This program will resume discussing the January 6, 2021 demonstration against the blatant vote fraud that took place during the 2020 election, fraud that was documented by thousands of affidavits and numerous video recordings.  The vote fraud was obvious and undeniable.  The news media, which should have been diligently researching the evidence and striving to ensure that those involved were exposed and held accountable (subjected to criminal prosecution), seems to be an accessory to the fraud by not only ignoring the fraud, but actively disparaging anyone who or any organization that dares to expose the fraud.  I will be reading portions of the article “How Christian nationalism drove the insurrection: A religious history of Jan. 6,” subtitled “Fanatical, extreme religious faith wasn't incidental to last year's Capitol assault: It was a central driving force” by KATHRYN JOYCE, which was published by Salon Magazine on January 6, 2022.  I will often be interspersing my comments.

Our Constitution, which provides us at the federal level, and guarantees to us at the state level (Article IV, Section 4), a Republican form of government, has designed in it several effective methods for responding to governmental corruption: The First Amendment (specifically, Freedoms of Speech and the Press, and the rights to Peaceably Assemble and Petition for a Redress of Grievances); impeachment of federal civil officers (Article II, Section 4); and free and fair elections to hold accountable, and replace, inept and corrupt government officials.  These methods can be described as the soap box (discussion and debate) and the ballot box (free and fair elections).  If these peaceful means of redress are stifled, societies become de-stabled, conditions become intolerable, people take to the streets in violent protest, and civil strife, including civil war, becomes likely.  If the two peaceful boxes for redress are rendered ineffective, the violent box for redress, the cartridge box, becomes the solution of last resort. 

Over one million people met at the US Capitol to peacefully protest the loss of one of the most cherished rights: the right to select our political leaders in free and honest elections.  In assembling at the US Capitol on January 6, these people exercised three of the rights guaranteed in the First Amendment: Freedom of Speech, Freedom to Peaceably Assemble, and Freedom to Petition for a Redress of Grievances.  The violence that occurred during the protest on January 6 was nearly all perpetrated by agent provocateurs, FBI informants, or out-of-control Capitol Police.  Two people died of violence during the January 6, demonstration: Ashli Babbitt, who was callously shot to death by Lt. Michael Byrd of the Capitol Police, and Rosanne Boyland, who, based on video evidence and witness testimony, appears to have been kicked to death by the Capitol Police.  Never forget Ashli Babbitt and Rosanne Boyland.

A word of caution to those who have the urge to travel to Washington, DC: based on what happened to the peaceful protestors on January 6, 2021, neither sanity nor Constitutional liberty is observed by local or federal government officials in our nation’s capitol.  Washington, DC seems to have fallen to the state described of Babylon in Revelation 18:2 and has “become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.”  One of these “unclean and hateful birds” could be named “Michael” and spelled Byrd; the killer of Ashli Babbitt.

The program title, Liberty and Posterity, comes from the US Constitution, the preamble of which states that one of the reasons for writing and ratifying the Constitution was to “secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity,” our posterity being our children and descendants not yet born.  As a reminder, on the Liberty and Posterity program, we view all events and activities in relation to reality, truth, and Biblical morality, the same principles stated in the first sentence of the Declaration of Independence that entitle the United States to be separate from, and equal to, other nations: The Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God.  The Laws of Nature are the physical laws by which the physical universe operates (also called reality and truth), and the Laws of Nature’s God are the moral laws of God as specified in the Bible.  James Madison, Fourth President of the United States and one of the authors of the US Constitution wrote: “The future and success of America is not in this Constitution, but in the laws of God upon which this Constitution is founded.”  If you have a problem with that, the problem is on your end, not ours.

As a disclaimer, politically I am an active member of the Republican Party.  I am pro-life because I support Biblical morality and the US Constitution, which, per the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments, guarantees us that our right to life can’t be taken from us without due process of law.  The Democrat Party will not accept people who are pro-life, so I can’t be a Democrat.  I am a Republican, but I am not a party hack.  I took an oath to protect and defend the US Constitution from all enemies, both foreign and domestic, not to advance any particular political organization.  For that reason, I refer to myself as a centrist: I support politically those who support the US Constitution and Declaration of Independence and their underlying principles.  

Before I begin reading the article “How Christian nationalism drove the insurrection: A religious history of Jan. 6,” I want to comment on Salon Magazine.  Salon Magazine is a leftist publication.  In other words, it is agenda driven to undermine the Biblical foundation of the United States, our individual liberty, and our sovereignty.  Since Salon Magazine is agenda driven, rather than truth driven, objectivity and honesty are not important to Salon Magazine, so information contained in Salon Magazine may be inaccurate, incomplete, or distorted.  Readers of Salon Magazine should be advised to use the reading technique of people in the Soviet Union: consider it a lie unless proven otherwise.
