Turned 66 in August of 2019, a little over a year into retirement. Now live on my farm in southern Missouri Ozarks. At this point I have 4 daughters and 8 grandchildren and 3 dogs.

Fruit of the Pure at Heart

One bucketful with my old backhoe and I could tell right away that I was into some really good dirt. I guess a lot of folks don’t know good dirt when they see it, or maybe there’s a lot of people who’ve never had the opportunity to work with soil and so wouldn’t be able to distinguish one type of dirt from another, but I’ve been working gardens and such for decades, and this loam from the edge of the woods looks and smells like it belongs under some tomato plants.

I took the opportunity this morning to remove a big old plum tree from my back yard. The thing just hasn’t produced any plums for several years now. It sends root runners out into my garden and plum saplings are constantly shooting up from the roots and always in places where I don’t want them. That tree was a sort of landmark here and I had mixed emotions about getting rid of it. My dogs seem to feel the same because it was a good shade tree for those hot summer days of dripping doggie tongues, but it’s out of there now and we’re all just going to have to get used to it. There are plenty of shade trees out there. Filling the hole in the yard is where the fresh dirt comes in.

While I was tugging at the stump with the backhoe I was reminded of that fig tree that Jesus cursed for the same reason I got rid of my plum tree – non-productivity. He used the incident with the tree to demonstrate to us how He feels about things (or people) that do not avail themselves of opportunity to bear fruit. He wasn’t pleased to say the least. There are several ways to bear fruit for Jesus, He said that if we even give a disciple a cup of water there’s a reward for us. We have opportunities all the time to encourage our brothers and sisters to hold fast to their faith.

If we know that we are supposed to bear fruit to the glory of the Lord and yet do not do so, we might find ourselves in the same predicament as that fig tree. When I first read that passage about that fig tree, my interpretation was that Jesus was hungry and went to the tree for a fig to eat and was disappointed and angry because He was hungry and there was nothing to eat on what should have been a fruitful tree. I should have known better, Jesus just ain’t that shallow nor vindictive. He knew what it was like to be hungry. No, He was, as is typical for Him, using the incident as a teaching moment – all the way to the next day when the tree was dead and shriveled up. Did you get the message? I must admit, it took me a while, but the more I come to know Jesus and His ways, the easier things like that are to understand.

Jesus’ ministry is full of lessons for us if we but open our eyes and hearts to His remarkable truth. His time to establish His covenant and His ministry was very short, so every word He spoke had profound meaning – He didn’t waste words or opportunities to make impactful lessons for His followers. He continues to do so today, if we choose to listen with our hearts. He said in the Sermon on the Mount that blessed are the pure at heart for they shall see God. Wow! But didn’t the scriptures say that we cannot lay eyes on God or we would die? What did Jesus mean by saying the pure at heart shall see God? This one is yet another opportunity to understand Him, for we know from scriptures that one day we will all stand before – and thus see – God; even the not pure at heart will see God then, so what did He mean?

He was speaking of the here and now, we have the opportunity to see God, not with our eyes, but with our hearts. But only if that heart is pure; honest, and never trying to fool ourselves into believing things that go against Jesus’ teaching. If we are completely honest with our Lord, even about things that make us uncomfortable or ashamed, it’s only then that we can allow Jesus to teach us things – more often than not, things about ourselves – and chastise us when we’re wrong, and a window miraculously opens that blesses us with the opportunity to experience fellowship with the Almighty in ways we never imagined. We “see” God in nature, in His Word, in the heavens, in the hearts of our fellow travelers, and this simply as a result of surrendering our foolish pride to a hitherto unexperienced and unpracticed purity, or honesty with God, but just as crucially, with ourselves.

The kind of purity of heart to which Jesus refers is of a profound nature and of necessity cannot be casually inculcated. It might require a complete rethinking of our political leanings – we might find ourselves entertaining notions we would otherwise have rejected in our quest for this consummate fellowship with God. Maybe we stop and fish our wallet out to help that beggar we always held in disdain because we were so convinced he could get a job if he was worth his salt. We come to realize things like those “illegal” aliens we have always abhorred might just deserve a bit of empathy and maybe even some help to get a leg up in a callous world that has been cruel to them at every turn. When you determine to become pure at heart as Jesus means it, you begin a journey that you will be on for the rest of your life if you are sincere.

Then at some point, like being hit with a bale of hay going sixty miles an hour, you will realize that you actually can see God – it’ll be so obvious when you realize that you could have seen Him all along – if only you’d been looking with your heart instead of your eyes. When we are admonished to watch as well as pray, this is the same sense – we are to watch with our hearts as well as our eyes. When we see evil overtaking the world, we have the full opportunity to see it for what it is and not what some talking head tells us, because God has given us a conscience as our moral compass to guide us. Many people can be convinced that some evil thing is somehow good if they do not have a moral bearing from the Holy Spirit. That’s one of the many things that separates the believers from those who are not pure at heart.

Walk confidently through this journey, always remembering He is beside you at every step. When something goes awry, take courage that you are not facing it alone. Pray for the purity of heart of which this post speaks, and be prepared for some uncomfortable bumps in the road for the Lord promises that He chastises those He loves, and it’s not always pleasant while it’s happening, but if you are sincere, you’ll come out a better person for it. A better person with increasing purity of heart which will increasingly allow you to “see” God. And you’ll also find yourself becoming a fruitful tree.

May the blessings of the Almighty Father find and keep us.

Meditating on the World in a Springtime Wood

On a damp springtime morning here in the Ozarks as the soft grey humidity-laden breeze plows through a greening wood, it’s easy to lose oneself to the allure of this renewal of warmth beneath a verdant canopy. Birds are busy in their never-ending pursuit of twigs, pieces of string, and whatever other oddments they choose with which to build new homes for the hatchlings they are sure to inherit soon. They sing merrily as they pursue their tasks, adding new melodies to the gala of spring.

Birds and other creatures ever play their roles in the eternal drama of nature as warm days set in to grace the Ozark woodlands and hills. Last year’s broods already know how to go about gathering foliage and I’m sure the little hen birds are busy telling their mates exactly how to build the nest. After all, she will be the one setting in it. Of all the wild birds round here, the little wrens are among my favorites. I did a post a couple of years ago about a mama wren that halted my construction of a little cabin I built in the woods until her fledglings could fly.

I live in a pretty old farmhouse here in the Missouri Ozarks. That’s suitable – a pretty old house for a pretty old geezer with a couple of pretty old dogs. Nothing pretty in the aesthetic sense, except for my old girl Dusty; at least I think she’s still a pretty girl. Getting ornery though in her old age. That may be something contagious that can cross species, because I could swear I feel ornery once in a while myself. Maybe it’s just due to grandkids running amok with their eyeballs glued to cell phones or some such. Maybe orneryness is just something that comes with the turf of getting old. But then, there are other things happening in the wide world around us these days that add to the sour mood.

Speaking of getting old, it just stands to reason that over the years, we pick up on lots of stuff, at least if we walk through this journey with our eyes open. That’s a profound concept for a lot of people – sitting in front of a television and allowing some corporate news organization to pump your brain full of some politically motivated propaganda is not walking with open eyes. I just read some statistics on how American rates of literacy compares to other nations, especially China and Russia, and it’s pretty remarkable how our educational system has failed us over the years as everyone else’s have improved their lot. Americans are rapidly becoming among the least educated people in the world. If one indeed has his eyes open, it can easily be seen – political slogans longer than bumper stickers are too confusing for most of us anymore. Lack of education and/or critical thinking skills provides fertile ground for propaganda.

Reason and intellectual curiosity are relics of the past in MAGA America, and the liberal side is just as bad. It seems that no one is willing to consider any side of an argument that conflicts with their own – that might require some degree of empathy for our fellow human beings and we don’t do empathy anymore. At least most folks don’t. Hatred, selfishness, and racism are about as rampant as I’ve ever seen them. Wars are being waged all around the world, and I’m fairly certain the USA is getting ready to see some tough times right here in the land of the free.

Earthquakes, volcanoes, and storms, the likes of which we’ve rarely seen are beating this old rock we call home. There are floods almost everywhere, landslides, sinkholes, and earthquakes in places where they’ve not occurred before – at least in our time. To be able to appreciate the significance of events that are happening I think it is imperative that we avail ourselves of the abundance of information in our society. The internet has opened up volumes of information and to ignore it and all of the other sources of knowledge is walking with your eyes closed. Fox News isn’t going to tell you everything you need to know, nor is CNN, MSNBC, nor any of the other corporate media. Thanks to the internet, though, we have ample other sources, it’s just a task to sift through the garbage out there and find real information. I’ve found that the best way for me to find truth is to bounce “news” stories against what the Bible says. Jesus said He was the Way and the TRUTH, and I believe Him, so if what we hear and see comports with what He taught, it’s certain to be the truth.

For instance, He spoke against murder and persecution of the innocent, so if there’s some propaganda story attempting to justify the murder of Palestinian children, you automatically know the story is false and coming from evil sources. This can be a problem for many who have spent years feeding at the media trough and buying into everything the mass media puts out, but you have to start somewhere. Jesus spoke of forgiveness, so when you see a program that tries to get your dander up against some or other happening in the world, they almost always play on your emotions to try and make you angry or hate, say illegal aliens, but the Bible says not to turn away an alien [Malachi 3:5]; “And I will come near you for judgment; I will be a swift witness against sorcerers, against adulterers, against perjurers, against those who exploit wage earners and widows and orphans, and against those who turn away an alien—
Because they do not fear Me,” says the Lord of hosts.

The lands we live on do not belong to us – the Lord has merely given us stewardship of things and places that belong to Him. Psalm 24:1: “The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell therein.” He fully expects us – His people – to share what we have with the less fortunate. The worldly folks who control the media would have us at each other’s throats fighting over something that doesn’t even belong to us, but those same wealthy people who promote such don’t realize that what they have doesn’t belong to them either. If it did, they could take it with them when they depart this life, but they can’t. One day, much to their chagrin, they will find out what the true believers already know from reading the Bible. If you stop and think about it, eternity is an unimaginably long time, and this episode of events we call life is so temporary as to be like the grass of the fields, and the only reason we are here is to have opportunity to choose where we want to spend forever – in a dark, lonely, and terrifying place, or in paradise with the Father and the Lamb. That’s what it all boils down to.

So while I sit out in the woods watching and listening to God’s creation – the birds, the squirrels, and enjoy the little slice of Heaven upon which the Lord has blessed me to live, I contemplate things like the sad condition of the world. I think about those lost souls who are currently – and so temporarily in control of – and hoarding for themselves – the great resources and wealth of the earth and wonder what it will take to get people, common people like myself, to see that the things that they are being told about the goings on in the world are falsehoods and the world is slipping, inexorably into an abyss from which it will not – cannot – escape without Divine guidance. And for us servants of Christ, that Divine guidance involves putting away hatred and anger we have all been encouraged to foment in our consciousness – by the very mouths of Satan. We have some time left to practice things like love, charity, and forgiveness which are the traits of the chosen and faithful.

Now it looks like it’s going to rain here in the hills; these are harmless clouds of springtime and not the dark and ominous clouds swirling over an evil world – no, this will be a refreshing, cool spring shower.

May the blessing of the Almighty Father find and keep us.

Volcanoes, Weather Aberrations and Gardens

In the last few days I’ve been trying to get my garden growing, but this year there is something different going on. It seems as though every morning when I begin stirring, it’s a lot colder out than normal for this time of year. All of my eggplant seedlings have died, and none of the young plants are growing like they should. I think it’s the cool nights – down in the forties every night – that are causing the problem.

While pondering the reason for the cooler than normal weather, I recalled seeing several news sources reporting on an exceptional number of volcanoes currently erupting. This along with scientific evidence that the aerosols injected into the atmosphere interfere with the natural warming of the sun by reflecting heat – well that just might be an explanation. If so – and several geologists are predicting more and possibly larger eruptions currently being brought to boil – we might be seeing the beginnings of climate cooling, at least to some degree.

There is geologic evidence of some pretty catastrophic weather fluctuations caused by major eruptions in the past, in fact, probably the most devastating volcanic activity took place in Russia in what they call the Siberian Traps, which fortunately for humanity happened millions of years ago. There were volcanoes that covered a massive area that apparently erupted continually for around two million years and sulfur dioxide polluted the world’s atmosphere to the extent that it caused a great extinction they call the Permian-Triassic extinction that almost wiped out life on the whole planet. There are areas over there where entire cliffs of large basaltic columns that formed as the volcanic material cooled and have stood for millions of years in silent testimony to that near life-ending event.

Much later in the earth’s geologic history, in fact, within recorded history, there have been humongous volcano eruptions that affected the climate for varying periods of time, depending on the size and severity of the event. Tambora, Krakatoa, and Pinatubo come to mind. The “year without a summer” in 1816 was precipitated by the major 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora. This event caused crop failures and food shortages across the whole Northern Hemisphere. The world suffered the coldest summer in human history in 1816.

Today Mount Etna in Sicily continues to burp out Lava and ash, The big Hawaiian shield volcano of Kilauea continues to pump out rivers of lava, Iceland’s volcano near Grindavik is alive and pouring. There are others, such as Karymsky on Kamchatka, Semeru in Indonesia, and Santiaguito in Guatemala to name a few, which are currently active and erupting. Campi Flegrei, a super volcano, Santorini, and Mount Vesuvius have recently undergone earthquake swarms, which some scientists believe to be precursors of volcanic activity. If Campi Flegri has a major eruption, there will be hundreds of thousands if not millions of people in imminent and immediate danger, with unforeseeable – but ever problematic – consequences to the world’s climate.

I’ve mentioned in other posts some of the volcanic calderas such as Campi Flegrei, Lake Toba, Mono Lake, and of course everyone knows about Yellowstone, but any of these dormant monsters could wreak havoc on the whole planet if they were to undergo a major eruption. There are a lot of pieces to what looks like a great geologic puzzle, and even though there are a lot of smart folks studying it, not all of the disciplines of geology, astronomy, and physics are able to connect the dots. For instance, do the guys who study the earth’s geology take into account the effects of solar radiation, especially in light of the undisputed weakening of our magnetic field? It seems like there’s just too much going on for any one discipline to understand how everything connects.

Campi Flegrei caldera at Pozzuoli, Italy

One scientist whom I watch with some degree of regularity says he has evidence, that if properly interpreted suggests that as part of the earth’s magnetic polarity reversal (which we are currently undergoing) there might be an “unlocking” of the crust from the mantle. This means that the entire crust will shift around on the semi-liquid inner parts of the world and all the surface features of the planet will relocate to other places. He says it could even result in entire oceans and continents moving somewhat rapidly and that the axis of rotation – what we now know as the north and south poles – would end up like in the Sahara and the western Pacific or some such. Of course, he thinks great tsunamis would accompany such crustal displacements such as would wash over low areas of entire continents. I’m not a geologist by a long stretch, but increases in volcanic activity around the world such as we are seeing these days would seem to be a reasonable indication of something big going on beneath our feet, whatever it might be.

I guess we can but wait and see what God has in store and how He chooses to end it, but the Bible says the world will end in fire, so volcanoes just might bring about the end, and maybe not in the form of a volcanic winter, but in a hellish nightmare of fire and lava. Volcanoes could indeed account for the darkening of the sun in prophecy, and the burned-down modern-day Babylon. But the details and timing of it all remain a mystery.

Meanwhile I’m going to keep trying to grow eggplants…

The Vicious Resolve of a Bear Provoked

Free Trees Bushes photo and picture

Be it within the icy taiga or beneath mounds of silent rime and deep snow in dark Vorkuta, there lies a fortitude unknown in the hearts of those outside, a determination, a resolute patriotism secretly envied by Europe and the world. Many times has she been assailed by hordes of opportune strangers and many times has she responded with absolute and complete dedication to the preservation of her peoples and their way of life. Napoleon Bonaparte learned how vicious she becomes when enemies knock on her door. Hitler and his Nazi army learned.

The outside world cannot seem to grasp that Mother Russia and her people simply desire to be left alone to enjoy the Volga, the Lena, and the mighty volcanic vistas of Kamchatka. Nomadic reindeer herders on the expansive taiga prefer to be out with their herds, but when called to defend their homes and their posterity, they will put down their whips and axes to answer. And answer with all the enthusiasm of a man whose family and livelihood are threatened, they will. The same can be said for the factory worker in Saint Petersburg, or the dedicated farmers of the agrarian steppe.

As an American, I can but look with admiration at a nation which, against all odds at various times, has emerged from military and economic threats to prosper in a world that too often wishes them ill. Their leaders have repeatedly appealed to the better judgement of their “colleagues” both in Europe and abroad to improve relationships and trade, only to invariably discover treachery in their dealings. The Minsk “agreements” are but one of many examples. As war with Ukraine was impending, the west agreed to measures that would prevent conflict, only to later renege, as Germany’s Angel Merkel later admitted, the Minsk accords were simply a feint to allow more time to arm the Ukraine and prepare for war against Russia, the other signatory of the “agreement”. The west never had any intention to abide by the Minsk terms.

During the Reagan years, the US promised via Jim Wright that if the Soviet Union would but “tear down that wall”, the NATO pact nations would never move an inch eastward. That was before several more former Soviet nations, such as Hungary, Poland, Bulgaria, and several others joined NATO at the behest of the “west”. So much for Jim Wright’s promise, but then the Russians are used to being betrayed. That doesn’t mean they like it, or that they will forever tolerate it.

After theatrics that would make a circus master envious, the current American president has ceased to pretend there is a desire for peace and amicable relations with Russia, and again has resorted to typical western treachery, such as resuming arms to Ukraine. The Ukrainians have launched many moves and attacks into Russia proper – the ill-fated Kursk foray was but one such attack; a high-ranking Russian general was just recently assassinated, an act for which Vladimir Putin chose not to publicly assign blame to western intelligence, but he knows where it came from. He won’t forget. He never does.

When the current US president was inaugurated, with his less hostile approach to Vladimir Putin, there seemed to be reason for optimism that east-west relations might improve and we all might be able to breathe somewhat more freely in the hope that the world might not be on the edge of nuclear annihilation, but now that Donald Trump has assumed the role of bear-poker in chief and America is now publicly once again arming her enemies, one wonders how far away Russia might be from once more exercising her formidable military option outside the Ukraine in defense of the Russian homeland.

Britian is yapping like a poodle, and Putin has repeatedly warned the UK to at least make sure all Britons know how to swim, but their false bravado continues. Makes one think of that last wolf in the pack that still tries to confront the great bear after the rest of the pack has decided to think better of it, but he’s sure that if he can get an attack started the others will come to his rescue – but the retreating pack called it off for a reason, and they are unlikely to return. If provoked to war, the bear will show no mercy. Let’s hope somehow reason and common sense might surface in the west before this gets really ugly. Then maybe those reindeer nomads can stay peacefully with their herds.

Perils of Serving the Wrong Master – Here and Beyond

Jerusalem burns, flames fanned by high winds. Southern Israel experiences a huge sandstorm blown in from one of the many Mediterranean area deserts. Although the (mostly European descended) people who have moved into the Holy Land are not indigenous to the area, they have arrogated to themselves the identity of those who do have legitimate claim. They seem to be hell-bent on destroying the last of the true semitic peoples, the Palestinians, in Israel.

The once upstanding United States has become the number one supporter in the genocide being perpetrated on the Gazans, and by doing so, has become possibly the most hated nation on earth. Trump has ordered US military forces to attack the Houthis, the only country in the world that can be seen as heroic in their efforts to help the intensely suffering Gazans, although the Hezbollah group in Lebanon put up a valiant effort for a while, before a multinational coalition put an end to Syria as the world knew it. Lebanon got a president installed who looks to be pro-western, i.e., easily bought – so Hezbollah is in a precarious situation for now. The Houthis continue unabated despite heavy bombardment from what appears to be a hopelessly incompetent Trump led military. For Netanyahu – anagram of Yemen – enemy!

All in all, it looks like a pretty dismal situation for people who prefer peace and especially for folks who hate to see the starving children of Gaza. A flotilla of intended aid for the Gazans was attacked by Israeli drones en route similar to how Israel blocked the Turkish aid boat Mavi Marmara in 2010, but that time they actually boarded a boat and killed some people. Erdogan bloviated as usual, but did not respond effectively, also as usual.

The world sees the evil of the Gaza genocide for what it is, but when decent folks call it out, the perps don’t seem to mind, in fact if I didn’t know better, I’d swear they enjoy the publicity – they LIKE being regarded as evil. When someone likens Benjamin Netanyahu to Satan, he takes it as a compliment, like his boss (Satan) will be proud of him for being seen as Satanic. Jesus said these people who call themselves Jews but art not, are a synagogue of Satan and they seem to know it. There’s a video I happened to see a few days ago about an incident some time ago after the Zionists burned a little 18-month-old boy alive and word got out about it and the civilized world were shocked by it’s repugnance, wherein the Zionists, to demonstrate their arrogance, threw a big party and were dancing joyfully with sign posters of pictures of the little boy and celebrating that evil act – and videoing it! That was something you might expect to see in some burning corner of hell with demons dancing and shouting to celebrate an unimaginably horrid evil event. And there it was for all the world to see – the kind of evil these people perpetrate on the world, and we send them bombs.

There are also places in the pits of hell reserved for Joe Biden and Donald trump which they have earned themselves by supplying support for genocide, but there are so many others – John Hagee, Mike Huckabee (at one time I thought he was a respectable Christian person – boy was I wrong!), almost the entire US Congress and Senate, the vile Supreme Court – especially the vile Roberts who was appointed by the equally vile George Bush. Bush supported Israel by launching the murderous Iraq war. Anyone who even remotely supports Israel in its headlong rush to hell killing so many innocent people will find themselves on the wrong side of things when they face judgement. The witch Madeline Albright may already be roasting, but there are other witches equally culpable – Nikky Haley, Victoria Nuland and Hillary Clinton come to mind.

At some point I would not be surprised if this crowd will finally just openly declare their support for Satan and I also won’t be surprised to see congregations of megachurches following along. They already do in reality, but there might still be a few well-meaning but deceived members who actually believe they are following the Christian Way who will finally see guys like Hagee, Osteen, and Copeland and so many more for who they really are, but for the life of me I don’t understand how these folks are allowing themselves to be so thoroughly deceived already. Maybe they should read their own Bibles instead of letting frauds like Hagee tell them what it says.

I follow some video channels where they speak of earthquakes and volcanoes on the increase. Some predict a huge solar event that will wreak havoc on life here on earth. We are continuing to stare down the barrel of a nuclear conflagration with no one (except maybe Vladimir Putin) trying to avoid it. Weather events of late have grown intense almost everywhere – rainstorms unlike anything the world has ever seen, tornadoes everywhere, even in places that don’t normally see them, floods all over the world are commonplace, a huge power outage in Europe completely shutting down whole countries, and we don’t seem to be able (or willing) to connect the dots to God’s displeasure at the growing evil in the world. These events are merely the beginning of sorrows – things will get much worse.

There’s a Way to deal with the impending disaster the world is facing. It’s found in the Bible and His name is Jesus Christ. He told us the road would get bumpy at the end and the evil of the world is the specific cause. The angels are already pouring out those bowls of disaster for humanity. We endured the Covid (and inoculation) scam, but that was just a sample of the plagues that loom. Our precious leaders have other depredations cooking in their biolabs and are just waiting for the orders to unleash them and I think they’re going to be much worse, much, much worse, than Covid.

All in all and according to prophecy, we haven’t seen anything yet. If I read Revelation 18 correctly, some country is about to get destroyed by a nuclear attack – I think it will be the US, although there is ample room to interpret that modern Babylon to be London or even Israel, but I think Israel has a big part to play in the very end, so it would be less apt to be the place leveled in Rev 18 – at least the way I read it. Besides, I once heard a preacher say that if God doesn’t destroy the US for its evil ways, then He owes Sodom and Gomorrah an apology – and I really believe the United States’ days are numbered. There has never been such a powerful and decadent place in the world, not even in ancient Rome or Athens.

Get out your Bible and read it – live by what it says, our time here is growing short. Stop chasing after wealth; when the end gets here, you’ll see the futility of it – all the riches of Elon Musk, George Soros, and the Zionist billionaires who run the world today will not avail them – in fact it will testify against them – you’ll see. Learn about Jesus Christ – store up your treasure in His Kingdom where it will be safe until we get there. Treasures such as help for the poor, loving our neighbors, a helping hand to an indigent old person – all these things can be considered to be deposits in the account that matters.

We have reached a point in history where we can no longer look to our leadership for guidance, nor can we rely on their wisdom and judgement – they are all in it for the money and power. They no longer look out for the interests of their countries, the only thing that matters to them, the only thing that guides their decision-making, is how much wealth they can gain by what they do. Remember the passage in the Bible when Satan tempted Jesus and offered Him all the wealth and power? Jesus turned Saan down, but there are a lot of rich guys in the world today who took the devil up on the same offer – now they must pay their debt to him – with the blood of innocent people and especially Christians. Hang on folks, it’s about to get crazy for believers.

May the blessings of the Almighty Father find and keep us.

A Promise for the Poor – the Salt of the Earth

This post is to reach people with no hope to convince them that they have good reason to hope. The key to understanding this is to be able to zoom out, as it were. We have to exercise the vision that the Almighty has so generously given us and see that the life we are caught up in right now is but a small part of a reality that is difficult – but not impossible – to comprehend. At least we have the opportunity to comprehend enough of it to understand where we fit in the grand scheme.

God, our Creator, left us a road map so that we can find Him. He also left us with the promise of another life after this one. There are many religions in our world, and they teach many differing accounts of our existence and our future, and I don’t want to get too far into what their adherents believe, because the intent of this post is to share what I have been taught by the Spirit of God. What I believe is real – God has brought me through storms in this life that I don’t see many others having to endure. I understand we all have our own bumpy roads to travel, and I can only speak of my own experiences. Following the road map that God left us has worked for me, and since it has, I’m bound to share what I have learned.

We all have a need to connect, a yearning in our hearts to learn what our lives are all about, and it’s like we all walk around with this electric cord in our hand looking for a place to plug it in. Once we locate the correct receptacle, we expect to be able to power up our inquisitive minds and find the answers we all seek. Ok, maybe that’s a weak analogy, but you get the idea. Please hear me out – I’m writing to tell you that the only place you can connect to find the meaning of life is Jesus Christ. He is the only Being in all of this crowded universe that can direct our paths to the Kingdom of the Almighty God. In the Holy Bible, He tells us: [John 14:6]:”Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.“

This passage gives us a lot of information if we study it. The Christian religion, for those who faithfully follow it, recognizes Jesus as the source of all truth. The religion of Islam even recognizes Jesus, who they call Isa, to be a great prophet, so if He is indeed a prophet, and prophets don’t lie, then when He says He is the only way to God, He is giving us the greatest bit of information a human being can embrace. I do not consider Christianity to only be another religion of many in the world. Jesus Christ stands triumphantly upon the top of all of the world’s religions. The very last thing I want to do is to offend anyone of any other faith, but I’m here to tell you that if you’ll just look at how the world is shaping up in these later days, you can easily see with which faith that Satan, from whence all evil emanates, has chosen to do battle. It is Christianity – faithful Christians are being persecuted and executed in several places in the world.

It’s painfully obvious that many peoples of all walks are dying in diverse places by the sword, but as opposed to ethnicities who have been historically persecuted because of their behavior, Christians are dying because of their faith. This has happened throughout history – Christians died before the crowds in the Roman coliseum. The Catholic church, in the dark ages a bastion of evil, burned Christian believers at the stake for heresy if their beliefs were not approved by the “church”. The Bible, in Revelations 12 metaphorically speaks of a woman giving birth to a male child and a vicious dragon (Satan) was standing before her to kill the child as soon as it was born, but the child (Jesus) was taken up to Heaven and the dragon waged war on the woman (the true Church) thereafter. The dragon is indeed waging war on Jesus’ people, but we do not fear him, for our Lord is greater. We may end up leaving this life as He did, but our reward awaits us in the next. When you’ve been around in this world as long as I have, you realize this world has nothing to offer – regardless of what the decadent wealthy people would have you think. Our time here is short, but the next life will last forever.

Jesus referred to us common folk as the salt of the earth, meaning we have more value than we realize, but we must keep our “flavor”. We must accept our stations in life, no matter how humble – in fact, the poor will inherit eternal life in the Kingdom of Heaven. [Luke 6:20]: “And he (Jesus) lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.” When we get caught up in the lusts and the desires of the world and choose to follow after the ways of the worldly people – the rich – we start to lose our flavor; our saltiness, and when this happens, we become worthless to Him. We are good for nothing anymore other than to be trampled underfoot by those people we want to be like. [Matthew 5:13]: “Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.”

You, no matter how poor, how hopeless, or destitute, are exactly the person that Jesus Christ is seeking to invite into His magnificent Kingdom. If you are burdened with a heavy load of sins from your past, He stands ready to forgive you and wash your sins away with His own precious blood. It is not humanly possible to understand how much He loves you. He died for you so that you would get this opportunity to accept His offer of eternal life, such is His desire to have fellowship, companionship with you. What a Friend! All authority on earth and in Heaven has been given to Him, and one day He will return to collect His people who will be given kingship with Him. The evil ones who run the world now – in service to Satan – will finally see justice. Unfortunately, a lot of people who are not in leadership positions but have lost their saltiness to desires of the flesh, will not be allowed into the Kingdom either.

Losing the chance to receive eternal life in the Paradise of God will be an unimaginable loss, and it is very easy to avoid. The only thing we have to do is to accept Jesus Christ for who He says He is, repent and be baptized into His Church. We must live for Him, and if the situation requires it, we must be prepared to die for Him as have so many martyrs before us. It might look to be a fearsome fate, but death is something we all must endure anyway, and it would be much easier to endure when the time comes, knowing that we are but moments from joining Him in Paradise.

Regardless of what Satan would have you believe, living for Jesus ain’t half bad. Choosing to live a Spiritual life gives us an opportunity to appreciate God’s creation in ways that worldly people don’t understand. We learn some meaningful things about our lives and the lives of others that we wouldn’t have explored without the Spirit to reveal them to us. Jesus said: [Revelation 2:17]: “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.” That hidden manna nourishes us spiritually and gives us knowledge that is only reserved for Jesus’ people, and it can only come from the Spirit of Jesus Christ.

Wherever you are, whatever your station in life, Jesus stands at the door of your heart and knocks. He said if you but open the door for Him that He would come into your heart and dine with you – and you with Him. That means He is ready to walk with you – all the way to that magnificent Kingdom He promises you – and Jesus Christ keeps His promises. Will you open the door?

Forget this world – there’s nothing here for decent people anyways. Look to the light of Jesus Christ’s salvation. I can promise you’ll be eternally glad you did. Please share this post with friends, relatives, and people you don’t know – our time here is getting very short and our love for Jesus and each other is all that matters now. This site is not monetized, so I don’t need the numbers – not on this earth anyways, but I would like to help the message of salvation get spread far and wide – especially to the salt of the earth in places like Appalachia, the Ozarks, and as far as the Tondo in Manila, Khayelitsha in Cape Town, Kibera in Nairobi, Dharavi in Mumbai, Ciudad Neza in Mexico City, Orangi Town in Karachi, Kangari in Nairobi, Mathre in Nairobi, Rocinha in Rio de Janero, Makoko in Lagos, and folks in Indonesia and Malaysia. Jesus loves you all! Remember that great angel flying across the world with the Gospel! [Revelation 14:6]: “And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people…”

May the blessings of the Almighty Father find and keep us.

An Ounce of Truth Destroys an Ocean of Lies

For all of my adult life – and I’m 71 years old, I have been blessed with the vision to see and enough wisdom to understand how the world has been taken over by those who serve Satan, namely those who call themselves Jews. Through all of these years, I’ve spoken to people about how this is happening, only heretofore to be regarded as looney – at least until these modern times as they have begun to show themselves as more and more folks belatedly come to understand what they’re doing. I’ve learned much about how these people operate, and to be truthful, I’m still learning, but I think the biggest mistake of most of us outside the tribe is to underestimate the degree(s) of evil they will undertake to achieve their goals. They kill their own people as soon – and with as much enthusiasm – as they kill an enemy when it suits their purpose. Google Hannibal Doctrine.

Connecting the dots can be a trying and complicated exercise when one tries to figure out how some of the machinations of pivotal worldly events happen; there’s always a pre-planned narrative for every event, and if the Zionist has any talent at all, it is for lying and deception. Anyone watching any speech by an ardent Zionist is amazed by the lies that flow from their tongues like a river. They lie about EVERYTHING, in fact one of the key methods to determine their guilt, intent, or any other facet of their behavior is to automatically discount anything they say. Or better yet, believe the exact opposite. This method also applies to discerning the veracity of statements from the US government, which sadly is under complete Zionist control, and has been for longer than most folks know. The accusation of “antisemitism” is also a lie, – none of them are semitic – maybe their biggest lie of all. As to their habit of lying, [John 8:44]: “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.“

To the casual observer, it might seem odd that the US government is – and has been for decades – burning its treasure in the middle east with no discernable benefit to America, but if one understood that the US congress and white house is under the complete domination of Zionists, then it becomes obvious. The Mideast nations with which the US goes to war are simply enemies of Israel, or nations that are sufficiently powerful to be able to refuse to bow to the Zionists. They have a completely deranged need to dominate, and when one looks at the measures taken by the US government against even college kids who protest against a genocide, it’s easy to see the degree of control of Zionists over the US. A foreign nation has overtaken the United States of America without firing a shot – if you don’t count the USS Liberty.

As a Christian, I am always thankful that God has allowed me to be able to see how this is taking place, but it’s a mixed blessing. I’ve spent a lot of time wondering how the authorities could possibly get to the point – in America of all places – where TPTB could operate openly in defiance of the Bible AND the Constitution. After all, the prophesied persecution of Christians has always seemed to be something you’d expect in some third world country, but after watching that viral film clip of those ICE goons assaulting that poor girl and taking her into custody, it should be pretty clear to practicing Christians that we are already well on our way down that slippery slope. We may or may not be next, but it’s obvious our turn is coming, closer than we might think, especially after hearing that congress actually debated making Bible passages illegal to recite in public because Jesus, that famous antisemite, had some hard things to say about the Synagogue of Satan.

We need not fear what is coming. If we fear the evil that is overtaking the world, then Those who serve the evil one gain the upper hand over us. When good people have fear in their hearts, Satan is accomplishing part of his goal – although he will never be victorious over Christians who understand what is going on. We hold onto Christ because He is our salvation over the darkness of the world which is growing ever darker, He is our light that cannot be extinguished. Remember that perfect love drives out fear [1 John 4:18]: There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love., so pray especially for that perfect love that can only come from the Holy Spirit of Jesus. Jesus indeed admonishes us not to fear, and the fact that there are those who do not fear him makes Satan irate, and he goes after them. See how this behavior parallels the behavior of the Zionists towards, say Iran? They have an inexplicable desire to crush any nation which doesn’t fear them and have done so, but only with the assistance of the corrupted government of the US. That’s why they spent so much time, money, and effort bribing and blackmailing US government figures – taking over a mighty country with a mighty army is the biggest step they have accomplished, and it has taken generations – starting with the corrupt Federal Reserve Act which enabled the Zionists to steal all of the financial resources of America. It was all downhill from there to where we are today, supporting a genocide of innocent semitic people – while deporting and prosecuting citizens for “antisemitism”. Being in control of the most powerful country in the world via his proxies, the Zionists, gives Satan the wherewithal he needs to dominate the world of nonbelievers. It ain’t rocket science.

If you are a nonbeliever but nevertheless are able to see the evil that is upon the world, just know you are wasting your time in opposing it – the only victory in this seminal battle of the ages will be in Jesus Christ. Forget the temptations and lusts of this world that hold you back from Christ – they are merely illusions Satan keeps before you. Get to know Jesus and join the mighty army of the called and chosen who will see victory in the end. It’s time to get serious about our eternity folks so stop being caught up in this world.

May the blessings of the Almighty Father find and keep us.

Why Would Anyone Oppose a New Investigation into 9/11?

If you’ve read folkpotpourri much, you already know how this poster feels about the public trust and the truth in general, especially as it pertains to government/media narratives. Senator Ron Johnson from Wisconsin has recently become the first sitting member of congress to join the call for a new investigation into the events of 9/11, a tragic event that many, including myself, feel has been sorely misrepresented to America. The latest thinking is that this was a Mossad operation. Whether or not it was, folks this is a truth that needs to be told!

Before taking a headlong plunge into the current waves being made on this new attempt to get at the truth on 9/11, a couple of preliminary thoughts need to be considered, the first is Operation Mockingbird. Without going into a lot of detail (google it), suffice it to say that this is an operation under which the media is obligated to report authorized government narratives, and apparently no others, especially none that might conflict with existing government narratives. So, if you are astonished at the vociferous attacks on Senator Johnson re this attempt at a new investigation, there are likely to be orders from the government to try and head any new investigation off – using all tried and true media tactics. Under Mockingbird, this opposition to a new investigation could only be due to government involvement, or involvement by entities or nations to which the US government is subservient. Let the reader understand.

The other consideration as to why TPTB (the powers that be) might go on the offensive against anything or anyone who might be willing to publicly challenge the official narrative on 9/11 is that so many of the potential actors are still alive and available for retribution, unlike anyone associated with the JFK murder, although later iterations of the same entities might well be involved. I’ve mentioned before that there is a group of professional engineers and architects that have joined to challenge, on a professional level, the claims about things that are supposed to have occurred on the day of those “terrorist attacks”. The media did a great job of getting the narrative out in a timely manner, but such a Hegelian operation would be remiss if it did not cover all areas, especially technically deficient areas (see the University of Alaska Fairbanks study on Building 7). Simply lying and calling people out without rebutting professional and intelligent arguments only works with the densest of the population. While I’m willing to admit that covers many Americans, there is a growing number from whose eyes the scales are falling, and a clueless mainstream media is a poor choice of organizations with which to defend a crumbling narrative as people begin to look at facts instead of listening to ad hominem attacks. Professionals such as Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth are just such professionals, and they would like a chance to be heard by investigators, but being heard by our countrymen is far more important.

The biggest obstacle to truth, as has been the case for all human history, is the refusal of the proletariat to listen to it. We refuse because the narrative we are bound to believe is the first one that gets out to the public. People like to think of themselves as being on board the right train, and as Mark Twain said, it’s a lot easier to fool a man than to convince him he’s been fooled.” So when the media put those nineteen photos on America’s TV screens on 9/11and they got fooled, it would be really hard, if not impossible to change their viewpoint, no matter how ridiculous the premise of illiterate Middle Easterners with box cutters wreaking such havoc and operating sophisticated airliners might seem in retrospect. But hey, they already fooled America, so now it’s up to organizations like Ron Johnson, A&E for 9/11 Truth and us “conspiracy theorists” to try and unfool Americans.

I watch a lot of airplane videos and anyone who does so would have to admit it takes a lot – years – of training to fly a modern airliner. Air traffic controllers on the ground play an important role in every flight, giving altitude and headings so pilots know where to go and how to get there. I’ve also watch programs in which professional pilots gave their opinions on the likelihood of a group of terrorists with no or very little flight training could have pulled off 9/11m, and EVERY ONE of those pilots said there is no way those guys could have done it. Jet airliners could not fly at the speeds those planes were flying that close to the ground – they would have disintegrated! Wake up people, let’s support Senator Johnson! For crying out loud, whatever hit the pentagon was not even an airplane – otherwise why did the FBI go around and gather up all security cameras in the area that might have captured something (a lot of people think it was a missile) flying into it?

If past revelations, such as the truth about the Kennedy assassination are to be any indication of how the truth will come about on the 9/11, sometimes around 75 years after the event, some huckster politician will make campaign promises to release all the files on 9/11. Then, after the election some heavily redacted (wouldn’t want to embarrass anybody’s grandkids) files will be presented to the public that contain little more, if anymore, information than was already known, and lazy Americans will roll over and go back to sleep, confident they voted for the right guy. After all, there’ll be no one around anymore who experienced the tragedy of seeing innocent people jumping from high stories of burning buildings. But if Ron Johnson and the guys from A&E come through and some American patriots would for a moment in time stop listening to media mouthpieces and honestly begin to look at the evidence, there’s a chance we could collectively at least prevent such a thing happening again. As it is now, there is absolutely no – ZERO – incentive for the same people who pulled of 9/11 and faced no accountability, not to do the same exact thing – or worse (think nuclear) – again.

As of right now, the media and those in government who might just have something to hide – are about to launch a vicious attack on Curt Weldon (former US congressman), Ron Johnson, and A&E for 9/11 Truth for trying to get to the truth about 9/11. That truth will likely identify pre-detonated buildings, implicate wealthy property owners and maybe even a nation that most Americans still consider an ally. It may implicate politicians of the time as well. I’ve mentioned it before and will say it again, anyone in an official capacity who goes on record opposing a new 9/11 investigation should be among the first suspects of complicity in the events. Why else should anyone – ANYONE – oppose a serious investigation?

If the reader doubts any of the aforementioned facts, you are free to do your own research, and you will find the claims are valid. If you change your mind, you will become among the few open-minded people who don’t mind admitting they’ve been fooled.

This issue is becoming a hot-button issue thanks to A&E for 9/11 Truth, Curt Weldon, Senator Ron Johnson, Dr. Leroy Hulsey, Richard Gage, the late Roland Angle, and many other patriots who would like to see the real story. The truth about this event must be told and those responsible brought to justice. This post is to assist in getting attention on it.

The Stock Market is a Figment of the Imagination

Has the whole world gone insane? I just got through watching one of my favorite video hosts talking about how Trump is/is not working on a trade deal with China as if that were the crux of what’s happening with the US economy. Although our bilateral trade with China has a direct impact on the American economy in a lot of ways, what Trump is doing has nothing to do with how our trade with China affects people in America or our wealth, nor is it intended to.

A totally blind person can see what’s going on. The economy of this country is tanking and tanking fast, and Trump is looking out, as always for his wealthy cronies. There is only a little of pie remaining on the plate and wealthy billionaires and millionaires are scrambling to get their greedy paws on what’s left. As long as there are suckers to put their money into it, there’s a fortune still to be made in the stock market and contrary to popular opinion it’s not a big gambling casino, though for some blue-collar folks some money has been made in it, but money for the plebe is only an ancillary effect of the market. The stock market has always been rigged in favor of the wealthy – not a gambling casino at all. The rich guys have gamed the market from the beginning and have convinced the working folks to invest their real money in it so they (the wealthy) can take it from them. This works as long as the unsuspecting proles think the market operates on the up and up, but it doesn’t, and it never has.

Rich men have developed software that buys and sells market shares in seconds. They know ways to manipulate the market to maximize their theft and take advantage of changing values in nanoseconds. They know how to manipulate the little graphs that show how the market is doing to make it look like it’s doing well (for unsuspecting peons who might be tempted to invest). If John Q Hillbilly makes a little money here and there, rest assured it’s only the trimmings after the big boys have siphoned off the real profits.

How to play the market from the white house? If I was a really crooked president and already knew how the market was rigged, I would call up my buddies and say ok guys, the market is going low tomorrow because I’m about to announce huge tariffs, so get ready. They begin to sell big time, driving down the value of the common folks’ shares as the market reacts to the tariff announcement and drops as expected, then call them up and say ok guys, buy now, because tomorrow I’m going to relieve the tariffs, so the rich guys buy the shares the proles dumped and drove down yesterday – big time – as the market is 2,000 points down, and sure enough, tomorrow comes and I say “Just kidding – no tariffs”, and the market rebounds gaining my rich buddies billions if not trillions. If the SEC was a for real enforcement arm, they could easily determine who sold and bought and when, relative to my announcements, and find the chicanery, but they won’t, and John Q Hillbilly has lost his 401K, but that’s too bad for him.

We already know there have been cases of congress critters’ investment timing having been predicated on bills before congress that would affect market shares, so having a president pre-announce trade policy manipulation to his cronies who paid for his election wouldn’t take much imagination. For crying out loud, if a man was president and neck-deep in genocide, how do you figure he’d be morally above cheating his country’s citizens?

I don’t know much about finance, but it’s pretty obvious how this could happen. There’s not much pie left so the greedy pigs find any source of money (look out Social Security) and dig in. As the entire economy of the country collapses and not-wealthy people seriously begin to worry about feeding their families, the wealthy continue to make money from the misfortune of the common folks. I recall how the big energy company Enron under the villainous Key Lay stuck it to the folks out in California on their power rates and there were even recordings of heartless employees making fun of Grandmas losing their power because of the exorbitant rates Enron levied. One of the requirements for being wealthy is service to Satan and part of that service requires surrendering any semblance of a conscience one might have.

The wealthy, also as part and parcel of their service to the devil – at least in our time – is to finance genocide wherever possible, be it threatening to cut off funding for universities whose students call out their evil, or AIPAC purchasing politicians from the clearance aisle of the Rayburn building, their money goes to 100% evil uses. And decadent lifestyles. If there are peons out there who actually trust our politicians and/or president to observe insider trading rules and regulations when they show every day that they have no moral compass, then if you lose your shirt in the stock market, you probably deserve to. Wall street is just a huge money trough for greedy wealthy pigs to feed from. You are seeing it in action right out there in public – the market is responding daily to the intentionally driven fluctuations and the wealthy know each time it’s about to change, when to buy and when to sell – armed robbery of America and no one in Washington is looking out for the common folks, but then what else is new?. Now when there is a for real crash and the formerly wealthy investors start jumping out of windows, that’s when you know it was real and not a manipulation. Maybe that should be taught in Finance 101.

This poster does not play in the stock market, so I couldn’t care less how it performs, but there are a lot of my fellow travelers who erroneously think investing is a fair game and sink their money into it. I’d just like to call folks’ attention to what they’re seeing right in front of their faces. The Chinese just look on and shake their heads, they have opted to disengage from this clown show that America has become and let Trump go ahead and destroy America – let him speed up the transfer of the last of the nation’s wealth to the billionaires. I’m sure most of the foreign countries are able to see it for what it is, and are probably amazed that the very people who are the most adversely affected by this chicanery can’t (or won’t) see it as it destroys their economy, but Trump, as always has his marching orders from Bibi and the Zionist lobby. I wish there was a way to figuratively turn over their money changing tables like Jesus literally did.

For me, well I store my treasure in a place where thieves can’t get at it and one day we who do so will reap the return on our investment when the Lord finally comes back and puts a stop to this worldly nonsense. It might seem so for now, but He’s not going to wait forever. Forget any try at earthly wealth and put your trust in Jesus – that’s all you need.

May the blessings of the Almighty Father find and keep us.

Trust – and Why it’s Important

Image result for free pics of pinocchio

Suppose you were working for some government procurement agency for some foreign country and the time has come to upgrade the fighter jet squadrons. Most militaries around the world – at least the western world – have always considered the US MIC to produce the most reliable and the best of hi-tech fighters, and currently the F-35, even though it’s way more expensive than the jets from, say China, has been “sold” as the top-notch stealth fighter available. While you’re considering your available budget, some entity has possibly discovered that this jet comes with a “kill switch” which can be turned off by the US DOD, and probably Israel, at any time, especially if it is about to be used against America’s (or Israel’s) “interests”, which always includes any possible conflict with Israel. Would you still consider this plane? When you lose trust, you’re done.

By now everyone knows about the pager incident in which the Israeli IDF activated explosive devices that had been pre-installed in communications devices that had been purchased by entities in Lebanon. When that happened, many people were killed and wounded, a number of them weren’t even enemies of Israel, but the opportunity to kill people, especially when the act would seem to be very clever, just couldn’t be passed up. No real military objective was achieved in this heinous act – the very definition of terrorism – but the real impact was significant – Israel’s adversaries have now become highly suspicious of any kinds of equipment that might be used for this kind of purpose, thus negating, or severely impairing any opportunity for this kind of attack in a situation where a strategic objective might actually need to be achieved in similar circumstances. In other words, prior to purchasing anything – including missiles or fighter jets – that might be destroyed by pre-installed destructive devices, potential buyers are going to think twice, and you can bet if there was any opportunity for the Mossad to get into the production – or shipping – line, it will be a no sale. Any product, or military equipment made in the United States falls into this category. I think it was a really stupid thing for an “intelligence” entity to do the pager thing, moreso that Netanyahu felt like it was such a clever thing as to make a public event when presenting Trump with a replica of a pager. He obviously doesn’t realize that the world doesn’t see the incident as clever or fearsome, but a repulsive and ignorant act by a nation that could only be in service to evil.

Much to the chagrin of Lockheed and McDonald Douglas, Egypt just purchased several J-20 Chinese fighter aircraft. They had a good reason. They had previously only bought American jets, but after learning that the US jets sold to Egypt lacked the capability to launch longer range air-to-air missiles, of course they began shopping elsewhere. The same F-16s, the ones sold to Israel, were manufactured with the capability to carry much longer range AAMs than the same jets sold to Egypt. How many other weapons systems has the US sold around the world that were manufactured to either completely fail or at least inferior to those sold to Israel? Maybe kill switches on the hi-tech tanks and air defense systems they make and sell? Wouldn’t be too hard to make “Patriot” missiles that go after the wrong jets. Now you can easily see why Egypt – not necessarily “cozying up to China” – is at least seeking parity with their greatest enemy now that they know their US jets are inferior. The US lost their trust. Incidentally, Boeing just lost out on a major contract of passenger planes to China. Wonder if they know something about subterfuge of passenger planes? There’s a little country that would probably relish the thought of secretly blowing up airliners – anyone’s.

The examples above are but a few of the pitfalls of losing credibility. Once you lose it, it’s extremely hard if not impossible to get it back, and US arms manufacturers are probably about to learn the hard way – their sales are set to suffer as the stories and revelations continue about rigged equipment get out there, and you can bet they will – even if made up. “Intelligence” agencies and entities are responsible for this lack of credibility in a big way. In the wake of the Israeli pager incident, everyone in the world will be more cautious of buying anything that could possibly be used for such terrorism, as intelligence agencies around the world will now spend inordinate amounts of time spying on manufacturers and supply chains. Maybe that’ll eat into their time plotting to kill people.

I suppose one good thing about all of this is that a lot of countries might start having second thoughts about buying American or Israeli weapons and stay with Russian or Chinese systems. These nations haven’t done anything so egregious that might cost them their own credibility – yet anyways. Maybe business will get so bad for the MIC that they will be forced to start manufacturing things that don’t kill people, but I’m not holding my breath. Knowing Trump, he’ll probably try to force allies (or enemies) to buy American equipment or threaten them with tariffs or bombs.

The trust thing bleeds over into all sorts of other arenas. Nothing, and I mean nothing, that the US government says can be taken for the truth anymore. Think about the Kennedy assassination, the reasons given for the Vietnam war (proven to be a lie), the Iran/contra affair, the reason given for invading Iraq (no WMD ever found), the clumsy 9/11 attack and Muller’s FBI cover-up, Covid and the vaccine, EVERYTHING they put out. Why should anyone trust anything they say? Same for Israel; in fact, I think since the US government is controlled by Israel, most of the lies likely start from there. Almost every one of the things mentioned here can be connected to Israel’s foreign policy. In any event when the lies coming from “official” sources are repeatedly proven to be false, how can some Presidental spokesperson put on the facade like they expect reasonable people to believe them? Instead, they act like they are astonished (a big part of the lie in itself) – even get offended – that anyone would question a government narrative, no matter how dubious (or ridiculous).

Not to oversimplify, but the Bible tells us that Satan is the father of lies, and when seen through that lens, it kinda makes sense. At least when the objective of the lies is to get a lot of people killed. That’s what the US and Israel do best. Murder. Vietnam, Libya, Iraq, Syria, Serbia, Gaza, The West Bank, Lebanon, even back to the Indians, the US has always been in the business of killing (usually) innocent people. Israel is the same. These governments (and others, such as UK, France, etc.) operate exclusively at the command of Satan, and the sooner we all get that figured out, the sooner we might be able to turn to God and fix the situation. When no one in the whole world trusts our leadership, we need to fix it.

I suppose one of the greatest vulnerabilities of the American people is our tendency to trust our government and it’s tentacle agencies. That trust gets us into a lot of trouble. It also allows them to get away with murder – literally! The US government (aka Israeli government) owns all of the media in this country and probably in the UK. Maybe more. Zionists own Hollywood and therefore get to write all of the movies and their storylines. With that much narrative control, there’s ample reason why folks tend to trust them. Check out the Talmud – the Zionist playbook. They believe the Zionists should be running the whole world and all other people their slaves. And American “leaders” are willing – even to the extent of ignoring the Constitution – to appease them, even allowing them to kill Americans (USS Liberty, 9/11, etc.) with impunity. Look for a false flag on American troops to get us into war with Iran – for Israel. Trump will take the bait, guaranteed.

I was raised in a time when we at least thought we could trust the government, but among the many reasons I came to doubt them was that famous occasion when Karl Rove, Shrub Bush’s execrable advisor, came right out and said as much as “We’re history’s actors – you all can watch us act and try and figure out what we have done, but by the time you get it figured out, we’ll be on to something else, so you’ll never catch up.” Their narratives are always pre-recorded – just like the extreme and impossibly quick narrative that was thrust upon us on 9/11. Looking back, we should have all seen that by its very immediacy alone, the 9/11 narrative that basically appeared out of nowhere was in fact pre-cooked – and thus highly unlikely to be factual. Us citizens need to catch up with them with all speed!

We do have this – we know these people cannot be trusted. If the failure of our society comes upon us because we went ahead and trusted them anyway, then we deserve what we have coming – probably our own destruction. They’ve lost our trust, and the trust of the world – plain and simple, and unless and until they start acting in a way that is trustworthy and shows they value our confidence, we have no reason nor obligation to believe anything they say. We have to wake up, folks.

Any post on trustworthiness as it concerns the US government would be painfully incomplete without mention of a couple of items.

The University of Alaska at Fairbanks conducted a four-year peer-reviewed study by three engineers with PhDs led by Dr. Leroy Hulsey that conclusively debunked NIST’s version. NIST was challenged but would not change their story and legal action ensued and the District Court
