American cities were at one time beautiful to behold. After the struggle to maintain order they became the centers of industry and technology and many of them were wonderful places to visit. Until the left rose to power and began to dismantle what city founders established. The homeless and mentally ill are allowed to camp out on public sidewalks unchallenged to use drugs opening, defecate and urinate where ever is convenient. Trash is allowed to accumulate which is allowing rats and their fleas to overtake city hall. From LA to Seattle, Portland to Denver, we are losing our cities with little being reported by our so-called free press. Yet, the bible warns of such things happening and it may have something to do with the fourth horseman of the apocalypse, the pale horse.
Raw Transcript:
American cities, the Pale horse and the hell that follows rats, public defecation and open drug use. Our major western cities are becoming uninhabitable Hell holes. This, according to the endoftheAmericandream.com.
Our Bible verse of the day will actually come in the middle of the program because it deals with the Pale horse and a Panera bread’s social pay experiment comes to a miserable end. Not to mention Portland, Oregon pulls out of its cooperation with the FBI terrorism task force following San Francisco’s lead. Are these things connected? I believe that they are. I’m pastor Paul Holt and thIs is the Bible factor.
All right. Well, you know, studying the book of Ezekiel on Wednesdays tends to put me in a well more of an end times frame of mind. And one particular story kind of brings me to that. Uh, this story from the end of the American dream.com is entitled: Rats, public defecation and open drug use. Our major western cities are becoming uninhabitable Hell holes.
Almost everyone that goes out to visit one of our major cities on the west coast has a similar reaction. Those that must live among the escalating decay are often numb to it, but most of those who are just in town for a visit are absolutely shocked by all of the trash, human deification, crime and public drug use that they encounter.
Once upon a time, our beautiful western cities were the envy of the rest of the world, but now they serve as shining examples of America’s accelerating decline. The worst parts of our major western cities literally look like post apocalyptic wastelands and the hordes of zombified homeless people that live in those areas are too drugged out to care. The ironic thing is that these cities are not poor. In fact, San Francisco and Seattle are among the wealthiest cities in the entire nation, so if things are falling apart this dramatically now, how bad will things get when economic conditions really start to deteriorate?
Let’s start our discussion by looking at the rat epidemic in Los Angeles. Thanks to extremely poor sanitation. Rats are breeding like mad and at this point they have conquered Los Angeles City Hall. Now. Here’s the thing that I found particularly fascinating officials at the Los Angeles City Hall or considering ripping all of the buildings, carpets up as rats and fleas are said to be running riot in its halls. Emotion was filed by counsel President Herb Wesson on Wednesday to an act. The much needed make-over amid a typhus outbreak in the downtown area wasn’t said a city employee had contracted the or contracted the deadly bacterial disease at work and now he’s urging officials to investigate the scope of the long running pest problem at the council building. Now, people from all over the world are drawn to Los Angeles because of what they have seen on television, but it is truly a filthy, filthy place.
The number of homeless has been rising about 20% a year. Public drug use is seemingly everywhere and there are mountains of trash all over the place. Needless to say, rats thrive in such an environment and the epic battle that one of La journalists is having with rats was recently featured in the La Times. The fact is that what they are seeing in Los Angeles is not just Los Angeles. This is happening in major cities across the nation. For example, a massive rat infestation, recently forced authorities to close a shockingly filthy homeless encampment under a bridge in Salem, Oregon. Amid the trash, human despair and anguish. One weeping woman prepared to leave the most recent place. She knows his home without any real inkling of where she’ll go next. Terry Ballo, an outreach worker with the salvation army has been here for the darker moments of living life under a bridge, anger, mental illness, drug use, and human frustration, frustration, boiling over at times, everywhere one looks.
Yet it was a rat infestation and concern about human health that prompted the city of Salem to move the campers out. The fact is that what we are seeing in our nation’s cities is a direct result of our moving away from God and embracing lawlessness. You see, the fact is that when we look at cities like San Francisco and notice that the same sort of thing is happening in Denver, Colorado, well, you start to see a pattern developing. Our major cities are controlled in large part by these godless progressive’s who will not enforce the laws that are on the books. They will not deal with the homeless situation. In fact, they encourage the homeless situation, the drug use, the mental illness, uh, progressive’s have worked so hard to take any real bite out of the law to deal with mental illness. No longer are people getting the help that they need by being sent to certain facilities to undergo treatment.
But they are left and usually declared off limits. Just like so many of the hell, the people that are actually bringing these things to not just our cities, but to our nation. You see, it’s not just illegal immigration. The godless progressive’s don’t want to enforce the law. They think that the law is unfair. They think that it’s mean that it’s cruel, that it’s better to let these people live in makeshift homes on the sidewalk. It’s been about three years since I went to San Francisco. It was the first time, and hopefully the last time. Now, San Francisco has it’s charm and its beauty, but almost immediately you go to a Starbucks and I went to two Starbucks while I was there because I like my coffee and I can’t really get along without it, but at one Starbucks, just outside, there were several small tents set up and people screaming at passerbys, people that were engaging in drug use and the police were doing nothing about it because these people were considered off limits.
Now they will arrest a normal looking person who is drinking alcohol openly on the streets, but someone who’s literally shooting up, not so much. The fact is that when you look around cities like San Francisco and I went to another Starbucks by the way, and saw a man walking naked down the street, there were several places where you had to be careful where you step because people are openly desiccating on the sidewalk. You may have something on the bottom of your shoe that will be difficult to clean up and the smell will linger for quite some time. This is because San Francisco is unwilling, literally unwilling to police itself, unwilling to enforce laws that were meant to bring the city back to a place of law and order. And this has been a problem in San Francisco for multiple decades. Uh, there’s video going back to the early eighties of Willie Brown, uh, saying that he was going to clean up the city, the streets of San Francisco and every mayor since then, every democratic mayor has said they’re going to do something about the problem.
And usually that solution is spending millions, if not billions of dollars in placating those people that are breaking the law and really making life miserable in American cities. You see, drug use is something that’s promoted in all of these cities, whether we’re talking San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, or Denver. It’s been awhile since I’ve been to Los Angeles, but I have recently been to Seattle and to Denver and it is perfectly acceptable to smoke marijuana on the streets of those cities. But try to smoke a cigar. Yeah, you’re going to have trouble. And the fact is that this is creating the very problem that is destroying the United States of America. It is an unwillingness not just by the politicians, but by the people. I mean, let’s face it, if the people really wanted to stop these sorts of activities happening on their streets, they would rise up against the mayor and elect somebody much different than the person who currently holds office BC.
Romans chapter one is very clear as we ignore God and our thinking, and as we choose to embrace sin and the types of sin that bring about a debased mind, many of them sexual sentence, that’s not the only types of sin, but that is chief among them. God specifically says in Romans chapter one that that is the consequence of ignoring God, that people start to embrace not only sexual sins, but there are unthankful to God. They’re disobedient to parents and, and the list goes on, but this brings about a debased mind. Now, we may argue about what a debased mind might be, but the fact is that really it is the inability to maintain a society. You know, we start to see the wealthy embrace sin, but also to build up higher and higher so that they can live above the fray, live above the odor in the well, just the terrible, uh, well the, the terrible way that the city is behaving, they can ignore it and claim that they embrace a type of morality and justice that most normal humans wouldn’t recognize.
The Denver City Council has voted unanimously to decriminalize a number of offenses, including defecating in public, also urinating in public camping on public and private land without permission. Panhandle Anan Line across public rights of ways such as sidewalks. You see what I’m talking about? They’re embracing this kind of lawlessness and making it the law. They don’t want to make people feel bad, but what are they doing? They’re wanting to destroy the city. They’re wanting to destroy what was once good in favor of embracing what is evil. I mean, it’s cruel to the people that are doing these things too, by the way. You encourage them to live under bridges and encourage them to not receive the mental health that they need. They don’t get the help that they deserve. And in fact, he started throwing money at the situation like Seattle does. Wanting to tax Amazon to the point of extinction to take care of the homeless problem.
Well, the fact is you could correct the homeless problem without throwing all sorts of money at it. You just have to reenact the laws that worked and guess what? It causes people to actually help themselves. It actually causes people to give up their drug use to actually challenge themselves to get help and to do better. The Democratic Mayor Michael Hancock and city officials explain the new ordinances are designed to protect immigrants, legal and the other kind from unintended consequences. These consequences were fines and longer jail terms and has been customary in most places. We’re violating behavioral norms of civilized American society. You see, in the name of justice, we create injustice in the name of fairness, the willingness to supposedly protect immigrants, either legal or illegal. We actually make the situation horrific. It is literally bringing hell on earth. I mean, I don’t use words like hell and hell hole lightly.
I’m not one to normally use that type of language, but it is biblical language. You know, we might use a biblical world like she old, uh, you know, to describe a place of eternal burning. And I’m not talking about the afterlife. I’m actually talking about literally right outside of Jerusalem. It was a place where the flame never died. The were, I’m sorry, the flame never went out and the warm never died. That’s a better way to describe it. And really that is what we are creating in the United States. We think that just like so many permissive parents think that not disciplining their children actually makes them better children. When in turn they create little monsters. Well, what we ended up with here is horrific cities where we are killing ourselves both with bullets and with garbage. So speaking of public defecation, San Francisco has become world famous for piles of human poop that constantly litter there streets during one seven day stretch, last summer, a total of 16,000 official complaints were submitted to the city about human feces.
Fact is that the beautiful surroundings of San Francisco and the amazing wealth, I mean, remember this is the heart of Silicon Valley. San Francisco should be a great place to visit, but no, that is not true. When reporter John Stossel recently visited San Francisco, he was stunned by what he found. He said, San Francisco is a pretty good place to hang out with a sign. People are rarely arrested for vagrancy, aggressive panhandling or going to the bathroom in front of people’s homes. In 2015 there were 60,491 complaints to police, but only 125 people were actually arrested. Public drug uses generally ignored. One woman told us it’s nasty. Seeing people shoot up right in front of you. Police don’t do anything about it. They’ll get somebody for drinking a beer but walk right past people using needles in San Francisco, they actually give out free syringes to drug addicts and it has been reported that they handed out a total of 5.8 million free syringes just in 2018 alone. That is a whole lot of syringes and you know, we’d been arguing from the conservative angle from the Christian angle and this isn’t good. Handing out those needles is actually a bad thing that you’re not saving people. You’re hurting people.
Yeah.
There’s just, you know, there’s this one big problem that despite spending an extra one point $8 million last year in an effort to retreat needles, the San Francisco Chronicle reports that the department handed out about 2 million more syringes that it got back, many of which are now washing down the streets of one of the richest cities in America along with the feces of their users. Everybody’s all worried about the environment. What do you think 2 million syringes, 2 million needles being washed down after a good rain storm down, uh, the various, uh, sewage systems. What do you, what do you think that does for the environment? How do you think that helps the fish?
It’s just insane. Well, revelation chapter six, verse seven says, he opened the fourth seal. I heard a voice of the fourth living creature say com. And I looked and behold a pale horse. And it’s writer’s name was death and Haiti’s followed him and they were given authority over a fourth of the earth to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by wild beasts of the earth. Now I’m doing a full breakdown of this passage of the four horsemen of the apocalypse in revelation chapter six, a as I am attempting to write another book, uh, hopefully this one will be a bit longer. I think it will be very fascinating. One of the aspects. Now I believe there’s multiple ways to look at scripture, multiple interpretations that are valid. You can actually read the same scripture and see two different fulfillments or more.
And this is a sound, a Hermaneutic, if you will, for the study of scripture. And so while I do believe that socialist countries and socialist governments do bring about the fourth horseman of the apocalypse, the Pale or sickly green horse, it is interesting to me that there is this pestilence that goes with the Pale horse. Yes, there is, uh, the death by the sore. He is given the power to kill by the sword, but there’s also a famine. And pestilence and wild geese. And that’s really what we will see as the cities become worse. You see the pestilence brought by the wild beasts of the earth. Some people believe that to be rats. Now, I don’t know that I believe that to be entirely the case. I believe that the bees here are plural, so it could include rats and those are definitely, uh, an animal that brings pestilence.
Eh, earlier this story, we saw that the rats were bringing with them flees and the return of diseases that many people had thought we had eradicated from planet earth, or at least from the United States of America. But as we become more lawless, as we become more accepting of a bad behavior, sinful behavior, well, the pestilence returns, yes, we were pretty effective with vaccines. But now we have a whole lot of people who refuse to get vaccines. You know, whether they’re right or not, time will tell. Usually when you don’t get vaccines, it allows diseases to spread. And we have a whole lot of people coming into the country who’ve never been vaccinated, that’s for sure. And then bring it in diseases that well have been eradicated from the United States, but interestingly enough as they move into American cities that are filled with filth, well the diseases that they bring can be passed on by rat infestations and the rats being infested by fleas.
I mean pretty quickly you see a perfect storm developing and this is really something that develops as a direct result of second Thessalonians chapter two which describes the people making a choice, a choice to embrace unrighteousness and lawlessness and to really allow the rise of the lawless one and it is also my argument that an addition to an actual antichrist who is the lawless one, that there are many antichrist. This we learned from first John, you see the apostle John understood that there was a spirit of antichrist and that there were many antichrist, but that there was ultimately a singular antichrist, one to rule them all, if you will. The fact is that what we’re really dealing with is the spirit of antichrist overtaking so many people in our population. As we reject God and we try to drive godly, good laws out of our system and allow our cities to become cesspools to become breeding grounds for bad behavior.
Whether that bad behavior be a drug abuse, whether that bad behavior is allowing people to live well more like animals than like people we don’t ask them or tell them that it’s not okay to sleep on the sidewalk, that it’s really not acceptable to defecate on public land or private land or any land that we have plenty of public porta-potties and public restrooms. I mean we’ve built them all over the place in most major cities and just about anywhere you want to drive. I mean in my state of New Mexico, you can drive about 30 minutes and come across a well maintained public restroom. You don’t have to go on the side of the road. And the fact is that what is happening is really a debased mind to, because of our rejection of God and his ways, there are consequences to sin. I mean, you take Panera bread, they are learning the hard way that socialism doesn’t really work there.
Really what you want is a quality charity organization, but Pinera, Panera bread’s socialist, pay what you want, experiment. Well, it’s failed miserably. How does this tie into everything else? Well, it’s this deprived mine, this debased mind that doesn’t allow people to think correctly. Panera bread has shuttered the last of its ideologically driven pay what you want. Restaurants, the socially tins ventures were called Panera cares and the higher ups have finally figured out that caring is not synonymous with a viable business model. In February 15 the final Panera cares located in Boston. We’ll close the website eater, gives Panera cares history and provides a company’s motivation behind the now defunct mission. The chain opened its first donation based community cafe in St Louis, Missouri in 2010 under the model championed by the company’s founder Ron [inaudible], the restaurant operator like a typical Panera, but offered meals at a suggested donation price with the goal of raising awareness about food insecurity.
In many ways, this whole experiment is ultimately a test of humanity. Shai said in a Ted talk later that year when people pay for it, when people come in and value it, it appears the answer is a rezoning. No food insecurity. Well, having a pretty good idea of what the term means. Uh, the writer of this article and PJ media still looked it up. According to feeding Texas food insecurity offers and accepted method for measuring food deprivation. You know, who’s probably suffering from food insecurity. The employees of Panera cares who are no longer employed and no longer received paychecks. He can’t buy food if you don’t have a job. And providing jobs is only assured if companies are focused on making money. If Pinera had cared more about making money, then promoting a constantly refuted ideology, it’s employees would still be receiving paychecks. Frighteningly though a growing segment of the populous seems to be allergic to common sense economic principles.
You see, what they really should have done is donated, uh, some of their profits to feeding the hungry. You see, the Bible’s very clear. We should work with our hands to get what we need to get the food that we need and then donate. What we don’t need to, those that have need of it, encouraging them to work as well. Because if a man will not work, he really should not eat. That’s a biblical principle. Well, one less a story of democratic, well maybe not necessarily, well it is democratic, but really left us godless. Left us a policy gone bad is it comes from the city of Portland, Oregon. This from Fox News over the objection of the city’s police chief and mayor, Portland, Oregon City Council on Wednesday narrowly voted to stop cooperating with the FBI’s joint terrorism task force or Jay TTF, citing alleged surveillance of left wing activists and arguing that the part is our partnership between local officials and federal authorities was ultimately ineffective.
Law enforcement officials said a similar decision by San Francisco officials in 2017 had endangered the public and that the New York police departments, uh, membership in the JTTF had helped foil numerous terrorists including would be times square bomber. Uh, Feisal Shazad Portland, a very boy, I’m having trouble with a lot of these words. A variantly left wing city who’s mayor has said he can’t wait to leave office. Has had a rocky relationship with the JTTF, the city’s joint or the city joined the partnership in the 1990s. Left shortly after the September 11th, 2001 terrorist attacks and signed back up in 2015. The latest split with the JTTF wasn’t narrow one with mayor Ted Wheeler, who mattered late last year, that he can’t wait to leave his job and another commissioner voicing support for the law enforcement coalition. But other officials in the city’s leadership took a dimmer view of the FBI’s role in the city.
Here’s the thing, Portland has actually been having huge trouble with many on the left, uh, destroying the city. The, uh, Portland rally turned bloody. We’ve, uh, they’ve actually seen the left wing groups, uh, create huge disruptions, create massive, uh, trash piles. And again, more of this desiccation going on in city streets. Uh, the fact is that Antifa and black lives matter protesters bullied and elderly motorists verbally attacked to senior citizen in a wheelchair and disrupt traffic during a weekend demonstration caught in a series of stunning videos that also showed no police presence as the chaos unfolded. The group of more than a hundred people initially began marching through the streets of the, of the Oregon city to protest the death of Patrick Kimmons, who was fatally shot by police September 30th after a gun fight that left two men wounded at a parking near southwest third avenue with the scene quickly erupted into violence as footage showed bystanders bleeding from the head on sidewalks.
So the fact is that law enforcement and a breakdown of the local order and even hygiene or nothing new for Portland, last summer, Portland city officials acknowledged that they would clean up a what resonance is called a disgusting occupy ice camp, setting up a set up to protest immigrations and customs enforcement. But in a statement, FBI officials in Oregon said they understood the community’s frustrations and that their mission will remain unaffected. So here’s the thing, city of Portland does not want to cooperate with the FBI, but the FBI is still going to do its job in Portland. But the city’s mayor and the city council will not do their job and enforce the laws of the city. And so that city is becoming had garbage heap as well. This is the result of rebellion against the Lord. This is the result of the godless left agenda to get rid of law and order and replace it with hell on earth, to actually welcome disorder, to welcome disease, to welcome the breakdown of society.
That’s why they embrace socialism. That’s why they embrace lawlessness. That’s why they embrace all sorts of immorality. Why? Because they are children of their father. The devil, harsh language maybe, but it’s the truth. You see, as long as we wallow in our sin and do not acknowledge that we are in rebellion against God, these things will only get worse. And I’m telling you, you’re going to go to one of these major American cities before lawn and decide you never want to return. You think that you’re going to have a good time in a city that used to be known for its beauty, used to be known for its wealth and find that these cities have become cesspools have become the center of what is most wrong when a society rejects God, the Bible is very clear piece. And so many good things come from seeking the Lord. And we see from these American cities what comes from rejecting God. And it’s not pretty well, may not be true for uni. Let us seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness so that the good things can be added to our lives. God bless you.
