Trumpet Sounds, Five Alarm Shouts,
of What Is Happening NOW in the U.S. 3/22/2025 |
As the impacts of the new regime ripple out, learn the deeper stakes involved. Get your copy of Trump & the MAGA Movement as Anti-Christ! Choose your format in the book block below. |
I share here a litany of warning signs of what is transpiring in America now. I tried to warn people about the presence of the antichrist energy before the election in my book, Trump & The MAGA Movement as Anti-Christ. Both the religious and secular press was afraid to look at it or review it. It was apparently too hot to handle. Now things are very hot in our country for those who are paying attention. |

has
collected 31 million data points from 202 countries from over 4200 scholars who measure 600 different attributes of democracy.* |
Said he: “If it continues like this, democracy [in the US] will not last another six months.” Trump is imitating Erdogan in Turkey, Victor Orban in Hungary and Modi in India but on a much faster scale. “It’s the pace. He’s trying to do in a few months what it took them 8-10 years to achieve….It’s very dire.” Removing the US from the list of democratic countries is on the horizon. In his article, “Trump Has Gone from Unconstitutional to Anti-Constitutional,” Jamelle Boules writes: An anti-constitutional act is one that rejects the basic premises of constitutionalism. It rejects the premise that sovereignty lies with the people, that ours is a government of limited and enumerated powers and that the officers of that government are bound by
law.** |
“Schumer: We are IN a constitutional crisis because of ‘lawless’ Trump.” MSNBC | Trump’s actions as president demonstrate an “anti-constitutional
orientation” and “rest on fundamentally anti-constitutional assertions of executive authority.” He is “clearly not restrained by the Constitution” or by “another important element of |
constitutionalism—an interest in and concern for the future.” |
A
narcissist lives in his own world for his own goals and seeks his own immortality. (This is me speaking.) In an article entitled “Welcome to Trump’s America: Where Immigrants Vanish, Courts are Ignored and No One is Safe,” Thom Hartmann offers his stark view of the current American scene.*** He warns us that “once
the government starts rounding people up, it doesn’t stop” and “when a president declares an ‘invasion’ to justify shredding the Constitution… he’s declaring war on democracy itself.” We have defined ourselves for over 240 years as a country where the rule of law, justice, due process, and constitutional order is essential. “Yet today, we are witnessing a grotesque and unprecedented assault on those very principles.” |
What begins with asylum seekers and immigrants can tomorrow be political opponents, journalists or anyone who criticizes the dictator. Trump’s “border czar” Tom Homan said it out loud. “We are not stopping. I don’t care what the judges think. I |
“Questions mount on whether President Trump ignored court order on deportations.” CBS

don’t care what the Left thinks. We’re coming.” |
Hartmann writes: The Republican Party, already complicit in countless abuses of power, must be forced to confront this atrocity. Every Republican in the House and Senate who still believes in the Constitution—if any remain—must rise up and act….This fight is not just for Congress—it is for every American. We must flood the streets in protest, call our representatives, challenge what is going on in the courts, media and ballot
box. Silence is complicity. The time to resist is now. Every single American who values freedom, regardless of party affiliation, must speak out. As we do this, many will need simple but radical prayer to uphold us. The “I am” poems we have shared in the DM’s this week offer such strengthening prayers
that ground us in the “source without a source” as Thomas Aquinas once talked of the Creator God. |

One River, Many Wells: Wisdom Springing from Global Faiths
Matthew Fox calls on all the world traditions for their wisdom and their inspiration in a work that is far more
than a list of theological position papers but a new way to pray—to meditate in a global spiritual context on the wisdom all our traditions share. Fox chooses 18 themes that are foundational to any spirituality and demonstrates how all the world spiritual traditions offer wisdom about each.“Reading One River, Many Wells is like entering the rich silence of a masterfully directed retreat. As you read this text, you reflect, you pray, you embrace Divinity. Truly no words can fully
express my respect and awe for this magnificent contribution to contemporary spirituality.” –Caroline Myss, author of Anatomy of the Spirit |

The Coming of the Cosmic Christ: The Healing of Mother Earth and the Birth of a Global Renaissance
In what may be considered the
most comprehensive outline of the Christian paradigm shift of our Age, Matthew Fox eloquently foreshadows the manner in which the spirit of Christ resurrects in terms of the return to an earth-based mysticism, the expression of creativity, mystical sexuality, the respect due the young, the rebirth of effective forms of worship—all of these mirroring the ongoing blessings of Mother Earth and the recovery of Eros, the feminine aspect of the Divine.
“The eighth wonder of the world…convincing proof that our Western religious tradition does indeed have the depth of imagination to reinvent its faith.” — Brian Swimme, author of The Universe Story and Journey of the Universe.
“This book is a classic.” Thomas Berry, author of The Great Work and The Dream of the Earth. |

Stations of the Cosmic Christ
By Matthew Fox and Bishop Marc Andrus.
This is a book of meditations on the
Cosmic Christ, accompanying the images of 16 wonderful clay tablets by Javier Ullrrich Lemus and M.C. Richards. Together, these images and meditations go far beyond the traditional Stations of the Cross to inspire a spirit awakening and understanding of the cosmic Christ Consciousness, Buddha consciousness, and consciousness of the image of God in all beings, so needed in our times.
“A divinely inspired book that
must be read by every human being devoted to spiritual and global survival. It is cosmically brilliant.” — Caroline Myss, author of Anatomy of the Spirit

Trump & The MAGA Movement as Anti-Christ: A Handbook for the 2024 Election Matthew Fox tells us
that he had always shied away from using the term “Anti-Christ” because it was so often used to spread control and fear. However, given today’s rise of authoritarianism and forces of democracide, ecocide, and christofascism, he turns the tables in this book employing the archetype for the cause of justice, democracy, and a renewed Earth and humanity. For immediate access to Trump & The MAGA Movement as Anti-Christ: A Handbook for the 2024 Election, order the e-book with 10 full-color prints from Amazon HERE. To get a print-on-demand paperback copy with black & white images, order from Amazon HERE or IUniverse HERE. To receive a limited-edition, full-color paperback copy, order from MatthewFox.org HERE.

Sins of the Spirit, Blessings of the Flesh: Transforming Evil in Soul and Society
Visionary theologian and best-selling
author Matthew Fox offers a new theology of evil that fundamentally changes the traditional perception of good and evil and points the way to a more enlightened treatment of ourselves, one another, and all of nature. In comparing the Eastern tradition of the 7 chakras to the Western tradition of the 7 capital sins, Fox allows us to think creatively about our capacity for personal and institutional evil and what we can do about them.
“A scholarly masterpiece embodying a better vision and depth of perception far beyond the grasp of any one single science. A breath-taking analysis.” — Diarmuid O’Murchu, author of Quantum Theology: Spiritual Implications of the New Physics |
