Welfare is strong delusion that socialism can exist within Christianity. Socialism cannot recognize individual rights.
Christ told us that Corban — the forced Roman system of charity — will nullify the word of God (Mark 7:11-13). Note that this is NOT the earlier system of voluntary welfare contributions, Qorban, Strong’s H7133.
It is your responsibility to administer your charity in a way that strengthens the able-bodied disadvantaged — so that they will not become dependent on you. The government system of forced contributions only weakens the disadvantaged and keeps them captive in a system that abuses them. It encourages sloth and victimization.
Once you believe that government forced charity will relieve you of your responsibility to love your fellow man as much as you love yourself, Or take care of widows and orphans, Or heal the sick, shelter the homeless, comfort the afflicted, or feed his sheep — God will send you a strong delusion that you might believe a lie.
We are all created equal with Creator endowed unalienable rights that governments are instituted among men to secure. This, of course, excludes forced redistribution of your wealth. And it violates the three rights of all mankind.
Individual Welfare is not authorized by the U.S. Constitution.
To counter those rumors that the “general welfare” clause in the proposed Constitution would authorize any kind of welfare, James Madison, in Federalist Paper #41, explained its clear intent. He stated that it “is an absurdity” to claim that the General Welfare clause confounds or misleads, because this introductory clause is followed by enumeration of specific particulars that explain and qualify the meaning of phrase “general welfare”.
That’s right! Your Constitution was ratified under the assurance that it would never be interpreted to provide welfare to individuals.
• In 1792, Congressman and future-President James Madison voted against a congressional appropriation to assist war refugees. He said “I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents.”
• President Franklin Pierce in 1854 vetoed a health care bill to help the mentally ill. He said “I cannot find any authority in the Constitution for public charity…. [this] would be contrary to the letter and the spirit of the Constitution and subversive to the whole theory upon which the Union of these States is founded.”
• In 1897, President Grover Cleveland vetoed an appropriation to provide disaster aid to victims of a Texas drought. His veto stated: “I feel obliged to withhold my approval of the plan to indulge in benevolent and charitable sentiment through the appropriation of public funds… I find no warrant for such an appropriation in the Constitution. The lesson should be constantly enforced that though the people should support the government, the government should not support the people.”
FORCED CHARITY is not charity.
Voluntary charity exists within a nation that believes we should love our neighbor as much as we love ourselves, in a system of faith, hope, and charity.
Forced charity only exists in a system of force, fear and violence.
People today cannot spot the difference between love and violence. They have not received love of the truth. They live within all deceivableness of unrighteousness that they might believe a lie. They shall receive strong delusion according to the Bible.
And indeed, government welfare is “contrary to the letter and the spirit of the Constitution and subversive to the whole theory upon which the Union of these States is founded.” — just as President Polk said it would be.

Throughout history, corrupt people are ruled by despots. Corruption will “cut up the government by the roots, and poison the very fountain of public security…”
Abraham Lincoln, September 11, 1858:
“Accustomed to trampling on the rights of others you have lost the genius of your own independence and become the fit subjects of the first cunning tyrant who rises among you.”
Ben Franklin, in his closing speech at the Constitutional Convention, said the Constitution could not last. It was bound to become despotic because corrupt people are incapable of managing themselves.
“there is no form of Government but what may be a blessing to the people if well administered, and believe farther that this is likely to be well administered for a course of years, and can only end in Despotism, as other forms have done before it, when the people shall become so corrupted as to need despotic Government, being incapable of any other.”
General Douglas MacArthur prophesied in his speech December 12, 1951:
“History fails to record a single precedent in which nations subject to moral decay have not passed into political and economic decline. There has been either a spiritual awakening to overcome the moral lapse, or a progressive deterioration leading to ultimate national disaster.”
— General Douglas MacArthur prophesied in his speech December 12, 1951
U.S. Supreme Court, ADDERLEY v. FLORIDA (1966), 385 US 39
“the principal danger to civil liberty [is] in the governed unequipped to function as governors. The chief enemies of republican freedom are mental sloth, conformity, bigotry, superstition, credulity, monopoly in the market of ideas, and utter, benighted ignorance. Relying as it does on the consent of the governed, representative government cannot succeed unless the community receives enough information to grasp public issues and make sensible decisions.”
And 2000 years ago Plutarch said “It is truly said that the first destroyer of the liberties of a people is he who gave them bounties and largesse. “
About 2150 years ago, Greek Historian Polybius The Histories Book 6, section 9:
“But when a new generation arises and the democracy falls into the hands of the grandchildren of its founders, they have become so accustomed to freedom and equality that they no longer value them, and begin to aim at pre-eminence; and it is chiefly those of ample fortune who fall into this error. So when they begin to lust for power and cannot attain it through themselves or their own good qualities, they ruin their estates, tempting and corrupting the people in every possible way. And hence when by their foolish thirst for reputation they have created among the masses an appetite for gifts and the habit of receiving them, democracy in its turn is abolished and changes into a rule of force and violence. For the people, having grown accustomed to feed at the expense of others and to depend for their livelihood on the property of others, as soon as they find a leader who is enterprising but is excluded from the houses of office by his penury, institute the rule of violence; and now uniting their forces massacre, banish, and plunder, until they degenerate again into perfect savages and find once more a master and monarch.”

But you already knew that because the Bible told you so. Apostle Paul repeated King David’s warning that government charity would be a snare to trap you. Romans 11:9
First Samuel 8:18
“And you will cry out in that day because of your king whom you have chosen for yourselves, and the LORD will not hear you in that day.”
Samuel Adams speech at the State House of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia (1 August 1776). Sam was a signer of the Declaration of Independence, cousin of President John Adams, and an activist at the Boston Tea Party
“If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. … Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”
You are no longer in a Republic. Prove it to yourself. Ask yourself some questions: Can a majority of Congressmen, and a judge now conspire to take all your rights from you? Can a city government prohibit you from owning a dog unless you first beg for permission and pay a fee? Can you repair your front porch without begging for permit and paying a fee?
Democracy cannot be considered as a form of government. Although it starts as a form of government, it quickly dissolves into corruption. The moment a politician makes a promise, is the moment democracy ceases to be a form of government. To use a public office to grant favors to those who elect you is corruption. It is the very definition of corruption. Go look it up in a law dictionary. DEMOCRACY IS CORRUPTION. According to John Locke’s Second Treatise of Government section 222 the use of a public office to influence your electors will “cut up the government by the roots, and poison the very fountain of public security…”
VOTER REGISTRATION
Only those who want to dominate others would register to vote. Those who refuse to dominate others would not register. Original (the posterity) citizens would not partake of a 14th Amendment government benefit. Christians cannot covet their neighbors’ wealth because it violates the tenth Commandment.
Those registered to vote agree to the outcome of the election, no matter how abhorrent.
Those registered to vote are represented. They have entered society. Once represented Procurationem adversus nulla est proæscriptio. There is no prescription for procuration. If you are represented, then you cannot be damaged by your representative. Your submission must be a complete submission with the full understanding that you cannot be damaged by your elected representative.
Unreasoning mobs do not have authority.
The class of people who create a government are the jura summi imperii, they are superior to the governments that they delegated their powers to. Those who take oaths of office are inferior to them. Oaths are only taken to superiors (Hebrews 6:16). Freemen are free from civil authority. `Libera res publica‘. A Roman officer cannot arrest a Roman citizen. Acts 22:27,29. Freemen are free from civil authority. Unless they are ungrateful for their freedom. Every Law Dictionary will tell you “The civil laws reduce an ungrateful freedman to his original slavery” Libertinum ingratum leges civiles in pristinam servitutem redigunt.
As further proof that a democracy is prohibited, consider the legal maxim: Multitudo errantium non parit errori “The multitude of those who err furnishes no excuse for error.”
In a democracy, which we have had since 1933, you can vote to plunder others and demand benefits. You too can exercise your democratic “rights” to persecute others. But, you must also suffer the consequences.
Here are my comments on Christ’s mention of the abomination of desolation.
Just what is this abomination of desolation? The antichrists around us want you to believe that it will be animal sacrifices within a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem. (And, yes, there are plural antichrists. First John 2:18. The word antichrist does not appear in the book of Revelation).
Join me as I identify the Bible’s points that identify the abomination. It is a nuclear war with Russia.
There are two places in the Bible where Christ mentions the abomination of desolation. Both of them mention people outdoors who see the abomination stand/standing in heaven.
Matthew 24:15 “When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand)” Mark 13:14 “But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains”
Let’s start by taking Christ’s testimony within the context.
Mark 13 “3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,ssssss 4 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled? 5 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you: 6 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 7 And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet. 8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows. 9 But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them. 10 And the gospel must first be published among all nations. 11 But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost. 12 Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death. 13 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains: 15 And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house: 16 And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment. 17 But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! 18 And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter. 19 For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be. 20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect’s sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days. 21 And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not: 22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect. 23 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things. 24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, 25 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken. 26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. 27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.”
Points that Identify the Abomination of Desolation as nuclear war:
• 2,600 years ago, the prophet Daniel, using the language of his time, wrote about a future king of the north who honors a fortresses of munitions.
• Missile silos meet the description of Daniel’s fortresses of munitions. (let the reader understand). • Missiles, and their exhaust trails, — or mushroom clouds — standing up where they ought not, in the heavens, are in a holy place. • The abomination is visible only to those who are outside. Those who are outside (rooftop and field) that witness the mushroom clouds, or missile launches, are in target areas. They will not have time to retrieve garments or things from a house. Those that witness mushroom clouds standing in heaven, and far enough away to still have eyesight, must quickly get upwind of the fallout. Those who witness the missile launches standing up into heaven will have 15 minutes to shield themselves from the incoming missiles’ initial radiation and blasts.
• They are in a time of great tribulation. • Nuclear winter will darken the sky, day and night. • The antichrists around us want you to believe Christians will escape the Great Tribulation. This is not true (John 16:33 In the world ye shall have tribulation. Acts 14:22 we must go through much tribulation, etc.) Yes, there will be a pre-wrath rapture, but the great tribulation is NOT God’s wrath. • Christ’s warned that no flesh shall be saved. He did NOT say “saved alive”. He means that no flesh shall be saved to judge Satan. Christians, in the flesh, will judge angels (First Corinthians 6:3). • Christ himself shall not shorten those days of tribulation — see my comments, later.
Here is the original (1611) King James Bible’s Daniel 11. Pay attention to the margin notes.
Daniel 11 in the original King James Bible of 1611
When you see the abomination of desolation, let them in Judæa flee to the mountains. This had an obvious first fulfillment in AD 70 when Jerusalem was destroyed by the Romans. The abomination of desolation is spoken of in Daniel 9:27, Daniel 11:31 and Daniel 12:11. This meaning was sealed until the time of the end, according to Daniel 12:4&9. At the time of the end –Two thousand years ago – Matthew wrote Matthew 24:15 to those who understood the sealed message. • The abomination of desolation occurs during military occupation, according to Luke 21:20 and in Daniel 11:31. Do you live in a time when a Beast’s military performs police powers over a fourth part of the earth? • Is Jerusalem compassed by military? • Further support for military abomination: If Daniel 12:1 greatest trouble of all time is also the Matthew 24:21 greatest tribulation of all time, which might also be the Mark 13:19 greatest affliction of all time, which just might also be Joel 2’s greatest destruction of all time. Which just might also be Daniel 12’s greatest trouble of all time, which just might be Jeremiah 30:7 greatest day of travail of all time, which is also probably Luke’s “days of vengeance” – then there must first come a government that honors Daniel 11:38’s “God of forces.” • Military. Daniel 11:38 “God of forces” can mean “god of munitions.” The original (1611 version) King James Bible, Daniel 11:38 “God of forces” has a margin note written by King James’ translators: “Or, munitions. Heb. Mauzzin, or, as for the almighty God in his seat he shall honour, yea he shall honour a God, &c.” • Military. The King James Bible had a margin note for Daniel 11:39’s “most strong holds”. It says: “Heb. fortresses of munitions.” • When you see the abomination of desolation spoken of in Daniel, flee to the mountains to avoid the greatest tribulation. In addition to the first fulfillment in AD70, “mountains” may symbolize political or religious powers (as in Isaiah 2:2, Jeremiah 17:3 & 31:23 & 51:24-25, Ezekiel 17:22, Daniel 2:35,44,45, Matthew 17:20)
Missile silos launch. The Abomination the causes desolation stands up where it ought not. Into the heavens.
When you see the abomination of desolation, those in Judaea must flee hastily to the mountains, [Tyndale translation: “let them which be in Jewry fly into the mountains”] for then shall come the greatest tribulation of all time*, (note that Luke calls it “days of vengeance”—not necessarily God’s wrath) but those days shall be shortened for the elect’s** sake. [they are NOT shortened by Christ’s coming Matt 24:23&30 and Mark 13:21&26 – although Christ chooses for whom those days will be shortened; Mark 13:20] [historical note: Jeremiah 6:1 “Flee from Jerusalem!”]
* Matthew 24:21’s Greatest tribulation of all time. Daniel 12’s greatest trouble of all time is right before everyone whose name is found written in the book “shall be delivered.” Which just might be Jeremiah 30:7 greatest day of trembling, fear and travail of all time, right before people are restored to their land and released from bondage. ** The word “elect” or “elect’s” appears 24 times in the New Testament but never refers to Jews. Christ was speaking to His apostles, who represent the church. Matthew 24:22’s elect cannot therefore refer to only Jewish believers during the wrath. Mark and Luke wrote their Gospels to the Gentile church also repeat this church prophecy. Believers pass through the great tribulation (Revelation 7:14). They come from every nation, tribe, people and language (Revelation 7:9, 5:9, 10:11, 13:7, 14:6). The false rapture theory suggests that the church is in heaven during this tribulation, yet Revelation 22:16 says this testimony is given to the churches.

An Abomination that causes desolation standing where it ought not, in heaven.
There are standard moral values in the Bible that will keep you from being led astray. The Bible has many warnings about welfare.
God’s people have a long history of being taken captive. Abraham had to deliver us from Babylon. Moses led us from slavery under Pharoah. Christ led us from Roman military occupation. After Christ led Christians out of Roman occupation, Paul warned the Galatians to ” Stand fast therefore in the liberty with which Christ has made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.”
The same unchanging Biblical advice applies to us today. When asked about the end-times, Christ said “take heed that ye be not deceived.”
Will you know enough to avoid captivity when the brimstone hits the fan?
I suggest that you repent and seek moral values so that you will not be deceived by fake news.
FAKE NEWS. There are plenty of hints that the end-times will involve deception. Second Thessalonians 2:9-10 speaks of deceivableness and delusion in the end times. And there a plenty of other warnings (More…).
The globalists’ deep-state infiltrators gain power by demoralizing you. You can avoid deceptions only if you can manage your own affairs and avoid their psychological manipulations.

BIBLE WARNINGS ABOUT WELFARE
The Apostle Paul, at Romans 11:9, repeated King David’s warning that government charity would be a snare to trap you.
Proverbs 23, don’t be enticed by the food offered by rulers.
Genesis 14:23 don’t accept anything, not even a shoelace, from a king.
Corban (the Roman system of forced welfare contributions), nullifies the word of God according to Mark 7:13. (this is not the earlier system of voluntary welfare contributions, Strong’s 7133)
When Christ bestowed upon his apostles a kingdom (where God’s laws prevail) he warned them not to have a top-down government, but to have a bottom-up government to provide for the needy of society. During the Last Supper, the apostles wanted their government to be like the kings of the gentiles who call themselves benefactors yet rule over others to forcibly extract the offerings. Christ said “you shall not be so”. We are to serve one another voluntarily. Luke 22:25-26.
Second Thessalonians 3:10 “that if any would not work, neither should he eat.” (Don’t associate with freeloaders.)
We are to have a daily ministration to provide for the needy of society. It is based on faith, hope and charity. Love your neighbor as yourself is almost a 50% tax. You get to administer your charity in a way that strengthens the less fortunate.
When we were convinced that it was no longer a sin to desire benefits at the expense of our neighbor “Faith, Hope, and Charity began to flee out of our Church”. [The Twelve Conclusions of the Lollards, The First Conclusion.]
Forced charity is not charity. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors’ wealth. If you expect to live more comfortably by using government to forcibly take from your neighbor, then you become a tyrant. You reject God and curse your children with debt and teach them to “receive the reward of unrighteousness… with covetous practices, cursed children”. [2 Peter 2:13-14]
There are three categories of The Mark of The Beast. Revelation 13:17 says that people will not be able to buy or sell (in normal commerce)* without a mark or a name or a number. It is not a fixed thing, even though people insist that it is an implant**. It is anything that limits you from entering the marketplace.
* It cannot include everyone, because some people will overcome the beast and the mark and sing the song of Moses. (Revelation 15:2)
** Revelation has the mark both UPON (Greek word epi) the forehead and IN (Greek word hypo) the forehead. We get many of our English words from Greek origins. You would never confuse English words hypodermic with epidermis. Revelation uses symbolism. Marks have been on foreheads since Ezekiel 9:4 yet some people still adamantly vehemently absolutely insist that the mark of the beast is a physical etching of the skin and therefore it must be in the future. Marks have probably been on foreheads ever since Cain was evicted from Eden (Genesis 4:15).
In Bible prophecy, three angels tell us that a beast symbolizes a kingdom. Daniel 7:24, Daniel 8:20 and Revelation 17:12. DIVINE interpretation, from an angel, in Daniel 7:23 equates Daniel’s final beast with a final world kingdom.
MARKS ON FOREHEADS
In Revelation 13 an endtime confederation of Daniel’s beasts (like unto a leopard-bear-lion with 7 heads and 10 horns — with the notable exception of the missing eagle wings) has been assimilated by Daniel’s fourth exceedingly dreadful (Daniel 7:19) iron beast, that was to take away the dominion of other beast powers (Daniel 7:12), consume and trample down the whole earth and break it to pieces (verse 23). And overcome the saints.
Do you need a banking authorization number to buy or sell in normal commerce? Do you need a wage authorization number to sell your labor? Should these numbers be suspicious?
If you want to enter the marketplace, would vaccine proof be suspicious?
Those who donated to the peaceful protests of truckers had their bank accounts frozen. Asset tracking requires a mark, name or number issued by a government. Is this also suspicious if you wanted to buy or sell?

After Christ led Christians out of Roman occupation, Paul warned the Galatians to ” Stand fast therefore in the liberty with which Christ has made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.” We were free from Roman Law. But we returned to this vomit and now we need to free ourselves.

Will you know enough to avoid captivity before the brimstone hits the fan?
I suggest that you repent and seek moral values so that you will not be deceived by fake news. Then you can avoid being “carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting” — Ephesians 4:14 NKJV

Had you known about God’s laws you would not have a Federal Reserve System to entrap you into two world wars, a great depression, and continual stock market manipulations. And you would not have an interest-bearing bank account.
Bible warnings about usury.
Usury is still illegal. Thou shalt not lend upon usury. But you agreed to be the collateral for the national debt, which is now unpayable.
Usury is an abomination according to Ezekiel 18:13.
You have no right to accept or charge interest. Interest is a government granted privilege that is granted by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1913 contrary to Biblical principles. The borrower is a slave to the lender (Proverbs 22:7). One percent interest is usury (Nehemiah 5:10-11). A Bible believer will never accept usury (Psalms 15:5, Ezekiel 18:13) or charge usury (Deuteronomy 23:19-20, Exodus 22:25). It is a curse upon the land Isaiah 24:2-3. Punished by death Ezekiel 18:13. In your own country, up until 1694, accepting or paying interest was a punishable crime. Government incorporated banks can give usury. In order to do this they need an SSN so that they can tax this government granted privilege. By the way, Private banks can pay interest too, but they must pay a 10% tax for this government granted privilege (see Veazie Bank v. Fenno 75 US 533).
Note: The very same unchanging Jesus Christ who said that not one jot nor tittle shall fall from the law also told the parable of the ten talents in which a master used sarcasm to rebuke an unprofitable servant. Luke 19:23. Sarcasm does not authorize usury. He was saying (my paraphrase): “So you think I’m a hardened criminal who reaps what he doesn’t sow, why then didn’t you go all the way and commit the crime of usury by depositing my money in a bank.”
Paying or collecting interest is still the crime of usury. But it is no longer punishable for those who want government to protect them from God’s laws. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a 1913 case, German Alliance Insurance Co. v. Kansas, 233 U.S. 389 at page 432 that
“Moreover, interest laws were in their inception not a restriction upon the right of contract but an enlargement, permitting what theretofore had been regarded both as an ecclesiastical and civil offense. … they therefore fall within the rule that contemporary practice, if subsequently continued and universally acquiesced in, amounts to an interpretation of the Constitution.”
How do you like that? By turning our backs to an unchanging God we’ve let criminals, (theretofore regarded as a crime), now unpunishable, interpret our Constitution for us. This Supreme Court case paved the way, later in 1913, for Congress to pass the Federal Reserve Act, which sealed our doom.
A national bank is the fifth plank of Marx Communist Manifesto.
Prior to the 17th Amendment, states could shut down the federal government.
Chief Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution, 1833, page 488:
“Section 510. In the next place, the state governments are, by the very theory of the constitution, essential constituents of the general government. They can exist without the later, but the later cannot exist without them. Without the intervention of the state legislatures, the president of the United States cannot be elected at all; and the senate is exclusively and absolutely under the choice of the state legislatures. The representatives are chosen by the people of the states. So that the executive and legislative branches of the national government depend upon, and emanate from the states. Every where the state sovereignties are represented; and the national sovereignty, as such, has no representation. How is it possible, under such circumstances, that the national government can be dangerous to the liberties of the people, unless the states, and the people of the states, conspire together for their overthrow? If there should be such a conspiracy, is not this more justly to be deemed an act of the states through their own agents, and by their own choice, rather that a corrupt usurpation by the general government?”
Answer: Yes, the 17th Amendment was a conspiracy of the states to overthrow themselves.
“We The People” now means nothing to the civil servants who swore oaths to obey our Constitution
The Social Security Act was a plot by the globalist infiltrators to destroy the United States.
Congressional Debates, April 19, 1935
“Never in the history of the world has any measure been brought here so insidiously designed as to prevent business recovery, to enslave workers and to prevent any possibility” of the employers providing work for the people.”
— Congressman John Taber of New York.
“This bill opens the door and invites the entrance into the political field of a power so vast, so powerful as to threaten the integrity of our institutions and to pull the pillars down upon the heads of our descendants.”
–Congressman James W. Wadsworth of New York
Rights only come with responsibilities. If you cannot manage yourself, others will manage you (tacit procuration)*. You voluntarily signed up as an “applicant for or recipient of benefits under any program financed in whole or in part by Federal funds” (Social Security Act section 205(c)(2)(B)(i)). You agreed to join the system where men who claim to be benefactors rule over others to forcibly extract offerings from your neighbors (Luke 22:25). You did so voluntarily, even though Christ commanded “you shall not be so”, verse 26.
*
Others are managing your affairs and you have no right to complain. You cannot have standing in any court to complain about the federal martial law you brought upon yourself. You volunteered to have two governments, state and federal.
Many people are cunningly deceived into waiving their rights by legalities that they do not understand. Oaths are a main tripping hazard. Every dictionary will tell you that oaths are religious rituals. If you had obeyed God’s laws, you could have avoided the snares that you were warned about. There are Bible warnings about swearing oaths.
There are standard moral values in the Bible that will keep you from being led astray.
God’s people have a long history of being taken captive. Abraham had to deliver us from Babylon. Moses led God’s people out of Egypt. Christ led us from Roman military occupation.

I suggest that you repent and seek moral values so that you will not be deceived by fake news. Then you can avoid being “carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting” — Ephesians 4:14 NKJV
FAKE NEWS. There are plenty of hints that the end-times will involve deception. Second Thessalonians 2:9-10 speaks of deceivableness and delusion in the end times. And there a plenty of other warnings (More…).
The globalists’ deep-state infiltrators gain power by demoralizing you. You can avoid deceptions only if you can manage your own affairs and avoid their psychological manipulations.
Bible warnings about swearing oaths.
First Commandment: You shall have NO OTHER gods before me. The word here is the Hebrew word Elohim. First Corinthians 8:5 “There are gods many, lords many.”
Second Commandment: You shall not bow down thyself to them nor serve them.
Matthew 5:34 Swear not at all.
James 5:12 Above all things, swear not at all least you be condemned.
Hebrews 6:16 One only takes oaths to superiors.
Declaration of Independence. All men are created equal.
A salute is the assuming of a body position, initiated by the inferior toward the superior. This is contrary to the commandment to never bow down to other gods.
One only salutes superiors. A salute is the assuming of a body position by the inferior toward the superior. Raise your right hand, kneel, bow, genuflect, curtsy, prostrate, obeisance, kowtow, or stoop. Do homage, deference, lick the boots … etc. Romans 11:10 uses the phrase “bow down their back”. Even standing when a judge enters a courtroom. Actions speak louder than words. Even asking for help (supplicate, beseech, adjure) is proof that you cannot manage your own affairs.
Dwight Eisenhower said “if an American wants to preserve his dignity and his equality as a human being, he must not bow his neck to any dictatorial government.” (More…)
John Dickinson, signer of the U.S. Constitution, also used a similar phrase to explain that you cannot comply your way out of tyranny. “If you quietly bend your Necks to that Yoke, you prove yourselves ready to receive any Bondage to which your Lords and Masters shall please to subject you.”
And yet people raise their hands judges.
And yet people sign perjury oath signatures on tax forms.
Esau sold his birthright with an oath and so did you. God hated Esau. Romans 9:13, Malachi 1:3
Samuel Adams knew that crouching down was a surrender of birthright.
“If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”
— Samuel Adams’ American Independence speech at the steps of the Philadelphia State House, the meeting place for the Constitutional Convention. August 1, 1776
