*Special Message To the Saints of God, Trump Supporters, the Faithful: It’s not over, and remember, God has the last Word!
“Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, for wisdom and might are his, and he changes the times and the seasons; he removes kings, and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those who understand; He reveals the deep and secret things; He knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with Him. I thank You, and praise You, oh God of my fathers, Who has given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what we desired of You, for You have now made known to us the king’s matter” Daniel 2:20-23
Rep Marjorie Greene will file impeachment charges against Biden on his first day in office
Senator Josh Hawley defends his objection to Electoral Certification of Biden’s election by fraud
Parler CEO John Matze says it may never get back online
One social media website, a fairly new site, which did not censor free speech, has been shut down and may not return.
THIS MEANS WE ARE LIVING UNDER A COMMUNIST REGIME COMING TO OFFICE, FOLKS, UNLESS GOD INTERVENES FOR US! OUR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS HAVE BEEN TRASHED BY THE TRAITORS WHO JUST TOOK THE ELECTION BY FRAUD, BIG TECH COLLABORATING WITH THEM. DO YOU GET IT?
This is a fulfillment of prophecy. See the Massive Internet Censorship prophecy: https://signswonders.home.blog/2019/04/22/update-4-22-19/
More proof BLM activist posed as Trump supporter at Capitol false flag
Communist Joe Biden – Baby Killer Kamala Harris
15,000 National Guard troops deployed to DC to secure the Biden / Harris Communist Inauguration

Are you aware of the fact that we don’t seem to have a Constitution or Bill of Rights in the United States any longer?
Schumer promises $2,000 stimulus checks as soon as Democrats take office
The hypocrites blocked the $2,000 stimulus checks when President Trump tried to issue them, as Pelosi refused to sign the bill; but now they are promising the $2,000 checks under Biden. Did they care how badly you needed the money months ago? They are trying to make Biden look good.
Biden is still a Communist traitor, no matter how many $2,000 checks go out!
More Censorship: Snapchat permanently bans President Trump
If Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat… bans President Trump for his conservative views, what do you suppose they will do to you under a Biden Communist administration? All of these platforms, every single one of them, have lied and said that President Trump incited violence, which he did not. President Trump spoke the TRUTH when he reveled that the election had been stolen by fraud. If that true statement and free speech is viewed as an “incitement of violence,” America is no longer a free Democracy and those running the nation now are twisted, sick people!
Tucker Carlson: Trump voters have been redefined as ‘domestic terrorists’
Haven’t you heard? Telling the truth about political criminals in the US will put you on a “domestic terrorist” list!
Kamala Harris actually does incite BLM and Antifa terror. Is she on a “domestic terrorist” list? No! She is expected to soon be Vice President of the US! That’s how Communism works, folks. The political tyrants are never guilty of anything they do, murder, killing babies, promoting terrorism, killing masses… Just look into the genocidal history of China and you will understand.

3-year-old girl found raped at Pakistani migrant camp
Obama’s cohorts escorted hundreds of thousands of illegal Muslim immigrants into the US; the last batch converging on the US from Mexico, just before Obama finished his fraudulent stint in the White House (those born outside of the United States, Kenya in his case, are not eligible to become President of the United States).
AMERICANS – You need to watch your children like guardian angels!
‘Lady Gaga’ lined up to sing National Anthem at Biden Inauguration
Isn’t that kind of like inviting the Play Boy Bunnie of the Month to pole dance at your daughter’s baptismal? Oh, that’s right, we are talking about the LLL Communist Democrats “Inauguration”…Who do you suppose will show up to Biden’s Inauguration anyway? Oh, that’s right, America does have a lot of pedophiles, baby killers, Communists, Muslim rapists, LGBTQueers and drug pushers in strategic places these days.
Why should she stop the distribution? She and many other members of the House are Communists. I have been writing about it for a decade, but it’s been going on much longer than that. America will finally get it if Biden and Harris ever come to power in the US.
EXPOSED: PBS Chief Counsel calls for “re-education camps” for children of Trump supporters
“We go for all the Republican voters and Homeland Security will take their children away,” Michael Beller stated on camera. “We’ll put them into the re-education camps.” Beller was dead serious.
Did you catch that? They want to take away the “children” of Trump supporters, not Trump supporters themselves. Michael Beller and his cohorts may be getting desperate for children since the Trump Administration got rid of Jeffrey Epstein and many other child traffickers over the last four years. That vengeance will come to a screeching halt, if Biden and Harris take power, and they will be after your children, not so much you, but your children! America’s children are a strong factor in the power struggle. The LLLs not only sexualize children on NetFlix, but the schools have been sexualizing them for decades. Hence, you have children by the masses afflicted with sexually transmitted diseases, children who don’t know their sexual identity (very convenient for the LGBTQ community – saturated in the LLL Democratic Communist Party, USA), and who are a major contributor to the baby killers/baby body parts wholesalers – AND THEY WANT TO KEEP IT THAT WAY! (PBS denounced Michael Beller and said he is no longer employed, but that’s just “damage control.” PBS is among the LLLs; they just don’t want you to know it.)
The Word tells us about this (in the original Hebrew):
“For You have forsaken Your people, the house of Jacob, because they are satisfied from the east (would that be China?), and act covertly like the Philistines (don’t forget about the dancing boys), and they please themselves in the children of strangers (original Hebrew) they are slapping hands in compact (child trafficking!)” Isaiah 2:6 (ET – Elim אֵילִם Translation)
Antifa present at the Capitol: photos and evidence
Paypal blocked Christian crowdfunding site, GiveSendGod
Antifa led the way into the Capitol; it was a “set up;” but the LLLs will blame and persecute Christians whenever possible. George Soros funds Antifa and BLM terrorists. Is anyone trying to take his money away from him?
The Clintons have been killing people for decades. Is anyone trying to take their money away from them, or even prosecuting them for it? Watch:
Exactly where and how did President Trump incite protestors to violence?
The LLLs hate President Trump vehemently, but Jesus said this:
“Remember the Word that I spoke to you, ‘The servant is not greater than his Lord. If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept My saying, they will keep yours also'” John 15:20
Trump supporters tried to stop Antifa from breaking Capitol windows
Big Tech used Capitol protest to exercise Communist style social credit system on Americans
Big Tech has waged all out cyber war against Christians, conservatives, Trump supporters and freedom lovers, and the massive censorship by the LLLs since January 6 is unprecedented. They pulled the plug on the President of the United States, suspending his Twitter and Facebook accounts! Parler, an openly conservative social media site, was shut down over the weekend. This is a fulfillment of prophecy. See the Massive Internet Censorship prophecy: https://signswonders.home.blog/2019/04/22/update-4-22-19/
Riots at Capitol confirmed false flag event
DOJ adviser says 368,000 fraudulent votes across multiple swing states resulted in Biden ‘win’
Ultimate censorship: Twitter and Facebook suspend President Donald Trump’s Accounts!
They have accused President Trump of inciting violence simply because he stated the facts, that election fraud took place. Kamala Harris stated publicly that BLM “would not stop (rioting) and should not (stop).” People have been killed and seriously injured by BLM. Has Harris’s accounts been suspended? Absolutely not. This is a Communist takeover, a coup by election fraud if you will, and mainstream media is backing it. There is a major incentive for this takeover that includes Hollywood, legislators, media moguls and, believe it or not, … it’s pedophilia and child trafficking!
The Word tells us,
“For You have forsaken Your people, the house of Jacob, because they are satisfied from the east (would that be China?), and act covertly like the Philistines (don’t forget about the dancing boys), and they please themselves in the children of strangers (original Hebrew) they are slapping hands in compact (child trafficking!)” Isaiah 2:6 (ET – Elim אֵילִם Translation)
Speaking of censorship, this is what I have had to deal with before logging in (this tool against hacks was not activated by me – [see screen shot below]). It is frequently used to keep me out of my account with WordPress.
This happens too – when I am online!

Nolte: Bill would give Andrew Cuomo power to ‘remove’ people with virus
The Communist Chinese have been shutting people with coronavirus in their houses, locking them in, shutting them off to the world with no help. Here comes Cuomo right behind them! Imagine the possibility of having your child, who has never been away from you, even while your child is sick and needs you the most, being snatched away from you – ISOLATED, FRIGHTENED AND SICK! These people have no conscience, they are criminals.
Chinese Foreign Minister: Biden win offers China ‘new window of hope’
China has been torturing Christians for just being God-fearing Christians. They have demolished their churches, arrested Christians and put them in concentration camps. Biden is a friend to China and a close business associate. He sold America out to China before he fraudulently “won” the election.
Are you distressed about the world’s events and the pestilence? You don’t need to be. When Jesus paid the penalty for our sins, He also took upon Himself our sorrows and griefs, and He gives us peace. If you are a servant of the Most High God, these promises announced by the prophet Isaiah hundreds of years before Jesus came to earth, all belong to you:
“Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows, yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and with his stripes we are healed” Isaiah 53:4-5
“The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God” Psalm 9:17
Nancy Pelois bans gender terms like mother, daughter, father, son, in House rules
It seems all the “bats” are flying out of hell now that they believe Joe Biden won the election (by fraud)! The gender “issues” are, like baby killing, all a part of the Democratic-Communist depopulation agenda. We need to ignore these lunatics as best we can, until God captures us up out of this hell hole!
Watch after your children, America!
THERE IS A REASON WHY I CALL THEM “LIBERAL LUCIFERIAN LUNATICS!”
Expert witness says he hacked into Georgia election system, it’s on Wi-Fi!
Gee, do you think maybe the elections have been hacked now?
PA lawmakers say ballot numbers don’t add up in 2020 election
It seems the traitors can’t even do simple math. Do you suppose they received Common Core? No, they’re too old. They’ve probably been hanging out with Nancy Pelosi too much.
Gallop Poll: Trump is America’s Most Admired Man for 2020
I received this beautiful E-card Christmas greeting from the President and First Lady. Do you remember the Christmas card Obama sent to his constituents? It included a picture of his dog on the front, and there was a message behind that. The message President Donald Trump sent to us is that he loves America and her citizens. What a contrast. Are you ready for another dog? Continue in prayer, folks. We need God’s intervention in the midst of all this voter/election fraud and the Democratic Communists who are trying to take over America.

Democrat governors freed criminals and killed the elderly
“They released criminals to protect them from the virus – and locked nursing home patients in with the virus” Daniel Greenfield
The Word tells us about the LLLs:
“The vile person shall no more be called liberal (that’s right, they call themselves Progressives nowadays), nor the greedy (וּלְכִילַי – original Hebrew) said to be bountiful. The vile person will speak villainy and his heart will work iniquity, to practice hypocrisy and utter error against the Lord, to make empty the soul of the hungry and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail. The instruments also of the churl are evil; he devises wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speak right. But the liberal devise liberal things and by liberal things shall he stand” Isaiah 32:5-8 (ET – Elim אֵילִם Translation)
Coronavirus relief bill includes deadline for UFO reporting
Governments have been hiding UFO data for decades. This call for UFO reporting coincides with last days Bible prophecy. Now UFOs will be reported and used by the LLLs to frighten the masses; just as Bible prophecy foretells of pestilence, and now the pestilence is being used to frighten people.
John the Revelator was given insight into the future:
“And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon; and he exercises all the power of the first beast before him (the antichrist) and causes the earth and those who dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he does great wonders, so that he makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men and deceives those who dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed” Revelation 13:11-15
The last days false prophet will perform “wonders” and he will make fire come down from heaven to “deceive” those who dwell on earth.
Jesus said,
“There shall arise false Christs and false prophets and they will show great signs and wonders, insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect (of God)” Matthew 24:24
The “great signs and wonders” referred to here will include UFOs.
Democrats must now prove how Biden got 13 million excess votes from voters who didn’t vote
“Biden’s “historic” vote total exceeds the total number of registered voters who actually voted by 13 million!” DCClothesline.com
“Hear the word of the Lord, you children of Israel, for the Lord has a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land. By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood touches blood. Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwells therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, yes, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away” Hosea 4:1-3
We are no different than ancient Israel that sinned against God, and they had to pay the consequences. If America gets away with all of the evil she has committed, God would have to apologize to Israel. God is righteous in judgment and He will exact the same judgments on America that He did ancient Israel. That is exactly why 60 percent of the wildlife has languished and died (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/oct/30/humanity-wiped-out-animals-since-1970-major-report-finds), and the people inhabiting the land will do the same, unless they repent!
Rampant pedophilia, kidnapping torture and murder of children!
Parents, watch your children like guardian angels! Don’t allow them to leave home alone – ever. More than 2,000 children are kidnapped (also tortured and murdered) in the United States every single day, 1 EVERY 40 SECONDS!

Rand Paul: Voter fraud ‘happened’ and election was ‘in many ways stolen’

“Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, for wisdom and might are His and He changes the times and seasons; He removes kings, and sets up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those who have understanding; He reveals the deep and secret things; He knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with Him” Daniel 2:20-22
“Fear them not, therefore, for there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed, and hid that shall not be known” Matthew 10:2

Before a minute goes by, another child is kidnapped!
Watch your children like an angel, friends. The Finders make it their business to track children and find vulnerabilities in order to snatch them from you. Many have been purchased by pedophiles, others have been tortured and killed for adrenochrome. Be diligent, yes, be OVERPROTECTIVE in this corrupt, evil generation
