We have seen firsthand how committed and passionate Melissa has been in support of Mor- row County. She works very hard to represent all the people of this coun- ty. Melissa first served on the Morrow County Plan- ning commission for many years. Her dedication led to running and being elected for Morrow County Judge. She has twice been elected by the State’s County Com- missioners for treasurer on the Association of Oregon Counties and is being ap- pointed to Oregon’s Local Officials Advisory Com- mittee. She has always given her time and served on many boards and com- mittees such as: -Local Public Safety Advisory -Greater Eastern Or- egon Economic Develop- ment -Community Action Program of Eastern Oregon, -Eastern Oregon Wom- en’s Coalition, -Morrow County Cul- tural Collation, -Lower Umatilla Ba- sin Ground Water Quality Management, -Community Counsel- ing Solutions. As you can see Melissa works to keep herself edu- cated and involved on ever changing issues and how they will affect us locally. We hope you will join us in voting to reelect Me- lissa Lindsay for Morrow County Commissioner.

The Great Reset To the editor: At the end of our age, Bible prophecy articulates an amazing revelation of events. “But thou, O Dan- iel, shut up thy words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowl- edge shall be increased… Many shall be purified and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wicked- ly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.” (Daniel 12:4, 10) The world as histori- cally understood will un- ravel at the end of the age. Western democracies are now ruled by emergency decrees, not historic liber- ty based on Constitution- al freedom going back to the Magna Carta in Great Britain. The COVID pan- demic has been planned by the elite rulers of the New World Order to estab- lish political and economic control of virtually every nation on planet earth. The purpose of these worldwide lockdowns and liberty erod- ing mandates is to set the table for the “Great Reset.” These tables of the Great Reset: “unfettered immi- gration, travel restrictions for otherwise legal border crossing, the Federal Re- serve unrestrained printing of money (worldwide) and subsequent inflation, in- creased taxation, increased dependence on the state, broken supply chains, the restrictions and job losses due to vaccine mandates, and the prospect of per- sonal carbon allowanc- es.” (Michael Rectenwald, Hillsdale College, Dec. 21) The world is inevitably advancing toward a digital electronic cashless money system (President Biden 4/10/22) where the govern- ments of the world will be able to monitor and police every financial transaction. “Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent and he shall know them?” (Hosea 14:9) The “Great Reset” is contingent on what the elite N.W.O. autocrats call the Fourth Industrial Rev- olution- or 4-IR for short. The 4-IR marks the “con- vergence of existing and emerging fields, including Big Data, artificial intelli- gence, machine learning, quantum computing, ge- netics, nanotechnology, and robotics.” (Rectenwald, op. cit.) The 4-IR is the defini- tion of “knowledge shall business cards envelopes checks letterheads forms mailers Sykes Publishing • 188 W Willow St, Heppner • 541-676-9228 • david@rapidserve.net increase.” (Dan. 12:4) The wise and prudent under- stand the 4-IR knowledge will include internet algo- rithms that will: 1) feed users prescribed news, 2) eliminate censored infor- mation, 3) consign those that resist to internet jail, 4) search by ‘keyword’ for dis- sidents, 5) track and trace COVID and digital viola- tions, 6) government police to identify the non-compli- ant, 7) smart cities where residents are monitored, surveilled and recorded, and 8) data collection (Am- azon centers) where every word, action, deed is col- lected, stored and collated for your digital identity and social credit score. The 4-IR social credit score and digital identity has been perfected in China. COVID emergency and digital man- dates are being implement- ed in order to bring China style Marxist Communism to America (if we continue to capitulate) and the rest of the world under the banner of progressivism. “The 4-IR seeks to accelerate the merging of humans and machines, re- sulting in a world in which all information, includ- ing genetic information is shared, and every action, thought, and motivation is known, predicted and possi- ble precluded. Unless taken out of the hands of corpo- rate-socialist technocrats, the 4-IR will eventually lead to a virtual and ines- capable prison of body and mind.” (Rectenwald, op. cit.) China has perfected the credit/social score, digital identity virtual prison for its imprisoned citizens and this beast system is spreading like a metastasized cancer throughout the world with Austria, Australia and New Zealand next in line. The book of Revela- tion describes the 4-IR as the ‘beast system’ that “would both speak, and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he caused all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in his right hand, or in their foreheads.” Rev. 13: 15b,16) The wise and pru- dent have been forewarned to avoid the coming 4-IR beast world system. “By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world and became heir to the righteousness which is by faith.” (Hebrews 11:7) Those that have faith and prepare to endure to the end will have the knowledge and power to prevail against this ‘beast system.’ (Matt. 24:13) Stuart Dick, Irrigon
