Might Want to Look Deeper Inside the City

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. Of course that is the response, by World Devotees who either know little...

What Is at Gettysburg That Tells Us About the Gruesome Reality of The Metropolis

Image
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...

The Entrenched Habit of Grimly Living by the Lie-Society

Image
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 Civil Election Sacrament - The Glory of Joining to Select Our Preferred System Authorized Bully

Image
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...

Buildings

I've found I generally don't blog a whole lot in May. One, I've just got so much to do as a teacher as a school year comes to a close. Two, there is so much about which to post that I can't even start. Three, I am planning to put together something of a home page piece for the summer, some of which will cover just a bit of the insanity swarming about. But I thought I'd just share a contrast related to the overwhelming nature of Data Center construction everywhere and the "AI" God it serves. I feel like putting it all in caps because in some measure those things are now proper nouns. Recently we attended the memorial services of a fellow follower of Christ, a wonderful lady who served faithfully as a missionary in some of the worst places on the planet. Afterwards I asked one of her cohorts about the most difficult part their efforts, and she replied without a beat, "The terrorist groups." Talk about persecution. The thing I wanted to note here in...

The Baroque Enlightened War in All Its Glory

Image
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...

The Cold Civil War Rages On - More Guns Pointed at More Heads

Image
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...
