Believing vs Knowing...

 I thought my silence was caused by having nothing to say.

I was wrong.

It was more about having too much to say.

My apologies to all my faithful readers for the long silence.  And to all those who have emailed me without a response, I will correct that over the next few days.

For many years, I had certain expectations of the manner in which civilized people ought to act. It was something I believed.  Of course, that would mean realizing the veneer of being civilized was very thin on many people. I didn't. I also believed there were bad people, aka as evil people, in the world, but they were the minority. I was wrong.

Several months ago, I suddenly came to know what in the past I only believed.  It was a stunning awakening.  A very simple explanation:

The main difference between knowing and believing is that knowing refers to knowledge about something. On the other hand, believing refers to a firm conviction and trust in an idea, value or belief. In addition, Knowing is located in the physical realm, whereas believing is located in the mental domain. While knowing is eternal, believing is temporary. source

The main thing I came to know, rather than just believe, was Satan was hard at work in our world doing what he does best - causing chaos.  

Canada: Canary in the Coal Mine

If anyone thinks, or believes, what just happened in Canada doesn't have ramifications for the United States had better come to the knowledge post-haste that it does. 

It can, and probably will, happen here. 

Are you an "ordinary man?"

On the radio a few days ago, Jesse Kelly recounted the true story told in the book Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland*.

From Amazon:

In the early hours of July 13, 1942, the men of Reserve Police Battalion 101, a unit of the German Order Police, entered the Polish Village of Jozefow. They had arrived in Poland less than three weeks before, most of them recently drafted family men too old for combat service--workers, artisans, salesmen, and clerks. By nightfall, they had rounded up Jozefow's 1,800 Jews, selected several hundred men as "work Jews," and shot the rest--that is, some 1,500 women, children, and old people. 
Most of these overage, rear-echelon reserve policemen had grown to maturity in the port city of Hamburg in pre-Hitler Germany and were neither committed Nazis nor racial fanatics. Nevertheless, in the sixteen months from the Jozefow massacre to the brutal Erntefest ("harvest festival") slaughter of November 1943, these average men participated in the direct shooting deaths of at least 38,000 Jews and the deportation to Treblinka's gas chambers of 45,000 more--a total body count of 83,000 for a unit of less than 500 men.

After you've read the previous description, read it again. What is missing is the fact these "ordinary men" were given a choice to step away from the slaughter with no adverse ramifications.  Only a dozen or so out of 500 said, "No".

 And then think about who you are and what you would do in that situation. Would you decline or would you "just follow orders?"

Considerations:

  • Did you allow your children to be masked up at school?
  • Are you still allowing your children to be forced to wear a mask?
  • Did you put on a mask because it's the only way you could access places like Costco or Target?
  • Did you drive around alone or take a walk with your dog with a mask plastered to your face?
  • Did you yell at or shun unmasked people in public accommodations?
  • Did you reprimand people who you thought were standing too close to you?
  • Did you receive a dangerous pretend "vaccine" in order to keep your job?
  • Worse yet - did you take a dangerous jab because you thought it would protect you?
  • Did you drag your innocent children in to also receive the dangerous jab?
  • Did or do you refuse to associate with family members who didn't get the jab?
  • Did you remain silent while small businesses were driven from the market place while big box stores were deemed "essential"?
  • Did you fail to support conservative candidates for school board, sheriff, or other local offices?
  • Worse yet - did you fail to vote?
Living in North Idaho, most of the draconian nonsense passed by us. Yet I know I would not have acquiesced if I lived in an area that used illegal means to force compliance. 

About the only thing I can say with certainty is that I've always known before my awakening several months ago is there is a God -Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and cats rule.

May you know these truths also.
