The New Debt Feudalism

Proper Ancient Near Eastern feudalism was not about real estate or real assets; those things were secondary. The ultimate value was in the people, the retainers and servants who could turn sand and rock into crops and structures.

Western feudalism was about real estate and territorial rights. The people were little more than equipment, intelligent animals which were attached to the land. The modern fiat currency world with debt-based banking is simply an extension, even more dehumanizing. By law in most Western states citizens are first and foremost economic assets, machines with hair, as it were.

The dehumanization of mankind is complete. In the very near future, this will become painfully obvious to those with even a shred of awareness.

I can’t speak for other nations, but in America we have brought this on ourselves. While ostensibly it is just under God’s Laws to resist tyranny, to fight back to preserve your divinely ordered prerogatives, that same cosmic justice requires we now prepare to accept the new yoke of servitude. More than simply the failure of Western Civilization itself, there were numerous points along the way when a thin minority of active citizens could have chosen the better path, and God would have blessed it. I’m referring to the people I know best, the American Christians and all those moments when the churches could have refused to compromise, could have clung to their other-worldly emphasis, and stayed out of politics and social advocacy. They were drawn into a fight which wasn’t theirs.

And there were days when citizens could have refused to tolerate some new encroachment on their liberties to choose what was right. That didn’t happen. There was no single issue, no particular single event we can point to, saying this or that day we went wrong. Any such moment would inevitably be mere symbolism of something deeper. Step by step, those in the position to choose Justice did not, until it was no longer possible. Now we are stuck with the consequences. Demanding your rights will no longer work. We as a nation have chosen slavery, by virtue of refusing freedom.

Christians should refer to my commentary on 1 Timothy 6 in reference to slavery. It won’t be a sin to accept these chains; it would be a sin at this point to fight them. Negotiate your own individual situation as best you can. If you simply cannot bow the knee, feel free to fight and die, but know you will also hurt innocent people. Perhaps you can escape and get away, but don’t expect to carve out some freehold. When the new owners take over the United States, it will all be theirs, and we people will be the machines purchased with the franchise. We are simply part of the inventory.

Not in the sense of embracing all the evil, but I am referring to accepting the justified enslavement in the general shift in thinking necessary to carry on in the future. There will always be things you and I simply cannot do, and we’ll face the consequences when they come. Cosmic justice bends only so far before it breaks. You’ll have to decide for yourself where you must bend and where you must resist. However, the notion we have something called “liberty” worth fighting for is sheer nonsense. The die is cast, and it’s too late for that.

If we will accept this as our just due, and start from scratching rebuilding what we tore down with our own hands, He will prosper our way. I don’t mean restore some fairy tale image of what American Christianity was once supposed to be. I mean restore the ancient biblical ways of living as spiritual tribes of faith. We will be certainly oppressed, and if we organize as we have in the past here in the West, we will simply make ourselves a target. We cannot use the fallen world’s ways of organization if we expect to claim the blessings of God. We must become the Tribulation Church, because the saints of God will tribulate.

This is our punishment, and it is just. Deal with it.
