[[Media Madness]] is herding the mind of the masses over a cliff of foolishness. Why can't people determine the truth? Why are they so willing to accept false narratives in the media or even flat out "fake news"?


The way of "destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity" But  "The way of the LORD is strength to the upright:" <Ref>[[Proverbs 10]]:29</Ref>  "For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness."<Ref> 1 Corinthians 3:19</Ref>


The media has tremendous power over the mind of the people. They are often bias or even lie outright and many people cannot see the deception. Even when they are exposed and the truth exposes their prejudice and deceit the people often do not turn from the deception choosing rather to believe the lie. Why?

Why is Australia burning? Is it global warming, arsonists, or something else? If you want to know the true reason should you ask Jennifer Aniston  or [https://jennifermarohasy.com/2020/01/it-has-been-hotter-fires-have-burnt-larger-areas/ Jennifer Marohasy]]]?
 
Are the fires ''unprecedented'' in scale or intensity?
 
Fires in 2009, 173 lives were lost.
 
In 1939 during the Black Friday fire 2 million hectares burnt.
 
In 1974, 117 million hectares of land was burnt in wildfires in central Australia. During the summer between 1974 and 1975, Australia experienced its worst bushfire season in 30 years.
About 15 percent of Australia’s physical landmass sustained extensive fire damage.
 
In the thirty years leading up to the 1970s, available temperature recordings suggested that there was a cooling trend. As a result some scientists suggested that the current inter-glacial period could rapidly draw to a close, which might result in the Earth plunging into a new ice age over the next few centuries.
 
This 117 million hectares burn in Australia was at the height of the Ice Age predictions and global cooling being predicted by expert climatologists during the 1970s after a 30 year global cooling during a major industrial revolution during and after the World War II.
 
Is there a drought caused by global warming?
 
In June Professor Andy Pitman Director of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate System Science, and as a Lead Author for the IPCC quietly dropped a bomb:
 
<blockquote>
“…as far as the climate scientists know there is no link between climate change and drought.”</blockquote>
 
He’s admitting there’s never been a scientific basis for the endless climate drought scares? He went on to say that in Australia, droughts are not increasing, and there’s no drying trend in one hundred years of data. He’s also admitting the models can’t predict extremes in rain either.
 
Why aren't their headlines telling you that global warming is not causing this?
 
Why does the government want your money in "cap and trade schemes" in the hope of stopping droughts if there are none due to global warming?
 
'''Face the truth.''' They just want your money. The more they get the more they can skim off for themselves or buy power and influence.
 
Panic and fear sell so journalists pander to your fears and foolishness.
 
We now know tropical cyclones of all types (hurricanes, typhoons etc) are caused/created by the Solar Wind. 
'''Aussie’s Firestorms Come After Decades Of Bad Forestry, Green Policies'''
Christine Finlay has been sounding the alarm on bushfires in Australia for more than a decade... Dr Christine Finlay  For 20 years became a whistle-blower after plotting bushfires between 1881 and 1981 on a graph which showed marked increase in the size and frequency of fires after 1919 when bushfire-reduction operations increasingly moved away from traditional indigenous practices such as low-­intensity cool burning.
 
The cause is the bad policies of arrogant “government experts” and apathy among the people who do not take responsibility to protect themselves from those policies.
 
'''Firestorm crisis is caused by:'''
: 1. Catastrophic fuel loads accumulated since the 1920s, particularly in national parks.
: 2. Bushfire service operations geared to allow potentially dangerous fires to build in extreme weather.
 
Christine Finlay PhD- Smokescreen: Firestorms are preventable and there is a huge amount of evidence that semi-naked Aborigines managed and still manage bushfires superbly without boots, trucks or even a box of matches.  <Br>

== Arson ==
 
Police in Australia has arrested 200 people or starting fire.
They charged two dozen people they say deliberately lit blazes during the wildfire season that has so far killed at least 18 people, destroyed thousands of homes and ravaged over 6 million acres of land.
 
It is estimated that around 85 percent of the fires are started by humans, either by accident or arson.<Ref>One 19 year old volunteer "A firefighter craving stimulation or activity may start a fire before reporting for duty. There are cases of firefighters who have started a fire, reported it and attended the fire with their unit in the hope of being seen as the hero who saves the community."
“Older men are also prone to lighting fires,” she said. “They often have a history of child abuse and neglect. They probably dropped out of school at a very early age, living on the edge of society, likely to be unemployed, not engaged in the community. “In most cases, they don’t intend to cause this chaos, they might just like to make a fuss,” she added.</Ref>
 
But liberals, like Siobhan Ball,<Ref>Siobhan Ball is an archivist and historian turned writer. You can see her other nonsense here: https://siobhanball.contently.com/</Ref> who cling to the global warming panic narrative state "Climate deniers are obsessed with arson as the cause of the Australia fires."
 
She continues “Essentially, arsonists are a scapegoat for conservatives to point to instead of talking about the impact of climate change on Australia’s bush fires. And climate change denialists are latching onto the news hard, using it as a way to shoot down any discussion of climate change, since it doesn’t fit their preferred world narrative."
 
She continues to promote here PC narrative. “Climate scientists say that this summer is only a preview of what is to come and that bush fire season will only get worse each year unless climate change is addressed."
 
 
== False Cooling of the past ==
 
Changes in technology and adjustments of historical temperatures by the Bureau of Meteorology has made "the present seem warmer" says climate scientist and author Jennifer Marohasy.
 
Data collecting data values are then promoted by the United Nations. Hollywood superstars like Jennifer Aniston, Bette Midler and Bernie Sanders tweet misguided opinion back to the Australian Prime Minister. They have no idea of the extent of their ignorance.
 
"[M]any publications now claiming the world is on the brink of a global warming disaster said the same about an impending ice age – just 30 years ago. Several major ones, including The New York Times, Time magazine and Newsweek, have reported on three or even four different climate shifts since 1895." (Fire and Ice)

Dr. Patrick Moore takes issue with NGOs over climate, genetically modified organisms and the "truth" about carbon.
 
He says we were literally running out of carbon before we started to pump it back into the atmosphere. “CO2 has been declining to where it is getting close to the end of plant life, and in another 1.8 million years, life would begin to die on planet Earth for lack of CO2.”
 
According to Moore, it is life itself that has been consuming carbon and storing it in carbonaceous rocks. He goes on to say, “Billions of tons of carbonaceous rock represent carbon dioxide pulled out of the atmosphere, and because the Earth has cooled over the millennia, nature is no longer putting CO2 into the atmosphere to offset this.”

<blockquote>"Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the '''[[weightier matters]]''' of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. 24  Ye '''blind guides''', which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel. 25  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess." Matthew 23:23 </blockquote>
 
The [[Pharisees]] were running much of the government but were called "blind guides". The Apostles even complained when the Pharisees were offended by what Jesus said. But He said:
 
<blockquote>"Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch." Matthew 15:14 </blockquote>
 
While we can show you where the media is wrong and correct their mistakes that will not solve the real problem because of the People:
 
<blockquote>"Who hath ears to hear, let him hear... 15  For this people’s heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. 16  But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear." Matthew 13:9... 16
</blockquote>
 
But alas many:
 
<blockquote>"Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?" Mark 8:18</blockquote>
 
How do you get eyes to see and ears to hear?
 
You have to [[repent]] and [[seek]] the [[kingdom of God]] and his [[righteousness]], [[forgive|forgiving]] and [[charity|giving]] and obeying what He [[commanded]].
 
That is why we are often telling you what that looks like so you can check yourself. Those who are willing to listen will listen but only those who are willing to do, to act will truly hear. It is apart of the process to do as Christ said.
 
<blockquote>"The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom." Proverbs 10:21 </blockquote>
 
Those who do not want to do will also soon not hear because he has no heart that will beat in the doing of what is righteous.
 
<blockquote>"Before is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it?" Proverbs 10:23 </blockquote>
 
The fool will not listen to reason but will not act upon it, making excuses until the day of his own destruction.
 
<blockquote>"The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of knowledge: [but] fools despise wisdom and instruction." Proverbs 1:7 </blockquote>
 
We lead with the basics which Christ preached including all the Doctrines of Jesus sparing none. But as to the details of the [[mysteries]] of the kingdom we shall not cast pearls to the swine who returns to [[the mire]].
 
<blockquote>"Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words." Proverbs 23:9  </blockquote>
 
To understand the world we must search our own souls and heart and hidden secrets of our own heart. This can only be done as we walk in [[forgive]]ness and [[service]] to those we love and those we do not know, even our enemies.
 
<blockquote>"I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness:" [[Ecclesiastes 7]]:25 </blockquote>

Latest revision as of 21:09, 6 October 2023

Covington boys were accused, defamed, threatened because the media chose to suppress the truth for financial and political agenda. Because they do not love and respect the truth they were willing to promote an absolutely false narrative. This is no longer a rare event but has become far to common in the world today.
Why do the people keep falling for their bias?
Is this Media malpractice effecting crowd psychology and the very morality and structure of society and thinking of the people?
Is the media is guilty of hate speech, stirring up people?
Are the new historians like those of the 1619 Project (hear audio) and men like Howard Zinn fanning the fire of resentment and chaos.
Are these lies about a more sinister plot of deception and betrayal leading the masses into The Psychology of Totalitarianism?
If the monster is hate we should know "He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you." Friedrich Nietzsche.

Media Madness

Media Madness is herding the mind of the masses over a cliff of foolishness toward destruction. Why do people find it difficult to determine the truth?

Do the seeds of foolishness cause a mass formation of a strong delusion.

Why are people so willing to accept false narratives in the media or even flat out "fake news"?


The way of "destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity" But "The way of the LORD is strength to the upright:" [1] "For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness."[2]

The media has tremendous power over the mind of the people. They are often bias or even lie outright and many people cannot see the deception. Even when they are exposed and the truth exposes their prejudice and deceit the people often do not turn from the deception choosing rather to believe the lie.


Why

We have seen in the media reporting of the Covington boys the people were mislead and deceived and sowed discord. The same is true of the Fire down under and the media coverage of the Coronavirus, and Shutdown that devastated the economy and the lives of millions of people, This was followed by sensational misreporting the whole truth about the death of George Floyd. This media malpractice has fostered riots that have killed many more innocent people and caused millions of dollars and damages. The media has been totally irresponsible. If we have an understanding of crowd psychology we may develop some immunity to their ill effects.


"Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth." Proverbs 17:24

What does it mean that the "eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth"?

It means that his ability to see clearly has been affected because he is looking in the wrong direction. He is being distracted, lead by others to look in all the wrong places.

  • "If people in the media cannot decide whether they are in the business of reporting news or manufacturing propaganda, it is all the more important that the public understand that difference, and choose their news sources accordingly." Thomas Sowell

The truth

We must embrace the truth about ourselves to see the lies of others. We must be willing to know the whole truth and provide for it.

The truth is the people have been led by the blind because they have accepted a strong delusion because the want to believe legal charity is acceptable to God.

We were warned by Jesus[3], the apostles and all the prophets[4] that legal charity[5] provided by men who exercise authority[6] was and is the covetous practices which is idolatry.[7]

After a hundred years of believing this lie the masses have degenerated until they are all ruled by media madness and the mentions of politics.

Media Madness is altering society, spreading hate and costing lives?
What did the media not say about Coronavirus?
Why the Shutdown, the Riots and
the destruction Statues are not caused by
Race but by Legal charity which is the
covetous practices that makes people merchandise and
curse children degenerating and divides us into
Perfect savages because like the Corban of the Pharisees
it makes the word of God to none effect.
George Floyd died. Should the media call it murder?
Drowned by Hate
---Who killed Oscar Alberto Martinez Ramirez?
Critical theory vs Critical thinking

    Luke 21:34 "And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and [so] that day come upon you unawares. 35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth."

  4. ↑ Covet not
    Exodus 20:17 "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that [is] thy neighbour’s."
    Deuteronomy 5:21 "Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour’s wife, neither shalt thou covet thy neighbour’s house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any [thing] that [is] thy neighbour’s."

    Romans 7:7 "What shall we say then? [Is] the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet."
    Romans 13:9 "For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if [there be] any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."
    1 Corinthians 5:10 "Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. 11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat."
    1 Corinthians 6:10 "Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God." See Not inherit the kingdom
    Ephesians 5:5 "For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God." See Not inherit the kingdom
    2 Timothy 3:2 "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.
    2 Peter 2:3 "And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not."
    2 Peter 2:14 "Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:"
    Colossians 3:5 "Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:"
  5. ↑ Bread of oppression
    Matthew 16:6 "Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees... 11 How is it that ye do not understand that I spake [it] not to you concerning daily bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees? 12 Then understood they how that he bade [them] not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
    Mark 8:15 "And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and [of] the leaven of Herod."
    Matthew 16:11 "How is it that ye do not understand that I spake [it] not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?"
    Mark 8:15 "And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod."
    Luke 12:1 "In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy."
    Jesus and John the Baptist opposed the leaven of Herod, the Pharisees and of the Sadducees because they misinterpreted the way of Moses and the LORD. They collected the resources for their tables of welfare, their social safety net of free bread and care for the needy of society through forced offerings. Peter, Paul, David, and the prophets have been warned us that such covetous practices were setting a snare and a trap. Herod and the Pharisees had set up a system of legal charity rather than fervent charity which always makes the word of God to none effect so that Christ would say the kingdom of God shall be taken from them and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits. We should know that their system "degenerates" the "masses" until they become "perfect savages". Legal charity and its benefits and dainties provided through men who exercise authority are the wages of unrighteousness and the covetous practices that makes men merchandise and will curse children.
  6. ↑ Not exercise authority
    Matthew 20:25 "But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. But it shall not be so among you:..."
    Mark 10:42 "But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them. But so shall it not be among you:..."
    Luke 22:25 "And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. But ye [shall] not [be] so:..."
  7. ↑ Covetousness is idolatry
    Colossians 3:5 "Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6 For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:"
    Ephesians 5:5 "For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God."
    1 Corinthians 5:10 "Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. 11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat."
