January 29, 2024. Her name was Hind Rajab, she was six years old. I’d be willing to wager that there are not many people alive who personally know who she was. Even less who care. Lots of us have heard her story, though. All that’s left now is a memory of a little six-year-old girl who met a horrifying end at the hands of brutal monsters.

Her mom says she wanted to grow up and become a doctor. Surely she had other dreams, as any child her age would have. I have four daughters of my own, and was able to raise them, I have seen how little girls think, how they dream, how they love. God created them as little, vulnerable creatures who need care, security; someone to help them realize their hopes. Someone to rock them to sleep and tell them bedtime stories. Someone to grab their teddy bear and run to when the scary things under their beds wake them up. They are completely innocent, and those who try to justify what happened to this child on the grounds that she somehow deserved it – well, there’s a special place in hell for them. Jesus said it would be better for those who harm little ones if they had a millstone tied around their neck and were thrown into a lake. She is in the arms of the Lord now, and He will not forget what the demons did to her. A special place in hell indeed.

She was in a car with her uncle and his wife and their four kids and they were trying to get somewhere they would be safe, but dark-hearted savage beasts targeted their automobile, killing everyone in the car except her and her 15-year-old cousin. The cousin was able to call for help on the phone but was killed while pleading for help. Hind took the phone and continued to frantically beg for help, but that piteous phone call from a terrified child barely out of infancy proved to be her ending. When the scene was examined, they found her lifeless little body shredded with bullet wounds.

Why was this innocent little child such a threat to the most moral army in the world? Was she holding a teddy bear that looked like an AK-47? Why on earth would these cowardly soldiers open up on a tiny child with such wanton ferocity? These aren’t people with any semblance of human compassion. I can’t help but recall the Nazi SS leader who once said that if you couldn’t put a gun to the head of a little child and pull the trigger, there was no place in the SS for you. The IDF guys who did this proved they had the moral fortitude to have qualified for the SS.

A Palestinian Red Cross ambulance was called to rescue her. The EMTs got permission from the IDF, and a route was established by the IDF and sent to the ambulance, but while en route, the most moral army in the world intentionally fired on the ambulance, killing Hind’s would-be rescuers. Then they continued firing on the vehicle where the tiny, terrified child was trapped with six dead relatives until they killed her.

“Come take me. Will you come and take me? I’m so scared, please come!” were Hind’s last words.

Our illustrious House speaker, Mike Johnson, was on the news yesterday berating our college kids for pro Palestine protests. As far as I’m concerned, those protests are the ONLY things happening in America that are working in the direction of justice. Mike Johnson is just another venomous AIPAC shill, and you can discern that from every misleading sentence that comes out of his pie hole. And he thinks his rational-sounding words are getting past the American public as though they might actually believe what he is saying. Everyone knows better. Those people over there are being slaughtered en masse, and he and everyone else know it. It’s as though Greenblatt and Korn gave him a speech with orders to follow the script to the letter, and it’s painfully obvious to everyone he’s doing just that. There’s a special place in hell for the Mike Johnsons and Greg Abbots who defend these monsters. That goes for the Tom Cottons, Judas Hagees, and all else who defend the barbarity that is taking place in Palestine, not to mention the cops who are attacking the kids protesting this evil.

There are many atrocities of unspeakable malevolence taking place in Gaza right now, but the debacle that was Hind’s murder ranks among the very worst. It looks like the plan is to smother this story with so many others that it will be buried and forgotten. We cannot allow this to happen. I’m 70 years old and all my life I was spoon-fed stories about how evil the Nazis were and heard lots of stories of their infamous brutality, but the death of Hind Rajab is surely as atrocious as anything the Nazis ever did. When this “war” is over, we must never allow Hind’s murder to be forgotten. Those who are guilty of it must be pursued like Wiesenthal hunted the Nazis until justice finds them. Starting at the top. Never again means never again!

But that’s just the justice they need to face in this life. The punishment God has in store for the Synagogue of Satan will be the ultimate and eternal hell. I realize I’m supposed to pray for them and once in a while I do try, but it’s hard to do when they insist on this level of merciless barbarism and lies. It’s almost like trying to pray for Satan or Dick Cheney or something, but then God knows our hearts.

Rest in eternal peace in the loving arms of the Lord, little Hind. We will hold your memory in our hearts.

prologue: This is another attempt to stimulate interest in critical world events by presenting the reader with some bits of speculation on what could happen based on current events – thoughts that cannot be found in the mainstream media. Posts from this site are read in countries all over the world. folkpotpourri.com website is convinced that public interest is of crucial importance if we are to stop this runaway train that is Western government. By presenting narratives of what might be left of our world post-apocalypse, perhaps enough interest can be garnered to help stimulate ideas on how to change our direction, and determination to do it. -MK

We finally made it here, and it’s been quite the ride. Looking over a bleak landscape that one could only imagine in the darkest and most horrifying of nightmares, I can but think this is the terminal station to where the train of humankind was bound – for thousands of years. For most of those years, we didn’t have the means to accomplish this, but malevolent entities posing as scientists of the mid twentieth century finally developed technologies that could do the job. They joined forces with other malevolent actors posing as politicians so as to become thus staffed for the task. There’s no denying it – we all knew what they were up to, but there weren’t enough opposition voices, and the ones that did speak weren’t loud enough to overcome that terrifying bloodlust that many humans carry inside them nor were they sufficiently powerful so as to overcome society’s appalling lack of courage.

Some days ago, the unthinkable happened. Russian submarines had for weeks been shadowing every nuclear-armed sub of the US, Britian, Israel and France, just waiting for the order to come down. If the Russian and Chinese submarines could maneuver in such a way as to get the drop on the allied subs and report their advantageous positions, the Russian and Chinese leaders had finally had enough of western criminal behavior to begin the process – they were determined to sink them all. They had S-500 missiles, laser weapons, all sorts of Electronics Warfare assets ready to fire on satellites, military installations, and almost every western aircraft, both in the sky and on the hundreds of bases around the world. And there were lights in the sky – everywhere.

Russia had sleeper cells comprised of Chinese, Central and South American, and Mideast commandoes stationed at strategic locations throughout the US, many of them nearby to nuclear missile silos. Their job would be to destroy as many of the silos and their contents as fast as they could once the order was given, so few of the aging minutemen were ever launched, or didn’t get sufficiently airborne to evade the weapons that had been trained on them for years. But it was the submarines that had to be adequately targeted before anything else could happen. In addition, there were hundreds of enemy commandoes at strategic locations near US air bases, both in the US and in foreign nations, ready to fire SAMs at B-52s and B-1 and B-2 bombers before they could get airborne, or very shortly thereafter. Stealth fighters were attractive targets everywhere, mostly on the ground. Many, many adversaries got into the US during the open border times and were thus stationed and prepared to disable US assets.

Places like Guam, Diego Garcia, and the Aleutians were all under the watchful eyes of Russian and Chinese submarines, again, waiting for the order. There would be no significant aircraft launches from these bases. Other targets of opportunity, especially for sleeper cells, were factories where munitions and weapons were produced, although when the big missiles started flying, they became inconsequential as Russian Sarmats would take care of them. Each and every one of them.

For many years, the Russians had patiently watched as the US military slowly self-destructed. They learned much about NATO’s capabilities (or lack thereof) from the murderous wars in Ukraine, the middle east, Afghanistan, Serbia and far too many others. While Langley and London frantically counted tanks and artillery pieces, the Russian military played cat-and-mouse with them, fully aware that tanks and destroyers would be of limited use when the real war started.

While the Russians, Iranians, Chinese, and North Koreans concentrated on weapons that worked, US defense contractors and their military and congressional co-conspirators concentrated on weapons systems that made them a lot of money – whether they worked or not was of little consideration. That’s how we ended up with flying bathtubs for trillions of dollars. The US got caught up in wokeism, with the most capable of West Pointers disgustedly leaving the service to the likes of the Rachel Levines and useless charlatans like Mike Pompeo, David Petraeus and others who were way more interested in their bank accounts and displaying subservience to Zionists than to military strategy. Putin knew this, Xi knew this. Their patience, though sometimes frustrating, paid off in spades. You could see the benefit of their patience from the developments in the Ukraine, but the military imposters in leadership positions in the west never caught on.

While the nuclear weapons got the most attention, both sides pulled out secret weapons arsenals that the crew of the starship Enterprise would have envied. Destroyers, cruisers, and aircraft carriers coasted to a stop in the oceans, completely disabled by electronic warfare weapons. Some of them were sunk by hypersonic missiles; their radars couldn’t even see them coming. With Russian and Iranian EW weapons successfully engaged, all shipboard systems went dead, propulsion systems shut down, the electricity went off and soon enough they only had a contingent of marines on board with rifles and handguns, not a serious threat to anyone, especially in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. A dead aircraft carrier with no defensive capability, languishing in the middle of the ocean is completely useless, unless you’re a Russian submarine captain looking for some shiny chest decorations.

All of the aforementioned events happened in the first minutes of the conflict. The vaunted US nuclear triad was almost completely disabled, dozens of submarines in pieces, headed for Davy Jones’ locker. Anti-aircraft systems had been developed and honed to the degree that no western bombers were able to get to positions to threaten. North Korea and China had developed EMP weapons that completely shut down electrical grids throughout Europe and North America. The Russians, Chinese, Iranians, and North Koreans had spent years developing shielding and Faraday Caging for their weapons, so the EMP didn’t effect their systems, while Admiral Levine was spending his days chatting with the girls at the nail salon.

The US found out too late, that many of their so-called allies weren’t really their friends after all. Nations like Türkiye, Saudi Arabia, Romania, and Egypt actually assisted the opposition when push came to shove, many others following suit. Several countries, including Israel had been suspected of sharing intelligence all along with America’s adversaries. Some of them were in a position to help by actions such as shooting down American missiles and aircraft. Once the action had started and everyone knew this was it, several of the nationals in countries where the US had military installations took part by rapidly destroying American assets. Such was their arrogance and hubris, the incompetent people who had been promoted to the upper echelons of American intelligence had sufficiently degraded the organizations that they had no idea of the low regard these “allies” held for Americans. So much for “soft power”.

During the last years prior to destruction, the US congress took up all of their legislative time debating on things which only served to demonstrate which political party or members thereof could prostrate themselves most maniacally before their wealthy Zionist donors. Donald Trump, the favorite of trailer park people in rural America, had demonstrated his fealty to Israel so much during his first term, that only an imbecile could have believed his MAGA insanity. These people embarrassed everyone with an IQ above room temperature. In short, no one in positions of authority paid any attention to America’s strategic posture, only Israel’s. This came back to bite them in a big way.

The land is destroyed and there are very few survivors. All the wealthy people responsible for it are either dead or deep underground in bunkers they designed and provisioned to keep them alive until it is safe to come out. Did they actually think this through? What do they expect to see when they emerge, blinking and squinting at the sunlight? If there are still any survivors, it is guaranteed with no possible doubt, that they will be immediately taken captive – if there is any organized entity, I’m quite sure they will have reinstituted the death penalty, but more than likely they will be violently assailed and killed on the spot – maybe eaten, depending on the degree of starvation the survivors have endured. Seriously, what were they thinking? Did they actually believe that after what they did, all that gold they had hoarded down there would avail them in any possible way? Angry, starving, destitute people won’t have any appreciation for gold, or anything else they can’t eat. What, indeed, were they thinking?

No more yachts, no private jets, no luxurious condo on the beach. It’s all over. Why did the maniacs keep pushing Russia and China? They could have backed off at any time and the Russians, being sensible and way more honest, would never have waged war. Jim Wright promised the Russians back in Reagan’s day when the USSR broke up that NATO wouldn’t move an inch east – oh, except for East Germany. And Poland, and Romania, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Bulgaria, Türkiye, etc. Oh, and now of course Finland and Sweden. And for sure Ukraine if those pesky Russkies would have stayed home.

Most Americans were killed during the hour of destruction that was WWIII. The United States is now a vast, poisonous wasteland, almost completely devoid of life. There was a time not long ago when the people of this land could have risen up and avoided this catastrophe, and everyone knew it, but they all just sat around waiting for someone else to step up and lead a charge that would never take place. They all died the coward’s death, and maybe rightfully so. I don’t guess they were thinking of their families. The demons who made it happen will suffer the most in the long run, because many of them are still alive somewhere down there nearer to hell and they may as well get used to it – it’s where they will spend eternity.

The college kids have nothing to be ashamed about though, unlike the uniformed fascists who were attacking them on behalf of world Zionism. Those creatures got theirs though. What? Did they actually believe they were something other than useful idiots and that their benefactors would save them a nice cozy place in those plush bunkers? They are all dead now too. And their kids and families. I think they were probably the biggest fools of all. While they were gleefully whacking those kids and demonstrating all the incredibly masculine tactics their Zionist instructors taught them by wrestling women to the ground, their world was dissolving, but such was their relish for their precious authority, they joined the demonic leaders and were led to their own destruction, battling fervently against the only possible group that was trying to take us in the right direction. How foolish can people be? So, like it was in the Vietnam days, it became the police against the kids. The kids won that time, the police won this time, and now we sadly look upon the results.

epilogue: By the grace of God it hasn’t happened yet, but if we don’t make serious changes and soon, this is likely to be where we are headed. This site continues to do posts of warning – looking ahead to what might be if we don’t change directions. Food for thought sprinkled with generous helpings of opinion, but hopefully with some clarity of intent. Human existence is too important, too precious, to allow a relatively few self-interested purveyors of evil to destroy our world. I’m an old man and cannot do much except to write, exhort and pray mightily to Jesus for our deliverance. You can too.

C’est la vie.

It’s cold out – very cold! Unfortunately, it looks like those scientists who suggested that a “nuclear winter” would follow a strategic nuclear exchange were right. Here it is late in May and another hard freeze is finishing off the few leaves and grasses that are left from nature’s feeble attempt at springtime. So much dust and smoke got kicked up into the atmosphere that the sun hasn’t been visible since the catastrophe several months ago.

My propane tank is getting low and I have to use my wood stove for heat, which is okay – I used it during normal winters and it heats up this old farmhouse – or what’s left of it – fairly well. One of the worst aspects of life now is the absence of light, even in the daytime you can barely see. All the preppers built up solar arrays for power when the grid went down, but most of them are useless with no sunlight. All those rechargeable batteries I bought aren’t much good without a way to recharge them.

We kept several cans of gas full for just in case, but by now we are getting low. The generator uses more gas than we really expected, so we only use it when we need to run the well pump. When we crank it up, we search the internet for information – any information – but there’s nothing. The satellites were the first things to go when the big war started. We turn on a few lights, glorious lights! At least for the few minutes of electricity we indulge ourselves, but just knowing the horrid darkness will return too soon takes away any real joy in the brief moments of light.

It’s no use to try and charge the phones anymore. They don’t work – nothing works. A few people show up coming down the driveway once in a while. I’ll leave it up to the reader at this point to decide what to do when a stranger comes up. You have to consider first and foremost, what kind of a threat he/she brings. At this point of existence, survival has become the pre-eminent occupation of our lives. Sometimes a hungry youngster shows up and the natural inclination for a normal human being would be to render whatever help we can offer, but there are grownups in the shadows waiting for us to drop our guard, even for a moment, and then that survival instinct kicks in.

During those brief moments of having lights on, we have to be careful to cover all the windows so no one can see our precious light. We use candles too. We have a hastily constructed outhouse. That would have been a no-brainer for any thoughtful prepper, and we should have had a good one on standby, but some things just get overlooked. Talk about a freezing experience! Nobody reads or works crosswords while on the pot.

There are some, very few, good aspects of this existence though. We don’t worry about the government spying on us anymore. It looks like we will never need to run air conditioners again. We haven’t had traffic on our local roads in a while, and there are no more chem trails. Well, I’m guessing there are no more, because we couldn’t see them if there were. Maybe when the skies finally clear, nature will once more begin to right itself and God will take control again.

Once in a while we get some information from people on CB radios, and we heard that one of the first places to get destroyed, even before the pentagon, was Langley, VA. That’s where the snake den we knew as the CIA was located. Supposedly the Russians hit the place with several hypersonic missiles and destroyed everything several hundred feet down into the ground. Washing DC itself has been a huge smoking crater for a while now. All of the big cities in the US have been obliterated as far as we know.

The Russians hit the east coast up near New York City with one of those Poseidon torpedoes they were chomping at the bit to fire off, and yes there was a huge radioactive tsunami that leveled the city and another hit in Norfolk, VA. There were others on the West Coast near San Diego and LA. We saw trails in the sky where missiles were flying from all directions – some were ours but most of the ones we saw were Russian, Chinese, and North Korean. The sounds of the explosions were like thunder, even the ones far away. We could see the upper parts of the mushroom clouds up toward St Louis and south toward Little Rock. At least the folks in those places, and many others, were quickly vaporized and never knew what hit them. Then came the darkness…

We have a little food left, but it won’t last long. The hardest part for me so far was losing my dogs. There was just no way we could work things so they could survive. Since this could happen in real life, it’s too painful for me to elaborate on, so I’ll talk about other things.

We decided early on to start using our spring out back for drinking water. Actually, we had little choice, but so far none of us have gotten sick or irradiated from it. The pools it feeds haven’t frozen over – in fact they hadn’t ever frozen even during normal winters. There are a few scraggly raccoons and deer that drink from it too, and we harvest some of them as needed. I spent several hours back prior to the war building a big smoker so we could preserve meat and it has come in handy. I suppose we could theoretically last as long as the firewood is available, and of course, assuming there is a supply of meat, but lacking any plants or vegetables, we can’t live healthily for very long.

The EMP from high-altitude weapons took out almost everything electrical. We were lucky that one of our generators survived, but with the gas supply dwindling, the generator is just prolonging our agony. Our refrigerators and freezers couldn’t avail us due to the lack of power, so we gorged ourselves on the rapidly thawing foodstuffs while it was still good. It was a shame to lose that much food – we frantically canned what we could and managed to save a good bit of it, but even though none of us ever learned much about canning things, somehow we managed to work it out.

As things stand right now, we don’t have a functioning government at any level, local, state, or federal. There is no more US government, no more FBI, IRS, DHS, etc. The people and organizations who write government checks are history. All banks are gone, obliterated. Those who enjoyed lots of money during the good times are either dead or in holes in the ground. All military organizations are finished. We don’t have any idea how many survivors there are, nor where they might be. We are at a threadbare primeval existence, and we presume the rest of the world is in the same condition. Though the African nations weren’t hit as hard as Europe, Asia, and America, the extreme cold has taken a devastating toll on those nations who were used to warm climates.

Our suspicion is that there are pockets of bedraggled survivors, probably many of them deathly sick from radiation and disease such as typhus and other maladies that accompany mass death. Will any of humanity survive this apocalypse? Who knows? If humans do survive, they’ll be in a primitive world where food is extremely scarce. There’ll undoubtedly be cannibalism, it’s happened before. They’ll eat grass, roots, or whatever else they can scavenge. They’ll live in a world where an infection from a minor injury can kill them with no medicine which we’ve come to take for granted.

Survivors will live in a world where a human life may be of no more value than a candle or a bar of soap. Education will have diminished to a point where children – if there are children – will primarily be taught what kind of wild plants are edible and maybe how to hunt with primitive weapons and traps. Animal hides and edible nuts will be the currency of civilizations – which won’t be civilized at all. There will be no law enforcement, no protection for the underprivileged, if they can’t run with the big dogs, they’ll have to stay on the porch, but there won’t be any food on the porch, people will become savage, a must for survival.

It won’t be a pretty world.

I struggle mightily to find words with which to express my heartfelt sorrow for you as pictures flood social media, pictures of lifeless children held by bereaved parents, pictures which forever testify to unspeakable evil. You’ve done nothing to deserve the atrocities leveled upon you, and I join you as you cry to God for comfort, for some semblance of hope which you cannot see from where you are. I cannot begin to explain why you must suffer thus, except that perhaps your martyred children shall eternally testify against those who brought your suffering about. The innocent children are now with the loving Father, nevermore to suffer, to fear. Hold onto this hope.

Events which have rapidly overtaken the world, the west in particular over the past months, reveal the stark and brutal hearts of all who support this blatant genocide. Prior to the onset of the murderous ravage of your home, there were those – wealthy men behind the curtain – who could direct atrocities throughout the world without being revealed for their own part in them, but no more. The world will not and cannot go back to the days of the hidden hands. These demons in human form are now operating in the open for the world to see, some even waving their idolatrous Nazi flags in the congress chamber in celebration of their major theft of great sums of money, they also line the pews of great temples of blasphemy they call churches.

Political people who publicly support this murder of innocent starving peasants and vote to enable it are the most egregious of the lot, for sure, but there are others who deserve dishonorable mention. Among them are people who own stock in the “defense” industries. These ones might just be as guilty of murder of innocents as the pilots who drop the bombs, the snipers who kill children, or the generals who gave the orders to do so. They are especially conniving with the darkest of hearts, for in their insatiable greed, they give up their souls, knowing the weapons from which they make money are being used to slaughter innocent people. As one would expect, many of them pile the cash onto the offering plates of the false prophets so as to assuage their consciences, but such gestures will not avail them at judgement. As an American Christian with a sorrowful heart, I sincerely apologize for what these people are doing to you.

Jesus said at the judgement there will be many who will try to defend their behavior with examples of acts of feigned righteousness, but He will tell them to depart from Him because He never knew them. It’s no doubt hard to reconcile your despair with this knowledge, but when the Lord refuses them entry into His kingdom, that will be the most unimaginably horrifying punishment that could ever happen to them. They will get a chance to see the indescribable beauty and joy of the kingdom, and then forevermore rue their decision to behave as they have, as they gnash their teeth in the darkness of eternal hell. Rest assured, my innocent brothers and sisters, justice will be served for you and there’s absolutely nothing, short of repentance they can do to avoid it.

My heart is heavy as I read about the slaughter that’s going on and see the tiny ones wrapped for burial with tears of distraught mothers and fathers wetting their faces. I cannot imagine your grief, it must be unbearable, and I pray for you daily. This post has spoken of some of those who are guilty of this unspeakable murder, but there are others who should be pointed out – those who turn their faces away and pretend this insidious behavior is somehow normal. They ignore what’s going on as though it has nothing to do with them. They don’t even try to empathize with you, somehow they twist their morality to rationalize it, when God is giving them a front-row seat to the most insidious event that has ever happened, at least in our lifetime, and with this opportunity to witness the atrocities, He’s extending the opportunity for them to repent, but most of them aren’t listening. They are avoiding God as studiously as they avoid facing the evil.

As it is said, God works in mysterious ways, and we are witnessing unexpected participation in the resistance to the atrocities that are happening from quarters where no one anticipated any activity. I did a post yesterday about all of the universities of the US and the students who are defying authority and coming out in big numbers to protest. https://folkpotpourri.com/wisdom-of-the-children/ They are calling out the evil that’s being perpetrated in the name of America, and they’re doing something. Imagine for a moment that of all secular places, in colleges, kids are standing up with more Christian conviction than the hypocrites in the churches, and I thank God for them.

It’s like walking up on a person you thought was dead and noticing a heartbeat – slowly coming around, young kids seeing the evil before their eyes and deciding to do something about it. I only wish there were more of our older folk who could bring themselves to do likewise – oh well, we’ll take what we can get for now, but I do believe God has a hand in this movement. Think about it for a second – we’ve got thousands of college kids making their voices heard about indisputable murder and genocide, and our politicians are dancing around their halls waving Ukranian flags in celebration of a bunch of money they’ve just stolen.

I don’t know about other seventy-year-old geezers, but I’m thoroughly ashamed, no disgusted, with our government. The AIPAC lobby is acting, for all the country to see, in support of murder of innocent people and our politicians are whole-heartedly supporting them for shekels. Billionaires in this country who are rich (as always, through theft and dishonesty) are having college presidents dismissed who do not bend the knee to them. The US is engaged in two wars at present because the Israeli lobby gave them orders to be so. Congress is passing laws to shut down free speech to try and shut down opposition to genocide. Our congressmen and women are climbing all over each other to demonstrate to their masters just how subservient they are, and America be damned. If they listened to the voices of those college kids, maybe we could begin the process of helping Gaza. Of getting food to your starving children.

Once more I wish to extend my condolences to you, the people of Palestine, who are having to endure hardships that we can only imagine. I apologize for the behavior of my government, and for my fellow citizens who seem willing to turn their heads away and accept the travesties that are going on. It just came out in the last couple of days that over half a million Ukranian soldiers have been slaughtered because of the malevolent greed of the very same people who are responsible for your plight and because of the same apathetic citizens of this country. Except for the college kids.

God bless all who see this and have the courage to call it what it is.

My heart is lifted with promise for the future of America and our kids are leading the way. I’ve been spending my time lately heartbroken at the affairs of the world. Specifically, there’s an outrageous horror going on over in occupied Palestine, and the people promoting and defending it are the same monsters that control our media, our banks, our government. There seems to be no way to upend this travesty of international justice.

Congress is frantically trying to pass laws to keep the truth at bay, making common words of our vocabulary illegal, designating words like river and sea to be part of hate speech. Police are out in force doing what police always do. In my youth, it was busting hippies’ heads, but today it’s dragging pro-Palestinian protesters off to jail, it doesn’t matter to them as long as they get to wear the Shire law enforcement feathers in their hats (Let the Tolkien fans understand) so they can feel important.

I’m an old man now, but I still get a charge out of watching the public step up to injustice – especially injustice that is so appallingly promoted by the groveling bunch of whores we have in our congress, which is completely owned by the powerful AIPAC lobby. They never miss an opportunity to show their true colors, and they ain’t red, white, and blue. Supposed judges are bought off all they way to the top of the judiciary, so there’s really no chance for justice to emerge from there, and the executive has been completely taken over by the bankers’ representatives and the AIPAC lobby. Just when I begin to lose hope of any human institution being able to overcome this travesty, up step the college kids! Again.

None of these kids today remember our battle during the Vietnam days when a different travesty was happening, but they are taking the same tact we did. In our day it was with flowers, love, music, and Jesus, and after years of struggle and with the chagrin of the establishment, we won our battle. The US military left Saigon in 1975. But way too many Vietnamese peasants died while we were fighting. Us kids won the day back then, and it looks like the only ones truly fighting this time are the young folks again. There are a few blessed supporters like Aaron Mate, Judge Napolitano, Max Blumenthal and others. And we must never forget the conviction and courage of Aaron Bushnell. God bless y’all.

Y’all need to start writing some for-real protest songs. Don’t worry about stepping on toes either. You have the marches going, and I’m going to drag my old decrepit butt out there and join y’all for the thrill of watching the man squirm. This genocide has to stop – human beings are better than this. Maybe it’s fitting for the youngsters to lead the way, maybe your parents can be ashamed of themselves like ours were for letting themselves be propagandized and brainwashed while the younger folks could see through the crap and take action.

I’ve seen where the kids at Columbia University are being dragged off to jail and MIT seems to be following suit. The system got the presidents of Pennsylvania and Harvard kicked out, but the students made their voices heard. I’ve come a long way in a very short while, considering the contempt I’ve had for young people because of my misperception that y’all weren’t paying enough attention, but I guess in reality, it’s mostly older folks who have dropped the ball. You guys are stepping up in a big way and I’m big time proud of y’all. I’m not on top of all of it, but I’d wager that a lot more colleges are in this fight too. I sincerely hope so, and I’d love to get comments from all the ones who are in and their progress. Remember flowers (it’s springtime!), love, music, and Jesus – heavy on the Jesus part, without Him you can’t win – take it from a battle-scarred veteran of the aforementioned fight.

They called us, among other things, hippies. Us guys grew our hair long which was our way of rebelling against the established order. The man controlled the money, much the same as they do today, but that fact had little effect on a bunch of idealistic kids who found that we could operate without much of it. In today’s society, we constantly see members of the elite establishment step out of line and say things which, even though true, are just not allowed to be said, only to promptly come groveling before their money masters begging for forgiveness and retracting whatever forbidden thing they said. Thankfully we aren’t seeing the college kids doing that this time either. I guess idealistic young folks are much the same in any age.

God bless y’all kids. Keep up the good fight. Those innocent people’s lives are more important than some fat cat’s fat wallet. Keep this old hippy geezer informed on how you’re doing. I love y’all dearly!

Much Love,

MK

5 U.S. Code § 3331 – Oath of office

prev | next

An individual, except the President, elected or appointed to an office of honor or profit in the civil service or uniformed services, shall take the following oath: “I, AB, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.” This section does not affect other oaths required by law.

(Pub. L. 89–554, Sept. 6, 1966, 80 Stat. 424.)

The oath of office for the congress of the United States.  Each member of congress must swear or affirm this statement, hence it will be his/her duty to uphold this document, this concept, this supreme law of the land…

We have bald eagles in this part of the country – not an abundance of them, but enough so that we get a chance to enjoy the thrill of watching that majestic avian soar in the Ozark sky once in a while.  When I see one, I sometimes wonder what if he really could understand the role to which he has been assigned as our national emblem.  Maybe by some Providential determination of fate, he is able to look down upon the magnificent landscapes, the mountains, prairies, the cities, and woodlands and realize the significance he bears on those great wings.  If that were so, I’d wager he is ashamed nowadays, seeing how this once great notion of a republic has failed – or better, is in the process of failing.  The eagle didn’t take an oath, but sometimes it seems like he has served our country with more dedication than many who did.

If he could understand what’s going on, and if birds could cry, tears would fall like rain when he flies over the tent cities of Denver, Portland, the garbage strewn city streets like Kensington Avenue in Philadelphia, and so many other dismal scenes – watching human beings destroy themselves with hypodermic needles and hopelessness.  If he only understood human language, he’d be appalled at the sheer volume of absurdity reaching up into his abode from places like the Rayburn building coming from prostitutes and interlopers who now occupy seats once the province of honorable men.  Wise men who came before them once debated and made decisions there that were intended to serve that sacred oath they swore.  Representation of their constituents was paramount – it’s why they were there.  The eagle has watched in abject disgust and despondence as the caliber of the people in these once-honored offices has diminished to the extent that he is ready and willing to pass off his once lofty assignment to the buzzard – after all, that nasty creature would be a more fitting icon for today’s American politicians, but then it might be unfair to demean the vulture with this undeserved comparison, for – like the eagle – he didn’t swear an oath.

The stately eagle probably frowns over all the images of himself ubiquitously displayed on money, monuments, important documents, but I’d guess the most appalling to him is his caricature on the seal of the executive.  The presidential seal.  I’m sure he would be particularly embarrassed by what passes for executive leadership and has for many more terms now than I care to recall (and I’m old).  The presidency of this country is a sick and demented joke.  Look at the caliber of men we’ve had in office since Eisenhower.  With few exceptions, they’ve all been execrable liars and many even criminals.  Some – in fact many folks believe some are unconvicted war criminals.

Carrion eaters gorge themselves on carcasses until they can barely fly.  When they are startled while feasting on some road-killed delicacy, sometimes they must regurgitate considerable volumes of stomach content so they can quickly reduce their take-off weight and get airborne faster.  I wonder if the eagle does that when he flies over Washington, D.C., of course reducing his body weight wouldn’t be why he’d willingly surrender big volumes of his possum et tu fe.  It would no doubt happen as a result of overhearing some presidential speech or a congressional debate in which the cognitive mediocrity of those speaking and debating is perpetually and unashamedly on display.

Back to that oath they took.  No one held a gun to their head and made them swear it.  They did it of their own free will. Some might believe they swore it, not because they believed in it, but because it was simply a step required for them to occupy a seat of power.  A seat they unabashedly and appallingly grovel before wealthy donors to inherit. Nonetheless, since they voluntarily swore the oath, it follows that they should be expected to perform that which was promised.  But then, following their sworn constitutional obligations often gets them cross-threaded with the desires of those same donors, so guess which path they invariably take? Sometimes you have to wonder if they even had an inkling of the responsibly that oath would require of them as they uttered it.  You certainly can’t tell by their actions in office.

I’m a U. S. Navy veteran.  Served in the pre-com and early operations of the USS Nimitz back in the seventies.  I took a similar oath to the one all of our public “servants” took.  Foreign and domestic.  Is anyone still trying to figure out why they put that word in the oath?  Neither am I.  The fact is, oath notwithstanding, many, if not most, of our leaders – to put it mildly – do not seem to have the best interests of America at heart.  What I believe makes that oath still applicable to me and other vets is the fact that we didn’t sign anything upon our release from duty that absolved or in any way relieved us of our obligation under that oath.  As far as I’m concerned, it’s still in effect for us.  Domestic – for sure!

That old eagle is bound to have figured this business out too.  I wonder if he could resign his post, because unlike politicians, such as some unnamed deputy Secretary of State, it’s through no fault of his own that his job – that of national emblem – might soon be up for grabs, and I don’t blame him.

Although the outlook for our country is dismal, there just might be a way to show our loyalty to our nation and regain the trust of that wonderful animal we have selected to represent it.  There is a movement that is gaining much traction in this country, in fact it is named Our Country Our Choice.  I’m a member, and I believe through this organization, we have an opportunity to get our legs back under us, but it’s going to take some serious dedication and work.  Our leaders have dug us into a deep hole from which we have to dig ourselves out.  We weren’t paying attention and now we’re seeing the results.  It’s way past time to start paying attention.  Get involved – there’s plenty of room on board this train.  More and more God-fearing patriots are joining daily.

The leader of this movement is one Colonel Douglass Macgregor.  He’s a retired Army officer with extensive military and political experience.  He’s a smart leader (Wow! What a novel idea!) and I think he’s just the guy who can lead us to a better future.  I implore every American, and especially my fellow veterans, to look into this – it may well be the last hope we have, and it looks quite promising – especially with a man of the caliber of Colonel Macgregor at the helm.

Catch some of his interviews – he’s often on YouTube at Judging Freedom with Judge Andrew Napolitano and many others. Check out the website – Our Country Our Choice.

Who knows? That old eagle might just get a chance to soar proudly over a nation of free people again.

God bless,

Mike K

And here we sit. Or lie, it really doesn’t matter.  Deep down we all know something is terribly wrong, but we’ve become so accustomed to sitting around waiting for things to get better that we find ourselves expecting something that we know isn’t going to happen.  We just wait around for someone else to step up to the plate, then maybe we can try to help.  Problem is, we have somewhere in the neighborhood of a couple of hundred million American men sitting around waiting for some hero to emerge, and indeed if we look closely, that hero is trying to emerge – from within the heart of each of us. Listen to it!

Back in time somewhere, somehow, our genetic profile got infused with some admirable traits.  Men in early America were men – brave men of integrity and honor.  Since those days our desirable aspects have progressively become diluted – seriously depleted indeed – but the kernel of love for freedom is still inside us.  Our problem is how to overcome the blasphemous propaganda deluge in which we are submersed.  We have to wrest our attention from our pathetic worldly pursuits foisted upon us by the media to the urgency of serious threats to our nation’s very existence.  Is our desire for a new pickup truck and boat more important than our expectation for there to be a free country for our kids to inherit?  Is the super bowl and its vile commercial accoutrements worth more of our time than a Sunday morning with our family in service to the God who blessed us with our prosperous (though too often decadent) and certainly undeserved lifestyles?

In case you’ve been asleep for a long while, our government has become occupied by what are increasingly being revealed as hostile forces.  These same forces are the ones responsible for the destruction of our cities and our uncontrolled border – it’s all part of their plan to destroy our God-fearing nation.  Connect the dots and you’ll find other nefarious plots and acts such as health and pharmaceutical efforts which have questionable value. 

Our congress has been taken over almost completely by these same people who instruct the members to pass legislation which no longer in any way represents the interests of the country they were elected to represent.  It’s hard to find any legislation processed within the last few years that reflects the interests of the AMERICAN PEOPLE.  I remember some time ago, when the government was at an impasse over the budget and no business at all could be attended by the congress, yet they still managed to eke out some kind of resolution opposing disparaging a foreign country.  Couldn’t do squat for America though. Wealthy corporate PAC donors for sure, but never for Joe the Plumber.  Other nations – well, the ones with money absolutely, but no longer any legislation to help working American people.

We are watching the inevitable disintegration of what was probably the greatest of nations.  The whole world once looked to the US as the preeminent leader of the world.  We were respected as being an honorable nation populated with honorable people.  What happened?  In my humble opinion, some time ago, perhaps around 1913, our leaders revealed themselves to be susceptible to bribery.  Over the years, this shortcoming has only grown worse – like some grotesque malignancy – and has proven to be the primary reason for the downfall of American society.  Our congress and executive are captive to malevolent forces that are beyond our ability to control – individually.  I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m very tired of the video soap opera of one-upmanship that passes for congressional activity nowadays.  Wow!  Just look at how Kennedy gave that Mayorkas the what for!  Or how Rand Paul butchered Fauci.  To what end?  Seriously people!  The people’s legislature is reduced to congressional reality TV and congresspeople relish the roles.

Everyone knows there is strength in numbers.  Alone we cannot hope to arrest America’s plunge into the abyss, but with sufficient numbers, especially with American veterans and patriots on board, we can face, and defeat this scourge.  We have to recognize and admit to ourselves that it exists though, and then muster up the courage to fight it.  We must recognize that the sinister forces who have brought us here intend to destroy our nation, our children’s future, and then we must resolve to defeat it.  Whatever it takes.

Always remember that, regardless of media and government propaganda narratives, there is a distinction between loyalty to the government and patriotism to the country. In fact, that distinction is the very reason the constitution was written and endorsed! Our founders realized that a government could become corrupted and so they set up a legal means to overcome such corruption and tyranny.

How can we begin to fight this battle?  There are some choices before us, some will require us to put aside differences, especially as pertains to race – white and black and brown America must stop allowing evil forces to divide us.  Pay attention – when the mass media start hammering the airwaves with news stories that divide the races, we can be assured that there is a serious need for distraction from whatever nefarious behavior is afoot.  I remember the Vietnam days and how each time the war protests started to become uncontrollable, the news stories became about race issues, and sure enough, gullible Americans were suffering the Watts riots and countless news stories impugning black men which our carefully nurtured racist communities were quick to devour.  Sure enough, our collective attention was miraculously turned to the race bait instead of the war. We have to stop letting them do this – we need to be willing to disregard such obvious division and stay focused together!

Personally, I’m a 70-year-old white hillbilly from a southern white background, and if I followed my forebears, I’d probably be a member of the John Birch group, but fortunately many years ago, with the help of the Almighty, I became able to see through the propaganda – it wasn’t easy and I made lots of enemies along the way.  But after everything is said and done, Martin Luther King is among the greatest of my heroes.  I learned much from figures like Malcolm X and Ghandi.  I think I learned most, especially about honor and bravery, from our founding fathers.  I learned long ago that these guys were willing to put it all on the line for what they believed.  We need guys like that today!  We can have discussions about their views on slavery and other issues in another forum, but right now I implore all Americans of every color to come together to act and do what each of us can do to save our country.  Trust me, the people in control do not want that.  We must come to the realization that there is room here for every one of every color.  Brotherly love must prevail against the forces that teach and espouse hatred.  Remember, we all have issues we’d like to see addressed, such as racism, militarism, etc., but we’ll never be able to properly resolve these issues until the people of this nation regain control of our government.

There is a movement we should support – it’s growing by leaps and bounds – called Our Country Our Choice.  If you agree that this country is headed in the wrong direction, you should look into it, as this promises to offer a solution to many of our ills.  The organization is headed by one Douglas MacGregor, a retired Army Colonel who served as advisor in the Trump administration.  Our Country Our Choice (OCOC), as far as I know, does not endorse, or at least hasn’t yet, any political figure(s), and specifically refuses donations from politically motivated groups or lobbies.  It looks like a viable path to regain our nation’s sovereignty and I strongly urge American men, women, and especially veterans to get up off your ass and get involved – this thing is not going to work without all of our help.  OCOC urges all demographics to get on board with this movement – it is solely for the benefit of the American people – not lobby groups or politicians. 

Colonel MacGregor has an extensive military background.  He is adept in governing and is smart enough to get the right people into the positions where they can be most effective.  The organization has already recognized the futility of trying to improve our lot without the help of Providence, and has a chaplain, Pastor Casey, in the leadership of OCOC.  Bingo!  If God is with us, who can stand against us?  I exhort all who see this missive to look into OCOC and join and support the organization, financially and spiritually. 

No one is attempting to imply that OCOC will be able to solve all of our problems.  Some of the issues that await attention are profound and will require time and effort to properly address.  What is certain is that we have issues on the table that cannot be resolved within the current structures of our government – in fact they actually seem to be in place to prevent just and fair resolution.  OCOC may not be the exact instrument that will get the US back onto the rails, but it’s a start.  If people are informed and still refuse to act, then maybe they deserve whatever form of slavery the powers that be levy upon them.  But their children don’t.

We have a mandate from the Supreme Law of the Land.   When in the course of human events… 

Pass on this info about OCOC to every God-fearing patriot you know. Make sure all the ex-military folks you know hear about it. The compromised people in DC do not represent this old vet!

His name is Aaron Bushnell.  If you haven’t heard of him by now, just google his name and you’ll find his story. It’s about the tragic act of one of the bravest, most sincere human beings of our time.  The mainstream media isn’t saying much about him because they have their orders.  I’m sure that will change as soon as TPTB give them whatever narrative they come up with. The U.S. government isn’t saying much, because they too, have their orders.  No matter though, his story is out there, and nothing TPTB can do will shut it down.

The world has a focus now.  The whole world.  Arabs, Russians, Chinese, the ROW, and even Americans.  We should have already had a focus, but to our eternal shame, we have studiously avoided looking at the massacre taking place in Gaza.  At least most Americans have.  Now Aaron Bushnell has now shoved it right into the faces of even the most determinedly ignorant. The U.S. military and the government are heavily involved in supplying weapons to the monstrous “most moral army in the world” to kill tens of thousands of innocents, women and children, doctors, medical workers, journalists.  These innocents are also being denied food and water.  Some infants have starved to death already, and they are trying to starve them all. A U.S. Air Force member finally stood up tall and said “ENOUGH”!  He has brought about one of those “Have you no shame?” moments into our history, and God willing, it will play out.  

You can bet the bad guys are busy concocting stories right now.  They’re combing his hometown newspaper, his high school yearbook, and any other source(s) of information with which they can find anything with which they can smear his reputation.  Maybe at some time in his life he saw a counsellor, or had a therapist, so he can be sold as some kind of psycho.  Maybe he had some kind of run in with the authorities so he can be pedaled as a criminal miscreant.  Anything to distract the public from the genocide of the Palestinians to which he brought the attention of the world.  And the absolutely unbelievable way he did it.

This will be reminiscent of Colin Kaepernick and the thrashing he took for trying to get people’s attention to the extraordinary police brutality on black people.  He knelt during the national anthem prior to football games.  The media went into overdrive to discredit him.  By the time they were through, Colin lost his football career.  The mainstream narrative completely avoided what he was trying to get across and changed it all to how he disrespected the American Flag, and the citizenry bought it, hook line and sinker.  That was the real travesty.  The man was publicly denied his first Amendment right to free speech and “patriotic” Americans supported it.  Aaron Bushnell’s narrative won’t be so easily twisted.

The story of Aaron Bushnell has already gone around the world several times, and it has only been a few days.  Try as they might to suppress his act, the Zionist-controlled media doesn’t stand a snowman’s chance of getting a lid on it.  They don’t want the world to understand too much about the Zionist genocide in Gaza, the travesty for which Aaron gave his life to inform the world.  Even the dumbed-down Americans. It’s working. He immolated himself at the Israeli Embassy in protest of the Gaza genocide. Our focus now is to keep the fire burning that he so selflessly lit.

This media is the same one that told us of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, that everyone must, at the risk of their livelihoods, take a vaccine that has been proven to be not a vaccine at all and that kills people.  This media promulgated a story of some terrorists who couldn’t fly a Piper cub navigating sophisticated passenger planes across country and into buildings.  This media told us of Assad’s chemical attack on Dhouma, – proven to be a lie by the very organization tasked with investigating it. These are the people who have told us for two years that the Russians are losing the war in The Ukraine and that President Putin is terminally ill, gay, falls down stairs and craps himself, etc. 

We must not allow the Zionist liars to change the Bushnell narrative away from Gaza, for that will now be the assignment of every tentacle of the mainstream media.  This old hillbilly’s suggestion is to turn the TV off and quit watching any of the network news programs.  They are conniving and duplicitous and they know how to deceive you in so many ways, if you’re not completely onto them, they’ll have you believing your children need sex changes in the name of global warming.  If you have a grandfather who watches the Zionist tripe that passes for news, tell him how he’s being misled.  Show him how to find alternative news sites. 

For believers in Jesus who read this, you should be able to see and understand the degree of evil to which the murderers in Palestine have devolved.  Yes, there are “churches” here in the USA who fully support this nation and the depredations of the IOF.  These are the self-righteous vipers who have convinced themselves of their virtuosity, but Jesus will tell them that He never knew them.  Depart from Me. I never knew you.  The alternative to being with Jesus is being in the eternal fires of hell.  The fire that took the life of Aaron Bushnell only lasted a few moments, but the fires of hell will be for all eternity folks, so you might want to take a second look at who you are supporting.

It’s up to each and every one of us to do our utmost to reclaim our nation.  The same can be said for all other nations who are currently under the control of these vile monsters.  We can start by sharing what we know with those who don’t know what’s going on.  It’s the least we can do for the memory of Aaron Bushnell.  He gave his life to support innocent people; gave his life!  Not a lot of people throughout history have given their lives for others.  I can think of One, though.  Aaron Bushnell died a horrible death to try and drive home the fact that the most insidious act of murder in all of history is happening – are you listening to what he said?

As a frigid dawn breaks across the winter sky, what’s left of my family huddles together in this wretchedly cold farmhouse trying to keep warm against another invasion of the incessant north wind. We knew for years there’d be a war, but few of us could have imagined the severity of it, especially for the few who survived the “war”, and especially this far out from a major city. This old house almost burned down, but we were able to save enough of it so that we can survive. If you want to call this survival.

For years it seems that people had been hearing of all the rich and connected folks who got busy building bunkers and stocking them with supplies intended to tide them over when the inevitable happened. They expected to go into their holes and sit tight watching movies and playing video games until such time as it would become safe to slither out and supposedly resume their entitled lives in which whatever few survivors would be waiting with adulation and fanfare to greet them. Yes, they were that deluded. Now that those few begin to see signs of their emergence, great fanfare isn’t exactly what the sick and hungry survivors have in mind.

Some of the larger refuges were intended to house government officials and their families, so they were excavated to facilitate relatively large numbers of people. Huge underground shelters made with reinforced concrete were designed to house any and all who might be required to provide for a preposterously planned continuity of government in a post-apocalyptic scenario. I personally believe they were all building their tombs.

When the bunkers were being built, multitudes of “commoners” were involved – truckers, construction hands, plumbers, electricians, welders, etc., who were never intended to be – nor did they become, part of the inhabitants of said shelters, just the labor used to build them. Were all of these people expected to forget where the bunkers were located? Where the entrances, water supplies, and air vents were, and how to excavate the holes they already dug once? Just what were those entitled individuals thinking?

As we try and patch up the holes in our crumbling walls and the ever-present hunger pangs gnaw at our very souls, we reflect on that somber autumn morning when the world turned upside-down. As I was outside tending the livestock, there were ominous rumblings, almost like the thunderous sonic booms some of us remember from back when technology reached the threshold where airplanes could fly faster than the speed of sound. I’m not sure they realized there would be window-shattering sonic booms until those fast jet planes started flying faster than sound. Anyways, when the big bombs started going off, that’s the first thing that came to mind, but only briefly. It didn’t take a lot of dot-connecting to realize what was afoot.

We always thought of times when the power would go out, but when it finally happened, the actuality of it hit home. Wow! Not only did it go out, but deep down we knew it would never come back on. When our enemies overseas finally got enough of the threats and pillaging by the western world and lit off the orbiting satellites containing EMP producing devices, we stepped through the door of destruction, our world caught on fire, power lines, automobiles, and just about everything with an electrical coil simply burst into flames. Huge conflagrations started everywhere there were wire fences, electrical power lines, transformers, substations, or anything made of wire kindled the near-complete destruction of developed nations. We ran inside and after frantically putting out the fires, we could only wait and wonder if we were about to be vaporized. Considering what our lives have devolved to, it would have been more merciful if we had. The cold nights are almost too much to bear.

The worst part of all this is the fact that no one knows the extent of the destruction. Did Washington DC get annihilated? How many of our big cities got wiped out? Communications are completely obliterated. There were a few folks around who everyone considered to be nuts that were known as preppers. Some of them kept CB radios, but most of them got fried in the EMP. A precious few survived, but it’s next to impossible to get to them to find out what they might know. Most information that does get through is of little help anyway. From the looks of our situation, it seems that our nation as we knew it is gone for good. I guess we “lost” the war, but our enemies devastated and contaminated the landscape to the extent that they won’t be sending a “conquering army” over here anytime soon. Nevertheless, the “preppers” have since become folk heroes everywhere there are survivors looking for a bowl of beans.

Radiation is everywhere and will be for a long time, it’s the primary concern for everyone who might have survived and is still breathing. Most of the living are – or have been – terribly sick from radiation poisoning, but a few seem to be immune to it. Maybe they’re the ones who pray – that’s the only explanation I can think of. I ran into one of these types who was among the very most prepared of the preppers. Before everything went south, he bought an old diesel pickup truck and completely gutted the electrical system. No battery, no starter. He parks it on a hill so he can start it by getting it rolling and popping the clutch. It works, but fuel is scarce, so he only uses it for essential things like hauling wood.

We only have a few chickens left, the goat got sick and died, and out of nine dogs on the farm, we have a couple left, but they’re sick a lot. We eat, and are thankful for, a lot of squirrels and rabbits. We’re fortunate enough to have a spring on the property, and what few neighbors we have left come over braving the outdoor air to fill bottles and jugs from it. So far, I guess the water’s ok, at least no one is getting sick from it so far. We were only marginal preppers, but we did have the foresight to stock up on a bit of extra food, but I really think we’re just postponing the inevitable. But then, who knows? We like to imagine that by some miracle we can be evacuated to a safe place, but in reality, we don’t even know if there are any safe places anywhere. Sort of like not so long ago when the people of Gaza undoubtedly imagined that some great nation would come to their rescue during their holocaust, but much to the shame of the world, that didn’t happen either.

For years, some scientists maintained that a nuclear exchange would precipitate what they called a nuclear winter. Even though as a result of the pandemic and green revolution and a lot of other nonsense, most of what passed for science came to be revealed as a bunch of malarkey, I guess they got the nuclear winter part right, because we are well into what should have been spring, but it’s desperately cold! I really miss having a weather forecast to look at, but there are none anymore, and there probably won’t be, especially the weather discussions that depended on satellites – they’ve obviously all been destroyed. We have to go back to the old way such as “red sky in morning…”

There’s no internet anymore, no microwave ovens, no running water. I saved every blanket and quilt I could get my hands on for years, and they are certainly coming in handy now. There’s no music, no television, no football games. No one knows how Kim Kardashian is doing, nor do they care. Much of our former life has been revealed for the useless nonsense it was. It’s hard to remember how we cared for things that really matter, or if we did at all. It was all about new cars, boats, flights to vacation spots, and a thousand other things that don’t mean squat now. We actually sat in front of CNN on the TV and believed all the lies they spoon fed everybody as if there would be no tomorrow with which to reckon.

There’s a tiny rivulet running from where our spring comes out of the ground. I watch it a lot these days, because if it dries up, we’re going to be in serious trouble. As I sit out here breathing what could be contaminated air (I’ve been so sick I really don’t even care anymore), watching that tiny trickle of life-giving water, I search my heart and continually ask myself, “What could I have done to help prevent this?” Hundreds of millions of human beings have been destroyed, killed, vaporized – with their bones strewn across the land. Huge cities, once thriving metropolises, now are no more than huge smoldering craters, with innumerable ghosts looking on, each and every one asking themselves, “What could I have done…?”

There’s a lot of discussion going on nowadays about things that are happening in the Middle East and I supposed that’s fitting since that’s where things are prophesied to wind up at the end of this age.  Seems as though everyone has some interpretation or the other about what we should believe or how we need to behave to be on the right side of things going into the last days and I guess I’m no exception.

I am a Christian, not a Judeo-Christian, not a Christian Zionist, not a Christo fascist, I don’t even know what an Evangelical Christian is, but I don’t like the sound of it, I’m just a Christian who believes in Jesus Christ and what He came to tell us.  His message on how we need to believe and behave is way too simple for most, so there’s this tendency for some to pull out the Old Testament and see how much of it can be interspersed into the new covenant, but that always turns out to be an irresponsible distortion of the message of Jesus and makes it much more complicated than it is intended to be.  He said He meant for His teachings to be simple, so simple people like me could understand them.  He also warned us about something He called the leavening of the Pharisees that also tends to over complicate His message.  He said a little leavening leavens the whole loaf, but I’ll leave that concept for now.

In case the reader is wondering, I’m not a preacher, just a person who reads his Bible and seeks God’s help in understanding it.  As with all things in the spiritual evolution of a human being, we all have a lot more to learn. There are things that aren’t that hard to understand though, and it appears a lot of well-intentioned people are missing them, and that’s the reason for this post – people, a lot of people, are misunderstanding, or misinterpreting God’s word.  Whether the faithful are doing this on purpose or not, it’s not possible for a human to know.  God certainly doesn’t give us that kind of insight into the hearts of others, but by reading the Bible and comparing what’s in there to what is being disseminated by the leaders of some churches, it becomes fairly easy to see that there a lot of are false teachers out there.

One of the primary and most glaring inconsistencies you can look for as it applies to a Christian ministry is the financial status of the minister.  This is the very easiest way to tell the false prophet.  For example, Jesus Christ conferred absolute leadership of His ministry on the disciple Peter.  He said He would build His Church upon this rock (Peter) and the gates of hell would not prevail against it.  There is an obvious difference in Saint Peter’s wealth and that of the charlatans who would have you believe they are appointed leaders of the flock today.  The ones who run the mega churches are all filthy rich. That should be the very first and most obvious clue as to whether they follow the actual teachings of Jesus.  Jesus adamantly warned us that for all practical purposes, rich guys aren’t going to heaven.  Are you comfortable sitting in the pews listening to a wealthy preacher who takes in millions after Jesus Himself tells you this guy isn’t fit for His Kingdom.

A perfect example is when Peter and John encountered a crippled beggar asking for alms.  The disciples – true disciples of Christ – told the beggar that they couldn’t give him any money because they didn’t have any.  They were able, however, to heal him where he could walk.  Remember this is Peter, to whom was assigned by Jesus Himself, complete authority over the church.  He was given the keys to the Kingdom and told that he had the authority to lock and unlock the very gates of eternity.  But he had no money.  None of Jesus Christ’s followers were wealthy – not one.  Jesus Himself had to send a disciple to catch a fish with a coin in its mouth so He could pay His tax.  Jesus, Who in time would inherit all things on heaven and earth, had no money!  Judas Hagee has millions of dollars, but he nevertheless arrogates to himself the status of a minister of Jesus Christ’s church.  Maybe he thinks he is more deserving of a wealthy and decadent earthly lifestyle than Saint Peter deserved, it’s hard to tell.  There are others, but Hagee’s ministry is particularly heinous for several reasons, not the least of which are his incredibly false teachings.

Jesus also said the way is wide that leads to destruction and a lot of people would go through it, and the way of salvation is narrow, and few would find it.  So, imagine the thousands of people watching the sermons on TV as well as the hundreds or thousands of “faithful” in their luxurious cathedrals, and compare that to the mental image of peasant worshippers in a mud hut back in the first century, trying to keep their practice hidden from the authorities who would have certainly persecuted them for their faith.  They were willing to risk their very lives for their belief in our Savior Jesus Christ, and many of them indeed were martyred.  The parishioners of the Cornerstone Church in San Antonio aren’t risking very much, are they?  Such blasphemous covens are completely safe from any government interference, because he who leads this world (to destruction) is in charge of governments of the world and he obviously doesn’t see these groups as a threat to him.  I wonder why?

The same government – controlled by Satan, and as proof of its control by Satan, is supplying bombs to murder thousands of innocent people overseas. They indiscriminately bomb hospitals filled with sick and injured people and Christian Churches. This same Satan also has governmental authority over the mega churches in this country but does not bother them.  Does that make sense – it’s the same devil?  As long as those churches are preaching a message that is no threat to him, why should Satan bother them?  They are right where he wants them to be, hearing the messages he wants them to hear. The gate is wide indeed!  The millionaire Hagee preaches that the members of his twisted version of “christianity” should support said murderers.  He sends tons of money to a nation whose religious leaders teach that Jesus Christ is in hell burning in human excrement and teaches his parishioners that in order to please God, the Father, they should automatically and without compunction, support this nation.  Jesus Himself told us all very clearly that regardless of what they claim, these people are not even Jews – they are blasphemers who are a Synagogue of Satan.  Satan controls every aspect of the United States government, especially the blasphemous whores who populate the congress – now do you see why the equally blasphemous mega churches are able to operate with impunity in a country that tortures prisoners of war and imprisons journalists for telling the truth?

One of the seminal concepts that these charlatans preach is the part where God promised Abraham, of some impending blessings to his descendants.  There were reasons for this which I will avoid because they do not apply to this post.  Back in Abraham’s time, he and his descendants were indeed God’s chosen people, because of faithful men like Abraham. The promise was that if people and nations blessed Abraham’s descendants, God would bless them.  Conversely if people cursed Abraham’s descendants, they would be cursed, but here’s where the false preachers get it all wrong.  Although that promise is still in effect today, descendants of Abraham are a different people from those who claim to be, thus the false prophets are trying to confer the promise onto the wrong people. He said nations that did not know Him would call Him their God and He would call them His people.

If one reads the scriptures, especially the New Testament under which we are living, he finds a place and time when John the Baptist, a man who has some pretty incredible spiritual credentials (and he was also quite poor), warned the Pharisees that they shouldn’t think too highly of themselves just because they were descendants of Abraham because God could raise up sons to Abraham from the rocks they walked among.  Let that one sink in, you followers of false teachers, because that’s exactly what God has done! He has raised up sons to Abraham from places where they would not have been expected.  Abraham has adopted sons, millions of them as promised, who are his offspring by having accepted Jesus Christ.  We are Abraham’s spiritual offspring – therefore, receivers of the promise to Abraham, not some nation of evil murderers who passionately hate Jesus.  Christians have assumed the mantle of God’s chosen people, and only Christians.

How can anyone possibly listen to rich villains who denigrate Christianity teaching blasphemy? By rejecting Jesus Christ, the people who live in the occupied territory– even if they are genetic sons of Jacob (which they are not) – give up their share of the promise to Abraham, regardless of what Judas Hagee preaches.  He is a liar and a blasphemer – good people need to get out of his church while they still can inherit their share of the promise.  Same for those who follow Osteen, Copeland, and all the other rich jet-set false prophets.

The Zionists in Israel and the United States hate Jesus Christ.  Therefore, the latter part of God’s pledge to Abraham falls on them – the curse part – and it falls on anyone who curses the followers of Christ.  Not the first part, the blessing part is reserved for all – Jew and Gentile – who believe in and follow Jesus Christ.  These would be the people who find their way through the narrow gate – those who are willing to risk it all for Jesus, not the ones who sit fat and happy, amening the lies of false prophets in cushy churches where there is no threat to them whatsoever – for whatever twisted beliefs they espouse.  They leave the church and climb into their luxury cars to go home to their mansions, smug in the belief that those bucks they put into the offering, bound for rich people who despise Jesus (also for the good reverend Hagee’s fat bank account) – will buy them into heaven.

When a person compares the teachings of Jesus Christ to what is disseminated in the mega churches, it would almost appear that true Christianity more closely resembles what Islam believes than it is to what the liars in the big churches put out.  In fact, I admire the Muslims for their dedication.  They pray more times in one day than a lot of so-called Christians do in a month, in many cases, longer.  They also believe in Jesus, but they think He was a prophet – He was a prophet – an honorable title but far short of all He actually was.  I believe and pray that our Islamic brothers take the leap of faith that brings them to the realization that Jesus was the Son of God. 

One misunderstanding is that Islam believes that God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are considered in Christianity to be separate Beings instead of three different manifestations of the same Being. It’s a difficult concept to grasp and none of us can wrap our heads around it, but most of us agree there is only One God.  If all who believe in God, or Allah, could accept that Jesus is the Son of God, that would put a lot of people in the world on the same page.  God is everywhere, so He can be in the form of Jesus, in an Imam, in a priest, or in you or me or in a burning bush, or in the air, but He is still the same God.  I think I’ve read somewhere that Muslims believe Jesus is coming back some day to render justice, and all Christians believe that too, but I’m not sure Muslims believe He is coming back as the Almighty King of Kings to rule the world.  

True followers of Jesus should make every effort at every opportunity to read their own Bibles and follow His teachings.  And turn away from rich preachers – every one of them is corrupt and rotten to the core.  You can take the Words of Jesus Christ on that. He really didn’t have much good to say about the wealthy of this world.
