The Dynasty of Darkness

Satan’s long serpentine trail through human history in the role
of successive Antichrists, and the imminent rise of his last-days kingdom

By Dr. Scott Lively

Introduction

The study contained in this book began as a hypothesis suggested by a film titled The Rape of Europe which discussed the occult roots of the European Union. The film drew a causative connection between the presence of the Altar of Pergamum (aka the Seat of Satan) and events in Germany following its excavation and removal to Berlin. Beginning as it does by asking whether the film’s suggestions could be supported Biblically, this work is necessarily speculative, but it is not eisegetical. It holds the Bible as the authority and simply asks whether the text confirms the hypothesis. There is no attempt to force the Scripture to fit the hypothesis, and in fact the hypothesis has been altered and refined as the truth of the matter has been more clearly revealed in the scripture. Contrary to the dogma of some denominations, there is no Biblical prohibition on speculation as to the meaning of Scripture.

Readers who have been conditioned by the materialistic orientation of the modern church to view spiritual matters with skepticism may have difficulty with this study. It treats as factual or plausible many ideas that have been mocked or mythologized in American popular culture for at least two generations, but which are fully Biblical in a literal reading of scripture as it would have been understood by the Apostles and their Disciples.

Chapter One:

Where Satan Dwells

“And to the angel of the church in Pergamum write: The One who has the sharp two-edged sword says this: ‘I know where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is; and you hold fast My name, and did not deny My faith even in the days of Antipas, My witness, My faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells” (Revelation 2:12-13).

“And there was war in heaven, Michael and his angels waging war with the dragon. The dragon and his angels waged war, and they were not strong enough, and there was no longer a place found for them in heaven. And the great dragon was thrown down, the serpent of old who is called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him” (Revelation 12:7-9).

“The LORD said to Satan, ‘From where do you come?’ Then Satan answered the LORD and said, ‘From roaming about on the earth and walking around on it’ ” (Job 1:7).

“Again, the devil took him up into an exceedingly high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And said unto him, ‘All these things will I give you, if you will fall down and worship me.’ Then said Jesus unto him, ‘Begone, Satan: for it is written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve’ ” (Matthew 4:8-10).

During the four-century gap between the end of the Old Testament and the beginning of the New Testament, an ancient prophecy of Daniel was partially fulfilled. The Seleucid King Antiochus IV Epiphanes, demonically possessed by Satan himself, tried to extinguish the worship of Jehovah God by the Hebrew people in Jerusalem.

His strategy was multifaceted. He corrupted the Levite priests with flattery, led the young men into moral compromise, and defiled God’s Temple with pig’s blood and other unclean things. Finally, he set up the “Abomination of Desolation” on the holy altar, foreshadowing the last days Antichrist of Revelation.

One heroic man, Judah Maccabees (Judah the Hammer), led a successful revolt against Antiochus and preserved the Hebrew religion and culture.

Roughly upon the death of Antiochus, his key political ally and mentor King Eumenes II of Pergamum built the Altar of Pergamum, which is described in Revelation Chapter 2 as “Satan’s Throne.”

“And to the angel of the church in Pergamum write: The One who has the sharp two-edged sword says this: ‘I know where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is; and you hold fast My name, and did not deny My faith even in the days of Antipas, My witness, My faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells’ ” (Revelation 2:12-13).

Satan’s Throne sits today in the Pergamum Museum in the center of Berlin, Germany after it was excavated and restored in the late 1800s. It became the property of the Germans shortly before German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche began preaching the satanic mantra “God is Dead.”

It’s acquisition was considered by Kaiser Wilhelm II to be the highest achievement of his rule — a regency which included (by some accounts) his surreptitious launch of World War I to divert public attention from a long series of criminal scandals at home. It was the inspiration for the design of Adolf Hitler’s Nuremberg Rally Complex, the ultimate expression in architecture of his satanic megalomania that gave us World War II and the Holocaust. (And, incidentally, it was the inspiration for the design of the stage on which candidate Barack Obama accepted the Democratic nomination for President of the United States in 2008.)

Satan’s Throne was owned by the Romans during the reign of its most grossly evil emperors, the Arabs during the rise of Islam, the Germans during Third Reich, the United States during the official displacement of Christianity by Secular Humanism, the Soviet Union during its decades as the “Evil Empire,” and the European Union from its inception to the present day.

Satan’s Throne?

Is the Biblical reference to the Altar of Pergamum as Satan’s Throne merely metaphorical, or is it literal? Did Satan actually dwell in Pergamum, or more specifically in or upon the Altar of Pergamum? Was the Altar his spiritual gateway into the material world? And if so, has it served that purpose thorough the ages, even to this very day? Is the Altar his exclusive dwelling place or have there been others?

This study posits that the center of evil in the world at any given moment in time is where Satan dwells and that this evil is manifested throughout history in the actions of a series of human rulers (or other men strategically situated to serve his interests) who fulfill the role of “Antichrist” under his direct influence — an influence which is somehow tied to their possession of or authority over Satan’s material dwelling place. Using these assumptions we will attempt to trace the history of Satan in the world.

The list of Antichrist figures presented in this first publication is incomplete, as this will be an ongoing study, but we believe enough of the chronology is provided to confirm the hypothesis on which it is based.

Before we begin to identify the individual persons who appear to fulfill the “office” of the Antichrist through the centuries we must address a few of our presuppositions and caveats.

First, that Satan is a finite, created being with limitations defined by God (Ezekiel 28:15).
Though he has great power, and an army of demonic angels at his command, he can only
be in one place at a time.

Second, while Satan is the king of the demonic realm and the most wicked of all creatures, he is not the only evil entity at work in the world (Revelation 12:7-9). There are many “principalities and powers” working to deceive, degrade and enslave human beings (2 Corinthians 10:3-6). The existence of more than one wicked ruler in the same time period is not an argument against one of them being the Antichrist.

Third, while the holy angels who serve God have the power to take human form and walk unnoticed among men (Hebrews 13:2), demons, including Satan, seem to have more limited access to the physical world and must “possess” living hosts, both human and animal (Matthew 8:28-32).

Fourth, at least some demons are based in specific geographic territories. This does not seem to be true of angels. While Michael the Archangel is identified in Daniel 12:1 as “the great prince who stands guard over the sons of your people” (by implication wherever they may be) the actual “prince of Israel” (the land) is a demon who will rule until the return of the Messiah (Ezekiel 21:25).

The Bible also speaks of the “Prince of Persia” (Daniel 10:13) and of specific towns and cities named after the Baal or “lord” that presides there: for example Baal Peor, named for a demon called Chemosh, worshipped by the Moabites (Num. 25:3-5), and “Baal-zebub [the Lord of the Flies], the god of Ekron” (2 Kings 1:16).

So, from the time of the expulsion from the Garden of Eden until the brief period in which he is allowed greater freedom by God to lead the last days rebellion (Revelation 13), it would seem that Satan’s influence in the world is limited to what he can accomplish through a human host.

Since we suppose that Satan was somehow tied to the Altar of Pergamum as his dwelling place, we will also ask where, if anywhere, did Satan dwell before the Altar was built for him. We will address several possible sites/structures in this study, including the very City of Babylon, whose name in the original Akkadian language means “Gate of God,” and which housed the Temple of Marduk (aka Bel or Baal).

Spiritual Portals

There is a theme interwoven throughout scripture of the phenomenon of specially constructed altars or other structures which serve as portals from the spiritual to the physical world.

The most important of these was, of course, the Tabernacle of God, within which is the Holy of Holies, which held the Ark of the Covenant, whose top is called The Mercy Seat. The Tabernacle had two separate altars, one for burning incense and the other for animal sacrifice. Each of these was specially constructed according to His detailed instructions (Exodus 25-31; 36-40). God’s presence was intimately associated with the Tabernacle in the form of a pillar of smoke by day and of fire by night (Exodus 40:34-38). The Tabernacle was the model for the Temple of God which was constructed much later.

God also instructed His people to make altars of un-hewn stone (Exodus 20:25). Long before the time of the Exodus, Abraham built such altars to God (Genesis 12:7, 8; 13:18) and the practice continued throughout the Old Testament.

Importantly, the Lord was not in any way limited in His access to the world, but these structures and the regulations related to them somehow facilitated His interaction with His people, and served as a protection to human beings who attempted to draw near to Him. Without them, the very Holiness of His presence would destroy them (Exodus 19:21-22; 20:19; Leviticus 10:1; 2 Samuel 6:7).

In a similar but far more restricted manner, those who worship demons access the spiritual world through physical altars and other structures. There are numerous examples in scripture but perhaps the most significant involves King Ahab of Israel who built both an altar and a temple to Baal in Samaria, the capital city of the Northern Kingdom of Israel.

Ahab, of course had married Jezebel, the daughter of King Ethbaal of Zidonia (1 Kings 16:31-33). Importantly, Ashtoreth, female counterpart to Baal was “the goddess of the Zidonians” (1 Kings 11:5). Thus the marriage of Ahab and Jezebel appears in this context to be the literal union of Baal and Ashtoreth (Satan and his bride, as it were), the man Ahab being possessed by the demon Satan and the woman Jezebel by the demon called Ashtoreth.

Ahab was considered by God the most wicked of all the kings of the House of Israel (though King Manasseh of the House of Judah may have surpassed him in wickedness — 2 Kings 21:1-16). In contrast, King Josiah of Judah was considered the most righteous of the Hebrew monarchs of either house. 2 Kings 23 and 2 Chronicles 34 offer extensive details of Josiah’s reforms, which emphasized the destruction of pagan altars and other sites and structures used to worship demons throughout Jerusalem and the surrounding hills as well as in the Temple of God. An enlightening glimpse at the spiritual defilement of the Temple is provided in Ezekiel’s vision in the Book of Ezekiel, Chapter 8.

We will examine the Antichrist role of various Judean and Israelite Kings more extensively later in this book. Our purpose here is simply to identify a few demonic spiritual portals to demonstrate that there is extensive Biblical support to the idea that demons can operate in the world in association with physical objects and structures.

Let us proceed then with our study of Antichrists through the ages.

End Chapter One

Its funny how seemingly random events can intersect in amazing ways. I’m working on adding graphics to the video version of the introduction and first chapter of “Dynasty of Darkness: Satan’s long serpentine trail through human history in the role of successive antichrists, and the imminent rise of his last days kingdom” which I’ll be releasing tomorrow morning (if all goes according to plan). The image I’m using on the front cover of the book is a vintage 1940ish photo of about _ Nazi officers gathering on the Pergamum Altar in Berlin for a group photo. The Pergamum Altar is the literal “Seat of Satan” of Revelation 2:13, excavated in Pergamus, Turkey in the late1800s and reassembled in Berlin’s Pergamum Museum built specially to house it. I contend that Adolf Hitler was an Antichrist, and highlight that he directed architect Albert Speer to design his infamous Nuremburg Rally Complex after the Pergamum Altar (the same design inspiration followed by Barack Obama for the stage on which he accepted the Democratic nomination for president in Denver in 2008).

As is my custom, I started my work session by scanning the coverage of current events on my favorite news websites while I drank my first cup of coffee. There, I stumbled on a story titled “State Department releases phone transcript of Hillary admitting she knew Benghazi was a planned attack.”

What’s amazing is that I was in Washington DC on the day of the Benghazi attack (which, in Eastern Standaed Time spanned 9/11 – 9/12, 2012) and the purpose of my trip was to search the captures Nazi photo collection at the National Archives. My best find was, wait for it, the photo of Nazi officers on the Seat of Satan.

What’s also amazing is that on the morning of 9/12 I was scheduled to shoot a video with Pastor Terry Jones in front of the White House condemning Barack Obama for his highly aggressive global push of the LGBT agenda. Pastor Jones – in the international spotlight for having just burned a Koran at his Florida church to highlight media hypocrisy about their coverage of Bible-burning by Muslims – was going to follow that stunt with a public showing of a new video by an Israeli Jew titled “The Innocence of Muslims” – which had the US media in a uproar at the same time Hillary’s staged Benghazi attack was scheduled. That’s the film Hillary blamed for the Benghazi attack, and Pastor Jones was forced to cancel our White House event to handle the resulting media demands for interviews.

You didn’t hear much about Pastor Jones after that, because the media shifted focus to the actual producer of the film, who had unrelated legal troubles that made him vulnerable to prosecution for making the film, and the perfect scapegoat for the entire scandal. Meanwhile, Hillary escaped unscathed from her conspiracy to stage a 9/11 false-flag terror event to cast herself and Obama as heroes despite the plan unraveling disastrously

Leviticus 23:10-12: “And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest: And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it. And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf an he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto the LORD.”

1 Corinthians 15:12-23: “Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain….But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.”

If war is politics by other means, then politics is war by regular means. And in both, strategy is everything. For a couple of years I’ve been reading through Bernard Cornwell’s very well written Richard Sharpe series, historical fiction about the British war with Napoleon. War tactics were very formulaic in that era. For example, if the assaulting infantry was going up against artillery, the troops would be spread across a line, but against cavalry, the troops would form a square. Both responses were to survive counter-attacks to one’s offense, minimizing the inevitable casualties.

I also confess a fondness for the real-time-strategy computer game Starcraft, which I discovered was an excellent diversion from the intense intellectual rigors of law school, years ago. I was surprised to find that it improved my analytical skills, realizing in retrospect that behind the colorful graphics and entertaining sci-fi story line, Starcraft was all mathematics – specifically, the mathematics of strategy and logistics. The game literally improved my mind just by playing it (which is by no means an endorsement of all video games).

I raise these things to set the context for defending President Trump in the “game” of political warfare with the Deep State. I am defending him against fellow constitutionalists and conservatives whose ideological approach to the culture war is not balanced with sufficient respect for the realities of “realpolitik.” It’s the old contest of purity vs pragmatism that continually rages on both ends of the left/right political spectrum. It is the reason why secular immigration policy purists like Ann Coulter and Matt Drudge turned against the president when he couldn’t close the border to illegals as quickly as they hoped.

Having run for Governor of Massachusetts, I have personal experience with the challenge of juggling multiple issues in a way that satisfies multiple constituencies, each with varying degrees of tolerance for anything less than perfect purity in support of their own policy priorities. I lean to the side of purity of principles – but I also understand that politics is by definition the realm of compromise and you can’t be a purist on everything or you’ll never be able to assemble a voting majority in an election.

The issue that defined my ministry for a quarter century was the LGBT agenda, and in my view openly pandering to “conservative” homosexuals is President Trump’s greatest error – but I also know that if he were to take as firm a position against the LGBT agenda as I have, he would stir up the Millennial generation’s army of “Social Justice Warriors” who have been brainwashed and conditioned since pre-school to view “homophobia” as the greatest of all possible social evils. I think Trump’s strategy is play both sides and let the sleeping SJW dogs lie, expecting many will simply stay home to smoke weed on election day .

And from a “realpolitik” perspective, I think he believes that the evangelical half of his political base would not be able to effectively defend him on the “gay rights” issue because we lost the war over “gay marriage” (although I think that’s a wrong view because it was corrupt SCOTUS swing-vote Anthony Kennedy that defeated us, not a popular majority of the citizens!). In the Trump household there’s the added problem of Ivanka’s pro-LGBT zealotry, bizarre in a convert to orthodox Judaism, but a virtual statistical certainty for a child raised in a secular home in New York City in the Bush-Clinton-Bush-Obama era. So, I see Trump’s stand as a glass half full, and believe that as Biblical values go, he’s a work in progress trending slowly in the right direction. (I urge prayer for Ivanka become pro-family).

There are potentially new political defections coming over the $2 Trillion stimulus bill, and that’s where I want to bring another dimension of strategic analysis into focus: the globalist advantage in air-power – the leftist corporate media – and why it was necessary for President Trump to propose the bail-out himself.

The problem with media is not the lack of alternate voices. Rush Limbaugh alone counter-balances a big part of the left. The problem is that the “legacy” media, which influences the 60% mushy middle (between the 20% of ideologues at either end of political spectrum) is entirely owned by center-left elites, who have now extended their controlling ownership into the social media industry. They are, unfortunately, the heirs of “Walter Cronkite trustworthiness” in the minds of the non-ideological middle, and that’s often the key to close elections. In the same way that tradition alone dictates “voting Democrat” for many American families, unquestioned tradition allows the legacy media to largely define reality for the 60%.

Trump is the first president to declare the media “enemies of the people” because he knows their power MUST be broken to stop our leftward slide. Soft and civil Reaganesque chiding of the media for “liberal bias” is not enough – they need to be shamed publicly to awaken their consumers to the severity of the problem.

And that strategy was working … until the globalist counteroffensive called Covid 19, a world-wide scorched-earth defense to stop Trump’s army of patriotic populists in their tracks. In military terms it was a disease-bearing cavalry charge to push the infantry into a defensive square and then an immediate massive artillery bombardment of the square. And over-arching the battle-field, an all-in media air-campaign to terrify the entire population into panicked stampede to speed the collapse of the civilian infrastructure and destroy our supply-lines. That’s why the media is our worst enemy.

When fighting a war, a general must adapt to actual conditions, and that is what our Commander in Chief has done. If he were merely to argue for calm and patience to the panic-stricken 60% – envisioning breadlines and homelessness as the media intended — he would seem impotent and their anxiety would grow. But instead he offered immediate tangible reassurance to the 60% that he would take care of them. It worked and the elites’ were thwarted once again.

Was the cause of constitutionalism harmed by such a vast increase of debt? Sadly, yes. Is this proof that Trump is part of the globalist plan? Ridiculous!

Harm in war is inevitable, and any tactic that keeps an advancing army on the field, is, on balance, a good one.

Video Summary: Dr. Scott Lively publishes an Open Letter to President Trump asking him to end the Covid-19 lockdowns for the sake of the constitution and the economic survival of the nation and argues that many true patriots would rather risk death to preserve liberty than have security under totalitarianism. He reads portions of Patrick Henry’s famous “Liberty or Death” speech to show how closely the current crisis parallels the issues and debate over British tyranny in the period preceding the Revolutionary War.

Article: An Open Letter to President Trump

Dear President Trump, I am one of your strongest supporters and have stood by you through every assault by our common enemies – the lying media, the evil Democrats, and the stupid Never Trumpers. I have done so because I believe your straight-talking, overtly masculine, anti-Globalist agenda is the only hope short for the survival of America short of God’s miraculous intervention – and indeed, I have frequently reiterated that I believe you are God’s man in the White House for such a time as this. Your pattern of triumphing over every strategy and tactic they have deployed – growing stronger and more prayerful with each battle – gives proof to that claim and gives strong encouragement to every patriot.

Whether this current pandemic was orchestrated to stop you from utterly defeating those enemies (as you are on track to do), or whether they are just taking advantage of a naturally occurring disease outbreak, the fact is they are now deliberately using it to take down the global economy and the only person who can stop them is you, Mr. President.

In the unprecedented chaos these enemies, especially the Trump-hating media, have created across the world and in our homeland, I fear that they may have created such a psychological trap for you in their “lockdown to takedown” strategy that you might actually defer to their forked-tongued “agents of expertise” like Fauci and surrender the fate of the economy into their malevolent unclean hands to avoid being blamed for American deaths they self-servingly predict.
As an American patriot, I beg you defy them, President Trump. Please follow your own instincts and reopen the economy! The true choice here is freedom or slavery for the citizens – and true patriots would rather have freedom with risk of death than life under totalitarianism.

No one made this case better than Patrick Henry in 1775, and so I now offer key excerpts from his most eloquent speech, verbatim, and ask you to simply substitute “globalist” wherever it reads “ British,” remembering that this speech was made in response to compelling arguments for security through appeasement. I now quote Mr. Henry’s retort:

“Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes
against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts. Is this
the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things which so
nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am
willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it.

I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past. And judging by the past, I wish to know what there has been in the conduct of the British ministry…to justify those hopes….Trust it not, sir; it will prove a snare to your feet…

[W]hat means this martial array, if its purpose be not to force us to submission? Can gentlemen assign any other possible motive for it? …They are meant for us: they can be meant for no other. They are sent over to bind and rivet upon us those chains which the British ministry have been so long forging. And what have we to oppose to
them? Shall we try argument? Sir, we have been trying that for … years. Have we anything new to offer upon the subject? Nothing.

Let us not, I beseech you, sir, deceive ourselves. Sir, we have done everything that could be done to avert the storm which is now coming on. …There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free — if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending – …we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of hosts is all that is left us!

They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot?

Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. The millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave.

Besides, sir, we have no choice. … There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our
chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable–and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come…

What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!” End of excerpt.

There are great lessons to be learned from this great crisis we now suffer – and we will truly never be the same as a people and an nation. The question is whether we will emerge as a Constitutional Republic or as a Socialist Empire.

If we surrender to the Socialists now – the deep blue “lock-down” governors of New York, California, Massachusetts, Illinois, Hawaii, Nevada, etc, by letting them continue to deny Americans our basic inalienable rights, or far worse to put all of America within their clutches with a national lockdown, then they will rule us forever.

I implore you, Mr. President: end the lock-downs, open the economy, and let the American people rebuild our nation before these enemies – both foreign and domestic – take us past the point of no return! Like our Founders, many of us are willing to risk our lives for Liberty! Let the fearful and high-risk sequester themselves in safety, but for the sake of God and our Constitution, Unleash the Brave and Resolute Patriots, Sir!

I ran for Governor of Massachusetts in 2018. If I had won, it would have been my responsibility to provide effective leadership during the Covid 19 outbreak. Following is the approach I would be taking. Some of this is obviously with benefit of hindsight, but most is just how my constitutionalist presuppositions and knowledge of geo-politics and the culture war would naturally play out.

First, because I assumed from the start that this crisis was being orchestrated to take down the Trump economy, I would have assembled a diverse brain-trust to “war-game” the likely scenarios regarding leftist strategies and tactics – and effective counter-measures – during the coming battle in my own state, and opened a dialogue with like-minded governors.

High on the priority list would be a) neutralizing the all-too predictable media fear-mongering and weaponization of the crisis for political gain through public-shaming on social media and in live demonstrations at media outlets, and b) bracing for economic shock waves which would be inevitable if this truly were the next campaign following the Russian Collusion Hoax and Impeachment Scam. These adversaries and powerful and they always punch hard: even though they can always eventually be beaten, they always do major damage first.

Second, I would NOT perpetuate the false notion that “it’s the government’s job to solve the problem” but would actively enlist the people in the battle from the start — in a sense deputizing whatever part of the population that would be willing to volunteer to fight the outbreak and giving them practical tasks to perform like sanitizing public spaces, monitoring elderly neighbors, and carrying a ready supply of face masks and fact sheets to give out to people with seasonal cold and flu symptoms. What we want are communities of self-reliant familes, not a population of serfs ruled by elite puppet-masters.

This is the opposite of the unconstitutional “lock down” strategy backed by police state surveillance and punishments.

This also means I would NOT look to the federal government as the all-powerful Nanny, but use the crisis to showcase my state-self-sufficiency model of government (that I campaigned on).

Third, I would closely monitor the data out of China and the earliest secondary infection sites regarding the nature of the disease and the most effective response mechanisms. Thus, I would have followed the highly successful South Korea and Taiwan models: targeting resources toward most-at-risk groups and most-likely-to-spread-disease activities (e.g., I would NEVER have approved Mardi Gras in New Orleans).

Early on we knew that the elderly were most severely impacted, so one of my first acts would be hardening nursing homes and retirement communities and ramping up preventative care measures. The next step would be travel restrictions and sheltering policies for the very elderly and those with serious health challenges.

Fourth, I would have hardened the entry points to my state and deny entry or quarantine anyone from known epicenters.

Fifth, knowing from the 2017/2018 flu season that hospital capacity and equipment was going to be a big issue, I would have given special focus on preparing additional beds and necessary resources in advance.

Sixth, as soon as the miracle drug hydroxychloroquine emerged, I would have quickly acquired and deployed it, not letting existing drug approval laws get in the way of treating the most severe cases with it. Frankly, if Democrat governors can suspend virtually the entire constitution to serve their fascist response model, I could suspend obstructionist drug policies, and would do without hesitancy for those likely to die under existing legal treatment options.

Seventh, and most importantly, I would have begun this campaign with a call for prayer and repentance, and urged the public to actively seek God’s intervention.

I would NOT ban church gatherings, but would recommend a quick shift to the Biblically superior small-group home-church model and convert the large church buildings and complexes into sanitary refuge centers for infected but asymptomatic persons.

Dr. Lively argues that New York City is presently reaping the whirlwind that Brooklyn-based US Senator Chuck Schumer threatened against Supreme Court Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh just three weeks ago. Lively points out that under Biblical legal principles, the punishment for bearing false witness against another is to suffer the same legal consequences the crimes they falsely alleged. On March 4th Schumer promised they would reap a “whirlwind [so severe] … You won’t know what hit you.”

The crime at issue is the capital crime of murder — per the pro-abortion narrative that women will die if Roe v Wade is reversed. Because Schumer represents a political entity that recently passed an horrific new baby-killing law, God’s sentence would apply to those under that corrupt leadership. Dr. Lively laments that the people of New York must suffer the consequences of their rulers’ actions but predicts that when all is said and done, NYC will have the highest casualties of any city in America.

Dr. Lively made this video on March 27th but felt compelled to delay publishing it to his blog and email newsletter. Later that day he discovered the New York Times editorial calling for more abortions during the pandemic and knew that this fact needed to be included in the record.

He wanted also to include a caveat to his prediction about the Coronavirus death toll in New York City, to wit, New Orleans will be a close contender for most deadly consequences due to its role as host of the annual Mardi Gras celebration of debauchery, which became the epicenter of infections in the South.

Sexual perversion and child killing: the two categories of sin that God explained to the Hebrews in Leviticus 18 were His justification for His expulsion from the Holy Land of the Canaanites. They are represented today in America by New York City and New Orleans.

THE BIBLICAL CASE AGAINST NEW YORK

Even now, New Yorkers could be spared by repenting of their evil.

Video Summary: Dr. Lively describes a dream in which he was about to be murdered in prison by a gang of hardened convicts and asked three very basic questions to those would-be killers that stopped them cold. He then applies the lessons from that dream to the current war of aggression by the global Marxist elites against this Constitutional Republic called America, which he asserts is the pinnacle of Judeo-Christian civilization.

Article: When I was a fairly new Christian I had a short but very powerful dream. I was in jail, about to be killed by a gang of hardened convicts, and my only thought was how to convert them to God first. Then out of my mouth came three simple questions:

Is there a God?

What does He want?

What happens if you don’t do what He wants?

No deep theology. No details of the Gospel. Just a direct challenge to the most primal part of the human mind about actions, consequences and authority. I later recognized this as a practical application of Proverbs 1:7: “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.”

My ministry of common-sense preaching and teaching on current events, history and theology from a strong pro-Trump constitutionalist perspective attracts a lot of people who don’t like organized religion, or who believe in God but don’t “go to church.”

Believe me, I know exactly where you’re coming from, and I think there are major problems in modern Christianity across the entire denominational spectrum. In my perspective, man-created doctrines, rituals, and the “religious corporation” form and function of today’s church are far from the Biblical model. And on top of that, the services are often so BORING that the only people who can sit through them are those who equate personal suffering with spirituality.

Worship is not supposed to be like that. And Christianity is not supposed to be compartmentalized and separated from all the other spheres of life. The true Christian life is spiritually organic and experientially omni-faceted – meaning we are supposed to be “in the world” in every sense of the word, but not “of the world.”

All of my commentaries analyze issues from the Biblical worldview and usually from the nationalist geo-political worldview as well, because I believe that this Bible-based, non-sectarian but God-honoring Constitutional Republic called the United States of America is the pinnacle of human civilization – the model for the world – and that the current effort to destroy America is the outworking of the Satanic agenda in the form of an all-out Marxist war of aggression against us.

Never forget that their vision is a Godless Global Socialist Order in which we are all slaves to the state, not Creations of a loving God; and to achieve that goal they must convince Americans that our national motto — “In God We Trust” – is just empty words. Whose side are you on? Because there are only two in this war for all the marbles.

So I’m issuing a challenge to all the “non-religious” men and women who love America and hate Marxism to set aside all your bad experiences with “organized religion” and skeptical opinions from confusing clericalism and fake Christianity from the real thing to just answer the three questions for yourself.

Is there a God? Deep down you know there is, because the One who made you put His signature on your heart! Don’t confuse “admitting God exists” with agreement to any other doctrines.

What does He want? He wants you to find that out for yourself and not from false or inept teachers.

What happens if you don’t do what He wants? In this world you unintentionally give aid and comfort the the enemy, both foreign (Satan) and domestic (the global Marxist elites). And in the end, you have to spend eternity with them, instead of the rest of us who did what God wanted (to the best of our limited ability).

Pray for His direct guidance, my Friend, and read your Bible, starting with the Gospel of John all the way up to Revelation, then go back to Genesis 1:1 and read the whole thing through Revelation. If you have questions or want help working things out, I’m available at scottlivelyministries@gmail.com.

Dr. Lively talks about the $2 Trillion Coronavirus Bailout, the globalists’ efforts to collapse the world economy, and the geopolitical and prophetic implications of both if the bailout isn’t enough to stop the global debt bubble from bursting before there is time to fix the economy through a shift to conservative fiscal policies and restoration of our manufacturing base during the second Trump term.

Every politically conscious person in America still capable of honesty must admit that the media response to the Coronavirus Pandemic would be far, far different under Barack Obama than it has been under Donald Trump. That’s not conjecture, because we saw a nearly identical scenario play out with our own eyes during the H1N1 Swine Flu pandemic of 2009.

For example, on April 29, 2009, CNN painted the public risk as vanishingly small: “An outbreak of swine flu that is suspected in more than 150 deaths in Mexico and has sickened dozens in the U.S. and elsewhere has grabbed the attention of a nervous public and medical officials worried the strain will continue to spread…But even if there are swine-flu deaths outside Mexico, the virus would have a long way to go to match the 36,000 seasonal flu deaths in the U.S. each year.”

Wow – night and day – compared to their present faux-hysteria!

Interestingly, the media did not go after Trump during the 2017-2018 winter flu season, when CNN matter-of-factly cited the Centers for Disease Control that it had been the worst in more than four decades, hospitalizing 900,000 people and killing 80,000.
But that was during the height of the Russian Collusion Hoax, when they thought they had Trump on the ropes and were pressing in for the knock-out punch. They weren’t going to risk any other news story pushing Russian Collusion out of the headlines or give Trump a platform for showing unifying leadership in a national crisis.

It’s also significant that none of the liberal media are even citing the 2017/18 numbers in contrast to the current pandemic: 80,000 deaths out of 900,000 hospitalizations (both CDC approximations), which is a huge percentage – 8.9% – a higher lethality than coronavirus in the US, which has actually been dropping. [UPDATE: the figure of 900,000 was later updated by the CDC from 900,000 down to 710,000, increasing the mortality rate to 11.3% of hospitalizations.]

But this is a whole new playing field. Trump emerged from the Russian Collusion Hoax, then the Impeachment Scam, stronger than ever, and so the global elites have resorted to the extreme remedy of burning down the world economy – what I have called “Globalist Chemotherapy” – hoping to kill the “Trump Cancer” without killing themselves.

Meanwhile, as of Monday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the Senate Dem leadership are actively obstructing a trillion dollar coronavirus bailout that under any other circumstances they would be cutting off their own limbs to get Republican support for.

What could possibly be wrong with the minds of all these people?

The obvious answer is Trump Derangement Syndrome – a label coined as a joke that stopped being funny a long time ago and started looking like a real and very scary disease of the mind, characterized by a burning, frenzied malice that blinds the infected to reason and rationality.

As King Theoden proclaimed (in the movie “Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers”) of the vast and vicious Ork army besieging his stronghold at Helm’s Deep “What can men do against such reckless hate?” Indeed.

I have contended from the beginning – starting January 31st to be precise — that this very real pandemic has been orchestrated by the globalists to tank the Trump economy, kill the nationalist/populist revolution around the world and usher in police-state controls under the cover of a medical emergency.

Most recently I argued that the total lockdown strategy by California and New York, followed immediately by Illinois and Massachusetts (the four deepest blue states) were a deliberate overreaction to create a stampede of state governors into lock-down mode and pressure Trump to do the same nationally. (The latter is not happening as yet, thankfully.) I suggested the purpose was to kill American small businesses which are the backbone of the conservative movement, and, along with the institution of the family, the dual source of American self-sufficiency and independence.

I highlighted the obvious political motive by pointing out that abortion clinics and marijuana dispensaries – heavily patronized by their most loyal Democrat constituents – were exempted from the lockdown, which logically would increasing their risk of infection and death if the panic-mongering projections were true, rather than cynical propaganda.

This morning, the Holy Spirit prompted me, with a clear internal voice, to look into the suicide rate of those driven to hopelessness by the fear-mongering and consequent disastrous financial fallout of the lockdowns. That spiritual unction was vindicated as soon as I searched the topic, finding a story titled “Chillingly, Scariest Coronavirus Death Toll May Not Come from COVID-19” documenting the high correlation of suicide with job loss. The correlation was also noted in an otherwise very hopeful article featuring a Stanford biophysicist (and Nobel laureate) predicting a quick end to the pandemic based on proven stats from China.

So in a very real sense, Trump Derangement Syndrome, might very well kill far more people through suicide and depression-related illnesses than the coronavirus does. But even if it doesn’t, the damage they’ve done to this country through deliberate exaggeration and fear-mongering will be lasting and painful for this nation. To be clear, “social distancing” and continual sanitizing is just good common sense and we shouldn’t minimize the risk of this very serious disease, but deliberately compounding the problem by spreading panic, suspending basic constitutional rights, and decimating small businesses is a “cure” worse than the disease.

There’s a silver lining to the present disaster, however. I’ve always believed Donald Trump will win reelection handily, but now I believe it will be an absolute rout, because once the actual hard numbers on the pandemic replace the wild projections and media spin, the American people, standing in the economic ruins of their communities, are going to be very angry at the lefties. Trump has already won the political battle over the pandemic with high public approval numbers. By November, he’s going to be utterly unbeatable.

Video Summary: Dr. Scott Lively contends that a major target of the globalist elites in the orchestrated coronavirus pandemic is small business because it is a cornerstone of American self-sufficiency and serves as a barrier to the complete Marxist takeover of our society. He argues that the bogus state total-lockdown strategy is specifically intended to harm small businesses, many of which operate on slim profit margins and may not survive the lockdown. He highlights the political motive of the Cali and NY Governors who initiated the strategy by pointing out that abortion clinics and marijuana dispensaries are exempted from the close-your-doors-under-penalty-of-arrest orders.

Dr. Lively asks and answers the question “quo bono” (who benefits?) with commentary on the Purple Uniparty of co-conspirator Dem and GOP elites, representing them as Socialists and Predatory Corporatists, and the model of globalism they seek to restore in a post-Trump era as the Communist China model that emerged after the Bush/Clinton NAFTA sellout.

Article:

We conspiracy analysts and investigators have all been beating the same drum about the most obvious target of the coronavirus orchestrated pandemic – President Trump – and that is the most important trumpet to be sounding during this crisis.

But there’s a another critical target that only came into clear focus with the implementation of the Dems bogus state lockdown strategy: small businesses. Next to the institution of the natural family, Small Business is the most critical cornerstone of American self-sufficiency and the totally unwarranted and in my opinion utterly unconstitutional order to cease operations is a direct assault on millions of family-owned and other small business enterprises. Many of these businesses operate on slim profit margins and will struggle to survive if not go under – not because of the disease – but because of the lockdown, whose only justification is leftist and neo-con media-created panic (and I specifically include the once trustworthy Drudge Report in that hall of shame).

We already knew the lockdown strategy was politically motivated because it was led by Dem state governors in Cali and NY who never do anything without a political motive. But our conclusions were immediately confirmed by the news that these governors have exempted abortion clinics and marijuana dispensaries from the close-your-doors-under-penalty-of-arrest order. How’s that for a coronavirus spit in the face to conservatives and constituionalists.

In unraveling conspiracies it is always helpful to ask “Quo Bono?” (Who benefits?)

Who benefits from the crippling of small business in America? There are two primary benefactors who just happen to be the two partners in the Purple Uniparty of American politics:
Socialists and Predatory Corporatists – to put a clearer face on it, the Clintons and the Bushes are the poster-children for this conspiracy, but they’re just a more visible part of a much bigger cabal.

I’ve been developing my understanding of the Purple Uniparty since my 2018 run for governor in Massachusetts when I got an insiders view of how the cabal operates. It was especially noticeable in the inner-cities (where we lived then: Springfield, MA). The inner-cities are the elites’ pattern for modern day slavery: lots of people packed densely together in a small space, heavily monitored by the police, most dependent on government to varying degrees, with few options for economic survival other than monthly entitlement checks or dead-end subsistence jobs in corporate franchises: Socialism or Corporate wage slavery.

Remember, these are the two conspirators behind the open borders agenda also.

And that’s who benefits most from the takedown of small business.

Importantly, we’re not letting the Republicans off the hook in this analysis. Texas – headquarters of the Bush Dynasty which is just as hostile to Trump as the Clintons – was, I believe, the first Republican controlled state to join the lockdown.

This disease pandemic should be recognized for what it is: biological warfare in the Globalist counter-offensive to the Nationalist Revolution. The end they seek is global serfdom for the populists under strict control by the elites – a gigantic world-wide “inner-city” run by Marxist-compatible multinational corporations under a single centralized politburo: just like China became after the Clinton/Bush NAFTA sell-out in the 1990s.

There’s no mystery to China’s motive in unleashing the coronavirus bio-weapon. They’re conspiring with America’s Purple Uniparty to replace Trump with someone who can get the China-model of the globalist program back on track.

And there’s no mystery why they’re killing America’s small businesses in the process.

As I watched the bluest of the blue states, California and New York go into Coronavirus Lockdown this week, I couldn’t help thinking about those inane comic-book Transformer movies where everyday machines transform into giant robotic villains and turn American cities teeming with weak and helpless human beings into smoking ruins. Except in our real-life version the transformers are the media-controlling evil globalist elites scrambling to transform America into a police state before the hard numbers on actual hospitalizations and fatalities can be used by President Trump to finally neutralize their fear-mongering.

Once it can be proven to the now panic-stricken public that this disease is actually less lethal than the Flu – based on actual cases, not exaggerated projections and spin – then the stampede will end, and the people will realized they’ve been played for fools and start looking for pay-back in the form of a Trump reelection landslide.

We’re still a couple of weeks away from that turning point, so the globalists are maximizing their leverage while they can. That’s the purpose of the state lockdowns, to ratchet up the fear factor, because they know that the stampeding herd will do far more damage to our economy than the disease itself, and that’s their strategy for defeating Trump.

Democrat bastions California and New York kicked this off because they’re hard-left cultural trend setters, then Blue Illinois and Pennsylvania followed immediately to create the sense of momentum, then the media began firing their rhetorical guns in the air to try to stampede the rest of the state governors. Some have already followed suit. Now comes the media thumb-screws for President Trump, who may be forced to initiate some form of national lockdown to placate the increasingly hysterical masses who might otherwise turn against him. Remember, a stampeding herd doesn’t think, it only reacts to the ones shooting the guns (in this case the media) and can thus be steered in any direction, even against the White House.

But there’s light at the end of the tunnel: hard science and simple math are already knocking down the propaganda among citizens who pay attention and know how to use a calculator. The numbers to watch are hospitalizations and fatalities. Of course, getting the flu is never fun, but if you don’t need hospitalization you’re irrelevant as far as justifying a police state emergency goes. So with just those two numbers (dividing the smaller by the larger and moving the decimal point two spaces to the right) you can follow the actual mortality rate of the disease.

For example, using Center for Disease Control stats, the 2018/2019 winter flu season had a roughly 6.97% mortality rate for hospitalized patients: 32,400 deaths divided by 490,600 hospitalizations. The 2017/2018 winter flu had a roughly 8.9% mortality rate: 80,000 deaths divided by 900,000 hospitalizations. So far, with numbers changing by the minute, the Coronavirus mortality rate is under 8.7% of hospitalizations – serious but certainly not sufficient to justify a world-shaking panic-attack.

From now on, every day the US statistics on Coronavirus will get clearer and the mortality rate will drop further because of the various known cures that have emerged in just the past few days using time-tested and readily available drugs. Keep in mind that these cures (for a disease that only started spreading about three months ago) were not known about in hardest hit China and Italy. Once those numbers become common knowledge, everything will change for the better. We might even be able to buy toilet paper again!

One last point. The Democrats and Never-Trumper Republicans are causing huge damage to the country with this scorched earth strategy, but they’re doing the most damage to themselves.

So the best thing all of us in the grassroots can do is spread the word that this pandemic is going to be under control very soon. It will be very helpful in the rebound phase to have documented all of the leftist fearmongering to use against them this fall. Take screen-shots and gather other evidence now because they might delete the examples of their treachery later.

Dr. Lively urges Christians, especially Christian men, to actively calm and reassure the people in their circles of influence and help them to keep the present crisis in perspective. All believers should be setting an example of confidence and trust in God for all the circumstances of their lives, especially through hardship. He suggests that an important tool for combatting fear and depression is getting away from the artificial things in our lives such as TV and news organizations which only offer a second or third hand view of the world, and instead going to a park or other natural place to focus one’s mind and senses on God’s creation. He reminds viewers that the creation operates in cycles and seasons, ups and downs, valleys and mountaintops, and that we’d never appreciate the high points without contrast with the lows.

“We’re all in this together,” he says, “and we’re going to get past it. Whether this crisis is a short term bump in the road or the season of the last days, we can always rest assured that Our Lord has promised He will never leave us, nor forsake us.”

Dr. Lively gives President Trump an A+ for managing the elites’ orchestrated pandemic so competently that his leadership as Commander in Chief is winning over even many Democrats. He predicts the media-created stampede will quickly subside once the “bailout” package is adopted by Congress and will be fully calmed once the actual US fatality and survival rates of the coronavirus are able to be determined with statistical accuracy based on actual cases and not media-spun projections.

Dr. Lively shares conservative concerns that another trillion dollars is being added to the national debt, but believes current circumstances warrant the spending. Further, he gives President Trump the highest possible marks for brilliantly co-opting the Democrat leadership by preemptively proposing the bailout remedy himself once he realized he was being outmaneuvered by media fear-mongering. He argues that debt can only be paid off in a strong economy and we won’t have one until we get this crisis behind us and get back to the work of pushing the Marxists out of power.

As a side note, Lively highlights the absurd panic-buying of toilet paper, programmed into the public response by media reporting at the start of the crisis, and then cynically covered as a “supply chain crisis” by the same media, as evidence that the stampede was definitely orchestrated.
