Perhaps you’re familiar with the phrase the people get the government they deserve?

If under the illusion that America is something utterly different from other Western nations and we’re somehow purer, cleaner, better, and FREER it would behoove such a person to do some serious investigation and contemplation of the facts. I realize as Americans we do possess many more freedoms than in many places on earth — but when it comes to learning the truth about the rich and for a while powerful, those in high office there are ever diminishing freedoms there.

Do not misunderstand. I am thankful to have been born in America. I’m thankful daily to God for being an American and I love this nation as much as a true disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ ought to love a temporary place of residence as a sojourner here. I give thanks to God daily for all that I have ll only possible through Him, and one of those wonders and gifts is to have been born an American.

But that does not mean I lose objectivity, I cease thinking, I stop thinking rationally and I refuse to acknowledge reality and the truth. There ought not to be any national blindness to the truth and lack of objectivity and a desire for the truth in any American, but tragically that is not the case.

We have selective freedom and rights in America. It is always determined by those in positions of authority what to make known to the public. And if it’s a dirty secret, something that would damage a politician, an important in the views of those in power person’s reputation and cause considerable embarrassment and distress to certain agendas and goals, well, gaining such information, such truth will be made impossible.

Even when submitting a Freedom of Information Act request. Because the powers that be will determine to either grant or refuse such a request, and if they do grant it the person requesting the information may receive a bunch of white paper that is all blacked out and redacted where there was text.

Why is such an article as the one below here? To show another sign. People are always asking for and demanding signs of the times, signs of the coming end yet they tend to ignore, refuse to see, or put together all the so-called individual acts and decisions comprising the Big Picture.

People want to see the image the 10,000-piece puzzle makes but they are lazy, apathetic, and refuse to do anything to put the individual pieces in place in the puzzle to reveal the picture.

If it isn’t something huge and dominating the news, something such as the 9/11/2001 Islamic attack on America, or an assassination, a major earthquake — you get the drift — few pay attention or realize what has happened is part of the signs of the times.

American politicians are no less corrupt nor absent of criminal intent and activities than any politician in any other country. Do not be deceived.

For the greater part, they are now protected, covered, and exempt from true scrutiny. Especially if in power and those behind the scenes that placed them there do not want anything to change. To alter the course of their goals.

There is a great illusion, a grand delusion that it is we the people through open and fair elections that select who will lead our nation.

The reality is there are many people, invisible people, and certain powers that seek out and select those that they want to either groom or use for their benefit to put forward their goals and agenda. Do not be naive or deceived. It may appear the people determine who will be those who gain the top position to be voted on for president, senator, congressman or congresswoman, or other political positions and offices, but those people are determined FOR THE PEOPLE and then the people get to choose between the two selected choices of those desiring certain favors, objectives and to gain from positioning the people they do in front of the people.

Conspiracy theory? No, just the facts, just the facts.

Too many in America are naive. Their guys and gals are always good and spotless no matter what, always wearing the white hats, and it’s only and always those on the opposing side that aren’t clean and are dirty.

Time to grow up, wise up, and introduce some objectivity and reality in. Seriously, folks.

There are no more statesmen, no more great leaders. They pale in comparison to those in the past.

We have egoists, weak men and women serving specific agendas not for and by the people, not as established in our founding documents, and those desiring to undermine and forever alter everything America was founded on. Denying our past. Denying our specific faith. Denying our foundations and desiring to tear them down or if not tear them down then rewrite and alter them beyond being recognized as established.

Abuses of power are the norm. Ever increasing.

Another sign of the times if one is paying close attention.

Usually, when there’s a lot of noise and there’s been a clattering, a racket for quite some time the odds are there is some truth hiding there that hasn’t been revealed.

It is not difficult to imagine such is the case with Hunter Biden and his father, Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr.

Could the Biden’s make the fictional Vito and Michael Corleone appear as legit businessmen? Well, as things proceed and the necessary information is withheld or redacted so as to see nothing, learn nothing we may never know. Until Judgment comes and every secret, every lie will be revealed. Nothing will be hidden any longer. But what is taking place presently is reality. Not fiction. Not fictional characters in a film. I sometimes think too many folks can’t differentiate the difference.

Nor do enough folks take stock of and believe what is written in the Word of God. Turning instead to FOX News or some other so-called information outlet for their massaged, edited, censored, and manipulated worldly view information.

Lacking discernment. Lacking clearness. Lacking objectivity. Lacking reality. In reality, fearing the truth they say they desire so much.

And when various agencies and offices refuse to cooperate? Refuse to produce documents in their possession that would shed light and reveal the truth? Well, most folks hopefully can do that math and read the writing on the wall even when the writing on the requested documents is totally blacked out or refused to be handed over…

Want another piece to the puzzle? The Big Picture all falling into place?

Read on…

America is not as pure, as free, as holy, and good as many imagine. America is comprised of people. Just like every other place on earth. Nothing special or different in the nature of Americans. Not really. Not in God’s sight. Sin is sin. Lying is lying. Corruption is corruption. No matter who no matter where.

Perhaps familiar with the phrase the people get the government they deserve?

God ordains all leaders, all those placed in positions of temporary power. And, yes, God permits, allows, and ordains leaders that the people deserve. Even evil and horrible leaders. Due to the turning of the people. The turning from God, from God’s Word, from the truth to ever increasing sin and idol worship and abominations.

Don’t believe this? Read the Bible. Study the Word of God. Learn of it and its truth. REAL history.

We the people get what we deserve. Truly.

And with each successive executive administration in America, each successive Congress has become worse, and worse and worse as time wears on. Do not place your hope in failed, fallen, sinful, and lost men and women. Not now. Not ever. Not even that guy or gal you adore, admire, or love, is aligned with your worldviews [try adopting a Biblical worldview, which only about 4% of Americans possess] or think is wearing the white hat, will save the day, turn things around, and restore.

Think again. Think deeply. Think objectively. Think spiritually. Think godly. Think Scripturally. Just think.

Unless they are truly men or women of God it’s pure delusion and illusion to imagine such…and the lies, the corruption, the evil deeds only grow in frequency and degree at this point in world history, in American history.

National Archives Refuses to Hand Over Emails Between Hunter Biden and Joe Biden’s Staff

June 1, 2023

The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) refuses to hand over requested communications between Hunter Biden and then-Vice President Joe Biden’s staff.

Just The News reports that the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request by America First Legal (AFL) has been rejected by NARA, which is claiming an exemption that allegedly includes communications between the president and his advisors, as well as communications between advisors.

On Wednesday, AFL released the emails that it had received from NARA, which were heavily-redacted. Despite handing over some emails, NARA confirmed the existence of additional communications that it refused to release.

One of the points of interest in AFL’s request is an email from Hunter Biden’s business partner at the time, Eric Schwerin, sent to the Office of the Vice President (OVP), concerning an alleged “China Lunch” that took place ahead of an official visit from Chinese President Hu Jintao in 2011. NARA claimed that releasing this particular email “would disclose confidential advice between the President and his advisors, or between such advisors.”

Emails found on the controversial laptop that once belonged to Hunter Biden had already confirmed a “China Lunch,” as this was the subject line of multiple emails that were exchanged between the younger Biden, Schwerin, and OVP staffer Michele Smith. The laptop communications suggested that the conversation between Hunter and Schwerin focused on who should be invited to a state event with then-Vice President Biden, with Schwerin subsequently giving Hunter’s suggestions to Smith.

NARA’s refusal comes as congressional Republicans have used their new majority in the House of Representatives to investigate the Biden family over allegations of corruption, influence-peddling, and abuse of power both during his vice presidency and since he took office as president in 2021. The Bidens, and especially Hunter, have been accused of securing numerous lucrative business deals in foreign countries by using their influence and promise of political connections in exchange for large payments. Some of the countries involved include Russia, China, and Ukraine.
