The Great Psy-Op Mockery

As previously observed on several occasions,¹ the adversary loves mocking all that is good or praiseworthy. But above all he loves mocking people — God's creations, God's sheeple. All it takes is a cursory review of secular and religious history to understand how sheeplish² we are, always following some new-fad shepherd into promised nirvanas of more personal power, gain, glory, and safety. Except there seems to be only two shepherd types: one leading to the straight gate, narrow way with few followers; the other leading to the wide gate, broad way with many entering thereat.³

So which one is leading on the COVID road? It seems that 2020 has exposed one of the greatest psy-op mockeries in the history of mankind. Here are just a few headlines and observations:

▪ Headline: ISLE OF FREEDOM: Isle of Man lockdown lifted: Jail-time for Covid breakers and ‘patriotic’ residents helped end restrictions⁴
▪ Headline: Isle of Man embraces lockdown freedom⁵
Psy-op Mockery: free to obey authorities; free to travel ONLY as far as the Manx Isle coastline; free until someone tests positive.

▪ Headline: If you want the most COVID protection, one doctor says wearing 4 face masks is best⁶
Psy-op Mockery: First none, then one, then two, then three, then four. What more? Eye and ear protection? Coveralls? All backed by pscience and scientism!

▪ Headline: More than 1.56 billion face masks could end up polluting oceans: report⁷
Psy-op Mockery: Obsessive hype about climate and environment on the one hand and extreme casualness about toxic? highly contaminating? massively polluting, dangerous ocean-floating masks?

▪ Headline: UN: ‘Concerning news’ vaccines may not work against variants⁸
Psy-op Mockery: Get used to the tyranny. Rights and freedoms are a thing of the past. The new normal is anti-social, anti-human, fear-based, compulsory because variants of something will always be on tap. Humanity is once again feudal property.

▪ Headline: Big Tech Pushes Digital ID Cards to Track Vaccinations, Shopping, Banking Activity and More Coercion is at the center of the global effort to manufacture consent for an all-encompassing digital identification system, in the form of SMART Health Cards and Digital Wallets.⁹
Psy-op Mockery: SMART means they are and you aren't and never will be.

▪ Headline: Trump Pardons Healthcare Execs Behind Massive Frauds: At least seven doctors or executives who ran discredited healthcare enterprises, from nursing homes to pain clinics, got “Get Out of Jail Free” cards before Trump left office.¹⁰
Psy-op Mockery: Convicted fraudsters are pardoned and get out of jail; you as a heretic / terrorist go to jail for rejecting psy-ops and frauds. (Review the Isle of MAN-ipulation "go to jail option" above.)

▪ Headline: COVID-19 vaccines and variants mean masks and social restriction here to stay¹¹
Psy-op Mockery: It was, is, and will forever be the COVID 19-84 Reset. Your rights and freedoms are gone. Tyranny is here to stay [UNLESS the snitches, brown-shirts, sleep-walkers, and enforcers awaken and act].

▪ Headline: COVID-19 Is Here To Stay As Lesser Threat, Warn Scientists Amid Concerns Over Variants: Headline: Scientists have warned coronavirus is here to stay and have further noted that the new strains can slip past the immunity generated by vaccines.¹²
Psy-op Mockery: Mandatory vaccines, their frequent boosters, Russian roulette reactions, and pharma immunity are the intentional norm. Variants will be the forever invisible enemy justifying anything and everything that is required for total control.

▪ Headline: Prepare for multiple waves of COVID-19 over 12 months: military chief to troops: Gen. Jonathan Vance says the CAF is planning for the 'worst-case scenario¹³
Psy-op Mockery: Trust in repeatedly flawed prediction modelling and repeatedly flood the zone with fear-pumping worst-case scenarios.

▪ Headline: The Coronavirus Seems to Spare Most Kids From Illness, but Its Effect on Their Mental Health Is Deepening¹⁴
Psy-op Mockery: Acknowledge the wrong and harm, but do or change nothing about the narrative, agendas, or lockdowns. Pretend that talking is caring without need for more until the manufactured crisis requires the removal of children into the “safety” of Child Protective Services.

▪ Headline: Why is there a guillotine on this Brooklyn rooftop?¹⁵
Psy-op Mockery: this is not the only guillotine art to appear. It's just a reminder of the French Revolution and the Georgia Guidestones Utopian notion requiring the death of billions.¹⁶

Keep an eye out for the psycho-mockery (e.g., essential BIG business vs. non-essential small business). It's everywhere and recognizing it may protect us, in some degree, from further evils, harms, and deceptions, and give guidance to our resistance as the Utopians plot to bring World Order (WO) out of the chaos of rights, freedoms, and despised competition.

When We Become Property

(The Yoke of Bondage)

The Domination System, which has been seeking despotic rule since before the days of Adam, has finally achieved technocratic supremacy, (perhaps like unto the days of Noah?¹). But the technocracy has not even had to fully reveal itself yet. Our gullible natures have already done much of the work needed in the roll out of the great conversion where all humans are to become property. Satan's driving obsession has always been to own and control the world, and we are well on the way to granting his passion. His servants (and intended usurpers) know how it's done because of millennia of accumulated research, experience, and practice. Now with technology and the science of mind-control, it is within reach. We have let the powers descend so far into nigh universal corruption that we are foolish to imagine rights and freedoms will ever be as God intended until He intervenes in some way to set right what we have mismanaged or acquiesced to by our naivete (or perhaps willful self-deception) concerning power and power abuse.

The System has always used the people to destroy themselves. Just read the writings of the insiders of the French Revolution² and witness how the same philosophies and mantras are being recycled today to further the conversion agenda of the System. We are even treating each other as property, as if COVID anointed us with some jurisdiction over others. We have become a “bully culture”³ almost overnight. “You must do this to protect me and mine.” “You must obey mandates that I believe to be justified because the “authorities” [the profiteers and power puppets] say they are.” “My fears are more important than God-ordained rights and freedoms,” and so on.

Can we not see how this whole fear-driven narrative is the perfect set-up, years in the making, to achieve the final conversion?

Already we are acting as property, being ordered about and dictated to by public servants as many of us complacently assume a yoke of bondage” under the psy-op assertions that abusing⁴ ourselves and others (through fear, isolation, masking, experimental vaccination, business closure, etc. etc.) shows we “care” for our fellow humans. We are treated as property when enforcers believe they can do with us as they are ordered without regard to rights or freedoms or fairness or justice; without regard to their service oaths or their conscience.

Once again I assert these truths founded in uncorrupted science and history:

The science of health is overwhelmingly against⁵ masking, isolation, distancing, lockdown, etc., while the science of behavior- and mind-control is obsessively pro-mask, pro-isolation, pro-distancing, pro-lockdown, pro-FEAR, pro-tyranny.

Until we acknowledge that the obsessive pursuit and protection of power, gain, and glory has plagued every age of history, we will never understand the events of our time. -SMS

STAND fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.⁶

Is there a déjà vu message here from ancient America, 62 B.C.?

We would subject ourselves to the yoke of bondage if it were requisite with the justice of God, or if he should command us so to do. But behold he doth not command us that we shall subject ourselves to our enemies, but that we should put our trust in him, and he will deliver us. Therefore, my beloved brother, Moroni, let us resist evil, and whatsoever evil we cannot resist with our words, yea, such as rebellions and dissensions, let us resist them with our swords, that we may retain our freedom, that we may rejoice in the great privilege of our church, and in the cause of our Redeemer and our God.⁷

How much are we resisting with our words? Or do we believe that recent headlines⁸ are just a temporary accommodation to a crisis and that nothing is required of us but to obey and endure till it's over? EXCEPT, it's not intended to be over, ever. The “variants” have unending purpose. To obey and endure without resistance is to become entangled with the yoke of bondage.

So, let us try the word with all our might, and seek to prove that: “The pen is mightier than the sword.”⁹

And now, as the preaching of the word had a great tendency to lead the people to do that which was just—yea, it had had more powerful effect upon the minds of the people than the sword, or anything else, which had happened unto them—therefore Alma thought it was expedient that they should try the virtue of the word of God.¹⁰

Why Sheep?

Few of us are comfortable being called sheep or sheeple which has become a frequent online disparagement. Yet sheep is the term used by God over and over again* to describe us, His children. So what are the characteristics of sheep? Here are parts of two online descriptions:

Flocking behavior
Sheep are best known for their strong flocking (herding) and following instinct. They will run from what frightens them and band together in large groups for protection. This is the only protection they have from predators. There is safety in numbers. It is harder for a predator to pick a sheep out of a group than to go after a few strays. ...
Follow the leader
When one sheep moves, the rest will follow, even if it does not seem to be a good idea. The flocking and following instinct of sheep is so strong that it caused the death of 400 sheep in 2006 in eastern Turkey. The sheep plunged to their death after one of the sheep tried to cross a 15-meter deep ravine, and the rest of the flock followed.
Even from birth, lambs learn to follow the older members of the flock. Ewes encourage their lambs to follow. The dominant members of the flock usually lead, followed by the submissive ones. If there is a ram in the flock, he usually leads. ...
Social
Sheep are very social animals. In a grazing situation, they need to see other sheep. In fact, ensuring that sheep always have visual contact with other sheep will prevent excess stress when moving, handling, or housing them. According to animal behaviorists, a group of five sheep is usually necessary for sheep to display their normal flocking behavior. A sheep will become highly-agitated if it is separated from the rest of the flock.¹

1. Timid, fearful, easily panicked
2. Dumb, stupid, gullible 
3. Stampede easily, vulnerable to mob psychology
4. Little or no means of self-defense; can only run
5. Easily killed by enemies
6. Jealous, competitive for dominance
7. Easily “cast” that is, flipped over on their back, sometimes from too much wool. Sheep are unable to right themselves and will die of starvation if not turned over by shepherd.
8. Need the most care of all livestock²

When we consider the above and the history of mankind, it is doubtful that God could have chosen a more apt comparison for the majority of His children. For the most part, we seem born to flock and to follow. And what this COVID scenario is designed to achieve is to break the flocking through fear, suspicion, isolation, and so forth, while the following of man-made rules and mandates is being flooded day after day through the MSM under the mask of loving (protecting) thy neighbor.

So what is the intended end game for all the sheep? The wolf's answer? What it has always been since Day One – domination and conversion of everything and everyone in to property; and for those who resist domination and conversion, the end game is destruction. This is the very path we are being “shepherded” down at dizzying speed.

This flocking and following is so inherent in our natures that it has been both used and abused. We seem universally predisposed to following something: royalty; stars of film / media / sports / politics / science;  of gurus / preachers / heroes / cults / etc. We get distracted. We forget that the destination for the sheep is beyond imagination.

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.³

Sometimes we forget that the Way is impossible for us, flawed sheep as we are, to navigate without following the Good Shepherd. We have become convinced we can't trust God's matchless design. We have become so afraid of our fellow sheep that some elders have declined to attend those seeking priesthood blessing, thus increasing their sense of isolation, abandonment, unworthiness, and fear of asking others. We look to flawed men and women — to the powerful, the wealthy, the famous for answers, solutions, healing. This is truly a day of testing whether we follow the Great Shepherd or whether we look to the myriad shepherds in sheep's clothing that we were warned would trouble the world in the last days.

Old Testament | Ezekiel 34:6–7, 11-12 ~ My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill: yea, my flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth, and none did search or seek after them.

[THE CHARACTERISTICS OF SHEEP VS. GOATS By Sheila Zahra
https://animals.mom.com/characteristics-sheep-vs-goats-5493.html 

Sheep are most comfortable with their flock, and they tend to run if approached or spooked. Goats are more independent, intelligent and tolerant of interaction in general. Sheep like to graze on grass, while goats prefer to graze on anything they can, including leaves, twigs and anything edible they can reach.]
New Testament | Matthew 26:31 ~ Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.
New Testament | Mark 6:34 ~ And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.
New Testament | John 10:1–16, 27 ~ VERILY, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them. Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. ... My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
New Testament | John 21:16-17 ~ He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
New Testament | Hebrews 13:20 ~ Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,
New Testament | 1 Peter 2:25 ~ For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
Book of Mormon | 1 Nephi 22:25 ~ And he gathereth his children from the four quarters of the earth; and he numbereth his sheep, and they know him; and there shall be one fold and one shepherd; and he shall feed his sheep, and in him they shall find pasture.
Book of Mormon | Mosiah 14:6-7 ~ All we, like sheep, have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquities of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb so he opened not his mouth.
Book of Mormon | Mosiah 26:20-21 ~ Thou art my servant; and I covenant with thee that thou shalt have eternal life; and thou shalt serve me and go forth in my name, and shalt gather together my sheep. And he that will hear my voice shall be my sheep; and him shall ye receive into the church, and him will I also receive.
Book of Mormon | Alma 5:39, 59-60 ~ And now if ye are not the sheep of the good shepherd, of what fold are ye? Behold, I say unto you, that the devil is your shepherd, and ye are of his fold; ... For what shepherd is there among you having many sheep doth not watch over them, that the wolves enter not and devour his flock? And behold, if a wolf enter his flock doth he not drive him out? Yea, and at the last, if he can, he will destroy him. And now I say unto you that the good shepherd doth call after you; and if you will hearken unto his voice he will bring you into his fold, and ye are his sheep; and he commandeth you that ye suffer no ravenous wolf to enter among you, that ye may not be destroyed.
Book of Mormon | Alma 25:12 ~ And he said unto the priests of Noah that their seed should cause many to be put to death, in the like manner as he was, and that they should be scattered abroad and slain, even as a sheep having no shepherd is driven and slain by wild beasts; and now behold, these words were verified, for they were driven by the Lamanites, and they were hunted, and they were smitten.
Book of Mormon | Helaman 15:13 ~ And this is according to the prophecy, that they shall again be brought to the true knowledge, which is the knowledge of their Redeemer, and their great and true shepherd, and be numbered among his sheep.
Book of Mormon | 3 Nephi 15:17, 21-24 ~ That other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. ... And verily I say unto you, that ye are they of whom I said: Other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. But behold, ye have both heard my voice, and seen me; and ye are my sheep, and ye are numbered among those whom the Father hath given me.
Book of Mormon | 3 Nephi 16:1-3 ~ AND verily, verily, I say unto you that I have other sheep, which are not of this land, neither of the land of Jerusalem, neither in any parts of that land round about whither I have been to minister. For they of whom I speak are they who have not as yet heard my voice; neither have I at any time manifested myself unto them. But I have received a commandment of the Father that I shall go unto them, and that they shall hear my voice, and shall be numbered among my sheep, that there may be one fold and one shepherd; therefore I go to show myself unto them.
Book of Mormon | 3 Nephi 18:31 ~ But if he repent not he shall not be numbered among my people, that he may not destroy my people, for behold I know my sheep, and they are numbered.

dedicated researchers / activists

exploring solutions to the

surveillance- / centralized- / control-based

“Great Reset” plan of the World Economic Forum

Time: every day 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM Central Time

Whom do we believe?

● the powers pursuing and protecting power / gain / glory?

● whistle-blowers and truth-tellers who risk everything?

 

Note: We may not agree with many ideas and solutions offered, but we may encounter some kindred spirits and vital information for going forward, for greater awakening, and for preparing for things to come. As always we use discernment. My one advance cautionary note is about crypto-currencies.* I am admittedly far-short of understanding them, but my understanding of the powers and all the hidden back-doors and deceptions of the past century causes me to suspect that crypto conceals more than transactions.

The “New Normal” Samaritan

(formerly known as The Good Samaritan¹)

In continuity with Luciferian inversion of the Good, we are seeing an escalation of “You shall not choose of your own free will” because “You must love (care about) your neighbour in the manner WE, the labcoats, mandate.” This is the rationale for the New Normal. It is ALL (allegedly) about “keeping you safe and keeping me safe” using “love your neighbour” to sanction a plethora of lies² founded in corrupted bio-science and power- / gain-theology. (I have dealt elsewhere, several times, with corrupted science and power obsession, so this post considers The New Normal Samaritan.)

The inversion of The Good Samaritan began with mandated isolation of the elderly. No seniors' facility visits. No hospital visits. No home visits by contagious(?) children / grandchildren / other relatives. We pretended roadside waving, window kisses, and virtual visiting would get us through to a cure, but the New Normal is meant to be normalized into fear, isolation, and blind obedience under cover of caring (and COVID). Do we not see the twist? the fraud?

And where is all this “caring” and COVID headed? It is headed into mandatory vaccination, as we all know from the headlines, but there is much more. The officials and headlines also tell us clearly that without proof of frequent vaccination upgrades, our access to travel, assembly, necessities, etc. will be severely restricted.³ So what does this have to do with The Good Samaritan? It has to do with whether those who comply with vaccination and other mandates will be allowed (or even want) to help those who resist or refuse and who, thus, suffer increasing lockout and lockdown. How many are already thinking: "They will deserve whatever befalls them"?

Already people are being programmed into hostility for those who do not wear masks, who question vaccination, or reject other mandates and duplicitous narratives. We are being psy-oped (lied) into a great divide and without a knowledge of human nature and power abuse,⁴ we are headed straight for a déjà vu crusade against the New Heretics. Remember the Middle Ages?

We therefore SUBJECT TO A CURSE, both themselves [those deemed Christian heretics] and their defenders and harborers, and, under a curse, we prohibit all persons from admitting them into their houses, or receiving them upon their lands, or cherishing them, or exercising any trade with them. But if they die in their sin, let them not receive Christian burial, under pretence of any privilege granted by us, or any other pretext whatever; and let no offering be made for them."⁵

By the same edict, it is enjoined that strict inquiry be made after these heretics, and that after examination by the prelates, if any be found to err in a single point from the Catholic faith, they are, in case of persevering in their error, condemned to suffer death by the flames, and to be burned alive in public view, while all are for bidden, under pain of the imperial indignation, to intercede in their behalf. The Emperor also by these decrees, so pleasing to the popes, declares infamous, and puts under the ban of the empire all who shall in any way receive, defend, or favor these heretics.*⁶

… they [non-Catholic Christians] were condemned as incorrigible heretics, and delivered to the civil magistrates to be punished. The King, at the instigation of the clergy, commanded them to be branded with a red-hot iron on the forehead; to be whipped through the streets of Oxford; and, having their clothes cut short by the girdles, to be turned into the open fields; all persons being forbidden to afford them either shelter or relief, under the severest penalties. This cruel sentence was executed in its utmost rigor; and taking place in the depth of winter, they all perished through cold and famine!"⁷

If we think the forbidding of aid to or trade with those deemed heretics to the New Normal is not possible in our sophisticated 21st Century, we are dead wrong. Just read The Lucifer Effect: Understanding How Good People Turn Evil.⁸ Remember Nazi Germany? Recognize how far we have come in less than one year with numerous official puppets of the powers setting up rat-lines for ordinary men, women, and children to report offending, non-complying friends, neighbors, family, strangers.⁹ Everyone is encouraged to become an informer / enforcer for the powers. 

Until we are ready to acknowledge that this is a plandemic years in the making;¹⁰ that invisible enemies are perfect tools to spawn fear and control; that “Give me liberty or give me death”¹¹ is a desperately needed universal cry, we will come to that day, far sooner than we can imagine, when this Biblical mandate will ring again: “Choose ye this day”¹² — faith or fear? God or Babylon?

Afraid of Food?

(What are the limits of shock and mockery?) 

Now that we have become terrified of mingling with family, friends, neighbours, colleagues, strangers, yea, every human of whatever size or shape (including ourselves and confused grandchildren), the scare-mongering MSM is floating contagion via food, especially via the abhorrent consumption of MEAT; and not just from handling or eating meat, but from the animals themselves (and thus, by conflation, those potentially mega-contagious, rural folk).

Maybe even beloved pets are dangerous! How soon till the powers mandate pet masks? pet testing? pet-distancing? pet quarantine? And now that free-range chickens have been banned from the risk of outdoor roaming into the safety of coops and chicken crowds (while others have been killed by the millions), what's to stop the powers from mandating petracide? That would surely up-the-ante of stress and disabling grief.

Alleged contagious animals are the perfect excuse to slaughter millions of them to further the planned famine, which also helps in bringing people, society, and civilization to the breaking point; which in turn helps in furthering the Great Upset, so the Great Reset can proceed with maximum efficiency. You don't believe it?!

Do we not know this is a Utopian roll-out? an engineered nightmare in the making? a last-gasp manipulation and mockery of creation? 2020 is such a blatant repeat of the setup for the 1789-1790s French Revolution, it is staggering.¹

Do we have any limits to the amount of shockery and mockery we are prepared to absorb and dispense? Thus far it seems not. If we could only see / hear the knee-slapping, head-banging guffawing that reverberates through the inner sanctums of the insiders with each cruel “mandate,” “lying wonder” or psy-op, we would — would we not??? — cease our belief and cooperation. What we are being mandated to do is not based in science, but in the corruption, profiteering, and mockery of science,² and in the science and history of manipulation and control.

Delight in mockery of the Good is as old as Satan himself. From the pre-existence to this very plandemic, mockery has been the favored weapon opposing God and the Good.³ But for some reason, we just can't seem to get it — to see it.

▪ Why do we think mask boxes have a COVID disclaimer?
▪ Why do political and CMO elites flip-flop? consistently offend common sense and reason? consistently contradict themselves and each other? frequently look shell-shocked as they “passionately” parrot the party-line? (Are they being publicly mocked by their masters?)
▪ Why are redeeming, health-promoting traditions of people sanctioned or limited, while the orchestrated options are couch & web serfing surfing, viral and virtual living, soda & circus consumption, hypocrisy & pretense?
▪ Why the clamor, within hours of each new crime “event,” for an urgent exemption from Constitutional restraint, dismantling rights and freedoms clause by clause?
▪ Why _________?
▪ Why _________?
▪ Why _________?

When are we going to call a halt to the shock and mockery? When are we going to stop living in fear and blind belief in the “experts”? When are we going to admit that this COVID 19-84 umbrella arches over every aspect of life scheduled for the Great Reset?⁴ When are we going to remember that one can buy anything in this world with money, including souls of men⁵ and scientific integrity?

What is our personal liability if we continue to sanction this forced and enforced “New Normal”?⁶ What will we say to the Judge when He asks:

1. Did you believe My warning⁷ about “evils and designs which do and will exist in the hearts of conspiring men in the last days”?
2. Did you ignore the crowd of witnesses about murderous combinations seeking power and gain until their conspiracies were able to get above you?⁸
3. Did you ever awaken (as I commanded) to a sense of your awful situation?⁹

REVIEW the horror at footnote 4.

Wise Men? Foolish Men?

Ever since reading Frederick Buechner's December 24th anthology entry titled “The Power of the Babe,”¹ I have been thinking about wise men and power. Buechner began with this scripture:

Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.”
MATTHEW 2: 1– 2

And then Buechner observes:

The foolishness of the wise is perhaps nowhere better illustrated than by the way the three Magi went to Herod the Great, king of the Jews, to find out the whereabouts of the holy child who had just been born king of the Jews to supplant him. It did not even strike them as suspicious when Herod asked them to be sure to let him know when they found him so he could hurry on down to pay his respects.

So what was it that made these wise men so foolish that it took a dream from God² to prevent their returning to report to Herod? Were they that obtuse about the nature of power — its perennial, obsessive pursuit, protection, and abuse?

Perhaps this is one possible answer. As wise men – as Magi – they were, in all likelihood, frequent associates and colleagues of the powers and authorities of their day. As friends and associates of those wielding power, they simply could not see what they did not want to see – a classic case of confirmation bias³ in First Century A.D. (or perhaps it was Last Century B.C.).

Should this not put us on notice that striving for or feeling privileged affinity to world powers and power systems can blind us to motives and agendas? that prestigious connections / associations cloud our judgment? skew our perceptions of reality?

Has this not been repeated time and again in history and current events?⁴ The power elites fraternize with other power elites and like unto King Solomon, the wise become foolish because they will not see; they will not know what they know; they forget these repeating, historical truths that:

"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men..."⁵ [which] “conveys the opinion [nay, the 99% historical verity?] that, as a person's power increases, their moral sense diminishes.”⁶

A rise or fall in hierarchical position [pecking order position] can radically rearrange the way we see the world.⁷

But as humans (especially leaders), it seems we are continually striving to rise in the eyes of the world, if not by our own efforts, then by privileged connection with those higher, till, as friends of the powers, we no longer see things as they really are; no longer see ourselves as we really are; no longer are able to speak with the bluntness of Jesus or his OT prophets or NT apostles about world powers and systems.⁸ Thus we fall under the spell of self-justification; fall in with the spirit of power⁹ as we lose connection to the “power of the Spirit.”

How dangerous it is to become popular; to seek for or have thousands or millions “like” us or our views, works, achievements. How dangerous it is to not recognize how this knowledge of human nature has been used (by the adversary and his technocrats) to set us up for our own individual temptation to seek after and to partake of the fruit of popularity; of high-ranking / privileged association.

What was the example of the One we have covenanted to always remember?  

Verily, verily, I say unto you, ye must watch and pray always, lest ye be tempted by the devil, and ye be led away captive by him. And as I have prayed among you even so shall ye pray in my church, among my people who do repent and are baptized in my name. Behold I am the light; I have set an example for you. … ye must watch and pray always lest ye enter into temptation; for Satan desireth to have you, that he may sift you as wheat.¹⁰

New Testament | Matthew 23:33 ~ Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
New Testament | Acts 23:3–5 ~ Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law? And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God's high priest? Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people. (Bold emphasis added above.)
