The Good Samaritan
My wife is a soft-hearted woman who works hard to be a good Christian. Setting a trap for her, the other day I asked her what she would do if an illegal alien woman with a crying baby in her arms knocked on our front door and pressed us to take her in, let her and her baby live in our house and eat our food. Not surprisingly, her first inclination was to be helpful. After all, we do have a spare room, don’t we? And we have plenty of food, too. Surely we could show Christian compassion and charity and welcome this woman and her baby into our home, right?
Wrong. Not only the wrong answer, but a dangerously wrong answer. Writ large, it could spell the end of America.
Thanks to the deliberate lawless behavior of a treasonous, seditious, anti-American regime that has illegitimately stolen its way into power at our head, the American people as a whole are, in effect, being presented with exactly this proposition as millions upon millions of people with no means of support are allowed illegally to enter and illegally remain in our country, supported in all their needs by seditious leadership who are grossly mis- and mal-allocating the people’s resources.
These invaders are, in effect, knocking on each of our doors and asking that we provide them, free of charge, food, shelter, transportation, education, medical services and many other amenities of life that we over our lifetimes have worked hard to provide for ourselves. And, again, they are doing this with the connivance of our own traitorous, seditious government.
What is at stake for America in this massive illegal invasion? Nothing less than the very survival of our people as a free, prosperous and law-abiding society. The very continued existence of the nation is at deadly risk.
And therein lies the challenge for the American people - understanding what is actually happening to them, what is deliberately being done to them, and to what end it is being done.
If we get no further than thinking we have a Christian obligation to be charitable to these invaders, we will fall into the trap that has been treacherously laid by the lawless, America-hating traitors and globalists among us.
The trick, then, is understanding that the great question now being asked among us is not whether we will show Christian charity to these willful lawbreakers, but whether we are prepared to do what is necessary to ensure the continued existence of our free, prosperous and democratic Republic.
Will America survive as a free and prosperous nation, or will it be overthrown?
Simply stated, if, consequent to some fatally misguided sense of Christian duty, we passively allow the destruction of traditional America - a nation based on an inspired Declaration of God-given human rights and a divinely inspired Constitution that enshrines and protects those rights by establishing the rule of law - then all bets are off. If we lose the country, what else is there? Everything that defines a nation will have been trashed and we will find ourselves standing in a pile of ashes that was once the great nation of America.
What then? This is exactly the vacuum the America-hating traitors and globalists among us intend dictatorially to fill with their elitist new world order - an order you will have no voice in, an order where the these supremely arrogant aspiring dictators assure us “you will own nothing, have no privacy and life has never been better.”
They first give us a perfect description of serfdom - owning nothing (they intend to own everything - see the free book “The Great Taking”), having no privacy (total surveillance) - then tell us we’ll love it. What a colossal insult to intelligence! See how little they think of you? How much they despise you? How stupid they think you are? To them you are nothing more than cattle - dumb animals to be herded, put to work and totally consumed at their pleasure.
But first they have to create the necessary power vacuum by burning down traditional, constitutional, rule-of-law America - the “shining city on a hill”, the one remaining great libertarian obstacle to their globalist power-grab. As I have noted previously, as long as America stands free and prosperous, governed by the Constitution and the rule of law that flows from it, these aspiring dictators can never achieve their tyrannical globalist ends.
How to accomplish this? How to bring down America? Socialist activists Richard Cloward and Francis Piven provided the answer long ago (1966) in what has famously become known as the Cloward/Piven strategy. Concisely stated, “it is the strategy of forcing political change leading to societal collapse through orchestrated crises”. The idea is to overwhelm existing welfare and other systems - such as education, medical, legal, law enforcement services, etc. - thereby creating crises that lead to chaos and “societal collapse”. Once the national house is burned to the ground and the power vacuum created, the idea is to seize power and rebuild the country according to the dictatorial designs of the very people who conspired to burn it down. In the midst of the chaos they have produced, there will be nothing and nobody to stop them - or so they think.
By means of the massive invasion of illegal aliens, Cloward/Piven is precisely the strategy now being employed against us by the globalist traitors in our midst. It is transparently easy to recognize, and, as I argued in a recent Substack post titled “Treason at the Border - What’s Really Behind It?”, there is no chance this throwing open of what was previously a secure border is random or accidental. It has been deliberately planned to do exactly what it is doing to the country - spread chaos and bring America to its knees - and, though the perpetrators loudly protest otherwise, you can be certain it is not Christian charity - a heart-felt concern for the downtrodden of the world - that motivates these lawless traitors. Lusting for absolute power and heedless of the human suffering they cause, they don’t have a Christian bone in their bodies - but they are absolutely counting on our Christian inclinations distracting us and blinding us to what they are doing.
But wait… We are Christians, aren’t we? We do have a Christian duty to help these poor “immigrants”, don’t we? DON’T WE?
NO. WE. DON’T.
Nor should we - if we are thinking rationally. Don’t ask me to feed and clothe these lawbreakers now that our treasonous government has delivered them to my doorstep. Most directly, most immediately, these invaders, as concerns their immediate needs, are the direct responsibility not of you and me, who have limited resources available to support ourselves and our families, but of those treasonous scofflaws and saboteurs at our head who have allowed, encouraged and funded this law-breaking invasion.
As our illegitimate, seditious government continues to spend our money lavishly on alien lawbreakers who have no right to it, we, the people, have been and continue to be victimized and robbed by a malfeasant government. We have already paid. By no rational measure do we have responsibility further to aid and abet this travesty - to draw down the limited resources we have left to us and have direct control of - those the government has not yet taken from us - our incomes (what is left after onerous taxation), our savings (those few of us who have any), our homes, our food - in order to lavish more comforts on this army of law-breaking intruders.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me…
The tsunami of illegal aliens is a not properly understood as a multitude of poverty-stricken unfortunates (they each paid the cartels US$10,000 or more to get across our border) begging us to prove our Christian charity by indefinitely supplying all their needs. Instead, it is a mercenary army, bought and paid for by our illegitimate, traitorous, seditious leadership, intended to overwhelm our limited social services resources (remember, America is already a debt-ridden, bankrupt nation), sow the seeds of Cloward/Piven chaos, and thereby make way for a political revolution and a new world order. That is exactly what the illegal alien army is intended to be, exactly what they are, and exactly why they have to be removed if America is to be reclaimed.
If Americans were asked whether they would be willing to have the quality of their lives reduced by 50% in order to provide for an endless flow of lawbreaking illegal aliens, what do you suppose the answer would be? Would you agree to such a proposition? How about just a 25% decrease in our quality of life? Any takers?
See the essay “Lifeboat Ethics - The Case Against Helping the Poor”
Though every Christian has to determine personally from day to day his or her personal charitable obligations (personally, without giving her something, I would probably not turn away from my door that hypothetical illegal alien mother with a baby in her arms), the massive invasion of illegals is an entirely different matter.
Should we collectively accede to the idea that we, the legal citizens of the country, have some sort of suicidal Christian duty to economically self-immolate by providing for all the needs of this designedly endless, illegal inflow of humanity being allowed to pour over our borders, we will be playing directly into the hands of America’s globalist enemies who seek to impoverish and disempower the American people. If we buy into their lie, they win, we lose… and America is finished.
Does any reader who claims to be a Christian think the God of our Fathers, the one true and living God, or his son Jesus Christ - in whose name Christians acknowledge an obligation to show charity to their fellow human beings - would agree to or encourage the overthrow of America - the divinely inspired bright light and protector of human liberty in the world - in the cause of Christian charity? Should charity prevail over human liberty and the very existence of liberty’s last-ditch protector in the world - the great nation of America? The thought makes reason stare. As Ronald Reagon rightly observed:
“If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on earth.”
Compassion or charity before liberty? Above liberty? Compassion or charity at the expense of liberty?
Never.
Cart before the horse.
Without liberty, there can be neither compassion nor charity.
The free agency of man rules supreme, in heaven and on earth. Without the free agency of his children - their freedom to choose - none of the purposes of God for them can be realized. This great conflict - liberty vs. tyranny - has existed since the beginning. Before the world was, a great war was fought in heaven over this principle (in the Bible, see Revelation 12:7-9). What we are witnessing today is just an extension of that war.
This from modern scripture:
"That Satan ... is the same which was from the beginning, and he came before me [God], saying, 'Behold, here am I, send me, I will be thy son, and I will redeem all mankind, that one soul shall not be lost [not possible if men are free to choose], and surely I will do it; wherefore give me thine honor.
"But, behold, my Beloved Son, which was my Beloved and Chosen from the beginning, said unto me, 'Father, thy will be done, and the glory be thine forever’.
"Wherefore, because Satan rebelled against me, and sought to destroy the agency of man, which I, the Lord God, had given him, and also, that I should give unto him mine own power; by the power of mine Only Begotten, I caused that he should be cast down;
"And he became Satan, yea, even the devil, the father of all lies, to deceive and to blind men, and to lead them captive at his will, even as many as would not hearken unto my voice.”
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Pearl of Great Price, Book of Moses 4:1-4.
Thus we are able to understand that what is really ongoing among us today is not a test of Christian charity - that is a satanic lie - but. as it was in the beginning, a great conflict centered on the principle of free agency - human liberty - and the survival of the great free nation, America, God raised up to establish and protect it:
“According to the laws and constitution of the people, which I [God] have suffered to be established, and should be maintained for the rights and protection of all flesh, according to just and holy principles…
“Therefore, it is not right that any man should be in bondage to another. And for this purpose have I established the Constitution of this land, by the hands of wise men whom I raised up unto this very purpose, and redeemed the land by the shedding of blood.”
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Doctrine & Covenants, Section 101:77-80
A divinely inspired Constitution, to be “maintained for the rights and protection of all flesh… not just Americans but the whole human family of God…
Accordingly, what we are witnessing and experiencing with the great invasion of illegals is not a random human tragedy or natural disaster that we must respond to with Christian compassion, like a flood or an earthquake, but, instead, a carefully planned and executed, treacherous, satanic attack on free agency and on the very foundations and viability of our free and democratic Republic - an attack ingeniously designed to make us lower our guard in the name of Christian charity. Beautifully, brilliantly satanic…
If America is lost, free agency is lost…
If you can be fooled, you will be…
With that understanding we are then in a position to ask the right questions, establish priorities, understand the price we will have to pay to defend our precious God-given heritage of liberty, and steel ourselves for the inevitable conflict. No guts, no glory…
Having come to understand the treachery afoot among us and its ultimate aims - the overthrow of free and democratic America, the end of free agency, and the forcing of the people into a regimented, totalitarian new world order - the first and right question we must ask, in our present dire circumstances, is what must we do to protect and preserve the Republic? - the only entity in the whole world brilliantly organized and inspired by God to defend against satanic assaults on free agency.
A few answers jump to my mind:
Somebody stand up and wave again Captain Moroni’s Title of Liberty:
“In memory of our God, our religion, and freedom, and our peace, our wives, and our children.”
- Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Book of Mormon, Alma 46:12 (about 73 BC)
Close the border. Martial the troops. Build the wall. Make it known that not one more person will be admitted until proper order is restored to the immigration process - an order that has as its first priority the best interests of the legal citizens of America - not those of everybody else in the world.
Re-establish the rule of law, so that, once again all people, domestic and foreign, know that in America the law matters. "If the law be down, such a wind will blow in the land that no man can stand." - Sir Thomas More.
Refuse illegal alien access to resources that have been paid for and belong to the legal citizens of America. Give illegals nothing but a sack lunch and a ticket back home.
Establish draconian punishments in law for those who employ illegal aliens (thereby pushing down the wages of American citizens). If illegal aliens cannot be employed, and there are no handouts to support them, many will self-deport.
Beyond that, with perhaps a few judicial exceptions, deport all those who have broken our laws to enter the country and broken our laws to remain. Write new laws that retroactively disallow "anchor babies". Babies born in America to illegal alien parents go home with their parents.
Those lawbreakers who are deported may not reapply for admission to the US for, say, 2 years, and then they go to the end of the line of applicants.
Whom shall we the people send to get this job done? Who has the spine to do what has to be done? That’s a rhetorical question - the answer is obvious.
These actions and others - measures that will surely be considered hard doctrine in the view of the intellectually, morally and spiritually ignorant and weak-kneed - will re-establish in the eyes of the nation's people and the whole world the previously shattered character, credibility and sovereignty of America as a nation ruled by law. All will know again that in America the law matters. If we do not have the determination to rebuild that law-abiding national character, it likely will be lost to us forever.
Will there be a price to be paid for taking these actions? Most certainly - and the globalist liberals - the very America-haters and saboteurs who have deliberately brought this treasonous catastrophe upon us - will be beating their breasts and loudly decrying the inhumanity of the “unchristian” measures that must be employed to save the country.
Obviously, the lives of millions of illegal aliens - people who knowingly broke our laws - who paid the Mexican cartels thousands of dollars for the opportunity to come and break our laws - will be upended. Nothing new here. It happens every day. The lives of apprehended lawbreakers, no matter what law they broke, no matter who they are (in theory) or what their circumstances, are typically upended when they are called to account before the law and the requisite penalties imposed. A mother who breaks the law may go to prison, leaving her baby to be cared for by others. Or a lawbreaking father, notwithstanding his having a wife and children dependent upon him, may find himself behind bars and the family forced to fend for themselves. Again, it happens every day… Justice is blind…
So it will be with those who knowingly broke our immigration laws. They won’t be brutalized, thrown in prison or separated from their loved ones, but their lives will be uprooted, and their turmoil - the consequence of their own law-breaking - will rightly touch the hearts of many. Sad, indeed, that such things have to happen. But the law either matters or it doesn’t - and if it doesn’t, as Sir Thomas More observed, “such a wind will blow in the land that no man can stand.” Nothing less than that is at stake here.
The pending discomfort of the illegal alien law-breakers - the disruption in their lives - again the consequence of their own actions - necessary to the resurrection and reinvigorating of the rule of law in America, is dwarfed and insignificant when compared to the price previous generations have paid when called to fight in or were somehow victims of the great wars fought in the cause of freedom - conflicts that cost the lives of millions upon millions of human beings, shattered the lives of millions more, and incinerated unimaginable amounts of wealth.
As we work to solve the treasonous illegal alien invasion problem, no one will die, nothing will be blown up or burned down, and no one will suffer hunger or deprivation. America has the resources to manage such a mass deportation in a humane fashion. All that is lacking is the leadership to make it happen.
Again, whom shall we send?
If we don’t have the backbone to bite the bullet and do the hard and sometimes unpleasant work necessary to reclaim, rebuild and reinvigorate the national character and spirit after the vicious, treasonous and seditious attacks by the lawless globalist America-haters, we will be conceding the demise of America and agreeing to the dying of the light, the fading away of the bright light of liberty and prosperity America was conceived to be and truly was for generations. What will remain will be a dumbed-down, subjugated, impoverished people, a dim flicker of the nation's former greatness - which is exactly what our enemies intend.
Borrowing language from the Dillan Thomas poem, “Do not go gentile into that good night… but rage, rage against the dying of the light!” Will we, you and I, stand by and let the sweet light of liberty die quietly away into the dark night of tyranny? Or will we rage, rage against those who seek to take our God-given freedom from us?
Right vs. wrong, truth vs. lies, reality vs. fantasy, order vs. chaos, law vs. lawlessness, patriotism vs. treason, liberty vs. tyranny, light vs. darkness, good vs. evil, God vs. the Godless…
What’ll it be? You choose…
If you can be fooled, you will be…
These are the times that try men’s souls…
Torquemada
Right on Ron!
