Suicide is never voluntary. It is an involuntary response ........

Suicide is never voluntary. It is an involuntary response to an impossible situation.
Some people call the imposition of sanctions on Russia, suicide for the West. It is not. It is murder.
Those that impose the sanctions, not the puppets, politicians for the most part, are not affected by them. They will still heat their homes. They will still eat caviar and drink fine champagne. They will still gloat and laugh at the people they think are below them because they are materially lacking in comparison to them. And they will murder them.
Sanctions are murder. That is the reason they are imposed. They have no other purpose. The fact that this backfires is known and is inconsequential to the sanctioning class.
We are living in a modern Dickensian nightmare. In many ways much worse than in Dickens time.
History taught the Great British Empire, American exceptional empire, but literature taught the reality. Dickens “Great Expectations”, Steinbeck’s  “The Grapes of Wrath”.
The two contrasting themes were separated in the students minds as if they were two different historical periods, by being taught in two separate disciplines. They were not.  They were the same period. This is a stark example of mind control.
This need by society for a leader, which more often than not leads to enslavement is the product of unbelief in God, the cause of which is up for debate.
God satisfies that need for a leader for those that seek him and those that seek him will find him.
It was always meant to be so.
The ancient Israelites when they demanded to be like other nations and have a king they were warned by God that they did not need one. He was their King, and that a king would eventually lead to enslavement and poverty to support that power structure, but they insisted, so God gave them a king.
Samuel I think it was, the first king of Israel. Thus their focus was directed away from God whose first commandment was “I am the Lord thy God, thou shalt have no strange gods before me.”
They would have otherwise  existed as a kind of pure democracy and kept their wealth, the wealth of their toil, but it was not to be.
The moment we put God, as a nation at the forefront of our lives, the moment the beast falls.
The moment we don’t, the moment the beast rises.
Regardless of this God protects his own, no matter the number, no matter how great, no matter how few.
