The recent revelation of the January search warrant issued by Barack Obama-appointed Judge Beryl Howell to obtain all user information associated with former President Trump’s Twitter account is no less a chilling sign of tyranny upon every American. That Democrat-appointed Special Prosecutor Jack Smith, who is investigating Trump, colluded with Howell to get such a widespread warrant clearly indicates it’s more than Trump they are pursuing—it’s every American citizen who may dissent from the leftist-controlled government and administrative system.

This is setting a standard of tyranny against you that those who disagree with you can and will prevent you from exercising your Constitutionally guaranteed freedoms.

In his book Democracy in America, Volume II (1840), Alexis de Tocqueville defines soft tyranny:

“It [the government] covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men are seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence: it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd.”

This is his definition of soft tyranny.

If you are hindered from speaking your mind due to concern of unforeseen consequences that may invite some government investigation, or social scoring, or ruination, you are a victim of soft tyranny.

Galatians 5:1 says, “Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.”

A free people can only exist by adhering to the precepts of God. Bondage is bondage, whether it is sin or tyranny. We live in a society where a very vocal minority is using corporations and government to usurp your Constitutional rights.

Isaiah 5:20 says, “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness…”

These evil minions are using darkness to extinguish the light of liberty.

We must speak boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel. Even though many respond with hatred and accuse you based on the very intents of their own hearts, they will not know the truth unless someone tells them. We would not know sin had we not known the laws of God.

Don’t be a victim of soft tyranny. Right is greater than might.

As Ephesians 6:12-13 says, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against power, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”

Soft tyranny is evil. If we don’t stand against it in this country of God-given liberty, we become victims of, say it with me… Stupidocrisy

In his book Eye to Eye: Facing the Consequences of Dividing Israel, author and friend Bill Koenig draws the correlation that when the United States takes action to pressure Israel to divide her land, major natural, economic or political disaster follows within 24-48 hours. He has documented these phenomena over the last 30 years. It is irrefutable.

When you consider what has happened in Israel in the Hamas attack and all the subsequent violence here in the US driven by hate for Jews and Israel, the actions of Joe Biden in trying to once again divide the land of Israel by restoring control of Gaza to the terrorist-backed Palestinian Authority may result in disastrous consequences.

In an Op-Ed for the Washington Post, Biden renewed the call for a “two-state” solution as the only answer to resolve the issue between Israel and “Palestinians.” He wrote:

“As we strive for peace, Gaza and the West Bank should be reunited under a single governance structure, ultimately under a revitalized Palestinian Authority, as we all work toward a two-state solution.”

Then Biden turned the table, pointing out that the US will not stand for violence against “Palestinians” in the West Bank (Judea and Samaria) by Israeli settlers. He said,

“I have been emphatic with Israel’s leaders that extremist violence against Palestinians in the West Bank must stop and that those committing the violence must be held accountable,” adding the US will take its own steps against such “extremists attacking civilians in the West Bank.”

The statement did not remotely mention that Israeli settlers have the right to defend themselves against the attacks of “Palestinians.”

Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded, vowing,

“In Gaza, after the destruction of Hamas, and for a long time thereafter, there will not be a regime that encourages terror, that teaches terror, that funds terror — that also indoctrinates about the destruction of Israel and the murder of Jews — this will not be.”

The Palestinian Authority (PA) ran Gaza before Hamas took over. During that time (1994-2007), the PA oversaw ongoing missile attacks and instituted a “pay for slay” incentivizing terrorism against Israelis by providing pensions to terrorists killed in the act of killing Jews. This practice continues today, as well as schools that educate children that Jews are pigs and encouraging hate.

God tells Abram in Genesis 12:2-3,

“And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless you, and curse him that curses you: and in you shall families of the earth be blessed.”

And so, throughout history, those who blessed Israel were blessed, and those who cursed Israel were cursed. This promise is one that can be traced throughout not only the texts of the Bible but also through the texts of historical accounts written by many across the ages. From the empire of Babylon to the Roman Empire to Nazi Germany, those who blessed Israel and its people were blessed, and those who cursed them were cursed.

There may be tough times ahead as Biden pursues his relentless policies supporting terrorists while giving lip service to supporting Israel.
