Online shopping - it's what many of us do during lockdowns. The other day my neighbors were not home. The delivery driver had a package from Shopee for them. Since we know the driver from regular deliveries from Lazada and Shopee, I paid for and accepted the package.
When they returned home, I gave them their order and they paid me back. When the German man opened it, he found that he had not ordered it. The store or someone sent it to him using his credit card from a previous purchase.
Fake things
To add insult to injury, the product he received turned out to be a cheap fake. But there are many more things and people who are fake that we should be concerned about. Things and people much more insidious than counterfeit products from China and Manila. Yes, even more insidious than that person who said they loved you and then left after a few months, much like a dine and dash customer at a restaurant.
For example, I don't trust the so called experts these days. I no longer believe almost anything I am told by our governments of the world, the UFO and alien hoaxers, the legacy media outlets who spin narratives rather than report the truth, the COVID-19 medical "experts”, politicians of every stripe and caliber, leaders of the world's militaries, bankers, most religious leaders, financial pros (fiat and #crypto included), and anybody presenting themselves as an authority regarding any subject matter.
I am a bonfire skeptic and rightly so. I have read George Orwell's 1984, Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, and Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451. We live in a dystopian world that is both real and fake.
"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” - George Orwell, 1984.
Evil
Evil is flourishing because most people are far too timid to speak against it. "For goodness sake," they say, "we might be persecuted and cancelled!" There are far worse fates.
We are manipulated and forced to follow the new rules, which are changing each day. You and me and our loved ones are simply nothing more than parasites to the world's tyrannical power-hungry satanical fiends. Collectively, these thirsty bloodsuckers have proven and continue to prove that they will utilize any means necessary to achieve their evil objectives. They are the antithesis of Emmanuels Kant's categorical imperative: they use us a a means to an end.
Quite frankly, I'll have none of he manipulation and tyranny. Instead, I'll continue to opt for the truth. I'll speak truth to power, good to evil, facts to falsities. I must because I serve the King of Truth.
If you have been paying attention, the level of shameless duplicity and blatant criminality among people who dare characterize themselves as leaders and experts in our ever degenerate societies has reached monumental heights levels over the last couple of years.
We are controlled by malevolent puppet masters who pull our strings, and if we are not careful, we become their prey. Resist evil. We must!
No longer are there are trustworthy politicians. Poor, control and money are their objectives as they lie and smile in your face. There are no longer any trustworthy military leaders. They push critical race theory (reverse racism) and deviant behaviors disguised under a rainbow flag.
No longer do we have any trustworthy scientists or academics. The scientific method is for sale at an immense profit rather than for knowledge and advancing humanity for the good. They have collectively been rounded up by the elite puppet masters and are financially under obligation to those evil monsters who control the purse strings.
It would appear to most that there is no hope, no way out from the morass of evil spreading around the world. But there is actually hope in the truth because truth reveals the lies.
The ultimate Truth
the Bible is God's infallible, inerrant truth. Our so called leaders have taken prayer and God out of our schools and institutions for their purpose. They know that God's word provides everything we need to live a worthy, Godly life, the very opposite of what the world teaches. Those behind the curtain that camouflages evil for a time are banking on their decades long social indoctrination program, that is, the public school system, to keep the populations of the world from thinking, or questioning, or reaching the conclusion that they are in fact being hoodwinked by the same people they wrongly believe are looking out for their best interests.
But another voice calls them out as the vipers they are.
Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples.Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free" (John 8:31-32, NIV).
He also said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life" (John 14:6).
We have hope in Christ Jesus and in Him alone. In and of ourselves we are too weak, but God is all powerful. Is there anything He cannot do? He will vanquish and destroy the nations of the world, and all evil that presently besets us.
In the final analysis, you either side with evil or good, the malevolence of the world system or the righteousness of God. Choose you this day whom you will serve. Choose the blizzard of lies or the whirlwind of truth. You've always had a choice.
We always have a choice and it's really up to them whether we side with good or not. We have to be aware of Fakes! Good thing I came across to your article @MarielB22! 💖
