For those keeping 7th Day Sabbath (aka Shabbat), which is sundown Friday through sundown Saturday, here are the scripture readings this week. It's never a bad thing to read the Bible for yourself, so even if you don't keep 7th Day, you may benefit from reading along with us. 

Suggested Bible Readings:

Deuteronomy 3:23 - 7:11

Isaiah 40:1-26

Luke 3:2-15

A Good Sermon:

If you want to watch an interesting sermon, here is a link to one from Paster Joe Fox from a few years ago. Excellent, especially if you are any sort of prepper, survivalist, or just concerned about the downfall of America and the West.

Getting Away From The Worldly Economy

By Tim Gamble

Join the Resistance! Subscribe by email (click this link) 

In an attempt to take my own advice and get out of the worldly economic system, I am trying to get away from reliance on huge multinational corporations and woke companies, such as Amazon.  As you are probably aware, my websites have been Amazon affiliates for at least a decade now, and that affiliation drives much of my websites' revenue. Not a good situation. That is changing. In the coming weeks, I will be announcing a number of new affiliations with smaller, non-woke, American-owned companies. This transition away from reliance on Amazon will take several months, but is filled with exciting opportunities. 

Let's rebuild American manufacturing together by supporting American small businesses!

Announcement: Refuge Medical Affiliation

TimGamble.com (and Dystopian Survival) is now an affiliate of Refuge Medical and Refuge Training. Refuge Medical is a family-owned business, based out of Oklahoma, which designs and manufactures high quality, American made, first aid kits and supplies for military, law enforcement, EMS, firefighters, and civilians. The kits are made in America and guaranteed for life. A 10% Discount Code will automatically be applied at checkout when you visit their website using links from my websites.

Note: The majority of my articles have nothing to do with religion, but I do occasionally post "religious" content. I know some folks don't like any religious content whatsoever. If this is you, simply skip the religious articles. It is that simple. 🙂

I'm a little late with it this week, but I've decided to start posting on Friday evenings some material related to the 7th Day Sabbath (aka Shabbat), which is sundown Friday through sundown Saturday. 

Suggested Bible Readings:

Deuteronomy 1:1 - 3:22

Isaiah 1:1 - 27

Matthew 24:1 - 22

R-34 Spotting Federal Agents & Other Infiltrators

Resistance 34

I've written about this topic before, but it vitally important in today's reality. If you are planning on attending any form of protest or rally, or are part of any formal or informal group which might be considered as conservative, libertarian, Christian, populist, nationalist, or right-wing, you need to know the following information.

The Left is more than willing to infiltrate patriot groups, rallies, and protests protests to spy, to instigate, and even to attempt false flag events in order to disrupt and discredit patriots. They use not only Leftist activists (Antifa, BLM, various anarchists, and even SJWs), but also Federal agents (FBI, ATF, etc.) to do so. This has become standard operating procedure for them. 

Peaceful, non-violent protests are a 100% legal and morally acceptable way to raise awareness of issues and attempt to influence the political process. They are also protected by the first amendment rights of Free Speech and Free Assembly. 

This fact is accepted by the media, politicians, and law enforcement when it is the Left protesting (even when those protests do include looting, rioting, and burning entire city blocks). But whenever the Right does it (without the looting, rioting, and burning), protests are suddenly unacceptable and must be stopped at all costs - even if it means instigating situations or even creating false flags to shut down conservative protests, and clamp down on our freedoms. 

Here are a few quick tips to spotting a potential infiltrator:

• The unknown person who shows up at the protest unannounced, acting as if they are a long-standing supporter of the group/movement. Yet no one knows them.
• The unknown person who wears a mask, won't show any ID, and obviously is trying to avoid having their picture taken.
• The person who says all the right things to make it seem they are part of the group, but also seems to be trying hard to "push the buttons" of the group or individuals to get other people to do or say something violent or racist. 
• The person that shows up with a sign that is racist or threatening, or that is otherwise off-message for the protest. 
• The person who tries to get the group to suddenly change plans and to do something or go somewhere that was not already planned. Stick to your preplanned agenda. 
• The person who gets overly-emotional or uses over-the-top rhetoric, especially if they seem to be trying to get others to follow their lead. 
• The person who advocates violence or illegal activity. 

What to do if you think someone is an infiltrator?

• Peacefully confront them about their behavior, signs, language, etc.
• Ask them to remove their mask. 
• Ask them to identify themselves, and to show ID.
• Notify event leaders and organizers of a potential problem.
• Let other protestors know of the potential infiltrator.
• Take photos of them, especially photos without their face hidden.
• Take videos of their actions. 
• Denounce them, their language, and their actions. 
• Always be polite, but firm.
• Do not act violently towards them or make threats of violence against them. 

Most importantly, don't let them influence the group. Stick to your pre-planned activities. Don't go along with their ideas, rhetoric or theatrics. 

Is a new member wanting to join your group? Great. We need to expand our numbers to be effective. But don't be too trusting or too desperate for new members that you don't do your due diligence. Treat their potential membership as a job interview. Ask questions. Get to know them. Trust your gut. Let them know up front that your group is a peaceful group, and that you won't tolerate violence, threats of violence, or other illegal activities. Again, be extremely wary of anyone who gets overly-emotional or uses over-the-top rhetoric, particularly if they seem to be trying to push the buttons of other group members. 

Remember: Keep calm. Always stay peaceful. Never make threats.

R-33 The Greater Good (A False Idea)

Resistance 33

By Tim Gamble

Join the Resistance! Subscribe by email (click this link)

Do you belong to yourself? Or do you belong to the State? Are you meant to be an individual? Or are you meant to serve the "collective good?"

Do your children belong to you? Or do your children belong to the State? Is it your responsibility to raise your children? Or is it the responsibility of the larger society (as Hillary calls it, thee "village")? 

Are we meant to be individuals, accountable to our God? Or, are we meant to be merely another "cog in the machine," serving only the "greater good" (which means the system, and ultimately the Elites which created the system, since they decide what the "greater good" is)?

The Elites believe in "collectivism" (for us, not them) - that we exist to serve the system. The system meaning the structures of  politics and economy (power and wealth). The system created and controlled by them for their benefit. 

The Elites believe we should have no Rights, save those they grant us through the State. They believe those Rights, including the Right to our very Life, can be revoked by them at any time for any reason. In their eyes, we all nothing more than cogs in the machine of their creation. Cogs that are easily replaced.

This is what irks them so greatly about the Founding Documents of the USA. Those documents state the reverse of what the Elite believe. The United States was founded on the idea of Individual Liberties - irrevocable (unalienable) Rights granted to us by God, over which the State, and ultimately the Elite, have no control. 

It is why the Elite and their lackeys so often bemoan and disparage the Constitution. It is why Barack Obama says "the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties, says what the states can’t do to you. Says what the federal government can’t do to you." 

Our Founding Principles are pro-individual and anti-collective at their very core. Yet so many people, especially over the last couple of decades, are falling for the concept of the "greater good" or the "collective good."  But who defines "good?" Is it actually good for all, or just good for those who benefit from it? We are not supposed to ask those questions - and most folks don't. 

[Also heck out the article I posted today on the Dystopian Survival website, Our Dystopian World and the Bill of Rights, which covers this same topic from a slightly different angle.]

R-32 Learned Helplessness

Resistance 32

I wrote the following article last year, but want it to be part of my Resistance series also, so I'm reprinting it now. Even if you read it last year, please re-read this short article as it discusses a very important concept. 

Learned Helplessness

Think back to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Remember the images of all those people standing around in knee-deep water waiting for the government or someone else to help them? They had several days warning that a major hurricane was on the way, yet they did nothing. Even after Katrina hit, flooding large sections of the city and collapsing its infrastructure, they did nothing to get themselves out of the situation. Instead they stood around in knee-deep water until authorities were able to round them up and ship them to the horrible and dangerous conditions of the Superdome. It was a truly stunning display of passivity in the face of adversity and danger. 

There is an actual term for this passivity. It is called "learned helplessness," a behavioral term for when an organism (animal or human) has been taught through external stimuli to NOT help themselves, but to depend on outside factors. In the case of those people in New Orleans, generations of public education and government dependence left much of the population unable or unwilling to help themselves. For most, it didn't even occur to them to try to get out of that situation on their own. And, if it did, they simply didn't know how to even start to help themselves.

Interestingly, the term "learned helplessness" appears in CIA manuals declassified in 1996 and 1997. The CIA defines learned helplessness as a type of instilled "apathy" which it is very difficult or even impossible to overcome.

Unlearning learned helplessness is difficult, but can be done if one is motivated to do so. Stop blinding trusting government, authorities, and experts (article, article). Learn to be self-reliant (article). Take responsibility for your own life. Learn DIY skills. Learn Situational Awareness (article) and Sociopolitical  Awareness (article). 

The single most important thing you can do to survive future chaos is to start taking responsibility for your own life now.

7/8/2023 - Bible Verses To Think About...

By Tim Gamble

Join the Resistance! Subscribe by email (click this link)

Here are some verses from the Bible for you to think about this weekend, as you stay away from "woke" churches and their unbiblical teachings. I do recommend looking these verses up in your Bible and reading them in context. Context matters. What translation of the Bible should you use? For now, it doesn't matter - the Bible wasn't written in English, and there is no "perfect" translation. The following verses happen to be from the NKJV.

If you want to hear a brief teaching on these verses (about 8 minutes), check out this YouTube video by Billy H. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQ6cc2p0wc8

7/8/2023 - Bible Verses To Think About...

Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. - 1 John 3:4

If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you do well; but if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors. For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all. For He who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery, but you do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. So speak and so do as those who will be judged by the law of liberty. - James 2:8-12

What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? - Romans 6:1,2

For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace. From Slaves of Sin to Slaves of God. What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not! - Romans 6:14,15

[Jesus Speaking] Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. - Matthew 5:19,20 

Again, If you want to hear a brief teaching on these verses (about 8 minutes), check out this YouTube video by Billy H. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQ6cc2p0wc8

The bottom line is this: We do need Grace, but Grace should never be used as an excuse to sin. We are still expected to keep God's laws, in letter and in spirit. But when we fail, and we will, we have Grace to save us.
