The following is only published here for awareness. And to make a point. Otherwise, it would be a foolish waste of time, right?

If an individual is a renewed of mind and spirit, truly transformed from within by the power of the Spirit of God then that individual ought not to fear everything that transpires. That individual should see, hear and know the who’s, why’s, wherefore’s, and what’s of everything taking place. And certain other individuals should not have to keep reminding, pointing this out.

The thing is…first, there is only a remnant of truly regenerated souls that are true disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ in comparison to the overall population. Oh, there may be five hundred million, a billion, even two billion truly transformed by the Holy Spirit folks alive right now on this earth.

But there are now just shy of 8,000,000,000 people alive on this earth.

Even a billion is a remnant compared to eight billion. And no one knows the number of true hearts other than God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.

Perhaps you’ve said within your mind at this point, “Hey, I thought this was about a company trying to control my mind!?”

It is.

But if a person is truly born anew, faithful, and belonging to the Lord that person ought to be led by the Lord, by the Holy Spirit, by the Holy Bible and nothing here on earth should be able to sway them, batter them, cause them to fall — if truly regenerated from within by God.

And while this is not the first article published here about the World Economic Forum, and other organizations such as the World Federation of Advertisers, and this will not be the last article focusing on these organizations it is important to keep this information in front of folks.

Not to cause fear, instill anger or division. No, far from it. That is the domain of those consumed and mired, addicted to the world and its short-sightedness, in truth blindness and ignorance. No matter who or what they or that may be. I know too many professed Christians consumed in the world. In all things political, American, pertaining to a certain issue or issues.

If 10% of that time, passion, energy, and perseverance were spent in studying God’s Word and prayer imagine what could be accomplished!

The following article, along with every other one appearing in this place that appears to be of a purely political nature, if that is the case, is then greatly misunderstood. And I have failed. Mightily.

Research, and this does not entail a certain level of education, or degree, or special access — but even a modicum of research of sound sources will yield fruit to help in understanding and moving away from the narrow, stilted, really ignorant view that everything is about the left and their liberalism versus the right and their conservativism.

How so? Because even some modest sound research will reveal individuals such as George Soros and those in high places and within such organizations such as The World Economic Forum and myriad others use their worldy power and great material wealth to feed and fuel BOTH the left and the right.

Evil is not exclusive to a nation, a political party, a political ideology, or American politicians with a “D” after their names. Evil doesn’t play favorites. Evil goes where the opportunities for success are good.

Organizations such as The World Economic Forum, and the World Federation of Advertisers, the two main global organizations the article below focuses on, with many rich and powerful members and allies are not comprised of 100% American leftists.

The whole continual pouring of petrol on the raging fire, fanning the flames, keeping the focus and constant attention on a left versus right battle, liberalism vs. conservativism, and almost exclusively focusing on domestic matters is created and maintained by Evil. Not by Democrats, Marxists, Communists, or liberals, nor by Republicans, conservatives, or right-leaning people.

No, evil has ignited that bonfire and keeps pouring fuel on the perpetual fire while the short-sighted, in darkness, so predictable masses leap about, shout about, rant about, and rage about right on cue.

Doing exactly what those who have learned the art of propaganda, indoctrination — brainwashing and population control. And the people, almost universally respond. As conditioned to.

Or, if shutting down and not wanting to hear anything, see anything, or really know anything this apathy is also the result and success of evil. Making so much noise, rebellion, and mayhem it forces people to shut down, go into hiding and create a little bubble world of existence.

It’s all about, only about the spiritual war of God’s rightness and ways versus Satan’s unrighteousness, lies, and wickedness. Redundant, I know.

But unless folks finally come to realize this and then respond accordingly?

The bonfires will continue to burn on. Sparks flying into the black sky. The heat, the crackling and cackling, rage and circus of distraction evil has created and maintained like a well-oiled and reliable machine will keep making more noise, causing more rebellion, spreading more fear and lies, and only escalating this spiritual war.

The remnant should never get caught in such a storm.

The remnant needs to be anchored securely, soundly, and solidly in the safe harbor and arms of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the Word of God.

Always aware of the storms rising and raging around them and near them. But never embarking into them and getting caught in the raging seas, the ominous darkness, the turbulent thrashing to and fro.

Know the Enemy. And the enemy. Know the times and the signs. But do not get caught in the undertow and swept away by all the world is now exposing and revealing.

Do not also be as the overwhelming majority who can only look to the left, or the right, or in a mirror at themselves — and look upward. Inward within the Holy Bible. Inward calm, peaceful, and silent to listen to the Holy Spirit within.

Because all this shall pass, and eternity is in everyone’s future. With only two possible outcomes.

What do you want to be focused on, consumed with, and making a priority in your life as it is given breath to breath, heartbeat by heartbeat by the will of God?

Be aware. Be always ever aware. A vigilant watchman, or watchwoman on the wall.

But looking at what is transpiring. Not being swept up in the increasing in intensity whirlwind of evil. And it’s all evil unless it’s from God. It’s all about the spiritual war taking place — even if the worldly powers that be want to keep everyone in the melee consumed throwing left jabs and right hooks foolishly imagining this perpetual never-ending rounds fight will somehow have a winner when the bell finally rings!

Don’t be among the crowded crowd obeying their master’s voice, permitting the control of your mind, your life. Especially if a professed Christian.

And if not? Well, now is the time to have Christ become Lord of your life, your Shield, your Captain in this raging spiritual war, your Lord, High Priest, Saviour, and Friend.

Coming out of the violent, turbulent, raging dark storm and into safe harbor, anchored to Christ, anchored to God, anchored to the Holy Spirit, anchored to the Holy Bible — for that is what can and will see anyone through what is, and what is to come.

Nothing and no one in this world can do the same for you.

Really.

Take it from a storm-tossed and battered pilgrim from many years of experience in darkness who thankfully, mercifully, found the Light and moved towards Him and that safe harbor.

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints,

Ephesians 6:10-18

When in the Company of Christ, within God’s Company, truly, solidly, steadfastly, obediently a person does not have to fret, worry, or become fearful of the tactics, policies, or practices of any worldly company — no matter that companies size, worldly power, material wealth, the veneered appearance of dominance, or degree of evil within.

God prevails. God’s people prevail.

I read the Book. I know what happens, who wins, and how it all goes.

Read it, believe it, live it, and then there is no reason to fear or be controlled by anything or anyone on this temporal world.

Meet the Company Trying to Control Your Mind

August 10, 2023

by Ben Shapiro

Reprinted from Hot Air

There’s a group of people who control what you are allowed to see — the news you read, the videos you watch, the posts you engage with.

You haven’t heard of them. You don’t know their names, but they determine, through methods both direct and indirect, whether you are allowed to be exposed to particular messages. Their decisions can bankrupt companies, silence voices and fundamentally shift cultural norms. Who are these people and how do they do this?

Well, at the top level you have a network of global elites who have created a universal framework full of guidelines and ratings designed to enforce “approved” narratives and punish disapproved ones. It sounds like a conspiracy theory, except it isn’t a secret and we’re not guessing.

First, you have the World Economic Forum, the WEF, and their platform for shaping the future of media, entertainment and culture. Second, you have the World Federation of Advertisers, the WFA, who represent mega-corporations that control 90% of global advertising dollars. WFA members are a who’s who of global business and include some of our recent wokeified favorites like Bud Light’s parent company Anheuser-Busch InBev, Hershey, Procter & Gamble, Lego and Disney.

There is barely a billionaire Fortune 500 CEO, heavyweight philanthropist, government or woke nonprofit that isn’t associated with the WEF or the WFA.

In 2019, the WFA established the Global Alliance for Responsible Media, or GARM. Within months, the WEF adopted GARM as part of its platform for shaping the future of media, entertainment and culture. GARM is a cross-industry alliance that brings these mega-corporations — the advertisers — together with Big Tech companies like Meta, who owns Facebook and Instagram; Google-owned YouTube; the CCP’s TikTok; and even Snapchat and Pinterest.

This unholy alliance created something they call the Brand Safety Floor & Suitability Framework. Think of Brand Safety as a dog whistle for censorship. They say it themselves: The Brand Safety Floor means, “Content not appropriate for any advertising support.” In other words, if you publish content that violates these guidelines, you will be blacklisted from 90% of the advertising revenue in the marketplace.

So, what have these global elites decided to put in their censorship framework? They started with things we can all universally agree on, like preventing the distribution of child pornography or the advocacy of graphic terrorist activity. But they don’t draw the line at what is objectively criminal, abusive or dangerous. They continue expanding the guidelines to include far more subjective parameters.

For example, the framework lists subjective terms like “hate speech” as a problem. It says that anything surrounding transgenderism that they decide is dehumanizing or discussing what they deem to be a debated social issue in an insensitive way is off limits.

The framework is deliberately vague, allowing those in control to pick and choose how they enforce it and against whom.

So, how exactly do the approved narratives set by these global entities get enforced all the way down to the daily content you consume?

Well, here’s how. We’ll start with NewsGuard. NewsGuard is an organization that formulates ratings for American media. They rank news sites on a 0-to-100 scale based on nine supposedly apolitical criteria. These criteria are anything but apolitical. They often align with left-wing positions.

During the height of COVID-19, NewsGuard falsely labeled and downgraded 21 news sites, only well after the fact admitting that they either “mischaracterized the site’s claims” about the lab leak theory — referring to the lab leak theory as a “conspiracy theory” — or “wrongly grouped together unproven claims” about the lab leak with the “separate, false claim” that the “COVID-19 virus was man-made” without explaining that one claim was unsubstantiated and the other was false.

“NewsGuard apologizes for these errors,” they said. “We have made the appropriate correction on each of the 21 labels.”

And when you compare their ratings of Left-leaning news organizations to Right-leaning news organizations, you see the same bias appear.

The Media Research Center, a free-speech nonprofit, studied NewsGuards’ ratings. The study found glaring examples of bias by NewsGuard.

The Left’s BuzzFeed managed a 100 out of 100 perfect score, despite its reporting on the Steele dossier and alleging collusion between former President Donald Trump and Russia.

The study found that The Global Times, a Chinese propaganda government outlet, scored a 39.5 — that is 27 points higher than the U.S.-based conservative outlet The Federalist. Despite a scandal at USA Today revealing the publication of multiple fabricated sources in their stories and their own fact-checking operation misleading readers on the history of the Democratic Party and the KKK, USA Today maintained the 100 out of 100 rating by NewsGuard.

NewsGuard is also working with others to use AI technology to enforce Brand Safety standards at scale, by identifying scalable hoaxes and misinformation in order to streamline blanket removal. This means that the news that you read, news that is supposed to be fair and objective or at least diverse, must adhere to GARM, the WEF, the WFA and their subjective and biased standards in order to be deemed monetizable.

If you think this is only something big news corporations have to contend with, think again. Even the content you consume from independent content creators on social media platforms is subject to these globalist powers that be.

The WEF, GARM and the WFA are all actively working with social media companies to censor what they consider to be misinformation, which very often is just good information with which they disagree.

Finally, the WEF, WFA and GARM are all aggressively pouring billions of dollars a year into news and content that drives their preferred narrative — narratives that are often counterfactual at best and harmful at worst.

When you look at the news, you need to feel as though you’re getting all the information. And even if one source isn’t giving you all the information, you can find another source, and all the sources together will give you a broad view of the world. But the World Economic Forum, World Federation of Advertisers and the Global Alliance for Responsible Media don’t want you to have a full view of the news.

They want you to see what they want you to see. And they will work to prevent anyone from disseminating information they don’t pre-approve. They are determining what you see, what you hear, what you watch. And that’s dangerous.
