I just heard something on the news this morning and to be honest, it is making my stomach turn. This has been in the works for a while, but this is the first time I’ve heard about it. I think it’s one of those sneaky attempts to get something done before it gets too much publicity.

I volunteered into the NAVY back in February 1972, and in boot camp they taught us the story of the black mess cook, Doris Miller who left his duties on the mess deck of the West Virginia to go topside and see what all the noise was when the Japanese were attacking in Pearl Harbor. In an act of incredible bravery, he manned an abandoned anti-aircraft gun and proceeded, with no prior training, to strafe the Zeros of the attacking Japanese. This was, and still is, one of the single greatest acts of intestinal fortitude I’ve ever heard of.

Dory Miller was a hero – right up there with Audie Murphy and Sergeant York as far as I’m concerned. He was killed in a torpedo attack while serving on the USS Lipscombe Bay during the same war on November 24, 1943, in the Gilbert Island Operation. In those days, the US military kept the public apprised of war casualties as soon as they could, unlike the shady Cooper and Hegseth in Trump’s Iran travesty. Not only did I find out this morning that Miller has not yet been awarded the Medal of Honor for this act, but an aircraft carrier being built that was designated to be named after this bravest of the brave sailor is now being considered for a new name – the cowardly draft-dodger Donald Trump. Can you imagine Trump doing what Miller did? Me neither.

Miller was awarded the Navy Cross, and those who merit the cross are supposed to be automatically considered for the Congressional Medal of Honor. I don’t know if he ever got this consideration, and if not, that’s a shame. On the other hand, if he was considered for the CMH and rejected, that’s yet another shame and reeks of something far worse. If Trump had an ounce of decency – which he does not – he would shut this unscrupulous effort down – and award Miller the CMH.

I’m not sure how the American public is taking this, but speaking as an old, white Ozark hillbilly Navy Veteran and plank owner of the USS Nimitz, I am appalled that the Navy is even considering this travesty. Doris Miller is one of my greatest heroes, can you imagine a black mess cook, never trained to fight, who had been discriminated against in his own Navy, courageously grabbing an unmanned gun with aircraft machine gun bullets slamming the steel around him? I did not realize he has not – of yet – been (posthumously) awarded the CMH, but I’m certainly ready to join any group working to that end, and I’ll happily bring my Nimitz plankowner’s certificate (for what it might be worth) to any protest that will organize around taking the name of a genuine war hero’s name off this new carrier to rename it for someone the whole country sees as a draft-dodging coward and grifter. This same individual has also tried to put his name up alongside another war hero, John Kennedy. It would seem he doesn’t think the public understands just what a coward he is/was. and just how desperate he is to be named among the brave, of whom he is definitely not!

We veterans and everyone else must take a firm stand against allowing the Navy to abandon the practice of naming capital ships after heroes – be they warriors or deceased leaders. Trump has single-handedly wreaked more havoc on the nation of the United States than any other president in history and is the very least deserving of an honor like a carrier name. No sitting president has ever had this honor bestowed on him and we certainly don’t need to start with this one! Especially this one – whose rich daddy kept him out of harm’s way while other guys his age went to Vietnam. What a travesty – if the wormy little bootlicker Hegseth would take a stand against this, he might earn a few badly needed points with the American public, but he won’t. We must rise up against this outrageous transgression on American honor and dignity!

If the military feels the need to name something after Trump, why not some of the noisome, dingy toilets on the Ford or the Lincoln? I’m sure the sailors on board would happily stop in once in a while and pay their sincerest respects to Trump.

A lot of folks are writing articles and doing videos these days in various attempts to try and lay out what they think is the correct interpretation of last days prophecy and in that regard, this article is no different, but why are we seeing so much stuff addressing end times? Could it be that more and more people with varying degrees of interest and knowledge of end times prophecy now believe we are seeing the very events that are described in whatever sources they happen to study all tend to agree that the end times are upon us? We find ourselves in the midst, for whatever reason(s) of how we got here, of societal tumult and geological and climactic upheavals that show no signs of either abating or allowing human survival to any longer be ensured.

Some people cop the attitude of, “Sure things are looking kinda dark, but things have gotten pretty bad before and countries and people pulled through it.” That’s true enough and for sure this economy, though hard on the common folk, isn’t as bad as it was during the depression. Neither are oil prices higher than they’ve ever been. Food shortages seem to be about to happen, but it’s not like the potato famine – yet. We’re at war, but this one isn’t nearly as catastrophic as either of the world wars of the last century, so there’s no need to panic over that either. There have been much more powerful earthquakes in the past than these we’re experiencing as of the past several months and there have been greater and more powerful volcano eruptions back when and the world is still turning, so why the anxiety about everything going south? Just kick back and let things play out and we’ll be fine.

Why then are there so many articles about survival and prepping if we have good reason to believe everything will get better? When folks talk like that and prefer to stick their heads back into the sand, that’s just where the enemy of mankind wants us to be. He is bringing a lot of bad but not impossible situations together, any one of them or even a few might not present insurmountable obstacles to our survival, but taken together, we are witnessing a bunch of seemingly unrelated threats that humanity will not be able to survive when they all come down on us at once.

Here in the land of the free, we’ve never been engaged in a war before in which we have totally psychopathic imbeciles running the show. They obviously know nothing of any concept of logistics chains, war strategy, national interests, nor any other concepts of defense interests, they just find a red handle and pull it to see what happens with absolutely no idea of how it works. In America I don’t think we’ve ever seen the level of hubris by as many ignorant people as are currently running the show. Somehow our leaders seem to think they have a right to expect the people in the country to follow all the rules and obey the laws all the while everyone is watching them, our role models, outright violating every concept of law. It doesn’t work that way, but then they’re way too ignorant to understand rational notions like that. Some very rich and very crooked people saw an opportunity to make a lot of money and destroy legal limits that served to restrain their unbridled greed by purchasing the white house and Congress and installing a criminal con artist president who was able to coax the same ignoramuses that bought into the teabag movement to vote for him, and now it’s Katy bar the door, all hands on deck to steal everything in America that’s not nailed down.

You’d think the MAGA voters would have learned they’ve been had, but no, they’re ready to double down – they swear God sent them Donald Trump but he just laughs and plays to them as he siphons down Big Macs and generally stinks up the White House – at least the parts he hasn’t torn down yet. It’s pathetic to see people so totally disconnected from reality, people who’ve lost their food stamps and can’t afford to take their sick kids to the doctor but passionately refuse to connect the dots to a grifting misfit building golden ballrooms with money that might otherwise be available to help them out – oh well. This pathetic lack of leadership is just another facet of the issues we face but is one that could serve as evidence of our own culpability in making some things worse than they have to be – because of the poor choice of a president.

In other news, in case you haven’t heard, there’s a terrible drought taking the country in the desert southwest and the (formerly) big reservoirs that about 40 million people depend on for electricity and potable water are running on empty. This likely portends to be one of the worst impending catastrophes most of us will have ever seen in our lifetimes. This water crisis could – and as of now it looks to – become a climactic event that will lead to a mass environmental migration, a phrase I expect we will be hearing a lot more as this drought becomes progressively more intense. The way I see such a migration, it cannot but impose a severe strain on any resources of areas that receive millions of unexpected refugees. Just imagine a line of traffic stretching from Kansas City to Los Angeles with everyone heading to seemingly inviting towns like little Podunk, Kentucky where they read about a pretty rural haven with green pastures and plenty of running water. Well, there might be plenty of water for the few hundred folks who have comfortably lived there for generations, and the primitive little power lines that supply the residents of rustic places like that have been sufficient for them, but what kind of strain will several hundred thousand people cause moving into a place that is geared up for only a few dozen families with only a little corner grocery store? What about housing? Water treatment facilities for populations suddenly increased tenfold? This will be the case throughout the eastern half of the United States, and what’s more, places like Texas and Florida, and increasingly like Georgia, Alabama, and others are already suffering through water shortages of their own! Look out Michigan UP and other such environs where water is still abundant!

Another serious aspect of the drought is a likely food shortage that is apt to affect the whole world. The brilliant leaders of the US apparently haven’t bothered to look into the probability that the loss of fertilizer coming from the Persian Gulf will doubtlessly exacerbate crop losses everywhere. But then, said leaders could not care less if the poor – and even what’s left of the middle-class – face mass starvation due to their leaders’ stupidity- well at least until throngs of starving people show up at all the cool places like Mar a Ghetto and those gated communities of the rich.

If you’ve been watching the news – the real news – you’ve undoubtedly heard by now of the shortages of diesel fuel and jet fuel that are growing worse and worse as the Strait of Hormuz stays closed. A lot of oil processing facilities and refineries throughout the middle east are destroyed from Trump’s war too, so as long as there’s a diesel shortage, prices are going to be crazy! Every product, grocery item, and commodity depend on diesel to get to a place where you can go buy them, and even if it’s still possible to buy diesel, it’s gonna be so high the prices of the products trucks deliver will be outrageous – we’re already seeing the beginnings of that result of Trump’s war. There are too many fringe benefits of undertaking a stupid unnecessary war to count, like the total rearrangement of alliances – all to the detriment of the US/Israel cabal. The US, thanks to the person at the helm, has lost most all of our best allies – for crying out loud, even Canada, Denmark, and Mexico! Canada, because the bright bulb wants to boss them around and threaten them with tariffs so he can look tough, but that’s not exactly how he looks, is it? Denmark, because he wants to make them fear that he will steal Greenland through intrigue, threats, but most importantly, his favorite trick – grift! In short, thanks to our fearless leader, the US has no meaningful alliances anymore – with any sane country.

I don’t really think enough folks are aware of just how close we are to all out nuclear war, either. Mr. Ego is chomping at the bit to drop nukes on Iran without a hint of a thought of where that kid of unbridled ignorance can lead, but I don’t think Putin, Xi, or Kim will stand idly by and watch that idiocy play out knowing they could easily be next. When they start shooting off those fireworks, it’s anybody’s guess how any of us will fare.

I guess this post has enough gloom and doom for now, but as always, I invite the reader to consider looking into trusting Jesus Christ – the only real choice we have to come out victorious over the calamities we are facing. The enemy of mankind has worked long and hard to bring about the very events we now face, in fact, he’s had thousands of years to get the pieces all in place for just the scenario we find ourselves in. Through the centuries he’s raised up many iterations of this “leader” we now suffer under, all of whom have come and gone. It’s no accident or coincidence; these things have been brought to fruition by careful planning and Satan’s influence on some of the actors described above who eagerly do his bidding for a few fleeting years of earthly wealth. You can stake your life on the fact that Donald Trump will at some point cease to breathe – it happens to us all, and if after his evil influence expires, the world returns to some modicum of sanity and as decent men go about erasing his name and signs of his influence from the country just like the Russians did when they came to their senses after the hated Stalin’s evil reign, everyone will once more wonder how their country became so stupid as to follow someone so close to Satan. As long as time allows, there will be more. Get right with the Lord – it’s the only choice for victory over this world and it’s evil.

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

How much farther will we be able to travel on this journey? Are we able to infinitely submerse ourselves into the depths of delusion until our very biological and psychological functions become unable to cope with such threats as we are presently enduring or soon will?

Regardless of the hope one may be able to muster in the (un)likelihood of someone somewhere discovering a reset button that could take our earthly existence back to the heady days of the seventies, please this sink in – it ain’t gonna happen! This whole planet is on an irreversible trajectory toward destruction and it’s happening sooner rather than later. There are several impending disasters simply biding their time, Campi Flegri Volcano, Lake Mead water depletion, deadly heat waves across the whole northern hemisphere, nuclear war, Cascadia or San Andreas or New Madrid, take your pick. Any one of them alone would be a catastrophe of Biblical proportions, but there’s a better than even chance more than one of these disasters, possibly several, will come upon us simultaneously. Think Great Tribulation. God has a complete arsenal of weapons (both conventional and cosmic) at His disposal with which to address our malevolence.

Alliances, such as this new one between Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Türkiye, are starting to materialize, and older ones like NATO are morphing into different shades from their original designs. No matter the stripes of new world organizations, it would seem that due to the US government’s fealty to the genocidal cruelty of Israel, we are pretty much on the outs with everyone. Who’d have thought that among our newest and most hated enemies to have emerged, former allies like Canada, Denmark, and Mexico would be not only among them, but at the fore.

It seems that each and every day some big sledgehammer whacks another MAGA voter upside the head as more and more of them begin to understand that their gas and grocery bills are indeed connected to Donald Trump’s policies, and the intoxicating euphoria of allowing their racist tendencies to dictate their political support might not have been such a good idea after all. It seems that the red states who elected this regime are now the ones who bear the brunt of losing food stamps, health care, etc., while Trump and his billionaire friends throw galas down at Mar-a-Ghetto that would make the Rothschilds blush. So far Trump has been able to keep the Epstein debacle under wraps, much thanks to the now-infamous Louisiana senator Cassidy whose vote ensured Todd Blanch’s confirmation to be AG, and thus the Epstein files will continue to be kept safely from the public as a result. Wonder what they have on Cassidy to get his vote? Wonder how many MAGA Louisiana voters will be able to connect the dots – probably not a lot, after all they are convinced that the god they worship blessed the country with Trump, or so they say.

The US is coming apart at the seams – we have the data center crises, droughts, wildfires, we look to be on the brink of revolution etc. Do you think God – the real God – might be trying to get our attention? There are more and more preachers – some few of them real preachers – crying to high Heaven to get people’s attention to awaken them to the fact that we, as a nation, have turned our backs on Him and these calamities are exactly what happens to a people who choose this approach. We are a people who have almost completely abandoned our spiritual roots, and most folks scoff at those who suggest that we’re headed down a long, dead-end road that many nations have tried many times before and ALWAYS got the same results. The ONLY path we have which might result in our betterment is to turn to God and repent of our evil ways. We must repent of the immorality that is so rampant throughout our society. We must repent of aiding a totally criminal country in its genocide of an innocent people – that country will pay dearly for persecuting the poor, innocent people of Gaza and southern Lebanon, and the USA will pay dearly for supporting them. If the reader happens to be one who hasn’t spoken out against what our government is doing in the Middle East, you might want to go on record – God’s record – as not being in support of the genocide travesty. Many souls will burn in hell for supporting the synagogue of Satan who are bowing to Baal and flying their star of Remphan and starving innocent children. May God the Father of Jesus Christ smite them where they cry at their fake wailing wall – there will be some real wailing when the Ashkenazis finally realize they haven’t fooled God with their deception. They might fool the world, and have to a great degree, but they will never fool the One who counts. The more of us who speak up against our nation supporting greedy Ashkenazi imposters, the better our chances of overthrowing their yoke on our government. By the way – am I the only one who believes this ICE debacle is an invasion by the IDF? No? After all, why do they wear masks? Why are their brutal tactics so similar?

Make your voice heard. Let your senators and congresspeople know that you will under no circumstances vote for any of them who take AIPAC money. Let them know that you will under no circumstances vote for any of them who cast their vote to merge the US military with that of Israel. Look up how they voted on that one bill (NDAA section 219), and that should tell you all you need to know about how treasonous our politicians are willing to become to appease the Ashkenazis who pose as Jews in Israel and in the US. ALL House Republicans except the venerable Massie, plus five democrats in the House. None of those yes voters should be allowed to be reelected. Ever! Those cretins in Israel are publicly laughing at the stupidity of Americans and nowadays even to publicly brag about their control of America – and Trump and the sycophants in his administration say nothing!

While keeping up with who and how much these slimy politicians are working for Israel, don’t get caught up too much in their bait-and-switches – before that NDAA vote hit the floor, the Israelis already have control of the US military but if they can keep us arguing about whether or not they voted for this Satanic bill, we lose sight of the fact that Israel already controls of our armed forces, even without this phony bill! We were apprised of Israeli control of the pentagon by General Wesley Clark back in 2003 when the Iraq invasion was brewing and the Greater Israel project was coming out of the Zionist closet. So by participating in the argument over the NDAA vote and its giving Israel control of the US military, you are tacitly (and ignorantly) admitting you believe America still has control until that bill is signed into law.

It’s a different slant on the same tactic they used about Charlie Kirk killing – when they mention something about Charlie being shot on some news article, they intend for their viewers to accept the foregone conclusion that Charlie was indeed shot without allowing the discussion to actually get into the argument over whether some other method of murder was used. People (especially those who had prior experience planting explosives in communications devices) need for us to believe Charlie was shot to try and keep us off the trail of what they really did (with explosives). Why would they pave over the whole scene where evidence might be found if not to hide what really happened? The same as when they present a fake story about whether Epstein killed himself, Trump had him killed, etc., etc., the main point is for you to sink into some meaningless argument which always presupposes that Epstein is in fact dead, which I do not believe for a minute! There are videos – presumably of him alive and well on the streets of Tel Aviv.

C’mon folks, if a bunch of people from another country can bomb and bring down three skyscrapers in Manhattan killing thousands of American citizens and use their control of every institution of US government to get clean away with it, faking the death of an important MOSSAD asset like Epstein would be child’s play for them! They have assets at every level of the American and state governments and do not hesitate to use them when they have to get their own off the hook like that creep who got busted in the child sex sting out in California – once it was discovered that he was Israeli, he was promptly given back his passport and allowed to go home to Israel. The rest of the suspects were presumably charged and prosecuted, but not the Israeli – it would seem they’re above American law, and as in the case of 9/11, they’re above investigation too.

Netanyahu changed his name to that from the Polish Mielekowsky so it would sound Jewish – because he is not Jewish at all! [Revelation 3:9]: “Indeed I (JESUS)will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie—indeed I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.” I have heard that DNA tests are not allowed in Israel, presumably because the people living there who call themselves Jews would find out that they have no Hebraic DNA at all, regardless of what the false prophet John Hagee – and others of his ilk – might say. So by supporting the current interlopers who occupy Israel, you are in no way supporting people who are Jews in reality.

America returning to God would necessitate our disassociation with everything that calls itself (today’s) Israeli or Zionist. Our country has been taken over by the synagogue of Satan, and many Americans are going along with their evil ways and it needs to stop, lest we share in their punishment. We have to start by neutralizing the power of Zionist billionaires who own our government and start electing politicians who share our concern for America first! For one thing, none of the rich Zionists came by a dime of their fortunes honestly. They sold their souls to Satan! I’m old enough to remember a very often-asked question about the relations of the Nazis and Jews during the second World War, which was some iteration of “Why did they hate the Jews so much?” Oddly, you don’t hear any version of that question anymore – from anyone.

There are more man-made and natural catastrophes queued up for our destruction than we realize, and all of them are waiting for God to unleash them on the world. Hang on to your faith in Jesus, folks, it’s all we have. But then, it’s all we need. Stay true to your servitude to Him and you’ll receive your reward in time. So for now, by all means and with every ounce of your being, trust Jesus Christ for deliverance from this wicked world. He’s waiting for each and every one of us to do just that.

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

We got almost two inches of rain last night from a couple of fairly big thunderstorms that plowed across our neck of the woods and hereabouts. It’s so wonderful to get good rain this time of the year because it’s getting to be near that time when the autumn woods need rain to make all those beautiful colors as cool north winds begin to stir. If the weather is too dry in late summer, the leaves all just turn brown and fall, but when the rains hit just right, they get kind of waxy and shiny as they find the colors the Creator assigns to them. If you’re a follower of this site, you’ll already know this old hillbilly tends to wax poetic over the fall colors, and I don’t think this year will be any exception.

This autumn portends some different, ominous changes to the whole world, and frankly I don’t believe this existence in which we find ourselves is going to last much longer. Before you get your hackles up – and it’s understandable if you do – I’m painfully aware of the content getting published about needing to get prepared for hard times ahead, but the preparation this site advocates is mostly about spiritual preparation. In the end, being prepared to meet our Maker will be the ONLY preparation of any consequence and that realization must come sooner rather than later, because for it to actually work out to be of positive consequence it must be dealt with, and wholeheartedly if at all.

For the typical unbeliever who tries to continue straddling the fence between becoming a righteous follower of Jesus or simply living in the world and adapting to each and every kind of craziness the enemy throws at us, maybe you should look at this life like something you probably understand, like a football game. Yeah, think of this life as one big football game and right now we’re playing in the first half. People spend all their time chasing after money and good times and sure enough, just like touchdowns on the scoreboard, they’re racking up what they believe to be a big lead that will surely result in a win, and they tend to forget about that other half they still have to face. Most folks consider success to be about fancy homes and fast cars, boats, private jets, and whatever other items of instant gratification they can accumulate here in the first half. There’s a tendency to taunt us “losers” who appear to be falling further and further behind because of our quest to serve Jesus.

We don’t desire the same lifestyles as the unbelievers, because our “Coach” has given us some vision. We understand what’s ahead, and we trust our Coach who has assured us of victory in the next stage of the contest if we don’t get too worried about what our score looks like to the world in this half, but trust Him. Flashy cars and bank accounts only last until halftime – when your friends, relatives, and acquaintances lay you to rest and promptly start to divvy up all the things you “scored” as you erroneously presumed you were actually driving up the score. You came into this game with nothing, and you will leave it with nothing, no matter how much wealth you amassed during the first half. Google Jacob Rothschild; Sheldon Adelson; Dick Cheney. The game was over for them by halftime, and no matter what they had, they didn’t take a dime with them, and unless they took an opportunity to repent, they face a long and dismal second half indeed.

Just like the first half of this contest, which has varying lengths of time for different people, the second half isn’t really a half at all. It begins when we face our ultimate Referee, who will no doubt disqualify many from the contest entirely. He gave us the rule book and expected us to live by it, but we decided that we could rig the game in our favor – always outside the rules, so many of us gave no heed to them and proceeded to run up a score that would never serve to benefit us at all, for that second half was yet to be faced. That second “half” will last for all eternity, and it is when that unimaginable time begins that we will realize we actually gained victory. The other side will only then understand the depths of their loss. We will have won because we trusted our Coach, who taught us how to play a winning game and not get worried or excited about how dark things looked in that first half. We learned not to envy those with earthly gains that – to their eternal dismay – could never benefit them in the second half, but then they ignored the very rule book which could have taught them there would even be a second half. They did not prepare for what came after that big halftime show in which their great score seemed to assure them of victory, but alas for them victory was not meant to be.

When the “influencers” of the world keep harping on getting prepared, almost all of them are in one way or another talking about getting prepared for a future here on earth and how to survive some catastrophe in this first half of the game, but some of us are crying from the roof tops about preparing ourselves for the second half – listen to the Coach and trust Him, He’s saying that what’s important is on the other side and we should be preparing for that. We should have our minds focused on what we need and how we should live to get into the next life and stop worrying so much about how to survive in this one. The very first play of the greatest game is to make that decision to trust our Lord, our Coach, our Mentor, Jesus Christ. Beyond that is to try and live our lives in servitude to Him and to love our neighbors – even the foreigners among us. Play by the rules and thus avoid penalties as much as possible, and you will be playing to win – we must win – the alternative is too terrible to imagine, but the victory will be worth the effort we exerted on every down!

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

Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God. [Matthew 5:8]

Are we there yet? Are we absolutely sure we’re not holding anything back, avoiding any uncomfortable issues we haven’t faced; can we say with full confidence that we have poured the last drop of guilt on the ground at His feet and asked fervently for His forgiveness? Is there anything left hidden that we choose not to lay before Him? Are there several or at least more than one degree of “pure in heart”? Pure in heart sounds like it’s absolute, either you are or you’re not, and in the context in which the Lord speaks this, He seems to be implying such. If there are degrees of purity however, then they must grow as one spiritually matures, thus whatever level of purity you have indicates the level of clarity with which you “see” God.

What does Jesus mean by being able to see God? We know from the Scriptures that it is impossible for a human in physical form to see God and continue to live. It costed Moses dearly to just catch a glimpse of the back of His form. That event was probably the extreme limit of what a faithful human could ever endure by seeing God, so how does Jesus mean the pure in heart can see God? The Savior of mankind who does not, cannot lie said we would be able to see God, so it has to be possible somehow. Being able to see God in the context Jesus mentions also must be a tremendous reward!

Jesus said the gate is wide that leads to destruction and that many will enter therein and the way to life is narrow, and few will find it, and also that purity in heart is the attribute that allows us to “see” God. Of the few who find the gate, will all of them (us) have attained the purity of heart that will give them that ability to see God? Do we understand the significance – the incredible reward – of this ability? The fifth chapter of Matthew is where the Sermon on the Mount is found in which Jesus lists the attributes of believers and their rewards. What a servant of God we would be if we were able to attain to all of them! This post explores verse 8 in which Jesus makes us this promise of the pure in heart being able to see God, but sometimes the notion is difficult – even for believers – to fully understand what He is saying.

Purity in one’s heart at the level Jesus addresses is absolute honesty with God, which, if you think about it, has pitfalls and shortcomings for most of us. There are scars on our consciences from past sins that we’d rather not revisit, pretending instead that they never occurred, but repentance requires our admission of all of our sins, even – and especially – the bad ones. We must find the courage to admit to those things done in secret that we’d prefer to skip over and pretend they never happened, and if that’s the route we decide we want to take, then we’re denying ourselves the opportunity to “see” God.

If we harbor doubts in areas of our faith as to anything the Scriptures require our steadfast belief, doubts such as to whether or not God loves us, especially with dark sins on our record, we are in doubt of our forgiveness, and that is an especially troublesome issue, but some of us believe the sins of which we’re guilty are of such a despicable nature that even the blood of Christ will not cleanse our soul, we must be reminded of this: [1 Corinthians 10:13]: “No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man…” so your sin(s) are not as unique as Satan has convinced you, then what Saint John said [1 John 1:9]: “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” All humans are subject to the same pitfalls, no matter how dark and repulsive they may be, but Jesus offers to forgive them so you can clear the hurdle of despair over whatever you’ve done being something no one else has ever done.

We are admonished in the Scriptures to fear God, and as we gain understanding of exactly Who He is, we cannot but tremble at His power and magnificence! He is truly awesome in every sense of the word; in fact, there are no words in any human language that could even begin to adequately describe Him! After all, He created everything – even the uncountable stars of the heavens. He is also a gentle and merciful God Who loves His human creation. From the first day He created man, He desired our company; our fellowship – that’s why He made us in the first place.

God gave us this bountiful earth on which to live and raise our children. He gave us all the animals, some to tame for pets, some to raise for food, and some to just enjoy – birds, creatures of the forest and such. There is a dark enemy who has tried from the very beginning to obstruct our fellowship with God, and unfortunately for the vast majority of mankind, he succeeds too often. We are all subject to the devises of Satan, and in order to maintain a healthy Spiritual relationship with our Father, we have to keep up our guard to avoid Satan’s pitfalls, but we still have further opportunity to get to know God and to see how we can enjoy His company in our lives. When we begin to understand and to experience the joy of His presence, we begin to “see” Him as we more profoundly experience Him and understand His desire to keep our company. We truly begin to “see” God.

God is by no means hidden from us. He sent His Son to guide us through this valley of darkness and to ultimately reach Him; to see Him. The only thing preventing us from fully getting to know – to see – God is our desire to live and thrive in this world of sin and shame. Many – way too many – people ignore the great sacrifice Jesus Christ made precisely so we could make our way to God through Him. We can experience the joy of walking with God, as did Enoch, as did King David, and we can look forward to one glorious Day when we meet Him in person. If you reject Jesus Christ in this short life we have here, you will forever be denying yourself the opportunity to “see” God. What a horrible loss!

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

When talking about material wealth, we live in a world of haves and have nots. That’s it – the middle-class myth is/was exactly that – a myth. I’ve known “upper middle class” folks who liked to be considered as being in the “haves” genre, but as a person I used to know once told me, if you think you might be one of the upper crusties then take this simple test: Take your private jet to Bermuda tomorrow, or better yet just do it this evening. What? You can’t take off work tomorrow? You don’t even have a private jet? What?!! If either or both answers is no, then like it or not you are simply a plebe, regardless of your occasional Friday night dinners with attorneys or doctors.

I’m writing about a class of people in this world who are separate, financially, socially, emotionally, but especially legally, from the rest of us. These folks do not answer to the same judicial, medical, or financial systems that plague us commoners. If any of these people were to happen to be driving their own vehicle and get a flat tire, under the right circumstances with no cell coverage, they would be totally lost and at the abhorrent mercy of unfamiliar elements where the ghastly working classes lurk! Not one of them could manage to replace a flashlight battery or unstick a clogged toilet if their life depended on it.

I’m speaking of people so susceptible to their esoteric programming that they are accustomed to making lavish financial outpourings simply based on what their peers do such as purchasing art from the same sources as other rich people precisely because other rich people do it and for no other superfluous reason such as whether or not they personally like it. In addition, the wealthy classes are purveyors of every sinful and covetous practice under the sun, always as though it were something novel – it is standard fare for the wealthy, the “elite”, with no thought of any ramifications that might be accounted – especially from a Higher Power. They engage in the most sordid, execrable behaviors imaginable, and this is primarily because their wealth came with a price tag, a ledger entry to which they paid no more attention when they entered into it than the price sticker on that new Lamborghini they bought yesterday on a whim. They – practically to the last sick social parasite – made a deal with the devil to get their apartment at the 432 Park Avenue posh skyscraper (turned-ghetto), and it’s a deal that requires total submission up to and including the most vile, horrid acts one could ever imagine. There’s absolutely no limit to the degree of evil of which they become capable, and if you think otherwise, I’ve got a couple of tall buildings in lower Manhattan to sell you – no wait – someone (rich) blew them up.

Among other abhorrent proclivities, these people routinely allow the allure of their perverse sensual natures to deprive them of any semblance of human decency, especially when it comes to their regard for children – even their own children, but isn’t that what the evil people in the Bible did in the old days – burning their own kids alive? The only thing to which any of these Cretins are loyal is their lust for more wealth, and there is no level of evil to which they will not stoop to gain it, nor is there any level of wealth that might obviate their desire for more. After a while, at some level which probably varies from one monster to another, wealth becomes power and then it turns into a whole new ball game with a whole new iteration of evil. They can buy anything, including human beings and their souls – and they do without a second thought. Those who sell their souls to them are equally as guilty – morally speaking.

For some reason which I’m inclined to believe is part and parcel of this human condition that we Christians are duty-bound to evolve away from, it seems that sexual immorality is the primary condition to which those with great wealth always gravitate. It seems that lewd and lascivious behavior is Satan’s most alluring temptation and when a person acquires whatever wealth it takes for him to become disenchanted, even bored, with the attendant posh lifestyle, he invariably turns – at Satan’s behest, of course – to morally irredeemable behavior. Then the acts grow into something far darker than (mere consensual) sexual immorality, acts and behaviors that include unspeakable conduct for a decent person to contemplate. But these are not decent people and their sexual immorality does not go unnoticed by the Almighty: [Revelation 18:9]: “The kings of the earth who committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her will weep and lament for her, when they see the smoke of her burning,” and [Revelation 18:3]: “For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.” It seems like wealth and immorality go hand in hand, and God does not like either.

[Luke 6;24]: “But woe to you who are rich, For you have received your consolation.” Jesus clearly condemned the wealthy here and He made no bones about His contempt for the rich – they will not fare well at the judgement, so do not waste your time coveting wealth or envying those who have great possessions – they will suffer eternal torment for their choice to be rich men during this short tenure on the earth. I fully believe they are all demon-possessed. Our forefathers of the Christian faith, indeed, our Savior Jesus Christ Himself, were materially poor men. There are examples in the Holy Scriptures of which this site has published articles about the financially destitute men of God – John the Baptist, the disciples Peter and John, and the prophets of old – no men of God were wealthy, (with the possible exception of King Solomon, but he had some issues) and they are our examples in the faith. Wealthy pastors in today’s megachurches are all hypocritical charlatans, every one of them, and if you are a member in such congregations, leave that organization and find a true church. [2 Corinthians 6:17]: “Therefore “Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you.”

If you find yourself feeling down because of financial lack, just remember that you – we – are the salt of the earth in our Savior’s eyes, and that is worth more than all the gold in all the banks and mountains of the whole earth! He favors the poor. Till that big day, be happy with what you have – we don’t need to be like them, for crying out loud, they’re trying to mesh their consciousness into computers because they erroneously think they can live forever – but we know there’s another – a better – Way. One that actually works. It’s true they run our countries for now, but that will not always be the case. [Luke 4:18,19]:

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,
Because He has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty those who are oppressed;
¹⁹ To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”

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

I suppose now that everything is out in the open it’s ok to go ahead and call it like it is. We are seeing things that have long been hidden from us, I guess because our time is so short now that it doesn’t matter any longer. Words that have been forbidden to say are all out there now. Keyboards that have been silent all of a sudden are screaming forbidden words and thoughts and people are listening.

Due to the proliferation of alternative news sources, great men are being recognized now, no matter which side of the political spectrum, which country, which of the many rivers of society they choose to raft upon. Great men are being recognized, for despite whatever insane narrative is being spun, great men do great things, a fact of life that cannot be disputed. Heroes, who have been heroes all along, in Yemen, in Iran, and in Lebanon are being seen for who they actually are.

The mainstream media has lost its grip on the minds of more people than the spinmeisters had imagined. There are few left in society who believe anything the western media says anymore. They have brought this upon themselves by the decades of false narratives and outright lies propagated by those in control of said narratives. One positive result of this is that great men are now revealed as great men, no matter the extent to which the Orwellian brush tries to paint them otherwise.

Vladimir Putin is a great man. He has repeatedly shown his devotion to his people and his nation. No western leader can make that boast. It would be laughable if they even tried, now that their fealty to a foreign country is so openly revealed to the world. But more importantly, to the American public. Mr. Putin is 100 percent Russian. Unlike western leaders, he claims no allegiance to any other nation. He has made a great effort to not only keep the Russian Christian church safe and secure, but to ensure that the people of his country and of other countries know where he stands. Western leaders fall over each other in their efforts to show fealty to their foreign shekelmasters, even to the extent of passing unconstitutional legislation which, among other things, makes teaching a lot of the Bible illegal. The great leader, Mr. Putin, protects Christianity; American politicians attack Christianity at the behest of the synagogue of Satan.

I am an American Navy veteran, and I can very much appreciate Vladimir Putin for his loyalty to his country, unlike American politicians who hastened to stifle an investigation, much less retaliation when their favorite foreign nation intentionally attacks one of our (unarmed) ships and kills American servicemen. Vladimir Putin would not have allowed that to go unresolved. This is how a great man would react. He is a Russian patriot. Many of us American veterans have high regard for such a leader. If not for the dishonesty of the western media, I’ve no doubt that American civilians would feel the same. It has become a symbol of American dissent to be called a Putin stooge, or some variation thereof. If someone calls me a Putin stooge, I will wear it as a badge of honor.

Russia is steadily being seen as a nation of great men. Maybe they always were, and our illustrious media just hasn’t been able bring themselves to publicly acknowledge it. I only wish we had statesmen like Peskov and Sergei Lavrov. Or spokespersons like Maria Zakharova who, unlike the US mouthpieces like Kirby, Miller, and Sullivan, she actually can be believed when she says something. Now those guys are really smart men, very educated and have the capacity to make sense, it’s just that as they try to contort reality to defend obvious lies, they sound incredibly stupid. Everyone knows by now that nothing, I mean nothing, that comes out of the mouths of American government spokespersons can be relied on to be the truth. I.e., We see no evidence of genocide. They never tell us what evidence of genocide would look like.

Great men do great things. I would be the first to nominate Mr. Putin for a Nobel prize – well, ok, if a Nobel prize actually meant anything. The citizens of the world should nominate and select persons for such recognition by referendum instead of some committee of obviously misguided (Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize comes to mind) people. In the computer and internet age, it would be easy to do. In that way, great men could be recognized by those who matter – the people of the world. At any rate, I’d bet western leaders would be hard put to come to grips with their own people voting for someone like Vladimir Putin who they’ve taken such pains to vilify. Russians get a great man like Mr. Putin. America gets a State Department led by Zionists who have the interests of a foreign country in mind and a swamp full of demonic Satan worshippers.

If the people in Washington DC push Mr. Putin into a nuclear war, I won’t hold it against him for having to destroy this country. He has tried everything under the sun to get the insane lunatics to back off, but they are hell bent on pushing him into it. It would be nice though, if he, and the Russian people knew there are a lot of us in America who detest the behavior of those who purport to be our leaders. Men and women who actually openly serve a foreign nation and have turned against America, and will see this country destroyed at the bidding of Zionism.

Nevertheless, Vladimir Putin is a great man. We can only wish for someone like him here in the land of the free.

Iosef Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili. While I would never presume to be able to pronounce that mouthful of consonants and syllables, I’m grateful to whoever shortened it to Joseph Stalin. Stalin was the leader of the Soviet Union before and during WWII, He was reputed to be a tyrannical dictator of the first order and under his rule, some 20 million people died in the Soviet Union (USSR). Now that we’ve seen in our lives what a country looks like under the rule of a totalitarian madman, we might offer some prognostications about what is likely to happen in our country down the road.

Like Stalin, Trump is predisposed to putting his name on whatever he can, as long as it’s something that will garner lots of attention. Same for his image – there are Trump statues going up around the country, typically either at his behest or as a result of machinations by someone to gain his favor. It works, and he’s so self-absorbed that he doesn’t realize it’s being done to use him for whatever purpose the machinator has in mind. FIFA Peace Prize indeed! He’s simply too taken aback in his imagination that he is a much-beloved leader, damn the polls. He’s absolutely convinced they are all fake anyway.

Unlike the prewar USSR, the US has shredded remnants of a constitution, which, when the justices of the Supreme Court have a rare moment of constitutional clarity, can, and often is, referenced to hold his more malignant excesses in check, otherwise, like Stalin, Trump would undoubtedly be executing his ever growing number of political opponents. Nevertheless, there are gold- colored statues going up in public places, Trump images appearing on US passports, renaming of institutions originally named to honor men who only Trump would have the brass to consider himself worthy to be named beside. It’s obvious from the performers refusing to do business at the Kennedy Center that no one else thinks the Kennedy name should be so desecrated.

Stalin was a genuine narcissistic freak show, even having the great Russian city which is now St. Petersburg, named Stalingrad, a city famous for what was perhaps the most significant part of the conflict with Nazi Germany. People feared Stalin, much like the fawning embarrassments to the United States that occupy the Republican controlled Congress and who grace the cabinet. Although Trump doesn’t have the authority (yet) to have his political opposition or critics executed, I don’t think there are many Americans who have a shred of doubt that he would gleefully do so if allowed. Stalin did.

There were lots of statues of Stalin in the USSR. The Russian folks learned, just like many Americans, to appeal to their narcissistic leader by presenting him with gifts and statues of himself to gain favor, or at a minimum, to avert his opprobrium. The difference is that Stalin was perfectly willing to avail himself of his secret police (now think ICE) to permanently silence his critics. As mentioned earlier, there were millions of Russians who learned the hard way.

When it came his turn to cash in, Stalin had inculcated such fear in his underlings that he had, as was normal, been alone in his living quarters and when he failed to show up for breakfast, everyone was so afraid of him, that his staff people were hesitant to go into his living area to check on him, fearing his wrath at being disturbed. This went on for three days until someone finally worked up the nerve to go in and check on him to find him on the floor where he lay after suffering a stroke days earlier. He was alive but did not survive long. Even in first aid training they teach that time is of critical essence in getting a stroke victim to treatment, but since Stalin was feared so much, he was allowed to suffer fatal damage. So much for a narcissistic maniac creating the conditions which caused his own demise.

I guess one of the points of this posts is to look back at history to get an idea of what most likely awaits Trump’s legacy. There are those who would publicly argue this, but no one in his circles really likes him, but he’s the last person to know that. His own kids are circling like buzzards waiting for him to bequeath his fortune if he still has anything left. He gets the same treatment and feigned respect that any wealthy man gets, and when it’s over, history will most likely not be kind to his memory. Like Stalin, his statues will gleefully be pulled down; like Stalin, his cohorts and consorts will rush to remove their names from any association with him. The Arch, if it ever is erected, will surely be demolished, his image will immediately be removed from passports by the next president who will without doubt be a democrat (hopefully an independent) who will set about undoing all the carelessly crafted executive orders. The few world maps that had name changes of the Gulf of Mexico will be renamed. A democratic president and congress will have his insider trading gambits and his Epstein connections made public and he will, if he’s still on this side of the abyss, be prosecuted and sentenced. If he has already passed to his ultimate fate, his legacy will be forever tarnished as his misdeeds will be revealed publicly as they should already have been. Oh, and if it is ever finished the gaudy edifice he’s so intent on constructing will be renamed the Barak Obama Memorial Ballroom – or some such, but you can bet Trump’s name will be expunged from all of Washington DC.

His Zionist friends and Israel will not lament his departure. No one will. His whole tenure has only been a grift for the wealthy. If there are any coins or medallions around with his image, I highly doubt that anyone outside the 50,053 wayward voters in district 4 in Kentucky will want them. There will indeed be a mad rush to eliminate any mention of the man other than to recall a time in American history when some the voters were madly in love with a New York City real estate shyster who conned them. And that’s where the similarity ends. Stalin didn’t try to scam people into liking him and therefore he had no illusions about his legacy. He understood well that he was a thoroughly disliked dictator and he treated his countrymen accordingly. The biggest difference in Trump and Stalin was that although he treated his countrymen with the highest contempt, Stalin never in a thousand years would have run the USSR on orders from another country.

The arch and the statues will fall and there will never be a temple or shrine to Donald J Trump. World, but especially American, historians will look upon this era with shock, embarrassment, and dismay – but mostly with regret. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Numbers – we get caught up in numbers and I guess that’s human nature, but if we try and zoom out a bit, we might find that those precious numbers don’t rate all the significance we place on them. For instance(s), our bank account. Just look at how society regards our wealth and its influence on what we have been deceived into believing is our very definition of success. The higher the numbers of dollars, or bit coins, or whatever other pecuniary measures of our “success”, the more influence we have among our human peers. As measures of our success therefore, we think numbers matter, but they really don’t. Consider that when we face the judgement, a big part of our accountability for the life we lived will rest on how much wealth we amassed instead of helping others with our fortunes. When we get there, we will undoubtedly find that the wealth we accumulated likely works proportionately against us as far as our eternal punishment is weighed. As I write this post, I’m reminded of the significance of the numbers of viewers we try to amass with our posts, our videos, but too often it’s really the loudness of our voice we’re after.

I catch myself waxing disappointed sometimes because of the miniscule numbers of viewers my site gets, but if my goal is to promote the glory of Jesus Christ among my readers, then it might only take a few – even one – person reading one of these posts who decides to take up the cross and spread the message of the Spirit and that one person might be able to reach a multitude that this writer could not. It’s here that we’re staring at a concept where there’s an opportunity to learn something profound from one of my favorite people in the Bible – John the Baptist.

John was doing his thing baptizing people and some of the Jews approached him about the disciples of Jesus baptizing more people than John and his disciples. [John 3:26]: “ And they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified—behold, He is baptizing, and all are coming to Him!” It was mentioned to him as though John should have a problem with his diminishing numbers, but John, having been filled with the Holy Spirit from his mother’s womb, knew what was going on. [John 3:27-30]: “John answered and said, “A man can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from heaven. ²⁸ You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, ‘I am not the Christ,’ but, ‘I have been sent before Him.’ ²⁹ He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. Therefore, this joy of mine is fulfilled. ³⁰ He must increase, but I must decrease. Old John was perfectly content to let God’s plan play out, knowing that he had done his part – even though it was a lesser part compared to what was to come.

John understood that the whole plan was that the Gospel of Christ be initiated and spread from where he worked on the Jordan River at that time to the entire world of men. God had given him a job to do – to prepare the way for the Lord and to be the first witness of His Glory and that being the friend of the bridegroom was plenty enough for him. In fact, he rejoiced that he had been allowed to usher in the Covenant of Jesus Christ even if it now meant he would diminish in importance going forward. So taking a lesson from John, we, as Christian servants of Jesus should be honored to be allowed to spread His Gospel, no matter whether we get a thousand readers, or just one. Or if we are a pastor with tens of thousands of members or only a few, or a fellow Christian with only one listener. That one, dear reader, might just be you. You might just be the person God has assigned this post to reach so that you can take His message to people and places this writer has no way of reaching. Think about that!

This website is not monetized, so as far as this old hillbilly’s meager bank account goes, the numbers of readers here do not reflect any semblance of my success. I’ve written before, and this is a perfect place to say it again, the only measure of success that matters for us human beings is at the end of our age to hear our Savior say, [Matthew 25:21]: “His lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’

There are many threats being put forward nowadays that only serve to distract us from our real purpose in this life – that is to serve the Lord. Among those distractions is the increasing fear of the world being taken over by demonic artificial intelligence, by those demonic data centers that are only being set up to spy on humanity and establish dreaded institutions and practices like social credit and other such Satanic claptrap. Numbers again. In order to “successfully” navigate the new world order and its new requirements we will be expected to obey, we are to meekly accept enslavement to evil rulers, and for some of us, by the grace given to us – that just ain’t gonna happen. There’s another Way, and I’m here to tell you it’s the only Way to “succeed”, to be victorious over this growing darkness of which the enemy would have us live in trepidation. Remember what our beloved Savior said, [Matthew 10:28]: “And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” How do we avoid fear of our enemy? [1 John 4:18]: “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.” Therefore, we must fervently pray that the Holy Spirit will teach us perfect love, then the fear thing will be resolved.

Nothing in this life is easy – if it was easy for a human being to properly serve the Lord, there wouldn’t be much value in our servitude. No, the Lord knows our path will be demanding; there’s a price to be paid, and we must be willing to pay it – whatever the cost. Read Bonhoeffer – “The Cost of Discipleship”. Remember Jesus on the cross. He suffered immensely – He didn’t just casually tell Peter that he would deny that he even knew Jesus – He must have been heartbroken to know that His best friend and disciple would deny Him and at the end He would be utterly and completely abandoned by all, but that was part of the cost of what He did for us. He endured great pain and unimaginable humiliation. That was a big part of what it was for Him to have become human. If it had been easy, it wouldn’t have been the great sacrifice it was, so yes, we have a hill to climb ourselves, otherwise our own efforts at servitude would be less meaningful. Take heart though, the more we are tested, the greater God’s plan for us.

Not trying to take up too much of your day here, but we have to encourage one another as we are able, and this post is just one way, there are many opportunities to spread the word, and we should take advantage of them as often as we can. In the end it will have been worth it. In the end, we’ll see that serving the Lord is the only important thing we could do in this whole life – the ONLY thing. As an aside and speaking of our eternal joy in heaven, the apostle said we can’t imagine the joy that awaits us there, [1 Corinthians 2:9]: “But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” so stay close to Christ whatever you do! And forget numbers that have no bearing on success – and please encourage others to learn of Him – when you do that, you will become unimaginably successful!

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