Leaving Egypt Ministries, Obadiah D. Morris

Though one would think it would be quite obvious at this point in history that “governments” are plunder schemes set up by a group of criminals who knowingly use the political means of force to bend others to their will, there are many people who still only see greatness and glory in Babylonian systems. They think, as a prophet had put it, that these systems are “full of wisdom” and “perfect in beauty” (Ezekiel 28:12). We see this same sentiment every time the statists tell us how “great” their country is, how “we have the most powerful military in the world,” or how the next president is going to “save” us.

They have bought into the lies of statist, collectivist systems (socialism, democracy) that claim so-called “governments” are necessary social institutions for the administration of the “needs of society” (which are now to be determined by the sword). They have fallen for the lies that evil is somehow “necessary.”

Though it would seem to us patently obvious that so-called “governments” are groups of men who are intentionally conspiring against the rest of the people to gain power, control, and resources for themselves, many people still want to think that their actions are all done in the name of society (the “common good” for socialists who know it, or “we the people” for socialists unaware). They believe that our political slavery is actually freedom.

Conservatives, just as much as any other socialists, are still fooled by Pharaoh’s tricks that “we need to get back to the constitution,” that “this is a government of the people,” that “the police are servants of the public not the other way around,” that “we’ll fix this system on the next election day,” etc. They have bought into the ideas that we ought to be voting and out trying to reform Babylon (eg., “Make America Great Again”). The only difference between a Republican and an avowed socialist (besides that one doesn’t even know they’re a socialist and the other does) is that they (as “constitutionalists”) say the socialist system of statism is “we the people” instead of just “the collective.” 

The evils of statism are so deep that its adherents will go to any low to defend their false god, even considering it a “necessary evil” after seeing how heinous it is. And even if no State on earth can be cited as an example of some “people’s state” or “godly state,” they will still cling to the theory—they will hold out their faith in their false god—that “not all states and kings are evil though…some could be good.” Indeed, few statists are ever content with the current government, but they remain statists and hold out the hope that it can one day, somehow, come to serve them. The Marxists were even able to appear as if they were anarchists at times for how opposed to any given government they were, which they saw as “capitalist governments.” But they didn’t abandon socialism. If these could be made into “socialist governments” (all governments are inherently socialist), then they would be on board. Conservatives are no different. They will rail against any current “democrat” president but still believe in the system in general, in theory, and in hope.

The conspiratorial nature of statism

But there is a problem even among many of those (eg, libertarians) who can bring themselves to admit to the negative outcomes of violent state intervention. They will often stop short of seeing the conspiracy and deliberate plunder of it all. While they may agree that government intervention can’t really do anything good, they often miss seeing that we’re ruled by men whose plunder schemes are ancient and who operate on agendas. They opt to believe that we’re just ruled by mere fools who don’t know any better and just ignorantly launch policies that are bound to fail, when in reality those policies indeed achieve the objectives they desire (if not the ostensible reasons given to the public to get them to accept them). Thus, for an economist to tell the policymakers that they will cause unemployment or rising prices from their actions forgets that this is what they want. The economist might say that minimum wage laws or rounds of monetary inflation “won’t achieve their stated aims” (which, publicly, are of course said to benefit the people). But from the perspective of the conspirators who launch them, they very much achieve the ends they sought.

We saw this even during the elites’ Operation Covid-19, where their “policies” were treated more so as unworkable actions that wouldn’t achieve their stated objectives (as if these men are ignorant rather than evil), more so than the real case, that these people know their policies and “science” are lies but use them to advance their cause of tightening their yoke on the people they wish to rule. We were told “masks don’t work,” as if they men who wanted the sheep in masks actually thought they did. We were told “the vaccines don’t work,” as if the evil men who wanted to shoot billions of people up with poison actually believed they did. We were told “6 feet is an arbitrary distance to stay away from men,” as if the “experts” actually thought there was science behind it. Etc.

Denial of the conspiracy

But men struggle to believe that nationwide, or even global, schemes can be carried out by men who indeed hatched them up in secret and planned and plotted in advance. One common reaction to the assertion that statist plunder societies and their specific schemes (World Wars, 9/11, Operation Covid) are necessarily conspiratorial is to say “there’s no way they could pull off something like that without someone exposing them or everyone catching on,” or “how could millions of people be fooled?”

Men have been unable to accept that the popular, epochal events throughout history have been the work of men who dead set on ruling others, more than they were random accidents. A scheme of society-wide proportions seems to be too much for a small group of men to get over on the rest of the people. How can a minority elite get one over on everyone else?

Furthermore, this reality conflicts with the statism in men, ie., their belief that States are beneficial and morally legitimate. They don’t want to admit to the conspiratorial nature of statism (and thus the history of the world) because it conflicts with the happy and comfortable belief that Pharaohs have our best interests in mind and that Egypt was set up for our “protection.” They don’t want to confront the idea that there are men who “conceive mischief and bring forth iniquity” (Isaiah 59:4). When will they ever open their eyes to it? “How long will fools hate knowledge?” (Proverbs 1:22).

People mostly disagree with the assessment of their beloved masters—not in the least because the State is their false god—when it is suggested that the rulers are engaged in an active conspiracy against people, property, liberty, and the kingdom of God in general.

The conspiracy in the scriptures

But as the word of God shows us through and through, there are wicked men out there—the technocrats who make “public health” policy, politicians who decree “laws” from above, “law enforcement” agents who carry out their decrees, judges who stamp their approval on bogus charges and send non-violent men to prisons, etc—who have set up their systems to prey on others, set traps for them, and ensnare them into their systems.

“The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth” (Psalm 37:12). 

They hide in the dark looking for speeders, for men freely traveling without Pharaoh’s papers, to manufacture criminal charges they can come up with, and find people they can carry to the county jails. 

We’re preyed upon by the statists, from their lowly police predators to the men at the top who make the commands. 

“The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him” (Psalm 37:32)

We’re surrounded by men walking in the wicked path and scooping up God’s children and attempting to destroy them. 

“For I hear the slander of many; there is terror on every side. They conspire against me and plot to take my life” (Psalm 31:13). 

This is what these men do for their “work.” They drive plunderous police vehicles, work at the extortion courts, man the cages at the county jail, and they run the banks, the governments, the NGOs, the think tanks, the universities, the media, and every important center of power. Coming up with ways to extort humanity and control them is their full-time job. 

“Those who seek my life lay snares; those who wish me harm speak destruction, plotting deceit all day long” (Psalm 38:12). 

Prayer 

Our Lord in heaven, we have been stalked by the kingdoms of men and we need your aid more than ever today. Please be watching over us, keeping us straight, and the enemy away. We know this is how good you are, God: “You hide [us] in the secret place of Your presence from the schemes of men. You conceal [us] in Your shelter from accusing tongues” (Psalm 31:20). 

The masses

What most people think about the State—that it’s here to protect us, to provide law and order, to help poor people, to exist as a benign social tool for selfless nice-guys to administer the needs of society—is entirely at odds with reality. The masses don’t want to accept that they’re living under a global political scheme to steal, kill, and destroy everything they can get away with. 

Our people have been trained—the sin in their hearts was ripe for exploitation however—to believe that so-called “governments” are benevolent forces for “public good.” They think that Egypt’s army is for “freedom,” Pharaoh’s footmen fight the criminals and bring us “law and order,” the judges of Pharaoh’s court are there for “justice,” etc. And if they are ever even able to see when these men destroy something, it is thought to be an accident, coincidence, or anomaly from their normal course of do-goodism.

Incompetence or evil?

Thus, when it becomes more obvious that the satanic system of statism is here to steal, kill, and destroy, and they are under fire for having brought problems to society, most men think that these problems (they usually can’t even go this far) are at worst only the result of incompetence. (To think that governments were at least incompetent, if not conspiratorial, would however be a welcome advancement in the thinking of the average person, who doesn’t even think that governments make things worse for society, but that they are a bunch of do-gooders with the best intentions in mind who are positive benefit to society). They just messed things up but didn’t mean to! (Yeah, right).

But even worse, any one of Pharaoh’s slaves who may get close to seeing the cracks in Egypt’s foundation is likely to think that it wasn’t a necessary buckling of the system, but that it could be sealed up with a few more “laws,” a few more “law enforcement” officers, a few more horses and chariots, or when the next Pharaoh comes. They won’t admit that these man-made “laws,” the evil agents who enforce them, and the statist society itself work to destroy liberty and wealth in an attempt to substitute the military-police state society for a society whose foundation and maker is the Lord. 

So, many people still assume that politicians are still well-intentioned men who, even if things don’t turn out right, are thought to just be “screw ups” who made mistakes and errors, rather than men who are deliberately scheming against people. (The conspiring nature of statism is true, by the way, from a global scale all the way down to county- and town-level plundering). If only they would have had better “science” in 2020 (I guess they assume), they wouldn’t have enacted such bad policies.

Many simply find it hard to believe that there are men in powerful places who are pulling the strings on humanity and scheming against their liberty and property. They don’t believe that the men who rule over us have not set up political systems for the administration of society (a front used to give the State a “public good” image) but are here indeed to plunder people: to make human decrees against them, to tax them, to control them, and to dominate them in every way.

These men are plunderers who take us for all we’re worth. 

“They covet fields and seize them; they take away houses. They deprive a man of his home, a fellow man of his inheritance” (Micah 2:2). 

This is a view held by those who don’t want to admit that their false god is not actually some benevolent agent of “public good,” but a monster. 

There are even many libertarians and other proponents of free economies who unfortunately believe that governments are more so an incompetent group of men rather than a gang of thieves who conspire against the rest of the people. They still suggest that “if only” these men would “just read an economics book,” they would—this is laughable to those of us who know of the conspiracy—stop being plunderers. They (supposedly) wouldn’t support these policies if they just knew economics! (We see this idea endlessly from libertarian organizations who assume that the problem with government agents and policymakers is that they’re just economically illiterate or insufficiently informed on such matters). While seeing the failures of government as being one of mismanagement and perpetual incompetence might be a welcome advancement from not seeing the problems at all and thinking that the state is virtually “lord” and “savior,” this view—that governments are run by good guys with bad ideas—does not give us a truthful picture of our world.

We are ruled, rather, by bad guys with bad ideas, not just well-intentioned men who just can’t get the job done and ruin everything anyway because they didn’t have enough economic knowledge the make the right decisions that they supposedly would have made if they did. And we are certainly not ruled by good guys with good ideas — an insane position that hundreds of millions of men still believe in. 

Egypt is intentional plundering, not a failure to manage societies and economies after a good-intentioned effort to do so. It is an evil system of destroying people, property, families, communities, lives, farms, houses, food, businesses, production, wealth, money, capital, trade, etc. It is staffed by men who are serving the evil one.

Although they still walk blindly and many of them kid themselves about their reconciliation with God, Pharaoh, his lawmakers, law enforcers, and footmen, are not purely fools; they are doing evil and walking in the path of the wicked. They came for a share of the power, prestige, and plunder — for the badge of authority, the legal immunity to hurt people and commit crimes, the hero-officer award, the praise of men, the blue-line brotherhood, the gang membership, and the stolen paycheck. They know they have signed up to serve the beast. And they love it. They may vainly put “In God We Trust” on the vehicles that they use to kidnap and murder men from, but it’s all a lie; they trust in the “god” of this world and dutifully serve evil by crushing those who come against them.

Men have been so wrapped up in the scheme themselves—as beneficiaries of the regime or just bystanding idolaters who are happily robbed for it—that they haven’t even been able to see it. They have thought, as the “intellectual” class has told them, that all things are normal in Egypt when they’re, in fact, upside down and backwards.

Propaganda

Part of our battle then is that there have always been propagandists—that’s right, there are “opinion moulders” who “teach” the people how to think—around to feed men the vain philosophies of men (e.g., socialism, democracy, or fascism) and turn them away from God and His word. (The academics and universities today are a modern, secular equivalent of Pharaoh’s court historians who write the narratives for the regime, keep the people from seeing its destruction of social order, tell them famine isn’t coming, or assure everyone that the Egyptian system is going to keep away the Assyrians rather than bring them in precisely as God’s judgment against such a wicked system). 

The problem showing anyone the kingdom of God has always been that evil statists stood in the way perverting truths and hiding from men the notions of harmony, peace, cooperation, and prosperity through a natural order absent of violent intervention, freely contracting and associating with others, freely trading, and in general obeying the Lord’s commandments to love God and our neighbors. On top of trying to lead me to the Lord, we have the fact that state propagandists have already long succeeded at brainwashing them into their evil schemes and apologizing for the regime of violence and lies.

They have believed in Pharaoh’s lies of freedom through militarism, “law and order” through police monopolies, as well as the usual “land of the free” and “best country ever” phrases of the empire. It’s hard for men who grew up under these slogans and notions to accept that they have been betrayed by the men who they thought were their saviors. 

No one wants to believe “their” beloved government would hurt them. The government is “we the people,” after all.

Most men reject what we may call the conspiracy theory of history—understanding history not as random events but as things carried out by men who were concocting them—and think that the events of the past and present are just accidents or coincidences in history. It cannot even begin to enter their minds these major, world-changing events—the great depressions, new deals, world wars, terrorist attacks, pandemics, and other things which we are to believe just “happened”—were conspiracies by some men to implement their systems of power, control, and plunder.  

The conspirators

Those who use propaganda to control societies, however, have always understood full-well that the masses are easily fooled by claims of “emergency,” “national threats,” or “public health crises.” This is how you get people to believe in “pandemics,” stay in their houses, wear masks in their cars alone, get in sheep lines, agree to leave their jobs, close down their churches, etc.

But is it true that the elites cannot get conspiracies over on millions of people—now billions considering the latest one was a coordinated effort by the global rulers—as a practical matter or without them knowing? The rulers themselves don’t seem to think so. 

Even though the masses may not be able to see a conspiracy against them, the conspirators themselves have always been well-aware of their abilities to deceive the masses and sucker millions of people into plunder schemes, death cults, human sacrifices, mass vaccination programs, prison camps, etc. 

Take it from Adolf Hitler, an expert propagandist himself, who considered it a timeless principle that the masses will fall for the schemes of the rulers with enough deception to go with it. In fact, contrary to those who think that political plunderers couldn’t possibly coordinate such a scheme against millions of people because it would be too elaborate or great of a lie, Hitler says it works better the bigger you go! 

I’ll leave you with this:

“In the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying. These people know only too well how to use falsehood for the basest purposes” (Hitler, Mein Kampf).
