Cause and Effect

In recent years, there has been an unprecedented interest in the news.  It matters not so much as to the source, but it is the content that tends to shape public opinion.  This is why most media outlets willingly and knowingly, bias the news to reflect the management’s political views, or to conform to the direction of the blowing political winds.  This is not unlike the practice of former President Clinton, who was an astute politician.  Whatever was exposed during his tenure in the White House was always Bill Clinton’s practice as was during the time of being Governor of Arkansas.  Being more “more exposed” as President of the United States; Bill Clinton was not able to keep so many secrets, as was possible as Governor of Arkansas.  It was also Bill Clinton’s practice to test the political winds of the day; by metaphorically whetting his finger, to see which way the political winds were blowing.  This is why—despite his troubles in office—was able to weather any storm.  Now it seems it is the “Mainstream Media”, along with their Liberal consorts; who are generating those “political winds”. 

The “Clinton Dynasty” was the beginning of the media bias we are experiencing today.  This current “media bias” is the very reason why so many people have tuned out of the likes of CNN; MSNBC; ABC; NBC and CBS.  It was during the Clinton Administration that the acronym of the “Cable News Network, CNN” was aptly made into a by-word for “Clinton News Network”.  This same “bias” of the Mainstream Media was also shielding President Obama; for which those of his party became mute as to anything President Obama did or did not do; despite the law and proper protocol.  By stark contrast; anything that President Trump does or does not do; is instantly twisted to either demonize him or place direct blame, whether or not it makes sense.

It is not enough that the news, in general, is mainly “gloomy”, but this has been the usual trend, in order to grab audience attention, as well as advertising dollars that is the lifeblood of every news media.  It was once stated that in times past—the commercials that dominated the news program slots, were the ones for both “a headache and stomach relief”; and maybe the relaxing effect of a cigarette commercial.  Many media outlets are not unlike the executives of Madison Avenue; which is the advertising district of New York City; where the “headline” is the lead of what story is going to be told.

Social media is rife with much bias, as well as outright lies; because now nearly everyone is armed with an instant camera and “Instagram”; for which a photo can be worth a thousand words.  However, since 1995; digital technology has morphed to a paradigm when any pictorial media can be changed with the click of a mouse.  Movie special effects can easily make up for bad acting, or deficiency of a character; for which these digital effects can make any actor into a superhero.  This by itself has diminished both writing and acting; for which an “Academy Award” is given to the producer of “special effects”.  Compare our current movies with those from the “Golden Age” of moviemaking, when both writing and acting were rewarded and the “special effects” affected only the stand-in or stuntman.

With social media and YouTube; anyone can be a “producer and/or director” of their own production; for which is far too easy to falsify any visual effect and not limited by imagination or fantasy.  With an outlet like YouTube, many can and have produced scenes that seem to be believable, but when someone attempts the same; come up rather short.  The question that needs to be asked, “Is it believable?”  Therefore many of us can appreciate the works of “Mythbusters”, who have taken these unbelievable scenarios and proved many of them to be demonstrably false.  And then there are those who want to make a name for them, and getting in their “15 minutes” of fame, when in fact they committed some horrible act that causes some serious injuries or even caused a death.  This reminds me of one item of interest that came out of the mouth of the late George Carlin, to wit: The next time there is an auto accident; tell the attendants to bring the bodies closer.”

In order to get to the truth of a matter, one must consider the source.  If the source is reliable and proven to be true; this is the source the same can rely upon.  Anytime the following is said: “…from an anonymous source”, must be considered “suspect”.  In addition, if there is a lack of witnesses; one might consider going to another source for confirmation.  If all the above is not good enough; consider the following:  There are only two venues of those who fully understand what is going on behind the news—1) those who create the news and 2) those that know and understand prophecy.

There are a number of those who know and understand the end of this age is coming; for which I am one, and understand the application of prophecy, and indeed some of which has happened as predicted, and much more to follow…why…because God said so.  There are nearly none in any of the media who know and understand prophecy; even if they did; would it be accepted by their bosses?  Not likely…   This is another reason why I have started this particular blog.  I have made some predictions in the past; for which all came true; only because of my understanding of prophecy.  There is one more factor involved, and that is “human nature”.  “Human nature” is what it is, can also be used to making some predictions.  One of those “natures” is greed.  Greed, for the most part, is applicable on a person to person basis, but it can also be easily applied to politics.  Politics is a combination of both “power and greed”, or a greed for power… just follow the money.

The bottom line is; one must know the cause, in order to understand the effect; for this is what is truly behind all news.
