Agree 100% that they have dismissed and castigated the most truthful, righteous and reasonable of the TPUSA speakers this year, Ben Shapiro.

This is persecution of the righteous, make no mistake. Ben stood in the gap for truth and for a widow and her children. This is pure religion and undefiled, according to James. Ben, an observant Jew,was behaving as far more of a Christian than Vance or Carlson will ever based on their fruits.

Pray for the good souls of our country and the world. The winepress of open persecution of the righteous is closing in.

May we offer good wine unto the Lord when we are pressed and spent. 🙏💜

Said so well. Thank you 🙏

While my gut reaction is you have read more into the situation than is there, on reflection your fears are not unfounded. We are in a social situation where Jesus the Saviour is no longer, or never was, the sole (or soul) focus of many who call themselves Christian. Satan is winning in the political sphere. Prayer, like we have never prayed before is our requirement for the future.

💯 God gave this planet over to Satan. Humans have chosen to turn thejr backs on their Creator and try to become gods themselves, the first lie of Satan to Adam and Eve. We see it most clearly with the push for AI and the power of the tech gods and how they have influenced Trump. It's inevitable that this is all leading to destruction.

Those of us who truly follow Jesus will find ourselves in a smaller and smaller minority. As I said in another comment, Trump’s slogan was "Make America Great Again" and Vance's slogan is "Make America a 'Christian' Nation" but to force a certain type of Christianity on a nation takes us back to the Dark Ages of the Inquisition ( with a modern AI twist) and nothing could be further from true Christianity.

This may seem simplistic but for me the use of the word "destruction" is helpful in that it best describes what is in fact coming. Other words are used but destruction paints a picture of a vast space characteristic following war. The times we are in seem like the trajectory of a roller coaster, and we've made it to the top of the very last and highest rise and are now plunging toward the bottom, The End.

A lot to digest all at once. The thing that stood out to me was Vance's brush-off comment, summed up in my words as "we have got way more important things to focus on than anti-semitism, blood libels, and the importance of Israel as our steadfast ally." Maybe he feels it's too soon to do any corrections whatsoever. Or, looking more likely, he's never going to deal with the hard questions. And he is not going to tolerate dissension in HIS ranks, no sir, not for nobody. He wants smooth sailing to the White House. As for the young turks other than Barron, things might not end so well for them. As for Barron, just a guess, there will ever and only be one president like Trump. He is unique. He does not have anybody else's playbook. Apparently he has looked around at what he sees needing fixing and goes at it. He brought all that business acumen with him. In my opinion Vance just wants to "be" president, Trump wants to "do" president. And one last thing. There are millions who will disagree. Trump has a deep and abiding love of this country. He truly cares about the American people. And--here come the slings and arrows--he has a gentler side that comes from his mother. In conclusion Karen. thank you for this post. I'll be keeping an eye on the people you wrote about.

Karen Hunt aka KH Mezek's avatar

A good summary.

The part of Trump’s presidency that he is doing so thoroughly and that is most worrying but people really aren't paying attention to, is his alignment with the "tech gods" and his push for AI.

I think Trump.does care about America, however, I'm afraid his desire to build his own empire has overtaken that love of country. I wrote about his Stargate project, which was the first thing he announced after becoming president.

As you say, there is so much to digest here and it's all moving so fast. I think Vance has more in mind than to just reach that highest level of power as President of the US. Whereas Trump’s slogan was "Make America Great again," his is Make America a "Christian" Nation. That is the road to tyranny, the Inquisition. It's as far from true Christianity as one can get. There is nothing more terrifying than a tyrant who believes he is doing God's will.

Absolutely! I need to write something about Peter Theil. I wrote so much about the billionaire class during Covid and now, with Israel, I have focused on that. I wish I could write more but as everyone keeps reminding me, I need to finish my book.

But yes, there is nothing as concerning as this push for AI by this whole other class of lunatics like Peter Theil, San Altman, Elon Musk (who has reached $700 billion), Palmer Luckey (I just wrote about him) et al. Theil talks extensively about the anti-Christ and is converting Silicon Valley to his brand of "Christianity."

I wrote about Trump's huge push for AI in Stargate, Part I & II. Masayoshi Son, the CEO of Softbank (Softbank is bankrolling Stargate), said he truly believes that his emotional relationship with artificial intelligence will usher in what he calls “Birth of Superhuman.”

In 2020, Son compared himself to Jesus and Yoda.

Quoting from Stargate I:

Every day Masa sits at the feet of AI and pitches ideas to his guru, ChatGPT. They brainstorm together until resolutions are reached—not that satisfy Masa, but that satisfy the machine.

“After we repeated this several dozen times, I really felt great because my idea was praised as feasible and wonderful,” Masa said.

Teams are on standby 24 hours a day to receive Masa’s ideas after a ChatGPT brainstorm.

Masa believes that mankind is merely the “human precursor to AI”. He has said that ChatGPT moves him to tears as A.I. pushes him to ask, ‘What is mankind?’

I kind of have a feeling the anti-Christ will some sort of AI

Well, that's *scary*....

Lorraine Thomas's avatar

You really hit the nail on head….Karen! Vance is a RC and that tells you who his controllers are! The Vatican! The Jesuits! That should tell you all you need to know! Just watch…”American Jesuits”….and you will be well informed as to where we’re going! The documentary is available at Adullam Films! I have nothing against Catholics! The Jesuits have had control of this country for many years! And it hasn’t been for the good!

Karen Hunt aka KH Mezek's avatar

I agree, these so-called Christian politicians and influencers are pushing a very dangerous form of Catholicism. Just as I criticize Islam or the prosperity preachers of evangelical Christianity, I criticize Catholicism. Any institution that rises to such a level of power (we don't even know the extent of the Catholic Church's wealth and power) is going to be corrupt at its core.

You have probably seen my writings about my father, Christian author Dave Hunt. He wrote an important book on this topic; A Woman Rides the Beast. Here are a couple of his videos.

This one is an excellent summary of the book: https://youtu.be/zkbPijytkXg?si=JD7jsO-Rrfdy68qi

This one is his debate with Catholic apologist Karl Keating: https://youtu.be/Fqf3RVyhix8?si=A6RYAb56DuQumTsn

It’s a shame about JD Vance he gave the impression of being a genuine everyday guy who due to his own upbringing wouldn’t tolerate intolerance. Instead, he’s joined the linguistic brigade of the intolerant who will not only destroy pluralism but themselves as well, if they align themselves with the likes of Tucker Qatarlson & Cantdance Owens - such a shame he deserved respect for his achievements

Karen Hunt aka KH Mezek's avatar

Yep. He probably once was a genuine everyday guy. But that's what a taste if power will do to a person. I'm sure when he married Usha neither if them were thinking that one day he could be VP, looking at the possibility of being president of the most powerful nation on earth. Rising to that level of earthly power means compromising who you once were for the sake of that power.

“Please think, really thing about the implications of this. If such words lose their meaning, then WE as a civilization are lost. These words must NEVER lose their meaning, and we must NEVER shy away from using them correctly. “

———————-

Agree. It worries me that so many people cannot reason and cannot handle complexities.

The whole point of not misusing those words is so we CAN use them when they are applicable, not to put them in a glass case in a museum.

I myself have cautioned against overusing or misusing “Nazi” because I wanted the word to retain its shock value and power - for people like Vance and his groyper/jihadi fan club.

Karen Hunt aka KH Mezek's avatar

Exactly. They have purposely made so many words lose their meanings. It's horrible.

MadCowSpectrum's avatar

This also makes sense as to why Megyn Kelly won’t condemn Candace Owens or Tucker. She’s openly stated she’s a JD Vance supporter. We will never know if Charlie Kirk would have let TPUSA so blatantly take this course if he were still alive. He definitely seemed more moderate on his views of Israel and he was openly critical of the dangers of Islam. Just as Tulsi Gabbard is.

Karen Hunt aka KH Mezek's avatar

Agree. And now that he is gone, everyone is putting words in his mouth.

Paul B. Cohen's avatar

Charlie compromised for power and position (favor with man rather than God), by platforming the demonic Tucker with no pushback. He actively sowed the seeds of dissension and destruction.

MadCowSpectrum's avatar

Maybe. But Tucker has doubled down since Charlie died. Tucker is now a blatant mouthpiece for Islam which Charlie NEVER was. He openly spoke out about the dangers.

Paul B. Cohen's avatar

No maybe about it. Tucker doubled down after already placing a large bet. You’re judged by what you are and do, not what you were and did.

oh lordy Buckley named after William F I'm sure... I didn't know 'bout these "young guns" but indeed they could be weaponized... the Barron could be the "Trump Card" to foil 'em...or not... It all seems a bit whiffy.... I tried ta find it (sadly cain't) but I read a nice piece 'bout all the TPUSA (Terlet Paper USA) folks comin' down on Ben includin' Bannon as well as Vance & the usual suspects... the pernt was that Ben said this isn't about a "club" where "yer with us or against us" but a responsibility to...wull... speak responsibly. All the others--their subtext wuz--yer not with us...Joos ain't with us--ya don't denounce ANY members of the club as this is about LOYALTY (an' of course Jewish Loyalty not ta mention imagined Royalty--is always in "question.") One kin love two children, so it is with Jews (who -- most of us at least! -- love America an' have fought fer it)--and love Israel fer other reasons. The TPUSA jerks won't git that but Ben speaks for the Conservative Movement he "thought" he had membership "to"--an' didn't as it's really a club an' he ain't in it (no joos are in it). I guess his speech will remain as a sober legacy ta a movement that I find...now...deeskustin'.... Interestin' all ya said about the "new" Christian Caliphate of sorts.... I guess that kin mesh in with the Islamic one jus' fine... sigh. not good not good...

side note fwiw Ben's comments about people doin' stuff they cain't afford wuz taken outta context--the extraction is shockin' an' seems bone-headed but IN context--kids feelin' entitled & livin' above their means--made sense an' wuz not discriminatory as they'd like ta have folks believe. Shapiro came from near-nuthin' (daddy was a pianist at a pizza parlor) an' worked hard ta git whar he is.... he can be dismissive but I don't see it in this case... sigh. Most of America won't botha hearin' the full statement.... so it goes

Karen Hunt aka KH Mezek's avatar

Nothing Ben Shapiro says from here on, no matter how rational, will be taken seriously. It will all have to be discredited. For all I know, Barron will end up having absolutely no personality at all and fade into nothing. And as I said, none of it will matter anyway since we could well be plunged into civil war, world war, and no matter who is president, we are on this runaway train heading for the cliff. Terrible talk for the New Year, right?

You got it--one of my favorite Kurt Vonnegut phrases: So it goes...!!!

Michelle Shine's avatar

I wonder what DT himself feels about a 'far right' Presidency succeeding him? Was it always planned to be in the pipeline? Or is this a curve ball? I did hear that he was looking into ways of getting a 3rd term, but that could just be conjecture. Are we to be doomed whatever and whoever we vote for? And lulled into a false sense of security thinking all the information is out there so we can educate and save ourselves? A fascist takeover of America is just too terrible to contemplate.

Karen Hunt aka KH Mezek's avatar

I don't think Trump planned any of this. I have ever thought there was some sort of secret Cabal in charge. I think it's simply the direction humanity has taken ever since the Garden of Eden when they believe the lie of Satan, that they can be as God. So, we have been doomed since the beginning, but there is a way to salvation, but it is on a spiritual level, not in this physical world.

There have always been elites. The difference now is AI and how it is infiltrating our minds. This is a whole other level of elitist evil that humanity has never dealt with before. And it is being ushered in by "tech gods" who think they are in control, but they aren't.

I doubt Trump could last through another term; he is too old. He wants to cement his dynasty. I don't think he wants to look any deeper than that. As the Bible says, he is bringing a false peace that will fall apart. The world is now too small. The idea of isolationism is absurd; it's just something they say because it resonates with people. Jews are the scapegoats as always and the destruction of Israel is the goal.

Michelle Shine's avatar

Where do you think this is heading, ultimately?

Karen Hunt aka KH Mezek's avatar

What is the greatest achievement of mankind? The ability now to destroy everything and everyone on the planet. I know it's negative, but I am not really a negative person. I just see it as a logical conclusion. It makes sense that total destruction is what will ultimately happen to our species. But there is a spiritual side to this. As a follower of Jesus, I read the Bible and see prophecies coming true at an ever-increasing rate. I don't think any of us can really understand it all. We are finite beings in the middle of something that is bigger than we are. We are like ants that climb up on a blade of grass and say proudly, I have conquered the universe, when we aren't even out of the backyard. I think of Elon Musk with all his billions talking about reaching Mars. He is just standing on a blade of grass.

Michelle Shine's avatar

I would like to think that overall human beings are more intelligent than lemmings and that G-d still wants us here, because behind the scenes and very quietly there are some amazing people who are getting in touch with the essence of our beings and our beautiful planet in very unique and amazing ways. There are healers of advanced understanding like Veda Austin and Dr Rajan Sankaran, who in the words of DT 'are doing things like never before'. I also think that for these people to be so spiritually aware and powerful and able to reach millions of people with travel and the internet, there has to be an opposite. In the past when the world faced destructive forces with the same intent as we experience them now, the scales eventually tipped in favour of democracy. I'd like to think the scales will tip again and we will collectively advance towards something more positive. 🙏

Dog's avatar

Per my comment on your TPUSA article, it barely matters who succeeds trump. Agenda 2030 has only 4 years to play out. The dollar is declining. There is much division simmering in this country on 100+ issues. Tommy Robinson is openly stating that the UK is headed to civil war. So is the US especially if it happens elsewhere first. democrats and republicans may hate each other but they are effectively the uniparty and although may contest certain offices, will work together to maintain their joint stranglehold on power.

So again, who's next (if there is a next) is mostly irrelevant.

Karen Hunt aka KH Mezek's avatar

Very true. As I said, the parties hardly matter anymore. We are on this runaway train. Also, both sides are united on the one issue they have in common with Islam: hatred of Jews and the destruction of Israel. As the Bible states, the final battle will be all nations against Israel.

I've written several pieces focused on Tommy Robinson. I am amazed he hasn't been assassinated yet. the UK is about to explode.

Fair and important warning. Vance is really acting like the junkyard dog. I’m surprised he’s being such a jerk. He highly intelligent and should know better. The TPUSA free for all reveals it’s now a ship without a rudder. All these people are a complete turnoff to the masses of moderates in the center. Perhaps a John Fetterman can lead the country back to sanity.

Karen Hunt aka KH Mezek's avatar

John Fetterman is a great idea. I just don't think at this point we can stop this disaster. Whether left or right, we are sitting on a national and worldwide powder keg. I think of the world my grandchildren will inhabit. I know it's a thing for the older generation to look at the world in a gloomy way, but I don't think that's what this is about. Humanity has only been going in one direction since listening to the snake in the Garden of Eden. At some point, it has to end.

MAG's avatar

Facing the same dilemma as before, who’s worse, Hitler or Stalin? However, at least the Jews are heavy armed this time.

Karen Hunt aka KH Mezek's avatar

Yes, and Israel is looking to become totally independent of the United States, which they should do asap.

MAG's avatar

All these jacobin sycophants on the far left and far right have succumbed to the narcotic of social media acceptance. If the country collapses it won’t end well for any of the. They are the first ones sent to the gallows. I can’t comprehend how they don’t see their support for the next caliphate. If Israel isolates itself, western civilization will suffer vital intelligence gathering and important military testing and improvement. Throughout history massive militaries have tried and failed to destroy the Jews. It’s an incoherent idea. However, hopefully we’ll continue to survive.

As you know I'm in the UK so somewhat naive about the US's politics and religion.

So maybe this makes me more objective too. I wanted to believe in J D Vance, his Munich Speech and the way he has risen from a dysfunctional childhood to serve his country and rise to the second most powerful person on the planet deserves respect.

BUT...

His cronyism with the evil Tucker Carlson and their unbalanced criticisms of Ben Shapiro , prioritising anti-interventionism and unity over bigotry have severely rented my support. It seems to me Ben Shapiro has always been consistent and fair in his unequivocal support for Israel and Jews and all he is asking is that the righteous all play by the same rules.

Am Israel Chai.

🇮🇱 Shalom.

Karen Hunt aka KH Mezek's avatar

Unfortunately, we are on this trajectory now and I don't think anything can stop it. Whoever is going to be the next president of the United States, left or right, must compromise whatever integrity they have left to attain that power.

Alan Jurek's avatar

That fills me with sadness for the World 😢

Melissa Fountain's avatar

Thank-you. I think that Barron will go through many changes... he is just starting out and along with that is observation of every move he makes, every thing he says. I believe that, whatever direction he takes, we will be on to him because things seem to be changing in the direction of common sense and honesty in that they went, sadly, so poorly in the other direction. If he takes the wrong path, I pray people will see that. He will likely change "new best friends" often as the wealthy do.

Karen Hunt aka KH Mezek's avatar

100% agree. Barron could end up being a big nothing, as well. Trump is hard act for a son to follow. But there is a reason he is being pushed while Trump's older children are busy looking after the Trump Empire--Trump's personal wealth has doubled in his first year of presidency.

It seems like these "Christian" conservatives are foolishly following this far right agenda and you would think it would make sense for anyone who wants to take over from Trump to distance himself from lunatics like Tucker Carlson. But that isn't the case. And that really worries me because I don't think they are doing this without a great deal of planning and projection of the future. They must be banking on Americans becoming ever more desperate for this America Frist calling. Jews are such a small minority in this country, if it means sacrificing Jews to be "America First" people will justify doing it.

On the other side, if the left wins, it will be just as bad. What are the options on either side. Horrible.

Melissa Fountain's avatar

"Prayer changes everything." I see it every day on my wall, while living in a situation that could be better. I believe that Eric is the better one, of all of them, if one of them is, and with that kind of money and "charisma" it is not impossible. I have to admit, my dear, that in the '70's through the '90's I knew someone who knows them very well. Before he ran for office, this person (whom I do not know is still alive), a very kind, generous soul, had worked for him and the things that they said were all kind or funny but never bad.

Karen Hunt aka KH Mezek's avatar

Sorry, maybe I am being silly, but who is Eric?

Melissa Fountain's avatar

You are never silly. Eric is one of Don's sons with Ivana. Eric, Don and Ivanka were his kids with her.

Karen Hunt aka KH Mezek's avatar

Oh, okay. I don't think his other sons can ever replace Trump. He could well be the nicest of the bunch. It reminds me of that old show "Dallas" or "Dynasty". I used to watch them when I lived in London, it was so weird watching them there, but I must admit I loved those shows.

The older Trump children have one job which is to build the Trump Empire.

Melissa Fountain's avatar

Agreed. Definitely not "Junior" unless he suddenly grows-up a LOT. Barron is just too young for me to get any "vibes" except that he's obviously just another one of those "rich kids" that I knew growing up. (I must say, however, that although she had strange ideas when she grew-up, Carrie Fisher was hands-down, the sweetest-natured and witty person I'd ever known). I haven't mentioned Ivanka because I am sure she is not interested. Eric is, from what I can see, the strongest and most common-sense.

4Freedom's avatar

Well. I am confused. Apparently conservative Christians are bad for Jews and the U.S. in general. What about the real enemy of both? Muslims are diligently reproducing and importing so they can take over this country (Pennsylvania and Minnesota already gone) as they have in Europe. They will gleefully kill Christians and Jews while yelling praise to their evil god. They’re the ones with the religious mandate to kill all who are not them. They are the ones to watch. Not Christians.

Karen Hunt aka KH Mezek's avatar

I don't know why this is confusing. I can't write about everything in every single article. I have written numerous essays and articles about the dangers of Islam. I am writing an entire book about it.

I am sorry but it is pretty clear that so-called "Christians" are aligning with the left and with Islam in the one thing they have in common which is hatred of Jews and the destruction of Israel. You only have to look at Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Jack Posobiec, MTG, and many more and JD Vance's refusal to distance himself from them, to see where this is heading. The shift since Oct 7th has been dramatic and we ignore it at our peril.

4Freedom's avatar

Well. Confused again. Never realized that I am an anomaly in that I am Christian and support Israel. In my world there are many others who think the same. So. Don’t go implying all Christians hate Jews. And. I am definitely America First because I am sick sick sick of this country’s leaders bowing and scraping to other countries while giving America’s sovereignty and wealth away like so many Mardi Gras beads. Any leader who puts America First will have my support. I really don’t think JDV will recreate the Spanish Inquisition.

Karen Hunt aka KH Mezek's avatar

I have NEVER implied all Christians hate Jews. I am a Christian. My father was Christian author Dave Hunt who warned of this exact thing happening. I have a feeling though, that you think the United States should not stand by Israel.

Paul B. Cohen's avatar

"America First," as you describe it, has been weaponized against Israel for the monies it receives to mostly buy American weaponry, which monies are paltry compared to the economic and life-saving benefits Israel confers on America. We're talking multiples of hundreds of percent. It's been documented and if you ask for it nicely, I'll try to find those figures.

One more comment re Barron.

Children think their families and their surroundings are normal, no matter how abnormal they are. Barron’s family is far from normal.

All I know about him is that he chose the influencer podcasts his dad appeared on and that he is into crypto, like his brothers.

I doubt he will turn out to be a true conservative or to have his father’s PT Barnum-ish charisma.

But, with 15 years until he’s even eligible, I also doubt he’ll be a factor.

His dad’s new Muslim BFFs aren’t acceptable to me, so unless Barron breaks with his family on Qatar, etc., he’s a nope.

I hope the Republican Party returns to Ben Shapiro personal character and a muscular foreign policy. I think I’m a neocon, though, which is no longer a thing, so what do I know?
