IMPEACHMAS--Government, Blasphemy and --INVOKING THE 1ST (COMMANDMENT)

EXCLUSIVE TO DER PUTSCH PRESS///SATURDAY, THE WINTER SOLSTICE, 


 "I am the Lord thy God; thou shalt not have strange gods before Me."
 blasphemy--the act or offense of speaking sacrilegiously about God or sacred things; profane talk.

     Lately, there appears to be an incursion of the Church into the State and blame it all on the impeachment of the President last week by the US House of Representatives. During debate over the vote on HR755, the resolution to impeach the President, Marita Gaganan reports from Time on the comment by Rep  Barry Loudermilk.  (R-GA)


Republican Congressman Suggests Trump Is Being Treated Worse Than Jesus Amid Impeachment Debate

A Republican lawmaker compared President Donald Trump to Jesus Christ during a debate on the House floor about impeachment.
     Next, the President has to comment on the current afterlife status of a respected congressman, Brett Samuels and Morgan Chalfant report from The Hill;

Trump's Dingell insults disrupt GOP unity amid impeachment Trump's real-time response to Wednesday's impeachment vote in the House was to throw bitter and personal insults at rivals during a raucous rally in Battle Creek, Mich. But it was his remarks about the late Rep. and his widow, Rep. , that were too much for a number of Republicans.

#impeachmas--As if that isn't enough in the ongoing assault on blasphemy, the word Christmas has been subverted to #impeachmas relating to the House vote last week. Note Wally's subversion of "Seasons Greetings" to "Seasons Impeachment;"


     The most damaging blow to the separation of Church and State came from Christianity Today in an article reported by Mark Galli;

Trump Should Be Removed from Office In our founding documents, Billy Graham explains that Christianity Today will help evangelical Christians interpret the news in a manner that reflects their faith. The impeachment of Donald Trump is a significant event in the story of our republic. It requires comment.

In response, the President used the tried and true technique of rebuttal, calling those responsible "communists;"

"I guess the magazine, 'Christianity Today,' is looking for Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, or those of the socialist/communist bent, to guard their religion. How about Sleepy Joe? The fact is, no President has ever done what I have done for Evangelicals, or religion itself!"

After pro-impeachment editorial, Trump accuses Christianity Today of communist tilt

President Trump continued his attacks against the evangelical magazine that supported impeachment in a recent editorial. Christianity Today announced its support for removing the president from office in an editorial published on Thursday. The president accused Christianity Today, which was founded by Billy Graham, of having a socialist or communist tilt on Twitter on Friday afternoon, hours after he blasted them for being " far-left."
     Surprisingly, the President received support from the son of the founder of the magazine, as reported by David Badash in The New Civil Rights Movement;

Franklin Graham Rushes to Defend President Over 'Elitist' Evangelical Magazine's Attack: My Father 'Voted for Donald Trump'


     Trashing The Savior isn't anything new by those in the spotlight. Back in August, 1966, John Lennon compared the Beatles to Christ in his infamous quote;
     "Christianity will go, it will vanish and shrink. I needn’t argue about that; I know I’m right and I will be proved right. We’re more popular than Jesus now. I don’t know which will go first – rock & roll or Christianity. Jesus was all right, but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It’s them twisting it that ruins it for me.

When John Lennon's 'Jesus' Controversy Turned Ugly

"If I'd said, 'Television is more poplar than Jesus,' I might have got away with it!" John Lennon lamented as cameras rolled from each of the three major American TV networks. The cheeky remark drew a laugh from the assembled crowd of journalists, but recently Lennon hadn't been so lucky.

RED FLAG
Checkpoint Charlie: NATO, Article 5 and the Berlin Wall
There was no North American Treaty Organization, NATO, immediately following the close of World War Two. By the close of the decade, due to pressure from the Soviet Union, particularly in Germany, the alliance was formed with 12 initial members. The concept of “collective security” had been around for over 30 years, at least on the Continent, with respect to the World War One League of Nations; neither the United States nor the Soviet Union were members.

Red Flag: The U.S.-Japan Security Pact of 1960
The recent statement by the White House concerning a “bilateral” treaty between the United States and Japan from 1960 raised the issue of the former’s lack of a security-military commitment, with the latter doing the heavy lifting. It comes as no surprise in light of other treaties such as NATO in Europe with the U.S. again carrying The Weight.
Part and parcel to how it all unfolded had to do with certain ambiguous positions by the two nations coupled with the American public not totally informed of the agreement. The situation was quite different in Japan. (09 March 2025)
