For those old enough to have lived through all of it, it is so refreshing to read an article that says, yes, you were completely gaslit, about everything. As a Christian the tragic ending of the modern West is not hopeless. But it is going to be devastatingly painful and will ruin so many lives many will be tempted to despair. We Christians need to repent in prayer and penance on behalf of the world, that the true Lord of the world may shorten the time of tribulation which is coming.
Societal collapse may not be as terrible as some people imagine.
The collapse of the Roman Empire and the beginning of the Middle Ages is a good example of that.
Most people tend to think that the collapse of the Roman Empire (and the subsequent end of Antiquity) was a huge sociocultural catastrophe. But in reality it was not.
Sure... if the Roman Empire had collapsed in the last 1st century it'd probably be a terrible sight to behold.
But the Rome of the 5th century was not in any way the Rome of Augustus, Claudius or Vespasian. It was a cultural cesspool, mined with corruption, where emperors were mostly retards surrounded by literal eunuchs and corrupt bishops and presbyters. The culture of the Ancient World was completely stagnant or in decline. And even christianity itself was starting to be corrupted by the surrounding debauchery.
When the last roman emperor of the West was deposed, nobody really missed him. The institution had become too decadent and fallible to be of any use to the people.
The ensuing times allowed for a new spirit to emerge. A new concept of the world. It was the time of the churches and monasteries. A time to rethink society and culture and politics. It was a time where christianity was set loose from imperial power and regained its doctrinal autonomy.
Many people imagine the Early Middle Ages as a time of conflict, of eternal wars between kings and kingdoms. In fact it was a far more peaceful time than the fall of the roman empire, when there was a bloody civil war or a barbarian invasion every couple of years. Even the indentured serfdom (which most people still associate with the Middle Ages) had been created in the Late Roman Empire. And roman peasants had far worse taxes and obligations than their medieval peers.
Unfortunately there'll be violence. Lots of it. And terrible. But I suppose that's the price society has to pay for decades of luxury, stupidity and debauchery during these last decades. Sometimes a body has to bleed to clear out the infection.
People will become confused, and lost and in despair. But some will recover. And these will guide and help the others and create a new concept of civilization.
Will it be worse? Better? Only the Lord knows and He sure won't tell us because everything that is happening is part of His plan.
Yes I agree the current apostate corpse of Christendom deserves the punishment of abandonment by God to natural consequences, and the future society will hopefully be more faithful and attend to His guidance. But woe to us who may be about to endure a foretaste of the riders of the apocalypse with coming famine and plagues and civil strife arising out of this war in Iran. Those of us who are believers alive in this time will be expected to be God's servants bringing peace and comfort and ministering. This is the time for which he will say to us, either "well done come into the kingdom prepared for you", or "begone into punishment" because of how we behave toward the weak and needy in this coming tribulation.
I’ve lived through this my whole lifetime. So many changes. So many lies.
I follow Christ. Not YHWH. I believe there is a difference. Jesus never asked us to hate our enemy. But, YHWH did. The YHWH character is evil. All one has to do is read the old testament. Jesus’s father is above YHWH and the Elohim.
Interesting that you mention the "Project for a New American Century" (PNAC).
That group put out a paper at some point in the 1990's (I don't have a link, sorry), which said that it should be the goal of Washington's policy that (paraphrasing here):
"No nation or combination of nations be allowed to be in the position to challenge United States military, diplomatic or economic supremacy".
Breathtaking hubris. A common interpretation of that document was that it was primarily directed at Russia, following the fall of the Soviet Union, and the supposed end of the cold war. Several motivations for the attitude have suggested themselves to me. One is the belief among certain mid-level intellectuals that the fall of the Soviet Union was a giant fake: the commies are just playing dead, are still in charge in Russia, and are just waiting for the U.S. to "weaken" itself so they can strike. I find that thesis not credible, but it has some proponents.
A more plausible interpretation for me is that after the fall of the Soviet Union the attitude of much of the ruling class in the US towards Russia was:
"We won the Cold War. You lost. We run the world now. As losers, you do what we say, and you recognize your new position as our newest vassal state: Kneel before us."
The Russians, not surprisingly, have rather politely said "spasibo, nyet".
The possibility that this post Cold War attitude was strongly influenced by people like Netanyahu, the Israeli lobby, and Jewish billionaires whose primary loyalty is to their own tribe, as manifested by the state of Israel (the "Zionist entity", as some like to refer to it), for their own interests in the "Greater Israel" project, is a connection which I had not previously made. Food for thought.
Yes Wayne, I have written a lot on PNAC and if you put “regime change” in the search box on my homepage you will find more than you ever wanted to know about them. The pinned thread on my twitter has even more detail in some cases. I stopped doing long threads as I just got shadowbanned for telling the truth lol.
I remember informing a colleague about PNAC. I sent him the documents. After he read it, his response was “This is like something out of a science fiction novel.” He couldn’t believe it, yet it was real. That was over 20 yrs ago. And now the reality of that plan is unfolding and coming to its logical endpoint.
Superb article Frank. The ‘private citizen’ has melted the final remnants of my rapidly calcifying brain. This is shaping up like a chapter of Blood Meridian - desolate and bleak. Not hopeless (I have faith) but nevertheless, an inevitable attrition is here and will be enduring. It’s taken 80 years, give or take, (and if you invoke Biblical timelines, it becomes incomprehensible to us comparing the timeline to post WWII) they are going nowhere without their Samson option first being deployed. A Jew cries as he strikes you, I’ve heard the saying.
When I was mature enough to understand, in my life time of regime change we’ve had - Iraq part 1, Yugoslavia, Iraq part 2, Afghanistan, Lybia, Syria, Ukraine part 1 - Maiden coup and massacre, Ukraine part 2, numerous velvet or colour revolutions, now Iran, the wet dream giving masterbatory ecstasy to the Jewish Pole who thinks he’s Israeli and Trump.
I’m 💯 certain I’ve missed some, I’ll take the criticism.
St Paul writes that all Scripture is for our edification. The total destruction of Amalek including children is disturbing. But buried in the wisdom literature is the reason why. They were cultures entirely given to Ba'al. So God sets the boundaries for the rise and fall of Nations. He then defended Israel through centuries for his name sake to show He is the true God. They were a fleshly people acquiring an earthly realm.
My understanding is that Christians are not fighting flesh and blood but principalities and powers. So the rule of engagement that our Secretary of War despises are vitally important.

Amen! Amen! Beg God for forgiveness, sin no more! Then confess our sins as Jesus told us to do!
Frank, this is another outstanding essay. What an eye-opener. Thank you for another truth and reality bomb!

"Jewdeo-Christianity" is the greatest two-word lie ever told.

Yes they’ve corrupted and finally destroyed us.

Dear Frank
Excellent, I will publish.

The Zio-CIA must have fucked with your text. Uncharacteristically riddled with spelling and even syntax errors.
Oh dear. Well I did check it several times. I shall do so again and check errors. Sorry
I feel the Forces of Darkness are not above any low perfidy now, including messing up texts.
I’ve had a look Franz and cannot find anything wrong. Perhaps the problem is me lol
There's an editor's tip that you are more likely to overlook typos when proofreading unless you change the font before rereading it.
Last paragraph; 'dispossed'.
Oh dear. Thank you Robert.
