For those of you who follow The Book, we are all described as sheep, called to follow our shepherd in life and beyond. For those that are wondering “what is he talking about?”, I’m refer to the Bible…the most reviewed and historically fact-checked book of all time. I am writing this because I feel bound to. You see, my children are asking some good hard questions, and I am betting that a lot of others are asking you as well. We best have accurate answers to relate to our children if we do not want them growing up to be empowered selfish baby goats that head butt everything and anyone, then complaining when they have a headache.
Okay, let’s jump in. History – check, Psychology – check, coffee – oh yeah I’m going to need it.
Let’s take a good look through the lens of your social media account or favorite media channel. Chances are, at least once in the last six months (weeks even) you have noticed an event(s) or piece of information that you could have sworn were there, but now is not. You may also been greeted with a: “We are sorry, that is Fake News”, or went to see something someone shared only to get the famous “404 error – item not found”. Welcome to censorship folks, it’s on turbo mode right now….especially prior to and after the election.
I break you in to the thought process that: ‘your desire to freely and openly gather (accurate) information to control your decisions and the way that you live your life’…cannot be allowed. There is (and has been) a force at work around the globe that says that your control of your own life…is not allowed. Facebook oddly mirrors a Pentagon project called “Lifelog” which was axed some hours before Facebook was founded. Private sector program my rump! Our Bill of Rights prevents government intrusion to this magnitude, so they farmed it out to the private sector. Some may say that this is gloomy, and it is. But like a bowl of oat bran, we can sprinkle some sugar (hope) on top and add milk (preparedness), and it goes down a little easier.
As I have accepted that I am not in control of what happens around the world, I am not afraid… I am hopeful. I am hopeful that my fellow mankind will see behind the curtain, peek behind the stage, and maybe even throw a rotten apple or two at those horrible actors until they leave the building.
The truth is that history is not only repeating itself, but it is reinforcing every past wrong by righting itself in social prowess. I, of course, refer to the will of “some” to dominate “others” against their will. You see it in your cities, you see it in your sports, you really see it in a Home Owners Association (HOA). Human beings have fallen into the illusion that every person is generally good when averaged and left to their own devices, and those that do not do as others do are the troublemakers. This could be nothing than further from the truth – people act in their own self-interest. Let’s swing open the history books for a dive into the study of subjugation.
Time Immemorial: Up to Pre-168 BC
During antiquity, humanity was focused on one thing…out competing those that were viewed as a threat to the success and expansion one’s self or group. I could go through 5000 years of tribal war history, but for the most part, this period in time can be worked up to one very important civilization…Babylon. This greatest of centers was ruled over by what could arguably be the most authoritarian and ‘I am a diety’ driven rulers of all time: Queen Semiramus (Ashteroth) and King Nebuchadnezzar (different time periods).
Queen Semiramus, wife of King Nimrod (grandson of Noah, great hunter/conqueror of men whose name means ‘to rebel’) took the cake when it came to total dominance. Upon her husband King Nimrod’s “death”, she declared that her newly conceived child (from another man prior to the Kings death) was the re-incarnated King, conceived by the Sun. This is where many “Nature based” religions come from – Egyptian Polytheistic, Buddhism, Shinto, Spirit/ancestor idolatry, Wiccan, Paganism, etc. Semiramus is single handedly responsible for the conglomeration of more reincarnation, occult, and social status religions than any person in history. The will to sway others by force, as evil as it is, also happens to be one of the most efficient means to accomplish a goal set forth by human rulers. Her rule began the downward spiral of humanity by giving people that did not have faith in Jehovah, lots of deity options to look up to within the false gods library.
Obviously, this angered the Almighty God, and you are probably familiar with the scattering of the people of “Babel” because their one language was undone, and people were seemingly babbling to each other. They scattered to the far corners of the earth, taking their false gods and new languages with them. This is important to remember.
King Nebuchadnezzar was a ruler of Neo-Babylon after the ‘scatter’, and he was a hound for riches and making himself an idol. He was King when the prophet Daniel was alive, and one of the most important prophetic interpretations of all time occurred under his rule. The dream given to him regarding the statue with a gold head, silver body, bronze waist, iron legs, and mixed iron/clay feet…represented the lessening greatness of each succeeding empire with the 4 great empires in history (Babylonian 605-539BC, Persian 1.0 539-331BC, Greek 331-168BC, RomUN 168BC-285AD). The Rock hewn from the mountain (representing Christ) rolled and shattered the weak iron/clay feet, and destroyed the entire statue – representing the destruction of all past empires to make the world anew.
The takeaway from this period in time is that subjugation was usually by brute force, with little concern for how the enslaved people felt or responded. People just had to do or worship who they were told to or they died, plain and simple. The populations were much lower than that of modern times. This conditions human beings to be submissive over generations, and gives the ‘masters’ learnings from every organization or attempt throughout the years. It is all about the delivery of force in this learning. Let me be very clear…the memory of human beings is generationally very short – the memory of their enslavers – is not. These ‘masters’ WILL learn and remember what worked well and what did not for their next attempt.
Let’s heat things up…
The Roman Empire: 168BC – 285 AD
The Roman Empire, some argue, was the greatest empire ever forged across the globe (and it mirrors the strongest empire in the vision from the book of Daniel). It spanned into three continents, and affected roughly half the civilized world’s people at some point or another. But why were the Romans so successful in their conquest? Some may argue solely that their technological use of improvement in weaponry and military strategy was their claim to fame…I say… not quite.
The Romans were exceptional in two other very key areas that eventually filtered into the rest of the world. The first was that they brought ideology to the table, a choice in governance (republic) that we still hold similar structure to today in the remainder of free America. Granted, the Greeks were preceded this style of governance, but with the Romans, delivery was everything. The second was improvements in quality of life. It is pretty hard to feed 100k+ warriors without some improvement in your farming practices and food & water delivery systems. The Romans brought these things to the table when others perceived their standards of living, and in some cases, people welcomed colonization for the benefits they could not otherwise achieve on their own.
Stay with me…there is a reason we are going through a history lesson…I promise.
When others see that you have something new, shiny, and easier to do a given task than you can do it…those other people, whether you admit it or not, become role models to some degree. You want what they have, what they can do, what they can accomplish. People that viewed the Roman Empire saw what they had, what they could do, who they spoke like and about…and it was admirable to them to some degree. It was after a few years/decades of this that the next phase of this Empire began to build…HUBRIS. For those that are not clear, hubris would best be defined as if vanity and greed had a baby, which got too many angry tattoos, and carried a big stick everywhere it went to hit people with.
In a time such as this with deep hubris, it was during the reign of the Roman Empire that the most important historical event in history happened…the Birth, Teachings, Sacrifice, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Say what you will if you do or do not support this statement, but remember what year it is…2021 AD. AD (anno domini – year of our Lord) and BC (before Christ) separate our historical account of all time based on the time of Christ’s presence on earth…it’s not disputed…it’s recognized…and it’s important. This split separates the old from the new. Christ also reinforces this when he says to John “Behold, I am making all things new.” (Rev 21:5).
Once a society starts to believe that it is better than other human beings (or God), its hubris drives it to impart that “betterness” on the rest of humanity. Territories around the Mediterranean felt the wrath of these first social justice warriors for a hundred years+. As typical with sprawling empires, the way that an Empire this size is ended – is collapse from its own weight. It became divided internally and started to quarrel, lashing out to anything that would keep it alive. This is precisely how the Roman Empire eventually faded away. Or did it…..
The takeaway from the Roman Empire: Rulers use distraction – Bread and Circus’. The key to enslavement of people, is to make it so that they do not even realize that they are being enslaved by use of distraction and emotions. By controlling the money, the social structure of advancement, and by use of “entertainment”, the most advanced society of known history could become the great devourer. Thousands met their death in the Colosseum for sport, while many more thousands died trying to regain their freedom outside of Rome. Fortunately, all of us were given a life line by Christ’s loving sacrifice if we follow his example. Let’s continue on to understand what else our “masters” learned about control.
(To be continued tomorrow, in Part 2.)
Well written Sir, I look forward to more. I can, through hard experience concur that you are right about the selfish nature of the vast majority of humans.
Lazer, Wow. Am totally into your article. Can’t wait for tomorrow’s.
History is a great teacher, if people are willing to learn. That is why the globalist are destroying our history, they want everyone dumb and dumber.
Well done, a very practical delivery of your remarkable insight. Looking forward to the next edition.
Well written and researched. But Nature based religions didn’t all start at once. I am alarmed at how we continue to self divide. Many are gearing up for four years of oppression, while many feel they just got out of four years of suppression. Be careful of believing anything you can’t prove. I hear y’all already, can’t proof faith etc. Well some things do require us to trust instincts, our gut. Mine tells me something is behind the every day miracle of life. As a father, and a person who has always been planning for off times, I hope we can start to see what is really going on. . . a deliberate and historic plan to keep the working class separated and fighting ourselves while the kings and queens pile up the loot. Non but ourselves can free our minds.
C M R, I like the way you think. “I hope we can start to see what is really going on. . . a deliberate and historic plan to keep the working class separated and fighting ourselves while the kings and queens pile up the loot. Non but ourselves can free our minds.”
We have to look to and love each other, whatever the outward political views, so we may survive, and, indeed, thrive.
Carry on
I will agree with you on really important fact ( and the est of the article too ), history will or tends to repeat itself at some point in time. And boy oh boy, I think it’s happening.
Hi, Lazer!
I’m enjoying your article and looking forward to tomorrow’s edition. I have a question: will you be adding a list of resources at the end? Or can you provide a list of resources that one could access to learn more about world history? Some books are more accurate and less slanted than others. I don’t want to waste my time on the kookie ones.
Folks other than Lazer are encouraged to suggest their favorite history books as well. Thanks, all!
Hello Ma G,
My top history book that speaks truth is The Underground History of American Education by John Taylor Gatto. He died maybe 3 years ago. He was a teacher who instead of continuing to “drink the Kool-aid,” researched the roots of education. How did we get this system? Where did it come from? Who benefits from it? Why is it generally done better and cheaper by homeschooling parents and private schools? Why does the government operate them as a monopoly when they are not listed in the Constitution?
He has an exhaustive bibliography that is a wealth of resources to further tap.
Avoid the volume version since it cuts out too much. There are several printings with different covers. History people would want the version that is about 392 pages. This is one of the ISBNs
Published by Odysseus Group (2000)
ISBN 10: 0945700040
Another by the Oxford Village Press
Shop around. The lowest price I saw was $56. There are signed copies for $150.
I think Lew Rockwell’s site has an online version archived on it.
I pulled out our copy just a moment ago and had chills run down my spine as I saw the “Three Outlooks on the Human Condition” toward the front. I can verify that Gatto’s personal experiences are realistic. I’ve been there and I left. The cognitive dissonance was too much. George Orwell’s “doublethink” from his book, 1984, is not just alive in our education factories, but it is thriving. It is not healthy to be told one thing and be expected to do the complete opposite by the same person/institution.
If you are depressed, do not read this book. This is a “red pill, blue pill” type of book. Truth can be frightening, but is necessary for our growth and God’s will.
ACOG
Can’t wait until today’s ties into tomorrow’s…this will be an article we spread high and wide.
Great start to what looks like an interesting article!! My favorite line “…HUBRIS. For those that are not clear, hubris would best be defined as if vanity and greed had a baby”. Sounds like the U.S. Congress – or maybe I should expand that to include our entire federal government.
LOL yup. As I spend significant amounts of time getting whacked by small humans this line really made me smile.
“Human beings have fallen into the illusion that every person is generally good when averaged and left to their own devices, and those that do not do as others do are the troublemakers. This could be nothing than further from the truth – people act in their own self-interest. ”
True, only by the grace of God is this changed. And even then it’s a daily struggle.
Psalm 17:5
Yes!! The LIE that one must only “follow your heart” to find happiness and success has spread far and wide and become deeply entrenched in our culture. (And of course, there is also a significant difference between happiness and true joy.)
The Bible says (in Proverbs): the human heart is FALSE above all else. We simply do not completely understand what is best for us. Forever we (both individually and corporately) are wanting things that would lead to our own hurt or destruction if we actually got them. We NEED God’s wisdom – both from His Holy Word and His indwelling Spirit – to guide us.
Refreshing, that’s why I read SB, intelligent conversation!
Outstanding article, Sir. I really believe, and have felt for a long time, that the ideology of Liberalism, social justice, etc., is summed up well in the last days when we look at 2 Timothy 3:1-7 (KJV):
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
I often refer to verses 5 and 7 when discussing ideologies, especially Liberalism (which is the infancy of socialism (which is the adolescence of communism)). In the minds eye of the people in these ideologies/forms of government, they feel they have all the power and knowledge. But, they are adrift in the doldrums and won’t see the truth (emphasis on won’t). Soon, every knee shall bow, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
Amen!
Word. @ Marxist Zuckerberg. They are degrading youth and society, rapidly. Cementing hate and bitterness, retaliation. Thats Marxism, Fakebook style.
This era of US history is bigger than Trump. The real fact is…. the Communist deep state (+UN/Rome) hates…. free America.
They’re not really impeaching Trump… they’re persecuting all free speech, moving to criminalize Judeo Christian faith, free opinion and all else.
Their ONLY ethic is 1=
“ends justify the means…” Meaning , they don’t care care how many people are hurt or persecuted as long as they gain full dictatorial totalitarian control.
Much of the world is run by these loser / control freaks who have never done one thing beneficial or sacrificial to help America or humanity. They foment division and hate (its their primary strategy).
~ We need more prayer, strategic friendships (rural interdependency)….. i mean SB style with 100,000 acres between you and your neighbor. America is alive and well, so is good neighborliness. Its called private property, due process. The ethical side of the Republic. (Not corrupted by hate filled, opportunistic beaurocrats).
There’s a reason why the West was conquered and civilized (but it took Lewis and Clark Exp. and 100s of years of Wild West setbacks). 1776-1889. Alaska.
Rugged and rural, Country folks can survive and thrive. Always by grace.
History is what we are told and mostly written by those who have an agenda. Most of what I was ‘taught’ and knew to be ‘fact’, has revealed itself to be completely false.
Gold Prospector… am I to assume you have been traveling down rabbit holes in your adult years … it is a journey that I have enjoyed
Read history from both sides, the truth is usually somewhere in the middle.
Great conversation but I follow my heart once, (keeping in my mind to follow the Lord). If it doesn’t work out, I no longer follow my heart.
Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.
BTW some historians feel an Empire lasts approximately 240 years, though many are called empires after that period of time.
Do the calculation, 1780 to 2020 is?
We are an empire in decline, the US has always had problems and failures but we are compounding them now.
God Bless you all!
PS, Here’s one for you. We live in a suburb (HOA) of a major southern city. I use a LGS about 45 miles from our home because I like the way they do business. PIcked up a used CZ 22lr recently. NO ONE WAS WEARING MASKS.
As I look out today, it just struck me. When the trucks don’t roll, who will pick up our suburban garbage…..More impetuous to continue planning our abandonment of our house when things don’t turn our so well. Which I will write about some day,
Francis
ever heard of Alexander Krontratieff? brilliant historian and Mathematician, ( died early 20th century), he was the one who calculated the time span of the rise and fall of Empires was 240 years.
Ah Ceaser!
“And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind is closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and do it gladly so.”
Julius Caesar
Let’s not call it war, let’s call it a pandemic (which it is not) and get the MSM to constantly scare people, we can then do was we please. My Democrat relatives and friends no longer talk to me (I believe some of them hate me and have closed their minds).
May he always be with you.
Huzzah
All for the King!
Great article, looking forward to the next part. “Hubris” You mean like a group of people that expect us to believe that they can actually change the climate of a planet that is somewhere around 4.2 billion years old when they can’t even stop just one little hurricane?
Greatly looking forward to the rest of your article.
History is an amalgamation of traditions and values that have worked for civilization through time. Those that worked and let the human race progress were kept, those that didn’t were discarded, hence we have that thing referred to as “History”.
And yet, here we are, repeating history once again. I’m of the belief that there is so much emphasis on re-writing history because those that engage in this practice are among the most staunch supporters of denying history even exists, hence justifying the ability to learn form it.
Humans and human nature are tribal creatures with tendencies towards being around and accepting those that have similar commonalities. This is true with the entire animal kingdom. True, opposing cultures can learn to live side by side, but it has more to do with respect and moral beliefs that most anything else. And they only live in peace by a very thin margin of the live and let live ethos. Once crossed by either party, it’s game on, and culturally binding ties deteriorate rapidly…. Where we are at present…
Very interesting and informative.Looking forward to part 2!
Great points. Two words that strike me are HUBRIS and DOMINATION. The group in power have domination as their ultimate goal.
Trapper John,
Yes, they have had world domination on their minds since KMarx. Most of these individuals are out of control. They are drunk with power and it will spill over their cups when they enacts draconian gun “laws”.
Such law may be the line in the sand as half the American population is fed up with the lies, deceit, corruption, arrogance and threats. If they truly realize what they are doing, they must have a plan for outside support.
Well written. I already know where it’s going, but I’m still looking forward to reading it. And all in the next of globalism. With the Rockefellers and the Rothschilds and the Vanderbilts and all the rest. Hard times ahead…buy bullets
No Opsec in the comments at all.
I dont think you can really worry about your online profile of opsec Wizzo. Unless you have a public library that you have good access to, with an alternative identity, “they” have an idea who and what you are. Don’t be afraid to mask your movements to keep your activities private, by wrapping your phone in foil, or some similar tactic to shield your travels information, and to keep your phone from listening to you constantly! Don’t mean to sound like a nut-job, but it’s happening! Wish i had listened to JWR years ago about staying away from Fakebook. Been away from that den of Demons and mental manipulation for a year now. It’s like a cleansing and being born again staying away from that life-waster.
I am happy humbled by Lazer’s write-up so far! Thank you for such a wonderful article!
Sorry bout that. So all the the on line buying bill paying etc is so great? Bank of America was used to track anyone at DC on Jan 6. So buy by card they let em track you. Oh and also,notice if you file taxes by electronics they need your routing info. But also notice on your buyout check they never ask for that? So please practice OPSEC. Peace out.
