Mark Armstrong’s Weekly News Commentary – 16 March 2018

Greetings from Tyler,

We live at a time when every western nation is at war with itself.  Over the past two weeks we’ve seen something unheard of in our culture, where the Mayor of Oakland warned illegal alien criminals of impending raids.  The Attorney General paid California a visit to say that it was insanity for local and state officials to warn criminals in time to elude apprehension.  Governor Jerry Brown threw a public fit and said that a state of war had been created between his state and the Federal government.  Not so long ago the Obama administration and its defenders, sued the state of Arizona for apprehending illegal aliens.  The same saboteurs who now call “sanctuary” city and state laws their right, argued that Federal Law was supreme in the case of Arizona.  Funny how these arguments swap ends depending on the desired outcome.

It’s too bad the 911 calls to authorities couldn’t have been released a month ago.  The caller was a woman who explained that the Cruz kid had threatened her son with a gun to his head, was threatening to shoot up the school and was on his way to purchase the rifle with which he subsequently carried out the pitiless killings.  We had to wait for all the demonstrations demanding gun control, the “die ins,” scoldings of lawful gun owners and the NRA before being told how detailed and explicit the warnings had been to law enforcement.

“He’s on his way to pick up a gun,” she said after relaying the threats he’d made in addition to several incidents where he’d put guns to people’s heads.  To say this one fell through the cracks is a ridiculous understatement.  As we’ve mentioned previously the FBI was warned directly and did nothing.  The local police and sheriffs were warned and did nothing.  Conspiracy theorists are wondering if these entities, steeped in leftist drama, didn’t stand back and allow this to happen for the benefit of their gun-control agenda.  We can’t imagine that is the case, but then again, what was the point of Fast and Furious, if not to distribute American guns to criminal Mexican gangs for the inevitable fallout?

It’s likely that all the machinations and abuses committed during the Obama years will never be unraveled or adjudicated.  But their attempt to prevent the election of Donald Trump, and then quickly destroy the incoming administration may yet.  Evidence of the intent and actions of the highest-ranking officials in the Department of Justice and the FBI has been spilling out into the public record since the end of December.  Little by little we’ve seen that there were surreptitious and successful attempts to control the news cycle, aided and abetted by nearly every mainstream outlet.  But it seems that those caught committing sedition against Donald Trump’s presidency were also in a position to classify their own communications and deeds, shielding them from public view.

To this day, mainstream publications and all the major tech companies are banking on ignorance and distractions of the vast majority of the public.  If they don’t report the truth, and none of the other big conglomerates don’t either, then nothing will come of it.  What would be earth-shattering revelations are simply ignored as they have been for over a year now, while they root for Mueller to charge the President or his family members with an act of criminality.  Readers and viewers are tantalized with all the “glamor shots” of fast women in slinky attire that have scandalous stories to tell.

It may be working.  Ratings numbers and statistics would indicate that a relatively small percentage of the population is well informed.  Every Internet news giant gratuitously slants their headlines every single day.  Only a glance through the headlines they present makes that glaringly obvious.  If they don’t like the news, it’s not there.  They just ignore it altogether.  Some of the revelations that are coming out of late are impossible to spin, so they pretend to be utterly unaware while interrogating a panel about chaos in the White House.

Those who have been paying attention and are aware of the extent to which our most respected agencies of law enforcement have been misused for corrupt purposes, to destroy a President and his administration, are waiting and waiting.  How long before the mainstream can no longer ignore the obvious?  When the dam finally breaks, which we’re assured it will, how will they spin that?  Surely, they’ll try.  What happens when their heroes, the anonymous high government officials responsible for “leaking,” instigating hundreds of misleading headlines and thousands of hours of expert analysis on air, are shown to have broken nearly every law they’d sworn to uphold?  How will they spin that?

Much of the information is out.  It’s been out in stark relief for months.  The outlines, without proof were visible long before that.  Iron-clad proof has been available and disseminated through conservative media only since December.  Have any of the major Internet platforms reported it?  Have any of the mainstream networks (beyond the maligned FNC) carried so much as a hint or a word?

The “news” is all about how crazy, petulant, uncouth, brazen, disorganized, selfish and egotistical is the lunatic in office.  World records have been set, no doubt.  Countless thousands of hours and millions of pages have been dedicated to sneering and smearing, on the basis of one leak, one false report after another.

The pope?  He’s a genius, in touch with modern times.  Angela Merkel?  Why, she’s holding Germany together by claiming, “Islam belongs to Germany.”  The way things are going, it might end up the other way around.  Global warming?  It’s a proven fact of reality according to all the media and most politicians.  It’s just become too dangerous to deny global warming.  They’ll come out of the woodwork to brand you a “denier,” which hearkens to the claim used to identify those who claim the Holocaust never happened.

It’s tangled, and everything is a mess when a majority of society’s institutions have buckled to every socialist dictate.  Buck the group-think and you’ll be attacked from every direction.  If you don’t agree that there are 67 genders, you flunk.  Sorry you can’t graduate.  Didn’t attend the anti-gun rally?  Sorry, your suspended from school.  Don’t believe in global warming, carbon credits and all the half-baked remedies, you’re beneath contempt, can’t be taken seriously and probably a racist, bigot homo-phobe.

We have something going on in the United States that is unknown elsewhere in the civilized world.  The dogma of socialism is being, not only challenged, but dismantled.  You can hear the kicking and screaming, the cries of derision and demands that Trump’s sick, deplorable supporters be branded from almost every “respected” source.  We’d better get back to the destruction of every freedom, every blessing God bestowed, so Hollywood, the universities, the sports franchises and mainstream media can breathe a breath of relief.  Stand for God’s Word, accept history at face value, make some politically incorrect utterance, and face banishment for life.  And that’s only so far.  They never give up and will replace every last one of us eventually.  They demand that we vouch for a pack of lies.  And if not, our replacements have already arrived.

Easter is just a few days away. What a blow it would be to the established traditions if the world came to understand that the resurrection of Jesus Christ, yes it happened, did not occur on a Sunday morning but rather on a late Saturday (Sabbath) afternoon, three days, and three nights after His death and burial on the previous Wednesday in the late afternoon. That knowledge would turn traditional belief on it’s head. Well, that’s the way it was. And the facts surveyed in the following article prove it.
