One of the issues that I think we need to be constantly reminded of, and reminding our self of, is what I’ve heard called Psyops. This is sometimes called fifth generation warfare. It’s the psychological manipulation of the population in order to bring them around to the idea that the elites want. One of the major goals of the elite is to divide people with traditional values and destroy their culture without firing a shot. People on the right, have certain things in common as a whole. There are obviously things that they disagree on, however much of the disagreement is not really between them, but it’s the way it is caricatured by the media and the Talking Heads on YouTube.
I’ve seen this as they vilify Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens and now David Wood. I’ve seen it as they continually try to act like Trump is losing his mind and people that you know have been consistent and solid are becoming flaky. When we keep seeing it, we start believing it and often we hear it from sources that we thought were reliable, but are turning out to be not so much.
I was watching a discussion between two groups of people that I thought as generally reliable. I still think they’re generally reliable. I know there are things I disagree with them on, but their sense of integrity and their attempt to find truth is solid. That’s true at least for me. They were discussing the way in which the people on the right are being divided and being turned against each other. That’s what I’m talking about. There are so many attempts to make us form a circular firing squad and go after each other.
On the other hand, I saw a podcast by Victor Davis Hansen and he pointed out that the left is actually starting to freak out because there is so much truth coming through on different sources on the Internet that they can’t act as gatekeepers anymore. He felt very optimistic about the possibility of success of turning the country around.
Which to believe? Both. But above all stay on the alert, realize that the people who control the social media platforms are not necessarily on your side. Be aware of the AI influence. Be aware of the propaganda that is proliferating everywhere.

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.
Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.

Comments are welcome. Feel free to agree or disagree but keep it clean, courteous and short. I heard some shorthand on a podcast: TLDR, Too long, didn't read.
