On dissolution:

If the Left takes over, they will not allow dissolution; they will think Lincoln gave them the authority to wage tyrannical war against all separatists.

If Trumpism somehow continues after 2024, with the likes of Pence and/or Rand Paul, California and New England will want to secede. As long as we develop a technological border wall with them, and can negotiate a fair financial process, they can go. The timeline: in the 2030s or 2040s, a USA in the heartland, surrounded by a series of socialist coastal city-state hell-holes.

“Thus, middle aged people who were mildly centrist in 2016 are more conservative in 2020. And they’re probably pissed at what they see in the nation.”

Yet they could not turn out to vote this election? While we did pick up Senate seats, if there is this simmering despite, it was not born out in WV, AZ, MT and barely in FL. I’ll toss in GA as an example of a ignorant loud abrasive ridiculous candidate who almost flipped a governorship.

One thing we better do is get hold of election procedures because our race to provide more opportunities for people to vote has only created more opportunities for people to cheat. And they do in large numbers. AZ is a prime example.

Can’t argue against the article

And anybody who believes the rational that the election wasn’t really a Blue Wave is living in a fools paradise

I agree with everything you said, except the part about the "split."

Communism doesn't work well with splits. It has to control everything and even build walls to keep its citizens inside the prison.

If this country were split into blue and red states, the citizens of the blue would try to escape to the red country just as soon as they discover that communism doesn't work.

That's why the communist agenda includes the extermination of all who refuse to be re-educated.

The true believers of communism won't face it and communists who do face the truth know: communism is nothing but a system of bait and switch.

Communism promises equality and fairness. It delivers the tyranny of dictatorship.

Your reply was more interesting than Duke’s piece. He’s not a very good writer, IMO. Too much noise in his writing.

“The American people have at least 100 times as many personal weapons as their military.”

True, but they are not the same weapons with the same capabilities. The American people do not have advanced weaponry, air power or secured advanced communications and supply chains. The American people do not have heavy armored divisions or mechanized infantry. The government does have that...and much, much more. The American people are not going to defeat their government in a head to head fight. And if the Left gets full control, the mask comes off...they will use everything at their disposal to maintain their power...and they don’t care one whit about your “right to life.”

Beyond that the American people have no organizational orcommand structure, no means of supply or logistics chain capability...theyhave no geographic base of support that is organized into a command structure- even the Confederacy had that, and they didn’t succeed.

So I’d suggest that if we are going to fight the most technologically advanced government in the history of the world, we might wish to consider an organizational structure and a strategy that is somewhat asymmetrical in nature. Because a bunch of wahoo patriots running out into the streets with their rifles and ammo boxes are going to succeed at nothing but getting themselves killed. Hell, even Antifa knows to only go create mayhem in cities where the political structure that hires and pays the police is fully behind them...they do it in Portland, not Lubbock.

Presidential strength doesn't always translate into local strength. Alternatively, local weakness doesn't necessarily convey national weakness. To wit: Reagan, in the process of winning one of the greatest Presidential re-election landslides, STILL hadn't the coat tails to bring about a Republican House majority. Indeed, Reagan netted 54MM votes or 58% of the total (Mondale got 38MM). Further, Repubs flipped 16 House seats. Nonetheless, the aggregate Dem House vote of 43MM was 52% of the total and Dems picked up Senate sears. Same type of thing in 2012: Obama got 66MM votes/51% while Dem House members got 60MM votes yet remained in the minority.

I DO agree, that Repubs need to get a handle on fraud and be proactive. Dems seems to always have a "In Case of X Break Glass" plan. Lovers of liberty can't be flat footed in 2020.

>> “This name is Yahweh” <<

No, that gross error has been thoroughly debunked!

There is one name Yehova, found in numerous places in the oldest codicies with full vowels, and even on ancient clock towers in northern Europe, again with full vowels.

Yahweh is just an old hippie feel-good word.

Problem is we cannot read minds, and would likely end up with as many shills as patriots in our intelligence group.

The thing is, do we work like it all depends on us to turn it around or just lay back and say, "Otto's got it" like it's all on autopilot and pray like it all depends on Christ?

A large portion of the Bible concerns these days. It serves as both a spiritual and physical survival manual. Answers to your questions are inside its pages.

If these are those days; then, IMO, we here are living in a land called mystery Babylon, or daughter of Babylon, in prophecy.

Scripture warns and advises us of many things. Those living in mystery Babylon are warned to leave, to go back to their old countries, which tells me mystery Babylon is a new country, at least for many (i.e., America).

We are warned to live a righteous life, that we may prove worthy to earn a mark of protection. We are told when the time of judgement arrives, to go inside our dwellings, close the door and await its passing ("for a short time" means it's survival, at least for some, IMO) - hence the need to prep, to have all of your subsistence needs already met.

These are worldly; the need to get our spiritual house in order is paramount of course, as we're warned not to love our life here too much - tells me many will die.

Many convergences are taking place and I find it amazing so many are so close, yet remain incomplete. It must ALL gonna happen at once!

If we are indeed living in the "end times", then we are also being divided as prophesy warned us a day will come when, "His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor and gather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire." - Matt. 3:12.

Many think of this as the "end of time", "end of days", and etc. It is for some, and it is for government by man, but it's the beginning of a new era/epoch. The coming tribulation and woe ushers in the Almighty's earthly Kingdom, a time of peace and reconciliation; a time of righteousness unlike any recorded; far greater even than anything our founders envisioned for America.

When I read about the descriptions of mystery Babylon in the Bible, one which really gets my attention is the one describing her as "a gold cup in the hand of the LORD", in Jeremiah. To me, when joined with other descriptions, it points to America at our founding. It probably also means Israel, at its founding as well, since prophecies have a way of coming in pairs (e.g., the two sticks, the two lamp stands, the two witnesses, Passover and Crucifixion, etc.).

Like America in the tribulation, I believe Israel will also suffer tremendously in tribulation. I ponder if both Israel and America may even be the two witnesses prophecy mentions which are killed, later to return to life. Certainly Israel may be, and even America may be, given it will no longer be America, per se (as mystery Babylon is destroyed forever more), but may be part of God's new Kingdom here on earth.

I realize much of what I'm saying, you and many here already know. I write for those reading who aren't in the know as well.

In conclusion, we're in this shape because we as individuals did not "do something" and because our churches did not "do something" when we could have made a bigger difference.

Now we're so divided, actually so inter-grown with weeds among the wheat, that our only real hope, IMO, is to physically separate, if not to war, then to simply not suffer as much in the coming wrath. If not possible, then shelter in place. It's written:

"Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities." Rev. 18

Some may say this is a defeatist attitude. I say, "No", it is a realist's attitude. It's the true Words of God, as clear as I understand then, or know how to relay them.

Also, I'm a complete believer in 2 Chronicles 7:14. If we humbled ourselves and prayed and seek God's face, and turn from our wicked ways, I believe the Almighty WILL hear in heaven, forgive their sins, and heal our land.

And I believe He will update every scripture to reflect the changes, as I believe the scriptures are the living Words of the Almighty.

Have you ever noticed how when you reread a passage, its meaning seems to have changed, or you see something totally new you previously missed? Those are examples of what I mean. It is a sign of the Divine nature of scripture. In uninspired works, meanings never change.

Keep fighting the good fight. Know these things must pass. Comfort one another.

There are no concordance results for “Yahweh” in the KJV.

I don’t consider anything else but the KJV as the bible
the 1611 version or 1769 all other versions serve as convolutions to the word taking out verses or changing scripture sure its a little harder to learn and literal but it’s the closest to the greek interpretation your going to get for dynamic equivalency. In this case, the idea is to provide as close as possible, the original meaning

Rev 22:18 ¶ For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book

Rev 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

Perhaps you miss the point?

There are many “cop-outs” in the KJV, but whenever the received text has “YHVH” it refers to Yehova as found in every ancient codex, verified by the inserted ‘vowels’ found at irregular intervals throughout every ancient Hebrew codex in existance.

It corresponds to “The LORD” in the KJV.

And we are commanded to call out his name! (Joel)
