They Won’t Awaken for Fear of Losing the Dream

By Doug “Uncola” Lynn via TheBurningPlatform.com

 

The great citizens of a country are not those who bend the knee before authority but rather those who, against authority if need be, are adamant as to the honor and freedom of that country. 

– Albert Camus, Resistance, Rebellion, and Death

 

The task of men…is not to desert historical struggles nor to serve the cruel and inhuman elements in those struggles. It is rather to remain what they are, to help man against what is oppressing him, to favor freedom against the fatalities that close in upon it.…Man’s greatness…lies in his decision to be greater than his condition. And if his condition is unjust, he has only one way of overcoming it, which is to be just himself.

– Albert Camus, Resistance, Rebellion, and Death

 

Those familiar with the story of Noah’s Ark will know the ancient patriarch, as described in the Bible’s Book of Genesis, built a ship to ensure his family’s lineage through a great global flood. The mass population of Noah’s day would not survive the coming carnage and the people lived without any knowledge of what was about to happen. Perhaps they even ridiculed Noah and his family for building the ark. Regardless, the Walking Dead lived the dream until their world ended, abruptly, in a deluge that swept them to their respective deaths.

Genesis Chapter Six tells of “giants on the earth” that became “heroes” to the wicked Walking Dead of that ancient zeitgeist; and the flood manifested as a result of the God of Creation seeing that “the wickedness of man was great in the earth” (Genesis 6:5).

Noah, however, “found grace in the eyes of the Lord” (Genesis 6:8).  In the Bible’s original language, the word “grace” may also be translated as “favor”.

Therefore, according to the Bible, the God of Creation held Noah in higher regard than the Antediluvian Walking (soon to be swimming) Dead.

Now, regardless of anyone’s belief, or non-belief, in Biblical Scripture, it is being cited here for purposes of illustration; and because Bible stories and characters offer a universal reference point from which to begin a conversation.  Additionally, for anyone paying attention, there is no denying America has become a dead nation walking – and prior to the coming storm.

For the sake of this post, the modern-day giants on the earth could be considered as the titans who govern international corporations and organizations. Undeniably, the present-day Walking Dead view these corporate overlords, and their governmental attendants, as heroes; but today’s plebeians are just part of another generation led astray, persuaded down a primrose path in a perverse and perilous parade.

Like an ill wind blowing across time, an ancient immorality has, once again, overtaken the world as evil giants establish another kingdom founded upon fear and superstition. This time, however, a technocracy has emerged codified with Marxist precepts and regulated via the giant jackboots of global climate change and omnipresent coronaviruses.

Secular Humanism and collectivism have liquefied national institutions into muddy sloughs of corruption and relativism to the point of a U.S. Supreme Court Justice now being unable to discern the biological differences between genders.  This has occurred while supranational institutions, such as the World Health Organization and World Economic Forum, were solidified into the new high towers of the global dystopia.

Solve et Coagula.

These wicked giants have captured the mainstream media as governments around the world are controlled by World Economic Forum puppets in key positions of power, and politicians across the globe have become mostly stooges, comedians, clowns, and Reality TV Stars. Yet, to the Walking Dead of this era, the global overlords appear as Greek and Roman gods rescuing the world from coronavirus variants, wicked weather, and Russian war criminals.

There was once a more genuine and gratifying way of life, long ago, but fractional reserve banking has dissolved the old world in a flood of green paper and digital debt until all that remains now are war propaganda and fake news narratives floating like bloated corpses on the waves.

Almost everything seen near and far is electronic and fake, or, at the very least, partially fake which is still fake.

Patriots and preppers watch from their respective arks under a hard rain that feels like judgment; as the words of the Walking Dead flow as rivers winding into a digital ocean of lies.

United States politicians are now, conveniently, blaming the “Putin price hike” after decades of inflationary money printing and reckless government spending.

A Florida bill designed to protect young children in their schools from deviant ideologues has been twisted into the “Don’t Say Gay” law by the Walking Dead and for the perverse pleasure of their giant, behind-the-scenes, overlords.

In a demonstration of how the War in Ukraine is aiding and abetting the World Economic Forum’s “long-term value creation” within the “social contract” of Stakeholder Capitalism, Chanel, Inc. has “forbidden” the sale of its purses to “individuals planning to use them in Russia”.

Remember when products were owned by the purchaser upon purchase? No longer, as all transactions are becoming subject to an emerging, and grotesque, social “morality”.

Accordingly, big government and banking giants that have fanned the flames of global warfare while racking up trillions in unsustainable debt, are now planning to monitor the social and economic credit scores of an apathetic generation asleep and dreaming.

Disney Corporation once sold fantasies to children for profit.  Now it peddles sexual delusions to kids, at the risk of its own demise, by choosing to sacrifice the company brand upon an altar of Wokeness.

By supporting the de facto grooming of children, Disney has, in effect, transitioned its shareholders into World Economic Forum-mandated stakeholders administering new ancient ideologies.

Furthermore, Pfizer CEO, Albert Bourla, has labeled any honest skepticism of his company’s mRNA COVID vaccine as “misinformation”.  According to Bourla, those who raise questions outside of Pfizer’s talking points and advertised taglines are “criminals” whose actions have cost “millions of lives”.

Evidently, under the new social contract, expressing a lack of trust in a company that was forced to pay the largest criminal fine in history is now a crime, according to the giants of Big Pharma, because free speech threatens the “lives” of the Collective Walking Dead.

At one time, society existed for the sake of individuals. But today, in the Age of COVID and Climate Politics and Economics, a sea change has occurred; at least in the United States: because now, like most nations of the world, individual Americans are viewed as existing for the sake of society.

Of course, weaponizing The Common Good against the individual has always been foundational to Socialism, Fascism, and Communism; and, it appears the masses have bought what Big Corporatism and Big Government have sold them:  The price for admission into the New World Order has been paid by people yielding their natural rights and individual autonomy to giants on the earth.  Hypnotized and in a dreamlike trance, these are the Walking Dead.  The new religion may be called “Woke” but its adherents are actually asleep and dreaming.

Last November in another article, I described the following circumstance:

I know a manager in a health facility who applied for a religious exemption and it was awarded. Some of his employees asked his advice on getting the jabs. The employees were against it, initially, and sought advice from their boss. The manager, not wanting to reveal his vaccination status, or jeopardize his recently awarded exemption with his superiors, simply advised the employees to follow their conscience and do what they feel is best for them. The employees, with resentment, caved in and took their first shots in order to keep their jobs.

The employees ended up taking both shots of the mRNA gene therapy in order the meet the health facility’s COVID vaccination deadline and, last week, one of the employees died in their home of “flu-like systems preceding a myocardial infarction”.

This was a very healthy person in their sixties who ate right, worked out regularly, and had no history of heart problems. Their parents lived into their eighties. The deceased had kids and grandkids. They took the mRNA “vaccine”, under coercion, and in order to keep their job.

As of this writing, there are two obituaries in my morning newspaper of people in their early 40s. Both died “at home”.  Not “at home from an accident”, or “at home from a fall”, or “at home from a long battle against cancer”.

Just “at home”.

So it seems “at home” deaths are trending.

Ironically, in the same local paper, an announcement was recently published advertising an event to celebrate local “heroes” in healthcare.  In effect, the event will honor those who refused to provide their patients with proven and peer-reviewed early COVID treatment options and then later snuffed out multiple lives on ventilators for government cash. Moreover, the healthcare honchos who have organized the event are the very same people who mandated their employees submit to experimental gene therapy.

So, with that in mind, I have been relentlessly confronting the biofascists in my community.

Last week, one of the dreamwalkers asked me where I’m getting my information and I told them I had everything ready to send to them: The released-under-court-order Pfizer documents, the video testimonials of funeral directors and embalmers, videos of the vaccine injured, local obituaries (citing “sudden, “unexpected”, and “at home deaths”), VAERS documentation, and more.

“Can I show you?” I asked. Silence.

This week, a second dreamwalker asked me: “Are you ever going to stop with this COVID vaccine stuff?”

I replied: “Are Fauci, the WHO, and the CDC ever going to stop? No. They will just keep selling brand new variants and useless boosters for you to keep buying every Dark Winter of Death“.

So, no. It won’t be over until the collusion, fraud, and fascism have been fully exposed and those who prescribed medical tyranny under false pretenses have been held to account.

Was the second dreamwalker even remotely curious regarding my sources of information? Not at all. Just more silence.

Eventually, however, the Walking Dead will learn the Great Reset isn’t so great. This is because the World Economic Forum, the elite bankers, the secret societies, and corresponding round-table organizations will not withstand the real reset when it comes. The Fake Reset is ultimately doomed because reality always drowns dystopian dreams in time.

Noah could not save the generation of his day.  He could not awaken them. He could not change their minds. All he could do was to act out his own beliefs in faith, prepare, and persevere.

In the Biblical tale of Noah’s Ark, Noah acted separately from the crowd of his day. This was because his actions derived from an ideological construct that set him and his family apart. He did not dream the dreams of The Walking Dead. Instead, Noah met the storm head-on with eyes wide open. Every day, he chose to build and stock his ark knowing it would soon be launched into an uncertain future. In that sense, Noah’s faith required courage.

In a previous post, I phrased a personal perspective on faith as follows:

It takes courage to act rightly; to place principles above, even, survival. In that regard, then, faith could be considered as the evidence of principles unseen.

In our current zeitgeist, the right choices will remain the same as they have throughout history: To hold these principles in high regard: Truth instead of deception, just law against tyranny, reason above insanity, and innovation over entropy.

These are binaries that will determine our wise decisions, and good friends, in the coming storm.

The Great Reset now heralded by this generation’s “giants on the earth” is destined to fail.  It will ultimately fail because it is manifesting through deception, by means of tyranny, and at the whims of insane blood-sucking vampires that have coopted all which they could not create.

Conversely, and regardless of the Walking Dead of Noah’s day, the old patriarch’s “rightness” was determined by his “right” choices – decisions that adhered to an internal “standard”, or plumb line, if you will.

Noah never accepted the premises, or the vain utterances, of dead dreamwalkers. Instead, the Biblical narrative showed him trusting another source that was stronger than the largest giants on earth.

The story of Noah, in fact, points the way to an Ark that will not sink.

Of course, truth, and right action, and courage, may not guarantee physical survival in the coming deluge. But what else is worth dying for?

Even recent history proves how facing reality wide awake was better than dreaming dystopian dreams.

Never lose faith.

Sounds like you’re talking about religion …. including the Bible, since the Noah ark story is but a fable.

But that does NOT mean the story isn’t useful in terms of valuable lessons … as your article does so very well.

Perhaps co-opted to put to better use would be a way to state that. What if it is an allegory, a metaphor, a symbolical representation of something not tactile, not visible with normal earthly eyes? If so, its meaning would only be found by those who cared enough to consider it, rather than carelessly cast it away as an unheeded warning. There are many such found in the Bible.

Ain’t no thang, Stuck. As I mentioned in the article, the Genesis story of Noah’s Ark was a reference point to start the conversation.

That said, however, I don’t believe the tale has ever been definitively, one-hundred-percent disproven because the story of a great flood has been passed down through the generations across all cultures of the world with many of them even citing Noah by various names.

Plus, Leonard Nimoy searched for evidence of Noah’s Ark just decades ago, so there’s that, too.

The ark was 120 years in the making as Noah preached to the “walking dead”,an apt description. Romans 3:4 Let God be true and every man a liar. Deuteronomy 4:2 Ye shall not add to the word that I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it. Denying any words in the bible will not end well for those that do. The bible is the perfect inerrant word of God to his creation. It is not a buffet where you are free to choose what you like and disregard what you don’t like.
II Timothy 3:16 ALL scripture is given by the inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction and for instruction in righteousness.

Virus belief, religious belief, same thing. Many have noted how much this virus has become a religion with all the same markers and behaviors – fierce belief in something invisible and a very quick fuck you I’m right defense of it.

Therefore those under religious mass psychosis also ‘won’t awaken for fear of losing the dream’ – they consider the ‘validation’ of fellow dreamers all saying the same cozy ‘certainties’ in the midst of very high pressure uncomfortable uncertainty to be evidential proof.

I have never been comfortable with this or the disagreements over it, but that is not because of a lack of depth. Not that it is wrong, I just am not satisfied with its completeness or its symmetry.

I’m quite familiar with the dogma you mention, it’s just that I disagree with referring to as God as a “person”.

Also the concept of the Trinity brings to my mind ludicrous scenarios like God-the-Son out in the desert talking to himself (as well as to Satan), and being offered dominion over the earth by Satan, as if God couldn’t take dominion over the earth unless granted it by the Devil.

There is one God, but God is Three Persons. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. One God: the Father is God, the Son is God, the Holy Spirit is God. Trinity and Unity. It is a mystery.

Look up the Athanasius Creed.

To look at it another way, what does God think about and Whom does He love? Since God is perfect, complete, all-knowing, and infinite, then What does He think about? Any thought we have is just a thought, but that does not apply to God. God, being infinite, thinks about Himself. He is the only thing worth thinking about. But He is God, so his Thought about Himself is also complete, infinite, etc. In other words, His Thought is Himself, otherwise He would not have a complete, clear idea of Himself. His Thought (also known as the Word) is His Only Begotten Son. The Son is Begotten from the Father from all eternity. It has the same nature, complete, infinite, all powerful. God the Father knows and loves God the Son. God the Son knows and loves God the Father. This love is complete, infinite, all knowing, and perfectly participated in. A Love in which each Person gives Himself entirely to the Other Person. Entirely and infinitely. This Love, complete, infinite, etc. is the Third Person of the Trinity: The Holy Spirit proceeding from the Father and the Son from all eternity.

There is only one God, because by definition there can not be more than one. Infinite means without limits. An “A” god would be a limit on a “B” god and vice versa. So one God, one Divine Nature, unshared, being held completely by each Divine Person.

Again, it is a mystery.

And again, see the Athanasius Creed.

22 At that time the Feast of Dedication took place at Jerusalem. It was winter, 23 and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the colonnade of Solomon. 24 So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.” 25 Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name bear witness about me, 26 but you do not believe because you are not among my sheep. 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to me,[a] is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. 30 I and the Father are one.”

John 14:8-11
8 Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” 9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works. 11 Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else believe on account of the works themselves.

So, what are the odds that such an ark would, after it’s all over, that it would pretty much come to rest in the same general area where it was built?

Geez, they’re afraid of people getting together to exercise and meditate.
Basically, they are afraid of any group of people who might not be under their control.
Of course they are afraid of God, and of any and all religions; the “leftist” doctrines, at their root, are evil inspired by evil.

Have you ever stopped to think there WAS a God? Look at it. It’s a work of art except it’s functional. Now build ten other bodily systems into it controlled by an onboard computer and watch it walk, run, roll and swim around for 80 years on its own battery. It takes more faith to believe the appearance of a design sans the designer. Could a Mercedes jump out of time and space from an explosion? Only a dreamer who was sound asleep could imagine such a thing. The fool says there is no God. Wake up man.

It looks to me as if you’re just trying to divert the discussion before it even begins.

Having faith that reality will always eventually win out over dreams is having faith in fact based reality, whether you have that faith through God or through rational thought processes and learning doesn’t matter.

Freethinkers in the dawn of the Age of Reason were persecuted and sometimes killed by people in powerful positions in authoritarian governments. Reality threatened their governments structured on fantasies.

I doubt my post will get things percolating, a word which is sometimes used to mean sinking gradually into the earth.

If it helps you feel any better about the Age of Reason, Judeo/Christian ideas about the autonomy and worth of each individual person were fundamental to the formation of the philosophical musings that led directly to the founding of America.

The other day I was leaving to run an errand and saw my neighbor who was one of those all in on the plague types. She was out in the yard, all smiles and wanted to chat so I spent a few minutes playing catch up with her, talking about the kids and the weather. Her family sold the house in Massachusetts and moved up to their second home to get away from the lockdowns and the mandates, but she was still deep in the thrall of it was for the greater good mindset. I asked her if she didn’t find it odd that all of the experts who’d been vaxxed had still all come down with the flu while those of us who hadn’t didn’t. I could see her struggle with the contradiction, but not to come to a logical conclusion, but rather to reinforce her belief. Her family had uprooted their life because they bridled at the demands of the authorities, but she still couldn’t give up the belief that they were right even if it was clear that they were wrong. Admitting you’ve been wrong is a hard thing to do for most people, but it is easy to see why.

The power of mass delusions cannot be underestimated.

The good news is that you don’t have to live that way, there is a better life if you simply follow the dictates of your conscience and the laws of Nature.

I’m sorry that this is the present course of events, but you don’t get to choose the time you’re born into, only what you do with the time you’ve been given. Stay positive, set a good example, never give up, tell the truth. It may not change a thing for others, but it will improve your own.

Thank you for your comment, Hardscrabble.

I would say about 5-10% of people in my area still choose to wear masks. Unsurprisingly, these are the same folks who wear them alone in their car and while walking outside by themselves in isolated areas.

Regarding the Marcus Aurelius quote, I saw that this morning on TBP’s “Quote of the Day” before I read your comment, and I am always amazed how different historical figures, living at different times, arrived at the same conclusions.

Did the later writers build upon what came before? Or did they all find the same answers on their own?

It is interesting to contemplate:

Now compared to the Bible’s Philippians 4:8:

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, if there be any virtue and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Of course, there are other examples throughout history as well. Coincidence? Something else? I think it is “something else”, even if only discovered in part by some past and present.

Either way, I have found I live better when I focus on the full part of life’s proverbial “glass” as opposed to whatever I might think I’m missing.

An interesting question, or ‘twist’ on the question:

First evening of class, the Instructor walked around, A water-glass in hand, chatting us up, introducing himself and asking our names on an individual basis. Fairly quickly, those of us farthest away started whispering amongst ourselves, ” The old Half-full, Half-empty question”. In time, he had made the rounds and returned to the podium, Glass STILL in hand. He just stood there, watching our conversations/reactions. Even though his hand was steady, visually too close to call. There was quite a bit of chatter, nearly everyone, except for a few who were painfully shy as we were all to find out (they didn’t leave the class that way though)…

Smart-aleck even then i said ‘sit it down and we’ll measure it, didn’t pay all this money to waste time, came here to learn!’

The instructor looked right at me and smiled. “Good job, first to offer an workable solution to an apparent question.” I know i was glowing with pride. “Most of you were familiar with the Half Full/Half empty question and even those who weren’t are now“, he said laughing. “However, I was waiting for someone to ask Me…How long could I, or would I hold the glass up, and what is the point?” There was complete silence while i tried to melt into my seat.

2 of my parents friends who were very appreciative of my strong back and weak head had actually ponied up the money and entrusted said sum to my mother to make sure i didn’t make hunter look like an amateur. She rode with me to the bank, made sure i deposited the money, had me write the check and mail it all in one trip. “You know what will happen if you bounce that check”, a mere formality at that point, and we both laughed. Hadn’t actually bounced a check in probably 3 yrs. by that time. Been ganged up on and outsmarted by my Elders multiple times, Fortunately, most of them had my best interests in mind.

I don’t think ANYONE who completed that class ever looked at ANYTHING in life the same after that. i know i certainly didn’t. And “The Water-Glass” was ‘beginner’ level stuff. It was especially rewarding latter in life when i encountered others who I was nearly certain had taken the same class. The ones who thought the tittle of the book was “How to manipulate people for Fun and PROFIT. i would sometimes say…’Hey, you didn’t happen to take The Dale Carnegie© class did you?’ some actually laughed and admitted they were ‘working’ me. Good times ensued, being on equal footing, more or less. The real treats were the ones who didn’t have much on the ball to begin with, but were capable of ‘learning’. “Of Course NOT!” was a dead give away. At the very least they were ‘aware’ of the program. Great fun then. DO NO HARM isn’t just for doctors. Clearly, Lots of them don’t subscribe to THAT Theory.

Good relationships require you to have the ability to assess your own thoughts, beliefs and behaviour.

“Am I wrong?”

It can be an important question at key moments in your life. The answer is not always ‘yes’. Growth is a mix of backbone, humility and introspection, after all.

But an inability to review your thoughts or beliefs makes we wonder how one has long lasting and fulfilling relationships?

Saw a video news account on I believe BBC last night of the troubles now occurring in Sri Lanka. It had a scene of these long lines of people trying to get fuel not for their cars as they had none but for cooking. All of them were wearing dirty masks. Now Sri Lanka is a tropical country perfectly suited for growing crops and not really that big a population for land mass, but here they were all skinny almost in rags filling bottles of every description with cooking fuel still masked up. It was pitiful to see and I can not quite get the image out of my mind.
Now Sri Lanka produces about a quarter of the World’s tea for people such as those that appear in Uncola’s top photograph. I’m really expecting one day soon to see the words “MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN” written on the sky above this filthy country of ours, and rightfully so.

plus Tea is an export crop. The vast majority of famine throughout the world comes from the focus on growing export crops to the detriment of viable food crops for local consumption. The Irish Potato famine was severe because the wheat was exported by the English and when the potato smut hit, it left the Irish starving.

Same all over the world.

do you really think Bill Gates will let you eat from his farmland?

So all of that makes it right?
Sure tea is an export crop, most likely the only source of outside income to the country. It is also a heavy user of fertilizer and chemicals (so much for the whole organic thing), has a big supply chain input, and is hand picked by the people for about $3.00 a day. Do you realize a huge amount of people still cook over open flame, no fuel no cooking. How long would that last here in America?
What exactly does the US export at the moment? Hollywood, homosexuality, weapons of destruction maybe? MacDonalds? Of course the virus paranoia and false media. Ever notice how the information of the problems in the world are disappearing from “the news”? Suppose it could be the powers that be don’t want a person to know. Obama’s preacher Wright was correct about one thing, and that was about America’s chickens coming home to roost.
Re-read the article above and examine the first photo closely with the rainbow tears a streaming, it is quite good and thought provoking. By the way my above comment was about the fourth but got lost among all the hoop-la of Noah’s ark. It actually had to do with the article, and man’s responsibility.
And who would want to eat anything Gates had to offer? A picture of Satan in the garden?

Noah was spared because he was ‘perfect in his generations’, ie, the last of the purebloods, which is why he “found grace in the eyes of the Lord”.

This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God. Genesis 6:9

Since ‘each after it’s kind’ seems to be a thing, it doesn’t bode well for the mudbloods…

“We have seen that China is unwilling to condemn Russia’s aggression, and Beijing has joined Moscow in questioning the right of nations to choose their own path,” Stoltenberg told reporters in Brussels on Thursday, following a meeting of NATO foreign ministers, along with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba and officials from Australia, Japan, New Zealand, and South Korea.

“This is a serious challenge to us all,” Stoltenberg added. “It makes it even more important that we stand together.”

I also put it this way in response to a commenter on my blog regarding this article:

… I still have hope that sowing seeds of doubt now might grow into full-blown skepticism later, in some minds, as more evidence of COVID fraud is revealed and becomes impossible to ignore. We will see and time will tell

Even if minds are not changed, or not enough minds awaken to change the outcome, I’ll know I tried.

Montefrio that cataclysmic flood was the great Pre-Adamic flood in the bible. Noah’s flood was regional. Genesis 1 is a story of earths recreation after the first earth age ruled by lucifer before he became evil. The total destruction of that earth was the result of his rebellion. It’s all in the Scriptures but few are willing to rock the 6,000 and out fable. This would be the second earth age and Christ will bring the 3rd and final earth age.

Seriously!?!?!?

If you take all the mountains and all the deep sea canyons and flatten them all out you’d end up with about a half mile or more of water covering the entire Earth. Perhaps a bit of reading will tell you that marine fauna is found in mountain strata at elevation. funny how fossils are found, in the millions, in water borne sedimentary rock.

Same rocks found in…. mountains and canyons with layering differentiated by knife like edges showing no erosional evidence between layers. Which were supposed to be formed millions of years apart, and no erosion…

So the earth was a perfect, smooth sphere when the flood happened? Then the receding waters laid down the sedimentary layers we see today? (wait, was the earth entirely ocean BEFORE the flood?) Then the same flood carved the Grand Canyon from the sedimentary layers that were deposited at the same time? Then all the mountains and ocean depths formed?

The implausibility beggars belief.

Nowhere did I state a perfect sphere and all water Earth. So you start with the typical false premise and build a story around that and amazingly were able to topple it with a simple facepalm and irony quip… backed up by the must lack geological processes and logic capabilities… lol… Its not I in the lacking department here.

Reading only what you agree with is not educating… its indoctrination… read opposing material from people who have put in the research and ask valid questions is how science and education is supposed to work.

“If you take all the mountains and all the deep sea canyons and flatten them all out you’d end up with about a half mile or more of water covering the entire Earth.”

Did the geology change? Did the ocean bottoms rise and the mountains flatten? If so, how and why? I thought it was the rains in the story that caused the flood. Did they not? Are you claiming it was a geological and not meteorological event?

Please do clarify for this ignorant student. Or make more excuses and demands to avoid doing so.

Anon… He won’t produce facts or even legitimate verbal defences.
The bible says in the pre-Adamic destruction of the first earth he flattened the mountains and raised the deep when he destroyed the first civilization ruled by Lucifer after he attempted to overthrow God. It does not give the length of time it remained in this state. Genesis 1 describes it’s condition when the curtain opens on the Re-creation of the earth which begins this the second earth age. During the recreation it describes God raising up the land which is how Mt. Everest can have sea fossils. It even says that God only destroyed everything on the surface and spared the marine life but does not go into detail because the bible is only about this earth age.

The 6 day only creation theology requires a great deal of biblical and linguistic gymnastics to explain away all the inconvenient facts regarding this total flood and Noah’s regional flood.

Didn’t flee away at all… YOU made the assertions that reality went out the window because ‘math’ somehow proved you right. That there wasn’t enough water to cover the Earth.

There is enough information available to dispel this notion entirely but I’m not about to chase rabbits of your choosing. You made claims which you cannot back up. You stated there were geological processes at play that could explain it all away. Yet offered no explanation when I brought up a counter questions that would call in doubt your assertions.

As for fleas typical rants about his positions, you are either agreeable to them then ur a nice guy. Disagree and you are the devil incarnate. His whole PreAdamic narrative is so flawed its unbelievable and his comment about Noahs flood being regional is beyond stupid. Its basically calling God stupid for giving Noah the boat dimensions and instructions to build the Ark and Noah is equally or more stupid to spend the next 150 years building a rather large, never before needed, boat when all he had to do was move to higher ground or elsewhere in that region to avoid the flood.

So in the end I don’t debate wingnut theologians and uniformatarian evolutionists. Because evolutionists never want to answer questions, they just demand you answer their rabbit trails.

Great article, Uncola. Sad that the majority of my family fall into this camp. What’s wierd is that my LGBT brother (whom I’ve mentioned in a previous post) texts me “Hi Meg! Let’s catch up soon” while 2 years ago I sent him an article from a Christian author that was apolitical. His response:

Hi Meg,
I have a PhD so I do my research. I found multiple innaccuracies in this report and the fact that he closes it “yours in Christ” tells me everything I need to know. Let’s not try to build bridges when we have completely different worldviews and we just happen to be born as siblings. Sorry not sorry

And now he wants to be friends? Talk about delusional hubris. Reminds me of:

Romans 1:24-27
New International Version

24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

Look, brother,you’re an adult and can make your own choices. You don’t get to choose the consequences, however.

I’m grateful God in His infinite grace and mercy showed me the way and now I have that faith. And it led me to all you TBP kindred spirits.

Noah had it lucky. We live in a world with a plenitude of “one true faiths”. He just happened to be of the faith that allowed him to really talk to God. The rest of us pretty much have to wing it and hope we’re right.

I remember my wife asking me why we didn’t jump on the vax bandwagon like pretty much everybody we know. We couldn’t think of a single event that made us leery, but a general unease with the narrative. We had both recently got Shingrex vaccinations without “hesitation”, and had got flu vaccinations fairly regularly, so suspicion of the Man wasn’t the problem. For a while we were waiting for Novavax’s traditional vaccine to get approved, but now I wouldn’t even go near that if it becomes available. The FLCCC is pretty much our Bible for this topic now.

Most of what we believe, we can’t prove absolutely. Preponderance of the evidence along with trusting your gut is all we’ve got and it seems to work most of the time, so far anyway. I’m a real believer in science, but not “the Science”. After the last couple of years, my initial assumption is that everything I hear or read from the mainstream is a lie which might possibly, eventually turn out to be true.

The hardest thing is to be willing to change your mind as you learn more about a subject. We all think we’re more openminded than others, but beliefs can become dogma with time and with defending your point of view. If somebody showed me absolute proof that the vax really was “safe and effective”, would I believe it? I really don’t know.

At this point it’s too late to try to wake anyone up. All who took the clot shot will die from it as planned. Seems to me to be 25% of the population, and much more in some countries. Kind of hard for your blood to circulate when the circulatory system has millions of spikes in it. Damage too much blood and your body sends out the platelets to form a clot.

The most important thing to understand is that with so many people dying the financial system will collapse also under the heavy load of leveraged debt. Combine that with the planned famine that has already begun in the poor nations and will move to the former wealthy nations and we’re looking at possibly 5 billion dead.

It is just so weird to see friends who I know were vaccinated and they SEEM healthy when you just look at them. Of course, many of them would not admit if they were not feeling well. It boggles the mind that they might all be the walking dead. Or the entire body of employees of large hospitals, tens of thousands of people, all walking dead? It is quite unbelievable. Possible though.

I know very frail people in their eighties who have had three shots and they are still here with no apparent issues beyond the norm.

And I also know others with only two shots, aged 35 to 70, with issues like vertigo, excessive bleeding, and unexpected early death – but the overall majority with no problems whatsoever.

It’s weird.

Another logical possibility is that everyone is different and will react differently to the same alteration in their body. After all, when an ordinary flu is being passed around, some people don’t get it, some get it and have mild symptoms, some people are made very ill, and some people die of it.

Some people who got the original smallpox vaccine got smallpox and died. Many unvaccinated people got smallpox and lived.
Anyway, the long term effects of the covid gene therapy shots are still unknown, as the long term is yet to come.
Certainly, if you were engineering something to alter people’s genes in order to kill the majority of them, you wouldn’t want the deaths to occur too quickly or in too great a number, you’d design it so it would seem mostly harmless, or even beneficial, until most people had received the gene therapy shots.

Doug, Well written and grounded as usual. I enjoyed the truth of the flood turned metaphor for our time. the parallels are obvious after you turned the spotlight on it. Much food for thought when one starts trying to apply biblical truth to current conditions in the world as we see it.
“Truth, right action and courage may not guarantee physical survival in the coming deluge”. I particularly liked your blunt and succinct question: “What else is worth dying for?” Six words for people to ponder while they exercise patience and faith as Noah did.
The above three virtues are lumped together with some others in my “hillbilly hierarchy of helpful preps”, also known for convenience sake as the 5 Gs. Not the infamous and currently fashionable microwave 5g which is slowly killing earthly life as we speak. In order the 5 Gs are God, guts, guns, groceries, and gold. Again for convenience, your mentioned virtues are included in guts. They are character traits that we possess first as seed given by the favor of God and then honed to a fine edge in some individuals by constant nurturing and practice.
Many atheists and agnostics believe they can live a “good and virtuous” life without the first G. Very few can. The vast majority cannot nurture any kind of virtue because it is not a desire of their heart and because “without faith it is impossible to please God”. God rarely passes out spiritual favors to those who displease Him. Thus much of humanity, even though maybe good, hip, woke, rich, or powerful do not rise above the animals.
On the other hand many believers are content with only the first G and would rather just skip the gutsy part. They may live with one foot in both worlds, but don’t want all the heavy lifting required for virtue and character development. The rapture is their insurance policy; or they want to be at ground zero when the nukes fly. Fine. But IF one wants to survive in this world I’m certain it will require some real spiritual guts.. I personally believe that God finds favor with those who are both rapture ready and have the character tools to remain here and “traffic here in the world” if required to do so. Much will be required.
Doug, I think you are the one who referenced Paul Tillich, the Courage to Be. If so, thank you. I’m in the second reading. It is heavy with philosophy and theology, and presupposed much that I do not know. And now you reference Camus. I enjoy your writings, but please give me about three months to catch up.

The Boogie Man

As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark.…

I think if I just look at it from the pragmatic perspective, I may miss the point entirely. I then must be put in the category of the scoffer. Though one may not be of the religious type(not adherent to a specific dogma), Agnostic or even Atheist looking at things objectively it seems undeniable that we have entered a phase of the human psyche were inherent common sense and moral standards of right and wrong have all but vanished in the hearts of man in a staggering degree of the populace.
To the extreme example: A mother who looks upon her child at the age of 3 years old and believes the child can make a cognitive decision as to what their sexual orientation should be(then add all the multiple variations from there). Sounds insane! yet it is happening all around us. Yes, this is a phenomenon that mostly plagues the western world and primarily the US. Is it just mass Psychosis or is something much more sinister afoot? I believe the latter to be true. I must believe that a nation blessed with the abundance of the western world and given so much, requires much. If it just comes down to a collective right and wrong dogma that instills moral uprightness in general, regardless of religious beliefs and in mass a society plays by those general rules. Then in mass a society will establish the grounds of of what is and what is not morally incomprehensible. Some may scoff at Judeo-Christian principles or some other faith based ideal, but to them I can make the argument that adherence to it, even at the subconscious level will determine ones moral compass and distinguish in them what is right and what is wrong.

It is when man relies on his own machination to determine his own moral identity and adherence that he most likely will go with idea of “if it feels good, do it”, hence the folly of the western world. If in fact there is such a thing as “the judgement of God” then it seems “we have been measured and found to be lacking”.

Well, some would argue that the Statue of Liberty is actually a replica of the Babylonian goddess Ishtar. There are some interesting parallels to the book of revelations Chap 17-18 and the US. Don’t know if I believe it or not, but why not? We do fit the bill on many levels. Can’t say we don’t deserve it either. Some should read it in their spare time.

That is absolutely part of the Babylonian system. The US is part of it. The conglomerate is comprised of the Beast(from the sea and earth), the False Prophet, and the Dragon.

And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

From the above article:

Disney Corporation once sold fantasies to children for profit. Now it peddles sexual delusions to kids, at the risk of its own demise, by choosing to sacrifice the company brand upon an altar of Wokeness.

By supporting the de facto grooming of children, Disney has, in effect, transitioned its shareholders into World Economic Forum-mandated stakeholders…

Posting here for posterity:

Go Woke Go Broke: Disney Just Got A Rude Awakening From Shareholders

“Here’s a suggestion for Disney CEO Bob Chapek: Get back to business, that is, excellence in storytelling, and stop wasting shareholder’s money on political crusades that have nothing to do with Disney’s business,” Ray Keating, an economist, Disney shareholder, and editor of DisneyBizJournal.com said.

“We all have the right to have our voices heard on issues, but not on the shareholders’ dime,” he added.

Great article. However, I have to disagree about the following:

Eventually, however, the Walking Dead will learn the Great Reset isn’t so great. This is because the World Economic Forum, the elite bankers, the secret societies, and corresponding round-table organizations will not withstand the real reset when it comes. The Fake Reset is ultimately doomed because reality always drowns dystopian dreams in time.

Today is yesterday’s dystopian nightmare, and yet … nobody notices. Mostly nobody, anyway.

Kunstler, in his latest, was of the same mind as Uncola

One thing you must know: we are not entering the wishful robotic anti-utopia of social credit control, QR code management, and World Economic Forum / Klaus Schwab transhumanism.

Maybe I’m just being a Debbie Downer; but I think they’ll pull it off brilliantly and, mostly, without anyone even noticing. It will take place gradually and incrementally, with no single incremental step being great enough to cause the majority to go apeshit.

They (The Fed, the US govt, WEF, TPTB, etc) will hyperinflate the dollar into oblivion and then step in to replace it with an entirely new system complete with surveillance, monitoring, healthcare, and social credit all neatly tied to the digital ID. The masses will be kept fed, kept housed (mostly), and kept beholden.

There’s only one other direction for things to take, and going that direction would bring things to such a shatteringly crashing halt that plans for dystopia would unravel. That’s not the direction things will go. They’ll stick to the hyperinflation/replacement plan.

95%+ of Americans will not be able to really wrap their heads around the idea that they’re being stolen from. Especially since it happens invisibly and over time. So, no revolt.

But they will jump at the opportunity dangled before them when the promised new system comes on line. They will gleefully accept the terms: “They will own nothing, and they will be happy”.

Besides, it has already begun.

In the near term, Anon, you are likely correct. However, in time, I’ll stand by my assessment as follows:

I appreciate both the compliment and the advice, Nicholas, and would like to try that in future essays.

For the past four decades I’ve mainly written for personal reasons, business correspondence, and professional applications. Then I started my blog approximately 5.5 years ago.

Of course, I’m not where I want to be yet, but I’d like to think I’m better than when I started.

And by the way, I am not being facetious. I consider myself just another American Nobody and I am earnestly asking you, or someone, to provide an example of the third-person approach applied to the personal segment in the above essay.

I have also taken advice from other commenters (and contributors) here like Stucky, Maggie, Vodka, Holly O., and El Coyote, to name a few.

If I can pull off what you have suggested, then, perhaps, more sites would post my TBP articles.

These same Bible disproving, Bible hating folks also believe that somehow, magically, the DNA of fish, reptiles, mammals and simians somehow CHANGED and morphed into mankind. DNA does not change.

Its a joined attack on Christianity to undermine its foundations, as expressed by numerous communists over the years. Multipronged attack, against the family, academia, church, etc etc.. Liberal seminaries produce all sorts of heresies like multiple creations, alien life, basic lies to diminish Gods omniscience, omnipotent and omnipresence to undermine whats true and right within the scriptures. Of course they usually claim ‘higher knowledge’… goes with the territory.

At first, I was willing to set aside the religious/biblical connotations in this post – thinking to see it as simply a ‘parable’, of sorts.

Still, it lingered in the back of my mind…how often, throughout history, religious parables superseded the most reality based observations. How those observations became secondary in importance to those who held their ‘dear beliefs’ above the reality based message itself. And how the true meaning always got lost in the minds of the believers, nullifying any positive outcome in the real world.

So, reading the comments to this post, my suspicions yet again proved correct. The majority of the conversation went directly to the religious pseudo-philosophical arguments and the entire point of ‘right action’ was completely voided out. No thoughts of what could or should be done to address these issues. No thoughts of organized resistance to this tyranny. Nothing.

And this is how it’s been for centuries – religion paralyzing and misdirecting all action against actual tyranny. An abstract ‘good’ that’s never translated into true actionable good.

There was one man, in more ‘contemporary’ times, who addressed this very issue. His name was Ivan Ilyin. His very important book, On Resistance To Evil By Force. I would recommend this book to all religious minded people who seek a reality based meaning to this very real-world tyranny. There is nor free resource for this book, the link to Thriftbooks is made as it’s the most affordable price online.

Thank you, dispatchcorps, for those perspectives and the hat tip on the book. I have not read it, but have read quotes by Ivan Ilyin. He would be an interesting subject for a post. Initially, he supported the 1917 Peoples Revolution in Russia before becoming disillusioned by the “self-interested plunder” and was later actually imprisoned by the communists. Liberals today have labeled Ilyin as a fascist and the intellectual effete have even called him “Putin’s Philsopher” and why (they claim) Putin has “weaponized religion” in Russia; which seems sort of strange, until I research it further, and probably even more strange then.

Now Abbott has worked a “deal” with a Mexican governor but of course no way the “deal” can be enforced. As far as the backed up truckers with TXDOT’s added inspections, accounts I’ve read are there are no reports of drugs or human loaded on the trucks. Supposedly 800 violations for safety factors like balloon tires etc. Failing to meet DOT regulations was a major concern way back when the first NAFTA was initiated.
