It’s starting to look a lot like sabotage.  If the goal was to ruin our way of life, dismantle everything that made America great, and drag us all into a gay, trans-sexual whirlwind, the government media and corporate bosses couldn’t try any harder.  We have to be “flexible” enough to abide another round of emergency mandates.  The little twerp in a lab coat will decide.

I nearly lost it when I heard Nancy (Dad used to say she’d managed to get a permanent look of surprise on her face) say that the oil companies couldn’t be allowed to take advantage of the situation to roll back all they’re doing to “save the planet.”  Someday we’re going to find out that she can’t even save herself, let alone the “planet.”  They employ the term as if the “planet” is within their power.  None of these goofs can save the “planet.”  Electric cars aren’t going to do it either.  But if you watch TV you’d think that we have no choice.  And no, buying one won’t make you “iconic,”  but you might get stranded.

The government won’t call a temporary halt to the egregious taxes on gasoline, but the occupant is releasing America’s strategic oil reserves to bring the price down, temporarily.  Let’s hope we don’t need it.  What will it cost to replace, or are there any plans for that?  Buying oil from Venezuela and Iran?  Revisiting the Iran Deal, with Russia on our side of the table?  What on earth?

God blessed this country with massive oil reserves.  But everybody from the pretender to the corporations and the media is on board with paying enemies to produce our energy.  It’s the craziest thing!  It’s this green boondoggle.  Obviously the pretender is more anxious to keep the squad happy, if it puts us all out of business.

The Disney company is acting like it can demand woke nonsense and take on Florida. The state has passed legislation making it illegal to bring adult themes into the school rooms of little children.  Disney has made it their priority to abolish the law. They think that NOT teaching little children about weird non-sense is “targeting” them.  We grew up in a time that nobody would dare expose us to this clap-trap.  Not anymore.  Maybe you’ve seen the video of one of their executives saying that she has two “queer” children, and explaining that there need to be more “gay and transgender” characters in their movies.  Then YOUR children have a chance of turning out like hers.  Isn’t that exciting?

Glenn Beck made a point that bears repeating.  The activists didn’t go after Warner Bros, or Paramount, they’ve taken over Disney.  The company that provides entertainment for children and families.  The White House is taking a stand along with the Department of Education.  Children must be taught about all the weirdness at a tender age, otherwise it’s “tragic” and they’re being “targeted.”   They don’t need to know.  Neither do we.  Don’t tell us.

The mainstream has done everything to couch the war in Ukraine as simply as possible.  Ukraine good, Russia bad.  But Ukraine is hardly a haven for Disney “values.”  It would be entertaining for one of these undercover outfits to send a tranny to Ukraine to help out.  They don’t suffer this stuff lightly over there.  Neither Russia nor China are the least bit amused with our stated “values.”  But we’re not supposed to know that.

It used to be entertaining to lampoon the lunatics destroying freedom. It’s not funny anymore.  Last week’s Update warned about the media’s new discovery.  The occupant’s family has been banking vast sums from Eastern European countries and China for years.  It’s all documented, and will be made public in spite of the social media companies and the mainstream trying to silence word of it for years.  Only a few months ago, they’d cancel you cold if you dared Tweet or Facebook the stuff now making headlines.  They called it “Russian disinformation,” and you might just be “Putin’s puppet” if you were shown to be saying anything about it publicly.

But alas.  The flagship papers now admit that it’s all true, without accepting any responsibility for attempting to deceive the public.  The laptop from you know where is not “Russian disinformation.”  They’ve finally admitted it.  What we knew and understood before the last presidential election, banned from polite company by the big bosses is now the stuff of headlines!  They’re reporting things we knew two years ago and calling it “Breaking News.”  What a farce!

Uh oh.  Hunter will have to plead guilty to everything to avoid a trial that would implicate the “big guy.”  What a conundrum!  It couldn’t have happened to a nicer family.  Even with the millions, they can’t afford it.  Neither can we.  They call us “haters” if our beliefs line up with the Bible.  Sticks and stones…

Stand by to be refused service or canceled completely.  You might lose your job.  Maybe you’ll be kicked out of the store or restaurant.  Unless of course you’re willing to bow down to every new mandate that someone dreams up.  Then they might just leave you alone, temporarily.  Better not draw any red lines that you’ve already decided not to cross.  Red lines are not allowed.  When the authorities agree on what you must do, the media tells you why you must comply, and the corporations (or local businesses) demand you come to heel if you want to access their products or services, you know you’re stuck.

Take a look at the things that our nation has determined that we will all accept, or at least not make a stink about.  Evolution.  Global Warming (along with the attendant worship of windmills and solar panels). Abortion.  Homosexuality.  Transgenderism. Multiculturalism, diverthity, rioting and looting, mandatory masks, social distancing… What will they demand next?  And the big question.  Will we be prepared to accept the next mandate?

If you look at the list of things we’ve been made to choke down, you’ll realize this has been a long game.  Our whole culture has gradually gotten us used to the idea of compliance with every clap-trap demand.  The enforcers are not necessarily even government agencies or officers.  Sometimes the places we go to buy what we need or want are the enforcers. It might not even be a manager or employee of the business.  It might well be some angry female on aisle 9 throwing a raging fit at you.   She’s screaming her head off, thankfully somewhat muffled by her N-95, about “keeping everyone safe!”

“Somebody call the cops!”  Not long ago the “woke” logic went like this.     Why do you need a gun?  All you need to do is call the police and they’ll handle it.  Lately we’ve been shown that doesn’t work.  (It still works in East Texas, but this is the exception.)  Good luck in the big cities.  Now the “woke” crowd demands the police be abolished or defunded.  Who you gonna call?  What if black lives matter and antifa decide to come to your middle-class neighborhood at say, 3 am, shouting through bull horns that you need to get out of your house and surrender your belongings to them.  That’s already started to happen in Seattle and Portland.  Mobs are assembling in the wee hours to bang drums and scream profanities at confused, groggy residents, waking their kids and the dogs, telling them they’ve got to give up their residences, trying to get them to come out onto the street.  No word if any police showed up.  Probably not.  It’s Seattle and Portland after all.

They’ve got all the answers on the west coast, all right.  They’ve apparently replaced some of the traditional power plants with their lovely windmills and solar farms.  Trouble is, they don’t make enough power for the cities (what a shock) especially when it’s really hot, as it is right now.  So there are rolling black-outs.  Just like the third world.

It looks as though the nonsense is going to keep coming.  After all, nobody is pushing back against every un-American, anti-freedom, un-Constitutional mandate they can dream up.  But it’s just getting off the ground.  Who’s going to put a stop to it if the people won’t.  This is the only last hope for avoiding utter tyranny.  Think they’re going to stand up in Australia?  Wait ’till you read the article in our upcoming WATCH magazine if you think they might.  The state of Victoria and the city of Melbourne have gone full police-state with dire penalties for anyone daring to break whatever new set of rules has been announced.  And they are incredibly dire and ruinous.  Crocodile Dundee must have been a one-off.  Even the British press is alarmed.  You think they’re going to stand against tyrannical nonsense in Britain or Canada?  Right.  Here in the U. S. we’ve seen a minimum of push back, but lots of, let’s say non-compliance.  A few have filed lawsuits, or refused to close.  So few that the police have been able to descend in force.

Rioting, looting, arson, marauding in sleeping neighborhoods.  That’s all fine, and so very non-violent.  But call the wrong pro-noun (oops, who could know for sure?) and that’s it.  You’re fired, and good luck ever working again!

Maybe you’ve got your own theory, and maybe you’re right.  But it looks like God has taken about enough abuse.  Not just from the goon squad in the streets, but from all of us who’ve stood by while our national sins have become symbols of pride.  A reason to parade!  Now we’re suffering the beginning stages of the curses that accompany such sins automatically.  There might have been some hope of turning back, on the other hand it looks a little late.

Once the “authorities” have got us used to bowing down for every bit of “woke” nonsense, how hard will it be to implement the scourges of the end time?  We’d better hope God knows who we are and approves of what we’ve done in these “trying times.”  Those who refuse the “mark of the beast,” which will be a global MANDATE, are the only ones who will receive His reward.  Some will be martyred for their rebellion against whatever stupidity awaits.  Mankind as a whole will reap the whirlwind, and worse.

We’re being asked, no TOLD, that we must accept total garbage as the truth, when we know better.  The nightly “news” anchors lie in our faces, and then roll their eyes about any who dare disagree with them.  They’re some of the worst offenders.  The time for quiet acquiescence to our national sins is just about up.  If we’re to “cry aloud and spare not,” we better start taking a look at what we’ve already swallowed.  If we relied on social media for traction, we would have long ago been silenced.  If the communists overtake us, they’ll track us down.  That is, if the lady at the grocery store doesn’t get to us first.   Have a great SABBATH.

Mark
