Such an accurate insight. The occupying statist theocracy infesting this land defuses well the existence of its/their master. The patrons of Moloch (child mutilation, sacrifice and other heinous abuses — another iteration of said evil one), those who transmit and otherwise advance destructive social diseases such as socialism and all those that are substantively antithetical to the law of nature's individual sovereignty, inalienable rights and liberty are ultimately those that worship at the alter of the supreme adversary — the devil.

    How many documented cases of being  tricked by the devil are there? Does the FBI, CIA, or police have a designated departments and agents who specialize in devil deception or do we just need a better psychiatric treatment for these "victims?"

    Sillik, only from a position of extreme bigotry, ignorance and shallow dogma can your statement have been made. There is "law" (chemistry, physics / science, gravity, math, life, liberty, etc.), "philosophy of law" (natural law, legal positivism, admiralty law, etc.) and there is religion (a sacrosanct object of conscience (an ethic(s), a moral(s), a value (system) or an orientation of correctness / enlightenment) believed sufficiently conventional as to enable an attributable action).

    For the spiritually dead (maintaining a minimal of the light of Christ within them) the legal use of the term "god" (Jesus the Christ, a certain Buddha level, the devil, etc.) means a thing or event (rem & res) out side man's control such as, which way the wind blows (& outside nature's law secular jurisdiction). So, as to your ignorant question, the answer is NO documented cases. The FBI, CIA and local standing armies — being corporate offices / officers in toto aloof from We The People (police) are deception experts that would not expose their ultimate master (even if it were legally possible, and it is not). AND by psychiatric treatment, you probably mean indoctrination centers. A blaring example of the devil’s finest trick - that is, to persuade socialists and other mentally ill to not believe in his existence and corporeal man’s eternal and noble status - thus, justifying man’s inhumanity to man.

    From my perspective, whenever the truth is being spoken, God is speaking.  Whenever lies are being told, the devil is speaking.

    The devil's best trick is to convince you that lies are truth and the truth is a lie.  Simple as that.

    The truth is the truth is the truth, whether we know it or not.  But to deny that lies abound is to be 'bound' by them.

    Thus, knowing the truth breaks all fetters.  It should be no surprise then to realize that what most think is reality is in fact a fiction.  The truth already is, we need only reveal the lies, and we can see true reality, which is essentially eternal which can only be veiled but never destroyed.
