Bill O'Reilly: War against Trump triggered by 'hysteria,' like the Salem witch trials
Witch House, Salem, Massachusetts
Media personality and author Bill O'Reilly's "Killing" book series has met with much success, selling tens of millions of copies of titles like "Killing Reagan," "Killing Kennedy," "Killing Lincoln," "Killing the Rising Sun," "Killing Crazy Horse" and more.
They each examine a portion of history in depth.
His newest talks about a brief, and very unpleasant, period of American history, in "Killing the Witches." It addresses the horrific details of life in Salem during the years 1692 and 1693 when 20 people were executed – after being accused of being witches.
But his inspiration for the project comes a little closer to today.
In fact, today, as multiple Democrat prosecutors in state and federal positions are warring against President Donald Trump.
On the Just the News program "Just the News, No Noise," he explained what he saw in "today's deterioration of the legal process and seemingly fading rights of the accused party amid the cancel culture," the report said.
"That's why I wrote the book, by the way," he explained. "[It's] the same thing that happened in Salem. No due process, hysteria, driven by fanatics, is happening now and cancel culture is a witch hunt.
"The same things are in play. You're not getting executed, but your life can be destroyed in a heartbeat, just by an accusation."
He continued, "And Americans don't understand how pernicious this Salem thing – [t]his is driven by 12-year-old girls. [Y]ou imagine you're tilling the field in 1692 and all of a sudden a constable comes up, arrests you to take you to jail. The next day, you're in a courtroom. Five girls are going 'oh, so and so came to me in the night told me to sign the Devil's book' and there are adults going 'yeah, yeah, yeah.'"
He said that is what happened.
"Twenty human beings executed in Salem, no due process, no evidence, no anything. And it was just absolutely hysterical."
And it's happening today. He said, "Now, in 2023, we're right back there with the cancel culture. Accusations can ruin your life."
In fact, Democrats in Congress, under the direction of ex-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, held an impeachment vote against President Trump without any hearing that included any evidence, without any testimony, without any witnesses.
He was acquitted in the GOP-majority U.S. Senate.
Just the News explained, "The former president faces four criminal indictments as well as an ongoing civil fraud trial. Special counsel Jack Smith has brought two indictments, one related to Trump's alleged mishandling of classified documents and another related to his election challenges. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has brought another case related to his election challenges while Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has brought a case over a 2016 payment to Stormy Daniels. Trump appeared in a New York court Tuesday to face state Attorney General Letitia James's prosecution. He has deemed all of the cases part of a broader political 'witch hunt' designed to derail his 2024 White House bid."
In fact, he's been charged for offenses that Joe Biden also committed – mishandling classified documents. Only Biden never has been charged for his actions.
And Trump has been in court for making the same claims about an election that Al Gore did during 2000, only Al Gore never has been charged for his statements.
O'Reilly explained, "Trump uses the term witch hunt every day… And I talked to one of his guys, I said, Can he hold up the book when he says witch hunt? Whenever he's going 'witch hunt, witch hunt' ... hold up 'Killing the Witches.'"
In a statement on Wednesday, Trump commented about a civil case accusing him of inflating the values of his property, a trial that has seen no evidence of unpaid loans, injury to a lender or anything of that kind.
He said: "I just left the courthouse for the day for my unjust trial in New York. Th lawsuit was incited by an Attorney General who actively campaigned on a PROMISE to sue me. Or, as she put it in her own kind and gentle words… 'we’re gonna definitely sue him. We’re gonna be a real pain in the…' (you know what… I’m not going to say it!) Does that sound like someone who’s going to treat me fairly, honorably, and with no bias at all? I don’t think so! Politicians, drunk with power, are weaponizing the legal system to try and completely destroy me – and, ultimately, imprison me for the rest of my life as an innocent man. And why do they want to stop me so bad? Because they know that I’m on the verge of winning the 2024 election in a landslide and upon taking office, will take away their power and return it to YOU, the American people."
IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: Believe it or not, today's high priests of climate-change apocalypse are correct in predicting that in just a few short years, the earth will become miserable, wretched and almost uninhabitable by human beings. But the grim future they envision won't come about because of "catastrophic climate change," but rather, because of the implementation of their completely insane and truly catastrophic agenda.
As Greenpeace co-founder Dr. Patrick Moore recently admitted, "If they actually achieve Net Zero, at least 50% of the population would die of hunger and disease." Likewise, writes energy expert and author Alex Epstein: "Today's proposed policies to rapidly eliminate fossil fuel use would, if fully implemented, have truly apocalyptic consequences – making the world an impoverished, dangerous, and miserable place for most people."
Question: When the scientific case for global warming apocalypse consists primarily of a 1-degree Celsius rise in temperature over more than 130 years, what explains the obsession with an imminent, climate-caused end of the world?
Although many groups have been drawn into the Climate Change Cult – from the news media (which has warned of climate catastrophe, either global warming or a "new ice age," for over a century!), to innocent school kids indoctrinated by hysterical leftist teachers, to liberal Democrats who claim "climate change" will destroy the earth in a few years – the REAL villains are the national and global elites who KNOW the apocalyptic global warming religion is just a cruel hoax, but promote and exploit it as a means of accomplishing their ultimate goal: Transforming and ruling the world.
The heart and soul of today's bizarre, pagan climate-change religion, and the global elites' strategies for using it to rule all of mankind, is powerfully exposed and illuminated in the September issue of WND's critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, an issue titled "CULT OF THE CLIMATE APOCALYPSE: The elites' breathtaking strategy for ruling the world." WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
