There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true. —Soren Kierkegaard. "…truth is true even if nobody believes it, and falsehood is false even if everybody believes it. That is why truth does not yield to opinion, fashion, numbers, office, or sincerity–it is simply true and that is the end of it" – Os Guinness, Time for Truth, pg.39. “He that takes truth for his guide, and duty for his end, may safely trust to God’s providence to lead him aright.” – Blaise Pascal. "There is but one straight course, and that is to seek truth and pursue it steadily" – George Washington letter to Edmund Randolph — 1795. We live in a “post-truth” world. According to the dictionary, “post-truth” means, “relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief.” Simply put, we now live in a culture that seems to value experience and emotion more than truth. Truth will never go away no matter how hard one might wish. Going beyond the MSM idealogical opinion/bias and their low information tabloid reality show news with a distractional superficial focus on entertainment, sensationalism, emotionalism and activist reporting – this blogs goal is to, in some small way, put a plug in the broken dam of truth and save as many as possible from the consequences—temporal and eternal. "The further a society drifts from truth, the more it will hate those who speak it." – George Orwell “There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.” ― Soren Kierkegaard
The new denomination, besides not affirming same-sex marriage or ordination of LGBTQ individuals, will have a strong emphasis on church planting and feature a flexible organizational model meant to foster theological alignment and efficient decision-making, according to leaders with the Alliance of Reformed Churches.
On New Year’s Day, 43 congregations of the Reformed Church in America split from the national denomination, one of the oldest Protestant bodies in the United States, in part over theological differences regarding same-sex marriage and the ordination of LGBTQ clergy.
The departure of the theologically conservative congregations to the new group, the Alliance of Reformed Churches, leaves some who remain in the Reformed Church in America (RCA) concerned for the denomination’s survival. Before the split, the nearly 400-year-old denomination had fewer than 200,000 members and 1,000 churches.
At least 125 churches from various denominations are in conversation with Alliance of Reformed Churches leaders about joining.
“Realistically, it’s a large group of conservative churches that are also providing a lot of income to the denomination. I really think the mass exodus of all these conservative churches is going to throw the RCA into a really difficult financial situation,” said Steven Rodriguez, an RCA church planter in Brockport, New York. “I doubt the RCA will be financially sustainable for much longer.”

The move follows the RCA General Synod’s October decision to adopt measures for “grace-filled separation” with departing churches and to appoint a team to develop a restructuring plan for those that remain.
The new denomination, besides not affirming same-sex marriage or ordination of LGBTQ individuals, will have a strong emphasis on church planting and feature a flexible organizational model meant to foster theological alignment and efficient decision-making, according to leaders with the Alliance of Reformed Churches.
“We have a passion for this remnant of believers to become a part of reformation and revival in the Northern Hemisphere,” said Tim Vink, the new denomination’s director of spiritual leadership and outreach. “Part of our strategic thinking is designing things for the 21st century that allows a multiplication of gospel-saturated churches and a multiplication of disciples.”
Other conservative-leaning churches in the RCA, as well as those in the Presbyterian Church in Canada, Christian Reformed Church in North America and Presbyterian Church in America, are also discerning whether to join the Alliance of Reformed Churches (ARC), according to Vink.
Other groups, such as the Kingdom Network, a group of five churches in Indiana and Illinois, have formed and expect to absorb conservative churches leaving the RCA.
Vink said the new alignment will promote growth. “We want to be a safe landing pad for churches in the near term, but in the long term, want to be a serious launching pad for the church, in mission, to the world,” he said.
The launch of ARC is part of a larger realignment within North American Protestantism. The last two decades have seen conservative Episcopalians, Presbyterians and Lutherans form their own denominations over LGBTQ inclusion and sexuality, and the United Methodists are scheduled to consider a denominational split in the fall.
A theologically and politically diverse denomination that dates to the arrival of Dutch settlers in Manhattan in the 1620s, the RCA has been debating sexuality and LGBTQ inclusion since the 1970s. In 2018, the RCA’s General Synod formed a team charged with discerning whether the RCA should stay together, restructure or separate. The team ultimately suggested a path involving all three avenues, but the meeting to vote on the team’s proposals was delayed for 16 months due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The correlation between mortality rates regarding COVID and comorbidities has been a topic of concern – but also rarely mentioned in mainstream media – since the onset of the pandemic in early 2020.
Yet, during a January 7th appearance on Good Morning America, CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky admitted that the vast majority of deaths attributed to COVID involved people who hosted “at least four comorbidities.”
When the Good Morning America host asked Dr. Walensky “is it time to start rethinking how we’re living with this virus, that it’s potentially here to stay” the CDC director responded by proclaiming most deaths involved those who were “unwell to begin with” and promoted getting the COVID jab and booster shots.
“The overwhelming number of deaths, over 75%, occurred in people who had at least four comorbidities. So really these are people who were unwell to begin with. And yes, really encouraging news in the context of Omicron – this means not only to get your primary series but to get your booster series. And yes, we’re really encouraged by these results.”

The world is finally waking up to what we reported a year and a half ago – there is a difference between someone dying from COVID and someone dying with COVID.
When the corrupt US Government addressed COVID they put in place unique ways of reporting deaths. They began by claiming every death where someone was suspected of having COVID when they died was to be recorded as a COVID death.
This resulted in thousands of deaths being reported as COVID deaths that were not. We reported on this in August 2020.
Our article received a huge amount of attention as word got out that only 6% of all deaths reported as COVID deaths were actually due to COVID only. The remaining 94% of the deaths reported as COVID deaths were deaths with COVID where those who died had multiple other co-morbidities as well. On average, those who were labeled as dying from COVID had more than two other co-morbidities.
President Trump shared this story as well as his son Don Jr and many others on Twitter. “6%” was shared all over the Internet and into the mainstream. We at TGP were attacked and criticized for making the claim that only 6% of COVID deaths died from COVID only, even though the information came from the CDC’s site.
Today the Head of the CDC was asked how many people died from COVID and how many with COVID of the reported 836,000 COVID deaths.
Asked "how many of the 836,000 deaths in the U.S. linked to Covid are FROM Covid or how many are WITH Covid," CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky says "those data will be forthcoming." pic.twitter.com/JVcFk3aunc
The CDC stated on its website (last reviewed Sept. 2021) that to control the spread of disease within their borders, states have laws to enforce the use of isolation and quarantine. The law also includes the use of police power functions in their quarantine stations.
“In addition to serving as medical functions, isolation and quarantine also are “police power” functions, derived from the right of the state to take action affecting individuals for the benefit of society,” CDC stated on their website.
States have police power functions to protect the health, safety, and welfare of persons within their borders. To control the spread of disease within their borders, states have laws to enforce the use of isolation and quarantine.
These laws can vary from state to state and can be specific or broad. In some states, local health authorities implement state law. In most states, breaking a quarantine order is a criminal misdemeanor.
Tribes also have police power authority to take actions that promote the health, safety, and welfare of their own tribal members. Tribal health authorities may enforce their own isolation and quarantine laws within tribal lands, if such laws exist.
Who Is in Charge:
1. The federal government
Acts to prevent the entry of communicable diseases into the United States. Quarantine and isolation may be used at U.S. ports of entry.
Is authorized to take measures to prevent the spread of communicable diseases between states.
May accept state and local assistance in enforcing federal quarantine.
May assist state and local authorities in preventing the spread of communicable diseases.
2. State, local, and tribal authorities
Enforce isolation and quarantine within their borders.
It is possible for federal, state, local, and tribal health authorities to have and use all at the same time separate but coexisting legal quarantine power in certain events. In the event of a conflict, federal law is supreme.
The quarantine stations are located at 20 ports of entry and land-border crossings where most international travelers arrive as stated on the website. It seems like illegal immigrants are exempted in this case.
According to its authority and scope, CDC has the legal authority to detain any person who may have an infectious disease that is specified by the Executive Order to be quarantinable.
CDC may issue a federal isolation or quarantine order if a quarantinable disease is suspected or identified. Federal isolation or quarantine order was last enforced during influenza.
As stated above, some states, local health authorities implement state law. TGP’s Alicia Powe reported that the Washington State Board of Health may soon amend state law to authorize the involuntary detainment of residents as young as 5 years old in Covid-19 “internment camps” for failing to comply with the state’s experimental vaccine mandate.
U.S.—A landmark study conducted by Columbia University has found that The U.S. Supreme Court has now spread more COVID misinformation than your crazy aunt who shares conspiracy theories on Facebook.
“This is very startling,” said Dr. Holson Bogtruggles, who conducted the study. “Because your Facebook Aunt is insane. Facebook has an entire department dedicated to monitoring the sheer volume of misinformation she shares, and the Supreme Court topped her in one day.”
Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor dismissed the study, saying: “With more than 32 trillion people and 12 billion malfunctioning toaster ovens dying of COVID every three seconds, I think we have more important things to worry about here.”
Social media platforms have warned users against sharing any quotes from the oral arguments on Biden’s vaccine mandate this week, warning that such posts will be deleted, and possibly cause for suspension. “One cannot overstate how dangerous these deranged conspiracy theorists on the Supreme Court are,” said Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg. “I hope they’re not, like, in charge of interpreting the law of the land or anything.”
Fox News anchor Bret Baier confronted CDC Director Rochelle Walensky Sunday over several topics related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including whether she could explain how many COVID deaths in the United States are “from COVID” versus “with COVID.”
What is the background?
More than 836,000 Americans have died from COVID, but the government has yet to distinguish deaths from COVIDand deaths with COVID. The key difference being: Did the person die from their COVID infection or did they die for another reason, but tested positive for COVID before they passed away?
In fact, the CDC explains that up to 95% — or perhaps even more — of all COVID deaths happened in Americans with co-morbidities or other conditions.
“There were co-morbidities or other conditions listed on the death certificate for as many as 95% of all COVID-19 deaths,” the CDC explains. “The other 5% of death certificates in which COVID-19 was the only condition listed was likely related to a lack of detail listed about other conditions present at the time of death.”
What happened Sunday?
During an interview on “Fox News Sunday,” anchor Bret Baier confronted Walensky about whether she could explain how many Americans have died from COVIDversus with COVID.
“How many of the 836,000 deaths in the U.S. linked to COVID are ‘from COVID’ or how many are ‘with COVID,’ but they had other co-morbidities? Do you have that breakdown?” Baier asked.
Walensky, however, failed to provide the breakdown.
“Yes, of course with Omicron we’re following that very carefully,” Walensky said “Our death registry, of course, takes a few weeks to — and is a — takes a few weeks to collect, and of course, Omicron has just been with us for a few weeks, but those data will be forthcoming.”
Later in the interview, Baier asked Walensky if her leadership has eroded the public’s trust in the CDC, which she promised to repair when Joe Biden appointed her to lead the agency.
“Do you think that it’s fair to say that the trust and confidence the public has gone down with the CDC?” Baier asked.
In response, Walenksy noted how “hard” her job has been.
“You know, this is hard,” Walenksy said. “We have ever-evolving science with an ever-evolving variant and my job is to provide updated guidance in the context of rapidly rising cases. And that is what we’ve done and I’m here to explain it to the American people and I’m committed to continuing to do so and to continuing to improve.”
Many Christians are getting into the Enneagram. They shouldn’t be. Folks may claim that this is just a personality test and self-discovery tool, that it has Christian roots, and that it is harmless, but all three of these claims are false, as I will explain shortly.
But for those not in the know, the Enneagram is simply a geometric figure, or diagram – a circle with nine points, meant to represent nine different personality types (ennéais the Greek word for ‘nine’). While plenty of secular businesses and others make use of it, sadly some Christians over the past few decades have been promoting this as something quite useful for believers.
Indeed, consider two key evangelical publishers (Zondervan and IVP) that have been pushing this, as evidenced by the key ‘Christian’ books that enthusiasticallypromote the Enneagram:
-Heuertz, Christopher, The Sacred Enneagram: Finding Your Unique Path to Spiritual Growth. Zondervan, 2017. -Rohr, Richard and Andreas Ebert, The Enneagram: A Christian Perspective. Crossroad, 1999, 2001. -Stabile, Susan, The Road Back to You: An Enneagram Journey to Self-Discovery. IVP, 2016.
So far the only major full-length Christian critique of this is NOT from a major evangelical publishing house. It is this book:
Marcia Montenegro, Don Veinot and Joy Veinot, Richard Rohr and the Enneagram Secret. MCOI Pub., 2020.
Richard Rohr and the Enneagram Secret by Veinot, Don (Author), Veinot, Joy (Author), Montenegro, Marcia (Author), House, H. Wayne (Foreword)
Because the roots of the Enneagram are actually in the occult and New Age spirituality, biblical Christians must be aware of what this is all about. Here I will mainly draw from the Montenegro and Veinot book, although a number of good articles and videos can also be appealed to, some of which I will list at the end of this article.
The authors are well-placed to discuss this matter. Montenegro had been heavily involved in occult practices and the New Age Movement (NAM) before becoming a Christian, and the Veinots have long been involved in ministering to those in cults and New Religious Movements.
In this very well documented volume, the authors explode the three myths I mentioned above, and others. As to this just being a simple personality test, they make it clear there is no psychological validity to it, and no solid social science evidence to support it.
Moreover, those behind it say otherwise. One of its main proponents, Richard Rohr has admitted to this: “The purpose of the Enneagram is not self-improvement, which would be our ego’s goal. Rather, it is the transformation of consciousness so that we can realize our essence, our True Self.”
Hmm, sounds just like the sort of stuff I used to read when I as into the NAM. It is all about self, self-realisation, and cosmic consciousness. This has nothing to do with either biblical Christianity, or ordinary personality tests such as the Myers-Briggs test. And even that has been questioned by some: http://www.vox.com/2014/7/15/5881947/myers-briggs-personality-test-meaningless
As to the claim that this practice goes back to some fourth century church fathers, this is patently false. The authors carefully trace the lineage of this through to some well-known occultic and spiritist figures of the past 150 years such as George Gurdjieff, P. D. Ouspensky, and Claudio Naranjo. These names were certainly familiar to me when I was into the NAM.
Say the authors: “In summary, the origins of the Enneagram are in mysticism, occultism, and New Age. It has no origins in history prior to the early twentieth century. In fact, it is not based on empirically validated psychological theories or psychometric studies. It is based on the intuitive and occult-based mystical experiences of one man: Claudio Naranjo. The Enneagram is no more valid than Astrology, and… may be more dangerous.”
And as to the claim that this is harmless, and something Christians can get involved with, the authors show how very wrong this is. Simply consider the main ‘Christian’ promoter of this, Richard Rohr. He is a Catholic priest who has made it quite clear over the years that he has nothing to do with biblical Christianity. Indeed, simply consider his recent book, The Universal Christ.
Consider just one area: sin. Anyone familiar with Eastern thought and New Age views knows that the main point is to understand that we are already one with God. – indeed that we ARE God. Overcoming our false idea that we are somehow separate from God is a common teaching here.
And Rohr pushes the very same thing, claiming that sin is simply thinking we are distinct from God. But Scripture makes it clear that we are NOT God nor part of God. We are created beings who are separate from God both because we are created beings, and because we are fallen sinners. We do not find God by looking within – we find God by looking to Christ, and turning away from sin and self.
Conservative Catholics also are quite critical of Rohr. The authors quote one of them who says, “The Christ whom Rohr preaches is not the authentic Jesus … that the Church has proclaimed and safeguarded for 2,000 years with the power of the Holy Spirit. As a result, Rohr remains an unreliable and spiritually dangerous guide for Catholic and non-Catholic alike.”
The authors have a chapter on whether something like the Enneagram can be ‘Christianised’ and whether God can redeem everything. They write:
God’s word is quite clear that God will redeem those who have trusted in Christ; and He will redeem creation – make a “new heaven” and “new earth” (see Revelation 21:1). However, He will not redeem other things, but rather cast them into the Lake of Fire: Satan’s angels, death, and those who have rejected him (Revelation 19:20; Revelation 20:10, 14-14; 21:8).
Will witchcraft be redeemed? No. Will sorcery be redeemed? No. Will astrology be redeemed? No.
In truth, as the authors insist, the “Enneagram is not spiritually neutral. Having myself (Marcia) been involved in the occult practices of Astrology, contacting the dead, using divinatory tools (Numerology, Astrology, Tarot), and having spirit guides, I can say with 100% confidence that nothing that is a product of these practices or of New Age beliefs is beneficial for anyone; and it is always spiritually harmful at the least.”
Let me conclude with their closing paragraphs:
Rohr is a huge reason why and how the Enneagram came into the church – first in the progressive church and then in the church at large. Since then, it has gained rapid momentum due to books published, classes, seminars, and retreats taught by Rohr’s students and disciples….
If the Enneagram had stemmed from scientific, psychological studies, testing, and research and afterward had been used in the New Age, one could, perhaps, argue that Christians could still use it by going back to its original model. But there is no such model for the Enneagram. It originated with occult mystic George Gurdjieff, and it had no personality types. (Astrology also originally had nothing to do with personality.) Perhaps a final word from the Scriptures is in order:
“Do not turn to mediums or necromancers; do not seek them out, and so make yourselves unclean by them: I am the LORD your God” (Leviticus 19:31).
That day of victory at Gibeon has been called “Joshua’s great day.” On it he rose to his greatest height of glory and of confidence in God. As he stood upon the mountain heights and watched the terrified Canaanites flee away before him beaten and buffeted by the storm, he felt himself more than man, felt that the elements themselves were subject to him. He must have time, time and daylight sufficient utterly to destroy all these evil men of Canaan. So he looked up to God in heaven and made his celebrated outcry to the sun and moon to stand still and aid his vengeance. “And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed.”
Many Bible students take this as a mere poetic figure, meaning that the day was long enough to complete the victory. Others read it as an actual lengthening of the terrestrial day, and there can be no question that the writer of the Book of Joshua so regarded it, and gloried in the miracle. He cries out in triumph “And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the Lord hearkened unto the voice of a man.”
He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not; he will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light. Job 33:27-28 This is a word of truth, gathered from the experience of a man of…
We live in an age where God is trivialized. God is seen as a friend, one whom I can have a personal relationship with, and although God is a friend of sinners, has the church lost sight of the significance of this truth? Has the Evangelical Church taken God’s kindness for granted? On this episode of the White Horse Inn our hosts discuss the Holiness of God showing that though God is a friend to sinners who have trusted in Jesus for their salvation, God is still Holy and wrathful against sin. It is only when we recognize that God is holy that we can see his amazing grace toward sinners who trust in Jesus (originally aired 01-06-91).
The letters to Timothy were written to encourage him in his work as a pastor. When you skim through them, you will immediately notice the wide range of instruction such as dealing with false teachers, prayer and instructions for both the church leadership and the life of the church.
In our Scripture lesson today Timothy is encouraged to devote himself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation and to teaching. To devote oneself is to concentrate on a particular pursuit, occupation, purpose, or cause. It is to be dedicated to our calling.
Our Scripture lesson warns that some will depart from the faith because they have devoted themselves to “deceitful spirits and teaching of demons” (verse 1). The Christ-follower, however, presses forward in the faith delivered once for all. The believer understands that life is a journey that by God’s grace leads to the world to come, a journey that is fraught with danger and difficulty. To navigate that journey as good servants of Jesus Christ requires devotion.
Today is already the second Lord’s Day in this new calendar year. God’s people will attend their local house of worship to give special attention to the Word of God. Will you devote yourself to receiving the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation and teaching? And for each day that follows?
Suggestions for prayer
Pray for God’s continued blessing on devoted public worship and devoted daily service.

When news of Israel’s alliance with Gibeon spread through Canaan, there was new matter for anxiety in the land; for Gibeon was one of its greatest cities, and would furnish the invaders a secure stronghold and centre for their attacks. Immediate action was taken. All the chief city-kings of southern Palestine united their forces and marched against Gibeon, hoping to destroy it before Joshua could come to its aid.
The Gibeonites sent hurried word to their ally, and he at once set out with all his forces to the rescue. Gibeon stood high up among the mountains not far north of Jerusalem. From the valley camp at Gilgal this was a long hard night’s journey for the Israelites; but they accomplished it successfully, heroically, and in the early dawning rushed upon their astonished enemies.
This was Joshua’s greatest battle. The Canaanites fled and Israel pursued. The heavens also took part in the dread conflict; for as the Canaanites rushed away, a terrific storm of hail burst upon them, and beat them down. “They were more which died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.”

Dems Forcing Change on America–And It’s All Bad nder the guise of ‘protecting our democracy’, Democrats are intentionally destroying that democracy, that self-government ‘experiment’ our founders fought and died to create. From election fraud to pandemic and vaccine tyranny, to the contortion of voting rights, to the disintegration of our great cities, immigration laws and beloved military, they no longer are willing to compete in the contest of ideas. We even have political prisoners, non-violent Trump supporters, à la Communist China. They languish in prison without bail, without trial. It’s their way of attempting to murder MAGA.

God help you if you are still getting your news from Fox because they aren’t giving you any. Fox News is so corrupt and devoid of either morals or intellect that they cannot discern between what constitutes a man and a woman. They are not the same, and one cannot become the other. ‘Amy’ Schneider was born a man and will spend the rest of his days as a man, albeit as ‘Mrs. Doubtfire’.
You Likely Haven’t Heard Of Ultra-Wideband Technology, But It’s Here And Poised To Take Society A Giant Step Closer To The Mark Of The Beast In order for something like the Mark of the Beast to function well and be effective as it’s allowing you access to global ‘buying and selling’, it’s going to take a superior wireless technology to power it. The internet and social media didn’t really come into its own until broadband internet was available to most people. Remember when downloading a 5MGB file was an occasion to leave, get a cup of coffee and come back? I sure do. Now no one bats an eye sharing 100MGB videos through standard text messaging. Ultra-Wideband Technology is going to be a paradigm shift in how we use not only the internet, but the internet of things.

For almost two years, the globalists have been conducting an experiment on us. It has been Satanically- inspired. The last two years have been a check to see how obedient we will be! In short, how much we will absorb without objection and even pushback. Many are behaving like sheeple, obeying every order, while others are willing to risk all for freedom and liberty.
The scheme was likely in the works for years or decades, but officially was launched at “Event 201” in October of 2019. This was a conference organized by the Gates Foundation, comprised of billionaires, bankers, and global elites. They even gave out stuffed Covid toys!
They simulated a worldwide pandemic and contemplated the destruction of economies and how to respond. They visualized a new world order where there is no poverty, a much smaller world population, and where they rule indefinitely.
But they needed a fear-induced crisis. And then the pandemic hit and changed the lifestyle of people in almost 200 nations. The result of this engineered crisis is lawless mandates and rising tyranny.
The result is good employees being unemployed for avoiding vaccine mandates and horrific division in families, churches, and all of society. In essence, a two-tiered society has emerged of the vaccinated vs. the unvaccinated. Whoever could have imagined?
Some have called this a “plandemic” and have called it the most horrific scheme and experiment in human history. The early request for fifteen days to slow the spread morphed into “two jabs or lose your job.” The American government said they would never mandate vaccines, but changed their tune quickly.
But if you listen to the global elite, they have a glorious future planned for humanity. Understand that the government will take care of everything and you will own nothing and be happy. But we will have peace and safety if we follow our leaders. And good health.
In December, the pandemic became more apocalyptic. Some nations toyed with the idea of embedding Covid vaccine passports under the skin in your hand. Sweden announced they were implementing this. Now images from the book of Revelation are leaping out at us.
John Whitehead, head of the respected Rutherford Institute, has been sounding an alarm. He has warned of the overreach of government, starting with Australia’s quarantine camps.
He states, “We have a system just begging to be abused by power- hungry bureaucrats desperate to retain their power at all costs. It’s happened before. As history shows, the U.S. government is not averse to locking up its own citizens for its own purposes.
“We only need to go back to the 1940s when the federal government proclaimed that Japanese- Americans were dangerous, labeled them dissidents, and put them in internment camps based only upon their ethnic origin. Here we see the lengths governments will go to maintain ‘order’ in the homeland.”
Whitehead concludes, “The U.S. Supreme Court validated this program if governments need to ensure safety of the country. It can then trump all personal liberties.”
Austrians are pleading for help as they face huge fines and one year in jail for refusing an experimental vaccine. The perpetrator also has to pay for his food and his prison cell. The Austrian government does not ask murderers, rapists, or pedophiles to pay the cost of their incarceration. However, they will now demand prison payments for those not following the Covid agenda, starting with the vaccine.
Millions are demonstrating in two- dozen countries demanding their governments back off and let them live free once again. Parts of Australia are a gulag as leaders there know no shame and are proud of their authoritarianism. It’s for the greater good.
Dr. Anthony Fauci now admits, “We’re going to have to start living with Covid. I believe that’s the case because I don’t think we’re going to eradicate it.” That means that there isn’t going to be an end to the vaccine passports, the mandates or the injections. You are going to keep getting shots year after year after year in order to keep earning the “privileges” that you have been granted by these elitists. “Going back to normal” may be a pipedream.
A Mr. Fix-It is waiting in the wings, eager to take advantage and turn the masses towards him. Before that can happen, the Church must disappear in what is known as the Rapture. What we see happening now reminds us to relax our grasp on the things of this world and to watch as never before for our departure to the place our Savior is preparing for us.
COVID-19 Is A Pandemic Of Fear Manufactured By Authorities Says Yale Epidemiologist
December 8, 2021
According to Dr. Harvey Risch, an epidemiologist at Yale University, the COVID-19 pandemic was one of fear, manufactured by people in nominal positions of power as the virus spread around the world last year.
Risch, professor of epidemiology at Yale School of Public Health and Yale School of Medicine’s Department of Epidemiology and Public Health, argued that majorly, the general characteristics of the pandemic has always been a “degree of fear and people’s response to the fear”. He did so on Epoch TV’s program “American Thought Leaders”.
"I'm looking at clinicians who have now treated more than 150,000 patients, with fewer than 2 dozen deaths, with #hydroxychloroquine."
Yale epidemiologist Dr. Harvey Risch on the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine, #Ivermectin & other therapeutics.
“Overall, I’d say that we’ve had a pandemic of fear. And fear has affected almost everybody, whereas the infection has affected relatively few,” said Risch.
“By and large, it’s been a very selected pandemic, and predictable. It was very distinguished between young versus old, healthy versus chronic disease people. So we quickly learned who was at risk for the pandemic and who wasn’t.
“However, the fear was manufactured for everybody. And that’s what’s characterized the whole pandemic is that degree of fear and people’s response to the fear.”
Thousands of protesters took to the streets of Hamburg on Saturday to denounce COVID restrictions and show their opposition to vaccination requirements to access leisure activities in the northern German port.
Thousands of protesters held a mass anti-vaccination pass demo called ‘Year of Freedom’ in Brussels on Sunday. In December last year, several violent protests took place in Belgium after the government announced strict measures to try to curb the spread of the coronavirus, including mandatory mask wearing for primary school children and a lengthening of the school holidays, in addition to the obligation to present COVID-19 passes in order to access bars and restaurants, which was introduced in October.
