I do appreciate all the comments and I am considering what is stated. I am not giving answers to each comment, however. If we have a group ready to hold a constitutional.convention and start setting up a legitimate government, I am interested, will make time, and will of course give my ideas. This discussion should not be my lecturing and then being corrected. It is more like the Federalist papers in my view

I understand. All time is precious.

I have a relatively low-stress life, to be lived as I may choose, so I must make allowances for those that are elsewise occupied.

I still admire your aims, and will lend what support that I am able.

Great idea regarding search engines and honest journalists. How do you expect to get these good policies established and executed? How will you deal with alphabet agencies (CIA, FBI, etc). How will you prosecute the bad guys, while cops are bad guys? These are real questions, as I do think your ideas are excellent but lack a method to accomplish them as the evil establishment has infiltrated like a cancer every portion of government and communications.

There is no such thing as an outstanding education. They all employ indoctrination and programming. Don't deceive yourself or others regarding the quality of education. These are good ideas, but unless you have truly outstanding knowledge and creativity, they are impossible to fulfill.

Once again, Michael, I concur with all of that you stated (so succinctly!), EXCEPT for the last phrase, of which I do not personally condone.

May I gift you a subscription to my substack, for your perusal?

Cheers!

Thank you for the kind offer, but I don't accept gifts. If you give them freely, I will look at it. I am 65 and still sane for a reason= no bargains, no gifts, no kidding.

I have never yet tied a string to a gift given by these hands, and as I can only know this personally, and am not naive enough to expect that others should take me only upon my word, but by other important measures, I fully understand, as I Trust Few- and, honestly, given the current situation, I would not push the limits of such trust.

I ask nothing in return, and the only profit I wish for, is that kindness be married to solemn strength within as many hearts as would yearn for a safe place for our future children to frolic, from which the whole world would benefit.

Happy children are healthy children, and healthy children are not as likely to be run aground.

It all started with our first step, and I plan to tread with careful precision.

Sally forth!

The rulers have planned to, and initiated the process of killing over seven billion people. For centuries, and for decades including current rulers now, have subverted, deceived, murdered, literally brought to hell, billions and billions of innocent people. Exploitation, manipulation, slavery, imposing wrong values intentionally, inciting wars by killing thousands of their own citizens and blaming foreigners who are then also murdered.... let us sing kumbaya and forgive them all, I am sure that they are boyscouts wanting to do good. Does a snake change his character when he changes his skin? Even if they said they would change, do you really think that they would? Do you have any alternative solution? I wish there was one. I can't think of one.

My solution is to keep my own soul as clean as I might, and allowing that I am in control of very, very little, and have zero control of another.

Yes, there is wickedness rampant upon this Earth, and yes, I too am human, and at my weakest, might seek vengeance, but I KNOW in the very greatest portion of this thing that is me, that vengeance belongs to the creative force, alone.

One possible choice/alternative/loosely described solution might be to create a island home for wayward , wicked tyrants- perhaps J. Ardern's island home of New Zealand would work - where they all could be banished to, if this world's peoples ever wake up to this cruel reality, which is very unlikely, in my opinion.

My tired eyes would try to tell me that most are as blind as day-old kittens, and until a one realizes the situation of this "game" being played, that one is going to likely remain content being spoon fed the devil's pap.

We are warriors, I think, and must exert our every ounce of self control, and use our growing dignity and respect for Truth as the guiding force that it will be, when wielded correctly - not as a literal weapon that takes life, but as the spiritual weapon that cuts out the lie from the good parts that may remain.

The road is narrow, and the way is straight. Many are called, few are chosen.

What do these words embody within your mind and being?

To me, they speak truthfully of what I sense all around, with people being more the hedonistic gods all their little selves, with no regard for the idea of Truth, as such is just there to put a damper on their perverse outlets.

The line is being drawn indelibly on our hearts, and I aim to serve and honor the side with love and compassion as it's tenets, not the one that seeks to establish power and might as a iron fist to rule these delinquents.

Onward to a martyr's fate? No one really relishes such possibilities as that, understandably, yet a one must decide for one's own self to whom or to what their allegiance is given (if any) , and where their efforts might be best utilized.

I think to have this dilemma be shown in as clear and simple a way as I might, but there are certainly no guarantees that it will help a single other soul, but must use only those elusive and ethereal gifts of faith and hope, backed by my own effort made in real, physical time, with these hands, and this mouth, guided by my mind, which I believe to be guided by the Holy eternal Spirit, IF I place myself as the empty, willing vessel that is to be filled with the goodness that pours forth, guiding my hand, and my tongue, and my footsteps.

I can only proceed as best I might, if I am willing, and then can test to see if I might be able, and I can say honestly "so far, so good"

Goodnight.

Yes, I am one of the few chosen, and I took the straight and narrow path, I transformed by the renewal of my mind... and on and on. But what kind of perverse god lets only a few go to heaven, and the vast majority suffer eternity in hell? Am I supposed to be obedient to the lying evil devil? Faith is foolishness, it is basically superstition. Faith does not make good equal evil, nor lies equal truth, it only makes you eligible to be under the devil's spell. REgarding the Holy Spirit:

A true man of righteousness is led by the spirit. The Holy Spirit is not one of the trinity, is not a person. The Hebrew words translated to “Holy Spirit” are “rouach hakodesh” Kodesh is defined as “outside of worldliness,” and can mean being unselfish, not chasing sensual desires, not involved in worldly or materialistic desires. It is called in English- “holy.” “Rouach” is defined as “breath” or “wind.” In other words, Holy Spirit is that enthusiastic force within some people that drives them to strive against worldly materialistic sensual temptations and selfish motivations.

In the Old Testament, Moses fought against oppressive slave masters, Sampson slew a thousand oppressive Philistines with the jawbone of a donkey, when the spirit came upon him. David killed Goliath. In 1 Kings chapter 18, Elijah called fire down from heaven and slaughtered 450 prophets of Baal. In 2Kings chapters nine and ten, the prophet Elisha anointed Jehu with oil, who killed all the Baal worshippers in Israel.

In the OT, the spirit was responsible for enabling prophets, kings, and warriors to have the incentive, drive, courage, and strength to successfully oppose the powerful evil entities against all odds. Baal was the god of prosperity and virility- money and sex.

But in the New Testament, while the spirit did oppose the flesh, it was tamed and disarmed. The fruits of the spirit are described in Galatians chapter five as love, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. That scripture is followed by the statement: against those there is no law. So be overcome by evil powers, because you don’t want to break any laws those powers made.

Funny (not really, a better  word is “suspicious”) how the same book that tells you to be a good slave, to obey your government, to be a sheep, to turn the other cheek, to love your enemies, and bless those who curse you, to rejoice when being persecuted, that weakness is strength, to not trust your own wisdom, to pay taxes and tithes, and to return goodness to evil, has now declared that the spirit of the righteous warrior should be replaced with gentleness, restraint, and patience. It excludes from the list of positive qualities such characteristics as integrity, courage, and wisdom. Does that not raise some red flags??? Is this realization not alarming?? What have we been taught? Why?? What is their motivation?!! Seems to me that they want to strip us of what a man really is, to make sure that nobody attempts to break free of slavery.

The bible was used on innocent people, and used language to make them feel knowledgable, it was a trap to capture naïve victims and put them in spiritual bondage in hell.

"Faith does not make good equal evil, nor lies equal truth, it only makes you eligible to be under the devil's spell."

I agree with the first two observations, but wholeheartedly disagree with the last.

It has been the mystical, preservational shield that it is described as being within our deluded Holy Bible, such as described in the book of Ephesians, chapter 6, which is one of those confusing books, telling the docile and near brain-dead toadies to be good and obedient slaves to the human masters, while then telling them to saddle up with the full armor.

Very confusing, to say the least, and I have persevered, and continue to do so, and have exacted some worth from these efforts.

When my mother died in '92, my cousin, who was indoctrinated within the Bible bs that you see so clearly, was won't to pray to the great white-bearded God-man in the sky for my mother to be brought back to life.

He was 16 or 17 at the time, and when his naive world was brought crashing down- when his child's prayer was not answered- he then turned his back on the whole idea of religion (which is a great and smart choice), but also threw in the Spirit with the trash, lumping it all together.

This is the evil that institutionalized religion causes with it's dark intentions.

To have all either as dopey morons, with no thought their own, or as bitter rebels, turned against the One Source, that is now to be deemed a hoax in their deluded, misled minds...

My cousin is now actively liberal, and tolerant of much evil, perverted filth, and actively voices his hatred for "Christianity", and the hypocrites that falsely hold Yahshuah's tenets that, if genuinely applied with honest effort, would see our countenances raised, I have zero doubts.

This miserable lie that pervades all physical aspects of the Sacred, is what is fully intended to wreak the havoc that is unleashed on this Earth, within the wayward beings of mortal flesh, and only those that endure through it, with their treasure held high out of reach, will reap the benefits, I must expect.

I cannot speak for the unnameable Source, as I am considered a heretic, in that I do not believe in the name of gad being a name we can speak, or refer to as the tetragrammaton, as that is the treachery that you sense so clearly, I believe.

At the risk of my credibility (what credibility?🧐), I can say that Z. Sitchin's works provide some Very Worthy food for thought, even though they have been relegated to be used to sow more division amongst the human savages.

He makes some brilliant, no-no sense points that are to be of benefit to such as would have the foundation clearly exposed (as best we little boys and girls may, anyhow).

I sense the likelihood that you are already familiar with his works, but if not, his books, along with Will (and Ariel) Durant's History of Civilization, and the works of Augustine of Hippo (particularly his "Confessions", and his "The City of God") we're all a blessing many times over for me to ponder, and push To Know What I Might.

Each and every one of us must do our own due diligence, and put the puzzle together for ourselves, if we are to be genuine in our efforts, but surely the best of us, that forego the bulk of vain pursuits, may discuss these worthy ideas in seriousness, with true and righteous aims of the purest sort- salvation being foremost placed, over all else, or we must perish.

This is the hard, cold Truth, I believe.

Too many are willingly led to be nothing but pawns, never questioning the merits of such blind allegiance, and that is to be considered of the greatest shames.

I hope to discuss more of these most worthy of topics with more and more people, as these things really should be lifted out of the dread and off-limits realm of "religion and politics", where such have been successfully vilified, which ultimately boils down to our not discussing "life", when the correct definitions are applied- and how sinister in it's implications, that so many have bought the lie(s) proffered.

I care for our collective plight, as do all of you, or we would not be here, typing our observations, our hopes, our visions.

Blessings and the Strength to Triumph over this lie.

I have not read those books. MY books come from my own revelation and experience, along with research to put the puzzle pieces together. I am fully knowledgeable of the bible due to years of believing study, had created 350 bible messages in full faith, and once enlightened brought it down quickly, penning the first half of THE UNTOLD NATURE OF CHRISTIANITY in two weeks. Later incarcerated and "hospitalized" involuntarily to recover from writing the books, the second third books, (the other is ANGRY LOUD AND CLEAR TRUTH, the first was EXPOSING THE MONEY MACHINE) were finally published in spring 2020, more than a year after finishing 95% of them. A full and careful read is profitable for mind and spirit, as well as soul. IT can prevent one from many harms, induce righteous living, instill proper values, show a correct worldview and mindset, and change paradigms. My books are rocking this world like none have before.

I myself have armed myself with the breastplate (bullet proof vest) of righteousness and put on the belt of truth to hold my pants up. But the rest is bullshit, plain and simple. Your spirit is good, but why have mercy on those who not only don't deserve it, but would not give it to you?

Faith that you can weather all storms may be a good faith, but it can be called superstition when it believes things that you cannot understand, the very definition of superstition. I strongly urge Emanuel to read MY book THE UNTOLD NATURE OF CHRISTIANITY, the product of 10,000 hours of independent study of the bible as a devout true believer, followed by visions and evidence that God is indeed really Satan. I use many hundreds of scriptures to bury that book to prove it was penned by an agent of Rome, pharisee Josephus, to impose a slave and submissive mentality on Rome's (now Romerica) citizens to rule over in hell easily. A book of spells.

YEs, remain pursuing truth, righteousness, mercy, justice, and overall goodness. But being kind to the most undeserving and despicable characters, agents of Satan, is not sensible to me. I cannot seek evil damnation, God does that, and his minions. However, I do wish death, a far lesser punishment, and far more merciful fate than met on the vast majority by the ones in power. I do wish death for those despicable contemptible authorities.

I admire your virtue, but we know that there will be much blood spilt due to the hordes of cops and military and CIA and the like who will be ordered to kill us all. If we do win, what do you suggest? That we take great effort to spare those who were instrumental in making this happen, who knowingly and willingly allowed the evil to transpire? It is okay to kill soldiers but not generals who ordered their actions? come on, don't fake the high road. Another self-deceiver. There is no high road to take here. If it were in my hands to spare them from hell, I would perhaps do so. But I would not spare them from death.

I hear you regarding vengeance. But do you really think that mass murderers, that mass pedophiles, mass treasonous works by someone does not deserve the death penalty? How many transgressors have been electrocuted to death for killing a cop or two, for being a political prisoner, and the like? Have you never heard of Nuremburg? Did these people not do likewise, or worse? The bioweapon vaccines will have killed over 2 billion people within three years, and the births over the next generations will be genetically faulty. The earths' climate is destroyed by chemtrails, and most animals and plant life is gone. They have done much worse. And you have mercy on them?

That said, I have also thought of the island idea. But if we call the death penalty for mass murderers who have killed three, four, or five people, where is the justice there? These people have done great harm. More than killing in this life, they have brought eternal damnation to many. That is unforgivable. Damn them. And solitary confinement for decades, as political prisoners like Abdul Jamal has servd, is worse than death. Mercy for the ultimately despicable and contemptible because they used their high positions in deception to have greater harm, and paraded as dignified and respectable?

The powers of darkness that rule this world, and the very air, are all aligned against we who would stand in loving, faithful defiance against such as they.

The enemy loves our division and confusion, and the aim is absolute and total destruction of all of the glorious Creation that it might destroy.

Brother against brother.

I myself have no desire to cultivate that which my enemies would hope for, as any such behaviors would be counterproductive, as is quite plain to see.

The "enemy of my enemy" business does not apply to one that has no enemy, and such tactics are only used to contrive more strife and endless war.

To return fire with fire appears to work, but what results are felt from such in the loooong term?

Wouldn't wisdom ask us to ponder such, or are we forever to remain as Pandora, to never look before we leap?

I'd sure rather not.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, is that it?

Meaning that we are encouraged to partake of our flesh desires always and only, making it out as wisdom, to not consider the outcomes of our every action, not that we must get lost in the hundredth move in the galactic chess game, but surely the values of care and prudence can be exemplified?

I have no doubt that all life must now suffer upon this Earth, not because the Spirit willed it, I think to sense, but because "$hit happens", and the rain must fall on the just and the unjust, alike.

The darkness has landed, and those that are here may join in with the devil's parade, OR, they may put their lot in with the pansy-ass meek lovers of life, that are to see no smut to have stained their bigger part- the Soul, or so I hold as Truth.

Two Masters...

Is this merely a continuation of the Roman principle, of the two faces of the one coin? Of two-faced Janus, and the one doorway? Or is this just whimsical symbology?

I find it to be the former, and many will not, or cannot agree, and that will have to be, I reckon.

I am firmly convinced, having lived to "see", that there is this simple dichotomy of good and evil, as naive as that sounds to many, these days.

I can almost hold "it" in my hand, this overwhelmingly wonderful feeling that comes to me when I ponder wholeheartedly these matters of our spiritual aspects, of which I am to be grilled by the atheistic, pseudo-scientists, with their demanding proof for something that I can not even correctly name, let alone give a solid definition to, and yet this is all integral to this idea of faith, as we discuss, which is grown (ideally, bigger and stronger) the more one uses it, and the one that experiences such, as I myself have, is lifted higher and higher, to peek at the fringe of Eternity, I daresay.

No chump change, that!

Life is no joke but to the lukewarm, and we here are certainly not to be accused of being that!

There are many prisoners, both literally and metaphorically, that are being stretched to the outer limits of their will to sanity, as I honestly believe that to be in a literal prison is not the worst type of prison, but the prison that is holding one in without awareness of such bondage is much worse, just as there are many, many worse things than physical death (I sense that you know my meaning without further elucidation), and I have already faced death directly, and so, perhaps, this may give me some advantage, held in a certain light.

Only a madman would deliberately bring death to his own door, in order to achieve what "just happened" for me, but I know that I became completely fearless after awaking again to this life I'd seen lost (I died a clinical death during an operation), and I feel like this was a very critical moment for me, as I am most certainly not "the same" in my values and beliefs.

I have faced down several other attempts on my life, some merely accidental, others bold-faced attacks, with my death as the aim.

I am no angel, Michael, and I want to make that clear. I am as sinful in nature as the next one, I can imagine.

All that I am now has been brought about by 99% grace, as I'd liken it, with the remaining 1% maybe (a big Maybe) being due to my oft ambiguous goal to do right, (ambiguous because "to ere is human", or so I tell myself, and I screw up-- Sue me!) which gets honed sharper and brighter with each passing triumph of my will to have done good, versus my will to screw up.

These are not merely fancies of the imagination, and I can't be subverted to imagining otherwise; no, I just cannot.

This life, though not only of a fleshly experience, is oh so very real, despite the devilish implications that would further pervert our already tenuous and fragile existence, such as Elon Musk telling the people that "we are all living within a simulation".

Oh boy, at the lies.

In reality, even should such be the case, it should not change the mode of operation in which we conduct ourselves, as I believe that the aim of such a bold statement was to give license to further perversions, allowing one to do all manner of wicked acts, or merely to allow for the lazy, "nothing I do matters" attitude, unto death (and not merely the death of the physical).

I have been following this business of the neuralink technology, and of artificial intelligence, and of quantum computers, and the internet of "things", and would suggest to you to look into a most sinister young man by the name of Geordie Rose.

A most dangerous little worm, doing the work of our enemy.

There are So Many fronts to tackle, that I would need at least several dozens, if not a near infinite number of arms, eyes, ears, and tongues to keep abreast of all the trash that needs cleaning, so I persevere in the knowledge that I only have what I was born with, and to do the bit of honest work that I might, and with the genuine desire to Make It Count as worthy of that which sustains my little, fragile being in the first place.

Better than no plan at all, I feel confident that you'd agree.

I look forward to more of the same, if not Better, of our sharing of this vast and wonderfully painful and tragi-comic existence we participate in.

I am on fire with the Spirit, and It is burning me purer and brighter, I feel. This is a honor for which nothing I can imagine will compare, and is it a "bad" or a shameful desire within me, to want to ignite others in a similar fashion, should such even be possible?

I get mixed resulting answers, from even within myself, which tells me that there Is No Easy Answer, and that each instance must be taken on an individual basis.

Makes enough sense to me, for the moment.

Adios, muchachos.

Until later...

I do really think that I am in no way able to kill those that I can only superficially judge, and even that is folly on my behalf.

I cannot even judge myself correctly.

I know, I know - high ideals, that most will tell me "good luck" or some such, likely wishing that I would get eaten by these monsters, as well...

I think that all of these uber-wealthy power players would die a very miserable and horrible life, should they all be placed within strict confines, upon some heavily guarded island, and would soon have destroyed each other, much as they have been willing to destroy all of us.

I have seen the wisdom inherent within the admonition for us to not return evil with evil, but every man and woman must figure out that boundary for their own self.

I can understand Mosaic Law, but the Teacher did away with that, and shows us how to address evil the ONLY way that such can be addressed, and that is to perfect the love that will shove the devils' own tails down their love-denying throats, much like Ouroboros, I envision.

I have survived the evil that would see me dead, and this is not me bragging, but providing testimony of my own worthy experience, which I can take no credit for the miracles that have occurred in my life.

I am still in awe, amazed that we survive ourselves, and this too, is evidence of the Divine presence, that is only confusedly intimated within the Book that I will receive- tares and all - as a worthy guide, should I be willing to persevere to remove the tares.

The Living Word.

Blessings of Mighty and Healing proportion to and for you, brother Michael.

I admire your willingness to fight, and your keen intelligence (which can be a man's downfall, oft-times), and I hope that "our" combined efforts to see evil withheld from our Temple are to catch fire, and spread, which I believe will be the case.

This war (that most are ignorant to, or in denial of) is very real, you and I, and others know without a small doubt.

I humbly ask that my steps (and all worthy warriors' steps) be guided by the sound virtues - mercy upon the most vile and wicked, and the grace to not condescend, the respect and honor for the Truth that sustains us, the dignity to see that we stay strong in our convictions, that are meted out to those that have made us their enemies, perhaps some day to win over their sick and corrupted beings from the darkness within which they must dwell, should they not welcome the healing, righteous Light, called the power of Love.

Onward! Upward! Salvation is the only worthy goal, as far as I am concerned.

What does a life amount to without such? Nada, by my reckoning, absolutely nothing. A one-dimensional paper doll, for all would be my worth. And that I will not abide, to the utmost of my abilities, and I hope to inspire likewise within my fellow mankind. A worthy pursuit?

I find it so.

A great and powerful day of worth, and may you find it to your benefit, Michael.

Unlock another door, placed to dissuade us from seeking Truth! Blessings, and

A bon adieux.

oh yes THE ONLY WORTHY OCCUPATION IS TO STUDY A BOOK THAT TELLS YOU THAT HEAVEN IS YOUR DESTINY AFTER YOU DIE, IF YOU OBEY AND BELIEVE. Going to this fictional fantasy on the word of the book that talks of the tower of babel, the red sea parting, JEricho walls falling, the flood, and many more FACTS (?) is soooo wise and commendable. IT sure is sooo worthy. IT trumps serving humanity as i Have for 35 years, in humble unpaid service (I still serve, but no longer humble)50,000 hours unpaid, serving elderly, mentally ill, and homeless populations. Now for the past eight years I have researched and revealed much at my risk of life and freedom, often losing such, as I am no longer a man of God, but am now a revolutionist (due to my knowledge and courageous character, not to any rebellious spirit) and am damn proud of it. I am ashamed (not humbly, but ridicule my past folly of gullible belief) of my past naive belief and stupidity to follow the damn bullshit and to give so much money to the damn church.

Heaven is not something to be gained, only lost. There is no heaven once we have entered hell. The book of Revelation is a deception and manipulation. Heaven is our original realm. lost in Christianity and/or sex, and never regained, though entrance to hell (insanity)can be prevented by certain pschotropic drugs.

It appears that the occult book of deception has a hold on you. I only wish punishment on those who deserve it. As I said, I am no evil fukn God to put people into everlasting torment forever and ever. But I would not give those evil corrupt bought deceiving snakes who pretend to believe that book and to follow it while at the same time ordering the death of billions, and hell for even more. Where is your sense of justice? Where is your deserved righteous indignation? Is it buried beneath your fear of divine consequences? Has the deception and manipulation by promises (false) of heaven, and the fear of hell prevented reason and common sense from any way entering your strong mind? IT is all a spell, and you have no ability to escape yet.

"I hope someday lose that despicable faith behind and soar free like an eagle, where no prison nor bullet can put fear in you, nor the threats of hell."

Thank you for the strength that you are trying to impart, but I say that it is the very faith that I grow that has allowed for this you'd impart to me to have taken root in my life.

I do not hate that Book, but do hate the lies in it that drive people to such animosity for it.

To me, that is the intent and purpose behind the tares found within it, and only those that will persist on and through the sludge of lies will likely gain clarity to discern what is truth, and what is lie.

The liars that are responsible for such corruption must run the same gauntlet reserved for all of us, or so I have been shown.

Yes, I will stick with growing this Faith that has preserved me so intact, despite all of my ignorance, and former wickedness that would have seen me throw such away...
