If one doesn’t (can’t) believe how far the United States has fallen from its promise and destiny, read the Douglas Valentine book listed in footnote one below, or the dozens of other exposés that tell of things as they really were, really are, and really will be.
Solon: “If ye have suffered the melancholy consequences of your own incompetence, do not attribute this evil fortune to the gods. Ye have yourselves raised[1] these men[2] to power over you, and have reduced yourselves by this course to a wretched state of servitude. Each man among you, individually, walketh with the tread of a fox, but collectively ye are a set of simpletons.[3]For ye look to the tongue and the play of a man's speech and regard not the deed which is done before your eyes.”4
How long will the “tongue and play” of the powerful make us blind to the things they actually do?—blind and deaf to the witnesses and whistle-blowers they mock, suppress, and target for destruction?5
Solon: “Out of the cloud come snow and hail in their fury, and the thunderbolt springeth from the lightning's flash : so from great men ruin issueth upon the state, and the people through their own folly sink into slavery under a single lord. Having raised a man to too high a place, it is not easy later to hold him back : now is the time to be observant of all things."6
This speech, "The President and the Press," was given 27 April 1961 before The American Newspaper Publishers Association. It posed, amongst others matters, the dilemma every administration has faced of balancing openness with security/secrecy concerns. It is a speech for our day:
But the part that may be most déjà vu is this description of the enemy (at minute 9:55):
For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence--on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations. Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed,[1] no secret is revealed. It conducts the Cold War, in short, with a war-time discipline no democracy would ever hope or wish to match.2
Today however, this also describes our own secret governments in nigh every nation, but especially the powerful, imperialist US. The added international woe is the state of the media that has allowed itself to be compromised, cowered, and censored3 by the insatiable forces of power and gain?
A final déjà vu word to POTUS and the Press from this 1961 speech:
It is the unprecedented nature of this challenge that also gives rise to your second obligation--an obligation which I [JFK] share. And that is our obligation to inform and alert the American people--to make certain that they possess all the facts that they need, and understand them as well--the perils, the prospects, the purposes of our program and the choices that we face.
No President should fear public scrutiny of his program. For from that scrutiny comes understanding; and from that understanding comes support or opposition. And both are necessary. I am not asking your newspapers to support the Administration, but I am asking your help in the tremendous task of informing and alerting the American people. For I have complete confidence in the response and dedication of our citizens whenever they are fully informed.
I not only could not stifle controversy among your readers--I welcome it. This Administration intends to be candid about its errors; for as a wise man once said: "An error does not become a mistake until you refuse to correct it." We intend to accept full responsibility for our errors; and we expect you to point them out when we miss them.
Without debate, without criticism, no Administration and no country can succeed--and no republic can survive. That is why the Athenian lawmaker Solon decreed it a crime for any citizen to shrink from controversy. And that is why our press was protected by the First Amendment-- the only business in America specifically protected by the Constitution- -not primarily to amuse and entertain, not to emphasize the trivial and the sentimental, not to simply "give the public what it wants"--but to inform, to arouse, to reflect, to state our dangers and our opportunities, to indicate our crises and our choices, to lead, mold, educate and sometimes even anger public opinion.
This means greater coverage and analysis of international news--for it is no longer far away and foreign but close at hand and local. It means greater attention to improved understanding of the news as well as improved transmission. And it means, finally, that government at all levels, must meet its obligation to provide you with the fullest possible information outside the narrowest limits of national security--and we intend to do it. ...
And so it is to the printing press--to the recorder of man's deeds, the keeper of his conscience, the courier of his news--that we look for strength and assistance, confident that with your help man will be what he was born to be: free and independent.
Let us awake, at last, to our home-grown threats and treasons. Do we even know or care about the Awan Brothers, fusion centers, human trafficking, mind-control programs, food/ climate/ medicine/ vaccine/ financial deceptions, and on and on?
Let us finally recognize (in the mirror) our own worst enemy!
How much empowerment are we contributing by our ignorance of psychopathic traits and structures?
How much are we and others suffering because we are drowning in distractions, oblivion, fear, and confusion?
How will we ever survive if we don't know about or believe in the reality of spiritual warfare—of
» imitation
» infiltration
» co-option
» intimidation
» deception
» secrecy
» conspiracy, and
» the myriad other manoeuvres of the enemy;
AND if we can't bring ourselves to stand informed and united against them?

* New Testament | Revelation 12:9 ~ And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Book of Mormon | 3 Nephi 6:15-16 ~ Now the cause of this iniquity of the people was this—Satan had great power, unto the stirring up of the people to do all manner of iniquity, and to the puffing them up with pride, tempting them to seek for power, and authority, and riches, and the vain things of the world. And thus Satan did lead away the hearts of the people to do all manner of iniquity; Book of Mormon | 1 Nephi 22:23 ~ For the time speedily shall come that all churches which are built up to get gain, and all those who are built up to get power over the flesh, and those who are built up to become popular in the eyes of the world, and those who seek the lusts of the flesh and the things of the world, and to do all manner of iniquity; yea, in fine, all those who belong to the kingdom of the devil are they who need fear, and tremble, and quake; Book of Mormon | Helaman 12:4–5 ~ O how foolish, and how vain, and how evil, and devilish, and how quick to do iniquity, and how slow to do good, are the children of men; yea, how quick to hearken unto the words of the evil one, and to set their hearts upon the vain things of the world! Yea, how quick to be lifted up in pride; yea, how quick to boast, and do all manner of that which is iniquity; and how slow are they to remember the Lord their God, and to give ear unto his counsels, yea, how slow to walk in wisdom's paths!
1. Although Russ Dizdar is a pastor seeking to educate people in recognizing and overcoming the dark-side, it is still imperative that each person sincerely “Prove all things [by their own searching, and] hold fast that which is good.” (New Testament | 1 Thessalonians 5:21) Every one of us, including Dizdar and this writer, is subject to error because of enculturation, misinformation, misinterpretation, misunderstanding, misapprehension, dogma, ideology, deception, etc., even when we think we are discerning right. God tutors and educates us step by step, line upon line, so when Dizdar (and other good, sincere people) claims certain things about other religions, it behooves seekers to “not trust in the arm of flesh” but to read and study for themselves the doctrines (and fruits) of those religions as they are taught (and manifest) by those religions, and not as construed by outsiders or the disaffected. Perhaps this advice can apply to seekers, everywhere:
And when ye shall receive these things [anything given of God?], I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent [to actually listen and accept what is revealed], having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost. And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things. (Book of Mormon | Moroni 10:4-5)
▪ look at our world through the eyes of millions of witnesses testifying via the internet about the crimes and corruptions that are disrupting and destroying life on a scale we could never imagine without those proliferating witnesses;1
▪ listen to PWOCs (Person/People WithOut Conscience) desperately trying to deny and cover-up their “secret plans of old”;2
▪ begin to understand how the reality of spiritual warfare has been denigrated by our rational-, science-, “sense”-based culture so that we are mostly (utterly?) unprepared to face what is coming;3
▪ come to know that the economic system we have nurtured, “loved,” and often (falsely) attributed to God has, in reality, been the perfect breeding (and elevating) ground for psychopaths; as well as the perfect system to convert non-psychopaths to psychopathic behaviors (through competition, temptation, trauma, fear, propaganda, desperation, and so forth); and is amongst the great deceptions fostered by the beast that carries Babylon, the mother of harlots;4
perhaps the research and witness of Dr. Katherine Horton might be helpful for those who care to understand more fully the ancient, proxy modus operandi of the dark side and what is planned for all who resist.
Satan is the “great” psychopath whose whole agenda is to remake mankind in his own image (and those he can't he seeks to destroy). It is truly a secret plan of old—an ancient legacy—that modern-day proxies perpetuate. It's all more déjà vu than we can imagine.5
In the Old Testament Book of Job, we read how one called Satan sought to destroy a “man [who] was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.”*
The pattern was this:
1. devastating financial ruin;1
2. loss of his children / family;2
3. destruction of his health;3
4. loss of the support of his wife;4
5. friends falsely accusing him of wrong-doing, paranoia, etc.;5
6. strangers harassing him;6
7. traumatic dreams, visions, nightmares, confusion, terror, despair;7
8. no one truly listening to / understanding his reasoning and complaints;8
9. no apparent relief, not even when appealing to the highest form of justice (i.e., God).9
With the aid of modern technology, this Job pattern of disrupt and destroy has never been so pervasive and global as in our time. Millions, if not tens of millions, worldwide are becoming targeted individuals (TIs) or associations (TAs) by gang-stalkers as
▪ propaganda, lies, false witness, and moral decay surfeit our world;
▪ compromised / corrupted persons or authorities participate out of fear or favor;
▪ rising unemployment (often deliberately crisis-created) disposes people to become paid dupes or willing / unwilling servants of scripted, unlawful, disrupt and destroy agendas;
▪ free-markets merge with skyrocketing numbers of psychopaths pursuing command and control structures like monopolies and oligopolies;
▪ power elites become frantic to control or destroy anyone opposed to or in competition with their power and gain obsessions;
▪ ethnic-, religious-, or ideological-phobias / malice; and ex-partner hostilities find incredible opportunity for life disruption;
▪ secret combinations team up with the adversary of all good to recreate a world in his image and control;
▪ NWOs (7-headed?) pursue their psychopathic agendas of mind-control;
▪ “WE, the People” allow ourselves: 1) to remain in ignorance of the dire state of our world; 2) to disregard the crimes and injustices of our economic and governmental systems; 3) to be bought and sold like slaves and robots; 4) to remain silent in fear10; and so forth.
Of course, there may be some TIs and TAs whose paranoia is not entirely based in fact, but part of the gang-stalking agenda is to exacerbate disruption and paranoia in subtle, distressing ways that may seem individually innocuous, but in the persistent aggregate are meant to devastate. With the aid of the internet, many witnesses are trying to raise awareness of the “unbelievable”; and to end targeting and bullying.
Could it be that our awareness of and zero tolerance for targeting is vital to saving this world?
Of course, many will dismiss gang-stalking as ridiculous “conspiracy theory,” but when disrupt and destroy agendas11 coincide with historical déjà vus, patterns, and warnings, the willfully ignorant (who are mocked and scorned by psychopathic insiders) will, in time, learn truth by sad experience.
Perhaps, in a campaign to STOP organized harassment, the initial vital steps for most people are: 1) to become aware of this historical (latter-day accelerated) disrupt and destroy agenda; 2) to acknowledge that “we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places”;12 and 3) to seek to access the only protection possible when confronting powers of darkness and spiritual wickedness in high places.
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints (New Testament | Ephesians 6:13-18; bold emphasis added).
NOTE: There are some out there who claim the Law of Attraction governs this gang-stalking “perception.” Do NOT be deceived. There is a First Law of Attraction that supersedes the world's so-called LoA13 that so many deceptively espouse. The superseding First Law of Attraction is this:
The Devil [and his cohorts are] more obsessed with persons striving to do and be good than with persons who are not.
So know this: disrupt and destroy is a universal plan of devils and demons opposite to a Divine Plan for growth in Faith, Hope, and Charity. Each individual's Divine Plan unfolds (or not) as s/he exercises agency in confronting the natural man14 and the demonic powers and promises that entice.
A corollary to this First Law (in a world where psychopaths are obsessed with accumulating ever more power, gain, and control) is that any one who manifests integrity, altruism, independence of thought, spiritual / special gift, or poses any kind of perceived threat to “command and control” agendas will be targeted.
How long till we understand that there is no sure safety or help to be found when we look to the arm of flesh alone?
Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint (Old Testament | Isaiah 40:28–31).

* Old Testament | Job 1:1
Also, Old Testament | Job 1:8 ~ And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? Old Testament | Job 2:3 ~ And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.
1. Old Testament | Job 1:14–17 ~ And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them: And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. 2. Old Testament | Job 1:18–19 ~ While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house: And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. 3. Old Testament | Job 2:7–8 ~ So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown. And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat down among the ashes. Old Testament | Job 30:16-31 ~ And now my soul is poured out upon me; the days of affliction have taken hold upon me. My bones are pierced in me in the night season: and my sinews take no rest. By the great force of my disease is my garment changed: it bindeth me about as the collar of my coat. He hath cast me into the mire, and I am become like dust and ashes. I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear me: I stand up, and thou regardest me not. Thou art become cruel to me: with thy strong hand thou opposest thyself against me. Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to ride upon it, and dissolvest my substance. For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living. Howbeit he will not stretch out his hand to the grave, though they cry in his destruction. Did not I weep for him that was in trouble? was not my soul grieved for the poor? When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness. My bowels boiled, and rested not: the days of affliction prevented me. I went mourning without the sun: I stood up, and I cried in the congregation. I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owls. My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat. My harp also is turned to mourning, and my organ into the voice of them that weep. 4. Old Testament | Job 2:9 ~ Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die. 5. Old Testament | Job 4:7–9 ~ [Eliphaz:] Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off? Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same. By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed. Old Testament | Job 8:2–6 ~ [Bildad:] How long wilt thou speak these things? and how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a strong wind? Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert justice? If thy children have sinned against him, and he have cast them away for their transgression; If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty; If thou wert pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous. Old Testament | Job 11:2–3, 13–14 ~ [Zophar:] Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man full of talk be justified? Should thy lies make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed? ... If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him; If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles. Old Testament | Job 15:2–6 ~ [Eliphaz:] Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind? Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches wherewith he can do no good? Yea, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God. For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty. Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yea, thine own lips testify against thee. Old Testament | Job 18:2–4 ~ [Bildad:] How long will it be ere ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak. Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight? He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his place? Old Testament | Job 22:5, 21-23 ~ [Eliphaz”] Is not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities infinite? ... Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee. Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart. If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles. Old Testament | Job 34:35–37 ~ [Elihu:] Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom. My desire is that Job may be tried unto the end because of his answers for wicked men. For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God. Old Testament | Job 12:4 ~ [Job:] I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: the just upright man is laughed to scorn. 6. Old Testament | Job 30:1, 8–15 ~ [Job:] BUT now they that are younger than I have me in derision, ... They were children of fools, yea, children of base men: they were viler than the earth. And now am I their song, yea, I am their byword. They abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to spit in my face. Because he hath loosed my cord, and afflicted me, they have also let loose the bridle before me. Upon my right hand rise the youth; they push away my feet, and they raise up against me the ways of their destruction. They mar my path, they set forward my calamity, they have no helper. They came upon me as a wide breaking in of waters: in the desolation they rolled themselves upon me. Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue my soul as the wind: and my welfare passeth away as a cloud. 7. Old Testament | Job 7:11, 13–15, 20; 10:15 ~ [Job:] Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul. ... When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint; Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions: So that my soul chooseth strangling, and death rather than my life. ... I am a burden to myself? ... I am full of confusion; 8. Old Testament | Job 19:2-3, 5-22 ~ [Job to his “friends”:] How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces with words? These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not ashamed that ye make yourselves strange to me. ... If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach: Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed me with his net. Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but there is no judgment. He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths. He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head. He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and mine hope hath he removed like a tree. He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me unto him as one of his enemies. His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp round about my tabernacle. He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are verily estranged from me. My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me. They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight. I called my servant, and he gave me no answer; I intreated him with my mouth. My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for the children's sake of mine own body. Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me. All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me. My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth. Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me. Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh? Old Testament | Job 21:1–3; 34 ~ [Job:] ... Hear diligently my speech, and let this be your consolations. Suffer me that I may speak; and after that I have spoken, mock on. ... How then comfort ye me in vain, seeing in your answers there remaineth falsehood? 9. Old Testament | Job 16:9–14, 16, 20 ~ [Job:] ... mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me. They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered themselves together against me. God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked. I was at ease, but he hath broken me asunder: he hath also taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark. His archers compass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground. He breaketh me with breach upon breach, he runneth upon me like a giant. ... My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death; ... My friends scorn me: but mine eye poureth out tears unto God.
To read the full of Job's complaints, see particularly chapters 3, 6-7, 9-10, 12-13, 16-17, 18-21, 23-24, 26-31. 10. New Testament | 2 Timothy 1:7 ~ For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 11. http://dejavu-timestwo.blogspot.ca/2017/02/disrupt-and-destroy.html 12.

New Testament | 1 Corinthians 2:14–16 ~ But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. Book of Mormon | Mosiah 3:19 ~ For the natural man is an enemy to God, and has been from the fall of Adam, and will be, forever and ever, unless he yields to the enticings of the Holy Spirit, and putteth off the natural man and becometh a saint through the atonement of Christ the Lord, and becometh as a child, submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him, even as a child doth submit to his father.
There are many things of ill repute, ... ----things that would affix a lasting stain to the brightest of lives,----which parents themselves point out and hand on to their sons. If the aged father delights in ruinous play, his heir too gambles in his teens, and rattles the selfsame weapons in a tiny dice-box. If a youth has learnt from the hoary gluttony of a spendthrift father to peel truffles, to preserve mushrooms, and to souse beccaficoes in their own juice, none of his relatives need expect better things of him when he grows up. As soon as he has passed his seventh year, before he has cut all his second teeth, though you put a thousand bearded preceptors on his right hand, and as many on his left, he will always long to fare sumptuously, and not fall below the high standard of his cookery.
[So, w]hen [a POTUS] delights in the sound of a cruel flogging, deeming it sweeter than any siren's song, and being himself a very [tyrant] to his trembling household, is he inculcating gentleness, and leniency to slight faults: does he hold that the bodies and souls of [non-USians] are made of the same stuff and elements as our own; or is he inculcating cruelty, never happy until he has summoned a torturer, and he can brand some one with a hot iron for [being an immigrant, refugee, Mexican, Muslim, journalist, etc.)? What counsel does [a POTUS] give to his [subjects] when he revels in the clanking of a chain, and takes wondrous pleasure in branded [opponents], in prisons and his country bridewell? ... no evil example corrupts us so soon and so rapidly as one that has been set at home, since it comes into the mind on high authority. Here and there perhaps a [subject] may decline to follow the bad example: one whose soul [God] has fashioned with kindlier skill and of a finer clay; but the rest are led on by the [POTUS'] steps which they should avoid, and are dragged into the old track of vice which has so long been pointed out to them.
Abstain therefore from things which you must condemn: for this there is at least one all-powerful motive, that our crimes be not copied by our [subjects]. For we are all of us teachable in what is base and wrong; ... Let no foul word or sight cross the threshold within which there is a [POTUS]. Away with you, ye hireling damsels! Away with the songs of the night-revelling parasite! If you have any evil deed in mind, you owe the greatest reverence to the young [USians]; disregard not tender years, and let your infant [USians] stand in the way of the sin that you propose. For if some day or other [they] shall do a deed deserving the censor's wrath, and shall show [themselves] like to you, not in form and face only, but also your child in vice, and following in all your footsteps with sin deeper than your own, you will doubtless rebuke [them] and chide [them] angrily .... But how can you assume the grave brow and the free tone of [a past-POTUS] if you in your old age are doing things worse than [they] did, and your own empty pate has long been needing the windy cupping-glass? ...
No human passion has mingled more poison-bowls, none has more often wielded the murderous dagger, than the fierce craving for unbounded wealth. For the man who wants wealth must have it at once; what respect for laws, what fear, what sense of shame is to be found in a miser hurrying to be rich? ... it is purple raiment, whatever it be, foreign and unknown to us, that leads to crime and wickedness." ...
Some day you will say, 'I never taught these things, I never advised them': no, but you are yourself the cause and origin of your [subjects'] depravity; for whosoever teaches the love of wealth turns his [subjects] into misers by his ill-omened instruction. When he shows [them] how to double [their] patrimony by fraud, he gives [them their] head, and throws a free rein over the car; try to call [them] back, and he cannot stop: [they] will pay no heed to you, [they] will rush on, leaving the turning-post far behind. No man is satisfied with sinning just as far as you permit: so much greater is the license which they allow themselves!2
Why is it that almost everywhere in America, we see the unbridled pursuit, praise, and exhibiting of excess wealth?
Why do we delude ourselves that the appearance of wealth is the same as wealth?
How long this obsessive pursuit of purple raiment3 at the expense of values and Constitutional principles?

21 And [the secret combinations] have caused the destruction of this people of whom I am now speaking, ... 22 And whatsoever nation shall uphold such secret combinations, to get power and gain, until they shall spread over the nation, behold, they shall be destroyed; ... 23 Wherefore, ... it is wisdom in God that these things should be shown unto you, that thereby ye may repent of your sins, and suffer not that these murderous combinations shall get above you, which are built up to get power and gain—and the work, yea, even the work of destruction come upon you, yea, even the sword of the justice of the Eternal God shall fall upon you, to your overthrow and destruction if ye shall suffer these things to be. 24 Wherefore, the Lord commandeth you, when ye shall see these things come among you that ye shall awake to a sense of your awful situation, because of this secret combination which shall be among you; or wo be unto it, because of the blood of them who have been slain; for they cry from the dust for vengeance upon it, and also upon those who built it up. 25 For it cometh to pass that whoso buildeth it up seeketh to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations, and countries; and it bringeth to pass the destruction of all people, for it is built up by the devil, who is the father of all lies; ... 26 Wherefore, I ... am commanded to write these things that evil may be done away, and that the time may come that Satan may have no power upon the hearts of the children of men, but that they may be persuaded to do good continually, that they may come unto the fountain of all righteousness and be saved.[2]
Ready or not, much more is on the horizon than a NWO or a NAC3—unless perhaps those stand for NumbingWO-WO-WO (as in New Testament Revelation, etc.4) or for New American Catastrophe!

Book of Mormon | Ether 8:21-26 (Bold emphasis added; full text available at https://www.lds.org/scriptures/bofm/ether?lang=eng); see also: Book of Mormon | Helaman 7:4-6 ~ And seeing the people in a state of such awful wickedness, and those Gadianton robbers filling the judgment–seats—having usurped the power and authority of the land; laying aside the commandments of God, and not in the least aright before him; doing no justice unto the children of men; Condemning the righteous because of their righteousness; letting the guilty and the wicked go unpunished because of their money; and moreover to be held in office at the head of government, to rule and do according to their wills, that they might get gain and glory of the world, and, moreover, that they might the more easily commit adultery, and steal, and kill, and do according to their own wills—Now this great iniquity had come upon the [people], in the space of not many years; 3.

New Testament | Revelation 8:13 ~ And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!

Considering the selection of so many Goldman Sachsers1 by the newest POTUS D.J. Trump, it seems timely to re-post this observation from August 2, 2013.2

The Gods must have an infinite sense of irony to have inspired the naming of this modern behemoth. Is this not the latest, perfect symbol of ten-thousand déjà vus since the days of Cain?
Is this what we champion with our capital addictions?
Isn’t this the inevitable legacy of Randians [and Trumpites]?
Isn’t there a better option? like maybe a third way? not right or left, but UP?3
"The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us." (OT:Ecclesiastes 1:9-10)
"Dwell in the past and you'll lose an eye. Forget the past and you'll lose both eyes." (Old Russian Proverb)

▪ Life is a three-act drama with pre-mortal, mortal, and post-mortal stages. ▪ The second act boils us down toward test one:[1] the test of power. ▪ Abusers of power lose it in Act Three when justice and equity take the bench. ▪ Tipping points happen—over time and a fulcrum. ▪ Motes and beams are everywhere.[2] ▪ Folly is a shadow of every ism, including capitalism. ▪ Money talks louder than morals—all the way to the tipping point. ▪ The direction you are facing, matters.[3] ▪ Extremism in the defense of liberty is extremism.[4] ▪ When the blind follow the blind, it is time to blow the whistle.[5] ▪ Opposites attract the same lobbyists. ▪ Solon of Athens espoused, “Nothing in excess;” laissez-faire capitalists pursue “Everything in excess” (except the costs of gross profit). ▪ “Simplify” displayed on the counter-top of a new 21,000 sq. ft. home does not compute. ▪ High fructose corn syrup is not the staff of life. Unfortunately, sweets can twirl your teeth. ▪ Revolving doors between government and business do not admit sufficient fresh air. ▪ The common good doesn’t seem to be very common. ▪ N. American football is a testosterone pageant in tights.[6] ▪ Exploitation is a delusion of grandeur. Stewardship is a grander conclusion. ▪ The excesses of major religions occur when members fail their espoused values. The excesses of ideological tyrannies occur when tyrants act upon theirs.[7] ▪ Praise is best deflected toward God. ▪ Too many who say, “I do, I do,” don’t. ▪ Electronic media has become the Roman Coliseum of the 21st Century. ▪ The First Law of Attraction[8]: the Devil is more obsessed with persons striving to do and be good than with persons who are not. ▪ The trans-rational[9] is beyond most of us, so if it’s “turtles all the way down,”[10] maybe it is “revelation all the way up.”[11] ▪ Egoism accounts for 80% of human problems. The remaining 27% lies with rhetoric and propaganda.
In the near words of Groucho Marx, “These are my [views]; if you don’t like them, I have others.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [1]New Testament: Matt. 4:2-4—The first temptation presented to Jesus, to misuse His power to satisfy self-interest/-will/-gratification. [2] Ref: Matthew 7:3-5 [3]Old Testament: Jer. 32:33 [4] A Barry Goldwater phrase “Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.” A phrase applauded by some of the GOP. (Suggestion: reverse liberty and justice to see if it sounds more palatable, or is the latter half merely castor-oil for the first?)

[7] Ref: Ravi Zacharias [8] Ref: Adam & Eve; Biblical Job; Jesus in the Wilderness; CS Lewis’ Screwtape Letters, etc., etc., etc. [9] Ref: Flatland by Edwin Abbott. In summary, circles, squares and other flatlanders can’t get a fix on spheres and cubes; can’t quite reason themselves into the properties of those in 3-D space. Enlightenment of things beyond (i.e., trans-) Flatland takes condescension from those above & beyond. Any parallels here in 3-D? [10]Google this phrase if you have not heard of it. It’s just one way of saying we don’t have a rational explanation for some things. [11] Conditional on the will of the Revelator and the willingness/ ability of the revelatee to receive.
