So we are coming up (again) on the Fourth of July, and because many Christians are confused about the propriety of celebrating “rebellion” (Romans 13!), and because our current power monkeys are behaving in a fashion far worse than King George III ever did, and especially because this means we are dealing with a subject that is far from academic, it is necessary to go over this material again.

“For our experts, it has been the worst of years, and the best of years: the worst, because their failures and foolishness have been manifest; the best, because they have, by managed and controlled failure, increased their power and extended their reach.” (For those of us Latin-deprived, Peritus means- an expert who advises & assists the hierarchy particularly, the Vatican)

Disclaimer: I’ve not yet read the book, but a relative, who’s an active duty USAF fighter pilot, knew him at the academy (but not well), says “ From what I’ve heard recently, a lot of people who do know him respect him, think he’s highly intelligent, and suggest he clearly understood what the consequences of the podcast and book were going to be.”

Upon reading about Lt. Col. Lohmeier and his book, and the ensuing firestorm, I immediately thought of a piece Doug Wilson had written the day before- https://dougwils.com/books-and-culture/s7-engaging-the-culture/the-duties-of-christian-cops.html -wherein he says this as part of his advice to Christian cops; So you do need to be prepared to wreck your career at Amazon too, and at Ford, and at Apple, but you really need to be prepared for it if you carry weapons on behalf of the state.
God bless you, LtCol Lohmeier.
