Conspiracy Truth--Mainstream Media & Rev 13
 
Check out the video, it is only 10 minutes long but speaks volumes.
Backed up with reports from mainstream media.

Even so, come quickly Lord Jesus!

Where are the black helicopters...

Somebody get Ron a foil hat.

:)

Just kidding.

I wanted to see what it felt like to dismiss something out of hand and make baseless condescending remarks about the author just because it was something I didn't necessarily agree with.

:)

And... FYI... It didn't feel good. I don't see what people get out of it myself. :)

These things are indeed going on and those who are behind it want to move as silently as they can.

If the entirety of what they do were known up front then the people would rise up against it but they present it to us in small "acceptable" bites (via the Hegellian Dialectic) and we take it in, one bite at a time hook, line & sinker.

It is a sad state how we blindly facilitate our own poisons.

I believe that the gov't is going to have more control in the lives of the people. I do not believe it has anything to do with the end-time.. and I do not believe that the chip is the mark of the beast. We are just seeing history repeat itself... can't be the world power forever.. etc.

Indeed... 2 true quotes... authors unverified.

Quote:

A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years.
Quote:

Great nations rise and fall. The people go from bondage to spiritual truth, to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependence, from dependence back again to bondage.

Well I would say that anyones eschatology could survive the concept.

No one said it would repeat itself forever... just as long as man had the opportunity.

So it would appear that at this level He, by his own choice, is not in control.

True?

Because they were. I left home a dispensationalist... and seems like when I got to my destination I soon threw out disp. but remained a futurist.

Would I leave over it today, it's not probable. But, they are no longer Partial, but proponents of fulfilled/apostolic preterism.

True?

He is always in control--by "allowing" things to come to pass & "allowing" people to make choices, isn't he still in control?:hypercoffee

I would see it more as his making a choice to relinquish control.

If He is in control then a country would take the path of his choosing.

Would it not?

I have always been bewildered by the thought of God being in control of such chaos.

To me... if God is in control then things go God's way.

While, again, I do recognize that any control over any particular situation that God does not have is per His decision to relinquish said control.

In an effort to agree with you as much as I can I would say... God is in control of who is in control. :) But whomever is in control is, indeed, in control. :)

Quite possibly. :)

I don't know, I think Canadians are like Americans, the vast majority get thier news from mainstream media, so if it isn't reported there, they won't see it.

Although I will tell you this, while Canada is a larger Physical country that the States, our Economy, & population is one tenth the size, so for that fact alone
most Canadians are naturally "suspicious" of America. (Government, Corporations, not the people!)


Just my take on it.

I get the impression that they are.
Seems like I see a lot more Canadian protests against the NAU, than American.
