Support Lindsay for
commissioner
To the editor;
We are writing in sup-
port of Melissa Lindsay
for Morrow County Com-
missioner. 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.
Sincerely,
Lori and Wayne Seitz

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

checks

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)
