Governor Abbot, Judge Moye, Shelley Luther & Our New State Religion



“If you would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge that your own actions were selfish, putting your own interest ahead of those in the community in which you live, that you now see the error of your ways and understand that the society cannot function when one’s own belief in a concept of liberty permits you to flaunt your disdain for the rulings of duly elected officials. That you owe an apology to the elected officials for whom you disrespected for flagrantly ignoring and, in one case, defiling their orders, which you now know obviously applies to you. that you understand that the proper way in an ordered society to engage concerns which you may have had is to hire a lawyer and advocate for change and exception to laws you find offensive. That you publicly state that this is the way that citizens in this state should behave. That you represent to this court that you will, today, cease operation of your salon and not reopen until further order of the Government permit you to do so. this court will consider the payment of a fine in lieu of incarceration which you have demonstrate that you have so clearly earned.”

Dallas Judge Eric Moye
Sentencing Hair Salon Owner Shelly Luther


No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

Bill of Rights V Amendment


1.) Shelley Luther (Owner of the closed hair salon in Texas) has had her fifth amendment rights violated by the Governor of Texas (Greg Abbot) who in his Executive Order regarding the closing of business did deprive all affected business owners of their property without due process of law. Judge Eric Moye then added insult to injury by jailing and fining Mrs. Luther for refusing to obey an unconstitutional order from the Governor of Texas. This is a clear case of tyranny as handed down by both the Governor of Texas and as underscored by this leftist Marxist Judge (Obama appointee) in Texas.

2.) After Mrs. Luther refused to bow down and grovel to this arrogant piece of skubala judge the man wearing the black robe literally said to the bailiff, “Take this bi…Uh, defendant away.”

3.) Notice Judge Moye’s lack of command of the English language. The skubala Judge used an inaccurate word and said Luther “defiled” an order when the word he wanted was “defied.” Clearly we have a Judge here whose IQ level doesn’t match the demands of his work. “Defiled,” is typically a theological term and means, “desecrate or profane (something sacred).”

However, on second thought, the use of a theological term was actually more accurate given what was going on as this woman was brought before this skubala Judge. Shelley Luther was a penitent brought before the State’s Father Confessor and as a heretic was being demanded that she confess her sins and publicly recant of her behavior and so have her price of penance diminished. Medieval Rome couldn’t have put on a better display.

4.) It was an overtly religious exercise. We are not dealing with some kind of “secularization” process. This all communicates that we are dealing with another religion. The judge just forgot to demand a pinch of incense and that she prostrate herself.

The danger of calling this “secularization” is that what happens with that language is that it implies that what is happening is that the culture is embracing a morality of the “secular” when in point of fact the culture is embracing the morality of a religion different from Christianity and so the culture is not being secularized but humanism-ized.  I think this is a significant point that we too often fly right by. When we complain about secularism and secularization it communicates that some form of mystery agent is changing our culture. However when we identify the alien religion that is gaining hegemony it becomes more clear who are enemy is.

Shelley Luther before Judge Moye teaches those with eyes to see that all of this was a extraordinarily religious exercise.

Governor Abbot — Pope making fiat declarations from the chair
Judge Moye — Father Confessor enforcing the Pope’s declaration
Shelley Luther — Heretic and penitent being required to recant of her sins
Jail time and fine — The penance that heretic must pay to pay for their sins

The irony here that the Governor’s last name is “Abbot” and the defendant’s last name is Luther is mind-boggling.
