From the internet:

There’s a hidden force that defines reality.

Max Planck and Albert Einstein

Do you know the true power of your thoughts? The truth is stunning.

German physicist and one of the founding fathers of Quantum Theory, Max Planck, said that “all matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particles of an atom to vibration which holds the atom together. We must assume behind this force is the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter.“

In other words, the substance of the universe, of your reality, may be nothing more than consciousness or thought. Consciousness forms the building blocks of the universe and everywhere that consciousness explores, with the expectation that something will be there, it also creates. If Quantum Theory is correct, it implies that to change your current reality, all you need to do is change the frequency of your thoughts.

These statements are similar to the Bible, "In the beginning was the Word", and "In Him we live and have our being", and we are in the image of God, and "God is Love"...

The Kibbutz idea, in various similar forms, is a great idea, and would solve many of the world's economic and social problems.  Many of the people I deal with are Christian, and many are not, so I put the word "Christian" in brackets.  Like nutrition, the Kibbutz is a great idea regardless of other beliefs a person may have.

Kibbutz definition for purposes of this commentary:  A fortified agricultural settlement, usually with common religious and cultural beliefs, in either an urban or rural setting.  It would usually have up to fifty or 100 people, with a half dozen people on a board of directors, and occasional group meetings.  Land ownership forms may vary, but the example of the Amish or Mennonites, with separate family land ownership is suggested.  Members need a way out if things do not work out.

Here is the line of reasoning behind the "Kibbutz" recommendation:

The ancestors of nearly all people on earth, if we go back 1,000 years or more, were living in tribal and small village societies, where everyone worked together to at least some moderate degree.  The tribal society has stood the test of time, under many conditions, for thousands of years.  Even most monkeys and apes have some group-territorial system.

So when large cities rose, why was tribalism often lost?  In my opinion, alcoholism.  Under the influence of alcohol and drugs, people lost the ability to cooperate.  Instead they look for various forms of hierarchy, usually abusive hierarchy, master-servant in various forms:  patricians and plebians in the Roman Empire, oligarchy - peasant in the middle ages, the rich and the poor in most societies around the world...

When wealth and power divisions become too extreme, social tensions arise, and the wealthy and powerful can only maintain power with endless wars, swindles, genocides, and police state oppression.  The USA and Europe, which have had a strong middle class in the past, are losing their middle class -- with endless wars and banking and stock market swindles -- and going to the extremes of wealth and poverty like most of the world...

The suggestion for a return to tribal society, similar to a Kibbutz, provides a way to return to a middle class society, and maintain social stability world-wide.  A Biblical basis would be Deuteronomy 16:18, which provides judges for all the tribes, and at all the gates of the cities.  There are many secular reasons for a tribal and Kibbutz model for society also.

BIBLE VERSES ON CIVIL OBEDIENCE & DISOBEDIENCE

“Conservatives” and “liberals” were debating Obabacare on an internet forum.    “Conservatives” claimed Obamacare is a major mistake, and like AFDC, and will be used in ways to damage society.    “Liberals” quoted “Submit to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake”, etc, and emphasized these verses – to the exclusion of others  –  to the point of “federal action only” for most social problems...  The issue brings up a larger question:

What happens when governments give evil or unrighteous orders, which is very common?

Stalin: “Destroy all religion, Christian, Jewish, Moslem. Exterminate the Kulak family farmers. Wipe out entire villages if someone tells a Stalin joke.”

Hitler: “Destroy Judaism, weaken and eventually destroy Christianity, kill dissenters.”

Pol Pot: “Do you wear glasses? Been to high school? Lived in a large city? Blam!”

AFDC: “You can’t be married or have a man living in the house to collect welfare, but we will pay you a lot of money if you keep having children out of wedlock.”

Moslem religious and civil authorities: “Kill the Christians and all infidels.”

So what does the Bible say in regard to following an evil order?

I Peter 2:13 NKJV: “Therefore submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake, whether to the king as supreme, or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of evil doers and for the praise of those who do good.”

There needs to be a qualifier, “When and if” – “The king as supreme, or the governors” are doing their proper job, which is here defined as sent by the Lord “for the punishment of evil doers and for the praise of those who do good.”

Suppose the king or the governors themselves, give an evil or unrighteous order, which is very common with some governments. This situation is dealt with also in the Bible:

Acts 5:17-40 NKJV: “Then the high priest rose up… and laid their hands on the apostles and put them in the common prison.”

So the apostles have been put under arrest and put in prison by the high priest, who was also the local civil authority…

“But at night an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors and brought them out, and said, Go stand in the temple and speak to the people all the words of this life.”

So an angel of the Lord was in direct defiance of the local religious, civil, and police authorities.

… “Then the captain went with the officers and brought them without violence…”

They were arrested again by the police forces of the time.

“And… set them before the council. And the high priest asked them, saying, “Did we not strictly command you not to teach in this name?

… But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: “We ought to obey God rather than men. The God of our fathers raised up Jesus…”

So if we are given an evil or unrighteous order by any level of government, an order contrary to God or the Bible, “We ought to obey God rather than men”, although a person might argue that this principle should be used sparingly…

Government court cases also back up this principle to some degree, as in the Nuremberg trials.

If a National Socialist government gave an evil order, is it an adequate defense before law to say, “I was only following orders”?  No.  At some point, there is some kind of cosmic moral code that asserts itself, whatever a person may believe, and we are obligated to follow that moral code or be held responsible.

Open defiance of government orders?  In some cases, “Yes”. It’s in the Bible, and in international case law, as in the Nuremberg trials.

Should such open defiance be used sparingly?  Yes, for common sense reasons it can be argued, it should only be used for principles basic enough that a person is willing to risk the resulting legal problems.

Here is a similar example from the Old Testament.  If God is truly with you, you can get away with defiance of the king.  If God is not with you, you may pay a very high penalty:

Daniel 3:4-30: NKJV:  “To you it is commanded, O peoples, nations, and languages, that at the time you hear the sound of the horn… you shall fall down and worship the gold image that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up; and whoever does not fall down and worship shall be cast immediately into the midst of a burning fiery furnace. … They answered and said to the king, ‘True, O king.’  ‘Look!’ he answered, ‘I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.’”

Here is another principle: Spiritual warfare.

II Corinthians 10:3-5 NKJV: “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every though into captivity to the obedience of Christ…”

II Corinthians 10:4 Aramaic Bible in Plain English: “The weapons of our warfare are not according to the flesh, but of the power of God, and by it we subdue rebellious fortresses…”

According to this principle, if an evil order is given by a government, a primary response is to engage in prayer and spiritual warfare, which are “mighty in God for pulling down strongholds”, strongholds of any kind.

Evil orders have been given by a high percentage of organizations with concentrated social power -- whether by religious leaders, bankers, corporations, or secular governments -- all down thru history, from ancient times to the most modern. When we encounter such evil orders, we are to fight back, but our first response is to be spiritual warfare, then economic or political action of some kind when given the opportunity, and only resort to open defiance as a last resort.

Leave what remains for the alien, the fatherless and the widow.  When you harvest the grapes in your vineyard, do not go over the vines again.

BIBLE VERSES ON POLITICS

POLITICS AND ECONOMICS:   Biblical, scientific, and common sense

NUTRITION:   Genesis 1:29:”And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.”

Healthy people make a healthy society.

MARRIAGE:   Mark 10:6,7: “But from the beginning of creation God made them male and female. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife.”

Some studies show that married people live longer, make more money, and pass more wealth to their children. Marriage has been historically regarded as a major pillar of civilization and middle class economics. Widespread single motherhood tends to be associated with alcoholism, drug addiction, high crime rates, and social and economic decline.

FARMING:   Genesis 3:23: “The Lord God sent him forth from the Garden of Eden to till the ground.”

Food production is typically 1/3 of the economy of many nations. Even busy people can plant a few fruit trees. It is good to keep food production at the local level as much as possible, out of the control of distant and often abusive bureaucrats, public or private.

FAMILIES, TRIBES, AND TERRITORY:   Joshua 15:1,2: “This then was the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah by their families, even to the border of Edom… And their south border was from the shore of the salt sea…”

Tribes were established in the Old Testament, and are named on the gates of heaven in the New Testament. Local ownership of homes, farms, businesses, and local control of political units adds a lot of stability to society.

GROUPS OF THOUSANDS, HUNDREDS, FIFTIES, TENS:   Exodus 18:21: “Provide… able men… to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.”

Organizes society at the local level, and keeps large bureaucratic organizations under control.

NATIONALISM:    Deuteronomy 1:8: “Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers… to give unto them and to their seed after them. Matthew 28:19: "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations..."

Nations are ordained of God, and are usually organized around local religious, tribal, and cultural communities with enough in common so that society can function.

BASIC HONESTY:   Exodus 20:4-17: “Thou shalt not kill… Thou shalt not commit adultery… Thou shalt not steal… Thou shalt not bear false witness…”

Basic honesty is necessary for society to function. These values need to be aggressively taught. Historically, the USA ranked high in these values, and became wealthy as a byproduct. The USA is losing these values, and is losing its wealth. Much of the poverty stricken third world is lacking in these values. In some cultures nearly everyone is a liar and a thief, producing a society with a few rich and many poor.

GOD FIRST:   Matthew 6:33: “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”

If God is first, morals, honesty, and a work ethic second, prosperity tends to follow.

SMALL BUSINESS OWNERSHIP:   I Thessalonians 4:10-12: “We beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more and more; and that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands… that ye may walk honestly… and that ye may have lack of nothing.”

Small business is still about 80% of private employment. The formula: Business ownership, study, work, honesty, and the result is “increase more and more”.

FAMILY AND CHURCH BASED WELFARE:   I Timothy 5:16: “If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be charged, that it may relieve them that are widows indeed.”

Families and churches are to be responsible for welfare, at the local level. If government gets involved, society ends up with something like AFDC, where the government pays a bonus to poor single mothers to keep having illegitimate children, which creates a crime wave which creates a need for more police, more social workers, more prisons, more judges, more taxes, more government. The Bible way is infinitely better.

BEWARE OF DEBT:   Proverbs 22:7: “The borrower is servant to the lender.”

It’s basic common sense.

BEWARE OF LAWYERS AND COURTROOMS:   I Corinthians 6;1: “Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world.”

Secular lawyers are making incomprehensible and oppressive laws for everyone, and bankrupting industry and hospitals. The Bible refers to their system as “unjust”.  We are to judge ourselves, within our own communities, as much as possible.

JUBILEE:   Leviticus 25:10-17: “And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year… and ye shall return every man unto his possession… A jubilee shall that fiftieth year be unto you… ye shall not oppress one another.”

The basic idea is that society should not allow large accumulations of wealth to exist. One way or another, huge accumulations of wealth must be broken up every fifty years. The super rich have a tendency to destroy society, as is happening now as this is written. If society is to survive, the massive accumulations of wealth must be broken up.

LOCAL JUDGES ARE BETTER THAN A KING:   Deuteronomy 16:18-20: “Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which the Lord thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes…” I Samuel 8:1-22: “And the Lord said unto Samuel… for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them… Hearken unto their voice, and make them a king.”

Local tribal and community judges, symbolic of local political power, are what God ordained. When the people rejected God, he let them have a king, symbolic of centralized economic and political power, but God warned them that the king would bring war, high taxes, and oppression.

ECONOMIC THEORY:   II Chronicles 26:5: "As long as he sought the Lord, God caused him to prosper."

God can be a light unto your path, and guide you where you need to go.  God is the ultimate source of prosperity.

POLITICAL THEORY:   Proverbs 14:34: “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.”

As founders of the USA said, the Constitution was for a religious and a moral people, but was inadequate for any other.

It’s a wild time in politics.  
Wild enough, I thought I would make a few comments on it.

Big money is on a drunken bender,
War after war, and swindle after swindle.  
Of course, they need a lot of people willing to follow a money trail –
Military men, politicians, media, secret police,
And including much of the general public –
A certain critical mass is necessary for things to go one way or another.  

Since big money can print money out of thin air,
They certainly have an advantage, don't they?  
If anyone puts morals or principles of any kind ahead of money,
The big money loses influence to that degree.  
Of course, morals ahead of money,
Is the way everyone should live, but few do.

Let's sit back and relax, and survey this situation.  
Does the big money have any respect for the people who follow the money trail?  
Or does the big money regard them, perhaps all of them, as useful idiots,
To be disposed of when the time is right?  
The second option, IMO,
Which is obvious to anyone willing to do a little study.

Let’s take the case of the secret police, as one typical example of study.
Big money needs secret police.  
But secret police are also a threat to the big money itself.
They have weapons.  Money.  Time.  Layers of secrecy.  A lot of knowledge.
They often have rogue cells, and the top leaders can rarely control them.
If they were to back one faction or another in a power struggle,
They could make a lot of difference.
Or seize power for themselves.  Why not?

Putin of Russia is former and-or present secret police.
They say you never really leave the agency.

Pay scales were a matter of interest to Stalin.
How much do you have to pay the secret police,
To get them to turn traitor to their own people?
And not even think about it?
Well, he discovered a formula, a multiplier.

If the secret police are paid 1.4 times what they can make
In any other line of work,
They will do what they are told, and turn traitor on their own people,
Without question.
If they are paid more than 1.4 times, they get lazy and won’t work.
If they are paid less than 1.4 times, they get restless, and can’t be trusted.

Think about the above principles.
If the secret police help the dictator, or any kind of ruling class,
Smash the wages of the peasants,
It will only be a matter of time,
Before the secret police themselves are due for a pay cut.
By necessity.  By laws of nature.  By dynamics of social forces.

Ho-ho-ho.  So in the present avalanche of absurdity,
In the geo-political and economic scene,
The secret police, the loyal followers of a money trail,
Are working for a pay cut!  
Ho-ho-ho!

And they are not the only ones.
The teachers unions in Wisconsin, Ohio, California, New Jersey,
And pretty much everywhere else, before it is all over,
Are also working for a pay cut.

There is also some law of economics, a law of social dynamics,
That says all who depend on taxes from the taxpayers,
Will eventually end up with some multiplier of the tax payer’s income.

And it isn’t just secret police or teachers unions.
It is all military men.  All bureaucrats.  All welfare recipients.
All Social Security.  All recipients of government money of any kind.
There is some kind of multiplier for all of them.

The more money the tax payer makes,
The more money that is available thru taxes
For those who depend on a tax based income.
If the tax payer is prosperous, there is more money for taxes.
If the tax payer is bankrupted, or out of work,
Or working for lower wages, or competing with legal and illegal immigrants,
In a race to the bottom,
There is eventually less money in the system
For all who depend on the taxes.

And if the bankers just print more money
As they are doing now,
The money just eventually deflates in value,
So there is still a cut in purchasing power, one way or another.

But there is more involved for all of these people,
Including the big money at the top,
Than merely just money and wages or income.
There is political power, and the question,
Who is in charge?  Who gets to sit at the top?

Often the rich fight among themselves,
As recorded in the Bible,
In the writings of Shakespeare,
In Byzantine intrigues,
In the constant threat of revolution in most empires.
Look at all the wars, revolutions, regime changes since 1900,
Financed by London and Wall Street banks against other countries.

What is the chance of something similar happening to them?
After all, Putin seems to have knocked them mostly out of Russia,
And China and India and Japan are restless,
And the Moslem countries are heavily infiltrated by agent provocateurs,
But are nevertheless difficult to control bucking broncos...

And then there is the retirement-by-murder retirement plan
That many dictators have for their military officers and secret police.
Make a list.  Do your homework.  Here are a few for the list:

Stalin killed most of his top military officers before WWII,
And his most successful military general after WWII was over.
Hitler killed 5,000 of his military officers after a coupe attempt.
He killed most of the SA leadership, but left the Gestapo alone.
He allegedly lost control of that one.  He couldn't control Himmler.
Alexander the Great started killing his top military officers,
Near the end of his career.
A sense of insecurity may have been one of the reasons his career ended when it did.
It is alleged the military officers killed Alexander the Great,
Before he could kill them.

Pol Pot had two top generals who followed orders
In killing four million Cambodians, according to the current government,
But he became paranoid, and killed one of the generals,
And the other general feared for his life,
And started a civil war, and drove Pol Pot into the jungle,
Where Pol Pot died of malaria a few years later.

The secret police also have high risk of retirement by murder,
As Casey in the USA has already discovered,
And four ex-body guards of Clinton discovered at Waco,
According to a newsvideo that was accidently released to the public,
And as a federal marshal who arrested a friend of David Rockefeller on drug charges,
Discovered in a similar manner at Ruby Ridge.

Stalin had twenty two secret police agencies,
And did not trust any of them.
Over a twenty year period of time,
He would tell one secret police agency after another,
That they had the inside track,
And have them exterminate another agency.

Stalin killed off all of the original secret police agencies,
Including Jewish branches of the secret police,
Except one.  The last one.  But he was working on it.
However, they were able to kill Stalin before he killed them.
A dose of warfarin, rat poison, is one theory, according to the magazine Barnes Review.  
They let him bleed to death internally, and kept adequate medical help from him.
And Beria, the head of the KGB,
The director of tens of millions of deaths of the general population
Was also arrested and killed in prison
While trying to start a coupe to take power after the death of Stalin.

For any secret police who may be reading this, there is no need to take my word for it.
You have money and time.  Do your homework.
Do your own research.

Do you think following the money trail is going to lead to a pay increase?
Or possibly a pay cut?  Think about it.
The mass of tax payers are making less money, not more.
And-or, what are the chances of an unexpected retirement plan?

What about agents who are Mossad.  Does being Jewish change the dynamics?
Perhaps more of an inside track with some of the big money?
Maybe.  To some degree.  But there are some questions even here.
Is Judaism monolithic?  Hardly, as anyone who is part of the community should know.
Was Hitler 1/4 Jewish?  1/4 Rothschild?  That is a reasonably reliable claim.

That Polish Jews were competing with Rothschild Jews,
Who are inbred, and allegedly mixed race, Jewish and gentile,
And they allegedly hated each other more than they hated the Moslems,
According to one book with a Jewish author, A Legacy of Hate,
And Rothschild hired Hitler to get rid of two competitors at once --
The Germans in a deliberately no-win war, and the Polish Jews.
There are claims that there are major multiple fault-lines in Jewish society,
Just as there are major multiple fault-lines in all gentile societies...

There is a way out of all this uncertainty and turmoil.
A positive way out for everyone.
Military.  Secret police.  Politicians.  Mass media people.  Bureaucrats.
The general population.  Jews and gentiles.
All religions, races, tribes, cultures, and population groups.
Even the big money people themselves.
And what is the positive answer?

Develop a common sense moral code, a set of religious type values of some kind,
Something that includes various forms of religious-racial-tribal-cultural nationalism,
Something that also promotes spiritual and nutritional health...
(Some beliefs are better than others, of course),
And in general, a moral code that is more important than money.

As Jesus Christ told us, “You can not serve God and mammon (money).”

The Evolution of Prejudice

Scientists see the beginnings of racism in monkeys

Psychologists have long known that many people are prejudiced towards others based on group affiliations, be they racial, ethnic, religious, or even political. However, we know far less about why people are prone to prejudice in the first place. New research, using monkeys, suggests that the roots lie deep in our evolutionary past.

Demographic facts of life:

Let's say religious, tribal, racial and-or other population group "A" has 80 families.  Each family has two children by age 30, so in the next generation, they produce 160 children.  That is enough to replace themselves.

Let's say religious, tribal,racial and-or other population group "B" has 20 families.  Each family has 10 children (and sometimes grandchildren) by age 30, so in the next generation they produce 200 children.  That is enough to multiply their population five times, and they have out bred what was the once the larger population group within one generation.

The genetic competition may be racial, tribal, or cultural, etc.  The most intelligent, most educated, most financially successful, most involved with healthy culture  (OK, these factors are not necessarily connected...) tend to have smaller families, closer to the two children per family, sometimes less.

The less intelligent, the less educated, the more criminal, the more welfare dependent tend to have more children per family, sometimes two to ten times more than others.  This pattern is true for all religious, racial, tribal, and-or cultural groups in all civilizations, which is why one book, Sex versus Civilization, said all civilizations have been biological disasters.

In the past, some "civilizations" have crashed so badly, that over hundreds of years, the dysfunctional are selected out, and the better elements tend to take over again, after they quit caring for the dysfunctional ones.

Most of the world has a major demographic problem on its hands:  Russia, Europe, the Americas, Japan, Israel, etc.  It is the semi-literate blacks, semi-literate Latinos, semi-literate Moslems with the highest birth rates.  The so-called high tech culture of the future is being disproportionately inherited by semi-literate people, also disproportionately criminal, alcoholic, and drug addicted.  Something major is probably going to give way somewhere along the line.

The adoption of the concept of various forms of religious-racial-tribal-cultural nationalism, in contrast to a money oriented society, would rapidly help solve the problems for all involved.
