OPINION: Resets are breaking out all over; here are a few of my favs
In my June 11, 2023, column in the Lewiston Tribune, I wrote: “Because of many observable events — some to be listed — this means to me that the ‘woke’ curse is in a God-induced death spiral. ... The woke movement is really the destruction of borders, language and culture with all the sick effects that everyone sees — family destruction, loss of childhood innocence and loss of national pride. ...”
We send our kids to schools where they get fake educations with DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion), but where ability is a liability and adults impose drag queens and gender ideologies.
In my Jan. 22, 2023 column, I wrote: “Marxism (wokeism) persecutes any opposing opinions with the groundless zeal of the eugenics movement and the taking of human life, whether at its beginning by abortion or the end by euthanasia.”
Marxism and wokeism are wonderfully described in Matthew 23:27-32: “The Pharisees as white washed tombs, outwardly beautiful, but within, they are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanliness.”
My Nov. 24 column described the Nov. 5 national election: “We won’t be silenced because the left calls us various ‘-ists’ and ‘-phobic’ in their arsenal of hate speech. The issue is exercising First Amendment rights to speak unapproved opinions.”
An impossible one to silence, without killing, is Elon Musk. I wrote that if Musk is sincere, successful and survives, he will be a great force for a good type of reset. As with everything woke, we have been “living in a time when intelligent people are being silenced so that stupid people won’t be offended.” The author of that quotation is unknown. After buying Twitter, Musk allowed the showing of the Daily Wires’s documentary, “What is a Woman?” This exposes the transgender movement and sex-change industry, and it has been viewed 170 million times. The so-called deplorables and the awakening Gen Z generation (for example, the University of North Carolina fraternity brothers protecting the American flag) showed up in the 2024 election, giving America another, but possibly last, chance to get right with God.
In the Bible, Acts 5:33-42, Gamaliel a Pharisee, recounts previous imposters claiming to be of God, such as Theudas and Judas the Galilean. Discussing the apostles and their work, he cautions the council to “let them alone, for if this plan or this undertaking is of men, it will fail; but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them. You might even be found opposing God.”
How is it otherwise explained that Musk was enabled to develop a vast fortune to buy Twitter, a mainstay of the Trusted News Initiative to censor alternative viewpoints, alter it to become the main voice for free speech and, in the process, increase its value by billions of dollars?
In my Sept. 5, 2023, column, I wrote: “There is the complete cancellation by the TNI media of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a classic liberal Democrat like his father, the late U.S. Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, and his uncle, the late President John F. Kennedy. RFK Jr. should be the Democratic Party’s top candidate if only for his extremely strong record on environmental protection, name recognition and position on constitutionally orientated government, free of entanglements such as with Big Pharma. He and his freedom fighter group, the Children’s Health Defense, have opinions independent of the ‘swamp’ controlling the Democratic Party. Every attempt will be made to silence him, but probably not to the extent of his father and uncle. ...”
So all the back room dirty dealing of former President Barack Obama, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to get rid of President Joe Biden and impose a flawed presidential candidate will likely put RFK Jr. in a position to help drain the swamp. Until he is confirmed by the Senate as Health and Human Services secretary, Kennedy is my co-attorney, along with Rick Jaffe and Todd Richardson, concerning the abuse of my First Amendment rights by the Washington Medical Commission and the Federation of State Medical Boards.
In February of 2021, the FSMB, a private entity with no legislative authority, directed the 70 state medical and territory medical boards to go after physicians who were using their judgment and giving alternative information to patients. Essentially all state medical boards have backed off from the demand — except Washington. As of this writing, U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas is allowing our case to be presented to the full Supreme Court on Jan. 10 to determine if it will be put on the docket for a full hearing and another Supreme Court decision protecting First Amendment rights.
In my Aug. 7, 2022, column, I wrote: “A source for this opinion is a publication in the March 1 (2022) edition of The Gazette of Medical Sciences, ‘Patient Betrayal; The Corruption of Healthcare, Informed Consent and the Physician-Patient Relationship,’ with 1,013 hyperlink references. It has 12 eminent physicians and four attorneys among its 19 authors. The abstract reads: ‘The purpose of this study is to review the disciplinary threats made to health care professionals by their governing bodies in the U.S. ... Misinformation charges are used to discredit alternative views and seeks to prevent honest and truthful communication with a patient about the experimental gene’s known and very real dangers. This honest and truthful communication is necessary for a physician to provide informed consent.’ It’s no longer ‘follow the science’ by an administration that can’t even define what a woman is.” The Dec. 7 Dr. Drew Pinsky interview on American Thought Leaders — titled “From the Opioid Crisis to COVID, the Physician-Patient Relationship is Increasingly Impaired” — states the same with more detail.
In my Dec. 25, 2022, column, I wrote that the Great Reset Initiative has already happened. “Given the philosophical mind set of those vying for world domination through Great Reset Initiative by the World Economic Forum, they would certainly deny that the world’s great reset already happened 2,000 years ago. They understand the meaning of the blessed event but must convince people that it never happened or has no meaning in today’s world. After all, if people really believed the truths shown to us by him, there would be ‘peace on Earth and good will to men.’ But since our human nature has character defects starting with pride, we will continue to be deceived to look for answers elsewhere, with repeated tragedies. ... This Christmas Day, hopefully we will put aside our fallen nature and accept the reconciliation made possible by the birth of Jesus.”
The story of Esther in the Bible tells us to use the blessings God gives us to help others, to do the right thing, using the influence we have to help them, as is being developed by Donald Trump, Musk and Kennedy.
As Obama said: “Elections have consequences.” A perfect storm is forming and is expected to keep rights as rights and not transitory privileges.
