Brandon Smith — South Africa is Harbinger for America

“When this happens in USA its a peaceful protest. When it happens in any another country its RIOTS….”

Like moths, Communists have shredded the Western social fabric. Is the blanket about to turn to dust?
Brandon Smith – “It is also only a matter of time before a covid variant (like the Delta variant) is used as an excuse to bring back lockdowns across the country. And make no mistake, they will attempt harsher and harsher mandates similar to those in South Africa in order to intimidate people into submitting to the jab and the passports. At this stage, the US government will have not only mass riots on their hands, but also an armed rebellion. Undoubtedly, supply chains will crash if they have not already been disrupted by lockdowns or a related financial crisis.”

“South Africa is a warning to Americans: Do not get too comfortable. Do not get complacent. Be ready for the next shoe to drop. Prepare accordingly, and understand that a fight is coming.”

America Is Only One Step Away From A South African-Style Social Implosion
by Brandon Smith 
(excerpts by henrymakow.com)

The South African government’s response to covid is brutal and ongoing.
 The lockdowns are some of the most strict in the world with curfews, zero gatherings indoors or outdoors, alcohol bans and restrictions on travel through certain areas. A large majority of the population has been blocked from participation in the normal economy. The public has been awaiting economic relief for over a year, but the hype and fear mongering around the “Delta variant” has dashed all hope. Lockdowns returned in full force in June.

There is NO EVIDENCE that the Delta Variant is as deadly or more deadly than the original iteration of covid, and covid’s overall IFR (Infection Fatality Rate) is a paltry 0.26% according to the CDC and other independent studies. Meaning, draconian lockdowns are still being implemented over a virus that 99.74% of people will easily survive.

Riots in Johannesburg and elsewhere erupted, with over 200 dead and billions in property damage and theft. In this case, it is hard to outright condemn the looting because the government continues to block citizens from earning a living in the name of stopping covid.

This is on top of South Africa’s already high poverty level and the fact that, unlike the US with its world reserve currency, South Africa does not have the same ability to print stimulus checks from thin air to placate the masses and hide the damage.

Not surprisingly the ANC refuses to acknowledge that the primary cause of the riots has been their own lockdown policies. Instead, they have blamed the the crisis on the arrest of former president Jacob Zuma for contempt of court charges as the trigger. This may have added gasoline to the fire, but it was not the cause. When the government is actively sabotaging the ability of millions of people to work and feed their families the only other option left for most is theft, or revolution.

Supply chains in the country have been completely disrupted and the only retail outlets with stock are those protected by the military or those protected by business owners armed with guns and baseball bats. Only 6% of the population is allowed to own firearms under South Africa’s gun control bureaucracy and red tape. The government has a near monopoly on force and it is unlikely that the mobs will change much in terms of policy, but they do make life hell for the rest of the population.

The civil unrest in this region is, in my opinion, a preview of what is to come in the US and other western nations. We have already seen riots in France, Italy and other parts of the western world over legislation that would make the experimental mRNA vaccines mandatory through vaccine passports. I would point out that the liberty media has warned OVER AND OVER that governments would try to enforce vaccine passports and make vaccines mandatory. We were called “conspiracy theorists” for this; now we are proven right once again.

Covid laws will lead to unrest in the US, just as they have led to unrest in South Africa. The Biden Administration continues to push for total vaccination of Americans despite all science running contrary to his initiatives and claims. As I outlined in my article ‘Biden’s Vaccine Strike Force Plan Stinks Of Desperation’, the facts on covid do not support vaccine mandates or passports, and this is why around half the US population continues to defy the restrictions and refuses to take the jab. The only reason why medical tyranny has been beaten back in the US is because around 50% of US households are armed. We are not yet South Africa because of our gun rights, so be thankful for the millions of gun owners out there creating a deterrent to tyranny.

The goals of the establishment will remain, however. They are going to continue to ignore the fact that Covid’s death rate is a mere 0.26% of those with confirmed infections. They are going to continue to ignore the fact that natural immunity is a part of herd immunity. They are going to continue to ignore the fact that covid infections and deaths dropped off a cliff in January of 2021 well before the vaccines were rolled out in the US. And, they are going to continue to ignore the fact that the experimental mRNA vaccines have no long term testing to prove they are safe for humans.

The science is unimportant to them. Covid is only a tool for gaining control. They do not care about public safety in the slightest.

ECONOMIC DECLINE & THE DARK CLOUD OF INFLATION

There are some differences between the US and South Africa in terms of motivations and economy, but the gap is not as wide and some might think. The US is exhibiting similar signs of decline in terms of poverty, small business closures and inflation.

South Africa’s unemployment rate and poverty rate appears much higher, but the US has the ability to hide real poverty through temporary stimulus measures, welfare programs and eviction moratoriums. When the covid checks run out and evictions return, we are going to see a massive spike in poverty levels in the US once again. Furthermore, core price inflation has hit 30 year highs due to trillions in money printing and dollar devaluation, along with struggling supply chains. For now, increased demand created by covid checks is giving the illusion that the economy is in recovery, but just as home sales are now plunging after a short term spike, so too will demand in most sectors of the economy.

This does not mean that prices will fall with demand, however. For example, lumber prices are in decline as demand lessens, but after rising by 300% in some areas they have a long way to go and will probably never go back to their pre-pandemic levels. We are now seeing the same dynamic happening in housing sales vs. house prices. When demand is falling but price inflation continues to rise or remains high, this is a sign of a stagflationary crisis. And if this is the case, then the US economy will falter dramatically in the coming months, leading to poverty levels similar to South Africa. Money printing is a temporary fix that leads to longer term disasters.

It is also only a matter of time before a covid variant (like the Delta variant) is used as an excuse to bring back lockdowns across the country. And make no mistake, they will attempt harsher and harsher mandates similar to those in South Africa in order to intimidate people into submitting to the jab and the passports. At this stage, the US government will have not only mass riots on their hands, but also an armed rebellion. Undoubtedly, supply chains will crash if they have not already been disrupted by lockdowns or a related financial crisis.

The question at that point will be this: Who will rebuild? If it’s the elites and the covid cult, then freedom will disappear forever. If it’s liberty minded people, then there might be a chance to bring our civilization back from the brink. Everything depends on who is left standing after the chaos subsides.

South Africa is a warning to Americans: Do not get too comfortable. Do not get complacent. Be ready for the next shoe to drop. Prepare accordingly, and understand that a fight is coming.

The establishment will place its bets that the unrest and economic disaster will create manufactured consent. They believe that the public will be sufficiently desperate and will beg for totalitarianism as a solution. Do not find yourself among the desperate, and if you can, organize your community to weather the storm.

Finally, always remember who the people are that caused this mess in the first place. Rioters and looters are going to be a problem, but they are not the true enemy. The people behind the curtain need to be dealt with if we are ever going to find peace again.

California is Controlled by Four Crime Families

pelosi-congress.jpg

(Left, Nancy Pelosi)

The government of the State of California 
has been in control of four connected families 
since 1958 except for the eight years that 
Ronald Reagan was governor (1967-1975.) 
The current governor Gavin Newsom is the son of 
Ron Pelosi the brother of Nancy Pelosi’s husband. 
His parents were divorced and he adopted his mother’s 
maiden name as his family name.

The four families of Pat Brown, William Newsom II, John Pelosi, and J. Paul Getty have dominated California politics for over sixty years. Kamala Harris, Maxine Waters, Adam Schiff, and Dianne Feinstein are all sponsored and closely connected with these families. At the present time the state of California is operating with a two trillion dollar debt. It has the highest tax rate in the country.

The story starts with the election of Pat Brown as governor of California in 1959. 

He was sponsored by a wealthy man named William Newsom II. Governor Pat Brown awarded the contract to operate the Squaw Valley Resorts to William Newsom III and his partner John Pelosi. The state of California paid all of the cost to establish these resorts and received no income from the operations. 

This was an issue in the election of Ronald Reagan as governor in 1966. When Ronald Reagan’s two terms were completed, Pat Brown’s son Jerry Brown ran and won the governorship in 1974.
His closest friend was William Newsom III who became wealthy from the Squaw Valley Concessions. Jerry was going to school to become a Jesuit Priest before he entered politics. 

John Pelosi had a son who was named Paul. Paul married Nancy D’Alessandro from Baltimore. Nancy’s father was Thomas D’Alesandro Jr. who served as Mayor of Baltimore and Congressman from that district. 

Nancy’s brother also served as Mayor of Baltimore. Nancy Pelosi became a resident of California to be with her husband. 

John Pelosi’s son Ron married William Newsom II’s daughter Barbara.

They divorced and their son Gavin went to live with J. Paul Getty’s family. At the time J. Paul Getty was reported to be the richest man in the world. 

Governor Jerry Brown appointed William Newsom III to a judgeship and later to the Court of Appeals. When J. Paul Getty died, Judge Newsom helped Getty’s son Gordon Getty to gain control of his father’s estate by his interpretation of a state trust law in 1988. 

William Newsom III resigned his position on the Court of Appeals and became the administrator of the Getty Trust. William Newsom III is the uncle of the current governor Gavin Newsom. Uncle William financed his campaign.
The four families of Pat Brown, William Newsom II, John Pelosi, and J. Paul Getty have dominated California politics for over sixty years. Kamala Harris, Maxine Waters, Adam Schiff, and Dianne Feinstein are all sponsored and closely connected with these families. At the present time the state of California is operating with a two trillion dollar debt. It has the highest tax rate in the country.

NANCY PELOSI

Nancy Pelosi’s mother was born in South Italy and her father was of strong Italian ancestry. Nancy was born in 1940 and today she is 81 years old. Nancy married Paul Pelosi in 1963. He also was born in 1940. She and Paul have 5 children and nine grandchildren. All five of their children were born in a six year period. 

Just after Nancy’s marriage to Paul Pelosi she began to work in the Democratic Party in California. She worked her way up the political ladder until she was the head of the California Democratic Party. 

Phillip Burton was the Congressman for the district that included most of the city of San Francisco. He died in 1983. His wife Sala succeeded him in Congress. Sala became ill with cancer in 1986 and designated Nancy Pelosi to succeed her. Sala died in office in 1987 and Nancy Pelosi won the special election to become a member of Congress. She represents the safest district in Congress. Only 13 percent of the registered voters are Republican. In her closest election she won 80.9 percent of the general election vote. Since she needs very little money for her campaigns she contributes highly to other candidates in Congress and this helps to maintain her popularity with the other Congress members.
pelosi-school.jpgNancy D’Alessandro graduated from an all-girls Catholic high school in Baltimore. She was born when her father was a Congressman. She graduated from Trinity College in Washington, D. C. with a degree in political science. She attended John Kennedy’s Inaugural in 1961. She was an intern for a Senator after she completed college.

In 2001 Nancy was elected to be the House Minority Whip which was second in line to Minority Leader Dick Gephardt. She was the first woman to hold this post. 

In 2002, Gephardt resigned his position to run for president. Nancy Pelosi was elected to replace him as Minority Leader. She was the first woman to lead a major party in Congress. In the election of 2006 the Democrats gained control of the House of Representatives and Nancy Pelosi was elected as Speaker of the House. Nancy was the first woman to hold this position. She was also the first Californian to hold this position. Nancy held this position until 2011 when the Republicans regained control of the House of Representatives.
The election of 2018 gave the Democrats control of the House of Representatives and Nancy Pelosi was again elected to serve as Speaker of the House. The salary for the position of Speaker of the House is $225,300 per year. Nancy became a Congresswoman in 1987. For the 31 years that she has served her salaries would have been less than $6 million. During this period, her reports on net worth indicate that she has gained $37,910,468 since she was first elected. Estimates of her net worth vary from $100 million to $196 million. Politics has been very good for Nancy Pelosi.

Nancy and Paul Pelosi own a vineyard in California that is estimated to be worth $25 million. Paul is a real estate investor and a venture capitalist. He prefers to stay in California close to his business. Nancy is in Washington most of the year. Paul spends at least one week each month in Washington with Nancy but he prefers not to be involved with the political activity. Paul’s net worth is not disclosed but it exceeds $100 million. Among other things he is a Harvard graduate.

Nancy Pelosi is the most powerful female to ever serve in the Federal Government. Her first job after college was as an intern for a Senator. The Washington Area was home until she married Paul Pelosi from San Francisco. She attended high school in Baltimore and graduated from college in Washington, D. C. Her Father and her Brother served as Mayor of Baltimore.

THE REMAKING OF BIBLICAL WOMANHOOD

Beth Allison Barr has degrees from higher institutions of education and a high-powered career. When she had small children, she was asked if she was going to homeschool them. Well, this greatly offended her as if all she was created to do was be a wife and mother. Therefore, she wrote an entire book explaining away God’s will for women in order to fit her lifestyle instead. Instead of molding her life into the Bible, she molded the Bible into her lifestyle.

Kevin DeYoung wrote a review of the book Beth wrote titled “The Making of Biblical Womanhood.” Beth is clearly against everything I write. She hates the term “patriarchy” because of some experiences she had with men in her life, therefore, she uses her experiences to pervert the true meaning of biblical womanhood into something ugly and destructive.

Kevin wrote, “Anyone familiar with egalitarian arguments will not be surprised by the main exegetical claims: Paul’s commands are culturally bound; husbands and wives both submit to each other; Phoebe was a deaconess; Junia was a female apostle; Mary Magdalene preached the gospel; Galatians 3:28 obliterates gender-based hierarchy.”

I have heard all of these arguments against what I teach ad nauseum. Instead of taking God’s commands to them as given, women like her want to find any examples in the Bible to discount God’s clear commands.

Paul’s commands weren’t culturally bound. The admonitions for women to be silent in the churches go back to Creation. God made man first, and the woman was deceived. God placed the man in authority over his wife from the beginning of creation. The woman was created to be his help meet.

There isn’t one verse in the entire Bible that God commands husband to submit to their wives but at least 17 that I could count where God specifically explains the relationship of the wife to her husband. He is head over his wife, and she is to live in submission to him. Every institution has an authority structure. Why would marriage be any different?

Phoebe wasn’t a deaconess. Deacons are clearly to be the “husband of one wife” (1 Timothy 3:12). The KJV reads: “I commend unto you Phoebe our sister, which is a servant of the church at Cenchrea…For she hath been a succourer of many, and of myself also” (Romans 16:1,2). She was a servant in the church and helped many! This is how we are all called to live.

Junia was not an apostle, and who says Junia was a female? “Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellow-prisoners, who are of note among the apostles…” (Romans 16:7). Paul called him a “kinsman” which is a man. Kinswoman is for women. That should clear it up! Plus, he was “of note among the apostles.” He wasn’t even an apostle.

Mary Magdalene never preached. She told the disciples what she had seen. That’s entirely different to what John the Baptist, Jesus, and His disciples did which was to preach. Most people today don’t seem to know what preaching is.

Galatians 3:28 does NOT obliterate gender-based hierarchy. “There is neither Jew or Greek, there is neither bond or free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.” This verse means that ALL who believe in Jesus Christ are one in Christ Jesus. It in no way obliterates all of the other commands to men and women in God’s Word.

Beth wrote, “Then the Reformation tragically cemented the idea that women should be wives and mothers (p. 123). Later the Victorian age introduced unbiblical notions of modesty and purity (p. 156).”

So being wives and mothers is a tragic thing according to Beth. She’s simply a full-blown radical feminist that doesn’t like God’s will for women, so she finds every way in the Bible that she can to twist Scripture and make it what she wants it to say.

The notions of modesty and purity are unbiblical? Wow! She hates God’s Word and His ways. What does she do with this verse? “In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety…” (1 Timothy 2:9). Concerning purity: “Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committed fornication sinneth against his own body” (1 Corinthians 6:18).

Beth Allison Barr wrote an entire book letting us know that she doesn’t agree with God’s Word. She made up her own bible with her own god. There’s a good reason that God warns about false teachers in almost every book of the New Testament. Mark and avoid them, women!

Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
Romans 16:17
