Smash-and-Grabs: The Chickens Come Home to Roost

Large cities in the United States in recent years have been plagued with a rash of smash-and-grab robberies perpetrated by millennials in masks. If you are unfamiliar with the term “smash-and-grab”, the descriptor is exactly what it sounds like. A gang of hoodlums enter a store, smash glass countertops and display cases, and steal merchandise. The sweat pant clad robbers then flee, loaded with handbags, jewelry or designer clothes, leaving shoppers standing with gaping mouths in shocked disbelief. YouTube has plenty of unsteady cell phone smash-and-grab videos if you wish to watch the mayhem.i


Experts have many opinions as to why millennials are committing coordinated group theft. Some cite Proposition 47 in Californiaii, others cite insufficient police resources. Those are the more credible sounding reasons. Non-credible and absurd excuses abound.


But there is one big reason that America is being terrorized by millennial looters that few wish to acknowledge, and that is simply this: young people are acting like the brazen thieves their godless socialist educators have taught them to be.


Young people are taught there is no God, that there is no such thing as God’s law and there is no such thing as sin. They are taught that if it feels right, do it, that they can change their gender, that it is fine to abort their in-utero babies. In fact, they are encouraged to abort their babies because there are too many people on the planet, which is bad for climate change.


They are told that they evolved through natural selection. They are taught that there is no meaning to life. They are taught the common good overrules individual property rights.iii This is an argument created to justify theft.

They have been raised on violent video games where their characters steal, and murder and break the law. Millions play in never-ending tournaments where the single objective is to kill and steal more than opponents.

Most of their educators are socialists who hate the Constitution and capitalism, and is it any surprise that they have been taught to be socialists, too?


This is their education. They have been taught that there is no such thing as the truth, only their truth. And their truth is that they need those Luis Vuitton handbags a whole lot more than the stores do.


If this were a grand experiment, with projections about the outcome made in the 1960s at the outset by the scientists carrying out the tests, what projections would be made about the behavior of individuals subjected to such teachings from their youth? What ought to be anticipated about the products of such an education? Would one expect such people to be law-abiding citizens? Could it be projected that they would be principled, noble and responsible? Does anyone think such an education is conducive to creating God-fearing people who love their neighbor as themselves?


Of course there are smash-and-grabs in major cities by young people!!! Of course there are gangs of adolescents assaulting people in broad daylight!iv Of course Americas’ cities are full of crime and drugs and wrecks of human beings!! Of course San Francisco is full of feces and needles on the sidewalk, and stores that are closing and leaving town because they cannot stand the filth and the crime and the lack of law enforcement!

For decades now, the western world has existed on a steady entertainment diet of violence and immorality and evil music inspired by demonic forces. People love to watch two men or women bludgeon each other into submission. Of course the streets are unsafe! Of course there are blood-chilling murders and crime of the worst sort across the nation on a daily basis. We live in a perfect storm of immorality, selfishness, and love of violence.

What happens when you constantly feed violence and immorality and wickedness of every sort to people whose hearts are naturally wicked in the first place? God’s word declares that the heart of mankind without Him is “deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked” (Jeremiah 17:9). What, honestly, do people expect?

The Bible warns that in the last days perilous times shall com. Perilous, dangerous, uncertain times. The Scriptures teach that at the end, people will be “lovers of their own selves, covetous,v boasters,vi proud,vii blasphemers,viii disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy.”ix And they are.


We are told multitudes in the last generations will be without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God.” And it is true.


There is no millennium of peace coming on this world, as the popular churches preach. How could there be a millennium of peace with a world like this? There will be no “men becoming gods”, the favorite delusion of the elite. Rather, it is as it was foretold, “in the last days, perilous times shall come.” And they have.


Jesus asked, “When the Son of Man returns will He find faith on the earth” (Luke 18:8)? What about you, friend? Look around you. Are you ready to meet the God of the Universe when He returns, or are you running with the doomed herd? Jesus has bought you with His own blood because He loves you, and wants to give you a new heart. A clean, pure, undefiled heart that loves righteousness, not wickedness. And He says to each one of us, “Seek ye the Lord while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near” (Isaiah 55:6). Let us do so while the door of mercy is still open.

ii Prop 47, as it is known, increased the amount a person can steal before being charge with a felony, from $450 to $950. This change has emboldened criminals and encouraged petty theft, as one obviously would expect.

The Sun Is Setting on the British Empire

By Wings of Liberty • October 18, 2025
Humanity is accelerating toward the fulfillment of Bible prophecy and the events warned of in Revelation 13-18. Ecumenism is bringing Protestantism back into harmony with the Papacy. The wall of separation between church and state is under attack from religeonists who covet state power to compel their dogmas on the human population. We have passed another signpost. The Church of England split from the Roman Catholic Church in 1534 during the Reformation over a dispute about papal authority and the annulment of Henry VIII’s marriage. As a result of this schism, Anglicans have long had an established creed similar to the Westminster Confession of the Reformed Church. Like the Westminster Confession, the “39 Articles of Anglicanism” formally rejects the papal claim to universal supremacy for the Bishop of Rome. The 39 Articles of Anglicanism include the following: “As the Church of Jerusalem, Alexandria, and Antioch, have erred, so also the Church of Rome hath erred, not only in their living and manner of Ceremonies, but also in matters of Faith”; “The Romeish Doctrine concerning Purgatory, Pardons, Worshiping and Adoration, as well of Images as of Relics, and also Invocation of Saints, is a fond thing, vainly invented, and grounded upon no warranty of Scripture, but rather repugnant to the Word of God”, “It is a thing plainly repugnant to the Word of God, and the custom of the Primitive Church to have public Prayer in the Church, or to minister the Sacraments, in a tongue not understanded of the people”, “Bishops, Priests, and Deacons, are not commanded by God's Law, either to vow the estate of single life, or to abstain from marriage: therefore it is lawful for them, as for all other Christian men, to marry at their own discretion, as they shall judge the same to serve better to godliness”, and “ The Bishop of Rome hath no jurisdiction in this Realm of England.” The Popes assert they “hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty”. England rejected these boastful claims and the Pope’s presumptuous authority to dominate the minds and hearts of humanity. It is not a coincidence that while many other European countries were suffering under the oppression of the Inquisition, England was advancing toward empire. So vast was is influence at one time it was famously even claimed that “the sun never sets on the British empire”. But a great change has come. For some decades England, which never sufficiently distanced herself from Rome doctrineally, has been increasingly friendly toward the Papacy. Today, the globalism of the Roman pontiff is the globalism of King Charles III. The climate change agendas of Pope Francis and Pope Leo XIV are also shared by King Charles III, the latter of who’s father publicly advocated for population reduction and compared humanity to a “plague”. England is also adopting digital IDs and carrying out mass surveillance and censorship on its own citizens, a practice near to the hearts of the prelates of Rome, to be sure. And now, King Charles III, who holds the title of not only king but Supreme Governor of the Anglican Church, is headed to Rome to hold a public prayer ceremony with Pope Leo XIV. The leader of the Anglican Church has not engaged in public prayer with the Bishop of Rome for approximately 500 years. According to the Royal Palace, “This will be the first state visit, since the Reformation, where the Pope and the Monarch will pray together in an ecumenical service in the Sistine Chapel, and the first time the monarch will have attended a service in St Paul’s Outside the Walls, a church with an historic connection to the English Crown.” According to MSN News, Charles III will also accept a new title. “Charles is also being recogenised for the British monarchy’s historic association with the Papal Basilica of St Paul’s Outside the Walls in Rome, the seat of a Benedictine Abbey, and will be made “Royal Confrater” of the abbey.” Rome never changes. The Papacy has not retreated one letter from its false doctrines. It still claims authority over this earth. It still teaches the false doctrine of purgatory and forbids priests to marry, as well as many more false doctrines which Protestants, including Anglicans, object to. So why this ecumenical development today? The change is with the Anglican Church, which is drifting back toward the once-estranged mother as prophecy foretells. The light of sola scriptura that was brought to England by the Bible is being rejected. It seeks the company of the pope, the pretender to the throne of Christ. Like Israel of old, Anglicanism will say, “we have no king but Caesar.” Of all the Protestant denominations, Anglicanism is the closest to Catholicism. The pageantry and formal rites still have many similarities. England mirrors the union of church and state of Roman Catholicism by unifying church and state in the person of the monarch of England. It has no pope, but it has a king who claims to be the head of the church. Now that king will go to Rome. All roads lead there, it is said, and Protestantism has set itself to prove it. The sun is setting on the British empire after all.

THE CURSE OF CHURCH AND STATE, PART 4: THE FIRST DUTY OF CITIZENS

By Wings of Liberty • October 3, 2025
“ It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. We hold this prudent jealousy to be the first duty of Citizens...” – James Madison, Memorial and Remonstrance Let us soberly consider Madison’s warning. It is “ proper ” to be alarmed at the “ first ” experiment (in modern terms, “threat”) to our liberties . The first threat, mind you. And, not only is it “proper to take alarm”, but “ this prudent jealousy ” is the “ first duty of citizens .” What a warning! Our world is full of tyrants. There are tyrants on the Left, and yes, do not deceive yourself, there are also plenty of tyrants on the Right. Let us soberly evaluate ourselves as citizens then. Have we, do we, exercise “that prudent jealousy” to safeguard individual liberties, not only ours but the individual liberties of our society? No. If we are honest, the answer is “no.” Collectively and individually, western society has woefully failed to take alarm when individual liberties are threatened. If “eternal vigilance is the price of liberty”, as Jefferson said, we should expect to be enslaved. And we ought not to be surprised that this is precisely what is happening. We are entertained. We are preoccupied. We are self-absorbed. And we have failed to be vigilant for liberty. What liberties are we to guard? We do not have to guess. We are to jealously safeguard as our first duty those liberties enshrined in the Constitution. First and foremost, we are to safeguard the separation of church and state, freedom of religion, free speech, freedom of the press, and the right to assemble. Before considering the existential threat to liberty that Christian Nationalism poses, which is the primary subject of this article, we first must make dishonorable mention of certain other threats to liberty which so many of us have ignored to our shame and peril. Compulsion to use biologically discordant gender pronouns is a threat to liberty. Silence while the world plays make-believe about men becoming women and having babies is a threat to liberty. Government removal of parental rights is a threat to liberty. Suing bakeries to punish them for refusing to make wedding cakes for gay weddings is a threat to liberty. And yes, killing millions of babies in utero is absolutely a threat to liberty. Not only is it uncivil and immoral, it is national suicide to wilfully destroy the next generation of human beings. Killing millions of babies is correlated with western willingness to accept mass migration. There is a need to replace workers the western world does not have. How is that going for you, France? Germany? UK? America? But if any of the above makes you feel partisanly righteous, however, let us disabuse you of your sanctimony. Both Left and Right governments locked their populaces down during Covid. Both forced and bullied their citizens into social distancing and “two weeks to flatten” the spine of the population. What would Madison have said about an America where the government threatens the civil liberties of the entire country, and American’s response was to roll up their sleeves, and say, “fine, Fauci says I need it, and I really want a free hamburger”? We are to take alarm at the First Experiment upon our liberties. And when does that start? Is 37 trillion dollars of national debt a threat to liberty? What about currency debasement? Mass warrantless public surveillance? Digital money tied directly to the Federal Reserve so that authorities can shut your entire life off with the push of a button? No, Christian Nationalism is not the first threat to liberty. Not even close. But it is a threat to liberty and more than this, it is biblically prophetic, as we have discussed. Click Here For Previous Articles You might ask – why shouldn’t the Christian Right take control of civil power and abuse the Left as much as the Left has abused us? And we could respond, and do respond, “because it is unconstitutional”. And it is. But the answer is bigger than that. Doug Wilson, and Jared Longshore. Timon Cline and Lennox Kalifungwa. Stephen Wolfe. These, and many other modern and intolerant “Christian” thought leaders all believe in the establishment of a Christian Republic in America as a cure for society’s ills. What do they propose? Liberty? Far from it. The Woke Left violated free speech through state-sponsored gender confusion and forced pronouns. The Christian Nationalist response is blasphemy laws enforced by the state. Doug Wilson and friends are constantly telling everyone who will listen how great the Puritans in Massachusetts were, and that they founded America, which is false by the way. But they do not tell you that in Massachusetts violations of blasphemy laws were historically punished by piercing the offender’s tongue with a hot poker, or death. Today in Massachusetts, a blasphemy law still exists (although it is not currently enforced), and states as follows: Section 36: Blasphemy Section 36. Whoever wilfully blasphemes the holy name of God by denying, cursing or contumeliously reproaching God, his creation, government or final judging of the world, or by cursing or contumeliously reproaching Jesus Christ or the Holy Ghost, or by cursing or contumeliously reproaching or exposing to contempt and ridicule, the holy word of God contained in the holy scriptures shall be punished by imprisonment in jail for not more than one year or by a fine of not more than three hundred dollars, and may also be bound to good behavior. Are we so blind that we do not see that censorship from the Right is as much a threat to liberty as censorship from the Left? Christian Nationalists claim Swiss Reformer John Calvin is the father of America. This is a dangerous and outrageous falsehood, and will be the subject of an upcoming article. It must never be forgotten that John Calvin had men murdered for the supposed crime of heresy, the substance of which was nothing more than disagreeing with John Calvin. The Woke Left hijacked government to enforce their religion of gender ideology. And Christian Nationalists want to establish Protestantism as an official state religion, contrary to the First Amendment to the Constitution. Doug Wilson and company intend to legislate compliance with the first table of the Ten Commandments. That includes blasphemy laws, of course, but also Sunday ‘Sabbath’ blue laws, and punishments for supposed violations. Violations of Sunday laws historically included whipping. Jailing. Chain gangs. Stocks. And death. And in case you were wondering, all of those things when imposed for simply disagreeing with religious bigots are a threat to liberty. Christian Nationalists want to demolish the separation of church and state in America, and even admit their intention to impose a religious test for public office, contrary to the Article VI of the Constitution: The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution ; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States. Doug Wilson and company are openly stating their intention to threaten the liberty of every single American. Madison would have opposed them publicly, were he alive. But he has left the trust to us. Madison as a youth stood outside a local prison and listened to an incarcerated minister preach through the bars of his cell window. The minister had been imprisoned for the so-called “crime” of “preaching the Gospel incorrectly”. Because he had seen oppression from religious bigots firsthand, James Madison had a lifelong animus to the union of church and state. And so should you. It is a threat to liberty, and it is your first duty as a citizen to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. ********************************* Sources: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmSG4U06X2o – Discussion between Walter Veith et al and Doug Wilson where Doug Wilson states he is in favor of the state establishment of the Protestant religion. “I believe the Christian faith ought to be the public faith of our civic polity. That’s why I’m a Christian Nationalist.” – Doug Wilson, minute 33:30. Wilson claims he nevertheless believes in the First Amendment and the separation of church and state, which is disingenuous. He also believes the government should enforce the first table of the Decalogue, proving further that he is really aiming to break down the wall of separation between church and state. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dgkfi191qV0 – David Shepherd and Lennox Kalifungwa interview Pastor Douglas Wilson and Ben Merkle https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hRZ1eTNX65w – Senate hearing on Covid shot safety, September 2025 https://www.senate.gov/about/origins-foundations/senate-and-constitution/constitution.htm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFeIO0ZjdF8 - CNN interview with Christian Nationalist Doug Wilson
