I have found, though, that what I say as simple belief, many others say even more intently in a tacit effort to convince themselves. “I do believe, Lord. Help my unbelief!”

On a couple of occasions, I have been startled when, after I told people my approach in order to help them with their own challenges, they later wailed to me that, “It didn’t work!” I realized they are looking for a means by which they can bind God to do their will in their lives rather than working to discern and accept His will with docility. The thing is, I do not want to die just yet, but I am willing, trusting that God knows what will best avail. So my approach always works. But not to get me whatever I want. The trick is to accept whatever outcome God decrees.

I think I am responsible to God to do my dead-level best – and then leave outcomes to Him. A rigorous examination of conscience helps me to avoid tacitly blaming Him for a seemingly bad outcome, but He is not a genie in a bottle and prayer does not consist of finding magic words to make Him do what I want. That is why, in the Prayer of Miraculous Trust, I encourage you to candidly say what YOU want and then end by thanking God for hearing your prayer and averring, “Thy will be done.”

I guess it helps a lot that I fully believe we were conceived for eternity. As scary as physical death is, I mainly see it as our birth to eternity. It is all one continuum. The biggest fear for me is fundamentally disappointing God or neglecting what I believe is my duty.

It has occurred to me that, given the three cases where a supernatural intervention was, by far, the most reasonable explanation for my survival, I have started to wonder if it may be the case in the more natural seeming outcomes.

Natural seeming outcomes are often a cover for the raw supernatural. I know that before I was open about my visions and visitations, I went to great pains for people to see things that would give them natural explanations for my often weirdly prescient insights. Don’t want to either spook the horses or claim special privilege.

If, given my conviction that I am to do everything I reasonably can to deal with a situation, then accept the outcome God allows after rigorously examining myself for any cheats, how can I really know whether an outcome was naturally or supernaturally determined? All I can really know is that it was allowed by God – either for His purposes or by my fault. Thus, it may be that, like a trained horse, He is sometimes just putting me through my paces, to prove whether I really mean what I say I believe and to keep me ever mindful of it. If so, then it would not really have much therapeutic value for anyone else except to the extent they could embrace my attitude about the whole thing in their own lives. But if they do it in order to get an outcome they have devised, well, as they say, your results may vary.

I have a deliberate approach to almost everything. Yes, my fears rise up at times and I have a few soft spots. But even in those, the dominant thing I am thinking even in the midst of crisis is, “Am I doing everything I reasonably can to achieve the goal honorably and effectively?” If I am satisfied with that, it is almost inconceivable to me that God’s will would not prevail, however much I like or don’t like it. And trust me, that said, it is a running joke between me and the Almighty that, when I don’t like the outcome, I will look upward and say in my best Oliver Hardy style, “Well, this is another fine mess you’ve gotten us into!” I chuckle, I’m pretty sure God chuckles, and I move on.

So, on the cancer treatment, I will say that Ivermectin and Fenbendazole are the mainstays of the treatment I devised for myself – and Fenbendazole is not approved for human use. But I adjusted doses along the way, adding and subtracting elements as it seemed efficacious to me. But it was all very deliberate and pretty calm. I don’t see how you could do this effectively if panic is always fluttering nearby. But most people don’t have that nature. Even my high school principal commented on how odd I was that way. He said that most people, when they get mad, get wild and uncontrolled. I, on the other hand, got more quiet, thoughtful and deliberate. “If a man did not know you well, he would think you were not mad at all – and would have no clue what dangerous ground he had stepped on,” he said, noting he had never known anyone quite like that before.

So in the future, I would say find a doctor who, preferably, is open to alternatives from degraded standard protocols, has a healthy respect for homeopathy, then put on the full armor of God, and trust that, in His mercy and justice, the outcome you get is the best outcome for your eternal soul.

It’s become fashionable, even in conservative circles, to doubt President Trump’s motives. We’re in the work phase of a plan, where the action is more important than the press conferences. Think of a term paper. At the beginning, you make statements as to what your work is going to eventually conclude. Then you methodically work through a lot of research, not all of which is terribly interesting, and the reader may wonder where you’re going with it. The reader may even think you can’t possibly prove what you said you could. But you plod on, doing the work. Finally, just as the reader is about to doze off, the weight of all the research funnels down to an inevitable conclusion, and voilá! You have proved the point.

I think that’s where we are right now. The whole project of the Trump Administration could be nicknamed “Operation Rescue” and initially, we were thrilled about it. Now we’re in the middle of the paper, and it seems to go on for so long that we’re losing interest. In the background, billions of dollars of fraud is being exposed, criminals are being arrested, measures are being put in place to catch illegal voting, the rate of violent crime continues to plummet, domestic jobs are increasing by large numbers, real wages (net of inflation) are going up, the price of homes is going down, vaccine fraud is being exposed, and the largest financier of international terrorism is going bust. The work is steadily being done.

Our job is to stay awake.

We need to dig deeper than the mindless media’s surface show. Big, momentous things are in play, and Promethean Action is one source for more reliable news than the bought media.

She’s quite open about it; the subtitle of one article is “My Eternal Loathing of Charles.” In this episode, she talks about the climate and green scam that most of the major religious entities have been embracing. Think Laudato Sí. Is she on to the reason our Church places environmentalism over faith?

The Federal government somehow lassoed its 29,000 different websites into 1, and made it accessible to simple queries about all phases of government services. Personally, I avoid government websites at all
costs, but this might make it a little less intimidating.

Inflation is a measure of change, not an absolute number. It measures the decrease in buying power from one year to the next, primarily due to money supply expansion. Therefore, inflation is cumulative. Say inflation now is 2%, quite a bit lower than the 15-20% we had a few years ago. That means the rate of change has slowed, not that prices have gone down. We’re still living with prices that skyrocketed during the Biden years; they’ve just decelerated.

We would have to experience deflation or an entirely new monetary system, to see prices decrease across the board. In general, deflation is not preferred (there was deflation during the Great Depression) but massive increases in productivity, decreases in government spending and contraction of the money supply could possibly lead to a deflation that would not be crippling. This is not well-trod economic territory.

We didn’t need more evidence, but the mainstream global media continues to prove its vicious malfeasance. In the same vein as they reported the attempted assassination of the President as “Trump falls on stage,” the press
just reported a story of Israeli citizens heroically preventing a tragedy in the air as “Pilots fight in cockpit.”

On a September 30 FlyDubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv, a “confrontation between pilots” occurred. At least that’s what the media reported. Actually, the Omani co-pilot stabbed the Indian pilot repeatedly, causing the aircraft to dive 17,000 feet in two minutes. The injured pilot managed to release the cockpit door so that passengers could enter, which they did, subduing the attacker and bringing the plane to a safe landing in Saudi Arabia.

95% of the passengers were Israeli, many were military veterans, and several were off-duty pilots. The media has long been loathe to say anything positive about Israel, but the truth is, the Israelis on board stormed the cockpit, saved the crew and passengers, and prevented a tragic international incident. Our media prefers to report it as a little tiff in the cockpit between two pilots, as though they were badly behaved toddlers.

Online, people are now facetiously asking to rent Israeli citizens to accompany them on flights.
