Mt 24:37 As it was in the days of Noah, etc.
Mt 24:37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. Mt 24:38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark;
39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.
1Pe 3:17 It is better, if it is God’s will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.
18 For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit,
19 through whom also he went and preached to the spirits in prison
20 who disobeyed long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. In it only a few people, eight in all, were saved through water,
21 and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also– not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a good conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
22 who has gone into heaven and is at God’s right hand– with angels, authorities and powers in submission to him.
(NIV)
JUDGMENT HAS COME
Words of impending judgment fill the pages of scripture. History is filled with the reality of God bringing judgment upon the earth. Yet we live in such a so-called sophisticated society that we believe we’re far beyond such “ancient superstitions.”
Even many Bible believers have jettisoned all thoughts of God bringing judgment. Certainly, there is little to no preaching of judgment with our modern sensibilities.
If God is allowed a mention in the public square, he must be the God of soft-spoken love, of thinking well of all, of only smiles and compliments toward human beings. Any suggestion of the historically held Christian belief that he is a God of judgment is vastly scorned. Any voice that speaks a word of judgment is seen as intolerant, backwoods, worthy only of absolute rejection, the next victim of a cancel culture.
Our churches are full of language about this God. He apparently exists as a cosmic self-help guru, enabling us to fulfill our ambitions, desires and shoot-for-the-stars destiny.
None of this changes reality. Truth is not determined by popular opinion or political correctness. We in America are under the judgment of God.
An uncontrollable virus, killing hundreds of thousands, might suggest that God is up to something in some other season, trying to get our attention and wanting to wake us from our sins, societal sickness and gross perversions.
Yet, there is much more than the virus. Our political upheaval is unmatched since the Civil War. Riots in the streets and the storming of our nation’s capitol building halted government proceedings and ran out our national leaders. Some of those leaders close prayers with words like “amen and a-women,” do away with the God-given clarity of gender and lead a culture of devastating confusion over sexuality, calling perversion good and good perverted.
We are sick; we are leaderless; we are killing babies by the millions; we hate, steal and kill by the thousands as murder rates in our cities skyrocket.
All of these are clear signs of a profoundly sin-sick society.
Yet, we still hold onto a sense of self-rightness and self-purity, saying, “Surely God would not criticize, condemn or judge such a nation as ours.” But no nation under judgment has ever thought it deserved it or even thought it possible to come under judgment. Few even believe there remains, if there ever was, such a thing as the judgment of God.
We have forgotten the Flood, scorned Biblical warnings, disbelieved the plagues of Egypt. Yet the truth about God’s judgment, proven over and over, is that it often gets worse until it is addressed. So until we see our present reality as a merciful wakeup call from God and repent, we’ll drown in ever-rising waters as time goes on.
Do we not see this? Are we so blind? Have our hearts become so calloused, our ears so deaf? If there are Biblical and historical accounts of actual judgments of God on nations, including America, and if they proceed as they have in the past, then what we’re seeing now is only the birth pangs of what’s yet to come.
Violence will grow worse and worse. Anarchy will be more destructive than ever. The rising level of fear in American homes, especially those in major cities, will cause a growing mass exodus. But there will be nowhere to go. Stores will be closed because of government shutdowns due to the coronavirus and from mass looting, rioting and burning of buildings.
The worst judgment of all is when God gives up on a people. He judges not by force but by absence. This is where we are headed unless we have a national spiritual awakening, a recognition of our waywardness, a heartfelt mourning over our wickedness.
Right now, our situation seems bleak, not only because of the first fruits of this present crisis but because of a deep, unrelenting commitment to wickedness. Far worse, those leading the way in wickedness don’t even know that what they’re doing is absolutely opposed to God. Nor do they seem to care. They have become seared of conscience, given over to sin. That is the worst judgment of all because it is the most hopeless.
Rarely in history has such a deepened lack of contrition, with no recognition of calling evil good and good evil, been reversed. More often, as this tragic form of judgment takes place, culture exists in despair. Its lostness and slow death go unrecognized. Such a nation doesn’t disappear; it just exists in Godless, lifeless, loveless self-despair.
At one point in our history, the church could have held out in hope for an awakening and a return to God. This may no longer be true. The church in America is anemic, compromised and confused, trying to appeal to a sin-sick culture by appeasing it. We easily compromise our truth to fit in with the culture. Much of the church is now changing its view on homosexuality. The newly elected senator from Georgia who calls himself a pastor is fighting for greater abortion rights. In that same state, a conservative pastor recently suggested we untether ourselves from the Old Testament. He’s referring to two-thirds of the Word of God; no wonder God is bringing judgment and may soon leave us to our own devices, which is the final ruin of any culture.
If in the midst of this wicked generation you have any godly conscience left, I plead with you to ask him to soften your heart to his truth, to repent and turn to him. He is willing to heal and restore you.
If you are part of a compromised church, I pray that God will take hold of your heart and that you will return to the faithful embrace of scripture rather than compromising with the culture you’ve been immersed in.
If you want to see America saved from ultimate judgment and a withdrawing of God from us, it is time to engage in desperate yet hopeful prayer. Perhaps we may yet turn and find the deep, Christ-centered hope that remains for us.

PAST AND PRESENT: Turning Away from God’s path
Regarding the killing of unborn babies, the entire Old Testament tells about how Israel started worshiping other gods and sacrificing their kids, (so they could get ahead – have more choices), and then God really allowed them to be punished.
He started out allowing droughts, floods, hail, ice storms, earthquakes, really bad tornadoes, hurricanes and things now called “Mother Nature”. When no one would listen, He would allow the Israelites be captured by other nations.
This could very well be what is happening to the United States right now. The word “captured”, could mean being in debt to other nations too. America is deeply in debt to China in the billions of dollars. China and other nations are purchasing American land. and businesses, as well as Canadian and speculate of moving entire communities here. If God says, “OK, here is the path – stay on it and you will be safe. I can protect you if you stay on this path”, and if America goes off that path, who is to blame? (See “Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan – now considered a Classic).
Let the reader please understand the truth of the downfall of America and the entire World (which seems to follow America quite willingly) occurs only by permission of the Three-In-One God. He permits Satan to work through evil men but limits their destruction.
The reader may consider areas of thought not usually even imaginable such as Illuminati: https://images.search.yahoo.com/yhs/search;_ylt=A0LEVjrov7lUBLMAEPglnIlQ;_ylu=X3oDMTBsa3ZzMnBvBHNlYwNzYwRjb2xvA2JmMQR2dGlkAw–?_adv_prop=image&fr=yhs-mozilla-001&va=Illuminati&hspart=mozilla&hsimp=yhs-001
In some churches for a time, the leader would say “God is good”. And the people would reply “All the time”. The leader would say “All the time” and the people would respond “God is good”.
We cannot blame God for disaster when we as His people have gone off the path He has given us to walk. He does not send the severe weather, and other things mentioned above. These disastrous things are off the path He gave us. Again, there is always a war between evil and good. As this nation has turned away from God, so has Christian/Jewish persecution increased:
This site reveals attacks by Muslims on Christians by the country, and separates the attacks by the month and year: http://www.persecution.org/2014/12/09/house-church-leader-arrested-in-shiraz-iran-his-fate-is-unknown/
The End Times Are Written of in Scripture in Various Ways
As an example: In general, most churches of today meet the requirements Paul wrote to Timothy about, in his second letter: 2Ti 3:2 “People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good,4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God– 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them”.
This means a church may look good on the outside, having a form of godliness but there is no love. See 1st Cor. 13. Without love for others, it is pretty much useless to “do church”. Soup kitchens, and nursing homes seem to be a better place to invest time. However, with considerable time investment, it is possible to find a place that truly meets the definition of a “true” church. This would include some Messianic Jewish places of worship. Home churches are making a tremendous comeback and with the onset of “Christian” persecution, especially by Islam and the enemedia (MSM) will continue to do so. http://www.persecution.org/2013/09/27/islamist-war-on-christians/
Although the USA has already lost its number one status, because Almighty God wishes, the kingdom of God will never decline. http://factsnotfantasy.blogspot.com/2014/12/were-number-two.html
God can awaken this nation again even as He did during the First and Second Great Awakenings! Finally, there are some hopeful signs now in the evangelical church as many united prayer movements are being launched and there is a resurgence in purposeful unity that, hopefully, will not be too little, too late to save our nation from further judgment and disorientation.
(More to Come)
We turned our back on God–Now God’s turning His back on us!!
America was founded by Jews and Christians, often referred to as “Judaic/Christian” in working together.. The Three-In-One God’s book is called the Holy Bible and has what is called the Old Testament by Christians and Messianic Jews or the Tanakh by Orthodox Jews. A Messianic Jew is a Jew who understand Jesus (English), Y’shua (Hebrew) came first as the final blood sacrifice and will come again as a Lion. Many Messianic Jews are also Rabbi’s, which simply means “teacher”.
Israel and America are the only two nations on earth to ever be dedicated to God.
Israel is referred to by God as a “light to the nations” in Isaiah 49:6, which seems to include being an example. if it fell short as a nation in following the laws of a Holy God. The entire world looks to America as an example too.
Israel turned away from God. God send Prophets and messengers to them in an attempt to restore them to walking with Him as He wished. They did not, and after multiple attempts and much mercy, God had to discipline them, by using terrorists. After the attack which showed God had withdrawn his protection the hierarchy and rulers of Israel were quoted by Isaiah in chapter 9:10 and 911: Isa 9:10 “The bricks have fallen down, but we will rebuild with dressed stone; the fig trees have been felled, but we will replace them with cedars.” See verses before and after. Isa. 9:10. These are words of defiance, pride and arrogance. This was warning number one to Israel, who as a nation, had turned away from God.
These exact words were spoken by ignorant politicians after 911 in America:
Isa 9:10 was quoted on America’s 911 anniversary by John Edwards.
Isa. 9:10 was quoted (unknowingly) by Barrack Hussein Obama just after his election – He said “We will rebuild. We will recover. We will be stronger than before”.
These words – “We will rebuild” were spoken by the mayor of New York, the state’s senior Senator, the Governor, the state’s junior Senator.
Note: The consecration of America took place by George Washington at St. Paul’s cathedral a few feet from the World Trade Center, (not Washington, D.C.). It was not damaged during 911,- called “a miracle”, and protected by a sycamore tree. It was replaced by a stronger “erez ” tree and called the “Tree of Hope” but it withered away. It was replaced, but it withered away. A hedge of “erez” was erected, but it too is slowly withering away starting with the middle and moving outward in both directions.
The foundation of the Washington monument is now cracked severely due to an earthquake.
2008: Seven years after 911 (seven being the number of completion/perfection in Adonai/Elohim’s eyes), the financial crash involved God’s number in several ways: Seven years post 911, 7% decline. 777 re. stock market decline – this occurrence was also a Harbinger. Satan has been allowed to work because America turned away from the God of its fathers. Keep in mind Barack Obama the Muslim, was also elected seven years post 911.
The Harbinger by Rabbi Jonathan Cahn – published in 2012 covers much of the above. It has been followed by Harbinger II, “The Return”, copyright 2020. The Harbinger II mentions the 911 attack also included the last plane which came against the Pentagon with a plane having the number 77. The first plane came against the towers with the flight number 11. Rabbi Cahn examines the ratio in regard to the numbers as linked to the attack by the enemy. 7 as in 7 days of creation, as in the 7 pointed lampstand in the Tent of Meeting of the Israelites having left the slavery of Egypt, with 7 apparently being the number of completion in the eyes of the Father God.
Madeline Crabb way back in 2014 at http://www.renewamerica.com/columns/crabb/140129 writes as follows: “Dear Christian, look around you. If you haven’t seriously assessed the condition of our society in awhile, now is the time to do so. This month marks the 41st anniversary of Roe v Wade that granted women the “right” to abortion. Since that terrible Supreme Court decision, over 55 million babies have been murdered by their mothers and complicit doctors. Television, for the most part, is nothing but a cesspool of legalized pornography and foul language that teaches all forms of immorality, and mocks traditional family values and Christianity. And while homosexuals number a very small minority in America, their lewd behavior and lifestyles are shoved in our faces every which way – ad nauseam.
Again, salt and light have lost their effectiveness, and now darkness reigns. We who are called by the name of Jesus are responsible. We have failed to do our part either from complacency, or compromise with the world. Others have become afraid to boldly stand for their views – and their God. Regardless of our reasons, if we don’t speak truth about our God and His Word to a dark, lost world, we deny Him. Accordingly, Jesus said that if we deny Him before men, He will deny us before the Father. (Matt. 10: 33) Therein is the problem.
Dear fellow Americans, individually and collectively as a nation, we have turned our backs on God. Consequently, He is turning His back on us and increasingly removing His hand of protection and blessing. We have broken His commandments and gone our own way. We have preferred darkness over light. And now we are reaping what we have sown.
What hope do we have? Can our course be reversed? Only God knows the answers. Let’s pray we haven’t gone too far. And may all Christians who read these words fall upon their knees in repentance for our personal sins, and those of our nation.

Secularists Urge Biden to Unravel Trump’s Religious Freedom Protections
WASHINGTON – Many Americans celebrate President Trump as the most significant champion for religious freedom in a lifetime. His actions gave Christians a sense of security, but now secularists, humanists, and others feel empowered to begin unraveling Trump-era protections.
“It all goes back to the May 2017 executive order by President Trump,” Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, tells CBN News.
That day in the Rose Garden, the president used his executive pen to ensure Christians and other people of faith don’t have to check their beliefs when entering the halls of government and prevented the federal government from going after pastors who speak about political issues from a moral perspective.
“We will not allow people of faith to be targeted, bullied, or silenced anymore,” the President said that day.

Now that order tops a long list of Trump administration actions that Secular Democrats of America want President-elect Joe Biden to erase.
Represented by the Congressional Freethought Caucus, the group paints Christians as extremists and urges the incoming administration to marginalize people of faith – relegating them to the back pew of the public square.
Part of their to-do list?
Ensure Humanist and Nontheist chaplains serve in each branch of the military.
Refrain from using the national motto “In God We Trust.”
And reframe patriotism by avoiding phrases like “God and country.”
“In order for them to advance this new Democratic Party agenda which is leftist, which is Marxist at its core, they have to eliminate a vibrant, Christian orthodox faith in America – it stands in their way,” Perkins said.
Secular Democrats will also push the incoming administration to amend the Religious Freedom Restoration Act beginning with the Do No Harm Act introduced by Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) last year.
“That act would gut the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. It would make it inapplicable to cases that involve sexual orientation and gender identity as well as abortion,” Emilie Kao, director of the DeVos Center for Religion and Civil Society at The Heritage Foundation, tells CBN News.
These attempts to marginalize believers come as the media and even elected officials increasingly push the narrative that people of faith are unfit.
“Unfortunately we see that senators are increasingly treating religious beliefs with great suspicion and even hostility,” Kao said.
Demonstrated, she says, in the 2017 appeals court hearings of now-Justice Amy Coney Barrett, when some senators treated her Catholic faith as a disqualifying characteristic.
“The dogma lives loudly within you and that’s of concern,” Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) said during that hearing.
In Barrett’s Supreme Court hearings this year, Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE) pushed back against that statement.
“Because religious liberty is the fundamental 101 rule in American life, we don’t have religious tests. This committee isn’t in the business of deciding whether the dogma lives too loudly within someone,” he said.
“Nothing could be more dangerous for the future of America than to separate America from a vibrant, God-fearing faith of its people that will ensure the tranquility and peace, and justice America so desperately needs,” Perkins noted.
He also suggests religious conservatives take a page from the other side’s playbook. That means using every legal option available to make efforts to roll back religious freedom as slow and painful as possible.

The Meaningless Meaning of ‘COVID Cases’
https://canadafreepress.com/article/the-meaningless-meaning-of-covid-cases
COVID-19 here and COVID-19 there.
Each day, we’re bombarded (I’d say ad nauseam) with reports and news of more COVID-19 “cases,” whatever that term means.
You’d think that this term would be well defined, here, there and everywhere. I wish you luck in finding a standard, generally accepted definition of it. If you succeed, please let me know.
But, don’t despair, there’s a cure for it. Big Pharma is “on the case.”
- First, let’s see how Wikipedia defines it: Searching Wikipedia for the definition of “case,” at (accessed on Dec. 29, 2020, 6:21 pm EST) in this context. I could not find any reference to COVID-19, or any other medical meaning of the term “case” – none at all!
- The CDC (U.S. Centers for Decease Control and Prevention); again just searching for a definition of the term “case” provides only such for Listeriosis: No mention of COVID-19—none at all.
- Undeterred, further checking found a CDC definition, dating back to April, 2020, answering my quest. There, it states, under the Headlines (also accessed on Dec. 29, 2020) as follows :
- ”Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), 2020 Interim Case Definition, Approved April 5, 2020”:
Most interesting, at least in my mind is that “evidence of pneumonia”—by this definition alone—now qualifies as a clinical evidence of COVID-19 “infection.”
Clearly, several decades ago now, I must already have had contracted “COVID-19” already. At that time I felt pretty lousy and went to see our GP physician whose diagnosis of my condition was “pneumonia.” His advice then was: “Rest up and drink lots of fluids and in a few days you’ll be fine again.”
Indeed, having plenty of prescribed fluids on hand and following the good doctorcs advice, after a few days of rest I was eager and ready to go back to work.
And I had just thought of it then as a “case” of the common seasonal flu!
That truly begs the question:
What differentiates the “common flu” from “COVID-19?”
As far as I can reckon, the answer to that question is hard to come by.
Both the “flu” and COVID-19,” diagnosed via the unspecific “PCR” (polymerase-chain-reaction test), appear to test for similar or, perhaps even identical, biological fragments in one’s body.
The Wrong Pandemic
What’s of interesting significance in that regard is also a recent report in the journal Nature that states, inter alia,
“In May [2020], at the tail end of the first wave of COVID-19 deaths in many nations, and when some of the strictest lockdowns were in place, health workers noted an abrupt and early halt to the 2019–20 flu season in the Northern Hemisphere.”
Of course, such trivia is not welcome by the purveyors of the many millions of vaccine doses against this novel covidian type of the coronavirus variety. Nor is it welcome by progress-minded folks at the World Health Organization and their prime disciples (Drs. Tedros, Fauci, Tam, etc.), nor by the movers and shakers (attendance by invitation only) at the World Economic Forum, nor the pharmaceutical giants which may reap great profits from their vaccine products, nor from government entities that may have the best in mind but are, nevertheless, just turning into fear-mongering ping-pong balls of the afore-mentioned.
For another opinion along this line of thought, A. Firstenberg summarized that in a recent post with the title “The Wrong Pandemic.”
With that in mind, please accept my Best Wishes for You and Yours for 2021
What Will ‘Breaking Biden’ Bring?
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2020/12/what_will_breaking_biden_bring.html
Hank could have been speaking to America’s Republican, conservative, and libertarian establishment instead of Walter White. So many seem unconcerned—even gleeful—at the theft of the presidential election, even though it means handing over power to people who appear to have little regard—but a fair amount of contempt—for the nation, its laws, its heritage, its uniqueness. They have a false sense of security that “it” can’t happen here. As Alexander Solzhenitsyn wrote in the Gulag Archipelago:
There always is this fallacious belief it would not be the same here; here such things are impossible … Alas, all the evil of the twentieth century is possible everywhere on earth.
Even though our national government was conceived in brilliance, it has not been properly defended, and over time, minor flaws have been increasingly exploited and magnified. The process is now so far advanced that we may be looking down the barrel of an existential gun. If Joe Biden is sworn in as president, Jacobins will have grasped control of our government. And, as is the case with most Jacobin regimes, their hold on us will not be a light one. They speak of “transforming” and “restructuring”; these are fearful words in the mouths of leftists. And if they were open to reason, they would not be Jacobins.
We are told that winning the Georgia Senate elections will hold the line against this leftist predation, and of course we must act on that assumption and vote for the Republicans. But it is not certain that even victory will provide much consolation. The Republican majority will be slim, and few Republican senators qualify as serious “freedom fighters.” Many of them, their pockets lined with corporate money, are drooling at the prospect of reopening our borders and providing a path to citizenship for future Democrat voters. And look at how quickly the current Republican-majority Senate—with Trump assumed to be out of the way—returned to pork barrel mode after the November election.
Furthermore, holding the line is no longer enough; we need to push back against the outrages that have already been foisted on us, especially the corruption of our electoral process and security agencies. Unless voter fraud and Deep State manipulation are stopped, the presidential electoral theft of 2020 will be the model for Senate seats in 2022. With that, the Jacobins will gain total control.
Too many of our leaders still think that the bad guy holding the gun can be reasoned with. The “Happy Warrior” approach of Ronald Reagan and Rush Limbaugh, in which it was assumed that we will prevail as long as we remain positive and of good character, was a thing of beauty. Sadly, that approach is insufficient in the face of the left’s grim-faced, win-at-all-costs determination. If it were enough, we would have already righted the ship of state. Instead, we are hanging by a finger-hold before falling into the abyss of Jacobin transformation. The current state of affairs shows what we can expect more of in the future:
- The coronavirus pandemic has been used to bankrupt small businesses, undermine traditions, disrupt education, corrupt the electoral process, and initiate dependence on government handouts by segments of the population that once prided themselves on their independence. We should anticipate other such “national emergencies” to follow.
- The rule of law is becoming a mockery; from ignored immigration laws to sanctuary cities to police standing down during riots to giving high ranking Democrats and Deep State operatives a “pass” for high crimes. How far will the anarchy advance? It may be that order will only be restored when we are so set upon we willingly give up our civil liberties to a heavy-handed authority.
- The growing attack against “whiteness” and elevation of various minorities to preferred status is no minor matter. Only fifty years separated Jim Crow laws and, for example, school policies that mandate disciplinary punishments based on race. What logically follows when one demographic group is officially demonized and others are told that all of their failures are because of the existence of the first group?
- The last point is especially worrisome since we may be partnering with a foreign power that is conducting various campaigns of repression and genocide: against Tibetans, against Uighurs, against non-approved Christians, and against the Falun Gong. The Chinese intrusion into our economy, academia, and government is beyond alarming. That Joe Biden—whose personal and family connections to China should disqualify him for even a minimal security clearance—will be the nominal head of our government is a travesty.
- Corporatist Jacobins have captured the public dialogue, using media and internet communications to promote propaganda and limit alternate views. The standard media outlets—newspapers, radio, and television—have long been conjoined with the political left (with a few exceptions). The internet initially permitted the free exchange of ideas and enabled dissenters to spread their messages and organize. Now that the Big Tech’s friends are running the country, free exchange will likely be being choked off and public discussion reduced to a choice between “left” and “lefter.”
- Most worrisome of all is the integrity of our elections. Process is irrelevant when cheating is openly permitted, and our voting birthright has been steadily eroded by immigration, and we just witnessed a remarkably audacious theft of a presidential election on a grand scale—with Republican complicity. Surely a political party that just won by employing massive voter fraud cannot be expected to conduct future elections honestly. After the November election, who is so naïve as to believe that Democrats are honest agents in our political arena?
All of these negative trends and many more have advanced to a troubling degree in the last few decades; with a Biden administration, they will advance much further. Even without China’s involvement, our future could resemble Venezuela’s, where a popularly elected leftist government used fraud and intimidation to fabricate a permanent majority and has reduced that country to nightmare status.
Much of America’s liberty-oriented intelligentsia keep talking as if the loss of the election is just a temporary setback, that it’s still 2010 and the Senate can play “rope-a-dope” until we win the next time. They should instead be sounding the alarm that, without serious action, we could be headed for vassal state status to a hegemonic, genocidal, totalitarian power. Or spiraling down into Third World conditions, with a privileged elite and their minions reducing the majority to beggary.
These members of the right-leaning establishment are all so smart, and yet they’re so stupid, leading us to the point at which the nation stares down the barrel of a gun held by those who hate us. Just like poor Hank Schrader.
Top pandemic scientist: Lockdowns mirror Chinese plan
Top pandemic scientist: Lockdowns mirror Chinese Communist plan to strip your freedom
‘People’s sense of what is possible in terms of control changed’
A top British epidemiologist who demanded lockdowns for the people, then was caught breaking his own social-distancing rules to meet his married-with-children lover, now has admitted that those procedures have altered what people will tolerate from officials.
It is Neil Ferguson of Imperial College London who resigned earlier this year from a Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies when he was caught ignoring social distancing requirements.
Now, in a new interview, he said, “I think people’s sense of what is possible in terms of control changed quite dramatically between January and March.”
It was during a holiday interview with the National Pulse that Ferguson admitted the orders emulated the Communist Chinese model to strip civil liberties from people.
He’s credited with convincing the British government that lockdowns should be adopted, and admitted they “were meant to emulate those carried out by the Chinese Communist Party – modeled to strip civil liberties and exert authoritarian control…”
It was during an interview with the Times that he said “there is an enormous cost associated with” lockdowns, especially the loss of civil liberties.
But he said the CCP’s success changed “people’s sense of what is possible in terms of control.”
“If China had not done it the year would have been very different,” he said.
But he said the learning curve was sharp.
“It’s a communist one-party state, we said. We couldn’t get away with it in Europe, we thought. And then Italy did it. And we realized we could,” he said.
The report explained he initially was convinced it was a good policy because of the Chinese statistics regarding cases.
“Leaked documents reveal and even establishment media reports now concede that data emanating from the Chinese Communist Party at the onset of the pandemic – the impetus behind Ferguson championing lockdowns – was faulty,” the report explained.
As WND reported, Ferguson earlier resigned from SAGE after being caught breaking his own rules.
Neil Ferguson and Antonia Staats
“I accept I made an error of judgment and took the wrong course of action. I have therefore stepped back from my involvement in SAGE,” Ferguson told the Daily Telegraph.
“I acted in the belief that I was immune, having tested positive for coronavirus and completely isolated myself for almost two weeks after developing symptoms.
“I deeply regret any undermining of the clear messages around the continued need for social distancing to control this devastating epidemic.”
The Telegraph reported Ferguson’s paramour, Antonia Staats, traveled across London on at least two occasions, to spend time with the professor.

Socialist Citizen
Professor Emeritus Michael Walzer paraphrased Marx’s description of the socialist citizen (from The German Ideology): “Imagine the day in the life of a socialist citizen. He hunts in the morning, fishes in the afternoon, rears cattle in the evening, and plays the critic after dinner. Yet he is neither hunter, nor fisherman, nor shepherd, nor critic; tomorrow he may select another set of activities, just as he pleases.”
The envisioned socialist citizen in America will engage in “participatory democracy.” In theory, a participatory democracy’s citizens would have individual participation in political decisions and would make policies that would affect their lives directly and there would be no elected representatives making such decisions.
The socialist republic I grew up in had this type of participatory democracy in place. People in good standing with the Communist Party could make pre-determined suggestions during union meetings but the Party had the ultimate decision-making power. The rest of the population, who were not members of the Communist Party had no input in the decision-making process. The Party tried to keep membership selective to about ten percent of the population.
Dangerous philosophies can cause misery and death to millions around the globe
Was this socialist society a “self-governing community of equals?” No, citizens were only equal in their poverty, neediness, misery, and lack of human rights and freedoms. They could not do as they pleased and be what Marx called “social men and women, organizing and planning their own fulfillment in spontaneous activity.” They were serfs to the all-powerful state ruled by the Party.
Often academic and philosophical theories, even those well intentioned, diverge greatly from the reality of implementing such theories. Other times dangerous philosophies can cause misery and death to millions around the globe. Such was the power of Karl Marx’s ideas.
Self-government takes a lot of time, self-control, and is very demanding, if it is implemented correctly, socialists argue.
“The idea of citizenship on the left has always been overwhelming, suggesting a positive frenzy of activity and often involving the repression of all feelings except political ones.”
Jean Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778), a socialist, considered the father of the modern left-wing, had disparaged the worth of one’s private life. As the main philosopher of the French Revolution, he attacked private property and “declared the government’s goal should be to provide freedom, equality, and justice.” The idea that government can provide freedom is contemptible.
Socialism is coercive, forcing its citizens to “volunteer” for action and to labor on weekends for the public good
Citizens must be, above all, “dutiful,” placing “common good, the success of the movement, the safety of the community, above their own delight or well-being, always.”
Such “virtuous” citizens could be produced by rote indoctrination, transformation, or rigorous instruction/brainwashing.
Rousseau suggested the creation of the “virtuous” citizen through an “authoritarian family, a rigid sexual code, censorship of the arts, sumptuary laws, mutual surveillance, and the systematic indoctrination of children.”
Sumptuary laws refer to limiting private spending on food and personal items. I am familiar with this form of socialist oppression as the dear leader always rationed our food, issued rationing cards, punished food hoarding and black marketers, and passed laws that decreed how many calories per day people engaged in various professions could consume, and how much they could weigh.
Socialism is coercive, forcing its citizens to “volunteer” for action and to labor on weekends for the public good in addition to their jobs in factories or offices wherever they are deemed to further the political or economic socialist cause.
Students are exploited and forced to work with no pay for weeks during the crop harvest season and the crop planting season.
Citizens living in a socialist state are forced to donate time and energy to the socialist cause and the “participatory democracy”
Citizens living in a socialist state are forced to donate time and energy to the socialist cause and the “participatory democracy” in which they are just warm bodies for political optics, filling the auditoriums or the dear leader’s parade grounds. It is “popular participation” but not voluntary – it is demanded by the state and driven by the fear of punishment.
Walzer wrote that “participatory democracy means the sharing of power among the [socialist] activists. Socialism means the rule of the people with the most evenings to spare.” If citizens” do not govern themselves, they will, willy-nilly, be governed by their activist fellows.” Who were these activist fellows of the 20th century who ruled behind the Soviet ideology with an iron fist? They were “full-timers, militants, and professionals.” (p. 310)
The militants, in Walzer’s opinion, represent themselves. So, in a future socialist society, he recommends that participatory democracy must be paralleled by representative democracy.
Why was the rest of the socialist society I grew up in suppressed by the militant apparatchiks/activists on the Communist Party payroll? The main reason was that none of the citizens were armed (guns were the first things confiscated by activist goons, followed by private property) while the Communist Party engaged a huge and well-paid military, a large cadre of informers, a large police force, security police, and economic police. Nobody could make one wrong step without the state knowing about it. And they did it without the help of high tech.
Citizens created undergrounds to bypass the oppressive world of the Socialist/Communist Party ideology
People stayed away from the Communist Party membership ranks because they were not committed to the cause they saw daily as a big, blatant lie, they were morally beaten, economically beaten, starved, and deathly afraid.
Citizens created undergrounds to bypass the oppressive world of the Socialist/Communist Party ideology. They learned coping skills to avoid the socialist apparatchik tyranny in which freedom of speech and assembly were deadly.
Today, three decades since the “fall” of socialism/communism in Eastern Europe, citizens have regained their freedom of speech and assembly but sadly now nobody listens to them, especially politicians.
The press repeats the same globalist lies to their people thus colluding with corrupt politicians in their efforts to install a new world order, socialism on such a grander scale that Marx and Stalin would be shocked.

Being born again is as easy as A-B-C:
All you have to do is:
Admit that you are a sinner (made a lot of really bad mistakes) and need forgiveness from up on high.
Believe that Jesus Christ died for you on the cross and rose from the grave to bring you to God.
Confess, through prayer, that Jesus Christ is the only way to God, and commit to live for Him the rest of your life.
Here are some words from the Holy Bible (New International Version) that talk about our problem.
God loves you and wants a personal relationship with you. (John 3:16 NIV)
Our sin keeps us from having a personal relationship with God. (Romans 3:23 NIV)
Jesus is the only answer to this problem. He’s the only one who can bring us back to God. (1 Peter 3:18 NIV)
You must personally trust Jesus to forgive your sins and determine to obey Him for the rest of your life. (John 1:12 NIV)
Like This:
Jesus,
I know I have done wrong and need your forgiveness. I believe that you died on the cross just for me so I can come to your place in heaven when I die here And then you rose from the grave to give me eternal life too. I know You are the only way to Heaven, so help me to quit disobeying You, Your Dad The Father God, and Holy Spirit God and to start living for You. Forgive me, take over my life, and make yourself real to me. Amen.
P.S. I would like to be your friend too
