Many try to slow-down and look forward to time out-and-about to visit Family, but as for my immediate Family it is now down to just me and my Sister (and we do Dinner together often) so instead I prefer to be busy during the Holidays and not take time off from writing/recording - I stay involved paying attention to all the disastrous stuff going on so you don't have to but instead just catch my Show to get caught up (pun intended, as you're about to see/hear (not mocking or making fun of the topic, just a joke segway to next sentence LOL)). Pastor Jeff Jones joins me for CTP Christmas episode. Some very "HEAVY" discussion (Armageddon, The Rapture ((aka: "caught up") as not all Christian sects recognize what some consider controversial concept), more) plus some "LIGHTER" fare (Die Hard and It's A Wonderful Life Christmas movies).

[ChristiTutionalist Politics podcast begin Show intro]

Welcome to ChristiTutionalist Politics podcast a K a CTP in association with savage and filtered podcast The Liberty beacon calm and I am your host Joseph M Lenard and that's L E N A R D   CTP is your no must no fuss just me you And occasional gas type podcast as Graham Norton would say let's get out of the show 

[ChristiTutionalist Politics podcast - Segment 1]

Welcome to Christstitutionalist politics season one episode 22. If you're watching on the YouTuber Rumble video channel, you'll see I have a guest. It is Rick Walker and we'll get to him in a second. And why he's here. But today is one of those odd episodes. I normally if I have a guest record a segment that they would be segment two following a lead in. Well today we're just going raw with Rick the whole episode. So this is going to be a little different kind of episode and the topic of the Liberty Beacon dot com piece. Gray area or gray areas. Part one there will be a part two. This is planned to drop around November 18. So without further ado, let me just introduce Rick Walker and have him explain who he is. Oh, a cannuck. Back to back canneks. It's going to be. I thought I'd get some Canadian perspective in the show. 

Joseph M Lenard:   Hello everybody, welcome to Christitutionalist Politics, season one episode 27. This show is going to be basically our Christmas show, if you could see. Oh, right. Yeah. Oh, right. Now I have a machine gun. But anyway, if you're watching on YouTube or on a rumble, or forgot the other thing there, you could see my shirt is actually cooperating. Merry Christmas. I thought the green Mary in the mass might get goofed up by the green screen in the background. But hey, it's showing. So bonus.

Pastor Jeff Jones (God's Family Room):   That's good.

Joseph M Lenard:   Yeah. Yeah. It's good. You look good. Thank you. Thank you. You do too, my friend. Now season one episode 27. This is planning on airing December 23, 2023. So right before Christmas. So yep. But Christmas episode and the Liberty Beacon dot com. Yes, there still will be a corresponding piece that dropped Saturday the 23rd of December. But yes, it too will just all be about Christmas. Whereas this show as most know already is in conjunction with the correspond with my piece that drops every Saturday on the Liberty Beacon dot com. And please check the transcript. An older piece the politics of Potterville since it's a wonderful life will have been playing on endless loop on most TV channels already for a month and a half by the time you see this. I'm the one where I ball that doesn't discuss the Christmas story aspect of it. But the politics hidden in it that you don't think about and don't really see what are there. You're getting subconsciously so check the transcript what you could find at bus route. That's where the show drops every Saturday morning and then it migrates to the other platforms. But the transcript you can definitely find at bus route dot com and you will see that bonus material like I put in the transcript every week. Now without further ado, let's get into the Christmas. I guess joining me is my friend pastor Jeff Jones of God's family room. Taylor, Michigan and welcome to the show my friend Jeff.

Pastor Jeff Jones (God's Family Room):   Joe, thank you so much for having me. I really I didn't notice your Christitutionalist politics behind you and I love it. I this first time I saw that word and that describes me. Yes, I'm a Christian.

Joseph M Lenard:   You know, others are who I have in mind when I trademark that term. I feel like it's a calling. You know the way I look at it. Conservative has become a pejorative in many senses or it evokes an emotionally hysterical reaction in some. So I figured bring fellow Christians together, right? Real Christians, not the fake Pelosi and Biden types. I was born and raised Catholic. I don't and I think you know, right? I coined the term for Francis the nincompoke. Have you heard me say that? He's far more interested in communism than Catholicism.

Pastor Jeff Jones (God's Family Room):   So that's a that's a long twist of alliances through through Moscow and the Vatican. That's for sure. Yeah. Hope you don't mind my no shave November. Oh, working on it. So little growth. No, I did not fall in my face before I went into my office and I got a dirty floor. That's not what happened.

Joseph M Lenard:   Yeah, we are recording in November before Thanksgiving. Even sorry about that. Although I do have my Christmas lights up and a neighbor down the street has theirs on already. So I said, Hey, I'm not going to let them be the only ones. So I've got all my Christmas lights on already. Six weeks ahead. You know, I normally wait till Thanksgiving, but you know what? I want to first ask you about though, Halloween because you did something so special at God's family room. I'd like you to tell this audience about that a great fun different kind of thing to get get people to the church.

Pastor Jeff Jones (God's Family Room):   Yeah, you know, I'm not a I'm not a fan of Halloween, but we take advantage. We leverage the timeframe and it works out pretty good for the story that we do. We do a live outdoor drama of 13 events and that number are specifically chosen of a dramatized version of the book of Revelation and it takes about 50 to 60 people to pull this event off. 13 different stations along the way that is a walk through drama. You can go to that. I think it's I think it's still yeah, that you can still go to it. It's HTT PS colon double slash RIP dot God's family room dot com and you can do a virtual tour still of that or you can take a 13 segmented. It's 13 one minute segments kind of of the event with questions and answers of what you're actually seeing a little bit. It's still under some development and we're still working on other distribution for it. But again, it is a video documented of walking through a live woods at night and we kind of prep it with reminding everybody that this is a live woods. There are things out of our control. We cut about 2500 foot of trails through it and there's black widows and brown recluse and snakes and rodents and poison ivy and so we warn everybody please stay on the trails. You get off the trail. You're on your own. So that that in itself makes people a little bit in the little say you are kidding. I said no, that is the absolute truth and all of a sudden people are a little bit more apprehensive about walking through the woods at night and so they are there. But we did our best to remove them off the path. So it kind of corrals people through the trails. So we put up these six foot high walls of black plastic and we route them through the through the woods like walls on both sides and then every so often there's a breakout session and this year. The first when you when you walk through again, we warn some people. There's 60 some strobes and and wandering. Yeah, yeah. So we tell everybody don't stare into that stuff, but there's you know, there's a bunch of demons. We want everybody. There's demons in our woods and but all of our demons are wearing name tags. So hello.

Joseph M Lenard:   My name is Bill. I will be your demon for tonight.

Pastor Jeff Jones (God's Family Room):   Yeah. Yeah. So but stuff like prejudice and hatred, anger. Selfishness, confusion, anxiety, depression. These are truly the things that haunt us through our life and they seem to follow us everywhere we go. So I warn everybody be careful what follows you, you know, and so and there's some that are live and some that are not and so what we we we prep with this story that could you imagine it being rush hour on maybe a Friday night and you're driving by Metro Airport and all of a sudden. Semi truck drivers start vanishing and airplane pilots start vanishing and cab drivers and high load drivers and all over the world is going on and and could you imagine the mayhem that would follow an event like that and so even the word rapture doesn't exist in a in a Bible in a I guess an English version of the Bible. It is it is the Greek word raptale does exist and in raptale was translated caught up. It will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air. And so I try not I try to avoid theologies on all that a lot of people a lot of different understandings of it, but it's not a matter so much of if and when and how but just says we're going to be caught up, right? So there's other things I can take people to but could you imagine a vent like that taking place and all of a sudden planes crashing semi trucks bus drivers with kids and everything just I mean the the the outfall of something like that would be horrendous and then that's kind of the preface for what you're about to experience as we walk them through 13 different events of the book of Revelation begins with the. And I showed them my Bible. Sure I got one around here somewhere. I got a huge one right here and I don't want to lift it up. I got a bad arm right now. So but you know, let's just say here's one of my Bibles. So that represents 7000 years of history of humanity. Everything that's there has happened. It was prophesied to happen and it did happen. It ain't no prayer is going to change what's coming. God already said it. It's going to take place. That's all I got left. Yeah, it was deliver for those. And it's done.

Joseph M Lenard:   And it's listening on audio only. Yeah, picture like one 75th of the entire Bible there at the end. Yeah, almost the 13 almost could be also in a way the like 13 different layers of Dante's hell.

Pastor Jeff Jones (God's Family Room):   A lot of people talk about that. I've had people walk through and and use that same analogy that again. So we station these 13 events. The first thing that people do is they come to a station that we call the mark. And again, so we have two people just dressed like normal and they're selling the idea kind of like circus barkers and oddly enough we have that whole scene kind of set up with it clowns. So they're saying, Hey, take the mark. Come on. It's be great. Can you imagine the convenience? You got to get the mark. This is going to really help you through life and you're not going to, you're not going to get in line. You just swipe your hand and let them scan your duorectinal scan so you can get on the airplane and and you know, you can't hope you won't be able to open up the refrigerators at right aid until they first do a scan on your hand or your eyes and and they're trying to sell that thing and I'm there narrating as we're bringing people through in groups of six to a dozen at a time telling them that we've talked about the mark and other areas, you know, and we got to remember that, you know, John's having a dream, a vision of something in the future and

Joseph M Lenard:   how else we couldn't understand at the time. But no, how would it make sense now?

Pastor Jeff Jones (God's Family Room):   Yeah. So how would you describe a bunch of people waiting in line, getting a mark and told that you can't go to work. You can't cash your paycheck. You can't get Social Security. And so you first get a get a mark and and again, you know, John's having a dream and if he doesn't know what he's seeing, he can only describe that in words that are known. So he uses that terminology. I'm not I'm not saying that that the COVID jab was the mark or is the mark, but it's just kind of relative kind of relative that you couldn't go to work. You couldn't go into grocery stores. You couldn't go to restaurants. You you couldn't cash your check. They were talking about you certainly couldn't go into your your school. So very interesting. Everybody just, you know, marched right in step with what they were told.

Joseph M Lenard:   Yeah, the card is kind of a working its way to the everybody.

Pastor Jeff Jones (God's Family Room):   It's definitely a precursor. It's definitely a test precursor to what how easy it will be to get people to respond. All you got to do is tell them you can't do this. And again, and there was so much objections to it and that and certainly nobody wanted to get sick and many of us know people that died from COVID. I got I got I got COVID several times. My family members got COVID. We have lost a couple of friends to it. So it was a real thing. It's unfortunate that it was man created and then inserted into our lifestyle. So we go through the mark and the next thing they come to is a scene that looks like a living room and someone screaming as they try to get through traffic to get home and all's they find are empty clothes of their parents and in a panic looking for comfort and can't find it. They move along and someone comes up on like a broadcast steps out in a suit and tie and tells everybody we don't know what's happening. It could be an alien invasion. But you can trust me. I will get to the resolve. He says if I have to march against heaven myself, we will find an answer to where everybody is going, what's happening. Maybe this is some Russian or Chinese new terrorist or what it's form of terror. And so he said pretty good prep to all that. And then we end up in front of a bottomless pit. Our illustration of a bottomless pit and smokes coming out of it. And we go to the book of Revelation that talks about the bottomless pit will be opened up. Smoke will ascend out from the deep. Smoke will turn into creatures. One of those creatures is kind of scorpion like. And if it stings you, you're driven insane for five months. You'll look for death but unable to find it. And so at that point we have 400 watts of power with some horrible sounds and flying over your head on wires are six and seven foot scorpions waiting to sting you. So they're going to come home. They got to walk by one. They got to go over a bridge and it's like swinging their face. But against smoke mirrors, we have a low budget. But again, we do what we do with it and try to create. And then we come to a scene where we call it.

Joseph M Lenard:   Full disclosure. I wanted to, but I did not make it. So I will definitely put our IP. God's family room.com in the show notes for people to check out. And I don't want you to give it all away. So let's just leave it there and ask people go check. Now, do you have any. I don't want to say fun. This isn't meant to be fun. It's meant to be purposeful. Do you have anything like one of my favorite Christian movies of all time is the resurrection of Gavin Stone. Did you ever remember that? I remember that. I remember the. I love that because it delivers great message in a comedic. You know, too much Christian fair is just beating people over the head with the Bible. And that doesn't help. That was great. Now in that film, spoiler alert, if you haven't seen it. I'm not sure. A guy goes on probation needs to do community service. And he goes to a church where they're going to have the crucifixion of Christ as a play.

Pastor Jeff Jones (God's Family Room):   Are you planning anything like that for Christmas? I just kind of like a. Free meditation walkthrough that just lights up. I did create some potential scenes. Yeah, through the forest again. But at night, you know, again, open, you know, certain. But we haven't. We haven't clarified. It's a lot of work. I mean, you know, our IP, we put about 500 human hours into that event. And it's not just a couple of things that are. If you don't know, you know, if you really want to see a movie or look at the metrics and it's like I said, smoke and mirrors and people actors walking around stationary dummies and we've got a 12 foot dragon and a cemetery scene and people are challenged at that point to experience after experiencing these things that are written out in the book of Revelation when they happen This is not a, people could maybe try to argue with me, but I can show them very specific things that have taken place, are taking place that are right out of the book of Revelation right now.

Joseph M Lenard:   Our time is not God's time. It could be one year our time, it could be 10 years, it could be a hundred years before it all unfold. So when you're saying we're in the end times, that doesn't mean you're saying, oh my God, you guys are following the world and then you come on, you're not saying that. No, we don't, no one shall know the time or the place.

Pastor Jeff Jones (God's Family Room):   You know, again, we just had a couple of last few weeks, every other Sunday is kind of a prophetic night. I do prophetic current events and then it's followed up with some, right now we're going through the references of Edom and Idumea and Mount Seer as a illustration of America in the end days of prophecy. And so, you know, again, Noah was told the flood was coming and then eight days before it came, he said, get in the boat, because we're gonna, things are happening, right? So we're told to watch, is our scriptural reference that we use that we gotta watch and not in panic, we could watch in joy or we could watch realizing the need for people to hear the truth before it's too late. You know, I always say that, you know, hell is truth is truth seeing too late. And so, you know, we've got to recognize the fact that God's working, he's got a plan. You know, I believe that I will never experience the wrath of the Lamb. And so, although it doesn't mean that I won't go through turmoil in my life or whatever else there is out there or how long or how, if he does tell me the days will be shortened for the elect's sake. So, it's a lot of things that we can talk about on that. But again, the whole event is recorded, walk through it, enjoy it, share it with people. We get a clear presentation of the gospel and you get challenged to accept Christ. And so, I bet you, I don't know if it's ever been done anywhere else where people have used Halloween to share the gospel. And we leveraged that timeframe of ghosts and goblins and people waiting out in the cold in the rain, why wait until you go to haunted house?

Joseph M Lenard:   Exactly, exactly. That was brilliant on your part. I love that you're doing that, that you did that. You'll hopefully maybe do it again next year if the world doesn't end tomorrow.

Pastor Jeff Jones (God's Family Room):   Yeah.

Joseph M Lenard:   But I never thought about revelation in this way until you just said that. My book, well, my book, Terror Strikes Coming Soon To A City In New Year, you're not fear porn. Right? Revelation, there's a lot of stuff to be fearful of there, but it's not meant to be fear porn, but that these things will come to pass. And at least have some degree of understanding these things will happen that you're not totally surprised by it all.

Pastor Jeff Jones (God's Family Room):   Well, I think the key thing is, is that if he's showing it to us, he's telling us to prepare for it in some way, right? So, nothing wrong with, you know, keeping some water, extra water in your basement and a few extra rounds in your gun or whatever. But at the same time, I don't trust in who I am or what I can do. I'm trying to trust the Lord. And then again, as that day comes upon me, the whole word revelation means to take the cover off. So let's show you what else that you've seen from Genesis to this point and show you that it is relative of events that are gonna happen. And when they start to happen, when rivers show up in the middle of deserts that weren't there and when, you know, when Israel starts plumbing, plumbing into a, into the side of a mountain called referencing Jehoshaphat's valley for a day when they may have to get away and hide from things. And again, there's so much happening in scripture and layers, like you'd said, there is the, there is the Old Testament believer waiting for the Messiah's coming. There is the New Day church trying to grasp this Messiah who came and then yet there's the future church that's been so manipulated, hoored and watered down that they don't know what's coming. They wouldn't know truth if, you know, if it had a big sign on it flashing, this is truth or they would actually look for that rather than take the time to unlayer or uncover scripture and start matching words and verses that says, wow, you know, hey, you know, I always tell people, I said, there ain't no prayer is gonna stop what's coming. So you can pray all you want, you know, but this ain't a prayer that's gonna be answered.

Joseph M Lenard:   I saw. Right. God is not going to change God's mind at this point. It's ordained just like we discussed in the past, Pastor Rick and WAAM, our friend Pastor Rick.

Pastor Jeff Jones (God's Family Room):   Sure.

Joseph M Lenard:   Discussing this whole anti-Semitism. The Jews killed Christ. Yeah, a few had blood on their hands, tried to get Pilate to be the one to do their dirty work that doesn't mean Jews of today are responsible for it. It doesn't mean all Jews of that time were responsible for it and none of them were really responsible because it was ordained to happen. It had to happen. They were all pawns in God's chess game.

Pastor Jeff Jones (God's Family Room):   Yeah. So again, you know, when God speaks prophetically, they ain't gonna, once he says something, he didn't go back on his word, you know, I mean, Moses tried to get him to change his mind. Abraham tried to get him to change his mind. Others have tried to get God to change his mind and he even gave a couple opportunities, man. He said, yeah, if you can find eight righteous people inside of him, I won't destroy it, but he couldn't, he couldn't find the whole of their word.

Joseph M Lenard:   That was not a changing of a mind that was providing free will and an opportunity for the out. Yeah. He gave us the out. It wasn't there. So yeah, now you mentioned a few extra bullets for your gun. So I'm gonna drop that my God and guns article came out on the Liberty Beacon.com on November the 11th, which is coincidentally right before kind of we're recording this, but that's, I think enough fire and brimstone. Hopefully we've got some people left for some more lighthearted stuff.

Pastor Jeff Jones (God's Family Room):   Yeah, everybody doesn't disappear. I mean, people live through it and enter into the millennial age. And so, wow, crazy.

Joseph M Lenard:   Yeah, but die hard is absolutely a Christmas movie because the writer says it is, but what are your thoughts on die hard as a Christmas movie?

Pastor Jeff Jones (God's Family Room):   Well, you know, I've tried to and I've, you know, guess run this in reviews several different times. And you know, a lot of people will say that, yeah, that is their favorite Christmas movie. Obviously Christ is left out of most of it, although the, not clearly, I know, not entirely. Like I said, I mean, the only thing is, is you know, here's his ex wife at a, at a,

Joseph M Lenard:   ex wife whose name is Holly. And that's one of the important Christmas clues. And Holly does read a scripture during the movie. And I'm holding here for those who could see at J. Leonard Detroit YouTube and Rumble channel from Picture House, the 12 Reasons Why Die Hard is a Christmas movie. I was on the Hodge Podge podcast and we went down all 12. And he even thought of one extra, Hans and the 12 anti-disciples. There's another connection to the 12 Days of Christmas, the 12 Apostles. Hans had 12 anti-apostles. So there is a lot of Christmas in there that people don't think until they view it, looking for those like Easter eggs. And I joked about the beginning, whole, whole, whole, now I got a machine gun. Yeah. Yeah.

Pastor Jeff Jones (God's Family Room):   I do think the application though, here's a guy who's been broken through divorce, goes back wanting to repair the relationship of his home and family, you know, at Christmas. He's anticipating.

Joseph M Lenard:   Holly doesn't give any more Christmas than someone looking for redemption and to see his family on Christmas.

Pastor Jeff Jones (God's Family Room):   Yeah, so, you know, all that. And I'm sure, like I said, if you keep that in mind and you can probably go scene by scene and start seeing the other applications or even the music in the background or a word that's placed or a scripture that's written down on a wall or, you know, there's a lot of little tidbits like that in a lot of different movies. Even, you know, because even in Hanukkah, you know, it's about taking back the temple from being defiled by the Greeks and relighting some candles and understanding that we're the light in a dark world. And if that candle's not lit, it only gets darker. And so that whole story, like you said, of redemption.

Joseph M Lenard:   And the Christmas miracle at the end, it is snowing in LA in the form of the papers.

Pastor Jeff Jones (God's Family Room):   Yeah.

Joseph M Lenard:   Snowfall, and you don't necessarily think about that until you point out that's the writer's intent. That's the subconscious element. It's snowing in LA, a Christmas miracle. But anyway, let's talk to the other one, obviously, it's a wonderful life that everybody's probably tired, seen another thousand times by the time this airs and of course that flop at the box office. But it is such a classic now. It's a wonderful life.

Pastor Jeff Jones (God's Family Room):   Well, again, I think a lot of people, you know, love the story of hope, love the story of good community. You know, a couple of things that aren't talked about a lot and that is certainly, you know, the crash of 29. And also the introduction of plastics or soybeans being turned into plastic, some unique economics. But then certainly no one really asked the question, where did the money go that it was in Potter's hand? When did the banking system, that's where everything goes.

Joseph M Lenard:   Yeah, well, I'm gonna wrap it up here and I'll go back to then my article that dropped in, I think October I dropped the politics of Potterville. Because like you're alluding to Potter, what indeed would it have been like beyond what Clarence showed George, if Potterville became the reality rather than Bedford Falls. And I discussed that tyrant Potter being the tyrant over Potterville. That's why he hated George and wanted rid of George is because he wanted to kill free markets. Politics you don't think about, but are there in this Christmas movie because, you know, we are the shining city on the hill and bedroom falls is a, not a dichotomy, not a microcosm is the word I'm looking for. All America should an evil tyrant like Potter have his way.

Pastor Jeff Jones (God's Family Room):   You know, it's what Trump was trying to do and he was trying to topple the banking industry because they had ruined free enterprise or industry as a whole. And most people don't just have no idea how deep the background of all that goes, especially from 1929 to today and bankruptcy that we've never come out of and Federal Reserve and where does reserve money go? Where does it come from? And what, you know, banks are only in business if there's debt, if there's no debt, there's no business to the banks. And so that'll process is a lot to discuss and think about.

Joseph M Lenard:   Yeah, and again, we're kidding a little too serious again. So we will call it quits. Thank you, my friend, Pastor Jeff Jones of God's Family Room in Taylor. Tell us when you're hours of service.

Pastor Jeff Jones (God's Family Room):   Yeah, sure. Sunday mornings at 10 I teach, you can catch me live at Jeff Jones on Facebook. I teach.

Joseph M Lenard:   Although there are a lot of different Jeff Jones on Facebook.

Pastor Jeff Jones (God's Family Room):   Yeah, there is. You look for Mr. Blue's guys. If you look for Mr. Blue's guys, that'll help you get through all that. But or God's Family Room is where we are on Facebook as well, which our 11 o'clock is our morning service. We have a six o'clock evening service. It does vary. Like this Sunday, Thanksgiving weekend, we don't have a Sunday evening service. We tell you, go, enjoy your family. That happens. So, and then we're doing this prophecy thing, excuse me, till the end of the year on Sunday night. Get some hair cups. Get the hair cups. Yeah. And then Wednesday nights, my wife does an amazing job. Brenda Jones live as she talks about how we become better people. And so it stimulates me to messages and stimulates me in a lot of ways. So I encourage you seven o'clock on Wednesday night.

Joseph M Lenard:   And I wanna thank you. I'm a personal note. Personally, thank you, my friend. You really are my friend. I'm not just saying that. And thank you to God's Family Room and your congregation is the word.

Pastor Jeff Jones (God's Family Room):   It's looking for you.

Joseph M Lenard:   You will help me win my grand damn years ago, died in me being on Social Security Disability was scrambling of a distant cousin gifted me a car, but I still had to come up with money to put an engine in it. And you all helped me with that to some degree. So, I really appreciate it. And it's part of the show too, about charity. Terror strikes that info slash charity. I list a bunch of different charities about giving back, right? We all have times of need and while we may not feel great about taking help, we all sometimes may need it, whether it be financial or just figurative rather than literal, more mental than anything. Yeah, so giving back. So thanks for stopping by.

Pastor Jeff Jones (God's Family Room):   I appreciate it. Thanks for having me. I'd always good to see you, right? Take care. Merry Christmas.

Joseph M Lenard:   Merry Christmas. Yeah, oh my. How was I about to conclude the Christmas episode without saying Merry Christmas? All right, love you brother. Take care. Take care.

The Politics of Potterville


Um… No… Nothing to do with “Harry Potter!”

We are nearing that time again where “It’s A Wonderful Life” (IAWL) will be playing on some channel or another 24x7. I cannot imagine there is anyone, but suppose there must be some folks out there haven’t seen it and refuse to watch it (they get tired of hearing about it); so we won’t go into many Spoilers (if someone hasn’t seen it, doubt it possible they don’t know what it is about and what goes on in the film). This article, will discuss (as the title says: “Politics of Potterville” something I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone else go into, to fit The Liberty Beacon main “politics” focus). But, however, before we get into that… Another Christmas movie… “DIE HARD!” Yep, that’s right, putting to bed once-and-for-all the falsehood that Die Hard is NOT a Christmas movie.

VIDEO (24s): Die Hard – © 1988 – “Now I have a Machine-gun – Ho, Ho, Ho!”:

In the Spirit of “The Twelve Days of Christmas” Simon Ragoonanan wrote on behalf of Picture House Cinemas the “12 Reasons Why Die Hard Is A Christmas Movie” piece and I will quote just a few of his points.

First, foremost, his #11: “The writer says it is -- In 2020, Steven E de Souza, co-writer of Die Hard, made a compelling case that not only is Die Hard a Christmas movie, Die Hard is MORE of a Christmas movie than the seasonal classic White Christmas.”

#2: “John McClane's wife is called Holly -- The surname of John McClane's wife is a key bookend plot point at the heart of the movie. However, this distracts from the significance of her FIRST name, which is Holly - the most Christmassy name she could possibly have (unless she was called Rudolph).” Same reason why Marten’s Wife’s name is “HOPE” in my Terror Strikes: Coming Soon to a City Near You (declaration of Faith, in the manuscript, figurative and literal “Hope, over Fear” in the storyline (both mine, and Die Hard)).
[to drive the points home more, maybe she should have been "Holly Rudolph"]

#5: “It has a Christmassy family story -- A dad struggling to be reunited with his family on Christmas eve is as Christmassy as it gets.”
#7: “The villain is the Grinch -- Another classic American Christmas tale is How the Grinch Stole Christmas, about 'the Grinch' stealing all the presents of the town. Here, we have Hans Gruber, who wants to steal all the 'presents' from the Nakatomi Corporation.”

#9: “A Christmas present leads to the villain's demise (‘It's a Rolex…’).”

< snip, end FAIR-USE “quotations” >

For the rest of #9, and his other 7 reasons (which is NOT all encompassing in and of itself as a list, but again in Spirit of “Twelve Days of Christmas” and the “Twelve Apostles” and the like), see “12 Reasons Why Die Hard Is A Christmas Movie” piece.

Also Rob Fredette of HODGEPOD podcast (2 parter, part 1 on Apple, as well as part 2 on Apple), whose show I was on to discuss “Movies of the 1980’s” including Die Hard (in part 2), added the clear significance to the theme that there are 12 “Terrorists”… er… “Robbers”… well the 12 disciples of Hans (his Anti-Apostles).

NOW, AS FOR POTTERVILLE…


#1: Tyrant Potter wants total and complete control of the Town if only he could have a Monopoly by destroying his competition.

#2: COMMUNISM – yep, that’s right, however --- micro versus macro matters!

“Credit Unions” and many small/local Banks operating on the principle of “Community” and as George points out “You’re money is in so-and-so’s House” and the like. People VOLUNTARILY joining together as a “collective, by choice, group” of folks for THEIR OWN/INDIVIDUAL BEST INTERESTS (not government edicts, the original "It Takes A Village" intent not Hillary's warped Fascist "Wards of the State" sense) - versus the absolute and abject failing of Communism on the macro/larger “political” scale.


From my ChristiTutionalist TM Politics book “Will Followers Of Jesus Be Able To Save America?” chapter…

“The Left is not Progressive, they are regressive. They have not learned anything from History. Period! You don’t have to learn from the failure of Communism, Fascism, Socialism, via Marx, Lenin, Mao, Castro, et al (it has, and always will, FAIL anywhere and everywhere it is done, because of Human Nature) …. Learn from America!!! We tried Communism (‘Common-Wealth’) here in USA long before them all and of course it failed then too. The Bradford Colony tried (remember The Mayflower [communist] Compact?!?!) which promised they would all have EQUITY (the bullshit the Left peddles today rather than EQUAL RIGHTS and EQUAL OPPORTUNITY) that all would have ‘Equal Stakes’ and ‘Equal Shares’ (Community/Collective Ownership, no Private Property] of everything despite their level of work put in. Of course, guess what, ATLAS SHRUGGED ((likely where Ayn Rand got the idea, and) which is why the Left BANNED that Classic book from being read in Schools) as more and more (because it is Human Nature that some would be lazy) decided to do nothing and ride in the cart and the Cart had less and less people to pull the Cart. They almost all starved to death!!! UNTIL, Bradford recognized the failure of the Mayflower Compact and their settlement and instituted Free Markets, Private Property ownership, and all the great concepts America then went on to foster -- and as the saying goes ‘the rest is History’ (that people fail to learn from). And as Paul Harvey used to say ‘Now you know #TheRestOfTheStory!’”

Yep, just like the Left never learned, the success of “Solar” on the micro level; someone with Panels on their own Property with sufficient on-site Battery capacity to hold the Energy for hours/days the Sun isn’t shining. Abject failure of macro and Solar-Farms that in no-way ever can have Battery capacity for entire Cities let-alone entire States. And too their other lack and grasp of “unintended consequences” of their failing Leftist policies.


#3: The “Suicide-prevention” message and “one does not always recognize” the fallout, politically and of course effects upon others’ lives in general, of the movie. 

Along the “Suicide-prevention” aspects from my Terror Strikes: Coming Soon to a City Near You book “Comic Relief” chapter (weirdly enough, need see the whole chapter for the lead-in context). On average 22 Veterans lives are lost by their own hands (we owe them, we must help them)…

“Let us use by way of example the movie almost everyone has seen: It’s A Wonderful Life. In the dramatic portrayal the main character is shown how
life would have been if he hadn’t lived. He was brought to recall how had it not been for his intervention a pharmacist would have caused the death of a patient
by administering a wrong drug. That, clearly, is a dramatic impact. That, of course, was a movie! In REAL LIFE the influence and impact that people have on others’ lives may be infinitely more subtle! It may even be INDIRECT! The influence and  impact that one person has on another may then influence and/or impact another that may then have a major impact on a human life as a whole! You can be someone’s Clarence (a real life, in-the-flesh angel) to help them recover and heal!



BACK TO POLITICS IN GENERAL…

From my The Liberty Beacon “Norton v Shelby” piece (and see my YouTube @JlenardDetroit channel “Norton v Shelby” sneak-peek vlog)…

“I have previously discussed via TLB pieces the Fasci-Federalists of today vs original intent Federalists, let-alone the “concerns” the anti-Federalists had/argued about normal Human-nature and an eventual lurch Leftward toward Communism, Fascism, Socialism, Whatever-ism, all complete-Governmental-control schemes/systems on/of THE LEFT side of the overall Political Spectrum as discussed in “A Republic If You Can Keep It” and “Overblown Right-wing Extremism Narrative” and “Twisting/Warping language (part 2)” and “Democrats Always Ignore (Unintended Consequences) Natural Laws of Human Nature” TLB pieces.”

As if there is a bit of difference between Communism-Fascism-Socialism; this isn’t the 1930’s where the German NAZI-SOCIES ((unlike today’s FASCICRATS and American Communist Parties are basically one/same*)) were fighting the Moscow-backed-Marxist-Communists. There are now only minor quibbles between them all on how to exert power/control over all and everything – direct ownership or illusion of private-ownership but dictatorial control via government regulation (all means, to same end). It is all now just which set of Ruling Elites under the temporary banners they fly get to Lord over the imperfection. As said in several of my movies related pieces over time about Guardians Of The Galaxy 3 line: “He promised perfection, but he only really hated things as they were.” Which is the battle-cry of every would-be tyrant promise “utopia” (perfection, but no such thing as “perfect” and while America isn’t perfect it is far better for more (The Greater Good the Left pretends to care about, but too just another warping of a concept they destroy out-of-context)) and all about their “small group of Elites” gaining the power/control over the imperfection.

* As Norman Mattoon Thomas (The Socialist Party candidate for President of US) said in 1944 speech: “The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened… I no longer need to run as a Presidential candidate for the Socialist Party. The Democrat Party has adopted our platform.” And he was 100% correct, as I point out all the time the DNC adopted 28 planks of the NSDAP (Nazi-Socies) in their platform (albeit, more carefully crafted, deceptive, verbiage).


Also from my ChristiTutionalist TM Politics book “Some Twist Jesus’ Words” chapter…

“The original: ‘It Takes A Village’ (read: community) concept.
Responsibilities to our Brothers and Sisters. Hillary tried to cash in on that Liberal distortion and ObaMAO has tried to drop it a few times in regard to implying a ‘Moral imperative’ to/for a complete healthcare takeover (and/or countless other Obama initiatives [which obaMOAcare had to deal with power/control, just like in 1930’s Germany, NOT health-care]), rather than true reforms we would agree to. Like Charity, ‘It Takes A  Village’ is not offensive to Conservatives, on the contrary – we welcome it! It is, as always, the warped distortion of it by Liberals from voluntarily (in keeping with God’s gift to us of Free Will and expectation we “choose” to engage in it as part of our Faith and Salvation plans) over coercion/extortion/dictatorial-edicts… As with Charity, when it is forced/commanded by the State, it crossed from the simple [voluntary] ‘Community’ and becomes the ‘political Communism’ [mandates]!”

We all understand the concept and sometime necessity of having Family or Friends watch a Child, help educate or discipline a Child, to give Parents help. It does not mean make Children “Wards of the State” and basically surrender of Parental Rights and obligations (like "Hitler Youth" had more Rights and Parents feared their Children) – as The Left warped the concept into.
