Never forget this: There are more of us than of them.\u00a0Remember, “Ye are of Elohim, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4). Also, when you see these loud-mouthed demonstrators, remember this: Those who have the least to say, say it the loudest.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

We will win this battle because Elohim is on our side. We will win the battle because Yeshua defeated death,\u00a0hell and the devil and is now in heaven at Elohim’s right hand, and he is coming again to defeat his enemies. We will win this battle because of prayer, repentance, the preaching of the gospel and the because we lift up Yeshua. No force in hell can stand against this! This is our day, our moment to shine forth as lights in the darkness, to be bold for Yeshua! \u2014 Natan<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

How Obama is scheming to sabotage Trump\u2019s\u00a0presidency<\/a><\/h1>\n

When former President Barack Obama said he\u00a0was \u201cheartened\u201d by anti-Trump protests,<\/a>\u00a0he was sending a message of approval to his troops. Troops? Yes, Obama has an army of agitators \u2014 numbering more than 30,000 \u2014 who will fight his Republican successor at every turn of his historic presidency. And Obama will command them from a bunker less than two miles from the White House.<\/p>\n

In what\u2019s shaping up to be a highly unusual post-presidency, Obama isn\u2019t just staying behind in Washington. He\u2019s working behind the scenes to set up what will effectively be a shadow government to not only protect his threatened legacy, but to sabotage the incoming administration and its popular \u201cAmerica First\u201d agenda.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s doing it through a network of leftist nonprofits led by Organizing for Action. Normally you\u2019d expect an organization set up to support a politician and his agenda to close up shop after that candidate leaves office, but not Obama\u2019s OFA. Rather, it\u2019s gearing up for battle, with a growing war chest and more than 250 offices across the country.<\/p>\n

Since Donald Trump\u2019s election, this little-known but well-funded protesting arm has beefed up staff and ramped up recruitment of young liberal activists, declaring on its website, \u201cWe\u2019re not backing down.\u201d Determined to salvage Obama\u2019s legacy,\u201dit\u2019s drawing battle lines on immigration, ObamaCare, race relations and climate change.<\/p>\n

Obama is intimately involved in OFA operations and even tweets from the group\u2019s account. In fact, he gave marching orders to OFA foot soldiers following Trump\u2019s upset victory.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is fine for everybody to feel stressed, sad, discouraged,\u201d he said in a conference call from the White House. \u201cBut get over it.\u201d He demanded they \u201cmove forward to protect what we\u2019ve accomplished.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNow is the time for some organizing,\u201d he said. \u201cSo don\u2019t mope.\u201d<\/p>\n

Far from sulking, OFA activists helped organize anti-Trump marches across US cities, some of which turned into riots. After Trump issued a\u00a0temporary ban on immigration from seven terror-prone Muslim nations<\/a>, the demonstrators\u00a0jammed airports<\/a>, chanting: \u201cNo ban, no wall, sanctuary for all!\u201d<\/p>\n

Run by old Obama aides and campaign workers, federal tax records show \u201cnonpartisan\u201d OFA marshals 32,525 volunteers nationwide. Registered as a 501(c)(4), it doesn\u2019t have to disclose its donors, but they\u2019ve been generous. OFA has raised more than $40 million in contributions and grants since evolving from Obama\u2019s campaign organization Obama for America in 2013.<\/p>\n

OFA, in IRS filings, says it trains young activists to develop \u201corganizing skills.\u201d Armed with Obama\u2019s 2012 campaign database, OFA plans to get out the vote for Democratic candidates it\u2019s grooming to win back Congress and erect a wall of resistance to Trump at the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue.<\/p>\n

It will be aided in that effort by the Obama Foundation, run by Obama\u2019s former political director, and the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, launched last month by Obama pal Eric Holder to end what he and Obama call GOP \u201cgerrymandering\u201d of congressional districts.<\/p>\n

Obama will be overseeing it all from a shadow White House located within two miles of Trump. It features a mansion, which he\u2019s fortifying with construction of a tall brick perimeter, and a nearby taxpayer-funded office with his own chief of staff and press secretary. Michelle Obama will also open an office there, along with the Obama Foundation.<\/p>\n

The 55-year-old Obama is not content to go quietly into the night like other ex-presidents<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Critical to the fight is rebuilding the ravaged Democrat Party. Obama hopes to install his former civil-rights chief Tom Perez at the helm of the Democratic National Committee.<\/p>\n

Perez is running for the vacant DNC chairmanship, vowing \u201cIt\u2019s time to organize and fight .\u2009.\u2009. We must stand up to protect President Obama\u2019s accomplishments;\u201d while also promising, \u201cWe\u2019re going to build the strongest grass-roots organizing force this country has ever seen.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 55-year-old Obama is not content to go quietly into the night like other ex-presidents.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re going to see me early next year,\u201d he said after the election, \u201cand we\u2019re going to be in a position where we can start cooking up all kinds of great stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n

Added the ex-president: \u201cPoint is, I\u2019m still fired up and ready to go.\u201d<\/p>\n
