Right, Left nor In-between
Right, Left or In-between
by Jackee G & Mason Denise Carlisle
First, I want to say this is my last article under the name Jackee G, my last name will be changing to McGinnis very soon.
So, this article starts off the year 2024 with a substantial focus on the Americas political situation. Sadly, and somewhat unbelievably, our democracy is under attack by people who claim to love the country and call themselves patriots. They wear their red hats with the M A G A logo, the letters stand for Make America Great Again. How? For who? In light of all this, it is now imperative that we all get involved, especially those of us who are truly patriotic and honestly do love our country.
We are now fighting a movement that has taken over the Republican Party and operates like a cult. They are fanatics, extremist, racist and willing to resort to violence to get their point across. For this reason, none of us can afford to sit on the fence this political year. These MAGA republicans rally around a man who has been charged with 91 felony accounts. A man that clearly struggles with recalling factual events, people and places. A man that has put our laws, law makers and law enforcers to unprecedented test, measures, and limits. The laws this country was founded on are being brought to bear, being questioned, and scrutinized like never before.
How did we get here? If you all remember, there was an article that broke down the different types of people on this planet. We talked about how people generally fall into one of four groups; most fall into the group that is the most complacent. These are the followers, the easily led, the ones who do not want to think for themselves. They just blindly follow a leader. They need to be entertained. They lack the ability to see things in a realistic light. Why? Because they refuse to take responsibility for their own beliefs, values and the lives they lead. It requires too much of them. It requires effort.
When the terms Left and Right are used to describing one of the two political parties, do we know which party is the left and which one is the right? The Left is the Democratic Political Party and the Right is the Republican Political Party, if you were unsure. The MAGA republicans are said to be to the far right because they are excessively extreme when it comes to their beliefs. Right now, that means they are rebelling against the laws that govern this country in order to justify standing with a man who is clearly unfit to be in a role of leadership in any capacity.
The foundation our country is built on is one of democracy. We are all bond, and many of us take an oath, pledging to uphold the laws that govern our country. Laws that are a reflection of our democracy. The laws that govern us are written in what we call our constitution, designed to provide rights to all Americans. Our founding fathers understood a need for a set of rules that protect all citizens, haven come from places where they were persecuted in the very ways they sought to ensure would never happen in this country.
Sadly, the MAGA republicans are attempting to revert back to an authoritarian government that will once again utilize religion to a point of persecution. This threat is real, particularly when it comes to upholding our nation’s primary laws. The Supreme Court’s sole function, unwavering duty, is to ensure the constitution stands and is adhered to at all times. The justices are supposed to be neutral, having no allegiance to either political party. Unfortunately, that is not the case. They have been packed with patrician justices that lean toward the right. This presents a problem that came to a head when the Supreme Court rolled back Roe vs Wade. Keep in mind, it is not the job of the court to rewrite the constitution but to make sure it is being followed at all times in all things.
We are aware there are parts of the constitution known as amendments with the first ten being a part if the Bill of Rights. Rights, for example: The 2nd amendment gives us the right to bear arms, something those on the right love to remind us of whenever we ask for stricter gun laws after a mass shooting. The 13th amendment is the Emancipation Proclamation, the abolishment of slavery. It has not been challenged. However, the 14th amendment is now come into focus. Although Roe vs Wade is not itself an amendment that solidifies a woman’s right to full bodily autonomy, it was part of section 1 in the 14th amendment that reads as follows:
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Abortion was considered a private matter, and we all have the right to a measure of privacy. So, okay, since it is not clearly specified in section one, it allowed the conservative justices an opening to overturn Roe vs Wade. But, there is another section in the 14th amendment that is very specific, and that is section 3 which is written as follows:
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, oir as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurraction or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
The 14th amendment has 5 sections and we now find ourselves on the verge of a constitutional crisis, as one political party is unwilling to apply the law to their chosen political leader. The constitution must be upheld showing now favor, and excluding no one who is in violation of this section of the 14th amendment. Now is not the time to pick and choose what parts of the law we will uphold, and which ones we will overlook. If this section of the 14th amendment is overlooked, what will this do to other parts of the law, Keep in mind the 13th amendment.
Now, let’s look at another faction of this extreme political party. The religious faction. They consider themselves Christians and they are a part of the Evangelical religion. Although it has been around for a while, and is used in the titles of the four Gospels of the Chrisian bible, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, and these apostles are also known as the four evangelicals, it did not become a prominent, even recognized religion for many of us until Billy Graham.
The MAGA republicans operate in a cult like fashion and rally behind a man that has always been menacing. This man was in the president’s seat from 2016 until 2020 and it was a turbulent four-year term, riddle with scandal and outrage, resulting in two impeachments, and ending with him inciting on insurrection against the United States government. This man has been a shock to our legal system as he is currently involved in some form of litigation somewhere, and has already been found guilty of crimes he has committing. He has lied, cheated, and stolen from the taxpayers, raped, and defiled his marriage bed, and destroyed small businesses. Everyone who trusts him is left destitute, sometimes imprisoned, for doing his biding. They rally behind him despite all of this.
Why? Perhaps we should ask ourselves who is this man? Scripture in all religious books describe this horrid man and he is known by many names. Yes, we are talking about the real Anti-Christ. We Gnostic call this man the Son of Perdition (hell, punishment, purgatory, abyss, soulless, empty). He is described as being lawless. His characteristics given to us throughout the books in the New Testament of the Christian and Gnostic Bible are explicit. He claims divine authority, doing all kinds of evil, (lying on the innocent, rape, murder, destruction). He claims he can do miraculous things and takes credit for anything society sees as good. He wants to return to a mighty temple, and the MAGA cult, along with the Evangelicals, are willing to assist him in this endeavor. The Whitehouse is that temple, he wants to once again preside over a government he tried to overthrow. People are in jail for the part they took in this attempt he insighted. He runs for reelection, refusing to participate in the activities required of all candidate seeking to run for president. He commands the republicans in congress, inciting them to work against the current administration in an attempt to weaken their position. Below is an example of the description of the Anti-Christ in one book in the bible.
Revelations describes this MAN as the Beast adorned with the attributes of the Dragon, an evil spirit. In chapter 6 verses 4,8 and 15 it describes what this man and those who worship him will be like:
6:4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword
6:8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
6:15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
The Thirteenth chapter 1-8 talks specifically about this MAN, calling him the BEAST empowered with the spirit of the Dragon:
13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
13:2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
13:6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
13:7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
So, how does scripture say this happens? A falling away. A departure of all things morally correct. How long has this been happening around the world, particularly in the United States? Far too long. The republicans have aways done things that they manage to twist and spin into something acceptable. They are deceptive and what they do is very costly for the average citizen. They manage to manipulate the group of people who do not like to think for themselves, who are easily misled. The MAGA republicans do not care about facts even when they are clearly visible. They want to be entertained, distracted, so they do not have to be accountable. Remember the seven deadly sins? Sloth is one of those sins, and an unwillingness to pay attention, or take responsibility for what is taking place, is an incredible act of sloth.
The MAGA people do not want to be emotionally responsible for anything. They thrive in a willful blindness that allows them to lead blissfully irresponsible lives. We all know how vital responsibility is if we are to live morally cognate. There are those who make a point of taking advantage of this group of people because it is so easy to mislead them. Donald Trump saw an opening and seized the opportunity to do what he is prophesized to do. He longs to once again lead a country that continues to struggle with racism, inequality, greed, and great economic disparities.
He does not care for the poor but uses them for his selfish purpose. They are blind to the things he does and plans to do to the less fortunate among us. For example: his frightening plans for people struggling to find employment, afford housing and/or have some form of mental illness. He tapped in on violence, using it in his favor before his depart from the American temple in 2020. He knows this country has the most violent people in the world, haven seen the reports of how America has the staggering number of serial killers. This country also has one of the highest incarceration rates in the world.
Let’s talk about that. Is there something in the 13th amendment that allows incarceration individuals to be enslaved?
Thirteenth Amendment, Section 1:
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Section 1 of the Thirteenth Amendment prohibits slavery and involuntary servitude in all places subject to U.S. jurisdiction.1 Since the states ratified the Amendment in 1865, the Supreme Court has decided cases interpreting the Prohibition Clause and applying it to various forms of government or private action. In particular, the Court has examined: (1) whether particular burdens imposed on individuals constitute prohibited badges or incidents of slavery;2 and (2) the meaning of involuntary servitude.3
There is a part in this section known as the Prohibition Clause that led some to believe incarceration was a way to enslave (except as a punishment for crime…). There have actually been instances where this has been implemented, particularly in prisons in the southern region of this nation. This man wants to tamper with the constitution, legally allowing the homeless to be criminalized, making this situation a felony. If he has his way he will be able to use incarceration as a means of reduce these unfortunate citizens to a status of servitude. This is the country the MAGA republicans want.
We all know about Jeffrey Epstein and his attraction to under aged girls. Trump was affiliated with this man, this is a fact. Let us not forget Epstein was alive when some underage Latino girls were taken at the border never to be heard of or seen again. Epstein had that island. We all remember when Trump was separating children from their parents? Some of us have seen hidden passages in Airbnbs, apartments, and even hotels. Have we questioned why they are there? Do we doubt they are in homes, hotels, and/or apartment complexes all over this country? How else are people being abducted, particularly children, never to be seen again? Who is paying for all this?
These tunnels and passages are elaborately constructed, costing major coins. Can we even begin to imagine the type of money this industry is producing? There is no commodity more valuable than a human being. So, need we question the republican desire to force women to continue to have children? We have heard them admit it on occasion, are we listening? They conveniently make this a religious issue, which is an age-old human tactic to force human acceptance and compliance. Let us remember the fact that life officially begins after birth, thus the birthday. This is not about The Most High. This is about Man and Money, make no mistake about it. Is the opening becoming more visible?
Entertainment, this group is entertained by violence, sports, fighting, war, combat, sex, chaos. Not just republicans but all politicians are aware of this and they use it to their advantage. To many people, guns are just as important to them as money. No, they do not want to really do anything about gun violence no matter how many innocent children are being murdered while in school. Think about it, how many children are being sexually tortured to death solely to entertain the wealthy? How many underage girls has Donald Trump came into contact with sexually, alongside his dear friend Epstein? He has several male friends who have been found guilty of rape and sexual assault on minor females. Is that opening widening for some of you? Honestly, where else would he be? His church distorts the attributes of Yahushua, (Jesus), the Most High. They proudly support and wear his mark upon their heads. That infamous red hat with his emblem MAGA embroider on it.
Donald Trump is the one spoken of in the scriptures of most holy books. He has successfully divided and separated his followers from those of us who see him in his evil form. They attack, threaten and terrorize. They are consumed with hate, which is the opposite of the Most High. He has people doing his bidding in positions of power and they attack all things right. Teachers, peace officers, some judges, particularly some of the justices in the Supreme Court. They are banning books and interfering in how our children are educated, all while being involved in criminal behavior themselves. Of course, he is their chosen leader. They threaten war but we are already fighting a war.
He is here everyone and we have to care about the things that our great nation was founded and built on, the very fiber it was woven together with. We have to standup as true patriots of this nation. We are the ones who really love America and the freedoms the constitution affords us all. We are a democracy, free from religious persecution. Free from dictatorship. We are governed by a leveled government, not a king, not a tyrant, and certainly not the Son of Perdition.
