"Everyone sees what you appear to be; few really know what you are." — Machiavelli

For the longest time, kings, queens, pharaohs, emperors, and others were assumed to have a divine right to rule. It was believed that their authority could be traced back to "god." That rather blatant lie can be seen now, with a truer perspective. More often than not, they exploited, oppressed, and rendered powerless those "beneath" them. The question is, do we have true perspective on our rulers of today? Or is it still just easier to imagine they that they are divinely inspired, wise beyond all measure, and good and noble beings, the higher up they go?

There was a time when political leaders were obvious thugs, brutish, power-mad, manipulative, and secretive. Now, they have become far more cunning. And few people, outside of the inner circle or the media, really know their true nature. They have learned, over time, to be more subtle, so the public would not see them as they truly were. Because they are always being recorded now, and with the Internet, anyone who cares to, can see our political leaders for what they are: liars.

Society has degenerated to such an extent, and become so gullible, that it can no longer perceive the greater evils in this world or its leaders. We'd rather imagine our leaders are good and decent, more noble and better able to guide the rest of us — because they say so. They are getting better at pretending. Joe Biden ludicrously declared that he was bringing us the light, and beating the darkness. Of course, he was doing the exact opposite, promoting every lie, every perversion, every fraud, corruption, immorality, deception, and evil.

We learned in school, you're supposed to give up your power to government, religion, and other people and institutions who take care of you; you're supposed to give them power and authority over you, to make decisions for you, to run your life, to squander your resources and exploit you. Aren't you? Politics can sort everything out, solve our problems, and bring about a "new world order" of love, peace, success, happiness, and freedom for everyone. Sure.

When was the last time you heard a politician tell the truth, rather than what he or she thought everyone wanted to hear?

When is the last time a politician really solved our problems, rather than merely bolstering his or her own position in the generously rewarding political system? How are we going to handle our tens of trillions of dollars of debt, run up by waste, greed, and worthless expenditures of politicians — all in your name? To "help" you.

This may seem impossible, but Western leaders have all been following the same plan to help destroy their own nations. They serve an unseen master, Satan.

Do not mistake the fact that much is being done, and much money is being spent, with the idea that anything is being done well, or right. Rather, the larger government has grown, the less it accepts what is really right, and chooses to become more of a power-mad, money-mad, tyrant to destroy the rights and freedoms of its people. Government directs its power, resources, policies, and efforts to a single end: to gain greater control, promote illusions, prevent dissent, keep the truth from seeing the light of day, and perpetuate wrong.

Politicians are confidence men (also known as "con men") and women. They maintain their power and control over every facet of your life by lying, by feeding your illusions, by doing anything to build your misguided confidence in them.

Is this just a problem in the US? No. Corruption, scandal, abuse of human life, and evil can be found everywhere: Haiti, Somalia, the Sudan, Nigeria, South Africa, North Korea, Japan, Italy, Bosnia, Serbia, Panama, Brazil, France, Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Ukraine, China, and so on.

In Somalia and the Sudan, millions of people starve while the leaders fight with each other to ensure that only they have food, power, and control. It is called "starvation politics." One African leader, Mobutu, flew in a hairdresser from the US, at a cost of many thousands of dollars each week, for his most important agenda item, his haircut — while his people starved in the streets. He was a multi-billionaire, as were the Marcoses of the poverty-stricken Philippines.

It is not just that evil is occurring everywhere; now, it is being exposed everywhere, for all to see. South Africans and Sri Lankans both mastered the art of the "flaming-tire necktie" to silence the political opposition. Evil knows no geographical boundaries. In many countries — throughout Central and South America, in Haiti, in Egypt, in South Africa and elsewhere — control has been maintained by simply removing people from their homes in the middle of the night, imprisoning, raping, torturing, and killing them. This form of "leadership" and "protection of society" can be found everywhere in this world. The United States taught leaders in other countries how do do this. And now, the United States is trying to lead the world in "detaining" political opponents for years, without charging them with a crime, in the most perverted and unconstitutional injustice. Joe Biden did that.

Do you imagine that your government "promotes democracy"?

If so, you do not know the true US history; the United States has overthrown the democratic governments of many, many countries around the world, and empowered tyrannical dictators. They did it in Chile, Iran, Argentina, and so on. And the CIA trained and supported death squads in Central and South America, which dragged thousands of people from their homes, tortured and killed them, and controlled the population by fear and terror.

It is not just "Third World" countries that have their share of wrong-minded leaders and powerful elites. Scandals of corruption of enormous proportions reach (or start at) the top in every government. Italy was rocked with the arrests of hundreds of the elite, who were accused of fraud over many decades, exploiting everyone else for their own gains. Time called it "probing into an apparently bottomless political cesspool."

France and Japan have been shaken with scandals of corruption at the highest levels of government. At one point, four out of five Japanese Prime Ministers resigned in disgrace. Mexico and India are corrupt from the top down to the bottom, with everyone in government — including policemen — expecting payoffs to get anything done. Not only in poor countries like Panama or Mexico does "relief aid" wind up in the pockets of the political leaders; millions of dollars in disaster relief money has gone straight into the pockets of politicians in Italy, without a cent going to help the people it was supposed to help.

Now, $120 billion (and more) has gone to Ukraine, to help jumpstart World War III, and to line the pockets of all of the corrupt politicians in the United States and Ukraine.

Politicians, the elite, and corrupt governments have plundered every economy throughout the world. Your economy (it does not even matter what country you are in) is collapsing; nothing is holding it up but the barest illusions and false confidence. As soon as politician's promises and people's illusions begin to wear thin, it will all fall to pieces. Economies are bankrupt — monetarily and morally. Why? Because those political hacks who were most trusted to look out for your interests were really only looking out for themselves. Surprise. The fox has been in charge of the hen house. Politicians are generally corrupt, lustful, greedy, immoral egomaniacs. None of them have any idea how to solve the world's problems any more than you have. Yet, they claim that they can solve your problems for you. Just give them your money.

Leaders in all nations tend to reflect their society, and can be quite evil, deluded, egocentric, and exploitative. They are just more successful at it, in their hunger for power, their egomania, and their delusions of infallibility of their wisdom and leadership. These are the people who have plundered every economy in the world — the more free, the more freely drained and exploited.

Clearly, this is a system that cannot continue. It is all ruled by Satan and his sociopathic minions, by the worst among us. The powers-that-be are planning to let every nation implode, and then step in with their One World government, with one ruler: Satan sitting at the top of the world. And one religion, again, with Satan at the top.

As we often state, Jesus came to rescue us from all of this. Not to fix it, but to liberate us from it.
