One of the things that Barry said on Sunday was that God was omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent. That our God does not change. Therefore the warnings that were given to the Jews by Moses can apply to us as well. In this time of terror the question should not be if our leaders are stupid, but instead why have they become so stupid, and is this the result of us abandoning our faith.

CNN reports that “At least seven people were killed in a short but violent assault that unfolded late Saturday night in the heart of the capital, the third such attack to hit Britain this year.” An anonymous reader quotes their follow-up report:

Prime Minister Theresa May has called for closer regulation of the internet following a deadly terror attack in London… May said on Sunday that a new approach to tackling extremism is required, including changes that would deny terrorists and extremist sympathizers digital tools used to communicate and plan attacks. “We cannot allow this ideology the safe space it needs to breed,” May said. “Yet that is precisely what the internet and the big companies that provide internet-based services provide. We need to work with allied democratic governments to reach international agreements that regulate cyberspace to prevent the spread of extremist and terrorism planning.”

True. They don’t want to suppress terrorism, they want the police state. Terrorism is an excuse.

If they wanted to suppress terrorism you don’t need a web of cctv cameras, complete internet penetration, and totalitarian rules, you need focused intelligence on potential agent provocateurs, proactive policing of terrorist candidates, and proactive deportation policies. Focused measures, a few million pounds and a thousands of man hours around a handful of individuals, not wasting billions of dollars and millions of man hours on everyone, 99.9% of whom are the people you are ostensibly trying to protect… unless they are the real target all along.

The obvious goal is this. 1. Create a blackmail state, for any potential politicians or influential individuals. 2. Create in the populace the paranoia of east Germany by creating a panopticon. 3. Make money with juicy government contracts.

The author of 3 felonies a day states the laws are so convoluted and complex if they follow you about your normal day the authorities can find a felony with which to charge you. In Britain they can do this without leaving their comfy desks, but refuse to even investigate known terrorists. The conclusion is obvious. The cameras aren’t there for them, they’re there for you.

It is not merely the political left that lie, double down and project. It is the political right: who in the pursuit of power have given up truth for a lie, and will not declare a day of repentance and fasting, turning again to Christ who saved us, and rejecting the lie that is pluralism.

A panoptican — complete monitoring of every subject at every time — will not help if you do not have the courage to act when there is a threat. It is limited by Bayes Law when the baseline risk is low. And that is before I consider the damage that the Lawyers do, making up human rights out of thin air.

Deuteronomy 11:13-19

¹³If you will only heed his every commandment that I am commanding you today – loving the LORD your God, and serving him with all your heart and with all your soul – ¹⁴then he will give the rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the later rain, and you will gather in your grain, your wine, and your oil; ¹⁵and he will give grass in your fields for your livestock, and you will eat your fill. ¹⁶Take care, or you will be seduced into turning away, serving other gods and worshiping them, ¹⁷for then the anger of the LORD will be kindled against you and he will shut up the heavens, so that there will be no rain and the land will yield no fruit; then you will perish quickly off the good land that the LORD is giving you.

¹⁸You shall put these words of mine in your heart and soul, and you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and fix them as an emblem on your forehead. ¹⁹Teach them to your children, talking about them when you are at home and when you are away, when you lie down and when you rise.

Luke 17:1-10

¹Jesus said to his disciples, “Occasions for stumbling are bound to come, but woe to anyone by whom they come! ²It would be better for you if a millstone were hung around your neck and you were thrown into the sea than for you to cause one of these little ones to stumble. ³Be on your guard! If another disciple sins, you must rebuke the offender, and if there is repentance, you must forgive. ⁴And if the same person sins against you seven times a day, and turns back to you seven times and says, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive.”

⁵The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!” ⁶The Lord replied, “If you had faith the size of a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.

⁷“Who among you would say to your slave who has just come in from plowing or tending sheep in the field, ‘Come here at once and take your place at the table’? ⁸Would you not rather say to him, ‘Prepare supper for me, put on your apron and serve me while I eat and drink; later you may eat and drink’? ⁹Do you thank the slave for doing what was commanded? ¹⁰So you also, when you have done all that you were ordered to do, say, ‘We are worthless slaves; we have done only what we ought to have done!'”

We are at war. It is not a neat war between nation states, with accepted rules of war and self policing for atrocity. It is a religious war, undeclared, between the Wahabite and his Muslim fellow travellers and Christendom, and atrocity is the preferred tactic.

Monitoring on line won’t help. There is such a thing as the Dark Net. There is this thing called speech, and paper. There is strong encryption. We should learn from the Russians: human intelligence and timely arrests are more efficacious than signal intelligence.

At this time we need to stand together in Christ. The state is against us, and the new people they have imported from the Middle East are generally against us.

And our message to our nation and our enemy is simple: without Christ you are all damned. Come to him, and turn from your ways of violence, of deceit and of micromanagement. For the sake of your eternal soul, choose Christ.
