About the Trump Indictments: the Ancient Christian Model of Resistance

 

Make no mistake about it, Trump is going to prison. That is what the system wants. But it is not about Trump – it is about justification to crush you, the remaining element of American idealism who believes the Constitution is sacrosanct.

What they want are fed posts. They want justification to walk into a court and say, “Here is ‘Mr. Constitution’ on Gab speaking about blood… or vengeance… or being a lion… etc, etc. We want a warrant to monitor him and his associates. More importantly, we want to execute Red Flag Laws. Let’s take Mr. Constitution’s guns away.”

Do not fall for the trap.

In addition, they want the humiliation ritual of Trump’s indictments and courtroom appearances to continue through 2024. Again, this is not about him. This is about you. They want you to get so angry you do something half-cocked. They want a J6 2.0 or a Charlottesville 3.0.

They are banking on the angry 50-something-year-old White Christian veteran of the past two wars to grab his gun and take out Congressmen or federal courts. They know that we – non-bolshevik America – lack the support of big business, the courts, the DOJ, both political parties, etc., like the antifa enjoys. Thus, any attack by one of our kind (i.e., conservative White Christians) will form the pretext for an even harsher, coordinated response. They are itching for the chance to finally crush Christian conservatism that they fear.

Do not fall for the trap.

All of this said, do not sit idly by, either. You can organize. There are groups that exist for the sake of our resistance. Salvation will not be found in a ballot box. Salvation will not be found in emotional responses to obvious attempts to solicit them. Salvation is found in Christ and can be organized at kitchen tables around the country.

It is hard for so many Christians to fathom now, because ours is an established faith, that there was a time when Christians met in small, unsanctioned groups and resisted the pagan world through collective personal and spiritual secession. You can do the same.

You need not fall into traps of the federal government’s making. You need not have a 501C3 ststus to tell you how you can worship. Force their hand to persecute small, voluntary Christian collectives. Break away from their models. Learn the ways of the Ancient Christians. We are back to those days in so many ways. In fact, we needed this!

We need to be reminded of the humble origins of a Faith that transcended temporal pleasures. In a world within which it is so much easier to watch NetFlix then read a Bible, I think we needed the reminder that we only have that Bible because small communities of Christians in the Greco-Roman world endured to ensure it was given to us. Learn from them.

The federal government will do what it wants to Trump. You can attempt to vote him into office, hoping that breaks their backs. Maybe you feel confident that one of the other guy’s will pardon him. Personally, I see none of the reforms necessary to reinstall confidence in voting – but you can try. What you should not try is giving them a pretext to strike.

Now is the time to be small, harder to hit, and stronger in Faith. Trump is not my cup of tea, but I see right through the obvious persecution. It is a dangling carrot for you – the justifiably angry American. Do not let them bait you. Work differently. Work smarter. Lead by example – like your Christian forefathers did before you.

You can organize locally and you can genuinely resist. Greek Christians did it in the 2nd Century. They faced actual lions.

What are you willing to face?

“The child sex trafficking is exploding”
You think this is new? The only difference is now we pretend it is all ‘other’ children.

“youth sexual mutilation,”
How many of us were NOT sexually mutilated as children?

Rump ain’t going to prison. He is controlled opposition, fake opposition. It is all kabuki theater, to distract us as the country careens toward collapse. I am trying to go remote and otherwise prepare for the coming dark ages, but find the kabuki theater morbidly entertaining in the meantime.

I like most of his takes, though I don’t really do socials – even Gab, so can’t speak to a lot of what circulates.

The ‘kitchen table’ approach is the crux. As are the ‘personal and spiritual’ secession.

What is often lacking, however, for the righteously angry 50-year-old man contemplating his rational response to being the object of an all-out war on his way of life, heritage, and posterity are the very real social and economic problems, the solutions to which all of these vocal patriots (no sarc) seem to leave in the wind.

I say this as having done plenty of IRL work to separate both physically and economically; to go galt, withdraw my consent and participation, build up a tiny online and IRL proto community of like-minded, and sever ties that are not accretive to this purpose.

The sum of which for me, when combined with the direct action of the enemy, has been divorcing from a seven-figure career track and business network, loss of countless relationships built over years, complete decoupling of my identity and status from the various brands of cultural markers; the loss of most of my life’s savings including a couple of fledgling businesses, and an isolating life in a geography and culture completely foreign to me.

What I am willing to face?

Well, that, for starters.

I don’t spill the sour milk for sympathy but to illustrate that for most men who have not profited much from the Empire, who do not own capital industry or assets of any measure, who are already at the altar of various threatpoints long since entrenched by nature of merely ‘doing the right thing’ for their families, the proposition of decoupling includes the very real cascade of costs and risks and sacrifices which should not be taken lightly.

And more importantly, these common challenges should be at the forefront of our efforts to solve for one another. But they remain illusive at best.

I am glad I am mostly free of the System. But we need to be honest about the fact that there is no monkey branch between there and here. There is no cabal of our own; no network of wealthy investors building dissident commerce, infrastructure, and cultural institutions.

You cross the river with the shirt on your back.

In all of my work to find and build community, I remain completely on my own to figure out how to generate income in this corrupt, evil “economy” without serving the beast – or exacting flesh from my brothers, or any of the other mechanisms that require a massive amount of rationalization and utilitarian reductionism to justify as righteous and necessary.

There are no public houses with back rooms full of patriots building networks of capital and plans, skills and tools, facilitating marriages of one’s surplus to another’s deficit, ideas to action, young families to vacant homes, etc. Scarce are the examples of people leaving money on the table to further our cause.

There are some out there, I’m sure. But there remains a massive black box where there should be open source. A mentality of bunkering and self-preservation that is no small headwind for those already paying the heavy toll for separation while pinging for this kitchen table of grassroots, ‘parallel economy’ and other trade-names for things that do not yet actually exist.

I have posed these very simple questions many times to groups of fellow dissidents. The only reliable answer is that you are on your own to scrape value from this wicked System, to figure out how to move, procure housing, secure the capital goods and materials necessary to feed, clothe, provide healthcare, and operate beyond the reach of the manifold onramps that exist to pull you back into the system.

Perhaps it will come in time. Perhaps others have had better fortunes. In the end it is about faith and humility. Finding contentment where you can. Serving the truth and enjoying the beauty of life.

The ‘harsher, coordinated response’ is coming regardless of some old white guys popping off and so I weight that against whatever risk might arise out of being the tall nail in the land of hammers.

Black markets work perfectly. As governments become more corrupted the black markets will fill the gaps. Be a part of the solution. Prepare to do exactly what the people of the former Soviet Union did for 90 years – go around the system. The Soviets tried to destroy them but failed. When the Soviet system imploded it was the longstanding black market to the rescue. In fact, black markets are the finest teachers of true capitalism.

In the US, how’s the “war on drugs” going? Perfect example. Or clamping down on “illegal guns”?

Its amazing what flourishes under tyranny. Ultimately it helps get rid of tyranny.

Unfortunately the early Christians didn’t ‘win’ until they had conjoined with the State, i.e. Rome. After which the faith immediately became corrupted into what we now call Catholicism.

I’ve been doing it since I’ve learned the Bible rightly divided. The vast majority of “established faith” the author refers to is founded upon Peter and the words Jesus spoke to him, when the true Christians faith is to be builded upon that information which Jesus gave to Paul. The vast majority of churches are pagan today. It’s time to resist them.

Learn Christ according to the mystery revealed to Paul. It’s not gonna happen in church; it’s gonna happen when YOU sit down with a KJB and figure out what it says for yourself.

Trump is a Zionist who moved our Embassy to Jerusalem, attacked Israel’s enemies, had 666 son-in-law for chief advisor, pushed the COVID Genocide Shot, etc, yet TPTB are destroying him with weaponized government prosecutions. His big mistake was to move against Chinese trade, because China is TPTB.
