1 00:00:04,719 --> 00:00:09,919 Greetings. This is Pastor David Bass at New Geneva Orthodox Presbyterian Church 2 00:00:09,919 --> 00:00:15,339 with a moment of truth, where we challenge you to think through an important issue of life and 3 00:00:15,339 --> 00:00:22,480 faith. And today I want to ask you, why is it that our vote in the recent midterm elections 4 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:29,920 will change very little to nothing at all in the United States of America? I hate to be so 5 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:37,579 skeptical, so cynical, but that is my bottom line conclusion, that our sacred right, our franchise 6 00:00:37,579 --> 00:00:46,820 of power, our vote, in other words, has been irredeemably compromised. And that vote in the 7 00:00:46,820 --> 00:00:53,799 recent midterm elections will change little to nothing in our country. These last few months have 8 00:00:53,799 --> 00:01:01,119 been filled with an orgy of national drama and political theater over the elections recently 9 00:01:01,119 --> 00:01:06,680 transpired. They have been called the most important in my lifetime by several commentators. 10 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:14,459 And all but the most clueless Pollyanna progressive knows that there is simply something deeply broken 11 00:01:14,459 --> 00:01:21,459 in America that needs fixing. But we have to ask ourselves, why is the choosing of politicians 12 00:01:21,459 --> 00:01:29,980 in this election cycle, only a constitutional placebo, a dilettante's distraction, a shiny 13 00:01:29,980 --> 00:01:36,719 bauble that's dangled before us to distract the dog while the owner prepares to put a thick leash 14 00:01:36,719 --> 00:01:44,700 over his neck? Why will this midterm election have little to no effect at all on our rush into 15 00:01:44,700 --> 00:01:51,099 tyranny? Well, the short answer is that the balance of power is no longer in the three branches 16 00:01:51,099 --> 00:01:57,819 of government created by our founding fathers in the Constitution. Insidiously, over the past two 17 00:01:57,819 --> 00:02:06,140 decades, a fourth branch of government has been created before our very eyes, under our very nose, 18 00:02:06,420 --> 00:02:12,379 since 9-11. And that fourth branch of government now dominates the other three for that matter. 19 00:02:12,620 --> 00:02:18,219 And I hope in the next few broadcasts to briefly sketch the rise, formation, and operation 20 00:02:18,219 --> 00:02:25,419 of this shadowy branch of the federal leviathan. And I am indebted for the substance of this thesis 21 00:02:25,419 --> 00:02:34,240 to an article on the website conservativetreehouse.com. That's one word, conservativetreehouse.com. 22 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:41,580 Just a delightful website with many fine articles and perspectives. And this particular article 23 00:02:41,580 --> 00:02:49,280 is written by a pseudonymous author named Sundance. Now, Sundance was a well-placed operative in this 24 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:55,000 putative fourth branch of government, and his need for anonymity is obvious. And the title of his article 25 00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:00,039 doesn't really do the article justice. And that title is, The Surveillance and Political Spying 26 00:03:00,039 --> 00:03:06,580 Operations Highlighted by John Durham Are the Tip of the Iceberg. Once again, the surveillance and 27 00:03:06,580 --> 00:03:12,580 political spying operations highlighted by John Durham are the tip of the iceberg. That's the title of 28 00:03:12,580 --> 00:03:19,439 the article, but it's really much more extensive than that. The title is kind of bland. The 35-page 29 00:03:19,439 --> 00:03:25,759 article is really a brief history of how the intelligence and law enforcement agencies of our 30 00:03:25,759 --> 00:03:32,300 federal government have been weaponized and turned upon the American people, targeting in part our most 31 00:03:32,300 --> 00:03:40,539 sacred right, our franchise of power, our vote. And once you understand this, so many of the puzzling 32 00:03:40,539 --> 00:03:46,580 aspects of our recent elections begin to fall into place. And you will understand why nothing will 33 00:03:46,580 --> 00:03:53,500 change, regardless of whether the results are a red tsunami or a red drizzle for the Republicans, 34 00:03:53,500 --> 00:04:00,240 because you see, they are in on the game as well. The author, Sundance, has done deep research, 35 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:07,240 conducted many interviews, and put together many of the puzzle pieces to conclude that since 9-11, 36 00:04:07,479 --> 00:04:14,639 the intelligence community of the federal government, empowered and emboldened by things like 37 00:04:14,639 --> 00:04:22,300 the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004, and other legislation which created, 38 00:04:22,439 --> 00:04:27,879 for example, the Department of Homeland Security, which was charged with protecting and serving the 39 00:04:27,879 --> 00:04:34,120 American people from terrorist threats, and also creating the Director of National Intelligence, 40 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:42,579 the DNI, which is supposed to be a master clearinghouse for all intelligence products produced by the federal 41 00:04:42,579 --> 00:04:50,240 government. Well, they and the broader intelligence community taken together have actually morphed and 42 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:56,160 mushroomed into a fourth branch of government, even superseding the other three branches of 43 00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:02,600 government created by our Constitution, the legislative, the executive, and the judicial branches of 44 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:11,100 government. Sundance says early in his article, he says, it is this superseding branch that now touches 45 00:05:11,100 --> 00:05:19,019 and influences every facet of our life. He goes on to say then that we can also see how the oversight 46 00:05:19,019 --> 00:05:26,000 or check and balance in our system of government became functionally obsolescent. That's a scary thought 47 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:32,600 to contemplate. That the oversight or the checks and balances built into our system of government meant 48 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:41,220 to check runaway intelligence agencies has now become functionally obsolescent. In other words, this fourth 49 00:05:41,220 --> 00:05:49,879 branch of government that he calls the intelligence branch is unaccountable to anyone or anything except 50 00:05:49,879 --> 00:05:59,019 itself. So this is why you will never see James Comey or Peter Stroke or Barack Obama or any of the other 51 00:05:59,019 --> 00:06:05,180 players in the coup against President Trump. You'll never see them punished for their crimes. For a number 52 00:06:05,180 --> 00:06:10,819 of reasons, I'll articulate them here momentarily. For a number of reasons, though, the three branches have 53 00:06:10,819 --> 00:06:19,100 become beholden and accountable to this branch of government, the intelligence branch. Do you remember, 54 00:06:19,100 --> 00:06:25,040 for example, Senator Chuck Schumer's advice to President Trump when he was running around early 55 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:31,399 in his administration picking a fight with security bureaucrats? Schumer said, and I quote, 56 00:06:31,579 --> 00:06:36,920 let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting 57 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:44,420 back at you, unquote. Getting back at you and get back at President Trump. They did indeed, didn't they? 58 00:06:44,420 --> 00:06:50,579 How did all of this happen, dear listener? How has it come about? Is this just another of your 59 00:06:50,579 --> 00:06:57,980 conspiracy theories, Pastor Bass? Oh, but yes, but yes, there are conspiracy theories. There are 60 00:06:57,980 --> 00:07:05,079 conspiracies. As long as man has had the ability to plan one event ahead of another, aware of cause and 61 00:07:05,079 --> 00:07:10,579 effect, there have been conspiracies from the serpent's conspiracy to topple Adam and Eve in the Garden of 62 00:07:10,579 --> 00:07:18,339 Eden to the recent arrest of Richard Patton of Pueblo, Colorado, a Democrat poll worker for conspiring to 63 00:07:18,339 --> 00:07:25,800 change the outcome of an election by inserting a device into a voting machine. Now, Mr. Patton has 64 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:30,100 many accomplices. He was just stupid enough to do it in front of everyone plus their grandmother. 65 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:37,600 So as long as man is able to plan, there will be conspiracies. This particular plan to create a 66 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:43,939 powerful federal body to punish one's political opponents has been a long time in the making. 67 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:49,459 And we can go back to President Eisenhower's prescient foresight of the military-industrial 68 00:07:49,459 --> 00:07:57,519 complex that he saw forming after World War II, or we can go back to JFK's sobering realization of 69 00:07:57,519 --> 00:08:03,939 the unaccountable loose cannon power of the CIA after the debacle of the Bay of Pigs. In fact, 70 00:08:03,939 --> 00:08:11,639 some postulate that he was assassinated in part for his attempt to dismantle that agency, the CIA, 71 00:08:11,639 --> 00:08:21,040 or contemplate Richard Nixon, his conceiving of using the IRS to punish his political enemies. Now, 72 00:08:21,079 --> 00:08:29,560 he never followed through on it, but Obama actually did. Remember Lois Lerner and her delays of approvals 73 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:37,100 of IRS exemptions, right? But this particular conspiracy to wield the vast power of the federal 74 00:08:37,100 --> 00:08:44,000 government against we the people was put on a regimen of steroids under the Obama administration. 75 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:51,259 With his right-hand hatchet man at the Department of Justice, that is Eric Holder, President Obama 76 00:08:51,259 --> 00:08:58,879 took the pre-existing tools of the Department of Justice and the FBI and he retooled them to destroy 77 00:08:58,879 --> 00:09:06,100 his political opponents. In addition to the Department of Justice and the FBI, Obama now had the burgeoning 78 00:09:06,100 --> 00:09:12,840 bureaucracies of the Department of Homeland Security and the Director of National Intelligence created since 79 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:21,840 9-11, supplying him with an exponentially vaster sea of information on the American people. More of this 80 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:30,600 than any president had previous access to, Obama was able to construct a formidable weapon whose tentacles 81 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:38,659 reached into and dominated every branch of our federal government. Sundance calls this the fourth 82 00:09:38,659 --> 00:09:45,000 branch of government, the intelligence branch, supported by the four pillars of the Department of Homeland 83 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:52,220 Security, the Director of National Intelligence in the Executive Branch, and the Department of Justice, 84 00:09:52,220 --> 00:10:00,340 and the FBI. Some amorphously call it the deep state, I have for a long time, without clearly understanding 85 00:10:00,340 --> 00:10:07,379 its various working components and the true extent and nature of the beast, the deep state. Well, 86 00:10:07,379 --> 00:10:16,620 the clear advantage of adopting Sundance's analysis is that his careful research lays bare the various 87 00:10:16,620 --> 00:10:22,759 working components and gives a true picture of the situation we face. This is why it's important. 88 00:10:23,340 --> 00:10:30,139 Sundance refuses to ignore the 800-pound gorilla in the room, as the cliche goes. Sundance turns on the 89 00:10:30,139 --> 00:10:36,620 lights so that we see the scattering cockroaches infesting the political room. He makes the mysterious 90 00:10:36,620 --> 00:10:43,200 deep state a little shallower, bringing it a little closer to the surface so that we might see it for 91 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:50,100 what it is, a fourth branch of government. Sundance begins with several valuable stipulations that we 92 00:10:50,100 --> 00:10:58,279 must all heed if we are ever going to be able to destroy this metastasizing cancerous tumor on the 93 00:10:58,279 --> 00:11:04,440 body politic. Number one, stipulation number one, is that, and I quote him now, he says, 94 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:10,379 to understand the intelligence branch of government, this fourth branch of government that has been 95 00:11:10,379 --> 00:11:16,000 created, often mistaken for the deep state, this fourth branch of government. I go on, to understand 96 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:22,000 the intelligence branch of government, we need to drop the elementary school civics class lessons 97 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:28,100 about three co-equal branches of government and replace that outlook with a modern system 98 00:11:28,100 --> 00:11:35,460 that created itself. Yes, we must drop the elementary school civic class lessons, right? 99 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:42,200 It's a modest, polite way of saying, wake up, naive American, who still thinks we live in a constitutional 100 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:50,480 republic. We don't. True patriots are going to have to face this harsh truth. That elegant wildebeest 101 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:55,899 of a constitutional republic of a constitutional republic has long been gutted and filled with a 102 00:11:55,899 --> 00:12:02,200 cackling carcass-feeding hyena. The deep state apparatus is what it is. The deep state apparatus 103 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:09,299 controlled by the intelligence branch. That's the cackling carcass-feeding hyena that has replaced 104 00:12:09,299 --> 00:12:17,600 that elegant wildebeest of the constitutional republic. Enough of a shell, however, of a constitutional 105 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:24,580 republic remains that it appears as one thing for public consumption, but in reality functions like 106 00:12:24,580 --> 00:12:30,440 another thing altogether. That is, it functions like a tyrannical government, which exists to 107 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:38,980 accumulate wealth and aggrandize power for itself, that is, for themselves, the individuals who compose 108 00:12:38,980 --> 00:12:45,860 it, and most certainly does not exist to serve the American people. In fact, the case can be made 109 00:12:45,860 --> 00:12:53,700 that the American people now serve as the fat, corpulent host for the predating parasite that is 110 00:12:53,700 --> 00:12:59,539 the federal government. The executive branch, the legislative branch, and the judicial branch of 111 00:12:59,539 --> 00:13:07,620 government each go on, much as before, appearing to be themselves, but have long been zombified by our 112 00:13:07,620 --> 00:13:15,840 intelligence branch, the intelligence branch voodoo masters. We hold elections that send men and women 113 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:22,919 into the swamp to change things, to drain the swamp, don't we? Well-intentioned people we elect and send them 114 00:13:22,919 --> 00:13:30,860 into the swamp to change things, but who then subsequently are either turned into swamp zombies 115 00:13:30,860 --> 00:13:40,059 themselves, or they come out years later wounded, broken, and disillusioned, having changed nothing. As the comedian 116 00:13:40,059 --> 00:13:45,799 George Carlin puts it, forget the politicians. The politicians are put there to give you the idea 117 00:13:45,799 --> 00:13:52,080 that you have freedom of choice. You don't. You have no choice. Unquote. That's a great bit. You can find 118 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:59,440 this on YouTube yet, this comedy bit where George Carlin tells it like it is. Oh, dear listener, when I was a 119 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:06,179 toddler, I had a safety seat in our car that had a steering wheel with a plastic gear shift and even some 120 00:14:06,179 --> 00:14:12,299 pedals for my feet. I could pretend to be driving the car the whole time my father was actually driving 121 00:14:12,299 --> 00:14:19,700 it. I had a rollicking good time imagining I was in control. This is your analogous situation, dear 122 00:14:19,700 --> 00:14:27,820 American voter. You are a political toddler imagining yourself in control with your vote. If you think that 123 00:14:27,820 --> 00:14:35,720 you are actually controlling anything by voting in the federal system, nothing will change until we face this 124 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:44,799 harsh reality. We, the people, no longer control the beast. It controls us. And we need to, as Sundance 125 00:14:44,799 --> 00:14:51,419 says, drop the elementary school civics class lessons about three co-equal branches of government. 126 00:14:52,159 --> 00:14:59,519 Well, secondly, the second stipulation that Sundance lays out is that big tech is now a wholly owned 127 00:14:59,519 --> 00:15:05,679 subsidiary of this fourth branch of government, the intelligence branch. According to Sundance, 128 00:15:05,679 --> 00:15:11,700 he says, big tech industry collaboration with intelligence operatives is part of that functioning, 129 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:19,179 almost like a non-governmental organization, unquote. Yes, big tech is now an NGO working on 130 00:15:19,179 --> 00:15:24,659 behalf of the intelligence branch of the U.S. government. This has been a feature, really, of the 131 00:15:24,659 --> 00:15:32,200 intelligence branch's inner workings since the Obama days. Steroids. Obama put tyranny on steroids. 132 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:37,720 For example, just one example, during the so-called Arab Spring, you remember that period of the Obama 133 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:44,120 administration, during the so-called Arab Spring, when Obama and Hillary's State Department tried to 134 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:51,799 overthrow governments in Egypt and Syria and Bahrain and Qatar, I'm sorry, Qatar and Libya, the intelligence 135 00:15:51,799 --> 00:15:57,980 branches work closely with Facebook and Twitter to gather valuable information on users in those countries, 136 00:15:57,980 --> 00:16:04,279 and then also to use Facebook and Twitter to spread disinformation favorable to the Obama 137 00:16:04,279 --> 00:16:11,259 administration. As Sundance puts it, this was the point of modern merge between the U.S. intelligence 138 00:16:11,259 --> 00:16:19,360 community and big tech social media, unquote. The big merge between big tech and government. And oh, 139 00:16:19,500 --> 00:16:26,320 how that merger has grown like a marriage of demons made in hell. And it must be noted here that big tech, 140 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:33,700 which includes mainstream media as well as social media, big tech is less the propaganda arm of the 141 00:16:33,700 --> 00:16:40,659 Democrat Party as it is a non-governmental organization, an NGO working in close collaboration 142 00:16:40,659 --> 00:16:47,159 with the fourth branch of government, the intelligence branch. And the recent admission by Mark Zuckerberg 143 00:16:47,159 --> 00:16:54,179 that the FBI came to him before the 2020 election, warning that the Hunter Biden laptop story 144 00:16:54,179 --> 00:17:00,820 was Russian disinformation. Remember that? With the clear information, clear implication, excuse me, 145 00:17:00,899 --> 00:17:08,220 by the FBI not to feature it. While this is exhibit A of the bed partner relationship between big tech 146 00:17:08,220 --> 00:17:14,079 and that fourth branch of government. Now, it must be remembered too that this collaboration 147 00:17:14,079 --> 00:17:21,160 is not a union of sweethearts who just have a fortuitous conjunction of passions and interests. No, 148 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:28,119 the intelligence community mercilessly uses a carrot and stick approach to keep big tech to heal. 149 00:17:28,519 --> 00:17:33,660 There's the carrot of government grants and monies, guaranteed monopolies in their field, 150 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:39,039 and power over the flow of events for that matter. And conversely, there's the stick of 151 00:17:39,039 --> 00:17:46,420 congressional investigations, the antitrust suits, fines, even imprisonment of media executives for 152 00:17:46,420 --> 00:17:53,099 various crimes, real or imagined. So make no mistake about this reality, dear listener. The intelligence 153 00:17:53,099 --> 00:17:59,819 branch of the government will use your personal electronic tracker, also known as a cell phone. 154 00:18:00,019 --> 00:18:06,400 It will use your social media accounts. It will use your consumption of news and information to 155 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:11,420 tyrannize you to greater and greater degrees until you find yourself with no private thoughts, 156 00:18:11,420 --> 00:18:17,519 no free choices, and only a gray predetermined future that is poorer, hungrier, and sicker than 157 00:18:17,519 --> 00:18:23,960 anything you knew in a free constitutional republic. And no election will ever offer you a true choice 158 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:29,299 either. You have no choice, as George Carlin says. You only have an apparent choice between 159 00:18:29,299 --> 00:18:36,779 obladi and oblada, which in the end proved to be the same thing. And the third stipulation then that we see 160 00:18:36,779 --> 00:18:43,660 is that the intelligence branch, the real superseding branch of government, controls and compromises 161 00:18:43,660 --> 00:18:50,539 almost every elected and appointed official in all three branches of the federal system. Many examples 162 00:18:50,539 --> 00:18:56,240 could be given. What else would you expect, though, from any self-respecting intelligence organization or 163 00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:02,160 branch of government, right? The data collection capabilities, the opportunities for clandestine 164 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:08,700 operations are endless. In the first place, they know everything about every man, woman, and child 165 00:19:08,700 --> 00:19:15,200 who steps up to grasp at the ring of power straight from Mordor. If you have anything to hide, any 166 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:21,279 embarrassing or compromising skeletons in your closet, anything that would threaten your hold on power, 167 00:19:21,519 --> 00:19:28,619 well, the FBI and its sibling agencies knows it, and they will use it to leverage you into doing what 168 00:19:28,619 --> 00:19:36,099 they want. And if there is nothing on you, if you really are a saint pious or have managed to avoid 169 00:19:36,099 --> 00:19:43,099 detection, then they will either create a situation to entrap you or just plain make stuff up, like they 170 00:19:43,099 --> 00:19:50,160 did to President Trump with a so-called Steele dossier. Remember that whole debacle? Well, the compromising 171 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:57,000 situations into which one may be maneuvered can be as spicy and sensational as the Lolita Express of 172 00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:04,579 Bill Clinton fame, where purveyors of young girls and boys, purveyors like Jeffrey Epstein, entrap 173 00:20:04,579 --> 00:20:11,980 men of power who are enticed to secret getaways, to romp and party, all of it recorded, and then held 174 00:20:11,980 --> 00:20:17,839 over their heads, held over the head of the fool who fell for it for the rest of his life, or they 175 00:20:17,839 --> 00:20:24,480 can be as prosaic, too, as becoming caught up oneself in one of D.C.'s power intrigue, such that he is 176 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:30,880 guilty as the next guy. And Dianne Feinstein, a Democrat from California, is a perfect example 177 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:36,339 of this phenomenon. She was the chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence when Obama came 178 00:20:36,339 --> 00:20:41,880 to power, and as Sundance puts it, Feinstein was completely controlled by those around her, including 179 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:48,920 Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, unquote. And as you may remember, she had a Chinese spy on her staff 180 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:55,319 that had been compromising her sending classified information to his Chinese handlers for almost 30 181 00:20:55,319 --> 00:21:02,279 years. Since the intelligence community controls things like security clearances and the classification 182 00:21:02,279 --> 00:21:09,420 of information, no one holds a single position of power or a sensitive congressional committee post 183 00:21:09,420 --> 00:21:16,519 without their approval. That's control. And then fourthly, the fourth stipulation that Sundance lays 184 00:21:16,519 --> 00:21:21,819 out for us is, as he puts it, as Sundance puts it, he says, for their own self-preservation, 185 00:21:22,079 --> 00:21:27,740 the intelligence branch has been interfering in our elections for years, unquote. Ding, ding, 186 00:21:27,819 --> 00:21:33,799 ding, ding, ding. Ah, the alarm should be going off. The intelligence branch has been interfering in our 187 00:21:33,799 --> 00:21:41,039 elections for years. They've had a lot of practice for almost 70 years. The CIA has been honing and 188 00:21:41,039 --> 00:21:47,380 perfecting this technique since its inception following World War II. It overthrew, for example, 189 00:21:47,380 --> 00:21:56,640 the freely elected government of Mohamed Mossadegh in 1953 in Iran, installing the Shah Reza Pahlavi in 190 00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:03,400 his stead. It continued, the CIA, to hone its skills in places like Chile with the overthrow of Salvador 191 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:10,599 Allende in 1973. Now, in both of these places and many others throughout these last 70 years, 192 00:22:10,599 --> 00:22:17,420 techniques like the buying of candidates with literally suitcases of cash or the harnessing 193 00:22:17,420 --> 00:22:24,680 of media outlets to broadcast disinformation to the electorate and the blackmailing and even killing 194 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:32,440 of political opponents. These were all employed by the CIA to obtain desired results. I urge you to 195 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:38,799 read the book Legacy of Ashes, The History of the CIA by Tim Weiner, and he lays out all the history of 196 00:22:38,799 --> 00:22:45,559 all of these things. The important thing to note is that now these techniques, these political weapons, 197 00:22:45,619 --> 00:22:51,619 have been turned inward on the American people instead of foreign nations. Especially since 9-11, 198 00:22:51,799 --> 00:22:57,619 these techniques have been put into warp drive on us. As Sundance puts it, he says, 199 00:22:57,619 --> 00:23:03,980 since 9-11, the terror surveillance radar was no longer pointed offshore. After 9-11, 200 00:23:03,980 --> 00:23:10,220 the terror surveillance radar was modified to point inland. Prior to the director of national 201 00:23:10,220 --> 00:23:15,259 intelligence, we the people were what the intelligence system was designed to protect. 202 00:23:15,759 --> 00:23:22,039 After the director of national intelligence was created, we the people were now defined as the 203 00:23:22,039 --> 00:23:28,980 potential threat. The continuity of government was now what needed to be protected from us. 204 00:23:28,980 --> 00:23:37,660 Oh, as part of protecting themselves, then, the intelligence branch of government must control 205 00:23:37,660 --> 00:23:43,339 elections. And this is what they're doing. Sundance goes on to say, our elections have been usurped by 206 00:23:43,339 --> 00:23:49,299 the intelligence branch, unquote. This is one reason why, too, now that the federal elections have 207 00:23:49,299 --> 00:23:54,480 been compromised and largely controlled, not completely just yet. Well, nevertheless, the federal 208 00:23:54,480 --> 00:24:00,900 government, this is why the Democrat Party has been lobbying heavily, seeking to federalize all 209 00:24:00,900 --> 00:24:07,599 elections, taking control away from the very states. This is one of the last bastions of liberty, dear 210 00:24:07,599 --> 00:24:14,980 listener, one of the last bastions we have left. Our vote, our franchise of power at the state and local 211 00:24:14,980 --> 00:24:21,960 level. And so we must fight to protect it at all costs and extend that back, the integrity of elections, 212 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:29,160 extend it back, take back the federal elections, from which is this integrity has been usurped, 213 00:24:29,559 --> 00:24:34,960 as Sundance puts it. While we must face this reality that, as Sundance says, our elections have 214 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:39,460 been usurped by the intelligence branch, unquote, unquote, unquote, we must not despair, but we must 215 00:24:39,460 --> 00:24:46,980 act. We must continue to vote. We must continue to vote. I emphasize, laboring to bring integrity back 216 00:24:46,980 --> 00:24:52,400 to the voting booth and, frankly, making the evildoers have to work very hard to commit their 217 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:58,400 fraud. So, by saying that the recent midterm elections will change very little in our nation, 218 00:24:58,779 --> 00:25:04,539 I'm not saying, don't vote. No, no, no. By all means, we must get out the vote. We must continue 219 00:25:04,539 --> 00:25:13,099 every election to vote, vote, and vote. Make the evildoers work for their fraud. Stymie the evildoers. 220 00:25:13,099 --> 00:25:19,480 Expose them for who they are, and work hard at the grassroots level to bring honesty and integrity 221 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:26,900 back to our vote. Our constitutional republic is steeped in biblical roots, and justice is at the 222 00:25:26,900 --> 00:25:33,740 heart of the exercise of power, justice we do not see today. Moses said, justice and only justice 223 00:25:33,740 --> 00:25:41,480 shalt thou do in the land. Oh, this principle of justice is extended to our vote. It must be honest. 224 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:48,359 It must be filled with integrity. And if that goes away, so does the republic. We are sunk back into 225 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:54,880 the tyranny of the past, and we become the default setting for the human race. That is slaves. That is 226 00:25:54,880 --> 00:26:01,539 what is at stake, dear listener. Do not let this happen. Do not let this metastasize any longer. 227 00:26:02,039 --> 00:26:08,220 Become aware of the problem, as I have outlined it for you today. Come out of the American naivete, 228 00:26:08,220 --> 00:26:13,660 or as George Carlin put it, the American dream. The American dream is a dream because you have to be 229 00:26:13,660 --> 00:26:21,160 asleep to believe it, is what he said. Come out of the dream and prepare to take back our republic, 230 00:26:21,299 --> 00:26:26,579 dear listener. This has been Pastor David Bass at New Geneva Orthodox Presbyterian Church, 231 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:31,859 and we meet for holy worship. I encourage you to join us for holy worship on Sundays.
