Truth, Trepidation, and Trickery
How to navigate facts, fiction, and fear in our current world system
Can you identify the source of these famous one-liners about truth? Answers in the footnotes.1
You can’t handle the truth!
I am the way, the truth, and the life.
What is truth?
Truth is like a lion. You don’t have to defend it. Let it loose and it will defend itself.
Truth is hard to come by — sourcing quotes is even harder.
The Pandemic and Truth
One good thing that came out of the Pandemic is that we can no longer deny that truth is under attack. The controllers and elite of society have tipped their hands, and the five cards they hold spell: L.I.A.R.S. All of them. Here are a few reminders.
Deborah Birx bragged about withholding information from President Trump during the Pandemic, and later claimed, “I knew these vaccines were not going to protect against infection. And I think we overplayed the vaccines.”
Pfizer, Mainstream Media, Biden, CDC, FDA, and others lied about the safety and efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccine and other atrocities. 2
Fauci admitted to lying to the public about masks — for the public good. For his other lies check out the Real Anthony Fauci by Robert Kennedy, Jr. Read about it here.
Bill Gates lies about everything he wants to, often. Don’t believe that? Watch the Pirates of Silicon Valley.
They all lied about lockdowns and COVID protocols. Former UK Health Czar Matt Hancock got caught.
In the meantime, doctors, scientists, and journalists who were telling the truth about the Pandemic were censored, marginalized, demonized, and even suicided. The truth was labeled misinformation across all mainstream social media channels. Many people lost their platforms and even their livelihoods for speaking out against the narrative.
There was one cohesive, comprehensive, deception campaign thrust upon the world in 2020. Things will never be the same.
Why the Collusion?
How could so many governments, officials, organizations, institutions, and agencies pull off such a huge and comprehensive propaganda program that practically deceived the entire world?
Churches shut down, bowed to the lying establishment, promoted a false narrative, pushed the vaccine, and looked down upon those who chose to not comply
Beaches, parks, playgrounds, restaurants, businesses, schools, recreation, waterways, and more were shut down, closed off, and cleared out.
People were afraid of each other, families broke apart due to their vaccine status, children were forced to wear masks at school, and some countries forced travelers or citizens to quarantine in miserable conditions
Depression, suicide, and alcoholism became rampant; children suffered a setback in learning that can have impacts for many years to come; people were bribed, cajoled, or manipulated into taking a vaccine that was dangerous, experimental, and ineffective.
Big businesses grew fat and wealthy, while small businesses were squeezed out of existence; the pharmaceutical industry increased its wealth exponentially, while affordable, safe, and reliable treatments and protocols were tossed out — despite the evidence — just so they could get emergency authorization on the vaccine.
Payouts for mainstream protocols were so HUGE, that hospitals would only treat with a prescribed standard of care that proved to be the very reason people were dying. In many cases, the protocols were causing the death, not COVID.
School boards were making egregious decisions against students and parents for the big financial payouts for compliance: masks, social distancing, etc.
How on Earth Did We Get Here?
How could all this happen?
I propose there are three basic reasons:
We have exchanged the truth of God for a lie;
We have put our trust in men who are proven liars; and
We have stopped thinking for ourselves due to incessant brainwashing.
Thankfully, many people fought back against this narrative. Not everyone was asleep at the wheel. Many people were speaking up and out warning people and sharing the truth.
One such organization was The HighWire, another Children’s Health Defense, as well as smaller voices like Vaccines and Christianity.
Where Was the Church?
But here is the glaring problem for me: Where was the church of Jesus Christ in this crisis? For the most part, they were silent, obeying mandates, forcing congregants to wear masks, and believing the narrative.
The beacon of truth, the ones who are supposed to warn the flocks about sheep in wolves’ clothing, heal the sick, gather and pray during pandemics, comfort the hurting — instead they joined forces with Anti-christ, upheld CDC guidelines, encouraged the death shot, said they were loving their neighbor, while promoting one of the biggest lies ever perpetrated on the human race in modern times. How many died due to their counsel or lack thereof?
Where did the discernment in the body of Christ go?
I’ve pondered that question often. How could so many “professors” of truth get it so wrong?
A Deeper Lie
I believe there’s a deeper lie. I’ve been searching for it for a while now. At first, I thought the root was Dispensationalism. But then I realized there were many — almost every branch of Christianity that holds to the same defeatist devil lie that Christians lose down here.
I assure you, Christ did not die so the church could lose down here. No, indeed, He died, rose again, and ascended to the right hand of power so that He could WIN down here, reverse the curse, destroy the works of the devil, and have preeminence in all things.
That’s the trajectory of history and the purpose of the church. God’s heart is for us to live peaceable lives in all godliness. He wants things to go well with us and our children forever. He wants to establish justice and righteousness on earth. And the church is His means to make it happen. And when we fail miserably — like we are presently — then His zeal will set us back on course.
Not to destroy — but to heal. God’s Word contains the blueprints for healing nations — if we believe. Then faith, with works, will bring about such an abundance of blessings to earth that we cannot contain it.
We have lost course. But the hopelessness we experience in the church goes further back than Dispensationalism.
Deeper Errors
Since defeatist eschatology must come from somewhere, I considered that it might stem from the fact that we’ve allowed corrupted Bible texts into the mainstream. And it’s a genuine problem in the church today. Learn more here. God promises that if we mess with His Word, He will bring about the plagues of the book of Revelation upon mankind.
I mulled on this thought for some time.
Then, I was listening to Dr. Jason Lisle, astrophysicist and Christian apologist, who claimed that the problems with Christianity started much earlier than the 1800s, even during the Enlightenment.
At that point, I thought I’d never be able to pinpoint the great straying away from God that has allowed such wickedness to come upon us. I’m not a history buff. Too much happened during the Enlightenment that I didn’t think it possible to peel back all the layers of lies that came from that era. Although, I do believe I’m getting closer.
However, I came to understand the real problem is much simpler to identify.
The True Culprit
The real problem is that we have neglected, to our own demise, the Law of God.
Two great commandments: to love God and love neighbor, sum up 10 specific commandments, which are explained from Genesis to Revelation.
Every Word counts.
God’s Law brings blessing, peace prosperity, and freedom. It pierces through all the darkness and lies. It is the truth that sets men free. Another famous truth quote by the Truth Himself: “You shall know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” And yet another: “Thy Word is truth.”
No question God’s Law is the answer. We must return to the pure Word of God and apply it to all of life. This is how we can get free from the oppressive lying regime (One World Government) which has the world in bondage and seeks to bind us even more.
There is no manmade law that can substitute God’s Law of Liberty. We can’t look to Hammurabi, Natural Law, democracy, or any other manmade law-system if we want to enjoy freedom and eat under our own fig tree.
God’s Law or we go bust.
Turning Back
If we are to get back to blessing instead of cursing, we will need true repentance, Holy Spirit humility, and gospel grace, starting with me.
All the frustration I feel for the deceivers and the deceived must be balanced with these three gifts — and they can only be granted by God Himself.
God’s Word is the foundation for all of life. He must restore our faith in His enduring Word so that we will stop believing the lies of the world system which is under the sway of the evil one.
Let all men be counted as liars — and God be true.
His Word is truth.
My Prayer
Father in heaven, destroy the liars and deceivers who hate Your people and are working in collusion with the devil. Remove the veil from our eyes and cause us to dig into your truth and apply it to all of society.
YOU are the way the truth and the life. May we learn to love Your Law once again. For this is the love of God that we keep Your commandments and Your commandments are not burdensome. Remind us that You gave us Your law so we could know the way of blessing.
Thank You for sending Jesus to obey Your Law perfectly, so we could receive forgiveness when we fail.
Turn our hearts to You once again and heal our land.

Jesus Christ in John 14:6, explaining that He is the ONLY way to the Father.
Pilot in John 18:38 waxing on about truth while talking to the Truth.
Some attribute this quote to Augustine of Hippo; however, many refute this claim. Others attribute the quote to Charles Spurgeon, who was talking about the Bible being like a lion. Yet, it seems the quote has been reduced to a paraphrase. You can read more about that here. I say the quote is still valid regardless of its origin, especially in light of the Word of God or Bible as truth. Yet, we should make the attribution correct — especially if we are discussing truth. If someone has additional primary source material on this quote, please send it along.
This quote is attributed to ME because I just wrote it. I had several beautiful quotes about truth I wanted to include here, but I could not find the primary source. Apparently, people love repeating things without sharing their sources. Here are a few potential apocryphal quotes about truth:
You shall know the truth, and the truth will make you mad — Aldous Huxley?
You shall know the truth, and the truth will make you odd — Flannery O’Conner?
No doubt the truth is hard to come by for those who do not like the sound of it - dreams and illusions are so much more pleasant. — Anatoli Granovsky?
