Joe Biden and those using him are on the attack. The target of the attack isn’t drug smugglers, human traffickers, gang members or anarchists—or foreign spies, combatants or regimes. And the thrust of the attack isn’t about jobs, spending or public health.

It’s about the use of deadly force. And the target is everyday Americans.

Yesterday, September 11, Americans remembered the horrific 2001 attacks. I was teaching a class during our very first college academic year, here in Edmond, Oklahoma. A staff member interrupted to tell us that a plane had just hit the World Trade Center in New York. A few minutes later, he interrupted again: Another plane had just hit.

With the rest of the world, we watched the terror unfold. The Twin Towers, burning. Our fellow Americans, choking on the smoke and facing an inferno, plummeting from those windows. Another plane striking the Pentagon. Another plane crashing in Pennsylvania. The South Tower falling. The North Tower falling. We felt one shock after another after another after another. The world had changed. It was a mass murder of 2,997 people that was intentionally planned and perpetrated by people saturated in pure hatred and sheer evil.

If you oppose the illegitimate Biden regime, you are like those terrorists.

That was the message from Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to average Americans on September 11. Biden said that in 2001 enemies of “our democracy” tried to bury our rights and freedoms “in the burning fire and smoke and ash” and equated that to Americans who have protested the wild irregularities of the 2020 presidential election that put him in power. Liberal journalist Chuck Todd picked up on the theme and characterized people who opposed Harris as a “threat,” asking if it was “equal or greater than what we faced after 9/11?” Harris did not answer directly, but grouped together the jihadists of September 11 and the everyday Americans speaking out against the hijacking of the election as “enemies foreign and domestic.”

This comes 10 days after Biden gave one of the most vicious speeches in American history. This divisive televised prime-time address on the first of September was not the type of speech a politician gives to get more votes in midterm elections. It was a declaration of war by an unelected usurper against President Donald Trump and more than 75 million American citizens.

Biden’s team, which would be more properly characterized as Barack Obama’s team, set up the event to take place at night and arranged numerous floodlights to illuminate Philadelphia’s Independence Hall in blood-red. They also positioned two marines in dress uniform behind Biden to further intensify his rhetoric that “Donald Trump and the maga Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.”

“maga Republicans do not respect the Constitution,” Biden claimed. “They do not believe in the rule of law. They do not recognize the will of the people. They refuse to accept the results of a free election. And they’re working right now, as I speak, in state after state to give power to decide elections in America to partisans and cronies, empowering election deniers to undermine democracy itself. maga forces are determined to take this country backwards—backwards to an America where there is no right to choose, no right to privacy, no right to contraception, no right to marry who you love. They promote authoritarian leaders, and they fan the flames of political violence that are a threat to our personal rights, to the pursuit of justice, to the rule of law, to the very soul of this country.”

This is the same man who framed his campaign as a “battle for the soul of the nation,” then was used by Barack Obama to steal the presidential election. This is the same man who has pushed to ban and confiscate firearms from law-abiding Americans and who said if you are concerned about an intruder at your home, you should do what he told his wife to do: Go to wherever you keep your shotgun and shells, then go out on your balcony and “fire two blasts outside the house.”

In 2020 he said: “Those who say ‘the tree of liberty is watered with the blood of patriots,’ [paraphrasing Thomas Jefferson himself]—[that is] a great line, but guess what? The fact is, if you’re going to take on the government, you need an F-15 with Hellfire missiles. There is no way an AK-47 is going to take care of you if you’re worried about the government knocking down your door.” In 2021 he said: “If you think you need weapons to take on the government, you need F-15s and maybe some nuclear weapons.” Last month, he said: “And for those brave right-wing Americans who say [the Second Amendment] is all about keeping Americans independent and safe: You want to fight against a country? You need an F-15. You need something a little more than a gun.”

This is the same man and agenda Obama has used to oppose and defund local police, who are elected, appointed or otherwise accountable to their communities; to empower and arm federal agents, who are not; and to limit, ban and confiscate the firearms of law-abiding citizens. And this regime is not done yet.

Those behind Biden are sending a message to those who oppose them: You need something a little more than a gun, and we will take even your guns if we can.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters before Biden’s speech in Philadelphia, “[I]t’s not a political speech” and “he’s going to talk about uniting the people of this country who believe in equality and democracy.” Yet Biden condemned Donald Trump three times and condemned the Make America Great Again movement 13 times. There was nothing reconciliatory about this speech. Its purpose was to cast Republicans as fascists (or even terrorists, as we would see 10 days later) and signal the liberal media to treat them as such.

Such rhetoric represents a dangerous turn for the United States. The maga Republicans stand for limited government, free enterprise, free expression and local control. Yet Biden says these people “represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic” simply because they want to audit the 2020 election. Benito Mussolini’s mantra was “All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.” So if there are real fascist in America these days, they are among the radical leftists prosecuting anyone who stands up against their Big Government agenda.

Referring to “maga Republicans,” Jean-Pierre said, “When you are not with where a majority of Americans are, then you know, that is extreme. That is an extreme way of thinking.” The Biden regime does not want American citizens to exercise their rights to freely express their views. It is building a one-party state that condemns those who differ from the party line and prosecutes them as enemies of the nation. This has happened repeatedly in history, especially in countries where a socialist party like the Democratic Party seizes power.

The Washington Post characterized Biden’s speech as an “urgent wartime address.” It is glaringly apparent that both the Joebama team and its allies in the corporate media believe they are at war with those who believe in principles like the rule of law, separation of powers, equal protection, civil liberties and free and fair elections. This regime is waging a virtual war to transfer rights from the people to the government until they amass enough power to start forcibly redistributing wealth, restricting movement, mandating health measures, increasing surveillance, and further transforming what was once the freest nation on Earth. A key battle strategy is to demonize those who say such powerful governments are dangerous. Yet history shows us that such demonization often leads to war.

The fact that Biden’s team placed uniformed marines directly behind him (violating a Department of Defense directive) shows that civil war is now a possibility. Meanwhile, his regime has been authorizing federal agencies to stockpile guns and ammunition in preparation for such a war. But it would be good publicity for the radical left if small government conservatives fired the first shot. Those who supported Biden’s inauguration incited violence at the Capitol protest on Jan. 6, 2021. In the same way, the Biden regime is now doing everything in its power to antagonize and perhaps incite American traditionalists into a much bigger conflict.

In “What Will Happen After Trump Regains Power,” my father, Trumpet editor in chief Gerald Flurry, explained that President Trump was actually the legitimate winner of the 2020 election. The radical Obama-Biden administration stole the election from him using fraudulent mail-in ballots, but the Bible prophesies Trump’s return to power. Yet this return will not necessarily be easy. The Joebama regime has tremendous power, so Trump “will have to fight for it,” he wrote. “It doesn’t have to be military action, but it certainly could. President Trump could also lead some states to secede from the union.”

Such a movement would give leftists the war they have been agitating for, but Bible prophecy indicates that any such conflict will result in a victory for the conservatives—but it will be temporary. My father further explained that President Trump is a type of King Jeroboam ii from 2 Kings 14:26-28, which state: “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. Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might, how he warred, and how he recovered Damascus, and Hamath, which belonged to Judah, for Israel, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?”

God used President Trump to save America from the radical Obama-Biden administration seeking to transform it into a socialist dictatorship six years ago. But the Obama-Biden administration came roaring back. So President Trump will have to fight and war to recover the office stolen from him during the 2020 presidential election. 2 Kings 14:26-28 indicate that Trump will have some initial success in this fight, but the only way for the American people to make such success permanent is to repent of the sins that have allowed such corruption to take root in America’s government!
