Apocalyptic World Agenda

Leaders of the world play a vital role for the current and future state of society. The values that leaders hold play a significant role in their decision making, but what happens when a leader is mentally absent? Is he really making the decisions or is someone else working behind the curtain?

We all know that money can empower and should a leader’s decisions be compromised by selfish gain, morality is at stake. Without the fear or God, a good moral compass, dignity and courage to stand up for what it right, the followers of any leader, may be in danger. If the corrupt lead as an incumbent, hardworking tax money may become the means to fund corruption and a plan that will hurt us in the end.

I once worked in a business park that had pedestrian paths that would continue from one block to the next, ideal for a good run after work, which I ended up doing. After a week of running around several block, I took a different path and came across a shrine of flowers, candles and a cross next to the sidewalk. I told my co-workers about it the next day and they told me the story of how a business man who was shot dead in that location. This man was involved in a company that started off legit and slowly got involved in illegal business. He wanted out and told his partners. To prevent their illegal acts from being exposed, they shot him that day. As we live in an imperfect world where there’s greed, corruption and pain in some households, if look at the actions of some leaders and question it as self-gain dealings that are against society, it’s labeled as conspiracy theory.

Should the richest group of elites in the world fund the decisions made by the leaders of our country, what will become of society? It depends on the agenda of the elites or what some call, the deep state. If we read the articles that support the agenda of the United Nations (UN), World Economic Forum (WEF), the World Government Summit, Environmental Social Governance (ESG) or any other World Governing Organizations, many goals sound very beneficial to society with a significant emphasis on preventing climate change. After all, who would not want to save the earth, but what if it meant significantly cutting food production, eating fake meat or even bugs? What if it meant reducing the population by significantly decreasing the birthrates? Even more horrific, what if the agenda required all of us to be tracked in the name of climate change for the reason to track carbon emissions? Sounds crazy, but it’s happening.

Our current leader, the man who hold the highest position in power, seems to half asleep most of the time. He often looses his train of thought and forgets where he’s supposed to go, yet many people are still voting for his second term. If the current leader of the country is loosing control over his own thoughts, then who’s making these decisions for our country? The border is wide open. When he took office the first thing he did was to stop building the wall. The laws allow people that come in here illegally to be released into our country, while some with a clear record who apply for a tourist visa legally get rejected. Not only do we let people who come to our country illegally, stay, but they are rewarded with free healthcare, lodging, education, and money, while all the hardworking tax payers are paying for all of it. Although humanitarian aid is a good thing, you wouldn’t want to take 10,000 people into your house and feed them because, you just don’t have the capacity or the means for it, just as our country. An open border means easy access for drugs, criminals and human trafficking to come into our country and the fact that our president has widened it since he’s taken office, makes one wonder how he’s benefiting from it.

Bill Gates, who is involved with the WEF, has invested in the fake meat business and had bought out so much farm land that he may actually be the one who owns the most of it in this country. He believes in the integration of technology and food beyond genetic modification, but to a point where it may change our own DNA. These WEF leaders want to push this fourth industrial revolution which involves integration our own human biology with technology hoping to get us to a point where we can live for a thousand years. With nanotechnology, this infusing of technology can be done via injection. The UN had an article that described the benefits of eating bugs for protein.

Farmers around the world are being told to cut back on production and are protesting. All in the name of the environment under ESG, Sri Lanka cut back on production and it lead to starvation and a revolt against the leader of the country. They stormed his house, trashed it and took some belongings.

Many companies are going for the ESG rating now a days. You see it on the websites of many companies. I’m not sure if they get paid to follow ESG requirements, but they do get some type of rating. Elon Musk had spoken about the ESG rating, saying that the S stands for Satan, after they gave him a low rating when he started supporting the right. The social part of ESG is associated with a transgender agenda, just look at Bud Lights commercial that led to a loss of billions of dollars. Parents are fighting school boards for allowing books with pedophilia and graphic material to be in their libraries and taught in class. All the while, gender-surgery hospitals are popping up all over the nation profiting off of the woke curriculum taught in high-schools. These hormone blockers given to children for transitioning can lead to impotence further leading to a decrease in birthrates.

One of the slogans of the WEF for society is “you’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy and you’ll have no privacy.” Why is it that the thinkers of the WEF believe they should be making decisions for how we should live our lives. One of the speakers believes that freedom is not a human right. Another spoke about how everyone’s carbon footprint can be tracked. We are already being tracked with our phones and can be listened to by our devices, even our smart TV. If we use Siri, our information is being collected, what we watch, search, go, and with Apply pay, what we buy. China took this several steps further with facial recognition to access almost everything, most importantly, bank accounts. Cameras on the streets record faces and people are given points. If you have a low rating, you may not be able to fly anywhere.

China is already on a digital currency, but our country, as well as others are also working to get there. Although it may be convenient for transfers, if the power goes out it can be an issue, but what’s far more worrisome, is the ability of the government to easily freeze accounts within seconds. It would be a great tool for a dictator.

All it takes is one corrupt leader in this country to get us to the same communist ways where everyone will be controlled and the media used as a tool to convince us that what is morally wrong is actually right or even further, what is trending. The massive spending in our country is hurting our country, degrading the dollar. With high inflation, poverty increases and financial struggles comes crime. People escape from other countries to find refuge in another, but what if there was a one world government, where would one flee? Elon Musk had mentioned once at a WEF meeting that one government for all nations is a threat to the survival of humanity. If one country falls, others will still stand, but if the only government in the entire world crashes down, then we are all doomed.

Arizona Road Trip

Driving North to South

Starting from Flagstaff, Arizona with snow on the side of the road, we drove up to the Grand Canyon. Snow covered the top of the canyon. From there, further north to horse shoe bend. Many tourist were present speaking different languages.

The next two days was driving south to Phoenix, stopping at other sites along the way. Then further South to Tuscon and Tombstone. As we drove further south, cacti started to appear scattered throughout the terrain below the mountains. Stepping into the historic street in Tombstone took us back in history.

Oregon Road Trip

On the Road for 4 Days

5 and 2000+ miles of driving

Day 1: Downtown Chico, Sundial Bridge in Redding, then arriving in Oregon at Klamath Falls
Day 2: Crater Lake, Painted Hills
Day 3: Ogden Canon, Riverfront Park in Salem, Willamette Falls and Multnomah Falls in Portland
Day 4: Canon Beach, Tillamook Factory and other Beaches going south towards Trinidad
Day 5: Agate Beach in Trinidad and Eureka

A few things I noticed about Oregon: beautiful parks, tall evergreen trees, Dutch Brothers Coffee and gas was $1 cheaper than in California.

God’s Faithfulness in the Small Things

Photo by Matheus Bertelli on Pexels.com

Since June, I have been searching for a new car. It took a while for me to make up my mind on which car to buy. I must have test drove at least 7 cars. I then narrowed my list down to 3, then 2 and finally, after almost three months, I was down to 1. I was taking my time to look because my car still took me from point A to point B. As I wrote about last week, my check engine light turned on when I was on my way to the bank, which I’ve been meaning to ask about a car loan from for a long while, but kept putting it off. A few days later when I got really serious about buying, the light stopped showing.

I needed to search for the best price and I thought I found it in Los Angeles and that I had to drive down there, but of course I’d rather not do the long drive. I began to be interested in a newer model and couldn’t find a similar car close by, then all of a sudden I felt that I should expand my search by $3k and lo and behold, the same exact car, same color on the exterior and interior, around the same mileage, was an hour and a half drive away from me and, it was almost $2k less than the one in L.A. So I drove over there and they gave me a great deal on a trade in. I had to drive to the bank for the deposit and drive back. When I arrived to the bank, there was no one in line. Then I needed to use the bathroom, my cell phone was dying and I didn’t have a charger. The teller told me that the store next door had a bathroom so I went to the neighboring store and close to the bathroom was a rack of phone chargers. What perfect timing and placement!

It was a long drive and by the time I got back I was tired, hungry and they were about to close. I filled out the paperwork quickly on a tiny screen and thought I saw some numbers that seemed off. I kept thinking about it, started to feel anxious so I prayed, “Lord, I don’t feel good about the numbers, I think something is off. The fees seem way too high. If the numbers are really off and I’m being charged for something that I shouldn’t be changed for, please clear it up. Have the numbers person catch it and let me know. Amen!” My prayer was something like that. Anyhow, the day after, someone called and told me that I was charged for something I shouldn’t have been charged for because my down payment was large enough to not need it. Then I asked him if there were other fees included that were optional and he disclosed another add on. So sad that this place didn’t ask me about adding these additional options, but God bless the guy’s soul who called me about this. If it weren’t for him, that company would look so terrible. Overall, the optional fees taken off totaled to almost $5k.

Even if it’s just material, a car, God was along my side, opening doors, guiding me and after the phone call, wow, I mean…how often would you find someone that honest to do such a thing? I believe the Lord really spoke to him. God’s has been showing me His faithful hand over my life. What may seem like such a small thing, is really a big thing when it comes to the way the whole sequence of events come together and prayers get answered along the way.

Finding Joy in a Desolate Season

Life is great when all is well, but we all know that it’s not always happiness and joy. There are seasons of rain and drought. The passages of scripture in the Bible in the book of Ecclesiastes says that there is a time for everything :

To everything there is a season,
A time for every purpose under heaven: 2A time [a]to be born,
And a time to die;
A time to plant,
And a time to pluck what is planted;
A time to kill,
And a time to heal;
A time to break down,
And a time to build up;
A time to weep,
And a time to laugh;
A time to mourn,
And a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones,
And a time to gather stones;
A time to embrace,
And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to gain,
And a time to lose;
A time to keep,
And a time to throw away;
A time to tear,
And a time to sew;
A time to keep silence,
And a time to speak;
A time to love,
And a time to hate;
A time of war,
And a time of peace.

There have been times of sadness and joy, times when I feel like I’m in a desert, a place with no water to fulfill my thirty soul. There have been times of rejoicing when hopes come into fruition, but in the dry season of life, should there never be any joy?

Moreover, the rain in life that satisfies the thirst for dreams, wishes or goals, doesn’t always quench and coming to realizing once again, the joy inside me.

It’s been a long while, walking through life, trying to put my faith in Christ, when things seem to not go as expected, a waiting pattern that seems to strip hope away day after day. The ever so common question arises, “why God why?

Feeling distant as if God is silent, doubt starts to settle in. Where is He? Is He still listening? Then a series of events within two days happens, each resulting from the next. First, receiving a notification of a compromised account, led to having to get a new card and finally, after searching for a new car for the past month and a half, I finally inquired of a car loan, she told me I was approved and granted the exact amount I was thinking in my head.

In addition, since searching for a car for so long, I wasn’t under pressure because my car was still doing fine, mechanically. Then for the first time, when I turned on my car before going to the bank, my check engine light came on, which was the first time ever.

I had mentioned this to the teller and she told me the exact thing I was thinking, that, “the Lord is telling you to get a new car.” I had been taking my time about purchasing and she mentioned something about having to be under pressure to finally do it, like with the check engine light.

Maybe to most this might not seem like a big deal or coincidence, but having been in seasons of hearing His voice inside of me, then being in a desolate silent desert for long, then once again, the rain comes and that very clear message that God gives, satisfies my soul.

It is like rain drops in the desert, an instant thirst quencher.

Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.

Matthew 4:4

It is the confirmation of His love, undoubtedly letting me know that He’s listening. He’s with me and has not forgotten about me & that alone, is all I need for joy.

Choosing Purpose Over Feelings

Never exempt from having a bad day, it is expected, sometimes everyday, once a week, once a month or several times a year. Things will go bad, maybe a flat tire, parking ticket, loosing a wallet, a job, a break-up or the worst, a loved one.

Even in the worst times, life goes on and for some that play a critical position that many depend on, we have to forsake our feelings and live outside of ourselves to fulfill a greater purpose. When we have a position to fulfill and need to be at a certain place at a certain time, it seems at that time, right before you break-through, it can feel like a ton of bricks full of emotions is thrown down at you, wanting to keep you from getting off of the floor. That, of a tidal wave on its way toward you ready to knock the heck out of you.

Yes, emotions are a blessing, but sometimes you wish they weren’t there. At the turning points in life, where you are doing something that will break barriers carried from generation to generation, it’s as if opposition is tremendously stronger than what anyone else is going through, as if you are carrying the weight of previous generations to the finish line.

I’ve felt the struggle when I had to persevere through tough times when I felt I wanted to give up or hopeless of ever making it. The most pain-staking times have to be the times when I had to be somewhere at a certain time for the purpose of serving God in certain ways. Although, volunteering to be a camera person in church may sound minuscule to some, when I had to leave home to drive to church, strong emotional pain hit me so hard all of a sudden. I felt like not going. It was my first day or serving and I did not want to go. It’s important to recognize the works of the enemy, the dark-side that wants to keep us from crossing into something greater. With tears falling from my eyes as an emotional wreck, I made it and at the end of the service, I received a blessing that was the start of a changed life.

If not for emotional pain coming at the wrong time, there were times I felt way too tired to go, almost changing my mind and had I listened to my feelings, I wouldn’t have been blessed just by getting into my car, driving over and walking into church.

The most life-changing time was before I got baptized, I kept getting thoughts, telling me I’m not ready or that it won’t change anything or that I’m not worthy in God’s eyes, but I proceeded and it changed my life forever.

Even if we feel tired, emotionally distraught or depressed, sometimes surrendering to God also means, surrendering our feelings and knowing that there’s something much greater than our ourselves, but God’s purpose. Instead of allowing feelings to take over, it’s better to get down on your knees and just worship God, not because of your difficult situation, but because who God is and that He is worthy to be praised.

So it came about when Moses held his hand up, that Israel prevailed, and when he let his hand down, Amalek prevailed.

Exodus 17:11

Worshiping God does not always mean lifting up our hands, but also obedience and sacrifice or putting God above anything or anyone we love. Look up, not inwards and let Him pour out His love, peace and joy on you today.

Where Technology Needs to Stop

Photo by eberhard grossgasteiger on Pexels.com

Technology has helped our lives in many ways, making living easier, innovations more possible and opening up many doors of exploration and discovery. We should all be thankful for the technology we use today that has improved work or life at home. My most valued piece of technology is the smart phone that has apps, which allows me to find any place anywhere at anytime, as long as I have a connection.

If technology has done so much for us, why not keep moving forward innovating into other areas? For the most part, we have all benefited, but at what point or areas in our life do we leave technology out?

There’s so many social media platforms and companies that provide email services, yet collect all your information. No longer do you have privacy or get to decide what they collect.

Then there’s the metaverse, a made up virtual world where people can escape reality and never meet with people face-to-face, but via avatar. A place where people can spend money buying virtual things that you will never get to wear, smell, taste or physically live in. How much time would we spend living and interacting with people outside of reality in a virtual body?

Impossible food

When it comes to our food, there are some delicious tasting drinks and desserts, yet are extremely processed, chemically formulated with ingredients that are hard to pronounce. As enjoyable as these foods may be, they can cause much harm to our body.

If our bodies were created to take on food in its pure or organic form, when we eat fake processed foods that our bodies do not recognize, it may not know what to do with it. The more fake or processed, the worst off it will be.

This whole impossible meat thing is marketed as a great thing, as if healthy. Now, fake-meat is being printed to look like real meat. Don’t eat meat, just eat vegetables that are highly processed, have lost almost all its nutrients and have preservatives added in to keep the fake meat patty preserved. It would be better to eat a portabella mushroom in place of a fake patty, at least it’s real and unprocessed.

Super humans

If not for technology in our food, it seems to be making its way into our bodies through other means, such as vaccines. Scientists have already created vaccines with nanotechnology. Imagine microscopic technology moving around your veins with the other cells in your body. The vision for the fourth industrial revolution seeks to create “super humans,” via nanotechnology in the body. This technology is supposed to heal or fix our body internally. In addition, the goal is to change the DNA of the body to allow humans to live for 1000 years. Who really wants to live for that long? Imagine being 130 years old and everyone you were close to has already passed away, yet you still have another 870 years ahead.

Artificial Intelligence

As technology continues to advance over the years and more rapidly, artificial intelligence is taking over certain jobs. Some creators of A.I. have stepped away and are now warning authorities about the dangers of A.I. that such further development would be unethical and harmful to society. A.I. can mimic a person’s voice, which can be used for fraudulent activity and robbery.

Calling a customer service line and having to speak to some type of automated machine or A.I. is irritating. In addition, most websites only provide email or online communication via chat box, with no phone number provided.

Some stores with have no cashiers, only self check-out and taxi companies are trying to replace their drivers with auto-pilot. We already have cars with technology that allow the car to drive itself, park itself, swerve to the other lane if a car is coming, and possibly other features that allow a driver to be a passenger in the drivers seat. However, we all know that technology is not always reliable.

There’s a brain chip coming out that will help metal disorders and the depletion of memory and although the benefits are grand, with the chip embedded in the brain, it will take away that person’s ability to fully control his or her thoughts. The person that controls the chip can control that person’s thoughts.

Nature

As scientists keep pushing to unveil the mysteries of the universe and creation, the further they explore, the more they start to look to the spiritual world, thinking about the invisible hand of an ultimate creator.

Think of the creation of nature, the trees, the water, animals on sea or land, the stars in the sky, the plants, and the universe. It all comes or works together. Nature around us may be overlooked, but the creation of living, breathing things are very complex. The structure of a leaf, the way its flexible and waterproof, it can bend and not break in the wind and fall, yet be renewed every year. Small things to consider, but the design of nature is far beyond that any human can replicate. No human can create life or living things, only dead things that require batteries or electricity to charge in increments. Humans can create A.I. that can eventually think on their own, but it will never have life inside of it.

Think about a seed, so small in size, can be kept for many years, but when it’s buried under fertile soil, watered daily with some sunlight, life happens inside the seed and in a few days it sprouts and reaches toward the light. Eventually, it can become food for us or a large tree that can clean the air and or remove toxins from the ground. It can become a shelter or habitat for animals or insects. Nature itself glorifies its Creator.

As some humans feel that natural creation is not good enough and feel the need to alter our DNA, create 3D printed food, humans with nanotechnology that live for so long, or embed chips into our body to be controlled by a computer, they are over thinking the necessity of it all. They may have good intentions for it, but in actuality it’s an experiment with humanity. In this case, it’s important to remember that we humans did not create ourselves, but a higher being who understands the complexities of our body, mind and emotions; everything that we need and don’t need.

Although, many amazing inventions have blessed our life, there should be a line or stopping point that should not be crossed. A line where a breach of our own ethics, morale and dignity would be compromised; a line, that if crossed, can cause chaos, depression, a break-down of society, depopulation and diminish our own understanding of humanity.

It’s important to understanding our Creator and our purpose for creation. To trust that God already gave us what we need and has created nature around us to live, eat, have shelter, and build relationships with others, it would bring insight and understanding; to know where that line should be drawn. If we know what we need and what will harm us, we should know where to stop or what areas to keep technology out of our lives or from further advancing.
