17:05 “What surprised me is how careless we have been over the last ten or maybe twenty years, because the encroachment of our individual rights has been going on for a lot longer. This is just maybe the final stage of this plan.”

2020 IN REVIEW: THE BIG PICTURE
This is my annual Big Picture Brief focusing not only on the significant happenings of the past year but also the persistent long-term threats that are still looming, which we tend to lose sight of, especially when buried by all the media hype promoting this never-ending false pandemic. This constant diversion of our attention is purposeful and meant to ensure we are unprepared for what is coming, and totally dependent on the more ruthless forms of martial law and emergency orders that will sweep aside what is left our liberties by the time WWIII descends upon this nation. We are now being totally conditioned to allow our personal liberty to be overridden by petty medical tyrants, someday to be replaced by wartime military and then civilian dictators. The year 2020 will go down as the year in which the vast majority of Americans gave up their liberty without a fight, having been tricked into thinking they were “all in this together,” dawning worthless masks, begging for bailouts, and acting more like lemmings going over the cliff that than sovereign individuals with fundamental rights worth fighting for. In short, we have now crossed the point of no return where conservatives will never win another national election again. Election fraud has now put us in a permanent minority position, which in a winner-take all system of democracy doesn’t bode well for restoring the Republic.

2020 IN REVIEW: THE BIG PICTURE
[…]
How did this false pandemic happen?
Let me assure you this phony pandemic didn’t destroy our liberty overnight. Its conditions were set decades ago when we allowed the lure of free public education to capture America’s children and systematically indoctrinate them in social justice, political correctness, evolution, and false promises of what government power can do to create equality and a more “just world,” without freedom and judgment.
This past winter the world began to change before our very eyes as the specter of an unknown global pandemic struck fear into the hearts of men. Lockdowns and closures – unthinkable in modern America – reshaped our lives overnight.
[…]
The events of this past year exposed a festering disease which has long-been weakening our body politic to the point that we now struggle to summon the necessary strength to restore our health. Things were not going well before 2020, but much of the country was oblivious.
One hundred and ninety years ago, a French writer sailed across the Atlantic to try and understand this bold new experiment called America. Alexis de Tocqueville wanted to see what sort of people could found and sustain a nation which was unlike any other in the history of the world.
He was not primarily interested in saving souls or defending any one particular church or denomination. But he, like our founding fathers, noted one fundamental reality about this new form of representative democracy. It would collapse, he said, if the people abandoned their Christian faith.
Christianity was the glue that held the nation together – the common set of values that justified the equality of all mankind under God. It provided a moral framework that protected individual liberties, while instilling a sense of moral duty to our fellow man. Without this foundation, Tocqueville predicted that a secular representative democracy would create citizens who were hyper individualist, preoccupied with material gain and willing to trample the Natural moral laws of the universe if they could only secure a tyrannical majority. Might would become right in the absence of a higher authority.
America’s religious institutions have been weakening for several generations now. Church attendance is falling, and many younger Americans know next to nothing about Christianity. We can no longer afford to neglect our churches and our prayers. Our children must be forged in faith and a deep love for God whose commands transcend all state and earthly powers.
Without this we cannot possibly save our souls, let alone the heart of this great nation.
Government spending went through the roof when women got the right to vote in state after state. Different states gave women the right to vote at different times.
“If only men voted, Republicans would have won every presidential election except ’64 since like 1950.”
People have lost touch with reality. Something is seriously wrong with the psyche of many Americans!

John Hinderaker: A survey shows that the average person thinks 9% of people have died from covid. If that were to be true, we would all personally know many who have died from covid, which isn’t true. In reality, only a tiny fraction of 1% have died from covid:
“I mentioned there is this survey in which the average answer that Americans gave to ‘what percentage of our population has died from covid,’ the average answer is 9%. If 9% of the people in this country died from covid, your relatives, your friends, your neighbors, your coworkers, people who go to your church, they would all be dropping like flies.
How a person can simultaneously say ‘I don’t know anybody who’s died from Covid…,’ but then when asked that question, ‘I think 9% of the population has died,’ I don’t know how anybody could possibly believe that.
There used to be such a thing as common sense, based upon a person’s own experience. If somebody came along and tried to sell a line of B.S., the average person would test that proposition against his experience and his observation and he might say ‘I don’t think so. That’s not the way I see it. That hasn’t been my experience.’ It seems as if that’s just gone. Now it’s the guys in the white coats, headlines, something we heard on cable news. And there are many people who have seemed to obtain this ability to internalize those things without checking it against their own common sense, which I think if very dangerous.”
When a comedian’s jokes are so true that laughing is almost impossible.
I’m going to miss JP when Google finds out that he’s not actually kidding.
I transcribed key quotes:
“Whoever controls the media controls the population. And that’s us. We’re the elite. We control the media, and therefore, we control you.”
“That’s why we make up rules to ‘protect people.’ They clearly don’t, because they’re not designed to protect people. They’re engineered to give us control over people.”
“Do you know what the feeling’s like knowing everyone is putting on a mask to cover their identity just to go into a store and we’re not even there, but they’re doing it anyway? That’s how much control we have over them. It’s intoxicating!”
“Some say it’s kind of like playing God…. It is playing God. In fact, it’s actually more than playing God, because God doesn’t control people. He gives them free will. We do control people….”
“Are the masses of people scared of the virus or what the virus has done? No, even though they think they are. They’re scared of what we’ve told them the virus is, what it has done, and what it will do. Essentially, we want to keep you scared 24/7, even while you sleep. So again, why do we want you scared? So we can control you, because we love control, not you.”
“Getting people to get injected with something is controlling. … But getting people to get injected with something that they don’t want to get injected with is so much more controlling. And that’s what we’re kind of doing here.”
“We also strengthen the venom of control circulating in people by getting them to do what they know is harmful to them. Like we tell people ‘sunlight kills the virus, so stay inside.’ And when they submit to that, even though they know what they’re submitting to doesn’t make any sense and is harmful to them, they’re betraying themselves and becoming more loyal to us, which means we have more control over them than they do. And that’s a win. And in the same vein, we also like to tell people ‘if you’re overweight you’re at high risk, so we’re going to close down all the gyms for your protection,’ and then they don’t exercise.”
“Another strategy that helps volumize the amount of control we have over people is that we prey on the most scared people to get them to police the unscared people. Ever see someone yelling at someone else for not wearing a mask. … We’re controlling them to control you. It’s control squared.
I think it was Einstein who had the breakthrough equation E = MC2. The ‘C’ stands for control. The ‘M’ is for masses, and the ‘E’ is for elite. Elite = Masses Controlled squared, simple math.”
“Will a heroin addict ever feel like they have enough heroin? Probably not. Will we ever feel like we have enough control over you? Probably not. So we’ll gladly continue taking more control if you keep letting us.”
“I’ll pose the question in a way as though I’m open minded enough to change my mind if you have a well thought out answer, but the truth is I’m already rejecting your answer; even though, I haven’t heard it yet.” – JP Sears
“I grew up in a more moral society. You had to look yourself in the mirror, which meant you had to have not done anything wrong. But today, you can’t look yourself in the mirror unless you’ve ripped somebody off. … You don’t feel good about yourself unless you’ve ripped somebody off.”

Paul Craig Roberts, age-81 was the United States Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Economic Policy under President Ronald Reagan.
Jim Caviezel dramatizes this portion of Ronald Reagan’s ‘A Time for Choosing’ speech, making some key changes about pastors accommodating during Covid-19, noted here:
Now let’s set the record straight. There’s no argument over the choice between peace and war, but there’s only one guaranteed way you can have peace — and you can have it in the next second — surrender.
Admittedly, there’s a risk in any course we follow other than this, but every lesson of history tells us that the greater risk lies in appeasement, and this is the specter our well-meaning [Christian] liberal friends [our priests, biships and pastors] refuse to face — that their policy of accommodation is appeasement, and it gives no choice between peace and war, only between fight or surrender. If we continue to accommodate, continue to back and retreat, eventually we have to face the final demand — the ultimatum. And what then — when Nikita Khrushchev has [Satanists] told his people [the people of this world] he knows what] our answer will be? He has told them that we’re retreating under the pressure of the [his] Cold War, and someday when the time comes to deliverthe[his] final ultimatum, our surrender will be voluntary, because by that time we will have been weakened from within spiritually, morally, and economically. He believes this because from our side he’s heard voices pleading for “peace at any price” or “better Red than dead,” or as one commentator put it, he’d rather “live on his knees than die on his feet.” And therein lies the road to war, because those voices don’t speak for the rest of us.
You and I know and do not believe that life is so dear and peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery. If nothing in life is worth dying for, when did this begin — just in the face of this enemy? Or should Moses have told the children of Israel to live in slavery under the pharaohs? Should Christ have refused the cross? Should the patriots at Concord Bridge have thrown down their guns and refused to fire the shot heard ’round the world? The martyrs of history were not fools, and our honored dead who gave their lives to stop the advance of the Nazis didn’t die in vain. Where, then, is the road to peace? Well it’s a simple answer after all.
You and I have the courage to say to our enemies, “There is a price we will not pay.” “There is a point beyond which they [evil] must not advance.”
“In the words of Reagan, ‘evil is powerless if the good are not afraid.'”
32:30 “99% of men in America are watching pornography weekly. A lot of these girls are dead from suicide. Jesus said if you look at a woman in lust you should stab your … eye out.” – Owen Benjamin
Jesus in Mt. 5:27-30
“You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.”
2020: the year in which billionaire megalomaniacs, who openly discuss their desire to depopulate the planet, convince the majority of people that they must throw away their futures, and the freedoms of future generations, because they want to save our lives from a ‘virus’ with a 99.75% recovery rate.
A main reason for the fall of men, now that technology has made it so easy for men to privately lust after women, whom God made so visually attractive. The lust demons then enter, driving lust, and many never get free, being falsely taught by many also-lusting pastors that we don’t have to.
PORNOGRAPHIC MOVIES AND PICTURES
Adultery, fornication and sexual lust have become common in this world. But the BIG ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM is PORNOGRAPHY. People are HUNGRY for it, thirsty for it. They are swallowing it down like water, never satisfied, never able to quench their thirst, ALWAYS CRAVING MORE AND MORE of that deadly poison.
This portal of hell has taken over our homes, it is now abducting our kids, living in their pockets, clinging to them in their mobile phones, readily available for any moment of weakness. It has taken over their minds, infested their innocence, it has made them preys to his demons and victims of the devil. …
Fathers have forsaken their love for their wives and kids. They have exchanged it for their computers, dragged there by their lust and thirst for DIRTY FLESH, opening this portal of evil on their homes. They then wonder why there are bad things happening to their homes, depression, anger, anxiety, unfaithfulness, rebellion and hate, they wonder why they are not able to love and sacrifice for their wives as Christ sacrificed for His Church. They let demons get into their homes not knowing they are RESPONSIBLE and ACCOUNTABLE.
Even wives are also becoming slaves to this portal of demons, not satisfied with their husbands, lusting silently over other men, cheating in their suggestive and imaginative minds, forever curious, not submitting to their husbands in love.
What only 30 years was unavailable has invaded our countries, societies, homes, all the way down to our minds, spirits and souls. What was destined to be a Holy temple of the Holy Spirit has become a filthy desecrated temple.
Human beings have turned into what the devil wants them to be, OBJECTS, VOID OF THEIR TRUE VALUE. Pure demonic influence has led people to forsake God, to hate Him and His Holiness, to rebel against THE ONE who gave them their life.
You may think it is all cool and nice, but it won’t be cool for you in hell and torment. It won’t be cool when you discover that it was the devil’s portal of evil that was SUCKING THE LIFE OUT OF YOU, that IT WAS ALL his TRAP to drag you along with your family and kids down to the very pits of hell. It won’t be VERY COOL down there where the fires of hell will devour you for eternity. It won’t be very cool to live with that regret and remorse, forever and ever and EVER.
You who are addicted to pornography, you are an ignorant victim but you are also ACCOUNTABLE, because you LET YOURSELF be deceived and dragged by what you KNEW deep down WAS WRONG. It is the reason why you have always HIDDEN IT for fear of being EXPOSED by the light of the Holiness of a RIGHTEOUS GOD. But no, you CHOSE to believe the lies of the devil, that we are born this way, that it is ok, that we are only human, that we cannot help it. You have CHOSEN to believe the devil who turned evil into good and good into evil. You have chosen to give your soul to the devil and you have delivered your family into the hands of sexual demons that will destroy them. You have chosen to believe the devil who told you: “DON’T WORRY ABOUT IT, YOU SURELY WILL NOT DIE” …
Shutting down churches is a clear violation of the First Amendment and God’s mandate to meet together.
Is this why most pastors are lying down without saying one word — the “love of money?”
If pastors obeyed God by doing and teaching what the Bible actually says, we would have had revival years ago, and there wouldn’t be a shortage of funds for those truly biblical.

Should Americans know which churches received COVID-19 stimulus loans?
Jun 28, 2020
“..American Atheists estimated that more than $6 billion in stimulus funds went to houses of worship. The current funding drama stems from the Small Business Administration’s paycheck protection program, which was launched in response to the coronavirus pandemic. It offers forgivable loans of up to $10 million to businesses with fewer than 500 employees.”
A factor not many talk about: “the love of money” incentivizing Americans to accept unconstitutional shutdowns and draconian measures that are destroying America!

Why There Is No Grassroots Demand to Reopen the Country
You know what I misjudged? I misjudged the amount of money we were giving people in COVID-19 relief legislation. It wasn’t as bad as I thought. We were paying people a significant amount of money not to work. And that’s the one thing that’s been missing in this entire shutdown even though we’ve reopened. The one thing that was missing was a national demand on the part of the American people to open it back up. That troubles me. And it troubled me when I realized it.
There isn’t, there hasn’t been a nationwide demand to reopen the country. Grassroots, I mean. And I have come to the conclusion that there will only be a grassroots push to reopen the country when people stop making more money staying at home than by going to work. I think the number I saw, two-thirds of the people receiving unemployment compensation under the COVID relief bills that are out there, two-thirds of them are making more, they’re getting more than they were earning at their jobs.
Pornography is deployed today as a psyop or mind weapon: to pacify, control, brutalize, and ultimately enslave the masses.
“We corrupt in order to rule.” — Italian Freemason Giuseppe Mazzini
TURNING MEN INTO SWINE
How do you take a nation of free and independent citizens and turn them into slaves? How do you do this slowly and imperceptibly, without violence, and with the willing participation of the slaves-to-be?
The answer is simple.
You corrupt them, undermine them, deprave them, demoralize them, until they have acquired all the characteristics of slaves.
As the sorceress Circe, with a wave of her magic wand, turned the followers of Ulysses into grunting swine, you can wield your weapon of mass hypnosis, the media, over a nation and transform its citizens into willing slaves. You can learn to roboticize man and turn him into a living machine. This is power. This is what it must feel like to be God — or the Devil.
Is there a secret weapon or “magic wand” for turning men into swine? Yes, there is. Sex is the secret weapon, the magic device, that turns men into swine.
“In 1968-69, 100,000 Americans died from the flu that year. That’s equivalent today to 165,000 Americans. Nothing closed down. … We didn’t have a 24/7, lying, hysterical thing called media.” – Dennis Prager (source)
What would it be like if you stopped thinking for yourself and believed everything the media tells you? Here’s what it might look like to be completely brainwashed by the news.
[Smiling] “People are freaking out right now, like they’re tired of having their constitutional rights taken away with the mandatory stay-at-home orders. Cities are suing the California governor so their people can go back to their beaches again. Idiots. I’ll stay at home for the rest of my life if they tell me to.”
“Who knows how to make the best choices for my health and my life. Definitely not me. So I’m more than happy to put my blind trust in power hungry politicians and definitely uncorrupt groups like the World Health Organization. I think they know what’s best for me”
“..this new scientific data [covid deaths only 0.1-0.2%] is irrelevant to me because it’s like I already made up my mind when I was the most frightened. And I’m going to keep believing what makes me the most frightened, because it justfeels more congruent in my being that way.”
“I also spend a lot of time looking for information that they shoved in my face that confirms my existing beliefs. There’s nothing like a little confirmation bias to help my mind continue to learn and expand.”
“It’s pretty well proven that being proactive and taking care of your health won’t keep you healthy. Our only hope is in the pharmaceutical companies protecting us. They have a very good track record of never harming anyone, so I sleep pretty good at night.”
[I skipped the excellent Bill Gates section, that shines as a whole.]
“The mainstream narrative helps me classify anyone that doesn’t go along with its narrative as an ‘irresponsible, lunatic, conspiracy theorist.’ That way I can label them as ‘crazy,’ rather than thinking about what they’re saying.”
“Thinking for yourself and making your own choices is dangerous in a time like this. Oh, is that a blue pill [picks it up, which was sitting next to the red pill this entire video]?!”
I finally found the percentages of Americans on psych drugs. This means there is almost a one-in-three chance that an adult age-25-64 is on psych drugs. So it’s not surprising that people often don’t emotionally act the way we would expect, given that many have what experts say is like a chemical lobotomy, which many of these drugs produce.
I did the math, using the grand total figure below for all ages and the 2017 population, and got 24.68% — one in four people!
Total number of people age 25-64 is 180,747,125. With 55,252,763 using comes to 30.57%, or 31% — one in three!
The percentage for the age group 45-65 is higher yet.
“‘..beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.’ Then they understood that He did not say to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees” (Mt. 16:11-12).
Jesus confronted them, saying, “You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you will do” (John 8:44).
“I know your works, oppression, and your poverty (but you are rich), and the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews, and they are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. – Revelation 2:9
Paul said:
“As concerning the gospel, they [the Jews] are enemies for your sakes….” – Rom. 11:28
