Can you identify where the sill point on this earth picture above is located? You might guess the north and south poles. But you would need to be more specific. Are you talking geographical north, or magnetic north, because there is a difference. Currently the two differ by some 310 miles but the north magnetic pole has been found to be moving toward Siberia at about 34 miles per year (worldatlas.com). The geographic pole remains stationary, and our meridians, lines of longitude, are fixed. The magnetic poles vary based on the flows and surges of the earth’s interior hot liquid iron core. We do not mean to give a lecture on paleomagnetism (the study of earth’s past magnetic field) but intend to use this as an example maybe we can relate to in our own lives. So, we begin by asking this question. Can you identify the STILL POINT in your life today?

Like us, we believe there are times in your life today when finding a quiet, peaceful moment, where you find stability and equilibrium from opposing forces, may be a bit difficult to find. Do you find it hard to find A STILL POINT IN A TURNING WORLD. Maybe at times you may feel more like Stretch Armstrong, or Silly Putty, often stretched to and sometimes beyond your limit to bear. Maybe at times you feel bent and twisted by forces beyond your control, like Gumby and Pokey, those loveable and bendable toy creatures created in 1953 by Art Clokey. They never complained when bent and twisted, but they couldn’t speak either.

We live in a world today where we have little influence over major events. We have wars going on around us, costs of goods and services continue to increase, violence on our campuses and in the streets of our cities, inflation is consuming more and more of our ever-shrinking dollar, and there is the rising debt our Nation is incurring that will someday have to be paid off. These forces pulling at us and bending us often seem to leave us on the ragged edge. We get angry, lose our cool, say things we shouldn’t, and without thinking of ramifications, do things that are irrational, sometimes hurtful, not only to others but to ourselves as well. Finding A STILL POINT IN A TURNING WORLD takes awareness and effort.

Finding the “geographical pole” in our own lives is much easier than finding the “magnetic pole”. But even finding the “geographical pole” takes vigilance and constant care, as it is with the earth’s “geographical pole” as ice flows make planting a stake or sign there is difficult to do. The “magnetic pole” in our lives is always shifting, and we need to continually seek it in order to find our STILL POINT IN A TURNING WORLD. We would suggest a simple motto to help guide you in finding and keeping your STILL POINT IN A TURING WORLD. “Live in the present like you would like to be in the future.” Spend more time listening and less time talking. Compliments are ethereal roses to give, and do not steal another’s joy when they are given to you. Humility and kindness will always reap rewards. Hurtful words spoken cannot be unsaid. Remain true to your commitments. Honor those who are older, and do not shun those who are younger. Protect your character, which is who you are when no one is looking. Finally, give praise and thanksgiving to our Creator, before making supplications.

To find your STILL POINT IN A TURNING WORLD, listen for the quiet voice of conscience. The source of a STILL POINT is not found in the tumultuous turning world. Consider Elijah of the Old Testament. He had just won a huge victory over the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel, but a hit was put out on him, and Queen Jezebel wanted him dead. Elijah feared for his life and ran away to Horeb and hid in the mountain of God. “The Lord said, ‘Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.’ Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave.” (1 Kings, chapter 19.) We don’t need an earth-moving event to calm our frayed nerves. We need to listen for the “gentle whisper” of our Creator. We are a fragile people and all we really need to find our STILL POINT IN A TURNING WORLD, is to listen for the still voice of His Spirit within us.

Our FREEDOM and LIBERTY are a gift from our Creator. Pick up your moral compass which will point you to your STILL POINT IN A TURNING WORLD. Be not dismayed at the events of our day, but put your hope, trust, and faith in the One who can center our lives to be able to live with peace in our hearts and minds.

It’s not often, if ever so far, that we have had more than one topic to satisfy our hunger for comment that needs to be addressed immediately. But this last week has been different. As a Nation, we are under attack on many fronts. We have lost our energy independence, our borders are breached daily by illegal aliens, we have rising interest rates, costs from energy to food to housing are increasing, FREEDOM of speech is being shuttered, Lady Justice has become unbalanced and unblindfolded, our National debt is surging daily, our children are being influenced by woke ideologies while our parents and those who are religious are under attack from within, violence on our streets is increasing, stores are being robbed daily, wars are breaking out on multiple Contenants, Communism, Marxism, and Islamism are on the rise in our Nation, Capitalism is under attack from Socialism, our police are under physical and verbal attack, our armed forces are spread thin and not meeting recruitment goals while reducing thresholds for entrance, Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI) are promoting incompetent people, and Caucasians are under constant attack from reverse racism. We could go on, but enough said. We’ve addressed all of these topics in previous blogs, but today we want to focus on two others that are “rearing their ugly heads” as of this posting. Thus, the “DOUBLE BARREL SHOTGUN – Two-in-One Blog”.

First, we believe that the current Speaker of the House of Representatives has not held true to his words and commitments. He had previously stated multiple times during his selection for Speaker of the House, that he would hold the line on additional Ukraine funding until significant progress was made in securing our Nation’s borders. “House Speaker Mike Johnson told fellow Republicans on Tuesday that sweeping changes to U.S. border policy would be their ‘hill to die on’ in negotiations that have already grown tense as Congress considers [the current occupant of the White House’s] $110 billion package for the wars in Ukraine and Israel and other security needs.” (apnews.com; Updated December 5, 2023; Stephen Groves and Lisa Mascaro.) Multiple other news outlets reported the same thing. The recent foreign aid package signed into law by the current occupant of the White House included no significant progress to stem the tide of illegal aliens crossing our Nation’s borders. So, there is concern that the newly elected Speaker has failed to “walk his talk”, but the time to address this issue is not now. The votes have been made; the law has been signed. Spilled milk cannot be put back into the bottle, no matter how much we may regret its spilling. While the progressive left is collapsing under the weight of their support for antisemitism and Islamism exploding on many of our Nation’s campuses, those on the conservative right should do nothing to distract from the attention of the left’s implosion by throwing our House of Representatives into chaos over a Speakership fight. DO NOT throw the left a lifeline by distracting from their own ideological self-destruction! Deal with the current House Speakership problem later and in other ways. Throwing the House of Representatives into chaos now will hand the reigns of leadership over to the left when a couple more Republicans quit or switch sides. If that were to occur, there will be no longer any investigations, hearings and Sopenas over the left’s corruptions, lies, and deceptions. Instead, the persecution of the right will be expanded, and more and more will be prosecuted, arrested and jailed, and our Great Republic will be lost.

The second of our “DOUBLE BARREL SHOTGUN – Two-in-One Blog”, has to do with the ineptitude exemplified by representatives of our current National government. The hubris expressed angered us deeply. It was just another demonstration of the current government’s leadership believing that nationalism should be squashed by globalism, where the “control” of one country should be given over to the “control” of another nation or entity. As an example, our current government leadership wants to turn over our FREEDOM and LIBERTY to global entities like the World Health Organization (WHO). Later this year the WHO will try to win over the rights to impose upon our Nation dictates, lockdowns, and penalties for non-compliance, much like the British Empire did that led to our Revolutionary War. What sometimes “goes around” doesn’t necessarily have to “come around” again. Only a FREEDOM and LIBERTY loving populace, engaged and defensive, can secure personal and national independence. There was a statement made recently that enflamed our ire. ‘”We cannot, will not support a major military operation in Rafah absent an effective plan to make sure that civilians are not harmed and no, we’ve not seen such a plan.’ Blinken told reporters.” (usnews.com; May 1, 2024; By Reuters.) Anthony J. Blinken is our Nation’s current Secretary of State. What nation has a right to dictate terms to another independent nation? Consider this hypothetical. Assume our Nation is attacked by either Canada to our north, or Mexico to our south. In the process, they continuously launch missile and rocket attacks, and then in their final act of terrorism, they cross our border and kill 40,000 of our citizens (numbers provided by realclearpolitics.com, April 3, 2024, Star Parker), and take a couple thousand hostages back to their country. What response do you suppose our Nation would take? Would our Nation go after our hostages? Would you want to continue living under constant missile attacks, or be forced to move permanently from all border areas? Would you want our Nation to share our plans for response to any other nation, especially if that other nation may not be supportive of our plight and may in fact share our plans for reprisal with our attacker.

Does Israel have an obligation to share their rescue plans with our Nation, especially if you suspect our Nation to have divergent views from Israel and is known to share intelligence with others who may be antisemitic? We say NO! Unless you live under a rock and have no outside communication, you cannot claim ignorance of Islamic terrorism. Under their Caliphate (government leadership), they suppress women, behead Koran unbelievers, and seek the destruction and death of Israel and the United States of America. Their children have been taught this by their parents and teachers all their lives. We have Representatives in our Congress whose speech often seems to support the terrorist activities of these fringe Muslim Islamic groups. Ever hear of “The Squad”? Democrats have voted against a resolution backing Israel, condemning Hamas (thehill.com; October 25, 2023; Olafimihan Oshin). We want to make this clear. In our Nation we have FREEDOM FOR religion, not FROM religion. Islamic faith doesn’t paint anyone automatically as a terrorist, however most terrorist organizations today are Muslims of the Islamic faith, like The Muslim Brotherhood. We must be aware that their influence is growing within our National government. Refer to the following articles: “Senate Confirms Highest Ranking Muslim in Government . . .” (usnews.com, June 8, 2023); “Since 9/11, US Muslims Gained Unprecedented Political, Cultural Influence” (newsweek.com, September 1, 2021); and “Record number of Muslims elected in US Midterms” (theguardian.com, November 26, 2022).

Israel should not share any plans with the current U.S. administration. If we want to see our relationship restored with the only true Democracy in the Middle East, we need to vote for a change in our government leadership. Our FREEDOM and LIBERTY are at stake in our Republic. Your vote counts! Be a voter. Be an observer at our elections. Get involved in your political party to have a say in the direction of your party. Speak the truth to your family, friends and neighbors. Hold all to a high moral standard. Speak boldly and fearlessly. All of us are responsible, to whatever degree, to help reestablish our Nation’s morality and justice.

The above short video clip is taken from the 2008 cult classic movie called, “REPO THE GENETIC OPERA”. “By the year 2056, an epidemic of organ failures has devastated the planet and wiped out 99% of the human population. The megacorporation GeneCo provides organs on a payment plan. Clients who miss payments are hunted down by Repo Men, skilled assassins who ‘repossess’ the organs.” (Wikipedia.) While we could take this short blog a number of different directions, including the devastating long-term impacts of the COVID-19 injections, and the endless push from global elites like Bill Gates, to reduce the earth’s population, we will instead focus on another gruesome effect of the emerging “REPO MEN”.

Let’s set the stage for our different “REPO MEN” opera by presenting a scenario to you and asking what your responses might be. Assume that you have made a rather large deposit into a well-established bank. Your money is there for your use as you deem appropriate, and whether or not it gains interest for you is of no importance to this scenario. Now, suppose the bank all of a sudden chooses to steal your money and use it for their own purposes, because they don’t like how you look, or the clothes you wear, or the church you attend, or maybe even the politics you profess. Would you want to deposit more of your money into this bank? Suppose others familiar with this bank found out what the bank had done in stealing your money. Do you think any other potential depositors would dare take the risk to deposit any of their money into this bank? Do you suppose it would be likely that others with deposits in this bank might suddenly choose to withdraw their funds from this bank and deposit them elsewhere? Finally, what do you think the end result would be of the financial solvency of this bank? We believe your answers to the questions we’ve asked about the bank stealing your money would be quite evident. These really are rhetorical questions, as the answers are “no-brainers”.

Were any of you aware of the details of the aid package passed recently by Congress and signed into law by the current occupant of the White House? “The big U.S. aid package for Ukraine and other allies that [the current occupant of the White House] signed Wednesday also allows the administration to seize Russian state assets located in the U.S. and use them for the benefit of Kyiv.” (apnews.com.) Surprise! Our own government is becoming that “bank” we alluded to in our imaginary scenario presented before. The “REPO MEN” are hard at work.

We live in a world economy whether you like it or not. Very few things are totally made anymore in our Nation. Often times, what may even be “made” here is often simply assembled from materials manufactured and shipped in from abroad. Other nations from around the world invest in the U.S., in our institutions, factories, processing plants, and yes, even in our financial markets. Our Nation’s GDP (Gross Domestic Product) is dependent upon these foreign sources for the materials and goods consumed within our Nation. Since most of our Nation’s citizens have had little extra cash on hand to buy what is wanted or even needed, our GDP slumped to a skimpy 1.6% in the first quarter of 2024.

At FREEDOMGOFORTH.COM, we believe we are in a form of “Stagflation”. We addressed the foundations of this phenomena in several previous blogs. Three of them included, “IT’S THE ECONOMY, STUPID!” (September 25, 2022), “GOOD NEWS! The Rate of Inflation is Pruned” (October 23, 2022, which we affectionately referred to as our Rest In Peace blog), and “THE GREAT CREDIT CRUNCH” (October 1, 2023). We would also note that many of our other blogs contained snippets of information about “Stagflation”, which is defined as “Sluggish economic growth coupled with a high rate of inflation and unemployment.” (Wordnik.)

But you say, “We have a very low employment rate”. What one needs to realize is that many illegal aliens are taking “lowered” (yes, and we mean to say “lowered”) paying jobs. “‘One of the most crucial forces driving the nation’s job growth and economic vitality over the last year has been immigration’, said Rebecca Dixon, president and CEO of the National Employment Law Project (NELP). ‘Yet immigrant workers are also at the center of a growing crisis of workplace abuse, with undocumented (read that as “illegal aliens”) and temporary visa migrant workers among the most vulnerable to abuses including wage theft, health and safety risks, child labor violations, and retaliation from employers’.” (nelp.org; March 8, 2024.) Many U.S. citizens have given up looking for work and are no longer included in the jobs numbers. Many working citizens have more than one job, just to make ends meet. Low employment numbers given by our current administration need to be viewed with a suspicious eye.

Do you wonder what the two trillion dollars over what our government takes in each year goes to? “In 2023, the U.S. job market experienced a trend where nearly 25% of all job gains were attributed to government positions, underscoring a significant reliance on public sector employment to sustain economic growth.” (finance.yahoo.com; February 28, 2024; Caleb Naysmith.) Your tax dollars, and increasing National debt, is being spent in large part to increase the size, scope, and power of our ever-bloating National government. Have any of the rumored 87,000 new IRS agents contacted you yet? Historical facts in the last couple of years have shown continuing higher rates of inflation beyond the government’s target of 2% per year. At last report, it was at 3.5%. Prices of food, housing and energy are not coming down, but are being added on to each and every month. Fewer people are buying stuff, because they don’t have the money to cover the rising prices, so our economy is becoming stagnant. We have stagnation in our Nation’s economic growth, and we have rising inflation making goods and services more expensive. Add the two together and we have “STAGFLATION”. The “REPO MEN” are at work by taking back more of your hard-earned money, as your dollar shrinks and as our economy slows.

What could be worse than “STAGFLATION”? Try adding to it a Nation that no other nation in the world wants to conduct commerce with for fear of that nation, our U.S., “nationalizing” another nation’s assets. Other nations will find other ways to safely conduct their commerce, using currency other than our dollar. The result being that the U.S. dollar will no longer be the World’s Reserve Currency, the only true remaining benefit our Nation currently enjoys. Losing the dollar’s status “. . . would likely mean less access to capital, higher borrowing costs and lower stock market values, among other effects. Having the world’s reserve currency has allowed the U.S. to run large deficits in terms of both international trade and government spending. If foreigners no longer want to hold dollars for savings, it would force significant belt-tightening at home.” (money.usnews.com; February 7, 2024; Ian Bezek.) Look out! Here comes cryptocurrency, and the potential governmental control over your banking and how you may or may not be able to use your own money. We’ve already addressed this in our blog on October 8, 2023, titled, “THE GREAT BANKING SCHEME”. The “REPO MEN” will not only take from other nations, but you as a citizen of this great Nation are at risk as well.

The “REPO MEN” in our current government are out to take from us our FREEDOM and LIBERTY, granted to us not by our current government, but by our Creator, and they are simply reflected in our Constitution and Bill of Rights. The “REPO MEN” take from us our hard-earned wages to spend willy-nilly on pet projects and in the institution of ludicrous schemes, while giving little to no thought as to the impact on the well-being of our Nation’s citizens and the world at large. The “REPO MEN” will remove from us our rights and abilities to “. . . peaceably . . . assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances”, guaranteed by Amendment 1 to our Constitution. The “REPO MEN” will squeeze us for more and more as we have less and less and they will eventually try to come take back from us our dignity, individuality, motivation, and respect, all those “organs” within us that make us who we really are, children of God. We must displace the “REPO MEN” by voting for a change. Do so for your own survival, but also for those who will follow you in this life. Only then, will those who have been laid to rest in years gone by, in battles fought for our Nation, welcome us as true patriots and fellow warriors who have and will sustain this great Nation in which we have been so richly blessed to reside.

““There’s a sucker born every minute” is a phrase closely associated with P.T. Barnum, an American showman of the mid-19th century, although there is no evidence that he actually said it” (Wikipedia). We are going to write briefly about SUCKERS, but in a way not directly expressed either by the short video clip above or by the phrase just mentioned. We want to discuss those types of suckers that grow at the base of many fruit, nut, and other types of trees. They also frequently sprout from surface roots surrounding trees. We don’t know about you, but we find them very annoying. We are not going to give any kind of horticulture advice, because that is not our training, but we do want to draw an analogy between SUCKERS and our current political government.

There is nothing good about allowing SUCKERS to thrive on a tree. SUCKERS can form for several reasons. Sometimes SUCKERS form as a result of a sick tree, maybe infected with disease or an infestation of unwanted organisms. Whatever the cause, SUCKERS draw away moisture designed for the tree and take away strength for more normal growth and health of the tree. SUCKERS normally grow near or at the base of a tree or can form on the tree trunk. It is not uncommon that SUCKERS can also sprout from surface roots some distance from the tree trunk. Wherever SUCKERS form, they all have the same negative effect on the health of the tree, and in fact if not removed, can eventually cause the death of the tree.

Now to draw the analogy with our current government. Inattention of our general populace has allowed infestations of disease and organisms to infect our National government “tree”. Our National “tree” has been infected with foreign money, personal ideologies that are rewarded with power and prestige, and with big corporate greed and influence. There are even “organisms” that have snuck their way into the very bark of our National “tree” operations. Their influence has brought in anti-nationalistic themes including Islamic and Communistic ideas counter to the themes of our Judeo-Christian heritage formed by our Founding Fathers. Without much notice from inattentive citizens, we have found over time that our National “tree” is sick. Toxic liberalism and racism have taken residence in our National “tree”. We have failed to practice routine maintenance required to maintain a healthy National “tree”. SUCKERS have formed when we weren’t looking, and most of us assumed someone else, usually our elected and appointed local and National Representatives, would tend to the duties of care needed by our National “tree”. We were wrong to expect those we put in charge to carry out the needed maintenance without our constant observation and communication. For the most part, they have failed, and so have we. Most of our National citizens became disengaged from politics and the need for personal involvement. Many even failed to vote, being too busy with Facebook, TikTok, other social media points of contact, or being fascinated with our smart phones, and the multiplicity of apps and games that have consumed our hours, our lives, turning us into hypnotized drones.

Maybe, just maybe, many of us have in fact become SUCKERS. We have allowed our Nation to become sick with multiple infestations and dangerous organisms. Maybe a few of us have even aided in the infection of our once great Nation. But it is never too late to change course. We, ourselves, may never see the direction of our Nation reversed, once again becoming the Nation our Founding Fathers desired. It may take more than a generation or two to undo the damage that has infected our National “tree”. But our FREEDOM and LIBERTY are stake, and it will require action from all who are patriots believing in the founding principles described in our Constitution and Bill of Rights, to speak boldly, act proudly, defend against persecutions, support the defenseless, and uphold truth, morality, and justice. Pick up your sheers and start trimming down those SUCKERS that continually drain needed nutrients and energy from our National “tree”. Apply the needed salve to heal our National infections and begin to root out those organisms that have burrowed deeply into the bark of our National “tree”. This is not a job just for our elected or appointed Representatives. It is a job for you as well.

We are going to revisit a topic we covered quite extensively in our series of 10 blogs on TRANSPHOBIA, April 3 to June 5, 2022. It is fairly obvious by listening to talk radio, watching TV, or monitoring much of social media, via whatever method you many choose, that there is an attempt in our Nation to demonize those caught in the throes of gender identities. What we will discuss will seem to be somewhat countercultural but hear us out. Quite frankly we are appalled at the rush to declare those targeted as sick, evil, or perverted. Most focus in at how God created man and woman. We have no quarrel with the God’s perfect intention for the world He created for us to live in. What belies belief is how we have so quickly forgotten that this world is not “The Garden of Eden”. The sins of God’s created human beings have left us in a world sick with sin and its consequences. To the woman, God said, “I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth, in pain you shall bring forth children; Yet your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you.” (Genesis 3:16.) To the man, God said, “Cursed is the ground because of you; in toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life. Both thorns and thistles it shall grow for you; and you shall eat the plants of the field; by the sweat of your face you shall eat bread, till you return to the ground, because from it you were taken; for you are dust, and to dust you shall return.” (Genesis 3:17-19.) If you doubt any that this is true, ask any woman who has given birth how comfortable was the delivery of a child. If you believe the earth has been healed from this curse, you will have to reconcile why weeds and thistles continue to grow where you do not want them. The Apostle Paul wrote in Romans 8:22, “We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.” We know the “WHY” birthing is painful, and “WHY” weeds grow, but what about other issues that face our world today?

Mankind has continued to muck things up. Ever since the expulsion from the Garden of Eden, man has defied God’s plan for His creation. We were told to go forth into all the world and procreate (Genesis 1:28), but instead early man stopped along the way and built big cities and became evil. God regretted the day He made man, so the Great Flood wiped out all but Noah and his family, and possibly the Garden of Eden in the process, but no one knows for sure. The same command to go forth and procreate was again given (Genesis 9:1) but the fall of man continued leading eventually to redemption through belief in the Christ. That is basically the story of the Old Testament Bible in a nutshell.

But mankind has continued to muck things up. We believe ourselves to be a creative people, making all sorts of plans and manipulating the creation with our ill-proposed ideas and schemes. We invent, produce, and implement things with haste, often failing to consider consequences. When things we don’t understand appear, we are quick to blame the individual without asking the “WHY”. With some things bigger than ourselves we have used scientific methods to answer the question, “WHY”. Why is the sky blue (Rayleigh scattering), or why are rainbows colored (reflection, refraction, and dispersion of water droplets). How to seeds grow into plants with roots down and leaves up (geotropism and phototropism). We could mention a thousand or more examples, but you get the point. When we as a people are curious about the “WHY”, we seek to engage our brains and find answers. But we don’t always do this. Sometimes it’s simply easier to shift our brains into idle and go along with the noisy crowd and make unknowledgeable condemnations.

Concerning trans-athletes, we hold firm to the belief that gender transition following puberty should disqualify from participation in gender sports opposite to one’s birth sex. Puberty triggers hormone infusions that cannot be undone. Hormone infusions after puberty cannot undo what puberty has already applied. To ignore this fact is to allow potential competitive advantage or disadvantage. Boys, if you have lower external genitalia, you’ve got no business in a girl’s locker room, and if ‘you’re found there, you should be arrested, prosecuted, and jailed for a sex crime! Those who claim transgenderism need to understand that their choice in life has consequences that are no different than a person born with dwarfism understands they would never be able to play in the NBA. We often have made choices or endured situations that prevent the actualization of desires. We must learn to accept and endure, as one would have to do in being confined to a wheelchair or becoming blind. We must learn to live the life we have been given or have chosen.

Since the publishing of our series of blog posts mentioned above, additional information has surface on potential causes of transgenderism. Until we as a people begin to answer the question “WHY”, we will do disservice to those who claim to be trans. First, we want to refute the belief that transgenderism is a precursor in some way, shape, or form, to transhumanism. Those who are trans have no desire to become the first step to man-machine interface, at least to no greater percent than any other demographic group. Starting a word with “trans” is no more of a step to transhumanism as is the word “trans-Atlantic”, or power pole “transformers”. Your bank “transaction” has nothing to do with transhumanism, and neither did your old “transistor” radio. And we want to set the record straight. Transwomen are NOT drag queens! Drag Queens are mostly gay men who only occasionally dress up in women’s attire for entertainment or self-promotional purposes.

Next, let’s talk about the environment in which we live. We mentioned some of this in our previous blogs, but we can now add substantially to it. WE LIVE IN A CHEMICAL AND ELECTRONIC SOUP! Where do you think those soundwaves and electronic signals go? Just to your radio or cellphone? No, they are everywhere all the time, you just can’t see them. There have been questions about sleeping under an electric blanket or holding the cell phone too close to your head and name a dozen more concerns that literally hang in the air with no definitive answers. There is much we don’t know, mostly because manufactures don’t want anyone to look under their rugs for crap. Just ask the tobacco industry when they learned that nicotine was a carcinogen. How many people paid the price of an early painful death because of hidden facts? Turn any TV on and you will see ads talking about the harmful effects of certain chemicals. Man created years ago a wonderful produce call Asbestos. Now we are dealing with Mesothelioma. If you spent time at Camp Lejeune, a Marine Corps Base, you may have cancer because of fuel leaks that contaminated the water supply there. The weed killer Roundup manufactured by Monsanto contains glyphosate, a possible carcinogen, and can give exposed individuals Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma or other cancers. How about a recent article in People magazine (April 15, 2024) that talks about long-term health concerns over nano plastics found in bottled water. And long before any of these, consider the impacts of radiation poisoning because of wonderful nuclear atom bombs. What about the effects of DDT, DDE, and dioxins, all of them being estrogenic chemicals. In our previous blog series, we had already discussed the effects of DES (Diethylstilbestrol), developed in 1938, a synthetic hormone given to millions of women between 1945 and 1970 in vitamins (reference our blog on May 29, 2022). It was even in animal feed, and its effects are being felt generations later. How about all those vitamins and drugs in our marketplace? For the vast majority, we have no idea how they interact when taken together. Some of the warnings for new medicines advertised on TV have warnings in fine print at the bottom of the screen that are as long as a two-mile freight train, and some say, “could cause death”. Well, kill me now! We hear you yelling, “STOP!”, because you get the point. In how much of any of this do you find personal immunity? But there is one more we want to share that also specifically addresses the trans issue.

The following paragraphs, some of it in quotes, comes from a report broadcast on the show “Full Measure”, with Sharly Attkisson, on January 13, 2024. The topic was “Scientific Research Links Water Contamination to Sex Changes in Animals.” Part of the broadcast centered around a product called “ATRAZINE”, a St. Augustine Weed Killer, used on crops and often found in drinking water. “We showed that Atrazine de-masculinized animals as well as feminized animals.” “Genetic males actually transformed into females.” “We begin today with the disturbing scientific saga that demonstrates how far some will go to control what version of science gets told and how that can factor into emerging trends in human sexuality,” 25 years ago, a researcher stumbled across an important piece of the puzzle, but powerful forces have worked to silence and smear him, making it harder to get at the facts all these years later when they could matter the most. Tyrone Hays, at the University of California, Berkley lab, is a Professor of Integrated Biology (a Developmental Endocrinologist). His interest is the role of hormones regulating development. He worked for Novartis, a chemical giant, in 1998. He was contracted to see if Atrazine, an herbicide, somehow interfered with hormonal regulation of development. Atrazine is used on corn crops, sugar cane, pineapples, sorghum, macadamia nuts, and evergreen tree farms. Atrazine is one of the most common contaminates in America’s drinking water. At the time, it was Novartis’s #1 selling agrichemical product. He found that when the chemical was found in genetic male frogs, instead of developing testis, that aspect was inhibited, and often times frogs developed ovaries and transformed into females. A certain type of larynx, or voice box, for attracting females was also inhibited.

He was prevented by his contract from publishing his work. He became uncomfortable with some of the things the company was asking him to do, interpretations and manipulations of the data. He repeated the work without their funding to have freedom to publish and discuss his work outside his lab and university. He found similar findings in species other than frogs. Some developed hermaphroditism, developing both male testis and female ovaries, when exposed to values far below what the EPA said was safe for people to drink. He soon began to feel like he was Novartis’s public enemy #1. Later, Novartis spun off its agrichemical business, and Atrazine, to China owned Syngenta. Syngenta published ways to discredit Hays, including investigating his wife, and manipulating social media search engines. Hays said his life was a living hell. They had plans to harass and pursue his students and family.

The EPA decided to “kick the can down the road” for 20 years, as the company raked in billions. In 2020 the EPA made its decision. “Atrazine is likely to effect 54% of all species, and 42% of all critical habitats.” The same year, EPA re-registered Atrazine for use. Hays published one paper, with 22 co-authors from 12 countries, that Atrazine was a reproductive toxin to fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and rodents. Other studies have seen correlation with human cell lines with adverse effects, including breast and prostate cancer, low sperm count, and a variety of different birth defects. “WHY” have we not learned of this sooner? Because big lobby and industry have a big influence over decisions like the ones the EPA has to make.

Today, the CDC says Atrazine can alter “the way that the reproductive system works”, may “increase . . . the risk of pre-term delivery”, may be linked to “some types of cancer”, “cause liver, kidney, and heart damage in animals” and “could cause these effects in humans”. When pregnant women are exposed to Atrazine in drinking water, it’s “associated with low fetal weight and heart, urinary, and limb defects”. High levels in pregnant animals caused “reduced survival of fetuses”. Hays says, “The sex and gender identity and sexual orientation and preference are in part controlled by hormonal influences early in development in the womb. We know this for example that your relative exposure to androgens and estrogens and other steroids may shape the brain that later determines those things. There are also genetic and social and other environmental influences as well. That all being said, [it’s] very likely that chemicals like Atrazine . . . can influence your hormonal balance, and we know it does so in humans, that that potentially can influence things like sex or gender identity and orientation.”

Studies like Hays’s may never be funded or at least published. There are like 80,000 human made chemicals in the world, and most of them have not been studied to the level that Atrazine has. Most of the other compounds used in agriculture we know nothing about what they do. Attkisson said, “We couldn’t find anybody publicly studying the impact of Atrazine or any other chemical or pharmaceutical product on transgender trends.”

We conclude with the question, “WHY” are we not looking for answers, and finding out “WHY” some things are as they are? We will once again mention the joke we told during our series of TRANSPHOBIA blogs. “Two men were walking home one night, and one of them dropped his keys. The one that dropped the keys walked over to a streetlight and began looking for them there. The other man asked why he was over there, because they were never over by that streetlight. The man that dropped his keys said, “Well, the light is better over here.” Sometimes we find it easier to not search in the hard places. That takes time and effort. It is so much easier to simply repeat what we have heard about trans people. “WHY” are gay people gay? “WHY” are lesbian people lesbian? We have taken sides in those debates just assuming that that’s just the way it is without ever seeking the answer to the question, “WHY” It’s time to start answering the question as to “WHY” transpeople are trans. Let’s use our FREEDOM and LIBERTY in our Nation to start looking in the hard places rather than being so quick to judge and condemn.

Last Sunday was Easter, the time set aside for Christians to remember the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. His crucifixion was remembered on the preceding Friday. Without His resurrection, His death would have had no meaning to humanity. HE IS RISEN is a reason to rejoice and celebrate, not just once per year, but each and every day. So, why the short video clip above about a Prowling Lion? We know from a study of the Holy Scriptures, the Bible, that Jesus is the Lion of the tribe of Judah. Both genealogies in Matthew and Luke record that Jesus is a descendant of the tribe of Judah. Follow the thread of texts from Genesis 49:9-10, to Revelation 5:4-5, then to John 5:22 to confirm. But our blog today is not about the Lion of Judah, but about warnings given about another lion that roams and roars today upon this earth.

Our Nation was founded to a great extent upon Judeo/Christian history, beliefs and philosophies. To deny that this is true is to ignore any simplistic study of our Founding Fathers, their writings, communications, and documents. Over the decades, our Nation has become more and more secularized, replacing belief in a Creator with secularism. Just one obvious example reinforcing this fact was the 2024 annual Easter Egg roll and art contest at the White House. A flier circulated by the White House stated that “submissions should not include any ‘religious symbols’ or ‘overtly religious themes’. This is done in a bid to uphold the nation’s SECULAR values, especially in public events and activities.” (timesnownews.com; March 30, 2024; CAPS provided for emphasis.) There are those that will argue that this is nothing new, and that’s correct, because we have already stated that the secularization of our Nation has been in the works for decades. This is primarily because for generations we as a people in this great Nation have become complacent, finding ease in our having already achieved a perceived peace in our time. After all, we fought and helped to win two World Wars. As a Nation we have become the most powerful one of earth. We have become wealthy by the world’s standards. All the while we have wallowed in the ease of comfort, convenience, and the ever-ethereal illusion of peace. Many of us have bought into the “Health and Wealth Gospel.” (Refer to our blog on April 30, 2023.)

Those who reside on the political progressive left in our Nation have often poo-pooed all over those who claim a religious FREEDOM and LIBERTY, seeing them as weak-minded, needing a crutch of spirituality to get them through each day. Those religious conservatives on the right have basically ignored their verbal abuse, seeing it as a mild form of persecution, promised by scripture to all who truly believe. “Yea, all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.” (2 Timothy 3:12.) Many have unfortunately ignored the dangers expressed in the very next verse, verse 13, “But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.” For many on the conservative right, they have let down their guards, and have become easy prey to those described in verse 13 above. One of the dangers is that those who practice secularism, have appeared to be more and more like those on the conservative right, professing many similar values, but which are belied by their own actions. They speak of Jesus’s love, His commandments, His love and grace. They will quote scripture, but even Satan did that to Jesus when he was in the wilderness following His baptism. Unfortunately, many will come from the conservative side of politics to seek the destruction of true conservatives (2 Peter 2:1-3) bringing destruction not only upon themselves, but potentially upon those who listen to them. They speak like true conservatives but are actually “wolves” in “sheep’s” clothing (Matthew 7:15). Wolves are dangerous to sheep, but how much more dangerous is a lion?

We are in a spiritual war. Our Nation does not have a soul, but each one of us does. “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a Roaring Lion looking for someone to devour.” (1 Peter 5:8.) No, Satan does not look like a lion. The Apostle Peter uses a simile to describe Satan. The word “like” is used. There is a huge difference between the lion imagery of Jesus and Satan. Satan is “like” a lion, and Jesus is referred to AS the lion. Satan will try to mimic, while Jesus actually is. Here is something vital to understand. Observe a cat chasing a mouse. The cat will make no sound as it Prowls upon its prey. The real lion of the jungle hunts in similar manor, absent of any “Roaring”. When Peter says Satan Prowls “like” a Roaring lion, he actually says Satan will go hungry, for he can never catch his prey as long as the prey hears the “Roaring”. Lions in reality only “Roar” as an alarm or warning, just like that Ferrel cat you once tried to pet. It got all fuzzed up and hissed, with that deep-throated growl. (Analogies complement of thewildolive.org.)

We believe our warning today is two-fold. There are those in our society today who seem to exemplify religiosity by their words. They speak, or “Roar”, claiming to be non-secular, while actually supporting and practicing ideologies far from conservatism. They are a threat to our Nation’s FREEDOM and LIBERTY, guaranteed not originally by our Nation’s Constitution, but first and most importantly by our Creator. These are people we can see and monitor, to be watchful and mindful of as they “Prowl” and “Roar”. The second is more cunning and eternally dangerous if you are caught. He is Satan who seeks those who fail to hear his “Roar” as he “Prowls” seeking whom he may devour. You cannot see him, but he is always nearby. Be ever watchful. Be purposeful in your living. Our Nation’s survival depends upon it, as does your eternal survival.

ACQUIESCENCE – “A silent or passive assent or submission.” (The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language.) “The act or condition of agreeing or consenting by silence or without objection.” (dictionary.com.)

We would like to begin today’s blog by asking only one question. Have you given up or ACQUIESCED to those powers controlling and directing the failing state of our Nation, by your choosing to “sit this one out”, by deciding rather to leave the crusade to save our Nation to others?

There may be many reasons why some have chosen to “sit this one out.” However, we have learned through personal experience, that “reasons” are often used to hide “excuses.” We will not judge your motives, for only our Creator has the right and power to do so. We really only desire to de-calcify the hardness that may have formed around your abilities and desire to go beyond often uncomfortable boundaries, and the fear of potentially putting at risk relationships and employments. Our great Nation was founded by men and women who chose to take risks and go beyond set boundaries hindering their FREEDOM and LIBERTY. We are recipients of their boldness, and we have benefited for generations their decisions to not ACQUIESE. We want to remind you of what President Ronald Reagan said in part of his Inaugural address on January 5, 1967. “Perhaps you and I have lived too long with this miracle to properly be appreciative. Freedom is a fragile thing and it’s never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by way of inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. And those in world history who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again.”

We would like to pivot now to address those of us who are more senior, who have lived long and loved much. You are members of The Greatest Generation. You fought through and won two world wars, bring peace, not only to our own Nation, but brought peace throughout the world, defeating those who would enslave populations and even exterminate them. You are mostly conservative in nature but have been more recently mired in the mega-plex of corporate media, where only half-truths are often told. Certain cable channels restrict and fail to air conservative broadcasts, even those providing a “more balanced” view of the news and of ideas. We will not rail against our conservative seniors, for their age of active involvement in politics is long-past, and they no longer desire to advance their impact.

Most of our older conservative seniors are not tech savvy. The good part of that is that they are not on social media, which we believe to be a major source of many of our National problems, where woke liberalism and progressivism prevail. The unfortunate part is that many are hesitant to use modern cell phone technology, let alone have the expertise to download and use conservative apps, even if available, all in the effort to expand their knowledge base. For many, the years of learning and applying knowledge is past prime. Many have bought into the age old saying that “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks”, and have chosen a more silent path, one free of additional learning and the risk of conflict upsetting a well-established lifestyle. Moreover, many seniors find mail-in ballots to be convenient and feel ballot fraud difficult to imagine and highly unlikely, for what they do hear on available channels is often too one-sided, void of opposing views, even those views that are true. If our older conservative seniors even have a computer, it is most likely used only for email communication with family and friends. Their concept of using a “search engine” is foreign, and even if they would care to dabble in web searches, many search engines are biased with algorithms used by their creators, who most often favor non-conservative views.

Many of our older conservative seniors are willing to leave the fight for FREEDOM and LIBERTY to the younger generations. Unfortunately, many of those younger generations have already succumbed to the allure of hypnotic, woke agendas flooding their social media points of contact. They feed off of each other, often spreading falsehoods and developing antagonistic feelings and beliefs about a once conservative Nation. Many of our older conservative seniors lack understanding of progressive efforts identified by three letters, like CRT, DEI, BDS, and BLM. Three-letter acronyms, defining agencies contrived by our ever-bloating National government, are often unrecognized, and even if they are, there is an interminable lack of understanding how each agency effects our FREEDOM and LIBERTY. We find this confusing, since most of these agencies were developed years ago. It was during the 1930’s FDR administration when the “New Deal” was developed. Some 69 agencies were developed during his terms. Many of our more senior conservatives were alive during this time, the time of the Great Depression, 1929 to 1939. See if you can recognize just a few that have been devised through those years and following. The FBI, CIA, IRS, CDC, DOT, DOD, DOE, FRB, DNI, NSA, DIA, DHS, and DEA. Do you know how many of these are specified in our Constitution? How does the number ZERO strike you? Beyond simply being able to understand the words that the three letters signify, do you have any concept as to how these agencies operate, how they influence you and your Nation’s FREEDOM and LIBERTY? Many, if not all, have been overrun with progressive, authoritarian ideologies. It is long-past time for a house cleaning.

It certainly is a bit much to expect many of our older senior conservatives to once again step forward to lead the fight to protect and secure our Nation’s FREEDOM and LIBERTY. However, there are many ways they can assist. At FREEDOMGOFORTH.COM we believe in our Creator. We believe His hand is at work daily in our lives, and in the life of our Nation. He desires our exultations, pleadings, and thanksgivings. If we fail to make “AN APPEAL TO HEAVEN” (reference our blog with the same title published August 15, 2022), then He may not choose to end our captivity to the principalities, powers, and rulers of darkness of this world (Ephesians 6:12). Be not deceived, for there is a spiritual war on this earth. The greatest power against these forces we could ever muster lies in the hand of our God. Our exultations to his glory and power, combined with our praise and thanksgivings through our prayers is the only way to appeal to His saving grace and mercy. Pray fervently, continually. Let your faith be shown in your communication and conversations. Do not fear the actions of others as you share your fears and desires for relief from the current government administrations. You might be pleasantly surprised how many actually feel as you do. Those who have opposing viewpoints need to be challenged, for if they are not, they will continue to exist in their self-created bubble of their own mis-dis-or mal-information. They will continue to be held captive by the evil rulers of darkness of this world and may never be able to secure FREEDOM and LIBERTY not only for themselves, but for their prodigy as well. Our older conservative senior citizens only need to pray and speak the truth. God desires no more, but He also desires no less.

If you do a web search and look up “THE GREAT REPLACEMENT THEORY”, you are likely to find multiple sites claiming it to be a white supremacist, xenophobic, anti-immigration mindset out to destroy any human color other than white, having started in the late 19th century. We don’t need to inundate you with the plethora of these biased opinions. In point of fact, it’s a little odd to think that “White” people rule the world, when “There are approximately 1,376,000,000 white people in the world which represent 20.25% of the world’s population.” (answers.com; January 26, 2024.) We, in fact, claim that “THE GREAT REPLACEMENT THEORY”, is ages old, dating back thousands of years. In ages past, as it even continues today, there have been, and currently are, world nations wanting nothing better than the total annihilation of another nation at odds with them, differing either by ethnicity, politics, or ancestry. Think about the war currently between Hamas in Gaza and Israel. Muslims against Jews. While we do not believe Israel has any desire to eliminate Muslims from the face of the earth, we do believe many Muslims would relish the destruction of the nation of Israel, thus the saying, “From the River to the Sea”, a call to push all Jews from the Jordan River, on the east side of Israel, into the Mediterranean Sea, on the west border of Israel, to be drowned and destroyed. That’s just one of the more current examples. We believe “THE GREAT REPLACEMENT THEORY” is alive and well in multiple ways within our own Nation, but not in the way most writers and journalists would contend, and we intend to prove it. This is not simply a “THEORY”, it is in reality a “FACT”.

Shown in the short video clip above, we see a human worker being REPLACED by a robot. Does anyone reading this blog doubt that this is currently happening in our Nation today? If so, maybe you should get out of bed and interface more frequently with the world around you! Self-driving cars are replacing human drivers. Software designers are being supplanted by AI algorithms. Robots are being used to deliver airborne products. Many modern vehicle factories now use automated machines to do the work once done by humans. Robots can now vacuum your floors, monitor your schedule and give you reminders about appointments and medicine consumption. Physicians are relying more and more on AI for patient diagnosis and treatment and can even assist in surgery. In the next decade, maybe the only thing you will do for yourself is eat, poop, and sleep.

But these things are not the sum total of “THE GREAT REPLACEMENT THEORY”. There are multiple changes taking place in our Nation alone that support our thesis that “THE GREAT REPLACEMENT THEORY” is in reality a “FACT”! Let’s just run through a few, in no particular order, for clarification. We are sure you could add more to our list.

1.) Probably one of the most obvious is the attempt to REPLACE nationalism with globalism. There are attempts to eliminate nation’s borders, dictated by many rich elites who feel they know best.

2.) With the advent of VR (Virtual Reality) glasses, reality is being REPLACED with virtualism, people playing and communicating in a make-believe world.

3.) Over the past couple of decades, spiritualism is being REPLACED with atheism. Another way to think about this is that God, with a big “G”, is being replaced by god, with a little “g”. It would seem many want to REPLACE our Creator, by elevating and glorifying the created.

4.) With the infusion of China’s influence into our Nation through the manipulation of finances and materials, not to mention covert spies and many of our national leader’s infatuation with financial gain from Chinese entities, it would seem that Communism is trying to REPLACE capitalism.

5.) Is there any doubt that illegal aliens crossing our Nation’s southern border are in many ways receiving preferential aid and treatment REPALCING what attention should be given to our own citizens.

6.) In the last several years we have been led to believe that equity should REPLACE equality. No longer is the most qualified selected or appointed but woke quotas have ruled the day.

7.) The state of Texas is currently in a tug-of-war with our current National government over who defends our Nation from invasion. It seems the current leaders of our government want to REPLACE states’ rights with federalism. Our current occupant of the White House continually fails to authorize processes and procedures to secure our borders, but in fact covertly funds, organizes, and expedites the invasion.

8.) On a more granular level, teachers’ unions and many school boards want to REPLACE the authority and rights of parents.

9.) With the advent of the “1619 Project”, there is an effort to REPLACE history with revisionism.

10.) Liberalism is trying to REPLACE conservatism.

11.) Our current government leaders want to REPLACE our FREEDOM with our subordination and subjugation.

12.) Our current government leaders want to REPLACE our LIBERTY with our servitude and compliance.

13.) Those on the political left have been railing for months how our Democracy is at risk of being lost. In fact, under the current leadership in our Nation, it has shown through actions that they have REPLACED Democracy with authoritarianism by the unending stream of executive orders, and ideologically aligned entities flooding our Nation with ever-restricting edicts apart from our Constitution’s established policy making entities, processes and procedures. The current government administration is using lawfare against its opposition and has attempted to even restrict ballot name inclusion in an effort to prevent citizen’s choice.

14.) Free speech has been REPLACED with censorship, shadow banning, and outright cancellation. Big business, powerful elites, and dominant social media platforms have worked hand-in-glove with the current government leadership to violate our Constitution’s First Amendment rights.

15.) Ideological elitists are seeming to make every effort to foment diversity in their attempt to REPLACE unity.

16.) Equal justice has been REPLACED by a two-justice system. Democrats who fail to heed Congressional subpoenas are not prosecuted or jailed, while Republican’s who do the same are prosecuted and imprisoned.

17.) Truth has been REPLACED with moral indifference. Many will say and do whatever necessary to get their way, usually for the sake of power and money.

18.) Righteous talk has often been REPLACED with cheap talk, where words are not confirmed by one’s actions.

19.) Illegal aliens are flooding our borders to REPLACE our own citizens, doing so has been lowering wages for all.

20.) Woke idealists, who wear “rose colored glasses”, will try to REPLACE those who live in reality.

We really haven’t addressed what is currently happening, that which is depicted in the short video clip above. “Elon Musk said AI will likely be smarter than all humans combined by 2029.” (news.yahoo.com; March 19, 2024; Marianne Guenot.) Xenobots (reference an article November 29, 2021; Katie Hunt) have now been around for several years. They are human created cellular-sized globs that are capable of performing self-healing acts, programed by a computer. It was reported this last week that Elon Musk’s neurolink, a chip inserted into a man’s brain, who still has paralysis and is a paraplegic, has allowed him to play chess with only brain power. NVIDIA, the chip designer force behind the explosion in AI technology, “. . . announced Project GROOT [Generalist Robot 00 Technology], a general-purpose foundation model for humanoid robots, designed to further its work driving breakthroughs in robotics and embodied AI.” (nvidia.com; March 18, 2024.) We are rapidly approaching a time where many human functions will be REPLACED with cyborgs, “cybernetically enhanced [or augmented] organism.” (Wikipedia.)

We want to end by asking one simple question. Are we, as a Nation, committing genocide by substitution? “THE GREAT REPLACEMENT “FACT” is alive and well. If you see danger on the horizon, then you must be compelled to take action to save our FREEDOM and LIBERTY in our Nation.

We’re all pretty familiar with the picture above. It was taken as our armed forces were in a retreat from Afghanistan, ordered by the current occupant of the White House, against the advice of nearly every one of his military advisors. In amongst all the chaos of this retreat, one of our embassies was evacuated. But this was not going to be the last one evacuated under the current administration. In fact, let’s count all of our embassies evacuated so far, and it’s not even at the end of the current occupant’s four-year term of White House occupancy. There is still most of the fourth year left, so stand by, there could be more embassy EVACUATIONS on the near horizon. Under the current government control, nothing would surprise us, since our positive footprint around the world has turned negative, and in fact our Nation’s influence around the world is more like the disappearing footprint in the wet sand of a rising tide. So far, the current occupant of the White House has had to evacuate SIX of our United States embassies around the globe. Let’s count them. We already mentioned Afghanistan, but we can include Niger, Sudan, Belarus, Ukraine, and now Haiti. Under the Obama administration, EIGHT embassies were evacuated over an eight-year presidency. The current occupant of the White House has embassy EVACUATIONS at two-times the rate of EVACUATIONS than while he was serving as Vice President under the Obama Presidency. Not a very good record under Democratic leadership.

Truly our world seems to be on fire. Two declared wars, one between Ukraine and Russia, and one between Hamas and Israel. There are conflicts in South America where Venezuela wants to seize part of its neighbor Guyana, and just this last week, we learned nearly 300 students were taken captive in Nigeria, Africa, most likely by Islamic terrorists who usually seek ransoms for the safe return of the children. Meanwhile, our Nation is in the throes of U.S. embassy EVACUATIONS. Not really putting our best foot forward, are we?

We very easily could have titled our blog today by saying, “You will know them by their fruits.” This comes from the Bible’s book of Matthew, chapter 7, verses 15 through 20, more specifically verse 16. The preceding verse has this warning, “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.” We have warned before about believing everything your government tells you. Please refer to our blog on October 22, 2023, titled, “WHO WILL SACRIFICE WHOM FOR WHAT?” Our current government is often claiming “this” but doing “that”. Their talk is often cheap, and not supported by their actions. Frequently they claim others are doing what they themselves are doing, trying to deflect from their incompetence, but we believe it is more due to their deflection from their own covert nefarious actions.

Our Nation is continuing to pile up trillions of dollars of debt. The rising interest rates have made housing unaffordable to many. Inflation may be coming down slightly, but your energy and food costs have not, and will not decline due to the devaluation of our dollars because of inflation. Our Nation’s borders are open to illegal aliens. The hyping of racism elevates tensions between our citizens. The rich get richer, while the poor get poorer. Our Nation is dependent upon our enemy (the Chinese Communist Party) for pharmaceuticals, wind turbines, and batteries for the costly and ineffective electric vehicles (EVs), that are totally dependent upon fossil fuels for their recharging, and for the many materials that adorn them. Half of our Nation, in opposition to the current government, has been declared to be terrorists and their speech is canceled, many arrested, and some now reside in prison for simply practicing our Constitution’s right “. . . to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” That’s Amendment I to our Constitution in case you forgot. What kind of “fruit” is the current government providing for you? If you find the going more difficult, money tighter, and maybe your FREEDOM and LIBERTY slipping away, then maybe we are being led by “ravenous wolves” in “sheep’s clothing”. They talk a good talk, but their walk if far from their proclamations. EVACUATIONS are only one of many indications that our Nation is on the wrong track, being led by the wrong people. If you like the direction our Nation is on, then go ahead and vote for more of the same. You will deserve what you will get. If on the other hand you prefer our Nation to be a light to the world, to illuminate a better path toward peace and safety, toward the healing of divisions and strife, toward the return to a nation where laws are just, where they are followed, and where they apply equally, not equitably, to all, then you must vote for a change in our National leadership. Encourage those you know to do the same, for to fail to do your part could be the one vote that leads to the destruction of our Nation, and what a shame that would be for all those who have given their lives to secure this Nation, and what a shame for our prodigy who might live in a nation not known for giving its citizens FREEDOM and LIBERTY.

Most of us are pretty familiar with the short video clip above from the 1939 movie, “The Wizard of Oz”. Those who were seeking resolutions to their individual predicaments, found that they were being manipulated by the man behind the curtain. What they thought to be true actually was an illusion created and spread by false tales. If you haven’t seen the movie, we will leave the satisfactory ending to your viewing pleasure. We are often easily mesmerized and tricked by one who practices prestidigitation, an illusionist. Some will even believe it to be pure magic, for they never will desire to pier “behind the curtain”.

In many of our life’s decisions, we are often provided with choices. We can go left or right, up or down, in or out, back up or continue straight ahead. But we have become a “trained” populace to be obedient to choices made for us, and many of those are for our own good and to our benefit. A “WRONG WAY” sign on a freeway entrance will be an indication of an incorrect choice for travel, one that could lead to our injury or injury to others. Without question, we heed the sign and do not enter. Other choices are made for us, like staying home because of a “pandemic”, or needing to wear a mask and get certain injections. These were choices forced upon us without our full understanding of the serum’s development and potential risks. We have been “trained” to believe everything our current government tells us, and we were willing to offer our compliance.

Our Nation seems divided when it comes to the security of our election systems. Election integrity is vital to our being assured that our legal vote is counted properly. We have probably heard the phrase, “Election or Selection”. When we vote, do our votes add up to provide the “election”, or is something going on “behind the curtain” turning our apparent votes into an actual “selection”, chosen by “the man behind the curtain”. “The quote by Joseph Stalin, ‘The people who cast the votes don’t decide an election, the people who count the votes do’, is a thought-provoking statement that challenges the traditional understanding of democracy. At its core, the quote suggests that the individuals who hold the power to count and tally the votes wield an incredible influence on the outcome of an election, potentially superseding the collective will of the voters.” (socratic-method.com.) If even one person questions the validity of our election processes, then our government cannot claim a totally fair, unbiased, fault-free election system.

It is therefore vital that every step needs to be taken in order to make our election processes as fault-free as possible leading to the greatest confidence in our voting system for the greatest number of our citizens. With that in mind, we want to ask a very simple question. So many on the left of the political spectrum seem adamant about voters not having to provide identification to prove citizenship in order to vote. Here is some background to consider. Our Naton has been “trained” to every 10 years provide a Census of our populace. If the desire is to know how many U.S. citizens are in our Nation, then one would want to have on the U.S. Census form a block to ask the participant whether or not they are actually a citizen of the U.S. However, that question was denied its inclusion into our last Census. Here-in lies the purpose for its exclusion. The number of responses to the U.S. Census determines the number of National Representatives allowed by each state to serve in Congress. The larger the number of Census participants, the greater the likelihood of a greater number of Representatives for that state. So, it behooves each state to obtain as many “citizen” respondents as possible, and this includes all who reside in that state, whether legal or illegal, whether a citizen or an alien. The larger number of Representatives in a state, the greater the power in Congress over our policies and procedures within our Nation, and how our tax dollars are spent. What this boils down to is that those who are not allowed to legally vote in our Nation, are able to inflate the Representative numbers in Congress and thereby help to control the legislative agendas and directions of our Nation. Illegal aliens do not then have to vote to sway the course of our Nation, they only have to be included in our U.S. Census.

Our election processes are a critical infrastructure for our Nation. If our voting system breaks down, in anyway, whether by faulty voting systems or procedures, or surreptitiously stuffing our Representative influences through a flawed Census system, multiple catastrophic occurrences within our Nation are not only possible, but they are also predictable. Do not succumb to THE ILLUSION OF CHOICE. Be aware that there are individuals “behind the curtain” who are actively pulling the levers and turning the wheels of power to their will. We are “WE THE PEOPLE”. If our voices are diminished by illegal alien numbers in our U.S. Census, FREEDOM of speech, muted by mis-dis-mal-information controlling entities (from a dictatorial government to a biased media, infiltrated by political ideologies), can and will punish verbal dissent. Free speech is being muted by claiming those who profess opposing views or ideology to be extremists or terrorists. We already know that voting and tabulating election systems have been proven to be hackable. We already know our Nation’s infrastructure is under constant cyber-attack by foreign entities. Our very LIBERTY within our Nation is at risk of being lost and added to the list of national failures in antiquity. For now, all that can be done is to out-vote those who aim to suppress our God-given rights. Your job is to vote as if our Nation’s life is at stake. For it is.
