Rick Wiles has decided there’s a Satanic Panic going on, and of course it’s being orchestrated by none other than former President Obama.

“We are witnessing a full-blown Marxist/communist resistance movement, a revolution in America,” Wiles said. “The chief banker funding the Purple Revolution is billionaire George Soros and the chief community organizer directing the insurrection in the streets is none other than Barack Hussein Obama … My gut feeling says Barack Obama is on the phone day and night and he is directing the protests, he is organizing, he is giving clear instructions to the people what to do and how to carry it out.”

Waitaminute, who decided the colour of the revolution? I’m good with purple and all, but we should have been asked. Oooh, it’s Wiles’s gut! I’ll just bet it’s a fact factory, of the alternative sort. I’d love to hear from Pres. Obama! What with being super powerful and stuff, he has my number, right? As for the constant refrain of Soros!, I haven’t seen a bloody penny. If people are getting paid for activism, it’s news to me and everyone else down here in the purple.

Wiles, who repeatedlycalled for Obama to be arrested and imprisoned when he was still in the White House, said that the recent protests against Trump are nothing short of sedition, which is itself inherently satanic.

“This is outright sedition,” he declared, “and we have laws in the United States against sedition…. What the Democrats are doing, and the news media and the Obamanista bureaucrats inside the government agencies, what they are doing is, these are acts of sedition.”

Sedition is so defined: incitement of discontent or rebellion against a government. Sedition is one of those concepts that finds itself entwined on the thorny ground of hallowed free speech. It’s rarely charged, (in uStates) and when it is, most people are acquitted. In 1917, Art Young did this political cartoon (click for full size):

I imagine Mr. Wiles hasn’t seen it, and it probably wouldn’t matter if he did. He’d still be busy screaming sedition! Considering the sheer amount of people who are more than unhappy with the current state of fascism, you’d have to arrest well over half of all people living in the States. That would certainly keep the courts busy, and probably cause the collapse of pretty much everything else, but what does that matter when your priority is quashing any and all dissent?

“You wanna get God worked up? You know what sedition reminds Him of?” Wiles asked. “Lucifer. It all goes back to Lucifer because what Lucifer did in heaven was commit sedition … So all acts of sedition are inspired by Lucifer.”

Lucifer gets a seriously bad rap in Christian Mythology. It isn’t Lucifer who was busy having uncontrollable temper tantrums, and mentally mindfucking people for fun, detailed in the old testament. It’s full of evil, immoral acts – genocide, wars, slavery, slaughter for no reason, rapes about every other page, and so on. That was all Jehovah. Also, the psychopathic monstrosity that is Jehovah can’t operate without a villain. Classic hero storyline, just one without a hero. As villains go, Lucifer is extremely laid back, and not into doing evil. It’s right there, in the big book of myths.

As such, Wiles warned that those who are opposing Trump are not only breaking the laws against sedition, but are also “breaking God’s laws.”

I could not possibly care less about the fictional Jehovah. I wouldn’t care if it was real. A god like that screams out to be overthrown and killed, as you would any evil. And I plan to be as seditious as I can be, even without Lucifer’s help. I will not go quietly into the fascist night.

Moving on to Lance Wallnau, always given to purplest of prose, who is crowing about his king parading heads.

Lance Wallnau hailed “the king” Donald Trump for taking on his enemies in the media and the Democratic Party.

He claimed that since God has anointed Trump, members of the media will only suffer when they challenge him. Wallnau lauded “the king” for attacking critical reports about him as “fake news.”

He went on to compare Trump’s public meeting with labor union leaders to David bringing Goliath’s head to Jerusalem, as described in 1 Samuel, explaining that Trump is parading his victory over his rivals in the labor-aligned Democratic Party.

I wonder how long it will be before someone thinks heads on pikes is ready for a comeback, American style. Wallnau’s insistence on referring to Trump as King is seriously disturbing enough.  As for Wallnau’s choice of story, there are two interesting things in the whole David and Goliath story. In the recounting of the slaying, Saul doesn’t know who David is:

17:55 And when Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said unto Abner, the captain of the host, Abner, whose son is this youth? And Abner said, As thy soul liveth, O king, I cannot tell.

17:56 And the king said, Enquire thou whose son the stripling is.

In just the previous chapter, though, Saul knows very well who David is, very well indeed.

16:21 And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him greatly; and he became his armourbearer.

16:22 And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray thee, stand before me; for he hath found favour in my sight.

Then there’s the question of who actually killed Goliath. 1 Samuel says David, but in 2 Samuel, that’s not the case:

21:19 And there was again a battle in Gob with the Philistines, where Elhanan the son of Jaareoregim, a Bethlehemite, slew [the brother of] Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.

‘The brother of’ was added by the editors of the KJV, so as to avoid the contradiction. Outside of those tidbits, the story is yet another one of pointless slaughter, just like all the rest.
