Right now, nation needs more God

We were warned. Thomas Jefferson wrote, “If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them, will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.”

Sadly, we the people have been cheated out of our glorious and God-given heritage; led astray by an elitist few who, shamelessly and with reckless abandon, separated us from our heritage.

The nation that our grandfathers and fathers handed down to us, a rich, powerful, self-sufficient republic possessing a high standard of living, has been squandered. The wild love children of Woodstock and Haight-Ashbury — who seeded the notion that the Judeo-Christian attributes that made this country great were an anachronism and then watered that failed ideology with narcissism — have now thrust upon us all the harvest of a financial maelstrom and cultural chaos.

I fear that, as Scriptures have shown us time and again in the history of the nation of Israel, we will now bear witness to what happens to a prodigal nation that has foolishly chosen to ignore both biblical history and national history, and has been sold the false bill of goods that the state can save man. The state has succeeded in rising generations that falsely trust it too much, and God not at all. It will not be the state that saves us, but other nations if they choose to. Nations overseas will not eternally be willing to purchase our bonds or lend us capital, if they astutely observe our dollar being devalued. And if they choose to, at what cost will it be to what remains of our national sovereignty?

So much stock has been placed in education. I wonder how many cumulative years of education exist amongst those dastardly individuals who got us into this mess. Is it not self-evident that education without integrity is extremely dangerous to society as a whole? I easily trust individuals educated in eternal wisdom and truth over those who only know greed.
