In all seriousness, I pray for the loved ones in my family who got stampeded over the ‘vax’ cliff or pressured socially and gave in to the jab. I also pray for those on FR that have said they are jabbed and humanity in generaI

Agreed. I am a student of history, revivals. I am drawing parallels with what is happening today. Think the Great Depression, it birthed our nation’s second revival ( nation brought to it’s knees), Billy Graham, and other notable ministries. FDR corrupted our monetary system ( abolished gold ownership), let the Federal Reserve dictate flawed policy, unemployment skyrockets, crops failed, banks failed, fear was rampant. This Covid flu has all the same hallmarks- our nation departed God’s word in the roaring twenties, was brought to its knees, then Revival…all by man’s corrupted actions. Buckle up believers, stay strong, pray for revival. As for the non believers, those without discernment, pray for discernment- the good Lord works in mysterious ways.
A further read about the rise of communism in the 20-30’s. Sound familiar?
“ Communism made a larger impact on Washington than almost any other state. “There are forty-seven states in the Union, and the Soviet of Washington,” Postmaster General James Farley joked in 1936. Despite its exaggeration, the remark had some truth, as left-wing radicals played major roles in union struggles, electoral New Deal politics, and civil rights activism.
This section foregrounds the Communist Party in Washington during the 1930s, but see our companion site, the Communist Party in Washington State History and Memory Project, for a history from 1919-2002.
Washington had a long history of labor radicalism and left-wing class politics. In the early decades of the 20th century, the Socialist Party and International Workers of the World (IWW) had strongholds throughout the state. The Communist movement, founded in 1919, caught on quickly in the Pacific Northwest, picking up members from the fading Industrial Workers of the World and Socialist Party. Though radical politics had been fractured and isolated during the 1920s—a result of the World War I red scare and internal splits—the economic crisis gave radicals new ways to organize and a more sympathetic public audience.
The Communist Party had been small and isolated prior to the Great Depression. Highly disciplined and scornful of other radical groups, the Party attracted much attention and some new members in the early 1930s through its Unemployed Councils, a militant organization that competed with the UCL. In 1933, the CP began publishing the Voice of Action, a lively and loud Seattle-based weekly newspaper and its effectiveness increased.
Even before the Communist International in Moscow officially declared in 1935 a new strategy of cooperating with other progressives, the CP in Washington had been building its own “popular front.” Party members joined the Washington Commonwealth Federation and sometimes took leadership roles in the new unions that emerged starting in 1934.
Never a mass organization—CP membership in the State rarely exceeded 2,000—the Party nevertheless was uniquely adept at organizing their way into influential positions in unions and coalitions like the WCF and the Washington Pension Union. Important too was their role in promoting civil rights activism in the 1930s. However, the American Communist Party’s growing influence was cut short by new Soviet foreign policy concerns, which shifted their international tactical strategies in 1939 away from coalition building and toward a more sectarian and purist approach, weakening the coalitions and public trust that they had built over the 1930s.
The left had many dimensions, including a partially revived Socialist Party, a residual but active group of IWWs, and Trotskyists affiliated with what became the Socialist Workers Party in 1938. Unaffiliated radicals outnumbered all of those who followed particular parties, and worked in unions, unemployed organizations, civil rights coalitions, and most of all inside the New Deal Democratic Party.”

The rise in socialism headed up by senile Joe further bolsters my argument for revival- history repeats, both Biblical history and secular history. Most historians have no idea how corrupted FDR was, and just how many communists were advising him. Never forget communists are a Godless, corrupted bunch and their first priority is doing away with God.
“I am a student of history”
You sound more like just a “If God had wanted man to fly he’d have given him wings!” guy.
God told Moses to order the Israelite families to sacrifice a lamb and smear the blood on the door of their houses. In this way the angel would know to ‘pass over’ the houses of the Israelites.
But you’d have “none of that!”.
