Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff (and some of the Big Stuff)

Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff (and some of the Big Stuff)

 JBH Wonders, 2014-2015

So why am I writing this? I have been attending meetings and seminars for over fifteen years now. A couple seminars were of the personal development type. The rest concerned govern(mental) and social problems that we are having to deal with. Most of the meetings were local and were called meetings for “patriots”, “tea parties”, “law basics”, etc, etc. And, my being a “news junky”, I frequent websites with “alternate news” and non PC (politically correct) articles. I have now become pretty selective about what I spend my time reading as I keep seeing the same story content repeated. It’s just a different day and a different author.

I have learned much. But now many years later after hearing the same rhetoric about the issues, there is still little action being taken. The history lessons and personal opinions seem to be endless. I am weary of re-learning the origin of the problems at hand and the constant debates. It is passed time to make some hard decisions and take actions. (But still, the sleepers need educated and pushed)

There are numerous odd and improper things going on in our societies, our nation, and the world at large. Much of it is being promoted by “left wing socialists”, “progressives”, and various government entities. Many of these things are out of hand. In my opinion, many of these issues are not directly controllable or correctable by any good people that remain. So this article is a tabulation of some of the big issues and my reasons for just letting these things take their course to failure by their own doing while we focus our energies on things that we have the power to control and perhaps make a difference. The things that we can best get involved with and make a difference are on a local level (village, town, township, county, state). “Politics is local” as the saying goes.

“For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?”

Luke 14:28

“Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,”

Luke 14:29

“Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.”

Luke 14:30

“Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?”

Luke 14:31

“Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace”

 Luke 14:32

Also, there is a common saying in the research and development field that is eventually uttered on any given project; “it is time to shoot the engineer”. The meaning is that after much study, research, thought, design, and work, one must just proceed at whatever the risk. You can’t study the hell out of a problem forever.

We no longer have time to research and discuss things at length that we have no control over. Anyone just looking for diversions or other entertainment can visit the numerous websites devoted to “conspiracy theories”. The main thing is to obey our creator, maintain a moral lifestyle and survive.

What I believe that we should be doing is covered in my future article: “We Should Fight This Stuff”.

So Here is What We Have Now and What one Patriot Suggests That We NOT do anything About:

“Chem Trails”

“The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.”

Psalm 58:3

“Their poison is like the poison of a serpent:…;”

Psalm 58:4

Is the federal government or some foreign agency zapping the airways with a noxious gas that is making us all stupid or slowly poisoning us to death? Hell I don’t know. There is much buzz about it. Anyone who has the spare time (are you already prepared for a TSHTF⁽¹⁾ scenario and such?) can continue to research the topic and blather on about it. Short of having an air force squadron and pilots at you command there is nothing we local people can do about stopping it. If those clouds worry you, stay inside or get a gas mask and get involved with something local.

Collapse of the dollar

“Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike abomination to the LORD.”

Proverbs 20:10

It is a fact that “money” of every nation on earth has been eventually debased by some government or ruler throughout history. Well, it has been happening in these united states for many years now. If history repeats itself, then our “almighty dollar”, the current reserve currency of the world, will eventually be useful only as confetti. The economies of other nations/countries are collapsing as I write this. I do not believe any political posturing about whose fault it is and how it can be stopped. The dollar of these united states is probably going to be totally worthless eventually. This has been predicted by financial experts Peter Schiff and Gerald Celente among others.

We can do more research about how this happened and continue to post well-crafted articles on blog-posts, but it will not change anything. Me, I have been saving pre-1982 pennies, nickels, and the occasional silver coin for years now. So save the coins now while they still have some intrinsic value and buy precious metals and other tangible assets if you can. Advise others to do likewise. But first make sure that you have a supply of what you really need. We cannot drink nor eat metal. And beware of this:

“Howl, ye inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the merchant people are cut down; all they that bear silver are cut off.”

Zephaniah 1:11

I am not sure what, when, where or if this verse is applicable to our present situation but it sure sounds like a warning.

Drones

“…out of the serpent's root shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent.”

Isaiah 14:29

Well the catchy phrase “we have the technology” does apply these days big time. I am of the school of thought that even though we can do something, it does not follow that we should do it. Pilot-less aircraft and robot insects buzzing around the free air space are at least two of these “somethings”. I do not believe anything that any government agency is spouting about how much good the drones can be to us. And I do not think that the use of drones can be voted out of existence by the people at large by a ballot box or a show of hands. So I pray that I will never encounter a state piloted drone. If I am not so blessed, a decision must be made whether to hide myself or declare open season on it. So my feeling here is, this is another thing not to dwell on too much with “group think”. If a drone infestation occurs in a given area, let the local folks deal with it as they see fit. Just be careful. Extreme caution is advised.

FEMA Camps

There is much evidence that FEMA or some other federal government entity(s) is constructing and setting up fenced off building complexes throughout these united states. These are purportedly for housing illegal aliens or to shelter the people at large in case of a national emergency. Or else their existence is totally denied. Well this rhetoric is highly suspicious of course and reminiscent of similar “camps” from another part of the world many years ago. If you are all prepared for a TSHTF scenario, have informed everyone about what you know and still have some time on your hands, then blather on about this topic also if you want. I personally have more important things to do. Again, this is another thing that we must be aware of and take whatever action is required to prevent being a guest in one of these facilities (unless of course you want to be a guest there). But we have no power to stop what they are doing other than refusing orders, draw our “line in the sand”, and be ready if they try to cross over it.

“Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.” Mathew 10:16

“Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.”

Joel 3:10

Fluoride and other Water Contaminants

“Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.”

Proverbs 5:15

It has been proven by numerous sources that fluoridated water is a poison to people and adding this chemical to our water supplies is a very bad idea. Is it a deliberate and malicious act by the state at any level? Well, I don’t know. There is much buzz about it and conspiracy theories abound. Anyone who has the spare time (do you have everything prepared for a TSHTF scenario and such?) can continue to research the topic and blather on about it. It is possible I suppose that a local community could petition their local government or “town fathers” to stop putting toxic chemicals into the water. One would have to be prepared for a battle however as there are many years of a precedent for putting certain chemicals into local water treatment plants. Me, I drink well water or bottled water.

Global Warming/Climate Change

“… When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red”

Mathew 16:2

“And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?”

Mathew 16:3

I once watched a  “webinar” concerning “global warming”. Several interesting points were made:

1. Does “global warming”/climate change really exists? (It does actually, it use to be called “cyclic changes in the weather”.)

2. If there is some abnormal earth warming going on, is this a bad thing? How many people actually love cold and snowy winters? Would it not be nice to grow fruit and vegetable all year around?

3. Is modern man the cause of it? (Actually man has little to do with the natural cyclic climate changes.

4. Can any government entity or mankind in general do anything to change it? Would a “carbon tax” be a magical fix? Note that the standard action of all government entities in reaction for any problem is to form new agencies with a three-letter acronym and throw lots of money at it. And if the new agency does little good the answer is to throw even more money at it. And of course they get the money by stealing it from us through taxes, fees, and fines or borrowing it.

5. Based on my research as an amateur, the climate of the earth goes through some natural periodic changes.

Mankind and God’s creatures along with creepy things have thus far been able to adjust and adapt to climate changes when they occur. Al Gore and his BS were not required in the past and they are not required now nor will they be in the future. The whole “Global Warming/Climate Change” movement is just more left-wing political BS to be shunned or laughed at. Whichever you prefer. (God may be laughing I would guess).

“He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.”

Psalm 2:4

HAARP

“HAARP” is an acronym for High frequency Active Auroral Program. Some unbiased and detailed information about it can be found here.

There is a lot of buzz on the internet that the government is using HAARP to control the weather. Some conspiracy theorist have attributed the HAARP program to recent hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes and the like. I did not list any Internet links here. Just do an Internet search on “HAARP” and your computer may explode with information. Good and bad information abound.

If any of the conspiracy theories have any truth to them, it is a very scary thing indeed. Is it true? I do not know. If true, I myself or a thousand others do not have the power to do anything about it. This is another thing that I am putting my trust in the Father in Heaven to protect His people from the evils of some men if He so chooses.

“He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.”

Psalm 2:4

Illuminati

This is yet another topic that everyone should know about. But once you know, short of informing others, it isn’t worth discussing. These united states have been under the virtual control of an oligarchy (or “illuminati”) for many years now. I do not believe that any amount of discussion on a “local” level can do anything to change this. (Keep “politics” local).

Obama

“The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof”?
Jeremiah 5:31

Whatever the story is as to how and why this man came to be president for at least four more years, the fact remains that it is a done deal. Yes the democrats may have cheated in the election. Yes the majority of those who voted for him may think he is some sort of a messiah and should rule these united states forever; and that is a very disturbing thing. (Actually, the majority of eligible voters did not vote at all). Yes he may not be eligible to hold the office of president. Yes he and his administration are usurping the powers granted to them by the U.S. Constitution. But unless and until a majority of our “representatives” take some action, we are stuck with him. We can file all the law suits that we want but it all will come to naught. The judicial system is not about justice anymore. Why are we obeying anyway?

“And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.”

Luke 11:46

“Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered”.

Luke 11:52

My personal belief is that the “dictates” or “mandates” of one man do not determine my obedience to anything. “…we ought to obey God rather than men.” Acts 5:29

“That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;”

Ephesians 4:14

“Obamacare”

(“The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act” (PPACA)”)

It would seem that our only hope with this one lies with any stand and actions that the individual states may take. Hopefully they will draw a line in the sand against this federal intrusion. Individually there is little that we can do to stop this encroachment in our personal lives without facing severe retributions (read punishment) from the federal government (IRS). Some will hate it, some will hail it but “Obama care” is bound to effect everyone who cannot “opt out”of it. So take a stand. I’ve made my decision as many others have. Just pray that our Father will protect us.

State Secession

I have mixed feelings about this one. The current movement promoting any secessions as I write this is commendable and shows that some people in these united states still have some internal fortitude (AKA “guts”). But this did not work in the previous so called “civil war”. That was a bloody and senseless battle. The federal government may now have the military power through technology and brainwashing to easily wipe out all “resistors” in these united states. Will it do so? I do not know. Will it threaten to? Quite possibly. Will a few people simply disappear while others are publicly humiliated, ostracized or criminalized? Yes, quite probably (think “enemy combatant”, “enemy of the state”, “homegrown terrorist” domestic terrorist”, etc). If your opinions are contrary to that of the state and you make yourself known by signing a petition on paper or via the Internet (blogs for instance), you may find yourself on a TSA “no fly list” or be subject to “no knock home inspections”. Just understand the risk and act as you see fit. I believe that this is a topic that everyone should be aware of but not one to discuss in depth and at length UNLESS there are some serious actions being considered by a given group of people.

“…, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.”

Mathew 10:16

Taxes (Income, Property Tax, “Fair Tax”, etc)

Progressive taxation is another topic that once it is known about, exhaustive study, speeches, workshops, case studies, etc, are a waste of time in my opinion (unless enough people take a stand for “civil disobedience”). We know that it all is stealing by the state. They can call it “law” if they want to but it is still stealing and wrong to do so. (“Thou shalt not steal.” Exodus 20:15). Take to court any tax issue that you want and may God bless and keep you. You will probably lose. To even have a chance at winning a tax case in court will require lots and lots of money and lots and lots of time.

You may decide to take a stand and peacefully resist this theft. That is what our forefathers did (sometimes not so peacefully). It takes bravery, craftiness, fortitude and whatever else you got to keep from being incarcerated though. I have made my decision. Make yours. Perhaps we will be cellmates and can compare notes on our previous tactics during our stay in the slammer.If you want to now how bad things are and perhaps get some advise, read a book written by Dave Champion entitled: "Income Tax: Shattering the Myth"".
 

“…, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.”

Mathew 10:16

“Third Party” Political Parties

There has been a defacto “third party” for many years now. The “Libertarion Party”, The Constitution Party” are but a few. Some history and statistics can be read here.

They have spent lots of time and money and gave a valiant effort-but to little or no avail. OK, yes some miniscule progress has been made over the years. But at the rate that the third party progresses, the book of Revelation will have been fulfilled before any “third party” candidate is elected for president. The game is rigged. The rules of the “game” can be changed and are changed at anytime during the election process to bring about a desired end result. Anyone who observed the 2012 election will know that there is political backstabbing even within a given political party.

So in my opinion, any discussions or proposed actions about a third party on the federal level is a waste of time. That said, there has been some success with third parties on more local levels (state, county, school boards, etc).

TSA

What can I say? This is another thing that could have possibly been quashed when it first appeared if only enough people had rebelled against it. By literally “cowing” to the obnoxious behavior of this illegitimate agency, the people at large have given a tacit consent for it to continue to exist. And a lack of resistance to the TSA atrocities at this point is allowing the same to continue and grow. Me, I have not been on a commercial flight in over fifteen years. I hope that it never becomes an absolutely necessary mode of travel for me as I will not be very cooperative with the TSA if they step out of bounds with me.

So, be aware of this additional government atrocity and deal with as you feel you must. I just do not think that there is any peaceful and safe manner of fighting it other than staying out of airports. Again, there does not seem to be much hope using the judicial system.

UN

Yes, these united states of America should resign from this institution and definitely stop funding it. It seems that the precepts and agendas of this organization are antithetical to the original concepts and governmental constraints that formed our country (these united states of America).

It is another item that cannot be fought safely on a local level. So I for one do not wish to discuss or shout about it in any meetings of local people who are trying to address other issues. Anyone who wants to protest about the UN should start a blog and/or go to seminars.

“Zionism”

I do not hear a whole bunch about this in local meetings so I hesitate to even bring it up. “Zionism” has been referenced with the “illuminati”. I’ve also heard that anti Zionists are Jew haters. And there is a whole plethora of “mischief” the Jews are purportedly doing around the world. Is any of it true? I do not know. Dave Champion has presented some interesting points concerning Zionist and Jew haters on his radio program. The archives can be heard here and another here.

Anyway, this is another issue that I feel does not belong in local meetings of local patriots.

Summary

There are numerous issues that I did not mention. I started this article in 2014. Since then the encroachments, lawlessness, and insane actions by government entities have grown. The point that I wanted to make in this article is that some things are out “the common people’s” power to change. Yes there is much outrageous mischief going on that angers us and perhaps makes us fearful. We must select our battles carefully and deal with problems mostly on a local level. To paraphrase something that Coach Dave Daubenmire once said: You can’t play in the Super Bowl (Washingon DC) unless you have first won some games in high school and college ("local politics").

We must continually pray to God for strength, guidance, and hope. We must not get excited about all of the nonsense and just take the right path and stand our ground. And most importantly, sometimes we should just defy the bastards.
