What Would Draining the Swamp Accomplish?



Does humanity have the solutions for the human condition?

Most of us would agree that there is a “swamp” in the power structure that needs to be dealt with and removed, yet what would happen if this actually happened?

The bigger question is: Can humanity solve the problem of the human condition?

The human condition is a modern way of saying we are under the curse of sin and death. We are fallen and naturally disposed for destruction.

If we remained fallen without being redeemed by the faith of Jesus Christ, wouldn’t removing the swamp just be a temporary solution?

Wouldn’t the swamp just come back and take over power again eventually?

This may sound like a black pill perspective to those looking for solutions from humans instead of God, and in truth, it is a fatalistic perspective when it comes to humans being able to solve the problems of fallen humanity.

See, if somehow we were able to drain the swamp and remove the bad apples from the power structure, they would simply come back into power eventually because wicked people who don’t follow the commandments of God, will always have the advantage over those who do things the right way.

There will always be those who are willing to do evil to gain power, therefore, they will always have an advantage over those who are not willing to do evil to gain power.

This means simply that if the swamp was drained, it would come back again and again as long as we are cursed with sin and death.

Even for those who don’t believe in the Holy Bible, this would be the reasonable and logical outcome.

Yet, if the powers to be make it seem like they are draining the swamp, this would work to at least gain popular support for their efforts. This support could then be used to manipulate and deceive the majority of people into going along with their agenda.

The deception works like this: The powers to be create the problems under one political banner and then solve the problems under a different political banner — the end result being more control and power to help them further their ultimate goals.

Essentially, the left and right political banners are working together to manipulate and control the hearts and minds of the people they are trying to control and brainwash.

One side is the proverbial swamp and one side is the heroes who are trying to drain the swamp.

Draining the swamp sounds good, yet even if it was fully drained, how long would it be before it was back?

It seems to me, people are desperate to create a heaven on earth, for humanity to solve the human condition. Mostly, the solution involves technology, which is exactly what the powers to be want us to believe.

See, technology will be used to control the populace, so making it seem like the solution means it will be supported and adopted by the majority of people.

Just like conservatism and theocracy seem like the solution to the liberal communist problems they’ve been creating, but will it simply be used in the end to control and deceive the populace?

“Christians” are too interested in saving their lives and country to see past the deception. This is natural for the carnal man.

The spiritual man, the inner man, knows the Holy Bible is true, and there is no solution to sin and death (the human condition), except for the faith of Jesus Christ, to be reconciled back to our Creator. This doesn’t reverse the inevitable conclusion for this world, which is run by Satan, yet it does solve the problem of our souls being either destroyed or attaining eternal life with God in heaven.

The conclusion for this world is destruction according to the Holy Bible, so why are so many Christians under the deception that they can save this world and make it Christian? Well, maybe they don’t believe God knows what He is doing?

The so called Christians who are in power don’t want to submit to God’s Word, cause it would mean they might have to lose their money, stuff, status, and even life. It would mean their little rich kingdoms built with fiat currency through a corrupt system would be lost.

Rather, it sounds better to them to rule and reign under the world system, and simply call it Christian, much like the Catholic system has done for thousands of years.

With these thoughts in mind, is draining the swamp really the answer to humanity’s problems, or is it just a ruse to gain support from the populace who knows the system is rotten to the core?

Even if the swamp was drained completely, would humanity then be free? Or, would the swamp simply come back eventually to put us in the same position as before?

It seems logical and reasonable to conclude that humanity doesn’t have the solution for the human condition, and the most destructive perspective is to believe it does.

In truth, only the faith of Jesus Christ is the solution to sin and death, and if this was widely understood, the swamp wouldn’t have any power. The real problem is this isn’t widely understood and probably never will be, therefore, the swamp will always have the power in this fallen world.

While we should stand for what is right and defend the truth, we should also hold a Biblical world view and not try to twist it to mean what we wish it would. Considering how humans have acted throughout history to each other, believing humans have the answer to the human condition is the ultimate wishful thinking.

Opinion: Most communities in Oregon and the US are Republican, yet Democrats are in charge

2022 Oregon Governor Election Photo  Assuming election results are valid in Oregon, which does take a lot of faith these days after the questions about the 2020 US Presidential election arose, Democrat Tina Kotek won the Governor’s race in 2022 by a slim margin over Republican Christine Drazan. The interesting aspect of this win is how many of Oregon’s 36 counties voted Republican vs. Democrat. Looking at the political map, almost the entire state is red with only a few small counties in the northwest having the blue color. Specifically, there were 7 counties that voted Democrat and 29 that voted Republican. The difference is the 7 counties voting blue are the most populous counties, also the counties with the most residents coming from other states – much like Tina Kotek herself, a transplant from Pennsylvania . Tina only won the campaign to be Oregon’s 39th Governor by 66,727 votes over Christine Drazan. Said in another way, the Democrats pulled off another close election with m...
