Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Thank you for reminding me of a great hymn. Part is:
“Jesus paid it all. All to Him I owe.
Sin had left a crimson stain.
He washed it white as snow”.
Amen.
Hi all,
Genesis 3:22 (The Bible Verse on the Skull & Bones Insignia):
And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever.
I figure this is a good place to post this, if not all apologies. Identifying a problem is the first step to solving it. What follows is one problem among many I am workign to solve. With that in mind – your attention for a few minutes is quite appreciated.
It should come as no surprise to those here that Satan holds the world in his grip, but I sometimes wonder how aware most are of just how firm that grip is.
Enter DARPA – an opaque rabbit hole of unspeakable evil financed by the apathetic graces of the American tax payer. As society and morality – the glue that binds society together – have steadily deteriorated over the years via machinations from the Davos crowd, their puppet-masters, and even DARPA itself, ever more disturbing creatures have poked their heads from that hole – shedding ever more light on their black budget programs.
Meet DARPA’s transhumanism agenda. The following is a list of various internet article clippings I’ve compiled on this topic. For the uninitiated, these may be eye opening. This list by no means a comprehensive study of DARPA’s full agenda nor is it complete for the topic it covers–I have more to add and plan to do so at father time’s indulgence.

Are you familiar with the works of Dean Koontz?
Maquis, he is a horror writer, correct? I read about a fourth of ‘Strangers’ as a teenager never finished it.
Why do you ask? Does he write about the topic discussed in the OP?
In Koontz Jane Hawk series, the books are about a group of “scientists” and government leaders who inject nanobots into certain people that form a web (like a spider web) on peoples brains that can be used to control them.
Ah, interesting, thanks.
I’m becoming more and more convinced that most entertainment these days is nothing more than the pied piper of the New World Order.

Griever, Koontz has long covered much of what would fall under the rubric of Technocracy, or Technarchy if you will, and is a master of exposing the loss of humanity such creates. As freakish as some of the stories are, I regard him as a highly spiritually insightful author, and one always comes away edified.
Some of us are familiar with Dean Koontz.
Remember this one from 1981?
Yippers. I read all Koontz writes. It may be considered horror as Griever noted, but he explores and promotes humanity in a way few can. I had just submitted this in response to your post on the self-sabotaged trials post, referencing the story that Booger cited above:
Dean Koontz is a prophet. A lover of the human soul and seer of inhuman depravity.
His latest story, told over the course of several books, details a conspiracy using a mind control mechanism using nano-particle technology injected into it’s subjects in three doses that subsequently self-assembles in the brain. Parallels abound.
Quelle un monde, n’est-ce pas?!
“It should come as no surprise to those here that Satan holds the world in his grip, but I sometimes wonder how aware most are of just how firm that grip is.”
Not very, I’m afraid. That Satan holds the world in his grip would come as a big surprise to the “God wins!” God’s got this!” crowd that confidently equates the West’s victory with God’s victory.
It is a self-centered worldview unable to imagine anything less.
But your statement is Biblical. You didn’t quote it, so I will:
“The whole world lies in the grip of the evil one” (First John 5:19).
P.S. Yes, God does “win” in the end, meaning that evil and the evil one will be vanquished at the return of Christ at His Second Coming to earth. But we and our respective nations will be long gone by then.
Your comment is not lost on me, my friend.
One of the most basic lessons is , God helps those who help themselves—a lesson lost on most it would seem. Those who would rather have faith in God saving them than lift a finger to save themselves.
I run into this all the time sadly, which is why I am here to hopefully awaken some to what is occurring all around them so we can put a stop to it.

THE CROSS IN PRAYER
“At that day ye shall ask in My name.” John xvi. 26
We are too much given to thinking of the Cross as something we have to get through; we get THROUGH it only in order to get into it. The Cross stands for one thing only for us – a complete and entire and absolute identification with the Lord Jesus Christ, and there is nothing in which this identification is realized more than in prayer.
“Your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask Him.” Then why ask? The idea of prayer is not in order to get answers from God; prayer is perfect and complete oneness with God. If we pray because we want answers, we will get huffed with God. The answers come every time, but not always in the way we expect, and our spiritual huff shows a refusal to identify ourselves with Our Lord in prayer. We are not here to prove God answers prayer; we are here to be living monuments of God’s grace.
“I say not that I will pray the Father for you: for the Father Himself loveth you.” Have you reached such an intimacy with God that the Lord Jesus Christ’s life of prayer is the only explanation of your life of prayer? Has Our Lord’s vicarious life become your vital life? “At that day” you will be so identified with Jesus that there will be no distinction.
When prayer seems to be unanswered, beware of trying to fix the blame on someone else. That is always a snare of Satan. You will find there is a reason which is a deep instruction to you, not to anyone else.

Sam The Sham And The Pharaohs top the Cashbox Best Sellers list with “Lil’ Red Riding Hood”, a #2 hit on the Billboard chart. A week later, the RIAA will certify it as a Gold Record, with sales exceeding one million copies.
August 6, 1981
Stevie Nicks released her first solo album, “Bella Donna”, which contained the singles, “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around” (with Tom Petty) and “Leather and Lace” (with Don Henley).
I am always fascinated by the editing choices in music videos. Especially band videos. Everybody knows what is going to be played and when. Rehearsals, multiple cameras, multiple takes. There should never be an excuse for showing the wrong guitar during a solo, yet it happens a lot. Or a lot of the older vids only show drummers when tamely marking time, not when the drummer gets to whale a little.
This Nicks video does give each artist their due, but goes with the default of showing the stars when they are singing.
The live ‘done with bonaparte’ video shown recently has knopfler directing by his focusing on the artist. also for timing. the audience sees who to watch. With rehearsals, there is no excuse for camera men and directors, but he leaves them no choice in the matter. But best of all, he shows a joy of making music with others. A joy in their contribution.
Stevie and Tom have this joy too. You see it all the time in ‘Darryl’s House’. Contrast that with the start of the sixteen tons video above. Carefully choreographed and practiced smiling attention to the starting musician. just doesn’t seem real until they get to participate too.

BE MY VOICE
PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow, that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, amen.
