NC Renegades

By Brandon Smith

I had a relatively marginal Christian upbringing as a child and really didn’t become interested in questions of a metaphysical nature until later in life. My relationship to organized religion has always been to meet it with skepticism. I appreciate the fundamental moral messages and the aspirations to care for your fellow man, but I often wonder if a theocratic system would just end up becoming another form of tyranny. There are so many elements of organized religion that can be exploited by evil people who want to use it for their own ends. Collectivism is collectivism, is it not?

I don’t think I became truly immersed in the concept of a creatively engineered universe until I started studying quantum physics and Jungian psychology – Then I realized, there was FAR too much synchronicity in the world, far too much evidence that there is some kind of design, some kind of plan to life. I might not understand what the plan is, but I can see the mathematical and psychological fingerprints of what one might call “God.”

It’s the reason I could never take atheism seriously. The claim of atheism has long been that the philosophy has nothing to do with faith and everything to do with evidence. Yet, every time I see an atheist confronted with evidence of creative design, they dismiss it blindly. This kind of ignorance has always been more horrifying to me that anything else – The notion of “scientific cultism” and tyranny hiding behind false claims of logic and rationalism.

I’m explaining my position on this issue to drive home the fact that I do not hold any affiliation to any particular church or religious group. I will defend Christianity when I feel it deserves to be defended, and I will criticize Christianity when I feel certain groups or church leaders have gone astray.  For example, anyone who reads my work knows I have outlined evidence that the Pope is an utter fraud and a globalist puppet.  There are wolves in sheep’s clothing within every belief system.

So, when I say I hear a deafening silence among Christian churches when it comes to the political and social climate today, this is coming from someone who is NOT quick to call for theocratic intervention. Even I find the lack of faith…disturbing.

In an unprecedented move that threatens to redefine the dynamics of international trade and economic stability, the BRICS nations reportedly plan to launch a new trading currency, backed by gold, at their upcoming summit in August in Johannesburg, South Africa, according to Russia’s Foreign Ministry.

The decision, reported by RT News, marks a bold move away from the US dollar, the world’s current global reserve currency.

The BRICS group, an association of five major emerging national economies comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, has captured the world’s attention with this plan. Over forty-one countries have expressed interest in joining the BRICS initiative and adopting the new currency, highlighting the growing discontent with the US dollar’s global dominance, thanks to Joe Biden.

According to Russia’s Foreign Ministry, if African nations also show enthusiasm for this gold-backed currency, BRICS membership expansion could be a key discussion point at the upcoming Russia-Africa summit this year.

So the rumors concerning the establishment of a currency backed by gold have been confirmed. A timetable for its public release is currently not mentioned. If it were me, I would release it with no advance notice for maximum impact. There is no mention of the part Saudi Arabia will play in this release but the acceptance of another currency for oil will add to the economic impact in the West. Plan accordingly and think shiny.

I have read the comments on this post from yesterday regarding the veto of NC Bill SB49, Parents Bill of Rights, and appear to have gotten pushback from two individuals, Joanna Martin and David DeGerolamo whom I very much respect. I have been thinking a great deal about this, and am at a loss as to what kind of solution exists that could possibly correct the glaring conflict between parents’ rights to have control over the education of their children and what they are subjected to in schools, and the existence of these state schools. Overriding the veto appeared to me to be a move in the right direction IN TERMS OF the atrocities and abuse educators and administrators seek to subject our children to, and making an effort to notify the parents about such abuses. However, I do indeed see PH’s concerns that it [SB 49] clearly states that the rights of parents are understood to be dictated by the state, and not God. Let me be clear: OUR RIGHTS COME FROM GOD.

We must remember that our rights were not taken from us all at once. We will not recover them all at once either, but I believe we must make forward progress toward restoring ALL of our rights.

Clearly most parents have been asleep at the wheel for far too long, and this is where we are. Is the bill, which Cooper vetoed, actually an effort to further erode our rights as parents? Does that put Cooper in the bizarre position of saving us from a bill that would have done so? It seems hardly likely that this was his intent. Is it the intent of the legislators to usurp our rights as parents even further? Only they know that, but it’s not unreasonable to suspect this, either.

It is my opinion that the vetoed bill, if overridden by the house and senate, might do more to help awaken absentee parents, and those who are simply too busy NOT GOING GALT as to the festering madness that now permeates our schools. Do we truly hope to have a bill that puts us back to where we should be, with parents the absolute final word regarding education? In an ideal world, yes. But that seems hardly likely in today’s environment.

I’d love to see someone not only point out the flaws and issues with the legislation, which has been done by PH, but to, in a concise way that can be understood by all, come up with something better that could actually gain traction and pass, even if a veto has to be overridden. Something that gives absolute recognition as to the God-given rights of parents and their authority, as well as requiring administrators and educators to keep parents apprised of all activities, with sufficient penalties to those who violate that requirement. Perhaps Mark Robinson will be able to accomplish this when he becomes the next governor of North Carolina.

Then I saw what was wrong with the world, I saw what destroyed men and nations, and where the battle for life had to be fought. I saw that the enemy was an inverted morality—and that my sanction was its only power. I saw that evil was impotent—that evil was the irrational, the blind, the anti-real—and that the only weapon of its triumph was the willingness of the good to serve it. Just as the parasites around me were proclaiming their helpless dependence on my mind and were expecting me voluntarily to accept a slavery they had no power to enforce, just as they were counting on my self-immolation to provide them with the means of their plan—so throughout the world and throughout men’s history, in every version and form, from the extortions of loafing relatives to the atrocities of collectivized countries, it is the good, the able, the men of reason, who act as their own destroyers, who transfuse to evil the blood of their virtue and let evil transmit to them the poison of destruction, thus gaining for evil the power of survival, and for their own values—the impotence of death. I saw that there comes a point, in the defeat of any man of virtue, when his own consent is needed for evil to win—and that no manner of injury done to him by others can succeed if he chooses to withhold his consent. I saw that I could put an end to your outrages by pronouncing a single word in my mind. I pronounced it. The word was “No.”

Democratic North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper vetoed a bill Wednesday that would have required teachers to notify parents if their child requested to change their pronouns or name at school.

Under Senate Bill 49, vetoed by Cooper, lessons on gender identity and sexual orientation would have been prohibited in K-4 classrooms. The bill passed both the state Senate and House in June, where Republican lawmakers hold the majority.

My Twitter account is still permanently suspended. My appeal process that was supposed to be answered within 5 days is now over two weeks past. Either Elon Musk is taking us all on a ride or Twitter still is under the influence of the CIA and FBI.

I am not losing any sleep over distractions.

I have posted tweets on this site from Erica Marsh to show the other side’s viewpoint. I would post my comments on her tweets exposing her as a fraudulent bot except my Twitter account has been suspended.

A viral left-wing Twitter account may have been fake all along

In eight months, Erica Marsh has become one of the most consistently viral left-wing voices on Twitter, gaining more than 130,000 followers for her hyper-liberal, often melodramatic opinions on the biggest flash points in American news.

he’s been especially popular with conservatives, who promoted her as a perfect symbol of how overly theatrical and inane liberals can be — like when she attacked the Supreme Court’s affirmative action decision last week by saying “no Black person will be able to succeed in a merit-based system.” The tweet was viewed more than 27 million times.

There’s just one problem: She’s probably a fake.

After The Washington Post raised questions about the account with employees of Twitter’s trust and safety department, the account was suspended on Sunday for unknown reasons.

The US Navy’s Fifth Fleet has announced that early Wednesday Iranian naval vessels attempted to seize two oil tankers near the Strait of Hormuz, which included firing shots at one of them. 

The US Navy said it responded and prevented the seizures. “The Iranian navy did make attempts to seize commercial tankers lawfully transiting international waters,” Cmdr. Tim Hawkins, spokesman for the U.S. Navy’s Fifth Fleet, confirmed in a statement. “The U.S. Navy responded immediately and prevented those seizures.”
