I have always considered myself to be a strong patriot and citizen of the United States. I am a product of the American system and one who believed in and, more or less, followed the American dream. I love this country and the values it represented, and I appreciate the opportunities it provided to me for most of my life. But, I must confess that I am now disillusioned. You see, I was a boy scout, and earned the highest rank of Eagle scout. I went on to become an officer in the US Army and served on active duty for a few years during the original Gulf War years. I never was assigned to serve on foreign soil, but I had voluntarily signed up to serve wherever Uncle Sam needed me, and I was willing to risk my life, as a good patriot ought, to ‘defend America’ and uphold the values that this nation was supposedly founded upon: the freedom to pursue Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
I also come from a line of patriots who sought out and served the cause of liberty. I can trace my lineage on both sides of my family as having relatives who immigrated to this land prior to the revolutionary war of independence from England. Those brave ancestors of mine were among the early settlers of this land before it was a nation. They were drawn to the promise of liberty. Back then, it was about liberty to live free in a land that didn’t have the burden of governmental interference and control, particularly in the area of freedom of religion. This is not freedom FROM religion, but freedom TO pursue your religious beliefs and to practice that faith freely, without pressure or persecution. That liberty also does include the choice not to hold or practice a religious belief system, but with the understanding that any individual’s practices, or the policies of the government, were not to interfere with anyone else’s free practice (exercise) and expression of their religious beliefs. This was the original promise that life in the new world was supposed to be all about. It was about both the freedom to pursue religion but without the establishment of a state religion – hence the concept of a separation of church and state. This was a new thing available only in a new world outside the kingdoms and religiously based governments of Europe.
I literally have a relative, named John Morse, who was a priest in the Church of England And, though he was a strong believer and practitioner of the faith, he also felt that is was important that an individual be allowed and able to CHOOSE to come to faith in Christ, not to be essentially forced or indoctrinated into it by the state. This is the true purpose of freedom of religion – to be allowed the option to choose to pursue religion of any type without pressure in any one direction or prevention of the free exercise of that option.
What was happening in England at that time was that the protestant Church of England was the official state religion of England. Whether you liked it or not, the Church of England’s beliefs were imposed upon you if you lived in that country in terms of mandatory education and many other aspects of your public and civic life. It is not much different from how Islamic beliefs are incorporated and indoctrinated into the people who live in many Muslim countries on earth today.
But, my great, great, great, great, grandfather John Morse felt so impassioned about the idea that a decision to be a Christian must be an act of free-will choice, that he taught, preached and lobbied in favor of that freedom of religious practice in England. But, this got him into legal trouble with the state. He was told to stop teaching on this, but like Martin Luther, he refused to be silenced, and the state locked him up in prison for it. His wife had passed away a few years prior and he had two children he was raising. But, he felt so strongly about this belief that he chose prison over liberty and to stand firm on this point. Some concepts are worth going to prison or dying for.
Fortunately, God had a great plan for his life and made a way for him where there appeared to be no way forward. Because he had two orphaned children with no one to raise them properly, the court had ‘leniency or mercy’ on him and offered him a choice: Either he could recant his statements and be freed to live and raise his children; or if he refused to recant, he could be freed to raise his children but only if he would leave the nation of England and travel to the ‘new world’. His captors in authority probably thought of this as a form of exile and potential punishment and even a death sentence because such a voyage and life in uncharged and uncivilized territory was very dangerous.
They probably assumed he would cave to the pressure and compromise his ideals and recant – just shut up and go along to get along. (Can we think of any other more recent demands from the government where the choice was deliberately put upon people to make some very difficult decisions that would lead to hardship and the powers that be were hoping people would just shut up and go along with the mandated to get along?)
But John Morse made that bold choice – to stick to his beliefs and take the risk and opportunity that God had provided and he immigrated to an area a bit north of the new settlement they called New York. That area later went on to become the town of Meriden, Connecticut and to this day, there is an Episcopal church in Meriden that was founded by that brave relative of mine. His remains are buried under that old stone church. I visited it with my family as a child but it was only decades later that I really came to appreciate the amazing story of one man who chose to boldly stand on principle and risk everything for God’s truth and to fight for liberty – religious liberty. And he held these truths so dear that he was willing to risk his life for them. Now that is patriotism – but patriotism not to a mere nation state, but to an idea and a truth. God’s truth.
That is the kind of patriot I am and want to be today, not necessarily a patriot of any given nation but one who holds true to the highest authority in the land – God’s authority. I once agreed to fight and die for this nation, but I would not agree to that today. Because I now see that the ideals that were supposedly the foundation upon which this nation was founded are no longer present today, or they are being stripped away by the very people placed in power supposedly to uphold those rights.
So, what happened and what am I saying? I am simply raising the question for you to consider and decide: Has liberty or freedom been inverted in the United States and elsewhere around the globe? For that matter, is the liberty we thought we had real or was it an illusion? And what is my ultimate hope for liberty?
And my answer is: Yes – indeed, our freedom has been inverted and it has been an illusion or rather a temporary situation for most of our nation’s history.
What do I mean by that? I have a conspiracy theory – but it is really conspiracy science because my thoughts are based on observable data, so it is not some hair-brained theory as the people who coined the term ‘conspiracy theory’ would seek to use as a way to discount the views of anyone, like me, who voices an opinion or a truth that runs counter to their narrative and agenda. But this is my conspiracy science observation:
Our freedom is an illusion.
If you have been reading my other articles, you know I like movie references – because often times movies paint a very vivid picture that bears a striking or strong metaphorical resemblance to reality. And, sometimes, movies are deliberately filled with images that are designed to show us aspects of the forces at work behind our reality that are real. When the powers that be produce such movies, it is called predictive programming. So, referencing scenes in movies can be very helpful to illustrate what is actually happening or at least get an idea across.
The movie titled “The Matrix” is one of those highly illustrative movies. Perhaps the most famous scene is near the beginning where Morpheus meets with Neo and offers him the red pill or the blue pill. He explains that taking the blue pill will simply put him back to sleep – back into the world of illusion that has been pulled over his eyes for his entire life. But, if he chooses to take the red pill, it will allow Morpheus to serve as a guide to open Neo’s eyes to the actual reality that he is living in or under.
Neo, of course, chooses to take the red pill and what he is shown is that the world he has known – the life he has lived where he wakes up, goes to work, pays his taxes – is actually all an illusion. In this movie, it is a computer program referred to as “the matrix” that is literally fed to his brain. He learns that the freedom he thinks he is living out is all a simulation and that in reality, he is a slave, and his actual physical body is literally connected to the matrix by a set of cables and encased in a small prison cocoon. But his mind is allowed to operate in a virtual reality to give him the perception that he is free.
There are so many directions I could take just this one scene from this movie to explain many different truths that are happening in our world. But for now, I want to focus on the idea that the masses are all asleep and enslaved. They have been fed the illusion of freedom, but in reality, are enslaved. The world they inhabit is actually a facade. This raises the question as to what is the purpose of such a system of illusion? The answer lies in the fact that the humans are much easier to control and harness if they think they are free and so the ties that bind them are all hidden from view. Better to let them think they are free so they will not protest or resist, rather than to try to impose their confinement while they are aware of it. The human spirit is designed to resist slavery and imprisonment. So, it is better for evil to make them think they are free, when in reality they are in a prison of sorts.
This principle applies to individuals and to entire nation states. And it applies to the physical world and the spiritual world we inhabit. Satan always wants to steal and kill and destroy and imprison us in a web or trap in this world that will seal our fate and lead us to our own death and destruction.
Wrap your mind around this: What if our freedom has been inverted?
What if we are all really in bondage and the talk of freedom – the American constitution, the celebrations on Jul 4, the constant call to vote and to serve in the military as our patriotic duty, and the various ways the establishment celebrates and honors the lives of those who sacrificed for the cause of freedom – like the Memorial Day holiday, Veterans Day, Flag day, heck even Thanksgiving and Labor Day has elements of patriotic celebration and appreciation in them – what if these all have been a massive psychological operation played out over decades and centuries?
We Americans have been steeped throughout our schooling and civic groups to be proud of our freedom and our heritage and eager to do our part and serve to protect our freedom. And for a while this was or seemed to be true. We were told freedom isn’t free. And I was no different – as I said earlier, I was a proud product of that system and I bought into this model or system. The appeal plays upon your natural sense of honor and duty.
But I have come so see that we are no longer really free or and the freedoms that have been extended to various people groups around the globe have really only been allowed and allocated within a relatively narrow range of allowable freedom / thought depending on what country we happen to live in.
We need to wake up to the reality that there is indeed a global force that is and has been acting as a hidden hand governing the affairs of our world and that has a specific end goal in mind. And it isn’t for our liberty as we have been lied to and told to believe – it is actually the opposite. Liberty inverted is slavery to a one world order system.
The Hidden Hand –
The hidden hands of global power have started to be less hidden and more obvious, especially in retrospect. Just who do and what do you think is behind the global powers that are embodied in the United Nations, the World Economic Forum, The G7, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Bilderberger group, the Rockefeller family, Blackrock, etc.
Or how about this? What if we never really broke away from the crown in London? What of the monarchy and the group of nations sometimes called the 5 eyes? I know that sounds completely unthinkable. But look at things today. Is America, or any of the 5-eyes countries really free of England and independent? The 5 eyes countries are all former colonies of England, and they all have cooperative agreements under which their governments work together and share intelligence. I’m talking about the UK, the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
Like a hive mind that is inter-connected even though on the surface they are portrayed as independent nations. Did you notice how they all worked in concert during the plandemic; and yet how they all still give homage to the monarchy? Research Prince or rather King Charles and all of his roles, titles and ‘accomplishments’. Is he merely a figurehead or a real global power?
Look back at world history.
If you were the ruling elites of a few centuries ago – which was the easier path for them to take – attempting to be like Rome and truly fight to have global domination under your own name OR exercise a kind of hidden control and let each nation operate under the illusion that they are independent, thought you still control them in ways that are not obvious? The easier path to rule the world is to do it quietly and from the dark corners – where the ruling elite stay anonymous and protected but they still pull the strings of power and almost of destiny. What if these influential people simply control the masses with a hidden hand – by controlling their banking system, their communication channels, and then their international relationships, activities and governing bodies? This is not a ‘what-if’ scenario, it is ‘what is’.
These powers learned from the collapse of the original Roman Empire and in many ways are a revived Roman empire. They saw how hard it was to maintain control over all these various people groups by brute force to keep them all in line with Roman authority. Likewise, later in history, the colonial empire of England started to suffer from the same challenges that Rome did when it had become a global empire – they also struggled to maintain control over all their colonies. There was a time when it was probably nice that the English empire could brag that ‘the sun never sets on the British empire’ (because they controlled nations all around the world). But eventually the various people groups wanted different things and their own self-identity and resented colonial rule over them – this made keeping the empire together a difficult challenge.
So, what did this revived Roman Empire do? – it went underground. What if they became the hidden hand that controls the other nations covertly? What if it was easier for them to step back from the public limelight – and let each nation manage itself – to an extent. It may keep the useless eaters happier and less likely to revolt, but they could still exert control by more sophisticated means – mind control, media control, phycological operations, false flag events leading to war and other major catastrophes.
God and Babel:
God was the one to divide people groups by language and tribe into various nations – he probably had good reason to do so. Apparently different nations and languages makes for a more harmonious and less globally dominated world. But the evil ‘powers that be’ have always been focused on controlling the whole world. They have been trying to recreate the city and Tower of Babel ever since the Lord decimated it. This reveals who is really behind all this central power grab – it is not merely the Roman, or the English, or the Germans, or the globalist elites of our day – it has been Lucifer’s goal from day 1 of his exile from his dwelling place with God down to this foreign land we call earth. He too was probably given a choice. Recant and repent or be exiled out of the kingdom of heaven to a new world. Lucifer chose to rebel and he fell, as did a third of the angels and they took that ‘opportunity” to set up shop here on earth. And this is the world we were born into, Neo, a world you cannot fully see, but it is real. We also are slaves to sin and evil, unless we become like Neo – which means ‘new’. We must take the red pill, follow the narrow path and become the new man.
What stirred this essay and what evidence can I present? That could take many essays to fully answer but let me at least give this example.
If you watched Tony’s recent show on “A Minute to Midnite” episode #511 titled “One World Under the UN and WHO – complete with weaponized justice system” he actually gave plenty of examples ranging from the history of many of America’s physical landmarks like the inspiration behind the UN Building, the original World Trade Centers and the process by which the ‘powers that be’ brought about the destruction, (chaos) and then the rebuilding (order out of chaos) that replaced the symbolic two pillars of power (Strength and Beauty) and transformed it into a single obelisk of inverted pyramids we know as the one world trade center in New York City. The levels or freemasonry symbolism are off the charts in that sequence of staged events alone. We could spill plenty more ink reviewing the origins of New York City, Washington DC, the statue of liberty, and on and on. This nation had a massive amount of globalist freemasonry influence, not necessarily at its pre-revolutionary origins, but certainly during the stages of the fight to become independent and become a ‘sovereign nation’, to at least appear to be independent. George Washington and many of the founding fathers, and many of our leaders since then, have all been freemasons. They played a huge part of creating the foundations and ideological underpinnings of the nation.
And it is these underpinnings, like the ideas behind freemasonry and Luciferianism themselves that were like all couched in double-speak – they are lies and deceptions. They say one thing publicly and seek to deceive the masses, so that they can really be about the opposite thing.
The truth, Neo, is that they established a system, a Matrix if you will, using their education and communication systems of indoctrination, and placed people in high offices who would do their bidding when called upon. This has been a slow and steady process, and they simply remain underground and pretended to extend freedom to the various nations of their former kingdom – knowing all along that they still controlled the strings of the economy, the politicians, the judiciary, the medical establishment and the military.
What is changing today is that they are not hiding it very much at all. Probably because the trap is so well set, and the globe is already so much under their control, that they think it cannot slip out of their hands. Resistance is futile. And I think they are correct in that assessment. There is no hope in any earthly or human way to expose and overthrow this matrix of control. Our only hope is not in changing the world, but in pointing individuals to Christ who has provided the escape path. We want to wake people up to the reality of the global situation.
The whole world lies under the power of evil
The idea that the whole world indeed lies under the power of evil and that there is only one solution – faith in Jesus Christ. That is the way, that is the only way and that is the pathway the Lord has always been pointing to. He is the way, the truth and the life. We are born into a world at war so we can see the evil and the flames and catch sight of the only fire escape door.
The world we are shown every night, or rather all day long on the news is all a grand illusion- a wonderful noble lie for the Luciferians with the agenda, and it is Freedom inverted. But what does scripture say about this? Woe (judgement is coming) to those who call evil good, and good evil, who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness, who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. But this is Lucifer’s MO. He is always about inverting things that God made for good, to turn them into something that is evil and harmful to God’s creation and children. They summarize their thinking in a few phrases and one core belief and practice is called “as above, so below”. (Hence all the inverted pyramids and such). Lucifer is always trying to mimic and copy the same things from God’s kingdom above to mirror and match then in a dark and twisted way Satan’s kingdom below. So, one last example or frankly, what touched off my desire to write this essay. Watch this video on YouTube

It is an early 1940’s film created by the American government as propaganda to explain and motivate (mind control) the public to get behind the war effort. It is all propaganda though it also is a kind of gloating film of the globalists as they seem to be also enjoy displaying their great ‘accomplishments’. The result of the noble lies is that they have been able to rob the earth of peace, sacrifice unsuspecting victims that were used as cannon fodder, and advance their global agendas.
Just watch this vintage film and look for Illuminati or Masonic signs and just see how this controlled communication strikes you today. Have things really changed that much? Are not the masses still manipulated to their agenda in much the same way?
It is now pretty clear to me what the long agenda and the ‘American Experiment’ was really all about. It was this: America was created as a set apart region of the globe – protected from the ravages of war on its home front, so that it could grow and advance quickly. And through wars and economic encouragement, it could become the powerhouse and technological incubator for the planet so that it can help accelerate the earthly agenda of Lucifer. Why, because it would take a strong and prosperous America and eventually the west with the help of the Asian nations as well, to advance electric and computer and eventually AI technology. The entire military industrial complex of America was carefully honed and nurtured and the American people enjoyed many years of relative peace and ‘liberty’, as a means to encourage productivity. Look who now launched the global system of satellite surveillance? The list of ways America has built and helped rollout the system of global control is legion.
And now that the strong nation state of America has provided the globalists with all they wanted, they want to collapse the system. Notice how they have caused and positioned other forces of destruction around the world to be activated at the appropriate time. They no longer need America and don’t want America’s strength and its nostalgic love of liberty to be a force or a problem for them going forward. So, they seem to be systematically dismantling the USA – deliberately eroding its strength and power, because they need the whole world to fall into chaos so they can step in like a hero and raise it back up, like a phoenix rising from the ashes. They want to tear down the old pillars of strength and beauty and instead raise up their own one world government and one world religion controlled by the elite serving a one world leader and bolstered by a false prophet.
Can you see the inverted unholy trinity. Lucifer will have made himself to be God, the Anti-Christ will be raised up to be like Jesus – a savior for the hurting world that they plunge the world into a type of chaos, and the False Prophet will be a kind of Holy Spirit. As above – so below. The inspirational force behind all these evil plans is Lucifer. And since Lucifer is not omniscient or omni-powerful like God is, the AI electronic control grid system (Satan’s matrix) will be his means of command and control and surveillance. It is all an inversion. Liberty inverted. Satan likes to paint the picture that following him is liberty – freedom from God’s oppressive rules. Except this too is a trap – an inversion substituting evil for good.
And for scripture as a final proof text for this conspiracy science:
1 John 5:19. We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.
There it is spelled out in the bible. God actually allowed and ordained it this way. He knows Lucifer has sway in this fallen world and that we are born into this world at war – a spiritual war that started with Lucifer and will end with Christ making all things new again. But in the meantime, we are forced and faced with a choice, but it is an option, not forced upon you. God has always granted freedom OF religion. He says to those that choose him – you are a child of God, but know that while you are in this world, you must know that it is under the control of the evil one. This is why you must flee from the things of this world, for it only leads to death. It is the wide path that leads to destruction.
Choose this day whom you will serve, but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. You have been given this red pill, Neo, not to scare you but to prepare you. To open your eyes to the larger story, the cosmic reality in which this earth is merely a portion and this life only a fraction of it all. But, make no mistake, this is the reality that is the most true and real of all. Don’t take the blue pill and go back asleep. Be bold, this is something worth being patriotic about. This is an idea and a reality worth putting your life on the line for … because your life is already is on the line over this decision.
I set before you the red pill and the blue pill, blessings and curses, life and death – choose life that you may live.
