Personally, I am beginning to distrust Government on almost everything. The following is a slip of the tongue but there is probably a LOT of truth in it as well.
Australia
I don’t know about you but I have come to reconsider almost everything the state and federal governments tell me. Here in Australia during the China virus almost all one heard from local and federal governments was “We are following the science”. There are many problems with that statement but one is that they were all doing something different so therefore the science they were following was not the same. Anyway, the following article deals with this fact that governments do LIE to us! Dr. Guliuzza write that ‘Perhaps my parents were naïve. They raised me to respect my teachers, the government, and other authorities, and to believe these entities acted in my best interests and certainly wouldn’t lie to me. I was warned about the duplicity of politicians and used-car salesmen, but they were mostly grouped in classes by themselves.
Now I know I was misled by these authorities on some very important things. For instance, in biology class I was taught as scientific fact a totally fanciful—and atheistically religious—story that “survival of the fittest” caused the evolution of life on Earth. Disseminating that lie was an abuse of youthful trust in authority.
The lying has gotten far worse. Back then, I never felt institutional coercion to join a perverse government-led movement that affirms as truth many things I and most other people can clearly see are false. For example, until recently it was basic common sense to recognize that male and female are the two biological sexes. Today, anyone daring to speak common sense is publicly pummeled with disparaging names (or worse) by members of a rapidly growing deviant movement. They use a hostile crowd to systematically isolate people from each other by making everyone afraid to be associated with the pummeled person lest it also happen to them—a method to strong-arm conformity in thinking and control the behavior of an entire group.
As many Christians ponder whether to acknowledge more than the two sexes Christ created, they need to consider more than the “science” that floods schools and the media. The real issue is whether Christians, pastors, and seminary presidents will reject clear biblical teaching just to avoid the nasty social outrage against their ministries or themselves if they dare speak a truth the world finds offensive—that male and female are the only two human sexes.
Christians have faced the decision of whether to cast aside clear biblical teaching and embrace the world’s so-called science for a far longer period when it comes to Darwinian selection and evolution. Lies spread by government-sponsored institutions can be so absurd that they require years of forced, repetitive indoctrination for people to believe them. One government lie sits atop them all: that over a time frame far too slow for anyone to observe—and without the mind and power of God—life spontaneously started and nature exercised a type of selective agency to mold that “proto-life” into the diversity of creatures on Earth. We may not know how many people silently question this lie because dissenting views are quashed through government-tolerated academic oppression.
For illustration we’ll consider the above-mentioned lie that humans can be classified into a sex other than male and female. Perhaps it will serve as a contemporary wake-up call for Christians to refuse to live by the world’s lies.
Biological Sex and the Institutional Lie
In George Orwell’s classic novel 1984, the Ministry of Truth produced lying propaganda and the Ministry of Love dispensed torture. In Orwell’s farsighted story, reality was totally inverted through the government’s highly coordinated actions to manipulate its citizens’ thinking. What’s remarkable in the book is that almost all citizens eventually became willing promoters of government lies themselves.
An NBC News report demonstrates the combined power of government, academia, and the media to bring about a 1984-like adoption of total nonsense. In this case, even highly educated leaders of independent corporations participate. NBC stated that “[the brand] Always announced it will remove the Venus symbol from its menstruation products packaging” in response to protests by “transgender and nonbinary people” who were born female but now believe they’re male.1
Procter & Gamble, Always’ parent company, has come to regret placing the female symbol on their packages. In response to the outrage of these “men,” Always now recognizes that the packages were offensive “by not acknowledging that they [men], too, can experience menstruation,” and they dismiss the criticisms of people upset over the symbol’s removal as being “rooted in the misconception that [male] transgender and nonbinary people cannot experience menstruation—a claim medical experts have debunked.”1
How do you get people to assent to completely bizarre flights of fancy? By repeating them incessantly. Several months after their story on Always, NBC added a personal account and reported, “When transgender model and activist Kenny Ethan Jones experienced his first period, he faced both physical and psychological pain.”2 Kenny Jones was born female but is now considered by many (including “medical experts”) to be male. Perhaps to make it easier for readers to jettison their common sense, NBC adds Jones’ personal testimony:
“Having a period already causes me a lot of [gender] dysphoria, but this dysphoria becomes heightened when I have to shop for a product that is labeled as ‘women’s health’ and in most cases, is pretty and pink,” Jones explained.2
How powerful are the combined forces of government, academia, and the media targeted against individual citizens? Pretty powerful, it seems. After presenting stories like that of Kenny Jones, it’s as if those in power sit back and watch to see if ordinary people will compliantly speak about “his first period” without a tinge of humiliation over the mental confusion or muddled judgment needed to state something so nonsensical. A power that conditions a mass of people to embrace such ridiculous notions should grab the attention of Christians.
We are witnessing authorities use the stamp of scientific authority as a propaganda tool to dishonestly assert that something everyone knows is true—that men cannot have monthly cycles—has been debunked. Most people likely resent being coerced into accepting something that has never been observed and is utterly foolish.
What many Americans don’t recognize is that the train long ago left the station and took our country along the line to nonsensical beliefs. That happened when they swallowed the lie that over a long period of time one kind of creature can morph into another—something else that has never been observed. What’s worse is that these lies about both evolving creatures and interchangeable sexes are not just ludicrous, they’re intellectually and morally perverse.
Government Perverting Its God-Ordained Role
God denounces the government-sanctioned corruption of truth: “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” (Isaiah 5:20). Moral perversion goes hand in hand with governments acting in perverted ways.
Two passages in the New Testament detail the God-ordained role of government. Those in authority today should rule by these mandates: “For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil….For he is God’s minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God’s minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil” (Romans 13:3-4); and government leaders “are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of those who do good” (1 Peter 2:14).
The Bible’s teaching is plain. Government is responsible to promote good and punish evil, but today’s rulers often oppress—if not outright persecute—people doing good and exult in the evil behavior they promote, which they mischaracterize as good. The destruction of the moral fiber of its citizens through lying and coercive tactics is a perversion of government’s mandate and authority.
Lessons Learned from the Soviet Union
Alexander Solzhenitsyn, 1974Image credit: Bert Verhoeff
Citizens of the United States now face increased institutional deception. People in other lands have endured habitual governmental lying, and their experiences may prove useful to Christians who refuse to live by the world’s lies.
Last year someone forwarded the link to a very helpful essay titled “Live Not by Lies” written in 1974 by the late Soviet dissident Alexander Solzhenitsyn. Solzhenitsyn’s essay isn’t long, and I’d recommend that everyone read it since the actions he encourages other Soviets to adopt are valuable for Americans today. He sets the stage of the sad state of isolation and fear oppressing the Soviet people.
There was a time when we dared not rustle a whisper….[We] heartily complain to each other of all they [the government] are muddling up, of all they are dragging us into!…They put whomever they want on trial, and brand the healthy as mentally ill….Already a universal spiritual demise is upon us…while we continue to smile sheepishly….We have so hopelessly ceded our humanity that for the modest handouts of today we are ready to surrender up all principles, our soul, all the labors of our ancestors, all the prospects of our descendants—anything to avoid disrupting our meager existence…..[We] fear only to take a civic stance! We hope only not to stray from the herd, not to set out on our own.3
Solzhenitsyn then explains why government-sanctioned violence alone can never enslave an entire population. Real enslaving power is wielded through institutional lying.
But it [breaking the oppressive cycle] will never come…if we all, every day, continue to acknowledge, glorify, and strengthen it, if we do not, at the least, recoil from its most vulnerable point. From lies….Violence ages swiftly….To prop itself up, to appear decent, it will without fail call forth its ally—Lies. For violence has nothing to cover itself with but lies, and lies can only persist through violence. And it is not every day and not on every shoulder that violence brings down its heavy hand: It demands of us only a submission to lies, a daily participation in deceit—and this suffices as our fealty.3
Thus, the road to freedom is to refuse to live by lies. “And therein we find, neglected by us, the simplest, the most accessible key to our liberation: a personal nonparticipation in lies!…For when people renounce lies, lies simply cease to exist. Like parasites, they can only survive when attached to a person.” The first of eight vital behaviors Solzhenitsyn says are necessary to shake off enslavement begins with each citizen declaring they “will not write, sign, nor publish in any way, a single line distorting, so far as he can see, the truth.”3
Creationists have historically demonstrated the courage to resist institutional lying. Maybe that’s why the world uses the name “creationist” as a title of derision. Nevertheless, we must remember “let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall” (1 Corinthians 10:12). If we don’t want to unknowingly advance any of the world’s lies, shouldn’t we examine ourselves to see whether our own minds have been “evolutionized” to some degree?
Recognizing How Lies Are Built into Terminology
Evolutionists invent terms all the time that simultaneously express evolutionary concepts and are used as more evidence for evolution. For instance, the literature is full of terms like convergent evolution, vestigial organs, pseudogenes, and highly conserved sequences. These terms have a built-in presupposition of evolution that makes them inherently misleading. Thus, just by speaking the jargon, a person is assisting the deceitful evolutionary indoctrination of society. The same type of built-in lying occurs when we talk about people as being transgender—as if that’s a real state of being—just because the world imagines more than two human sexes.
Evolutionary theory is full of imaginary, misleading scenarios. The most egregious is when nature is personified, presented as exercising agency, and then invoked as a substitute god to explain the origin and diversity of life. Selectionists project onto the environment abilities to “select,” “favor,” “act,” “send information,” and similar verbs indicating the work of an intelligent agent. The terminology they use therefore embeds a potent lie—that nature has some type of innate volition. The constant personification of nature as exercising creative agency transfers credit from the Lord Jesus as Creator to the creation itself…the principal lie described in Romans 1:25.
The denial of two biological sexes as illustrated by the Kenny Jones nonsense shows how serious the scope of these institutional lies and the coercion to conform is. The challenge facing Christians is whether we will cast aside clear biblical teaching and embrace the world’s so-called science. We belong to the Lord Jesus, who promised, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:31-32). Christians need to be a sanctuary of truth; we must refuse to live by the world’s lies.

In Victoria, Australia ‘…the Herald Sun uncovered a disturbing story that year eleven boys were outed by a Kingston City Council youth worker to stand up (during a school assembly) before being outed, bullied & made to apologize for being ‘white’, ‘male’ and ‘Christian’, it was utterly disturbing news but sadly, this isn’t the first time that something like this happened in Australia.
But this is critical race theory in action, the extremist demonic creature birthed into society by Cultural Marxists putting the oppressor and the oppressed with white and black people, thus racially pitting them against each other at the expense of destroying social harmony, the social fabric & threatening to unwind years of sound racial discourse.
By perpetuating the myths that western countries like Australia is “systematically/institutionally racist” and that individuals with black or brown skin wouldn’t face the same full advantage as their white counterparts do due to systematically or institutionally racist structural blocks preventing them from doing so, cultural Marxists can wield this poisonous and toxic theory to hold up their mass-murdering oppressor/oppressed narrative which (in the past) has left few nations unscathed.
And it was this grotesque abomination of a theory was what Kingston City Council youth worker Kate Hamilton bombarded year eleven’s at Parkdale Secondary College with, bullying and making the year eleven male students feel guilty and ashamed about being white, male and Christian as in the eyes of critical race theory hustlers, anybody whose all three are immediately the oppressors of individuals with black or brown skin.
For the students that were unfortunate to have sat through that insufferable presentation, not only did they feel shocked (and for the male students-feeling abused and targeted) but also fearful of being called out as either a homophobe or a bigot (despite their discomfort over what they were being fed).
Rightfully though, parents are outraged over what their children’s had to sit through and endure and have called for the youth worker to resign following the incident. Both the school’s Principle, Kingston City Council’s CEO and Mayor have also condemned the presentation but have distanced themselves from it whilst also feigning ignorance over what the students had to sit through.
That isn’t good enough though.
Not only do the youth worker (responsible for the bullying of innocent year eleven males) needs to resign (or be sacked from her job), but that Kingston City Council’s diversity and inclusion program needs to be comprehensively reviewed and scrapped if there are evidence of critical race theory materials being in it.
But we need to go further.
What we need is a nationwide movement that’s against critical race theory/neo-racism and willing to lobby our governments, inform our democratically elected politicians and battle to get it banned from our schools and in all layers of government.
After all, it’s not enough to simply call it out and be against it if nothing is done to legislatively and comprehensively stamp this out from our society.
Because it isn’t about tackling discrimination, systematic/institutional/structural racism or even being virtuous or equality, it’s a grotesque and abominable form of racism that’s being greenlighted by not only Cultural Marxists but by woke-captured city councils & institutions (who fell victim to the left’s long march decades ago).
Because if we don’t, not only will more of our students be repetitively exposed to this racist form of social engineering, but that it won’t take long for the poison to continue to pollute our government departments and agencies but also other areas of society as well.
And if you think that this is only happening towards senior high school students, then you’re sorely mistaken. Because in NSW, official Department of Education lessons have hit New South Wales students from Kindergarten up to year twelve under a “Racism. No Way!” initiative in which they’re being indoctrinated about institutional racism, white privilege & unconscious bias.
So instead of focusing on academic excellence and wrestling back our embarrassing educational rankings in science, mathematics, English and reading, governmental education departments would rather focus on polluting into our classrooms and curriculum, critical race theory and other Cultural Marxist propaganda.
It’s a sign that Australian educational bureaucrats have given up going back to basics, decluttering the curriculum and ensuing that our teachers-to-be are highly qualified, appropriate and competent to teach school students, they find it easier to allow Cultural Marxists corrupt our educational system instead.
And what’s worse is that the Education Ministers of Australia are either foolishly ignorant of all of this woke madness (that is going on) or are too gutless to do stop it entirely (or perhaps both).
And just because Victoria is under the control of the most wokest state government in the country (and thus should be forgiven for allowing this to occur), the Liberal/National oppositional parties should be up in arms over this Marxist lunacy and relentlessly pursue the Daniel Andrews Government to end it once and for all in Victorian schools.
Whereas in NSW, where it’s under the governance of Liberal Premier Gladys Berejiklian, should have no excuse in stamping this from NSW schools. The state’s Education Minister, Sarah Mitchell must get on top of this and immediately axe this dangerous program from further turning NSW school students and kindergarteners into Australian & Western civilisation hating social justice warriors subscribed to a divisive and racist Marxist ideology.
In fact, I thoroughly support NSW One Nation leader and Upper House MP, Mark Latham who’s taking on this woke lunacy hoping to prevent a generation of Cultural Marxist foot soldiers from being indoctrinated, propagandised and trained by critical race theory fundamentalists whose aim is to bring down capitalism & the Western world.
If I was Premier Berejiklian or even Education Minister Sarah Mitchell, I would be joining Mark Latham in arms to put an end to all of this rubbish and drafting legislations to ban this in NSW’s educational system and curriculum.
Doing this would save generation of young impressionable children’s from being captured by the Marxists and held as their ideological slaves.
To not work to actively stamp this degenerate regressive insanity out of our schools, parents can expect to see more of their children’s subjected to this social justice brainwashing at their schools, funded at ratepayers expense.
Schools are meant to be safe environments for students to be educated by qualified teachers, not to be insultingly outed by some woke lunatic because of their skin colour, religious faith & gender for which they have no control over (in particular the colour of their skin and their gender upon birth).
It’s time for Australia to fight against this neo-racist monstrosity which gets more degenerate and regressive beyond outing innocent year eleven male, white and Christian students with examples in American schools of critical race theory fundamentalists forcing American students to chant to the Aztec Gods of Worship which is happening in California.
In an incredible scoop by anti-CRT campaigner, Christopher F. Rufo (from a story in City Journal), he revealed that not only do Californian children are soon gonna end up chanting to the Aztec Gods of Worship, but that under it’s “Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum” (from Marxism’s “pedagogy of the oppressed”), it’ll instruct impressionable young students to “challenge racist, bigoted, discriminatory, imperialist/colonial beliefs” as well as critiquing “white supremacy, racism and other forms of power and oppression”
And it’s original co-chair, R. Tolteka Cuauhtin has previously denounced the United States of America as a “Eurocentric, white supremacist, capitalist, patriarchal, heteropatriarchal and anthropocentric paradigm brought from Europe.”
Same original co-chair who once claimed that white Christians had committed ‘theocide” specifically against Indigenous tribes via methods of killing their gods & replacing them with Christianity instead.
And that the solution of the entire Marxist riddled regressive curriculum is to “name, speak to, resist and transform the hegemonic Eurocentric neocolonial condition” in a posture of “transformational resistance”. And that the ultimate end goal (and this is absolutely and abhorrently terrifying) is to engineer a “countergenocide” against the whites according to Cuauhtin.
This is an extreme yet hellish form of critical race theory, one that seeks to hideously and grotesquely condemn and bring down Western civilisation, white people & Christianity by orchestrating a resistance against them and to organise a “countergenocide” against white people, by tying them to the most lunatic accusation all based on racial lies.
So if Australia ignores the destructive threat of critical race theory, then it’s cultists will continue to dominate our schools, brainwash our students and thus corrupt our vulnerable yet failing educational system.’https://www.theunshackled.net/rundown/why-australia-needs-a-movement-against-critical-race-theory/
YouTube and the other so-called “social” media platforms are Marxist publishers allowing only what information they want dispersed! Well, thankfully there are others who know how to set up platforms that conservatives can use without being policed and silenced. The following video of an interview with President Trump was banned almost immediately on You Tube but it is here thankfully on Rumble.
My wife and I didn’t watch or listen to the Fake President’s speech to Congress and perhaps you didn’t either. So, in case you wish to know a little of what the Fake President had to say I am sharing Mark Levin’s take on it. Enjoy!

‘Facebook has permanently banned the official page of Australian MP Craig Kelly for sharing “misinformation about COVID-19.”
Formerly a member of Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s Liberal Party, Kelly became an independent after getting into a dispute with the prime minister and health experts over the content he had been posting on his Facebook page.
In February, Facebook temporarily suspended Kelly’s page after a series of posts touting the benefits of hydroxychloroquine as a method of treating COVID-19.
Now, the social media giant has taken further action and permanently removed the MP’s page.
A Facebook spokesperson told Australian state broadcaster ABC that the company doesn’t “allow anyone, including elected officials, to share misinformation about COVID-19 that could lead to imminent physical harm or COVID-19 vaccines that have been debunked by public health experts.”
“We have clear policies against this type of content and have removed Mr. Kelly’s Facebook Page for repeated violations of this policy,” the spokesperson said.
Responding to the ban, Kelly criticized the action as “censorship,” adding that his page was the “most popular, highly used” in the country.
The Hughes, New South Wales MP denied that he was spreading misinformation, but rather sharing a difference of opinion.
“The idea that they are some purveyors of all truth is just absolutely outrageous,” Kelly said.
After his suspension in February, Kelly created a backup page on the platform, which as of yet has not been removed. Kelly also maintains a page on Instagram, another platform controlled by Facebook, although the company treats those accounts as separate entities and no action has been taken against Kelly there.
Speaking to The Guardian Australia, Kelly said that Facebook has refused to explain what they label misinformation, and said that he stands “100 per cent by everything” he’s posted.
“It’s not my random thoughts, it’s backed up by scientific evidence.”
Kelly conceded that many of the doctors and academics he refers to have an opinion that diverges from the mainstream, but stressed that he wants to “live in a democracy where we can hear and debate those opinions.”
The independent MP is currently crafting a private member’s bill to present to the Australian Parliament that would require social media platforms to present written notice before deleting a user’s account, and that could feature fines of up to $100,000 a day for deplatforming individuals for political speech.
Relating his Facebook ban to his new bill, Kelly claimed that a foreign-owned company had restricted him from being able to promote his legislative efforts, describing it as “extinguishing” his ability to use his Facebook page to call for more regulation of the company.’https://www.rebelnews.com/facebook_bans_australian_mp_craig_kelly_for_covid_misinformation
Some folk see racism everywhere! Yep everywhere and in everything!
‘Think it couldn’t get any worse after a Kentucky college claimed that whiteness is terrorism? Well, as our former president (who should still be president) might say, WRONG! It just got worse. College students at UCLA are claiming that soap dispensers are racist.
Yes, you read that right. No, I’m not making that up. College-educated adults are, rather than learning and reading widely or spending their time on other honorable and virtuous pursuits, are instead attacking soap dispensers by claiming that those inanimate soap dispensers are racist.
The basis for this article comes from an op-ed on The College Fix, a great site that routinely exposes leftist lunacy. Here’s what the article claims:
“one UCLA student claimed during the debate, automatic soap dispensers “don’t see her hands” due to the dark pigment of her skin. As another student reiterated, soap dispensers are racist because they force “black and brown bodies” to show their palms — “the only light areas of the skin” — in order to get soap out.”
Ah, brilliant points. Because you have to apply soap to your palms to effectively clean them when rubbing soap on your hands, the machines that make that hygienic task far easier and cleaner than it used to be is, wait for it, racist!‘https://genzconservative.com/soap-dispensers-are-racist/
With a professing Christian Prime Minister here in Australia, this story is unbelievable.
Communist/Marxists have pretty much taken over the media, schools and now the Government with Biden/Harris leading the band. If something doesn’t change at the next election America is done! Personally, that change must begin in the heart. God and the Bible have been tossed on the scrap heap but the Creator sees all things just as He did in Genesis 6 before He sent the flood. The Creator sees the wickedness of man but He is longsuffering that all men should come to repentance. The real answer isn’t at the ballot box but at the altar of the heart.
