Today I received a text from a friend whom I really respect. She told me to not give in to hate. I was stunned. Where, when or how did I do that? The funny thing about text is when someone sends you something really important, you sit and wait in anticipation for their response.
Thank God she responded to my question right away. It turns out one of my posts in our group did stink of hate. It was judgmental. But no one really caught it but her. It was in a post about the elderly being harassed by the BLM. My title was “ Children AND elderly couples harassed!!!!!! By “protestors”. If you’re blood isn’t boiling, then you’re luke warm and will be spit out.”
At the time of typing it, I was angry. Furious! I recently posted a riot near a children’s hospital where a father and his child was trying to get out of the way. The girl was crying and screaming – terrified! I was full of hate. I wanted to steamroll every rioter I could find. And I know I am not the only one.
All of us are angry. We are under attack. Our way of life and our freedoms have been compromised. Since March, the COVID-19 pandemic has riddled us with misinformation and opinion. No one can get a straight answer yet we rely on memes and disinformation to sift through and find the truth. Truth, it seems, is long lost in an abyss of greed, filth and empires. Where do we find comfort?
First, I apologize to my readers for wanting to spew you out of my mouth. That wasn’t my intentions or thoughts. Sometimes we run off of our emotions and that is not professional. But, I am glad it happened. If I didn’t make that mistake, you wouldn’t have come to my rescue. Since we started Take Oregon Back, we have been posting 90% negative and 10% positive when it comes to articles.
This negativity really gets to you. For me, since March, I have been speaking and working with attorneys, campaigners, recall efforts and even militias trying to figure out what is really going on and what I can do to protect me and my family. My efforts have achieved very little. Grassroots movements also take money and that is something I don’t have in large quantities.
To be honest, I didn’t want to do any of this. I didn’t expect the deep state to act on draconian measures so fast. It’s as if the elite have a deadline or something is standing in their way so they went all in with their chips exposing themselves in return. There has been an exodus of people leaving parties, states and even the country due to the overreach.
Because we see most of the information via the fake news agencies, all of the data is apocalyptic. And to make things worse, they are throwing swine flu and another Covid strain at us giving hints that shutdowns and masks are going to be the “new normal”. I don’t have any answers. I only have my research and opinions in which I came to a point of exhaustion.
The happiness and joyful side of me is fading. The peace and comfort that I had, even in a debt world, had been tucked away slowly as my fight or flight mode turned on. Having to stand in dedicated spots, hold in your allergies and put a mask on has brought out an anger I have never seen in me. It wasn’t a good anger.
I know I am not alone. Today I reflected on why I let a small group of thugs with money remove my peace. Last night as I was praying, I heard a still small voice tell me to stop posting all the bad stuff and find articles in Oregon about the good stuff. Then, the very next day, my friend confirmed that I was giving in to the enemy.
You see, whoever the enemy is, wants us to be angry. They want a civil war BEFORE the elections. They are trying to divide us and make us do stupid things without thinking it through. Hence the people driving through protests and the rioters destroying public and private property. And the media is encouraging it. Rooting for their victors as they apologize by offending any on the left.
$100 million dollars was recently given to BLM to continue their Marxist agenda. How long do we have to endure this takeover of our God given freedoms? November? Is that the date when I can have my peace back? My country back? my freedom back? I don’t think so. Trump getting re-elected will not stop this agenda.
The only thing that will stop this madness is war. Too many people on both sides buy into their own arguments. The day of debating is over. The progressive Marxist agenda is perfectly clear. People were indoctrinated and brainwashed far too long to ever get them back.
History will show a new birth of a nation this year. These are its birth pangs. Will it be the old United States and its constitution or will it be the perverted communist nation with more laws and draconian powers eliminating freedom altogether? There’s no in between. We lost that right when we allowed the enemy in.
As for my peace, it comes and goes. As for my anger, I will work on a more Godly anger. One that is angry at the real enemy and not the fools who fell prey to its deception and traps. I’m going to pray more and hold on to the promises of the Bible and what Jesus taught us and what we are to expect.
Do we listen to Henry Gruver, Ken Peters (both men can be found on YouTube by searching their name and the phrase ‘Prophecy Club’) or Dana Coverstone, all pastors who have had dreams of of Russia and China on American soil with eerily the same stories, or do we listen to Mark Taylor and Kim Clement who prophesied that Trump will be re-elected, the swamp will be drained, a debt jubilee, the media will be dead and a new money system called Nesara will happen?
Whatever the outcome, I know that my faith in the Lord Jesus Christ will keep me and my family safe as I am highly favored, mighty and a blessed child of the most high. No plague shall come nigh my dwelling and live. I will put my trust in the Lord even with gritted teeth. I will sing to Him even when I am in prison. As Paul said, “This is but a light affliction.” When it comes to the pain and sorrow of the world.
I hope these past 4 months have shown you who the real enemy is. I hope I gave you enough information to draw your own conclusions and are preparing your house for the coming birth of a new nation. I desire that you find comfort in friends, family and truth as you walk through this valley of the shadow of death. For I will fear no evil. For He is with me. His rod and His staff, they comfort me. I hope you find the same during the uncertain times.

Excellent article, I’ve been so angry, it’s probably a good thing I’ve been put in time out on facistbook. I needed a reminder to have faith, that God had not left us! Thank you! Happy Independence Day!
Hi,
I’m a Portlander on the other side of the political spectrum. I saw your signs out around Sandy and given the federal government occupying and cracking down violently in our state/city, I wanted to see if I could get a deeper understanding of the rest of Oregon’s take on these events. Though they’re all corrupt, I do align more with democrats than republicans, but not because the democrats aren’t horrible. I believe the republican party has shifted so dramatically to the right over the past forty years that its core base in the southern elite is indistinguishable from the old British monarchy or a fascist dictatorship, where a few corporate elites control everything and subject the rest of the country to poverty. It’s effectively a return to slave the economy with a few landed gentry brutally enforcing their will on the rest of the country. And I feel like we’re seeing that with the protest crackdowns and the chemical weapons being used on civilians by the federal military right now in Oregon.
I’ve been struck reading through your blog by just how similar your concerns are to mine and the people I interact with here in what is most certainly a blindly liberal haven. People are pissed off, and the media, on both sides, is doing nothing but intensifying our divisions.
For us, black lives matter is a response to the simple fact that black people have been killed by police and thrown into prisons run by corporate elites for profit in numbers greater than anywhere else in the world, with impunity, and now the federal military is literally teargassing peaceful protesters along with the mayor of a major US city, despite the fact that it is clearly escalating tensions rather than quelling them. The president is an autocrat whose sole motivation seems to be protecting his own interests. Everything he ever says or does seems to be designed only to protect his own interests, and further comes from the hate and anger you’re speaking about here. What does Trump do that Jesus would like? Most importantly, we see an existential, apocalyptic and imminent threat in climate change and believe that drastic action needs to be taken right now to prevent unimaginable human misery, if not the extinction of our race as a whole, and a corporate elite that seems hell-bent on not only not rising to the challenge but on eliminating all environmental restrictions already in place.
Then from your side, you see the black lives matter protesters as radical Marxists yelling that all cops are bastards, that the USA is fundamentally evil, that all white people are racists, that you who are not in our elitist metropolitan bubble are all subhumans who need to put into your place. That we need to shove our secular culture down your throats, snatch all your guns, and wait for the older among you to die out so our demographics can take over and create the Marxist totalitarian government that we so crave.
There are definitely people on the left who think just that. On the other side there are people on the right waving swastika flags and chanting “Black lives don’t fucking matter” in Pennsylvania. The Fox news media shows you only these hateful Marxists, and the liberal media shows us these only these hateful neo-Nazis, and there’s not much crossover for the majority of us who are sinners all and thus sometimes fall into hateful thinking, but generally have souls that want to love and understand. Maybe those two extremists are beyond help. But I have family that voted for Trump, and I know that every single one of you is a being with thoughts and emotions that are as complex and valid as my own. The dominant culture right now is rage and polarization – it impacts you, me, and every single person we know. I have to believe that there is still room for the human compassion and universal love that Jesus called on us all to practice.
I’m so sad that our nation is so very divided, its citizens so angry with one another, and I can see that you feel the exact same thing. I also feel that the nation as it has been can no longer stand, that we are on the cusp of a rebirth, though it’s difficult to say what that will look like. I wish you joy, comfort, and strength as you continue to fight to choose love over hate in the extremely challenging days which are to come. If each of us can see past our differences in experience and find a way to choose love, there is still hope for a better future.
James Varner, It is a breath of fresh air to hear a fellow believer whom has the same emotional experiences that I have had these past 4 years. It is now November 15th and we have confirmation of the Political corruption and Democrats plan of Voter Fraud. Thus our emotions and experiences are correct and there comes a time like Our Lord Jesus said. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. The sword he was referring to was the word of God which Jesus was the living word. In that we as Christians are in a Spiritual war that can possibly turn into a kennetic war in the near future. I will leave you with this my friend. God wins….
Thanks Mike! I appreciate the good words.
Sorry I misspelled your last name. Please correct and here is an enlightening video as to my conclusion of why God wins in America https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=share&v=qeNZJ2aDFRI
Excellent!!!!!
