If you missed it, please read this first part. Everything will be sensible, as it all falls into
place.
The Great
Hindrance
I had a thought: allow
me to express it this way.
If all of God’s
messengers were water in a bucket and I were but a tablespoon of that water, my
removal would scarcely be noticed. The remaining water would immediately flow
in and fill the space I left behind. The reality is humbling, but the Lord is
so worth it. People are desperate for truth, even though many refuse [reject]
the truth when they hear it.
For two decades, I
have strived to share the gospel of Jesus Christ [the Great Commission]
[Mk 16:15; Mat 28:19-20] as all born-again believers, as salt and light, are
instructed to do. I have done my best to never touch the glory of God or think
more highly of myself than I ought, yet I do realize that my absence from the
internet would not shake things up.
That is what it is
all about because the work is the Lord’s; it is all His doing. As it has always
been from the beginning, others will continue sharing the Good News.
Pride can be subtle (not
always obvious). I have to guard against pride in myself: this flesh cannot
be trusted, and my own heart can deceive me. [Jer 17:9] But Jesus! I can still
mess up (hopefully less as we mature in Christ), yet Abba has done an amazing
work in me compared to what I once was, just as He promised.
Being confident
of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will perform it until
the day of Jesus Christ: [Phil
1:6]
It’s imperative to me
that people know that Jesus does this for everyone who sincerely hungers
and thirsts for Him. He is Living Water; the Bread of Life. [Jn 4:10; 6:35] He
is the Potter; we are the clay. [Is 64:8] He is the Good Shepherd; we are the
sheep who can easily stray. [Jn 10:11] The same transformation and grace are available
to all.
He is not looking for
perfect vessels, but rather, He is looking for vessels to perfect.
As much as I have
tried to keep up with daily writing, I am slower these days for many reasons.
Years back, I began mentioning “distractions” in my writing, and ‘hindrances’ (such
as the apostle Paul spoke of being ‘hindered’ by the adversary [Satan] [1Thes2:18].
Recently, I overheard
my nine-year-old grandson warning a friend during a game to watch out for the “distraction
box”, designed to lay false clues that would send ‘rogue agents’ down
the wrong trail. Sounds like Satan and his minions, does it not?
“Distraction box”.
That phrase stuck with me.
Friends, every
generation has faced distractions in different ways. Solomon had a point when he
wrote that nothing is new under the sun. [Eccl 1:9] We have been contending
with that since Eden; it is part of the fallen human nature.
However, Solomon was
not exposed to the technologies or AI that we have today. Jesus did say that
things that are coming are things that have never been before, and shall never
be repeated.
For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the
beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. [Mat 24:21]
The adversary and his
minions, alongside the world, continually work to shape our thinking, influence
our emotions, and direct our reactions, conditioning us to accept what should
never be accepted. Some call it conditioning; I call it programming.
For now, I would appreciate your prayers as I consider starting a YouTube
channel. I do not know whether I can continue keeping pace through writing
alone. Things are moving quickly in this world, and 2030 is almost upon us. (Another topic, another day).
If you think time is going fast now, wait until the great
tribulation begins. Things will move so quickly, hardly anyone will be able to
keep up – except in one way. Jesus (Yeshua)! We all need Him, and that
need will only increase!
What About
Conspiracies?
A conspiracy is a plot or
plan by two or more people involving a dangerous act or event that causes evil
or harm to befall others.
Jesus is the Way to Stay Balanced
The Assyrians were treacherous enemies of the Israelites,
and the people were terrified when they heard the armies had gathered for an
impending attack, thus denying the power of the living God. Even Isaiah was
tempted to walk in fear, but the Lord strongly counselled the prophet.
For the LORD spoke thus to me with a strong
hand, and warned me not to walk in the way of this people, saying: Do not say,
A conspiracy to all this people call a conspiracy, and do not fear their
fear, nor be in dread. But the LORD of hosts
himself is the one to fear; He is the one you are to dread. [Is
8:11-13] ESV
He was not to call conspiracy what the people called conspiracy,
and he was not to fear their fear. It was not whether the threats or political
realities were real or not. The issue was the fear of the Assyrians’ power
overwhelming them instead of placing their trust in the ‘Lord of hosts’ and
remembering HIS power. Their fear was the dread of the conspiracy being acted
out.
Fast-forward hundreds of years to the words of Jesus.
And fear not them which kill
the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear Him who is able
to destroy both soul and body in hell. [Mat 10:28]
The Lord does not want us to be so fixated on the evil in this world that we are in constant dread. Violence, rebellion, corruption, and deception have been around from the beginning, as in the days of Noah, Sodom and Gomorrah.
We are instructed to watch and pray, which we are to do
calmly, not as one consumed by the uncertainties and the wickedness all around.
There are obvious imbalances, which many simply call division. Extremes on both
sides are what are causing the dynamic equilibrium of the scales.
Deception, evil, and conspiracies all exist, and so does the
adversary and his invisible armies. Our confidence is not found in uncovering
the plots, but in finding our strength in Jesus, gaining more discernment
through the Holy Spirit, and remaining steadfast in faith by keeping Jesus as
our first love. Deception exists, but it is not the final word.
Time Speeds
Up and Slows Down
For there
is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept
secret, but that it should come abroad. [Mk 4:22; Lk 8:17]
Hopefully, all that has been written is kept in mind because now I continue with part two of the previous article posted a few days ago. In the last article, I spoke about time and CERN experiments regarding time.
What I
shared were conspiracy facts, not theories. It is no secret that the shutdown of CERN is a
reality. The video at that link was posted three months ago. The reason I
brought CERN up was that I am constantly hearing people talk about how fast the
days are going and time itself.
It is mentioned casually, but these comments are heard from strangers, or people I know (family, friends, neighbours), in articles, on podcasts, from young people to the elderly. People are noticing something wrong with time.
CERN actually gave a reason scientifically (bringing up Einstein and this theory of relativity). The first part explains the theory of time. Scroll to CERN.
My thoughts go toward Jesus, who stated that unless He shortened the time in the coming days, no flesh would be saved alive. That is how serious the destruction of the world will be. If left up to us, humankind will destroy the world and everything alive in it. [Mat 24:22]
Increased
Discernment Only Comes from Jesus
Deception abounds.
Prayers are not always answered instantaneously,
but they are answered. That has always been my experience. At times, there are
things we must learn before an answer comes. Other times, the Lord must take
care of things in the background before He reveals a matter, particularly if
exposure involves people.
I do not pretend to have all the answers or all
the understanding of God’s ways; none of us do. In fact, I know very little
when it comes to the deep well of knowledge, especially when I discovered that
the well is consistently being filled up from an ocean
of knowledge.
That insight and understanding caused me to adopt the adage: “The more I learn, the less I know.”
And the Word of God causes me to walk more humbly as it confirms the truth.
For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways My ways, says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher
than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your
thoughts. [Is 55:8-9]
Overcoming our old nature is a process as we learn to avoid temptations and the devil when we proclaim the Word of God, and walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh. We lay down our lives daily by picking up the cross and nailing our fleshly lusts [passions], desires, and cravings to it.[Rev 12:11]
This walk is not easy, but I can promise you that
the longer we abide in Jesus, the easier it gets.
Jesus helps us, but He will not force us to do His
will. Most of us are astounded at the chaos, corruption, and deception that are
in the church and in the world today. The infiltration began back in the days
of the apostles.
One final point should be emphasized. We must
distinguish between discernment and suspicion, as they are not the same thing.
There were times I confused the two, but the Holy Spirit was gracious and pointed
out my error.
I would rather walk in the humility of correction
than in the error of pride. (An expression the Holy Spirit gave me approximately
nine years ago – to God alone be the glory.)
Although deception abounds, truth is more
powerful. God is truth, and all things are under His control and sovereign
authority.
We guard against being cynical, suspicious, and
fearful by seeking God. In doing so, we will be seeking the truth. If we fear
anything, let us fear God, for the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
[Prov 9:10]
Sounding the Alarm to Warn of Danger
Before I finished the previous article on ticks (first part), it was
important to say the above to keep the focus on Jesus. Everything the Lord does
is done decently and in order, and I intend to follow in His footsteps.
In this concluding second part, I will separate
fact from fiction so that readers can pray effectively and specifically.
Thirty-three is a number that means much to me
because it immediately brings to mind Ezekiel chapter 33. The Lord instructs the
prophet to be a watchman, warning of impending judgment and any approaching
danger he sees coming.
If he sounds the alarm and warns the people, yet they
refuse to listen, their blood is upon their own heads. [33:4] However, if he
sees a sword coming upon the land [God’s judgment] and fails to warn the
people, then the Lord will hold the watchman accountable for his negligence. [33:6]
For example, consider the prophet Jonah.
This is not about ticks being God’s judgment. Rather,
this is about fulfilling the role of a watchman. When we see danger approaching,
we are obligated to warn others. Whether they listen or not is ultimately between
them and the Lord.
Some people teach that we are not under the law,
but under grace. That is true; however, we are not lawless people. The
adversary and his antichrist will be lawless.
Jesus summarized the law in two commandments: We
are to love God with all our heart, all our soul, and all our being, and to
love others as ourselves. [Mat 22:37-40] All ten commandments are fulfilled if
we faithfully keep these two.
When we warn others of impending danger, whether
they are believers or not, we are obeying the Lord by carrying out the second
commandment. Our obedience is motivated first by our love for Christ and then by
our love for others.
Ticks and Red Meat Allergy
There is a growing concern with ticks that goes beyond Lyme disease. Although that is concerning enough, tick bites have now also been linked to the Alpha-gal syndrome, which is an allergic reaction to red meat, and for some folks, dairy products as well.
The snow had melted, but it was still too cold outside for ticks (at least, that is what I thought). But apparently, some species of ticks become active even in somewhat cooler temperatures. Good to know!
After I personally observed evidence of what I believed
to be unusual tick behaviour, I decided to dig a little deeper. There was a
reason the number “33” kept showing up, and no, I am not the sort to look for signs
and wonders.
However, my Creator knows me. He knows that this
number signals me to be on the watch [watchman], to pay attention and pray for
His leading. He is ever faithful. Just as He instructed Isaiah, Yahweh does not
want us walking in fear.
The Lord did not give us a spirit of fear,
but of power, and love, and a sound mind. [2Tim1:7]
We understand that there are many conspiracies out
there, announced agendas and plans in the world today, but we really need to stay
anchored to Jesus, the Bible, prayer, and His will [plan].
That is why Jesus calls us to abide in Him and to hold
fast to faith. We are to fear only God, which is to understand and trust in His
sovereignty and providence.
Official Sites with Helpful Information
about Ticks
Now I am coming to a section that most assuredly
needs the Lord’s guidance. I have done my best to stick to trustworthy sources,
but this is where the Lord’s wisdom and knowledge, along with discernment, must
be sought through prayer.
My digging brought a bit more information from some
well-known sources, such as government sites, universities, CDC, videos, et al.
The majority warn of the blacklegged tick, known as a deer tick, which is
notorious for transmitting
Lyme disease,
Powassan virus and other infectious diseases.
• Canada
– Official government site: offers an in-depth explanation of what symptoms,
treatment, and links for the 10 provinces and 3 territories
• Ontario –
Official government site: Separate link for Canada
Health Services
• United
States – Official: CDC [Center for Disease Control and Prevention]
• United
Kingdom – Official UK site: for ticks and disease, mgmt. and prevention
• South Korea – Korea Disease
Control and Prevention Agency
• Southeast
Asia, Singapore – Ministry of Health Government site
• European
– Official agency of the European Union
Hopefully, this helps inform others with
information about bites of ticks, diseases, prevention and protective measures.
It is a global problem.
In the previous article, I had mentioned two
countries that used ticks as a biological weapon: Japan and the United States. There
are no official documents, declassified or otherwise, that prove a CIA “black
ops” unequivocally that ticks were covertly dropped on the population in Cuba.
Operation Mongoose was a secret code name for a
project in January 1962. It had to do with the release of ticks, used as a bioweapon
by the US military against Cuba and Fidel Castro. It was around the same time
as the failure of the Bay of Pigs invasion.
This was one of several conspiracy items I stumbled
across in my research about ticks. It is not the heart or core of this particle,
but if you are interested, it can be read
about here.
I first heard it mentioned on the ‘Redacted’ YouTube channel, with Clayton Morris and
his wife, Natalie. Going to @28:45 on the video at the above link, the couple share
a page from an article written by John Brhel, Binghamton University, posted Jan
6, 2026, that farmers have reported an increase in tick encounters (70 tick
encounters over a period of six months) on their farms. [screenshot is from
their video]
Then, the Lone Star tick is brought up @28.50.
They report that this tick can lower your tolerance for eating red meat if you
are bitten by one. Morris complains about how crazy it sounds that if one of
the Lone Star ticks bite you, you develop a red meat allergy.
It is @29:20 where Clayton mentions that the US
government, in declassified CIA documents, used ticks as a bioweapon to drop on
Cuba [in 2016] and other places to spread Lyme disease.
He follows up the statement by asking if an
investigation will ever be done to look into it. He states that members of Congress
have tried, but it has been stonewalled.
However, according to the Spectator (an online
news magazine), Donald Trump has signed an order into law to: “review
and report on biological weapon(s) experiments on an in relation to ticks [and]
tick-borne diseases.”
The Spectator writes: A growing body of evidence
shows that during the Cold War, ticks were tinkered with and used as delivery
mechanisms for biological warfare agents. And these weaponized ticks may have
been released both intentionally and unintentionally on an unsuspecting public
by the US military.
The article goes on to mention record numbers of
tick bites have been reported in New York (in 2024), Maine (in 2024), and Wisconsin
(in 2023). The full article is not available for public viewing unless you pay
to join them. There is a paywall. I provide a link so you can see that what I have
posted is indeed what was reported, but a heads up about the Paywall. All kinds
of websites are forcing people to become members (including the Spectator,
where this
article originates) to finish reading it.

Redacted points to a bioethicist named Matthew Liao, who is a professor in the Dept of Philosophy, and the director of NYU’s Center for Bioethics. Back in 2014, Liao stated that we could solve climate change by shrinking people down and making them averse to eating meat. He says “People eat too much meat.”
Excerpt:
Once he has shrunken us, Dr. Liao suggests giving
the tin people medications to make averse [sic] to eating meat. ”We can
artificially induce intolerance to red meat by stimulating the immune system
against common bovine proteins,” he told the BBC.
SOURCE: Grist
In 2016, at the World Economic Forum, Matthew Liao
says that:
“Possibly,
we can use human engineering to make it the case that we’re intolerant to
certain kinds of meat, to certain kinds of bovine – bovine proteins. And there
are actually analogs of this in life.
There’s this thing called the Lone Star tick,
where if it bites you, you’ll become allergic to meat. I can sort of describe
the mechanism. So that’s something that we can do through human engineering. We
can possibly address really big world problems through human engineering.” – Matthew Liao

@31:05 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmgAUdkY3yA Redacted:
Bill Gates funded research into genetically-engineered
cattle ticks. A lengthy write-u at American
Faith News. He is into plant or lab-grown meat. Then we have a tick that
brings Lyme diThis
tick is known to cause AGS, as verified by a publication in the ImmunoTargets and Therapy journal found in
the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM).sease, and now they are
pushing a Lyme disease vaccine.
Conclusion
Although I was aware of the need to be on guard
against ticks, as well as the reality of Lyme disease, I was unaware of other
diseases that can also be carried by a tick.
The reality of a meat allergy and the fact that people
are working on human engineering, genetic engineering, tissue engineering,
bioprocess design, cell culture media, and 3D cell culture platforms (the
latter four used to create lab-grown meat) reveal that man is playing God,
creating and manipulating that which is already created.
At the above link, the original article, which was
posted July 28, 2023 (almost three years ago), reports that 450,000 Americans
have ‘red meat allergies’ from Alpha-Gal Syndrome, caused by tick bites.
AGS (Alpha-Gal Syndrome), which is a tick-borne
disease, was first reported back in 2008. A grant of $1,469,352 was awarded for
research into the “Asian blue” tick. American Faith News: “ This
tick is known to cause AGS, as verified by a publication in the ImmunoTargets and Therapy journal found in
the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM).”
Whether what I presented is connected or merely a series of parallel
trends is for readers to examine for themselves. I am not suggesting that
everyone mentioned is working jointly to achieve a shared goal. Rather, my
heart desires to give you enough information for you to investigate (research)
further, draw your own conclusions, and seek the Lord for discernment and
wisdom.
Jesus said that things would be as never before
and never shall be again, and this is not even the great tribulation yet. We
are in the birth pangs; the whole earth is travailing. More can be read at: American
Faith News
I hope I have provided evidence that ticks pose a real danger and that
we need to be alert (aware), learn prevention, and discern as needed. This is
where we must pray, and seek wisdom, and trust Yahweh’s guidance.
