The Final Deception is Conservative and Religious

Politics are going according to the NWO's deceptive plan. Politics, History, and the NWO I’ve been taking a break from talking about politics lately, yet that doesn’t mean I feel any different about it. Being someone who doesn’t support Trump or the Dems makes it hard to get any traction with an audience. The truth is more nuanced than most people can handle. It is easier to simply pick a side and believe it without much critical thinking. Trump is speaking the common sense views of the majority of Americans who still have half a brain left after the many decades of brainwashing we’ve been subjected to. The big data algorithms have been gathering the views of every American, compiling them into meticulously organized data reports, so they know exactly what most people want to hear. The left are those who have accepted the brainwashed agenda without any critical thinking. They are the useful idiots the NWO has used brilliantly to create most of the problems that t...

The next war will start before the Boomer Gen passes away

The NWO will leverage the Zionist brainwashing the Boomers have undergone. It makes sense that the hidden hand or the shadow government would start the next war before the Boomer Gen passes away, as they are the ones who support Israel the most. In general, the younger generations don’t care about Christianity or Israel. Their programming is to care about themselves and technology. If this is true, the next war will start within an estimated 5-10 years. The youngest Boomers were born in 1964, so are 61 years old. The oldest were born in 1946, so are 79 years old. To note: That means the youngest of the Greatest Gen are 80 years old. 2025 is also the first of the Beta Gen. So, there is a limited window of time for the NWO to leverage the Zionist propaganda they worked so hard to install into these older generations. Although these older gens are too old to do the fighting, they will spearhead the political and social support needed to send off the younger gens to die. The NWO also caref...

Brainwashed Into Low-Functioning Morons

When being normal is deemed crazy in a land of morons. Stay in the present and hold the line, as the machine-gun fire of death could be heard ever so clearly. People were falling dead and maimed with every shot given by the hateful enemy. The gruesome scene was covered in scarlet and purple with precious jewels in goblets of wine. The ancient agenda, the lockstep effort, and the social engineering program were ongoing and ever-expanding into the ears and souls of hapless victims, born and raised in the lie. How would they ever know? When the truth was told to them, they simply heard nonsense, madness — how could that be? Meanwhile, the war was waging, silent weapons, deceitful explanations told by greedy sell-outs, ignorant fools, heartless controllers, and brainwashed simpletons. The society was full of low-functioning morons — the diabolical objective was working. Behind pretense and seemingly logical rational, the management of the morons continued into the dawn of a new age; a gold...

Between a Rock and a Hard Place in America

The inevitable cycle of conspiracy and deceit until sin and death are destroyed forever by Jesus Christ. The world is in between a rock and a hard place when it comes to politics and current affairs. There is no way out of the problems we’ve created without the majority of people walking in the Holy Spirit. As it is, the vast majority of people are walking in the flesh, including me too much of the time. The modern world has been created to take us away from the spiritual, from faith in the Holy Bible. Technology in the form of television, the internet, and smartphones are the final tools needed to thwart our faith and set us up for deception. The old-time Christian revivals, even just over a hundred years ago before television are essentially not possible anymore with smartphones around. Smartphones and technology are too stimulating and distracting for people to commune with God like we used to. In my opinion, real Christian revival isn’t possible anymore with this technology. The Ho...
