DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM: AMERICA IS ABOUT TO BE TAKEN INTO CAPTIVITY

Satan fell from heaven due to pride, a desire to be equal to God, which led him and other angels to rebel against God. The story is told in the Bible, particularly in Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28, which describe him as a beautiful and powerful angel who became arrogant. As a result, God cast him and his followers out of heaven. Jesus referenced this fall, saying, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven" (Luke 10:18).  

Satan didn't fall alone.

Pride and ambition, unchallenged,.leads to captivity and destruction.

EBSCO Research instructs, "The "big lie" is a concept suggesting that a falsehood can gain acceptance if it is repeated frequently and is grand enough that individuals cannot fathom its untruth. This idea has historical roots, notably attributed to Adolf Hitler’s writings in his 1925 manifesto, *Mein Kampf*, where he argued that larger lies are more believable than smaller ones. The Nazis effectively utilized this concept to scapegoat the Jewish population, ultimately justifying horrific acts during the Holocaust."

The Cold War historian Zachary Jonathan Jacobson describes its use:

"Adolf Hitler first defined the Big Lie as a deviant tool wielded by Viennese Jews to discredit the Germans' deportment in World War I. Yet, in tragically ironic fashion, it was Hitler and his Nazi regime that actually employed the mendacious strategy. In an effort to rewrite history and blame European Jews for Germany's defeat in World War I, Hitler and his propaganda minister accused them of profiting from the war, consorting with foreign powers and "war shirking" (avoiding conscription). Jews, Hitler contended, were the weak underbelly of the Weimer state that exposed the loyal and true German population to catastrophic collapse. To sell this narrative, Joseph Goebbels insisted "all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands."

In short, Nazi fascism hinged on creating one streamlined, overarching lie ... the Nazis built an ideology on a fiction, the notion that Germany's defeat in World War I could be avenged (and reversed) by purging the German population of those purportedly responsible: the Jews."

I awakened this morning with a divine inspiration. It gives me both peace and sorrow. Satan has his eyes on the Republic in this generation. His tool is the rise of Democrat Socialists to take over the Republic through a rise to power first through Urban America and then, the Republic. Hiding behind the term of "affordability" to claim the souls of young Americans-Democrat, Republican, Independent, Unaffiliated, Uninterested-throughout the Land. We are doomed for destruction and captivity. Not by a foreign power but a domestic one. Democrat Socialists seek the throes of power by taking over the Capitol City-the Capitol is the seat of the legislative branch of the U.S. government and is seen as a symbol of national power and authority. Revolutionaries seek the Capitol to seize power, to gain a platform to voice grievances and potentially force change. The Capitol symbolizes the U.S. government, and confronting it is a way to directly challenge the system that revolutionaries oppose, seeking media attention and public support for their cause. Historically, political change has occurred through influencing or protesting at the Capitol, which is the seat of Congress, where laws are made. 

Dr. Lee Edwards, a leading historian of American conservatism and the author or editor of 25 books, in "Beware the Siren Song of Socialism" writes, "For more than a century, socialism has failed everywhere it has been tried, from the Soviet Union to Venezuela. Yet zealous progressives are trying to convince Americans, especially young Americans, that “democratic socialism” is the solution to socio-economic problems. They are banking on millennial ignorance of socialism’s repeated failures and free enterprise’s proven ability to eliminate poverty and produce prosperity. Americans have a choice—the tight grip of socialism under which individual freedom and responsibility are set aside or the freedom of democratic capitalism under which individual rights, especially the right to choose, are assured. The choice is clear: The road to liberty rather than serfdom has enabled America to become the freest and most prosperous nation in human history." Dr. Edwards continues, "Modern society, with its weakened community and personal alienation, has become a fertile ground for democratic socialism." We were once neighbors but now, community. The difference is the individual and the tyrant.

In George Washington's Farewell Address, he orated, "For this you have every inducement of sympathy and interest. Citizens, by birth or choice, of a common country, that country has a right to concentrate your affections. The name of American, which belongs to you in your national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of patriotism more than any appellation derived from local discriminations. With slight shades of difference, you have the same religion, manners, habits, and political principles. You have in a common cause fought and triumphed."

New York City is a US metropolitan area, the largest metropolitan area in the United States by both population and urban area. New York is a global center of finance and commerce, culture, technology, entertainment and media, academics and scientific output, the arts and fashion, and, as home to the headquarters of the United Nations, international diplomacy. Seattle s the 18th-most populous city in the United States. Seattle is a symbol of its connection to nature, innovation, and cultural diversity. The city is also a symbol of resilience. The Democrat Socialists elected Zohran Mamdani as Mayor of New York City and Katie Wilson in Seattle. Mamdani is a Democrat Party member and Democrat Socialist member and Wilson is a Democrat Party member. who is a self-described socialist. Mamdani is not the first Democrat Socialist Mayor of New York City. Former NYC Mayor David Dinkins served one-term in 1990 and was a Democrat Party member and a Democrat Socialist member. John C. Chase was the first Socialist Mayor in 1898 in Haverhill, Massachusetts. He was a member of the Social Democratic Party, then Socialist Party of America. The Social Democracy of America proved to be a short lived and disparate group of Marxists and trade unionists. The organization sought to achieve socialism through political organization and use of the electoral process, starting with concentration on a single state.The Socialists have only changed their interest from state to Republic.

"When a tyrant tells you who he is, believe it." Thank you Maya Angelou. 

DC Fox News reports: "A D.C. councilmember with ties to the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) has announced a bid for mayor of the nation's capital.

Councilmember Janeese Lewis George is aiming to succeed long-serving Mayor Muriel Bowser, who is not pursuing re-election.

The progressive Democrat said in a statement that "too many residents still feel squeezed financially, from unaffordable housing to childcare, and feel unsafe in their neighborhoods. Residents face uneven access to opportunity and a city government that on its best days feels unresponsive, and on its worst, is leaving residents out in the cold all because leaders have chosen to prioritize the needs of the well-connected over us."

She continues, ""Like many of you, I am shocked and outraged that President Trump has announced he is weaponizing the Home Rule Act by deploying the National Guard and exercising authority over the Metropolitan Police Department. This is a direct attack on the 700,000 residents of DC and we will not stand for it.""

Socialist parties and movements have taken power in various countries throughout history, with results ranging from the implementation of democratic social reforms to the establishment of authoritarian communist regimes. There is no single "when socialists take over" scenario, as the approach and outcomes vary widely based on the specific ideology and historical context. Matthew Xiao of the Cornell Review in "Yes, Real Socialism Has Been Tried—And It Has Failed Every Time" writes, ""Over the past 100 years or so, socialist experiments around the world unleashed a vast tide of tyranny, starvation, and mass murder on a scale never seen before in human history. Socialism was implemented in the Soviet Union, East Germany, Bulgaria, Hungary, Maoist China, Chavez-Maduro’s Venezuela, and other places. In every one of these places, it has failed. As American writer Joshua Muravchik observes in his 2019 Wall Street Journal article on socialism, “It’s hard to think of another idea that has been tried and failed as many times in as many ways or at a steeper price in human suffering.” Xiao continues, "German philosopher G.W. F. Hegel famously said, “We learn from history that we do not learn from history.” The enduring appeal of socialism attests to Hegel’s insight. However, the underlying problem is not that we are unable or unwilling to learn from history. Rather, we have so often found ourselves repeating the mistakes of previous generations because we have taken the wrong lessons from those mistakes. The conclusion we should draw from our socialist experiments is not that we need a different jockey to achieve real socialism, but that real socialism has been the problem all along. Unless we truly take this lesson to heart, it won’t be long before we find ourselves stuck in a living hell once again. "

A mayor can promote affordability through fiscally conservative policies like reducing taxes and fees, while also using a "pro-housing" approach by streamlining zoning and permitting to increase housing supply. Key actions include legalizing more types of housing like accessory dwelling units (ADUs), reducing parking requirements, and streamlining the development approval process. Additionally, a mayor can partner with private developers and utilize local incentives, such as property tax exemptions, to encourage the construction of affordable housing. Ron Paul for the Mises Institute in "The Real Affordability Agenda" writes, "While Democrats talk about “affordability,” most are unwilling to support the free-market policies that produce abundance and affordability. Instead, they want more government interventions in the marketplace — even though history shows government interventions cause price increases and shortages. For example, New York City Mayor-elect Mamdani thinks the way to address housing costs in New York City is through new price controls on rent. He does not seem to understand that a reason housing costs are so high in New York City is because of the city’s existing rent control law." It is important to note that the Mayor has limited power compared to a state governor, as Congress retains ultimate authority over the District's laws and budget. Literally, it's not the Mayor, it's the Congress.

Then what do the Democrat Socialists want?

"Capitalism is a system designed by the owning class to exploit the rest of us for their own profit. We must replace it with democratic socialism, a system where ordinary people have a real voice in our workplaces, neighborhoods, and society."

Donald Trump was elected President to "turn the tables over" regarding illegal migration, the economy and restoration of the Republic. He was also called and elected to "knock over the false alters" of Washington, DC. "Knocking over false altars" is a phrase, primarily used in a biblical or spiritual context, that refers to the act of actively dismantling symbols or practices of idolatry in one's life or community. It is rooted in biblical narratives where figures like Gideon and King Josiah were commanded to physically destroy pagan places of worship. First Baptist Church of Hamburg in "A Brief Theology of Tearing Down Idols" writes, "Israel was given clear commands from the Lord: When they entered into the land, they were to destroy the idols that were there. Deut. 7:5 says, “But thus you shall do to them: you shall tear down their altars, and smash their pillars, and hew down their Asherim, and burn their graven images with fire.” In other words, they were to vigorously destroy them. They were not to become comfortable with the idols in the land - to do so would mean that they themselves would be led into idolatry (Deut. 7:25). In fact, this is exactly what happened in Israel’s history when they did not obey this command of the Lord (Psalm 106:34-39, Judges 8:27, etc.)!" Marxism, socialism, and communism is idolatry and the icons and principles must be torn down as commanded by God!

Idolatry is the worship of something other than God, often by placing excessive devotion or reverence on a person, thing, or idea. This can involve the worship of physical idols, but more commonly includes modern-day idols like wealth, power, fame, possessions, or even one's own career, relationships, or achievements, which are given a higher priority than God. 

• Worship of created vs. creator: Idolatry is fundamentally the worship of something created instead of the Creator. 
• Elevating created things: It involves giving more importance or "more credence to something created than the Creator". 
• Shifting focus: It occurs when the pursuit or focus shifts from the true God to a created thing that promises to fulfill desires, such as wealth, fame, or achievements. 
• A sin: In a religious context, idolatry is often considered the root of all sin because it involves placing ultimate value on something other than God. 

Bruce Ashford of Christianity for the Common Good recommended "10 Books That Reveal the Idolatrous Nature of Marxism".

Karl Marx viewed life and liberty as deeply intertwined with freedom from the alienation caused by private property, which he saw as an oppressive force that turns individuals into objects and restricts their true potential. He believed that the abolition of private property—specifically the "means of production"—was necessary to achieve true freedom, as the current system is based on competition and the exploitation of labor. Marx on God said, "'Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the sentiment of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people. 'and  'The foundation of religious criticism is: Man makes religion, religion does not make man." Marx argued against the bourgeois family, which he saw as a product of private property and capital, reducing family relations to "a mere money relation". He famously stated that in its current form, the family is a tool of the ruling class, and he advocated for its abolition, with children to be educated communally rather than by their parents. Marx said, “The bourgeoisie has torn away from the family its sentimental veil, and has reduced the family relation into a mere money relation. Marx on private property said, “Private property has made us so stupid and one-sided that an object is only ours when we have it – when it exists for us as capital, or when it is directly possessed, eaten, drunk, worn, inhabited, etc., – in short, when it is used by us. Although private property itself again conceives all these direct realizations of possession only as means of life, and the life which they serve as means is the life of private property – labour and conversion into capital."

Rehoboam rose to power after his father Solomon's death, when the people of Israel gathered at Shechem to make him king. However, his reign immediately became contentious as the people demanded he lighten the heavy taxes and forced labor his father had imposed. Ignoring the advice of his older counselors to be lenient, Rehoboam chose to follow the counsel of his young advisors, vowing to increase the people's burdens. This harsh response led the ten northern tribes to revolt and secede, leaving Rehoboam with only the southern kingdom of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin. 

"For whereas my father put a heavy yoke upon you, I will put more to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions. (2 Chronicles 10:11)

The Democrat Socialists promise "affordability" but in lieu of the whip of tall grass of Adam Smith and capitalism, they offer the scourge or knotted whip of Marx. Let the chastisement begin, send us more of your money.  

A generational failure has occurred. We have falsely influenced the generations that if man can't be your provision, then government will. As well, every generation does better than the last. Common myths about capitalism include that it inherently leads to widespread poverty, is inherently unstable, or is fueled purely by greed. Conversely, some argue that capitalism can create new wealth and jobs, as seen with innovations from companies like Apple, and that it is not inherently greedy but based on voluntary exchange. Critiques often counter that capitalism concentrates wealth and power, especially in the hands of large corporations, and that the "greed" myth is misleading when the system is shaped by monopolistic practices that harm consumers and workers. Not every generation gets wealthier in terms of median net worth at the same age, and a significant wealth gap exists between generations, with older generations currently holding the majority of the wealth. However, each generation, when young, has historically been poorer than their predecessors at the same age. Some data shows that while the Baby Boomer generation has accumulated the most wealth historically, newer data suggests that Millennials and Gen Z are amassing wealth at a faster rate than previous generations at their age. Investopedia presents in "Which Generation Is the Wealthiest in U.S History, and Why?" that: "Baby Boomers (those born between 1946-1964, or aged 61-79 in 2025) stand out as the wealthiest generation in history. Born into the post-WWII expansion, they bought homes when prices were low, earned comfortable real wages, and piled into employer-sponsored retirement plans just as the stock market began its long bull run, benefitting from decades of rising asset prices." Prosperity is not just about material wealth but encompasses overall well-being, success, and spiritual health. GotQuestions,org in "" says: "Romans 8:17–18 promises this: “Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.” Being co-heirs with Christ means that forever we will enjoy everything God owns. No earthly prosperity can compare with that." While struggle itself isn't a guaranteed path to wealth, overcoming financial hardship can build essential resilience, discipline, and practical skills that are often lacking in those who have never faced scarcity. Individuals who have experienced scarcity often develop rigorous habits like detailed budgeting and "paying yourself first" out of necessity. This forced discipline encourages more thoughtful spending decisions and prioritizes savings and investments over immediate gratification. Hardship can prompt a necessary shift from a "scarcity" or "consumer" mindset to an "abundance" or "investor" mindset. This involves recognizing the importance of making money work for you through smart, intentional choices, rather than constantly working harder just to keep up with expenses. 

Founding Father Benjamin Franklin said, "If you know how to spend less than you get, you have the philosopher's stone." Teaching our children the myths of wealth creation, that there is prosperity apart from God, that the chains of Marx will lead to great prosperity has prepared are inheritance to sell themselves into slavery. Sacrificing freedom and liberty for the "promises" of wealth by government assurances. A slave is a person who is owned by another individual and is forced to serve as property, a common example being the practice of chattel slavery, which was historically widespread in the Americas. Slavery involves forced servitude, deprivation of liberty, and is often maintained through coercion and violence. While illegal today, modern slavery persists and includes forms like forced labor, debt bondage, and human trafficking. Former President Herbert Hoover said, "As government expands, liberty contracts." To be made a slave in your own Land, woe is me. All because "we want gods like the others".

"And that which cometh into your mind shall not be at all, that ye say, We will be as the heathen, as the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone. (Ezekiel 20:32)"

Kristen Clark of Girl Defined in "When God Gives Someone Else What You Desperately Want" wrote, "Slowly but surely, I learned to surrender my will to His, and to trust that His ways were better than mine."

The phrase "we want gods like the others" is a biblical reference to the Israelites' desire to abandon their covenant with God and worship other gods, which is described in the Old Testament. It signifies a longing for what other nations worshiped, but the Bible frames this as a rejection of the one true God and a dangerous turn towards idols. This desire can be seen as a rejection of the one true God and an embrace of idols, which the Bible warns against as a source of destruction and a rejection of a more transformative and life-giving way. 

Marxism Is Slavery. Say It Loud! Say It Often. Wisconsin Senator Joseph McCarthy, "Enemies Within" Speech, February 1950, said, "The great difference between our western Christian world and the atheistic Communist world is not political, gentlemen, it is moral.” Ideas are eternal and sympathies to mortals that pervert them are as well.  How often have we sent our most brilliant and moral youth off to the slaughterhouses of educational butcheries to see then become indoctrinated professors of class struggle, no matter the degree? Once vibrant critical thinkers, our lambs are extorted for a few University grades and the promises of eternal attractiveness in the world's workplaces. A Nation taken captivity by the sons and daughters of Marx-the Democrat Socialists. 

Marxism. socialism and communism are difficult to get out of. Socialism only requires a vote to exchange liberty and freedom for government assurances. Marxism and communism only requires a revolution-draw blood until the gun is pointed at you. It is difficult to leave Marxism or socialism because of factors like the complex nature of the theories, powerful societal norms that favor capitalism, and the challenges of dissent within a Marxist framework. The dense language of original texts can make them hard to understand, while societal "hegemony" can make alternative ideas seem unviable. Additionally, Marxism's structure can discourage dissent by framing all challenges as remnants of an oppressive past that should have disappeared in a communist society. It can be difficult to abandon ideologies like Marxism, socialism, or communism due to factors like lifelong belief, social and intellectual identity, and emotional investment in the ideas. These ideologies can provide a framework for understanding the world, and leaving them can be challenging because it requires re-evaluating a person's worldview and potentially their social circles, leading to an identity crisis or fear of a negative alternative. Voluntary slavery, in theory, is the condition of slavery entered into at a point of voluntary consent. The system of Marxism leads to a new form of oppression and control by the state or ruling class. The loss of self-control for government control. Exchanging freedom and liberty for "affordability".

Captivity does not have to be bodily arrest in a foreign land. The word "captivity" comes from the Latin captīvitās, meaning "the state of being a prisoner," which is derived from the Latin captīvus ("captive") and capere ("to take or seize"). This root is also the origin of the word "capture" and is connected to the Proto-Indo-European root **kap-*, which means "to grasp". The word entered English around the 14th century. 

Don't read this in doubt. This doesn't have to be. Trump and Congress are the keys:

• Conquer and divide. Relocate government agencies to other states. This will disperse populations that are centralized in the District under the Democrat Socialists.
• Repeal Home Rule. Pass the Bowser Act and eliminate the Mayor and DC Council
• Complete a Census in 2026. Count citizens only. A "citizen-only census" refers to a proposal to count only U.S. citizens for the purpose of determining congressional representation, which would exclude non-citizens like undocumented immigrants. Such a census is currently unconstitutional, as Article I of the U.S. Constitution mandates an "actual enumeration" of "all persons" in each state for reapportionment, a standard that has been upheld through the 14th Amendment's ratification. While recent legislative efforts have been made to mandate a citizenship question for apportionment purposes, these have been blocked by courts in the past. 

DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM: AMERICA IS ABOUT TO BE TAKEN INTO CAPTIVITY!

The life of a prophet is marked by a mission from God to deliver messages, which involves spiritual discipline, courage, and often great personal sacrifice, such as rejection or persecution. Prophets act as intermediaries, speaking God's word rather than their own opinions, calling people to repentance, and sometimes foretelling future events. This life demands a balance of faith, wisdom, ethical integrity, and a constant awareness of God's presence. A "prophet" is a person who speaks on behalf of a deity or is divinely inspired to reveal the will of a God It ain't easy but I love doing it.
