“Nothing new under the sun (Ecclesiastes 1:9).”

See then ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.                   ~ Ephesians 5:15-17

Many if not most of my readers will recall the movie, The Manchurian Candidate, about a U.S. soldier who was set up in a battlefield psyop organized by corporate/globalists who manufactured the illusion of him heroically saving his men on the battlefield. In reality they were all completely brainwashed, with him being sent home as the Trojan Horse (Manchurian Candidate) groomed to occupy the White House as President with his own mother, a co-conspirator in the treacherous plot to overthrow our Constitutional Republic, as his handler.

That would be the extreme example of the handler, as a shepherd for the dark side. There are many shades from light to dark. Jesus would be the extreme example of the mentor, shepherding those in His care into the Light of Truth and eternal life. Generally speaking, the primary difference between mentor and handler is that the mentor serves the best interest of the one he mentors, while the handler serves interests other than those of the one he handles.

Recently, while working with a group of young folks, one of them revealed that he had been advised to steer clear of me by a certain rising star in the Republican Party because of my past association with Oath Keepers. This rising star would be a classic handler type. The fascinating irony of our culture war is that those of us committed to our oaths to the Constitution are shunned by those who are supposed to represent our interests in local, state, and national governments. When last I checked, violation of our state and federal Constitutions may benefit the hoards of illegal invaders the previous administration opened the floodgates to allow in, but the interests of law-abiding, tax-paying Americans are ill-served by representatives turned handlers. Handlers who, in many cases, are well-rewarded for serving interests other than ours…Big Pharma and AIPAC $$$ come to mind.

The photograph above was taken from a gift bag that contained the book, EVIDENCE That Demands a Verdict, Life-changing Truth For a Skeptical World, by Josh McDowell & Sean McDowell, PhD. It was a birthday gift from a pastor, friend, and classic mentor in that he has committed his life to lead me, and others like me to salvation. This was in May, and only yesterday I looked at it along with the expressed sentiment, and Lewis and Clark came to mind. I think its fair to say, and most of my readers would agree, that their contemporaries who served in government, as a breed, were godly men more concerned with salvation and posterity than their own self-interest, power, and control. They, with exceptions of course, actually viewed themselves as public servants. My readers would also agree that this has changed drastically and tragically…which is why so few of them were willing to sign our NY Public Servants Pledge in the last election. Here’s where the Wall of Jericho Relationship Triangle helps to shed light on the motives of the handlers versus mentors:

Remember the three things in life the tyrant needs to effectively neutralize, in order to seize absolute control over a population; God, family, and property. The WJRT deals with the first. The handler’s objective is to keep his subject’s time, energy, vision and goals focused on the horizontal plane, and OFF the vertical, other than a very shallow understanding that the vertical exists…whereas, the mentor’s objective is nearly the exact opposite. The primary focus of time, energy, vision, and goals is on the vertical while expressing the love of Christ on the horizontal. YUGE! Tyranny requires a divided population and rules by fear. The old world is crumbling around us, and there is nothing new under the sun my friends. Ditch the handlers, seek the mentors and good shepherds, and look up…I promise you strength and courage will follow!

For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain. ~ Isaiah 66:22
