Dollar store would be
benefit
To the editor:
I am taking this time
to voice my opinion of
the store that is wanting to
move into Heppner. I feel
a new and different type of
store could offer different
types of things for the town
without damaging the other
stores.
Opening a new store
could give our town a fresh-
er look and possibly expand
our needs. I honestly feel
the new store can help the
town receive items that the
other stores do not have.

We have entered dystopian stage
To the editor:
We have entered the
dystopian stage of the
Obama/Biden globalist
government where anyone
that questions or challeng-
es this new world order
will be censored, ridiculed,
persecuted or prosecuted.
For example, any person
that dares to say the presi-
dential election was stolen
or fraudulent will become a
target despite the fact that:
1) Three quarters of
the registered voters be-
lieve the 2020 presidential
election was fraudulent.
(Economist/YouGov Poll
Nov. 19, 20). The truth is
that any American that does
even a cursorily investiga-
tion will discover massive
evidence of voter fraud,
dead people voting, double
voting, illegal alien votes,
falsified votes by the tens of
thousands and government
manipulation of votes. Un-
fortunately, that is not the
major threat to our republic
and freedom.
2) Our election voting
systems have been compro-
mised. Dominion and every
other voting machine are all
connected to the internet,
where cyber malware eas-
ily changes the algorithms,
determining the rulers of
governments throughout
the once free world. (NBC
news, Jan. 10, 21). Domin-
ion executives lie under
oath, knowing full well
their own manuals reveal
their deceit and treachery.
They lie under oath be-
cause they know America’s
current justice system will
protect them. Unless this
fraudulent voting system is
corrected, patriotic Ameri-
cans that love our republic
and way of life will never
win another election. The
democrats that control both
houses of congress have
reintroduced H.R.I. which
will include “nationwide
online voter registration,
(with minimal verifica-
tion requirements), same
day registration; automatic
voter registration…and le-
galization of ballot harvest-
ing.” (Epoch Times, Feb.
3. 21). Unfortunately, there
are even greater threats to
our liberty.
3) Our American Con-
gress and the vast majority
of our news and media
outlets waste our precious
blessings of governess
with a senseless and futile
effort to impeach a pres-
ident fraudulently voted
out of office. At the same
time our enemies, with the
support of Obama/Biden
(China, Russia and Iran),
insidiously and ominously
(economically, political-
ly and militarily) gather
strength and confidence to
destroy our nation. There
is undeniable evidence, that
our courts will not allow
to be presented, that our
presidential election was
hacked and stolen from the
American people by foreign
nations that want to anni-
hilate America. President
Trump won by such a large
margin that even our gov-
ernment and national voting
fraud could not elect Joe
Biden. The steal required
foreign government cyber
interference of the election,
of which 66 percent came
from China. (Mike Lindell,
“Absolute Proof,” Feb. 5,
One America News). The
second greatest source of
cyber-attack came from
Iran. In 27 states in America
our votes are counted and
stored in overseas servers
easily changed and manip-
ulated. (Lindell, op. cit).
Iran, China and multiple
globalist nations have con-
spired with the Biden/Har-
ris/Pelosi/Schumer/Obama
government to remove the
Trump administration, con-
sistent with their mutual
globalist, anti-God agendas.
This is nothing short of an
act of war against America
and the American people.
And worst of all, that is not
the greatest threat to our
republic and way of life.
4) Abraham Lincoln
prophetically warned, “At
what point then is the ap-
proach of danger to be ex-
pected? I answer, if it ever
reach us, it must spring up
amongst. It cannot come
from abroad. If destruc-
tion be our lot, we must
ourselves be its author and
finisher. As a nation of free-
men, we must live through
all time, or die by suicide.”
(Lyceum Address, 1838).
Our American Republic,
our liberty birthright, our
heritage of freedom lies
in the balance, not only
because of traitors in our
midst or even foreign in-
terference, but primarily
because of Americans in
positions of elected power
and authority have been
bribed or blackmailed or are
just plain cowards. These
traitors are unwilling to
stand up against the deceit
and treachery of deadly
foes within and without
our nation. This is why
the Clintons get away with
bloody murder. This is why
Barack Obama can make
deals with our enemies,
Russia and Iran, and none
dare call it conspiracy. This
is why a career, corrupt,
compromised politician,
who could not gather an
audience, could be elected
as President of the USA.
This is why politicians can
lie, cheat, incite violence
and sleep with Chinese
spies with no consequence.
This is why the DOJ, FBI,
Internal Revenue, Supreme
Court Justice Roberts, and
pick any government agen-
cy; promote iniquity and
call it justice. This is why
A.G. William Barr can
boldly pronounce there is
no evidence of fraud in the
election. Why? Because
the fraudulent vote has
never been adjudicated
in a court of law. None
of this lawlessness and
treachery could happen if
the press and media would
expose wickedness instead
of giving cover to those
that hate America. This is
why the fraudulent election
has never been uncovered.
The forensic evidence, the
voting deceit, the corrupt
voting officials have never
been brought to trial. Leg-
islators and lawyers have
been threatened with crimi-
nal action by those in power
in our government should
they attempt to expose the
wickedness in high places
in America today. All who
have the courage to speak
out and expose the treach-
ery, like the pillow man
Mike Lindell, have been
mercilessly attacked, their
business partners threat-
ened, and censored by the
media, twitter, Facebook
and the press.
The greatest threat to
our liberty, our freedom,
our way of life, our wonder-
ful heritage as Americans
is this: lack of courage
and integrity in those that
govern our nation or report
the daily news. Our fore-
fathers had courage, from
the Pilgrims to our men in
Vietnam, from the Revolu-
tionary heroes to the youth
that charged Dunkirk. Our
republic is under attack
from within and without.
Hosea 4:6 warns, “My peo-
ple are destroyed for lack
of knowledge.” Do not be
deceived by the lies and de-
ception on every corner of
a nation that once honored
the God of the Bible. Do not
fear these traitors. Fear only
the One who has the keys to
Heaven and Hell. The Lord
is looking upon the face of
the earth to empower those
with courage to stand for
truth, justice, liberty and the
blessings of the God of our
forefathers.
