After all, the most moral and righteous response to the real Hitler was to try to kill him. There were, in fact, 16 known plots to assassinate Hitler, and every one of the participants – from revered German theologian Deitrich Bonhoeffer to “20 July plot” ringleader Col. Claus von Stauffenberg – are to this day universally considered patriots and heroes.

But Hitler was a raging psychopath who murdered 11 million people, while Trump is a successful, much-loved American president who murdered zero people. Comparing the two is therefore not only obviously insane, it’s also straight-up evil – because it implicitly encourages unstable, confused and rage-filled people to consider assassinating Donald Trump.

Yes, Biden released a written statement condemning the assassination attempt, and then briefly went on camera to say a few nice words. But this same Joe Biden, less than a week earlier, on July 7, said: “We’re done talking about the debate, it’s time to put >I>Trump in a bull’s-eye.

“It’s time to put Trump in a bullseye.”
– Joe Biden

Shame on him.

— Rep. Lauren Boebert (@RepBoebert) July 13, 2024

Biden recently demonstrated once again just how wedded he is to the Trump-is-Hitler-so-vote-for-me-even-though-I’m-demented narrative. Even though leftwing factcheck site Snopes had just issued a belated but high-profile debunking of the infamous “Charlottesville lie” – that Trump had paid tribute to “very fine” Nazis after a 2017 Virginia rally – Biden just couldn’t resist telling the Big Lie one more time during his ill-fated CNN debate with Trump.

And how could Biden resist? After all, it’s his favorite lie. He first told it while accepting the Democrats’ nomination as their presidential candidate in 2020, with the Washington Post pompously announcing that “For Joe Biden, Charlottesville defines the Trump presidency.”

Biden even claimed – falsely, of course – that “Charlottesville” was his very reason for running for president. He repeated this lie, which has been continually debunked by both right and left for the last seven years, in his inauguration speech. In fact, he has probably repeated this particular lie – that Donald Trump loves Nazis – more often than any other single accusation against the 45th president.

The left – as conservative broadcaster Todd Starnes notes, citing both Newt Gingrich’s and Tucker Carlson’s concerns over Trump being assassinated – is committed to keeping Trump out of the White House by any means necessary. Period. And one of its main methods for accomplishing that end has been to continually liken Trump to Hitler.

Thus, Hillary Clinton’s controversial June 6 D-Day post on X – obliquely but unmistakably identifying Trump with Hitler – was not the exception, but the rule.

Eighty years ago today, thousands of brave Americans fought to protect democracy on the shores of Normandy.

This November, all we have to do is vote.

— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) June 6, 2024

The left’s comparison of Trump with Hitler has been incessant and never-ending. When in 2020 a federal courthouse in Portland, Oregon, was being attacked night after night by violent leftwing radicals attempting to burn it down – with people inside – Trump sent federal law enforcement agents to secure the building, as was his constitutional right and obvious duty. But House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s response? “The use of stormtroopers under the guise of law and order is a tactic that is not appropriate to our country in any way.” Get it? “Stormtroopers”? Trump is another Hitler.

Unidentified stormtroopers. Unmarked cars. Kidnapping protesters and causing severe injuries in response to graffiti.

These are not the actions of a democratic republic.@DHSgov’s actions in Portland undermine its mission.

Trump & his stormtroopers must be stopped.

— Nancy Pelosi (@SpeakerPelosi) July 18, 2020

House Majority Whip James Clyburn echoed the same Hitler comparison, telling CNN: “This president and this attorney general seem to be doing everything they possibly can to impose Gestapo activities in local communities.” Ooh, “Gestapo.” That means Trump is Hitler. CNN’s Don Lemon compared Trump to Hitler on-air, as did Democratic presidential candidate Robert “Beto” O’Rourke.

Throughout Trump’s presidency, Democrats and media personalities continually likened the 45th U.S. president to Hitler. They falsely demonized a heroic, disabled veteran, who nevertheless landed a desk job with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, as being a Nazi. And people like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez even likened Trump’s border detention facilities (without mentioning they were first set up by President Barack Obama) as Nazi “concentration camps.”

Is it possible that AOC is really that ignorant and/or idiotic? Has she ever watched videos of the liberation of real concentration camps like Auschwitz and Dachau and Buchenwald? It’s difficult to view any of these videos and not weep over the unimaginable – that’s the right word, unimaginable – evil that was perpetrated on millions of innocents.

Then there’s this video commercial, titled “God made a dictator,” produced by the “Lincoln Project.” Although one would never expect it from a group with such a nice name, and which Wikipedia describes innocently as “an American political action committee founded in December 2019 by moderate conservatives and former Republican Party members who oppose U.S. President Donald Trump and Trumpism,” the commercial explicitly and viciously equates Donald Trump with three people: Adolf Hitler, Saddam Hussein and Kim Jong Un.

What’s the real message here? What effect might all of these “Trump is just like Hitler!” theatrics have on lost and angry souls like Thomas Matthew Crooks, the young man who shot at Trump in Pennsylvania?

It goes on year after year. Biden officially describes not only Donald Trump, but the entire Republican Party, as “semi-fascists.” This defamation obsession apparently runs in the family. Hunter Biden’s wife, Melissa Biden, recently caught sight of a former Trump aide attending Hunter’s Delaware firearms trial. According to Fox News, she approached the man, pointed her finger at him and said, “You have no right to be here, you Nazi piece of s***.”

But the insanity goes beyond just vile, demented name-calling. Some on the left responded to the Supreme Court’s recent presidential immunity decision by openly fantasizing about Biden “send[ing] in the military to take out Trump.” BBC presenter David Aaronovitch actually called on Biden to have Trump “murdered.”

Lest these be dismissed as isolated nut cases, consider that Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Missouri, a ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee, has plans for Trump if he is sentenced to prison over the 34 pretend “felonies” for which a clueless leftwing Manhattan jury convicted him. In April, Thompson introduced H.R. 8081, the “Denying Infinite Security and Government Resources Allocated toward Convicted and Extremely Dishonorable Former Protectees Act” – or “DISGRACED Former Protectees Act” for short. The legislation is specifically crafted to terminate Secret Service protection for Donald Trump (and any other high government official who otherwise would qualify for such protection) should they be sentenced to prison following conviction for a federal or state felony.

Obviously, the effect of such legislation would be to make it much easier for Donald Trump to be harmed or killed if he is sent to prison by a corrupt New York judge.

Remember this? I do.

Kick his ass out of Congress. Absolute scumbag. https://t.co/vq7JBMVU2v

— J.D. Vance (@JDVance1) July 13, 2024

The Trump-is-Hitler obsession is never-ending: Just a few weeks ago, the Los Angeles Times published a major 2024 election-season news report headlined, “Trump and GOP repeatedly echo Nazi and far-right ideology as they aim to retake White House.” Just as back in 2016, when five different Washington Post writers explicitly compared Trump to Hitler, the LA Times identifies Trump, his speech, his ideology, his values and his presidential agenda with those of history’s most reviled and genocidal mass-murderer, Adolf Hitler and his monstrous Third Reich.

Right now, millions of good Americans, horrified by what happened at the Trump rally in Pennsylvania, are praying. They’re praying for Donald Trump. They’re praying this doesn’t happen again. They’re thanking God for protecting Trump; after all, had the bullet’s trajectory been even an inch or two different, Donald Trump’s skull would have been hit and American history would have been cataclysmically altered forever.

Americans are praying for their nation, for a return of peace and unity and sanity.

And one more thing many are no doubt praying for: That the leftist elites, from Joe Biden on down, including their propaganda media, will STOP insanely fueling unhinged leftists’ monstrous fantasies of assassinating “America’s Hitler,” a man who in reality is one of the best and most-loved presidents ever to bless this nation. They are praying that God might impress into these people’s minds the truth – that Trump is not Hitler, and that Republicans, conservatives, Christians and Trump supporters are not “fascists,” “racists,” “Nazis,” “white supremacists,” “deplorables,” “Christian nationalists,” “violent extremists” and “domestic terrorists.”

They are fervently praying that this wildly insane and dangerous slander will stop before it results in the assassination of a beloved president, and plunges the United States of America – which Ronald Reagan, echoing Christ’s words, once described as “a shining city on a hill”– into unimaginable levels of chaos, suffering and violence.

For in reality, America was founded as an explicitly Christian nation, and for many generations remained the freest, most prosperous, powerful, altruistic and Christian country on the face of the earth.

Yet today, America is disintegrating – indeed, it is on the very brink of destruction.

How can this possibly have happened? And more important, can America be saved?

As recently as a generation ago, this nation’s dominant culture was, however imperfect, essentially moral, patriotic and Judeo-Christian. Politically, of course, there was the continual tug-of-war for power between the two major parties: traditional Democrats, who championed liberal policies like “taxing the rich,” a higher minimum wage, more gun control, a larger “social safety net” and legalized abortion – and Republicans, who favored less government intervention, more individual liberty, free-market capitalism and protecting the unborn. But despite the contentious battles and pendulum swings over who controlled the White House and Congress, America was safe, secure and confident, her freedoms intact, and her culture still decent and sane.

Now fast-forward a few decades into today’s steaming inferno of unprecedented madness.

Democrat politicians today overwhelmingly favor late-term abortion up to the very moment of birth – formerly known as “infanticide.” They encourage children too young to drive or vote to have their breasts and/or sex organs amputated in pursuit of a “gender transition” that is both delusional and impossible, and which leads to staggering rates of depression and suicide. This same mass hysteria likewise leads them to promote the de facto destruction of women’s athletics worldwide by allowing men to compete with women, and to permit countless females to be raped in prison by male inmates claiming to be “trans women.”

Meanwhile, the Democrats and their standard bearer, President Joe Biden – an excruciatingly senile, pathologically dishonest and epically corrupt career political hack – are destroying America’s economy, energy sector, military, law enforcement, election integrity, national security, Constitution and overall national wellbeing as rapidly as possible. At the same time, Team Biden demonizes – and increasingly, imprisons – critics as “violent extremists,” “domestic terrorists,” “white supremacists” and “insurrectionists.” Indeed, they are engaged in an obviously corrupt multi-front legal war against Biden’s chief political rival, Donald J. Trump, in an attempt to send the 45th president of the United States to prison for the rest of his life.

None of this constitutes “politics” in any conventional or traditional American sense. Rather, it is all darkly spiritual – which is simply to say, evil. The United States of America is in the throes of a full-blown spiritual war between good and evil.

Indeed, the most contentious issues vexing the nation today are not political nor even ideological. The aforementioned gender hysteria, which reportedly has seduced more than 300,000 American youths aged 13-17 to “identify as transgender,” is neither “liberal” nor “conservative.” It’s evil and insane.

Same with purposely leaving the nation’s southern border wide open and not only inviting, but intentionally engineering a full-scale and massive foreign invasion of America – including masses of young, single men from terrorist-hotbed countries. Same with Marxist ideology (“critical race theory”) disguised as “anti-racism.” And plying America’s school children with hard-core pornography. And establishing “After School Satan Clubs” in public schools throughout the nation. And corrupting innocent toddlers by forcing them to sit at the feet of mentally ill, demonically possessed men dressed as women for “drag queen story hour” events.

All of this and so much more constitutes genuine spiritual warfare – good versus evil, freedom versus slavery, heaven versus hell, God versus Satan.

The new righteousness

Consider the current widespread support among college-aged Americans for baby-torturing terrorists. Why would so many young people side with Hamas, while condemning Israelis as the genocidal aggressors, when they suffered the greatest one-day mass slaughter of Jews since the Nazi Holocaust and are now defending their nation and people from further attacks and promised annihilation? Moreover, why have so many young Americans recently praised terrorist monster Osama bin Laden after listening to TikTok “influencers” read and discuss the 9-11 mastermind’s 2002 “Letter to America”?

In large measure, it’s a direct result of American education and “woke” culture. Employing many of the same techniques Chinese communists have long used to shape the minds and loyalties of their youth, America’s colleges and universities are indoctrinating the next generation of Americans to see their lighter-skinned (“white”) countrymen as members of the imperialist oppressor class and darker-skinned “people of color” as part of the righteous oppressed class – a core Marxist teaching.

As noted earlier, America has long been overall a Christian nation. But according to the dark religion of Leftism, righteousness does not involve things like obeying God’s commandments, repenting of one’s sins and believing in and following His son, Jesus Christ. Rather, the new righteousness largely consists of simply being part of a victim/oppressed class, members of which are therefore implicitly held to a different behavioral standard than the wicked colonialist oppressors and their privileged progeny. For example, members of the “oppressed” classes are expected – and conditioned – to be angry and enraged, deserving of reparations and revenge. This of course does not mean that everyone falls for this lie – most do not. Yet, the mind-numbing spectacle of California cities essentially legalizing shoplifting below $950 in value demonstrates both sides of this deranged dynamic: The “oppressor” class makes stealing from an “oppressor” business legal, i.e. atonement and reparations, while the “oppressed/enslaved” class is given permission to appropriate said “reparations” at will.

This madness is currently being inculcated into America’s next generation, the future leaders of American government, business and culture.

In light, then, of what can accurately be characterized as straight-up Marxist brainwashing, multitudes of indoctrinated Americans are now condemning the Israelis as genocidal-colonialist-imperialist-apartheid monsters, and Hamas (who have roasted Israeli babies alive in their parents’ ovens and literally gang-raped Israeli women to death) as victims and noble freedom fighters.

‘Nothing but revenge is left to me’

Since Marxism, however artfully disguised, has become so prevalent in American education, culture and government, it might be useful to pause and consider the source.

Most people believe that Karl Marx, the originator of the ideology bearing his name, was an atheist, who sincerely came up with a system, however egregiously flawed, of reorganizing society and government to make it more equitable and just. But Marxism’s inventor was not an atheist. In reality, Karl Marx HATED God, vowing revenge on the Creator and His Heavenly realm, and said so repeatedly.

That is what Marxism is really about – hatred of God and His laws and ways, and an insane and rebellious attempt to replace the Creator’s perfect plan for mankind with a diabolical one that nevertheless sounds appealing. Kind of like the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden.

As scholar and author Paul Kengor, author of “The Devil and Karl Marx,” reveals:

Marx’s poems and plays are rife with pacts with the devil, suicide pacts, violence, vengeance, fire, despair, destruction and death. Marx waxed poetic about “Hellish vapors,” about the “Prince of Darkness” selling a “blood-dark sword [that] shall stab unerringly within thy soul,” of “Heaven I’ve forfeited, I know it full well, My soul, once true to God, Is Chosen for Hell.”

Marx summed up his attitude toward God perfectly in his poem, “Invocation of One in Despair”:

So a god has snatched from me my all,
In the curse and rack of destiny.
All his worlds are gone beyond recall.
Nothing but revenge is left to me.

Kengor described Marx and his legacy in an interview with John Zmirak for “The Stream”:

“There were times when Marx seemed to be possessed by demons,” recorded Robert Payne in his chapter “The Demons.” This appeared in his seminal 1968 biography of Marx. “He had the devil’s view of the world, and the devil’s malignity. Sometimes he seemed to know that he was accomplishing works of evil.”

What is undeniable is the evil associated with and wrought by Marxist-communist ideology: at least 100 million dead in the 20th century alone.

There is an important message in all of this for decent Americans who realize their great country – from its government to its culture to its educational system to even many of its businesses – has been seriously infected with the spiritual cancer of Marxism. And it is this:

To save their country, in addition to all the obvious concrete steps like electing Donald Trump as president next November, closing the border and initiating mass deportations of illegals, re-opening America’s energy sector, stopping the insane mass mutilation of America’s children, expelling “woke” madness from America’s military, and more – all of which Trump promises to put into motion immediately if re-elected president – something else is required.

For even though America is still full of tens of millions of the most decent and soulful people on earth, their nation as a whole desperately needs a spiritual and cultural rebirth. It needs to re-embrace Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “dream” of a truly color-blind meritocracy, where no one is “judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”

But even deeper still, America needs to experience a true, deep and heartfelt revival, a rebirth of reverence for God and His ways and His commandments and His Son and His plan of salvation. Of loving one’s neighbor, and even one’s enemies. Of faith and forgiveness and sacrifice and humility and sincere repentance, and all the other Christian virtues.

Including courage. Yes, Americans need to rediscover the courage to speak the truth in love, which encourages and strengthens other good people, driving out fear and confusion and hopelessness. And having done so, to get down on their knees and pray fervently that a great and merciful God would spare their troubled and corrupted land, awaken its sleep-walking citizens, and breathe His redeeming life into their beloved country once again.

The preceding is adapted from David Kupelian’s introductory story in the current issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled “CAN AMERICA BE SAVED? The world’s freest, most Christian nation is on the brink of destruction.”

SPECIAL OFFER: David Kupelian’s classic bestseller, “The Marketing of Evil: How Radicals, Elitists and Pseudo-Experts Sell Us Corruption Disguised as Freedom,” promoted by Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham and countless others, has just been re-released in a new EXPANDED PAPERBACK EDITION with BRAND-NEW CHAPTERS exploring the latest extraordinary developments in the Biden-era promotion of destructive lifestyles, worldviews and political agendas so insane that, just a few short years ago, few dreamed they could ever take root in America.

At the same time, Kupelian’s critically acclaimed sequel, “The Snapping of the American Mind: Healing a Nation Broken by a Lawless Government and a Godless Culture,” has also been re-released in a brand new, REVISED AND EXPANDED PAPERBACK EDITION, including ALL-NEW CHAPTERS illuminating the astonishing “1984”-style transformation of America taking place today.

Both “The Marketing of Evil” and “The Snapping of the American Mind” are available now, at DISCOUNTED PRICES, at the WND Superstore.

And of course, all globalists. Al Gore, at a recent World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, preached a fire-and-brimstone sermon, assuring the faithful that climate change is indeed decimating planet earth. “That’s what’s boiling the oceans,” he railed, his voice rising to a fever pitch, “creating these atmospheric rivers, and the rain bombs, and sucking the moisture out of the land, and creating the droughts, and melting the ice and raising the sea level, and causing these waves of climate refugees!”

Although Gore and other global-warming prophets have amassed a spectacular record of making dramatic, time-specific predictions that have utterly failed to materialize, nevertheless, so-called “climate change deniers” are increasingly likened to “Holocaust deniers.” Psychological organizations now pathologize “climate change denialism” as virtually some sort of mental illness. And Democrat politicians – including of course Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who publicly predicted “the world will end” by 2032 – have nothing but contempt and disgust for the unconverted. Even Joe Biden recently attacked skeptics of catastrophic climate change as “lying, dog-faced pony soldiers.”

Yet ironically, today’s high priests of climate-change apocalypse are actually correct in predicting that in just a few short years, the earth may well become miserable, wretched and almost uninhabitable by human beings.

But such a grim future will not come about because of “catastrophic climate change,” as global-warming zealots claim. Rather, the earth will rapidly degenerate into the pitiful and desolate habitat for mankind they predict, with massive suffering and death – if their genuinely catastrophic agenda is actually implemented.

Dr. Patrick Moore, co-founder of the environmental group Greenpeace, recently weighed in on the elites’ insistence on cutting greenhouse gases to “Net Zero,” saying: “If they actually achieve Net Zero, at least 50% of the population would die of hunger and disease.” Citing just one of many factors – the dependence by over half the world’s population on nitrogen-based fertilizer, which many climate-change activists want to ban, including in the Netherlands and Sri Lanka which have already done so – Moore adds: “So it is truly a death wish in disguise. And the disguise is to save the earth.”

Likewise, energy expert Alex Epstein, in his critically acclaimed book, “Fossil Future: Why Global Human Flourishing Requires More Oil, Coal, and Natural Gas – Not Less,” writes:

“Today’s proposed policies to rapidly eliminate fossil fuel use would, if fully implemented, have truly apocalyptic consequences – making the world an impoverished, dangerous, and miserable place for most people. And even if fossil fuel elimination policies aren’t fully implemented,” adds Epstein, “– which they won’t be, given the expressed intent of China, Russia, and India to increase their fossil fuel use – even widespread restrictions on fossil fuel use that fall far short of elimination will shorten and inflict misery on billions of lives, especially in the poorest parts of the world.”

Epstein, founder of the Center for Industrial Progress, doesn’t claim fossil fuels and CO2 emissions don’t impact climate in any way. “I totally acknowledge,” he writes, “that they have contributed to the 1-degree Celsius warming we’ve experienced over the last one-hundred-plus years.”

Question: When the scientific case for catastrophic global warming and its resulting worldwide apocalypse consists largely of a 1-degree Celsius rise in temperature over more than a century, why are all the governments of the Western world obsessed with imminent climate-change apocalypse as their unifying principle of governing, public policy, international relations and virtually everything else?

Before addressing the astonishing truth underlying what has become, in reality, a full-fledged religion created and exploited by global elites obsessed with ruling the world, let’s first consider those segments of society most captivated by this apocalyptic cult.

Ironically, while claiming to follow “the science,” global warming cult followers tend to comprise the very population demonstrating the least regard for actual science in other areas of life and public policy:

* Many believe a baby inside its mother’s womb is not a human being – at least, not until the very moment he or she is born, when that child instantaneously morphs into a person of great value, with all the natural, constitutional and God-given rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. One minute earlier, the child was just a glob of worthless tissue, equivalent to a tumor that could be ripped into pieces, extracted and disposed of as medical waste. This is an entirely accurate, if graphic, representation of the prevailing belief of today’s Democratic Party, with 46 Senate Democrats having voted just last year in favor of legalizing abortion up until the very moment of birth.

* This same cult population segment tends to believe mentally ill men who claim they are women actually are women – and vice versa. Worse, they defend, or at least acquiesce to, the practice of grooming mentally fragile teenagers into undergoing horrendous amputations and other harmful, irreversible “treatments” in pursuit of “gender transitions” that are not only scientifically impossible, but insane.

* What about the news media’s obsession with climate apocalypse? Starting well over a century ago, way back in 1895 – when Grover Cleveland was president, “America the Beautiful” was first published and volleyball had just been invented – the New York Times scared its readers to death with warnings of a coming “new ice age.” This media-driven hysteria lasted into the late 1920s, when the Times suddenly switched gears and warned “the earth is steadily growing warmer.” That lasted until 1954, when Fortune magazine led the way with a warning that another ice age was coming. Although the New York Times stoked “global warming” fears into the late 1950s, by 1975 it was back to “new ice age” hysteria. A few years later, the Times reverted back to panicking its readers over global warming of an “almost unprecedented magnitude.”

“In all,” reveal R. Warren Anderson and Dan Gainor in their in-depth report titled “Fire and Ice,” “the print news media have warned of four separate climate changes in slightly more than 100 years – global cooling, warming, cooling again, and, perhaps not so finally, warming.” No wonder the priests of climate doom switched their label, over the last couple decades, from “global warming” to the omnidirectional phrase “climate change.”

* And what about all the scientists who have joined the cult of the climate apocalypse? Why would they go along with an overblown, politically driven hoax? The answer, sadly, became clear during the COVID era, when many scientists, doctors and hospitals took their lead from, and adopted the questionable views and medical practices of, highly politicized (and therefore dishonest) federal agencies like the FDA and the CDC. Rather than “following the science” themselves – as a few very principled doctors did, who often were seriously persecuted for their integrity – most doctors lacked the requisite courage to take a stand and risk losing their positions or even their careers. After all, the saying goes, “I have a family to support.”

* Finally, there are the millions of young people indoctrinated and traumatized continually in today’s government (“public”) school system about near-term, human-caused catastrophic climate change. Brainwashing a child into fearing the future and loathing the adults supposedly responsible for destroying their planet is egregious child abuse. Case in point: When a very troubled 16-year-old Swedish girl named Greta Thunberg, burdened with autism, OCD and eating disorders, somehow was presented to the world as the voice of the younger generation and an expert on climate science, she scolded the entire adult population in her celebrated and very angry U.N. speech: “We are in the beginning of a mass extinction, and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth. HOW DARE YOU? You have stolen my dreams and my childhood!” she thundered. Multiply Greta Thunberg by millions, and one gets a glimpse of the trauma government education and the news media have inflicted on the next generation.

‘Some kind of god’

But what about the real villains, the people who know the global warming religion is just a means to a greater end that has nothing whatsoever to do with the weather?

The global elites – the super-wealthy climate-change high priests like Al Gore who fly into Davos in their mega-gas-guzzling-and-polluting private jets while scolding everyone else for driving cars, and who dine on steak and lobster while admonishing the rest of the world to eat insects – these are the high priests of the global apocalyptic climate cult.

To understand them, it’s first essential to dispense with the old paradigms of “liberal,” “progressive,” “democratic” and other feelgood but meaningless ideological labels. The true leaders of this movement are people whose only ideology and value system is personal wealth, power, privilege, honor and glory for themselves, and who are completely obsessed with ruling planet earth. They want to be gods. So far, only billionaire leftist George Soros has had the nerve to actually describe himself, to the news media, as “some kind of god.”

Unfortunately, these sociopaths benefit from a de facto camouflage, rooted in the innate decency of normal people who simply do not comprehend what it is to be a sociopath. After all, moral people with an intact conscience, which probably still includes most Americans, readily understand the normal flaws that beset normal people – like becoming upset, angry, envious, double-minded, anxious, depressed, perhaps even enraged. They do not, however, readily recognize nor comprehend the desire to control the world, the willingness to let massive numbers of people suffer and die, the ability to look directly into a television camera – which is to say, to look right into the eyes of millions of people – and lie without any inner conflict. Sociopaths comprise a breed of people animated by feelings, desires and ambitions totally foreign to regular folks who are thus blind to this elite community that includes some of the top climate-change global high priests.

‘The climate change agenda is a hoax’

Is there any hope? America’s future direction, and by extension much of the world’s future, rides heavily on the outcome of the November 2024 election, and this is especially true with regard to climate change.

Whereas Biden has publicly promised to completely eliminate fossil fuels from America, a statement that is not only entirely insane, but catastrophically destructive to the nation, the GOP presidential candidates tend to be far more reality-based. Vivek Ramaswamy, on-stage at the first GOP presidential debate in August, said: “The climate change agenda is a hoax. … And so the reality is, more people are dying of bad climate change policies than they are of actual climate change.”

For his part, Donald Trump, far and away the top GOP contender for the presidency next year, has a clear record of boldly and sensibly dealing with climate hysteria. During his presidency, he withdrew from Obama’s job-destroying and obviously unfair Paris Climate Accords, rolled back destructive and perverse regulations, and made America energy independent and a net oil exporter. Recently, Trump called for an end to the “madness” of Joe Biden’s big push for electric vehicles in the U.S., adding that this would send all auto manufacturing jobs to China and effectively destroy America’s automobile industry.

How about blocking the sun?

Finally, consider that a slew of multi-billionaire leftists, including George Soros and Bill Gates, are enthusiastically pushing for “solar geoengineering,” a nice scientific-sounding phrase for blocking sunlight from reaching the earth.

In fact, reports Forbes, Gates “is financially backing the development of sun-dimming technology that would potentially reflect sunlight out of Earth’s atmosphere, triggering a global cooling effect. The Stratospheric Controlled Perturbation Experiment (SCoPEx), launched by Harvard University scientists, aims to examine this solution by spraying non-toxic calcium carbonate (CaCO3) dust into the atmosphere – a sun-reflecting aerosol that may offset the effects of global warming.”

Blocking the sun has become something of an obsession with leftist billionaires bent on ruling the planet. As Time magazine reported earlier this year, “Among the world’s ultra-rich, plans to swat back the sun’s rays like they’re capital gains taxes … have seemingly been all the rage.”

For example, Time revealed, “Jeff Bezos put Amazon’s supercomputer capabilities to work modeling the effects of plans to inject huge amounts of sulfur dioxide (SO2) into the atmosphere.” Likewise, “Dustin Moskovitz, a billionaire Facebook cofounder, plowed $900,000 into funding for scientists in Mali, Brazil, Thailand, and other countries to study the potential effects of solar geoengineering.”

Blocking the sun’s rays from reaching the earth. What could possibly go wrong?

“Such proposals to essentially hack the atmosphere,” Time adds, belatedly, “have long been controversial in the climate science world due to potential side effects on global weather.”

It’s always those pesky “side effects” that cause all the problems.

Predictably, in June the Biden White House announced it is now studying congressional proposals to block sunlight to reduce global warming.

According to the White House’s official report on the project: “A program of research into the scientific and societal implications of solar radiation modification (SRM) would enable better-informed decisions about the potential risks and benefits of SRM as a component of climate policy, alongside the foundational elements of greenhouse gas emissions mitigation and adaptation. Such a research program would also help to prepare the United States for possible deployment of SRM by other public or private actors.”

All of this because of a 1-degree rise in temperature over the course of more than 140 years.

But then, it never was about a minuscule rise in global temperature. It’s all about creating and sustaining the ultimate “emergency” – the most perfect “manufactured crisis” imaginable since it affects every person on earth. And since the entire existence of life on earth hangs in the balance, it’s necessary, under cover of this new global “climate” religion, to suspend the rule of law, trash the Constitution, crush free speech, terrify all the children, destroy entire industries, prosecute dissenters, impoverish billions, and establish a total global dictatorship.

But all for the public’s good, of course.

EDITOR’S NOTE: The preceding is adapted from David Kupelian’s introductory story to the September 2023 issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, an issue titled “CULT OF THE CLIMATE APOCALYPSE: The elites’ breathtaking strategy for ruling the world.”

The heart and soul of today’s bizarre, pagan climate-change religion, and the global elites’ strategies for using it to rule all of mankind, is powerfully exposed and illuminated in this issue.

As things currently stand, their choice will be between two men: One has already proven, as president, that he has contempt for America and her people and fully intends to dismantle the greatest nation in history. The other has likewise proven, as president, that he loves America and Americans, and fully intends to restore their nation to its former greatness.

Yet the outcome of this essentially good-versus-evil contest is currently very much in doubt. How can that be?

Let’s set the stage by briefly widening our focus and honestly considering the era in which we now live:

Two and a half centuries after being founded by visionary, God-fearing patriots, the United States of America is currently being seduced, betrayed, robbed and ruined by an elite ruling class consisting largely of power-addicted sociopaths.

The current U.S. president, Joe Biden, is a criminal – in fact, he’s the patriarch (“big guy”) of an entire crime family. Their influence-peddling operations, through which many family members have raked in millions of dollars selling access to Biden to foreign actors – including major adversaries China and Russia – are now well-documented and indisputable, leading members of Congress to introduce articles of impeachment, and some congressmen and veteran analysts even to accuse Biden of the high crime of treason.

Moreover, Biden’s perverse policies in every area – from intentionally destroying America’s energy sector to intentionally engineering a massive foreign invasion of America – are degrading the nation at breathtaking speed.

And of course, the election process by which the obviously incompetent and mentally impaired Biden became leader of the free world in 2020 was egregiously compromised – which is to say, rigged – a fact every politically aware American now knows to be true, thanks to recent revelations confirming epic collusion between the FBI and Big Tech in suppressing extremely negative news about Biden shortly before the election.

The Democrats’ previous presidential contender in 2016, Hillary Clinton, is likewise epically corrupt and criminal. “No one has even come close in recent years to enriching themselves on the scale of the Clintons while they or a spouse continued to serve in public office,” reveals respected author-journalist Peter Schweitzer in “Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Business Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich.”

Before Biden and Clinton, America had to endure eight years of Barack Obama, a quintessentially amoral, “end-justifies-the means” Marxist radical who employed all the far left’s revolutionary warfare tactics espoused by his mentor, “Rules for Radicals” author Saul Alinsky. Propelled to the White House on promises that “America’s first black president” would heal any remaining racial tensions in America, Obama did precisely the opposite, continually fomenting, exacerbating and flat-out manufacturing racial hatreds where few or none existed.

Barack Obama inflicted more genuine, lasting harm on America than any president in the history of the republic. At least, until Joe Biden became the puppet head of what many call “Obama’s third term.”

Down the escalator

So, into this boiling cauldron of revolutionary, elitist, globalist, criminal and demonic forces dared to step billionaire businessman and television celebrity Donald J. Trump.

On June 16, 2015, following his famous ride down the Trump Tower escalator with wife Melania at his side, Trump announced he was entering the race for the presidency. From that day until now, eight years later, Trump has been public enemy number one of “the ruling class,” “the elites,” the “Deep State,” or as many call it, the Washington, D.C. “Swamp,” which Trump promised to “drain.”

It didn’t matter that virtually every policy Trump proposed – from making America energy independent, to rebuilding her military, to negotiating more favorable trade agreements with other nations, to securing America’s borders to halt the increasingly out-of-control invasion – was eminently sensible and in-sync with the values of the great center-right American middle class, traditionally the nation’s moral and economic backbone. The elites of government, media, culture and academia immediately began their nonstop attacks on Donald Trump as the new Hitler.

An example from Day One: When Trump commented on the rampant sexual abuse of women and girls making the trek northward through Mexico to America’s southern border, he used the term “rapists” to describe some of the men involved. Fact: The sexual abuse rate for women and girls heading through Mexico to America, according to Amnesty International, is a horrendous 60%, although some organizations peg it as low as 30% and others as high as 80%. That’s a lot of “rapists.” Indeed, being sexually abused has long been essentially the price of admission for women and girls trying to enter America illegally from the south.

Yet, after Trump called attention to this scandalously under-reported sexual predation on women and girls, he was idiotically accused for months, and in some cases even for years, of having accused Mexicans in general of being rapists. “He calls Mexicans rapists!” whined virtually every leftwing news network and cable channel host. Indeed, some major media voices even inserted the word “all” so they could fraudulently quote Trump as having said, “All Mexicans are rapists.”

Nevertheless, to the everlasting shock and horror of the elites, Trump prevailed in the 2016 presidential election.

It’s essential to understand that Trump was not supposed to win. That eventuality was not anywhere in the elites’ playbook. It could not happen. Virtually every major establishment polling firm confidently predicted Hillary Clinton would become the 45th president.

Since his surprise election, the same pattern of hysterical and breathtakingly dishonest attacks on Trump has continued and enlarged, year after year, into the present.

Why? Very simply – unlike so many Republicans who, despite their occasional strong rhetoric, are just too comfortable with the privileges, prestige, wealth and power of the D.C. Swamp – Trump represents a genuine threat to the Deep State, which considers it utterly irrelevant that the former president’s agenda and ideas resonate powerfully with the American public. It doesn’t matter that he is a smart, experienced, savvy negotiator who can deftly manage foreign leaders, even the most psychopathic, like North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. It doesn’t t matter that Trump has demonstrated abundant common sense, energy, capacity for hard work, and genuine courage. Or that he possesses an authentic love and respect for America, its people, its military, its key institutions. Trump truly believes America was the greatest nation on earth, and pledges to help make it great again.

None of that matters to the ruling elites. In fact, that’s the problem. So, from their perspective, Trump has to be destroyed.

Thus, having failed to knock Trump out during his four years as president via the fabricated Trump-Russia collusion scandal – conceived and funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign, as the Durham report conclusively proves – or through two circus-like impeachment trials, the D.C. elites have gone into overdrive to stop Trump from winning the 2024 presidential election.

First, there was “January 6.” An early 2021 demonstration-turned-riot by Trump supporters who passionately believed, with good reason, that the recent election – and therefore their country – had just been stolen from them, was converted by deceitfully opportunistic Democrats and their media propagandists into an “armed insurrection,” even though none of the protesters arrested for walking around in the Capitol building were armed. Biden called it “the worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War,” while Vice President Kamala Harris somberly compared the riot with Imperial Japan’s surprise bombing of Pearl Harbor and Al-Qaida’s Sept. 11, 2001, mass terror attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Each of those attacks resulted in the deaths of thousands of innocent Americans. But the only person killed on Jan. 6 was an unarmed female Trump supporter, Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt, who was shot dead at close range and without provocation by a Capitol Hill policeman.

Today, with approximately a thousand pro-Trump Americans already arrested, many on absurd charges like trespassing, some are still cruelly imprisoned in solitary confinement. Meanwhile, the Biden administration has promised – two years later – to arrest yet another thousand pro-Trump demonstrators for something-or-other they supposedly did on Jan. 6, 2021.

Then in March of this year, Trump was indicted in New York on 34 counts of supposedly “falsifying business records in the first degree,” the trial conveniently scheduled to begin on March 25, 2024 – right in the middle of the 2024 election cycle. In June, still more indictments were filed against Trump, this time on 37 federal criminal charges related to his handling of classified government documents.

And most recently, Trump has been notified by Biden’s Department of Justice that he is now a “target of the January 6th Grand Jury”! Indeed, the Democrats’ end-game appears to be a perverse attempt to constitutionally bar Trump from ever again seeking public office on the grounds that he violated the 14th Amendment, Section 3, which forbids any person from holding any elected office who “shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against” the United States of America.

Honest and knowledgeable legal analysts not in league with the Biden administration openly classify the indictments against Trump as somewhere between frivolous and obviously politically motivated – and the ultimate proof of a two-tiered justice system.

And yet, Trump is already facing – during the white heat schedule of a history-changing election year when presidential candidates are campaigning around the clock – being embroiled in never-ending, back-to-back trials. Specifically, his “New York civil fraud trial” starts in just a few weeks, on Oct. 2, 2023. Then the “second E. Jean Carroll civil defamation trial” starts three months later on Jan. 15, 2024. Then the “Manhattan hush-money trial” starts just two months after that, on March 25, 2024. And then two months later, starting May 20, 2024, begins Trump’s “federal classified documents trial” in Florida! In other words, Trump’s opponents intend to keep him tied up in shameful, bogus, politically motivated trial after trial after trial after trial throughout the entire election season.

Oh, and what happens if these grotesque trials deliver guilty verdicts? Legal experts calculate that the 77-year-old former president could be facing over 400 years in prison.

2 radically different standards of justice

Of course, in keeping with the left’s reflexive defense mechanism of projection – that is, accusing others of the very evils of which they themselves are guilty – the compulsion to treat Donald Trump like a criminal has everything to do with the fact that his accusers and persecutors themselves are criminals.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich fleshes out this point in a recent article headlined “The Wrong Indictments,” when we writes: “The left has been desperately trying to stop Trump since he announced his candidacy in 2015 (recall the made-up Trump Tower-Moscow scandal, the phony Russia-Trump collusion scandal, the made-for-TV impeachment efforts, etc.).”

Dismissing the indictments against Trump as entirely political, Gingrich goes on to say, “There are several other indictments that should have been announced to reestablish the integrity of the rule of law.”

First, corrupt FBI agents such as those identified in the Durham Report should have already been indicted for extraordinary violations of their oaths of office. They lied to FISA court judges. They deliberately pursued a case they knew was based on a lie. They leaked knowingly phony information to the left-wing media to further undermine Trump – first as a candidate and then as the President of the United States. They should all face legal consequences.

Other FBI officials should be indicted for colluding to protect Hillary Clinton when she clearly broke the law repeatedly. How many classified documents were saved on then-Secretary of State Clinton’s illegal home server? How did her emails end up on Anthony Weiner’s laptop? How does someone erase more than 32,000 potentially evidentiary emails and get off scot-free? How does a government official order her staff to destroy evidentiary hard drives with a hammer and face no consequences? Further, why did the then-director of the FBI arrogate to himself a decision that belongs to prosecutors and hold a press conference exonerating Clinton during a presidential campaign?

After exposing still other Deep State malefactors and recommending various additional prosecutions, Gingrich concludes, sensationally:

President Biden, Hunter Biden, and other members of the Biden family should be under indictment for influence peddling and accepting bribes.

Does anyone seriously believe the widow of the mayor of Moscow sent Hunter Biden $3.5 million out of the goodness of her heart? Did the Ukrainian natural gas firm Burisma pay Hunter Biden millions because of his expertise? Does anyone really think a Chinese billionaire sent Hunter Biden an exquisite diamond just because they are just good friends?

Chairman James Comer and the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability have produced evidence that the depth of deliberate corruption in the Biden family operation is worthy of a Hollywood blockbuster. The Bidens have created layers of phony companies as pass-throughs to hide a trail of foreign money they’ve been getting.

President Biden claims to know nothing of his son’s business dealings, but the records show then-Vice President Biden was routinely meeting with Hunter Biden’s business associates. The evidence is clear that Biden’s brother was also deeply involved in the influence-peddling scheme.

Much of this was initially reported as Hunter Biden’s laptop began to be investigated. Biden government officials immediately falsely claimed the story was Russian disinformation. Whistleblowers and potential eyewitnesses have been surfacing. Yet, after three years, there has been no action. In fact, FBI leadership insisted that the IRS disband a team that was looking into Hunter Biden and corruption.

These are the indictments that should have been announced this week. Instead, the FBI has protected the Bidens just as it protected the Clintons.

The contrast with the ruthless, dishonest, and illegal efforts to ruin President Trump is stunning.

Prime rib for me, insects for thee

Finally, just to drill down to the very heart and soul of the matter, it’s necessary to try to understand the non-understandable – that is, to comprehend the mindset of people so compromised, corrupt and without conscience that regular, decent people cannot easily comprehend how such people think, reason and justify their egregious crimes.

In fact, it may be easier to glimpse this aberrant mindset by briefly focusing on the larger “swamp” – the globalist elites, the George Soros and Bill Gates types, the World Economic Forum bigwigs like Klaus Schwab and Biden envoy John Kerry and even China’s Xi Jinping, who sometimes headlines WEF events.

These are people who literally want to rule the world.

Consider, just as one example, that these elite globalists passionately proselytize for the elimination of gasoline-powered vehicles and encourage the world’s populations to give up eating meat – all, of course, rooted in their fervent concerns over “catastrophic climate change.” Yet these very same people fly into these catered Davos shindigs in their private jets and dine on lobster tail and prime rib, while simultaneously urging the rest of the world (i.e., “the rabble”) to eat insects.

Such staggering hypocrisy, ego and arrogance – masked by a messianic religious zeal and feigned devotion to a higher good for all mankind – is precisely the mentality of American elites like Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and others.

So, this is the nation – and world – the next president will have to deal with. Right now, there is only one person who has demonstrated, in the great arena, the almost superhuman strength to make a positive difference in an extraordinarily dangerous world and, at home, a society populated with so many pathologically corrupt players and institutions. That person is Donald J. Trump.

And don’t forget the profound truth Trump often cites, and which he repeated at a Georgia rally a few weeks ago, when he reminded the audience: “In the end, they’re not coming after me. They’re coming after you – and I’m just standing in their way.”
