We do not live in a free country -- the United States has become a "dictatorship of democracy" just like the old Soviet Union was the "dictatorship of the proletariat."   

Nothing going on today is new . . . same actors and methods with slightly different garb. 

Today you are "demonetized" and two thousand years ago you were kicked out of the synagogue and in the old USSR you lost your party membership. 

Pastors must stop fearing the same old crowd who killed Jesus and Stephen and who defend the current dictatorship.  The Good Book lays it all out -- there is nothing new under the sun.
