The answers you get are only as good as the questions you ask. Granted, most people would agree with this statement, but the depth and power of this statement goes so much further down the rabbit hole, what I share in this article is likely to be far deeper than you ever imagined. I don’t think I’m overselling this point, but you be the judge.
Think of good interviews you’ve watched. What made them good are good interview questions. Poor interviewers can screw up an interview even with an interesting subject. A good pointed question in a political debate or a theological debate can expose a false statement and reveal the truth. But notice in a debate when a good question is asked that would stop a liar in their tracks, the best liars will not answer the question directly. Instead, they change the subject or make it appear they answered the question, because they know how dangerous direct questions can be to their cover.
So effective are these two related dangers that good people can and do find themselves drawing a conclusion they don’t really want to believe, but they have been tricked into believing it is the only true conclusion.
Whoever controls the questions controls the narrative. But suppose there isn’t a shrill with you all the time to ask you misleading questions in order to take your mind down the wrong path? Has evil ever devised a means to immediately trigger certain questions in your mind when an event happens or someone uses a certain phrase?
If there was or is such a methodology, then once the key programmed question comes to mind, the mind will follow a given path to seek the pre-determined answers to the questions. In fact, there is such a methodology, and it has had decades of refinement to become incredibly effective. Let’s talk about what this amazing methodology is.
We know that lies, fraud, manipulation, and control have been part of the human race since the Garden of Eden. Satan used a false question to get Eve’s mind going in a direction in which Satan hoped to control her beliefs and behavior.
Now the serpent was more cunning than any animal of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God really said, ‘You shall not eat from any tree of the garden’?” The woman said to the serpent, “From the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat; but from the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat from it or touch it, or you will die.’” The serpent said to the woman, “You certainly will not die! For God knows that on the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will become like God, knowing good and evil.” When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took some of its fruit and ate; and she also gave some to her husband with her, and he ate. Genesis 3:1-6 (NASB 2020)
You can see how Satan twisted the statement God actually made to Eve, and you can see how Satan then lied about the outcome. The Bible is full of examples throughout the Old and New Testaments of these kinds of manipulative questions, lies, and misdirection. Satan even tried these methods with Jesus when he tempted Jesus three times.1Matthew Chapter 4 All of this could easily be a study that would fill an entire book, and that would be a great study, but not today. I encourage you to dig deep into the scriptures on the subject of deception and the methods that Satan and evil people use to turn you away from God and keep you from being salt and light in the world.
Once you learn to recognize deception, false presuppositions, and efforts to manipulate you, you’ll begin to see them every day. They’re everywhere. I’ll share one that just showed up in a text message to me from a friend while I am writing this article. President Biden’s Covid Czar, Dr. Ashish Jha, said in a recent video, “God Gave you Two Arms” to get your Covid and flu shot.2Source: Gateway Pundit, Biden Covid Czar, https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/11/biden-covid-czar-god-gave-two-arms-get-covid-flu-shot-video/
Can you see the problem with his statement? This is the kind of statement that assumes facts that are not true, evidence not proven, applies pseudoscience, and then makes a broad assumption about why God created your arms in order to take the experimental vaccines. This whole approach has the goal of controlling your behavior, like hypnosis. If I could respond to him, I would say, “God also gave Adam and Eve arms to pick fruit from a certain tree, and look how that turned out Dr. Jha!”
In this article, I hope to alert your mind to how it is that so many could be so massively fooled and deceived in the world we live in, including good people like you and your friends. With the biblical foundation of deceptive techniques as our background, let’s jump to modern methods that have built technologies upon the tried and true genius of Satan.
First, there must be a system of propaganda in place that is so powerful and so persuasive that a large percentage of citizens can be caught up in the 24/7 brainwashing without even realizing they have been manipulated.3Brainwashing (also known as mind control, menticide, coercive persuasion, thought control, thought reform, and forced re-education) is the concept that the human mind can be altered or controlled by certain psychological techniques. Brainwashing is said to reduce its subjects’ ability to think critically or independently, to allow the introduction of new, unwanted thoughts and ideas into their minds, as well as to change their attitudes, values and beliefs. Source: Wikipedia. Initially, it does not take a large percentage of citizens to move the entire culture. A group as small as 5% of the population consisting of devoted and passionate advocates can easily persuade a majority of the population into thinking everyone agrees, and move the majority in any direction they want. It has been said that it took less than 3% of the German population to tilt the entire country to rabid Nazism in less than a decade. 97% went along with the agenda rather than stand up in opposition. By the time German citizens wanted to stand against evil, it was too late.4This law of persuading the masses with a small percentage is used even today in the U.S. in elections to make the majority think the minority is winning. It works because weak minded people will vote for the side they think is winning. We can see the pattern of Nazism repeat itself.
Second, that system must have almost unlimited resources in terms of money, assets, and willing participants in order to create massive systems that reach nearly all people in every facet of life. A tyrannical government always acquires these resources by theft, fraud, and taxation, and certainly by force or threat of criminal prosecution. The human resources are easy for them to acquire since all they have to do to persuade key players to join them is to offer them money, power, and sex. What’s new, right?
Third, the willing participants (who are puppets or sycophants, although they may have prestigious positions in government or the corporate world) must include networked people in positions of power who can further their cause and help them to partnership with like-minded people around the country and around the world. They scratch each others’ backs, but more importantly, they become powerful allies against the citizens, and the good citizens never know who these people are or what their real agendas are. Citizens are very much like sheep in this scenario.
Fourth, the key leadership must include major segments of the Federal Government, major corporations who control communications and technologies, the mainstream media, the major religions and major churches, the military, the education system, the healthcare system, and the banking and financial systems.
Before we go on to the fifth key, let’s pause to summarize what we have so far.
This is the system you and I grew up in. Are you going to tell me you have never been deceived, and that you cannot now be deceived? We live in deception. This is all we’ve known, apart from the precious and reliable truths we glean from the Bible along with the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Please do not presume you have not or could not be deceived by this massive system of propaganda. It’s the biggest propaganda system in the history of mankind. How could normal human beings like you and me not be affected? Those who are adamant about not being deceived are the most likely to be deceived. Intelligence and degrees are not effective defenses against brainwashing. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to recognize that the most prestigious Universities around the world have all been corrupted, and graduates come out with impressive sounding degrees but with little independent thought of their own.
Let’s now move to the next step.
Fifth, the next critical component of massive brainwashing (call it propaganda if you like) is a plan to bring people to the same mental question on each key event that is planned to happen in the future over and over again. Such planned events are often called “false flag” events, but they don’t have to be specifically planned events. Chaos itself can lead to the same happy conclusion for these evil people–death and violence.
The key here is that a major traumatic event must evoke the same question or same issue for a large number of citizens every time, and that emotional trigger must be so deeply embedded in a person’s mind that they will automatically respond the same every time, along with a large number of other citizens who also respond exactly the same every time.
This is nothing more than manipulating the neurological network that God created in all of us as human beings. Here is a description of how powerful this system is in each of us:
Your nervous system guides almost everything you do, think, say or feel. It controls complicated processes like movement, thought and memory. It also plays an essential role in the things your body does without thinking, such as breathing, blushing and blinking.
Your nervous system affects every aspect of your health, including your:
-
- Thoughts, memory, learning, and feelings.
- Movements, such as balance and coordination.
- Senses, including how your brain interprets what you see, hear, taste, touch and feel.
- Sleep, healing and aging.
- Heartbeat and breathing patterns.
- Response to stressful situations.
- Digestion, as well as how hungry and thirsty you feel.
- Body processes, such as puberty.
This complex system is the command center for your body. It regulates your body’s systems and allows you to experience your environment.
A vast network of nerves sends electrical signals to and from other cells, glands, and muscles all over your body. These nerves receive information from the world around you. Then the nerves interpret the information and control your response. It’s almost like an enormous information highway running throughout your body.6Source: The Cleveland Clinic
The nervous system is an extraordinarily complex system God created in each of us, and it consists of a massive storehouse of memories and beliefs, and the program that runs our behaviors.
What most people have never thought about is how important the early development of the nervous system is in babies. In the earliest stages of a baby’s life, any adverse affects on that development can cause irreparable lifelong damage to how the mind creates associations and what the emotions do with those associations. In other words, if you wanted to damage generations of babies’ minds so that they would have trouble with normal neurological processes, the normal development of beliefs, and normal responses, you would plan to attack that early development phase. There is now ample evidence as presented by many doctors that the Covid-19 vaccinations have done precisely such damage.
Mental associations are the driving force of responses, and responses are dependent on the belief a person has about what that associated event means to them. If you’ve burned your finger on a hot stove, your association with a stove is instant pain. This same kind of associative technique can be used to hypnotize an individual or . . . control an entire population.
Think all this is impossible? Hardly. Let me give you one example. Evil people and their massive network set up hundreds of scenarios in which average Americans have been brainwashed to respond in a certain way every single time.
Have you noticed that there have been many public shootings in which the patterned behavior of the shooter is astonishingly similar? Don’t go sideways on me with this example. I’m not suggesting people have not been shot by insane men, that school children have not been shot by young evil crazies, and that innocent victims are not shot every day in cities across America. All of those horrible deeds are happening, and evil people are directly responsible. This is not the place to analyze what happened in hundreds of shootings over the past several decades across America. There’s another focus here, and a point I do not want you to miss.
Let’s focus for a minute, not on the shooter or even the victims of the shooter, but let’s focus on the responses of citizens across America to the shooting. After each horrendous shooting, large numbers of American citizens all have the exact same response. The response is triggered by the perfunctory question, “What can we do to make sure this never happens again,” or “How can we stop these shootings,” but these questions are simply the triggers to get to the real programmed response. The programmed response is always the same:
“Guns should be outlawed,” or “Assault weapons should be banned,” or words to that effect.
I’m not interested in discussing the relative merits of any of these arguments about gun control. My point here is that millions of Americans have been brainwashed so that they are emotionally triggered with the same response. Every time.
Of course, citizens are not emotionally triggered until they are pushed hard by aggressive media outlets that all issue the same narrative triggers for the citizens. The media hit their narratives hard night and day until they have the citizenry all shouting as if in unison the same angry statement, like “Guns should be outlawed!”
When you recognize this and see it in action repeatedly over many years, it’s all so surreal and predictable. It feels like watching a Vegas hypnotist’s show, but for us we know in advance what will trigger everyone, what the phrases are, and we know in advance how they will respond. Every time. Every single time. This is how mind control works.
Need I remind you of the grand effort it took over decades to pull all this off? It took tremendous planning and perseverance in six media companies, throughout corporate America, the grooming of thousands of politicians, the infiltration of our Federal and state agencies, all well funded by our tax dollars, to get everyone’s mind marching to the same sheet of music. It took untold amounts of advertising, decades of sponsored ads, billions in Federal grants, and billions spent by non-profits. It took University professors three generations of sharing the mantra to future politicians and citizens, and you surely will recall the years of Hollywood actors and actresses echoing the same message in response to every shooting, “Guns should be outlawed,” or “Assault weapons should be banned.”
It’s the same mantra every single time we have a shooting, and if it wasn’t so consistent, so prevalent all over America, and repeated so precisely the same by so many people like a well coordinated chorus in the media, on social media, and all over the news, you wouldn’t notice that it is a planned response. It is a programmed response.
Have you been programmed to say the exact same words? It’s okay if you really feel that way about guns, but my question is “How do you know for sure you haven’t been brainwashed on this issue, like hundreds of other issues in which you respond exactly the same as millions of other Americans?” Have we all turned into robots, doing the will of the elite rulers at their beck and call?
Are you an independent individual who trusts God and the Bible and lives by seeking to know what is true and what is not true? Do you research important events or issues for yourself, or do you feel more comfortable just stepping in line and following the crowd where no one will challenge you or call you names? If someone says to you, “Follow the science,” will you do anything they tell you to do? Isn’t it obvious that the vast majority of Americans are followers and quite gullible.
Do you think brainwashing is not real? Cathy O’Brien is famous as a whistleblower. She was raised as an MK-Ultra child and given a split personality under a CIA government program. She escaped with the help of an extraordinary man, and today, despite repeated attempts by the CIA to take her life, she still lives to tell the truth and expose the nightmare that our Federal Government brainwashing program was and maybe still is. Here she is from her book:
Absolute mind control was the only existence Kelly [her daughter] and I knew prior to Mark Phillips rescuing us directly from the CIA/DIA’s MK Ultra Project Monarch in 1988. O’Brien, Cathy. ACCESS DENIED For Reasons Of National Security: Documented Journey From CIA Mind Control Slave To U.S. Government Whistleblower. REALITY MARKETING. Kindle Edition.
Cathy’s bravery in telling her story and blowing the whistle on this evil government program is impressive. If you don’t understand how powerful this program was, I recommend you read the book, but don’t read it if you have a weak stomach.
The memories I wrote out in photographic detail turned out to be just a small piece of the elaborate puzzle that revealed some of the missing years of my life. It would be years before I learned how that local child pornography ring came to be sanctioned by politicians involved in MK Ultra mind control. Project Paperclip had imported Nazi and Fascist scientists into the US, gleaning Hitler/Himler research on multigenerational incest based families. It was learned that incest resulted in dissociative disorders ideal for robotic mind control. Such candidates could be used in espionage, the military, or anywhere government officials wanted secrecy and control. Brainwashing was being refined, and certain politicians such as the one who came to our house with the Bonnie and the Boxer film under his arm, were sanctioning child pornography rings in order to target children like myself for government mind control projects. Ibid Chapter 3.
And:
Information on dissociative disorders, trauma, and mind control had been deliberately suppressed from the American psychiatric and psychological associations for so-called “reasons of national security.” The founder of the APA, Dr. Ewen Cameron, had been caught using CIA mind control methods at the Allen Memorial Institute in Montreal, Canada. The CIA was forced to compensate the victims, yet it took years. In the meantime, educational institutions for mental health professionals lacked the facts necessary for treating the vast number of victims/survivors who were filling their offices in search of help and understanding. . . . After being sold into MK Ultra mind control by my father, he was immediately flown to Boston, Massachusetts where he said he was given instructions at the nearby Scientific Engineering Institute on how to raise me in the Project. Perhaps it was my Uncle Bob’s Jesuit affiliation, or perhaps it was due to the CIA combining Nazi mind sciences with what the Catholics learned through the Spanish Inquisition and Crusades regarding the effects of trauma on the human mind, that sent my father to Boston. Regardless, when he returned, my MK Ultra mind control victimization commenced, beginning with mind shattering occult rituals in my hometown St. Francis deSales Catholic church. Ibid Chapter 4.
Since Cathy’s book, many other whistleblowers have come out, and established the CIA’s MK Ultra program as documented and real, not conspiratorial.
MK Ultra victims were raised from as early as possible, even from the crib. The personality would be split into two personalities with excruciating torture, both physical and sexual. Even in the crib, a mouse trap would be placed on a baby’s fingers, and the baby would be allowed to scream until finally the mind separates the pain, and the baby stops crying. The mind begins to split into a conscious mind and another below-the-surface mind that the handlers would hypnotize and manipulate.
Typically children were horribly abused, and there was sexual abuse that is so shocking, I have not included the rest of the story here. Remember, in case you have forgotten, this was your own CIA, the Central Intelligence Agency, of your U.S. Federal Government. What? You think they are all pure and righteous now at the CIA? Think again. Americans have been far too gullible, far too trusting. In her book, Cathy names names of famous politicians you know, but I won’t repeat their names here.
The MK Ultra program allowed the CIA to create assassins and spies who operated within their second personality, so that their first personality would not even know what they had done. The triggering mechanism was right out of the hypnotist’s playbook. They would typically program their victim with a phrase that could be said in person or on a phone or through a tape recorder. The phrase would sometimes be a Disney phrase from a children’s movie. Once triggered, the victim would complete their mission and return home, only to wake up the next day with no memory of the horrendous crimes they had committed. Does this remind you of the Bourne movies? You didn’t know they were based on the MK Ultra program?
If you wonder why so many look at the shootings that occur today all over America, and suspect some of them are CIA false flags, it’s because they are like skits right out of the MK Ultra playbook, even to the specifics of the patsy’s background with crime, drugs, and dysfunctional parents, and the CIA handlers equip their patsies with the same little backpack with duct tape, a knife, zip ties, and extra ammunition for their gun. It’s the ultimate example of entrapment, only here the victims don’t have a memory of their training and they only have partial memories of their involvement in the crime.
But do not miss the bigger point of these evil exercises. There is always a purpose beyond the specific mission of the patsy, and it is always a bigger political and religious goal. Let’s make it obvious. After a public shooting where people are killed and wounded, who do they blame? They blame conservatives, Republicans, christians, and white men. Every single time we have to endure a whole new round of racism, anti-gay, anti-transgender, and anti-compassionate accusations from main stream media, liberal politicians from the President to Senators to Congressmen to Governors, social media, and, of course, big tech plays their part by censoring and shadow-banning to control the narrative.
This propaganda template is used again and again to broadcast the same manipulative lies 24/7 often for weeks or months on end, drilling their messaging into people’s minds so much and so often and so thoroughly, that it is no wonder so many Americans actually believe the unbelievable.
This is the whole point of creating chaos, riots, or specific false flag events–to promote the real agenda, which always involves using propaganda and lies to continue the brainwashing and mind control of the citizens.
Another part of the MK Ultra playbook is that the patsy is never allowed to testify. The pasty in a real false flag set up always dies on the scene, or in an accident before trial, or they suddenly die of a “heart attack,” or they commit suicide in prison when several video cameras mysteriously break down, the victim’s roommate happens to be out of the locked cell, and the two guards assigned to the area somehow were not there despite strict prison regulations that required them to have 100% coverage. Remember Jeffrey Epstein?
You have to marvel at how many Americans never seem to connect the dots even after decades of the same patterns over and over again! Jesus did warn us three times in Matthew 24 about deception, yet too many ignore his warning and think they cannot be fooled.
The MK Ultra program taught us what was possible in brainwashing and controlling individuals, but who can doubt the program could have been taken to entirely new levels with advanced technologies? It already has been. If you’re familiar with the scandals involving Google, Facebook, and many other companies, then you’ll recall how our private information was being captured without our knowledge and without our overt permission, how some devices were recording audio and even video in our homes without our knowledge, and how our personal information was being sold over and over again around the world. A new phrase was coined to explain what was happening, “If a service is free, you are the product.”
But it gets far worse than the theft of personal information. In 2018 Cambridge Analytica was caught using detailed customer profiles collected from Facebook to feed those customers propaganda to control their voting decisions in more than one country, and they did this with advanced forms of brainwashing using technologies that were so far below the radar, people never knew they were being manipulated. [Source: See the Netflix documentary on Youtube as of this writing called The Great Hack.]
Chamath Palihapitiya, who joined Facebook in 2007 and became its vice president for user growth, said he feels “tremendous guilt” about the company he helped make. “I think we have created tools that are ripping apart the social fabric of how society works,” he told an audience at Stanford Graduate School of Business, before recommending people take a “hard break” from social media.7Source: The Verge
With unlimited budgets and the U.S. Federal government shielding them, and global elite billionaires shipping them money by the pallet load in the dead of night, and the biggest tech companies in the history of the world with databases of the personal information of nearly every human on earth, how hard would it be to get the majority of Americans to believe something? Anything?
I referenced the mind control switch that gets triggered when there is a public shooting, and the reason I mentioned that one is because it is arguably the most common and the most effectively embedded mind control trigger in America today. There are many of these embedded triggers, and I’ll only mention one more that is also anchored deeply in the vast majority of American citizens’ minds. What is that trigger? You’ll recognize it as soon as I mention it.
It is, of course, the phrase “flat earth.” Need I even describe how this phrase sets people off, and how they are triggered to parrot almost the exact same sentiments? The phrase triggers people so they get emotionally upset or angry literally in a second, which ought to be a big tell to anyone who can be so easily triggered emotionally so quickly. This is a classic hypnotic pattern in mind control techniques.
If you’ve ever seen a Vegas hypnotic act, you know how the hypnotist can program a person, or a whole group of people, to be triggered in a second with the mention of one word or phrase, or the snap of his fingers. If a hypnotist can do this to total strangers in front of a large audience in public, imagine what could be done over a period of years with a calculated and well funded program on a mass scale!
What are the programmed responses when someone uses the magic phrase “flat earth”? You know them. You’ve heard them many times, and you may have used some of these phrases yourself without even thinking first, because that’s how mass mind control works. People instantly bark out a phrase they have been carefully programmed to use. “Oh, you’re one of those conspiracy theorists,”8Practical wisdom in response to being called a conspiracy theorist in this short video. or “Don’t tell me you’re one of those flat earthers,” which is always said with disdain in their voice, or “I suppose you don’t believe we went to the moon either?”
Not only is the verbal response nearly identical in programmed citizens, the attitude reflected in the tone of their voice is also part of the programming. And it doesn’t end there. The programming also includes physical gestures and a cocking of the head and a lifting of the eyebrows, all intended to shame the “flat earther.” This may be the most effective mass mind control in the history of mankind.
The most effective mass mind control not only triggers instantaneous programmed responses, but the people who have been effectively brainwashed are the last to know. They truly do not know they have been programmed to behave accordingly. Those who are programmed so effectively as though they are hard-wired, are the very people who think they are 100% independent thinkers who are in control of their own lives. If you suggest they are deceived, they will get angry, more proof that they are, in fact, programmed.
Notice that the programmed response is not only negative, it is intended to be demeaning and make a person feel like garbage. The response was carefully designed to humiliate someone instantly, to attack their character and make them feel like an idiot. This approach helps to keep people in line so they don’t wander off the reservation.
Hopefully, it is obvious that the globers’ programmed responses are absolutely not Christ-like. Christians have no business behaving with such vicious programmed responses. We are called to love one another, to be gentle, full of grace and mercy, and to respect another person’s beliefs. If they are yet immature in matters where the Bible offers counsel, we are called to be kind and offer guidance and exhortation. In matters where we may have much to learn ourselves, we are called to be humble and to be teachable. We are to sharpen each other in truth, not ridicule each other because of a different belief. This ought to be another sign that the attacks against flat earthers are not of God. [John 13:34, Hebrews 3:13, 1 Thessalonians 5:11, 2 Timothy 2:15, Hebrews 4:12, Proverbs 27:17, Romans 14:13, Philippians 2:3, Verses re Teachable Spirit.]
Not only has this mass mind control process been working quite effectively for decades with NASA at the lead when it comes to the heliocentric view of a Godless Universe, the genius of the psychology does not require any true scientific proof. In fact, those who are programmed to immediately attack you for even thinking you might give flat earth consideration, have been trained to ignore true science and simply repeat what they have been programmed to say.
The perpetrators don’t have any true scientific proof of the secular heliocentric model, so they use a combination of pseudoscience and philosophy and theology, which adds up to scientism. [Download our free book entitled Scientism in the Pulpits, The Assault Pastors Never Saw Coming.]
How hard would it be if you controlled all media and had a multi-billion dollar budget at NASA to create entire programs to fool people. How hard would it be to create a model of the Universe and of the earth and the sun and the moon and the stars that is parallel to the Genesis story of creation? If you had billions or even trillions to persuade people that the Universe is 14.5 billion years old, that the earth spins at 1,000 mph at the equator and revolves around the sun at 66,600 mph, how would you do it?
Remember what makes you human and how uniquely wonderful and complex God made you. You’re supposed to think for yourself and not be controlled in a mass population experiment. If you don’t recognize patterns that consistently cause you to be triggered to respond in the same way every time, then you are nothing more than a robot that has been programmed to respond that way. You would be like a person controlled by AI (artificial intelligence). You wouldn’t belong to yourself. Perhaps this is what it really means to “sell your own soul.”
The sixth key is to program all of these citizens to not only have the same controlled response upholding the narrative they’ve been taught (like a good hypnotized subject), but to turn on any and all citizens who disagree with them. This is precisely what German citizens did for the NAZI regime. They turned in their friends and family to the NAZIs. And when they turned their friends and family in, the punishment was torture or death. This tells us how powerful this kind of mass brainwashing can be.
Mass formation psychosis is very real. Fundamental to creating a national mass psychosis that can control and manipulate the citizens is mass fear, lots of fear in everyone. So important is it that you understand modern mass hypnosis, I am including this short video segment of Dr. Robert Malone who describes precisely how this mass hypnosis works today in America.
If you listen to the Youtube globers who attack flat earthers, you’ll notice they are all repeating the same narrative! They are like robots repeating the same dribble, the same pseudoscience, and the same lies. They do not step away and do their own true “scientific” research. They cannot, because they are part of the mass of brainwashed citizens.
The Bible describes what happens to such evil people:
HE HAS BLINDED THEIR EYES AND HE HARDENED THEIR HEART, SO THAT THEY WILL NOT SEE WITH THEIR EYES AND UNDERSTAND WITH THEIR HEART, AND BE CONVERTED, AND SO I WILL NOT HEAL THEM. John 12:40 (NASB 2020)
As soon as you think you cannot be deceived, look in the mirror, because you are deceived.
