"And it came to pass that there were sorceries, and witchcrafts, and magics: and the power of the evil one was wrought upon all the face of the land...for behold no man could keep that which was his own, for the thieves, and the robbers, and the murderers, and the magic art, and the witchcraft which was in the land." (Mormon 1:19, 2:10)
"For those who did not belong to their church did indulge themselves in sorceries, and in idolatry or idleness, and in babblings, and in envyings and strife; wearing costly apparel; being lifted up in the pride of their own eyes; persecuting, lying, thieving, robbing, committing whoredoms, and murdering, and all manner of wickedness; nevertheless, the law was put in force upon all those who did transgress it, inasmuch as it was [still] possible." (Alma 1:32)
Our own nation is being infiltrated by proponents of occultism and dark action. Their secret works are hidden behind such codified headings as secular humanism, postmodernism, rationalism, or the more widely accepted term of progressivism. In these views, there is little to no room for God as the physical laws of the universe cannot be superseded by any non-material or supernatural entities. Because of this, there is no basis for law or for man as unique and important because no God means the wages of sin are without consequence. Consequently, man is left spiritless and undifferentiated, part of the same collective ego mass by which we are but cogs in a machinelike universe. How devilishly devised for enslavement! Such absurdity reduces "we the people" to mere aggregates of matter, void of shape, personality, and purpose whereby salvation can only come through collective means rather than by the individual's own free will and choice. Advocates of this same deluded stink-mix send away any belief or notion about God from their lives as they would a fart. Believing themselves to be the gods of men they rely solely upon the application of reason and methodology of science to explain the origin of man and his finite potential. Sadly, such foolish doctrine has been swallowed whole by our court system where morality is more fit to be legislated from the bench rather than taught by scripture reading and righteous family influence.
James Billington, in his work Fire in the Minds of Men: Origins of the Revolutionary Faith, revealed that the "rational" socialists and revolutionaries of "the left" were from the beginning "deeply mixed up in such things as occultism, irrationalism, and pornography." In it he exposes "progressives" for who they really are - immoral anti-Christ's who worship themselves as gods, thus denying their actions as evil in their own right. Like the honeybee, they attempt to cross-pollinate their standards for rule and dominion onto others, preying on the weak and unassertive. But in their scheming, they become prisoners of their own cosmically-inflated egos, afflicted by paranoia, evil fantasies, and peculiar ideas.
"If you are corruptible and your imagination is confined to worries about loss of power, you exist in a self-destructive system. Eventually, as all life does, you must encounter something you did not anticipate, and if you have not strengthened your creative resources, you will have no new ways for adapting to change. Adapt or die, that's the first rule of survival.
The limited vision of noncreative people is not difficult to understand. Creativity frightens the unimaginative. They don't know what's happening. Things new and unexpected arise from creativity. This threatens "things as they are." And (terrible thought) it undermines illusions of omnipotence." -Frank Herbert
When these materialized souls speak of a god, he is not a person, but a collection of forces. And when they profess themselves to be speakers of the truth they lie, for their words have no real fixed meaning. Sorceries, witchcrafts, and magic, then, become the mediums by which they strive to deceive the souls of men. Through the dark arts they attempt at obtaining godlike powers in order to unmake reality in an effort to recreate a second one, which is devised as an illusion. They accomplish this by attacking the natural order of things, such as marriage being between a man and a woman, in favor of the unnatural - same-sex marriage (2 Timothy 3:1-5). They care nothing for the opportunity for same-sex couples to be married only at the satisfaction that comes from reducing God's influence even more on the earth. Sophistry, then, is the spell of choice cast by today's magicians, verbal charms meant to deceive and steal the hearts of men heard as intellectual sounding names to dupe the gullible. Here's a list of spells: postmodernism, epistemological relativism, antifoundationalism, pragmatism, situational ethics, sensitivity training, pluralism, mulitculturalism, interfaith, evolutionary humanism, transhumanism, positivism, rationalism, and progressivism. In their totality, these modern-day enchantments are all the revolutionary ideals of the void that is the American Political Left, with Obama himself playing the part of Merlin.
"In short, the age of irrationalism, lawlessness, hedonism, megalomania, and utopia-madness commenced when the rational personal God, His Revelation, unchanging Truth and Universal Moral Law were cunningly displaced by naturalistic evolutionism, astral-plane spirit-revelations, pantheistic-conceptions of god-forces, christ-consciousness, animated 'thinking' dead matter , 'force and voice ideas,' inverted morality and moral relativism, Orwellian doublespeak, and terrible-willed megalomaniacs claiming to be supermen and god-men. These are the unifying factors of Bolshevism, Nazism, and America's Progressive Liberalism." -Linda Kimball
On the same note, President Calvin Coolidge, in his speech delivered on the 150th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, July 5, 1926, warned of the dangers of 'pagan materialism':
"Here was the doctrine of equality, popular sovereignty, and the substance of the theory of inalienable rights....When we take all these circumstances into consideration, it is but natural that the first paragraph of the Declaration of Independence should open with a reference to Nature's God and should close...with an appeal to the Supreme Judge of the world and an assertion of a firm reliance on Divine Providence...In its main feature the Declaration of Independence is a great spiritual document. Equality, liberty, popular sovereignty, the rights of man — these are not elements which we can see and touch. They are ideals. They have their source and roots in the religious convictions. They belong to the unseen world. "
Now, as Christianity continues to be attacked at all fronts, our resolve ought to be even greater, to defend our principles and our God without reservation or fear. If we choose to do nothing, then the hideous specters of madness, wickedness, unnaturalness, and blasphemy will haunt every level of society, including our own homes to our eternal detriment. Or, as has been described, "...under the guiding hands of legions of daydream-believers, barbarian true-believers, megalomaniacs, and the outright possessed, the West is falling through a rabbit hole into a dark fantasy realm located on the other side of the Looking Glass — a kingdom of madness, horror, murder, and mayhem run by Red Queens, Mad Hatters and barbarians."
Obama and the sinister left are as the corruptible kings of old, who, in Psalms 2:2, "set themselves and the rulers to take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his Anointed." In their willful blindness, they have anointed themselves as rulers of men with the same specious spells and incantations that deceived Cain before his committing the first murder. Crowing with pride, today's "wizards of smart" are more airy than solid in their convictions, choosing darkness rather than light, evil for good, reputation over character. Made dizzy by political spin and excessive compromise, these occupants of government buzz around as flies over a dungheap, happy in their filth and at the refuse of surrendered freedoms. Justly, the Lord has promised that in their willful transgressions, "their hope shall be blasted, and their prospects shall melt away as the hoar frost melteth before the burning rays of the rising sun." And also "because their hearts are corrupted, and the things which they are willing to bring upon others, and love to have others suffer, may come upon themselves to the very uttermost." (D&C 121:11, 13)
None of these things are new nor should they cause any of us to fall to the floor in utter astonishment as they have existed among men since the beginning. Occultism is not some strange thing studied only by rebellious teens during sleepovers. The art of politics is the ability to deceive, amass power, and obfuscate the general public into believing that their best interests are in mind while the wool is carefully and craftily pulled over their eyes. And, like every great magic trick, the magician is only as powerful as the audience believes him to be. In magic terms, Obama showed us "the pledge" in 2008 [hope and change] followed by "the turn" [uncontrolled spending, submission to foreign leaders, and government growth] and then "the prestige" or grand finale [government control over property rights, personal defense, and religion] by which he hopes to hold his inanimate ilk in submission by keeping back any explanation into what made his presidency, or "trick", so successful. In truth, the doing away of religion provides a new powerful pull in the direction of the black arts from which tyranny, secret societies, and master magicians the world over arise as saviors during times of economic and geo-political crisis. And in place of Christ who said, "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest," many choose to lean toward nihilism, spellbound by the easy voice of the adversary who says,
"Hearken unto us, and hear ye our precept; for behold there is no God today, for the Lord and the Redeemer hath done his work, and he hath given his power unto men; behold, hearken ye unto my precept; if they shall say there is a miracle wrought by the hand of the Lord, believe it not; for this day he is not a God of miracles; he hath done his work." (2 Nephi 28:5-6)
Following are two excellent statements made about the need for wholesome religion and obedience to God and His commandments:
"Those who hope that a decline in traditional religion would inaugurate a new Age of Reason ought to think again....Apparently, when Christianity loses its grip on large numbers of people, deviant religious alternatives arise, and get hold of some of the unchurched... Persons with no religious affiliation are often among the first to toy with novel or exotic supernatural notions and are not the secular rationalists we might want to think them. Cults flourish precisely where the conventional churches are weakest...(also), numbers of unchurched people seek private contact with the supernatural....a further decline in the influence of conventional religion may not inaugurate a scientific Age of Reason but might instead open the floodgates for a bizarre new Age of Superstition." - Bainbridge and Stark
"If we and our posterity...live always in the fear of God and shall respect His Commandments...we may have the highest hopes of the future fortunes of our country.... But if we...neglect religious instruction and authority; violate the rules of eternal justice, trifle with the injunctions of morality, and recklessly destroy the constitution which holds us together, no man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may overwhelm us and bury all our glory in profound obscurity." -Daniel Webster
As I mentioned earlier, many occupants in government are as the fly, spending their time among the spoil of man's surrendered freedoms. And throughout history, the fly has been known to signify the devil. Urbain Grandier, a French Catholic Priest sentenced to death because of witchcraft and sexual whoredom, was burned at the stake for his dark actions. Appropriately, during the delivered sentence, one attending monk asserted that he had seen "a huge fly buzzing around Grandier's head" as if it was "that demon himself who, after taking the form of one of his subjects, had come to carry off the magician's soul." Remember that men's hearts are easily deceived by pretended piety and good intentions in the same way King David's third son, Absalom, stole the masses by painting himself as a dear friend and righteous judge of the people, kissing any man who came nigh to him to do him obeisance - all while plotting to overthrow his own father for the throne. (2 Samuel 15:2-6)
The obvious question then is: How can we permit ourselves to elect, let alone be overrun, by such malignant egoists without offering resistance? With open eyes have we let ourselves be dragged down into this present national disaster. Similar to the German disaster that was World War II, Hans Bernd Gisevius, former diplomat and covert opponent of the Nazi regime said this about the self-enslavement of so many of his people under Nazi rule:
"All of us, and not alone the Nazis, strayed into dangerous, evil ways. Passive acceptance, intellectual subservience, or, in religious terms, failure to pray against the evil, may constitute a kind of silent support for authoritarian rule. We were guilty of failure to understand, of willful blindness, of misguided obedience, of paltry compromising, of exaggerated caution or of persistent shirking of the logical conclusions. One of the vital lessons we must learn is the ease with which a people can be sucked down into the morass of inaction; let them as individuals fall prey to overcleverness, opportunism, or cowardliness and they are irrevocably lost."
Nowadays, fatalism is fashion. The soul, mind, free will, conscience, are all considered rights of the past. Let King George III's disease, porphyria, the fitting pathological condition for the wicked, blister and scar the skin of the ungodly until they are forced into a stupor by the direct sunlight of revealed truth; to serve as reminders that there exists above them a just and even still merciful Father whose Firstborn Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, alone paved the way for man's redemption. So, the grand question remains: In whom do we place our trust? In God or man? Over the last 70 years (and throughout earth's history), we have had signs enough. If we are attuned to the truth and receptive of it, then the answer to the above question becomes even more apparent...and audible.
Long live the fighters
