Making ROME Great Again!?!

Walter Veith Responds to Tony Palmer's Video (Time: 1:12:40) at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAhGHQH7GRc
In light of all this, should we re-read Foxe's Book of Martyrs? review the history of Bible suppression? remember John Huss,3 Wycliffe, Tyndle, et al.? study prophecy? study relevant Papal Bulls and catechisms? ask God what He thinks of all this (with real intent to listen)?

Or is all this going to prove another tragic déjà vu as church and state again conjoin while we distract ourselves with the gods of this world?

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.4

Should We Listen?


When credible voices raise the same (déjà vu?) warning over a span of three-hundred plus years, should we take time to listen and investigate?

Are we reaping the consequences for not listening?


The Jesuit Order (Full Documentary) (Time 1:01:23) at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSzJQN4-iM4&t=2135s

--------------------/
Note: As we pursue truth in a world filled with errors and deceptions, all of us have mistaken beliefs or opinions in various degrees, thus it takes some discipline to not throw the baby out with the bathwater when we find ourselves offended. So concerning some possible interpretations of points 8 and 9 of the above presentation, remember how displeased the Lord was with Miriam and Aaron for criticizing Moses' marriage to an Ethiopian woman (Old Testament | Numbers 12:1-15). So if we reject everything a person says upon discovering something we perceive to be in error, we drastically limit the possibility of finding truth. Perhaps the best solution when confronting opinions and interpretations that offend is to peaceably stand for justice and equity. Most times, seeking truth seems like a “mining” operation where nuggets are chipped out from surrounding debris. We learn as we go—hopefully open, in all things, to God's justice and equity, however disrupting this might be to our own beliefs and biases.
And also remember God's words:
New Testament | John 3:16 ~ For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
New Testament | 1 Timothy 2:4 ~ For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 26:33 ~ ... for [the Lord] doeth that which is good among the children of men; and he doeth nothing save it be plain unto the children of men; and he inviteth them all to come unto him and partake of his goodness; and he denieth none that come unto him, black and white, bond and free, male and female; and he remembereth the heathen; and all are alike unto God, both Jew and Gentile.
Book of Mormon | 2 Nephi 2:9 ~ Wherefore, he is the firstfruits unto God, inasmuch as he shall make intercession for all the children of men; and they that believe in him shall be saved.
Book of Mormon | Moroni 7:34 ~ And he hath said: Repent all ye ends of the earth, and come unto me, and be baptized in my name, and have faith in me, that ye may be saved.

A Global Abomination


Wisdom is knowing how little we know.
~ Socrates ~

The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance -
it is the illusion of knowledge.
~ Daniel J. Boorstin ~
[as in? “I know that can't be true.”]

(If these videos are taken down or become dark because of censorship, use keyword searches to perhaps find them mirrored elsewhere.)
Of course, we must exercise discernment when listening to witnesses, but because their stories may sound unbelievable, it does not mean they are entirely false or fabricated.2 Do we think we are so advanced that we cannot have Caligulas, Neros, Herods, Atillas, Hitlers, et al. al. al. in our leadership? Do we not know that sexual addictions and perversities are some of the horrible, persistent déjà vus of every age? that the obsessive pursuit of power, privilege, and gain always becomes psychopathic?

When will we begin to explore the reality that pursuers of power, privilege, and gain have sold themselves into the abominations of old? When will we clue in that the majority of what the elite and powerful say cannot be trusted in any degree? that the “fake news” they are accusing citizen investigators with is, in large measure, horrible truth that will destroy their power, privilege, and gain? Can we not see that? The evidence is abundant if those who are charged with law and order will have the integrity and courage to look and act NOW.

If not, God help us all.

2. Some testimony may be a mix of truths and falsehoods. Suggestibility can impact memory and recall of recovering DID survivors if therapy is mismanaged or corrupted, not to mention the possibility of M-K programmers using actors / impersonators during trauma to so conflate truth with error that all is rejected as false when recalled facts do not mesh with perceived reality upon investigation. As well, even after healing, personality traits, like narcissism or psychopathy, may emerge, again causing truth and error to so intertwine that all is rejected, instead of independently investigating each allegation. Strange how we can fragment and compartmentalize the human psyche, yet reject a witness's entire testimony—even those parts proven to be true if one or more fragments are proven to be false. So, for those reasons, and for others it seems that holding some information in limbo till it can be verified may be advisable. Yet when witnesses continue to surface over decades alleging similar practices of T-BMC, sometimes accompanied by documented evidence, then should we not do all we can to investigate and end such patterns and practices? (For some discussion on therapies, etc, see the Cathy O'Brien / Mark Phillips book, Access Denied For Reasons of National Security: Documented Journey from CIA Mind Control Slave to U.S. Government Whistleblower, particularly chapters 35 (Therapists' Mistakes) & 36 (Thanks for the False Memories).

Thoughts Banging on My Forehead

(Being Wrong? Being Right? Being Aware? Being Open? Being ... ?)

Reality Check
Several things have been cycling through my mind since a recent Thanksgiving conversation—thoughts about world and spiritual conditions that I have been studying for decades (and which most of the people I know are not prepared to hear).

A friend spoke about transgender persons and his feelings of compassion for them, but I have wondered if understanding WHY our world is experiencing an explosion of gender rejection and of Dissociative Identity Disorders (DID) is even more vital than expressing compassion that does not explore cause. So I address the rest of this post to my friend.

Maybe you don't believe there is a cause, but would you if you knew there have been science and medical programs in place for over 60 years that experimented with dissociation and its usefulness to powers and governments. These were trauma-based mind control projects. One of the most “renowned” was the U.S.-based MKUltra project.1 (Please read the link. It is not too long.)

But even before MKUltra, others knew that trauma could cause dissociation between mind, body, feelings, and memory. Trauma has also been used by pedophile rings (which are rampant worldwide) to fragment children so that they lose the ability to recall repetitive mental, physical, and sexual abuse. Sometimes, fragmented personalities are programmed to adopt various ages and genders, with completely different tastes, preferences, behaviors, and skills; programmed to be unaware of alternate personalities; and to be controlled by handlers with trigger words or events.2 The traumas are often structured to be so fantastical that any inadvertent recall would not be believed; and when necessary, false reports are interspersed and conflated with truth in order to discredit any proceedings. Trauma sometimes begins when children are even infants. And sometimes the fragmentation just happens without an abuser intending it.

Over the years, experimental and other addict- or cult-based trauma programs have been inflicted upon many generations of families, and it is estimated that millions worldwide have become DID victims/DID perpetrators passing down through the generations.

Maybe you want to reject or dismiss all this, as so many do—some out of fear; some out of disbelief because they cannot or will not recognize the reality of such evil; some because the “I want—I think—I feel” mantra has replaced values and principles of empathy, compassion, humility, love, integrity, and truth. Too many say, “Live and let live” without seeming to care how many are not living, but suffering and dying because we live in fear or denial.

I don't know the space you are in right now, but it is highly unlikely that we will ever understand this present world without understanding the prevalence and purposes of trauma-based mind control. Yet, most people, including reporters, academics, pastors, politicians, and professionals of all stripes are utterly naive or dismissive about what has been repeatedly witnessed—the magnitude of mental, physical, spiritual, and sexual trauma that has been, and is still being deliberately inflicted worldwide for a variety of purposes.

As it is, we seem so inundated with opinions, theories, biases, feelings, and tolerances about everything while we ignore credible witnesses and therapists who know and have experienced the realities of T-BMC?

As well, we too often reject, in knee-jerk fashion, anything that is mocked as “conspiracy” when almost the entirety of world history is (by mere observation and study) a déjà vu of conspiracy upon conspiracy of those pursuing or protecting power, privilege, and gain?3

The consequences of trauma are beginning to reap their horrible harvest worldwide; and so few are prepared with the gifts and knowledge of healing,4 or with the power to prevent further horrors. I have wondered in recent months if your life experiences, your creative gifts, and your passion to know and understand things have been preparing you for a time when the consequences of deliberately inflicted trauma finally explode upon the world.

I know you are struggling with understanding this life experience. You are not alone. Thousands have struggled for years, including even Mother Teresa, but this I can witness for myself. In my own decades of searching for answers and understanding, I have listened to and read hundreds of theories and opinions, including from militant atheists like Richard Dawkins (scientist) and Sam Harris (philosopher / neuroscientist) and have found that the dogma, controls, and programming that many reject in religion are manifest in equal degree in nigh every sphere of human knowledge, especially science, medicine, and academics. Many highly educated professionals, in my experience and observation, seem as authoritarian-bound to their secular beliefs as believers are to their sects; and are just as hostile to anything that questions their theories, opinions, vested interests, or standard models. The history of scientific discovery tells that tale. Consider even the recent struggles of Vaxxed and of the Electric Universe/Plasma model; or of the tragedy surrounding Tesla's free energy. It is quite eye-opening to study how often in history, science has sold itself for power, prestige, and profit—YET we don't throw the babies out with the bathwater. Many honest scientists persist against great odds to “prove all things (eventually) and hold fast to that which is good [and true]” (1 Thess. 5:21). Should we do any less when pursing the truths of religion?

For years I demanded a rational God—one who made sense. He never conformed to my demands, so I kept studying and writing and here are two of my explorations that might help as we both try to avoid “being wrong” in the choices we are making.

Offering Up the Children

by SMSmith

Once
Laid upon the altar of the world
The innocent child of the Hinnom wild
Killed amidst the groves.[1]

Now
Laid upon the altar of the world
The neglected child in pursuits reviled
For things laid up in store.
The ciphered child in perversities defiled
By addicts demeaning, ever demanding more.
And the embryo child in a world beguiled
By rights of all but those.

By Moloch's priests amidst pagan feasts
Laid upon the altars of the world.
In proxied price for the willful sin
Of an idolatrous kin
Who feign in sacrifice.

What of these groves and altars of the world?
And the plague-orphaned child abandoned while
We surfeit in ease
Bottom-line disease
Kill in war
Pursue self ever more.

How long, O humankind,
These groves and altars of the world?

Offering Up the Children*?


Once again, we are confronted with information1 that most will refuse to investigate, if history is any measure. How long before we actually open our eyes, ears, minds, and hearts to end the abominations? How many more Gacys,2 Saviles,3 Sanduskys,4 Epsteins,5 Franklin Cover-ups,6 etc., etc., etc., do we insist on tolerating / ignoring / denying before we finally shout “ENOUGH!” and aggressively pursue the concentric web of abusers and killers as far in and out of the web as necessary to wipe this curse out of the land? Most of these pedophile psychopaths are not lone-wolfers. They run in secretive clubs of suppliers and suppliees; blackmailers and blackmailees composed in diabolic measure of politicians, moguls, and power-brokers of every stripe, even to the highest levels in déjà vu of other times and places.7

So if we think this latest beginning exposé of the criminal left means we don't need to look to the criminal right, then maybe in coming days we will be disabused of that naiveté when “right” secrets begin to filter and re-filter down the airwaves, too. LET NOT this so-called Pizzagate take its place beside the forgotten Franklin Cover-up, but let us finally acknowledge that the criminal corpus of the beast is one, even if the head manifests as two—left and right.

And as the latest guns (labelled “fake news”) are being rushed out to justify censoring damning exposés of the “high and mighty,”8 we may not have much more time for investigative, informative speech! What manufactured crisis, false flag, or orchestrated war will soon descend upon the world in order to bury in fear and chaos this pedo-gate, global horror? Yes, global because every nation has become complicit. So what choice do these psychopaths have in order to protect their positions of power and gain? Our choice as citizens is to repent of our own sins and then to stand united together against every corruption; and under no circumstance to let these pedo-horrors continue or be hidden again.

SO, even if our speech and freedoms are denied, LET US, like Old Testament Daniel, raise our voices in constant, urgent prayer, pleading that every soul (whether to the left or to the right) that is engaged in these evils will be brought to confession and repentance, and if not, to full exposure and accountability:
For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad. (New Testament | Mark 4:22)

Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops. (New Testament | Luke 12:3)

(“Mr. Alefantis mingles with other Washington chefs and his establishment helped him to be named No. 49 in GQ magazine’s 50 most powerful people [!!!] in Washington in 2012.”) So where and how do some people get and keep such disproportionate power?

The Beginning of Another Reich?


On this day before the final(?) “choice” for the next US president, a real déjà vu from 1930s Europe may be raising its ugly head. Whatever the outcome, HRC or DJT, it does not appear to bode well for the future, thus one wonders whether there might be some prophecy is this view:

How long till our awakening? till we finally see and acknowledge how we have brought ourselves (by feeding on red AND blue lies) to this point-of-no-return to “greatness”—no matter the choice?

A Coming American Déjà Vu?


Circa 87 BC, a chief judge, governor, and prophet named Alma, lived and recorded his observations of a political event that occurred somewhere in the present-day Americas. These were his observations:1
Chapter 2
1 And it came to pass in the commencement of the fifth year of [the reign of the judges] there began to be a contention among the people; for a certain man, being called Amlici, [arose] being a very cunning man, yea, a wise man as to the wisdom of the world, ... —
2 Now this Amlici had, by his cunning, drawn away much people after him; even so much that they began to be very powerful; and they began to endeavor to establish Amlici to be a king over the people.
3 Now this was alarming to the people of the church, and also to all those who had not been drawn away after the persuasions of Amlici; for they knew that according to their law that such things must be established by the voice of the people.
4 Therefore, if it were possible that Amlici should gain the voice of the people, he, being a wicked man, would deprive them of their rights and privileges of the church; for it was his intent to destroy the church of God.
5 And it came to pass that the people assembled themselves together throughout all the land, every man according to his mind, whether it were for or against Amlici, in separate bodies, having much dispute and wonderful contentions one with another.
6 And thus they did assemble themselves together to cast in their voices concerning the matter; and they were laid before the judges.
7 And it came to pass that the voice of the people came against Amlici, that he was not made king over the people.
8 Now this did cause much joy in the hearts of those who were against him; but Amlici did stir up those who were in his favor to anger against those who were not in his favor.
9 And it came to pass that they gathered themselves together, and did consecrate Amlici to be their king.
10 Now when Amlici was made king over them he commanded them that they should take up arms against their brethren; and this he did that he might subject them to him. ...
12 Therefore the people ... were aware of the intent of the Amlicites, and therefore they did prepare to meet them; yea, they did arm themselves with swords, and with cimeters, and with bows, and with arrows, and with stones, and with slings, and with all manner of weapons of war, of every kind.
13 And thus they were prepared to meet the Amlicites at the time of their coming. And there were appointed captains, and higher captains, and chief captains, according to their numbers.
14 And it came to pass that Amlici did arm his men with all manner of weapons of war of every kind; and he also appointed rulers and leaders over his people, to lead them to war against their brethren.
15 And it came to pass that the Amlicites came upon the hill Amnihu, ... and there they began to make war ...
Chapter 3
1 ... —now the number of the slain were not numbered, because of the greatness of their number— ...
2 Now many women and children had been slain with the sword, and also many of their flocks and their herds; and also many of their fields of grain were destroyed, for they were trodden down by the hosts of men. ...
Chapter 4
1 Now it came to pass in the sixth year of the reign of the judges ... there were no contentions nor wars ...;
2 But the people were afflicted, yea, greatly afflicted for the loss of their brethren, and also for the loss of their flocks and herds, and also for the loss of their fields of grain, which were trodden under foot and destroyed ....
3 And so great were their afflictions that every soul had cause to mourn; and they believed that it was the judgments of God sent upon them because of their wickedness and their abominations; therefore they were awakened to a remembrance of their duty.
In the present political climate, do we see potential “American” parallels? And what about other parallels from history?

Are USians2 descending a wrong road and thinking that the fork ahead gives them a right choice?

Do Trumpers really think:
▪ that a corporate tyrant is, at heart, a freedom-loving constitutionalist?
▪ that this so-called “non-establishment,” outsider candidate is really “non-establishment” when his surrogates and advisers are deeply, far-right establishment?
▪ that a fight amongst GOP (& Dem) narcissists makes this “underdog” a good guy? (or is he really just the guy who is so self-absorbed and -deluded that he is his own cabal-of-one, totally unaware that he is being manipulated by a more cunning cabal?)
▪ that the enemy of all good cannot have a forked tongue (R&D)? a two-pronged approach? two candidates? two fronts? two scenarios? multiple options?
▪ that the exposures from WikiLeaks (deception, intimidation, corruption, manipulation, etc., etc.) cancel the flood (deception, intimidation, corruption, manipulation, etc., etc.) from this man's past and present (and juvenile mouth3)?
▪ that WOE is not in the works when seeing, we see not (what DJT does in real RECORDED time and space) and hearing, we hear not (what DJT really says and thinks from a place of self-delusion)?
Perhaps USians have come to this fake R&D choice-point (a PONR?4), because previous, genuine choices were botched (sometimes without consciousness) in déjà vu of every other great nation.

Placebo?

Placebo
   “-- a fake treatment [using] an inactive substance like sugar, distilled water, or saline solution --”1
   -- “1 a pill, etc., containing no active substance, given to satisfy a patient or to serve as a control in an experiment ... 2 something said only to flatter or mollify.”2
Considering the recent sugar fraud,3 should we revisit all those science studies that used sugar as the placebo? that refined substance now revealed to be not-so-inactive?

And should we ask ourselves: What else in our cultural consumption4 do we consider as innocuous / inactive, when in consequence it is nothing of the sort? How many, for the sake of gain, are dispensing poisons in disguise?
