Speak truth! Speak it loudly!
Speak it with resonance, clarity and great deliberateness.
This is what they fear.
Truth is a weapon against pretending.
Use it!
Watch what happens!

I was once asked by journalist Lee Smith to stand back, look at the total landscape, give my honest evaluation of the state of things, while defining the largest problem. My answer was immediate and deliberate….
We are living in an era of “Great Pretending.” That’s it. That’s the #1 issue that creates the angst, anxiety and suffering we all encounter. Perhaps a self-defense mechanism, but certainly, a psychological need to pretend things are something other than what they truly are. It’s everywhere, all around us, and it is almost painful to be one of the people amid the chaos who refuses to pretend.

It’s everywhere, all around us, and it is almost painful to be one of the people amid the chaos who refuses to pretend.
Long after we are gone there will be people, perhaps not yet born, who will look upon this era and define it as this mysterious time when billions of people found it easier to pretend than face the reality of the precipice. It has been said that “ignorance is bliss,” but this is not that. This state of pretending is something far more insidious, far more dangerous, and yet acceptance of this pretending reality provides the stable non-pretending psyche with enhanced predictive insight for what comes next.
You might say those paragraphs sound awfully esoteric in value, somewhat difficult to fully contextualize without a solid frame of reference or example. Well, here’s an example of intentional pretending via CBS today. Catherine Herridge (EoS) knows the truth of the thing, yet she cannot share the truth of the thing; so, she pretends not to know the truth of the thing while softly bumping up against the acceptable pretending of the thing. Just watch the first 2 minutes and you will see it. WATCH:

As the pretending outline existed before, David Weiss could go anywhere he wanted to investigate and prosecute the Biden issue. A least that was the story from the Dept of Justice and even Weiss himself. Yet, for some rather mysterious reason, Weiss needed to ask for special counsel status. It’s all just an exhibition in parseltongue and pretending.
The DOJ is trying to protect the Biden family while simultaneously prosecuting their political opposition, Donald Trump. Toward that end, the special prosecutor against Trump asked for, and received, a secret court order for data from the Twitter account of Trump; their justification, Trump was a flight risk. Now think about that.

Now think about that.
A secret, under seal, court order authorized under the justification of President Trump being a flight risk. The most famous man in the world, a man known by everyone on the entire planet earth, a walking human GPS system who literally has armed guards of the U.S. government following him around every day and documenting his every move, is considered a “flight risk”?
What level of pretending is needed to make that judicial justification seem rational? I digress.

As long as the era of great pretending remains the easiest psychological condition to survive the abuse, there will be no shift for people to look at their core beliefs and the fabricated world around them.
The challenge is getting those who understand the big picture dynamics to stop being comfortable and sticking their heads in the sand about “motive”. Most people are still clinging to beliefs around a principle of ‘rule of law’ that applies to national leadership writ large. We need to change that thinking quickly – or we will be left explaining ‘what happened’ far too late.

There is also a major issue with conservative “ushers” guiding the audience into a state of tactical numbness. A willful blindness within part of the American electorate, a chosen refusal to acknowledge the implications of the unAmerican and unconstititional actions we are seeing on a daily basis.
It can no longer be presumed to be a matter of, “I can’t see what’s happening”, because a whole lot of normal Americans really are clean and articulate. “I can’t see it”, just doesn’t cut it.

It’s more along the lines of, “I see what’s happening, but it’s scary and complicated and confusing, and if I admit that I see it, I will become responsible in a way that I am not if I keep pretending; I can’t see it or hear it, or maybe I don’t understand it.”
Why don’t we dare say what is so? Are we a bit afraid that if we give up the willful blindness we will perhaps start screaming and not be able to stop? Do we think we have so little courage? Do we really believe that we have no resources to bring to the battle – or nothing more to contribute to the turning of the battle?
If we stop pretending, we unite as a country, because we all start to accept the same baselines. The fraud, that has been purposefully deployed as a tool for fundamental change, can only exist if people pretend that fraud and corruption does not exist. Stop pretending, and the sunlight of commonality begins to unite our nation.
Believe me, and think about this with great serious reflection, the systems that are destroying us rely upon our continued pretending.

If you want to be a person of great influence in this current era, stop pretending. Start living, speaking, challenging and being direct and brutally honest when you encounter the need for pretending. Stop participating in the pretense, and you will see the natural outcome of a loving God elevate you.
We have the tools, resources and opportunity to speak with great resonance and clarity.
Speak truth!
Speak it loudly!
Speak it with resonance, clarity and great deliberateness.
This is what they fear.
Truth is a weapon against pretending.
Use it!
Watch what happens!
