Is America “The Great Satan?” In the eyes of some nations, America is the great sponsor of moral corruption throughout the world. This is one reason Iran has been chanting “Death to America” since 1979.
According to Sergei A. Karaganov, honorary chairman of the Presidium of the Council on Foreign and Defense Policy, Moscow, America is the modern equivalent to Sodom and Gomorrah.
“The Americans,” he writes, “‘in defense of democracy’ and for the sake of their imperial ambitions, have killed millions in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and Iraq, committed monstrous acts of aggression against Yugoslavia and Libya, and against all warnings deliberately cast hundreds of thousands—maybe even millions—of Ukrainians into the fire of war, there is no guarantee that the threat of retaliation, even against cities, is a sufficient deterrent for the globalist oligarchy. Simply put, [American leaders] do not care even about their own citizens and will not be frightened by casualties among them.
“God struck Sodom and Gomorrah—mired in abomination and debauchery—with a rain of fire,” so why shouldn’t Russia give God a hand and strike the West with the same rain of fire?”
Karaganov is writing about God, judgment, deterrence, and about limited nuclear strikes to get the attention of the American deep state. Is America overdue for a severe Divine judgment? Does God still do that? If so, at what point in a nation’s moral decline? Might he use another nation to apply pain?
Today Scott Brown posted a lecture I gave on this subject in 2016. How God Measures National Holiness, and his response to national iniquity.

It's a public school. His boy is 11. Here's what he saw:
"To begin, the boys are treated almost as though they are defective girls. The feminine modes of interaction and socialization are treated as though they are the only legitimate modes of interaction and serve as the taken-for-granted way to properly interact and navigate the world. Almost all the authority figures at my sons school are women with almost no exceptions.
My son often comes home from school and expresses utter frustration at the fact that his preferred way of communicating, as well as the things that are aligned with his temperament are treated as though they were somehow inferior. As he is 11 (and being assessed for autism) he lacks the correct technical language to describe this, so it generally shows up as him getting in trouble for being insufficiently "gentle" and "kind" in response to various passive aggressive power plays and instances of bullying carried out by his more socially developed (often) female peers....
Monogamy isn’t cultural preference; it’s creational norm. Polygamy might appear in chaos, but it always deepens the chaos.
God’s design is simple and enduring: one man, one woman, one covenant… strong enough to build households that stand and kingdoms that last.
Polygamy offers no solution for modern America. We aren’t a nation of widows or war-torn refugees. There are sufficient men for women, and women for men. There’s no social necessity behind this new fascination with multiple wives. What we’re seeing is moral decay baptized in Christianese.
The men pushing it aren’t rescuing anyone. They’re indulging appetites trained by pornography and self-gratification. They’ve learned to crave novelty and call it freedom. The idea of chastity, loyalty, and lifelong devotion feels foreign to them, so instead of repentance they rename their lust “biblical.” They quote Abraham and Jacob but ignore the misery polygamy brought into those men’s homes.
It isn’t biblical ...
Dr. Robert Redfield was CDC director from March 26, 2018, to January 20, 2021. A few days ago, his memoir about his adventures in public health—Redfield’s Warning: What I Learned (But Couldn’t Tell You) Might Save Your Life—was published.
Some of the subjects covered:
U.S. government agencies and U.S. biotechnology are largely responsible for creating SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19
US agencies—especially Dr. Anthony Fauci and his virology pals—then perpetrated the most massive cover-up in criminal history.
The currently circulating strain of H5N1 bird flu, which is now infecting a wide range of mammals, may also be the product of Gain-of-Function research.
The current strain of H5N1 could be further modified in a lab to make it transmit efficiently among humans. This modified pathogen could be released on a farm with animals already infected with H5N1 to create the illusion that it evolved naturally to jump to humans.
