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.
