1 THE word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD ... saying,
2 Go unto the house of the Rechabites, and speak unto them, and bring them into the house of the LORD, into one of the chambers, and give them wine to drink.
3 Then I took ... the whole house of the Rechabites;
4 And I brought them into the house of the LORD, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan, ...:
5 And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites pots full of wine, and cups, and I said unto them, Drink ye wine.
6 But they said, We will drink no wine: for Jonadab the son of Rechab our father commanded us, saying, Ye shall drink no wine, neither ye, nor your sons for ever: ...
8 Thus have we obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab our father in all that he hath charged us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, nor our daughters; ...
12 ¶ Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying, ...
14 The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, that he commanded his sons not to drink wine, are performed; for unto this day they drink none, but obey their father's commandment: ...
16 Because the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have performed the commandment of their father, which he commanded them; ...
18 ¶ And Jeremiah said unto the house of the Rechabites, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Because ye have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according unto all that he hath commanded you:
19 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not want a man to stand before me for ever.*

19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.**

43 And whosoever among you are sick, and have not faith to be healed, but believe, shall be nourished with all tenderness, with herbs and mild food, and that not by the hand of an enemy.***

40 And there were some who died with fevers, which at some seasons of the year were very frequent in the land—but not so much so with fevers, because of the excellent qualities of the many plants and roots which God had prepared to remove the cause of diseases, to which men were subject by the nature of the climate—****

*Old Testament | Jeremiah 35:1-19 (Bold emphasis added.)
UNABRIDGED
1 THE word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,
2 Go unto the house of the Rechabites, and speak unto them, and bring them into the house of the LORD, into one of the chambers, and give them wine to drink.
3 Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habaziniah, and his brethren, and all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites;
4 And I brought them into the house of the LORD, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan, the son of Igdaliah, a man of God, which was by the chamber of the princes, which was above the chamber of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the door:
5 And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites pots full of wine, and cups, and I said unto them, Drink ye wine.
6 But they said, We will drink no wine: for Jonadab the son of Rechab our father commanded us, saying, Ye shall drink no wine, neither ye, nor your sons for ever:
7 Neither shall ye build house, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard, nor have any: but all your days ye shall dwell in tents; that ye may live many days in the land where ye be strangers.
8 Thus have we obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab our father in all that he hath charged us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, nor our daughters;
9 Nor to build houses for us to dwell in: neither have we vineyard, nor field, nor seed:
10 But we have dwelt in tents, and have obeyed, and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.
11 But it came to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came up into the land, that we said, Come, and let us go to Jerusalem for fear of the army of the Chaldeans, and for fear of the army of the Syrians: so we dwell at Jerusalem.
12 ¶ Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying,
13 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Go and tell the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will ye not receive instruction to hearken to my words? saith the LORD.
14 The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, that he commanded his sons not to drink wine, are performed; for unto this day they drink none, but obey their father's commandment: notwithstanding I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye hearkened not unto me.
15 I have sent also unto you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Return ye now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and go not after other gods to serve them, and ye shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers: but ye have not inclined your ear, nor hearkened unto me.
16 Because the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have performed the commandment of their father, which he commanded them; but this people hath not hearkened unto me:
17 Therefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon Judah and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced against them: because I have spoken unto them, but they have not heard; and I have called unto them, but they have not answered.
18 ¶ And Jeremiah said unto the house of the Rechabites, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Because ye have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according unto all that he hath commanded you:
19 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not want a man to stand before me for ever.

Observation from a Prophet - 1843: “The doctors in this region don’t know much… doctors won’t tell you how to go to be well.  They want to kill or cure you to get your money.  Calomel doctors will give you calomel to cure a sliver in the big toe and not stop to know whether the stomach is empty or not.
Calomel on an empty stomach will kill the patient, and lobelia doctors will do the same.
If you feel any inconvenience, take some mild physic two or three times, and then some bitters (herbs.)  If you can’t get anything else, take a little salt and cayenne pepper.  If you can’t get salt, take pecosia, or gnaw down a butternut tree. Get some boreset or horehound…
I will give you advice that will do you good…

The Penultimate*(?) False Flag

A false flag operation is an act committed with the intent of disguising the actual source of responsibility and pinning blame on another party.¹

Perhaps this 20th Anniversary of 9-11 is a good time to briefly review² the long history of false-flag employment by diverse world powers and players. With the historical ubiquity of false flags, one wonders if “false flag” should not be the first presumption in every real or seeming crisis. However, by using the word penultimate, I do not refer to September 11, 2001. The truth of that 9-11 event is still being suppressed and / or ignored, but the penultimate false flag is probably the one we are now experiencing — the one where the powers and their believers are malevolently pointing their finger at Mother Nature while witting and unwitting servitors remain hunched over in bio-labs, obsessed with manufacturing synthetics, tweaking bio-messenger codes, and pumping gain-of-function. All the while, MSM script-readers repetitiously postulate and publish a flawed Mother-Nature narrative. In reality, the accusatory finger is pointing through Mother Nature to the flawed God of a flawed creation. And the MSM is proving to be the index finger (and frequently the middle) of a false-flag factory.

Yes, COVID-19 is riddled with false flags even beyond blaming Mother Nature. In 2020, COVID-19 itself was false-flagged — blamed for all kinds of unrelated deaths. Now, all kinds of co-morbidities and unknown, unexpected, strange morbidities are being false-flagged to obscure vaccine-induced injuries and deaths. And, even as I write, wave on wave of headlines are false-flagging the un-vaccinated for the current delta wave and all the prophesied, endless, future waves that will necessitate tri-annual booster shots or daily pills forever. Thus, vaccine passports are only as good as the most recent booster — and thus, the fully vaccinated will periodically be lumped back in with the faith-filled un-vaccinated heretics and with all their restrictions and persecutions.

BUT, if COVID-19 is the penultimate false flag, what is the ultimate? Could it be some polished knight on a painted horse flaring a flag emblazoned with miracles and promises like healing, health, peace, safety, justice, love, etc. etc. etc.? — a false messiah spouting false promises for a desperately sick, sinful, and oppressed world? And by peace destroy many?

17 And the Lord will set his hand again the second time to restore his people from their lost and fallen state. Wherefore, he will proceed to do a marvelous work and a wonder among the children of men.
18 Wherefore, he shall bring forth his words unto them, which words shall judge them at the last day, for they shall be given them for the purpose of convincing them of the true Messiah, who was rejected by them; and unto the convincing of them that they need not look forward any more for a Messiah to come, for there should not any come, save it should be a false Messiah which should deceive the people;³

23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power; and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.⁴

22 For in those days there shall also arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders, insomuch, that, if possible, they shall deceive the very elect, who are the elect according to the covenant. ...
25 Wherefore, if they shall say unto you: Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: Behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not;
26 For as the light of the morning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west, and covereth the whole earth, so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be.⁵

Watch therefore, for the false flag cometh first, as sure as night precedes day.

*[P]enultimate means “next to last” or “second to last.” It’s probably because it adds an emphatic extra syllable to the word ultimate that people think it somehow means “more” than ultimate—but it really means less. Used correctly, you can say “the penultimate scene of a play” or “the penultimate line of a poem” or “the film’s penultimate shot.” It’s a formal or literary way of saying “next to last.”

The YES Bait

Why have so many said “yes” to so much that violates human rights and freedoms? Of course, fear and trust in presumed authorities and experts accounts for most of the compliance, but science has also discovered that saying yes to unpleasant or harmful things can be programmed (as it were) by acclimating people to saying yes to preceding minor or innocuous things – a type of gradualism or incrementalism.

Catherine Sanderson says:

In many cases of tremendous evil, evil is carried out in small steps which makes it harder to recognize and also harder to stop. This process relies on a psychological strategy known as the foot-in-the-door phenomenon. This strategy is a two-step compliance technique in which an authority first asks someone to do a small request, but then later goes back and asks for a larger request. What research shows is that, in many cases, if people are initially asked for the larger request they will say “No.” It's pretty easy to resist But once someone has first agreed to a small request, it becomes harder and harder to resist subsequent requests as they get larger and larger in size.¹

She then goes on to relate a “foot-in-the-door” experiment in southern California where homeowners who agreed to place a 3-inch square sign – “Keep California Beautiful” – near their front door were approached about two weeks later to place a huge (somewhat tacky, ugly) billboard with the same words “Keep California beautiful” on their front lawn. 55% agreed as opposed to only 17% of home owners whose first and only request was to display the huge, obstructive billboard. The initial yes dramatically increased the rate of a second yes.

Sanderson also refers to the “shocking” 1960s experiments by Stanley Milgram which have been referenced several times in these Déjà Vu Times and Déjà Vu Times II blogs.² The Stanley Milgram experiments are perhaps the most relevant experiments to understand the unfolding, escalating obedience of 2020-202?. We are. in reality. in a global recycling of escalating obedience to harm demanded by powerful labcoats – consenting to culture shocks that are anti-human.

Many cannot see any parallels because they believe we are in an unprecedented pandemic that demands we sacrifice rights and freedoms for the safety of all, BUT what if the increasingly censored counter-narrative voices are right?³ What if this is all a long-imagined, long-planned pscience⁴-driven experiment to achieve a Utopian tyranny? What if this is a test of trust in God, not unlike the young prophet's test described in JST 1 Kings 13?⁵ What if believers in the narrative have been suckered because:

... there are many yet on the earth among all sects, parties, and denominations, who are blinded by the subtle craftiness of men, whereby they lie in wait to deceive, and who are only kept from the truth because they know not where to find it—?⁶

Sanderson's final words in Lecture Ten describe the lessons and good news that knowledge / awareness of “this natural human tendency to fall prey to authorities demanding obedience can help people resist such pressures.” The lessons:

First, question authority no matter what. It's perhaps human nature to trust someone who is in an authority position and to follow his or her orders. but this sort of mindless obedience can have serious consequences, so be willing to question authority no matter a person's position. Don't be blindly obedient, regardless of their status, their uniform, their title. [Second]. If you are asked to carry out an order by someone, ask whether you would do the same on your own initiative ... There is no excuse to say, I was just following orders. As you've learned in this class, evil can be a slippery slope. So it's also really important, whenever possible, to resist immediately. Once you start obeying it's actually very difficult, psychologically, to stop; to pull yourself out. It's very hard to stop once you've started obeying authority. And agreeing to even small requests. It's actually far easier to resist initially than to extricate yourself after you have already agreed to do some earlier acts. ... Finally, if you're in a group of people, try to find someone else who is willing to join you in resisting. It is hard to stand alone against an authority. It is far easier, psychologically, to have someone else join you in defying the authority. And even if there's a large group of people willing to obey, having a single partner with you who will join you in defying an authority gives people tremendous courage and strength to resist obedience.⁷

So People, let us review. How many escalating (harmful? inhuman?) “YESes” have we given in the past 18 months? How many more requests / demands are in the works? requests / demands escalating to worse than in the Milgram experiments? And for those who insist (against overwhelming latter-day and historical evidence) that COVID 19 is NOT a long-planned, malevolent coup against rights and freedoms orchestrated by servitors of evil (and aided by the deceived or the complicit), there is little that can be said to awaken you now. You seem to have chosen to believe that safety (personal and allegedly other) is a first principle which has been known for ages to be a suasion and foundation of tyranny.

John Stuart Mill: “A man who has nothing which he is willing to fight for, nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety, is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.⁸

Note that the gift bait outlined in “Corruption by Design”⁹ and the Yes bait often converge to the same result — a morally-emaciated, over-the-cliff catastrophe as pictured by Boardman Robinson 105 years ago.
