Texas Off-Road Enthusiast Rescues 500 Drivers Stranded on Icy Roads With Truck Dubbed ‘The Beast’

March 1, 2021 
Updated: March 9, 2021

“It was like a sea of cars,” he said, describing his first rescue on Feb. 14. “Some people were stuck in snowbanks and ditches.” An avid off-road driver, Ryan’s work truck, dubbed “The Beast,” is conveniently outfitted with chains, hooks, and recovery tow straps. According to the adventurer, the white 2010 Chevrolet Silverado can tow over 40,000 pounds (approx 18,000 kg).

“I had all my gear, so I thought, ‘let me just help,’” he said. “As fast as I was clearing cars out, people were pulling in and getting stuck.”

Where is our war cry? The ancient Hebrews had a war cry they would utter upon the fields of battle: “Rak Chazak!” In this intense encouragement, Eric Ludy describes the meaning behind Rak Chazak and declares that we have the armory of heaven and everything we need for life and godliness to push back the enemy forces. Christians are not to be pushed around but to stand strong and have good courage!

"rak chazak" doesn't mean "be strong and courageous". It means "just be strong". (spoken to a male).

It is spelled רק חזק.

"be strong and courageous" is "chazak va'emats" - חזק ואמץ, again, spoken to a male. For a female it's חזקי ואמצי, for plural males (or a mixed group) it is חזקו ואמצו and for plural females it's חזקנה ואמצנה.

The original biblical sentence (Joshua 1,7) was "rak chazak va'emats" - just be strong and courageous.

Joshua 1:9: “Have I not commanded you be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:9)

Note: Although "chazak" is spelled with a "ch" in English transliteration, it's pronounced as a rough consonant similar to pronouncing "loch" in Scottish. Listen carefully to the verse recited in Hebrew.

God is sending His children to America.
An interesting concept: Devolution

That is, the opposite of centralized control, e.g., rule from Washington DC, the feds, and those puppet masters of the visible "leaders".

Think of the heads of local communities really answerable to the "folk" in an old fashioned Town Hall fashion.

Another thought:

It's true most people pay attention to just those matters that affect them directly: the price of gasoline to fill the tank of their vehicle, the tab they must pay to exit the grocery store with food.

So long as daily life rolls along relatively smoothly, the far away masters are left to do as they like. MSM broadcasts the approved "party line". Dissenters are censored or silenced.

The masses must be SHOWN the corruption, not simply TOLD about it.

There is still common decency. There is still a reaction of horror at revelations of abuse, cheating and all the other evils of this world.

It's a rough way to wake up, but it seems a bucket of cold water in the face is required to get the drunk to sober up and become useful!

Communist Tactics to Force Self-Censorship Sweeping America

Vague Rules

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP), the world’s most notorious censor of free speech, has for decades used the method of making its policies intentionally vague. During its past political campaigns, for example, the central leadership would issue a decree that “rightists” and “counterrevolutionaries” were to be punished. The next lower rung of Party officials wouldn’t be told what exactly makes one a “rightist” or a “counterrevolutionary” and perhaps not even what the punishment should be. No official, however, would want to be seen as too lenient—that would carry the risk of being labeled oneself. As such, each successive level of bureaucracy would intensify its interpretation of the policy, leading to ever more extreme results. In some periods, the hysteria went far beyond self-censorship, as even refraining from political speech wasn’t enough.

The Bureaucracy of the Absurd - Law & Liberty

BOOK REVIEW

Henry T. Edmondson III

Robert Menasse’s The Capital opens up a new genre that might be called “Novels About the European Commission.” Some wit will protest: “But the European Union has been producing fiction for decades!” Be that as it may, if the category is widened to “Novels About Bureaucracy,” then The Capital joins a venerable genre indeed, including, but by no means limited to, The Castle and The Trial by Kafka, 1984 by Orwell, Brave New World by Huxley, Catch-22 by Joseph Heller, Organization Man by William Whyte, and The Bureaucrats by Balzac. More recent possibilities include The Mammaries of the Welfare State by Upamanyu Chatterjee (2004), and (in English translation) The Time Regulation Institute by Ahmet Hamdi Tanpinar (2001).
