&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Demagogue &lt;/span&gt;-&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; A leader of the rabble; one who attempts to control the multitude by specious or deceitful arts; an unprincipled and factious mob orator or political leader.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If it quacks, waddles, and has webbed feet…what is it?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;That’s an old adage; one I’ve heard many times in my years. Whoever it was that first said it, truly understood his circumstance. It tells us that we can believe our eyes. It reminds us of our sanity and that our instincts are not to be ignored.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;For years now, I’ve been one of those Americans who sits back and watches the political foreplay of politicians. As I’ve grown older and my faith has deepened, I began to realize how much I could see. Many times, quietly telling myself what was about to happen. I was amazed, even shocked a few times as it did unfold. Some of these events, even some with specifics like dates and explicit facts appeared, months and sometimes years afterward. Granted, much of this is human intuition and experience. I know many of you can relate. A few were a merciful warning from heaven. They’re recorded in my blog and books.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Wherever actions contradict words a lie must exist.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;- Christopher Lynn Carter&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Senate Leader John Thune is the most recent example of this. I’ve posted on social media about him specifically many times. I for one, was (am) not surprised at his political smurfing in front of the microphone, knowing full well he is not serving the people of his state or his nation. He is not. He’s a vassal of a much larger contingent of despots under whom he placed himself many years ago as a disciple of the mumbling Mitch McConnell. Oddly, these men are serious men. They’re just not serious about serving you. Instead, they are important links in a long obfuscated chain of thievery by the rich and powerful who lust for even more power and control.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;To not take the simple action to secure the vote of the common people, our only voice, when those people have so profoundly spoken to do so, is a betrayal of national consequence and historic proportions. Allow me to put into words for everyone what these men and women are saying to people of the greatest nation planet earth has ever seen.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;“We don’t care about you. We know better than you because we are better than you. Therefore, we’re acting on our behalf and are willing to tell you anything to sleaze it by and make it happen.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is the kind of wickedness men should fear most. It’s cold, calculated and deeply deceptive. It’s hidden, which is what the word "Occult" means and is the fingerprint of our arch enemy, “Ole Slewfoot.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;For years the GOP has been lying and telling conservatives what they want to hear, then when they fail to deliver, they slither up to the microphone and blame it on the Democrats, while the Democrats giggle in the background because they’re all in on it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;This American believes the only answer left is to amend the constitution and limit the power of these despotic men who think that the Unites States Treasury is their purse full of play money. We must wrench it from their hands because they will NEVER do it willingly. This will require an Article V convention of the states.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is likely to get worse from here and I don’t believe near enough of America is ready for it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And that’s the bottom line.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><betag:tag xmlns:betag="http://dotnetblogengine.net/schemas/tags">John Thune</betag:tag><betag:tag xmlns:betag="http://dotnetblogengine.net/schemas/tags">Mitch McConnell</betag:tag><betag:tag xmlns:betag="http://dotnetblogengine.net/schemas/tags">MAGA</betag:tag><betag:tag xmlns:betag="http://dotnetblogengine.net/schemas/tags">Save America Act</betag:tag><dc:publisher xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Chris</dc:publisher><dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Demagogue - A leader of the rabble; one who attempts to control the multitude by specious or deceitf</dc:description><pingback:server xmlns:pingback="http://madskills.com/public/xml/rss/module/pingback/">https://blog.christopherlynncarter.com/pingback.axd</pingback:server><pingback:target xmlns:pingback="http://madskills.com/public/xml/rss/module/pingback/">https://blog.christopherlynncarter.com/post.aspx?id=fb0936cb-4b51-469c-8a29-535ad3c5110e</pingback:target><slash:comments xmlns:slash="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/">0</slash:comments><trackback:ping xmlns:trackback="http://madskills.com/public/xml/rss/module/trackback/">https://blog.christopherlynncarter.com/trackback.axd?id=fb0936cb-4b51-469c-8a29-535ad3c5110e</trackback:ping><wfw:comment xmlns:wfw="http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/">https://blog.christopherlynncarter.com/post/The-Demagoguery-of-the-GOP.aspx#comment</wfw:comment><wfw:commentRss xmlns:wfw="http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/">https://blog.christopherlynncarter.com/syndication.axd?post=fb0936cb-4b51-469c-8a29-535ad3c5110e</wfw:commentRss><author>noemail@noemail.org (Christopher Lynn Carter)</author></item><item><title>Term Limits for Congress</title><category>The Science of Think</category><pubDate>Fri, 20 Mar 2026 21:20:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">https://blog.christopherlynncarter.com/post/Term-Limits-for-Congress-Its-Time.aspx</guid><description>&lt;img src="https://blog.christopherlynncarter.com/custom/themes/sciencethink/img/termlimits.jpg" class="img-fluid" alt="Term Limits"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;The two party system has failed the American people. It has become the fruit of public service term longevity. That longevity is the linchpin, the anchor with which far too many men and women cleave to power and control of that which&amp;nbsp;sovereignly&amp;nbsp;belongs to the American people. That is the basis upon which our constitutional founding was created and legally remains to this day. But simply stated, that is not how it functions today.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What we witness daily is like a cardboard standup, a fake in others words. It looks like a Republic, the droning away in front of the microphone and camera sounds like a Republic but it increasing fails to produce those expected outcomes. In fact, and most of you are now recognizing this, again and again fallacious promises are made that never come to pass. Extremely simple things, like the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Save America Act&lt;/span&gt;, for example. A plethora of excuses after the fact always follow, and then they move on to the next crises (often artificially created) to distract the public from the bleeding of our freedoms and the looting of our treasury. From the famous passage in the Bible:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span id="en-NKJV-29799" class="text 1Tim-6-10"&gt;For the love of money is a root of&amp;nbsp;evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. - I Timothy 6:10&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;This lengthy duration in public office allows for a very subtle favoritism and type of nepotism to creep in, and has been euphemistically called, the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;good ole boy system.&lt;/span&gt; It operates by &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;favors owed to favors&lt;/span&gt; and the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;honor among thieves&lt;/span&gt; which creates an indentured servant who ends up serving themselves while wielding the power and purse of the people by whom they are elected. For crying out loud, they're even &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;DYING &lt;/span&gt;in office now. This is clearly not what the founders intended. They envisioned citizen servants, who would faithfully serve the needs of their constituents (which is nothing but lip service in our time) and then return to private life. Obviously, this is not what is happening today, and so the cycle continues. As in many complex systems (what is more complex than the deviate criminal minds of men) it grows silently in the dark.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Subterfuge becomes the modus operandi while they slowly circumvent a system designed to protect the people, transforming it into a system that enslaves the people.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;On the surface, ambiguous lies run cover for the rot underneath. This perfectly describes the GOP for years and years. Senate Leader John Thune is just the next incarnation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The beauty of TERM LIMITS is that it is simple, direct and lays the axe to the root of the tree. They will NEVER do this voluntarily, so we can stop asking. It WILL REQUIRE an Article V Convention of the States.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here is what we can and should expect from this direct and completely constitutional action:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;It is more than just plucking the low hanging fruit which would eventually grow back. It goes directly to severing the root of their power. Having dirt on your colleague has far less time to get indentured (honor among thieves).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Calling in a "favor" has far less meaning since every Representative and Senator is timing out.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The allure of getting filthy rich as a politician diminishes because they are timing out.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;It diminishes their lying, motive and intent, something at which they are highly skilled, to stay in office until they're trollied around the halls of congress in wheelchairs while unelected staff members actually do their voting!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Due to the nature of all of the above, more servant minded people can have a shot at SERVICE, since getting wealthy is more at home than in the halls of congress.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;We have term limited the office of our president to insure that power is separated between people who hold the office. But wait! Congress is a co-equal branch to both the Judiciary and the Executive. Having too much power in the same group of people for decades is in fact showing its ugly head, and for the same reasons feared in a president.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;For the same reasons we term limit the office of president, it has become glaringly obvious we MUST do it for members of congress.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Term Limits for congress is one of the single most actions the American people can take to get control of our future and for the future generations of Americans to come. If the behavior of Congress is the problem (and it is), we term limit them just like the president and for the exact same reason.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The time has come to amend the constitution and term limit members of congress. @COSProject on X.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><betag:tag xmlns:betag="http://dotnetblogengine.net/schemas/tags">TERMLIMITS</betag:tag><betag:tag xmlns:betag="http://dotnetblogengine.net/schemas/tags">John Thune</betag:tag><betag:tag xmlns:betag="http://dotnetblogengine.net/schemas/tags">Mitch McConnell</betag:tag><betag:tag xmlns:betag="http://dotnetblogengine.net/schemas/tags">President Trump</betag:tag><betag:tag xmlns:betag="http://dotnetblogengine.net/schemas/tags">We The People</betag:tag><dc:publisher xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Chris</dc:publisher><dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">For the same reason we Term Limit a president, it is Congress' turn to join the party.

&lt;p&gt;Whatever you talk about gets bigger. It’s funny how our minds work that way. This is one of the reasons idle gossip (the kind in which they engage on The View) is so salacious. Gossip is the dainty morsels of trivial information, casual and informal, about the private lives, coming and goings of other people and “what they think” about…whatever. Hidden within the motive of this behavior is the sin of envy. Jealousy and envy distill down into covetousness, which of course is one of the ten great commandments.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, his ass, his ox, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;It’s a violation of relationship, and everything is about relationships.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;WHAT IF, there were this one book humanity could read that was like a master guide? A complete set of instructions? Like a user manual or better yet, a cookbook! In it are all the recipes known to exist and from which any person could create the perfect dish. Of course, one would have to actually read this thing and comprehend the recipe. Make sure the ingredients were fresh, in the proper amounts and added to the mixer at the proper time and in the proper way. Heat and serve then voila! You could sit down and enjoy the meal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is pretty much what the Bible is. A cookbook from which the reader, utilizing proper discretion and solemnity, can identify all the recipe’s necessary to create a wonderful life. But like any good chef, the final outcome is highly dependent on his discipline and his attention to every detail in order to achieve the desired outcome. Allowing some flare and experimentation along the way is part of the deal, even encouraged, when keeping the final outcome promised by the recipe in mind.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;No proper chef would use a cup of salt when the recipe calls for a teaspoon. Or bake a cake at 500° for 2 hours. The results would be disastrous. You could eat it, but it would not be good. Following the guidelines is necessary and the best of things, but only if you want to enjoy the meal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One of the primary reasons I am a consumer of social media is it allows me to shop the produce section and the meat counter in raw form, like a chef. I want to see all of the ingredients from the starting point. No modification, no additives, no packaging. I want to know the truth about the earth people and proceed from there. Am I a good chef? Probably. One with the final outcome in mind. That outcome? Providing good recipes to my family based upon and faithful to the main cookbook, the one the never changes.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;A good chef can always see another chef from afar.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;If more people lived each day like they were cooking something wonderful, planning to consume it at the end of the day, I think their lives would go much smoother. I know mine would. But none of us start out this way. Why?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;The Bible is not a bowl of fruit from which you can simply pick whatever you want.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;And it does say what it means, and it means what it says. It is that one book with all the recipes you will ever need. But you have to exercise discipline, understand where the guard rails are, and proceed carefully. In other words, follow the recipe.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is the major problem, perceptively for so many, that we can cherry pick what the scriptures say. Far more read God’s Word in the context of what they already believe, seeking that which will confirm who they already are. This is how heresy's are created. Some mistakenly read it in light of what some other man teaches, primarily. That is incorrect. God’s Word is your first authority. Your “Pastor” should be teaching that from the pulpit and what he is saying should agree with what you have read. If there are questions the two of you should come together and communicate. A pastor is not your primary authority. Christ Jesus is in the person of Holy Spirit. A pastor/teacher is an overseer and if he's doing his job, the both of you will have agreement around the Word. This requires you to think and have regular Bible reading on your own. You will only get out of it, that which you are willing to put into it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To the rest, the Bible is just a Kook Book. At least that's what they've turned the Bible into. A collection of writings, ramblings, or unauthenticated fables, meaningless and filled with conjecture. The worst of it is opinions, void of what Bible scholars call hermeneutics, which are rules by which you understand what the Bible is actually saying. Others poke fun, ridicule and in worse cases, violently persecute and more. This has become a major problem in a world filled with information coming from everywhere at the speed of cyber space.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;False doctrines abound in our day, and they spread like viruses. They tickle itching ears as self-deceived persons, many unknowingly, blather out and blend their preferences and personal tastes into their preaching and teaching, failing to recognize their own sub-conscious failure to humble themselves before a Holy God who paid the ultimate price for their deliverance from sin, death, hell and the grave. It was a common problem in the first century church and remains so today. In fact, one can argue it’s worse than at any other time in history due to the world population and the swift nature of information travel. How to fix this you ask?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I already mentioned regular Bible reading. You simply MUST conjoin that with regular prayer. Now, allow me to set some of you free on this subject. Prayer is simply talking to God. Just relax. Tell him what you think. Ask him what you want and then listen. Build a relationship with him through Christ, as if he were right there with you, wherever you are…because he is. In time, you will be amazed at the results. Find a good church where the pastor/leadership is committed to these things I mentioned. Where two or more agree together, they will have from God’s Word what they say. You’re the chef. Make something. I’ll leave you with this:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. – John 1:1-5&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><betag:tag xmlns:betag="http://dotnetblogengine.net/schemas/tags">Bible</betag:tag><betag:tag xmlns:betag="http://dotnetblogengine.net/schemas/tags">God's Word</betag:tag><betag:tag xmlns:betag="http://dotnetblogengine.net/schemas/tags">False Doctrines</betag:tag><dc:publisher xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Chris</dc:publisher><dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">The Bible is not a bowl of fruit from which you can simple pick what you want.</dc:description><pingback:server xmlns:pingback="http://madskills.com/public/xml/rss/module/pingback/">https://blog.christopherlynncarter.com/pingback.axd</pingback:server><pingback:target xmlns:pingback="http://madskills.com/public/xml/rss/module/pingback/">https://blog.christopherlynncarter.com/post.aspx?id=9800b4e2-1c4a-4504-a803-1dc3e08d0c8d</pingback:target><slash:comments xmlns:slash="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/">0</slash:comments><trackback:ping xmlns:trackback="http://madskills.com/public/xml/rss/module/trackback/">https://blog.christopherlynncarter.com/trackback.axd?id=9800b4e2-1c4a-4504-a803-1dc3e08d0c8d</trackback:ping><wfw:comment xmlns:wfw="http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/">https://blog.christopherlynncarter.com/post/The-Kook-Book.aspx#comment</wfw:comment><wfw:commentRss xmlns:wfw="http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/">https://blog.christopherlynncarter.com/syndication.axd?post=9800b4e2-1c4a-4504-a803-1dc3e08d0c8d</wfw:commentRss><author>noemail@noemail.org (Christopher Lynn Carter)</author></item><item><title>1906</title><category>General</category><category>The Science of Think</category><pubDate>Tue, 10 Mar 2026 13:23:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">https://blog.christopherlynncarter.com/post/1906.aspx</guid><description>&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="https://blog.christopherlynncarter.com/custom/themes/sciencethink/img/1906.jpg" class="img-fluid" alt="1906"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
There are approximately 3 American generations (40 years x 3) from The United States constitutional founding (1787) till the approximate beginning of the American Industrial revolution (1906). That revolution ushered in an economic expansion unlike any previously witnessed in the world. A profound prosperity, wealth and opulence understandably followed. There have also been 3 generations from the Industrial revolution to the year 2026. Therefore to summate, 3 American generations to build and establish the nation and 3 additional American generations to reach the year 2026.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;h5&gt;Notable events in the year 1906:&lt;/h5&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;January 12: The Persian Constitutional Revolution began in earnest, with a coalition forcing Shah Mozaffar ad-Din Shah Qajar to grant a constitution and establish Iran's first national assembly (Majlis), marking a key step toward modern governance in Persia (modern-day Iran).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Ecuador–Colombia Earthquake (January 31): An 8.8 magnitude quake and subsequent tsunami killed at least 500–1,000 people along the coast.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;February 10: The British Royal Navy launched HMS Dreadnought, the first modern battleship. This revolutionary "all-big-gun" design made older battleships obsolete and sparked a naval arms race leading up to World War I.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Mount Vesuvius Eruption (April 5): The volcano erupted in Italy, devastating towns in the Naples province and killing over 100 people.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;April 18: The 1906 San Francisco earthquake (estimated magnitude 7.8–7.9) struck along the San Andreas Fault, followed by devastating fires that destroyed much of the city. It killed at least 3,000 people (some estimates higher), left 225,000–300,000 homeless, and caused around $350–400 million in damage (equivalent to billions today). This remains one of the most iconic disasters in U.S. history.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;July 12: The Dreyfus Affair in France ended when Alfred Dreyfus was fully exonerated by the Court of Appeals, closing one of the most infamous political scandals and miscarriages of justice in modern history.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Valparaíso Earthquake (August 16): An 8.2 magnitude earthquake in Chile caused widespread destruction, leaving nearly 4,000 dead and 20,000 injured.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;President Theodore Roosevelt became the first sitting U.S. president to travel abroad (to Panama and Puerto Rico) and won the Nobel Peace Prize for mediating the end of the Russo-Japanese War.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Upton Sinclair's novel The Jungle (published earlier but influential in 1906) led to U.S. passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act and Meat Inspection Act, foundational for modern food safety regulations.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Second Occupation of Cuba: Unable to control a rebellion, Cuban President Tomás Estrada Palma requested U.S. intervention, leading to a three-year U.S. occupation.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;h6&gt;(Historical sources Grok and Google AI)&lt;/h6&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It is no secret that numbers play a role in the Bible. I am not a numerologist if the term means mankind can somehow “crack the code” and de-compile God the Creator. However, it is obvious that God leaves his fingerprints on everything, or perhaps we could call them breadcrumbs, for us to find and observe, and to follow IF we have eyes to see and ears to hear, euphemistically speaking.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div&gt;The prime numbers 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 all obviously reoccur in the Bible and then seemingly stop at 12, a whole number. Other numbers are multiples of 12. There are a few I know of that appear, the presence of which I have no idea about their significance so far…and so on and so forth.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;When God called Abram out of the city of Ur, it was to establish and begin a rebuilding of his relationship to his son, the mankind, after man fell in the Garden of Eden. He started with a faithful man. That was God’s clearly defined interest and purpose, a man of faith, in the person of Abram, whose name means “father.” From there Abram begat Issac and Issac begat Jacob. That is 3 generations.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The patriarch Jacob begat 12 sons in all, which later became known as the 12 tribes of Israel. The number 12 is a well-known number associated with the concept of foundations. A foundation is the firm immovable footing upon which one builds a house, building, business, or a nation. Jesus himself chose 12 men to be his apostles, the 12 apostles of the Lamb of God. Incidentally, this is one of the primary signs in the Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ, where he identified the 144,000. This is a number that means Old Covenant (12), New Covenant (12), and the number 1,000, a millennium, which is a prophetic number that symbolizes eternity. Therefore 12 x 12 x 1000 = 144,000. Pretty simple. The truth of this is that God has (is) completely healing and restoring his son, the mankind back to himself through his son, Christ Jesus.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If you take the number 400, which is the number of years the 12 tribes of Israel were in Egypt, ultimately enslaved to the will of Pharoah (Satan) and divide it by 10 (the number of commandments God gave Moses at the Exodus) you get the number 40, a biblical generation. If you also take the number 400 (years in bondage) and divide it by 12 (our foundation number) you get 33.3, which is a group of 3-3's, symbolizing God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Breadcrumbs…if you have ears to hear.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This simple math exercise is a picture of God saving, healing, and delivering his son, the mankind from the bondage of Satan and sin and then building a nation that will exist for all eternity. Daniel chapter 2 identifies this nation as The Kingdom of God, whose temple is every human heart who voluntarily repents and receives the atoning blood sacrifice of Christ. Remember the spotless lamb slain right before Israel departed Egypt? Breadcrumbs.&lt;blockquote&gt;“And I know that everything that God does shall be forever.” – Ecclesiastes 3:14.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;I have long maintained for years that it takes 3 generations to establish a nation and 3 generations to destroy one. Ultimately it is not bullets, bombs and blood that destroys a nation, but rather ideas and the sinful acts of men spawned by them. This is one of many reasons why the Apostle Paul strenuously emphasized the “renewing of your mind” by studying God’s word (Romans 12:2)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;“Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.” – Proverbs 14&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;At this moment in history, America teeters precariously on the precipice of an abyss. Yes, history does seem to repeat itself and it appears in similitudes which are, in our case, similar historical events that seem to be repeating. When you see them converging, which is what I see right now, it is at a minimum noteworthy, and at most a prophetic sign to stop what you’re doing and pay attention. I documented such an occurrence in my book, The Gideonian Judgment of 2020. You should get a copy and read it. The same types of similitudes converged in 2019, leading to all of the history that, if you’re reading this, you suffered through. It was truly remarkable.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h5&gt;And here we are again.&lt;/h5&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;We have a war in Iran (Persia), a president who is making peace through it, as well as among other nations.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;We have great new warships at sea, changing the nature of maritime combat.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;We have a great political scandal finally coming to light where hundreds of people, and maybe more, participated in state and national election fraud, something clearly intended to destabilize and bring the downfall of our Republic and way of life.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;We have a Secretary of Health bringing needed reforms to the way Americans manage their food supply and overall health.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;And yes, even Cuba, a neighbor to our south, is showing signs of what could be a new Democratic beginning.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;All that remains is an earthquake and perhaps a volcano. But it’s March as I write this, so I guess we shall see.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;We are approximately at the end of 3 generations of destruction regarding the American idea (1906-2026). After 120 years of building ever so slowly there followed 120 years of the slow leeching away of a national morality and faith. These kinds of timelines depict a mega-trend, the presence of which hides in the longevity of the timeline itself. Notice that the harbingers of this phenomenon are the hearts and minds of people. In a type of mobius, each generation forgets the mistakes of the previous one and then inconveniently repeats them, all while distracted by pleasures and a novelty with living in the world Satan is all too happy to provide (Smartphones and the Internet). This is how you build and Satan, the great liar and counterfeiter, knows that by using the same mechanism, he can destroy, conquer, and subdue any nation.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;As the dragon in the Book of the Revelation of Christ opened his mouth and caused a flood to try and sweep away the woman (the church), so he has opened his mouth and caused a tsunami of lies, that spread like a Covid virus (another similitude), to flood our land and sweep away the greatest nation planet earth has ever seen. And the only thing that ultimately stands in his way is The Church.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Church, thank God, is comprised of men and women from every walk of life, and we are everywhere. From business, journalism, the military, law enforcement, the arts, sciences, construction, transportation, education, mom’s and dad’s, single persons, and yes even politics…I could go on and on.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;I will leave you with this. When Jesus asked his disciples who did THEY say that he was, and Peter responded with, “You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God,” Jesus’ response was beautiful!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock (of faith in me) I will build My church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.”&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br&gt;We are it, guys.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Satan is a squatter. He is an illegal alien and has no authority to be here. God created planet earth for Adam and all of his descendants. This is our crib. Satan has built a stronghold with mighty gates on planet Earth. He’s playing defense. He cannot win. We are attacking and his gates shall not prevail against us.

They subsequently impact every other aspect of our lives. I’m referring to elements such as language, the arts, business, and certainly our polity, and the behavior that follows. If you truly want to know a man, listen to his words and observe his deeds.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;aside&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;The tongue and the hand always follow the heart.
&lt;p class="by"&gt; — &lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Christopher Lynn Carter&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/aside&gt;

He will eventually show you who he is. This is one reason why liars are so repugnant. Their misdirection intends to distract others and prevent them from seeing who they are. It’s a form of stealth.&lt;br&gt;The intentional deception toward another is an act of self-worship and a statement to them of, “I hate you.” Some would say it’s only disrespect. But one is just a stronger form of the other. It’s ironic that someone like this has a completely different personal view having justified themselves in their own mind. That’s called denial.&lt;blockquote&gt;A lie injures both the hearer and the teller.&lt;p class="by"&gt; — &lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Christopher Lynn Carter&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;When someone lies, or is intentionally and nefariously deceptive, which is just an alternative form, they are expressing a hidden agenda. Most often it’s to get something they want. Lying has become so normalized in the world; people do it without even thinking. The standard they use is “me” first, and everyone else (if at all) comes after.&lt;br&gt;“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.”&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;These words are from John 1 out of the Bible. Jesus of Nazareth described a principle here, which when applied, reveals a person for who they truly are.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The shepherd was responsible for the safety of the sheep. He had a rod to defend them and not only the ability to do it but the willingness also. This frightened the robber, which is anyone with a hidden agenda, like eating innocent sheep or some other wicked intent, maybe rigging elections or something. Therefore, to avoid accountability, the thief looked for a way to circumvent the established process. They try to climb up some other way.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In the broader context, the sheepfold was typically a stone wall erected by the shepherds. They led the sheep into it at night for protection. The only way in or out was a single doorway. That is where the shepherd slept. Right at the door. The wolves would have to get past him to get to the sheep. Therefore, in an act of predation, they would try to scale the wall at some point, avoiding the shepherd in the process. They tried to climb up some other way.&lt;blockquote&gt;Wherever actions contradict words, a lie must exist.&lt;p class="by"&gt; — &lt;font style="font-size: 14px;"&gt;Christopher Lynn Carter&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;Thieves and robbers confront our nation, manifesting this phenomenon right now. Men determined to climb up some other way, circumvent even the rule of law and then lie about it, in order to gain power for themselves. They will ultimately subjugate millions in the process if needs be. The ends justify the means, am I right?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Senator John Thune is not fooling anyone. His actions contradict his words. These men are willingly climbing up some other way, planning a long-term ruin of an American nation to gain (or keep) power and control for themselves. They don’t think that’s what they’re doing but they’re deceived. These men have lost their way in the eyes of a Holy God, and He is watching. The U.S. Constitution empowers the American people who are capable and willing to wield the rod if necessary. This is how you deal with wolves. With a rod of correction.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;The Save America Act&lt;/span&gt; is the first line. If not, we primary these people to get them out of the way. Beyond that, we should call the first ever Article V convention of the states and amend the constitution, installing &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Term Limits&lt;/span&gt; for all members of congress and an amendment to require a &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;balanced budget annually&lt;/span&gt;. Once in place, appropriate consequences should be part of this amendment for the recalcitrant. They will fight this with all that they are. But let me remind you, the light always rules the darkness. And believe me when I tell you, God is with us.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><betag:tag xmlns:betag="http://dotnetblogengine.net/schemas/tags">Politics</betag:tag><betag:tag xmlns:betag="http://dotnetblogengine.net/schemas/tags">The Save America Act</betag:tag><betag:tag xmlns:betag="http://dotnetblogengine.net/schemas/tags">John Thune</betag:tag><betag:tag xmlns:betag="http://dotnetblogengine.net/schemas/tags">Mitch McConnell</betag:tag><betag:tag xmlns:betag="http://dotnetblogengine.net/schemas/tags">The Midterms</betag:tag><dc:publisher xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Chris</dc:publisher><dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Wherever actions contradict words, a lie must exist.</dc:description><pingback:server xmlns:pingback="http://madskills.com/public/xml/rss/module/pingback/">https://blog.christopherlynncarter.com/pingback.axd</pingback:server><pingback:target xmlns:pingback="http://madskills.com/public/xml/rss/module/pingback/">https://blog.christopherlynncarter.com/post.aspx?id=dcba6f3f-e799-44bc-aab1-aa747b7523bf</pingback:target><slash:comments xmlns:slash="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/">0</slash:comments><trackback:ping xmlns:trackback="http://madskills.com/public/xml/rss/module/trackback/">https://blog.christopherlynncarter.com/trackback.axd?id=dcba6f3f-e799-44bc-aab1-aa747b7523bf</trackback:ping><wfw:comment xmlns:wfw="http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/">https://blog.christopherlynncarter.com/post/climbing-up-some-other-way.aspx#comment</wfw:comment><wfw:commentRss xmlns:wfw="http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/">https://blog.christopherlynncarter.com/syndication.axd?post=dcba6f3f-e799-44bc-aab1-aa747b7523bf</wfw:commentRss><author>noemail@noemail.org (Christopher Lynn Carter)</author></item></channel></rss>
