A recent conversation led me to revisit the Austin Bombings
back in 2018. In some respects I'm surprised there hasn't been more of this
sort of thing – more Christian Terrorism as it were.
There are many people of similar mindset and developing in
the same matrix of ideas. Some can't deal with all the implications and
pressures and become radicalized.
There's another missed story the media seems unwilling to focus on. The January 6 Committee (working parallel to the Department of Justice) largely focused on the foot soldiers and militia thugs who participated in the event. Consequently the committee provided a degree of cover for the high-level architects and congressional collaborators who participated in the attempted coup. Trump was certainly cast under a shadow but his allies in the congress, his cabinet, the Supreme Court, and even in law enforcement and the military were all effectively given a pass.
Though this story has already faded away from the news cycle it will return and there are some elements concerning it that deserve reflection.
I first encountered Baucham about fifteen years ago. He was
unique because it's unusual find conservative Black voices within Calvinist
circles – in this case Calvinistic Baptist. He came onto the radar (as it were)
alongside the New Calvinist movement but clearly he was not one of them. Like
Paul Washer he seemed to partner with and associate with some Theonomic types
which always gave me occasion to pause, but generally speaking I would have
said he was a pretty solid guy, a good teacher who for most part stood for
Biblical thought and ethics.
I am completely open to the notion that elements within the US government would seek to subvert the electoral process. They've done it outside US borders on dozens of occasions and so the thought that it could happen here does not even begin to stretch my imagination.
That said, I am unconvinced that this has taken place with
regard to the Biden-Trump contest. If Deep State actors had intended this, they
would want to make sure the victory was clear-cut – something that didn't
happen. In fact this tight and long drawn-out race was in many respects the
worse scenario.
There is a great hypocrisy at work within Right-wing circles. They profess to believe in the American system of democratic representation and yet clearly they don't actually hold to it. Their actions suggest a strong anti-democratic bias as represented by their attempts to suppress democracy and disenfranchise large segments of the population.
This is a follow up to the previous piece found here:

Until the time of Trump any president upon receiving news of
a plot to kidnap a governor and violently take control of state capitol would
have resulted in (at the very least) a personal phone call.
At this point in time a lot of the details are still unknown. Was the plot to storm the capitol building and kidnap the governor the plan of one militia group or multiple groups?
