1. We could look at the Hebrew Bible for the origin of the conflict between transnationalists and independent sovereigntists, as many in the West consider ancient Israel to be first self-governing political entity. It is the prototype of the sovereign nation and independent state, facing a succession of imperial foes.
From "Sovereignty or Submission," John Fonte
2. Ancient Israel faced the transnational empires, Babylonian, Egyptian, and not to forget, fought a series of conflicts with the imperial forces of Greece and Rome. Amazingly, although under imperial rule for thousands of years, it was reconstituted as a democratic nation-state in the twentieth century!
3. Reading the works of Western elites, one finds less empathy for the ancient Hebrews, or modern Israelis for that matter, than for the transnationals who have tried to subjugate them.
a. And, in that connection, what is the proper weight that should be accorded to biblical laws promoting, for example, tolerance for minorities?
Leviticus 19:34 The stranger who dwells among you shall be to you as one born among you, and you shall love him as yourself; for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
b. Prominent transnationalist, and president of the Brookings Institution, Strobe Talbot, finds the ancient Hebrews warlike, but the Babylonian kings and Egyptian pharaohs in important respects, just and tolerant rulers and pioneers of the novel idea that peace was preferable to war among god-kings.: Talbot, The Great Experiment: The Story of Ancient Empires, Modern States, and the Quest for a Global Nation, p. 43.
4. Why advance this view of ancient, and modern Israel? Because globalists realize that Israel is a roadblock to the global governance agenda- historically, intellectually, symbolically, culturally, morally, religiously, and strategically. The struggles of ancient and modern Israel have served as inspiration for those who esteem self-government. If the political transnational project is to success, Israel must be taken down.
5. The inspiration was particularly strong among the Founders of the American republic. The most widely read book in 18th century America was the King James Bible, and the situations of the revolutionaries was commonly compared to the Babylonian captivity, the Exodus, David vs. Goliath, and the book of Deuteronomy. The republic was often called the new Israel.
a. A couple of months after American colonists declared their independence from Great Britain, a committee composed of Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and John Adams proposed a design for a national seal. It portrayed the Egyptian pharaoh leading his troops through a divided Red Sea in pursuit of the fleeing Israelites. Surrounding this scene were the words, Rebellion to Tyrants is Obedience to God.

b. Dr. Banfield, in 1783: Twas [God] who raised a Joshua to lead the tribes of Israel in the field of battle; raised and formed a Washington to lead on the troops of his chosen States. Twas He who in Baraks day spread the spirit of war in every breast to shake off the Canaanitish yoke, and inspired thy inhabitants, O America! http://theroadtoemmaus.org/RdLb/21PbAr/Hst/US/AmericanismGelernter.htm\
6. In a magnificent speech, called A Sermon on the Commencement of the Constitution, delivered October 25, 1780, Samuel Cooper reminds that the Bible informed the new American republic, and its Constitution, and
To mention all the passages in sacred writ which prove that the Hebrew government, tho a theocracy, was yet as to the outward part of it, a free republic, and that the sovereignty resided in the people, Abstracted from those appendages and formalities which were peculiar to the Jews, and designed to answer some particular purposes of divine Providence, it points out in general what kind of government infinite wisdom and goodness would establish among mankind. A Sermon on the Commencement of the Constitution by Samuel Cooper
Leftists. progressives, Democrats, socialists, environmentalists, feminists, communists, ....in short, totalitarians of all stripes hate American, hate Israel, hate religion, and hate sovereignty, as these realities stand in the way of their dreams of world domination.
It is the greatest mistake to see each of the haters as stand-alone. They are the pseudopods of the same slimy amoeba.
"...therefore never send to know for whom the bells tolls; it tolls for thee."
John Donne
