The reason a violinist can make crystal glass break is because the instrument is able to duplicate the frequency the crystal vibrates at with an intensity that shatters it.

One of the most ironic things from my trip back to Loudonville was driving to the address of my dad’s old office building (which I knew had long ago been torn down) and finding a brand-new cannabis dispensary in the same spot!
My dad
developed a real drinking problem shortly after he married my mom, who was a
teetotaler and stayed one.
When my
brother was a baby my dad would sometimes be out at 1 and 2 in the morning at a
bar. Somehow, he got up every morning to run his very popular private medical
practice in Firestone Park (Akron, OH).
My mom doesn’t
know whether I was born yet or not when my dad made the big switch from magnums
of Pinot Grigio to prescription pills and injectables.
She told me
his world of dispensing drugs as well as taking them took off after my dad
approached a neighborhood pharmacist about helping out his poorer patients by
dropping his prices. The pharmacist said to him, “I can’t be a doctor and you
can’t be a pharmacist.”
My dad went
home that day and thought, “Well, he can’t be a doctor but I CAN dispense medicine
without him .” That was all the instigation my dad needed to obtain the
catalogs from the drug companies and start ordering pills and injectables by
the hundreds and then thousands, eventually including us kids in the “business.”
Within two or
three years of moving to Loudonville, us kids were assigned with counting and
packaging pills of all kind for every kind of problem.
I would even
stamp hundreds of envelopes at a time using a manual inking machine.

“If you put truth on the table, it doesn’t matter how much error is there. If truth can get an opportunity to have a fair hearing, it will take care of itself. The problem is error knows this, so it doesn’t want truth to get to the table, or if it does, it wants it to be on the table in a distorted manner."--Richard Jordan
“. . . Today there’s a great sense people have of being alienated, separated, being ‘out here by myself’ in the world. One of the reasons people join gangs, cults, movements . . ."Musk says he favors a “Banksian society” model for the future.
They constantly use the word “utopia” to make people think it will be a world
without poverty, without hate. All things that are human nature that they want
to remove and they want you to be subservient slaves.
"In this Banksian reality, tell me if this sounds familiar to
you: “An abundance and post-scarcity.” Almost everything is free or effectively
unlimited because this hyper-advanced AI handles all production, logistics,
etc.
"No one has to work unless they really want to. That will do
great things for your mental health when you get up every day and you have
nothing to do. What will you do? Turn on a video game, go to some fake reality,
live in some dystopian world? God forbid humans do the things God put us here
to do.
"We can have the government keep us in our homes and use our Smart locks to make sure we don’t exit because, again, carbon emissions is a big
deal and there’s the carbon laws.
"You got to love how Banksian PDF points say “God-like artificial minds,” because that’s what this is. Worship is in play."
(the good news for me is that I worked today on the next installment of my hometown travelogue, something I see as crucial to finishing my book, and will post tomorrow for certain.)
When the angels announced Jesus Christ’s birth, they said, “Glory
to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.”
“The new bibles change that because they don’t understand
the message there,” says Richard Jordan. “They change it to say, ‘Glory to God
on the highest, and on earth peace to men among whom there is good will.’
“They say, ‘See, the way you have peace is you have peace
among men who have good will for one another,’ and that’s a good human
viewpoint and religious idea, but that’s not what the verse says.
“Jesus Christ will come one day and be the ‘prince of peace’
and establish peace upon the planet and there will be worldwide, universal
peace among all nations and all men. He will be the prince--the establisher,
the maintainer, the governor--that produces peace on earth and good will toward
men from God and from one another.
“You say, ‘Wait a minute, did His mission fail?’ You look around the world
today and you don’t see peace. Look around the planet. Our world is boiling
with racial and tribal and cultural and moral conflict. Disintegration,
separation and secession for racial and religious reasons is the order of the
day.
“America always prided itself on the melting-pot philosophy,
where you would come and meld in; leave where you were and become Americans.
“Today, our government, the leaders of academia, the leaders
of our nation, they look at that melting- pot philosophy as just nativist
bigotry, where you’re trying to lift up one culture above another. And what you
hear constantly is ‘multiculturalism’ and ‘egalitarianism’; that is that every
culture is equal and therefore every culture should be exalted. Listen, that
kind of idea is not the American history. America has become a microcosm of the
world on fire.
“America has always been that kind of a microcosm. That’s
why the world has always looked toward America as a beacon, because here’s what
we could aspire to and become. But in our lifetime, the whole thing’s been
turned on its head and there’s no peace. You bring the nations to America today
and what do they do? They don’t meld into a melting pot. It’s more like a
boiling stew.

“You got one little group here and they reestablish their home community within the world and it’s, ‘Now we’re going to have our homeland here.’ Chicago’s full of it. There are over 270 different language groups spoken in the metropolitan area.
“I look at that, we got the little sign out front, ‘Reach the world by reaching
Chicago,’ and it looks to me like a great fishing hole. There’s hardly anywhere
you can go and reach the whole world by reaching one community. Just look at
Agne and Darius and how they went back to their homeland in Lithuania. You get
saved, you learn truth and you take the message back.
“The radio station were on (WYLL 1160 AM in Chicago),
there’s nine and a half million people in this area who can hear it. The last
time they did an Arbitron rating of that station, 43,000 people were listening
to (my show) every Sunday morning at 8:30. I don’t get to preach to 43,000
people every day, but I do there and I do every Saturday night on the
television.
“Our whole culture’s changed and you say, ‘There’s no peace
out there!’ but Isaiah says, ‘There’s no peace for the wicked, saith God.’

“You say, ‘Well, then, if Jesus came to be the ‘prince of
peace,’ and He came to preach peace, did His mission fail?’
“Well, no, because you realize through Paul’s epistles that the key to it is being able to ‘rightly divide the word’ and understand that this is not the day of the ‘prince of peace.’
“The only way you’re going to have world peace is for Jesus Christ to come
back, sit on the throne of the governments of this world and produce peace
through His kingdom.
“Being a premillennial Bible-believer is as much a political and economic statement, and sociological statement and ecological statement, as it is a doctrinal statement, because you’re saying there’s no hope for the peace of this planet--politically, economically, socially, ecologically--except in the return of the Lord Jesus Christ, and until then there’s going to be turmoil.
“You say, ‘Well, then, when Jesus Christ came and preached peace, what’s that
all about if it isn’t bringing the Kingdom in?’
“Well, it had to do with what He’s talking about here. By the way, in this passage in Ephesians 2, when Paul says He comes to preach peace, did you notice there are three times Paul talks about peace here?
“In verse 14, he says, ‘For he is our peace.’ Verse 15, at the end, what does
he do? ‘So making peace.’ And now in the text he comes and preaches peace.
*****
“What is peace? Keep reading verse 14-15: ‘Who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man . . . ’
“You see, in Paul’s mind, peace, and he defines it for you,
is being one. In our mind peace is just the cessation of hostility. If we can
stop conflict, but stopping conflict and stopping hostility, agreeing not to
fight, is not real peace.
“I mean, it’s only superficial. It’s only temporary. It’s only external. Soon enough the animosity will resurface and what you’ll discover is we agreed to stop fighting simply because we were weary of the warfare at the moment, and we’ll stop awhile until we can recuperate and rearm ourselves and then go at it again. Nothing’s really settled.
"In families, moms and dads, husbands and wives, fight and argue and you
just finally say, ‘Enough, I’m going to stop,’ but you don’t really resolve it.
One of you just gives up for the moment, but it still boils inside. Nothing
internally is really resolved. That’s not peace.
*****
“Paul says, ‘He is our peace.’ You see, the secret of peace
is in a person. It’s not in a prescription, it’s not in getting a conflict
management group to come in and tell you how to manage your conflict—that’s
just helping you to stop fighting.
“Christ is the essence of what peace is all about. He’s the
embodiment. In order to live at peace you have to have peace internally. Before
you can live in tranquility with others, you have to have an inner tranquility
with yourself.
“We want to start bringing peace by cleaning up the results of the conflict. God says, ‘I’m going to start with a person because the issue is a person.’
"Peace is a person, and to live in peace you have to be at peace with that
person. If you have peace, then you can begin to resolve the conflict,
genuinely. But peace starts, Romans 5 says, ‘Being justified by faith we have
peace with God through our Lord Jesus Chirst.’
“Until you have peace with God, not just in the sense of not
arguing with Him, but a sense of a cessation of His being against you and you
being against Him . . .
“How do you quit being against Him? How do you get Him to
quit being against you? That’s what peace is, and that’s why at the end of
verse 15, Paul says, ‘He’s made peace.’ How did He make peace? He made it
through the blood of His cross. He made it by slaying the enmity of the law
that was against us because we couldn’t keep it.

“In Titus 3 is a fascinating word picture of a life without Christ. He’s going
to describe what you know about who you were before you came to faith in
Christ. Titus 3:3: ‘For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient,
deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy,
hateful, and hating one another.’
“That’s life without Christ. You say, ‘Well, I don’t live like that.’ Well, that’s because you’re foolish and you’re deceived. You see, an unsaved person doesn’t really understand what life is about. They don’t really know how to live. They think they do but they’re foolish and they’re disobedient.
“They don’t do what God says and they’re deceived into thinking they know
better. And they’re serving-- they’re the slaves, they’re being driven by--all
kinds of lust, passions and pleasures. All kinds of thinking that says, ‘I want
to be gratified, I want my jollies, I want to be happy and I’m going to do it
my way.’ The result is they wind up living in malice and envy.
“If you want to know the culture around you, and you want to understand why the crudeness and vileness you see around is there, it’s because the minds of unsaved people are like a garbage can. They’re full of garbage. You know that because you used to be that way.
“Paul’s saying here, ‘Don’t get mad at lost people for being lost people; don’t
you remember what it was like where you were lost?’
“Listen, the only way you can get rid of the garbage is to get rid of the garbage can that’s holding the garbage. If you just dump the can's contents out, you know what, it’s still there. There can still be a real, ripe odor to it. There’s the remnants.
“So you know what God does? Verse 4: you see, he saved us, not by our
righteousness. Not by me saying, ‘I’m going to fix all those problems.’
“Titus 3: 4-5 says, 'But after that the kindness and love of
God our Saviour toward man appeared,
[5] Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to
his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy
Ghost.'

“You say, ‘I’m going to quit being foolish; I’m going
to get educated. I’m going to start doing what God says to do and obey Him. I’m
going to control my desires and just channel them in a certain way, discipline
myself, and I’m not going to lie in envy and malice. I’m going to eliminate
hatred and all the conflicts that come from it.’
“And God says, ‘Good luck.’ As I’ve said to you before, sin isn’t in the action; it starts in their heart. And to eliminate those things in Titus 3:3, you have to have a miracle from God that gives you a new heart and makes you a new person.
“That’s the thing he’s talking about when he says, ‘The one new man.’ That’s
the church the Body of Christ, but when God puts you in the Body of Christ,
what the Body of Christ is you. You’ve been put into a transforming union with
Him; made one with Him.
“He put you in His Son and makes His identity your identity;
makes His reality your reality, His life your life, His righteousness your
righteousness, His acceptance your acceptance. What belongs to Him now belongs
to you because you’re in Him; you’re an heir of God and a joint-heir of Jesus
Christ.
“The verse says, ‘Not by works of righteousness which we
have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of
regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost.’
“He comes in and cleanses you by making you a new person. He regenerates you and gives you new life. God the Holy Spirit makes you into a new creature.”
“What will humans do in Musk's robotic future? Certainly not working, Elon Musk wrote in an October X post,” reports Business Insider.
"AI and robots will replace all jobs," he wrote.
"Working will be optional, like growing your own vegetables, instead of
buying them from the store."
In a speech the other week, Musk predicted Tesla's Optimus
robot “will actually eliminate poverty.”
“Minutes earlier, the crowd cheered and broke out into
chants of ‘Elon, Elon!’ as shareholders approved Musk's $1 trillion pay package. The Tesla CEO — who is the world's richest person — will unlock up to $1
trillion in shares if Tesla achieves a series of lofty targets, including
selling one million Optimus robots in the next decade,” says
Business Insider.
Here is analysis from a Christian YouTuber:
Elon Musk is proposing an idea that his Tesla Optimus Robots
will follow criminals around to make sure they never offend again and people
will be on board with ideas like this.
We’re already seeing MAGA onboard with Palantir and ICE
being able to track civilians via their technology and trace their movements.
We’re seeing everybody out there who once cared about this
thing called “privacy” no longer care about it. We’re seeing those once worried
about a surveillance state actually on board with Donald Trump and these big
tech giants building out a surveillance state.
They don’t tell you what the crime could actually be. People
just automatically hear about repeat offenders because the media’s constantly
let us know that all these crimes being committed are from Democrats letting these
convicts out of prison, who then go and commit the crime again. Think about
how many times we heard these stories over the last couple of years where we keep
hearing the term “repeat offender.”
Well, here’s the idea to solve the problem. Instead of
overcrowding our prisons, because your home is going to be your prison once they
initiate the carbon laws, “What we’ll do is have these Tesla robots follow you
around—a personal handler.”
Not only does Musk talk about people being assigned for free their own Tesla robot that will be listening to everything they say, watching where they go and what they do, and you think this if for extreme offenders like murderers or rapists, but this is just going to be for people who disagree with the government.
People who, by the time 2030 rolls around, won’t
be able to criticize the state of Israel, or have differences of opinions from what the current government regime tells them they’re supposed to think, and how they’re
supposed to eat, and how they’re supposed to treat other people, and every other
thing that Big Brother wants to control because it’s all about behavioral
control . . .
Keep in mind, Musk is also talking about a “universal high
income” for all that will "eliminate poverty." He put out a tweet about having
Optimus replace human surgeons because, again, remember we hear about AI
becoming big in the medical field . . . he said we won’t have to worry about the
price of healthcare anymore.
People out there are on board will all this stuff because
all it took was for Elon Musk to jump out on stage next to Donald Trump. All it
took was for Musk to start saying he believes in Jesus Christ, like all these
guys suddenly telling you they have found faith in Jesus Christ. Guys who for years and years talked about being atheists are all suddenly Christian and getting you on board with things like
Tesla robots and autonomous vehicles and everything else they have planned for
us.
Notice how they changed the wording from “universal income”
to “universal HIGH income” so conservatives who always complain about their tax
money going to Democrats who don’t want to work and want to sit home and watch
video games, well, all they need to do is change the wording so people think, “Well,
it will be universal high income, so yes, let’s build these robots out so they
can follow around criminals AND so they can take all of our jobs away.”
Elon was even tweeting this out proudly because he’s fully
on board with universal high income just like he’s fully on board with climate
laws being in place, and if you understand what the plan is with Agenda 2030, and how these things tie together for human enslavement, you’ll start to see
what’s really being built out around you.
In his speech, Musk talks about a time where we won’t need
money; in fact, your wealth will be measured in how much energy you can
provide. I guess that does us no good because we’re not allowed to actually
generate free energy; they’re allowed to control all those things.
So, if you own Tesla, say, which provides a lot of energy,
you’ll be the king of the world on top of the mountain while the rest of us,
well, we’ll just be getting whipped in the rear end by Tesla bots.

Assessing the psychological make-up of a former First Lady and U.S. presidential candidate, TV psychiatrist Dr. Keith Ablow concluded (in 2017 interview) that her “really big problem is that she seems unable to determine when her lies are registering with audiences as clearly untrue . . .
Commentary from a Christian YouTuber about 2026:
You’re going to have to make a choice at some point in time; you’re going to have to pull back from the technology. That’s all there is to it and they’re going to do whatever they can to make sure that you don’t think that way.
You say, “Well, I got to live with my tech; I can’t go back to living like, you know, Little House on the Prairie,” but the reality is we all should be living that way, because part of the problem in the world today is that everybody is dependent on technology.
You get all your information online. Whenever you have a question you ask the search engine, you ask AI now for the answers, because nobody has any knowledge on their own. Nobody has books anymore.
Everybody’s
dependent on the internet for everything and they’ve made it that way. That's why they’re pushing for the digital ID now and that’s what the entire push
during COVID was really for.
Yes, it was for mixing man and machine. We know about the nanotechnology,
but they got inside of people’s bodies. We know they’re dumping it on us from
the sky every day with things like Smart Dust.
What we need to pay attention to now is how are they going
to condition us into accepting a digital ID when the government comes out and
says, “Look, you can’t have a job without a digital ID.”
After COVID in 2020, suddenly every single country in the world was having an immigration crisis. Now these world leaders get together at the Economic Forum and they’re saying the same thing they were saying in 2020: “We need some kind of digital passport so we can track and monitor viruses.”
We’re moving into the next era here and this world they
speak of runs on man and machine merging as one.
"It was 1936 and two friends serving together at a Sunday school conference in Alabama were at lunch, sharing what God was doing in their lives," writes Aaron Earls. "One, a missionary to Brazil home on furlough, told the other, a hymn writer leading the music for the conference, that a health issue would keep him from returning to the country he had grown to love. The news, received just days before, had broken his heart.
