Monday December 9th 2024 Member training, the ninth and final part of a series of trainings on understanding and identifying propaganda.
Tonight’s discussion revolves around recognizing and overcoming modern propaganda and conspiracy theories, emphasizing the importance of wisdom and discernment in understanding the influences of society. The speaker references scriptural teachings, particularly from the Book of Mormon, to highlight the need for individuals to be aware of emotional manipulation and to rely on their God-given intellect. The conversation touches on the concept of predictive programming in media, where subtle messages are embedded to shape public perception and acceptance of certain ideas, leading to a gradual normalization of previously unacceptable concepts. The speaker warns against complacency and encourages active engagement in seeking truth, urging listeners to question authority and not simply follow leaders without personal investigation. The overarching theme is a call to action for individuals to reclaim their agency and to be vigilant against the forces that seek to undermine their faith and freedom.

TRANSCRIPT
So we are at our part nine of recognizing modern compaganda and we are going to
get above it today. So that’s our focus. There will be a couple tools that we will
kind of pull everything together but it’s really important that we talk about the
solutions and how we get above what the conspiracy is trying but not going to
exceed with us trying to do to us.
So So Moroni says in the book of Ether, he says, “Wherefore, O ye Gentiles, it is
wisdom in God that these things should be shown unto you, that thereby ye may
repent of your sins and suffer not that these murderous combinations shall get above
you.” I like how that tied in with what Rod shared with us. “Yea,
even the sword of the justice of the eternal God shall fall upon you, to your
overthrow and destruction, if ye shall suffer these things to be.” We have a choice
there, if we choose.
“Wherefore, I, Moroni, and Commandant, who write these things, that evil may be done
away, and that the time may come, that Satan may have no power upon the hearts of
the children of men.” So we talked about that Last time Satan having power over the
hearts of the children of man. So from here on no more being emotionally
Emotionally manipulated We need to use our wisdom and our God -given brain much more
and we in the first commandment Is to love God with all our heart might mind and
strength and I think we sometimes forget about the mind part So we’re going to
continue continue on with being wise to what God would have us do.
In Helaman chapter 12 verse four, it says, “How slow to do good are the children
of men. “Yay, how quick to hearken unto the words of the evil one “and to set
their hearts upon the vain things of the world.
“How slow are they to remember the Lord their God “and to give ear unto his
counsels. “Yay, how slow to walk in wisdom’s paths.
Behold, they do not desire that the Lord their God, who hath created them, should
rule and reign over them. Notwithstanding his great goodness and his mercy towards
them, they do set it not his counsels, and they will not that he should be their
guide.
But there is hope, so this is what we do about that. Or, “Blessed are they who
will repent and hearken unto the voice of the Lord their God, for these are they
that shall be saved.” We have a choice as to whose voice we listen to, right?
Piper’s and the conspiracy and their propaganda or the voice of the Lord our God.
And our Savior Jesus Christ and John 10 .27 said, “My sheep hear my voice and I
know them and they follow me and I give unto them eternal life and they shall
never perish neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand but we have to follow
his voice so no one follow the voice of Christ alone forsake the world’s voices
which are tempting and relentless like all the things alluring just very very cunning
non -stop voices and and one of the big things that these voices do is to normalize
evil and we have to be really this is a very effective tool and so I wanted to
kind of end with this in capstone all that we’ve been talking about because it’s
really is leading to something, all this normalizing of wickedness that we’re seeing.
So what is normalizing? Over time, desensitizing your responses to a normally
shocking, deceitful, or offensive stimulus through repetition and gentle,
gradual contact. So remember the frog in the boiling water, right? If you were to
throw hot water at anyone or a frog it would leap away right we recoil and horror
we would be very upset and not allow that but the conspiracy they know that so
they don’t throw hot water at you but that first stage is aversion okay they know
that’s what they’re dealing with with you is you will have an aversion to these
things so what do they do to get you to accept it that’s the next step is they
just turn up the heat a little bit or just raise the amount a little bit the
level of water and but it’s very incremental and then their goal is for you to
embrace the evil over a time the sooner the better but it’s important that you
don’t jump out of the pot so they’ll take decades centuries however long But this
goes on for decades and a perfect example of that is the sodomite supremacy agenda,
which we all know how our grandparents would talk about that and our parents.
And in our day, this is not something we accepted, right? But then,
you know, year after year, we just get to the point where you’re so beat down and
just there’s all over the media and movies and and and news.
I remember Fox News was the worst. You can’t get away from it. So you’re just like
at some point you’re like just let me live my life. You do you I’ll do me and
they’ve won at that point where where you say well whatever you do in your bedroom
is fine. I don’t care as long as it doesn’t affect me. That’s a win for them
because the next step is for you to embrace it. Because once you’ve accepted, then
they will work on you so that you embrace it. And now you’re celebrating it. And
now you call it pride. And now we change laws for it. And, and then our churches
are accepting this out of my supremacy agenda. And then there’s that full embracing
of wickedness. And then this is the process with any example. And what’s interesting
about this example with
transgenders is that word trans. I don’t know if you guys notice that word is very
popular. You hear trans all over the place. There’s a reason for that. Accepting
transgenders is not the final goal. What they really want you to do is to become a
transhuman and accept transhumanism. So this is all a process that’s taking you down
a road that you don’t want to go down, but you don’t necessarily know it because
you’re embracing all these little steps along the way. So just count on whatever
they normalize, we’ll always get more and more and more worse and unless we put a
stop to it, whatever we have now absolutely will get worse unless we start to plan
on it. So the next step to normalization is predictive programming.
And I could have talked about this when we talked about false flag events, but it
seemed appropriate here because it plays off of normalizing. So what is predictive
programming? You’ve probably heard of that before, hopefully. Normalizing and
foreshadowing over time ideas or events through the media to prime you to accept
them more readily, most often used for embracing manufactured false flag events or
activities that they want you to accept. So hopefully you just don’t question that.
You just accept what they’re you to to follow and you just obey.
So again it’s using this process of you might have an aversion to it at first but
then they’re going to get you to accept it. Now sometimes in this in this case
with predictive programming it’s very often subliminally they’ll just be images in the
background quick quick shots a quick word and then over time, they might get more
overt. And then at some point, you just embrace the idea. And it just feels feels
comfortable to you. And it doesn’t feel like boiling water. You like the temperature
to 110 degrees. Samantha. Yes, we got a hand up. Oh,
okay, we’ll go ahead. On the phone at 775. Okay.
I thought about this a lot with you know they started and gone with the wind they
said frankly my dear I don’t give a damn and every our grandparents or whatever at
the time they were mad they didn’t want it because they knew if they accepted that
that we would start accepting worse and now on primetime tv they’re using the F
word and everything because we did accept it and and then they started rating
movies. Before that they had to make all the movies so that they were family
friendly. When they started rating them they were able to do the X rated and the R
rated and the gradually add in all of the garbage and one movie I went with some
friends to see the Titanic and I hadn’t watched a lot and I was appalled by it
because here comes this guy who does what he gets her to drink gets her to be
immoral and all this stuff and then when she dies at the end who who should go to
him instead of the man she had a family with and stuff.
The whole thing bugged me.
– Yeah. – That’s all. – Good, thank you. Yeah, it’s a really good concept to see
where they’ve used it on you and how they’ve used it over time. And there’s so
many, so many good examples.
So this was an example of predictive programming that was very alarming to me
because I was completely ignorant until someone pointed this out and I created a bit
of cognitive dissonance and but then when you looked at looked into it for 9 /11
there was a massive amount of imagery and media and TV shows and comic books and
all sorts of things predicting or showing what would happen on September 11th,
2001. So all these examples and films and TV and whatnot are from the 1980s and
1990s. These are just quick snippets that I pulled together. It’s actually harder to
find a lot of the YouTube videos that I used to have showing a lot of this stuff
because they’re memory -holding it. And they call predictive programming a conspiracy
theory which is ludicrous because you look at the preponderance of evidence and how
many of these things are coincidence and it’s not. So 9 /11 had quite a bit of
predictive programming. Back to the future was also in. Back to the future is a lot
of predictive programming in it. And the Simpsons TV show on the bottom right there
is full of predictive programming, where the conspiracy is telling you things that
they want to happen. Now, when it happens exactly, I guess that’s up to them. I
don’t know how they decide that, but they know that they want these events to
happen. And so back to that revelation of the method,
they will show you and it shows their power, but mostly it gets you to accept it
and not question because it feels so normal for two huge towers that are made of,
you know, the strongest steel on earth to come down, right? – Design to withstand a
plane attack. – Yeah, exactly. – And they might not know when it is, but like the
year, but it’s clear, as you can see there from the Simpsons and back to the
future, that it was supposed to be September 11th. There are dates that they want
things done, that they want things done, even if it’s not a specific year.
Yeah, yeah. So definitely, yeah, the Simpsons 9 /11, it shows you right in hiding
and playing site that they did pick 9 /11 for that event.
So there are so many examples of predictive programming from Space travel to weather
destruction, viruses are huge. There’s a massive amount in the media about viruses
before they happen. Wars and civil war is a big one right now.
Gun violence, before you have these school shootings and stuff, they predictively
program you that way. Mind control, demons and monsters, and then the anti Christ is
a big one. And these things, you won’t know it necessarily until the big reveal and
then you’ll look back and went, oh, yeah, they were teasing us about that back
when. So there are a lot of evil ideas they want you to accept when they do this
predictive programming. And basically the concept is, is they want a total rebellion
and the breaking of God’s laws in all its forms, and they want you from you,
like they want you to rebel against God, and they want to break God’s laws in
every single way, to basically invert everything God has done in the most horrific
ways. And so how do they get you to accept that, right? You’re going to be a, you
know, you’re going to be a void of that, and you’re going to rebel if you see
what they’re doing, right? will not when they do it in their subtle way. So these
are the things they want you to accept. Sexual degeneracy, immorality, idolatry,
and pride, right? So we talk about movies for sure that’s in there. Every
experimental health science and technology innovation, there’s always a problem that
compels them to innovate and to create this new tech.
Social, bio, and geoengineering, climate change, which is basically eugenics,
which is depopulation.
So they’re gonna get you to accept that in these subtle, subtle ways.
They want you to accept no boundaries, privacy, personal autonomy, or property.
Occult demonic Masonic practices, so they’ll do this in concerts and sporting events,
and they want a full return to paganism, which basically means every religion is
just paganized more than it already is, but Christianity becomes pagan now. That’s
what they want. Destruction of the kingdom of God principles and destruction of the
priesthood
because that’s a threat That’s that’s a huge huge threat. So they need to break
that down destroy that and They want you to accept their one -world religion now.
So we talked about this before when we talked about coexist And it’s basically
accept all religions. They can all they’re They’re all great and harmonized together,
isn’t that wonderful? They don’t because they’re completely at odds, most religions,
and that’s masonry basically is the only system whereby all religions work together,
so that’s a free masonry concept. But the one -world religion, to me, I consider it
transhumanism, which I think deserves its own training at some point. But it’s
basically where all this is pushing to this one world religion,
where we’re basically rejecting everything God has done. And under Satan,
we’re going to follow him in this, this one world religion. The loaded topic right
there. But they want us to ultimately accept the mark of the beast, which was a
huge win for them. They want us to accept the Antichrist when he comes and the New
World Order. So it’s all leading up to this.
And then we talked about this, how do they get you to do that? They want you to
accept their problem reaction solution process. So they pose the problem,
you react you react accordingly, “Oh, here’s a solution,” and it pushes all these
agendas. And it really is chaotic, but they consider themselves creating order out of
chaos.
And God is a God of order, so this chaos is not from God. Of course it’s a test
and he’s allowing this chaos. He’s allowing the combinations to do their thing,
but we choose and we should see what they’re doing, whether or not we want to
support it. And you have any comments, Bandy? Do you have any comments on this?
It’s like the most loaded slide ever. There’s a lot there. And I think we look at
those destruction of the Kingdom of God principles and priesthood, especially there.
There are certain things that they make unpopular to talk about or unpopular to
believe or to say, and it’s those things that are usually essential to those two
principles right there. – Yeah, there really is a big one to get you to reject the
teachings, the scriptures, the laws of God.
Okay, so all this is brought to you by those that are your fellow global citizens,
good global citizens, and the United Nations, they are a big, big crowd sponsor of
all this chaos.
So I want to tie that into this, I hate this image, I hate showing it, but I
have to show it. This bath of Met image, which represents their God,
just one of many forms of Satan, this bath this bathroomette. So in this image,
I don’t know if you’ve ever noticed before, but there’s tattoos on its arms, and on
the right arm is Salve, and on the left arm is Coagula. And that’s Latin, and it
means, you know, in my English rough translation, basically a breaking down and
building up. So Salve is like solvent, Coagula is kind of like Coagulate,
Right? So, but the principle, the concept is, is there’s, they want a breaking down
and building up of the old order, break down the old order and create a newer
order of the ages. So the United Nations and all those that follow them use this
coded language, which is, which is basically teaching this principle, this really
wicked principle. And by the way, both. So notice how there’s wings of this
baphomet. Isn’t that interesting? How left wing, there’s a right wing. So both of
the wings are used in implementing this new order of the ages,
Build Back Better. And so that’s Biden rights and the Democrats use that phrase.
And then Trump said, “The path to peace and progress, a better world.
They’re talking about the same idea here, this order out of chaos.
I found this. Make America great again. Yeah, exactly. And it’s just, you know,
the little versions of it, some of some of the waters a little hotter, the waters
are a little, you know, not heated up as much, but it’s all boiling the frog. It’s
all getting us there. And it just looks differently. So I found this post that I
was pretty interesting. This is from November 6th of this year, 2024. I congratulate
President -Elect Donald J. Trump at Real Donald Trump on his election victory.
As President of the United Nations General Assembly, I look forward to the continued
collaboration with the United States, a founding member of this organization,
deeply committed to advancing global peace, human rights, and development,
development of what? This new world order. So they just, they’re all left,
right, they’re all part of this, all good global governments getting together and
they use this double speak. If you read the, on the right side, the United a motto
is peace, dignity, and quality on a healthy planet. Well, guess what a healthy
planet means to them? It means less humans, right?
What is peace to them? No war because you’re basically a slave and there’s no one
left to fight them, right? So these words have meaning to them. They don’t mean
what we want them to mean they mean what they mean to them. And it’s important
that we understand their language.
So they’ll repeat these lies over and over and use these tools ad nauseam over and
over and over. A lie told often enough becomes the truth. I mean, it’s it’s a
scientific fact like that actually happens in your brain. And you don’t even know it
was a lie to begin with, but you hear it so much, it must be true. So they
brainwash this over and over again and just just keep the process up because it
works unfortunately So repetition is a huge part of what they’re going to do and
and if they don’t get you today They’ll get you in a few days or they’ll get you
in a year. What do they care? They’re very patient with it so All of this all
these tools all these things we’ve been talking about. it really is just the tip of
the iceberg. There’s there’s a lot deeper we could go, but hopefully it’s inspired
each one of you to research those ideas that are interesting to you that you feel
like maybe is a weakness or be able to teach other people what what they need to
know about these principles and these these wicked tools that are used against us.
So what are the solutions? That’s that’s what I wanted to get to today and and I’m
so grateful for Rod and what he said in In the intro is repentance.
That’s that’s the biggest
Biggest help for us to to overcome this propaganda is when you realize you’ve been
lied to
Repent for following and obeying lies and for following false traditions and having
sacred cows. And when you recognize that, don’t do it anymore and be humble and
teachable that there are things that you’re probably still doing, that there’s things
that maybe you recognize and there’s things that you probably don’t recognize yet. So
don’t be prideful about it don’t dig in your heels or oh not me I’m too smart for
that because we’re all pretty smart here but we’ve all been fooled. It’s not about
being smart it’s just you’ve been brainwashed and you’re in this wicked world where
Satan has had rain and really good at what he does. So it it shouldn’t actually
cause you to be humble and I would hope that we’d be teachable to what we don’t
know and I know that this was important to me to really quickly learn what I
needed to overcome. Unless I’ve been saying for the last several trainings is don’t
be emotionally manipulated, use your brain more, right? Your heart is a wonderful
thing, but use it in concert with wisdom and what God has taught what
you know, like know why you believe what you believe. And it’s important to know
our enemy. So we’ve, we talked about it here and hopefully you guys understand what
are the enemy’s goals, what does conspiracy want to do, right? Ultimately, it’s a
new world order, but how are they trying to get us there? What are their tactics?
And then the language is really important. Because they do tell us and they do hide
in plain sight. So visual language and the words they use. And this important
concept, don’t take anything from the hand of an enemy. How often do we do that?
Like, unfortunately, all the time. And so each time you realize that you’re consuming
something, you’re ingesting something that’s from your enemy, like that goes back to
repentance, stop doing that, and really try and cut down all that intake because
obviously your enemy wants to destroy you whether they do it with you death by a
thousand cuts or you know one dramatic move it’s it’s all bad like you you don’t
want you don’t want to be part of that process so we’ll talk we’ll get back to
this in a second and then embrace being peculiar You are weird when you do all
these things and you remove yourself from Babylon’s teachings and from both traditions
and from the lies that most people follow and believe.
You start to feel very peculiar and like a black sheep, but you’re not. You’re
trying to be kingdom of God principle. You’re trying to do only that which builds
up God and his kingdom and that’s where you want to be and there’s a lot of room
there for us to grow. I know that I have a long way to go to truly be worthy I
believe of you know of Zion and the kingdom of God but that’s our way forward.
And then fleeing Babylon not just rejecting Babylon but like getting out of Babylon
and that is a really tricky loaded thing but every step you take is an important
solution to being less influenced by Satan and his devices.
Ben, do you have anything you wanna add to this slide here?
– Sorry, I had to unmute. – Yeah. – I mean, there’s lots. I was gonna wait until
afterwards, like maybe open form, especially with Flea Babylon, DNC Five,
I think it is really talks a lot about that that call has already been made. It’s
not something to wait for the Lord’s already said it Samuel left a comment I
literally liked a lot in the in the chat as well as why did the Lord not I mean
why did the Lord need to say come out of Her my people and be not partakers of
her sins and plagues if we are wise enough and Not part of this wicked world.
So clearly we’ve been sucked into it, and we need to overcome it. I just couldn’t
agree with you more. Yeah, thank you. Those are great. Great additions. Okay,
I think I’ll show, I’ll try and show this video.
It’s really unfortunate, right? Because of the conspiracy, they know that what they
do works, and so they try it in spades. And even though we kind of know what
they’re doing, we still kind of fall for it. Like we know they’re baiting us,
but we still kind of take the bait. So I wanted to share this video,
and I think it won’t take long for you to get the idea of what’s happening here.
We go, “Oh, those dumb rats, right?
Okay, that’s us guys. Okay, that’s us guys.
And then, and then they just get really clever. So these are all, you know, just
different versions of the same thing. They’re all traps and devices to lead you to
your destruction. And you just, You don’t know it. That’s what the propaganda is.
You don’t know it. You think you’re fine. Oh, look at this new thing. It looks so
interesting. And so you just, you don’t realize that the end of it is the poisoned
food or, you know, the, the imminent death that happens after you’re trapped.
And we don’t think of that. We don’t think of how serious us being baited is,
but it really is.
So
you get the idea, right?
So
That’s why we don’t take anything from the hand of the enemy because left or right
blue bucket or red bucket they both lead to our destruction and The sooner we start
seeing that the sooner we we have we flee and have nothing to do with those trying
to bait us and And it’s really just foolishness to think that we’re not susceptible
So So I have some challenges for everyone. And I think these will help everyone to
be more principled and to kind of see better what the conspiracy is doing. So if
you haven’t already, please take the Tree of Liberty Society’s bootcamp.
So those are available online if you have done it and it’s been a while,
maybe take them again or share it with family members. It’s great for teenagers as
well. I really, there’s a lot of good principles in there to help people be wise
and to see what the secret combinations are trying to do to destroy freedom.
Important step is identifying your confirmation biases or false traditions. And this
one was a big one for for me really was a huge eye -opener and I highly recommend
this website Faithful Saints to help you to maybe consider some principles that are
unprincipled that you that you’re living like you have sacred cows and there’s
articles about sacred cows and and they’re not and so we’re betraying our our
knowledge of the scriptures. We’re betraying God because we don’t know what the
scriptures actually say. So I really like this website because it gets into the
scriptures and what they say and what Joseph Smith says and Brigham Young and so
that we are our wiser and avoiding these false traditions.
Okay, third thing, identify common conspiracy teachings and counterfeits. That’s what
we’ve been doing for all these trainings, hopefully from here on you can do that,
like that’s something that you are will be much better at I hope and and be able
to not fall for them.
Okay this is gonna be a hard one I think for most people, that’s why I didn’t do
it first, but it probably should be number one, do a serious media cleanse.
Now, what do I mean by that?
What I mean is, is that if you can’t go a day without scrolling on social media,
you’re probably an info junkie. And if you don’t think that you are,
like, be prayerful about it, because consuming So much media that is Satan is the
author of, and it’s just all consuming. You are swallowing so much poison,
and maybe it’s just tiny bit here, tiny bit there. And I know a lot of people
make excuses like, well, I want to be wise, I want to know what’s happening, you
know, and so I got to watch a lot of Tucker Carlson to see what’s going on. I
know he’s not totally true to it. Okay, you’re swallowing poison, like you don’t
need to do that in order to help other people. You don’t have to consume mass
quantities and you don’t have to consume it every day. So see if you can take a
fast, take a break for a week or two or longer. And I did that and I’m telling
you, it made a huge difference in my life. It really helped me to take the next
steps so that I can be more principled and understand what God wanted me to
understand.
Ben, do you have anything to say about this? I think this is an important thing,
especially as we learn these propaganda techniques that we’ve fallen for, that we
separate ourselves because it’s something that is, I don’t watch TV anymore,
but sometimes I’ll go out of town and I’ll turn on the TV in the hotel room, and
I’m like, holy cow, like the difference, you know, the propaganda becomes stark and
becomes obvious. And so that if you do this fast,
then when you do, you know, something happens where you do watch the propaganda, the
propaganda will be more obvious because you haven’t been boiled slowly to that point
yet. And so it’ll be much more helpful for you when you do see it. Yeah.
And you know, it’s emotionally invested. It’s like when you’re like, every day, every
day, you get emotionally invested. And when you step away, a lot of that emotion
takes it back, see, and you are able to be more analytical, you are able to look
at things with true principles, is this is this true or is this false? And you’re
not caught up in the trends or, you know, the just the motionality of what’s
happening in that very moment. You just think of CNN versus Fox, right?
Yeah. CNN is like, it’s the Democrat, Fox News is the Republican. But the Fox News
that gets the so -called conservatives, all of, well, I don’t know, maybe not all of
them, but a vast number of the hosts are just eye candy for immorality.
And so they get you sucked in with this, and then they get you, the boiling the
frog gets you used to people that are just there to be eye candy for you and so
it’s it’s there’s that you can you can just look at these different things that
they do even though they’re telling you this truth that you want to hear what what
else are they what else are they inserting into what where is the other poison
besides the lies that they’re telling you there’s much more poison to it than just
the lies yeah and I jump in
I had the same thing happen to me because I haven’t watched TV a lot and when I
watched local news I was
Dumbfounded with way KSL was working things and I thought well, I watched KU TV
anyway. I turned it there and it was worse I
Didn’t get upset about the propaganda there. I have, I have you friends helping me
try to get away from Travis and Sexton and Hannity and, and,
and those, but it doesn’t upset me as bad as, as the church.
Your little mice things, if you’d had a little mouse setting up there at the
junction of the two buckets in a suit representing some person in church saying you
got to go here, got to go there. I felt like I’ve been manipulated and lied to by
some of the lessons that I’ve given in church. I feel like I’ve been misled by
the slant of the scriptures, this land of the General Authorities and their teaching,
that upsets me more than Russian ball Sean Hannity and and even the TV I’ve never
trusted them.
When I was a kid the only thing I watched on TV was football and and this will
really show my age. fireman frank and captain casey if any of you know what what
they were
no i don’t you don’t morning cartoons so
we but we are participating right We’ve delegated our authority,
we’ve relegated our thinking to others. So it’s important and it is upsetting,
you do want to get mad at those that have lied to you, these are all natural
things, but realize that we have participated in the indoctrination.
And so once you realize that, then you stop and then you take a better course,
right? So from here on, be principled.
Say what you believe and believe what you say. If you say you believe the
scriptures, then know what’s in them and live what’s in them. If you believe the
revelations, you believe Joseph Smith, well know what he said about things. Do what
he did, right? Follow what he taught the prophet of the restoration. If you are a
follower of Christ, well follow the true Christ and not the New Age cartoony
versions that were, you know, nice Jesus that’s everywhere around us. Be truly
principled from here on, because if you’ve been duped, well, that was on you,
but from here on it’s a choice. And so, for me,
and I’m grateful for Ben and for Tree of Liberty in teaching me to be hold and to
really think about principles over personalities. And, and that’s, I can’t,
I can’t encourage that more. So reject lies and indoctrination,
right? Follow global experts. Because that’s, they will help you understand what is
true and what, what is just conditioning. Pursake evil and reject all enemies to
freedom. There are a lot out there. There is a lot of evil out there.
And, and so it’s, it will be a full -time job to just forsake the evil that is
out there. And, and the people that are placed in front of us as our,
you know, as these false heroes and, and these, you know,
people that are put on pedestals, but they’re really enemies to freedom. Does anyone
have any comments on this slide here?
I just wanted to comment what you just said there just a minute ago.
I thought it was really good. It’s what he said about the church. You think about
the way they’ve done things down. What is there a constant saying?
Follow the leaders. Follow the leaders. And it didn’t used to be that way. It used
to be find out for yourself. You don’t trust anyone else. You need to know for
yourself. And that used to be the early leaders all they ever said. So I really
appreciated what you brought out there.
Thanks. anyone else have anything they want to add here?
It’s really important that we speak up when we see things that are wrong, even if
we’re not sure or we trust the person and we don’t want to hurt their feelings.
Like it’s super important because it’s not contentious to speak for truth,
right?
You’re not being on Christ’s light when you see something wrong and you don’t want
to go along with it And just allow it to fly
but Okay, so no one caught it did anyone catch I threw a little test out there
And I don’t know if you guys are being shy or what Um, does anyone have a problem
with what I wrote there in number six? I was going to say something. Okay. I wish
you said something. Let’s just hope it says something. Okay.
I, I, I did that on purpose. We should not follow global experts guys. No one said
anything. Come on. That was a test. That was a test. All right.
I thought you were being sarcastic. No. It, Well, it could have been a typo, right?
But let’s say it was a typo. Like you got it. You got to get on me. I was sure
you met Ben
Still don’t try don’t follow me still don’t do that. Oh, don’t follow him and he
the global is a bad word, right? It’s kingdom of God is not global, right? So so
anyway, I tricked you guys. I don’t want you to just to just follow anyone,
learn for yourself, right? Samuel was just saying that he nailed the principle. So
but do it in action, right? Don’t hold off like in the moment. And I was terrible
during the fake pandemic. I was just shy and I just avoided, you know, confrontation
as much as possible. But there are there are teaching moments and people are
watching our example. And when we’re brave, it helps others be brave. So when we
learn this stuff for ourselves, the lies indoctrination, we need to teach others and
never just take anyone’s word for it. Do not take my word for any of the stuff
that have been teaching these last several trainings. Please research yourself. Please
know and get your own witness, your own testimony by the Spirit and what God wants
you to understand. And you will understand and know things and learn things that I
don’t understand and you can help me. And how important that is, that we aren’t
just sheep, right? We can be sheep when we follow Christ, but with other people,
no, no. Then we’re following Pied Pipers. So let’s be brave about that.
Samantha? Yes. I just wanted to comment on the one slide that you had know their
language. And I think that’s super important because they do have a language and
right now, one of the things that you pointed out was the good global citizen.
And that was used heavily during COVID. And so I,
that’s one thing to really pay attention to because
people that we trust, You think that at certain people who used that terminology
that we highly trusted, right? Yeah, they’re Religion was a big one because how many
people truly completely and totally wholeheartedly Trust their religious leaders And if
your religious leader is using their language That should be a really big red flag.
Yeah. Because maybe they’re being alternated themselves. And maybe they’re doing on
purpose, or maybe they’re just falling for the propaganda. But either way, it’s a
bad sign, right? Yep. What’s that, Ben? Yeah, the test that you gave right there,
that’s one that I fail a lot because, and maybe you can speak to this and help me
out. I don’t want to be that guy that’s always pooping and everybody’s punch -able.
You know, if somebody says something wrong, you know, incorrect or a bad principle,
a lot of times I’ll just let it slide because otherwise I’m just acting like a
know -it -all. I’m, you know, what’s this, the brainy smurf, right? It was just
annoying and just contradicting everybody And, you know,
the things along those lines. And so I don’t want to be that guy, but how do I
stand up for truth without being that guy? I has a really good question because
people have different levels of understanding, right? And if someone is at a lower
level, but they’re moving along in the right direction, you want to like jump on
them, right? And then, and then, and so there is this sensitivity to have but for
me I think the biggest help that I’ve had is each day I’m praying that Heavenly
Father will help me have the spirit to know what to say just to help me to know
if I should speak up in the moment and to fill my mouth with His words or to say
nothing because sometimes you shouldn’t say anything. Maybe it’s not helpful. Because
I usually have a lot to say. And so sometimes saying nothing is the right thing.
But other times, yeah, you might say something that offends, but if you’re coming
from a place of love, and then you’ve said this, if you’re coming from a place of
love, you’re not trying to embarrass anyone or step on them. You’re trying to help
understand what they mean. Like, did you this and and also help them and lead them
in a better direction and so it’s it’s really important I believe to have have the
spirit and to have just discernment in in the ways of of what helps people to
progress does that make sense yeah absolutely yeah along those lines Ben I think
something that has helped me in the past is, I struggle with that same thing,
is, is what I’m going to share an opinion or a correction of truth?
And so if it’s a correction, if somebody states a false doctrine or gets a
principle wrong, I feel that that is worthy of me making mention.
If I just disagree and I’m about to out off maybe my opinion or my experience,
that is something that I think I’ve tried to cut down on. But when somebody is
sharing a principle, that is an incorrect principle. I think those are all fair game
because as it was stated earlier in when gone with the wind thing,
the reason why it slipped so far is because they were the ones saying false things,
we never corrected them. And so I don’t think we’re wrong. I understand that the
anxiety that comes with that and being that person. Yeah. Yeah. That’s perfect. Who
is speaking, please? Oh, Dan. Thank you. Okay. I want to share this old fable with
you guys called the farmer and the snake. One winter day, a farmer found a snake
by the roadside, stiff and motionless with cold. “If you put me inside your shirt,”
the snake said, “your body will make me warm and I won’t freeze to death.” “Oh,
I know your kind,” replied the farmer. “If I pick you up, you will bite me.” “Oh,
no,” the snake objected. “Why would I do such a thing if you are good enough to
help me?” So the farmer had compassion on the snake And, taking it up,
he put it inside his shirt. The warmth quickly revived the snake, and, resuming its
natural instincts, it bit its benefactor, inflicting on him a mortal wound.
“Oh,” cried the farmer with his last breath, “why did you bite me? You promised you
wouldn’t.” “Ah,” said the snake, “so I did. But you knew I was a snake when you
picked me up.” Okay, I think everyone can get the obvious lesson in that in that
tale Why are we picking up snakes? We know what they are. They are going to do
exactly what they were designed to do and then we have the enemies to freedom and
enemies to To the kingdom of God they they we can pray for them.
Yes, we for our enemies, we love our enemies, but know that they’re going to do
what they’re going to do and we can’t pretend or look the other way or hope that
they won’t do it to us or won’t be as bad. That’s on us.
We have to be wiser than that and we need to quit feasting on the world’s toxic
buffet, right? Like we need to have the discernment on what is Poison and what is
pure truth and good for me? And what is God? What does God want me to consume?
There’s plenty examples in the scriptures where you have to be careful and you
shouldn’t take anything from the hand of an enemy Joseph and early saints were
Commanded to make their own wine for the sacrament wine of their own make the Lord
counseled them or commanded them to make? Why? What’s the principle behind that? Have
you thought about that? Are we doing that? So we need to not be prideful and think
that, oh, it won’t, it won’t happen to me or I’m, you know, I won’t succumb.
Like, it’s literally designed to, to, to, to bring you to destruction,
whether it’s slow or quick, it all, it all works in Satan’s playbook.
So instead of feasting on the world’s buffet, let’s feast upon the words of Christ.
In 2nd Nephi chapter 31, it says, this is verses 20 and 21,
“Wherefore ye must press forward with the steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect
brightness of hope and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press
forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, the saith
the Father, ye shall have eternal life.
And now behold, my beloved brother, and this is the way, and there is none other
way, nor name given under heaven, whereby man can be saved in the kingdom of God.
And now behold, this is the doctrine of Christ, and the only and true doctrine of
the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost which is one God without end.
Amen.
So wrapping up our training here.
I hope that I have helped and I’m so grateful for Ben for giving me this
opportunity to do these trainings and for all of you in the society and for your
examples to me and your helpful words and and the principles by which you espouse
and live, it’s really important that we support one another and lift each other in
righteousness. And so I’m grateful that I can speak to some of these things that I
have studied quite a bit and have been on my heart and on my mind for a few
years now. And I really, really can impress upon you more how important it is that
we go to Lord and find out for ourselves and be servants of Him and no more
slaves to Satan who we are in captivity right now. But we can,
we can be free. We can forsake Him and we can bind Him up.
And And so when we know that there’s evil, we have to do away with it in every
way possible.
So before I wrap up, there’s some great books that Ben and I have suggested,
and I’ll just put them up here for you. “The Hidden Things of Darkness” is a great
book talking about, it says an expose of the enemies of Christ. So that’s talking
about secret combinations.
“None Dare Call a Conspiracy” by Gary Allen is fantastic. “Shadows of Power” by
James Perloff. John Robeson “Proofs of a Conspiracy” that was done at Book Club
recently. Great book. I have to actually read that one still. “Art of Argument” I
threw in there because it’s really important to see the fallacies and trickery that
people use and their arguments and their language. And that book really,
really helped me and my family. And then I hope that people will go more often and
recommend to others the Learn tab and the Tree of Liberty Society website and that
boot camp in there. Super wonderful resource and all the articles to like start
sharing those and help people start thinking about things that would really raise the
culture up and that we become a kingdom of God culture and a liberty -loving culture
Okay, that’s it. Thank you everyone. Thank you, Ben
Wow nice job Samantha I’ve really appreciated these these weeks that you’ve been
going through this and If you have or have not, either way, what I would encourage
all of us to do is to go through again this eight part series to really just have
it be ingrained in us. Was it nine? This is part nine. Sorry. Thank you.
Nine part series on this because we’re going to need to undo a lot of the false
traditions that we’ve been entrenched with. And and reminders of this are gonna be
really, really important. And what I’m gonna do in the member portal as well is I’m
going to put these all into one long one and have it available as something that
you can just listen to and watch as one long presentation as well as the different
parts of it as well. Just as many ways as we have to be able to get this
ingrained in us is going to be really, really important. So, and then along with
the Learn tab, a reminder besides the boot camp, I appreciate Samantha bringing that
up. If you go to the Learn tab, we have the educational resources. And if you
haven’t gone through these, these are different articles and videos and PDF downloads
and audio things that you can listen to in all of these subjects, and they each
kind of build off the other. And so after you go through these, you can listen to
these, then you go to the next one, which is the proper role of secular government
and you listen to those. And so, and then just all through the nine different
sections. And if you’ve gone through the boot camp and you’re gone through the learn
section and you’re going to the weekly trainings, you are going to be properly
equipped to be able to be as effective as you can be. And because I know all of
us want to make sure that we’re not wasting our time. How many of us have found
out that we’ve fallen for some of these things that Samantha’s talked about? And so
it’s important for us, because we don’t how horrified we are when we realize what
we were doing in ignorance. And so the sooner we can overcome that, the better off
that will be, the happier that will be. So thank you again, Samantha, and let’s go
ahead and close up the official meeting and we’ll have open forum.
