reflections upon “the Thin Blue Line” refraction

Blue Light Special  thought  . . . police-the-blue-light-special-photo-635874443578281807-police-lights As we ponder, (amid demonically induced stresses of the morphing beast-like emerging global order), the societal reflections uponthe Thin Blue Line” refraction, let us de-escalate our emotional discharge purposefully, for the allocation of discernment to clarify the way of peace,  which is undoubtedly opposite to the order’s yellow-bricked deceptive road to destruction.

Ummm…that said, let’s talk candidly about what some of us are shamefully doing…Recently, a popular discount store’s bakery staff refused to make a cake for a young woman who wanted to honor her dad with a simple cake decorated with “a thin blue line/stripe” across the cake to represent his profession as a policeman. The bakery staff didn’t feel comfortable making the cake because of the stigmatization of racism super-imposed upon the entire USA police force. Whaaat?! Some places of business are refusing to serve cops as customers and some civilians are boycotting stores, schools, etc. because of these establishments’ support of community police and sheriff departments–whaat?!

As if that wasn’t incredible enough, People are actually looting and burning their own cities or neighborhoods because of their need to express frustration against police brutality? Whaaat?!  Seriously?!! Why would citizens destroy what they need?!  Huh?!

Okay,  let’s consider this scenario….suppose we are safely at home, relaxing and unwinding from the stresses of our day and all of a sudden a mob of frustrated people decided to run randomly through our neighborhood kicking in the front doors of our homes, stealing items, destroying stuff, beating us, tearing our clothes from our bodies, while laughing or screaming.  Suppose we didn’t have any sort of weapon to seriously protect ourselves while also being dangerously outnumbered by the mob.  What would we instinctively think to do next? The majority of us would instinctively dial 911 and hope our neighbors were going to do the same thing, right??!!  Yet, some business employees are refusing to serve police as customers??!!  Whaaat?!!

Don’t get me wrong, I realize racism is a serious matter and can lead to horrible abuses of power and violence, however, are civilians really trying to label every single police officer a racist?? Really?! Are people becoming that cold-hearted and unreasonable?! Seriously?! Are Americans becoming that thoughtless and vicious??!! Many of the grieving family members of loved ones shot by the police have constantly called for non-violence and peaceful exchanges and expression between civilians and police officers, but to no avail.

Would any of us want to be lumped together with those who promote criminality and violence just because a large group of people stampede the streets and airwaves and demand to label our entire profession or culture as racist killers, when we know it’s not?? Are we guilty by association??!!

If this is justified, then what would prevent people from incorrectly labeling all areas of law enforcement as racist, such as “all attorneys”, all judges (no matter what the specialty is), how about all court clerks, all bailiffs, all court stenographers, how about all legislators, how about the court house employees and cleaning crews? Hey what about the 911 dispatchers, are all of them racists too? Oh, how about law professors at colleges and universities? What about all of the utility companies that supply their services (for a fee contract) to keep their precincts and court houses running, are they racist too? Should we then boycott all businesses, boycott our entire nation too, and our own family members if they are employed within these professions in some degree?? Sounds absurd, right??

Without proper consideration and careful thought concerning a matter, people can often times do more harm than good, although initially they may have had plausible intentions.

The danger here is the underbelly beast wanting to rear its ugly head–called “lawlessness”.

Could it be that the unsuspecting public doesn’t realize it’s being coaxed into a lawless “dark ages” type society, to usher in a global ideology of forceful submission for a “controlled enforcement of pseudo peace”??

Could it possibly be a “grand experiment” that through a force-fed disdain for righteous law, would then lead to anticipated lawless-chaos, to where a new world emerges enforcing a new order, that sadly might be unrecognizable to citizens of nation states, where the new peace and law is perhaps the banishment of all individual freedoms??

What else ensues where lawlessness abounds?? Chaos, then a dictatorship of Marshall Law.

We are living in very perilous times within this world’s morphing order…thinking thoroughly before we act, is crucially imperative. Any thoughtless emotional reaction that might lead to regret during these times, can bring about severities many of us have not considered.

Let’s consider the face value meaning of the word “protest”…
**the prefix “Pro” can also mean “being for” something…
**the root word “Test” can mean “trial” or “experiment”…
**thus the word “protest” means being “for a test or testing and also “being for experiment”

Therefore, participants in protest, at times can be considered by some levels of global governance as being a willing participant for an experiment!

Sometimes there are bad apples that can be found in a bunch, but if the bad apples are carefully removed in a timely manner, they can’t spoil the whole bunch.

Just because the bath water becomes dirty after washing your baby, it doesn’t mean you should dispose of the baby with the dirty bath water. So, we shouldn’t inconsiderately negatively brand all police officers as abusive racists.

sheriff-blue-line-badge-lapel-pin-6-point-sheriff-s-badge-lapel-pin-tie-tack-1_largeI support all police officers of good conscience of heart that protect and serve their communities with respect in the service of good laws. We should respect these officers, the men and women in blue. We should pray for the safety of cops and military serving who are members of our families, who are family friends, who are our neighbors and who lawfully serve our communities justly as a whole. A nation or state without good cops, good laws, and a honorable military is without accountability, and will be destroyed through lawlessness and externally by its foes.

We call 911 when we are in a life threatening situation…therefore, we should pray for the many good cops who put their lives on the line when they answer our distress calls. As for the minority number of cops who seek to engage in criminal activity against citizens, they should be exposed within the law, by citizens and/or fellow police officers who choose to even hold themselves accountable to the law.

Let’s not help to push the global agenda for “order of darkness out of chaos” because we are intelligent beings (mankind). Let’s not become a part of the grand lab experiment.

May YAH ELAH Our Heavenly Father continue to open our eyes and hearts to The Truth that we may continue to be blessed in His Light to walk within it…and be kept safe in YAHUSHAs Name. Peace.

Camouflaged “for” war….or….Camouflaged “by” war….is it still “war”?….Why do “boots” decide the answer?

….pondering this as another anniversary of a horrific terrorist attack approaches this month…..the Westgate Mall in Kenya, September 21, 2013..where 67-71 people were brutally murdered……

….I now ask the question contemplated by most Americans….”is the USA at war?…..the political heads of state keep saying…NO….so why does this very important question still seem to invade the american psyche?  Could the reason why their “NO” response is unacceptable to most americans and to some in the military be that it doesn’t agree with the natural perception of war?

I mean, to most people, war fulfills the test of the “senses” as it applies to its definition – war, a state of armed conflict between different nations or states or different groups within a nation or state, its synonyms: conflict, warfare, combat, fighting, (military) action, bloodshed, struggle… [Merriam-Webster].  The senses are fulfilled with observation – through natural vision and captured imagery–sight,  auditory stimuli–hearing, cognitive mental processes–thinking/learning/understanding, and through experience–by encountering, touch, and being faced with the dark evil presence of war….So,

….after many of us have watched the most current live speeches from the President, Vice President, Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, The Joint Chiefs of Staff – regarding their statements on ISIS/IS/ISIL, Al Qaeda, Syrian Rebels, Syrian Assad Government, Iran, Ukraine, Russia, Saudi Arabia, the heinous beheadings……and after we’ve re-visited the archived remarks made by Former Director of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano (remember she resigned in the fall of 2013) in which she stated the ISIS threat was already well known and discussed within the U.S. counter-terrorism, Intelligence, Defense and Homeland Security apparatuses during her tenure, with briefings on this subject matter in closed door sessions with both the executive branch and the appropriate designated members of the legislative branch,…we say to ourselves….

….huh…really?…..and ummm…..just because there are smaller pockets of american troops strategically placed in and around these regions, while fighter jets and armed drones have been given the order to bomb particular ‘strike zones’ within Syria, just because troops are on the ground ‘under the guise of training’ rebel forces, while blatant lines in the sand are being drawn against Russia, and just because this doesn’t fit the usual Modus Operandi of both WWI and WW2….somehow gives the executive branch and some in congress, and some at the DOD the credibility to “claim it’s not war”?…..how deceptively bizarre is that?..so, again…

….yes, again….I ask……is the USA at war?….you betcha—WW3…..most would agree—it’s the new “face of war”, invoking new strategies….but the same old enemies–without the defined uniform, nor respect of “rules of engagement”–nor the “rule of law” of any nation, not even the laws of the global order’s United Nations–whose soldiers hail from a wide spectrum of world sectors and socioeconomic backgrounds…cleverly camouflaged “by” war amongst its potential target(s).

….so technically if a particular nation’s troops and overt or covert special ops forces are ordered to forgo wearing the usual camouflaged uniform and ‘military issued combat boots “for” war during engagement….this allows for military operations to be viewed and accepted as “not engaging in warfare” because of the technicality that “boots must be on the ground” and in larger groups for it to be classified as an actual war?…….say whaaaat?!…..seriously?…..is this what they and the media are doing?…..seriously?…..Hmmmm, looking back through history, should we re-consider if the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was actually an act of war against the USA?……After all, they ONLY used fighter pilots and jets…..it was ONLY airstrikes right?…or at least predominantly right?….did they have Japanese combat boots on the ground?……Hmmm, somehow the USA considered it an act of war…..should we wonder why?

….Thus, it is war, isn’t it.

….pondering this……as I pray along with you in YAH and Our Redeemer for all who are suffering warfare and plagues here and around the world, while asking HIM to comfort and strengthen us in HIS TRUTH and LOVE that HE would grant us HIS GRACE to endure to the end of ages, to be saved,
