Let’s keep this on track: The US is utterly and irretrievably evil. You can discern that if you understand God’s Laws within their own context. You can discern that if you can compare the ideals and blather against the real actions and lies. And if you know much about the broader human context and social sciences, you can see the US is doomed, crumbling from within. As a political entity, it cannot be saved.
While I differentiate between the US government and her citizens, that’s not to say the American people are any angels, either. Still, we are talking about the institution of government. It has no moral grounds for expecting anything but hostility from both citizens and foreigners. Anyone who’s paying attention knows the US people as a whole are not in favor of what our government is doing for the most part. No one is surprised that the rest of the world, both governments and citizens, hates the US government, too.
So, it makes little difference whether Wikileaks, Assange, Snowden and Greenwald are red agents of the Ruskies or simply independent agents for transparency as they claim. It’s not as if I’m suggesting Russia is God’s country. I will most certainly affirm Russia’s government is just a bit closer to God’s Laws than ours. That’s not saying much, since ours is so horrendous.
Most modern governments are shot through with vast layers of deception and double-dealing, using front groups, false flag operations, etc. What we see right now is how God Himself is attacking the US by ripping the cover off our filthy psychopathic rulers. His plans for Russia are another matter entirely and I’m not called to prophesy about that. With tens of thousands of actual payroll employees and countless contractors working alongside them, the NSA is too complex to describe as totally evil or good. They do not work for the citizens; so much is patently obvious. Whether they should is another question, but their whole business is deception, so you should never trust anyone who claims to represent their point of view. Their size and power makes them a de facto government in themselves; one of several entangled in what we think of as our federal government. We don’t really have a single government, to be honest. It has nothing to do with the standard partisan theatrics, either.
Nobody is going to reveal the facts. We will probably never know the whole story about any human event so long as we are human ourselves. That’s the whole point of this blog: The most important issue is the moral character of God at work in our world. We are permitted to see only what He shows us individually. I can only tell you what God shows me; I am obliged to share it here even if my eyes are the only ones to see the words. What I see is God’s wrath all over the US as a whole and most folks who come out alive will still have no clue what happened.
