There must be some kind of way out of this
Could somebody please show me the way?
I know a lot of people who are busy making plans for the next chapter of their lives, as if things will get back to normal any day now. I really, honestly want them to be right. I do. I’m not pessimistic by nature. I don’t enjoy wallowing in the doom and gloom. but I’m also not a fan of Pollyanna, or Miss Goody Two Shoes. I just can’t see for the life of me, how we avoid complete global meltdown of epic proportions. Let me list some of the more obvious points of concern.
1→ The brainwashing is so complete, we’re completely unaware we’ve been Brainwashed.
We are being and have been being brainwashed by the so-called media. Almost nobody working a paid job in legacy media sees their job as reporting news in an unbiased way. They actually see themselves as propagandists, and their stock in trade is disinformation. They have the willing cooperation of the government, the schools, the churches - let’s face it, nearly everybody alive has been so brainwashed, they actually trust the information they get from these people. Most people really don’t want to know the truth. Edward Curtin has a more detailed look at that here. It’s worth coming back to when you’re done here.
2→ The Constitution has been abandoned.
We no longer function as a constitutional republic. We are a de facto fascist state. The elected people in Congress are showmen, paid by filthy rich people I’ve named TROBeS,1. Some play bleeding heart liberals, some play neocon warmongers, etc. They do not make decisions, other than the one they make when they go on the payroll of the TROBeS. Once they do, they just follow orders.
3→ Our healthcare system is being systematically destroyed.
All we have available to us is stuff they can make money on. The system has been designed to give the appearance of care and protocols2, but what they really want is to keep you coming back for more of what they sell. Worse, the stuff they sell you has what they call “side effects” (a better name might be toxicities) that they assure us are “rare”. So many of us need more “care” to help us with our new maladies. We’re entirely on our own to treat illnesses and choose people who can actually help, not hurt. The left had been trying to remake healthcare into another centrally operated system of control for decades. They achieved their dream setup with Obamacare, which takes the worst of the big pharma companies, the big insurance companies and the media manipulator companies and combines them with the state operated enemies of the people, including the DOD, the NIH, Homeland Security, the CDC and the WHO, just to name a few. None of them are interested in healing us.
I have to give passing mention of the massive crimes against humanity done in the name of fighting a pandemic. There are those who believe - many of them, like Dr. Mike Yeadon, who believe the people who did this to the world are transnational criminals, and that their intent is to reduce the population of the world by more than two thirds.
Meanwhile, pharmaceutical companies have become amoral cash flow machines for the TROBeS. They have no interest in providing the kind of healthcare outcome you want. You want to be healthy, and to not have to bother with doctors, medications and hospitals. The TROBeS want long term cash flow. If you get cured, you stop generating that, so what they want is to keep you needing more and more of what they sell. It’s an extraordinarily profitable business model.
4→ Education provided by the government is laced with Marxist baggage.
Our system of educating our children and young adults has become a tool of the state to groom3 and indoctrinate children. The grooming is to encourage all kinds of the most hideous sexual degeneracy and debauchery imaginable. We are losing the abortion war, because for several generations, young people cannot imagine being limited to one person of the opposite sex for life. Monogamy and procreation are worse to them than fingernails on the chalkboard. They are anathema.
And indoctrination includes but is not limited to teaching, idealizing and encouraging every kind of left-wing ideal imaginable, and squashing, ridiculing, shaming and silencing every conservative way of thinking. This includes not only political ideology, but also moral as well. Christianity teaches that all are created equal. the left teaches that all white people are racists, and that only white people can be racists. And the left insists that there is a thing called hate speech, never pausing for a second to realize that in order to love what is good, you must hate what is evil.
5→ Rigged elections are ubiquitous.
Elections all over the free world have become on-demand world totalitarian takeover machines. They’ve honed the craft of election rigging to an art form. Nearly every election in every part of the world is manipulated and controlled by those who want power and choice for themselves, and not for the people who vote. Country after country is taken over by tyrants, not because the people who vote are stupid or uninformed, but because the rich and powerful want more wealth and power, and have no interest in what you want.
The TROBeS don’t even want wisdom, or happiness, or peace or love. Those things are just silly to them. They want money and power - period. They will never have enough of either, and they know it, but their value systems have no room for anything else.
6→ War, by all means
I posted —here— about the new kind of warfare that doesn't involve bombs and guns. If you haven’t read that, take a look later. But here I want to focus on the old fashioned kind.
A significant number of sane and courageous observers have posted newsworthy analyses of the developments in Ukraine.4 They have made it abundantly clear that Vladimir Putin may be the only clear-headed and logical Statesman involved in this thing, and that 'this thing' is just the latest in a long string of world provocations by the USA and her NATO allies. Wars - in this case the kind that involve guns and bombs - are what they are about.
I understand that statements like that may be deeply offensive to many people. I was once among them. I feel a deep sense of betrayal that my country - the so-called good guys - has been run by warmongers, who for decades, have rained death and destruction and ruin on country after country. I love the Constitution. I love the ideals behind it and the great men who led us to become truly a great country. But those men are gone, and that country is gone. We are morally wretched and soon will be bankrupt in every way.
To give some context for what I said about Putin, perhaps this video will help. Thanks again to Mark Wauck for bringing it to our attention. It’s long, but for just the part that’s relevant to Putin, slide to the 15:11 mark. Fascinating perspective from a former top level insider.

I want to make one point that almost nobody else is making. The warmongers in America assume that war is something that happens on other continents, and when they wage them, they are helping to spread freedom and democracy. What they actually spread is death, destruction and hatred of and for America.
But do they assume correctly that the bloodshed they provoke will always be an ocean away? Have they forgotten that both Russia and China have hypersonic missiles, capable of traveling at more than 5 times the speed of sound: key phrase, ‘more than’. In addition, weapons systems embedded in nuclear subs could be used to attack the mainland of America.
These delivery mechanisms have the potential of delivering nuclear warheads, but a more likely use of them would be more conventional ordinance. Could it come to that? I believe that it’s possible - at least as possible as a nuclear exchange. I believe Biden and his cronies have come to the realization that the US and NATO will lose to Russia decisively, unless they can find a way to withdraw without having to admit defeat.
7→ Financial Meltdown
Because of these things, the question of whether our monetary authorities can tamp down inflation and restore us to fiscal health is not strictly a question of money and markets and monetary and fiscal policy. To be sure, we are at an historic inflection point with them. But will we be able to survive the coming awakening of people all over the world who suddenly realize that the USA has been terrorizing the world for decades now?
Those overarching concerns aside, consider the financial state of our economy and markets. It has been clear for some time now that the financial markets thrive on a few things, including a sound currency and ample liquidity.
The US Dollar, which has been the best of the world’s currencies for decades, is now staring down the barrel of a loss of that hegemonic power to Russia and China. Russia is now able to start dictating terms to the world that will strengthen their economy even more than the stupid sanction regime has done so far, and to elevate the Ruble as an alternative currency for international trade, where virtually everything has been done in Dollars until now. China is in a similar position, as are potential alliances like the BRICS, which could band together to create a new currency (similar to the Euro, but with some kind of real asset backing rather than a pure fiat system).
So the sound currency part is about to be challenged like never before in my lifetime.
Now as to ample liquidity. We are in a classic rock and a hard place situation. Our response to COVID was problematic in the extreme. Nobody had ever locked the world down before, and the response from the Fed and the government was to flood the world with trillions of dollars we did not have. They feared a complete collapse of the system, and felt that they needed to pull out all the stops. Given the insanity of locking the world’s economies down all at once as the opening move, they were probably right in concept if not in degree.
But once the threat posed by COVID seemed to be waning, inflation, which had been tame since the Volker Fed killed the beast in the ‘70s, suddenly reared its ugly head. And now, it’s enemy number one! The Fed knows how to tamp it down, and knows it has to, but the catch is that the only way to do it is to tamp down the economy. And you do that by raising interest rates and removing liquidity from the economy.
The wishin’ and hopin’ is that they can get inflation under control without a recession or worse, a depression.
The financial markets lately have been telling the Fed that they’re being too cautious.
I have avoided getting too far down in the weeds on here, but for those who want some more meat, I recommend this sobering article., which closes with this point:
we arguably have years of hawkish inflation ‘surprises’ in the likes of the Fed minutes because of structural factors still being deliberately overlooked 12 months after the Ukraine war started. And things could get worse in hours, days, or weeks.
8→ Yet God is still in control.
Another thing that’s silly to them is the idea that there is an all-powerful, all-knowing, ever present God. They simply ignore any evidence to the contrary, and go about the business of pursuing money and power. They assume that life ends after ninety years, give or take, and they just cease to exist. No Heaven, no Hell.
And in case you didn’t know it, a lot of the enemies of Christ are in the churches. So they’ve ruined many of them too, just like they’ve ruined everything else. There are only two kinds of people - those who are conformed to the world around them, and those who have been transformed by God to become new creatures: in the world but not of it.
In case you’re unaware, a phenomenon being referred to as a revival has been occurring at Asbury University in Kentucky. An evening service didn’t end as scheduled, as students wouldn’t leave, and stayed to worship. And more people started streaming in, and kept coming and coming. It has overwhelmed the small university campus and will soon move to a larger venue. Is this a true revival? I believe it’s too soon to tell, but it does look promising.
I want to close by encouraging everyone to not only look into the Asbury phenomenon, but to consider your own spiritual walk. Paraphrasing what one Pastor I follow said, ‘The world is in such a mess, that nobody’s getting out of it unscathed without some kind of miraculous move of God’.
Will this turn into a world-shaking Christian revival? Could it become the move of God that saves the world?
It could, but what the seekers need to hear is the Gospel truth about Jesus. They need to hear and accept the Good News, and to understand that seeking to know and understand Him, necessitates a few simple but critically important changes. Here are a few steps I think you should take.
Pray to God, who, although He is unseen, hears every prayer. Tell Him that you want to turn from your sin, and desire to follow Him with your whole heart.
Follow up on that by starting to learn about Him. Bible reading and prayer are essential, but try to find someone who will guide you into the right ways of doing it.
Find a good church and start associating with it. Ask people you encounter what church they attend and why. Based on their answers, start attending some of the services and strike up friendships with some of the people there.
Become a disciple, which simply means one who follows and learns from another. Ultimately, you will come to know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
TROBeS - Tyrants, Reprobates, Oligarchs, Bloodsuckers and evil Sadists.
There are certainly caring and dedicated professionals in healthcare. The problem is the system that they are paid by. It’s really, really hard to stay caring and professional when the people you work for give you a choice between their way or the highway.

You said pretty much everything that’s on my mind and heart. The deepest pain personally was the realization that my beloved country has not been a champion of freedom and fairness in the world as I once believed. I’ve always ignored any criticism of our country as being simple envy, or propaganda by communist-type operators like Soros. To some extent it is, but after the total insanity of COVID 2 years ago I was forced to wake up. When I was challenged to see the damage that our foreign policy has done in the Middle East I resisted, since I had always simply “gone along” with whatever conservative policy was sold to me, whether NAFTA or the wars for “democracy” over there. Then when someone told me that our government was supporting and supplying ISIS and Al Qaida in Syria and that this has resulted in the nearly complete destruction of the Christian community there I was appalled. Now I grieve for my former ignorance but it’s an encouragement to read posts like yours and Mark Wauck’s. There may be little we can do except appeal to God but we must resolve never to be “good Germans”. Some day we will all give an account.
