Top story of 2018

The Daily Jot's Top Story of 2018
 
Monday, December 31, 2018
Ezekiel 8:7-9 describes how the Lord directed the prophet Ezekiel to look beyond the walls of the Temple to see the truth: "and he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall. Then said he unto me, Son of Man, dig now in the wall: and when I had dug in the wall, behold a door. And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here." In Mark 3:23-24, Jesus said, "How can Satan drive out Satan? If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand." These two sets of scripture are indicative of the two top stories of 2018, which is really one story with two related parts. 
 
The mainstream news media, a minion of Marxist-inspired globalist politicians and their billionaire corporate sponsors, employs a craft of using a small ingredient they call truth mixed with propaganda to feed the world a diet of brainwashing misinformation. Their target in America is to foment a coup of a duly elected president and to overthrow a Constitutional Republic. Fake news has become a staple in reporting. The lines are so blurred between news-casting and editorializing that Americans, and those in other countries, must put on their helmets of discernment and dig behind the walls and the doors to find the truth. They must suspend their disbelief when they see all the wicked abominations being done.
 
A growing minority of radical leftists, including politicians, the media, the entertainment industry, educators, and unwitting social zombies, have used their platforms to establish a hostile environment for anyone who disagrees with their warped sense of truth and morality. Anytime anyone disagrees with them, they brand them with the hot iron of racist, xenophobe, misogynist, Islamophobe, homophobe, Nazi, bigot, deplorable, uneducated, sexist, birthers, truthers, and more. On any issue where there is disagreement, there is a social label with which these people can sear their fellow mankind. While calling others closed-minded, they are the most closed-minded. In the name of free speech, they abhor free speech, Their political intolerance and ideological bigotry is unmatched. A nation divided against itself cannot stand.
 
These are not just two stories that tell the tale of 2018. They are the sum of the parts, the thousands of cuts, against those who hold the hope of righteousness in their hearts. This will no doubt continue until it is stopped. They know no limits until they destroy even the things that benefit them. They are governed by a thoroughly evil spirit. As we enter 2019, know that you are a Romans 13:12 people: "The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light." Know that you are a 1 Peter 2:9 people: "...a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own; that you should show forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light." Stand in the gap for truth and righteousness. Fight the good fight. Be encouraged for the Lord is with you.
Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!
Bill Wilson

Victims of Communism

Fewer Americans are now aware of the crimes of communist regimes and fewer Americans are skeptical of Marxist ideas than at any time since the Berlin Wall fell in 1989. From Hong Kong to Venezuela, dictators suppress freedom and justify their actions by appealing to the godfather of modern tyranny—Karl Marx. It has never been more important, nor more urgent, to lay bare the flawed ideology of Marxism and the crimes of those communist regimes that, in the name of equality, have engendered a new form of slavery in the modern world.

There are at least three reasons for our current state of affairs. First, there was never a moral reckoning for crimes committed in the name of communism in the USSR and other communist states. There should have been dozens of Nurembergs for communist regimes. Sadly, there has not been even one.

There is a double standard for the crimes committed by Nazis and those perpetrated by the Soviets, Mao, Pol Pot, and others. And although communist regimes began collapsing in Europe in 1989, they live on in Asia and Latin America, but with too few critics. Well-meaning Americans accepted the deceitful promises of self-reform made by the communist parties in Cuba and China and they seem to only pay attention to the North Korean regime’s sinister nature when it threatens to strike at America. The consequences of our historical amnesia and our indifference to tyranny today are dire, and may be more far-reaching than we can yet imagine.

Second, our country’s educational institutions have failed to teach the most important lessons of the twentieth century to a new generation of Americans. As our staff work with high school teachers and college students in all 50 states, it is clear that we are filling a crucial gap in the proper education of young Americans.

Third, geopolitical actors from Beijing and Pyongyang to Havana and Caracas desperately want to undermine the West’s ability to condemn their tyrannies and prevent us from emboldening their people’s desire for freedom. They audaciously present single party dictatorship and high-tech totalitarianism as acceptable twenty-first century alternatives to democracy. This tactic is working. From the United Nations at Turtle Bay to the European Union headquarters in Brussels, and even at times the White House, too many institutions have accepted their claims as valid. All told, we are not in an easy position as lovers of freedom in the early decades of the twenty-first century. And yet, we know that the best hope for keeping our liberties at home in the United States of America is to understand how fragile our way of life is and how different it could be if we accepted the precepts of Marxist collectivism. Ideas have consequences. The historical record is clear: communism kills.

At least 20 percent of the world’s population today lives under the oppression of a single-party communist dictatorship. The witness accounts and the voices of dissidents who fight for freedom in those countries help counter the propaganda that is so successfully misleading American politicians, media, and academics. These dissidents need America to remain the home of the free where speech is protected in all arenas of society and debate is not confounded by those who would make the citizen subservient to the government instead of governments subservient to the citizen.

Both abroad and at home, it is the truth that makes—and will keep—us free. Thank you for courageously and generously supporting the work of Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation.

Together we are honoring the millions of victims, supporting the heroic dissidents of our day, and educating a new generation of Americans so that they will see through the false hope of Marxism and defend our precious experiment in human liberty.

Sincerely,

AUSTRIA: instead of the migrants being targeted, it's the nasty human traffickers being targeted

That makes sense, because extranational smuggling cartels are the ugly off-camera player in these mass migrations that have flooded Europe (and the U.S.) making immense money off human misery as the news cameras have focused on hard-luck stories of individual migrants seeking to enter the West illegally and turned the cameras against anyone in the Western world who has opposed the practice. What's more, they've profited off the incentives to migrate illegally, as supposedly moral leaders, such as Pope Francis, have openly advocated for the individuals who enriched the smugglers, while ignoring the effects of illegal migration, such as imported violent crime, and cartels that grow richer and richer and richer, based on smuggling 'earnings.'

Fact is, smuggling rackets have grown immensely rich off lax asylum policies in Western countries, making big dollars off the left's judges and bureaucrats' supposed compassion in allowing all comers in.

The last freedom

“We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms — to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.” —Viktor Frankl (1905-1997) author of "Man's Search for Meaning"

PROGRESSIVES AIM TO TAKE AWAY RELIGIOUS FREE SPEECH



Progressives aim to take away religious free speech
NOTEWhen writing about God and Jesus, The Daily Jot means YHVH as God and Yeshua Ha Mashiach as Jesus--the actual original names and the true nature and character of them.
  
Thursday, December 13, 2018
The government is prohibited by the First Amendment to interfere with the right to free speech and religious freedom, but progressives (communists) in the US Congress are encouraging private sector companies such as Google, Facebook, and others to "regulate" free speech on their platforms. This revelation came in the aftermath of Google CEO Sundar Pichai's testimony before the House Judiciary Committee about whether the company's search engine was biased against conservative speech. In an interview with CNN, US Representative Ted Lieu (D-CA), a member of the House Progressive (communist) Caucus, said he wants government to regulate free speech, but absent of that, corporations should do so.
 
Lieu was asked by CNN host Brianna Kellar how Google and other tech companies can work to prevent the spread of conspiracy theories and other online trolling. Lieu responded: "I would love to be able to regulate the content of speech. The First Amendment prevents me from doing so, and that's simply a function of the First Amendment, but I think over the long run, it's better the government does not regulate the content of speech." He added that corporations should do the job that government can't do-regulate content of speech. And this is the point: Leftist-led tech companies are actually doing the work these leftists in government want them to do by suppressing conservative and religious speech on their platforms. They do it under the guise of "preventing" fake news and conspiracy theories.
 
Progressivism, socialism, communism are all the same thing, just a different word is used depending on what is more acceptable to the audience. It is all about communism. Communism must control free speech because its very manifesto calls for abolishing all morals and all religion. Government becomes god in the communist regime. It is run by dictators who pillage entire societies and promote control through class warfare and poverty. Look at China, Cuba, Venezuela, and Argentina. There is no middle class and people are starving. This is a hallmark of communism and it starts with taking away religious freedom and freedom of speech-the tools of hope and salvation. Sadly, it is gaining a foothold in America.
 
Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez in early December praised socialist Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and said that she "represents the future of our party." Perez also told a Demand Justice gathering of progressives on December 5 that too many voters get their information from Fox News, the NRA and the pulpit on Sundays. He further said, "We've got to talk about other reforms to enable us to elect Democrats." He said they need a broader communications strategy. In this context, it means suppression of free speech and religious free speech-just as the liberal tech companies are doing. See where this is headed? As Christ said in Matthew 24:9 of the end times: "and you shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake." They detest God's Word. They hate your opinion. They seek to take both away.
Have a Blessed and Powerful Day!

The Flynn Entrapment A court filing shows the ugly tactics employed by James Comey’s FBI.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-flynn-entrapment-11544658915
Of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s many targets, the most tragic may be former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn. The former three-star general pleaded guilty last year to a single count of lying to the FBI about conversations he had with Russia’s ambassador to the U.S. Now we learn from Mr. Flynn’s court filing to the sentencing judge that senior bureau officials acted in a way to set him up for the fall.

VIVE LA FRANCE!

In a move of impeccable timing, a group of House Democrats and quisling Republicans have introduced a bill to impose a carbon tax here in the U.S., and the climatistas are falling all over themselves to say “Pay no attention to those riots over fuel taxes in France! Our carbon tax is completely different!” Here it is being called “tax and dividend” (or sometimes “revenue recycling,” which sounds even greener, because recycling!), as the tax revenue will supposedly be rebated to everyone. In other words, say the advocates, we merely want to induce fuel conservation by increasing the consumer price tag, but you’ll get your money back! So no harm, no foul air. I’m sure the next thing they’ll say is “Of course I’ll still respect you in the morning!” Why, I imagine the first carbon tax rebate checks are already in the mail.
No one over the age of six believes that a carbon tax would be “revenue neutral,” or that any rebate scheme wouldn’t be tilted into a de facto redistribution scheme. Some advocates are quite open about it. The prize for the most exquisite take on the whole matter comes from Tom Steyer on Twitter:

There is a storm coming for American Jews!

by Gary Starr
NevilleAwards.com

PART ONE:

There is a storm coming for American Jews.....and it won't distinguish between Conservative, mostly Orthodox Jews, and the Leftist secular Jews. If the left regains power in America there will be a second Holocaust...and this time the Zyklon B will be EPA approved.

And the way these leftist Jew haters conceal their real feelings is to mumble something about religion and government being separate and distinct. Except that Israel is a Jewish state, not a secular one. Of course these same morons don't seem to have problem with the "Islamic Republic of Take your Pick"

The last election saw two black Muslims females elected to the House, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar. The former celebrated her victory by wrapping herself in the Palestinian flag. Both have called for the end of U.S. aid to Israel

The Congressional Black Caucus is the most virulent anti-Semitic organization in the Federal Government. All of them are supporters of Louis Farrakhan.

With the rise of Black and Hispanic radical left wing candidates like Ocasio Cortez, Andrew Gillum and Stacy Abrams, who have professed anti-semitic leanings, and the rise of Muslims in politics like Linda Sarsour, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar and Keith Ellison, all of whom openly support the mainstreaming of Louis Farrakhan by the Leftist media, things are going to take a very dark turn for American Jews.

If "Never Again" is supposed to mean something here is a message to all Jews in the U.S.:

Buy guns. A lot of them. And learn to use them. You will need them.

Israeli Tactical Training in the U.S.

Jews Can Shoot

The Third Reich didn't distinguish between secular Jews, who considered themselves Germans first, and devout Jews.

Leftist Jews are classic useful idiots. They will be useful to Ellison, Linda Sarsour and the Democrats until they are no longer useful. Noam Chomsky and all the other smug Leftist Jewish Israel haters like  Steven Goldstein, the director of the “Anne Frank Center.” Mark Hetfield, HIAS president, Hillel CEO Eric Fingerhut and The ADL's Jonathan Greenblatt will be swept up and sent away.

They will know the truth when it is too late.

PART TWO:

In America secular liberal Jews and the ADL have always voted for their own executioners. And now they are siding with and befriending America's enemies like Linda Sarsour and Rep. Keith x Ellison Mohammed. By embracing these Muslims in the name of diversity and tolerance they are signing their own death warrants. Most recently Nation of Islam’s Louis Farrakhan and the Congressional Black Caucus have been very open in their anti-Semitism.


These Jews are classic useful idiots. They will be useful to Ellison, Linda Sarsour and the Democrats until they are no longer useful.

And now we can include Steven Goldstein, the director of the “Anne Frank Center.” Mark Hetfield, HIAS president, Hillel CEO Eric Fingerhut, The ADL's Jonathan Greenblatt  are traitors to America and are selling out the Jews. In another era Goldstein, Hetfield, Greenblatt and Eric Fingerhut would be called Kapos or Sonderkommandos. 

The Progressive Left is the source of Jew Hatred and Israel hatred most significantly since the Six Day War. They always couch it in anti-Zionism. Like Germany in the 1920s today's American anti-Semitism finds fertile ground in academia.

Indeed Mark Levin talked about this topic on his show of 8/17/2018 beginning at the 1 hr 26 minute mark http://www.marklevinshow.com/audio-rewind/

The BLM movement, the Israel Divestment BDS movement and the Students for Justice in Palestine, all at the universities are ground zero for anti-Semitism. Obama, Hillary and Kerry sold out Israel via the Iranian nuke deal.

There is also a disturbing confluence of alliances in the Democrat Party starting to form. I call it the Ocasio Cortez/Sarsour axis of evil.

The players include Linda Sarsour, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Bernie Sanders, Keith X Ellison and Cory Booker, Louis Farrakhan and the Congressional Black Caucus.

But because of the Trump victory the secular Jews in this country have been granted a reprieve although it looks like they won’t take advantage of it. Christians, in this country, were under assault from Obama within two years of his taking office. If Hillary had won, the Jewish persecutions would have started within a couple of years.

It's already happening in France and Germany. The Jews are no longer the favored pets of the Dhimmicrats. Hillary would have increased Obama's Muslim numbers in this country via refugee immigration, to the point they would have influenced policy. The Dhimmicrats do not care about the Jewish vote anymore.

Post Parkland we are also starting to see another disturbing trend…secular Jews participating in various gun control schemes, specifically AR bans in Deerfield Illinois and Boulder City Colorado. Wasn’t the gun confiscation in the Third Reich enough of an abject lesson for them? Perhaps a quick read of Stephen Holcombs “Gun Control in the Third Reich” will enlighten. In Deerfield Mayor Harriet Rosenthal said the following: “Enough is enough,” she said when the ban was first discussed. “Those students are so articulate just like our students. There is no place here for assault weapons.” What an idiot. Deerfield Residents have until June 2018 to comply. In Boulder City Councilwoman Jill Adler Grano, said “This is not a knee-jerk reaction.” Of course it is. Boulder City is considering the ban.

And now the Progressive Left has seen the naïveté of American secular Jews and is ready to take full advantage of it. These idiot Jews might as well march themselves into the ovens where the Zyklon B will be EPA approved.

Victor Davis Hanson: "A reminder that abstract progressive ideologies impose life-and-death consequences on millions"

Roads between mountain communities are windy, narrow, and often potholed and crumbling (California remains near last in state-by-state infrastructure ratings, though it will soon have the nation's highest gas taxes). For many foothill residents, the ensuing lack of traffic and easy mountain access is seen as a sort of blessing, ensuring privacy and a lack of tourism. Unfortunately, the net result of both poor and too few roads was that when wind-swept fires leapt through canyons and up hillsides, it was almost impossible to escape rural communities and private residences with any rapidity. And so, homes burned down and people died.

In a larger sense, twenty-first-century California is starting to confront the real-life consequences of its own abstract ideologies — on several tragic fronts. The nearly five-year drought taught us that entire communities and vast irrigated acreages could disappear if we ignored our forefathers' warnings to keep building reservoirs, aqueducts, and dams commensurately with population growth, and to abide by the original rationale of these multi-billion-dollar projects. Open borders and sanctuary cities appear humanitarian, but when the result was the arrival of millions of impoverished immigrants without legal status, English fluency, and high school diplomas, state resources once prioritized for roads, bridges, canals, reservoirs, and airports were directed to accommodate vast expansions of social-welfare programs. The idea of ending close state supervision of those suffering from psychological disorders and mental illnesses, when combined with strict zoning and environmental laws that stymied new low-cost housing construction, led to hundreds of thousands of homeless living on the sidewalks of the state's temperate coastal cities, from San Diego to Berkley. Medieval plagues like typhus and infectious hepatitis are often the result.

These same paradoxes help explain the 2018 epidemic of destructive forest fires, a tragic consequence of ideology trumping reality and common sense. Once upon a time, the architects of state governance understood that living in paradise required constant investments and vigilance against the vagaries of both Mother Nature and human nature, whether that meant managed forestry, road construction, reasonable building codes, or water storage and transfers. In theory, at least, millions of dead trees may have been ecological assets for a near pristine, mid-twentieth-century California of 10 million people. But such natural kindling can pose an existential danger to a complex civilization of 40 million twentieth-first century state residents.

Why Carry a Gun?

My old Grandpa said to me, 'Son, there comes a time in every man's life when he stops bustin' knuckles and starts bustin' caps and usually it's when he becomes too old to take a whoopin'.'
I don't carry a gun to kill people; I carry a gun to keep from being killed.
I don't carry a gun because I'm evil; I carry a gun because I have lived long enough to see the evil in the World.
I don't carry a gun because I hate the government; I carry a gun because I understand the limitations of government.
I don't carry a gun because I'm angry; I carry a gun so that I don't have to spend the rest of my life hating myself for failing to be prepared.
I don't carry a gun because I want to shoot someone; I carry a gun because I want to die at a ripe old age in my bed and not on a sidewalk somewhere tomorrow afternoon.
I don't carry a gun to make me feel like a man; I carry a gun because men know how to take care of themselves and the ones they love.
I don't carry a gun because I feel inadequate; I carry a gun because unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am inadequate.
I don't carry a gun because I love it; I carry a gun because I love life and the people who make it meaningful to me.
Police protection is an oxymoron: Free citizens must protect themselves because police do not protect you from crime; they just investigate the crime after it happens and then call someone in to clean up the mess.
Personally, I carry a gun because I'm too young to die and too old to take a whoopin'!
A Little Gun History
Please don't think for a moment that this couldn't happen in our country!!!

In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control:
>From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
-----------------------
In 1911, Turkey established gun control:
>From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
-----------------------
Germany established gun control in 1938:
>From 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.
-----------------------
China established gun control in 1935:
>From 1948 to 1952 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
-----------------------
Guatemala established gun control in 1964:
>From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
-----------------------
Uganda established gun control in 1970:
>From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
-----------------------
Cambodia established gun control in 1956:
>From 1975 to 1977, one million educated people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
-----------------------
56 million defenseless people were rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century because of gun control.
-----------------------
You won't see this data on the US evening news, or hear politicians disseminating this information.
Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens.
With guns, we are 'citizens'; without them, we are 'subjects'.
During WW II, the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED!
Gun owners in the USA are the largest armed forces in the World! If you value your freedom, please spread this anti-gun control message to all of your friends. The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in defense. The sword is more important than the shield and skill is more important than either.
Switzerland issues a gun to every household. Switzerland's government issues and trains every adult in the use of a rifle. Switzerland has the lowest gun related crime rate of any civilized country in the world!
I'm a firm believer in the 2nd Amendment! If you are too, please forward this. If you're not a believer, please reconsider the true facts. This is history; not what's being shown on TV, sanctioned by our illustrious delusional leaders in Washington.
