1
00:00:04,719 --> 00:00:10,939
Greetings. This is Pastor David Bass with New Geneva Orthodox Presbyterian Church

2
00:00:10,939 --> 00:00:16,359
with a moment of truth where we challenge you to think through an important issue of life and

3
00:00:16,359 --> 00:00:24,699
faith. Today, why we no longer believe you, Uncle Sam. I want to continue with this theme,

4
00:00:24,699 --> 00:00:31,739
why we no longer believe you, Uncle Sam. But first, I want to apprise you of a couple of

5
00:00:31,739 --> 00:00:37,500
scheduled things coming up at New Geneva Orthodox Presbyterian Church. And the thing

6
00:00:37,500 --> 00:00:43,200
I'm excited about is our Christmas Eve service. We haven't had one of these in a long time, but

7
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:53,759
New Geneva is planning a Christmas Eve service that's Sunday, December 24 at 5 p.m. in our

8
00:00:53,759 --> 00:00:59,659
sanctuary. And we're opening this up to the public. It's going to be a fun time. We have

9
00:00:59,659 --> 00:01:07,599
a lot of good readings, Christmas readings from the Bible, and chock full of hymns and songs for

10
00:01:07,599 --> 00:01:17,560
Christmas. We'll have candlelight, and it'll be a real meditative and holy Christmas Eve, we hope,

11
00:01:17,620 --> 00:01:23,099
for everybody who participates. A memorable time. And so we want to invite you to our Christmas Eve

12
00:01:23,099 --> 00:01:30,400
service at New Geneva Orthodox Presbyterian Church. That's on Christmas Eve, December 24, Sunday

13
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:38,439
evening at 5 p.m. And we are located at 101 4th Street. We're right in the corner of 4th and

14
00:01:38,439 --> 00:01:45,560
Boulevard. And bring your family, come by yourself if you want, but it's going to be a sweet meditative

15
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:52,379
time around Scripture and song and just some brief comments here and there as well. So we look forward

16
00:01:52,379 --> 00:02:00,640
to seeing you on that evening. Right now, I'd like to get back to my theme today, why we no longer

17
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:08,759
believe you, Uncle Sam. Our eyes are open. We are awake, and you no longer fool us. You no longer

18
00:02:08,759 --> 00:02:17,199
pull the wool over our eyes, Uncle Sam. Growing up, I had an uncle on my mother's side who my mother

19
00:02:17,199 --> 00:02:24,060
used to generously say, stretch the truth a little, she'd say. Yes. And hereafter, he's going to be

20
00:02:24,060 --> 00:02:30,639
referred to as Uncle Stretch, because that is precisely what our Uncle Sam does, our federal

21
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:37,039
government does. It stretches the truth a little, as my mother might say. For my Uncle Stretch, the fish

22
00:02:37,039 --> 00:02:41,819
that he caught were always bigger and tougher to catch than the rest of us thought, right? Other drivers

23
00:02:41,819 --> 00:02:47,780
were always ruder than human traffic. Oh, my Uncle Stretch's childhood was always more deprived than my

24
00:02:47,780 --> 00:02:53,219
other aunts and uncles were called theirs being. And whatever happened to you or whatever you had

25
00:02:53,219 --> 00:02:59,860
was never as sensational or as magnificent as his. He always managed to outdo you. That was my Uncle

26
00:02:59,860 --> 00:03:06,199
Stretch. In short, no one could fully trust what Uncle Stretch told them. If he said the sky was blue,

27
00:03:06,259 --> 00:03:11,539
we looked outside to see if it wasn't actually red. The same goes for Uncle Sam. The personification of

28
00:03:11,539 --> 00:03:16,780
the federal government of the United States of America, most Americans today agree with me, too.

29
00:03:17,180 --> 00:03:24,460
We have had enough experience with you, Uncle Sam, Uncle Stretch, to know that you not only stretch

30
00:03:24,460 --> 00:03:31,759
the truth, you break it in pieces with every new lie that you feed us. For example, listen closely. Uncle

31
00:03:31,759 --> 00:03:41,259
Sam, you say that you are the protector of women and their rights. Boy, has that come to a lie

32
00:03:41,259 --> 00:03:47,819
recently, hasn't it? We don't believe you anymore, Uncle Sam. Isn't this the most recent lie that we

33
00:03:47,819 --> 00:03:55,219
now see utterly a sham and a lie? Al Franken and John Conyers are two prominent examples of the rest

34
00:03:55,219 --> 00:04:02,020
of Congress. While piously holding forth upon the rights of women, for example, John Conyers recently

35
00:04:02,020 --> 00:04:07,500
tweeted, let's fight to ensure women have the equal ability to participate in the workplace. While

36
00:04:07,500 --> 00:04:13,759
tweeting this, John Conyers, you were sexually abusing and assaulting female congressional staff.

37
00:04:14,159 --> 00:04:19,740
How, pray tell, can they participate in the workplace when they're distracted by unwanted sexual

38
00:04:19,740 --> 00:04:25,939
advances by the likes of you, John Conyers, running around in your office in your underwear, according

39
00:04:25,939 --> 00:04:31,240
to the testimony of some of your former staff, 88-year-old man, you should be ashamed of yourself.

40
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:40,060
What we know now is that some 268 different cases of sexual harassment by any number of congressmen

41
00:04:40,060 --> 00:04:47,779
have been settled in secret for over $17 million of taxpayer dollars. What lies? What hypocrisy,

42
00:04:47,980 --> 00:04:54,639
Uncle Sam. Please spare us your lies that you advance and protect women and their rights. We do not

43
00:04:54,639 --> 00:05:02,240
believe you anymore, Uncle Sam, Uncle Stretch. Well, here's another lie that you tell us that we no longer

44
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:09,980
believe, Uncle Sam, that you are the guardian of our rights as given in the Constitution. We no longer

45
00:05:09,980 --> 00:05:15,779
believe you when you say this, Uncle Sam. We've had enough experience with you to know the opposite

46
00:05:15,779 --> 00:05:22,579
is true. For example, Uncle Sam, you say you are the protector of our First Amendment right to free

47
00:05:22,579 --> 00:05:30,180
speech. Liar. We don't believe you anymore, Uncle Sam. The First Amendment to the Constitution says in

48
00:05:30,180 --> 00:05:37,279
part that Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech or the press. In spite of this

49
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:44,420
explicit declaration, you seek to restrict our free speech through legislation euphemistically named

50
00:05:44,420 --> 00:05:52,160
net neutrality. That is where government cannot directly restrict content and access to the internet,

51
00:05:52,579 --> 00:05:59,560
but where private corporations with tacit government approval can and do censor content and access.

52
00:06:00,300 --> 00:06:09,060
So, liar. We no longer believe you, Uncle Sam. Net neutrality. Shmality. Also, if it had not been for

53
00:06:09,060 --> 00:06:15,540
the Supreme Court, Uncle Sam, the Supreme Court decision against the Federal Election Commission in the

54
00:06:15,540 --> 00:06:21,519
Citizens United case in 2010, Congress would have further restricted our free speech.

55
00:06:21,519 --> 00:06:28,560
in election campaigns by restricting the amounts of contributions made to advertisers for political ads

56
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:37,519
under various conditions. But fortunately, this draconian law was struck down. So, Uncle Sam, liar. We no longer

57
00:06:37,519 --> 00:06:44,180
believe you. Additionally, we have hanging over our heads the specter of the Fairness Doctrine, which would

58
00:06:44,180 --> 00:06:51,220
unfairly require any speech in any venue that gave an opinion on a political matter to give its opposing view,

59
00:06:51,220 --> 00:07:00,220
ostensibly, to be fair. Now, in the past, when this was in force, it was selectively enforced against conservatives

60
00:07:00,220 --> 00:07:08,180
and benignly neglected when applied to progressives. It is another example of the phenomenon of paradox labeling.

61
00:07:08,180 --> 00:07:14,579
Paradox labeling. Paradox labeling. That is, any government program or legislation is exactly the opposite

62
00:07:14,579 --> 00:07:22,819
of what it is named. Net neutrality is paradox labeling because it's not internet neutrality at all

63
00:07:22,819 --> 00:07:29,220
in any way, shape, or form. Fairness doctrine is paradox labeling because it is a doctrine that does not bring

64
00:07:29,220 --> 00:07:38,459
unfairness to media. Affordable health care. Health care is not affordable under this government act. It is a paradox

65
00:07:38,459 --> 00:07:48,160
labeling. So is Patriot Act. It is the opposite of what they label it to be. So, Uncle Sam, Uncle Stretch, liar.

66
00:07:48,519 --> 00:07:56,019
We no longer believe you, Uncle Sam, Uncle Stretch. Here's another lie that you feed us, Uncle Sam.

67
00:07:56,019 --> 00:08:05,259
Uncle Sam. Uncle Sam, you say that you protect our freedom of religion. Liar. We do not believe you

68
00:08:05,259 --> 00:08:12,680
anymore. The First Amendment to the Constitution also assures us, in part, that Congress shall make no law

69
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:20,519
respecting the establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, unquote. Yet at every turn,

70
00:08:20,519 --> 00:08:27,279
Uncle Sam, you obliterate and restrict every expression of Christianity from the public square

71
00:08:27,279 --> 00:08:34,720
in the United States of America, while implicitly exalting atheism and hatred of traditional

72
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:42,419
Christianity at every turn. Additionally, you encourage militant Islam by calling it a cultural

73
00:08:42,419 --> 00:08:49,639
alternative rather than a religion. And in the meantime, militant political Islam grows here in

74
00:08:49,639 --> 00:08:57,480
America in vast Islamic ghettos as it preaches its own application of religion to society and what is

75
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:06,259
called Sharia law. Hypocrites, liars, Uncle Sam, we no longer believe you. You spread a layer of

76
00:09:06,259 --> 00:09:15,039
historical amnesia across our collective consciousness like a thin, sticky veneer, telling us we were never a

77
00:09:15,039 --> 00:09:21,340
Christian nation at our roots when the record, when it is examined objectively, plainly states that we

78
00:09:21,340 --> 00:09:27,740
were. Your public schools, with the Department of Education and the Captain's Tower of the ship,

79
00:09:28,700 --> 00:09:35,500
your public schools revise history to tell us we were founded as a racist, fascist country that has

80
00:09:35,500 --> 00:09:42,580
oppressed and plundered the earth. In fact, our founding documents tell us otherwise. Though admittedly

81
00:09:42,580 --> 00:09:49,539
imperfect, our charter, which also includes the Declaration of Independence in addition to the

82
00:09:49,539 --> 00:09:56,279
Constitution, everyone has embraced this in the past, the Declaration says it establishes principles

83
00:09:56,279 --> 00:10:01,720
that have brought more liberty to the world than any other nation in history because it says in part,

84
00:10:01,879 --> 00:10:08,340
we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their

85
00:10:08,340 --> 00:10:14,539
creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of

86
00:10:14,539 --> 00:10:23,259
happiness. Famously, right? That creator, that creator who has given us unalienable rights is

87
00:10:23,259 --> 00:10:30,620
implicitly understood to be the God of the Christian Bible. Our early colonial legislatures and Congress

88
00:10:30,620 --> 00:10:36,340
itself, as well as the executive and judicial branches, were soaked in Christian principle,

89
00:10:36,340 --> 00:10:42,879
prayer, and piety. Yes, the federal government in its early days was soaked in Christian principle,

90
00:10:42,879 --> 00:10:49,500
prayer, and piety. And the Establishment Clause, that is, Congress shall make no law respecting the

91
00:10:49,500 --> 00:10:55,860
establishment of religion, spoke specifically and narrowly to keep the federal government from making

92
00:10:55,860 --> 00:11:01,759
one Christian denomination, the state religion, as it had been in England. They were fleeing from this.

93
00:11:01,759 --> 00:11:09,879
They were holding this at bay, they were. Otherwise, Christians in particular had complete liberty to

94
00:11:09,879 --> 00:11:17,980
practice their faith in every sphere of America's life, including government and politics. So, Uncle Sam,

95
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:26,919
Uncle Stretch, because you stretch the truth. Remember, Uncle Stretch was my lying uncle. Well, my lying

96
00:11:26,919 --> 00:11:34,879
uncle in Washington, D.C., Uncle Sam is also an Uncle Stretch, and your understanding of the separation of

97
00:11:34,879 --> 00:11:41,139
church and state, Uncle Stretch, is not in the Constitution, nor in the thoughts and intent of the

98
00:11:41,139 --> 00:11:48,960
authors of that Constitution. You lie when you say it is. We no longer believe you, Uncle Sam. The devil was

99
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:56,720
the first liar, the father of lies, and you in Washington, D.C. are his children. Well, Uncle Sam,

100
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:04,120
Uncle Stretch, you also profess to be guardian of the Second Amendment, the right of the people to keep

101
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:12,720
and bear arms, right? Liar. We the people no longer believe you. We the people know what you would do

102
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:19,759
if we let you. The history of government is one of tyranny and oppression, where those who gravitate to

103
00:12:19,759 --> 00:12:26,899
power somehow succumbing to the blandishments of the evil one who first hissed to Eve, you shall become as

104
00:12:26,899 --> 00:12:35,460
gods. And such, most of a lot of you who go to Washington, D.C. think you are. You think you are gods. You

105
00:12:35,460 --> 00:12:43,539
mimic the attributes of God. God is all-powerful. It's called his omnipotence. God is all-powerful,

106
00:12:43,539 --> 00:12:50,000
and you grasp at this attribute by seizing all of the reins of power you can. And it's never enough

107
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:57,059
for you. You will not, and you cannot cease in grasping after power over us until you're stopped

108
00:12:57,059 --> 00:13:03,419
dead in your tracks by the people. And that is why we need our guns, Uncle Sam. That is why the Founding

109
00:13:03,419 --> 00:13:09,500
Fathers wrote this liberty into the Constitution. And that is why you need to take them away from us,

110
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:17,080
our guns. You must seize our guns, not to keep us safe, but to keep your encroachment of our liberties

111
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:26,960
safe, to keep that a safe enterprise. So, Uncle Sam, Uncle Stretch, when you tell us you want to take our guns

112
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:34,980
for our own safety or to reduce crime, yes, you want to take our guns to reduce crime. Look at the stringent

113
00:13:34,980 --> 00:13:42,159
crime and gun laws that are in Chicago, the worst in the nation, and yet they have the highest murder rate

114
00:13:42,159 --> 00:13:47,860
in the nation as well. Or you want to take our guns away because in the face of mass shootings, we must do

115
00:13:47,860 --> 00:13:55,860
something. You wring your hands. You cry out in hysteria. We must do something. No, Uncle Sam.

116
00:13:55,860 --> 00:14:04,059
No, Uncle Stretch. We must not do something. We must do the right thing. We must think this through.

117
00:14:04,139 --> 00:14:11,399
We must give the citizens back their guns in places like Chicago. So, Uncle Sam, we no longer believe

118
00:14:11,399 --> 00:14:18,240
you when you tell us these things. You're a liar. You are of your father, the devil, who is the father

119
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:27,759
of lies. Well, also, Uncle Sam, Uncle Stretch, you tell us that you are the guardian of the Fourth

120
00:14:27,759 --> 00:14:33,559
Amendment, which secures us in our persons, houses, papers, and effects, as the Constitution says,

121
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:39,720
as that Fourth Amendment says, which secures us in our persons, houses, papers, and effects. That is,

122
00:14:40,100 --> 00:14:45,539
it gives us our right to, it acknowledges, doesn't give it to us, it acknowledges our right

123
00:14:45,539 --> 00:14:54,120
to live private lives. You, Uncle Sam, you, Uncle Stretch, tell us that you're the guardian of this

124
00:14:54,120 --> 00:15:02,100
amendment. We say liar. We no longer believe you, Uncle Sam. And I have three letters for you to

125
00:15:02,100 --> 00:15:12,200
prove this, Uncle Sam. NSA, the National Security Agency, right? President Truman founded the NSA back

126
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:20,580
in 1952 in complete secrecy. We haven't known about it until recently. Your website for the NSA, Uncle Sam,

127
00:15:20,659 --> 00:15:27,940
tells us, and I quote, now that cyberspace is the primary arena in which we protect information,

128
00:15:28,559 --> 00:15:35,659
we, get that, we protect information. No, you gather and use information against us, NSA.

129
00:15:35,659 --> 00:15:43,360
They go on to say, we are working towards shaping an agile and secure operational cyber environment

130
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:50,820
where we can successfully outmaneuver any adversary, unquote. Oh, yes, I should say so. And that includes

131
00:15:50,820 --> 00:15:59,379
us as an adversary. The American people, NSA, the voracious appetite with which the NSA sucks up

132
00:15:59,379 --> 00:16:06,759
information in cyberspace means that at just about any time they choose, they may access any activity

133
00:16:06,759 --> 00:16:12,799
that can be electronically recorded. And that includes every keystroke, every tweet, every text,

134
00:16:12,899 --> 00:16:19,659
every phone call we make. We already know that it is your purpose to dominate the human domain,

135
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:26,139
as it is referred to, and complete awareness of all that we communicate as Americans,

136
00:16:26,139 --> 00:16:33,659
as citizens of the United States, is a giant step towards that goal. Your aspiration to be as God's,

137
00:16:33,659 --> 00:16:41,460
as we pointed out earlier, achieving omniscience as well. Not only omnipotence, not only being all

138
00:16:41,460 --> 00:16:49,039
powerful, but also achieving omniscience, that is being all-knowing. That is your aspiration to be as

139
00:16:49,039 --> 00:16:53,940
God's. It is your impulse. It is your necessity. If you are going to be as God's, you must achieve

140
00:16:53,940 --> 00:17:01,460
omniscience. You must be all-knowing, federal government, Uncle Sam. Omniscience is an attribute

141
00:17:01,460 --> 00:17:09,220
of the God of the Bible, and every petty devil tries to mimic it in its grasp for power. That is your life.

142
00:17:09,559 --> 00:17:17,380
This is your life, Uncle Sam, Uncle Stretch, to be omniscient, to be all-knowing, and the NSA is one

143
00:17:17,380 --> 00:17:24,900
of your vehicles towards achieving that end. In addition, all lesser gods seek this attribute

144
00:17:24,900 --> 00:17:31,900
as well, not only the federal Uncle Sam, but also Google, Facebook, Amazon, and on and on we could go.

145
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:39,880
They scoop up and they store everything about us in order to sell, troll, and control as much of what we

146
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:45,960
are as possible, don't they? They sell, troll, and control as much of what we are as they can.

147
00:17:46,799 --> 00:17:53,740
Is there no privacy anymore? That's a true rhetorical question, isn't it? Is there no privacy

148
00:17:53,740 --> 00:18:01,720
anymore? No, there is not. So, Uncle Sam, Uncle Stretch, when you tell us that you wish to secure us

149
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:08,880
in our persons, houses, papers, and effects, that is, secure our right to live private lives,

150
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:18,359
we no longer believe you. Liar. Also, Uncle Sam, Uncle Stretch, remember Uncle Stretch was the nickname

151
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:25,039
given to one of my maternal uncles who had trouble with the truth. Uncle Sam, Uncle Stretch,

152
00:18:25,140 --> 00:18:31,640
when you tell us that you are protecting us from terrorism and terrorists, we no longer believe you.

153
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:39,240
Liar. If you were truly interested in securing us, you would close our borders to illegal immigration,

154
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:45,339
for example. You would build a wall on our southern border, you would deport those here illegally,

155
00:18:45,339 --> 00:18:52,039
and you would lock up dangerous felons. So, please don't tell us that a wall would not work.

156
00:18:52,559 --> 00:18:58,099
Tell that to Mexico, they have a wall on their southern border, meanwhile flooding our northern border

157
00:18:58,099 --> 00:19:05,440
with illegals. And tell us that a wall would not work. We do not believe you. Tell that to Israel,

158
00:19:05,759 --> 00:19:12,400
which when it built a wall on its border with Palestinian Gaza, saw a dramatic drop in terrorism

159
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:17,519
from there. And also tell that to the ancient Chinese, who effectively screened out barbarians

160
00:19:17,519 --> 00:19:23,299
for centuries with the Great Wall of China. And tell that to the Roman Emperor Hadrian as well,

161
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:31,319
who kept out the wild Scots and Picts for a century. He did this with his wall, Hadrian's wall.

162
00:19:31,319 --> 00:19:38,019
So, on and on we could go. If you were truly interested in minimizing terror in the United

163
00:19:38,019 --> 00:19:45,039
States, Uncle Sam, Uncle Stretch, you would implement President Trump's travel ban on immigrants from

164
00:19:45,039 --> 00:19:51,539
known hotbeds of Islamic militancy. You would do things like end the visa lottery program that allowed

165
00:19:51,539 --> 00:19:58,779
in that terrorist in New York City a while back. And you would also carefully profile individuals,

166
00:19:58,779 --> 00:20:04,920
Uncle Sam. You would carefully profile individuals seeking to enter the country, even as Israel has

167
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:11,759
done effectively over the decades, minimizing terror and terrorists within its border. You would track

168
00:20:11,759 --> 00:20:19,400
down known hotbeds of radicalism in this country, like mosques with radical imams, or individuals you

169
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:25,220
have already identified as being radicalized, and they're just ticking time bombs waiting to go off,

170
00:20:25,220 --> 00:20:31,640
so to speak. You would wake up, Uncle Sam, if you were truly interested in protecting us

171
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:38,359
and minimizing terror in the United States. You would wake up from your hypnotic slumber of political

172
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:46,900
correctness, and you would do the practical things that work. Instead, that agency charged with securing

173
00:20:46,900 --> 00:20:54,940
us is another wonder of paradox labeling, isn't it? Paradox labeling. Homeland security, when it is

174
00:20:54,940 --> 00:21:01,900
actually just the opposite of its name. Paradox labeling. Homeland security you have given to this

175
00:21:01,900 --> 00:21:10,339
agency. Not only is our homeland not secure, but this agency is training us, citizens, into compliant

176
00:21:10,339 --> 00:21:18,220
sheep, easy to control, and herd, later into compounds camps and cosmopolitan centers, right?

177
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:25,940
You are training us to be compliant sheep, easy to control, and herd into compounds camps and

178
00:21:25,940 --> 00:21:34,960
cosmopolitan centers. Homeland security. Homeland security now strips, grasps, and gropes, pushes,

179
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:42,160
and prods us in security lines at airports, and stadium events, and now even at open air malls and city

180
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:49,220
squares, like the lighting of the Christmas tree in New York City here recently. And when the time comes,

181
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:56,960
dear listener, know that Uncle Sam is planning this for sure. When the time comes, Homeland Security

182
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:03,579
will see to it that we will be more than ready to go to the trains, to march into the camps,

183
00:22:03,579 --> 00:22:09,200
and to line up to go into the showers, just like they did at Dachau and Treblinka.

184
00:22:10,660 --> 00:22:17,599
The prime directive of homeland security is securing Uncle Sam against we, the people. Make no mistake

185
00:22:17,599 --> 00:22:23,900
about this. Prime directive of homeland security is not securing us, the citizens of this country,

186
00:22:24,039 --> 00:22:30,079
but the prime directive of homeland security is securing Uncle Sam against we, the people.

187
00:22:30,079 --> 00:22:37,000
And this is abundantly evident to us in the way in which you keep information from us too as well.

188
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:45,420
Uncle Sam, Uncle Stretch. For example, it is clear after all these years that there was more than one

189
00:22:45,420 --> 00:22:53,400
shooter at Dealey Plaza in 1963 when President Kennedy was assassinated. We know this now from the documents

190
00:22:53,400 --> 00:23:01,460
released from the CIA and the FBI by President Trump. So we don't believe you anymore in anything,

191
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:08,900
Uncle Sam, Uncle Stretch. It is also clear from eyewitness testimony too and digital recordings

192
00:23:08,900 --> 00:23:14,240
of both sight and sound and the contradictory briefings by law enforcement that there were

193
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:20,839
multiple shooters in Las Vegas as well on October 1st. And yet what are we told? That there was only one

194
00:23:20,839 --> 00:23:30,579
shooter. Again, even as it was in Dallas in 1963. Please stop insulting the intelligence of the American

195
00:23:30,579 --> 00:23:40,200
public, Uncle Sam. Tell us the truth. You're liars. We don't believe you anymore. Uncle Sam, Uncle Stretch,

196
00:23:40,759 --> 00:23:46,180
when you tell us you are protecting us from terrorism and terrorists, we don't believe you anymore.

197
00:23:46,180 --> 00:23:55,579
You are true sons of your father, the devil, who is a liar from the beginning and the father of lies.

198
00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:03,480
This is who you are, Uncle Sam. Uncle Sam and Uncle Stretch, when you tell us there is no deep state,

199
00:24:03,660 --> 00:24:09,700
as we call it, or no shadow government, as it's sometimes called, or no stay-behind government of

200
00:24:09,700 --> 00:24:17,819
Obama bureaucrats to frustrate and delay the program of President Trump. We say, liar, we don't believe

201
00:24:17,819 --> 00:24:24,039
you anymore. There is indeed a deep state, a stay-behind government, a fourth branch of government,

202
00:24:24,220 --> 00:24:31,200
as Mark Levin calls it, which indeed it is. It is obvious to us by now, Uncle Sam, that you,

203
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:38,720
the arrogant, evil, lying federal system. You have your own agenda, and it is not the agenda of the

204
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:45,039
American people. We, the people. Your agenda is for yourselves and for growing government bigger

205
00:24:45,039 --> 00:24:53,480
and bigger, more oppressive and more tyrannical all the time. So, Uncle Sam, we do not believe you

206
00:24:53,480 --> 00:25:01,839
anymore when you tell us that you serve us. No, you are serving us, all right. You are serving us up.

207
00:25:02,619 --> 00:25:10,000
Rare, medium, or well done is how you're serving us, and you intend indeed to use us for your own

208
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:16,779
advantage to grow your own power and wealth and status in order that you might become, as Satan

209
00:25:16,779 --> 00:25:23,440
whispered to Eve, to become as gods. So, we no longer believe you. We no longer believe your

210
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:31,859
mouthpieces in the media, and we will develop our own alternatives as well. Well,

211
00:25:32,859 --> 00:25:40,019
this has been Pastor David Bass at New Geneva Orthodox Presbyterian Church, and I'd just like

212
00:25:40,019 --> 00:25:46,339
to take the time here a few moments in closing to remind you that we are having a Christmas Eve

213
00:25:46,339 --> 00:25:55,759
special. We're having a Christmas Eve service on Sunday evening, December 24 at 5 p.m. in our sanctuary,

214
00:25:55,759 --> 00:26:03,839
and we'll have hymns and songs and readings, candlelight service as well. So, it'll be a great

215
00:26:03,839 --> 00:26:10,680
meditative time for you and your family to kind of prepare and seal Christmas Eve to your hearts and

216
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:17,980
minds and also make Christmas that much more joyous. So, we invite you at 101 4th Street on the corner of

217
00:26:17,980 --> 00:26:27,940
4th and Boulevard to our Christmas Eve service, December 24 at 5 p.m. in our sanctuary. We also meet

218
00:26:27,940 --> 00:26:35,460
for worship on Sunday morning at 10 a.m. at 101 4th Street on the corner of 4th and Boulevard. We invite

219
00:26:35,460 --> 00:26:40,259
you to join us for Sunday morning worship, too. And you can get more information for all these things

220
00:26:40,259 --> 00:26:49,559
and more by calling us at 208-523-0196. That's 523-0196.
