R-21 Dump "Woke" Schools!

Resistance 21

Get your children out of the incredibly "woke" public school system. Separate your family from the failed public school system. Public schools are little more than indoctrination camps for the Worldly system built by the Elites. If you are not aware of the many dangers, failures, and wokeness of public schools, then you haven't been paying attention.

And that includes your kid's school. Yes. Your kid's school is as bad as any, whether you want to admit it or not. It used to be, pre-lockdowns, that many parents would agree that public schools were bad. But it was always other public schools, in places like California and New York. It wasn't their kid's school, and they would get mad at any suggestion that it was.

Then the lockdowns happened. Parents had to closely supervise their kids' education on a daily basis. And they were stunned. Parents were forced to realize that, yes indeed, their kid's school is as bad as any. The indoctrination their kids face on a daily basis is staggering. So parents got upset. They started demanding answers, and changes, from school boards. 

This, in turn, upset school board members, who are activists and politicians NOT educators (something else parents have started to realize). These school board members consider themselves experts above questioning, and consider the parents who dare question them to be criminals and terrorists. Sadly, many DAs and even the US Dept. of Justice, took the side of the School Boards, so corrupt is our modern Worldly system.

In response, many parents have pulled their kids out of public schools, placing them in private or parochial schools. But, we have learned that many of these have also gone woke. Homeschooling is the best choice in most cases. And many folks now home school their children. 

Oddly, this surge in homeschooling was made possible by the lockdowns, as many parents (typically mothers) had to quit work to take care of their kids, who were no longer in school. And in doing so, many discovered that the family didn't need a second income after all. 

After deducting taxes, the cost of commuting, the incredible cost of day care and after school care, and other expenses associated with both parents working, a second income in many cases actually added little to the family's net spendable income. Homeschooling is affordable for many, it turns out. 

And many parents discovered the joy of actually taking care of their children. No wonder the activists in the educational system are so upset... 

Full Disclosure: Homeschooling is outside my personal experience, so you will need to do your own research to find out the details of how to do it in your state.

R-20 How To Tell If A Church is "Woke"

Resistance 20

By Tim Gamble
Join the Resistance! Subscribe by email (click this link)

Bottom Line Up Front (BLUF): A Church should be unapologetically Bible-believing and Bible-teaching - and that means ALL of the Bible, from Genesis 1:1 through Revelation 22:21. No cherry-picking the "acceptable" passages. No avoiding the uncomfortable ones. 

How To Tell If A Church is "Woke"

Back in Resistance Article 17, I urged folks to get out of modern liberal / progressive / "woke" churches. Instead, I urged folks to find a small Bible-believing, Bible-teaching congregation to join. Or find a home church or private Bible-study group to meet with on a weekly basis. Or start one of your own with family and friends who also believe in the Bible.

This does beg a question: How to tell if a church is "woke" or not? 

I gave one big clue in R-17 (read that article if you haven't yet). Does the church talk a lot about being "relevant" and "authentic" - two buzz words of the Far Left that reveal a desire to "fit in" with the modern world, rather than staying true to God's Word.  

Worrying about being relevant implies that somehow God's Word has become irrelevant to modern society, and that it is the Church that must move away from the Word and towards the World in order to be relevant. Thus you see lots of modern churches moving towards acceptance of homosexual lifestyles, gay marriage, sex before marriage, sex outside of marriage, multiple sex partners, gender confusion... Hmmm... Its interesting how much being "relevant" actually means accepting and even wallowing in sexual sin. Something to think about. 

Being authentic sounds nice, but what is it people want to be authentic towards? The Bible? No. That's the last thing most folks want. What is too often meant by being authentic is being authentic to one's self, whatever that might be. To many modern folks, an authentic church is one that accepts their Worldly beliefs without imposing God's out-of-date, old-fashioned, standards on them. 

Other Far Left Buzz Words In Modern Churches

"Social Justice" - Social Justice is not Biblical Justice. These are two different concepts, yet many people confuse them (some intentionally so - there are wolves in leadership positions of many modern churches). Biblical Justice is rooted in God's Law. Social Justice is rooted in postmodernism and neo-Marxist critical theory, and redefines justice away from long-held Biblical standards to the current and ever-changing Worldly standards. 

"Environmental Justice" - This is also often called "Creation Stewardship" to hide its actual meaning. It is simply modern environmentalism dressed up in "Christian" clothes. What's wrong with modern environmentalism? There's nothing wrong with wanting clean air and clean water, but modern environmentalism is much more about Leftist political and social ideology than it is about clean air and clean water.

"Economic Justice" - Sounds nice, but Economic Justice is just another name for Leftist ideologies, such as socialism and Marxism. Economic Justice isn't about helping the needy and poor, which is a good thing and used to be called charity, but encompasses a wide range of Leftist thought, much of it unbiblical. 

These, and other far left buzz words, are signs that a particular church is focusing more on political and social ideology (in other words, is "woke"), rather than focusing on worshipping God and teaching His Word. 

The Bottom Line 

Here is the bottom line: A Church should be unapologetically Bible-believing and Bible-teaching - and that means ALL of the Bible, from Genesis 1:1 through Revelation 22:21

No cherry-picking the "acceptable" passages. No avoiding the uncomfortable ones. No trying to "fit in" with the modern world. No denying the existence of Evil. No redefining sin to appease certain special interest groups. No trying to be a "safe space" for modern folks who get offended at every little thing they don't like.

Bible Verses To Think About...

By Tim Gamble
Join the Resistance! Subscribe by email (click this link)

Here are some verses from the Bible for you to think about this weekend, as you stay away from "woke" churches and their unbiblical teachings. I do recommend looking these up in your Bible and reading them in context. Context matters. What translation of the Bible should you use? For now, it doesn't matter. Since the Bible wasn't written in English, there is no "perfect" translation. Most (not all) of the following are taken from the NKJV.

Bible Verses To Think About...

Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one! You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. – Deuteronomy 6:4-5

I and the Father are one.” – John 10:30 (Jesus speaking)

Teacher, which command in the law is the greatest?” He [Jesus] said to him, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and most important command. The second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets depend on these two commands.” – Matthew 22:36-40

You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. – Deuteronomy 6:5 

You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord. – Leviticus 19:18 


“Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.” --Matthew 5:17 (Jesus speaking)

Everyone who commits sin practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness. – 1 John 3:4 

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, – Romans 3:23 

Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures. – 1 Corinthians 15:3-5 

Therefore repent and turn back, so that your sins may be wiped out. – Acts 3:19

If you love me, you will keep my commands.” – John 14:15 (Jesus speaking)

And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. – Revelation 12:17 

Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus. – Revelation 14:12 (ESV)

R-19 Dump the "woke" financial system - PART 2

Resistance 19

By Tim Gamble
Join the Resistance! Subscribe by email (click this link)

Read Part 1 if you haven't yet. 

You will likely still need to be at least partially in the system for now. This includes having some form of financial accounts at a bank or credit union. It will not be possible for most of us to immediately exit the banking system. Most of us have various monthly bills to pay, debt payments to make, shopping to do, paychecks to cash, social security and other checks that need direct deposit, and so forth. It is getting increasingly difficult to do these things in a "cash only" manner, especially after the last few years of lockdowns and forced changes to the economy. Still possible, but difficult. And this situation will only get worse, as the push to a "cashless society" picks up steam. The reality is you likely will need to remain at least partially in the financial system to be able to conduct your day-to-day business. 

Here are some additional thoughts for your consideration:

>>> You are still going to need some money for normal use, for a least a while. 

>>> Move to a cash-only (and barter) basis to the extent that you can. Don't worry about not being able to do this perfectly. Do the best you can.

>>> Keep a small amount of money in the bank. How much money depends on your situation - I would suggest a couple of months' worth of expenses, plus an emergency fund with enough in it to cover a major home or car repair.

>>> Keep a certain amount of cash in a safe, hidden place at home or elsewhere. Maybe divide it up between two safe places. How much cash to keep is up to you and depends on your circumstances.

>>> Turn much of your remaining cash into useful physical assets, such as productive land*, tools, guns & ammo, solar systems, water systems, food storage, etc.

>>> *Productive land may include a homestead (grow / raise food), wooded acreage (timber, firewood, hunting, foraging), land with water on it (water, fishing), space for your business, or even rental property (but consider how you will collect the rent post-collapse). 

>>> Turning some of your cash into useful training (self-defense, shooting, first aid, nursing, various trades, etc.) is likely a good idea. Training cannot be stolen or lost to fire, but it can be lost to time.

>>> Junk silver is a good option for a small percentage of your money, but other things should come first. Some physical gold that you hold in your possession might make sense for wealthy folks with lots of extra money. Remember, despite how they are touted on TV, gold and silver are NOT growth investments, but rather are a storehouse for your wealth. 

>>> There is no such thing as 100% safe. You must learn to live with some risk in life, otherwise you are going to be a miserable person. The smart thing to do, of course, is to manage that risk - to minimize it the best you can. Then rest easy knowing you've done the best you can, and its in God's hands now.

>>> Companies that hold your gold and silver for you are not insured by the federal government. Those companies can go bankrupt, then a Court will decide when and if you get your gold and silver.

>>> Companies that hold your gold and silver for you may not be able to return it to you after SHTF (corruption by the company, confiscation by government, lost to looting, fires, etc).

>>> Stuff in your possession (metals, tools, guns, food, supplies) can be stolen or destroyed by fire, flood, etc. Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

The Bottom Line:  There are a lot of things to consider, and no easy answers. Dumping the woke and doomed economic system of the Elites is going to take planning, effort, and lots of hard work on your part. But it will be worth it. You are moving from being a debt-slave and wage-slave, to being truly free, probably for the first time in your life. If you want that, then work your ass off to get it. If you don't want that, then pour yourself a Bud Light, watch some CNN, and decide what pronouns you are going to use tomorrow.

R-18 Dump the "Woke" and Doomed Economic System - Here's How

Resistance 18

By Tim Gamble
Join the Resistance! Subscribe by email (click this link)

Let me start by addressing what some may consider a contradiction in my ideas. I am simultaneously telling folks to fight the end of Cash (see R-08 and R-09) and telling folks to get out of the doomed economic system. This is not a contradiction.  The Elites want an end to cash, preferring a cashless, digital system to better monitor, tax, and control the lesser classes. It is against that control I fight, not for the current system, which I think we should abandon to the extent we can.

Economic Fascism

In R-16 and elsewhere, I've talked about building alternative systems to the worldly systems of the Elites. One of the worldly systems we need to replace is the current economic system.

Our economic system isn't true capitalism, and hasn't been for many decades. Our current system is Economic Fascism (Big Government + Big Business + centralized banking + dollars backed by nothing + massive public and private debts), designed to enhance the wealth and power of the Elites.

The current move towards a "digital" economy is meant to drive us even deeper into Economic Fascism. The Elites want a digital system to better monitor, tax, and control we lesser classes. But, how do we build an alternative to their system?

Ideas For Dumping Economic Fascism

Start by getting your financial house in order. Reducing your expenses and getting out of debt are very important first steps. The fewer bills you have, the less dependent on the current system you will be. You will also be much more prepared to survive the digital, entirely cashless, economy the Elites are implementing. Check out my article Financial Preparedness: Back to the Basics for some great ideas on this topic.

The Bible says debt is slavery. "The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is the slave of the lender" (Proverbs 22:7). We are slaves to those we owe money. No wonder the wealthy Elites love massive public and private debt. It gives them lots of slaves. 

Next, try to put aside at least one year's worth of food (more is better) before being being forced into the all-digital system. You then can keep your stored food "topped off" without it being as apparent to their algorithms that you are stockpiling (or in their terms "hoarding") food. Same goes for cleaning supplies, hygiene supplies, first aid supplies, OTC medications, vitamins and supplements, and so forth. Do most of your stockpiling ("hoarding") now, before we are forced to go cashless. Once we are forced into the all-digital system, it will be easy for the Government to know exactly who is stockpiling, and what. 

I especially recommend you buy any guns, ammo, body armor, night vision, and other politically incorrect items sooner rather than later. I do believe they want to use the cashless, digital economy to regulate the second amendment out of existence. 

Reduce your personal consumption of everything. Adopt a simpler lifestyle. Live well within your means. Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Recycle. Be a saver, not a consumer. If you had to, could you support yourself and your family on half your present income? You may have to some day, so start making the lifestyle changes now.

Barter will become a major means of economic exchange for people not willing to fully buy into the new digital system. Do you know people you can barter with? Do you produce things that could be used for barter? Do you have knowledge or skills you can barter? You can barter some of your supplies, of course, but eventually you will run out. What then? Now is the time to figure this out. Become a producer, not a consumer

Make contacts with local farmers and other producers, and start building your barter networks now. Do it now, so you won't be scrambling to figure this out after the fact. Another reason to make contacts and start building networks now is that you are going to need people you trust, and who trust you. Once government figures out that people are bartering instead of placidly joining the digital economy, they will make barter illegal. This will force us into an underground, black market. For this, we are going to need people we trust and who trust us. 

Become less dependent on Amazon, the Big Box stores, and national chains by seeking out small, independent stores and suppliers in your area, and forming relationships with them. This means locally-owned gun stores, hardware stores, feed stores, gardening centers, salvage stores, independent grocers, butcher shops, and so forth. Meet the owners and managers, befriend the employees, and become known as a good customer to them. You'll be surprised by how much these relationships will help you in the future. You won't be able to switch overnight entirely, but shop locally whenever you can. 

Metals, such as gold, silver, and even lead (in the form of ammo), will also be a primary means of exchange for those wishing to avoid the digital system. Most of us probably can't afford gold at this point, but silver and ammo are still relatively affordable. Copper pennies (1981 and before) and even nickels (75% copper, 25% nickel) will likely retain value and be used as a means of exchange. They both are already worth more in metal content than their face value (copper pennies are worth almost 2½¢ each and nickels almost 6¢ each at this time). You may be interested in my article Prepper's Guide to Junk Silver.

David Kobler (aka SouthernPrepper1 on YouTube) has spoken often of his "metals plan" for post-collapse. His plan is to be a hardware store for his community - to be a supplier of nails, screws, wire, fencing, and other construction materials (both metal and non-metal). To that end, SP1 has been salvaging these materials for many years, building that supply he can use, sell, or trade post-collapse. I think this is a brilliant idea and wish I had starting doing this myself years ago. 

The government may attempt to confiscate precious metals at some point (they did so in the past). I believe that may push our unsustainable economic system over the edge into full-scale collapse, and We the People into full-scale rebellion. At that point, folks will pay little attention to the failed government and its authorities.  

A Return To The Old Paths

The most important thing, and the hardest, is to stop being a wage-slave. I'll say it again: Become a producer, not a consumer. This is part of my Biblical Agrarianism concept (or just Agrarianism for those of you uncomfortable with Bible talk). 

Buying land and setting up a homestead, where you and your family can be as self-reliant as possible, is a good way to go (but not the only way). Doing this with a community of similar folks also seeking self-reliance would be even better.  Consider moving to a small town or rural area with lots of nearby farms and country folk, or get together with some other families and start your own self-reliant community!

Don't want to be a farmer? That's cool. Agrarianism doesn't  mean everyone must be a farmer or homesteader - after all, there are plenty of support functions and other necessary jobs that must be done. Perhaps you can start your own business serving local folks. I especially would recommend businesses that produce, build, or repair. The possibilities are endless.

R-17 Dump "Woke" Churches!

Resistance 17

By Tim Gamble
Join the Resistance! Subscribe by email (click this link)

Get out of modern liberal / progressive / "woke" churches.  Instead, find a small Bible-believing, Bible-teaching congregation to join. Or find a home church or private Bible-study group to meet with on a weekly basis. Or start one of your own with family and friends who also believe in the Bible. 

In the 1960s and1970s, modern feminism (anti-male, anti-family, anti-traditional values) began infecting many Christian Churches. Many pastors and other leaders did nothing, or even embraced modern feminism, often out of fear of losing members, donations, or even their jobs, if they didn't fit in with modern times.

In more recent decades, the concept of "social justice" (which is absolutely not the same as Biblical justice, see the book Why Social Justice Is Not Biblical Justice) has infected many Christian Churches. Likewise, "environmental justice" - another non-Biblical concept - has also gained traction in many Churches, Today, most pastors and other leaders have embraced social and environmental justice out of a desire to fit in with the modern world (though they would call it being "relevant" and "authentic" - two buzz words of the Far Left).

This desire to "fit in with the world" is condemned in Scripture many, many times. Yet, many modern Christians try to adopt worldly ways, thinking it is okay because they are giving it a supposedly "Christian" spin. It is not okay. We are followers of The Way, not followers of The World. We are called to be set-apart, not to fit in.

God, and God alone, decides what is right and what is wrong, what is sin and what is not, what is good and what is evil. What God has decided is never "out dated" or "old fashioned." We have not "out grown" what God has revealed to us. We do not become "relevant" or "authentic" by rejecting God's Laws. The world may praise us for doing so, but God won't. 

Let me be clear on this: God decides what love is, not us. God decides how we are to love Him. God decides how we are to love others. We don't decide this for ourselves. God tells us exactly how we are to love Him, and how we are to Love others. It is NOT up to us to decide how we will love Him, or how we will love others. God has already decided this for us. Read the scriptures. Its all laid out right there. 

Worldly ways are not God's ways, and slapping a Christian bumper sticker on it won't change that fact. Follow God, not the World. Reject modern "Christianity" that tries to fir in with the World. Reject churches, pastors, and teachers that worry more about being seen as relevant than about pleasing God.

You may also be interested in my article Precepts of Biblical Survivalism, over on my Dystopian Survival website. 

Personal Note:  I believe in the whole Bible, from Genesis 1:1 through Revelation 22:21. I don't consider any part of the Bible to be "old-fashioned," "out-of-date," or otherwise "irrelevant" to modern times. I find no reason to compromise with the modern World. I don't care if I "fit in" with modern times, nor do I worry about what others may think. I worry only about what my Creator thinks. At least, this is my goal, and I am finding it easier to stick to that goal each day as I watch the World slide ever deeper into corruption, filth, decadence, and perversion of all types. Why anyone would want to "fit in" with this Worldly system is beyond me.

R-16 Building Alternative Systems

Resistance 16

By Tim Gamble
Join the Resistance! Subscribe by email (click this link)

"We have to build alternate systems.  I don't think we can stop them, but we can chose not buy their food, take their drugs or mRNA vaccines. We can chose to not use their "health care providers."  We can be our own - independent people outside of their hellscape." -- Dr. Robert W. Malone, MD, in a tweet made on Jan. 11, 2023

In a discussion on Twitter regarding mRNA vaccines in livestock and companion animals (yes, they are real and happening), Dr. Robert Malone made a brilliant suggestion. "We have to build alternative systems" (full quote above). In context of the discussion, Dr. Malone was referring to the need for alternative systems of medicine and agriculture. 

I whole-heartedly agree more with Dr. Malone. I have been saying the same thing for at least the last eight years. In fact, I have gone far beyond Dr. Malone's advice to build alternative agricultural and healthcare systems. I have been saying we need to get out of the worldly system altogether. Not just get out of the world's food and healthcare systems, but out of its education, entertainment, financial, and every other worldly system. This includes the modern worldly Church. 

The Elites have spent the last 100+ years building the current world-system, one that highly favors them at the expense of us ordinary folks. They are using a combination of modern technology, artificial intelligence, mass psychological manipulation (PSYOPs) , and technocracy (basically, a scientific dictatorship controlled by them) to force us even more into their version of utopia (for them - dystopia for the rest of us). The only way to stop them at this point is to build an alternative world system to theirs. 

What would such an alternative world system look like? I have an idea: "A return to the old paths of self-reliance and local economies built around agrarian communities." I call this concept Biblical Agrarianism, but those uncomfortable with talk of God and the Bible, you can just call it Agrarianism. It's much the same thing. 

Agrarianism is philosophy and an economic system which places primary importance on agriculture and related fields, and in rural and small town living, as opposed to industrialized, urban living. 

Agrarianism doesn't  mean everyone must be a farmer or homesteader - after all, there are plenty of support functions and other necessary jobs that must be done - but rather that our lives, culture, economy, and political structure should reflect the primary importance of agriculture and related fields, including other natural resources (energy, timber, mining, etc.). 

It also doesn't mean abandoning modern technology and scientific advances. Instead, we would use those modern tools to our advantage, rather than letting those tools be used to control us. 

Agrarianism is the way forward. It has many advantages:
  • It is a much more sustainable system.
  • It is certainly a much less corrupt system.
  • It is a much healthier lifestyle, both physically and emotionally.
  • We will be much less dependent on China and other foreign powers.
  • Smaller, Less Costly and Less Powerful Government
  • Less Control Over "We The People" By The Elites
Finally, I believe the agrarian lifestyle is much more conducive to living God's way rather than worldly ways. Hence, my use of the term "Biblical Agrarianism," and why I think Christians especially should seek a return to these old paths. 

I've already begun writing about Agrarianism over on my Dystopian Survival website. Check out these articles:

R-15 What about armed resistance?

Resistance 15

By Tim Gamble

What about armed resistance?

Since I write about Resistance, some folks may wonder about armed resistance. Am I calling for armed resistance? A violent rebellion? A civil war? No, I am not.

Armed resistance is an absolute last resort, as it is extremely difficult with deadly consequences

Despite the fantasies presented in many survivalist novels, most of us are not prepared to become guerrilla fighters, and likely would only get ourselves and probably our families killed. Most of us, me included, lack the fitness, training, and self-discipline to be a warrior fighting on the frontlines.

And lone wolf attacks accomplish nothing, except to give the media some wonderful propaganda to spin and to give government an excuse for yet more restrictions to our freedoms. Lone wolves aren't striking blows against the system. To the contrary, they are stupidly playing into the hands of the Elites, who understand information warfare much better than they do.

I strongly believe in the right to self-defense, but I also strongly reject the unprovoked or unnecessary use of violence to achieve our goals. My advice for now is to concentrate instead on resisting in safer and more effective ways.

We are in an information war, and an economic war, not a physical war. At least not yet.
