The Internet And Social Media Are No Danger But Truth Suppressers Are A Grave Threat.

 

                 Our Information Portal                                                                                    Politico                                                                                          
                                                                                                        



                                                                                                              





Jeh Johnson, who served under the Obaminable administration as secretary for the Department of Homeland Security, claimed that one of the biggest dangers to America is the internet and social media because it allows people to believe what they want to believe, [1] but there will be always be people who will believe what they want regardless of whether there is an internet or not.  There have been people believing what they wish to believe before the digital age.  There are people who will believe what they wish now in the digital age, and there will continue to be people who will believe what they will, no matter how errant, wrong, delusional, foolish, erroneous, and absurd, preposterous, and fantastical those beliefs may be but that is all beside the point.
 
The internet has been a God-send and a helpful tool in the dissemination of information and knowledge throughout the world and while granted lies abound throughout the web, truth also flourishes there as well and is ever present for those willing to seek it out.
 
Were it not for the internet, and especially an internet free of government control, truth would be suppressed and the rule of lies would go virtually unchecked and unchallenged as the father of lies has taken control of all other venues of communication, education, and, information.
 
Most of our academic institutions no longer educate but instead poison the minds of multitudes with an indoctrination of falsehood.  Our media, which I routinely call the Main Stream Manure Pile, instead of being fair-minded in their reporting, has led astray the masses with misinformation with partiality to some voices while ignoring or misrepresenting the voices others.  And our entertainment industry has become a cesspool promoting depravity, glorifying that which is evil, dark, demonic, and satanic, while ridiculing and vilifying that which is good, wholesome, pure, and right.
 
What the rulers of this dark world cannot control, they will seek to eliminate in order to retain control of the minds, hearts, and souls of men and neither the internet nor social media are any exception.
 
We have been able to overcome the attempted censorship of the wicked private big tech corporations.  But what about when, and it may very well happen, the government attempts to take control of the internet?  What then if they obtain the leverage they need to dictate what content is allowed or not allowed to be posted on the internet? To make themselves the sole arbiters of what is truth and fact? What opinions and viewpoints are permissible to publish and what is not permissible?
 
And why has there been no discussion or means devised that could be used to bypass civic attempts to control communications and the publishing of information? If there are such means to bypass civic control of information, it needs to be shared and not only shared, but how such means can be accessed.  And if there are no such means, then there should be.
 
More than once have I asked, “Why is nothing being discussed about anything that can be done to bypass any potential government attempts to control or shut down the internet?” And all I am met with is silence.  And that there has been no discussion on this matter has frustrated me to no end.
 
What is dangerous are people like Jeh Johnson and more recently, Frances Hogwarts, the so-called Fartface whistle blower who would rather control how we think and what we believe instead of leaving us alone with an unrestricted free flow of information and viewpoints on any given subject [2] and the reason why people such as them oppose an unfettered internet is because they are instruments and children of Satan who is the father of lies and because they serve the father of lies, they stand opposed to the freedom of speech and an unfettered flow of information for if they were truly servants of truth, they would see no need to eliminate the freedom of speech or to control the output of information as they would be able to easily challenge and refute every falsehood that there is and they would have in themselves the confidence that the respective ideologies to which they adhere would be vindicated without the use of censorship of any sort.
 
Truth need not silence lies through censorship or force as it is confident that the evidence and facts in its favor will be sufficient for its vindication and will be enough to discredit every falsehood and that the discrediting of a lie will be enough to silence it, but lies will always seek to suppress and silence anything that challenges them, as they are under the constant threat of being exposed for what they are and therefore will hold captive the mind, heart, and soul by preventing debate and the presentation of any evidences, proofs, and facts that would undo them as once they are undone, they lose hold of those whom they have taken captive through their subtleties and deceits.
 
Know if they would succeed in silencing those who dissent from the preferred narrative regarding the COVID-19 virus, the potentially hazardous vaccines, and the legitimacy of an election, they will not stop there.
 
These servants of Satan will proceed to suppress anything that might open the eyes of the souls held captive to that very truth that might lead them to trust in the very God who made them in the first place and who is the source of all truth, the definer of what is right and wrong, and who, in His own time, will administer proper justice in which the righteous are rewarded and vindicated and the wicked are subject to everlasting punishment and contempt.
 
The likes of Jeh Johnson and Francis Hogwarts will shut the Kingdom of Heaven in the faces of men and will do all they can to keep those who might otherwise repent of their sins from being able to enter in.
 
It is for this reason that they who would serve the God who made this universe and all that is in it, who redeems the souls of men who call upon Him for salvation, and who will one day judge the world for its evil have suffered various forms of persecution throughout history from mere ridicule, discrimination, threats and intimidation and social ostracization, to loss of property, livelihood, imprisonment, torture, and even death and what they cannot destroy from without, they will infiltrate and destroy from within.
 
And it is because of that spirit at work within them that they work tirelessly and relentlessly to drag as many souls into darkness, despair, misery, and eternal damnation as they possibly can and they do so by making themselves the sole arbiter of what is truth by making out that which is truth to be a lie, that which is fact to be a fiction, that which is reality to be a fantasy, that which is good to be evil, and that which is of the light to be of the darkness and it is by robbing men of their God given rights to choose freely whom and what they will serve, silencing and keeping from those whose minds, hearts, and souls they hold captive anything that would challenge and discredit their favored narratives.
 
But they who are on the side of truth need not silence the lies of the evil one knowing full well  that the lies propagated are made powerless and of no effect when a sound defense of that which is the truth is made and they have no fear of competing for the souls of men with lies of darkness for they understand the wheat and tares must co-exist for a time until the day comes for the wheat and the tares to be separated one from another; the wheat being gathered into the Kingdom of  God, which will subdue and subjugate all earthly powers, and the tares which will be thrown into that punishing fire which burns forever and ever (Mt. 13:24-30, 37-43) but must never be given to any earthly power to separate the wheat from the tares lest they destroy some of the wheat alongside the tares as well and it is only God Almighty, who knows and searches out the thoughts of the mind and the intents of every heart, and in whom there is no corruption, nor any lie or deceit, and in whom dwells no darkness, whose ways are perfect, and whose justice is faultless who has the right to be the sole arbiter of truth since He Himself is truth and the source thereof.  It is only Him alone who, and no man, who is able to silence and eliminate all lies for it is only He who can create a world in which only truth exists.
 
But all earthly powers, even the best of them, are too evil and too stupid to decide for everyone what is truth and what is a lie; what is fact and what is fiction and it is for this reason that we were given a First Amendment that protects the freedom of speech in our nation and why other nations around the world have adopted similar laws and amendments to themselves knowing that due to the fallen nature of man, it is best to allow and keep in place the free and unfettered marketplace of ideas, allowing each person to preach and publicize what they will, for the competition of the hearts, minds, and the souls of men between the various religions, philosophies, doctrines, creeds, and opinions by way of civil discourse and debate through which men are presented arguments both for and against every manner of thought and every opinion on any given matter that they may be able to make an informed decision for themselves as to what they will side with.
 
It is only in a free and unfettered market place of ideas can it really be known who has love of the truth and who does not; who is willing to side with the God of truth or with Satan being the father of lies.
 
But anyone or any worldly power-seeking full control of any narrative, no matter what that might pertain to, is never on the side of righteousness, but has always been on the side of evil and has walked in darkness and not only that, but has forcefully kept those over whom they bear rule in that very darkness as well.
 
They who would call for civic censorship of any sort are taking upon themselves a role that has not been given to them but is reserved for God alone and in doing so, they are attempting to make themselves God over whom they would bear rule and therefore are committing a blasphemy that, for liberty’s sake cannot be allowed and if we are to remain a free society, then it must needs be that counter-measures are to be put in place by those who are capable to resist, combat, and repel any attempts by evil men to take away from us those helpful platforms by which truth and knowledge have been freely distributed because if such measures are not in place, then what shall we do? What can we do to ensure that the truth continues to be distributed to as many as it can possibly be distributed to?
 
Freedom, true freedom, is dependent upon the retaining of an unhindered free-flow of knowledge and information and it is freedom that is at stake here, but not only is the freedom that we have enjoyed and taken for granted so much at stake, but the salvation upon which true liberty is founded is at stake because the ability and means to continue preaching that very Gospel of salvation is at stake; that very Gospel by which the soul is liberated from the darkness into which it is born because of man’s fallen nature caused by the sin of the first man Adam whose act of disobedience caused sin to enter into him and then be passed down to all of mankind who descends from him (Rom. 5:12) and because sin has passed down to us from Adam, we are all born into sin and corrupt by nature and it is due to this corrupted nature that resides in each and everyone of us and is brought into every earthly power and worldly institution no matter how highly honored and respected any such may be and it is for this reason that all earthly authorities are disqualified from deciding for everyone what is truth and fact and from imposing upon their subjects any particular religion or ideology and from forbidding the preaching and practice of any particular ideology or religious faith.
 
Only the incorruptible God, who is the author of all truth, is qualified to decide what and what cannot be preached and what can or cannot be practiced as a way of life and He will never employ sinful human beings nor any earthly power to that task, especially if they happen to be Communists, the Devil State, Big tech, the anti-Christ party, the Biden creature, Frances Hogwarts, any totalitarian dictatorship or oligarchy, or any globalist entity; all of whom are at enmity with the Gospel by which the souls of men are redeemed out of their sins, and upon the receiving of which, are able to experience that true liberty that God has intended for all of mankind to experience and under which the world was originally created.
 
For when God had created the world, mankind was under more liberty and more content than at any time afterward.  He was given dominion over the entire earth and nothing was kept from him except for one thing: fruit from a certain tree called the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. (Gen. 2:16-17) Before sin entered into the world, there was only harmony between man and nature and there was uninterrupted fellowship and unity between him and his Maker.
 
But when man disobeyed that one command by eating of that forbidden fruit, sin entered into him and as a consequence, death came into the world and that sin which entered into Adam was then passed down to all of mankind and because it is passed down to all of mankind, all sin and therefore all die, just as Adam eventually died, for as it is written, “the wages of sin is death”. (Rom. 6:23)
 
But because of the disobedience of one man, we are born subject to a sinful fallen nature and unto death itself, estranged by our sin from the God who created us, subjugated to all manner of hardship, adversity, suffering, pain, sorrow, grief, fear, confusion, darkness, misery, and evil, and not only we ourselves, but also the entire creation itself because of the curse that came alongside death because of sin. (Rom. 8:19-22)
 
Sin is not measured by just our outward behavior, but also by the condition of the inward person; our thought life, motives, and the attitude of our very heart.  That is not to say that man does not have the capacity to do good, but because sin is ever present within him, his goodness is tainted and therefore fails to attain to the standard of moral perfection required of us by God. (Rom. 3:23)
 
Sin affects more than we know or comprehend, ruining and defiling everything it touches which is why God cannot allow the stain of sin to touch His sinless Kingdom and which is why when sin reaches a certain measure, it must be punished, because the God of justice cannot allow evil to abide forever because if He did not punish sin, He could neither be holy nor good and therefore His goodness and holiness requires that He punish sin and keep it out of His Kingdom and that includes those who are under sin, but not only is God good and just, He is also a God of love and mercy and it is because that He loves us and desires to show mercy that He is not willing that any should perish but come to repentance. (2 Pet. 3:9)
 
Therefore, in His love, He has made a way for redemption through Jesus Christ who became a man to offer Himself up as that needed sacrifice for our sins and it is in His death that both the demanded penalty for sin and the need for mercy were satisfied and it is by His resurrection that we are justified in Him (Rom. 4:25) and in placing our faith in His redemptive work upon the cross and believing that He rose from the dead, our souls are cleansed from that stain of sin.  We are reconciled to our Maker.  We then inherit a new nature that causes us to desire the things of God, to abide in His truth, walk in His ways, and pursue the interests of His Kingdom within the capacity that He has given to each and every one of us, no longer setting our sites on worldly interests, or on material wealth but on the building up of treasures in Heaven which last forever, no longer fearing what man can do to us, but only the God before whom all men will stand and give an account for what they have done and who is able to cast both body and soul into Hell itself for all eternity, placing our faith in God for all things rather than in those things subject to failure, error, and corruption, no longer relying on our own understanding but instead seeking Him out for the wisdom and counsel that comes from Him, no longer walking in our own strength and power but in the power and authority of God Almighty, not wanting to leave God out of anything, but instead include and glorify Him in everything, and doing all things good and right out of love for the Lord who has redeemed us and out of gratitude for the forgiveness of sins that we have received in Him.
 
And just as our souls are liberated from what would otherwise be eternal damnation because of sin, so shall our very bodies one day be liberated from death itself when they are changed from the corruptible form to that which is incorruptible. (1 Cor. 15:51-55, 1 Thess. 4:13-18)
 
And finally, creation itself will be liberated from the curse of sin and the reign of death upon it when it is made anew in which there is no sin, no death, nor any curse, and in which no evil dwells, nor anything to cause pain, grief, sorrow, misery, or hardship of any sort (Rev. 21-22)
 
And this is the Gospel that the prince of this world (Jn. 12:31, 16:11) has fought and continues to fight against because his reign over the world which he has claimed (Mt. 4:8-9, Lk. 4:6-7) since the fall of man is being brought to an end, and his defeat made certain by the blood of Christ shed on the cross by which we are redeemed and His resurrection by which He conquered death, hell, and the grave and which too will be no more for they who embrace this Gospel of salvation and it is by each soul who turns to Christ that the power of that fallen angel Lucifer, who was cast from his place at the throne of God when he thought, in his pride, to make himself equal to God (Is. 14:11-21, Ezek. 28:12-19) is dealt a blow for by the repentance of souls is his power weakened whereas his power is made stronger when men refuse to repent of their sins and stand in enmity against their Creator and it is so by his every attempt to prevent the spread of the Gospel, by hardening the hearts of men against the offered mercy and love of God, by poisoning the minds of multitudes against the truth and authority of God’s Word by which the Gospel is delivered and against those who walk therein, by withholding that which may open the eyes to and persuade many of the truth of the Gospel that they may come to repentance, by threatening and intimidating they who would follow the command to preach the good news of salvation to all into silence, through various persecutions, by depriving them of the means necessary to send the Gospel forth, and by infiltrating, corrupting, leading astray with various falsehoods, and diverting the members of the Church from that very divine purpose to which they have been called and for which they were established which is to be ambassadors on behalf of the Kingdom of God, calling as many as can be persuaded to repentance in Christ, and to expose, rebuke, and discredit those works of darkness and the falsehoods and lies which exalt themselves against the Word of God, the Gospel message, and the saints of Christ because liberty begins with the Gospel for when the Gospel is received, they who embrace it are liberated from the fear of death because they are no longer condemned in their sins but liberated from what would otherwise be an everlasting condemnation. 
They are liberated from the power of sin because they become a new person in Christ (2 Cor. 5:17) with a new nature in them that causes them to want to do that which is pleasing, good, and right in the eyes of the Lord and not to do those things that grieve and displease Him
They are liberated from a meaningless existence for their purpose in life is founded in the Kingdom of God.
They are liberated from despair and hopelessness for in Christ they are given a hope that will never fail and look forward to a world to come that is far better than this present one.
They are liberated from defeat because they now serve a victorious God under whose feet all things will be placed and are able to partake in His victory even when they appear to be defeated for the God by whom their souls are redeemed can turn even the most devastating defeats into a victory to which no defeat can ever compare.
They are also liberated from the power of evil because they have given themselves over to the authority of God which is above all other powers.
 
The truth of the Gospel which the powers of darkness have sought to suppress will prevail throughout the world, no matter what happens and a day is coming when the entire earth will be filled with the knowledge and truth of God, but we cannot allow ourselves to be silenced and neither can we allow the platforms that God has provided us from which to broadcast the Gospel of salvation to be taken away from us lest souls who might otherwise come to repentance be lost forever on account of the truth that sets free being hidden from them.
 
First, they came for the anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers who have not been deceived by the fear-mongering COVID-19 propaganda.
Next, they came for the QAnons.
Then they extended their censorship of Trump supporters and MAGA adherents.
Now they are censoring climate-change deniers.
Next they will come for those who deny the theory of evolution.
And then for proponents of capitalism and the critics of Marxism, socialism, Fascism, and Communism.
And then for those defenders of the Constitution and who promote patriotism.
And after that they who would defend support for the nation of Israel and speak out against anti-Semitism and racism.
And then every whistleblower who exposes acts of corruption and wickedness.
And finally, the Bible and the Gospel message of salvation.
 
And if we are to retain those liberties bestowed upon us and if we who be in Christ are to continue to freely preach the Gospel that has been given to us, then we cannot stand idly by and allow the likes of the Jeh Johnsons or Frances Hogwarts of the world to rob us of that which God has given us to spread the teachings of His Word and His Gospel of salvation as far and as wide throughout the world as we can.
 
We need to do something.  We need to be talking about what can be done and should be done to defeat any civic attempt to control the content that we publicize and we need to pursue any means that we can that will enable us to acquire and produce a means that will render powerless any attempt to silence our voices.
 
I have been corresponding with someone who has been sharing with me means that could potentially be used to create our own internet free from centralized control [3]
I’ve posted the thread containing that correspondence in my end notes section for those who wish to read it because it is vitally important that the production of an internet free of government control be actively pursued by businesses, SM platforms, PACs, the MAGA movement, activists, conservative and Christian media sources and publications, Christian ministries and other host site and website operators because the day could come at any time when will need to be able to produce an internet that those who might wish to silence us will not be able to control and there is no reason to think that this cannot be done because our freedoms may very well depend on it.
