Back when I used to find such things as movies to be entertaining, I saw a Tom Sellick movie about a sniper who ended up in Australia who had been hired for his shooting skills but he didn’t realize he was being hired to shoot the pesky black Aborigines for a character who was a big cattle rancher – the title was Quigley Down Under. As mentioned, Quigley did not realize he had been hired to murder innocent people until he arrived and as the good guy in the movie, of course he refused to kill them and ended up at odds with the whole ranch of bad guys. The antagonist rancher role was played by one of my favorite actors, the memorable British Alan Rickman (RIP) and he did an exceptional job of portraying the bad guy in this movie. At this point in this essay, I think it would be appropriate to mention that much of the racism which this post is really about actually is quite fundamentally portrayed in this particular movie and I didn’t even realize it until I started this paragraph, so the movie might just be recalled as demonstrating such abhorrent behavior in other ideations herein. In fact, I don’t think there is a better example to use.

The movie part that I chose to point out was the line where the rancher, Marston (played by Rickman) said he’d been born in the wrong century, and after reading a particularly racist article on the internet – with many equally racist comments – that thought came to my mind – that I’d been born in the wrong time frame to be able to comprehend the dark hatred some folks harbor towards their fellow human beings of different skin tones. Maybe it has always been there and at some level I suspect it has, it’s just that by not sharing those sentiments of racial indignation by the commenters I had read, I was reaching for some reason why I couldn’t relate to such prejudice. I should have recognized it right away though, having come from a small mostly white town down in Texas, but it’s been a while… After giving it some thought however, it’s clear that racial prejudice has always been part of the human dynamic. It shouldn’t be, but there it is.

There are arguments afoot these days, and probably have been for longer than I realize, that Jesus Christ was a black man, or an Arab, or of whatever race happens to be someone’s particular need for Him to be. To those who make such speculations, it is apparent from His teachings that, if the color of Jesus Christ’s skin is important to your opinion of Him and His ministry, then you don’t know who He is at all. It should not make one whit of difference to us of what race or ethnic group Jesus belonged – He is the Savior of all humanity – the Son of God in whatever iteration of the human flesh God chose for Him to be clothed in.

Hatred is a particularly difficult emotion for us to comprehend and to deal with. There are instances of behavior that evoke such passionate emotions that we must take extreme care not to allow to become hatred in our hearts. These are real and present battles for even the most faithful believers – to keep our emotions in check for the enemy is ever aware of our thoughts as revealed by our behavior and he seeks every opportunity to trip us up and hatred of the “other” – it is his default trap. On the other hand, there is an innate racial rejection that can be present without our even being aware of it until we find ourselves agreeing with people like the commenters mentioned above. That kind of hatred can sneak into our hearts if we ignore the sources of it. If we don’t put up a fight, we might find ourselves pulling for the sniper who opts to shoot those pesky Aborigines – or Palestinians. Or black folks on a march for equal rights. I’m not necessarily writing here only about racial bias or hatred, but that hatred that sneaks in to our hearts when we become incensed at the racism of other people – it’s a clever trap of the enemy, he wins when people hate each other whether it be racism or abhorrence of those who are racist without being so oneself. It’s hatred either way, and although Heaven will undoubtedly be an expansive place, there won’t be any room in God’s Kingdom for a heart that has hatred inside.

For those of us who claim to be believers but also hold that our race is the one that God chooses over all the others, to those I say Jesus Christ died for every one of every race of human beings. The Bible says that God is not a respecter of persons, meaning He doesn’t prefer one human being over another due to any human status such as wealth or race. Furthermore, the biggest reason our country is plagued with Donald Trump right now is that part of his con was to appeal to the racial hatred of certain genres of neanderthal voters. These people are now paying the fiddler for allowing their racist attitudes to determine their vote and now they can’t afford groceries or to take their kids to the doctor. The Almighty always requires us to pay for our departure from His ways so people can’t get away with allowing their racism to guide their selection of leaders without answering for it somewhere down the road.

There is indeed a division in our country that matters, but it isn’t the one between blacks and whites or Hispanics or differing religions. We’ve never faced a time, at least in my life, in which all of us common folks needed each other more than we do now. The division, hence, the war, we should be fighting is between the rich and the poor, but the wealthy elites have the controls and are able to produce whatever propaganda it takes to keep us peons at each other’s throats. Just take note of all the “news” stories of late about white cops mistreating black people or black guys beating up old white people – it comes around like clockwork every time us proles start looking at the real source of our problems – be it Vietnam, or in this case, the elites. Can’t have a bunch of folks that can’t pay their electric bills threatening the Zuckerbergs and Thiels and Adelsons of the world, got to keep them to fighting amongst themselves and appealing to their racial hatred always works, so go for it! There’s nothing that could strike fear into the hearts of the wealthy and the politicians they own like a street filled with thousands of black, white, Mexican, Asian, Arabic, Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Anglo European people that can no longer be turned against each other or otherwise deterred from an honorable goal of reforming our political and economic system toward fairness for all.

They (politicians and the wealthy who own them) are so afraid of any eventuality that might bring the common citizens of all races and religions together for common purpose that they have flock cameras and data centers all for the purpose of surveilling the citizenry so as to keep an eye on us and prevent our agglomeration into a fearless and determined army of multiracial, multireligious citizens demanding a new order. Old white men like me arm in arm with young black and/or Hispanic men and women, veterans who’ve had enough of creatures like Pete Hegseth, Trump and Rubio – marching on Washington with real change in mind. Demanding real change. I do not advocate violence but it might be hard to get some of the folks to refrain from it, especially some of those who’ve had relatives and loved ones kidnapped and tortured by “federal agents” of ICE and shipped off to some African country or other place where they don’t belong. Again, lest we forget or become persuaded to lose focus on the real enemies of humankind – it’s the rich men who’ve all sold their souls to Satan and therefore murder innocent (always innocent until proven guilty) Venezuelan men on boats and innocent little girls in schools. Whether they’re bombing hospitals in Gaza or making people take “vaccines” that end up killing them – it’s the rich men who profit from making clot shots and bombs and missiles with which they can slaughter innocent people, which is all done in pursuit of their service to Satan.

We were given our example of how we need to behave and how we need to believe from a man named Jesus Christ a couple of thousand years ago. Our (and God’s) greatest enemy, Satan, has had all of that time to come up with ways to deceive us, to persecute those of us who dare to believe there is a better way than what we are seeing in the world. Just as he did two thousand years ago with Jesus Christ, Satan has taken a select few men up on that mountain and promised them the world if only they agree to serve him, and unlike Jesus, a lot of them have taken him up on it. These are all the ones who have become the very wealthy, the same men who are building data centers, which I am convinced are nothing more than temples to demons requiring the sacrifice of our water and power – and who knows what may be required as sacrifices to them later on. The tech zillionaires actually expect the public to be willing to pay homage to their demons, they don’t give us any good reasons for the public benefit to build the demonic temples, they just expect the public to go along with them if for no other good reason than the fact that they are billionaires and they want data centers, therefore so should we. Same for those servants of Satan who frequent the Moloch rituals in the Bohemian Grove. Those guys are bound for hell – they’ve signed the deal and have all their wealth, they will die sooner or later (Googler Sheldon Adelson, Dick Cheney and Jacob Rothschild) it’s just a matter of time until they go down in the flames of hell fire – I promise you they will – and there’s no reason for good people to go with them because of envy of their wealth. Unfortunately, this same tactic is used on celebrities and sports heroes too and some of them even admit it, now most of those types don’t openly declare war on the poor, but selling one’s soul has the same results for the one doing it – you traded something precious for a few years of fame and wealth and now you belong to Satan and face eternal damnation. There’s serious consequences for backing out on the deal – Google Charlie Kirk.

We must stand with Jesus and with each other – there’s absolutely no hope any other way. Don’t allow the mockers of God to convince you to hate on your black brother – or your Latino brother. Conversely, even though there have been some major bumps in the road to how we got where we are, black fellows cannot win the battle without the majority of white folks – who are in the same boat – almost everyone who is not rich is in the same boat, no matter the color of the skin, and we MUST get past this stupid racism they use against us every time we threaten to join hands. Our enemies are not each other; they are the people who own the banks, the big corporations, insurance companies and with few exceptions, big rich law firms. Most of us don’t even want to know about the rich guys and their money – personally, I’d rather hear from the people out on the accursed reservations and the poor folks in the country, rural areas and to know they are doing okay or how we might be able to help them if they’re not. It’s simply shaping up to be a class war, but we can’t win it without each other. They pay good money to keep common people fighting each other – see ICE and recruiting bonuses. We cannot win it without Jesus Christ in our midst. If we could pull such a movement together, always keeping the underprivileged in mind and always keeping Jesus Christ out front as our real leader, we could be a formidable army indeed. In fact, that is exactly what is going to happen when Jesus leads His mighty army into the great battle The one thing we have to keep in mind is that such an organization can only win the war – if folks could just focus on Jesus and helping each other, I guarantee we could never be defeated by the minions of Satan, but for what it’s worth, we’ve ALL got to get past racism and hatred – as long as we insist on hanging on to sinful racist attitudes, we can never win this battle – guaranteed!

We’ve all become the Aborigines now and don’t forget it; don’t let anyone convince you otherwise. If you have any doubt, look at Gaza – and that’s just the beginning.

Someone was/is trying to prevent me from publishing this post. I just finished with that last line above when I took a break from writing and it’s a long story but I ended up with my 73-year-old self out in the woods on a motorcycle, against the better judgement of my daughter who had told me how hard that thing was to control on that road, and which I’ve never tried before. As soon as I got on the really rough section of the road with lots of limestone blocks the size of footballs, sure enough I lost it, and got flung off the thing and into a tree with my back. I hit just left of my spine or I have no doubt my back would be broken – I hit that thing with some terrific force! Literally, I’m beginning to believe the enemy has identified me – probably from my posts encouraging Godliness here. I think he sent something from somewhere else to snatch me off that bike and slam me into the tree – the bike had come to a complete stop and just laid over yet I practically flew backward, and I’ve never felt the like of pain I have going on. Even so, all I have to say is that if he wants me to stop speaking out for Jesus, he’s gonna have to shut me up for good, I’m not threatened by having to wobble around with a sore back for a few days, and I’m certainly not afraid to leave this abominable world to be with Jesus. Maybe it’s just my imagination and I’m giving myself too much credit for being a thorn in the enemy’s side, but I’m going to keep trying to be so as long as possible.

Me and my daughter prayed over it, and today I might talk myself into going to the clinic and get something for pain, but I’ve no doubt He heard our prayer and I’m getting better really fast. Anyways folks, welcome to what it’s like when you decide to follow Jesus – be prepared for anything – we have to be willing to give it our all. I’ve felt His presence like never before since this “accident” happened. If y’all feel the urge, I encourage your prayers, and not just for me, but for your own blessings as we face these end times.

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