The debacle in Afghanistan is not the result of incompetence. As my father writes in the newest issue of the Philadelphia Trumpet, the horrendous withdrawal is part of a deliberate effort to destroy America.

For eight years, Barack Obama used the presidency to transform America from the constitutional republic that it had been toward a Communist state. When later asked by comedian Stephen Colbert if he wished he could continue his work for another term, Obama replied he would like to “make an arrangement where I had a stand-in, a front man or front woman, and they had an earpiece in, and I was in my basement in my sweats looking through the stuff, and I could deliver the lines, but somebody else was doing all the talking and ceremony.” That was intended to be humorous, but can you deny that Obama has gotten his wish? Joe Biden is not in control. Joe Biden is a front man. And who is behind him? Who has enormous power from his eight years in office fundamentally transforming the United States and its government? Who is still untouchable by the media? Who has a shocking amount of power over a shockingly powerful “deep state”?

Barack Obama is delivering the lines.

And that includes the shocking policy bomb Joe Biden exploded in his press conference on September 9: The federal government is ignoring the Constitution and forcing private companies to fire people who decline to get injected by new cocktails of chemically modified ribonucleic acid.

Obama is continuing his presidential policies. We are seeing more and more evidence of it, and you will see more and more of it in the immediate future. It is Obama’s policy to undermine America’s power abroad. That is why the U.S. government inexplicably gifted billions of dollars of advanced weaponry to Taliban terrorists and whomever they give or sell them to, while characterizing as “domestic terrorists” patriots who have neither killed nor threatened to kill anyone. It is Obama’s policy to force through a radical transfer of power away from the American people and into the top echelons of a centralized government.

On September 9, Biden announced his signing of two executive orders mandating that all federal employees and contractors get vaccinated against covid-19 or get fired. Then he went a giant step further. He ordered a federal agency, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, to draft new emergency standards for the purpose of having the federal government force private companies to mandate vaccinations.

“Many of us are frustrated with the nearly 80 million Americans who are still not vaccinated, even though the vaccine is safe, effective and free,” Biden said in what will prove to be an infamous speech. “[S]o, tonight, I’m announcing that the Department of Labor is developing an emergency rule to require all employers with 100 or more employees, that together employ over 80 million workers, to ensure their workforces are fully vaccinated or show a negative test at least once a week. … The bottom line: We’re going to protect vaccinated workers from unvaccinated co-workers.”

This, despite the fact that the presidency has no constitutional authority to force such a rule on private companies, and despite the fact that Americans have been led to believe that vaccinated workers are protected from covid-19—and therefore have nothing to fear from unvaccinated co-workers. That is the entire purpose for the existence of the vaccine.

Yet Biden and others in his so-called “party of science” are ignoring that logic and attempting to get millions of Americans fired and to force on employers a $14,000 fine for each violation. No government has the right to forcibly inject something into your body. These regulations are outright tyranny. But Biden is justifying his power grab by stressing that it’s an “emergency” and his “job as president is to protect all Americans.” This is just days after Biden, in front of the whole world, abandoned hundreds of Americans to the Taliban. This is despite the fact that he is taking no action against thousands of untested, unvaccinated, sometimes criminal, sometimes drug-smuggling people flooding over a border he has intentionally left open. Doing anything to solve those problems would actually preserve the rule of law and help the country, which is not the policy of Obama nor Biden nor anyone else in the Joebama regime. Like his boss, Barack Obama, Biden’s one consistent policy is to dismantle the Constitution, and thereby individual liberty, in order to seize even more power.

The same spirit that was behind Obama’s unconstitutional Affordable Care Act is behind the vaccine mandate: Attack individual liberty and empower a central government through targeting people’s health.

“This government is showing its tendency more and more to force its will on the public,” my father writes in America Under Attack, a booklet that becomes more relevant with every Joebama executive order. “It passed its health-care plan even though most of the people said they didn’t want it, and not one Republican voted for it. Even though the administration had promised to always be transparent, it made all its decisions behind closed doors, and assured us, Don’t worry—we’ll take care of it. We know what’s good for you. Do they know what’s good for us? That bill will result in many more problems than it purports to solve. … These people on the radical left hate the supreme law of the land.”

The Biden government is not vaccinating Afghan refugees or illegal immigrants or food stamp recipients or prisoners. It is deliberately and openly targeting working-class Americans. (We saw this same line of attack against middle-class Americans with Biden’s unconstitutional banning of evictions.) Biden and his officials, many of whom were in power during Obama’s presidency, are not really concerned with stopping the spread of the coronavirus. It is concerned with finishing Obama’s work and fundamentally transforming the United States into a Communist dictatorship. As we have seen in previous socialist and Communist revolutions, for socialists to get power, they simply must stomp their way through middle-class taxpayers and their freedoms, and anyone else who is financially independent from government.

The Biden administration’s vaccine mandates are about making Americans accustomed to mindless submission and dependence on the government. Biden himself admitted this on September 9, when he said, “If these governors won’t help us beat the pandemic, I’ll use my power as president to get them out of the way.” The federal government is using the Occupational Safety and Health Administration to issue ultimatums and preparing to step in and get rid of any governor or other local official who dares defy their will. The choice truly is jab or else!

Sen. Rand Paul noted that newly released public documents reveal the extent of U.S. funding to the Wuhan Institute of Virology and prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that Dr. Anthony Fauci lied when he denied that the National Institutes of Health funded gain-of-function research in Wuhan, China. Yet Democrats still quote Dr. Fauci as an authority for why people must get vaccinated if they want to hold a job, go to a restaurant, or live a normal life.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki made a telling slip-up when she referred to the coronavirus epidemic as the “plandemic.” The virus may have spread from the Wuhan Institute of Virology accidentally, but the lockdowns, mask mandates, social-distancing rules and vaccine mandates are a deliberate plan to control the population. That was the message of Biden’s speech: We control you!

“Tonight, I’m announcing that the Transportation Safety Administration—the tsa—will double the fines on travelers that refuse to mask,” a visibly angry Biden announced in his speech. “If you break the rules, be prepared to pay. And, by the way, show some respect. The anger you see on television toward flight attendants and others doing their job is wrong; it’s ugly.” That is some tough talk a lot of Americans would have loved Biden to use against the Taliban. But like his boss, Barack Obama, Biden is a weakling abroad and a tyrant at home. So he will defend the Taliban as potential U.S. allies, but expect him to use the full might of the U.S. presidency—and unconstitutional authority far beyond the presidency—to crack down on American citizens who complain about having to wear masks at the airport.

“At the same time the Obama administration has undermined America’s power abroad, it has amassed power within the nation in the federal government, especially in the presidency itself,” my father wrote in his 2016 article “America’s Real Enemy.” “This may seem contradictory, but in fact it is another side of the same story. In case after case, this administration has taken more power for itself and increased its control over the American people. … If you aren’t paying attention to this trend, you should be. Many people are trying to pretend there is no real problem, and that those who are concerned are overreacting. But this should deeply trouble every American! There is an unparalleled spirit of lawlessness here—and it is leading to an outcome far worse than most people realize.”

And five years later, here we are.

But even with the considerable power that Americans have given up over recent years and generations, and even with the deep state accumulating so much of that power to itself, and even with Barack Obama’s presidency and shadow presidency exerting so much power over the deep state and the average American, you still cannot explain what is going on. Some see what is happening, but they can’t see why. Even if they see Barack Obama’s power and his enmity for America’s constitutional and biblical heritage, they still don’t see America’s real enemy.

There is a clear, specific reason why governments and individuals in America and the world beyond have been acting so radically, so drastically, so quickly. And once again, it gets back to something my father first wrote about years ago, when nobody else really recognized this. In fact, I still haven’t heard any other commentator or organization recognize this.

Satan is cast down.

Satan is a real, literal being. He is the origin of self-exaltation and greed for power. He has enmity for God and His plan, a plan that includes the United States and other nations that descended from ancient Israel. And not only does he exist; not only does he have power to influence all human beings (Revelation 12:9); not only is he this world’s god, in fact, (2 Corinthians 4:4); but he and the other wicked angels that he controls have been confined to the Earth! Revelation 12:12 has been fulfilled and is in full effect.

Bible prophecy shows Satan is full of rage and is igniting a global cataclysm. But to carry it out, he must first practically destroy what little strength and good influence the United States has left. That is why it is his policy to obliterate Americans’ influence around the world and to destroy their liberties at home. For the past 13 years, Barack Obama has been the devil’s primary tool to accomplish this policy. America’s real enemy is Satan. He is delivering the lines.

Although news about Obama went quiet after he left office, we at the Trumpet have kept an eye on him. In the February Philadelphia Trumpet, my father wrote that Obama was “at the epicenter of the election crisis and the radical left’s effort to prevent Donald Trump from being reelected!” He based his analysis on 2 Kings 14:23-29, which describe a Satan-led movement to “blot out the name of Israel from under heaven,” and Daniel 8:12, which exposes an end-time Antiochus Epiphanes who “cast down the truth to the ground.”

My father is focusing on Bible prophecy. Obama is staying mostly in the shadows. But watch for more and more evidence to accumulate proving Bible prophecy true, particularly my father’s identification of Obama’s role.

Please read my father’s article “Barack Obama in Bible Prophecy.” It exposes who is the real “mastermind behind the vast, elaborate network of lies and lawlessness aimed at destroying America.” It also shows you real hope—your only hope. God is still going to save the nation through President Donald Trump. He too is prophesied in the Bible as an end-time type of King Jeroboam ii that God will use to give Americans a temporary rescue so that he and all Americans will have one last chance at a permanent rescue. Permanent rescue for this nation and for each individual in it can come only if we will recognize our real enemy: our own sins! Yes, each of us, even the religious Christian, is guilty of turning away from God! Each of us must recognize and overcome the influence of the god of this world, the prince of the power of the air. The life-and-death lesson we need to learn here is not that Barack Obama or Joe Biden or government bureaucrats are anti-American. The lesson we need to learn, as one American put it, is that “we have forgotten God.”

That’s not just a religious sentiment. That is a nation-saving, life-saving call to repentance. It’s the only way out.
