Wonderful Matters

Today it seems everyone is raging in some manner over the congressional testimony of supreme public health mandarin Anthony Fauci. The most vitriolic seems to be coming from those who knew what was really going on with the Covid Hysteria as early as April 2020. I recently came across yet another list of all the horrors that institutionally manufactured hysteria brought about, it is there in that X post. Very true, very real, and very destructive. Recently excerpts from his diary emerged that reveal some of the things he was thinking and feeling at the time, so they asked him to appear in a very important looking hearing just this morning, and he basically appealed to saying nothing at all, which he did. Of course he did, anything he says would be used against him in a court of law and you know the rest of that. The screeching response seems to be that Fauci is arrested, tried, convicted, and drawn & quartered. For those who wail that he was protected by some kind of blanket preside...

The second half of the month of June we were on a nice vacation back east, seeing sites with very good friends and family who live there. It was wonderful.  One of the places along the touring route was Gettysburg, and we had to stop in. We enjoyed all the museum and visitor center things, but because of time constraints and pretty good rainfall we didn't see much of the battlefield areas. On our drive back out we did, however, stop for a look-see at the Gettysburg cemetery and the exact location where Lincoln gave the famous address. I took a snapshot of a memorial to that event, not exactly where he stood but close to it. Sure enough engraved there is the entire speech, along with a nice bust and... and... Fasces. Huh. Arguably the greatest speech about the merits of the thing DEMOCRACY and how much it must be defended with honor and sacrifice and all the rest of it -- the thing is here memorialized with the most meaningfully profound display of authoritarian hegemonic power ever...

Everyone seems to be breathing a little slower now that the 250 TH ANNIVERSARY OF FREEDOM WITH LOTS OF EAR-SPLITTING EYE-BLINDING MIND-BLASTING EXPLOSIVES is over. Whew. Quite exciting for sure, yet throughout it all still observing the obsessive fealty to the Great Americanist Americanism, I do feel sorrow. Anyone with any Scriptural insight sees that devotion to whatever is in the mythology is just the worship of another god.  I do feel that sorrow. This post is actually a quite personal one, because while I do understand, and know that God does miraculous things in the lives of those who genuinely seek Him, repent, and find the rapturous beauty and -- ahem, yes, wonderful liberation  -- in The Kingdom... While I do get all that, I do weep at times when I see all the stuff happening everywhere in the Catholicist Nation. That's just me. Some can take it, I think it just hits me harder for some reason. How much do I endure people spouting about how much lying there is out the...

The other day was an election day, when World Devotees may officially register their preference for the bully they think will make things good. I was at a polling location and I won't detail the circumstances but one of the poll volunteers at the front table discovered in that setting that I was a follower of Christ with some authoritative function (totally unrelated to the polling activity there, by the way). I didn't know her but we got to talking, and she shared quite a bit. From the heart. In my latest home page piece I'd introduced you to a very nice gentleman and shared a transcript of the conversation we had. Well, sure enough, I got to enjoy another such conversation with this very nice lady. I'm not going to transcribe it as such, just tell you about it, and about how revealing it was regarding the extraordinarily typical mentality that reigns in the hearts and minds of so many. She was in her 70s, and said she attended the very nice old Methodist church in th...

Because of the all the rage now about the presently elevated belligerence in the Middle East, the Pope recently said some things about war being very very bad. Taken as somewhat controversial, his good dutiful Catholicists then started trollee'ing like crazy, responding that sometimes we must fight and the Bible says people fought when needed and when there is evil we must fight it and this reason to fight and that reason to fight and so on. Trollees. Precisely what delights Rome to no end. It is indeed extraordinarily sorrowful that so, so many are just raging Catholicists either embracing that Body of Death like crazy or squealing loudly against it in some way or another. If they actually read God's Word with a deep abiding faith in Christ and as such listened to the counsel of the Holy Spirit which would be dwelling in their hearts, they'd get it. They'd get Kingdom things. The Roman Catholic-dominated World System zealots from the poorest to the richest simply don...

Recently a major professional sports player said some things that offended the woke hegemonic voices and forced their hand to proceed with the requisite cancellation. The team was holding one of its sadly now-quite-typical "Pride" celebrations, and he objected saying it was unrighteous. He did add that as a follower of Christ he could not in good conscience participate in such an event. Often players are expected to have rainbow-ish items added to their uniforms, and perhaps even spit up a good word about how much they respect the courage and experience of anyone embracing LGBTQ anything. Because the player said what he said, he was released from the team, and the team expressly and very publicly cited his remarks as the reason why, you know, "...for something-something detrimental to blah-blah." This has gotten some airplay in social media and throughout the sports commentariat. It hasn't been addressed so much in the mainstream legacy media, and I do believe t...

Know what the most valuable thing in the world is right now? Well, it has in some sense been the most valuable thing ever, but things are happening now that amplify this truth. Gold? Nah, just shiny yellow rocks, and the gold hawkers are starting to be a little more exposed for ripping off their customers. Cash? Green pieces of paper rapidly being replaced by the inflation and the digital. Stocks, bonds, funds, commodities, property, your very own house --  something  asset-oriented? Who knows what anything is valued there, really, except what the Institutions say they are. Ahh, crypto! Eh, just computer numbers the value of which are so volatile they are effectively worthless. Oh, yeah: your own education, knowledge, and experience! Umm, if it is simply System-infused atheist materialist humanist dreck it is all Hell anyway. No, the most valuable thing is data . You can tell with the obsession the rich and powerful have with it. You can see how much they want to keep on keepi...

Do you remember in your college humanities class learning about the Baroque period, that time around the 1600s when everything belonging to the rich and powerful became garishly ornate? All the art, design, architecture, and music just got so much more decoratively entrancing. If you remember the details about why that all happened at that time, it was really all just part of the Counter Reformation, a way for the Roman Catholic Church to augment its performance art duties in the most attractive way it could. For if you remember the Reformation  Reformation, Rome noticed a lot of people reading the Bible and seeing God's Kingdom was nothing like what Rome told them it was. So, to rein them back in, Rome had to do something to make things more appealing, more dazzling, more compelling to keep them in the club and paying good money to keep the religious racket thriving.  All the spectacle of all that Rome has promoted through the centuries is no different than what happens in th...
