This is a great encouragement and a great read. people in AR are turning back to their faith and taking their prayer life (and their true repentance) more seriously. It is encouraging!
Thank you, Lara. Another one of my maxims is that it might take just ONE scandal - definitively proven or "confirmed" - to make enough people realize that all the authorized narratives might be bogus. If this ever happens, the Swamp could be drained and "real positive change" COULD happen.
P.S. That's why I've focussed on "early spread" as - who knows? - that might be the exposed scandal that gets this chain reaction of belatedly-revealed truths started.
Thanks for sharing. This one caught my eye b/c it was a big "aha" moment for me: "The government (and its crony partners) have taken over virtually all of the Mob’s best rackets."
Sad, but true. Seems they got rid of the mob so they could run the competition out of the market.
- Drugs (now done via Rx co's, which also took over for Tobacco co's as the US Gov's cash cow);
- Gambling (a huge business that preys on the vulnerable, feeds the government $$$, and has almost no rules regulating it);
- Money laundering (pretty much the Congress' #1 racket);
- Human trafficking (Epstein, Diddy, and others I'm sure we don't yet know about);
- Election fraud
I'm sure there are other examples.
But hey, the silver lining is that more people are openly talking about these things in more places than I've ever seen. Decades ago it would've been just my one great uncle talking to whomever he could corner, lol. (Turns out he was right about almost everything. Aliens are still up for debate, but he nailed the rest of it.)
And it's definitely spiked popular interest in good/evil and faith.
About a year ago, I wrote a column developing the hypothesis that the government has taken over all of the Mafia's traditional rackets. Your post includes several examples that were in my piece. Yep. The government doesn't like competition. Don Corleone and his son had no chance. I'd argue that the Godfather was much more benevolent or had far more redeeming qualities than the government mob.
In my Mafia column, I focussed on the government taking over gambling and highlighted lotteries (which are really "numbers rackets."). One difference between the government's lottery and the Mob's local numbers lottery is that the government does not allow any competition. That is, you or me could not start a lottery where we offered better odds or let winnners keep more of "their" jackpots.
that's what the occupying US forces in italy thought after ww2. since the mob didn't like mussolini, guess who we put in charge of the country instead.
World War II started after Poland was invaded by Germany. Presumably, the goal was to liberate this country from a tyrant, authoritarian regime.
The Allies win the war ... and promptly let communist and ruthless USSR rule Poland (and most of eastern Europe).
Also, WWI - the "War to End all Wars" - led to the Mother of All global wars two decades later. And WWII led to the Cold War, which wasn't always cold, and lasted 50 years.
At least the mob had a code of honor and generally didn't attack innocent people. And they cared about their local communities to some degree, which obviously our hyper-centralized government agencies despise more than just about anything.
All of that was probably b/c the mob had faith / were believers, even if they weren't exactly devout. They still believed in a higher power. And they knew one day they too were going to die.
On the other hand, our ruling class sees itself as the rightful descendants of the the Pharaohs or something like that: as gods or demigods themselves, who can cheat death via technology.
Do you remember the first scene in "The Godfather." All those people came to the wedding of the Godfather's daughter to ask him for favors - or justice - that they knew they couldn't get from the government.
Don Corleone only personally killed two people. One was the man who killed his brother, father and mother. The other was a previous bad Don who was extorting everyone in the neighborhood.
He did send his lawyer to try to make an offer to a Big Wig studio boss so he'd hire his godson for a part that was perfect to him. The producer didn't listen to reason and woke up with a horse head next to him! However, that producer was a pedophile.
Also, the Godfather tried to convince all of the families and his own family to stay out of the hard drug business .... but they didn't listen to him.
Michael Corleone probably knew he should go into the legal drug business and buy the biggest ownership share in Pfizer.
Many things came from the mob that are in the Democrat Party. Abortion was once done by mob doctors. Fear and threats by union goons, who are always Democrats, once even blowing up a dynamite truck and killing the non-union driver, is another tactic/trait that moved over.
Obfuscating/clouding legally who "ordered the hit" or "pulled the trigger" has been on full display during the Covid era.
Also, rioting and arson to get your way.
Committing heinous bad acts but acting as if you are virtuous when you DON"T kill someone, therefore "being merciful" moved over.
Black budgets. Black ops. Street drug pushing by the CIA, manned by both parties, moved over from mob style organizations. Possibly straight from the Nazi's and Eastern Europe's governments in the previous century.
We must have followed the Nazi Pervetin distribution with our own meth and cocaine, LOL.
Iceland is killing their unborn Down's Syndrome babies but much more quietly than when Hitler piped car exhaust into mental hospitals to kill the patients there, without family consent.
It's not an accident that these methods, organizing precepts, acts, lies, repeat themselves throughout history.
Amen and amen. Tucker said it as well all over the place. So glad everyone is waking up. Searching out Truth will lead you to Truth, if you are serious about the search. I have known God for 55 years, but have grown more in the last 5 than the previous 50. If all this BS hadn't happened, so many would still be content to sit on the old normal. This life is just a dress rehearsal for eternity. Pick a side. God says "I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live; you and your descendants , by loving the Lord your God, by obeying His voice and by holding fast to Him; for this is your life and the length of your days". Deut 30:19-20
So, it is OUR choice which path to take. It takes the worry out of it all when you put it in the hands of Him who holds the future. It is a relief to work on my eternal self. I am in this world, but I am not of it. And...don't be discouraged if some fall away from you because you have chosen to speak out. I would rather hear God tell me good job when I see Him face to face. I do not want a human's opinion of my calling or writing to make me NOT say things I know are Truth. It is pretty much opposite world now. People are calling good, evil and evil, good. Signs of the times for sure. Love your common sense about living in end times. I tell Hubs that all the time and he answers with "lots of people over the ages have thought they were living in the end, and yet, here we are." Yeah, no. This time it is different and I know this in my very soul. God wins, but He never said it would be easy on us.
SadieJay - thank you for this beautiful comment. It truly resonated with me. Covid was a gift (like Jenna wrote about). It woke me up to so very many things. The most important, my relationship with Jesus Christ. I hadn't been walking with Him for a very long time.
I once was lost, but now I'm found. Was blind but now I see.
Amen...and I had no idea that anyone had even responded to my comment on here. I think (ok, I know) that we are being throttled. Thank you.♥ God bless you and yours and peace be with us all.
Solomon himself proclaimed in Ecclesiastes 1:9, "History merely repeats itself. It has all been done before. Nothing under the sun is truly new."
And because the path to follow Jesus is never promised to be a smooth one, Jesus boldly tells his followers in John 16:33, "Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”
Then, the apostle Paul reminds us in Ephesians 6:10-12, "Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places."
"If one believes Satan is real, this person must also believe in God. For believers, it might make sense that Satan has never stopped trying to turn people away from God by any means necessary - fair or, much more likely, unfair."
I’ve heard it presented as Satan is not God. All he can do is listen and watch. Weaknesses offer cracks that demons, fallen angels and evil spirits can enter and compromise humans. I believe in possession. This horrible revelation the last 4 years kind of shows me Satan is pushing hard because he knows his demise is coming as the last days come closer. He needs humans to do it. After I realized that in frankly, one horrifying moment, all the evil I saw was explained. Made me seek God. Seek His protection and not be afraid.
Thank you for your marvelous column! During this Biblical moment over the past 5 years I too have learned more, researched more, appreciated Nature and my God-given immune system even more, felt gratitude toward our Founding Fathers, felt love and protectiveness for the USA, communicated daily with God, seen Evil, learned Truth from my heroes, experienced others' fear and complacence and fervor, and I've faced the consideration of dying in order to help preserve freedom for my children and grand children and future generations. Significant time to be alive!!
Just be aware of grifters and hucksters - the churches are corrupt and dead. I have never seen so many bloodthirsty snake oil salesmen in my life. The love of the Lord must always be greater than the love of belonging, which has been Written.
I’ve mentioned this often - In the past 4-5 years which kicked off with Stupid 19 going all the way to Cackling Kamala and her revolting sidekick Tampon Tim, I can honestly say I’ve learned more in this time than I did in all the seven decades prior. And the key comes in the understanding that when push comes to shove, I barely know anything at all.
And it really is like watching a movie in which I play a significant part. It’s a drama, a thriller, a love story and a comedy all in one.
Great share! I think a great many truth-seekers are on the same journey. Coming from all different places and directions. Paths nearing, others heading in the same general direction coming into view. Sensing that all of our path's are converging at some place still off in the distance.
The search for truth will lead to truth. And God is the ultimate truth. My intellectual journey has brought me to my faith much more than I ever was before. Applying Reason. Often blamed for taking us away from God ever since the Age of Reason/Enlightenment. Reason is leading me back to God. And others like me, you. A humility has set in that what I thought I knew I really didn't know. And the realization that so many deceivers had so effectively blinded me to Truth.
I find I have more in common with my most religious, faithful friends, who've done none or very little of the research and acquisition of knowledge and understanding the changes to our world I've taken note of these past four years, just by their biblical teachings and readings of scripture. I always knew they were on their path with God. I didn't think that was my path. Until I seriously began my path for Truth. And discovered the path's to God and Truth are one and the same
There are many paths to truth, to God, that we can take. We each have our truth's we hold our own understandings of. But in the end there is only one truth. As there is only one God. However we get there, all that matters is that we do. Even if we're put to death for seeking truth. Just as Christians were put to death for seeking God. To live a lie is a far worse fate.
This is a great encouragement and a great read. people in AR are turning back to their faith and taking their prayer life (and their true repentance) more seriously. It is encouraging!
