There are 4 stages to a non-violent takeover of a country or large organization:

(1) Demoralization
(2) Destabilization
(3) Crisis
(4) Normalization

Demoralization is the longest stage. When it takes place, the fabric that holds a country together begins to tear.

It then causes blindness so that people within the country begin to have differing world views.

It then causes division because people with differing world views are at some degree of enmity with each other, so they begin to believe that the other is the cause of the country's problems.

The division then enables the real enemy to invent harmful "solutions" (drugs, welfare, socialism, etc.) to "solve" the problems, and these solutions are only acceptable to a demoralized ("blinded") populace.

The real enemy then gains control of the economy and major infrastructure, information (media), and eventually the military.

They then cause a major destabilization, a crisis, and then they finally "normalize" the country after the crisis with their new system in place; A system that ensures that they keep and hold power.

None of this would be possible if the first stage wasn't implemented:

Demoralization.


Just as the purity of a metal is indicative of its strength, purity is personal strength, and we can regain that purity through Christ, if we truly believe.
