Taking Power from Washington | Curtis Bowers Published Monday, October 2, 2023 JOIN US! AT THE HISTORY CENTER THIS WEDNESDAY BATTLING THE ELITES AWARD-WINNING FILM-MAKER AGENDA: GRINDING DOWN of AMERICA A SPEAKER YOU MUST HEAR! In 2007, Curtis Bowers was appointed by the Governor of Idaho to fill a vacancy in the Idaho House of Representatives. He left the legislature to pursue his passion for a wider influence on the American culture. Three years later, his film, Agenda: Grinding America Down won the $101,000 grand prize at the San Antonio Film Festival. He followed this up with his second film six years later, titled, Agenda 2: Masters of Deceit. His national newsletter and video is published weekly and impacts the nation. Last week, at the anniversary of 911, he spoke of the vital issues which surround that event and noted the recent comments of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. exposing the nefarious nature of his own party. Kennedy is seeking the nomination of the Democrat Party for President of the United States. The Kennedy name, once the showcase of the Democrat Party, is now led by a Kennedy they despise. Kennedy’s popularity with grassroots conservatives is an interesting nuance in American politics. The Democrats represent the far left political elite. The left has no intention of relinquishing their power in Washington and seek to make it totalitarian and permanent. Curtis Bowers is one of the leading voices for the Christian evangelical right and the need to be active in the civic affairs of our communities and our nation.

TABLE of CONTENTS BOB LINN Reclaiming the Soul of America  LAST WEEK Praying Coach Joe Kennedy | Roman Buhler KEEP9 FAREWELL TO JIM GRIGSBY State Board of Education MARK YOUR CALENDAR State Board of Education October 26, 2023 Meeting BOB LINN Reclaiming the Soul of America Last week, we heard a seasoned Washington insider deliver a convincing argument for protecting the separation of powers and for beginning the movement to take power out of Washington, D.C. and return it to the states. This Wednesday, Curtis Bowers will follow up on this theme as he talks about the elitist’s successful grab for power by virtue of having captured the minds and hearts of the American people through media and education. Our schools have failed broadly. The failure is more than the current academic debacle from higher education to kindergarten. Our schools have failed to be “American.” Said in another way, they have failed to be overtly Christian. There are two books which have moved nations more than any other: the Bible and the Communist Manifesto. The Bible is the ideological text of Western Civilization and the scientific revolution. The Bible was also the founding text of American government. America’s freedom is based in its Christian theology. For the past few generations, that life-giving ideological well has been replaced. Mythology has invaded academia in the form of secularism, humanism, and atheism. To execute the expansive evisceration of religion of all kinds from public life is a surreptitious move to reduce the identity of the nation to only one religion: radical atheism. The silence of the American pulpit combined with the loud voice of economic and political elitists have stolen the American soul. We are in the midst of a revolution of the American mind. It is as the Italian intellectual leader, Augusto Del Noce said that, starting with Rousseau and Marx: Total revolution implies the replacement of religion by politics as the source of man’s liberation, since evil is a consequence of society … and not of an original sin. As varied as revolutionary forms can be, their common feature is, in this sense, the correlation between the elevation of politics to religion and the negation of the supernatural. The promotion of gender fantasies we are witnessing in America today is the move to a fluid and undefined humanity which transforms itself at will because of its having been untethered from the solid reality of the transcendent from which we came. It is, in the end, a move from Christianity to gnostic nihilism. In his book, Character of Nations, Angelo Codevilla writes: Fyodor Dostoevsky and Nikolai Berdayev had forseen it: The socialist movement would forcibly banish God from the Russian soul and would fill Russia with nihilists. Quoting again from Del Noce: Revolution means replacing meta-physics with meta-humanity, in which mankind will acquire those powers that it already possesses potentially, but from which it alienated itself during the development of history, projecting them outside of itself in creating God. Hence, the idea of revolution as complete transformation implies negation of every dependence, i.e., radical atheism, and also the negation of an unchanging human essence (and thus of eternal truths "worth" handing down) and of an unchanging "common sense." Secularism, humanism, and atheism are the ingredients for centralized governments which enrich the few and impoverish the many. The myth of a secular society grew roots through the book Karl Marx wrote (The Communist Manifesto) and proved, through the laboratory of national life, to be deadly to hundreds of millions of people. Lenin’s Stalin, Mao, and many more demonstrated in the 220th century that with a godless government comes a heartless government. The democide of atheism has claimed the lives of an estimated 262 million people who have been killed by their own government. The soul of America has been solen and hidden from the coming generations. Until that soul is returned, we have no more hope than to those living under the atheistic tyranny of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Dr Byron Sunderland, Chaplain of the United States Senate, wrote of the American identity: This is a Christian nation, first in name, and secondly of the many and mighty elements of a pure Christianity which have given it character and shaped its destiny form the beginning. It is pre-eminently the land of the Bible, of the Christian Church, and of the Christian Sabbath. It is the land of great and extensive and oft-repeated revivals of a spiritual religion, - the land of a free conscience and of free speech, - the land of noble charities and of manifold and earnest efforts for the elevation and welfare of the human race. The chief security and glory of the United States of America has been, is now, and will be forever, the prevalence and domination of the Christian Faith. ~Christian Life & Character of the Civil and Institutions of the United States Benjamin Franklin Morris. In his History of Christianity in the United States and Canada, author Mark Noll writes: Puritans believed that God created society as a unified whole. Church and state, the individual and the public, are not unrelated spheres of life but are complimentary, intimately connected by God’s act of creation and his continuing providence. American education has been dumbed down. The dumbing is more than scholastic dumbing. It is a dumbing in the realm of presuppositions, epistemology, and history. America has been robbed not only of its mind, but of its heart and soul as well. Only a new crop of Puritans and men like Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and a host of other founders grounded in Christendom will restore our once great and free land. National restoration will come only through Christ, just as it did for them. We are in desperate need of returning our nation and our state to Biblical foundations.
