0:00:00 - 0:00:20So in other videos, I've talked about riots and a little bit about civil violence. I wanna talk more generally about violence and then give more specific examples as well. If that makes sense in Genesis 611, we read the earth was the earth also was corrupt before God and the earth was filled with violence
0:00:19 - 0:00:44. And, and this was one of the conditions that triggered the flood in Noah's Day. Now, um this word violence in Hebrew, it's uh well, I shouldn't say in Hebrew if you trace it through the Old Testament, you're gonna see some really interesting things that maybe aren't so obvious just from the word violence
0:00:44 - 0:01:10. Um So what, what actually happened during that time is that the earth, everyone on the earth except for Noah, they had turned aside from the knowledge of God's character that they, that they had and the knowledge of his plan. And of course, that, that came through Adam in the beginning and was, was
0:01:10 - 0:01:38carried down through his descendants. And so it was widely known, these things were widely known and the blessings that these people enjoyed exceeded what we think of when we think of ancient people, in terms of prosperity and technology, they, they had a lot more than we imagine them having. And what
0:01:37 - 0:02:07happened was, and this is human nature. What happened was they used all those benefits that they had simply to fulfill. They're falling human nature. So they were, they were motivated solely by personal gain without respect to the cost to others or the merit of that personal gain or the longevity of
0:02:07 - 0:02:31that personal gain. In other words, human nature is to maximize short term pleasure for oneself. And so even limiting it to yourself, which would be better to focus on others, even limiting it to yourself. It's much more rational to focus on your long term pleasure, not your short term pleasure, long
0:02:30 - 0:02:53term maximization of pleasure. But people don't do that. That's not human nature. So and there are, there are plenty of studies to show this, OK. It's a very unusual thing for someone to sacrifice the present for the future, even if all they care about is themselves, which is no surprise because if you
0:02:53 - 0:03:18actually, if you actually cared about maximizing your own pleasure, long term, you would care about other people because you would would would discover very quickly that the most meaningful situation is when you orient your life to others and their long term benefit. Again, when people make that jump
0:03:18 - 0:03:40, they're still usually in the short term mode and they want to maximize someone's situation short term. But if you really care about someone, you'll maximize your situation long term. So those are, those are tremendous tidbits of wisdom there. But the early people, they were just as subject to human
0:03:40 - 0:04:02nature as we are. And uh unfortunately, they also had access to much more light. It was much more widely known. Adam spoke openly about the things he knew, at least for enough time to get them out there. There's some evidence that suggests that he stopped. That's an interesting thing to talk about, but
0:04:02 - 0:04:26we won't go there today. He learned his lesson. But um once they were out, the genie is out of the bottle. And so mankind had advanced knowledge and understanding compared to their nature, which was evil. And so in general, people were solely mo motivated by personal gain, not benefit to others and it
0:04:26 - 0:04:48was short term gain with no strings attached, no holds barred. They would do anything to anyone to get it. And if you don't think that's approaching where we are today, I I'm not sure where you live, but, but I'd like to go there, but you're probably in an insane insane asylum. So maybe not and, and
0:04:48 - 0:05:20not some utopia or you're on some heavy drug. Um So what happened was God recognized that the earth had become unable to attain its potential uh because man had so fully turned away from the path to becoming how he is and that they had lost in this as as happens, they had lost the ability to see uh to
0:05:20 - 0:05:44detect the beneficial path to detect what is good so that they had so sufficiently that they lost the, the ability to choose it of their own, excuse me, of their own free will. And, and the reason for this is because they had turned so fully against what was so plainly revealed to them. The knowledge
0:05:43 - 0:06:10was out there so abundantly and they turned away from it so completely that they were blinded and left without anything else that God could do to help them choose what was what was better. So this is what it means when it says that the earth was corrupt before God and the earth was filled with violence
0:06:10 - 0:06:36. That word violence. It's to get personal gain without any respect to what it costs to other people. Uh At any time, it would have cost yourself long term. It's everything's for here and now maximize pleasure here. And now I'm the only one that matters. No one else matters. And that is the mentality
0:06:35 - 0:07:03of modern people. And as this deepens and expands this culture of violence and this scriptural definition, you're going to see so many things about your life change and you're already seeing them, but you probably have not noticed you're going to see more violence more often for lesser reasons. And again
0:07:02 - 0:07:26, if your eyes are open, you're already seeing this, you're seeing these news articles left and right of moms murdering their Children, fathers murdering their Children. Uh, people functioning in normal lives who suddenly seemingly suddenly do these atrocious things as far as fiddling with kids or, you
0:07:26 - 0:07:48know, teachers becoming pedophiles and all these crazy, crazy, terrible things. Uh, drug rampant drug use. Just people lost to addiction standing like zombies in every single downtown. You can see videos of this online, even if you don't live in those places. But you can go to the places too and see
0:07:48 - 0:08:14it with your own eyes and uh just living alternative realities. You know, people just they could be on another planet. It's so different from what you might consider to be life and the barriers that existed before to separate normal life from these extremes are not there anymore, they're not there anymore
0:08:13 - 0:08:31. Here's a really simple idea that is not at all what this video is about, but I'm just trying to use an example that's different to, to show you in, in general that these barriers are not there anymore. The foundations have been taken away as I've told you for years as the Lord told me many years ago
0:08:31 - 0:08:57and I didn't notice until he told me, but that was way before anyone else noticed either. Um So here's an example, tattoos did you know that until not too long ago, the only people that had tattoos and this is across cultures, not without exception, but, but the exceptions were very few. The only people
0:08:57 - 0:09:30that had tattoos were convicts and prostitutes and then it was gang members. But what made this a general thing was that sailors would sail to certain areas of the world where those outcasts in those societies had the tattoos and then it became adopted in that class of people. And then from there, it
0:09:30 - 0:09:59came back to other places that, that were more advanced in technology and uh yeah, we'll just leave it at that. Um And it became adopted in the criminal class. And then from the criminal class, it became adopted into the poorer class and then from the poorer class, it was adopted into general society
0:09:59 - 0:10:21. If you want to read about things like this. Theodore Dalrymple is a wonderful, wonderful source. He's, he, that was a pen name. I don't, excuse me, I don't remember his, his real name, but really fascinating guy. He's, he's elderly now but seemingly sharp as a tax still. Um But his books are really
0:10:20 - 0:10:46worth reading. The guy is a genius level writer and also uh a wonderful observant observer of um of humanity. And so he talks a lot about the corruption of culture and how it happens and he was essentially a someone who could see things far off. He was writing about this decades ago in England where
0:10:46 - 0:11:17he lives and he was serving as a, as a physician in uh prisons and hospitals there. So very interesting. Uh and at a metal level a wonderful study on the realities of sacrificing your life for people you hope to help. He was a brilliant man, obviously, uh, and very talented at what he did. Um, and he
0:11:17 - 0:11:43sacrificed what could have been a very lucrative career for, for low paying jobs as a physician in, um, free hospitals and prisons. And, um, he became quite disillusioned but not bitter about the challenges that he, he thought he was going to help with. And if you're interested in helping other people
0:11:43 - 0:12:12, that's a wonderful, wonderful dose of reality that um you'd have to pay a very high price to get through personal experience. Anyway, that's a side note. So highly recommend Theodore Dalrymple anything he writes, um, wrote. Um So that's how culture is corrupted and it's definitely corrupted. And this
0:12:11 - 0:12:31is interesting that that's the same word used in the King James version of Genesis 611. The earth was also corrupt before God and before God is in relation to right. Uh And what do we call that? Iniquity is the scriptural word to deviate from righteousness, righteousness is how God is. So the earth was
0:12:31 - 0:12:57corrupt before God, the earth had deviated from how God is. People in the earth had chosen to be different to God knowing how He is more than is usual because pre flood before the earth was flooded with water, it was flooded with knowledge of God. And so that's what happens when you've got a flood of
0:12:56 - 0:13:24knowledge of God and no stratification of the people. In other words, uh Alma 12 is not in play. There's no limitation on what is given in terms of knowledge about God and from God, this is what happens when you have human nature. When human nature and a flood of truth collide there is always violence
0:13:23 - 0:13:50because that's what humans use it for the, in the definition we've given personal gain at any cost to self and others followed by catastrophe every single time. And that's very important if you want to understand the last days. All right. So let's talk more about how this violence is gonna change your
0:13:50 - 0:14:12life and already is, there's going, there are going to be two things that you need to think about. One is the significant changes to your daily life that this is going to bring and the other is all the ways you're gonna grow, used to it where you should be making changes and you won't. I'm going to share
0:14:12 - 0:14:36an example of this. I was shown envision once something about Russia and war, the details are not relevant to this conversation. But one image I saw was I saw a woman, a mom with a young daughter and the daughter had had her hand bitten off by a bear. And it was, it was, it was very realistic. It was
0:14:35 - 0:14:59a, it was one of these um it was very vivid. Ok? And as what happened if your hand got chopped off. There was blood squirting everywhere and this poor girl was freaking out and her mom was just so nonchalant. She's just like, oh yeah, a bear bit. My daughter's hand off. No big deal. And I was, I was
0:14:59 - 0:15:25dumbfounded by her lack of reaction to this situation because even if you don't know what to do first aid wise in that situation, pro tip use a tourniquet. Hopefully you'd have the, the, the empathy. I think you'd need a lot less than empathy to care about any child who just had its hand chopped off
0:15:25 - 0:15:52, bitten off in this case, which is even worse. But this, this person who was its mom, her mom, she didn't even care at all. It just was not on her radar at all. She had no emotional response to it whatsoever. And that is the response of modern people so often to things that they absolutely should notice
0:15:51 - 0:16:24and make changes. Um Because of so for example, you see this attitude with parents in public schools, it's the frog in the pot and the pot slowly comes to a boil syndrome because the costs that parents pay to have their kids in public schools today are so much higher than they would ever accept. 10 or
0:16:24 - 0:16:4720 years ago, the parents really haven't changed. So it's not the same exact parents obviously, but um their attitudes are not dramatically different. So why would parents from 20 years ago? Immediately pull their kids out of school and the things that happened today happen, um, and make any sacrifice
0:16:46 - 0:17:08they needed to, to find an alternative, you know, co ops, um, find someone who is homeschooling and give them some money to homeschool their kids too. You have to check into the legality of that. Um, et cetera, et cetera. Right. But parents today just throw up their hands and say, well, what else can
0:17:07 - 0:17:34I do? There's no choice. And so they minimize the reality of the situation, the cost, they minimize it through delusion. Um because they say that they don't have any other choice. Well, you know, why, what is up with that? So what I mean, the violence continues unabated. I mentioned in another video
0:17:34 - 0:00:00I just, I caught up with my mom the other day and she was telling me the school I went to for high school. Um It, it used to be a really great school. It was renowned for cranking out better outcomes than most schools in the area. And um it's not discernibly different from any others now, which, ok,
0:00:00 - 0:18:20fine, that happens. But um they had two shootings recently there and that's the last thing that ever would have happened there. Uh It, it, it was a magnet school and, and you actually had to audition to get into it. Uh Except for the, the thing I went to it for because how do you do that for, for that
0:18:20 - 0:18:44? Field. Um, so I kind of skirted in somehow to let some riff raff in thankfully. But, um, you know, most of the people there were only there because they had parents who were very involved and cared and that changes the outcome of things. Right. A so my point to my mom was, man, if that had happened
0:18:44 - 0:19:0920 years ago or whatever, like every single parent at that school would have immediately pulled their kids out of the school and done something else found a way. And um it's just really interesting to see that no one cares anymore. And that's a principle you see across the board. Um There's rampant shoplifting
0:19:08 - 0:19:30going on. That's one example of this violence, uh scripturally defined to get gain with no respect to personal cost or cost to others. Um And so you're going to keep seeing more stores close and you, you think like, well, there, there are, you know, five stores of this type within convenient driving
0:19:29 - 0:19:56range to where I live right now. And so if one close, it's no big deal. Yes. But folks, why is the one closing? Whatever the reason is, why wouldn't that cause the others to close as well? Do you have a reason to prevent that outcome? I don't think you do. And that's just the one set of reasons as things
0:19:56 - 0:20:22get worse. There will be more reasons. And so what you have is, it's like Shark Tank where I've seen clips of this where investors will say I'm out as the story gets more and more complicated or the there are more details, emerging shows it's not a good deal to invest in. They say I'm out. Well, there's
0:20:21 - 0:20:40just gonna be more bad reasons you lead with your best reasons, right? So if one person's out that doesn't decrease the probability of other investors pulling out, it increases the probability of them pulling out with every additional thing dropped into that side of the scales. Right. There's nothing
0:20:40 - 0:21:00else for the other side, it's not going to get better. The cost is going to increase but the benefits will not guaranteed. Right. It's already as good as it's gonna get. So you're gonna see grocery stores close. What, what are you gonna do? So let's say that you're in a place, you know, some city somewhere
0:20:59 - 0:21:18and the last grocery store closes. What are you gonna do? Well, you're gonna get in your car and you're gonna drive. Well, if you don't have a car because you got sucked into this whole, I'm in a city. I can save money because I don't need cars idea. Well, you're gonna get on a bus and drive in a bus
0:21:18 - 0:21:46for three hours to get to the grocery store and then when you come home, you're gonna get mugged on said bus and no one's gonna stop the mugging because everyone who tries to stop goes to jail. So, what about when you live in a suburb and with the BLM riots, police stopped answering calls for petty things
0:21:45 - 0:22:11, so called petty, unless someone dies, they're not coming. And so, and they'll tell you when you call 911, they'll say no one's coming. This, this is, this already happens in many, many places, not inner city places, suburbs, good suburbs. And so the cost of you owning and storing a vehicle skyrockets
0:22:10 - 0:22:30because people are always breaking into cars in the suburbs, right? So you have to get your window replaced because someone smashed it and looked through your car for money or they, they straight up, stole your car and you don't have a garage to lock it up in or you have a garage and it's got the garage
0:22:29 - 0:22:52windows that most garages have. And you know, people figured out that it's not too hard to bust that in and reach up to the emergency handle and open the garage because the, the modern day world was designed around ideals that people don't have anymore cultural limits that people do not have anymore
0:22:51 - 0:23:16. The foundations have been removed and, and this is going to have an impact on your daily life in many ways. And it's, it should have an impact on your daily life in many other ways that you will ignore. For example, uh if you go to a concert anymore, I'm not sure what your cost benefit calculations
0:23:15 - 0:23:45are not just because the cost in money is ridiculous these days. But how many of these places need to have tragedies occur before you realize that, um, they're not worth going to. And as this violence extends and deepens, um, extends in breadth and deepens in intensity, I think I saw there was a shooting
0:23:44 - 0:24:07on a cruise ship recently. It's like if you're gonna go through that much forethought to book a cruise just to shoot it up and people do this, they make plans to do this now that uh there was a shooting in Tennessee. I think it was not too, too long ago and the girl, the lady, uh who thought she was
0:24:07 - 0:24:30a man was killed in the process and then the media tried to or the police tried to hold back for her manifesto that she wrote and it got leaked out and she planned this thing for a long, long time. She patiently waited. So it used to be, if you were crazy, you would do crazy things. And now crazy, people
0:24:30 - 0:24:54are crazy enough that they actually can think about and plan what they're doing. I guess so. Um And and it's because the threshold of what it takes to go over the edge is so much lower because there's such a baseline of crazy going on. Um I don't know if that made any sense, but there's a lower threshold
0:24:54 - 0:25:18now and so people can put more critical thinking into the planning whereas before you were so far gone from critical thinking, if you were willing to do this sort of thing and this matters. So we've talked about just sort of evil violence and we've talked about crazy violence, but there's also, um, evil
0:25:17 - 0:25:36and crazy violence that are slightly less evil and slightly less crazy where people are truly convinced that they're doing something for a cause. And typically we call that terrorism, but that's an overused word, I think. Um, it's one of these words that's super serious, which is good, but it's used
0:25:36 - 0:25:58so often that it loses its edge. So, um, and it's applied to things that certainly aren't as drastic as the word would imply, which has to water down the meaning of the word you can't get around that. It's like if you call moron a genius, then a genius has to stop meaning what it did. Or you give Barack
0:25:57 - 0:26:32Obama the Peace Prize as he's bombing all these innocent people at weddings. It, it has to mean less than what it did before. You can't get away with that. So, um, anyway, on the subject of, of ideological violence, we'll say you have no idea how fragile the system is. It is insanely fragile. I heard
0:26:32 - 0:26:59the other day someone say, uh it's what they say, something like I can't believe with all the bad people in the world, bad things don't happen more often if you had eyes to see the kinds of mercy that God pours out and what it costs and how just how many angels are involved in this enterprise of holding
0:26:58 - 0:27:29back due consequences. It would astound you. There's no words to describe this. Anything I do to try to do anything I say to describe this is just going to be insultingly flat compared to the reality. So that's not going to continue forever. There's a number, I don't know what it is, but there's a number
0:27:28 - 0:27:58, if you were to ask how many people would it take? How many intelligent motivated people would it take to cause show stopping horrific havoc in this country or any, any wealthy nation? It's a very low number. It's a very low number. Um What's the scale and scope of violence that I'm talking about or
0:27:58 - 0:28:27, or disruption that I'm talking about? I mean, the end as we know it, what would it take to bring down everything? Very few people? I don't know what the number is. It could be as low as 1000. I can't imagine it being more than 10,000, 10,000 people of IQ 100 plus to are determined and operating independently
0:28:26 - 0:28:48that it would, it would bring an end. The, the system cannot, does not have sufficient surplus. You see, surplus is the band aid that covers all ills in the modern world. Surplus. And what do I mean by that is you get out more than you put in everywhere. You look, people are getting out more than what
0:28:48 - 0:29:11they put in. That's also called injustice. By the way, we always think of injustice. The other way around injustice is just misc calibration from justice. It applies to both sides of, of the pendulum swing. So when you get more than what you deserve, that is also injustice, you might call that mercy
0:29:11 - 0:29:37. But when it happens due to someone exerting violence on a third party so that you get more of their stuff, then that's not mercy. That's violence. So when you go get your welfare check, that consists of the money that was stolen from someone else because they didn't consent to it, but they were threatened
0:29:36 - 0:30:07at the point of a gun. That's not mercy, that's violence and it doesn't please God. It's contrary to his his ways. So what's keeping this 1 to 10,000 number of people from doing that? Because there are more than 350 million people in this country? There have to be at least 1000 people who to um have
0:30:06 - 0:30:33a chip on their shoulder sufficiently large to risk it all to bring it down. So what's holding it back? God's mercy? That's the only thing. That's the only thing that can explain it. So as it wears away, reaches its limit for the same reason it did in Noah's time. Really bad things are going to happen
0:30:32 - 0:30:56and you're going to see this increasingly um There are, there are places in inner cities that have effectively shut down. I saw a video of Harbor Place in Baltimore, which is a place I've been to many times growing up and it's basically a ghost town. The violence was bad there before they had police
0:30:56 - 0:31:13station there all the time. You could see you could stand at one where one cop was and you could see the next cops in either direction standing there to make sure that the violence was kept under control. And I guess eventually that wasn't enough where they pulled it back. Who knows? Um, but now all
0:31:13 - 0:31:35the businesses have left the Harbor Place Mall is empty and there's nothing there. San Francisco, all these cities are becoming hollowed out. Um, Detroit's been trashed for a long time. Chicago is getting this way now. Um, it's amazing. I, I went to Chicago in business just a couple of years ago. It
0:31:35 - 0:31:57was pre COVID just before COVID and I went again, I guess it was two months ago or so. And the difference was astonishing to me the first time I went, I was amazed because even then you hear all the, you heard all these bad things about Chicago but going there, at least the part I was, I was in and I
0:31:57 - 0:32:18, I did walk around to kind of see things mostly to find low cost food. And, um, it was, it was, uh, as far as cities go, it was nice enough. Indianapolis too. I went there for a conference years ago. And all these places are just decaying in real time, even Indianapolis, which, when I went there, it
0:32:18 - 0:32:39was such a nice city. I was like, you know, I wouldn't mind living here if I had to live in a city. This is probably the one I would pick and that was all boarded up and burned out in, uh, during the riots as well. And so there's this undertow that becomes apparent just when the situations are right
0:32:39 - 0:33:00to show things as they really are or closer to as they really are. And you don't know how evil people, normal people are until the situations arise where you see it. But the people have not changed. They were, they were like that. That's, you know, one of the reasons folks are so shocked when they see
0:33:00 - 0:33:24these evidences of evil and normal people is that there, um, they're judging them by how they act in normal situations. You can't see how someone really is until you put them in what we regard as extreme situations. Almost all of what's perceived as righteousness or to put in secular terms, normal human
0:33:24 - 0:33:52behavior. Almost all of that is a result of an environment that makes it. So it's, it's all sanitized and bandage, bandaged up and it's overflowing with surplus and that's what makes it look like. People are good. You take that away and you put them in what is actually a more normal situation where there's
0:33:52 - 0:34:15not enough food, there certainly isn't surplus and you only eat what you work for, you get what you deserve and that's it. And then you'll see more of humanity come out and it is not that the people have changed. It's just the environment has shown them how they, how they always have been. You see this
0:34:15 - 0:34:37all the time, a person is only as good as they are at their worst. That is a principle you need to learn now, people don't like this because it judges them. And you'll say, well, if that's true, then I know I'm a, I'm a rotten person because I know how I am at my worst and it's bad, but it's much easier
0:34:37 - 0:35:02to think of. Well, I was just having a bad day. That's not who I really am or I was just having a bad moment. It's not who I really am. No, it is who you really are. All the other stuff is how you really aren't. That's the icing on a very rotten cake. So, um, you'll see these changes in normal life due
0:35:01 - 0:35:30to, to the expectation of violence. You'll also see more and more of what seems like senseless and, and chaotic. Just random violence, right? You'll see people this happened the other day, a guy got stabbed to death. I think it was in Detroit. Him and his newlywed wife were walking around in the middle
0:35:30 - 0:35:50of the night after their wedding and this guy was just going ballistic, kicking tires and trying to break into cars and all they were doing was walking by and, and the guy just started yelling threats to the, the, the other one and ended up stabbing him to death. The guy that was, that was trying to
0:35:50 - 0:36:12steal cars, stabbed the random guy to death. And the wife just stood there and watched it happen in disbelief and you're going to see things like this happen more and more often. And there are more examples, just check the news, you'll see them. And this is, this is, you know, there's going to be more
0:36:11 - 0:36:31directed violence. We'll say that's for a purpose. I'm not saying it's a good purpose or justifiable purpose by any means. But people will have reasons, will be good reasons, but there'll be reasons you're gonna see more and more for no reason where people just haul off and, and hurt people and what
0:36:31 - 0:36:48this does is it makes it less predictable. So for a long time, we all satisfied ourselves with saying, well, violence happens but you know where it's gonna happen and when it's gonna happen more or less. So even when I lived in Baltimore City, downtown, uh which I've lived downtown a couple of times
0:36:47 - 0:37:16in Baltimore in my life. But as an adult on my own, there were parts of town that you never went to after dark ever. You know, and if you ever made a wrong turn at those times of night, you discovered why that policy existed very quickly, right? Um, but when, when it becomes less predictable, there aren't
0:37:16 - 0:37:44places you can avoid that will satisfy that, that problem it comes to you and you can't predict the offenses because they will include things that have no predictable benefit for the perpetrator. You know, if, if, if you're a very attractive younger woman and you're jogging in a place that, um, has known
0:37:43 - 0:38:03high level of violence or lots of homeless people crawling around or whatever, then, uh, people today would say, well, why are you doing that? You're asking for trouble and then they would get attacked by many, many people saying you're blaming the victim. But anyway, that's something that happens. But
0:38:02 - 0:38:21what if none of those things are true and it happens? What if it happens just as often when none of those things are true? Well, you could choose not to jog in certain areas. You could choose to jog with a buddy. You could choose to jog during the day and not at night and on and on. You could choose
0:38:20 - 0:38:44to carry a gun. But that's when you can predict the situation when it's so random that you can't predict anything. You might be walking your dog in a super safe neighborhood at two pm in the afternoon and someone could drive by and shoot you. And what do you do to prevent that? There's nothing you can
0:38:44 - 0:39:15do to mitigate that except not have a dog, right. Or live in a place where you don't have to walk it. What you're going to see is the sensitivity of our system to human decency. It's extraordinarily sensitive to human decency. The problem is humans aren't decent. The illusion is that they are and it's
0:39:15 - 0:39:42afforded by surplus. When you take surplus out of the equation, you see how humans really are and this is why poor nations are violent. If you go to um Guatemala, there's a very high likelihood that you'll be kidnapped, there's a high likelihood that you'll be murdered. If you're a woman, there's a high
0:39:42 - 0:40:07likelihood you'll be raped. Why? Because people are very poor in Guatemala and when you take out the surplus, you see what human nature really is. Guatemalans aren't bad people, they're just people. And if you took a random set of affluent Americans and transplanted them into Guatemala and they were
0:40:07 - 0:40:40raised there, instead, they turn out the same way statistically or many parts of Africa, for example. So, back onto this topic of the sensitivity of the system to human decency. A while back, there's this trend where generation Z people would open up ice cream at stores and lick it and put it back. Do
0:40:39 - 0:40:59you remember that? And immediately it's like the entire nation marshaled against these people. It's like you can shoplift all you want, but don't you dare lick the ice cream. Why? Because shoplifting is limited. Even though it's, it's costing tens of billions of dollars damage and stores are closing
0:40:59 - 0:41:22left and right. One person shoplifting or even hordes of people. Shoplifting doesn't, doesn't directly and immediately crash the system. But licking ice cream can, there was a, I was too young to remember this but you can see clips on youtube. You could research this. There's a crisis, a national crisis
0:41:22 - 0:41:42when it's, it's happened at least twice. I think when people, there was something about painkillers like Tylenol or something and people were opening the bottles and putting random things in them or something. And, you know, it was like three people maybe nationally doing this and it wasn't even a national
0:41:42 - 0:42:02thing. It was probably local and yet it caused this huge immediate response and they, the industry ended up putting all the tamper evident seals on everything which weren't there before because who, who would do that, right? Who would open up something and put something else in it, something dangerous
0:42:02 - 0:42:33? Um And the reason is, is because if you, if you can't predict how and why things are gonna go wrong, you have to withdraw from the system entirely. That's the only thing you can do or just deal with it, right? And um, this is not a new idea, but this is an example of holding back of God's mercy preventing
0:42:32 - 0:42:58the crash of a very, very fragile system. So I would like to give you some examples of just how easy it would be. But I don't wanna be charged with some crime that I don't know about, like inciting to violence or something. But you can use your imagination and just with a few dollars you could do some
0:42:57 - 0:43:19random act of violence that causes massive amounts of damage and by violence, I don't mean you have to, uh, directly hurt someone physically but, you know, you could damage property, you could do all sorts of crazy things in such easy ways and you'd probably get away with it because our crime surveillance
0:43:19 - 0:43:38systems are also largely based on the ability to predict what people are going to do. And I don't mean like, uh, what's that movie? Minority Report? Like Future Crime? I don't mean predicting crimes people are gonna, like specific people are gonna commit. I mean, the types of things that people do senseless
0:43:37 - 0:44:07violence or, um, what would you call targeted violence? That's for a cause. I, I guess just defaulting to the word terrorism. There are no defenses for that. So, one of the reasons we got our butts kicked in Afghanistan was that our fancy, fancy, modern, uh, military equipment is ridiculously susceptible
0:44:06 - 0:00:00to inexpensive countermeasures. Maybe this is a safer way to discuss this topic. Um, because you're, you know, it doesn't apply to us but you can use your imagination and at least at a general level, see how easy it would be. To do things like this in our world, here in the United States. Our world,
0:00:00 - 0:44:52boy, that's, I just branded myself with everything bad about Americans. Sorry. Um, the world we know is very limited compared to the real world. Um, anyway, but, but, you know, with $15 you could make an, an improvised IED that blew up a humvee. So then the military, industrial complex expended exorbitant
0:44:51 - 0:45:11amounts of money to replace the fleet of vehicles we had over there with these M wraps, which basically the whole point was to make them harder to blow up. Oh, first, the, the Humvees, first they up armored the Humvees. That's what they called it. We had to retrofit all of the Humvees by welding heavy
0:45:11 - 0:45:36steel onto the sides and putting some shielding on the gun turret above because it was so easy to shoot through these things they were not designed for. Um, I don't know, for, for active combat situations. They were just for transportation and then, um, and then they started blowing them up with IE DS
0:45:36 - 0:45:59. And so then they switched to M wraps and they had a V shaped bottom so that the explosion would hopefully not kill everybody inside. Um And then, and then they started overcoming those too. Um And just recently in Israel, a bunch of tanks got blown up by relatively inexpensive drones because the tops
0:45:59 - 0:46:24aren't armored as much as the rest of the tank. And so this is just a, a function of complexity, the more complex the system, the easier it is to bring it down. Um So you can use your imagination if $15 can take out a, you know, a million dollar vehicle. No problem. Then just imagine what $15 can do
0:46:23 - 0:46:49in damage here if deployed in certain ways that are extremely accessible and take no technology at all. I, I, well, here's one example because, well, no, I better not. The point is if you have an IQ above 100 you could brainstorm these ideas all day long. And there are enough people that are disillusioned
0:46:48 - 0:47:07enough that it is a massive miracle that you're seeing in real time that these things are not happening left and right and that is going to change. That's what I'm telling you, it's going to change. I mentioned hard to believe violence like you, you, I guess there have always been parents who abused
0:47:06 - 0:47:31their, their Children. But you know, this is seen as a rare thing, um, because it's so egregious, it's a horrible, horrible thing and yet it's happening more and more and you see, um, teachers doing this and you see Children harming parents and you know, you see escalation of violence that doesn't make
0:47:31 - 0:47:45any sense. Like people get in an argument. That's what happened. I mentioned school shooting, what happened was two kids were fighting with each other. It happens all the time. They went home, talk to their parents and their parents, I don't know the details of how all this happened, but the parents
0:47:44 - 0:48:05showed up to argue with each other at school and brought guns because that's a normal thing, right? So it's crazy. And this, this happened actually around here with, I made another video about this preacher that was carrying a cross through the country and he happened to come through Montana and he found
0:48:04 - 0:48:26one of these, uh, you know, Montana is thought of as a thought of as a right leaning state. But it's not, it's actually, it's bifurcated. It's half and half and there's some real extreme people, mostly on the left side. This tends to be the case. Um, and he happened across one of these oddities that
0:48:25 - 0:48:51there are a lot of in Montana which are left radicals who also are huge fans of guns. So we have a lot of those hunting's pretty big here and, um, any leftist candidate has to be very pro gun. Um, or else they won't get elected. So anyway, but there was some, some business owner and, and there was some
0:48:51 - 0:00:00ballistic, no pun intended, but there's things got belligerent really quickly, um, with guns and, and it's crazy and I think it all started because the cross minister guy parked his car in a place that the other guy didn't like that was it. That's how it all started. And pretty soon guns were drawn,
0:00:00 - 0:49:35a gun was drawn and fists were thrown. It's a crazy situation anyway. We need to, I need to warn you about targeted violence. This is something people are not prepared for. Um, it, it, it has long been the case that celebrities get stalked and harassed and sometimes violently. So, you know, we know about
0:49:35 - 0:50:02John Lennon was assassinated because he was famous. Um, no one would have cared if he wasn't famous. So rich people get targeted for robberies and things. But, but what you're gonna see is that kind of targeting come to normal people. And I'll tell you how uh it will include, well, we are already mentioned
0:50:01 - 0:50:24economic targeting like rich people. Well, if you've been paying attention, the definition of rich people is coming down, down, down, down, down, it's funny inflation is going up, but the definition of rich is coming down, that's really problematic for a lot of reasons. But I read, I think I read that
0:50:24 - 0:50:50the average American household household. So that's dual income. I think he is making 100,000 or more now. And that blew my mind. That blew my mind. And I'm 39 years old and I grew up in poverty. But I remember my mom making $12,000 a year at some point we're poor, but that's just crazy to me. Um and
0:50:50 - 0:51:14100,000 really doesn't buy much anymore. And I know that there are people who are watching this and make a lot less than that as a household. And, um, I, I really feel for your situation. Trust me. I know what it's like. And, uh, if there were something I could do about it I would but than it's, it's
0:51:14 - 0:51:38, I, I don't know how a whole lot of people are living right now and knowing quite a bit about what's coming. I, I, I'd rather not talk about it because it's gonna get me to a place where I can't talk. So anyway, um, that why I was bringing all that up is what if, what if, what's really like the average
0:51:38 - 0:52:01income is targeted as rich, not just by the IRS goons, but, um, what if you're just a normal person and all of a sudden the, the mob targets you for being rich or just some random person from the mob. I mean, the mob mentality, if not the physical group. So you're walking down the street and someone
0:52:01 - 0:52:19says, oh, there's a rich guy or there's a rich lady, boom. And they, they kill you because you're the problem right in their mind or they, they hurt you in some way. Um What about specific racial groups getting targeted? This is, this is a terrible thing and it's already happening there, there was media
0:52:18 - 0:52:45suppression of it because of the people involved. But Asians were being targeted and there was a game invented by certain people and practiced by certain people to go randomly punch old people as well. And so the targeting is already happening. It's just, it's going to become more widespread and also
0:52:45 - 0:53:03ideological people. And you've seen this with church shootings, right? And, and actually the shooting I mentioned before it was at a Christian school. But you're gonna see and, and Christians by no means are gonna be the only targets. I'm just saying these, these are examples. Um, but you're going to
0:53:03 - 0:53:24see people saying, oh, there's a member of certain ideology, they're now my target of violence. And so it takes it from this amorphous boogeyman of an ideology down to, oh, a specific person that's part of this group. They're my enemy and this is the hill I'm going to die on and you're going to see this
0:53:23 - 0:53:50more and more and more and more. Finally, I want to talk about, uh, an aspect of this violence that you're probably blind to, that's happening right under your nose. And that is overt racism in government programs. Um, this is one of the many things where it's the, it's the drop of water in the stadium
0:53:49 - 0:54:08and it doubles every second and most people don't see it until it's right on them. Uh, and by then the changes are coming so radically, but they're not, all of the sudden, radical change is not all of a sudden change. They're two different things. It's about the slope of the line. All of a sudden is
0:54:08 - 0:54:31an impulse. There's no time duration. It happens literally all at once. But something that's exponential and the master of finger graphs, that's an exponential, make a little sharper work. Um Something is exponential. It's growing the whole time on a predictable path. There is an equation that exactly
0:54:30 - 0:54:55predicts where each of these points is going to be over time. But if you're a normal person, this is all invisible to you. You start seeing it like right here. But by then it's going straight up practically. So the rate of change is so extreme by then that there's really not much you can do to, there's
0:54:55 - 0:55:15nothing you can do to prevent it. And the cost of responding to it is also going to be astronomically high. And a great example of this is property costs which I told you about, I told you about this for years and years and very, very, very, very few people listened. Food costs is another one, basically
0:55:14 - 0:55:35anything with money, it's going to follow this pattern and you're seeing it in real time food costs. Uh I think I told you a story. I had a neighbor who passed away, sadly, I really liked the guy. Um But he came up to my property once and I was showing him excitedly these experiments I was running with
0:55:35 - 0:55:56, you know, this is years of work. I was doing experiments with different kinds of wheat. Um And then I got into rye, which is a miracle crop. Um And I, I think I was, at the point in the experiment where I had planted for the first time, a large stand of rye and he came up and I was like, you see, my
0:55:56 - 0:56:14rye isn't this cool? And he's like, don't you have better things to spend your time and money on? That's what he said. And I said, what do you mean? And he said, do you know how inexpensive that is? Why don't you just go buy some? He said, I used to, to, as a kid, I used to work in rye fields for some
0:56:13 - 0:56:36extra money. It's so much work. Why would you do that? Just go buy some. It's so cheap. And I said it is now, but it won't be later and it'll be too late to figure out how to do it. And the point was lost on him but doesn't matter to him anymore. Huh? But it, it, it does matter to me and it will matter
0:56:35 - 0:57:01to you. But um, if, if you last long enough, but anyway, the, the, the, the point with that is food costs, it's, it's astronomically expensive to grow food on your own. And this is so if you go into that direction at all, you're going to see just how much wealth you have in terms of being able to go
0:57:01 - 0:57:21to the grocery store and fill up your cart and eat the sumptuous spread of food every single day, no matter how bland you think it is the level of convenience of spending a fraction of your day, handling all of your necessities of life and everything on top of. That's just gravy. You have no idea what
0:57:21 - 0:00:00kind of wealth you swim in every day. So, but the writings on the wall that the cost of getting that food is going to continue to rise and it will be more and more out of reach of normal people. And the question is like, how much money are you willing to pay for a block of cheese in today's dollars?
0:00:00 - 0:00:00You probably wouldn't buy it if it were $1000 a pound. And if it were $1000 a pound in today's dollars, it'd be much better to make your own cheese as much work as that would be, it would be worth not just for that reason, but if you take this across all foods, I mean, unless you really like cheese,
0:00:00 - 0:58:27but you take it across all foods. And now all of a sudden it's like, well, maybe I could move to a place where I could do this and maybe I could form some sort of co op with like minded people because having a cow, dairy cow by yourself is probably not a good idea unless you have 20 kids. But, um, with
0:58:27 - 0:58:45a group of people all of a sudden now it makes financial sense. You see, it's like that the writings on the wall. But you don't see it, but as the drops double, you're gonna see it, but by the time you see it it's gonna be too late now, I'm telling you about it. So now you can see it. It's not like take
0:58:45 - 0:00:00my word for it. You can see it now because I'm pointing to it and I'm seeing. So you see that little drop of water, a hinge of the binoculars. You see that drop of water? Yeah. Did you see it before? No. What's the big deal? It's just a drop of water. Watch it and wait, I'm gonna click my stopwatch.
0:00:00 - 0:59:17I'm gonna count off 10 seconds. Ok? You see how much bigger it is? Yeah. Ok. Now, let's take out a piece of paper and this would be insane. This would be like in the movies where the guy is smoking a cigarette and he's got all the strings and the stuff pinned on the wall and he's explaining this conspiracy
0:59:16 - 0:59:36theory that meme, um, that would be this level of things and then I draw out a plot and I'm like, well, let's make this graph and we're gonna plot this. Ok. Now let's extrapolate this. And can't you see where this is gonna be in 10 minutes? And then he's like, whoa, I didn't see that before. Actually
0:59:35 - 0:59:57, if he's a normal person, the conversation would have ended a lot sooner with him just telling me get lost. But you see the point, right? So that's how it is with overt racism in government programs. You can go see it if you go look up um any, any government funding agency of which there are many, there's
0:59:57 - 1:00:22DARPA, there's uh the biggest one is uh the health one, Nihnih is the biggest one. There's NSF, there's USDA, there's all these government entities have funding programs where they give out grants and all of them have a specific funding program called Sbir Small Business Innovation Research. And it's
1:00:22 - 1:00:46congressionally mandated, there's a huge chunk of money set aside to seed fund new businesses and they're really hard to get. Um they can be helpful, but that's all besides the point. Um This is one place you can look at any direction, but this is a specific place. If you go look at their um requests
1:00:45 - 1:01:11for proposals. RFP, it's the announcement where they ask you to send them proposals and this happens every year, go out and read the, the metrics for how they decide what to fund. You will see front and center de ID E ID E I and you should know what that means. You can go look it up if you don't like
1:01:11 - 1:01:37a waste of time here to explain it to you. But when the scientific funding in this country, when the most important thing to the governing bodies that decide who to give the money to is the race of the people applying or the gender, that is a huge problem. Right, because obviously that is going to impact
1:01:36 - 1:02:01the positive benefits of what they're trying to do, which they're trying to fund innovation, but they're making something else, the variable that they're maximizing and that will obviously lead to results that are less than what they would have if they just prioritized what they say is the reason for
1:02:01 - 1:02:17what they're doing. OK. So that's factor number one. But the more important thing is what I'm trying to tell you. And this is just one example, if you see government job postings, you can look through those and you'll see that too. The most important thing is not how well you do the job, it's the color
1:02:17 - 1:02:47of your skin or what's between your legs. So, um or whether you acknowledge what's between your legs increasingly, so that's a problem. Not just because of the substandard performance, you're guaranteed to get by maximizing metrics that aren't exactly what the thing you want to do. The bigger problem
1:02:46 - 1:03:08is it shows that they're already operating by these principles. They as the government in this case and they're gaining momentum in that. So, more and more and more and more people work for governments, federal state, local. It's the only segment of the economy that's growing basically and has been growing
1:03:08 - 1:03:36more than most other areas of the economy for a very long time. And that's a problem. So now you've got this huge subset of the population who lives in this ecosystem where they're prioritizing, uh, all of these, we'll say different ideas because it goes much further than this. But specifically the idea
1:03:35 - 1:04:02of replacing merit with something else, uh, in particular, your race or your gender. And how long do you think it's gonna be before people acclimatized to that, apply it in other facets of their lives? Because even if they didn't think that that was the best idea in the world, they were kind of neutral
1:04:01 - 1:04:21about it or even if they disagreed with it, you can't go along with something very long before you have to adjust to it. It's, it's just a factor of humanity. It takes all this extra energy to resist things. But also there's a spiritual component of this. When you do what you know, is willing, you willingly
1:04:20 - 1:04:43do less than what you know, is best. Your idea of what is best has to reduce it has to be corrupted, which brings us full circle to Genesis 611. The earth also was crept before God and the earth was filled with violence. These two things cour if the earth is corrupt with respect to God, the earth will
1:04:43 - 1:05:03be filled with violence. That is human nature, filling the void that God leaves behind. When we turn away from him, he doesn't leave it behind. We vacate him and it magically fills with violence. So that's, you know, these people spread their ideology into society like a, like a virus or like cancer
1:05:03 - 1:05:25. And, um, but, but beyond that, it's the government who's fostering all this and therefore, and, and they were infected too, by the way, but whatever, think about it in those terms, how long until this crosses the barrier where it's not just scientists and academics who have to deal with it, how long
1:05:25 - 1:05:43before you have to deal with this, say in your taxes or something else that touches you as a normal person that doesn't apply for grants from the government or doesn't work for the government in some way, like contractors work for the government, indirectly, government contractors. They have to deal
1:05:43 - 1:06:04with this all the time too. You know, if you have friends who are white males who work for the government, odds are, they're a little nervous odds are they've seen people let go or not promoted because they weren't the right color or they didn't have the, the right equipment down below. And so that is
1:06:04 - 1:06:25also violence in this scriptural sense. Um So you're going to see it if you haven't already. And, and it's another example of the foundations being gone because nothing has to change for them to push this out. Nothing. It's already well in place, they already have the templates for the language. They've
1:06:25 - 1:06:48got it deployed in all kinds of situations. There have not been legal challenges that have won. They, they, they just have to push a button and it's out there. So just wait I'd like to leave off with something constructive about this, but I don't think there is any, I mean, it's the same old device that
1:06:47 - 1:07:08, that I've given on many of these videos where you have to make moves to become more independent because this is just going to get worse. You have to move to places that aren't as violent and, uh, you have to change your job situation so you're less subject to people who are like this. And that's, that's
1:07:07 - 1:07:30kind of all you can do. Um, there are a lot of people out there that advocate for carrying guns, you know, doing what you need to do to get, uh, legal permission for that sort of thing and learning the rules. Um, II, I would guess that it might be better to, to first look at if you're living in a place
1:07:29 - 1:07:50that requires that sort of thing. Is there something you could change to move to a place that doesn't, at least for now. Um, but that's still kind of chasing the cleanest dirty shirt and it's, it's going to come to every place that's Genesis 611 doesn't say the earth was corrupt before God, except for
0:00:00 - 0:00:20So in other videos, I've talked about riots and a little bit about civil violence. I wanna talk more generally about violence and then give more specific examples as well. If that makes sense in Genesis 611, we read the earth was the earth also was corrupt before God and the earth was filled with violence
0:00:19 - 0:00:44. And, and this was one of the conditions that triggered the flood in Noah's Day. Now, um this word violence in Hebrew, it's uh well, I shouldn't say in Hebrew if you trace it through the Old Testament, you're gonna see some really interesting things that maybe aren't so obvious just from the word violence
0:00:44 - 0:01:10. Um So what, what actually happened during that time is that the earth, everyone on the earth except for Noah, they had turned aside from the knowledge of God's character that they, that they had and the knowledge of his plan. And of course, that, that came through Adam in the beginning and was, was
0:01:10 - 0:01:38carried down through his descendants. And so it was widely known, these things were widely known and the blessings that these people enjoyed exceeded what we think of when we think of ancient people, in terms of prosperity and technology, they, they had a lot more than we imagine them having. And what
0:01:37 - 0:02:07happened was, and this is human nature. What happened was they used all those benefits that they had simply to fulfill. They're falling human nature. So they were, they were motivated solely by personal gain without respect to the cost to others or the merit of that personal gain or the longevity of
0:02:07 - 0:02:31that personal gain. In other words, human nature is to maximize short term pleasure for oneself. And so even limiting it to yourself, which would be better to focus on others, even limiting it to yourself. It's much more rational to focus on your long term pleasure, not your short term pleasure, long
0:02:30 - 0:02:53term maximization of pleasure. But people don't do that. That's not human nature. So and there are, there are plenty of studies to show this, OK. It's a very unusual thing for someone to sacrifice the present for the future, even if all they care about is themselves, which is no surprise because if you
0:02:53 - 0:03:18actually, if you actually cared about maximizing your own pleasure, long term, you would care about other people because you would would would discover very quickly that the most meaningful situation is when you orient your life to others and their long term benefit. Again, when people make that jump
0:03:18 - 0:03:40, they're still usually in the short term mode and they want to maximize someone's situation short term. But if you really care about someone, you'll maximize your situation long term. So those are, those are tremendous tidbits of wisdom there. But the early people, they were just as subject to human
0:03:40 - 0:04:02nature as we are. And uh unfortunately, they also had access to much more light. It was much more widely known. Adam spoke openly about the things he knew, at least for enough time to get them out there. There's some evidence that suggests that he stopped. That's an interesting thing to talk about, but
0:04:02 - 0:04:26we won't go there today. He learned his lesson. But um once they were out, the genie is out of the bottle. And so mankind had advanced knowledge and understanding compared to their nature, which was evil. And so in general, people were solely mo motivated by personal gain, not benefit to others and it
0:04:26 - 0:04:48was short term gain with no strings attached, no holds barred. They would do anything to anyone to get it. And if you don't think that's approaching where we are today, I I'm not sure where you live, but, but I'd like to go there, but you're probably in an insane insane asylum. So maybe not and, and
0:04:48 - 0:05:20not some utopia or you're on some heavy drug. Um So what happened was God recognized that the earth had become unable to attain its potential uh because man had so fully turned away from the path to becoming how he is and that they had lost in this as as happens, they had lost the ability to see uh to
0:05:20 - 0:05:44detect the beneficial path to detect what is good so that they had so sufficiently that they lost the, the ability to choose it of their own, excuse me, of their own free will. And, and the reason for this is because they had turned so fully against what was so plainly revealed to them. The knowledge
0:05:43 - 0:06:10was out there so abundantly and they turned away from it so completely that they were blinded and left without anything else that God could do to help them choose what was what was better. So this is what it means when it says that the earth was corrupt before God and the earth was filled with violence
0:06:10 - 0:06:36. That word violence. It's to get personal gain without any respect to what it costs to other people. Uh At any time, it would have cost yourself long term. It's everything's for here and now maximize pleasure here. And now I'm the only one that matters. No one else matters. And that is the mentality
0:06:35 - 0:07:03of modern people. And as this deepens and expands this culture of violence and this scriptural definition, you're going to see so many things about your life change and you're already seeing them, but you probably have not noticed you're going to see more violence more often for lesser reasons. And again
0:07:02 - 0:07:26, if your eyes are open, you're already seeing this, you're seeing these news articles left and right of moms murdering their Children, fathers murdering their Children. Uh, people functioning in normal lives who suddenly seemingly suddenly do these atrocious things as far as fiddling with kids or, you
0:07:26 - 0:07:48know, teachers becoming pedophiles and all these crazy, crazy, terrible things. Uh, drug rampant drug use. Just people lost to addiction standing like zombies in every single downtown. You can see videos of this online, even if you don't live in those places. But you can go to the places too and see
0:07:48 - 0:08:14it with your own eyes and uh just living alternative realities. You know, people just they could be on another planet. It's so different from what you might consider to be life and the barriers that existed before to separate normal life from these extremes are not there anymore, they're not there anymore
0:08:13 - 0:08:31. Here's a really simple idea that is not at all what this video is about, but I'm just trying to use an example that's different to, to show you in, in general that these barriers are not there anymore. The foundations have been taken away as I've told you for years as the Lord told me many years ago
0:08:31 - 0:08:57and I didn't notice until he told me, but that was way before anyone else noticed either. Um So here's an example, tattoos did you know that until not too long ago, the only people that had tattoos and this is across cultures, not without exception, but, but the exceptions were very few. The only people
0:08:57 - 0:09:30that had tattoos were convicts and prostitutes and then it was gang members. But what made this a general thing was that sailors would sail to certain areas of the world where those outcasts in those societies had the tattoos and then it became adopted in that class of people. And then from there, it
0:09:30 - 0:09:59came back to other places that, that were more advanced in technology and uh yeah, we'll just leave it at that. Um And it became adopted in the criminal class. And then from the criminal class, it became adopted into the poorer class and then from the poorer class, it was adopted into general society
0:09:59 - 0:10:21. If you want to read about things like this. Theodore Dalrymple is a wonderful, wonderful source. He's, he, that was a pen name. I don't, excuse me, I don't remember his, his real name, but really fascinating guy. He's, he's elderly now but seemingly sharp as a tax still. Um But his books are really
0:10:20 - 0:10:46worth reading. The guy is a genius level writer and also uh a wonderful observant observer of um of humanity. And so he talks a lot about the corruption of culture and how it happens and he was essentially a someone who could see things far off. He was writing about this decades ago in England where
0:10:46 - 0:11:17he lives and he was serving as a, as a physician in uh prisons and hospitals there. So very interesting. Uh and at a metal level a wonderful study on the realities of sacrificing your life for people you hope to help. He was a brilliant man, obviously, uh, and very talented at what he did. Um, and he
0:11:17 - 0:11:43sacrificed what could have been a very lucrative career for, for low paying jobs as a physician in, um, free hospitals and prisons. And, um, he became quite disillusioned but not bitter about the challenges that he, he thought he was going to help with. And if you're interested in helping other people
0:11:43 - 0:12:12, that's a wonderful, wonderful dose of reality that um you'd have to pay a very high price to get through personal experience. Anyway, that's a side note. So highly recommend Theodore Dalrymple anything he writes, um, wrote. Um So that's how culture is corrupted and it's definitely corrupted. And this
0:12:11 - 0:12:31is interesting that that's the same word used in the King James version of Genesis 611. The earth was also corrupt before God and before God is in relation to right. Uh And what do we call that? Iniquity is the scriptural word to deviate from righteousness, righteousness is how God is. So the earth was
0:12:31 - 0:12:57corrupt before God, the earth had deviated from how God is. People in the earth had chosen to be different to God knowing how He is more than is usual because pre flood before the earth was flooded with water, it was flooded with knowledge of God. And so that's what happens when you've got a flood of
0:12:56 - 0:13:24knowledge of God and no stratification of the people. In other words, uh Alma 12 is not in play. There's no limitation on what is given in terms of knowledge about God and from God, this is what happens when you have human nature. When human nature and a flood of truth collide there is always violence
0:13:23 - 0:13:50because that's what humans use it for the, in the definition we've given personal gain at any cost to self and others followed by catastrophe every single time. And that's very important if you want to understand the last days. All right. So let's talk more about how this violence is gonna change your
0:13:50 - 0:14:12life and already is, there's going, there are going to be two things that you need to think about. One is the significant changes to your daily life that this is going to bring and the other is all the ways you're gonna grow, used to it where you should be making changes and you won't. I'm going to share
0:14:12 - 0:14:36an example of this. I was shown envision once something about Russia and war, the details are not relevant to this conversation. But one image I saw was I saw a woman, a mom with a young daughter and the daughter had had her hand bitten off by a bear. And it was, it was, it was very realistic. It was
0:14:35 - 0:14:59a, it was one of these um it was very vivid. Ok? And as what happened if your hand got chopped off. There was blood squirting everywhere and this poor girl was freaking out and her mom was just so nonchalant. She's just like, oh yeah, a bear bit. My daughter's hand off. No big deal. And I was, I was
0:14:59 - 0:15:25dumbfounded by her lack of reaction to this situation because even if you don't know what to do first aid wise in that situation, pro tip use a tourniquet. Hopefully you'd have the, the, the empathy. I think you'd need a lot less than empathy to care about any child who just had its hand chopped off
0:15:25 - 0:15:52, bitten off in this case, which is even worse. But this, this person who was its mom, her mom, she didn't even care at all. It just was not on her radar at all. She had no emotional response to it whatsoever. And that is the response of modern people so often to things that they absolutely should notice
0:15:51 - 0:16:24and make changes. Um Because of so for example, you see this attitude with parents in public schools, it's the frog in the pot and the pot slowly comes to a boil syndrome because the costs that parents pay to have their kids in public schools today are so much higher than they would ever accept. 10 or
0:16:24 - 0:16:4720 years ago, the parents really haven't changed. So it's not the same exact parents obviously, but um their attitudes are not dramatically different. So why would parents from 20 years ago? Immediately pull their kids out of school and the things that happened today happen, um, and make any sacrifice
0:16:46 - 0:17:08they needed to, to find an alternative, you know, co ops, um, find someone who is homeschooling and give them some money to homeschool their kids too. You have to check into the legality of that. Um, et cetera, et cetera. Right. But parents today just throw up their hands and say, well, what else can
0:17:07 - 0:17:34I do? There's no choice. And so they minimize the reality of the situation, the cost, they minimize it through delusion. Um because they say that they don't have any other choice. Well, you know, why, what is up with that? So what I mean, the violence continues unabated. I mentioned in another video
0:17:34 - 0:00:00I just, I caught up with my mom the other day and she was telling me the school I went to for high school. Um It, it used to be a really great school. It was renowned for cranking out better outcomes than most schools in the area. And um it's not discernibly different from any others now, which, ok,
0:00:00 - 0:18:20fine, that happens. But um they had two shootings recently there and that's the last thing that ever would have happened there. Uh It, it, it was a magnet school and, and you actually had to audition to get into it. Uh Except for the, the thing I went to it for because how do you do that for, for that
0:18:20 - 0:18:44? Field. Um, so I kind of skirted in somehow to let some riff raff in thankfully. But, um, you know, most of the people there were only there because they had parents who were very involved and cared and that changes the outcome of things. Right. A so my point to my mom was, man, if that had happened
0:18:44 - 0:19:0920 years ago or whatever, like every single parent at that school would have immediately pulled their kids out of the school and done something else found a way. And um it's just really interesting to see that no one cares anymore. And that's a principle you see across the board. Um There's rampant shoplifting
0:19:08 - 0:19:30going on. That's one example of this violence, uh scripturally defined to get gain with no respect to personal cost or cost to others. Um And so you're going to keep seeing more stores close and you, you think like, well, there, there are, you know, five stores of this type within convenient driving
0:19:29 - 0:19:56range to where I live right now. And so if one close, it's no big deal. Yes. But folks, why is the one closing? Whatever the reason is, why wouldn't that cause the others to close as well? Do you have a reason to prevent that outcome? I don't think you do. And that's just the one set of reasons as things
0:19:56 - 0:20:22get worse. There will be more reasons. And so what you have is, it's like Shark Tank where I've seen clips of this where investors will say I'm out as the story gets more and more complicated or the there are more details, emerging shows it's not a good deal to invest in. They say I'm out. Well, there's
0:20:21 - 0:20:40just gonna be more bad reasons you lead with your best reasons, right? So if one person's out that doesn't decrease the probability of other investors pulling out, it increases the probability of them pulling out with every additional thing dropped into that side of the scales. Right. There's nothing
0:20:40 - 0:21:00else for the other side, it's not going to get better. The cost is going to increase but the benefits will not guaranteed. Right. It's already as good as it's gonna get. So you're gonna see grocery stores close. What, what are you gonna do? So let's say that you're in a place, you know, some city somewhere
0:20:59 - 0:21:18and the last grocery store closes. What are you gonna do? Well, you're gonna get in your car and you're gonna drive. Well, if you don't have a car because you got sucked into this whole, I'm in a city. I can save money because I don't need cars idea. Well, you're gonna get on a bus and drive in a bus
0:21:18 - 0:21:46for three hours to get to the grocery store and then when you come home, you're gonna get mugged on said bus and no one's gonna stop the mugging because everyone who tries to stop goes to jail. So, what about when you live in a suburb and with the BLM riots, police stopped answering calls for petty things
0:21:45 - 0:22:11, so called petty, unless someone dies, they're not coming. And so, and they'll tell you when you call 911, they'll say no one's coming. This, this is, this already happens in many, many places, not inner city places, suburbs, good suburbs. And so the cost of you owning and storing a vehicle skyrockets
0:22:10 - 0:22:30because people are always breaking into cars in the suburbs, right? So you have to get your window replaced because someone smashed it and looked through your car for money or they, they straight up, stole your car and you don't have a garage to lock it up in or you have a garage and it's got the garage
0:22:29 - 0:22:52windows that most garages have. And you know, people figured out that it's not too hard to bust that in and reach up to the emergency handle and open the garage because the, the modern day world was designed around ideals that people don't have anymore cultural limits that people do not have anymore
0:22:51 - 0:23:16. The foundations have been removed and, and this is going to have an impact on your daily life in many ways. And it's, it should have an impact on your daily life in many other ways that you will ignore. For example, uh if you go to a concert anymore, I'm not sure what your cost benefit calculations
0:23:15 - 0:23:45are not just because the cost in money is ridiculous these days. But how many of these places need to have tragedies occur before you realize that, um, they're not worth going to. And as this violence extends and deepens, um, extends in breadth and deepens in intensity, I think I saw there was a shooting
0:23:44 - 0:24:07on a cruise ship recently. It's like if you're gonna go through that much forethought to book a cruise just to shoot it up and people do this, they make plans to do this now that uh there was a shooting in Tennessee. I think it was not too, too long ago and the girl, the lady, uh who thought she was
0:24:07 - 0:24:30a man was killed in the process and then the media tried to or the police tried to hold back for her manifesto that she wrote and it got leaked out and she planned this thing for a long, long time. She patiently waited. So it used to be, if you were crazy, you would do crazy things. And now crazy, people
0:24:30 - 0:24:54are crazy enough that they actually can think about and plan what they're doing. I guess so. Um And and it's because the threshold of what it takes to go over the edge is so much lower because there's such a baseline of crazy going on. Um I don't know if that made any sense, but there's a lower threshold
0:24:54 - 0:25:18now and so people can put more critical thinking into the planning whereas before you were so far gone from critical thinking, if you were willing to do this sort of thing and this matters. So we've talked about just sort of evil violence and we've talked about crazy violence, but there's also, um, evil
0:25:17 - 0:25:36and crazy violence that are slightly less evil and slightly less crazy where people are truly convinced that they're doing something for a cause. And typically we call that terrorism, but that's an overused word, I think. Um, it's one of these words that's super serious, which is good, but it's used
0:25:36 - 0:25:58so often that it loses its edge. So, um, and it's applied to things that certainly aren't as drastic as the word would imply, which has to water down the meaning of the word you can't get around that. It's like if you call moron a genius, then a genius has to stop meaning what it did. Or you give Barack
0:25:57 - 0:26:32Obama the Peace Prize as he's bombing all these innocent people at weddings. It, it has to mean less than what it did before. You can't get away with that. So, um, anyway, on the subject of, of ideological violence, we'll say you have no idea how fragile the system is. It is insanely fragile. I heard
0:26:32 - 0:26:59the other day someone say, uh it's what they say, something like I can't believe with all the bad people in the world, bad things don't happen more often if you had eyes to see the kinds of mercy that God pours out and what it costs and how just how many angels are involved in this enterprise of holding
0:26:58 - 0:27:29back due consequences. It would astound you. There's no words to describe this. Anything I do to try to do anything I say to describe this is just going to be insultingly flat compared to the reality. So that's not going to continue forever. There's a number, I don't know what it is, but there's a number
0:27:28 - 0:27:58, if you were to ask how many people would it take? How many intelligent motivated people would it take to cause show stopping horrific havoc in this country or any, any wealthy nation? It's a very low number. It's a very low number. Um What's the scale and scope of violence that I'm talking about or
0:27:58 - 0:28:27, or disruption that I'm talking about? I mean, the end as we know it, what would it take to bring down everything? Very few people? I don't know what the number is. It could be as low as 1000. I can't imagine it being more than 10,000, 10,000 people of IQ 100 plus to are determined and operating independently
0:28:26 - 0:28:48that it would, it would bring an end. The, the system cannot, does not have sufficient surplus. You see, surplus is the band aid that covers all ills in the modern world. Surplus. And what do I mean by that is you get out more than you put in everywhere. You look, people are getting out more than what
0:28:48 - 0:29:11they put in. That's also called injustice. By the way, we always think of injustice. The other way around injustice is just misc calibration from justice. It applies to both sides of, of the pendulum swing. So when you get more than what you deserve, that is also injustice, you might call that mercy
0:29:11 - 0:29:37. But when it happens due to someone exerting violence on a third party so that you get more of their stuff, then that's not mercy. That's violence. So when you go get your welfare check, that consists of the money that was stolen from someone else because they didn't consent to it, but they were threatened
0:29:36 - 0:30:07at the point of a gun. That's not mercy, that's violence and it doesn't please God. It's contrary to his his ways. So what's keeping this 1 to 10,000 number of people from doing that? Because there are more than 350 million people in this country? There have to be at least 1000 people who to um have
0:30:06 - 0:30:33a chip on their shoulder sufficiently large to risk it all to bring it down. So what's holding it back? God's mercy? That's the only thing. That's the only thing that can explain it. So as it wears away, reaches its limit for the same reason it did in Noah's time. Really bad things are going to happen
0:30:32 - 0:30:56and you're going to see this increasingly um There are, there are places in inner cities that have effectively shut down. I saw a video of Harbor Place in Baltimore, which is a place I've been to many times growing up and it's basically a ghost town. The violence was bad there before they had police
0:30:56 - 0:31:13station there all the time. You could see you could stand at one where one cop was and you could see the next cops in either direction standing there to make sure that the violence was kept under control. And I guess eventually that wasn't enough where they pulled it back. Who knows? Um, but now all
0:31:13 - 0:31:35the businesses have left the Harbor Place Mall is empty and there's nothing there. San Francisco, all these cities are becoming hollowed out. Um, Detroit's been trashed for a long time. Chicago is getting this way now. Um, it's amazing. I, I went to Chicago in business just a couple of years ago. It
0:31:35 - 0:31:57was pre COVID just before COVID and I went again, I guess it was two months ago or so. And the difference was astonishing to me the first time I went, I was amazed because even then you hear all the, you heard all these bad things about Chicago but going there, at least the part I was, I was in and I
0:31:57 - 0:32:18, I did walk around to kind of see things mostly to find low cost food. And, um, it was, it was, uh, as far as cities go, it was nice enough. Indianapolis too. I went there for a conference years ago. And all these places are just decaying in real time, even Indianapolis, which, when I went there, it
0:32:18 - 0:32:39was such a nice city. I was like, you know, I wouldn't mind living here if I had to live in a city. This is probably the one I would pick and that was all boarded up and burned out in, uh, during the riots as well. And so there's this undertow that becomes apparent just when the situations are right
0:32:39 - 0:33:00to show things as they really are or closer to as they really are. And you don't know how evil people, normal people are until the situations arise where you see it. But the people have not changed. They were, they were like that. That's, you know, one of the reasons folks are so shocked when they see
0:33:00 - 0:33:24these evidences of evil and normal people is that there, um, they're judging them by how they act in normal situations. You can't see how someone really is until you put them in what we regard as extreme situations. Almost all of what's perceived as righteousness or to put in secular terms, normal human
0:33:24 - 0:33:52behavior. Almost all of that is a result of an environment that makes it. So it's, it's all sanitized and bandage, bandaged up and it's overflowing with surplus and that's what makes it look like. People are good. You take that away and you put them in what is actually a more normal situation where there's
0:33:52 - 0:34:15not enough food, there certainly isn't surplus and you only eat what you work for, you get what you deserve and that's it. And then you'll see more of humanity come out and it is not that the people have changed. It's just the environment has shown them how they, how they always have been. You see this
0:34:15 - 0:34:37all the time, a person is only as good as they are at their worst. That is a principle you need to learn now, people don't like this because it judges them. And you'll say, well, if that's true, then I know I'm a, I'm a rotten person because I know how I am at my worst and it's bad, but it's much easier
0:34:37 - 0:35:02to think of. Well, I was just having a bad day. That's not who I really am or I was just having a bad moment. It's not who I really am. No, it is who you really are. All the other stuff is how you really aren't. That's the icing on a very rotten cake. So, um, you'll see these changes in normal life due
0:35:01 - 0:35:30to, to the expectation of violence. You'll also see more and more of what seems like senseless and, and chaotic. Just random violence, right? You'll see people this happened the other day, a guy got stabbed to death. I think it was in Detroit. Him and his newlywed wife were walking around in the middle
0:35:30 - 0:35:50of the night after their wedding and this guy was just going ballistic, kicking tires and trying to break into cars and all they were doing was walking by and, and the guy just started yelling threats to the, the, the other one and ended up stabbing him to death. The guy that was, that was trying to
0:35:50 - 0:36:12steal cars, stabbed the random guy to death. And the wife just stood there and watched it happen in disbelief and you're going to see things like this happen more and more often. And there are more examples, just check the news, you'll see them. And this is, this is, you know, there's going to be more
0:36:11 - 0:36:31directed violence. We'll say that's for a purpose. I'm not saying it's a good purpose or justifiable purpose by any means. But people will have reasons, will be good reasons, but there'll be reasons you're gonna see more and more for no reason where people just haul off and, and hurt people and what
0:36:31 - 0:36:48this does is it makes it less predictable. So for a long time, we all satisfied ourselves with saying, well, violence happens but you know where it's gonna happen and when it's gonna happen more or less. So even when I lived in Baltimore City, downtown, uh which I've lived downtown a couple of times
0:36:47 - 0:37:16in Baltimore in my life. But as an adult on my own, there were parts of town that you never went to after dark ever. You know, and if you ever made a wrong turn at those times of night, you discovered why that policy existed very quickly, right? Um, but when, when it becomes less predictable, there aren't
0:37:16 - 0:37:44places you can avoid that will satisfy that, that problem it comes to you and you can't predict the offenses because they will include things that have no predictable benefit for the perpetrator. You know, if, if, if you're a very attractive younger woman and you're jogging in a place that, um, has known
0:37:43 - 0:38:03high level of violence or lots of homeless people crawling around or whatever, then, uh, people today would say, well, why are you doing that? You're asking for trouble and then they would get attacked by many, many people saying you're blaming the victim. But anyway, that's something that happens. But
0:38:02 - 0:38:21what if none of those things are true and it happens? What if it happens just as often when none of those things are true? Well, you could choose not to jog in certain areas. You could choose to jog with a buddy. You could choose to jog during the day and not at night and on and on. You could choose
0:38:20 - 0:38:44to carry a gun. But that's when you can predict the situation when it's so random that you can't predict anything. You might be walking your dog in a super safe neighborhood at two pm in the afternoon and someone could drive by and shoot you. And what do you do to prevent that? There's nothing you can
0:38:44 - 0:39:15do to mitigate that except not have a dog, right. Or live in a place where you don't have to walk it. What you're going to see is the sensitivity of our system to human decency. It's extraordinarily sensitive to human decency. The problem is humans aren't decent. The illusion is that they are and it's
0:39:15 - 0:39:42afforded by surplus. When you take surplus out of the equation, you see how humans really are and this is why poor nations are violent. If you go to um Guatemala, there's a very high likelihood that you'll be kidnapped, there's a high likelihood that you'll be murdered. If you're a woman, there's a high
0:39:42 - 0:40:07likelihood you'll be raped. Why? Because people are very poor in Guatemala and when you take out the surplus, you see what human nature really is. Guatemalans aren't bad people, they're just people. And if you took a random set of affluent Americans and transplanted them into Guatemala and they were
0:40:07 - 0:40:40raised there, instead, they turn out the same way statistically or many parts of Africa, for example. So, back onto this topic of the sensitivity of the system to human decency. A while back, there's this trend where generation Z people would open up ice cream at stores and lick it and put it back. Do
0:40:39 - 0:40:59you remember that? And immediately it's like the entire nation marshaled against these people. It's like you can shoplift all you want, but don't you dare lick the ice cream. Why? Because shoplifting is limited. Even though it's, it's costing tens of billions of dollars damage and stores are closing
0:40:59 - 0:41:22left and right. One person shoplifting or even hordes of people. Shoplifting doesn't, doesn't directly and immediately crash the system. But licking ice cream can, there was a, I was too young to remember this but you can see clips on youtube. You could research this. There's a crisis, a national crisis
0:41:22 - 0:41:42when it's, it's happened at least twice. I think when people, there was something about painkillers like Tylenol or something and people were opening the bottles and putting random things in them or something. And, you know, it was like three people maybe nationally doing this and it wasn't even a national
0:41:42 - 0:42:02thing. It was probably local and yet it caused this huge immediate response and they, the industry ended up putting all the tamper evident seals on everything which weren't there before because who, who would do that, right? Who would open up something and put something else in it, something dangerous
0:42:02 - 0:42:33? Um And the reason is, is because if you, if you can't predict how and why things are gonna go wrong, you have to withdraw from the system entirely. That's the only thing you can do or just deal with it, right? And um, this is not a new idea, but this is an example of holding back of God's mercy preventing
0:42:32 - 0:42:58the crash of a very, very fragile system. So I would like to give you some examples of just how easy it would be. But I don't wanna be charged with some crime that I don't know about, like inciting to violence or something. But you can use your imagination and just with a few dollars you could do some
0:42:57 - 0:43:19random act of violence that causes massive amounts of damage and by violence, I don't mean you have to, uh, directly hurt someone physically but, you know, you could damage property, you could do all sorts of crazy things in such easy ways and you'd probably get away with it because our crime surveillance
0:43:19 - 0:43:38systems are also largely based on the ability to predict what people are going to do. And I don't mean like, uh, what's that movie? Minority Report? Like Future Crime? I don't mean predicting crimes people are gonna, like specific people are gonna commit. I mean, the types of things that people do senseless
0:43:37 - 0:44:07violence or, um, what would you call targeted violence? That's for a cause. I, I guess just defaulting to the word terrorism. There are no defenses for that. So, one of the reasons we got our butts kicked in Afghanistan was that our fancy, fancy, modern, uh, military equipment is ridiculously susceptible
0:44:06 - 0:00:00to inexpensive countermeasures. Maybe this is a safer way to discuss this topic. Um, because you're, you know, it doesn't apply to us but you can use your imagination and at least at a general level, see how easy it would be. To do things like this in our world, here in the United States. Our world,
0:00:00 - 0:44:52boy, that's, I just branded myself with everything bad about Americans. Sorry. Um, the world we know is very limited compared to the real world. Um, anyway, but, but, you know, with $15 you could make an, an improvised IED that blew up a humvee. So then the military, industrial complex expended exorbitant
0:44:51 - 0:45:11amounts of money to replace the fleet of vehicles we had over there with these M wraps, which basically the whole point was to make them harder to blow up. Oh, first, the, the Humvees, first they up armored the Humvees. That's what they called it. We had to retrofit all of the Humvees by welding heavy
0:45:11 - 0:45:36steel onto the sides and putting some shielding on the gun turret above because it was so easy to shoot through these things they were not designed for. Um, I don't know, for, for active combat situations. They were just for transportation and then, um, and then they started blowing them up with IE DS
0:45:36 - 0:45:59. And so then they switched to M wraps and they had a V shaped bottom so that the explosion would hopefully not kill everybody inside. Um And then, and then they started overcoming those too. Um And just recently in Israel, a bunch of tanks got blown up by relatively inexpensive drones because the tops
0:45:59 - 0:46:24aren't armored as much as the rest of the tank. And so this is just a, a function of complexity, the more complex the system, the easier it is to bring it down. Um So you can use your imagination if $15 can take out a, you know, a million dollar vehicle. No problem. Then just imagine what $15 can do
0:46:23 - 0:46:49in damage here if deployed in certain ways that are extremely accessible and take no technology at all. I, I, well, here's one example because, well, no, I better not. The point is if you have an IQ above 100 you could brainstorm these ideas all day long. And there are enough people that are disillusioned
0:46:48 - 0:47:07enough that it is a massive miracle that you're seeing in real time that these things are not happening left and right and that is going to change. That's what I'm telling you, it's going to change. I mentioned hard to believe violence like you, you, I guess there have always been parents who abused
0:47:06 - 0:47:31their, their Children. But you know, this is seen as a rare thing, um, because it's so egregious, it's a horrible, horrible thing and yet it's happening more and more and you see, um, teachers doing this and you see Children harming parents and you know, you see escalation of violence that doesn't make
0:47:31 - 0:47:45any sense. Like people get in an argument. That's what happened. I mentioned school shooting, what happened was two kids were fighting with each other. It happens all the time. They went home, talk to their parents and their parents, I don't know the details of how all this happened, but the parents
0:47:44 - 0:48:05showed up to argue with each other at school and brought guns because that's a normal thing, right? So it's crazy. And this, this happened actually around here with, I made another video about this preacher that was carrying a cross through the country and he happened to come through Montana and he found
0:48:04 - 0:48:26one of these, uh, you know, Montana is thought of as a thought of as a right leaning state. But it's not, it's actually, it's bifurcated. It's half and half and there's some real extreme people, mostly on the left side. This tends to be the case. Um, and he happened across one of these oddities that
0:48:25 - 0:48:51there are a lot of in Montana which are left radicals who also are huge fans of guns. So we have a lot of those hunting's pretty big here and, um, any leftist candidate has to be very pro gun. Um, or else they won't get elected. So anyway, but there was some, some business owner and, and there was some
0:48:51 - 0:00:00ballistic, no pun intended, but there's things got belligerent really quickly, um, with guns and, and it's crazy and I think it all started because the cross minister guy parked his car in a place that the other guy didn't like that was it. That's how it all started. And pretty soon guns were drawn,
0:00:00 - 0:49:35a gun was drawn and fists were thrown. It's a crazy situation anyway. We need to, I need to warn you about targeted violence. This is something people are not prepared for. Um, it, it, it has long been the case that celebrities get stalked and harassed and sometimes violently. So, you know, we know about
0:49:35 - 0:50:02John Lennon was assassinated because he was famous. Um, no one would have cared if he wasn't famous. So rich people get targeted for robberies and things. But, but what you're gonna see is that kind of targeting come to normal people. And I'll tell you how uh it will include, well, we are already mentioned
0:50:01 - 0:50:24economic targeting like rich people. Well, if you've been paying attention, the definition of rich people is coming down, down, down, down, down, it's funny inflation is going up, but the definition of rich is coming down, that's really problematic for a lot of reasons. But I read, I think I read that
0:50:24 - 0:50:50the average American household household. So that's dual income. I think he is making 100,000 or more now. And that blew my mind. That blew my mind. And I'm 39 years old and I grew up in poverty. But I remember my mom making $12,000 a year at some point we're poor, but that's just crazy to me. Um and
0:50:50 - 0:51:14100,000 really doesn't buy much anymore. And I know that there are people who are watching this and make a lot less than that as a household. And, um, I, I really feel for your situation. Trust me. I know what it's like. And, uh, if there were something I could do about it I would but than it's, it's
0:51:14 - 0:51:38, I, I don't know how a whole lot of people are living right now and knowing quite a bit about what's coming. I, I, I'd rather not talk about it because it's gonna get me to a place where I can't talk. So anyway, um, that why I was bringing all that up is what if, what if, what's really like the average
0:51:38 - 0:52:01income is targeted as rich, not just by the IRS goons, but, um, what if you're just a normal person and all of a sudden the, the mob targets you for being rich or just some random person from the mob. I mean, the mob mentality, if not the physical group. So you're walking down the street and someone
0:52:01 - 0:52:19says, oh, there's a rich guy or there's a rich lady, boom. And they, they kill you because you're the problem right in their mind or they, they hurt you in some way. Um What about specific racial groups getting targeted? This is, this is a terrible thing and it's already happening there, there was media
0:52:18 - 0:52:45suppression of it because of the people involved. But Asians were being targeted and there was a game invented by certain people and practiced by certain people to go randomly punch old people as well. And so the targeting is already happening. It's just, it's going to become more widespread and also
0:52:45 - 0:53:03ideological people. And you've seen this with church shootings, right? And, and actually the shooting I mentioned before it was at a Christian school. But you're gonna see and, and Christians by no means are gonna be the only targets. I'm just saying these, these are examples. Um, but you're going to
0:53:03 - 0:53:24see people saying, oh, there's a member of certain ideology, they're now my target of violence. And so it takes it from this amorphous boogeyman of an ideology down to, oh, a specific person that's part of this group. They're my enemy and this is the hill I'm going to die on and you're going to see this
0:53:23 - 0:53:50more and more and more and more. Finally, I want to talk about, uh, an aspect of this violence that you're probably blind to, that's happening right under your nose. And that is overt racism in government programs. Um, this is one of the many things where it's the, it's the drop of water in the stadium
0:53:49 - 0:54:08and it doubles every second and most people don't see it until it's right on them. Uh, and by then the changes are coming so radically, but they're not, all of the sudden, radical change is not all of a sudden change. They're two different things. It's about the slope of the line. All of a sudden is
0:54:08 - 0:54:31an impulse. There's no time duration. It happens literally all at once. But something that's exponential and the master of finger graphs, that's an exponential, make a little sharper work. Um Something is exponential. It's growing the whole time on a predictable path. There is an equation that exactly
0:54:30 - 0:54:55predicts where each of these points is going to be over time. But if you're a normal person, this is all invisible to you. You start seeing it like right here. But by then it's going straight up practically. So the rate of change is so extreme by then that there's really not much you can do to, there's
0:54:55 - 0:55:15nothing you can do to prevent it. And the cost of responding to it is also going to be astronomically high. And a great example of this is property costs which I told you about, I told you about this for years and years and very, very, very, very few people listened. Food costs is another one, basically
0:55:14 - 0:55:35anything with money, it's going to follow this pattern and you're seeing it in real time food costs. Uh I think I told you a story. I had a neighbor who passed away, sadly, I really liked the guy. Um But he came up to my property once and I was showing him excitedly these experiments I was running with
0:55:35 - 0:55:56, you know, this is years of work. I was doing experiments with different kinds of wheat. Um And then I got into rye, which is a miracle crop. Um And I, I think I was, at the point in the experiment where I had planted for the first time, a large stand of rye and he came up and I was like, you see, my
0:55:56 - 0:56:14rye isn't this cool? And he's like, don't you have better things to spend your time and money on? That's what he said. And I said, what do you mean? And he said, do you know how inexpensive that is? Why don't you just go buy some? He said, I used to, to, as a kid, I used to work in rye fields for some
0:56:13 - 0:56:36extra money. It's so much work. Why would you do that? Just go buy some. It's so cheap. And I said it is now, but it won't be later and it'll be too late to figure out how to do it. And the point was lost on him but doesn't matter to him anymore. Huh? But it, it, it does matter to me and it will matter
0:56:35 - 0:57:01to you. But um, if, if you last long enough, but anyway, the, the, the, the point with that is food costs, it's, it's astronomically expensive to grow food on your own. And this is so if you go into that direction at all, you're going to see just how much wealth you have in terms of being able to go
0:57:01 - 0:57:21to the grocery store and fill up your cart and eat the sumptuous spread of food every single day, no matter how bland you think it is the level of convenience of spending a fraction of your day, handling all of your necessities of life and everything on top of. That's just gravy. You have no idea what
0:57:21 - 0:00:00kind of wealth you swim in every day. So, but the writings on the wall that the cost of getting that food is going to continue to rise and it will be more and more out of reach of normal people. And the question is like, how much money are you willing to pay for a block of cheese in today's dollars?
0:00:00 - 0:00:00You probably wouldn't buy it if it were $1000 a pound. And if it were $1000 a pound in today's dollars, it'd be much better to make your own cheese as much work as that would be, it would be worth not just for that reason, but if you take this across all foods, I mean, unless you really like cheese,
0:00:00 - 0:58:27but you take it across all foods. And now all of a sudden it's like, well, maybe I could move to a place where I could do this and maybe I could form some sort of co op with like minded people because having a cow, dairy cow by yourself is probably not a good idea unless you have 20 kids. But, um, with
0:58:27 - 0:58:45a group of people all of a sudden now it makes financial sense. You see, it's like that the writings on the wall. But you don't see it, but as the drops double, you're gonna see it, but by the time you see it it's gonna be too late now, I'm telling you about it. So now you can see it. It's not like take
0:58:45 - 0:00:00my word for it. You can see it now because I'm pointing to it and I'm seeing. So you see that little drop of water, a hinge of the binoculars. You see that drop of water? Yeah. Did you see it before? No. What's the big deal? It's just a drop of water. Watch it and wait, I'm gonna click my stopwatch.
0:00:00 - 0:59:17I'm gonna count off 10 seconds. Ok? You see how much bigger it is? Yeah. Ok. Now, let's take out a piece of paper and this would be insane. This would be like in the movies where the guy is smoking a cigarette and he's got all the strings and the stuff pinned on the wall and he's explaining this conspiracy
0:59:16 - 0:59:36theory that meme, um, that would be this level of things and then I draw out a plot and I'm like, well, let's make this graph and we're gonna plot this. Ok. Now let's extrapolate this. And can't you see where this is gonna be in 10 minutes? And then he's like, whoa, I didn't see that before. Actually
0:59:35 - 0:59:57, if he's a normal person, the conversation would have ended a lot sooner with him just telling me get lost. But you see the point, right? So that's how it is with overt racism in government programs. You can go see it if you go look up um any, any government funding agency of which there are many, there's
0:59:57 - 1:00:22DARPA, there's uh the biggest one is uh the health one, Nihnih is the biggest one. There's NSF, there's USDA, there's all these government entities have funding programs where they give out grants and all of them have a specific funding program called Sbir Small Business Innovation Research. And it's
1:00:22 - 1:00:46congressionally mandated, there's a huge chunk of money set aside to seed fund new businesses and they're really hard to get. Um they can be helpful, but that's all besides the point. Um This is one place you can look at any direction, but this is a specific place. If you go look at their um requests
1:00:45 - 1:01:11for proposals. RFP, it's the announcement where they ask you to send them proposals and this happens every year, go out and read the, the metrics for how they decide what to fund. You will see front and center de ID E ID E I and you should know what that means. You can go look it up if you don't like
1:01:11 - 1:01:37a waste of time here to explain it to you. But when the scientific funding in this country, when the most important thing to the governing bodies that decide who to give the money to is the race of the people applying or the gender, that is a huge problem. Right, because obviously that is going to impact
1:01:36 - 1:02:01the positive benefits of what they're trying to do, which they're trying to fund innovation, but they're making something else, the variable that they're maximizing and that will obviously lead to results that are less than what they would have if they just prioritized what they say is the reason for
1:02:01 - 1:02:17what they're doing. OK. So that's factor number one. But the more important thing is what I'm trying to tell you. And this is just one example, if you see government job postings, you can look through those and you'll see that too. The most important thing is not how well you do the job, it's the color
1:02:17 - 1:02:47of your skin or what's between your legs. So, um or whether you acknowledge what's between your legs increasingly, so that's a problem. Not just because of the substandard performance, you're guaranteed to get by maximizing metrics that aren't exactly what the thing you want to do. The bigger problem
1:02:46 - 1:03:08is it shows that they're already operating by these principles. They as the government in this case and they're gaining momentum in that. So, more and more and more and more people work for governments, federal state, local. It's the only segment of the economy that's growing basically and has been growing
1:03:08 - 1:03:36more than most other areas of the economy for a very long time. And that's a problem. So now you've got this huge subset of the population who lives in this ecosystem where they're prioritizing, uh, all of these, we'll say different ideas because it goes much further than this. But specifically the idea
1:03:35 - 1:04:02of replacing merit with something else, uh, in particular, your race or your gender. And how long do you think it's gonna be before people acclimatized to that, apply it in other facets of their lives? Because even if they didn't think that that was the best idea in the world, they were kind of neutral
1:04:01 - 1:04:21about it or even if they disagreed with it, you can't go along with something very long before you have to adjust to it. It's, it's just a factor of humanity. It takes all this extra energy to resist things. But also there's a spiritual component of this. When you do what you know, is willing, you willingly
1:04:20 - 1:04:43do less than what you know, is best. Your idea of what is best has to reduce it has to be corrupted, which brings us full circle to Genesis 611. The earth also was crept before God and the earth was filled with violence. These two things cour if the earth is corrupt with respect to God, the earth will
1:04:43 - 1:05:03be filled with violence. That is human nature, filling the void that God leaves behind. When we turn away from him, he doesn't leave it behind. We vacate him and it magically fills with violence. So that's, you know, these people spread their ideology into society like a, like a virus or like cancer
1:05:03 - 1:05:25. And, um, but, but beyond that, it's the government who's fostering all this and therefore, and, and they were infected too, by the way, but whatever, think about it in those terms, how long until this crosses the barrier where it's not just scientists and academics who have to deal with it, how long
1:05:25 - 1:05:43before you have to deal with this, say in your taxes or something else that touches you as a normal person that doesn't apply for grants from the government or doesn't work for the government in some way, like contractors work for the government, indirectly, government contractors. They have to deal
1:05:43 - 1:06:04with this all the time too. You know, if you have friends who are white males who work for the government, odds are, they're a little nervous odds are they've seen people let go or not promoted because they weren't the right color or they didn't have the, the right equipment down below. And so that is
1:06:04 - 1:06:25also violence in this scriptural sense. Um So you're going to see it if you haven't already. And, and it's another example of the foundations being gone because nothing has to change for them to push this out. Nothing. It's already well in place, they already have the templates for the language. They've
1:06:25 - 1:06:48got it deployed in all kinds of situations. There have not been legal challenges that have won. They, they, they just have to push a button and it's out there. So just wait I'd like to leave off with something constructive about this, but I don't think there is any, I mean, it's the same old device that
1:06:47 - 1:07:08, that I've given on many of these videos where you have to make moves to become more independent because this is just going to get worse. You have to move to places that aren't as violent and, uh, you have to change your job situation so you're less subject to people who are like this. And that's, that's
1:07:07 - 1:07:30kind of all you can do. Um, there are a lot of people out there that advocate for carrying guns, you know, doing what you need to do to get, uh, legal permission for that sort of thing and learning the rules. Um, II, I would guess that it might be better to, to first look at if you're living in a place
1:07:29 - 1:07:50that requires that sort of thing. Is there something you could change to move to a place that doesn't, at least for now. Um, but that's still kind of chasing the cleanest dirty shirt and it's, it's going to come to every place that's Genesis 611 doesn't say the earth was corrupt before God, except for
1:07:50 - 1:08:03a couple of places that were decent places to live and it says the earth was filled with violence, not violence was almost everywhere, but there were a couple of good neighborhoods so be prepared.
