PREPARING FOR THE SABOTAGE OF THE INTERNET AND SURVIVAL IN A POST-CHRISTIAN WORLD: FROM CLUELESS TO EXTRA HAM IN SEVEN MONTHS: A Scribe’s Take on Politics and Biblical Prophecy

 

My Ham Radio Call Sign is KO4LBS
 


What would happen if the Internet was to be taken down by enemy combatants? Or our trusty iPhones were rendered inoperable by malware? Maybe China pulls a fast one. Or what about Russia? It seems like everyone wants to blame Russia for everything. Did you notice Putin’s face when he conversed with Biden at their most recent meeting? What did his eyes tell you? Putin is not a dummy. Did you hear the audio recording of someone feeding Biden the answers to questions at the press conference before being removed from YouTube?

Or maybe it’s not China or Russia that wants to take us out. Maybe it’s Iran. I’d say several colorful countries around the world would love to see America brought to its knees.

When I was in Washington, D.C. on January 6—along with a million Trump supporters who protected our U.S. Capitol from an attack by Antifa and Black Lives Matter—it was impossible to access the Internet. That got me thinking, what if...and you can fill in the blank.

A conductor orchestrated the January 6 insurrection, and it wasn’t Trump or Trump supporters.

The Capitol was broken into before Trump finished his speech, and it was a 30-minute walk from the Whitehouse to Capitol Hill. Nobody knew anything had happened because there was no Internet. I also wondered where the police were. I guess they had better things to do than worry about an insurrection by people dressed in black banging on Capitol windows. I’m glad we had some heroes in the Trump crowd to take down those thugs. We sure didn’t have police.

I don’t know what’s going to happen in the future. I thought Trump would be our next president. I’m glad I’m not a prophet. I guess I’d be out of a job. No, I’m just a daughter of the American Revolution witnessing our country go to hell in a handbasket. The reality is, we are just like all the other nations. The great ones throughout history have had a limited lifespan of around 200 years. Invading armies either destroyed them or those countries succumbed to internal collapse because of moral decay and depravity.

Will we survive as a nation? I have hope, and it’s rooted in my belief in a gracious, merciful God who is also a Righteous King. God has not destined His Church (Bride) to wrath. Therefore, I believe Scripture points to a pre-tribulation rapture. However, Jesus talked a lot about the “beginning of sorrows” before the Day of the Lord. The only way America will survive as a nation is if we ask God for forgiveness, repent of our sins nationally, and forge a new path based on Biblical principles.

Unless we do that, our days are numbered. They must be. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out the United States is in trouble, and we don’t have a national leader right now who has the fortitude to stand up to the far left. We had that person in Trump. But anyone who tries to turn our nation back to what our Founding Fathers envisioned, based on the Bible, knows they will be canceled. There is only one thing left to do—destroy our Constitution. 

We no longer have election integrity. We have a government that is systematically taking away our freedoms, and Big Brother is increasingly watching every move we make with the help of artificial intelligence. Scientists frame it in the context of convenience and innovation. Have you noticed how Siri and Alexa help you to be lazy? These robotic voices listen to what you say. They make you dependent on them once you start using them, and they give you the information they want you to trust. It may or may not be accurate. It’s censored data.

So, without a repentant spirit, our nation goes caput. Do you have food stored up? Do you have a water source you can tap into? Do you have alternative energy available? Could you live for a while without going to the store for supplies, like toilet paper and dishwashing soap? 

I think everyone should own a gun and know how to use it. That was my gift for my birthday last year. I never thought I would need one. I figured I’d call 911, and the police would come to my house immediately. That’s what I used to think until I captioned a news broadcast last year in Orange County, California. Rioters were breaking into stores, stealing commerce, and in the process destroying buildings. The police looked on and did nothing.


We are entering the days of trials and tribulations spoken of in the Bible. War is coming to the Middle East, and I believe our freedoms will become more restricted. Christians are being canceled, and division in families seems the norm now rather than the exception. 

I decided that I needed another way to stay in touch if the Internet went down or my phone was useless. Don’t think that can happen? I used to have landlines until they quit working. AT&T wouldn’t service them. Things you never thought imaginable are happening. I keep telling myself I can’t be surprised anymore by anything, but then I am when something happens that seemed unimaginable only a couple of years ago. 

Don’t believe for an instant that Covid is going away. It’s not. In fact, I believe the Covid-19 pandemic is a manufactured event by the pharmaceutical companies and specifically Fauci at the CDC.




Pastor Steve Cioccolanti has made the statement he believes the rider on the white horse mentioned in the Book of Revelation is Fauci. He said this a year ago. Could he be right? Time will tell, but I’m not dismissing it. 

Doctors and pharma reps wear white. The Latin word “corona” means crown. This “plandemic” has affected the entire world, and it’s subjugating people. If you don’t wear a mask, you can’t travel. The Book of Revelation talks about a mark. Is there any correlation? Again, only time will tell. But it seems to me like limiting our freedom of movement if we don’t wear a mask could be a prelude to upcoming events.

There is only a one-letter difference in the words “mark” and mask.” The distinguishing “mark” of the future world leader will be his demand for the worship of his image. To separate those who will worship him from those who won’t, that identifying mark on the head or hand will be the symbol to show compliance or martyrdom. 

In the Bible, pharmakeia carried with it the idea of sorcery, occultism, and black magic. It is in this sense that Paul used the term in Galatians 5.20 as the word “witchcraft.” In Rev. 9:21 & 18:23 it is translated “sorceries.”[i]

I want one thing: I want freedom. I don’t want someone telling me I have to take a jab that I don’t want. I don’t want someone listening to my phone conversations or prying into my personal life through A.I. I don’t want my tweets censored or my Facebook posts removed by twits who think they know more than I do. Don’t silence me because you think I’m writing something offensive. Someone died to give me that right. In fact, thousands of Americans have been killed over the last 200 years, so that we have the freedom to point out the elephant in the room or to say the emperor has no clothes. If it weren’t so serious, it would be humorous. But no one is laughing because it’s not funny. It’s scary.

It begs the question, what can we do? While it might seem insignificant, the most important thing Christians can do is pray. And pray some more. God never tires of us communing with Him. And keep looking up, knowing that the devil is working overtime because he knows his time is short. Satan will attack anyone who is vulnerable. We must protect ourselves spiritually. We must claim the name of Jesus to put a wedge between ourselves and the world. Only then can we be wise. Wisdom comes from God and God alone. 

Jesus said, “Behold, I am sending you out like sheep among wolves; so be wise as serpents, and innocent as doves [have no self-serving agenda]” Matthew 10:15 (AMP).


So, what does all of this have to do with my becoming a ham radio operator? There is a connection. The simple fact is, I don’t trust our government. I don’t trust any government. I can now communicate with anyone around the world. There is no way any government in any country can control all the airwaves because virtually every country uses them on the planet.

It’s one tool in my arsenal. On a broader scale, we need to think about what we need to survive. Suppose China took over? Say goodbye to those checks Washington has doled out over the last eighteen months. Get over it. Our government wants to make us dependent on them. Be dependent on yourself and not on the government. Almost always, unless it’s in the context of Biblical grace, whenever someone gives you something for free, there is a catch.

The folks in Washington have one agenda: Total control. Why? Because they have sold their souls for greed, power, perversion—you name it. Dare I say it? Ninety-nine percent of political pundits care nothing about you or me. They care about their egos. They have enriched themselves at the expense of the people who pay their exorbitant salaries through taxes.

Why do you think the political leaders and the world’s elitists hate Trump so much? Why do you think 90 percent of the media speaks the same narrative? Whatever happened to divergent opinions that aren’t driven by political insiders? All the major news outlets in the United States are owned by a handful of companies pushing a globalist agenda, and globalists want power. They want a one-world government. It seems like I’ve read that prophetic statement in the most popular book ever written: The Bible.

If you don’t believe the media is lying about Covid-19, about curative treatments, about what happened in Washington D.C. on “Insurrection Day,” wise up. Ask God to open your eyes. Pray for yourself, your family, your neighborhood, your city, and your country. God is on the side of truth. Whose side are you on?

Forgive my ranting, but somebody needs to rant. If it’s not me, God will call on somebody else to do it. We need a few people to get voicy about the things that matter to God. Gone is the time to be agreeable. There is nothing agreeable about socialism or communism. Big Brother wants to own you.

Make sure you have several months’ food supply on hand. Have a resource for bartering, like silver. Purchase the silver that’s referred to as “legal tender.” Don’t rely on the greenback. Its days are numbered. You can’t continue to print money and dole it out and expect it to retain any value. 

Get your radio technician’s license and preferably your general radio license so you aren’t dependent on the Internet for all your information. Whatever information you get on the web will continue to be censored.

And those 5-G towers, the phone company will tell you to upgrade your phone to use them. They will tell you how awesome 5-G is, like you can use it to control your lights, feed the dog, wash your dishes, start your coffee—yes, what an amazing world we live in when we need those props to exist. I watched a ten-minute video on the virtues of 5-G. If you want to be a lazy person, then go for it. Let those A.I.s invade your home and take control of your life. Become a puppet of the strings of convenience. Know that comfort comes with a price. Big Brother is watching you.

I heard Pastor Billy Crone make an interesting reference to something Jesus said in the Olivet Discourse.

Let no one on the housetop go down to take anything out of the house (Matthew 24:17 NIV).



What a strange thing for Jesus to say. Why not go back to your house? Is there a backdoor to that T.V. set in your living room, your iPhone, and all those 5-G devices? Could drones be swirling overhead to take you out? Why would someone be standing on their housetop anyway? Could it be to scan the sky to see if the government’s drones are spying on you? That’s what they do in China.

The fact is, you and I are being watched. Big Brother knows what you are doing all the time. To take it one step further, with 5-G, there will be no limit to the government’s control. Medical passports are coming. The government will require you to have a Covid vaccine to travel. Probably it will be indirect control.

The folks at the top of the food chain will pass the directive on to companies to implement, like the airline industry, the cruise lines, and maybe to conduct transactions like buying a car. Imagine a car that can smell your breath to determine if you’ve taken the vaccine. No vaccine, your car won’t start. The government needs companies and A.I to implement their nefarious agenda. None of this is by coincidence. 

I’m only scratching the surface. I could say more. Don’t dither around wondering where to start. Just get started. You must enter the mindset that you need to prepare yourself for war. It’s that simple. And remember, China wants our resources. They want Silicon Valley, our entertainment industry, agricultural lands, and infrastructure. They don’t want to blow us to bits. They will take us over through stealth and not with nuclear missiles. Those missiles will land in the Middle East. The Ezekiel War could happen at any time. Read Ezekiel 38 and 39. God wrote it three thousand years ago.

Ham radio is a healthy and simple way to make sure you stay in contact with those you love and with folks around the world. It’s not hard to learn, and it’s been around a long time. There are thousands of hams in the United States. And I’m sure other countries have many as well. Take a class online; I took all three tests for the three radio licenses online and passed them on the first try. When I began the journey in January 2021, I didn’t know the first thing about ham radio. 

My advice: Avail yourself of every opportunity to be self-sufficient. You don’t need to be paranoid. You need to be, as Jesus said, as harmless as doves and as wise as serpents. Be prepared for the unexpected, and don’t believe everything you hear. Avail yourself of independent sources for information. Most importantly, keep looking up. Trust God. He’s got this!



“So when all these things begin to happen, stand and look up, for your salvation is near”(Luke 21:28 NLT).

If you don’t remember anything else I’ve written here, remember this: Jesus is coming soon. Don’t leave earth without Him.

CREATIVE WRITING INSIGHTS: “Confessions on The Brothers Karamazov, Am I My Brother’s Keeper?” by Lorilyn Roberts




Lorilyn:  I feel humbled and chastised – things that bothered me about The Brothers Karamazov make more sense now, as the meanings are so much deeper than my superficiality; i.e., I didn’t like the ending. There wasn’t the redemption I was looking for. Dmitri was found guilty; thus, the court system failed.

I wanted to know what was going to happen to him. I felt like Dostoevsky didn’t know what to do, so he just left it open for the reader to conjecture—a cop-out. I didn’t agree with the theme of the book, that we are responsible for other’s people’s sins in the sense that he was so emphatic.

I felt like there were a lot of extraneous people in the book that served no real purpose; i.e., why did the little boy have to die?  What did that add to the story – you get the picture. I did like the book, it’s just I wanted it to be nice and tidy, and it wasn’t.

So now I am confronting my own set of doubts – maybe I am my brother’s keeper.  But you know what? I don’t want to be my brother’s keeper. That means I have to love some people that are quite unlovable. So that means I am a fake. I apply my own beliefs to loving those I choose to love, and that means I am no different from Ivan or Dmitri. That is disturbing.

Ken (my professor), I think I am having a crisis – sure, I can write a nice little script for the course that will satisfy the powers that be for the school certification, but suppose I don’t want to? Suppose I want to risk being real? Maybe I am in search of something that doesn’t exist and I have just been kidding myself. I felt like Alyosha was weak and Zosima was a dreamer out of touch with reality.

And freedom – Christ set men free, the opposite of that is totalitarianism. Perhaps the fight is greater than we realize. Maybe we really are so enslaved to sin in our thought process that we don’t even realize it.
I shall have strange dreams tonight.

This was Professor Ken Kuhlken’s comments back, with some personal references omitted.

Ken:  This is wonderful. If Dostoyevski could wish that his readers would come away with one message, I would bet it would be that if we want to see the world as a tidy place, we had better buy into the Grand Inquisitor's theory (which would soon, in Russia, be essentially the theory of communism).

I'm awfully proud of you for confronting yourself and your beliefs. 

The world truly needs more writers who are willing to tell what they see as the truth whether or not it fits into a comfortable package. And it needs fewer writers who tell comforting lies. 

About being our brother's keeper, for the past year, I've been reading Soren Kierkegaard who argues convincingly that Jesus called us to love without distinction all whom he puts in our way....... I start to find that the resentments and all simply don't matter. I hope to gradually learn to treat everyone this way. Partly because it sets me free from my self-centered emotions.
