Above painting – “The Course of Empire: Destruction” (1836) by Thomas Cole

LOOKING OUT OVER THE WORLD and its especially crazy development during the last half century or more, one would be forgiven for believing that there is some kind of conspiracy afoot to unravel wholesome society and undermine whatever is left that is good and great about any major culture. Increasingly, one finds that social mores are being pushed into outlandish zones which, just a few decades earlier, would have been considered a curse in any healthy society. I’m not speaking here about the regular way that things naturally change, evolve, progress and develop in any society over time. I’m referring to lines being crossed into a level of debauchery, amorality and despotism — coupled with denial and the unhealthy suppression of healthy dissidence — that is usually only displayed during the last desperate days of a falling empire.

So I am here, in this little piece, mapping out a falling empire. We are now witnessing the slow suicide of a pseudo-civilisation doomed to destruction. I don’t mean many centuries from now. I mean most likely within the next decades, maybe even within the next decade itself. As far as I am concerned, that demise cannot come quickly enough. Let’s get it over with! Let this corrupt and destructive, uncivilised ‘civilisation’ come to its climax of brutality and psychopathy, so that God will finally intervene and make something new and wonderful rise phoenixlike from the ashes in a new creation. Actually, the course on which this civilisation is set will quite naturally bring about its own demise by encouraging evil to reach the summit of its infection, thus leaving itself wide open to righteous judgement. In the midst of a “multiplication of wickedness” and “the love of most growing cold”, as prophesied by Jesus Himself (Matthew 24:12), the “whole creation” is anthropomorphically “groaning” for this Divinely ordained judgement to occur (Romans 8:19,22), so that a new aeon of existence can be brought into being in a new heaven and new earth.

Absurdly, some of the things that I am going to be writing about further below, under today’s twisted “hate-crime” laws (lauded by people who actually hate God!), would be deemed to be “hateful” and could warrant one’s arraignment, despite the fact that I am an ardent advocate of love and peace and there is not a hateful atom in my being. That this should be the case bears witness to the suppression of free speech and the growth of a censorship which should have no place in an intelligent and enlightened society wherein anything can be discussed in a civilised manner between mature, freedom-loving people.

Increasingly today, obvious emotional/personality disorders are being “normalised” and even lauded as exemplary ways of life so that sanity can be stigmatised and logic sanitised. If some disturbed individual chooses to take offence at someone’s truthful ideas put out there for honest discussion and not to stir up hate, in an increasing number of societies the truthteller could get a 6am ‘knock on the door’ from some authorities. (It hasn’t yet quite reached the ‘3 o’clock knock’ associated with fascist dictatorship societies!). That viewpoints different to the currently proffered “norm” should be outlawed in this way is a disgrace to any civilised society which prides itself on freedom of thought and genuine intellectual development. This is why, in authoritarian societies, when a dictator takes the stage, the first element of society to be subjected to censorship and even incarceration is the intelligentsia. After that it is the artists, writers and others who do not think down conformist tramlines. There will also come the day when those who are genuine followers of the true Christ will come into the crosshairs (literally!), after the ascendancy of one who will think that he alone is ‘Christed’. You all know exactly who I mean.

We are now on the brink of such suppression. Civilised discussion and reasoned debate have already been deemed as unacceptable in areas where someone could possibly be offended. Everywhere, people are being dumbed-down through social media, entertainment and the limited debate being tolerated. Increasing restriction through authoritarian control rather than the free expansion of the mind is the order of the day. A revealing recent example of this would be the way that Facebook (what I call “Fakebook”) has increasingly suppressed videos of any decent length and has even renamed them as “reels”, many of which are just a few seconds long! Even the preferred size is being put upon users — 9:16 being the increasing norm. But a man with a guitar and its neck and headstock fit much better into ‘letterbox’ 16:9 rather than ‘strip-show peephole’ 9:16, where there is limited information and only really works for a talking head, which on social media usually means the communication of drivel! I even received personal ‘advice’ from Meta (the owner of Facebook) that the reason I get so few views for my posts is because I am not conforming my music videos to this new 9:16 norm!

Overall, dumbing-down — which I first observed as official policy some forty years ago — is well under way now, for such a development in society is always exponential. [See these two articles I have written on this subject: https://diakrisis-project.com/2024/06/22/the-politics-of-stupefaction-how-the-human-mind-has-been-progressively-dumbed-down-to-become-the-absorbent-undiscerning-jello-that-it-is-today/ and https://diakrisis-project.com/2023/04/01/teach-me-your-way-o-lord-the-demise-of-didacticism/ ]. I pity anyone bringing up children at this point in history. The “ThoughtCrime” scenario in George Orwell’s prophetic work, “1984”, is already coming to pass. One can even be arrested these days for praying silently near an abortion clinic. If that is not a fulfilment of Orwellian ThoughtCrime, then I don’t know what is!

I am here trying to pull some history out of the memory-hole and inject the cleansing sanity of Truth. It is not meant to incite but to instruct. It is not meant to tear down but to construct. It is not meant to snipe but to shake up. So let’s start by looking at the craze for branding with the suffix, “-phobia”, any way of thinking which differs from the agenda of pseudo-liberal social propagandists today. This is a very good place to begin, for it introduces us to the skilful methodology which is used to normalise perverse sexuality and religious fanaticism at this point in history. It is now taken for granted that words like “homophobia”, “transphobia” and “islamophobia” are genuine words with meaning. In fact, they are meaningless tools of slanderous propaganda which enable the perverting agents of change to calumnize with a false label those who think differently. Classic authoritarian behaviour — verbal fascism, in fact.

I wonder how many people today actually know what a phobia is? It is especially necessary to know what a word means before using it in one’s vocabulary; otherwise one is merely displaying one’s ignorance and sounding like a squawking parrot. Here is a definition: “A phobia is a deep-seated fear, often accompanied by a panic attack, which seriously incapacitates the one experiencing that fear”. For example, someone with arachnophobia is terribly afraid of spiders to the extent of avoiding being in the same room as one. An arachnophobe breaks out in a sweat at even the thought of a spider. Someone with claustrophobia is awfully afraid of confined spaces to the extent that they will go to great lengths to avoid finding themselves in such a situation. Similarly, someone with agoraphobia is horrendously afraid of wide-open spaces and will do anything to avoid that situation. Someone with coulrophobia is overwhelmingly frightened of clowns (but let’s face it, clowns can be scary!). Someone with zoophobia is irrationally fearful of animals. People who are arachnophobic, claustrophobic, agoraphobic, coulrophobic or zoophobic are terrified of the object of their fear, often to the extent that they feel as if they will die if confronted with it. Their phobias give them a feeling of doom.

In view of the information in the above paragraph, why would, for example, someone who sincerely believes, for spiritual reasons (yet without animosity and with great compassion), that homosexuality is unnatural and in desecration of God’s law, be described as a “homophobe”? Why would someone who merely thinks, for spiritual reasons (yet without animosity and with great compassion), that to attempt to change one’s gender (especially inculcating a minor to do so) is unnatural and flying in the face of God’s gift of gender, be described as “transphobic”? Why would someone who quietly believes, for spiritual reasons (yet without animosity and with great compassion), that the Islamic religion is not exclusively a “religion of peace” be described as “Islamophobic”? It is perfectly possible to find homosexuality unnatural yet not only be wholly unafraid of homosexuals but even peacefully have them as neighbours, acquaintances or colleagues. One may disapprove of today’s trendy transgenderism yet still have compassion for those who have that disorder (or who have it foisted upon them) and be completely unafraid of them. One may believe that Islam is not exclusively a religion of peace yet still have no fear whatsoever of Muslims and would do anything for any Muslim in difficulty as an act of love. Having a different view is not a crime or an act of hate. Neither does it mean that one is ‘phobic’ of the thing about which one has a differing view to others. It is simply a state of mind reached through mature reasoning.

It is quite clear that to call someone “homophobic”, “transphobic” or “Islamophobic” is a form of calumny — a method by which the person can be blacklisted and smeared with a false title — a form of misrepresentation and vilification in order to control those who do not agree with their stance. I call that “Strategic Straw-Man Labelling”. Engaging in “Straw-Man” strategy is defined as:

“A common logical fallacy where someone misrepresents, exaggerates, or fabricates an opponent’s argument to make it easier to attack. Instead of engaging with the actual, more complex argument, they defeat a weak ‘straw man’ version, creating the illusion of having won the debate”.

Thus, by labelling a perceived opponent’s viewpoint as a “phobia” (when it most definitely is not), one has reduced that opponent’s presentation to a mere acute fear when that is not the case at all. But if a lie is repeated often enough in this mendacious world, it starts to take on the mantle of a fact for those whose ability to form opinions or understandings is easily limited by manipulation.

The same kind of “Strategic Straw-Man Labelling” is used in the Christian scene, for example, to label someone as being into so-called “Replacement Theology” if they believe that the Ekklesia of Christ is God’s people in the New Covenant and that the Old Covenant with Israel has been superseded by that. When people do not really have a valid logical rationale for their beliefs, they generally resort to the strategy of using straw-man labels to calumniate their perceived enemies. Such similar distortion is used by feminists, who — if a man quietly and reasonably states that he doesn’t agree with feminism — smear him by claiming that he is “threatened by strong, independent women” or is “in collusion with the patriarchy”, or is “misogynistic” (another completely misused word). People now use the words “homophobic”, “transphobic” or “Islamophobic” without having any real understanding of what they truly mean. People who don’t follow the party-line (official narrative) on homosexuality, transgenderism or Islam do not do so because they are acutely afraid of those things but because they have the courage to think for themselves! Mature people can differ in their viewpoints without suffering from apoplexy. This is because they are the true liberals rather than the pseudo-liberals of today. It is ironic that the very people who make such a fuss about the need for freedom, democracy and diversity of belief and ideas should develop a blind spot when it comes to those who disagree with their pseudo-liberal ideas about certain societal developments. It would seem that for them, diversity of belief and ideas is only acceptable when those beliefs and ideas tally with their own. That is not diversity; it is the road to fascism and is downright hypocrisy!

{Sidebar: Even the trendy use of the word “diversity” today is a lie. One does not generate diversity by importing huge numbers of people from other less-developed countries into one place, thus creating melting-pot ghettos with huge social and criminal problems rather than culturally-diverse ‘communities’. True diversity in this world lies in the fact that many different cultures exist in many overseas countries, which one can choose to visit or not. Artificially-created mass-immigration-based “diversity” is just a social experiment that has surely been designed by the power-elite to corrupt, vandalise and demoralise developed countries which have a history and tradition that is based originally on Christian values}.

The unmasked truth about pseudo-liberals is this: They don’t really care about anything or anyone except themselves and their own sensitivities. They have no real concern for social justice — as evidenced by the highly selective nature of their professed concerns. They only virtue-signal their bleeding hearts when people they hate do what they think are bad things. They will keep totally quiet while their fellow pseudo-liberals are doing the same things that they condemn in their enemies. These are proven facts that they will never admit. If you try and discuss this with them, gently showing them the illogical nature of their ideas and actions, they will switch the subject or become exceedingly angry. When I’m dealing with pseudo-liberals, I usually feel a great sense of compassion for them as they are plainly deeply emotionally disturbed and have taken on the “caring” mantle of pseudo-liberalism and social justice to protect themselves from some kind of inner pain or struggle. Liberalism today is not a political position; it has become a psychological condition!

I always want to say to pseudo-liberals: “It’s okay. You’re safe with me. You can take off your burden and unload your heart here”. But their wall of defence means that the chances of them recognising their affliction is virtually nil. They will always shift the attention off themselves by blaming others. Pseudo-liberals excel at blaming others and then playing the victim. They are professional victims. In spite of recognising the tragic damage which they have deeply buried within themselves, I have to say that they are out-and-out hypocrites who are a dark stain in the envelope of the earth. A pseudo-liberal is at least as dangerous as a psychopath because, like the psychopath, the pseudo-liberal wears a disguise to hide its malice — the disguise of virtue-signalling that one is a social justice warrior, and it is a lie.

In many ways, all this has been socially engineered over the course of the last few decades by the power-elite using pseudo-liberals to achieve their social aims. It forms part of their strategy to generate chaos, insecurity, fear, and destabilisation. A demoralized people suffering from cognitive dissonance is one which will be very easy to dominate and tyrannize. When darkness reigns then the people will seek shelter from any source. They will then conclude that only their corrupt government can provide the kind of security they think they need. Like Winston in Orwell’s “1984”, they will finally “love Big Brother” (actually, they already do but their cognitive dissonance hasn’t let them realise it yet!). This is a foreshadowing of the darkness and deception which is coming to prevail over the earth — yet with such hideous duplicity that the people will think that evil is good and the darkness is the light and they will even rejoice in that.

All this has happened in the cause of ensuring that sodomy, gender-bending and false religion are not only regarded as natural and wholesome but also that they should take centre-stage in societal life as laudable and admirable ways of being, worthy of applause. Certain dark forces with big money behind them have been driving this agenda for many years and it is now coming to fruition. In many societies, it is even proposed to make it a punishable crime to utter any potentially-offensive comments about homosexuality, transgenderism or Islam. What kind of society are we creating if someone who claims to be offended by another person’s views can then determine that the commission of such offence is an infringement of the law? Although, let it be said that if a so-called “straight” person was to claim that they are offended by the words of a homosexual about the inferiority of “straightism”, as I have heard said on many occasions, no legal action would be taken. Similarly, if a Muslim was to publish some severe remarks about Christianity and its adherents, they would be rabidly defended and protected against any criticism or threats of legal action. What kind of society are we creating if even the most mild-mannered attempt to debate the issues, or casual statement at a party, could be met with the threat of arrest. Not only does this strike at the very heart of freedom but it also covers up the creeping cancer of debauchery, perversion and cultural terrorism which form part of the machinations of the power-elite to pollute society with darkness and thereby generate chaos and disorder.

Here is my take: What grown-up people get up to in the privacy of their own bedrooms, or what wacko gender (of the apparently 74 genders available!) they imagine themselves to be in a fantasy, or what false prophet they choose to believe in is their own business and they are answerable only to the one, true God about it, not to me or to anyone else. But when they try to normalise their behaviour, get utterly bent out of shape if someone personally does not share their ideas, and even try to outlaw differing views, then we know that we are dealing with sin-based personality disorders rather than mere aberrations of character.

It has been said that the idea of a hatecrime suppresses rights rather than enhancing them because it “elevates the eccentric sensitivities of one individual over the rights of everyone else”. Indeed. (Though there is a major sense in which the idea of “inalienable human rights” in a fallen world is just a myth anyway). The phrase, “eccentric sensitivities”, is really — in many cases — a euphemism for “sin-based personality disorder”. Increasingly today, as stated earlier, obvious emotional/personality disorders are being “normalised” so that sanity can be stigmatised and logic sanitised. If some disturbed and easily-triggered individual decides to take offence at someone’s truthful ideas put out there for honest discussion with no hate involved, should the truthteller be arrested for breaking the law? That would be insanity! Such neo-Stalinism is anathema to any civilised society. Yet here it is, being proposed right in the midst of so-called “free and democratic” countries. That people should be free to indulge their “eccentricities” in the privacy of their own homes is fine by me (provided it does not involve any kind of coercion, indoctrination or grooming of minors), and I most definitely abhor any kind of violence against anyone. But to then foist those “eccentricities” on the world as being exemplary and even desirable (even preferable to “normality”) — while stifling any discussion about it — is disingenuous, to say the least. Neither would I seek to suppress anyone’s choice of religion; that is between them and the one true God, provided they are not using that religion as a mask for rabid hate or violent intentions.

However, none of this is happening by chance. The true and sacred aspects of masculine and feminine are being displaced by parody and dilution so as to be rendered ineffectual and to pave the way for the breakdown of society and global chaos alongside all the state-manipulated false-flag terrorism to keep people dependent, while the religious diversity of an ignorant world is being promoted over the unique spiritual truth of Christ (John 10:9; 14:6; Acts 4:12; Philippians 2:9-11; Ephesians 1:20-21; 1 Timothy 2:5).

So sit back and watch the show develop, act by act. It cannot be humanly-prevented and must run its natural course until… until… well, you know what. For the day will come when the satanic revolt against nature and Divine law, having come to its hideous climax, will be overthrown by supernatural powers that most could not even begin to comprehend!
