The Monolith

Image
I felt like posting about another article from Brownstone , this one based on the ideas shared in the classic American novel The Grapes of Wrath. I have not read the book and all I know about the film is it stars Henry Fonda as an exasperated Tom Joad, a farmer afflicted with the unyielding vicissitudes of farm life, including that of powerful financial exploiters. He mentions one part that is quite instructive about the reality of The Monolith, that millennia-old entity that does the proper work of prosecuting the standard evildoing of a World System devoted populace. The bank is poised to take his farm, and he fervently exhibits a righteously justified resistance, speaking to the bulldozer driver about to raze his place. The author of the piece does make mention about having enough courage to just get out there and labor really hard to make change happen with the very best rhetorical convincing with the help of a lot of others who feel really really bad about how exploitive The Monol...

The Great Big Club Owns You

Image
Wait! I forgot to add a critical component of The Great Big Club George Carlin famously riffed on a number of years ago in his viral routine. In my last post I'd mentioned that all the rich and powerful people are in a big club and "You aren't in it." I'd added that the club is really the Roman Catholic Empire and that whether you like it, tolerate it, or revile it to the point of wanting to blow it up, you're in it if you aren't in The Kingdom instead.  The emphasis was on the fact that even if you are part of the noble crusade against the evil oppressive imperialist fascist hegemony, you are a Roman Catholic,  merely because you are being delightfully played to do all the resisting and rebelling and obsessively intoxicating revolutioning so many thrill to do because they absolutely despise having their concupiscence called out by any judgmentalist forces. And Rome is there to respond in kind. "Don't box me in, copper!" -- Rome gleefully re...

The Reality We Like the Fantasy to Conceal

Image
The other night I was out on my evening walk with a very nice John Jarvis tune streaming in my cranium. Passing by was a vehicle driven by a young man and sure enough, as I'm sure you've encountered, his music was hammering the environs and it was nothing but inharmonious bass and droning voices that sounded like they were coming from Hell. As I've shared many times before, I hurt for young people, young adults who are merely children in big-people bodies who've been raised by children in big-people bodies who themselves have been raised by products of the 60s most susceptible to the brilliant but wholly wicked designs against them by Rome's militant operatives employing the most sophisticated means of human sacrifice to do its work as Cain's Legacy. I know, I've taught them in a formal educational setting for some 35 years now. I still do, very likely now teaching their  children. Two pieces to share with you, might be worth reading.

Remember Remember THIS Fifth of November

Image
Huh, I just heard for the first time when this year's US presidential election day is. November 5th. Huh. Didn't know that. Because as you know, "Remember remember the fifth of November, gunpowder treason and plot. For there is a reason why gunpowder and treason should ne'er be forgot." What does that mean? Does it mean that because they once tried to assassinate our beloved king by detonating a gazillion kegs of explosives under the Parliament building we'd better be sure that kind of thing just doesn't happen again by ferociously prosecuting those we all are told did it? And if anyone tries to do it again they know they'll get it right in the ----?! Or is it a reminder that any time a king even once even remotely even a little bit tries to be a ::gasp::  -- TYRANT  -- then we all know what to do? So don't forget it, okay, don't forget what they tell us needs to be done to keep the bad tyranny away...  In the great glorious name of DEMOCRACY!...

The Only Thing That Matters

Image
I really like the things that Miss Just-An-Artist-Questioning has put out. Wonderfully simple truths illustrated. This one features someone trapped in the thorns of lethal lies. Someone who loves has got the large industrial-scale set of clippers to extricate him. Funny, the one thing I could think about was how Scripture is described as a two-edged sword. It is indeed the only way one may know the truth employed to deliver another from that death. Except this thing,  truth .  I've been peeking again at Anthony Pezzotta's Truth Encounters  about the ways the Roman Catholic Church elevates the grandest deceits to keep its faithful enslaved. His very first words are from Scripture: Yahweh is the God of Truth (Isaiah 65:14). Jesus is the Way and the Truth (John 14:6). The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth (John 16:13) The Word of God is the Word of Truth  (2 Timothy 2:15). (Emphasis his.) I saw a woman the other day in a professional setting where I was surrounded by h...

The Romans 6 Factor, Addendum

Image
Last night the Dodgers and Giants played their baseball game, there at the Los Angeles stadium where the Dodgers regularly play. As you may know it was "Pride Night" for the Dodgers, and this month every single major league baseball team is having one except one, the Texas Rangers. I mean, what is wrong  with them those bigoted Nazi homophobic Neanderthal evil EVIL EVIL!!!  Texas Rangers! We should all remember to incessantly call them names and insist that the New York Times writes most disdainfully of them. Anyway, out front of the stadium were a few hundred protesters, I think it was about that many, who blocked roads and entrances to the stadium. They were holding up signs along the lines of how much the grotesquely nun-attired sodomist-oriented PR group is ruining the idea of the Roman Catholic faith, by ridiculing it with such insensitivity and all the rest of it. Good job good crusading Christians! Make that statement! Except that the Dodgers and this nun-dressed group...

What Are We Supposed to Do When We Do Never Forgetting?

Image
All kinds of 9/11 remembrances are being pronounced everywhere today, as they always are on September 11ths. Today it seems I'm seeing quite a few more "Never Forget"s everywhere, might be just because I'm noticing them more. And they are everywhere , on just about every web page, on my Twitter feed everyone is posting pics of the twin towers with those words -- I'm even seeing them outside of churches, and they're likely inside when they mention it in their services. I think about that. "Never Forget." Why? I mean, thinking about what happened and praying for the families and working hard for very good things for everyone all around is a very good thing, but I wonder. Does "Never Forget"ing mean actually looking closely at what actually happened on that day, and why? One of the things the operatives who arranged it did was catastrophize the imagination . It is one of the weapons in the arsenal of human sacrifice activity -- keeping the pop...

Uploading the Conscience

Image
Just wanted to post briefly to share an interesting piece from one of the top people at American Mind , apparently a transcript of his testimony at a congressional hearing. Still appealing to Caesar, typical. But the substance of what he said is worth noting. He points out that many people believe The Algorithm  will ultimately save us, and he warns against that idea. I'd written about this very thing several years ago here in this homepage piece at my webzine . What I'm sharing isn't anything novel for those who're paying attention. And there're hundreds of takes on all this stuff out there -- What does AI really mean today?  kinds of things. They're everywhere. They pretty much say the same thing -- maybe they'll try to be really edgy, sound prophetically insightful. That's cool. The interesting thing about this particular writer's piece is in this quote: "Rather than trying to upload our consciousness to the cloud, our new cyborg theocrats h...

Lord of Racialism

Image
So many are consumed by it. The Lord of Racialism insists you prove you aren't a racist or you will have the worst penalties assessed against you. And those proofs are the ones to which he says you must attend, such as frequent displays of sincere struggle session activity or regularly handing over decent portions of your value to demonstrate the most authentic sympathy for the interminable pain your ancestors have inflicted on those with a darker skin color than you. Oh, and this is an eternal penance, so get used to it. Occasionally I visit the local large retail bookstore, just to browse the new non-fiction -- see if there is anything that truly gets a bit into what is really going on. Nah. ::Sigh::  It's all the same -- World System imprimatur plap keeping people in their state of benighted quasi-comfort.  Here's a splendid example. A couple weeks ago (November 2) I was visiting the bookstore and perused this rack. Every tome here was a racialist screed of some sort, a...

We Are Past the Point of No Return

Image
I've realized we are too far into the horrifically draconian Covid hysteria driven policy mandates to turn back. And that may actually be a good thing. It is a good thing because it means our reliance on a God who is mercy and grace and overwhelming provision of peace and fortitude as we are dragged before the magistrates and severely penalized because we have Jesus on our lips will be that much more robust. We cannot trust in anything else. That is very good. Tonight at a pretty good sized megachurch they had another "Workers Rights During Covid Townhall." I attended one two Tuesdays ago specifically for teachers and it was a nightmare -- public school teachers in grave distress for losing their livelihoods because of this insanity. This evening's we just caught on livestream, but it was just as harrowing. They keep making the argument that your religious exemption will help. Nah, it won't. They also keep insisting the Covid mandate insanity is constitutional. No...

More on the Vast Religion of Wokeism Courtesy of Some Who Are Looking At It a Bit

Image
A reminder of one of those Truth Rules: Everything is religion . Sure everything has to do with politics because we're always working through how we can get along with others. That's fine. Sure everything has to do with economics because we're always valuing things and making decisions about those things. That's fine too. Here's the thing, though. Why  do we do any  of those things? It has everything to do with the character of the one we worship. And really, it comes down to only two. Are you worshipping God in Spirit and in Truth as Jesus asked us back in that fourth chapter of John's gospel? Or are you worshipping that Principality manifesting himself as any of a hundred different objects of worship, all of them forms of Jesus to provide something  that someone believes is that ultimate  raison d'etre? Who is it? I'm really just posting here to share some phenomenal written pieces out there on the web that advance the verity of this Truth Rule. Those ...

The Newest Denomination of the Official Religion of the United States

Image
The first amendment of the United States Constitution firmly declares that people have a right to refuse to worship the object of the country's officially established religion. Oh I know it says the United States shall not have  an official religion, but it does. The newest denomination of that religion is the one that declares that the authorized way to worship the state's god is to swath one's countenance with a cloth covering of some kind. The rationale for such a piously celebrated action is that it prevents germs from moving out and about. The claim that science justifies it is preposterous because it conclusively does not , thus, it is religion. Everything is religion anyway, so it is completely understandable. For every claim "It's the science!" there must be some religious reasoning behind it, especially if it is mandated by government officials. Recently the large county near my home announced it was forcing compliance to perform the liturgy once agai...
