Financial writer John Kim, was someone I do not normally read, being an off-grid type, into self-sufficiency. Yet James sent me this one to comment on. While there is financial advice I do not understand, there was some home-spun philosophy I liked. Kim observes, and rightly too, that we are in an age of weakness, physically and spiritually. The Left are equating physical fitness with Right wing extremism, no doubt to get the Palov dog knee jerk response, as a lot of brainwashing effort has gone into this one since the end of World War II.
The physical and socio-political weakness that have allowed evil to flourish arise ultimately from a spiritual weakness, a turning away from God in embracing secular materialism. But, for those who are out of the system, or opposing it, the core strength will be to retain spiritual strength. As Kim says: “Everywhere we look today, in education, health care, State politics, finance, the military industrial complex, forces that wish to spawn chaos and destruction upon humanity have clawed their way to the top. If we don’t believe in the physics maxim that every action has an opposite and equal reaction, then we would have zero faith that a Higher Power of Good exists to combat all the depravity and weakness that surrounds us today. And if this were the case, the spreading darkness in our world would quickly extinguish the flame of optimism. If this were the case, I would not continue fighting and I would resign myself to a bleak future for humanity. But this is not the case, so despite the personal and financial attacks I continuously face, such attacks only strengthen my resolve to continue fighting.”
