Ashes To AshesRise of the Red Heifer

Red Heifer Important Facts

Unfortunately, a lot of untruths have been circulating in the Christian community regarding the status of Israel’s Red Heifers. Here are the facts.

God’s Command:

Then the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,“This is the statute of the law which the LORD has commanded, saying, ‘Speak to the sons of Israel that they bring you an unblemished red heifer in which is no defect and on which a yoke has never been placed. You shall give it to Eleazar the priest, and it shall be brought outside the camp and be slaughtered in his presence. Next Eleazar the priest shall take some of its blood with his finger and sprinkle some of its blood toward the front of the tent of meeting seven times. Then the heifer shall be burned in his sight; its hide and its flesh and its blood, with its refuse, shall be burned. Num. 19:1-5

God commands the Jews to BURN an unblemished fully red heifer (cow). This is not an animal sacrifice, rather, an animal burning. This is not to make atonement for sin, but rather, to gain the ashes to be used to purify a person. 

In the famous Daniel 9:24-27 prophecy, we know that the Jews WILL be making blood sacrifices in the Tribulation because the Antichrist will put a stop to them after the first 3 1/2 years (“middle”).

…in the middle of the week [middle of the 7 years of Tribulation] he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; Dan 9:27b

Israel Cannot Make Blood Sacrifices Without The Ashes

The main purpose of the ashes is to be used in purifying the High Priest to make atonement for his sins in order to carry out his duties for the Day of Atonement. To perform his duties he has to go behind the veil, where God dwelled, and consecrate Israel from sin. 

The ashes are also used for cleansing of individuals who have become unclean from Biblical prohibitions like touching a corpse. 

The one who touches the corpse of any person shall be unclean for seven days. … Anyone who touches a corpse, the body of a man who has died, and does not purify himself, defiles the tabernacle of the LORD; and that person shall be cut off from Israel. Because the water for impurity was not sprinkled on him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is still on him. Num. 19:11-13

The New Ashes Must Be Mixed With The Old Ashes

It’s imperative that Israel have both the ashes from a new red cow AND the diluted ashes from the time of Moses to mix together.* Each of the last nine times Israel used up 2/3s of the red heifer ashes, they mixed the last 1/3 with the new ashes from a new red heifer burning. 

This is sort of like an insurance policy, insuring the new ashes were connected, both physically (albeit quite diluted) and traditionally with the original Moses-era ashes. 

Connecting the ashes back to Moses is a big deal as he’s considered by the Jews to be almost god-like. They use this verse to make their point:

“…My servant Moses, He is faithful in all My household; With him I speak mouth to mouth, even openly, and not in dark sayings, and he beholds the form of the LORD.” Num. 12:7-8

There are other similar statements like Deut. 33:1 and Ps. 90:0 (Not a typo! "Ps. 90:0" See screen shot from my Bible on right)

Each time the ashes ran low, God provided another unblemished and fully red heifer to be burned. The next burning of the ceremonially clean all-red heifer will be the tenth red heifer burning. 

The main thing to understand is that just having qualified new ashes is not sufficient to cleanse anyone. They have to find some of the old ashes and mix them together. 

Otherwise, priestly duties could not be performed in a rebuilt 3rd Temple if no new ashes are mixed with the ancient ashes. 

When the ancient ashes are eventually discovered, they’ll be mixed with the new ashes and water running into the Pool of Siloam and put in a vessel (jug/pot).

...ashes of the burnt purification from sin and flowing water shall be added to them in a vessel. Num. 19:17b

Where Are The Old Ashes?

At the moment, Israel has no idea where the old ashes from the last Temple (time of Christ) are located. But there are archeological expeditions currently excavating near the northwestern end of the Dead Sea.

The location of these archeological digs is near Qumran where the Copper Scroll was found. The Copper Scroll was the only scroll hammered out on copper instead of writing on animal skin. You have to think they wanted to make sure the info on the scroll was preserved!

The Copper Scroll includes the long list of the hidden Solomon’s treasures. It also says the container with the Red Heifer’s ashes was hidden along with the Temple gold and silver before Babylon conquered Jerusalem in 586 BC. 

When eventually found, this would be far more valuable to the Jews than the hundreds of trillions of dollars worth of Solomon’s gold and silver hidden thousands of years ago.(1)

Where To Burn The Red Heifer

The above picture from the Temple Institute in Jerusalem gives you a good idea of where the ceremonially clean red heifer was burned—directly on a straight line from the Temple entrance/Golden Gate, across the Kidron Valley about 2,000 cubits, a “Sabbath’s day journey” (about 3,000 feet).

The original location of the heifer burnings is called the Miphkad Altar (means “appointed place”), and its location is either unknown or even possibly in the hands of the Muslims. If so, that’s an obstacle.

The picture above has a problem. 

The Mishnah (a revered ancient Jewish commentary) describes the burning as an all-day process using a pit. This would make sense to keep the wind from blowing away the ashes. So the above pic is incorrect.

Texas Ships Five Red Heifers To Israel

Five female red heifers were sent to Israel from Texas, arriving September 15, 2022. Eventually, due to close inspection, two of them were disqualified... which is a bad description. The two were technically considered "non-potential."

A heifer is only "qualified" when one is needed to burn. Until then, the correct phrasing is that a heifer is either "potential" or "non-potential."

After inspecting and discovering a couple of warts on its neck, the one named Seguela was deemed "non-potential."

Another one, named Nehama, was deemed "non-potential" due to non-red hairs found on the tail.

It's been widely reported that all five heifers were disqualified (again, "qualified" or "unqualified" is poor wording!). This was explained to me as a translation problem in the interview that someone did with Rabbi Azarial Ariel, who works for the Temple Institute in Jerusalem.

Speaking in Hebrew to the reporter, there was a misunderstanding regarding the difference between being "potential" and "non-potential."

Because of all the misinformation about the heifers being potential to burn for the ashes, Rabbi Ariel is considering conducting another interview or releasing a clarification statement.

But the bottom line is that there are still three "potential" red heifers in Israel today.

A practice burn...

Sequela (that had the warts) was later used in a practice burning done by the Texans who brought the heifers to Israel. Observers said it was not overseen by the Temple Institute.

After burning the heifer, the Texans took some of the ashes and were selling them. The Jews in charge of the Temple Institute were, understandably, quite ticked off. 

The four live remaining heifers, three currently deemed potentially acceptable, are currently being cared for in Shiloh, Israel, which is located about 20 miles north of Jerusalem. 

Shiloh is where the Tabernacle and the Ark of the Covenant resided from the time of Israel’s conquest (Joshua 18:1) until the Philistines captured the Ark of the Covenant (1Sam. 4), a total of 369 years. 

The heifers have become such a tourist attraction that Israel’s Ministry of Tourism constructed a building next to the heifers’ pens. Visitors come into the room, watch a video about the Red Heifers and then the screen rises so people can take pics of the cows a few feet away. 

I was able to track down the caretaker of the heifers in Israel—Larry. He says they’ve had groups as large as 1000 visit the red heifers' site, including Ambassador Mike Huckabee recently. 

Age of Heifer Being Burned

The age of the heifer must be at least two years and a day to be used for the ashes of the red heifer burning ceremony.  There’s no age limit above two years old, but the older they are, the less likely they will stay unblemished. 

Maintaining The Heifer Herd

Heifers will fight, kick and/or bite each other. And if a scar is found, they’re obviously no longer unblemished and therefore become unqualified. So they're fed in one pen and live in front of the tourist display in the other. The floors consist of crushed limestone. 

Caretaker Larry, who I was able to track down on the phone, has to purchase special food for the hefs because a normal hay bale usually has some weeds, dirt, rocks, or even wire mixed into the straw.

Buying clean, washed and packaged straw is sort of like buying individually wrapped organic food at the store…it's available, but expensive!

Larry feeds them twice a day, morning and night (including Shabbat/Saturdays), and in the middle of the day the hefs have their pics taken, sign autographs, etc. 🙂 (Just seeing if you’re paying attention!) 

A Potential Heifer Can Be Born Anywhere

The heifers don’t have to be born in Israel as the first one in Moses’ day was from Egypt. That’s why the Jews readily accepted the donation of the five heifers from Texas.

There’s been no red heifer in Israel for the past 2000 years. The fact that today they have three potentially qualified candidates is amazing, and consistent with the Church Age coming to a close when God begins dealing with Israel again on the front burner.

Signs of the Times!

(* For the record, there IS a debate as to whether or not the ancient ashes have to be mixed with the new since it’s a tradition and not in scripture. But if the mixing is not necessary, why would the container of ashes be listed on the Copper Scroll?)




Upcoming Events:

Our Steeling the Mind Bible Conference, March 14 in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, is catching a lot of attention. Tickets are selling steadily and we expect it to be another sellout. Join us for a day of outstanding Biblical armor!

This year we have another excellent slate of the top Bible teachers in America coming to Coeur d'Alene to steel our minds with EXCELLENT last-days information. Now's the time to armor-up to be used by the Lord in these eye-opening last days.

This is the Steeling conference's 33rd year, PTL! See an interesting long list of past Steeling speakers HERE

I must say, even after 33 years of organizing this conference, it still gets my blood pumping thinking about all the Believers coming to spend the day to armor up for the Biblical task at hand—being used by the Lord in these last days. 

Let's just say it's a room full of energy and excitement as Believers come together from across America!

For speakers this year we have the modern-day Christian speaker Fab Four—simply the top four Bible teachers in America: Andy Woods, Russ Miller, Alex Newman & Dave Reagan. None do it better!

And we've added two more for hot Signs of the Times speakers: Sherri Tenpenny and Dane Wigington.

Andy Woods - Bible Prophecy—7 Signs We're Close To Booming Out

Russ Miller - Apologetics—5 Easy Ways To Discredit Evolution

Alex Newman - Signs of the Times—Moving Toward The Mark

Dane Wigington - Signs of the Times—Lines In The Skies

Dave Reagan - Israel—How Israel Will Be Saved

Dr. Sherri Tenpenny - Signs of the Times—The Gifts of Covid

Immediately after the Covid Va((ine began rolling out, Dr. Tenpenny, an osteopathic physician (DO), recognized Covid and the Covid vaccine for what they truly were–part of a global scam using health scares for global population control.

She began exposing the medical corruption driving the dangerous and untested Covid va((ine in April 2021. She prophetically laid out how the shots would cause widespread death and disability.

As proof she was rattling Big pHARMa's front doors, they tried everything possible to shut her up, shut her down, and keep her quiet.

They put her on the infamous "Disinformation Dozen" list—which was a list of 12 people who the Globalists/Satanists claimed "Spread 73% of the Covid va((ine 'disinformation.'"

FYI—An organization linked to George Soros funds the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) — the group who came up with the Disinformation Dozen.

They also got her medical license suspended (later it was reinstated because they could not prove that a single thing she said was false).

For all the lives she saved she should have been given the Medal of Freedom.* Her Steeling presentation will undoubtedly be off-the-charts!

We've also added Dane Wigington from Geoengineering Watch to this year's line up. His research on what is going on in our skies will absolutely blow your mind. It's not good and it's not God!

So if you want to join us for a great day of Biblical armoring by the best steel-on-steel Bible teachers on the planet, and the most in-touch national lecturers, join us March 14, 2026 in Coeur d'Alene.

Invest a day, reap rewards for a lifetime!

What a privilege to armor up with this group of speakers!!

The "Voice of God" Weapon

.
How was the United States able to sweep in and capture the president of Venezuela without Venezuela military resistance or one soldier dying? The military hammer.
.
Fox News Reports:
Claims that a mysterious "sonic weapon" was used in Venezuela have fueled speculation about exotic U.S. military technology and its potential effects on the human body.
.
One eyewitness account from a Venezuelan guard, shared on social media by White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, claimed the weapon brought Venezuelan and Cuban security forces to their knees, "bleeding through their nose" and vomiting blood.
.
Known as a long-range acoustic device (LRAD), it’s been described as the "Voice of God," according to Mark Cancian, a retired Marine lieutenant colonel and senior adviser for the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
.
U.S. operators [apparently] deployed it as they were landing on the ground in Caracas, Venezuela, as a way to disorient security forces and warn them to drop their weapons.
.
LRADs can project spoken commands at intense volumes or emit a loud, piercing tone designed to get attention and deter movement. At close range, the sound can be painful and disorienting, and in extreme cases can damage hearing or rupture eardrums, but the devices are not designed to cause lasting physical harm.

A 10-Nation Board Of Peace Coming Together

CLICK HERE

Well now, this is quite interesting...

President Trump is pulling together 10 nations to oversee a Gaza peace plan. He has six nations on board so far: Egypt, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, Italy and Germany.

Daniel's image (Daniel 2) shows that in the last days there will be 10 nations (the 10 toes of the statue) that will come together, five toes from Europe/Rome/the western leg and five toes from the Middle East/Istanbul/the eastern leg.

So it's REALLY interesting to see that of the first six of these nations, so far, three are coming from Europe and three from the Middle East.

I have no idea if this will eventually fulfill the Daniel 2 prophecies, but it sure is interesting!

For what it's worth, I DO NOT  believe Donald Trump will miss the Rapture, become the world leader in the Tribulation trying to take over the world, and eventually become the Antichrist. He is not a homosexual and he's not Jewish.

“He will show no regard for the gods of his fathers or for the desire of women, nor will he show regard for any other god; for he will magnify himself above them all." Dan. 11:37 

But Donald Trump is similar to what the New World Leader will be like: He has a big mouth.

the boastful words which the horn was speaking; Dan. 7:11b

And we're seeing he could conquer the world.

Well, this looks promising!! This would have never seen the light of day two years ago!

peer-reviewed study published in Oncotarget reports that an orally administered ethanolic lemongrass extract (Cymbopogon citratus at ~80 mg/kg/day) dramatically suppressed tumor growth in a human lymphoma xenograft mouse model, while selectively inducing apoptosis in cancer cells and sparing normal cells.

In immunocompromised mice implanted with human non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (U-937) cells, animals receiving ethanolic lemongrass extract in their drinking water for three weeks developed dramatically smaller tumors than controls — with tumor growth suppressed by approximately 95% based on volume and mass measurements. Importantly, no weight loss or overt toxicity was observed during treatment.

I'm guessing, if the Lord doesn't come soon, we'll eventually see the entire va((nation schedule tossed.

Researchers Find Residual DNA, Not Detected by Standard Tests, in mRNA COVID Va((ines

Article

CLICK HERE

A new study found residual DNA in Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 mRNA vaccines.

A new laboratory analysis of commercially available mRNA COVID-19 vaccines found that residual DNA fragments — including sequences linked to the spike protein gene — remain in the final vaccine products.

According to the researchers, the DNA fragments exist in forms that standard regulatory testing methods don’t typically detect.

The researchers concluded that commonly used quality-control tests can underestimate total residual DNA by more than 100-fold, because the tests fail to detect DNA bound in RNA:DNA hybrid structures.

Their attempt to poison the world was more effective than we thought. Hopefully we're Raptured out before we begin to see too much death from the poison injected worldwide.

Don't Fall For The Flu Fear

10-minute video

CLICK HERE

Alarmist media coverage and public health messaging have branded this season’s flu a so-called “super flu,” but surveillance data from both the U.K. and the U.S. tell a more measured story.

While reports of influenza-like illness (ILI) have risen—as they typically do during winter—rates of laboratory-confirmed influenza remain within normal seasonal levels.

The distinction is often blurred in headlines, with ILI frequently conflated with confirmed flu infections.

Even public health officials acknowledge these limitations, along with the well-documented constraints of flu vaccine effectiveness, raising questions about whether the current narrative reflects the data.

Here's an example of FLU FEAR in 1440 Daily Digest (Exposing pHARMa's grip on them)

Here's another pic from my local pharmacy ... also exposing who's pulling their strings.... They have no idea they may be open to future lawsuits. Just saying...







69 Studies Link Vx To Turbo Cancer

Article

CLICK HERE

systematic review of 69 studies and reports on COVID-19 and cancer identified a possible safety signal linking COVID-19 vaccines and SARS-CoV-2 to certain types of cancer.

The study identified safety signals for leukemia, lymphoma, breast and lung cancer. The authors of the paper, published last week in the journal Oncotarget, said their findings suggest the need for further research.

The paper identified mechanisms — including the spike protein and DNA contamination found in some COVID-19 vaccine types — that might be responsible for triggering cancer.

The authors also addressed “several recurrent themes” in the studies they examined:

  • The “unusually rapid progression, recurrence, or reactivation” of preexisting conditions.
  • The “atypical” appearance of cancers near the point of vaccination.
  • The reactivation of dormant tumors.

Pfizer Sued By Group Claiming Birth Control Pills Caused Tumors

Article

CLICK HERE

A class action lawsuit claiming that Depo-ProveraPfizer’s popular birth control injection, caused brain tumors, is headed to trial.

A total of 2,132 women who developed brain tumors joined the class action lawsuit, which was filed in 2024. The women claim Pfizer knew that long-term use of Depo-Provera is linked to benign, though debilitating and potentially incurable brain tumors, but the drugmaker didn’t warn patients or regulators.

“Defendants willfully, wantonly, and intentionally conspired, and acted in concert, to ignore relevant safety concerns and to deliberately not study the long-term safety and efficacy of Depo-Provera, particularly in chronic long-term users of Depo-Provera,” the complaint states, according to an excerpt quoted by NBC News.

According to the Daily Mail, Depo-Provera “contains progestin, a synthetic version of the hormone progesterone, which prevents pregnancy by stopping ovulation and thinning the lining of the uterus.” The injection is administered every three months.

No surprise.




Most People Have No Idea How Close We Came

With the obvious exception of how all this is tied to Bible prophecy, I thought this was an interesting recap...

Repost of a FB post by Bob Hentz  

Most people have absolutely no idea what was happening beneath the surface when President Trump was handed this country. They only remember headlines. They do not understand the trajectory we were already on.
.
When President Trump took office, the United States was in a spiral. It was a controlled demolition.
.
The U.S. dollar was actively losing its grip as the world’s reserve currency. The rise of BRICS was accelerating, with nations openly planning alternatives to dollar dominance. Manufacturing had been gutted and hollowed out for decades.
.
Entire regions of America had been sacrificed on the altar of globalization. We were bleeding jobs, manufacturing, leverage, respect, and sovereignty. Our borders were being invaded daily…with no end in sight.
.
At the same time, the country was being quietly aligned with United Nations Agenda 2030 and the World Economic Forum vision of managed decline.
.
Centralized control. Global governance. Reduced national independence. This was not a theory. It was policy direction. We were being walked into a controlled collapse by design.
.
President Trump did not inherit a stable system. He inherited a rigged one that was already breaking.
.
That is why the moves he made looked drastic to people who did not understand the moment. The tariffs were not reckless. They were necessary! They are bringing massive amounts of money back into the United States and forced long overdue trade realignments.
.
Deals were renegotiated with China. Pressure was applied to the European Union. The era of America being the global piggy bank was challenged for the first time in generations.
.
If these things did not happen, we would have been in a critical position and would have been like Venezuela ourselves!
.
Large scale investments are flowing back into the United States right now…not just from corporations, but from foreign governments that suddenly understand America is no longer asleep.
.
Manufacturing is beginning to return. Supply chains are being rebuilt. The hemorrhaging is stopping.
.
This is not about optics. It is about stopping the bleeding.
.
Then came the internal reckoning. Wasteful spending that had become normalized for decades was finally confronted. The use of DOGE and the partnership with Elon Musk to expose inefficiencies was not a sideshow.
.
It was a pressure release valve. Entire systems that existed only to funnel money into black holes are being challenged and exposed. And it is only the beginning!
.
USAID, in many cases, functioned as a laundering operation disguised as humanitarian aid. That reality is uncomfortable for people who prefer slogans over truth. But it is true.
.
Billions were flowing with little accountability, often against America’s own interests, to NGOs and hostile organizations.
.
And now we are seeing the next necessary step. Securing our hemisphere. Reasserting boundaries. Reintroducing the Monroe Doctrine in a modern context. Not imperialism. Protection. Stability. Survival.
.
The critics do not understand this because they never understood the depth of the problem.
.
This country was not headed toward a mild recession. We were headed toward becoming Venezuela. Currency erosion.
.
Dependency. Global control. Internal collapse masked by endless spending. If President Trump had not intervened, that trajectory would have continued uninterrupted.
.
Uninformed people truly have no idea how close we came to economic destruction.
.
This was not politics. This was triage.
.
And whether people like his style or not, whether they agree with every decision or not, the truth remains. We were pulled back from the edge.
.
The collapse was interrupted. The direction was reversed.
.
Everyone should be thanking God right now.
.
Because history will show that this was not about one man. It was about a moment where the trajectory of an entire nation changed.
.
And, we are not out of the woods yet. We need to continue to pray. This latest move was a gamble, but it was necessary. And there is a lot more that needs to be done to make this all turn around.
.
We need to pray that the Ukraine war comes to an end. Let’s also pray for what’s happening in Iran right now.
.
Let’s keep praying and believing that God is going to move in a mighty way. It’s time for us to wake up. It’s time for us to thank God. It’s time for us to pray for this great nation.



Cuba Collapsing 

Epoch Times Reports:

Cuba is on the verge of economic collapse, and there’s no immediate relief on tap from longtime patron Russia or Cuba’s biggest trading partner, China.

Its tenuous ties to nearby Mexico are likely to be severed soon, leaving the island nation seemingly out of options for replacing the discounted oil it imported from Venezuela to fuel its economy and provide the communist regime with hard currency.

But there is, perhaps, a solution being dangled by the oil’s new proprietor, the United States.
.
“There will be no more oil or money going to Cuba—Zero! I strongly suggest they make a deal, before it’s too late,” President Donald Trump wrote on Jan. 11 on Truth Social, mostly in all caps.
.
The president didn’t elaborate on what such a deal would entail, but Secretary of State Marco Rubio, whose parents left Cuba for Florida in the 1950s, outlined a possible arrangement during a Jan. 9 White House meeting with oil executives.

“The people in control in Cuba have a choice to make,“ Rubio said. ”They can either have a real country with a real economy, where their people can prosper, or they can continue with their failing dictatorship that’s going to lead to systemic and societal collapse.”

‘Things Falling Apart’

Because heavily discounted crude oil from Venezuela is now under the management of the Trump administration, since the Jan. 3 raid that captured Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, Cuban leader Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez’s choices are limited.

Cuba’s gross domestic product has declined 10 percent since 2019, according to the Cuban economy minister, Reuters reported. Its economy has shrunk by at least 15 percent since 2018, according to the Michigan Journal of Economics.
.
The average annual inflation rate has stood at more than 26 percent since 2005, according to the country’s official data.

Food, medicine, and fuel shortages are a fact of daily life.

More than 2.7 million Cubans—nearly a quarter of its population—have fled since 2020, according to a July 2024 report published by Columbia Law School.

Rolling blackouts often cripple its antiquated grid for hours, forcing “non-essential” workplaces and schools to close, straining its struggling agricultural and tourism industries, Cuban state-run news website Cubadebate reported.

Not only did Cuba import an average of 27,000 barrels of oil a day from Venezuela between January and November in 2025—according to shipping data and documents from Venezuelan state oil company PDVSA reported by Reuters—but also, Havana resold a significant percentage for much-needed cash.
.
In 2011, Cuba’s oil imports from Venezuela were 100,000 barrels a day, according to a 2015 report presented to the U.S. International Trade Commission by Cuba expert Jorge R. Piñon.
.
Often, in mid-sea transfers to shadow fleet tankers engaged in what the United States defines as the “illicit movement of sanctioned oil” to third-party buyers, mostly in China and India.

“So you’ve got all these things falling apart, and it gets to be connected with, ‘Well, OK, how long is the government of Cuba going to last?’” said Gregory Copley, president of the Washington-based International Strategic Studies Association and an opinion contributor to The Epoch Times.

“Like Venezuela, the answer to that is ‘not very long.’”

Cuba has survived decades of U.S.-imposed sanctions since Fidel Castro led a 1959 revolution that established communist rule.




When Is It Time To Leave A Church?

Woke Christianity is the single greatest threat to the modern church since the first century.

There are two ways to tell if your church or religious organization has gone woke. First, what’s missing? And second, what replaced what’s missing?

If you are serious about having to make the break, it's a BIG decision, so here are some articles that will give you some things to consider. (A wise man has multiple counselors.)

Inside The Deep State Coup

.
.
A great read by General Michael Flynn. Shows how out-of-control the Dims had gotten. Here's a sample quote from the article:

What we really faced in 2016 and 2017 — and what America still faces today — is an out-of-control Deep State using an intelligence-industrial complex weaponized against its own citizens.

It is a “color revolution” seeking to replace a government, but aimed directly at the United States instead of some foreign nation in Eastern Europe or Africa.

This enemy within remains an existential threat to America and her constitutional system of government.

This color revolution is far from over. The players behind it are still out there, from key insiders in the corrupt legacy media to those inside the government.

These anti-American revolutionaries are still at work, rejecting our system and working toward communism, globalism, and all sorts of other “isms” incompatible with the U.S. Constitution.
