Life ain't nothin' but bitches and money.

- N.W.A. in "Gangsta Gangsta"

 

Many curry favor with a ruler, 

and everyone is a friend of one who gives gifts.

- Proverbs 19:6

 

One of my favorite lines in all the movies is the one from George Patton in the Oscar-winning film of 1970. Played brilliantly by George C. Scott, he's there in North Africa leading the US forces in a tank battle against the Germans led by their acclaimed tank warfare expert, Erwin Rommel. Looking through his binoculars proudly examining his dominating efforts, he beams, "Rommel you magnificent bastard! I read your book!"

It seems everyone wants to win in life some way or another, but the only victory you may ever have in the midst of an insane World of patently evildoing individuals at every level of income, status, and power, is to read the Book.

This is why it blows my mind how well the Jesuit Order, working laboriously on behalf of the Institution that runs the World, has convinced just about everyone that reading the Bible is a waste of time — you know! Because the priest or some other more learned person must do it for you, you know! For your own good! And besides, never mind that anyway because you really know what is best instinctively, anyway, you know, for you, you know, follow your heart...

Yes, I know there are millions of avowed Christians out there who screech that they are just as piously respectful of that book and just as religiously obsessed as anyone, but how many actually read a chapter of Scripture every single day? Intently? Prayerfully? Without fail? Without the sad and tragically pervasive consideration that if you commit to reading and getting and holding the transcendent teleological ontological truth about all things that you are somehow disrespecting all the other people who are very sincere about their religions and beliefs and "truths"?

According the Barna, the pollster who tallies all things Christian, the percentage among Americans who read their Bible every day is barely even 10%. I'm not saying any given individual is not saved or not devout enough or any of that. I am saying if you're not steeped in the manual for living life with meaning and purpose and understanding, you'll get destroyed out there.

You must read the Book like Patton read Rommel's.

When reading the Book you'd find that after diving deep into all the different philosophies and mentalities and blitherings and blappings trying to find that always elusive contentment, there are only two realms in which to firmly reside:

The World System or The Kingdom.

Those are the only two. That's it.

The Kingdom is simple, it is — He is — Jesus Christ. Along with your repentance and giving up your very soul and even life itself, you get all that back 100-fold, and more, just by believing on Him. Amazing. Grace and Truth personified in God come in the flesh to demonstrate with His life the love He has for each one of His creations.

The World System is a whirlwind panoply of images and sounds and spectacles designed to keep you entertained and hypnotized and captured. It is all designed, arranged, and sustained with the use of the most ruthless law enforcement apparatus ever established, expressly to crack heads of those who want to fiercely clutch their wicked concupiscence. With a pleasant smile, of course. Or a pitiful whine. Or something.

Oh, and yeah, each one of those storefronts has a Jesus, some nifty figurine they can prop up to show how spangtanimously blamiferous they are at doing ramdanctulously good things. Jesus even spoke of them, just a little heads-up, maybe to subversively elicit some good Book-reading there...

If you read the Book, you'll see pretty much at the very beginning of the humankind story God sorrowfully watched one man murder his own brother to try to show that his sacrifice was good enough. That man made his decision: he didn't want anything to do with a God he couldn't command. So God obliged, sending him out of His presence forever, along with all those who'd join him through the millennia, all those who would work hard fulfilling his authorized prosecutorial duties in the great ominous cities erected for such purposes.

That man would have a signature mark people could easily identify him, just so any given usurper who dares to challenge his authority would have no excuse when his seven-fold strength is employed to protect his domain. He would then go on to flail about trying to be his brother's keeper, finally proving himself worthy, but since he knows nothing of God or what love really is, the dizzying engagement between sinner and prosecutor is one dazzling carnival of gangrenous codependency.

Shift over to a simple survey of history and current events and you can see how stunningly accurate the Book is about what people do with their lives and passions, particularly those who abjectly refuse to have Christ make them actually free and whole. Here are just a couple of the many, many things I see all the time — items profoundly related to this striking distinction.

 

On my social media feed I came across this, from someone posting named "Data Republican." It is supposedly all the connections sycophantic organizations have with the Barack Obama Foundation and with one another — I don't know what the names of any of them are, but the point is still made quite graphically.

 

 

This is The Network.

The evils of Cain's Legacy necessarily utilizing the finest human sacrifice practices through institutionalized virtue-signaling. It is a fully Roman Catholic operation — the Jesuits have simply rearranged the furniture of the Inquisition so it looks so much nicer. It weaves a massive and indeed quite lethal net to carry out the prosecutions required so all participants can be certifiably propped up as revered System enablers — it is codependency on steroids.

Don't believe it is fully Rome or it is all just so very nice and helpful whatever religious attachments they have? The remarks made by Miss Data Republican are quite instructive: "...Global nonprofits infiltrated by the governments almost from the start." The reader comments tell us just as much about the deep embedded wickedness through and through all the supposedly good and wholesome non-profits. Except that, hey! They too have books, volumes upon volumes filled with all the very turgid laws and by-laws and the most intricate financial protocols to ensure Caesar does really know just how much they try to cover up any perceived not-so-good things.

Want to know which organizations are plugged in? Going through a batch of old clippings I'd saved I came across this one, the screenshot full-page ad for one of those Too-Big-Too-Fail banks. Its super-nice thrust is the stupendously large number of super-nice do-gooding places it's really stepped up to really help out. Never mind trying to squint to identify who's who (you're more than welcome to), but among them are indeed the most gawd-awful bedfellows. Really, you'd be amazed. And this is just California. Multiply the number of extended palms-up paws by, by — how many? And you get an idea of the gargantuan size of The Network.

But hey, the bank needs to advertise its stunningly immense virtues, tell everyone about it by spending a good chunk of change for a full-page ad in the Los Angeles Times, and squawk loudly about all about how it hands money to hundreds of do-gooding organizations, many of them very Christiany yet fully connected to the World. In fact, really, "NGOs" should really be called "FCGOs" — Fully Connected Government Organizations.

And the money the bank is doling out to the FCGOs is... whose money exactly?

And is this whole consideration anything other than a business organization spouting about how gol-danged good and wholesome they are... for what purpose now? It isn't just so everyone in the ivory tower can be really deep in The Great Big Club so... so...

What exactly is going on with those in The Network taking cover behind this colossally vast do-gooding sentiment?

 

Naomi Wolf wrote a piece in her Substack, "'The Network' in the Worlds of the Elites," — yeah, it is about exactly what you think it is about — looking into what is really happening with the truly meaningful regulatory capture within the quite monolithic scientific research community, so magnified now because there is so much that is deeply insidious in and around the "AI" world going far beyond our psy-op manufactured fears that it will, say, inadvertently launch nukes.

She dives deep into how the unwieldy amounts of data collection just make the blackmail enterprise that much more proficient... against the scientists. Because the best Catholicists put their belief upon the modern-day alchemy as the one thing that will finally just make them, the scientists are now so very crucial for Cain's Legacy to succeed in the light-speed advancing "AI" world in large part by, as Wolf writes, "steering the science" (emphasis hers). No wonder, the "AI" does seem to represent something of an apotheosis of the technology the materialist-atheist-humanist worships.

She writes:

 

The scientists in this targeted "stable" deal with various dimensions; with pre-AI; with the management of awareness; with the difference between brain and consciousness; with genetics and the altering genes; with evolution; with ritual; with what makes humans human, and with what allows them to transcend human limitations. "Transhumanism" is a reductive term in this context but someone powerful, as I think [Eric] Weinstein is seeking to tell us, is very interested in science taking the same directions that support and align with where the Tech Bros are seeking to steer humanity; and the Tech Bros are taking the same directions that the targeted scientists took. This is non-random cultural evolution. What is behind this? What is the ultimate meaning? What is the desired outcome?

 

This is The World, indeed very much non-random yet explicitly declared consumed with protecting the exploitations of those who faithfully do Caesar's work among those who can't be constrained with standard law adjudication protocols. She concludes by saying she can't get how or why this is all happening, which is sad because she would get it

If she read the Book.

She'd find the World System is Roman to the core and everything she illuminates there has been in the Institution for millennia. The blackmail vice has always been one of the best weapons in the System's arsenal, starting with Cain, through the city, into Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome, now Britain and America. Interminably, incessantly: "The Network is your only safe place." To her credit she does seem to want the truth and have a hunger and thirst for righteousness — I've read of Mrs. Wolf confessing she's seen the supernatural evils woven into so many things... She's starting to get what's in the Book!

Now she's just got to identify The One Who Is The Deliverance, and discover that He indeed speaks at length about the System, about the Powers and Principalities that propel it, and above all about the Only Sanctuary from its perfectly legitimate hegemony. Sorry, none of that involves resistance, rebellion, or revolution no matter how rational or rigorous or rousing!

Unless, of course, you choose to be a dutifully enraged parishioner of the Catholicist Monolith.

 

The clincher for the reality of this incestuous relationship may be found in Bruce Bueno de Mesquita's book The Invention of Power, which posits that The Network has always, for centuries, used the deeply embedded retribution threat to make things very nice for everyone. His well-documented thesis is that official concordats, or formal agreements with the Roman Catholic Church, were the actual factors that brought anything resembling peace and prosperity and freedom and all those spiffy things to places where people could thrive — challenging the idea that those things emerged from the Reformation.

Ahh.

So The Network does and always has been employing the most instrumental thing in keeping people enslaved to what is a finely tuned and smoothly humming racket, making to everyone not just the secular state rulers, "an offer they can't refuse."

To wit:

 

By providing a way for the monarch's subjects to improve their lot... the king had a mechanism that could work directly in his interest. The incentives implanted in the terms of the concordats meant that leaders recognized that economic growth would give them more leverage with which to improve their lot, and with it, maybe even the national stature and security that could prove to be a benefit to one and all. The monarch's subjects could provide that wealth by working harder, by adopting the latest technologies and machines, and by becoming more productive. That meant, as in our bargaining game, that their rules had to adopt policies that would either coerce or encourage (and reward) the productivity of their subjects. Creating a more accountable government certainly could have served to encourage greater cooperation by granting to some subjects, at least, a say in how they are governed. Coercing subjects to do what the ruler wanted raised the risk of costly rebellion. We can be confident that coerced compliance would not have been accompanied by the creation of a parliament that made the monarch somewhat answerable to his subjects.

 

Exquisitely Jesuitic, this operation. Propagandize to the hilt something like democracy to hide the reality that the Official Autocratic Hegemony emanating from Rome is still in charge. This is "liberty" — a fun word very different from freedom in that as much as people think they are deciding, they are still only doing things because Rome, ultimately at the top of the potentate line, is giving them permission to do so.

Sounds so much like No. 6 (Patrick McGoohan) in The Prisoner, pleading with the captivated Village Devotees: "I order you to be free!" — nothing other than Rousseau's ultimate exhortation: "Government should force people to be free." No, the very veritable reality is most everyone wants to be deep in The Network for the protection the very nice racketeering feature provides. Everyone. Being so zealously Catholicist it is what they do. "Wide is the road that leads to destruction."

The entire history of civilization from then until now is riddled with plain, clear, fully comprehensible instances of Rome's Dominion, richly imaginative and fully functional at all times as it is supposed to be. Today it just takes so much more of a sophisticated form, but it is still essentially the virulently institutionalized silver-or-lead program. The latest super-advanced data mining and manipulating and manufacturing technology just makes the whole "Prince of the Power of the Air" reference in the second chapter of Ephesians so much more sobering.

 

I do want to close with this personal anecdote as a testament to the immense value of Christ as The Living Word, the only thing, really, that is any meaningful truth at all, that is any meaningful freedom at all, and it is consequentially personal.

With some friends my wife and I attended a free summer concert-in-the-park this year. We've done this frequently over the years, and these events seem to be gaining a great deal of popularity. We bring our lawn chairs and join a pretty good crowd enjoying cover bands play the music of the showcased genre — they almost always put on a terrific show.

At this particular event we sat close to a special group of people who sat in a section with folding chairs all set up for them. It was indeed very special, the group was from a home for very special needs individuals — all had some mental disability of some kind, some were severely handicapped physically as well.

One gentleman sat in the front row on the corner near us, and as I observed him throughout the concert he paid little attention to the music, but instead spent the entire time looking around as if he was expecting someone. He sat up very straight, moving his head in every direction to see if that someone was going to arrive. He also made motions as if he saw someone he knew, you know, a wave, a finger-point, a nod, a gesture as if he wanted to direct that someone to where he was so they'd join him.

Except...

There was no one there.

There was never anyone there to go to him and smile and greet him and settle in next to him to enjoy his company.

When I watched this I was intrigued, but as I even write this now I feel very sad. I don't know for two seconds his condition, I don't presume to know. But I do know this as I watched him.

No matter what:

Each of us needs another.

This special-needs gentleman simply openly demonstrated what is so hard-wired in each one of us. But don't feel so sad for him and his condition — We all in some measure do exactly the same thing in the depths of our psyches.

It is nice to have people around who are close, who exhibit some kind of affection for us, and all those relationship things are super important. But have you become acquainted with The Book? No, not to just get some words past your eyeballs. It'll lead you to the most important questions you could ever consider.

Do you obsequiously abide by Cain's splendidly-coiffed minions for your interpersonal gruel?

Or do you intimately know The Living Word who is actually there, as your good brother, good friend, very good Savior?

You may want to be aware of one added thing about This Word. He already makes a footstool of all the other pretenders the System likes to plop into your purview, there are hundreds of very spiffy looking ones. They may indeed do very good things but it's all cover for the worst customary evil, very much the "whitewashed tombs" Jesus Himself spoke of. Later at some point The Network will be incinerated in the Lake of Fire. This does involve Jesus' relationship with the kings of the World — might want to take a look-see at the most quoted Old Testament verses in the New Testament, that'd be the 110th Psalm. Be sure to read the whole thing, not just that oft-referenced first verse.

If one of the most referenced Biblical passages isn't absolutely gobsmacking, wow, I don't see how you can't be beyond frightened... unless...

 

You might want to ask The Book about The Kingdom That Is Triumphant In The End...

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

He was in the beginning with God.

All things were made through Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made.

  In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.

And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

- First passage of the Gospel of John

Notes:

  • Here's a link to a wonderful piece by Margaret Anna Alice, introducing a video series in which she eviscerates the System's propaganda machine, and has invented terminology that most accurately describes the System about as well as any I've seen. How about philanthropaths, perfect for those who run all the FCGOs and make millions virtue-signaling so magnificently at the feet of Caesar. Funny, I'd blogged myself on The Great Big Club just a couple of weeks ago.

  • The page numbers with the excerpt from The Invention of Power are 226-227. It is obviously only one gripping instance of many supporting this thesis, just in this one book. The author is a scholar at New York University.

  • So much could be added about the very good-doing codependent hegemony. A great book on the destructiveness of the hysterical self-aggrandizement that drives all the institutional virtue-signaling is Toxic Empathy by Allie Beth Stuckey. This web ministry effort is simply about further elucidating what happens when that fervor is officially codified by registering with The Network as tax exempt non-profits. Here is a page with some of those details.

  • The image of the pope making sure the "AI" does exactly what Rome wants it to do is from an Off-Guardian piece by VN Alexander about the proposed rules for LLM-shaping behavior so we all don't get entrapped by all the bad bad "AI" badness. Um, yeah, good luck with that. The certainly "AI" generated image is still a striking one. The first one of the tank battle is commonly posted on the web.

  • The CS Lewis quote was posted by Seth Dillon of The Babylon Bee right after I published. Had to include it here for obvious reasons. He whimsically writes about this exact individual in the person of the head mistress of Eustace and Jill's school at the very end of The Silver Chair. Still no less necessary as the adjunct functionaries of Cain's Legacy.

  • The Calvin and Hobbes panel is by Bill Watterson. Here's a home page piece where I make reference to his latest excellent work.

  • I'd written quite a bit on the World Devotee's apparent perception of "AI," especially in light of what the System wants them to think about it. My last home page piece touched on it, and there is this one I can direct you to. I invite you to look about my webzine for more, and here is the Archives menu page.

  • NGO stands for "non-government organization" to refer to all the good-doing groups and interests who get heavily subsidized if they can blap loudly enough about how good-doing they are and then sign up with Caesar. One more important note for clarity. I am not being facetious when speaking of the FCGOs of The Network actually doing some very good things, nor being dismissive of any given individual's rich vibrant faith on Christ when working in such places. The issue is the ungrafted Kingdom bodies should be doing anything that is transcendently righteous not for one's own good-feels but because in Christ they bring life out of genuine love for others, as well as for the only meaning, purpose, and true lasting joy anyone can ever have. Again, more on that concept in terms of what a vibrantly sowing worship community should look like is here and here.

  • As I publish this I can't help but see so many other striking things I could add to the thread of this home page piece: just the large amounts of astroturfing (paying popular influencers to make it seem like widespread favor is organic) to elevate the stature of some of the most wicked FCGOs, the desire now of the federal government to buy large stakes in major private corporations (this isn't socialism at all!), and simply how much Rome needs to perpetually create and sustain the "poor and downtrodden" so it can always be their valiant rescuer. Just has to go into future blog posts.

  • Here's a page with an idea of precisely what this thing is, this Catholicist Nation. And about actually becoming de-Catholicized, here are some thoughts.

  • The Bible passage about receiving 100-fold what you give up to love, worship, and serve the Living God by the ways of the Kingdom and not the self or the World is in the middle of the tenth chapter of Mark. The "whitewashed tombs" reference is in the 23rd chapter of Matthew. The 118th Psalm is quoted almost as much in the New Testament than the 110th, and it too speaks to Jesus' authority and the highest ranking System agents' response to that.

  • A fine passage about the wide difference between the Book of the follower of Christ and the World's books of laws and by-laws, check out the second chapter of the letter to the Colossians.

  • Wondering about the sobering reality of Jesus putting under His feet all the World potentates, including all the leaders of the FCGOs? Again read the 110th Psalm but study the last half of the first chapter of the letter to the Ephesians. 19th chapter of the Revelation also speaks quite gravely of the ultimate destiny of kings. There is so much more, just discover more about Him... Indeed the very justified judgment is severe, but His mercy is so much greater.

  • Here are a few thoughts about The Living Word.

The Latest in the Webzine (September 2025): My webzine ministry is about one thing: sharing the ways Jesus enters the lives of those who see the World for what it is and instead desire freedom and joy that can be found only in the Kingdom. My Archives Menu page wil direct you to previous takes on this theme. My Site Map page is for easy navigating through the web site.

I myself blog at least once a month at Wonderful Matters,

I am still hoping to add some thoughts to my page related to what it really means when churches graft themselves to the World System, but have yet to do it - I hope to soon!

I also wanted to add some thoughts about what an Acts 2 Church looks like in practice, but I could not fit them into this home page piece. I'd like to add them to that Acts 2 Church page, or to a stand-alone page. Hopefully I can get around to doing that!

If you like what you're reading, drop me a note! I'd love to hear from you.

I'd also like to expand the breadth of this web endeavor, so if you know of someone who is well-versed in computer systems, web design, or web marketing, please let me know. Thank you.
