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

-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

-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:

-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.”
