The Awful Truth: Cognitive Dissonance Will Be Our Destruction

Guest Post by Mary Christine

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge;
    because you have rejected knowledge,
    I reject you from being a priest to me.
And since you have forgotten the law of your God,
    I also will forget your children. – Hosea 4:6

We tend to believe what we want to believe, at least to some degree. I can’t say that I am any different. I wanted to believe that President Trump was who he said he was on the campaign trail. For a few months early last year, I wanted to believe the Q conspiracy. We all want things to get better without going through hell fighting for it. Some think that Putin really is the savior of the Russian people; and China, well China is not exactly what you might think it is either.

When I first heard that Israel was not the friend in the Middle East that I had been taught by my evangelical pastors, I wanted to believe that they were wrong. They were anti-Semitic. We need to bless Israel or we will be cursed. That is what I was taught by my pastor at the Community Bible Church where I was baptized in 2002. That was what all of the evangelical pastors were teaching.  I wanted to believe they were right.

I came across some things in the past couple weeks or so that have caused me to conclude that we are witnessing the most amazing deception I have ever seen or read about, at least to date.

We need to identify the Enemy because, if we do not know who our Enemy is, we lose. Sitting still and waiting is not an option. Doing that will only increase the chances the Enemy wins, and maybe in the short run, it does anyway. But maybe it is not supposed to win, yet. Maybe we still have a chance to put things off, at least for a few more years.  If we miss that chance, our children and grandchildren can point the finger at us and ask us why, if we knew this was happening, we did nothing.

We have been very well conditioned to keep our mouths shut about one of our enemies. Even so, this enemy still feels the need to push legislation that flies in the face of our 1^st amendment right of free speech.

SB1 Strengthening America’s Security in the Middle East Act of 2019 was the very first bipartisan bill introduced in the Senate after the government shutdown was temporarily stayed for 3 weeks, not only that, it passed 77-23 with only Senator Rand Paul to slow it down with his dissent. Apparently, nothing else was as important as this bill, which makes it illegal to criticize Israel. If you want to do business with the US government you must sign a loyalty oath in all 50 states. Did anyone hear about this? No? I thought so.

Why, if the State of Israel is doing nothing wrong is this even necessary? We can criticize our own government or any other nation in the world except this one? Just what are they up to that they need to clamp down so tightly on our right of free speech? While I am not big on boycotts I respect the right of others to do so if they wish. But this is about more than boycotts. This is about keeping anyone from saying anything bad about this country. This is not about being anti-Jewish.

The term anti-Semite is an epithet that is tossed about when someone is getting too close to the truth. It does not even apply because other Middle Eastern people are also Semites. It will lose its sting just as the word “racist” has lost its sting for many of us. A couple of my sources are Jewish followers of Yeshua, Jesus. They, along with any other Jewish follower of Jesus would be persecuted in Israel. There is still a remnant of Jews whose eyes the scales will fall off and they will also become followers. Many people involved in this deception are not Jewish.

The state of Israel is not the true Israel of the Bible. If it were it would not violate all of the Mosaic Laws and all twelve tribes would be living there. This is not about who is Jewish and who is not. I am fine with a country that calls itself Israel. I am not interested in seeing it go away. Israel is God’s problem and if it were not supposed to exist, it wouldn’t. If it is supposed to exist it will continue to go on without aid money and without suppressing our right to criticize it.

In the past few weeks a few different alternative media sites have been showcasing not just Israel, but China, Russia and the U.S. and how this tiny little state seems to be intricately involved in all of their nefarious deeds. Some specifically name Israel and some do not. We also need to realize how many of our own patriot minded people are deluded and are aiding and abetting the enemy without even realizing it (or even worse, some do realize it). I am going to link those sources, most of which are YouTube presentations (which I hope won’t disappear) I will highlight what I believe are the most important points but I urge you to at least listen to them if you do not have time to watch. There is far too much information contained in them for me to do more than then that.

This is so much bigger than I am and I think I needed to organize it so not only could I share it with the readers of The Burning Platform, but also have this information available to share with bewildered friends and family who are wondering why the “Swamp” isn’t being drained. Maybe it will convince them to stop looking for a human savior, because virtually all of the people in the political arena, regardless of which side of the fence they are on, are corrupt and on the take.

I will start with Catherine Austin Fitts who in a recent interview, went into detail about FASB56.

“The Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board (FASAB) which has released a Statement of Federal Financing Accounting Standards 56 (Standard 56); taking government accounting practices from laxly enforced reporting standards to a new benchmark entirely–expressly approved obfuscation of reporting and, in some cases, outright concealing financials.”

Basically, they are funding private mercenary armies and laundering money with this accounting loophole. Recently Blackwater took out a full page ad after General Mattis resigned as Defense Chief. The Military Times opined :

“In the January/February print issue of the gun and hunting magazine “Recoil,” the former contractor security firm Blackwater USA published a full-page ad, in all black with a simple message: ‘We are coming.’

Is the war in Afghanistan — and possibly elsewhere ― about to be privatized?”

Fitts went on to say:

“What they did was instead of doing a bailout, they created a structure where you can do a bailout everyday 24/7. They created an open pipeline back door to the treasury. One of the things they are going to say is “Oh no, no. It’s subject to aggregate totals.” No it’s not! First of all if you wanted to do secret things, you already have black budget laws in place. So you don’t need this. If you look at how they are doing this, there is lots of indication that they are laundering money in and spending it out. So let’s say in the middle east you are selling oil through the back door, you’re laundering those revenues through the DOD or other agencies. It’s a pattern I saw at HUD. I think they were laundering some of the drug profits through HUD. So this is basically an open running bailout. Under this structure you can transfer assets out of the federal government into private ownership and nobody will know and nobody can stop it. There is no oversight whatsoever! You can’t even know who is doing it!

I am telling you, they just took the United States governance model by accounting policy to a fascist government. And if you are an investor you don’t know who owns those assets and there’s no evidence to suggest that you do.  If the law says you have to produce audited financial statements and you refuse to do so for twenty years and then when somebody calls you on it you proceed to change the accounting laws on the theory that you can just now run secret books for all the agencies and over a hundred entities……If you are taking the US government books dark and the offshore havens are dark, what in the world is going on? It’s time for an audit. If healthcare, infrastructure, etcetera is going to be unfunded, I want to know what was that 21 trillion, where did it go?

 What happens to the dollar is irrelevant.  If you are in a system where a secret group of people can do whatever they want whenever they want including burn you out of your home or take your assets there are no property rights and you are in a slavery system. This is far bigger than ‘will there be a dollar or will gold go up in price because we’re creating a government structure that says we can steal your assets whenever we want. When I was focused on the gold markets, the GATA group wrote a letter to the treasury asking ‘do you reserve the right to seize gold?’  They came back with a reply on stationary saying “We reserve the right to seize all of your assets.”  This is about whether you will be allowed the right to own private assets. So my question is will you be allowed to have assets when this is all over?…They are changing the government structure to say that it reserves the right to not only debase and siphon off our assets but to take them outright.”

 “We have to stop passively sitting around waiting for someone to save us. The president cannot fix this, we need to fix this. Forget the fight between Republican and Democrat, if we all would just collaborate on running the money clean we could hate each other rich instead of hating each other poor!” If we want the U.S. to look anything like it did even twenty years ago, we have to do it ourselves.”

She begins explaining this new “accounting” trick at about 8:50 where she states that FASB56 was “The decision was to produce a statement from the Federal Accounting Standards Advisory board to come up with a policy that authorizes the government to, in complete defiance of the constitution and financial management laws to basically move certain things behind secret books, all the covered agencies, 156 related agencies are now permitted to keep secret books and we are not allowed to know who or by what process, all we know is that they can have secret books and the books we see are totally meaningless.

She goes into more detail later on in the video where I started quoting at about 28:00, if you do not want to listen to the entire 45 minutes. See the link to her website above where it will show you that not only are we putting money into the system but it is disappearing out the back door and we are on the hook for it.

There is so much more to this 45 minute interview that you should listen to. I have only quoted a good part of about 10 minutes and it is not word for word.

I have always had a problem with “black budgets”, and this is far worse. What are they doing with all of this money? Why are we sending billions and maybe trillions of dollars in aid to other countries at all? Personally, I think it is a type of extortion, or bribery to allow us to not only have military bases abroad, but to commit who knows what kind of nefarious activities that will benefit who? Not the general population of the U.S, that’s for sure, unless you work for the MIC.

So what does all this have to do with the U.S., Russia, China, Israel link I mentioned above? I’m getting to that.

Did you know that China has a fascination with the Babylonian Talmud and has been using it as a business model tool? While Christians and people of other religions are persecuted, Jews are admired and even celebrated.

“Greek clerics may blame us for wrecking their country’s economy, as the Forward reported last week. But in China, Jews are hailed as “very smart, very clever, and very good at business,” according to Newsweek.

“The apparent affection for Jewishness has led to a surprising trend in publishing over the last few years: books purporting to reveal the business secrets of the Talmud that capitalize on the widespread impression among Chinese that attributes of Judaism lead to success in the financial arts,” the magazine reports. Business-book shelves are dominated by titles like “Crack the Talmud: 101 Jewish Business Rules”, “The Illustrated Jewish Wisdom Book”, and “Know All of the Money-Making Stories of the Talmud”; a Talmud hotel in Taiwan even implies guests can absorb the holy book’s wisdom through osmosis. “Inspired by the Talmud theory, the owner uses red interior to add a splash of fashion and professionalism,” exclaims the hotel’s web site. “In each room, there’s also a copy of Talmud-Business Success Bible for anyone who would like to experience the Talmud way of becoming successful.”

Israel and China have a close relationship that goes back quite a ways.

 “In fact, the Rothschild family came to China as long ago as the 1830s, when it set up a small gold and silver trading business in Shanghai. In 1953, four years after the founding of New China, Rothschild was one of the first major Western banks to establish relations with the country.”

Recently, Trunews spent an hour exploring the relationship between China, Israel and how it affects the United States.

In their research they found that the relationship with the Jews went back as far as 600 years when they began migrating to China. The population is small but their influence has been far reaching.

The communist revolution did not necessarily spring up wholly on its own. Mao Tse Tung was surrounded by what has been called an Elite Inner Guard of a half dozen Jews, including the following people:

Israel Eptstien, who became a propaganda chief and was editor of the China Daily, a dominant state newspaper.

Sidney Shapiro, Mao’s personal interpreter.

Ruth Wiess, who set up Jewish schools and communities and translated Jewish texts into Chinese.

Sidney Rittenberg , Mao’s personal English translator who has also advised Bill Gates, The Billy Graham Foundation and Levi Strauss and has been estimated to be worth 5 billion dollars.

Rick Wiles goes on to state that between 1962 and 2014, the United States has given 100 billion in aid to Israel which they then have been turning around and selling our tech secrets to China.

A 1996 The GAO concluded that Israel “conducts the most aggressive espionage operation against the United States of any US ally.”

“Several analysts and anonymous officials have in recent weeks expressed great concern over a deal that will put the Shanghai International Port Group in charge of the port’s container terminal starting in 2021.”

“Netanyahu announced that the two countries will complete a free trade agreement next year, and that China plans to invest heavily in Israeli infrastructure, including new ports and a light rail.”

 The Chinese are now in charge of the Port of Haifa container terminal. Israel is downplaying this saying:

“Regarding concerns over the 6th Fleet abandoning Israel, Maor explained that unlike Naples, Haifa is neither a base, nor a repair station for the U.S Navy, and American ships only visit the facilities a couple times a year for shore leave”

But Edward Szal of Trunews puts it this way, “Israel found a way to monetize the “Goodwill” relationship of the United States to the point where they made millions..billions of dollars!”

It was also noted how closely they are working with China on Artificial Intelligence and security. China owns 25% of the intelligence firms in Israel.

Indeed…

“China has become Israel’s second largest trading partner, trailing only the US. Israel exported $2.8 billion to China in the first half of 2018, an 80 percent jump from the previous year. In the last two years, Israel and China have signed a breakthrough visa agreement, opened direct flights, and conducted hundreds of joint research projects.

Our bilateral relations are at a new height,” Wang said in a speech at the summit’s gala. “Our arms are wide open, for countries to innovate, to start businesses in China. Netanyahu announced that the two countries will complete a free trade agreement next year, and that China plans to invest heavily in Israeli infrastructure, including new ports and a light rail.”

Rick Wiles wonders if Israel, seeing that the US is continuing to deteriorate financially and politically, is turning away from the US and towards China, “dropping us like a hot potato”, or as Doc Burkhart put it “chuck the US like an old rag”.

As they collaborate together to work for a New World Order, or whatever you want to call it, is this how they plan to have our streets to look?

“Just as oil fueled the industrial age, data are fueling advances of the AI age. Many practical AI advances are “more about having a large amount of continually refreshed data and good-enough AI researchers who can make use of that data, rather than some brilliant AI theoretician who doesn’t have as much data,” says computer scientist Kai-Fu Lee, founder of Sinovation Ventures, a venture capital firm here. And China, as The Economist recently put it, is “the Saudi Arabia of data.”

The Chinese, through the sale of technology from Israel, and from the Clinton and Greenspan theft have benefitted greatly from the relocation of our industrial and technological base. Greenspan moonlighted as an overseer of China’s transition.

Doc Burkhart of Trunews stated “During the late nineties and around 2000, when Bill Clinton was President and Alan Greenspan was the Federal Reserve Chairman, Chinese technology exploded while at the same time Alan Greenspan was running the Chinese economy!”

I urge you to watch the entire Trunews broadcast: The Art of Talmud: Chinese Commies Seek Israel’s Babylonian Secret Knowledge

I think it is worth it.

Moving on to Russia and the odd Chabad connection between Putin and Trump.

But first, did you know that there are Chabad-Luvabitch centers in 12 different cities in China? That there are more than I care to count in Russia? As a matter of fact, they are worldwide. If you are like me, you might be asking “What is Chabad-Luvabitch ?”

“The Hasidic group known both as Lubavitch, after a town in Russia, and as Chabad, an acronym for the three elements of human and divine intelligence, Chochma (wisdom), Bina(understanding), and Da’at(knowledge), is not just the most successful contemporary Hasidic sect. It might be the most successful Jewish religious movement of the second half of the twentieth century… …The Conservative movement historically caters to moderate suburban traditionalists. But many suburbanites now find themselves more comfortable at Chabad’s user-friendly services. Once the source of a distinctive middle-class Jewish nightmare—that one’s child might come home with tzitzis, a fedora, and extraordinary dietary demands (an “invasion of the Chabody snatchers,” as a joke of my childhood had it)—Lubavitch is now a familiar part of the suburban landscape…For decades, the Reform movement has defined its mission as tikkun olam, “repair of the world,” understood not as metaphysical doctrine but as social justice. And yet it is the unabashedly metaphysical Chabad that opens drug rehabilitation centers, establishes programs for children with special needs, and caters to Jewish immigrants, to name just three of a seemingly endless list of charitable activities.”

That doesn’t seem bad at all. In fact, they seem to be doing plenty of good works. They also support each other economically, loaning money at no interest. We Christians could learn from them.

 “It also has enviable brand recognition. This extends from the distinctive black suits, untrimmed beards, and genuine warmth…But most of all, Chabad is recognized in the saintly and ubiquitous visage of the late seventh Lubavitcher Rebbe, Menachem Mendel Schneerson, which has become, almost literally, a kind of icon.”

“By almost any conceivable standard, then, Chabad-Lubavitch has been an extraordinary success, except by the one standard that it has set itself: It has not ushered in the Messiah. It has, however, been the source of the greatest surge of Jewish messianic fervor (“We want Moshiach now and we don’t want to wait!”) 

Some believe that Menachem Mendel Schneersen (the founder) who died in 1994 was the Messiah (they believe he did not really die).

“The Mishneh Torah, Maimonides lays out the criteria for the true Messiah:

If a king arises from the House of David who delves deeply into the study of the Torah . . . if he compels all Israel to walk in [its ways] . . . and fights the wars of God, he is presumed to be the Messiah. If he succeeds and builds the Holy Temple on its site and gathers the scattered remnants of Israel, then he is certainly the Messiah.”

The Mishneh Torah is an extensive commentary on the Talmud. Keep the part that I bolded in your mental parking lot.

Before we move on, for those not familiar with the Babylonian Talmud, it is a 6000 page commentary on the Torah or TaNaK. A very nice Jewish lady, Jana DeNoon, who is a follower of Jesus, recently gave a bare bones explanation of the Talumud. She also went a bit into Noahide laws which comes from the Talmud and how successful the Zionist lobby has been at convincing other countries, including the US to incorporate Noahide law into policy. As I was writing this essay, the DeNoons posted a new video

“to bring awareness to the Christian Body about Pharisaic laws and Noahide laws that we will have to face in the near future. “

Noahide law, which passed in the House and Senate and was signed into law by President George H. W. Bush in March of 1991, forbids idolatry. On the surface these seven laws seem innocuous. However, since Jesus is not considered to be God by Jews, Christians are believed to be worshiping an idol. If these laws were actually enforced, it would allow Christians to be decapitated as punishment for idolatry. U.S. Congressman Bill Dannemeyer was a witness and has provided an in-depth look into what the laws are and how this joint resolution came to pass so quickly that month nearly 30 years ago .There is also a United Nations Declaration on Noahide law dated June 2013.

Now some of you might begin to think this essay is becoming a Trump hit piece and as we already know, the Clintons had their own deals going with the Russians. We have been over and over that aspect and it’s become a dead horse. Even the Washington post covered the non-coverage of the Clinton connection to Russia back in February 2018.

What I am trying to show here is that there are strong links between oligarchs in different countries and the end game is some kind worldwide totalitarian system. What I believe we might be seeing right now is a war between fascism and communism. So please bear with me, don’t quit because you don’t like what you are seeing. I seriously doubt that Mueller will ever bring any kind of charges against Trump because Trump is holding a bunch of..ahem.. trump cards. He knows they are guilty of treason and probably has all he needs to expose them. It’s a Mexican standoff and we are the losers in this game.

In November of 2017, Washington Monthly published an article that linked four men to both Trump and Putin.  All of them are firmly linked to the Chabod organization.

Lev Leviev: known in Israel as the “king of diamonds” and currently suspected of diamond smuggling.

Roman Abramovich: owner of the Chelsea Football Club of the English Premier League. Ivanka Trump is reported to be close friends with his wife and attended the inauguration as her guest.

Tamir Sapir: immigrated to New York from Soviet Georgia in 1976 where he opened an electronics store that was reported by the New York Times to be frequented by KGB agents.

“Trump has called Sapir “a great friend.” In December 2007, he hosted the wedding of Sapir’s daughter, Zina, at Mar-a-Lago. The event featured performances by Lionel Ritchie and the Pussycat Dolls. The groom, Rotem Rosen.

Rotem Rosen: Reported to be the CEO of Leviev’s American holding company and his “right hand man.”

Even though it is not a long article, about a 5 minute read, it’s fairly complicated, so much so, I would rather you read it yourself.

In the beginning I mentioned that this is not just about who is Jewish and who is not. The Vatican is thoroughly ensconced in this mess as well as Evangelical Christians.

 Pope Francis Sent His Priests to Chabad Rabbi Riskin’s ‘Noahide’ Center

Last year we noted that, “priests were selected in cooperation with the Archbishops of São Paulo, Buenos Aires, and Bogota” to attend Chabad Rabbi Shlomo Riskin’s ‘Noahide’ Center in counterfeit Israel. The Archbishop of Buenos Aires at that time is now Pope Francis.

Steven DeNoon of Israeli News Live has reported that the Vatican is in control of Jerusalem all the while saying it supports the Palestinians.

“The end goal of the Vatican is to seize control of the Old City of Jerusalem out of the clutches of the State of Israel. To that end, they have a secret agreement with Israel which obliges Israel to respect the ‘extraterritorial’ claim to their physical presence in the city. In short, we have accepted the Vatican’s rights to have little Vatican sovereign embassies throughout our eternal capital of Jerusalem. That same Vatican has committed itself, in public and in a written agreement, to ensure that the Palestinians have sovereignty in the Old City of Jerusalem.”

Meanwhile the Sanhedrin has asked Nikki Haley, who was the keynote speaker at the last Christians United for Israel conference, to serve as their “Honorary President to the 70 nations” and has also issued a Nikki Haley commemorative coin. The Sanhedrin has finished building the alter for the next Temple. It is the evangelicals who belong to Christians United for Israel, a 5 million strong organization headed by John Hagee, who are behind the effort to help the Sanhedrin fund and build the new Temple of Solomon. For the love of all that is holy, why do Christians want to help build a temple that the Bible says the Anti-Christ will desecrate? While CUFI is far from alone in its partnership with worldwide Zionism, it seems to be the most well-known and well financed here in the US.

To keep the tired old epithet “anti-Semite” at bay, I keep these scriptures in mind remembering that The Apostle Paul quoted from the Book of Isaiah,

 ” Though the people of Israel are as numerous as the sand of the seashore, only a remnant will be saved.” Romans 10:27 NLT

And

25 I do not want you, believers, to be unaware of this mystery [God’s previously hidden plan]—so that you will not be wise in your own opinion—that a partial hardening has [temporarily] happened to Israel [to last] until the full number of the Gentiles has come in; 26 and so [at that time] all Israel [that is, all Jews who have a personal faith in Jesus as Messiah] will be saved; just as it is written [in Scripture],

“The Deliverer (Messiah) will come from Zion,
He will remove ungodliness from Jacob.” Romans 11:25-26 (AMP)

Do you find it difficult to accept the statement that all the major powers might be coordinating all of today’s wars and conflicts against each other to achieve a greater goal? President Trump keeps saying all the right things to keep his base fired up. But what are his actions telling us?

This essay is not about “evil Jews” it is about a worldwide effort between people, Christians, Jews, Muslims, Atheists, Russians, Chinese, and Pagans (the New Age Movement). Are they coordinating together with each other? Yes, in some ways, I think they are. Is there a division amongst them? Yes, I believe that is also true.

I surely can’t predict the future. It’s a big tapestry that is being woven and we are seeing it from the back, trying to connect the threads as best as we can.

After all the research and the effort to tie some of those threads together, I keep going back to the interview with Catherine Austin Fitts and wondering how much of the money in those back door bailouts is being used to fund nefarious activities related to the endless wars that Israel keeps wanting us to fight for them? When she told us to stop sitting around, she didn’t just leave it at that. At her website as well as in her interviews, she has related numerous things we could do that would begin to fix our problems.

“If we would collaborate together on running the money clean, we could hate each other rich instead of hating each other poor.”

It’s only too late if there is no breath left in your body. But it will take creativity and a willingness to believe in our hearts that things are changing faster than we ever imagined. What is keeping us in our chairs?

Cognitive dissonance is a hard thing to get past, even with something as small as a creative cover of a familiar song.

“So,
So you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell?
Blue skies from pain?

Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

Did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts?

Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?

Cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?
