Isaiah 34:1-10

In Ezekiel 33, the command to the watchman must be taken much more literally than parabolically. With that in mind; this post is somewhat of a primer on the judgment of God. The hope is that you will begin to see the purposes of God’s working on earth to bring about righteousness and worship of Him. People are obsessed with the modes of God’s determinations, but those don’t matter much; your riches (prepping) cannot save you. The pure of heart by Christ Jesus; faithful to keep His commands, are spared (Proverbs 11:4).

Before we get to chapter 34 of Isaiah, points should be made that are seemingly unrelated but, as we’ll see, are not. To understand what seems to be coming upon America, Isaiah 1-35 is very good study of God’s judgments. Not with an eye to escape the coming judgment, you won’t, but to teach your children and grandchildren to abstain from idols, perversions, witchcrafts, sorceries (including medicine, drugs, or spells – Revelation 18:23, 22:15), and most importantly reject abortion and the harm of children in all forms participating in no way whatsoever. God is the author of life, the desire to end innocent life is an immediate indicator of evil in a man’s heart. Those are antichrist. The vilest outward indicator of wickedness is the longing to harm the innocent, including animals. The destruction of Jerusalem is another good study to understand what becomes of those that reject God.

“For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?” – 1 Peter 4:17

1 Peter 4:17 is written to the immediate recipients of the letter, not about us today. But, by way of edifying the body of Christ, we should make careful note to be on guard; judgment starts in the house of God and gets worse for those who disobey the truth (those not saved). The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the power of God unto salvation, not only personally but familially, congregationally, and nationally. We are well within reason, and probably well to make application from this verse today.

“9 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. 10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed. 11 Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate, 12 And the LORD have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.” – Isaiah 6:9-12

In Chapter 6, verses 1-5, Isaiah sees the Lord seated upon His throne. Ezekiel 1:28, Daniel 8:17, and John (Revelation 1:17) fell upon their faces at the sight of His power and majesty.

Isaiah is given the prophecy to shut the hearts of God’s people. For disobeying God, He blinds them to the truth of the judgment pronounced against them until the land is left “desolate.” Nonetheless, Jehovah will have a tenth part, a remnant, for the Almighty will always have a people.

Remarkable is our Lord’s statement in Matthew 13:13, 15.

“13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand… 15 For this people’s heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.”

Note: Jesus, in Matthew 13:14, indicates the fulfillment of this blinding in first-century Israel, quoting Isaiah 6:9.

Next, in a parable, Jesus uses the example of a divided kingdom as coming to desolation in Matthew 12:22-30. Indeed America is a divided kingdom. Note: He doesn’t mention the desolations pronounced upon first-century Israel just yet. See Luke 21:20.

When the Almighty receives no sweet-smelling savor, when no sacrifice well and pleasing is offered, when He cannot find ten just men or a completed Sabbath of jubilee, He draws the sword upon the earth. He makes for himself a sacrifice fitting to both bear witness to His extraordinary power and also to satisfy His wrath.

An atoning sacrifice is offered that God would forbear (two examples: Leviticus 16:29-34, Hebrews 10:1), showing His mercies upon the people and not judging them.

Is the final sacrifice of Christ, once for all, the atonement of all the world’s sins forever? It’s the atonement for those who believe, bringing forgiveness of sin. But still, we keep His commandments. John 3:16 doesn’t mean that no judgments will exist before His bodily return. In fact, in 70AD, Israel was judged, as was just pointed out above (Luke 21:20).

Keeping the commands of Christ is both a sign and a test of our love for Him (John 14:15, 21). In love, we should desire to please Him. Many believers today take thanks for salvation but lack the desire to bring Him glory through keeping His word; this is a failure of faith to trust our King. Worship without sacrifice is not worthy of Christ.

Therefore, those that don’t keep His commandments hate Him. Perhaps they don’t feel hatred toward God, heaven forbid, but just as Christ told us unless a believer hates his own family, he cannot be a disciple (Luke 14:26). Surely, this isn’t active hatred; perhaps it’s comparative. This is what “take up thy cross” is about. The apostles made other arrangements for their families. They gave their life, being jailed, beheaded, stoned, crucified, boiled in oil to keep the commandments of Jesus Christ, going whithersoever the Spirit listeth. Christ himself gave His mother to John for safekeeping (John 19:27). (What became of Joseph, Mary’s husband?) Jesus did not contravene the 5th Commandment. (Honor thy father and thy mother – Exodus 20:12, reconfirmed in the New Covenant – Ephesians 6:2) But if called of Christ, you are to follow Him above all.

The sacrifice today is you. America has had it so good for so long that wrapping one’s mind around suffering, upheaval, and war is almost impossible. Very difficult to accept but accurate nonetheless; converted to Christ, we are killed all the day long (Psalm 44:22, Romans 8:36). All sin can be forgiven in Christ, but until the blessed day when all evil shall be abolished, God loves those that keep His commandments.

Interestingly Romans 8:36 points to Psalm 44:22.

“20 If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god; 21 Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart. 22 Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.” – Psalm 44:20-22

That verse 22 of the Psalm points forward to the birth of the church we must accept. The slaughter of Christians has been ongoing for two thousand years. Read verses 9-17 of Psalm 44 to see the hand of God. The body of Christ has, at times, been not only accepted but made the head of governments, priests, and kings. But at other junctures, severe persecution has come upon us throughout the so-called church age. We don’t think that every instance of slaughter in church history has been due to disobedience; God will get His glory in all things. Knowing the difference requires a depth of knowledge about the Bible, honesty with oneself, and much prayer with the Almighty so that eyes are not blinded to the truth.

Here’s the point thus far: the sword of the vengeance of God upon those that know His statutes yet reject them is a historical fact, and until Christ returns, sin remains; Jehovah is still Jehovah, the unchanging God (Malachi 3:6). He shall judge His people yet have a remnant. And He then judges those He used as the sword of chastisement against His people. This is also a historical fact. We’re not losing hope in the splendid reign of Christ when all enemies shall be put under Him; just being realistic about the current state of Western Civilization.

That’s some background to the failure of God’s people and judgment that He has brought upon them.

————————-

Now to bring this discussion to a broader application; judgment against national America. Before you object, the fact that America is not a nation but a country – soon to be a sector in the global corporate conglomerate is most likely part of that judgment.

These things take generations to come to fruition; that’s why they are so hard to realize for selfish and shortsighted people, which is all of us. When studying the judgments of God, remember that those were brewing for sometimes several generations before God got tired of having His holy name abused by people who “draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.” – Matthew 15:8

It’s a hard thing and refused to be accepted, let alone understood, living in denial the American Church will not turn back to the commands of Christ. Get over yourself. Get over your brainwashing and propaganda. We’re not exceptional nor above the reproach of God; the America of today is an enemy of Christ. Your inability to accept that doesn’t change the facts. Not only for 70 million dead babies but facilitating, more recently, the collapse of governments across the Middle East and earlier, in Central America, causing the Christians in those places to be killed by more than a million in number. And today, meddling in Africa brings rise to those that would destroy His church as fast as new groups of believers are made by the Spirit of God proclaiming Christ crucified. The American Church has done nothing to demand the endless war be halted but cheers every new bombing and invasion as though the “news” were the holy truth telling them that those peasants pose an existential threat.

Throughout each instance and church history, God has kept a faithful contingent reserved from wrath for His holy name. Most everyone has bowed the knee to idols, especially an antichrist State.

And now we arrive at America as a whole.

This isn’t only about the church; the enemies of Christ’s people are so much more consumed by their lusts and sins that the source of the wrath upon those that are antichrist often goes unknown to them. Still, we suspect from the totality of Scripture that deep in their mind, God will tell them who it is that they have transgressed. They’ll know on the last day in particular.

All of that is a background to what is in Isaiah 34:1-10. The Church has turned away from Christ, and now our civilization may well be called into question. America faces the consequences of actively participating in the slaughter of Christians. Take note that no greater wrath exists in the Bible than on those who make war on Christ by killing His people.

Having gone on for decades overseas, this slaughter of Christians will come home, and those who perpetrate it will claim to be doing (a) god a service.

This section of Scripture shows the vengeance of God against those that have perpetrated the controversy of (had a controversy with) Zion (Isaiah 34:8). Dispensationalists still apply this to the modern state of Israel. Those in the body of Christ are God’s people. Though none who believes in Jesus shall be cast off, a proper application would recognize that any who destroy the body of Christ are the enemies of God.

None of the verses cited in this writing speak of America or the modern era. They are provided to any that would listen today as a warning of the vengeance of God. His sword is against all who make Him their enemy and against their land. Why would America be any different? In Scripture, God uses those who don’t know Christ to do good to the people of God and also uses them for the day evil. There is no reason to think He doesn’t employ them for the same purposes today.

We’ll cite Isaiah 34:1-10 and refer to verses showing the same apocalyptic language. Take note, modern Revelation buffs; that apocalypse is not unique in language, symbolism, or hyperbole to the rest of Scripture.

As background, it’s generally accepted that Isaiah 34-35 is a pronouncement against all of the enemies of God’s people. We doubt historical Rome here, although some make application to specific kingdoms such as Babylon or Rome. God completed this prophecy before Christ came. Our application to today is apt; judgment against those that make war on the body of Christ.

Also, Isaiah 34 and 35 may be a summation of the book of Isaiah up to this point. That makes sense; Isaiah has thus far pronounced many judgments against the surrounding nations that are enemies of God’s people and now broadens out the scope.

God makes sweeping statements of an apocalyptic substance and often hyperbolic language in our verses. In the end, a people kept by Jehovah shall be delivered from all their foes.

In verse 1, all the nations of the earth are called to witness what becomes of those that hate God. See other similar instances in Isaiah 1:2, Isaiah 18:3, Psalm 49:1, Micah 1:2, and Revelation 1:7 (all kindreds of the earth).

In verse 2, God declares His indignation against all nations, and specifically their armies, as the instrument of assault against God’s people.

From there, we enter into a beautifully elucidated apocalyptic prophesy against them. The language is striking; the sword of Jehovah’s wrath is drawn; ruin and perpetual waste of desolations are coming. Take note that God has been longsuffering with America, but His mercy upon His enemies is not infinite.

The language is shocking in verse 3. Compare with Ezekiel 32:6 (read 7 and 8 while you’re there), Amos 9:13, and Revelation 14:20.

Though we take some of these compared verses here as more literal, see verse 4 of our text with Ezekiel 32:7-8, Joel 3:15, Matthew 24:29, 2 Peter 3:10, and Revelation 6:13-14.

Perhaps in verse 5, the sword of God’s wrath (bathed in heaven) is baptized by blood in purity and righteousness. It reminds us of a picture of the believer’s baptism, buried with Christ, and risen to walk in the kingdom of heaven. And His men now possess the truth of God, which is His word, to wield the twoedged truth of judgment (curses) and salvation (blessings).

These are a fearful thing. If your heart is not sinking at least a little at the wrath portrayed and the prospects for our future, you’ve been hardened, which is not a good indicator of your heart’s condition. None of this is to say that we have special knowledge of what’s coming; we’re making application from the Holy Bible, as God has instructed.

In Verse 6 and 7, the Lord makes for Himself a great sacrifice of the nations represented by the animals. Holiness requires righteousness; the best (fat) is not withheld being slain upon the alter of God’s vengeance for His people. Vengeance is the Lord’s, Psalm 94:1, Romans 12:19, Hebrews 10:30, and others. Compare Jeremiah 46:10 and note that the people and the place of God’s vengeance are specific. Though, of course, we have no dates or locations, we must assume that the events coming upon America now are not random. Compare Ezekiel 39:17-19, Zephaniah 1:7, Revelation 19:17-18, and others.

Verse 8 is the controversy of Zion mentioned earlier.

Verse 9 and the beginning of 10 show a fourfold judgment: the streams to pitch, dust to brimstone, land to burning pitch, never quenched smoke going up day and night. In apocalyptic sections of Scripture, God’s judgment most often comes in a pattern of four. The second part of verse 10 summarizes this section thus far: judicial review is brought from generation to generation, the land shall lay waste, none shall pass through it forever: compare with Revelation 14:10-11, Revelation 19:3.

Remember these things take time: “generation to generation.”

The American Church doesn’t take this stuff seriously, but God does, and so should you. If the leadership of the American Churches were honest, they would warn the American people about what must be coming.

Note: Many referenced verses for Isaiah 34:1-10 are supplied by Milton Terry, John Gill, or Albert Barnes.

This essay is excellent. It lays out the current state of the Fundamental Transformation of America. If you don’t read and understand this information, you might as well turn in your firearms and report to the tribunal.

The writing in places is taught; you will have to slow down to see the totality of the points. The part about guns is elementary for the readers at TCJ, so don’t stop reading with those few paragraphs.

We don’t want war, you don’t want war, and even the Left doesn’t want war; they want you not to fight back. America is in the midst of a genuine full-blown Communist Revolution. The busyness and information overload are features keeping you distracted.

We do disagree about how solid the local police are. The Left wants total police power, of course. They are well on their way to getting it.

This is excellent reporting. The State of Israel is becoming the test bed for the total control grid of not just currency. (Bold in the original.)

Starting Monday, it will be a criminal offense in Israel to pay more than the equivalent of $1,700 in cash to a business or $4,360 in cash to individual, as the government intensifies its ongoing war on tangible money.

It’s a war that began in earnest with the 2018 passage of the Law for the Reduction in the Use of Cash. Israeli businesses and individuals began facing limits on cash transactions in January 2019. However, on Aug 1, those limits are being slashed nearly in half.

[…]

Next, Israel’s finance ministry plans to deliver a proposal to parliament to criminalize the mere possession of cash exceeding a certain sum. One version of the proposal set the possession cap at the shekel equivalent of just $14,700.

Limits like Israel’s are just one way to work toward “de-cashing” a population. A 2017 International Monetary Fund paper outlined other tactics, including abolishing large-denomination bills, imposing reporting requirements on cash transactions over a certain threshold, requiring the declaration of cash when entering or leaving a country, or applying an additional tax when cash is used. Various countries and economic blocs have already started implementing measures from this menu.

Here’s s a snapshot of other aspects of the grid that’s being erected:

• Started technical trials for a central bank digital currency, which could help eradicate cash and maximize control
• Implemented digital vaccination passports that helped bar the unvaxxed — including those who were unboosted — from participating in various aspects of life.
• Maintained a controversial database storing the biometric data of millions of citizens.
• Joined a group of eight countries working toward development of “digital identities.”
• Aggressively implemented facial recognition programs.

I have no idea how long this video will be available before Google takes it down.

While it may be one of the most difficult things on earth to find weapons when your family is going hungry, that’s what they need to do.  Jesus said it Himself.  Sell your robe and buy a sword.  When He said that, He was explicitly telling them to disobey the civil authorities.  Ownership of weapons of any sort was declared illegal by the Roman occupation.

The international community doesn’t care because they are Christians.  That answers one thing that came up in the video.  Next, they need to begin killing the enemy.  Scores of them.  If their government tries to prevent them from acquiring weapons and doing so, then the government is their enemy and they should shoot them too.

If you can’t find any (Christian, White, Nationalist, Gun Owning, Heterosexual, Freedom Loving, Family Men) terrorists, then make some.

Agents are reportedly being pressured by their superiors to juice the data. The FBI is instructing its agents to reclassify cases as ‘domestic violent extremism’, Republican Representative Jim Jordan has claimed, citing agency whistleblowers. Jordan argued that the FBI may be inflating the statistics to satisfy the Biden administration’s crackdown on the supposed threat of homegrown terror.

This news should not be a shock. If you knew history, you would know this was coming.

Via WRSA, The New Reich is not what we were told it would be. The “NeoNazi” far right threat we’re constantly warned about has all been projection, as the Left is well known for that Modis Operandi; they are the New Reich.

These symbols and rituals are more than just the window dressing of the New Normal Reich. They are how our new “reality” is being created and maintained. The masses are like actors being forced to emotionally invest in the “reality” of an absurdist stage play. The more they repeat the performance, the more convincing the fictional “reality” becomes, regardless of how patently absurd it is … and it is becoming more and more absurd.

Yes, it’s a religion. It is built on the vapor of faith in a thing that can only produce misery. The bosses of the New Reich know how destructive their plans will be; you are the virus.

And these are just a few recent examples. I don’t think I need to provide an exhaustive list. At this point, you are either well aware and capable of facing what’s happening, or you’re not, in which case you are telling yourself whatever you need to tell yourself in order to pretend that what is happening isn’t happening.

The New Reich is not LARPing. Being in a disarmed country, those folks have got to be kicking themselves.

Via WRSA, On The CCP Role In The Ongoing COVID Con

This story is about a bear stalking somebody that moved into the woods, which the author, the target of the bear, uses as a metaphor for facing the Covid Vaccine damage. You’ll be interested in the Covid Vaccine data. The author indicates that CCP is at war with the U.S. but is missing a known piece of the puzzle; the illness started in a lab in the U.S., making the U.S. government a combatant against its people. You should read it; the vax data is excellent, assuming it’s accurate.

But the best part is about the bear encounter.

I sped indoors, locking the door. I grabbed a weapon out of the hall closet. In my haste, I grabbed the weapon that looked like a rifle, instead of the actual rifle, which was in a case. Thus I found myself locked in an upstairs bathroom, cowering, armed with a BB gun.

[…]

I looked under the bed: hiding there could not save me if the bear made it into the house. I realized I was holding a BB gun, and felt ridiculous. Even if I managed to shoot it, this would do nothing but enrage him. The thin bedroom doors that I had thought so rustic and charming, could be broken down by an angry animal of that size in no time.

My heart pounded as I realized that he was not leaving; he continued pacing and circling, no matter where I went.

I went back into the bathroom, and locked that door with its flimsy lock.

City folk are cute.

When I called back in spite of myself and begged the police for help, they told me to call again only if he managed to break into the house.

When seconds count, the police are a third phone call away.

“16 And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour. 17 And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the midwife said unto her, Fear not; thou shalt have this son also. 18 And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died) that she called his name Benoni: but his father called him Benjamin. 19 And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem. 20 And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: that is the pillar of Rachel’s grave unto this day.” – Genesis 35:16-20

“Fear not: thou shalt have this son also.” Does it take massive brainwashing for a woman to kill her baby, or are they predisposed to be lower than an animal? Imagine a person not wanting the inconvenience of bringing a soul into the world by God’s grace; what compels a woman to kill her own child? Look at the text, Rachel was dying, in hard labor and great travail, but the midwife told her not to worry; the baby would be born. The midwife didn’t say; I’ll try to save you; she was saying, you have fulfilled the call and duty of the Almighty, fear not, depart in peace.

“Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth?” – Isaiah 45:10

In Isaiah 45, from verse 5 downward, God makes it very plain that He is God, we are His created handiwork, with no right to question His motives or what He brings forth. There is a higher Law! God goes so far as to state that all the offspring that parents produce are God’s creation. Who is anyone to question what God has made and brought forth by the womb?

“Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.” – Psalm 127:3

He made them, He knew them before the foundation of the world, and the Creator breathes life into every soul. There’s no reasonable way to conclude that America doesn’t deserve her destruction. Do we command God and destroy the work of His hands without recompense? He would be no God at all if that were the case.

Today society measures the courage of a woman the same way they measure a man’s; are they a cop, a soldier, a career gal? What kind of people would encourage killing their children and grandchildren in favor of women acting like men? There’s not much to say about that that hasn’t already been said. The passage in Genesis 35 recently hit like a ton of bricks; Rachel and her midwife did everything they could to bring another life into the world, and Rachel gave herself that the tribe of Benjamin might fulfill the word of God. We don’t want to call this a type of Christ, but she died that he might live; what else did Christ do, if not that very thing; die for you, that you might live? What is the pathology of killing a child inside of you?

“10 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. 11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. 12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.” – Proverbs 31:10-12

And think of the Uvalde Shooting; how do 400 cops sleep at night, how do they live with themselves? How does standing by not terrorize their conscience every waking moment? America is full of mindless, heartless, soulless creatures; evil has come upon us as a nation, I fear, sure destruction is our lot; what else could God do? Is He not God!

Some young man with a devil in him starts killing children; who are to blame? It isn’t the gun; parents may play a large part, but who didn’t teach the parents? Ultimately the Church has failed by allowing evil to engulf the country. Watching the news and waiting for the rapture, that’s the American Church.

Many American Christians admit that judgment is first upon them (the house of God) and that we may have brought it as a nation. Still, they won’t realize they have a say, that taking just action against the unjust within God’s Law is allowable, even desired under the Law.

Throwing off such chains of those who would hate God is not some philosophical quip by a founding generation; it’s God’s Word. Waiting and praying for justice and deliverance from the same devils in unholy collusion with satan running America is evidence of brainwashing and further proof that American Christians may love Christ, the example servant, but they hate Christ the Lord.

Government can prosecute, enslave, imprison, kill, even crucify and bulldoze into trenches those who would tell the truth of God’s word, but none of that would change the facts at hand, that they are guilty before the throne of the Almighty God, now, right now! But admittedly, judgment is first upon the House of God for these sins.

Everybody loves the meek baby Jesus. But when Christians are asked, how does allowing mass murder of children love your neighbor, they become confused, even defiant, believers and even unbelievers alike. It is the failure of God’s men that has brought the ruin of Western Civilization.

Count it all joy that God loves us enough to destroy our nation, and then you can begin to work with God to repent, which does not mean some mealy-mouthed sorrowful prayer, although it should start with prayer. Repent means stopping what you are doing that’s against the Law of God. Once you understand that the love of Father God is why He will not abide our wickedness, then you can understand that He would be with the effort to right the wrong. There is both sin by commission, to actively participate in evil, and sin of omission, which is knowing to do good and doing it not (James 4:17).

By repentance, we seek forbearance, that He might not destroy us out of the land. God has given us a beautiful, bountiful, and various land, but the people’s hearts have turned cold, ugly, mean, and degraded. If your countrymen don’t stop, they must be made to stop, and being convinced by the totality of Scripture, would not God bless such an effort? Are 70 million babies to be rendered unto Cesar? Are they Cesar’s children or Gods? It is not the love of God or our neighbor to allow the country to persist in mass murder. And how, Heaven help us all, does it love those children to gaze upon their ongoing destruction for decades while doing nothing, the ground crying out with the blood of 70 million innocent?

All beings brought to life arrive by the creation of God. Are God’s pinnacle creation a mere commodity, or are they precious in the sight of the Lord? We know where this is headed. We see it coming all around the edges. The selling of those yet unborn, killed for their body parts, for “research”? And the prior attempts to take Stem Cells all very clinically, scientifically, and sterile in a laboratory environment, but we all know where this leads.

First, do no harm? Is it any wonder the medical industrial complex has turned to sick care, keeping people ill for profit? What kind of sin is this when it’s proclaimed in the name of Science? Science is the observation of God’s creation or His created order. When a people make Science their god, any abomination in the name of Science is called some common good. The mass murder by a vaccine is only a “logical” step in this self-destructive chain. Wholesale slaughter must be en route. It’s what the evil in men excels at when wickedness is allowed to reign unchecked. If not for God’s hand, the whole world would turn to violence as before the flood.

Holy God permits that evil necessary to teach those He loves that He is God, right is right, and wrong is wrong. He is God; He defines these terms and makes the outcome His handiwork of human history. Lord help us; we’re in trouble. When you’re in trouble with God, only God can save you.

Since Roe has been overturned, has a single State Governor called for legislation to outlaw abortion in that State?

At Newsweek, sprinkled with some propaganda, the story is getting out there. TCJ hasn’t reported on this and there’s some good reporting elsewhere. Just thought to update folks who haven’t been following the situation in the Netherlands.

But the effects will be global. The Netherlands is the world’s second largest agricultural exporter after the United States, making the country of barely 17 million inhabitants a food superpower. Given global food shortages and rising prices, the role of Dutch farmers in the global food chain has never been more important. But if you thought the Dutch government was going to take that into account and ensure that people can put food on the table, you would be wrong; when offered the choice between food security and acting against “climate change,” the Dutch government decided to pursue the latter.

What is particularly frustrating is that the government is fully aware that what it is asking farmers to do will drive many of them out of existence.

Note this sentence carefully:

The reaction by members of the agricultural sector has been massive and ongoing since 2019, but the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic allowed the government of Prime Minister Mark Rutte to ban protests in 2020 and 2021.

[…]

It may make the country’s elite to feel good about themselves, but it will also result in large parts of the population seeing their living standards decline and their economic existence targeted by the state for ideological reasons.

All governments were given a head start during the planned shutdowns, but people seem to be coming out of dreamland about the global communist takeover. Europe and North America are not Central America; thinking there will be no reaction is a critical error by the globalists. On the other hand, there are a lot of socialist slogans used by the farmers. Will they accept concessions only to enter the ever-tightening noose?
