Living in the Daze of Deception by Jack Hibbs Chapter 9 Notes

 Chapter 9: Dazed by the Deception of the World


-select a group of progressive thinkers: elite men and women

of position and power maneuvering to change life as we know it,

but not for good 

-a bad actor is an idiom for a person or organization that is harmful,

illegal, morally wrong, or deceptive 

-the global elites are the bad actors promoting progressive ideologies

-they use tactics of deception to vilify what is good to advance what is evil

-progressives believe if they remove Christian values then they can

viably free and liberate society

-they see Christian values as a hindrance to the advancement of their ideologies 


John 16:13

“But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth.

He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he

will tell you what is yet to come.”


-global bad actors manipulate facts to create a crisis to gain control

by whatever means possible


Deceived by Those Who Manage Information by Silencing Voices:


-information is power, so if overtaking and controlling the narrative

is essential if the information threatens their worldview

-they silence opposing or controversial ideas

-there is a rise in censorship through sensitive readers who flag

offensive content, stereotypes, bias, etc…

-political workings that jump on the bandwagon of censorship

-today’s cancel culture label content that must be edited lest it

offends liberal sensitivities


Deceived by Those Who Manage Information by Erasing History:


-historical books are being targeted for removal from the public square 

-when power seeks to control they remove the significance of history

-progressives demoralize and intimidate those who they consider the enemy

-the goal is to eliminate, but at least will strive to dilute history itself

-tampering with history removes the capacity to compare the past with the present day

-it hinders people’s ability to know the pitfalls they should avoid


***those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it


-eliminating or refusing to publish true accounts of the past erases knowledge

-history is constantly being rewritten so only a select few know the actual truth

-no true history you can fabricate new thoughts and ideas 

Ex. holocaust against the Jews in Germany and Eastern Europe never happened, it’s a myth 

-erasing history altogether isn’t possible, but reinventing it suits progressives purpose to remove truthful information from the halls of education 


***Once you control what is known about history, it is easier to control the masses 


-The enemy has succeeded when the deception has taken a hold in a person’s life

-pastors should be educating people to depend on God

-truth is and will be remnant of God’s people who remain dedicated truth seekers


Deceived by Those Who Create Crises by Obscuring Medical Data:


-manipulation is to generate worry about what might happen

-COVID pandemic inconceivable deception fostered by erroneous data

-pandemic fear as people were told the situation was dire and would remain so into the foreseeable future without a quick vaccination

-the scientific community failed to provide clear data on how many people died of COVID alone versus in conjunction with other illnesses

-it is unprecedented deceptions involving our personal health

-experts manipulating facts and data to obscure the truth

-telling people that the virus would be unstoppable unless you hibernate and vaccinate

-governments calling on people to shun and expose non-compliance

-led to international climate accords predicting the weather as turning increasingly deadly and affect your health


Deceived by Those Who Peddle Climate Alarmism:


-nearly every environmental agency and news outlet is beating the drum they call climate change being called a major crisis

-using the term, crisis, activists can demand swift and dramatic action

-they exaggerate the narrative causing needless panic

-despite the media claiming the opposite, there is no evidence that a climate crisis looms in our future 

-climate deception is longstanding 


Climategate scandal:

-prominent scientists central to global warming debate conceal measures and data that could prove them wrong

-scientists view global warming as a political “cause” rather than a balanced scientific inquiry

-scientists admit their science is weak and dependent upon deliberate manipulation of facts and data 


-deception never comes across as deceitful

-man is not what he thinks he is, but what he hides

-climate alarmism encouraged and propagated by advocates who cry that the the utmost importance is to save the planet

-these same people are exempt from their restrictive policies 

-some even justify their exclusion

-they say we must stop driving cars, eating cattle, drilling for oil, or working toward nuclear as a power source

-if we don’t have these restrictions they claim it will cascade humanity, rich and poor, alike into the dark ages


Romans 1:25

“They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.”


-the problem is when you serve what was created and not the creator

-the worship of earth by the most powerful administrations and administrations on the planet like the United Nations

-United Nations claims that climate change is the greatest threat the world has ever faced

-climate change more of a threat over international terrorism, totalitarian regimes with nuclear capabilities, collapsing economies, disintegration of the family unit, poverty, or lack of educational resources 

-the United Nations connect mankind’s health and well being to climate change 

-they claim climate change affects self-determination, human trafficking, and slavery


***the United Nations claims are deceptive manipulation


Deceive by Those Who Profess to Have Answers:


-lectured on the world stage Davos, Switzerland: Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum

-global elites (WEF) convene to discuss visionary plans for curing global ills and chart the course for the planet’s future

-Klaus Schwarb opportunistic call for the Great Reset

-the pandemic represented a narrow window of opportunity to reflect and reimagine the world 

-Schwab advocates strive to change the very fabric of civilization and herald in a new world order 

-WEF promotes the globalist concept of smart cities and a shared economy


***you will own nothing, have no privacy, and be happy 


-Davos gives you a glimpse into the minds of prominent globalists

 

Question: why are leaders giving credence to a nongovernmental organization whose members suggest bizarre and disturbing global objectives imaginable?


-each year the WEF are more determined to move toward a global state 

-they propose and implement policies that affect borders, global economics, business models, environment, and global commons 

-they hope to be a future government that will establish, under one umbrella, a global community led by a handful of dominant totalitarian leaders

-WEF is looking for with his upbeat vision of a utopia designed for you and me 

-even replacing all cars with electric vehicles is not enough but governments need to funnel people into restructured cities designed around carbon controls and make individual car ownership illegal 

-this proposal means tight living spaces, mass transit, bicycles for all, lower standards of living, and a big power grab 

***you would need a permit to drive outside your government controlled city 

-the idea is to make citizens believe no need for the freedom of movement

-calling for environmentally friendly 15-minute cities

-government control in what could be an international treaty on climate change

-WEF wants more control over then just protecting the planet, but also ae environmental and societal crisis driven by geopolitical and economic trends 


Climate Economy:


-ominous indicator of where globalists will focus their efforts 

-unified approach to the world’s economies as a way to avert a monetary collapse

-China is one of the guiltiest parties regarding pollution and contributing to carbon emissions, but the WEF bow to them with no restrictions

-China had a horrific human rights record who imprison and torture Uyghur Muslims

-China threatens to invade Taiwan

-China is allowed to have a global platform

-the world looks the other way in exchange for low-cost, low-quality products


***foggy haze of self-inflicted, self-serving economic deception


-WEF presents a sunny version of a utopian world 


Revelation 16:12

“The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East.”


***a small group of global elites wants us to believe they are vast and invincible, so we should give in to their agendas


John 16: 33

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
