I'm seeing people act completely insane over all this and it seems so futile. Look at the Pandemic after wwI, then called the Spanish Flu. Looking at Wiki, 50.000,000 people died from it. Presently, it looks like between 4 and 5,000,000 have died. Some professionals are saying it will be over by the end of 2022. I'm not so sure that I will survive. I've led a full life and feel blessed.

Eh, it gives people something to do. If they holler about conspiracy theories they can feel like they are doing something.

Basically it helps them to not feel so helpless.

Conspiracy theories also help because they involve believing government is actually in control. Sure, we believe government is out to get us, but they actually HAVE A PLAN!

The truth is of course much more dire: The Powers That Be are just ordinary people like us, winging it and hoping for the best, just like we would. :eek: That is scary to even think about, so we're going to hold on to our conspiracy theories because at least we can believe some people in control actually know what they are doing.

Not being a professional Psychologist, it rattles me to see people being all angry and yellie. I was raised with lots of that and still freak out when a man yells.

Do you believe they actually have a plan? I don't.

Every conspiracy theory I've ever heard gives WAY too much credit to The Powers That Be for being smarter and more powerful than they are.

I only WISH government people had a plan. I'd sleep a lot better if I thought they did.

It's a bit like the theory of evolution, those at the top, well 9 out of 10 scientists actually do believe it's real, and therefore teach wholeheartedly the other worldlings that it's true and factual, and they delude themselves and everyone else. Of course it fits there subconscious agenda to denounce God WORD and I don't think most realize this or it wouldn't be called a delusion.

So world leaders may honestly think they are steering people in the right direction for the universal good of mankind and they now want to make woeful men better, and the world a better place. They are emerging from a slumber and now saving the world is a pretty decent notion.

Again funny how it lines up with underming Jesus.

i am speaking of the council on foreign relations, the i b f and world bank, the rockefeller foundation , the club of rome, the davos group. etc..

these are the movers and shakers , they tell the govs. what to do, mainly through the u.n.

I know people get riled up online but I haven't seen people in my day-to-day acting insane on either side. You really have?

You have a point there. Almost all my contact with others is online due to avoiding Covid.

They absolutely do have a plan, they may not all be in complete agreement about their plan details, but they have a plan and they are all being steered by Satan and most don't realize it.
So your wish is actually a reality.

If it were only that, I would have no worries. I know how that story ends. Like the old song says, "There ain't no need to worry about it / If you're born again / I've read the back / Of the book, and we win."

Unfortunately "The Great Eeeeeeevil!" is not the only thing to fear. Incompetence and cluelessness is far more likely to wipe us out.

"Incompetence and cluelessness" Does not rule out a plan.

well not everyone knows what they are doing, even those in power often enough.

the peeps above the govts have had plans for ages. But you dont have to go along with their evil plans when Jesus also has plans to defeat the powers and principalities of the air.


so whatver evil schemes they concoct for their own ends will come to nothing.

when you have the peace that God gives you, theres really nothing to go insane about. If someone you know is fearful, they really need to know the Lord.

It would be nice if people believed God and saw that He is in control. Psalm 2
