The Elite’s Great Reset OR the Great Spiritual Reset?

While most Americans put their faith in their their “king” (21st century equivalent – government “democracy”), there is an underlying aspect that eludes most people as they deal with the “crisis” of their lifetime (or so the media spins it as such). Most Americans have been ‘schooled’ into thinking that their government will keep them safe, and those that control the political puppets that the masses see, desire a way out of this global financial dead-end via a Great Reset.

However, Chuck Baldwin’s article calls into question whether this is a Great Reset OR a Great Spiritual Reset and concludes with this thought:

As long as Christians look to government organizations (America’s corporate “churches”), the longer it will take for God to bring spiritual restoration to our land.

The pulpits and churches of Colonial America—the churches and pulpits that led the colonies in a mighty awakening of both faith and freedom—were pulpits and churches that were unencumbered and unfettered with the chains of government dictation.

Before God can again raise up that courageous, independent voice, He must bury the rotting corpse of the enslaved, silent skeleton of these government organizations, formerly known as churches.

Yes, the Covid conspiracy has all but crushed the work ethic in this country. But this—as with everything associated with the phony Covid narrative—could not have happened had not the pulpits in this country abandoned the fearless, uncompromising preaching of God’s Holy Word.

But faint not, dear Christian friend: The great spiritual reset has begun.

Scary but exciting time to be alive, no? I would only add that the preaching of God’s Word needs to be accompanied by Jesus’ true followers loving others enough to share their hearts with those around them, to share how their relationship with their Creator gives them peace in the midst of the storm.

Hang on y’all .. surf’s up .. be wise as serpents and harmless as doves!

USSA – How Long Has the USA Been Underway in its Socialism/Sovietism?

Just because we are seeing these things out in the open (finally) in the 2020s should not mean that they have not been here (but hidden better) in the previous years and decades in the USA.

Today, in 2021, everyone that can critically think should be able to see that the USA’s Sovietism has progressed to include at least ten key Soviet attributes. [from https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/are-americans-becoming-sovietized ]

For example, below is #4 in this list:

4. The Soviet educational system sought not to enlighten but to indoctrinate young minds in proper government-approved thought.

Currently, cash-strapped universities nationwide are hiring thousands of diversity, equity, and inclusion staffers and administrators. Their chief task is to scan the admissions, hiring, curriculum, and administration at universities. Like good commissars, our diversity czars oversee compliance with the official narrative that a flawed America must confess, apologize for, and renounce its evil foundations.

If you have not seen this attribute in action lately, you must be living under a rock .. or on your own 160 acres somewhere off-grid .. if so, bless you. I am jealous!

The other nine are impressive, so visit the article above that starts out with this as their numero uno:

1. There was no escape from ideological indoctrination—anywhere. A job in the bureaucracy or a military assignment hinged not so much on merit, expertise, or past achievement. What mattered was loud enthusiasm for the Soviet system.

Wokeness is becoming our new Soviet-like state religion. Careerists assert that America was always and still is a systemically racist country, without ever producing proof or a sustained argument.

This transition did not start with Obama, or with FDR, or Wilson, or Lincoln .. it came this way starting way back in the late 1700s when the 13 independent colonies suddenly lost their nerve and decided they needed a leader, like a king only different.

They all knew their Bibles and KNEW of what God had warned the Israelites with they asked for a king ( 1 Samuel 8:10-18 ):

Samuel told all the words of the Lord to the people who were asking him for a king. He said, “This is what the king who will reign over you will claim as his rights: He will take your sons and make them serve with his chariots and horses, and they will run in front of his chariots. Some he will assign to be commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and others to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and still others to make weapons of war and equipment for his chariots. He will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers. He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive groves and give them to his attendants. He will take a tenth of your grain and of your vintage and give it to his officials and attendants. Your male and female servants and the best of your cattle and donkeys he will take for his own use. He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his slaves. When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, but the Lord will not answer you in that day.”

Feeling like slaves yet?

Well, this dependence on a king seems embedded in our DNA, as a majority of the people, the mobs, cry for someone to tell them what to do and keep them safe.

I like how Gary Barnett (writing on Lew Rockwell’s site) calls into question the “Very Notion of ‘Leadership’“:

Leadership? What a curious term for any intelligent man to utter. How many times throughout my life have I listened to the masses clamoring for someone to lead them? Actually, the most prevalent attitude amongst the people is a desire to find the best ‘leader,’ and the epitome of this phenomenon is the ludicrous idea of voting. This process is continuous, and stretches from the heights of the presidency to the choosing of the local dogcatcher. It seems that the quest of men is to not rely on their best judgment or even on their moral beliefs, but to seek out others to follow instead of trusting self. This dilemma has caused much harm, and allowed for the worst among us to control the human narrative.

Can you argue with Gary on this one? As Kevin in ‘Home Alone’ would say:

I don’t think so

Gary continues to outline how this happened in the thirteen former British Colonies after the 1783 Paris Peace Treaty was signed:

Since the beginning of this country, or more accurately, the beginning of the end of this country, that time when the political class came up with a ruling document called the Constitution, ownership of the people by a governing body has been the prevailing state of existence. Throughout our history, this has become more evident with every passing administration. And what has been the people’s only recourse? They have been allowed by their rulers to pick a new pre-selected master (leader) every four years. They always get the ‘leader’ they so desire and deserve, and to this day, this process of voting, the epitome of absurdity, continues without question. Given this scheme, is it any wonder that a fake virus pandemic has brought this country to its knees?

Slaves/sheep that chose their bondage deserve to be on their knees. This seems to be the sad default of the mad masses that call “America” their home.

The more things change, the more things stay the same.

Make no mistake about it; looking for leaders can only assure defeat. Each and every person needs to become his own leader, his own ruler, and needs to stand on his own two feet. With progress in that direction, the fake ‘leaders’ can be eliminated, one by one, and then some semblance of freedom can be restored.

“Anarchism, to me, means not only the denial of authority, not only a new economy, but a revision of the principles of morality. It means the development of the individual as well as the assertion of the individual. It means self-responsibility, and not leader worship.”

~ Voltairine de Cleyre (2012). “Exquisite Rebel: The Essays of Voltairine de Cleyre — Anarchist, Feminist, Genius”, p.156, SUNY Press

Self responsibility is the key characteristic that needs to be passed from generation to generation.

Know Your Enemy – Roman Empire & British Empire –> American Empire

Roman Empire – Religion (Pharisee) 1st Century power/control partnership (the state)

I was not always aware of the entity that sees me as the enemy. I did not one day just decide that it was my enemy. Over my six decades I have seen more clearly what was hidden by those with evil intentions. Evil prides itself as being seen as a friend, providing benefits even if they have to rob someone else to achieve that. This entity has no ethics, no principles and is selfish to its core. This enemy is the state.

In my youth I knew of this entity, and saw how it dealt with those that would not bow down to it (i.e. JFK assassination in 1963). I saw how corrupt this entity was that sent tens of thousands of young men to Vietnam based on lies that it told (i.e. the domino theory of Communism and the Gulf of Tonkin incident) and following this the details laid bare by the Church Commission in the mid-1970s that showed to the people just a tip of the iceberg called government corruption.

In spite of this I joined the US Navy when the 1960s policy of Affirmative Action made college aid non-attainable. For over six years I learned the inside of one arm of the state, the military-industrial complex and the federal government itself. I then understood how the US Postal Service, Amtrak and other government entities could never become “customer-centric” and would always soak the taxpayer as it ran services in the most inefficient and ineffective ways. Yet, I thought that this disease had not spread to other areas of government “safety-nets” like Social Security and Medicare, but I was wrong.

By the 2000s, with the War on Terror effort to scare Americans into a new world order and the 9/11 Commission’s inability to come to grips with the real truth behind the scenes, I finally saw things coming together. I saw and understood how other nations like Iraq, Iran, Libya and Syria are treated by the American Empire, like 2nd class citizens of the world that could be made into refugees as their communities, societies and nations were destroyed based on lies.

Domestically, the Federal Reserve helps to make self-sufficiency and saving money impossible with the constant printing of money to offset the government’s spending of trillions of dollars with no thoughts towards honoring their debts to the Military-Industrial Complex’s effort to ensure their pockets get filled in the years of potential peace after the Cold War, the people of the United States are viewed as tax cattle OR more appropriately in 2020/2021 called tax sheep (slaves) that can be scared into total submission and total slavery in this new era of bio-terrorism.

The 2019 Event 201 / Covid-19 Plan-n-Case-demic PLUS the Great Reset has been Coup d’tat 9.0 in this nation’s history. (The US Constitution in 1787 was Coup d’tat 1.0) The peak of freedom and liberty actually being enjoyed by the pioneers that escaped Europe mainly in the mid-1700s for the British American colonies. The relative minor clampdown on these liberties with the Stamp Act, Sugar Act and the like triggered the common man (men and women and children) to see the British Empire as their enemy. The entity of the state had made itself known from the Egyptians to the Greek and Romans and then matured (sarcasm) into the modern state where monarchy (royalty and religion) ruled. Sure there were alternative efforts that reduced the state’s direct control of their populations by the Dutch Republics from 1550s-1750s approximately as well as the Swiss Confederation of cantons. But the majority structure to control the masses was the king.

It was in this context that American colonists attempted to create a novel solution to what they had seen go bad in every monarchy. In each American colony there were micro-efforts that preceded the Declaration of Independence and the Articles of Confederation. A federated republic were words that mattered, and carried with it an idea that government needed to SERVE the people wisely in the limited areas that they were chained down to.

In order to understand the enemy, even one that is chained down, requires understanding the birth of the state (no, the state is not eternal, it neither was historically always there, nor will it live forever) as well as the health of the state.

In search of understanding my enemy (which my own government has declared blatantly over the past year or so) I have started reading a book ( Chaining Down Leviathan) authored by a European that targets a thorough review of the attempt to chain down the state here in America from 1776-1865.

This is a study of American political thought between the secession from Britain and the War Between the States. This period was a struggle between the Jeffersonian and the Hamiltonian visions of America. The Jeffersonians favored a highly decentralized federation of sovereign states, whereas the Hamiltonians favored a highly centralized state with a veto on state legislation. This sort of polity has been called “the modern state,” which was a creation of European monarchs. When the monarchies were overthrown, it took on the form of mass democracy and national elections, both of which greatly expanded central power beyond anything the monarchs could have imagined.

When Britain tried to incorporate the colonies into a British version of  the modern state, they resisted and won their independence. Most of the founders did not want an American version of the same planted in America. But some did. Hamilton and others seceded from Britain not because they opposed the modern state, but because they wanted to create an American version and govern it themselves. They failed. The Jeffersonians, though contested, dominated from 1776 to 1861. Lincoln inherited this Hamiltonian tradition and launched an invasion of the South, not to free slaves, but to prevent secession and securely plant a modern style European state in America where none had existed before.

In the balance of my years I desire to know my enemy so I can prepare myself, my family and my friends for the road ahead. We need many more wise students of history to take of the research necessary to help us all understand not only what the colonists faced with the British Empire in the 1770s but also what Jesus-followers faced with the Roman Empire in the 1st century.

Hope for liberty and freedom is an idea that has never been needed more than now in today’s American Empire. Keep the flame alive for the next generations!

PS A possible companion book to this more historical one is a recent publication that deals with Coup d’tat 9.0 called The Truth About Covid-19: Exposing the Great Reset, Lockdowns, Vaccine Passports and the New Normal.

Since early 2020, the world has experienced a series of catastrophic events―a global pandemic caused by what appears to be an engineered coronavirus; international lockdowns and border closings causing widespread business closures, economic collapse, and massive unemployment; and an unprecedented curtailment of civil liberties and freedoms in the name of keeping people safe by locking them up in their homes.

We are now living in a world that is increasingly ruled, not by our democratic systems and institutions, but by public health fiat, carried out by politicians who rule by instilling fear and panic.

In The Truth About COVID-19, Dr. Mercola and Cummins reveal new and emerging evidence that:

  • The SARS-CoV-2 virus was, indeed, lab-engineered and emerged from a negligently managed bioweapons lab in Wuhan, China
  • The global pandemic was long anticipated by global elites who have used it to facilitate and hide the largest upward transfer of wealth in human history
  • PCR testing, case counts, morbidity, and vaccine safety and efficacy data have been widely manipulated and misrepresented
  • Obesity, diabetes, and heart disease are known to worsen COVID-19 outcomes, but the junk food industry continues to push its agenda at the expense of public health
  • Safe, simple, and inexpensive treatment and prevention for COVID-19 have been censored and suppressed to create a clear path for vaccine acceptance
  • Effectiveness of the vaccines has been wildly exaggerated and major safety questions have gone unanswered

The good news in all of this is that we can take control of our health and that, together, we have the power to unite and fight back for our health, democracy, and freedom.

No matter how accurate you think Dr. Mercola and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are in their research, there is bound to be a lot of information that is spot on. Their distrust of the state is not just a way they gain popularity, believe me, being a proclaimed enemy of the state is not the easy way forward, but a required one for those whose hearts are burdened for the generations that follow. In this regard, these two men have indeed “stayed the course”.

Be like these men and rise to the challenge to do the same!

 

Democrat’s Blind-spot is Facts, GOP’s Blind-spot is Emotion on This One – Nanny State Over-reach

The one US political party, including both wings, gets various national topics so wrong almost 100% of the time whether it is the economy, foreign policy OR their favorite one to argue over, the nanny/police state.

As David Stockman points out clearly in his article “Triumph of the Woke Mob Led By Two Doddering Old Fools” …

Nanny State over-reach was the underlying cause of George Floyd’s arrest and  unjust death—just as it is the source of most of America’s unfortunate violence between  police and unarmed citizens, back, white and otherwise.

The facts of ‘racism’ NOT causing all this doesn’t deter the Democrats since it has been an effective rallying cry and the GOP remains stuck in the religious fervor around the blue-line’s effort in the War on Drugs/People overreach. In fact, the blow-back of each wing’s push just intensifies the whole conflict with disrespects the people while triggering the masses to back the state in whatever solutions they come up with. It is a sick cycle  that sees the poor, disadvantaged and unarmed at the mercy of the state.

Needless to say, the George Floyd case was not an aberration. During the recent past  there were 38 such police killings of unarmed black citizens in 2015, and then 19, 21,  17 and 9 during 2016 through 2019, respectively. That’s 104 black lives lost to the  ultimate abuse of police powers.

Of course, the number should be zero police killings of unarmed citizens. There is no  conceivable excuse for heavily armed cops—-usually working in pairs or groups—to  cause the death of lone, unarmed civilians, regardless of race or anything else.

Unarmed seems to still unnerve the state-empowered police effort, however, it gets even more ridiculous when one learns the REASON the police were involved:

.. the Minneapolis police officers originally attempted to put George Floyd  safely in the back seat of a squad car after his arrest for the petty crime of attempting to  pass a counterfeit $20 bill, but he resisted them intensely for up to five minutes .. Floyd’s death was due to an arrest which shouldn’t have happened and bad police  behavior that has nothing to do with race.

Yup. the Left’s “it’s because he’s black” doesn’t stick here and the GOP’s “he should just bow to the Redcoats and the crown” doesn’t either. This “crime” is outside the scope of the police, as it was the store’s issue to deal with as there was zero threat of violence from this man towards others and towards the Redcoats.

During the same five-year period in which 104 black lives were lost, a total of 127  unarmed white lives were wasted by the police, as well. That included 32 white  killings in 2015 followed by 22, 31, 23 and 19 in 2016 through 2019, respectively.

Overall, 302 unarmed citizens were killed by the police during those five years, with  the balance accounted for by 71 deaths among Hispanic and other victims. That is, the  real issue is illegal and excessive police violence, not racial victimization.

Indeed, the fact that 34% of these police killings involved black citizens compared to  their 13% share of the population is not primarily a sign of racism among police forces,  although it is continuously construed to be.

It’s actually evidence that the Nanny State, and especially the misbegotten War on  Drugs, is designed to unnecessarily ensnare a distinct demographic— young, poor, often  unemployed urban citizens— in confrontations with the cops, too many of which  become fatal.

Alas, young black males are disproportionately represented among this particular in harms’-way demographic, and that’s the reason they are “disproportionately”  represented in the 302 cases cited above.

White lives matter too, so the facts seem to suggest a “wrong place at a wrong time” situation here as the police only target the part of town that has a lot of young, poor and unemployed.  Amazingly, getting anyone hopped up on power can easily expand the scope of involvement of the Redcoats in the area, not content with solving REAL crime, they focus on low-hanging fruit just like a deputized HOA Karen does:

But I digress.

.. statism in the sphere of law and order is every bit as dysfunctional as it is  in the realm of economics, yet neither conservatives nor progressives recognize it.

The US political system loves dysfunction, because it creates more “business” for itself.

It was at this point in the article I thought this was a summary, but as it turns out, David Stockman does straight into the data after offering this synopsis:

Conservatives want way too much law and police empowerment in the service of cultural  norms that are none of the state’s damn business in the first place; and progressives  confuse the often brutal and unjust over-reach of law enforcement agencies as a  manifestation of racism, when it is actually just policing expectorations in behalf of  inappropriate missions such as the enforcement of drug laws.

The data is revealing for the Nanny State’s real impact on the people, it is deathly.

  1. George Floyd’s fatal arrest for  allegedly passing a counterfeit $20 bill; Eric Garner (NYC 2014), subdual for selling un-taxed cigarettes; Rayshard Brooks for falling asleep drunk in his car at a subsequently  incinerated Wendy’s in Atlanta; and Breonna Taylor of Louisville for being awake in her  own apartment at 1:30 AM when police barged in with guns blaring in a drug  enforcement raid. 
  2. In  the most recent year of complete data (2018), there were 9.3 million arrests in the US  excluding traffic enforcement charges of DUI. Yet among this massive number of arrests, those involving serious crimes against persons and property accounted for just  521,000 or 5.6%. These included:  Negligent murder and manslaughter: 11,970;  Rape: 25,205;  Armed robbery: 88,128;  Aggravated assault: 395,800;  That’s it. That’s the contribution to core public safety delivered by the 850,000 sworn  law enforcement officers in the USA—about 0.6 arrests per year for serious crimes per  law enforcement officer. 

  3. the single largest category of arrests in 2018 was for drug abuse violations,  which totaled 1,654,282. In fact, while total arrests for all crimes in 2018 were no higher than they were in 1977  despite a 100 million/50% growth in the US population, and had actually dropped from  a peak of nearly 13 million in 2006, the opposite trend was extant in the case of the  nation’s misbegotten War on Drugs arrests.  As shown by the chart below, drug arrests in 2018 were nearly at peak levels and were  up by more than 171% since 1977—the vast majority of which are made for drug  possession generally, and marijuana possession most often.

  4. the next largest arrest category after drugs is one called “other  assaults” for which 1,063,535 arrests were made in 2018. Yet the FBI’s own definitions  raise considerable doubts as to why these are even a proper matter for law enforcement  by the state:

    Other assaults (simple)―Assaults and attempted assaults where no  weapon was used or no serious or aggravated injury resulted to the  victim. Stalking, intimidation, coercion, and hazing are included.

  5. Next category we have all the victimless and vice crimes, including the following  number of arrests:  Prostitution and commercialized vice: 31,147; Sex offenses excluding rape and prostitution: 46,937;  Gambling: 3,323;  Liquor law offenses: 173,152;  Curfew and loitering law violations: 22,031;  Vagrancy: 23,546;  Public drunkenness: 328,772;  Disorderly conduct: 329,152;  Forgery and counterfeiting: 50,072;  Weapons carrying and possession: 168,403;  All other offenses: 3,231,700. The latter huge number tells you all you need to know. The UCR lists 27 enumerated  categories of crime including all of those itemized above yet when  the whole lists is exhausted, 32% of arrests occurred for crimes that are so minor even  the FBI is embarrassed to enumerate them!

Nothing like majoring in the minors! But I guess that is what “pays the bills”, Redcoats extracting loot from the people. Some things never change and government will never be your savior from this evil and broken world.

Ya think? Lord Acton was spot on!

The masses seem to believe there are only two options in decision-making, which is why the US political-complex limits itself to GOP and Democrats. Yet there is a third option, a road much less traveled. This is a path that reduces one’s dependency on the Nanny State and takes life underground.

Something to think about right?

The Hand-off Between Generations – More Important than You Think!

There are a lot of important decisions made in life, but none more important than the legacy that is handed to the next generation. Looking back is 20/20 or so, and we can see major drops of the batons between generations, even during a generation when it came to the American Revolution. Many of the founding generation flipped to the controlling side once they were in power, no more was liberty and freedom numero uno but it became safety.

So in the late 1800s when the state made even more inroads into raising children under the state’s control. Big business saw the opportunity to make great factory workers who could be trained in the collective and then could work well in the obedient collective. As John Taylor Gatto said in his book The Underground History of American Education :

Government schooling is the most radical adventure in history. It kills the family by monopolizing the best times of childhood and by teaching disrespect for home and parents.

State control means everyone learns at the same pace, but look at the COST that places on the very treasures (our kids) have to endure, the unintended consequences of good intentions:

David learns to read at age four; Rachel, at age nine: In normal development, when both are 13, you can’t tell which one learned first—the five-year spread means nothing at all. But in school I label Rachel “learning disabled” and slow David down a bit, too. For a paycheck, I adjust David to depend on me to tell him when to go and stop. He won’t outgrow that dependency. I identify Rachel as discount merchandise, “special education” fodder. She’ll be locked in her place forever.

These words were all written well before the 2020 entrance of an effort to mask the healthy, and especially the kids. Below are excerpts from Allan Stevo’s article “Allan Stevo’s Blatant Lie” from Lew Rockwell’s site.

What a blessing a father like that is in a child’s life. So few are like that. A daughter of a father like that will have a head start over nearly any peer, a head start that no amount of treasure left as inheritance can match. There are haves and have nots in this world. The greatest haves of the next generation will come from those children whose parents were not cowardly after the Ides of March 2020, but who were diligent about their values, rather than flexible or apathetic.

Not everyone gets to be born into a family like that. Those who do will have an advantage that money simply can’t buy.

A full-court press is on by the state and the mask is the gateway drug towards other mechanisms of state and ruling elite control measures. While it sounds hopeless, do know that regimes can fall overnight .. but it might take 4 weeks, 4 years or 40 years to get to that night!

.. in the institution of family, we have parents who have relied on the same truths they knew five years ago. A media narrative doesn’t change the truth. The cowardly deserve so little attention. The brave deserve our full attention, our praise, and our emulation, not our denial of the important battle they wage on the behalf of their family, their crew, their community, but also, whether they realize it or not, a battle they wage on the behalf of all humanity.

The brave have gotten us through this tough time and the brave will secure us victory. Anyone on the sidelines, anyone who puts on a mask accomplishes the very opposite.

Be wise as serpents in this. Do your own research into the psychologically, sociologically and so biologically harmful effects of masks to the wearer. The jury is still out on the harmful effects of the so-called vaccines.

We, as individuals, cause a great burden upon others around us when we do not stand up for what is right.

And it’s not just about saying no to a mask every chance you can. It’s about saying no to everything that does not edify and to do it every chance you can. The mask is a gateway, the mask is training ground, and the mask is a symbol for so much more.

If society cannot support the raising of strong, independent, moral, and capable children, then society sabotages itself and calls into question why man even has reason to interact with society, at least if his highest aim, as is the aim for most righteous adults, is to create a home, build a family, and raise a child into adulthood. Hardly are there more important pursuits in life. All else is mere hedonism, argues one contemporary Greek philosopher.

Any pursuit that chips away at family or makes it harder for a parent to protect family brings us closer to the awful abyss where the Faucis of the world seek to lead us.

How many people are obediently following the Faucis, how many people who claim to stand for liberty are following the greatest enemies of liberty?

I do not expect liberals to recognize this. Nor do I expect sheeplike people to recognize this.

I contend that it is the family (and the invisible part of the church that has not bowed down to Caesar) that is the last hope alive for the next season of this nation’s path through totalitarian waters.

Hang on to God, hang on to each other .. the surf’s up dude!
