North American governments analyzing ‘social accounts,’ ‘family values’ called extreme, and the march toward totalitarism


COGwriter

Normally, I try to avoid getting involved with second amendment issues in the USA. But the following is about more than that:

Gun applicants in NY will have to hand over social accounts

July 8, 2022

New York state is rolling out a novel strategy to screen applicants for gun permits. People seeking to carry concealed handguns will be required to hand over their social media accounts for a review of their “character and conduct.”

It’s an approach applauded by many Democrats and national gun control advocacy groups, but some experts have raised questions about how the law will be enforced and address free speech concerns.

Some of the local officials who will be tasked with reviewing the social media content also are asking whether they’ll have the resources and, in some cases, whether the law is even constitutional. …

The new requirement, which takes effect in September, was included in a law passed last week that sought to preserve some limits on firearms after the Supreme Court ruled that most people have a right to carry a handgun for personal protection. It was signed by Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, who noted shooters sometimes telegraph their intent to hurt others. …

New York’s law is rushed and vague, said Wandt, who teaches law enforcement personnel how to conduct searches on people through social media.

“I think that what we might have done as a state here in New York is, we may have confirmed their worst fears — that a slippery slope will be created that will slowly reduce their rights to carry guns and allow a bureaucracy to decide, based on unclear criteria, who can have a gun and who cannot,” Wandt said. https://apnews.com/article/technology-new-york-social-media-gun-politics-bd1fba804dfa2adb347c74bb6e52d2b0

This would not seem to be ‘constitutional.’ But the fact that a major government in the USA is doing this smacks of totalitarianism.

Most governments in the West have little idea what is proper character, yet, they want to judge it.

And this is not just happening in the USA. Elsewhere in North America, notice the following tweet related to the Prime Minister of Canada:

Yes, ‘liberal democracies’ want to collect data and determine which views are acceptable.

Notice also the following:

July 7, 2022 10:05 pm

Rep. Mayra Flores, R-Texas, told Newsmax on Thursday that The New York Times incorrectly labeled her and other Hispanic Americans as ”far-right” in a recent news article because the paper is ”anti-God, anti-family values and anti-job opportunities.”

”They do not represent our values, and that’s the reason why they want to call me a far-right Latina,” the Texas congresswoman said during an interview on ”The Chris Salcedo Show.”

Flores added that Americans shouldn’t consider The New York Times a legitimate news organization after it gave favorable coverage to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., when she was first elected — but attacked her.

”They don’t know us. They have no idea who we are … they just do not represent our community, and I feel that. Nobody really cares about The New York Times, especially in my district, where we’re worried about healthcare. We’re worried about the cost of gas, the cost of food. That’s what we’re worried about,” Flores stated.

”We’re focused on the issues that really matter to the American people, and I refuse to give them any attention,” she continued. ”They claim that they’re for immigrants. I’m an immigrant. I’m from Mexico. And yet, all they do is hate me.” https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/rep-flores-hispanics-biden-faith/2022/07/07/id/1077812/

Yes, name calling and labeling is happening more and more. And yes, many in the government and media hate any who dare to support certain biblical concepts or have different political views. These are totalitarian moves.

Notice the following question and responses:

How far has America gone down the path to totalitarianism?

April 14, 2022

Does anybody still think totalitarianism can’t happen here in America? Ask yourself how many of these steps we’ve already galloped past. …

Any belief in a higher power is threatening to the State. If there is a “higher law” that takes precedence over government orders, then personal morality is a justifiable reason for disobeying the State.

America’s founding was a product of the Enlightenment’s understanding that natural rights and liberties exist apart from and superior to the State’s edicts. These God-given rights, some of which are recorded in the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution as the Bill of Rights, cannot be abridged or usurped by the State. For individual sovereignty and personal liberty to be extinguished, then, spiritual belief in a higher power is antithetical to the goals of an overbearing government. …

Eminent English jurist William Blackstone succinctly observed: “Free men have arms; slaves do not.” Americans prepared to defend their lives are prepared to defend their freedom. That Democrats have made gun control and confiscation one of their most pressing issues says everything about the direction in which we’re heading. …

There is a reason Western governments have begun aggressively attacking free speech as “misinformation” or “disinformation”: the power to communicate ideas to the broader public threatens governments’ monopoly over “official” truths. …

In effect, the use of fiat currencies allows governments to tax their populations without ever taking a vote. By controlling the only legal medium of exchange, government inserts itself into all commerce. Free markets become controlled. …

Government power rests on citizens’ acceptance that only the State can tackle big problems. Therefore, government has a natural incentive to invent big problems for its citizens. …

Governments have used COVID-19 to mandate personal health treatments, lock down entire economies, censor dissenting points of view, and keep people monitored or under house arrest. Governments have used apocalyptic tales of climate change to push for greater state control over industry. …

Objecting to the State’s infusion of cultural Marxism into education can get one labeled a “domestic terrorist.” Objecting to schools’ increasing exposure of young children to “transgenderism” and graphic sexual content can get one labeled a “bigot.”

Even objecting to young white children being taught to feel guilty for the color of their skin is ironically cast as “racist.” …

What started with Obamacare, socialized medicine and quickly expanded with Democrat cities’ experimentation with COVID-19 digital passports, is now set to go into overdrive with the introduction of central bank digital currencies.

If government-issued cyber-monies replace the relative anonymity of physical cash, then no purchase, donation, or investment can be free from the prying eyes of the State. Combined with government control over health care and the imposition of mandatory digital IDs, the State will have created the perfect surveillance system. When all human activity is monitored and social credit scores are the norm, personal choice disappears. https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/how-far-has-america-gone-down-the-path-to-totalitarianism/

Yes, the USA has been moving towards totalitarianism in many ways.

Do not think that its Constitution will protect its citizens from that.

Although the President of the United States takes an oath to defend its Constitution, notice something Joe Biden said last year:

April 8, 2021

“No amendment, no amendment to the Constitution is absolute,” (https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-repeats-debunked-second-amendment-claim-says-no-amendment-absolute)

He made a similar statement this year. Notice:

May 26, 2022

“The Second Amendment is not absolute,” the president said. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/texas-school-shooting-biden-second-amendment-is-not-absolute/

The founders of the USA claimed that rights were given by God. To attempt to insure them, they adopted the following first ten amendments to the Constitution on ratified December 15, 1791. They form what is known as the “Bill of Rights.” Here is what they stated as viewed today at https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/bill-of-rights-transcript:

Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Amendment II

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Amendment III

No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.

Amendment IV

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Amendment V

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

Amendment VI

In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.

Amendment VII

In Suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise re-examined in any Court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law.

Amendment VIII

Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.

Amendment IX

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

Amendment X

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

In my book, Biden-Harris: Prophecies and Destruction, I warned that Joe Biden was taking totalitarian positions. Here are some statements from my book Biden-Harris: Prophecies and Destruction related to the Biden-Harris intent to push sexual immorality at the expense of morality and religious rights:

Here is what the Biden-Harris Administration’s top priority is:

The Equality Act is the best vehicle for ensuring equal rights under the law for LGBTQ+ Americans, and will guarantee that LGBTQ+ individuals are protected under existing civil rights laws. Biden will make enactment of the Equality Act during his first 100 days as President a top legislative priority. Biden will also direct his Cabinet to ensure immediate and full enforcement of the Equality Act across all federal departments and agencies. … End the misuse of broad exemptions to discriminate. Religious freedom is a fundamental American value. But states have inappropriately used broad exemptions to allow businesses, medical providers, social service agencies, state and local government officials, and others to discriminate against LGBTQ+ people. Guaranteeing transgender students have access to facilities based on their gender identity… Biden will reverse Trump’s policies misusing these broad exemptions and fight so that no one is turned away from a business or refused service by a government official just because of who they are or who they love. [The Biden Plan to Advance LGBTQ+ Equality in America and Around the World. JoeBiden.com accessed 10/16/20]

The above is a concern to many people who believe that they will be discriminated against if they hold to various religious and/or biblical beliefs on sexuality. Claiming religious freedom is “a fundamental American value” (which is clearly stated in the U.S. Constitution) while at the same time saying it must be not allowed for certain matters is wrong, insincere, and hypocritical.

The Bible, KJV translation, predicts the end of “an hypocritical nation” (Isaiah 10:5-11). …

Kamala Harris … In her 2019 book, The Truths We Hold: An American Journey, she has the following statement:

There, my earliest memories of the Bible’s teachings were of a loving God, a God who asked us “to speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves” and to defend the rights of the poor and needy.” [Harris K. The Truths We Hold: An American Journey. Penguin Press, 2019, p. 16]

Beyond that, there do not seem to be many truths Kamala Harris holds related to scripture. And for those of us who believe our religious rights are needy in the 21st century, she along with Joe Biden has essentially stated that we must expect that the rights of those with certain differing views on sexuality surpass our own. Hence, from the perspective of a religious minority, it does not seem she takes such defense seriously. …

Many have questioned Joe Biden’s and Kamala Harris’ morality. From their pro-abortion positions to their plan to globally promote the LGBTQ+ agenda while restricting religious rights of those who have differing standards, these would biblically be considered as noticeable moral flaws. …

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris both claim to be Christians, yet support restrictions on religious speech and actions, while specifically pushing for a sexual agenda that the Bible says ends in death and destruction (cf. Romans 1:18-32; Jude 7). (Thiel B. Biden-Harris: Prophecies and Destruction. Nazarene Books, 2021)

Increasing debt and pushing immoral abominations will accelerate the demise of the USA.

The USA, as well as Canada, will fall:

15 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination?
No! They were not at all ashamed;
Nor did they know how to blush.
Therefore they shall fall among those who fall;
At the time I punish them,
They shall be cast down,” says the Lord. (Jeremiah 6:15)

The USA and Canada will be punished and cast down.

The Bible also teaches:

20 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! 21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, And prudent in their own sight! (Isaiah 5:20-21)

1 Cry aloud, spare not; Lift up your voice like a trumpet; Tell My people their transgression, And the house of Jacob their sins. (Isaiah 58:1)

More and more people do not want to hear the truths related to the law of God or prophecies from His word.

Despite Joe Biden’s words about unifying the nation and having equality for all, he and Kamala Harris want the USA in their own image: Fiercely pro-abortion, radically pro-LGBTQ+, dangerously pro-alien, pushing racial discrimination, and anti-true freedom of religion.

But it is not just them. Much of the media and Big Tech have gone along with that, as has Canada’s Prime Minister, leading to what has been considered as ‘cancel culture.’

As bad as it is starting to get in the USA and Canada, it will later get much worse for the world.

The Bible warns that a totalitarian power will rise up (Revelation 13:1-18) and have the type of totalitarian control beyond what we have so far seen (cf. Revelation 13:15-18).

We are getting closer to that time.

Those who think that the USA will be in a position to stop it are believing a lie.

Do not place your confidence in any governments in this world, but in Jesus and the coming Kingdom of God.
