“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert.” –J.

Discerning Our Motivations
“… and he sent messengers before his face, and having gone on, they went into a village of Samaritans, to make ready for him, and they did not receive him, because his face was going on to Jerusalem.
And his disciples James and John having seen, said, `Sir, wilt thou that we may command fire to come down from the heaven, and to consume them, as also Elijah did?’
And having turned, he rebuked them, and said, ‘Ye have not known of what spirit ye are‘…”
The beauty of our design is that we are created to maximize our effectiveness in the context of meaningful relationships. This is especially important to remember in the community of faith. And in the community of Patriots.
In the hurricane of this communications battle we find ourselves in today, we need all of us working together in order to accurately discernwhat is important and map out strategies for getting to where we are going.
In the passage above, quoted from Luke 9, the Samaritans thought Jesus was their enemy because he seemed to be heading to Jerusalem. The disciples thought the Samaritans were their enemy because they rejected them. Neither were discerning what was afoot.
Being good students of the Torah, the disciples were ready to reenact an old testament prophet’s great moment of fame. Calling FIRE down on these filthy Samaritans!
Jesus has to rebuke his men. While I might not be able from the text to give a specific name to the spirit they were being deceived by, I’m pretty confident that we are dealing with the same spirit in spades right now. And we had better do both a head check and a heart check so that the Lord does not have rebuke us.
Discernment. We don’t have much of it. Those who are isolated from community are in the greatest danger of having our malicious enemy twist their perceptions of reality. We MUST work together to grow the best possible perceptions of reality.
Why do you think free speech is under attack? Could it be that the open marketplace of ideas is an existential threat to those throwing up smoke and mirrors around their work of dismantling all that we hold near and dear. I think it is.
A newer term for what Wolf’s Q Treehouse operates in every day is “crowd-sourcing.” That is to say, a group of people with a common interest all contribute their viewpoint, observations, even work-products to build something bigger than themselves. Each person has the potential to make a unique contribution to our emerging understanding.
This undoubtably poses a threat to those who want us in a fog of war. We can expect to see various “spirits” rise up and attempt to throw sand in the machinery. A spirit of offense here, a spirit of division there. Maybe even some deceiving spirits distracting our focus in the middle of a discussion that is about to unlock wisdom we truly need for this next season.
This calls for more discernment. May I suggest for those of us that walk with Jesus to ask him for a discerning heart and a willing mind to see with his eyes and think his thoughts about the world we find ourselves in? Think *3
“For God is my witness, how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.
And this is my prayer: that your love may increase ever more and more in knowledge and every kind of perception, to discernwhat is of value, so that you may be pure
and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ
for the glory and praise of God.” Philippians 1:8-11

This is a Hard Saying
47 “I tell you the truth, anyone who believes has eternal life.48 Yes, I am the bread of life!49 Your ancestors ate manna in the wilderness, but they all died.50 Anyone who eats the bread from heaven, however, will never die.51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live forever; and this bread, which I will offer so the world may live, is my flesh.” 52 Then the people began arguing with each other about what he meant. “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” they asked. 53 So Jesus said again, “I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you cannot have eternal life within you.54 But anyone who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise that person at the last day.55 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.56 Anyone who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him.57 I live because of the living Father who sent me; in the same way, anyone who feeds on me will live because of me.58 I am the true bread that came down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will not die as your ancestors did (even though they ate the manna) but will live forever.” 59 He said these things while he was teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.
“We are human, but we don’t wage war as humans do. We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments. We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ.”
We are told in the scriptures that we are at war. And we are told that we have the use of God’s mighty weapons. Weapons that are capable of shattering strongholds of thinking that are actively preventing people from knowing God.
And yet, before we can liberate the captives, we must first free ourselves from wrong thinking. Where are we agreeing to lies? Have we entertained the whispers of the wormtongue who seductively counsels us against standing strong in faith, hope, and love?
When you read/hear about entrenched corruption are your thoughts immediately oriented to the voice of wormtongue or better influences? Are you keeping your head in the game and asking, “Where is our maximal impact going to come from?”
What if we are meant to be the sheepdogs? What if God wants to partner with us to bring the “sheep” into the safety of the fold?
Please consider the following story that begins with two strong and godly women praying for their community to return to the goodness of God.
Their prayers shattered the strongholds in lives of the careless, pleasure-seeking people around them. And true heart-changing conviction was the result.
Let’s ask God to do it again! Think *3
Now I am sure that you will be interested to know how, in November 1949, this gracious movement began on the island of Lewis. Two old women, one of them 84 years of age and the other 82-one of them stone blind, were greatly burdenedbecause of the appalling state of their own parish. It was true that not a single young person attended public worship. Not a single young man or young woman went to the church. They spent their day perhaps reading or walking but the church was left out of the picture. And those two women were greatly concerned and they made it a special matter of prayer.
A verse gripped them: “I will pour water on him that is thirsty and floods upon the dry ground.” They were so burdened that both of them decided to spend so much time in prayer twice a week. On Tuesday they got on their knees at 10 o’clock in the evening and remained on their knees until 3 or 4 o’clock in the morning–two old women in a very humble cottage.
One night, one of the sisters had a vision. Now remember, in revival, God works in wonderful ways. A vision came to one of them, and in the vision she saw the church of her fathers crowded with young people.Packed to the doors, and a strange minister standing in the pulpit. And she was so impressed by the vision that she sent for the parish minister. And of course he knowing the two sisters, knowing that they were two women who knew God in a wonderful way, he responded to their invitation and called at the cottage.
That morning, one of the sisters said to the minister, “You must do something about it. And I would suggest that you call your office bearers together and that you spend with us at least two nights in prayer in the week. Tuesday and Friday if you gather your elders together, you can meet in a barn-a farming community, you can meet in a barn-and as you pray there, we will pray here. Well, that was what happened, the minister called his office bearers together and seven of them met in a barn to pray on Tuesday and on Friday. And the two old women got on their knees and prayed with them.
Well that continued for some weeks–indeed, I believe almost a month and a half. Until one night; now this is what I am anxious for you to get a hold of–one night they were kneeling there in the barn, pleading this promise, “I will pour water on him that is thirsty, floods upon the dry ground” when one young man, a deacon in the church, got up and read Psalm 24.
“Who shall ascend the hill of God? Who shall stand in His holy place? He that has clean hands and a pure heart who has not lifted up his soul unto vanity or sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing (not a blessing, but the blessing) of the Lord.”
And then that young man closed his Bible. And looking down at the minister and the other office bearers, he said this-maybe crude words, but perhaps not so crude in our Gaelic language-he said, “It seems to me to be so much humbug to be praying as we are praying, to be waiting as we are waiting, if we ourselves are not rightly related to God.“ And then he lifted his two hands-and I’m telling you just as the minister told me it happened-he lifted his two hands and prayed, “God, are my hands clean? Is my heart pure?“
But he got no further. That young man fell to his knees and then fell into a trance. Now don’t ask me to explain this because I can’t. He fell into a trance and is now lying on the floor of the barn. And in the words of the minister, at that moment, he and his other office bearers were gripped by the conviction that a God-sent revival must ever be related to holiness, must ever be related to Godliness. Are my hands clean? Is my heart pure? The man that God will trust with revival-that was the conviction. … [And God did come! Otherwise nothing would have changed …]
… But oh, if something happens that demonstrates God!
And the communists will hide in shame! I remember one night I saw seven communists–up until then they will spit in your face, talk about religion being the dope of the masses. Educated men. Wouldn’t go near a church.
But dear old Peggy had a vision one night and in the vision she saw seven men from this particular community from this center of activity born again and becoming pillars of the church of her father.
She sent for me and told me that God had revealed to her that He was going to move in this particular village.
Oh, yes, there were communists there, godless men there but what was that to God when God began to work He would deal with that. So she kept on talking like that. I said, “Peggy, I have no leadings to go that village. You know that there is no church there, and the schoolmaster is one of those men who would never dream of giving me the schoolhouse for the meetings. I have no leadings to go.”
And do you know what she said to me? She said, “Mr. Campbell, if you were living as near to God as you ought to be, He would reveal His secrets to you, also.“ And I took it from the Lord. Oh, dear people, it is good to get the Word within you. It is good to see yourself as others see you. That was how I felt. I said, “Peggy, would you mind if I call for the parish minister and together we will spend the morning together with you in prayer?” “Oh, I’ll be happy too.”
So we came and we knelt with her and she began to pray and in her prayer she said this–“Lord, do You remember what you told me this morning when we had that conversation together?” Oh how near she was God! “I’m just after telling Mr. Campbell about it but he’s not prepared to take it-You give him wisdom because the man badly needs it!”
That was what she said! “The man badly needs it!” And of course she was speaking truth. Of course I needed it. I needed to be taught. But I was at the feet of a woman who knew God in an intimate way. And I was prepared to listen. So I said, “Peggy, when will I go to that village?” “Tomorrow.” “What time?” “Seven o’clock.” “Where am I to hold a meeting?” “You go to the village and leave the gathering of the people to God and He will do it.”
And I went to the village and when I arrived I found a crowd around a seven room bungalow. I found five ministers waiting for me. And the house was so crowded that we couldn’t get in-indeed, we couldn’t get near it. And I stood on a hill in front of the main door. I gave out my text: “The times of [this ignorance God winked at] but now commands men everywhere to repent and because he hath appointed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he hath ordained.”
I preached for about 10 minutes when one of the ministers came to me and said, “Mr. Campbell, you remember what you spoke about at five o’clock this morning out in a field in that wonderful meeting when you tried to help those that were seeking God?” I happened to speak from John 10:27 “My sheep hear my voice, I know them and they follow me. I give unto them eternal life and they shall never perish. Neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.”
He says, “Could you not go to the end of the house there are some men there and we are afraid that they will go mental they are in such a state. Oh, they are mighty sinners and they know it-they are spoken of here as communists.” And they say that three of them were here in the United States and went back communists.
I went and I saw seven men. The seven men that Peggy saw. And they were crying to God for mercy. The seven of them were saved within a matter of days. And if you go to that parish today, you would see a church with a stone wall built around it, heated by electricity and all done by the seven men who became pillars of the church of Peggy’s father.
When you hear someone only provide a part of the story, but without the rest of the details the entire meaning is lost? Did it bother you? This practice is rampant in our Mind Control Media (MCM) but has also entrenched itself so deeply into our culture that you might not realize how much has been undermined by it.
Everything from religion to law to government to science has been broken using this method. The horrific practice of reductionism in science particularly galls me. Nearly every paper I read in biology or medicine demonstrates that modern research is crafted to provide an intended outcome beforehand. A failure to review other possible mechanisms for a study’s results is so common, I doubt that peer reviewers or researchers even think much about it anymore.
It’s like using stick figures to illustrate a grand ballet and expecting everyone to just go along with the illusion. Most of the time the omissions slip by without much thought on our part, but a particularly glaring omission jumped out at me last week and I had to forgive the source as it was in the Liturgy of the Hours which is given to those serving in the Roman Catholic tradition to be read out loud/prayed each day throughout the year. It became part of my usual routine some years ago as I found it to be a good preparation for centering each day.
The omission in this case is the reading of only half of a sentence of scripture from the book of Acts, describing the event of Pentecost. Apparently this reading has been the tradition for some time as the teaching that accompanied it came from the 13th Century.
The picture of this event is completely changed when the entire sentence in verse 4 is given instead of stopping at the word “speak.” As you can see, verse 4 continues with “in other languages which the Holy Spirit made them able to speak.”
So, in the original text the story is about a group of local Jewish believers miraculously speaking in languages they were not familiar with and had not been taught. In the edited text (and I suppose thought of the Roman Catholic church) they were just empowered to speak. No hint of the supernatural gift described in the context given in the scriptures.
Note, that anyone raised in that tradition might not even be reading the actual text of the Bible for themselves often enough to realize that it stopped in mid-sentence. To be fair, there is actually a time when Jesus is in the synagogue reading from Isaiah and only reads half a sentence, so it’s not without precedent. However, in Jesus’ case I believe the choice was to develop a prophetic focus. The motive for excising the miraculous from the text in Acts 2 could be more to avoid an awkward conversation. In the best possible light, the omission could be attributed to the earnest desire for the faithful to speak out the Gospel, but the violence done by the reading caused me some real anger. How dare they alter the text in this way!
This made me think of another way that using “short-hand” thinking on any particular subject opens us up to making judgements without a full understanding of the situation. When our thinking about something is missing key pieces we are open to error or deception. Like a gap in one’s armor, incomplete pictures of reality expose a weakness that can and does often lead to harm. Harm to not only our community, but also to the Kingdom of God.
When we think of “THE CHURCH” we often have a picture of people around the world that look like us, believe like us, sing the same songs as us, or read scripture the same way as us. And we are the poorer for this. Perhaps that is why I bring in images and practices from various traditions for my posts. When we see beyond our own culture we become better able to see with God’s eyes the world we are really living in.
The favored institutional churches of a particular locale have been persecuting their fellow Christians for a very long time. And rare is the church that doesn’t teach “against” some other faith tradition or other. How it must hurt the Father’s heart when the members of the Bride of His Son fight among themselves over non-essentials of the faith. And a house divided is weakened and Jesus says it cannot withstand adversity.
Maybe we could spend a little time thinking about who is edited out of our picture of “THE CHURCH.”
Do you think of the Chaldean Church in Iraq, Native Americans in Alaska or Charismatic Catholics in Canada? What about small groups of believers among the tribes living in the Amazon jungles? Or secret believers that have come to faith in Jesus while surrounded by an Islamic, Buddhist or Hindu culture.
As the oracle that is known as Q likes to say, “Expand Your Thinking.”
Think *3
You shall count for yourselves — from the day after the Shabbat, from the day when you bring the Omer of the waving — seven Shabbats, they shall be complete. Until the day after the seventh sabbath you shall count, fifty days… You shall convoke on this very day — there shall be a holy convocation for yourselves — you shall do no laborious work; it is an eternal decree in your dwelling places for your generations. – Leviticus 21:15-16, 21
Origin of Shavuot
“Though various Christian denominations commemorate Pentecost, many forget that it was a Jewish holiday before the Church was established. The name Pentecost comes from the Greek word for 50, but the Jewish name is Shavuot (meaning weeks or sevens).” Shavuot was a way for our people to offer their best to the Lord. In Exodus, God commands His people: “The first of the firstfruits of your land you shall bring into the house of the Lord your God” (Exodus 23:19a; 34:26). Further instructions regarding this offering of firstfruits (grain) are outlined in Scripture in Deuteronomy 26:1–4:
And it shall be, when you come into the land which the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, and you possess it and dwell in it, that you shall take some of the first of all the produce of the ground, which you shall bring from your land that the Lord your God is giving you, and put it in a basket and go to the place where the Lord your God chooses to make His name abide. And you shall go to the one who is priest in those days, and say to him, ‘I declare today to the Lord your God that I have come to the country which the Lord swore to our fathers to give us.’ Then the priest shall take the basket out of your hand and set it down before the altar of the Lord your God.[1]
Following the presentation of the firstfruits or “wave loaves,” Jews would recite a prayer of supplication, describing the bondage of their ancestors in Egypt, their deliverance and their dependence on God, who brought them to “a land flowing with milk and honey” (Deuteronomy 26:9). Read more …
Other Traditions
Shavuot is celebrated by both Traditional and Messianic Jews. Roman Catholics and liturgical Protestant churches both celebrate Pentecost 50 days after Easter Sunday. Following an older traditional calendar, Orthodox Christians celebrate Pentecost with an all night Vigil rich with symbolism. The church in Greece makes it a 3 day party you will want to be aware of if you are traveling to Greece on that weekend.
Think’s Thoughts
Trinity Icon
Considering the deep historical and spiritual meaning for this day, please ponder and think about celebrating our shared valuesfor honoring the scriptures as given to Moses, the prophets, and teachers in the Judeo-Christian traditions.
This was one of three feasts given to the people where they would take their harvest (produce from the land), travel to the temple in Jerusalem, and present it before the Lord.
Just to make sure this picture is complete, remember that their harvest was used in two ways, to feed the family (landowners) that came to present it, and some was distributed to the priests, the fatherless, widows, and temporary residents–those without land to provide for themselves. In this way everyone in the nation was able to use this time to enjoy God’s goodness.
Imagine, if you will, the value of these feasts. Creating a special event creates unity among the members of the family. Making it a vacation from regular work gives them time to rest and restore between seasons. Traveling to Jerusalem strengthens bonds with the rest of the people in their nation. Offering their first fruits focuses their minds and hearts on the appreciation they naturally feel for the gift of abundance, land ownership and freedom from the bondages of the past. Sharing with others who did not have land probably increased their gratitude for the land they now enjoyed.
Starting from the observance of Passover, they would begin the countdown to this extraordinary celebration. After the destruction of the temple, the focus for the Jewish people shifted from the focus of offering the produce of their land to the giving of the Torah. This is a a beautiful tradition where the night is spent reading and giving thanks for the scriptures, especially the book of Ruth. (This tradition is not found in the writings of Moses.)
Gift to the Believers in All Nations
It is in this context that the disciples were instructed by Jesus,–after the resurrection, and 10 days before Shavuot–to wait in Jerusalem for the promise of the Father, where they would be baptized with the Holy Spirit. As Jews, they knew of the upcoming Shavuot Feast. Devout people from all over were gathering in preparation for it.
I can imagine on this day in that upper room the sounds of travelers greeting and the smells of food being prepared kept their minds on the significance of the time they were in.
In some way, you might see these men and women as the first fruits of the harvest given to Jesus by the Father. Thus, as they pray, Jesus presents them to the Father, who responds by sending fire from Heaven to baptize them.
The sounds from the streets of Jerusalem are replaced with the roaring sound of a rushing wind, the Holy Spirit, and then the loud voices of the believers as they begin to glorify the Lord. They are so loud that people on the streets stop and say, “What is this?” which prompted an explanation that led 3,000 more to believe and join this new community. What an amazing day!

Before digging deeper into what is happening, and why it is leading to the Second American Revolutionary/Civil War, I will interject a few things that we must do immediately to be prepared for what is unfolding.
The most important thing we can do to be positioned and prepared for what is unfolding is to find our place in The Lord’s body, the church, and function in it. I have been preaching this for decades, but the longer we wait to do it, the more difficult it will be to do, and the consequences for not doing it will soon be greater. Knowing what is about to happen will not help us if we are not in the right place, doing what we were called and created to do. The church is still far from what it is called to be. Great change is needed, and great change is coming. However, those who are waiting for the change to come before they try to be a part of it will be in danger of being in the company of the foolish virgins who waited too long. Those who will play an important role in His body need to be part of the process by which the body becomes what it is called to be. To counter the spirit of this world that is bringing the darkness, we must move in an opposite spirit. We must resist the growing hatred by growing in love. We must resist the anxiety and fear by abiding in the peace of God and growing in faith. One of the primary ways we counter the spirit of division growing in the country is to grow in unity with The Lord and His people. It is not possible to be properly joined to The Lord and not also be properly joined to His body. A basic requirement to grow in a spirit of unity is learning to resolve disputes in the right spirit. Church is one of the primary places we are called to learn this. Those who leave the church because they got offended are usually the same ones who end up leaving their marriages, jobs, and just about any other commitment when things don’t go as they want. This is the symptom of the “spirit of divorce,” or “spirit of division” that we are warned about in Scripture. We must resolve that we will not let that evil spirit rule our life and thereby ruin our life. We must also resolve that we will not let it rule our country and ruin it. Divisions will come, as the Apostle Paul wrote to the Corinthians and the Apostle John wrote in I John 2. Sometimes divisions happen even between the best people, such as when Paul and Barnabas had a sharp division and parted ways. However, it is when there is a pattern of division that we must be concerned. This is an indication that one is operating in a “spirit of division.” These are those that Jude addressed: “In the last time there will be mockers, following after their own ungodly lusts. These are the ones who cause divisions, worldly-minded, devoid of the Spirit” (Jude 18-19). I personally moved in this spirit of division the first few years I was a Christian. I caused many divisions and was guilty of slandering leaders and other Christians. I was often right about my evaluation of the problems, but moved in a spirit that brought division rather than fixed problems. This was mostly because I was moving in a great amount of pride. My repentance started when I was shown that as I did unto the least of The Lord’s little ones, I was doing it to Him. I was then shown that what I was guilty of was far worse than anything those I criticized were guilty of. There is a saying that “any jackass can kick a barn down, but it takes a skillful carpenter to build one.” Have you ever known of a critic that started a revival? Have critics ever built anything of significance? Do you know of any who are celebrated in history? Many that The Scriptures call “fault finders” will have accurate discernment and are right about the wrongs that they see, but they move in a foul spirit that only does harm to the work of God and His people. Jude reminds us that “the deep darkness” has been reserved for them. It would be much better to be wrong about a lot of things than to be a “fault finder.” When Jesus saw what was wrong with the world He did not criticize or condemn us—He laid down His life for us. That will be the nature of the true leaders that He sends. As we are told in Ecclesiastes 3, there is a time for everything. There is a time to build and a time to tear down. The Apostle Paul said that he had the authority to build up or to tear down the Corinthian church. He had the authority to tear down there because he was the one used to plant and build them. The point is that it is the builders who have the authority to tear down. It is the builders who have the heart for something, so they have the right heart to know what needs to be torn down. In the transformation that is coming, a lot will be torn down. There is a lot that needs to be torn down. However, we should not try to tear anything down without having a clear vision and a good plan for building in its place. The Apostle Paul wrote in Philippians 1:9, “And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment.”“Real knowledge” and “all discernment” will only be found with the one whose love is abounding. For this reason, we will not have the knowledge or discernment that can help the church if we do not love it. Neither will we have the knowledge or discernment that helps our country if we do not love it.
I’ve posted Rick’s recent article in full as it seems to be a timely message. I don’t read it to say people need to find a traditional church (as in, an organization with a building) as much as it is saying we need to look around and see who we are developing deep connections with in the context of our whole life, including our faith.
There is a lot about to happen in this season. My prayer is that we will have done the inner work necessary to be able to handle the visible assignments that will be upon us before we can even blink.
A conversation yesterday on the Open Thread turned to observations on how America ended up where we find ourselves today. A faint shadow of the free people we became after throwing off the shackles of Britain and pioneering a new life in the New World.
We appear to have just avoided a point of no return outcome and now must not only fight out way back but engineer the safeguards to preserve that hard won place of restored freedom.
Most people do not understand the true nature of conspiracy. They will think “everybody knows everything, or nobody knew anything”. They have been made to think like CHILDREN by the Cabal. — from comment where Wolfmoon points out we have been blinded.
The reply from Kalbo summed up so many important points, I’m quoting it all.
It’s a whole new paradigm being exposed, or some better word…perhaps as simple as TRUTH coming to LIGHT for all to see. At the behest of Globalists, politicos with their adoring MCM have been feeding everyone well orchestrated BS for decades. President Trump was drafted expressly to end the US’ slide into oblivion…but a memory or footnote in history. MCM, Globalists, Uniparty knew this and tried to sabotage his campaign, and Presidency. Pure lies foisted on us from the highest levels. Truth comes out. MCM and Uniparty BUSTED. Half of America, seemingly shocked. But they now know the truth about muh Russia. For three years President Trump has been extolling the sheer ignorance of trade deals forced on us by crooked complicit Presidents – Papa Bush, Slick Willy, Baby Bush, and hussein. President Trump blatantly calls out the STUPIDITY of trade agreements and climate BS… The truth is obvious, we were sold a line of sh!t. And America was taking it all as gospel. America was sliding away…there is no magic wand, no more manufacturing, we’ll be a service economy… Wars are not necessary to win. The US does not need to interfere militarily around the globe to gain positive results. Let countries take ownership and their fix their own issues to secure their future. Allow regional countries to leverage their influence. MIC has been exposed and has lost great influence. Thankfully no name is toast. MS Lindsey and her ilk are throttled back a bit. No longer is the US footing the massive defense bill for countries we protect. Globally, the US has the greatest leverage of all. Economic. President Trump is wielding that economic club with brilliance and precision. Winning across the spectrum of of the economy and broader issues. More Internationally, countries around the globe are waking up to Nationalism and associated pride. Driving their focus to their roots. US, Britain, Australia, Italy… Many, many more countries. Nationalism is contagious. The EU is thankfully disintegrating. Germany will be cast aside for the damage they’ve inflicted. France is waking up. Inquiring minds may wonder…back home. With all of the economic winning, in every category, why has the MCM not trumpeted (no pun intended), how utterly stupid and destructive trade agreements were. America First is the obvious answer. Economic leverage the obvious answer to encourage other countries to behave, be fair… MIC destroys lives, countries and is a perpetual self licking ice cream come of destruction. — Reply to Wolfmoon by Kalbo
The warning could not be more emphatic.
BEWARE THE SIGNS OF BEING MADE INTO AN UNTHINKING PATRIOT BY FAKE NEWS. THEY DID IT BEFORE – THEY WILL TRY IT AGAIN. — from comment where Wolfmoon describes how our pride was used to blind us.
We must not miss this warning!
“See to it that no one takes you captive
through philosophy and emptydeception [pseudo-intellectual babble],
according to the tradition [and musings] of mere men,
following the elementary principles of this world,
rather than following [the truth—the teachings of] Christ.“
Our protection against deception is to ruthlessly reject any and everything that is not 100% true. No matter who says it. Not even our favorite Christian leader. Not even our favorite governmental leader.
It’s something you set your mind to be. Choose to love the truth even when it leads where you do not want to go.
Dear Lord, I say yes, strip away the veils over my eyes. I say yes, grant me the grace to see with Your eyes all that is truly around me. I say yes, draw me ever more deeply into Your truth every day. In Christ’s Name. Amen.
When we choose to open our eyes and see the reality around us we will not be popular. It may become uncomfortable to be around us–even when we don’t open our mouths. And I say, bring it on.

Remember – your greatest gift to President Trump is FIVE WORDS: I AM PRAYING FOR YOU
Safety & Security Sunday
While our Lion, President Donald J. Trump, fights for our safety and security here at home, the very same media that was fully outraged by (maybe) shootings in mosques in New Zealand is giving absolutely zero coverage of oppression on a scale we may find difficult to comprehend.
A day after militants ambushed a church and killed six, another attack in northern Burkina Faso targeting Christians has left four dead, including a church leader. These attacks on the church in the West African country, as well as others in the last few weeks, have invoked a state of panic among Christian communities in the region. : In the last 12 months, the increasing violence across Mali and Niger, as well as Burkina Faso, has led to a five-fold rise in the displacement of the local population. More than 330,000 people have left their homes, in addition to 100,000 refugees —creating what some news outlets have called an “unexpected humanitarian crisis.”
What a marvelous mystery. How can it be, for those who believe, that both our Nation’s security and the horrors endured by the persecuted church around the world, the path from darkness to light is the same? Prayer. Turning our hearts to God to find the courage to live true to our convictions and His leading.
“They called the apostles in, had them whipped, and ordered them never again to speak in the name of Jesus; and then they set them free. As the apostles left the Council, they were happy, because God had considered them worthy to suffer disgrace for the sake of Jesus.”
For the first couple hundred years of the Church the persecution was intense. There were no “career clergy” looking for a comfortable job with nice benefits. In fact, those dedicated to obedience to Christ in a leadership role were the first to be arrested. To be physically harmed. To be killed.
And so it is to this day in most of the world we live in. Even in America those who live by their convictions are the first to discover the cost of standing by them. And so we come back to our courageous world-changer President, Donald J. Trump.
He stands tall and fights even when he knows it’s placed him in danger of experiencing all of the above. Thank God for this man who lives by his convictions and is not afraid to enter into the battle space we find ourselves in.
Not only to fight, but to WIN a victory we all need dearly.

Stormy Sunday!
And yet very MOTHERLY MOTHER’s DAY
While the focus here may be on volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, and weaponized weather, there is a cozy place to go where reflections on the incredible mothers and other significant women in our lives has been launched by none other than our own amazing Daughnworks247.
Join in the fun here: Happy Mother’s Day to Doctor Lynn and Miss Lily.
In 2025, US aerospace forces can ‘own the weather‘ by capitalizing on emerging technologies and focusing development of those technologies to war fighting applications. Such a capability offers the war fighter tools to shape the battlespace in ways never before possible. It provides opportunities to impact operations across the full spectrum of conflict and is pertinent to all possible futures. The purpose of this paper is to outline a strategy for the use of a future weather modification system to achieve military objectives rather than to provide a detailed technical road map.
A high risk, high reward endeavor, weather modification offers a dilemma not unlike the splitting of the atom While some segments of society will always be reluctant to examine controversial issues such as weather modification, the tremendous military capabilities that could result from this field are ignored at our own peril. From enhancing friendly operations or disrupting those of the enemy via small scale tailoring of natural weather patterns to complete dominance of global communications and counterspace control, weather modification offers the war fighter a wide range of possible options to defeat or coerce an adversary. …
Technology advancements in five major areas are necessary for an integrated weather modification capability: (1) advanced nonlinear modeling techniques, (2) computational capability, (3) information gathering and transmission, (4) a global sensor array, and (5) weather intervention techniques. Some intervention tools exist today and others may be developed and refined in the future.
It would be wise to keep our hearts prayerful concerning our world’s weather. Since the election of President Donald J. Trump, we have seen some extreme and even bizarre hurricanes, wildfires, and other phenomena that one can only hope were not expressions of unconventional and unusual covert warfare.
Give Adonai his due, you who are godly; give Adonai his due of glory and strength; give Adonai the glory due his name; worship Adonai in holy splendor.
The voice of Adonai is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, Adonai over rushing waters, the voice of Adonai in power, the voice of Adonai in splendor.
The voice of Adonai cracks the cedars; Adonai splinters the cedars of the L’vanon and makes the L’vanon skip like a calf, Siryon like a young wild ox.
The voice of Adonai flashes fiery flames; the voice of Adonai rocks the desert, Adonai convulses the Kadesh Desert. The voice of Adonai causes deer to give birth and strips the forests bare — while in his temple, all cry, “Glory!” Adonai sits enthroned above the flood! Adonai sits enthroned as king forever!
May Adonai give strength to his people! May Adonai bless his people with shalom!
What Does This Mean?
Earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis and extreme weather have always been given spiritual meaning by those affected by them. These forces, when experienced up close and personal have a way of bringing into clarity how very small we are.
And that is just about the time we begin to look beyond ourselves for something bigger, anything that can help us give meaning to our suffering and regain some sense of safety.
The seventh Angel poured his bowl into the air: From the Throne in the Temple came a shout, “Done!” followed by lightning flashes and shouts, thunder crashes and a colossal earthquake—a huge and devastating earthquake, never an earthquake like it since time began. The Great City split three ways, the cities of the nations toppled to ruin. Great Babylon had to drink the wine of God’s raging anger—God remembered to give her the cup! Every island fled and not a mountain was to be found. Hailstones weighing a ton plummeted, crushing and smashing men and women as they cursed God for the hail, the epic disaster of hail.
Not even insurance contracts are atheistic with their “Acts of God” exemption clauses. Right or wrong, is it any wonder that we blame God?
But things are likely far more nuanced than this simplistic perspective. There is also a reason for “Acts of War” exemption clauses and a reason why warfighters talk about collateral damage.
A quick search at Qmap.pub on the keyword, “weather” appears to only have 3 hits, and most likely for all three the term weather is a euphemism for warfare activity. However, it would be interesting to review the weather conditions following this post last June.
What Then Should We Do?
Earth phenomena intrudes on the “just and the unjust alike.” May I propose that for those of us that are drawn to pray for peace for the people of the earth–especially in the context of earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, extreme weather and related phenomena–that we learn to discernnot only God’s heart, but also utilize available research material to develop our awareness of what is going on and how it all might be connected.
There is a large body of scientific work available for the curious mind–thanks to the internet–that past generations would never have had access to. And some citizen-analysts have used that access to not only become deeply informed, but to develop astute alternative working hypothesis about how things work, along with new predictive models. And–based on the push back–public access to their work might even be a threat to the controllers of the world.
As a prime example, may I recommend DutchSinse for not only big-picture, earth movement observations in near real-time, but also for his highly informed analysis.
https://twitter.com/dutchsinse/status/1125425034724556800
For almost a decade now Dutch has been finding correlations between not only solar activity and deep earthquakes, but earth movements and major wildfire activity, and also how deep earth movements lead to surface earthquakes with strong predictability, especially where there are breaks in the earth’s crust. He also gives basic disaster preparedness tips near the end of most of his videos. I find his passion for educating others along with his passion for accurate reporting of sensor data both engaging and entertaining.
If you would like to sample his work without taking up an hour or more for an entire video, the 8:30 min point on this May 6 video is a good place to start. Also, don’t forget, you can use the settings gear to change the playback speed to 1.5x (or higher). I often run his videos to the side of my main work so I can pay attention when I catch him saying something new or interesting about our earth’s current activity.
Apparently his observations make some of the FAKE SCIENCE shills uncomfortable. He’s had the typical harassment we have been seeing so frequently online including the demonitization of his YouTube channel.
I wonder who would NOT want us pray with understanding about what’s happening in and around our planet?
Clearly some interesting things are going on. Note that this guy is from a SOROS NGO. So this is like detaining one of their own, IMO. FAKE HOSTAGE.
Doctor Quigley (@CarrollQuigley1 on Twitter) is just tearing this thing to pieces. It looks like China/Cabal stagecraft to me. Incredible. And THAT tells me a lot that – well – I kinda figured.
Here are some tweets and retweets from his timeline:
I’m going to make a list of four important points about Hollywood – (which was to a large extent ideologically molded by communist RUSSIA, and is now significantly owned by communist CHINA, although being uniquely developed by AMERICAN communists) – and elaborate on those four points for your interest.
Remember – this is from the viewpoint of somebody who has been substantially RED-PILLED by CUTTING THE CABLE (for two years), but who keeps his eye on Hollywood at a safe distance, and who has now been exposed to a small amount of current network TV over the broadcast channels. My points:
1. Hollywood’s main purpose is now POLITICAL REEDUCATION
2 Hollywood now reacts in REAL TIME to fight MAGA, patriotism, and conservatism
3. Exposure to Hollywood products QUICKLY undoes red-pilling
4. Satanists, following POWER, are now moving their influence to CHINA
I will address these in order. Let’s go!
Hollywood’s main purpose is now POLITICAL REEDUCATION
One has to look no further than the “First Man” movie controversy, wherein the American lunar landing was “de-flagged” for globo-reasons, to see that the Hollywood leftists are more informed by their throbbing global hearts, than they are by even the most basic of historical truths.
The people who created “First Man” were clearly NOT educated back in the days before the Soviets and Chinese had taken over American education from the inside. Back in the old days, BASIC FACTS MATTERED. Nowadays, not so much.
Cuckish outfits like Red State may provide explain-away logic that says it’s all about the global ticket money (subtly implying that this makes it all OK), while HuffPo and Town Hall seem to accept the PR angle that it was about “being globally inclusive”, blah, blah, blah. Economically OK or morally OK – take your pick of “OKs” and “well, that’s liberals for ya”.
Allow me to submit to you the proposition that our failure to push back on these edge cases is EXACTLY why we’re in our current MESS.
I WILL ADMIT (perhaps even proudly, from the “classic liberal” left ventricle of my periodically bleeding heart) that the very idea of Neil Armstrong’s immortal words “That’s one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind.” really WAS globalist in its intent. Nothing wrong with that. Profundity required it. Realistically, every ENEMY of America helped put us there, when you think about it.
Why not be inclusive and humble? The greatest significance WAS ultimately human.
True. But the SECONDARY message was deeply American, and it’s IMPORTANT. I think that altering the most basic truths to make way for some people’s larger ideas is exactly why there is a revolution in America right now. This kind of socialist thinking – this “social justice” thinking – where individual truths DIE for the greater “good” – is utterly destructive, unjust, and self-defeating.
Been there, done that, and nothing good comes from it. It’s like a LOAN from the devil. Buy now, pay later. And PAY you will.
I would like to offer an alternative explanation, which I think is also PART OF THE TRUTH HERE. I think the CHINESE MONEY IS SPEAKING ENGLISH. And I think it’s saying “Take out the American flag.” Nobody makes the social justice mistake better than the Chinese communists.
Marco Rubio’s gut negative reaction to the lunar flag dust-up, just like his gut reaction to the Confucius Institutes, comes (post bridge-collapse, for those who are REALLY paying attention) from his deep familial recognition that Communism was WAY more successful in infiltrating America than even the endlessly suspicious Cuban expat community realized. Think about how insidious THAT has to be.
Even if this influence by Chinese money is people hearing the money themselves, and saying nothing, but making decisions accordingly, I think the prevalence of Chinese money in Hollywood is changing and limiting what Hollywood can and will do. Hollywood can make things that are virulently anti-American, but it cannot make things that even trouble the sleep of a single Chinese censor. Not without LOSING support from all sorts of places.
It doesn’t matter whether or not somebody said out loud “DO IT – REEDUCATE THEM!” The fact is simple – we are not just watching our reeducation – we are PAYING FOR IT.
Get rid of it. DO NOT GO TO HOLLYWOOD MOVIES. If you have to, turn each one into a VICTORY for our side by deconstructing it and throwing the communist propaganda back at them in pieces, ready for public understanding. If you have to see one, make sure 100 or 1000 people DON’T SEE IT.
FACTS MATTER.
Hollywood now reacts in REAL TIME to fight MAGA, patriotism, and conservatism
It looks like American justice is now being saved by a “conveniently widowed” woman who doesn’t need a lesbian plot-line [YET, I should say], and a marriage-quality tall/dark/handsome Muslim who complains along Democrat lines without sounding too complainy.
Don’t worry – there are other women in the show who can carry the lesbian torch, because the entire management seems to be women, some of whom are quite likable in that realistic “yeah, she’s a lesbian, but she seems like the only truly competent person around here” way.
Sounds like propaganda? It is. And THAT is before you figure out that not only are they attempting to save the “progressive gains” that constitute the Mueller FBI – they are even trying to save Andy McCabe, Jim Comey, and Robert Mueller THEMSELVES. Oh, wait – that’s the same old FBI that WENT AFTER TRUMP.
I actually like the storytelling of the new “FBI” drama on CBS. I admire it, and even allow myself to enjoy it.
But let me tell you – this show is absolutely LOADED with first-rate communist/globalist propaganda. Watch this with even a modicum of skepticism, and the agenda comes tumbling out like it can’t WAIT to shed the body armor.
Demonization of the American military. Promotion of the “crazy vet” exit lane – which is one of the MASTER STROKES of communist propaganda assault on our institutions. Re-telling of history in left-friendly terms. “Poor Muslim” at EVERY. SINGLE. OPPORTUNITY. Oh, there is more. MUCH MORE.
All of this from ONE EPISODE.
It’s not like there’s not a place for women and Muslims in the FBI. But COME ON – the agenda here is just so THICK you can cut it with rolled eyes and face-palms.
The fact that such well-made propaganda could appear this quickly after James Comey, Andy McCabe, and Robert Mueller got into trouble for their CRIMES and BIAS – it should really shock you. This one is very slick, attractive to people who voted for Trump, hijacks the “law and order” appeal of Republicans, and appeared just in time to start DEFENDING FBI CRIMINALS, with production values that put the old “FBI” to shame, even adjusted for advances in television over 50 years.
Hollywood is reacting to Trump, to re-educate you in WEEKS to MONTHS. The FAKE NEWS may react immediately to counter narratives they don’t like, but Hollywood comes rushing in after that, ready to FIX YOU.
People – unless you are able to easily SPOT propaganda like this, I think it’s very important to AVOID WATCHING IT.
And I say that before my next point.
Scene from “The Deprogrammers”, a fascinating Outer Limits episode providing a brilliant demonstration of the utility of controlled opposition. Science lesson for today: Almost everything about our reality seems to be constructed based on principles of controlled opposition.
Exposure to Hollywood products QUICKLY undoes red-pilling
I have now been able to observe a BATTLE between the left’s best weaponized psychologists and YOURS TRULY, over the MIND of my WIFE. Because I strenuously avoid propaganda opportunities for the left, it’s very hard if not impossible to get to me directly, although they do try (and it’s very funny and useful to watch that process, because it gives away a LOT of information).
Far easier to go through my wife, who provides them with certain irresistible opportunities. I can watch those things and see how well they work, and – shockingly but not surprisingly – they work QUITE well. The left is desperate – absolutely DESPERATE – to UNDO what Trump did. They do NOT hide it.
I don’t want to give away TOO much about what works and what doesn’t, but I think it’s really critical for people to realize that “they” have made their PROPAGANDA extremely ENTERTAINING. If you GIVE IN to the entertainment, they will CHANGE YOU without going through your REASON, your LOGIC, and your DISCERNMENT.
One who desires freedom must not only cut the cable, so as not to PAY for the poison, but may even have to cut the BROADCAST as well, so as not to get the poison for FREE.
Although I think it’s entirely possible to make this backfire. Not that I would do such a thing. Necessarily. Oh, heck – it’s FUN to make it backfire!
And now, a POPCORN moment from SCHADENFREUDE INDUSTRIES.
Satanists, following POWER, are now moving their influence to CHINA
I have to be careful here. I have a WONDERFUL WINDOW into the actions of satanists and pedophiles, and I REFUSE – absolutely REFUSE – to give it up or shut it down. The best part about it is that I don’t have to go digging for it – once I figured out who was who, and how the influence works at non-binary levels (that is one of the big tools of CONSPIRACY THEORY, folks), I can just pick up a paper and watch them do their thing. It’s like watching moles move through the yard at a depth of 1 inch. They think they are hidden – they are NOT. Q was absolutely right about SYMBOLS.
China is a golden opportunity for these nasty folks, and the nasty folks know it. You think the MONEY WORSHIPERS fell for the China thing in a big way? STAND BACK! For people of a blood-thirsty and cruel mentality, CHINA is like the Wild West. China and the ChiCom party may try to fend off (or invite in) the satanists, but a nation of body organ thieves and dyed-in-the-culture corruption CANNOT resist their seductive venom. Sadly, the ChiComs are about to get the FULL ALINSKY, where they enjoy the “blessings of the dedication”, too.
These ChiCom party leaders are IDIOTS for throwing away the protection of religion, and most of all their independent Christians. Germany did it (turning against their Jews, too – always a huge mistake), and BOOM – pretty soon branches of their military were wearing DEATH’S HEADS on their officer lapels. It is very easy to let satanic forces and ideas slip in, and China is almost defenseless now. Ban the open religions, and the hidden ones take over.
So, my “schadenfreude” here is definitely a bit phony and regretful. We will likely be seeing China turn into the next Nazi Germany if they don’t deal with their satanist soon-to-be masters. And, sadly, I don’t think Chinese pride will let them. They underestimate what they are up against. Even if they are certain the panda can toy with the asp.
Controlled opposition. It’s BIDIRECTIONAL. And it NEVER STOPS.
So there you have it. My insights for the day. The product of waking up on the RIGHT side of the bed. Be careful what you watch. You will, in part, become it.

“Hollywood? Yes. I’ve heard of it. Interesting place.”
And I went to the village and when I arrived I found a crowd around a seven room bungalow. I found five ministers waiting for me. And the house was so crowded that we couldn’t get in-indeed, we couldn’t get near it. 
Native Americans in Alaska or Charismatic Catholics in Canada? What about small groups of believers among the tribes living in the Amazon jungles? Or secret believers that have come to faith in Jesus while surrounded by an Islamic, Buddhist or Hindu culture.
