Your protest vote was a righteous and moral choice. I live in the same state and my wife and I for long months have planned on following the exact same course. God bless.
Among the many voices in the west who have called out the collusion of their 'governments' with the genocidal program unfolding in the Levant only yours still carries the ring of authenticity... as you are aware of what is at stake here.
That complicity in the crimes of kabbalism would carry a heavy price for each and every citizen-serf of the puppet satrapies of the west was apparent to some of us long before the TRUMP DECEPTION. That the successful 'conclusion' of the same genocidal campaign would only lead to an expansion of the 'targeted' populations to next extinguish was equally apparent.
Therefore, it's a matter of mere record now - personally complicit or not, innocent of ill-intention towards other groups of humanity or not, clean of direct involvement in the process of letting in the 'noahide laws' now waiting in the shadows for the (s)election process to come to it's bitter conclusion... allowing one's self to become de facto colluder in the crime now in full flower will bring the western world it's fatal end that "fearfully maintained utopia which is nonetheless viewed, consensually, as the only acceptable option open[ing] a dangerous door: to the spilling of blood to save blood; to the creation of disorder and destruction in order to maintain order and avoid destruction,” as Stephen Jones put it." "All that blood?" It has only opened the gates - and the hunger for it's continuation.
All westerners sit on the cusp of a change so drastic to their fortunes, lifestyles, and presence in this world, as to outweigh anything since the BLACK DEATH. The wave of violent, unchecked vengeance which the kabbalist talmudists are soon to unleash on them is immense. In the kabbalist lexicon, those who have abetted them in their crimes are not only made to carry the can for those same crimes, but are despised by the perpetrators to as great, if not greater degree than the victims of those crimes themselves. There's is no mere contempt, however - in transferring the responsibility for their own crimes onto the complicit west, they also make of it's denizens the very sacrificant's choice of who dies in their stead.
But you know all this. Which is why this 'note of protest' reads not like an eulogy to a great and noble experiment in human freedom which USA & and the western 'democracies' were said to be... but a last, utterly futile wave of the sword before the barbarians storm the gates. Noble, admirable, and sad.
If only there had been more like you. At least there would have been some dignity to the struggle.
I'll not vote for a candidate of the uni-war party either. In fact, I'll not vote. Do we trust the machines and the counters and the courts now? Isn't the act of voting a vote of confidence in our electoral system? Wasn't there huge fraud in 2020? What has been done to eliminate that since?
apparently the US corporation is operating in fraud so all the theater we see about the actors pretending to be presidents, vps... is fraud... I observe it out of curiosity.
I share in the justified lamentations. But, I keep in mind that this (mostly self induced) evil has been with us since the beginning and then a solution was provided when God walked among us to share the good news. Mr Hoffman is one of the few that, by his gifted writings, have helped keep my faith alive. He really is one of the reasons why I don't dispair. There was something in one of his newsletters that stuck with me (and I can't express it as well as he) that went something like..."being hopeful is to believe in the ultimate efficacy of truth". Thanks Michael.
I left the Presidential vote blank. Each candidate supports the death culture in at least 1 significant way. And not one of them condemned the pending Antisemitism Awareness Act, a well-disguised censorship measure which could end up criminalizing truthful observations of Jews’ conduct during Christ’s Passion.
In nearly all of the states, the Libertarian Party and the Green Party had presidential candidates on the ballot who had condemned the genocide in Gaza. Shame on everyone who chose not to vote. At the We Hold These Truths website (https://whtt.org), Charles Carlson has a video including his visit to the Gaza Baptist Church. I have Protestant Christian Zionist relatives who believe that the Israeli Jews should kill all Gentiles, including Protestants, in Gaza. When I was a candidate for the California State Assembly, the California Pro Life Council endorsed me. I am furious that the Catholics and Protestants who supported me have not condemned the genocide in Gaza and the Ukraine War. Instead of blaming only Trump and Harris, it is time to blame all of the persons who vote for them.
Mr. Foote, I think I would vote for you for POTUS, or if you ever run in elections in my state.
I voted for all three Libertarian candidates in my district in Maryland. I voted against the UNRESTRICTED abortion amendment. Libertarians are not good on abortion. They are only pro-life after viability. Of those listed on the ballot, the libertarians are the best choice as a protest vote.
At least the main-stream Democrats are consistent. They are TOTALLY nihilistic; abortion, war, death and destruction all around. Global nuclear war were Harris to win.
On Trump, my views are a little different from Rev. Dr. Chuck Baldwin's. If I understand correctly, in his recent columns, Baldwin says Russia will respond with nuclear weapons if "Israel" bombs Iran's nuclear reactors. I would NEVER vote for Trump, but with Trump it's around 50-50 for total war. If he gets Kiev to negotiate and offers Moscow a way out of the NATO trap, Moscow will drop Iran like a hot potato and the Israelis will have their way with Iran. "Israel" bombs Syria with impunity and Moscow does not lift a finger. Everything depends on the advisors Trump chooses.*
* I write this on Nov. 2nd, 2024 and I am assuming that Trump wins the election, though I would not bet either way.
The libertarians are a lesser evil, but in some key respects, they are still evil, although I doubt that in most cases, it’s conscious.
Most of them are oblivious to the personhood of the unborn human being, who is subject to abortion.
In the realm of economics, they are usury advocates.
Western civilization was built on the prohibition on abortion and the sacredness of all human life, including human life in the womb. those are two red lines that prevent me from voting libertarian.
The Constitution Party was not on my ballot in California this time. This year, it has ballot access in only approximately 21 states. While the Idaho Constitution Party nominated Joel Skousen for president, in most states Randall Terry is the candidate.
I have not found any position on abortion by Joel Skousen. He did attempt to remove any references to God in the party’s positions. While I agree with him on the fraudulent war on terror and on opposing globalism and communism, I do not share his hope for high security residences and survivalism. Living in California, there is little hope of surviving a nuclear war.
The common view of Libertarian Party members on abortion is that the government should not be involved. They do not support welfare abortions. That is a sharp contrast with the pro life Republicans who supported me when I was a candidate for the California State Assembly. They argued that one should oppose abortion on moral grounds just as the abolitionists opposed slavery. I am outraged that these persons who claim to be pro life do not oppose the genocide in Gaza and the Ukraine War.
I urge everyone to buy and to read your book, Judaism Discovered. Then, they will understand what Jews really believe. Last year, Netanyahu cited stories in the Old Testament of Christian Bibles of the Jews killing every man, woman, child, and animal of their enemies. Stupid Christian Zionists believe that there is a Jewish god who condones genocides of Gentiles. Christian Zionists enable genocides.
Likewise, America had a civil war that had slavery as an issue. Slave owners could point to the Bible and argue that a Jewish god condoned enslaving Gentiles.
Thank you for the constructive critique. Sorry to say, I took the easy way and cast my protest vote to what was already on the ballot. My vote was based on the fact that in Maryland the Libertarian Party has largely overcome the attempt at being co-opted by the Left. I should have read the Constitution Party Platform (CPP) before voting, and then written in the candidates. The more votes, the more influence a Party has. I've read much of the CPP and find nothing that I disagree with.
And, of course, without the renting of money (usury), far fewer women would opt for abortion.
"I feel a real and solid pleasure when anybody points out a fallacy in any of my views, because I care much less about my opinions than about their being true." Bertrand Russell
The Catholic Church, when it still dispensed wisdom on modern trends, warned at the founding of the American republic, that the constitutional republic would eventually result in a country controlled by a wealthy, powerful group of elites, a cartel hidden behind a façade of democracy. That cartel is now global and does indeed control much of this country solely for the purpose of its own greed, power and pleasure. For many explicated reasons, the Catholic Church taught Catholics who lived in such a secular democratic state that they could, and should, vote for the lesser of two evils. Trump and his supporters in the GOP are far less controlled by this global cartel than the Democrats and their candidates. Trump’s presidency would be like a foot stuck in a doorjamb, keeping the door of total control from shutting completely and with finality. It would give this country at least some time to right some very serious wrongs that are causing death and destruction in this country and in the world. It would not right the horrible wrongs that have already happened in Gaza, but it may bring some easing of those wrongs even there. That, I would think, qualifies as the lesser of two evils, in fact, maybe even the far lesser of two evils. That is a reason to vote for Trump, in a world overrun with evils, as discerned from the vantage point of one living in a secular, increasingly godless, bloodthirsty, pagan democracy that has caused many, if not most, of those evils.
Trump's presidency would terminate the only two good things of the recent Democrat administrations, the student debt relief initiative and the possibility of dissuading "Israel" from destroying Iran's peaceful nuclear program. On the latter, the Democrats may want to preserve the legacy of the Obama Administration's efforts regarding the JCP of A ("Iran Nuclear Deal"), for possible future Congressional ratification.
Why are you excluding “combatant men” from your list of those who do not deserve to die? You may not have realized by now, but that’s a sign that you’re indoctrinated too. There’s nothing wrong in taking up arms and fighting, and surely even you realize that not every “combatant man” is a “terrorist”, a label that is highly debatable for many that are called that
Absorbed a little by last minute election coverage, I missed this of yours. A week or two before the election, as a citizen living abroad though one who has only once voted (for Obama, which I instantly regretted when his first act after being elected was to appoint Rahm Emanual as his Chief of Staff - whereupon the scales fell from my eyes along with the sounds of crashing moats and beams!) I toyed with the idea of voting for Donald because the polls were telling me it was super-close and I figured that meant they were about to steal it again and so bought into the notion that all the 'low propensity' voters like myself needed to turn out this time to stop One Party quasi Communist rule.
I didn't though. Partly because online registration meant giving somebody Stateside my address which I would rather not do, but mainly because.... Palestine. I feel exactly what you have laid out. Also with a hypocrisy twist, namely that the notion of Draining the Swamp whilst being All-In on the neocon-Zionist agenda is a complete and utter non-starter, total hypocrisy.
I cannot participate. Indeed, it's probably, though not the only, the main reason why I chose to retire outside the country, though as a Canadian resident since the 80's I had long ago stopped living in the States, albeit they were clearly an option once retirement hit.
I cannot stomach the endless gaslighting of the Republican Party, both pro and anti Trump, both conservatives and libertarian, who genuflect to the Zionist agenda.
Simply put: it is unacceptable.
Thanks for your fearless, upright contributions to the public square in this regard.

I fully agree and support your Empathetic and Bold Position Mr. Hoffman!
I'm ashamed of America and Americans.
I'll not vote for a candidate of the uni-war party either. In fact, I'll not vote. Do we trust the machines and the counters and the courts now? Isn't the act of voting a vote of confidence in our electoral system? Wasn't there huge fraud in 2020? What has been done to eliminate that since?
It hasn't even been an issue up for debate, just bashing each other but never naming the obvious crime.
i gave up on voting...
apparently the US corporation is operating in fraud so all the theater we see about the actors pretending to be presidents, vps... is fraud... I observe it out of curiosity.

Dear David
You might be thinking of the following:
"Hope is the virtue that expects God’s help. Truth is the witness we bear in order to receive it."
Michael Hoffman
Beautiful and prayerful. It makes my heart sing. I'll learn to repeat this after my daily prayers to the most high God.
Well said Mr. Hoffman. As an Orthodox Christian myself I have voted 3rd party.
I hope Trump wins by a landslide.
I left the Presidential vote blank. Each candidate supports the death culture in at least 1 significant way. And not one of them condemned the pending Antisemitism Awareness Act, a well-disguised censorship measure which could end up criminalizing truthful observations of Jews’ conduct during Christ’s Passion.
Good for you.
Not something I dwell on I must admit….they scream for ‘death to the west’ whilst placing their own in the firing line to garner ‘our’ sympathies.
I can’t support regimes that so desperately want ‘us infidels’ gone.
You do you though brother.
Beautifully written.

I think Maimonides' "Guide of the Perplexed" and the Midrashic version of "the curse of Ham" gave the most impetus to the enslavement of Black people.

You read it wrong. He said noncombatant men. And to label all armed men as terrorists is also false. Repelling an invader is self defense.
Sir, now follow up and see if your vote was counted, like mine, I am sure it was not.
Absorbed a little by last minute election coverage, I missed this of yours. A week or two before the election, as a citizen living abroad though one who has only once voted (for Obama, which I instantly regretted when his first act after being elected was to appoint Rahm Emanual as his Chief of Staff - whereupon the scales fell from my eyes along with the sounds of crashing moats and beams!)
