Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth,Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The Lord is his name:
That strengthens the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress.
They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly.
Forasmuch therefore as your treading is upon the poor, and ye take from him burdens of wheat: ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have planted pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink wine of them.
For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right.
Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time.
Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the Lord, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken.
Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the Lord God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.
Therefore the Lord, the God of hosts, the Lord, saith thus; Wailing shall be in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skillful of lamentation to wailing.And in all vineyards shall be wailing: for I will pass through thee, saith the Lord.
Woe unto you that desire the day of the Lord! to what end is it for you? the day of the Lord is darkness, and not light. As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
Shall not the day of the Lord be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?
I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.
Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.
Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.
But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?
But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves. ~Amos 5:7-26...
I believe in no God, no invisible man in the sky. But there is something more powerful than each of us, a combination of our efforts, a Great Chain of industry that unites us. But it is only when we struggle in our own interest that the chain pulls society in the right direction. The chain is too powerful and too mysterious for any government to guide. Any man who tells you different either has his hand in your pocket, or a pistol to your neck. ~Andrew Ryan, Bioshock
...
And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. ~Luke 2:1-14
America has had a busy couple of days.
Trump wants a
battleship, named after himself.
The last battleship, the HMS Vanguard, entered service in 1946 and she never saw action. Hell, the entire concept of battleships was outdated by the end of World War I with the entry into service of HMS Argus in 1918 followed by the USS Langley in 1920.
The Epstein files are getting out because of incompetent redactions. Trump now stands credibly accused of Infanticide.
As is the 60 Minutes CECOT segment that Bari Weiss incompetently tried to bury.
And I saw this, some Christian preacher who's running to replace some Republican that got busted for distributing CSAM got caught preaching against food assistance for the poor.
It's Christmas Eve.
Or in proper Republican parlance, apparently, Merry Molochmas, everybody.
IF
We, The People,
don't step up and
stop this bullshit, America is going to face God's wrath. In the Old Testament, God rained fire from the sky and turned people into pillars of salt for a hell of a lot
less.
I cannot put it any more simply than that.
And if you're one of the people who's either blinded by partisan fervor or just straight up stupid and tolerates this fucking bullshit?? Well, if the Book of Revelation is to be believed, you're gonna have a real fun time.
It's time to pick a side.
Being Lukewarm, making excuses, isn't gonna cut it anymore in the New Year.
Such isn't even an option.
Or perhaps I should say Republicans don't want to give people that option anymore.
We've got to take the neighborhood back. We've got to go in there. Just forget telling your child to go to the Peace Corps. It's right around the corner. It's standing on the corner. It can't speak English. It doesn't want to speak English. I can't even talk the way these people talk. "Why you ain't where you is go." I don't know who these people are. And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk. Then I heard the father talk. This is all in the house. You used to talk a certain way on the corner and you got into the house and switched to English. Everybody knows it's important to speak English except these knuckleheads. You can't land a plane with "why you ain't…". You can't be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth. There is no Bible that has that kind of language. Where did these people get the idea that they're moving ahead on this? Well, they know they're not, they're just hanging out in the same place, five or six generations sitting in the projects when you're just supposed to stay there long enough to get a job and move out. ~Bill Cosby, the "Pound Cake" speech.
It's either you worship Trump as God, you accept a version of Christianity (and trust me, other faiths will suffer the same fate or worse) that's so watered down as to be heretical and useless (and really, they want people to be too stupid to know the difference) or you accept the fact that this is going to come down to a fight and you start gearing up for it.
I fully expect these motherfuckers to try to roll out some kind of Americanized version of the Chinese "Three Self Patriotic Church" by the end of 2026.
Because if we're being honest, I guarantee you that even MAGA Evangelicalism will not be enough for These Fucking People in the end.
And gods forbid Trump kicks the bucket soon. You think these assholes went whole hog to try and deify Charlie Kirk, or more recently some dipshit College Republican who got shot at Brown University that nobody had ever heard of??
You ain't seen nothing yet.
I have to go over to my Mom's today for Christmas. I'm almost tempted to go through my old books and see if I still have the Left Behind series novel that described the funeral of the Antichrist, Nicolae Carpathia.
I honestly remember too much of that book (reading that book, I also realized how much of a money-making scam that series had turned into) as well as too much of the day that I bought it in general because that's also the day I first met my ex-wife. We met for coffee at Border's Books in Traverse City and (sadly) I ended up taking her up on the offer of going back to her place.
Long story short, it will be so lavish as to defy the imagination, they'll try to stuff him like Vladimir Lenin and they'll try and make some kind of Image Of The Beast so as to continue the grift.
(And I pointed out the other aspect for a reason, because of the huge amount of insanity and sexual immorality that'll go with all of this.)
When Trump goes, These Fucking People will try the same shit.
(Only now you'll just get somebody's spunk in the mail. Ew.)
Not because any of them actually like Trump, but because he represented their best hope of realizing their dream of remaking America from a nation into an HOA for rich white people.
These fucking people have turned America into Babylon.
As in the Babylon of Revelation.
But Babylon always falls, indeed it is prophesied to do so again.
Simply because that's what Empire is, Babylon.
This time they're just being really stupid about it with AI Jesus and Antichrist.
And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she said in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judges her.And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. ~Revelation 18:1-10
It
will fall, but something
must come after.
And as for what that something is?
Well, again, you either believe in freedom or you don't.
And you're either willing to fight for it or you're not.
Better make up your mind, because it's either "fight" or "an eternity of slavery."
It's going to come down to the choice of serving the God of the Heavens (or at least understanding that freedom comes from something) or serving Devils and Idols of Gold...as willingly personified by Trump.
Make your choice.
[Cassian plays Nemik's audio diary]
Karis Nemik: There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy. Remember this. Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they've already enlisted in the cause. Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. And then remember this. The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that. And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire's authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege. Remember this. Try. ~From the Star Wars series Andor, S1.E12 "Rix Road."
And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
If any man have an ear, let him hear.
He that leads into captivity shall go into captivity: he that kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he speaks as a dragon.
And he exercises all the power of the first beast before him, and causes the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
And he doeth great wonders, so that he makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
And deceive them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
And he caused all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. ~Revelation 13, King James Bible.
