The Labyrinth of Lies :: By Bill Wilson

Americans are shocked that there are millions of people who are well over 100 years old on the Social Security rolls. In fact, there are 12,422,966 people over the age of 120 on the Social Security rolls.

  • Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) leader Elon Musk says Social Security Administration data indicates the number of people eligible for Social Security is more than 398 million, yet the Census Bureau estimates the national population to be roughly 341 million.

In a February 17 tweet on X, Musk said,

  • “This might be the biggest fraud in history.”

The Guinness Book of World Records reports that the world’s oldest living person is 116, but Social Security rolls have people older than that by more than double. It gets worse.

President Trump, on February 18, read down the list, and it just got more incredible the further he went. He said,

  • “From 90 to 99, Social Security: 6,054,000 people. Well, that’s okay. Maybe that’s possible. You know, 90 to 99. Maybe it’s possible….
  • But people that live to 100 to 109: 4,734,000. Wow, that’s a lot. That means over 100 years old.
  • There are 4 million people… people that are 120 years old, up to 129: 3,472,000 people. Wow….
  • People from 130 years old to 139 years old: 3,936,000. Wow.
  • I wonder if people are getting paid with all this. I mean, are these checks — and that’s what we’re checking right now.
  • People from 140 years old to 149 years old: 3,542,000.
  • 140 years and beyond. Now — now we’re really going because we’re looking to break the record by 25 years.
  • People from 150 years old to 159 years old: 1,345,000…. Wait a minute.
  • People from 160 years old to 169 years: 121,000. So, 160-year-old people.
  • 170 to 179 years old: 6,087.
  • But now let’s go into the real numbers. From 200 to 209 years old: 879 people. From 210 years old — I haven’t met any of them. And if I did, I’d — I would bless them. I would — I would worship the ground they walk on. Two hundred and ten to two hundred and nineteen years: eight hundred and sixty-six. From 220 years old to 229 years old: 1,039. And then, you have two people–from 240 years old to 249 years old: one person. And there’s one person that’s 360 years old.”

Social Security’s Acting Commissioner Lee Dudek released a statement the same day saying he welcomes DOGE audits but that we should pump the brakes before drawing conclusions. Dudek said,

“The reported data are people in our records with a Social Security number who do not have a date of death associated with their record. These individuals are not necessarily receiving benefits.”

But see, this is a huge problem. It’s not only Social Security with dead people still on the rolls; the voter rolls have a lot more dead people, which opens the door to a whole mess of fraud—Social Security, money laundering, human trafficking, voter integrity—to name a few.

The 9th Commandment is “Thou shalt not bear false witness.”

Well, somebody has been perpetrating a labyrinth of lies for a long time. And there is much darkness in them.

Are You Set Apart from the World? :: By Bill Wilson

The LORD brought the Israelites to freedom from Egyptian slavery. But there was a long road ahead to remove the Egyptian pagan culture from the Israelites. The LORD defeated all the major pagan gods of Egypt through the plagues. As the LORD settled the Israelites between Egypt and Canaan, He began the process of setting apart the Israelites as His own people. The commandments established a covenant between the LORD and the Israelites. The laws emanating from those commandments further separated the Israelites from the pagans. Herein, laws on body markings, clothing, haircuts, etc., were part of a holiness code to set apart God’s children from the world. The concept remains today.

In Exodus 18:1-20:23, Moses’s father-in-law Jethro heard about how the LORD had delivered the Israelites from Egypt, and came to meet Moses in the land of Refidim. Moses told Jethro all that the LORD had done to Pharaoh, and Jethro proclaimed that He was greater than all of the gods, and he made sacrifices to ADONAI. Then Jethro ate a meal before the LORD with Moses, Aaron, and the 70 elders appointed according to Jethro’s instructions to Moses. After that, Jethro returned to his country. Midrash, Jewish tradition, says that Jethro became a convert of the LORD. Then Moses and the Israelite people left Refidim and set up camp at Sinai—the very place that Moses was commissioned by the LORD at the burning bush.

In Exodus 19:4-6, God called to Moses from the mountain and said, “You have seen what I did to the Egyptians and how I carried you on eagle’s wings and brought you to myself. Now if you will pay careful attention to what I say and keep my covenant, you will be my own special treasure from among all the peoples…and you will be a kingdom of priests forever, a nation set apart.”

Moses had the people prepare to meet the LORD on the third day, 49 days after Passover. Tradition says that was on the sixth day of Sivan, which is later commemorated as Shavuot—Feast of Weeks. This was the Revelation of the LORD to the nation of Israel, as they would witness Him speaking to Moses from Mount Sinai, and establishing His Torah—Word to a nation set apart. Fast forward to the days of Christ and the establishment of the church at Pentecost.

Jesus is a greater level of revelation as the Word of God, as written in John 1:1, “In the beginning was the word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” He does not replace Torah but fulfills and explains it. And although Jesus’ followers don’t replace Israel, we also, according to 1 Peter 2:9, are “a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation.”

As is written in 1 John 2:15, “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.”

Perhaps haircuts, clothing, and body marks are considered these days outdated for followers of Christ, but the concept is the same. Christ said in John 15:19, “…you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world…”

As Christ’s followers, we are to be set apart from the world, holy unto the LORD. Something to think about, right?
