Cults, Tyrants, Lying Media, and RASN’s Have this in Common

But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate. (Genesis 3:4-6)

A very common tactic of evil is to use lies to instill fear in people whom that evil craves to control. The thing is Satanic, as you can see in the scripture quoted above. Satan lies and he does so not only to deceive, but to deceive and manipulate through fear.

This object of this fear, that is to say – the persons who this deception causes victims to fear – are the very people who have the welfare of the victim at heart. God, for example, forbade Adam and Eve from eating of that tree. And He did so for their good – so that they would know that life comes from obeying Him, and death from rebelling against Him. He created all things for their good.

Satan, knowing this, set out to brainwash Adam and Eve. He lied and convinced them that God did not have their welfare in mind, but in fact was keeping them back from something good. They fell for the deception and the rest is sad history.

This alienation of victims from those people who desire their welfare is a typical and fundamental tactic of the wicked. To alienate. To instill fear of the very people who should not be feared. That is why, for instance, the domestic abuser will very commonly work to alienate and distance the victim from friends and family. The abuser will perhaps move the family far away from the victim’s support group. He will strictly control all communication with those people. He will lie to the victim, working to convince her that he alone is to be trusted.

We have seen this evil mechanism at work in the political arena. Lying people who crave power and control work energetically through their propaganda media to convince their target that a virtual apocalypse will take place if the opposition is elected to office. And when that opponent is elected, what have we seen? Absolute melt-downs in terrified people who have been so brain-washed that they just know the end of the world is at hand. I feel empathy for such people because they really are terrified. And I feel rage for those who instilled that fear in them simply because they lusted for power and control.

If you have ever tried to help a victim of domestic abuse, as an example, then you may have encountered this exact barrier in the victim. Some have been so propagandized by their abuser that they will not trust you. I have had them look at me and say, “he is my hero.” They really have been convinced of it. There certainly must be some real parallels between this kind of control and that exercised upon members of a cult, so that “de-programming” is necessary. It surely must be very similar to what Hebrews describes:

Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery. (Heb 2:14-15)

Fear of death resulting in lifelong slavery.

This makes me think of an animal caught in one of those metal leg traps. You come across it in the woods and you want to set it free. But there is a problem – the animal is terribly scared of you and won’t let you close. You have its freedom and life as your goal, but it is in bondage to the one who trapped it and wants to kill it.

It really is, then, the truth that will set us free. The victim of domestic abuse absolutely must come to see the truth – that in fact the real enemy is the abuser, not those who desire to help her. For the persons who desire to see her set free, the wait for this awakening can be a very difficult time.
