SATAN’S MOUTHPIECE: The Corporate Media

Biden will seek to establish red lines in high-stakes meeting with China’s Xi

Biden, Democrats celebrate keeping control of the Senate – Demonstrating once more that winners are so happy at being selected, they celebrate–or, at least they ACT like they’re celebrating.

Losers do not.

“Meet the new boss…same as the old boss.”
–The Who, Won’t get fooled again

HOW Joe Biden and the Democratic Party defied midterm history – The plucky Democrats hang on by the skin of their teeth.

It is now up to Satan’s Mouthpiece (the Corporate Media) to EXPLAIN how this unlikely event came to be.

Michelle Obama praises Biden but stops short of full-throated 2024 endorsement

“Donald Trump said he got to know Vladimir Putin very well because they were on “60 Minutes” the same night, even though they were interviewed by different hosts in different locations. Then he said it was a pleasure to meet Flo the Progressive lady during the commercial break.”
-–Conan (2015)

“President Trump continues his diplomatic tour through Asia. Yesterday, in a joint appearance with Chinese President Xi Jinping, Trump gave China “great credit for taking advantage of the United States in trade negotiations.” Sounds like someone is looking for a new country to help him rig the next election.”
–-James Corden (2017)

“Hillary Clinton this week has begun telling the story of her attempt to join the Marines in 1975. But the closest she ever came to the Marines was buying a pantsuit at Old Navy.”
–-Seth Meyers (2015)

“The Republican debate was about the economy and I have to say it was not as much fun as the last one. It was mostly boring. And there are too many people on stage. It might be time to split the candidates into teams and make them play dodgeball or something to see who stays.”

Donald Trump Prophecy?

“You can’t shame or humiliate modern celebrities? (or politicians? – Ed.). What used to be called shame and humiliation is now called publicity. And forget traditional character assassination; if you say a modern celebrity is an adulterer, a pervert and a drug addict, all it means is that you’ve read his autobiography.”
-—P.J. O’Rourke

QUOTES: A Few Thoughts on Voting

“The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.”
Winston Churchill

Others might insist that a five-minute conversation with one of the political puppets is the best argument against democracy.

Things of This World: Faith and Trust in Politics

“But actually, he thought as he readjusted the Ministry of Plenty’s figures, it was not even forgery. It was merely the substitution of one piece of nonsense for another. Most of the material that you were dealing with had no connection with anything in the real world, not even the kind of connection that is contained in a direct lie. Statistics were just as much a fantasy in their original version as in their rectified version. A great deal of time you were expected to make them up out of your head.”
–-On changing government statistics – George Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-Four

POLLS: Another Way to Lie

Do you believe the media? Then why do you believe their lying polls?

“Political campaigns today are all side shows, all honors, all bombast, glitter, and speeches. These are for the most part unrelated to the main business of studying the party scientifically, of supplying the public with party, candidate, platform, and performance, and selling the public these ideas and products.”
Edward Bernays, Propaganda (1928)

POLLS: The Fiction of Polls and Public Opinion

“There is no public opinion. There is only published opinion.”
–Winston Churchill

The Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy and Polls

“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

“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 1:16power-of-salvation-the-gospel-of-Jesus-Christ

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST

“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

THE END TIMES WORLD IS A DARK, DARK PLACE. JESUS IS THE LIGHT.

LIGHT IN THE DARK

The world–particularly the end times world–is a dark, dark place.

The darkness is caused by DECEPTION.

“And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.”
–1JOHN 5:19

[One of the deceptions is the Satan-approved Bible translations which change 1JOHN 5:19 from “the whole world lieth in wickedness.” to “the whole world lies in the Wicked One.” But ANYONE who has studied the verse in the original Greek KNOWS that the original KJV translation is the CORRECT ONE.]

“For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.”
–Isaiah 60:2

Though the world be covered in the darkness of deception, Jesus is the light of the world.

“And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.”
–John 1:5

“…he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.”
–Daniel 2:22

“Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”
–John 8:12

Time is growing short.

Follow Jesus Christ.

Follow the light.

VIRTUAL REALITY IS MAN-MADE DELUSION

Reality switch

Virtual reality is a false reality being sold as something which is claimed to be “as if you were there.”

The Digital Ruins of a Forgotten Future – The Internet once featured a false reality built by the participants and named it  “Second Life.”

What does that all mean–if anything–for today?

As virtual-reality technology grows more advanced, it promises to deliver a more fully realized version of what many believed Second Life would offer: total immersion in another world. And as our actual world keeps delivering weekly horrors—another mass shooting, another hurricane, another tweet from the president threatening nuclear war—the appeal of that alternate world keeps deepening…

Regardless, the linked piece is a highly-readable essay.

Virtual reality IS itself a delusion, but more accurately: it feeds whatever delusions the individual may harbor.

SET THE CLOCKS: Did the Reader Remember?


ETERNAL LIFE: GOD’S GIFT TO EVERY MAN

gift-giving

God’s GREATEST gift to mankind may be one which most folks end up NOT using.

Of course, we’re referring to ETERNAL LIFE.

ALL men receive this great gift from God the moment they are born.

The righteous use their eternal life to take advantage of God’s love and protection for man.

The WICKED–the GREAT majority of mankind–use their eternal life as a way to endure unending torment and everlasting affliction.

Although God’s Word is VERY clear about the ultimate fate of the WICKED, the evil and the foolish, such men would rather trade their eternal reward AFTER this life is over for a few moments of pleasure in this present life.

“He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.  But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”
–Revelation 21:7-8

This is a VERY, VERY poor trade.

However, most men are deceived and believe what they have been told from an early age.

And so, most men will end up burning forever in a lake of fire.

Not the best way to spend one’s eternity.

Has the reader spent any time thinking about how he would like to spend his eternity?

OR, has the reader hoped beyond hope that he will not have to concern himself with such a thing?

It is a simple choice: a relatively short time of righteousness here on earth OR, a relatively short time of wickedness, depravity and plenty.

The result of that choice determines where one will spend the rest of eternity AND what type of eternity that person can look forward to.

God’s gift to EVERY man is eternal life; but, it is up to EACH man how he will spend that eternity.

TODAY’S “FEUDS

Everyone LOVES to hear and see DRAMA, right?

And what is more dramatic than an apparent feud among the beautiful people, right?

Particularly if the “feud” is between celebrities, politicos or royal nabobs?

IN FACT, the rich and celebrated almost never disagree: they engage in feuds–sometimes for decades after they have ceased being celebrated for anything else.

What would the beautiful people do with themselves if not for their never-ending feuds?

Satan’s Mouthpiece (the Corporate Media) has always had a problem: what to do when too many of the rich and celebrated have NOTHING “newsworthy” to do. When the media gets tired of reporting what the rich and celebrated are wearing, they turn to the tried-and-true method of of fake “feuds” to generate cheap, plastic “news.”

One popular singer’s entire marketing campaign over the years seems to have been based on engaging in one “feud” after another. But, as the “victims” appear to be primarily the singer’s “fans,” it’s hard to get too worked up over the ruse.

Sports, politics and celebrity culture, European royalty–wherever the rich and celebrated congregate: these are the arenas where readers can most often find stories of “feuds.

Oh–and pro wrestling…

One can depend on those who labor for the mystery of iniquity to act, in not only an EVIL manner, but also in a very repetitive one as well.

Case in point: when two followers of Satan are working together, one of the first things they do is establish that they 1-do not like each other; 2- they hate each other; or, 3- are fighting against one another.

Democrats and Republicans, Russia and the USA, members of the same family who toil together for evil ends, famous celebrities who are “feuding” with each other: it happens so often, one occasionally has to wonder, “Does Satan have a university or school where he teaches his followers these tricks?”

MEDIA NARRATIVES ALERT

“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.

SOMA: A PERFECT DRUG FOR THE END TIMES

PHARMAKEUS: End times sorcery

The Bible warns of drugs in the end times–and warns such concoctions (which modern man calls “medications”) are connected with witchcraft and sorcery.

BUT end times man rather likes being enslaved to drugs.

Drink that’s like alcohol… but without hangovers or addiction: ‘Healthy’ beverage could be on the market within two years  – The article says that the drink will create the same “happy, fuzzy” type of feeling as alcohol without the drawbacks.  Sounds like they’re close to unveiling a Soma-type drink/drug for the masses.

“It is described as being prepared by extracting juice from the stalks of a certain plant. In both Vedic and Zoroastrian tradition, the name of the drink and the plant are the same, and also personified as a divinity, the three forming a religious or mythological unity. In the Vedas, the drink, and the plant refer to the same entity. Drinking Soma produces immortality (Amrita, Rigveda 8.48.3). “

This was one use of the word ‘soma.’

This writer had another soma definition in mind, however.

“A fictional hallucinogenic drug in Aldous Huxley’s 1932 novel,Brave New World, and 1962 novel Island, —used by those in power to subdue the citizens, —described as “the perfect drug”

The idea behind soma–the perfect drug–is to make people love their servitude.  Today there are those who are enslaved by certain drugs, surrounded by chaos and despair.  However, because of the effects of the drugs, they believe that their situation is not only manageable but, in some cases, desirable to the alternatives.

End Times Mankind: though enslaved to drugs–though their life revolves around the drugs–they believe they are free.

This is particularly true in America.

“A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude.”
–Aldous Huxley

“There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods. And this seems to be the final revolution”
–Aldous Huxley

USING THE MEDIA TO ACCUSE, TRY AND CONVICT WITHOUT A TRIAL

judgment

The government/media has begun a very dangerous new practice.

Actually, that practice has a long history in the USA.  just not as in-your-face as it has been over the past few weeks.

It is the idea that in order to punish someone, there is no longer any need to prove them guilty. All one must do in these times in which we now live is to accuse someone in the press (especially if the accusations have to do with sexual assault). It does not matter how credible the accusations are or even whether they are true or not.

[NOTE: It does not matter if the charges are from behaviors which supposedly happened YEARS ago.]

Just call a press conference, accuse someone, let the press repeat the charges and–voila!–Punishment is dished out AS IF the charge had been true.

The reader may be assured this is all leading somewhere that does not involve the rich and celebrated.

The reader may also be assured that whether any (or all) of the accused in the various media sexual assault cases are true or not, the idea that a trial is not necessary to determine innocence or guilt (and to mete out punishment) will be something that many Americans will be certain is true.

Make no mistake: the point here is the punishment of those accused without a trial.

Some believe they can read about someone in the media and then decide their innocence or guilt.

Those Americans’ sense of justice would then be exactly the same as alynch mob.

Those Americans should also be reminded that this sort of behavior–such as trying and executing justice without a trial–is a form of control, NOT justice.

One other place these types of media stories are heading: they groom the masses for the idea that the only free speech is approved speech.

ONE-WORLD GOVERNMENT AND THE MAN OF SIN

Man of Sin and the one-world government

“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition”
–2Thessalonians 2:3

While engaged in a recent discussion, an odd bit was discovered about the man of sin and the coming one-world government which the Bible declares will rule the earth for a short time.

“And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.”
–Revelation 13:4-8

These five verses in Revelation 13 reveal much about the coming one-world government.

The first few verses in question appear to be referring to the beast system. THEN, the system is given a “mouth speaking great things and blasphemies.

This “mouth” appears to be the man of sin.

The rest of Revelation 13:4-8 appears to be referring to the man of sin: the whole world will worship him (except for true believers) as the False Messiah and he will make war with the saints and overcome them (for a season).

One item from the recent discussion: “popular prophecy teachers” usually refer to the man of sin (or their “Antichrist“) ushering in the world government.  But the Bible declares that the world government will appear first and then the man of sin will hijack it and make it his own LATER.

Modern “Bible teachers” (tares) go on and on and on about “the beast” and how this beast is the end times ruler (antichrist) of the whole world.

Actually, the beast of revelation 13 is both a man (one of the 10 original rulers of the world) AND the system of one-world government which rules the entire world for a time. Whether the verse is referring to the man or the system of government is determined by the context.

We can know this because the Bible clearly spells it out for all.

MORE: Who or What is the Beast in Revelation?

We can know the coming beast government system rules the entire earth because the government says “power was given him [the man of sin] over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

All nations.

That means the entire world.

SO, the man of sin DOES NOT come along at the beginning of the one-world government: the man of sin comes along AFTER the one-world government is established and then he usurps (“uproots) three of the world leaders, taking their place.

“I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.”
–Daniel 7:8

The man of sin: when he takes center stage, the whole world will be watching him…

…and the then, the whole world will worship him (and the dragon [Satan]).

Fast-paced action, believable characters and a plot which pulled the reader through the story, A Brush with the Beast was a novel which made the reader look forward to that time when next he could return to  the story.

If the reader is looking for a fast-paced, gripping novel,  A Brush with the Beast is a good choice.

This review will be broken into three parts, each addressed separately: mechanics, story and biblical accuracy.

First, the mechanics.

The novel had some grammar and spelling issues, which distracted somewhat from the story’s pacing in the early going–but it was nothing a good proofreading couldn’t fix.

Also, the novel’s story was composed of a number of intercut scenes featuring the main characters. As the novel’s various characters and locales quickly changed, it might have been helpful (especially during the first half of the book before the reader is completely acquainted with each character) to introduce each scene with where and when the scene was taking place, ala Tom Clancy. This could have helped the reader more quickly grasp the various strands of the story.

One of the best things which can be said about the mechanics of a novel is they should be “invisible.”  If they do not get in the way of, or distract from, the story they are just about right.

For the most part, A Brush with the Beast accomplished this.

Now, the story.

As stated, the characters were believable and the reader rapidly began to care about what happened to them. The novel’s pacing was fast and pages were rapidly turned as the story progressed.

The setting is loosely based on events found in the Bible’s Book of Revelation. The plot revolves around the various events in the weeks and months during the rise to power of Nick Gooseberry, the future world ruler called the antichrist.

Sometimes, he is also called the “beast.”

While a significant portion of the story took place in Iraq (Babylon), the action ranged across the entire world (particularly the USA and the Middle East) and this change of locales added to the flavor of the story, as well as the suspense.

A number of other characters contributed to and were skillfully woven into the story, particularly those with Arabic backgrounds.

One of the main characters in the story is Sarah, an ex-con who becomes entangled in the end times events. Sarah is realistically likeable; i.e., she is believable as well as engaging. It’s hard to imagine the reader who does not become interested in what happens to both Sarah and those with who she comes in contact.

This writer was pleasantly surprised at how fast a read A Brush with the Beast was.

Spoiler alert: this book is not the complete story.

However, this should not deter the potential buyer as the novel functions quite well as a stand-alone narrative. There are a number of loose ends which nudge the reader into looking forward to the next book in this series. None of these unfinished plot points however detract from the self-contained story which makes up A Brush with the Beast.

Finally, biblical accuracy.

The backdrop and many of the events which take place in A Brush with the Beast agree with the narratives imagined by earlier works such as Late Great Planet Earth and the Left Behind series. While popular (particularly in America), this narrative framework is not the same as agreeing with what the Bible declares.

This does not detract from the story.

The author added several interesting plot points based on speculation–such as a Babylonian laver filled with the blood of 666 infants. As a rule, all such speculation proved interesting and plausible.

FINAL VERDICT:

If the reader is looking for answers about what the Bible states will soon come upon the earth, this novel will give him much the same information as other popular books in this genre.

However, if the reader is looking for a good read which will hold his attention, it is hard to see how he could go wrong with A Brush with the Beast.


It is not yet too late: there is still time to repent, place your faith for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

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
