The other day was “Election Day,” but as Joe Biden had predicted, the counting will continue and citizens may not know for days (or years) the truth of the results of the various elections (especially in battleground states). This is the result of how highly contentious the elections have become since the new millennium with the Bush v. Gore fiasco. It is the portend of all things to come in the following years.
Today, there are a number of items that need to be covered, so it is easier to get right to them. The first is difficult to express, and it must be dealt with, so we’ll get it out of the way up front: As I mentioned in previous editions, our Citizen Sentinels Network website had been attacked and we are still struggling with it. It will take a great deal of time and capital to restore it to the way it was before, and since we are simply volunteers, we have to make a decision as to the best way to proceed. We are in the process of deciding the changes that must be made to adapt to newly incurred issues, not of our own choice, nor of our own making. If there were a greater demand in readership, decisions would not be complicated. So, for our readers, we again have to adjust what it is we are going to offer in the realm of news and views. The effort will continue forward; it is just not clear how it will transpire at present. Further announcements will provide illumination on this dilemma, so stay “tuned in.”
Today’s edition is abbreviated due toi the attack on the website. We cannot link back to a broken site, so we cannot have multiple articles as we normally do in the Thursday edition. There are two articles today. One is from A. Dru Kristenev entitled, “Good and faithful servant... Do politics count?” It is an article that was originally posted in the Citizen Free Press before the election. It had been posted only with a link to the article in our Sunday’s LightWing edition, but it is worth featuring fully in this edition.
We also have a second article from Jim Bratten who has been quiet for a while leading up to the elections. His article references American Marxists and touches on Mark Levin’s illumination of “these people” in his article entitled, “Who ARE these people?” Unfortunately, low-information and uninformed voters elect these people. Then, that is when elections have consequences. It appears that despite the warnings of those who have a clearer ‘eyesight’ or foresight, many of “these people” were elected or re-elected on Tuesday. His article helps improve ones’ vision.
Lastly, Veteran’s Day is tomorrow, and we hope that Americans will take some time from the rush of their busy days to remember those men and women who have served, and also those who are still serving their country. We have included some entries to jog people’s memories as we move forward to Friday.
Again, our continuing hope is that more Americans would awaken to the self-evident truths before them in such a time as this so they can also begin to fight back in the way they may be called to help restore the Republic. Our continuing hope is that more Americans could share the news and views in the Citizens Voice with others who might value the messages as well, or with those who may need renewed enlightenment. Our continuing hope is that the news and views in the Citizens Voice could stimulate our readers’ thinking, but also motivate them to use any relevant information to make intelligent decisions as we move forward into the battle for the soul of America.

Second Notice: While we try to avoid errors and mistakes and we hope we would always strive to share the truth, sometimes errors occur and mistakes are made. We have recently discovered that in an article titled, “The Enemies of the Cross,” featured in a previous issue, referred to George Gascon as a District Attorney of San Francisco. While he once held that post, he is currently the DA of Los Angeles County.
Being involved in the political process is a requirement. Being a bystander is not an option. It is every Christian's duty to research the issues and candidates, learn where they register in regard to God's Word and vote
“Good and faithful servant... Do politics count?”
By A. Dru Kristenev ——Bio and Archives--November 6, 2022
The subject of this column may land me in the doghouse with some Christians who consider the concept of a ‘political ministry’ unsavory, or that there is no such thing. Begging to differ, political ministry has been the focus of personal endeavor for more than two decades. Days before a life changing (or threatening, depending on one’s perspective) election is the time to make the case for every Christian’s role in politics, how it must be recognized that politics is being driven by secular social and cultural pressure.
To take a biblical stance on what role a believer should have in the world, which includes the political process, is to note that Jesus didn’t tell His followers to sit back on their haunches and wait for redemption. He pressed them to be vocal about the Kingdom of God and its manifestation in the spirit despite the opposition coming from both the Roman government and His own people comprising the Judean hierarchy.
Godly transformation of the culture to reflect what is good and wholesome
Jesus sent out his disciples, first by the dozen and then by the seventy, to be His voice, hands and feet (Romans 10:14-16) preparing the way for Him, for truth and justice to speak and be received. (Luke 10:1-20)
He prayed in John 17:15-18: “I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth. As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.” NKJV
Jesus sent His disciples into the world to do what? To speak the truth that is God’s Word. The Word at that time was the Old Testament foretelling the Kingdom. It was the Law that would no longer be a treatise written in stone, but written on the heart (Jeremiah 31:33) and understood in the spirit to be followed in the natural. Jesus was directing His disciples (that includes Christians today) to walk in the world speaking, living and sharing the truth that the world may be changed, individual by individual, to inherit the Kingdom.
And that means action, physical interaction with the world to bring about Godly transformation of the culture to reflect what is good and wholesome. (Think about the term ‘wholesome’ as being literal – becoming whole in being: corporeally, emotionally and spiritually connected to God.) It means not only speaking the truth but actively engaging with the world to see and feel the benefits of living according to the truth.
Each of Jesus’ parables has multiple applications for believers to learn what is expected of them in this life. The parable of the Talents is one that theologians have taught on all levels, as an uncomplicated lesson to being complexly dissected. This take is middle-ground.
The seed is the word of God…
First of all, the parable of the Ten Virgins isn’t separate from the Talents that follows in Matthew 25. Read this from Young’s Literal Translation: 13 ‘Watch therefore, for ye have not known the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man doth come.
14 ‘For—as a man going abroad did call his own servants, and did deliver to them his substance…”
The watchword in Verse 14 is “For” which ties the first tale to the second in that it is a lesson on how believers are to be pro-active in preparing for the coming of the Kingdom and not lax. Not only are believers to make preparations for themselves but they are to increase what they are given, which in the “talents” is to invest what they are given. They are told not to be “unprofitable” or they would suffer “weeping and gnashing of teeth” in their banishment from the King’s presence.
But what are the talents? Note the scripture: Matthew 25: 26 ‘And his lord answering said to him, Evil servant, and slothful, thou hadst known that I reap where I did not sow, and I gather whence I did not scatter! 27 …it behoved thee then to put my money to the money-lenders, and having come I had received mine own with increase.’
Where Jesus says that the master reaps where he didn’t sow, it refers back to the foundational parable of the sower where he answers the disciples with this, Luke 8:11 ‘And this is the simile: The seed is the word of God…’ YLT
The talents are the seed and God reaps what He does not sow. He gives us the seed, the Word, and sends us forth to sow it that His truth may be increased, the riches of His Word grown by action.
The seed must be sown into the world and that requires being active in the world and not sitting out the political process
How then is the seed to be sown? The immediate answer most Christians will supply is by preaching the Word. But is there more to it than that? Obviously, my answer that some may dispute comes from having a ‘political ministry,’ and that is to sow God’s Word, the seed (or talents) through taking action to change the culture to closer reflect the Kingdom by involvement in the world and that means – yep, you got it… politics.
Prayer makes a difference by changing the worldly atmosphere to be more receptive to the truth, but that is only the first step. The seed must be sown into the world and that requires being active in the world and not sitting out the political process. If we do sit on the sidelines, then we are being the unprofitable, lazy servant who buried the talent, the seed, the Word, making it unavailable to do what it’s meant to do, which is to change hearts which changes culture.
Should believers wish to be greeted with “Well done, good and faithful servant” upon leaving this world and entering the next, we are expected to sow the seed that God may reap the harvest because we have endeavored to influence the world to look more like heaven. Matthew 6:10 “Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.” KJV
Being involved in the political process is a requirement. Being a bystander is not an option. It is every Christian’s duty to research the issues and candidates, learn where they register in regard to God’s Word and vote.

Who ARE these people?
By Jim Bratten – 11/7/22
Democrats own slavery, Indian removal, forced sterilization, fascism, socialism and American Marxism. They also own the present-day hate and violence of the New Black Panther Party, the Occupy movement, Antifa and Black Lives Matter. The planned riots, looting, arson, seizure of property and attacks on police across the nation in 2020 and since, were executed with the complete support of the Democrat Party and its surrogates on the Left. They have used violence for decades to apply their hate and to create fear and chaos.
Aligned with the Democrats’ violent genes, they also own a diabolical record of racism. In the 19th Century, Democrats were the party of slavery and Republicans the party of abolition. This also held true throughout most of the 20th Century; Democrats were the party of segregation and Republicans the party of desegregation. “Jim Crow” laws were instituted by Democrats, as was the founding and financing of the Ku Klux Klan. Bull Conner was a Democrat. FDR put a Klansman on the Supreme Court.
Democrats opposed the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments (sometimes known as the “slavery abolition amendments”) in massive numbers, and a century later also provided rabid opposition to the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1965 Voting Rights Act. Republicans finally passed these two laws after many months of filibustering by Democrats. And “systemic racism” has run through Democrat veins for well over 160 years, long before the War Between the States, but it does not exist as a “system” in this country – or in law enforcement as a profession – only in the fevered rainbow reality of the Left.
Today, the ideological progeny of the 1968 SDS (Students for a Democratic Society) rioters control the leadership of the present day Democrat Party, the affinity for Marxism so thick that many have named them American Marxists. These radical imitators of Joe Stalin communism populate the Biden Regime throughout its cabinet positions and in virtually all the agencies of the federal government.
Progressives in general do not love the America you and I love and cherish as Conservatives.
We seek to preserve our nation as founded, as it was intended to be by our Founders (those who conceived it) and Framers (authors of the Constitution of the United States).
The difference between the sides is stark.
Simply put, in this election as in many past, one side is anti-American (America haters who want to drastically transform the nation into a socialist/fascist/Marxist state); the other is American (those who wish to preserve the nation as founded in liberty).
Author, attorney, radio host, and Fox News host of “Life, Liberty, and Levin,” Mark Levin laid the differences bare in an early October show...
Biden has defined his “battle” between two sides: democracy as advocated by Democrats, and autocracy as practiced by Republicans. Joe doesn’t even grasp that the United States is not a “democracy.” Our Founders rejected that system in favor of a REPUBLIC, which we are – people electing their representatives. Levin explained it as republicanism. The Founders “embraced representative government. They embraced constitutionalism… checks and balances, separation of powers. It’s right there in the Constitution. It’s right there in the Federalist Papers,” Levin said. “But I don’t expect Joe Biden, who... took an oath to uphold this document… to comprehend any of this. And the reason is simple... You cannot be a Progressive, or as I call them, American Marxists, and support the Constitution.”
He explained the efforts of Progressives to shred that document, “because it puts checks on their power… The purpose of the Constitution is to protect the individual. The purpose of the so-called Progressive movement is to dehumanize the individual.” In the process of dismantling the Constitution, Democrats want to completely abandon the separation of powers that are vital to prevent greedy politicians from becoming too powerful and tyrannical.
Levin also exposed how they seek permanent power by abolishing the electoral College, ensuring that resource-rich rural (red) states assume their rightful place as colonies of the megalopolis, financially dominant enclaves (blue states). Unfortunately for Progressives, our Founders were ardent students of history going back to ancient Western civilizations and experienced the oppression of having no voice in government during their own time. This was the reason for the American War for Independence (Revolutionary War); our forefathers rebelled, forming a government around the idea of individual liberty.
“The purpose of the Progressive movement” is not to protect the individual, Levin noted, but to protect “groups of people, socially engineer society and centralize government under a relative handful of masterminds.” They are American Marxists.

We continue to urge citizens to take ownership of the responsibility to keep the Republic!
Remember, an educated and enlightened citizenry is vital for our future. As it has been written:
“Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.” Proverbs 29:18 - KJV
The Citizens Voice provides information that the mainstream media hopes people don’t receive. Forward these newsletters to your friends and let them witness, first hand, that there is more than one side to a story. Then they will begin to understand the peril that our nation is in and be able to make informed decisions.
We are truly thankful for all of our readers who have chosen to assist our efforts in bringing the information and words of encouragement to all Americans we can possibly reach. We are truly grateful for the generous donations from our fellow Citizen Sentinels. It helps us keep going as a truly volunteer effort. Thank you so very much for whatever can be given.
"If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin." ~ Samuel Adams, 1776
Ownership of our Republic is now the fight of our time! Keeping our Republic depends upon the genuine sense of ownership of the Land of the Free. Either this is our country, or it will belong to those who are actively seeking to take it from us. It is the same mentality that inspired someone long ago to express the sentiment that “All it takes for evil to triumph is that good people do nothing.” Efforts to take responsibility for keeping this nation a free Republic are organically occurring right now all across the nation.
I just absolutely love your Citizen Voice bulletin, it is a great inspiration to me, and I am Canadian, so sorry that this is happening to you but you're doing something right but exposing the lies, and bringing us light!
