On Monday, there was a slew of protests across the country, part of A15 Action, an agreement to “identify and blockade major choke points” in America.

Here was the call from ProtectPalestine.org:

“GLOBAL STRIKE TOMORROW. TAKE ACTION TO DEMAND A CEASEFIRE NOW. Whether it’s autonomous or one of the organized protests, make our voices heard. NO MORE WEAPONS FOR ISRAEL. EMERGENCY AID FOR GAZA NOW. PERMANENT CEASEFIRE NOW,” the organization posted on social media.

I actually agree with some of that, as my posts show. You can throw Ukraine into that mix as well. I am also a Catholic Christian concerned about Christians in Palestine, as too many people seem to think the Middle East is just a battle of two tribes–Muslims and Jews.

But Monday didn’t appear to be what A15 claimed it was, as has been the case so often when these mask wearing law breakers take to the streets. Here is a short video that lends credence to this instinct. Hint: it involves Antifa.

What this appears to be, with a façade that reeks of disingenuousness, is orchestrated criminal activity. The question, now that it is an all-important election year, is whether or not this will grow yet again into a series of intimidation events.

I would like to know if these people are equally irate over the number of Christians being persecuted and killed in Palestine.

The pathetic thing, perhaps, is that some of these videos don’t even show a mob. Oftentimes it’s not that many people at all, and yet life and work were shut down on Monday for too many Americans. But small in number doesn’t mean small in intimidation.

Any good news from arrests that took place might be cancelled by this:

so this A15 day of action…

activists are getting arrested while blocking economic choke points.

there's a bail fund to get them out of jail.

donations are run through none other than actblue

and the fund is managed by a project of the tides center. pic.twitter.com/O1P5oXvobU

In other words, some of the usual suspects on the Left. They abuse what might be a good cause with this seeming treachery.

There are villains and infiltrated, compromised governments all over the world. This crisis is not excluded from that. It is important to consider where all the villains might lie, no matter what flag they wave.

Here, they are waving the Palestinian flag, perhaps in earnest, perhaps not. But one bottom line is that there are places and ways to protest. There are ways to call for change, like prayer and fasting, but I don’t see anyone calling for that on the streets.

I’m sure there are more of these videos I post below, just as there have been across America for months now, including several right here in Louisiana. On the heels of this weekend’s latest story concerning the conflict between Israel and Iran is as good a time as any for us to contextualize these “protests” in the scope of the year 2020 and the ongoing invasion at the southern border. It is an election year, as everyone knows, and it is worth considering that the villains behind the scenes are stoking the fires for coming chaos once again.

This has all the markings of what 2020 eventually turned into.

The Hayride‘s Jeff Sadow opined on HB 737 by Representative Kellee Dickerson (R) today, saying that we shouldn’t “be misled by the usual suspects’ disingenuous blather about ‘free speech.'” The bill prohibits a person from engaging in picketing at the residence or dwelling of an individual. While this may seem like an isolated state issue disconnected from the protests that flared up on Monday, there is actually a very important connection that only needs 2020 as context to remind us of its legitimacy:

Understand that the political left wants to be able to intimidate who it sees as its opponents. When analyzed using logic and fact, liberalism fails to persuade as to correctness of its view of the human condition particularly compared to conservatism, so leftist activists rely much more heavily on emotive appeals. Unable to win intellectual debates, over the decades it steadily has expanded to shouting down any expression with which it disagrees, deplatforming that, and performing cancel culture.

The intimidation strategy extends from this, its methodology trying to make all aspects of life so miserable to those who refuse to submit to its orthodoxy that they surrender the public square. In essence, it operates as a form of censorship, discouraging the articulation and enactment into law or policy the ideas it opposes either by keeping out of public service those who would challenge it or causing its opponents to keep quiet with their alternatives out of fear they will be targeted if they try to resist.

Whether it be picketing or protesting, whether it be on a world-famous bridge or outside your next door neighbor’s house, it is all the same. When at its worst the Left aims to intimidate, silence, and crush its opponents. And we have to be ready for it this time.

Not that you need to watch this nonsense, but here are two such instances, one at Chicago O’Hare Airport and one on the San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge. Many patrons were forced to leave their cars to catch their flight, and others had to simply miss it.

 

 

Did you notice the masks again?

It is difficult to conclude how on Earth the US intelligence apparatus didn’t know that there would be such a coordinated series of blockades being staged, two of which choked the traffic flow on two of the most important bridges in the country in San Francisco and Brooklyn. Of course, if you know that said apparatus has been infiltrated with rogue elements for decades now, perhaps it is not difficult at all. Perhaps they were still shaking down parents at school meetings or investigating Traditional Latin Catholics as domestic terrorists somewhere.

One might guess that this is all just theatre moving us toward the main event(s) sure to come in the coming months. Protests getting us primed for protests.

One might also guess how many of these folks are and will be here because of that joke of a southern border. The chaos is here, and it seems it may be here to stay as November nears.

May everyone named directly or referenced indirectly ask forgiveness and do penance for their sins against America and God. I fight this information war in the spirit of justice and love for the innocent, but I have been reminded of the need for mercy and prayers for our enemies. I am a sinner in need of redemption as well after all, for my sins are many. In the words of Jesus Christ himself, Lord forgive us all, for we know not what we do.
