“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.” [R. Buckminster Fuller]

STOP PRESS - OLYMPICS PARIS 2024 - OPENING CEREMONY – AN OUTRAGE! At the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games the Satanists openly mocked Jesus Christ with a drag-queen re-enactment of the Last Supper our Lord Jesus Christ ate with His Disciples.

“But God will not be mocked.  Be not deceived; My Creator will not be mocked: for whatever a man sows, that shall he also reap”. [Galatians 6:7]

My Lord Jesus Christ, God’s Son of our Universe, will repay this blasphemy and sacrilege. He says for us to not avenge ourselves because He will do it and send the wicked to eternal destruction in fire: “Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place to wrath: for it is written, vengeance is mine; I will repay, said the Lord.” [Romans 12:19]

Christ will return to the Earth and walk among men, but this time in fiery judgement on the wicked, like these people.  “But you who suffer tribulation will be given relief along with us at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his powerful angels in a flaming fire, as he brings vengeance on those who do not know God and those who do not obey the good news about our Lord Jesus. These very ones will undergo the judicial punishment of everlasting destruction from before the Lord and from the glory of his strength.” [2 Thessalonians 1:7-9].  Even right thinking Jews are disgusted by this outrage.

There is nothing new under the sun, and this display of wickedness will be repaid to all those who designed and participated in this evil. The great judgment may not be far off:

• 11 And I saw a great white throne, and Him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

• 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

• 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

• 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

• 15 And whoever was not found written in the book of life is cast into the lake of fire. [Revelation 20:11-15]

• Christians Slam Paris Opening Ceremony for Woke Parody of the ‘Last Supper’ https://dailysceptic.org/2024/07/27/christians-slam-paris-opening-ceremony-for-woke-parody-of-last-supper/

Last Friday night, the 2024 Paris Olympics opening ceremony featured a pale horse from the Book of Revelations, sparking fears that Armageddon is about to arrive. During the ceremony, a pale horse raced at full speed with a rider donning an Olympic cape. The appearance of the pale horse resulted in thousands of social media users stating that it symbolised the pale horse spoken of in the Book of Revelation in the Bible.

• [Revelation 6:8] “And I looked, and behold, a pale horse! And its rider’s name was Death, and Hades followed him. And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by wild beasts of the earth.”

STOP PRESS 2: Gareth Roberts has written a savage review of the opening ceremony for the Spectator, that includes the following gem: “It was all very decadent, yes, but not in the way it thinks it was. Because this wasn’t French at all, but a display of American Cultural Imperialism, the goading and the power display of Wokeness, establishing the new sacred – Transgenderism, Multiculturalism – and repudiating and mocking the old; daring you to object. Director Thomas Jolly apparently said beforehand of his opus, ‘I wanted everyone to feel represented’. This is a telling remark. Because ‘everyone’ doesn’t actually mean everyone, it means only the narcissistic elements of newly sacralised minorities. Nobody else exists.”

The opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games is only the latest in a long series of vile attacks on our Creator and natural morality by the Antichrist by whom the Globalist elite hold the West hostage.

NOW BACK TO MORTAL MATTERS: BIG GOVERNMENT IS YOUR ENEMY:

BUT ON THE GLOBAL CHESSBOARD - Why is Chinese President Xi Jinping moving so fast at this time to exert control over peripheral waters?  Prominent China analyst, Willy Lam wrote last October that China's leader perhaps sees a closing window of opportunity and therefore is in a hurry to annex territory.

• Whether he goes to war or not, he is getting ready to do so. Both the Financial Times and CNN have reported that businesses have been establishing military units inside their organisations. "Chinese Companies Are Raising Militias Like It's the 1970s," the cable network headlined.

• Xi is engaged in the fastest military build-up since WW2.  In addition, he is purging military officers opposed to war, trying to sanction-proof his regime, stockpiling grain and other commodities, surveying the US for nuclear weapons strikes, and mobilising civilians for war.

• His economic policies emphasise war preparation, and he looks determined to take China into battle, regardless of prospects. "Even if we cannot win, we must fight," Xi is reported to have said to military officers in 2017, in connection with Taiwan.

• I believe that Xi wants war, or at least a ramping up of tensions, to prevent senior Chinese leaders from moving against him. He is not looking to rally the Chinese people with provocative actions or even an attack; he wants to defang political opponents in the Communist Party.

• Xi may not yet have made the decision to go to war, but he has clearly made the decision to risk war. That means he can strike when we least expect it, (Sun Tzu)

(Photo by Mark Schiefelbein/AFP via Getty Images).  In recent weeks, China has surged its naval fleet into both surrounding and far away waters.

Most significantly, the People's Liberation Army Navy sent two strike groups into the South China Sea. The larger, centred on the Shandong aircraft carrier, operated off the main Philippine island of Luzon before transiting into the Western Pacific for blue water flight operations. The other is an Expeditionary Strike Group led by a Type 075 Yushen-class amphibious assault ship, one of China's largest and most advanced. Four of China's Type 055 Renhai-class cruisers, described as "the most lethal surface combatant in the world," escorted the two strike groups.

China's newest aircraft carrier, the Fujian, has been on its third set of sea trials. China and Russia began "Exercise Joint Sea-2024" at the Zhanjiang port in southern Guangdong province, the headquarters of the Chinese navy's South Sea Fleet.  A total of 56 aircraft, the most ever in a single day, according to Taiwan's Ministry of National Defence, flew into Taiwan's air-defence identification zone, some coming as close as 33 nautical miles off the southern tip of the main island of Taiwan. Another 10 Chinese planes flew outside the zone at the same time.

Chinese Coast Guard cutter 5901, dubbed "the Monster" because of its 12,000-ton displacement, was spotted near Sabina Shoal off the Philippines, in the South China Sea.  Finally, four Chinese naval combatants transited nearby Alaskan islands, staying out of territorial waters but coming inside the US Exclusive Economic Zone, the band of water between 12 and 200 nautical miles from the shoreline.

As James Fanell, co-author of Embracing Communist China: America's Greatest Strategic Failure, told Gatestone, this is the fifth time since 2015 that China dispatched warships inside the American EEZ.

"In the past couple weeks, the Chinese Communist Party has demonstrated to the region—and more importantly to Washington that the People's Republic of China is the master of the seas in the Indo-Pacific," said Fanell, a former US Navy captain who served as director of Intelligence and Information Operations in the US Pacific Fleet.

Why is Chinese President Xi Jinping moving so fast at this time to exert control over peripheral waters?  Prominent China analyst Willy Lam wrote last October that China's leader perhaps sees a closing window of opportunity and therefore is in a hurry to annex territory.

At a June conference of military officers in one of China's most famous revolutionary bases, Xi reportedly made dire-sounding statements. "We are here in Yan'an to hold a military meeting, preparing for a civil war,"  he said, in one version of his talk. The text of his remarks, now widely circulating, remain unconfirmed.

Whether he goes to war or not, he is getting ready to do so. Both the Financial Times and CNN have reported that businesses have been establishing military units inside their organisations. "Chinese Companies Are Raising Militias Like It's the 1970s," the cable network headlined.

Xi is engaged in the fastest military build-up since WW2. In addition, he is purging military officers opposed to war, trying to sanction-proof his regime, stockpiling grain and other commodities, surveying the US for nuclear weapons strikes, and mobilising civilians for war. At the same time, he is reasserting state control over the economy, financial markets, and virtually all other aspects of society. He is, in short, bringing back totalitarian controls to China.

Those controls are, among other things, impacting the economy. Beijing on July 15 reported 4.7% year-on-year GDP growth in the second quarter. The problem is that Xi refuses to empower consumers so that they can create a consumption-based economy. Why would he reject near-unanimous advice to put money into the hands of ordinary Chinese? Among other reasons, doing so would undercut his efforts to build a wartime economy.

"Xi Jinping's repudiation of the progressive 'opening and reform' agenda of Deng Xiaoping and his successors has led to a downward spiral. This is matched by increasingly popular dissatisfaction with Xi's repressive personality cult leadership."

Xi has a chance, perhaps his last, to reverse trends. The Communist Party's Third Plenum, which started on July 15, is held once every five years and is traditionally devoted to economic matters. Optimists had hoped that Xi would signal new policies, but now expectations are low as it appears he will instead double down on state-led initiatives to bolster manufacturing and infrastructure spending.

After all, war, especially war on Taiwan, would be exceedingly unpopular with China's people. Burton, a former Canadian diplomat serving in Beijing, said, "the sole option for Xi would be to put China on a war footing and engage in precipitous action against Taiwan or some other neighbour."

Xi's hero, Mao Zedong, rallied the Chinese people with the Cultural Revolution not to obtain their support but to use them to take down senior leaders who had been plotting to depose him. Xi might adopt this tactic, except this time looking for a quick seizure of territory or maybe just keeping regional tensions high.

The situation, however, could get out of hand, triggering conflict around the region, or the world. Xi, unfortunately, might become desperate, and if the situation continues to deteriorate he may not care about the odds.  Xi may not yet have made the decision to go to war, but he has clearly made the decision to risk war. That means he can strike when we least expect it (Sun Tzu).

PUTIN CALLS FOR "FULL-SCALE IMPLEMENTATION" OF THE DIGITAL RUBLE

Putin calls for "full-scale implementation" of digital ruble

IS THIS THE FUTURE OF THE WESTERN WORLD?  It is already the case in the UK. Looking at the situation in Britain's new Labour government, one can only ask: Where does it go from here? (Op-ed.)  Looking at England today, Paul Verlaine would rewrite: “Je suis l’Empire à la fin de la décadence”. (“I am the Empire at the end of decadence”).

The great Jewish historian David Abulafia writes in The Telegraph that the “survival of the United Kingdom as a beacon of freedom” is at risk. The warning of one of the leading experts on the Middle Ages should not go unnoticed.

After 14 years of Conservative flop, Labour's flop begins. Keir Starmer, the new PM, lost many sitting Labour MPs and potential cabinet ministers to “pro-Gaza independents”: Shockat Adam (Leicester), Adnan Hussain (Blackburn) and Iqbal Hussain Mohamed (Dewsbury).  We are witnessing the emergence of explicitly Islamic internal politics, with members elected on truly Islamic lists. The pro-Hamas team are now the sixth largest political bloc in Parliament!

GIBSON WARNS, COUPS AND RIGGED ELECTIONS ARE JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG WHEN IT COMES TO THE UNSPEAKABLY EVIL CRIMES OF THE ELITE.  Mel Gibson enraged the establishment in 2017 by going on record denouncing Hollywood as a “den of parasites” who “feast on the blood of kids.”

The MSM quickly pounced on Gibson, deployed fact checkers, including Snopes to declare his revelations to be fake news, and ordered social media sites to scrub every video and article from the internet.

George Orwell warned us that in the future the elites would “memory-hole” inconvenient information. This is exactly what they did with Gibson’s revelations about Hollywood. In short, Mel Gibson was cancelled. Except it didn’t work. Why? Because we ‘The People’ understand that Gibson is a truth-teller and those who are desperate to silence him and destroy his career are the ones with skeletons in their closet.

Now, six years later, Mel Gibson has declared that he has “nothing left to lose” and is determined to play his part in exposing the truth about the cabal that runs the world.  Due to personal experiences in the heart of Hollywood, Gibson understands that children are currency in Hollywood and the global elite are a pack of blood-sucking vampires and paedophiles who need to be exposed to the masses and then destroyed.

More than anything else, Gibson is determined to eradicate the evil of elite paedophilia and child trafficking regardless of the personal consequences. That’s why he helped produce Sound of Freedom and an upcoming documentary about the global child trafficking network.  We talked about the tragedy at the southern border and the horrific child trafficking that’s happening the day the photo was taken.

 Mel Gibson’s heart and soul are in the right place.   We are praying for you and rooting for you.   God bless you Mel! https://t.co/GLO8GcOEte pic.twitter.com/jIaYEmur2M — Kari Lake (@KariLake) June 7, 2023

While the mainstream media continues to disparage him and Hollywood studios attempt to cancel him, Gibson has been busy rescuing children from the child trafficking network and roping in other entertainment industry veterans with the means to make a difference.

As the Sound of Freedom’s Tim Ballard explains, Gibson did not even want credit for the final cut of the ground-breaking movie.  As Ballard explained, children are forced into child sex trafficking during times of chaos and destruction. The aftermath of a hurricane. The aftermath of an earthquake. During and after wars.  Chaos and destruction is the modus operandi of the global elite.

Sex trafficking, especially when it comes to the buying and selling of young girls, has become big business in America. In 2011, it was the fastest growing business in organised crime and the second most-lucrative commodity traded illegally after drugs and guns. Consider this: every two minutes, a child is exploited in the sex industry.

As investigative journalist, Amy Fine Collins notes, “It’s become more lucrative and much safer to sell malleable teens than drugs or guns. A pound of heroin or an AK-47 can be retailed once, but a young girl can be sold 10 -15 times a day and a ‘righteous’ pimp confiscates 100% of her earnings.

As Ernie Allen of the National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children points out, “The only way not to find this in any American city is simply not to look for it.” Where did this appetite for young children come from?  Look around you!

Children have been sexualised for years now in music videos, on billboards, in TV ads, and in clothing stores like Target. Marketeers who created a demand for young flesh and a ready supply of hyper-sexualised children.  None of this was an accident.  As Hollywood veteran James Woods said, Hollywood is “one hundred times more evil” than your worst fears.

The entertainment industry and the mainstream media are determined to keep the epidemic of paedophilia under wraps. They continue to deny there is a problem, despite the evidence of millions of children going missing every year.  Why? Because paedophilia and child trafficking are intricately linked to the global control system operated by the elite.

World leaders like Biden are compromised and controlled by the elite who use depraved figures like Jeffrey Epstein and P. Diddy to gain kompromat on powerful figures.  Former President of The Club of Rome and former Executive Director of the United Nations, Calin Georgescu has blown the whistle on the paedophilia of his former colleagues, declaring: “The oligarchs run the United Nations and we know that they have a paedophilia system.”

Brave truth-tellers like Georgescu, Mel Gibson, and the Sound of Freedom team of Tim Ballard and Jim Caviezel are determined to bring this truth to light.  There is no doubt the MSM will try and cancel Mel Gibson all over again. If they cannot silence him in this way, as he believes, then the dangers for Gibson could be far more serious.  It is important that we support him and his work and do not let the MSM smear him with lies and fake news.   Source

• Mel Gibson: Biden ‘Sacrificed’ By Illuminati As New Satanic Leader ‘Selected’ In Ancient Ritual  https://www.planet-today.com/2024/07/mel-gibson-biden-sacrificed-by.html

KAMALA HARRIS COULD BECOME THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF THE WESTERN WORLD – But what’s in a name?

Have you ever considered that some people have names that describe them rather appropriately?  I had a bank manager named Mr. Price and a merchandiser named Mr. Stockem.  I am guided by my Creator and He brings weird things to me every day.  I am thus directed to publish His words.

Shortly after the Biden administration commenced, a small but vocal minority of white evangelical pastors revived a familiar insult from history. After only two days in office, cries of “Jezebel” began to appear on social media from self-identified Christians describing Vice President Kamala Harris.

Most stemmed from an initial tweet by Tom Buck, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Lindale, Texas. As people around the country were celebrating Harris as a role model for their daughters, he wrote, “I can’t imagine any truly God-fearing Israelite who would’ve wanted their daughters to view Jezebel as an inspirational role model because she was a woman in power.”

A flurry of posts arguing for and against his statement followed, and even some Sunday services joined in describing the vice president as the Old Testament villain. Phoenix pastor James White described the backlash to his friend Buck’s comments to the sounds of congregational laughter.

Later reporting by Baptist News Global revealed that Pastor Steve Swafford of First Baptist in Rockwall, Texas, had actually invoked the name before Buck in a January 3 sermon that has since been taken offline.

Swafford, a Southern Baptist leader, worried out loud about then President-Elect Biden’s mental state calling him a “cognitively dysfunctional president.”  He then revealed his true worry: “What if something happens to him and Jezebel has to take over? Jezebel Harris, isn’t that her name?”

Buck later stood by his post, saying he likened the vice president to Jezebel because of her “godless character.”  Yet, the derogatory name-calling was a sad commentary on the reception from many Christians for the first woman, and woman of colour, to hold the vice presidency.

While many were shocked, it was not surprising that these voices fell back on the complicated symbolism of “Jezebel,” which carries a long history loaded with sexism, racism, and dehumanisation. J.D. Greear, the president of the Southern Baptist Convention, criticised the “Jezebel” rhetoric, tweeting that “some pastors are likely unaware of the history of certain racial stereotypes” in using the name for Harris. That naiveté may or may not be true, but either way, it’s vital that pastors and Americans know the history.

BIBLICAL HISTORY.  The name originates with a princess. She was the daughter of the king of the port cities of Tyre and Sidon, who doubled as the high priest of local god Ashtoreth. Jezebel was not an Israelite by birth, but a pagan. Israel became her adopted country after she married the Israelite King Ahab, who in the biblical text is depicted as a wicked ruler. After her marriage, Jezebel’s name is changed retroactively in the Hebrew text to protest her actions.

A play on words transformed the queen’s actual name “i-zebul,” meaning “Where is the prince [Baal],” into “i-zebel,” meaning “Where is the dung?”  The new moniker told the reader that the pagan fertility god Baal was equivalent to excrement.  At a deeper level, this sentiment also described the woman who was blamed for some of the most corrupt and atrocious acts in the Bible, including mass murder and threats against biblical heroes, and helped justify why her violent life met a violent end.

In the biblical narrative, a man named Jehu ferociously seizes what was by then the throne of Ahab’s son at the command of God. While rapidly consolidating his power, he rides into the city and encounters the widowed queen mother looking out from an upper room. Wasting no time, he commands allies to “throw her down” from the window to the street below where “some of her blood spattered on the wall and on the horses, which trampled on her.”

The body is left in the street, while a victory feast commences. After the meal, the new king sends servants to bury the dead monarch but “they found no more of her than the skull and the feet and the palms of her hands.” The story ends with a grisly call-back to an earlier prophesy declaring: “In the territory of Jezreel the dogs shall eat the flesh of Jezebel; the corpse of Jezebel shall be like dung on the face of the field in the territory of Jezreel, so that no one can say, this is Jezebel.”

Ahab and Jezebel’s marriage had been political like most royalty of the period. Yet, bringing in a pagan outsider violated a regular admonition in Hebrew scripture. Thus, the original story and complaint against the Phoenician queen could be understood as a warning against corruption.

But in the centuries since it also has been leveraged to support sexist takes on the very nature of women themselves, particularly those who are perceived as the “other” in terms of religion, race, or ethnicity. Most theologically conservative scholars insist the historical Jezebel was indeed wicked.

Other biblical scholars, like Athalya Brenner and Nyasha Junior, maintain that she had unfriendly biographers from the start. Though Ahab was also engaged in evil acts, the story pins the blame on Jezebel, seeming to argue that she was the one who influenced and corrupted him.

It’s an old tale, one seen reflected in the story of Genesis and the roles of Adam and Eve. In some Christian circles, evil in the world was often blamed on the original “sinner,” Eve, who allegedly corrupted her husband Adam in the garden.

By the time the book of Revelation in the New Testament was composed, the name Jezebel had already become a metaphor to describe a seductive evil. Revelation 2:20 warns: “You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophet and is teaching and beguiling my servants to practice fornication and to eat food sacrificed to idols.”

This lasting image was quickly weaponised into the “temptress” trope that stretched much further than simply worrying about corruption. Bernard of Clair Vaux, a monk living from 1090 to 1153, claimed the fornication of Jezebel made whole cities uninhabitable for righteous people, and her actions led to the downfall of many men, while also often neglecting to mention her husband. Interpretations like these perpetuated the idea that a sinful man was not as guilty as the woman with whom he was involved.

IN CONSERVATIVE AMERICAN CIRCLES, there is a precedent for calling women Jezebel within a theological or cultural disagreement. In a 1906 sermon entitled “Shall Woman Preach,” the Baptist W. P. Harvey argued against women in the pulpit, stating: “But, alas! there are many dark shadows and crimes of women in power. Jezebel brought ruin on Ahab and Israel.”

More recently, two outspoken Southern Baptist women, the Bible teacher Beth Moore and Karen Swallow Prior, an English professor, were labelled as Jezebels by critics for such crimes as advocating for assault victims, teaching men, and taking public stances on religious controversies. Moore has even quipped, “You can’t be a woman of any influence whatsoever in Christianity if you have not yet been called Jezebel.”

For some Christians, to be a woman in leadership remains a spiritually suspect reality. And the misogyny at work in the name “Jezebel” was only compounded when it was adopted into the United States’ history of racial prejudice. Theologian James Cone notes that after the Civil War, Black men were “transformed “to menacing ‘black beast rapists” while Black women became the temptress.

He writes in ‘The Cross and the Lynching Tree’, “The image of black women was changed from nurturing ‘Negro mammies’ to salacious Jezebels, nearly as corrupting to white civilization as black men.” Redefining Black women as “Jezebels” excused rape and forced prostitution, claiming instead that all Black women desired sexual relations with white men. And when society looked for someone to blame, this new classification allowed for further violence against black women and their children as a sick echo of “throw her down” from the biblical narrative of Jezebel.

The harmful sexualised Jezebel stereotype of black women and girls continued after emancipation and Jim Crow, and it continues today. More recently, as many white evangelicals have reframed the ideas of liberalism and progressivism as a type of pseudo-religion, the pagan queen has a new false god.

Suddenly, modern “Jezebels” are not simply offering generic temptation but are now leading people into the Democratic Party. Hillary Clinton and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) have been called “Jezebel,” and accusations of them being agents of Satan or even demonic beings have become commonplace.

The labelling of Vice President Kamala Harris is only the latest misuse of the racist and sexist Jezebel trope. It required no particular behaviour on her part. Instead, Harris fit the demographic as a woman of colour and a leader of progressive liberalism. While many prominent faith leaders spoke out against this language, others have doubled down, including one who claimed a narrower and “biblical” use of the term against someone who corrupts a nation spiritually.

Most white evangelical leaders using this derogatory term today deny summoning all these connotations, yet history aligns against them. They play with fire, even if they do not know it is hot. Embracing a hyper-masculinised Christian interpretation, many imagine themselves as the biblical warrior-king riding to save the faithful from ruin.

In this effort, they reinterpret any woman in a position of authority or of colour as the Pagan Queen. However, while imagining themselves the heroes of the story, they are really showing themselves to be the dogs waiting to devour their prey.
