“And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.”
–Matthew 24:3-4
LIVING IN CONSTANT DECEPTION
The end times are certainly a time of great deception and perhaps nowhere is more deceived than the country-formerly-known-as-the-United-States-of-Amerca.
In fact, America is ground zero for worldwide deception.
There a few reasons for this.
1- Americans wrote the book on modern deception. Literally.
Propaganda, a 1928 book by Edward Bernays (the father of propaganda) is basically the playbook on modern deception–even though it is shot through with the usual deceptive language to confuse those not in the inner circle.
2- American propaganda is VERY organized. No other country on the face of the earth surrounds its people in such a cocoon of deceit as the good old USA.
It’s in the reading material.
It’s on TV.
It’s on the radio.
It’s on smartphones–invented so that American minds would always be connected to the repetitions so vital to the success of propaganda.
It’s on food labels; heard in casual conversations; and, displayed on T-shirts and tattoos.
Unless one lives in a cave, it’s inescapable.
3- The American public school system spends so much time indoctrinating children, it has almost no time left to teach them anything else.
In case the reader wondered why today’s children know so much less (and are so less prepared) than previous generations.
American parents have been convinced that because their little Junebug knows how to use a computer and a cellphone (both delivery systems of propaganda and indoctrination), their child is surely special beyond words.
America uses public education and the constant repetition of the messages in advertising, music and entertainment to spread its propaganda. By the time Americans leave high school, they are fully prepared to spend the rest of their lives taking in lies and more lies and believing the great majority of them.
And if they become aware of the lies?
They are given another set of lies to soothe themselves.
4- Americans have been convinced–using the very tools of deception (mass education and propaganda)–that they are too clever and smart to fall for propaganda.
By constantly referring to clumsy attempts (usually by the Nazis and/or Soviets), Americans have been indoctrinated into believing that propaganda is something very easily detected.
IF ONLY Americans would consider that ALL advertising is propaganda. ALL political reporting (as well as most national “news“) is propaganda. Over half of the school time in American schools is devoted to propaganda. Johnny may not be able to read, but he sure does know which country is the freest, most wonderful place on the face of the earth–ever!
Satan is a tricky fellow.
And so, the vast majority of reader reading this will promptly forget its message as soon as the last line is read.
There are none so blind as those who will not see.
“And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.”
–Isaiah 6:9
“They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand.”
–Isaiah 44:18
Living in a land of deception, Americans are surrounded by deception at every turn.
Does the reader wish to know the truth?
OR has he been blinded by the constant barrage of deception, propaganda and lie?

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. 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
