show most of it openly
A few months back, passing through downtown Battle Creek, I caught sight of, to my eyes, the most uncomely piece of metallic sculpture I’ve ever seen. I’ll admit on my 0 to 10 scale of things to appreciate, even classical sculpture might not get all the way to 8, so I might be missing something about the whole concept of modern sculpture as art but I’m going on record here that after I saw that montage of monitory metal and was ruminating over it later, it came to mind that if all those children, bless their hearts, who were allowed to destroy statues that linked US to any segment of our past because said statuary allegedly offended their sensibilities, youth of such sensibilities should avoid the intersection of Capital and Michigan Ave in Battle Creek.
Then a few weeks later, I was reading my KJV Archeological Study Bible, Mathew chapter 8, when the subject of the Cultural and Historical notes on page 1337, Demons and the Bible, presented itself. There was a lot of information about demons on that one page; demons in the New Testament, demons in the Old Testament and demons in Nonbiblical Jewish literature; but the one that grabbed my attention was demons in the Ancient Near East because in that category there was described one of the feared demons of Neo-Assyrian times, the lion-headed female figure Lamash-tu, who was thought especially to attack pregnant women and babies.
A lion-headed female figure, huh? You mean like this?
Was Terminal, not included in the original origami lineup and sticking out like a sore thumb amongst the traditional origami pieces that it isn’t, a last minute message of defiance in this rising tide of violence against God’s Word?
Is Battle Creek, under the cover of origami, participating openly in a hidden deception, still paying homage to an ancient religion by travelling the broken road that leads straight to perdition?
Isn’t it fitting that the sculpture is catty corner to the Kellogg Foundation building ?
Mathew 24:24 records Jesus warning, “For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.”
While saved Christians draw much comfort from our relationship with Christ, we cannot allow ourselves to continue doing only the same things or thinking the same way we did as children trusting in Christ. We are not supposed to be ignorant of Satan’s devices or his plans that are made more obvious every day.
Most of us believe we grew up in simpler times. The devil’s snares were well known to all. I now think of those simpler times as the calm before the storm because it was during those times of the everyman’s relatively simple view of life that Satan was advancing progressive influences in science, government and the Church.
Examples would include the Second Vatican Council, convened in an effort to modernize the Catholic Church, instead lead to the formation of dissident organizations. They used the council’s broad conclusions to promote numerous social agendas, including open borders that eventually led to the corruption of the current RC organization and chaos wherever its influence was felt throughout the world.
The spillover effect of the Second Vatican Council reverberated through every level of the Christian community.
The peak Progressive era required velvet gloves to cover the iron fists guiding the approaching days of darkness…
National governments began adjusting their post-WWII institutionalized mindset within the U N based on the groundwork put in place during the decade that many people had more pressing war related matters on their minds; in the meantime, the intent to maintain the ruling class power was made as clear as necessary in Rule 33, the UN’s official implementation of the ‘Some Animals Are More Equal than Others’ rule:
The General Assembly resolves that: (a) the following sentence shall be added at the end of rule 33: “…it shall not, however, decide any political question.” ( b) a new rule 33A shall be included after this rule,· ·” follows: “A Member of the General Assembly which has no representative on the General Committee, and which has requested the inclusion of an additional item in the agenda, shall be entitled to attend any meeting of the General Committee at which its request is discussed, and may participate, without vote, in the discussion of that item.”
Apparently, the lesser members of the UN saw the wisdom in Act 33 and mostly bided their time until other greater, https://www.population-security.org/rockefeller/001_population_growth_and_the_american_future.htm meaningful measures were in place and sowing the seeds of our destruction.
Changes in the field of science include, as a recent issue of https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2795635 makes plain, a pathway to the denigration of the standards of science research.
The integrity of the grant application process is important to the success of the entire research enterprise and as the follow up article in https://www.the-scientist.com/news-opinion/major-groundbreaking-increase-in-hype-in-grant-applications-70436? points out,
The study didn’t examine potential motives for increasing hype, but the team writes that the NIH’s emphasis on impact, significance, and innovation likely puts pressure on scientists to play up those aspects of their work given the competition they face for funding and its importance in garnering academic appointments and tenure. “Under these circumstances, applicants may feel compelled to echo certain terms from agency guidance,” they write…
Reliance on such accepted hype could or would be reason for the controllers to create a nuanced explanation to share the workings of modern, changing science especially for the emerging ‘woke’ as they graduated from their university with an acquired sense of righteousness but little skill for the critical thinking required to help gain a basic understanding of something practical say, the immune system.

While there is a growing recognition of the value and urgency of inclusive approaches, there is little documented knowledge about the potential catalysts and barriers for this work. Without documentation, synthesis, and critical reflection, the movement cannot proceed as quickly as is warranted…
…What are the key traits of inclusive science communication?
Inclusive science communication is fundamentally characterized by three key traits that must exist concurrently. While each trait is essential, any one of them alone is insufficient, and they are all linked by a common focus on equitable relationships.
- Intentionality (e.g., regarding the audience, how “science” is defined, and how marginalized identities are, and have been, represented and supported)
- Reciprocity (e.g., interactions between science communicators and audiences address past and present inequities through equal partnerships marked by co-creation and recognition of assets and varied forms of expertise)
- Reflexivity (e.g., a continuous, critical, and systematic reflection on the communicators’ and audiences’ personal identities, practices, and outcomes, followed by adaptation as needed to redress inequitable interactions)
