As a commentary on Michael Matt’s “Unite the Clans” video, I repost the below from The Propertarian Institute, authored by Dr. Curt Doolittle.

Interesting aspect is that independant and unrealted OCCURENCES of a “unite the conservatives” themes are appearing in various sub-sets of the Visibilium Omnium. This humble blogger sees this as a very positive development…

Aside, the below post has been modified with changes made in the spelling of certain words to bring it into line with the Lex Armaticus.

*******

Uniting Conservatives with Understanding of One Another

Let’s put this in scientific prose:

Conservatism is a genetic disposition evidenced in cognition, emotion, and action, of higher disgust response, higher preference for hierarchy (division of responsibility and labor), higher loyalty response.

The fact that churcy Christians use religion, moral Christians use moralizing, educated moral Christians use history, and educated moral, scientific Christians use science and law is just a function of whether one is more dependent upon intuition, social interaction, or abstract reason.

In other words, we are unified in our disgust response, we differ in our means of information processing, and because we differ in our means of information processing, we differ in our means of expression, advocacy ad argument.

And because we are resistant to adaptation without overwhelming evidence, hypersensitive to loyalty, and hypersensitive to hierarchy, we want everyone to adopt our means of information processing and means of expression, advocacy and argument.

But despite our differences in expression, what remains consistent across the faithful, the moral, the rational, and the scientific spectrum of conservatives is the natural law and the natural law’s intolerance for disgusting behavior whether intellectual, emotional, or physical, and whether in private, or the commons.

If you cannot accept our cognitive tribes of conservatives as all unified under the natural law regardless of means of expressing that natural law as divine law, as moral utility, as rational practicality, and as scientific necessity, then YOU ARE THE REASON THE RIGHT FAILS.

The faithful are the largest problem because they cannot tolerate their dogma as consisting only of wisdom literature (analogy and advice) rather than truth (description and decidability). Yet to win together we must deliver unto God what is God’s (faith we cannot testify to) and deliver unto Caesar what is his (truth we can testify to).

We cannot unite behind one paradigm of thinking, advocating, and arguing. We can only understand that we share the same instincts, wants, desires, goals for the same biological reasons regardless of their origin, and that we are right to save ourselves, our people, and humanity from disgusting thoughts, feelings and actions whether public or private.

Because disgusting thoughts, feelings, and actions are imitated and spread like any disease, and man is more vulnerable to diseases of the mind than he is to those of emotions and body.

We argue, and I argue, the faithful are the weakness in our civilization. It was evangelical women who brought about the chain of events that led to our current condition. It was “c”atholic voters that brought about the leftist politicians. It was Christians who gave passage to the ‘others’ who are the enemy. It is Christians who idolize the enemy and its history instead of themselves and their history.

So we must not argue excuses, because each conservative tribe argues with excuses within its paradigm. The only paradigm we need share is that we must eradicate what is disgusting from ourselves, our families, our polities, our nations, and the world.

And whether your god is Jehovah, Sky Father, Odin, Aristotle, the Constitution of natural law or the laws of the universe, none of them will tolerate disgust, and we will not survive without cleansing the world of it, and the universe of it afterward.

We all know evil and it is disgusting and we share our disgust of thought, feeling, word, and deed.

They are the disease. We are the cure.

If that is not a God’s purpose for us then I know no other.

Greeting to my loyal readers. Still busy so this humble blogger hasn’t been posting much.

Today, more important news coming out of Italy. As you dear and loyal reader will recall, this blog has been writing about the situation in Italy for the longest of time. In our analysis, we have been pointing out that the key to MAKING CATHOLICISM GREAT AGAIN is what happens in the Euro Area and specifically in Italy.

For reasons that I will not go into today, this OBSERVATION and our prediction about what will happen going forward is playing itself out perfectly.

Who would have thunk only a few short years ago that a Western Civilization think tank will be established in Italy of all places to “restore all things to Christ”! (see here) And even with the growing pains (see here), the idea whose time has come… you know the rest…

And just as with the re-emergence of Thomism as the philosophical/theological underpinning of the Catholic Faith among the future hierarchs that will need to clean up the mess after the hippie church of the new springtime of the spirit of whatever… the NATRURAL LAW in the sub-set of Economics of the Visibilium Omnium, et Invisibilium is re-establishing itself on the Apennine Peninsula.

Below is our friend Tom Luongo with that information (see here)…

Aside, the part about Gresham’s Law should be of particular interest.

If you dear reader recall, the Italian population has a very high savings rate. This aspect of the economy is unique to the Italians, and allows them to service their domestic debt load with relative ease.

If the Italian government returned to their national currency over one weekend, the savers would be hit hard since their Euros would be renominated to a new Italian Lira and simultaneously devalued. The devaluation that is needed to get the Italian economy to return to proper equilibrated state, as per the below post.

In the Mini-BOT scenario, the savers could purchase this new currency at a reduced rate in order to cover their operating expenses, cover cost of living expenses and pay their taxes. The remaining Euros that they hold would still be worth as much as before.

So this Mini-BOT solution is a win/win for the Italians, which is why the bully-boys of Brussels are dead set against it. As per Mr. Luongo’s observation, Brussels can’t afford to allow this solution to be successful.

*****

Europe Won’t Admit The Mini-BOTs Are Coming

Italy is in serious trouble financially. This is virtually common knowledge at this point. What isn’t common knowledge is its Euroskeptic government led by Lega’s Matteo Salvini and Five Star Movement’s Luigi Di Maio are preparing an assault on the foundation of the European Union itself to save Italy.

And that assault comes with the most innocuous name. Mini-BOT. Mini-BOTs were originally the idea of former Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis to assist Greece get out of the stranglehold placed on it by the euro.

What is a mini-BOT? It is a small denomination (mini) Bill of Treasury (BOT) that can be issued by, in this case, the Italian government to act as a domestic currency for settling government debts, paying taxes, etc.

It would be a parallel currency which could circulate freely domestically at a discount to the euro which would work as a medium of exchange to reflect the reality of the Italian economy better than the euro does.

The euro’s value is dominated by Germany’s economy. And, in short, by being so the euro overvalues Italy’s labor pool and undervalues Germany’s. Gresham’s Law states under-valued money is hoarded and over-valued spent. In Italy the euro is hoarded. In Germany it is spent. This is why Germany runs such a massive trade surplus against the other members of the euro-zone.

Italy (and Greece, Portugal, Spain and others) need a currency that can circulate to properly support domestic trade.

By mispricing Italian labor via the euro it keeps the goods produced in Italy uncompetitive on the world market. Italy’s central bank can only issue euro-denominated debt which trades at rates far lower than it should, enhancing Germany’s position.

The Italian economy, like Greece’s, is also strangled by the cost of servicing its national debt denominated in euros. This keeps the demand for money within the economy high for debt servicing purposes and its circulation low.

Low circulation equals low trade and a sluggish economy. The EU’s budget rules favor paying off creditors first and tending to the Italian economy second. The ‘austerity’ imposed on euro-zone members, because of this mispricing of both the debt and the euro itself, becomes doubly harsh when the euro rises, sucking the life out of the debtor nation.

As the currency rises, the value of the debt rises versus the labor it is a claim against also rises. Then the country’s creditors need a bailout, which they get. The debt gets ‘restructured’ to put the debtor on an even-longer dated hamster wheel of repayment and some of it gets paid off in the form of national assets now trading at a fraction of its real value.

The mini-BOT seeks to reverse this process by allowing the Italian treasury to issue them as interest-bearing small bills which can be used to purchase goods and services in the Italian market but which will also be redeemable to pay for government services and taxes.

Doing this bypasses the euro completely and these will trade at a discount to the euro, thereby setting a proper exchange rate for Italy’s economy relative to Europe’s as a whole and increasing money velocity.

This is what Salvini and Di Maio are in favor of and what they will likely introduce soon.

And it is imperative that you understand what this means for the European Union. It is an existential threat to the current Germany-dominated political order. The main purpose of the euro was do to exactly what we have seen since its introduction, create a structural advantage for German industry through which Germany’s political class can dominate the EU itself. It was specifically designed to roll up the wealth of the continent in this way, bankrupt countries less competitive than Germany and keep them that way trapped within this single currency regime.

Laying aside my myriad and sundry libertarian and Austrian economics-based objections to this system of debt-based fiat currency, the current structure of the euro is even more monstrous than that of the individual currencies themselves. But, the Mini-BOT is a stop-gap measure on the road back to monetary and fiscal sanity. Not perfect, but the right first step.

Italy’s sovereignty-focused government, an outgrowth of the desperation of the Italian people, understand this dynamic at a deep level. It is why Salvini and Di Maio have attacked Brussels on the issue of the budget rules, tax cuts and infrastructure spending while soft-pedaling to the Italian people their radical agenda, which is to force a reorganization of power in Brussels or, failing that, take Italy out of the euro completely.

I have been arguing for over two years now since Matteo Salvini came onto the scene as a major player in Italian politics that his best path for success is to always and consistently put Brussels into the position of the bad guy.

Breach a budget rule here, detain some human traffickers there.

Each time the EU responds in the most predictable way, Salvini gains popularity and his arguments against Brussels’ unwillingness to listen gain credence.

And what scares Brussels the most is not what they say do – an increase in Italy’s debt, unsustainable spending, etc. Italy is nearly unsalvageable under a euro-only currency regime. No, what EU leadership fears the most is that this parallel domestic currency system of the mini-BOT actually works.

Because once it does it will show the rest of Europe just how corrupt and vindictive EU leadership is. As if Brexit talks haven’t exposed this fundamental truth to them already. And once that happens, the future of the EU itself comes into sincere doubt.

From what I understand, through anecdotal evidence, Salvini and Di Maio are going to move quickly on the mini-BOT, not just as a threat but as a real thing.

And their problems now lie with who I call the Troika of Technocrats who hold the positions to block their plans – President Sergei Mattarella, Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte and Finance Minister Giovanni Tria.

These are all the epitome of the Italian Swamp. They work for the old guard political order in Italy who, like most of the political establishment in the U.K., work for Brussels.

They will try to take down the Italian government before the mini-BOT becomes more than a discussion in parliament. Conte already threatened to resign over this issue. You’ll notice he didn’t do so.

And that to me is a huge tell. Conte bluffed Salvini and lost. Because with Di Maio in charge of Five Star and the poll numbers where they are, the Troika could all easily be removed if they take down the government (see my article linked above for the tactical situation).

If Salvini did it, it would hurt him. But, again, Salvini is way too sharp an operator to fall for that trap. So it will have to come from President Mattarella and Prime Minister Conte, if it comes at all.

They have to move quickly to get the Mini-BOT in place. Europe’s finances are unraveling quickly. The ECB is looking at lowering rates again once Mario Draghi exits the stage to leave the mess for his replacement.

Deutsche Bank is looking to spin off a small portion of its bad assets into a Bad Bank while Germany’s economy continues cratering and a hard Brexit is looking more and more likely.

None of these things are euro positive and none of them help the EU in its fight to keep Italy in the fold.

Italy will need the mini-BOT once this huge move into sovereign debt is over. It is rapidly becoming the most over-crowded trade in history with nearly $12 trillion in debt now carrying a negative return.

For now, Draghi and the rest of the would-be oligarchs in Brussels are in denial about what Salvini and Di Maio are planning. They won’t be once the power struggle for Italy’s government takes center stage in September when the budget is proposed, Brussels tries to impose fines and Salvini starts selling mini-BOTs.

You shouldn’t have to wonder how the markets are going to respond to that.

It’s Happening…

Hopefully will return to regular posting soon…

Please keep me in your prayers.

And just to add CONTEXT to above screen grab… (see here)

LETTER OF HIS HOLINESS
BENEDICT XVI
TO THE BISHOPS ON THE OCCASION OF THE PUBLICATION
OF THE APOSTOLIC LETTER “MOTU PROPRIO DATA”
SUMMORUM PONTIFICUM
ON THE USE OF THE ROMAN LITURGY
PRIOR TO THE REFORM OF 1970

My dear Brother Bishops,

With great trust and hope, I am consigning to you as Pastors the text of a new Apostolic Letter “Motu Proprio data” on the use of the Roman liturgy prior to the reform of 1970. The document is the fruit of much reflection, numerous consultations and prayer.

News reports and judgments made without sufficient information have created no little confusion. There have been very divergent reactions ranging from joyful acceptance to harsh opposition, about a plan whose contents were in reality unknown.

This document was most directly opposed on account of two fears, which I would like to address somewhat more closely in this letter.

In the first place, there is the fear that the document detracts from the authority of the Second Vatican Council, one of whose essential decisions – the liturgical reform – is being called into question.

This fear is unfounded. In this regard, it must first be said that the Missal published by Paul VI and then republished in two subsequent editions by John Paul II, obviously is and continues to be the normal Form – the Forma ordinaria – of the Eucharistic Liturgy. The last version of the Missale Romanum prior to the Council, which was published with the authority of Pope John XXIII in 1962 and used during the Council, will now be able to be used as a Forma extraordinaria of the liturgical celebration. It is not appropriate to speak of these two versions of the Roman Missal as if they were “two Rites”. Rather, it is a matter of a twofold use of one and the same rite.

As for the use of the 1962 Missal as a Forma extraordinaria of the liturgy of the Mass, I would like to draw attention to the fact that this Missal was never juridically abrogated and, consequently, in principle, was always permitted. At the time of the introduction of the new Missal, it did not seem necessary to issue specific norms for the possible use of the earlier Missal. Probably it was thought that it would be a matter of a few individual cases which would be resolved, case by case, on the local level. Afterwards, however, it soon became apparent that a good number of people remained strongly attached to this usage of the Roman Rite, which had been familiar to them from childhood. This was especially the case in countries where the liturgical movement had provided many people with a notable liturgical formation and a deep, personal familiarity with the earlier Form of the liturgical celebration. We all know that, in the movement led by Archbishop Lefebvre, fidelity to the old Missal became an external mark of identity; the reasons for the break which arose over this, however, were at a deeper level. Many people who clearly accepted the binding character of the Second Vatican Council, and were faithful to the Pope and the Bishops, nonetheless also desired to recover the form of the sacred liturgy that was dear to them. This occurred above all because in many places celebrations were not faithful to the prescriptions of the new Missal, but the latter actually was understood as authorizing or even requiring creativity, which frequently led to deformations of the liturgy which were hard to bear. I am speaking from experience, since I too lived through that period with all its hopes and its confusion. And I have seen how arbitrary deformations of the liturgy caused deep pain to individuals totally rooted in the faith of the Church.

Pope John Paul II thus felt obliged to provide, in his Motu Proprio Ecclesia Dei (2 July 1988), guidelines for the use of the 1962 Missal; that document, however, did not contain detailed prescriptions but appealed in a general way to the generous response of Bishops towards the “legitimate aspirations” of those members of the faithful who requested this usage of the Roman Rite. At the time, the Pope primarily wanted to assist the Society of Saint Pius X to recover full unity with the Successor of Peter, and sought to heal a wound experienced ever more painfully. Unfortunately this reconciliation has not yet come about. Nonetheless, a number of communities have gratefully made use of the possibilities provided by the Motu Proprio. On the other hand, difficulties remain concerning the use of the 1962 Missal outside of these groups, because of the lack of precise juridical norms, particularly because Bishops, in such cases, frequently feared that the authority of the Council would be called into question. Immediately after the Second Vatican Council it was presumed that requests for the use of the 1962 Missal would be limited to the older generation which had grown up with it, but in the meantime it has clearly been demonstrated that young persons too have discovered this liturgical form, felt its attraction and found in it a form of encounter with the Mystery of the Most Holy Eucharist, particularly suited to them. Thus the need has arisen for a clearer juridical regulation which had not been foreseen at the time of the 1988 Motu Proprio. The present Norms are also meant to free Bishops from constantly having to evaluate anew how they are to respond to various situations.

In the second place, the fear was expressed in discussions about the awaited Motu Proprio, that the possibility of a wider use of the 1962 Missal would lead to disarray or even divisions within parish communities. This fear also strikes me as quite unfounded. The use of the old Missal presupposes a certain degree of liturgical formation and some knowledge of the Latin language; neither of these is found very often. Already from these concrete presuppositions, it is clearly seen that the new Missal will certainly remain the ordinary Form of the Roman Rite, not only on account of the juridical norms, but also because of the actual situation of the communities of the faithful.

It is true that there have been exaggerations and at times social aspects unduly linked to the attitude of the faithful attached to the ancient Latin liturgical tradition. Your charity and pastoral prudence will be an incentive and guide for improving these. For that matter, the two Forms of the usage of the Roman Rite can be mutually enriching: new Saints and some of the new Prefaces can and should be inserted in the old Missal. The “Ecclesia Dei” Commission, in contact with various bodies devoted to the usus antiquior, will study the practical possibilities in this regard. The celebration of the Mass according to the Missal of Paul VI will be able to demonstrate, more powerfully than has been the case hitherto, the sacrality which attracts many people to the former usage. The most sure guarantee that the Missal of Paul VI can unite parish communities and be loved by them consists in its being celebrated with great reverence in harmony with the liturgical directives. This will bring out the spiritual richness and the theological depth of this Missal.

I now come to the positive reason which motivated my decision to issue this Motu Proprio updating that of 1988. It is a matter of coming to an interior reconciliation in the heart of the Church. Looking back over the past, to the divisions which in the course of the centuries have rent the Body of Christ, one continually has the impression that, at critical moments when divisions were coming about, not enough was done by the Church’s leaders to maintain or regain reconciliation and unity. One has the impression that omissions on the part of the Church have had their share of blame for the fact that these divisions were able to harden. This glance at the past imposes an obligation on us today: to make every effort to enable for all those who truly desire unity to remain in that unity or to attain it anew. I think of a sentence in the Second Letter to the Corinthians, where Paul writes: “Our mouth is open to you, Corinthians; our heart is wide. You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted in your own affections. In return … widen your hearts also!” (2 Cor 6:11-13). Paul was certainly speaking in another context, but his exhortation can and must touch us too, precisely on this subject. Let us generously open our hearts and make room for everything that the faith itself allows.

There is no contradiction between the two editions of the Roman Missal. In the history of the liturgy there is growth and progress, but no rupture. What earlier generations held as sacred, remains sacred and great for us too, and it cannot be all of a sudden entirely forbidden or even considered harmful. It behooves all of us to preserve the riches which have developed in the Church’s faith and prayer, and to give them their proper place. Needless to say, in order to experience full communion, the priests of the communities adhering to the former usage cannot, as a matter of principle, exclude celebrating according to the new books. The total exclusion of the new rite would not in fact be consistent with the recognition of its value and holiness.

In conclusion, dear Brothers, I very much wish to stress that these new norms do not in any way lessen your own authority and responsibility, either for the liturgy or for the pastoral care of your faithful. Each Bishop, in fact, is the moderator of the liturgy in his own Diocese (cf. Sacrosanctum Concilium, 22: “Sacrae Liturgiae moderatio ab Ecclesiae auctoritate unice pendet quae quidem est apud Apostolicam Sedem et, ad normam iuris, apud Episcopum”).

Nothing is taken away, then, from the authority of the Bishop, whose role remains that of being watchful that all is done in peace and serenity. Should some problem arise which the parish priest cannot resolve, the local Ordinary will always be able to intervene, in full harmony, however, with all that has been laid down by the new norms of the Motu Proprio.

Furthermore, I invite you, dear Brothers, to send to the Holy See an account of your experiences, three years after this Motu Proprio has taken effect. If truly serious difficulties come to light, ways to remedy them can be sought.

Dear Brothers, with gratitude and trust, I entrust to your hearts as Pastors these pages and the norms of the Motu Proprio. Let us always be mindful of the words of the Apostle Paul addressed to the presbyters of Ephesus: “Take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the Church of God which he obtained with the blood of his own Son” (Acts 20:28).

I entrust these norms to the powerful intercession of Mary, Mother of the Church, and I cordially impart my Apostolic Blessing to you, dear Brothers, to the parish priests of your dioceses, and to all the priests, your co-workers, as well as to all your faithful.

Given at Saint Peter’s, 7 July 2007

Never Believe Anything Until It Has Been Denied…

30 Thursday May 2019

It’s getting hot in Vatican City… and this humble blogger doesn’t mean temperature wise either. Above is the latest from Church Militant…

Introducing today’s post, it is important to keep in mind a quote attributed to Otto Von Bismarck which goes as follows: Never believe anything in politics until it has been officially denied.

And given that Francis, the dictator of Rome is the consummate politician, of the Peronist persuasion to be precise, it is only fitting that this humble blogger reminds his dear and loyal readers of the DENIAL’S existence.

Another way in which one can look at the subject matter discussed below is as follows: Ontological Reality Claims Two More Scalps…

So today, a CONTEXT post…

A SIGNIFICANT EVENT occurred recently in the Catholic World and it has to do with a DENIAL.

Francis, the material and formal heretic of Rome, finally DENIED that he knew about Mr. McCarrick’s “background”. For those not up to speed, Mr. McCarrick, the former FrancisCardinal and most likely the one who brought the US Cardinals onboard the St. Gallen Mafia’s Team Bergoglio to back Bergoglio at the 2013 Cardinal’s retreat (?) which then allowed Francis to dress in white and start wearing the “bishop of Rome’s tunic”.

As for the “material and formal heretic of Rome” title itself, we get more confirmation of its accuracy:

So now “journalists” are starting from the assumption that Francis is dishonest and a heretic?

What took them so long, would be this humble bloggers first observation…

But back to the SIGNIFICANT EVENT…

What makes the EVENT SIGNIFICANT is that the issue at its CORE can be defined as follows: “how cardinals’ Conclave lobbying campaign paved way for Argentine pontiff”.

In terms of ONTOLOGICAL REALITY, an quick analysis would look something like this:

by allowing a “Cardinal’s retreat” to be called in March of 2013, which then allowed Jorge Bergoglio to begin wearing the white “tunic” of the bishops of Rome, the Cardinals in essense “tore the fabric of realty” and it is this ONTOLOGICAL reality that has been exacting vengeance on them and the entire post-conciliar church ever since.

If more proof of the correctness of the above PREMISE is needed, we go over to the Non Veni Pacem blog (see here). In the last post, we get a report about a member in good standing of the “Traditional” Catholic community, namely one Peter Kwasniewski who inadvertently stepped into the ONTOLOGICAL do do.

The long and short of the matter is that Dr. Kwasniewski read Antonio Socci’s new book, published a review on Amazon, used Aristotelian logic and Thomistic critical thinking to deduce that in fact, the 2013 CARDINAL’S RETREAT was in fact a CARDINAL’S RETREAT and not a Conclave.

And as you dear reader might have guessed before you ended reading the review, in short order the review was taken down and modified.

I will let you dear and loyal reader review the Non Veni Pacem post and draw your own conclusions. (see here)

Which leads to today’s conclusion. What we are dealing with here is another case of ONTOLIGICAL REALITY exacting revenge on those who run afoul of this NATURAL MECHANISM that God created to bring ORDER (out of CHAOS) to His CREATION.

Drawing on our post titled Fabric Of Reality And Using Truthful Language To Extract Order Out Of Chaos…, a reaffirmation of it’s conclusion, as presented by Dr. Jordan B. Peterson is in order today.

You know, I see people in that situation… as you all do… all the time. Perhaps me more than you because I’m a clinical psychologist. You know. If the people I’m seeing haven’t broken the Universal (Moral) Law, then you can bloody well be sure that people around them have. It’s no joke. You make a mistake, and things will go seriously wrong for you. And so, it’s no wonder you’d be terrified at the revelation of the structure that governs our being.

One of the things that’s so remarkable about the Old Testament, and this is another thing Nietzsche commented on… He was a real admirer of the Old Testament. Not so much of the New Testament. He thought it was a sin for Europe to have glued the New Testament onto the Old Testament. Because he thought the Old Testament was a really accurate representation of the phenomenology of being. It’s like: stay awake, speak properly, be honest or watch the hell out, because things will come your way that you just do not want to see at all. And it might not just be you, it might be everyone you know and everything about your culture that is demolished for generation after generation. It’s like stay awake and be careful.

(…)

What I see instead is: things happen. Someone twists the FABRIC OF REALITY. And they do it successfully, because it doesn’t snap back at them that moment. And then, two years later, something unravels. And they get walloped. And they say “Oh my God, that’s so unfair!’. And then we track it. It’s like: ‘what happened before that – this. And then what – this. And then what – this. And then what – Ohhhh… THIS. Well, that’s where it went wrong. It’s yea… Because you can’t twist the FABRIC OF REALITY, without having it snap back. It doesn’t’ work that way. And why would it. Because what are you going to do? Twist the FABRIC OF REALITY? I don’t think so. I think it’s bigger than you.

So what we are seeing folks is just the NATURAL PROCESS of the FABRIC OF REALITY snapping back and taking vengeance on those who willfully disregard the laws that govern His ORDER.

Bishop’s, are you watching?

You don’t have to have Supernatural Faith…

All you need is to reassert your survival instinct and revisit your psychology 101 text books from your seminary days!

So this humble blogger has adopted and been writing about the OBSERVATION that Dr. Jordan Peterson first brought to the attention of the global audience , namely that post-Modernism, at its ROOT is a rebellion against COMPETENCE.

It is this aspect of the post-conciliar church that is explained best by the Petersonian COMPETENCE HEIRARCHY explanation. To be specific, the behavior of Francis and the post-conciliiar FrancisClerics can be neatly diagnosed as follows: the post-conciliar (post-Modernist) church is a rebellion against COMPETENCE as codified in the Universal Magisterium.

In the linked video (Jordan Peterson – Competence Hierarchies Explained) one can easily paraphase Peterson’s explanation of Competence Hierarchies in the chimpanzee world and apply it to that observed in the Vatican.

Here is an example of what this might look like:

“One of the things De Waal noted was that in chimpanzee hierarchies the brutal males (Bergoglio) can rise to the top, but they tend to have very short lived empires, and to meet very, very violent deaths. And so his conclusion was that in order for even a chimpanzee hierarchy to be stable across time, then the top chimp had to be quite pro-social. So first of all, had to engage in sufficient reciprocal behavior (unlike the situation with the Dubia Cardinals), so he had allies among other males. Because otherwise, if you’re a top chimp, your caveman, strongman type, and you established your dominance as a matter of intimidation and strength, then if you have an off day, two of your slightly weaker opponents can tear you to pieces, which is exactly what the chimps do.” (In our case, the Francis “magisterium” will be short lived)

Now as with any analogy, they break down eventually, however the COMPETENCE HIERARCHY explanation is as good of a HYPOTHESIS as this humble blogger has come across.

And just for confirmation of the above, think this here:

spadaro-i

But as you might be suspecting, this 2+2 can equal 5 isn’t limited to theology.

This post-Modernist maxim is appearing in the wider sphere of the et Invisibilium.

Below is a Zero Hedge post about New York Department of Education taking a stab at defining what constitutes a “white supremacist”.

As you can read below, what the NYC Dept. of Ed has in fact defined is ….

… wait for it…

… what constitutes a competent individual.

Please read the below and see for yourselves…

Which leave this humble blogger with the following thought, after watching the Paul Joseph Watson video, namely…

Mama don’t let your babies grow up to be soy-boys!

And it you do, don’t let them go into the priesthood…

But more on that in a future post…

You Might Be A White Supremacist If…

Here, courtesy of the New York City Department of Education, are 14 things to watch out for if you suspect you (or a friend) are a white supremacist..

PERFECTIONISM — Giving undue focus to the shortcomings in someone or their work, or viewing them as personal flaws. “Making a mistake is confused with being a mistake, doing wrong with being wrong,” according to a description of the book on the Web site for the “Challenging White Supremacy Workshop.”
SENSE OF URGENCY — Prioritizing short-term results without considering long-term implications. “For example, sacrificing interests of communities of color in order to win victories for white people,” the write-up says.
DEFENSIVENESS — When people, often in power, are dismissive of new ideas solely for fear that they might shake things up. “The defensiveness of people in power creates an oppressive culture,” the description says.DEFENSIVENESS — When people, often in power, are dismissive of new ideas solely for fear that they might shake things up. “The defensiveness of people in power creates an oppressive culture,” the description says.
QUANTITY OVER QUALITY — Being results-oriented and diminishing an otherwise-sound process if it doesn’t produce measurable results. It also goes hand-in-hand with “discomfort with emotion and feelings.”
WORSHIP OF THE WRITTEN WORD — This idea prioritizes documentation and writing skills, rather than the “ability to relate to others.” It also leads to teaching that there is “only one right way” to do something.
PATERNALISM — When those already in power think they’re the only ones who can or should make decisions. “Those with power often don’t think it is important or necessary to understand the viewpoint or experience of those for whom they are making decisions,” the write-up explains.
EITHER/OR THINKING — Seeing things in terms of good or bad, right or wrong, or black or white. This “results in trying to simplify complex things, for example believing that poverty is simply a result of lack of education.”
POWER HOARDING — Similar to defensiveness, those in power seek to preserve it, and see it as something that can’t be shared. They may also feel threatened when someone suggests change, and “assume they have the best interests of the organization at heart.”
FEAR OF OPEN CONFLICT — This comes through when someone overemphasizes politeness, and equates broaching touchy topics with being rude. “The response is to blame the person for raising the issue rather than to look at the issue which is actually causing the problem,” the description says.
INDIVIDUALISM — This idea is found among people who have “little experience or comfort working as part of a team.” It can lead to isolation, and emphasize competition over cooperation.
PROGRESS IS BIGGER, MORE — Focusing only on the bottom line and tangible growth. “Progress is an organization which expands … or develops the ability to serve more people,” those with this mindset think.
OBJECTIVITY — This can lead to the belief that there is an ultimate truth and that alternative viewpoints or emotions are bad. It’s even inherent in “the belief that there is such a thing as being objective.”
RIGHT TO COMFORT – Those in power may believe that they “have a right to emotional and psychological comfort,” while denying the same to those not in power. This also covers cries of reverse racism because that’s “equating individual acts of unfairness against white people with systemic racism which daily targets people of color.”

First of all, this humble blogger would like to thank everyone who is keeping him in their prayers. A big Deo Gratias!

Since I am even more pressed for time these days than usual, I will put up a post whenever a new video appears whose subject matter is the Catholic Church and why it will conquer the entire earth in 200 years time.

Triumphalism lives… on the pages of this blog!

Folks, there can only be ONE RELIGION, just like there can only be ONE MATHEMATICS.

2+2 must equal 4, everywhere, always and for everyone.

So here is today’s video. It comes from a discussion between Jordan Peterson and Stanley McChrystal.

A few words of introduction are needed here. Now McChrystal is not my cup of tea. I find him vacuous and shallow, not to mention “politically correct”.

In the humble opinion of this even more humble blogger, he acts like your typical VIRTUE SIGNALING leftist. What’s worse, he is one of these “political generals” that were promoted under the Obama regime. (Aside, James Clapper is also a retired Admiral, which suggests this trend started under Clinton) It would appear that if one wanted to advance in rank and become a general officer, a vocal leftist ideological “bent” would do the trick. Hence the Rolling Stones article and how political pandering to a “false god” sometimes backfires. (see here)

With respect to the video itself, please note the non-sense about “starting on third base and thinking you hit a triple”. This is a reference to the silly notion of “white privilege”. And right after that, he talks about people from “disadvantaged” backgrounds being some of the best noncommissioned officers that he ever served with. Now that’s what I call patronizing with a side order of condescension.

Given the above, at the same time, his position expressed in the video supports one of the central arguments to the above supposition, namely: when a vacuous and shallow person stumbles onto the Truth, the Truth always gets the better of him.

Notice also the part about the mindset of US prisoners in the Hanoi Hilton. Sounds very much like everyday life for those who believe in a JUST and THEN merciful God.

Enjoy!

PS And now for a message from the NEW RESISTENCE.

You know it had to come to this… :-))))))

PPS This Discipline = Freedom thing is spreading…

Appears to be an independent and unrelated sighting.

Remember where the psychological aspect of this Truth originated (hint: Nietzsche)…

I’ve been busy so I haven’t been posting lately.

Here is something that needs to be brought to the attention of my dear and loyal readers.

This is why this humble blogger believes that in 200 years, everybody will be a Catholic of the 1955 vintage.

And here is why…

Consider this a CONTEXT post.

UPDATE 11:40 19 May 2019

Next, how we will techincally get to universal Catholicism…

Hint, it has to do with a great book…

UPDATE 05:20 21 May 2019

Next, how Catholicism is being proved correct when one strips the metaphysical componants from it.

In other words, Catholicism is SCIENTIFIC!

Enjoy and keep me in your prayers…

I’m Just Going To Put This Up Here And Leave It…

Michael is hitting his stride!

On a similar note, below is the latest Brandon Smith post on narcissistic sociopaths, a.k.a globalists, which quite neatly summurizes our very own diabolical narcissist of Rome.

For those who follow my blog, you will recall that according to the Lex Armaticus, the scientific field of ontology can be divided into three sub-categories: the natural, supernatural and the conscience. All academic knowledge can be interpreted through these three “lenses” since all human knowledge contains these three elements. Aside, yes there is a metaphysic component to the equation of 2+2=4.

Given the hermeneutic above, the below post by Brandon Smith can be seen as the Natural side analysis of the diabolical narcissist examination expounded by Ann Barnhardt (see here) who approaches the subject matter more from the supernatural angle.

Please read at your leisure.

Have a great weekend…

The Ultimate Goal Of Globalists Is To Make You Into A Monster Just Like Them

Authored by Brandon Smith via Alt-Market.com,

In recent months I have been writing extensively about the psychology of globalists as well as the strange cult-like beliefs that drive their philosophies. In my article ‘Global Elitists Are Not Human’ I outlined evidence that globalist motives and behavior are directly comparable to the ideals and behavior of narcissistic sociopaths (or what some people might refer to as psychopaths). I theorized that globalists are in fact a highly organized cult of narcissistic sociopaths, that they look for the inborn character trait of sociopathy in the people that they recruit, and that these people are like a separate species from normal human beings, as they lack most traits that we would associate with normal human behavior such as empathy and self examination.

In my article ‘Luciferianism: A Secular Look At A Destructive Globalist Belief System’, I showcased evidence that globalists and their institutions (like the United Nations) were tied to the luciferian philosophical cult. I also explored my epiphany that luciferianism was actually a religion designed by narcissistic sociopaths for narcissistic sociopaths; a belief system that exonerates and applauds their destructive behaviors.

To reiterate, the only way to understand the methods and madness of globalists is to research and understand the thinking of narcissistic sociopaths. This is, I believe, the big secret that we are not supposed to know about. The root factor that could change the world is if humanity finally realized that these people are not like us – they are a parasitic species which feeds off of us, and they are identifiable if you know what to look for.

Here are a few ground rules to understanding how such predators think and operate:

1) Narcissistic sociopaths make up around 1% to 5% of the total population, and are present in every culture and ethnicity. The vast majority of them carry the traits from birth. Many of them remain latent, meaning, they function within society and avoid destructive behavior because the environment makes this behavior unacceptable. However, at least 1% are full-blown psychopaths. During times of crisis and uncertainty people with latent traits tend to revert to destructive psychopathic behaviors because there are no social consequences to restrict them.

2) A psychopath is not insane in the manner many people might assume. Psychopaths are highly cognizant of their surroundings, and are adept at manipulating the people around them for their own gain. They know how to blend in, though, even the most skilled chameleons make mistakes and show their true colors They are also very aware when they are committing an evil act; they simply don’t care and feel no regret or remorse.

3) Psychopaths organize with each other constantly as long as there is a promise of personal gain involved. I’m not sure why, but there is a misconception among many people that all psychopaths are “loners” that do not work with anyone. I can only attribute this belief to mainstream propaganda. The most effective psychopaths hunt in packs. This can easily be seen in criminal enterprises such as cartels, the mob, certain corporate entities that have been exposed, and very often in governments.

I have personally witnessed multiple narc/sociopaths operate together in the same space. These people barely knew each other in some cases, but somehow picked up on instinctual cues and started working together to take over the room and dominate everyone’s attention and time. I have also witnessed narc/sociopaths help each other at random by manipulating a victim or mark back into position so that another narc/sociopath can continue feeding off of them.

Those people who claim that psychopaths could never organize into a conspiracy or cabal because they would sabotage each other have no understanding whatsoever as to how these criminals actually function.

4) Psychopathic people account for the vast majority of violent crime and fraud in the US and consume astonishing resources in terms of taxpayer dollars. There is also NO KNOWN METHOD of rehabilitation for these people. Why? Because narcissism and sociopathy are generally inherent at birth, and they make up the bulk of a psychopath’s personality. Take these two traits away, and the psychopath no longer has a personality. I repeat – these people cannot be fixed. They are what they are and will never change because they have no capacity for self examination and no other personality to fall back on.

5) Psychopaths often have very short attention spans, except when they are engaged in a predatory agenda. This might seem like a contradiction. How could they be so observant of the people around them to the point that they are expert manipulators, while also being oblivious? It is primarily a matter of predatory instinct.

They do not care about normal human associations and interactions if they are not getting fuel for their narcissism from the exchange. They may go through the motions of pretending that they are human, or, they may not. But, if they see an opportunity for gain at the expense of others, they suddenly become hyperfocused and highly industrious.

This is another behavior I have also witnessed personally. I have met narc/sociopaths that were lazy beyond all belief in their daily lives and who had no capacity to listen to other people even when the information might be useful. At the same time, when they saw a target or victim that they could exploit, they would suddenly plan elaborate schemes, spending months of energy building a web of lies and creating a chain of machinations to obtain what they coveted. If you are not familiar with narc/sociopaths, this kind of conduct will come off as extremely bizarre and befuddling.

6) Their lack of attention span in daily circumstances can be partly attributed to their addiction to dopamine. When they do focus, it is only to satisfy a dopamine rush, and the actions that give them the most dopamine rush are usually destructive or aberrant. Of course, over time the actions which gave them dopamine in the past become inadequate, and so they seek out even more aberrant and depraved activities to get the same high. Most narc/sociopaths will willingly engage in the most disturbed and twisted victimization imaginable just to feel a sharper flood of dopamine, as long as they think there will be no consequences.

7) Narc/sociopaths are not necessarily more intelligent or impressive, though they do tend to score higher than average in terms of IQ. They usually do not excel in anything, because they have no patience for mastery of a particular subject or skill. That said, they have a highly developed survival sense, in that they are very good at exploiting the skills of others. Meaning, they are good at manipulating other people who are intelligent and skilled and feeding off of their efforts.

This does not always last, though, as the people they exploit start to realize what is happening and cut the narc/sociopath loose. Most narc/sociopaths will cycle through non-narc associates quickly, and have no real “friends”. In an organized psychopathic group, everything is based on mutual gain and the targeting of victims. They are not friends or compatriots.

8) Narc/sociopaths are invariably cowards, and will rarely fight on a level playing field. They will either run, stab you in the back if they can, or use other people to do their dirty work.

Finally, narc/sociopaths have one particular quirk or obsession which I rarely see discussed, but it is a behavior which I think is central to explaining the methodology of globalists. Narc/sociopaths see themselves as far superior (or godlike) compared to normal people, and they view empathy and the capacity for joy in everyday things as weakness and foolishness. Therefore, they feel justified in their pursuit of dominance and exploitation of others. However, they also understand that they would be considered monstrous by society and face punishment if they are ever exposed.

They know to some extent that they are not human, that they are vampires that need to remain hidden in order to leech off of humans. In their pursuit of dopamine, they have probably engaged in some extremely evil activities, including fraud, corruption, rape, pedophilia or even murder. They don’t personally have any guilt over such actions, but, they know they would be burned at the stake for them.

Being that they see themselves as superior to the rest of us, they find it reprehensible that they should have to hide their true nature. They are “gods” among men, and it is demeaning to them to have to skulk about in the dark, or play act as if they are like us. The final behavior of narc/sociopaths that I want to mention here is their need to either prove that everyone else is just like them, or their need to make everyone else just as monstrous as they are.

I see this in particular with globalists; almost every agenda they engage in has an element of propaganda which encourages people to embrace a morally relativistic philosophy. They want us to engage in atrocities and view them as perfectly acceptable.

This is perhaps the primary rationale behind globalist engineered crisis events. In each instance of crisis, we are told that moral ambiguity is necessary in order to survive, and that empathy and principles are for suckers, or for times of peace only. We are also told that the natural states of human behavior and society are wrong and that we must accept the exact opposite, otherwise we are “bigoted” and are holding society back from progress.

Sure, there is also the elitist goal of convincing the masses to go along with less freedom and more centralization, and this cannot be discounted. But, there is also an underlying and more sought after goal of erasing our humanity altogether. From moral relativism, to digital distraction and our ever shortening attention spans, to the masses being encouraged to chase ever more dopamine, to the demonization of natural masculinity and femininity, to gender dysphoria, to the overt obsession with sexual gratification, to our growing acceptance of government subjugation as long as it is against our political opponents, to the use of war as a means to expand political influence – the globalists are attempting to turn human psychological reality on its head and make us just like them.

The problem for them is, we are not like them. Conscience and empathy are inherent and inborn qualities for us, just as narcissism and sociopathy are inborn qualities for them. We are undeniably different at a fundamental level. This is why they are forced to construct narratives of reason around the insanity they want us to approve of. They are forced to present evil actions as if they are for the greater good, because very few people would go along with them otherwise. They have spent the better part of centuries (maybe longer) trying to find ways to undermine our humanity, and have met with constant interference.

I sometimes take comfort in the fact that while the conspiracies of evil are always present and on the attack, they still fail to get what they truly want above all else. While the powers of good are not as visible at times, they are subtle and intricate, and cannot be easily undone.

On Crazed Monarchs, Both Visible And Not So Visible…

Today we do a post from our ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT themed bucket.

As my dear and loyal readers are aware, BREXIT is seen as our FLASH POINT EVENT. The European Project represents a sort of pre-qual to what the GLOBALISTS would like to do on a larger scale. So BREXIT is a mortal danger to the European Project and by extension, the GLOBALIST’S downstream plans. Or so the HYPOTHESIS goes.

Checking in on BREXIT, we observe that it is in overtime… or extra time for you soccer aficionados, since the LEAVE date was originally set at 29 March 2019, and the GLOBALISTS appear not to know what to do next.

But then again, and as we all know perfectly well, when we are dealing with GLOBALISTS, there are no rules. Or rather, they make the rules up as they go along. So here we are, almost a week past the “drop-dead” date and what is the state of play?

Well, Tom Luongo has the run down for us below. (see here)

For those who can’t wait, here is a sneak peak as to what you will find in his below post, brought to you via Zero Hedge:

As I watch the desperation of these people, obviously loyal to the European Union first and their constituents a distant fourth or fifth – after themselves, their party and any corporate lobbyists – it’s clear they don’t have any clue as to how to get out of the mess they’ve made for themselves.

Yep!

It’s as if a crazed monarch had ascended to the throne of the UNITED NATIONS and is trying to figure out how to get one over on those stupid, backward, unenlightened prols.

Anyways, speaking of “no rules” and crazed… as in clinically diagnosed “crazed”, we also observe that Francis, the crazed bishop of Rome is at it again. This time he has decided to “preach” about a whole host of things, from prosetylization to walls. Needless to say, his “sermons” aren’t going over too well, but hey… he is the bishop of Rome.

Until the Cardinals do something about it, that is…

But then again, it looks like Francis isn’t really driving this post-conciliar bus any longer. Actually, it looks like the bus is driving itself… (see here)

Which brings me to today’s second piece of good news. In the video above, your humble blogger has embedded a clip from Dr. Steven Turley, a lecturer at the recent World Council of Family meeting which took place in Verona Italy this past weekend.

What is of interest is the demographic data presented by Dr. Turley. Of specific interest is the empirical evidence of the “RE-TRADITIONALISATION” that is taking place in sectors of society that are adherents to the mainline “religions”. Not only are they having more children, but they are also gaining adherents.

And it is this latest DATA POINT that is no doubt driving the homosexualists of FrancisChurch and specifically Team Francis crazy. Aside, we know that they track the progress of the Evangelicals sects so they must know the data. But I digress…

How could it be that the “arc of progress” should mean more secularization in FrancisWorld, while the empirical evidence points to more “religion”?

And not only is the general trend toward more religion, but the trend inside specific “belief systems” is also toward “more religion”. And with no small dose of amusement does this humble blogger notice that even the “atheists” are becoming “religious”.

Even the Catholic TRADS are noticing.

Now, these TRADS don’t like the idea that the biggest voices driving God’s creation back to religion are people who do not proclaim the SALVIFIC qualities of the Son of God. The main criticism of the “atheists turning Christian” is that there is a risk of creating a “Christianity without Christ”.

But what my long term reader of this blog will recognize is that a Christianity without Christ entails nothing more than the NATURAL SIDE of ONTOLOGICAL REALITY.

In other words, the former “atheists” are now converting to agnosticism and coming to the realization that NATURAL LAW in fact does exist. Or to put it another way, they are bringing their lost sheep to what Kierkegaard called the LEAP OF FAITH.

And once these folks take this LEAP OF FAITH, then it’s Aristotelian/Thomistic logic and reason that will bring these folks to the ONE TRUE RELIGION, i.e. CATHOLICISM.

As this humble blogger continuously and tirelessly repeats: IT’S A PROCESS.

And as every good Catholic surely knows, the end of the road always leads to the TRUTH and we know who the TRUTH is…

And if we forget, here is Dr. Jordan Peterson to remind us…

The Brexit Desperation Rises As The Betrayal Deepens

Authored by Tom Luongo,

British parliament is now worse than a joke. And they have no one to blame but themselves.

Yesterday the British parliament again took over the business from the government and again was incapable of providing any direction to that government as to what kind or type of Brexit would be acceptable.

Mike Shedlock has a good run-down of the votes themselves if you are interested in what terminal virtue-signaling looks like. Mike thinks:

There will likely be one more round of “indicative votes” and also likely May’s Deal vs No Deal or the result of the indicative vote.

There are options left. Theresa May will try to steer this to the vote she wanted all along: My Deal or No Deal.

If she can achieve that, I suspect it will pass but it is by no means certain.

I agree with the first point but the real challenge is neither of the options he lays out, there’s a bigger problem as of today. It is the latest betrayal of Brexit by Oliver Letwin and Yvette Cooper who will try and ram through a long-extension bill on Wednesday to put off Brexit for an indefinite period of time.

It will be yet another amendment of the Article 50 law that is, for all intents and purposes, a travesty of British parliamentary history since these amendments to the law have not gone through the normal review process which could easily take more time than these traitors have to stop Brexit happening on April 12th.

They are searching for a way to find a solution that involves them winning voter support while betraying Brexit. Project Fear hasn’t worked and now we’re into Project Attrition.

The problem is there is no such solution.

And the reason for that is has nothing to do with a house divided, party politics or anything else.

It’s all about them.

Politicians are a feckless and cowardly lot. They exist only to get re-elected and retain the perks of the office.

This is especially true in Britain as so many of them are incapable of holding, in Nigel Farage’s words, “a proper job” where they provide something of value in exchange for their time.

They are only good at one thing: being members of parliament, conniving for their own advantage.

And this has disheartened many British people, who rightly see their MPs imposing their will over those who voted for them.

It reeks of arrogance and entitlement. But it also reeks of fear.

Watching this play out reminds me of something Lee Stranahan said to me in my talk with him last fall. He said people think politicians don’t care about what we think, but that that is not true.

Politicians care only about what we think. Their entire lives are spent checking the direction of the political winds to see what they can get away with.

And the reason Brexit is such a ‘cock-up’ is because MPs refuse to actually vote for what they want to do because they know what the backlash from voters will be.

Ignore the opinion polling, especially in Britain. As I’m fond of saying, “there are lies, damn lies, statistics and British polling.” If the MPs were so secure in their arguments that the “people didn’t know what they were voting for in 2016,” or “things change, let’s put this to another vote” they wouldn’t have voted down all forms of Brexit and all forms of Not-Brexit over the past three weeks.

They would have voted for something.

And that’s because the Remainer Tories are scared of losing their seats for betraying their mandate and so is most of Labour. The only ones who seem committed to their path are the Scottish Nationals, having put all of their eggs into the ‘IndyRef 2’ basket, hoping a 2nd referendum on Brexit will pave the way for a second one on Scottish independence.

That’s why the desperation is so thick right now. Letwin is a dyed-in-the-wook europhile, who has a history of stabbing Prime Ministers in the back (Poll Tax) for political gain and Cooper is simply angling for Jeremy Corbyn’s spot as leader of Labour.

Both are calculating that they can stop Brexit and win politically as the heroes who saved the country from a “No-Deal” Brexit. I’m sure they know just how much the U.K. would be punished in the short term by the financial markets, currency speculators, banksters and corporate raiders, standing behind them and their counterparts in Brussels.

The Davos Crowd in other words.

Remember, the mood at Davos this year was like a morgue. The oligarchs know they are fighting a defensive war now.

That is the plan at this point. To wear down opposition to their plans and blackmail the people into submission lest they lose trillions.

Don’t let the EU’s strong facade fool you. These people do not want a ‘no-deal’ Brexit anymore than my goats want steak for dinner. We already know this because we are into stoppage time on Brexit, handed out precisely because Theresa May went to them at the end of March with “No-Deal” in her back pocket.

But they have no other plan now. It’s more arm-twisting, desperation and hysteria. For now, it’s about the Letwin-Cooper amendment creating the illusion of cross-party support.

While Theresa May meets with Jeremy Corbyn to hash out what they can bring to the EU next week.

The EU wants the deal they dictated to Theresa May. She can’t deliver that. Now both will conspire to destroy both parties and betray Brexit.

In America, bipartisanship is just a euphemism for the two parties coming together to screw the people. That’s how we get everything bad in the U.S.

The same thing will happen here over Brexit.

Corbyn and May will lock horns and we’ll find out who is made of what. You know I think Theresa May is made of Gypsum, so all Corbyn has to do is access what’s left of his testosterone after a lifetime of selling it out to Marxism and Brexit will be over.

The likelihood now is that they will craft the worst possible compromise and try and sell that to both of their backbenchers.

Letwin and Cooper have set the stage with the legislation.

Now it’s up to Corbyn and May to bring it on home.

And in no case does “England Prevail.”

BREXIT, Yellow Vest Just The Latest Iterations Of The Tower Of Babel…

Today more from Tom Luongo via Zero Hedge. (see here)

The post below is a clarification post since this humble blogger has been asked to explain how some of the recent information appearing on this blog fit together. The subject matter is not so much BREXIT specifically, but how it fits into a wider CONTEXT.

So here’s the HYPOTHESIS.

In the POLITICAL (specifically “national governance”) sub-set of the Visibilium Omnium, information has appeared in the public domain that there is a group of people who are trying to bring about the creation of a ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT (OWG).

Now this information has not only been produced by “interested parties” that are against this OWG, i.e. the “conspiracy theory” types, but has also been provided by “interested parties” who are actually trying to make it happen. (see here and here)

Given the above, it cannot be denied that there are “interested parties” who are promoting a ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT and that this “project” is an OBJECTIVE REALITY.

What can be questioned is its SIGNIFICANCE.

Which brings us to the European Project and BREXIT.

What we are seeing in the European Project is a ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT experiment, yet on a smaller scale. What we are in fact seeing is a PROCESS that is attempting to do away with NATURAL BOUNDRIES, be they linguistic, geographical, theological or cultural. What we are also seeing is an attempt to create a new form of “democracy” called a “liberal democracy”, wherein individual citizens are ruled by a group of “elites” that are appointed rather than through an electoral process. And if this model becomes “acceptable” (functional), then it will only be a matter of time until it is exported to other spheres of the lands occupied by Western Civilization.

Which is why BREXIT is such a BIG DEAL.

Through BREXIT, one of the lands of Western Civilization has voted, through a popular referendum to extricate itself from the ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT experiment that is the European Union Project.

The threat that BREXIT poses for the GLOBALIST elites is that if the United Kingdom leaves and it is better off afterwards, other lands of Western Civilization will likely follow. Therefore, the European “elites’ have taken it upon themselves to do everything in their power to CRUSH THE REBELLION.

Here is a glimpse of the bigger picture put into a historical CONTEXT:

Yet it would also be wise to observe that even the 1938 Sudetenland Crisis is not anything new, or anything that we haven’t seen before.

Actually, the first record of such an EVENT we can trace back to the Book of Genesis and the story of the Tower of Babel. Below is the explanation:

Summa summarum, when we look at the situation with making changes to complex systems, and the push backs that they generate, i.e. the BREXIT, or with the Yellow Vests or with the ascent of the Salvini, Orban, Kaczynski, etc. governments in European lands of Western Civilization, or even the Traditionalist revolt against the neo/post-Modernist destruction of the post-conciliar church, what we are in fact observing is just the latest interation of the Tower of Babel story playing itself out.

So today, your humble blogger provides more information about the latest attempt to build the latest iteration of the Tower of Babel, that is presently tranpiring in the Frankish lands of Western Civilization.

But make no mistake about it folks, it is BREXIT that is the most critical FRACTURE that is playing itself out at present. (latest here)

Globalism’s Last Disgrace: The Army Vs The Yellow Vests

Authored by Tom Luongo via The Strategic Culture Foundation,

There are few people in this world more odious than French President Emmanuel Macron after his behavior this week. I’m sure there are child molesters who are worse. But as a man who is pivotal in the future of hundreds of millions of people, his decision to order the French military to quell the Yellow Vests protests with live ammunition is simply vile.

Macron outed himself as the very symbol of what animates the globalist elite he represents.

Disdain.

The disdain he holds for the people he leads is palpable. It’s as palpable for his disdain for the British who voted for Brexit. To him the EU is all, the EU is inevitable and when faced with the choice of serving France or serving the EU, he chooses the EU every time.

That is what led him to this disastrous decision to deploy the French military to the streets for the first time since 1948 with orders to shoot protestors.

And that disdain is so complete that he doesn’t realize what happens if even one of those men goes too far and takes the President at his word. Thankfully, that did not happen.

But if it did, he would have lost complete control of his country, if he hasn’t already.

The estimates for Act XIX of the Gilets Jaunes this weekend were over 125,000 across France. That many people taking to the streets risking getting shot is not something you dismiss with a wave of your hand.

It is something as a leader you need to take very seriously.

Because the real fear for Macron is not a violent demonstration that ends with protestors shot and killed. No, the real fear is the protests that are peaceful.

Because what happens, Mr. Macron, if the soldiers you deployed to suppress attendance to these demonstrations see first-hand just how much the violence reported has been overblown?

Or worse, the lack of it confirms their suspicions that the violence was committed by agent provocateurs who now didn’t show up because it’s no longer worth the €25/hour they are being paid to sow discontent?

They’ll see exactly what Macron doesn’t want them to see: angry, dispirited, desperate people with legitimate grievances expressing those feelings the only way they know how.

If Macron wasn’t courting civil war before this weekend, he is now.

Because an uprising against a corrupt and unresponsive government by some people is one thing. It starts with the most angry but it can spread over time only if the government doesn’t hear them.

Macron’s reactions have only made things worse at every turn.

So, while the people started this fight for the future of France it will be the military that ends it. And woe to Macron and the French political elite if the military on the ground sides with the people they were sent to shoot.

There is nothing more cowardly than a supposedly liberal, tolerant democracy sending in the military to shut down and order violence against is own people for taking to the streets. It is simply the order of tin-pot dictator with delusions of adequacy.

Prudent leadership stems from having weapons and knowing when and how to use them. The images coming from France have been horrific and no better than those captured during Mariano Rajoy’s crackdown on Catalonia during its independence referendum in 2017.

That response cost him his job. So too will it be for Macron now that he has crossed that line.

Macron is under the orders of his paymasters in The Davos Crowd to get control over France. He will not be removed from office as long as he acts in accordance with their wishes. By now they would have replaced him with someone more acceptable to defuse the situation.

There is only one problem with that. There is no one else.

Macron’s approval rating is abysmal. He’s polling behind Marine Le Pen’s National Rally who will send more members to the European Parliament than his En Marche will in May.

He was already the bait and switch candidate in 2017’s election. The globalist-in-reformer’s clothing. And now that he’s the focal point of the Gilets Jaunes’ anger nothing short of a violent put-down of their rebellion will save Macron at this point.

Because they know this and they know that he hates them.

But a violent put-down is only winning the battle to lose the war.

With the EU locked in mortal combat with Brexiteers and Italy pushing the envelope in the European Council, there’s no room to maneuver here.

So, this continues until it can’t. At which point Macron’s legitimacy will evaporate and political change will occur. But the globalists behind Macron and in French political circles will put that off for as long as possible.

That’s why the lack of violence at ACT XIX’s marches this weekend was so important. Macron’s bluff was called. And that means we’re nearing the end of his story. And it couldn’t happen to a more deserving weasel.

Merkel, you’re on deck.
