The Three Wise Men, The Elohim, and UFOs: What the heck was Tucker Carlson talking about

Tucker Carlson always did reports on UFOs, as he was interested in the subject when he was on the mainstream news. But now that he’s on X as a news platform, he has the freedom to cover subjects I knew would make him a much more powerful voice. And UFO subjects come with a kind of stigma where just mentioning them throws the conversation into a conspiracy territory that abandons rationality from the outset. It’s then that you know that many people have been up to no good because UFOs are probably the most significant story worth discussing. They undoubtedly exist; we can see them and often do. Yet for Elon Musk to say that humans will become an interplanetary species for the first time in 4.5 billion years invites scrutiny. How could a person like him not know, who has spent so much time looking into space, studying the surface of Mars and the Moon, and listening to every story from every astronaut who has talked openly about UFO encounters, especially Buzz Aldrin’s descriptions of what they found on the moon? Undoubtedly, much of the anxiety of our times is that these long-held secrets are getting out. Mass media and decentralized discussions have made it so, probably not part of the plan. And now, the world forces are scrambling to keep themselves concealed. Because in concealment comes power, people are always terrified of what they can’t see. Once they realize what something is, they are much more prone not to be afraid of it. So, the UFO stories have a natural inclination toward authoritarian rule by those who can broker such information. And that power has a lot of desire to be maintained. So what did Tucker Carlson, newly freed from Fox News, mean when he said that UFO stories had a spiritual element to them that he found terrifying?

Time and definitions are often shaped by tyranny

I read an excellent book over the 2023 Holiday season called The Magi, which was about the Three Wise Men, or instead, the people who brought three gifts to baby Jesus, and what the nature of the star that led them there was all about, and even how translations over time and various cultures, and languages can undoubtedly create a haze of folklore that means different things to different people.  Tucker Carlson is a good and serious reporter who has been doing investigative journalism for a long time now, so when he admits that his view of UFOs is that they aren’t necessarily coming from Mars and are very ancient, what could he mean?  This is a good reason why we should talk more about the Jewish word for God called Elohim rather than the other words we have misused.  The word “god” does not give us all the information we need to know about Divine Council politics, their motivations, and how they interact with humanity.  It even further gets interesting when you take the reports of ayahuasca users and apply their experiences to UFO abductees.  They have remarkably similar stories to tell, and I find it quite stunning that Peruvian shamans from remote villages high in the mountains paint descriptions of UFOs visiting them under the influence of psychedelics because they have no point of reference to draw from.  All this opens up a discussion I think we all need to have about what we know about these things and how long we have known it, particularly in how power has ruled over humanity, and the cost of that power toward human intellect.

I think there is enough compelling evidence to discuss the Bible as a chronicle of UFO stories during a time when nobody had a stigma about what they were, including the Three Wise Men story of Christmas.  We have defined what they are to keep humanity under control.  But if we are looking for the little Martian from Bugs Bunny cartoons, we will likely be very disappointed, and Elon Musk may be right about humanity with some wordplay added in.  What you see isn’t necessarily what something is if you have been convinced it is something else.  For me, the more proper way to talk about UFOs is to discuss the role that the Elohim have played in Jewish culture and to consider that supernatural events aren’t so unusual but have been expected.  It has been our experience that was limited and our vision suppressed so that what we did see and when we saw it and reported it through literature, art, or entertainment, skepticism followed so that those who wanted to maintain power, either through the spirit world, or the material world, could remain in power and pull their strings to make humanity dance at their whims, maliciously as has often been the case.  The first step in unraveling this story is to treat UFOs not as unusual but as standard and not recent but ancient.  And they may not be “something else” from “somewhere else,” but they are us as we have always been and continue to be everywhere.  It has been our wrong definitions, not our observations.  And they were unfit to control us and for no other reason.

As I said in Elon Musk’s statement on space, we will deal with these problems now. Going to space is the right thing to do.  With the freedom of speech that the X platform gives him, reporters like Tucker Carlson will be able to report these UFO stories in new and unusual ways.  Ultimately, we will discover that they are very ancient and that we have a past connected to the rest of the universe in very complex ways that all our mythologies and religions have failed to capture correctly.  When we get into space, we will learn what all these astronauts have been seeing, and we will have to deal with it from an archaeological perspective.  And it’s not something for us to fear because it was us all along, and we have been interacting with these Elohim since humanity could write things down to remember later.  The desire to continue to fear visits from outer space by aliens is a lust that governments have to grow and protect us from.  But the more we learn, the less there is to fear.  And the more we realize that all along, the powers of the world have been lying to us and having us worship ancient pagan gods and maniacal political figures from the Elohim who do not have our best interest in mind.  And they are losing their cover story of deceit, which has always been part of their interactions.  So what will happen then?  We will find out, as Elon Musk said, about Starship’s role in taking humans into space.  We’re going, and we need to.  And what we learn is what we should have known all along.  Our ancient past isn’t well understood, and the ramifications of that purposeful ignorance will undoubtedly play a role in the future of politics on Earth as it is in Heaven.  Heaven isn’t necessarily somewhere else far away on a cloud somewhere, but in our backyard, and it was always there, as Jesus said, that mankind did not see it because they weren’t looking at it correctly.

The Elohim and Plight of the Divine Council: Fighting the great war that spans eternity

In case you haven’t figured it out yet, we are being played in a kind of chess game with some basic patterns of thinking that are precisely how marketing motives are revealed. To say that the Jewish people are all one way or another is utterly ridiculous. That is like saying that Joe Biden and I are both American. But the next question about Republicans and Democrats, traditionalists and progressives, ends the conversation. There are no more similarities between Joe Biden and me than in saying that we live within the same borders of the same country. It has come up a lot over the Holiday season where people have been asking me a lot about the Bible, why and how I can support the Jewish people, and the creation of Israel at the expense of the Palestinians the way I do, even knowing what I do about the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. So, of course, that opens up many explanation opportunities, which I’m happy to divulge. But to put it nicely, if you have allowed yourself to be marketed into foolishness, then you will be a little upset to find out all the ways you’ve been suckered, including most of the translations of the Bible. I think most people, including some of the most vigorous religious studies, get their interpretation of the Bible all wrong, and I often turn to Psalm 82 for the entire purpose of the Bible, which I would argue runs counter to everything people believe. 99. 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% of everyone gets the Bible wrong. They have allowed their worldview and their religions to be shaped by institutional aggressors who are prone to mischaracterizations and influences of scandal that reside in the hearts of most translations, on purpose or by accident.

The Elohim is the proper word for God

There is quite a movement looming in the background that has figured some of this out and has been gaining momentum over the last few decades, which I would attribute to the nature of mass communication and having so many cultures interact now in ways they never could before. The old game of keep-away isn’t working like it used to, of pitting various sides against each other. I love the Jewish people because they are the oldest surviving group on earth. They are an ancient people, and with them and their rituals comes a window into the past that I find fascinating. Why do they believe the things they do? And why have so many groups, including those of today, want to eradicate them from the face of the earth, yet they are still here after many such attempts? And regarding any references to the Jewish people running all banking and controlling the world in the way that the Protocols of the Elders of Zion have chronicled, I would use the Joe Biden comparison, too. We both might have white skin. We both might live in America and be called American, but the differences end there. Otherwise, I’m nothing like Joe Biden, and regarding the many conspiracies, the Jewish people are not like the Rothchilds and various globalists who try to hide their tendency to want to control the world by hiding behind a religion, a region of the world, or the sentiments of history. Those who try to put everyone into these neat little categories are part of the problem, and their antics should be revealed for what they are: the actual manipulations of the Elohim and the Divine Council politics that work their way into our lives daily but reside far beyond our reach materially, into the chess games of Heaven that are very much a part of our daily life.

An amazing book compiled over a tremendous amount of time

In that wonderful passage, Psalm 82, we find the proper word for God, Elohim, used by the Jewish people in their Hebrew Bibles, particularly before the modern era of progressive impact on the publishing industry began tampering with words, that the Hebrew names for things are essential.  God calls on the Divine Council of Heaven to pull it together and judge wickedness righteously.  Even though God spoke about here as the singular Elohim, he has trouble keeping his Divine Council together even as creator of the universe.  They are plotting and scheming always to undercut all civilization for their political purposes.  We tend to think of Heaven as a relief from the concerns of Earth, but reality indicates that things are on Earth as they are in Heaven.  Politics is a creation of Heavenly existence; our motivations are similar everywhere, including on the other side of the universe among all living creatures.  The idea of a utopia where everyone gets along is the fantasy of those who don’t have the will to fight and understand politics as living things interact.  I have many different Bibles that I use for study, and one of my favorites for this very reason is a Complete Jewish Study Bible that has gone to great effort to put its original Hebrew words in it to translate the true meanings of biblical passages.  One of my Bibles, my study Bible for the King James version, is wonderful, but purposefully, the translation from the original Septuagint in Greek is very much watered down.  These last few decades, It has been challenging to find a Bible with the correct term for God, the Elohim, in it for the context of meaning.  And even then, there has been a lot lost to time and translation by minds not entirely up to the task of wrapping their minds around the concept of a “divine council” that is always rebelling against God and using the plight of humanity for malicious purposes. 

The wars we are fighting are instigated by many of these same forces who jump into the minds of the stupid and weak willingly for purposes that cannot be understood until the context of the entire Bible is conceived as an attempt over many thousands of years to see this big picture of politics among the Divine Council for what it is.  Psalm 82 was likely written around 1450 BC, so it predates the building of Solomon’s Temple by 500 years and the birth of Christ by over a thousand.  So, to put together this story as the Jewish people had by being one of the only civilizations to be together still after such an ancient past is quite remarkable and worth preserving.  Another interesting fact is that Jewish people, by heritage, can all trace back their genealogy to one common ancestor 140,000 years ago, which makes sense to me.  To all those who want to think about the entire history of the world starting about 6000 years ago, I believe that is because the translations are off.  That doesn’t cheapen the religious experience but is driven because the context of history is off in translating ancient material.  Such a consideration gives the Adam and Eve story a lot more merit.  If the Middle East didn’t have so many wars all the time, we would likely be able to confirm all this, but then perhaps that’s the point of all the political turmoil.  To keep us from figuring it out, the political mechanisms can be applied for reasons that extend well beyond the concerns of the Earth.  And that is my answer on the Jewish people and religion in general.  I like to understand politics and am very interested in why people do what they do.  But saying all that, I am very interested in the Elohim in the plural sense and their politics so that we, too, can play the big chess game and win it on the side of goodness and righteousness.  And to not be victims as Job was, or many other characters who were caught up in the political antics of the Elohim.  But to fight back against them in ways they aren’t prepared for, and to win.

Mind Control Technology as Revealed in the Gateway Project: Of course shadow governments are working in the background to rule the world

If you go back to the beginning of my news coverage, many thousands of videos and millions of words ago, you will see a pattern. In that case, it will be established that I have been preparing people for a very hard reality, which they now seem to be ready for. A culture that could produce a guilty verdict and 150 million dollar financial compensation against America’s Mayor, Rudi Giuliani, such as what occurred on 12.15.23, is capable of quite extensive evil, looming in the background, and it does get much worse than that. But these things have been hiding in plain sight behind a very polite, Christian society. Sheer evil has become haughty and shown itself in ways that have finally taken people out of their comfort zones. But some people have seen this reality and been well prepared for it all along. So, for many years, I have been building up to this moment, slowly and carefully, so as not to spook the horses, until it was time to move. And now is that time. Perhaps you are not quite ready. Then, in that case, I would suggest my old articles from the beginning and start up toward today’s actions for the proper context. But for those who have prepared their minds, we are going to get into some wild waters here, and for good reason. We are going to beat these bad guys, but to do that, you have to understand who and what the bad guys are. In the coming weeks, I will talk extensively about the bioweapon plans that have come directly out of the CIA, of which all evidence points to Covid as a bioweapon designed for mass change state culture, where centralized authorities would be in control, and you will be shocked how evil they have always been, and how they routinely dispose of people who get in their way. But to understand that level of evil, you have to understand programs that have been out there for a while, such as the Gateway Process which shows clear intent to control human beings through multidimensional manipulation as was released to the public on June 9th, 1983.

Do you ever wonder where you get your thoughts? Some random ones that pop into your head seem out of character. It could be just what you think it is, some accidental brain provocation produced by chemical imbalances or the moment’s emotions driven by stress hormones and the need for self-preservation. But according to a report issued from the Department of Army that sounds pretty legitimate, the Gateway Project is a CIA/military application that reads like a science fiction story and may even perhaps be complete disinformation. Coming from the CIA or having them involved in any way likely is total disinformation designed to steer their targets in the desired direction, to look here and there for the bad guys when, in truth, the fear is what they were after, and a means to tie the strings of a puppet to your arms, legs, and mind. What does matter in such a report is that it shows that a fourth branch of unaccountable government has been working to establish freedom from the Constitution to gain control of masses of people, essentially for their own objectives and motivations. The truth of the matter is that the CIA has done extensive research into mind control and has developed various means to perform the task, and we are seeing it employed massively in this current mass media culture where trust in authority figures compels the mechanisms to work at least until it doesn’t.

So people have been asking me a lot, from many sources, what I think of the Gateway Experience. My answer is that the desire to rule over people has always been a desire of evil people, and if bad people could tap into ruling from the shadows, from beyond 4-dimensional space, then they would surely do it. But in the case of the Gateway Project, which you can get online pretty quickly, look it up (Analysis and Assessment of Gateway Process, CIA-RDP96-00788R001700210016-5 Department of the Army and addressed to the Commander of the US Army Operational Group at Fort Meade, MD 20755), and you’ll see it all for yourself. The real goal may only be to do what Star Wars did to the Russians under the Reagan administration when it was leaked to them that the way to beat their nuclear capacity was to shoot them down from space. The technology at the time may have just been science fiction inspired by a famous movie series and used by a president to defeat global communism. But it conceptually developed into the ability we see today, where such technology is possible. We should, too, view the Gateway Process report as the hopes and dreams of an aggressive central controlling agency that is seeking power for its own sake at the expense of people’s sanity, weaponized against them because they do not understand the forces upon them and the method of warfare that is being applied. And that the technology now exists for just such branches of weaponized government funded infinitely by black budgets and congressional incompetence. Just look at what Marco Rubio did with the NDAA to prevent a future President Trump from pulling out of the European Alliance. It is easy for mass manipulators to take advantage of such people when the bar to intelligence is so low.

I would add that the CIA and general support of the drug trade by all governments is directly connected to the hopes and ambitions revealed in the Gateway Process, which makes a society function with less intelligent ability so that the methods of mind control are much more accessible. This is well established from several sources that I will use to tell the story further, but it is most recently articulated in the terrifying book by Robert F. Kennedy Jr, The Wuhan Cover-Up and the Terrifying Bioweapons Arms Race. Saturating a population with drugs that weaken a mind toward outside influences, such as 5G impediments disguised as internet signal coverage, can have a massive effect on behavioral applications. For instance, if you look at the lifestyle of most school shooters, you will find that they were all marijuana users. And under the influence of that drug, the brain loses its judgment ability and can be much more open to 3rd party manipulations. In the same way that by drinking alcohol, a happily married person might lower their resistance to the idea of sleeping with someone else. Then, when caught, they might say, “But I was drunk.” The school shooter or other mass killer might say on the stand in court that they hear voices, that it was demons and devils that haunted them. In truth, it was mind projection weapons developed over the last 70 years that work best on minds that are already weakened by lifestyle choices that open the door to attack through state governments and 3rd party hostilities. There is certainly a long history of intent. And if a fraction of that intent has manifested into reality, then we have a mass culture under the influence of mind control, violating their constitutional rights extensively. And people have a good reason to be concerned and ask questions about it now. My answer is yes; mind control is a priority of unaccountable governments. It’s not as powerful as those attackers would like it to be. But ruling from the shadows is their plan, and your mind is not locked to them. They can get to it, manipulate it, and use it for their purposes. Often. If you want to secure it, you can. But it is difficult, especially when it is realized that your thoughts are never your own and that the source of the information in your brain is not always in your possession. And it can and will be used against you, as much as they can get away with it.

Is it hopeless? Are you defenseless?  Of course not.  There is always a way to fight back.  But to understand the history, I suggest following the progress of the MKULTRA program, especially the activity at Fort Detrick, and suddenly, all this mess of our modern times makes a lot more sense.  Unchecked power might start with good intentions, especially among shadow government types such as the CIA.  But people are easily corrupted, especially when they feel god-like power over otherwise clueless people.  And they will abuse that power 100% of the time.  And they have been abusing their power for a long time.

2024 is Time for Harvest: Separating Good from Evil

As romantic of a notion as conspiracies might be, and they are, ultimately, many of the dark rituals to come from the following of astrology were related to the acquisition of food, such as knowing when it was time for harvest and preparing for the upcoming winter. And specifically to food supply, the production of wheat, and its use in the human diet. We forget these days just how stressful it was to wake up every day and figure out where your food would come from because food is an assumption for us in these modern times. It’s easy for us and in all varieties. But for thousands of years, right up until around 100 years ago, food was a very stressful problem, even for the rich and famous. So nurturing a good crop of wheat to the harvest was a significant undertaking, and it’s why such societies were able to make judgments of good and bad more directly because, literally, their food supply depended on value judgments just to survive. This is what the Parable of the Weeds is all about in Matthew 13:24-29 when Jesus said, “The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.” Jesus essentially said to let the weeds grow with the wheat and not try to pull them up together; otherwise, you will destroy your crop in the process. Jesus was talking about tares, which are weeds, and specifically darnel, which looks like wheat during the early stages of growth. In this case, the best way to save your crop would be to separate the weeds from the crop at harvest time, not necessarily during the growth of the good wheat. And under such a metaphor, we can look at our times and say, “It’s time for the harvest.”

Can’t let the weeds sink roots

We have allowed a lot of weeds to grow in our culture, largely out of compassion, because we live in a time when perhaps we thought we could let everything grow together. That we could co-exist with evil and that demands on our survival would not be challenged. But that was incorrect. Instead, we have allowed many weeds to take over our gardens of life and now we cannot separate good and evil so easily. Like the darnel, evil looked a lot like good, and now their roots have intertwined together as parasites threatening to kill the host crop if we were to attempt to remove those weeds as they have been growing. And like the darnel, the weeds looked like the wheat we wanted, so we left it alone to grow, unmolested. This is the problem with having a society that does not cast value judgments on the wicked and estranged intellect. Letting a multitude of terrible menaces grow into a healthy society has destroyed our culture and stunted its growth outrageously. Of course, we took it for granted because we have lost touch with the necessity of using value judgments for survival. We have entertained this fantasy that we could all get along if only we respected each other’s place in the garden. Yet in so doing, we have only harmed what’s good and allowed what’s evil to perpetuate and grow in strength, leaving our only means of dealing with such a problem to a hope that everything might survive until a harvest.

We have a lot of darnel in our society

I would point to the year 2024 and the re-election of Trump as the harvest time of our present generation.  Of course, the weeds who have been surviving as parasites of the good will have great anxiety as the intentions of the harvest are revealed, the separation of the wheat from the weeds.  The darnel of our culture, which is vast and in many forms, knows that their time as parasites is ending, and they are naturally terrified.  After all, they are a lifeform too, and they were created to be parasites living off the good, to disguise themselves to even look like the wheat of our desire so that we might not know what they are until it’s too late.  Until they are in our schools teaching children to be transexual maniacs and sexually obsessed losers.  Until our national deficit is over 34 trillion dollars, with 1 trillion added in the last business quarter of 2023.  That drugs would be sought after to numb our minds from the terrors we see, that hidden tyrannies hidden in our technology would give us no peace in seclusion.  The war against good and evil would turn everything we thought we could trust into a pitched-fork devil of ill intent.  Everywhere we look, we see weeds, and it’s so bad that we can no longer tell what is good for us or bad.  We can’t know the wheat for the weeds because, at this point, everything looks the same.  We have not tended to our gardens; we have let the weeds deceive us into thinking they were wheat, and we allow them to grow and wrap their roots around the roots of our good crop, daring us to pull them and, in so doing, to destroy everything we value.

But it’s harvest time, time to pull up everything, wheat and all.  It will be a messy process, but our fields must be cleared in the aftermath.  At that time, the darnel can be removed from the wheat, and we can distinguish value from the parasites.  Because we have yet to separate the weeds from our garden early in the process, the field has become overgrown, and there are more weeds than wheat.  So we have quite a mess to deal with.  But once the job is done, we have a clear field, and we have determined the wheat from the darnel, separating the good from the bad, we’ll have a chance to start over.  We nurture our crops by keeping the weeds out of our garden before they wrap their roots around what we value.  Always after harvest, when we see our clean fields and a healthy food supply, can perspective begin to bring sanity to our concerns.  And when it does, we must protect our wheat from infancy and not let evil wrap around our values to feed off them for its sustenance.  The weeds must be pulled before they can ever take root.  That is why we must tend our gardens and have value judgments on the good and the bad.  We must get rid of the bad before it matures into a parasite that is dangerous to the things we value, such as a food supply.  It is also in understanding such parables that evil wants to eradicate the Bible from a culture so that we can’t tell the difference, allowing evil to grow unmolested.  Such an idea was always a bad one, and during this time of harvest, one that we should never neglect again.  The Bible is full of such wisdom and has contributed to all productive human cultures.  And we’d be wise to listen before it’s too late.

The Blood Cult of Baal: Destroying the Deep State demand for sacrifice

Since it is the most obvious topic in the world, and I have had to talk about it related to several local cases, many people have approached me wanting some kind of class on the conspiracies that most affect us, and why they are important. And unfortunately, either consciously or unconsciously, most people participate because of their need for group behavior. It’s a problem that has been with us since the beginning of time. The keys to this problem are outlined especially in the Bible, which I’ve had a relationship with for over 50 years. And I’ve read it many, many times. Then, as our times demand, because it’s the main topic of our everyday news, I constantly refer to one key aspect that reminds me of the supporting text of one of my favorite passages, Psalms 82. Now, I have known people who would consider themselves biblical scholars and make their livings interpreting the Bible, and my take on the purpose of the Bible is entirely different. I think all the churches and almost every person get the interpretations of the Bible wrong, the point of the plot. All the Abrahamic religions, Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, have, to my mind, interpreted everything incorrectly, which makes up most of the religions of the entire world. The rest believe that UFOs came to the world and had a massive battle, and we are the result, which is clearly the case in the Mahabharata, which I’ve read too and is a thing all its own. For the Bible, I think the Greeks and Romans saw what they wanted to see when they gave their interpretation of the Bible, and people who wanted to control all humanity carefully edited the text for a very malicious purpose, and that was to preserve the Cult of Baal that has been with us since the beginning of recorded time, predating the Bible by many thousands of years, likely tens of thousands of years.

The Cult of Baal it’s very much alive today, maybe more than ever.

As I said in the video, which covers a lot of needed ground, I see myself as politically right of God, Yahweh. I am far more conservative. But out of all my religious study over the years, I really like Yahweh and I feel his pain, and want to help him. When I read the Bible, I don’t read about an all-powerful god who created the universe. That might be the case from various points of view. What I see is a character trying desperately to destroy the Blood Cult of Baal so that humanity can perpetuate productively into a much more prosperous future. It is Baal who is the Darth Vader of the Bible, not Satan, Lucifer, or the Devil, which are mentioned in the Bible but are not discussed nearly to the level that Baal is. The fight between Baal and Yahweh is the entire point of the Bible, it’s the plot that should be the center of all discussion. Yet the presentation of the material is given to us to serve deities, as humans always did. People either pick Baal, which is always tempting humanity away from God, Yahweh, or they like Yahweh so long as he performs some magic and heals some people from illnesses, almost like they must be bribed into doing the right thing in life; otherwise, they always slip into the temptation to worship Baal. And this is how we get our modern political foundations where “sacrifice” is the core tenant of religion and life as we know it. But what I hear coming from Yahweh is “productivity.” Yahweh, in many ways, wanted people to become capitalists, and he rewarded those who fought to free people of bondage to the Cult of Baal. Think of Elijah at Mt. Carmal, the famous dual between the priests of Baal and Yahweh, 1 Kings 18. Why is it do you think that the “Free Palestine” movement is also capitalist-hating Marxists? The answer is obvious if you look with the right eyes and correct definitions of reality.

Abortion is just one form of the modern sacrifice culture to ancient deities.

The great deception is constructing a society that still serves Baal while the global masses perform the deeds unaware.  This was done by essentially changing the names and focus of our religious figures to lure everyone into continuing to serve Baal in his insatiable appetite for sacrifice.  As people asked me for more information, I thought of these guys at the Deep State Mapping Project, a very new phenomenon.  I don’t think these guys would even exist if not for Trump’s first term in office.  But the crack in the façade occurred, and now there is water squirting out everywhere, and these Deep State Mapping guys are part of that positive erosion of the Deep State control over the world.  When we talk about the Deep State, we are talking about a complicated history that essentially is committed to keeping the world in the mode of sacrificial beings appeasing Baal and his pantheon of losers, cutthroats, and maniacal lunatics who are hundreds of thousands of years old and still linger in our interactions of quantum physics.  Yahweh was rebelling against this Cult of Baal as is captured in that Psalm 82 passage and other places, especially in the actual Jewish word for God, Elohim, which means plural god in many cases, or a reference to the Divine Council that rules everything from beyond our conscious tapestries.  I’ve known about all this for a long time, but the plot became most apparent when all these characters thought they could get away with the COVID killings, massive election fraud, and domination over the media in an attempt to get rid of Trump and the humanity that elected him.  It was the Deep State grasping for power as the old Cult of Baal was being threatened for the first time because of the decentralization of information in our current society. 

Baal has always been a problem

These Deep State Mapping guys have taken many of the studies I have personally conducted and made it very easy for people. It might seem like a crazy QAnon conspiracy theory at first, but I have independently validated most of the maps they offer, especially the Cult of Baal, and can provide testimony to their truth. Trying to shame people into compliance is the way the Cult of Baal has maintained itself for thousands of years, and it is a starving entity that demands humans sustain a cult of sacrifice, which we have. Sacrifice is the central premise behind most of the world’s religions on purpose. Yet, Ayn Rand, an atheist, could see this problem nicely by pointing out that human beings are meant to be productive. If you make things, why would there be a need to sacrifice anything to anyone, no matter how vital the god was? The conspiracy theories of the past, and I read all of Jim Marr’s books, and I miss that guy a lot, aren’t so conspiratorial now that the curtain has been pulled back, and we can see things better than we ever have. And to see this vast conspiracy in the best, most educational way possible, I would suggest the material provided by the Deep State Mapping Project. Things are going to get pretty wild over the next ten years. The Deep State has already lost control, so the water is flowing faster now. I spend a lot of my free time trying to prepare people for it by having them question the reality they have been taught. Yahweh understood, and I like him. I want to help him and spend a lot of my time doing that for purposes that the human race has a great need of. And these guys at deepstatemappingproject.com are doing a great job simplifying the process and vast amounts of information. It took me four or five decades to piece it all together myself. It’s all there for your convenience, and for those curious, I would suggest starting that needed education with their material. There is much to discuss, and an excellent map certainly helps.

Who would ever think to sacrifice their firstborn children to Baal? Apparently, a lot of people, as history has witnessed through oceans of blood and death.

The Problem with Peace: When sperm find themselves in the wrong place

I’m not a big Jesus guy, I love his dad. But I’m not OK with the peace and love that Jesus is always talking about in the New Testament. This idea of the Fall in the Garden being redeemed by Jesus dying on the cross for all our sins sounds to me like a Greek and Roman desire politically to control the mass population for the preservation of their imperial perspective. I prefer the Old Testament and the wrath of Yahweh to the anti-ownership and anti-wealth sentiment in the New Testament. I grew up with such religious assumptions, but over the years and after traveling a time or two to Asia to see things for myself, I think there is a big piece of the story in the Bible that is missing from its regional perspective, which is directly applicable and is being exploited in a very modern way. I think Jesus studied the Hindu religion as it is articulated by the blue skin of the poisoned Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita, which is essentially part of book 6 of the Mahabharata. The Hindu religion actually goes back to the days of Abraham emerging from Mesopotamia, so these influences along the Silk Road are pretty obvious, and so are the many contextual references to Jesus in the many war-torn areas of that part of the world that seem very intent to conceal this information. Apparently, the Vatican knows all about Jesus studying in India, and by the time he came along, Buddhism was already 500 years old. So the New Testament starts to make a lot more sense when you understand how its perspective was influenced along the Silk Road, which is a vast span of territory that is mysteriously not part of modern Archaeology and is war-torn even though there really isn’t much going on there economically these days. So why so much war and terrorism?

Peace is for suckers. I love the God of the Old Testament

I find value in just about all religions, even Islam.  If it helps people relate to higher concepts, it’s wonderful.  But we must consider the political implications of faith and how they are often weaponized to rule large groups of people, and that is what I see emerging out of Hindu religions and Buddhism.  Not by device, but by default.  I heard a joke the other day about sperm that provoked all this contemplation that is actually very relevant.  It becomes our business because just about every rock band that we’ve had for decades points to India and specifically the Hindu and Buddhist faith, and says we should calm ourselves down and be more like them.  Even in Christianity, we are told to be more like Jesus, including the Jesus movement that came along during the hippie era, Jesus Christ Superstar, and the Helter Skelter cult.  Jim Jones and many crazed religious lunatics have taken this passive value toward life and become maniacal dictators of personal destruction.  I know a lot of Hindu people, and I’ve read all their religious texts, and I’m not a fan.  I don’t like Gandhi.  And I’m not a fan of Jesus offering to sacrifice himself for the benefit of all humanity.  I think everyone has read it all wrong from the very start, and to understand that, we have to understand the vast influence that the Old Silk Road had in our history and what role it still plays today.   My suggestion is that the war in the Near and Middle East is purposeful to conceal the vast history of the most enormous land mass on earth.  Meanwhile, we’re supposed to keep our focus on just European history and the Renaissance, and the efforts of the Greeks and Romans to create civilization.

So the joke goes like this, and I’m sure many people have heard this, but I think it’s very relevant to these religions of peace that are so prevalent and wrong for the human race.  A couple of sperm find themselves injected into a situation, and they are eager to find an egg for the fertilization process, as we understand these things from sex ed.  It takes thousands of sperm, but only one will penetrate the egg, and a life is born—the miracle of life.  So here are a few sperm injected into a sexual union, and they are looking for an egg.  One is ambitious and works hard to beat the other sperm to the prize.  But there is a wise sperm who is saying to the ambitious one, “Why are you working so hard.”  Of course, the ambitious sperm says, “I want to be the first to get to the egg.”  But the wise sperm says, “But dude, we’re inside some dude’s “exit.”  There is no egg, so why try?”  To frame a homosexual experience nicely.    That is the essential message behind the Hindu faith, Zoroastrianism, as it developed in Iran in 600 BC.  Buddhism as it developed in 500 BC.  Jesus started Christianity due to studying in those many lost years in India, in the Kashmir region 500 years later.  Islam would come along 600 years after that as an aggressive religion invented by the Arabs as a reaction to their continued occupation by the Romans, who went underground as an empire and became a church intent to rule over Europe and the world.  We have falsely centered our study on the Mediterranean region when we should have looked at the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea all over the Himalayas.  Many people were displaced by war, and they had developed a means to deal with its many disappointments—the religions of indifference, peace, and non-action. 

So what are we dealing with here, a vast conspiracy of Bilderberg, World Economic Forum, or Rothchild manipulations who have constructed all these religions to control mass society and perpetually keep wars going in the region to prevent anybody from learning the truth?  Because they want the masses to adopt peaceful beliefs and not fight back against their intrusion.  I’d say it goes deeper into that and was best explained by Paul in the Book of Ephesians when these manipulators were identified as “principalities.”  These creatures work to undo the world God made and stand against goodness as defined by the perpetuation of the human race, as chronicled in the Old Testament, which is older than all the mentioned religions.  My argument is that these principalities have plotted against Yahweh for many thousands of years, and many of the conflicts that are dealt with today are directly associated.  When Jesus and the rest of the Hindus sought to get away from the mess in the mountains of the Himalayas and started so many religions that developed along the Silk Road, they all missed the point.  The goal of life is not to avoid reaching the egg and create a new life.  All the sperm should at least try, even if they are in the wrong place.  It’s not their fault; they should still try to do what they were designed to do: create a new life.  The purpose of humans is to fight and develop as a result of battlefield victory, so in that regard, peace is bad for civilization.  I can understand what Jesus and the Hindus were after.  Buddhism is a great way to manage stress in life.  But like the wise sperm who knew where he was and pointed out the pointless task in front of them, all creatures should fully embrace their job in the hopes that one of them will reach an egg and bring forth new life, either in a physical form or perhaps only in an idea.  But in creation, everything should be dedicated.  Which the Hindu perspective of “non-action” stands against.

Buddha was from Israel: It was the West that influenced the East, not the other way around

It can be earth-shattering to learn the truth of things and to admit that much of what we have been told about history was constructed as a way to control us.  If you control what people believe, you can control the world, and controlling our knowledge of history and religion has certainly been an attempt to control the entire human race in malicious, and detrimental ways.  Recently, a lot of people found it very disturbing that I wrote about the very real possibility that Jesus Christ spent much of his life in India and that after the crucifixion event, he lived and found his way back to Kashmir in North India.  I understand the turmoil, it was the Muslim religion that proposed that Jesus lived into a ripe old age, and in so saying, it takes away the connection of Christ to God and makes him just a man, which then removes the original sin and the redemption proposal for the entire human race.  But I don’t trust the Romans either who put together the books of the Bible translated from the Greek into what we know about the entire process.  Jesus, based on reports about his life, looks to have had a lot of influence from the Hindu and Buddhist religions, so the idea that his remains to this very day, easily verified by DNA testing in Kashmir, disturbs a lot of people.  But I don’t think it should.  It is better to know the truth than not to.  And to understand why Jesus and the Jewish people as a whole would have even spent time in the Kashmir region.  It tells of a much larger story, not just the regional one of the Near East that we were given.  But opens up the door to a truth that is likely behind many of the modern wars we are dealing with today.  To my mind, the turmoil of the region is purposeful by those who want to control us and keep us from learning the truth about our real history.

So while we’re at it, we might as well tell more truth that is important to actual understanding.  A lot of people who want to tear down the Christian religion, as not being very original, often say that Buddhism is 500 years older.  And that Jesus learned much of what he did about God from studying Buddhism.  Well, it is also very highly likely that the person who became Buddha, Siddhartha Buddha, the prince who found enlightenment and turned away from a life of wealth and comfort was actually from a family who had Hebrew roots.  In the depictions of Buddha all over the East, he has oriental features, but in all actuality, it looks like Buddha was an Israeli.  This, of course, is very consistent with what we know of history and the origin of most modern religions and what we know about them.  While the Hindu faith was alive and well during the time of Abraham, and the interactions along the Old Silk Road were quite prevalent, reshaping the old religions of Mesopotamia and adopting the thinking of a vast span of trade territory, it was the people of Yahweh, the nation of Israel who formed the most cohesive approach to religion that the human race had since then ever attempted actually influenced the rest of the world.  It was the Old Testament that was being studied as the Hebrew people migrated along that Silk Road East and up into Europe over a span of time that pre-dated the creation of Zoroastrianism in 600 BC, then Buddhism in 500 BC.  It wasn’t until 600 AD, a thousand years later that Islam came on the scene and added their take to the Biblical stories. 

Yet in many books, many long destroyed, some still in libraries throughout India and China, there are stories of Jesus in India, and tombs of Moses and Aaron, even Mary Magdalene.  There is a Temple to King Solomon and many other influences that show at least the migration of ideas that were important to the people in the region who predated the other known religions for thousands of years.  So much of the Old Testament is older than Buddhism and Zoroastrianism, which have been said to have shaped Christianity instead of vice versa.  It was said of Buddha by his wife that he was a tall fellow who was very attractive and had blue eyes.  Simple DNA testing could confirm everything, and from those who have, we find that typical DNA matches all over the Middle East, even down to the pharaohs of Egypt, had fair features instead of regional contributions.  The bottom line was that people were moving around the large continent from Europe to Japan much earlier and more often than we have previously acknowledged.  And that the family of Siddhartha Buddha was Hebrew in origin.  Now, that shouldn’t change anything; Buddhism is a wonderful religion that much of the world uses to grasp higher concepts.  But to say that the East made the West is not valid.  It was the other way around and adds a lot of faith to the efficacy of the Hebrew Bible as a history book of merit rather than some copy by the Romans of the latest religion created to control mass populations. 

So even if Jesus was influenced by Buddhism, by the time Jesus would have been to India, specifically the Kashmir region, it was still the people of Israel who had moved from west to east and influenced people in such dramatic ways.  The premier reason for developing a people of Israel to stand against the cannibals and advocates of human sacrifice of the previous cultures of the land of Canaan still has the best results the world has ever seen in creating a practical and effective society.  And that influence had an impact that would eventually shape all the other religions we know today.  The indication that the people of Israel migrated into the Indian region in what is now a war-torn area of Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, and into the Himalayan regions had been traveling there for thousands of years, and it makes perfect sense.  But we have been deceived into believing that the influences were the other way around as if to undermine the effectiveness of the biblical study.  It shouldn’t matter what the skin color was of the various religious characters, but what they were teaching.  Yet, in an attempt to control all humanity, we have been led to believe that the East made the West, to become then confused on how to live life in general.  Was Buddhism and its joyful participation in the sorrows of the world a better approach to the laws of Yahweh?  The answer is no.  Out of all the religions, including those of the Greeks, the Romans, and all those along the Old Silk Road, it was Yahweh and his triumph over the legions of doom with Baal and the gang that was the most significant religious proposal ever recorded to last into modern times.  And those efforts collided when Buddha, the ancient Israeli, abandoned the dancing girls to live the life of enlightenment, which Jesus would also advance as a teaching.  It all started with a relationship with Yahweh and Abraham.  And the rest, what we would say, is history.

The Principalities of Doom: Protecting your Soul in the Akashic Records from an evil, universal menace

To really understand the enemy, we must get beyond the surface of things.  It’s not enough to deal with the politics of the obvious, the lives that our senses were meant to deal with.  But to the many other influences that are quite prevalent and looming.  When people ask me who the enemy is in our modern political world, my common response is that they are principalities, hostile members of the Divine Council who were always giving Yahweh a hard time.  I explain to them that there is a very complicated politics attached to this Divine Council that has always been with us, even before we were we.  And an excellent place to start with that understanding is by reading books by Linda Howe such as How to Read the Akashic Records.  I like Linda Howe quite a lot, and she has a lot of books and what they all deal with is unlocking the memory and potential of your human soul and the history it has over a long period of time.  By dealing with the Akashic Records, you can not only deal with the details of your own human soul, the eternal part of yourself that lasts essentially forever, but also communicate with people long gone and, in some cases, people who will become important to you who haven’t even been born yet.  I find Linda’s Akashic Records to be fascinating, and a good step at getting to the real problem of evil in the world and how it spreads.  And is one of the better means of stopping such evil, by going to the lair where many of these principalities reside.  Most cultures have some basic understanding of the human soul and how to at least manage it to the best of their five senses.  Some of the methods used in the Akashic Records can at least help you establish a relationship that stops giving free reign to the many, and infinite malicious characters who reside to attack your essence in the still unlocked mysteries of quantum mechanics where many living things plot, and scheme with the same voracious detail as the most cunning K-Street lobbyists. 

It’s not enough for me to call evil beings and spirits devils or demons.  The truth of the matter requires more definition to begin to understand it.  But when you look around the world at the kinds of problems that start out of nowhere, then consider what the strategic need is, you often need to do more than just pull back the curtain on a Wizard of Oz hiding there.  You must understand why the guy is hiding behind the curtain, who made the curtain, and why.  And to do that, you must deal with malicious principalities who are clearly against God’s plan where we find ourselves as battlefield pawns to a much larger story of interdimensional significance.  For instance, when you look at the motivations of the current terrorist sentiments of Hamas, the Free Palestine movement, it’s not enough to say that the Devil made everyone do it, even if such a statement is headed in the direction of the truth.  The motivations are more complicated than even what the World Economic Forum Marxists could do on their own.  Of course, they are responsible for what they do in life, but why do they believe the things they do, what kind of dreams do they have, and what makes those dreams pop into their heads for which they build political schemes in life to deal with?  The question as to why people believe the things they do is a more critical question than just dealing with the after-effects of their menace. 

One thing that is dealt with in the Akashic Records is the premise of past lives, which then ties some of this to Hindu culture and a way of thinking that steps away from the development of an individual soul, which I would say is the meaning of life.  I’m in a pretty unique thought process on that, and I thought about an excellent way for my verification while I watched people at a Shinto shrine in Japan on a street corner in Kobe.  To my way of thinking, most people get the entire purpose of life wrong, but we have been working these things out for many thousands of years, which is part of a much larger universal process.  Human beings are developing as a species for purposes that are certainly a concern for the principalities of all existence.  And they are highly motivated by how our souls grow.  What’s good for us is likely very bad for them, so much of what our politics consists of on the nightly news has traces of the everlasting politics within it.  But I do not think that memories of past lives, or even famous people from the past, such as having memories of being Joan of Arc or Napolean, is that we were those actual people.  But the DNA in our bodies, just like the water we consume, is billions of years old and likely has some memory, and when we think we are talking to ourselves as a memory, we are talking to these many employees in our bodies who all have unique histories and a vast experience that interacts with us, but may not be “us” as we typically define it. 

The development of our soul through our lives is a purpose that eludes most people, and of course, to fulfill their own political objectives; the principalities of doom are doing what they feel they must do to protect themselves from our soul’s development.  If they can get people to stay focused on conditions that make them easy to control, then the politics of their concern ease them considerably.  But if you are a threat to them, even though you may not intentionally do so, then they will seek politically to eliminate you from their plans, which is the reason that things are so wacky these days.  These forces have always been looming in the background, and living beings developed various religions to deal with them and manage some appeasement relationships.  But when things get out of control for those principalities, of course, they will attack the very soul of those most of a threat to them and attempt to burden them in ways that often aren’t perceptual in the regular ways.  Be very cautious about why you think the things you do, and always question where those sources come from.  They may not be friendly; in fact, I would argue that they are likely very malicious.  The politics of Heaven are much more complicated than our terrestrial lives, and we should expect that.  Just because we haven’t managed to have a relationship with those elements, it doesn’t mean that the human race isn’t on a similar path as our souls, and we are growing an understanding that is very much a threat to the eternal order in a good way.  But to understand this view of existence, the Akashic Records is a great place to start in getting to know the real you, not the creature that is born, and grows up and dies.  But your eternal nature, the real you who, through life, is being developed as you live.  And it is the real you, not the person that looks at you in the mirror, that many of these evil principalities are trying to destroy before you ever figure out what they are really up to.

The Gnashing of Teeth is Coming: It is time for the righteous to have revenge over evil

I don’t think we see a prophecy fulfilled from the Book of Revelation in our present time.  But I do think a lot of very evil, and vile people are trying to make it look that way to hide their various crimes against humanity, such as the election fraud of 2020, the unleashing of COVID by a lab in Wuhan, and the depopulation plan that looks to have been attached to the vaccine mandates.  You could add the destruction of the global economy in there for good measure, the many evils started by the World Economic Forum to establish their Great Reset into international, China-style communism, and you could say things have not been fun.  There are lots of good reasons for people to feel anxious.  But I do think that the biblical references to the gnashing of teeth, especially in Matthew 13:42, are pretty appropriate for the times that are coming, and those people deserve all the pain and misery that come their way for all the vile acts they have done.  The gnashing of teeth is mentioned in a few other places in the bible, and it refers to the response of punishment on the path to justice where the bad guys get their day after a long wait to come.  Specifically, Matthew 13:42 says, “And the angels will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”  That sounds like getting off easy, but we can go with it for the context of this article.  It continues in 43 by saying, “Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father.  Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.”  Not everyone has such ears to hear, and we see that on the nightly news.  Yet righteousness is about to have its day, and I’ll say to all the bad guys out there.  You had your time; we nicely gave you a chance, and now it’s time to pay, and pay you must. 

My thoughts about this came from a comment on this site from someone responding to me on my position on Issue 1, which is a vile constitutional attack on Ohio in new ways to introduce the most radical abortion policy in America that might as well be a modern version of sacrificing children to Baal and Moloch from the ancient land of Canaan, the very reason that God, Yahweh deemed that the Israelites should seize that land and destroy those people for their horrendous villainy.  Upon reading that comment, I thought it was quite suitable for the context needed to describe our present condition.  And it is not for the righteous to suffer as they have now for far too long.  It is up to the perpetrators of evil to gnash their teeth into a fine paste as they suffer punishment for all they have done.  Because what they did, they did on purpose.  They did it with maliciousness.  They had murder on their mind to hold power and manipulate the freedom of others in an occurrence of evil that is far worse than any other previous point in history, on such a vast scale that the human victims don’t even have a point of reference to draw from, except the Bible.  Only such events and thoughts have been captured over a vast span of human history, only to be reflected now when the world’s evil has so pompously displayed itself for all to see.  The gnashing of teeth indicates that it’s their turn to endure the pain they caused and for justice to find them swiftly and ruthlessly. 

There are other parts of the Bible where the gnashing of teeth is mentioned, and the point of reference is always where the wicked must pay for their actions under the hand of the righteous.  All this terror was unleashed with the assumption that the people would behave like sheep and go willingly to the slaughterhouse, and that part of that cover story was to use Biblical reference from the Revelation prophecy as a mass acceptance of fate itself.  Bad guys will be bad guys; we should all accept it and move on.  Jesus would come again to judge the living and the dead; we could go back to our business of appeasing our betters and leave the world alone to its crime and syndicates of ominous power and the abuses that spawn from it.  The bad guys in the world are blowing on the fires set by evil to perpetuate an agenda they profit from.  No question that is the case with Hamas attacking Israel, then all these Marxist-based Palestinian supporters rallying to the cause of victimizing themselves in the aftermath, as if the punishment coming to them, the needed gnashing of the teeth, was somehow Israel’s fault for just existing.  It all goes back to the establishment of Israel in the first place by Yahweh, who looked at the evils of Canaan, which would become Palestine, and deemed it unfit for occupation by a people who worshipped vile, despicable gods from the ancient past with bloodthirsty sacrifice.  Honestly, the issue was never appropriately settled, and now that same evil has been distributed upon the world stage in ways nobody has ever seen before, and now there is a judgment day upon us.  The righteous have the opportunity to gnash the teeth of the enemy. 

All these prosecutors who are trying to eradicate President Trump, to keep him from running in 2024, have it coming, and we don’t want to hear a lot of crying from them when gnashing their teeth will be the only acceptable response.  They did it to themselves.  Along with the punishments that must come from the Covid crowd and all the depopulation murderers who have been using many means of human destruction to propel their deathly agenda, such as abortion in Ohio, the killing of people with dangerous medicine which is very much a present problem and the complete degradation of our health system to accelerate pain and suffering so that big pharma can profit off the misery.  Yes, there are many things to pay for, and the righteous have the right and obligation to unleash their fury.  It wasn’t us who did all these evil things.  We didn’t conduct our lives in such a way.  And those who did have justice coming at them to grind them into dust, where there will be lots of gnashing of teeth.  It’s not like this is the first kind of righteous response that was called for.  But it is for the scale we are dealing with here, global in nature, essentially impacting every person in the world at the same time.  This has indeed been a global menace that has unleashed itself behind the spread of Marxism, and liberal politics masked behind secular fairness for the perpetuation of death and destruction at every opportunity.  And judgment day, in many ways, is the natural response.  And as evil is judged, they should expect things to go badly for them, and they will pray for the day when the gnashing of teeth is the worst.  Because they willingly participated in all this evil with the intent to destroy everything in their path.  And now they have been caught and will have to pay in ways like never before.  And as they gnash their teeth in the fires of Hell and eternal damnation, screaming from the top of their lungs at the pain of it all they need to remember the most important thing.  They did it to themselves.

Make Sure to Judge and Judge Often: Learning from Ecclesiastes 10:8

One of the dumbest things I have ever heard come out of the mouth of another human being is, “Don’t judge.”  Of course, we should judge, and we should put up high barriers around the things that we love.  I say, “judge and judge often.”  Have strong opinions and cast judgment aggressively everywhere.  And to best illustrate the necessity of this value, I think Ecclesiastes 10:8 best describes the need for review by saying, “he that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.”  One of the reasons we have the mess we have today on so many fronts is that we allowed ourselves to turn off this valuable ability that the human race has to change their environment.  Most animals in the world cannot come up with such conceptual faculties.  They can only function from their biological impulse.  But human beings can alter their environment through their intellect, and in that way, creating something of value and then protecting that value from the impediments of evil is one of the greatest attributes that we have, which is the meaning of that Ecclesiastes phrase.  We live in a world now run by the snakes of evil, as portrayed in the Garden of Eden story.  There are always snakes; the world is full of them and on many layers of life.  They don’t just come in one shape or size, but many.  Snakes are abundant in the world, and they are seeking evil for the way that evil feeds itself.  So, to advance in life, human beings must come up with some way that isolates the mechanisms of the snake, of evil, in our lives.  In our culture, we have created property rights and then defended those rights with barriers, represented in Ecclesiastes as “hedges.”

We can call something evil by its desire to remove value from consideration.  When the snake tempted Eve, we see clearly that the desire was to focus her mind on good and evil instead of eating from the Tree of Eternal Life, which is to say, a life of value.  For evil, it’s in removing value from society that it does its work, whether we are talking about desecrating our bodies from being temples of God, to the kind of language we use, or even having casual Fridays in a business climate.  Divorce has been one of the most intrusive evils to be enacted in our culture, the desire to destroy the concept of family so that children are left vulnerable in an evil world to the intentions of every vile specimen.  Evil wants easy access to the creations that spawn out of value, so desecrating any of those values is their primary objective.  It is why evil wants people to do drugs to abandon their religions, their families, their jobs, their politics, and their values.  Evil is the snakes always tempting Eve away from the Tree of Eternal Life and into the duality of conflict, which sin always controls by controlling what people value or don’t.  Judging others is essential because it does not allow evil to hide in the background of ambiguity and is at the core of any civilized society.  The Bible contains excellent wisdom accumulated from the efforts of the human race over many thousands of years, so it goes well beyond any religious assumption for the afterlife.  What the Bible does best is reflect values from lives well lived or not so well lived and provide that wisdom for future generations to build a foundation of judgment from. 

And that is why it is dangerous to cut down the hedges because that is where the snakes hide.  And when you cut them away, and there is no hiding place, the snakes will surely bite.  Hedges are barriers that we often place around our property to make sure that other people recognize our boundaries and our values.  We value things, whether it be a home, a spouse, children, a job, or a car.  It should be obvious when studying Marxism that much of the premise of collectivism is in removing barriers to ownership, such as saying, my wife, my country, my family, etc.  This is why open marriages are such a disgusting concept, the idea of sharing a spouse with strangers for the sexual excitement of it.  Not only does it desecrate the value of a lifetime commitment to another person, but it also defiles the idea of a marriage that creates a family at the most foundational level.  So we wear a wedding ring as a hedge to let others know we have boundaries.  Snakes might gather there to hide in wait, hoping to catch someone off guard and stumble into their lair of hiding so they might bite them or even consume them.  That is why we have locked doors in our homes, to keep out people who might do us harm.  That’s why we lock our cars in a parking lot so that anybody can’t get into them and drive them away.  So, too, must we have locks on our most personal thoughts and ideas.  Being open to the world is not a good thing because it allows the snakes of our lives easy entry into our most personal possessions.  And yes, the keys to Western Civilization are creating values and defending them because, in that process, we make social value, which the rest of the world is starving for. 

Of course, there must be standards and established protections around those things you love and care for.  And that the evil of the world will embed itself in those barriers but will keep clear of those things you value because of their natural inclination to hide.  That is the way to manage evil.  Not having standards allows evil to move anywhere and to hide in the open, where chaos can camouflage their intentions, which is the problem of modern times.  When we ask why there is so much evil in the world, we have removed our hedges and allowed sin to hide among us at close range instead of the safe distance of our established boundaries.  We must judge, set up barriers against evil, and cast opinions about it.  Once we listened to the dumb serpents in the Garden of Eden, we opened ourselves to this vile existence of living with and putting up with evil instead of keeping our minds on the things that matter.  And we learn what matters through possessions that we seek to protect their value from the world’s evils.  In that process, we keep our minds on the Tree of Knowledge, on the things that matter.  To best fight evil, we must maintain hedges that keep it from the things we most value.  We don’t open ourselves to evil and live without judgment.  To do that, we become no better than animals and every other lifeform just eating, reproducing, and fulfilling some lifecycle of some cellular decomposition.  To live our best life, turn to Ecclesiastes 10:8 and learn the wisdom of the past to bring value to the future and keep those snakes obscured at a safe distance.  Because at every opportunity, they will bite you because that’s what snakes do.
