The Government’s War On Life Gains Momentum

July 13, 2024 Frontpage No Comments

By CHRISTOPHER MANION

“Avoid anti-abortion centers – they mislead you about your options if you’re pregnant.” This slogan appears on highway billboards, buses, and other public facilities in the state of Massachusetts. These taxpayer-funded attacks on pregnancy centers encourage women to “avoid” pro-life organizations.

What to do instead? “Get care you can trust.” And whom can you trust? The Massachusetts State government, of course.

The billboards went up across the state in June according to several on-site reports. The taxpayer-funded attacks also appear on every form of social media imaginable, and they are eerily reminiscent of the hundreds of attacks on Catholic churches, shrines, and, of course, pregnancy centers. The attacks were fomented by the Left after the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision was leaked by a renegade liberal clerk at the Supreme Court two years ago.

Those were the days in which Biden Attorney General Merrick Congress, in sworn testimony before Congress, defended the mass demonstrations before the private homes of Supreme Court justices. Those threatening mobs included one heavily armed assailant whose sister miraculously convinced him to turn himself in at one o’clock in the morning as he stood in the dark a block from the residence of Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Instead of attacking the lightly guarded family home, Nicholas John Roske called 911. It was that close.

When asked why the Justice Department was so aggressive in its arrests of pro-life demonstrators, while ignoring the countless attacks on Christian, Catholic, and pro-life locations, Garland flippantly dismissed the criticism. Most of those attacks occurred “after dark,” he said, which apparently bestowed a “Get Out Of Jail Free” card on the criminals.

After all, our federal law enforcers must have a good night’s sleep in order the better to spy on Catholic chapels in my neighborhood during the daytime.

The River Of Crime Runs Wide And Deep

And that’s not all. There are troubling parallels throughout Biden’s Deep State. Last September, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced that he was forming a “Homeland Intelligence Experts Group,” an illegal confab of anti-Trumpers formed “to provide advice and perspectives on intelligence and national security efforts.”

The members of that elite cabal include the dregs of the rotten national security state spawned by Dick Cheney’s Patriot Act, which didn’t catch any terrorists but was pretty good at getting the government to spy illegally on Americans. The group included “John Brennan and James Clapper… two of the leaders in the ‘Letter of 51’ who used their ‘intelligence credentials’ to mislead the American public on the veracity of the Hunter Biden laptop story ahead of the 2020 election,” writes America First Legal, the group that successfully filed suit against Mayorkas to shut the group down.

Yes, that’s the same Alejandro Mayorkas who was impeached by the U.S. House of Representatives this past February. “The evidence is clear,” wrote House Committee on Homeland Security Chairman Mark Green, MD (R-TN).

“Secretary Mayorkas should be tried by the Senate for high crimes and misdemeanors. Specifically, the House found that he willfully and systemically refused to comply with the laws passed by Congress, and breached the public trust… The Senate has a responsibility to conduct a full trial, hear the evidence, and render a verdict. Refusing to do so would mark the first time the Senate has refused to hold an impeachment trial when it had the opportunity to do so. Such unprecedented action would be a tacit approval of Secretary Mayorkas’ assault on our constitutional order, and an affront to the millions of Americans suffering under this sanctioned crisis. I look forward to the trial.

But there was no trial. Defying its constitutional duty, the Democrat Senate, led by Chuck Schumer, refused to try Mayorkas and buried the case instead.

As for those “crimes and misdemeanors” committed by Joe Biden and his enablers in the Deep State, their number is legion. For instance, among the “Experts Group” documents released to America First Legal under court order was a DHS document stating that, “If you ask researchers to dive into indicators of extremists and terrorism, they might indicate being in the military or religious. This being identified as an indicator suggests that we should be more worried about this,” the document continued. “We need the space to talk about it honestly.”

Space? Honestly?

How can you expect honesty when the U.S. Department of Homeland Security claims that America’s “Domestic Terrorism threat” mostly comes from Trump supporters, members of the military, and “religious people”?     

Get Ready

We note that these efforts are all coming from unelected, and usually career members of the various bureaucracies in the military and civilian governments. These people will not disappear, even in the event of a sweeping MAGA victory in November. Like the bureaucrats behind Obama’s notorious and unconstitutional HHS contraception mandate, they will continue to harass law abiding Catholics and propagandize future generations in government schools and their allied unions, who constitute the strongest and most reliable left-wing financial an ideological powerhouse in the country. 

But there is another dimension to the massive effort aiming to annihilate the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God on which our Republic stands.

The American Left is on the ropes. Their usually obedient voter blocs are coming unglued. If criminals in high places can defy the law, why can’t the radicals take to the streets? Why can’t faceless government agencies bus illegals to vote in the Blue Cities in swing states like Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Wisconsin? Even blatant crimes committed in the next four months will not be dealt with until after the election, if at all – remember Black Lives Matter?

The Left causes chaos because the Left thrives in chaotic times. A few properly organized false flag operations can give “the authorities” all the “evidence” they need to lock down every “terror group” they care to identify.

Remember, Joe Biden’s “Silver Bullet” issue is abortion. And they are firing with every cylinder. At whom? Us. That’s right. And they’ve identified us already. They know where we live. Are we ready?

This week at the Synod on Synodality — revolution or much ado about nothing?
