Here’s a hypothetical: Let’s say your agenda is to tear down and rebuild the greatest nation in the world. How do you accomplish that? How do you break down that much military might, economic power, institutional strength, societal cohesion and cultural heritage? You can’t destroy the aircraft carriers or the legislatures or the banks or the police or the courts or the churches. The people have too many rights, too much power. And you are really at a loss when they elect a leader with the courage to stand up to your agenda.

But you—and many other business, technology and governing elites—deeply believe in tearing down this nation. If you can use something to infect their minds and attitudes, you can destroy the rights of people and break the bonds within families, between groups, between races, within institutions, even inside the military. But you’re going to need a strong virus to do it. That virus will need to weaken the principles and the relationships of families, of small business owners, of local officials, of election administrators, of military officers and enlisted troops.

Sometime before Sept. 12, 2019, someone or something left the premises of the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Communist China. On it or inside it was an unnaturally powerful virus. It would soon infect its first victim in Wuhan before spreading to enough people worldwide to be classified a pandemic.

And some people have manipulated it to create the catalyst needed to dismantle a superpower. It’s increasingly clear that was their agenda—not hypothetically but literally.

Gain of Function

In September 2019, almost nobody had heard of covid-19. The closest most had known were the comparatively small outbreaks of sars, swine flu, avian flu and the seasonal influenza in humans. But Chinese Communist Party scientists in Wuhan knew all about covid-19. So did United States National Institutes of Health Director Anthony Fauci. So did Dr. Peter Daszak, high-ranking officials in the World Health Organization and high-ranking officials in the Chinese Communist Party. Why? Because they were furiously trying to cover up the fact that they had bio-engineered a virulent coronavirus even as it rapidly spread around the world.

Meanwhile, whether it was intentionally designed to advance the radicals’ agenda or not, that is exactly what they used it for. A collection of amino acids from the other side of the world that had nothing to do with America, the Constitution, your business, your family or your liberties suddenly has everything to do with them.

Liberal elites have spent more than a year ignoring, downplaying, scoffing at or censoring the belief that covid-19 leaked from Wuhan and was created there. Yet an extensively researched report compiled by the Minority Staff of the House Foreign Affairs Committee cites multiple pieces of evidence supporting these conclusions. Outlets like cnn, msnbc, abc News, nbc News and cbs News failed to cover this report because it was authored by Republicans, but many Democrats now admit that the evidence shows the lab-leak theory is true. But they don’t let that stop them from using the virus and the radicals’ manipulation of it to advance the Marxist agenda.

How can we solve the threat posed by the virus? Surprise: The solution, according to socialists and Communists, is to force through what socialists and Communists have been demanding for decades. With help from the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, EcoHealth Alliance and the University of North Carolina, these leftists bio-engineered a virus that Democrats are using to shut people in their homes, keep people from their work, smother economic activity, impoverish 200,000 small businesses, wildly enrich the technology and pharmaceutical industries, steal a presidential election, build a surveillance state, and confuse and frighten millions of Americans into surrendering their rights.

Yes, the plan is underway to dismantle the strength of the United States of America and what remains of its biblical and constitutional foundations and to reassemble its components into an authoritarian technocracy.

Dissolving America’s Foundation

The U.S. government took the unprecedented and un-American step of locking down its own economy in March 2020. It settled Americans’ attitudes by promising it would take 15 days of mandatory sacrifice to slow the spread of covid-19 and return to their regular lives and their constitutional rights. We are now far past 600 days to slow the spread. Months of lockdowns have, predictably, caused the worst downturn since the Great Depression.

Economists have estimated the pandemic’s cost to the U.S. economy at a staggering $16 trillion, and the brunt of these costs has been borne by ordinary individuals and small businesses. This is not a byproduct of a good-faith attempt to contain a virus. This is a deliberate plan. Small-business owners and workers are more independent from the government than those who work for the government or corporate elites. There are just too many of them to control. So they needed to be systematically destroyed and reincorporated into a corporate structure.

The lockdowns dissolved roughly 200,000 American small businesses. Those that have survived are now being pulverized by supply-chain crisis. In The War on Small Business: How the Government Used the Pandemic to Crush the Backbone of America, author Carol Roth writes that the federal government and the Federal Reserve are actually working together “to oversee the largest wealth transfer in history, from Main Street to Wall Street.”

Government-imposed lockdowns are making it impossible to continue operating small businesses, while government-approved stimulus packages prop up mega-corporations. “When historians look back on the decisions made beginning in March 2020 and still going strong, this period will be remembered as the ‘Great Consolidation’—the acceleration of a historic wealth transfer and power concentration out of the hands of the middle class and into those with political power and connections,” Roth wrote for Newsweek. “The ‘connected’ form a powerful bloc comprised of big government, big business and big special interests” (Oct. 24, 2021).

She further wrote that these big political and financial powers are controlled by a small number of powerful elites who derive benefits at the expense of everyday Americans. The aftermath has exposed the ugly fact that politicians from both parties love mega-corporations that they can work with to increase their personal wealth and their control over the economy. This is why salons, for example, were shut down “for your protection,” while big retailers like PetSmart were decreed “essential” during the pandemic and continued to perform “essential” operations like grooming pet hair. It’s not about safety or health or even the economy. It’s about centralizing power in the hands of the government!

Stealing America’s Presidency

In addition to fundamentally transforming America’s economy, covid-19 also fundamentally transformed America’s elections. This seems counterintuitive, unless you realize that one American political party is dedicated to “fundamentally transforming the United States of America,” as Barack Obama put it during his campaign.

Most developed countries take the obvious step of banning mail-in voting to prevent fraud. Yet before the 2020 presidential election, 37 U.S. states changed their mail-in voting procedures to make it easier for people to vote from home, on the pretext of avoiding the virus. Some or many of these changes were illegal according to state constitutions. Just two months before the election, Attorney General Bill Barr told cnn’s Wolf Blitzer that “people are playing with fire” when it comes to widespread mail-in voting, because the potential for fraud was so great. Yet the government still mailed 100 million ballots around the nation.

This couldn’t have happened if covid-19 hadn’t been engineered, leaked from a lab, spread worldwide, and ceaselessly amplified by an unprecedented political and media scare campaign.

Dr. Peter Navarro, a former trade adviser to the White House, has documented how the Democrats used a two-pronged strategy to steal the 2020 presidential election. First, increase the number of absentee and mail-in ballots. Second, decrease the level of scrutiny of such ballots to flood states with unverified votes. This strategy worked amazingly well in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, where the number of potentially illegal votes exceeded Joe Biden’s “victory” margin by an order of magnitude. So, it is no exaggeration to say that Biden would not be advancing the radical agenda from the White House today if it were not for the lengths that Dr. Fauci, Dr. Daszak and the Communist Party went to in covering up the true origins of covid-19.

Even Time magazine admitted “covid-19 changed everything about the 2020 election” and “forced many states to rapidly change how people get and submit their ballots, with unpredictable and potentially disastrous results” (Aug. 6, 2020).

But instead of admitting that mail-in ballots open the door to fraud and returning to secure elections, radical Democrats are scrambling to pass one of the most extreme and lawless voter reform bills in history. The H.R. 1 bill, which Democrats call “For the People Act,” would essentially legalize the fraud committed during the 2020 presidential election, making it possible for Democrats to steal every future American election. The bill mandates that convicted felons be allowed to vote. It prohibits states from even trying to purge voter rolls of foreign nationals, who are ineligible to vote according to the Constitution. It mandates same-day voter registration, mandatory early voting, nationwide availability of mail-in ballots, and unlimited ballot harvesting. Normally, the American people would never consider such measures, so the radical Democrats had to use covid-19 as the pretext. Not only was it the means to steal the presidency and many congressional seats, but now that they control the levers of power, they are using it to try to enshrine their lawless electoral practices with a veneer of law.

Establishing a Surveillance State

Now that corporate oligarchs control the economy and radical Democrats control the government, U.S. leaders are preparing everyday Americans to accept the fact that they will be forced to obtain “vaccine passports” to enter restaurants, stores, gyms and other indoor establishments. These are the same leaders who claim it is racist to ask someone for identification before voting. This is not about public health. This is about political power.

Big companies like Disney and Walmart are already requiring their employees to get vaccinated, so government coercion is probably not far away. New York Mayor Bill de Blasio announced that vaccine passports would be phased in over several weeks. Joe Biden announced that he would use the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to force private-sector employers to compel their workers to get vaccinated, to submit to weekly testing, or get fired. This is aimed at coercing 100 million unvaccinated Americans to get jabbed.

Such authoritarian mandates are not a means of protecting public health. Scientists at Pfizer, a pharmaceutical mega-corporation that manufactures a covid vaccine, have been recorded admitting in private that natural covid immunity is far more effective than vaccination. And two thirds of epidemiologists warn that mutations could render current covid vaccines ineffective in a year or less. Vaccine mandates and covid passports are largely ineffective for containing a virus—but extremely useful for establishing a Communist-style surveillance state in the United States.

Since February 2020, Chinese citizens have had to use digital “health codes” on platforms such as WeChat and AliPay to access public transport, restaurants and malls. Yet these “health codes” are more than just admission passes for the vaccinated. WeChat and AliPay work closely with the Chinese government to collect data on Chinese citizens that can be used to assign them a social credit score. If a citizen refuses vaccination, makes an online political post without a permit, or questions a government decision, his social credit goes down and the police may show up at his door. Now a similar authoritarian system could be coming to the United States.

In July 2021, PayPal announced a partnership with the Southern Poverty Law Center to investigate the role of “white supremacists” and “anti-government” agitators in the January 6 protest at the U.S. Capitol and also that information collected by PayPal will be shared with other financial firms and politicians. Anyone labeled an extremist could be banned from using PayPal and similar services. “The potential scope of the soft social credit system under construction is enormous,” reported the Hill. “The same companies that can track your activities and give you corporate rewards for compliant behavior could utilize their powers to block transactions, add surcharges or restrict your use of products. At what point does free speech—be it against biological males playing in girls’ sports, questioning vaccine side effects, or advocating for gun rights—make someone a target in this new system? When does your debit card get canceled over old tweets, your home loan denied for homeschooling your kids, or your eBay account invalidated because a friend flagged you for posting a Gadsden flag?” (Aug. 3, 2021).

It would not take much to link such a social credit system to vaccine passports and start barring people from restaurants because they are unvaccinated or because they made an online political post about the election steal. Again, the American people would normally never consider such measures, but the perceived threat of covid-19 has frightened millions into surrendering their constitutional rights to public health officials!

Blotting Out the Name of Israel

Americans today are not living in the nation of their Founding Fathers or even of their own fathers. The nation’s government is mutating away from a constitutional republic into an authoritarian technocracy.

Trumpet editor in chief Gerald Flurry explained in “Who Is the Modern-Day Jeroboam?” that Donald Trump is a type of the Israelite King Jeroboam ii. Anciently, under Jeroboam’s rule, Israel expanded its borders and took control of trade routes connecting Assyria and Egypt. Yet while he warred, a new class of elites grew rich trading in olive oil, wine and war horses. They used their wealth to exploit their own people (Amos 6:1-7), so God used the Prophet Amos to condemn them, saying they “swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail” (Amos 8:4-7).

The central planners behind the covid-19 pandemic present themselves as champions of the poor, but they are not much different from the aristocracy that governed Israel in Jeroboam’s time. The goal of these elites is to use crises to enrich themselves and keep the masses reliant on the government.

A related prophecy in 2 Kings 14:26-27 says, “For the Lord saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter: for there was not any shut up, nor any left, nor any helper for Israel. And the Lord said not that he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven: but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.”

When you look at all the ways that the radical left has used the covid-19 pandemic to attack America and transform it into a Communist state, it is clear that America is suffering bitter affliction. In fact, the affliction is so bitter that if God did not intervene, the same people who covered up the coronavirus’s true origins would be able to rig every election for the foreseeable future and rule America like a feudal aristocracy.

The infection of America with a fatal strain of radical socialism traces back not only to a Wuhan laboratory, communist commissioners, an American doctor and an American president, but to the agenda and the motivation that strangely unites them. That motive traces back to a literal, active spirit being seeking to destroy America and related nations because those nations have been (and will be) used by God.

Thankfully, God does promise to miraculously intervene one last time and save America from the radical left. He will do this specifically for the purpose of giving Americans one last chance to learn the lesson of the covid-19 pandemic and the technocratic takeover. If we go back to business as usual and fail to repent of the sins that enabled a cabal of corporate executives, establishment politicians and “deep state” bureaucrats to take over, then God will not pass by again (Amos 7:8-9). He will not give us another chance. The nation will have to go into captivity before its people learn the true meaning of repentance and finally let God show them how to lead a life worth living!
