THIS FAR AND NO FARTHER

Guest Post by Sonic

Edmund Burke Quote: “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for  good men

At the end of the day this article could be summed up by saying, “since you’ve already allowed the government and big business to get away with terrible things, you should not have any reason to resist this latest and greatest trespass.” That is a logical argument. That said, throughout history this has happened many times. Good men have to be able to say “this far and no farther”, and they have to mean it.

Unfortunately meaning it means risking more than your own life. You risk the lives and livelihood of all of those you care about. That is wife and daughter, and son and mother, father, cousin, friend and neighbor. If you own a business, you have numerous employees, vendors and clients that you risk as well along side of the great investment of your time and resources into building said enterprise. In short you risk everything you care about, so you naturally don’t step up to pay that price until everything you care about is already at risk.

That is why people with something to lose are slow to act, often so slow that they don’t act until the things they worry they will lose are already lost. That is why the old saying, “when a man has nothing left to lose, he loses it” is profound wisdom. The evil behind all the machinations will never be satisfied. They are incapable of being satisfied until everything is either entirely under their control or destroyed completely. The day is here where you are faced with the choice of resisting this evil while you still can, or capitulating completely into your new role as owned property.

I am not a brave man. I swim in the current of fear and the uncertainty of when and how to resist this evil. I have a lot to lose as I am tremendously blessed on all fronts. I am certain; however, that as things continue along this path that I, and many others like me, will have to make that choice, come what may. And even in the highly unlikely event that we survive to see our brethren win the day, we will likely still lose all that we care about, including our souls.

I don’t see a peaceful end to this, although I pray for one. I hope that the entire crumbling edifice will collapse under its own weight before I am find myself facing down the seemingly overwhelming force of darkness in front of us. But that may be a vain hope as the chaos of collapse is likely every bit as dark and dangerous a path as outright rebellion. Still it is darkest before the dawn, and it could be that the gloaming light of tyranny is in fact the first blush of a new dawn of liberty. I pray it is so, and hope my path is leading out of darkness instead of into it. Best of luck to you all.

Mark 8:36-38
King James Version

36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

That was a profound comment there Sonic. Are you a hedgehog or addicted to chili-cheese dogs?

By the way (edited), if any of our biblical scholars and do-it-yourself-proselytizers around here are available for comment/debate?

Since the Son comes with the “holy” angels, where are the other kind?

P.S. A grammar nazi might argue it should be further but I’m not one.

The ‘Son of Man’ is Aquarius (the pourer of water), and he is indeed coming. You may have already heard that it is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius. Well, the age of Aquarius is the start of the new order of the ages (novus ordo seclorum – aka NWO). qv Matthew 24:30.

But, before that, we have God’s judgement (aka The Great Reset).

Is the moon in the seventh house and Jupiter aligned with Mars, as it was in the song? Jupiter aligned with Saturn in December of last year, but beyond that… Well, beyond that, I’m pleased that we’ll see “Harmony and understanding/Sympathy and trust abounding/No more falsehoods or derisions/Golden living dreams of visions/
Mystic crystal revelation/And the mind’s true liberation”.

    But to your question a la the KJV, my family is worth more to me than my soul. At least I think it is. I’m reasonably certain I won’t really know for sure until the bill comes due.

    From Marathon to Tours; Ain Jalut to Stalingrad and 10,000places in between the brave have given the last full measure to defeat their enemies.

    The same must hold true today to defeat the B3RG* and their demonic plan to slaughter and enslave Humanity.

    Draw the line; hold it fast; get prepared; be of stout heart; and get ready for the fight to come. Above all take hold of the Lord for the battle is His.

    Amen to that! No need on earth or in heaven for us to lose our souls unless vanity takes hold.

    1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJB… “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:”

    He also gave Bishops the power to enforce this, and I think he referred to those who want to continue as “the remaining faithful”. But I haven’t read it. I don’t know why they say the Pope hates Roman Catholicism when it is Roman Catholicism that is hateful towards Christ and his teachings.
    1) involving themselves in politics
    2) having a pope (Martin Luther explained this)
    3) Celibacy of the priests is an abomination in the eyes of men and God.

    I only have 3, but I am not trying to start a revolution in Europe.

    I don’t think they care what I think, though.

    Centralization vs de-centralization.
    The govt and TPTB increasingly want centralization of power and authority while people (the one’s who can think) want the opposite. Money is another current example. The advent of the block chain has moved to decentralization of money.
    I heard Mike/Mark Moss (?) discuss this 250 year cycle of this central vs de-central pattern. 250 years ago it was the French Revolution.
    We are again at the precipice of this 250 year cycle, which will win?
    While bloody, history has shown decentralization always wins.
    Let’s hope the streak continues.
    Good times make for weak men. The statement couldn’t be more true today. With soy boys to the mental defective in the White House we have more than our share of weak men. Still, there are enough real men to right this ship. No doubt at a significant personal cost. Fellas……..

    If we fight and die on our feet for our families, this will be the first just war since the South fought a noble but losing war. We can’t win a secular war but if we decide to fight for what we all know in our hearts is right then God will carry the day for us. He will supply a Moses and Joshua. As has been said, we will save our souls and a few may live through it in the flesh. Just don’t succumb to being evil like they are going to be evil. I did and suffered horribly for a decade.

    Priest Digs In To Refuse Bishop’s Demand To Resign
    Rev. James Altman Was Asked To Step Down Earlier This Month

    By The Associated Press
    Published: Saturday, June 5, 2021, 9:05am

    The Rev. James Altman calls himself “a lowly priest” serving a blue-collar city in western Wisconsin. But when his bishop demanded his resignation — after a series of divisive remarks about politics and the pandemic — Altman refused to oblige.

    In two weeks since then, he has since raised more than $640,000 from his conservative supporters to defend himself.
    Altman is pastor of St. James the Less, a Roman Catholic Church in La Crosse. He first came into prominence before the 2020 election with a fiery video on YouTube, saying Catholics who voted for Democrats risked going to hell.

    He has reiterated that sentiment recently, while also criticizing vaccination efforts and restrictions on church gatherings related to COVID-19.

    He’s been on Warroom. Bannon is also involved in anti -establishment Catholic movements. Bergoglio should retire. We need a Chinese or African Pope. Those boys have the old time religion. Westerners and South Americans are too into leftist shit.

    A Pope is elected for life. There is no retirement or resignation, only exile or death. If this is true, then Bergoglio is illegitimate; Ratzinger is still Pope. In my opinion, the Vatican is so corrupt that the Pink Mafia and their friends would’ve killed Ratzinger had he openly opposed them – they’ve already assassinated one Pope. In time the queers and mobsters will get what they deserve

    The secret is to know that we., the people, have the power; we have just given it away for the time being due to intimidation and fear. When we come to our senses we will see that if we merely refuse to comply we will have won.

    It is happening already- around the world. Israel invoked vaccine passports that lasted just 3 weeks and had to revoke them because people refused to comply. It’s not difficult – we are going this way in UK – slowly.

    Yes, Rob, they have a deep concept of Liberty arising from their Revolution. The peoples’ memories of these dramatic events never actually wanes. The Brits on the other hand were terrified that the Revolution would cross the Channel – it was a close thing.

    The ruling elites in Britain have a very tight grip on the Plebs and have cleverly offered just enough bread & circuses to keep them quiescent. However, this is changing as poverty and disenfranchisement runs rife. Boris and his corrupt cabal will regret their recent actions – when the Brits are pushed to impossible limits all hell breaks loose – not long now.

Stoics among you might say that protests are a waste of time and energy. However, I am doing so because my heart is leading me that way.
