Recut of the Original Presentation PATRIOTS PURIM by SpaceShot76 and Juan O Savin on March 11 2020 (also the date of Purim in 2020) which was lost as far as the original so I used pictures from Esther: A Courageous Queen's Journey - Full Movie available here: https://youtu.be/ciAL0c6Hw-U?si=aeWCScHunSylFChT "Esther: A Courageous Queen's Journey" is a captivating full-length movie that brings to life the biblical story of Esther. Set in ancient Persia, the film follows the remarkable journey of Esther, a Jewish orphan who becomes a queen and finds herself in a position to save her people from destruction. Faced with danger and uncertainty, Esther displays courage, faith, and unwavering determination as she navigates the treacherous palace politics and risks her own life to protect her community. Juan interweaves the events that came about during this time in PERSIA 482BC and events even to today. Why is Purim important today? Because of the significance of the Woman ESTHER that stood strong in righteousness and changed the course of history and mankind. She tells the story of a Jew that marries a Gentile. And it is also called the BOOK of the PROVIDENCE of God. This is a short history. https://youtu.be/WUX8q9ACEGc?si=cSWNrTonkRfx2jMo This year PURIM is celebrated on the DATE of 3 13 2025. This too becomes an important DELTA that came about 5 years ago Juan reminded me, an Emergency Declaration made by President Trump. On March 13, 2020, the President declared the ongoing Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic of sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant an emergency declaration for all states, tribes, territories, and the District of Columbia pursuant to section 501 (b) of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121-5207 (the “Stafford Act”). State, Territorial, Tribal, local government entities and certain private non-profit (PNP) organizations are eligible to apply for Public Assistance.

Proverbs 6:16 - 6:19 The SEVEN deadly SINS- 16: These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: 17: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 18: An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, 19: A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren. Fox News received 42,000 hours of Video Footage of the PEACEFUL GATHERING at the CAPITOL Recorded on JANUARY 6th 2021 from Sen. McCarthy Speaker of the HOUSE.

THE TRUTH Many of these prisoners had their homes raided by the FBI, lost their livelihoods, have been separated from their friends and families and had their reputations ruined by entrenched politicians on both sides of the aisle. Dozens still sit in prison without a trial. Several were convicted and sent to prison for walking into an open door of the US Capitol and leaving minutes later when asked. WHAT HAS BEEN DONE??? Chris Wray is STILL hunting down Trump supporters who stood outside the US Capitol that day.

This is the famous PRESENTATION From TWO YEARS AGO that Juan with the Flyover Conservatives recorded while driving. It was the middle of the night, Christmas 1776, when General George Washington crossed the river to attack the Hessians (hired German mercenaries) at the Battle of Trenton. By the morning of Dec 26, Washington had an army of 2400 soldiers, 200 horses and 18 pieces of artillery on the New Jersey side of the Delaware. The army then marched nine miles and defeated the better rested Hessian soldiers camped out in Trenton. Historians say Washington’s success marked a significant victory for the Continental army and a renewed confidence in the Revolution. A very risky and dangerous plan to give a win to the Patriot Army, during the First Revolutionary War that was GUIDED by GOD from a PRAYER and VISION of Angels by General Washington Himself. This great moment in the HISTORY of our COUNTRY, Juan describes as a turning point to the WAR that certainly can be applied to where we are now in the SECOND Revolutionary War. Juan tells us the "password" for the PATRIOTS was "Victory or Death". With Pictures and Reenactments from The Winter Patriots: A Revolutionary War Tale (Full Movie) Fundraising Program by George Washington's Mount Vernon. Watch as Washington crosses the river once more and fights the British and Hessians on the Assunpink Creek and at the Battle of Princeton. If nothing else, all the elements for potential disaster were with Washington and his men as they crossed the Delaware River from the icy Pennsylvania shoreline to the equally frozen banks of New Jersey, followed by an eight-mile march to the objective – the town of Trenton. The river – swollen and swift moving – was full of wide, thick sheets of solid ice. And unlike the romanticized portrayal of the operation in the famous painting by Emanuel Leutze (the one with Washington standing in his dramatic, martial pose; his determined face turned toward the far side of the river), the actual crossing was made in the dead of night, in a gale-like wind and a blinding sleet and snowstorm. Odds are, Washington would have been hunkered down in one of the 66-ft-long DURHAM wooden boats, draped in his cloak, stoically enduring the bitter cold with his soldiers, some of whom were rowing or poling the boats against the ice and the current. WASHINGTON’S STRATEGIC CONCERNS The decision for the crossing and the subsequent raid on Trenton was based on Washington’s belief that he had to do something. Otherwise – as he penned in a private letter – “the game will be pretty near up.” To the easily disheartened and the cut-and-runners, it might have seemed “the game” was indeed already “up.” After all, many of Washington’s Continental Army were wounded, sick, and demoralized. Recent losses to the British had been severe. Desertion numbers were rising, and enlistment terms were almost up. Reinforcements were poorly trained and ill-equipped. Ammunition was in short supply. The soldiers were not properly outfitted for extreme winter conditions: Clothing was spare. Many men were in rags, some “naked,” according to Washington’s own account. Most had broken shoes or no shoes at all. THE PLAN The mission itself, though a huge gamble, was tactically simple. Washington, personally leading a force of just under 2,500 men, would cross the river undetected, march toward Trenton, and attack the enemy garrisoned in the town at dawn. Two of Washington’s other commanders, Generals John Cadwalader and James Ewing, were also directed to cross: Cadwalader’s force was to cross and attack a second garrison near Bordentown. Ewing’s force was to cross and block the enemy’s escape at Trenton. Both commanders, discouraged by the weather and the river, aborted their own operations. But according to Maurice Matloff’s American Military History (the U.S. Army’s official history), “Driven by Washington’s indomitable will, the main force did cross as planned.” Speed of movement, surprise, maneuver, violence of action, and the plan’s simplicity were all key. And fortunately, the elements all came together. The factors in Washington’s favor were clear: The weather was so bad that no one believed the Continentals would attempt a river crossing followed by a forced march, much less at night. The Continentals were numerically – and perceived to be qualitatively – inferior to the British Army. The Hessians, mercenaries allied to the British and who were garrisoned in Trenton, had a battlefield reputation that far exceeded their actual combat prowess. And no one believed the weary Americans would want to attempt anything with anyone on Christmas. THE CROSSING Hours before kickoff, Washington had his officers read to the men excerpts of Thomas Paine’s The American Crisis, a portion of which reads: “These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict the more glorious the triumph.” By 4:00 p.m. the force was gathered at McKonkey’s Ferry, the launching point for the mission. The watchword, “Victory or death,” was given. When darkness set in, the men climbed into the boats and began easing out into the black river. Back and forth throughout the night and into the wee hours of the 26th, the boat crews ferried the little army, a few horses, and 18 cannon across the Delaware. The crossing was complete by 4 a.m., but two hours behind schedule, and the temperatures were plummeting. At least two men, exhausted and falling asleep in the snow, froze to death.

The start of the Year of the Lord 1623 was to be the SECOND Thanksgiving. Creating God's Commonwealth and the Law became front and Center over the next many years in creating COMMERCE. This is the way AMERICA was founded and the PILGRIMS had a very important method of determining how the Will of God through JUSTICE and PENANCE were resolved in creating and overcoming difficulties in the Early days of Colonial America. In 1636 the Primary issues were Social Order and the Pilgrims having learned from the Puritans before them to became more tolerant of people. After PENANCE to the Word of God and that had done Service with the elders approval they were brought back in. And with the agreement that they had satisfied God and could be an example to their humility.

V for Vendetta is a 2005 dystopian political action film directed by James McTeigue (in his feature directorial debut) from a screenplay by the Wachowskis. It is based on the 1988–89 DC Vertigo Comics limited series of the same title by Alan Moore, David Lloyd, and Tony Weare. The film, set in a future where a fascist totalitarian regime has subjugated the UK, centers on V (portrayed by Hugo Weaving), an anarchist and masked freedom fighter who attempts to ignite a revolution through elaborate terrorist acts, and on Evey Hammond (portrayed by Natalie Portman), a young woman caught up in V's mission. As a film about the struggle between freedom and the state, V for Vendetta takes imagery from many classic totalitarian icons both real and fictional, including the Third Reich and George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four. For example, Adam Sutler primarily appears on large video screens and on portraits in people's homes, both common features among modern totalitarian regimes and reminiscent of the image of Big Brother. There is also the state's use of mass surveillance, such as closed-circuit television, on its citizens – reminiscent of the comprehensive mass surveillance systems currently deployed in many nations, such as China or the United Kingdom.

Part two discusses the meeting of the Native American (in those days call INDIANS) that lived in Virginia Colony the area that Bradford landed and set up the first Colony at PLYMOUTH. The encounter was very interesting by today's STORIES and actually resulted in the Survival of those early Immigrants to the New World. The Feast itself is discussed after the hardship of winter.. where FAITH was the nourishment and hardship was considered "the WILL OF GOD".

This is the lead up to the arrival of the Mayflower in Plymouth. History shows that the Voyage was not easy for the Pilgrims. They endured many hardships and persevered with GODS GUIDANCE at every turn. The pictures and part of the interviews from the mentions of a Pastor and Historian are not used in Voice but given credit for some of the information used. Who were the people of the Plymouth Colony and why did they hold a feast of celebration in 1621 which we now call the first Thanksgiving? How did they manage that first winter in the wilderness? Why are these few settlers in New England held in such high esteem today when they considered their accomplishments all to be failures? And, what about those Puritans? Do they deserve the grim image history has given them? Learn the answers to these questions and more in this special Thanksgiving Day holiday history program. This program Juan mentions the STORY of THANKSGIVING by Michael Medved. This is his BIO: Born in Philadelphia, Michael attended public schools in San Diego and Los Angeles before starting Yale at age 16 as a National Merit Scholar. He majored in American History and graduated with honors, before attending Yale Law School, where his classmates included Bill and Hillary Clinton. After several years as a campaign speechwriter and political consultant, Michael wrote his first bestseller at age 26—WHAT REALLY HAPPENED TO THE CLASS OF ’65?, a skeptical reconsideration of the “counterculture” of the 1960s that became a weekly TV series on NBC. Michael’s subsequent 12 books include THE SHADOW PRESIDENTS, hailed as the definitive history of White House chiefs of staff; HOLLYWOOD VS. AMERICA,a stinging indictment of the entertainment industry; and RIGHT TURNS, which tells the story of Michael’s transformation from “punk liberal activist to lovable conservative curmudgeon.” THE 10 BIG LIES ABOUT AMERICA (2008) and THE 5 BIG LIES ABOUT AMERICAN BUSINESS (2010), confront the most common smears against the United States and its free market system. Medved’s most recent books, THE AMERICAN MIRACLE: DIVINE PROVIDENCE IN THE RISE OF THE REPUBLIC and GOD’S HAND ON AMERICA: DIVINE PROVIDENCE IN THE MODERN ERA, describe astonishing incidents in which luck, nature or some higher power seemed to intervene on behalf the United States. In the books, Michael argues that a “pattern of happy accidents” is still a pattern, and sides with the Founders in seeing America as “fortune’s favorite” and “destiny’s darling.” Michael’s columns on politics and media appear frequently in USA Today, where he is a member of the Board of Contributors. His work as a film critic, based on short-lived experience as a Hollywood screen writer, featured positions at CNN (1980-84), Great Britain’s Channel 4 Network (1984), and PBS (1985-96) where he served as co-host of the popular weekly show Sneak Previews. He was also Chief Film Critic of the New York Post for five years before launching his daily radio show in 1996. Michael has been married for 33 years to clinical psychologist Dr. Diane Medved, a bestselling author in her own right (THE CASE AGAINST DIVORCE). Diane’s latest book, DON’T DIVORCE: POWERFUL ARGUMENT FOR SAVING AND REVITALIZING YOUR MARRIAGE, was released in March, 2017. They live in the Seattle area where they raised their three children.

Juan on Halloween 10 31 from Linda Paris 2019 presentation with edits and additions. Due to bad sound quality but great content I have posted here the version from Prepare for Change from 10 31 2020. https://rumble.com/user/PrepareforChangeOrg All Hallows Eve and All Hallows Day, Oct 31st and November 1st typically, are days that signify multiple different types of occult Religious celebrations. It is all about these common beliefs in the various Pagan, Celtic, Druid and now Wiccan (or Witchcraft which is a spiritual system that fosters the free thought and will of the individual) Celebrations. Satanic groups that celebrate Blood Sacrifice on this day, believe that this was the time of year, when the membrane or the veil of separation between the living and the Spirit World could be crossed over to enter into the Spiritual realm of the dead. And they could converse with spirits, dead relatives and Demons and get knowledge or “information” that was important in the future. Later to safely return to this physical realm with that knowledge. So “they” think that walking between the worlds of the nether regions with the dead is possible. But the living, from a biblical perspective, within this audience which I think is is largely a church oriented community, that tries to do spells or to get information about the future.. this is not right thinking. Imagine these practices, every one of them that is talked about, during this Halloween celebration is something that is specifically against Biblical teachings! A setting or celebration seen casually.. that is assumed to be just fun! I take you to a picture from the other day at a setting, where they had this huge banner out in front of a Church, a big Halloween celebration for the kids... and everybody knows, they are to come in, with their costumes and candy and masks for the big Halloween Event. The Costumes, the Pumpkins the spooky music the symbols that are actually Satanic in origin or Pagan in Spirit.. come into Physical reality! You might know that the Church and their whole operation.. they don’t “mean” to replicate a Pagan tradition but let me tell you what that tradition actually was based on. In the words of the Samhaim (So- when) “occult” tradition.... “Originally known as the "Feast of the Dead" this sabbat was celebrated in Celtic countries by leaving food offerings on altars and doorsteps for the "wandering dead". Today a lot of practitioners still carry out that tradition. Single candles were lit and left in a window to help guide the spirits of ancestors and loved ones home. Extra chairs were set to the table and around the hearth for the unseen guest. The silent dinner where it was thought the “communication” with the dead was possible. Apples were buried along roadsides and paths for spirits who were lost or had no descendants to provide for them. Turnips were hollowed out and carved to look like protective spirits, for this was a night of magic and chaos.” In a Real Pagan setting.. three days before the ultimate celebration of blood sacrifice all the “hearth” fires were extinguished. And for Three Days they prepared for the culling and Slaughter of the herds that were to be prepared around a main platform in the Town center. The festivities included, the ones up to be killed were contained in Wooden crates or staked to the ground with ropes and chains. Knives sharpened, horses harnessed, children helped gathering wood and brush for the main fire location. Women prepared the Salt tanks and dug pits for the meat preservation and to then dry it, for the winters food supply. The slaves that were a part of the community were brought to the High Priests for inspection. It was they that decided their fate with a process know as divination.. the casting of straws and the drawing of lots. Biblical tradition now used to decide the fate of those that were not chosen to live, but to be sacrificed for the good of the Community. They were DEAD serious. The superstition and misconception linked to this celebration by the early church, led people to take some unusual precautions to protect themselves. They adopted the tradition of dressing in frightening costumes or disguises, and displaying scary looking carved out Turnips with candles in them, to help protect them from spirits they considered to be evil. In the British Isles, the young people would disguise themselves with hideous masks and walk through the village, lighting their way with lanterns made from carved turnips. Sound familiar? So the big day arrives. The Chaos that becomes the day long festival is highlighted by the decisions from each family, that had to make a choice, as to what THEY would contribute to the High Priests in the form of Gifts, Trinkets, Clothing, Food and Sacred items. Woah to the children born of the Slaves, as they often were the ultimate Gift. And they paid with their lives. As the drums pounded the Gifts were take to the top of the hill and ceremoniously offered.. and everybody participated. You can imagine the screaming and terror.. and the act of carrying the remains of the Animals slaughtered to the hill and tossed into the “Bone Fire”. Then at the moment of highest drama .. the final thing was the sacrifice ...the offerings of the Families. And with the moment the “climax” of this Satanic Blood Ceremony. The Masks and Costumes were worn to protect the identity of those that assisted in the ceremony, because “they” were often the same ones that healed the sick and preached the Bible. A Prayer was said "Dark Father, aged Consort of the Crone, Lord of the Underworld, Hear and behold Your child this night as I honor Thee and Thy realm. I stand between Thee and Thy Lady, asking for blessing and favor. As this time-out-of-time approaches, stand ever guard as the Veil lifts, Keep safe my ancestors, and all of my loved ones As they journey to the Summerlands." In this the Child was killed. So afterwards when the fire had burned down to ashes they buried the bodies of the Children and then put a cross at the head of the grave. As that was a Cross that symbolized the death of Christ.. and the payment of the price in human flesh.. in order to be reconciled with God. And everyone takes home embers from the “Bone fire” now called Bonfire.. for the hearth in ones home to cook food, stay warm and keep ones desire for the community unity.. that was promised in this ceremony for another year. And so that is the mixed apology. This ceremony is inter mixed with two divergent thoughts sustaining life and committing murder... the two don't go together but they're so interwoven in the Communities minds and that's part of the Satanic agenda. Which is to convoluted things in such a way that you can't think straight. Where you're not really thinking about what you're doing! Many of these things are hidden in plain sight. Oh and if you did not provide a human sacrifice? They would come to your house at some time in the future wearing masks and costumes and steal away the first born son or a daughter that was the most fair in looks.. to sacrifice or enslave to do their bidding. The signal they would give to those that DID sacrifice was that Turnip filled with blood that sat outside the main door of the home all year, that symbol we now light with a silly face on it, to show that that home would not be subjected to being “tricked” because they had already supplied the “treat”. In the Forgotten Book of Eden (a series of Stories handed down not included in the King James Bible).. Satan is portrayed as repeatedly coming again disguising himself as an “angel of light” and singing the praises of God in heaven! And all of his demon escorts portraying themselves as speaking of all these wonderful things about heaven and praising God in heaven. When really the Demons had fooled Adam and Eve into believing that they were angels sent down from heaven and that they could help them. All at the same time trying to lead them astray with all of this goodness and righteous thought and everything else and then at the end it was a trap every time! The RELIGIONS are always a TARGET to get people to drop their guard and go along blindly with this RUSE. When in reality they are a “snake in the grass” the “Serpent” that over and over created DOUBT in their FAITH of GOD. And destroys their TRUST in GOD. And the scriptures are pretty clear ...as the first five books of the Bible about the Halloween traditions... every one of them refers to the ONE TRUE GOD. NOT SATAN that we all have been subjected to his deceptions... on Halloween. Is this a Holiday we should be repeating every year? To celebrate Bone fires and fear and Child Sacrifice? With our innocents in costumes carrying bags of Candy offered to them so they are not taken away to be slaughtered? I only ask this question because of the horror that so many early Christians had to think through Generations and generations ago. Must we repeat this? Or can we become what we were given by Jesus Christ who paid the ultimate price already. So we can say “Slaves No More”. And mean it. TRUST, FAITH and GOD ALMIGHTY. Pray. In Jesus’ name. Amen. Ephesians 5:7-15 Don’t participate in the things these people do. For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light! For this light within you produces only what is good and right and true. Carefully determine what pleases the Lord. Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, expose them. It is shameful even to talk about the things that ungodly people do in secret. But their evil intentions will be exposed when the light shines on them, for the light makes everything visible. This is why it is said, “Awake, O sleeper, rise up from the dead, and Christ will give you light.” So be careful how you live.

The Pagan Roots of Impeachment stemming from the festival and sacrifice known as the “King of Misrule". Read here by the writer JUAN O SAVIN The magician casts his spells with a magic wand and according to legend, the most powerful wands are made with wood from a holly tree; so out in southern California where I used to live they named the place where all the movie magic is made…Hollywood. It's not just one building or studio; it's the whole city, working together to make magic. It's mystery and glamour, drama and life…or death, casting its spell on us. The world class magicians in this city of illusions, if they are good…, really good at their craft…can make us forget where we are when we enter into their world. The unimaginable is real, as the spectacle plays and draws us into their screens, all our senses are compelled to come closer and our heart races with every explosion; and the music calms us. We can smell the perfumed hair of the Olympian beauty. She whispers her sirens song softly, come hither; but the drum beats from the jungle, and warns us of dark forces and primordial beasts lurking beyond the fire lit night…! And for a moment its all real, we can feel ourselves there, anything is possible…its all possible. The Holly day festivals began in Roman times. It was an entire season of magic. The great holly day festival was dedicated to the pagan god Saturn and was called the Saturnalia Holly day Festival. Accounts vary, but writers from early Rome seem to agree that it originally occurred on December 25.Rome's Emperors repeatedly altered their calendars and after years of confusion, eventually settled on December 17 to 23 for the Saturnalia Festival, which encompassed the winter solstice. Like a Wizard with his wand, the highlight of the Saturnalia Holly days Festival was the fundamental and magical transformation of society. Everything was turned upside down, inside out and backwards. Normality was subverted and masters served their slaves. In various households as well as whole cities, they cast lots among the lowest and most vulgar members of the community and the winner was crowned 'The King of Misrule'. The new King was dressed in amusing finery and with an unholy anointing began to channel the unclean Spirit of Misrule. Simultaneously the willing mob who had done the deed was divided into squads and compelled to execute his decrees. As the coup began, he ordered that slaves take command of the offices of state, and he had the power to order anyone, to do anything his whim desired. As the Lord of Fools, He commanded everyone be partakers in his drunkenness and debauchery. The King of Misrule was encouraged to take any woman he desired while ordering orgies and rape. Military discipline was relaxed and the armed guardians of the state who were normally admired by friends and feared by foes, roared around the city on their chariots with loose women in tow and acting like buffoons; or worse. Parties for all was the order of the day but, in spite of all the exuberance and outward displays of gaiety, there was always an underlying tension and apprehension. Participants were continuously anxious about what the King would order next and who would fall victim to the vulgar tyrants mocking rage or unwholesome affections. This was Misrules chance to get back at anyone who had ever dismissed, slighted or derided him. Whether great or small, the axiom is still true, "Power tends to corrupt and absolute power, corrupts absolutely". Near the end of the Roman Empire, the King of Misrule's rein was nearly always ended with his literal sacrifice at Saturn's alter in the presence of his ministering fools; so the unfortunate misruling scape goat was all the more encouraged to make the most of his last days; eat drink and be merry, for at the end of your rein you die. His cult of followers spent all day, perhaps even the whole year, dreaming up sweet taunts to whisper in his ear, or, should THEY be the hapless victim, how best to exact THEIR opportunistic revenge. The rowdy bands competed in their mischievous calamities and each macabre decree had to be followed by something new and even more disgusting, or delirious. Why? because the real challenge where ever foolish tyrants rule is,…as it has always been, to try to stay on the tyrants good side so as not to suffer his wrath. The end of the magical Festival was also its Zenith; and everyone, especially the Misruler knew what certain fate awaited him as step after step higher, they mounted the sacrificial ziggurat. It's easy to understand why the hapless King of Misrule, Lording over his Fools, would want to extend the party indefinitely with that kind of finale' ahead. Disorder and chaos do not put bread on the table or build homes and repair streets. Therefore, Tartarus as it was known then, or hell as it is known now, that place where reason does not exist, is the only natural place for Misrule's rein eternal. So, with great pageantry the King of Misrule would finally arrive at the sacrificial plateau and was ceremoniously presented at the appointed hour before Saturn's alter. There, in the presence of all the other pagan gods and his now solemn band of fools, the sorcerers black magic deed was completed; either by his own hand, or if he be unwilling or unable, by another's when the knife was put to his throat. In some places he was put to his eternal rest on a fiery wicker bed or hung from an oaken tree; after which Misrules fools disbanded.
