Sunday Sentiment: The Eerrie Parallels of the MLK, Saint Apollinaris, Trump Assassinations

Divine Providence was present during the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr and the attempted assassination of president Donald Trump.

Coincidence, Divine Providence, Good and Evil, Feast Day of Saint Apollinaris, the Assassination of Martin Luther King Jr and the attempted assassination of president Donald Trump: what is the common denominator?

Sixty One years ago, Martin Luther King Jr., standing in front of the Lincoln Memorial, delivered his historic ‘I Have a Dream‘ speech in which he called for an end to racism and racial segregation. I Have a Dream was inspired by the Bible, the Declaration of Independence, the US Constitution, and Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation and the Gettysburg Address.

Like MLK’s ‘Dream’ Speech. President Donald Trump’s MAGA – Make America Great Again is inspired by the Bible, the Declaration of Independence, the US Constitution, and Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation and the Gettysburg Address and is quintessentially American.

Chris Ullery and Melissa Brown writing for the Tennessean reported:

“Speeches peppered with references to biblical verses intertwined with political slogans and the Pledge of Allegiance underscored a mix of God and nation prevalent throughout this year’s GOP nomination ceremony.”

While Timothy L. O’Brien. Bloomberg’s senior executive editor, holds a more cynical view:

“The observations from the former president and some of his ardent followers after his narrow escape from a shooter’s bullet smack of convenient politics.”

It’s not unreasonable for cynics like O’Brian, atheists or skeptics to question Divine Providence intervention. After all, where was Divine Providence when Martin Luther King Jr was assassinated?

Divine Providence was present during the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr and the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump. The Catholic Catechism (CCC 321-322) teaches that Christ invites us to filial trust in the providence of our heavenly Father (cf. Mt 6:26-34), and St. Peter the apostle repeats: “Cast all your anxieties on him, for he cares about you” (I Pt 5:7; cf. Ps 55:23.)

For all religions, whether Christian or pagan, belief in Providence, understood in the wider sense of a superhuman being who governs the universe and directs the course of human affairs with definite purpose and beneficent design, has always been a very real and practical belief. Prayer, divination, blessing and curse, oracle and sacred rite, all testify to a belief in some over-ruling power, divine or quasi-divine in character; and such phenomena are found in every race and tribe, however uncivilized or degraded. We find it, for instance, not only amongst the savages of today, but also among the early Greeks, who, though they do not appear to have clearly distinguished between Providence and Fate, and though their gods were little more than glorified human beings, subject to human frailty and marred by human passion, they none the less watched over the home and the family, took sides in human warfare, and were the protectors and avengers of mankind. The intimate connection of the gods with human affairs was even more marked in the religion of the early Romans, who had a special god to look after each detail of their daily life, their labours in the field, and the business of the state.

MAGA is founded on free speech, religious independence, accountability, rule of law and the belief that the United States was once a great country but has lost this status owing to foreign influence, both within its borders and globalization.

That there was an attempted assassination of president Donald Trump is not shocking. A simple scan of social media posts show President Donald Trump’s political opponents, from the White House, surrogates and influences, display a high level of irrationalhate and fear at the prospects of Donald Trump taking power for a second term.

Such level of hate simply means the assassination attempts will continue.

Five years later, after progressives got MLK Jr out of their way, they turned his dream into a nightmare: racism has morphed into DEI, the Human Sacrifice Industrial Complex has enabled the Black Genocide, the disintegration of the African-American nuclear family and a fatherlesssness crisis:

MLK Jr. death cleared the way for the uber progressive Warren Court’s Decision (1963) – the Court found that teaching children about wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, fear of the Lord., charity, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, generosity, gentleness, faithfulness, modesty, self-control and chastity was too radical, and all hell broke lose. A decade later Roe v. Wade entered the picture.

Using analysis tools like the Ishikawa Cause-Effect Diagram, the Pareto Rule, Security Professionals’ Attack Tree and or Occam’s Razor, they all suggest that after the uber progressive Warren SCOTUS (1963) decision, we have had A mental health crisis. Infanticide turned into Black Genocide. African American nuclear family has joined the Sea Turtles in the extinct list. 80% of AA kids are raised in fatherless homes. AIDS epidemic. Opiod crisis, We have a fatherlesssness crisis, A Girlhood Crisis, A Trans Crisis, Obesity crisis.

NYT’s Katie Rogers “reports” the Biden Administration continues to sharpens its Abortion Message, which is nothing less than AntiChristian and pure evil and Biden’s Administration is being referred to as an Anti-Christ.

And a new Documentary exposes how the FBI tried to destroy MLK with wiretaps and blackmail – ultimately he was assassinated. His family believes James Earl Ray was framed

So, what is the common denominator? What is the conclusion? Saint Paul warned us about this 2000 years ago in Ephesians 6
“Finally, draw your strength from the Lord and from his mighty power.
Put on the armor of God so that you may be able to stand firm against the tactics of the devil.
For our struggle is not with flesh and blood but with the principalities, with the powers, with the world rulers of this present darkness, with the evil spirits in the heavens.
Therefore, put on the armor of God, that you may be able to resist on the evil day and, having done everything, to hold your ground.

So stand fast with your loins girded in truth, clothed with righteousness as a breastplate.”
