Net Neutrality

“For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.” (Rev. 18:3).

The following excerpt tells of a serious issue today. You can read the whole article at https://www.savetheinternet.com/net-neutrality-what-you-need-know-now.

What would happen if we lost Net Neutrality?
The internet without Net Neutrality isn’t really the internet. Unlike the open internet that has paved the way for so much innovation and given a platform to people who have historically been shut out, it would become a closed-down network where cable and phone companies call the shots and decide which websites, content or applications succeed.
This would have an enormous impact. Companies like AT&T, Comcast and Verizon would be able to decide who is heard and who isn’t. They’d be able to block websites or content they don’t like or applications that compete with their own offerings.
The consequences would be particularly devastating for marginalized communities media outlets have misrepresented or failed to serve. People of color, the LGBTQ community, indigenous peoples and religious minorities in the United States rely on the open internet to organize, access economic and educational opportunities, and fight back against systemic discrimination.
Without Net Neutrality, how would activists be able to fight oppression? What would happen to social movements like the Movement for Black Lives? How would the next disruptive technology, business or company emerge if internet service providers only let incumbents succeed?”

I am by far not the leader of the pack when it comes to knowing the latest on technology, but when I visited my family yesterday at the Thanksgiving get-together, they were talking about Net Neutrality. I saw family member talk in serious tones who were normally joking around. Actually, I was glad to see the change in mood because we should all be seeing the huge storm coming our way. It’s not that I’m against joy and light-hearted conversation. But, there is time for laughter and a time for mourning, and in this time of the cleansing of the sanctuary and the investigative judgment, we are commanded to be afflicting our souls (Lev. 16:31; 23:27,32). My family members are not Adventists and have seen little reason to be concerned with the future. Eventually that will have to change. Men’s hearts will be fearing for the things coming on the earth.

Ellen White made this statement:

“Today the signs of the times declare that we are standing on the threshold of great and solemn events. Everything in our world is in agitation. Before our eyes is fulfilling the Saviour’s prophecy of the events to precede His coming: ‘Ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars. . . . Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.’ Matthew 24:6, 7.
     The present is a time of overwhelming interest to all living. Rulers and statesmen, men who occupy positions of trust and authority, thinking men and women of all classes, have their attention fixed upon the events taking place about us. They are watching the relations that exist among the nations. They observe the intensity that is taking possession of every earthly element, and they recognize that something great and decisive is about to take place--that the world is on the verge of a stupendous crisis.
     The Bible, and the Bible only, gives a correct view of these things. Here are revealed the great final scenes in the history of our world, events that already are casting their shadows before, the sound of their approach causing the earth to tremble and men’s hearts to fail them for fear.” PK 536, 537.
   
She made other similar statements.

“The agencies of evil are combining their forces and consolidating. They are strengthening for the last great crisis. Great changes are soon to take place in our world, and the final movements will be rapid ones. The condition of things in the world shows that troublous times are right upon us.” (9T 11).

“The events of the future... will... come...with blinding force.... Gigantic monopolies will be formed... A few men will...grasp all the means...in certain lines of business.” (2SM 142).

“A storm is coming, relentless in its fury. Are we prepared to meet it?   
     We need not say: The perils of the last days are soon to come upon us. Already they have come. We need now the sword of the Lord to cut to the very soul and marrow of fleshly lusts, appetites, and passions.” (8T 315)

The Bible, and the Bible only, gives a correct view of these things.” The vast majority of Protestant Americans today have no idea of their Protestant past. Not only is their history forgotten, but the original faith in the Bible has been taken from them. Over the centuries and generations, all the gifts that Jesus gave this nation have been sold for earthly trinkets during our short stay in this life.

It has been difficult to break through their hearts’ many layers of long-time unbelief toward the Bible and biblical warnings of Jesus’ soon return. Today it is as though America never knew the truth as it is in Jesus. But, the day is coming when they will be forced to open their eyes, as they see the relentless storm coming. They will know the fury of the Vatican to regain all that she lost by heaven’s exaltation of America for the protection of the world against the Vatican’s despotism and tyranny of the Dark Ages. By our Constitutional government, by its holy biblical religion, by prosperity and economic might, heaven’s very blessing to Jacob—“God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine: let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee: cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee” (Gen. 27:28,29)—, Protestant America has spared the world from the evils of the “Holy” Roman Empire. Catholicism is pagan religion with Christianity spray painted on it for Satan’s greater power to deceive all who join this imposter. A loveless, Christless blight to heart and mind, soul and body, is Catholicism’s curse to humanity.

But, how has Protestant America done since it became a nation? It had a good start, but it has lost all that it gained. Over time our faith in the Bible and our obedience to it has grown increasingly sparing. Until today even the church-going half are preaching “grace and grace only since the Ten Commandments was abolished at the cross”, and “God would never punish us.” Protestantism is in definite apostasy.

So now with our divine protection gone, our old enemy is back. And Protestant Americans may not recognize her as their enemy, but she has always recognized them as such. We are her primary nemesis. The papacy now has control of America and is directing it to rebuild a replica of the despotic Dark Ages. And the faithful protester, Protestantism, has gone mute. It has nothing more to say against the Vatican’s spiritualism, but only praises for its paganism. If Aaron called the worship of the golden calf at Sinai a feast to Jehovah, that didn’t make it so. It was still the worship of Satan; and likewise, Catholicism.

Protestantism being mute is why Revelation calls Protestantism a false prophet, “the false prophet that wrought miracles before [the beast], with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image.” (Rev. 19:20, cf 13:11-14).

On Halloween, the Protestant leadership publicly made a covenant with the enemy of the Bible, which martyred millions for their love of the Bible. If that doesn’t have eerie forebodings, I don’t know what does. The Protestant denominations shook hands in covenant with the high priest of spiritualism on the day established to worship the dead!

So what does the loss of Net Neutrality have to do with the Vatican and Inquisitions?

The destruction of Net Neutrality means that a powerful means for marginalized groups to voice their concerns will no longer exist. Do the Jesuits control the world? Yes, they most certainly do. If they can assassinate U.S. Presidents and start wars, including the current war in the Middle East based on 9/11, they are in control. And if they aren’t right now surveiling our streets, its only because they choose to wait; but that day is coming. Do they control our media and telecommunications? The internet address above explains that an industry as well as possible greed is causing the war against a free internet. But, it really describes the Jesuits’ work to a “t”.

“They are a public plague, and the plague of the world . . . From the Jesuit colleges there never is sent a pupil obedient to his father, devoted to his country, loyal to his prince.”
“Every species of vice finds its patronage in them. There is no perjury, nor sacrilege, nor parricide, nor incest, nor rapine, nor fraud, nor treason which cannot be masked as meritorious beneath the mantle of their dispensation.” --Paolo Sarpi (1552-1623, a Venetian patriot, scholar, scientist and church reformer)

“The Jesuits are a MILITARY organization, not a religious order. Their chief is a general of an army, not the mere father abbot of a monastery. And the aim of this organization is power – power in its most despotic exercise – absolute power, universal power, power to control the world by the volition of a single man [i.e., the Black Pope, the Superior General of the Jesuits].
Jesuitism is the most absolute of despotisms [sic] – and at the same time the greatest and most enormous of abuses…”
--Napoleon I (i.e., Napoleon Bonaparte; 1769-1821; emperor)

Let me at this point mix with truth the rightful mercy toward many Catholic people.

God has children, many of them, in the Protestant churches, and a large number in the Catholic churches, who are more true to obey the light to the very best of their knowledge than a large number among Sabbathkeeping Adventists who do not walk in the light. The Lord will have the message of truth proclaimed, that Protestants may be warned and awakened to the true state of things” The Ellen G. White 1888 Materials, p. 377.

I’m not speaking about all the people, but to the leadership and toward all who avoid Christ’s example of perfect obedience to His Father’s Law. And to the extent that I or anyone avoid Jesus’ perfect example shown in the Spirit of Prophecy, we are under the same imputation of guilt and blasphemy.

Nevertheless, the Jesuits are the world’s most grievous source of danger. If Protestant Americans were more awake to the present emergency, we would hear more about the Jesuits, in particular. But, Americans have been deceived and can only speak from their secular, atheistic, anti-spiritual worldview. Yet, despite their misconceptions, I can say with the beautiful tolerance of Paul,

“What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in [unbelief]…, [the truth] is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.” (Phil. 1:18).

What I mean by that is that, even with the limited worldview of the secularists, they are still standing as watchmen on the walls of Zion, communicating intelligently and clearly this Net Neutrality danger as they see it. The protest is going forward, not by the churches, but by the secular world. And for that I must rejoice.

But, Net Neutrality should teach the atheistic/agnostic Americans that hoping in humanity is not good, and never was. “Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.” (Jer. 17:5,6).

Humanity and its great inventions and solutions cannot be trusted in. And the corollary for that law is:

“Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.” (Jer. 17:7,18).

The Bible is the most relevant book in the world! Its truth wins out in the end! Why do we ever doubt Jesus our Lord?! Ah! We need Him and His word so much to give us victory over the image of the beast, neo-Babylon the Great.

Net Neutrality, or internet equality and internet provider non-interference with the information that is put on the internet, though the principle is reasonable and good and righteous, could not be trusted in. This is simply because man doesn't see that Satan is behind all the evil goings on. Therefore they cannot put their finger on the problem or on the solution. Protestantism and its righteous laws have enemies that are too tenacious, too persistent, too plugged into the devil who drives his hosts of darkness. That mastermind sees his opportunity and surely seizes it, regardless of the law of the land. He scoffs at constitutions and legislation.

We have hoped in freedom of speech on the internet. We’ve been hoping in technology to keep us safe. But, Satan hates freedom of speech. He hates freedom of religion. And we don’t have Jesus to protect Protestant America anymore since, on October 31, we cut the last strand of His protection by joining the high priest of spiritualism on Halloween.

Adventism is a minority denomination and one branded as a cult. That label must have come from the Vatican because we had made that accusation against them. And we did so because it was biblical and because the world needed to hear the warning. But even Adventism has not been faithful to the Spirit of Prophecy. Our love has been set on the world instead of on implicit obedience to Jesus’ testimony through Ellen White. So now we will suffer for the brand of being a cult. With Net Neutrality gone, if we cry out from the internet will we be heard? Will my blogsite show up that sometimes has pointed to the Vatican as Satan’s number one earthly agency? In vain will Adventists cry out because the internet providers are owned by the Jesuits, which must silence Adventism, the remnant of the Reformation’s protest.

The phrase “wall of separation between church and state” came into being, not from the United States Constitution and neither from our Declaration of Independence, but via a letter from Thomas Jefferson to a group of Baptists in Danbury, Connecticut. The setting was January 1, 1802. The Federalists were acting much like the Republican Party in their political ties to the most powerful denominations. The Federalist Party wanted the government to support religion, and Jefferson wouldn’t let it happen.

The Baptists from Danbury feared persecution from the established denominations, and wrote their fears and sent them to the president. He reassured them that the Constitution would never allow government sponsorship of religion and let persecution happen. And he knew that his message to them was also a message to the Federalists. If the larger denominations were to receive funds from the government, their power to persecute would have an unbeatable advantage over the tiny Baptist denomination, which would receive only a pittance from government funding. No, the God-given United States Constitution would protect from all forms of tyranny.

But, times are changing. Today we’ve been seeing the authority of the Constitution eroded time after time. Presidential decrees override due process in Congress. Wars are fought without the consent of the people. War no longer comes with a declaration of war, as in former days; yet wars are being fought anyway, with American soldiers being dismembered and killed, with the decimation of innocent populations in the foreign lands.

School vouchers were unconstitutional because they sent federal money to parochial schools. Yet, the president still made it happen.

The Federal Reserve System is highly unconstitutional because it ignores the U.S. Constitution’s requirement for the government to spend only what it has in its treasury. Instead under the Federal Reserve Act, our federal government borrows from foreign bankers every dollar it spends and pays it back with interest. It acts like a huge credit card. This is exactly how the Jesuits gained control of the nations of Europe during the Dark Ages. And it is also how they paid for their impoverishing wars between European countries.) Slowly the wealth of the nation goes to international banks (“International banks” should be interpreted the Vatican bank.) Yet, as blasphemous as it was, not even President Kennedy could revoke the Federal Reserve Act without being assassinated.

Another infringement on the Constitution is the imprisonment of untried people who are accused of terrorism. Since 9/11 anyone accused of being a terrorist is guilty until proven innocent. Actually, even worse, one accused of terrorism is automatically guilty and has no protection from the Constitution’s Bill of Rights that gives each citizen the right of due process of law. Now, half of the Bill of Rights is gutted, because any American today can be called a terrorist. And if they are called a terrorist they have no legal protection; Habeas Corpus does not apply to them. They are put in indefinite detention without contact from the outside world. Then comes the torture to get a confession from them or to make them recant. Torture is another recent addition to the American code of military justice, and another gift of the Vatican’s Inquisitions. And false accusation is commendable to the Jesuits if it is done for the greater glory of the Church.

Like the Berlin Wall, our Constitution and Bill of Rights are falling before Jesuitry, the army of Loyola. All of these are signs of the coming time of trouble such as never was. Let no American think that this nightmare will only happen to the rest of the world. And let no one from the rest of the world think it will only happen in America. It will happen to the whole world.

“After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns…. Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet…. Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.” (Dan. 7:7,19,23).

It will be a horrific, but necessary, captivity in Babylon for God’s people because they needed its humbling and purification. But, Christlikeness is His goal of His punishing consequences. All who hold fast to Christ in the first troubles will be ready to preach the gospel in the Latter Rain. Shaken but still holding on, they will give a loud voice and their light will lighten the whole earth. Then they will go strongly through the final struggle such as never was.

“When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people, there shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and as the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done.
They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the LORD, they shall cry aloud from the sea.
Wherefore glorify ye the LORD in the fires, even the name of the LORD God of Israel in the isles of the sea.
From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, even glory to the righteous.” (Isa. 24:13-16).

Once His commandment keepers are purified, and they preach the gospel for a witness to all nations, then Jesus will come to take for His own.

“I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.” (John 14:3). “And so shall we ever be with the Lord.” (1Thess. 4:17).

“Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before His ancients gloriously.” (Isa. 24:23).
