Chuck Baldwin Live
Many of us grew up in Sunday School and church. We have heard the great Bible stories over and over. We heard about the story of how Moses’ mother defied Pharaoh and hid her little baby boy in bulrushes. We heard the story of how Moses killed the Egyptian taskmaster defending a Hebrew slave and later became the great deliverer of God’s people. We heard the story of young David going out alone against the Philistines’ greatest warrior, Goliath. We heard the story of how Saul’s servants refused to carry out the king’s order to murder the priest Ahimelech. We know well the story of Daniel who defied his government’s order to refrain from praying. The names Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego are very familiar to us. We heard our teachers and preachers extol their courage in defying the government’s order to bow to the image of their emperor. We remember that John the Baptist went to prison (and was eventually beheaded), not for preaching the Gospel, but for criticizing the king for his immoral behavior. We certainly recall the story of Simon Peter who bluntly told his civil magistrates, “We ought to obey God rather than men.” We know that the Apostle Paul wrote many of his epistles from inside government prisons. We certainly recall that before John penned the Revelation, he had been banished to an island-prison by his civil authorities.
I challenge Christians to objectively look at the great stories of Bible heroes (in both testaments) and observe how many times they are noted for either being martyred for defying a civil authority, or, perhaps, for being delivered from death for defying a civil authority. The stories of defiance to civil government (in one form or another) comprise a great percentage of all the stories contained in the Bible–perhaps even a majority of them.
So, how has it happened that a majority of today’s Christians, it seems, have become such sheepish slaves of government? How has it happened that, for the most part, the concept of courage in the face of government oppression has been totally lost to the average Christian, pastor, and church? For all intents and purposes, it is time for many Christians to shred their Bibles, because the lessons and principles of God’s Word have absolutely no influence over their attitudes and conduct.
For example, if the story of Peter in prison were being experienced today, instead of the church rallying behind their pastor and conducting an all-night prayer meeting for him, most church members would be excoriating him in the name of Romans chapter 13. Instead of Paul being let down the wall in a basket to escape the civil authorities trying to apprehend him, the average Christian today would be the first one to turn him over to the authorities.
In the mind of the average Christian, God is not God; government is God! For instance, when one well-known Christian attorney was recently confronted by the teaching of Scripture relative to the church’s independence from government (meaning, no church should allow itself to be subject to the government’s tyrannical 501(c)3 non-profit, tax-exempt status), he said, “That might be Biblically correct, but it is not legally correct.” In other words, the “Christian” attorney would rather a church be legal than Biblical. And, unfortunately, that seems to be the attitude of the vast majority of professing Christians today. They would rather please the government than please God; they would rather obey the government than obey God; they would rather be at peace with the government than be at peace with God.
And when it comes to the courage of risking anything of value in order to do right, forget it!
Think of what Abram risked when he obeyed God and left his country and kin and struck out for a land that God had not even told him of. Think of what Moses risked when he killed that Egyptian; think of what Joshua and Caleb risked when they defied the entire nation that was following the evil counsel of the ten spies; think of what David risked when he faced the giant; think of what Elijah risked when he confronted 850 false prophets all by himself; think of what the Old Testament prophets risked when they rebuked or challenged the kings of Israel and Judah; think of what the disciples risked when they “left all” and followed Jesus; think of what the early church risked when it embraced the Gospel and defied the wishes of Rome and Jewry (not to mention their own families and friends). But these stories are more like fairy tales to the average Christian today. They serve no practical benefit whatsoever!
Let a church deacon, trustee, or elder be told by some government-backed attorney that he is really a corporate officer, subject to the laws and punishments of IRS tax codes, and that church leader will say anything, sign anything, or do anything to save his own financial security. In order to not jeopardize his own standing with the IRS, that same church leader would turn his back on his best friend, or gladly join with the government in prosecuting a fellow believer.
I personally know of more than one case where professing Christians either lied against a beloved brother in order to protect themselves against threatened government (read: IRS) penalties, or actually testified for the prosecution (read: IRS) under oath in a court of law against a Christian brother. In each case, these “brothers” actually felt it was their “Christian duty” to betray their friends and brothers and help the government.
I am reminded of the verse where Jesus said, “Yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.” (John 16:2 KJV)
I am also reminded of the warning from the prophet Jeremiah when he cautioned, “Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will walk with slanders. And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity.” (Jeremiah 9:4,5 KJV)
Jeremiah’s prophecy is spot-on! Christians today cannot be trusted to be faithful to the truth; they cannot be trusted to not betray and turn against their brethren; they cannot be trusted to not be party with slander and libel. If it means saving their own skin, or keeping their bread buttered, or staying in the good graces of the IRS, they would sell out their best friend–maybe even their own mother! And it is no coincidence that Jeremiah, himself, experienced firsthand that which he had spoken. It is no wonder he said, “Trust ye not any brother.”
When will Christians get it through their heads (and in their hearts) that oftentimes government is the enemy of God? When will they understand that they have only one Sovereign: King Jesus? When will they come to comprehend that helping government perpetrate unjust action against fellow believers is a crime against Heaven? When will they stop talking about the Bible and actually start internalizing its teachings, examples, and principles?
It has gotten to the point today many unbelievers are far more trustworthy than today’s Christians–especially when it comes to the subject of resisting unjust government. It grieves me say that many “Christian” attorneys, politicians, pastors, and church leaders are merely shills and toadies for a government that has often become both oppressive and illegitimate!
May God help us! He will have to, because we won’t get much help from the vast majority of today’s professing Christians. That is for sure!

DHS Implementing No Work List: Citizens Must Get Government Approval to Work in Private Sector Jobs
Kurt Nimmo
Infowars.com
You’ve heard of no fly and no buy lists – get ready for no work lists. Millions of workers now must apply to the DHS and prove they are not terrorists in order to be granted permission by the government to work.
On the Alex Jones Show today, a caller pointed to information posted on a union website for ironworkers spelling out details on the Department of Homeland Security’s TWIC and SWAC programs.
TWIC is short for Transportation Worker Identification Credential and SWAC stands for Secure Worker Access Consortium.
TWIC “is a biometric credential that ensures only vetted workers are eligible to enter a secure construction site, unescorted,” Ironworkers Local 361 in Ozone Park, New York, explains. “Before issuing a TWIC, TSA must conduct a security threat assessment on the TWIC applicant. An applicant who, as a result of the assessment, is determined to not pose a security threat, will be issued a TWIC card.”
In other words, construction workers in New York will need permission from the TSA and DHS in order to practice their profession and earn a living. It was much the same in the former Soviet Union and authoritarian states such as China where the government determines all aspects of an individual’s life and where even the mildly rebellious are severely punished.
SWAC is even more draconian. It is “a large-scale collaborative effort among public and private authorities, facility owners, contractors, and labor organizations who are partnering to prevent terrorist activity by creating a trusted contractor community. Over 500 organizations, including the Port Authority of NY and NJ, which manages and maintains the bridges, tunnels, bus terminals, airports, PATH, and seaports that are essential to the bi-state region’s trade and transportation capabilities, have joined this effort,” according to the union website.
SWAC also requires a background investigation by the government, so if construction, port workers, longshoremen, and truck drivers are involved in political activity frowned upon by the feds – for instance, 9/11 truth, considered dangerous and subversive by the State Department – it is likely they will have to find another line of work.
A SWAC PDF specifically mentions “treason” in an exhaustive list of crimes and misdeeds that will result in the federal government denying a person the right to earn a living.
The TWIC Disclosure and Certification form states the following: “I acknowledge that if TSA or other law enforcement agencies determine that I pose an imminent threat to national security or transportation security, my employer may be notified.”
The TSA no-fly list contains thousands of names, including journalists and political activists. If the government determines you hold the wrong political beliefs, according to the TWIC document, your employer will be told and you may lose your job and the ability to provide for your family.
The TWIC application also mentions “treason” and “sedition” as a criteria to put an end to an individual’s employment.
Sedition is defined as overt conduct, such as speech and organization, that is deemed by officialdom to tend toward insurrection against the establishment. The Sedition Act of 1918 forbids the use of “disloyal, profane, scurrilous, or abusive language” about the United States government, its flag, or its armed forces. The Sedition Act was updated on October 26, 2001, when Congress signed the USA Patriot Act into law. In the mid 70s, the Church Committee discovered that the government had carried out an aggressive campaign for decades to neutralize – as FBI director Hoover characterized it – political activity the establishment considered a threat to its monopoly on power.
As noted above, TWIC plans to force an expensive biometric ID on workers. This idea is hardly new. In 2002, the Electronic Privacy Information Center sued the Department of Homeland Security in order to get details on then director Tom Ridge’s plan to introduce a biometric national ID card. Ridge and the government have stated repeatdly that “national security requirements would ultimately make such cards a reality.”
Emanuel: Government must prevent people on arbitrary no fly list from exercising Second Amendment.
Earlier this year, Democrats pushed the idea making a biometric national ID card mandatory for all Americans. “Everyone would have to produce the card to get a job, or keep a job,” the UPI reported on May 9. “On a five-year timetable the biometric cards would replace Social Security cards and would be used to prove eligibility for employment. Card scanners would be issued to all U.S. employers. The cards would at least have the capability of being linked to a central data system.”
TWIC and SWAC represent an incremental effort by the national security state to introduce biometric ID as a prerequisite for employment. In the months ahead, we can expect more intrusions by the government on our rights as spelled out by the Declaration of Independence.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness,” that document states.
Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness, however, according to the government, will soon be predicated on a national biometric ID card and inclusion of our most private information in sprawling databases.

In the coming Brave New World Order, only citizens vetted by a totalitarian government will be allowed to work and feed their families. All others will be locked out of the system like the mutants in Total Recall, the dystopian movie based on a story by Phillip K. Dick.

The Four American States Secretly Awarded to RUSSIA
American Holocaust
By Pamela Schuffert presenting investigative journalism from a Biblical Christian perspective-
There are four states that have been secretly awarded Russian takeover completely in the future, and the Russians living in those states know this...and many are openly bragging about this as well to bewildered Americans AND resident Russian Christians.
I was given this information by none other than Pentagon source AL CUPPETT some time ago.
Those four states are: WASHINGTON, OREGON, IDAHO and MONTANA.
These states have been secretly been awarded full Russian control in the future under martial law to RUSSIA, as a gift of appreciation from the NWO elements of our US government, fur Russia's cooperation in the future US martial law takeover agenda. Their Russian/Ukrainian/Slavic troops will be used heavily against resistant Americans under martial law.
These Russian troops will be used under martial law to break into homes and seize weapons, march Patriotic/religious America people off to prisoner boxcars to be taken to the detention camps, Bolshevik style, to be eliminated.
In Washington state they are openly bragging about Washington state no longer being AMERICA, as up in Moses Lake, according to one member of the Constitutionalists party there.
This member personally admitted to me that military type Russians are strutting around, looking at every American suspiciously, stating, "Be careful what you say, be careful what you do : THIS IS NO LONGER AMERICA!"
These four states admittedly are filled with many Russian immigrants, Washington and Oregon especially.One patriot group told me that there were more confirmed Russian KGB/FSB spies in WASHINGTON STATE than in any other, to their knowledge.
I have personally lectured in two Russian churches in Montana on the subject of MARTIAL LAW. They were very attentive and very concerned.
This is a major reason why Russian troops have been rehearsing in military practices in the high mountains of Montana, according to eye witnesses I personally interviewed.
This is a major reason why one Montana state trooper admitted that he observed a convoy of Russian military with US military DOD badges, hauling heavy military equipment up into the northwestern mountains of Montana. he pulled one over who showed him his DOD badge and admitted he was RUSSIAN. The state trooper peered into the trailers they were hauling and noted the heavy howitzer type cannons they contained among other weapons of war. It is believed that these powerful weapons were being hauled to a permanent secret military location(s) for future use against Patriot resisters of the NWO under martial law, heavily entrenched in the mountains of Montana, as my years of research uncovered.
So many preparations for NWO/martial law takeover are going in in those four states, I noted as I toured and researched for years in this region. Also there are so many sightings of PRISONER BOXCARS AND SHACKLES have occurred by locals throughout that region as well.
I used to wonder WHY there was seemingly so much NWO preparation throughout that region, UNTIL I remmebered the words in one report of AL CUPPETT some years ago, of Russia's future annexation of those four states.
Although I cannot prove this, I suspect that ALASKA has already been secretly awarded to Russia as well, for obvious reasons. It is the one state closest to America. A military tunnel has been created between Siberia and Alaska, bored by nuclear melting equipment. Russian insiders including one Russian pastor in Denver told me personally about this. The largest detention camps known is the one located in Alaska. It is only accessible by train or plane, can hold one million prisoners, and has a human crematory oven to dispose of those terminated under martial law. This camp flies joint RUSSIAN-AMERICAN FLAGS and is under the control of RUSSIAN MILTARY ADVISORS.
Prisoner boxcars with shackles are heavily entrenched in Alaska. One welder I interviewed in Montana (Ken) told me that he met with three welders from three different states, who told him that they had all been to ALASKA for recent work, that many welders were going to Alaska for special work to weld SHACKLES INTO BOXCARS.
The Alaskan railway had been extensively renovated around 2000, upgraded at feverish speed and using high tech modern railway equipment to replace miles and miles of worn railroad tracks and ties.
Russian Communists are experts in using their railway systems through past decades of oppression under communism, to transport millions of hapless political and religious resisters of their communist NWO takeover of Russian and Eastern Europe as well. It is not surprising that Russians will play a major role in the NWO globalist/communist takeover of America. Their pattern is being followed here in America with the building of hundreds of modern detention camps (FEMA/HALLIBURTON KELLOGG ROOT AND BROWN/ HOMELANDS SECURITY and military camps as well) for detaining of political/religious NWO resisters in North America. All these camps are accessible by rail or planes, and many relying on the infamous prisoner boxcars with shackles for prisoner transport.
I will never forget stnading next to Militia of Montana leaer JOHN TROCHMAN on time as I interviewed him in Noxon, MT. He pointed up into the air and said, "SEE that high altitude plane flying overhead? I have viewed many of them with powerful binoculars, and they are RUSSIAN planes!
Canadians living in that same Pacific Northwest region told me that they have witnessed huge planeloads of Slavic military troops coming off their planes, destination unknown in Abbotsford, BC at the internation airport located there.
There is so much more I could say about all this.
American Patriots and Christians living in this region, be aware and pray fervently for divine intervention in your states at this time and in the future.
