A few days ago, I encountered for the first time an alarming term in the MSM and blogosphere: “Christian Nationalism” The reason I find it alarming is its enormous potential for controversy and chaos. Obviously “Christian Nationalism” is a political movement intending to establish—or restore—America as a Christian Nation. But what does that term mean? In the hands of the Progressives, that term will undoubtedly be rendered “theocracy,” The purpose of this essay is to head off the “theocracy” accusation by unpacking what the term means in the context of American history and law.
You can go here for a quick, but comprehensive, review explaining exactly why the USA and each and every one of the fifty states is a common law jurisdiction. One huge clue to the cognitive meaning of the term “Christian Nation” lies implicit in the fact that, from time immemorial, both English and American courts have held that “Christianity is part of the common law.” This principle has been affirmed in numerous English and US federal and state supreme court decisions, notably including the 1824 Pennsylvania Supreme Court in Updegraff v. Commonwealth and the 1844 United States Supreme Court decision in Vidal v. Girard’s Executors .
It is important to understand immediately that the reference to Christianity in the stated principle that “Christianity is part of the common law” is not to Christian theology—that is, not to the “Father, Son, and Holy Ghost” doctrine underlying Christian worship. It is, instead, a reference to Christian morality; that is, to Judeo-Christian morality, which is to say to Biblical morality. The reference is to the Decalogue and certain stand-alone moral rifle shots such as the prime directives “Be holy!” and “Choose life!” It is not a reference to baptism, penance, the Eucharist, etc.
Because the United States and each of the fifty states is a common law jurisdiction and Christianity is part of the common law, it would seem to follow that those 51 jurisdictions are collectively a Christian nation. The United States Supreme Court affirmative precisely this principle in the 1892 United States Supreme Court decision of Church of the Holy Trinity v. US in which the court’s opinion by Justice David Brewer declared “This is a Christian Nation. ”

Moreover, in 1947, two years after the end of WWII, President Harry Truman affirmed this status by writing to Pope Pius XII that “This is a Christian nation.”
So, there we have it. The American Christian Nation is the USA as it emerged from WWII, having, for the second time in the 20th Century, pulled the planet’s chestnuts out of the fire.
But then, in the 1960s, came the Progressive attacks, skillfully targeting the foundations of that Christian Nation. Because the Progressives understand that the American Christian Nation is built on family, the family is built on marriage, and marriage is built on righteous sexuality, the Progressives have focused their attacks on these three pillars, family, marriage, and righteous sexuality.
A measure of the success of these Progressive attacks can be seen in comparing the culture of “then” with that of “now.” For example, in 1977, the supreme court of the looney-blue state of Washington affirmed a public school teacher’s termination on grounds of “immorality” because he was a homosexual. Such a result would be unimaginable today.
As for myself, having entered that Christian Nation in a Norman Rockwell painting shortly before D-day, I have already outrun my allotted span, and have witnessed the steady collapse of that nation as it fell prey to lie after lie and hoax after hoax until, today, it faces a powerful shrieking insane domestic enemy intent on the total destruction of that nation. And yet, today, we also find ourselves suddenly and inexplicably blessed by Donald Trump with a Supreme Court courageously determined to follow the law, which has opened before us a vision of a road to restoration of the nation the founders bequeathed us. Can we successfully travel that road?
Satanic Secularism The political consequences of turning to the dark side.
Thu Jul 14, 2022
“It should not surprise the person alerted to spiritual realities that in an age of atheism diverse forms of the religion of Satanism have sprung up all over the world and are gaining followers at a rapid rate.” So wrote the late Catholic priest Vincent P. Miceli in his 1981 book , The Antichrist: The Final Campaign Against the Savior , recently republished by Sophia Institute Press, with observations about secularism’s evils highly pertinent forty years later.
Miceli noted that the “decline of Christian Faith has led to the decline of man’s confidence in the powers of human reason to attain reality and truth. Man has concluded today that all truth is relative.” “In rejecting the permanent authority of truth as founded by God in reality, reason, and revelation, man set himself up as the autonomous source of truth,” Miceli added. “Yet man is to himself an insoluble dilemma” and “must admit that there remain many phenomena that his autonomous intellect cannot explain.”
Ironically, Miceli perceived, secularism and the satanic therefore went hand in hand. A “religion of modern secular humanism is powerless intellectually to stem the rush to the coves of occultism. Indeed, secular humanism is one of the primary causes of the revival of the religion of Satanism,” he wrote. As he explained:
Despairing of his reason or of revelation to make this realm intelligible to him, man has convinced himself that he can get in contact with the mysterious, with the unknown, by means of his emotions and his will. To aid himself in making this contact man has consulted the seer, the fortune teller, the prophet, the sorcerer, the medium. Hence man is no longer a philosopher nor a believer; he has become the atheistic scientist who has gone on a ghost hunt. For without the God of reason and of revelation, man is condemned to dabble at diabolism. Thus to explain the many phenomena that escape rational laws, man has recourse to table tapping, to spiritualists, witches, seance people, yoga people, the Mystical Church of Cosmic Vibrations people.
This turn to the dark side also has political consequences, Miceli warned, for
when the true God is banished from man’s society, new gods rush in to replace Him. But perhaps what has not been clearly seen today is that when man accepts new gods in his practice of the occult, he also necessarily brings about a revival of the politics of ancient paganism. A normal development of the worship of pagan gods was the creation of a divine state that rested on a theology of continuity, that is, on the denial of the Creator-creature distinction. The pagan theocratic state could take the lives of its children, or any members, as a sacrifice to the god of the state. The worshippers of Moloch ordered their sons and daughters to pass through fire as a form of sacrifice and testing. Thus God’s prohibitions to the Chosen People against occult worship were not only a means of protecting people’s lives morally from perverse practices, but also a means of restricting the power of the omnipotent political rulers who were theoretically unbounded by the restraint of limited, reasonable men and could take human life indiscriminately in the name of the god Moloch.
Belief in any version of Moloch “begets” a “man-centered, oppressive, demonic order,” Miceli wrote, namely the
totalitarian state. The modern world everywhere is succumbing to the power of such a Moloch state. For secular, rational, and occult humanism denies that there is any really transcendent, higher-than-human voice or authority that cares. Secular and occult humanists are at one in denying the true God. They are at one in divinizing man, the secularist through science, the occultist through demonic powers. Both seek power. The secularist seeks political power in the name of humanity; the occultist seeks the power of the underworld in the name of humanity…And both eventually come together to create the super-instrument of power, the modern omnicompetent state that claims absolute authority over the life and death of each citizen.
“The somber lesson to be learned is that a religion that promises progress in liberty, science, education, economic, and social welfare, without belief in a transcendent God, cannot produce a secular utopia,” Miceli rightly warned:
The starry-eyed men of the Enlightenment produced a Moloch state that ruled with a Reign of Terror and plunged Europe into nationalist wars that led to the apotheosis of the emperor-god, Napoleon. The incurable optimist-rationalists of the nineteenth century produced the secular gods and architects of totalitarian Molochs—Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Mao—the imperialistic tyrannies of Communist Russia and China. The Moloch states of race and blood were engendered by the Nazi-Fascist tyrants, Hitler and Mussolini.
“Moloch states” have also formed in Western countries, Miceli noted, through policies promoting mass abortion, which reveals a
nation that has usurped the power of God over life and death. In the name of its new secular gods, Progress and Liberty, titles that are false fronts for Rebellion and Licentiousness, many formerly Christian nations are driving their sons and daughters through the demonic fires of sacrificial murder.
As Micelli discussed, “Christ or chaos ,” as preached by both Catholics and Protestants , is no mere pious platitude. The American-Israeli political theorist Yoram Hazony has likewise documented how a free Western civilization has its basis in the “Hebrew Bible,” as received by Christians through belief in a Jewish messiah. Life without a loving God, whether expressed in satanic or secular terms, ultimately serves the “father of lies .”
Last year, a Lund University study revealed that a majority of those convicted for rape in Sweden were either migrants or from migrant backgrounds, with nearly half of the convicts being people born outside of Sweden.
Of those convicted rapitsts born outside of Sweden, 34.5 per cent came from either North Africa or the Middle East and 19.1 per cent were individuals from sub-Saharan Africa.

Swedish action film star Dolph Lundgren has decried the number of rapes taking place in his home country, claiming the country cannot protect women from being raped.
1980’s action film legend Lundgren made his comments this week on his Instagram page saying , “Sadly, my home country Sweden still cannot protect their women from rape.”
“In the past week three men were sentenced for gang-raping a handicapped girl – one assailant got 4 years the other two 2 years prison term. Another man was sentenced to 4 years for repeatedly raping his daughter,” he said and contrasted the cases with another man who was sentenced to eleven years in prison for selling drugs on the internet.
“Sweden has the highest rate of rape per capita in Europe and one of the highest in the world,” Lundgren added.
According to a 2019 report, Sweden saw a 33 per cent increase in the number of rape cases reported to authorities in a ten-year period, although some of the increases have been attributed to changes in Swedish law in 2018 when the government approved a law classifying sex without consent as rape.
In 2020, the number of reported rapes increased again but according to the National Council for Crime Prevention (Brå), the number of rapes of adult women remained largely the same as the year prior but the number of reported acts of sexual abuse toward children had increased by 16 per cent , with 3,950 rapes against children reported in 2020.
Last year, a Lund University study revealed that a majority of those convicted for rape in Sweden were either migrants or from migrant backgrounds, with nearly half of the convicts being people born outside of Sweden.
Of those convicted rapitsts born outside of Sweden, 34.5 per cent came from either North Africa or the Middle East and 19.1 per cent were individuals from sub-Saharan Africa.
“Our findings are of particular importance for crime preventive efforts. Very little, however, is known about the association between rape and different contextual factors among immigrants in Sweden,” the authors of the Lund University report wrote.

https://mexicanoccupation.blogspot.com/2022/06/joe-bidens-assault-on-homeland-security.html
REMEMBER THE MUSLIM INVASION SEPT 11 AND THE WORLD TRADE TOWERS
What could possibly go wrong? Border Report reported Monday that “a shelter for Muslim migrants opened over the weekend in Tijuana, the first of its kind in all of Mexico.” This is no small-time effort: “The Latino Muslim Foundation, based in San Diego and Tijuana, raised half a million dollars to make the facility a reality.” Meanwhile, fifty people on the terror watch list have been apprehended at the Southern border so far this year, and there is no telling how many got across without being caught. Welcome to Old Joe Biden’s America.
Joe Biden Dodges Commitment to Bring up Jamal Khashoggi with Saudi Crown Prince MANDEL NGAN/AFP via Getty 2:54
President Joe Biden on Thursday shied away from a commitment to bring up the murder of writer Jamal Khashoggi with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman during his trip to Saudi Arabia.
A reporter asked Biden during a press conference in Israel with Prime Minister Yair Lapid if he would address Khashoggi’s murder with the crown prince.
“My views on Khashoggi have been absolutely positively clear, and I have never been quiet about talking about human rights,” Biden replied, dodging an answer to the question.
He explained the reason he planned to visit Saudi Arabia was to promote U.S. interests and reassert American influence in the Middle East.
When asked again if he would bring up Khashoggi, Biden replied with a similar dodge.
“I always bring up human rights. I always bring up human rights,” he asserted. “But my position on Khashoggi has been so clear, if anyone doesn’t understand it in Saudi Arabia or anywhere else, then they haven’t been around for a while.”

Biden has largely abandoned his promises during the 2020 presidential campaign to punish the Saudis for their involvement in Khashoggi’s murder.
“Khashoggi was, in fact, murdered and dismembered, and I believe on the order of the crown prince,” Biden said during a debate in November 2019.
He vowed he would not sell more weapons to the Saudis and “make them pay the price and make them, in fact, the pariah that they are.”
“There’s very little social redeeming value of the — in the present government in Saudi Arabia,” he concluded.
In 2020, Biden also vowed in a campaign statement to hold the Saudis accountable.
He wrote :
Jamal Khashoggi and his loved ones deserve accountability. Under a Biden-Harris administration, we will reassess our relationship with the Kingdom, end U.S. support for Saudi Arabia’s war in Yemen, and make sure America does not check its values at the door to sell arms or buy oil.
But with Biden as president, the United States conducted a $650 million weapons deal with Saudi Arabia in 2021, and he is now traveling to meet with them to discuss American interests in the region. His actions indicate there continues to be a significant social redeeming value of the present government.
The CIA assessed that Salman was responsible for the beheading of Khashoggi in a declassified intelligence report published in February 2021.
The Saudis appear to remain sensitive to the campaign to make them a pariah and hold them accountable for the death of Khashoggi.
Salman told the Atlantic magazine that he felt the report violated his human right of being treated as innocent until proven guilty.
“I feel, myself, that human rights law wasn’t applied to me,” he said.

Only a minority of black people are anti-Semites, but those that are, are not lone wolves. They are not inventing the wheel. Rather, they are steeped in a significant cultural trend, a trend that persons of conscience will name, confront, analyze, and denounce.

Biden's new press secretary has a problem with Jews By Edward Davis
Karine Jean-Pierre makes history this week as the first woman "of color" and the first open lesbian to become the official spokesperson for the leader of the free world.
Unfortunately, another characteristic that sets her apart from previous White House press secretaries is her malicious radical activism, which reached its low point when she made fictitious allegations against a moderate, bipartisan pro-Israel organization.

Meet the Cori Bush Activist Who Wants
To Burn Jews Alive
Neveen Ayesh wants to 'set Israel on fire'
Credit: Canary Mission Adam Kredo • July 12, 2022 3:00 pmRep. Cori Bush (D., Mo.) spent years cultivating a relationship with a pro-Palestinian activist who once tweeted that she wants to "set Israel on fire with my own hands & watch it burn to ashes along with every Israeli in it."
Bush, a member of the far-left "Squad" of lawmakers known for their anti-Israel attitudes, has been working alongside anti-Israel activist Neveen Ayesh since at least 2017, according to information published by Canary Mission, a watchdog group that tracks anti-Israel and anti-Semitic activists online. While Bush has publicly condemned attacks on the Jewish community, her relationship with Ayesh and other anti-Israel activists is drawing accusations that these statements are empty rhetoric.
Ayesh, who has been active in several leading anti-Israel groups, including American Muslims for Palestine, organized a 2020 fundraiser for Bush that featured Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.), one of Congress's most vocal opponents of the Jewish state, and Linda Sarsour, an activist who has repeatedly used anti-Semitic rhetoric. An invitation for the fundraiser, titled "Muslims for Cori," is accessible on the ActBlue website, an online donation portal used by Democrats.
The relationship between Ayesh and Bush is raising fresh questions about the congresswoman's support for anti-Israel causes and willingness to partner with individuals who have expressed hatred toward Jewish people.
"Neveen Ayesh has shown support for terror organizations, wants to kill every Israeli, and called being Jewish a crime worthy of the rope," a Canary Mission spokesman told the Washington Free Beacon . "Her anti-Semitism is publicly known information. It was even discussed on the floor of the Missouri House of Representatives. However, Cori Bush had no problem benefiting from a fundraiser organized by Ayesh and enjoys a long-standing relationship with her."
Bush, the watchdog group said, must provide her constituents with "an explanation." A Bush spokesman did not respond to a Free Beacon request for comment on the 2020 fundraiser and the congresswoman's relationship with Ayesh. Bush and Ayesh were pictured together as recently as 2020 and as early as 2017 during a trip to the Middle East.
Ayesh in February defended Hamas, comparing the group's armed resistance against Israel to Ukraine's war against "their oppressors" in Russia. People "somehow have an issue with Palestinians doing the same," she tweeted.
Ayesh has lambasted Israel on social media and wished death upon its citizens, posts that were made before she formed an alliance with Bush. Many of the most controversial tweets have since been deleted but remain archived online, with original screenshots, by Canary Mission.
"I want to set Israel on fire with my own hands & watch it burn to ashes along with every Israeli in it," Ayesh tweeted in February 2014.
"Once again I want to personally set Israel & all the Israelis in it on fire & watch them burn to ashes. Burn you bastards #IHateYou," she wrote one month later.
"I hope I will be alive to witness the death of Israel," another March 2014 tweet says.
"I tried befriending a Jew once. Worst idea ever," she stated in September 2013.
In August 2011, Ayesh tweeted that "being a Jew" is a crime "worthy of the rope" and several days later wrote, "Jews #WorstThingInTheWorld."
Ayesh also has expressed a willingness to join Hamas, the U.S.-designated terror group that has killed Americans and Israelis.
"I should join al-Qassam," Ayesh tweeted in August 2014 alongside a photo of armed Hamas militants. "Be the first female to join their group lololol #IdLoveToThough."
Ayesh also has compared Israel to the Nazis, writing in February 2017 that it looks like Israeli Jews "miss nazism considering they nostalgically replicate&apply its values&model unless theres something I dont get w/ Zionism."
The 2020 fundraiser with Bush was held just months after members of the Missouri State House of Representatives publicly chastised Ayesh following her testimony in favor of a bill to economically boycott Israel. Ayesh supported the bill and said the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which she supports, is peaceful. Lawmakers and experts have condemned the BDS movement and other anti-Israel campaigns as fueling anti-Jewish hatred, which has reached record levels in America, particularly on college campuses, where BDS is popular.
Ayesh said during the hearing that she studied in the United States "with Jewish people, befriend[ed] them, and some of them are the closest people to me today"—though her tweets paint a different picture.
Following her testimony in favor of the anti-Israel legislation, lawmakers read Ayesh's anti-Semitic tweets publicly and condemned her rhetoric.
