Excellent piece, Erik. You'll appreciate these three quotes that I keep framed on my wall:
“Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.”
Henry David Thoreau
“Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
Jesus (John 8:32)
“Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth.”
Albert Einstein
I also have this saying, author unknown: "The truth does not mind being questioned; a lie does not like being challenged." (My Corollary: the purpose of censorship is to protect a lie.)
Praying for those that have wronged you...that and patience are the 2 hardest parts. I voted for Romney and McCain and Bush! Totally got reeled into 911. I was taping the Don Imus show on MSNBC and have it all on tape, since transferred to disc. I saw it in "real time" and recorded it. They had to have those images of the plane going into the 2nd tower prerecorded and ready to go. Talk about evil. They got me. Growing up I hated JFK, because my parents did, but when he was murdered a little seed started in my pre-teen brain and my P's hated Johnson even more than they hated JFK. I know my Mom secretly admired Jackie, more of an envy thing than anything else.
Praying for those that have wronged you...some people will never admit they were wrong, accept the truth. that will be the hardest part for me, going forward
Wow - this is my first time reading your work. Holy freaking cow! Excellent article! I agree with you on almost every single thing. This stood out to me: "The war we find ourselves in cannot be lost because the truth cannot be defeated. " The whole section of your article where you describe the truth, illustrates perfectly why Jesus tells us He is the Truth itself! John 14:6 "Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." Of course, we have no way of knowing exactly where we are on the timeline of history, from now until Judgment Day. May the Lord grant our nation a new Great Awakening as in the days of Jonathan Edwards et al. When you said, "This isn’t to take anything away from the courageous and talented people who fight and sacrifice in this war, but at the end of the day, we cannot lose. " The only ones who cannot lose ultimately are those who belong to Christ.
There are few things that I cherish more than freedom, so the simple spiritual imperative "seek ye the truth and the truth shall set you free" always had a profound influence on me even as a young boy. I suppose I was destined for a life in science, at its core a search for objective and empirical truths.
On the political front, I merely assumed that government was run by people who were trying to do a good job, but were just maddeningly incompetent. In my late 20's I attended my first John Birch Society meeting and I finally started to get answers about why things never seemed to improve substantively at the federal or global levels. From that point on I became a voracious seeker for the truths about anything that could possibly have a negative impact on my life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. The sheer magnitude of those threats was a terrible thing to behold, but I just HAD TO KNOW who and what they all were, what motivated people to be so inhumane, and what it would take to conquer them. As my search for the uglier truths grew, so did my search for justice for this captured, crippled, and perpetually ailing earth.
Despite the enormity of the evil forces that have plagued humanity for literally thousands of years, I've never been more confident that we're on the verge of eliminating them from decent society once and for all... thanks to Donald John Trump, the Q Team, the vast army of anons who inhabit the obscure digital message boards, "un-woke" elements of the US Armed Forces, and the support of military units of other countries (32 nation alliance?) who've committed themselves to participate in the Plan to Save the World.
It's happening, folks! Can you feel it? There's a "quickening" in the ethereal airs. The pendulum is swinging back in humanity's favor. It's gathering momentum through our efforts, our attentions, our collective wills, and the very necessary favor of Providence. Admittedly, the progress is not as rapid as we'd all like, but it's definitely happening. If good things are worth waiting and striving for, great things are worth waiting for even more patiently and even more purposefully. What lies ahead of us when victory is ours will be a future that even we truth seekers can barely imagine.
Great article! Swear I could have wrote the same thing. What are your thoughts on Gen Flynn denouncing Q is a psyop? I have been seriously questioning things lately. Are the Q drops and Trump a method to keep us passive and hopeful for the change to come while they move quicker towards tyranny with the Great Reset? Seems like they want us passive while they destroy America, no?
I suggest you read Derek Johnson’s 700 page document linking President Trump’s Executive Orders to Military Law. The US has been under Military Occupancy since 2016. Q isn’t a psyop. There is a massive military global operation happening. We are in a war. Have you ever heard of the term ‘Loose Lips Sink Ships’? People that want to destroy us are also listening to all of the social media channels.
President Trump isn’t our enemy. He is the Commander in Chief of the Military. In Nov 2022, he adverted us from having WW3. I’m thankful for all of the Military men and woman worldwide who are risking their lives for us. I’m also thankful for President Trump.
I keep looking at all the information . I also read Devolution , plus look at all the Military planes that are up. The US Marshals have been in and out of Canada and working with our Military and the RCMP ( the ones that are good). I live in Canada. Our Govt is corrupt and a threat to the US ( I am ashamed to say).
So, I’m grateful for the US Military ( White Hats) and the Militaries around the world. Every day we can see the truth being revealed to us. This Military Operation started in 2016. Very few of us ( I’m making that assumption) actually knew what was happening behind the scenes. Every day now, we can see the truth is being revealed to the public. I think ( from what I have been seeing) that this Military Operation will extend to 2024. The corruption is so deep. Having said that, ( I’m also on Truth Social) I’ve been seeing that President Trump will be back in 2023 as 19th President of the Republic and his VP will be John F. Kennedy Jr. ( Yes, he is alive). Then in 2024, President Trump will step down and retire. John F. Kennedy Jr will be the President. That’s been confirmed by a few people. So, we will see. I’m not an expert in US Law.
In the meantime, I will pray and share the information that I’ve been seeing. I know everyone is doing the same. Take care.
More evidence is coming out that Gen Flynn is not a real supporter of change. He is in that group "JSOC" that is doing a lot of the bad stuff. Some independent reporters out there have looked into this, I do not fully understand what is going on with him.
I keep fluctuating between is he good or bad. I’m still not certain, but I’m leaning towards good. Using my discernment . We all should do that. There are many ‘actors’. Have a wonderful day!
I just did a quick analysis of his astrological birth chart, and there is so much therein, suggestive of the ability to obfuscate, enchant, create illusion, confuse, elude. It’s amazing. He’s probably getting a big kick out of people trying to suss him out. It’s hard cuz he was born with these innate qualities that make him perfectly suited for spy work. Very covert and hidden.
I am a huge believer in astrology from way way back. Even have a small shelf of books related to this topic. There is just too much proof to dismiss what some people make fun of.
Great writing thank you. It’s hard waiting for others to wake up, especially when they are close family. When you watched as they faithfully accepted unknown chemicals in their bodies, even though you begged them not to do it - my older parents, my son, my sister, my in laws, my friends. Unfortunately, I’m sure there are many others who have gone through this lonely and frustrating situation too. Everyday my heart cries out to the Lord as I try to wait with patience for vindication so that my family don’t think I’m crazy and we can talk freely without rising emotion and rejection. The Truth is alive and will never be extinguished- let’s pray it’s glorious light shines brightly over every damn lie until no one can deny it! Thank you for this encouraging substack 🙏
Brilliant observations! It takes life of experiences and learning to come to the knowledge of the truth. You are a wise person, with a gift of discernment.
Those who cannot deal with the Truth are going to have a very hard time dealing with the many coming up after we deal with the immediate situation. Truth is needed for the foundation of a new beginning of Life, we cannot build upon a foundation that was corrupted & tainted into a cesspool from hell. Many think we are going back to "normal" without realizing what we have been thinking as normal was not even close.
The most important message right now is -Do not consent. Do not comply. Remove as much of the parasites as possible from your life. Use cash or checks. Use debit & credit cards only if there is no choice in an emergency. This screws their ponzi real-imitation money & banking scheme. If that & the stock market (it is basically a casino used to bet against us & to screw us), are taken down, that will hasten their end. Most are scared of this because of programming since the days of the Sumerians, when these schemes were first recorded as a method of control & power over us.
Those who cannot deal with the Truth will be awakened from their slumber in a shocking moment. They will be forced to accept the Truth, that most of us have learned over a significant period of discernment, in an instant. Some will not survive the shock; they will become zombies. The rest, they'll come along and they'll need our help.
It is our obligation to help them. That, perhaps more than anything, is something we must prepare for. Pray for strength, discernment, wisdom, and patience. All will be needed 🙏
A great article which I intend to cross post with some comment. Prayer is the answer.
How is it that when General Motors manufactures a faulty ignition switch who’s action winds up killing around a hundred people there’s a congressional investigation and $900 million in fines. But when pharmaceutical companies manufacture a faulty vaccine that doesn’t keep its promises of stopping spread and ending covid. Furthermore, there are over a million reports of harms including deaths, it’s crickets.
Well, actually it’s worse than crickets because unlike the aforementioned car company you can’t even utter a suggestion of impropriety without the full force of a myriad of entities calling you names and demonizing you to oblivion.
Equally fascinating is that those fancying themselves as liberal, progressive types were, just a short time ago, the very people who were anti all vaccines and deeply suspicious of big pharma. Now they are their staunch supporters. The symbiosis is so bizzare it can only be the product of careful social engineering by astute peddlers of influence. The power they’ve demonstrated over minds has been the most upsetting part of this entire episode. It’s like being in a zombie movie.
I have to tip my hat to the intelligence community behind the psyops. It worked. I wish it hadn’t, but there’s no denying it was a successful program that really isn’t over yet. I’m left to wonder what miracles of mind control Chapter II has in store?
It was fear induced selfish self-preservation that pied pipered most people into the safety net of rushed vaccines and other lunatic protocols under the guise of solutions that dispensed with common sense.
So it’s going to take a new focus on selfish interests to change their minds. Until enough people realize they’re in grave danger because the cure was worse than the disease the danger will be shrugged off and nothing will change. The powers pulling the strings are protecting their narrative from deconstruction by doubling down.
Excellent assessments of the truth and why it’s never been completely hidden. Your experience and explanation of the psychology associated with accepting or rejecting truth is very valuable for many who might not have considered all associated with finding it. Exciting to know who wins this ancient battle between good and evil! Thank you and God bless you!🙏
Erik, I'm glad to add you to my list of exceptional Badlands Media writers. I'm marking your name in my mind.... someone that writes things I can agree with. Your thoughts resonate with me; they keep on repeating; and like you say, "There is only one truth."
Excellent piece, Erik. You'll appreciate these three quotes that I keep framed on my wall:
“Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.”
Henry David Thoreau
“Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

I also have this saying, author unknown: "The truth does not mind being questioned; a lie does not like being challenged." (My Corollary: the purpose of censorship is to protect a lie.)
I am not certain where this saying came from, probably easily found out. Feeling super lazy today haha.
My 99 year old daddy says "ask me no questions, I will tell you no lies"
As a kid I regarded that as "it is good to question, but you must work to find the truth"
Anyone can give you an answer
here is a quickie look up

Great article Erik!!
Praying for those that have wronged you...that and patience are the 2 hardest parts. I voted for Romney and McCain and Bush! Totally got reeled into 911. I was taping the Don Imus show on MSNBC and have it all on tape, since transferred to disc. I saw it in "real time" and recorded it. They had to have those images of the plane going into the 2nd tower prerecorded and ready to go. Talk about evil. They got me. Growing up I hated JFK, because my parents did, but when he was murdered a little seed started in my pre-teen brain and my P's hated Johnson even more than they hated JFK. I know my Mom secretly admired Jackie, more of an envy thing than anything else.

Expect us...
Excellent comment, Phil. Reminds me of the doormat that reads:
"Before you break into my house, stand outside and get right with Jesus. Tell him you're on your way."

Thank you DDS - always looking for new info and trying to help people
Thanks DDS!
Your welcome. We are all on the same team. Have a nice day!

Love all of your comments Catherine, they are right on
I feel the same as you. There are over 1,200 people in the witness protection program. I hope I’m alive long enough to see them all come forward- lol.

All of it - to conclude: God is with you. ❤️🌺❤️
I see myself in your narrative. Eerily similar experience. I wish us both luck- uncharted waters ahead.
Me too. And I agree.

Let truth be what it is,
Do not intrude upon it,
Do not attack it,
Do not interrupt its coming
Let it enter,
It will call forth
And secure for you
The faith you need for peace
A Course In Miracles
Amen.
