Wow. The festering, malodorous swamp of evil and sorcery-laden vitriol will NOW begin to get drained! Last night, I watched with some trepidation, even filled with doubt, in hopes that it could or would happen; That Trump would WIN the 2016 election in the US of A. In answer to my prayers (and SO many others'), it did indeed occur. A sigh of relief went up with prayer and thanks for another chance--a reprieve...
Amazing how he managed to pull it off, despite all the negativity, the deceptions, the propagandists' rigged 'polls' and commentary, and outright LIES. Surely, the landslide overcame any credible attempts to obfuscate or machinate the propagandists' deceptions. Surely, they put in their best of evil intents and efforts to offset Truth and the awakening reality--but they failed! SURELY, THERE WERE MANY AN INCANTATION AND SATANIC BLOOD SACRIFICES THAT FAILED. The widespread mantle of sorcery and evil intents has been lifted, if but for a short time, in order that we might prove ourselves, or to be refined by the fires of trial.
What a blessing, and what an answer to countless prayers for sparing this undeserving nation from the vile changes in direction, and abominations that have in recent past been embraced. Forgive us, o Father, and help us to turn away from our ways, and back towards You and your Way. Thank You for this opportunity to repent in mind and in deed--for the reprieve we don't deserve, by your grace! Bless us, Father, and help us to see & hear your Word, and to follow your Way, to restore the breach, that your face might shine upon us once more. Amen!
It is a time to celebrate, yes, but for a short time. Now is the time for all GOOD men (& women) to come to the aid of their country, and for humanity itself. We have won a brief victory, not insignificant, but also merely ONE battle in a greater war. It ain't over yet. We must now band together and ACT to push the advantage and actually DO start draining the 'swamp'. We cannot, or MUST NOT sit on our laurels henceforth; instead, we must RISE UP TO THE OCCASION and grasp the opportunity given to us by our Almighty Father, to do His will, and turn this nation, and our peoples, around. Time to repent, as people and AS A NATION.
No longer can we tolerate the many and various evils now widely accepted and promoted. We must strive to bring honor and HONESTY, and real JUSTICE back to our land. The crony corporate whoredom and the Jezebel spirits must be brought DOWN. THE POISONING OF THE MINDS, BODIES AND SPIRITS OF OUR PEOPLES MUST BE ENDED--No more GMOs, rampant pesticides and chem-trailing, and all such. WE MUST ELIMINATE THE EVIL GLOBALIST INFLUENCES! They are the source of the sorceries--the evil(--the pharmakeia...see Strong's)
*Killed* By Convenience? Foods, Frequencies, and Pharmakeia (p2)
The work is just getting started, and the Awakening just begun. So many realizations and revelations about the depths of our depravity have surfaced in the near past. So many bizarre agendas and seemingly insane DOUBLETHINK schemes & memes exposed. May we be blessed with discernment and eyes to see--ears to hear--our true master's voice. Congratulations, America! Amen!
ASE#1: Science = Replacement Theology & Beast Control System:
(https://youtu.be/tNwG98fLqLo)
This video forms the bases or premises of my 'All-Seeing Eye' series (or mini-series, as it were) exposing the Beast system, a replacement or extension of the outmoded RCC (Roman Catholic Church) surveillance & control system. It also serves as a Bio-Warfare system, and as part of the globalists' propaganda/brainwashing/MC (mind control) platform Multitasking!
*The dangers inherent to these systems are not generally recognized by the public-at-large...but are well-conditioned to accept those influences through the elevation of 'tech', and 'Science' itself, as a modern equivalent to 'Religion'. Unfortunately, people have come to think that 'religion' is a good thing, but that is a topic left to another video...Despite the failings of so-called 'religion', it is seen as THE way to know and understand the Father, the Creator, or whatever one might envision as one’s 'higher power'. Regardless, the purpose, intent, and de facto 'religion' of 'Science' as mediator of the 'new morality' is pervasive and ubiquitous. It is fully accomplished, despite what one might think or believe. (it's kind of like people still think the USA is a 'democratic-republic')
*Yes. Science is a 'replacement/substitution theology', having been implemented across successive generations; sadly, the plan seems to have been successful. It's not about eliminating religion,per se; it's about corrupting and replacing it, &/or the knowledge or acceptance of the concept—the Truth—of the Father (YaHuWaH, Yahweh, aka ‘G_d’)—with incompatible beliefs and ideas. Such ideas &/or belief systems preclude incorporation of TRUE theology and wisdom. This, in turn, precludes a just and righteous morality, and the peaceful coexistence of Mankind’s various factions. The end result is that we don't know, and CAN'T know the Father (YaHuWaH, Yahweh, aka ‘G_d’), and we remain in constant chaos , corruption, and conflict with our brothers & sisters…We are serving a different ‘G_d’.
*The end result is therefore that rulers & the principalities (TPTB) who control the ways of the world have succeeded in replacing 'religion' and the Father, with their counterfeit, by insidious design and deceit, in which Man now looks to 'science', and technology for their salvation--even their thoughts of 'eternal life', through technology (e.g., trans-humanism/robotics/etc). This is generally true of the vast majority of people, even among those deceived to believe that they are ‘saved’, or ‘christians’, or ‘religious’.
*As a rule, it should be understood, and generally accepted, that WE ARE ALL DECEIVED, and that nothing one has previously accepted as ’truth’, is anything remotely related to the Truth spoken of in scriptures (Torah, Bible, etc). The gap between beliefs and reality is too large to span. However, despite implications for true salvation and spiritual issues, there are real-life, immediate implications of a corporeal nature. The truth is that ‘they’ (TPTB) have been planning a glorious sacrificial genocide of the vast majority of those deceived—the ‘unworthy’—YOU. You, and me, and all these deceived people fail to understand that WE are targeted for termination--for elimination and genocide--by the very technology many see as their potential 'savior'.
*Alas, the technology of the world will convey virtual devastation to the enslaved masses of today, allowing ever-greater profit of the minions who worship satanic and carnal (worldly) things, and themselves. At the same time, the peasantry, or enslaved wage/debt slaves of today, will become 'redundant', and will lose the very sense of worth and of 'self' projected upon them by and through their enslavement; they will become jobless, and hopeless, and fully dependent upon the Beast for day-to-day sustenance. Being redundant, we shall see a rapid and marked increase of the slow-kill-slow genocide of sterilant chemicals, per ongoing systems (food/water/containers) and a continuity of poisoning of the environment through chemicals, radiations, and genetic pollutions--the current trends of the decay world-wide. Hardly anyone will notice until it is too late...As in the Days of Noah, on CRACK!
*We, as a consumer-driven society, are rapidly devolving into the web of a new enslavement, bound by dependency to the all-seeing Beast one might call 'government', but it will truly BE 'the' One-World government system. The control & monitoring structures are complete; the militarization of 'police' is complete, and the sheep have given up all their 'rights' by implicit acceptance of conditions without action or protest.It makes no difference which 'party' you think you place in power--they are all as one hive mind at the 'top’…Increasing propaganda and brain-training through social & political policies will ramp up, further decreasing the viability or desirability of former institutions such as marriage and family. Wars will be incited, and many deceiving devices will be used to foment death and civil unrest, such that the 'puppet-masters' can clamp down the martial law system and publicly usher in the new age--of the Beast...
Welcome to the New World, the New Way, the New Day, Mr. & Mrs. Redundant.
Over the past few months, there seems to have been an escalating number of what appears to be totally absurd, even unbelievable, statements and actions originating from our central government (and related minions). Myriad treasonous (and blatantly unconstitutional) proposals, legislations, press releases, leaked emails, statements, commentary, and activities can be attributed to the mainstream media (MSM), Congress, the Obama administration, and the various ‘alphabet’ agencies (CIA, FBI, DHS, DoJ, and so on).
‘They’ have certainly gone ‘over-the-top’ with regard to labeling or targeting everyday Americans—damn near the majority of us—in their newest version of the ‘war on terror’. Yup, it’s focus is now ‘Joe Sixpack’, and, frankly, just about everyone else who doesn’t agree with their insane socialist-globalist agenda. This new policy is so extreme, and bizarre, that it defies logic; frankly, it’s rather scary to think that it really can happen here.
Although this has apparently been an ongoing process, more recently the escalation process seemed to start with the gun-grabbing assault on the second amendment (2A) following the unfortunate events at Sandy Hook. Henceforth, there has been an increasingly aggressive assault on our constitutional—inalienable—rights, as well as upon logical thought and reasonable action. OK; most everyone recognizes the lefties are pro-socialist drones, brainwashed by globalist propaganda for generations—but, insane? Absurd? That is, they seem to have been afflicted by some sort of mass-psychosis ‘event horizon’, and now it is just getting way past crazy; they have simply gone too far. It's like we all somehow got transported into the Bizzaro dimension.
One particular escalation [which prompted this article] is the patently absurd attribution of groups ‘They’ see as “extremists” or radicals, and/or those viewed as potential [so-called] ‘terrorists’. It started with the usual scapegoats; those groups that have been demonized in the past (eg., ‘right-wing’ militia groups, survivalists, etc.). However, over the past few months, such target groups have been replaced by the average American, the everyman, and even our veterans—those who fought to preserve our freedoms and our very way of life. This is truly insane! The (below) YouTube video goes a long way in explaining the scope of the madness:
Video uploaded by Infowars…"Is the Government Targeting Patriots & Christians?"
Yes, insanity has overcome the whole DC crowd, and all their cronies. That is, as explicated below, their ever-expanding list of ‘extremists’, and pseudo-terrorists now includes the majority of Americans. This is the crux of the conundrum; If the majority of Americans (yes, I’m included in there too) are ‘extremists’, then what does one call these accusers? It seems only logical to assert that ‘they’ are the ones who are extremists, not these groups of average American citizens. By definition, ‘extremist’ is defined as follows:
(Wikipedia definition)
“Extremism (represented on both sides of the political spectrum) is any ideology or political act far outside the perceived political center of a society; or otherwise claimed to violate common moral standards. In democratic societies, individuals or groups that advocate the replacement of democracy with an authoritarian regime are usually considered to be extremists; in authoritarian societies, people who espouse democratic or otherwise liberal ideals are labelled as extremists by the ruling class or government.”
As suggested, advocating authoritarian views and policies would be deemed extremist, in the USA. That is our current situation. Welcome to Amerika! Sieg Heil! It is ‘They’ who are outside the political center—they who are advocating the extremist policies. As far as being ‘way out there’ in the spectrum of social and political ideals, it is the ‘Bamanites’, and not their targeted population (We, the people).
What is certain is that, in general, the average American is not in favor of openly authoritarian rule, but is, instead, pro-freedom and pro-Constitution. Sure, many of us are highly brainwashed and pre-programmed by years of cradle-to-grave propaganda, even a lot of total sheep, but I don’t think we are willing participants in this takeover, as the administration leads us to believe (eg., the '90%+' want tougher gun regulation LIE)
************************************************
Let’s take a closer look at the [absurd] groups that they now claim are threats to the current regime*, and the huge numbers of everyday Americans these groups comprise:
[*note: see “Clickable References” below for sources, citations, and more information re: superscripted notations]
Religious “extremists”: No discrimination here…it’s just about everybody…(see Fig. 1a and 1b)
Christiansa:
Evangelical &/or any Christian “identity”
Catholics
Mormon (fundamentalist)
Jews(Orthodox, JDL, and others)
Islamists, Muslims of various sort, and some admittedly radical groups, like KKK, etc.
“Islamophobia” [ya, not really a religious group]
Figure 1a. Groups claimed to be ‘religious extremists’ in current US Army training aid.
Veteransb --mainly, I assume, Vietnam-era-onward but especially returning vets from Gulf area. That is, I doubt they fear WWII or Korean war vets, who are geriatric. This demonization of our veterans is particularly egregious and outrageous!
“Other” =Non-globalist/non-socialist ‘radicals’ and loosely-affiliated or unorganized groups: pro-Constitutionalists, pro-2A groups, conservatives, ‘liberty lovers’ or Libertarians, ‘patriots’, Tea Party members, tax protesters, Pro-lifers, any Independents or 3rd-party supporters, and any other so-called ‘anti-government’ political activists, or generally anyone who opposes government tyranny…AKA ‘right-wing extremists’
Anybody who has ever been treated or diagnosed with a DSM mental ‘disorder’e, which includes anxiety and/or depression. Vets are now receiving notices that they are deemed unfit for gun ownership [without due process], and urged or coerced into evaluations &/or illegal gun confiscations; this is a function of Medical or Psychiatric Tyranny
Unfortunately, what seems to be the trend in psychology, and especially psychiatry, is a desire to claim that normal variations in behavior and mood are somehow ‘disorders’, paired with an appropriate medication. This follows the ‘medical model’. However, the vast majority of these so-called disorders have no objective biological or genetic markers. They are simply arbitrary and subjective labels.
IMHO, it’s all about the big pharma-big psych money [$$]; I contend that the majority of ‘disorders’ are fairly common, transient, and self-resolving events. In fact, many ‘psychotropics’ are no more effective than placebo, in most cases. Also, such drugs have many dangerous side effects, some of which can even do lasting or permanent physiological harm. [note: The author does claim a degree of expertise in his opine, holding both a BA in psychology, and a MS in psychopharmacology]
The problem with both the labels and the ‘disease’ model is that now, your government wants to group and define you, and limit your rights, based upon such subjective criteria. It seems the administration is intent on using any prior diagnosis or treatment as proof of incapacity, without adjudication; a catch-all for even greater numbers of average citizens. Diagnosis or treatment is now so prevalent that a majority of people may be included in this ‘group’ at one time or another, at some point in their lifetime. In fact, ever-increasing numbers of our children are being diagnosed with psychiatric ‘disorders’ and treated with psychotropics. It’s getting way out of hand.
The various groups and populations listed above make up a majority of all Americans. For example, the sub-group ‘Christians’ make up nearly 80% of the population, just for starters. Although it would be difficult to separate these groups into discrete populations, because many people are members of two or more of groups, it is reasonable to assert that the addition of members of all the other (non-religious) groups would certainly add even more people to the list of ‘extremists’. Adding to that all the other persona non grata groups listed by the current regime, and masses of radical extremists could go over 90%. I think that it can safely be stated that 90%—or even 50%—of a population CANNOT BE CALLED EXTREMIST; we’re talking moderate, average, or everyday Americans here—the majority. WTH is wrong with these ‘bamanites? Are they simply insane? It seems as if they have all gone over-the-top.
The populations of these so-called ‘extremist’ groups makeup the majority of Americans. It is both irrational and illogical to assert that the majority of people are now somehow radicals—by any definition. Instead, the real extremists are government elites, propagandists and their (mainstream) media minions who support and purvey such crapola. These people need to be stopped—arrested, and maybe even institutionalized—they are evidently not thinking rationally, and have suffered a break with reality.
Q: Can we continue to allow certifiably-insane people to run our government, or to maintain control over our news and information, our money, our society or our national security?
A: --Hell, no!
Q: To Rob us of our God-given--inalienable--rights, &/or infringe upon our Constitutional rights?
I think that a majority of people just want to live their lives, and to be left alone (alas, poor sheeple). I concur, wholeheartedly. However, the problems we face now are the direct result of the "me-me" attitude, ignorance, and apathy. Many people just don't seem to 'get it'--they aren’t even aware of anything strange or sinister happening right now, because it doesn’t directly affect them.
The sheeple go about their compartmentalized lives, and watch their MSM news, while shoving GMO chips into their mouths, by the handfuls. They chomp and drool on their microwave platters, and mindlessly text what few friends they have, and go on to their mindless, compartmentalized jobs, day after day. They blindly go about their day-to-day, not realizing that there are a tiny minority of Banksters out there taking away the majority of their earnings via taxes paid to their minions in the government, while simultaneously lowering the value of what little he has left. They actually believe that paper is somehow “money”…
Poor, ignorant, trusting “Joe Sheeple”; he actually believes that there is a difference between Dems and Reps, and that his vote ‘counts’. He maintains a positive attitude regarding his gub’ment, and trusts that they are, deep-down, striving to benefit he and his fellow Americans. Police, the military, and ‘Homeland Security’ are there to “serve and protect”. There are no bullets. ‘They’ will never invoke the NDAA…whatever that is…
Poor Joe…He spends more time ‘farming’ on Farmville (™) than he does actual gardening in his yard. He actually believes all those food-like products, the chemical cleaners, and the personal care goods in the supermarket are tested, safe and/or nutritious—hey, the gub’ment wouldn’t allow food companies to poison us—would they? He has no backup food storage, and will begin the painful march to starvation, as soon as supermarket shelves are emptied, [following the false flag event-to-come]. He doesn’t even know what ‘SHTF’ means. He doesn’t believe in owning guns, and questions why anybody else would ‘need’ an ‘assault rifle, much less a high capacity ‘clip’...
However, even Joe Sheeple will soon wake up, once the ‘proverbial’ tipping point is reached—when things get really bad, and start affecting him and his; he too, will join in the fight against these insane globalist usurpers. We will have the numbers on our side. We have powerful liberty-loving hearts and minds that will overcome. If it comes to war, we will prevail, because we have ‘right’ and ‘good’ and yes, God, on our side—against Him, who could prevail?
*********************************************
Q: Has Washington somehow been infected by some kind of ‘insanity’ virus? Perhaps a strain of socialist-idiot pox? Maybe there is a new strain of an IQ-lowering bacteria in the water?[GMO?] WTH? Are the left-leaners eating a big [no, HUGE] box of Dumb-Ass for breakfast—everyday?
Maybe it’s a box of GMO Dumb-Ass…
(Blame that on Obama too; he maintains a constant assault on us via his Monsanto ‘food-fascism’ force.)
A: I don’t claim to know WTH-ever is happening to these yo-yos, and I don’t have all the answers. However, I do know that whatever it is, it’s dangerous, and we must resist and rebel against their push for what seems to be their goal of total, authoritarian, takeover; you and me, and all of the remaining who are awake and still ‘sane’. The time has come to take away these usurpers’ government-rule ‘toys’ and send them to the rubber room for a bit of ‘time-out’.
Conclusion: All of he foregoing groups comprise a large majority of ‘everyday’ Americans. Those who believe in freedom, justice, and the American way; a nation of people who believe in God and the golden rule, and who are wary of a potentially tyrannical government. These people have different sociocultural and political views, espouse different religious beliefs, and may differ by many characteristics. However, It’s not about race or politics—or any other divisive distinction. We are all brothers-in-arms, when we come under attack. We all experienced this patriotic sense of solidarity, after the events of 9/11; we need to rekindle our unified American identity in order to affect changes, take back our sovereignty, and restore the USA to its constitutional republic status. We are under attack, people. WAKE UP!

“Mental disorders are common in the United States and internationally. An estimated 26.2 percent of Americans ages 18 and older — about one in four adults — suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year.1 When applied to the 2004 U.S. Census residential population estimate for ages 18 and older, this figure translates to 57.7 million people.2 Even though mental disorders are widespread in the population, the main burden of illness is concentrated in a much smaller proportion — about 6 percent, or 1 in 17 — who suffer from a serious mental illness.1 In addition, mental disorders are the leading cause of disability in the U.S. and Canada.3 Many people suffer from more than one mental disorder at a given time. Nearly half (45 percent) of those with any mental disorder meet criteria for 2 or more disorders, with severity strongly related to comorbidity.1
In the U.S., mental disorders are diagnosed based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fourth edition (DSM-IV).4”

Yeah, if I were a rich man, DoDoDoDeDoDeDumm! WTF? I am not, and frankly, haven't ever wanted to be, a rich man. The truth is, I never cared for the concept; fretting about finances and such--too much w-o-r-k. Being a C.A.B. (see elsewhere on blog) has sufficed, and I never went hungry, just making do. That said, however, I do respect those who work hard to attain financial enlightenment and independence--I really do. Usually it takes years of work and planning, compounding interest, etc...
What pisses me off is the inevitable rich man-poor man BULLSHIT that keeps surfacing whenever there's a Dumocrat commenting about gub'ment financing the debt, etc. Man, if it's not race, it's class warfare for those idiots. Why do they have to always pit Americans against one another, and play that divisive shit? Truth is, those Ds have virtually enslaved the whole population of America with that crap; one group dependent on entitlements and gub'ment giveaways, and the other made guilty for not needing it, and slooowly bled. It's inevitable that Ds will totally crash the economy into the toilet if they start amping up the tax code to squeeze [even] more from the 'haves', so they can redistribute to the 'have-nots'. Yes, it seems that the Ds are really socialist/Marxists--who the fuck doesn't know that that system JUST DOESN'T WORK, HAS NEVER WORKED, AND WILL NEVER WORK? It's a system that defies the human need for freedom, independence, and continual striving for improvement. Some are guilt-ridden liberals who are indeed well-to-do, or comfortable, and perhaps have a masochistic need to punish themselves for not being unfortunate--poor--themselves. I dunno; maybe some are just plain stoopid. It takes all kinds...
Ill-educated, and/or simply naive, people who get suckered into the class-war BS may think that people are somehow entitled to a free [eg.,] lunch and such, perhaps because they might think the 'rich man' is somehow keeping them down. Maybe it's just human nature to want shit for "free", but, one must realize that it's not the 'gub-ment' that's footing the bill, it's from somebody else's pocket!Politicians have suckered people into little dependencies and programs voters think are "free", only to stay in power and maintain control over these weak-minded fools. The worst part of it all is that many, if not most, people feeding at the trough really don't actually needmany of these freebees! But they DO add up--think 43 MILLION+ on food stamps alone! Medicare/-caid is likely the biggest cash-burner, though. Once secured into the system, it's a free-for-all for the Med-Pharma-Insurance Complex to greedily suck off the tit (In reality, sucking off wealth from nearly all Americans)--and the costs NEVER go down--only up-up-up! These are HUGE sums, on a per capita basis, given the sheer numbers who qualify. Few people had put in as much as they're getting out, especially given their longevity, the high costs of meds/testing/treatment, and the burgeoning 'baby boomer' population that is sure to overcome the system--soon! However, once on a program, it's hard to get off--to push away from the table--kind of like addiction[s]. Meanwhile, the gub-ment goes on spending, borrowing and spending, till the day of reckoning...
If the giveaways were cut, terminated, or managed efficiently, maybe the wealth redistribution might be allayed, and those poor devils [us] footing the bill might even have enough capital left to invest in American businesses/manufacturing/jobs! ('course, right now, with the volatility, they might just hang on to any surpluses. Good--people need to save more...) Who is on the govern-tit? Damned near everybody--low-to-middle classes. Even some rich and powerful people and corporations are feeding, via subsidies and tax-breaks. Some are lazy people, the ones who might think hard work simply means getting paid less for doing more. Some were borne into poverty, but had neither the smarts nor the gumption to improve on their situation. Some don't deserve shit--but get it anyways.
Given, it's not just the Ds who got us here; Rs sheep along too, for whatever reason[s]. The simple fact is that we are not getting out of the abyss by taxing anyone more, especially those in a position to expand the economy and employ more people [OMG, who would even THINK of doing that?].
The truth is that the gub'ment needs to balance the budget, make it mandatory to do so, and cap spending across the board. Weed out stoopid programs that don't show measurable results. Start operating like a business, per se. Means testing should be implemented as well; we don't need to give Food Stamps to 43+Million people, now, do we, REALLY? Or free lunches and after-school programs to damned near anyone? No more spending $$ we don't have! I'm not suggesting we stop helping one another, but let's get real. We broke-ass bitches, as a nation. Simply STOP spending $$ we don't have. Simple as that. Problem solved.
To those that are inclined to redistribute their wealth, and, to help free them from guilt, I say set up a donation program [hey, even online, through PayPal?]. You folks who feel you must give away your monies simply give till it hurts, if need be. Go right ahead--but leave the rest of us out of your giveaways! We need freedom and independence from big gub'ment, and their foolish spending ways! It's not about being rich vs poor, or a race thing, or a guilt thing; just common sense. Cut that spending and get gub'ment off the backs of Americans, and we will get by, even improve......nuff said...
Simple.
