Where is That Rescue Chopper?

Time for an update on my adjustment to the disastrous election, plus some surprising news about my experiences on Christian Mingle.

I feel much better about life now that I’ve adjusted to the fact that America is lost. It’s like that moment when it finally gets through to you that your friend will always be a crack whore. There is grief, but there is also relief because you just put down an unreasonable burden you could not carry. America has been a godless leftist nation for a long time. It was only by God’s grace that any conservative, God-friendly presidents were elected, and God’s grace only persists while there is profit in it. Fighting for America to turn itself around is like hogtying your crack whore friend and forcing her to watch Christian TV. It won’t work, and while you’re doing it, you could be helping someone who will listen, with much less heartache and aggravation.

Today God gave me a revelation. When you’re in a foreign country doing mission work, and the government is crazy, you don’t let it destroy your joy. You’re not there to fix the government, and you know most people will pay no attention to you. You’re just there for the nation within a nation; the children of God. America is more or less like Venezuela now, and Somalia is on the way. The government will not right itself, and it has popular support which is not going to go away. That’s fine. I’m a dual citizen, and my primary nation is the body of Christ.

I will not pray for this place. I will not demonstrate. If my part of the country secedes, and it looks like it’s a good idea to provide some support, I might–might–consider supporting THAT country more strongly, but my plan right now is to pay taxes, obey the law, and wave from the dock as America sinks.

I’ll try to be more unified with my primary nation and its invincible commander in chief. For dense people, I am referring to the body of Christ and God. I will not be joining a politics-driven guerrilla army unless the choice is being killed in my house, and probably not even then.

As for Christian Mingle, a really funny thing happened. On my first day, during the first couple of hours, I didn’t know 95% of the women who tried to initiate contact were African scammers. Crazy me; I expected most members to be genuine. One person pestered me for my phone number, and I gave her a tech-giant email address I don’t care about.

She bugged me about prayer in tongues, and she cited some Bible verses that were important to her. I say “she,” but it could be a man for all I know. I told her a few things I thought would help her, and she called me “teacher” and seemed very grateful. Then her account vanished, and I figured that had to mean she was a scammer. I marveled that a scammer could be so sophisticated. She kept telling me she was a normal Christian Mingle member, but I actually told her she acted like a sophisticated scammer. She disappeared.

After that, I came to understand that a huge number of the fake women who were chasing me were in Africa. I got one to admit she was a hairdresser in Ghana. I started responding to “smile” messages with this: “Nigerian? Ghanaian? Ivorian?” One lady responded with this: “Lol. Togo.”

Out of curiosity, I sent the first lady an email. It said, “West Africa, right?” She responded and admitted it. She apologized and said she wished she could have told me at the start. I let it go.

Later on, I could not stop thinking about the things she said about her faith. What if this was a real woman who wanted to get closer to God, and I was cutting her off just because she was a criminal? I felt like an idiot, but I sent an email saying I didn’t know if she was really a Christian, but that if she was, she really needed to pray in tongues. She responded and said she was a Christian who spoke in tongues and that she would not lie about that. I said it was nice if something good had come out of the whole thing. And that was that.

So I went to this ridiculous site, thinking there was a 2% chance I might find someone, expecting to sift through Americans, and what happened? I ended up ministering to a foreign criminal in Africa.

It almost seems like God is having a joke, but I don’t think he does that.

I am still being swamped with phony inquiries, a woman who is 10 years older than I am “smiled” at me, and another who is pushing 80 liked my profile. Who do they think I am? Ashton Kutcher? I think it would be more productive to drive to Orlando and walk around malls wearing a T-shirt saying, “Date me.”

I just got a new message and photos from a “lady” who claims to be Catholic. I responded before the photos arrived, declining and saying I was not Catholic. In one of the photos, she is wearing a very short see-through nightie, and her enormous breasts and her thong are clearly visible. I laughed so hard, the birds must think I’m having a conniption.

I hope “Cheryl” in Africa puts my advice to use. That’s worth a lot even if Christian Mingle is a total washout otherwise.

No Profit in Prophets

The misinformation tsunami is getting pretty deep.

A Youtuber I like put up a video about how God is mad at Christians who don’t believe the prophecies about Trump winning the election. You know…the election was in November, the electors met in December, Biden was inaugurated in January, the courts ruled against Trump, Trump can no longer communicate with the American people, and–call me a pessimist–it sort of looks like a done deal.

People can backpedal if they want. They can say, “I meant a second term that will come later.” That’s not what they predicted. Sorry. The best Trump can hope for, barring a miracle the likes of which the world hasn’t seen in centuries, is that Trump will be resurrected as president of part of America after the cold civil war turns hot.

The Youtuber I watch linked to a video by a lady named Kat Kerr. I clicked.

I know. I have no one to blame but myself.

I saw an elderly lady with bright pink hair, wearing a shawl. She said a few words in a normal voice, and then she started bellowing that God was going to do this and that. Judging by her tone, the idea was that God was really sore at me.

Would God be angry at me for doubting prophecies that had already been proven wrong? God isn’t going to punish anyone for that. If the Biblical prophets had blown it repeatedly, God wouldn’t have expected people to believe them.

Kat Kerr promotes herself as a prophet. Doesn’t the Bible say something about what happens to people who promote themselves? Something negative. And the pink hair…not a great sign.

Unlike 99% of the people who watched the video, I checked her record. In 2018, she said God would turn the map red, meaning Republicans would sweep everything.

Remember how that didn’t happen?

She also predicted Trump would win last year in a landslide. Afterward, she responded to critics by redefining “landslide.” Something about how misdeeds would be uncovered. Sort of like ruins in a desert after an earthquake, I would guess.

That hasn’t happened.

There was also a link to a video by an African lady. She said God’s will would be done in America. He wouldn’t allow things that were not his will to happen. I had the audacity to comment. I asked why we had been allowed to kill 60,000,000 babies.

Everyone else was lapping it up, however.

God’s plan is for men, not women, to lead the church. Whenever he chooses a woman, it has to be because a man refused. Feminism came from hell. God is male. Jesus is male. The prophets were male. Adam, Enoch, Moses, Joshua, David, and all the kings of Judah and Israel were male. The disciples were male. All of the books of the Bible were written by men. The human beings who are subordinate to God, on the other hand, are the bride of Christ.

Am I the only one sensing a subtle pattern?

Women desire attention considerably more than men do. They will do strange things in order to get it. I don’t intend to get sucked into following unfulfilled women who are not content with their place in the plan and who crave eyeballs and ears.

God will only permit conservative leadership? Okay. Some things need to be explained, then. Here are a few: FDR, Jimmy Carter, LBJ, Bill Clinton, two Obama election victories, and Joe Biden. I’m only looking at the presidency. It gets worse when you look at other offices. Let’s not even discuss Christian nations that have already fallen. You have to be addled to think God won’t allow leftists to rule. Have you heard of Russia? Do you know what happened in 1917?

Trump is over. America is over. You need to stop trusting the wrong things. Bad times are here, right now, and you need to join the flock and get God’s help. Israel is the only nation that will survive forever, and it includes those of us who are grafted in.

I have to wonder what the red-cap prophets will be saying 6 months from now, while Trump is still out of office and still unable to communicate with us. What will they say when America turns into Cuba? Will they say it’s just a test? Will they tell us Trump is still coming? What if Trump dies? Will they tell us he’s going to be resurrected?

Our Cuban-style future is beginning. There will be “land reform.” If you have a nice house on a big lot, it will be given to someone with the right color skin. There will be correction of financial “inequity.” Wealth, not just income, will be taken away and given to people who are too irresponsible to be trusted even with food stamps. You’ll lose the right to vote. Disarmament is a given. Secession is on the table. How will the red-cap prophets redefine this as victory?

It reminds me of the way people will say a person who died from cancer was healed. “He doesn’t have cancer now.” If that’s healing, why didn’t Jesus run sick people through with a sword?

You don’t really have to pray for a sick person in order for him to die, and God doesn’t have to intervene. It happens all by itself. You can’t say God really glorified himself by doing nothing and letting Satan win.

I can’t swear that God won’t do something really strange and bring Trump back, but a miracle like that would be about like the second coming or the flood, and the world hasn’t seen a miracle like that in millennia. It’s a lot to ask, and at least most of the people predicting it have already proven unreliable.

It should be a fantastic thing for the church if a bunch of fake prophets were exposed, but I don’t think it will help, because people will still think they’re the real thing.

I don’t prophesy about America’s future, but I make guesses based in reality. I have some common sense, I know how human nature works (all too sadly), I have observed history, and I am familiar with obvious Biblical patterns. I’ll put all that up against pink hair and bad track records any day.

I guess I’ll give a Christian Mingle update. I think I MAY have communicated with one real person. I’m not sure. I make her mad, she doesn’t have a sense of humor, and she has nothing interesting to say, so it doesn’t help. She could be a real person who just isn’t exciting, and whose reasons for being single involve her personality, but she is probably a scammer who is angry at me for smoking her out and who happens to speak good English. Also, the woman in her photos is beautiful, and that’s usually a clue that you’re talking to a man in China.

I received a few “smiles” from three or four women who are probably real because they are very unattractive. There is just no way, no way, no way, no way. I’m sure women who come across my profile frequently have the same feeling. I’m not going to say something stupid and childish like, “their loss.” It’s not their loss. They’re sticking to their standards. Good for them. Starting up with a man you don’t want is a loss. Being single is nowhere near as bad as being with the wrong person.

Here’s a horrible question: who is generally more motivated? People who want to marry, or people who want to divorce?

I’ve received maybe 30 new “smiles” from accounts that are clearly fake.

For the heck of it, I responded to one today. She sent a photo of a young black woman in clingy booty shorts, followed by a shot of the same young woman in a satin bikini that covered very little, and it showed her enormous breast implants. She’s supposed to be 50, by the way. I guess she’s trying on outfits for church.

I don’t see myself renewing my membership. It’s unpleasant, seeing how badly the system works. I am fatigued by the constant and frequent assaults from people trying to do me harm. They don’t get anywhere, but it’s still tiresome. Christian Mingle should screen members, but they don’t, probably because they prefer to receive the money and let legitimate members suffer. It would be very easy to demand identification and insist that people put up photos before they contact anyone.

I changed my locality to Tennessee for a while, and it seemed like I got a little improvement, but not much.

I kind of enjoy asking scammers questions. One was supposedly from Texas, so I asked if she preferred Aggies or Longhorns. It took her quite a while to finish Googling and announce her loyalty to “the texas longhorns.” That’s not what people say in Texas. They say “‘Horns.”

To sum up, Trump isn’t coming back, I think the people who prophesied conservative nirvana are wrong, and Christian Mingle appears to be really bad, except for scammers.

I just got a scammer to admit he or she is in Nigeria. What a blast from the past.

Oops. I’m wrong. It’s Ghana.

I have a Train to Catch

I have had a lot of interesting thoughts about America over the last day, and I think I should share them. I think a good deal of it is divine revelation. Things came to me suddenly.

First thing: America belongs to the Antichrist. Satan won the election, fair and square. You may say the Democrats cheated. Doesn’t matter. The electoral count is a big deal on earth, but in heaven, the votes we cast in our hearts count. Biden had the popular vote, legitimately, just as Hillary did. We wanted him, and now we have him. America’s time as a Christian nation is over, permanently, and there is nowhere left to run. This was the place where persecuted Christians fled. There is no nation left to fill that role.

What else? Here’s something: Trump is never coming back. In fact, he will disappear, except for being mentioned in news stories as the Democrats try to imprison him and so on.

Trump has been strangled, and we are next. Remember how the New Testament forbids us to eat things that are strangled? We’re not allowed to eat things with the blood still in them, even though many Christians eat things like blood pudding anyway. God does not like strangulation. When the tech giants took Trump’s voice away, they strangled him. They sacrificed him to the Antichrist.

At least Jesus could speak during the crucifixion.

Trump is no longer capable of communicating with the public, so he’s finished. He can’t tweet. He can’t put up a Youtube video. He can’t use Facebook. The networks will not put him on the air. He’s done. Period.

You can’t have a political comeback unless you can speak.

Why is no one talking about this? They seem to think it’s just like it was in 2015. No. In 2015, Trump could talk and type.

If you’re hoping for Trump to return, here’s your slap in the face: it will never happen. Not unless he is somehow reinstalled as the president of part of America during the upcoming civil war.

Trump isn’t coming back. America isn’t coming back. Our rights will disappear rapidly. If you didn’t listen to the sirens, and you’re in a big city or suburb, you’re going to suffer. You thought you knew everything. Well, you didn’t.

It has started with government overreaching and riots, and it will end in rape, home invasion, arson, and a wave of murders. You may see your wife and daughters raped. For that matter, you may see your sons raped. It’s something the Antichrist’s people like doing to white males.

Here’s something else: the riots are back. Like Israel, America decided to appease terrorists. We saw the burning cities, and many of us voted for Biden because we thought it would pacify them. On inauguration day, the rioters started up again. Antifa is rioting in Seattle and Portland, and they’re against Biden now.

People thought the rioters would settle if we threw them a bone. This is exactly how Jews think, politically. Go along with your enemies. Make a few concessions. It hasn’t worked in Israel, and it didn’t work here. Appeasement only works when your enemy wants peace. Muslims don’t want peace. They want to expel all Jews from Israel, and they want to see an end to the Jewish race. Antifa and BLM never said they would stand down if Joe Biden were elected. They want everything. They want revolution.

I believe the red horseman of the Apocalypse is playing his entrance music. He represents murder. The Bible says he will go out and cause people to kill each other. If spirits are driving the violence, only a spirit can stop it. We are not submitting to the Holy Spirit, however, so the violence should continue and ramp up.

Trump isn’t the only one who will be strangled. Twitter has already announced a censorship initiative, and they will be going after other accounts. AOC says the government should establish a “truth commission,” and instead of being censured and impeached, she is prospering in her career. It shows that Americans are open to the idea. If it were 1970, the nation would have reacted in horror, but we’ve changed. You’re going to be strangled sooner or later, so get ready for it.

The strangulation campaign is interesting, because it nullifies truth.

Jesus is the truth. He said so. By that, he meant he comes in through the front door, not through a window. He approaches you and tells you exactly what he is and what to expect. Satan doesn’t do that. He lies to you. He’s like a drug dealer who gives you your first dose of crack for nothing.

In order for Jesus to enter your life, you have to hear his truth. That will become impossible on the Internet and in the media. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. You can’t get the way or the life until you hear the truth.

By shutting down free speech, the Democrats will set up a stronghold intended to make the spread of the gospel impossible. This is why God is giving up on churches. The real gospel will have to be spread elsewhere.

I think the most nauseating thing about all this is that the people behind it claim to stand for the truth. AOC used the term “truth commission” in her effort to stifle the truth and let lies thrive.

The other day, I texted a friend, and during the conversation, I said, “The truth is getting lost.” I think that came from God. It’s so true. People who can’t hear the Holy Spirit–including many Spirit-baptized Christians–are starting to spew crazy rumors that have no foundation. Irrationality, which is a symptom of spirit involvement, is spreading like a grass fire. There is no one to turn to for truthful information. The press is hopeless. The CDC and WHO can’t figure out what the truth about coronavirus is, and if they did, they would tell us something different, intended to foster authoritarianism. No one will tell us the truth about climate change, even though drawing scientific conclusions about it is easy. Preachers teach garbage that prevents people from knowing God.

How can the world continue without an opening for the truth?

We’ve entered a time in which the only people who know the truth are Christians who pray in tongues a lot. They know riots and guns won’t fix America. They know elections won’t help. They know America is Satan’s country now, and they are letting God set them apart from society so they’ll be ready for the end.

I feel like nothing I do matters now. I shouldn’t start big new projects. I shouldn’t think at all about plans for the future, because there is no future in the traditional sense. I joined Christian Mingle, but I think all hope for marriage is probably lost. I feel as if everyone’s works are pretty much done, and we are just waiting for the judge.

Look at Revelation 22, which seems to agree:

Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.
Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.

And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.

He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

You take the water of life by praying in tongues.

I’m glad God put me on high ground three years ago. I’m glad I will never see the entitled hordes come over my fence and through my front door. I do wish I had done more for God.

I am just fooling around now, enjoying my hobbies and not being listened to. I don’t have a single person with whom I can have a real conversation about God. Talking to most people about God is like trying to talk into a leaf blower. They don’t pray, they lack your experience, but they know more than you do.

I believe I should throw out my MAGA hat and Trump shirt. They no longer serve any purpose.

I’ve decided to rent The Omega Man. I’ve never seen it all the way through. Guess I’ll have to cover my eyes during certain scenes. I feel a strong kinship with the lead character today.

L-O-L-A Lolaaaaaa…

Two very bad things have happened to me today. First, we inaugurated Joe Biden. My standing comment on this is that we went to the rodeo and bet on the clown. Second, and I know I am making myself look like an idiot when I say this, I gave in to pressure and talked to some women on Christianmingle.com.

Go ahead. Let me have it.

I have learned some fascinating things about this site.

The primary thing that surprised me is that virtually everyone who contacts you will be either incredibly, incurably undesirable, in ways that will make you wish you had never heard of sex, or they will be male scammers from foreign countries.

I have probably messaged back and forth with 35 people today. I say “people” because I very much doubt any of them were female. As far as I know, not a single one is real.

When you first start using the site, you will be forced to use a name that starts with “Mingler,” like “Mingler_3j42.” It takes a day or two for your chosen name to show up. During this time, you may start receiving barrages of “smiles” from people whose names also start with “Mingler.” It’s foreign scammers whose accounts are new because they just opened them in order to steal from you.

These accounts usually won’t have photos, because it takes a while for the site to approve them. The scammers will get around this by helpfully sending pictures like the one below.

I removed the top of her head because this is presumably an innocent woman whose picture was stolen, and she probably doesn’t want her face on my site. I keep receiving photos from women who are way too pretty to be so interested in me.

To help the ladies, I will let you know that this person is a solid 8 out of 10. This picture is excellent man bait.

Here’s something else. They will badger you to go to Google Hangouts. I thought Google Hangouts had been abandoned and removed from the Internet, but, sadly, that is not the case. Scammers want you to go there and chat with them, and I suppose they have a good scammy reason. Maybe it makes it easier to obstruct law enforcement.

When you pressure me to go to Google Hangouts, you are pressuring the wrong guy. I hate Google Hangouts, along with all other forms of social media except Youtube (which I hate a little). One of the reasons I hacked my phone was to be able to delete Google Hangouts.

They also beg for your phone number over and over, and, if they can’t get that, your email address.

They use bad grammar, which makes China look likely.

Right now, I am talking to one. I got a smile from a random Mingler, and here is how things are going:

Mingler_a93e: She sent you a smile!

Me: Hi. I will never, ever go to Google Hangouts, and I don’t give people my phone number.

Mingler_a93e: [suggestive, unchristian photo] Come on text me through hangouts florencenorvo@gmail.com

Me: What’s your name? Achmed? Dmitri? Feng Shui? I know scammers generally come from backward foreign countries where the US dumps nuclear waste

He’s stuck now. Doesn’t know what to say.

Wow! It says “Removed User.” I guess I rocked his world. His boss in the Internet cafe in Pakistan is probably beating him with his shoe.

I ran into one really good one. He started asking me about prayer in tongues and Bible verses. I thought he was for real. I gave him my email address. He actually mentioned some verses, himself. That’s pretty sophisticated. Most non-Christians can’t pull that off. Then he started calling me his teacher and canceled his account, saying he no longer needed to talk to other men.

It makes me think of Zaphod Beeblebrox.

In case you don’t know, in the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Zaphod Beeblebrox was the President of the Galaxy. He had an enormous ego. Odd, for a politician. He was an utter moron, but he thought he was wonderful. At one point in the book, he was put in a machine that showed people exactly how insignificant they were, and people assumed he would die from the humiliation.

Am I in that machine today?

I have heard from dozens of “women” today, and I’m pretty sure every single one whose picture wasn’t like running my toe into furniture was actually a man in a foreign country.

It would be great of scores of beautiful women in their thirties were really after me, but this is Florida, not Fantasy Island.

I just hooked another one. I gave him the Google Hangouts pitch, and he still asked me to go there. I said, “I think you’re a dude in Pakistan or India.” Now he seems mad. I guess our trip to Disney World is off.

This is amazing. Does anyone ever meet a real human being this way?

My friend Mike badgered me into this. He met a Spirit-filled lady who looks great and teaches firearms classes. She was so promising, they actually visited each other.

Maybe there was a Nigerian guy hiding inside her.

Two more “Removed User” notices. Christian Mingle should pay me.

One lady messaged and said she was messaging on behalf of her friend Tina. All I had to do to see Tina’s pictures was to enter my username and password on another website. Yeah, that sounds smart.

I can’t help thinking of my experiences with churches. I showed up, full of sincerity, and I ended up giving my service to crooks, women with goddess complexes, and a child rapist. They all pretended to be the real thing, but I meant nothing to them, and so did God.

One of the harsh realities of life is that when you go out into the world looking to do good, you are always likely to run into a walking bag of pus who has spent his or her life training to punish you for doing it.

I wish I had something encouraging to say. I tried churches, and I was chased by women my friends still joke about. I quit going to church, and I met nobody. I checked out Christian Mingle, and I met men who type in pidgin English and seriously expect me to send them money.

Being single is not optimal, but it’s not painful, either, and it’s orders of magnitude better than spending my life with the wrong woman. If God has decided not to breach the barriers between me and marriage, I’ll be just fine.

I plan to talk to some more scammers now, simply because it’s entertaining. Might as well get something for my money.

MORE

I have to post more of this stuff.

She sent you a smile!

Me: Hi. I don’t use Google Hangouts, and I don’t give people my phone number.

Mingler_6f61: how are you doing today handsome man?

Me: I’m here to meet women, not male scammers in foreign countries.

Mingler_6f61: that sound good Handsome
what are you here for and where are you from as well

Me: I am here for great deals on counterfeit Louis Vuitton handbags, and I am from the planet Uranus.
Are you even reading this?

Mingler_6f61: yes handome

She sent you a smile!

Me: Hi. I don’t use Google Hangouts, and I don’t give people my phone number.

Mingler_3d07: Well it nice to meet you and i will like you to tell me about yourself..?

Me: I have never been to China, Russia, or Africa, and I don’t want to send my savings account there.

Mingler_3d07: Very Good..So tell me for how long have you been on here

Me: I am a giraffe, and I have been here ever since I escaped from the zoo.

I’m up to two more “Removed Users.”

New Upper Receiver on the Way

I think I’ll continue swimming against the current. It’s a beautiful day, and I feel great. The reality you live in depends on your relationship with God, not your lockdowns, creepy vaccines, or ridiculous, ineffective masks.

Last night I did something I had been trying to talk myself out of. I bought an AR-15 upper in .204 Ruger. It has an M-Lok handguard and a 1:10 twist, which is somewhat faster than the much-criticized industry standard of 1:12. It has a fluted varmint barrel 22″ long. People say you need about 21″ to make the .204 Ruger achieve top speed, and without top speed, .204 Ruger is somewhat pointless. It’s all about speed.

I use the present tense, saying “has,” as though the upper already existed. The company that makes it says it’s shipping uppers 1-4 weeks after they’re ordered. I’m hoping I’ll be more toward the one than the 4, because .204 Ruger is unpopular. Demand should be low.

For all the blue-state whiners who may come to check my blog, take heart. The .204 Ruger cartridge is not very useful for killing human beings.

I have never been a big fan of the AR-15, but my feelings keep evolving as I learn. I still think it’s a bad choice for self-defense because of the reliability issues. But it’s turning out to be a great choice for nearly everything else.

I thought the AR-15 platform was inherently inaccurate, because everyone said so. They said they got poor results with it. Of course, most people couldn’t hit their own rear ends with a pistol. Probably less that 1% of the shooting population is worth listening to when it comes to accuracy. I have learned that the platform is actually very accurate, so that concern is gone. Gas guns like the AR-15 are harder to shoot well than bolt guns, and very few people know how to shoot them, because they don’t get training. You have to be a better shot to run an AR-15. You have to know more. Once you do, you have a semiautomatic platform that holds 30 rounds and may shoot into under 0.5 MOA, depending on your ammo and the quality of your gun.

Not only will an AR-15 shoot well; learning to make it shoot will make you a better shot, all-around. The things you do to make an AR shoot well should also be done when shooting other types of guns. This makes the AR a better choice for beginners than a bolt gun, because it teaches you more. A bolt gun is like MIG, and an AR-15 is like TIG.

There go my accuracy concerns.

What about other advantages? Here’s a big one. The AR-15 is made to hold lots of stuff. If you hunt, there is no telling what you may want to put on your gun. A light. A bulky night vision scope and illuminator. A heavy thermal scope. The stocks bolt-action rifles come with are not made for all that junk, but AR-15 furniture is.

The additional firepower is clearly a plus. Some states limit magazine capacity for certain applications, but sometimes you can have all you want. I have a Thompson Center rifle which is limited to three rounds in the box. Three! They refuse to make bigger magazines, and no other company makes them. What if I shoot a pig and wound it, and I need to finish it off? If you screw up badly enough, you could need up to 10 rounds to do the humane thing. That’s not going to happen if I’m operating a bolt and changing magazines. Another thought: some animals charge hunters. You can see hogs do it in videos. Do I really want to face an angry pig with one round gone and three remaining?

It seems to me that an AR-15 or AR-10 is a great choice for someone like me. I’m not doing benchrest shooting, so I don’t need a super expensive target rifle. I need something practical and accurate for hunting and for the type of target shooting I do. I need the option of bigger magazines. I don’t need a perfect curly maple stock. I need something that works. It all adds up to AR-15.

For self-defense, I still say it’s Eastern bloc all the way. The odds that an AR-15 will stop up when I need it are slim, but the odds that a Vz-58 or AK-47 will stop up are vanishingly small. And 7.62x39mm is just plain better for self-defense.

This is how things look to me right now. Maybe the picture will continue to change.

I was resisting getting a new upper, but I am getting old, and what good will an expensive coffin do me? BLM and Antifa nuts will just dig me up and steal the brass handles and sell them to buy crack.

On the political and religious front, there is momentous news. Parler is dead. Who didn’t see this coming? When did I start telling people conservatives and Christians would be thrown off the Internet? Maybe 2009? It has been obvious for a long, long time.

People who have no idea how things work have been high-fiving and chest-puffing about Parler and Gab, saying they’re where real conservatives will go to be safe from censorship. Well, one down and one to go.

The amazing thing is that Parler set up its tent in Jeff Bezos’ front yard and expected to thrive! They depended on Amazon Web Services for hosting! “Hello, Mr. Hitler? Is it okay if we build a synagogue on top of the Führerbunker?”

Gab is still online, and in true self-serving conservative bigwig fashion, Gab’s CEO is taking advantage of Parler’s demise by poaching members. Come on over! You’re welcome! Of COURSE you’re welcome. What business doesn’t want another business’s customers?

It reminds me of Pajamas Media. Fight the exclusionary leftist Internet cabal! Join our exclusionary right-wing Internet cabal!

That went really well, didn’t it?

I may actually join, just to watch things unfold. It can’t make things any worse for me. Sodomy is an abomination! If you reject Jesus Christ, you go hell! Caitlyn Jenner is a man! I’ve said more than enough to get me on the persecution list.

Parler may get new hosting. Doesn’t matter. It has been shaken once, and to intelligent people, that shows it can be shaken again, with permanent results. Gab may be doing better right now, but the Internet is still part of the grid. It’s enemy territory, and it will be taken away one way or the other.

Conservative-friendly platforms will only be permitted to exist if they become so full of carnal people they advance Satan’s causes.

The left is violent and stupid, so we should be violent and stupid! The left relies on social media, so we should rely on social media! It won’t work. Statists are insiders, and we’re outsiders. The rules are different for us.

It’s wonderful, how Satan uses carnal conservatives and Christians to justify tyranny. A few benighted people executed a fleeting, minor riot in DC. A few true imbeciles put up Nazi and white supremacist content on Parler and Gab. Now we are all tarred as terrorists. It’s like gun control. A schizophrenic idiot who plays first-person-shooter games 14 hours a day shoots up a school, and the statists say it proves your pastor shouldn’t have an AR-15 to protect his 14 adopted Somali kids.

When did we decide unpleasant views justified depriving people of their platforms? That’s new.

Remember the Skokie case? A bunch of American Nazis decided to march in Skokie, Illinois, a neighborhood full of Jews. They complied with the law, just like other parade organizers. When the authorities tried to stop them, the courts stepped in. It’s legal for Nazis to parade in Jewish neighborhoods unless they break the law. In the United States, it’s legal to be a Nazi, a Communist, a jihadist, a Satanist, or a Klan member. It’s legal to write books and publish newspapers promoting your craziness. It’s legal to have TV shows and radio shows. Why, then, is it illegal for a Nazi to have a Facebook account?

Answer: because Satan needs a way to silence Christians. Holy-Spirit-led Christians are overwhelmingly conservative. Nazis and white supremacists also tend to be hold some conservative views, although Nazis are statists and closely aligned with the left in many ways. If Internet bigwigs can find enough Nazis and racists on conservative social media, and if they can mainstream censorship (which our government is not allowed to do), then they can silence lots of Christians. This will make the world seem more statist than it is, and people are unthinking herd animals. If they think everyone else is a statist, they will become statists, too.

Nazis and other nuts should be allowed on social media, and the correct response is to counteract their propaganda with truth. As people with common sense have always said, banning speech you don’t like leads to the banning of important, beneficial expression. The people who do the banning will always be corrupt, and they will always be unfair. It’s better to let people rant. Jesus was unpopular. The prophets were unpopular. If they were on social media today, they would be banned.

They’re already banned in many stores. Try getting a store clerk to say, “Merry Christmas.”

Some people say the winners write history. That’s not really true. Leftists write history, even when they lose. It’s how they shape the future.

You’re going to be censored online. Get used to the idea. No one is going to put up alternative services which will last and keep us in touch with each other. You need to hear from the Holy Spirit. He is our Internet.

Armed uprisings and new social media sites are carnal solutions, and you can’t win a supernatural war with carnality.

We’re going to lose. God is going to remove us from the world. You need to separate yourself from the provocation, which is just Satan, trying to get you to step out from under God’s protection. To sort of paraphrase the message of the old movie War Games, the only way to lose the war Satan is trying to start is not to play.

The Bible says we are supposed to be the head and not the tail. Here’s something God told me: wherever the head goes, the tail goes. Tails follow heads. That’s how animals are built. When Satan was cast out of heaven, he swept a third of the angels down with him with his tail. That means they followed him. Jesus was supposed to be their head, but they didn’t listen.

If you let Satan’s effort to tempt you to get carnal with the statists, you will be chasing his tail, and you risk ending up where he’s going. He’s a loser. Let him lose without the pleasure of your company.

Statists will torment us as much as our supernatural situations permit. Big deal. Once your body is gone, you will never see these people again. Remember what Moses said about Egypt’s army? “You will see them again no more forever.” Won’t that be nice? The statist terrorists can’t go where we’re going. They won’t be able to have parades in heaven. No more rainbow banners, naked men in body paint, or giant pavement propaganda graffitti.

It’s terrible that people will be destroyed, but it’s not as bad as going with them and continuing to be subjected to their presence.

They’ll get rid of me sooner or later, even though I pay my own hosting fees. Get ready for it. I don’t care. Not a big deal. I may as well thank everyone who has read this blog over the years, although don’t get too full of yourselves, because it’s not like you gave me a kidney. Maybe I have a year left. Maybe a few months. I can’t tell, so I thank you now.

The Antichrist Pupates

The strange dreams keep coming.

Last night, I dreamed I was on a farm my grandfather owned. He had a bunch of big properties, and this was one of my favorites. It was a 300-acre spread in a big bottom by a river. He raised cattle, and he also had soybeans, hay, tobacco, and corn.

In the dream, I thought I had inherited the entire place. Strangely, it was also in Ocala, where I live now. I found myself riding a Honda CT70. This is a small trail bike. They made them 50 years ago. My friend Mike had one, and he wishes he still did. His family had a farm near Ocala, and when I visited them, he let me ride the Honda. I thought it was fantastic. I didn’t have a driver’s license, so anything with an engine seemed wonderful.

In the dream, I was riding the Honda down a dirt road by a creek. I saw objects by the road. I saw a leather guitar strap. I figured it belonged to my tenant farmer. I hung it on a barbed-wire fence so he would see it, but the front of the strap had a lot of mildew on it.

I found myself carrying a strange lever-action BB gun. Between me and the creek, there were trees, and I saw squirrels in the trees. I tried to shoot one, but I didn’t have a clear shot.

When I got to the end of the road, I saw a house a stranger had built. I was not happy about it. I saw a utility cart shoot by from the left, toward another pasture. I followed so I could run the intruder off.

Where the pasture should have been, there was a settlement. It even had a medical clinic. I drove right into an exam room. There was a pretty blond doctor. I started telling everyone I owned the farm. Then I remembered that the family had sold it after my grandfather’s death.

In the next dream, I was here on my farm. I drove my utility cart up to my garage, and I saw a BMW Mini Cooper parked inside, along with another strange vehicle resembling a baby buggy. Again, I was not happy. I drove up the driveway, and I saw strangers getting out of cars. They were having some kind of celebration, like a picnic. I saw that I had outbuildings that were set up for it. One even had a sort of restaurant, under a roof but not enclosed. There were booths. A nice young black family was having lunch. The kids reminded me of a family I am very close to.

I started telling people I owned the place and that they had to go. I felt bad about ruining their event, because they seemed like nice people. It occurred to me that if I let them stay I might make some friends.

I approached a skinny red-haired guy with a beard. He looked like a caricature from a movie made by leftists. He looked like an angry, ignorant guy who spent all his time polishing AR-15’s and hoping for civil war. He was wearing a kerchief to cover his mouth and nose.

I told him everyone had to go, very politely, and he got mad. He said, “This guy hates NIGGERS!” I told him I didn’t use that word and I didn’t want anyone using it on my property. He pulled a sheath knife. I put my hand on my pistol, and I said, “I have that beat.” He yelled, “He hates niggers and Cubans!”

His wife, who looked like a Cuban, was next to him, and she calmed him down.

I walked around telling people they had to go. Whatever doubts I had about throwing them out were gone, after the episode with the bearded man.

What does it mean?

I live in an unusual atmosphere of safety. A lot of nominal Christians are not in the same position. They cling to dangerous cities and suburbs. When things go bad, they will flock to people like me and expect shelter. I won’t be able to do anything for them, although I might be able to help a few friends. Is the dream about Christians who won’t face reality and move while there is time?

A lot of Christians look nice on the outside, but the Holy Spirit hasn’t been allowed to do much work in them, so inside, they’re more like the Antichrist’s children. They are refusing to listen to people who tell them to move while they can. They trust their god, America, to look after them. They’ll try to burden the rest of us as the tribulation starts, but we will have to run nearly all of them off. They’re not really family.

Noah had to listen to his friends claw on the hull of the ark until the water silenced them.

Is this what the dream is about? I don’t know.

Today a friend texted me and sent a link to a Gab post. Gab is one of those sad conservative social media sites. I didn’t bother to look at it. The link suggested it was about Gab’s CEO. Apparently, conservatives are flocking to Gab, and he was welcoming them and defending Gab against accusations from the press.

I responded, saying I had little regard for conservative social media. I told my friend ham radio was probably the future. He liked that suggestion and asked where he could get information. My response: “Here’s irony: Youtube.”

What is Gab? It’s a high spot in a flood. The waters are rising, and conservatives and Christians (nominal and actual) are moving to high spots. Some high spots aren’t that great, and I think Gab and Full30 and Parler are examples.

If the left controls the Internet, can’t they take websites and apps away from us instantly? When persecution comes, is it smart to build your safe house in your enemy’s front yard?

I don’t think I’ve joined Gab. I recall being disturbed by credible tales of actual racism and hate there. I’m all for free speech, and I’m all for my right to choose not to hear it.

I have a Full30 account, but if Youtube is a Cadillac, Full30 is a rusty Vespa that needs a ring job. None of the conservative social media midgets are worth my time.

One of the Youtube Christians who go around healing people put up another video today, insisting Trump wasn’t going anywhere, even if Biden managed to get inaugurated. He’s excited about executing traitors. Yesterday, I saw another one making the same confident prediction. Would that it were true. I think they’re mistaken, but I’m not claiming God told me anything. Even recently, I’ve felt faith that Trump would stay in office, and God can do anything, but I have had faith for things that didn’t happen.

I have a crazy troll on my Youtube channel. She subscribed. I keep deleting everything she says. She does not like me. Sadly, on the Internet, enemies are more loyal than friends. She won’t go away.

She put up an angry comment saying Trump was just another globalist. A person who believes something that insane can believe anything. She shows that conservatives who don’t hear the Holy Spirit are as nutty as anyone.

Statists are deceived by demons. They really think white supremacism, which barely exists, is a problem. They think Republicans, not the well-known mobs of leftist terrorists, are the big danger to America. They think Trump, who fights to weaken the government, is a dictator. The nuts on the right who don’t listen to the Holy Spirit are just like them. They’re all Antichrist puppets. They’re all dangerous.

The guy who wants to see traitors executed put up a text a friend sent him. I’ll tell you what. I’ll take the time to transcribe it.

Don’t ask who I am and this will be my last post.

Trump is completely de-platformed… but the phones are still very much working. Also Trump’s peace missions and isolationism are about to pay off.

As I speak Trump has spoken to

Bolsonaro – Brazil
Modi – India
AMLO – Mexico
Suga – Japan
Putin – Russia
Jae-Ryong – S. Korea
(unknown) – Israel
Salman – Saudi Arabia
Fattah el-Sisi – Egypt
Duda – Poland

Why?

If there is one thing governments fear, it’s an unruly mob. The second thing they fear…a foreign global corporation that can control their population, unconditionally silence them and threaten their power.

Within the next 48 hours these governments will announce the process of passing legislation or using emergency powers to nationalize or take control of Twitter/Facebook/Google/Cloudflare(Microsoft)/Amazon(AWS).

The news will be such a system shock that by Monday, there will be a massive selloff of Big Tech and that will start pulling down the stock market with it.

You’ve been warned.

The execution guy says he’s not claiming it’s correct. Just putting it out there.

Okay, who trusts text messages that start with, “Don’t ask who I am”?

I don’t know much about the nations on the list, but here in America, no one will nationalize anything. First of all, it’s illegal. Second, the government loves social media. The real government is leftist at its core, and the social giants do its propagandizing. The Deep State loves the social giants. The new leftist-controlled Congress loves them. Biden adores them. You may hear some insincere squawking from time to time, from politicians who want to seem like they care about freedom, but in the USA, the social giants will continue to be protected, barring martial law.

China will never go after the social giants, because the social giants are already China’s slaves. They do everything China tells them to do. If China takes over, it will gain nothing, and it will get the headache and expense of running social media sites.

For a long time, I’ve believed that social media and other means of tech networking would replace the world’s governments. I still believe it. It’s inevitable. I think governments will support the giants because the giants seem to help them, free of charge. You know what they say, though. When you think you’re getting something for nothing, you’re the merchandise. The social giants are buying up power, irreversibly.

Social sites and apps are the nervous system and voice of the Beast, and the Beast will decide who wins. It’s really that simple. Conventional governments will go the way of brick-and-mortar stores and the print media, and we will see a new stage of human development. It’s like the Beast is going from larva to pupa.

I don’t want to be part of a colonial organism with an IT nervous system, no matter how much safety and security it promises us. The thought of being forced into unprotected mental fornication with billions of gross, unsavable boneheads who are wrong about everything makes me want to vomit. I wouldn’t want their fetid bodily fluids on me, and I really don’t want their mental, emotional, and spiritual secretions and excretions in my ears and mouth all day.

Statists want to turn us into a secular family. I refuse that offer. I don’t want to lie in a big, sweaty bed with stupid people who play video games all day and think Kim Kardashian and Megan Thee Stallion are heroes. Three years ago, God gave me my dream of being isolated from those people. Now the Beast wants me to share their toothbrushes? NO! I will never go back. We shouldn’t have to be raped daily by the government in order for it to do its proper job.

I’m not sure nationalized social media would be an improvement. Right now, in America, the First Amendment doesn’t apply to them, so they can limit our speech and ban the president himself. No one can sue. There is no redress. If the government owns them, they’ll have to obey the First Amendment. That sounds good, but the government itself is destroying the First Amendment, along with the Fourth, Second, and the biggest joke of all, the Tenth. As of today, Facebook could choose to let us speak freely. If a leftist government takes over, Facebook won’t have that option.

I think a government takeover would be a waste of time. The government is part of the Beast, and it always has been.

A government takeover might slow things down briefly, but it wouldn’t help in the long run. And the text message isn’t true. It’s just a rumor some crank put out. The big announcement is supposed to come by tomorrow. Don’t hold your breath.

There are no secular solutions. There is no secular salvation. The name “Yeshua” means “salvation” for a reason. The red baseball caps won’t protect you, and neither will Gab. If you insist on living near Antichrist hives, your guns won’t protect you, either. They’ll just prolong the siege.

It seems that the closer you get to God, the holier the people you leave behind are. If you become a nominal Christian, outright reprobates will drop you. If you pursue the Holy Spirit to some extent, most nominal Christians will drop you. If you really sink into the Spirit, people who don’t speak in tongues enough and who think Creflo Dollar is a genius will drop you. Presumably, if you get closer still to God, the people who reject are only slightly less close will drop you.

Is this what’s happening to me, or am I simply refusing to believe true prophets?

If the Beast’s servants are becoming more powerful and morphing into something new, shouldn’t God’s children be morphing, too? There is always symmetry in the supernatural.

I don’t think God wants a military coup. How would that glorify him? It would glorify the military. I think Trump is washed up, forever. I think rebellious America spent years making itself a big, juicy vomit sandwich, and we’re about to have to eat it. I think we’ll endure unbelievable indignities under President Biden, and President Harris will be even worse. I will be surprised if we don’t lose the Supreme Court within two years.

We should eventually see things like wealth taxes and attempted gun confiscations, even in red states. Maybe the government will steal land and redistribute it to minorities.

I believe people who really listen to God will get out of cities and be raptured before the tide of filth reaches their high spots, and Christians who don’t listen will be tormented as they were in Rome. I don’t believe those of us who got out will be able to help the others to any significant degree. They made their choice, we made ours, and I believe God will force most people to live by their choices.

Maybe the government will impose travel restrictions, taking the matter out of our hands and sparing us the pain of deciding whom we can take in. Travel restrictions have already been tried here, and under Biden, they are nearly certain to be imposed nationwide.

I’m not prophesying. Just making my best guesses based on the way the world works.

It would be wonderful if I turned out to be wrong. It would be nice to see God keep Trump in office.

Well, apart from the ensuing deluge of riots and murders.

Satan is Huffing and Puffing

I had a remarkable dream this morning.

I was in bed, in my favorite bedroom in my grandfather’s house. For some reason, my sister and one aunt were there.

My grandparents were still dead. They didn’t appear in the dream.

There were items on the floor of the room, in the corner. Things that were part of the estate.

One item was an Inuit soapstone sculpture. My dad took me to Alaska when I was 12, and he brought back a soapstone sculpture by an artist named Luke. It wasn’t very good. Made for tourists. It was an Inuit carrying a dead seal. In my dream, my grandfather had bought one, too, although he didn’t really go to Alaska with us. His carving was also an Inuit carrying a seal, but it was much nicer than the one my dad bought.

When I left Miami in 2017, I threw the real sculpture out. I had read that these sculptures had religious significance to the Inuits, and I wasn’t about to keep an idol in my house. I set it beside the road in the trash heap. American Indians worship demons and practice witchcraft. I told my friend Mike about it, and he loves to joke about how much he loved the sculpture and wishes I had given it to him.

In the dream, I put my grandfather’s sculpture on the bed, and I took a picture and sent it to Mike. The seal had turned into a wolf.

The house shook. It felt as though it had jumped 6 inches in the air and come back down. I heard wind howling outside, pressing against a window that faced east. In real life, there was no such window. The bedroom window faces north.

I wasn’t worried. I thought about the age of the house. It had been there since 1965, and nothing had hurt it.

Then the window broke. A piece of lumber had flown into it, breaking the grids and glass in the upper half of the window. Wind blew into the room, but I didn’t really feel it. I saw objects sailing toward the window, from yards away. They moved horizontally, as though something carried them. My longstanding feeling that the house was a safe shelter was instantly destroyed.

I moved to the left side of the window. There were about 18 inches of wall and then a corner. I stood in the corner. Nothing inside the room was damaged, and I wasn’t afraid. I watched with interest.

When I woke up, I wondered if the dream meant anything.

Here is what it seems to mean. My sister represents the world. Not the planet; the people. Not all of the people; just the overwhelming majority who don’t know God at all. This makes sense, because years ago, God gave me this phrase: “The whole world is like my sister.” She thinks she’s smarter than everyone else, and she can’t listen, so she doesn’t have God’s guidance or protection.

My aunt represented weak Christians.

The house represented America. It was a place I thought of as home, and I thought it was a safe haven. Lots of arrogant Americans think America is safe and invincible. That’s nuts.

The storm was the approaching tribulation. The airborne junk was Satan’s missiles. When the house jumped, it was Satan, being allowed to shake the world and start the torment.

This is how I see it, after praying.

I was in the house, but the house wasn’t my protection. When the place I thought of as my protection turned out to be open to attack, I was fine. I don’t know what happened to my aunt and my sister.

I believe that when my sister appears in dreams, she represents the people and spirits who belong to Satan. Worldly people and evil spirits that drive them; worldly people are the children of Satan and the body of the Antichrist. I think when she appears in my dreams, it means the forces of the fallen world are trying to call me back.

It’s unappealing, to say the least. My sister is the most repugnant person I know. Just to be in a room with her is to suffer. The only way she brings people happiness is to leave. People dread her arrival and celebrate her departure. When she fell in a ditch, broke her leg in two places, and had to move out of my aunt’s house and stop tormenting her, my aunt, my cousin, and I thought it was an answer to prayer. There is no possibility that I will ever interact with her again, unless I am forced.

I refer to her as my former sister or my biological sister.

One of the great things about my walk with God is that he separated me from people who make me miserable. The thought of going back is ridiculous.

I know some people who are reading this have abusive spouses or spirit-crushing bosses. Imagine life without them. What could any of them offer you to make you go back? It’s unthinkable. Death would be better.

A Youtube preacher who heals people has posted a video about a recent dream. He was with a group of people, and he was wearing a white shirt. He noticed blood on the back of his shirt, but no one else saw it. He went up a set of stairs and went to a room where there was “a rack of priestly garments.” He changed clothes. He wasn’t hurt.

He thinks the dream is about Mike Pence, refusing to take his own stand on things and putting the burden on the president. I don’t think that’s right.

In the Bible, Jesus is represent by a stairway. In Jacob’s dream, Jesus was a stairway to heaven, and angels were walking up and down on him. People call the stairway a ladder, but that comes from the King James Bible, not the Hebrew. In Hebrew, the word translated “ladder” can mean “stairway,” just as “ladder” means “stairway” to a sailor.

I believe the dream is about the rapture.

Christians are being betrayed on earth, and betrayal is something your friends and relatives do to you. If your enemies hurt you, it’s not betrayal. Betrayal is treachery. Christians are betrayed by people who claim they, too, are Christians, every day. They vote for our persecutors. They belittle people who have the gifts of the Holy Spirit. They preach lies in order to take our money. They’re hypocrites. They were never really on our side. They stab us in the back.

Prophecy says we will be taken to heaven in the rapture. There, we will have to have “wedding garments,” because Jesus will have a 7-year wedding. He made it clear that people who don’t have wedding garments won’t be allowed in. The Bible says we are kings and priests, so priestly garments and wedding garments should be the same things.

Prophecy also says raptured people will return to rule with Jesus after the tribulation.

It all matches up with the dream. Jesus, the stairway, is the one who raptures people. When we’re raptured, we will put on new garments. Our wounds, like his, will be healed.

The rapture will be a sifting. The betrayers will fall through the sieve and stay here to experience hell on earth.

Maybe his dream was not prophetic, but it sure looks like it was.

I can’t swear my dream came from God, or that it predicts the future, but dreams have been reliable for me in the past.

The things I predicted regarding the Internet continue to come true. They’re pushing us off the web. Twitter just banned President Trump permanently, and Facebook has locked his account. Google and Apple have banned Parler, the conservative Twitter clone, from their stores. You have to download and install it elsewhere. They claim they will not distribute communication apps that don’t have censorship. Supposedly, conservatives involved in storming the Capitol expressed support on Parler. Parler says it has a mechanism for getting rid of dangerous content, but Google and Apple reject it.

I signed up for Parler, but I don’t use it because it’s useless. We can’t replace the social giants with social midgets. It will never work. We’re like Jews trying to mitigate the effects of the Nuremberg laws. Satan is the god of this world, and he controls the Internet. We’re not going to win on that battlefield.

We don’t need to communicate with each other using gadgets if we communicate with the Holy Spirit, but only a small percentage of us do that. The rest of us are worldly and feeble. They’re worthless as warriors. They’re like arthritic old ladies trying to fight tanks with pugil sticks.

I wonder if they’ll get me after violence sweeps across America. I own this domain, and I pay the hosting fees, but what does that mean, in a pre-tribulation America? Will my insignificant blog draw their attention? If it does, there won’t be anything I can do when they delete it.

My hosting company is in Utah. Maybe it’s run by Mormons. If so, maybe there will be some resistance. Mormons tend to be conservative.

If I understand God correctly, I keep hearing him say this mess won’t touch me. I hope that’s true. if things go as expected, a lot of people are going to be hurt, and I prefer not to be involved. There will presumably be mob theft, arson, murder, rape, and torture. We should expect lots of dead bodies, along with things like amputations and crippling.

Civil wars are interesting, because the hatred is more intense than it is in wars between nations. It takes much longer to forgive. The Japanese were the most vile, cruel, sick, racist enemies we ever faced, but 5 years after Hiroshima, the US and Japan were buddies. I don’t think America’s future conflict will work that way.

I don’t want to be part of the violence, whether as victim or perpetrator, and I don’t look forward to poverty or starvation, either. I would much rather go upstairs. I don’t want to stay here, and I definitely don’t want to go to the basement. I hate the prospect of being ruled by sadistic, benighted, self-righteous statists here on earth, and the beings that rule in hell are just like them, only many times worse.

It’s disturbing to see people who claim to know the Holy Spirit talk about shooting leftists and having executions. They’re on the wrong track, and their remarks will make it easier for the Antichrist’s people to justify coming after us. Saying you listen to the Holy Spirit will only make you look more dangerous. I really don’t believe the Holy Spirit is advocating violence. Think about Peter and the Garden of Gethsemane.

I agree with the angry future combatants (both camps) about one thing: I want it over with. I feel like the universe is on pause.

Plus Gas Gun Progress

I am now the proud owner of a Coyote Reaper XXL infrared illuminator.

I got myself an ATN night vision scope a long time ago, and I never got around to doing much with it. The idea was to shoot coons, coyotes, and pigs at night. There are no pigs here. I didn’t know that. I don’t have any excuse for not shooting coons and coyotes.

The scope amplifies light, including infrared, and it comes with a very small IR flashlight that works okay up to maybe 30 yards. Perhaps I’m being generous. Everyone says you need a bigger illuminator to get anywhere. You can spend a gigantic amount of money on one, but I don’t see myself investing heavily in things to make a low-end $600 scope work. If the Coyote Reaper won’t do it, then it won’t get done. If I get serious, I’ll have to spend several thousand dollars on a thermal scope, and the illuminator will gather dust.

I didn’t understand how big the illuminator was when I ordered it. It’s maybe 9″ long, and I would guess it weighs as much as a Coke in an old pint bottle.

For some reason, ATN put the illuminator rail on the left side of the scope, so when you attach a big illuminator, you get a huge weight pulling down on the left side of the gun. I found a solution. You can get a picatinny adaptor for your forward sling stud. You remove your stud, install the adaptor, and attach the illuminator to it. The adaptor has a little sling stud of its own, so theoretically, you could still use your sling. With your giant flashlight in the way.

When the adaptor gets here, I will try the illuminator out.

Maybe the smart thing is to put everything on my AR-15, which is made to hold lots of hardware.

My varmint gun, which has yet to kill a varmint, is a Thompson Center bolt action in .204 Ruger. It’s very nice, but Thompson Center Fudded it up with a 3-round magazine. This means I get 4 shots per varmint encounter, tops. Thompson Center does not make a bigger magazine, and neither does anyone else. They’re also pretty jerky about selling parts to consumers, so I’m all done with them. They won’t sell me upgraded trigger parts for this gun.

It seems to me that a smart person will want a big magazine when shooting pigs or other pests. You want to be sure you kill them, and pigs have been known to charge, so it can’t hurt to have reserve ammunition to help them change their minds.

Back when I got the gun, I didn’t understand the sporting potential of the AR-15. I thought people were winking and giggling when they called it a hunting rifle. Of course, I was very wrong. If I were shopping today, I would forget all about bolt action varminting. I would buy an AR-15 in .204 Ruger.

I can remedy my mistake if parts become available. I can buy a .204 Ruger upper for my AR-15 and convert it instantly. If I place an order today, my upper receiver should arrive some time in 2035.

If I have a second upper, I can leave the night stuff on it. Then I won’t have to worry about losing the zero on my regular scope when I remove it to install the ATN.

Nothing is simple.

I’m still looking into thermal monoculars for spotting and tracking. I have already learned that thermal would be great for finding wounded squirrels.

A popular Youtuber who calls himself Tactical Rifleman recommends the FLIR Breach PTQ136. This is a very small monocular which shoots pictures and video. They say it works very well. Problem: people say FLIR has officially abandoned the civilian market. They say FLIR’s customer service was disgraceful to begin with, and they expect FLIR to stop making parts for things they have sold to civilians. So you could spend a lot on a Breach and then have it turn into a paperweight.

It looks like competitive devices made by friendlier, more competent manufacturers cost about 40% more, at least. The Tactical Rifleman hasn’t recommended any, and that makes sense, because he probably has a business relationship with FLIR.

A German outfit called Andres makes a device called the Tilos 3Z, and it’s apparently better than the Breach, and Andres actually cares about customer goodwill, but you pay for the upgrade.

I’m interested in hunting, but a lot of the people who know a lot about night vision and thermal are interested in other uses, if you get my drift, so you have to filter the advice you get. Hunting equipment can be used for home security, but it’s not really what you would choose if you were serious. Some equipment swings both ways. Some is better for one use than the other.

There are some real fanatics out there, happily spending tens of thousands of dollars on this stuff. These are the folks who will utterly demoralize leftist mobs if we have a civil war. They’ll shoot them at night, from long distances, while the mobsters are feeling safe and doing bong hits, chuckling about the social justice they plan to deliver the next day. They’ll be looking forward to posting selfies of the conservatives they’ve beaten up (and worse), in homes they’ve invaded, and suddenly rifle rounds will appear out of nowhere and change their outlook.

I’ve learned that hog hunters practice shooting on a timed signal. That’s bad news for mob thugs. If one person fires multiple rounds at you, and the first round misses, you can look for cover. If 5 people shoot at once, it’s different.

I don’t know too much about the war-preparation scene, but it looks like there will be very serious and unexpected problems for leftist aggressors. There are people out there who own large numbers of automatic weapons, including .50-caliber machine guns. There are people who own Barrett .50-caliber bolt action rifles. A rifle like that is mainly intended to kill things like cars and trucks. They’re not very accurate, but how accurate do you have to be to hit a Prius?

A business near me has a .50-caliber machine gun on display. Ready to load into a pickup and take wherever it’s needed.

Rapture me now, before it happens. I don’t want leftists shooting at me, and I don’t want conservatives abusing me because I won’t shoot at leftists.

Trump says he will not go to the inauguration. I’m trying to decide whether that’s a good move. Showing up would take more character than staying home, it would make him look less childish, and it would be a conciliatory gesture. On the other hand, conciliatory gestures don’t work well on leftists. George Bush tried to appease them over and over. Every time he offered his hand, he pulled back a stump. His opposition had zero class, and since then, they have gotten worse. A lack of grace is one of the left’s defining characteristics.

It probably doesn’t matter if Trump tries to make peace. In order for that to work, you have to be dealing with people who want peace.

We are in for some nasty times if Biden actually takes office. Imagine the loss of liberty, the taxation, and the environmentalist oppression. Gun rights may be damaged extremely severely, in a time when leftist mob violence is the norm. Leftists will do their absolute best to disarm us, and with two branches of government under their control, they may be able to pass some very sick laws. Biden will try to weave us into the Antichrist’s “family.” Leftists want us to be a colonial organism like the Borg. Privacy and autonomy are going to shrivel, fast. Freedom of worship will continue to be destroyed. The government will dramatically expand its role as a sponsor of persecution.

I’ve been right, right, right about this, for years. That bothers me, because the things I foresee now will be extremely unpleasant. Conservatives who don’t know God will live in humiliation and defeat, every day, unless they resist by force of arms. Then we’ll have war, and can we characterize that as success? I don’t think so.

Even when you think something big is going to happen, it’s still shocking when you see it come to pass!

Guess I should go out and shoot a few rounds. Writing blog posts is not improving my marksmanship.

MORE

Went out and shot 40 rounds of 55-grain Australian Outback ammo from the AR-15. I used my new Adaptive Tactical buttstock, which has recoil padding. I shelled out the princely sum of $25 for it, at Joe Bob’s Outfitters.

I am quite happy. My average group size was 1.5″, including all flyers except for one I made after I turned a turret the wrong way. My worst groups were 2.02″ and 2.13″.

The wind was gusty, it blew hard enough to be unpleasant, and it changed directions by at least 180 degrees while I was out there. With a very ordinary AR-15 and non-match ammo, I think I did fine. I was fiddling with the buttstock to get the length of pull right, I caught technique problems, and things still went well. The credit must belong to the gun, the people who made the ammo, and the guy who made the training videos I watched, because I made errors.

I still need to learn to use a DOPE book. I have no idea what to put in it. “It was hot today. I didn’t shoot too well. The Dairy Queen by the range doesn’t sell banana split Blizzards.”

I learned more than you would think from a quick session. I found out I was pulling the trigger with the tip of my finger, so I stopped doing that. I think that causes horizontal stringing because you have to work so hard to make the gun go off. I learned that my zero was two clicks too low. I got my new buttstock adjusted. I got better at recoil management, per the instructions I picked up from training videos.

This is not a bad gun at all. The best AR on earth might shoot what? Three eighths of an inch, in perfect weather, with ideal ammunition, clamped in a vise? I’m using a $790 gun intended for self-defense, and I don’t have match ammo or handloads. The bullet manufacturer says this bullet’s wind drift at 100 yards is about 1″ for 10 mph, I was definitely getting crosswinds higher than that, and I still shot and average group of 1.5″ at 104 yards, where 1 MOA is 1.09″. The weather people are quoting 13 mph right now.

If I can do this well on a bad day while making mistakes and learning new methods, I would hope to do a little better on a good day with more practice. Maybe this gun will average below 1 MOA without a new barrel or fancy ammo. If so, is there any point in thinking about upgrading it? I don’t know that I care much about the difference between 1″ and 3/4″. I think it would cost me hundreds of dollars to get it.

Curing my Dryer’s Asthma

I have been writing about my wonderful new eco-hostile washer, and the news has gotten even better. I got my old dryer to work correctly.

My old washer was a $1300 LG. The dryer matched it. I don’t know what it cost. I’m sure it was not cheap. It has all sorts of unnecessary programs on it.

I hated the dryer because, just like the washer, it lied. The timer would say my “normal” load (whatever that is) would be dry in 41 minutes, and it always came out damp. I had to run things through twice or use the heavy duty setting.

At some point it occurred to me that there might be a venting issue. Maybe lint had gotten past the filter and clogged things up.

The other day after I installed my washer, I realized it was time to quit behaving disgracefully and attack the dryer. I researched a little, and I learned two things.

1. Dryer ducts clog with lint even when the filters work.
2. Dryer duct clogging is one of the main reasons for house fires.

This was my first dryer duct. I should add that. I’m used to holes that lead directly to the outdoors. You can’t get much of a clog in a passage 9″ long. I had no idea dryer ducts needed maintenance.

My current duct is a 4″ PVC pipe maybe 15 feet long, with several bends in it. Not a pushover, as dryer ducts go. I read up on special tools made for the job.

They make plastic rods that attach to each other end-to-end like Bangalore torpedo segments. You put a brush on the far end, you connect the near end to a drill, and you shove the rods and brush through your duct. They will bend and go through 90° bends just fine.

When you’re done, you have a huge collection of loose lint you have to get out of your duct.

I read about this stuff, and I thought, “I have a leaf blower. Why would I pay for a tool I don’t need?”

I moved my dryer out and disconnected it from the tube leading to the duct. I shoved my electric leaf blower’s nozzle into the tube. I ran it for a while. Then I went outside and discovered I had made it snow in my yard. Lavender snow. A fair amount of lint had come out, but I knew it wasn’t enough to get the job done.

I gave up and bought a duct-cleaning tool. I ran it through the system from both ends and used the leaf blower again. I used another special drill-mounted brush to clean the PVC fitting on the external end of the duct.

When I ran the dryer, miraculously, it dried clothes in 41 minutes.

In a couple of hours, I can go through three big loads of laundry. They come out mold-free and dry. If I could remember the last time things worked this way, I would probably have to reach back to 2005.

I don’t know why I’m such a bad home maintenance engineer. A lot of things have jumped up and surprised me. People aren’t born knowing about dryer ducts.

Another project awaits. Water heaters have sacrificial zinc anodes to retard corrosion. These are long rods (sometimes jointed) that you lower into a water heater through a hole in the top. The hope is that the zinc will dissolve and your steel will not. You’re supposed to change these rods regularly. I never knew they existed until maybe 2019. I don’t know if my anodes are worth changing. Maybe my tanks are made of pure rust now. I plan to find out.

I’ve also learned that it’s important to connect hoses to water tanks and drain the sediment. I haven’t done that yet. I’ve never known another person who mentioned doing it.

I heartily suggest you check your dryer ducts. I don’t know how an electric dryer could cause a fire, but you might as well be safe and have a dryer that works. The tool is between 30 and 40 bucks at Lowe’s.

When my water heaters are fixed, maybe it will be time to replace my awful oven. It blows its own thermal fuse every time I run the clean cycle. The clean cycle is not a luxury. It’s a must. You can’t clean a baking stone any other way. Fortunately, I have a Harbor Freight hydraulic cart, so I can remove and install ovens alone.

I’m very happy with my laundry machines. They look very different, but sometimes interracial marriages work out very well. I almost hope the old washer is somewhere being punished.

Clean Clothes, Clean Heart

Yesterday when I got my new eco-hostile, non-moldy, fast-working washing machine, I nearly lost my mind. I was so happy, I texted friends about it. I sent pictures. I sent two of them a video. I blogged and vlogged. I did several loads of laundry just for the pleasure of seeing how much better the new machine was. I went into the laundry room and inhaled so I could enjoy the way the machine smelled.

Is that normal? Doesn’t seem like it. The pleasure I get from that machine amazes me because it’s so extreme.

What have I learned about strange events? God has shown me that when things don’t seem to make sense, there is a supernatural explanation.

Something must be going on.

In my blog post, I said I had been “raptured” out of the body of people who are stuck with smelly, moldy laundry (i.e. the majority of Americans). I thought it was a funny parallel, but at the same time, I really felt raptured. I felt I had been spared a great evil.

People are saying things like this to me:

This was another thing Trump was pushing for. Appliances that actually worked including shower heads.

yeah , President Trump talked about that at one of his rallies last year. He talked about showers and how because of regulations -people could only get a stream of water, he said he was putting an end to all these regulations

Why do I post these remarks? Because they show there is a bigger pattern. It’s not just about washing machines. It’s about state-worshipers–the Beast’s children–trying to extend the Beast’s power into every area of our lives. The Beast knows we’re going to retreat. We move to the country. We move away from minorities because they’re so caught up in the Beast’s propaganda. We find jobs where we’re less likely to be forced to take “sensitivity” training and proactively endorse homosexuality. We keep low profiles. The Beast knows what we’re doing, so he is coming after us in our homes.

Earth-worship is a very old part of Satan’s plan. It existed in ancient Greece. It existed in ancient Israel. The Nazis were big environmentalists. Now modern American statists are using it to control Christians.

The moldy smell of your clothes and the degrading necessity of wasting 90 minutes of your time waiting for a mechanical slave to do a 30-minute job are little messages. “You’re of the earth, not heaven.” “You’re part of the herd.” “We control you.” “Wear the yoke; there is nothing you can do about it.”

Satan loves to teach people that they’re helpless so they won’t fight back. This is why he loves welfare. People who get too much help from Uncle Sam start to realize their lives won’t improve if they get jobs, so they develop a condition known as “learned helplessness.” They quit trying. This is what Satan wants you to feel. “Stop resisting the state. It’s your family now, everyone else is going along, and besides, you’re too small and isolated to win.” Abusive environmentalism is just one of Satan’s attitude-adjustment tools.

They’re talking about issuing “passports” to people who take the covid vaccine, giving them rights the rest of us won’t have. Barring a real plague, you should have the right to decide whether or not you want a shot. Covid is not a real plague. Severe effects will always be limited to a very small, easily identified and separated segment of the population. The vaccine is not needed. It’s just a tool to teach you obedience.

Terry Gilliam Correctly Identifies the Left’s God

Donald Trump is no apostle, but God gave him to us to help us, and he does God’s will whether he knows it or not. He is a wall between the Beast and the Beast’s desires. He provides better support for Israel than previous presidents. He helps the church. He helps the unborn. He fights the religion of statism.

Trump’s attitude toward the earth-exalters reflects God’s attitude. You may be willing to accept showers that don’t get you clean and washers that put mold in your clothes, but God doesn’t want to see his children set below the earth in the universal hierarchy. It’s an inversion of authority. The earth was created for us. We’re supposed to shape it and exploit it to help ourselves. When things that benefit the earth in trivial ways become more important than cleanliness, it shows that we have lost our status as Earth’s royalty.

One of the plagues of the Revelation is attacks by wild animals. Look it up and see. In Genesis, God put the fear of man into animals. He did it because we’re better than they are. We are more important, as Jesus said in his remark about sparrows. The plague of animal attacks will reflect humanity’s degradation and loss of status. Moldy clothes reflect the same problems.

Mold is a wild creature. So is the covid virus. They, and other new assailants like the insect that spreads citrus greening and the mosquitoes that spread Zika, may be small, but they’re wild creatures. The Revelation says bigger ones–“beasts”–will eventually follow suit.

We’ve already seen bigger creatures increase in power over us.

Our predecessors had the good sense to kill bears, wolves, and lions. Americans love lions. Africans hate them because they kill people and livestock. We used to have the same attitude toward big predators, before we became fruity, cringing, self-pampered snowflakes with waxed moustaches and tattoos. Right now, wild animal attacks are increasing in our country because predator hunts are limited and people with zero common sense are reintroducing predators in populated areas.

Florida is full of bears, and the wildlife commission says science shows hunts are appropriate, but the commission refuses to sanction hunts because of pressure from blue-county statists. Bears have attacked people, pets, and livestock here, they have killed Floridians (contrary to what certain websites say), and they have driven many people to run for shelter, so it’s not like they’re harmless.

I’ll tell you what. If a bear or any other dangerous animal menaces me on my property, I’ll kill it without a second’s hesitation and leave it for the turkey buzzards. Or I’ll put it in bags and take it to the dump. And no one will know. The state works for Satan, so why contact law enforcement and trust the devil with my future? The investigation which is least likely to result in a fine or arrest is the one that never happens.

If non-Christian scientists are to be believed, coyotes have had millions of years to make it to the Eastern US. Why didn’t they show up until late in the last century? Scientists tell us it happened because the Mississippi froze, allowing coyotes to run across. That’s completely asinine. Obviously, the Mississippi has frozen many times in the past, and coyotes are more than smart enough to cross bridges. They can also swim. Why are they here now, killing calves, poultry, and pets? The Revelation seems to have the answer.

Florida is full of pythons now, and they’re big enough to kill women and kids. They eat pets. They eat deer. Livestock are surely being eaten. They even eat alligators. People have had pet pythons for decades, and they have gotten loose many times. Why didn’t they gain a foothold until recently? Why didn’t their population explode until a short time ago?

The python problem will get worse. They can live in fairly cold places, so they’re moving north. Their projected range includes North Carolina and most of California. If you think it’s just a Florida problem, wait and see how wrong you are. Once they hit Georgia, they’ll be free to move west.

People who are used to being on top are now headed for the bottom. Christianity put their ancestors on top, the ancestors had godless, entitled, ungrateful progeny, and now the corrupt descendants of the godly think they have the same status their forebears had. They feel entitled, for no good reason. It doesn’t work. They run from animals and types of people who used to be subordinate. Modern Americans are like Samson after his head was shorn. They think they’re still strong, but they’re defeated.

Samson got up, glowered at the Philistines, and probably told them they were in for it. Then one or two men grabbed him and held his arms fast, easily, while somebody shoved a knife in his eyes.

I love my washing machine because it reminds me of a principle of Christianity. We are supposed to be washed with a great deal of water. The Holy Spirit is supposed to flow in us like a wide, deep river. We should wash ourselves internally by praying in tongues abundantly every day. The reason moldy washing machines stink is that they use so little water. They have special parts that hold onto old water that never gets rinsed out. It stagnates. The things God gives us rot and cause problems if we hold onto them and stop looking for new things. Remember what happened to manna when people tried to save it for an extra day.

My clothes are mold-free because my machine doesn’t use water sparingly. It uses gallons and gallons. If I want to be clean inside, I have to let God’s water pour through me every day, in great abundance. When it comes to laundry, I have to go back to the ways of the past, because the modern way of making a washing machine brings rot and disease. Mold provokes allergies, and allergies are diseases. Black mold, which is the kind washing machines make, can be lethal in some cases. If I want to do well as a Christian, I have to go back to the old practice of prayer in tongues.

It’s odd that environmentally conscious people have started a crusade against mold in homes, but they’re silent about mold in our clothing.

Mold and other types of rot can represent carnality. We’re supposed to be filled with doctrine and other types of information by the Holy Spirit, continuously, every day. Denomination bigwigs don’t receive daily impartations. They don’t know the Holy Spirit. They rely on long-dead individuals who may or may not have heard from the Holy Spirit, and they add their carnal guesswork, which increases the rot. Denominations may have started with God’s help, but they continue with man’s error.

God isn’t an environmentalist. His word says the earth will wax old like a piece of clothing. He’s not fretting over the thought that you might throw a deposit bottle in the trash. He doesn’t care. The earth will be physically devastated during the tribulation no matter how many ridiculous carbon credits you have. Make reasonable use of the earth and focus on pleasing God, not seals and whales which were put here for our benefit.

My New Washer isn’t Green, and Neither are my Clothes

This is easily the greatest day of my life. I just installed a non-green top-loading commercial washer.

I took a picture of her. I have to share.

I can’t believe she got here so fast. My horrible old LG washer pooped out two days ago, and I’m already back in business.

I already wrote about my hatred of modern front-loading mold-growing washers. They don’t get anything clean. They take forever to run. You have to do half loads because otherwise the clothes don’t get wet. They’re perfect examples of leftist hypocrisy. Tell people you want to save water and energy, then make washers that have to run twice to do the same work. And of course they break down sooner, so the energy and material costs of manufacturing, selling, and installation are at least doubled.

I threw two queen-sized blankets in it to try it out. I have a habit of using my bed as a gunsmithing bench, so they had grease on them. I’m timing the machine to see how long it takes. It’s so beautiful It must have used 10 gorgeous gallons of warm water to fill itself.

When it started spinning, I ran into the laundry room and rested my head on the lid. Ecstasy.

This machine is wonderful. It only has 6 settings. It has knobs. No LED display. No video. No phone app.

I’ve already done my first load and started my second! I timed it. It did a whole load in under 30 minutes! In your FACE, greenies!

I love that green start button. Someone at Maytag must have done that as a personal chin-flick to Al Gore.

I can’t remember what it was like to have clothing that didn’t smell like mold. I guess it’s been over 10 years. I’ve been a prisoner, leaving washer doors open so they were always in the way. I had to plan my laundry in advance because I knew I would have to be awake 90 minutes after the machine started, to move things to the dryer. This is incredible.

Guess how much energy the new moldy washers save? Guess! Actually, I don’t know the answer, but it can’t be much, because the little sticker on my new machine said the yearly power cost would be $18. If $18 is bad, what’s good? Did running my old machine cost $17.50? It was certainly worth it to smell like a homeless person. I really saved the planet.

Best case scenario, if the old machine used no power at all: $18 in savings. Come on. Who seriously thinks that’s a bargain? If I offered you to pay you $18 to stink for the next 12 months, would you take it?

I’m going to be buried next to this washing machine. That’s how much I love it. I’m going to have the funeral home director fill it with plastic grocery bags and plastic straws. Thank God I live in a place where plastic is still king. Back in Coral Gables, grown people who should know better are lugging their groceries around in ludicrous paper bags that split.

I came up with a great idea for people who hate paper bags. You’ll thank me. You know how groceries give you a choice between paper bags and bringing your own? Here’s what you do: go on Ebay and buy a thousand plastic grocery bags for $13.99 (actual price). Then bring them to the store and make the bag people use them! Hey, you brought your own! It’s legal!

When you’re done putting your grocery bags away, throw them out! They cost a penny each! Who cares?

This is so great. This is better than the time I bought old-fashioned eco-hostile nozzles for my plastic gas cans. It feels better than throwing all my old curly fluorescent bulbs into the trash, to be carted off to pollute the landfill with mercury. I thought that felt good, but it pales next to the joy of knowing my clothes won’t smell.

I think I’ll change my tractor’s oil and pour the old oil out in the yard. I’m on a roll.

Factory veal! Where can I get factory veal?! I…I want to paint my house with lead paint! I must have it!

I SUPPORT WHALING! GET ME A WHALE BURGER!

I’m going to cook my whale burgers on a fire made from burning coronavirus face diapers!

I can’t tell you how great it is to have a real washing machine. I was so tired of bending over to get stuff out of the old one. I was tired of the lying LED display that told me my clothes would be done in 3 minutes, only to make me wait 15. I hated knowing that leftist goofballs who were completely wrong were able to make me a slave to a stupidly designed machine I could not live without.

It’s the laundry rapture! I’ve been called out of the mildew-smelling masses!

This is actually what the Messianic Age after the rapture and tribulation will be like. Imagine a world free of idiocy.

My second load is done! Twenty-seven minutes! What else can I wash?

It may take me three days to wind down. Buy one of these machines. You will love it.

Keep Your Genes Clean

I have fantastic news. My washing machine is going to have to be replaced.

As we move toward the Antichrist’s colonial-organism, totalitarian model of civilization, we are facing increasing governmental intrusions on our private affairs.

I know. “Tell me something I don’t know.”

Appliances and other products are filling up with “features” that make us miserable. Leftists have a sick fantasy of a future in which everybody is green, smitten with homosexuality, vegan, and virtuously poor, and they are reaching into our lives in unexpected ways in order to force their perverted, pathological vision on sane people.

Case in point: washing machines. They don’t work any more. Washing machines were targeted because they use a lot of water and power. Leftists think the world is going to run out of water and energy, and they aren’t as interested in cleanliness as the rest of us, so they went after our washing machines and ruined them.

If you have a washing machine made in the last few years, you probably smell like Roquefort cheese when you sweat or rain hits your clothes. Modern washing machines use very little water, and for some reason, the technology that reduces water consumption causes mold to grow in them. You can’t get rid of it. You can leave the machine door open all the time so it gets as dry as possible. You can buy ridiculous fans that sit in washing machines and speed up drying. You can run bleach through your machine. You can clean the rubber gaskets with bleach. It doesn’t work. You may get some improvement, but wait for the next rainy, humid day, and you will still smell like dirty gym socks.

Statists aren’t interested in practicality. They’re interested in the messages products send. It’s okay if you smell. If it bothers you, it proves you’re bourgeois. The French don’t bathe much, and they’re better than us. They’re chic.

Statists love shoving half-baked technology down our throats to solve problems we don’t really have. They can never wait for the good technology. You have to have curly fluorescent bulbs that don’t work, NOW (rhymes with “Mao”). You have to have hybrid cars that only work because of subsidies NOW. You have to smell like a slice of green, furry bread NOW.

If modern washing machines are so bad, why is it good news that my machine is dying? Won’t I just have to replace it with another cheese-smelling mold farm? No! There are still a couple of machines that work, and I just bought one.

Many people think Speed Queen machines are the answer. Speed Queen makes commercial equipment, and they also make consumer products. Until 2017, they still made very sturdy washers that didn’t smell, used plenty of water, and completed cycles in less than an hour, the way washers used to. Unfortunately, they stopped making the good machines, and they replaced them with bad ones. The last good ones have “432” in the model numbers. If you buy a 2020 Speed Queen, you’re buying failure and heartache with a plastic water pump, and it will cost you a thousand dollars anyway.

My plan was to let my LG machine wear out and replace it with a Speed Queen. Then when it started making noises, I researched, and I found that Maytag was the answer. Nearly all Maytags are modern garbage, but they have a couple of models that work.

I learned this from a guy who is obsessed with washers and dryers. He runs a website called Loraine Furniture. He buys washers, takes them home, runs them, and makes Youtube videos. He refurbishes old washers. Many people are starting to realize it’s better to put $500 into an old GE than to spend $600 on a new Samsung that stinks.

The washer guy used to tell people to buy Speed Queen. Then Speed Queen gave up the good fight. Things looked bad, but then he discovered Maytag’s new machines.

If you buy a new Maytag, it will fill all the way up with water, like a real washing machine. It will load from the top, sparing your lower back and making it unnecessary to spend a hundred bucks on a base that lifts the machine and screws up the geometry of your laundry room. It will wash your clothing in something like 40 minutes, not 90. My LG has a time display on it, and it claims it will do a normal load in under 45 minutes. When I use it, I set the oven timer for 90 minutes, because the LG’s display lies like crazy.

Remember the days when you could do three loads of laundry in one afternoon? You can have those days back.

Here’s another problem with modern machines, and it’s a wonderful paradox: you can’t fill them very full, because they won’t get the clothes in the middle of the machine wet. I’ve removed dry clothing from my LG several times. It’s really something. It’s a great example of how statist thinking is self-defeating. They sell you a front-loading machine which is supposed to hold more clothing and save water and electricity. Then you have to run it twice to do one load, killing the water and power savings and wasting your time. They also add special “extra water” features which prove the manufacturers know the whole business is a hoax.

If you get a Maytag, you will be able to fill it up, the way you’re supposed to.

The Maytag he recommends is model number MVWP575GW. Lowe’s has a sister model which is basically the same, except the warranty isn’t as good. Why buy the Lowe’s model? Because it’s at Lowe’s, where you can get it easily and quickly. When your washer fails, you don’t have time to wait for the perfect deal.

Maytag’s machine is a commercial-style washer, and thankfully, it has very few features. Remember how your old washer had about 5 settings, and it worked great? That’s how the Maytag is. You don’t need a fragile video display and special modes called “Power Fluf” and “Techno Steam” to get clean laundry. Do you think professional launderers buy machines with video displays and stupid features? Of course not. But they get clothes cleaner than you do.

Why am I giving you this advice? Because your washer may fail soon, and if you’ve had it for 20 years, you may have no idea what you’re up against. If it’s a good machine, consider investing in expensive repairs. If not, Maytag will solve your problems for about a thousand dollars.

Will the Maytag be available when you need it? No idea. I’m surprised it’s legal and available right now.

Lowe’s says my new machine will be here tomorrow, which probably means next Tuesday, but I believe my LG will keep running until then, so I’m fine. Even if I have to go to a laundromat, it will be worth it.

Incidentally, never buy an LG appliance. If it breaks (and it will) you will not be able to call your familiar, reasonably-priced appliance repairman. LG will force you to hire their people. At least that’s what they did to me when my last (nearly new) LG broke. Maybe they’ve changed their policy. I won’t bother checking, because I have had two LG washers break down, I was forced to use their repair people once, their washers make clothes reek, and I don’t see any reason to have anything to do with LG in the future.

Greenie washers are generally front-loaders, and that’s bad, because front-loaders don’t last. There is a reason why nearly all washers used to be top-loaders. A top-loading tub doesn’t put a lot of stress on a machine’s mechanics. Obviously, a horizontally-mounted tub containing 40 pounds of wet laundry, spinning and stopping, supported by a single underengineered bearing, is eventually going to go funny. My last LG’s tub got out of alignment while it was spinning, and the tub knocked the magnets off the motor, destroying it. My current LG has a bearing screech, but it still runs. You can buy a new bearing for about $25, but installing it is like putting a new timing belt in your car. You don’t want to try, believe me.

I have been dreaming of getting a real washing machine for years. I hope it works out.

What else is on my mind? Covid! People are saying the vaccine is the mark of the Beast. Christians aren’t the only ones who don’t want it. Jews in Israel are resisting, which is odd, since they don’t believe the Revelation. I don’t know what their complaint is.

When covid was young, I thought a vaccine was a great idea. I’m not an anti-vaxxer. They’re generally nutcases and neurotics. Science-illiterate moms who think with their hormones. I’m a huge fan of flu vaccines, and I wanted the covid shot. When I heard people talking about the mark of the Beast, I wondered what was wrong with them.

Now I’m hearing disturbing things about it. I heard a podcast today, and Messianic Rabbi Zev Porat says the Israeli government is considering a bunch of “incentives” to make people take the shot. Among them: you will not be prevented from getting a mortgage, and you will not be prevented from boarding flights.

Doesn’t “incentive” mean a reward, not a punishment?

I can’t find independent confirmation of the threats to restrict borrowing and air travel, but I found a story saying Israel will provide vaccinated people with “green passports” allowing them to go to restaurants and other public gatherings and to fly without being tested for covid.

What, exactly, is “green” about vaccination? I wonder if “green” means the same thing in Israel and the US.

Another question: since vaccines aren’t completely effective, is it intelligent to release vaccinated people to mingle with the rest of us? Some vaccines have effectiveness rates below 50 percent, and many scientists expect the covid vaccine’s immunity to wear off quickly. Does it really make sense to turn the vaccine into a license to go out and breathe on crowds? Are the rewards really about science, or are they about showing us what Mommy State does for good boys and girls?

In any case, the vaccine appears to have the potential to have similarities to the mark of the Beast.

If you don’t have the mark, you will be devastated financially and socially. You won’t be allowed to buy or sell. It’s a Nuremberg sort of thing. People who reject the vaccine probably won’t be completely excluded from commerce, but they may face punishments (“incentives”) that severely limit their participation in important activities, and if so, they will be stigmatized and hated.

It reminds me of something God told me the other day: the rapture isn’t just an event; it’s also a process. Long before God removes you from the earth, he will change you internally and help you reject the world’s sick culture. He will help you give up secular entertainment and worthless pursuits like fornication and recreational drinking.

There are two earthly raptures: God’s, and Satan’s. God is pulling us out of society (and society out of us), while Satan is using force to drive people deeper into society and the arms of the state.

This year has been a wonderful training exercise for the Beast. Like Jesus, he has a body, and he has been using things like BLM, Antifa, and covid to train it. He has taught people to become filthy, entitled, violent, and openly bigoted against white people, men, conservatives, Southerners, and Christians. Jews are also getting some overspray.

The vaccine is not the mark of the Beast. It can’t be. The Bible says the mark will be put on people’s right hands or foreheads (probably for people who don’t have right hands). The vaccine doesn’t fit that description. Also, the Bible says the man who will be called the Beast will be revealed before the mark appears. The Beast has not been revealed.

Does all this mean the vaccine and the mark are not connected? Not necessarily.

Satan has been using 2020 to train people to serve him without reservation or hesitation. He has been removing all the internal obstacles that help people resist him. The vaccine may be a way of preparing people to receive the mark. By the time the mark gets here, we may have been forced to do so many other things, in the name of good, that taking the mark will seem like just another trivial violation we need to get over with. Just get it done. Get in line, stick your hand out, take the mark, get the “I Took the Mark” sticker, and go home and wait for your good boy check.

I am no longer willing to receive the vaccine. Too many people are wary about it, and many are Spirit-filled Christians. They may not have a proper understanding of the science, and they may not understand what’s wrong with the vaccine, but it sure looks like the Holy Spirit is filling people with concern.

Many people think the vaccine permanently changes your DNA. From what I’ve read, this is not correct. I’ve read that it uses RNA to trick your cells into manufacturing covid proteins so your body can create antibodies. I’ve read that the effect is temporary and doesn’t alter your DNA. Maybe that’s true (and maybe scientists are wrong, which happens), but it may be that an RNA vaccine is a tool to prepare us to accept shots that really do alter our DNA.

If common people can’t tell the difference between an RNA vaccine and a DNA vaccine now, many won’t be able to tell the difference later when we are offered another “harmless” vaccine that really does change our DNA. They’ll think it’s another RNA vaccine, or they’ll think it’s a DNA vaccine and that it’s okay to take it because they already had one that didn’t harm them.

Satan likes to move in baby steps. One day, you’re voting for Hitler to build up the German economy, and down the road, you’re cheering while the Einsatzgruppen round up your Jewish neighbors so they can drive them out of town and shoot them next to a ditch.

For all I know, the mark is something that alters DNA.

It’s an interesting question. Most people don’t realize that the battle in the supernatural realm is genocidal. Satan and God and fighting to get rid of each other’s seed. Satan was rightly partially castrated in the flood, and he is a castrater and abortionist. There are two families: God’s, and Satan’s, and God and Satan are working toward futures in which their families have overwhelming dominance and numbers on earth.

What is it that makes you a member of another person’s biological family? DNA. If you’re a Christian, you know that blessings and curses are hereditary. At least part of the time, DNA is involved. Intelligence, health, talent, good character, and looks are inherited. So are stupidity, mental illness, criminal tendencies, addictive tendencies, ugliness, sickle cell anemia, Huntington’s chorea, many cancers, dwarfism, and, some believe, homosexuality.

If you let a scientist change your DNA, isn’t it possible you’re changing your divine inheritance? Maybe your salvation depends in part on your DNA. Maybe changing it can make you a child of Satan and cause your blessings to be replaced with curses. That would certainly explain why every person who takes the mark will be damned.

Maybe spirits see our DNA, and when it contains certain flags, they enter us and do what they do, or they pass by because it says they’re barred. Maybe it’s like the blood on the lintels during the first Passover.

The flood was God’s effort to cleanse the earth of the DNA of fallen angels who impregnated women. What if the mark is Satan’s effort to use science to spread that DNA? What if he’s trying to hack DNA in order to cheat in the genocidal war? He uses the internet to imitate the way the Holy Spirit connects Christians. Why wouldn’t he use gene modification to imitate the spread of salvation?

I won’t take the vaccine. Not until I have reason to be comfortable with it. Covid is a mild disease, I’m not afraid of death, and I think I’ve already had covid. It’s not a big deal to me. The prospect of getting deeper into the body of the Beast is repugnant to me.

Right now, I may have three decades of life left, and they’re the worst decades, unless you count childhood, which is pretty awful. On top of that, I would have to live them in a world that hates me with unprecedented intensity and cruelty. I’m not all that desperate to be here during the diaper and weakness years.

We all get old. We all fall apart. We all die. It’s going to happen to every person who reads this, barring the rapture or early death. How hard are you willing to work to hold on just a little longer? What are you willing to give up? The word says he that loves his life will lose it.

Night Vision Bargain Disappoints

Back when I moved here, I bought myself a cheap night vision scope, thinking I would shoot coons and other critters with it. I believe I wrote about it recently. It’s an ATN X-Sight II. I used credit card points to buy it, on a lark. The cost was $600, which is not a lot for night vision. It came with an infrared flashlight to help it see things.

I was busy with my dad, and I never got around to night hunting. Now I’m trying to get the scope to work.

It’s a badly executed product. No two ways about it. Yes, it works, but it won’t do what the ads make you think it will do.

1. The IR illuminator is not very good, so you need to get a better one for long distances.

2. The scope will eat the 4 AA batteries ATN says to use, so don’t even try. Buy a zippered butt pack and a 20,000-maH USB battery plus a micro USB cable and use these items to power the scope. It will run for hours. ATN sells its own version of this setup for $100, but you will pay more like $30 if you buy things separately.

3. The scope has Bluetooth, but it does not work well enough to be useful for anything.

4. ATN has an app for the scope, and it will help you change the scope’s settings or show another person what you see through the scope, but that’s about it. You can look at your own photos and videos, but you can’t save or share them. As for changing the settings, you can do that using the scope’s buttons.

A few days back, I tried to use the scope in the backyard, just to get ready. Without the illuminator, all I saw was a green mess. There was nearly no contrast between one thing and another. When I turned on the illuminator, everything went bright green, and I saw nothing at all.

Today I updated the scope’s firmware, and suddenly it started working. Here’s a photo.

As you can see, the scope is still a little confused about the date.

Now I can see well enough to shoot varmints. Unfortunately, the scope is zeroed for my .204 Ruger rifle at 100 yards, and I expect to be shooting at maybe 50. I have to take it out and shoot some close-up targets.

How do you shoot varmints if you can’t see them? That’s a great question. The scope has a small field of view, so there is pretty much no possibility that I will be able to spot game. I can put bait out and watch a small area, or I can get a different tool for spotting. I can find animals with the other tool and shoot them with the scope.

I think. I’m just guessing.

Night vision is the cheap way to shoot at night. The best way is thermal. A thermal scope will make any warm object light up, even if it’s behind leaves. If you take a thermal optic out in the woods at night, you will be able to see every animal around you a long way off, as long as the view isn’t completely blocked. You’ll even see birds in the trees, like little Christmas lights.

I’m thinking I should get a thermal monocular. When I spot critters, I can shove put the monocular down and use the scope.

I’m trying to get advice as to whether this is a good idea.

What if it works? Then I’ll use the night vision scope until I get tired of it, and I’ll upgrade to a thermal scope. I believe I’ll still need a monocular to find things, because monoculars have big fields of view.

After that, I should be able to hammer hogs at will, provided I can find them.

It’s annoying, buying a product from a company that doesn’t seem to care about whether it works, but as long as I accept the fact that it doesn’t do everything it’s supposed to, I should be able to have a lot of fun with the X-Sight. I will be very cautious about buying a thermal made by ATN, though. You only get to fool me once.

What Graduation Looks like in 2020

Today I’m getting a taste of everyone else’s 2020. I’m watching an online graduation made necessary by coronavirus. Even the classes took place online.

I was a deacon at a church called New Dawn Ministries. While I was there, I met a young lady named Tina. She was in her teens. I don’t know a great deal about her early life, but I know her family was very dysfunctional, and she was raised by her older sister.

Tina made the most of her situation. She was extremely motivated. She participated in beauty contests in order to get scholarships, and she ended up going to the University of Miami.

I lived near the University, and her family lived in Broward County. They asked me if I could drive her to church every Sunday, and I agreed.

Tina did well in college, and she decided to get a master’s degree in leadership and management, with a concentration in human resources. She has been attending Purdue’s online program, and today she graduates. A few days back, she sent me an invitation by text message.

The ceremony appears in a window in a web browser. There are only 4 or 5 people on camera in the room with the podium. They are all wearing masks except when they speak. It felt very strange, watching figures in robes and masks filing into that dark, lonely room. It was like watching a scene from a post-apocalyptic science fiction movie, except I was watching real life.

They’re announcing the names of the graduates in alphabetical order. They’re showing a photo of each graduate. We’re in the B’s, and Tina’s last name starts with H.

Tina knew my friend Travis, who died in May. They attended UM at the same time, and they were friends. I had some hope they would pair up and marry.

I won’t get to see Travis graduate, but at least Tina made it.

I saw her photo and sent her a congratulatory text. Now I’ve closed the browser. No point in sitting through dozens of photos of strangers.

I was thinking about Travis, and I decided to do some counting. I counted black male and female graduates, with the intention of stopping when I got to 10 of either. When I quit, I had counted 10 women and only three men. Unfortunate.

It’s funny that I watched the graduation today. I had a dream last night, and it seems related.

I used to write for Tropic, the Sunday magazine of the Miami Herald. I met a number of the writers and employees. I remember them. Dave Barry, Gene Weingarten, Joel Achenbach, Michelle Genz, Philip Brooker, Ray Bubel, John Dorschner, and Doris Mansour. The editor I generally worked with was named Tom. I remember going to his house for a party. He had just built his own deck. Dave Barry’s young son was taking karate classes, and while I talked to Dave, his son kept punching me in the leg.

I never fit in with the group. There was a hardness to the writers, except for Dave Barry, who seemed to float above it because of his ability and his fame. They were cold, worldly people who looked out for themselves and had no romance in their hearts. Maybe it was because they were journalists. They published my work, but I felt there was a barrier I could never cross. I could never be an insider.

I seemed to connect better with the art people. Of course, I wasn’t in a position to compete with them, although one of my drawings did get published.

In my dream, I was at an outdoor table, eating lunch with several Christians and Tom. In the dream, the Herald still owned its gigantic waterfront headquarters. The table was maybe two miles north of the building, on the other side of I-95.

In the dream, I had quit writing for Tropic. In real life, I quit in about 1988. I had become a Christian, I felt Tropic and the Herald were not very helpful, and again, I didn’t fit in. As the relationship diminished, Tom sensed it. The last thing I remember him saying to me in real life was, “Don’t disappear.”

It felt like Tom was having lunch so far north of the Herald because he wasn’t comfortable being seen with me. I could tell he wanted me to do some more work for him, and I was willing to do small jobs, just to be helpful. He wasn’t direct, but he hinted at a desire to bring me back in.

Our lunch companions started talking about his choice to have lunch so far from his office. I got up to throw my soda can in the trash, and I said, “It’s because we’re conservatives. Or because we’re Christians.”

I woke up, and I felt distressed. I found myself thinking about the years I had wasted, trying to get the devil’s world to accept me. I tried to make it as a writer, and I had two comic strips that reached the development stage. Many times, I had the feeling I had finally broken the ice. Success was just a few weeks away. But it never came. I was grabbing Satan’s bait over and over. I didn’t realize there were two different families on the planet, and when it came to earthly promotion, I belonged to the wrong one.

If you belong to God, you’re not supposed to get wrapped up in secular accomplishments. The word says God sets him that is godly apart for himself. You shouldn’t feel you have to win prizes or titles. You shouldn’t believe you have to have your name on buildings. You shouldn’t feel like a failure because you’re not a big name in some field or other. Secular accomplishments are God’s garbage. They don’t go with you to heaven. Up there, your service to God is what makes you rich. You get to see your wealth every time you see a person you helped to make it.

Satan likes to dangle bait in front of people. He’ll say, “You can serve God and be an Oscar winner. You can be a billionaire. You can win a Nobel Prize.” He’ll give you the idea that you glorify God with your silly achievements, as if God needs you to help him get publicity. Generally, in order to get what he offers you, you have to whore out. If you don’t, he keeps you from winning, and he gives his tacky prizes and ribbons to people with less ability but more plasticity.

I didn’t feel good, thinking about the wasted years, but then I got a supernatural revelation that made me feel wonderful.

Every Christian who understands the Holy Spirit and grace knows we are not supposed to serve God through hard work or superior natural ability. We are not supposed to earn; we are supposed to receive an inheritance. This is why the volumes of the Bible are called testaments. A testament is a will. Jesus died, and we are supposed to inherit what he earned.

Spirits work and move in every person. The only spirit a Christian should carry is the Holy Spirit, but many of us are inhabited by more than one spirit. People who don’t know God are full of evil spirits, but they don’t know the Holy Spirit.

A Spirit-led Christian is supposed to be like a hand connected to a body. A hand doesn’t feed itself. It doesn’t even have a mouth. It doesn’t get a job to pay for its upkeep. The body feeds it and looks after it. A Christian who thinks he has to take care of himself and guide himself is like a severed hand with delusions.

If I am truly God’s son, I am supposed to be as much a part of him as my hand is part of me. My hand is supported from within the body, through various vessels. As a Christian, I am supposed to be supplied by God at all times, and–this is the important part–I should never feel that he is reluctant to supply ever need, more abundantly than I need. He allowed himself to be tortured to death so he could do that.

I really am God’s son, and he really is eager to do things for me.

I knew these things before last night, but you know how it is with revelation. I hope. You can know things perfectly well and still not have a good grasp of them. A supernatural revelation will make knowledge part of you, undeniable and suddenly obvious.

Things like faith, love, peace, and knowledge are supposed to flow into us without end, just as blood flows into hands. God didn’t put us here so we could be isolated and poor.

Satan isolates people and makes them feel alone and small, and that makes sense, because he’s a predator. Predators like to get their prey alone. God binds us to himself so we have his power and invulnerability of God. If we don’t see these things fully manifested, it’s because we’re blocking God with our misconceptions and disobedience.

There is always symmetry in the supernatural. If Satan cuts me off from help and prevents me from succeeding, God will make me an important member of his family, and he will give me victory.

If I had gotten rich writing or drawing a comic strip, I would be a mess. I wouldn’t have realized I needed to get closer to God. I would be subject to tremendous temptation, and I would probably give in all the time. I would have a social circle of cold, godless people who would keep drawing me away from God. I might have a horrible atheist wife (or ex-wife) who would be like a painful tumor to me. I would have friends and business acquaintances who would take advantage of me and make me feel bad about myself. I would have no prayer life. I would not know how to get God’s help when I or someone else needed it. I would be a rich failure.

The revelation I got last night is life-changing. Things will be much better from now on.

I hope you will keep trying to get close to God. It’s the only plan that works. The others are just traps.

Uncensored Upstarts Ease the Pain of Youtube Tyranny

Today I went against common sense and joined another conservative social site. It’s called Newtube. If you can’t tell from the name, it’s a Youtube competitor that doesn’t do political or scientific censorship.

I have very little faith in niche social media sites. They appear, they crawl, they stumble, and they disappear. They fail to serve their primary purpose, which is to spread information to the general public. If you’re on Gab or Full30 or Parler or Newtube, you’re probably only reaching other conservatives, and they already agree with you, so you’re not accomplishing much.

I have to admit: Newtube doesn’t seem quite as weak as the other sites. It functions, which is something other sites can’t always say, and there are thousands of people using it.

A scientist named Tony Heller has a very popular Youtube channel I enjoy. He also has a website called Realclimatescience.com. He has presented some very powerful information which does great damage to the coronavirus and global warming party lines. Youtube censors him. They are threatening to shut him down, because dissent is violence against humanity in the Antichrist’s homogenized future. Heller started a Newtube channel, and he tells people about it in his Youtube videos.

He has 8169 Newtube subscribers. That’s around 8% of his Youtube subscriber count, but it’s not negligible. Also, Newtube’s site loads without balking, so it looks like Newtube isn’t suffering from technical problems caused by undercapitalization.

He just did another video complaining about coronavirus propaganda. As you may know, South Dakota has a conservative governor. Her name is Kristi Noem. She refused to lock the state down, and South Dakota has done well economically and epidemiologically. The MSM can’t stand it, so they publish facially absurd criticisms, and Heller is going after them.

Here’s an example. Her grandmother died in a nursing home. The Daily Beast, which is appropriately and perhaps prophetically named, put out a silly message saying Kristi Noem’s grandmother had died in a facility “ravaged” by covid. Problem: she didn’t have covid. She was 98, and she died because she was old. It’s horrific that CBS left this information out. Tony Heller corrected the problem.

CBS put out a deceptive story saying South Dakota had one of the two highest hospital bed occupancy rates. Problem: 17% of ICU beds are free, and overall, 40% of hospital beds are free. If you’ve ever been to a hospital and looked around, you know they do a pretty good job of keeping beds filled. A hospital with 60% occupancy or 17% ICU occupancy is not a busy hospital. Heller’s video points these things out.

Only about 8100 people have seen the video. Pretty good for a conservative site. His Youtube videos typically get several times that many views.

It’s nice that someone is making an effort to provide an uncensored alternative. I think it will fail, however. The tech mammoths have too big a head start, and Newtube will probably never attract anyone who isn’t conservative. Spreading information among conservatives is helpful, but it won’t do much to change minds, since the minds that need to be changed have chosen to live under censorship.

I like Newtube. Maybe I’ll enjoy it, although I can forget about watching it on my Roku sets. I don’t think it will have much of an effect on public discourse. The left won and won big, and there doesn’t seem to be any way to catch up.

It’s sobering to see my predictions about thought control coming true. When did I start saying the left would do this to us? Long, long ago. Somehow, I am still shocked to see it happening. It’s cliche, but I’ll say it: this is America. This isn’t supposed to happen here.

I think the rapture is imminent, and if that’s true, so is the tribulation, which follows the rapture immediately. I wonder what censorship will look like during the tribulation.

Right now, there are millions of real Christians on earth, praying and doing what Christians do. Our presence restrains God’s anger and Satan’s evil works. The day after we leave, the restraints will be gone. Things statists wouldn’t dare do today will suddenly become acceptable.

Right now, the penalty for dissent is censorship, or you may lose a job or get doxxed. What will the penalties be like after the rapture? The past tells us what humans are capable of doing in the future. Actually, we don’t have to look at the past. We can look at extreme behavior that takes place right now, in places like Iran and North Korea.

The British had an empire that was at least as bad as the Third Reich. We don’t like to talk about it, but it’s a fact. They used to drag dissenters through London naked, hang them until they were nearly dead, sever their genitals in front of crowds, remove their internal organs, and fry their body parts while they were still alive. The monarchs themselves ordered it. If a Christian nation could do that, then godless 21st-century America will be capable of arresting, imprisoning, torturing, and killing those who reject propaganda.

Consider the Catholic Church. It used to be the biggest terrorist organization on earth. People were terrified of the church. They knew they could be burned alive for saying the wrong things.

Think of revolutionary France. Think about Cuba. Think about the USSR and China. Things can get very, very bad here.

We say, “It can’t happen here,” but we don’t ask why it can’t happen. The presence of praying Christians is the reason. Once we’re gone, it can and will happen here.

I mentored a young man named Travis Quinn, and he died in May from an accidental gunshot wound he received a month earlier. Today I happened to look at some Whatsapp texts he sent in March. He said he had had a dream of a world war. He said everything was exploding. Ships and planes were everywhere. The planes were dropping bombs. He felt surrounded.

Travis had prophetic dreams. I know, because I interpreted some of them. I think Travis foresaw the Antichrist’s coming world.

If you want to enjoy the company of people who haven’t been completely deceived yet, Newtube will probably bring you some satisfaction. If you’re hoping it’s the start of a movement that will change the world, I think you’ll be disappointed. It’s more likely that its membership records will be used to help leftists round conservatives, Jews, and Christians up for “special treatment.”
