I had my awakening during the plandemic. When I started to dig, I found many newspaper articles online announcing that the State was handing out huge amounts of money to faith-based charities under the banner of “Covid relief”. But I’d heard enough accounts about Public Relations narrative sculpting training, to know there was more to the story. Then I found a blog by a small church which did not have the writing skill to cloak the pitch that the State had made to them – so they pretty much repeated it word-for-word on their own blog – right there out in public. It went something like this: “Many people don’t trust the government or big business/pharma. But they trust us as their faith leaders. If we tell them to take the jab, they’ll listen – because we have built a relationship of trust with them over many years – which can now be leveraged.”
Upon realizing what was going on, I then began to make public information requests to establish whether my church had also taken the bribe money. I knew my church would never tell me. So I had to go to the other side of the transaction. I have never been given such a run-around in my life. They broke every rule in the book not to answer my question. And by not answering it, they answered it.
As for your next point, I agree that financial corruption is not necessarily linked to serious sexual crime. But I would say that time preference plays a role in both. If you train your brain to succumb to your short-term desire in one area in life, it’s potentially going to let you down in other areas too. I agree that the impact of time preference predates fiat money.
As for your next point, I don’t know enough yet to say that EVERY church has a “central figure” that has “unquestioned interpretive power”. I’m still fact-finding. It’s a slow and difficult process and life has other demands.
I agree that power corrupts imperfect people.
Thank you for taking the time to respond to me and for challenging my statements. It helps me think clearer.
I wonder what https://iris.to/drjeff@NostrVerified.com would say
