As we hear news of the govt. secretly allowing fentanyl into the US in huge numbers, "The Fentanyl Fast and Furious," it's worth remembering what horrors govt. officials have been willing to perpetrate in the past.
Here's the main story I did exposing the "Fast and Furious" gunwalking scandal. We know if it thanks to the heroism of Special Agent John Dodson.
Prior to Agent Dodson speaking to me on CBS national television, top govt. officials were openly lying to the media and saying these allegations were all fabricated.
Once Dodson bravely came forward, and through the subsequent months of my investigations (with Congressional subpoenas gathering more info), it became undeniable.
Ultimately, Attorney General Eric Holder was impeached.
And finally, President Obama declared executive privilege to keep us from seeing White House documents related to the scandal. They're hidden to this day.
We later learned this story was a major reason the govt. began its spy operation on me and my family, intruding into my CBS and personal computers and devices.
Nobody has been held accountable for the intrusions to this day... even though we have the irrefutable forensics, insiders who testified to the govt. nature of the intrusions, and a govt whistleblower (former agent) who admitted being part of the spy operation against me and others-- then promptly died before we could get him to testify against higher-ups.
Nobody was really held accountable for the Fast and Furious deaths and murders that happened as a result of the govt. operation, including the murder of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.
The govt. tried to fire Agent Dodson countless times, but with the help of Sen. Grassley, he survived. He should have been held up as a model for federal employees to speak up when they see crimes committed in their agencies. Instead, he had to put up with being transferred, marginalized, and smeared.
And he had to watch those responsible go on to keep working their jobs and, in some cases, get promoted.
If you ever thought the govt. would not do horrific things that kill people, this story could change your mind.
It did mine.
Protestantism is a falsehood that branched off another falsehood. It is a modern religion bearing little resemblance to the ancient Christian faith. That said, we love Protestants and pray that God removes the veil of blindness from their eyes and leads them into communion with the Body of Christ.
🚨IT’S OFFICIAL: 40 shot, 8 dead and one mass shooting with 13 shot including children over this Juneteenth weekend across Chicago.
Every victim was black. Not one shooter was white. Police Officers didn’t kill anyone either.
@ChicagosMayor & @GovPritzker are to blame.
@JoelWebbon@LostMyHats As an Orthodox Christian, I sincerely appreciated @LostMyHats words. I pray more Protestant eyes are open to the lies of dispensationalism and Zionism. ☦️
If Christ truly became man, then Christ can be depicted
If Christ can be depicted, His image can be venerated
If you reject the veneration of His image as idolatry, you are implicitly attacking the Incarnation
You are not a Christian.
Steven, the King James Bible you read was translated from the Greek Orthodox Manuscript Textus Receptus. You have the King James Bible because of the Greek Orthodox Church. Greeks gave it to you, they understand the Bible better than you ever will
Today we welcomed His Eminence Met. Myron of New Zealand. His grandfather attended our parish in Wheeling,WV in the early 1900s. Our wonderful Bishop, Met. Savas was also in attendance and gave a beautiful homily. Today’s Divine Liturgy was lit 🔥
Historically Protestant countries were among the first to become aggressively secular. The nations that once championed the Reformation are now some of the least religious societies on earth. When private interpretation becomes the norm and ecclesial authority is weakened, religion is reduced to personal preference rather than public truth. The result is a society untethered from its Christian foundations, where Christianity gives way to post Christian secularism.
"God desires our salvation & devises it in a way incomprehensible to us. Entrust yourself to the will of God, & you will find peace for your sorrowing soul & heart." - Elder Nikon of Optina
If Protestantism is true, then the Bible lied and Christianity is false:
Protestants hold to Sola Scriptura “The Bible Alone” as their sole infallible authority for matters of faith, and claim no tradition or interpretation is infallible.
If no infallible tradition or interpretation is possible, then there is no objective truth in matters of interpretation of the scripture.
If this is the case the Bible lied when it declared “The Church is the ground and pillar of truth.” (1 Timothy 3:15)
If the scripture lied, the author is a false prophet according to the standards of scripture. (Deuteronomy 18:22)
Which would disprove Christianity itself.
"Anybody who thinks he is something great, even before God, is rightly abandoned by God, as one who thinks that he does not need His help. Anybody who despises himself, on the other hand, and relies on mercy from above, wins God’s sympathy, help and grace." St. Gregory Palamas
