Greetings. This is Pastor David Bass at New Geneva Orthodox Presbyterian Church with a moment of truth where we challenge you to think through an important issue of life and faith. And today, if the federal dominion of demons, or as we call it the deep state, if it is to be defeated by we the people, then our best and wisest approach will be to attack it at its most vulnerable points. What are those vulnerabilities? Oh, it has become apparent to me that despite the gifts and energy of our beloved President Donald Trump, that the federal dominion of demons, the deep state, is woven into the fabric of our republic so tightly with such completeness and thread upon thread that no one president or single administration is capable of disentangling it from the body politic. I have used the analogy of stage four cancer, where the tumor of the federal dominion of demons has metastasized to such an extent that even the attempt at excising the tumors will kill the patient. Or using the analogy of the parasite, the federal dominion of demons has attached itself to the host of the republic and fed from it for so long that now it stands engorged, enlarged, and on the threshold of killing the very host from which it feeds. Even if it is not too late, dear listener, we must act soon, and we cannot depend upon a savior, a single president and his administration, to deliver us from the beast. Our Constitution plainly indicates the party which must be God's instrument to deliver the republic, we the people. Therefore, we must aggressively attack the bafflement beast, the deep state, the federal dominion of demons at its most vulnerable points, the chinks in its thick armor, the places where we can strike a death-dealing blow. In Tolkien's The Hobbit, the dragon Smaug had a chink in his thick armored skin near his heart. It was the only place where Bard was able to shoot an arrow into the heart of Smaug. There are such vulnerabilities in the layered armor of the dragon beast, the federal dominion of demons, the deep state. We must accept the terms of the war and move forward, or we shall all be slaves very soon. But unlike Smaug, the federal dominion of demons has multiple vulnerabilities. I have six of them. Let us rejoice and be glad that this is so, and let us systematically attack those vulnerabilities and kill the federal dominion of demons. Vulnerability number one, they practice evil from hearts of evil. We must counter evil with good. Yes, the federal dominion of demons, the deep state, practices evil from hearts of evil, and we must counter that with good. The apostle Paul puts it succinctly in Romans chapter 12. He says, do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Do that which is right and good, according to the Bible, and you will destroy the deep state. As we have articulated in previous broadcasts, your federal dominion of demons, as it is presently constituted, is evil to the core. And I urge you to listen on our website, americastruths.org, americastruths.org. The broadcast Days of Demonic Delirium, a three-part series, October 26, 2025, through November 9, 2025. And then the broadcast, The Evil Are Not Like You, from December 7, 2025. And there you will discover how truly wicked are those who have the rule over us. The evil are not like you. We raise our children in loving households looking forward to passing on a heritage to the next generation. Our evil ones traffic in children, using them for slave labor, child sacrifice, and demonic rights, and using them for perverted sexual gratification. We love peace through strength. The evil ones love war, blood, and death. They do everything they can to maximize bloodshed wherever they can. We love peace, prosperity, and a well-ordered republic. The evil love social strife, poverty, and misery, and lawlessness, and disorder. Just look at the blue cities of America. We love the Christian faith, biblical religion, and patriotism. The evil love Satanism, Marxism, and the destruction of constitutional liberty. The chief vulnerability of the federal dominion of demons is precisely here. Our battle is first a spiritual battle, dear listeners. The apostle Paul says in Ephesians 6, for we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm." Unquote. The apostle Paul also hints at a partial spiritual strategy. He says in 2 Corinthians 10, the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty thing raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ. As much of a stronghold that the federal dominion of demons may seem to be at times, Christ is ruler over every facet of the spiritual realm, dear listener. He is king. He is Lord. The apostle Paul speaks of the immeasurable greatness of his power towards us who believe that it is God, according to the working of his great might that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead, and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in the one to come. Unquote. Oh, dear listener, the Holy Spirit working in us, our prayer and application of the Bible in our everyday lives will demolish what may seem to us indestructible fortresses of the enemy. As we organize and work together for common goals and interests, whether it be in our culture, or politics, or society, we can defeat evil forces in those spheres. We also must build institutions of a Christian order that can withstand the onslaught of evil opposition. The mainline liberal churches have been overcome by evil forces. The Boy Scouts are evil and corrupt. The entertainment industrial complex is evil and satanic to its core, especially those elements created to entertain our kids, like Disney Studios and our education system. What can we say about that? It fails to educate, but reliably churns out brainwashed progressives who cannot read their own diplomas, but who will reliably vote Democrat for the rest of their lives. This is the federal dominion of demons' greatest area of vulnerability, and we have not been as aggressive as we should be in exploiting it. In fact, we must go so far as to say that if we do not first win the four warfare here, excuse me, in the realm of the spirit, we will not achieve full and final victory over the forces of evil, the federal dominion of demons, the deep state. Secondly, the second vulnerability of the federal dominion of demons is that it traffics in lies as its stock and trade. We must be resolute in telling the truth. It is critical that we live consistently in the truth. We live in what is real, and that begins with God. As Jesus says, if you abide in my word and you are truly my disciples, you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. And that stands in stark contrast to those who practice lies as their truth. Jesus says, you are of your father, the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies. Oh, how do you know when a politician is lying, the old cliche goes? When his lips are moving, right? In other words, those who have the rule over us, not we, the people, not our elected representatives, but the small coterie of unelected bureaucrats. They lie as a matter of policy. So do many of our politicians, though, as well, too. Such is their contempt for you that they fully expect you to believe that climate change is such an existential threat that unless you give them full control over all of our resources and ways of life, the whole planet will perish. Or that under Obamacare, you could keep your doctor, your present plan, and that you would save up to $2,500 a year. Lies. Or that the experimental gene therapy shot was a vaccine and kept you from getting COVID. Lies. Or that masks and six-foot social distancing and locking down society would keep you safe from COVID. Lies. What is depressing to me is that so many Americans believed and still believe these manipulative lies. P.T. Barnum once said, no one ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public. But my variation of this is, no politician ever lost an election underestimating the gullibility of the American voter. We believe lies because we want them to be true. Americans, especially progressives, believe whatever lies are pandered to them by party bosses and their obedient lapdog media. The advantage we have is that we are committed to finding and disseminating the truth. Progressives ask questions like Pontius Pilate, what is truth? We as Christians have an absolute anchor for what is true, our Lord Jesus Christ and his word. He said, if you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples and you will know the truth and the truth will set you free. Unquote. Number three, the third vulnerability of the federal dominion of demons is those who live independently of the government are a threat. Yes, those who live independently of the government are a threat to the federal dominion of demons. It has incrementally chipped away at the independent self-reliant spirit of the American character over the years. We are now a nation which depends upon the government in almost every dimension of life. One in three Americans take some form of assistance from the federal government, including food assistance, health care, and social security. Thirteen percent of Americans are enrolled in the SNAP program, the Food Stamps Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Nine million three hundred thousand Americans also receive housing assistance, and another five million plus receive housing vouchers. Well, prior to the 1960s, Americans lived relatively independent of the federal teat. We were more like the free independent eagle than the suckling piglet. Perhaps it should replace the eagle as our national animal, the suckling piglet. But under Lyndon Baines Johnson in the 60s, who introduced us to the great society, as he called it, a vast network of social programs were erected to usher in an unprecedented period of prosperity and supposedly eliminate poverty. Billions were borrowed and funneled to the ghettos and blue cities of America. But instead of eliminating poverty, another stubborn truth intervened, and that is you get more of what you pay for. Yeah, you get more of what you pay for. We shoveled billions and billions of dollars to the poor, and voila, we got millions and millions more of the poor. The Poverty Center at Columbia University reports, and I quote, under a fully relative measure that defines poverty by whether or not families' incomes falls below 50% of median household income. Poverty rates rose between 1967 and 2024, from 15.1% to 18.2%, an increase of 21%, suggesting that more families are falling behind relative to the typical household. Yes, the poor increased by 21% rather than decreasing. We declared a war on poverty, dear listener, and poverty won. We, the American taxpayer, lost. But the big winner is the federal dominion of demons, because the cynical plus in all of this for the federal dominion of demons, the deep state, is that with the shekels come the shackles. That is the control and manipulating of the voting poor, who are utterly dependent upon the big government liberal, who funds the programs they depend upon. Yes, keep me in office, and I'll keep you in food stamps. But those who live independently of the government threaten this dependency cycle and the power that goes with it. It's one of the surest ways to defeat the federal dominion of demons. So, dear listener, personally, you must live free of government assistance. Do not be tempted by the siren song of something for nothing. For every dollar dispatched, there are strings attached. You will be required to vote a certain way, spend a certain way, live a certain way, and think a certain way for you to keep the cash coming. It's a classic of progressive orthodoxy, too, that government assistance provides just enough to survive, but never enough to thrive. You will never prosper, thrive, and enjoy success by living off of the meager, manipulative government handout. You must also be creative in developing streams of income that are difficult for the government to track. The money you make is yours, not Nancy Pelosi's or Chuck Schumer's or the IRS's or that of the bloated government bureaucracy. Not only should there be no tax on tips, there should be no federal income tax whatsoever. And then you must also resist government intrusion at every level. Tear up the forms. Ignore the questionnaires. Say no to the bureaucrat telling you to do this or else and think about living off the grid, off the government teat, and off the hypnotic social media complex. Fourthly, the fourth vulnerability of the federal dominion of demons is that when it is starved of its wealth and resources, it dies. When the federal dominion of demons is starved of its wealth and resources, it dies. The federal dominion of demons, the deep state, is utterly reliant upon earthly wealth and control of valuable resources. The more of these things it hoards and controls, the more power it retains over us. Wealth and power have always gone hand in hand, haven't they? Those who accumulate great wealth position themselves to acquire great power and vice versa. The notorious criminal congresswoman, Ilhan Omar, reported a negative worth of $45,000 when she entered Congress in 2019. Her latest financial disclosure reports, a net worth of $30 million. Oh, how'd that happen? And that's just what she's putting on paper. At the other end of the spectrum are the ultra-rich for whom wealth and influence are not enough. They seek to control the world, literally, like a James Bond villain or Emperor Palpatine. A high-profile example is Larry Fink, the co-founder, chairman, and CEO of BlackRock, the world's largest asset management firm, which manages over $14 trillion in assets. Now, he's one of the prime movers of DEI, that is, diversity, equity, and inclusion. He has said, and I quote, use capital loans and investments to enforce corporate adherence to DEI and sustainable goals. And he says, society must be forced to participate, unquote. Now, there are a handful of other tyrannical Nazis out there, like Bill Gates. Now, Nazism, Nazi is German acronym for national socialism. National socialism is nothing else but the exercise of power between corporations and government, precisely what's going on now with Bill Gates and Larry Fink, right? They use their wealth to manipulate governments around the world. And with that influence comes even more wealth, even more power, such that each grows exponentially. My Dutch great-grandparents were farmers in western Michigan in the 19th century. They had a dairy cow that produced great quantities of milk that brought in a lot of income. And from such examples, multiplied across the country, comes the cultural idiom cash cow. For any venture, whether it's criminal or legitimate, that brings in overflowing buckets of cash for its owners, there are two recent examples from the federal dominion of demons. Number one, the Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE. It exposed the cash cow USA. Elon Musk, I miss Elon Musk, he showed clearly how billions of dollars went to corrupt charities and individuals, ostensibly serving the poor and disadvantaged around the country and around the globe. Musk said it had become an illegal money laundering operation for left-wing nonprofits. Much of the funds for anti-ice operations, for example, have come from USAID, and it's been shut down. That's a pattern for the future. Secondly, reporter Nick Shirley uncovered the massive Somali daycare fraud in Minnesota, didn't he? Millions of dollars scammed from the federal government for daycare centers in Minneapolis, which have never functioned. The money was received, but nothing ever returned in services. These are only two examples. The federal dominion of demons has created a well-oiled machine by which an infinite number of government programs shovel wealth to left-wing NGOs, sham corporations, and corrupt individuals. And it's all funded by us, the American taxpayer. We are the cash cow, being milked dry because of these cynical, greedy demons. Several broad approaches need to be followed. For example, eliminate the individual income tax. The founding fathers were philosophically opposed to placing a direct tax upon income. They foresaw precisely what is occurring now, confiscatory taxation by a tyrannical federal system on the individual American. The soaring American eagle has become a devilish scrounging vulture, predating upon the dying corpse of the U.S. taxpayer. It took a constitutional amendment, the 16th, to thwart the founding fathers. It must be repealed to help starve the federal dominion of demons. And then secondly, we must eliminate the Federal Reserve. In 1913, the same year of the 16th Amendment, Congress created the Federal Reserve Bank. Ironically, though, it is in reality the polar opposite of its namesake. The Federal Reserve Bank is neither federal, it's owned by private banks, nor does it reserve anything. It lends out fast sums of dollars based upon fractions of deposits. And it is not a bank either. It transacts with other banks and federal governments exclusively. You'll never get a car loan from the Federal Reserve Bank. What it does is create fiat dollars, which have no real value. There's no gold or silver backing them, except the I say so of the government. And of course, the one who gets the bill to pay for these dollars is the American taxpayer, who must finance the debt created by those fiat dollars. The Fed does not create value. The Fed creates debt. Well, so corrupt has the Federal Reserve become that it is perhaps one of the top three existential threats to our republic. And the federal dominion of demons thrives on its use. If the Federal Dominion of Demons is the tick that is gorging on the host of the American taxpayer, then the Fed is the sticker that sucks in the blood from its host. We can help starve the Federal Dominion of Demons by eliminating its two major sources of wealth, the Federal Income Tax and the Federal Reserve. Number five, the fifth vulnerability of the Federal Dominion of Demons is when it is brought to strict justice for its crimes. The Federal Dominion of Demons must be brought to strict justice for its crimes. The 18th century English author Samuel Johnson observed this salient fact about human nature. He said, depend upon it, sir. When a man knows he is to be hanged in a fortnight, it concentrates his mind wonderfully. A fortnight was 14 days, two weeks. When a man knows he is to be hanged in a fortnight, it concentrates his mind wonderfully. Oh, by bringing true justice for the crimes of the Federal Dominion of Demons, we could concentrate many thousands of minds, dear listener. Presently, the Federal Dominion of Demons thrives on injustice. It has created a two-tier system of justice. That is, number one, just us, a particular favoritism. And then, number two, the rest of us. There is a top tier of favored status for those who have sold their souls to the evil one to thrive in their dominion. They get the Hillary treatment, that is excused from criminal consideration. They get the Biden blanket, that is his pardons, his blanket pardons. They get the Fauci immunity booster, that is immunity from prosecution for pandemic crimes. On we could go. Meanwhile, the rest of us are treated with rude injustice by these same evil players. January 6th protesters are thrown in prison for walking between the velvet ropes of Congress. Men like Rudy Giuliani are sued into bankruptcy for representing President Trump. Or they're sued like Mike Lindell of MyPillow for pursuing election fraud and exposing it to the world. Many further examples we could show. But it is now an open truism that in the U.S., the federal dominion of demons, the deep state, cannot be crossed. But the rest of us will be put upon a cross. If we do. The day has come to hold the federal dominion of demons, the deep state, accountable for this situation. And I have dealt with this extensively in other broadcasts. Like, number one, 10 things they want you to forget, but which I will never forget. That is from a broadcast on February 29 of this year. Or there's justice and only justice shall you follow. That is from November 3rd of 2024. Or there is the doctrine of the lesser magistrates. That's a three-part series, the biblical response to tyranny. And that begins on January 8 of 2023. Or there's holding our magistrates accountable. And that was broadcast on March 20th of 2022. And they can all be accessed at americastruths.org, americastruths.org. Now, this is a very effective way of killing the federal dominion of demons, bringing them to justice. Right now, there is no fear of God in them, and we must bring it. God is a just God. He demands justice. And we are His servants ordained to administer it. That is, we the people. And then sixthly, the sixth vulnerability of the federal dominion of demons, the deep state, is that they are vulnerable to the measured application of violence to counter their violence against us. Now, there is no escaping the need to meet force with force. No tyrant ever relinquished power peacefully. There are those who are willing to risk their lives to impose tyranny upon you, dear listeners. You must be willing to risk your own life if you will be free from them. Jefferson put it succinctly. He said, the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. Now, we are not calling for the initiation of violent resistance. No. But when violence is brought upon us by a tyrannical state, the federal dominion of demons, the deep state, then we have the right to resist it. That's the reason our founding fathers ensconced the Second Amendment into the Constitution. Ah, it's given not for hunting. Oh, no. Now, I have laid this out meticulously, once again, in previous broadcasts. Let me recommend to you our series on Oliver Cromwell or Guy Fawkes, Two Ways to Respond to Tyranny. And that began on October 31st of 2021 and then November 14th of 2021. And then there's also the Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates, which I mentioned earlier. All of these can be found on americastruths.org, americastruths.org. The federal dominion of demons is vulnerable to resistance, and it will inevitably lead and need to be applied, excuse me. Dear listeners, circumstances have come to such a point that we can safely say that the average American citizen is on his own. It's absurd to ask the federal dominion of demons to reform itself, to work against its own interests. Jesus said bluntly to the Pharisees, and if Satan cast out Satan, he's divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand? We cannot expect those demons to cast each other out of government, their dominion. Otherwise, their dominion would not stand. It will have to be we the people who destroy them. You now know their greatest vulnerabilities, dear listener. Only by the power of God will we be able to destroy this evil dominion, this deep state, and then reclaim and restore a Christian constitutional republic. Pray for it. Act upon it within your own sphere of influence. This has been Pastor David Bass at New Geneva Orthodox Presbyterian Church.
