I will NEVER, EVER question again how the NAZI’s came to power, I watched their tactics being used full on by the governments of countless “free democracies”.

I have ZERO faith, that mankind, in large groups will ever respect the individual. Too many are cowards and easily swayed by fear mongering.

[US_MilitaryRules]

It turned me into a “PUREBLOOD”!

[JudyinCanada]

Yup! What you said. Add to it...it made me finally see how Hitler “did it”. I always wondered how people could have been so duped as to go along with Hitler, then I saw it happen before my eyes.

[DoodleBob]

People fly off the handle so fast now, always ready to argue or fight.

This seemed to start around Spring 2021. I saw it first at work (even on Webex etc it was palpable) then at cash registers.

I asked two GenZ cashiers at a grocery store "is it me or is everyone cray-cray?" Their happy young faces both turned serious and they replied in unison "oh yea." They proceeded to detail customers who got peeved over things like a $0.15 coupon not being authorized (the customer didn't meet the requirement).

The demonization of the unvaxxed made it worse. The cheering of people who "died suddenly" is also a collateral effect.

The red and blue ants keep at each other. The Jar-Shakers, laughing, spread their wings.

As did “they”.

Something I said at the very beginning of all of this, is that the WEF types, tinpot governors, “academics” who write white papers that eventually make their way towards lawmakers and unelected bureaucrats with regulatory power we paying close attention, an were taking very detailed notes. A great deal was learned about normal people, and how they react.

[I saw how easy it was to control people with fear.]

Yep. And so I post this yet again. For it was a foreshadowing of things to come.

THE FOLLOWING IS SOMETHING SAVED FOR MULTIPLE POSTINGS

Global.........basically, THE ENTIRE WORLD (for all intents and purposes)

Covid-19⁽⁸⁴⁾ ---> Covid-19⁽⁸⁴⁾ is not the Mark of the Beast.

(I'm just saying that for the thread)

BUT:

The parallels are downright eerie.

A clear warning of things to come.

Covid-19 came as a snare. Now it's not THE snare.

But still, it came as a snare. UPON THE ENTIRE WORLD.

A snare that came upon the entire world and institutionalized Global tyranny almost overnight.

Determining if you can travel, BUY and in some cases SELL.

Or if you can even work a job.

Tyranny upon tyranny.

The parallels are just too eerie and too spot-on.

This is a very clear foreshadowing of Revelation chapter 13 and the sheep are blind to it.

I now realize that we truly are at war with, not just other people, but with principalities....ie a war against evil.

I now realize that the Democrats represent that evil in this country currently, but it is also world-wide and represented by other “humans” that intend to rule over everyone and everything.

I know now that you can’t trust what ‘any’ government agency says or does, nor can you trust the medical industry ghouls to have my best interests at heart. Quite the opposite.

I also now realize that most of my neighbors are clueless sheep that can’t be counted on when TSHTF. Can’t count on government or anyone else for help, IOW. We’re on our own from here on, literally.

I now am grateful to Obama for inspiring us to ‘arm up’ so many years ago....because now we’re really going to need to be armed up. We are witnessing the intentional collapse of a society and they’ve been planning, war-gaming and scheming it for decades.

Welcome to New Amerikka.

It made me realize who the enemy was (the state) and who the collaborators/morons are (the people still wearing masks after the order was lifted and who still walk among us).

[newzjunkey]

It’s amazing no one has yet mentioned what Covid showed us about the vulnerability of the supply chain and risk of outsourcing to China. It showed us there is tremendous capacity for evil, for fascism, peddling fear and exploitation of a crisis for power and profit.

We only need to see how China continues to stone wall on the origins of Covid, how Fauci lied about masks, how the federal government can control the border and immigration but chooses not to, how high risk Democratic urban living is… I could go on and on. Nothing in recent history has drawn the stark contrast between Left and Right, fascism vs freedom, than the Covid crisis.

The lessons of Covid will be forgotten faster than the lessons of 9/11.

“The red and blue ants keep at each other. The Jar-Shakers, laughing, spread their wings.”

The Jar Shakers, indeed. CA Gov. Newsome enjoying a mask-free dinner out with friends at that Napa restaurant. Caught, photographed (with his jacket collar up to help conceal his identity), and here he is now, running around looking to be our next President. Nauseating. Infuriating.

[moviefan8]

The emergency is not over in my workplace. We are still required to mask up while others do not.

[SaveFerris]

[Made me realize that there truly is a globalization movement that will stop at nothing to gain total control over every person in the world]

Correct you are. The 4th Beast of Daniel 7:23 is coming and it won't be stopped from coming.

Put on your mask and scan you hand for your food. It's already here. (now I should say that I'm susceptible to colds/flu so I DO keep my mask for cold/very windy conditions when I'm outside. I also have seasonal allergies.) Yes, unfortunately, I had to wear one at work. But I REFUSED to have some bureaucrat tell me what I will put into my own body.

Now, once again, put on your mask and scan your hand to buy your food. The conditioning, whether by accident or on purpose, has already begun. This is our brave new world and it's just getting started. Notice that some people were still wearing masks when this got started.

WORLD-WIDE GAME CHANGER

COMPLIMENTS OF COVID-19⁽⁸⁴⁾

Amazon One - Palm-print scanner

Pay with your hand - Forerunner to the coming Mark of the Beast (Revelation 13)

Using one's hands to pay for food. A boxed "convenience store" (Hudson Nonstop, LAX airport, Dallas Love Field airport), to Arbor Trails Whole Foods (Austin, Texas), to paying for food at Panera Bread, to other Whole Foods stores (owned by Amazon).

Yes, I use Amazon for shopping from time-to-time but this "scan-your-hand-to-pay" is already alive and in operation - no doubt it will continue to expand / grow in acceptance. The conditioning (intentional or unintentional, it will make no difference) has started.

I'm sure the people in the pics think they're showing the latest "cool thing" - possibly mocking and laughing at any reference to the "Mark of the Beast" - this is just a sampling of the pictures I found.

By the time the actual Mark of the Beast, these kinds of payment systems will be fully-embedded in society I think.

Amazon One

The world is not there - YET. But the conditioning, intentional or unintentional - it will make no difference. Fast, easy, secure, convenient. IMHO, cash will be outlawed. Digital Currency 100% will be the future. /Captain Obvious































And so shall the world be prepared for 7 years of 'Peace and Security'

[drwoof]

Yep. Had one co-worker, unjabbed, who got the bug and became gravely ill. Like in the hospital for a month, right on the edge. Younger woman with a husband and to very young children. Some at work were angry that she wasn’t able to be a productive worker because of her ‘selfishness’. THAT was their response. My God.

[newzjunkey]

It’s a sad day when that happens.

[SaveFerris]

[Spring 2021]

Yeah, crazier-than-normal. I can testify.

That being said, I saw a bit of it in early 2019 and the ball really got rolling Spring of 2020.

[Irenic]

Took away any excuse for title 42, impeccable timing from the WHO. Impeccable.

It changed my opinion of doctors and scientists for the worse.

Over all it was quite eye opening.

[mewzilla]

Define blue.

Take NYC and CA for example.

If NYC is so blue, why does it have RCV for mayorals?

If CA is so blue, why did the state go to all mail-in?

[mewzilla]

To folks who still think the majority of voters will continue to vote for annihilation, I gently suggest you are assuming facts not in evidence.

[drwoof]

Agree. The border situation was/is bizarre, until one realizes the lies and the plan.
