The Brute Force of Impossibly Large Numbers

To further elaborate on a previous post about time, I now reach into not chronological numbers but rather the brute force of math and mathematical equations and formula. I do so by looking at society and probability. Some call the chances of something luck or fortune but to a believing Christian there is no such thing as luck. There is no chance. In a universe created and sustained by an omnipotent and omniscient God, there are no accidents no chance and no stray moments or molecules. There are only providence and sovereignty. There are plans and control.

Every decade, the institutions that shape Western life such as media, universities, nonprofits, government, and the arts, all grow more certain that atheism or secular humanism are the only serious worldview. In every decade, the culture grows colder and less beautiful because of the absence of God in not only society but also individual people’s lives. The soulless architecture like the Obama Library, the hollow entertainment riddled with LGBTQ+ propaganda, the art and movies with rife feminism that no one cares about, are all products of a civilization that stops leaving room for wonder. That stopped accepting the possibility of the supernatural or metaphysical. The society that has shunned God. In so doing they've shunned beauty and true meaning.

You hear it in how our godless intellectuals speak about us. Humans are not miracles wrestling with forces larger than ourselves. We are referred to as byproducts, chemical accidents, the end result of purposeless cause and effect and the output of reactions no one chose and nothing oversaw. If you look deep enough though and follow the materialist's or empiricist's own science, and you arrive at something unmistakably and clearly miraculous. Not only a mathematical miracle or astronomical improbability but a legitimate honest-to-goodness supernatural miracle.

For life to be possible at all, a series of cosmic constants, such as gravity, had to fall within impossibly narrow margins. Shift any of them even slightly, and there is no universe, no stars, and no humanity. Beyond those constants lies the precision of the universe's own starting conditions. Oxford physicist Roger Penrose calculated the odds of that precision. One in ten to the power of ten to the 123^rd or 10^{10 to the} 123 power. You can't comprehend that number, and neither can I. It cannot be written down. It’s too impossibly large. As Penrose noted, there are fewer particles in the universe than there are zeros in that figure. The number is larger than the thing it describes. Instead of conceding that God or an omnipotent designer is the cause, the atheist/materialists' answer is luck or chance. But when the odds run past anything reality can count, we got lucky stops being scientific argument or even a compelling explanation. It is an intellectually lazy excuse and escape hatch from needing to reason through your argument.

A limitless mind contemplating the impossible number, is dramatized perfectly in Watchmen. Dr. Manhattan sees every particle and moves matter at will. Yet, seeing only the material makes him cold callous and soulless. Human life starts to look meaningless to him. What breaks through the detachment is sheer enormity of the numbers…the math itself. 

Specifically, the improbability of beauty from chaos. That's what these astronomical odds look like to mere humans...uniformity, symmetry and beauty. It’s like weaving oxygen into gold. We all believe that we long to witness such a miraculous event, and yet we often neglect to realize that in the offspring of human coupling we produce a unique individual every single time. No two are the same. Every person different. Evey soul different. Billions upon billions and every single one of them improbable.

Trillions upon trillions of cells compete to create life generation upon generation. And out of that unfathomable contradiction or impossibility and against unfathomable odds, it's a human infant that emerges every single time. In a nearly perfect form, from a supposed singular point or moment of chaos eons ago in the Creation. Just luck, no plan, no design. Any rational mind sees that this is clearly nonsense.

It is in the human newborn that the most powerful materialist mind ever known is undone not by sentiment, but by the sheer scale and brute force of immense numbers. A civilization comes to resemble what it believes about itself. If the West wants its vitality back, its institutions can no longer be guided by cold nihilistic belief systems that degrade the miracle of life. We shouldn't be surprised that as a society fails to value life as it does today, it also begins to wither and die itself.

Psalm 14:1 The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds; there is none who does good.

Romans 1:19-23 For what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so that men are without excuse. For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but they became futile in their thinking and darkened in their foolish hearts. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images of mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.

One Is The Loneliest Number

Genesis 2:18 The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.

The loneliness epidemic and our societal slide into godless totalitarianism are deeply, inseparably and spiritually linked. The numbers tell the story. Marriage rates have collapsed 65% since 1970 after the immorality of the sexual revolution. Every Western nation is below replacement birth rates and some are approaching demographic extinction. Meanwhile Muslim birthrates are on the rise along with the propogation of their murderous religion. 

Men's close friendships have declined by half since 1990. I can attest to this myself. I have only two or three close friends. The rest are merely passing acquaintances. Global social isolation jumped 13.4% from 2009 to 2024. Much of it occuring during 2020 and after. About 58% of Americans feel no one truly knows them. Every structural trend of modern life is breaking us apart and leaving us alone. The primary culprits being the smartphone and one's political ideology. This has become especially true for white males who, by-and-large have been excluded from many things socially via the Progressive Left's push for inclusion, tolerance and diversity. If the Progressives and Marxist media push for inclusion, tolerance and diversity you can be assured they do not mean white males. They are to be excluded. Alienation and ostracizing of the largest contingent of the labor force is now effectivly socially cut off from most other social groups. Sometimes even in Christian churches and Jewish synagogues. Christian brotherhood be damned.

Social philosopher Hannah Arendt spent her life studying how totalitarian movements rise to power. She discovered that the mass man isn't defined by brutality and testosterone, but by isolation and lack of normal social relationships...specially loneliness. Totalitarian states don't just create lonely people, they harvest them. The masses who join these movements grew out of societies where people had already lost their connections to family, community, and class. Once those bonds dissolve, the isolated individual becomes raw material for a cold inhuman movement to shape. This is also why it is critical for the Marxist philosophy to eliminate God and even the idea of God. If God truly exists, then man is never truly alone. Destroy belief, destroy communal interaction. First with other men, then with a man’s God.

This is why religion and religious belief has to be mocked and erased by a Marxist regimes as is being done in America today. There is no other valid explanation for what is happening in America and the Western world at-large right now.

Philosophy makes a crucial distinction between isolation and loneliness. Isolation means losing your ability to act or interact politically or as a group. It is the amputation of the ability to have influence in the world around you. But loneliness goes deeper. It means losing trust in yourself, losing confidence in your own thoughts and judgment. You are literally amputated from portions of yourself through doubt and fear. Personal emotional dislocation. Isolation is about what you can do in the world, while loneliness is about who you are in the world. The Bible is clear, we are communal people and if our choice of communality is removed another form of it will be forced on us in the form of an overbearing draconian government. That is because communal behavior is, at its root, a spiritual action.

It is also why the atheistic believer strives so hard to make man believe that humans are alone in the universe and there is no God. It creates a sense of helplessness that a lonely person is trapped in a vast meaningless whirling void of pointlessness. This inevitably leads many lonely or lost people to embrace nihilism and accept that there is no point or meaning to existence. A person that embraces this mindset realizes that if all is pointless then what is the point of existing at all. Many nihilistic and godless belief systems usually end in suicides.

While many factors may contribute to suicide, more than a century of research has demonstrated significant links between a lack of social connection and death by suicide. This research suggests that social connection may protect against suicide as a cause of death, especially for men. One study found that among men, deaths due to suicide are associated with loneliness and more strongly with indicators of objective isolation such as living alone. In this study of over 500,000 middle-aged adults, the probability of dying by suicide more than doubled among men who lived alone.

Conversely, isolation is helpful for some. I tend to isolate frequently. It strengthens me because I re-establish my connection with God. The truth is simple though; I am never alone. My isolation is usually purposeful so that I have the silence and the presence of mind to engage my God as the 'still small' and fleeting voice on the wind. It is the scenario in the Old Testament from 1 Kings 19:11-12, where the prophet Elijah seeks God in a cave on Mount Horeb. 

The Lord said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.” Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper.

God reveals Himself not in the accompanying roaring wind, shattering earthquake, or consuming fire, but in the ensuing silence. If we look at Elijah himself, he too was isolated often but he was also God's greatest Old Testament prophet. He is the benchmark for all other prophets including John the Baptist. Who, above all is the one (βοῶντος/bonntos or one crying, which is a masculine singular verb) or lone voice crying out in the wilderness heralding Jesus' arrival.

The men of God often isolate but they are never lonely. For Christ, “the wilderness” or “desolate place” often became his momentarily sacred space. He regularly escaped the noise and frenzy of society to be alone with his Father, where he could give him his full attention. We see many Bible passages telling us the Jesus often isolated to be with the father not to be lonely. Matthew 14:13, 14:23; Mark 1:35; Luke 4:42, 5:16  are just a few. Jesus modeled a healthy example of isolation with God, not lonliness. Note the difference. Even in the Godhead there are three or a Trinity. Even God is not alone.

An isolated person can still think clearly, make decisions, and judge right from wrong as Jesus did. But a lonely person loses that. They become completely disconnected. They lose context and disassociate. In losing context they begin to feel they lose importance in the world. They no longer know their place in society or in the world. They feel they become worthless not only to others but also to themselves. In a way they kind of do lose the importance they were created for if they are separated from the God. A God that wishes to have a relationship with them. It is God that gives us our value. Remove God and only men are left to impress. Lonely people become victims to the next great idea or system that they believe will give them value. Those people or systems usually end up being corrupt and evil. God made us communal. We will automatically seek that out or go crazy trying.

Unfortunately, loneliness has become the everyday experience of modern masses. Into that emptiness steps totalitarian Marxist thinking, offering simple, rigid logic as a replacement for actual human connection. The ideology promises certainty when nothing else feels certain. It gives the purposeless man a purpose. Even if that purpose is lawless, murderous or violent. It is similar to the plight of the inner-city youth begin recruited into criminal drug trafficking of urban areas. Carl Jung warned that when individuals feel insignificant and invisible, they become desperate to merge into something larger than themselves.

This psychological erosion, the sense that you're nobody special, just another face in the crowd living at some address like millions of other people, creates the perfect conditions for mass movements to take hold. Mass brainwashing. A million isolated individuals don't add up to strength. They become weakness at scale. A financial and emotional liability. The dictator's advantage over free society isn't better organization. It's that he absorbs the individual completely, taking not just their vote, but their moral compass, their capacity for independent thought, and their ability to trust their own judgment. Effectively stealing their identity completely. The more disconnected individuals become from each other, the more powerful the state grows to fill that void.

Look around you. This philosophy is being enacted at an industrial scale with no signs of slowing. Belief in God prevents this morose faceless inhumanity. In the absence of God, we lose our own identities. Within him whom we were created in the image of, we find not only relationship but also our meaning for existence. This will never be found in a human government or leader.

The Measure of Moments

We all are aware of its existence. We all feel the effects of its presence in our lives. Time. A brute force awakened at the dawn of creation. Its everlasting grip is equally effective on priests and non-believers. Time / Chronos offers no judgment, no ethics and disregards the skeptics. The path that it is obeys can never be altered by human sets of values or whims. Every human attempt to take over control is doomed to instant failure. If brings exultant highs and can also bring extinction, devastation or an end to entire nations. There are no restraints it crosses all borders and always marches forward. Relentless, unfeeling and unbroken.

It is the origin of all but God and assures demise for everyone. The scale of every human action is dwarfed by its influential presence. Like a river it is flowing, never stopping, ever growing. It breaks every dam and shreds all barriers while it flushes away remembrance because it destroys those that retain the memories. Every rule can be shifted over its course. There is no human way to predict it. All-embracing and an impact that’s never fading. Man is impotent in its monolithic face.

The Bible shows man is hapless and defenseless against it…but God is not.

Divine Control is exerted throughout all time. Time does not exist without time. Human history is inserted between two eternities. In the infinite solitudes of the past, before the birth of time, the mind has nothing on which to rest, nor can the eye pierce beyond the present order of things into the immense eternity future. Between these two there is a range of time, forming the stage upon which human history is erected. Here the mind has width and breadth to contemplate.

God made time for us by giving a chronological direction to His power. God has allowed himself to interact with humans in a timebound manner. We need to realize that before anything was even made including time, God dwelt in that eternity which knows no periods, no boundaries and no demarcation. No voice could be heard in that vast solitude but God’s. No presence but his.

Having created it, God rules over the whole course of time which He has made. God's control is observed by man in the events of time. Events take place at certain seasons, and a season is a portion or period cut from time in time. A quantified packet of time. The Flood, the giving of the Law and the establishment of Judaism, the founding of Christianity, the invention of Printing, the Reformation, the American Revolution, the Enlightenment, Scientific Revolution, the Industrial Revolution are some of the great births of eras, or epochs in time. These are the chronological joints that connect and strengthen the whole frame of human history. Humans are participants in them but they are by no means in control or them.

In the smooth course of events, human minds often fail to grab on to and pay attention to events. Conversely, great events startle men into surprise, and invite contemplation as I am doing now. Just as Solomon did in Ecclesiastes. Solomon is forcing us to take stock of it all. The mundane and the traumatic. The pointless and important.

Therefore, startling events in thoughtless world arouses skeptics and believers alike to behold the mighty hand of the great Controller of time. We take particular note of startling events by memorializing their dates. The time and the humans within it change but the divine control of it is marked by an unchangeable order in the elapsing of moments. Behind the chaos, the wars, the births and the deaths is the constant ticking of a clock as time unwinds towards eternity. This is what is meant in Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

Ecclesiastes 3:1 ~ There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.

With God there is no disordered mixture of things-no wild confusion. The craziness of the last few years in American society has been a whirlwind. Many have vocalized their confusion and discomfort over the uncertainty of what is going on. Nothing is beyond God’s visible horizon. God cannot be taken by surprise, or plunged into a sudden perplexity. All the events of time arise from God’s fixed order or allowed by God’s omnipotence. They are determined by a plan ordained by God but usually misunderstood by humans.

It is a plan that can be traced in a line being drawn by a stern and steady hand with the precision and confidence of infinite skill. We call something this structured, ordered or this regular something akin to law. The laws of nature, the laws of science, the laws of time. That is because that is the way these things are seen from our point of view. On God's side it is the exercise of will; not a callous unintelligent force.

God had no need for time. In grace He gave it to mankind. God had no need of it. He has no mistakes to repair, nor can any reason arise to oblige Him to retouch and modify His plan. In Hie vast design no element, however small, is omitted or overlooked. He has power to carry all His purposes into effect; hence such a Being has no cause or reason for Him to depart from a fixed order.

The study of nature teaches us that there is a need of such an order in human events. There is such a fixed order in the physical world, in the great orbs that roll above us. The laws of nature are regular, severe, exact. We can depend upon them in their inflexible constancy. They are so consistent that you could set a clock by them. All things in the universe are ordered by number, weight, and measure. The purpose and the effects of time affect both man and lifeless matter alike. Erosion, degradation like a flowing river wearing down the riverbed.

Divine Revelation to man, is itself, timebound. Revelation itself implies the act or an instance of making known something previously unknown or concealed. None of this possible without the ceaselessness of the hands of time. In God’s perfect timing, He reveals things to us that he deems fit. What is the Gospel itself but the kingdom of God, implying authority, law, and order in the world now. The Gospel itself was revealed and unfold in time. The perfect time or Kairos.

Galatians 4:4 ~ But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law.

The teaching of the Bible is that man, as an inhabitant of this world, and as a candidate for immortality, is completely under the control of God in time due to the Gospel. You either accept it and are saved, or you refuse it and are condemned. All choices and actions anchored in time. God is patient that none should perish but the offer itself has a deadline or an endpoint. Salvation is eternal but the offer is not.

Mortality…it is a huge timepiece wound up by the Almighty and after He sets it in motion nothing can stop it until He says that time shall be no longer for that person. But here, now, it ever vibrates and ever advances-ticking one child of Adam into existence, and ticking another out. Now it gives the whirr of warning, and the world may look out for some great event; and presently it fulfils its warning, and rings in a noisy revolution. But there as its index travels on so resolute and tranquil, what tears and raptures attend its progress? It was only another wag of the sleepless pendulum: but it was fraught with destiny, and a fortune was made. A heart was broken. An empire fell. We cannot read the writing on the mystic cogs as they are coming slowly up; but each of them is coming on God's mission and carries in its graven and divine decree. Dr. J. Hamilton

The Counterfeit gods of Bad Ideas

We live in an era of unlimited access to information. Some of that is a gift, but it has also given us a direct, unbroken view into horror and evil. The view and depth of the evil is unfathomable and horrifyingly cavernous. Cities flattened on a screen by on military armament. The curtain pulled back on the Epstein Files and the perpetrators mostly being unfettered and left to freedom. A steady feed of stories you once thought belonged only to your nightmares. Some shut it off and pretend it isn't there. Others stare into the abyss until it stares back, then become scarred and cynical or worse, they become like the evil they abhor.

But it has always been this way. Way back, 2000 years before Epstein, there was the miscarriage of justice in Christ’s crucifixion. The people knew Christ was innocent and Barrabas was guilty but still chose to set the murderer free and murder Christ instead. Paradoxical. There are the perversions and horror of Caligula, who spent seven years on Capri engaged in sadism and cruelty. Down through the centuries the evil and horrors have continued unabated.

No matter the era, there have been people so evil that rationality and logic refuse to explain them. They have always existed. As far as I can tell, there are three roads to evil. These often follow each other in order and they do so for a reason.

1. They worshiping the wrong things. They abandon God, opening themselves to false ones.

2. They succumb to warped or evil ideology or evil gods or ideas

3. They become so bitter that they resent life itself, thereby drift into nihilism.

First, worshiping the wrong things. The moment you put anything before the idea of God or try to supplant God’s proper position in the world, something or someone inferior will take His place. Man’s minds are idol making factories. If we push God out, something else will set itself up in our thinking making itself a god in our lives. There are some types of people who set wealth, lust, power, and status as his highest values and will do anything to obtain them.

Because God has been removed as the basis for morality, morality evaporates. The people who reject God not only have a proclivity to pull of moral restraints, they will gladly lie, cheat, and steal for more sex, control, fame, and money.

Once these lesser gods are attained, the godless immoral believe that God’s morality or true morality no longer applies to him. They stand above the petty Biblical guardrails. If they won’t abide by God’s law then man’s laws fair even worse. They posit that laws or rules are for the weak. At the same time these types of godless people count themselves among the strong who dictate them. They make themselves gods in the vacuum they created by rejecting the true God and the morality His character embodies. They again, accept themselves and their own thinking as a lesser God thinking it is superior.

Everyone else becomes an instrument to their ends. A tool, not a person. Dehumanization and callous action towards other people become commonplace. In their eyes, other humans or people hold not value other than to propagate their evils.

Second, ideology supplants the knowledge of God (Romans 1:21-22). These types of people, on stepping away from a God and a religious moral worldview, fill the vacuum with ideology. Marxism, transgenderism, feminism, wokism, nihilism, progressivism, anarchism, environmentalism, nationalism, capitalism, empiricism, hedonism, scholasticism…the list is endless. God no longer works in mysterious ways because he is no longer in people’s lives by their own choice to push Him out. Instead, these atheistic godless drones hold and think they control a system that tells them exactly why things are the way they are and how they ought to be. They cast and attempt to portray themselves as educated, learned and as scientific…yet are mentally, morally and spiritually as dead as the day is long.

They view the world is the way it is because of an intelligible chain of cause and effect they created and have control over in the absence of God. They sadly only fool themselves in doing so. The communists held it to be class struggle. The Nazis, genetic determinism. The ideologue believes he is entitled to seize that chain, choosing new causes so the world is remolded in his ideology's image. We see it today in the American Left Marxists and the media that tows their line of immoral and depraved thinking. People become cogs in machines, swapped out or sacrificed in the pursuit of utopia.

Lastly, we see the end result of the first two. Resentment. Those who see themselves as helpless victims end up hating life itself. They believe life was meant to be easy and every hardship was thrust upon them unfairly. I never asked to come into this world. Life is a curse, they whine, yet they are too cowardly to end it, so their purpose becomes opposing those who are truly alive. These are the people who always play the victim. They are always demanding others give to them to assuage they misery. The unemployed malcontents that attack the productive members of society. They attach themselves like parasites spreading a moral disease and siphoning off life of those who are productive for society. The Carmelo Anthony’s and his supporters. The people violently protesting the rule of law and ICE facilities.

In essence these three roads to ruin are an instance of people making God's of ideologies. Said more plainly they are counterfeit god's (lowercase 'g') of bad ideas. Ideas that both the Bible and history have shown to be failures. In the past they've gone by different names, but the end is always the same. Their value system inverts. Good becomes evil. Their evil and their parasitic behavior becomes 'good'.

Strength is mocked. Weakness praised. Wealth becomes theft and theft becomes reclaiming what was rightfully theirs. Helplessness is learned and acceptable for the trade-off which is free things from the government or the rich who want to own them. Never once realizing they are in-fact, accepting a form of slavery for trinkets and baubles. These three roads have always existed and always will. You cannot stop others from walking the road away from God and dragging many with them into the pit…but it is your responsibility not to walk that road. If you chose to do so, you are not only complicit, you can only blame yourself for the misfortune and evil that befalls or plagues you.

The American Marxist Ruse

Although I am not a fan of Donald Trump or any politican for that matter, his administration has finally launched its first substantial attack on the totalitarian deep state. For 40 years, the SPLC or Southern Poverty Law Center decided who got de-banked, censored, FBI flagged or fired by HR. Between 2014 and 2023, at the height of the woke charade, the SPLC allegedly funneled more than $3 million to different white nationalist movements, including an organizer of the Charlottesville Tiki Torch Rally. The Tiki Torch Rally to took place on the night of August 11, 2017, when hundreds of white far-right groups marched through the University of Virginia campus carrying flaming tiki torches and chanting slogans such as “You will not replace us” and “Jews will not replace us”. The demonstration was part of the buildup to the Unite the Right rally the next day, which ended in violence when a car was rammed into a counter protest group, killing Heather Heyer and injuring dozens of others.

The SPLC moved that money through shell entities, committed wire fraud, and conspired to commit concealment money laundering to manufacture the very extremism it purported to oppose. These losers are not an outlier. It is the first domino. There are many similar organizatiosn in other western nations. The SPLC in America, Canada's Anti-Hate Network, the UK's Hope Not Hate, or Germany's Amadeu Antonio Foundation. All of these operate the same way. They expand the definition of hate until it fits anything and anyone. Then they grant themselves power to police that expanded definition. Those that control language control thought. Those that control thought control minds. Those that control minds control the masses.

Then, as the Trump Administration’s indictment alleges, they fund the extremists at the edge of the definition to keep their power alive. This pattern is older than any of these organizations. Approximately 500 years ago, Machiavelli warned leaders to hide their ruthlessness behind manufactured righteousness. In George Orwell's 1984, the regime invents a false rebel, Emmanuel Goldstein, and forces citizens into a daily two-minute hate ritual to keep their loyalty alive. Criminal regimes cannot long exist without an enemy to focus the masses on. If the masses ever begin to realize that the enemy is the regime, the totalitarians will lose power or worse, be taken to the gallows.

Hannah Arendt explained that totalitarian movements cannot survive without an enemy because a movement at rest can be examined, and a movement that can be examined can be falsified. If anyone should’ve understood this is was Hannah. Hannah Arendt was a German-American political theorist and philosopher whose influential works examined totalitarianism, power, human rights, and the nature of evil. She herself was a Jewish refugee from Nazi Germany. She authored landmark books including The Origins of Totalitarianism. She lived what she taught.

In communist China, Mao Zedong turned this into policy with his Second Revolution doctrine, a war on the oppressive residue in culture, family, and the private mind the moment the first revolution ran out of formal targets. Andrew Lubachowski, living under the communists in Poland, noticed every totalitarian organization uses ideology to mask its real desire which is unchecked power. Arendt also warned that totalitarian movements take over by building parallel institutions. This is what we see now in America clearly. There are shadow teachers associations that will only support Marxist political candidates. They support transgender/transexual reading time in elementary schools and push the idea that immorality is moral. There are shadow lawyers clubs. Most prominent among them is the ACLU or American Civil Liberties Union. They name themselves in a manner that makes them seem pro-American but they are nothing more than an organization of Marxist lawyers trying to create case law that favors Marxist outcomes to set case precedence. The same pattern that named the SPLC. All the while they are pushing American towards a Communist State. That is also why the SPLC and ACLU are often mockingly called the Southern Poverty Lawless Communists and Amercian Communist Lawless Union. They are not trying to assure civil liberties but rather subjugate people under a Marxist totalitarian government.

They create scientific institutes creating doctored studies that fit their ideological lies and supports the power of the totalitarians party. Nowhere was this more blatant and obvious than the COVID scam of 2020 and the subsequent upheaval cause by the Biden Administration. By the time Biden was out of office in 2024 most didn’t even recognize their country anymore and people to this day are ready for internal upheaval even if it means a war if we ever revert back to the Biden years of chaos.

So in these examples we see a nefarious doppelganger mimicking legitimate organizations and most non-critically thinking Americans are non-the-wiser. Each of these parasitic organizations mentioned above mirror a real body and people cannot tell the difference between them without high scrutiny and critical thought. When the legitimate organization ceases power as in the transition of power between the 2016-2020 Trump Administration and the 2020-2024 Biden Administration, the shadow structures replace the originals overnight and invert their purpose. That is exactly what we saw in November of 2020. Orwell described the same pattern in 1984. The Ministry of Truth manufactures lies and rewrites history. The Ministry of Peace runs permanent war. The Ministry of Plenty engineers the scarcity that keeps the population dependent. The Ministry of Love handles surveillance, interrogation, and torture.

Properly identified American Marxism or Cultural Marxism describes left-leaning social, academic, or political movements. From their perspective, they are performing a "ruse". This ruse refers to the idea that progressive policies such as Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, or identity politics are deceptively packaged as benign civil rights efforts, but are fundamentally designed to undermine traditional American values, free markets, and the US Constitution. It is an intentional Marxist shift to subvert Western society from within rather than through direct economic revolution or actual physical and violent war.

As counterintuitive as it seems, in the West, anti-hate groups fund hate groups. The SPLC indictment is the first public audit of what happens when a shadow institution operates for 40 years inside a democracy that never noticed it was there. The question now is, can the West realize the so-called anti-fascists like Antifa and those protesting outside of ICE facilities are actually Communist revolutionaries before it is too late?

Diabolos: King of the Infernal, Part 2: A Friend of the Devil

The cause of the fall from heaven is often misunderstood. Lucifer became Satan as we know him now at a steep cost. Some writers think that he was then cast out of heaven (Luke 10:18) and then made the ‘air’ and the ‘earth’ the settings for his unholy activity (Ephesians 2:2; 1 Peter 5:8). The haughty ruler of Babylon and the miserable King of Tyre (Ezekiel 28:12-18) is fittingly described in parallel with the once glorious chief in heaven. Ezekiel 28’s passage is a lamentation against the king of Tyre that describes a figure of perfect wisdom and beauty who falls because of pride. Though the prophecy is directed at a human ruler, many rightly allegorically interpret it as describing Satan's fall from heaven.

The description of a created, perfect being in "Eden, the garden of God," adorned with gems, is seen as referring to Satan's origins rather than the human king. The "guardian cherub" (Ezekiel 28:14) is understood as representing Satan's former position as a high-ranking angel before his rebellion. The passage's mention of the cherub's heart being "proud because of your beauty" and the finding of "unrighteousness" is interpreted as describing Satan's motive for rebelling against God. The fire that consumes the cherub symbolizes divine judgment and Satan's ultimate destiny; a concept found in other scriptures.

So, his pride was his downfall, as he elevated himself because of his exceptional beauty and brightness. Such a shallow reason to be doomed and condemned. We see the same often in the haughty behavior or celebrities and so called ‘stars’.

"Your heart became proud on account of your beauty, and you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor. So, I threw you to the earth; I made a spectacle of you before kings" Ezekiel 28:17

In this passage he is also expressly called an angel (Ezekiel 28:14-16) and a fallen angel. He was an "anointed" cherub, set apart for a God given task. He is spoken of as having dwelt in the garden of God, the paradise of God, the holy mountain of God, the sanctuary in Exodus 38:13. Because of the enormous and eternal issues related to Satan's fall, we need to more closely examine the causes of his rebellion. That pride and ambition were especially the sins by which Satan fell is sufficiently evident from Paul's warning about being lifted up with pride.

Lucifer exceeded all other angels in power and glory was made something of an equivalent to "Secretary of State" to represent God, Satan was not content with a place of subordination to the will of God. He rebelled against divine sovereignty and allowed self-will to assert itself in defiance of God's will (Isaiah 14:13, 14; 2 Thessalonians 2:4). The exact point in time in which Satan rebelled against his Creator is known only to God and Satan. Was it an instantaneous decision or a long festering grudge only they would know. What we do know is there was a point or decisive moment in eternity past when this ‘prince’ of the Most High renounced his allegiance to God, and thereby changed from "Lucifer," the "light-bearer" of divine glory, into an "adversary" of God and a "slanderer" of His people. In that exact moment he became a fallen being before the world we understand today and before man and woman were created as evidenced from the fact that he appears to Eve as the serpent and deceived her in Genesis 3.

Because of His sovereign will, God gave to angels and men, regardless of the perfection of intellect and will, the ability to choose between good and evil. It was at this point that Lucifer used his gift against the Giver. Created in grace and lifted to the supernatural plane, we would have thought that his dazzling quality of angelic perfection would have precluded the very thought of sin. Instead, he symbolically and through actions spit in God’s face. In essence, Satan failed to make his will one with God's will. The two purely spiritual sins of pride and envy are the primary culprits. Since envy demands pride as an absolute prerequisite, it becomes clear that the sin of Lucifer was pride.

The form of pride resulting in the fall of Lucifer was the pride of position. He wanted not only to be equal with or above God (Isaiah 14:12-14), but to prevent the divine purpose for the Son of God and for the sons of men. Some of the writers argue that the devil rebelled against God because of His desire to make men like angels and to take the place of fallen angels. The redemptive purpose of God is not to give men the vacated thrones of evil angels but to fashion all who believe into His church.

... that the angels, learning of the setting up of a kingdom for the man Christ Jesus, and of the divine purpose that the human nature was to be united to the Second Person of the Trinity, and that He was to be the Head of all principality and power, became envious of their own position. God having thus declared His great love for mankind, Satan, or Lucifer, being the archangel, the very highest and brightest of all God's creatures, could not bear it, thought it below him and a great debasing of his exalted position. So, he conceived rebellion against the Almighty, and drew a vast company with him: their refusing to be subject to Christ, as man thus assumed, was their first sin and in opposition set up another kingdom against Him. ~ Jonathan Edwards

It was through pride that Lucifer became Satan, the "black sheep" in the family of God. Satan was God’s original Judas. Through this opposition to God, he brought a curse upon himself. God never cursed sinful man, but the serpent is under a curse that can never be repealed. That is why man's pride makes him a friend of the Devil. How true it is that the Devil sleeps like a dangerous animal in the shadow of good works, when we conceive a secret admiration for ourselves, we too condemn ourselves. Wise are those who become poor in spirit. Humility is the core of the Godliness and the path to righteousness. That is why Philippians 2:5-11 says:

“In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross! Therefore, God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.:

Jesus in Philippians 2 does the exact opposite of what Satan did in his fall thereby losing the exact thing he wanted…God exalting him to the highest places and exalting his name before all other names. Arrogance equals failure, humility equals God-like character. Blessed are the meek…

We must never lose sight of is that the devil, although a fallen angelic being, is still an angel. True, he is a rebel angel, but he is still an angel created being having been created by God with and among the other celestial spirits; even his fall and disgrace did not deprive him of the angelic nature. Satan retains the privileges of his unchanged nature and is still able to display his original grandeur (2 Corinthians 11:14). Although now the angel of darkness, the devil persists because, in spite of everything, he is still an angel. We do not know the breathless height of perfection from which Satan fell: we only know that he carried this ‘perfection’ with him into darkness.

This should give us pause before arrogantly proclaiming that we can easily vanquish him as a foe. That is foolishness. By his angelic nature, the devil enjoys that independence distinctive characteristic of a pure spirit. Because of his angelic independence he is immune to pain, to injury, to sickness, to death; indeed, he is even immune to human discomfort. All though he is already morally corrupted, there are in him no possibilities of corruption and physical decay, no threat of a separation of parts that will result in death. He is physically incorruptible, immune to the pains, the limitations of flesh, immortal. Only God, by His almighty power, could destroy Satan, recalling the borrowed existence by which the devil lives; and this God will not do. Angels are spirits as opposed to flesh and blood. God’s main purpose to maintaining Satan’s existence is to have him serve as a bad example.

"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms Eph 6:12 also Luke 24:39). 

One of the most startling characteristics of the devil, to us who are constrained by time is his agelessness. It surprises many to see him as young now as when the world was born. He is undiminished, unweakened by age. Even now he has all the undiminished energy and dynamic robustness of full youth. Yet the fact is plain enough: a spirit does not grow old. They only age through eons. Since before Genesis 1 there is no moment in which he does not possess the full strength of angelic life. From the very first instant of his existence down. The Devil still lacks nothing of his perfection except for his morality. He has watched for millennia, the world grow old and the generations of men and women pass in unending procession from birth to death; when the last of that long line has passed, and the sun has set for the last time, Satan will still be young and vibrant. Yet, he will be condemned even in this pristine condition.

Although created to prominence in the realm of angels and of men, Satan is doomed to eternal remorse and torment. Cast out of heaven (Luke 10:18), then to the earth (Revelation 12:9), he is to be restrained for 1,000 years in the bottomless pit (Revelation 20:1-3) before being thrown into the lake of fire, the final depository of the devil, his fallen angels, and the wicked.

"And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever" (Revelation 20:10).

Engulfed by the blackest despair, and bitterly hating himself for his plight and for his burning opposition to God, Satan's terrible doom has been announced since time immemorial. Never to hope again. Condemned, just as the arrogant men who say this is no God or act as if they are gods.

Diabolos: King of the Infernal, Part 1: They/Them

Diabolos. Διάβολος. Devil. He goes by a litany of other names, but we know him best as The Devil, Lucifer or Satan.

…God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment. ~2 Peter 2:4

And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority but abandoned their own home-these he has kept in darkness, bound everlasting chains for judgment on the great Day. ~Jude 6

It seems almost incomprehensible to me that any being so near to the throne of God, beholding His glory, would sin against Him and consequently suffer expulsion from His presence. But here we are…eons later contemplating this very thing. Wondering how something so smart could be so stupid. Something so esteemed by God could be brought so low. How something so beautiful could be made so ugly.

The Scripture is not silent as to open rebellion in the angelic hierarchy. The majority of the angelic beings have been true to God since their creation. They never cease to do His will in heaven. I wrote about them earlier this year. They have never defaulted, have ever been ready to run His errands. These are the angels who excel in strength and who, as God's ministers, messengers, do His commandments and heed His voice and His word.

"Praise the Lord, you his angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding, who obey his word. Praise the Lord, all his heavenly hosts, you his servants who do his will" ~ Psalm 103:20-21.

We need to consider the highest angelic being responsible for the angels' rebellion against God. He is the pinnacle of hubris and spit in the eye of God. This type of arrogance and audacity is beyond human fathoming and apparently beyond otherworldly angelic fathoming too in many cases. We now enter the mind of darkness and try to consider the highest angelic being responsible for the angels' rebellion against God. It is evident that Satan is the leader of the fallen angels, for our Lord speaks of "the devil and his angels.” Revelation, reason, and experience warn us that there is a spiritual intelligence abroad in the world which is malignant and ceaselessly hostile to men.

So, what else can be discerned from Scripture? The Bible teaches that this intelligence is a person, not in the same sense as the Holy Spirit is a person, nor in the same sense as you and I are individual persons; but he has real personality or persona, in some sense comparable to divine and to human personality, but by no means the same as either. Clearly nefarious and not on the level though. Somehow corrupted, warped or debased.

The devil is certainly not a man with horns, hooves and a tail, as he is usually depicted; nor is he a entity to joke about. He needs to spiritually be dealt with in a somber manner as he is exceptionally dangerous. Personal pronouns are used to describe him, and we are warned to beware of his subtle craftiness. Currently, all forms of pronouns are used too, him, her, they, etc. Of course, the devil's best trick is to convince men that he doesn’t exist. If he is non-existent or dead, there must be someone carrying on his devilish work-which was never more evident than it is today. The modern mind may reject the idea of a satanic ruler because of the popular, repulsive and grotesque representation of him the Middle Ages gave the world, but the fact is that he makes plans with highest intelligence and is exceedingly powerful. His existence and influence were firmly believed by our Lord and His apostles.

Many Names (Therefore Pronouns)

Scripture, the only source of correct information concerning spiritual beings, makes it clear that one of the evil angels is vastly superior to the rest in capacity and influence, possessing far more power than the others, and referred to singly as being the grand enemy of God and man. Satan's name appears fifty-four times in the Bible. Hence Satan is designated by various names and titles of peculiar significance, which apply to one being only, revealing features of his character as is common in the names in the Bible:

Satan means "Adversary" (1 Peter 5:8, KJV)

Abaddon, Apollyon (Revelation 9:11) both mean "Destroyer"

Lucifer (Isaiah 14:12) means Daystar, Bright One, Morningstar or "Shining One"

Devil (Revelation 12:10) means "accuser," "slanderer"

Dragon (Revelation 12:9) indicates his power

The accuser of our brethren (Revelation 12:10)

Beelzebub (Matthew 12:24) means "lord of flies" or "prince of demons"

Belial (2 Corinthians 6:15), the low, abject one, means "worthlessness" in Old Testament

The deceiver of the whole world (Revelation 12:9)

An enemy (Matthew 13:28)

The wicked one (Matthew 13:19)

The father of lies (John 8:44)

A murderer from the beginning (John 8:44)

The prince of the power of the air (Ephesians 2:2)

Prince of this world (John 12:31; 14:30; 16:11)

The god of this world (2 Corinthians 4:4)

The prince of demons (Matthew 12:24)

That old serpent (Revelation 12:9)

The tempter (Matthew 4:3; 1 Thessalonians 3:5)

The tormentor (2 Corinthians 12:7)

Surely such an array of dreadful identities reveals the character of the devil is and provides the exact reasons why we should steer clear of him. HE is by no means a pushover and we should not engage him without the power of God and his Word on our side. He is a mighty angel, superior in natural capacity, power and wisdom, he excelled all other angels in honor and dignity and still outdoes them in discernment and shrewdness. Yet he was not always a who he is now.

Who then was he and how did he become what he is? At first, the light bearer now the prince of darkness, earning for himself the moniker as enemy of God, enemy of all that is good. We should never underestimate his power to cultivate an ignorance of his reality in modern society. Most of atheistic and unspiritual people are ignorant of him or worse, think he’s hip or cool. Blindness to the existence of an enemy makes it impossible to overcome his stratagems. It is foolish to underestimate his abilities and thereby invite defeat and welcome slavery to him. So now we need to understand him. To understand the depth of his malice and hatred of God and men we need to see just how far he fell. We need to understand his origins and of the devil's original angelic splendor. This way we can fully comprehend the misery of his current existence and future punishment.

While God is the Creator of all angels, strictly speaking He did not create the devil as he is now. He created a unique angelic being who, by a free act cut himself off from God. He therefore turned himself into an adversary of God. Originally, he was Lucifer, and the highest of the angels, but who lost nothing of his natural supremacy-which he still exerts over the hierarchy of angels who fell with him.

Hogwarts and Our Political Education System

Harry Potter depicted how tyrannical regimes take over society. When Hogwarts fell under the grip of Dolores Umbridge, it wasn't through conquest or violence, it happened with paperwork, new titles, and a flood of rules from the Ministry. That's how authoritarianism actually shows up, not with tanks, but with memos, safety policies, and smiling officials including religious leaders who tell you it's all for your own good.

After her time at Hogwarts, Umbridge rises to prominent and influential positions in the Ministry of Magic in the Improper Use of Magic Office. After a while, Umbridge became the Senior Undersecretary to the Minister for Magic, Cornelius Fudge. Umbridge used this position of power to satisfy her hatred of part-humans, for example through new Anti-Werewolf Legislation which made it nearly impossible for Remus Lupin to find a new job after resigning his post as Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor at Hogwarts in 1994. This is an eerie parallel of all the liberal malcontents of the 1960’s taking over judicial and institutional power in America.

JK Rowling's story reads less like fiction and more like political propoganda and a warning of how our own American institutions have gone rogue. Umbridge didn't arrive with soldiers, she walked in wearing a pink cardigan, has kitten plates on the wall, and called herself High Inquisitor, a title invented by decree. That's where real tyranny begins, in the administrative state where power hides behind process.

Once inside, she did what bureaucrats do best: multiply the rules. Enforce absurd degrees like forcing vaccination and accepting the lunacy of the transgender movement. Accepting that biological women are men and men are women. One decree after another turns normal behavior and normal people into something punishable because they do not toe the line of the absurd laws and forced conversions. That is a two-tier justice system in practice. Villains rule while everyone else chokes on unobeyable laws.

Umbridge like most politicians is depicted as being an evil, cruel, authoritarian, power-hungry, bigoted and despicable woman who represented the worst of political power, under a sweet image filled with kittens, fluff, and girlishness. Strangely, just as we see in feminism, transgenderism and a bevy of other ‘isms’ pushed by the progressive leftists. In truth she is sadistic and overwhelmingly corrupt, to the point of finding joy in torturing students like Harry.

Just as in the Hogwarts School, so too the American political structure. We see mandates and paperwork for citizens, indulgence for gangs, cartels, and well-connected insiders. The infiltration of education at Hogwarts and in America were the opening salvo in this strategy. Defense against the Dark Arts was neutered into theory only, stripping students of the skills to defend themselves from the actual evil. Then the Carrows (Death Eaters or pure-blood supremacists who use evil to enforce their ideology) turned classrooms from the youngest to the oldest into indoctrination halls to push their agendas.

This is how totalitarians operate: capture schools, rewrite curricula, and shape the next acolytes before seizing the true centers of power. Essentially, creating an army of indoctrinated mindless evil. It is the line often attributed to Lenin:

"Give me four years (college) to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.”

We see the very same things in today's schools, universities, and hiring offices of companies and gathering some of societies most confused malcontents where slogans and box-ticking beat actual intelligence, skill and courage.

“Free Palestine” …as if it wasn’t already. Their own violence reaped violence upon themselves.

“Love is Love” …as if it is when in reality it destroys life, spreads disease and sexually depraves minds.

“Defund the Police” …as if more disorder is going to quell the chaos.

“No Human is Illegal” …except when they have in fact violated longstanding laws.

“No One is Illegal on Stolen Land” …even though it was conquered land.

Propaganda then seals the fate of all those under these monsters at Hogwarts and in America. Daily Prophet denies Lord Voldemort's return, smears Harry, prints only the official line. Language becomes a weapon. Educational decree: Undesirable Number One or as in America...'Basket of Deplorables'. We could see this in the lead up to the murder of Charlie Kirk too. Charlie’s words were viewed as violence and as such justified a violent/deadly response. Euphemisms that soften reality while hardening control and them hardening hearts.

Surveillance and informants follow as the inquisitorial squad deputizes students to police other students. The objective isn't truth, it's fear, compliance, humiliation, silence, violence and then eventually...death. We saw this in the forced masking and vaccination of Covid. Ironically, this would come full circle and fall back on the diehard liberals who, to this day six years later, are mocked for still wearing a mask.

Umbridge's blood quill makes Harry carve lies into his own skin. Real regimes do the same with forced apologies, public shaming, and required statements. In the 1960s Hannah Arendt coined the phrase, "The banality of evil” referring to the takeover of totalitarianism in Nazi Germany by the likes of Adolf Eichmann. She said this when she attended the trial of the Nazi Adolf Eichmann in Jerusalem in 1961.

Arendt was one of the first to discover what was happening in the camps in Nazi Germany and the first to study the new system of Concentration Camps or the “corpse factories”, as she called them. When she watched the Nuremberg trials in the 1940s, she was aghast. She thought the Nazis had, "exploded the limits of law". This changed when she went to Jerusalem in 1961 to cover the trial of Adolf Eichmann. What she saw in Eichmann was an under-ordinary person who believed he was far more important than he was. He was not a figure of radical, awful, evil, but a small, pompous man – talking in cliches, self-important and radically unable to think about where he was and who he was talking about. Eichmann was banal. Just like liberals, educators and American politicians. Totally out of touch with reality.

Like Dolores Umbridge, not outwardly monsters with sharp teeth, but regular people doing harm because that's the policy and those are the rules. That's why the parallel should be so obvious to those of us who are not brainwashed and swept into the insanity. Tyranny rarely marches in boots. It comes with flowers, love and pleasant voices. The kittens on Umbridge’s wall are the point. It's meant to feel normal. When in reality it is insanity and evil directly below the facade.

Hogwarts wasn’t saved by more idiotic laws and a politician (like Trump) coming to save the day. It was saved because students or the plebians refused to bow like slaves. The answer to today’s societal ills lies with the blue-collar everyman. The burden is on the common man and woman. The answer is to tell the truth and be Biblical in our stance. We need to learn to defend, and push back early. I’ve been doing this for two decades and only now are people starting to see and understand the truth.
