The following report is by John & Nisha Whitehead from the Rutherford Institute:
Pay no heed to the circus politics coming out of Washington DC. It’s just more of the same grandstanding by tone-deaf politicians oblivious to the plight of the citizenry.
Don’t allow yourselves to be distracted by the competing news headlines cataloging the antics of the ruling classes. While they are full of sound and fury, they are utterly lacking in substance.
Tune out the blaring noise of meaningless babble. It is intended to drown out the very real menace of a government which is consumed with squeezing every last penny out of the population.
Focus instead on the steady march of the police state at both the national, state and local levels, and the essential freedoms that are being trampled underfoot in its single-minded pursuit of power.
While the overt and costly signs of the despotism exercised by the increasingly authoritarian regime that passes itself off as the United States government are all around us—warrantless surveillance of Americans’ private phone and email conversations by the FBI, NSA, etc.; SWAT team raids of Americans’ homes; shootings of unarmed citizens by police; harsh punishments meted out to schoolchildren in the name of zero tolerance; drones taking to the skies domestically; endless wars; out-of-control spending; militarized police; roadside strip searches; privatized prisons with a profit incentive for jailing Americans; fusion centers that collect and disseminate data on Americans’ private transactions; and militarized agencies with stockpiles of ammunition, to name some of the most appalling—you rarely hear anything about them from the politicians, the corporations or the news media.
So what’s behind the blackout of real news?
Surely, if properly disclosed and consistently reported on, the sheer volume of the government’s activities, which undermine the Constitution and dance close to the edge of outright illegality, would give rise to a sea change in how business is conducted in our seats of power.
Yet when we’re being bombarded with wall-to-wall news coverage and news cycles that change every few days, it’s difficult to stay focused on one thing—namely, holding the government accountable to abiding by the rule of law—and the powers-that-be understand this.
As with most things, if you want to know the real motives behind any government program, follow the money trail.
When you dig down far enough, you quickly find that those who profit from Americans being surveilled, fined, scanned, searched, probed, tasered, arrested and imprisoned are none other than the police who arrest them, the courts which try them, the prisons which incarcerate them, and the corporations, which manufacture the weapons, equipment and prisons used by the American police state.
These injustices, petty tyrannies and overt acts of hostility are being carried out in the name of the national good—against the interests of individuals, society and ultimately our freedoms—by an elite class of government officials working in partnership with megacorporations that are largely insulated from the ill effects of their actions.
Everywhere you go, everything you do, and every which way you look, we’re getting swindled, cheated, conned, robbed, raided, pickpocketed, mugged, deceived, defrauded, double-crossed and fleeced by governmental and corporate shareholders of the American police state out to make a profit at taxpayer expense.
Not only are Americans forced to spend more on taxes than the annual financial burdens of food, education and clothing combined, but we’re also being played as easy marks by hustlers bearing the imprimatur of the government.
Examples of this legalized, profits-over-people, government-sanctioned extortion abound: On the roads. In the prisons. In the schools. In the endless wars abroad. In the form of militarized police. In profit-driven schemes such as asset forfeiture. By the security industrial complex. By a government addicted to power.
This perverse mixture of government authoritarianism and corporate profits has increased the reach of the state into our private lives while also adding a profit motive into the mix. And, as always, it’s we the people, we the taxpayers, we the gullible voters who keep getting taken for a ride by politicians eager to promise us the world on a plate.
This is a far cry from how a representative government is supposed to operate.
Indeed, it has been a long time since we could claim to be the masters of our own lives. Rather, we are now the subjects of a militarized, corporate empire in which the vast majority of the citizenry work their hands to the bone for the benefit of a privileged few.
Adding injury to the ongoing insult of having our tax dollars misused and our so-called representatives bought and paid for by the moneyed elite, the government then turns around and uses the money we earn with our blood, sweat and tears to target, imprison and entrap us, in the form of militarized police, surveillance cameras, private prisons, license plate readers, drones, and cell phone tracking technology.
With every new tax, fine, fee and law adopted by our so-called representatives, the yoke around the neck of the average American seems to tighten just a little bit more.
All of those nefarious deeds by government officials that you hear about every day: those are your tax dollars at work.
It’s your money that allows for government agents to spy on your emails, your phone calls, your text messages, and your movements. It’s your money that allows out-of-control police officers to burst into innocent people’s homes, or probe and strip search motorists on the side of the road. And it’s your money that leads to Americans across the country being prosecuted for innocuous activities such as growing vegetable gardens in their front yards or daring to speak their truth to their elected officials.
As I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People and in its fictional counterpart The Erik Blair Diaries, this is not freedom, America.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Whitehead’s statements echo a lot of the sentiments I have been voicing for years now. The political dog & pony show is all a big waste of your time. We are told year in and year out that we have to go vote and participate in our “civic duties;” and yet here we are now, with true liberty and freedom in this country vaporized, and people still are complicit in being oppressed.
The people are only getting what they vote and pay for…
[8] Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever: [9] That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD: [10] Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits: [11] Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us. [12] Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon: [13] Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant. Isaiah 30:8-13
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

yeah, I agree with that chapter of the Bible as well.
It’s frightening (but just on a nation that rejects and attacks the King James Bible) but I still stay lifting my voice like a trumpet “Repent! Things are only gonna get worse, America will never be great again, it’s time to repent and return to the King James Bible.”
Meanwhile, Americans dismiss and shun us like a bunch of Bible thumping conspiracy theorist kooks and say “I hope the Cowboys are going to the super bowl.” Bread and circus is all most of them care about.
America is a nation founded on freemasonry and the Illuminati. This nation will be seriously be judged by God.
Yes you got a point, Joseph. Although it started out as based on the King James Bible, the Freemasons/Illuminati and their Jesuit puppet masters pretty much laid the foundation and God is going to judge it severely!
Give God the glory for it and also pray, fast, repent, and prepare.
A police force can only work as a just police force as long as the government, the people, and the police have the proper, healthy respect for each other. Some of the following is what you get once that respect is destroyed.
A citizenry who disregards the just laws of the land, causing the just police officers to suffer setbacks in their law-bringing or simply causing them to shrink back and let the criminal mob to have their way. Many recent riots in America resulting in mass theft and destruction are a good example of this.
A government unafraid to con the populace and to intact unjust laws, even to the point of outright murdering and enslaving it’s own people. Both Nazi Germany and the modern day United States are great examples of this, albeit it in their own different, unique ways.
Officers either all too unwilling to enact unjust laws, if not go above the law for their own goals and entertainment. Civil forfeiture, participating in and covering up for legalized slavery/abuse, the various police organizations with the Nazi/Soviet dictatorships, and covering up for certain people/people groups are prime examples of this.
The end result however is ultimately the same, the destruction of said nation by the Lord Jesus himself, in his own time of course of which he has many…many unique and devastating ways to do this. And even more so the individual sinner involved in this wickedness faces far worse, the burning in hell, then the Great White Throne Judgement where all their wickedness is laid bare, before being cast into the lake of fire.
You nailed it. Martial law is coming next. With the massive rise in crime, theft, and murder; the invasion of illegals; and anarchy and “domestic terror” and “right-wing extremism” (so-called), it’s the next step. Sweden is already starting to do that, and Trump was heavily insinuating it when he was in office, and has campaigned on it before and now, with biometrics and military on the streets to shoot people.
Look; God’s not going to judge this nation; God IS JUDGING this nation right this very moment; it is over and it is NOT coming back or better! What Saved Brethren need to do is keep family close, stay armed and KEEP GOD and ya Bible closer; pay your debts and hold on, for it’s going to be a wild ride.
Yup. Jeremiah 30:12 For thus saith the LORD, Thy bruise is incurable, and thy wound is grievous.
