How far has America gone down the path to totalitarianism?<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

April 14, 2022<\/p>\n

Does anybody still think totalitarianism can\u2019t happen here in America? Ask yourself how many of these steps we\u2019ve already galloped past. …<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Any belief in a higher power is threatening to the State. If there is a \u201chigher law\u201d that takes precedence over government orders, then personal morality is a justifiable reason for disobeying the State.<\/p>\n

America\u2019s founding was a product of the Enlightenment\u2019s understanding that natural rights and liberties exist apart from and superior to the State\u2019s 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. …<\/p>\n

Eminent English jurist William Blackstone succinctly observed: \u201cFree men have arms; slaves do not.\u201d\u00a0Americans prepared to defend their lives are prepared to defend their freedom. That Democrats have made\u00a0gun control and confiscation<\/a>\u00a0one of their most pressing issues says everything about the\u00a0direction in which we\u2019re heading<\/a>. …<\/p>\n

There is a reason Western governments have begun aggressively\u00a0attacking free speech<\/a>\u00a0as \u201cmisinformation\u201d or \u201cdisinformation\u201d: the power to communicate ideas to the broader public\u00a0threatens governments\u2019 monopoly<\/a> over \u201cofficial\u201d truths. …<\/p>\n

In effect, the use of\u00a0fiat currencies<\/a>\u00a0allows governments to\u00a0tax their populations<\/a> without ever taking a vote. By controlling the only legal medium of exchange, government inserts itself into all commerce. Free markets become controlled. …<\/p>\n

Government power rests on citizens\u2019 acceptance that only the State can tackle big problems. Therefore, government has a natural incentive to invent big problems for its citizens. …<\/p>\n

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. …<\/p>\n

Objecting to the State\u2019s infusion of cultural Marxism into education can get one labeled a \u201cdomestic terrorist<\/a>.\u201d\u00a0Objecting to schools\u2019 increasing exposure of young children to \u201ctransgenderism\u201d and\u00a0graphic sexual content<\/a>\u00a0can get one labeled a \u201cbigot.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even objecting to young white children being taught to feel guilty for the color of their skin is ironically cast as \u201cracist.\u201d …<\/p>\n

What started with\u00a0Obamacare<\/a>,\u00a0socialized medicine and quickly expanded with Democrat cities\u2019 experimentation with COVID-19\u00a0digital passports<\/a>,\u00a0is now set to go into overdrive with the introduction of\u00a0central bank digital currencies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If\u00a0government-issued cyber-monies<\/a> replace the relative anonymity of physical cash, then no purchase, donation, or investment can be free from the prying eyes of the State.\u00a0Combined with government control over health care and the imposition of mandatory digital IDs, the State will have created the perfect surveillance system.\u00a0When 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\/<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes, the USA has been moving towards totalitarianism in many ways.<\/p>\n

Do not think that its Constitution will protect its citizens from that.<\/p>\n

Although the President of the United States takes an oath to defend its Constitution, notice something Joe Biden said last year:<\/p>\n

April 8, 2021<\/p>\n

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

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<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

Amendment I<\/h3>\n

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. <\/a><\/p>\n

Amendment II<\/h3>\n

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. <\/a><\/p>\n

Amendment III<\/h3>\n

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. <\/a><\/p>\n

Amendment IV<\/h3>\n

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. <\/a><\/p>\n

Amendment V<\/h3>\n

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. <\/a><\/p>\n

Amendment VI<\/h3>\n

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. <\/a><\/p>\n

Amendment VII<\/h3>\n

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. <\/a><\/p>\n

Amendment VIII<\/h3>\n

Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted. <\/a><\/p>\n

Amendment IX<\/h3>\n

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people. <\/a><\/p>\n

Amendment X<\/h3>\n

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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In my book, Biden-Harris: Prophecies and Destruction<\/a>, I warned that Joe Biden was taking totalitarian positions.<\/p>\n

But it is not just him. Much of the media and Big Tech have gone along with that, leading to what has been considered as ‘cancel culture.’<\/p>\n

As bad as it is starting to get in the USA, it will later get much worse for the world.<\/p>\n

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).<\/p>\n

We are getting closer to that time.<\/p>\n

Those who think that the USA will be in a position to stop it are believing a lie.<\/p>\n

Do not place your confidence in any governments in this world, but in Jesus and the coming Kingdom of God<\/a>.<\/p>\n
