Wonderful Matters

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...

I was listening to a fine John Lennox speech put into a podcast, and it was precisely about the thrust of my own web ministry . It was called "The Greatest Deception the World Has Ever Seen," and sure enough it focused on Jesus' warning in the 24th chapter of Matthew that there would be quite a few Jesuses out there people would believe upon all the way up to the end of the age. It was a fine explication and worth listening to, it is here . Thing is, he did not get to the main  Anti-Christ to whom hundreds of millions of people give their undying devotion, the Roman Catholic Ecclesiocracy one. Mr. Lennox will never, ever mention it because he too is subsumed by the idea that really, Rome and True Biblical Christianity are close enough to each other that to dismiss the critically significant distinctions would be just too mean. At times when pressed he may certainly critique bits and pieces of it, most respectably Protestant-oriented folks do. But he simply cannot see how...

The latest greatest in "AI"-generated video content comes from something called "Seedance 2.0." Nothing special about it except that it is just cleaner, smoother, nicer, and realer. Not really anything because soon there will still be  Better. And then after that even better. And better. And again better and better and better. And of course, Realer. When will the cognitive disruption be so great that the inability to see the fake from the real will result in some kind of social, economic, even political "black swan" event. As it is we are having to confront those realities, as it were, with breakneck speed. The things that can result from being able to be something of an influencer through media technology, merely holding a computer device in your hands with only the limits of your imagination impeding anything you can do as the best 21st century Baroque composer...  Every day we are experiencing something new we've never really had to fully address. T...

"The Spirit of Truth the World cannot know." - From the 14th chapter of John A couple of things have gone viral in the cyber conversation, at least in one I've peeked at. One, an article came out in the Compact Mag webzine from a gentleman detailing how much he, and just about every other principled hard-working white male, has been hosed by the institutionally sanctioned racialism plowing over everything by the very loudest and most connected virtue-signaling Catholicists. Many taking offense have screeched about how unjust this has been and they've been ranting and panting and railing and wailing and all the rest of it. Excuse me, but why is this  getting such attention, now ? This kind of thing has been going on for decades, the abject discrimination against white males. Indeed, the ways the Romanist Hegemony manipulates the culture war for the purpose of its standard human sacrifice practices has been happening for millennia. It is all merely one among many of the...

Today fine conservative influencer Charlie Kirk was shot dead at one of his very popular "Change My Mind" type college campus events. It was absolutely shocking news to most everyone -- so accomplished at such a young age, he got deep into the most visible platforms of the culture war discourse yet did so with graciousness and respect no matter who he spoke with or about. He did want to tell the truth about things, and yes, it may have pushed the boundaries of the Overton Window. Everyone will say something about why it happened, much of which is meaningless, really. It is just part of the theater created to keep imaginations catastrophized. Ironically tomorrow is the anniversary of one of the most major of these events, 9/11. Sadly it appeared Kirk had his carotid artery shattered by the bullet, exactly the kind of wound suffered by Martin Luther King Jr. at the hand of a sniper. Thing is, as most good World System factualists (sometimes unfairly tarred as conspiracy theoris...

It has been a good week since I published my latest home page piece , and I usually don't wait this long to put up a blog post to mention it. But work has been busy, I've been worn out, and I've even caught something so I'm just laying low for the weekend. There were half-a-dozen things I thought about putting into a blog post to augment that home page effort . But I'll put it on hold for now. I'm just blogging to blog about it, direct your attention to it if you are interested, and I'll just get to other things later. Some of my reluctance to get too deeply into it is yet again relates to my feelings that after saying the same thing a hundred times yet looking out upon the wretched stupidity that still happens pretty much everywhere, well, you know. It does get very discouraging. Sometimes being relegated to a trollee is just not fun. I know I haven't got the readership to be much of an influencer, but I always pray that those who do come across my mini...

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 fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction. (Proverbs 1:7) The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." (Proverbs 14:1) I'd written a bit about some things people could do to employ the best knowledge with the best wisdom and... I kind of felt I was just sharing things people already know. It wasn't that what I shared wasn't meaningful, but so many look at those extraordinarily profound truth rules and shrug, "So what." Yeah, this is kind of why I often feel resigned that all I am doing is what I've called trollee'ing.  There are just so many lethally stupid things out there in the world it doesn't matter how powerfully lucid you are in your response, it just doesn't seem to matter. Here's a good one, recently, I just could not help but be a fine trollee!  The guy who does The Babylon Bee  directed everyone to a social media post from a gentleman who blapped, "What we discover...

Yesterday Google's Veo 3 was introduced, and it must be cited as a red-letter day. Now everyone will be doing what Tim Challies wrote about on the very same day. There it is in a screenshot of his blog's home page. It is truly harrowing, really. "AI makes me doubt everything." He will not be the only one. We all will, all the time. Veo 3 has now, really, reached that final holy grail of AI-generated CGI video-audio-communication technology. You know what it is. Too few have been fearing it for many years now, but many of them have been sounding the alarm. I wrote a bit about it in my own webzine's home page piece back in 2008 , how a fully entrenched and mainstreamed materialist mentality would lead us to this kind of world. The lies simply don't matter anymore because it will be impossible to discern them. Well, with one very simple, very profound exception. But for now, that holy grail: To make "AI-generated" content that is indistinguishable from...

It seems everyone really likes making FREEDOM  and DEMOCRACY and WE-SIMPLY-MUST-DO-ANYTHING-NECESSARY- TO-STOP-DICTATORS their supremely sovereign gods. How many times do I hear about how much of an "existential threat" some powerful government official will be if he or she gets into some position of authority. Never mind that for several years now people have been childishly using the word existential  as if it related to fears about not existing, when it means nothing of the sort. But it is part of the fiercely distended liturgy, so, well. The truth that just about everybody who blaps incessantly about political matters simply refuses to get is that there is no democracy. There is no freedom. There is always  an autocracy. Always has been. Always will be. This isn't that those things considered democratic ideals  are not desired. Having a say in what happens in your community, even your nation is not a bad thing. Being able to make your own decisions about the valu...

Back in the early to mid-1900s when the best Frankfurt School instructors started loudly pontificating about all the ways the exploited and oppressed can be used as tools for greater authoritarian hegemonic rule -- in the name of the grandest virtue-signaling, of course -- one of the most critical weapons they knew they needed to expropriate was the means of communication through the most watched mass media channels. You can see the effects of this now quite successful commandeering in the whole Olympics thing. It is presumed that just about everyone watches the Olympics. I know there are a few who don't, and I happen to be one of them. Just to share, the last time I watched any of it was in 1976, and I do confess it was fun to see people like Nadia Comaneci and Bruce Jenner do the things they did. I just happened to enjoy (again the video put up on social media so I couldn't not look) watching cap-wearing Dave Wottle's comeback run for the gold in that long track race in ...
