The elder/shepherd lives for the flock. It’s how he fulfills the Law of Christ announced at the Last Supper. This is the core of how we glorify Him. The care of the flock motivates everything we do.
If the shepherd gets trapped in his own sense of what is just, he’ll end up harming the sheep. That sort of thing comes from the flesh. That sense of grief and desire for vengeance will destroy the flock and shepherd. Every time he reaches for justice, it must be for the sake of the flock. It is spiritual warfare to turn away from your own sense of offense and grief over loss.
We do not arrogate for ourselves vengeance for what we imagine may be an insult to God. Rather, we always keep before us the care of the sheep. Any action we take is for them. In the near future, I see threats to the flock.
First, a little shop talk. Proton mail’s management has betrayed us. This morning several outlets have noted that the CEO Yen is pushing hard on shifting over to development via AI and is going to fire a bunch of software engineers. The backstory is that Yen says user security and trust is simply not an issue anymore; only the speed of product development matters. You can read about it on 404 Media, but unless you have a subscription there, you won’t get to see the whole article. Also, beware of pop-ups on that page.
I won’t be renewing my Proton account when it comes up in a few months. Instead, I’ll migrate to another service. I’m already using in-house encryption on the account attached to this blog via GPG (ehurst@radixfidem.blog). Yes, you can get GPG for Windows and it’s free. It plugs into Outlook and Thunderbird.
Second is more than just censorship. Tucker compares the Holodomor (Soviet starvation of Ukraine in the 1930s) with the attempts to force the COVID vax on Americans. The reason he reaches for that comparison is because of how censorship covered up the bad outcomes on both.
Don’t blame the doctors and nurses. Their training is completely hijacked by the medical industry (Big Pharma plus related businesses). Medical people are required to memorize a ton of crap that is largely accurate, but biased in favor of what the industry prefers. When Big Pharma came out with the COVID vax, most of the medical professionals were already compromised. Far too many of them have no time or means to do their own research on such things. Their entire profession will attack them for daring to verify patient complaints about side effects.
Yes, folks at the level of Fauci do know. They are wicked monsters who deserve to die. But the vast majority of people working in medicine are dupes. They are owned by the industrial giants.
Thus, the folks who work at clinics and hospitals will never understand our resistance. They will imagine that we are crazy or evil. But the censored results of the mRNA vaccine are leaking out to those willing to listen. We dare not trust the US government again on this issue. No more mandated vax. If they try that trick again, we may need to organize our resistance with others. Protect the flock any way you can. At the least, share the truth about how dangerous it is.
Third is socialism/communism. I’ve already traced where it comes from; it’s native to the West because of the Germanic mythology. Communism is the natural result of feminism, which in turn is a native element of Western Civilization. If anyone in America had any sense, they would have slaughtered the lefties years ago. Now, it’s too late for that; the lefties are here. They will destroy the US.
Biblical Law does not support the right-wing, either, but righties aren’t so much of an existential threat as lefties are. The latter will gladly slaughter us if they cannot capture us under their insane regime of control. The pattern of left-wing government terror was set way back in the French Revolution.
While I can predict that there will be wide variations between various regions of the US in the coming years, the patterns are not yet visible. Nor can I estimate the level of resistance in general, since the American people are notorious for not reacting to even the most egregious assaults any more. Thus, I suggest shepherds keep track of what it’s like where you live. When the pressure from the left begins over the next few months and into next year, we should be begin to see the tactics and maybe the strategy. I’ll address what I see when there’s something to see.
Again, under Biblical Law, nothing is off the table when it comes to protecting the flock.
