The beast is the global
one-world order
Unacceptable in the
media
To the Editor:
“And I stood upon the
sand of the sea, and I saw
a beast rise up out of the
sea, having seven heads
and ten horns…And they
worshiped the dragon
which gave power into the
beast: and they worshiped
the beast, saying, Who is
like unto the beast? Who
is able to make war with
him? (Revelation 13:1a,4)
The beast is the rising
global one world order that
is manipulating the Covid
pandemic to bring every
country in the world under
lockdown control. The sev-
en heads are the rulers and
the ten horns are the ten
global economic and polit-
ical divisions of the beast
world global system. The
rulers of the beast system
are changing and flaunt-
ing historic ordinances and
laws (constitutions) to ex-
ercise power (mandates) to
deny liberty and freedom
to the citizens of the earth.
Who is like unto the
beast? The beast controls
the governments of the
world: “all the world won-
dered (marveled) after the
beast.” (Rev. 13:3b) This
is why the national me-
dia, Google, Facebook,
the CDC, WHO, FDA, Dr
Fauci, Obama/ Biden Ad-
ministration and Democrat
governors all support the
beast driven Covid lock-
downs, mandated vaccines,
facemasks, and coming to-
talitarian control.
The dragon that gives
power to the beast is Satan.
Satan has deceived the
kingdoms of the world “to
make war with the saints.“
(Rev. 13:7a) The citizens
of the world, primarily
Christians, are in a war for
survival, yet only a rem-
nant understand and have
ears to hear. Covid-19 is a
man-made “gain of func-
tion” virus manipulated in
Wuhan China under the
direction of Dr. Fauci and
the Chinese government.
The world is in lockdown
whether they have Covid
deaths (New Zealand 50,
Australia less than 1,000)
or not. The beast media
system has relentlessly and
daily manufactured world
Covid fear and panic to
produce our current world
police state.
The CDC’s own web-
site documents the decep-
tion. The survival rate of
Covid-19: 0-19 (99.997%),
20-50 (99.98%), 50-69
(99.5%), 70 above (95%).
The beast system in Amer-
ica will fire any govern-
To the editor:
Back when I was an
undergraduate at Eastern
Oregon College I need-
ed a humanities course to
graduate. Journalism for
journalism students fit my
schedule so I took it.
The other students
thought I was a journalism
major. Halfway through
the term they decided to
help this poor ignorant
country bumpkin. A group
of them came to me and
said: "Dick, you need to
change your major. You
are a conservative and a
Christian and there is no
way you can get a job in

herbicides during service may be eligible for

If you or a loved one served in Vietnam, the
Korean demilitarized zone or another area where
Agent Orange was sprayed, they may be eligible

and May 7, 1975.

ment, medical, teacher,
private business employ-
ees, etc. in beast-controlled
states ( in Oregon D day
is Oct. 18, 21) that refuse
a Covid-19 flu shot. The
lockdowns, business clo-
sures, terminated essen-
tial employees, will cause
more deaths and citizen an-
guish than the man-made
Covid pandemic. 19 Re-
publican governed states
in America have issued
executive orders to ban
Covid-19 mandated shots.
Florida will fine any busi-
ness that requires proof of
Covid vaccination. Amer-
ica has become a nation
divided. Dedicated, highly
trained, highly educated,
skilled professionals will
be forced and/or fired from
essential public and private
vocations because of dra-
conian flu shot mandated
inoculations. Inoculations
that Israel has document-
ed to be 39% effective.
Inoculations that the Mayo
Clinic (August 11, 21) has
documented to be 42%
effective. Covid flu shots
that the FDA has yet to
document the ingredients.
This is exactly what
happened in Nazi Ger-
many. Compliance to this
beast system will only
bring more mandates,
more lockdowns, more
tyranny. In Morrow Coun-
ty we must support our
teachers, medical workers
and others that will not
compromise their health
or convictions to take this
mandated jab. Even those
that have taken the shot
will be sooner or later
mandated to take the com-
ing boosters or new variant
shots. There is no excuse
for any Morrow Coun-
ty executive to terminate
even one of our essential
and dedicated employees. I
exhort the county court and
city governments to stand
against this outrage against
our very own citizens. We
must stand united against
any and all that would de-
stroy our way of life and
God granted liberty.
Put your trust in God,
the God of our forefathers
that we have forsaken as a
nation. It is never too late
to return, repent and seek
forgiveness.

A conservative is
someone who believes
in the original American
Dream of freedom to wor-
ship God, raise a family,
and earn a living without
government interference.
A Christian is honor bound
to tell the truth in all situ-
ations. Apparently, those
things are unacceptable in
the mainstream news me-
dia.
That was 1962. Look
what has been hired by the
mainstream media for
the last 59 years.

Liberty, fear and
freedom
To the Editor:
I have thought a great
deal about the current situ-
ation we are in, as a com-
munity, and as a nation.
What I would like to put
out there is not details or
debate about COVID, the
illness or the vaccination,
but more of what needs
spoken of in our conversa-
tions and our life as well as
taught to our children and
our grandchildren.
We have all been
through difficult times
over the last (almost two
years). In some form or
fashion, this virus has af-
fected us all. What I want
to address is the subject of
liberty, fear and freedom.
Not only our freedom but
also the freedom of our
children, grandchildren,
neighbors, friends, and
family.
With fear there is no
freedom, there is no liber-
ty. Thomas Jefferson stat-
ed, “When the people fear
their government, there is
tyranny; when the gov-
ernment fears the people,
there is liberty.” He goes
on to say, “If people let
government decide which
foods they eat and medi-
cines they take, their bod-
ies will soon be in as sor-
ry a state as are the souls
of those who live under
tyranny.” “The greatest
danger to American free-
dom is a government that
ignores the Constitution”.
What I challenge all
who read this is to stand
against fear, and to feel
confident to stand for what
is right, to not allow our
rights, our freedoms, and
our choices to be taken
away. If we lose our free-
doms, we will not get them
back. Does this directly
affect us here in our small
communities? Yes indeed.
There is no safe place if
our freedoms are taken
away.
President Lincoln said
in his Gettysburg address,
“…the government of the
people, by the people, for
the people, shall not perish
from the earth.” We now
have a President that ad-
dresses the nation with “…
It is not about freedom, it is
not about personal choice.”
However, it should be, that
is our right. I have heard
people say, “Let’s just get
this over with, it is no big
deal and I just want things
to go back to normal.” I
am sorry to say if we lose
our freedom, our person-
al choice, we will never
go back to what we had.
Once the government real-
izes how easy it was to ma-
nipulate through fear, there
will be a next step, and a
next…
You may think that
I am anti-COVID or an-
ti-vaccination. I am not.
There is a virus and my
stance has always been, if
you want to wear a mask,
wear a mask. If you want to
get the vaccination, please
do. If you do not want to
get the vaccination, that
is your choice. I hold no
ill will either way. What
I believe is that we should
have a choice. We should
not be forced (threatened)
to get a vaccine. Lastly, be
kind to each other, support
each other, and stand with
each other. Remember,
we hold these truths to be
self-evident, that all men
are created equal, that they
are endowed by their Cre-
ator with certain unalien-
able Rights, that among
these are Life, Liberty and
the pursuit of Happiness.
That to secure these rights,
Governments are instituted
among Men, deriving their
just powers from the gov-
erned.
