For years, Christian dissidents have been warning that the regime’s de facto established Cult would use its power to persecute the Church.
Death Cultists and WigNats alike downplayed our ruling class’ animosity toward Christ.
But now, the government persecutions have begun.
A well-known pro-life author, sidewalk counselor, and father of seven was the latest victim of a U.S. Department of Justice-sponsored SWAT raid and arrest — for supposed “FACE Act” violations — at his rural home as his children looked on “screaming.”
Mark Houck is the founder and president of The King’s Men, which promotes healing for victims of pornography addiction and promotes Christian virtues among men in the United States and Europe.
According to his wife Ryan-Marie, who spoke with LifeSiteNews, he also drives two hours south to Philadelphia every Wednesday to sidewalk counsel for six to eight hours at two different abortion centers.
Ryan-Marie, who is a homeschooling mother, described how the SWAT team of 25 to 30 FBI agents swarmed their property with around 15 vehicles at 7:05 a.m. this morning. Having quickly surrounded the house with rifles in firing position, “they started pounding on the door and yelling for us to open it.”
Before opening the door, she explained, her husband tried to calm them, saying, “‘Please, I’m going to open the door, but, please, my children are in the home. I have seven babies in the house.’ But they just kept pounding and screaming,” she said.
When he opened the door, “they had big, huge rifles pointed at Mark and pointed at me and kind of pointed throughout the house,” Ryan-Marie described.
When they came in, they ordered the kids to stay upstairs. “Our staircase is open, so [the kids] were all at the top of the stairs which faces the front door, and I was on the stairs as well, coming down.”
“The kids were all just screaming. It was all just very scary and traumatic,” she explained.
After asking them why they were at the house, the agents said they were there to arrest Mark. When Ryan-Marie asked for their warrant, “they said that they were going to take him whether they had a warrant or not.”
Rule of law is dead. The regime will do what it pleases, and its subjects will suffer what they must.
And Christians had better stop being naive about it.
The warrant charged Mark with violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, due to a claimed “ATTACK OF A PATIENT ESCORT.”
Ryan-Marie stated this charge comes from an incident that had already been thrown out of the District Court in Philadelphia but was somehow picked up by Merrick Garland’s Department of Justice.
On several occasions when Mark went to sidewalk counsel last year, he took his eldest son, who was only 12 at the time, she explained. For “weeks and weeks,” a “pro-abortion protester” would speak to the boy saying “crude … inappropriate and disgusting things,” such as “you’re dad’s a fag,” and other statements that were too vulgar for her to convey.
Repeatedly, Mark would tell this pro-abortion man that he did not have permission to speak to his son and please refrain from doing so. And “he kept doing it and kind of came into [the son’s] personal space” obscenely ridiculing his father. At this point, “Mark shoved him away from his child, and the guy fell back.”
“He didn’t have any injuries or anything, but he tried to sue Mark,” and the case was thrown out of court in the early summer.
Since the Biden administration has taken power in January 2021, Garland’s Department of Justice and the FBI have committed dozens of SWAT team raids that have been characterized as a political “weaponization” of the federal agencies against pro-lifers, Trump supporters, conservative Christians, and medical freedom advocates.
The Death Cultists that populate our ruling elite understand that political power is to be used to reward friends and punish enemies. Trump, Conservatives, and Christians have yet to realize that fact. And they are suffering the consequences.
In March, the FBI rounded up 10 pro-life activists, including Joan Andrews Bell, with SWAT team raids that serve to intimidate and humiliate the accused through an exercise of excessive force.
Many will call the mobilization of a police state to persecute Christians a perversion of democracy. Those people are incorrect. The Death Cult holds democracy sacred. Democracy derives its governing authority from popular consensus. A core function of government is enforcing public morality. Therefore, dissenters from the democratic consensus are not only considered threats to the government’s legitimacy, they’re vilified as evil.
The crowning irony is that the system sold to us as governance by popular consent isn’t responsive to the average voter’s will at all. Instead, it serves the interests of the economic elite. Which makes sense, when you consider that they have the money and influence to shape public consensus however they want. That should tell you what Death Cultists mean by “Our Democracy.”
Christians must wise up to the fact that we are now outside the consensus and are therefore enemies of the regime.
And we’d better wise up to it fast.
Affiliate offer: The system is so responsive to corporate interests that there’s no longer a substantive division between big business and government. The corporatist regime has shown it has no qualms against destroying your livelihood for diverging from the consensus. Now is a good time to start a side hustle – or more than one – to generate some independent income streams. Let my friend and client Adam Lane Smith show you how to start your $4K home business. Take his livelihood-saving course now.

God bless this man and his family. God can and will always bring the good out of the bad. Tragedies like the above serve as a reminder that we are smackdab in the middle of spiritual warfare and that the Death Cult has to resort to hard power and outright tyranny to combat the rise of traditional/orthodox Christianity in the West.
First they ignore you, then they mock you, then they fight you, then you win.
Alex,
Hock is now represented by the Samuel Beckett foundation. I’m surprised because I suspected he’d be J6’d into the Garland archipelago.But the outcry was so strong the regime had to tolerate this for now. Next time it’s nacht und nebel.

Despite current events, including the subject of this post, some people still don’t get it. So I will spell it out.
No fedposting. And no feeding the feds.
This is your one warning. Repeat offenders will be banned and spammed.
God have mercy on this good man. I’ll pray for him, and attempt to avoid anger.
While also attempting to avoid diverting attention into yet-another anti-Wignat thread, I will also point out that you are correct about their lack of understanding of the enemy. The Death Cult has no problem whatsoever with its white NPCs and High Priests, who at worst must ritually abase themselves but never come to any material harm. It has no tolerance at all for faithful nonwhite Christians, no matter how many oppressed groups they are part of. The long association between Europe and the Faith makes this mental confusion possible, but at this point they have no excuse for ignorance. Sin makes you stupid, and almost all the Wignats I’ve ever met were positively bloated with pride, the worst of all sins. I could tell stories, but they’re all basically the same – a veneer of rationality and intellectual bravery for “daring to go against the mainstream narrative”, but if you refuse to uncritically accept their beliefs, you quickly find that underneath it is a howling hurricane of unreason and egotism.
Richard Spencer is still platformed. They’ve even had him on CNN. ’nuff said
