“They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.”
–Titus 1:16
The fake and fraudulent ‘Christian‘ is seemingly everywhere in the last days. The Bible warns of such men.
“For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.”
–2Corinthians 11:13-15
What is fake IS what is expected by most people because they know no better.
Because the churches are so full of such folk, the counterfeit has become normalized. Because the tares move so easily among others of their kind and the lost, they assume no one sees them.
“Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?”
–Isaiah 29:15
IF ONLY the counterfeits knew: they give themselves away in any of dozens of ways. Oh, some are more clever than others, but all are brutally exposed by the Holy Spirit.
Men and their spirits can fool men, but they cannot fool the Spirit of Truth. Because they are of the world, their speech reeks of the world.
One of the ways to tell a counterfeit is their promotion of antichrist ideas, like Dominion Theology.
A second way to tell the pretenders is their promotion of unbiblical doctrines which are NOT in the Bible, but which is are features of the satanic churches of the dragon.
A great end times revival before Jesus returns is one of these fables.
A constant bleating for end times ‘unity‘ is another hallmark. Both of these (end times revival and unity) are characteristics of the whore church of the dragon.
Another way to identify phonies is their refusal to preach the gospel while offering other gospels which look and sound very similar. This is to be expected: God’s enemies will not help spread the power of God.
Still another way to tell the counterfeits is their promotion of various fake and fraudulent experiences, doctrines and/or rituals, as well as their reliance on lying spirits of deception.
A FAKE AND FRAUDULENT EXPERIENCE
Many American church-goers hunger for an experience; hunger for a “move of God.” Churches have become arenas for showcasing the latest experiences. The Word of God has become boring to these people–though most would never admit it publicly.
To admit it is to admit what they do operates from a spirit of antichrist.
They claim to seek the Holy Spirit, which is already present in each believer. What they get acquainted with is seducing, deceptive spirits. It’s all about the EXPERIENCE; all about the emotion; all about the “move of the spirit.” Humans love excitement and these spirits offer goosebumps.
The churches are selling an antichrist experience to the lost because neither knows the truth. Meanwhile, the churches refuse to preach the gospel but offer very clever-looking but powerless counterfeits.
And all of this is exactly as God’s Word declares it will be.
“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof”
–2Timothy 3:1,5
To be honest: there are days when the dishonesty of the tares is annoying.
Still, believers do not wrestle against flesh and blood.
And believers are commanded to try and save the counterfeits before it’s too late for them.
“And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire”
–Jude: 1:22-23
Pray for the lost.
But most of all: pray for those who pretend to be something they clearly are not.
The time of the tares is almost upon us. Pray that they escape from what they deceptively believe to be safety before the door of their doom slams shut for eternity.
“They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.”
–1John 4:5-6
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:”

“For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.”
–1Samuel 15:23
A Narrative of Control
There is no more docile and easily-controlled creature than the man who believes himself to be “wild” and “untamed.”
He is closely related to the self-styled “rebel,” which is also a highly-domesticated breed. A ring through the nose of a rebel is as common a sight as rebels who believe they are “free.”
Both are among the most herdable of all creatures on earth. The controller will encourage this behavior in those he seeks to manipulate.
The female of this species is even more easily controlled.
The end times is full of rebels. Beware the man who praises another for his rebelliousness.
Beware the man who urges other men to fight their rebellions. The appropriate response to such agents provocateur is “You first.”
Beware those who stir rebellion: none have pure intentions, no matter what they might say.
The key to controlling someone is to first have them self-limit their own options.
“An evil man seeketh only rebellion: therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.”
–Proverbs 17:11
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

“I’m anticipating we’ll be doing a victory dance,” said Cox, 47, a chainsaw artist and founder of Bikers for Trump, thousands of whom he estimates will hit the Ohio city for the July 18-21 Republican National Convention.

“Nice little convention you have here. Be a real shame if something was to happen to it. Do you know what I mean?”
Oh yeah: Trump brownshirts with chrome exhausts will get the second half of 2016 in the USA rocking and rolling!

THE ANTICHRIST PRAYER CULTS
But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
–Matthew 6:6
For some time there’s been a move afoot in those pagan temples called the churches to sensationalize very public, very promoted, very advertised prayer.
It’s a sign of the end times: these prayer cults offer their much-publicized spectacles instead of preaching the gospel. It’s just one more not-so-clever substitute gospel.
“But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.”
–Galatians 1:8-9
Led by an outfit called The International House of Prayer (IHOPKC), this movement turns the act of praying from what is supposed to be communication to God into an idol to be glorified and worshiped for the act itself.
Concentrating on the things of this world, IHOPKC is a dominionist fraud. That is: they claim the churches have to conquer the earth before Jesus returns. They also talk about “cleansing” the earth.
Their cleansing involves the true believers of Jesus Christ.
The Bible records a church which does do this very thing in the end times: the church of the dragon (Satan).
One topic on which the prayer cults continuously chatter: a revival about which the Bible is completely silent. The only end times “revival” is the one many of these folks are really looking for: a dark revival of Satan.
One way for readers to tell the counterfeits pretending to be Christians: the workers of iniquity CONSTANTLY preach of a great end times spiritual ‘revival.’
Turning prayer into a public, around-the-clock telethon-like event, IHOP has spread its antichrist tentacles across the country. Many of the previously-pagan temples are now IHOP affiliates, either openly or secretly.
In the end times, the whole earth will worship Satan. The prayer cults are just one more brick in that particular wall.
“Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness. Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.”

“Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh: For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty”
–Proverbs 23:20-21
Gluttony is not eating to appease hunger. Gluttony is over-eating and eating for eating sake; for pleasure.
Pill to switch off hunger possible – So what? Many people eat for a lot of reasons besides hunger. In America, hunger is the least of these reasons.
“(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)”
–Philippians 3:18-19
Some of the reasons people eat in America besides hunger:
Boredom
Because it’s free
Socializing
As a coping mechanism
Routine/Habit
Tastes good
Herd mentality
To celebrate
To please others
“And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting [over-eating], and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.”

The “Prize Inside” will no longer actually be inside the box, Frito-Lay has announced. Like so many other aspects of our lives, the prize will be digitized.
“How can the reader know when the Corporate Media is lying to him (never mind the fact that the media is Satan’s Mouthpiece and Satan is the father of lies)? One easy way to tell is the use of “Why” and “How” in the headlines of an article. When the reader sees “Why?” or “How?” in the headline–occasionally “What” is used–that which follows will be a fairy tale, a narrative, a bedtime story spun by the media for the benefit of the media’s master. “Why” usually denotes an on-going narrative; “How” signifies a story line which explains past events. Not all narratives begin with “How” or “Why.” However, the most in-your-face, over-the-top ones usually do. ALL political “news” is narrative.
That fateful day, he bought Issue 51 of Marvel Team-Up, in which Dr. Strange boasts to Spider-Man and Iron Man, “I myself have surgically rejoined severed neurolinkages…. The nerve endings have been fused, the healing process begun.” This marked Canavero’s first encounter with the idea of spinal cord fusion. And he wanted more.
Dr. Strange is a piece of occult comic book propaganda aimed at the youth. There is much about Dr. Strange which contradicts the Bible.
“And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die”
–Genesis 3:4
The media tells the same lie the serpent told Eve in the garden of Eden: “You will not die; you will be immortal.”
The media tells this lie (and its variations) every week. It repeats this lie because it’s effective. People believe it.
“For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.”
—2 Peter 1:16
Increasingly, there’s been an effort to put a scientific face on all of these cunningly devised fables by those who work to deceive the masses.
There are several variations of the “NEVER DIE LIE.” One variation is someone will raise you from the dead (usually a TV preacher or some church using prayer).
Another tale is your mind will be uploaded to a computer and stored. Then, your body will be cloned and your mind loaded into a new body: voila! You’re good for another 80-100 years.
Another is that your body can be frozen and then reanimated at some future time. Another: a pill or a process has been developed which will neutralize aging. You might be 45 years-old, but you’ll live forever at that age.
Still another variation of the lie: People travel to heaven and get sent back with great, gushing good stories of what it’s like–IF one buys their books and DVDs.
Here’s some examples of that lie told over the past 7-10 days.
“But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.”

Some thoughts about both propaganda and mass indoctrination from both the Bible and antichrist, worldly sources.
PUBLIC MASS INDOCTRINATION
“And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.”
–Matthew 24:4
“Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind”
–1Peter 1:13
The silent antichrist mass indoctrination of minds is a fact of modern life. Propaganda and satanic ideas are poured into people using a number of ways modern man has been taught are benign: radio, music, TV, movies, public education, smartphones, computers, media.
As the world gets closer to the climax of human history, the propaganda barrage gets heavier and the propaganda messages become more crude. Jesus declared that the world in the end times would be surrounded by heavy deception.
One of the great deceptions is that modern man is too smart or too clever to be indoctrinated without his knowledge.
Therefore, a few thoughts on the subject from both the Bible and from the antichrist, worldly forces working for the dragon (Satan).
“that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world:”
–Revelation 12:9
“In the course of the last forty years the techniques for exploiting man’s urge toward this most dangerous form of downward self-transcendence have reached a pitch of perfection unmatched in all of history. To begin with, there are more people to the square mile than ever before, and the means of transporting vast herds of them from considerable distances, and of concentrating them in a single building or arena, are much more efficient than in the past.
Meanwhile, new and previously undreamed-of devices for exciting mobs have been invented. There is the radio, which has enormously extended the range of the demagogue’s raucous yelling. There is the loudspeaker, amplifying and indefinitely reduplicating the heady music of class- hatred and militant nationalism. There is the camera (of which it was once naively said that “it cannot lie”) and its offspring, the movies and television; these three have made the objectification of tendentious phantasy absurdly easy. And finally there is that greatest of our social inventions, free, compulsory education.
Everyone now knows how to read and everyone consequently is at the mercy of the propagandists, governmental or commercial, who own the pulp factories, the linotype machines and the rotary presses.
Assemble a mob of men and women previously conditioned by a daily reading of newspapers; treat them to amplified band music, bright lights…and in next to no time you can reduce them to a state of almost mindless subhumanity.
Never before have so few been in a position to make fools, maniacs, or criminals of so many.”
–Aldous Huxley, The Devils of Loudon, 1953
At the end of the day, the preceding leaves out the most important component of mass public indoctrination (though it hints at it): demonic power.
Certain techniques, which today have had a veneer of scientific gobbledygook applied, have been known for centuries by a select few. These techniques have been routinely used upon the masses throughout history, but have risen to prominence especially in the last sixty years.
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
–Ephesians 6:12
The battle has intensified and will continue to do so.
Though many believe themselves engaged in this battle, through deception, they aren’t even aware they are basically unarmed and at the mercy of those they protest against.
CRUDE PROPAGANDA
“Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:”
–Colossians 3:9-10
In times of war, or in the times leading up to war, propaganda becomes cruder: the better to sway the maximum amount of public opinion in the shortest amount of time.
There were similar stories during the “Arab Spring” when propaganda pieces about Muslim Brotherhood members (barely better than brutal animals!) raping a western journalist because of her “provocative Western clothing” were featured in the American and world press.
We also saw crude propaganda in the lead-up to the First Iraqi War. Tales of Iraqi soldiers ripping newborns out of their incubators and throwing them to their death was featured at one Washington DC televised hearing. The testimony was later proved to be false–but the propaganda had already done its job, inflaming the American citizenry against the barbaric Iraqis.
The linked story, headlined by the Sunday Daily Mail, is very crude propaganda–-and therefore, not nearly as effective as a more subtle story. However, in the dumbed-down world in which we live, crude propaganda seems to be the wave of the future.
“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind,”
–Romans 12:2
Has the reader been successfully indoctrinated?
Does the reader have a love of the truth?
Does the reader even know where the truth may be found?
Is the reader ready for the climax of human history?
“But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.”

For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
“The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.”
–Ecclesiastes 1:9
“And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.”
–Luke 17:26
PART THREE
“The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be”
Jesus talked about the times before He returned being like the days of Noe (Noah). He spoke of men so completely comfortable with sin, many did not even consider what they were doing to be wrong.
Specifically, he spoke of men in the end times being completely surprised by their sudden destruction (just as in the days before the flood).
He also spoke of people living their lives, both in the days before the flood and in the days before He returned.
“For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark”
–Matthew 24:37
By comparing what the Bible says about the days before the flood, we can also see what the days before Jesus returns will be like. Likewise, by comparing what the Bible declares about the end times, we can see what the times before the flood were like.
God’s Word has much more to say about the end times than the time before the flood.
It will be a very wicked time before Jesus returns.
“And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.”
–Genesis 6:5
The time before Jesus returns will be wicked indeed. Descriptions of what that wicked time will look like abound throughout the New Testament, particularly in Revelation.
It is a time of earthly-mindedness and carnal pleasures before Jesus returns.
“The earth also was corrupt before God…And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.”
–Genesis 6:11-12
In the time before Jesus returns, men will be totally consumed by affairs of the flesh and the activities and things of this world.
“They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;”
–Luke 17:27-28
Eating, drinking, buying, selling, going to weddings: living their lives. People will be so caught up in the distractions of day-to-day living, they will forget all about Jesus.
Until He returns.
Though they have been warned for the last 3500 years, men will be completely taken by surprise.
It will also be a very violent time before Jesus returns.
“…and the earth was filled with violence.”
–Genesis 6:11
Accounts throughout the New Testament, particularly Revelation, confirm the earth will indeed be filled with violence and death before Jesus returns.
These are a few of what can be deduced of the last days by referring to accounts of the time before the flood.
“The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be”
In the next installment, we’ll look at what can be inferred about the time before the flood by referring to the times before Jesus returns.
“But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.”
—John 20:31
THE GOSPEL
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

A Syrian military source said government planes had not been in areas where air raids were reported. Syria’s army denied reports that the Syrian air force targeted the hospital.
The Russian defense ministry, whose air strikes have swung the war in favor of President Bashar al-Assad, also denied its planes were responsible.

Paul Manafort made a career out of stealthily reinventing the world’s nastiest tyrants as noble defenders of freedom. Getting Donald Trump elected will be a cinch.

The Massachusetts Senate voted overwhelmingly Thursday to raise the minimum age for purchasing cigarettes and other tobacco products across the state, which could make it the second to raise its threshold to 21 years old.
In this short text, Aldous Huxley puts forward the hypothesis that the evils we ascribe to religious intolerance and obscurantism are instead a product of human nature under specific circumstances, namely the existence of a totalitarian manipulative power. That is why, totalitarian political ideologies built on anti-religious bases can easily replicate the worst aspects of monopolistic religion. As a matter of fact, with the introduction of religious tolerance, those intolerant aspects of religious practice have been put almost to rest.
—Devils of Loudon, Appendix
When Aldous Huxley wrote about a societal ill, sooner or later he would get around to trashing Christianity (or its code word “religion“).
This piece is no different.
The evils Huxley ascribes to Christianity are the very ones exalted by the antichrist forces which motivated Huxley throughout his entire life.
In the same vein, “religious tolerance” is no such thing. It is a sham: the use of the state’s lethal force to nurture and protect nascent antichrist cults until they become strong enough to shout down what passes for Christianity on their own.
The short history of the USA is a perfect example.
Regular readers should be aware by now that references to “the divine” are a more socially acceptable way to say to “the demonic.”
Pay close attention to the description given of “herd intoxication.” Can the reader identify the symptoms of this condition as matching any other? It’s almost as if the individuals in such crowds almost “possessed.”
Like most modern writers, Huxley had many ways to disguise that which is associated with the demonic.
All that being said, the following excerpt IS interesting and informative because the author pulled all of these various themes together, including the “herd intoxication,” all in four or five paragraphs.
“Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” In the midst of two or three hundred, the divine presence becomes more problematical. And when the numbers run into the thousands, or tens of thousands, the likelihood of God being there, in the consciousness of each individual, declines almost to the vanishing point. For such is the nature of an excited crowd (and every crowd is automatically self-exciting) that, where two or three thousand are gathered together, there is an absence not merely of deity, but even of common humanity.
The fact of being one of a multitude delivers a man from his consciousness of being an insulated self and carries him down into a less than personal realm, where there are no responsibilities, no right or wrong, no need for thought or judgment or discrimination —only a strong vague sense of togetherness, only a shared excitement, a collective alienation. And the alienation is at once more prolonged and less exhausting than that induced by debauchery; the morning after less depressing than that which follows self-poisoning by alcohol or morphine. Moreover, the crowd-delirium can be indulged in, not merely without a bad conscience, but actually, in many cases, with a positive glow of conscious virtue.
For, so far from condemning the practice of downward self-transcendence through herd-intoxication, the leaders of church and state have actively encouraged the practice whenever it could be used for the furtherance of their own ends. Individually and in the co-ordinated and purposive groups which constitute a healthy society, men and women display a certain capacity for rational thought and free choice in the light of ethical principles. Herded into mobs, the same men and women behave as though they possessed neither reason nor free will. Crowd-intoxication reduces them to a condition of infrapersonal and antisocial irresponsibility. Drugged by the mysterious poison which every excited herd secretes, they fall into a state of heightened suggestibility, resembling that which follows an injection of sodium amytal or the induction, by whatever means, of a light hypnotic trance. While in this state they will believe any nonsense that may be bawled at them, will act upon any command or exhortation, however senseless, mad or criminal. To men and women under the influence of herd-poison, “whatever I say three times is true”—and whatever I say three hundred times is Revelation, is the directly inspired Word of God. That is why men in authority—the priests and the rulers of peoples—have never unequivocally proclaimed the immorality of this form of downward self-transcendence.
True, crowd-delirium evoked by members of the opposition and in the name of heretical principles has everywhere been denounced by those in power. But crowd- delirium aroused by government agents, crowd-delirium in the name of orthodoxy, is an entirely different matter. In all cases where it can be made to serve the interests of the men controlling church and state, downward self-transcendence by means of herd-intoxication is treated as something legitimate, and even highly desirable. Pilgrimages and political rallies, corybantic revivals and patriotic parades—these things are ethically right so long as they are our pilgrimages, our rallies, our revivals and our parades. The fact that most of those who take part in these affairs are temporarily dehumanized by herd-poison is of no account in comparison with the fact that their dehumanization may be used to consolidate the religious and political powers that be.
When crowd-delirium is exploited for the benefit of governments and orthodox churches, the exploiters are always very careful not to allow the intoxication to go too far. The ruling minorities make use of their subjects’ craving for downward self-transcendence in order, first, to amuse and distract them and, second, to get them into a subpersonal state of heightened suggestibility. Religious and political ceremonials are welcomed by the masses as opportunities for getting drunk on herd-poison, and by their rulers as opportunities for planting suggestions in minds which have momentarily ceased to be capable of reason or free will.”
“Planting suggestions in minds which have momentarily ceased to be capable of reason” is always uppermost in the minds of those in the mystery of iniquity.
“Paid time off for pets should not be a thing. Here is how that discussion should go: “Excuse me, boss, I want to get a new dog, but I will need a week off to bond with the animal.” And your boss goes, “Oh, OK, cool. You’re fired.”
–James Corden
Jackson recognized that paper money was theft. Paper money, personal freedom and privacy are incompatible. Paper money centralizes power to the state and diminishes the individual.
Biblical Israel vs Secular Israel: Are they the Same? – Many Christians still confuse the very, very secular state of Israel–created by man, not God–-with the Israel of the Bible. Satan reads the Bible, too and knows very well how to create decoys. All that being said, believers are commanded to pray for the peace of Jerusalem–which will take place when Jesus returns.
“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.”
—Psalm 122:6
Every Corporate Media piece reinforces the lies told in other Corporate Media pieces. In this way, the deception is interlocking, deep and wide. In this article, the lie that questions concerning Obama’s obvious lack of a paper trail is labeled a “falsehood.” This despite the fact that said lack has been actually highlighted by the media.
And at some point, the Corporate Media WILL expose all of the points about which it has spent the last eight years ridiculing others. But in the interim, the ridicule by those tools who have no other weapons in their arsenal continues.
The Corporate Media is one of Satan’s priesthoods.
“Former presidential candidates Martin O’Malley and Mike Huckabee might actually be starting a bipartisan band together. The band has a great way to make money: Their concerts are free, but earplugs cost $200.”

“How can the reader know when the Corporate Media is lying to him (never mind the fact that the media is Satan’s Mouthpiece and Satan is the father of lies)? One easy way to tell is the use of “Why” and “How” in the headlines of an article. When the reader sees “Why?” or “How?” in the headline–occasionally “What” is used–that which follows will be a fairy tale, a narrative, a bedtime story spun by the media for the benefit of the media’s master. “Why” usually denotes an on-going narrative; “How” signifies a story line which explains past events. Not all narratives begin with “How” or “Why.” However, the most in-your-face, over-the-top ones usually do. ALL political “news” is narrative.
