Satan Is NOT Hidden!
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
So many sayings that are perceived to be true are not true.
One of the greatest false sayings is the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he did not exist.
It's all nonsense. On Twitter a couple days ago somebody chastised me for not knowing more about Simone de Beauvoir, our very famous French Philosopher, feminist, early feminist.
She wrote The Second Sex.
She was the girlfriend and procurer of underage girls for the famous French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre.
And I pointed out a couple of obvious things about good old Simone de Beauvoir.
What a piece of absolutely monstrous human garbage and filth she was.
She was fired for corrupting a minor.
She was fascinated by and promoted pedophilia throughout her life.
She signed, along with a lot of other leftist Marxist French intellectuals in 1977, a big document saying, let's legalize pedophilia, let's release people from jail who are in there for pedophilia.
She enthusiastically collaborated with the Nazis when they occupied France in the 1940s.
She helped to groom underage children to be statutorily raped by Jean-Paul Sartre, who himself was another bookend of human filth.
And this is who the left praises.
She is taught in university curricula.
She is lauded as an influential feminist.
She wanted to set up a society, de Beauvoir, where women would be physically forced to not be at home and raise their children.
I mean, she was a complete sociopath, a sexual predator, a molester of children, a procurer of...
Well, she would seduce children, and then she would pass those children for a menage a trois with Jean-Paul Sartre, and then they would discard them.
You know, just the usual combine harvest, a sociopath running through the youth of the time and in the environment.
Absolute pieces of unbelievable human filth.
And this is not... This is not wildly uncommon at all.
Another French philosopher, Michel Foucault, was considered to be a genius.
Absolute genius is incomprehensible.
It's all just word salad pretentious garbage.
But yeah, he was a bald guy.
He preyed upon children again and knowingly infected others with AIDS, some of them reportedly underage.
Enjoyed being sexually tortured to pay people to sexually torture him.
I mean, just again, a complete, utter and total monster.
And again, taught openly and praised.
I mean, you can go through all this stuff.
When I was in theater school, Bertolt Brecht, of course, was very famous.
And, I mean, he collaborated with the totalitarian regime in East Germany in return for fame and power.
I mean, just...
These people are absolute monstrous.
And they're openly taught.
And the left praises them.
What's the big Bible of the left?
The big Bible of the left on how to get things done, how to achieve power, is, I mean, the guy that Hillary Clinton absolutely worshipped.
Absolutely worshipped.
This guy. I've got a whole video on him.
Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals.
Here's how you get things done.
He says, we're not interested in virtue.
We're not interested in ethics.
We're not interested in consistency.
We want power!
The guy dedicates the book that Hillary Clinton loves and the left uses as their activist Bible.
He openly dedicates the book to Satan himself.
You understand? This has been the most obvious, slow-rolling, absolutely telegraphed.
I mean, nobody's hiding anything here.
This is not camouflage.
This is not a tiger creeping up to you and your loved ones deep in the savannah, deep in the grass.
This is not a polar bear against the snow.
This is a two-by-four to the face.
When you can see it coming for...
Well, the Communist International started in the early 1920s their program of dismantling the West, destroying the free market, destroying liberties, hatred of the good for being the good.
So yeah, it's been about a century.
I mean, they're close to achieving their goals.
By God, are they close to achieving their goals.
But here's the thing. It's so frustrating because they have been so blindingly obvious and clear, not subtle, not hidden.
Not camouflaged. Open!
This information is widely available.
I mean, if you want to pick up Paul Johnson's book called Intellectuals, it's a very powerful book I read.
Early 20s, late teens, something like that.
There's a basic thesis with this.
He said, look, intellectuals claim to have replaced priests in the West because they found the morality of priests wanting, as I guess Martin Luther did back in the day.
That's Martin Luther 1.0.
And So he went through a list of all the intellectuals and said, okay, well, these guys who found the morals of the priests wanting, let's have a look at their lives and see how they lived and whether they are valid to be moral instructors of mankind.
And he went through them, and almost to a man, almost to a woman, They were absolute hellscapes of degeneracy, of rape, of violence, of corruption, of lying, of falsehood, of manipulation.
Edmund Wilson, famous Marxist, wrote to the Finland Station, loved the idea of government redistribution of wealth, had to flee America because he didn't pay any taxes, any income taxes for 10 years.
He's really for the distribution of wealth, but not his, you see, not his, you understand, not his wealth.
It has been...
Like there's this old Farsight cartoon where there's one caveman looking at the other caveman and there's like a wall of ice.
Like five feet from the cave they live in, right?
And he turns to the other caveman and he says, say, is that wall of ice closer today?
This literally is how slow rolling this revolution has been.
How obvious, how clearly telegraphed it has been.
The left... They have no problem with sexual deviants and assaulters like Bill Clinton and women who are married to him and stay married to him.
They have no problem with these people at all.
No problem. The left claims to be these moralizers.
Oh, we're against racism.
We're against sexism. We care about children.
No. The people you put in your curriculum are vile people.
Hideous, moral monstrosities of quasi-human degradation, who preyed upon children, who assaulted children, who statutorily raped or outright raped children.
I don't care. But then you see, this is what they say, and Saul Alinsky says, well, we don't have any morals.
I mean, the book is dedicated to Satan.
I couldn't be more obvious about an amoral, Nietzschean, post-Christian, will-to-power, power-grab as that.
He says, we don't have any ethics, but we know for a fact our enemies do.
So we will use our enemies' ethics against them.
We will use our enemies' virtues against them.
If you don't like being called a racist, we're going to call you a racist.
If you don't like being called a misogynist, if you think that's wrong, we don't care about it, but we know that you care about it, we will use that term against you.
We will pull down your cathedrals with the gravity of the physics of your own ethics.
And we have none. We have no ethics.
We have no virtue. We have no morality.
We don't care about any of those things.
We care about power. We care about control.
We care about exploitation. I mean, these guys worship Karl Marx!
Karl Marx said it was really, really terrible, you see, for employers to exploit their workers.
And wasn't it terrible about how aristocrats could get their hands on the wives and brides of their serfs?
Wasn't that terrible? No. I mean, he was a body odor rank, boil-popping pile of human garbage.
Karl Marx didn't pay his maid.
He impregnated her Possibly consensually.
And then when she got pregnant, he tossed her out on the street with no money and refused to acknowledge his child.
Absolute piece of human garbage.
You're going to take this guy, oh, it's really bad to exploit your workers.
I'm not going to pay my maid.
I'm going to bang her, probably against her will, and then toss her out on the street with no money and refuse to acknowledge my child or pay a penny towards him.
Absolute human garbage. One and all.
Absolute human garbage.
Sorry. That really is an insult to garbage because garbage at one point was useful.
Garbage is the leftover of what was useful.
It's more like a cancer.
Except, of course, a cancer is undetectable usually at the beginning.
And these people have been telegraphing exactly what they want.
Exactly what they wish to do.
Why they pulled down God.
Why they pulled down Christianity.
See, Christianity... It's fascinating.
Because, you see, Christianity has as its foundation that we are all sinful, that we are all sinners, that from the disobedience of, well, Satan to Eve, Eve to Adam, Adam to all of us, we are all plagued with sin.
We are all born in a fallen state.
You say, oh, well, that's a pretty negative and depressing view of human nature.
Yeah, but you've got to look at things just a little bit more richly than that, right?
So the reality is that if you understand the basic fact that human beings are sinful, prone to sin, prone to envy, that the concept of original sin is designed to grab onto the fact that we are amoral, power-seeking mammals.
It's a profoundly evolutionary concept.
Now, the fact that we're lazy and want something for nothing is great.
It means I don't have to visit everyone's house to give this speech.
I can do it over technology.
You don't have to get up to change your channel.
You've got a remote control. Our laziness is great.
It means we work very hard to make things very efficient.
But we come and we have embedded within us.
I call this sort of neofrontal cortex like the new part of the human brain.
It's the post-monkey beta expansion pack, and it sure is pretty buggy.
Because we got the human, we got the mammal, we got probably a bit of amphibian layer in the cake there, we got deep reptile brain, we are city built on a city built on a city.
Well, the early ones really weren't cities, but swamps.
And so we still have the sociopathy of nature.
Watch any nature show.
Animals are just hunting each other.
They're trying to flee.
They're just trying to have sex.
They don't sometimes care if it's particularly consensual.
And that is the reality of nature.
Nature is predatory.
Nature is kill or be killed.
Flee or be food.
And that's where we came from.
That's where we came from. And that's still a huge part of us.
And that's the left, right?
God is dead. Of his pity for man hath God died.
And Nietzsche said, when God dies, you're going to get the state rising in its place.
You're going to get totalitarian regimes.
Because our capacity to reign in and suppress our mammalian, animalistic, lust for power, sight, or depth, But you need something equally powerful to restrain the animal and what's equally powerful in the absence of philosophy is a god.
You need something omnipotent and omniscient and perfectly good just to have a counterweight, you see, just to have a counterweight to the power of the primal within us that we want and we lust and we take and we steal and we manipulate and we trick like all animals.
So, Christianity says...
Christianity says we are born sinful, which means we are born mammals.
And therefore, because we have the satanic of the animal within us...
Not that animals are satanic, but animals don't have free will, they don't have the capacity for abstraction, they don't have the capacity for morality...
That we do. Free will is our capacity or ability to compare proposed actions to ideal standards.
Animals can't do that.
So you need a God to counterweight the animal, and the beauty of Christianity, of course, is that by saying that we are sinful, and if you are not Christian, that's fine, you can just say we are animals, we are animalistic, we have the amoral lust to power that all animals have.
By saying that we are sinful, Christianity accurately identifies that we can't handle power.
We can't handle power.
Listen, I was an entrepreneur for many years, and I literally would work on the best ways to invite an employee into my office if I needed to talk to that employee so that the employee wouldn't freak out and think he or she was about to be fired.
So I would say, oh, listen, can I just borrow you for a sec?
As opposed to get in my office, please, now.
Or I need to see you in my office or come into my office.
We can't handle power.
When I started this show, and I started taking call-ins from people, and I started getting messages, and I ran a message board for a while, and people will say, what should I do?
What should I do? And I made a vow from the very beginning that I would never tell people what to do.
Never tell people what to do.
I'll give them information. I'll give them principles.
I'll give them arguments. I'll give them perspectives.
I will not tell them what to do.
Because there's no philosophy in the substitution of my judgment for other people.
I mean... They can internalize me if they want, but I don't want them to obey what I say.
I want them to learn how to think for themselves, blah, blah, blah, right?
So, I have steadfastly resisted the accumulation of any power in what it is that I do.
Because I was raised a Christian.
I understand the dangers of temptation of power.
I understand how power corrupts.
So, Christians say, we're born sinful.
We can't handle power.
This is why Christians oppose state power.
Because they understand that...
As you rise in the political hierarchy, you go from divinity to bonobo.
You go from soul to muscled meat yearning for power.
Power strips us of our humanity.
It reduces us to the animal.
Because that's what animals most want, is power.
And when we get power, it reduces us to the animal.
So the Christians say, no!
No! You cannot have political power.
You cannot have that kind of power.
It will corrupt you, because we're all sinful.
And the sin is the counterbalance to the animal, which is something I really didn't understand when I was younger, but I get it now.
I get it now. Now, the atheist, secularist left, what do they say?
Fundamentally, they say human beings can perfectly handle power.
That's why we want communism.
That's why we want fascism.
That's why we want national socialism or international socialism.
That's why we want a big government.
That's why we're perfectly comfortable, you see, with taking guns away from the citizens and concentrating all of the guns in the hands of the government, the power of the elites.
There's no such thing as gun control because you need guns to take away guns from the population.
There's only a centralization of weaponry In a small, hyper-powerful elite.
And Christians say, well, no.
Satan rules the world. We're born sinful, so you can't have political power.
It's bad. It's going to go terribly, which is why Christianity opposes communism, which is why communism has to get rid of Christianity, not because it hates religion, but because it loves power, you see.
Christ stands between the communists and their goal of the narcissistic self-worship of the God of the state.
Christ has to go.
So that the state can grow.
Religion is the opiate of the masses, says Marx's bullshit.
Marxism is the opiate of the intellectuals.
Except it's a drug that they force feed down the gullet of everyone else.
So the devil is not hiding.
The devil is not camouflaging.
The devil is trumpeting.
The devil has gained such confidence that he can step out from the shadows into the open.
And that means that this battle...
