When I was younger, I was deeply involved in politics. I was so determined that I could make a difference that I would get into knockdown drag-out arguments. I was in my late 20s and early 30s, and I kept at this until a specific event.

My bride asked me to watch the show America’s Got Talent. I never watched any type of show like this, nor will I ever watch a show like this again. It was the same time that a certain official was up for re-election in the White House. As the debates of politics went on and time passed, so did the America’s Got Talent show. I started to get into the show as I watched something that I had never seen before. A contestant had a talent of creating musical instruments out of ordinary objects. Not only did this contestant make the instruments, but they also played them, used them, and made incredible sounds. Now this contestant made it to the finals along with two other contestants. One had an amazing voice, and the other were a couple of guys that trained dogs to do tricks. It was clear to me who should win; after all, this was a show about Americans who had a special talent!

The finals came, and every finalist performed. The contestant I was watching and “knowing” would win did something astounding. They turned the theater … Yes, the whole building into a massive harp—then PLAYED IT! I sat and stared, my mouth open, misty-eyed, as the sound was so beautiful. The votes came in, and the winner went to the dogs. I was shocked for just a moment and then started laughing. I got up and walked off, saying, “And this is why Obama will win this election. ” The dogs will be dead within a couple years, maybe less, but they won “America’s Got Talent” because they “looked cute.”

The logic behind this is the same logic that runs through your average human—there isn’t any. The part of the brain that is used to make a vote based on a canine hurling itself through a metal hoop over a human being that used a talent to turn a building into an architectural musical wonder was used to vote for the POTUS.

I dropped out of politics at that exact moment, and just like I said, Obama won his second term. 

The ideology behind our political system has now become a matter of emotional responses. The candidates no longer need to make a valid logical point; they just have to show up. The media takes over from here, creating emotional despair over one candidate, then based off the reaction to the level of despair they created, they create emotional fear of the other person losing. A candidate that can’t form a coherent sentence is showered with glory just for showing up; at the same time, the same network takes the other candidate to make them a “bully.” Everyone is then ‘convinced’ that one is a ‘bully,’ and they pick the other guy that gets lost on stage, over the ‘big bad bully because the media said he is and it must be true.’

So what does this have to do with true freedom, you might be asking? The Bible says that the truth shall set you free, so is freedom based off truth? The answer is a logical, resounding yes! So, what is going on today? Look at the logic of this: if truth will set you free and the existence of freedom requires the exposure of truth, then logically and mathematically, truth must be suppressed, which creates a state of fear, which creates a state of dependence, which creates a desire to create an illusion, which creates a desire to react emotionally and vote for a dying dog to get an award over a human that created a musical architectural masterpiece.

It appears that these reality shows are actually social experiments by a system that uses them to gauge how the average human being is thinking, logically or emotionally. Yes, it is a system that is fueled by humans that are chained to the system with fear.

The system, however, has created layers of redundancy to ensure that if a human being begins to think logically, they hit a wall of quite literal psychobabble that was created by the masters of the machine.

A human says, “Ok, I want to be free, so I must learn the truth, so what is the truth?” The first knee-jerk reaction is to say, “Truth differs from a personal point of view,” and it is the most logically illogical lie, so beautifully irrational that even I stand back and have to admire the logic behind it.

Here is the raw, unfiltered definition of the word “truth” that obliterates the modern-day definition of truth.

Latin: Veritas

• Root: Verus (actual, real, genuine).
• Definition: That which conforms strictly to reality. It represents the objective state of affairs precisely as they exist in the physical or logical realm, independent of human perception or emotional state.

Greek: Aletheia (ἀλήθεια)

• Root: a- (a privative prefix meaning “without” or “not”) + lethe (concealment, oblivion, or forgetfulness).
• Definition: “Un-hiddenness,” “un-concealment,” or “disclosure.” It defines truth as the deliberate exposure of reality. It is the active removal of suppression and illusion, making the actual state of things visible and evident.

Hebrew: Emet (אֱמֶת)

• Root: Aman (to be firm, to support, to be reliable).
• Definition: Stability, permanence, and absolute certainty. In this linguistic framework, truth is a structural foundation. It is an unalterable fact that remains mathematically and historically consistent and will not collapse under testing or inquiry.

Linguistically and logically, these definitions eliminate the concept of a “personal truth.” By definition, truth is an external, unalterable absolute, not a subjective variable tailored to an individual’s point of view.

If you are reading this, you might have already subconsciously formed the modern-day definition that “truth is a subjective variable based on a personal point of view.”

So the actual word has been redefined from the same exact system!

Compare the mechanics:

• Modern-day truth: “Truth is a subjective variable based on a personal point of view.”
• Actual meaning of truth (Latin, Greek, Hebrew): Strict conformity to reality, deliberate exposure of facts, and absolute structural permanence.

Now, what is the opposite of truth? Well, just compare the historical absolute to the ‘modern day’ variable, and one of these is clearly not like the other. By all logic and math combined, this must mean that the one that is the polar opposite of the historical baseline is the lie.

Wait … am I saying that they redefined the word “truth” so that it is a lie? Actually, I didn’t say that at all; I just pointed out the truth. The system did not just change a word; it removed the metric by which reality is measured, forcing the population back into the loop of emotional dependence and fear.

Sticking with logic here, does truth change? Is what you think might be true actually just more socially accepted?

Logic dictates that there must be the existence of an opposite for something to exist. Dark/Light, Day/Night, Wet/Dry, Up/Down, Life/Death, Left/Right, Truth/Lie. Based off of that logic alone, if something is not true, what is it?

In the past 4,000 – 5,000 years, point to one thing that the word of God has changed. The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, dating back over two millennia, mathematically proved that texts such as the Book of Isaiah have remained virtually unchanged when compared to modern Hebrew manuscripts.

• It represents the objective state of affairs precisely as they exist in the physical or logical realm, independent of human perception or emotional state.
• It is the active removal of suppression and illusion, making the actual state of things visible and evident.
• It is an unalterable fact that remains mathematically and historically consistent and will not collapse under testing or inquiry.

You are in a system that has you questioning the definition of the word “truth” and has replaced it with the definition of a lie. So logically, you are in a closed-loop system that is based on a lie, fueled by your emotions, empowered by your emotional reactions, and protected by a lie.

Who is the father of lies?

A slave is not a slave until that slave realizes they are chained. So, I’m pointing at the chains, but do you see them?

If not… You are still in the system, or you are in the Word.

As Isaiah 55:11 dictates, “So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.”

The Word of the Lord is the perfect, pure, flawless spoken word of truth that will never change.

It is the definition of true freedom!
