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.


I had a discussion with the class I subbed in just this morning. I asked why 4 of the kids didn't even stand for the Pledge. (They were all "ethnic." It got me going and we had an all out political debate going : ) (Hopefully I'll have a job still : ) I made the point, though, that the issue about Obama is that I hope he does not bring on a world wide Jihad - that this is not about race (and that he is also white!) Its the Muslim issue I worry about - but one of the black kids (If anyone on here is black no disrespect intended) said "the blacks are going to take over." I said, if that is how you look at it, then YOU are prejudiced. I tried to wrap it up by saying no matter what happens what is important is that we stand together as a country....that there are forces trying to take away our sovereignty!!! THAT is what is at stake. I think tomorrow they will all stand for the pledge at least..... (I also made the point that if they were benefiting from living here they should have respect for America no matter what they think of our govt.).
