Why the West is Being Destroyed

 We in the West should be weeping as the Porphet Jeremiah wept for his nation under God's judgmednt.   The West is being systematically destroyed.  Europe is going first, but America can't be far behind.  I like Douglas Murray, I've heard him now in a discussion with Bret Weinstein on Weinstein's Dark Horse Podcast, talking about the rioting in Portland and how American leaders are not interested in stopping it.  Now I'm listening to an interview with him about his book The Strange Death of Europe.    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQXHc-tJMXM

In a quote from his book he says that Europe has given up on her traditions and has lost the will to defend herself against the foreign invasion that is destroying them.  

This is an honest assessment but obviously from someone who himself doesn't really understand the nature of  the traditions that are being lost, doesn't appreciate for instance that what made the West the West, what made the West the place the whole world wants to be, was Christianity.  Christianity is the source of both a rational liberalism and a rational conservatism.  Unmoored from that source either can go wrong, but at the moment it's the liberal side going wrong.  True faith and obedience to the supernatural Christian God is what we've lost.   The list of stellar men of faith in Britain is staggering, and all that has been lost in less than a century.   It was the abandonment of Christianity that began the downward slide to destruction.  Just as the destruction of israel lamented by the Prophet Jeremiah was God's judmgnet for their abandonment of God and His commandments. 

In Leviticus and Deuteronomy blessings and cursings on the nation are spelled out in some detail, blessings for living by God's commandments and cursings for abandoning them.  We are to take these passages as applying to all nations, especially those who have had a commitment to the God of Israel, as the Christian West originally had.  Among the consequences given of abandoning God is the invasion by foreigners.  This is how Europe is being destroyed right now.   It is God working in the minds of the leaders of a nation to bring about such destrucrtion.  Once God has been abandoned His enemies accomplish His judgments for Him.  

I know what MIGHT stop this whole destruction in its tracks, although ti may be too late as there is a point when it is in fact too late to turn back God's judgments, and that is if the majority of a nation realized the cause of the problem and turned back to God, people in great numbers getting on their knees in repentance, asking for His forgiveness and seeking to live by His rules again.   You laugh.  Or maybe you cry.

In America the policies of the Left are clearly aimed at the destruction of the nation and one of them is the same kind of foreign invasion seen in Europe, through foolish "compassionate" poolicies, and our insufficeintly policed borders.  The lies that fuel the destruction of cities are another part of the judgment of God, also coming from the Left.  That's why we hope the Left won't win this coming election.  But they may.  God may be through with us.   I've hoped for a great revival to turn the tide, but too many of the churches are too far into heresies and apostasies for that to be a strong hope.  So I do a lot of crying myself.

================================\

All that is very general of course, and there are what are caled "proximal" causes or issues involved that may or may not be of value in this discussion.  For instance there are definitely conspiracies involved, such as the rewriting of history textbooks to indoctrinate students against American history and toward a global Marxist historical outlook and specifically the acceptance of Communism in the place of the American founding ideals.    This is known to have been accomplished through the work of the great tax-exempt Foundations, Rockefeller, Ford, Carnegie and Guggenheim.  All this has been discussed by Norman Dodd in an interview that can be found on You Tube.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUYCBfmIcHM    There is also an interview of Yuri Bezmenov, an ex-KGB agent about Soviet work in the US for the same kind of purpose of subverting American culture.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrS1qDcgdTk  It's in the last fiteen minutes that Bezmenov describes what he considers to be the immensely successful propagandizing ("demoralization" and "destabilizing") of Americans.  A note beneat this video says it had been taken down as "hate speech," an interesting interpretation of that bit of current political correctness, but the interview itself has been circulated as a DVD so even if they take it down again there are people who possess it.

Then of course there was what should really be thought of as the great Marxist revolution of the sixties,, which among other things provoked the removal of required courses in American history and Western Civilization at all our universities, and led to the the huge influx of Marxist professors into those universities where they have been indoctrinating students ever since.  The whole social justice way of thinking comes out of that influence, it is NOT just a development from normal liberalism or the Democratic party, it has all been orchestrated by committed Marxists.  The current actions of Antifa and BLM have historical roots in these things, they are far from a grass roots uprising on behalf of racial justice, in fact their connection to racial issues is extremely tenuous at best.  It should all be understood as the playing out of the revolution planned for almost a century now by the American Communist Party that came to prominence in the sixties.  They aren't particularly interested in black lives at all, they are using incidents that aren't even racial when you finally get to know what really happened, as a vehicle for their anti-American anti-Western ideology, the destruction of the West altogether and its replacement by their utopian fantasy of Collectivism.  With themselves at the top of course.

There is also a huge Jesuit influence in all these things, still hard at work in their never-abandoned CounterReformation by which they aim to destroy Protestant nations.  Chris Pinto is a major source of this kind of information, and the Marxist activities mentioned above as wel.  He has two websites, Noise of Thunder Radio where he reports on such topics of interest, http://www.noiseofthunderradio.com/show-downloads/   and Adullam Films where you can buy his many documentary films on such topics as the history of America and the history of the Bible..    

All this must also be understood as part of God's judgment on America and the West.  Marx came up with a plan diabolically designed to destroy Western civilization and it is working beautifully.  

Every kind of Biblically defined sin is now embraced by the West, and the whole "woke" movement which started out as all the Liberationisms of the sixties, all of it comes out of Maxism or Communism, it's even on their lists of objectives for taking over a culture.  Homosexuality is the latest.  Romans 1 describes how it is the result of the abandonment of the true God.  There is very likely demonic involvement in it as well as in all the gender confusion cases we're hearing about lately.

Turning all this back is likely beyond any merely human effort, it's a supernatural problem at root and it needs a supernatural remedy, if one is possible at all.

If we can't have a general revival why not at least revivals in what is left of the good churches?. Granted there is no perfect church, there are doctrinal flaws in all of them, but if they are basically sound they should be avidly seeking revival just in their own corporate bodies.  Enough of such revivals scattered across the country might have a dramatic effect on turning the tide.  It would take committed prayer by the congregations of these churches, daily prayer  I would hope, including repentance for individual and corporate sins, and maybe God would hear,  I wish.  I hope.  I pray.  Have mercy, LORD, let it be so.  Amen.

People are Dying Because of Misinformation and Bad Science, including about Remdesivir as well as HCQ

So they did a study on this new antiviral drug Remdesivir     https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2007764

We conducted a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial of intravenous remdesivir in adults who were hospitalized with Covid-19 and had evidence of lower respiratory tract infection. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either remdesivir (200 mg loading dose on day 1, followed by 100 mg daily for up to 9 additional days) or placebo for up to 10 days. The primary outcome was the time to recovery, defined by either discharge from the hospital or hospitalization for infection-control purposes only....

Our data show that remdesivir was superior to placebo in shortening the time to recovery in adults who were hospitalized with Covid-19 and had evidence of lower respiratory tract infection. 

Many questions come to mind in the light of what I know about the hydroxychloroquine debacle.

I don't know much about this new drug but it's called an antiviral, same as HCQ, which works to prevent replication of the virus in the cells.  It seems that both do that, they work the same way.

That being the case is it fair to guess that Remdesivir also works best in the early stages of the disease and becomes useless when the disease has progressed to the severe stage when there is immune-system overreaction and inflammation throughout the body?  \

If so, this study is just as irrelevant as the ones done on hydroxychloroquine.  That is, as they say, it was done on HOSPITALIZED patients, who have progressed beyond the early stages to be sick enough for admission to the hospital.  THEREFORE, if Rendesivir works similarly to HCQ, it was given to them after the window of opportunity had already passed.  It may nevertheless work as long as it is not TOO far past that window.

We are also not told the ages of the patients.  They were "randomized" as a total group, but all we know about them is that they were all "adults."  

But don't we also know about this disease that it has over a 99% recovery rate in general, that the younger patients are most likely to recover in the greatest numbers, and that it is the patients over 60 or with underlying diseases such as obesity, diabet4es, asthma and so on, who are at greatest risk of dying?  

We supposedly KNOW this.  So what is the point of a general randomization with a general  group of "adults" whose ages and possible co-morbidities are not given?  Wouldn't we be able to predict just from that general information about the susceptibility of different populations that those who are younger and healthier will survive it in greater numbers anyway, so that there would be no way to assess the contribution of an antiviral drug to their recovery?  It is possible, it seems to me, that just as with the Ford study of HCQ that came to a positive conclusion, this study of the new drug may simply be recording the survival of the low risk group that would have survived anyway, and nothing about the effect of the drug at all.  There is no way to know.  And some died in both studies, no doubt because the drug was administered too late to do any good, WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN KNOWN ALREADY BUT FOR SOME REASON WASN'T.  Since neither study reports ont he ages or co-morbid conditions of those who survived and those who died there is no way to know anything at all about the effect of the drug.

Those who have been defending Hydroxychloroquine as an effective antiviral therapeutic for COVID-19 have consistently used it with the high-risk ppopulation, the older ones and those with co-morbidities, who should be given it, and in the very early stages.  It should be effective in reducing the severity of the disease with any age group but there is not much point in giving it to the low-risk population.   AND if Rendesivir does work in the same way that HCQ works, giving it to hospitalized patients is counterproductive.  It would work best in the early stages of the disease as HCQ does.

In other words this is just another big fat irrelevant study based on amazing ignorance.  We're supposed to respect the "science" but this is such bad science it's laughable.

Just to sum up for Hydroxychloroquine and probably antivirals in general:I

• tt is extremely effective, even a 100% cure, if used within the first seven days of symptoms or a positive test for  COVID.  If used at the right time NOBODY SHOULD DIE OF THE VIRUS AT ALL.  If they are already very sick they may die of that illness but not the virus.
• It would work for all who have the disease, but since the low-risk population would likely survive even without treatment it skews the important statistics to include them.
• After the disease has progressed to the point that the immune system's overreaction has taken over with the inflammatory response, difficulty breathing etc., no antiviral drug is going to be helpful at all.  It may be that there is an intermediate stage where it can sometimes help but nobody is studying any of these questions.
• Conscientious reputable doctors have lost their jobs, had their websites taken down, and been banned from social media for reporting on their positive results with HCQ, which they were using correctly.  They had enormously positive results because they used it with the high risk patients in the early stages of the illness, thus saving the lives of the ones who are at highest risk of dying of this virus.  This is what the studies should be focused on and it is a strange irrationality that does not discriminate between populations based on their ages and co-morbidities, and adminsters the drug after the disease has become severe.  
• If Remdesivir is similar to HCQ in how it works, fine, since it so far doesn't have the problem of political suppression against it, but if it is subjected to the same kinds of irrational assumptions in studies of it, it will never show the highly positive results it is capable of with the high risk population.
•  While Remdesivir may be as effective as HCQ, since HCQ has a known 65-year old track record of safety and is a lot cheaper than the new drug, it should be the treatmet of choice.   However, since both are being subjected to irrational misuse based on misinformation, that has to stop first.

The correct information about the use of HCQ, and probably antivirals in general, has been available from the ver beginning, and for this information I refer you to the long article I included in the previous post by Dr. Steven Hatfill.   

(An Effective COVID Treatment the Media Continue to Besmirch     https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2020/08/04/an_effective_covid_treatment_the_media_continues_to_besmirch_143875.htmlI)

The doctors who have used it with great success have been silenced either because of completely unnecessary ignorance or political maliciousness.  I for one would like to see a massive movement to sue those who have suppressed the truth, which has led to thousands upon thousands of unnecessary deaths from this virus.
