Time Text
We all sense it.
To varying degrees, perhaps, depending on our own personal context picture and the power of our intuition. - Thank you.
But we all sense it.
We live in a rapidly crumbling world.
It's not just the increasingly dirty and unsafe streets, teeming with increasingly desperate people, with needles and human waste, homeless encampments and newly overdosed bodies, or our storefronts, which now lock up even basic necessities, or simply allow certain types of individuals to walk in, fill a bag with stolen goods, and casually walk out without issue, as if routine.
It's not just the increased crime rates, the plummeting living standards, the lack of societal cohesion.
All of these things, and so much more, are merely symptoms of a disease that goes much deeper.
Our great strides in technological development and the endless supply of new and novel entertainments and superficial comforts serve only to mask this more fundamental decline.
A bit like a sloppy fresh coat of paint atop now hopelessly termite-ridden walls.
The illusion of progress, while we so clearly head in the wrong direction, across nearly every last one of the most meaningful metrics.
Life expectancy is now dropping, along with testosterone and fertility rates.
We're now being biologically reshaped.
Man is becoming less man.
Woman is becoming less woman.
IQ is dropping.
Literacy has plummeted.
And college students, who even just a few decades ago more or less represented an exceptional subset tasked with carrying the future world on their shoulders, now often struggle with basic math.
The most rudimentary understanding of history, and increasingly, see all the world through the lens of demented, disoriented, often even predatory professors.
Incompetence now runs rampant, even through professions which were once almost wholly immune to this internal rot.
Doctors, surgeons, air traffic controllers, and pilots.
And our economy and financial system is now locked in a parasitic stranglehold by men like Rothschild, Soros, Schwab, Fink, and 100 similar variants in the same cultural subset who fly just below the radar.
Those confused, or dishonest, or duplicitous enough to defend this system tell us things aren't so bad.
Look at this chart.
Per capita GDP is up.
Meanwhile, as lower and middle class families sincerely question how they're going to pay the next grocery bill, or keep the lights on, or a roof over their heads.
The quote, American dream, in which one might hope to own their own home, with one parent working, But one staying home to properly raise and nurture the children is long since dead for the overwhelming majority.
And as one of the many results, we're witnessing not just an explosion in the number of homeless, but also the pace at which they're ending their lives, especially white males, due to sheer hopelessness.
We take our children, just as they open their eyes for the first time, in innocent awe and wonder, and take that first breath, and we immediately proceed to inject them with an average of twenty different concoctions.
And we now experience such record rates of autism and similar maladies.
But it's fair to say it's fundamentally reshaping us as a species, and practically becoming the new norm.
These same children, increasingly lost and confused, are now surrounded by propaganda encouraging them to question their biological gender.
And an increasing number of these, often desperate to find somewhere to belong and fit in, are now being convinced to join this new club and irrevocably mangle their bodies.
And schools and schooling staff can now help push them down these paths without even informing their parents.
Parents who can now be jailed in some states if they attempt to intervene to save their children from this path.
One could go on for an hour like this, but the majority of you likely already know the score.
Please understand this.
No one is coming to save us.
And even on the off chance this isn't true, we must start to operate as if it definitively is.
With our structures and institutions now so thoroughly compromised, a national debt that literally cannot be paid off, trillions of taxpayer dollars routinely just going missing, With little to no outcry and absolutely no consequences or serious follow-up.
And tens of billions regularly sent, like clockwork, to some of the worst and most corrupt foreign nations and leaders in the world.
Anyone failing to recognize the dire situation we now face is either foolish or ignorant.
A small percentage of the population still flips on a Fox News or MSNBC to watch serious-looking people in suits speak in a stilted and formal way on this or that minor issue of the day, presumably trying their damnedest to maintain this illusion of a working political system.
A functioning economic system, and the idea that any of these things are real, or might be positively affected by votes, or the latest hyped political candidates.
But most of us know better.
And soon, even this small percentage will have their illusions shattered, one way or another.
As a result, we tend to flee into a myriad of powerful addictions, as escapes, to avoid fully confronting these realities.
Some hit the bottle.
Others, fentanyl and hard drugs.
Others lose themselves completely in video games, or televised sport, or a never-ending pursuit of meaningless sex and empty, purely transactional relationships.
Or throw themselves entirely into their jobs.
And because certain forces have done all in their power to kill off our traditional understanding of God and our Creator, many now elevate these addictions or escapes into the central focus of their lives.
And technology not only exacerbates it all, and serves to stoke and inflame addictions and distractions with algorithmic and data-driven precision, but now possesses the supreme and ever-growing power, due to the unbelievable amount of data we've provided it in recent years, to essentially keep us on this reservation.
With enough data, these new constructs slowly but surely come to know us in many ways better than we know ourselves, and know precisely how to get you to think or act in various ways that most profit the hidden hands ultimately responsible for their design and rule out.
But it's so much worse than a mere profit motive, if only all of this were driven by mere greed and nothing more.
No, there's a legitimately dark force in our world, more visible now than ever.
We can discern its limbs and branches everywhere we look.
Several large and influential companies, as part and parcel of larger conglomerates, will now gladly take a financial loss in exchange for forcing some element of cultural, psychological, or spiritual change.
Because money isn't the ultimate goal, but merely a foremost tool to be used to attain these goals.
And all manners of vice and degeneracy are pushed like never before, as we're now utterly surrounded by ever more attractive and compelling temptation and distraction.
An entire generation of girls is being pushed into selling themselves online, Being coaxed into flippantly tossing away their modesty and femininity for money.
Major platforms like YouTube and TikTok and Twitch not only seem to promote the most mindless and vapid content, but some might argue the most spiritually and psychologically destructive.
And everyone is now forced to churn it out more and more quickly if they care to keep up and be blessed by the algorithm.
Inevitably leading, of course, to quantity dwarfing quality, which almost seems to be the theme of our age.
We're surrounded by more and more, and yet somehow less and less, because it's so often empty, substanceless, and spiritless.
We hop frenetically from the one thing to the next, seeking something real, Yet finding only hints, traces, echoes, mimicry, and poor quality substitutes.
All of this, and more, seemingly, almost consciously and purposely, geared towards a cheapening.
Gradually turning not just our nation and culture into a wasteland, but also people themselves.
Children grow up being taught to chase the dollar as their measure of success in life, naturally responding to incentive structures all around them at every turn that threaten to turn them into the very worst and most hollow sorts of human beings.
And I'd suggest there's no greater weapon in the world than this very cheapening and the inevitably resulting demoralization that comes with it.
When you no longer see anything worth fighting for, when you look around you and see nothing of genuine value to feel strongly about, you've been made powerless, impotent to manifest any significant change because utterly stripped of motive force and inspiration.
Forgive me for outlining such a bleak vision here, but it's a very real one, and I'm not convinced there's any moving forward until we're capable of maturely discerning and speaking to all that's gone awry, and then painting a contrasting vision with the goal of eventually manifesting and becoming that contrasting vision.
I'm consistently drawn to the analogy of popular culture now being comparable to a poisonous IV drip hooked directly into the vein of both the individual and the national body.
Consider your own friends and family for a moment, or broader social circles.
I suggest it's no coincidence that those among them who tend to watch the most Netflix programming, or modern movies, or most heavily embrace sports or celebrity culture, are either completely and totally apathetic, or the most disoriented and lost with regard to politics, ideology, life philosophy, and worldview.
You'll see this everywhere you look, and it's no coincidence.
These inputs and influences are designed to have a scrambling, disorienting, atomizing effect.
The timeless purpose of bread and circuses, but now elevated into an art and a black magic.
A black magic increasingly driven by AI, algorithms, and sprawling and powerful databases in an increasingly efficient and precise manner.
And atop it all, With regard to modern culture and this new world being created.
It's all so cheap, so stupid and small and petty and superficial.
Because it's not just designed to indoctrinate in some mere political or ideological sense, but to disempower and weaken and destroy.
It's as if we're now completely surrounded by bad music.
Try to have a deep or substantive thought, or glimpse the face of God, or hear echoes of his voice, or even simply contemplate the meaning of your life and of existence, when something like Ice Spice is blaring loudly in the background.
For the vast majority of us, of course, this is virtually impossible, and I'd suggest our entire culture is becoming the equivalent of this bad music.
What do you know?
That you're a musician.
That's why I'm interviewing you today, so I can get to know you.
So I'm a musician.
What the fuck that mean?
Make magic or something?
What is musician?
I think that's... I think you're confusing that.
Yeah, I'm not no musician.
I make music.
I make music.
That's not all I do.
I make music.
I act.
I'm a TV star too.
A young mogul.
Just really quick, I think you're confusing... I'm not confusing nothing because you don't know.
You thought that all I was was a magician or whatever the fuck you said.
See, that's what I think you think I said.
I said musician, not magician.
I don't think, baby.
I don't think.
What is that?
That's ghetto.
I don't think.
I know.
But it gets worse.
When one is immersed in such an environment for years, even decades on end, the body and mind begins to adapt and shape and orient itself accordingly.
Higher states of consciousness gradually become inaccessible The deeper senses and sensibilities begin to atrophy, like a calcified pineal gland that's no longer able to fulfill its intended function.
And perhaps the worst part of all is that all of this seems to be intentional, conscious, willful, and purposeful, parts of some larger plan.
For those who have lost sight of God through all of this, you're the furthest thing from alone here.
And it's difficult to blame you.
You need help feeding your babies.
God bless your darling heart.
Then you ought to be helped.
But I'm going to tell you something.
You need to be tithing off that help.
That's your increase.
You need to be tithing that.
Well, dear Lord, Brother Copeland, I'm in poverty now.
I know it.
I'm telling you how to get out.
That's the gospel.
I don't care if you ain't got but two nickels.
Give him the first one.
Oh yeah!
I'm not missing that dedication in Jerusalem.
Without the airplane that we have, that I bought from Tyler Perry, and I didn't pay anywhere.
Tyler's one of the greatest guys.
He made it, he made that airplane so cheap for me, I couldn't help but buy it.
Well my question then, It's not just the megachurches with smooth-talking carnival barkers at the helm and profitable merchandise stands near the entrance, or the recent embrace of LGBTQ by many denominations.
Coupled, of course, with their near-total politicization and their so freely and willingly adapting themselves to the Sodom and Gomorrah elements of our age.
After all, those seeking to subvert institutions on a broad scale would have to aim, first and foremost, at the one with, historically, the most potent shaping and orienting power.
No, it's more than this.
It's not just modern subversion.
There's another layer to this, helping produce the disorientation and disconnect so many of us feel with regard to religion and spiritual belief.
A worthwhile analogy is the game of telephone, in which a message is passed down a line of people, often emerging as something almost completely different at the end of the chain.
Even the most profound and powerful message or idea will inevitably become more and more distorted at each step in this chain.
And this distortion causes it to lose its natural energy, spirit, and vitality.
The type of power capable of speaking to us and moving us at the deepest levels.
Until, finally, all we're left with is fluff.
Superficial garbage, which scarcely bears any relation whatsoever to the genuine article.
This is a topic for another time.
Too big to get into here.
But for what it's worth, I'd ask you to please resist the urge to, as the saying goes, throw out the baby with the bathwater here.
The creator of all is vastly greater than the caricatures painted by both sides, both atheists and many modern church leaders.
In short, it's as if virtually everything pure, everything most beautiful and valuable and powerful, has been incrementally stripped from us, and from life in general, and replaced with a grotesque and hollow caricature of itself, just barely convincing enough to allow this conduit to first capture and ultimately derail our energy, or utterly dissipate and waste it, chaotically channeling it into the void,
I've come to believe, as I think so many now do, that we have a limited time window in which we might find some means to fully shake off these fetters before they become so tight and fully constricting that the prospect of escape becomes virtually impossible.
I strongly believe that as a first step, we must completely break our dependence and reliance upon, as well as our immersion in, the worlds of, those that so hate us, and take every proactive step possible to minimize our intake of their poisons, the physical, mental, and spiritual.
It's never been more important to seek out and find your brothers.
Those who are kin on the deepest levels.
Capable of helping better orient you and uplift you.
And seek to gradually become that someone.
Capable of doing and being this for others.
Many of us speak more and more about parallel institutions, parallel structures and communities, and this is excellent to see.
Yet I still see a handful of people attempting to frame this as if it's merely an escape.
And of course, it is this in part.
But believing this is the point or purpose or sum total of the efforts here is, I'd suggest, a complete misread.
The best way to organize and create a meaningful opposition force to the corrupt subversives in power, and what now appear to be their ultimate goals, is to find some path to stand on our own two feet again.
To firmly plant these feet on friendly soil, and begin to create the world we want to see.
Because relying on others to create it for us, via conventional mechanisms, simply hasn't worked.
And won't.
I can't work at this stage.
When your house is on fire, I'd suggest your first priority should be to find fresh air, if only to quickly gather and organize your thoughts.
Failing to do this bare minimum means you'll be huffing disorienting fumes, and as consequence, not just running the risk of disaster or death, but also operating at nowhere near full capacity in the process.
We are very much huffing disorienting fumes at the moment.
I'd suggest that nearly everyone in our age is broken, crippled, imbalanced, or asymmetrical as we speak.
Yet, we still have the ability to create environments that allow us to shut out the leading causes of these problems and allow us room to build, refine, strengthen, and improve one another.
A return to tribe, to family, seems, objectively, the best possible step in this direction.
Especially considering that, for several of us, many in our own immediate families have fallen so completely under this spell, this degenerating black magic of modernity, that home no longer feels like home.
And this dynamic carries heavy costs in the long term, if no resolution is found.
Our traditional hierarchies of virtue and competence have been so aggressively attacked that they've practically been inverted.
Yet, we have the power to completely undo this.
Yes, on a smaller scale at first, but with room to grow and expand indefinitely.
Creating new structure that allows us to be our own foremost influences and to truly bring our best and brightest to the forefront and fully utilize their abilities would represent the most promising of all steps forward.
We need to find the most viable path to begin authoring our own story again.
It might fairly be said that life ultimately revolves around storytelling.
It's not mere facts or technicalities, but storylines and narratives, themes and archetypes that most shape and orient our understanding of the world, and ourselves, and one another.
The vast majority of our ancestors grew up on stories of genuinely masculine heroism and courage.
Stories of exceptional men who weren't just willing to face exceptional challenges, but who were often healthy and brimming with natural vitality to the degree that they sought them out.
So many of the storylines and narratives shaping and conditioning this upcoming generation are often the polar opposite You may have noticed, the monster is now championed and cheered more often than not.
Frequently morphed into some lovable and misunderstood creature, or perhaps the epitome of cool, contrasted with the stiff, prudish, or pedantic.
Ugliness is pushed to the fore in modern fashion, art, architecture.
Obviously satanic themes dominate the music performances of the pop idols created and churned out by this machine.
Some still seem oblivious to much of this, but those most responsible for orchestrating it certainly aren't.
This isn't organic or coincidental.
It's an attempted re-authoring of our psyche.
The traditions and lineage of our own bards has been obliterated, and our leading storytellers replaced with child predators, enthusiastic liars and manipulators, the spiritually dead or disoriented, and the outright malevolent.
Ask yourself this question.
What do you think the ultimate fruits of this reauthoring might be, should it ever fully triumph?
We are in a difficult position, but by no means an impossible one.
I think the coming months and years will represent a pitched battle between forces with increasingly accurate battle lines drawn between them, as the veil slips and the mask drops away.
It sometimes seems as if our new corrupt storytellers feel as if they've made such progress, so many gains on so many fronts, that they no longer even need this mask.
They've convinced scores of people to not just embrace, but celebrate their destruction and decline.
The great white pill here is this.
Consider the caliber of these people caught in their web relative to the caliber of our own.
Consider the vast chasm between the two when it comes to courage, or motive, or willingness to fight, or wisdom, competence, judgment.
Sheer numbers in itself means very little at the end of the day because the vast majority of people are destined to be inconsequential, non-issues, The equivalent of extras on the stage of life, who everywhere act according to script, or according to the props currently scattered about the stage.
I'd suggest the majority of you drawn to the words you're hearing now are a different sort, and this should be the greatest encouragement.
From the most magnanimous perspective, these NPC-type figures might even be seen as somewhat innocent victims.
Tools and useful idiots of those forces consciously reshaping us.
Still an incredibly net-negative force, but only because they've been obliviously co-opted and puppeted.
It's the foremost authors and architects of this new culture that deserve the blame here.
Those that do their work through proxies, because innately cowardly, and often physically, psychologically, and spiritually ugly, to the degree that they produce red flags in the minds of the healthy, or those with capable intuition.
Deep down, they know.
You can see it written in their faces, hear it in their voices.
They know who they are.
It's you who haven't yet grasped who you are and who you're capable of being.
Many of you listening represent part of the only force left in the world sufficiently awake and cognizant, capable of opposing this false light and these false chosen.
Who are the real chosen by God and nature, the universe itself?
Those who heal, improve, strengthen.
Those with genuine and noble hearts.
Those who, finding chaos and entropy all around them, innately and instinctively do all in their power to establish right order, structure, health, energetic vitality and creation.
Those who seek to cultivate the ground to make it fruitful, to set the stage for meaningful growth.
We are frequently told that the world isn't black and white, and that we shouldn't seek to see it this way.
I'd suggest this is profoundly, even insidiously, wrong.
We all understand what's often meant by this, specifically when it's voiced by the well-meaning.
Resist being overconfident in your judgments.
Give the benefit of the doubt.
Always recognize there are two sides to every story.
Recognize that the person across the aisle is likely facing struggles and fighting battles you can't comprehend.
All of this is good and important, and I think represents things all of us should keep ever-present in mind.
But it seems to be a confusing and conflating of two separate notions.
It's saying, beware not to discern black and white inaccurately.
Beware not to judge hastily or incorrectly.
Beware not to see the splinter in your brother's eye while remaining oblivious to the plank in your own.
Yet it doesn't mean that black and white don't exist conceptually, only that we're prone to discern them poorly, rashly, clumsily, and make mistakes along the way.
None of this changes the fact that black and white do exist, and that their pure archetypal existence renders virtually all other frameworks into somewhat silly, meaningless, flawed, and inconsequential ones, relatively.
Republican and Democrat, or right versus left, and in fact just about all of our political squabbles, can be seen as an energy-dissipating exercise in futility, and a profound waste when we finally recognize this.
Theater, and often layers removed from the real battle.
It's no coincidence that one of the foremost philosophies pushed by modernity is relativism.
This idea that there are no concrete notions of truth, or beauty, or health, or anything else for that matter.
That all is purely and completely a matter of personal perspective.
That there is no black and white, only grey.
If we return for a moment to that all-important question that has long underscored our most efficient justice systems in the Western world, especially the Roman, beautiful in its straightforward simplicity and capable of effortlessly cutting through layers of sophistry and illusion, and ask ourselves, cui bono?
Or, who gains?
Who most benefits from this idea that there is no black and white to be found in our world?
What do you think the answer is?
Might it be this blackness and darkness itself?
Might it be that the moment it's clearly discerned, recognized for what it is, it immediately and naturally becomes stripped of its power and checked to the degree that it's no longer the leading orienting force in our world?
I'd suggest virtually all of the battles we see being waged around us are connected, and that this struggle is much larger than the merely political, or national, or even philosophical and ideological.
For what it's worth, consider making your central orienting force the highest and best you're able to envision and conceive of.
Rediscover your strength.
Seek out your inner wellspring.
In a few moments, this communication will end.
The images, music, and voice used to convey this message will fall silent, and you'll return to your daily life and your routines.
And, likely, return to being absolutely bombarded with an endless series of poisons and temptations meant to distract, derail, degrade, and disorient.
I'd ask you to please keep in mind that there's now an unprecedented amount of pain and completely needless and unnecessary suffering in this world.
Much of it even occurring right this second as I speak these words, whether we choose to recognize it or not.
But at the same time, that there's an immense amount of life-affirming joy and happiness scattered alongside it.
Most of all, recognize that you and we are not the least bit powerless in our abilities to help recalibrate this balance.
Life doesn't need to be this hard.
Seek to be an ordering and net positive force.
And please consider seeking out your brothers aiming to be the same.
Find your tribe.
God is with us, to the degree that we're with Him.
Consider consciously seeking out that inner wellspring and walking this path.
