Greetings, this is Pastor David Bass at New Geneva Orthodox Presbyterian Church with the Moment of Truth, where we challenge you to think through an important issue of life and faith. Today, there is a faction within the heart of the deep state tyranny that rules over us, which cannot, under any circumstances whatsoever, allow Donald Trump to assume the lead office of the executive branch of government, the presidency of the United States of America. Biden, Harris, and many others have called him an existential threat to the country or to democracy, meaning their well-oiled machine of wealth extraction from the people and shackles of power that are clapped to us. Trump threatens their power. A second Trump presidency just might bring down what has become known as the fourth branch of government, the intelligence branch, composed of the CIA, FBI, and the rest of the intelligence community to one degree or another, like Homeland Security or those intelligence agencies of the Army, Navy, and Air Force. These forces within the deep state are like the Pharisees in Jesus' parable of the 10 minas in Luke 19, where they exclaimed, the Pharisees, we will not have this man to reign over us. And of course, that meant Jesus, but I mean it applying to Trump. I'm not comparing Trump to Jesus by any stretch. He's certainly no Messiah. But the thoughts are the same. We will not have this man to rule, to reign over us. Now, last week we let out for you who the they are at the center of this fourth branch of government, coming to be known as the council and all of their enabling tentacles in the octopus of power. And I refer you to that broadcast of October 6th, which can be found on our website, americastruths.org. Well, who are they? Of course, the more light that is shed on this heretoforeshadowing group, the more we the people can effectively move to thwart them and insist that legitimate authority within our country utterly, utterly, completely destroy them and bring them to account and ensure that they never exercise illegitimate power over us again. Is Donald Trump the man for the job? He has promised to bring down the deep state once and for all, if given a second term. Well, he certainly exposed the deep state for what it is in his first term. If nothing else, Trump threw on the light switch and all of America saw the cockroaches of government scurry for the dark crevices of D.C., that is the district of criminals. And this, of course, terrified them. But before we destroy, obliterate, scour from the face of the earth what we call the deep state, the fourth branch of government, the intelligence branch, we must know precisely what it is and what it will take to destroy it and what will take its place. Let's proceed to answer these first questions. First of all, what is the deep state? What is the fourth branch of government, the intelligence branch? I have dealt extensively with this question in past broadcasts. I refer you to them for a more thorough analysis with proofs. This is not a homespun conspiracy theory cooked up in a fevered imagination of a paranoid. I've done my homework on this. I urge you to listen to our broadcast from November 13, 2022. November 13, 2022, entitled, A Fourth Branch of Government Has Made Your Vote Irrelevant. And that's on our website, americastruths.org. What will it take to destroy this deep state, this fourth branch of government? This fourth branch of government has so compromised and controlled the other three branches created by our constitution, they are legislative, executive, and judicial, that it will take the combined powers of all three branches to smash the cancerous fourth branch of government. And once more, we have covered this topic extensively in previous broadcasts. For example, I have then from October 31st of 2021, a broadcast entitled Oliver Cromwell or Guy Fawkes, Two Ways to Respond to Tyranny. I have a part one on October 31st, 2021, a part two on November 14, 2021, and a part three from December 26, 2021. And then I also have a series called The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates, subtitled, The Biblical Response to Tyranny, The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates. And that's parts one through three, beginning on January 8, 2023. Listen to these. And then also, Holding Our Magistrates Accountable from March 20, 2020, Holding Our Magistrates Accountable March of 2020 if we are going to destroy the deep state. And then finally, Defeating Tyranny, subtitled, Where Are the States from June 18 of 2023? What will it take to destroy the deep state? Where are the states in defeating tyranny? June 18, 2023? And then what will take its place too, dear listener? I have a whole series on this particular topic. It can be found on americastruths.org once again. For example, you might want to listen to my series on the Declaration of Independence that begins on February 16, 2020. February 16, 2020. And it's entitled, A Christian Millennium, subtitle, The Declaration of Independence is as Relevant Today as It Was in the Day of Our Founding Fathers. February 16, 2020. Also closely related to it is, from January 19, 2020, A Christian Millennium, Eight Propositions for a Christian Millennium, Eight Propositions for a Christian Millennium from January 19, 2020. Especially pertinent in this regard to what will replace our dying republic is the series beginning on May 10 of 2020 entitled, A Christian Millennium. If we are to prosecute a new American revolution against the deep state, what will take its place? Specific, isn't it? May 10, 2020. A Christian Millennium, if we are to prosecute a new American revolution against the deep state, what will take its place? Other important broadcasts to follow with titles like, A Christian Millennium, How Do We Successfully Wage a Righteous Revolution? From May 17, 2020. That's important. Step two, how do we successfully wage a righteous revolution? And then finally, from May 24, 2020. A Christian Millennium, Spiritual Revival and Reformation is the key to unlock a Christian Constitutional Republic. Yes, Spiritual Revival and Reformation is the key to unlock a Christian Constitutional Republic. May 24, 2020. So, I have thought through these issues very carefully. We are not without a pathway forward, and we can do it in a biblical manner, too. But first, I'm afraid we must go through what one of my mentors called a deep, dark tunnel of chaos. A deep, dark tunnel of chaos, by which he meant a period of history in which there was great turmoil, upheaval, and uncertainty, accompanied oftentimes by war and plague, famine and death. And no one can predict precisely the future and whether one will even survive the ride through the deep, dark tunnel of chaos. If it is not evident to you yet, and you have to be a naive Pollyanna to deny it, it soon will be evident to you. History will be thrust upon you in ways you cannot hide from, deny, or avoid. We are at a juncture in history now, in that tunnel of chaos, where the intelligence branch of government is laboring to prevent Donald Trump from assuming the presidency in 2025. And as we will detail, there is nothing, absolutely nothing, it will not do to keep him out. He is truly an existential threat, not to democracy, not to the country, but rather to them. For example, the hysterical, hissy-fit Democrat Congressman Jamie Raskin, a true Marxist to the core, he went on a very revealing rampage after the Supreme Court decided in favor of President Trump, and he posited that the only way Congress could stop a Trump presidency was by refusing to certify the Electoral College vote in January 2025. Prime strategy number one, refusing to certify the Electoral College vote in January 2025. His tenuous basis was the 14th Amendment, which bars anyone from serving in federal office, if convicted of insurrection, which is not applicable to Trump in any case. And furthermore, Trump has not even been charged, much less convicted, of insurrection in a court of law. So, Trump is an insurrectionist only in the fevered imaginations of Marxists, like Jamie Raskin, but this ruse is really only a ploy for classic Marxist revolutionary strategies. For example, under the pretense of law, true insurrectionists like Raskin will tell the rampaging Trump mobs, as he calls them, on January 6th that Trump is disqualified. Also, Congress will declare America under civil war conditions, as Raskin puts it. Martial law in a state of emergency under the present regime. No transition to power can be considered, therefore. The deep state stays in power, in other words. And he also said, Raskin did, that there will be bodyguards for everybody. That is a military dictatorship because of the people's reaction to tyranny. Do you remember the response of Nancy Pelosi and the deep state after January 6th, 2021? They wrapped Congress in barbed wire, and they called in the National Guard, and they held a virtual secret inauguration of Joe Biden with just a handful of bootlicking partisans in attendance. One was truly reminded of being in North Korea, not the United States of America. Well, if Raskin and the rest get their way, this will be the norm for American elections in the future, not the exception. We will be like North Korea, or Maoist China, or the old Soviet Union, and we will be like them in substance as well as style. We will have elections, like they do, a great show and pretense of democracy, but tightly controlled by the state. As Stalin once put it so concisely, he said, those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything, unquote. Well, that the deep state, the fourth branch of government, the intelligence branch, is doing its part in thwarting Donald Trump is evident from the Attorney General Merrick Garland's establishment of what he calls an Election Threats Task Force. Euphemistically, Election Threats Task Force. Well, he should turn that task force on himself and the entire Attorney General's office. With it, he hopes to bring back the old boogeyman of Russian interference. However, the Russian interference in our elections. Now, if you remember, the intelligence branch fabricated an entire false narrative about Russian interference in the 2016 election on behalf of Donald Trump, and then used it as a predicate to investigate and prosecute Donald Trump. It was successful, wasn't it? It was successful insofar as it became an albatross around President Trump's neck all through his first administration. Well, they hoped to do it again. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, right? If it worked once, it will work again. Garland promises so poiously as he looks earnestly into the camera that nothing will be allowed to interfere with the election or its results. This is code that any action to challenge the results of the 2024 election, assuming it's a victory for Harris and the Democrats, nothing will be allowed to interfere or else it will be a criminal action. And so Trump will be liable for arrest and prosecution. Perhaps it might extend to fostering an insurrection. So make no mistake, Garland's Election Threats Task Force is nothing more than a threat to the election, a vehicle to entrap Donald Trump in a false narrative of election interference when in reality he's only pursuing constitutional remedies for fraud. Watch for this evil ruse to be foisted upon us. And lest we ignore perhaps Trump's most intractable hater, Nancy Pelosi, she's been adamant about keeping the president from serving another term. She also says it will not, the election will not be certified. She told an interviewer with New York Magazine, she said, don't even think of that. Don't think of the world being on fire. It cannot happen or we will not be the United States of America. She said that it is her life's goal to ensure that Donald Trump never serves a second term. We all need life's goals, don't we? And hers is to refuse to see that Donald Trump ever serves a second term. Well, this is just a brief survey of the machinations of several of the deep state's operatives for subverting President Trump's election to a second term. What kind of tactics might we see that facilitate that goal? Well, I have a few for you. Consider, number one, the cleanest, simplest solution is assassination. The cleanest, simplest solution is assassination. Well, from the beginning of history, the most efficient means of eliminating a formidable opponent was to kill him. From Sennacherib in Assyria to Caesar in Rome to Abraham Lincoln and JFK in America, killing the king was the shortest path to consolidating one's power. Even one of Shakespeare's greatest works, Macbeth, is based upon that premise, kill the king and seize his throne. There have already been two attempts on President Trump's life, of course, in Butler, Pennsylvania at a rally and a second one at his golf course in Mar-a-Lago, Florida. And I have detailed this ongoing tactic by the intelligence branch in my broadcast of September 22, 2024, which is entitled First Trump, Then You. And you can find it on americastruths.org, September 22, 2024. So, do not be surprised if other means are employed, maybe a truck bomb or food poisoning or a dedicated kill team on the model of a SWAT team. And supposedly, there are five such teams already roaming the country, waiting for an opportunity, according to FBI Director Christopher Wray. But don't be fooled, either. As Senator Chuck Schumer threatened following Trump's first election, he said, and I quote, when you mess with the intelligence community, they've got six waves from Sunday at getting back at you. Oh, yeah. We can hear them say, in unison, can't we? We will not have this man to reign over us. Well, secondly, there is also prosecution. For the past three years, Trump's enemies have pursued a self-conscious strategy of lawfare in the courts in various states, including Georgia for insurrection on January 6th, or New York for distorted and inflated charges of campaign finance crimes. And there are four such cases, quote-unquote, wending their way through the court systems as we speak. They have their intended effect. First, they occupy a great deal of President Trump's time and energy and resources as he defends himself in courts. They also hold the potential for President Trump's incarceration, especially his conviction in New York. That could happen in December, even after the election. But one thing it has not done, which the state had hoped this tactic would, and that is it has not destroyed his reputation in the eyes of the public, as federal indictments and trials and convictions usually do. But these are so transparently harassment tactics that no one is buying it. Even the Democrat campaign has not displayed it as they had hoped to during the election. These baseless charges have become rather a badge of honor for the former president in the eyes of the public. But we can be certain that the state will continue to squeeze blood from this turnip for as long as they can. We will not have this man to reign over us. But there's also election fraud. Joe Biden has been the fraudster in chief for the last four years. It is now well documented. And Dinesh D'Souza's film, 2,000 Mules, brings this to light. It has now been well documented how the Democrats ran box after box of fraudulent ballots in Atlanta, Georgia, and Detroit, Michigan, and Maricopa County, Nevada, and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in order to push Biden over the finish line in 2020. Voter roles all over the country, especially in swing states, were larded with names of the dead. There is life after death when they vote, right? Or the relocated out of state. Well, Democrats must be masters of remote viewing and remote voting, too. And the illegal alien. All wondrously submitted mail-in ballots for Joe Biden. Well, since this tactic worked so well in 2020, we can be sure it'll be tried again. Election integrity? Huh. Democrats hear election. They know what that is. But they turn a deaf ear to integrity. An attribute little known in those quarters. But one thing they do understand. We will not have this man to reign over us. Well, fourthly, there's violent revolution. And I want to highlight this. This is a classic Marxist tactic. Violent revolution. Lenin fostered violent revolution in Russia in 1917. Mao incited violent revolution in China in 1949. Ho Chi Minh provoked violent revolution in Vietnam in the 50s and 60s. And Paul Pat engineered violent revolution in Cambodia, now Kampuchea, in the 70s. So, do not underestimate, dear listener, the certainty of this Khud Gha. Marxism, by its very nature, calls for a final violent overthrow of the existing order in order to purge and cleanse society of all the capitalist bourgeoisie elements before the pure communist state can be instituted. It is not a matter of if violent, bloody revolution will be incited in the United States of America. But it is a matter only of when. The deep state has been plucking the feathers of the American eagle, so to speak. Plucking the feathers of the American eagle for years now, trying to provoke the American people into violent responses, precisely in order to then respond with police and military force to crush the American people. For example, they were only hoping that the January 6th protesters had brought their guns with things turning violent and bloody so they could then utterly suppress us. They had only hoped that President Trump had had his head blown off on TV in Butler, Pennsylvania, so that the MAGA movement would react in a violent rage and they could then eliminate any and all resistance to a final takeover. The state wants your guns, dear listener, make no mistake. The state wants your guns, your property, and your liberties, and they will stop at nothing to achieve these ends. And no one man will stand in their way, including and especially Donald Trump. We will not have this man to reign over us, they say. Well, there's fifthly then the potential of war. Once more, history demonstrates that the threat of war is sufficient reason for governments to impose tyranny on the people with the excuse of necessity. For example, Israel demanded a king from the prophet Samuel that they might have him lead them into war against their enemies. Rome had a provision for one man to assume the office of dictator for two years during periods of war. And Napoleon was, of course, elected dictator when the chaos of the French Revolution, in the wake of the chaos of the French Revolution, invited attacks by France's enemies. So, people rally around a leader or a government during times of threat and crisis. They will surrender their wealth and their resources and their freedoms if it means they'll survive and the threat will be turned away. It is entirely possible that the war in Ukraine or Israel's conflict with her enemies could escalate to wider wars. For example, Ukraine and NATO against Russia in Europe or Iran and Israel in the Middle East. And if we become more deeply involved, even, heaven forbid, to the point of nuclear war, oh, then it would be inevitable that the state would suspend elections, prevent a transfer of power if the elections were held and Trump would win. All kinds of excuses. Martial law would be declared and only lifted. Lifted. When? When do you think? Ever? Ah, no. No tyranny has ever relinquished power willingly and peacefully. We would be strapped with a straitjacket of tyranny forever or until we managed with great effort to throw it off. More effort than it would take to stop it now. Let's stop it now before it is strapped upon us. Do not underestimate the potential for war to be the excuse for the state to bring we the people to heal. And Donald Trump only stands in their way. We will not have this man to reign over us, they say. Well, there could also be plague then too, right? Plague. Oh, the old ruse. Since the so-called declared COVID pandemic, government has brashly exercised broad powers of control in the shadow of fear. The fear of plague and disease. How well it worked. We've already heard rumblings of plague panic with the threat of monkeypox. Oh, dear. Will the state foist this charade on us again? I hope not. But do not put it past them to try. Oh, dear listener, in summary, plague, war, revolution, tyranny, all are cards to in the hand of the state. There's only one card they do not have in their hand, and that's the Trump card, so to speak. The Trump card. The intelligence branch of government, the fourth branch of government, the deep state, has made it clear that they will not, under any circumstances, allow President Trump to serve a second term. We will not have this man to reign over us. He is an existential threat to them. Consequently, they will stop at nothing to achieve their ends. The options listed above are only the most obvious. Are there more? Are there others? Oh, the solutions I have outlined in previous broadcasts, there are. The solutions are there. But one consistent theme runs through them all, and that is, without the intervention of Almighty God in the affairs of our nation, there is no hope. Even President Trump acknowledges this, even as he acknowledges the presence of God in his own life and the Lord as his Savior. Our Lord told the parable of the Minas as a rebuke to the Pharisees. They would not have this man to reign over them, by whom they meant himself, that is, Jesus Christ, to reign in their lives. Will America again begin to acknowledge Jesus Christ in their lives, the lives of her individual citizens? Only as we do and humble ourselves before God and confess our sins and our need of his providence in our nation's affairs will then we again see our greatness return. If we will make America great again, dear listener, we must first make America good again. This has been Pastor David Bass at New Geneva Orthodox Presbyterian Church.
