Looking Down The Road

  We (and I) need to stop referring to our government like it's a separate entity - a thing all its own. "The Government" does not have intentions, motives, values, or morals. Only the people who operate in it do. And our government, especially, is supposed to be of "We The People". So, if our government is corrupt, it is the people in it who are corrupt. And since it is supposed to be a representative government (representing all of us) then perhaps it could be said it is we (in general) who have become corrupt and have lost our way. When the rudder falls off, the ship will go astray, guaranteed. Looking at our society, in general, it is corrupt. Morals have become meaningless. Respect is passé. Manners are an old-fashioned concept. And God (at least the Christian one) has been banned from public life. And instead of mutual benefits from cooperation, it has become every person for themselves. And all that matters is how much "stuff" you can accumulate in this lifetime. Is it any wonder that the pool of available candidates for public office has become very shallow? I know that there are good, decent people in this country. But most of them are in a state of shock. And they are hunkering down, unable to fathom where it all went wrong and what to do about it. Of course, I could go on and on about our growing materialistic secularism as the main corrupting force. And the way I see it - it is.

  But also, the things happening in the political arena are driving a wedge between people who should be recognizing their common goals and needs and working on that but are instead focusing on their different ideologies and shoving violently against one another, creating a divide that will soon become irreparable if it hasn’t already. The situation has nearly reached critical mass. I greatly fear the explosion that is sure to follow if the trend continues.

  Yet, still, I sense an impending backlash to all of this. People are growing tired of gridlock in DC. They’re tired of being labeled racist when they’re not. But they are being called that just because they don’t agree with your solutions to common problems that only suit you and your side. There is flat out no attempt at compromise anymore on either the right or the left. Both sides are equally guilty. And more and more people are getting tired of it. For way too many years, the majority of eligible voters have opted out of the system and refused to even vote. That of course, is making the situation worse because it gives greater voice to contentious minorities who only have their own best interests at heart rather than the welfare of the whole country in general. That must change. Instead of remaining on the sidelines and bitching from the peanut gallery about the results, everyone of legal status and age needs to participate in the process or forever sit by and watch as this country rips itself apart.

  So, all the above is a description of what’s happening. And what needs to happen to fix the problem. But here’s my prognosis for what will happen. I do sense growing unrest that may manifest itself in the form of a third-party movement. The best outcome of that would be a clean sweep of the bad actors involved in all phases of government riding us once and for all of their bad influence and representation. But I don’t see that happening in time to save us. I know our current President is taking on this daunting task, with the aid of a couple of branches of the military, as a part of a joint initiative with those services. How successful he can be in this remains to be seen. If he pushes too hard, those forces for a One World Government will kill him.

  What I do see happening, in light of our ever-increasing move toward secular materialism, is the eventual neutralization (self-destruction) of this nation and a sweeping victory for the forces advocating a “One World Government” (Code for Worldwide Dictatorship).

  That’s a scary thought, right? Well, it should be. I know there are those who are praying fervently for a different outcome. There are also some who are working hard to make sure it doesn’t happen. And they are up against a very powerful minority of elites working just as hard to ensure it does happen. However, the biggest majority of people are just oblivious as to what’s going on. And they don’t care one way or the other what happens (therein lies our doom).

  As for me, I’m trying to do my best to wake people up and prepare them for what’s coming down the road. How could I not? If I saw you barreling down the road at 100 miles an hour, and I knew the bridge was out ahead, wouldn’t I be morally required to do everything in my power to warn you? Well, this is me warning you. The bridge is out!

  I wish it would be possible to pray all these problems away. Or work them away. Or ignore them and hope they go away on their own. But, because of my religious convictions, I know better. My Bible tells me it’s coming whether I like it or not. And mostly we have brought it upon ourselves by distancing ourselves from the only one who could save us. But also, we have an enemy who is implacable in his intent to destroy us. The One World Government is his baby all the way. And he won’t rest until he sees it happen. Because he fully intends to make himself King of The World. And then force us to bow down to him and worship him alone.

  As the angels always say, “See you do it not!”
