Last week we gave you an overview from 30k feet of our belief system. This week I'd like to give you our all-too-brief take on our historical challenge, what's currently happening in our world, leading up to our Pt III discussion about how it's affecting our profession and what we can do about it.

Our present is inescapably rooted in our past. If current events make little sense to you, then your critical thinking skills are probably telling you there's something wrong with your view of our collective history. Just a thought worth thinking about.

Got Critical Thinking Skills? Trust Your Instincts

Our lack of critical thinking skills are killing us as a nation. We too easily believe what the talking heads on TV, newspapers, and the Internet are telling us. Time to take the blinders off and think for ourselves! (If we can't do that, how can we ask our clients to face their issues?)

I'm asking you to keep an open mind about our history and question everything you've been told. I sure am. Ask yourself, WTH is going on in our world right now?? Be willing to update your beliefs, base your thoughts going forward on researched history, and trust your own gut feelings.

Does This Sound "Normal" To You?

I compiled a partial, categorical list of current events.

Before we begin, if you're inclined to accuse me of making this a Republican vs Democrat issue, please don't. It's not. This is a much, much larger issue than "Joe Biden". It's a Globalists vs Nationalists battle being fought on a much larger stage which is what makes it all so confusing.

• Election Fraud (We're way past the "this has been debunked" claim)
• Monetary Crisis/Sound Money (Your money is backed by NOTHING.)
• Supreme Court (The approval process has become a national joke)
• Military/Space Force/WWIII <sigh>
• Pandemic/Vaccine Issues/VAERS (Do a little research on the adverse reactions here then tell me it's safe)
• Food Shortages (The bread-basket of the WORLD is experiencing food shortages? Really?)
• Energy/Fuel Shortages (We were energy independent 20 months ago. What happened?)
• Supply Chain Issues (Screw this up and you create shortages in almost any product category you can think of. It's easy!)
• Border Crisis (Why are we allowing what numerically amounts to an invasion of illegal voters, I mean aliens?)
• Human Trafficking (Lot of money to be made here (sex, organs, labor) and it's an international problem.)
• The Economic Recession (I know how to define recession and we're in one!)
• Main Stream Media (The mouthpiece for the Globalists. Listen to some reputable, alternative news sources then get back with me)
• NWO Groups (Look into The World Economic Forum, the WHO, Bilderberg, the UN and do a little reading.
• American Political Corruption (Deep State = Globalists and their sympathizers operating in public and private offices, implementing the globalist agenda)
• Gender Identity/Social Issues (tune in next week!)

Does this sound like a normal list of public issues to you? 'Cause it doesn't to me.

Our Historical Challenge: Tenuous Beginnings

This is important. There were two camps of thought debating the Constitution; those advocating for the superiority of each State to determine its own course, and those who favored a strong, centralized (Federal) government. The States rightists wanted more local control that served as a defensive barrier against the type of tyranny they were trying to get away from. Those championing a stronger central government were largely elitists accustomed to top-down rule. Thankfully, the States' Rights faction won the day. (Little more to it than that but that's the gist of it.)

Globalists were well on their way to a one-world government when America came along. Our form of government, our country, has been a thorn in their plans ever since. In fact, the only thing standing between their goal of a One World Government is the United States of America and that damned Constitution!

"Globalism" is The Enemy

Since the early 1900's every enemy of the US has come to realize that a military conquest of the most powerful nation on Earth is not likely (not to mention that the citizenry is armed. See how that comes in handy?). America must be taken down in the same manner in which Rome met it's end; it must rot from within.

Our country has been experiencing a slow shift from "just to the right of center", moving steadily towards far-leftist ideologies for the past 250 years. Why is that, and how is this happening? Obama promised, "fundamental change for America" and we bought it without too much thought as to what he really meant.

Impediments to a Globalist Victory

If you were going to conquer the US from within, what are the institutions you would need to attack and weaken? Here's what I would do:

1. FOUNDATIONAL BELIEFS
Get the citizenry to move away from their foundational beliefs (God, patriotism, the family unit, etc) as quickly as possible but not so quickly that they become alarmed. (Use the "Boiling A Frog 1 Degree at a Time" method)

2. STATES RIGHTS
Get the citizenry of each State to voluntarily cede their liberties/rights, slowly and one at a time, to the Federal government under the guise of national emergencies, Federal Assistance Programs and the like. ("Never let a crisis go to waste!")

3. FREE SPEECH (1A)
Gain control of all speech channels. Limit/censor what individuals can say both privately and publicly, and gain control over the news media and use it for propaganda purposes.

4. RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS (2A)
Slowly disarm the population one gun type, one part, one bullet, one tax at a time. Confiscate arms where possible, make ammunition difficult or impossible to find and purchase, or pass (unconstitutional) laws taxing gun ownership and do all of this under the righteous cover of protecting citizens from gun violence.

5. FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS
Actively train like-minded people to be installed in the local political spheres (organized, globalist thought-training) and create unfair/illegal advantages in our election system to ensure their placement. Control the election outcomes and you can "fundamentally transform America". Heard that before?

6. A SOUND MONEY SUPPLY
Establish complete and total control over a fiat monetary system not controlled by the people. This way we can simply print more paper money and launder it (as needed) through clandestine points around the globe. He who controls the money supply is in charge. (The Central Banks are privately owned and we "rent" our money from them.)

7. CREATE A SYSTEMIC FEDERAL DEPENDENCY
Establish public dependency on the Federal government in at least the areas of health, food, and transportation industries. (A sick and/or starving public will gladly do whatever they're told to keep from dying.) If the Fed can get corporate America to do its bidding then they can control entire sectors like food, medicine, transportation. This is called Fascism, btw.

8. PROMOTE CIVIL DIVISION: DIVIDE AND CONQUER
Divide the people on as many social and religious issues as possible. The end-game is to keep us occupied with each other at the local and State levels so they aren't focused on what's really going on at the National/Global level.

This (#8) will be the only topic of the 3rd and final post in this series. Do you see any of this happening in your America? I sure do. Just keep those points in mind as we move forward.

How Do We Fight Back?

The best way is to get involved at the local/city and State levels. Do more if you are so inclined but at least vote in every election you can after you've done your research. More on what we can do to fight back in Part III of this series.

What Does This Have to Do With The Counseling Profession?

Everything! Look at #8. Our clients are living through some of the most twisted social ideology right now and people are asking themselves, "WTH is going on?". Counselors are perplexed and confused as to how to deal with these "new norms: that are being pushed on us and it's not going to get better unless we push back.

What are we going to tell our clients if our worldviews aren't based on solid precepts?

We have to be ahead of the curve as to what's really going on in the world for reasons that we will discuss next week.

Summary

Something BIG is going on and it's not the "normal" American life that the Founding Fathers envisioned. It is, however, EXACTLY the very thing they feared the most...tyranny! That eventuality is why we have the form of government we have and the many defenses that are built into the Constitution; to defend us from that evil should it ever occur.

Well, it's here.

But don't trust me, do your own thinking, your own research, and trust your instincts. I've given you numerous links above so start there. Next week we're going to do a deep-dive on #8, the Divide and Conquer tactic, and talk about how it's affecting our culture, our profession and our clients, and what we can do about it.

"Trigger Warning": It's not going to be for the easily offended and we'll make no apologies!

Plan Smart. Be Safe. Serve Others.
