America's Hope and A Dawning of A New Age

The pundits would have you believe that the world's hope is to stop the consumption of fossil fuels immediately. They warn us that the changes we see now in the world are only going to get worse. They threaten to control us in every way. I am admittedly frightened by the words they speak. They dictate that only they can have what we have now. They tell us that we need to radically change our way of life. They want us all to live in boxes with only assigned elements.

The children and young adults have been brainwashed into believing that if they surrender control to them it will be alright. America's hope is not in the garbage that the Weather Channel and those environmental pundits are now pushing on us. The dawning of a new age will be a dark time if everything they want to push is put into practice. I admittedly fear for my young relatives and thank God that I don't have any of my own.

The facts are that God is in control of everything. We are fools to think that he doesn't have any say or that we can control the weather. It is the new manta though for everyone that we need to follow the harsh dictates of the radical environmentalists and worship the sun, moon, earth and heavens. Yes, it is true these environmentalists are making a cult of these socialistic dictates. They want everyone to bow down to them. It's not going to happen. There are those of us who believe that America's hope should be in the God of the Universe and in his son Jesus Christ. It is in him that we have our being and we have all been created by him to do his perfect will.

Losing Our Freedoms: Being Locked in A Socialist Prison

I've been absent from this blog for a little while now. A lot has happened and I'm still processing it. Yesterday I watched a 2nd amendment rally where most of the people were peacefully protesting. I didn't see any violence, even though it was expected. There was a lot of propaganda that unsuccessfully tried to portray the protesters as criminals.

When we continue to remain silent, we lose our freedoms. Some of us are quite willing to sacrifice freedom for safety. Yet when it comes right down to it, we actually lose both freedom and safety. What message are we sending to criminals when we enact laws that restrict our safety? Why would criminals voluntarily hand over their guns and register? They wouldn't. It is not for safety reasons that the government wants your guns. They want to control you.

The internet and the increasing insistence that everything must be online is just another way to control us. The people that have that control are capable of stripping our freedoms. We are slowly but surely losing our freedoms because we like the accessibility we have to everything. We really don't realize that accessibility comes at a very dear price. Some of us will eventually be locked in a socialist prison unable to speak.

I have to admit that I've been frightened by developments within this country and the world at large. Companies are still pushing people to "get online" and not giving an alternative avenue to do what they need to do. The electronic currency and banking trend is escalating with no end in sight. Yes, admittedly it does seem easier to have that money directly processed, but at what cost? I am pretty much old school and it takes me a long time to get comfortable with new technology.

The feeling of being "sucked in" is getting stronger. Some days I do feel like a rebel because I don't do things the way that everyone else does. My nose is not stuck on the screen of a Smart Phone. I don't own one. I do, however, text and send messages on my phone. I call it a hybrid because it has some applications but works like a flip phone.

I don't like the feeling of being sucked in. I'm guessing no one does. Yet it is exactly what the social media is doing. They are sucking us in with their sensational stories, most of them are purely made up lies. You start to believe them until you look around and find yourself locked in a socialist prison. You then ask yourself if there is any way out. It is then that you turn to God. He is the only way out. He is the only way to recapture our freedoms.
