Caitlin, I was reading your page about you. You said the following in number 3: I see the US-centralized oligarchic empire as the primary enemy of human thriving.

Hopefully, you're going to be reading the book I suggested by William Guy Carr, Pawns In The Game.

Anyhow, to help you understand the U.S. a little bit better, I would have you read the article in the New York Times about the Net Cap Rule Change that occurred in 2004. The article was written in 2008. The 2008 Credit Crisis - Great Recession - (I prefer the word HEIST) was coordinated in Basel, Switzerland. The current pandemic caper was planned about 200 miles away in Geneva, Switzerland at the WHO.

We're in basic agreement. I'd prefer to put it this way regarding number 11: I’m happy to work alongside you. Fighting is what the propaganda, number 4, causes the world to do.

Jesus gave the ultimate advice in John 13:34-35 and 17:20-23. If you put love on one end of a spectrum, fighting and hate would be on the opposite end. In 13:34-35 Jesus said: by this, they will know that you are my disciples if you love one another. Consequently, treating the opposing side in a loving, non-accusatory way, will likely produce better outcomes and in so doing it will be plain to see the 13:34-35.

With regard to all the wars, and they've been going on for thousands of years, what I prefer to take away from this ugly period in world history is that the world is being taught the opposite of John 13:34-35. The world is being taught the futility of opposing John 13:34-35. Jesus knew that his word would be manipulated by putting words in his mouth in addition to his own to make him more like the depiction of God in the Old Testament. That's what John 16:7-15 is all about. When the world learns that there is a consequence for opposing John 13:34-35, read John 12:47-48, on their last day, that their non-loving actions or manipulations of others to undertake un-loving actions have consequences, our work will be easier and be successful.

What this ultimately means is that our work should not seek to punish people for their past actions, as this will be counterproductive in opposition to 13:34-35. On a persons last day, if they've rejected Jesus' actual word and Jesus, they will judge themselves.

For some, it will be a very unpleasant time. There are many people who think they are good Christians, who will judge themselves because they believed words put in Jesus' mouth he didn't say and they rejected Jesus. You see, John 5:24 says "hear my word," which means you're going to read a lot of words, some will be mine and some will not. History is written by the victor typically, but in the case of Jesus words, many people on the Sanhedrin secretly believed in Jesus. Openly supporting Jesus could be a literal death sentence and most certainly an economic death sentence. And besides, Jesus told the leaders if they believed in him, their sins, voting to have him executed, wouldn't be held against them on their last day. He did this so they would be in a position to put his words in the New Testament along with all the words they would put in his mouth to make him appear like the depiction of God in the Old Testament. That's why Jesus was sending the Holy Spirit Advocate, to straighten out what Jesus' words were and were not.

Now how does a Christian reject Jesus when they profess to believe in him? Well, recall Jesus said he is in the Father who sent him and that the Father is in him. In fact, Jesus said looking at him was looking at the One who sent him. He said he is in everyone and they are in him. 17:20-23 is a prayer that ALL will realize that each person you look at has your spirit in them and has Jesus in them; therefore, rejecting someone because of the color of their skin, their past mistakes, their sexual orientation, etcetera, is not an excuse for rejecting them because Jesus is in them. When Christians finally learn this, UNITY will be possible and will happen. We're almost ready for unity.
