The Mahan Strategy*?

Subtitle: “Conscious Creation of American Empire”1

Many of us recognize the word Mahan from:
31 And Cain said: Truly I am Mahan, the master of this great secret, that I may murder and get gain. Wherefore Cain was called Master Mahan, and he gloried in his wickedness. (Pearl of Great Price | Moses 5:31)

49 For Lamech having entered into a covenant with Satan, after the manner of Cain, wherein he became Master Mahan, master of that great secret which was administered unto Cain by Satan; and Irad, the son of Enoch, having known their secret, began to reveal it unto the sons of Adam; (Pearl of Great Price | Moses 5:49)

But how many know the key role that Alfred Thayer Mahan2 (1840 – 1914) played in pivoting the United States toward an obsession with Empire and all that empire building entails when it becomes an obsession?

Here is the account in brief (bold emphasis added):
While [Frederick Jackson] Turner[3] provided the idea for an empire, Mahan provided the more practical guide. In his 1890 work, The Influence of Seapower upon History, he suggested three strategies that would assist the United States in both constructing and maintaining an empire. First, noting the sad state of the U.S. Navy, he called for the government to build a stronger, more powerful version. Second, he suggested establishing a network of naval bases to fuel this expanding fleet. Seward’s previous acquisition of the Midway Islands served this purpose by providing an essential naval coaling station, which was vital, as the limited reach of steamships and their dependence on coal made naval coaling stations imperative for increasing the navy’s geographic reach. Future acquisitions in the Pacific and Caribbean increased this naval supply network (Figure 22.5) Finally, Mahan urged the future construction of a canal across the isthmus of Central America, which would decrease by two-thirds the time and power required to move the new navy from the Pacific to the Atlantic oceans. Heeding Mahan’s advice, the government moved quickly, passing the Naval Act of 1890, which set production levels for a new, modern fleet. By 1898, the government had succeeded in increasing the size of the U.S. Navy to an active fleet of 160 vessels, of which 114 were newly built of steel. In addition, the fleet now included six battleships, compared to zero in the previous decade. As a naval power, the country catapulted to the third strongest in world rankings by military experts, trailing only Spain and Great Britain.4

With the rhetoric of Fredrick J. Turner and the strategies of Alfred Mahan underpinning the desire for expansion abroad, the country moved quickly to ready itself for the creation of an American empire.5
Soon Spain was disposed of as the US went island hopping and mopping up. See the 10 targets illustrated in red on the map: Figure 22.5 here6 which is captained:
Figure 22.5 American imperial acquisitions as of the end of the Spanish-American War in 1898. Note how the spread of island acquisitions across the Pacific Ocean fulfills Alfred Mahan’s call for more naval bases in order to support a larger and more effective U.S. Navy rather than mere territorial expansion.7
Thus, the Mahan strategy has brought us to our present state where we openly brag of lying, cheating, stealing,8 [and murdering, if the truth were fully told]. We the People of the Books and of this nation must not forget the fallen Jaredites and Nephites who once occupied the Americas — “a land which is choice above all the lands of the earth.”9

And if we think NA lands will be spared the devastations of coming cataclysms, we fail to grasp the use of archetypes in prophecy. The sins and obsessions of US powers are exhaustively documented for those with the integrity to see and hear.10 This land has been enormously blessed, but in return we have spread over the entire world a spirit of Domination and secret combinations. And even with all our achievements, we do not yet rank with the greatness of the Jaredites (review footnote 9) who were destroyed.

Yes, the U.S. has blessed the world in many ways, but the weighing of good and evil is not a balancing act.11 The spread of Mahanic evil  over the past century (plus) has become a second flood, overwhelming much of the good once done. In our present denials and self-deceptions, this nation will fare little better than the Jaredites unless we turn back with haste to divinely-directed principles and values.

3. Frederick Jackson Turner (November 14, 1861 – March 14, 1932) was an American historian during the early 20th century, based at the University of Wisconsin until 1910, and then Harvard University. He was known primarily for his frontier thesis. 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_Jackson_Turner
The Frontier Thesis or Turner's Thesis (also American frontierism) is the argument advanced by historian Frederick Jackson Turner in 1893 that a settler colonial exceptionalism, under the guise of American democracy, was formed by appropriation of the rugged American frontier. He stressed the process of "winning a wilderness" to extend the frontier line further for U.S. colonization, and the impact this had on pioneer culture and character. A modern simplification describes it as Indigenous land possessing an "American ingenuity" that settlers are compelled to forcibly appropriate to create cultural identity that differs from their European ancestors.[1] Turner's text follows in a long line of thought within the framework of Manifest Destiny established decades earlier. He stressed in this thesis that American democracy was the primary result, along with egalitarianism, of a lack of interest in bourgeois or high culture, and violence. "American democracy was born of no theorist's dream; it was not carried in the Susan Constant to Virginia, nor in the Mayflower to Plymouth. It came out of the American forest, and it gained new strength each time it touched a new frontier," said Turner.[2] In the thesis, the American frontier established liberty from European mindsets and eroding old, dysfunctional customs. Turner's ideal of frontier had no need for standing armies, established churches, aristocrats or nobles; there was no landed gentry who controlled the land or charged heavy rents and fees. Frontier land was practically free for the taking according to Turner. The Frontier Thesis was first published in a paper entitled "The Significance of the Frontier in American History", delivered to the American Historical Association in 1893 in Chicago. He won wide acclaim among historians and intellectuals. Turner elaborated on the theme in his advanced history lectures and in a series of essays published over the next 25 years, published along with his initial paper as The Frontier in American History.[3]

11. Either justice and judgment fully weight the scale or mercy does. It's not a 49-51 bad vs. good determination.
Book of Mormon | Alma 34:14-17 (Bold emphasis added.) 
   14 And behold, this is the whole meaning of the law, every whit pointing to that great and last sacrifice; and that great and last sacrifice will be the Son of God, yea, infinite and eternal.
   15 And thus he shall bring salvation to all those who shall believe on his name; this being the intent of this last sacrifice, to bring about the bowels of mercy, which overpowereth justice, and bringeth about means unto men that they may have faith unto repentance.
   16 And thus mercy can satisfy the demands of justice, and encircles them in the arms of safety, while he that exercises no faith unto repentance is exposed to the whole law of the demands of justice; therefore only unto him that has faith unto repentance is brought about the great and eternal plan of redemption.
   17 Therefore may God grant unto you, my brethren, that ye may begin to exercise your faith unto repentance, that ye begin to call upon his holy name, that he would have mercy upon you;
Book of Mormon | Alma 42:22-26 (Bold emphasis added.)
   22 But there is a law given, and a punishment affixed, and a repentance granted; which repentance, mercy claimeth; otherwise, justice claimeth the creature and executeth the law, and the law inflicteth the punishment; if not so, the works of justice would be destroyed, and God would cease to be God.
   23 But God ceaseth not to be God, and mercy claimeth the penitent, and mercy cometh because of the atonement; and the atonement bringeth to pass the resurrection of the dead; and the resurrection of the dead bringeth back men into the presence of God; and thus they are restored into his presence, to be judged according to their works, according to the law and justice.
   24 For behold, justice exerciseth all his demands, and also mercy claimeth all which is her own; and thus, none but the truly penitent are saved.
   25 What, do ye suppose that mercy can rob justice? I say unto you, Nay; not one whit. If so, God would cease to be God.
   26 And thus God bringeth about his great and eternal purposes, which were prepared from the foundation of the world. And thus cometh about the salvation and the redemption of men, and also their destruction and misery.

Déjà Vu: the Doctrine of Balaam*? the Doctrine of the Nicolaitans*?

Another parallel?

The doctrines referred to in this post title and in Old Testament Numbers 31:16 and New Testament Revelation 2were the means “to cast a stumbling block” before God's covenant people. And considering that stumbling blocks come in all shapes and sizes, how might those doctrines be manifesting in our tech-saturated world?

I think most of us already know that we have ported many abominable doctrines directly into our homes for decades (subtly, at first) woven in amongst the news and entertainments of television programming. And programming is the operative word. We gradually accepted devolving standards until now we have the internet and the wild-west of western TikTok, a social-media platform, created in the east.2

60 Minutes Australia did a recent segment that is available in some countries,3 detailing the eastern and western versions of TikTok with a short trailer available here.4

Recent headlines include:
China Is Attempting To Influence US Kids By Offering An ‘Opium Version’ Of TikTok, Expert Says5
TikTok is China’s Trojan Horse6
But should we blame China for the different versions or is this broader than China? The doctrine of Balaam existed before China. The doctrine of Balaam was to distract, entrance, and seduce covenant people into breaking covenant and thus, weaken them from the inside out. And whether China and friends have an agenda to weaken and destroy the western world, the western world has manifest, for decades, a myopia, a self-deception, and almost a death-wish in pursuing the pride cycle7 — in manifesting the grandiosity, narcissism, and psychopathy of “unimpeachable” superiority. Remember ex-CiA chief, Mike Pompeo, who crowed to an applauding audience: “We lied; we cheated; we stole; [we ... (fill in the m-word he held back)].”8 Consider how we re-elect / re-appoint, time after time, so many Right AND Left representatives who lie, cheat, steal, and endorse killing with recycling impunity. (BUT for how much longer?)

The doctrines of old — the severing of words from actions and meaning; the delusions of smoothing hypocrisies — are now tightly woven into the fabric of our countries and governance. With our mouths we espouse human rights and values, but in our actions and policies, we do the inverse. We live the lie. We pursue the lie. We believe the lie. We demand others believe it, too.

We cherish and safe-guard lie-porting devices, not just in our homes, but carry them constantly in our hands, pockets, purses, and packs. And YES, yes, there is much good we can access and do via these devices, but do we ever analyze or ask: What is the majority of my use? for the good or for the ill? as a stepping stone or a stumbling block?

Do we have the courage to investigate ourselves, individually and collectively?

---------------------------------------------------/
* Balaam: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balaam
Nicolaism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolaism
“Because Revelation seems to link Balaam with the Nicolaitans, one can assume the church of Ephesus faced a similar dilemma. Immersed in pagan Roman culture in that city, the sect of the Nicolaitans may have attempted to woo the Christians away from their religion, just as they had been wooed before.” https://www.christianity.com/wiki/people/who-were-the-nicolaitans-in-revelation-why-did-god-hate-their-practices-so-much.html
“The doctrine of the Nicolaitans appears to have been a form of antinomianism, which makes the fatal mistake that man can freely partake in sin because the Law of God is no longer binding. It held the truth on the gratuitous reckoning of righteousness; but supposed that a mere intellectual "belief" in this truth had a saving power. // Nicolaitans of the 2nd century seem to have continued and extended the views of the 1st century adherents, holding to the freedom of the flesh and sin, and teaching that the deeds of the flesh had no effect upon the health of the soul and consequently no relation to salvation. Today, the doctrine is now largely taught that the gospel of Christ has made God's law of no effect: that by "believing" we are released from the necessity of being doers of the Word. But this is the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which Christ so unsparingly condemned in the book of Revelation.” | https://religion.fandom.com/wiki/Nicolaitans

1. Old Testament | Numbers 31:16  (Bold emphasis added.)
   16 Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD.
New Testament | Revelation 2:12-17  (Bold emphasis added.)
   12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;
   13 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
   14 But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.
   15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.
   16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
   17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.

Blind to Parallels?

Last Sunday, I listened (via zoom) to a lesson based on Daniel 3 (Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego) and 6 (Daniel in the den of lions). As I listened to the teachers and to class comments, I wondered if any latter-day parallels (recent mandates) would be acknowledged. I did not hear any, and I wonder if it is even possible to discuss mandate parallels in the divisive, fearful climate that has been created in the last two plus years.

Of course, our recent test1 did not amount [or did it?] to a burning fiery furnace, but can we not see any example or parallel? We were not faced (this time around) with imminent death for refusing to obey authorities or alleged experts, but many experienced significant loss of freedoms and livelihood; discrimination and invective2; and the “fury” of some leaders, enforcers, and narrative believers who were alarmed or terrified by MSM reports (and distortions).

But what is the purpose of scripture and history, if not to acknowledge the examples and parallels for our day?
16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter.
17 If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace [or any other unlawful order or power abuse or lie], and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.
18 But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image [of pscience3] which thou hast set up.
19 ¶ Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego: (Old Testament | Daniel 3:16-19)
Millions of us have witnessed:
▪ how the visage of presidents, prime ministers, and others was changed in a matter of days against those refusing experimental vaccination;

▪ how once respected citizens were suddenly anathema — despised as selfish, unchristian, morally deficient, anti-science, etc. by leaders, family, friends, and others (review footnote 2);
▪ how all the admirable progress of the last half-century toward more universal equity and justice has been suddenly upended by an oppressive, bullying, cultural shift.
And what of Daniel who, with his friends, had the wisdom and courage to refuse the king's food? or to disrespect the king's decree forbidding prayer [religious gathering?] (Old Testament | Daniel 6:7)?

On the other hand, how many latter-day authorities, professionals, enforcers, and others have been caught unwittingly in a power-grab conspiracy, not unlike the entrapment of king Darius?
3 Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
4 ¶ Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find none occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.
5 Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God.
6 Then these presidents and princes assembled together to the king, and said thus unto him, King Darius, live for ever.
7 All the presidents of the kingdom, the governors, and the princes, the counsellors, and the captains, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any God or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.
8 Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.
9 Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree.
10 ¶ Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.
11 Then these men assembled, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God.
12 Then they came near, and spake before the king concerning the king's decree; Hast thou not signed a decree, that every man that shall ask a petition of any God or man within thirty days, save of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.
13 Then answered they and said before the king, That Daniel, which is of the children of the captivity of Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the decree that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three times a day.
14 Then the king, when he heard these words, was sore displeased with himself, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him: and he laboured till the going down of the sun to deliver him.
15 Then these men assembled unto the king, and said unto the king, Know, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is, That no decree nor statute which the king establisheth may be changed.
16 Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. Now the king spake and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee.
17 And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords; that the purpose might not be changed concerning Daniel.
18 ¶ Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting: neither were instruments of musick brought before him: and his sleep went from him. (Old Testament | Daniel 6:3–18)
How many parallels might we be missing?

Now two questions for those who still believe the COVID narrative4 or the predictive programming of more illness to come; or that safety ranks above freedom; or that contagion risk makes our day unique and, thus, has nothing in common with Daniel. Consider:
▪ if CV were a conspiracy5 of power to destroy human rights and freedoms and God's creation;
▪ if Pharma corps have already been fined billions for fraud6;
▪ if many pro-experimental-vax advocates are heavily invested in Pharma shares or lucrative patents;
▪ if more illness is undoubtedly coming because the CV power-grab and the public's conversion to pscience and fear was so enormously successful;
then, 1) how can you know whether the unexplained increases in death7 and illness are another CV variant OR intentional fallout from the experimental alleged cure? and 2) will your continued support or belief have consequence8?

At some point each individual will have a choice to forgive or not the injuries or harms they individually suffered, but to forget as a society is to invite egregious repetition. These compilations witness the bullying, dark-side of human nature where safety becomes the prime value of fear-driven acolytes of a Domination System that has been pursuing total control and WO for millennia.
3. Pscience is the corrupted offshoot of honorable Science. It is the inevitable consequence of man's obsessive pursuit and protection of power, gain, glory, and domination. Pscience is pseudo, psychopathic, propagandizing, plagiarizing, psy-opic, and above all, profit-obsessed, and profit-driven. This obsessive pursuit and protection by people without conscience is often enabled by naïve, trusting, or fear-filled acolytes. Pscience is a one-faith, one-dogma, heretic-fearing, self-deceiving, other-censoring system. The 21st Century question is: What are we now enabling or supporting? Science or pscience?

8. Book of Mormon | Ether 8:22-26
   22 And whatsoever nation shall uphold such secret combinations, to get power and gain, until they shall spread over the nation, behold, they shall be destroyed; for the Lord will not suffer that the blood of his saints, which shall be shed by them, shall always cry unto him from the ground for vengeance upon them and yet he avenge them not.
   23 Wherefore, O ye Gentiles, it is wisdom in God that these things should be shown unto you, that thereby ye may repent of your sins, and suffer not that these murderous combinations shall get above you, which are built up to get power and gain—and the work, yea, even the work of destruction come upon you, yea, even the sword of the justice of the Eternal God shall fall upon you, to your overthrow and destruction if ye shall suffer these things to be.
   24 Wherefore, the Lord commandeth you, when ye shall see these things come among you that ye shall awake to a sense of your awful situation, because of this secret combination which shall be among you; or wo be unto it, because of the blood of them who have been slain; for they cry from the dust for vengeance upon it, and also upon those who built it up.
   25 For it cometh to pass that whoso buildeth it up seeketh to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations, and countries; and it bringeth to pass the destruction of all people, for it is built up by the devil, who is the father of all lies; even that same liar who beguiled our first parents, yea, even that same liar who hath caused man to commit murder from the beginning; who hath hardened the hearts of men that they have murdered the prophets, and stoned them, and cast them out from the beginning.
   26 Wherefore, I, Moroni, am commanded to write these things that evil may be done away, and that the time may come that Satan may have no power upon the hearts of the children of men, but that they may be persuaded to do good continually, that they may come unto the fountain of all righteousness and be saved.

Campaign: Amnesty*?

Further to the Déjà Vu -Times II post of October 2, 2022: Should We Forget?**

Has anyone noticed the increasing frequency of:
• “We didn't know.”
• “We were learning by experience in a crisis and made mistakes.”
• “We made the best decisions / judgments we could at the time”?
• “We had the best intentions.”
Not exactly a plea for forgiveness, but more an appeal to not hold “inexperience” against the authorities / experts; to not dwell on past actions or current data; to just move on without memory. But here is one man's take on the “amnesty” idea (begin at minute 1:30):


The COVID Tyrants Want Forgiveness. They Should Get ... | Ep. 1053

oops, sorry! (Paul Joseph Watson | Nov 1, 2022 | Time 9:13 min.) at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmFY2PB-1xM]
So, the question: Do we pretend all this never happened?
• police brutality
• threats and coercion
• lies and gas-lighting
• hostile rhetoric and targeting
• fear-mongering
• unethical human experimentation
• massive human rights violations
• censorship
• cancelling licenses to practice
• massive profiteering by Pharma and insider big-corps
• long-term costs in lives, livelihoods, mental & physical health
• irreparable education and career disruptions
• COVID and vaxx blame-shifting and data corruption
elite infractions of their own mandates
• and on and on
Are we to forget while most of the above are still being practiced and pushed in various ways — even as the “amnesty ” narrative is surfacing?

Did the powers and authorities really not know what they were doing? Or was this just one more tech-driven trial-run to bring about the WO that has been the dream of narcissistic / psychopathic powers for generations? Both the science and history of power-abuse plus the prolific evidence of the past two plus years, should leave us in no doubt. “Amnesty” is just the latest fraud in the relentless pursuit of WO.

Amnesty is amnesia and the world has already suffered too much of that. Perhaps after trials and convictions, we can be asked about individual forgiveness. As it stands, we have no right to forgive on behalf of or as assumed proxy for others.

Let the trials begin.

Added November 9, 2022: When all the facts and deceptions are revealed following investigation and trial, then each individual will have a choice to forgive or not the injuries or harms they individually suffered, but to forget as a society or to not pursue truth is to invite egregious repetition. JPSears has, perhaps, said it best thus far:

*Although this is the usual definition:

Amnesty (from the Ancient Greek ἀμνηστία, amnestia, "forgetfulness, passing over") is defined as "A pardon extended by the government to a group or class of people, usually for a political offense; the act of a sovereign power officially forgiving certain classes of people who are subject to trial but have not yet been convicted."[1] Though the term general pardon has a similar definition,[2] an amnesty constitutes more than a pardon, in so much as it obliterates all legal remembrance of the offense.[3] Amnesty is increasingly used to express the idea of "freedom" and to refer to when prisoners can go free. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amnesty

Amnesty is now being used to suggest that people who were injured by the acts of government or government p-p partners, agents, or devotees should agree to forego trial and / or conviction for offences and injuries; in essence, to “obliterate all legal remembrance of the offense.”
