For many years now I have focused a considerable amount of analysis on the subject of Syria, with an emphasis on the country’s importance to the global elites as a kind of geopolitical detonator; the first domino in a chain of dominoes that could lead to a war involving international powers. I believe this war will develop on multiple fronts, most importantly on the economic front, but it could very well turn into a shooting war involving numerous actors.
Syria is so important, in fact, that the establishment has been careful to smother all discussion about what is really going on there in a fog of propaganda. And make no mistake, BOTH Republicans and Democrats as well as eastern and western governments are participating in the lies and misdirection. Obviously, the first and most important lie is a multi-sided one, and we can’t continue forward until it’s dissected – I am speaking of the lie of US involvement in the region.
Lie #1: The US Has Legitimacy In The Original Syrian Conflict
First, most people reading this should know by now that US covert intelligence agencies (among others) were the force behind the “revolution” in Syria against the Bashar al-Assad. The majority of the fighters coming into the region were trained and equipped in Jordan in camps run by western agencies. The program was called “Operation Timber Sycamore” and was launched in different stages from 2011-2013.
It’s clear according to the evidence that the Arab Spring and the conflict in Syria were products of global establishment meddling in the area. Weapons were funneled from the Libyan crisis into the hands of “rebels” that infiltrated Syria, and equipment directly provided by the US found its way into the hands of groups that would eventually become what we now know as ISIS. The Obama Administration, Hillary Clinton, John McCain, John Bolton and many others were intimately involved in Timber Sycamore. The war in Syria was entirely engineered from behind the scenes.
The bottom line: The US has no legitimacy there.
In the Liberty Movement we talk about this conspiracy fact often, but I don’t think many people consider the wider implications. Was the purpose merely to overthrow Assad? Was it about installing a government that was hostile to Russia? Was it to lure Iran into a vulnerable position? Was it all about oil? The answer is no to most of these questions. These are surface explanations that do not satisfy the facts on hand. There is far more to Syria than meets the eye.
Lie #2: The Original Conflict In Syria Is The Current Conflict
Let’s distill this down to some primary facts: The US and other nations created ISIS and deliberately destabilized Syria. The establishment then tried to convince the American public to support the use of military forces in the region to back the insurgents and the civil war they created. This initial plan failed.
Then, the establishment used the terror groups they created in Syria as an argument for why the US needed to send troops into Syria. This plan partially succeeded, but failed overall to generate public support for wider US involvement.
Kurdish tribes in northern Syria were then forced to defend themselves against the spread of the ISIS plague. The Kurds fought bravely to defend their homes from the terror threat that western agencies had conjured, losing 11,000 fighters in the process. They seem to be the only innocent people involved in the entire affair. They joined the US as allies under the assumption that the US goal was to destroy ISIS. This was NOT the US goal. Not under Obama, nor under Trump. The real goal has always been to use ISIS as an excuse to maintain a US presence in Syria (we will get to why in a moment).
Today, the war has shifted once again. This time, Turkey is invading Syria with claims that the Kurds present an existential danger. The reality is that the Turkish government has sought to erase all Kurdish culture from Turkey and Northern Syria since the 1970’s, including banning the Kurdish language and Kurdish dress and Kurdish names. Even the words “Kurd” and “Kurdish were eventually banned. The Kurds responded by forming the PKK and calling for a sovereign Kurdish state which would allow them to live without oppression. The Kurds did not turn to direct action until the 1980’s after many years of totalitarian subjugation.
The Turkish invasion today is made possible by the rather convenient surprise pull-back of US forces from the northern border. Now, there is yet another excuse for wider involvement in Syria. The US is not out of the war; the war is just getting started. Each time the Syrian problem starts to fade and it looks like it will be resolved, something else happens which triggers another explosion of fighting. This is not a coincidence.
Lie #3: The Trump Administration Is Pulling US Troops Out Of Syria
This is not happening, and anyone who believes Trump is actually ending US involvement has been duped. It’s also not the first time we’ve heard promises from Donald Trump on an end to the wars in the Middle East.
Over a year ago Trump proclaimed that he would be pulling the troops out of Syria, yet, only a week later it was determined that they would remain. Recently Trump made the claim again, and only days later the Pentagon admitted that US troops were only going to be shifted back from the border while the Kurds, our former allies, would be attacked by Turkish forces. Turkey’s military spokesman has said that they will “correct the demographics changed by the YPG (Kurdish defense units much like citizen militias) in Northeast Syria”. In other words, the goal is ethnic cleansing, and as the Armenian genocide teaches us, the Turks are no strangers to ethnic cleansing.
Trump is not the only world leader to pull this kind of stunt, either. Vladimir Putin did the same thing in 2016, announcing an end to military action by Russia in Syria and a removal of troops, only to keep Russian forces there and well entrenched. The Russian presence has done little to prevent a flurry of Israeli air strikes against Syria, nor have they acted to prevent the Turkish invasion, so we must question what exactly Russia is still doing there as much as the US?
These constant fake-outs on a Syrian withdrawal are meant only for the general public as a way of pacifying concerns, and it seems to be working. To this day many people still believe that Trump had pulled US troops out of Syria (or is withdrawing them right now) and Putin pulled Russian troops out after “defeating ISIS”. None of this ever happened. If you tell a big lie enough times the uneducated masses will start to adopt it as the truth.
Lie #4: The International Community Is Sincerely Worried About A Kurdish Genocide
Wow, it truly warms my heart to witness the sudden international outpouring of support for the Kurds in Syria. Establishment rags like the Washington Post and the New York Times, the EU government, the Israeli government, even Trump himself are all announcing their support for the Kurds and admonishing Turkish actions. They are all ready to enforce sanctions or even go to war in the name of defending the Kurdish people. How noble…
The truth is, none of these agents of despair have any concern for the Kurds, and they will do nothing to save them until it’s too late. Later, they will act, but not to save any remaining Kurds. A Kurdish genocide is only a means to an end. And here we start to see the entire reason for the Syrian crisis unfold…
Lie #5: The Kurds Are Not Our Concern, Or, They Are “Getting What They Deserve”
On the flip side of the paradigm, I’m seeing the Trump cult making some outlandish arguments (as they always do) to rationalize the president’s bizarre and abrupt policy actions. The first argument claims that “it’s about time” that a president “stood against the deep state” and ended US involvement in Syria, and we should let Turkey and the Kurds sort out their own mess. I would repeat the fact that Trump is not leaving Syria or any other nation in the Middle East with a US military presence. He is only pulling troops back and leaving the door open to Turkish attack.
I would also point out once again that it is not “their mess”, it is a mess created by western governments including the US.
The Kurds lost tens of thousands of fighters battling ISIS, and the Turkish incursion into Syria seems to be taking advantage of their weakened defenses. This is a situation the US created. The Turkish invasion is a DIRECT result of the destabilization of Syria, and Trump’s pullback from the northern border was the icing on the cake. It acted as a form of permission by the US that Turkey could now do whatever they wanted (for a time).
I am also seeing the narrative that the Kurds are “getting what they deserve”.
Some argue that the Kurds were stupid for trusting the US government as an ally and now they are reaping the consequences. This is hardly a valid assertion. Punishing the victims of a con for being conned is not the American way. At least, it shouldn’t be the American way. Also, the Kurds are not the real target of this disinfo campaign; conservatives are the target, and they’re falling right into the trap. I believe this is a propaganda narrative designed to make conservatives sound like sociopaths.
Trump’s claim that the Kurds were “not really our allies” as they “did not help us during WWII”, and that they were only defending their homes rather than supporting our efforts against ISIS shows an insane (but calculated) disinformation campaign designed to make conservatives look monstrous and untrustworthy. If Trump was really against the “deep state” he would not try to tarnish the image of our only legitimate allies in the region.
Finally, another narrative being spread around is that because the Kurds have a socialist form of governance, they deserve to be wiped out. I would remind the people making this claim that the Kurds are not trying to force their political ideologies on anyone, and Turkey’s Erdogen is a classic totalitarian who has tightened his grip on the nation using every trick in the book, including a false flag coup attempt. Socialists or not, the Kurds don’t deserve ethnic cleansing.
Yes, the US should not have been in Syria in the first place, but then again, we ARE in Syria, and it doesn’t look like we’re leaving, so if we’re going to be there we might as well do some good with our presence and act as a deterrent to an obvious Turkish attempt to erase the Kurds (our allies who fought a terrorist threat the US GOVERNMENT FUNDED) from the area. Of course, it’s too late for that now…
What Is Really Going On In Syria?
If you’re not buying the mainstream narrative, you might be wondering why Donald Trump would suddenly abandon the Syrian border allowing Turkey to invade? You also might be wondering why he would then immediately threaten to “crush” Turkey with economic sanctions and place “thousands of US troops” on the ground if his goal was to end US involvement in Syria? The answer is in the macro-picture. That is to say, we have to ask the most important of all questions – Who benefits?
As I’ve mentioned in previous articles, geopolitical events are being exploited by the globalist establishment as distraction and cover for their controlled demolition of the economy. They need scapegoats for the implosion of the Everything Bubble, an implosion they started in 2018 with liquidity tightening policies that has now accelerated into a full-blown financial crisis. The Turkish invasion of Syria may be the pinnacle distraction event.
With engineered chaos in Syria, Trump’s globalist handlers can achieve a historic level of chaos while avoiding direct culpability. What do we get when we combine all the elements listed above along with lies on both sides of the political paradigm? Well, we get a rationale for war. We also get yet another event which makes Trump look like a bumbling villain and conservatives look like fools or soulless robots.
By extension, any tensions with Turkey suggest the beginning of the end for NATO. As I predicted in January of 2019, it appears that Turkey, a key component of the western alliance, is about to exit. This furthers the globalist goal of the deterioration of the west; the decline of the old world order making way for their “new world order” in which Eastern powers will play a larger role in conjunction with certain European elements. This is a dynamic globalists like George Soros have publicly and proudly discussed in the past.
The Kurds may also be a direct target of the globalist agenda. In a declassified CIA document titled ‘The Kurdish Minority Problem’, the agency indicated that the establishment has seen the Kurds as an unknown factor (which they don’t like) that is fiercely independent (which they really don’t like) as far back as the 1940’s. The CIA suggests that the Kurds are an uncontrolled element that could make establishment goals in the region difficult to achieve.
In the 1970’s the US manipulated the Kurds into actions against Iraq, which was amassing forces against the Shah of Iran and threatening to invade Kurdish occupied lands. Once the Shah was removed from power by Iranian revolt, the US abandoned support for the Kurds. The Iraqi government used the opportunity to attempt genocide against them using chemical weapons sold to them by the US government. History does indeed seem to repeat.
I suggest that because the Kurds are a tribal force of millions that might oppose the globalist agenda in the Middle East, they may have been slated for erasure, and this latest event is merely one of a long series of events designed to kill off the Kurds. Or, at the very least, killing the Kurds is a bonus for the establishment.
Beyond the Kurdish issue, a renewed Syrian crisis and EU opposition to Erdogen could lead to another flood of Muslim migrants into Europe. The last time this happened it sent the EU into an economic and political tailspin. It also opens the door to more fear in Europe and provides extra cover for a financial crash there.
And, ultimately, the Turkish invasion provides a perfect excuse to draw a number of opposing camps into a single place in close proximity, The possibilities for the globalists are endless. The Kurds are turning to Assad for aid and protection from Turkey. Iran is a military ally of Assad. Russia is still heavily involved in the area, and so is the US and Israel. I think anyone with any intelligence can see where this is headed.
If the globalists are successful in turning Syria into the center of the world by encouraging a Turkish invasion with a US troop pull back from the border, they would be killing multiple birds with one stone.
They get a renewed rationale for wider US military involvement within the year. They get increased economic uncertainty as major powers fight over the dynamics of the region. They get a scapegoat for the crash of the Everything Bubble as the potential for wider economic or kinetic war rises. They get a scapegoat in Donald Trump and his conservative supporters, who will not only take the blame for the economic crisis, but also any tragedy that befalls the Kurds. And finally, they get a rationale for the end of NATO, which would be the next step in ending the old western world order.
This clears the path for the introduction of a fully global and completely centralized new world order; a world without economic or national borders in which the elites govern openly rather than from behind the curtain.
One “mistake” (or false flag) could ignite a conflagration between the nations involved. This is why the EU, the Russians, the Israelis and Trump all suddenly care so much about the Kurdish plight. They CREATED the Kurdish plight, and now they are going to use it to turn Syria into a massive powder keg. Syria is an artificially manufactured “linchpin”, as DARPA would call it. It is designed to provide catastrophe while maintaining plausible deniability for the establishment. Trump’s actions in Syria may seem random, but they make perfect sense when we understand that he is serving a greater agenda. The US “withdrawal” is not a withdrawal, it is a prelude to a bigger conflict which benefits the globalist cabal.

The aggression of Turkey against the Syrian/Kurd’s is complicated and difficult to sort out, but the one thing that stands out to me, is American troops were taken out of the equation. To see our troops being moved out of harms way and not being asked to risk their lives for a foreign land is a thing of beauty.
Since the Korean conflict, removing troops from a police keeping role in a foreign country is about as likely as removing a tax; once it has been Implemented, it will remain forever.
So glad to see a president putting the value of a soldiers life over a political solution and how sad it is to hear congressmen on both sides of the aisle, argue for keeping them in the middle of another war that does not concern us.
Smith makes it up as he goes. For months he said the Fed wouldn’t lower interest rates because they were going to engineer a crash. When they did he said it was too late, that they’d already assured a crash would happen. He thinks everything is a huge conspiracy by an all-powerful cabal who are engineering a collapse to finally institute a one-world government, and they plan decades, centuries ahead. A crash will happen, and there certainly are powerful, evil oligarchs pulling strings, but to believe it’s all been planned for decades; bullshit.
No, it has not been planned for decades. It has been planned for millennia and Lucifer is the head planner.
Thank you Brandon for helping us to understand Lucifer’s ways.
The anti-christ will very likely be an Assyrian jew. Indeed, this is the plan being reorganized since Genesis 11.
My first take is that it is hard to impeach or replace a leader while in a war situation. Erdogan benefits, and trump. Let’s make a deal said trump.
How anyone could write more than a paragraph about why the US is in Syria and fail to mention the illegal occupation of the Golan Heights by Israel defies the facts, logic, critical thinking and plain old common sense. Such an omission also outs any such commentary as little more than pro war/israeli propaganda.
One has only look where US assets have been deployed since at least 2009 (not 2011. 2011 was when the secret war was first outed by the international press) to instantly understand the primary purpose. That purpose was and remains protecting israel’s attempt at stealing the Golan Heights by insuring it isn’t blocked by either Syria or Russia. And it is also to prepare for later invasion by Israel (using the US military and our tax dollars of course) all the way to the Euphrates River (One of the first things Obama ordered was the building of military outposts up and down the river). The US war against Syria represents nothing more than israel’s radical war mongering supremacist dream of a jewish only empire which will (they hope) occupy the best parts of the entire Middle East.
There was never any no other grand tactical or strategic imperative for Syria which demanded US military occupation other than israeli empire building.
So what would you do in the case of Israel who has been and is attacked so many times? Every smart general in the past has secured strategically important land areas for himself to defend himself better. Israel is no different.
Besides that, bible prophecies have been fulfilled for millennia and will be fulfilled to the end. Israel’s miraculous war victories in the past prove, that Yehovah God is behind the events, like it or not.
In the past and in the future, yes. Today Israel is run by the god of this world, lucifer.
Brandon Smith has repeatedly insisted that, although jews may participate in the globalist cabal, their supremacist theology, racial interests, or tribal objectives have little to do with their motivation for said participation.
The movement of our troops away from the Syria/Turkey border set up a conflict between Turkey and Syria/Russia. Russia has been wooing the Turks for many years and this might driving a wedge between the two. If it was planned, it could be a brilliant move or the whole place could blow up with Turkey requesting NATO come to its rescue.
Russia will broker peace in Syria with Turkey and the Kurds.
This will only continue the legitimazation of Eastern powers while shading NATO and U.S. hegemony. As I mentioned on another thread, another black mark on the U.S.
Couple these geopolitical events with the continued trend of removing the U.S. dollar as world reserve currency and you can see why Brandon suggests what he does.
It’s not rocket science people. Just paying attention.
You are assuming Turkey’s hatred of the Kurds is less than their desire to align with Russia. I am betting on the former. These people hate each other and have been fighting since time began. The conflict with Syria/Russia will force Russia to decide if they want Syria as an ally or if they want Turkey and the Bosporus Straight. The longer the fight goes on, the more divide it will create.
Our best bet is to vacate the entire area and let them duke it out. The only thing keeping us in Saudi Arabia, is keeping the $ as the currency for oil trades. When that is gone, it will be adios USD and America.
TN Patriot SAID,
I believe Turkey, at some point, will be included in the BRICSA economic bloc. China’s silk road initiative along with the cozy relationship that has developed with Russia and China will ensure Syria will remain a Russian vassal state and prevent what you suggest might happen.
Know your history, look at the map and understand that the US has a history of using warring factions against one another. From Trump…
:The Kurds fought with us, but were paid massive amounts of money and equipment to do so. They have been fighting Turkey for decades. I held off this fight for almost 3 years, but it is time for us to get out of these ridiculous Endless Wars, many of them tribal, and bring our soldiers home. WE WILL FIGHT WHERE IT IS TO OUR BENEFIT, AND ONLY FIGHT TO WIN,” he tweeted.
Later Monday, Trump warned against Turkish aggression.
“As I have stated strongly before, and just to reiterate, if Turkey does anything that I, in my great and unmatched wisdom, consider to be off limits, I will totally destroy and obliterate the Economy of Turkey,” he said in a tweet.”
https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2019/10/11/who-are-kurds-why-is-turkey-attacking-them/
if syria would cede 20 miles of territory along it’s northern border ,kurdistan could be a nation w/access to the sea–
Rumor is: Erdogan is going to pump 3 million Syrian refugees back into Syria, instead of Europe.
In a Wednesday vote, the House overwhelmingly backed a resolution expressing opposition to the end of the US war in Syria, and calling on the US to protect the Syrian Kurds from Turkey. The vote was 354-60, with the majority of Republicans supporting it, and unanimous support from Democrats who cast votes.
Is this a vote of war by our Congress ? and if so, who exactly is to be the enemy ? Turkey ? wish these jackasses would stay on track with all there horse shit.
If i am reading my statistics correctly the Volume of weapon exports from the United States to Turkey from 2008 to 2017 amounts to 1 billion weapons.
https://www.statista.com/statistics/1006374/turkey-us-weapon-sales-volume/
And then there is this,
https://www.yahoo.com/news/turkey-effectively-holding-50-us-121402255.html
As I said years ago on this blog, Turkey will effectively, one way or another, be removed as a member of NATO. All part of the globalists geo political repositioning.
The U.S. is basically being kicked out of Turkey and Turkey pushed into the hands of Russia, Syria, Iran and China.
And now they’re holding onto roughly 50 U.S. tactical nuclear warheads.
Welcome to the coming war of Gog, Magog, Meshek, Tubal and Persia.
Preparations are currently underway.
What is that prophecy about Damascus?
MG,
http://www.end-times-bible-prophecy.com/the-coming-destruction-of-damascus.html
I read his book ‘Racing Toward Armageddon: Why Advanced Technology Signals the End Times’.
Worth the time.
Interesting site… thanks.
Oh Damn it, they went and negotiated a cease fire; now how are we going to have an Armageddon if they keep screwing it up with these attempts to avert a war?
Yeah, I know its probably going to be short lived; they’ve been at it for hundreds of years already. But I will still be most happy if when they start swinging the daggers around, it wont involve American troops.
Well Not Sure, hold on now…according to the Bible the US can’t be found in any of the multiple prophetic Middle East wars (so there is that) wonder if that because our superpower days are over by then, and or are we too busy killing one another…while broken up into urban Vs. flyover enclaves? Maybe we are also too broke to have boots on the ground all over the world anymore?
Any way you look at it I find it amazing at how Bible prophecy is coming together in real time in the Middle East right before our eyes.
Some see several major wars just before the close of this age and the Second Coming of Christ.
Any major future aggression against Israel (no matter how much you hate or realize the evil of the Luciferian Zionists) including invasions, will be defeated by the God of Israel. The nation of Israel (the Jews of Jesus’ blood line not the many imposters in my opinion) will survive into the Millennial Age
• If you want to look them up, key prophecies are: Ps 83, Isa 17, Jer 49, Ezek 38,39, Zech 12,14, Joel 3, Mal 4, Mat 24, and Rev 16,19,20.
• Psalm 83 speaks of an alliance of invading nations (mainly an Arab-Islamic alliance), and Isa 17 and Jer 49 speak of the complete destruction of one particular city, Damascus.
• The prophecies of Ezek 38 and Ezek 39 are relatively difficult to interpret and have led to much ‘scholarly debate’. They may refer to a single invasion, or to two separate invasions.
• If separate invasions, Ezek 39 may refer to the final, ‘all-nation’ invasion (Armageddon) or to an Arab-Islamic invasion prior to Armageddon. And Ezek 38 may refer to the post-Millennial Gog-Magog invasion of Israel in Rev 20′
• If Ezek 38 and Ezek 39 refer to the same invasion, they may refer to an Arab-Islamic invasion prior to the final invasion (Armageddon). If this is the case, we can expect a peace treaty to be signed with Israel in the future.
• Zech 12, Zech 14, Joel 3, Rev 16 and Rev 19 appear to describe the final ‘all-nation’ invasion (the Battle of Armageddon) which is defeated at Christ’s Second Coming. This time is referred to as ‘The Great Day of God’, or ‘The Day of the Lord’
• The weapons referred to in the above prophecies are those familiar to historic Israel, but they are actually end-time weapons symbolic of well-equipped armies using weapons of today. Malachi 4 and Zech 14 appear to describe how the invaders in the final conflict(s) will perish, and may be references to nuclear war and the use of neutron bombs respectively. Matthew 24 could describe the suffering of Israel at this time.
In the meantime I’m planting more fruit and nut trees, and fishing in my pond while sipping on that new beer Michelob Ultra came out with, called Pure Gold Organic Light Lager…while toking on a good cigar. I should have this whole mess figured out and solved any day now.
“Yeah, I know its probably going to be short lived;”
Total agreement; hence the qualifier.
Yes, the prophesies are coming together and have drawn closer rather than farther apart for many years now. But in the ’70’s I did put a lot of stock in Hal Lindsay’s book “The Late Great Planet Earth,” and after this and a few other instances where we were told get ready the Red Heifer has been born, I’ve learned to not live according to the prophesies, but to live as though our LORD will return at any moment.
If your ever in Wisconsin, try “Spotted Cow,” my favorite brew and after trying a pipe 20 years ago, have elected to just inhaling air for my pleasurable moments.
Take care, brother!
1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 KJB… “But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.”
not sure,
Yea, my cigar toke’in is reserved for rare moments…but joke’in is my real addiction.
I completely missed the Late Great Planet Earth false alarm. I was a full blown heathen, pagan, pissed off Nam Vet in the 70’s. My Mother once called me, ‘The angry young man.’ I was mad at and fighting with everyone, especially God. Man, He can punch, great defense, the original rope a doper. I flailed away but couldn’t get a clean shot in so I finally left the ring in disgust for over 20 years, until He forced me back in. Finally He knocked me out…with one of His famous supernatural salvation Maker haymakers. It was a Ghost punch…never saw it coming.
Now I’m eagerly looking for the 2020’s to be the greatest fulfillment of cascading Bible prophecy of my lifetime, and probably be the decade that starts the events that brings a rematch in-between the Champ and the lost doomed contenders.
Seeing how I have hung up my gloves and I’m cheering for the undisputed heavy weight champion of time, the universe and all that exists, I’m in my farm at my front row seat savoring every day waiting for the final opening bell to ring!
(I could end up under the alter in a white robe watching the rest of the fight from there asking how long before my blood is avenged – had a dream about that once. Either way I’m ready, willing, and able to put a pair of His gloves for this last fight.)
Hope to meet you one day, maybe it will be shoulder to shoulder under the altar. Till then, play the man* and keep the faith!
*”Play the man” was an old saying passed around by the early Christians to encourage one another, as they awaited their martyrdom, to die as faithful slaves of Christ.
why can’t i be as smart as brandon smith?
have i mentioned that elijah cummings died?
