Entering 2026, there was a louder and more heartfelt call to make this a better year. This year’s outcry had more bite. But no, no relief for thinking caring people. In less than a week, the wicked king has deployed the trillion-dollar war machine abroad, and a peaceful American just died in the ongoing military assault against citizens in the streets.
This week they head-shot a white mother, whose ex-husband told reporters she was a Christian stay-at-home mom. That’s a problem for the wicked king. That is exactly who his MAGA/Christian nationalism is supposed to support. So, all the king’s horses and all the king’s men are desperate to cover this up.
They numbed us to school shootings. Don’t let them numb us to people being slain in the streets by masked gestapo-types. It’s the same political machine.
The Wicked King Continues the Beat Down of America
Calling him a wicked king is not entirely folly
Powerful irreligious persons actively promote the wicked king as necessary to pave the way for the King of Kings. Yes, God uses wicked men for glory and to rule, but it has always involved contrition and atonement, and does not minimize and defend sin. The wicked king’s life trajectory suggests he ‘doubles down’ and dies in his mess, without remorse. A mysterious way, indeed.
The irrelevance of ideology
The MAGA types I turn with got high as kites over the Venezuela display of power. “Whatever your ideology, whatever you think is right, you gotta admit that precision extraction was f…ng badass. If we can do that it’s all ours; we can do whatever we want.” This visceral rush is a direct durable connection between MAGA and the wicked king. If MAGA won’t stand up on Epstein, Maduro is essentially a non-issue, another useful diversion. As Trump professes to commandeer the hemisphere and upset the world order, MAGA is at something of a crossroads. As the culture war loses steam, they simply flip to new open talk of taking the world by force. There might be another hiccup when the dreaded ‘boots hit the ground.’ But truthfully, common folk of any ideology don’t get a seat at the table of privilege now being set.
How the wicked king is enabled and protected
What the thinkers cannot publicly admit
Thomas B. Edsall recently wrote a thoughtful, well-researched article for the NY Times asking, “Why Does Trump Get Away With It?”. I agree with the article in most all regards, and it helped this analysis. However, as it is with coverage of most every USA issue and opportunity, mainstream media is consistently stopping short of the obvious punch line. People are heartily sick of immoral politics, yet we are under oppressive, even deadly, denial. We need to fess up on the root cause as referenced in the chart above.
The USA will continue to unravel and we will make no meaningful recovery unless we take a stand on these:
- We are effectively operating under a merged church and state, which is against the will of the people and the Constitution. This condition is accelerating the erosion of the rule of law, and is interconnected with the rise of fascism, especially with Israeli.
- The imperialist strategy is at a direct cost to the people. The homeland cannot have healthcare, but it is subsidized for Israel. Given Venezuela, the wicked king is accelerating a regression to imperial colonialism consistent with pre-WW1. It is the old defunct British colonialism play. US-Israel imperialism has already established we are a pariah, in violation of international law and the United Nations. Witness Gaza.
- Bipartisanship under oligarchy has sold and hollowed out the USA. Establishment politicians rule the protectors side of the power dichotomy, the state. The two parties have consistently undercut meaningful union efforts. No political group is serving the working class, or even listening. Either party could establish a platform that takes a democratic stand on the issues, but that does not serve the monied interests, so they don’t. The bipartisanship establishment has been the pivotal tool for neo-conservatism, and now they anticipate to morph into neo-colonialism.
About some of the enablers
The wicked king enablers are organized and applied on the religious side of the dichotomy. Operational groups are so-called evangelicals, charismatics, independent churches, and variations of traditional doctrines. They are independent of law and protocol and hold significant favor with the wicked king. For decades, most have operated under the Seven Mountains mandate. Christian nationalism is the voting block aligned with MAGA that annoints the wicked king; a most prime enabler.
Diabolical division and hatred
Calculated, coordinated division gives way to hatred, and this lets the king flourish. White Christian nationalists routinely build up the hatred and discrimination upon which the king depends. This includes, for example, indoctrination of children through Turning Point USA, and other misuses of public funds.
If it sounds convoluted and ill-fated, it’s because it is. Political scientists and philosophers have long observed this cultish behavior. And Christian nationalists are the dependable core of today’s hate machine, the echo chamber, essentially one and the same with MAGA. A sin-fest. This is no accident; it is well-orchestrated and refined over decades. Basically, by definition they are fakes, not of Jesus. Hell bound, if it matters.
The wicked king’s minions have to have somebody against whom they can define themselves, a somebody they can say is not them (since they are the real Americans), somebody who can be claimed to have wronged them or had unfair advantages. The divided ‘us and them’ foments hatred, so that the followers of the wicked king can be righteous proud somebodies, heard and entertained. They are a viable force whose devotion means they can be depended upon to do the king’s will, whatever it is, even tantamount to worship. Vote him in? No problem.
The persistent dark call
Listen to Moody Radio (like 91.1 out of Tampa) to hear a fine example of unadulterated propaganda by and for Christian nationalism. These “evangelists” are not your friends. When every featured story and answer leads to promotion and support of Israel, you experience the irreligious nature and it becomes clear how they can be “commercial free” radio. They are another extension of oppressive Israel, have the obligatory sex scandals, and enjoy US government subsidy.
Revolution is not revival
Right-leaning David French writes opinions for the NY Times, including meaningful perspectives on Christianity. In an October article, he took MAGA Christianity to task. He exposed them as having the characteristics of political religious kingdoms of ages past. (Let me know if you need access to the article). He showed, using beautiful loving logic, how Christian nationalists do not represent anything close to a genuine Christian revival as they claim. French covers aspects of the Christian ‘revival versus revolution’ topic in this seven minute YouTube.
A blatant example of revolutionary structural changes to Christianity by extremists is the promotion of empathy as a sin. They say beware the sin of empathy, lest you identify too much with illegal immigrants, gay people, or women who seek abortions. Too much empathy, their theory goes, can block moral and theological clarity. So, don’t let your soul get clouded up with empathy.
For authentic faith and vibrant democracy
He’s only a wicked king and not the wicked king because the wanna-be’s are lined up behind him to take over.
So, some wicked king will continue to have his way unless the people manage to stand together. Democrats are riding high on the genius of their do-nothing plan. How can they not win this election cycle given the GOP train wreck, they ask? The Democrats seem anxious to tap in to the newly uncovered presidential powers.
Yes, bad religion has become the vital enabler of the wicked king. And politicians dutifully deliver all manner of protections. This is the melding of church and state. We must stop being blind and subserviant to US-Israel imperialist debauchery, to which both parties subscribe.
