It is Grand Mythology Month Once Again

In my web surfing this morning I came across a post from someone linking to this movie scene. It is from Margin Call, a film that came out a scant three years after the latest major financial crisis in 2008. I'd blogged on it already a few times before. They'd linked to it with a remark something along the lines of Here we go again...

The scene is easily one of the most horrifying scenes anyone could behold. No, there are no wild knife-slashings and gushing blood-spewings, there are no roundhouse kicks to heads with teeth flying about, there are no machine gun rounds being unloaded onto evil gorks or dorks or orcs -- oh yeah that's what the ugly evil dudes are called in Lord of the Rings -- as the victims' bodies gyrate to the impact of the bullets smacking against them.

No, what makes the scene so harrowing is that all the perpetrators are wearing spiffy $1,000 suits sitting pleasantly though quite uncomfortably in a big-city office-building high-floor plush meeting room, and they speak with the niftiness eloquence -- their financialese top-notch. Their victims are out-of-sight, nameless, silent.

They are murderers, and their lethal activity is not only all smothered in the pukifying excesses of reputation and ingratiation, but it is all enabled by the people who do the business of Cain's Legacy perched in their authoritative governing ivory towers.

The real horror is that it is all done in the name of freedom. That Americanist freedom that has "the American Dream" written all over it. You know, all the constitutional freedoms of speech and belief and the economic freedoms of ownership and profession and all the rest of it.

Those things are nice, don't get me wrong, I like freedom kinds of things.

But this scene bursts with the truth that no matter how much we think we are free -- free to be as smart as we can about how hard we can work in order to be as financially well-off as we can be --

We're not.

We are always enslaved. Rich poor left right black white up down nice mean man woman straight narrow tall short smart dumb young old thick thin wise foolish it doesn't matter what kind of human being you are, you're enslaved.

This is why this day, this June 19th, which just a few years ago at the height of the racialist explosion in this country was made into some kind of super-duper special holiday, is just another System-generated way to keep people bound. It isn't as much about showing off how proudly you think about some Union general telling slaves in Texas that they were finally free, as it is today shouting at people that they are unbearably racist and they'd better do something about it.

Then again, what am I saying against it? Really, this "Juneteenth" commemoration should be a very good thing! Because like the scene from Margin Call, "Juneteenth" should be a clarion call how evil each one of us is in the depths of our hearts. Yeah! You go Great Grand Racialist Mythology! You tell it like it is!

You are enslaved to the tyranny of your own sin.

And just like they show in Margin Call it doesn't matter how gussied up and perfumed it is, it is still the foulest reeking shit there is.

Again what makes the whole thing even more wickedly malodorous is the System wants you to address that by doing more things the System wants you to do. All the law enforcement engagement and therapy opportunities and expansive tribute payments and community organizing and social media immersion and even the very smarmiest virtue-signaling religious ceremonies - Hey lookit me showing how much I'm into the whole Juneteenth thing! Lookit how NOT-RACIST I am! Woo-hoo don't hurt me okay?!

There are so many ways the System keeps you enslaved to the System, and to yourself. But hey, being sent out of the presence of God Himself all those millennia ago, you gotta give them credit, it is all they know.

Jesus says something very different.

He says Lose yourself. Don't try to gain the world because you won't get it, AND you'll lose yourself. You're enslaved anyway, take My yoke instead. The burden is light. Be a slave to the Holy Spirit, then you'll have true freedom.

So yeah, Juneteenth, what will you do with that? Pretend you're free from all those world and flesh and Hell things to which we are still enslaved, striving reeeal hard to believe the World Ops and what they say about how free you should feel?

Or will you ask Jesus to set you free? For the real actual freedom. As the Russian proverb says, "It is better to be slapped with the truth than to be kissed with a lie."

The Official Roman Catholic Position is the True One

Recently the pope made more official some official declarations that the Roman Catholic Church has been officially making for centuries. When they do this it gets some media attention, mostly because so many chafe at the fact that the Roman Catholic Church is claiming to be the one true church. A mainstream news take on it all is here at the Los Angeles Times . What irritates people is that the church gets all puffy about how you can't earn God's favor or go to heaven or be a good person without the Roman Catholic Church. To keep from being too intolerant the church will say things like other institutions are means to grace or they are respected communities of belief and all the rest of it. But it still holds: The Roman Catholic Church is the true church . Want to know something? They're right . Yes. It's true. They are correct: The Roman Catholic Church is the one single true ecclesiastical body. They can make such a firmly veritable proclamation about this s

The Rationale of an Excommunication

Image
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

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!
