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. For those who wail that he was protected by some kind of blanket preside...

The Reality We Like the Fantasy to Conceal, Addendum

Thought I'd add a few more thoughts about my recent post and our visit to the "Magic Kingdom." I'd riffed a bit on the meaning of the whole Disney dominion and how it is merely part of the System's enslavement, as fun, exhilarating, and yes, enchanting it is to enjoy it all. First, I do get the idea of why so many have been so inured to an aversion in some measure to old white men. What is not more clearly understood are the key reasons why. The main one is that quite a few old white men do administer the monolithic Romanist hegemony many leftist-minded people despise. It is not hard to jump from that conception to one that indicts all  old white men , and this is indeed one of the reasons the whole racialist and sexualist agenda is so wicked. It is a gross violation of the Ninth Commandment against bearing false witness. (And why, by the way, the Vatican seems to be seriously considering a dark-skinned prelate for next pope, you know, so they can be seen as espe...

What Modernism Hath Wrought, Addendum

Yesterday I put up a post to share some thoughts about the thing imagination . Afterwards I did some pondering about my words, and my soul convicted me that many would very likely read those words and think I'm into some kind of weird unbiblical mysticism.  Often the thing mysticism  is bound by the World's definition, just to get Christians to be judgmental about things. Sometimes they are right, true, but sometimes the World consumes their thinking. The Kingdom truth is the Bible clearly tells us about the beauty and wonders of God's mystery, and it is perfectly okay to commune with Him in ways only the heart can understand. Indeed that's much of the thrust of this blog ministry, precisely that His wonderful matters should not include any of our pathetic assumptions about them. Let them be mysteries yet settle in with the assurance that He loves us, cares for us, walks with us, teaches us. The Bible is also clear that He made each of our imaginations to grasp the mea...

What Modernism Hath Wrought

Just wanted to blog a bit to offer a heads-up to an article by Mary Harrington over at Unherd . I've liked the few things I've read from her, and this one gets a bit into the desire for something beyond the "atoms, void, and nothing else" mentality that has exploded in modern society. See, the "atoms-void-&-nothing-else" philosophy that is most prominent today is really just Epicureanism, an exceedingly pervasive mentality that is nothing but materialism but with the added twist of being nice to people who believe what they sneer are fairy tales. Well, um, ahem, if the reality of things is merely materialism then upon what basis does one have to be nice to anyone? Really, isn't it just best if I murder you and take your nice home to enjoy? After all your atoms spewed about are no different than those sown together right now, right? Yet this is the lifestyle philosophy so many hold so tightly. No wonder. Our schools are teaching garbage to so many st...
