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.
