Time to go to Church

I loved this post by Michael Devon at the American Thinker today entitled Some truths for conservatives to remember as things fall apart. First he diverts people who think of themselves as 'progressive" to a website on making salad. (sarcasm alert) This is very important so as not to cause progressives heads to explode (sarcasm off). Then he goes on to list just a few of the things that have and are happening:

The 2020 election was stolen.

Climate hysteria is an absolute hoax.

Deep State actors never get indicted, much less convicted.

America no longer has a southern border with Mexico.

...snip...

The MSM are nothing but a propaganda arm of our Marxist-Leninist Lizard Overlords.

The M-LLOs are planning to re-run the COVID playbook this fall, except they will change the excuse to climate hysteria.

With just this short list, anyone would be overwhelmed. After all, can you control any of the things coming at you? And the description of our Marxist-Leninist Overlords is so perfect. However, in truth we know that these are actually demon posessed people carrying out a Satanist agenda:

The M-LLOs' ultimate goal is to swiftly reduce the global population from eight billion to five hundred million souls. That's a 93.75% reduction of souls.

What to do? He advises prayer. Pray for our nation, our leaders, your and my neighbors. Pray and repent. As in ancient Ninevah, God may yet change his mind.

Keep your power dry

At Ammoland yesterday, Roger Katz had an in-depth piece on New Mexico governor Grisham unconstitutional order suspending the carrying of firearms in Bernalillo County and Albuquerque. The article can be found at Is Ne Mexico Governor Grisham Deliberately Inciting Open Rebellion? One thing Katz teases out is that indeed Grisham's campaign for governor was partially backed by George Soros money, and she is probably responding to a Soros initiative. By making the basis of her suspension a "public health emergency" she sought to set precedent. It it had succeeded, the "public health emergency" excuse could be used to suspend all our rights.

Soros-backed high-ranking State, County, and Municipal officials do not initiate unconscionable, unconstitutional actions out of the blue. And that is no less true of New Mexico’s present Governor, Michelle Lujan Grisham.

This pretentious, sanctimonious political leader of New Mexico is a Soros-backed toady.

As the New York Post reported on September 9, 2023,

“New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, whose campaign was backed by left-wing billionaire George Soros, riled up conservatives and gun owners after she issued an emergency order suspending the right to carry firearms in public in Albuquerque and the surrounding county for at least 30 days.”

...snip...

Governor Michelle Grisham in New Mexico, along with Governors Kathy Hochul in New York & Gavin Newsome in California, & several other Governors across the landscape of America, are “moles.” They are waiting to spring into action when called upon by their secretive “Case Officers,” aka Contributors, to do so, and with the U.S. Supreme Court rulings, they have begun to spring into action—some earlier, some later.

But they are all intent on assuaging the concerns of their Marxist benefactors and fully adhering to the Marxist agenda.

Governors invoke different strategies, as required, given the nuances of each State, but all are directed to the same outcome: destruction of the right of the people to keep and bear arms.

I encourage gentle readers to read all of Katz's article. The entire Bill of Rights is under attack. The Department of (in)Justice has attacked various parts of it with the January 6th protestors already imprisoned. For many, who only trespassed that day, can their "trials" be called anything but kangaroo show trails? But the Marxists understand that they can just go so far as long as the Second Amendment stands. They desperately want to get rid of or nullify the Second Amendment so they can ram the rest of their Satanic agenda down our throats.

As always, keep your powder dry.  It is coming to a state near you.

We Are Made For God

At The Federalist yesterday, Casey Chalk had a article that attracted my attention entitled A Church Without God Is Dead On Arrival. The article itself was sparked by a Washinton Post article by Perry Bacon, Jr. Reading the Bacon article, I couldn't help but think that what he is looking for used to ccome from peoples' participation in service clubs like the Lions Clubs or the Rotary Clubs. It used to be that anyone who could afford these organizations was a member. They did good works, but they were not churches. Churches have a different function.

People get confused and don't realize that the Church has one real purpose-that of worship. What does worship consist of? Confession of sins and absolution thereof, prayer to God, giving praise to and honor of God, preaching of the Gospel, the good news of God's grace, love, and forgiveness, and the Eucharist or Communion. Yes, the church does other things such as prayers for the sick and shut-ins, counseling members, sometimes disciplining wayward members all within the Biblical principles laid down thousands of years ago.

People sometimes get balled up in controversies that really aren't, or needn't be. Bacon is concerned that his former "church" wouldn't allow a gay man to be a leader. Does God hate gays? No. But God commands against sexual sins such as beastiality, homosexuality, fornication. One may be gay, but out of love and respect for God, not practice gay behavior. It is the practicing of homosexual behaviors that is the sin.  One who practices homosexuality can not be a church leader.

Abortion is another thing God is against. He created each and every one of us in His image. We are gifts from Him, each and every one of us. To kill the unborn is to throw that great gift away like it is trash. Would you be angry of someone threw away a precious gift you had given him right in front of you? That is how God feels.  We must of course have compassion for people who abort their children, but we mustn't condone it.

While churches have historically provided other services to society such as schools and hospitals, and certainly being a regular member of a congregation provides a sense of community, the main function of a church is to facilitate the worship of our God. God is the center of our worship and as Casey Chalk notes, without God, the "church" is dead on arrival.  Such a gathering of people is not worthy to be called a Church.  The Church is built on one foundation, Jesus Christ, our Lord.

A church without God, prayer, or the Bible; a church for fellowship not faith, service not sacraments: that’s supposedly what lonely Americans need. Yet can such a civically focused ecclesial institution, or set of institutions, replace our increasingly empty (or repurposed) churches? In fact, they already exist, and have proved just as incapable of replacing the role vacated by that “old time religion.”

...snip...

And it’s not as if the nones are champing at the bit to join secular civic organizations that, denuded of any deity, prayer, or Scripture, still offer camaraderie and community service. Between 2019 and 2021, formal volunteer participation in America fell 7 percent — the largest drop that the U.S. Census survey recorded since it began tracking it in 2002. Covid didn’t help any, but this is not a new trend: Volunteerism has been declining for decades.

No, Americans are not just abandoning God, but each other, escaping into their smartphones and streaming entertainment. “Americans spend an average of 13 hours and 11 minutes a day using digital media,” Forbes reported earlier this year. It’s not only unbelief with whom churches must compete, but Apple, Amazon, and Netflix. Loving your neighbor or the Lord your God doesn’t offer the same dopamine rush as Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, I’m sorry to say.

This is why a church for the nones is dead on arrival. The nones don’t want it, as even Bacon must admit. “But I’ve not followed through on any of these options,” he writes of trying to find a new “ecclesial” home. “With all my reservations, I don’t really want to join an existing church. And I don’t think I am going to have much luck getting my fellow nones to join something I start. My sense is that … those who aren’t at church are fine spending their Sunday mornings eating brunch, doing yoga or watching Netflix.” Americans are too disenchanted with an “intolerant” and “illogical” religion and too addicted to its chemical proxies to think an areligious alternative will satisfy the longings in their soul. Choosing church for its social utility, liberal pundit E.J. Dionne acknowledges in a recent WaPo column, is not a particularly strong draw.

So, in the end, it is really a failure of faith. Bacon doesn't believe. He, and other "nones" are looking for something in all the wrong places. If he starts with first believing, they praying, then admitting that he has done wrong, as we all have, can he then refind his faith. Perhaps it would help if Mr. Bacon would read the Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, and the Epistles by Paul the Apostle:

Only when Americans relearn that we are, above all else, made for God, will our personal health improve and our communities once more move with brilliant energy and excitement, unanticipated byproducts of passionately orienting our hearts and minds to the transcendent and its transformative demands. Until then, expect little from ham-handed attempts to fashion church (and spirituality) to our personal preferences and peccadilloes. As a young Augustine himself learned, all that resides in such vain efforts is vapid self-worship.

A Bad Idea Returns

 On Monday, I wrote about the depopulating of the earth that the WEF and others are planning.  Of course, it is to save the planet.  Some want to reduce the population from 9 billion today to 500 million world wide.  Gentle readers will see in this a disguised version of eugenics.  Eugenics, a discredited theory, was originally cast as a way to improve the human species through control of who got to reproduce, and who did not.  Naturally, certain prejudices came into play.  In America, blacks were often the cited as being "undesirable."  In Germany, Gypsies and Jews were slaughtered in the name of "improving" the race.  I can't speak to Germans, but here in America, Margaret Sanger's group, Planned Parenthood, still holds to the old prejudice.

Today, at the American Thinker, Andrea Widburg's post entitled Climate Eugenics describes how the old, discredited theory of eugenics is hiding in plain sight as "climate change." Instead of saving the human race, now you are saving the planet. But just as no matter whether the climate is warming or is cooling, the solution is getting rid of fossil fuels, for eugenisist, the only solution is killing. And getting rid of fossil fuels will kill a great number of us, because so called "renewables" will not be able to supply even current levels of electricity.

Suppose the world was in the grip of an Armageddon-type crisis with the finest scientific minds from around the world working at a feverish pitch in an international collaborative effort to find a solution. So much so that medical and scientific journals were dedicated to keeping pace with the latest developments. No, I’m not talking about climate change. I’m talking about eugenics, the early 20th-century belief that there were too many of the wrong people in the world. One hundred years on, though, eugenics has fused with climate change for the perfect anti-human storm.

The founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, a progressive, was one of the most strident supporters of this new theory. Financial support poured in from the Ford Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the Harriman fortune. (These funds all still support progressive causes.) In 1916, Sanger established the first “birth control” clinic.

Back in that era, it was commonly believed that “the best” human beings (white, Anglo-Saxon Protestants) were not having as many children as “inferior ones,” such the immigrants from Eastern Europe and Asia, blacks, degenerates, etc. Sanger spoke of the burden of carrying the “dead weight of human waste.” President Theodore Roosevelt, the first progressive presidential candidate, declared that “Society has no business to permit degenerates to reproduce their kind.”

...snip...

Eugenics was a terrible ideology and one that should never be forgotten, but the world’s “elite” loved it...

In other words, the theory that man can "improve" man as a species, despite being debunked, continues to find fertile ground in the pseudo-sophisticated minds of pretend intellectuals. These self anointed elites do not believe in God.  They believe they are in fact gods.  But a belief and trust in God would perhaps have led to better ideas on how to improve society, while recognizing that man is a fallen creature.

Today we are in the throes of another false theory, i.e. climate change and all of its ugly ramifications. In fact, the parallels between climate change and eugenics are downright ominous. The first to person to recognize these ominous parallels and candidly discuss them was the late Dr. Michael Crichton in his 2004 book State of Fear. (At the time, Crichton genuinely feared publishing State of Fear, worrying that the book’s theme, which challenged climate change dogma, could get him killed.

Despite climate change theories being debunked as fast as they are propounded, the true believers make sure they won’t go away. They hide behind the word “unprecedented.” Everything that’s happened before on planet Earth—heat waves, drought, rain, wildfires, storms—is unprecedented, making it beyond challenge and justifying draconian, anti-human policies.

Gentle readers are encouraged to read the whole post.

Democrats Won't Like the New Rules When Republicans Come to Power

Kurt Schlichter, over at Townhall.com takes the issue of the recent banning of the Second Amendment in Bernalillo County (Albuquerque) to highlight the "new rules" and just how Democrats won't like them when used against them.

The title of Schlichter's essay today is The Tool Who Governs New Mexico Has Handed Patriots a Potent New Tool. Faithful readers will recognize this as a favorite hobby horse of Mr. Schlichter, though it is fun to think about. With rare exceptions, Republicans never turn the tables on the far-left fascist Democrats, claiming we are "better than that." But in a world where the only thing stopping such shenanigans is the thought of what might happen if they were used against the other side, turning the tables seems the only reasonable reaction. With that in mind, let's hear what Schlichter thinks might be good uses of the "new rules."

I want to thank the versatile governor of New Mexico, whose name I don’t care about, for being a communist and a fascist all at once. Now that may seem strange, coming from somebody who actually believes in freedom and actually defended it for 27 years, but I want you to hear me out. She may be an aspiring dictator and a mid-wit Karen brimming over with Xanax wishes and Chardonnay dreams, but she’s providing us with a valuable opportunity that we should take full advantage of. She has decreed that the constitutional right to keep and bear arms must yield to what she unilaterally decided is a “public health emergency.” Cool. Now, I’ve got some decrees of our own.

I’ve long said that there are three ways things can go. Option One is a free society where there are norms and rules that we all abide by and our Constitutional rights are protected and everybody has a right to participate in their own governance. This is my favorite option. It’s the one that I grew up in back when America was a free country and not a pronoun-fixated banana republic. Option Two is an authoritarian dictatorship where guys like me are in charge. Not my first choice, but I can live with it. Finally, Option Three is a communist dictatorship, and then it’s basically break out the rifles, boys. I was never good at kneeling, and at my age, my knees just won’t tolerate it any better than my attitude will.

Well, Governor Paula Pot has made it clear that Option One is now off the table, so I guess we have to go with Option Two – ironically, during the week of the 50th anniversary of Augusto Pinochet overthrowing the communist dictator of Chile. Now, I think it’s a bad idea and I’m still pushing for Option One, but it’s pretty clear that freedom no longer an option. So Option Two it is.

...snip...

The first thing red states need to decree is a ban on the teaching, advocacy, or practice of socialism in any of its putrid forms. Those who care nothing about the children will immediately pipe up about the alleged right to speak freely, but they refuse to acknowledge the harm this poisonous ideology does. Harm trumps rights, as colleges and the regime media have taught us. And boy, is socialism harmful. It’s violence – literally. Marxism is responsible for over 100 million deaths in the last century. That’s more deaths than net neutrality, Republican Medicare cuts, and dead-naming combined!

I like it! However, I can see problems with just banning Marxism, socialism, Communism fascism and so on. The first is they will just rename themselves and keep right on. They have always done this. Remember when Communist became a dirty word, they were "Progressives?" Right now they are out there, loud and proud, in some cases literally. If they are banned, they will simply go underground, but keep the same beliefs. Maybe an outright ban is not such a great idea. What else does he have?

The next public health decree? No trans insanity! We’ve got a public health crisis where children are being mutilated with chemicals and scalpels to conform their God-given bodies to the delusions of their Chardonnay-sodden Munchhausen mommies. This must stop. I know it’s weird that I have to say it, but castrating a boy so he can more effectively pretend to be a girl causes harm. And it is unsafe. And therefore it should be subject to being banned by a decree issued by a caring chief executive. And if you disagree, you clearly don’t care about the children – wait, that’s actually not sarcasm.

But why stop at kids? The decree should include outlawing mutilation as a treatment for mental illness in adults as well. I know that there are some well-meaning libertarianish folks out there who buy the idea that after age 18, we as a society have no interest in what you do to yourself. Well, we don’t let people walk into a hospital and say “Chop off my arm” because they feel like it, and what’s good for the arm is good for the penis.

If you want to cut up your body because you think you’re the other gender, you have a mental problem and not a physical one that can be cured by some quack surgeon slicing you into pieces. Some people will say this isn’t tolerant, and that’s fine with me. We tried tolerance, and we ended up with men dressed like Charo twerking their be-thonged butts in the faces of our kindergartners.

The next decree should address a massive public health crisis among children, because it’s always about the children, who are failing to learn and be educated in unionized schools. That’s public healthish, right? Clearly, teachers unions must be outlawed, and those running them prosecuted and punished for the lasting harm they have inflicted on a generation of kids. Now, some might argue that this is the kind of policy that should go through the normal legislative process, but I beg to differ. It’s a public health emergency when children are failing to learn to read and write because I said so, and if you disagree that’s violence, and if you oppose this common sense measure, you clearly hate the children. There’s blood on your hands. You should be deplatformed. You’re also racist and probably a transphobe or something.

Well, I like these suggestions too! With a stroke of a pen, we can get rid of queer weirdos and green haired teachers! Boy oh boy. But hold on. Now that I think about it, this doesn't really solve the problem, any more than Grisham's edict banning the carrying of firearms solves the underlying problem. So, what will?

All kidding aside now, the first problem is that we have turned away from God. Without God, we have no moral compass. Morality now comes down to doing what feels good at the moment. It may feel good to sell drugs because that seems an easy way to make a lot of money. But of course, you can hardly appeal to the police for protection of either your product or your life. So, you carry a firearm, whether legal or not, and you shoot first because the other drug dealers would do the same to you. Of course, going to the range and learning to shoot responsibly is too much trouble.  And then the Biblical admonition comes into play: if you live by the sword, you will surely die by the sword. It happens to too many drug dealers, but hey, they were warned. Whether Grisham likes it or not, having the police come down hard on criminals is the only way to contain criminal behavior. But she has decided to restrict the law-abiding people in preference to restricting the criminal class.

In the same way, solving the problem of teachers teaching subversive stuff is to better control who teaches our kids. Once again, the problem is that teachers that do not have a God focus have no moral compass. Teacher shortages or not, the best way to a) attract good teachers and b) to ensure our kids get a proper education is to better screen teachers for their knowledge and character. That includes getting rid of "education departments" and requiring teachers to have an actual degree in something real like history, or English, or mathematics, physics, chemistry or biology. Anyone with a "studies" degree need not apply. Teachers used to have actual degrees in real subjects, not the amorphous "education degrees." Going down a local street, there are a number of cross streets with the names of famous poets: Browning (Robert), Anderson (Hans Christian) and others. The point is that I ran into someone who claimed to be a teacher of English who did not recognize any of the names. What is she teaching, one wonders?

Schlichter is at pains to remind readers that he doesn't like the "new rules" and doesn't think the Dems will like them either when they are out of power. But the only way to teach them not to keep changing the rules is to apply them to fascist far-left good and hard. Democrats think they will be in power forever. I am sorry to disabuse them of the notion, but eventually the other side may be in power, and the new rules you are trying out won't feel so good when used against you.

Again, I don’t like any of this, but you know what I like even less? Taking this crap without hitting back. Leftist jerks, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – I told you so.

We need an exorcism

Andrea Widburg is a senior editor at the American Thinker, who points today to two writers she admires at Two astute conservative commentators show how far we have deviated from normal in America. Of course, I encourage gentle readers to read Widburg's piece, as she is always an astute commentator as well. Naturally, I read both articles to which Mrs. Widburg hyperlinked, for to fail to do so would be blogging malpractice, no?

Styne's article is typically witty and acerbic, and as always, well worth reading. It points out that nothing about the current situation is "normal." I will just quote the end:

How about none of the above? Maybe half the country - or, to be more precise, forty-six per cent of registered voters - thinks the real problem is that the system no longer provides for any meaningful course correction. You can vote for an end to open borders, but you won't get it. You can vote to bring home the jobs that got shipped to China, but China owns all the politicians, all the "big guys" with the "ten per cent". You can vote against two-decade wars that end with the world's hyperpower losing to goatherds with fertiliser, but back at the Pentagon they just take a twenty-minute tea-break, throw a dart in the map, and start it all up somewhere else.

The Trump presidency was undone by Joe Biden's signing pen about ten minutes after inauguration. But that wasn't enough for the Uniparty. Like Oliver Cromwell, he has to be dug up and beheaded, over and over and over, and all his allies too, from Giuliani to that Florida grandmother - until you guys get the message.

Why pretend that's "normal" and meekly fall in line and move on to Nikki Haley? Even if you're going to lose, you might as well take a stand with Trump against the "normalization" of a system determined to criminalize you.

You can't have "normal" politics in a country where one side gets endlessly indicted and the other never is (notwithstanding the latest fake-o headlines about the not-so-Special Counsel promising to throw the book at Hunter on gun charges). America is dying before your eyes. Why pretend that's normal?

Please read the Mark Steyn article. The reference to the Conrad Black trial is to show how the government seeks through underhanded means to intimidate coworkers and friends to turn on you, hoping to be eaten last. This same tactic is being done to Trump now. That is why his lawyers are being indicted for doing their jobs.

Everything Steyn says in his essay is true. And we should not take these things as 'normal.' But I cannot help but believe that there is something much deeper that is guiding this decent into depravity. More and more others see it too. I have been told by people as inestimable as Francis W. Porretto that I must appeal on grounds other than religious, but I am compelled to do otherwise. I am here today to say these things to you because Jesus Christ saved my life, and I must proclaim Him.

Widburg also hyperlinks to Don Surber, an author I had not been familiar with, but who seems to see the thing, the beast, beneath the surface, moving the pieces on the chess board, always 10 moves ahead of us mere mortals. He calls it Satanic. Yet, Christ fights for us. How can we lose?

Again, I will quote from the end of Surber's essay, but read the whole thing to understand how he arrives at his conclusions:,/p>

The Christians built this nation into the greatest land of all. It took them only 300 or so years. Along the way, they created a government that was meant to protect their rights. It has devolved into the biggest threat to America. We have met the domestic terrorists. They sit at desks in Washington.

The enemy from within used 9/11 to expand federal power and to launch wars. Once 9/11 served this purpose, it was discarded. Billionaire Mike Bloomberg supported building a Victory Mosque near Ground Zero. This year, Mayor Eric Adams has the Muslim Call to Prayer intoned throughout the city. Biden is spending 9/11 in Alaska, as far away from New York as possible and still be in the USA — and away from Maui and East Palestine, Ohio.

Satan has taken over just about every institution in the country that matters. Even churches now work for him, if unwittingly. We can call it communism or fascism but the only name that fits is Satanism.

How else do you describe a political movement based on pedophilia and the mutilation of children through hormone blockers and butchery on the surgeons table?

How else do you describe Red China turning our streets into opium dens with zombie fentanyl users?

How else do you describe a police state that arrests those who try to stop a crime while ignoring actual criminals?

The left gave up on the war on drugs but kept every one of those laws. They now use the laws against the opposition. It is everything Real Americans oppose. It is evil. It is Satanist.

We need an exorcism, folks.

I do not know if an exorcism can be performed on a whole country. But we can pray that God will soon bring this demonic infestation to and end, and turn all eyes back to Him, for in Him is our only hope.

WEF Builds The Tower of Babel

 The globalist kleptocrats, also known as the Davos crowd, haven't been too loud about it, but they have definitely been rubbing their hands at the idea of "depopulating" the earth.  When one is caught in rush hour traffic at the end of a hard day, it may be tempting to dream of fewer cars crowding the road, but let's be clear.  No person is God, and only He has the right to depopulate the earth. Our godless "elite" do not have that right.

J. B. Shurk has a compelling piece today at the American Thinker entitled Depopulation Fanatics Should Never Be Trusted With Government Power.

A message from Captain Obvious: political “elites” with depopulation agendas have no interest in saving lives. Instead, they pursue policies that either outright kill people or shorten their lives and discourage them from reproducing.

Sometimes members of the global ruling class whisper this uncomfortable truth out loud, as John Kerry did this summer when he euphemistically described the world’s population as “unsustainable.” Or as Prince Philip of the United Kingdom once admitted before his death: “In the event that I am reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus, to contribute something to solving overpopulation.” Most of the time, however, the self-anointed globacracy speaks in coded language — dog whistles, if you will — by advocating for policies that purportedly deal with some “woke” issue but whose end effect is to spread infertility and death.

Defending abortion up to the moment of a baby’s birth (and sometimes after) isn’t about women’s rights — it’s about reducing the number of babies. Rationing fuels necessary for heating homes and generating electricity isn’t about “saving the planet” — it’s about making it harder to survive on this planet. Forbidding the use of fertilizers that help farmers feed a hungry world isn’t about fighting “climate change” — it’s about inducing famine. Encouraging children to volunteer for castration isn’t about respecting their “authentic gender” — it’s about poisoning their family trees before those youngsters even reach puberty. Forcing people to take experimental “vaccines” with dangerous side effects isn’t about “saving lives” — it’s about reducing lifespans. These are the cold, hard facts. And once a person accepts them for what they are, a natural question arises: why should the people of planet Earth sit back and do nothing while their “leaders” quietly orchestrate their slaughter?

When all our fascist far-left government and kleptocratic globalist elite policies all point in one direction, and that to shorten our lives while preventing us from reproducing, they are making themselves perfectly clear. They seek to kill as many of us as possible. What do you call a mass indiscriminate killer? Certainly "genocide" isn't enough cover what they are doing.  Genocides are usually against a minority, such as the Jews, or the Albanian Christians.  But these people don't care, as long as they exterminate billions of us. Perhaps demonic will have to do, for only Satan could conceive of evil on such a grand scale.

These ideas are not new. They just have percolated in quiet corners of the environmental movement for decades, and for some, for centuries. People who think like this are known as Neo-Malthusians, after the orginator of this theory, Thomas Malthus (1766-1834). At heart, Malthusians are true luddites, not believing in man's ability to adapt to his environment, sometimes by changing the environment. But man, not having either sharp teeth or fearsome claws, has had to constantly adapt using his wits as a weapon in order to survive. So why are they so convinced he can not do it again?

Actually, I don't think the real pushers of the depopulation movement behind the scenes are true Malthusians. Rather, with what they think will be the result of technology, they are concerned that too many of us will have too much time on our hands to make trouble for the kleptocratic elites. Idle hands, doncha know. They are concerned there won't be enough "useful" work for us, and we will turn to mischief. The goal is to shrink us down, disarm us, immobilize us, surveil us, and keep us busy digging ditches with spoons. They think they can avoid the unpleasant end other tyrants have received throughout history.

Our entire situation is so absurd. The feudal lords are running around killing babies, castrating children, starving serfs, and depriving the peasants of electricity. A more rational generation would take one look around at these grim conditions and rightly conclude that the world’s reigning nobility must be overthrown posthaste. Through the witchcraft of propaganda and indoctrination, however, our feudal lords have convinced a depressingly large number of “useful idiots” that their campaign of child mutilation, societal mayhem, and senseless murder is somehow “virtuous.” How do you commit genocide without anyone calling you a monster? You simply teach the victims that their murders are “politically correct,” and after a generation or two, the most malleable among us will be volunteering to help massacre themselves!

This is a dangerous game. The only way a minuscule number of ruling families can dominate the planet is if the global population continues to believe that all these destructive policies are actually their idea. As soon as that spell is broken and people wake up from their self-imposed slavery, then a season of pitchforks and pyres will end ruling class power forever. It is absolutely imperative that the masses keep chanting about “climate change” and “transgenderism,” lest they break free from their chains and rid the world of their Machiavellian masters.

There’s a reason the Marxist globalists had been, until recently, slow-walking the peasants toward their new-world-order cages: they knew a great awakening among the populace would mean lights out for them. Better to keep the people in the dark while they dig their own graves than to admit the “Great Reset” is real and start digging their own.

Gentle readers can read the rest of Shurk's article. I would like to take off on a tangent here and perhaps offer some hope that all will be well. In the Bible, in the Book of Genesis is the story of the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11: 1-9). In that story, God noticed that mankind was building a tower tower to reach the heavens. But how about if we let Moses tell the tale:

11 Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. 2 As people moved eastward,[a] they found a plain in Shinar[b] and settled there.

3 They said to each other, “Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. 4 Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”

5 But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. 6 The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”

8 So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. 9 That is why it was called Babel[c]—because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth.

Note two things. The first is that the Lord refers to Himself as "us." We can derive from one of the first references to the Trinity. Second, and more importantly, the people in the story were once again attempting to take the place of God. This was the original sin, that of hubris and pride so breathtaking as to believe that they were God. But as the Lord said to Job in Job 38: 1-4:

4 “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?

Tell me, if you understand.

5 Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know!

Who stretched a measuring line across it?

6 On what were its footings set,

or who laid its cornerstone—

7 while the morning stars sang together

and all the angels[a] shouted for joy?

What I am getting at here is that the WEF and its acolytes are attempting, once again, to set themselves in God's place. He will only let this go on just so long. I hear and read that much of the Leftist agenda is crumbling around them. But I know too that they will do whatever it takes to save it. As a result, we are not out of the woods yet, and there may be some rough going ahead. I hope you will all pray.
