Unplug from the Matrix

 

Our ideological dilemma:

I have a warning. I'm reading overly simplistic posts from conservatives who simply don't understand the ideology behind the destruction of our institutions, yet they expect Trump who is certainly no "philosopher-king" to solve a crisis of ideological possession. The only possible way to fight back against this WOKE brain worm is to understand how it works and why it has captured so many minds. Remember that we are now left with roughly half the population who believe in ideological insanity. We cannot simply dismiss them!

Perhaps we might begin by asking our ideological opponents why the markets are roaring into life even before Trump takes office?  We might also remind them that Fascism ONLY permits private ownership under a state regulated economy which is PRECISELY what we have had under leaders like Biden and Trudeau. We know that Trump intends to DEREGULATE the economy, and that DEREGULATION is therefore diametrically opposed to fascism. As proof Trump has appointed Elon Musk to rid the bloated bureaucracy of its regulatory inefficiencies and excessive control over the economy. The most astounding characteristic of radical social collectivists is that they INVARIABLY accuse their opponents of the very things for which they are guilty! Also, they adhere to their collectivist beliefs with religious zeal despite the inherent contradictions in their belief system.

"Marxism is a form of revolutionary socialism, and Marxism itself is one set of theologies within that religion that has taken many different faces; Critical Race Theory is Race Marxism and Queer Theory is kind of Sexual Marxism." – Dr. James Lindsay

In the aftermath of the resounding Trump victory which saw two high profile Democrats and Elon Musk joining him there will be little ability for the radical WOKE ideologues to explain what just happened since all their pathetic excuses will fall flat in the face of this reality. Let the weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth commence for the Devil prowls about like a roaring lion knowing that his time is short. They called Trump a racist and an Orange Hitler mere hours before he won a landslide of support from the very marginalized demographics he was accused of hating! Perhaps they're actually mentally ill, living proof that Postmodern Cultural Relativism is a parasitic mind worm. Detached from reason all they are left with are "feelings" and what they are feeling at present is emotional instability due to their narcissistic tendencies. Their beliefs have rendered them incapable of self-reflection, so they project their emotional instability onto others.

Given Trump's astounding comeback there will be more than a few of the world's tyrants, dictators, and war mongers who are crapping in their Depends. I can smell the poopoo from here since such an overwhelming victory sends a crystal-clear message to wannabe dictators like Trudeau and Starmer that their time remaining in office will likely be short. So, though we might wish to say let the leftist tears flow because the age of arbitrary state control, endless proxy wars, manipulation by the deep state, and censorship of free speech will soon come to an end, yet it still leaves half the population incapable of facing reality. This is true despite the fact that the results of this election are due to Divine Providence since God Himself has thrown a spanner wrench into the machinery of Godless tyranny!

In the movie The Matrix, when Morpheus tells Neo that "you have to understand that most people aren't prepared to be unplugged from the system," he's talking about a profound truth of human nature. The "system" in the Matrix is a metaphor for the illusion of what is real, an artificial construction designed to control and subdue humanity by giving them a false sense of reality.

Most people today live trapped in this illusion, unable or unwilling to see beyond the veil of lies, manipulation, and control. Morpheus understands that, for many, the comfort of the system is preferable to the unsettling and often painful process of awakening to the truth. People have been conditioned from the cradle, through years of indoctrination, sometimes generations, to accept the world as it is presented to them.

Unplugging from this system is facing a harsh, sometimes unbearable, reality that everything they thought was real is, in fact, a lie. This requires courage, willingness to embrace discomfort, and most importantly, a willingness to let go of what one thought was the truth. Morpheus also knew that those who are still connected to the system are often his most ardent advocates. Why? Because the system has become their identity. Their sense of self, their beliefs, their values, are all tied to the illusions and constructions of that system.

Threatening them is threatening everything they cherish. For many, it's easier to defend the system than to face the possibility that they've been deceived.

The need for satire in defence of truth:

Diogenes, who was an ancient Greek philosopher, gained fame for his penchant for satirizing people. One memorable incident involved him positioning himself beside an archer who repeatedly missed the target, suggesting it was the safest spot to sit.

On another occasion, Diogenes encountered a young boy, the child of a sex worker, throwing rocks at a crowd. He quietly cautioned the boy, "Be cautious, young one, don't harm your own father."

In a different encounter, when Diogenes requested spare change from a passing man who challenged him to persuade him, Diogenes retorted, "If I possessed the power to persuade you, I'd have convinced you to take a different course."

Diogenes held a strong aversion to Socrates and Plato, even going to the extent of disrupting their lectures by audibly eating food. When Alexander the Great inquired why he was rummaging through garbage, Diogenes replied, "I'm searching for your father's remains, but they are indistinguishable from his slaves' bones."

Diogenes loathed the shallowness and hypocrisy of humans and favored the companionship of dogs. Though often referred to unkindly as "Diogenes the dog," he accepted it as a compliment, remarking, "I am Diogenes the dog. I seek out the kind-hearted, challenge the avaricious, and confront the dishonest."

On November 5^th we were confronted with where "too authoritarian not to exercise complete control" meets "too ideologically possessed to notice" versus those of us who believe that the entire process is too compromised and corrupt for us to hope for anything other than more tampering, manipulation, gas lighting, where rabid ideologues will scream like stuck pigs if by some miracle of God's good grace, reason, and sound judgement will prevail. It did but it still leaves half of us on the wrong side of the road wondering what the heck happened to their dream of creating a socialist utopia on earth. Not noticing that the very same people from the State Department, the FBI and the CIA who covered up the Biden family's corruption are the same folks who were propping up Kamala Harris running for the top job. If both candidates were plumbers Trump is the rude guy with plumber's butt who is actually capable of fixing the toilet versus Harris whose sole solution was to drop a lit cherry bomb into it, then amidst the shards of broken porcelain announce triumphantly that under her administration people would no longer need to use the crapper. Harris couldn’t fix problems because she didn’t intend to which serves the deep state well since they operate best in chaos and subterfuge.

Ideology simply cannot be defeated at the polls. What people believe goes far deeper than what mere votes for political candidates can reflect. We are being confronted with a very clear choice, individual liberty and personal autonomy versus the dialectical materialism of Marx and Engels. Many of those who will choose the latter are completely unaware they're actually supporting a bizarre blend of Neo-Marxist and Fascist ideology that I call Marxofascism.

Deuteronomy 30:19:

I call heaven and earth to record this day against you that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing. Therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live

 

What conservatives fail to understand about their ideological enemies

 

Matthew 10:16-16:10 King James Version

16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

The conservative movement has a fatal blind spot. They are screaming bloody murder in reaction to the myriads of things their Postmodern opponents do but to little avail. Why, you say? The Postmodernists responsible for attacking reason itself believe in "their truth" as though truth itself is a subjective matter. Rational conservatives often fail to understand that Postmodernism is actually a religion which requires no proof of its validity. This is why its converts embrace it with blind faith and religious zeal.

I was watching Bridge City News anchor Hal Roberts interview Reverend Alistair Petrie of Partnership Ministries last night. I found the interview disconcerting since neither Hal or Alistair appeared to have a grasp of the nature of the ideological possession that is causing our current political, moral and spiritual crisis. They spoke in depth of the results of radical policies being fomented today by Postmodernists and Cultural Marxists, but never once did they identify the ideological sources for the disruption in society and good government. They simply kept referring of the need to trust in God in the midst of this chaos. Now, I emphatically agree with the need to trust God but what are we to trust Him for if not to understand the nature of the false doctrines which are causing this chaos? But they didn’t deal with the heresies behind the chaos. So, let us examine how the church in the First Millenia reacted to such issues? In the early Church, there were **seven ecumenical councils** that addressed false doctrines and clarified Christian orthodoxy. These councils are:

1. **First Council of Nicaea** (325)

2. **First Council of Constantinople** (381)

3. **Council of Ephesus** (431)

4. **Council of Chalcedon** (451)

5. **Second Council of Constantinople** (553)

6. **Third Council of Constantinople** (680–681)

7. **Second Council of Nicaea** (787)¹².

These councils played a crucial role in defining key aspects of Christian theology and combating heresies.

What is Postmodern Relativism?

**Postmodern relativism** is a philosophical concept that emerged from postmodernism, a movement characterized by broad skepticism, subjectivism, and relativism. It challenges the idea of absolute truths and asserts that truth is relative to the individual or culture¹².

In essence, postmodern relativism suggests that what is considered true or right for one person or group may not be true or right for another. This perspective denies the existence of universal truths and emphasizes the importance of context, perspective, and interpretation¹³.

The other major source of what we can broadly refer to as the WOKE thinking behind our prevailing cultural crisis is known as Cultural Marxist Critical Theory. Postmodern relativism and cultural Marxist critical theory have some overlapping ideas but also significant differences, which can lead to contradictions.

**Postmodern relativism** emphasizes that truth and moral values are relative to individual perspectives or cultural contexts. It challenges the idea of universal truths and often focuses on deconstructing established narratives and power structures².

**Cultural Marxist critical theory**, on the other hand, is rooted in Marxist thought and focuses on critiquing and changing society by addressing power dynamics, social hierarchies, and oppression. It seeks to understand how cultural institutions perpetuate inequality and aims to promote social justice³.

While both theories critique traditional power structures, they differ in their approach to truth and knowledge. Postmodern relativism's emphasis on the relativity of truth can be seen as contradictory to cultural Marxist critical theory's goal of uncovering and addressing objective social injustices¹³.

Reconciling the contradictions:

So, the two main sources of the prevailing ideological possession contradict one another since Postmodernism states there is no “Grand Narrative” while Cultural Marxism is in and of itself a “Grand Narrative”. It obviously requires faith to believe in two things which reason ought to cancel out but socialists have never worried about such contradictions. Allow me to refer back to my previous blogs and vodcasts about Hegelian dialectics. Here we see that Postmodernism is presented as a “thesis”, Cultural Marxism as “antithesis” and the “synthesis” of both is the merging of two contradictory ideas into a new reality. This obviously requires faith which leads me back to my first conclusion, Christianity has been pitted against these heresies and sadly there is no current ecumenical council willing to take on the task of exposing these false doctrines that are gnostic mysteries to their core. Only those who have been initiated into the belief system can possibly comprehend such irrational thinking and only then when its high priests tell the collective what they mist think, this is why they despise the individual. In this they have become the metaphorical manifestation of the Borg from Star Trek where resistance is futile, and you will be assimilated! (Over my dead body) This is why what we call the “left” appears crazy to the rational and Godly mind.

But it is odder than even what I have described so far since the main critics of this quasi-religious ideological idiocy are atheists. Dr. James Lindsay is the founder of the website New Discourses, which is owned by conservative commentator Michael O'Fallon. Lindsay's video series is also hosted by Sovereign Nations, O'Fallon's Christian nationalist website. According to theologian and author David W. Congdon, "framing the left as an alternative religion has made Lindsay popular among the Christian Right", yet Lindsay himself is an atheist. And then we have Canada’s own Dr. Gad Saad, also an atheist, who is renowned for defining the minds of the radical left as parasitized by bad ideas. Dr. Gad Saad, the host of the enormously popular YouTube show THE SAAD TRUTH, exposes the bad ideas—what he calls “idea pathogens”—that are killing common sense and rational debate. Incubated in our universities and spread through the tyranny of political correctness, these ideas are endangering our most basic freedoms—including freedom of thought and speech.

Needless to say, it is an indictment on the state of the Church today that atheists have had to take up the cause of reasoned discourse to expose the faux religious gnostic nature of the whacky ideas that permeate every aspect of modern life with Canada’s own Prime Minister as the posterchild for mind viruses which are responsible for our social, moral, economic and spiritual ruin. It is long overdue that the Church take up her Cross to go forward as the Christian soldiers that Christ has called us to be. I for one will never be silent until the day God takes me home! I will do everything within my power by God’s good grace to expose the Godless quasi-religious heresies that lie at the epicentre of our cultural malaise! There is no such thing as an irreligious person for if we reject God, just as Nietzsche has forewarned, we must become gods ourselves by invented sacred rituals and games that in our recent past resulted in the murder of countless millions.

 

 

I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life!

 

Are you noticing synchronicities more frequently? There is no such thing as coincidence. We are witnesses to emerging patterns of illiberal authoritarianism all throughout the Western World. Yet the words of these authoritarians deconstruct their own arguments even as they demand that we deny the evidence of our own lying eyes and ears! These oligarchs are pathologically delusional and violently illiberal. They are committed to using every means at their disposal to force us to comply to their insane edicts, policies, and programs while coercing us to ignore the utter failures and negative outcomes. We are being governed by Marxofascists who promote a totalitarian global agenda rather than serving the constituents who elected them. This is if indeed they hold office as a result of a free and open electoral process given the fact, we now have every reason to doubt that given the biased and ridiculous testimony recently given by Canada’s own Prime Minister #Justin Trudeau at the foreign interference inquiry.

In Brian Lilley’s words from an article in the Toronto Sun entitled, “Justin Trudeau wants Canadians kept in the dark on foreign interference”:

“Meanwhile, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has called for names of those involved to be released for more than a year.

Here is the latest from 35,000 feet above the middle of the USA.

If Justin Trudeau had his way, Canadians would never know about foreign interference in this country, never mind the names of those involved. Trudeau made that abundantly clear in his highly partisan appearance at the Foreign Interference Commission on Wednesday.

In his testimony, Trudeau lashed out at those who leaked information to the public and explained how this could all be handled without coming clean to the public.

If you were hopeful that Trudeau would heed the call by Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre to “release the names of all MPs that have collaborated with foreign interference,” don’t hold your breath. If it were up to Trudeau, there wouldn’t even be a Foreign Interference Commission.

“There is no question that the criminal who leaked the information to the media, had a role to play in our decision,” Trudeau said of the government’s expulsion of Zhao Wei.”

The following comes from Oliver Cromwell’s speech when he dismissed the Rump parliament in London, England in April 1653 and you should all consider it seriously.

“It is high time … to put an end to your sitting in this place, which you have dishonoured by your contempt of all virtue and defiled by your practice of every vice.

“Ye are a factious crew and enemies to all good government.

“Ye are a pack of mercenary wretches …

“Is there a single virtue now remaining amongst you? Is there one vice you do not possess?

“Which of you have not bartered your conscience for bribes? Is there a man (or woman) amongst you that has the least care for the good of the Commonwealth?

Meanwhile four of Trudeau’s own cabinet ministers have stated that they will not run for re-election even as their own leader craters the fortunes of the Liberal Party of Canada. His caucus is in open rebellion with many backbenchers signing a petition to have the PM resign before the LPC loses all support. We ought not to forget the famous warning given by Trudeau’s former Attorney General, Jody Wilson-Raybould who told Trudeau, 'I wish I had never met you,'. She revealed in her book that on the day Prime Minister Justin Trudeau formally removed her as justice minister and attorney general, that she approached her successor at the cabinet swearing-in ceremony to deliver a cryptic warning. First, she congratulated David Lametti on his new role and offered him with her assistance in the transition. “Then, purposefully, with (Privy Council Clerk) Michael Wernick standing within earshot, I offered Lametti a warning: ‘Be careful, all is not what it seems,'” Wilson-Raybould writes in her new book, Indian in the Cabinet. “I looked directly at the clerk when I said it. Lametti replied, ‘Noted’.” The Premier of Alberta Danielle Smith has just warned the nation that she fears Trudeau will become more dangerous before he is “punted” just as a cornered animal is most vicious when it has been cornered. After all, even rats have sharp teeth. Ethics scholar Dr. Julie Ponesse has produced lectures about the "normalizing of corruption" under Trudeau’s government who have sold their consciences for bribes. If ever there was a catch phrase which sums up Trudeau's reign of authoritarian overreach the love of bribes must be the most fitting.

We need to remember that the principal weapon that radical social collectivists have in their arsenal of dirty tricks is to accuse their ideological opponents of the very things for which they themselves are guilty. Postmodernists are demanding that history be rewritten with the specific intent of ensuring that it is repeated. The post-information age, so-called smart technology, and the social "sciences" have coalesced in agreement providing the ideal conditions for creating the perfect authoritarian social collectivist dystopia. Here are a few of the reasons as to why this has become an inevitability.

Postmodern Relativism is an attack on the literal meaning of words as well as on the value of Western culture over the murderous medieval tribalism that our leaders are deliberately importing unvetted into our midst at the taxpayers’ expense. But this is far from the only existential ideological challenge we are facing. Cultural Marxism has been merged with global financial fascism driven by the military-industrial complex and an international investment banking system that are now deep in bed with the CCP. They have used Big Pharma to sicken humanity in the name of vaccinating the planet against the very artificial virus that they were responsible for creating in the Level 4 laboratory in Wuhan in cooperation with the Communist Chinese military.

Given these facts I can guarantee that the next "plan-demic” and species of political insanity that these authoritarian actors will unleash upon humanity will make COVID-19 look like a mere triviality or perhaps more accurately, simply a dry run for what is to come next. Oligarchs who are endowed with great power are also possessed by pathological narcissism. This cabal despite their unlikely ties to one another are now manifesting Satanic influence over humanity on a global scale. Demonic entities have coalesced into an all controlling Marxofascist BLOB who are promoting endless unwinnable proxy wars. Conflicts which can only be ended by restoring the Grand Narrative to the West, namely that Christ alone is King, and that "collective salvation" is a lie. Only individuals with free will are capable of choosing to accept salvation by recognizing their own need of repentance and conversion. Due to the West’s rejection of the Christian message God has permitted us to be reminded that social collectivism of all kinds, whether it is Nazism, Fascism, Socialism, Communism, WOKEism, Political Islamism, Postmodernism, and Cultural Marxism all lead to the rejection of individual accountability and personal sovereignty that replaces “I” with “we”. In a Christian society every single member of Christ’s body must have freely chosen personal knowledge of Him for themselves. One cannot be forced to convert for there is no coercion with God. He has made us all sovereign and free to choose for ourselves.

Deuteronomy 30 (KJV)

Restoration Promised

1 And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee,

2 And shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul; 3 That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee.

4 If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee:

5 And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.

6 And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.

7 And the LORD thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee.

8 And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the LORD, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day.

9 And the LORD thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the LORD will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers:

10 If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.

The Choice of Life or Death

11 For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off.

12 It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?

13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?

14 But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.

15 See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;

16 In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.

17 But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;

18 I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it.

19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

20 That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.

Most people would rather die than think, in fact they do so!

 

Permit me to quote Bertrand Russell, famed British mathematician, logician, philosopher, and public intellectual who influenced mathematics, logic, set theory, and analytic philosophy; “Most people would rather die than think; in fact, they do so.” Until we can completely deconstruct the prevailing Postmodern globalist narrative and its agenda which has parasitized the minds of so many here in the West, an agenda which has come to resemble a rapidly growing Gnostic mystery cult, the emergence of mass formation psychosis cannot be avoided. From the rear cover of Dr. Gad Saad’s brilliant work on idea pathogens, “The Parasitic Mind: How Infectious Ideas Are Killing Common Sense” it reads, “There's a war against truth... and if we don't win it, intellectual freedom will be a casualty.” In this book Dr. Saad lays out the neuro-parasitological framework of the mind virus known as WOKE and how it parasitizes the host to destroy itself out of suicidal empathy. The cover goes on to state, “The West’s commitment to freedom, reason, and true liberalism has never been more seriously threatened than it is today by the stifling forces of political correctness”. Dr Saad asserted the following after having an interaction with a graduate student in post-modernism, cultural anthropology, and women's studies, which Dr. Saad refers to as the Holy Trinity of bullshit. He believes that the one idea pathogen that is the granddaddy of all of them is Postmodernism since it removes the ability of having human universals which provide a universally agreed upon understanding of what words mean. If there is no universal meaning, then everything becomes shackled by our personal biases and by subjectivity. He went on to observe that though they assert that there are no universal truths other than the one universal truth that there are no universal truths, they miss this irony. Dr. Saad stated that he wakes up every day as an academic knowing that there are regularities in the world to study otherwise there'd be no point in being a scientist. If he didn’t have a common place where he could agree with the graduate student in question that only women can bear children, that there is such a thing as east and west, and there is a star called the sun, if they could not agree on these as universal truths, then this a form of intellectual terrorism. So where can studying postmodernism take you? Well, it can take you to believing that boys too can menstruate, that boys too can bear children precisely because there is no universal meaning anymore that we can all agree upon. So, this is why he argues that Postmodernism is a form of intellectual terrorism and it's the granddaddy of all idea pathogens.

Canada’s current Prime Minister is the posterchild for every possible Postmodern deconstruction of reality which is why he had menstrual products installed in the men’s washrooms in all of Ottawa’s federal government facilities. Trudeau obviously believes the only universal truth is whatever the latest lie he says that he feeds to the public through his publicly funded media apparatus despite him repeatedly having found to be lying. His often-stated belief in the culturally anthropological delusion of cultural relativism that bring unvetted immigrants here from war torn countries enriches the nation because all cultures have equal value except for our own Western culture which is hideous and oppressive. This even though almost all of those who are on secret service terrorist watch lists are radical political Islamists, you know the religion that Trudeau himself describes as a religion of peace while labelling Christian conservatives as horrid, bigoted extremists. This is why he stated, "The very concept of a nation founded by European settlers is offensive to me. Old Stock White Canadians are an unpleasant relic, and quite frankly, replaceable. And we will replace them". And by claiming that trans-people are real women too obviously does nothing to support the cause of feminism, not to mention how he has treated senior female members of his government whom he dismissed from caucus.

But that is here in Canada, but who precisely, is the source for the global proselytizing of such stupid ideas that originated in the social science departments of our universities since these ideas are leading to the downfall of Western reason and values? Let us look at the WEF’s own website to discover one of the primary sources but by no means the only source of evangelizing WOKE Postmodern nonsense. The Global elite have weaponized these ideas as a means of enabling greater wealth transfer from the common John and Jane into their filthy lucre filled coffers: https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/06/now-is-the-time-for-a-great-reset/

“COVID-19 lockdowns may be gradually easing, but anxiety about the world’s social and economic prospects is only intensifying. There is good reason to worry: a sharp economic downturn has already begun, and we could be facing the worst depression since the 1930s. But, while this outcome is likely, it is not unavoidable.

To achieve a better outcome, the world must act jointly and swiftly to revamp all aspects of our societies and economies, from education to social contracts and working conditions. Every country, from the United States to China, must participate, and every industry, from oil and gas to tech, must be transformed. In short, we need a “Great Reset” of capitalism.”

All forms of social collectivism are organized systems of mass formation psychosis! This explains why to normal folk their beliefs, practices, and behaviours seem so odd, reactionary, weird, and perverse. Whenever confronted with reality the parasitized will invariably project their own mental illness onto those who dare to point out that what they believe is psychotic delusion. And since I'm now out of the closet, as it were, I want my readers to know that I state these things as a proud confirmed male lesbian who pees out of my “mangina”! And if you think my assertion is nuts (since it is) look at the attached photo from the United Nations. A picture isn't merely worth a thousand words, it redefines the very meaning of words and reality itself. Unless these delusions are ended, the West is lost.

Postmodern historical revisionism is busily toxifying our past which is causing our children to feel shame about their own culture. It must be noted that Mao caused the death of some 50,000,000 Chinese while pursuing a similar agenda to toxify China's cultural past. We need to recognize that our institutions of education are under a Neo-Marxist assault that is being orchestrated by international bodies, quangos and NGO’s who admit to promoting a Neo-Marxist Postmodern agenda, namely the “Great Reset of Capitalism” which is bafflegab for Marx’s and Engles’ “Dialectical Materialism” from the Communist Manifesto. We ought to learn from our history, warts, blemishes, and beauty regardless since we cannot rewrite the past nor impose our morals onto our ancestors

Noted defender of Christian values and individual liberty Father Calvin Robinson has been driven out of Britain to assume a pastorate in West Michigan by a perverted political class that has succumbed to the Postmodern madness of Cultural Marxist Critical Theory whose primary goal is to attack our faith and our families while leaving our borders open to invasion from war torn third world countries. Britian’s government not only refuses to enforce the rule of law, but also imports violent crime and murder while making political prisoners and refugees of Christian preachers. We are witnessing crowds of those who hide their faces behind masks repeatedly breaking the law pronouncing judgement upon the social injustices of others but are only doing so to hide their own moral failures.

In Great Britain Starmer's reign of authoritarian tyranny is providing proof that so-called Democratic Socialism is a lie. Socialism by its very nature must rely on coercion and force. England, the very land of Magna Carta and the idea of personal autonomy, has resubmitted to a reworked version of feudalism under Starmer's stupid and vindictive premiership which now has taken political prisoners, persecutes Christian pastors, even as it releases violent criminals who ought never to have set foot on her shores to walk upon England's mountains green where the Holy Lamb of God, on England’s pleasant pastures were once seen through Christ's Church which has now utterly lost its way!

Until people realize that the Postmodern narrative is false, we will never win the present ideological battle. What is being labelled as far right and radical left are merely variants of similar collectivist ideologies that demand that the individual must be subsumed into a faceless social collective as represented by the state. Statism is therefore the enemy of individual autonomy and the equality of all under the law. For there to be real equality Lady Justice must be kept blind to race, creed, colour, personal beliefs and sex.

The need for revival as an antidote to WOKE ideological possession: https://breakpoint.org/revival-and-reform-in-britain-a-tale-of-two-revolutions-part-2/

“England may have been a commercial power with a cohesive elite made up of nobles, the landed gentry, and wealthy merchants, but the social cleavages and the resentment of the lower classes against the upper classes were nearly as great as they were on the continent even if the details vary. The contempt went both ways. For the most part, the upper classes cared little for the lower classes, seeing them instead as creatures to exploit much like their abused animals. Debauchery and drunkenness were common.

The Church of England did nothing to mitigate the kingdom’s social problems. Since the Stuart Restoration (1660), Britain had largely enforced conformity to the Church of England, suppressing Dissenters including Puritans in England and Presbyterians in Scotland. Despite this, religion was not a major theme in the period.

After the English Civil War and Commonwealth, British elites looked on any serious commitment to religion or religious practices with suspicion. You were expected to attend church on Sunday, have a church wedding, baptize your children, and be buried in the churchyard, but that was about it. Anything more than that was labeled “enthusiasm,” roughly the equivalent of being called a “holy roller.”

The Evangelical Revival

That said, while polite society rejected anything beyond going through the motions when it comes to faith, others especially in the lower classes found something far more meaningful and profound in the Evangelical Revival that swept Britain and many of its American colonies.

Interestingly, many of the leaders of these revivals were precisely the kind of highly educated individuals who were drawn to the Enlightenment. Jonathan Edwards, the most famous preacher of the Great Awakening in New England, is considered by many today to be the greatest thinker that America has produced. George Whitefield and John and Charles Wesley were Oxford graduates.

Despite the number of intellectual elites who joined or led the Evangelical Revival, however, it was far from an elitist movement. Some of its leaders, while educated, were hardly part of the intellectual elite. Howell Harris, one of the key leaders of the Welsh Revival, was a simple schoolmaster. Further, unlike the Enlightenment, which appealed primarily to elites, the revivals reached primarily common people, even people below the level of literacy such as coal miners. The result was a spiritual revolution that transformed British society.

As we face significant social upheaval and challenges in our society, the question is, which model will we follow: a secular model built on elitist theories of social reform, or a spiritual model based on a recognition of sin and the need for repentance and inner transformation?

The Spiritual Revolution

According to many historians, the Evangelical Revival helped prevent England from having its own bloody revolution on the model of France. The message preached in these revivals emphasized not an easy conversion experience, but repentance resulting in turning away from sin and a transformed life. They thus looked for spiritual renewal rather than secular, Enlightenment-driven social reform, and they did so in sufficient numbers to keep Britain from collapsing in an orgy of violence.

This did not mean that they ignored social problems, however. The need to root out sin in one’s life extended further to rooting it out of society. Thus, British Evangelicals were involved in lobbying and agitating for social reform in every area it was needed.

Most famously, this was personified in William Wilberforce, the parliamentarian who led the fight against the slave trade but who also was involved in nearly 70 other organizations dedicated to righting the many wrongs in British society. In the end, he was largely successful—not only was slavery abolished, but it was said of Wilberforce that he made goodness fashionable in England.

As we face significant social upheaval and challenges in our society, the question is, which model will we follow: a secular model built on elitist theories of social reform, or a spiritual model based on a recognition of sin and the need for repentance and inner transformation? Will we use secular means to achieve our goals or the weapons of the Spirit—prayer, love, and repentance? The results of each are before us. We need to choose wisely. Future generations are depending on us.”

ORDER OUT OF CHAOS

 

The puppet masters create "disorder" so the people will demand "order". The price of "order" always entails a handing over of control and loss of freedom on the part of the citizenry. Out of "chaos" comes "order" - THEIR order - their new WORLD order. The trick of creating chaos and then seizing power under the pretense of putting things back in order is a tried and true method of deception and manipulation. It's the meaning behind the Latin motto: ORDO AB CHAO meaning ORDER OUT OF CHAOS.

This is BIG BROTHER’S CHAOS ORDER:

It's also referred to as the Hegelian Dialectic after the philosopher Georg Hegel who described it as: THESIS -- ANTITHESIS -- SYNTHESIS. Others have described this as: PROBLEM -- REACTION – SOLUTION in that firstly you create the problem; then secondly you fan the flames to get a reaction; then thirdly (like Johnny-on-the-spot) you provide a solution. The solution is what you were wanting to achieve in the first place, but wouldn't have been able to achieve under normal circumstances. Otherwise, this is known as the “new Normal”, Orwell described this as REALITY CONTROL. ~ Jackie Jura

Radical social collectivists only understand consolidating authoritarian centralized power. The only concept which determines what is moral to them is whatever weaponized means of control they can use to further centralize their power while undermining the rights of the individual. They live by the motto that their real action lies in their opponents’ reaction to their policies, yet invariably we have taken the bait. This is literally how they define their revolutionary struggle for dominance. It is Hegelian to its core. They go from the thesis of creating a policy that causes a reaction, to antithesis where we react negatively to the new policy, to synthesis where their action and our reaction create the "new normal" and so on. Each reiteration of this process serves to further their Cultural Marxist Revolution! Our ONLY hope lies in helping others to understand how this process works. Once people know how it operates, they'll stop playing whack--a-mole with the Devil.

Which is why people must be educated to understand how ideological possession occurs. Truly parasitic ideas have escaped the humanity departments of universities to infect society. These idea pathogens are causing the West to commit suicide by parasitical empathy. When we come to care more for "others" than we do for our own this is proof of said parasitization. Note that it is women who most easily fall prey since the parasite uses emotions to destroy the host. Women's emotional systems are being hijacked since they are more vulnerable to being controlled by empathy. They are therefore the chief target of this idea pathogen. This is why they replaced Biden with Harris who is all about feelings.

This has resulted in England, which is the very home of the mother of all parliaments, to commit cultural suicide due to toxic sympathy for violent foreign elements who do not share Christian British values. London is to the Anglosphere what Rome was to its empire, for without the centre the outliers cannot survive. Britain, America, Canada and Western Europe, among other Western regions and nations, are committing suicide by parasitical empathy. Their governing class and the intellectual elite care more for Islam and radical Cultural Marxist Critical Theory, replete as it is with a complete ignorance of a sound economic policies capable of raising the most marginalized out of poverty than they do about upholding the Christian values of the West. As a result, the West has placed itself under a curse that only repentance can cure. But God Himself has closed the eyes and ears of those governing us lest they repent, turn to Christ, and be healed!

There is an old Norse saying which loosely translated goes, "A witless man believes everything he knows between the two mountains where he lives." But there's a greater evil, that of the well travelled person who believes they understand more than what they do for despite their experiences they view the world through the lens of their own flawed ideological perspective. And then even a greater evil still where the naive and witless valley dweller comes to look up to the so-called educated enlightened traveller for, they in turn will come to share similar delusions. This describes our present dilemma. And it alludes to the reason of our prevailing cultural crisis. It is a manifestation of the Dunning–Kruger effect where ideologically possessed people with limited cognitive competence who are devoid of enlightenment will overestimate their abilities and understanding of the real issues confronting humanity. This phenomenon was first described by Justin Kruger and David Dunning in 1999. Mass media propaganda based on these cognitive biases have further served to create our present mass societal delusion.

For over a decade I've been warning about the fact that our schools and universities have been weaponized against the interests of society using huge amounts of our tax dollars that could be better spent on programs that are actually vital rather than promoting parasitical ideas which are further infecting society. This is obscene, unnatural, perverted and diabolical to its Cultural Marxist ideological core, specifically because it targets our children! No one voted for this idea-babble nor did our politicians advertise that this was part of their political agenda!

If you are wondering why it is that you and those whom you know are suffering from increased generalized anxiety, now you know. Terrible ideas that were hatched by university professors in the humanities departments of our universities have escaped to deconstruct civil order. Performative caring is on full display. Our elected representatives have misgoverned us into a crisis due to pursuing policies which are the diametric opposite of actual progress. They don't mean a word of what they claim as they throw billions of our tax dollars on an idiotic radical agenda that is culturally and spiritually ruinous! It is for this reason that I state that the Cultural Marxist Revolution is practically complete. We live in a society which is committing suicide by parasitical empathy where feelings have replaced reason even as we dare to sit in moral judgment of our ancestors whose accomplishments were so grand compared to that of our own that our greatest accolade must be our ability to whine about how morally superior we are even as we live in the ashes of the civilization that our forebears created which we have now become hellbent on destroying.

Galatians 5:1 King James Bible

Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

Gnosticism: why the elite make no sense to us

 

History repeats itself: the Gnostic cult of postmodern thinking

Today the west is being confronted with a Postmodern heresy closely related to the one the early Church fathers countered in their time. So, permit be to begin by discussing how Gnosticism posed an inherent threat to the early Church whose task it became was to counter false doctrines. This is essential for Christianity today since we are facing a similar crisis with Gnostic Postmodern WOKE ideologies. The reasons define how Gnosticism posed a significant threat to the early Christian Church:

Theological Differences: Gnosticism introduced beliefs that were fundamentally different from orthodox Christian teachings. Gnostics believed in a dualistic universe where the material world was created by a lesser, malevolent deity, and salvation was achieved through secret knowledge (gnosis). This contrasted sharply with the Christian belief in a single, benevolent God and salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.

Scriptural Interpretations: Gnostics often had their own interpretations of Christian scriptures or even their own texts, such as the Gospel of Thomas. These interpretations and texts sometimes contradicted the canonical gospels and teachings of the early church, leading to confusion and division among believers.

Authority and Unity: The early church was working to establish a unified doctrine and authority structure. Gnosticism, with its diverse and often secretive teachings, undermined this effort by promoting alternative leaders and doctrines. This threatened the unity and cohesion of the early Christian community.

Ethical Implications: Some Gnostic teachings led to ethical practices that were at odds with those of the early church. For example, some Gnostics believed that since the material world was evil, moral behavior in the physical realm was irrelevant. This could lead to either extreme asceticism or moral laxity, both of which were problematic for the early church’s emphasis on righteous living.

Overall, Gnosticism challenged the early church’s efforts to define and defend its core beliefs, maintain unity, and establish a consistent ethical framework. The church responded by condemning Gnostic teachings as heretical and working to clarify and codify orthodox Christian doctrine.

So, in today’s blog and vodcast I will attempt to demonstrate why the current attack on our cultural values is due to the Gnosticism inherent to authoritarianism in all its various socially collectivist forms. These manifestations of illiberalism are in fact expressions of gnostic mystery religions where only its priests can truly understand its hidden mysteries. This obviously seems to fly in the face of the fact that they deny the existence of God but only because we fail to recognize that its priests have made themselves into gods. This is why when we have heard them speak or read what they have written one is forced to wonder why their rhetoric often sounds like gobbledygook.

A musician friend of mine sent me an article written in one of the 4^th Estate's most notable Neo-Marxist rags that promoted an end to the use of coal as an energy source and asked Trudeau to interfere with shipping it abroad. I told my friend that I literally never read the TO Star. I have no use for the 4^th Estate which has become the disinformation arm of a government (taxpayer) funded cultural revolution. I said to him, "I do not think you are fully aware of how completely I have rejected the accepted Postmodern narrative." In the first grade when they made us sing, I am a little teapot short and stout I balked at it. I knew I was short but certainly not stout. Moreover, I knew I was not a teapot and was horrified at how the entire class, most emphatically the girls, went along with its idiotic gestures of the hip hold, extended arm, and tipping whilst singing its moronic ever so uncool white ungroovy lyrics. I do not do things in unison with others. I cannot march in lockstep with the current mandated thing. We now live in a society which blindly follows leaders who are marching us straight into a cultural abattoir. And for the fools who do not want coal to be used, the solution to using it cleanly is to install scrubbers in the chimneys of the plants who burn it. It is impossible to turn matter into energy without creating byproducts. I guess you idiots who danced the teapot passed that course with flying colours but flunked high school physics.

Why there is broad acceptance of the Postmodern narrative despite it sounding like nonsense:

For at least 60 years dialectics have crept their way into the prevailing Postmodern narrative. In rejecting God its creators have founded a new Hegelian mystery religion where only its priests can see behind the curtain of Gnostic knowledge. Which is why to the uninitiated it appears to be based upon madness. Believe it or not this explains the reason for the deliberate outcome of what the Postmodern priests label as progress being madness since we lack the secret knowledge to understand what progress means.

Every single totalitarian ideology has been built on Hegelian Dialectical thinking. Its influence on the Postmodern narrative is among the best documented phenomena of our time! It borrows from the Platonic idea of the Demiurge. The concept of the Demiurge, as originally presented by Plato and later adapted by various philosophical and religious traditions has not been explicitly adopted by totalitarian regimes but its concepts have been borrowed and altered to suit their purposes. The Demiurge is primarily a metaphysical and cosmological figure, and its interpretations have largely remained within the realms of philosophy, theology, and esoteric traditions¹².

However, totalitarian ideologies have drawn on various philosophical and religious concepts to justify their worldviews and actions. For example, certain Gnostic interpretations of the Demiurge depict it as a malevolent or ignorant creator, responsible for the flawed material world². This is the essence of both Nazism’s and Communism’s world view that it is up to them to change the nature of reality itself because they cannot accept the world as it is. This idea of a corrupt or oppressive creator could be metaphorically linked to the way totalitarian regimes view themselves as the ultimate authority, shaping and controlling society according to their own ideals.

Totalitarian ideologies often draw on various philosophical and religious concepts to justify their control over society. While the concept of the Demiurge itself hasn't been directly adopted by totalitarian regimes, its underlying themes can be seen in how these ideologies operate.

1. **Control and Order**: The Demiurge in Gnostic traditions is often seen as a controlling force, shaping the material world. Similarly, totalitarian regimes seek to control all aspects of life, imposing strict order and suppressing dissent¹².

2. **Creation of a New Reality**: Just as the Demiurge is seen as creating the physical world, totalitarian regimes often aim to create a new social and political reality. They use propaganda, censorship, and education to shape the beliefs and behaviors of their citizens¹².

3. **Utopian Ideals**: Totalitarian ideologies often promise a utopian future, much like the Demiurge's creation of an ordered cosmos from chaos. This promise is used to justify extreme measures and the suppression of individual freedoms¹².

4. **Centralized Authority**: The Demiurge is a central, authoritative figure in the creation myth. Totalitarian regimes similarly centralize power in a single leader or party, demanding absolute loyalty and obedience¹².

These parallels show how totalitarian ideologies can adopt and adapt philosophical concepts to support their goals.

While totalitarian ideologies don't explicitly reference the demiurge, they often adopt a role that mirrors its attributes, especially within the Gnostic framework. Here's how:

Perception of a Flawed World: Totalitarian regimes typically view the existing social, political, and economic order as fundamentally flawed, corrupt, or oppressive. This perspective aligns with the Gnostic view of the material world being inherently defective due to the demiurge's influence.

Promise of Radical Transformation: To address these perceived flaws, totalitarian movements propose a comprehensive reorganization of society. They aim to craft a new world order based on their ideological principles, essentially acting as creators or architects of a redesigned reality. This ambition parallels the demiurge's role as the shaper of the material world.

Claim to Exclusive Knowledge: Scholars like Eric Voegelin have described modern totalitarian movements as exhibiting "gnostic" characteristics. These ideologies often claim to possess exclusive insights or knowledge (gnosis) about the path to a perfected society. This self-ascribed authority justifies their sweeping reforms and the suppression of dissenting views.

Immanentizing the Eschaton: Totalitarian regimes attempt to realize an ultimate, often utopian, state of society within the temporal world—a concept Voegelin termed "immanentizing the eschaton." This endeavor reflects the demiurge's act of bringing form and order to existence, albeit through a flawed lens.

In essence, while totalitarian ideologies don't directly adopt the idea of the demiurge, they embody its thematic elements by positioning themselves as the sole architects capable of redeeming a flawed world. This alignment serves both to legitimize their authority and to mobilize support for their transformative agendas.

The high priests of the Global Cabal:

For the first time in human history global illiberal and authoritarian interests have coalesced into an all powerful and controlling system where NGOs and quangos are dictating to sovereign nations how their citizens must be governed. These entities are responsible for the mishandling of COVID-19 and the lies we were told about the toxic failed inoculant that was created in concert with the virus which resulted in untold injuries to those who have received it. These same NGOs and quangos all use variations of Cultural Marxist Critical Theory to further a cultural revolution which starts with redefining the nature of the nuclear family. Their agenda has successfully broken down the very structures of and foundations for civil society which is why we are currently experiencing such unprecedented levels of civil unrest due to them pursuing a Neo-Marxist utopia which cannot exist.

Multiculturalism is therefore an impossibility since it denies the very nature of the social glue that makes culture itself possible, namely shared ethical values, cultural traditions, and common religious beliefs. The West cannot exist as a project that defends human dignity and freedom without its Christian foundations. Which is why Christianity exists in direct opposition to the goals of these organizations which are creations of the UN.

The UN instead of being a vehicle for international peace and cooperation has become the means for furthering Neo-Marxism.

"Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) serve as critical players in the modern societal framework, often filling gaps that government bodies and private sectors are unable to address effectively. The role of an NGO in society encompasses a wide range of activities that contribute to social change, community development, and the promotion of civic engagement. In this article, we will explore the multifaceted functions that NGOs perform and how to find NGOs in your area.

What is an NGO?

Non-governmental organizations, or NGOs, were first called such in Article 71 in the Charter of the newly formed United Nations in 1945. While NGOs have no fixed or formal definition, they are generally defined as nonprofit entities independent of governmental influence (although they may receive government funding).

As one can tell from the basic definition above, the difference between nonprofit organizations (NPOs) and NGOs is slim. However, the term "NGO" is not typically applied to U.S.-based nonprofit organizations. Generally, the NGO label is given to organizations operating on an international level although some countries classify their own civil society groups as NGOs.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

One of the primary roles of an NGO is to act as an advocate for social change. NGOs often work towards influencing policies and legislation that affect the communities they serve. By engaging in advocacy work, NGOs raise awareness on critical issues such as human rights, environmental protection, and social justice, striving to bring about systemic change that can improve the lives of people on a larger scale.

Grassroots mobilization

NGOs play a crucial role in mobilizing communities at the grassroots level. They empower individuals by providing them with the knowledge and tools necessary to advocate for their rights and interests. This bottom-up approach ensures that the voices of the marginalized and underrepresented are heard, fostering a society that values inclusivity and diversity.

Humanitarian assistance

In times of crisis, such as natural disasters or conflicts, NGOs are often among the first to respond with humanitarian assistance. They provide essential services including food, shelter, medical care, and psychological support to those affected. NGOs' flexibility and ability to act quickly often make them more efficient than larger, more bureaucratic institutions in delivering aid to those in need.

Community development and empowerment

NGOs are instrumental in community development projects that aim to improve the quality of life for individuals and groups. These projects may include building schools, improving healthcare facilities, and providing vocational training to enhance employment opportunities. By focusing on empowerment, NGOs help communities to become self-reliant and sustainable in the long term.

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

NGOs contribute significantly to the achievement of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These 17 goals aim to address global challenges such as poverty, inequality, climate change, and peace. NGOs often tailor their projects and initiatives to align with one or more of these goals, thereby contributing to a global effort towards sustainable development.

Education and capacity building

Education is a cornerstone of NGO activities. Many organizations focus on providing educational opportunities to children and adults alike, helping to reduce illiteracy rates and equipping individuals with the skills needed to participate fully in society. Through capacity-building workshops, NGOs also strengthen the abilities of other civil society organizations, enhancing their impact and efficiency.

My summation:

The hive mind shared by these organizations represents a set of orthodoxies that demand compliance to their doctrines under pain of being labelled a heretic. These bodies have placed every legislative assembly throughout the developed west under their direct influence and woe betide any sovereign nation who dare to govern itself under its own laws, particularly if those laws are founded on Christian ethics and Biblical morality. The very reason that the average person cannot comprehend their agenda is that its Gnostic secrets are known only to its high priests. Those who long to share is such mysteries are only permitted to enter behind the veil by means of blind obedience. To the sane mind this enigma is hidden in cognitive dissonance if one were to attempt to accept the mutually exclusive nonsense of Hegelian anti-reason of thesis then antithesis onto synthesis. Here is how it works. Thesis, two plus two equals four. Antithesis, two plus two equals five. Synthesis, two plus two equals four and/or five depending on the whims of the high priests. This is how willing the priests of the gnostic cult have become to accept something which the average person simply cannot grasp. And this universalism has replaced Christianity. You may think that is a good thing, but you would be a fool if you do since every single authoritarian regime was based upon gnostic mysticism and Hegelian thinking.

The early church took several measures to counter the threat of Gnosticism and other false ideologies:

1. **Establishing Canonical Scriptures**: The church worked to establish a canon of authoritative scriptures. By recognizing certain texts as inspired and authoritative, the church provided a clear standard for doctrine and practice. This helped to counter the diverse and often contradictory texts promoted by Gnostic groups.

2. **Creeds and Confessions**: The early church formulated creeds and confessions of faith, such as the Apostles' Creed and the Nicene Creed. These concise statements of core Christian beliefs helped to unify the church around a common set of doctrines and provided a clear standard against which to measure other teachings.

3. **Church Councils**: The church convened councils, such as the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD, to address theological disputes and heresies. These councils brought together bishops and other church leaders to discuss and resolve issues, leading to the formal condemnation of Gnostic teachings and the affirmation of orthodox Christian doctrine.

4. **Apologetics and Theological Writings**: Early Christian apologists and theologians, such as Irenaeus, Tertullian, and Origen, wrote extensively to refute Gnostic teachings and defend + Christianity. Their writings provided intellectual and theological arguments against Gnosticism and helped to educate and strengthen the faith of believers.

5. **Pastoral Care and Discipleship**: Church leaders emphasized pastoral care and discipleship to ensure that believers were well-grounded in their faith. By teaching sound doctrine and providing spiritual guidance, pastors and bishops helped to protect their congregations from the influence of false teachings.

Through these efforts, the early church was able to counter the threat of Gnosticism and other false ideologies, maintaining the integrity and unity of the Christian faith. If we are to have any hope at all of restoring Godly order and the freedom which is to be found in Christ alone, we must do the same! This is a call to action to all who share my hope in a living and resurrected Saviour for without Christ as King of every earthly government we are doomed to live in oppressive murderous tyranny despite all the idiotic utopian promises of the Gnostic fools who are busily deconstructing what has taken two millennia to build.
