It seems while we are fighting our way through a pandemic of Covid there is a greater pandemic we should be more aware of and concerned about.  When I heard President Trump echoing the statement “fake news” during his tenure in office, I used to think the guy was taking this too far.  I thought the news business had to do their job just like we did ours.  However, I became more alert to listening and trying to see how much I could pick up on the “fake news” myself.  I have to say that after over a year of digging through facts on news stories, I am convinced the way they spin it is taking a true story on an important issue and making it deceptive or false.  They tell the news with mostly facts about an accident or shooting but even those they try to spin a little of their persuasion into it. If it is a shooting, they will try to put in something that so and so feels gun control could have prevented this shooting.   They spin a narrative to make the readers believe a certain way.  This is very effective in brainwashing and manipulating a population to a certain vein of thought.  I have also heard that all the major news companies in the world are owned by six companies which really means all news companies are under the control of those six companies. So, those six owner  companies play the same song and dance for each news outlet.   This is very troubling when we thought we were living in a country that championed freedom of the press when in fact the press is totally controlled by a few people.  Then it is not a free press at all but a controlled press.  News companies like Rebel News surface for a time but they are so censored and restricted that the population is subject to a steady diet of “fake news”, unless you have the time and discipline to find truth.   

I have learned that there is a pandemic or virus happening in our nation that is far more serious than Covid – and that is socialism.  Socialism is an ideology that says government has the answer to everything and when it is joined with the ideals of humanism, the ultimate end for man is the happiness of man.  You might say: What is wrong with that?  but every time it has been tried socialism has ended in colossal failure and usually accompanied with death to millions of people. Venezuela is the most recent example of the failure of socialism.  Do you realize that a few short years ago Venezuela was one of the richest economies in the world? Now it is one of the poorest with almost half of its population fleeing their country as refugees.  The remaining population is facing starvation.  Crime is out of control with a very corrupt police force and judicial system not protecting anyone except those in control.  I fear Canada is not far away from the same destiny if we stay on this present path of government controls, government printing money and giving it out like water.  Today’s government control under the guise of health care is simply taking us down a path we are going to regret someday if we do not stop it.  

The other thing about socialism is when we follow the path of socialism it has a bitter end.  The father of socialism is Karl Marx. Marx was brought up in a religious home, studied law, later becoming a revolutionary.  He confessed that he believed there was a God but he had a deep-seated hatred toward God.  He called the Christian  religion a vile curse to the land and it was his objective to wipe it totally out of society. Marx’s socialistic theories were based on a fundamental belief in the existence of God but a hatred and opposition to everything God has taught.  He was an enemy of God and of the Bible, thus he was on the side of Satan.  

Socialism, one of the religions of Satan designed to destroy, is like many of the anti-Christ religions of the world. John 10:10, speaks of the “thief” or Satan: The thief comes not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I [Christ speaking] am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. 

Socialists are not atheists but they are anti-Christ, anti-Bible and anti-biblical authority.  Karl Marx was a cheerleader for the devil and so are many who are pulling the strings in this present generation.  If you look at what has been going on in Davos, Switzerland, for the last few years you will learn who they are.  Karl Marx’s ideologies are becoming more evident in trends in the news.  It is a social policy opposed to a democratic society. We need to understand it so we can stand against it. I have some news for those on the side of Karl Marx and that is you are all going to lose in the end, along with great regrets that you followed his ideology.   

One objective of Socialism is to cancel everything good and to demolish the foundation of a nation by destroying the heritage of everything we believed to be Canada.  The schools have been working on this for years.  They have removed the national anthem, the Lord’s prayer and the Bible.  It has been a slow erosion that has been taking place slowly but surely for many decades by a subtle unseen force with an agenda.  Today we are seeing it moving much more quickly, like police forces being undermined and replaced.  You see, police forces have to be undermined and replaced with police or military authorities that will do the bidding of the socialist crowd.  We are also witnessing the cancel culture phenomenon of our present day.  These cancel culture issues are creating great divides and eroding the unity of our nation.  The socialist agenda is to create chaos and crisis where, they say, only the government has the solution to the crisis which they created in the first place.  The burning of cities in the USA and the chaos that ensued is all planned and part of the agenda to destroy the greatest bastion of freedom known to man.  Socialists have to destroy the USA for their agenda to be completed. To them, the USA and the laws of freedom and liberty are the only thing standing in the way of global dominance and control. 

We need truth to prevail today or it will soon be too late.  Truth is truth and truth needs to be shouted from the rooftops. Truth will always prevail when it is declared with facts and evidence.   Most of what we are being told today are lies and the media is cooperating with these lies, taking our country down in ashes.  The ones who are doing it, who are supposed to be working for the good and protection of Canadians, are actually not concerned about our health or our future.  Most are blind leaders hoping it is all going to get better someday, but it will not get better without a revolution of truth and leadership happening in the old tried and proven paths of right and wrong.  I am afraid when they do wake up it will be too late.   

Dietrich Bonheoffer was a Lutheran pastor in Germany before and during WW2, who tried to warn Germany about the Nazi’s evil agenda.  Most did not listen until it was too late to stand.  They were more concerned about saving their own skin and future.  Bonheoffer said that if the churches would have awakened sooner, Hitler never would have achieved his evil agenda in Germany, an agenda that caused so much death and misery for the entire world.  I, too, think a country gets the government and leadership it deserves. It could be that we are only reaping what we have sowed over the last decades of living for pleasure and selfish lusts and ignoring truth and God.  We have sent our children to godless schools and indoctrinated them in a godless humanism and now are reaping the results.  May God in heaven look on us and grant us once more His mercy and grace before it is too late.  Only He can change our destination as a country.  May His will be done.  I pray many will wake up before it is too late. From the Bible we read:   Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame ( 1Corinthians 15:34).   If my people who are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land (2 Chronicles 7:14).
