How do I know the media is brainwashing people?

Obama's ICE Chief received the Presidential Award for Distinguished Service for removing over 900,000 illegal aliens.

Trump's ICE Chief is called a Nazi.

It is the same person.....Tom Homan....

The only difference? The narrative.

[Sean Davis @seanmdav]

So much of the commentary on this horrific act, and the evil response of law enforcement, has focused on the race of Henry Nowak: he’s white, and his assailant is not, and as a result, the authorities coddled the murderous Indian immigrant and punished the innocent white victim. Obviously this is anti-white racism, right?

Yes, but I think it is worse than that. Because skin color here is being used as a proxy. The actual target here, and the reason for the global demonization of white people in every thriving and successful civilization they have stood, is the deliberate dispossession of any and all systems and societies that have western European Christianity as their foundation.

On the surface, it appears to be racially driven, and for most of the people committing the actual violence, it may well be. If Henry Nowak weren’t white, he wouldn’t have been stabbed, he wouldn’t have been cuffed, and his killer wouldn’t have been treated with kid gloves. But the forces driving third-world immigration into the West don’t care about skin color nearly as much as they care about destroying the Christian foundation of modern society. The communists tried this with class, and it didn’t work, so now they’re weaponizing race on behalf of the revolution instead.

When they whine about “colonization” by countries like England, France, Spain, and Portugal, what they actually hate is the spread of Christianity. Africa, South Asia, South America, North America, you name it. As the West spread, so did Christianity.

Never mind that the men who conquered the baby-sacrificing savages of Latin America were Spanish. Ignore that the Portuguese civilized large
swaths of Africa. They’re “white” according to the race revolutionaries.

Did you think it was an accident that France and England and Spain and America have all been similarly targeted for replacement, displacement, and destruction via immigration? It’s not because they’re “white.” It’s because of the values that each great empire held that made them great.

A thief looks at productive land or a productive business and believes he is entitled to its fruits, paying no attention to what is required to produce them. So he raises any army by fomenting resentment, and he takes over Rhodesia. He takes over South Africa. And once fertile and lush civilizations are destroyed seemingly overnight, much to the confusion of the revolutionary. Like the locust, which can only devour, the revolutionary destroys the land and is left to rule over the wasteland.

Having lost any sense of identity or will to defend itself, England is circling the drain. The Christianity of the Brits launched a global empire, and eventually birthed the greatest nation in all of history. And having discarded that which made it great, with no seeming desire to return to its roots, England will fail. So will France. And Germany. And the rest of the West.

They will be ruled by pagan savages and descend into death and chaos and misery. But it won’t be because of “anti-white racism,” even though that racism is real, deadly, and spreading. It will be because the great modern civilizations are monuments to the power of Christian belief, Christian morality, and Christian fortitude. These great nations have been dubbed as “white” because that makes them an easier target to destroy given the madness of the modern age. But “whiteness” here is not the ultimate target. Christianity is.

[Scott Polender @SPolender]

@sgruber91 Yes. This is what every Christian in the world believes.

TEXAS SENATE RACE: Remember, the House didn’t put the staffers who reported Ken Paxton to the FBI under oath, but the Senate did during trial where they admitted they had no evidence of any crime. The FBI didn’t find any either. It was political payback.

[unseen1 @unseen1_unseen]

Just pass the damn thing. These senators from both parties are what is wrong with our country and like in ancient Rome, the US senate will probably be what brings about dictatorship here in the US as they fail the people and instead worry about their little pissant power centers.

[Scott Polender @SPolender]

Ha! Nothing that I’ve said about the created order and covenant is heresy. I’m not saying what you seem to be implying I’ve said. Questions: Could Jesus have come as a woman? Should we pray Our Mother? Why not? I’m happy to disagree. Your original post was extremely bold and against nearly 2000 years of teaching.

[Scott Polender @SPolender]

@johnpauldickson @Thatbrian @lancepeeler That’s not what I’m arguing. C.S. Lewis is right, once you have female priestesses, you might as well pray “Our Mother in heaven”. Could Jesus have come as a woman? Creation order and the covenant say no.

[Scott Polender @SPolender]

It’s significant to creation and covenant that Christ is a man. Modern Evangelicals largely have truncated the gospel so that these categories have been emptied of their significance. I find it surprising that you seemed unaware that many of us believe you can sin against creation order. Women ought not have authority over a man. The overwhelming majority of the church has agreed. This is sin. I have friends who disagree. But I side with the Fathers and Reformers. It’s pagan.

Prepare for the most jaw-dropping 4 minutes and 21 seconds you will watch this year.

Nicole Shanahan — ex-wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin, former running mate of RFK Jr., and a woman who personally signed nine-figure philanthropy checks — went full whistleblower on the entire Silicon Valley “tech wife mafia” and how they were used.

Her exact words:
“I don’t think many of the tech mafia wives realize… they were used to set the groundwork for what Klaus Schwab calls The Great Reset. Their money especially was being conscripted through a network of NGO advisors, Hollywood, Davos, and their own companies. A really small group of people… completely blind to how their groundwork is being used to enable these Great Reset policies.”

Then she turns the knife inward:
“These women find their meaning through philanthropic work. I really believed I was helping Black communities and indigenous communities rise up. But now the problems have gotten worse. Crime worse. Mental health worse. The whole model is broken. At the end of the day they always go: ‘But climate change.’ Social justice + climate change — it gets progressive women 100% of the time.”

She even says many now believe the biggest “climate change issues” are actually geoengineering issues.

This isn’t some random podcast bro.

This is a woman who lived in the mansions, sat on the boards, flew private to Davos parties… and is now saying:
“We were the useful idiots.”

I have not ever gotten involved in PCA denominational politics, because I'm a simple layman and I need more political fights like I need a hole in the head.

But I could not agree more strongly with Michael Foster's comments here.

I just want to go to church, be shepherded and instructed in the Word, and if there are things going on in the denomination politically that I don't love, as long as they aren't totally absurd, I'm going to let them be.

The suspension of @ZacharyGarris is absurd, pharisaic legalism. It is unequal weights and measures on steroids.

He will very likely be exonerated by higher PCA courts, but the damage will have already been done. As Foster notes, “The process itself becomes the punishment.” The best way to stop this and similar abuses, is to sanction both the people who made the absurd charges and the court itself that made such an absurd ruling, while reforming our judicial processes to prevent future similar abuses. That will send the right message about the appropriate way to handle 99% of disputes, which is man to man through argumentation and persuasion—not in “running to mom” because another kid said (barely) mean words that you didn’t like.

If the PCA chooses to, as a denomination, seek to be “respectable” in the eyes of the world, rather than in the eyes of God, we will go the way of the mainline into destruction. It’s happened continuously over centuries with numerous factions within the American church that has sought the world’s rather than God’s approval, and there is no reason to believe that we are so chosen by God that he will decide that we are exempt.

As Foster notes, if we don’t get our house in order “younger men are going to ask a very reasonable question: Why would I come into, or remain in, a denomination where the process itself can be weaponized against faithful pastors?” I am already seeing this of younger men of my acquaintance, and it does a lot to explain the explosive growth of the CREC and other similar conservative reformed movements among faithful and motivated young Christian men.

I am a complementarian not a believer in strict patriarchy, but this sort of passive-aggressive, underhanded way of fighting is completely effeminate. If we’re going to have that sort of effeminate leadership, why don’t we just skip the step, and bring in actual women leaders, since they do this sort of fighting much more effectively than men do.

Is that what we really want?

@tlloydcline These charges are laughable. The managers can only manage in accelerate decline. They fight the righteous in those who seek reform and the purity of the church. Imagine if they found out about Jesus’s words or the apostle’s!
