“Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.” Nietzsche's
Nietzsche was only half right. Whether you stare into the abyss or not, the abyss is always staring into you. The abyss is always there, always waiting.
Frank Herbert’s epic novel series begun with the novel “Dune”. In it’s opening passages Paul Atreides was subjected to the Bene Gesserit’s human awareness test, known as the Gom Jabbar. The idea behind the Gom Jabbar is, that a human has the self awareness to understand the difference between excruciating agony and certain death. And that that awareness is what makes the difference between animals and sentience.
Frank Herbert did not create this idea out of whole cloth. It came out of his knowledge of his religion, Judaism. It’s a theme that is repeated over and over throughout Judaism. Though, never expressed as Frank Herbert did in “Dune”. The theme, as repeated throughout the Judaic scriptures, is that to be holy and righteous before God, an individual must master their impulses.
Every human has animal like instincts and impulses, pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony and sloth. They are usually referred to as the seven deadly sins. They are impulses to be ruthlessly and utterly suppressed. As expressed by Paul Atreides keeping his hand inside the box of pain during the Gom Jabbar test. While his hand is in the box of pain the Gom Jabbar is against his neck, if he removes his hand from the box he will die, while his hand is in the box it feels as though it is being burned by chemicals and the pain is incredible.
The whole test is about self control, the very essence of the Judaic concept of righteousness before God.
Right now in America, American’s are being subjected to one of Marxism’s advanced tactics. It’s a tactic of subjugation and domination. The tactic is to force the general population to acknowledge as truth, things that they know are lies. When you acknowledge these lies as truth, you are displaying your submission to the Marxist powers that be. You are admitting that you have surrendered.
Men can be women, humans can change biology, masks protect you from viruses. Day is night, up is down, good is evil and evil is good.
The trans movement, the Woke movement, Gun violence, Racism, these are all Marxist tactics designed to break the American people of their heritage, traditions, religion and principals. The destruction of the economy is designed to destroy the middle class and make them dependent on the government.
All of this is designed to usher in the great Marxist Utopia that Karl Marx’s disciples have been waiting and planning for, for over 100 years.
In July, the federal government is planning on implementing a Central Bank Digital Currency. It’s called, FedNow. It’s the camel’s nose under the tent. It’s being done without the approval of the American people. Dictate by government powers that have little or no accountability to the American people.
CBDC are as antithetical to freedom and liberty as anything can be. They strip away every right an individual has and makes them a slave to whatever whim or desire those in the government might decide to impose on those subjected to the CBDC might choose.
CBCD’s carry with them the government’s ability to dictate to the population what they may and may not purchase, where they may and may not go and what they will and will not believe. If you do not comply, your money will be terminated. You will be unable to feed yourself or your family, you will be unable to go anywhere, you will have no energy. It’s the ultimate method of extortion. You will surrender or you will die.
Most America’s are unaware of what is happening. They know that the Biden Administration is crippling the economy, most assume it’s through incompetence, or worse, through simple greed and corruption.
Those who are aware are fighting against what is happening as hard as they can. They are being dragged kicking and screaming against their will.
The Marxists have gained a significant foothold within the United States Federal Government. But it is not an insurmountable foothold. They will be difficult to dislodge, but not impossible.
Those fighting against the Marxist overthrow of the United States have been making slow and steady progress. Progress that has only been possible because the Marxists no long are able to hide in the shadows. Progress that in order to continue, must be predicated upon the American people becoming aware of the Marxist machinations.
If you believe that the Constitutional Republic of America is worth saving, then you must engage in the fight to preserve that Constitutional Republic. You must take the fight to the ground level. All politics are local politics. If you wish to save this republic, you must take action at the local level and swim upstream.
School boards, City Councils, Judges, Mayor’s, Governors, even Dog Catchers and Sheriffs. Whatever elected positions exist, you must contest, you must fight. But this alone simply isn’t enough. You must also take back America’s fundamental institutions. Churches, Banks, Businesses.
Every aspect of our culture must be retaken. American’s have surrendered most of those fundamental institutions not on purpose, but because they have been busy. Busy taking care of their families, building futures for their children and their families. American’s have gone to work to build a better America, and while they were working, they trusted people who pretended to have their best interests at heart, but in reality had an agenda of their own to advance. American’s basically have been asleep in the light, unaware of what those hiding in the shadows were doing.
For America to preserve our Constitutional Republic, we must awaken from our somnolence. We must come together and reassert our foundational principals. Marxism has no place in a nation predicated upon freedom and liberty. It has no place in a Constitutional Republic.
There is a meme that has been circulating throughout the various social media sites. It’s a picture of President Trump sitting on a chair in a mostly darkened room, it says, “They are not coming after me, they are coming after you, I’m just in their way”.
I do not place much faith in mere mortal men, I already have a Savior, I do not need another. I do not know if Donald Trump is genuinely attempting to save America, or is the Biblical Antichrist.
Will I vote for him in 2024, yes. But my support of Donald Trump is not fanatical, it’s 100 percent predicated upon him supporting and defending the United States Constitution.
Totally agree with the last two paragraphs.
Great writeup and completely agree. God bless!
