World War III Has Begun

Well, it really began a while ago…

A CROOKED PATH

Technology and increasing human knowledge begat exploration. Exploration begat colonization. Colonization begat worldwide populations. Which begat increased knowledge, technology, and human conflict.

Let’s fast-forward a couple of hundred years.

The Industrial Revolution which began between 1790 to 1840 depending on where a person lived in the United Kingdom, Europe, or America begat an increase in human knowledge and technology unlike any other period in world history. This likewise increased every aspect of human nature; greed, coveting, lust, the quest for power, desire to dominate others, lying, and how to annihilate an enemy more effectively and on a much larger scale and quicker than ever before.

This begat World War I, which while the doughboys and Huns weren’t killing each other by the thousands daily in the Somme, World War I never ended. It only begat heightened tensions and hostilities, more volatility, and begat World War II. Which has never ended contrary to what any government might declare, or any pundit. The historians that don’t fall in goosestep with the company line know this. World War II has begat every skirmish, and war since. Including the Cold War, which never ended despite the outright lies spread by every Western government and so-called news agency.

There was a period not long ago where something called detente was bantered about. Know what detente really means? Once appearing sane, intelligent, rational, and knowledgeable people somehow suffered severe head trauma, they got hit in the head at some point and lost all sense, reason, and understanding of history and human nature.

We had every president, politician, diplomat, and on-air talking head as well as every trained talking bird in print media spreading the lie of detente and an end to the Cold War.

As if the Russians had suddenly after their over 1,000-year history of revealing their true heart and makeup became like your favorite uncle that whenever he came over to visit slipped you a $5 bill and a bag of your favorite sweets and always told some jokes that made you laugh.

That was the attitude. The prevailing lost, ignorant, and foolish attitude.

Now let’s hit the fast forward button again and get to today, Monday, June 27th, 2022.

World War III has begun even though no government will acknowledge this fact — just as ever one resisted and refused to acknowledge World War I or World War II when they began, save for singular or at most duet of voices that were ignored by everyone in the world.

When a World War starts it isn’t like turning on your TV, or starting your car and going from nothingness to starting. It’s an oozing process. Subtle. So as not to appear as what it really is. Just as they always have before. Nothing changes. Including the denial, the overwhelming majority not paying attention, losing interest within a few days or a couple of weeks at most of some “big story” being in the news about a conflict between two nations or more.

When the Soviet Union and Tsar Putin, oh, excuse me, when Russia and Tsar Putin are using a sympathetic nation, Belarus, to launch missiles into Ukraine, and the United States, England, and France are equipping the Ukrainian military with weapons — forget the lying Germans who promised months ago to send military aid and have yet to do so. There’s always a lot of talk, a lot of misinformation in times such as these, and a lot of confusion and conflicting words besides the physical human conflict and carnage taking place.

What to do then?

Well, most refuse to believe this. They choose to ignore reality and reside in the fantasy bubble world they have created for themselves. Fueled by drugs, alcohol, lies, and delusion upon delusion, illusion upon illusion — whatever it takes to avoid reality.

Some, those paying attention to the manipulated and controlled so-called news media while saying they don’t believe them, yeah, right, most believe what they see and hear or read [do people actually still read?] contrary to the misinformation about how folks don’t trust the media. If they see a video on air? No matter if that is real or manufactured reality? They believe it. If some talking head knowing how to frame words and their tone says something that could be totally erroneous? Most will still believe it no matter what they may say otherwise.

The Russians are a barbaric, brutal blood lust people. Are you aware of any history regarding Russia? The Tsars? The Communist Rebellion? Lenin? Tolstoy? How the Russian military really operates toward its own soldiers and people? How about Josef Stalin? Worse than Hitler if we’re keeping tabs according to the body count. Or all the ensuing regimes after Stalin to the present Putin?

Barbarians. Brutal. Merciless. Blood lust to equal any known of any people in the history of the world.

And they are not alone.

The panic for resources, position in world power, and ego, all escalate everything.

And just as technology has accelerated matters faster than at any other time in world history? Current technology and the increase in human knowledge are moving so quickly that no human or institution can actually keep pace with it. There are resources to clarify and verify this. I urge folks finding themselves here to take the time to do some self-study on this subject.

Evil rises. Evil increases. As do the lies, the fear, and the tensions.

Nothing ever changes. Ever.

Contrary to the lies told that people want to believe. But history has proved human nature has not changed one iota, not one molecule or DNA strand since the beginning. We only increase our efficiency to destroy and kill and lie. And reside in an altered state from reality.

Know why World War I begat World War II that begat the Cold War that has never ended, that has begat every ill and problem currently that has led to begating World War III?

Because the SPIRITUAL WAR within each person has never had a truce, a cease-fire, an armistice. Ever. Not for a nanosecond. And that spiritual war escalates and grows in intensity. The battle rages on.

And it will. Only getting worse. And then even worse than that.

Until the Lord Jesus Christ returns a Second and final time and sets His foot down on the Mount of Olives one more time…

What to do until then?

Well, I would strongly urge not fearing, not being so worried and troubled, not being so otherwise occupied and not paying attention while striking a balance and not becoming consumed with all the events, rumors, and what is said or written by the people of the world — and to turn, no matter if professed Christian for many years, now to Christ, or blatant pagan — to turn to God. Turn to the Lord Jesus Christ. Turn to the Holy Spirit. Turn to the Word of God. Be a watchman or watchwoman on the wall. But while being a light unto the world, being a true disciple of Jesus, not allowing the affairs of this world to cause any fear or trembling. To live to be pleasing and acceptable unto the Lord.

For the physical wars and especially the spiritual war are only going to rage on in intensity from this point on until the Lord returns.

And if refusing to believe that World War III has begun as a result of what is occurring in Ukraine and Russia and the intervention of America, England, and France among other nations in this conflict? Then it would behoove the reader to pause and ponder the sleight-of-hand taking place with regard to what Imperialistic Communist China has been doing in the Pacific, with smaller, weaker vulnerable Asian nations, and African nations. and how Imperialistic Communist China already started World War III with the United States a while ago…

Kyiv, Ukraine: A Missile Strike Hits Shopping Center With 1,000 People Inside

KYIV, Ukraine — A shopping center in Ukraine’s central Poltava region was hit by a Russian missile strike on Monday afternoon, the Ukrainian authorities said.

Ukraine’s president said an estimated 1,000 people were inside the building at the time of the strike. As rescuers combed the scene, Ukraine’s emergency services said that two people were confirmed dead and at least another 20 were injured.

Videos shot after the strike and posted online showed a fire raging as emergency workers frantically tried to extinguish the flame and civilians loaded the injured into ambulances near the railway station in the industrial city of Kremenchuk. Footage that appeared to be captured by people running for the exits showed them navigating a thick cloud of debris and dust as they clambered over broken windows, doors and crumbling walls.

By Monday evening, Ukrainian media reported that 115 firefighters had managed to put out the massive blaze.

Sitting on the Dnieper river, Kremenchuk is a major Ukrainian industrial hub with factories that produce railway cars and trucks. It is also home to Ukraine’s largest oil refinery, which has been targeted repeatedly by Russian missiles, according to the local news media, part of Moscow’s strategy to destroy the country’s fuel production and storage infrastructure.

President Volodymyr Zelensky said the shopping mall had posed “no danger to the Russian army,” in comments posted to Telegram. “No strategic value. Only the attempt of people to live a normal life, which so angers the occupiers. Russia continues to place its powerlessness on ordinary citizens. It is useless to hope for adequacy and humanity on its part.”

The strike on Kremenchuk came after Russia fired more than 65 missiles at Ukraine on Saturday and Sunday, including a strike in the capital, Kyiv, in which one person died.

Poltava’s regional governor, Dmytro Lunin, called the attack a “cynical act of terror against the civilian population” that constituted a “war crime.”

And Mr. Zelensky’s chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, decried the attack and called on Ukraine’s Western allies to give the country more defensive weapons.

“We need more weapons to protect our people, we need air defense systems,” he wrote on Telegram. “Russia must be recognized as a sponsor of terrorism. This evil must be punished.”

Pro-Kremlin journalists were quick to deny Russian involvement and offer alternative theories about what had caused the fire.

Andrei Rudenko, a reporter with the Russian state-run television network Rossiya, called the fire “a provocation” and cast doubt over the claim that 1,000 people had been in the mall by citing images of the empty parking lot in front of it.

“There is a feeling that they have set it all ablaze themselves and shot at it to make the picture look good,” he said in his channel on Telegram, a social messaging app.

Other pro-Russian commentators suggested that a major machine-building factory behind the shopping mall had been the target, saying that the mall itself was collateral damage.

Kremenchuk had a population of almost 220,000 people before Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in late February.
