I have come to that conclusion that only God can get US out of this mess. And that i am not sure if He would want to. He is not impersonal. But He will determine whether to levy judgement or mercy. Nations come and go. And it appears that we might witness the outcome of this epic battle. It wont be right side up until His return, in any case. As for those who love this one Nation under God, we are also not the type to employ "any means necessary" as does those who are avowed enemies of freedom. We for the most part are regular working folks who do not have the luxury of time or the wherewithal to walk away from family, job, and stability to stand alone or even in localized groups to do anything to thwart what is coming. It will be the classic divide and conquer, or any other means to isolate those who would stand. We have seen this already, and have a whole slew of political prisoners in the process. If there would be any pushback against the burgeoning totalitarian state, it would have to be as last resort, which means winner take all and any dissent or opposition will be dealt with, in other words, destroyed. I am not endorsing violent action. I also do believe what legal means we employ will fail in the process. Who in any position of authority is going to have the guts to stand up for the truth anymore? That does not mean i will give up. I am doing what i can to inform folks. And am i going to take matters into my own hands, or even a group of folks, and only end up a headline?? I do have no qualms about self-defense or helping another person out. Been there done that. My frens, this has been long in building. The opposition (which is really the 1%) has plenty of folks trained, funded, and more that happy to work evil upon freedom loving people. They dont have to punch a time clock and feed their family. They get their "support" and all the time in the world to hate and hurt people. Then the powers that be turn a blind eye. Actually, they encourage such mayhem. How will this all shake out? We shall see. Will there ever be a time when the American people stand up together for one last hurrah? It would take EVERYBODY. I cannot envision how that would work. Again, any one standing up will be identified and dealt with. For there will not be enough people standing up TOGETHER. Individuals and groups will be triangulated. I dont know what that means, but that is the word that comes up in my spirit. That is why either" 1. there is a plan and we dont know it nor are the operators to carry it out. 2. only God's intervention in whatever form He chooses. Reckon ive said enough to get "triangulated" myself. For some unfathomable reason, i do not give up hope. I do not know what is in me to keep me even optimistic. Oh, i know. God wins. If it becomes hell on earth, Heaven awaits. This does not mean i am sitting still. But i dont hafta talk about that.
