Broken civilizations get rebuilt at the local community level as families, businesses, churches and small civil governments begin to learn what those local institutions can be. That is happening right now in the US, primarily in rural counties.

We explore real-life reformation here in this informed, online community.

US Marines v. Demons

The demons won.

Too few Marines [in the Haitian occupation of the 1920s] appreciated the religious and cultural factors at play in Haiti, such as—most notably for purposes of this article—the practice of Voodoo. To read Brigadier General John H. Russell’s evaluations during his tenure as high commissioner in the 1920s, Haiti went from a nation where “Vaudoism was rife and Human sacrifice was not uncommon” to a nation that benefited from “the introduction of the tenets of modern civilization” that “has done much to stamp out this Horrible Practice.”

Reality proved to be different, however. The Marines failed to suppress Voodoo; instead, they alienated many otherwise dis- passionate Haitians. The Marines rarely grasped how or why this religion was so central to Haitian life. Such confusions in turn restricted and ultimately negated the occupation’s effectiveness in achieving the mission of modernizing and democratizing the nation.

Quotes from Charlie Kirk

"The resurrection is the pinpoint of my belief that Jesus did rise from the grave so that we may live."

"I worship a God that defeats evil... And we worship a God that wins in the end."

"Faith, quite honestly, is the true mark of a Christian life."

"The Bible is not up to date. It’s ahead of time."

Unite the Word You Hear With Faith (Hebrews 4:2)

“A man may be as poor as Lazarus, as hated as Mordecai, as sick as Hezekiah, as lonely as Elijah, but while his hand of faith can keep its hold on God, none of his outward afflictions can prevent his being numbered among the blessed.”

Charles Spurgeon

Be sure to floss...

...after eating that hamburger infected with the mRNA vaccines forced on the cattle herd.

And make sure you use the new secret mRNA floss.

From the publication Nature Biomedical Engineering:

“Flossing may be good for more than getting your dentist off your back—one day, it may also protect you from the flu. In an unorthodox approach to needle-free vaccines, researchers have developed a special kind of floss that can deliver proteins and inactive viruses to...gumlines and trigger immune responses that protect against infectious disease."
