America the Deceived or the Deceiver???

Lately I've been baffled as I watch the pastors, preachers, ministers, shepherds and teachers leave their first love. Revelation 2:4Jesus tells the church of Ephesus, "But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first".  The church lost its passion for Jesus like when they first were saved. It's a reminder of who saved you and why you were saved. It reminds the Christian of who they once were. And it can be assumed if you love someone (God, Jesus) you will want to please them.

So, Christians must continually ask, "What pleases God?" What pleases God includes having faith, obeying divine commands, and living a life of righteousness, justice, and LOVE TOWARDS OTHERS. This involves actions like demonstrating compassion, showing kindness, serving the community, and producing the fruit of the Spirit, such as love, joy, and patience. Specifically, some faiths highlight the importance of receiving God's gifts like forgiveness and pursuing holiness by saying no to sin and yes to righteousness. At this time in history, are Christians pleasing God?

Watching to TBN (Trinity Broadcasting Network) it's hard to see pastors, preachers, teachers, and ministers talking more about Republicans than God. They no longer point to God but to President Donald Trump. They tell their congregation, "We have a lot of people who are poor. What should we do because Jesus said in Matthew 26:11"The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have me". This verse is also found in Mark 14:7 and John 12:8, and is a direct reference to Deuteronomy 15:11, which states, "For there will never cease to be poor in the land". Why would a pastor say this? To make it palatable for Christians to not care about the suffering many poor people are experiencing under the Trump administration.

One of the jobs of Christians is to set THEMSELVES apart from the world, not to conquer the land. Right now the Evangelicals have banded together to make America a Christian nation again. That is good and all, but what makes a Christian nation? People accepting Christ.

"Separating yourself from the world" is a concept found in many spiritual and philosophical traditions, generally meaning to detach from worldly attachments, values, and desires to pursue spiritual growth, or to live a higher set of principles. It involves a deliberate choice to focus on inner self, practice detachment from material possessions, and avoid the negative or sinful aspects of the surrounding culture, without necessarily isolating from people entirely. 2 Corinthians 6:17, "Therefore go out from their midst, and separate from them, says the Lord, and touch no unclean thing; then I will welcome you". This is a direct quote often cited in discussions about separation from the world. 
Christians have NEVER been called to force their beliefs on others. If America is to be a Christian nation, then people must have a heart change, other than this, it will be a forced Christianity which God doesn't desire. Several Bible verses address living in a way that glorifies God, particularly by demonstrating love and good deeds towards others. Key verses include the phrase "I never knew you" appears in Matthew 7:23 and Luke 13:25-27, where Jesus is speaking to people who have claimed to perform miracles in his name but have not truly followed God's will. In these verses, he states, "And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness" 1 Peter 2:12, which says to "Keep your conduct honorable among the Gentiles... so that... they may... glorify God in the day of visitation," and Matthew 7:12, which is the Golden Rule: "Do to others what you would have them do to you". Another relevant verse is Philippians 2:4: "Look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others". 

If America is to be a Christian nation, the Christians must behave as Christians. Many of them have no problem saying WHO hates God. But have their attitude and behavior brought people to Christ or repelled people from Christ? In Romans 14:13, it states, "Therefore let us not pass judgment on one another any longer, but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother.

Maybe people are rejecting Christianity not because of God, but because of His cold-hearted, callous followers.
Christians say they are concerned with the secular education their children are receiving and want to change it for the children. They want to change the different cultures to Christian. Well. change begins at home. Proverbs 22:6, which states: "Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old, he will not depart from it". Are Christians demonstrating their faith and trust in God complaining their children are being corrupted by the world? Are the faithful, faithful?

The Christian does not depend on playbooks like Project 2025. They look to where their help comes from, "My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth" is found in Psalm 121:2It is part of a larger psalm (Psalm 121) that speaks of God as the ultimate source of protection and strength for those who look to Him. Christians are looking to Donald Trump to save them from sinners. How they forget, they are also sinners. What if we legislated Christians to live a truly HOLY life?
The church has a holy vision that they believe can only be achieved by cracking down on SINNERS. Not BIBLICAL teaching. How then can change come that is Godly? 2 Chronicles 7:14, "If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land". This verse is a promise from God that if His people repent, He will respond to their prayers with forgiveness and healing. It didn't say govern people with Christian laws and policies. No! It is Christians REPENTING and PRAYING that will heal the land.

One would believe Christians do not read their Bible or live by it. One would even question, do they know God? This is the FRUIT of the spirit onlookers see. I have long said Evangelicals are giving Christianity a black eye and God cannot be pleased with them trusting and relying on such a wicked, greedy, heartless, prideful man. That should be who they separate themselves from. DOROTHY GUYTON, author (BA, MA) INTERVIEWER: Trump, Evangelicals, and Wealth
The Bible verse about knowing people by their fruit is found in Matthew 7:16-20, which states, "Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles? ... A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore, by their fruit you will recognize them". This passage is a teaching from Jesus to discern true followers and prophets by observing their actions and the outcomes of their lives. What fruits are Christians supposed to have and be recognized by: Galatians 5:22-23, which states, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law" (NIV). These qualities are produced by the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers. Christians today do not have the joy which comes from God. They are angry and bitter. Complaining all the time about sinful people.

The book of Revelation, the only book of the Bible which says not to change one WORD of its text, no adding or taking away, gave us a warning about the church (The primary Bible verses prohibiting changes to God's word are Deuteronomy 4:2 and Revelation 22:18-19) in the End TimesThe seven churches of Revelation are Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, Laodicea, each with a specific problem addressed in the biblical text, warning us this church no longer honors or worships God. Ephesus was rebuked for leaving its first love, Smyrna for persecution, Pergamum for tolerating false teachings and immorality, Thyatira for a false prophetess, Sardis for being spiritually dead, Philadelphia for enduring trials, and Laodicea for being spiritually lukewarm and complacent. Keep an eye on the church to see if they are behaving like the 7 churches mentioned to KNOW how much trouble we are in if Evangelicals have been fooled into thinking Trump is an answer for a secular world. 
"My grace is sufficient to overcome the world" is not a complete quote from the Bible, but the sentiment comes from 2 Corinthians 12:9-10, where God tells the apostle Paul, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness” You can't evangelize if you are an oppressor or one seeking power and money. We know the church has become greedy and encouraging hurtful actions towards Christians and non-Christians. Maybe Christians are the cause of the problems we're facing. Maybe people are rejecting God because of His ambassadors representing Him.

When I think of today's church, I cannot believe how they are supporting Trump. I can't believe how easily they call others, sinners.
  • Look for actions that violate God's law: 
    The Bible lists specific sins such as murder, adultery, lying, stealing, and coveting. 
  • Observe a person's relationship with God and others: 
    Sins like not loving God or your neighbor, speaking ill of others, or being selfish are also considered sinful. 
  • Consider the role of intent: 
    The Bible distinguishes between those who knowingly violate God's commands and those whose actions are simply part of their sinful nature. 
  • Recognize the presence of self-righteousness: 
    The Bible also identifies self-righteous people as sinners because their actions and words are not in line with God's law. 
While the Bible provides a clear definition of a sinner, it is not a label that can be used to judge or condemn others. Instead, it is a reminder that all people are in need of God's grace and forgiveness through Jesus Christ.  

Today's Christian is wrapped up in the sins of others and forgetting their duty as Christians. In Matthew 7:23, where Jesus tells those who claim to know him but did not do the will of the Father, "I never knew you; depart from me, you who practice lawlessness". The phrase "I never knew you" appears in Matthew 7:23 and Luke 13:25-27, where Jesus is speaking to people who have claimed to perform miracles in his name but have not truly followed God's will. In these verses, he states, "And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness!'"
The Evangelicals BELIEVE they are doing the will of God when Jesus' ministry tells us to guard our hearts. Our heart condition is what matters and even if you quote scripture, look holy, or evangelize, those deeds are good, but it's about the unseen heart which God sees. This is how he can say "I never knew you even though my name was constantly on your lips.

If Trump does all the Evangelicals want, they won't be satisfied and need more. The lust of their heart is no longer God. We will have to stay tuned to see what the corruption of power will do to the church. History repeats you know. Stay tuned and don't let Christian people sway you into not trusting and depending on God to answer prayers if the CHRISTIAN repents and pray.
For LEADERS and teachers there is a dire warning they should be aware of. The seven woes in Matthew 23 are pronouncements of judgment by Jesus against the scribes and Pharisees for their hypocrisy. They are, shutting the kingdom of heaven from others, leading converts to hell, being BLIND GUIDES who prioritize minor details over major principles, being inwardly corrupt despite outward appearances, and feigning respect for prophets while perpetuating their violence. Self-righteousness led them from the ministry of Jesus.

The Bible strongly warns against self-righteousness, emphasizing that true righteousness comes from God's grace and faith in Jesus Christ, not from human works or merit. Self-righteousness is presented as a dangerous deception and a sin that blinds people to their true spiritual state and God's standards. Biblical passages like Romans 10:3, Galatians 6:3, and the parable of the Pharisee and tax collector in Luke 18:9-14 show that relying on one's own good deeds leads to pride, vanity, and a failure to submit to God's will. 
Key Biblical Teachings
  • True righteousness is God's gift: 
    The Bible teaches that humans are inherently sinful and our best deeds fall short of God's perfect standard. Righteousness is not earned but is granted through faith in Jesus Christ's sacrifice. 
  • Self-righteousness is a deception: 
    It creates a false sense of purity and blinds people to their need for God's cleansing and mercy. The apostle Paul rejected his own perceived righteousness, considering it a "loss" compared to the superior righteousness found in Christ. 
  • It leads to pride and judgment: 
    Self-righteous people often focus on their own achievements and can become hypocritical and judgmental of others. Jesus highlighted this danger by showing how the humble tax collector, unlike the proud Pharisee, was considered righteous by God.

America, the Greatly Hated

Here in America, we have gotten use to President Trump threatening Americans, especially the Democrats. He threatens them daily with talk of cutting funds to democratic states and threatening federal workers with firings during the government shutdown. He never misses an opportunity to say something asinine. He may be in front of a camera rambling more than once in a twenty-four-hour period. Not to mention the president's late night early morning tweets. We expect nothing less than foolishness from him.


That's us, Americans. Accepting the unacceptable from a corrupt president who has no wish to leave office ever. I mean the American people elected him in a fair election, right? Trump declared Biden's win in 2021 as 'stolen'. I hate to say there were many people saying Donald Trump had Elon Musk rig the voting machines or changed the result somehow. It was my first thought when Trump beat Kamal Harris. Now Elon has all of American's personal data grouping it into who can be 'disappeared' and pinpointing areas where women and Blacks excel and get rid of those people and or job (DEI hires/firing). Whatever he does our personal information. I'm sure it will be threatening and harmful. He is a puppet master in the wings of darkness, and he isn't finished with us yet. In this administration's pettiness, my writings may have me on the president's revenge list. Your reading my writing may land you on his hit list. These are uncertain times, and yes, people are calling Donald Trump the Antichrist and saying it's the end of the world as we know it. I believe he is a forerunner of the Antichrist, today's modern church. Check out my blog titles to read my writing on End Times DOROTHY GUYTON, author (BA, MA) INTERVIEWER: The Sky Is Falling.

To say we live in fear of our president and his terrorizing minions, is an understatement. Brick and mortar stores are closing due to people not being able to shop like they once did. I remember when I put whatever I wanted in my grocery cart. Now, I meal plan before going to the grocery store. The meal plan is for two weeks. What used to count as four weeks of grocery has become fewer items, but the same price or greater. The tariffs are causing the average American person indigestion as the old folks used to say when someone is in distress. Here in America. people are walking around, holding their chest or head like Redd Foxx, knowing the BIG ONE is coming. And Democrats are having low-key I told you so's to every Black person they run into, hoping they (Trump voters) GET what THEY voted for.

We have seen how Trump humiliates other world leaders and make them grovel to him in public. But what we don't hear is the voices of those in other countries Trump bullies. Well, I got an earful on my birthday trip to Italy. The Italians who were not raking in dollars from tourists were cold, distant, and not inviting. Italian street signs read, "Americans Go Home." Variations of the sentiment have been drawn or pasted around the ancient marvelous site which is Italy.

So, no. No Italian came up to me as an American to voice their complaints with me. But an attractive middle-aged woman from Canada did. She began by saying Americans need to learn the ten provinces and three territories in Canada. Other European countries know about Canada and other countries. Even when she ceased speaking, I knew she had much more stored up to say. She asked if we even had history in schools. She went on and added," I know Canada is the fifty-first state." She tracks our country's news better than most of our inhabitants. After explaining to her we are terrorized by our president just as other countries are, I asked about Prime Minister Justin Trudeau early retirement on January 6, 2025, and his replacement, resigned. Central banker Mark Carney who lasted for twenty-seven days also resigned. She said she doesn't keep up with the news, it's too depressing. Yeah, people search for this embarrassing stuff giving them fuel for their hate. I did not take the opportunity to question her education. But her hatred of Americans and not Donald Trump is happening all over the world. As a traveler, I have to listen to people from other countries condemn me, and I did not vote for Trump. All I have to say is, "The rain falls on the just and unjust alike."

The two obvious MAGA men, all prim and Christian like, barely speaking loud enough for the person next to them to hear, defended TRUMP not AMERICA or Americans which shamed me. We must face the fact we're hated by many people who have gotten mixed up with the grifter and tyrant. But WE were warned and now all we do is sit and shake our heads over the erosion of the constitution and the blindness of Christians that they don't remember Judas and Jesus. Judas wanted an overhaul of government and the political parties. He demanded governmental change which led him to become a betrayer of Jesus, dying a horrible death, and history knowing and recording he delivered Jesus to his death. Romans 12:2, which states: "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."

This strong-arm Christianity will not work. No forced religion works. It becomes a cult instead of worship to the Christian Trinity. And men thinking they are being manly Christians, are supporting Trump's outrageousness and cruel policy changes. They say they are saving children from LBGQT people and wokeness, letting God once more reign in the land bringing prosperity. They use talking points about the deep state and fake news, camouflaging their targeted maliciousness of brown people. One too many brown people is too many for Trump and his racist followers defending the border treatment of immigrants seeking freedom and government contracts they believe no Black person can qualify to do. Christianity cannot and most importantly should never attempt to legislate morals, character, nor expressions of self-identity. The Evangelicals don't care the country is asking, "What kind of Christians are Evangelicals?" Evangelicals are getting something out of this presidency and as the MAGA church's involvement proves, in other affairs, they love MONEY. President Grifter is probably giving kickbacks or promises of stature and power when he becomes a dictator or classless, royal-less king. He is allowing everyone to rape and ravage our country monetarily and by their lack of conforming to the Constitution. Side note: I am a Christian, and I don't get how the Right define loving others. This HOSTIL takeover of America goes against the New Testament. Christians are supposed to separate, distinguish themselves from the non-believer and LOVE is hateful bitter people can't give.

2 Corinthians or two Corinthians as Trump would say in 12:9, "...My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Evangelicals call themselves handling people in the name of God. They want supreme power and to make their enemies their footstool. No one wants to follow people like that accept like-minded people. Have I made it make sense yet?

Now, this conversation being had was in the back of a bus by only women of several races including the ringleader, a White woman. Voices lowered, afraid a MAGA radical is somewhere in the group, we try not to draw attention or be heard. They are disturbed shooters you know. They don't get deported for crime. They just disappear. But we were by and older graying White gentleman with a great smile. He turned looking at me from over his shoulder and said, "Very interesting conversation." I replied I hope not. Our eyes locked until we both understood our meaning between us. Turning around, he added. "Take things with a grain of salt. Listen to the facts." He must know something I don't know. But he didn't look like the tax bracket Trump cares about. Month by month, the poor are toppling as Trump, and his loyalists get rich off of taxpayer's money they no longer have to live comfortably. At least we knew our taxes were going to help the poor and starving. Now, we also know OUR going into Trump's pockets and used for kickbacks for loyalty. He's paying his servants under the table rewarding their loyalty with our TAXES. We're footing the bill for our own demise. Follow the money for truth

The Republican party has a 2025 playbook in full force (Project 2025). The problem is it doesn't include POOR people of brown people. The church, which can influence a large group to do what isn't even in the Bible, are no longer choosing brotherly love because their self-righteous allows them to forget they are sinners too and soon Trump will use it to get rid of them when they're no longer needed. He is promising the Right something in return for the power they give him. Chasing money and position causes them to do the unbiblical thing with pride. Men are feeling relevant again only if it is just fabricated, because continuously whine about the unavailability of jobs and women. Trump offers men macho-ness and the belief they are the only ones able to protect the country and women, chickens guarding foxes in my opinion. No, I do not hate men. Just ignorance.

America has always had to deal with a little hate from envious countries, but this hate is on another level where Americans are called uneducated and narcissistic. Eventually I had to tell the woman, listen yall have ten provinces and three territories, we have fifty state to learn. Yes, we have world history, and we learn the basics about other countries and people, so we have a lot to learn about our own country, but narcissistic was dead on. And she reminded me again; Canada is the fifty-first state.

I'm sure the MAGA men were happy, the conversation solidifying and legitimizing their America first ideology. They probably hate all Non-White immigrants in America and now can hate White people in other countries. Oregon has a lot of Russian immigrants. I'm sure they were like. "We give you all money and you talk about us like that." But not before Trump talked about America and other countries.  I have trepidation about traveling to foreign countries now. I'm hated in my homeland based on my skin color and culture and now hated because the uneducated voted for a clown. #HesUnfit. After the Right finishes hating and removing everyone, then what? Then the church will get another puppet and wait to rise again dictating to the poor and colored. Will our foreign allies welcome us back? Once trust is broken, it's hard to earn it back. The other countries have pride in their country and people, and we have one loud-mouthed president destroying everything America has stood for. Why? 

Our country was already great to the point Trump, and the Church wanted the power, status, and money politically by whatever manipulation needed, including blatantly lying, deceiving the deceivable. They want to tell us our moral standards and if we don't comply, we get disappeared, first losing our job, next by the National Guard which keeps getting called on to handle people they pick and choose and label for their most righteous outrage. What facts do they believe WE have? They are gaslighting experts. Trump's mouth is my facts, and no one can bully, intimidate, nor threaten me to believe lies as truths.
Right now, I hate Trump's America. Any truly patriotic person would want all of its people to be happy in every way. Trump is the opposite. He enjoys the process of diminishing people. Once they conform, he becomes the loving father to them. Compliments begin to fly filling their once respected and dignified selves, now replaced with CONSTANT LIES for them to repeat at nauseum. What is even sadder is none of them can stay out from in the front of cameras with their obvious lack of education and experience. It's their moment of fame and our moment of being put in our place of poverty. Don't worry. When they finish their tasks of chaos, Trump will find a way to disappear them too. Women know how the church has treated them and if going back to the Bible is any indicator, women will be relegated as only housewives, mothers, and wives. No more White House and hanging out with Christian political men. It's coming. Black people say they have never been accepted as American. Some White people still desire for Black Americans to go back to Africa. We're used to this kind of treatment people swear died with their slave owning ancestors. The cruelty is generational until with the help of God, is broken. 
It will be, as now, the poor White man who is vocal every chance he gets to say the daily talking points of the Right. Soon, his health insurance will be worthless, unemployment rates and job availability with cause his slow downfall. It will be the White man wishing he was White enough to enjoy White privileges (the set of unearned societal advantages, benefits, and entitlements that white people receive solely because of their race in a society characterized by racial inequality). The men who believed they were part of the rich White club will be in for a rude awakening. Trump only fools with you if there is a chance to be enriched monetarily.

It's sad because the people I speak of are already bitter and angry, and when Trump leaves them behind and lumps them in with black and brown people, they will become dangerous. Instead of calling Donald Trump president, we should just call him chaos maker and the man who caused a superpower to fall, just like the Russia has from its glory days of being known as the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR). Trump nor Putin minds fake or false admiration, toadyism or excessive flattery used to gain an advantage is sycophancy like the mint tried to do offering to put Trump's image on the one-dollar coin. Kings do that don't they?
The gist of this blog is to let everyone know for sure, without a doubt, we are no longer America the Great under the hands of President Trump, but America the hated and not enough of brainwashing and lies can change that. Those with eyes let them see. Those with ears let them hear. And I'm not going to let our shared hate keep me from traveling. Maybe London and France next. my daughter says I should not talk while taking a trip. It always leads to ruffled feathers. A man can turn around in his seat, butt into a private conversation between women, and imply I don't listen to or recognize facts is BOLD. Why must I struggle to NOT say a word about this political/constitutional crisis to people who are offending me and are oblivious to their accepted racisms. They have no qualm repeating the talking points of the day given out on Fox News first thing in the morning. No, silence allows this mess to continue. MAGA know they are bullying others in a Christian way. I hope in their daily chats with God they can say why they are menacing His children. Heaven won't have illegal immigrants but will have the rainbow of every skin color. Heaven, to my understanding, isn't a White country club.

A joke circulating on social media says, "Black people quick to invite White people to a cookout but don't mind never being invited to the country club."

 Have you ever heard about karma? More than likely, you have. The definition of karma, (in Hinduism and Buddhism) the sum of a person's actions in this and previous states of existence, viewed as deciding their fate in future existences. But for those who have been mistreated, usually emotionally, they have the satisfaction of believing, karma will get them for their wrong action or actions. Karma is the big buff brother who got wind of their little brother or sister being mistreated and opens a can of whoop***.

That is what most of us believe karma is. Our own personal avenger who will balance the scales not allowing evil or bad people win. But evil and bad people always win. They are winners. 
History has long documented the exploits of evil people. How they bend laws, break laws, ignore laws, or make the laws to benefit them and silence any opposition allowing them to remain in power. That has been a winning strategy for centuries. The more power a person has, sadly, the more corrupt or evil they may become to keep it. In this case, it is not an individual causing harm within the bounds of personal relationships. We are talking about a certain group of people who throughout history has been recorded as committing atrocities against humanity. If it is documented, factual, a particular group of people are prone to do evil on a large scale, then it must also be documented that this group of people have been brought to justice, or at least some cruel fate equal to what they have dished out, right? No. This particular group of people seem to always land on their feet and never have their scales balanced. History seems to PROVE they are untouchable winners. But we know better.

I know you're on pins and needles wanted to know who makes up this particular group and how are they getting away with almost genocides of their fellowman. IF, you know your true history, then you know. It is not a secret. Pretty much the opposite. This group makes it clear they believe they are superior to other races, ethnic groups. They let you know subtlety or violently, that they are top dog. Okay. Let me share one or two of their greatest hits and see if you know the group.

The transatlantic slave trade resulted in a vast and as yet unknown loss of life for African captives both in and outside the Americas. Estimates have ranged from as low as 2 million to as high 60 million. Patrick Manning estimates that about 12 million slaves entered the Atlantic trade between the 16th and 19th centuries, but about 1.5 million died on board ship. About 10.5 million slaves arrived in the Americas. Besides the slaves who died on the Middle Passage, more Africans likely died during the slave raids and wars in Africa and forced marches to ports. Manning estimates that 4 million died inside Africa after capture, and many more died young. Manning's estimate covers the 12 million who were originally destined for the Atlantic, as well as the 6 million destined for Arabian slave markets and the 8 million destined for African markets. Of the slaves shipped to the Americas, the largest share went to Brazil and the Caribbean.

The Kalinago genocide was the genocidal massacre of an estimated 2,000 Kalinago people by English and French settlers on the island of Saint Kitts in 1626.
From 1885 to 1908, the Congo Free State in central Africa was privately controlled by Leopold II, the second King of the Belgians from the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, who extracted a fortune from the land by the use of forced labor of natives. Under his regime, there were 2 to 15 million deaths among the Congolese people. Deliberate killings, abusive punishments, and general exploitation were major causes of the deaths. As in the colonisation of the Americas, European diseases, hitherto unknown in the region, also led to a considerable number of deaths. Because the main motive for the killings was financial gain, it has been debated whether the term genocide describes these atrocities well.

Ben Kiernan wrote in his book Blood and Soil: A World History of Genocide and Extermination from Sparta to Darfur on the French conquest of Algeria, that within three decades of the French conquest of Algeria in 1830, war, genocidal massacres, and famine had reduced the original population from 3 million by a figure ranging from 500,000 to 1,000,000.

The Maji Maji Rebellion (GermanMaji-Maji-AufstandSwahiliVita vya Maji Maji), was an armed rebellion of Africans against German colonial rule in German East Africa. The war was triggered by German colonial policies which were designed to force the indigenous population to grow cotton for export. The war lasted from 1905 to 1907, during which 75,000 to 300,000 died, overwhelmingly from famine. The end of the war was followed by a period of famine, known as the Great Hunger (ukame), caused in large part by the scorched-earth policies used by governor von Götzen to suppress the rebellion. These tactics have been described by scholars as genocidal.

Identified as the first genocide of the 20th century,  the Herero and Namaqua peoples of present-day Namibia endured a genocidal persecution between 1904 and 1907 while their homeland was under colonial rule as German South West Africa. Large percentages of their populations perished in a brutal scorched earth campaign led by German General Lothar von Trotha. An estimated 10,000 Nama were killed, with estimates for the Herero ranging from 60,000 and 100,000. Historian Leonor Faber-Jonker highlights how genocidal violence in German South-West Africa was built up to with ever more eterminatory wars during the late 19th century.

According to historian David Stannard, over the course of more than four centuries "from the 1490s into the 1890s, Europeans and white Americans engaged in an unbroken string of genocide campaigns against the native peoples of the Americas." Stannard writes that the native population had been reduced savagely by invasions of European plague and violence and that by around 1900 only one-third of one percent of America's population—250,000 out of 76,000,000 people–were natives. He calls it "the worst human holocaust the world had ever witnessed", and it leveled off because "there was, at last, almost no one left to kill."

The Beothuks attempted to avoid contact with Europeans in Newfoundland by moving from their traditional settlements, into ecosystems unable to support them, causing under-nourishment and, eventually, starvation. The Beothuks' main food sources were caribou, fish, and seals; their forced displacement deprived them of two of these. This led to the over-hunting of caribou, leading to a decrease in the caribou population in Newfoundland. The Beothuks emigrated from their traditional land and lifestyle, attempting to avoid contact with Europeans, into ecosystems unable to support them, causing under-nourishment and, eventually, starvation.

Beginning in 1874 and lasting until 1996, the Canadian government, in partnership with the dominant Christian Churches, ran 130 residential boarding schools across Canada for Aboriginal children, who were forcibly taken from their homes. Over the course of the system's existence, about 30% of native children, or roughly 150,000, were placed in residential schools nationally; at least 6,000 of these students died while in attendance.

During British rule in India, Mike Davis argues in his book Late Victorian Holocausts that quote; "Millions died, not outside the 'modern world system', but in the very process of being forcibly incorporated into its economic and political structures. They died in the golden age of Liberal Capitalism; indeed many were murdered...by the theological application of the sacred principles of Smith, Bentham, and Mill." Davis characterises the Indian famines under the British Raj, such as the Great Bengal famine of 1770 or the Great Famine of 1876-78 which took over 15 million lives as "colonial genocide"

Many crimes were done in the name of acquiring new lands and to spread religion. The group I have been giving you hints about continue to use religion to carry out their evil agendas. Today's evangelicals tend to support deportation of illegal aliens in inhumane ways, support the education system teaching what they deem fit and positive towards them, and now, trying to defund major universities for being anti-sematic. John Hagee states with pride God will punish those who speak ill or does not stand with Isreal. Today he warned Russia, Iran, Egypt, and two other countries that God would have revenge on those who go agaist Israel. The verse "I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you" is found in Genesis 12:3 in the New King James Version (NKJV). It's a promise God makes to Abraham, and it signifies a special relationship between God and those who show favor to Abraham's descendants, the Israelites. The right reverend Hagee makes it clear, speak against Israel and you are kicked out of Christendom. 

Examples history has documented regarding using religion for evil.

Wars of Religion: European wars like the Thirty Years War (ranked 17th among the 100 worst atrocities with 7.5 million deaths) and the French Wars of Religion (ranked 30th with 3 million deaths) involved religious differences as a major factor.

The Crusades: These medieval religious wars involved significant violence and loss of life in the name of religious objectives.

Religious Persecution: Instances of persecution against Christians, Jews, Muslims, and other religious groups have occurred throughout history, including the persecution of Christians during the Roman Empire and the persecution of Coptic Christians under various Muslim regimes in Egypt.

Forced Conversions: These practices, often accompanied by violence, have been documented across different historical periods and religious contexts. 

The relationship between religion and violence, including crimes against humanity, is complex and spans centuries. Religion has been invoked to justify atrocities and persecution for years. It is a tool of power and control and has been implemented not in service of a people but to make the people fearful and compliant. When all else fails, religion will be used as psychological warfare with your soul in danger of eternal damnation. Religion allows for others to be called uncivilized, ignorant, and damned. Religion makes it more acceptable to treat the 'ungodly' with contempt and disrespect.
The good thing about religion is, if you look deeper, it is the marginalized it reaches out to with love.

But I digress. What about Karma? Have those who history has recorded as wicked in deeds received their up-and-comings? Does karma do it's thing?

In the Bible there is End Time prophecy. Anytime anyone brushes against Israel, we are nearing Armagedón. In the book of Revelation, the author tells us about a place called Gog and Magog.  In the Bible, Gog and Magog are mentioned in Ezekiel and Revelation, often associated with end-times prophecyEzekiel 38-39 describes Gog, a leader from the land of Magog, leading a vast army against Israel in the "latter days". Revelation 20:7-9 depicts Gog and Magog as nations deceived by Satan at the end of the Millennium, battling against the saints before being defeated. 

Why is this particular area important? Because this is where a certain group will meet their Karma.

Many interpretations place Gog and Magog somewhere inside the Soviet Republics including Russia, 
the Caucasus, and Central Asia, particularly areas around the Black and Caspean Sea.
