Happy New Year to all and thank you to all who supported my work in 2025. Here’s wishing you all a good 2026, free of the digital matrix and its destructive algorithms. Here’s some moral support to get you started in reclaiming your freedom and humanity in a world that increasingly despises both.
I was hoping that 2025 would be the year Americans woke up and realized they’re being played — unnecessarily divided and played, one group off against another.
I was hoping that they would break out of the Fox News/CNN/MSNBC matrix. I hoped they would see the world as it really is, not as the warmongering neocons and neolibs in Washington want us to see it — with a foreign boogieman lurking around every corner.
I was disappointed.
Many did whisk the sleep from their eyes enough to see that the biggest enemy is our own government and its corporate “partners” in Big Tech, Big Pharma, Big Food, and Big Agriculture.
But not nearly enough. Let’s break it down.
Too many remain in a media-induced trance focused on the wrong things, on issues that have already been decided at the public-policy level, or on problems that spark lip service and public outrage from politicians who have no intention of fixing them.
Take the issue of Somali daycare fraud as just one example that’s been in the news a lot the last two weeks. You might see a few dozen Somali migrants charged, maybe even go to jail for a short time, but those with power who enabled the Somalian fraudsters to pilfer the taxpayers over many years will never be brought to justice. Same with election fraud. Same with the Epstein affair.
Most Americans are aware that something is wrong. But way too many are still living in delusion, thinking that if we just vote harder we can dig ourselves out of this unsettling death spiral. That Golden Age lies just around the corner if we just elect the right people.
I’m not telling anyone to forgo voting but I am telling you that it will take much more than voting to right the ship.
It will take a conscious effort to see things clearly with true spiritual discernment. We need a coming together in moral courage, prayer, and righteous anger.
We heard in the news this past week of foreign leaders making “demands” for U.S. security guarantees. They offer us nothing of real value, but commit us to decades of financial and military “aid.” These are contracts our government is making with the governments of other countries, but there is no signature line for we the people who pay for it all. We, our children and grandchildren will foot the bill for other countries’ security, making a tiny percentage of Americans very rich in the process.
It’s time we the people started making our own demands. Why, for example, are we so quiet as our government works in cahoots with Big Tech to monitor and censor our freedom of speech?
Foreign governments have no right to make demands of we who pay the taxes that will fund the billions in foreign aid they receive, and yet they are not bashful. They are brazen. They come to the White House or to Mar-A-Lago with their hands out and an attitude of entitlement.
We stay quiet. Docile. Engrossed in football, petty politics, and various other games.
The movement must start with the realization that everything, and I mean everything, that comes out of the White House (regardless of its occupant) and the corporate media (which includes much of that which passes for conservative media) is either blatantly false or watered-down versions of the truth. It’s what they don’t talk about that we must focus on in 2026.
Everyone in Washington is compromised. Everyone in Washington is somebody’s puppet. This was the realization that prompted Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene to quit Congress. She realized it was all a game. She broke with those serving as water boys for the Trump psy op. They realized that she was onto them, they knew that she knew, and so she had to go. She had a choice: Bow out gracefully or be drilled out like a screw that’s been stripped of its threads. MTG opted for the former and I can’t really blame her.
The nightmare scenario for the Luciferian globalist technocrats is that those on both the right and the left figure out that the red-blue, Democrat-Republican divide is the biggest psy op of all. It masks the real problems and the real enemies of the people. As someone once said, there is no red and blue, only green. Money, and specifically the love of money, has corrupted our Republic in ways that go far beyond the partisan divide. Both Democrats and Republicans know that peace isn’t profitable. And they want to cash in. That’s why we see no organized peace movement right when we need it the most.
The momentum is all toward war. You can feel the pressure building. We are likely to see the top blow off of the international pressure cooker in 2026.
We must ask ourselves, what are the things, in a nation as divided as America, that almost everybody can agree on? Those are the things the globalist elites don’t want us to look at, let alone focus on. Because as soon as we do, it’s game over for them.
So what are these common issues that most Americans, regardless of their political pursuasion, could easily agree on?
- That we do not want World War III and potential nuclear war.
- That we do not want to be digitally surveilled through AI-powered technologies, in our cars, in our homes, through our appliances and devices, in our work places and in public spaces. Shut off the cameras. Now.
- That we do not want our jobs outsourced to AI and robots.
- That we do not want continued cost inflation and stagnant wages.
- And we all deplore the continuously rising taxes — at the state, local and federal levels — and all of the financial misery that comes with it.
The globalist power elites who control the media will whip out any distraction at their disposal, and they have many that sound like very important issues, to stop us from paying attention to these core issues. Why? Because they want to take us to war. They want to slowly collapse the dollar and replace it with a trackable, programable, digitized, tokenized, virtual economy. And they want to replace us, not with immigrants but with machines.
It’s time we question everything. Pray for discernment that we will be able to tell the difference between a core issue aimed at stripping us of our freedom and humanity, and important-sounding issues meant to distract.
A few of my readers have chastised me lately for not speaking enough about certain issues. Islam, for instance. One accused me of going “soft on Islam.” I’ve never been soft on Islam, but if I don’t speak about the evils of this false ideology as much as I once did it’s because I woke up to the fact that while Islam could destroy our country in 50 to 100 years, the implementation of advanced AI and the digitized surveillance state could destroy our country in the next 12 months, certainly by 2030 at the latest.
Think of it this way: You see a man, 50 yards away, looking at you menacingly and reaching for a knife. At the same time, you see a man 10 yards away reaching for a loaded pistol, cocking it and pointing it at your head. Both are dangerous and want to kill you. Both may even be working together toward your demise. But which one are you going to focus your attention on first? I think it’s pretty obvious. The guy who’s closer and has a more lethal weapon has to be your first priority. After you deal with him, then you can focus on the other who’s a little farther away.
We live in an age of deception, per Jesus’ warning in Matthew 24, and it’s only going to get worse in 2026. There are many voices and forces, including some who act as decoys, vying for our attention.
You’re never going to escape the system as long as you continue to believe that it’s real. It all starts with the realization that what we are presented with each day on the “news” is theater, an extension of the bread and circuses meant to distract, disorient, and misdirect.
As we stand at the dawn of a new year, try to find joy and meaning in the simple things. Your family. Your friends. Time alone with God.
The scripture that comes to mind is Micah 6:8 (NKJV).Meditate on it:
He has shown you, O man, what is good;
And what does the Lord require of you
But to do justly,
To love mercy,
And to walk humbly with your God?
They key here is not trying to change the world but walking humbly with its Creator. Sometimes we have to unplug from those who walk in vanity and self-worship. The alternative is to get sucked into following a fake man, a fake movement, a false paradigm, and a false christ, all based on fake promises of a new “Golden Age.”
We may not be able to change the ungodly system that runs America and the world, but we can refuse to submit and give it power over our lives.

Leo, while i do not share your religious convictions, i have always appreciated your perspective and consistency. I think i found you originally from Conservative treehouse.

I must admit that i was very thoroughly blackpilled a long time before that was even a term. I stayed out of politics and was not even registered to vote for at least 20 years, when i reluctantly but progressively warmed to the idea that trump might actually be that once in a generation outsider that could change the trajectory of the madness engulfing this former republic. this was based on equal parts of the things he said in his stump speeches, and the outrage porn i succumbed to at how flagrant the marxsts and fascists had become against us all in their pursuit of power during the illegitimate reign of Biden.
—
i registered to vote and voted for Trump in 2024. since that moment, my glimmer of hope (and my wife’s that i would not be such a negative nancy) has turned to one of the more important lessons of my life… to reiterate why i was so cynical about our ability to vote our way out of the death of our republic.
—
i can see now what a silly and disingenuous fanbase it all was, including from the website mentioned above. the lame excuses have shifted quickly from the ones like above (“it could’ve been WORSE”) to full throated glee at cheering for things they claimed to loath just a few months before – not because it made america better, or helped me live my life.. but literally because trump did it, so it must be great. the MAGA movement deserves to fall off a cliff with their revelation that they are just another CULT.
—
continuos events, not all trump but certainly the trajectory, lead me to believe he was every bit as SELected as Biden was before him, because her serves the interesst of the Leviathan who has destroyed the republic. right up to this weekend with the venezuela thing but even the CIA admission that we were involved in the hit on putin’s home and trump is letting them do whatever they want after all (instead of yet another excuse that he “isn’t in control”), all filtered through kindergarten gutter language and justifications that no longer even ATTEMPT to represent ourselves as the good guys… good lord…
—
i am deeply embarrassed at the role i played in it and how i was taken in by the prospect of righting this ship. and i will certainly not lift a finger to help them in 2026 or beyond as the marxists and fascists return to rip us to even smaller shreds than we are already in.

let it come, already. we deserve the leadership we consent to.

The US has brazenly captured Venezuela’s Maduro and his wife and has spirited them away to some gulag, thence to a kangaroo court afterwards. It was a relatively painless operation for the US (no Americans killed, but no mention how many Venezuelans were killed by our pyrotechnics). It has all the earmarks of CIA/black ops bribery of Venezuelan military and other officials to offer no resistance while Maduro was betrayed. Rather like the operation against Syria last year, which left that country in ruins, and also what we did against President Diem and his brother in South Vietnam in 1963, resulting in their assassinations, a CIA installed military junta, and more American boots on the ground in Vietnam. To date, the US has overthrown covertly or overtly more than 70 governments globally since 1945 and we left all of them in some degree of ruin and chaos. Is the the character of a moral democracy at work–the city on the hill we once called ourselves– or something really evil? Some day there will be payback big time for all this criminality and the millions who died as a result of it are pointing their ghostly fingers in accusation at us. But for now, our media will make sure we don’t care as nothing truthful or important will be told to us. The mentality being imposed upon us is like Saturday morning cartoons.
Trump feeds us the line that Maduro was a drug king-pin, but this is a lie just to make uncritical American feel good about his piracy, murder and other illegal actions that was supposedly to save us from drug addiction. A lie because before Chavez took control of Venezuela in 2005, our CIA/DEA was running cocaine through Venezuela (as they were with Columbia). Chavez put an end to OUR drug trade and subsequent Venezuelan regimes, including Maduro’s, kept the drug trade out. The fact that Trump ordered our military to seize oil tankers and confiscated both tankers and oil shows what he was really after. This conflict is ALL about keeping BRICS trade and influence out of the Western Hemisphere. Neither China nor Russia has the capability to project their power outside their own neighborhoods. Not compared to us who invade everywhere to impose our unipolarity. I suppose the drug trade will now be truly re-established in Venezuela by our toadies there to generate more revenue to be laundered through our crooked banks. Venezuela might well end up looking like Mexico with all its cartels and wholesale murder. Is this what MAGA voted for?? Conservatives—what do you actually stand for?? Trump does not represent anything moral or benign.
Robert F. Kennedy Sr spent most of his career aggressively fighting organized crime. He wrote a book “The Enemy Within” in 1960 about the growing influence of organized crime in our political system. But like his brother, he was taken out. The hope of America as a rational, peaceful, law-abiding nation died with them. Since the coup d’etat of November 22, 1963 the US has been falling into a black hole of grotesque corruption, constant warmongering, betrayal and lawlessness. For decades every aspect of our government has been almost totally bought off by a “foreign entity” and its American billionaire supporters. Congressman Paul Finlay wrote about it in the 1980s; Prof. John Mearsheimer wrote a about it in 2007, but it’s only gotten worse. We’ll be going to war with Iran soon on its behalf. On behalf of that foreign entity, Trump in 2017 pardoned the most damaging spy ever to have engaged in espionage against the US—Jonathan Pollard (and his handler). Pollard is proud to have betrayed us. He moved his traitor ass to that “foreign entity” where he is today treated as a hero, yet somehow still retains his American citizenship. That “foreign entity” (our supposed ally) then sold the secrets Pollard gave them to Russia. In addition, Trump has pardoned numerous drug king-pins, including one of the biggest from Honduras recently. Why?? Why does Trump so favor the evil and lawless?? Is he subject to blackmail is he truly evil himself?? I think it’s both.
Trump supports the AI technocracy and its evil agendas, some of which is being tested on hapless victims in Palestine and other places. It’s the billionaire playground right now because it’s like having the powers of a god. It’s history repeating itself–like how the German industries used then-modern technology to wipe out their victims during WWII. I agree with Leo that this technology is a real threat and its capabilities grow daily by leaps and bounds—no one can keep up with it or effectively protect themselves from it. But behind the technology still stands a much greater threat—infiltration of evil actors (both Left and Right, foreign and domestic) that make us do their biding, stick us with the cost of their rampages in our blood and treasure, and corrupt our laws and values and culture. It seems to me we are losing this battle against this overwhelming evil because it’s almost impossible to even get the whole truth and nothing but the truth from anywhere. You really have to dig deep for it. You have to get educated to even know what we have to fight against. And few take the trouble.

I’m not here to encourage or discourage anyone with regard to their political behavior. I’m here to help people think for themselves and see the world objectively, not through the eyes or ears of their favorite politicians. Those who are awake see that freedom is trending downward since 9/11 and even faster since Covid. We lost as much under GW Bush and Trump as we have under Obama and Biden. You are on your own. The system is not going to save you. If you think a politician is going to save the economy, save your job, save your freedoms, you’re under a strong delusion. It’s all collapsing. What they have planned as a replacement is being forged right now under Trump with the construction of AI data centers and 6G. This is the digital infrastructure for the surveillance state. 5G was implemented under Trump 1.0, along with warp speeded death shots, and AI/6G is being warp speeded under Trump 2.0. So much for our freedoms.

I do not trust any politician sir, and especially not at the level of president. To make it to that level you have to be compromised and ready to sell out the American people. It’s stupid to even argue who is better or worse between Biden and Trump. They both serve the interests of the globalists in a burgeoning technocracy, albeit in different ways. In fact, one would not exist without the other thanks to the Hegelian dialectic. And the fact that you are so eager to argue from a left-right/Democrat-Republican paradigm tells me you have zero understanding of how our corrupt system works. God help you and all those trapped in the left-right psy op. Your minds need to be freed from these chains before your eyes can see the truth of how both “sides” are wings of the same bird.

I’ve been a reader for quite a while. I whole-heartedly agree with your assessment of the fool’s game of politics. I’ve been voting for almost 54 years. Is it fixed yet? No, and never will.
Trump was “allowed” back to fast track AI, data centers, and restart and rebuild the massive legacy power systems they will need. The democrats, because of their “green” commitments, can’t restart coal, natural gas, or nuclear. You and I will have wind and solar, AI gets the reliable power to operate our digital prison.

There will be no revival. There will only be strong delusion (2 Thessalonians 2:10-12), apostasy/falling away (2 Thessalonians 2:3) & people refusing to repent even in the face of judgments & disasters (Revelation 9:20-21).
The “tribulation revival” myth is just another unBiblical pillar of the Danite early escape heresy used as justification for butchering Revelation & throwing away the parts that scare them.
