Throw All the Palestinian Protestors in Jail: Why Burning the American Flag or Desecrating it in any way is Treasonous and Deserves Severe Punishment

My position on the burning of the American flag at the Capitol during the summer of 2024 by Palestinian protestors is unforgivable, and they should all be thrown in jail.  To my way of thinking about the issue, if a person, American citizen or not, decides to desecrate the flag, then that is a conscious statement of rebellion and un-American activities meant to overthrow the country, and it cannot be allowed to occur.  These kinds of actions are not protected free speech under the First Amendment.  They are treasonous, detrimental, and meant to inspire insurrection.  Any legal argument to the contrary is founded on the progressive interpretation of case law, not on the intent or scope of actual American law.  Legal people have been getting this separation of church and state issue wrong for hundreds of years, and it’s time to address the problem for future clarity.  If you burn or desecrate the American flag in any way, even kneeling at an NFL game when required to stand, you deserve severe punishment up to prison and possibly even all the options under treason.  By desecrating the American flag, the provocateur is stating that they do not support the values for which that flag stands and are abandoning the protections of the American Constitution.  It’s just like the premise of swearing to tell the whole truth, so help you, God, while putting a hand on the Bible.  Without a profession of shared values, you cannot have a civil discourse.  So if the American way of life is criticized through protest where desecration of fundamental values takes place, such as these radical Palestinian protesters involved themselves, they do not get the legal protection of the First Amendment.   And that’s not up for debate in any legal circle.  Here’s why. 

I love the concept of a law and order society, as I have said many times, many, many times—a few of my favorite books are The Federalist Papers and The Anti-Federalist Papers.  I read them all the time, and they are never far from my reading chair, which gets attention many times in a single week, all weeks of the year.  To read them and understand the intellectual argument that is taking place in that debate between big government and small government forces that shaped our Constitution, you have a lot more meaning if you have a good understanding of the Bible.  The Bible is the foundation of the American Constitution and our entire legal system.  The people who founded America were people of Judeo-Christian backgrounds, and their spirit of separation of church and state was to have more ability to worship God more fully without the state getting in the way, such as what happened in Europe during the period of the Revolutionary wars in both America and France.  Established elites of society designed America’s Revolution to free the minds of the masses toward rule-based self-government.  Where the revolution in France was an early version of Marxist tyranny, inciting the masses to overthrow the established government so that tyranny could rule as a centralized authority, which paved the way for Napoleon to become emperor.  What kept those two different revolutions separate was the concept of a God-based society in America as opposed to a mob-driven monstrosity in France of Godless heathens.  All Marxist mobs, which would later be spelled out for global distribution by Karl Marx himself, sought to remove the concept of God from the governing of a country so that radicalism could take over power in the chaos.  It’s the communist playbook, and these Palestinian protestors are wrapped with Marxism at the core of their culture, and it is the root of their protests in every case.

Then, if you are ever so fortunate to study the 2024-1 Ohio Criminal Law Handbook, or whichever state you reside in, their version of it. In that case, you will see a thing of beauty, filled with the intent to have a constructive, free society that promises individual rights for all and protects them from those who might take advantage of those individual rights.  And that is the game of the international Marxists; they seek to erode the American system of law and order by destroying the concept of individual rights, which is a foundation idea articulated through Biblical narrative.  The concept of individual sanctification started with the Bible and has evolved through American law to preserve individual rights.  So when Palestinian protestors are desecrating the American flag, they are attacking the very nature of the preservation of individual rights and are proclaiming dominion over any such concept.  Even so, the basic understanding of most veterans of military service, who care for the flag and do not let it even touch the ground when they are putting it up, is to protect an idea that they learned in basic service as military personnel.  To allow any aspect of a free culture to desecrate those high ideas of individual preservation protected under shared rules and regulations of a mass society is to show intent to destroy such concepts, which can only be considered criminal in relation.  The desecration of the American flag is not some remote, distant country that can be conquered and then re-established with a new government under new guidelines. Instead, the flag represents law dedicated to the individual rights of sovereign people, dedicated to their lives and the God that made them. 

Just this very day, I had the opportunity to participate in a gun competition out in God’s country, which I have always enjoyed.  This one was the Annie Oakley Festival in Darke County, Ohio.  Before starting, we all said our pledge of allegiance to the flag, and all our gun-shooting members were very respectful and paid attention to the little ceremony with dedicated solemnity, and it was very refreshing.  We can’t all live in the same world with the same values if criminal thugs are going to hide their malice and ill intentions toward our sovereign status as individual members of society if we are going to have some who will give anything to the American flag and its high ideas, and those who would burn it on the steps of the Capitol and step upon it like mad virgins at a stag party under a drunken stupor.  Such corrosive societies were discussed very much in the Bible, and we have built American life with those harsh lessons in mind.  The intent of our legal system down to every bit of state revised code intends to free people from authoritarian tyranny by collective masses, and the statement made by the Palestinian protestors on the Capitol in July of 2024 was to desecrate those protections for destruction, now and forever.  It was a direct attempt to undermine American society by hiding terrorism behind a veil of Free Speech protected only by the flag of America.  By purposely destroying the flag, participants reject the concepts of individual protections given under shared consideration of allegiance to that flag.  And the Republic for which it stands.  One nation, under God, indivisible.  With Liberty and Justice for all.  In that context, the problem is obvious: those burning and destroying the American flag are intent on killing all those lofty goals and casting members of that society into the chaos of communist thought as the rest of the world suffers without any recourse by social destruction planned from the outset.  And that can’t be allowed.

The Trouble with a Police State: A “swatting” strategy designed to test the fences

Over the last few years, there have been several times that I thought it was time for a very unpleasant experience involving the police. This started around the time of the lockdowns in Ohio, where I was one of the only people still behaving normally as it looked like road checkpoints might be a genuine concern to keep people off the roads and complying with a corrupt governor’s insane mandates. I lived my life mostly normal generally during the Covid lockdowns, and for a few weeks, it wasn’t clear if, at any moment, there might be some shootout with corrupt forces trying to impose on society a direct violation of the Bill of Rights. I kept playing the mistakes made by the FBI at Ruby Ridge and Waco through my head and considered how I might approach that problem differently. And probably because of the region and the type of people in it, that checkpoint problem never happened, and everyone eventually lived happily ever after. But those same concerns returned on Christmas Day this year as reports of swatting were being reported everywhere, where someone calls the police against a political target and reports that person as being dangerous. It has happened to Steve Bannon on the Warroom several times, Marjorie Taylor Green, and Laura Loomer, and on Christmas morning, it looked like it was happening to me. As my children were coming over to have Christmas at my house, two police vehicles sectioned off my road in front of my house with their noses of their squad cars blocking the road, pointing into traffic, and it looked like that was going to be it. So, figuring that to be the case, since I am on several “political enemy” lists, I did what I did. As it turned out, a few minutes later, they were leaving, which I was not unhappy about. They indicated they were looking for a place to hang out because it was Christmas Day, and they had nowhere else to go. Well, hanging out in front of my house wasn’t a good idea. So we parted ways for that day.

As we get further into 2024, I think this will become a much more prevalent problem as very desperate political characters turn to the police, who serve whatever administration is in power, and use this swatting strategy to harass political opponents.  There have been increased incidents between both Republicans and Democrats of this “swatting” strategy, and they have certainly become more aggressive since the days of Covid, where the apparent problems of a massive police state showed us just how dangerous it is to have too many police on the payroll reporting to corrupt politicians not following the Constitution and honoring our American Bill of Rights.  The Bill of Rights explicitly limits what a government can and cannot do, and for me, there is no compromise, especially regarding the Third, Fourth and Fifth Amendments.  I did a radio show many years ago over this topic on WLW with Darryl Parks about the dangers of the newly written NDAA that Congress passed back then and how the military could be weaponized against the people who were supposed to control it.  I have a pretty good relationship with my local law enforcement.  I will always say that we need law enforcement.  But I am always weary of their power and the tendency to abuse it.  I call it the “mall cop” syndrome.  Even the best-intentioned people can turn into maniacs once they gain the ability to carry a gun and kick in someone’s door for the “safety of society.”  This policy idea that your Bill of Rights is suspended until they determine that you are not a threat is completely wrong as far as I am concerned.  And when someone “swats” you, the assumption is that the police then have a constitutional breaking mandate to violate your rights until they prove to the contrary, which is at the heart of the problem.   

I would go even further and discuss this as a strategy of sheer evil that steps beyond the veil of conscious reality, which is why I have been writing a lot lately about the hostility of the spirit world and those occult practices that seek an alliance with help from the quantum realm.  My interest is in what makes people do bad things and why they think the things they do, especially under a crisis management scenario.  I took the incident on Christmas Day at my house as the raptors testing the fences to see what they could and couldn’t get away with.  But what made them want to try?  Those are the things I spend a lot of time thinking about.  Behind that concern is this push to continuously expand the reach of government with more police with prominent stories that we hear about all the time, where police brutality causes race riots, and it forces society to pick one side or the other.  The Democrats come up with a “defund the police” strategy to decrease police killings of innocent people.  Republicans want to fund more police and “back the blue.”  But the real menace is the political characters, both spiritual and terrestrial, who want to play these forces against each other with the result of getting people screaming for more police protection and submission of their Bill of Rights over to a police state of massive government expansion so that when they do come and arrest you in the middle of the night by kicking down your door and you suddenly have to “prove you are not guilty” before they let you go, you won’t expect anything else.  You’ll want police brutality so that you can be “safe” when the real bad guys are out there causing the trouble to begin with.

This isn’t, after all, a conspiracy strategy; we have seen lawfare applied to President Trump, a former president, so the blueprint is out.  Big governments run by corrupt people expect that they can raid your home, go through your wife’s underwear drawer, and push your face into the ground with your hands behind your back whenever they decide to.  They might apologize later, but they genuinely do intend to embarrass you in front of your friends and neighbors to show that they have domination over you.  They don’t care about the arrest; they care about letting people see how much power they have so that you’ll be ready to submit if they decide to use it.  And when they want to go after political targets, one way to diminish them in the eyes of their followers is to show the world how little power they have.  This is why conservatives have been getting swatted a lot lately.  And I think it will continue to increase as the insanity of the communist left realizes they are losing power and that crimes they have been involved in will now have to be paid for.  While they can, they plan to abuse their power for all its worth.  So we should expect to deal with these things accordingly.  No matter what party you are affiliated with, this is a problem for everyone because it is a strategy of the Deep State that has no respect for the American Constitution, and they intend to cause trouble that we beg for more police so that the police can then become an extension of government power who then give them the right and ability to violate your rights with just a phone call and to take out political enemies so that the state can grow and gain public power as a net result.  We saw during COVID-19 that this is a real problem; the bad guys were testing out what they could and could not get away with regarding massive abuses of authority.  And since then, this swatting strategy has become much more frequent.  And on Christmas Day of 2023, I thought my knowledge of the Constitution would be tested.  Which everyone knows there is no compromise on.  We live in that world, and I advise everyone not to take the bait.  Keep government as minimal as possible, including the amount of local police you have.  Because with just a phone call, they can indeed become your enemy at a moment’s notice.
