The single, most distressing question no one wants to contemplate: Has the U.S. Constitution already been terminated? — Leo Hohmann

We have a guest post today from the great constitutional attorney John Whitehead, who strikes at the core of the situation facing America and by extension the entirety of the formerly Free World. He poses the question no one wants to ask, let alone try to answer.

The media, including most of the conservative media, keeps us distracted and gaslighted with sensational stories…. while ignoring strong indications that our government has been hijacked and occupied by an alien entity that is 100 percent hostile to the nation’s Constitution and its people.

This entity ruling the people from Washington is every bit as dangerous and bloodthirsty as the foreign dictator we’re supposed to hate and fear, as it has been known to harass truth-tellers, making sure just enough of them die or disappear under debatable circumstances (Philip HaneySeth RichGary WebbMichael Hastings, etc.). As a result, everyday Americans are left feeling angry, confused, disoriented, disillusioned, isolated, powerless and, most importantly, looking at everyone but the real source of their growing misery.

Are the dominoes about to fall? — John Barber

Are the dominoes about to fall? I was reminded earlier today, by Facebook, that two years ago to the day I posted on my page a link to an article I wrote earlier that day titled: “Trumpwatch 41 – when the Dominos fall”. It was to do with the November 3rd 2020 US Presidential election, […]  Are the dominoes about to fall? — JRB Publications

After his having gone down ‘the rabbit hole’ I particularly like this paragraph of John’s in which he summarises my thoughts on the progress of Biblical and modern prophesied exposure of political evil and corruption:

“I try to check out from a variety of sources (I wrote “Where to go to for news?” nine months ago and am still finding new, often unexpected, sources) and I also consider what the political prophets have to say. The challenge is an impossible one, of course, but it seems that now, more than ever, we are seeing more deeply into what is really going on, revealing things are not what once they seemed to be and with the web of corruption untangling by the day.”

Google rates my blog ‘suspicious, untrusted site’ – crashes twice when reading John Barber’s post via F_buk!

Gog-Magog Update: Russia and Iran defence partnership

This 83rd posting in monitoring the Gog-Magog alliance, as prophesied in Ezekiel 38-39, refers to yesterday’s Jewish News Syndicate report summarised in William Koenig’s daily updates: 

Another Deut 19:15 double-act after Jesus’ conception and birth!

Further to my recent musings upon Deuteronomy 19:15 relating to ‘coincidental’ events that bring a witness to certain matters – eg during Jesus’ baptism, as examined on 1st December in Today’s scripture on The Word confirms today’s blogging – a couple more instances popped up over the weekend readings of Dr Luke’s carefully compiled record of the Good News., one of which was part of the message during a dear friend’s baptism:

First, regarding the two cousins’ mothers meeting during their pregnancy:

Mary Visits Elizabeth

39 Now Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, to a city of Judah, 40 and entered the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth. 41 And it happened, when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, that the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit42 Then she spoke out with a loud voice and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! 43 But why is this granted to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44 For indeed, as soon as the voice of your greeting sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. 45 Blessed is she who  [h]believed, for there will be a fulfillment of those things which were told her from the Lord.”

To which Mary responds in prophetic song (The Magnificat) :

“My soul [i]magnifies the Lord,
47 And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.
48 For He has regarded the lowly state of His maidservant;
For behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed.
49 For He who is mighty has done great things for me,
And holy is His name.
50 And His mercy is on those who fear Him
From generation to generation.
51 He has shown strength with His arm;
He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
52 He has put down the mighty from their thrones,
And exalted the lowly.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things,
And the rich He has sent away empty.
54 He has helped His servant Israel,
In remembrance of His mercy,
55 As He spoke to our fathers,
To Abraham and to his seed forever.”

Much later when Mary and Joseph took baby Jesus for presentation in the Temple, according to the Jewish custom, the Lord also ‘God-incidentally’ brought two witnesses :

Simeon Sees God’s Salvation

25 And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon, and this man was just and devout, waiting for the Consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. 26 And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. 27 So he came by the Spirit into the temple.  And when the parents brought in the Child Jesus, to do for Him according to the custom of the law, 28 he took Him up in his arms and blessed God and said:

29 “Lord, now You are letting Your servant depart in peace,
According to Your word;
30 For my eyes have seen Your salvation
31 Which You have prepared before the face of all peoples,
32 A light to bring revelation to the Gentiles,
And the glory of Your people Israel.”

33 [h]And Joseph and His mother marveled at those things which were spoken of Him. 34 Then Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary His mother, “Behold, this Child is destined for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which will be spoken against 35 (yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul also), that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”

Anna Bears Witness to the Redeemer

36 Now there was one, Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was of a great age, and had lived with a husband seven years from her virginity; 37 and this woman was a widow [i]of about eighty-four years, who did not depart from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.38And coming in that instant she gave thanks to [j]the Lord, and spoke of Him to all those who looked for redemption in Jerusalem.

SELAH!

Deut 19:15 God-incidence on US Two Presidents prophecy! (GPS #89)

NOW, at long last I can get around to finishing what I’d ‘kick-started’ a week ago today, 1st December, with…

Today’s scripture on The Word confirms today’s blogging!

Therein, I connect The Word in John 1:1 with the scriptural principle of two or more witnesses (Jesus and John the Baptist) as in Deuteronomy 19:15, but didn’t refer to how it is implicit in Paul’s instruction on practising the gift of prophecy in church, as in 1 Corinthians 14 ….

In fact, those delays brought a triple ‘God-incidence‘ over the day’s Comments on Trump’s Announcement of 15th November.

My planned connected posts for that blogging day went out of the window, especially with a ‘‘Stop Press’ on Jesus’ Return !  My intention was to follow up with more on the previous Thursday’s posts on Kim Clement’s 2008 prophecy of Two Presidents now being fulfilled – as implicit from a discussion between Steve Schulz and Derek Johnson, a US military veteran.

I closed that day with the call “America; Remember The Alamo!” from Veronika West, upon which my long-time blogging buddy over the ‘Pond’ Tim Shey comments:

“I love how the Holy Ghost works. Just two hours ago, I was reading this scripture:

I Samuel 17:34-36: “And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father’s sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock: And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him. Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God.”

 May we all have the faith of David before he met Goliath and killed him. Amen.”

My response:
“BRILL Tim and only 1/2 hour ago I was wondering any readers get Holy Spirit ‘God-incidents’. As it was such busy daytime getting all writing and copying done I didn’t have time to put in the previous item another one.

I’d had two tries at watching Derek and 3rd was after awoke early on Tuesday on my phone. Right after finishing I got Fbk mssg that J Barber had tagged me into an item he’d just posted – it was the very same Prophets & Patriots!”

So here’s a screenshot recording the ‘God-incidence’ of Tuesday 22.11.2022:

So, perhaps we should carefully note the content of their discussion > click here

A ‘Now Word’ and beyond for UK: Warriors of Divine Recovery – Veronika West

I’m pleased to see our sister has published the word she delivered at the conference mentioned in this blog’s birthday post (as linked below – overwrites window), especially as I’d already mentioned the ‘plumb-line’ relating to Donald Trump to someone, and which had caused a totally unexpected offense!

Richard’s Watch 11th Birthday! A HUGE thank you to my readers

Here’s that word, as published on His Kingdom Prophecy:

So, recently, I was invited to speak at a conference in Portsmouth, here in the United Kingdom, called “Breaking New Wineskins!” (18-19 November 2022)

This is the following Word that The Holy Spirit had me release (as below).

There are aspects within the following Word that I have already shared in a previous post on this platform, however, there are new prophetic insights The LORD released that I believe speak to the New Year 2023.

But the Word also speaks to the Prophetic Season where we are called to War for Divine Recovery.

Furthermore, I will share a Word at the bottom of this post that speaks to the Next 7 Year Season I believe we have entered into.

Some of you will recall the Word I have recently submitted on the “The Fat Ones are coming forth in a time of great Famine!“ entitled The Ancient Wells Are Being Uncapped.

I will also share in a few days a powerful Prophetic Word God gave me in 2016 entitled,  A Vision of Seven Fat Cows.  This Prophetic Word given in 2016, puts us right on track with a prophetic timeline for advancing into 2023 and into the future.

BREAKING NEW WINESKINS CONFERENCE, Portsmouth, UK

18th November 2022.

“Prophetically, we have moved into a time and season of even greater shakings, a time of great harvest — but a time of famine!

Yet in the midst of famine, there will be feasting, for His Righteous Remnant!

God is promising to make us fat in a time of leanness.  In the desert place, He will uncap the wells and create New Wineskins for a greater outpouring of His Spirit.

In increasing darkness, a light will rise and shine — marked people, for marked places.

God will show Himself mighty.  He will display His Glory like never before.

We have entered into the days of “show and tell”.  He will show and demonstrate His Power and Glory, and He will tell us of those things to come, so that we can be rightly aligned and positioned!

Watch, for God is raising up places of Freedom, Deliverance, and Divine Protection — marked places that will bring about Salvation, not just to one person, but to whole households and regions in the coming days.

“Fear not!  For My Seal is upon the foreheads of The Saints, and My Anointing is upon My Set-apart People, My “for-such-a-time-as-this” Ones!

Watch, for in the coming days I will make a “Divine Distinction!”  Yes!  Even as I did between the Egyptians and the children of Israel.

Look!  For set-apart lands shall rise on the earth, Goshen Lands, where My People shall dwell in safety and abundance.  No swarms of flies shall be there, no plague shall touch them.

Again I say, I will make a Divine Distinction.  I shall Shift, Sift and Separate!

Mercy, mercy, My Mercy shall make a way where there seems no way.  Mercy shall build a highway for My Chosen People.

Ha!  Get ready, for set-apart places shall be marked by a manifestation of My great Mercy, and many will run to these places of Divine Protection and Supernatural Preservation!

Watch, for what shall begin to take place in this new Seven Year Cycle, for My Governing Hand shall move suddenly and swiftly to bring stiff-necked and rebellious nations to their knees.

For a time of greater shakings shall bring forth Divine Realignment and a Reordering of Nations in The Valley of Decision,”  says The Spirit of God.

“I give you the authority to trample on serpents, and I give you authority to trample on scorpions!

Listen, for in the midst of greater Shakings and severe Judgments that shall come, I will bring vindication to My People.  I will bring Recompense, Restoration and great Reward.

Surely I will do it!  I will bring Honour and Vindication to My Saints through the release of My Judgments in The Nations of the earth in the coming days!”

Prophetically, God shows me a New Wineskin forming over The Nations over the next seven (7) years.

I see The Seven Spirits of God, the Spirit and Power of Elijah, bringing this Nation into alignment with Heaven, and as this alignment begins to take place, there will be an unlocking on the earth.

The New Wine of The Spirit is now being poured into this New Wineskin that is forming, that it may then be poured out over The Nations of the earth.

I hear The Spirit of God say,

”Watch, as My Seven Spirits move over the next Seven (7) Years, to bring a Nation(s) into a place of greater Kingdom Reformation and Transformation, that will impact and influence even the next seven (7) year cycle and seasons in the earthly realm.”

The Spirit says,  ”Watch, as I break, break, break off of this Nation(s) old structures, and even Generational Cycles that have kept this Nation going round, and round, the same mountain.

For even now, as this New Wineskin is forming and comes into sight, a new and greater move of My Spirit shall be poured out of this New Wineskin, for I shall begin to bring this Nation into the fullness of her true Kingdom Identity and Destiny.

So watch!  For I tell you, the time of crossing over from the old era and into the fullness of a New Kingdom Era is now!

I say to you, My United Kingdom — and to The Nations — come up higher and let us cross over to the other side!

I say again, watch, as I move by My Spirit to bring this Nation(s) back to its Covenant Foundations, for I shall move to deal swiftly with religious structures and institutions that have become hard and rigid, and that have rebelled and resisted a new move of My Spirit, and that have become a stumbling block to the increase and expansion of My Kingdom Purposes in this Nation!

Watch, as My Fire falls to cleanse and to purify, for I shall wipe the slate clean, and begin to rewrite the history of this great Nation.

Even now, New Blueprints shall be released to My Kingdom Builders in this hour, and they shall begin to rebuild and reform this Nation.

For surely I tell you, the Plumb-line has fallen upon this land, and the Boundary Lines shall be rearranged and the landscape shall be changed.

Yes!  For this Nation(s) shall now arise to become a New Tabernacle a new wineskin nation!

Yes!  Like a fruitful Garden, this Nation will become a resting place, a habitation for My Glory and all Nations shall be drawn to the brightness of its rising!

Now see and listen!  For the Winds of Change are now blowing forth across these four Nations, for a Nation that has long faltered between two opinions, shall no longer be a Nation caught in the land in-between, but shall now begin to move and advance forward into the place that I have long promised and prepared for them to inherit, and occupy on the earth.

For now, a New Way is forming, and a New Day is dawning over this “The United Kingdom,” among The Nations!”

I see a Plumb-line falling in the midst of The Nations.  When the weight of His Glory falls, it raises a Standard against the rising flood of destruction.

When the weight of His Glory falls, it brings Divine Alignment.  It causes the crooked places to become straight!

God says,  “My Plumb-line Prophets are rising in this hour to rebuild and to reform, and the word in their mouths, will carry the weight of My Glory upon them, that will bring Nations into Divine Alignment with My Kingdom Purposes on the earth.

Watch!  For as My Plumb-line Prophets arise, I shall raise up a righteous Standard against the kingdom of darkness on the earth!”

Blessings to you all.

What will it take to make the sleeping WAKE UP!! – Wanda Alger

My friend Chris Moyler writes this introduction in his Telegram to Wanda’s latest where she describes the strongly anti-Trump person confronting me last month:

“WANDA ALGER is a Prophet that I greatly warm to. Her gentle and affectionate, yet very steely, style is not at all hard for British folk to connect with. She had just had her first You Tube strike, so on her blog she is now summarising her weekly output, on her different channels. Rumble continues to be uncensored.

And He could do no mighty work there, except that He laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them. And He marveled because of their unbelief. (Mark 6:5-6 ESV)

Many in the mainstream Church have become stuck in unbelief, unable and unwilling to hear some painfully hard truths. For some in the Body of Christ, the Trump prophecies have become a stumbling block and offense.

Prophetic words about his role in this national crisis have become a log in their eyes, preventing them from seeing the much larger war being waged both in the heavenlies, as well as on the ground.

The fact is, this is not merely about getting a rightfully elected President back in office. This is about a global conflict that far surpasses any election cycle. Where the ‘Plandemic’ may have woken many to the depopulation plan of the globalists, there are many who are still blind to the counterfeit agendas we’ve been fed for generations. And even though it is right to pray for revival and spiritual awakening in this hour, we cannot expect any lasting effect if we do not acknowledge the evil right in front of us!

Commonsense versus clueless claims on Donald Trump re. US Constitution

Rarely do I bother glancing at Google’s newsfeed upon booting up my phone but a few days ago I spotted a stupid headline in the UK’s strongly anti-Trump Guardian along the lines of his declaring he wants the US Constitution abolished. Anyone familiar with the President’s movement to return America to its greatness knows the importance of its origins as a constitutional republic and complexities thereof, compared with our British way of government.

However, I cannot locate it now so maybe they put it where it belongs – in the bin! Then yesterday I spotted this sensible remark on Facebook by Brenda Grelock, and have her  blessing for republishing (emphases mine):

“I really hate posting political stuff but this has me so enraged so I posted. For the record I’d rather talk about Jesus.

Rolling Stones had an article stating, ‘Trump Demands America Rip Up the Constitution and make him President.’

Here is the truthFormer President Donald Trump on Monday attempted to clarify his call for suspending parts of the U.S. Constitution or the “termination” of rules and regulations to allow himself to return to the White House, after drawing rebuke from other Republicans.

Initially, Trump said on his Truth Social platform on Saturday that the role of social media companies limiting and removing misinformation and content that violated its policies in 2020 “allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.”

In his newest post, Trump indicated he didn’t say he wanted to terminate the Constitution, stating Monday that “steps must be immediately taken to RIGHT THE WRONG,” referring to what he describes as widespread fraud and deception involving “Big Tech” — of which he provided no evidence — in the 2020 election. Funny how they take a little piece of this and a little piece of that, spread lies to try to discredit President Trump. Most people know there is widespread fraud in our government and no proof has come forth yet, but God is going to put Trump back in office so get over it and stop listening to the half-truths from the media.

And if you hate Trump please keep that to yourself, I really don’t want to hear it anymore than you want me to list all the things wrong with little joe.”

So, let’s take a look at better reporting in a recent digital edition of The Telegraph: Continue reading

President Trump’s message censored by Big Media moments after release on Jan 6, 2021

WARNING, THIS FACT-BASED OPINION MAY BE TOO DISTURBING FOR SOME – HANDLE WITH CARE

Texans Jack & Dodie's avatarClever Journeys

Just five minutes after President Donald J. Trump released a video message to Americans still remaining after his January 6, 2021 rally in Washington DC, social media giants, including Twitter, pulled it off their sites.

They censored our president. See his message here:

When Trump realized Deep State operatives were behind the January 6 “insurrection” he immediately responded publically.

Their so-called “insurrection” was coordinated between Deep State operatives controlled within the federal government–likely including Nancy Pelosi, VP Mike Pence, FBI, and military–and media giants (social media and news media)

Before Elon Musk’s recent takeover of Twitter, millions of Americans did not know this video existed. Big Media buried it within 5 minutes after it was posted.

Big Media, including mainstream legacy media, along with social media sites, attacked America’s freedom of speech and began censorship and banning citizens who revealed truth or offered opinions of support for President Trump.

A baseline understanding mostly missing behind the Twitter discussion – Govt influence over Social Media and the Surveillance State

FOR THOSE WHO LIKE TO DIVE DEEP>>> ‘Sundance’ writes:

I am ONE Hour into listening to the Three-Hour broadcast that Elon Musk joined tonight {YouTube Here}, and the amount of cognitive dissonance and circular discussion is off the proverbial charts.

Elon Musk joins the “Twitter Stages” conversation at 01:03:00 of the VIDEO HERE.  Musk noted that in addition to Matt Taibbi he has given the Twitter files to Bari Weiss. However, the debate over what DC bureaucrats did -and are doing- from within the Biden administration, to censor speech, take down social media content and stop information adverse to their political interests, is a futile conversation without the full understanding of the current U.S. surveillance state.

Some of the stage participants on the call with Mr. Musk have self-identified as targeted by the intelligence community, some are under active and ongoing investigation, yet they do not seem to have an understanding of what this U.S. social media surveillance system is.

We cannot fight our way through the issues until we first realize what lies at the root of the problem.

Censorship by Surrogate: Why Musk’s document dump could be a game-changer — Prof. Jonathan Turley

Below is my column in The Hill on the recent disclosures in the “Twitter Files” on the coordination of censorship between the company and both Biden and Democratic party operatives. Beyond personally attacking Elon Musk and Matt Taibbi, many have resorted to the same old saw of censorship apologists: it is not censorship if the…

Censorship by Surrogate: Why Musk’s Document Dump Could be a Game Changer — JONATHAN TURLEY

 

Another excellent analysis from professor of law Jonathan Turley. He concludes in his article in The Hill.:

‘..The implications of these documents becomes more serious once the Biden campaign became the Biden administration. These documents show a back channel existed with President Biden’s campaign officials, but those same back channels appear to have continued to be used by Biden administration officials. If so, that would be when Twitter may have gone from a campaign ally to a surrogate for state censorship. As I have previously written, the administration cannot censor critics and cannot use agents for that purpose under the First Amendment.

That is precisely what Musk is now alleging. As the documents were being released, he tweeted, “Twitter acting by itself to suppress free-speech is not a 1st amendment violation, but acting under orders from the government to suppress free-speech, with no judicial review, is.” [Emphasis RB]

The incoming Republican House majority has pledged to investigate — and Musk has made that process far easier by making good on his pledge of full transparency.

Washington has fully mobilized in its all-out war against Musk. Yet, with a record number of users signing up with Twitter, it seems clear the public is not buying censorship. They want more, not less, free speech.

That may be why political figures such as Hillary Clinton have enlisted foreign governments to compel the censoring of fellow citizens: If Twitter can’t be counted on to censor, perhaps the European Union will be the ideal surrogate to rid social media of these meddlesome posters.

The release of these documents has produced a level of exposure rarely seen in Washington, where such matters usually are simply “handled.” The political and media establishments generally are unstoppable forces — but they may have met their first immovable object in Musk.’

Today’s scripture on The Word confirms today’s blogging!

Upon waking early I gave my full blogging day to the Lord. Many possible items have got delayed and not started – but sometimes the Lord ‘coincidentally’ interrupts, as yesterday to reveal a ‘trilogy’ upon what I’d been musing (See GPS#88). With such ‘divine endorsement’, I was contemplating posting more examples of ‘two witnesses’ principle, but on a couple of highly contentious topics – ones about which I had been ridiculed, slandered and given the badge of honour of being ‘dangerous’! (That is, ‘on target’.)  Updates on those issues had turned up like pieces in the Lord’s invisible jigsaw puzzle.

After such brief thoughts I checked today’s verse, shown above. Quite appropriate, so I thought, but then upon opening for the full chapter and changing to my preferred NKJV guess what I spotted – ANOTHER confirmation about ‘witness’, viz:


NB: had I gone straight into the automatic NIV link it gives a different sub-head: ‘John the Baptist denies being the Messiah’ !! and I wouldn’t have noticed!!

Now let’s remind ourselves of Deuteronomy 19 on how to validate of any matter.

So nearly 2,000 years ago by the river Jordan stood TWO witnesses: John the Baptist and his cousin Jesus. And FROM heaven were another TWO witnesses:  the ‘dove’ of the Holy Spirit landing upon Jesus PLUS God the Father’s voice as  John baptised him in the water. (John 1:29-34, Luke 3:21-22 BibleGateway) That is, four persons, which is one more than ordained for establishing the facts of the matter.

So after breakfast I checked further and in my Bible found a most relevant Word Study on John 1:5 ‘comprehend’ [note ‘a’ – or overcome] says ‘darkness is unreceptive and does not understand it’ – similar to what I’ve encountered.

With all that very helpful assurance I can now tackle those ‘God-incidental’ items in my pipeline…
