Griner/ Merchant of Death Swap Verifies Biden is the Sin and Death President

Former WNBA star Brittney Griner was reportedly released by Russia in a prisoner swap for the notorious Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout, according to a U.S. official.

In February [2022], Griner, a two-time Olympic basketball champion, was arrested by Russia and pleaded guilty to possession of cannabis vape cartridges at an airport near Moscow.

Possessing seven grams or more carries criminal penalties in Russia. Those can include up to two years of “corrective labor.” Yet Griner was charged with smuggling cannabis into Russia, which holds a prison sentence of five to 10 years. Griner was sentenced to nine years.

In order to obtain Griner’s release, President Joe Biden authorized Bout to be released from prison and returned him to Russia. Bout will escape 25 years of federal prison time. Bout has served just half the time in prison he received in 2011 (Breitbart. Brittney Griner Released).

Bout was also granted a commutation by President Joe Biden for his remaining prison time. That means, Bout cannot be re-arrested and imprisoned for his previous crimes to finish his sentence.

Biden Responsible for Resultant Deaths

This prisoner swap was horrendous and is exactly why I have dubbed Biden the “Sin and Death President.” We give Russia the notorious gun dealer Viktor Bout, known as the “Merchant of Death,” for a woke black lesbian basketball player who hates America.

The Merchant of Death will now aid Russia in acquiring weapons in its going war against Ukraine. That will in turn cause us to send Ukraine even more weapons to fight back, at much cost to US taxpayers. That all will prolong the war, leading to much more death and destruction in Ukraine. All of that additional shed blood will be on Biden. We will then pay to rebuild Ukraine after the war is finally over, probably years from, at even greater cost to US taxpayers due to this disastrous prisoner swap.

Bout will also go back to aiding warlords in other countries in acquiring weapons, leading to much suffering and death in those countries. That suffering and death will also be on Biden. Eventually, those weapons will be aimed at Americans, and the blood of those dead Americans will also be on Biden.

Nicknamed the “Merchant of Death,” Bout is a flamboyant arms dealer in his mid-50s with Russian military training. He became a billionaire by raiding the armories of the collapsing Soviet Union in the early 90s and using old Soviet cargo planes to transport his black-market weapons to conflict zones around the world.

Bout’s criminal genius has been hailed by every international law enforcement agency that went after him. He was smart enough to mix his weapons shipments with more legitimate cargoes, posturing as a humanitarian who just wanted to sell cheap food to starving Africans. Meanwhile, he was selling guns to every bad actor from al-Qaeda and Hezbollah, to both the Taliban and its enemies in Afghanistan.

Bout was bagged in Thailand in 2008 while trying to sell weapons to Colombian terrorists who were actually CIA agents in disguise. He was not just selling his murderous Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) customers a few pistols — the deal included “800 surface-to-air missiles (SAMs), 30,000 AK-47 firearms, 10 million rounds of ammunition, five tons of C-4 plastic explosives, ‘ultralight’ airplanes outfitted with grenade launchers and unmanned aerial vehicles.”

“As the evidence at trial showed, Viktor Bout was ready to sell a weapons arsenal that would be the envy of some small countries. He aimed to sell those weapons to terrorists for the purpose of killing Americans. With today’s swift verdict, justice has been done and a very dangerous man will be behind bars,” then-U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Preet Bharara said after Bout’s 2011 conviction (Breitbart. Rumors).

If this sale had gone through, the resultant terrorist attack on the USA would have dwarfed 9/11. And now, Bout is free to orchestrate a similar arms sale to those who hate America.

Griner’s Skin Shade and Lesbianism Got Her Released

Meanwhile, the reason Biden was so intent on getting Griner back home was because of her skin shade and sexual orientation. We know that, as Mark Fogel, a teacher from here in southwestern PA, is being held in Russia on the same charge as Griner, possession of medical marijuana. However, there is not even talk about his release, even though he has been in captivity in Russia longer than Griner was.

Fogel, 61, has been detained in Russia since August 2021 when authorities there found about 17 grams of medical marijuana in his luggage.

Since arriving at the penal colony, Fogel, a longtime teacher, has met with representatives from the American Embassy for two hours and been able to call his family in the United States several times. But his family said Thursday [12/8/22] they have received no word that a prisoner swap is in the works for him.

“It’s good that Brittney is on her way home. She doesn’t deserve to be there,” said Fogel’s sister Lisa Hyland, of O’Hara [near Pittsburgh]. “It’s devastating Marc’s not part of that. I just hope they’re working just as hard for him as they are for her” (Trib live. Family).

Fogel, 61, has a severe medical condition that’s given him chronic pain for decades. He has undergone three back surgeries, a spinal fusion, a hip replacement and two knee surgeries (Trib Live. U.S. senators).

Despite his greater time already served in Russia, his longer sentence (14 years), and his severe health conditions, the Biden administration is not working hard on Fogel’s release as it did with Griner. That is because he does not the fill intersectional boxes that Griner does. He has the misfortune to be a white, normal male who is not famous.

Like Griner, his crime is related to marijuana. He was in possession of about 17 grams of medicinal marijuana used to battle chronic spinal pain that has plagued him for decades. In Pennsylvania, that’s fine. In Russia, it resulted in drug possession and smuggling charges.

Fogel is 61, 30 years older than Griner. He doesn’t tower over the guards even if cameras were trained on him. But he is a teacher, not a basketball star, so cameras were never really a factor (Trib live. U.S. should).

If Fogel were to be released, he would go back to the meaningful job of a teacher. But what will Griner do now that she is home? She will go back to her incredibly meaningless job of dribbling a basketball.

Griner’s Hatred for American vs. a US Marine

Griner will probably also go back to displaying her hatred for America. She had previously called for the National Anthem to not be played before WNBA games and stayed in the locker room when it was played. Former President Donald Trump had it correct when he posted the following on his Truth Social site:

What kind of a deal is it to swap Brittney Griner, a basketball player who openly hates our Country, for the man known as “The Merchant of Death,” who is one of the biggest arms dealers anywhere in the World, and responsible for tens of thousands of deaths and horrific injuries. Why wasn’t former Marine Paul Whelan included in this totally one-sided transaction? He would have been let out for the asking. What a “stupid” and unpatriotic embarrassment for the USA!!!

Most conservatives are focusing on Paul Whelan, since he is an US Marine and has been held in Russia for four years. But I am focusing on Fogel, as the cases are closer, with both being held on the same charge, and he is from my home area.

But it must be noted, the Biden administration is claiming their option was Bout for Griner or no one. They are saying a swap for Whelan was not on the table. However, NBC News initially reported the deal on the table was Griner or Whelan or no one. That was based on a source in the White House. But after Biden came out and claimed it was Griner or no one, NBC changed their article to that claim, with no explanation as to why.

Briner and Biden Promoting the Sin of Homosexuality

That said, back to what else Griner will do now that she is back in the States. She will go back to promoting the sin of homosexuality. And Biden knew that. In fact, his Press Secretary, also a black lesbian, made this very point. She said the reason Griner was brought back was so that she could be an “inspiration” to others. That “inspiration” will be to deceive many young people into thinking homosexual sex is perfectly normal, when in fact it is an affront before a holy and righteous God. That homosexual sex is sin is demonstrated in my two-volume set God’s Sex Plan.

But American has gotten so far from God’s sex plan that on the same day as Griner’s release, the US House passed the (Dis)Respect for Marriage Act. I will cover that most-named of all bills in-depth in my forthcoming follow up books to my two-volume set on Biden’s failing Presidency.

But here, I hope and pray I am wrong about Griner. Maybe being mistreated by Russia will open her eyes, and she will realize America is not so bad after all; but in fact, it is the greatest nation on earth. Maybe that will lead her to stand proudly for the National Anthem and proclaim the greatness of America.

But most of all, I will pray God opens her heart and leads her to repent of her sins, not just of her homosexuality, but of all of her sins that we all also commit, and she trusts in Christ for her forgiveness and salvation. If she then becomes an ambassador for Christ and His ability to deliver people from sinful lifestyles, then her release won’t be so bad after all. That forgiveness, deliverance, and salvation is open to not just other homosexuals but to all of us, as we have sinned and stand in need of forgiveness.

Bible Verses

²⁶Because of this, God gave them over to dishonorable, lustful passions, for even their females exchanged the natural use for the [use] against nature, ²⁷and likewise also the males having left the natural use of the female were inflamed in their craving for one another; males with males committing shameful behavior and receiving back in themselves the requital which was fitting [for] their deception [or, perversion]. (Romans 1:26-27).

²³For all sinned and fall short of the glory of God, ²⁴being justified [or, declared righteous] freely by His grace through the redemption [or, setting free], the [one] in Christ Jesus, ²⁵whom God Himself put forward publicly [as] a mercy seat [or, propitiation] through faith in His blood, for a demonstration of His righteousness, because of the passing over of the sins having previously occurred, ²⁶in the tolerance of God, for a demonstration of His righteousness in the present time, for Him to be righteous and justifying the [person] [or, declaring the [person] righteous] [who has] faith in Jesus (Romans 3:23-26).

⁹You* know that unrighteous [persons] will not inherit [the] kingdom of God, do you* not? Stop being led astray [fig., being deceived]; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor passive partners in male-male sex [or, effeminate men], nor active partners in male-male sex, ¹⁰nor covetous [persons], nor thieves, nor drunkards, nor slanderers [or, abusive persons], nor swindlers will inherit [the] kingdom of God.

¹¹And these some [of] you* were! [or, And such were some of you*!] But you* yourselves were washed [fig., purified], but you* were sanctified, but you* were justified [or, declared righteous] in the name of the Lord Jesus and in [or, by] the Spirit of our God! (1Corinthians 6:9-11).

⁸If we should say [or, claim], “We do not have sin,” we lead ourselves astray [fig., deceive ourselves], and the truth is not in us. ⁹If we shall be confessing our sins, He is faithful [or, trustworthy] and righteous that He shall forgive us our sins and cleanse [or, purge] us from all unrighteousness. ¹⁰If we should say [or, claim], “We have not sinned,” we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us. (1John 1:8-10)
