Episode 1,495 - Why The Party Doesn’t Want People To Read Real Literature (AUDIO & VIDEO)

There is an effort to have lesser known authors' works to be read. Fair enough. But, that is a charitable view, because the literature that the Party wants to replace great literature with is that of grievance. There is too clear a pattern of what they do not want us to read vs what they want to force us to read. If you read works from Orwell and Kafka you can recognize the attack on speech, as now shown in Canada where you can be jailed for life for your speech. If you have read Don Quixote, you will recognize in Don Lemon, a man who is trying to save the world from the thing that isn’t the actual problem. If you have read Crime and Punishment, then you will be able to identify the deception of the Party in the headlines. The antidote to this is the greatest factual literature, the Bible, and our minds tuned to the great poets and writers to help us learn how to think.

What does God’s Word say? 

2 Timothy 3:1-5

1 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.

Episode 1,496 - Canada’s Ruling Class has an idea for stopping crime, poverty, disease and bad-think. It’s called “biodigital convergence.” (AUDIO & VIDEO)

Canada’s ruling class has a fascinating idea. They’re jazzed. In 2020, one of their policy committees published a paper called Exploring Biodigital Convergence. Beyond just using biodigital organisms to store data, they want to change our attitudes and the definition of health. Your personal AI will assess your mental health and  custom make drugs for you if you’re sad. We dig into this report because it is a roadmap for what they are planning. Thomas Massi is warning about the central bank digital currency for cattle, and in Oregon, the state is shutting down family farms and providing hotlines for your neighbors to rat you out. 

What does God’s Word say? 

Galatians 6:7-8

7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8 Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.
