I'm beginning to wonder.  How about you? 




The social unrest in the United States under the supervision of Donald Trump is increasing.  Social conditions involving lack of employment, lack of healthcare, environmental devastation caused by global warming and police reform are foremost in the social discussion which the Trump Administration is seeking to stifle.  In short living conditions are dire for tens of millions of Americans who are concluding they have been, since the revelations of Donald Trump about COVID contagiousness, hung out to dry.  

They are, as a result, raising their voices in dissent.  The electorate is coming to understand that their elected lawmakers have abandoned them and subordinated the requirements of their lives and the lives of their families to the profits of Wall Street Profiteers.



Social justice, both religious and social, comprised  the conditions upon which Jesus of Nazareth applied the principles of the Kingdom Of Heaven.  (Christian pastor condemns evangelical support for Donald Trump)

Social justice can only exist in an environment in which the institutions of society are free from corruption.  Such a condition requires every aspect of society be on the up and up from the king to the bedroom of the shepherd. We know for certain that is not a description of the United States form of government under Donald Trump and AG Barr.

The irony of this is that the US claims to be a Christian Nation.  That may be. But it does not deserve the claim to be a nation that applies the principles of Jesus to it's decision making.  Christians can be cruel and autocratic.  The record of the 4 gospels is that Jesus was never that way.

The principles of the Kingdom Of Heaven will promote social harmony.  Abandoning those principles involves embracing a specific type of decision making. In the U S that type of decision making is characterized by prioritizing Wall Street profiteers over ordinary citizens.  

Now the problem with this is that Jesus anticipated malefactors making laws and provided the following insight at the link to encourage those of us less fortunate than Wall Street profiteers. 

The paragraph below is from a book written by a woman who was acclaimed as a prophet by some and proven to be a plagiarist by others.  Her name was Ellen G. White. The author provides a bleak depiction of a future America.  Read the words below and ask yourself if these words do not reflect reality.

"In the plague that follows, power is given to the sun “to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat.” 1076 The prophets thus describe the condition of the earth at this fearful time: “The land mourneth; ... because the harvest of the field is perished.” “All the trees of the field are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men.” “The seed is rotten under their clods, the garners are laid desolate.” “How do the beasts groan! the herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture.... The rivers of waters are dried up, and the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness.” “The songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day, saith the Lord God: there shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast them forth with silence.” 1077 The Great Controversy



A question.  If you don't speak up and present the government with your grievances how do you think the trajectory of the present course will end up?
