“In war, there is no substitute for victory.”

“The prerequisite to peace is victory.”

“Peace through strength.”

DEI—Diversity, Equity, Inclusion—is the antithesis, the opposite of the above quotes, the opposite of standing for truth, fighting for truth, resisting the “broad road that leads to destruction.”*

The three words of DEI seem to call for passivity and submission (weakness), instead of strength and conviction—except for those imposing and enforcing DEI on everybody else.
DEI condemns anyone who believes in truth and defends what is right and rejects what is wrong.

The call for openness, acceptance, tolerance becomes the strongest agent for judging and rejecting and eliminating anyone who does not comply.

DEI in reality is a complete oxymoron—

DIVERSITY
—positive – polished presentation to accept all kinds of ‘new’ ideas for utopia
—negative – oxymoron – reality – create dissatisfaction with what you have, to make socialism seem so desirable (hidden dagger—socialism leads to marxism to communism to totalitarianism to tyranny to death—by the millions—history)

EQUITY
—positive – polished promise of fair and equal for everyone
—negative – oxymoron – reality – create dissatisfaction with injustices of the past—corrected by dismantling existing structures, with total control to make everybody the same to force universal equality—equal poverty, equal slavery

INCLUSION
—positive – polished claims of acceptance, to be all things to all people
—negative – oxymoron – reality – create dissatisfaction over suppression of certain groups, invent blame on other groups, foster unrest, upheaval, and violence—total control takes over, decides who is included, who lives, who does not.

*DEI is the epitome of the “broad road that leads to destruction.”
It sounds so open, so inviting, so easy to enter.
Then reality sets in, brutal force takes over, and evil laughs.
“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.”—–Jesus
Indeed, following Jesus is not easy—He never said it would be.
“You have not yet resisted to the point of shedding blood, striving against sin.”

“I have lived, sir, a long time; and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth, that God governs in the affairs of men! And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without his aid? —We have been assured, sir, in the sacred writings that, ‘except the Lord build the house they labor in vain that build it.’ I firmly believe this; and I also believe, that without his concurring aid, we shall succeed in this political building no better than the builders of Babel: We shall be divided by our little partial local interests, our projects will be confounded, and we ourselves shall be become a reproach and a by-word down to future ages…

I therefore beg leave to move, that henceforth prayers, imploring the assistance of heaven, and its blessings on our deliberations, be held in this assembly every morning before we proceed to business; and that one or more of the clergy of this city be requested to officiate in that service.“
—–Benjamin Franklin, addressing the Constitutional Convention in 1787, when they bogged down and were frustrated, making no progress.

Re-read his words of wisdom—how true—from the Bible—divine aid for success – or – future reproach for failure.

And, putting Franklin’s message in perspective with the implored blessings for America’s history – and the invited curses in America today:

+++ “If a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without his aid?”
x x x So, is it probable that this ’empire’ will not fall with the devil’s aid?
