Lies about Racism, Fascism, and Nazism – from “The Big Lie”

I am continuing to share with you my reading notes from Dinesh D’Souza’s book, the Big Lie. Click here to see the previous post on this subject.

Notes from pages 5-14

The left has managed to transfer the blame for racism (slavery, the Klu Klux Klan, etc.) from the Dem. Party to the Rep. Party. How was it done? They told lies. Lies were taught in classrooms; lies were made into movies and TV shows; lies were reported in the media as truth.
These lies were revealed in the book Hillary’s America—and the left was outraged. Dinesh D’Souza noted that in 1860, the year before the Civil War, no republican owned any slaves; they were all owned by Democrats (p. 5).
It has come to be in this present culture that whenever someone doesn’t like what you believe in, he will call you Hitler or a Nazi. So…

It has come to be in this present culture that whenever someone doesn’t like what you believe in, he will call you Hitler or a Nazi. So the terms Nazi and fascism have become meaningless.
However, when multiple people say you’re a fascist, that makes it seem that you really are a fascist—and so the lie spreads.
When Trump has been compared to fascists and Nazis, they were (and are) seeking to make his presidency illegitimate.
What else did people do to try to convince the greater public that Trump was an illegitimate president? Did they investigate the voting records, etc.? Maybe a little; but mainly they told lies about him. They said he was unfit; some called for his impeachment; some even called for his assassination.

Personalities in the Tribulation: Israel – Part 2

Posted on February 19, 2022 by Stephen Nielsen

Studying Bible Prophecy

The nation of Israel and the Israelite people are probably the most important of all in our list of personalities; for the seventh week (the Tribulation) has been decreed for the people of Israel (Dan. 9:24), to prepare them for their Messiah by Tribulation. Here is part 1.

4. Israel flees to the mountains.When the first half of the Tribulation ends, right at the mid-point, the Antichrist will be revealed for who he really is, as his restraints to do evil will be removed. The sign of the beginning of his evil doings is when the Jews see “the abomination of desolation” standing in the Jewish temple. This may be the Antichrist himself displaying himself as being God (2 Thess. 2:4), or it could be his image that the false prophet sets up (Rev. 13:15). Nonetheless, I think they will see this abomination for what it is, and…

FAILURE IN PRAYER—10 Reasons Why We Fail In Getting To Prayer

Posted on February 18, 2022 by Stephen Nielsen

Prayer A to Z

There are many areas of failure in getting to prayer. And so I have done my best to point out some of those areas. I have found ten different areas of failure; and I have outlined them with the acrostic P-R-A-Y-E-R-L-E-S-S. I hope this acrostic will help you to remember them.

# 1 – Priority. We don’t give prayer the proper priority. The reason of course is that we fail to see the importance of prayer. Perhaps we haven’t come into a close relationship with God yet, and we don’t enjoy spending time with Him. Also it may be because we are lazy; we lack discipline; and we don’t take the time to set our alarm clock a little earlier, so we have time to pray in the morning. Basically, it is just selfishness and sin.

# 2 – Rest. We aren’t resting in faith. A…

Inverted Lies – from the book “The Big Lie”

Posted on February 17, 2022 by Stephen Nielsen

I have just started reading the book, The Big Lie, by Dinesh D’Souza. It is so fascinating and true that I have decided to blog the high points. We will see how that goes. This first blog post will cover only the first three book pages, which are sort of an introduction of how Dinesh D’Souza will go on exposing the Nazi roots of the American left. I’m sure what is revealed will be quite evil but true.

Notes from The Big Lie, pages 1-3

Those who misbehave and then transfer their bad behavior to others is called transference.
In some cases, the lying perpetrator says that his counselor or doctor is the bad guy and the liar; this is called an inversion of the truth or an inverted lie—or a Big Big lie.
In the case of Hitler, he accused the Jews of lying and of plotting the destruction of Germany. So, he attributed lying to those he was lying about; and in his lying he plots the destruction of the Jews. The entire thing is inverted.
In the present case of the political left and the Democrat party, they are accusing Donald Trump and the GOP of being the new version of Hitler and the new incarnation of the Nazi party. So, the question is, who is the liar and the fascist, the left or Trump and the GOP?

Studying Bible Prophecy

1. The regathering of Israel. In Ezekiel 37:1-28, the Lord gives three promises to Israel: 1) “Behold, I will take the sons of Israel from among the nations where they have gone, and I will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land” (v. 21); 2) “they will no longer be divided into two kingdoms” (v. 22); and 3) “they will all have one shepherd” (v. 24).

The first two of these promises are being fulfilled right now; and the third promise will happen at the second advent when all Israel will…

3 prayer requests for an effective witness

Posted on February 15, 2022 by Stephen Nielsen

Prayer A to Z

There is no need for any Christian to worry about whether his witness will be effective. Pray these three things and trust the Lord to do His work.

For the Holy Spirit to continue His work long after your witness. If the Holy Spirit has led you with boldness to witness to someone, you can believe that He has also been ministering to that person—that is, all along the way He has been preparing that person’s heart to hear the gospel. Bit by bit He has been liberating that one’s mind and heart from the power of Satan; He has been helping them to see their own lostness, to see that time is short, and to see God’s love.

Let me urge you to keep praying for that lost one. Pray that throughout your witness and even after you witness, that the Holy Spirit would continue His ministry…

Durham Probe Revelations Refused by White House

Posted on February 14, 2022 by Stephen Nielsen

White House refuses to answer question on Durham probe revelations

Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign allegedly paid a technology company to ‘infiltrate’ Trump Tower and later the White House

Look at this video: Crenshaw reacts to Clinton bombshell: ‘One of the worst scandals of our lifetime’

Here is the Fox report:

White House deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refused to answer questions about the Durham probe during Monday’s press briefing despite new revelations regarding Democratic efforts to link former President Donald Trump to Russia.
“I can’t speak to that report,” Jean-Pierre told reporters on Monday. “I refer you to the Department of Justice.”
CLINTON CAMPAIGN PAID TO ‘INFILTRATE’ TRUMP TOWER, WHITE HOUSE SERVERS TO LINK TRUMP TO RUSSIA: DURHAM
The exchange comes after special counsel John Durham released in a filing Saturday alleging that lawyers for the Clinton campaign paid a technology company to infiltrate servers belonging to Trump Tower, and later the White House, in order to establish an “inference” and “narrative” to bring to government agencies linking Trump to Russia.
The court filing alleges that the tech executive used company access to government domain name system data through a pending cybersecurity contract with the government.

“Tech Executive-1 and his associates exploited this arrangement by mining the EOP’s DNS traffic and other data for the purpose of gathering derogatory information about Donald Trump,” Durham’s office said in the filing, referring to the White House’s Executive Office of the President.
The filing came as part of the probe’s prosecution of Michael Sussman, an attorney who worked on behalf of Clinton’s 2016 campaign.
Reacting to the revelations Saturday, Trump said the filings provide “indisputable evidence” for “a scandal far greater in scope and magnitude than Watergate.”
“Those who were involved in and knew about this spying operation should be subject to criminal prosecution,” Trump said. “In a stronger period of time in our country, this crime would have been punishable by death.”

Trump added that “reparations should be paid to those in our country who have been damaged by this.”
But Jean-Pierre had no interest in entertaining questions about the probe during the briefing, referring repeated questions about it to the DOJ.
