The Tower of Siloam Truth Rule

As I've shared here before I enjoy Jeffrey Tucker's lucid takes on the Covidian Cult lunacy that still reigns across the globe. Thing is he, as so many others, come up woefully short when concluding his brief monographs whether at his fine site, Brownstone, or on Twitter. For instance recently he wrote "The financial crisis, the lockdown crisis, the mandate crisis, the public health crisis, have all pointed to one end: a genuine medical care crisis." 

Erghk.

No, the end to which it points is the Jesuit order holding sway over powerful people to deliberately keep things really effed-up crisis.

Even so. Then what? The whatever-whatever crisis is shaped to ensure Cain's Legacy is fueled and fired up. It's what it does -- all the time, over and over and over again. Sure "Covid" may end but the Cult will continue to thrive as long as enough people like it and want it.

Nothing against Jeffrey Tucker -- again, I like him. I do. He says insightfully truthful things, that's very cool. But so many live and breathe and speak like he does. 

Here's another one, from a tweet a week or two back, and I don't have it verbatim but a paraphrase is fine, it gets across the idea: "Simple truths: 1. No one wants Covid. 2. Everyone will get it anyway. 3. Natural immunity lasts and is a good thing." 

Um. 

Where's No. 4?

You know, the one that answers the question: Then what?

The amazing thing is that Jesus answers that exact thing. He does it in His words from the beginning of the 13th chapter of Luke, in an instance that is only written there, not in any of the other gospels. It is a terrific response to anyone who is all about "Covid COVID COVID Lions and Tigers and Bears AAAGH!" The Cult is made up of very emotional people. Not making fun, either, but please -- there're the truths in Tucker's tweet there, pay attention.

But then, what did Jesus say to those people?

After a building, the cited "Tower of Siloam" fell and crushed to death 18 people, some asked Jesus, "Okay, Jesus, what of that?" The presumed subject of their inquiry was the consideration that people who have bad things happen to them are worse people for some reason and deserve those things. Sure enough that thought seems to have a prominent place in Covidian Cult thinking. If you aren't for the stated lockdown protocols then you are simply more evil than others.

Jesus was the most iconoclastically realist there ever was. Derr, of course. And hate to say it, but the unspoken pretext for His answer to the Tower of Siloam incident was just as simple a truth for No. 4 added to Tucker's tweet:

"People die...

"THEN what?"

Then Jesus adds the main thrust.

What about you? Have you repented?

BAM.

In today's world, just like it was 6,000 years ago or for however long humankind has known about the soul, people have valiantly fought death, and how many have tried to do so on their own terms. Yeah, that's cool, we all do. We'll eat a breakfast in the morning for some of a day's sustenance, then do dozens of things all the time to hold off the inevitable for a bit -- nothing wrong with that.

But have you addressed what happens after that? Because it does seem there is a feeling most people want some good thing to happen beyond the grave. Even the suicide victim is anticipating something that is not so painful beyond.

The truth is simple beyond simple, but just Tucker implies, so hard for people to grasp. Might be worth thinking about, this repentance thing. Everyone is the same, no one is exempt. The truth rule is you'll either do it, or not, this repentance thing. May want to seriously consider it, this turning to Jesus, full of Grace and Truth -- this opening up the riches of the Kingdom to any and all takers.

Sadly, you've got to completely leave the Cult.

The Rationale of an Excommunication

My recent home page piece gets a bit into my own professional life, and the experiences I have had with the now entrenched woke  hegemony. I have been an experienced and reasonably decorated school teacher for now about 35 years. Most of that time was spent teaching high school Civics and Economics in the public school system, and certainly being a devout follower of Christ I have wondered if readers of my webzine and blog might wonder, "How could you be situated in such a System institution like that?" I have indeed thought about assembling something of a comprehensive polemic to answer that question, and I'm afraid I cannot do that now. It is simply because there is so much to it, including my consideration that people like Joseph and Daniel were in the service of Caesar in some high office yet still served Christ and loved others where they were. I have also had the opportunity to share Christ's love with thousands of students, some hundred of whom actively and vo

The Wonderful Matter of Authentic Understanding

In my last home page piece I wrote a bit about this thing people believe is Artificial Intelligence .  May I firmly posit something about that thing more widely known as AI ? Something that is indeed an inviolate Truth Rule, and for which there are a number of ways to easily prove it, one of which I'll share with you right now? That Truth Rule: There is no such thing as AI. Yes, it is true. Once again for emphasis, artificial intelligence does not exist in any form, and never will. In fact, the more people even use the term "AI" or any of the language associated with it, at any time, in any context, they are carrying on a horrifically evil deceit. Yes many will screech "Oh but what about this?!" or "What about that there?!! It's amazing!"  Things that really spectacularly look like a machine is doing that same things a human does, even better because it is some transcendently sentient super-brain that can't help but make our wretched existence

Suffering the Stupid Person

We enjoyed one of the best Christmas movies ever the other night, Die Hard  with Bruce Willis, from 1988. I know, I know, everyone's arguing about whether it is really a Christmas movie or not, but it is. It happens at Christmas time, there are Christmas songs in it, and the most important reason is that John McClane is, in a very profound sense, a messiah character almost giving his life to rescue people. I know, I know, lots of movies feature their action heroes kick-boxing and blowing away bad guys to save others, but this is just different. For one thing he does walk across broken glass causing his feet to bleed badly. In everything he does he is a sort of living sacrifice and employs great courage and tenacity to give of himself to get the job done. Plus he uses tremendous insight, knowledge, and wisdom to make the things happen he must make happen to do that job. Just amazingness from an action hero throughout. But this is not the only reason the movie so thoroughly enjoyable
