What's the worst thing you could imagine being applied to you and your family RIGHT NOW. I don't mean an eternity from now, I mean RIGHT NOW, or just a few years from now.
For me that would mean having my every thought and action dictated to me by another being, not myself.
Having no options, nowhere to turn when I disagree. Living in fear of powerful retaliation upon me and my loved ones should I even think of speaking out against such terrible domination.
This reality we live in is nothing but a big multi-layered chess board and the pieces have been being quietly moved into a checkmate for individual liberty for decades. The principal tool being used against us, currently, is guilt, guilt that our actions are harming others, the environment. The only answer is to conserve, to LIMIT ourselves. Bad you, how could you try to be free, bad you!
Has anyone been watching the news and noting the grand sweeping takeover the federal government has been executing over every sector of free enterprise. HR875 is but a drop in the bucket. Just one more rook being moved into position. Just look at the power a new entity created today will have to SEIZE banks, not just the ones asking for a bailout but any bank that is "too big to fail". This was a direct effect of the hype they created by allowing the bonuses to go forward for AIG and the expectant outcry that ensued. Once again, just one more chess piece being moved. Can you figure out the next move?
Oh and don't forget to keep an eye on the rest of the world too. Its all moving towards a global regime. Multi-layered, wheels within wheels.
It doesn't matter weather you are a religious zealot (I'm not in case you were wondering, just a healthy paranoid) , an atheist or anything in between. What matters is that it IS going on right now. That a horrific prophecy handed down for hundreds of generations can and will assist in the manifestation of these events and that beleive in God or not, the prophets of old, divinely influenced or not, just may have glimpsed the events unfolding RIGHT NOW and did their best to describe them in terms of what their world view would let them.
Not afraid of the number, its just a number.
