White House pride flag

 

I edited the original heading to the following article from The Federalist, written by Joy Pullmann. The Federalist had the heading; “Pride Is The Flag Of American Occupation,” which, granted is shorter and is what everyone wants. Brevity. The fewer words the better. Even if the words used don’t really communicate what needs to be communicated.

The original heading misses the mark as it adheres to the ways and words of the world, which have been given to it by Satan and they recite and write to his pleasure. Not God’s.

The homosexual, transgender, every sexual perversion and deviancy in a blender flag that was created by the same entity that softened, confused, perverted, and altered language to be adopted, accepted and approved of and used — even by almost every professed Christian — is the flag of not only sexual immorality and occupation within a nation as Joy Pullmann writes. That flag is the flag of Satan and evil superseding the flag of any nation that uses it.

Where do you truly believe the word “gay” came from to deflect and totally alter the impact and understanding behind the word homosexual? Where do you think the idea to steal the rainbow given from God as His promise to never flood the whole earth again came from? The mind of some homosexual in Greenwich Village? San Francisco? All on their own? It’s original? Who puts those ideas and thoughts into individual human minds? Where do they come from?

Yes, a corrupt and evil heart and spirit. From darkness and a love of sin and the world and consumed of sexually immoral lusts for one’s own flesh — but how and where did those ideas, those thoughts enter into a mind, a soul, a spirit of a man or a woman?

Satan.

The devil.

The Evil One.

That Old Dragon.

The father of lies. The creator of sexual immorality, of murder, of unfaithfulness, of disobedience, and rebellion against God to side with him.

But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”

Revelation 21:8

The cowardly. Either stand true, stand real, stand firm and solid in the faith found within the Word of God or with the world. But no one can do both.

Satan is the one who provided the so-called original creative thought, and idea, to change the meanings of words, alter the language, and steal the rainbow sign from God. Satan probably danced nonstop in a great celebratory dance when he was successful in implanting the idea of the rainbow flag in the mind of the person who thought it was their original idea.

Do you really believe in evil? In Satan? In the whole inerrant infallible unchanging living and active Word of God? If yes, then you must surely know and believe Satan puts words, thoughts, and ideas into the hearts and minds of people. And they act upon those words, ideas, and thoughts. Think Garden of Eden. Serpent. If needing a beginning source to confirm this.

And from the moment in the Garden to this very moment there is a growing spiritual war as Satan whispers gently, subtly, intently, voraciously, relentlessly in the hearts and minds of not millions, but billions. And they comply. Because the ideas, the thoughts sound so good to them.

Disobedience and rebellion against God, against righteousness, against the truth is nothing new.

Nor has it changed one iota since Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. No difference. Only most people can’t ever think beyond their own selves in the moment in which they live not really seeing, not really hearing, most merely conforming to the world.

Even most of those professing to be disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, a child of God, a man, a woman of obedience and faith as opposed to a person of disobedience that will receive the wrath and judgment of God. A just and perfectly right judgment and wrath.

For disobedience and rebellion. For their love of the world more than their love of His Son, Jesus, and a love of His Word which leads to life.

Conform to the world and die. Die the Second Death. Eternal Death and Damnation. In the eternal pit of hell. With he who brought you there. Satan.

Refuse to adopt the language, the ways, the ideas, thoughts, philosophies, and dictates of the world and abide in the Word, in God, with God, in Christ, with Christ, in the Holy Spirit with the Holy Spirit within you not grieved faithfully believing, faithfully living and live. Truly live. As God originally intended before our downfall, our rebellion, our sin that God can have no part of. Learn how to love eternally with God rather than to be at enmity with Him. And receive the consequences, the just judgment.

For you may be sure of this, that everyone who is sexually immoral or impure, or who is covetous (that is, an idolater), has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.

Ephesians 5:5

Do not argue with God, attempt to change God to fit your mind, and your thinking. Do not bring God down to our level. God is unchangeable and beyond our comprehension. That is one reason Jesus came to earth. So we could see God, know God and understand God better.

And when God was willing to come here and receive the abuse He did, the doubting, the suffering He did, to endure the cross, to die as the only acceptable Sacrifice for sin, our sin, to conquer death and rise on the Third Day to show us the reality and promise of eternal life for those who believe, those of faith, those of obedience willing to forego the ways and thinking of the world to follow Him…

Well, why today do we become weak and indistinguishable from the world in our language, in how we present ourselves to others? Where is the salt? Where is the light? Where is the evidence of our being a separate and peculiar people transformed and renewed by the changing of our hearts and minds by the power of the Spirit of God if we comply, conform, and continue to use the language and ways of the world?

The flag in question is not a political one or statement. Not as it is thought to be. Not really. It is a flag of the Enemy in this spiritual war. Would you nonchalantly accept this flag in your face constantly in this nation? The flag below is universally accepted as the symbol of evil…

Then why do you shrug and accept this one?

They are no different. Both are symbols of oppression, of sin, of repression of the truth, of denial and mockery of God, of rebellion against God, of evil. Of fascism. Of hate. Not love. Not freedom. Not tolerance. They originated and got the seed of inspiration from the very same source. Satan.

Either stand solidly, firmly, and faithfully with God and with the Word of God or be devoured and consumed by the world in the lie of love, tolerance, compassion and civil rights.

Keep making it political. Keep making it a solely secular problem and see how that goes.

This is spiritual warfare. Heightened. Accelerated. Intensified. Coming to its conclusion and the fulfillment of every word within the Holy Bible.

Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

Flee Sexual Immorality

“All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be dominated by anything. “Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food”—and God will destroy both one and the other. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. And God raised the Lord and will also raise us up by his power. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never! Or do you not know that he who is joined to a prostitute becomes one body with her? For, as it is written, “The two will become one flesh.” But he who is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.

1 Corinthian 6:9-20

Now is not the time to weaken, appear no different than the Enemy, side with the Enemy, to be confused, and think one can have their cake and eat it too — that mingling the sin and evil of the world within the Word of God is acceptable.

Paganism is rampant. Lies are the order of the day passing for truth.

Time to wise up, get learned up, to finally see, to finally hear, to finally know. And then appear as the salt of the earth, the light unto the world which is totally different than the darkness the world abides in.

Sexual Perversion And Deviancy Flag Is The Flag Of American Occupation

The United States is undergoing a regime change, and the pride flag is its emblem.

 

June 26, 2023

By Joy Pullmann

Reprinted from The Federalist

 

The United States is undergoing an attempted regime change, and the pride flag is its emblem.

This regime change has been more than a century in the making. Initially, it flew under the Stars and Bars while hollowing out its meaning. Now it has its own emblem, the pride flag.

This year we witnessed the American government’s elevation of that pride flag to a place of competition and sometimes dominance over the American flag. Notoriously, the White House participated earlier this month.

Barack Obama also put pride imagery atop the White House. Hours after Neil Gorsuch’s vote cemented the falsehood that the 1964 Civil Rights Act was meant to protect transsexual behavior, Obama tweeted this image:

U.S. military installations have been doing this for years. According to The U.K. Independent, U.S. embassies have “been raising the rainbow banner during Pride Month since 2011. In 2019, [when Trump’s administration allowed pride flags but not on the same pole as the U.S. flag], many US embassies defied or found a way around the new policy, something one anonymous diplomat called a ‘category one insurrection.’”

This year, U.S. embassies flew pride flags in places where it’s obvious that would offend and repulse the local populace, including in Vatican City, multiple Muslim nations, Russia, and Singapore. This year the U.S. ambassador to Poland marched in Warsaw’s pride parade to make a statement against the Polish government, a NATO ally. Damaging foreign relations is apparently a price U.S. military leaders are willing to pay for flying the flag that stands for erasing the constitutional rights that members of the military swear to protect.

Formerly this flag was a symbol of American occupation abroad. Now it is a symbol of domestic occupation as well.

Identity Politics Is Regime Change

The pride flag is not merely a symbol of sexual license. It is also a symbol for using identity politics to erase the original U.S. Constitution.

That is clear because the pride legal agenda includes erasing key constitutional protections that are meant to apply to all equally, meaning without regard to private sexual behavior. It requires enforcement by a bureaucracy that in its very existence violates the constitutional division of powers between legislative, judicial, and executive. Uniting these, Father of the Constitution James Madison said, is tyranny.

The legal, activist, and cultural entities forwarding the pride agenda seek nothing less than the erasure of free speech, freedom of association, freedom of the press, republican checks and balances, the nuclear family, the parent-child bond, the marital bond, and legal protections for minors based on their incapacity for self-governance. This is clear from their legislative activity, which includes “hate speech” laws that gag people from speaking about their ideas even in private, and stripping kids from their parents’ protection.

Very quickly displacing homosexuals, the current tip of this spear is the transgender movement. Before that, it was the other identity politics groups: every ancestry except for European, and — what seems like forever ago — feminism. Who knows what next entity will be used to groom Americans into accepting the further erasure of our natural rights; perhaps it’s furries.

The pride flag is now the flag of identity politics. The version the White House flew expresses this directly, with the additional stripes representing every ethnicity except one. Identity politics is incompatible with the U.S. Constitution. Enshrining it in American law is in fact a tacit regime change.

They Erased Civil Rights in the Name of Civil Rights

Numerous works of scholarship verify this. Columbia Law professor Philip Hamburger’s work, perhaps especially Is Administrative Law Unlawful, illuminates how the bureaucracy that identity politics requires turns the Constitution on its head.

So does Hillsdale professor Thomas G. West’s The Political Theory of the American Founding and Vindicating the Founders, and the multi-volume scholarly work of his colleague Ronald Pestritto. Perhaps the most recent scholarly work demonstrating this is War on the American Republic, by Hillsdale professor Kevin Slack (review forthcoming).

Another is Age of Entitlement, by writer and scholar Christopher Caldwell. He explains how well-intentioned 1960s civil rights laws immediately turned into a body of law and institutions that work to overthrow the Constitution.

“The legitimacy of civil rights legislation rested on the belief that it would be a transitional measure, leading to a stable, racially mixed society,” Caldwell writes on page 278. “Professing to oppose racial distinctions in the South, while introducing them on a nationwide basis via affirmative action and other programs, would have been illogical, hypocritical, and unjust if done on a permanent basis. The extra rights of protection and redress that minorities enjoyed were admissible as stopgaps — not as permanent parts of the Constitution. Permanent, though, is what they became.”

The Civil Rights Act of 1964, he notes, ultimately comprised “a legislative repeal of the First Amendment’s implied right to freedom of association.” It also created the possibility for the Democratic Party to become a permanent majority by selling Americans’ universal legal protections for the votes of incompatible identity blocs repaid with entitlements.

They sold Americans’ birthright for power. Republicans agreed to this because they didn’t want to be called racists for offering people of all races the exact same natural rights and responsibilities at the core of our historic social compact.

Pride as a Substitute Form of Government

This month, the incisive writer Chris Bray noted California Democrats are all over pride displays while their state erodes: “Why is the alleged governor of a state with a $32 billion budget deficit obsessed with a supposed plan, elsewhere, to erase LBGTQ existence?” He essentially argues pride is a diversion to obscure politicians’ gross mismanagement of conditions that affect citizens’ daily lives.

There’s definitely something to that, but also something missing. What’s missing is this: For today’s left, identity politics is not a distraction from government; it’s the purpose of government.

The old conception was that government exists to protect our natural rights, first among them our lives and liberties with local police, strong borders, and a strong national defense. The new conception is that government exists to provide spiritual direction and affirmation amid a culture that no longer seeks spiritual direction in their private lives from its original source (i.e., Jesus Christ).

Pride is not a distraction from basic government, it’s a replacement. It’s morphed into not only a new legal regime, but a new spiritual regime. It’s the attempt to replace our original Constitution with a pagan theocracy.

A Pagan Theocracy

Paganism doesn’t keep the trains running or un-looted, but it does keep people involved in rituals that distract from their own dysfunction. Some religious rites resolve dysfunction — penitence and forgiveness, for a key example. Others, such as scapegoating, perpetuate dysfunction.

Through repentance, people take responsibility for their actions and promise to improve. Through scapegoating, people transfer responsibility for their actions to uncontrollable entities like the rain god, white supremacy, and global warming. You should be able to see why a society based on the former would have more functioning infrastructure and why a society based on the latter would have less.

It’s no accident that cancel culture mushroomed as a ritual in the age of identity politics. Its entire cycle of repeat public shaming without resolution is a pagan religious ritual.

Identity politics unites pagan religious impulses with legal structures for enforcement and validation. This intertwined religious and political system — a theocracy — is displacing basic American rights like being assumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law and being legally protected from public slander and libel.

Now our own government endorses this religious impulse and elevates its symbols atop the symbols of our former constitutional order. It’s an occupation flag signifying regime change.

It’s ultimately not suprising, because every government has to operate upon a widely accepted code of morality. Every government is informed and affected by the religion of its people. The basis of culture, as Russell Kirk noted, is the cult: a religion. From that religion’s philosophical underpinnings flow government, the arts, and all the rest.

So, one wonders: What is the god of this new religion undergirding an attempted American regime change? Some of its adherents have a very honest answer.
