<\/div>\n<\/div>\nBy Brandon Smith<\/em><\/p>\n In recent articles I\u2019ve been discussing the ways in which the political left exploits the principles of a society as a shield to destroy that society. In other words, if a nation has a certain historic regard for freedom, they will try to destroy that nation while under the protection of those freedoms. If you point out what they\u2019re doing and try to stop them, they then argue that you are \u201cviolating your own principles,\u201d the same principles which they are trying to tear down.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a form of psychological warfare designed to create a Catch-22: If the target population sits back and does nothing in the face of the cultural onslaught, their heritage and their beliefs are systematically dismantled. If people take action to disrupt the saboteurs, they are accused of being hypocrites who don\u2019t actually value the freedoms they claim to value.<\/p>\n However, this little mind game relies on a certain false relationship. It requires that the population under attack continues to see the saboteurs as integral members of that society with the same freedoms and the same protections. They are Americans just like us, and therefore we have to treat them merely as citizens in disagreement even though they would like nothing better than to see our culture burn.<\/p>\n Globalists and woke leftists often openly boast about their agenda to deconstruct western society and replace it with their own ideological cult. They are not simply in disagreement, they have declared war.<\/p>\n They\u2019ve been treating conservatives and patriots as the enemy for quite some time, while we continue to treat them as fellow citizens. They tried to erase all of our freedoms permanently during the covid panic (which they perpetuated through false information). They tried to create a government apparatus working with social media corporations for mass censorship. They tried to create punishments for people who spoke against the establishment narrative. They supported vaccine mandates that would have enslaved Americans for years to come. They almost got what they wanted, too.<\/p>\n They then twisted the events of the Jan 6th<\/sup>\u00a0protests and declared war on us again. They fired rubber bullets and tear gas into the crowds, got a violent response, and then acted as if the reaction was an \u201cinsurrection.\u201d<\/p>\n They have targeted our children with political and sexual indoctrination in an effort to groom them into willing servants to the woke cause. They have saturated our media from commercials to movies with an endless stream of DEI propaganda, all while\u00a0claiming WE are \u201cterrorists\u201d<\/a>\u00a0because we refuse to spend our money on woke products.<\/p>\n When someone is actively at war with you they are no longer a part of your community or tribe.\u00a0 They can\u2019t claim to be Americans while also planning to undermine everything that makes America what it is. When someone is working tirelessly to destroy the constitutional principles you hold dear, they don\u2019t get to use those same freedoms as a buffer against retaliation.<\/p>\n An enemy in war is meant to be defeated; their \u201crights\u201d are secondary to this goal.<\/p>\n Again, this is not a political disagreement. This is not a friendly debate among countrymen with the best of intentions. This is not a cultural speed bump on the way to mutual benefit. This division is irreparable. It cannot be salvaged. This is about survival. THIS IS WAR.<\/p>\n This is why I smiled when I read the\u00a0story of Michael Cassidy<\/a>, a former US Navy fighter pilot who destroyed a satanic statue of Baphomet on display at the Iowa State Capitol Building. The political left is in an uproar on social media, and as expected they argue that this incident is proof that conservatives are \u201cauthoritarians\u201d hellbent on dictatorship. They say the statue has a constitutional right to be there if any other religious symbols are allowed to be there \u2013 But does this really matter to the situation?<\/p>\n My personal feelings about organized religion are complicated, but I still recognize the replacement tactics being used by the political left to undermine the west; they have been clearly targeting Christianity for many years. The satanic statue in Iowa may or may not represent satanism and evil to the people who paid to have it placed in the capitol, but it does represent their ongoing effort to wear down American foundations using any tool they can find.<\/p>\n Here are the reasons why what Cassidy did is absolutely acceptable under our current political conditions, even in the face of constitutional questions\u2026<\/p>\n 1)<\/strong>\u00a0Do we really even live in a \u201cconstitutional society\u201d anymore?\u00a0 Or does the 1st Amendment only apply when it\u2019s convenient to leftists?\u00a0 As mentioned above, the political left and their allies have been working overtime to destroy freedom of speech through collusion between governments, corporate media and Big Tech.\u00a0 Mass censorship was the norm during covid and leftists defended it vigorously. These people are in no position to use the 1st<\/sup>\u00a0Amendment as a tent pole for their ideological games. Sorry, but that ship has sailed; they have lost the privilege of wrapping themselves in the flag.<\/p>\n 2)<\/strong>\u00a0The political left has been aggressively attempting to demolish historic monuments and\u00a0statues of Founding Fathers<\/a>\u00a0in an effort to erase our connections to the past.\u00a0 In 2021 they even removed a nearly 200-year-old statue of Thomas Jefferson from the New York City Hall building on the grounds that it was a \u201csymbol of racism.\u201d What goes around comes around.\u00a0 They tear down our statues, now we tear down their statues.<\/p>\n 3)<\/strong>\u00a0Michael Cassidy is not a government representative, just as most of us are not government representatives. Leftists seem to operate under the false assumption that constitutional rules are meant to restrict public behavior. They are not. They are meant to restrict the government.<\/p>\n The Iowa state government didn\u2019t tear that satanic statue down (unlike the New York City government that removed Thomas Jefferson). Rather, it was just a man, a regular citizen.<\/p>\n This is not a 1st<\/sup>\u00a0Amendment issue because Michael Cassidy is not bound by the 1st<\/sup>\u00a0Amendment in this situation. He might be guilty of vandalism under the law, just like thousands of woke activists across the country are guilty of vandalism for destroying monuments and government buildings, but that is all.\u00a0 This is not a legal battle, this is war.<\/p>\n 4)<\/strong>\u00a0Most conservatives are not even arguing the matter on 1st<\/sup>\u00a0Amendment grounds. Instead, they argue the matter on moral grounds. Is it right to allow satanic symbols to stand in our institutions of law and institutions of heritage? Symbols that represent moral relativism, narcissism, chaos and psychopathy? Is it right to look the other way while a subversive activist movement works to demolish everything we hold dear?<\/p>\n 5)<\/strong>\u00a0Does every belief system or ideology deserve a place of \u201cequality\u201d within our society? Every death cult? Every terrorist or criminal philosophy? Are they ALL entitled to statues and monuments on public property? Or, is there a line? Should there be statues of Hitler, Stalin and Mao in the halls of Congress? Should there be a Pol Pot bust on the floor of the Senate? Should Charles Manson get his face on Mount Rushmore because of the 1st Amendment?\u00a0 There is such a thing as standards, but leftists think that when it comes to their ideological goals, there are no standards.<\/p>\n Never before in the history of the US has there been a time when a statue of Baphomet in a state government building would have been treated as acceptable, even under constitutional law. Suddenly, in the past decade we\u2019re supposed to treat these destructive symbols as equal to other religions and give them places of reverence on public grounds? I think not.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/alt-market.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DemCovid1.jpg\")
