J. R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings “. . . is an epic high-fantasy novel . . . set in Middle-earth, intended to be Earth at some distant time in the past . . . ” “[The] story began as a sequel to Tolkien’s 1937 children’s book ‘The Hobbit’, but eventually developed into a much larger work. Written in stages between 1937 and 1949, The Lord of the Rings is one of the best-selling books ever written . . .” (Wikipedia). “. . . Tolkien’s influences span across both mythology and Christianity . . .” (CBR.com, May 15, 2022). His writings include Elves, Dwarves (small underground miners), Orcs and Goblins, Men, Uruk-hai (hybrid of Orcs and Men), Orgs and Trolls, Ents (talking/walking trees), Wizards, Hobbits (humble/peaceful form of little people), and many bad creatures (like dragons and huge spiders), Wargs (like ridable wolves) and many evil beings. “. . . themes can be seen [throughout the writings including] in the presence of good versus evil, humility triumphing over greed, themes of death and resurrection, and compassion and healing.” (CBR.com, May 15, 2022.) “One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.” (goodreads.com.) Three rings were given to the Elves, each one giving individual powers. Seven rings were given to the Dwarves, giving enhanced lifespans and talents. Nine rings were given to men, and also provided enhanced life spans, but also corrupted them through wealth and power. There were other rings, but merely trinkets with limited power. “The master of all the Rings of Power was the One Ring To Rule Them All. Forged by Sauron to control the wearers of all other Rings of Power, this was the most powerful Ring in the history of Lord of the Rings. The One ring had a peculiar ability to seek out the strongest of suitors. The stronger its wielder was, the quicker the One Ring managed to corrupt him.” (fandomwire.com, February 5, 2021.) In this blog we would like to draw an analogy to the nine rings given to men as we look to current world event leaders in power. You might select other leaders than the ones we have chosen, and there are many to choose from, but you have to draw the line somewhere to lower the number to just nine.
We want to make it clear, that all the ones we have chosen have been corrupted by power and wealth. We are also emphatically stating that we live in a world today in a battle of good verses evil. Some of the evil we can see and easily recognize, but sometimes, like the wind in the trees, we cannot see some evil but can sense its presence by its effects. If you believe in a Creator, and you see and feel a Spiritual component in your life, then you would also call this a Spiritual war. No one is ignorant of evil that effects our world today. We see the powerful begin and continue wars. We see violence in our streets, schools and homes where innocent people are hurt or killed. We recognize the slide away from faith in a Creator, to a slide toward humanistic atheism and transhumanism. We in effect are constructing our own Tower of Babel, as we reach out to be like gods ourselves. Do we hear and recognize the words “Danger Will Robinson”? (A robot’s warning to the young boy on the old TV series, “Lost in Space”.) Now that you know our premise for this blog, let us look at our nine chosen ones who are now wielding their rings of power.
There are many people in our world today who wield an enormous amount of power and influence. All of us are impacted by what they do, unlike most of us who leave footprints upon society barely noticeable to those who follow us in life. Our NINETH ring of power goes to the President of China, Xi Jinping. Over the last several years he has led his nation with the assistance of the Peoples Liberation Army and the Communist Chinese Party to become the most politically and economically influential person in our world today. He seeks world dominance and has created a military unrivalled in size and scope ensuring his path forward. If you buy anything, there is a good chance it has been either made in China, or the materials that constructed it came from China. His reach is deep into all American homes.
Our EIGHTH ring of power goes to Mark Zuckerberg. As the founder of Facebook, now changing its name to Meta, he has reached into most civilized homes around the world, connecting people in a way that precludes and supplants personal contact, allowing anyone to lie about who they are, and what they really do or did, He was also instrumental in using his vast wealth to influence voting in many states across our Nation by restricting what some could see and hear through stifling speech and focusing chosen narratives. He also created voting drop boxes in certain areas against state statutes and laws, and funded organizations rallying to only one political party. Your vote in the most recent Presidential election was diluted because of his power and wealth.
Our SEVENTH ring of power goes to Doctor Anthony Fauci, our Nation’s highest paid employee. As head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, he over sees the institutes financial budget, this year topping in at approximately $6.3 billion. He was the one who allowed funding of the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan China which was the source of the COVID-19 pandemic that killed millions worldwide. He often lied about his involvement in the creation of the virus, and often used misdirection and guile to aid pharmaceuticals in the marketing, sale and distribution of vaccines making the creators wealthy in the process. If you got a vaccination, or know someone who did, then you have been touched in a very bad way by his hand.
Our SIXTH ring of power goes to Attorney General Merrick Garland. As our Nation’s top cop, he has seen fit to turn his back on the invasion of illegal aliens crossing our southern border, and instead has made the job of our Border Patrol and ICE agents nearly impossible to perform as prescribed by law. He has chosen to ignore the plight of our Nation’s citizens on the border as they have been overwhelmed with criminal behaviors, and had their livelihoods upended. Instead, he has chosen to make honest law-abiding citizens the target of his department, choosing to call them the Nation’s top terrorist threat. He has jailed citizens who exercised their legal and just rights to protest and left many languishing in jail for months without speedy trials, and many layered with multiple misdemeanors, while he allows criminals to often skate with no or limited bail. He has targeted the parents of our children, those who question the validity of our elections and processes, and most who seem opposed to the ideologies of the current administration, denying the legal right to freedom of speech, and the right to seek redress at our Nation’s Capital. If you have recognized at times a two-tier judicial system in our Nation today, then you have a bone to pick with our top cop.
Our FIFTH ring of power goes to Klaus Schwab, a German engineer, economist, and the founder of the World Economic Forum, an organization comprised only of the richest people on earth who have only one goal in mind, and that being global dominance of ideologies, economies, and the control of all nation states. If he gets his way, you will become a surf having very little in the way of possessions, while he and his cohorts become more wealthy owning and controlling everything he and his organization can consume. If you have a distaste for the rich flying their private jets all over the world, while claiming you need to ride a bike or drive an electric car, then you will understand his intent for your life.
Our FOURTH ring of power goes to Senator Chuck Schumer, the democratic leader of our National Senate. Here is a man who will say one thing in one decade, then flip in the next. His ultimate purpose is to see to it that everyone in the United States bows to his authority as leader of the Senate. He will say what his ideology demands of him, without regard for you as a citizen of this Nation. One thing he does that is extremely effective, is that he can somehow ensure that all of his Democrat Senators always walk to a unified beat. He has taught them all through his control of financial support and committee assignments to walk and talk only his way. If you often wonder how it is possible that all Democrat Senators always seem to march in step, then you have recognized his power.
Our THIRD ring of power goes to Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives. She claims solid Catholic beliefs but champions the slaughter of millions of babies in the womb. She, along with her husband, have always seemed to pick the right investments to make at just the right time, and have become multimillionaires in the process. One has to wonder what she knows and when she knows things about economic business leanings and political breaks given to certain corporations and enterprises. Maybe it is not so surprising since she, and she alone, sets the agenda for what can and cannot be discussed in the House of Representatives. Don’t you wish you could be a fly on the wall in some of these discussions? If you have not always gotten the financial breaks in your stock ownership, then you are not in the same league with the Congresswoman.
Our SECOND ring of power goes to Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft. As one of the wealthiest persons in the world, it has been his goal to see to the diminishing of the world’s population through the use of advanced medical technological thinking and the use of vaccines that have ended up killing millions world-wide. His money flows into, and controls, the World Health Organization. His vast wealth reaches deep into our National core, influencing many policies and dictates, all the while as he enriches himself. Many, including Non-Governmental Organizations, bow their knee to his offerings of money, giving way to common sense, moral responsibility, and self-determination. If you use or have access to an electronic communication device, then you have been influenced by this man, and in many ways, he has changed your life to be more like the life he wants you to live.
Finally, our FIRST ring of power goes to none other than the current occupant of our White House, Joseph Biden. Although not a bright man, and having been on the wrong side of every major foreign policy decision in the last four decades (according to Robert Gates, the former Secretary of Defense under the Obama administration), he has found himself throwing out executive orders and making foolish decisions, while ignoring the proper ones, as he has directed our Nation into its worst financial crisis in over 40 years. If you had trouble finding formula for your baby, questioned the method of withdrawal from Afghanistan, wondered why our Nation’s southern border is being invaded, why our stock market is plunging, why our interest rates are soaring, why our gas prices are so high, why he can’t even get out a cogent thought without a teleprompter or typed out notes on a card giving him directions he is to follow . . . . need we go on . . . . if none of this is a concern to you, then you better check your pulse, because you are dead! This man sets the tone and direction of our Nation. He is getting us involved in a war that we are not able to fight. He emboldens our enemies to push limits further to see how far they can go without our Nation’s significant national response. He is a puppet on a string. He seeks out the power through emergency declarations, and his ring of power is consuming him, and our Nation in turn.
The ring of power he holds, as well as all the others, are under the control of “One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.” The evil force within this Nation, and the world at large, controls all the rings of power, enticing through wealth and power, and the more powerful the person believes him or her to be, the stronger the pull of the evil force. If we as individuals submit to this evil force, the battle for our FREEDOM and LIBERTY within our Nation will be lost, not only for us, but for those who follow us in life. What will those who preceded us in death, those who gave their lives to establish this Nation, what will they say to us? Will we be found worthy in their eyes?
