Understand How We Must Mentally and Spiritually Prepare

Thursday, October 23, 2025 (Updated: Wednesday, September 16, 2026)

Post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure statement.

I know this is difficult for many people to wrap their brains around, but there is a significant portion of our country’s leadership that wants failure and chaos. It includes almost all of the Democrats and a not-small portion of the Republicans. Not only do they want it, they are actively working for it. 

Please read this entire post, especially the two screenshots I included near the end. (I don’t know who wrote them.) 




Sowing Failure and Chaos 

Consider the power of these six things:

  • illegal immigrants
  • drug smuggling
  • NGOs
  • voter fraud
  • election fraud
  • H-1B visas

They are all tied together, especially the first four. That is how the Democrat Party functions. That is how the Democrat Party and bureaucracy funds itself. How it survives. If you eliminate or even severely cripple the first four, they are done. They have no movement to speak of except for insane people who are being paid to protest and the portion of the Baby Boomers who never grew up. 

If you take out the money flow and the people flow, there is nothing left. 

The War on Heritage Americans

So what are they trying to do now that they can see their power slipping? Here is what they are doing to Heritage Americans, the people whose ancestors built this country (overwhelmingly, but not exclusively, White and European). If your family has been here for multiple generations either as settlers or legitimate immigrants who came to build and not take, then your family is probably Heritage American. 

If you are a Heritage American and a Christian, then the attack on you is even more fierce. 

Here is the four step attack against the backbone of the USA.

  • Chaos 
  • Demoralization 
  • Humiliation
  • War

That’s it.

They want you confused by the chaos. They want you uncertain who you should trust. 




They want you demoralized so you give up and tune out. This includes undermining Christianity and importing millions of people whose faith is directly contrary to the U.S. Constitution. 

They want to humiliate you so you take whatever abuse they wish to put on you. This includes:

  • filling your town with people who despise you and are only takers
  • importing millions of foreign workers who are nothing like you so your children cannot find jobs and launch their lives
  • filling the highways with foreign men who cannot speak English
  • importing men who are nothing like you and openly speak of taking over the country for a religion completely incompatible with the U.S. Constitution.

They especially want to humiliate you. Just look at the UK and Europe and what has happened to the girls and women there. The invaders do whatever they want to the women and girls while the country’s leadership looks away and punishes those who try to fight against it.

If they do it there, they certainly plan to do it here. 

And then they take us to war. 

If you think I’m exaggerating, look at what is happening now in the UK and the EU. They are actively feeding their populations war-footing propaganda. 

Does it make sense for them to go to war? 

Of course not. 

So why would they?

Control.

Control the food. Control the movement of people. Control what people can say.

But especially control the money. 

Centralized control of everything. 

Their 2030 goals have not gone away.

You will own nothing and you will be happy.

They haven’t stopped.

They can’t stop because as soon as they stop, they know they are over on a grand scale and for a long time. 

They will push until they win or are forced to stop.

The Lingering Toll of Their Past Chaos Operations

If we allow ourselves to be overwhelmed by the chaos, demoralization, and humiliation rituals, then they win. 

Every single mentally healthy person must actively stand against it. 

Why? 

Because there are too many mentally fragile and broken people in our country right now. We cannot afford more of them. 

You and I need to protect our minds, our hearts, and our overall well-being. Finding the balance in this time is challenging. 

Look at how many people were utterly broken by the Covid operation. How many people do you know who have never really fully recovered mentally from that experience? 

How many people were broken and changed by the race riots and open war on Whites? The trans and “gender identity” insanity push? How many people do you know who have never really fully recovered from all of that? 

Even the people who stood strong against all of it were hurt and changed by it to varying degrees. It might not have broken us, but it took a toll on us. Every one of us. 

I would love nothing better than to turn everything off and disconnect. Pretend that none of this is happening. Believe me. I’ve had that temptation and conversation with myself more than a few times this year. 

But how would that help me? How would that help my family? My church? My community? My state? 

It wouldn’t. 

I’ve been resetting my life all year. I may not be writing about it every week, but I have been doing what I can to bring order to every part of my life – physical, mental, spiritual, relational, etc.

I encourage you to do the same. 

Find the balance that works for you. Give yourself what you need to be well, but resist the temptation to think that you can somehow escape all of it if you just wish it away. 

Consider this. 

I believe some version of the above is why everything is going at such as excruciatingly slow pace when it comes to arrests and the like. Those working toward the good of our country have to do it without breaking our country. 

They are threading needles we can’t even begin to understand. 

While they are doing that, we need to continue to pray for them and prepare our own mind, spirit, heart, and home.

    I see the dissonance on from both sides. Even more pronounced from the some on the left and the far left. You can hardly speak the truth at all until very direct and that makes them very upset or they just get quiet entirely. The far left is fomenting chaos intentionally to take the people, current government and entire country down. If people can’t see that it’s pretty plain.

    You are right, we have to prepare ourselves. I am continuing to work on my home and doing many things here.

    Well said Sallie, All the signs are frightening. Stand our ground with the truth, pray, and hold tight to the Word. Phil 1:28 In nothing be terrified by your adversaries, which is to them an evident token of perdition, but toyou of salvation, and that of God.
