While most
Christians will readily admit that we are living in the last of
the last days, it is amazing how most do not give any credence
to what we were warned would be the psychological climate of
these times. The Word specifically deals with the psychological
climate of the last days because God knew that these days would
be utterly confusing, filled with the grossest of lies and
deceptions, called in the Word - Strong Delusion!
So just what is
the definition of strong delusion? In three words, CONSPIRACY TO
DEFRAUD! This word conspiracy is what many Christians have
trouble with, even though God Himself warned of a great
conspiracy that would be brought against the people of the world
by a group of master deceivers, and just what does a master
deceiver do? He deceives, and claims that anyone who has figured
out his deception is a conspiracy theory nutcase, in order to
continue cloak his deception.
Now mix this
strong delusion of conspiracy with what the word describes as,
Lying Wonders. This is the combined formula at work in the world
today, the fulfillment of 2 Thessalonians, strong delusion and
lying wonders.
9-11 was an
obvious lying wonder, where we are told that a 757 got sucked
into a sixteen foot hole and that buildings fell into their own
basements because of fires on only a few floors; that nineteen
Arabs, operating out of a cave in Afghanistan totally spoofed
the world greatest defense department, yet no one was fired or
admonished, only promoted!!! Katrina was another lying wonder,
but I will refrain from going into the details here.
These two
prophetically combined elements, lying wonders and strong
delusion are what most of you are suffering from today, SDLW
Syndrome, and it is your responsibility to be healed of it and
come out of the strong delusion and no longer believe the lying
wonders.
Though we would
like to blame wicked and evil people or Satan himself for the
strong delusion and mass deceptions being perpetrated in the
world today, God specifically states that HE sent the strong
delusion, not Satan!
"And for this
cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should
believe a lie." - 2 Thessalonians 2:11
Why in the world
would God send a strong delusion, so strong that if it were
possible, it would fool even the elect? The answer should make
you shudder to your core and re-access your relationship with
God, as most Christians are extremely caught up in the strong
delusion.
"That they all
might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in
unrighteousness." - 2 Thessalonians 2:12
There is the
answer. If we compromise the teachings of Yahshua, in favor of
government policy and propaganda that are the antithesis of the
teachings of Yahshua we are immediately sucked into the end time
strong delusion prophesied to come, that is here now. The strong
delusion was sent by God to separate the sheep from the goats,
the wheat from the tares, and it is truly disgusting to watch.
I am appalled at
how so many Christians have become war-mongers, pro-torture,
pro-empire, pro-Bush, pro-lies, pro-deception, pro-murder of
innocents at all cost; Christians who applaud the destruction of
other fellow Christians homes and lives at the hands of an
anti-Christ government (Israel-Lebanon conflict).
Christians who
ignore the fact that their fearless, so-called Christian leader
lied and deceived an entire nation and the entire world into the
war in Iraq, a Christian president who gives the finger more
than some demon possessed rock star! A so-called Christian who
is a self proclaimed member of a satanic society called, Skull
and Bones. A president that has broken so many laws, both
domestically and internationally that even unbelievers in the
press have labeled him as The Lawless One, not realizing they are
quoting prophecy. This is the meaning of:
"That they all
might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in
unrighteousness." - 2 Thessalonians 2:12
This prophecy is
being fulfilled NOW by all of us in one way or another. Either
by your turning away from the true teachings of Yahshua - you
are caught in the snare of deception to your own damnation (the
Word above is clear on this) or by your acknowledging the truth
of all matters in the light of the teachings of Yahshua, you
have come out of the deception and are willing to face the
reality and not the lies.
We have been so
trained to think that everything in the last days was going to
be some spiritual event that we have fallen hook line and sinker
into what God warned us of - the strong delusion. Not willing to
use our God-given critical thinking to connect the dots of
obvious frauds and deceptions, so afraid to be classified as a
conspiracy theory lunatic, but that is the only way we will ever
be able to break out of the strong delusion of lies and
deception we are in right now.
Unlike unbelievers
who figure out that we have been deceived and go off on rampages
to reveal the truth of the conspiracies and formulate ideas that
are ineffective, the people of God need to use their critical
thinking just to be aware of what is truly transpiring and not
the lies being perpetrated by the conspirators and their false
prophet, the mainstream media.
The Christian
needs to cling to truth, regardless how uncomfortable that truth
may be. Most will not do this and would instead glaze themselves
over with the untrue herd mentality which I call the Christian
Borg Collective, wherein critical thinking is not allowed, only
acceptance of whatever the masses
believe, true or not.
This is extremely displeasing to God, as
He has given each of us the gift of reason, but reason seems to
be an unwanted attribute in today's climate of fear, paranoia
and mass delusion. We just don't want to know the truth, and
think that God is pleased with His people acting like
non-thinking dunces.
I always tell
God's people, if you truly want to understand what is happening
in this hour of confusion and fear, ask God to let you see the
world through His eyes. For those who have asked this, they have
been rudely awakened to the reality behind the mask of
deception. Why do we need to see things as they truly are? That
we may pray with greater understanding and meaning, according to
the truth and not falsehoods and fear.
Here is an
excellent article by Jay Esbe which hopefully will help make
sense of what true conspiracy is vs. lunatic fringe conspiracy,
and maybe, just maybe one or two of the thousands who read this
will pray about it and come out of the strong delusion that is
in the world today, in the political arena, geopolitical arena
and most importantly, even in the churches.
Endtime prophecy
does not deal with the lies and propaganda reported on the
evening news, but deals with the truth of the matters. You will
NEVER understand end time prophecy unless you are willing to go
against the flow of misinformation being presented by mainstream
outlets (puppets of the beast) and face the truth, which is in
most every case, revealed in the alternative reports of the true
conspiracy at work behind the lying, Satanically controlled news
media. Do you honestly think that God speaks to us on FOX News,
CBS, ABC, NBC or CNN-entities owned and controlled by the prince
of the power of the air? Why do you think they call it -
air-waves?
A lot of effort
goes into "debunking" conspiracy theories, and certainly there
are many which are absurd, and poorly defended. But the tendency
to find conspiracies to explain events, is anything but rooted
in ignorance.
One of the things
which separates man from the rest of the Animal kingdom, is his
intellectual capacity to recognize patterns. A human being sees
a square peg and a square hole, and knows they go together. A
monkey presumably has trouble unless taught.
The tendency to
skepticism is not always a sign of intelligence. Sometimes, when
otherwise intelligent people dismiss the connection between a
square peg and a square hole, it's because they've been
conditioned to ignore it. I believe this is the case with much
of the self-proclaimed intellectual elite's disdain
for so-called "conspiracy theories"; people have to be taught,
or otherwise pressured not to see the pattern.
A person who holds
a conspiratorial world view, is generally a person who demands
that the world make more sense than he's told it does. They're
someone looking for the laws of cause and effect, the fit
between square peg and square hole, the connectable dots, to
justify a narrative which makes more sense to them than
something that doesn't make sense to them. Now while one may in
fact be so stupid, that ordinary events are inexplicable, the
events which generate conspiracy theories do not usually fall
into that category; they are attempting to explain extraordinary
events.
We use the concept
of conspiracy every day in our legal system, and there would be
many thousands more criminals walking our streets were we not to
recognize and include the concept of conspiracy in trials. Yet
somehow, a vastly different standard has been applied to certain
historic crimes over the decades when the public demands a
logical explanation for the extraordinary events in question.
Current polls now
show that a majority of Americans believe the government is not
telling them the truth about 9-11. That fact now makes the
majority of Americans "conspiracy theorists" regarding the
issue. It is now a minority of the public who believes they were
told the truth by the Bush appointed 9-11 Commission, but such
is not the case among the so-called "mainstream media". It is
nearly universally hostile to any question of a cover-up by the
government. Those who need the world to make sense do not find
the disparity between public opinion and the media elite's
contempt for suspicion to be meaningless.
They reasonably
look for a vested conflict of interest on the part of the
corporate media to explain why presumably intelligent
professionals go soft in the head, and they do not have to look
far to find one; a media which sits in an unelected advisory
capacity to the President of the United States through the CFR
(Council on Foreign Relations), innumerable "think tanks" funded
by corporate interests all assuming a
global model is "inevitable", and directly attached special
interests which include the world's biggest defense contractors
raking billions of dollars in for share holders as they pursue
the war profits of 9-11. People who point out the obvious are
not wearing tin foil hats, they're simply...pointing out the
obvious.
Self-proclaimed
debunkers pull out every trick in the book to discredit the now
flourishing "9-11 Truth movement"; pointing out the most
improbable theories as though they were representative (straw
men), pointing out the unrelated UFO believers who may also
believe them, all in an attempt to portray "idiocy
by association" and to make a soup so thick with the stench of
lunacy, that anyone who dares tread in it is sullied by
association.
But governments
exist as de facto conspiracies to control their peoples, it's
only a question of which people need to be controlled. The
government of North Korea exists to protect itself and control
it's population by keeping them in the dark through continual
disinformation. The governments of China, The United Kingdom,
Canada, and the United States, all have one thing in common;
despite varying in the availability of information, they all
exist as rival nations with militaries, presumably military
strategies, and a
requirement to keep their own people in the dark to one degree
or another if their long term global military strategy has any
chance of succeeding.
All one needs to
understand about so-called "conspiracy theories" is that the
only thing in any question when
dealing with a nation of significance on the world stage, is
which particular theory fits the conduct. The conspiracy is a
given. But the requirement of secrecy can manifest itself
overtly as in the case of China, or more artfully in the case of
the United States; one nation will take you out and put a bullet
in your head for questioning the regime, the other will simply
create a culture of derision for those who dare to ask the wrong
question in the midst of plenty.
It's no
coincidence then, that peoples outside any particular country
can more clearly see the dark side of a nation's agenda than
those within it; the Chinese government's primary motive is to
lie about it's own ambitions, just as the United States is. Both
the Chinese and American people probably get the truth more
often than not about each other respectively if the truth is
damning of the other, and almost never if it's good.
Another frequent
charge laid against the conspiratorial world view is that
conspiracies of such magnitude take too many people to be
probable or even possible. Nothing could be further from the
truth; they actually take remarkably few people. I'd like to use
the American space program as a good example.
To
the unthinking, it's simply the space program, and any given
launch of the shuttle has it's purpose in nothing much further
than the idea that man has an innate desire to explore. But
applying the conspiratorial view point paints a far more
accurate picture of reality; the space program is in fact a
quest by the United States to control the space above the earth
for military purposes, and any so-called civilian purposes, are
only there for public relations purposes.
Now NASA is a
conspiracy: how many day to day people are "in on it" in the
usual understanding of the term? Possibly none. No one needs to
be in on it within the agency itself because the autocratic
power structure of the organization and it's controlling
overseers precludes -or at the very least- does not
require each individual from knowing the entire mission; they
only need to know their job.
The planners in the Pentagon,
unseen and un-elected are now free to engage the macro
conspiratorial benefits of the plan, and the workers are simply
people doing their job who mind their own business if
they'd like to keep it. Such I believe was the case with 9-11; a
veritable handful of people in an autocratic top-down human
structure, decided to facilitate the event.
The average New
York Port Worker who thought it was suspicious that certain
policies were being changed, that cameras were turned off as the
WTC was "powered down" before the attacks only had the choice to
believe it was perhaps curious, or to ask questions and put
their job in jeopardy. This isn't complicated. Like a NASA
employee, he decides it's none of his business, and of course
once the
crime has gone
down, it's no trick to make him lay awake in fear should he talk
to anyone about the "problems" he saw.
The individuals
who participate in deriding so-called conspiracy theorists, are
generally of two ilk; those who've been manipulated into it
through what is commonly referred to as 'peer pressure', and
those who's rabid nationalism is held as a higher value than any
possibility that their nation just might not be the paradigm of
moral virtue in a sea of evil that the evidence tells them it
isn't. Some of these people may even act as conscious
gate-keepers if they're individually corrupt enough as "party
loyalists".
Any decent sleuth
who witnesses a crime and wants to solve it however, begins with
an open mind and a first question; who stood most to gain from
the crime? Applying this question to September 11th generates
some very immediate exclusions, first among them being the Arab
world, followed by an immediate inclusion: an aging super-power
which has exhausted it's previous colonization's of treasure and
which has suddenly found itself uncomfortably at peace.
Public opinion
outside the United States is statistically overwhelming of the
view that the attacks of September 11th were an inside job. It's
not that the rest of the world is worthy of being labeled "paranoid" that
they should have arrived at such a consensus. They are simply
not subject to the social forces and media which would prevent
such a first question and conclusion.
We are currently
residing in a kind of peril most Americans are unaware of.
Although the rampant law breaking of George W. Bush is openly
discussed, the notion that a demonstratively criminal administration
would commit every crime imaginable and lie about virtually
everything with the sole exception of
the one event that enables them to continue to commit the
crimes, is still something which will result in rabid a attacks
on anyone who dares to ask the obvious question.
The nationalistic
intimidation campaign we've all witnessed after September 11th
continues, although crippled by the exposures regarding Iraq and
the so-called "intelligence failures", and 9-11 is the last
taboo question remaining which can still get you fired from your
job or simply ordered off a television news interview if you
dare to ask.
But given the
magnitude of the crimes in office which have already been
exposed, allowing one's self to be
pressured out of asking the hard questions about September 11th
almost eliminates any meaning to any other recognition by the
public of all the other crimes in evidence; 9-11 is the
cornerstone of every so-called justification for every illegal
act committed by the administration, overt or occult,
and until 9-11 is confronted with the same level of skepticism
as WMD in Iraq and phony claims of "intelligence failure" have
been, the American people are still residing on a fulcrum who's
tipping point is in the hands of a criminal mad-man.
The failure of the
Democrats to face down ridicule and to demand answers on the
issue has not only crippled their capacity to stop all of this,
but on a day to day basis forces them to remain complicit in the
insane foreign policy which naturally resulted from the biggest
crime in history; there is no chance to reverse the course when
the "war on terror" is assumed to be a given. But -of course- if
9-11 was what most of the world believes it was, that war is as
phony as everything else manufactured by the administration and
will continue unquestioned.
Once lead down the
daisy path, the Democrats will once again have placed themselves
in the untenable position of either having to admit they were
duped, or continue to play the Republican game. Guess which one
has immediate undesirable political consequences. If they
couldn't admit regretting their
vote for the attack on Iraq on false pretenses, how are they
going to admit to regretting the entire last 6 years of the
"post 9-11 world"? They're not going to do it unless dragged
kicking and screaming, and at
the end of the day, who else are you going to vote for if they
won't admit it?
It is thus that we
arrive at the mother of all conspiracies; the myth of American
democracy. It's never existed apart from an onslaught of
propaganda which claims otherwise. It's only a feel-good story
line accepted by most
people because they're comfortable amid the wealth generated by
it's undemocratic foreign policy. As usual, the people with the
most are the people which have the most to lose by questioning
the regime. There's no need for a conscious conspiracy, not when
an unconscious or negligent complicity with the status quo will
suffice. It will and it does.
The culture of
derision against the conspiratorial world view has real
consequences today. If 9/11 was in fact the inside job so much
evidence indicates that it was, unless that evidence is taken
seriously, we risk continuing
down a path that has no basis in reality. Self-proclaimed
debunkers are fond of the axiom "Extraordinary claims require
extraordinary proof".
If this is true, then do not extremely
serious accusations warrant extremely serious investigations?
But the majority of Democrats and independent voters in this
country who oppose the innumerable abuses of power undertaken by
the Bush administration are
in fact only hurting themselves when they fall victim to the
debunker's tactics to dissuade them from further examining the
evidence for government complicity.
They want a new
administration, but one competent to carry out the "war of
terror". This is the strict equivalent of the people of NAZI
Germany who opposed Hitler, wanting a new leader to deal with
the Jew's burning of the Reichstag. The bottom line on 9-11 is
that if you don't know the truth, everything you do based upon
the lie is going to be dead wrong.
There also exists
a school of thought by too many in the opposition, that although
9-11 smells bad to them, they can not successfully oppose the
Republican agenda by talking about it, fearing that the right
will hammer them with charges of "conspiracy whackos" if they
do. And indeed they will, for those who've spoken out are
excoriated by responses that the term "hysterical" is not too
strong to describe.
Witness one Jeremy
Glick's appearance on the O'Reilly factor as exemplary of the
kind of treatment one can expect if they publicly implicate the
government. But as long as the opposition allows itself to be
cowed by these kind of tactics, they will remain crippled;
forced to acknowledge the need for a "war on terror", their
representatives pressured to support an agenda the nature of
which always entraps them.
Like their disastrous vote to allow
Bush to attack Iraq, each step down the daisy path makes any
chance of political extrication for the so-called "mistake"
increasingly difficult, creating a political calculus of
maintained artifice vs. "I went along to get along". As to which
decision is chosen, we don't have to guess.
It may well be
that we are so far down this ruinous path based on our own
subjection to government deception (worshipping the beast -
Watchman) that there is no longer any possibility of escape.
We've started two major wars, alienated the entire world
community, and provoked nations which are actually capable
of causing us great harm, all on account of an event which may
well have been done to us as the pretense to empire it appears
to be, by our own government.
Unless the point
of origin for all of this is actually seriously investigated,
and suspects questioned under oath, America's fate appears to
have a good chance of becoming the nightmare so many of us are
all having. If 9-11 was accomplished by people inside our own
government, the magnitude of this crime is going to define the
quanta of desperation on the part of those responsible as these
subsequent events go from bad to worse. These may well be people
who've already gone so far, that they will do anything to avoid
exposure, including starting a global thermonuclear war to
eliminate their would be accusers.
I happen to
believe that 9-11 was an inside job. That has many possible
definitions, ranging from TLIHOP (they let it happen on purpose)
to TMIHOP (they made it happen on purpose). I believe the
attacks were actually orchestrated by government operatives in
conjunction with other nations, including Pakistan. I don't
believe this because I want to, I don't. No one does.
I believe
this because despite my natural desire to see the bad guys
paraded before me immediately after the attacks, the "official
story" has a counterpart narrative which is far more credible,
both in respect to 9-11 itself, and the historical patterns of
deception engaged in by this government over the decades.
Anyone who doesn't
believe that high ranking officials within the United States
government do not conspire to harm the people of the United
States as a pretense for military actions, is someone denying
facts, not "theories". From the Tuskegee Experiment, Operation
Northwoods, The Gulf of Tonkin, LSD experiments on unknowing
subjects, prior knowledge of Pearl Harbor, to the overt lies
about weapons of mass destruction as pretense to occupy Iraq,
and so many more, the government has demonstrably acted in
accordance with the charge of conspiracy. These are not
"theories". So what really appears to be a theory? The notion of
the pattern continuing, or the notion of the pattern being
interrupted, all evidence to the contrary aside?
There does come a
point at which when the record is examined, there is cause to
abandon the presumption of innocence as a finding precluding
further investigation. What can one really say when those who
opposed any independent investigation into 9-11 and attempted to
block it, then refused to testify under oath? Only a fool or
someone who's had their brain washed one too many times fails to
find their suspicion.
But that is in fact the pitiable condition
which most Americans find themselves in as they're lead ever
further down the path to global Armageddon on the foundation of
an official story told by those who so much evidence and history
points to as perpetrators of the biggest mass murder in history.
It is not my
purpose here to recount the various theories which have been set
forth by those who believe the government's hand is behind
September 11th. Some are more plausible than others, and some
are inevitably way off the mark. It is the climate of
repression, the psychology of a national condition which is
being imposed which I hope to shed light on, by exposing the
fundamental falsity of those who would immediately leap to
defend the government against the basic charge.
Those who would
do so find their best defense to be an engagement in debate over
the details of the most improbable
theories set forth, chosen by them to distract from the bigger
picture they intend to obfuscate.
Their success at
this is only temporary, for eventually, a generation or two down
the road when the paradigm no longer requires the cover-up,
their shrieking at their exposure fades, and sure enough, we
find out that the cover-up alleged, was rightly alleged. The
problem we currently face however is that given the global
nature of this conspiracy's impact, and the lethality of the
weapons being readied, we can not afford to keep our heads in
the sand until a new generation uncovers the crime; there just
might not be a tomorrow if the lie is not challenged today.
To deny conspiracy
simply because it's conspiracy is to deny a fundamental truth
about human nature; We desire, we covet. And with desire begins
the quest to seek advantage for gain. Human beings conspire all
the time, every day. Those who exclude people in positions of
power have twice engaged in an absurdity;
they've denied human nature, and they've denied it in those most
capable of acting.
The person willing to embrace the
conspiratorial world view derives no comfort in it, on the
contrary, it's very uncomfortable. The motive therefore does not
exist on the side of the conspiracy theorist, but with those who
dismiss him. History has not been kind to them.
"Conspiracy"
explains the world, it's actors and human events better than
randomness and it always has. Who covets? Who stood to gain? Who
stood to lose? Who attempts to excuse themselves from cross
examination? These are not questions generated by well placed
tin-foil hats, nor are otherwise natural suspicions which arise
when they're answered. To take the conspiratorial world view is
simply to engage in reason as evidence presents itself in the
light of known history.
