You’d smile, too, if you got off without jail time

Two years after this piece was posted, a French court found Christine Lagarde guilty of negligence, but didn’t bother to impose a penalty. After all, anyone could lost half a billion euros.

Help Wanted: International Monetary Fund Honcho

As president of the International Monetary Fund, as the world’s highest-profile banker, Lagarde succeeded some guy who was a sexual predator: used to chase chamber maids all around his hotel room. All Chrissie did was let a crooked business magnate walk off with half a billion euros.

Ms. Lagarde and her predecessor are living proof that global government is a very bad idea. A sinner can do damage as the mayor of a small town. As head honcho of a world bank, she can do a lot more damage. We put limitations on government because if we don’t, the government winds up killing us.

“Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils,” the Lord told Isaiah: “for wherein is he to be accounted of?” (Isaiah 2:22)

The Horror of Sheer Godlessness

I wish I could remember which of you recommended this movie to us. Feel free to remind me.

The Circle is a 2017 techno-thriller starring Emma Watson (Harry Potter) and Tom Hanks (Far Left Crazy). It received an awful lot of bad reviews (somebody called it “the reason people hate Hollywood”), but I would call it a timely, worthwhile horror movie. One might even say an appalling horror movie.

Watson plays a young woman, nobody special, who lands a job with The Circle, the world’s biggest media corporation, a social media colossus reminiscent of Google, not to mention Scientology meets Amway–with the Tower of Babel and Revelation thrown in. Hanks, playing the lord high CEO of The Circle, sums up its philosophy succinctly: “Knowing things is good. But knowing everything is better!”

And so you have this hi-tech amoeba spreading out to engulf everybody, and we’re all cool with that because once the sum total of human knowledge and experience is gathered into one place and digitized, etc., “We will reach our full potential” (God forbid!) and be able to do everything and solve every single problem in the world. Indeed, there will be nothing too trivial for The Circle to sink its fangs into. There will be no more privacy: because having a personal experience not shared by everybody in the world is “selfish.”

But this is where Satan takes us, with his promise that “ye shall be as gods.” He always takes us there! A less deserving object of worship than ourselves should be, for anyone not totally off his chump, impossible to imagine.

It’s almost as hard to imagine how horrible it would be to live in a world from which privacy has literally been eradicated. The Circle has even succeeded in making membership mandatory and getting the government to require everyone to vote–a little fantasy which President *Batteries Not Included used to kick around.

The Circle abounds with babble about “democracy,” abundantly demonstrating why our country’s founders had a horror of it, and did everything in their power to give us a republic instead. Or you could read The Peloponnesian War, Thucydides’ eyewitness account of the political hysteria that led to the civic suicide of Athens.

Maybe we don’t want to be “connected” with everyone else in the world. Maybe we don’t want to know what Joe Blow in Brazzaville had for supper that night. Maybe we absolutely no way want a global government, or a global anything for that matter.

The last time we tried this, building the Tower of Babel, God came down and confounded our language. It was an act of mercy. He was protecting us from those who would devour us alive.

If He has to do it again, it won’t be pretty.

 

Freedom–under Our Rightful King

Jesus said, “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32).

This is why all the wannabe rulers of the world hate Him. It’s even why their pet academics teach defenseless college students that there’s no such thing as truth–there’s only “your truth” and “my truth,” and somehow the professor’s “truth” always wins.

Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is the only ruler whose right is absolute, God-given. As far back as David’s time, three thousand years ago, we are told as much in the Psalms. “The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool” (Ps. 110:1). God has promised to put all things under His Son, whose right it is.

Global government types don’t want to hear that! It’s their right, not His! Because they’re so much smarter than us, so much better connected, so much richer–and who is this crucified Jew, to intrude on their turf?

They’ll find out who He is, in God’s good time.

Christ Jesus is the truth, the Word of God made flesh. He has the power to make us free. We are the sheep of His pasture: to the Godless rulers, we are only prey.

Our King is righteous and loving. The Son and the Father are one. God has the power to make His enemies His footstool, and He will do it.

This is the only world government authorized by God. It’s the only one that will be permitted. The Antichrist will set up something that looks like it’s just about there, but it will never get there. He will come close to wiping out liberty forever–but then it’s into the lake of fire with him.

The Lord has spoken it.

 

‘U.N. Tomfools at it Again’ (2016)

When you’re finished posing for Forbes, your reparations check is ready

Do you think you should be punished for something you didn’t do, something that was done several generations before you were born, before your family had even come to this country?

What! You don’t believe in Reparations???

U.N. Tomfools at It Again

The United Nations thinks we Americans, those of us who can’t prove we’re black,  ought to be forced to pay “reparations” to black Americans, for slavery that came to an end in America 154 years ago.

I’m home free, though, and you can be, too. Just do as I have done, and self-identify as a person of African descent. Anyone who would deny it is obviously a racist. Hey, I’m not gonna pay reparations to myself! And neither should any of you. Just take refuge in the dodge that leftids themselves have invented, and skate right over this.

Judge Tosses Kids’ Climate Change Lawsuit

If the tantrum doesn’t work, try a lawsuit.

You know they’re getting desperate when they recruit children to be their spokesmen.

Really–when you were seven or eleven years old, how often did it occur to you to sue the government over public policy? Uh… never? You would’ve needed some adult to put you up to it?

A federal judge in Philadelphia has thrown out a lawsuit filed in 2017 by two little boys, then aged seven and eleven, along with an “environmental group,” the Clean Air Council–like there’s anybody out there who wants dirty air–choosing not to waste time and money on their claim that they have a “right” to “a life-sustaining climate system” (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-climatechange-lawsuit/u-s-judge-dismisses-boys-lawsuit-against-trump-climate-rollbacks-idUSKCN1Q92SA).

The Climbit Change wackos have no shame. The judge also ruled the kiddies had no standing to sue the federal government, couldn’t prove their asthma was Donald Trump’s fault for not fighting the cosmos, and that he, the judge, had no authority to dictate policy to the executive branch of the government. Other than that, it was a great lawsuit.

Do you believe any government has the power to control and customize the vast natural forces that determine the various climates of the earth? There is no “global climate,” only a host of regional and local climates.

No–what the government does have the power to do is to screw up our lives by arbitrary and dictatorial actions: you know, like they’ve done in Venezuela.

Climate change/global warming/whatever is the Far Left’s best shot at imposing some kind of all-powerful global government on the nations of the world, with themselves in charge of it. It is the most enormous hoax in human history, totally dishonest, without merit. They’re furious because President Donald Trump ain’t buyin’ it.

And now they’re manipulating children. What could be more shameful? What could be more despicable?

We’ll probably find out at next year’s Democrat Convention.

Now Your iPhone Is Spying on You

Not for me, thank you

Most of you will understand this better than I can, but suffice it to say an “Apple FaceTime bug lets others spy on you” and “lets users secretly listen in through someone else’s iPhone when a call is placed–even though the recipient hasn’t picked up the call” (https://www.ajc.com/business/personal-finance/apple-facetime-bug-lets-others-spy-you/UVNEMRdFH8i7hTjqVEEp1K/).

My phone hangs on the wall and only handles phone calls.

Apple had to disable GroupFaceTime on Monday night and is working to fix the problem. Until it does, “the best defense” is to turn it off–a complicated procedure which I couldn’t do to save my life.

I wouldn’t have a job without our high technology, but really–is there no such thing as too much technology? I think there is. Do we truly have to have all these gadgets spying on us? Is that really where we want to be?

There are people out there who want to set up a global government with themselves in charge of it. They will use our technology to advance their enterprise. These are not nice people, these are not angels or saints or sages. We need to defend ourselves from them.

Psalm 2 springs to mind: “Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against His anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

“He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh; the Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall He speak unto them in His wrath, and vex them in His sore displeasure.”

I wonder if He’s going to stop laughing soon.

Patriarch: Antichrist Will Control Us through Our Gadgets

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Humanity is in danger of “falling into slavery” to smartphones, the Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church told The Moscow Times (https://themoscowtimes.com/news/russian-patriarch-warns-antichrist-will-control-humans-through-gadgets-64060).

Laugh him off if you want, but Patriarch Kiril makes sense. The biggest threat, he explained, is that the collection of vast amounts of user data will lead to “control” from one central point.

They’re already keeping track of what we look at on the Internet. You’re curious about what your next-door neighbor paid for her hot tub, so you look it up–and next thing you know, everywhere you go, an ad for hot tubs waits for you.

What if some authoritarian agency–as long as we’re talking about Antichrist, let’s call it a global government–could know everything you read or view or email or post on any blog? They’d be making a list and checking it twice, so they can find out who’s naughty or nice… and deal with them accordingly.

We don’t want a global government. And we don’t like that whole data collection business. Put ’em together and you’ve got trouble.

A Dynamic of History: the Devourer

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Genghis Khan’s piece of the world

The outward appearance of the world is always changing, but the dynamics of history never change.

One of those dynamics is this: there’s always somebody who wants to rule the world, a devourer of nations.

Pyrrhus wanted to conquer all the countries around the Mediterranean. He couldn’t have told you why. A woman killed him with a piece of a millstone: just like what happened to Ahimelech in Judges 9:53.

Alexander the Great conquered nations because he thought he was a god. Julius Caesar and his successors trampled other nations as their way of getting ahead in Roman politics.

Genghis Khan grabbed more of the earth’s surface than anyone; and God alone knows why.

Adolph Hitler tried to engulf Europe. His own ambition killed him.

Today there is no individual, no single nation, that’s out to conquer the world. But the dynamic of history remains. The new devourers of nations are globalists, consortia, an international gaggle of self-anointed big shots. Instead of Roman legions, they’ve got legions of lawyers. Instead of Panzer divisions, they’ve got waves and waves of “migrants.”

But it’s the same old thing, a yen to rule the world. The methodology has changed, but the motivation stays the same. Control everything and be as gods.

He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh; the LORD shall have them in derision… (Psalm 2: 4)

When He stops laughing, then they will learn who is God and who is not.

UN Honcho: Human Race Doomed, Unless–

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

See the source image

I know, it reads like a satire. But I can’t help it if liberals say things that satirize themselves.

Today’s self-satire is provided by a Ms. Espinosa, president of the United Nations General Assembly: who, at a UN Climbit Change conference currently being held in Poland (I thought the Poles had more sense than that), warns us that the whole human race is “in danger of disappearing” if Climbit Change is “allowed to progress at its current rate” (https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2018/12/03/u-n-official-issues-warning-mankind-in-danger-of-disappearing/).

Allowed? Did she just say “allowed”? Maybe we should’ve made the climate go stand in a corner.

Stop me if you’ve heard this before. We’re all gonna die unless we give government fantastic new powers to interfere with our lives, blah-blah. In the words of Ms. Espinosa, “We require deep transformations of our economies and societies” to avoid total catastrophe. Who thinks those “deep transformations” would result in more freedom instead of less, and a higher standard of living?

With or without the UN’s permission, “climate” is always changing. That’s because the earth is a living planet in a complicated universe. The UN insists human activity is responsible for “climate change.” Uh, hey–could we get rid of that label? We have lots and lots of different climates scattered all over the world, That’s why Mongolia is not like Oregon. Could we stop talking about some global “climate” that doesn’t exist?

Anyhow, gigantic and very poorly-understood natural forces–the sun’s output, for instance–control what happens to the various climates on the earth. Government can’t stop, control, or manipulate these forces. The best we can ever hope to do is to roll with the punches.

But of course if you’re a non-Christian humanist doofus, you don’t believe in God, you don’t believe He is sovereign over His whole creation, you’re sure everything happens by merest chance unless some all-powerful State advised by all-wise Science controls it, etc., etc.

What bunk.

‘Acting Guilty’ (2014)

Climbit Change alarmists were acting guilty four years ago, and they’re still acting guilty today. Saving The Planet is just too good an excuse for acquiring and wielding absolute power–the straw to stir global government’s drink.

https://leeduigon.com/2014/05/02/acting-guilty/

I’ll always remember how joyful I was when, literally within 60 seconds of his inauguration, President Trump’s administration removed all references to Global Warming from his White House website.

Oh–and by 2015 New York City was supposed to have the climate of Daytona Beach, Florida. Al Gore said so.
