Let’s start with a disclaimer. I truly hate to have to write
a disclaimer. But, not enough of my countrymen seem to be able to connect the
dots when reading something pertaining to politics and have little reading
comprehension and interpretive skills. Mysteriously, even when such skills are
apparent, it’s as though these skills are not being applied or acted upon. And,
there seems to be little common “horse sense” among the American people.
Because of this, a disclaimer is not only warranted but is required and the
author is compelled to act accordingly.
The disclaimer: this article is not being written to demean
or belittle my countrymen. This American has been proudly saluting “Old Glory”
since at least 1955 and has seen most of those with whom he grew up do the
same. His patriotism is nonpareil and his heart pumps the proverbial “red,
white, and blue”. Far be it from such a one as I to be an enemy of or a burden
to my brethren, my kinsmen, or my neighbors.
It is being written out of astonishment that Americans are
being led around by the nose like little children who haven’t a clue as to what
or why the world in which they grew up in is dissolving around them. The truly
mind-bending dynamic here is that, not only is their “God Bless America” world
dissolving, it is dissolving with the full complicity and cooperation of at
least half of them (again, though without their understanding which is why this
article is being written).
It is being written as a gentle “wake up call”. Hopefully,
and with the Lord’s help, this article will encourage them to amend their lack
of awareness of the dynamics that are, with their help, destroying their
country and which may even kill them, their children, and, with all reasonable
expectation, their grandchildren.
Let’s begin with this simple but profound statement: because
of ignorance, people/cities/counties/states/countries go into captivity. Sound
familiar? Sure. It’s a paraphrase of Isaiah 5:13 in the Bible. But, let’s
cement in our minds just how serious this matter is. This is a spiritual law.
It is an “absolute” and it cannot be nullified or rescinded merely by ignoring
it, by gainsaying it, refuting it, or using some sort of religious apologetic
to circumvent it. Disbelief will not alter it and (political) obfuscations
cannot ultimately hide or determine its resolution. This simple principle is as
dangerous as any time bomb because it can also lead to destruction (see Hosea
4:6).
In an era when the entirety of knowledge of mankind is
literally available at one’s fingertips (via the Internet using a keyboard and
computer, of course), most Americans are politically ignorant beyond
imagination. To say that this is a shame is an understatement of incalculable
proportion.
Instead of learning about the forces that are Hell-bent on
controlling them, Americans (including and especially Christians) live a life
based almost solely on entertainment and distraction. It’s a “que sera, sera”
attitude that has no option but to lead to captivity. Let me repeat that
differently: there is no option other than captivity for those who insist on
allowing others to control their life (by the default of ignorance and
unwillingness to pay attention to their world). Call if “fatalism” , if you
please, because it most assuredly can be fatal (pun intended).
There’s more to this than the one lone dynamic of ignorance
that is destroying our nation. There are many reasons but let’s focus on a
major issue that confronts our ability to remain America. It can be summed up
in one word: “selfishness” and it involves man’s nature to take the path of
least resistance. It’s nothing less than man wanting to either keep or increase
his level of comfort if he can. There’s nothing inherently evil about this
dynamic. It’s merely another part of man’s make up that requires discipline
lest it rule over him rather than vice versa. It also requires wisdom and
understanding which, unfortunately, few seem to pursue because it requires them
to be propelled out of their comfort zone if they should do so.
Because lacking discipline, wisdom, and understanding is
optional (given the vast and free resources available to all), then there is no
real reason for our nation to be in the grip of an enemy called “Selfish”.
Again, it’s mindset that exists in all humans to whatever degree and it is
easily remedied with minimal effort.
But, for at least the previous half century, this selfish
phenomenon seems to have escaped the corral of common sense and has stampeded
through our society like a herd of wild buffalo spooked by a thunderstorm. It
threatens our economy and therefore it threatens our existence.
Let’s cut to the chase and speak very frankly about the
matter: very recently, we’ve seen our president attempt to straighten out trade
imbalances and to promote and protect the domestic welfare of our nation. He
can’t do that because of the nation’s populace who would rather purchase cheap
foreign made products than to employ their own countrymen to make these same
things.
Please pay attention: the Left, One World’ers/Globalists, and the complicit
Right-RINO’s, are therefore grinning from ear to ear because they know that
their engineered dynamic of wealth redistribution is working well. In other
words, if Trump attempt to bring jobs back home, there will be a price increase
on any goods manufactured or made in America. They know only too well that any
attempt to undo their carefully crafted economic wealth redistribution trap
(sending our money to other countries while they send back very little) will
not be accepted by ignorant selfish Americas who are hooked on artificially
cheap goods from abroad and who are addicted to the “quantify verses quality”
dynamic. So, no such “price increase” will be allowed.
The Left uses this point for a powerful propaganda campaign
using it to “prove” how “un-American” President Trump is and how he doesn’t
care for “we the people”. Because of America’s demand for ignorance and
boundless selfishness, there’s no way for Trump to win this argument.
Can you see how this insidious trap has been crafted over
the decades? Politicians do not control people with facts! They control them
through the dynamics of demagoguery. It is an evil thing but it works
exceedingly well. People will not give up their comfort zone especially when
other politicians will insure it. No matter what happens to aid our workers,
any attempt will be perceived to be an attack on the middle class.
President Trump is in a “damned if you don’t and damned if
you do” conundrum that even his own party will reinforce unless voters are
shoved out of their profound stupidity and political inertia and resolve to be
informed (noting that there is no stasis in warfare). He is attempting to bring
jobs back to America. However, this means that the increased cost of most
(though not all) homemade goods will force a new and higher paradigm against
the artificially low prices we’ve seen for the previous couple of decades.
Trump, himself, may not see this matter as irresolvable and
may not be in a quandary at this time. He may, rather, see it as just another
problem to solve and simply shove his agenda through thereby keeping his
promises. That would leave him with the hope that he will be re-elected so that
he can certify and continue this matter so that it cannot be overthrown by
whoever the next (“America Last”) president that comes along will certainly try
to do.
Can you see how we did this to ourselves? We walked into this
trap with open eyes but with an inordinately closed reasoning being distracted
by the temptations of greater acquisition and perceived wealth. We preferred to
save a few bucks rather than consider the consequences of having politicians
load gravy onto our plates (while garnering our praises for doing so) without
noting that a lot of gravy would end up making a mess on the floor.
Those consequences are now creating a dire economic crisis
of serious concern. Are we going to “bite the bullet” and correct this runaway
“mogwai” (from the movie “Gremlins”. i.e. cute at first but bears evil demonic
offspring) while there is (hopefully) still time? Can we ween ourselves from
our selfish comfort zone and do without cheap things from abroad? Do we
understand that if we do not discipline ourselves and purposely correct this
hideous mess that the cost will be far more than we can imagine and one from
which we may take perhaps as long as a century (if ever) to recover?
We need to ask ourselves, “How can we last in an economic
environment where we are all ‘price whores’ who lay aside our common sense for
a few dollars and revel in our economic pleasures with no concern for the
consequences?” And, “How do we last in an hour when we don’t care what’s right
or wrong?” (ignorance/not caring is always a vote for evil and not acting for
good is to be complicit in evil) “Can we survive when we don’t try to
understand and we let the Devil take tomorrow for today we need a friend by the
name of ‘Captain Save-a-Buck’ (ala the song ‘Help Me Make It Through The
Night’)?”
This is neither the day nor the hour to relax even for so
much as a moment. We must remain appraised of the wiles of our merciless,
violent, and rabid enemies who hate our nation and have, for decades, labored
indefatigably to destroy it. Our lack of focus and determination to win must
never waver because you can rest assured that the enemy will never allow
himself to do that. We must fight both the enemy and our own natural
predilections for comfort and ease because no battle is ever won in a “comfort
zone” but in the trenches.
Above all, we must stay strengthened by knowing from whence
and from whom our strength comes. We must be guided by His Spirit and live by
His principles and His word. Lacking these things, we will fail in an
apocalypse that sees the greatest nation that has ever existed crushed and
helpless and dependent upon a one-world “savior” who will be a one-world dictator of unimaginable despotism.
Ponder these things then act upon them. There is no more
time.
