Sunday afternoon at 1:00 p.m., Dr. Ben Carson posted this on X regarding President Trump’s nomination of Kash Patel to head the FBI:
Congratulations to my good friend, Kash Patel, on his nomination to run the FBI. Kash will ensure the Bureau is free of political influence and will refocus it to its true mission of protecting the American people and upholding the U.S. Constitution. Kash’s dedication to seeking truth and justice is unparalleled and I look forward to his swift confirmation. Good luck, Kash!
Patel is an Indian-American lawyer who, in his capacity as a staffer to California Congressman Devin Nunes, uncovered the weaponization of federal law enforcement against President Donald Trump during and after his 2016 presidential campaign. Thanks in no small measure to Nunes and Patel’s efforts, it was revealed that the FBI used a verifiably false opposition research “dossier” paid for by the Hilary Clinton Campaign, which alleged that President Trump had ties to Russia, as an excuse to spy on Trump and his entire campaign. I have previously described what Kash Patel uncovered:
The deep state began it war on Donald Trump the day he came down the escalator at Trump Tower in 2015, immediately launching a combined CIA-FBI operation against him, the CIA part of which ran a hack named Stephan Halper at George Popodopoulis, a low-level Trump volunteer, and the FBI part was based upon an absurd ‘dossier’ paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign that was used to fraudulently obtain a FISA warrant on another low-level Trump volunteer, Carter Page, and thereby keep Trump under surveillance. The deep state, the CIA and FBI, used these lies—which they fully and completely knew were lies, they were never for one instant fooled—to keep Trump under surveillance until about six months into his presidency, and under special counsel investigation for a further two years.
Carson is acutely aware of the problem of weaponized federal law enforcement machinery, especially the Department of Justice and its investigative arm, the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The last four years have seen the unprecedented use of federal law enforcement by the ruling party for its own ends and purposes, much as was seen in Soviet Russia and Nazi Germany. There is no pretense of neutrality; it is simply taken for granted that the DOJ and FBI will be used to imprison and/or financially destroy the opponents of the regime.
In a separate X post on November 25th made in response to the dismissal of the federal criminal charges against President Trump, Carson had said this:
While I am pleased each time I see one of President Trump’s cases dismissed, I can’t help but reflect on the dark stain these last few years have left on our nation’s reputation and integrity. The lawfare, lies, deception, and collusion have caused irreparable damage to many of our institutions. It’s perhaps the greatest act of desperation in the history of American politics, yet it was soundly rejected by We the People. I pray the American people will remember this when the left inevitably tries it again and that we ALWAYS choose liberty over tyranny. God bless.
That the ruling Marxist junta had irrevocably set out to destroy the American republic was obvious from the lawless raid on President Trump’s Florida residence, Mar-a-Lago, in August, 2022. As I presciently pointed out at the time, it was clear that this would not stop with a harassing raid on Trump’s personal residence, but that the DOJ would go ahead and file criminal charges against the president:
This is bad news, but even worse news is to come. This raid was not really about documents the government contends should be in some D.C. vault rather than Mar-a-Lago. No, the raid was a fishing expedition. The criminal cabal running the government is hoping to find something in the scores of boxes they indiscriminately hauled out of President Trump’s home that they can use to prosecute him for a crime to be invented later.
These people fully intend to have a Washington D.C. grand jury indict Trump for some “crime” related to January 6—the gist of which will be that it was criminal for Trump to have complained so loudly about having the election blatantly stolen from him—and try him before a Washington D.C. petit jury where 97% of the jury pool are committed Democrats and a Republican of any stature, not to mention the hated Donald Trump, has absolutely no chance whatsoever of impaneling a fair and impartial jury.
I do not believe that the damage inflicted on the American republic by the “beast from the abyss” can be repaired. Certainly, if the coming Trump Administration does not turn the tables on Trump’s tormentors, and investigate and prosecute them, they will learn no lessons, and the Stalinist/Nazi-like abuse of the federal government’s almost invincible prosecutorial powers will resume the next time the Marxists have power. So the only hope of stopping this type of abuse is to make certain that the “Democrats” are made to drink a full, undiluted cup of it.
But I don’t think even that will work. You do not do criminalize politics unless you have finally and irrevocably rejected Americanism, the constitution, and every norm and political tradition in this country. Once you’ve murdered these ideals, as the “Democrats” (really, revolutionary Leftists) have done, they cannot ever be resuscitated, regardless of the consequences of their death (as I pointed out in this piece).
One thing that should be obvious to Seventh-day Adventists is that we are still in Revelation 11:7, still dealing with the “beast from the abyss,” which is how Scripture describes revolutionary Leftism, and still in the first part of Daniel 11:40. I do not see this changing at any time in the foreseeable future.
“And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.” Revelation 11:7
“And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him . . .” Daniel 11:40
