The Most Valuable Thing in a Baroque Dominated World
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 keeping on erecting gargantuan data collection centers with enormous numbers of computers sucking up massive amounts of energy and coolant resources to keep them running 24/7.
Don't misunderstand why they're doing this.
It is what the Roman Catholic Hegemonic Dominion must do. It is what it has done since the beginning of civilization, most notably right after the instance of the first human sacrifice among the hundreds of millions to follow through history and the establishment of the World System and its summary prosecutorial program. (See the fourth chapter of Genesis for more on that.)
They aren't just collecting data just to pile up a glop of information.
They need to know about you.
That's it. That's really it.
Well, and to know what kind of Baroque-style influencing they need to employ to keep you comfortably in the corral.
Rome has always done this. That was what the Inquisition was for. Still is. It is still around you know, it is just called The Order for the Propagation of the Faith, something like that. Look it up. Today it just takes a much more a gently kind and exceedingly imaginative form. But wow, with whirring computers going all the time scooping up data point after data point after data point... so much easier now.
Those metastasizing data collection behemoths? Really just modern-day Tower of Babels. Remember the System is just doing what it is supposed to do. Furiously resist the WEF BlackRock-enabling covert surveillance-state psyop-smothering some-evil-power or some-other-evil-power network? Good luck with that. God won't bring that Tower down like He did back then, for then it was for a particular purpose at a particular time. No, you can see what he'll do this time for this purpose in The Revelation. Read about it there. You can know for sure about what will happen. No one knows when, but it is a certainty. Look around, it isn't hard to know that truth.
Otherwise, you don't know bupkis. Konstantin Kisin had a fine post related to what people think is going to happen with this Iran military conflagration the US has leapt into. No matter how hifalutin you presume yourself to be as the one who knows -- and my goodness have I seen so many takes on Iran, as well as on Israel and China and Russia and this effect and that effect and this and that and that and this and that...
You don't.
But you can. You really can. You can read The Revelation. You can read more of His words, and know, you can. Even better, you can put your sole abiding faith in The Son who is The Deliverance, from all of it, hey, even from your own seething concupiscence. That's all you really need, really.
Otherwise you get the System, headquartered in Rome, doing its best Baroque impressions right now, everywhere, through every political, social, economic mandarin there is -- both the visible and quite invisible. No "AI" involved whatsoever, just superfast processing information technology -- though they all really like hiding behind this wholly manufactured god-like phantasm.
That painting that heads this blog post? Diego Velazquez' Las Meninas, very Baroque, one of the classics of the period, and it is all over the Roman Catholic Dominion. So much there, but one thing that struck me was the figure in the doorway, appearing to step out of the room surveying things one last time. They say he was the monarch's chamberlain, and if you don't know what the chamberlain does, he skillfully advises the potentate, supervises the staff, even manages the treasury. He likely wields more power than the monarchs themselves.
It is said this particular one ensured the tapestries were properly constructed, and if you aren't sure about the meaning of some kind of art woven into a large sheet of cloth, tapestries were the official artistic signatures of the said potentate's authority, replete with the appropriate iconographic symbols and insignias to make sure their power was very clearly proclaimed.
I can't help but believe that figure in the doorway, with that kind of stature, represents the Jesuit ensuring his work is being done as it should. Even more striking is the painter himself is in the painting, ensuring its representation is boldly available for the realm's subjects to deeply imbibe.
With the "AI" dominated world and the data centers humming along just fine, you can be assured that work continues unabated.
All of this is just to blog a bit to introduce my latest home page piece. It is here. My only hope is it draws you to The Savior, The One Who Loves With His Life. That's it.
