"If the government is really ticked at you, it wouldn't take much to shut down your car, your phone, your locks, your lights, your appliances, your mattress pad, your toilet … do you see where I'm going with this? You would become socially paralyzed."
If they take away everything, then you have nothing to lose. More likely, they will allow you just enough to scrape by, with a full workload to keep you occupied and out of trouble.
Winston Smith in the book 1984, for example, was socially paralyzed while having full-time employment, and he only broke out of it briefly before being stomped back down.
The solution is to thrive on a spiritual level, creatively deal with the physical deprivation, and wait on God.
I happened to read about the Gadarene swine in Mark 3 this morning before coming across this piece, which mentions it.
David Clements mentions Michael Cocchini. A quick internet search tells me that they've worked together before, and that a different Michael Cocchini--and a Susan Clements--went fatally missing in the Smoky Mountains. At separate times.
Feels like a rabbit hole.
Much like Jonathan Cahn connects the major demons of ancient Israel to today's United States, Clements says that the spirits of the Nephilim are here and active.

A couple months ago, I put a piece of paper on the fridge--our Scammer Prayer List. We were often getting multiple scam calls per day, and while probably none of them told us their real name, God stills knows who they are and where they live, and He surely has something better for them to do all day than bother people like us.
Two names went onto the list, and these scammers were duly prayed for--they still are--and suddenly the number of scam calls dropped, by a lot. The list still has only two names on it.
The Bible says that "the gates of hell" will not prevail against Christ's Church.
A boomer apologizes, albeit without much clarity.
"It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs," Jesus said; Matthew 15:26.
I recently understood that I am spending my life in rebuilding spiritual and practical foundations that had been foolishly undermined by previous generations.
