Perception is reality

An opening statement from a Black Republic strategist on television should contain at least a kernel of truth if not a maxim. It may not be clear whose rear end is hosting the strategist’s head but America’s god is consistently mercurial.  Now you see him, now you don’t.  If the GOP is not the American Hezbollah and the southern governors are not an indication of righteous indignation, insurrection-ready and trigger-happy cowardice there is only a snowball’s chances in Gehenna for reality to mean anything in the media.

What god! what reality?

The majority of the justices on the Supreme Court are making it clear to a precious few – who have the sense to listen to the audio of its hearing that they do not know right from wrong. They majority are so out of touch with reality that the elder justice, Clarence Thomas, is shamelessly pants-down and compromised by his wife’s intimacy with the planners of the January 6th assault on democracy and the attempted murder of those elected members of the Congress who dared to certify Joseph Biden’s win and affirm the loss of the 45th and most unfit person ever to occupy the executive mansion.  Does a nation-wide ban on abortion and the criminalization of healthcare look like reality?  Whose perception is it that American politics and religion landscape are together the cess-pool of catastrophe? That Black strategist is a good example of an American who thinks that landless freed slaves are a great first step in the administration of justice.  Whose perception is it that Black people are really still being shut out of the commonwealth of the great and mighty United States in plain sight, through the electoral system and real estate policies?

Perfect cover

Nobody but me in the conscious world believes that a people who narrowly escaped genocide more than once would try it. Logically, the last person of interest on the list of those sleuthing for genocidal maniacs would be those who have escaped it. So who would perpetrate genocidal acts thinking that nobody’s going to believe it?

Search me!

  • Legal righteousness is cheap.
  • Talk of passionate self defence is oppression in disguse
  • Anybody can bully defenceless people
  • Moral high ground is hard to find

I exaggerate! Lots of people recognize that peace in Palestine-Israel is long overdue. How can murder-prone people live together?  Who else has a city name surnamed “peace”? An American president has nothing to do with establishing Israel’s capital.  David was anointed for a second time at Hebron and his reign there lasted for seven years, a mere 17% of his total reign.

So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and King David made a covenant with them before the Lord at Hebron; then they anointed David king over Israel.

2 Samuel 5:3

David is known for reigning from Jerusalem, erecting a tent nearby in Zion, and purchasing the property for building the temple.

The days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: seven years he reigned in Hebron and thirty-three years he reigned in Jerusalem.

1 Kings 2:11

The amazing American experiment quagmires

It is clear that the reign of Britannia migrated from the waves to dry land in the Thirteen Colonies, and the United States is deeply compromised in the lies it has used to become a world-ruling power disguised as everyone’s uncle.  In a country of laws without a king there is an increasing stench of dishonesty every time a lawyer steps up to defend the priorities of a slave economy, and an even fouler stench emanates when the Supreme Court gets a  case involving the rights of women and children and when so-called Christian witnesses try to align themselves with ancient heroic Israelites.

The latest time gobbler

I hope you have noticed that there are quite a few videos being circulated, forwarded many times, according to the Meta logarithm, that are clearly the work of artificial intelligence. They come to us in the form of prayers and encouragement and inspiration, and they almost always use Jesus a tack-on, never as the Lord of creation and salvation.  The latest is an exhortation using a passage from Jeremiah the talks about seeking the Lord with all the heart and finding him as a result. I do not care to listen to that kind of information, because I sensed immediately that it had nothing to do with God seeking us which is the mission of the Messiah, and not the seeking of God that comes from a people, Judah,  who have rejected him, have been thrown into exile and had their city and temple destroyed, and need to return to their God.

The seeking that matters

God’s sovereign search as Shepherd for his lost sheep stands out.  The sheep, of whom he knows their helpless heart condition, are not, are not looking for him, and will not be tempted by the proposition that they found him as a result of their diligent search.  Far too many people are seeing the church as broken, in disrepair and count themselves as reformers and repairers of the breach, when in fact nothing is wrong with Christ’s body.  Another famous rabbit hole is the one from second Chronicles “If my people who are called by my name will.. I will heal their land”.

I do not recommend you spend 18 minutes going down to this muddy pond. So here is a screenshot of the video

Judicial gymnastics predicted

The gravely compromised US Supreme Court is slated to rule on how persons who try to overthrow the government should be permanently barred from public office.  The astute Elie Mystal sees the justices spectacularly dancing around the obvious.  That is an opinion I can embrace, but I also am certain that their dance will also include opinions shamefully contradictory to reasonable interpretation of the constitution.
