Wonderful Matters

Know what the most valuable thing in the world is right now? Well, it has in some sense been the most valuable thing ever, but things are happening now that amplify this truth. 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 keepi...

Finishing up some web reading I thought I'd direct your attention to David Bell's article over at Brownstone . It is really how the principle of Universal Basic Income is really just a form of murder. Read it, you'll see. On my social media a post reminded me of John Calhoun's work with mice. I don't know the details of this work, might be apocryphal, I don't know. But he put a community of mice in an environment where they had everything they wanted. Food, shelter, comfort, companionship, all the very nice mouse things. After a while they started dying off. The alpha male mice got very ferocious and belligerent and the beta male mice got very docile and withdrawn. The female mice didn't want any of it and stopped having baby mice. I think I got that right. The analogy to human behavior and interaction has been obvious to most perceptive people who know about this.  It is pretty much happening everywhere, now, a lot. Right now people are screaming about hav...

In his 1917 book Gullible's Travels , Ring Lardner wrote, "You know they's lots o' words that's called fightin' words. Some o' them starts a brawl, no matter who they're spoken to." It is the origin of the phrase, " Them's fightin' words." Perfect context for a Truth Rule that is so widely dismissed, particularly by those who screech like banshees "Freedom of speech is the very very very most important thing ever!!!" The Truth Rule: Nobody says anything truly worthy unless they are permanently indentured to the Spirit of the Lord and can share actual freedom things. Yes, it is painfully ironic, but still categorically true nonetheless. Otherwise everything said that gets out there, especially those things going wide and deep into the cybersphere, are merely the most lethally dangerous mines in the planet-sized trolling field. Some pretty good things are actually shared in Project 2025, this policy initiative published by...

With the year 2024 looking like it will be something of an explosive one, I thought I'd just direct you to a piece from Off-Guardian  yesterday, a fine exposition by its editor Kit Knightly. It does a pretty decent job of sharing precisely why so many people, especially people in some positions of power, do incredibly stupid things. In simple terms it is because they are so beholden to the Big Lie to which all World inhabitants and all System mandarins must give their utmost fealty. Knightly's piece had me considering it a sort-of present-day rendition of Tupper Saussy's epilogue in his book Tennessee Waltz called "The Politics of Witchcraft." In that very real sense anyone who is in a position of authority in Cain's Legacy are bound by what he called the "lie contract." Thing is Knightly does not do the one thing I don't think he can do without fearing some kind of repercussion -- hey, no worries, I always fear some sorts of repercussions for w...

I really thought I should add some more thoughts to a post I put up a couple days ago that could easily be called "The Die Hard  Factor." I'd mentioned the movie Die Hard was so compelling because the filmmaker did a fine job of showcasing some phenomenally stupid people, and I believe a big part of that was their skill in portraying them in all their self-absorbed exhibitionist glory. "Look at how danged smart I am while I go full bore into something mindbogglingly stupid that will likely end in my demise!..." Ouch. Makes me think of the Darwin Awards, you know, those stories about people doing exceptionally stupid things that only end in something very, very painful for them. Hate to say it, but this makes me think too of that quote, you may have seen it before too: Death and stupid people who don't know they're stupid are the same. It is only painful for everyone else. That's really the essence of this "Part II" post. Other people's...

There is another striking Proverb, this one the 22nd in the 27th chapter, that says it doesn't matter how much you shake a fool's head and tell him or her "Stop it," the folly still remains. Bam . The only deliverance is The  Deliverance, Jesus Christ. To see with His eyes and understand with His mind. That's it.  Otherwise, fools are going to do folly. I can't help but share the latest of the World idiocy out there, these just some of the most shining examples. There are so many, but these are pretty rich. One, some large presumably well-respected athletic organization established a competitive event of some kind as "open enrollment." The idea I am sure is to avoid all the ruckus about men-pretending-to-be-women competing in women's events, just make it so anyone who wants can join up: men, women, non-binary, anyone free-to-be-who-they-want-to-be-hey-we're-all-extra-tolerant-here -- and then it will all be fair and open and wonderful. Umm......

I came across an interesting article in Daily Wire  today, and checked it out further on the NBC News website. It is about an influencer of some renown -- I'd never heard of her but then I don't pay much attention to any of these people -- who earned $70,000 in one week selling her "AI" "Chatbot" persona on-line. Apparently she'd spent many hours with computer engineers of some sort working it all out. Essentially, you can go out on a nice little date with this gal's "AI." Um, as long as you pay up. Hmm, I thought escort services were established precisely for this sort of thing? I thought, at least a while back, you could "Dial Debbie" and for $9.95 you could smooch with her over the phone for five minutes? But hey!  Now we have AI! There're chatbots that can say anything you want them to say! And  you can do it with your very favorite hot-babe influencer! And it'll sound really really  real! What was so goofy was the nu...

All kinds of 9/11 remembrances are being pronounced everywhere today, as they always are on September 11ths. Today it seems I'm seeing quite a few more "Never Forget"s everywhere, might be just because I'm noticing them more. And they are everywhere , on just about every web page, on my Twitter feed everyone is posting pics of the twin towers with those words -- I'm even seeing them outside of churches, and they're likely inside when they mention it in their services. I think about that. "Never Forget." Why? I mean, thinking about what happened and praying for the families and working hard for very good things for everyone all around is a very good thing, but I wonder. Does "Never Forget"ing mean actually looking closely at what actually happened on that day, and why? One of the things the operatives who arranged it did was catastrophize the imagination . It is one of the weapons in the arsenal of human sacrifice activity -- keeping the pop...

There is a scene in the film All the President's Men when Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, working hard to find the good dirt on President Richard Nixon, are making their way to the house of one of Nixon's administrative operatives to try to get him to talk. As they stroll along the front of these spiffy-looking Brownstone-like homes, one of them remarks about the people inside, just living their lives, doing their thing, mostly oblivious to what is really going on outside of their cognitive domain. I think about this very brief, seemingly incidental scene quite often. I do so when looking into the eyes of so many people I encounter. I look and I just see so much ugliness and darkness in there, there in their souls. It doesn't matter how smiley they are or how well their hair is coiffed or how nicely dressed they are. They are ultimately all about wreaking havoc on the rest of the world in whatever way their psyche has been trained to do so. Please...

Abigail Shrier has sort-of established herself as the go-to voice of reason in the discourse on whether or not in the name of courage and freedom and individuality and just plain wretched foolishness someone should mutilate their body and become some other type of biological being. The most typical one is a man or woman "transitioning" into a person of the opposite sex. From what I have seen and read of hers, I think her take is a bit limited -- it seems she's only interested in making the case against  children  doing it -- you know, adults are autonomous beings and never mind that there are all kinds of nefarious things adults can do too that are regularly and robustly censured by everyone all around. I do believe, however, Shrier is firmly against adult "transitioning" also, so I won't criticize her for something of which I am not certain. She may just want to be focusing on making sure our children are not criminally violated in these ways, so she's ...

I was reading through CJ Hopkins "The Covidian Cult, Part III" again, something I referenced and remarked upon a couple of posts ago . I thought of something related to it I should emphasized because it is critically important to address. Hopkins does one of the best jobs of elucidating how Cain's Legacy works in light of all the metastasized Covid hysteria. He concludes by writing that the key is to expose the totalitarianism for what it is. You can't take it down with standard logic and articulate arguments. But you can see that it runs its course and shows everyone what it really is, then they'll see. Look at its deceit. Look at its murder. Look at it in all its real horror. The problem is, then what? If Christ isn't there to take over, you've now got seven demons just as bad filling your soul. The point here is you can't see  the totalitarianism for what it is without the eyes of Christ  to begin with. Hopkins is so correct, the Legacy of Cain is ...
