Homework
I have been set some homework and I thought I would put it on this page so it easy for me to find. This material has been sent by Da Church of Eppie (Thanks).

In order to resist your enemy you need to know how they think. This is a spiritual war and I will be absorbing this material over the next two weeks. In Eppies understanding ordinary people will be chewed up and spat out, mentally and spiritually smashed killing liberalism leaving right wing reactionaries (fascists, essentially communists like Dugin) and left-wing globalist”communitarians” fighting about control of the New World Order. Whoever wins, you lose. On top of that I would add that they are using the Apocalypse (and Christianity) as a game plan:
- Plague
- Famine
- Natural Disasters
- Economic collapse
They are trying to run a number on God (lolz), next comes the great deception (Antichrist). Do not be deceived. We live in perilous times. Keep the faith.

Thank You
Thank you to my fellow raccoons for keeping me on target with what is happening. I will watch it all over the next two weeks. I think I need to apply for one of Musk’s neuralinks so that I can hook my brain up to a super computer (lolz).
