Before assuming Biden has suddenly lost his apparently considerable skills as a successful criminal (for decades) we would do well to consider the career of Vinnie Gigante, who evaded prosecution for 30 years by faking dementia in public while masterminding the NYC Mafia. Look for "The Oddfather."

Well worth keeping in mind, and I know that's the theory Just Human subscribes to. I don't think he'll be successful.

I was thinking the same thing. Either a.) he is a really good actor trying to avoid prosecution; b.) this is all part of the movie we are watching and he being told to act incompetent; or c.) he truly is dementia ridden and if that is the situation, then it is a sick case of elder abuse. I watched my father cognitively decline from a sharp mind to dementia before he passed and it was heart wrenching. I would never wish that upon anyone! I don't care for Joe Biden but it is sickening to see people making jokes about his condition (if it's real). Anyone that has had a family member in that state of mind knows it's not a laughing matter.

Concerning the Passing of the Bill in the Senate that will fund Ukraine into the indefinite future that the Uniparty tried to pass on Super Bowl Weekend and in the dark of night so they could set the impeachment trap for Trump's next administration.

Everyone is losing their minds over Sen. Grassley, Cornyn, and Kennedy voting to make sure this Bill passed the Senate.

Think about it, if these Senators had not voted YES for this Bill then it would have failed, and we would never have learned about the impeachment trap hidden inside.

I think these Senators did like Trump and took some arrows for the team to make sure the Uniparty could not try and successfully sneak this impeachment trap into another Bill that is so well hidden we won't see it until it's too late.

I am not ready to toss Sen Grassley, Cornyn and Kennedy away just yet, I believe they still have very important roles to play in the future.

There are many players whose true allegiances may be surprising. Our brains are not wired to understand 5GW and all of the twists and turns of the Narratives that bombard us from all sides; we have to work hard to learn discernment.

This is not new, by the way; it has been with us since at least the JFK assassination. It has ramped up significantly since Trump came down the escalator, and I do not expect it to slow down as we approach the next election; in fact it will probably continue getting worse.

Which will be far harder on the Normies than it is on us here; at least we have an idea what is going on even when we cannot parse all of it. The Normies OTOH are experiencing so much Narrative Whiplash that they truly cannot understand the goings-on, even on the Actual level -- not to mention that the Actual, or what appears to be the Actual, is hidden and twisted and buried in stories that make it appear different than the Truth. Mirrors, mirrors everywhere...

Thanks for the Takes this morning y'all have gotten my brain to start working (with the additional help of coffee:-)).

This has been the wildest year of my life and it is only February!

MSM = LIES.

Last nights Story Hour’s review of the movie “The Big Short” drives home the main point. Even if the narrative is set for you to believe that the information presented is “based on true events” the Truth is they are LYING. So again I say MSM = LIES.

Nothing they say is truth. Whatever narrative they are trying to establish We the People simply need to call BULLSHIT. As Chris Paul often says “We do not need to know the answer" to simply call bullshit. So long as we continue to expose the bullshit of their narratives we keep them from performing any of their old tricks.

Keep up the great work,

God Wins!

God Bless!!!

Maybe I'm missing something but who would think Susan Rice as the Democrat candidate carrying out Obama policies would make anyone happy? One of the reasons Hillary lost in 2016 was she promised to continue the Obama policies. And maybe people aren't aware we are living under Obama's third term right now or is there anyone that thought Biden was running the country?

Expand full comment

They won't talk about Obama's policies, they will implement them quietly. The public statements will talk about 'a return to normalcy,' or maybe 'reason.' Which is of course a lie, even if there were such a thing as 'normalcy' today.

“Are they setting up Susan Rice to be President in 2025"? Are you f^%*Ing kidding me, things are supposed to be getting better not worse!!

Simon writes: “It’s important to understand the self serving (Luciferian) mindset that dominates within the circles that make up the deep state."

If I may be so bold - Lucifer was his name when he was aligned with God and God's will. Continuing to honor that name, no matter how poetic it may sound versus "Satanic", gives an inadvertent and undeserved "nod" to the architect of the Babylonian system. The system (founded in murder and mayhem (Rev 6:3-4), economic bondage and class warfare (Rev 6:5-6), and systematic "steal, kill, destroy" techniques (Rev 6:7-8)) has been "in charge" since our ancestor chose to exalt his own desires above the command of God Almighty, creator of heaven and earth, thus abdicating his commission. (Why God allowed this is a topic for another day - but He has given us that information.)

We are at war - plain and undeniable. Learning to deploy our "weapons" based on the best intel we can muster is wisdom.

Thank you BNB team - and thanks to all of you who add such valuable contributions!

Ephesians 6:12 is climbing in popularity according to Bible Gateway, from the #24 most searched verse in 2020, to #18 in 2021 and #14 in 2022 (2023 not yet published). People are becoming aware of the evil in the world around us, and are seeking the Truth to understand it.

"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." (KJV)

I do believe we are too eager to parse the Word of God into "favorites". By topic we should read from our chapter 6 verse 10 to our verse 20 (which includes an example of how to use prayer as one of our two offensive weapons (along with the Word of God).

Expand full comment

You are correct; these searches are most often made by folks who are just getting their feet wet with Scripture. I find it interesting because this means that people are waking up to the idea of evil in the world and where it comes from.

As these folks become more aware and curious, they will start to read not just a key verse, but the whole context. Eph 6 is not that long of a chapter to read the whole thing, and as you point out correctly, one doing so will gain a much more nuanced and complete understanding of what Paul is talking about. Verse 12 is the 'hook' that gets them to 'buy in' to the game. Gotta start somewhere, after all 🙂🙏🕊✝

Amen. One last thought if I may...the Protestant Papacy (our tendency - and willingness - to relinquish our responsibility for discernment and for our understanding of God's Word to the ones who stand before us) does to the people's confidence in the Gift of the Father (His Spirit to dwell in us), what the globalists do to our confidence in our ability to choose wisely - and to face the consequences of our choices. Thanks Wild Bill for the dialogue!

[They] have reached deep into our institutions -- pretty much all of them. I have concluded from what I have seen that any church that has been around long enough to become part of a 'denomination,' where that denomination has a central authority (archdiocese, presbytery, council, synod...) is corrupted. Even the Congregational church became part of the United Church of Christ back in 1957 IIRC, and the UCC is among the wokest, most corrupted groups around. The Congregational model of local control has long ago been lost.

There are some groups -- the Evangelical Free Churches of America (EFCA) is one -- where the local congregations still have significant control of their church and its polity. There is a small central organization, which from what I can tell has its primary purpose in assisting local churches find pastors, and resolving issues in those relationships.

The lesson in this is that any powerful, centralized organization has become a target for [them], and is likely corrupted. Churches are not only not exempt from this; they are one of [their] primary targets. Churches and schools are the best way to attack and degrade a moral society.

Biden is so incapacitated that he can’t talk coherently, yet the annual physical won’t include a cognitive test… 🤡 Those covering up his ineptitude are gradually being eased out, the person in charge of the border is impeached, illegals keep streaming in the country and what’s the real deal with Austin. The man whom we’ve been told is our primary enemy for years, calmly and directly reveals that he wants negotiations to end the Ukraine war, yet the cabal’s minions here refuse? The Senate won’t support the impeachment and the House won’t support the $95 billion money laundering bill sold as aid to their favorite proxy states. Biden’s screwed as he’s either a bumbling idiot or a key part of a treasonous criminal organization. The machinations the minions have to endure to keep him there are getting increasingly desperate and ridiculous. Rice and Harris can’t stand each other…. Air Force has to create new branch to keep us safe and spend a ton of money to do so…. Interesting show, isn’t it?

God bless the Badlands truthers!🙏

I don’t know if I would exactly call Ukraine and the others US proxy states because if you think about it, these politicians and bureaucrats are the ones that are trying to pass bills that they know are unpopular with Americans and transfer it over to Ukraine so Zelensky won’t blow the whistle on them and launder the money back to the politicians in order to stay in power. I would say that Ukraine is the one with the most leverage not the bureaucrats and politicians in DC. I think these politicians, who got involved with some treasonous stuff may have no choice but to remain in politics because they’re in too deep with their corruption, hence, most of the old politicians refuses to leave politics, for example, Dianne Feinstein was literally wheeled into the senate for a vote when she looks like she’s knocking on death’s door and died a few days later. Also, it’s always America that’s always giving while the Europeans sticks to us like leeches to suck us dry. Europe needs to learn how to stand on their own feet without depending on us too much. They had millenniums to infiltrate everything. I can see why Putin sometimes refers to the west as Anglo-Saxons

Yes, Ukraine is in the middle of the old Prussian Empire where Nazi ideology was born. The cabal has taken root over many, many years culminating in a nearly complete infiltration of most governments and most corporations….true fascism…ruled from the City of London, Washington, DC, and the Vatican. The cabal is completely connected and has exerted control over most things. Things, however, have changed in the last several years as people slowly woke up to the reality of their control….starting with the ‘fake news’ exposure. Their connectivity is what will bring them down swiftly once the world’s parents understand the plans for humanity and the evil done to our children.

Bit of profound wisdom from Simon today:

“For those of us who know the true nature of this enemy, the arc of Biden’s rise to power as a criminal, and his subsequent fall as a fake president, may just be symbolic of the self serving psychosis that will likely play a role in the downfall of the deep state itself.”

and

“How many of their own are they willing to sacrifice to protect their plan?”

Simon, I’ve been somewhat on the fence about your articles. So I went looking for some background on your thinking and stumbled upon a wonderful presentation you gave on “Becoming a Metaphysical Activist”. I loved it! I resonate far more with a philosophical (one reason I love BB) and metaphysical / spiritual language and focus for interpreting and understanding the day-to-day news than I do with just catching the latest. (BB would call it the more comfy 40ft view)

Everything about this being a spiritual or metaphysical war is what helps me pay attention to the day-to-day unfolding of The Great Awakening.

Now that I have my bearings on you, I’m all in and hope that you will lean ever more to the metaphysical side of your nature in this greatest war ever fought on our planet. (Or do you have a separate substack on that angle?)

Timothy Dixon, a prophet, said long ago this great info, if true! A man and woman ride up to the Capitol on donkeys, which drop dead when the 2 get off them. Then the man dies of a heart attack (Dixon said Dems would try to impeach Biden but God would take him). Then the woman runs into the Capitol and starts throwing knives at everybody like a ninja, sort of. Pelosi is signing something and she stabs thru Pelosi's hand and paper into the podium. (? re Pelosi's current position). Then a whirlwind hits and takes them all away, except a few (good guys, presumably). We shall see!

Dispensing with a dispensationalist eye (pluck it out! It is the 19th century cabal version of an mRNA jab — purposely to alter the DNA of much of the christian and secular worlds ) …

We can then see in reading the totality of Scripture that that is exactly what it says:

*They* are the ones who are taken out, i.e. raptured — By God.

Or God taking them out! Forgot to mention those 2 donkeys. I can easily see them as the Dem party, which one could say died (committed suicide) on the day they delivered Biden and Harris to DC
