"Hell-bent" is exactly correct! The "rainbow mafia" is 1 of Satan's most potent and deadly tools, to drag souls literally to hell with him, for eternity! Whether 1chooses to believe in it, or not, hell is a literal real place, and many today, and throughout history, have chosen or defaulted to spend eternity there, by failing to make a specific choice. It's not a"party place", as many seem to think, but a place of physical and psychological torment, and eternity is a very long time! NO ONE has to wind up there; it's every person's free will to choose where he spends eternity, but there are rules to follow in choosing, as there are in every important area of life. If you would rather not spend eternity in hell, you must make that choice before you take your last breath in this life, recognize, and sincerely repent your sins, and seek Yeshua's redemption (by shedding His pure blood at Calvary, He earned the sole right to purchase your soul back from the just and due punishment for your sins); He is willing and waiting... are YOU???

What you're writing about is hell on earth. We don't have to posit a metaphorical or after-death hell; it already exists in the actual world made by the covidian cult, the climate cult, the diversity cult, and the spooks and other criminals in official positions stealing from our earnings and enslaving us to pay for their hideous experiments. That is the real hell that exists here and now. It doesn't have to be that way, if we all refuse to comply.

No group should have a special month or day. It’s beyond ludicrous. Including crap such as ‘breast cancer awareness month’. As if we’re not all already aware that breast cancer exists. And, no, wearing a pink ribbon, or an NFL team wearing pink shoes, doesn’t do anything to prevent or treat cancer. Cannot people see through these shams?

Nope, and donating to "cancer research" is a waste of your money! There will NEVER be an actual cure, or even effective treatment, for cancer allowed to be marketed! Oncology is very big business, not just doctors, and drugs, but hospitals, all the involved departments in the "care" of cancer patients also profit! None of them are willing to give that up! A lesson I learned clear back in the mid '60s, and nothing has changed in the ensuing 60 yrs, other than tightening the grip of big Pharma on our medical care dollars.

If they were really interested in curing cancer, they would prohibit pesticides and all the other toxins that are used to either de weed crops or make them dry up earlier for harvest. Plus getting SV40 out of the vaccines or better yet, prohibit vaccination of our children unless they are truly at risk for some untreatable illness.

Not to worry. The WEF’s 2008 Trojan horse of Medicaid for all American serf’s who think they are still “middle class” has got this. As he again partakes in providing another Avatar caricature for dopey Democrats to take his fourth four year term in 2024 he only regrets that darn Trump guy in 2016.

Once homogenized with 20 million global illegals that will become 50 million by the reset date of 2030 when most Boomers like myself have met our demise, the Trojan horse operatives will expunge Medicare and Social Security, replaced by his signature mandatory Medicaid under the ruse of democratic sister Socialism, historically overlorded by big brother Communists like the One Democratic Party banner compulsion (think Covid), and just like Hollywood’s “Back to the Future”, everything will be fine.

No more worries about finances, all total asset derivatives will funnel through digital AI to determine the level of stipend you receive for a while for your convenience, minus social credit deductions and taxes after inflationary adjustments are met and you will have nothing and be happy. Nothing personal. The WEF (circa 1971) has already stated that AI will pre determine election outcome, therefore global elections under their control will be moot.

No need for legacy doctors, lawyers, insurance, local pharmacy assurances or media.

Get sick, text Global health Alliance with symptoms, AI diags, Amazon delivers, you die, eugenics satisfied. WEF stake holders Gates, Black Rock, Kellogg’s, Kraft, and a hundred more stake holders born and raised in America have 1.4 billion compulsory customers in China, and 540 million in the EU. They really do not need Americas middle class any longer except for their collective wealth they can steal through taxes and inflation.

hmm well...let's see--- most of "your" people actually are descended from Ashkanazi Jews who became "jews" for inexplicable political reasons in their countries of origins.. And believe me....there is nothing wrong with that.

I know it is confusing...but you must understand this one point:

Judaism is a religion....It is not a race. Got that? there are few--if any genetic lineages involved from the original Hebrew people and none are really provable. As it stands now "your people" are very well off in the United States and have been for some time. Intermarriage is a fact.

Mans inhumanity to man....this is the truth of the matter. And it pertains to all people under the boot of the powerful. History in some ways ....is just one vast race war.

I do not believe gay men or women are treated as second-class citizens anywhere. It is all a bunch of made up bullshit. Made up by the corporation heads, the politicians, people who call themselves leaders of the community. It’s all about getting people to fight against one another. If we are pitted against one another, we cannot come together and overthrow the evil that governs us. It’s time we all wake up, pull our heads out of our asses, and get over the division and the separation. No one is mistreating anyone because they are gay because they are straight because they are married because they are single because they are white because they are green because they are blue.

exactly--i told the director of our retirement center i was tired of hearing about "gay pride" and "pride month" etc.I Like and respect many homosexuals and have always counted them among my friends--I don't care who they have sex with--as long as it is with consenting adults. But that isn't enough apparently--It is now "a badge of honor".Subverting the olympics into a "pride" event was disgusting. The goal is not "tolerance" but subversion of traditional social structures that are the foundations of our lives. I see the huge price paid by children raised in "broken" homes. Instead of learning to respect and abide by cultural norms--they are confused and feel split loyalties. But many are able to adjust anyway...I wonder how conflicted they feel--We are under assault in so many ways.

But they are using it to dismantle the family unit. Not letting parents be parents and raise their children when you question the so called "science."

I agree. When I go to say, “I’m proud of my child, or myself for overcoming challenges, I stop myself and use another term, such as grateful, happy, pleased, relieved, etc. I was taught as a child and teenager to avoid pride. Pride tends to focus on oneself as great, rather than looking outwards. Even being proud of one’s country, as superior to all others, as in “God’s own country,” excludes the wonders of other countries. We can be grateful for blessings, and realise that we are blessed because of the gifts bestowed on us. The sin of pride needs to be restored to its rightful place.

Recently someone asked if we were proud to be Americans, maybe Megan Kelly. I thought about it and just like you realized it's not good to be proud but grateful. I never chose to be an American and certainly had no input in its founding. It was actually God inspiring and helping the founders that made this wonderful American experience possible. I am extremely grateful that God birthed me into an American family. And yes God is involved in other countries as well - especially as people seek Him.

Our country was a beacon of hope to my husband's parents...whose families fled Tzarist Russia when Jews were being burned alive in their synagogues....They were patriots and pro American their entire lives. This country allowed them to go from selling vegetables from a street cart to running a successful factory. My own grandfather was an orphan who received a college education because he slept in the garage of a man who hired him to take care of his lawn....a college professor...took a liking to him and sent him to college where he eventually got a Phd. These things happen here....Maybe they happen everywhere....I don't know. I think there are generous and great people in this country.

I am "proud" of the things I endured to remain "unvaccinated" for three years. I feel it is an accomplishment! I am proud that I have loved and supported others in their times of need whenever it was possible for me to do so at various times in my life. I am "proud" not to be "gene modified" and I am "proud" of every American who has taken a stand against tyranny...often at great cost-- like renowned heart specialist Dr. Peter McCullough who had his medical license revoked.

Am I "proud" of being a heterosexual grandma? Not particularly. Those things just happened to me....like I presume homosexuality happens to others....they are born that way and I accept them. I accept them even if they are not "born that way"....Who cares what they do between consenting adults?

But frankly, I am tired of hearing about this and would like experts to address issues where human rights are really under attack. It is a great crime that our medical associations are aiding parents in mutilating their underage children. This is child abuse.

It is also a "crime" when medical personal encourage and provide drugs to those who "want to die".....this is murder. Most people experience times in their lives when they "wish they were dead"....but when they come out the other side of the darkness...they are glad to be alive....Death is permanent and life is short.

Generally speaking that sort of "pride" is NOT the Biblical sin; it's the "pride" that allows 1 to feel somehow superior to others that is that sin. Supremicism of any sort is evil! It's a false pride based in a desire to lessen others.

Thanks for your words. I couldn't say it to my children either - it was wrong somehow.

That’s nice to hear. I know a lot of people today say they’re proud of this or that and I never correct them, but we can give an example by using better words to describe how pleased we feel. People will even say to me, “You must be proud of your child-children,” and I hope I always say I’m very happy or pleased. However, I remember a couple of times when people who I’ve admired have said (to my parents,) they were proud of me for taking action which was challenging and perhaps against the mainstream, easy option and I’m very thankful they told my parents about it. I think it helped to consolidate the good values they wanted to instil in us as children. This type of pride is quite different from the lasciviousness of some in the gay pride marches though.

Here are some reasons the LGBTQ+ community is using the rainbow as their symbol.

"The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves." —Isaiah 3:9

Blasphemy is their bread and butter: for them the bigger an insult to God can be the more highly it is regarded.

The intention from the rainbow symbolism is to transform the world, on their terms this time, into a gender-less, Godless, wicked society. They covet and strive to birth unnatural abominations into this world and to normalize them as an affront to the creator because they hate God and all He created that is good, right and true. They live to normalize the unnatural and to corrupt sacred innocence.

Those that can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.

Here is one of the many unnatural places we are headed with this reality denying, God hating, depraved insanity - if we do not put a stop to it. Give the devil an inch and he will overrun you in short order—Frog pronouns: https://bitchute.com/video/3dBRYYZyhO6l [55 seconds]

We were never in a "Christian world"....Jesus was above all-- a revolutionary--who defied the authorities and championed the victims. This is often downplayed in our the churches who collect a lot of money for the "poor" and keep it for themselves....Priests, churches, religion is notoriously corrupt. Read Chaucers Canterbury Tales...hilarious chapter on a priest....and that was in 138O...Well nothing has changed. The "temple of God" exists...but only in a person who is devoted to the Creator of heaven and earth. We are divinely designed. "Evolution" does not in any way explain the human being....

Expand full comment

Christ was explicit in teaching that there is no intermediary between God and salvation. One must simply ask for forgiveness to receive it. There is no biblical support or need for an organization, edifice or formality when it comes to being a Christian. So, anyone giving money to a church "on behalf of Jesus" is essentially committing a sin of stupidity and one could even argue blasphemy since that money is so often used, as you say, for corruption. (Chaucer's Tales are awesome btw)

Ruth, I must graciously disagree with your 2nd comment. Jesus came to establish the church as the bulwark and pillar of Truth and as those redeemed to be the salt of the earth and light of the world. Yes salvation is from the Lord alone, but there is no such thing as a biblical model of maintaining one's Christianity that is not connected to other believers. Perhaps for the short term it can function, but the believer not connected to His body becomes open to deception, and ultimately being picked off by the Devil.

Expand full comment

For every statement of truth there must be an opposite statement that negates that truth. If other humans are necessary for one to obtain salvation then explain how others can prevent a righteous man from gaining salvation if the righteous man remains righteous.

Your statement that there is no biblical model of personally maintaining one's Christianity is blasphemy against the New Testament itself because that is exactly what Christ taught. He did not establish kings on Earth nor require others to sanction and sanctify activity. He certainly did not endorse organized religions that hoard wealth or protect sinners such as pedophiles. He did not authorize any sort of reinterpretation of His word such that women can become priests and homosexuals are without sin. These are all the products of what you are referring to as "his body" and it is complete blasphemy. I pray you will reconsider because "organized religion" is nothing more than political power and the house where Satan hides.

I never go to church. I'm indwelled with the Holy Spirit. I abide in Christ and He has given me peace beyond human understanding and victory over sin. I live alone and into the Bible everyday. The Holy Spirit never lead me to a church. I think the state of the church is bad. Not all. I study the Bible through Les Feldick Ministry and on his videos talks many times of retire ministers that confess that didn't know the Bible and only taught in

Matthew,Luke,and John. No resurrection or Apostle Paul. I've heard many minister misquote the Bible. If I found a good church I would go. I'm thinking starting church in home for fellowship and Bible study like in the Old Testament. Remember in Acts Jesus said he was sending Holy Spirit to comfort and TEACH US ALL things! Many,many Christians depend on the Bible and forget the most important Holy Spirit. Jesus said" teach you all things"which I take it to mean even if you don't have a Bible. T.S Linscott said in his book that "The Holy Spirit is the sun and the moon is the Bible. The Bible gets it's light from the Holy Spirit. The printing press was not invented until 15-1600 's. I like to read the Bible and find something I quite don't understand then close the Bible and dwell on it with the Holy Spirit. You never lose faith if you spend time with the Holy Spirit. I live alone on 42 acres and don't see people for weeks and amd rarely felt alone. If I do The Holy Spirit immediately washes it away. How can you not Love the Heavenly Father ,His Son Jesus Christ ,and the Holy Spirit? See ya in Heaven.....

For me the gay pride flag exhibits the mockery of Gods promise to the world, represented by the rainbow, that there would never be another flood, the like that was sent in Noahs time. The mockery is also because God ceated man and woman, there is no other sex, anything else is either imagined in the minds of people, or perhaps even worse is as a result of mass experimentation on the human body, again a mockery of Gods ceation, mankind.

It is a rejection of the sovereignity of God as Creator, King and Sustainer. It makes an idol of mankind who choose to see themselves as the measure of all things.

They forget the rest of that promise, not only to humans, but all life on Earth!

The scriptures tell us "there is a war in heaven"....Satan is caste down to torture and deceive men. It also tells how to discern who are the evil ones:

King James Version

16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

Those horrifying "vaccines" have brought unprecedented damage and disease....and it is not surprising considering where they came from...BIG.Pharma is profoundly corrupt and does not really want people to enjoy health. Because if folks were actually healthy....no one would buy their harmful and contaminated products.

The accusations, sadly were/ are accurate. Human sinners engage in that sin much more than is commonly admitted. Not just clergy, but people in many positions of some authority over the children, including parents!

I think people turned from the churches, not because the clergy sinned, but because THEIR superiors did nothing appropriate about those sins! They saw the utter hypocrisy of "do as I say, not as I do" in the churches, which was not what Yeshua taught; He taught us to do as He does.

But I did not do that and I refuse to be guilty about it. I have enough little things I did do wrong. Not that though. Guilt is pointless and destructive. Righting wrongs is meaningful.

It is wrong that our medical professionals poisoned millions of people. Some of them -- like Fauci-- were clearly aware of this crime as it happened.

In the 1950’s, rates of divorce in the black community was lower than white families. It only took about 75 years for the black urban family to be destroyed by the democrats in urban blue cities. Now woman are wed to the welfare system, men aren’t parenting their kids, and on any given weekend in blue democrat run cities, black teens are killing each other in the streets.

If the white suburban family thinks this agenda can’t come to you- you’re being very naive!!

They are infiltrated the suburban schools with harmful CRT, and gender ideologies… and more important, actively removing parental rights and safeguards! Meant to be there, for parents to protect their kids from harm.

They are very specifically coming after the suburban white affluent child and nuclear family… to destroy it.

“We look in amazement at the processes under way in the countries which have been traditionally looked at as the standard-bearers of progress. Of course, the social and cultural shocks that are taking place in the United States and Western Europe are none of our business; we are keeping out of this.

“Some people in the west believe that an aggressive elimination of entire pages from their own history, ‘reverse discrimination’ against the majority in the interests of a minority, and the demand to give up the traditional notions of mother, father, family and even gender. They believe that all of these are the mileposts on the paths towards social renewal.

“The advocates of so-called ‘social progress’ believe they are introducing humanity to some kind of a new and better consciousness. Godspeed, hoist the flags as we say, go right ahead. The only thing I want to say now is that their prescriptions are not new at all.

“It may come as a surprise to some people, but Russia has been there already. After the 1917 Revolution, the Bolsheviks, relying on the dogmas of Marx and Engels, also said they would change existing ways and customs and not just political and economic ones, but the very notion of human morality and the foundations of a healthy society.

“The destruction of age-old values, religion and relations between people, up to and including the total rejection of family (we had that too), encouragement to inform on loved ones – all this was proclaimed progress, and by the way, was widely supported around the world back then and was quite fashionable, same as today.

“The fight for equality and against discrimination has turned into aggressive dogmatism bordering on absurdity when the works of the great authors of the past – such as Shakespeare – are no longer taught at schools or universities because their ideas are believed to be backwards. The classics are declared backward and ignorant of the importance of gender or race.

“In Hollywood, memos are distributed about proper storytelling and how many characters of what color or what gender should be in movies. This is even worse than the agitprop department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Countering acts of racism is a necessary and noble cause, but the new ‘cancel culture’ has turned it into ‘reverse discrimination,’ that is reverse racism.

“The obsessive emphasis on race is further dividing people, when the real fighters for civil rights dreamed precisely about erasing differences and refusing to divide people by skin color. I specifically asked my colleagues to find the following quote from Martin Luther King: ‘I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by their character.’ This is the true value. However, things are turning out differently there.

“By the way, the absolute majority of Russian people do not think that the color of a person’s skin or their gender is an important matter. Each of us is a human being. That is what matters.

“In a number of western countries, the debate over men’s and women’s rights has turned into a perfect phantasmagoria. Zealots of these new approaches even go so far as to want to abolish these concepts altogether. Anyone who dares mention that men and women actually exist, which is a biological fact, risk being ostracized. ‘Parent number one’ and ‘parent number two,’ and ‘birthing parent’ instead of mother, and ‘human milk’ replacing ‘breast milk’ because it might upset the people who are unsure about their own gender.

“I repeat, this is nothing new; in the 1920s, the so-called Soviet Kulturetraegers also invented some new speak believing they were creating a new consciousness and changing values that way. Not to mention some truly monstrous things when children are taught from an early age that a boy can easily become a girl and vice versa. That is, the teachers actually impose on them a choice we all supposedly have. They do so while shutting the parents out of the process and forcing the child to make decisions that can upend their entire life. They do not bother to consult with child psychologists – is a child at this age even capable of making a decision of this kind?

“Calling a spade, a spade, this verges on a crime against humanity, and it is being done in the name and under the banner of progress. Well, if someone likes this, let them do it. I have already mentioned that, in shaping our approaches, we will be guided by a healthy conservatism.

That was a few years ago, when passions on the international arena were not yet running as high as they are now although, of course, we can say that clouds were gathering even then. Now, when the world is going through a structural disruption, the importance of reasonable conservatism as the foundation for political course has been skyrocketed – precisely because of the multiplying risks and dangers, and the fragility of the reality around us.”

This monumental speech was given by Russian President Vladimir Putin when he met with the members of the Valdai Discussion Club in October of 2021.

Love him or hate him, his words ring true.

Yet, no politician in America has uttered such profound truth.

Quite obviously Mr. Putin is watching the disintegration of a once great culture and society into the same depths of depravity and evil that his nation underwent in the 1920s.

“The most effective way to destroy people, is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of history.” (George Orwell)

All the people worried about ‘the evil Putin’ coming to destroy us need not worry…we are destroying ourselves. As Putin notes, he’s just sitting back and watching it happen. Putin is the least of our problems.

True that.

And the reality is...he opened the churches, sent the people to God, spoke for a whole afternoon with Alexandr Solzhenitsyn two years before Alexandr died. He told Putin to spread the ability of the small areas to run themselves, lessen control, and Putin did. After Alexandr died, Putin took down the name of a big street in Moscow that was the name of a communist and replaced it with Alexandr Solzhenitsyn.

He didn't stop there. By presidential decree he ordered that every h.s. student had to read The Gulag Archipelago before graduation. When a huge monument of those who lost their lives under communism was finished, Putin dedicated it to those who died that it should never happen again.

Now, there's a rumor that he has allegedly signed a decree that all westerners are welcome in Russia if they want to escape what is happening to us. Have to speak Russian and certainly can't take your firearms...the latter is the worst problem...but Russian isn't an easy language to learn. We had it in my h.s. back in Park Ridge (yes I went to school with Hillary Rodham) and now I wish I had taken it all four years.

Thanks! I did not know those things about Putin....our media would have never reported them. The Gulag Archipelago is a monumental achievement and to think he wrote it on scraps of paper hidden in his cell and smuggled out of the prison. He was a giant among us! I think he came briefly to live in the states....Vermont I think and missed his homeland--did not much like us, I guess....and so went back. Russians have a great and deep culture.

Yes, and now Putin has signed a decree that western citizens are welcome in Russia if they seek to escape the filth happening to our countries and they are Godly people. Everyone I've read who has emigrated there has said that food, gasoline and land are cheap and the people are extremely friendly. If you've ever listened to Putin's speeches, he is like what our leaders used to be. Russia is now America in the 1950s whereas we're approached Russia in 1917. God help us with two communists running on Democrat ticket.

This is true, but the fact that Putin is exposing that America is full of the same commies that destroyed Russia in 1917 is the key. Many Americans have emigrated to Russia and have found it like 1950s America...they say gas, land, food are cheap and the people are friendly. You have to be able to support yourself and speak Russian.

I am confused by the need to show flags as a way of demonstrating solidarity. It may have been something to consider when or if some kind of persecution was taking place in the world , and for that clear purpose.

At this point it portrays a kind of virtue signaling or demonstration of political alignment in an environment of intolerance and persecution by the state , state actors , and global powers. It is similar to other times where we generally agree to abhor where people put signs in shop windows or wore emblems on the chests to avoid persecution. It identified those that don’t conform to this practice as the enemy. And so, this flag is a representation of intolerance toward a group that do not show allegiance and submission, for whatever reason.

Some argue that such flags are symbols of acceptance of inclusion. A way of knowing that one is safe in this place.

True inclusion requires no flag, no emblem or symbol . Such a flag is a demonstration of exclusion and intolerance toward anyone or group that does not have the same beliefs.

If i were to flu a flag, it would be a white flag. A flag to just stop the fighting .

White flags are not a sign of peace. To the nefarious they are a sign of surrender.

If one choose to always wave a white flag one chooses to deny that evil exists.

People who believe they can somehow tolerate, placate and beg their way out of being conquered are the same people who believe they can rationalize with a two-year-old about not playing in the street. It is naive, stupid and dangerous. The rainbow warriors fought their way to where they are now and they are not stopping. The only thing that bullies understand is superior resistance.

Well, sure, but you’re kind of missing the point.

I agree with you. Just what is their perceived inequality? These ridiculous flags have ruined rainbows and wearing bright colors for me. I have plenty of gay friends, but I resent the heck out of these flags.

Whenever one tries to get people to pin down, to specify, exactly what makes groups ‘marginalized’, ‘unequal’, etc. - there is never an answer. It’s just words they say.

Because there aren't any such. How do you define what doesn't exist?

I drove up the east coast, went through Vermont to Maine a couple of weeks ago. Most of the churches I passed up there had rainbow flags with messages such as “all are welcome”. We stayed in South Portland and there was a guy wearing a speedo, who had a beard with a Hawaiian lai around his neck doing the hula hoop in the steps of different churches in the mornings when we were taking the kids to the beach. I was tempted to ask him how much the CIA or Soros was paying him to do this.

I think a simple "all are welcome" would be enough.

And hula hoop guy - what happened to basic standards of decency? How did we all used to enforce that?

Most people self- regulated out of personal modesty, decades back. I remember when that was common.

I just saw a snippet of Tucker Carlson on Joe Rogan. He talked about people having self-restraint - that a society can't have laws for everything. I immediately thought of your reply.

All the white flag wavers have been captured. They already turned their four cheeks of pretentious evangelical virtue without effect, so their only recourse was the white flag they projected as peace. The word surrender never entered their minds, nor did they realize the embodiment of their presumed faith had his defenders. That they are not and cannot be God, but merely human with responsibility to choose but without judgement.

REALLY??? a hula hoop? ha ha....I hope people took videos and sent them to his mother....poor fellow. Imagine what could be going on in his mind? When people do these kinds of stunts...best to ignore them. They are desperate for attention....It would be fun to see videos of this....Perhaps you all should have hosed him. After all he was wearing a bathing suit...a little cold water would have put a damper on his display.
