So I have formed a picture in my mind about what is going on here.
The strings have been cut. Puppet masters removed and replaced with super high tech puppeteers running a vast sting operation. A movie unfolding, all moves anticipated far out in the future with something like AI, but likely very more advanced than anything we can conceive of at this time.
Unanticipated moves are countered and corrected within the EMBS. Essentially a power so vast that the players have a god like ability to manipulate minds and environments to achieve the desired outcome. Unbelievable as it is, I am convinced it is something very close to this. (of course I could be wrong, happens all the time)
The question I have, that cannot be answered (by me) because I lack the ability to judge the spirits of those wielding such power, is:
Are the new "puppet masters" absolutely responsible for the actions of the puppets? (as they held the old ones accountable)
When we arrive (if) on the other end of this "storm" will we have actual freedom? (the kind that does not permit puppeteers and allows all things that do not infringe on other humans rights and allows personal risk)
Will the new system be dramatically different and better than it is now, or will it turn out to be the most overbearing technocratic tyrannical dictatorship the world will ever know?
I know that there is nothing new under the sun. As much power as man thinks he has, something, or someone else always has more. If it were possible to find the top of the power structure, I believe that is where God's throne exists. Ultimately all will be held accountable for how they wield the sword, regardless of what they believe.
