I’m very patriotic and love my nation (people), with that said I know the deep state that govern my nation through puppets will destroy the nation. I believe our congress and senate are completely sold out to the deep state for the deep state has dirt on them, most appear to be accepting bribes. The deep state is the FBI, CIA and security services, etc.,
Including the churches which here in America are 501c3 corporate entities beholden to their boards instead of the Word of God. MacGregor is a good man.
Rodolfo..Church is to general of a word to use in the context of a deep state. I think a more narrowed definition should be used and the reader can separate it out and judge for themselves.
Definition: The Universal Church derives its definition from the baptizing ministry of the Holy Spirit. The key verse on this is 1 Cor. 12:13,”by one Spirit we are all baptized into one body.” We see from this passage that the church is like the physical manifestation of Christ, i.e., his body.
Other passages which use the same imagery are Rom. 12:4-5; 1 Cor. 12:11,18,27. The point in all of these passages seems to be that anyone who has experienced this baptism is automatically a member of the body of Christ.
WORDS USED FOR THE CHURCH IN THE NEW TESTAMENT
Church
The word translated “church” in the English Bible is ekklesia. This word is the Greek words kaleo (to call), with the prefix ek (out). Thus, the word means “the called out ones.” However, the English word “church” does not come from ekklesia but from the word kuriakon, which means “dedicated to the Lord.” This word was commonly used to refer to a holy place or temple. By the time of Jerome’s translation of the New Testament from Greek to Latin, it was customary to use a derivative of kuriakon to translate ekklesia. Therefore, the word church is a poor translation of the word ekklesia since it implies a sacred building, or temple. A more accurate translation would be “assembly” because the term ekklesia was used to refer to a group of people who had been called out to a meeting. It was also used as a synonym for the word synagogue, which also means to “come together,” i.e. a gathering. “Body of Christ” Since believers have been united with Christ through spiritual baptism, they are sometimes corporately referred to as the body of Christ. (Rom. 12:4-5; 1 Cor. 12:11,13,18,27; Col. 1:18; Eph. 5:30) The idea seems to be that the group of Christians in the world constitute the physical representation of Christ on earth. It is also a metaphor which demonstrates the interdependence of members in the church, while at the same time demonstrating their diversity from one another. (Rom. 12:4; 1 Cor. 12:14-17)
The Temple of God
(1 Cor. 3:16; Eph. 2:21,22; 1 Pet. 2:5).
The Jerusalem From Above or The Heavenly Jerusalem
(Gal. 4:26; Heb. 12:22). Both of these terms (as well as “temple”) illustrate how the Old Testament notions of outward sanctuary have been replaced with the literal dwelling of God in his people.
Bride of Christ or Christ’s Betrothed
(Eph. 5:25-32; 2 Cor. 11:2). These titles refer to the love and loyalty existing between Christ and believers.
From Tom Luongo – the Deep State is the European Generational Institutions of Wealth and Capital. Understanding the “Compound Effect” (rule of “72”) and the Bank of England was founded in 1694, well – just do the math.
Here is an interesting fact that I think isn’t thought about. Just Russia, today has over one an a half the population that Germany had in 1939. And I recall how effective the Germans were in those years until they made the error of invading the USSR. So to those that worry about Russia not having the population numbers for this struggle. They might ought to consider that .
Which I think goes along with another issue I brought up in another post. That Russia needs to be looking at names or groups of people in countries in the West that they will need to install in power when all this is finished. It should be obvious by now that Russia can no longer permit those border NATO aligned countries to be a threat to Russia’s survival under Russophobic leaders. So they will need to replace the Russia-haters with neutral or pro-Russian leaders. Just as was done after the last war throughout Eastern Europe.Though this time I would argue,that those replacements should not just include Eastern Europe. There might be a dividing line between bordering countries needing pro-Russian leaderships. And others having just neutral leaderships. But those two possibilities should be the only ones available for those states. A repeat of the current situation is just simply impermissible for the future,the threat is just too great for Russia and the World.
Biden states “the American People.” He should state truthfulness, “the Biden Administration.” A big difference in what is in the best interest of the “people” vs. “the government.”

+ elites, bankers, corporations and politicians on both sides…..
I do agree and you may add Bill Gates, George Soros, the Clinton’s and many many more..

One of the reasons for the end of the Vietnam war was the revolt of the US combat troops. Do a search for “fragging.”
Would you want to be the last solder to die in a war that would not be won?
