Speaker 1: The following presentation is Del Marvis Studio's production.
Speaker 2: Welcome a True Secrets from around the world. It's time
for another edition of the fact Hunter podcast as we
record on this Monday, June the first, twenty twenty six.
Hope this podcast finds you well. And as we mentioned,
it is June first, and you know what that means.
Speaker 3: Ride is a celebration of community, of love, and of authenticity.
Speaker 4: It's also the product of decades and decades of resistance,
of people standing in defiance of hatred and in defiance
of pigotry.
Speaker 3: Again and again, we've seen people stand up when they're
told to sit down, taking on systems that seemed impossible
to change, and demanding better.
Speaker 4: There has been so much progress made. It's another point
of pride for this community. But the fight is still
alive today. And know this, the state of California stands
with you.
Speaker 3: This community has never shied away from a challenge. So
this month is a chance to recharge, to come together
in unity and celebration of all of the joy this
community brings.
Speaker 4: This month, we celebrate all members of the LGBTQ community
and all the many ways they've made California great.
Speaker 3: No matter where you are or what your situation may be,
no matter if you're out or not, or if you're
still figuring things out, we are proud of you, and
we hope that you are proud of who you are.
Speaker 4: To Happy Pride California.
Speaker 3: Happy Pride, California.
Speaker 2: I couldn't imagine something like that airing when I was
in high school in the mid eighties. I mean, the
churches would have gone up and just tossed these people
out of office. But like everything else, they boil the frog,
they normalize these things. We get tired, we give up,
and here we are June first, twenty twenty six, I
think twenty three of thirty two NFL teams, most baseball
teams Sesame Street posted they said Happy Pride Month from
Sesame Street. Join us in celebrating and uplifting the standby
lgb t QIA plus members of our community. And again
there's a Bible verse about a millstone and arming children,
and we know that you know the Sesame Street has
been used as a communist tool for many years, going
back to twenty twenty one when you had Elmo pushing
a vaccine, just deplorable stuff. But again we expect this nose,
from Hollywood, from political folks, right, the debauchery is very
mindful of nineteen twenties Wymar Germany the debauchery. And it's
not a coincidence that the folks in Israel are doing
this Sodom and Gomorrah festival where Sodom and gomorl once was.
These people are testing the patients of our creator, and
they should realize that every day they wake up, God
has extended them with grace another day to repent and
turn on their sins. And again we expect this from
crummy politicians and Hollywood, but when it infiltrates quote unquote religion.
And this is a prominent Roman Catholic priest urging churches
to celebrate Pride months, and by.
Speaker 5: Can Catholics celebrate Pride month when the LGBTQ community marks
its place in society, especially since pride is, after all,
one of the seven deadly sins. Well, first of all,
remember that there are two definitions of pride. The first
is satisfaction that comes from your own accomplishments, which can
morph into vanity, which is bad. But the second kind
of pride is a consciousness of your own dignity, and
that's closer to what Pride month represents. A celebration of
the human dignity of a group of people who have
been for so long treated like dirt, and for the
religious person, it's a celebration of them as beloved children
of God. It's especially important for churches to celebrate Pride
since a great deal of the rejection and even violence
that the LGBTQ community has faced has been motivated by religion,
or at least what people think religion teaches. The Catechism
of the Catholic Church asks us to treat LGBTQ people
with respect, compassion, and sensitivity, and participating in Pride events
or at least supporting our lgbt friends, is one way
to do this. And just because you celebrate Pride doesn't
mean you have to agree with what every video, every article,
or even every float in a parade has to say.
It's more about supporting the fundamental human rights of this community,
the right to live in safety, the right to be
treated as equals, and the right to be fully welcomed
into society. Besides, complaints about the use of the word
pride don't seem to happen in other situations. People say,
I'm proud to be Catholic, or I'm proud to be
an American, and no one objects to it or says
that it's vanity. Pride is not about vanity, but human dignity.
Maybe the best way to think about pride is to
imagine what you'd say to a young person who finally
summoned up the courage to tell you that they were LGBTQ.
You know that God created them, you know that God
loves them, and you know that God wants them to
accept who they are. So you would probably say, I
am so proud of you for being able to say that.
That's the kind of pride that we celebrate this month.
So happy pride.
Speaker 2: And again, this is someone who comes from a quote
unquote religious background, in his Catholic Priests outfit saying let's
celebrate with our LGBTQ, and which was, by the way,
it was endorsed by Pope Francis, who personally hand picked
this guy to be the Vatican's consultor for this this outreach,
and what I posted today was a Covenant remembrance month.
The real reason for that rainbow, when God promised to
never to flood the earth again, that's the reason going
back to Genesis six through nine, right, and everything that
Satan does perverts, right, he can't create anything, so he
perverts and deceives. So there you go. It's day one
of thirty that we have to put up with this nonsense. However,
I pray that each and every one of you have
the courage to stand up to this nonsense, to the sin. Right,
we simply can't champion sin. And it's just incredible to
see how quickly I was just talking with my friend
the other day, how quickly that this nation has fallen
and the world as a whole, and a lot of
it is because of you know, we talk about it
all the time, the public education system, so many flawed
churches who don't understand the role of the geopolitical nation
of Israel, which I wrote about today in the sub stack,
which most people slash. People who are stepping into to
be a pastor will touch the subject. And you look
at the likes of the John Hages, et cetera. It's
just a lot of confusion in this world today, that's
for sure. All right, let's get started on part four
of exposing the matrix, and it's the government and political power,
and you know, We kind of have covered some of
this in the intro episode, how power expands during fear, crisis,
division and those type of things. And in the first
three layers of the matrix, it really shape what we think,
you know, commercials, what we buy, how they have graded
the line between wants and needs, what we believe right,
all that, NASA, the education system, even the water down
version of Christianity that we see in many churches today.
And this layer determines who gets to enforce it, pardon me.
And throughout history, governments have rarely surrendered power voluntarily.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 2: They expand wars, they expand during economic collapse, they expand
during outbreaks social unrest, and as always, every crisis becomes
an opportunity to centralize authority, increase surveillance. Sea flock area
they posted on Facebook. Somebody got one of those flot cameras,
yanked it off and threw it on the highway. They
were cheered heavily by the people. But again, every crisis
becomes an opportunity to centralize authority, increase the surveillance, restrict
our freedoms. I always say, we live in an open
air prison, and we convince citizens, or they convince citizens
that security is more important than liberty. The formula is ancient,
it goes back thousands of years. You create fear, you
offer protection, and demand obedience. That's exactly what gangsters do.
Speaker 6: They name.
Speaker 2: The names, parties, and faces. They always change throughout history,
but the pattern remains remarkably consistent. Most people have been
conditioned to view politics as a battle between opposing teams right,
and you have to pick a team otherwise you're not
an American right. Republican versus Democrats, Conservatives versus liberals, lefties
versus rightys, and election after election, you know, the people
are encouraged to believe their salvation lives in voting for
the correct candidate.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: We've heard that for years. Yet regardless of who occupies
the White House, the wars continue, The debt devils every presidency,
The surveillance programs expand, corporate interests remain protected, and ordinary
citizens become increasingly dependent upon systems they do not control.
The illusion of choice often proves more valuable than actual
choice itself. Fear is the fuel that powers government expansion.
And you know, after nine to eleven, or you could
call ninety three, ninety five, whatever kind of major quote
unquote terrorist attack happens, their surveillance increases. Look at all
the economic crisis we've had, right, what happens emergency powers emerge?
What did we see in twenty twenty health emergencies? And
we saw restrictions appear overnight. We were told we were
non essential. We were told these measures are temporary. Yet
history shows that temporary powers have a tendency to become
permanent institutions. The agencies grow, the budgets expand, and the
databases remain. New precedents are established, and what begins as
an emergency response often becomes the new normal. The modern people,
you know, were monitored in ways that previous generations could
scarcely imagine. Cameras watch intersections, businesses, neighborhoods. Right, we always
say we fund our own demise. Smartphones track locations, our
ring doorbells monitor us twenty four to seven, our debit
cards you know, expose are purchasing, habits, communication, et cetera.
You know, these financial transactions, they leave digital trails. Our
social media profiles create detailed psychological portraits. Every click, purchase, search,
and interaction contributes to a growing digital record. Governments and
corporations alike have discovered that information is power, and the
collection of information has become one of the most valuable
industries on Earth. Now. Division is another powerful tool. A
population united around common values is difficult to manipulate, so
a population that is fragmented into competing tribes is far
easier to manage. Right. Race against race, generation against generation,
urban against rural, rich against poor. The more people focus
on fighting one another, the less attention they pay to
the institutions accumb mulating the power above them. Right, what
do they say about a house divided? A house divided
against itself spends little time questioning the architects of the division,
and the Bible repeatedly warns about earthly power becoming corrupted.
Human governments can serve legitimate purposes, but scripture never portrays
political systems as mankind savior. From the tower builders of
Babel to the empires of Egypt, Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome,
you know, the concentrated power repeatedly becomes a vehicle. Four.
What's the word of the month? Pride, right, rebellion against God.
The lesson is not one political party is evil and
the other is righteous. Far from it. The lesson is
that fallen men given unchecked power eventually behave like fallen men. Right,
And that's what everything is that you see on social media.
It's a rebellion against God. And many people are too
afraid that to hurt someone else's feelings. And understand, one
day you will stand in front of your creator and
you will fall to your needs and have to answer
for the things we did on this earth. Do not
give in. Do not give in to this corrupt evil,
whatever you want to call it. You know that is.
It's worldwide, it's not just localized. You see it every
day now. Again, this is why Christians have to remain
careful not to place their faith in politicians, parties, courts, legislatures, elections. Listen,
Governments are going to rise and fall. They always have
for the last sixty five hundred years. Kingdoms appear, then
they're gone. Political movements come and they go. Yet the
desire to control populations remains constant. The matrix survives because
people can continually look to earthly institutions for solutions that
only God can provide. The danger is not merely political.
This is spiritual warfare, and a lot of people don't
get that. And when you begin trusting princes more than
God himself. Freedom slowly gives way to dependence, and that
gives way to obedience, and obedience eventually becomes submission. And listen.
There's no coming back from the mark, there's no coming
back from Read the Bible for yourself. Now, the real
question is not whether governments seek more power. History has
already answered that question. The real question is whether people
recognize the pattern before the next crisis happens. Because every
generation is told that this emergency is different, it's unique,
it's not the same as the last one. We have
to take these precautions this time they're necessary for your safety,
and the outcome remains remarkably familiar. More authority concentrated at
the top, less freedom at the bottom, and a population
increasingly willing to accept it because they have been taught
to fear the alternative. Now, let's kind of look into
the scope of this expansion of surveillance, which really with
the rise of technology and the attacks, will call them
the attacks of September eleventh, two thousand and one. It
happened one law, one agency, and one crisis at a time.
George Bush signed the Patriot Act, one of the most
sweeping expansions of government surveillance in the history of our country.
Americans were told extraordinary measures were necessary to stop terrorism,
but very few people asked how many of those powers
would remain Twenty five years later. The answers, well, just
about all of them. The surveillance apparatus expanded, and much
of it never retreated. And then came the revelations of
one Edward Snowden. Whether you liked him or loathed him,
we learned that the National Security Agency was collecting massive
amounts of communication data, phone records and Internet activity and
anything the NSA gets, you can bet your bottom line
the MESSADA has. Citizens who believed surveillance was aimed only
at terrorists discovered that ordinary Americans were being swept into
this enorma data collection program. The technology existed, the infrastructure
was there, and the governments used it. And listen for
these people who still buy into political parties. The Republicans
didn't stop it, and the Democrats didn't stop it under Bush,
under Obama, under Trump, under Biden, surveillance expanded. Elections changed
the faces on television, but the machinery continued growing. That
alone should cause people to ask whether the real power
resides somewhere deeper than campaign slogans and election speeches. Look
at the agencies that have accumulated extraordinary influence over the
last fifty years. The NSA, pardon me, the FBI, CIA,
Department of Homeland Security was born, the IRS, the TSA
was born, and countless regulatory bodies operating with budgets measured
in billions, billions. With a B, I sounded like doctor
evil there, I was trying to say with a B
and billions at the same time. But that's the beauty
of the matrix. If you will, okay, if you give
someone a title, a little bit of power and make
their income depend on it, they will ninety nine percent
of the people will say I'm just doing my job
rather than actually look out for your quote unquote constitutional right.
And that's a fact. When we say the government, when
we say the IRS, when we say the sheriff, when
we say the police, we are talking about our neighbors.
And now again, most Americans couldn't name the officials running
these institutions that I just named. Yet these agencies control
extraordinary power to monitor, investigate, regulate, and influence daily life.
Just six years ago, when the governors issued quote unquote
emergency orders. Right. Businesses were closed, churches were closed. But
what they let open the dispensaries and the liquor stores.
And we were told where we could go, who they
could visit, how we could work, under what conditions we
could travel and participate in society. And again, whether you
agreed for those measures or not, that was a precedent established.
Just like in court, when a precedent is established, they
will do it again and cite twenty twenty because we
allowed it, and emergency powers again, once considered extraordinary, became ordinary.
The lesson for government was simple. Populations will accept tremendous
restrictions when sufficiently frightened. That's why if they do right.
We had the World Games in twenty nineteen, and now
we got the World Cup in the the Ebola and
all these other things. The next time they pull this off,
they'll have to have graven images to get people to
buy into it. But if you provide enough fear, populations
will accept it. And if enough of the population accepts it,
most people will feel pressured. They don't want to be
left out of society. That's why I think this may
sound harsh, but I truly believe that You're going to
be shocked if the b system does come in our lifetime,
which it certainly could, that you're going to be shocked
how many people bend the knee. There's a lot of
people who talk.
Speaker 6: A good game.
Speaker 2: We'll see, we will see. And you know, we're distracted
crisis after crisis, especially in this age of the internet.
Just another thing. Iran threatens the Red Sea, the Iran
Deal fell apart, and you know, this bureaucracy continues. It's
just unbelievable expands. And when we went from the Articles
of Confederation to the Constitution, it was supposed to be
such a small you know, if there's a disagreement amongst
the states to unify the you know, the military in
case there's another threatened war, these type of things, and
now it has become just a my goodness, gracious. You
look at your paycheck and look at all the taxes
and everything that comes out. And it's nothing new. That
started in the thirties with FDR, the socialized country we
live in, being assigned social security numbers and birth certificates,
and you know, every single day we've seen more regulations
in every sector of American life. Even if for phishing
license and a driver's license, and to get your car inspected.
It's And look at all the unelected administration, your Bill Gates,
et cetera, Jeff Bezos, and all these people, the clown
at SpaceX Elon Musk right carrying out, enforcing and threatening
these laws despite neverving, ever receiving a single vote from
the public, and entire industry spend fortunes complying with regulations
created by officials that most citizens have never heard of. Right,
if you believe the founder's story, right, they warned of
concentrated power. There was a lot of anti federalists who
were heroes. They knew what was coming, and they're laughing
right now. If they could see the world today, I
told you, but you didn't want to listen. Yet, modern
America increasingly resembles a system where permanent institutions outlast elected leaders,
where agencies accumulate authority regardless of election results, and where
crises repeatedly serve as justification for expanding government outreach. That
the question is no longer whether government grows during emergency.
History has answered that question over and over. The question
is is there any mechanism left to make it shrink? Afterward, Right,
are we too far out of the box? Let's move
to the next segment. And one of the most effective
forms of control is convincing people that obedience and patriotism
are the same thing. This is one of the more
difficult things I had to write in the book, you know, patriotism,
because it's one of those things. Yes, we're proud to
be American, but you look at all the things that
have happened in this country, most specifically since you know,
over the last one hundred years. Or are we proud
of many of those events? Allowing our government to lie
about the Gulf of Tonkin and then sending fifty eight
thousand young men to their death in Vietnam? Not proud
of that? Invading Iraquips, no weapons of mass destruction? Oh well,
we'll just hang out here. It's a very difficult thing
to broach, especially for someone like myself and a lot
of you all who have served in the military. You know,
genuine patriotism, right, It's a love for one's country. It's people,
our heritage, our communities, and not communitarianism. I'm talking about
the local people, the principles upon which it was founded.
If you believe the story again, right obedience is compliance
with those currently exercising authority, and that's something that's difficult
to wrestle with. Right. If you look throughout history, governments
have worked tirelessly to blur the distinction. And you know,
now we're having our big two hundred and fifty, you
know year celebration coming up, and you know, God forbid
if something happens with Iran and they use that patriotism
to get all these people in the military we saw
in nine to eleven. I had a lot of friends
that I served with in Iraq who at that time,
you know, September eleventh, two thousand and one and on,
they were recruiters and they said, you know, they want
to work on the twelfth or the thirteenth. Whenever they
opened back up and the line was around the block.
That's patriotism.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: Again, if you believe the Founding Father's story, they were
considered rebels, agitators, threats to the public order by the
British Crown and again Americans in seventeen seventy six, had
they accepted the idea that obedience to government was the
highest form of patriotism, there would have been no declaration
of independence. No revolutionary war and no United States. So again,
the nation itself was born from men who believed there
were times when government must be challenged rather than obeyed.
And here we are today. They regulate who can have weapons,
who cannot, what type of weapons, how many round magazines
you're allowed to have. It's really unbelievable where we are today.
And they still create an environment where you have to be,
you know, team right or team left. If you question
a war, you're accused of being unpatriotic. I've lost friends
because of my stance. And then again, where they really
are friends if they don't want to you know, you
want me to lie? Do you want me to not
be myself? If you question surveillance, well then you're accused
of helping criminals if you question emergency powers. And a
lot of us in this circle here, we were all
accused of endangering public safety five or six years ago.
We remember that, right, If you question government agencies, you're
accused of undermining democracy itself. So the tactic is simple,
shift the debate away from the issue and attack the
character of those asking questions. Manufactured division serves this purpose perfectly.
Americans are encouraged to see one another as enemies instead
of recognizing how often they're being manipulated by the same institutions.
Right after September eleventh, we were divided between those willing
to surrender liberties for security and those raising concerns about
the Patriot Act two thousand and seven. Two thousand and eight,
we were divided. I remember watching this on I was
the entire two thousand and eight. I was in Baghdad
from November two thousand and seven to February two thousand
and nine, so all of the stuff that unfolded at
that time, I was gone for you know. We'd watch
it in our makeshift chow haul in jss addle in
downtown Baghdad, or when we were in Camp Liberty, you know.
But I was going for four hundred and fifty five
days gone, you know, eighteen hours a day. I didn't
have the time to follow that. And but again if
you question these things, you know, and then the pandemic again,
we saw neighbors turn against neighbors, families turn against family, vaccines, lockdowns, restrictions,
I know, you remember, people, there was arguments Thanksgiving twenty twenty.
History has provided so many examples. During World War One,
the Federal government passed the Espionage Act of nineteen seventeen
the Sedition Act of nineteen eighteen, criminalizing certain forms of dissent. Right,
they sound good, those espionage Yeah, we got to get them.
Sedition Act, Yeah, we got to get them. But when
you read the text, oh, a few descent against the government,
We're going to lock you up. During later conflicts, critics
of military intervention were portrayed as aiding the enemy. Following
September eleventh, opposition to surveillance measures was frequent framed as
a weakness on terrorism. Folks like yours truly during the
pandemic or the scamdemic, questioning official narratives could result in censorship,
which I saw, deplatforming, which I saw on more than
one platform, including a banking platform. Of course, the public
and private shaming and professional consequences. Fear creates conformity, and
conformity creates obedience. This government wants an obedient population. And
again I'm going to remind you that the danger is
not merely political. This is spiritual warfare. Scripture never commands
blind obedience to earthly authorities. The apostles themselves refuse government
orders when those orders conflicted with God's commands. What did
Peter say said we ought to obey God rather than
man's Look at Psalm's one eighteen eighth the same That
single statement demolishes the notion that government authority is absolute.
A healthy nation requires patriots, A controlled population requires obedience.
People like you and I patriots, You ask questions, defend liberty.
And I'm not talking about going to bomb Iraq and Iran,
right the narratives that they're pushing. No, I'm saying, to
be honest with you, the United States government and those
associated your carps and your thials and your gates, all
of them are more of a threat than any other nation. Okay,
Patriots defend liberty. They hold leaders accountable, and we understand
that government official are public servants, not rulers. Obedience, on
the other hand, demands compliance first, an s question later. Right.
The matrix thrives when citizens confuse loyalty to a country
with loyalty to those temporarily occupying positions of power. The moment,
I should say, when people begin treating politicians and agencies
and parties beyond criticism, that's when our freedom truly begins
to erode. Real patriotism is not measured by how loudly
someone cheers for the government. It's measured by how fiercely
we defend the principles that keep the government from becoming
the master instead of the servant. All right, moving on.
If previous generations feared secret police, modern folks face something
far more sophisticated, and that is mass data collection on
a scale we've never seen. For you know, the rulers
of ancient empires would have given anything for the ability
to know where we traveled, what we purchased, who we
communicated with, what we believed, and what they searched for
and what opinions they expressed in private conversations. Today, much
of that information is collected automatically. Every smartphone X is
a censor, every credit card creates a record, and every
Internet search leaves a trail. All of our social media
posts contribute to a digital profile. Location history, purchasing, habits,
browsing behavior, political interests, religious views, personal relationships, even psychological
tendencies can be compiled into remarkably detailed portraits of individual people.
Most people never see the files being created about them,
and even more, most never know who has the access
to that. And again, most people never really realize how
valuable their data has become. Again, look back what we
mentioned about Snowden that really shattered the belief that surveillance
was directed only at criminals and terrorist regimes. Right we
learned that the NSA possessed capabilities far beyond what most
people imagined. Programs designed in the name of national security
had grown into vast systems capable of collecting enormous quantities
of information. And again, whether you agree with Snowde or not,
his disclosures revealed something important. The surveillance apparatus was far
larger than what the public had ever been led to believe.
And remember that NSA just one piece of a much
larger network, the FBI, the CIA, which has direct ties
to Massad, five six dha us, on and on. It's
again billions of dollars that continue to expand at our expense,
not just fiscally, either our freedoms. Most Americans couldn't explain
the specific functions of each of these agencies, yet their
influence reaches deep into our society. Again, we were told
that these intelligence agencies were created for foreign threats that
are increasingly possessing capabilities affecting our everyday life. But the
lines that separate foreign intelligence, domestic security, tech companies, and
information management. They've become blurred. Look at we did a
podcast on the FBI's Coontel pro operations. They targeted political activists, journalists,
dissident groups. The CIA's mk Ultra experiments came synonymous with
government secrecy and abuse, intelligence failures surrounding weapons of mass
destructions right that justified the Iraq War. Time and time again,
agencies presented as guardians of democracy have found themselves accused
of deception, overreach, misconduct, or operating beyond meaningful public accountability.
The most effective tool isn't surveillance itself. It's controlled opposition.
And that doesn't require secret meetings in like a smoke
filled room. It requires creating a proof channels through which
public anger can be safely directed without threatening the underlying system.
And I think people would be shocked if they actually knew,
or I should say, if these controlled oppositions were publicly outed,
you would be shocked. Obviously, you know all of the
major networks. Sean Hannity's your Mark Levin's the biggest joke
on news itself. And obviously I do believe that Alex
Jones is again I'm not telling anybody who to listen
to not to listen to, because even controlled opposition is
also used in disclosure. But you have to believe that,
or they're encouraged to believe that they're resisting power. But
all the while, you remain trapped within boundaries that are
established by power itself. Political parties become brands, media personalities
become brands, activist movements, outrage, it all becomes a product.
How many times have we been told that a particular
politician was going to drain the swamp, was going to
dismantle corruption, expose the files, restore accountability. How many times
has a public anger been redirected into campaigns, election investsstigations
and scandals that ultimately left the larger structure untouched. Right,
administrations change, party control changes, but that same surveillance system
not only remains, but it expands, the same with intelligence
and debt, the bureaucracy, and of course the military industrial complex.
And you know, the brilliance of controlled opposition is that
it gives people the feeling of participation without necessarily producing
any meaningful structural change. And I'm talking to you, the
people of Qnin. That is the brilliance of controlled opposition
that it gave you the feeling of being a part
of something that didn't produce one meaningful structural change. The
people became emotionally invested in personalities rather than principles. They
defend political figures with the same zeal that sports fans
defend teams with, and that blows me away. Independent thinking
becomes rare. The system does not fear citizens choosing between
approved options. What the system fears is people stepping outside
the approved options altogether. This this is why so many
political battles feel repetitive every election. This is the year
our country depends on this vote. Come on, man, you know,
don't ask whether intelligence agencies perform legitimate functions that they
do some sure, but the real question is who watches who,
who audits the auditors, who was investigating the investigators, who
was at the top of the food chain. And you know,
we're taught that institutions operating in secrecy inevitably accumulate power,
and power accumulated in darkness it remains limited for long.
So a truly free society depends on transparency, accountability, and
informed citizens. The matrix depends on secrecy, distraction, and dependence,
and the more information governments and corporations possess about us
while we know less and less about the institutions themselves,
the more unbalanced that relationship becomes. And history suggests there
is less or I should say, there is only one
destination for that balance if it's left unchecked, and that
is the concentrated power at the top in diminishing liberty
everywhere else. Remember that old phrase, there's nothing new under
the sun. Those words are from Ecclesiastes one to nine
and might be one of the most important warnings ever
written about human government technologies and empires and political parties.
They all change, the names on the buildings change, but
you know what human nature doesn't. And those same methods
used by rulers thousands of years ago continue to be
used today because fear still works, and people still surrender
freedoms when they believe doing so we'll keep them safe.
So again, crisis exploitation is not some sort of conspiracy theory.
It is a historical reality. Again and again and again.
Moments of fear become opportunities for expanding authority, and people
who would normally resist government intrusion become willing participants when
they believe the threat is great enough. Now, in times
of calm, people demand liberty, but in times of fear,
many demand protection. Again, all these things were concerned about,
whether it was COVID or whether it was Iran or
Iraq were told about them. We were told to be
afraid of them. If there was no such thing as
the news, we would live such a peaceful life. But
not only do we buy into it. You pay one
hundred dollars a month to be propagandized. Stay away from
that nonsense. Don't watch the news. You know what news
stands for, news north, east, west and south. It's meant
to divide the people. You know all of this. The
big lesson here is that all of this extends far
beyond any single event that we have talked about today.
Fear has become one of the most powerful currencies in
modern day society. Whether it's the politicians, the media, the corporations,
the activists, the powers that be, the hidden hand, every
crisis becomes the most important crist every threat becomes an
existential threat, and every emergency demands immediate action, and we
are given little time to think, to question, to analyze
or debate. We're throwing all the sphere on us, and
they have to make an immediate decision, and we err
on the side of safety. And remember, Benjamin Franklin not
a morally good dude, but he's often credited with warning
that those willing to surrender essential liberty for temporary safety
deserve neither liberty nor safety. And again, whether one agrees
with every application of that statement or not, history repeatedly
demonstrates its wisdom. Freedom surrendered during emergencies is rarely restored
when the emergency ends. So again, look at that verse
and incluse, he asked, is it reminds us that there's
nothing new under the sun. Everything changes, but the pattern
remains familiar. Powerful institutions promise safety, we surrender liberty, authority expands,
and the new powers remain. So if you reflect, the
greatest danger isn't the crisis itself. The greatest danger is
forgetting the lesson once the crisis has ended, because another
emergency is going to come, another threat will emerge, and
another reason will be given for why freedom must be
restricted just a little longer. Remember it was fifteen days
to slow the curve and everybody said awesome. Two weeks Netflix,
Joe the Tiger guy you know will work from home.
The children are like two weeks plus spring break next month,
let's go. And the next thing, you know, minimum wage
has doubled. Nobody wants to work. Everything is done online.
That they killed our society because we let them. The
question that every generation must answer is the same, and
that question is how much liberty are we willing to
surrender for the promise of safety? And what happens if
that promised safety never arise? And I'll read that verse
for you Ecclesiastes one, verse nine. The thing that hath
been seen, it is that which shall be. And that
which is done is that which shall be done. And
there is nothing new under the sun. So as we
close this episode of the Fact Hunter, as we close
this layer of the matrix, take a step back, turn
off your television and your cell phone, and just think
of the pattern. You know, we talk about the media
monopolies that have shaped perception, fear cycles that keep populations anxious,
and surveillance systems that monitor daily life, and intelligence agencies
that are operating behind walls of secrecy emerging or i
should say, emergency powers that expand during every crisis, political
theater that keeps us fighting amongst each other, and a
culture that increasingly confuses obedience with patriotism. The question isn't
whether every politician is corrupt. The question isn't whether every
government employee is malicious. The question isn't even whether every
crisis is exploited. The real question is whether there's a pattern,
And once you begin to look honestly, that pattern becomes
difficult to ignore. The matrix and this open air prison.
It doesn't require chains, it requires dependence, it doesn't require walls,
It requires compliance, and it doesn't require force in all circumstances. Again,
that's the financial aspect of it. Well, I'm just doing
my job. If I don't, if I don't close your charts,
I'm gonna get fired, I'm gonna lose my paycheck. And
that requires a population that is conditioned to believe that
safety is more important than liberty, that is, authority shouldn't
be questioned, and that those who ask uncomfortable questions we're
the problem rather than the solution. But you know, history
has taught us a different lesson. Freedom has never been
preserved by passive people. Liberty has never survived because, pardon me,
people have blindly trusted those in power. Every right that
we enjoy today exists because someone questioned authority, someone challenged abuses,
someone resisted overreach, and someone refused to surrender. There God
given freedoms to rulers, kings, bureaucrats, corporations, or even political parties.
Now look, if you follow Christ, the issue goes even deeper.
Scripture never teaches that government is mans savior. It never
teaches that political leaders will establish paradise on earth. It
never teaches that safety should come, or I should say
safety should become our highest pursuit. Governments rise and governments fall.
They always have this one will too, Same with empires,
same with political movements. But throughout history, one truth remains unchanged,
and that is fallen men continue seeking power over other
fallen men. This is why if your believer remain alert,
be fearful, don't be paranoid, don't place your trust in parties, politicians, media, personalities,
and don't let yourselves be allowed to be manipulated by fear.
You can observe fear, you can point it out or
not fear. But corruption, right, these things we talk about
doesn't mean we're afraid of it. Be aware, because all
of this is leading to the mark. That's the whole point.
There's going to be a time, possibly in our lifetime,
when they're going to want you to bend your knee
to man, and you have to think, critically, test everything,
even what I say, Uh, test everything, hold fast to
what's good, get rid of what isn't. Remember that our
ultimate allegiance belongs to the Kingdom of God, not the
kingdom of men. Because at the end of the day,
the greatest threat to freedom isn't in Washington, corporate boardrooms,
intelligence agencies, or media networks. The greatest threat to all
population that willingly surrenders to truth for comfort, discernment for convenience,
and liberty for the illusion of security. So again, the
matrix survives only when people stop paying attention, stay vigilance,
state discerning, keep your eyes wide open. You test every narrative,
question every claim, and measure every institution against the truth.
And above all, remember that no earthly power lasts forever.
And remember Proverbs twenty one, verse thirty one. The horse
is prepared against the day of battle, but safety is
of the Lord. Thank you for listening to this edition
