NATIONAL SECURITY

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE

SOUTHERN BORDER

THIS WEDNESDAY

A couple of weeks ago, New York City's Mayor, Eric Adams (D) announced that the roughly 40,000 illegal immigrants who arrived in 2022 have overwhelmed the city's capacity.

Mayor Adams can thank the governors of southern states who have decided that the burdens within the U.S. created by Biden's lack of enforcement of border security should be shared by their friends up north as well.

Last week, Texas Attorney General, Ken Paxton, sued the Biden administration due to the incompetence of the President and Homeland Security Secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas. The lawsuit states that their open borders policy enacts "a new agency rule that effectively nullifies federal law."

THE BORDER UNDER TRUMP

THE BORDER UNDER BIDEN

Our speaker was the top government official over border security under both Trump and Biden. He comes to OCPAC this week to reveal the truth of what life is like on the Mexican border.

Rodney will discuss the impact of both

Trump and Biden on border security

Chief Scott served as Chief of United State Border Patrol in both the Trump and Biden administrations where he led over 21,000 personnel and was responsible for securing the vast international borders of the U.S. between the official ports of entry.

Rodney retired August 14th, 2021, with over twenty-nine years of experience in federal law enforcement and international border security. Twenty-four of those years were in progressive leadership positions in five different Presidential administrations and with nine years in the Senior Executive Service.

The Identity of A Nation

BOB LINN

The Identity of A Nation

With hundreds of thousands of illegals crossing into the U.S. from the Mexican border, it is interesting that Democrats find the singular presence of Brazil’s former President in Florida so disturbing.

Two U.S. Congressional members, Joaquin Castro (D-Texas) and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortex (D-New York), have called for the extradition of Jair Belisario to Brazil.

We are a nation without clarity of vision.

At issue is our national identity.

Whether or not we defend our national borders and who is allowed entry rests upon our national identity.

When Italian intellectual, Marcello Pera, wrote his book, Why We Should All Call Ourselves Christians, he stated this:

Certainly, the term ‘identity’ has a moral connotation. It is like ‘nation’, which was defined by Ernest Renan as ‘a soul, a spiritual principle.’ Sharing an identity with others means sharing with them the same ideal sense of belonging. It means feeling the ties of familiarity, solidarity, destiny, obligation, and most especially, love and respect for one’s own history, tradition, and land. Identity means identifying one’s self but also distinguishing oneself.

China’s Cultural Revolution has taken seed in America and removed from public sight the soul of America’s origins and covered it with the shroud of secularity. The evisceration of Christianity from the education of America’s youth has brought us to the brink of a collapse of our spiritual, moral, and cultural identity.

In 1983, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn delivered his Templeton Award Lecture in Guildhall in London. It is one of the major literary prizes in the world eclipsing the Nobel Prize in its financial award.

Solzhenitsyn noted the great Russian novelist, Dostoevsky. He said:

It was Dostoevsky, once again, who drew from the French Revolution and its seething hatred of the Church the lesson that ‘revolution must begin with Atheism.’

That is absolutely true.

But the world has never before known a godlessness as organized, militarized, and tenaciously malevolent as that practiced by Marxism.

Within the philosophical system of Marx and Lenin, and at the heart of their psychology, hatred of God is the principle driving force, more fundamental than all their political and economic pretensions. Militant atheism is not merely incidental or marginal to Communist policy; it is not a side effect, but the central pivot.

To achieve its diabolical ends, Communism needs to control a population devoid of religious and national feeling, and this entails the destruction of faith and nationhood.”

Find the complete speech at the Templeton Prize website here.

The thought leader of the communist revolutions of the 20th century in Russia, China, Cuba and elsewhere was Karl Marx. It is well established but not well known that the literary hero of Karl Marx was Goethe’s Mephistopheles, Satan’s emissary, who grants the novel’s protagonist, Faust, a limited number of years of earthly powers in exchange for his eternal soul.

So taken with Mephistopheles was Marx that he memorized entire sections of his lines from Goethe’s novel. In his book, The Devil and Karl Marx, Dr. Paul Kengor states of Marx that “Goethe’s Faust was his Bible.”

Marx favorite Mephistopheles line was “Everything that exists deserves to perish.”

It would have made an appropriate moniker for his tombstone. The tens of millions of men, women, and children who, in the 20th century, were tortured, raped, dismembered, and murdered by their Marxist leaders are a testimony to the evil of the fundamental essence of the cultural revolution sweeping Americas elementary schools, high schools, and universities.

Without a public Christian

consciousness, we have lost our moorings.

In his book, Idols for Destruction, Herbert Schlossberg notes:

When asked about Chesterton’s famous remark that the United States was a nation with the soul of a church, Alistair Cooke replied: “That is true, but it also has the soul of a whorehouse.” 

Michael Walsh pulled no punches in his book, The Devil's Pleasure Palace. After quoting a section of Marx who eviscerates Christianity with great passion, Walsh states, “These are the ravings of a dangerous idiot.”

Not wanting to miss any connections with what is facing the American landscape today, he continues:

At root, and as with any criminal organization, the primary goal of the Frankfurt School and its Critical Theory adherents, was the attainment and retention of power in order to amass wealth.

Such is the nature of the forces which have invaded the American classroom for more than a generation. It is quite certain we are facing the enemy of our children. This secularism demands a response. We must all play our part in standing our ground against those forces who want Christianity out of the public marketplace of ideas and culture.

Earlier, I quoted from chapter two of Marcello Pero's book. He went on to state that, for Europe, the solution was a return to their Christian moorings. He said:

Following the Second World War, the European Community was made up of only six countries. Christianity was their soul of reference. On March 19, 1958, addressing the first European Parliament, Robert Schuman, architect and driving force of the first Community, stated, "All the countries of Europe are permeated by Christian civilization. It is the soul of Europe which must be restored to it."

De Gasperi echoed such sentiments when he asked, "How can we conceive of Europe without Christianity?"

Adenauer wrote, "We considered the unification of Europe as the goal of our foreign policy because it was the only way possible to affirm and safeguard our Western, Christian civilization against the fury of totalitarianism.”

Oklahoma can lead the way to a restoration of the heart and soul of America by articulating the foundational issues of our culture without flinching before the secularists.

We must stand against the insurgents who have infiltrated our Christian nation. These enemies of Christian civilization are bent on reproducing in our generation what Lenin, Stalin, Castro, Mao and a host of others have done on other continents as they have turned government into the criminal organizations of which Michael Walsh just spoke.

In the end, we have to come to grips with the ultimate issues of a people, a society, and a nation. 

Our founders were confessing Christians who crafted our founding documents that yielded life, liberty, and the opportunity for all men to pursue happiness on the earth.

“The highest glory of the American Revolution was this, it connected in one indissoluble bond, principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity.”

~John Quincy Adams.

Do borders and immigration policy matter? Only in defining our heart and soul will we know the answer.

Come and join the movement this Wednesday as we seek to make Oklahoma the spiritual and cultural leader in solving the problems facing the nation.

A few thousand of you read this newsletter each week. I would challenge you to connect with us through our meetings, or through communicating by email and begin the process of getting involved in bolstering the Christian cultural foundations of Oklahoma that we may cast a light on our nation, the last bastion of freedom in the world.

Christianity is the very foundation of human thought.

It is the foundation of free & prosperous societies.

We are in desperate need of returning

our nation and our state to Biblical foundations.

Thank you for your activism.
