The Breastplate of Righteousness

OK so let's take this ideological quest one step further. A lot of Christians have embraced the freedom movement. Many of them have morals. Some don't. There are always wolves in sheep's clothing. Yet as I keep saying you don't need a religion to have morals and the freedom movement is clearly not limited to Christians. We see Sikhs and Muslims join the line expressing their concern with the violation of parental rights in our schools and how the new curriculum is grooming children to change their gender or take fentanyl without their parents consent. This is an attack on morality but it is also an attack on the family and parental rights.

Protecting the family unit and parental rights is a separate conversation all on it's own. Today I want to expand on the Inquiry into Values and talk about righteousness which is the opposite of wickedness. If wickedness never was happiness then righteousness preserves happiness.

Christians like to quote a scripture found in Ephesians 6:10-17 which talks about putting on the whole armour of God. Before we talk about the armour, let's talk about the warning and the objective. In verse 12 it states "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Spiritual wickedness in high places. I think we can all see that.

So it goes on to talk about putting on armour in an allegorical sense to to combat and defend against Spiritual Wickedness in high places so that we may be able to confront that spiritual wickedness and stand against the wiles of the devil. So there's two missions here. One is to confront evil, the other is to not be overcome by evil.

For we have a labor to perform whilst in this tabernacle of clay, that we may conquer the enemy of all righteousness, and rest our souls in the kingdom of God. Personally I am not concerned about resting my soul in the kingdom of God but I am concerned with confronting evil and not being overcome by it. That's where the armour comes in.

I've heard a lot of stories about the courage of the Scottish. They've got a lot of bottle so they do. I think Hitler called them the ladies from Hell because of their kilts and their courage. I heard one Scottish historian claim that sometimes the Scottish would take off their kilts and run into battle naked. That's not a very smart thing to do. You're kind of exposed so you are.

In medieval times the British wore armour in battle. So did the Romans. So did King Saul. King Saul was a big man and his armour was too heavy for David. Personally, I don't wear a vest but if I was a soldier in war I would. It kind of makes sense. So let's examine this allegorical reference to armour as we strive to confront evil and not be overcome by it.

Ephesians talks about the shield of faith wherewith ye may be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. A lot of those fiery darts come in the form of defamation, insults and lies. If we know the truth, we won't be swayed by the lies. Sticks and stones yo.

Faith is the moving cause of action within us. Faith gives us a reason to try. If I didn't have faith the light would go on when I flipped the switch, I wouldn't bother getting out of bed to flip the switch. Martin Luther King said the belief that God will do everything for man while he himself does nothing is not faith but superstition. Faith is a separate conversation all on it's own but a shield in battle is important. Just ask the Romans or the Spartans.

The sword is usually referred to as the sword of truth but in this verse about the armour of God it is called the sword of the Spirit which is also synonymous for truth. For the word of the Lord is truth, and whatsoever is truth is light, and whatsoever is light is Spirit.

Truth is sharper than a double edge sword. You confront evil with truth. You expose lies with truth. The truth will set you free if and only if you wear the breastplate of righteousness because if you walk the path of wickedness, the truth will simply expose you and condemn you. That is why liars hide in darkness but in the darkness, stars shine. Righteousness can be seen. Actions speak louder than words. So the breastplate of righteousness is our last line of defense.

A lot of scriptures talk about warfare and battle in an allegorical way. Our struggle with spiritual wickedness in high places is like being on the battlefield in war. Examining the allegory let's say we're fighting this battle and we get tired. All of us are human. All of us make mistakes and all of us get tired. We become too tired to hold up the shield and we drop it. Now we are exposed. We're too tired to wield the sword any more and it falls to the ground. Now we are completely exposed. The breastplate of righteousness is the last line of defense.

If the scales of justice find that we have been righteous, then the slander and the false allegations will not penetrate the breastplate and we will be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. If we take the breastplate of righteousness off and walk the path of wickedness then we will fall just like all the others around us. Stand true. Walk the walk. Live your faith.

One Order rocking bullet proof patch

The London Free Press is reporting that "An alleged member of a Hells Angels support club was arrested in Southwestern Ontario as part of a police crackdown on the outlaw motorcycle gang. Stratford police arrested Sherwin Anthony “AJ” Jhingoree, 39, on Jan. 11, said OPP Insp.-Det. Scott Wade, the head of the biker enforcement unit. Police allege Jhingoree, a Brampton resident, is a member of the One Order motorcycle club, a support club to the Hells Angels that has chapters in London, Toronto and Halifax."

"Investigators from the biker enforcement unit searched a Brampton home on Jan. 11, seizing a shotgun, a rifle, two imitation handguns, components to make handguns and cellphones. Officers also seized four One Order motorcycle club vests – two of them for London chapter members – including one with ballistic panels embedded in it, police said."

Surrey Snow

City of Surrey snow plow tracker

We're getting pounded with snow right now but it won't last. It's going to warm up tomorrow and rain the rest of the week. Today might be a good day to take a snow day since they're calling for possible freezing rain tonight. Alberta is much better prepared for snow plowing.

There have been some feeble attempts at plowing the roads. I finally saw one contractor in a pick up truck with a shovel on front. That's fine for the side streets but the main streets need the larger snow plows especially when hills are involved. We have about 10 to 12 inches with a lot more on the way. The parking lots have back hoes and bobcats clearing the snow.

CTV is reporitng that "A number of buses became stuck once again, despite TransLink outfitting about one-third of its fleet – or about 500 buses – with winter tires this year." Snow tires on a third of the buses. Wow, that's a first for Metro Vancouer. A third is better than none.

I booked a couple weeks of vacation time because I have strep throat. I'm not riding my bike in this. I'm just chillin like a villain. I'll just wait a day for the roads to clear. CTV also posted a video of cars sliding down a hill in Surrey. Hills can be deceptive in the snow.

All the schools are closed in Metro Vancovuer including SFU and UBC.

Video evidence shows Capitol Police lied about Jan. 6

Glenn Beck is reporting that "Blaze Media has finally secured the rights to release CCTV footage from the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021 - and it's shocking. The timestamped footage tracks the movement of Capitol Police Special Agent David Lazarus, a key witness in the government's trial against members of the Oath Keepers."

"In the trial, Lazarus testified that he witnessed multiple antagonistic interactions between Oath Keepers and Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn. But Blaze Media investigative reporter Steve Baker joins Glenn to discuss what the footage makes clear: Lazarus wasn't even in the same building at the time of the alleged confrontation! So, Glenn and Steve ask, is this enough evidence for a mistrial for the Oath Keepers who were jailed in part due to Lazarus' testimony?"

Morality and the enemy of all righteousness

While we're here let's talk about morality and the enemy of all righteousness. I realize some people don't believe in the devil. I don't care, that's their right. Some people don't believe in God but they do believe in the devil. That's kind of weird but whatever.

My point is we can see good and evil all around us. As I keep saying the title page for the book Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance states "And what is good, Phaedrus, And what is not good. Need we ask anyone to tell us these things?” That says it all.

We don't need a religion to tell us what is good and evil. We can all see it. Sometimes the devil is referred to as the enemy of all righteousness. Let's explore that because he's also referred to as the father of all lies which kind of makes sense. Since we all know what is good and evil, he's going to use lies to try and trick us into embracing evil by portraying it as good.

For example, Communism talks a lot about social justice. Some communists actually believe in social justice. However, other Communists like the WEF use the term social justice as a talking point to further their agenda of universal slavery. After all no one in their right mind would vote to become a slave. Unless of course they want to become a slave owner. That's why they have to misrepresent it and rebrand it. Now let's look at the promotion of drug addiction.

They say drug addiction is a disease. Yeah it is. It's nasty. So why on earth would we want to promote the spread of a disease? Wouldn't we want to treat people so they could be cured of the disease and become healthy? That's what Portugal did. Portugal made treatment mandatory. That's because they care about the well being of the addicts.

Justin Trudeau and the WEF pretend to care about the addicts but when you see their agenda it is clear they don't. Instead of promoting treatment they promote addiction and offer them Medically Assisted Suicide. That is evil and clearly shows their claim for compassion is a lie.

They don't want to help the drug addicts they want to kill them which is part of their depopulation agenda. They also want to promote crime so they can justify their order amidst the chaos quest. The promotion of evil is to justify slavery and this quest is surrounded with lies. As I said in 2023, the struggle between good and evil continues because it's always misrepresented.

Grooming children to change their gender with puberty blockers and castrate themselves without their parents consent before they're old enough to vote is pure evil. Giving children fentanyl without their parents consent is pure evil. Here we see two more prophecies fulfilled. They say in the last days, the grey areas will begin to disappear and the line between good and evil will become clear. Yet they also say many in the last days will be deceived which seems like a contradiction but now we can understand why. The evil is being misrepresented with lies.

So this ushers in the gathering. The gathering of good and the gathering of evil. We need to separate ourselves from the evil and gather where like minds congregate.

Back in the day we had prophets that predicted calamities from wickedness. Now we have seismologists. We all know Vancouver is long over due for a large earthquake. The longer we wait the bigger it will be. Vancouver will crumble, Richmond will sink and Surrey will burn.

The book Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance states that it is an inquiry into values. Morality is what measures our worth. If we have no morals we are worthless. If we aspire to something higher we will eventually find a much better place. Thy mind oh man...

The flip side of morality is immorality. We all know that wickedness never was happiness. There is no happiness in the DTES. Only misery and exploitation. Alan Watts used to decipher Zen. He claimed that the Greek verb to sin literally meant to miss the mark like an archer misses their target. If our goal in life is to find happiness, to sin would be to miss that mark or miss that goal.

Galatians states that the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy and peace. That is the spirit of God or the spirit of Good. The only way we can experience true love, real joy and inner peace is through morality. That's why the enemy of all righteousness is the enemy of all morality. He doesn't want us to experience love, joy or peace so morality matters. That's why it's under attack.

Iran bombs ISIS in Syria

CTV is reporting that "Iran's Revolutionary Guards said they attacked the 'spy headquarters' of Israel in Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdistan region, state media reported late on Monday, while the elite force said it also struck in Syria against the Islamic State."

It's kind of upsetting to see a propaganda piece on Amazon Prime about ISIS when we know the CIA created ISIS and executed the Iranian general responsible for defeating ISIS. ISIS is back and the CIA are behind it to stop the rival pipeline. Dan Dicks went over declassifed documents.

The Times of Israel is reporting that "Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps targeted the Islamic State in Syria in response to a deadly attack carried out by ISIS near the grave of former IRGC commander Qassem Soleimani, Iranian state media reports." An attack near the generals grave? The CIA is trying to provoke a war with Iran. Get rid of the CIA and you get rid of ISIS.

Trump notches a commanding win in the Iowa caucuses as DeSantis edges Haley for second place

The Canadain Press is reporting that "Former President Donald Trump scored a record-setting win in the Iowa caucuses on Monday with his rivals languishing far behind, a victory that reasserted his grip on the 2024 Republican presidential nomination." Big surprise.

Vivek Ramaswamy suspends his 2024 Republican presidential bid and endorses rival Donald Trump. Vivek was a solid, positive candidate. No mudslinging. He just went after the fake news.

Tucker Carlson is reporitng that "Donald Trump's triumph in Iowa last night wasn't just decisive; it was historic. His thirty-point margin of victory was more than double the previous record."

"Despite this, Democrats and the media are still holding out hope that Trump's support will somehow evaporate. It hasn't happened yet, but if you ask them, it still could. And they have a plan for if it does: replace Trump with Nikki Haley. On today's Tucker Carlson Uncensored, Tucker reacts to last night's Iowa caucus, the Left's continued denial of Trump's success, how the rest of the primary may unfold, and more."

RBC Ukraine is reporting that "Donald Trump declared that he is ready to quickly resolve the situation with the war in Ukraine, referencing his speech in Iowa. 'The Ukraine situation is so horrible... And we are going to get it solved very fast,' he said. 'I know President Putin very well, I know Zelenskyy very well, I am going to get him and we are gonna get it solved very quickly. This (war - editor's note) should have never happened,' Trump added." He's right about that.

The Devil in Davos

The way the fake news talks about the WEF meeting in Davos as though it is a good thing is straight out of the Twilight Zone. Davos and the WEF are about Stakeholder Capitalism which is their own twisted brand of Communism. Universal slavery based on fake environmentalism. It's not about Capitalism vs Communism. It's about Freedom vs Slavery.

Alberta power grid under heavy strain from the cold

Thousands without power as B.C. snowstorm continues

A wake-up call: alarm raised over B.C. electrical grid amid plans for natural gas heating ban

CBC is reporitng that "A high risk of rotating power outages has eased in Alberta after an emergency alert was issued on Saturday night. High power demand caused by the extreme cold is putting pressure on the grid, said the emergency alert issued at 6:44 p.m. MT."

"Residents were asked to immediately reduce electricity use to essentials only. The Alberta Emergency Management Agency (AEMA) urged Albertans to turn off unnecessary lights, avoid cooking with a stove and delay charging electric vehicles." AYFKM?

OK let's talk about this how it directly relates to the Net Zero fake environmentalism. Two giant concerns are clearly revealed. The first relates to the insane quest to ban homes heated with natural gas. As we have seen, when cold arctic air causes a drop in temperature people need to heat their homes. If the current grid can't handle the surge now, imagine what would happen if they banned natural gas all together. It would crash the grid and create a huge emergency where people would not be able to heat their homes in the extreme cold. That is not acceptable.

We have heard devastating reports in the past where winter wind storms in Quebec has knocked out power causing seniors to freeze to death in their homes. Heating homes with natural gas prevents that and saves lives. Natural gas is clean burning. Industrial coal is not.

As we prepare for emergencies heating your home in winter during a power outage is high on the list. The other concern is about electric cars. Justan Idiot wants to ban all gas powered cars. If the power grid can't handle the current load of electric vehicles in winter how is it going to handle the greatly increased demand if every vehicle was electric. Already they are saying don't charge your electric car if you don't have to. That is insane.

This opens the door for more government overreach. After banning gas cars, their next step would be to ban you from using your electric car and confine you to a 15 minute city. That is the agenda their fake environmentalism is taking us. Natural gas is cheap and effective. That's why the WEF wants to ban it. So they can created energy shortages and skyrocketing fuel prices.

Wind River on Netflix

I just watched Wind River on Netflix. It's sad, well done and thought provoking.
