But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand. - Ezekiel 33:6

The Lord Is Moving Mightily - The Florida Sound Money Act
We Are The Watchmen Weekly has been the tip of the spear with The Florida Sound Money Act, which would make gold & silver legal tender, make it transactional, and make it electronic so that people can buy it fractionally.
While we were in Tallahassee this week meeting with legislators, we received word that the act now has bill numbers in the Florida House of Representatives (HB 697 & HB 699) and in the Florida Senate (SB 750 & SB 752) and has bi-partisan support.
In scripture, the Lord tells us that gold & silver are HIS money - providing just weights and measures from HIS creation, not mans:
In Genesis 2:10-12:
10 A river watering the garden flowed from Eden; from there it was separated into four headwaters.
11 The name of the first is the Pishon; it winds through the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold.
12 (The gold of that land is good; aromatic resin and onyx are also there.)
In Haggai 2:8:
8 ‘The silver is mine and the gold is mine,’ declares the Lord Almighty.
And in Proverbs 11:1:
The Lord detests dishonest scales, but accurate weights find favor with him.
We’re excited to provide you an update on the progress of The Florida Sound Money Act in this interview with Citizens For Sound Money Executive Director Daniel Diaz.
In this interview, we also reference the the first ever unanimous vote (38-0) of the National Association of Christian Lawmakers (NACL) this week related the creation of model bill language, based on the Florida bill, that each state can use to pass their own Sound Money Act.
What You Can Do
If you are in Florida, please call, email, write, or visit your Representative or Senators office and urge them to support The Sound Money Act. Click Here for details.
If you’re in another state, take the lead on developing your own version of the bill and get your public servants on the board.
While we’re on the road to victory with Sound Money, the battle to protect God’s creation continues. We’ll cover that story, right after this.
Did you realize that something like a solar flare can knock out your electronics? Or kill your car?
Yes, you could be partying like it’s 1859 in the snap of a finger…
Yikes.
Best to be protected right? But what to do?

Hell’s Other Half-Acre - The “Satanic Abortion Ceremony”
(WARNING: The following segment contains sensitive language.)
(Editor’s Note: We Are The Watchmen Weekly was one of the first to cover this in the May 6, 2023 edition of the newsletter. Click Here to read the story.)
Recently, Cosmopolitan Magazine ran this story:
In this article, which you can Click Here to read, Cosmopolitan proceeds to act as the mouthpiece for The Satanic Temple (which also claims that they don’t actually worship the Satan) referring to the process of murder as a “Satanic Abortion Ceremony.”
From the article:
Samuel Alito’s Mom’s Satanic Abortion Clinic. Does it sound like pure clickbait? Sure. But beneath the outlandish branding lies a sincere mission: The New Mexico–based telehealth practice, a legitimate medical entity run by an accredited clinical team, offers abortion care to patients within state lines.
The staff prescribes abortion pills (at $91 per set, a competitive price) up until the eleventh week of pregnancy and offers 24/7 phone access to licensed medical personnel to anyone in need. It’s just that they’re also Satanists, members of a religious organization called The Satanic Temple.
Need a minute? No problem. This marrying of lightning-rod concepts is...a lot. Intentionally so, as The Satanic Temple (TST) attempts to take pervasive moral panic and flip it on its head, utilizing Satanists’ reputation for defiance to expand access to urgent health care.
Let’s take a moment to provide some perspective here.
From the May 6, 2023 edition of We Are The Watchmen, where we covered SatanCon:
“This isn’t about “human rights” or “social justice” - it’s about worshipping evil, the spirit of death, and the demon possession that comes with it.
The Lord, in His mighty and infinite wisdom, knew what fallen man was capable of… which is why He was clear about His hatred of human sacrifice, especially children.
In Leviticus 18:21:
Do not give any of your children to be sacrificed to Molek, for you must not profane the name of your God. I am the Lord.
And in Deuteronomy 12:31:
You must not worship the Lord your God in their way, because in worshiping their gods, they do all kinds of detestable things the Lord hates. They even burn their sons and daughters in the fire as sacrifices to their gods.
And in Jeremiah 32:35:
They built high places for Baal in the Valley of Ben Hinnom to sacrifice their sons and daughters to Molek, though I never commanded—nor did it enter my mind—that they should do such a detestable thing and so make Judah sin.
There’s no way to misinterpret the word of God…
And Satan knows it… which is why he misleads the lost into committing acts that God hates.”
Now, you can add Cosmopolitan Magazine to the list of Satan’s useful idiots.
Let’s continue.
“I think it’s genius,” says Jessica over hands-free while driving her kids around Albuquerque, running errands. The 37-year-old mother of three isn’t a Satanist, but as of this week, she’s a fan. She’s also pregnant but not for long. A set of abortion pills is waiting for her back home, thanks to speedy shipping via Samuel Alito’s Mom’s Satanic team.
Jessica and her husband don’t want any more children, especially given her history of super-high-risk pregnancies. Still, “It’s hard. It’s a hard decision,” she says. She’s decided to terminate this pregnancy within the next day or so, starting with an oral mifepristone pill in the morning followed by four misoprostol pills administered vaginally six hours later.
She stumbled upon the clinic while googling options for abortion medication in New Mexico. At first, while clicking through the website, Jessica found TST’s vibe “kind of off-putting.” (She was raised Catholic but is no longer religious.) Nevertheless, the price was right. And anyway, she prides herself on being open-minded. “I did some more research before I reached out,” she says. “Like, What is this? How do they operate? Are you able to see a practitioner?”
You are, and Jessica was pleasantly surprised by the TST intake consult she did at home over Zoom. “The experience was just very supportive,” she says. “I think that’s the biggest thing—they really reinforce that this is your decision and your choice and that you are supported.”
She listened with curiosity as the nurse described the optional ceremonial aspects of the Satanic abortion ritual:
First, you find a quiet space. Bring a mirror if you can. Just before taking the medication, gaze at your reflection and focus on your personhood. Home in on your intent, your responsibility to you. Take a few deep, relaxing breaths. When you’re ready, read the following tenet aloud: One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone. Take the medication and immediately afterward, recite, Beliefs should conform to one’s best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one’s beliefs.
Later, once your body expels the aborted tissue, return to your reflection. Focus again on your personhood, your power in making this decision. Complete the ritual by reciting a personal affirmation: By my body, my blood; by my will, it is done.
Hard Stop: Commentary.
What you’ve just read is a direct result of the Church abdicating leadership in the culture.
This woman, who is already a mother, has been misled so much that she views her unborn child as a transaction, not a life.
Let that sink in.
Then, take another look at how The Satanic Temple does exactly what Satan wants… they mock God:
She listened with curiosity as the nurse described the optional ceremonial aspects of the Satanic abortion ritual:

In the world of The Satanic Temple, your eyes are used to look at yourself and you must say the words…
But it’s not religious at all… it’s all science!
Except the part where the eyes and words have power.
As we are shown in Matthew 6:22-24:
22 “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light.
23 But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
And in Matthew 12:37:
37 For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.
Remember, Satan knows scripture better than you do.
Let’s wrap up… the ending will surprise you, and provides us with a reminder of the fight that we’re in.
Time will tell if it’s a winning strategy. In the meantime, the existing Samuel Alito’s Mom’s Satanic Abortion Clinic is focused on patient care and on raising funds, which come entirely from charitable donations and merch sales.
It’s had to make cutbacks recently—from five nurses to three (with at least two working only part-time), and it has outsourced some on-call shifts to a more affordable third-party provider. TST’s legal costs are currently hovering around $15,000 per month, and that’s on top of the $12,000 monthly minimum it takes to run the clinic. Says Helian, echoing many abortion care workers in 2023, “It’s a constant struggle to keep our heads above water.”
This is reproductive freedom work on the cultural periphery—part blessing, part curse. “People underestimate us and think we’re just trolling as a joke. But there’s a gift to not being taken seriously,” Helian says. “It gives us a bit of a David vs. Goliath impact. We’re able to sneak in at the right moment and shoot with our sling.”
Hard Stop: Commentary:
Two things stick out here:
God is showing himself to us… the “clinic” is struggling;
God is showing us the charlatan that Satan is with irony… David vs. Goliath is invoked at the very end by his minion.
It’s more important than ever before that we remain vigilant in the word of God. We’re seeing a “full scatter attack” from Satan where thing, after thing, after thing is being thrown at us in an effort to demoralize and confuse us.
DON’T LET HIM DO THIS. This means we’re closer than ever before to God’s glory and Satan knows this is his last chance.
Those who are lost or seeking need us to be able to talk about things like this and connect the dots to our, their current reality.
