Yes, Jesus Would Have Been Branded A Domestic Extremist Today

 

What if, instead of being born into the Roman police state, Jesus had been born at this moment in time? What kind of reception would Jesus and his family be given? Would we recognize the Christ childโ€™s humanity, let alone his divinity? Would we treat him any differently than he was treated by the Roman Empire? If his family were forced to flee violence in their native country and sought refuge and asylum within our borders, what sanctuary would we offer them?

 

A singular number of churches across the country have asked those very questions in recent years, and their conclusions were depicted with unnerving accuracy by nativity scenes in which Jesus and his family are separated, segregated and caged in individual chain-link pens, topped by barbed wire fencing.

 

Those nativity scenes were a pointed attempt to remind the modern world that the narrative about the birth of Jesus is one that speaks on multiple fronts to a world that has allowed the life, teachings and crucifixion of Jesus to be drowned out by partisan politics, secularism, materialism and war, all driven by a manipulative shadow government called the Deep State.

 

The modern-day church has largely shied away from applying Jesusโ€™ teachings to modern problems such as war, poverty, immigration, etc., but thankfully there have been individuals throughout history who ask themselves and the world: what would Jesus do?

Who's behind the antiwar rally in DC?

antiwar.com

 

Who are we?

This site is devoted to the cause of non-interventionism and is read by libertarians, pacifists, leftists, "greens," and independents alike, as well as many on the Right who agree with our opposition to imperialism. Our initial project was to fight against intervention in the Balkans under the Clinton presidency. We applied the same principles to Clinton's campaigns in Haiti and Kosovo and bombings of Sudan and Afghanistan. Our politics are libertarian: our opposition to war is rooted in Randolph Bourne's concept that "War is the health of the State."

Randolph Bourne quotes

Randolph Silliman Bourne (May 30, 1886 - December 22, 1918) was aleft wingacademic who was an ardent voice for social justice,[1] and is best known for his phrase "War is the health of the State".[2]

"Who that saw the Paterson Strike Pageant in 1913 can ever forget that thrilling evening when an entire labor community dramatized its wrongs in one supreme outburst of group-emotion? Crude and rather terrifying, it stamped into one's mind the idea that a new social art was in the American world, something genuinely and excitingly new."[12][13]

"He [the radical] feels himself, not as an idle spectator of evolution, but as an actual co-worker in the process. He does not wait timidly to jump until all the others are ready to jump; he jumps now, and anticipates that life which all desire, but which most, through inertia, prejudice, insufficient knowledge, and feeble sympathy, distrust or despair of."[14]

"As long as the employer is entrenched in property rights with the armed state behind him, the power will be his, and the class that does the diverting will not be labor." - "What is Exploitation?", The New Republic, November 4th, 1916[15]

"Yes, that is what I would have felt, done, said! I could not judge him and his work by those standards that the hopelessly moral and complacent English have imposed upon our American mind. It was a sort of moral bath; it cleared up for me a whole new democratic morality, and put the last touch upon the old English way of looking at the world in which I was brought up and which I had such a struggle to get rid of" - On Rousseau's General Will

Randolph Bourne Institute

The Randolph Bourne Institute was founded in 2001 and states that it promotes "a non-interventionist foreign policy for the United States as the best way of fostering a peaceful, more prosperous world.' [1].

 

On its website, which hasn't been updated since 2002, it states that it runs Antiwar.com. Antiwar.com states on its website that "our politics are libertarian" and that the founders "were active in the Libertarian Party during the 1970s; in 1983, we founded the Libertarian Republican Organizing Committee, to work as a libertarian caucus within the GOP. Today, we are seeking to challenge the traditional politics of 'Left' and 'Right'." [2]

Intent is to find out more about this organization, which looks left-leaning and pro-labor.

Makes sense given that the anti-war movement was traditionally rooted more in the left than the right.

What are its priorities?

Who runs it now?

What kind of peace does it seek?

These are all legit questions.

Better to dig than blindly support. The deeper the dig, the more we know.
