I've got some random stuff I need to share.
You should not get the impression I'm a cult follower of Ben Davidson and the Suspicious Observers. Anyone silly enough to listen to Jordan Peterson and Ben Shapiro can't be right about everything, and Ben Davidson likes those two. So I'll listen to Davidson when he talks about stuff with good solid support regarding astronomy and astrophysics and leave it at that.
The whole gamut of American life previously could be summed up in observing two sliding scales. One had to do with economic freedom and the other with social freedom. What we face today has completely forgotten that. There was a time when leftism meant less economic freedom and more social freedom, while the right was just the opposite. The whole thing has been twisted and perverted and the classical terminology no longer means anything. The left and right are long gone. What we have now are globalists and neocons. Both are working toward a one world government, and the same elite billionaires would be ruling either way.
Those of us who embrace the Covenant are on an entirely different planet from either the classical or the current system of reckoning. The Bible is eastern feudal and tribal. The feudalism sets our economic policy and the tribalism is our social policy, all under the Covenant. We reject the entire range of western notions about politics and economics, and they return the favor.
The State is wrong no matter what flavor it claims. I can tell you that states choosing some form of socialist or communist policies are trying to gain the blessings of feudalism without the Covenant. They try to displace the tribe with the State, and it doesn't work. Their goals are correct, but the mechanism is all wrong, which is why it inevitably fails.
There are some other odd attempts to gain the blessings of the Covenant without actually embracing it. For example, the Japanese by cultural training have a very strong sense of seeking public welfare. Among Japanese adults, it's a social instinct to pick up litter and leave things clean and tidy. They are obsessively polite and orderly. We hope we can get our covenant people to act just a little like that. Jesus taught that loving your neighbor as yourself resembles some of that.
Since we live in a disorderly society, the best we can do is try to instill in our children that strong sense of identity and privilege that comes with the Covenant. Don't make them blindly compliant with every adult; they still need to understand that this world is fallen. They need to learn to expect everyone else to be varying kinds and degrees of nasty, but that we cannot allow ourselves to wallow in the mud like that.
I'm rather dismayed at how many adults lack a sense of proportion these days. There are some folks who share with me emails and video links that clings to the Sin of Q-Anon. Here's the problem with Q-Anon: It was a big PsyOp, a propaganda trick to mislead conservative minded folks and keep them distracted. The real issue was to keep them believing in the system instead of rightly rejecting it and revolting. So this Q-Anon kept promising that someone in the government was going to eventually do something to bring the crooks in Washington DC to justice. That's the Sin of Q-Anon. And now that Q-Anon has faded, there are several other charlatans trying to use the same ploy. There are two or three groups claiming to have some kind of judicial legal authority to investigate things like the COVID lock-downs and promoting toxic vaccines, and they make these nice videos pretending to have hearings that will eventually result in legal action that the perpetrators cannot escape.
People are so desperate to "take back the system" that they'll believe anything. The charlatans are using this to raise funds or to sell garbage on their websites. Don't be a sucker for that nonsense. Only a genuine revolution will fix anything of that sort, and if the various state governments secede in some measure, that's about as close as we'll ever get.
May the Lord bless you and guide you to His truth.
