Robin Hood

So we have another new controversy coming from the Biden Administration. Big surprise there. When have we not had controversy in his 20 months as President?

President Biden wants to forgive the student debt of thousands upon thousands of people who took out a loan of their own volition with a commitment to pay it back. But instead, now Biden wants the rest of America to be the ones to pay it back. Nothing is ever really “free”. It’s going to cost someone something.

The left is trying to make Americans believe it’s only the right thing to do to offer a hand up from the government to those less fortunate….you know; kinda like Robin Hood. But the truth is, this isn’t the ways of the Hood. This is, in fact, just the opposite of our beloved Robin and instead places the burden on those who maybe couldn’t afford to go to college themselves; or who maybe worked two or three jobs in order to pay off the loan they had promised to pay. It's called responsibility and we used to honor that.

This most recent action by the President, in itself is bad enough; but even more, Joe Biden does not have the authority to do this. It is flat-out unconstitutional. The Executive Branch does not have the "Power of the Purse". Congress does. Seems democrats don’t care about that these days. Pelosi once understood it. We have her on tape saying it, just a short while ago.

But to me, most troublesome of all is now the Democrats will begin their “shame game”. We have come to know it well. It's a means to look like they are the righteous ones, "on the right side of history"(they love that phrase). They simply start shaming people for not being loving and caring if they disagree with their agenda.

They did the same thing with allowing illegal immigrants and the building of the wall. Who cares about the Rule of Law? “It is simply the Christian thing to do,” they lecture. Funny how they get religion when they find it necessary. They voted God out of their platform at their Democratic Convention in 2012. But call Him back to convince us He would NEVER approve of a wall. They probably should read Nehemiah.

Anyway, I am sure their goals all sound well and good. But the truth is, it is all a break down of the thing that holds our nation together and what has made it so successful for almost 250 years – the Constitution. The truth is, these are all very dangerous actions; not only for us, but for the world.

Both of these endeavors, in my opinion, are about the same thing. “Forgiving debt” is the same tactic as what they did to get their way at the border. “Let ‘em in!” Just forget all about our immigration laws, I guess. Why in the heck do you suppose they want all those people to have free reign? It’s because they think they will then vote "blue". It is my belief that in both of these cases the left is orchestrating/buying votes.

Democrats, these days, don’t seem to care about the Constitution in any form. Oh they love to refer to it in word, when they find it convenient; but they don’t really follow it...kind of in the same manner as when they talk about God or the Bible. They bring it up only when it makes them look righteous or caring. It’s an attempt to make the rest of us look like heathens. Truthfully, for myself, this is why I am most weary of, because I know the opposite is true.

The truth is, they are intent on destroying Capitalism in this nation; and instead ushering in Socialism. How can I say that? They are following the methodology piece by piece. Come on! Think about it. Hillary Clinton did her college thesis on Saul Alinsky. You know; author of the book “Rules for Radicals” dedicated to Lucifer. Yeah, that guy. Obama, too, was a staunch supporter and believer in all Alinsky taught. Obama was raised in a Communist home, after all. He hung out with the likes of Bill Ayers. Biden is simply Obama 2.0 with most of the same people still in power.

It is time Americans wake up to what is really going on in our nation. They can claim to be the caring ones all they want, but when one destroys Capitalism, one destroys the American Dream. When one destroys Capitalism, one destroys our nation’s ability to continue to be the most benevolent nation in the world. Our nation must be strong if we are ever to help the world. It is really that simple. And that goes for aiding other nations financially, defensively, or in sharing the Gospel. We must have a strong, rich nation in order to do any of that. You don't help anyone by printing more money, just to give it away and place the burden on everyone else. They are in effect causing inflation, not stopping it. I believe it is intentional destruction. EVERYTHING and I DO mean EVERYTHING this administration is doing is weakening the strength of our nation. It is time to ask ourselves why.

So Democrat, go ahead and pat yourself on the back. Go ahead and shame the rest of us for taking the stand we take. You were once the party of free speech and open ideas. That certainly cannot be said any longer as we see the crushing of free speech in all manner of ways. And the truth is, most cannot or will not even see the change in the party that has been wrought by those that have a desire for something else....you know – to "fundamentally transform America". Most of us liked America just the way she was.  Instead, many Democrats continue to stand up and look for a way to defend all that has been broken in the last 20 months. Instead, they should be rethinking it all and saying: “Hey wait a minute! The Constitution IS important. You can’t do that.”

The left instead wants to throw the book at President Trump for far lesser accusations without any proof at all. Even Democrat, Alan Dershowitz, has said the accusation of breaking the Espionage Act is ridiculous. Members of their own party have consistently done far worse things than President Trump. 30,000 emails destroyed? Phffff. Just make a joke out of it. That is always what Hillary has done when things go awry. The thing is, Hillary wasn’t President and she had no business declassifying anything and she certainly didn’t have the right to have those emails on her private server….but just mock those that complain about it, and it will all go away. That has pretty much worked for her, because we have conditioned people to be so sensitive and to be afraid to speak out about anything; so they remain silent at all of these unconstitutional actions. Yeah! About those emails. She can keep the t-shirt.

Seventy-one million votes for President Trump? Just call those voters “fascists”. Half of America was already convinced they were nothing but a “basket of deplorables” anyway. Yeah, no – "deplorables" is not really a word, but Hillary said it, so it is now.

I really am trying to watch my sarcastic tone. But it isn’t easy. Things are going south fast in America. And no one seems to care. Or they aren’t paying attention. I do get it. The world isn’t an easy place right now. Life is difficult. People just want to be happy. But the thing is, we have stuck our head in the sand for way too long in efforts to be happy. That's how we got here in the first place. 

I kinda feel like those who are alive today and living in America are called to fight. I am not talking civil war...please don’t misinterpret the word. I am talking about fighting by paying attention, by voting, by speaking out,  writing and most of all praying...that kind of "fight". (Unnecessarily worried about misinterpretation? I don't think so. That is, in fact, exactly what they did to President Trump on January 6th- change the meaning of his words. That is their MO.) But the "fight" I mean is really all we need; and compared to what our ancestors did in the fight for liberty, our job is really pretty simple. 

Will we heed the call? Not looking too good if you ask me; but if we don’t do something, we most certainly won’t find happiness. Nor will our children and grandchildren. There really is no such thing as Robin Hood. God wouldn’t like his methodology. It’s contrary to everything He taught.

January 6th Attacks

The January 6th House Select Committee has really gotten under my skin. This made for television movie that the left has created and called a “hearing” is a joke. They are trying to make this side show look like it is an official court hearing, when it is nothing more than one sided political theatrics, with only one side presenting their case.

As I watched the two hour extremely biased production, I grew more and more aggravated. There were so many misstatements and accusations being hurled around, all to diminish the credibility and character of President Trump. Someone is obviously very frightened of President Trump running again. Truth matters and I am not one to let deceit stand. Let me list just some of the nonsense.

• Why did last night's orchestrated movie leave out Trump's words, "walk peacefully and patriotically over to the Capitol"?

• Why did the movie (supposed commission) leave out that Trump offered 20,000 National Guard troops, but Nancy Pelosi and Mayor Muriel Bowser, (who were the ones that had to OK that offer) turn it down? If President Trump hadn’t authorized troops, why was there a rejection of those troops, which was easily provable and even shown by the DOD? Liz Cheney admitted they had intelligence days before January 6th, that informed there could be violence, so why did Pelosi and Bowser turn down the help?

• Why did the movie show all the violence at the Capitol and then interject Trump's words that "these are fine people" at the precise moment of the worst chaos in the video? It was entirely OUT OF CONTEXT!! Trump was talking about the people on the Front Lawn listening to his speech, as being the "fine people" that were there. And what he saw and who he was speaking about was well before the riot took place!!! They were fine people!

• Why didn't the commission do a follow up questioning of the witness who was a film producer? This witness stated that the people he saw over at the Capitol were there well before Trump's speech ever took place....while the majority of the people were still mingling, enjoying the day, and even singing hymns on the Front Lawn.

• Why wasn't this information questioned further? It wasn't the same group! Why doesn't that matter?

• Why did the "Select Committee" hire a professional retired producer, James Goldston, from ABC to create their movie that is supposed to be a bi-partisan commission?

• Who paid the creator and producer (James Goldston) of this professionally done movie?

• Why was TDS afflicted Liz Cheney allowed to make it look like President Trump instigated this "insurrection" by encouraging his supporters to come and "storm the Capitol" prior to January 6th? When in fact, he was only encouraging them to come to the Front Lawn, listen to his speech, offer support for one another and wait for the results of the testimony and final count of the Electoral Votes.

President Trump was NOT attempting to "overturn the election" as media (even Fox) keep saying. I am tired of that choice of words. Trump only wanted the election accurately quantified.

On January 6, President Trump was giving a speech on the Front Lawn encouraging supporters as they waited to finally hear the slate of electors presented. Once presented, this would lead to states’ legislators testimony and questions, and possible contests (which is allowed) before then hearing the final word and acceptance of slates from the Vice President. This happens EVERY Presidential election! Legislators have a chance to contest election results at this time. It’s procedure! It is the Rule of Law. As example in fact, several Democrats contested the results of the 2016 election of President Trump when the slates were presented. It is a part of the process. Yet the left condemns Republicans for wanting to do what is Constitutional.

Instead, what the riots and breech of the Capitol did on January 6th, 2021, was PREVENT this testimony from going forward. Rather, it ended in a simple decision to accept the slates without discussion. It came quickly that same evening after the chaos was over and people were frightened – including VP Pence.

Who do you think gained from those riots??? It wasn't Republicans and President Trump! It prevented us from having a chance to hear what we were waiting to hear – testimony from the legislators. And the follow up decision as is the traditional procedure, ending in the final result of the election.

Now there is a difference in opinion in how this should be handled even among big time, federal attorneys. Therefore, we saw the disagreement with President Trump and VP Mike Pence. What we know for sure, is legislators have a right to contest, before the VP has the responsibility to make a decision in the election after listening to all testimony. Where the disagreement came this time, was in regard to whether this traditional procedure is merely theatrics, or if the VP really DOES have a right to speak and even disavow election results due to the presented testimony and slates presented. Apparently, Pence thought it only theatrics, President Trump wanted to hear the testimony before the decision was rendered. There were people who had committed to speaking and contesting the results. But it didn't happen and instead look at who gained from the riots that caused that neglect!! It was important to hear testimony, because half of America thought this was a fraudulent election. That should have been addressed and would have been, if not for the riots.

Perhaps the legal process of the election should be explained at this "hearing". (Yeah, right! Like that will ever happen.)

I am going to take a minute to explain what was Constitutionally expected on January 6th. A quick recap: After the election in November, the electors were required to certify their votes by December 14th, 2020. Those certifications are merely fluff –basically, all for appearance. In truth, the actual election was not finalized until January 6th, when both the US House of Representatives and the US Senate are REQUIRED by the Constitution to gather in session to finalize these votes from the slate of electors. If any representative has doubts or questions, they can contest the results at this time. It merely takes one person from each chamber of Congress – one Representative and one Senator to do so and bring this contest to fruition. Once contested, then a debate will begin among the legislators as to the reasoning and legitimacy. This could go on for several hours and can occur with each slate presented. Further, in some states there may have been two slates of electors submitted. It is up to this body to decide which one will be accepted. Finally, it is the Vice President of the United States that has the final authority regarding the outcome. In fact, according to the Constitution, the VP does not even have to accept either slate presented if there are two, but simply explain there is not ample reason to accept either slate, or any.

There was the possibility Vice President Pence would choose not to contest the votes. There is precedent for that. As examples, Richard Nixon did exactly that in 1960, saying it would make governance too difficult. There is also precedent of a Vice President, contesting to his own benefit of winning the election – President Thomas Jefferson did just that. Clearly, there is precedent for both scenarios. So it was not an oddity, or something unrealistic that President Trump thought this could happen.

For this election, there were multiple incidents that would have given pause to legislators or even Vice President Pence to not accept the slate of electors. With the suspicion of fraud across the nation, with the Supreme Court scheduling a date of January 22nd in Pennsylvania to possibly be heard, (two days, too late, after inauguration) and as well, with the problems that were occurring in Georgia – these were all reasons enough for the VP to not accept either slate of electors in those states. There were also pending efforts in Wisconsin and Michigan that could give the Vice President pause to not accept the slates.

This is what I believe President Trump thought would happen. If the VP would not accept the slates, after listening to credible testimony and concerns it would have removed the votes from Biden. But those votes would NOT be merely handed over to President Trump. Instead, they simply would not be counted. If that happened in each of the contested States, it would put the electoral votes back to where they were before all this chaos began on the night of the November 3rd election – with seven states in question. If all were not accepted, it would have left Biden with 222 electoral votes and President Trump with 232. If this scenario would have allowed to be played out, according to the 12th Amendment, the election would have then been given to President Trump. And that is all according to LAW! The riots hurt Trump, not Democrats!!! And Trump would NOT be foolish enough to orchestrate them!

So. This is why the people were gathered on the Front Lawn that day. This is why they were there in an act of solidarity and hope for an election they thought was stolen. People were there to love and celebrate America. They were there in hope and in prayer for the outcome.

President Trump was not the one behind the breech of the Capitol. It is my firm believe it was a set-up, with someone manipulating extremists groups like the Neo-Nazis, "Proud Boys", "QAnon" and even confused "Oath Keepers"; in effect "stirring the masses". The riots only kept testimony from going forward which over half of America wanted to hear. (This procedure is separate from the Supreme Court refusing to hear this case – which was a travesty, in my opinion, but that came later.)

NO, those rioters absolutely shouldn't have done what they did. But I believe there were leftists in the group leading and setting them up. I even believe the infiltrated and politicized FBI may have been a part of the stirring. Someone was opening gates and saying "Come on in." We aren't going to see any of that from the "Select Committee" fake commission report and the entertaining movie they have created for television. But there are also videos circulating of people being invited in to the Capitol by Capitol police!

Those that were there instead to riot and cause problems – the ones the film producer testified to seeing at the Capitol even before President Trump spoke – were the ones that changed everything. President Trump was not in control of these people or even aware, even though media and the groups themselves tried to make it look like they had a connection. That was simply publicity for them – a “look at us” desire. The riots took away the possibility of representatives ever being able to contest the slates. After that breech, it was all over. VP Pence had an excuse to do what he wanted to do all along without having to hear the hours of debate that could be coming. He could catch his plane, that he had had scheduled for some time. He knew all along what he was going to do. The riots simply ensured he could. (I am not saying he was a part of that. He simply utilized it.) This is where the friction with Trump and Pence began. It was a difference of views in how the election results and acceptance of the slates should be handled.

Now with this witch hunt of a "hearing", a despicable narrative and attack on President Trump all comes to the forefront again, just a few months before the November elections.

Personally I believe it is orchestrated at this time in order to try to side track us from 8.5 % inflation; $5.00 a gallon fuel prices; food shortages; a dangerous, disastrous open border; illegals being transported across the nation on tax payer dime to other states all across the nation, making us ALL a BORDER state; fentanyl overdoses increasing and child trafficking nightmares; an unwell, incoherent President and a cackling, bumbling Vice President; war in Ukraine and another war about to break out in Israel; China about to invade Taiwan; and this administration getting us back into the dangerous JCPOA (Iran Nuclear agreement). !!!

This circus is basically Trump's 3rd impeachment; the last two of which he wasn't even still in office. They are still trying to destroy the man. But carry on. Go ahead and blame Trump as our nation implodes with the left's new policy. Truth is, they overplayed their hand and they badly need a distraction. People are fed up and about to wake up because life is starting to hurt!

Why Does No One Care?

Well, now. Stew Peters and Dr. Bryan Ardis (chiropractor – he can’t prescribe meds) are suddenly at odds with each other. You know these two, right? The two gentlemen behind the *documentary* “Watch the Water”. “Watch the Water” is the video that recently made the rounds on social media claiming that Covid-19 is actually snake venom. I wrote about my concerns with this video in my last blog post.                        

Turns out Dr. Ardis (a little over a month after the video) is now frustrated with Peters because the plan to sell his vitamins and supplements was thwarted. Seems Dr. Ardis feels Stew exaggerated the narrative so much so that it scared people right out of waiting the two weeks it takes to order and receive the supplements promoted by Ardis. Instead, people are going to their local pharmacy to get the things listed at the end of the documentary. They are able to get them there quicker and cheaper. And why wouldn't they? You can’t make this stuff up.

Christian. We are being targeted with nonsense, because they think we believe nonsense. And it is all a distraction from what the real problem is….and the Solution.

They play on our fears. They use our gullible, trustworthy nature.

I wish someone would help me answer these questions.

• Why do Christians prefer to believe these dark stories? And ignore any light that might be shed on the fallacy. Even when presented with conflicting evidence that is indeed problematic?

• Why are no conservative media or new outlets not countering their theories, instead staying silent on either narrative? They seem like they do not want to “touch it with a ten foot pole”. If even someone with a respected platform would speak to this, it could put an end to the spread of these tall tales.

• Why is it always the same people at the root? People like Alex Jones of InfoWars and Mike Adams Natural News? Info Wars is one of the first entities, Ardis mentions in the “interview” with Peters.

• Why is it always the anti-vaxxers who are selling a product – vitamins and supplements? And no that isn’t a problem unless they are spreading lies or false narratives to sell that product.

• If someone mentions God or Satan, why do we automatically believe them without finding what doctrine they believe or with whom they are affiliated, or to which faith they may prescribe?

• Why do I seem to be the only Christian concerned with the scare tactics that are making the way through the Christian Church? Or am I the only one foolish enough to talk about it and thereby possibly help spread it?

• If we don’t talk about it, how do we stop it from spreading and deceiving even more people?

• Why does Ardis make time in his interview to  blame President Trump?

• Why is it the same people over and over, all aligned with other wild conspiracies?

• Why is it always a connection to anti-vaxxers?

• Why are good people connected to total nuts?

• Why does no one seem to care?

Of course Ardis is connected to Clay Clark and ThriveTime; Mikki Willis and Plandemic; Alex Jones and Info Wars; Simone Gold and the Frontline Doctors; People that are aligned with ReAwaken America Tour; and Scott McKay, and Leigh Dundas with Arise America Tour. Judy Mikovits who already had credibility issues? Why are they all connected, all with like events? What the heck is going on? And why does no one care?

When I saw the follow-up interview with Dr. Ardis complaining about Peters’ methods, I actually felt sorry for him. But then, I watched more. We should all be concerned with Peters and his agenda he seems to love to “stir the masses”.

I think so many Christians believe this stuff because they want to believe it. It supports, justifies, backs up something they already believe. Do we even care what faith Ardis follows? Are we just going to believe him without checking? He went to Brigham Young University. He is probably Mormon. He blames the Pope for all of this. We don’t care. He is anti-vax. Apparently that is all that matters. Or maybe it is that he is anti-government. Maybe that is why we should trust him. He makes us forget all about China and a scary World War.  We all know how easy it is to blame the United States government.

Well known churches are sharing this information. Even posting the movie Watch the Water to their websites.

It is the death of discernment. Who cares?

If we believe this, why would anyone believe us about anything else? The Gospel? Nah.

I hate to even include these links in fear of promoting the lies and deception. Do we really want to believe this stuff? This site doesn't seem to want these to be a hot link...maybe that is best. You will have to copy and paste.

The Truth About Disinformation

If you have followed my blog for any length of time, then you know I have been concerned about the conspiracy theories spreading throughout social media. There have been some very well done videos with some pretty wild conspiracies, but often times they are simply a more subtle narrative. Even more often than these seemingly professional videos, there will be a lone speaker, in an amateur or self-made video, telling us his thoughts. These are still well-done with someone obviously knowing what they are doing. As well, sometimes a false, or questionable narrative has been spread through an interview by a “news source” or pod-cast. 

I have written about the deceptions at length, so I won’t reiterate that here. But if you have read my posts at all, then you know I have been trying to understand the timing, connections, and the why of these narratives.  

I think I finally figured it out just the other day, when I saw former President Barack Obama deliver a keynote address at Stanford University. His narrative was remarkable (not in a good way); his delivery consistent with his continual habit of lecturing us and talking down to us. His speech was all about "disinformation".

He was lecturing us on the “conspiracy theories” and fake news that according to him only occurs in conservative media. As if he is the one who should be lecturing anyone on honesty or false narratives! Good grief. Please think "You can keep your plan," as one example.

BUT. He is actually able to deliver this speech somewhat convincingly, due to those videos I have written about. These narratives weren't as much concern initially, because people weren’t really watching or buying. But that has recently changed. I believe this is due to the fear over the pandemic. More and more people began to buy into the conspiracies. The more one promoted it, the more others joined. They began to spread like wildfire.

Now, I am one who has always believed that though these videos targeted conservatives, and especially Christian conservatives, it was far from conservatives making and distributing them. I have a conspiracy of my own. I believe it is the left that is spreading these falsehoods, and targeting Christian conservatives as a means to “stir the masses” and subtly attack the psyche of those already living in a level of fear. It is then that people begin to believe it and spread the misinformation themselves.

Now before I get labeled as a “nut”, myself, why is that so hard to believe? It is the long-held goal of communism/socialism, via the left, to “stir the masses”. It is Saul Alinksy tactics promoted by the likes of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama (both of whom have connections to Alinsky) who believe in these tactics and the ideals of “socialism” – the word "socialism", to be charitable. Fear and “stirring the masses” is a means to gain control. 

Think about it; though those in an effort to weaken America have used this tactic in recent times, it has actually been occurring since Biblical times, when Stephen, the martyr was arrested: Acts 6:12. “And they *stirred up the people*, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and caught him, and brought him to the council,”

These videos, once believed by conservatives, then get spread further, basically giving Obama the right to say some of what he said the other day in his disinformation speech. Because though Fox and other conservative news sources haven’t admitted these false narratives are out there, they really are becoming quite common. Instead, Fox and other media are simply pointing to Obama’s own lies, (as they should). But the fact is, there have been a barrage of false stories being spread by conservatives, albeit naively, and we shouldn't ignore that. We are enabling those who deceive. In truth, I think conservatives have been hood-winked. They are unwittingly joining the left by believing and sharing these falsehoods.

I believe this has all been intentional and by design. I believe the left is behind it, and most likely Barack Obama at the helm; or at least an active participant. Though you will be hard-pressed to find any information from search engines today about who said their goal was to “stir the masses” , (I think that is an intentional removal) it has been a well known tactic for generations. I tried to find the quote to source it; but the quote below, basically says the same thing about their goal. From the Alinksy plan: 

“[You must help]  the people in the community…feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and chance the future. [An] organizer must shake up the prevailing patterns of their lives–agitate, create disenchantment and discontent with the current values, to produce, if not a passion for change, at least a passive, affirmative, non-challenging climate. [You must] fan the embers of hopelessness into a flame of fight.”

Now think about it. This false information has been making the rounds since the pandemic began. They have grown and grown, the narratives becoming more and more wild. I honestly believe, this "disinformation" is from the left and it was all planned for just this moment. In other words, so Obama could eventually come out and be the savior. These crazy conspiracies gave Obama the right to say exactly what he said at Stanford. It gives him a reason to attack conservatives, and point to all the misinformation they are spreading. Everything in Obama's speech becomes valid. I think that was the plan. But in fact, though some conservatives may have bought in, I firmly believe these false narratives and conspiracies are created by the left to make conservatives and especially Christian conservatives look like we have lost all common sense. 

Their plan is working. We are deceived. It is time for us to clean up our act and be more careful. It is time for us to be alert and to stand. We all need to be more careful and commit to discernment in what we choose to believe. If we lack discernment, we simply need to make a commitment to more carefully research everything we are told. It isn't that difficult. We simply need to be willing.

If something just doesn’t sound right, if our beliefs of old are challenged, dismissed, or criticized, we need to listen to the warning buzzer in our head and check out everything we are being fed.

The false narratives have a purpose. They have to be intentional. Why else would someone  be taking such great lengths to see that they continue? We need to determine who is behind them, and refuse to promote them. We must always look for and care about truth.

Here We Go Again

There is another fraudulent video, once again making the rounds on social media. I had just been thinking it is time. They seem to come in spurts. I have tried to monitor the timing of these videos. Why do they seem to cycle just when they do? Is it a distraction from something else? Is it because there is a lull in current events, and someone wants to do a little stirring? What is the correlation to the timing? I would really like to know.

I don’t know who is behind these fraudulent and frightening narratives. I suspect it is someone who wants to destroy both America and Christianity. The left is the obvious culprit. They are certainly targeting conservative Christians and actually they have done this for decades. It has just never gotten quite this deceptive before. And too many are buying in. People are easily deceived when they let go of their Anchor.

Now I can list a bunch of names in hopes people will watch and be alert when they see something from one of these people. And if we are aware of who they are, hopefully we will actually dig deeper than simply believing what is being presented; really without any proof.

If someone has a history of problems with what they present, then we should expose that. We should at the very least question them. Now I do not know anyone’s motives. Maybe they are simply people who have been deceived themselves and they have no ill intent. Maybe they are the ones deliberately deceiving. I don’t know. I am simply saying these are people that I have found linked together with questionable messages that we had better research just a bit deeper.

I will list a few names that are mentioned in the most recent video that brought me to bring this to the attention of others with this post. The video is called "The Water" and the narrator is Stew Peters. Peters has a questionable reputation himself. Peters doesn't say much throughout the video, but asks the scripted questions at just the right time, as if he is hearing the message for the first time. He is interviewing a Dr. Ardis.

Many of these videos that have made the rounds are in regard to vaccines, or "Big Pharma" or both. In this particular video, they want us to believe the government is out to get us and our government is the ones behind "the China Virus" via our water. Yes, I said "China Virus". I think we need that reminder.

As a side note in conjunction with the video in question, please remember, President Trump, in fact, took the drug they are so concerned with in the video (Remdesivir). Further they haven’t completely stopped monoclonal antibodies, as stated in the video. The CDC and NIH have only stated they may not work against the Omicron variant. All of which is mute, because basically Covid is on its way out.

Anyway, below is a list of those with whom we should have concern.

• Alex Jones and Info-Wars – A well-known conspiracy theorist. One of the first to spread the conspiracy that United States was behind 9/11. It grew from leftists believing this narrative and eventually spread to the far right. Jones also fostered a conspiracy about Sandy Hook - that it never really happened. He ended up being sued for his lies about this tragedy, being required to settle with the parents who lost children in that mass killing. Christian, do you really want to believe someone like this?

• Stew Peters – talk show host. He has been hosted on Nick Fuentes show. That’s bad enough. Fuentes has a reputation of being an anti-Semite, and white supremacist. Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA, CPAC and Mike Pompeo have all given warnings about him. But Peters went so far in his attacks of people, even Fuentes had to rebuke him. This occurred at Fuentes's America First Political Action Committee, (AFPAC). And by the way, the "America first" agenda these people talk about, is not the same as Presidents Trump's "America First", or our long held belief in America First. AFPAC is not the nationalism of old. It was created because Fuentes got kicked out of CPAC for his rhetoric.

• Dr. Bryan Ardis and his page, ardisandidote.com, which I even hate to link or promote here. He is selling a product. These people are ALWAYS selling a product and they are deceiving Christians to promote their product. I have found this to be true, every. single. time. when I start researching a wild conspiracy.

• Lauren Witzke – A follower/promoter of QAnon, now working with Stew Peters.

And a few others who have been involved with questionable videos or narratives that have been making the rounds in recent years. And/or who have radical, conspiratorial platforms.

• Mikki Willis – who I have written about before.

• Leigh Dundas – who I have written about before.

• Scot McKay – who I have written about before.

• Wendy Rogers – Arizona Senator

We absolutely cannot let this continue. Good people are being deceived, if they are not deceived by these things, and aware enough to see through the lies, then still, their time has been stolen from them simply by watching. If they do not believe what is in the video, after they have watched, their psyche is still targeted and affected. It is just the way of things and someone knows this. Ideas linger.

Things that are warning signals:

• The videos/misinformation always contain an element of truth.

• They always share an unbelievable situation, but cloaked in truth so it makes it seem true.

• They always use fear.

• They always use a little “Christianeze” to make them appear as Christians. The attempt to target Christians is obvious, while they seemingly pretend to be one.

• They seek out those that already have an opinion, a bias, or a fear of the subject they are discussing.

• They target those who already believe our government is evil; they are going to make sure we “know" that it is.

• Vaccines, Big Pharma, and medical issues are often the theme.

How to avoid the trap:

• Pray and ask for wisdom and discernment before we ever even begin to watch a video, or read an article.

• Familiarize ourselves with known deceivers.

• Look for key words; a distrust of government; supposed experts are used. This is 2022; one can get anyone to say anything these days.

• Look for an element of truth, but wait and pay attention to the warning buzzer that is going to go off in your head, when they move to the next point from that seed of truth. The next point will be the deception. That Buzzer is the Holy Spirit. Listen to Him! And then research what you are being led to believe.

• Watch as you read for a wording that appears to make the narrative seem factual, but in reality is a safety net to keep from stating anything as absolute. Absolutes could bring lawsuits. They know this. They will use words like: "It has been stated"; "Seems to be"; "Known to be"; "possible"...etc. People get caught up in the narrative and ignore that nothing stated is definitive. They simply read it as fact.

• Pay attention and don’t excuse something contrary to Scripture.

• Don’t let them distract from the real enemy by offering a scapegoat or another guilty party.

• If you think it is too wild to believe, then it probably is.

Let me give you some examples. If they are trying to make the United States a bigger enemy than Russia or China, we had better think about that. CDC, FDA and NIH are far from perfect, but if we are blaming them, all attention and accountability is taken off whomever the real culprit might be; in this case China. We are basically giving China a pass, by buying into this. There is no need for repercussions against China, because everyone is sidetracked by an “enemy” that is far from as dangerous as China. Suddenly it's the CDC that gave us Covid-19 by poisoning our water, instead of the carelessness or an intentional bio-weapon from China

If someone in a video is one minute claiming how they listen to the Holy Spirit, but before it’s all over they are talking and placing importance on fortune cookies, we had better think twice. If they claim they are Christians, but something just doesn’t seem right, -  like using the F-bomb, or joking about the wrong thing, or acting in a way that is contrary to the Word of God, - we had better distrust them right then and there. Those are all things that are happening in all of these videos making the rounds.

In truth, I think they are mocking Christians….trying to see how far they can go with our gullibility. And trying just to see how far they can lead us astray. And then laughing about it all behind our backs.

It is intentional. They are “stirring the masses”. They obviously believe the only thing they need to do is mention God, or the Holy Spirit and the Christian will bite whatever they say, hook, line and sinker. They are trying to ruin our reputation as Christ followers. They are trying to make us look like fools. Otherwise, why? Why are there so many things within these videos, that are contrary to our faith, yet continually claiming our faith? They are playing us. We had better be willing to consider that fact. They always talk about evil, maybe it is they who are evil.

One more problem that I want to address is that many of these videos are being banned by social media and then anyone who shares them gets banned, or put in "Facebook jail". This doesn't demonstrate the video must be true! This is only aiding in the spread. Yes. We absolutely should be leery of Twitter and Facebook. They are liberal, or far left platforms. But when something is banned by these entities it simply convinces those already susceptible to believing the fraud, that it must be true. The banning of the videos is actually lending credence to the narrative and helping spread the phony narrative, because we already know Facebook cannot be trusted!

Good people are being deceived, drawn in and then going off the rails joining in, with little to no common sense. Nor are we trusting and allowing our own knowledge to rein ourselves in from being deceived. We must make a plan of what we are going to believe and stand by it. We must give ourselves boundaries. We must rely on what we have been taught from Scripture. We simply cannot continue to fall for "every wind of doctrine". And yes, that is what is happening.

In truth, these videos are distracting us from the Word of God, and instead leading us into anger and fear. When we make a habit of watching things without really even having any idea from where they originate, we are allowing deception to enter our minds. Why do we believe something from someone simply because they create a scenario and pretend they are experts? Why wouldn't we check out who they are, their sources and their connections? 

I am not going to link the video as I have in the past and risk promoting it. It gets removed anyway.  People aren’t going to believe me. They are more likely to believe the video. Honestly, in some cases it has gotten so bad, that when presented with the truth, some people still choose to believe the false conspiracy. Many want to believe these things. And I think when one aligns themselves so strongly to a worldly idea, they want to believe they are right. They want to be validated. And sometimes these videos do that. Someone knows about our need to be validated and they are using that need to attack us through lies and deception.

So if you watch this video, or come across it on social media, or even one like it, please do the things I mention in this article. We all need to think for ourselves and think critically. 

I am not saying we should implicitly trust our government, its programs and its agencies. Of course not. But neither should we sit back and believe they are evil and out to get us. WE the PEOPLE are the government in America. And we have means to be effective and control policy. We need to pay attention, not hide in fear. We need to put on the full armor of God and live our lives. We need to be active and then having done all, we need to stand. We need to apply the Word of God. That alone, will show us the destructiveness of these videos.

Yes, I expect something worse to happen in our nation. Yes, there has been a string of events that are dragging us down. Yes, there will be more. I am not saying there aren't forces at work against us. I am not saying we shouldn't pay attention or ignore evil. I am saying we need to be cautious about what we choose to believe. I am simply pointing out we should not get caught up in concern with the wrong enemy. Because it is ever apparent, someone seeks to distract us, to rile us, and to cause us to be afraid.

When we believe lies, when we are so easily deceived without demanding fuller evidence of truth, we are allowing the enemy to win. We are in effect joining the wrong side.

Connections Matter

Janice McGeachin, the Lieutenant Governor of Idaho, has continued to make waves and inflammatory news across the nation for her state and the governor of her state, Brad Little. She has fought him every step of her term, in pursuit of his job. She wants to be Idaho’s next governor.

Some of her antics have been downright foolish, catching the attention of news outlets from across the nation. For example, twice when Idaho’s governor left the state for a mere two or three days to attend an event out of state, McGeachin stepped in as acting governor. That is her duty as Lieutenant Governor, but she clearly overstepped when she created Executive Orders in his stead. The EO’s were contrary action to the way the governor felt the issues at hand should be handled. Little rescinded the EO’s upon his return. That was a waste of time and taxpayer money.

On another occasion while he was gone, she attempted to deploy the National Guard to the southern border. This, while Governor Brad Little was already at the border with eight other governors to discuss what solutions they might take to help with the border crisis. Yeah, that didn’t go well. She acted before she knew the correct procedure for such an action to take place. There needed to be a request from a border state to procure another state’s help. She had no authority to deploy the Guard. Janice quickly went silent on that one.

Anyway, there have been multiple issues, but you get the idea.   

I am sharing the video below, of an interview with Janice McGeachin and Stew Peters, NOT because I agree with it; but rather because I see so much wrong with it that I am simply astounded and now fuming. I don't think this kind of thing can be ignored. This is a classic example of "stirring the masses", and/or fear-mongering. But let me give you a little background of my concerns before we get to the video.

The rhetoric this guy (the interviewer – Stew Peters) uses in this interview is beyond excusable. The names he calls the cops, the judge and the hospital workers, actually anyone involved in this case is reprehensible. They are all evil in his mind and he doesn't hesitate to say it. I don't think I have ever seen anything so unfair and extreme.

But I shouldn't be surprised! Peters’ show airs on Nick Fuentes' streaming platform. You know Nick Fuentes the radical 23 year old that founded America First Political Action Committee (AFPAC). He was kicked out of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) as well as Turning Point, USA; reportedly due to his racist, anti-Semitic, and white supremacist views. He began AFPAC, he claims, as a "counterweight" to CPAC.

Now, let me be clear from the start. I am not saying McGeachin is a racist or a white supremacist. I know she says she is a supporter of Israel. That is kind of a no-brainer. One almost has to be pro-Israel to gain conservative support...especially in states like Idaho. But what I am saying, is she is being very foolish to align herself with these people. She often seems to act before she thinks. Not governor material, in my opinion.

McGeachin caught nationwide news media attention once again over a video she shared at AFPAC. She created a lot of discussion by even being involved there. People were understandably upset by her attendance via video. When questioned about it, at first she tried to say she didn't know who Fuentes was. You can watch her fumbling response in this video. Please take time to click on the link and view this short interview.

She seemed to be able to recover a bit from her fumbling when the reporter kept questioning her. But when her initial response didn't fly, she instead stated she shared her video at the questionable AFPAC to try to reach thousands of young people. Right. Like a six minute speech would influence anyone. The truth is when one joins something questionable in character or truth, one simply legitimizes the “bad apple” in question and justifies it to those who don’t know the truth. That is exactly what Janice McGeachin did with her video at AFPAC.

This woman is unable to express herself well in any interview I've ever seen her. She is like a Republican Kamala Harris, in my opinion. Babbling and inept. Trying to cover for the things she does not know. Listen to her with fresh ears and without bias. She says nothing of relevancy. Ever. Her entire campaign is nothing more than talking about masks and vaccines and attacks on Governor Brad Little. Truly! Where does she stand on other issues? Have we heard? Go to her campaign Facebook page and what you see is an attack on Brad Little almost every other post! Go to his page and you will find not one mention of any of his opponents.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And now we have this – a child endangerment case in Idaho. Interestingly, Stew Peters, the interviewer in the video below, spoke at AFPAC, too. If Janice was trying to distance herself from AFPAC (and she obviously was after the controversy that resulted from her speech) then she should never have done this interview with someone so connected to Fuentes and who is making the types of accusations that he is making. And let’s not miss an important point from the video. Even though she says she "shouldn’t be identified or connected with whom she shares a stage", (paraphrase) a few weeks later we find out SHE is the one who contacted Peters for this interview. Peters says in the video that McGeachin contacted HIM. Apparently she didn’t learn anything from her associations at AFPAC that quickly went south. Or, she simply doesn’t care.

As an aside, but important because I believe we should be careful with our associations: Nick Fuentes and Stew Peters are both aligned with Lin Wood...you know Lin, the guy who was a former staunch Democrat in GA, but just in time changed parties to come out as a “Trump Republican”. He’s the one who told all Republicans in GA to stay home and not vote in the crucial Senatorial race in Georgia after the debacle of the General Election. Like staying home would solve anything! Lin Wood is out to destroy the Republican party, in my opinion. And it is my view, that he helped destroy President Trump. And now once again, Janice is making a connection with Fuentes, through Peters who is aligned with Lin Wood. This, after trying to get herself out of another association with Fuentes. Does she think? Connections matter!! Her “at all costs” quest for governor is taking her places, she simply should not go.

Side note: Stew Peters is so extreme, even Fuentes had to reprimand him for comments he made at AFPAC.

This is the recent video of the interview between Stew Peters and Janice McGeachin regarding child endangerment in Idaho. Do yourself a favor and skip to the three minute mark to save some time by avoiding the long intro. The interview ends at twenty minutes.

Janice, with this video, is up to her continual, same old antics of politicizing and blaming Idaho's governor for things he doesn't even have means to control. She should know the governor cannot take steps into a private citizen's health. HIPPA applies to the governor too! Thank God! We do not want government involved in our health issues! While continually claiming to be the conservative candidate, she continually takes stances or endorses actions that are far from conservative. The governor should not intervene in private medical matters. Once again, that is something that would set a terrible precedent – as would her previous Executive Orders if they had been allowed to stand. Certainly Governor Little shouldn’t have intervened in the Baby Cyrus case (as this has come to be known) this early on. The situation resolved itself. The baby is already home. I thank God for that.

She acts like she thinks the governor can be some kind of dictator or something that has any power he might desire. She is attributing actions to the governor that he simply cannot take. Once again revealing her naivete for the task at hand – just as she did in her attempt to deploy the National Guard. It would be abusing his authority for the governor to intervene in a child custody case at that early point in time.

She is once again politicizing for her own gain. She's using this child to bash Brad Little once again! And again without having facts on her side. And that she condones Stew Peters heated rhetoric in this video is just as reprehensible as if she stated it herself. His language is so far out of line, and his later comment that he is not accusing anyone doesn’t negate the accusations he had already made throughout the video. He placed a thought in the minds of the viewer, and then he tried to retract it to protect himself from law suits. McGeachin did the same thing. Peters denies making accusations after he clearly did. And then he does it again! How blind does he think we are? 

He casts blame on the governor, the judges, the "corrupt cops" and the “psychopath doctors”. They are instilling fear and stirring the masses. Somewhere along the line this whole fiasco actually enabled the doxxing of not only this baby, but as well, law enforcement, social workers and medical workers were exposed. This, endangering the lives and livelihood of these people who were merely doing their jobs. That is not OK. When are we going to get tired of that type of behavior! Fuentes also ran the names in this interview with Janice, and included photos of people who were required to be involved with the case due to their job! I bet they would prefer to not have to be involved at all with something like this.

Isn't anyone else sick of these types of antics? This is all I have seen this woman do! I am so frustrated with it! This interview was not news; nor is it factual. It's opinionated, vile commentary. And this interview was actually taking place even as the baby had already been returned to his parents!

It seems they have not clue one about the baby’s return to his parents. Or if they did know, it appears to me they wanted to go ahead with their propaganda anyway in hopes that nobody would realize the baby was already home. I saw posts about the baby's return before I saw this interview...and the "time stamp" (for lack of better term) of the interview was after the baby was already home! They had to know, in my view.

Stew Peters even had to lead her through a point he was trying to make because she wasn't aware enough to catch it the first time around. And that is this: Peters was trying to say they were passing the baby off to a foster parent. I don't believe this to be true. I had just read info about what the hospital was saying as far as the baby's improvement and it was nothing about going to a foster parent. They were preparing the baby to go home the day before this interview. They may have had a foster parent lined up just in case it was necessary – covering all bases, as they should. But Peters said it anyway and the way he presented it, it seems they were trying to lead us to believe something that wasn't true. The baby went home the same day as this interview, not to a foster.

But even so, my point is this: Janice McGeachin wasn't even aware enough to catch on to what the interviewer was trying to lead her into saying. And yes. He WAS leading her. She missed it initially. And that is this: that if the baby could go to foster care then he could have been able to go home. Yes, duh! But there was no foster care. She missed the whole point of Stew Peters! When she finally caught on to his point, (one can literally see the light go on in her facial expression) she simply reiterated it, without offering any solutions or explanations, had it been true.

Throughout the video the two manage to get buzz words in that will inflame the viewer. They manage to sneak in an attempt to make it look like "the kidnapping" may have had something to do with the vaccine, because they know that will draw the ire of conservatives and be an attention grabber. But it didn't have to do with vaccines. The baby wasn’t taken due to a refusal to vaccinate. Nor does it seem vaccinations were even mentioned by CPS. The experts were concerned with malnutrition. Now the family was concerned they may force vaccinate the baby while he was at the hospital. But that fear was unfounded, in my opinion. Idaho does not have forced vaccinations. Especially forced vaccination of babies! No one in Idaho is forced to vaccinate their child in any form.

In the interview, McGeachin seemingly can’t wait to move in again with attacks on Governor Little, without any representation of facts. She even states that Christian pastor, Diego Rodrigues, (the well-known grandfather) didn’t mention Governor Little in his list of those he blames. But she sure did!! And she couldn't wait to do it as they ran the names and photos of those they blame in the background.  

Apparently Rodrigues did say however, that he thought the state is engaged in a child trafficking ring and equated it to trafficking at the border. This is so far out of line to me, it does nothing for his cause. This was ONE incident in which they may have errored. Come on. How much does this happen in Idaho? In a way, what he said with equating it to human trafficking at the border simply belittles what is actually happening at the border. That is a tragedy. And it belittles cases where CPS actually is needed. This is the rhetoric that enflames; and it has to stop.

Some questions I have from the video: The grandfather himself also said the state determined it was unsafe for the baby to go to foster, but then everything is twisted to make it sound like the baby was appointed to foster. He talks about the next press conference being canceled. But was the press conference canceled because they knew the baby was going home and perhaps they didn’t want that information released yet? Or did the family cancel the press conference? There are so many questions that simply don’t make sense. And these two seem to be trying to capitalize on this whole story. Janice is right about one thing. The communication is horrible. And I believe that is in large part due to people trying to make a political issue out of it and bolster attention for themselves.

There were several terrible accusations in the video. Janice was quick to say, “I will be looking into whether there was money involved.” But will she? What kind of an accusation is that!? In their sly, careful way, they have accused the state and specifically Governor Little of profiteering and then they quickly cover for themselves to say they are accusing no one.

The fact that the interviewer simply quoted, rather “paraphrased” a comment from Facebook from someone who claimed to have worked for CPS is not very professional – to be kind. I have worse suspicions than merely unprofessional. Peters didn’t even know if the amount of money that was stated in the comment was millions of dollars or billions. This certainly doesn’t support anything! It’s FACEBOOK...who even knows if the person that wrote the comment was whom they claimed to be. It is astounding he would use this comment and treat it as “fact”, instead of researching anything for himself. Think about that, please. He stated a random comment from Facebook as if it were fact - from someone he doesn't even know.

But let’s get to the heart of McGeachin’s attacks. Does the governor have the authority to be the one to instruct who will provide shelter care? This is a link from the state of Idaho that explains the procedure for shelter care in Idaho. This was the procedure that was followed. The baby was away from his mother and in the hospital for a total of six days. Yes, that is too long. Yes, it is heartbreaking this happened. But do we really know it wasn’t necessary? 

Peters and McGeachin claim this was done “outside of the legal process”. They claim that because the governor didn’t intervene that “makes him complicit”. And as I stated earlier, along with Rodrigues, Peters also equates it to child trafficking at the border. The fact that he implies Little and others are profiteering is actually shocking. So of course Peters then states he is “not going to make that allegation either”...that’s lawsuit material. But, in truth, he just did! And then he reiterated his accusations toward the end of the video. This seems to be the way of so many of these videos that seem only to want to “stir the masses”. The MO they always seem to use – instilling a thought and then denying it in order to protect themselves from law suits. But they have already placed it in to the minds of the viewer. I have written about that before. Too little, too late to deny it.

It is my thought that Stew Peters and Janice McGeachin were simply trying to "stir the masses" with this interview. They were misleading viewers and instilling anger; the rhetoric is so far beyond the pale blaming the Governor for human trafficking! Good grief!! And she wonders why he doesn't return her calls! It isn’t in her authority to do anything! Why should he call her?? He did have his attorney return her call. Good grief! After everything she has done, if I were Governor Little, I would only respond to her through my attorney too!!

People better wake up because this is a tragedy! And yes it's frightening and sad that a baby may have been taken from his parents but what these people are doing is equally as frightening. Yes, there were stipulations put on the parents that they must follow in order for the baby to go home. I am not arguing if that is right or wrong. I am not arguing the case for what happened with this family one way or the other. I think it is terribly sad; but I really do not have all the facts. Nor do any of us. I am only pointing out that Janice, once again, is using something to bash Brad Little with facts that are simply inaccurate and her rhetoric seems to be heating up further from what it already was.

McGeachin, at the end of the video, takes credit for the fact that she is simply trying once again to faithfully fight another battle against the Governor of Idaho. Supposedly it’s another call from the Lt. Governor, trying to clean up where Governor Little won’t. Ever the heroine, at least that is how she wants to be perceived. The truth is she is inserting herself where she doesn’t belong once again, making it look like she has power she most certainly doesn’t have. Distorting truth to make it look like only she is the one who actually cares, but Little is only out for himself. I believe the opposite is true and I am sickened by her constant badgering and attacks. Ever the heroine? No. Ever the campaigner!

One more minor thing. This video was shared by someone from New York??? About Idaho? What’s really going on? My suspicions over everything she has done is heightened.

I have tried to break down the fallacies in this video one by one. Honestly, I am starting to wonder if McGeachin isn't herself a paid agitator by the left. Truly! Who acts like this??? It is such a shame. Connections indeed matter. And her connections make me wonder even more about her and her agenda.

In all seriousness, she may very well be a good person. She may have the best of intentions. But in my view, she has demonstrated a lack of wisdom, a careless disregard for authority and her position, as well as the position of the governor; and an absolute quest to bring the attention to herself for campaign reasons. One thing I know, she needs to be careful with her connections and with whom she aligns... and she needs to learn to finish her sentences. We don't need a Republican Kamala Harris.

Finally, thank GOD this baby has returned home! And truthfully I don’t think Janice, or even all the protests/rallies had anything at all to do with it. The system simply worked it’s way through the proper procedures.

Hopefully the proper procedures will work in November, too.
