Please Put YOUR Oxygen Mask On Before Assisting Others…


If you’ve ever flown on a commercial airline, you know a couple things….

One, you know it’s a MISERABLE experience, and that was even before the planes started falling apart in mid-air.  Terrifying.  But hey, DEI hires make us all feel so warm and fuzzy so aren’t they great?  [cringe]

But the second thing you know is they always coach you that in the event of a crisis, oxygen masks will drop from the ceiling, and what are you coached to do?

Put on YOUR mask before assisting anyone else like kids or elderly people around you.

Why?

Because if you black out and lose consciousness, you’re of no good to anyone else!

If you are passed out on the floor because you didn’t get enough oxygen, then you’re not going to be able to help your kids sitting next to you and you ALL perish!

And that same exact concept must be applied to the USA and Foreign Aid….and yes, even to (gasp!) aid to Israel!

I know many of you have been brainwashed your whole life that we must “defend” Israel!  We must!  After all, the Bible says we must!

Sorry, but I have to correct that a little bit.

Before I do though, I just want to say I absolutely love and support the Jewish people!  Israel is God’s own chosen Nation!  And yes, he absolutely says that “anyone who blesses Israel, he will bless — and anyone who curses Israel, he will curse.”

That’s in your Bible, it’s straight out of Genesis 12:3:  “I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”

But please take note of a couple things…

It does not say America must defend Israel, Biblically speaking that’s God’s job, and I happen to think he will get the job done just fine without us needing to help him out:

  • Deuteronomy 32:8-9 (NIV): “When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance, when he divided all mankind, he set up boundaries for the peoples according to the number of the sons of Israel. For the Lord’s portion is his people, Jacob his allotted inheritance.”
  • Psalm 121:4:  “Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.”

Also, “Blessing” a country doesn’t mean you have to give them money you don’t have.  And on the flip side, failing to give money you don’t actually have is in no way “cursing” a country.  Nonsense!

In fact, the Bible is quite clear that if you’re BROKE it’s not your obligation to give anything!

Do you know the story about the woman who only had two coins?

It’s often (wrongly) preached as saying if you’re down to your last two coins you should even give those away (to the church of course!).

But that’s just really bad teaching and really bad Bible by someone who has never read their Bible….or at least by someone who never read the verses that come DIRECTLY before that story.

Let me show you….

It’s straight out of Mark 12:

38 Jesus also taught: “Beware of these teachers of religious law! For they like to parade around in flowing robes and receive respectful greetings as they walk in the marketplaces. 39 And how they love the seats of honor in the synagogues and the head table at banquets. 40 Yet they shamelessly cheat widows out of their property and then pretend to be pious by making long prayers in public. Because of this, they will be severely punished.”

41 Jesus sat down near the collection box in the Temple and watched as the crowds dropped in their money. Many rich people put in large amounts. 42 Then a poor widow came and dropped in two small coins.

43 Jesus called his disciples to him and said, “I tell you the truth, this poor widow has given more than all the others who are making contributions. 44 For they gave a tiny part of their surplus, but she, poor as she is, has given everything she had to live on.”

I’ve bolded the key parts, it’s impossible to miss once you see it.

Jesus is teaching and warning the people about the “Elites” of his day, saying they shamelessly cheat widows out of their property and then pretend to be pious about it!  Then without missing a beat the story turns to, gee, a “poor widow” walking in to give away her last two coins and now she has nothing to live on.

The teaching could not be more clear.

Jesus is not lifting this up as an example, he’s saying DON’T DO THIS!

Don’t take the two last coins of a widow so she has nothing left to live on!

YOU give to HER!

And I’m sorry folks but the United States of America is the poor widow in this story.  We are also the adult who needs to put on OUR oxygen mask before helping others.

But we’ve gotten both of those completely backwards.

Folks, we can and should BLESS Israel.  We should stand up for Israel.  We should support them.  We should pray for them.  We should align ourselves with them and support them in all ways we can.

But I’ve got a newsflash for you….WE’RE BROKE!

No, I’m serious.

We are I N S O L V E N T !

We owe $34 trillion in National Debt

And here’s how fast it’s growing:

  1. 2024: $34+ trillion
  2. 2023: $32 trillion
  3. 2022: $30.9 trillion
  4. 2021: $28.4 trillion
  5. 2020: $26.9 trillion
  6. 2019: $22.7 trillion

We have no realistic way to ever pay that back.

Sometimes those numbers are so big they’re hard to really comprehend so I love what they do over at FederalBudgetInPictures.com.

They’ve take the Federal Budget Figures and put them in terms we can understand as a Family Household:

So imagine that’s your family.

You’re earning $74580 a year, but you’re spending $102,961 a year.  We can stop right there, anyone see a problem with that?

Would that keep you up at night knowing that each year you’re adding $28,381 to your credit cards?  Year after year?  Compounding and getting worse and more impossible to fix with each passing month?

But that’s not all…

You’re doing all of that while ALREADY HAVING $564,749 in debt.

Now let’s put the final cherry on top…

While it’s not on the chart, I did the math for you and the equivalent of the US Government giving Ukraine (another) $60 Billion is the same as this family giving someone $1,000.

You’re already in debt by half a million and you’re adding almost $30k debt per year, so do you have an extra $1,000 to give away?

Folks, I’m sorry but the answer is NO!

Math doesn’t care about your feelings….

Math doesn’t care about the guilt trip people want to put on you (and I’m not even getting into whether Ukraine is a money-laundering pit)…I’m just saying even if we took it at face value that we MUST help and defend Ukraine and Israel and the rest of the world, I’m sorry but we don’t have the money!  We’re broke!

Now back to the Mom who needs to put on her oxygen mask before helping her children…

Because I keep getting emails from people saying stuff like this:  “Ok, fine I get it, we’re broke and we don’t actually have the money, but we waste money on so many other things so I’m fine giving $10 billion to Israel.  Because after all, Genesis 12:3!  We have to do it!  What’s that you say, now make it $20 billion?  Yes, fine, good with me!  $50 billion would be even better!”

Respectfully, and I do appreciate the heart behind those people, but respectfully you simply don’t see the big picture.

And the big picture is this….America is the last standing guard left in the world.  If America falls, the world falls.  And the Elites have been planning for America’s destruction for decades….centuries even!

They HATE our Freedom of Speech…

They HATE our Freedom of Religion….

They HATE our Churches and our Christianity….

They HATE our Middle Class….

They HATE our standard of living…

They HATE our family structure….

They.  Want.  Us.  Gone.

And some of you who keep emailing me to tell me we must send $10 billion to Israel because Genesis 12:3 are (1) completely misunderstanding that verse and what it calls for, and (2) completely failing to see that what they really want is for the mother to be so distracted that she fails to secure her own oxygen mask and then passes out….and then the kids are easy pickings….

It’s not a perfect analogy so don’t freak out on me, but it’s kind of like this image:

The Good Shepherd (Jesus) coming to save the sheep!

And we are called to be what on this Earth?  His BODY.  So to the extent we are following that Mandate and being His hands and feet in the world, we are restraining the Elites to a great degree.

And they hate it.

They want us gone!

And if they can use Israel to tug on our heartstrings to do it, to wipe us out, bankrupt us, get us so lightheaded that we pass out, then all the better.

In fact, when I saw them shift from Ukraine to Israel, I wrote about it back in October.

I wrote about how absolutely evil and insidious it was to basically run the same Ukraine Scam but to now drape it in the White & Blue of the Israel flag and to suck in millions of “Christians” who have always been told to give our last two coins to Israel.

Wise up America, before it’s too late.

I wrote more about it back in October which I will post below if you want to keep reading:

The USA Does Not Keep Israel, YHWH Does!

Time for a little heart check….

And a little Biblical teaching.

I want to clear up a couple things because I think right now we are fighting so much devious propaganda that it’s hard to know which was is up.

Anyone else feel like that?

They’ve boxed us into a corner, and that’s why I say this is the most sinister FF propaganda attack I have ever witnessed.

But it’s pretty simple to understand when you pause and lay it out.

Very simply, Ukraine is a massive money laundering operation.

We’ve covered that before.

That has now fallen apart.

First, the FTX part blew up.

Then, in recent weeks, public support for the continued funding of Ukraine has FINALLY dried up.

Fallen off a cliff, if you look at the statistics, and that’s for Conservatives and Liberals.

People are done with it.

So the “People Who Run The World” (as Roseanne calls them) needed a new way to feed their War Machine.

Because after all, the War Machine is where all the money comes from.

So they just made one simple switch:

Pictures always explain things better than words ever could, don’t they?

I actually have to applaud the genius of it.

What is the ONE country that Americans, and especially CONSERVATIVE Americans, will always support?

Israel.

So you swap out Ukraine for Israel and all of a sudden you get nonsense like this:

I have been very vocal the last few days about pointing this out and saying what I believe is the very natural, Constitutional and common sense statement: “NO MORE FUNDING TO ANY COUNTRY OTHER THAN THE USA!”

Do you know how much money we’ve spent to help Maui?

$700 per household.

And yet Billions upon Billions went to Ukraine and now soon will be going to Israel.

But in speaking out against using American tax dollars to fund the world, some think I am anti-Israel and that’s where I need to do some clarification and some Biblical teaching.

Why do I have a flaming fire at the top of this article?

Because I need to introduce you to someone named YHWH: “For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God” (Deuteronomy 4:23-24).

And do you know what the Bible says about Israel?

It says a lot.

But it makes one thing very clear….

It never says the United States of America is to keep Israel safe, to be it’s protector.

Sorry folks, not in the Bible.

No, it’s much better than that!

Much more powerful!

Read Deuteronomy 32:9 — “Israel is the LORD’s portion…”

He divided up all the nations and gave them to the Sons of God, but Israel he kept for himself.

Biblical scholars call it “Cosmic Geography”.

Read Psalm 121:

Psalm 121

A song of ascents.

I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
    where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord,
    the Maker of heaven and earth.

He will not let your foot slip—
    he who watches over you will not slumber;
indeed, he who watches over Israel
    will neither slumber nor sleep.

The Lord watches over you—
    the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
the sun will not harm you by day,
    nor the moon by night.

The Lord will keep you from all harm—
    he will watch over your life;
the Lord will watch over your coming and going
    both now and forevermore.

It is the LORD who keeps Israel and watches over Israel, and he isn’t slumbering or sleeping.

He’s still on the throne, and spoiler alert, he doesn’t need a bunch of corrupt War-Mongering politicians from America to help him out!

So let’s be very clear….

I support and honor Israel.

But I am not Israel’s defender, and neither is America.

That cheapens the role the Bible assigns to YHWH and I’m not all that interesting in trying to usurp his role.

It’s why I wrote this earlier this morning:

Time to clear something up.

Do I support Israel? Absolutely!

Always have, always will.

But understand you are currently in the midst of the most devious FF propaganda event I have ever witnessed.

Ukraine support finally waned after 2 years. But many in America will support Israel forever, until we are broke and desolute.

I bless Israel, I would never curse Israel. But understand the USA does not “keep” Israel. The Bible says GOD keeps Israel, and he neither slumbers nor sleeps. Read Psalm 121:4.

The USA is not Israel’s keeper.

Israel belongs to YHWH. Read Deuteronomy 32:9-19. Israel is the LORD’s portion.

USA does not guard Israel, The Most High does.

This is the most insidious propaganda I’ve ever had to navigate through, and whenever you find yourself in that position the absolute BEST thing you can do is find your north star center of truth.

And where do you find that?

In the Bible.

So that’s what I’ve done here and I hope this helps you.

We can honor and support Israel while at the same time staying out of a brand new war and keeping American taxpayer dollars HOME and helping Americans!
