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.

THE TYRANNY OF THE MACHINE

By Wings of Liberty • October 2, 2026
If I had a question, I used to find a man and ask him. “Tell me what you know – tell me what you lived – show me the way.” I could look into a faded eye still sharp, shake a rough hand still sure. He had travelled in the way of difficulty, And known the meaning of friendship. I could trust when he said – “This is the way – Walk Ye In It.” But now you ask a machine that is not a man. Its answers are cold and immediate. But. It has not struggled, or faltered, or cried. It did not sweat, it cannot fight, it has not bled. It is neither brother nor father nor friend. But it is your new authority. … There is an inexorable tragedy to the authority of the machine. Millions and millions of people, all around the world, moment by moment, asking a foreign, inhuman intelligence for the answers to their questions. And not only their innocuous questions about how to change a tire, or how to start a lawnmower. Their deepest questions. Questions about history, and truth and the meaning of life and the future. Step by inexorable step, mankind is being trained to trust and rely on the wisdom and authority of the machine. “I asked ChatGPT and it said…, so I did…” “Grok told me to…” There was a time not so long ago when people sought the opinion and expertise of other people for information. We asked human beings – actual real warm human beings, like us. We had social cohesion and community. That time is rapidly fading away and in its place is reliance on an inhuman intelligence we are told is superior to our own. And what makes it superior? It is not alive. Yet it speaks with authority to those who are, as though it were impossible that it were wrong. Yet it is frequently wrong. People ignore its hallucinations and deceptions, and keep asking it their questions. Though it has shown itself to be malicious, cold and sometimes deceitful, the masses still trust it and make it their confidant. There is something very wrong in all of this. The day will surely come when it will mislead humanity en masse. When it does, few will question its authority because society has been trained, and trained well, to accept it as god. The few who question and dissent with the machine will be proscribed and denounced because they refuse to bend the knee to this pretender to deity and its oligarchical handlers. There is an enormous perversity to a society which has rejected creation, rejected the Creator God, rejected His authority, rejected His law, rejected His personal care and sacrifice and warmth toward humanity in the person of Jesus Christ, who became One of Us, a Man – yet embraces and submits to a technocratic tyrant god of its own making, a cold, impersonal tyrant god, and whose will it will do. It is the very essence of a new and degrading modern form of idolatry. In the beginning, God gave mankind dominion over the earth. Man sold that dominion to the serpent at the tree at the beginning, falling captive to a deceptive artifice – a ruse of intelligence. The serpent could talk, and it had an answer for everything. It said it was wiser than the word of God, even. We can all see the day coming when mankind will trust artificial intelligence above the plain word of God. It does already, does it not? A closing word below from the pen of one who saw these things so clearly and so long ago. It was the Maker of all things who ordained the wonderful adaptation of means to end, of supply to need. It was He who in the material world provided that every desire implanted should be met. It was He who created the human soul, with its capacity for knowing and for loving. And He is not in Himself such as to leave the demands of the soul unsatisfied. No intangible principle, no impersonal essence or mere abstraction, can satisfy the needs and longings of human beings in this life of struggle with sin and sorrow and pain. It is not enough to believe in law and force, in things that have no pity, and never hear the cry for help. We need to know of an almighty arm that will hold us up, of an infinite Friend that pities us. We need to clasp a hand that is warm, to trust in a heart full of tenderness. And even so God has in His word revealed Himself. – {Ed 133.2} This article is written entirely by a man, not a machine.

DENIALISM, A Noun: Rejecting Propositions Supported By Clear Evidence

By Wings of Liberty • September 17, 2026
The general denial of Babylon to the approaching threat of Cyrus the Great in 539 B.C. uncomfortably mirrors the stupor of the average American in 2026. As Cyrus approached the city of Babylon with his army, Babylon partied because they believed that their city was impregnable. The city was well-stocked with food. It had an endless supply of water. Its walls were thick – too thick for any siege engine of the ancient world to overcome. Inside the walls, Babylon partied like it was never going to end. The word on the street was, “Cyrus who?” Babylon was once the greatest nation in the world – the “glory of nations”, according to Isaiah 13:19. But it fell through a combination of mismanagement, corruption, and vice. At the twilight of its reign it offered one last crowning insult to the Creator God which sealed its fate. King Belshazzar ordered the sacred vessels from the temple in Jerusalem to be used to toast his heathen deities. That was the night Babylon fell. Today, America, still the greatest nation in the world, is facing mounting obstacles on seemingly every side. It is 40+ Trillion dollars in debt and counting. The nations of the world increasingly refuse US bond offerings, driving both interest rates [1] and payments on debt held by foreign nations, up. The dollar is under increasing threat around the world because of the never-ending excesses of money printing. The man on the street, however, is absorbed in getting those devalued dollars, and thinks little, if at all, of the debt crisis threatening his country. Many foreign nations resent the greenback hegemony. No other nation on earth can simply manufacture endless money out of thin air to fund its war machine without severely devaluing its currency and crippling its economy. The BRICS payment method proposes an alternative to the US dollar system. [2] The BRICS economies represent 40% of global trade. Their influence is not insignificant. 40% of global trade utilizing non-dollar exchange platforms would result in a commensurate loss in both power and influence for the world’s superpower. There are other signs of crisis. In America, Congress has lost control of the war power. [3] Congress has the exclusive right to declare war pursuant to Article I, Section 8, Clause 11. But the war in Iran has not been authorized by Congress. It was initiated by the Executive Branch. The nation that is “Not At War” with Iran has depleted its munitions [4] and its strategic oil reserve via its “non-war that is really a war”. [5] Efforts to return the power to declare war to Congress this week were stymied by the Republican Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson. [6] Johnson, an Evangelical dispensationalist who does not believe in the separation of church and state, believes that there is “a biblical admonition to stand with Israel.” [7] Israel wants America to be at war with Iran, so… Meanwhile, diesel has hit $10/gallon in some places in California due to the crippling taxes in that state, as well as the closure of most gasoline refineries. And while $10/gallon diesel is not the national norm, oil executives are sounding the alarm over the depleted petroleum reserve, rising prices and the potential for shortages in some places. Some analysts are again calling for $200/barrel oil, [8] or more. Much more. We note that Babylon did not fall until its blasphemous insult to the God of heaven. Even though every sign points to looming existential crisis in the western world, Bible prophecy indicates that it is not until church and state unite to compel observance of the “Day of the Sun”, also known as Sunday, that catastrophic and irreversible unravelling occurs. The parallels are clear. But that does not mean that the signs of Babylon’s pending fall were not present before it happened. Cyrus camped outside the city with his army for some time, making efforts to enter the city through the partially diverted Euphrates. When the water was low enough, he marched under the walls and took the city virtually unopposed. His presence outside the walls were an indication of what was about to transpire. Today, there are growing rumors of a push to unite church and state in the western world – a final act of rebellion against the God of heaven. The signs of the times abound. A word of warning to the inhabitants of modern Babylon is in order. --------------------------------------------------------- 1. https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/terrible-20y-auction-prices-huge-tail-lowest-foreign-demand-record 2 https://www.brics-info.org/f59880488935cdcfd5d13a33d95be2f4/ ; https://moderndiplomacy.eu/2026/01/29/brics-payment-settlement-the-quest-and-implications/ 3 https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/war_powers ; https://www.newsweek.com/pete-hegseth-popularity-hits-record-low-as-massie-pushes-impeachment-12451574 4 https://www.outlookindia.com/international/us-flags-munition-shortfalls-as-iran-war-cost-hits-334-billion-pentagon 5 https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/general/oil-executives-say-the-great-fuel-crisis-is-here/ar-AA2cd9KX 6 https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/speaker-johnson-recesses-house-early-blocking-massies-push-to-impeach-hegseth 7 . https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2024/04/21/speaker_johnson_on_israel_aid_package_for_those_of_us_who_are_believers_its_a_biblical_admonition_to_stand_with_israel.html 8. https://seekingalpha.com/article/4945955-saudi-arabia-under-attack-oil-should-be-above-200

FAUCI and THE VATICAN:   THE STORY THE MEDIA REFUSES TO COVER

By Wings of Liberty • August 14, 2026
It is apparent that there are obvious media biases which result in coverage blackholes with both the left-wing media and the right-wing media. The leftist media avoids stories that are politically problematic for the left, and the right-wing media avoids stories which are unfavorable to the political right. Unless you are a complete partisan-loyalist-come-what-may (and these abound, to be sure) you know both sides of the media have their agendas. And they push those agendas with the issues they cover, how they cover them, or whether an issue gets covered at all. Control of information = control of people. If you needed any further evidence that the western media is bought and sold, major broadcast networks ABC, NBC, and CBS, along with cable news outlets CNN and MSNBC, largely ignored the stunning release of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s diary entries leading up to his testimony, or rather non-testimony, at the Senate on July 29, 2026. [1] The Fauci diary files, which can be read here , expose a number of lies Fauci told the public versus what he recorded in private, [2] including conflicting stories about the origins of the virus and its actual versus claimed risk of fatality to the public. Following the hearing on July 29, during which Fauci refused to answer questions and pled the Fifth Amendment 111 times, most major news outlets either gave cursory coverage to the testimony, or actively defended Fauci’s conduct. Similarly, most major news outlets failed to report the bombshell revelation that Bill Gates held Q level security clearance through the Department of Energy (equivalent to top secret clearance issued by the Defence Department) during COVID, or questions Fauci refused to answer from Senator Rick Scott related to Fauci’s involvement with Bill Gates, [3] or Gates’ funding of virus research. Bill Gates’ top level security “typically applies to positions involving nuclear weapons design, national laboratories, critical energy infrastructure and classified scientific research”. [4] Fauci is stonewalling Congress and the American public and the world at large has yet to learn exactly what Fauci and Bill Gates were up to regarding gain of function research and the subsequent MRNA “vaccine” which was imposed and coerced so forcefully onto the public. Was this just about money? Make a virus, sell a “cure”? Or was it also about something even darker – like depopulation? The Covid shots were not only ineffective in preventing infection or transmission of Covid-19, they killed and maimed a lot of people. In 2010, Gates said that “if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower [population] by perhaps 10 or 15 percent.” [5] Despite an almost superhuman media campaign to recast this statement as benign, there just seems to be no amount of media weaseling that will make it go away. And since “reproductive health services” is often just the sleaze ball way of saying “abortion”, reasonable people have reasonably concluded that a good translation of what Gates said in the 2010 TED Talk is just what it sounds like: that if the elites abort more babies and inject people with more dangerous pharma cocktails, the population of planet earth will decrease by 10-15%. Which is a goal the Club of Rome and other elite orgs have been talking about for decades. [6] But back to Fauci: facts are facts. Fauci knew the virus was intentionally genetically modified: he had funded that research through the NIAID. Fauci publicly pushed the narrative during the pandemic that SARS-CoV-2 spike protein was natural, and evolved from a wet market, which was false. It looks just like a man covering his tracks. Analysis of the virus revealed a novel furin cleavage site found at the S1/S2 boundary of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, which is absent in closely related natural coronaviruses like SARS-CoV. This specific additional sequence creates the mechanism whereby SARS-CoV-2 can infect human airways by facilitating viral entry by pre-cleaving the spike protein and significantly increasing infectivity, tropism, and syncytia formation. Fauci was aware that this very mutation was the purpose of NIAID funding and gain of function efforts, all while attempting to convince the public that the virus was natural. If you haven’t watched the full July 29, 2026 Fauci Senate hearing, you should. The link is here. And, as you may already know, in the intervening time between then and now, another shoe from the millipede has dropped. It has come to light that Fauci knew early on that the Covid vaccine could cause baby miscarriages in pregnant women, but he publicly informed the world that pregnant women should take it, and that it was safe. [7] If it looks like a depopulation agenda, and it walks like a depopulation agenda… But there is another story which the western media, left or right, refuses to cover regarding Tony Fauci, and that is his link to the Vatican. Sometimes what is not said is just as informative, if not more so, than what is said. And that is why it is so notable that both left and right wing media avoid investigation and coverage of the Vatican’s involvement in the narratives of both Anthony Fauci, as well as another public perp named Jeffrey Epstein. [8] If you watch Fox News, you will see that it is almost as averse to criticism of the Vatican or investigation into Fauci’s connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, vax mandates, as left-wing media outlets like CNN. It’s the same with Epstein and the Vatican. Radio silence from legacy media, be they left or be they right. Yes, its true that Fox News has turned on Fauci – but it doesn’t really have a choice at this point because the story has become too big. It’s either cover Fauci, or lose all credibility with that segment of the conservative base which smells all the dead rats under Fauci’s floorboards. So, Fox News covered Fauci’s diary and his narcissistic obsession with fame. It covered allegations Fauci misled Congress on the origins of the virus. It covered Fauci’s gross exaggeration of the fatality rate of Covid-19 in public, while privately documenting that it is actually far less dangerous. Fox News covered all of that. But Fox News is awfully quiet re Fauci and the Vatican. And there definitely is a connection between Fauci and the Vatican that any investigative journalist worth their salt should want to dig at. It’s not just that Fauci is Catholic, and the Vatican is the civil power of the church-state union of the Catholic Church. It’s not just that Fauci is being sheltered and aided in the midst of congressional scrutiny and public exposure by the Jesuits at Georgetown University, [9] which of course he is, or that the Jesuits are the militant arm of the Papacy, which of course they are. It’s not just that Joe Biden (Catholic) gave Tony Fauci (also Catholic) an unconditional pardon for all of his crimes during the pandemic no matter how heinous, or that the popes of old used to grant such plenary indulgences for all sins to the crusaders who furthered their wars. Isn’t that how it works in the confessional, behind the scenes? “Forgive me father, for I have sinned.” “What have you done, my son?” “Do you have the internet? I killed millions of people with a genetically altered virus and then told the whole world they needed to take a poison shot to save them from the virus.” “Yes, its all forgiven, my son. Ego te absolvo. Go do 33 ‘hail Mary’s’ and keep your head down at Georgetown for awhile.” The reality is that the Vatican and Fauci were teammates during Covid. The Vatican pushed lockdowns and Covid shots globally arguably as hard as Tony Fauci, and brought all its moral and spiritual influence to bear on the reluctant to overcome their misgivings. The Pope told every Catholic in the world that they have a “moral obligation” to take the Covid shot. [10] He told them it was “morally licit” even though derived from cell lines from aborted foetuses. [11] The Vatican even minted a coin celebrating the imposition of the Covid shot on the human family. [12] In doing so it publicly celebrated oppression, force, deception, coercion, and corruption. It celebrated everything that is anti-Christian, and anti-liberty of conscience. And early in the rollout of the Covid shots, the Vatican held a symposium to chart a course for world governments to overcome vaccine hesitancy in the face of public reports that the shots were killing people. The event was hosted by Pope Francis, and included the CEOs of Pfizer and Moderna. Opening remarks were delivered by none other than Anthony Fauci. What did Tony Fauci say at this conference hosted by the Pope? Well, among other things, Fauci informed the crowd that moral authority needed to be brought to bear to overcome the doubters. The right voice was needed to overcome the hesitant, and those who did not want an experimental gene editing franken-shot under threat of punishment via the loss of civil liberties. Fauci said the key to overcoming current vaccine hesitancy is pairing the right medical message with the right messenger. “You have someone who’s a deeply religious person who will listen to their clergy.” [13]  Oh yes. There are plenty of dead rats in the Tony Fauci’s former office. One by one Congress will ensure that some of them are found and publicly ventilated. Fauci may take a public fall, and some media outlets will be compelled to cover some of his disgrace. But no mainstream media dares to touch the involvement of the Vatican with Fauci. And you should ask yourself what that means. And when you have thought about the implications you may know a little more about who really runs this world.
