The Candidate Who Wants to Destroy America

We’ve seen destruction recently of property and demonstrations in the streets of many of our cities because of supposed discrimination by police. We’ve heard Donald Trump talk of the system as being “rigged” so that Republicans have less of a chance of winning our nation’s top office. Jihadists send fear into the hearts of Americans — and yet, as we see them bring murder and mayhem to our communities, the administration can’t even say the words “Islamist terrorist.”

What in the world is going on?

Believe it or not, I believe we are not witnessing independent and unrelated events — but the outworking of a global plan put in place right after World War II. Why do I believe this? For many reasons. Recently, however, while studying to prepare to preach a four-week series entitled, “Making Sense Out of Nonsense,” I found some compelling proof.

The year was 1958, just three years after I was born. At that time, America was still painfully remembering the worldwide killing of 60 million men and women. That included 1,076,245 Americans of the Greatest Generation who went off to war and fought for our freedom. These patriots gave their all to rid the world of fascism and to stop the Axis Powers fixated on bringing the world under the rule of jack-booted thugs.

Adolf Hitler and Hirohito had designs on America and the free world. Only blood, sweat, prayer, and tears could stop them. Yet even then, there were people who embraced a radical global vision for world control that included a detailed, long-term strategy to destroy the United States. The vision embraced by these globalists thrives today, with some wishing to exercise leadership in our nation. One person who noted these strategies and was willing to enunciate them in 1958 was Robert Welch.

During my preparation for an exposé on the dangers of globalism to America, I found a clip of a speech Welch gave in 1974 that contained content he had written all the way back in 1958. It presented a 10-point strategy to diminish the influence of America and destroy her national sovereignty and economic strength. In a recent “Stand in the Gap Today” radio program from our team at the American Pastors Network, this clip was also used to help compare the positions and statements of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton in the candidates’ first debate.

While there is much information to analyze, these 10 points show how the “one world” globalists have tried to implement policies that would destroy our nation as we know it — and how the positions articulated by a certain party and their respective platform aligns with the globalists’ goal to destroy our nation.

Ask yourself: Will you vote to destroy America — or make it great once again?

Here are the 10 things Welch talked about. Consider which of the candidates for president agrees with each of these deas:

1.) Greatly expanded government spending for every conceivable means of getting rid of ever larger sums of American money as wastefully as possible.

2.) Higher, and then, much higher taxes.

3.) An increasingly unbalanced budget, despite higher taxes.

4.) Wild inflation of our currency.

5.) Government control of prices, wages and materials, supposedly to combat inflation.

6.) Greatly increased socialistic controls over every operation of our economy and every activity of our daily lives. This is to be accompanied, naturally and automatically, by a correspondingly huge increase in our bureaucracy and in both the cost and reach of our domestic government.

7.) Far more centralized power in Washington, with practical elimination of our state lines.

8.) The steady advance of federal aid to and control over our educational system leading to complete federalization of our public education.

9.) A constant hammering into the American consciousness of the horror of modern warfare; the duties and the absolute necessity of peace — peace always on communist terms, of course.

10.) The consequent willingness of the American people to allow the steps of appeasement by our government, which amount to a piecemeal surrender of the rest of the free world and of the United States itself. (These points are taken from the two speeches in 1958 and in 1974 by Robert Welch that discussed elements to weaken and destroy America.)

Do the 10 points above sound like ideas from Republican candidate Donald Trump and his supporters — or from Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and their Establishment supporters and cohorts?

Please pray with me that the eyes of Americans will be opened to what the evil among us want to do to our country to put us under their “jack boot” and make us all slaves. The Bible says we need to know the truth and the truth will make us free. I pray to God every day that it’s not too late for that to happen for us, our children, and grandchildren.

Measuring the Man

A Christian Pastor’s Analysis of the U.S. Election Drama

Is Trump good for America?

I mentioned Sunday that I would speak on this next week. Unfortunately, I found that I was shoehorning this topic into my planned message. To properly present what I want to speak on Sunday, I may have to leave the Donald out of it! But let me take a minute for those that wonder and give some of my thoughts.

When I first heard that Trump (DT) was entering the race last year, I told my wife that perhaps it was a good thing for the party and America. I knew that he was not a “saint,” but I thought that he would be like a bull in a china shop. He is a disrupter and I believe America could use a fresh thinker especially in the political arena. I didn’t think he would get the nomination, but that he would shake up politics as usual. I was correct on the shaking up!

Lance Wallnau likens him to a biblical Cyrus. Someone who is dynamically used of God even though not perceived by many as a God follower. God has used many people in history that I would probably not like or agree with. I’m not sure I would have liked all the disciples, or David, or Moses. Somehow, God did not seem compelled to consult with me on His choices!

I have always admired Winston Churchill. He is seen as one of the greatest national leaders in the 20th century. Last year, I had the privilege of going through the War Museum in London. Winston is a key feature. His life is controversial. He was not always celebrated as a great leader. He was a bombastic, cigar smoking, at times crude, even misogynistic leader. It is alleged that he told off color stories to his children before bedtime! A woman once told him he was disgustingly drunk. His response was “My dear, you are disgustingly ugly, but tomorrow I shall be sober and you will still be ugly!”

There are many websites that discuss the outlandish comments and activities of this great world leader. But, he had exactly what was needed to stop Hitler at the Channel, to rouse a nation to never give up and to partner with America to find final victory in Europe. You probably wouldn’t want him as your pastor, maybe not even your father, but he was the right leader for that moment in England’s history. Such a brazen man that would go up to the roof of his quarters in central London and smoke cigars as Hitler’s air force bombed all around him. I’m not sure I would have voted for him…. but he was the right man!

I think it would be awesome to have a righteous leader, one that understood the intricacies of the economy, health care, defense, immigration, with great sensitivity to religious institutions, a heart for the poor, a vision for the future. If that leader was a praying person, formidable in the word of God and loved the local church, I would rejoice! I do not think that is the choice we will have in November.

Instead….we will look for someone who is imperfect, yet will fit the times we are living in. Particularly, that ‘whoever’ we vote for, will be someone who might possibly have the opportunity to appoint up to three Supreme Court justices. That could radically shape our culture in America for the next 30 years. The America of our grandchildren could be very different….and that may not be good. We cannot stand on the sidelines. A non-vote is a passive vote for a direction we may very well regret.

So…is Donald Trump good for America? I honestly believe that he has been already. He has shaken the political system. Do his comments offend me? At times! Do I agree with all he says? Not at all! But could he be a “Cyrus” being raised up by God to preserve America? Nobody liked Gen. Patton, but he sure WAS an instrument of the United States for the right things.

This I know. I will vote for the best chance for America. I will pray for our leaders as I have already. In the end – God will continue to be my source and my hope. I do believe that God has had a hand in America’s history. I hope and pray that He will also have a saving hand in America’s futur
