God originally pleaded with the people NOT to choose a King to rule over them. He urged them to stay with the structure HE had provided them--that of judges in a righteous Kingdom. But, oh no, they had to be doing what everyone else around them was doing--choosing kings. So God gave them what they wanted. Such is a universal truth from God--agency. Every choice has consequences. God needs us to learn from these choices and these consequences. WE need to learn as well. There is a better way. Choose the higher road.

WOW! I just spoke of this very chapter today concerning government. But here are the verses you are alluding to. A most interesting book is First Samuel. Samuel delivered this message to the people, but they wanted a king anyway.

1 Samuel 8: 10 Samuel told all the words of the Lord to the people who were asking him for a king. 11 He said, “This is what the king who will reign over you will claim as his rights: He will take your sons and make them serve with his chariots and horses, and they will run in front of his chariots. 12 Some he will assign to be commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and others to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and still others to make weapons of war and equipment for his chariots. 13 He will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers. 14 He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive groves and give them to his attendants. 15 He will take a tenth of your grain and of your vintage and give it to his officials and attendants. 16 Your male and female servants and the best of your cattle[c] and donkeys he will take for his own use. 17 He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his slaves. 18 When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, but the Lord will not answer you in that day.”

George Washington was such a man who was able to turn away from total control twice. Once when the Congress fled and he became the supreme commander. Actually a dictator, he gave it back as quickly as possible. Then when they wanted to actually make him king, which he said NEVER speak of again.

We could sure use another Washington...

Write-in votes like 1860? I like Rand Paul and I like his dad Ron. If Rand was up for it, I could see a push for him.

I also like Rand and Ron Paul. Ron sure got screwed by Romney at the RNC convention in Tampa, losing his delegates that posed no threat to his highness Romney and Lyin Ryan.

In retrospect i'm glad they Lost to Obamy.... It lead to Trump.

Speaking of Trump and Rand; Trump is destined for the WH and Rand is needed in the Senate. It takes Teamwork and that's how I see their positions for 2025.

What thought do you give to Trump's Freemason ties and his continued support for the jabs and claims that it 'saved millions'? I'm in the 'fool me once, shame on you' camp right now and doing my best to not be fooled again.

Trump has never and will never speak out against the bioweapon jabs he claims to be the father of it - very disgusting and concerning because he has a HUGE financial interest in BIG PHARMA - it is all about the money. Another issue that disgusts me is him claiming he does not need to ask for forgiveness because he does nothing wrong, how arrogant to think you are sinless perfection - Gods word says WE ALL HAVE SINNED AND FALLEN SHORT - We need to pray, fast and seek the Lord on who HE wants in office - Trump and Biden are not it.

Well, God is in control. Evil has been planning for millennia. A 3D chess game is at hand and I can’t even play chess much less come up with the myriad of combinations of the situation we find ourselves in. In the Bible many catastrophes occurred with outcomes I didn’t expect. The Ark of the covenant was stolen, much to the chagrin of the enemies.

Jesus was killed, a success for the Jews and Satan - Not! St. Paul warns us to not be fooled. But also shares:

“We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed . . . we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you to himself.”

2 Corinthians 4:8,9,14

Mankind is prone to "Secret Societies" for many reasons, better or worse, and Evil does exist, as well as good. Trump is just a Man, with the foibles we all have to a greater or lesser degree.

Making mistakes is part of living, and we learn from mistakes probably more than from successes.

So.... It seems to me, that Trump had a mostly successful 4 years, under constant attack. Much better than another corrupt Clinton regime with Hilliary, and another Obama regime with Biden.

So choose. Simple enough. then Deal with Your/Our Choices. I don't expect you to be "100% perfect" either. So no need for for even having a "concept" of "fooled again", that's just another form of regret, and a waste of time.

All the best

Thanks for the reply. Thought provoking. I’m wondering, though, and simply wondering not asking out of malice, but I can’t think of one secret society whose negatives don’t outweigh their positives. I can think of a private philanthropist that gave away fortunes and lived humbly, but no secret societies that aren’t out to benefit themselves through their connections even if they appear to give to the greater good. I can find nothing more erosive to the goodness in a man than the arrogance that is fostered by being in a secret society. They are exclusionary and detrimental to creating harmony among people and society. Knowledge is power and secret societies keep their knowledge to themselves for power. Nope, my simple logic can’t find a good reason for them.

I believe in Jesus, I’m not falling from the gospel of His Grace to guide me and keep me in His righteousness. Deuteronomy is from the Old Testament and is about the law of Moses which we, as gentiles, are not obligated to follow. We as gentiles are simply meant to believe in and follow the King appointed by God - Jesus. Jesus is my King not any power of this world.

Herein lay the problem that brings us to the curses Marcel wrote about from the scriptures and you speak of in the “jabs”. Not only are there many less believers, many of those who do believe, believe in something that is to death, which is the law of Moses and by which is a fall from Grace.

Wait, so Martinelli is now the savior / santo of Panama? He's Mulino's boy who is holed up in the Nicaraguan embassy trying to stay out of jail for being almost as corrupt as Noriega. But honestly has there ever been a non-corrupt leader in Panama's history? Okay, so Mulino is looking to make a "deal" with the Gringos so the kleptocrats running Panama City banks can continue as the money center for cartel money between the heart of the Americas, China and pretty much anyone else who wants to hide money, run drugs, bootleg weapons... If he closes the border, like Trump did in 2020, will you consider Mulino a hero and the Trumpster still a bum? You can hate DJT to the end of time for Operation Warp Speed--he wears that failure around his neck--but denying he ran on immigration, built the wall (and technologies) against every manner of lawfare, and dropped illegal crossing almost to nil thanks to Remain in Mexico...well, that is some serious rewriting of history. I recall that you spent a lot of time outside the US during his presidency reporting on the good fight in Hong Kong and beyond, so maybe you didn't have time to truly appreciate the economy and country he rebuilt by 2019. No one that I know in the MAGA Movement thinks he is a saint. He is the vessel of our discontent and pretty much all we have right now who can withstand the constant onslaught. But frankly most Americans have walked away from politics a long time ago and are preparing heavily for more plagues, martial law, civil war, WWIII.

I had to look this up but the explanation for my own clarity I read was as follows:

Keep on following the rebellious Elohim of the nations. They know their end

"God has taken his place in the divine council;

in the midst of the gods he holds judgment:

“How long will you judge unjustly

and show partiality to the wicked? Selah...

I said, “You are gods,

sons of the Most High, all of you;

nevertheless, like men you shall die,

and fall like any prince.”

Arise, O God, judge the earth;

for you shall inherit all the nations!"

Your pal left out the part that everyone ignores. LOOK AROUND -America is CURSED.

Deuteronomy 28.

But it shall come about, if you do not obey the Lord your God, to observe to do all His commandments and His statutes with which I charge you today, that all these curses will come upon you and overtake you:

16 “Cursed shall you be in the city, and cursed shall you be in the [p]country.

17 “Cursed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl.

18 “Cursed shall be the offspring of your body and the produce of your ground, the increase of your herd and the young of your flock.

19 “Cursed shall you be when you come in, and cursed shall you be when you go out.

20 “The Lord will send upon you curses, confusion, and rebuke, in all you undertake to do, until you are destroyed and until you perish quickly, on account of the evil of your deeds, because you have forsaken Me. 21 The Lord will make the pestilence (China Virus, Ebola 2.0) cling to you until He has consumed you from the land where you are entering to possess it. 22 The Lord will smite you with consumption and with fever and with inflammation and with fiery heat and with [u]the sword and with blight and with mildew, and they will pursue you until you perish. 23 The heaven which is over your head shall be bronze, and the earth which is under you, iron. 24 The Lord will make the rain of your land powder and dust; from heaven it shall come down on you until you are destroyed.

*1 Corinthians* 10 v29.

"Trust Impossible"

Thank you Michael Yon, Sir!- for Scripture- deep introspection. I read all the comments, and motivated me to share a simple paradigm that came naturally one day 1988 at a huge conference table, top floor of our GC/Ownner highrise office building looking over Reagan Airport, then years later I actually found it in Scripture.

I reacted to a false statement from our company chief draftsman trying to manipulate our most honored customer. I was customer jobsite service, solved all issues visiting $30-$50M Office Structures every day. I was the field services Architectural Precast construction coordinator.

"I don't get out of bed for another man's approval"! I defended "the customer"! Truth!

*Independent thinking based on non-negotiable Absolute Truth. (Discernment)

I Trust Jesus, (Impossible), Jesus helped me "know" and Trust Our Holy Father- *His Wisdom*, and The Holy Spirit born in me.

♡ 10 v29: Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man's conscience?

30: For if by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?

31: Weather therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

32: Give none offence, neither the Jew, nor the Gentiles, nor to the church of God.

33: Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of many, that they be saved.

What' keeps me(us) alive and free?

♡ my Conscience Belongs To God!

*Serve God - Protect God's Creation, find authority in that.

* I TRUST IMPOSSIBLE - *Jesus!

*"you will be hated for My Namesake".

* Let us judge "behavior" - Souls are not my/our responsibility, authority, or interest. (I really don't care! -to save evil, ignorance, arrogance, selfish, or criminals from ThemSelves)

......Jews- Gentiles---- or Satanist!

(my sin- I don't pray for Criminal Minds, demon possesed, or Satanists)

*Let us Serve - Let us Protect God's Creation

A Privilege- an Honor.

♡ Our lives belong to the God

Who Sent us, - "for these days".

Made us- Divine Design.

Loves us Unconditionally - by His Blood & our Free Will to choose.

*FEAR NOT* Jesus said 366 times - KJV- A "Commandment"- Trust Impossible- for These Days!-- "NP"! LOL

No Suurender - our Duty to Heaven

Gratitude - to Heaven

Eternity - The Promise from Heaven

♡ Matthew 24: "lovers of themselves"/as in the days of Noah"

Point? I meet Clergy and Veterans. Clueless - Selfish - Godless. Complacent! Apathetic! *PRIDE before The Fall.

The last stage when a nation, an empire, an individual "collapses"!

American Pandemic Narcissism is killing this nation. ("never tell a Narcissist NO"- L&O Olivia)

"I'm too smart to worry what I don't know"

"Im too Holy to warn others" or "fret evil"!

"I'm a Victim" - *Entitled to B urn L oot M urder & Pout !

" I got "mine" "my $tock$ are up"!

* I'm military, you ain't, what do you know about war, duty, brotherhood, or adversity"?

> What about our neighbors, fellow citizens, the innocent, disabled, abandoned- alone, the children under the feet of these blood lust Satanists, every- all day?

> That's why God Made us- Sent us - Gave us Free Will:

To give our Lives, our Fortunes, and our Sacred Honor to God, Family, & Country. (NP-LOL)

> A really great Reason- Purpose & Meaning, to "Fear Not "---- Born Free! ---- Live Free!

🇺🇸 I WILL DIE FREE 🙏

As Impossible our survival looks, we can Trust Impossible!

Jesus defeated Impossible!

Jesus defeated death!

Glad you recognize your sin. I struggle with my desire for revenge against the evil I read about that’s continuing to occur. BUT, Jesus commands us to love our enemies because God loves all souls. But, like Pharoah, that doesn’t mean they have a chance in receiving the Holy Spirit.

We are living in the end times, but they could continue for centuries.

The real truth here is that while a constitutional democracy can work, it can only work if the constitution is inviolate, the branches actually check the others power, the representatives actually represent the wishes of their constituents, and the constituents act like citizens instead of children asking for permission to remain free.

If any of those fail, the system devolves, and so here we are.

In regards to the constitutions power there are no operating instructions on how to read the intent or scope, or punish those who intentionally try and usurp it, this is a real problem.

The framers may have never considered that there would be much mis-alignment in that regard, or that if there was that the people would rise up. They were wrong on both counts.

They didn't take into account the boiling frog problem, or the moral devolution that pumping bread-and circuses out to the masses brings.

Our so called "Representative" government basically transfers the power of millions into the hands a of few, which then abuse it, use to for self gain etc. It's far harder to corrupt 200+ million voters and get them to agree to rob and murder themselves than it is to coerce by whatever means the few hundred we ceded our power to every 2/4/6 years.

The branches that are supposed to check and balance each other now collude with each other implicitly, and sometimes explicitly, the "don't rock the boat too much" CYA doctrine is 100% real, and all three branches are happy with the status quo as long as they are not personally harmed.

Human nature will ensure any process will devolve and be corrupted over time, it's just inevitable, which is why the founders tried to guard against it, I won't say they didn't have any clue about that potential, but they could have made the safe guards much, much harder to breach.
