Destitution

 "By the time of this conversation, he had been coming down to the river area with others most nights for nearly two months. What was seen there, in the very heart of capital, hadn't stopped shocking him, even though he'd already witnessed depravation. The children distressed him most - how young they were, and how sick. Respiratory diseases, malnourishment, exposure - all of it a short drive from unimaginable wealth". The Never Ending Sacrifice by Una Mc Cormack.

"The weak you have not strengthened, the sick you have not healed, the injured you have not bound up, the strayed you have not brought back, the lost you have not sought, and with force and harshness you have ruled them". Ezekiel 34:4.

Two 'jolts' (so far) this week - 

The first was when I heard a Scientist speak of our present 'dancing on the edge of a cliff'. One example he provided - if the sun ejects a major coronal mass towards the earth in the next few years (which is highly possible - it's due), an enormous part of the world's electrical power grid could quickly collapse, not for a day, or weeks, or even months... but for years, and this is something that has been known about for quite some time, and is rectifiable if a reasonable amount of money is invested in redundancy systems, but this has not been done, so the consequences would be catastrophic, not only in respects to power, but to computer technology.

The second was a UK journalist noting the fact that due to the incremental growth in L-F (and a stepping away from PCR) testing this week, we have, in effect, re-introduced a 'lockdown by stealth' in the country. This comes at a moment when the very infrastructure of many regions is already hanging by a thread because of the amount of workers having to report sick due to positive testing for what is, in most cases, an incredibly mild sickness.

When you then factor in that as a result of steps towards ID papers, Virtual Currencies, and the 'testing' of the first social credit systems beyond Wales and into London, you see a clear line of implementation of policies that will distinguish the 'approved' from the dissident.

This is worrying enough, but what is clearly occurring in this culture quake is something far worse - the alienation of most people from the very means of what is necessary to live and thrive.

Consider how these past two years has, in effect, detached so many from general health care, and education, and their livelihoods. Consider how, even though the major aspects of the viral crisis ceased months ago, the stringent restrictions continue to be implemented to impact upon every aspect of daily life, impeding any opportunities to see a return to the manner of behaviour and well-being that was common not so long ago.

All of this shares an essential direction and objective - to re-shape the world into a very warped and dislocated future, where poverty and pain have become commonplace for many.

Listening to the impassioned plea from a person who has worked tirelessly in the realm of Mental health aid today was sobering, especially as she spoke of the the 'thinning line of caring doctors and nurses' who are, essentially, the last line before the existing health service falls into disarray - that is how close this manner of breakdown is from becoming widespread.

The prophet Ezekiel also focuses upon another problem - the nature of the disposition of the 'Sheep' of the land (Ezekiel 34: 1-24). The "Shepherds" had so given themselves over to their craving for power and its rewards that the people had not only become neglected in real terms, but "prey" to these cravings, merely viewed as a means to satiate the unceasing appetite of their overseers, but God states that enough of this has already occurred, and now, He Himself will come to rescue and aid those so abused in this manner, having been left scattered and unprotected. This intervention will also be one of judgement for those who have so abused their role (17-24), banishing those 'wild beasts' (vs 29) that health may be restored and what is good is renewed.

It may seem hard to view such a flourishing at present in the midst of all these continuing troubles, but this week has brought a glint of light in respect to the Therenos case in America... 

Once estimated as having a value of some 9 Billion Dollars, Elizabeth Holmes’ company was awarded the Bioscience "Company of the year award" in 2015, attracting directors which included Henry Kissinger and investors like Rupert Murdoch. 

The main pitch of the company was a simple one – they devised a ‘blood drop’ device that could, apparently, detect all manner of diseases without the need for far more intrusive and extensive tests. 

The method was a sure-fire winner, leading to some 700 million dollars investment by its backers, and the likes of Joe Biden stating that such medical innovation was the ‘way forward’ for the future.The problems, however, commenced right there. 

In 2015, Scientific Investigator John Ionnidis looked into the method and the results of the company’s testing, and found it to be entirely bogus, throwing up anomalous results and clearly unable to perform the function it claimed. 

Holmes and her associates then sought to bury the truth, using regular blood testing companies to cover their deceit and even creating a false laboratory as a shop window for investors. 

The rouse continued as Holmes accrued a personal nest egg of around four and a half billion dollars, but the truth eventually broke out, and in 2018, she and her partners were charged with fraud, with the trial facing numerous delays due to the pandemic. Holmes was found guilty this week on 11 charges, and now awaits sentencing.

As I sought to show in my prior mailing, data is now available which implicates another big Medical Technology company in respect to the MRNA materials, and it's interesting to note that John Ionnidis was one of the first voices raised in concern in respect to this, but with the enormous 'Nuremberg 2' lawsuit prepping to begin court proceedings soon, there is clearly going to be other developments in respect to this.

Christianity shows that there is only one true Shepherd worthy of the role, and it is only by our becoming equally 'meek and lowly' that we truly serve well, thereby gearing ourselves to truly feed and protect God's pasture (creation). Let us hope and pray that 2022 may be a season of such renewal and care.
