Abolish The Police, The Way Things Ought to Be, Theonomy

The Best Thing You Will Read All Week

Bojidar Marinov posted this article

https://fee.org/articles/immigration-controls-are-socialist/

about how closed borders (the position of Republicans, Democrats and the vast majority of idolatrous, American Christianity) is the socialist position.

A guy objects to the fact that immigration controls are socialist by saying, “Yeah, well we no longer live in a time of peace, border control is necessary….”

Bo says, “It’s the other way around. We don’t live in a time of peace exactly because of the same ideology which also promotes closed borders. As long as we have closed borders, we will have no peace. God doesn’t grant peace to those who rebel against His Law.”

Kiss the Son, lest He be angry.

Abolish The Police, Abortion, Police Abuse, Power Trip

Like I Said

This is great, from Bojidar Marinov.

The laws against abortion are on the books in every state. Roe v. Wade was actually the SCOTUS vs. the State of Texas. Under the state laws of at least 35 states, abortions are still illegal. Sheriffs are not elected to serve the Supreme Court. They serve their counties, and thus, they enforce the laws of their counties and states, not opinions of the Supreme Court. Therefore, if these Sheriffs were what they said they were, they would enforce the laws of their counties and states.

Modern police has supplanted what America originally had: citizen’s militia. The real authority, morally and constitutionally, is that citizen’s militia of the Second Amendment, and the courts. That authority has been de facto taken away from them, and given to an institution of executive power – the police.

I am calling the people back to their Biblical and Constitutional origins. I never said that individual citizens are supposed to shut the abortion clinics. But I am saying that we are supposed all, as individual citizens, to work and fight to restore the Biblical order. In a Biblical order, the citizen’s militia will suppress any attempt at setting up abortion clinics. Under the current order, police keeps them open, and that is what I use to prove that this social order is not Biblical.

Yes, eventually we will get to shutting down the abortion clinics, in defiance of the Supreme Court. Meanwhile, there is work to be done: educate the people to know why the current situation persists, and why they can’t change it. One reason: they believe police is a legitimate authority. They need to break free of that lie. It is not. Police is an occupation army, and we should treat it as one. That is, shrewdly and carefully undermine its authority until the time is ripe to abolish it. And yes, eventually, we as citizens will shut down the clinics.

The issue is timing not consistency. Paul knew slavery would be abolished one day. He just started the fight strategically, not stupidly.

Read my article on “Paul’s Political Debate Against Augustus.” And listen to my lectures from the Freedom Conference earlier this year.

Abolish The Police, Police Abuse, Power Trip

White People

More unarmed black guys have been killed by police and blacks are rioting and destroying things.

One thing that Bojidar Marinov points out is that it is completely inconsistent to celebrate the Boston Tea Party and decry the current rioting going on. At least $2.5 million worth of tea was destroyed at the Boston Tea Party.

I talk to my friends, who are all white, and they’re scared of doing anything to rebel against the government, and I can certainly see why; the government is violent. But the black rioters don’t seem to be scared of anything.

I think they are not applying their energy in the right direction. They need to go break innocent people out of jail or organize a way to respond rapidly when the cops show up to evict someone for not paying their property or income taxes.

Another Police Victim

Here’s wise words from Bojidar Marinov

bm

Since I was asked to weigh in on Terence Crutcher’s murder, I would offer the following:

No one should be surprised that cops are murderers in cold blood. That’s what police was created for in the first place – to subjugate a free people. Just like government schools, government welfare, government central banks and currency, government regulations, government security – that is, police – was created to serve the government against its own citizens.

What will be much more worthy of our attention, though, will be the actions of the prosecution, which will find ways to save the murderer from justice. And then watch the police unions. When they step in to support the murderer, and no individual cops speak up against this support, you will know exactly how many good cops are there in Oklahoma. That is, ZERO.

Thus, all the talk about “better training” is useless. Better training on thugs in uniforms will only make them more skillful thugs. The truth is, police must be abolished. It’s a standing army, the arm of tyranny.

Bojidar’s Recommended Reading

This is Bojidar Marinov’s recommended reading list for Christian reconstruction. I’ve read a few on this list, but I still have a ways to go. He can definitely recommend books faster than I can read them.

Many of these can be had for free at Gary North’s Free Books.

 

A Recommended Reading List for Starters

November 13, 2011 at 5:57pm

 

A few weeks ago, I received a letter from a mother of two very young children who wanted to start reading so that she could train them in a thoroughly Biblical worldview. I sent her the following reply which I post here, in case some of my friends find it helpful:

Hi, R.,

Thank you very much for your encouragement! Yes, I understand how you would feel at the very beginning when you see a whole world of new ideas that really make sense but you don’t know where to start from. Here are my suggestions:

The best book to start from is Gary North’s Unconditional Surrender. It gives a short but comprehensive overview for our message – what the Bible says about God, man, time, law, what it says about the institutions (family, church, state, economy), and what it says about history and future, and our job here. Then I would also go to an old but excellent book of Gary North’s, 75 Bible Questions. It covers three sections of 25 questions each: Sovereignty, God’s or Man’s?, Law: God’s or Man’s?, The Kingdom: God’s or Man’s?

On the Law of God, start with R.J. Rushdoony, By What Standard, Greg Bahnsen, By This Standard and No Other Standard. Then, prepare for some fat books: R.J. Rushdoony,Institutes of Biblical Law – the foundational book of the Christian Reconstruction. Then, you need to take on four other fat books (but they are broken into chapters and very easy to read), Gary North’s first four volumes of his economic commentary of the Bible: The Dominion Covenant (on Genesis), Moses and Pharaoh (on the Exodus), The Sinai Strategy(on the Ten Commandments), and Tools for Dominion (on the case laws in Exodus 21-40). The books look intimidating but once you get into reading the first one, you will be excited by the new information you are learning.

On eschatology, my favorite one is Kenneth Gentry, He Shall Have Dominion. It is a defense of postmillennialism, very thorough, very academic. But there is a simpler book for starters, and it is David Chilton’s Paradise Restored – and that’s what I would advise you to start with. Kenneth Gentry also has The Greatness of the Great Commission, and I tell you, he does a great job in explaining the meaning of the Great Commission. I would also add Dennis Peacocke, Winning the Battle for the Minds of Men here.

On social action, I will recommend Gary North, Liberating Planet Earth which is part of the Biblical Blueprint Series. (The whole BBS is very good: short books, almost like textbooks, and they have been very helpful for my people in Bulgaria. I will mention some of the other BBS books later.) Gary DeMar, God and Government has been a great resource to homeschoolers – it is like textbook, and explains both the Biblical principles for government, and how America was founded. Gary North’s Tactics of Christian Resistance and Theology of Christian Resistance deserve your time too. Also, R.J. Rushdoony, Politics of Guilt and Pity, Christianity and the State, and Salvation and Godly Rule. A Book that you need to read and also give to your pastor is Herbert Schlossberg, Idols for Destruction.

On business and work, I strongly recommend Dennis Peacocke, Almighty and Sons: Doing Business God’s Way. Also, sign up for Gary North’s articles on garynorth.com. The forums there are great – many people sharing their expertise from a Christian perspective. Other books you need to read: Ian Hodge, Making Sense of Your Dollars, Terry Applegate,A Christian View of Vocation.

On economics, in addition to North’s economic commentary on the Bible, a great book isIntroduction to Christian Economics. In the Biblical Blueprints Series you will find his Inherit the Earth and Honest Money. (You have to read Honest Money, and I mean Y’ALL, both you and your husband, in these times.) R.J. Rushdoony’s CD series, Economics, Money and Hope is a great resource too. Find also Stephen Perks, The Political Economy of the Christian Society, David Chilton, Productive Christians in an Age of Guilt-Manipulators, and Ian Hodge, Baptized Inflation.

On family and education, Biblical Blueprint Series has Robert Thoburn, Children Trap, and Ray Sutton, Who Owns the Family? God or State? You have to read R.J. Rushdoony,The Philosophy of Christian Curriculum, and Stephen Perks, The Philosophy of Christian Education Explained. Two books will give you a good idea of what the public schools are: R.J. Rushdoony, The Messianic Character of American Education, and Bruce Shortt, The Harsh Truth About Public Schools. To get an idea about how a subject can be taught from a Christian perspective, get James Nickel’s Mathematics: Is God Silent?

On history, nothing beats R.J. Rushdoony’s CD set, A Christian Survey of World History, and his book, The Biblical Philosophy of History. As an American Christian, you need to read John Chamberlain, Enterprising Americans. There is more on history but I will give you more titles later, as you progress.

On psychology, R.J. Rushdoony’s Revolt Against Maturity – an excellent book, and you will learn how to evaluate yourself and your children from a Biblical perspective.

On apologetics, Greg Bahnsen is the authority: Always Ready is a simple and excellent book, Presuppositional Apologetics is more complex and academic. Pushing the Antithesiswill teach you how to defeat the enemy before they know what has come upon them.

On theology, R.J. Rushdoony, Systematic Theology and Sovereignty. You need to become familiar with John Calvin’s Institutes of Christian Religion: that book changed Europe and shaped Europe and America beyond what most historians are willing to admit.

If you need audios, the best place to go is http://www.pocketcollege.com/index.htm – over 2,000 hours of Rushdoony’s lectures!

The websites where you need regularly go for resources are http://chalcedon.edu andhttp://americanvision.org.

In all those books I am recommending above, there will be additional bibliography that will help you expand the list. If you need to consult me on a specific book or topic, don’t hesitate to email me.

Economics 101

Motivation For Racism

Who has an incentive and motivation to foment racism? Is it big business and capitalists or government or labor unions. I’ve never thought about this before, but Bojidar Marinov obviously has. Here’s what he said:

bm

Corporations didn’t create racism and don’t support it today. If anything, it was the rich Northern magnates of the 19th century who supported abolitionism and backed up the War between the States. There is absolutely no economic logic behind racism from the perspective of the corporations. The corporations want (1) a larger and more equalized pool of consumers; and (2) a larger supply of qualified workers. Neither is served by racism.

The real culprits behind racism are Big Labor and Big Government. Big Labor wants a smaller pool of available workers in order to have a better negotiating position. Big Government wants a divided population which would be focused on its internal divisions, and not on issues of justice. Both are served by racism.

The Biblical solution is libertarianism: Get the government out of the market altogether. Some employers may be racist and refuse to hire blacks. Thus, their marginal rates of hiring will be higher, for they will choose from a smaller pool of available workers. Other employers will take advantage of it and will hire mainly blacks.

Blacks were better off when there was no government to control the market.

Kaepernick Kerfuffle

This website specializes in outlining abuses by police. Police abuse people of all colors for breaking unjust laws or sometimes for doing nothing wrong at all (Freddie Gray). Collin Kaepernick, QB for the 49ers, has been attacked for not standing for the national anthem in the last week, and conservative claws have come out. I want to go over some of their inconsistencies, and I don’t necessarily want to defend Kaepernick, but I want to ask my conservative friends this question: What does this country have to do before you stop singing its praises and pledging your allegiance to it? I hope you’ll think about it and answer that question for yourself, because that time has come and gone for me.

So I’m going to post some of the arguments I’ve seen against Kaepernick’s actions and respond to them.

Image result for kaepernick anthem memes

To answer the question, you’d have to ask whether the wars we’ve fought recently are just wars. My heart is broken over that fact that the war in Afghanistan and Iraq are unjust wars and they’re wars we’ve lost. Americans have died and bled and will be affected for the rest of their lives for an unjust, unbiblical war, and it’s all been a waste, because we’ve been defeated. Iraq and Afghanistan were better off in 2001, and millions of their lives have been lost. Since it is an unjust war, I believe their death was murder.  I take no pleasure in saying it. It’s terrible to think about, but I lay the blame at the feet of Christian pastors.

When we talk about just or unjust wars, we’re talking about justice. God determines what justice is. God’s law defines justice. Christians are the ones who have God’s law, and if they don’t teach what a just war is, then no one will know. Not only did they fail to teach what God requires for a just war, they were rooting for us to start those wars.

As far as how much money Kaepernick makes, that is completely irrelevant. Here’s what Bojidar Marinov had to say about that:

“Folks, most of the Founding Fathers were wealthy, and some were quite rich.

That didn’t stop them from saying that Americans were oppressed under the Crown, nor did it stop them from rebelling against that Crown . . . let alone from refusing to stand for “God Save the King.”

Just because a person is rich doesn’t mean they shouldn’t make any statements about justice.”

So, I don’t consider either Kaepernick or Glen Coffee to be a hero.

You obviously shouldn’t be bothered by someone praying, though many were. The problem for me with this meme is that it seems as though they’re saying that you should be bothered by Kaepernick and you shouldn’t be bothered by Tebow–as if standing for the national anthem is an equal duty to praying. If that’s what they’re saying, that would be blasphemy.

Here’s another argument I’ve seen (that doesn’t have a meme). Standing for the national anthem is our duty, because so many soldiers have died for our rights.

Did the soldiers die for our right to abort unborn babies? Did they die for our right to have the government steal from other people so that we can have Obamacare and public schooling and food stamps (socialistic redistribution of wealth)? At what point is standing for the flag an insult to their sacrifice on the battlefield?

Another argument I’ve seen over and over is if you don’t love America, leave it. There’s even a song about it:

It’s complete BS. Did George Washington love Great Britain or leave it? No. He threw off the shackles of his tyranny. Most of the founders were wealthy and powerful (like Kaepernick). They didn’t leave their country, but stood up for justice (which is a stand for what’s right and Godly). Who is saying the founding fathers are a bunch of wealthy crybabies? Shouldn’t they have just shut up and been grateful they lived in a country that allowed them to become wealthy?

FB_IMG_1468098625075

Kaepernick says that black people are being abused by police. THEY ARE, and so are white people. It’s just that black people seem to be the only ones who care that they’re being murdered. Eric Garner was choked to death for selling loose cigarettes. The cops who murdered him faced no consequences. If that was the only instance of injustice, I’d be angry. But there are dozens of such instances of people of many colors.

There are some people who  have 2 Chronicles 7:14 yard signs in front of their house. It would be interesting to knock on their door and see what they think about Collin Kaepernick. Most of them would start ranting and raving and foaming at the mouth about how disrespectful Kaepernick is. Rather than humbling themselves, and praying and seeking God’s face and turning from their wicked ways, they will arrogantly ignore Kaepernick’s grievance. That is the opposite of what this country needs.

Here’s what 2 Chronicles 7:14 doesn’t say, but which does typify most reactions to Kaepernick I’ve seen. As long as this is the case–as long as Christians behave like a bunch of statist idolaters, God will not relent in bringing His judgment as the previous verse (verse 13) says.

If my people who are called by my name will arrogantly ignore criticism of their country and tell anyone with a grievance to get out, I will heal their land.

Republican Policies are Democrat Policies from 20 Years Ago

Clinton’s policy in 1996 was Marxist. Marx wanted government to control the borders of England to prevent Irish workers coming in and increasing the supply of laborers.

Clinton’s policy there is alarmingly similar to Trump’s current policy. No wonder liberals have been kicking our butts when our own “heroes” are stealing their socialist ideas and slowly moving us to the left. We move left, and Democrats move farther left. Forgive me for thinking that in 2036 the Republican presidential candidate will be taking a strong stand to protect Obamacare.

People need to educate themselves. The video below is step one on educating yourself on what the Bible teaches on immigration. If you can, take notes and send them to me. I wish I had taken notes the first time I listened. But that’s okay, because these lectures are worth listening to again.
