I would offer that feudalism has persisted in varying degrees since the Middle Ages and the lords have simply repackaged and/or rebranded it, while distracting your attention away from its existence. A simple starting example might be: I "buy" a home and, should I fail to pay the mostly illegal taxes assessed on it, my supposed property is forcibly seized and taken from me. So where exactly was my ownership? COnVID simply helped pull back the veil for a growing number of the peasantry. "None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free." (von Goethe)
The Billionaire club is storing up wrath for themselves even quicker than the stolen wealth they are accumulating. The frenzy of partying they conduct themselves with I think masks a deep rooted unease within their shriveled souls. They cast off the fetters of God and His anointed one, and in doing so the gift of life weighs heavy on them. As hard as life is for many of us “serfs”, we have the Good Shepherd of our souls walking beside us to comfort and encourage us with blessings that no amount of money can purchase. I know who actually gains the most in this equation.
It is certainly distressing to read of their excesses. But as you pointed out in your excellent article, Karen, this is a cycle that has come around before. It won’t last, for us or for them. May God’s grace continue to be with us in the days to come, and may we find we really can do all things through Him who strengthens us.
When Jesus Christ, the Messiah and only Son of God and the Author and Creator of all things, returns only those who have received the gift of redemption that only He can provide will be saved…wealth doesn’t cut it, Christ declared there’s no buying our way into Heaven.
All those who sit back and depend on their God to solve what is going on in our Republic have given up the fight - passing the buck. Wasn't there something written a while back that said GOD HELPS THOSE WHO HELP THEMSELVES.
Well, as written, “ what once was will be again.” One unbelievable lie is that the Uber rich have ‘the common people’ believing they are responsible for all the problems in the world and so many of these people Believing this lie! Craziness. Thanks again for your very informative articles.
I biggified it and it is the ugliest building ever. it looks like something my brother and I built out of old building materials left overs when we were about 10 years old.
The watch, biggified looks dumb.
All of this is insulting. Really insulting. These people are filled with pride and have no moral compass. It is great that they have so much money accrued by investments and mostly by greed. I do not admire these people. They could be the ones to truly do good and build affordable homes and clean up neighborhoods. They could inspire the depressed drug addicted. What a waste
Thank you especially so much for taking the additional step of personally reading your essay. I cannot listen to the robo readers, they cannot speak in an intelligible way.
So many people tell me this. And I agree, those robots sound terrible. I make mistakes, clear my throat, mispronounce things, I'm not a professional reader, but I like to think it makes for a better connection. And I enjoy reading!
People waste their time fighting each other, a diabolical but very clever and persistent tactic of the uber-rich and powerful. We are a gravely flawed species.
I doubt any of these 1,500 people took the most sacred miracle elixir that they so ruthlessly pushed on the world populace just to participate in society.
You left out the Billionaire Donald Trump. Trump World Tower, Trump International, and his has his own Lagoon,Mara Lago. He is the one who made the Worldwide Lockdown and Plandemic all possible and he too has literally made a worldwide killing off of it all.
That's true. I couldn't get to everybody. He is only worth $2.6 billion, which is crazy to say because that's a lot of money, but he isn't in the league of the billionaires I mention.
I don't believe anything any of them say about anything, including how much money they have or do not have. Or how they acquired what they claim to have.For example, Bill Gates is Knight of Malta and Knights of Malta are agents of the Vatican. Trump was also Jesuit trained at Jesuit Fordham University and a Military Academy. And according Marina Abramavic, Donald Trump is a magician of the highest order.
It's a great article. The hatred and jealousy toward Donald Trump that we see today is unlike anything thrown at any successful businessman ever. I am continually amazed at Trump's ability to overcome every obstacle and keep fighting no matter what is thrown at him. I've written so much about him, both the good and the bad. I am very interested to see what happens with this election.
He is not a successful business man. He has been bankrupt and was bailed out by Bankers 6 times. Anyone can be considered a successful business person if they are always bailed out by the Banksters, that are nothing more than Counterfeiters
Who are you talking too? And wtf, are you talking about? If its me you are calling rot. I've been around, and of a sound and sober mind. And I've done my research and homework on subject of
"The Donald" Trump,the Forked Tongue murderer, son of the devil who comes to steal, to kill and to destroy. He is no doubt in my mind, A-Bad-Don the deceiver and Destroyer
Rot is a British term for BS. Pray tell us who Mr. Trump murdered. You may be reading too much Political Correct propaganda stories, or following the current administration's manifesto....slash and burn anything connected to the Trump Family.
...synchronicity!...i had been about to search for the wikipedia article on Feudalism and saw this post in my email, thanks Karen!...interesting the word begins with 'feud' and i noted that the word 'own' as in 'you will own nothing' could represent 'new world order'...a subtle inversion in the context...
Great article. Amazing how much hatred and jealousy there is toward this man. And people say he's stupid. He's very smart. It's been amazing to see how he just never gives up. No matter how hard they try to defeat him now. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out. I'm just afraid things have gone too far down this dark path for it to be reversed. As we get closer to elections, it's going to get really very dark. We've been purposely split apart as a nation and made to hate the other side. I'm afraid whoever gets into power will take terrible revenge on the other side which is now viewed almost as "the enemy within". We have enough enemies without that we could stand together to fight. Fighting each other could be the downfall of this nation.
The state would take over governance of land use and development in much of West Maui, a much more far-reaching plan than just the rebuilding of Lahaina, under a bill speeding through the Senate.
The state would take control of land use and development in this area — including overseeing the rebuilding of Lahaina — by seizing power from Maui County and giving it to the Lele Development District, a new entity within the Hawaii Community Development Authority. Decisions would be made by an elected nine-person board composed of district residents.
The Lele Development District board would have unusually expansive powers, with the authority to impose rent control, for instance, and to take property from one person through eminent domain and transfer it to another.
Yes, as Christ followers we are called to share the TRUTH of the Gospel wherever we can, Nana. Thank you for your willingness to do so. May God bless you. Happy Sunday!🙏❤️✝️

All true. COVID was such a huge scam, plus the rise of the technocrats, it's really changed everything.
It's revealed what was not so transparently revealed beforehand. The curtain has been opened.

Beautifully said. There is a lot of fear in the desperate partying and search for immortality.
Ding, ding, ding! A truly contented soul doesn’t need this frenzied excess of the display of wealth in their life. It’s all a facade and a fraud.
Amen to that
Amen and Amen, Nana W.! 🙏✝️

It's so crazy! How people are so swindled I will never know.
Gosh, I wonder if I could borrow a couple million so I can buy a little track built shack down the street.
That stacked home. where is that, did I miss the location? That is the ugliest thing I have ever seen.
I am gonna take a closer look at that watch. I might email him and ask him if I can wear it for a day.
Happy Friday dear friends
😂 The stacked house-good name for it- is in some city in India, perhaps Mumbai?

Absolutely. It is disgusting. This is what we call "success" in this world.
I agree that place is uglier than a mud fence so are those people

Thanks for this article - it feels like we are heading into a new feudal system.
You maybe interested in this article on Lahaina - talk about a feudal system, take a look:
https://www.civilbeat.org/2024/02/beyond-lahaina-some-lawmakers-want-a-new-development-plan-for-all-of-west-maui/
Here’s some highlights from the article:
The state would take over governance of land use and development in much of West Maui, a much more far-reaching plan than just the rebuilding of Lahaina, under a bill speeding through the Senate.
The state would take control of land use and development in this area — including overseeing the rebuilding of Lahaina — by seizing power from Maui County and giving it to the Lele Development District, a new entity within the Hawaii Community Development Authority.

The Lele Development District board would have unusually expansive powers, with the authority to impose rent control, for instance, and to take property from one person through eminent domain and transfer it to another.
I hadn't seen that. Thank you! It's just unbelievable. Talk about "equity".
