The United States Is Being Torn Apart

 Today, at the American Thinker J.B. Shurk has an excellent article entitled Hell Must Be Empty. As you read the article, you will soon find out why. Spoiler alert, it is because all the devils and demons seem to be tormenting us.

In New York City, the bad guys have long understood an unwritten rule: you don’t hit a cop. In the past, doing so put you at the top of the NYPD’s to-do list and ensured that you would not be free on the streets for long. When 30,000 officers are tasked with securing a metropolis of nine million residents, the impenetrability of the “thin blue line” is a matter of life and death. When video emerged of a group of illegal aliens wrestling two cops to the ground near Times Square and beating them with fists and feet, that thin blue line got thinner. When news broke that the offenders were released without bail and that a left-wing “charity” had likely given them a free ride to California, the blue line all but disappeared.

By looking the other way as criminal invaders attack the people charged with protecting the city, NYC mayor Eric Adams and district attorney Alvin Bragg not only betray their duties to those who risk their lives every day for others’ safety, but also prove their complicity with those who wage war against citizens of the United States. Before he disappeared without a care in the world, one of the foreign nationals apprehended for the attack left Manhattan Criminal Court with two middle fingers extended into the air and a broad smile across his face. It was an “F you” to all Americans from a man who should never have been allowed to illegally enter the United States in the first place. At the same time, it sure felt as if Adams, Bragg, Biden, Mayorkas, and all the other open-borders advocates and politicians were really the ones flipping off desperate American citizens whose decades-long pleas for secure borders have been entirely ignored.

Gentle readers can read the rest of Shurk's article, which lists a long train of abuses. I don't want to rehash these, as most reader will recognize them if you have been paying attention over these years. I want to get to the end of the article, from which the title comes

Forget “two-tiered justice.” This is just plain old evil disguised as politics. Only in a nation under attack from demonic forces would J6 political hostages be imprisoned for exercising their First Amendment rights at the U.S. Capitol when a congressional staffer can make gay porn videos in a Senate hearing room without any risk of ever being charged for a crime. Only in a nation suffering from the widespread proliferation of evil would the Department of (in)Justice seek decades-long prison sentences for peacefully protesting Americans who dare to speak out against abortion, while federal agents routinely look the other way as “unknown assailants” vandalize and firebomb the buildings of Christian churches, pro-life organizations, and politically conservative groups. Only in a nation whose government chooses to embrace evil and reject godliness could a Christian veteran be charged for the “hate crime” of destroying a demonic shrine celebrating Satan. When adherence to moral conscience is criminalized and the protection of flagrant sin becomes government’s chief concern, there can be no doubt that evil has risen from the shadows and seized control of the State. When Christians are punished for their convictions and Satan has more friends in political office, it is clear that America’s institutions are rotting from the inside.

Once that decay begins, it is difficult to save the host without first severing the cancer from the body. It is why government-engineered injustices now occur with almost daily regularity. Consider a few of the startling news stories of just the last few weeks. A group of international scientists is calling for a global moratorium on COVID “vaccines” because a peer-reviewed study concludes, “For every life saved, there were nearly 14 times more deaths caused by the modified mRNA injections.” Meanwhile, there is now documentary evidence that the CDC intentionally covered up risks from the experimental, yet largely mandated, treatments — particularly the risk of myocarditis. Switching to the growing evidence of 2020 election fraud, unearthed documents confirm that the FBI and Michigan authorities were notified of “alarming” witness accounts attesting to “ballot fraud in Detroit.” How was that situation resolved? The FBI buried its head in the sand, and Michigan’s Attorney General Dana Nessel charged sixteen Republican alternate electors with felony fraud crimes. Not wanting Michigan’s rampant election-rigging and political persecution to get all the glory, PBS (the Marxist news organization that Americans are forced to support with taxes) confirmed that Congress’s partisan January 6 Committee was never anything more than shameless political theater meant to tilt the 2022 midterms toward the Democrat party. Finally, in international news, even though the Biden administration has been forced to temper its support for a U.N. agency implicated in the October 7 attack on Israel, nobody is surprised that the U.N.’s terrorists have still been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize.

The language Shurk uses is the language Christians use to describe these things: Evil. Moreover, that Evil has a face, which is given many names: Lucifer, Satan, Beelzebub and so on. By whatever name you call him, he exists just as surely as The Most High God exists.

Now, in his time on earth, Jesus cast out many demons. My mother told me that these were just people with epilepsy or whatever. But if you believe, as I do, that Jesus was the divine Son of God, he would have been even more able to determine whether someone had a mere physical ailment (many of which he healed) or had a demon possessing him. Even now, exorcists of the Church take great care in deciding if someone is truly possessed or is suffering from some psychological problem. But the demons knew Jesus, and he knew them.  Interestingly, the fact that so many of us are baptized and sealed with the cross is probably why so few suffer from demonic possession today. For baptism is not merely the act of passing through water, but a form of protection from the demons.  And demonic possession exists.

Whether our president is possessed, or merely controlled by others who are, I don't know. We pray for him at Sunday services. But the vast effort to defeat the United States and Israel is a generation-to-generation plan, executed over at least 140 years, maybe longer. Such a plan, where so many participants could not expect to succeed, but still marched on implies a malevolent intelligence behind the scenes orchestrating the strategy and tactics used.

There is some good news for people currently working for the dark side. Our God is merciful. You may lose His protection by rejecting Him and His saving grace. But if anyone repents, he can regain that salvation. I am here to tell you that is true. An even more powerful example of someone who repented is the story of Bella Dodd, who worked for the Communists before repenting and becoming a Christian who exposed the Communist infiltration into the schools and churches.

Hell is not empty, I am sure, because so many do not want to be close to God.  Nevertheless, it is true that the United States is being torn apart.
