The reader is most likely able to guess why from the linked article below–all published over approximately the last two weeks. There were dozens more from which to pick.
There will be no air conditioning–unless one is an elite.
Propaganda depends upon repetition to be effective. From the list of linked articles, one can know that the campaign against AC is a propaganda campaign.
Is the reader comfortable in his air conditioned surroundings? Perhaps it would be wise not to get too comfortable.
What if it were to end soon?
Would the reader be able to cope with a totally new environment?
“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
“But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:”
—2 Corinthians 4:3
One of the biggest lies being told–and one that is ensnaring untold numbers of young people–is that you “have to live your best life now” or that “you have to live for the future.”
Either you believe these are the end times and you prepare accordingly–or you don’t and you live your life as you wish you could if these weren’t the last days.
There is a very strong normalcy bias in human beings. This is defined as a “mental state people enter when facing a disaster. It causes people to underestimate both the possibility of a disaster occurring and its possible effects. This often results in situations where people fail to adequately prepare for a disaster, and on a larger scale, the failure of governments to include the populace in its disaster preparations.”
Another way of saying “normalcy bias” is “spiritual deception.”
This is a dilemma for young church-goers. They see what is happening around them. They know what they’ve been told as far as what is coming upon the earth.
YET, they want to live a “normal” life. The desire for normalcy is very strong.
So they continue to make decisions based on the past–not on the present or the future.
The radio station still plays when they start the car.
Their cellphone still tells them about the weather.
They have to go to class or work or to meet so-and-so or… Life seems to be like it has always been.
“Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.”
–2Peter 3:3-4
So they think: “I’ll just live for myself for awhile. I can make it up later. I’ve got plenty of time.”
Sadly, this is the wide path.
And many begin their journey to eternal destruction in just this very way.
“Enter ye in at the strait [narrow] gate…Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”
–Matthew 7:13-14
Does the reader know which path he is now on?
Does the reader wish to change paths?
It is growing late–but it is not yet too late to change directions (repent) and call upon the name of the LORD.
“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.

“Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.” –Ezekiel 16:49
“A man’s pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.”
–Proverbs 29:23
A PROMISE: THE PROUD SHALL BE HUMBLED
Much has been written in these parts about the United States of America and its enduring love affair with the SIN of PRIDE.
HOWEVER, not a lot of emphasis has been placed on what God declares He will do to the proud.
This includes proud people and the countries in which they dwell. This particularly pertains to those countries who promote their SIN–especially the SIN of PRIDE.
“No one who has a haughty look and an arrogant heart will I endure.”
–Psalm 101:5
“For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased”
–Luke 14:11
“Before destruction the heart of man is haughty”
–Proverbs 18:12
“for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.”
–1Peter 5:5
“The LORD will tear down the house of the proud”
–Proverbs 15:25
“for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.”
–Luke 18:14
“For the LORD of hosts will have a day of reckoning Against everyone who is proud and lofty And against everyone who is lifted up, That he may be abased.”
–Isaiah 2:12
“The arrogant one will stumble and fall With no one to raise him up; And I will set fire to his cities And it will devour all his environs.”
–Jeremiah 50:32
There are more, but this is a representative sample of what God’s Word has to say about God humbling the proud.
It is a promise: the proud SHALL be humbled.
The haughty and arrogant SHALL fall.
It will happen: ALL who are proud SHALL be brought low.
God is not mocked.
“Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.”
–Proverbs 16:18
Is the reader proud?
Is the reader proud of his pride?
It is growing late–but it is not yet too late to change directions (repent).

“What I would like him to do is let everyone get the benefit of his leadership. He scores very well in strong leader, and that’s what so many Americans are starving for,” Conway told CNN’s Alisyn Camerota during a lengthy two-part interview on “New Day.”
“Hopefully,” said John Cogan, a Hoover economist who wrote the Blueprint chapter on entitlements, “these ideas will be picked up by some enterprising politician.”
Sen. Bernie Sanders almost giddily hit Hillary Clinton over being on Wall Street’s take for her paid speeches during the primary, but yet he never filed a personal financial disclosure form of his own.
“The whole idea of our government is this: If enough people get together and act in concert, they can take something and not pay for it.”

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 the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”
-—1 Corinthians 1:18-19
Brazilian police stopped two U.S. Olympic swimmers from boarding a flight home on Wednesday to question them about how they and two team mates were robbed at gunpoint in Rio de Janeiro at the weekend, after a judge raised doubts over their accounts.
Brazilian authorities have confirmed that Ryan Lochte lied about being robbed at gunpoint early Sunday morning, and that it was the Olympian who may have committed crime. In a dramatic press conference, Police Inspector Alexandre Braga said Ryan Lochte, Jimmy Feigen, Gunnar Bentz and Jack Conger were not robbed and were not the victims of a crime at a gas station in Barra da Tijuca shortly after 6am on Sunday. The men were seen on video camera urinating on a wall and then causing destruction and vandalism to the bathroom at the establishment. There was then a clash between the group and employees, which Bentz or Conger told authorities on Thursday was led by a ‘highly intoxicated’ Lochte.The men were with two women whose identities are unknown and police believe this may have been their motive in hiding what happened since they could have girlfriends.The men could face charges for lying to police and destroying property and the FBI has said they are willing to help Brazilian law enforcement.
The linked article is a NARRATIVE (a story which attempts to establish the history and order of the the events which happened).
Narrative: A narrative or story is any report of connected events, real or imaginary, presented in a sequence of written or spoken words, and/or still or moving images.
How Do Thoughts Form? – Many thoughts that form originate from somewhere other than our minds.
“Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;”
—2 Corinthians 10:5
Ever wonder where those thoughts come from?
Some are formed while the reader is busy doing something else and before one knows it–he’s being tormented by one thought or another.
Where did that thought come from?
How did it get started?
It had to come from somewhere.
It’s helpful if the readers stops when he becomes aware of this and traces the thought backwards to see where it originated. IF one does this, the answers will be quite surprising.
“Take captive every thought.”
Do not let stray/random/tormenting thoughts have free reign over your mind.
Louisiana’s Sinking Coast Is a $100 Billion Nightmare for Big Oil – Another yarn, spun by Satan’s Mouthpiece, about the rising of the seas. It belongs in the Media Narratives section, but they all can’t be in that section–though many days, most more properly belong there.
The canals tell a story about the industry’s ubiquity in Louisiana history, but they also signal a grave future: $100 billion of energy infrastructure threatened by rising sea levels and erosion. As the coastline recedes, tangles of pipeline are exposed to corrosive seawater; refineries, tank farms and ports are at risk.
And Target is now saying that it anticipates further strife in the months ahead: The company is projecting that sales will dip as much as 2% during the third and fourth quarters of 2016—which include the key back-to-school and holiday shopping seasons—after previously forecasting growth between 1.5% and 2.5%.
Border walls were a topic of interest which pre-dated Donald Trump’s carefully-scripted posturing.
Corporatism or a Border? – Another false choice. The game plan for the oozing sore of illegal immigration appears to be the following.
The intentional, created “problem” of illegal immigrants flooding into the USA will be “solved” by a border fence. After the destruction wrought by The DC (Den of Corruption), Americans will cry out for a solution–even more so than they are doing at present.
Too late will cheering Americans realize its not to keep others out–it’s to keep them in!
Maybe that’s why there has been activity along the border–the Canadian border!?!
Drones prowl Canada-U.S. border, is a fence next? – In the fall of 2011, there was much media talk about a “Canadian border fence.” It’s died down, but drones activity has been stepped up. No current media activity about the construction of a Canadian border fence.
A familiar voice intrudes. “What or who is having this experience right this moment, right now?” Pause. “It is your own being. It is your innermost being that is having the experience, your true self.”
The voice continues. “Live here, with no regrets, no anticipation, no resistance, and you will be free. Freedom is always now. Being is now.”
Sounds like the pagan temples called “churches” might be on their way out. ‘Experience’ is the new worship and ‘self’ is the new worship center.
Who needs a church?
The churches have to work extra-hard to alter perception within their building, within the confines of their various services, using such out-dated methods as sound, odors, vibrations and lighting. They are at a distinct disadvantage to a system which makes no pretenses about trying to manipulate what is real.
Perhaps the churches of the near future will be featuring virtual reality.
Perhaps virtual reality will be available (without the cumbersome headsets/goggles now required) to all within a defined, indoor space, much like WiFi?
Then the churches will be on top in the race to distort the reality of those in attendance.
For instance, Trump is right that American manufacturing has been destroyed. Blaming the loss on immigrants however is fingering the wrong culprits.
Americans should not have believed all of their own propaganda about their rise on the world stage.
The same forces that artificially built up the USA before (but especially after) World War II are the same ones that artificially began tearing the US down 20-25 years ago.
Certain nations give their athletes huge cash rewards if they successfully in the Olympics but others, including Great Britain, don’t give their athletes anything.
“There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD”
–Deuteronomy 18:10-12
A little piece of disinformation about divination (which is forbidden by God Almighty and is the accessing of illegitimate supernatural power to try and see into the future).
The divination method of casting lots (Cleromancy) was used by the remaining eleven disciples of Jesus in Acts 1:23-26 to select a replacement for Judas Iscariot. Therefore, divination was arguably an accepted practice in the early church. However, divination became viewed as a pagan practice by Christian emperors during ancient Rome.
ONLY if “divination” is defined as accessing ALL supernatural power (both approved and proscribed) can this be said.
The early Christian Church knew the difference.
The Christian Church today knows the difference.
Even pagans and practitioners of the occult know the difference.
Though the pagan disinformation agents who write Wikipedia about such topics appear clueless, they know EXACTLY what they are writing.
Satan’s Mouthpiece tirelessly labors to assure the unwary that forbidden practices are perfectly okay with God Almighty and that it’s just a big misunderstanding that He will forget all about once the diviner gets to heaven.
Troublemakers in the Church –In the end times, the true Christian will be looked upon as a “troublemaker” by those in the pagan churches.
Deception is now so thick, one could cut it with a knife–and it will only get worse..
The Apostate Church has been chugging along for quite some time now
Long enough so that what was once evil is now proclaimed to be good–and what was good is now determined to be evil.
“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! “
–Isaiah 5:20
Long enough, in fact, so that heresies and blasphemies permeate the church to such a degree that few now pay them much attention.
Long enough so that the scandalous doctrines that were popular in the mega-churches ten years ago have now seeped into the capillaries of the smaller, visible churches.
Things will get worse–much worse–but for now, many of the few remaining watchmen are being thrown off the walls by those they watch over.
The linked, short article covers why that is.
The Bible describes the people who populate the end times churches.
It is not very complimentary.
What does the Bible say about those who inhabit the end times churches?
Grievous wolves, ravening wolves, wolves in sheep’s clothing, seducers, evil men, false prophets, false Christs, ungodly men, “men…speaking perverse things,” false teachers, “them which cause division and offences contrary to doctrine…by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple,” false apostles, deceitful workers, “ministers of Satan” who present themselves as “ministers of righteousness,” ear-tickling false teachers: this is who the Bible warns will be in the churches.

Jesus questioned if He would “find faith on the earth” when He returned.
It was not a rhetorical question.
“Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?”
–Luke 18:8
Even as the Standard & Poor’s 500 index was setting a string of records through July, nearly as many dollars were leaving stock funds as entering. Investors are still skeptical of a market that hurt them so painfully during the 2008 financial crisis.
Exhaustion can feel like the by-product of a new and modern era, where work has slithered past the four walls of the office or the three walls of the cubicle into the home; where emails invite themselves on our beach vacations; where the media consistently reminds us of climate change, terrorism, and the chaotic political scene.
They get that a certain “moral flexibility” is required to swallow all of the yarns, half-truths and blarney which that old, pagan religion dishes up to the public as “the truth.”
The truth NEVER changes.
SCIENCE!™ not only changes regularly, it careens and veers along which ever way the winds of politics, fashion or expediency may blow it.
The Inupiat Eskimo village of Shishmaref, on a tiny island just north of the Bering Strait, has been inhabited for 400 years, but could become a ghost town as a result of global warming.
“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.
“He [Jesus] answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.”
–Mark 7:6-7
The Corporate Media LOVE to promote sin and license and then–once the effects of a long-term government/media propaganda campaign bear fruit–write the obituaries.
HOWEVER, publishers will never go broke flattering those who attend the pagan temples known in America as the “churches.” As always, whenever Satan’s Mouthpiece (the Corporate Media) refers to “Christian,” the savvy reader knows to append “counterfeit” to the front of it.
As it is in 2016, in years past the portion of America which was Christian was EXTREMELY small. That is according to Jesus Himself.
Believe it or not; most church-goers do not believe it.
“Because strait [narrow] is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”
–Matthew 7:14
In America, the definition of “Christian” has always been an extremely flexible one.
The portion of America which PRETENDED (or because they sat in a building called a “church” mistakenly BELIEVED themselves) to be Christian HAS ALWAYS been a good deal larger than the few who really were Christian.
“This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.”
–Matthew 15:8-9
The Era of ‘The B**ch’ is coming – A collection of narratives (propaganda, prejudices and preferences) bundled up, tied with a pretty pink ribbon of pretend journalism and served, steaming hot, to the reader.
Volvo Cars has so far delivered a handful of vehicles out of a total of 100 due by the end of the year. The two companies signed a pact earlier this year to spend $300 million to develop a fully autonomous car that will be ready for the road by 2021.
