The Law of Iron

 

 

The following remarkable interview occurred this week between Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller and CNN’s Jake Tapper. The discussion involved the capture of Nicholas Maduro of Venezuela, the fate of its enormous resources, and growing imperialistic intentions targeting the island of Greenland.



Mr. Miller in the interview stated that one of the largest naval armadas in history had blockaded Venezuela. He dismissed “international niceties” and questions about the legality of the capture of Maduro, and made the following assertions.   


  • “We live in a world, in the real world, Jake, that is governed by strength, that is governed by force, that is governed by power. These are the iron laws of the world from the beginning of time.” 
  • “By definition, we are in charge because we have the United States military stationed outside the country. We set the terms and conditions. We have a complete embargo on all of their oil and their ability to do commerce. For them to do commerce they need our permission. For them to be able to run an economy they need our permission.” 


After declaring in essence that might makes right, Mr. Miller made the following statements regarding the Danish colony of Greenland: 


  • “It is the formal position of the US government… that Greenland should be part of the United States.” 
  • The United States “is NATO” and in order to fulfill its treaty obligations it must have Greenland. 
  • “By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? What is the basis of their territorial claim? What is their basis of having Greenland as a colony?” 
  • “Obviously Greenland should be part of the United States.” 
  •  “Nobody is going to fight the United States, militarily, over the future of Greenland.” 


It was subsequently confirmed by the White House that it was considering all options, including military force, to seize Greenland.[i] For its part, Denmark has advised that it will shoot first and ask questions later if America attempts to invade its colony.[ii] 


To many, this abrasive rhetoric is bewildering. What? America is going to invade … (checks notes) … Greenland? 


Administration officials claim the menacing posture is simply “the art of the deal”. Trump wants Greenland for strategic reasons and for its rare earth minerals, and thinks military threats will help the acquisition. But this claim only raises more questions. What friend demands another friend’s resources at gunpoint? What kind of “deal” is obtained by threats of war? Where is this headed? What does it mean? 


FOUNDATIONS 


As this website has often discussed, in concept America was founded on an absolute hatred for tyranny. 


The Declaration of Independence itself is a litany of complaints against the high-handed imperialism of King George III. Here are just a few you should consider and contemplate.   

 

  • Grievance 7: "He has endeavored to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners..." 
  • Grievance 14: "For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us." 
  • Grievance 15: "For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States." 
  • Grievance 16: "For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world." 
  • Grievance 17: "For imposing taxes on us without our consent." 
  • Grievance 18: "For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Jury trial." 
  • Grievance 19: "For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offenses.” 
  • Grievance 24: "He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people." 


The Founding Fathers and their countrymen hated the imperialism of King George III. They hated his tariffs, his taxes and his control of their trade. They hated how he dictated to them from across the ocean, and demanded their resources. Thomas Jefferson called him “a plundering tyrant.” 


The colonists loathed how King George passed laws which he pretended legitimized his cruelty and oppression. “I’m acting according to law!”, said King George, “its you who are the law breakers!” 


But there are higher laws than King George, and higher Powers than earthly rulers. The colonists appealed to these higher laws that are forever above all earthly tyrannical laws. The Declaration of Independence states: 


When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. 


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 to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed…[iii] 


Human laws may authorize theft, but they cannot supersede that eternal law which declares, “Thou Shalt not steal”. Human laws may legitimize murder, but there can be no immunity from the bar of God, which declares “Thou shalt not kill.” 


One of the grievances of the colonies was that King George was shielding British troops from accountability for the murder of colonists. Britain made its soldiers above, and immune from, the civil law. That is fascinating. 

Is there a modern equivalent? As checks and balances are broken down and the deterioration of the principles of the Republic become metastatic, one would expect there must be. And astonishingly, according to a recent statement by Vice President Vance, ICE agents operate pursuant to federal law alone and have “absolute immunity.”[iv] 


The precedent here is very simple. You have a federal law enforcement official engaging in federal law enforcement action – that’s a federal issue. That guy is protected by absolute immunity. – J. D. Vance 


If you read that too fast, go back and read it again slower. 


Vance is not just arguing there should not be civil accountability for the specific ICE agent who shot Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026. Vance is asserting that state laws do not apply to federal agents like ICE at all. According to Vance, federal agents, ICE agents, IRS agents, soldiers, etc. are all immune from civil penalties like state laws against murder.[v] And that, folks, is textbook King George-ism. 


If King George did not hold his soldiers accountable for wrongs against the colonists, the colonists are incapable of doing so because British soldiers are immune from colonial penalties. 


It ought to raise the hair on your arms. 

 

SPEAKS LIKE A DRAGON 


There is only one way to make sense of it all. 


The Bible says that America begins lamb-like. It comes up out of the new world, out of the land (Revelation 13:11); it is not one of the nations that came out of the waters of the old world (Daniel 7). It is a place of refuge for the woman who fled from the persecution of the Papacy. But the Bible says that for all of these positive attributes it will speak like a dragon – Revelation 13:11. Since a nation speaks through its legislative bodies, the Bible reveals that we will see many oppressive and even imperialistic laws today and in the future. 


You will never hear this from big-box Christianity with its repetitive, hypnotic 7-11 music and its near illiteracy of the Bible. But the Bible warns that the benevolent mighty power which was the envy of the world will change. It will “speak like a dragon” – Revelation 13:11. What does that mean? Who or what is “the dragon”? And how will America speak like it? 


The dragon, the Roman empire mentioned in Revelation 12, and the empire which held dominion at the time of Christ’s life on this earth, was not merely a pagan power. No, it was an imperialistic power. Writing of the same power, the prophet Daniel saw the great iron teeth of the Roman empire. 


After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns – Daniel 7:7. 


Daniel saw its cruelty. It’s force. It’s imperialism. He saw the law of iron. And in declaring that the lamb-like beast will “speak like a dragon”, the Bible accurately predicted the developments of today. 


Stephen Miller also unknowingly referenced Bible prophecy about the lamb-like beast: it will control buying and selling. It will control or coerce whole countries and impose its will on their economies. It will “causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name” – Revelation 13:16, 17. The Bible prophesies that America will impose restrictions on commerce, and impose the mark of the beast on the whole world. 


Miller boasts that Venezuela cannot run its economy or do commerce without the consent of America, and that sure sounds like Revelation 13. But this control is small scale compared to what is coming. Palantir. Google. Microsoft. Alphabet. Visa. Mastercard. Hosts of other American and international companies are involved in building the global digital prison prophesied in Revelation 13. 


You need to wake up and realize that Bible prophecy is true, and the only way to make sense of this mad world is by the Word of God. It is given to you for your sake because the God of the universe wants you personally to understand what is happening, and what is about to happen. 


Seizing the oil of a sovereign nation but leaving its communist government intact. Demanding Greenland. Economic controls. Absolute immunity. There is much more to come.

MAY 17, 2026: REDEDICATION AND THE IMAGE OF GOLD

By Wings of Liberty • May 6, 2026
Nearly six hundred years before the birth of Christ something occurred in ancient Babylon which symbolizes the final events of our day. The most powerful king in the world at that time erected a statue of gold on the plain of Dura, and called the dignitaries of his kingdom to come bow down and worship it. The Bible says that they “were to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up” – Daniel 3:3. Carefully note the wording. Nebuchadnezzar’s dedication of the image was a service which blended worship and patriotism: Religious Nationalism. Church and state. Attendance and participation were mandatory. The statue symbolized a golden age that would never end. It was not just a civil idea, it was a religious idea, in direct response, a rejection, to the dream Nebuchadnezzar had in Daniel 2. The ceremony of the dedication of the image in Daniel 3 was a religio-nationalist event. Failure to worship the image was not only unpatriotic, it was a capital crime, punishable by execution in a fiery furnace. See Daniel 3:1-6. Daniel was a book sealed – Daniel 12:4. Revelation is a book opened – Revelation 5:5. Revelation, in other words, explains the book of Daniel and its prophetic significance to us. Revelation 13 maps out a repeat of the events of Daniel 3 and 6, but on a worldwide scale. The healing of the deadly wound to the papal power – this is finished. We have already passed it in the dust of history. It occurred in 1929 when civil power was restored to the Vatican, uniting church and state. Next is the setting up of the image to the papal power. Church and state. In Daniel 3, the three Hebrew worthies face a religious-political test. In Daniel 6, Daniel faces a similar political and religious test. The Lord is informing us of what is to come. In Revelation 13 we have the explanation. The Bible declares: Revelation 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, 14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. 15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. Fast forward from Babylon to our day, more than two and a half millennia later. The most powerful man in the world is calling the country to the re-dedication of the nation. Re-dedication to what??? Rededication to its founding principles? Rededication to the separation of powers? Apparently not, for the three branches of government are collapsing into the power of the executive branch. Rededication to the separation of church and state? Negative. Rededication to liberty of conscience? Nope. Freedom of religion? No. None of these. The meaning of Trump’s “Golden Age” is the same as in ancient Babylon: permanence and power. It is not a civil service alone that is planned. No, there is a religious element to this service, as there was in Daniel 3. There is mention of a god. Re-dedication to God. This is religio-political language. The rededication of the nation to God. And that is the same forbidden ground that Nebuchadnezzar trod on more than two and a half thousand years ago during the height of ancient Babylon and its golden image which was supposed to herald a golden age. The parallels are astonishing. Striking. Too clear to miss. To blend religion and civil governance is to make an image to that oppressive and despotic papal power which ruled the world for 1260 years. Revelation prophecies that the “lamb-like beast” which comes up out of the earth will make an image to the papal power. That means America – which is built on a separation of church and state – will reunite church and state once more in violation of its founding principles. This is happening right now. The world will change forever on May 17, 2026. Church and state are uniting, and the nation, in violation of its founding principles and the First Amendment, will gather to rededicate civil society to God. With a union of church and state will come the push for religious legislation, because if the nation is dedicated to a god, then it will next attempt to enforce the observance and worship of that god. The blessings of God have been showered on America, but always on the condition that it maintain its covenant to safeguard liberty of conscience and the separation of church and state. The blending of church and state violates that covenant and will lead to a marked deterioration in every aspect of society. Babylon is fallen, is fallen – Revelation 14:8. The mark is coming – the requirement that Sunday be sanctified. That is the mark of papal power – the contended change of the fourth commandment. Revelation 14 contains the last warning to humanity: Revelation 14:9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. 12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

World leaders tend to have inflated egos. Familiarity with worldly power and the ability to command armies and multitudes tends to go to their head. But as arrogant and narcissistic as the average head of state is, few of them claim to be god. That class of elite arrogance is usually reserved for a select group of the great megalomaniacs of history. 1 Pharoah in Egypt right before his country was destroyed by the ten plagues. Herod before he was eaten by worms, right after the multitudes declared, “it is the voice of a god, and not a man” – Acts 12:22. Papa Doc Duvalier in Haiti, who rewrote the Lord’s Prayer to give worship to himself – “Our Doc, Who art in the National Palace…/Hallowed be Thy name…/Thy will be done at Port-au-Prince and in the provinces/Give us this day our new Haiti/and never forgive the trespasses of the antipatriots who spit every day on our country”. Pharoah. Herod. Alexander the Great, who is rumored to have drowned in his own vomit. Papa Doc. And Donald Trump.  Long tending towards delusions of deity, the president released an end time signal picture on April 12, 2026 on his own platform, “Truth Social”.

HORMUZ STRAIT-JACKET, OVERWHELMING SURPRISE

By Wings of Liberty • March 30, 2026
The following paragraph was penned over 120 years ago, but accurately describe the events of our world today. And tomorrow. In the last scenes of this earth’s history, war will rage. There will be pestilence, plague and famine. The waters of the deep will overflow their boundaries. Property and life will be destroyed by fire and flood. We should be preparing for the mansions that Christ has gone to prepare for them that love Him. Maranatha, 174 (1897). … It is March 30, 2026. The Strait of Hormuz, a corridor through which a third of global shipping once passed, i has been largely closed to traffic for thirty days. The population at large has yet to realize the full catastrophic implications of this closure. When they do, they are likely to panic. In the weeks leading up to the commencement of the war in Iran, the price of a barrel of West Texas Intermediate fluctuated between $55 and $66/barrel. Today, it is $101.56/barrel. Brent crude is even higher, surpassing $115/barrel as of the time of writing. The Strait of Hormuz is the conduit for 40% of global fertilizer shipments, and 50% of urea shipments. 50% of global sulphur, used in pesticides, insecticides, and fungicides, come through the Strait of Hormuz. All such traffic is at a standstill. Already struggling farmers are confronted with the twin spectres of rapidly rising fuel costs and limited fertilizer. Maybe the timing of the invasion of Iran is just a coincidence. Maybe it was unforeseen that Iran would close the Strait of Hormuz if it was attacked. Maybe the people who plan wars don’t have sophisticated war gaming capabilities and artificial intelligence war simulators which project likely outcomes. Or maybe, if the elites who want a global population collapse could pick any moment to interrupt shipping traffic and create conditions for widespread famine on planet earth, they would pick the spring planting season. Coincidence or not, in addition to the cessation of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, China has also restricted fertilizer exports. ii Suddenly, the prospect of famine in various places globally is rising. To say that people are unprepared would be a gross understatement. Grocery stores in the western world stock approximately 3 days worth of food. Nearly all domestic food transportation globally runs on diesel. On February 23, 2026, the U.S. retail diesel price was $3.809 per gallon. By March 23, 2026, it had risen to $5.375 per gallon. Those costs will be passed on to consumers sooner or later, and inflation will erode the savings and financial stability of the population. Nations are being squeezed. Many countries in Asia have implemented fuel rationing. Sri Lanka has introduced a QR-code-based rationing system limiting private cars to 15 litres per week. Bangladesh restricts motorcycle purchases to 2 litres per day and private cars to 10 litres per day. Myanmar has instituted an "odd-even" rationing system for fuel purchases based on vehicle registration numbers. Cambodia has seen significant closures with a third of petrol pumps shut down. South Korea has ordered public servants to reduce passenger car use and capped refined fuel exports. Thailand has encouraged remote work, limited air conditioning to 26°C, and suspended fuel exports. Vietnam is encouraging remote work and limiting personal vehicle use, while some smaller stations have temporarily closed due to declining supplies. Nepal has limited the use of official vehicles to essential services and is considering an odd-even system for private vehicles. Pakistan has reduced available fuel for government vehicles by half. We have repeatedly been told that the war in Iran will be over quickly. But US soldiers were informed by their commanding officers that this war will bring in Armageddon. If the theocons who control the White House are anticipating Armageddon, why would anyone think that this is going to be a transitory situation? Or that everything will go back to normal if the Iran issue is resolved? The reality is that a paradigm shift has taken place in the upper echelons of power in America. There is now a union of church and state, and the Iran war is a religious war. A “holy war”, at the conclusion of which the theocons claim will usher in a “golden age” of peace and prosperity. Stock markets and political analysts have yet to understand, or even begin to consider, what this means in all its various ramifications. In the meantime, we propose that readers watch the following video on food scarcity, and seriously consider taking steps to plant a garden soon. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=c77M4mC7yLg ________________________________________________ i https://www.etcgroup.org/content/experts-warn-strait-hormuz-fertilizer-and-fuel-blockage-could-lead-global-food-crisis ii https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/china-restricts-fertiliser-exports-further-crimping-war-tightened-supply-2026-03-19/
