Hope all my dear and loyal readers are having a pleasant and safe, … above all safe… summer.

This humble blogger has been busy with other matters this past few months so the posting has suffered. For this, your humble blogger apologizes.

However, today the Deus ex Machina blog has been fired up since it is a red letter day. A couple of TRENDS have appeared in the public domain, that align perfectly with what this blog has been indentifying… well… since its onset. Therefore, it is only fitting to bring these OCCURENCES to your attention.

We begin with the economic and financial market sub-set of the Visibilium Omnium, et Invisibilium. On the 23rd of July, this post HERE appeared on our favorite catholic Zero Hedge website. In this post, its author  Seth Levine via the  RealInvestmentAdvice.com, explains to his readers all about post-Modernism and how it affects this particular area of interest.

Those who follow this humble blog will recognize the hermeneutic followed by the author of the post.

And the second OCCURENCE of post-Modernism being brought and ‘splained to the unwashed masses, appeared just this morning on the Mises Institute blog. For those who are not familiar with this organization, it is the foremost proponent of what is known as the Austrian School of economics. The Austrian School in turn, is the major proponent of everything that is individualistic, free market and in accordance with the Natural Law. In fact, the Austrian School traces its lineage to St. Thomas Aquinas and the Scholastics. And what’s more interesting, this information about its linkage with St. Thomas can be found on its website.

And just for CONTEXT purposes, as the Modernist’s within the pre and post concilior church were suppressing those ‘abstract’, ‘rationalist’, ‘ahistorical’, ‘arid’, ‘frozen’, ‘immobile’, ‘obsessed’, ‘encouraging pure secularity’, ‘sclerotically hardened and furred theologically, spiritually and ecclesially’, ‘causing a rupture between theology and life’, a ‘wax mask’, a ‘straightjacket’ that ‘reduced theological speculation to sterility’ and all around “manualistic” Thomists from within their ranks (see HERE), Thomism proper was flourishing outside of this “theological cum ideological” sub-set of the et Invisibilium. In the case of this economic sub-set, through the Austrian School and its most famous “golden child” that it produced, the Monetarists of the Chicago School.

Leaving off here, what is most important to understand from this post is that modern man, who presently is having a hard time explaining the OBJECTIVE REALITY of what it is that he is OBSERVING, is turning to the time tested knowledge of what our ancestors have accumulated. This road to the Walhalla of wisdom that these modern men are seeking, appears to lead through gaining an understanding of 20th Century economic literary and philosophical movements, movements such as the Marxist post-Modernist movements.

But as far as the Truth is concerned, well as St. Augustine of Hippo OBSERVED...

PS And a timely reminder HERE…

Why Marxist Organizations Like BLM Seek To Dismantle The “Western Nuclear Family”

Authored by Bradley Thomas via The Mises Institute,

One of the most oft-cited and criticized goals of the Black Lives Matter organization is its stated desire to abolish the family as we know it. Specifically, BLM’s official website states:

We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable.

This idea isn’t unique to BLM, of course. “Disrupting” the “nuclear family” is a commonly stated goal among Maxist organizations. Given that BLM’s founders have specifically claimed to be “trained Marxists,” we should not be surprised that the organization’s leadership has embraced a Marxian view of the family.

But where does this hostility toward the family originate? Partly, it comes from the theories of Marx and Engels themselves, and their views that an earlier, matriarchal version of the family rejected private property as an organizing principle of society. It was only later that this older tribal model of the family gave way to the modern “patriarchal” family, which promotes and sustains private property.

Clearly, in the Marxian view, this “new” type of family must be opposed, since the destruction of this family model will make it easier to abolish private property as well.

Early Family Units in Tribal Life

Frederick Engels’s 1884 book The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State provides a historical perspective of the Marxian view of the development of the modern Western family unit and its relation to property rights. (Engels, of course, was the longtime benefactor of and collaborator with Marx.)

In reconstructing the origins of the family within a Marxian framework, Engels traces back to the “savage” primeval stage of humanity that, according to his research, revealed a condition in which “unrestricted sexual intercourse existed within a tribe, so that every woman belonged to every man, and vice versa.”

Under such conditions, Engels explained, “it is uncertain who is the father of the child, but certain, who is its mother.” Only female lineage could be acknowledged. “[B]eing the only well known parents of younger generations,” Engels explained, women as mothers “received a high tribute of respect and deference, amounting to a complete women’s rule [gynaicocracy].”

Furthermore, Engels wrote, tribes were subdivided into smaller groups called “gentes,” a primitive form of an extended family of sorts.

These gens were consanguineous (i.e., included people descended from the same ancestor) on the mother’s side, within which intermarrying was strictly forbidden. “The men of certain ‘gens,’ therefore, could choose their wives within the tribe, and did so as a rule, but had to choose them outside of their ‘gens,’” Engels explained. And “marriage” at this stage was a “communal” affair, meaning that multiple partnerships between men and women was closer to the rule than the exception.

Because mothers were the only parents who could be determined with certainty, and the smaller gentes were arranged around the mother’s relatives, early family units were very maternal in nature and maternal law regarding rights and duties for childrearing and inheritance were the custom.

Transition to the “Pairing Family”

This was the state of affairs for thousands of years, according to Engels. Over time, however, there emerged what Engels referred to as the “pairing family,” in which “A man had his principal wife…among many women, and he was to her the principal husband among others.” This was in no small part due to the “gentes” within tribes developing more and more classes of relatives not allowed to marry one another. Due to these increasing restrictions, group marriage became increasingly impossible and ever more replaced by the pairing family structure.

Under this structure, however, the role of mothers was still dominant. Quoting Arthur Wright, a missionary among the Seneca Iroquois tribe, Engels notes, “The female part generally ruled the house….The women were the dominating power in the clans [gentes] and everywhere else.”

The fact that women all belonged to the same gens, while husbands came from separate gentes “was the cause and foundation of the general and widespread supremacy of women in primeval times,” Engels wrote.

“In the ancient communistic household comprising many married couples and their children, the administration of the household entrusted to women was just as much a public function, a socially necessary industry, as the procuring of food by men,” he added.

As society evolved, as Engels described it, from “savagery” to “barbarism,” an important evolution was man’s development of weapons and knowledge that enabled them to better domesticate and breed animals.

Cattle and livestock became a source of wealth, a store of milk and meat. “But who was the owner of this new wealth?” asked Engels. “Doubtless it was originally the gens,” he answered, referring to a collective, or group ownership over the sources of wealth. “However, private ownership of flocks must have had an early beginning.”

“Procuring the means of existence had always been the man’s business. The tools of production were manufactured and owned by him. The herds were the new tools of production, and their taming and tending was his work. Hence he owned the cattle and the commodities and slaves obtained in exchange for them,” Engels explained. This transition marked an early passage from “collective” property to “private” ownership over property—particularly property in productive resources.

Such a transformation, Engels noted, “brought about a revolution in the family.”

Part of that revolution involved a shift in the power dynamics of the household.

“All the surplus now resulting from production fell to the share of the man. The woman shared in its fruition, but she could not claim its ownership,” wrote Engels.

The domestic status of the woman in the house, which had previously involved control and distribution of the means of sustenance, had been reversed.

“Man’s advent to practical supremacy in the household marked the removal to his universal supremacy,” and further ushered in “the gradual transition from the pairing family to the monogamic family” (what we would consider the nuclear family).

With the superior status acquired, Engels wrote, men were able to overthrow the maternal right to inheritance, a move he described as “the historic defeat of the female sex.”

The family unit’s transition to a male-centered patriarchy was complete, according to Engels. Much of the blame for this can be attributed to the emergence of private property and men’s claim over it.

How to Overcome the Patriarchy?

In the Marxian view, therefore, the modern nuclear family runs counter to the ancient “communistic” household Engels had earlier described. It is patriarchal and centered on private property.

“In the great majority of cases the man has to earn a living and to support his family, at least among the possessing classes. He thereby obtains a superior position that has no need of any legal special privilege. In the family, he is the bourgeois, the woman represents the proletariat.” The family unit, rather than the collective tribe, had become the “industrial unit of society.”

The overthrow of this patriarchic dominance can only come, according to Engels, by abolishing private property in the means of production—which he and those steeped in Marxist ideology blame for the patriarchy.

“The impending [communist] revolution will reduce this whole care of inheritance to a minimum by changing at least the overwhelming part of permanent and inheritable wealth – the means of production – into social property,” he concluded.

What would this new social arrangement look like, according to Engels?

The care and education of children becomes a public matter. Society cares equally well for all children, legal or illegal. This removes the care about the “consequences” which now forms the essential social factor – moral and economic – hindering a girl to surrender unconditionally to the beloved man.

In this we see early echoes of the modern left’s current refrain attacking “patriarchy” and the nuclear family as essentially capitalist and private property–based institutions.

In this, BLM is no different from other Marxist groups. The organization’s goals extend far beyond police abuse and police brutality. The ultimate goal is the abolition of a society based upon private property in the means of production.

… on Barrack Hussain Obama.

Dear and loyal readers,

As you all well know, one of the most important, not to mention disturbing aspects of the systematic and continued destruction of the post-conciliar church is the part that the US based interests have played.

Just as a quick reminder, one example of the duplicity of members of the US post-conciliar church can be readily OBSERVED in the WikiLeaks document below (see link here):

As you dear and loyal reader can see, this “initiative” is dated early 2012.

What else was happening in 2012?

Well, the Obama Administration in 2012 gave access to the National Security Administration Data Base to outside independent sub-contractors.

Fast forward, this decision and subsequent illegal activities by these sub-contractors allowed the Obama Administration to spy on its political opponents.

Cutting to the chase, the most likely explanation for the present Coup d’Etat and the spying on first the Republican candidates prior to the 2016 Presidential Election, then spying on the Trump campaign which morphed into spying on the Trump Transition and later spying and covert operations against a duly elected and sitting President Trump was the attempt by the Obama Administration to conceal the ILLEGAL SPYING ACTIVITIES THAT IT WAS ENGAGING IN SINCE 2012.

What else happened in 2012?

Well, there was a Presidential Election.

Therefore, what appears to be the case is that the Obama Administration was already spying on the Republicans and subsequently their 2012 candidate Mitt Romney. However, since the Romney Republicans don’t really care about winning elections, but rather care about “doing business”, no one even cared to ask any question about why it was that a clear frontrunner like Romney could have lost an election in such a spectacular manner.

Hint: He had help…

So the above explains why 2012 is a very important year on our timeline.

Fast forward to today.

Yesterday a very important piece of EVIDENCE appeared.

To provide proper context, it must be remembered that:

The Russian hoax that Vladimir Putin was interfering in the US elections was a scam that was created by the Democrats that they then used as justification to SPY on US persons and especially the Republican candidates and then on the newly elected President of the United States.

In early January of 2017, Obama created an artificial “crisis” involving the Russians. This crisis was a ruse to “justify” his crooked administration activities and to make the claim that people in the Trump transition team were “involved” with the Russians.

From the documentation recently provided by the Director of National Intelligence, the target of this Russian ruse from January 2017 was General Michael Flynn. It appears that Obama needed to get General Flynn, the incoming National Security Advisor either fired or arrested. The documentation shows that the Obama Administration was illegally investigating Gen. Flynn from mid 2016.

And here is the key:

On January 4th, 2017 the Washington field office of the FBI that was investigating General Flynn decided to drop the case against the General because they could not find any “wrong doing”.

That same day, Obama’s operatives in the FBI (hard to find anyone that was not an Obama operative in the FBI to be honest) had a major problem. They apparently were under instructions to remove Gen Flynn from his official post on the Transition Team. The main operator, one Peter Strzok informed the “7th Floor” , i.e. the Director and Deputy Director (Comey and McCabe) of the problem, which they then intervened and stopped the investigation of Gen Flynn from being closed.

The next day, “All the President’s Men” had a meeting at the White House about how to “resolve” this major problem. This meeting was memorialised by Susan Rice in her infamouse “memo to self”. (‘Dear self, I did nothing wrong and Obama is a good guy too.’)

At this meeting, this is what transpired:

““President Obama said he wants to be sure that, as we engage with the incoming team, we are mindful to ascertain if there is any reason that we cannot share information fully as it relates to Russia,” National Security Advisor Susan Rice wrote in an unusual email to herself about the meeting that was also attended by Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, FBI Director James Comey, and Vice President Joe Biden.”

Infantile and simultaneously criminal… but I digress…

Keeping this in mind, now please read the below post from Sundance at the Conservative Treehouse.

From the information below, what is key to understand is Obama’s reaction.

Specifically, we now know that General Flynn was illegally entrapped and framed for “lying to the FBI”, which even the two agents that interviewed him claim he didn’t do.

If Obama was smart (and he’s not), what he should have done was to claim that he was not informed of what the FBI agents and senior management had done.

“Hey, I can’t know everything that going on in Washington, man.”

Instead, he… well you can read for yourselves.

Concluding, what is important to note here is that these illegal activities in the Obama Administration did not limit themselves to the POLITICAL sub-set of the Visibilium Omnium, et Invisibilium, as per WikiLeaks email.

As we know, in February of 2013, the Roman Pontiff “resigned” and was replaced by an ObamaBishop of Rome.

Eventually, we will know how that came to pass…

… just as we are now finding out how it came to pass that a group of political thugs let by a US president was responsible for framing and then coercing a guilty plea from an innocent man.

The Truth will come out, if not through the engagements of men, then by its very own Nature!

OMT The walls are closing in…

Obama Panics – President Obama Gives Political Operatives and Media Talking Points to Protect Him…

Posted on May 8, 2020 by sundance

The good news is former President Obama is panicked by recent sunlight; the slight possibility of a U.S. DOJ that may soon have him in the cross-hairs; and the more obvious possibility the American people will discover the scale of his corrupt weaponization of intelligence to target his political opposition.

The better news is former President Obama is so heavily concerned about the looming possibilities; rather than relying on intermediary instructions through Media Matters; he is giving political operatives and national media his instructions directly.  LISTEN:

 

And a bonus videoabout the duplicity of the Republicans in Name Only from a real Republican:

A quick post today regarding the controversy surrounding the Wuhan Virus…

Your humble blogger would also like to take this opportunity to introduce my dear and loyal readers to the youtube video blog Red Pill Germany.

After following this blogger over the last few months, the content that he produces I find to be quite objective and of high quality. Therefore, the information contained can be viewed as a pretty fair and balanced representation of the general situation in modern day Germany.

As to why this is important, as my long time readers are well aware, what happens in Germany is a major influence on that which happens in other major “centers of power”, such as the Vatican, the “c”atholic sects that arose after WWII such as the Focalore and Sant’Egidio, the entire Catholic Church in South America, the forums in the United Nations and other international bodies such as the World Health Organization and extending direclty into the major US foundations like the Ford and the McArthur Foundations and the US corporate #FakeNews media.

Naturally, the manner in which the Germans influence these various “centers of power” is through their “soft power” funding, a sizeable part of which comprises the infamous KIRCHENSTEUER. Therefore, understanding what happens in Germany is a very important to understanding the ORIGINS of how much, if not most of the stupid and very toxic cultural Marxist stuff … that just springs up “from nowhere” in places like the US, Ireland and Poland just to name a few.

Moving on, below is a video from The Conservative Treehouse. Please watch and pass on to your friends and family… just in case you or they find themsleves in this situation… (see post here)

And finally, from our very catholic Zero Hedge website, a short message from a couple of “experienced medical professionals who have 40 years of hands-on experience in dealing with viruses and respiratory infections”. (see here)

The “fog of war” on the Chinese Virus is beginning to lift…

*****

Whistleblowing ER Docs Urge “Open Up Society Now” Because “Lockdowns Are Weakening Our Immune Systems”

Authored by Edward Peter Stringham via The American Institute for Economic Research,

Dr. Daniel W. Erickson of Bakersfield, California, is a former emergency-room physician who co-owns, with his partner Dr. Artin Massih, Accelerated Urgent Care in Bakersfield.

They are experienced medical professionals who have 40 years of hands-on experience in dealing with viruses and respiratory infections.

Watching the news in China in January, they knew the virus was on its way. They ordered many COVID-19 tests because they knew they would need them. They tested many thousands of people, and discovered for themselves what epidemiologists around the world are saying:  COVID-19 came here earlier than previously believed, is more ubiquitous, and ultimately for the general population less deadly than we thought.

While this realization is gradually dawning on people around the world, they went public with their findings, which are not generated out of a predictive model but rather the actual facts of the case. In the course of their press conference, they addressed the question of whether or not California should have shut down much of its economy. Their answer is no. They conclude with the need to open up immediately, on grounds of health and human rights.

“If you’re going to dance on someone’s constitutional rights you better have a good reason, you better have a really good reason, not just a theory,” he said.

“The data is showing us it’s time to lift (the stay-at-home orders) so if we don’t lift, what is the reason?”

Here are some selected quotes from their interview with a hostile reporter (emphasis added).

We’d like to look at how we’ve responded as a nation, and why you responded. Our first initial response two months ago was a little bit of fear: [the government] decided to shut down travel to and from China. These are good ideas when you don’t have any facts. [Governments] decided to keep people at home and isolate them. Typically you quarantine the sick. When someone has measles you quarantine them. We’ve never seen where we quarantine the healthy. 

So that’s kind of how we started. We don’t know what’s going on, we see this new virus. How should we respond? So we did that initially, and over the last couple months we’ve gained a lot of data typically. We’re going to go over the numbers a little bit to kind of help you see how widespread COVID is, and see how we should be responding to it based on its prevalence throughout society—or the existence of the cases that we already know about….

So if you look at California—these numbers are from yesterday—we have 33,865 COVID cases, out of a total of 280,900 total tested. That’s 12% of Californians were positive for COVID. So we don’t, the initial—as you guys know, the initial models were woefully inaccurate. They predicted millions of cases of death – not of prevalence or incidence – but death.

That is not materializing. What is materializing is, in the state of California is 12% positives.

You have a 0.03% chance of dying from COVID in the state of California. Does that necessitate sheltering in place? Does that necessitate shutting down medical systems? Does that necessitate people being out of work?

96% of people in California who get COVID would recover, with almost no significant sequelae;  or no significant continuing medical problems. Two months ago we didn’t know this. The more you test, the more positives you get. The prevalence number goes up, and the death rate stays the same. So [the death rate] gets smaller and smaller and smaller. And as we move through this data—what I want you to see is—millions of cases, small death. Millions of cases, small death.

We extrapolate data, we test people, and then we extrapolate for the entire community based on the numbers. The initial models were so inaccurate they’re not even correct. And some of them were based on social distancing and still predicted hundreds of thousands of deaths, which has been inaccurate. In New York the ones they tested they found 39% positive. So if they tested the whole state would we indeed have 7.5 million cases? We don’t know; we will never test the entire state. So we extrapolate out; we use the data we have because it’s the most we have versus a predictive model that has been nowhere in the ballpark of accurate. How many deaths do they have? 19,410 out of 19 million people, which is a 0.1% chance of dying from COVID in the state of New York. If you are indeed diagnosed with COVID-19, 92% of you will recover.

We’ve tested over 4 million… which gives us a 19.6% positive out of those who are tested for COVID-19. So if this is a typical extrapolation 328 million people times 19.6 is 64 million. That’s a significant amount of people with COVID; it’s similar to the flu. If you study the numbers in 2017 and 2018 we had 50 to 60 million with the flu. And we had a similar death rate in the deaths the United States were 43,545—similar to the flu of 2017-2018. We always have between 37,000 and 60,000 deaths in the United States, every single year. No pandemic talk. No shelter-in-place. No shutting down businesses…

We do thousands of flu tests every year. We don’t report every one, because the flu is ubiquitous and to that note we have a flu vaccine. How many people even get the flu vaccine? The flu is dangerous, it kills people. Just because you have a vaccine doesn’t mean it’s gonna be everywhere and it doesn’t mean everyone’s going to take it… I would say probably 50% of the public doesn’t even want it. Just because you have a vaccine—unless you forced it on the public—doesn’t mean they’re going to take it.

Norway has locked down; Sweden does not have lock down. What happened in those two countries? Are they vastly different? Did Sweden have a massive outbreak of cases? Did Norway have nothing? Let’s look at the numbers. Sweden has 15,322 cases of COVID—21% of all those tested came out positive for COVID. What’s the population of Sweden? About 10.4 million. So if we extrapolate out the data about 2 million cases of COVID in Sweden. They did a little bit of social distancing; they would wear masks and separate; they went to schools; stores were open. They were almost about their normal daily life with a little bit of social distancing. They had how many deaths? 1,765. California’s had 1,220 with isolation. No isolation: 1,765. We have more people. Norway: its next-door neighbor. These are two Scandinavian nations; we can compare them as they are similar. 4.9% of all COVID tests were positive in Norway. Population of Norway: 5.4 million. So if we extrapolate the data, as we’ve been doing, which is the best we can do at this point, they have about 1.3 million cases. Now their deaths as a total number, were 182. So you have a 0.003 chance of death as a citizen of Norway and a 97% recovery. Their numbers are a little bit better. Does it necessitate shutdown, loss of jobs, destruction of the oil company, furloughing doctors?

I wanted to talk about the effects of COVID-19, the secondary effects. COVID-19 is one aspect of our health sector. What has it caused to have us be involved in social isolation?  What does it cause that we are seeing the community respond to? Child molestation is increasing at a severe rate. We could go over multiple cases of children who have been molested due to angry family members who are intoxicated, who are home, who have no paycheck. Spousal abuse: we are seeing people coming in here with black eyes and cuts on their face. It’s an obvious abuse of case. These are things that will affect them for a lifetime, not for a season. Alcoholism, anxiety, depression, suicide. Suicide is spiking; education is dropped off; economic collapse. Medical industry we’re all suffering because our staff isn’t here and we have no volume. We have clinics from Fresno to San Diego and these things are spiking in our community. These things will affect people for a lifetime, not for a season.

I’d like to go over some basic things about how the immune system functions so people have a good understanding. The immune system is built by exposure to antigens: viruses, bacteria.  When you’re a little child crawling on the ground, putting stuff in your mouth, viruses and bacteria come in. You form an antigen antibody complex. You form IgG IgM. This is how your immune system is built. You don’t take a small child put them in bubble wrap in a room and say, “go have a healthy immune system.” 

This is immunology, microbiology 101. This is the basis of what we’ve known for years. When you take human beings and you say, “go into your house, clean all your counters—Lysol them down you’re gonna kill 99% of viruses and bacteria; wear a mask; don’t go outside,” what does it do to our immune system? Our immune system is used to touching. We share bacteria. Staphylococcus, streptococcal, bacteria, viruses.

Sheltering in place decreases your immune system. And then as we all come out of shelter in place with a lower immune system and start trading viruses, bacteria—what do you think is going to happen? Disease is going to spike. And then you’ve got diseases spike—amongst a hospital system with furloughed doctors and nurses. This is not the combination we want to set up for a healthy society. It doesn’t make any sense.

…Did we respond appropriately? Initially the response, fine shut it down, but as the data comes across—and we say now, wait a second, we’ve never, ever responded like this in the history of the country why are we doing this now? Any time you have something new in the community medical community it sparks fear—and I would have done what Dr. Fauci did—so we both would have initially. Because the first thing you do is, you want to make sure you limit liability—and deaths—and I think what they did was brilliant, initially. But you know, looking at theories and models—which is what these folks use—is very different than the way the actual virus presents itself throughout communities….

Nobody talks about the fact that coronavirus lives on plastics for three days and we’re all sheltering in place. Where’d you get your water bottles from? Costco. Where did you get that plastic shovel from? Home Depot. If I swab things in your home I would likely find COVID-19. And so you think you’re protected. Do you see the lack of consistency here? Do you think you’re protected from COVID when you wear gloves that transfer disease everywhere? Those gloves have bacteria all over them. We wear masks in an acute setting to protect us. We’re not wearing masks. Why is that? Because we understand microbiology; we understand immunology; and we want strong immune systems. I don’t want to hide in my home, develop a weak immune system, and then come out and get disease.

When someone dies in this country right now they’re not talking about the high blood pressure, the diabetes, the stroke. They say they died from COVID. We’ve been to hundreds of autopsies. You don’t talk about one thing, you talk about comorbidities. COVID was part of it, it is not the reason they died folks. When I’m writing up my death report I’m being pressured to add COVID. 

Why is that? Why are we being pressured to add COVID? To maybe increase the numbers, and make it look a little bit worse than it is. We’re being pressured in-house to add COVID to the diagnostic list when we think it has nothing to do with the actual cause of death. The actual cause of death was not COVID, but it’s being reported as one of the disease processes and being added to the death list. COVID didn’t kill them, 25 years of tobacco use killed.

There’s two ways to get rid of virus: either burns itself out or herd immunity. For hundreds of years we relied on herd immunity. Viruses kill people, end of story. The flu kills people. COVID kills people. But for the rest of us we develop herd immunity. We developed the ability to take this virus in and defeat it and for the vast majority 95% of those around the globe. Do you want your immune system built or do you want it not built? The building blocks of your immune system is a virus and bacteria. There’s normal bacteria in normal flora that we have to be exposed to bacteria and viruses that are not virulent are our friends. They protect us against bad bacteria and bad viruses.

Right now, if you look at Dr. Erikson’s skin or my skin we have strep, we have stuff—they protect us against opportunistic infections. That’s why for the first three to six months [babies are] extremely vulnerable to opportunistic infection. Which is why, when we see a little baby in the ER with fever who is one month old, you do a spinal tap, you do a chest x-ray, you do blood cultures, you do urine cultures. But if you had a fever I wouldn’t do that for you. Why? Because that baby does not have the normal bacteria and flora from the community, whereas you do. I guarantee when we reopen there’s going to be a huge, huge amount of illness that’s going to be rampant because our immune systems have weakened. That’s just basic immunology.

Do we need to still shelter in place? Our answer is emphatically no. Do we need businesses to be shut down? Emphatically no. Do we need to have it, do we need to test them, and get them back to work? Yes, we do. The the secondary effects that we went over—the child abuse, alcoholism, loss of revenue—all these are, in our opinion, a significantly more detrimental thing to society than a virus that has proven similar in nature to the seasonal flu we have every year.

We also need to put measures in place so economic shutdown like this does not happen again. We want to make sure we understand that quarantining the sick is what we do, not quarantine the healthy. We need to make sure if you’re gonna dance on someone’s constitutional rights you better have a good reason. You better have a really good scientific reason, and not just theory.

One of the most important things is we need our hospitals back up. We need our furloughed doctors back. We need our nurses back. Because when we lift this thing, we’re gonna need all hands on deck. I know the local hospitals have closed two floors. Folks, that’s not the situation you want. We’re essentially setting ourselves up to have minimal staff, and we’re going to have significant disease. That’s the wrong combination.

I’ve talked to our local head of the Health Department and he’s waiting… for the powers that be to lift. Because the data is showing it’s time to lift. I would start slowly [open up schools sporting events] I think we need to open up the schools start getting kids back to the immune system you know and the major events the sporting events these are non-essential let’s get back to those slowly let’s start with schools let’s start with cafe Rio and the pizza place here… Does that make sense to you guys and I think I can go into Costco and I can shop with people and there’s probably a couple hundred people but I can’t go in Cafe Rio so big businesses are open little businesses are not….

Eventually we treat this like we treat flu. Which is if you have the flu and you’re feeling fever and body aches you just stay home if you have coughing or shortness of breath—COVID is more of a respiratory thing—you stay home. You don’t get tested, even when people come with flu a lot of times we don’t test them. We go, “you have flu. Here’s a medication.” You have COVID, go home, let it resolve and come back negative.

If you have no symptoms you should be able to return to work. Are you an asymptomatic viral spreader? Maybe, but we can’t test all of humanity. Sure we’re gonna miss cases of coronavirus, just like we miss cases of the flu. It would be nice to capture every coronavirus patient, but is that realistic? Are we gonna keep the economy shut down for two years and vaccinate everybody? That’s an unrealistic expectation. You’re going to cause financial ruin, domestic violence, suicide, rape, violence and what are you going to get out of it? You’re still going to miss a lot of cases. So we need to treat this like the flu, which is familiar, and eventually this will mutate and become less and less virulent…

I don’t need a double-blind clinically controlled trial to tell me if sheltering in place is appropriate, that is a college-level understanding of microbiology. A lot of times in medicine you have to make you have to make educated decisions with the data that you have. I can sit up in the 47th-floor in the penthouse and say we should do this, this, and this, but I haven’t seen a patient for 20 years—that’s not realistic.

If you’re healthy and you don’t have significant comorbidities and you know you’re not immunodeficient and you’re not elderly you should be able to go out without any gloves and without a mask. If you are those things you should either shelter in place or wear a mask and gloves. I don’t think everybody needs to wear the masks and gloves because it reduces your bacterial flora… and your bacterial flora and your viruses your friends that protect you from other diseases [if they] end up going away and now you’re more likely to get opportunistic infections infections that are hoping you don’t have your good bugs fighting for you.

So your humble blogger follows a number of youtube channels in addition to the websites that are referenced in the Deus ex Machina posts.

And as you dear and loyal readers might have noticed yourselves, the internet and especially youtube have turned into a primary source of unfiltered, objective and independant information. I.e. NEWS

Now I am aware that there is a lot of #fakenews on the net, but a person who has a minimal amount of critical thinking skills can discern between that which is false from that which is TRUE. And the TRUTH, or at least this has been the experience of this humble blogger, appears to attract the intellect of people who possess good will, like a magnet. Hence these youtube channels have amassed large followings.

One quick example of this TRUTH AS MAGNET PHENOMENON is the use of the term “neo-Marxist” or “Marxist” media.

Over the last few months, I have been noticing the use of the designator “Marxist media” or “neo-Marxist media” becoming wide spread.

The first OCCURENCE observed was in a Dr Steve Turley video a number of months back. Then Mark Dice started doing it. Then Frank Walker. The latest is Michael Voris. Lately I stumbled upon the website of Salty Cracker, and he’s doing it also.

Now this is a very good sign because these people to a greater or lesser degree thought through what they were seeing in the Mainstream Media, and are now labeling them properly.

This is a very positive development and if can be sustained and can spread, we could be seeing movement in the Overton Window.

Remember folks, before a problem can be addressed, it has to be identified and labeled.

Which brings me to the below.

On the back of yesterday’s post about the Chinese Virus, the below Zero Hedge post provides the opinions of 12 leading medical experts on the subject of the PANIC surrounding the Chinese Virus.

What is of critical importance to understand is that it is the same NEO-MARXIST POST-MODERNIST Media that is the source of the Chinese Virus Panic.

And the next time one of these NEO-MARXISTS disguised in the “secular humanist” wrapping starts lecturing us Catholics about EXPERTS and SCIENCE, you can point them to this Zero Hedge post republished below.

12 Experts Question The COVID-19 Panic

Below is our list of twelve medical experts whose opinions on the Coronavirus outbreak contradict the official narratives of the MSM, and the memes so prevalent on social media.

Dr Sucharit Bhakdi is a specialist in microbiology. He was a professor at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz and head of the Institute for Medical Microbiology and Hygiene and one of the most cited research scientists in German history.

What he says:

We are afraid that 1 million infections with the new virus will lead to 30 deaths per day over the next 100 days. But we do not realise that 20, 30, 40 or 100 patients positive for normal coronaviruses are already dying every day.

[The government’s anti-COVID19 measures] are grotesque, absurd and very dangerous […] The life expectancy of millions is being shortened. The horrifying impact on the world economy threatens the existence of countless people. The consequences on medical care are profound. Already services to patients in need are reduced, operations cancelled, practices empty, hospital personnel dwindling. All this will impact profoundly on our whole society.

All these measures are leading to self-destruction and collective suicide based on nothing but a spook.

*  *  *

Dr Wolfgang Wodarg is a German physician specialising in Pulmonology, politician and former chairman of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. In 2009 he called for an inquiry into alleged conflicts of interest surrounding the EU response to the Swine Flu pandemic.

What he says:

Politicians are being courted by scientists…scientists who want to be important to get money for their institutions. Scientists who just swim along in the mainstream and want their part of it […] And what is missing right now is a rational way of looking at things.

We should be asking questions like “How did you find out this virus was dangerous?”, “How was it before?”, “Didn’t we have the same thing last year?”, “Is it even something new?”

That’s missing.

Dr Joel Kettner s professor of Community Health Sciences and Surgery at Manitoba University, former Chief Public Health Officer for Manitoba province and Medical Director of the International Centre for Infectious Diseases.

What he says:

I have never seen anything like this, anything anywhere near like this. I’m not talking about the pandemic, because I’ve seen 30 of them, one every year. It is called influenza. And other respiratory illness viruses, we don’t always know what they are. But I’ve never seen this reaction, and I’m trying to understand why.

[…]

I worry about the message to the public, about the fear of coming into contact with people, being in the same space as people, shaking their hands, having meetings with people. I worry about many, many consequences related to that.

[…]

In Hubei, in the province of Hubei, where there has been the most cases and deaths by far, the actual number of cases reported is 1 per 1000 people and the actual rate of deaths reported is 1 per 20,000. So maybe that would help to put things into perspective.

*  *  *

Dr John Ioannidis Professor of Medicine, of Health Research and Policy and of Biomedical Data Science, at Stanford University School of Medicine and a Professor of Statistics at Stanford University School of Humanities and Sciences. He is director of the Stanford Prevention Research Center, and co-director of the Meta-Research Innovation Center at Stanford (METRICS).

He is also the editor-in-chief of the European Journal of Clinical Investigation. He was chairman at the Department of Hygiene and Epidemiology, University of Ioannina School of Medicine as well as adjunct professor at Tufts University School of Medicine.

As a physician, scientist and author he has made contributions to evidence-based medicine, epidemiology, data science and clinical research. In addition, he pioneered the field of meta-research. He has shown that much of the published research does not meet good scientific standards of evidence.

What he says:

Patients who have been tested for SARS-CoV-2 are disproportionately those with severe symptoms and bad outcomes. As most health systems have limited testing capacity, selection bias may even worsen in the near future.

The one situation where an entire, closed population was tested was the Diamond Princess cruise ship and its quarantine passengers. The case fatality rate there was 1.0%, but this was a largely elderly population, in which the death rate from Covid-19 is much higher.

[…]

Could the Covid-19 case fatality rate be that low? No, some say, pointing to the high rate in elderly people. However, even some so-called mild or common-cold-type coronaviruses that have been known for decades can have case fatality rates as high as 8% when they infect elderly people in nursing homes.

[…]

If we had not known about a new virus out there, and had not checked individuals with PCR tests, the number of total deaths due to “influenza-like illness” would not seem unusual this year. At most, we might have casually noted that flu this season seems to be a bit worse than average.

Dr Yoram Lass is an Israeli physician, politician and former Director General of the Health Ministry. He also worked as Associate Dean of the Tel Aviv University Medical School and during the 1980s presented the science-based television show Tatzpit.

What he says:

Italy is known for its enormous morbidity in respiratory problems, more than three times any other European country. In the US about 40,000 people die in a regular flu season and so far 40-50 people have died of the coronavirus, most of them in a nursing home in Kirkland, Washington.

[…]

In every country, more people die from regular flu compared with those who die from the coronavirus.

[…]

…there is a very good example that we all forget: the swine flu in 2009. That was a virus that reached the world from Mexico and until today there is no vaccination against it. But what? At that time there was no Facebook or there maybe was but it was still in its infancy. The coronavirus, in contrast, is a virus with public relations.

Whoever thinks that governments end viruses is wrong.

Dr Pietro Vernazza is a Swiss physician specialising Infectious Diseases at the Cantonal Hospital St. Gallen and Professor of Health Policy.

What he says:

We have reliable figures from Italy and a work by epidemiologists, which has been published in the renowned science journal ‹Science›, which examined the spread in China. This makes it clear that around 85 percent of all infections have occurred without anyone noticing the infection. 90 percent of the deceased patients are verifiably over 70 years old, 50 percent over 80 years.

[…]

In Italy, one in ten people diagnosed die, according to the findings of the Science publication, that is statistically one of every 1,000 people infected. Each individual case is tragic, but often – similar to the flu season – it affects people who are at the end of their lives.

[…]

If we close the schools, we will prevent the children from quickly becoming immune.

[…]

We should better integrate the scientific facts into the political decisions.

Frank Ulrich Montgomery is German radiologist, former President of the German Medical Association and Deputy Chairman of the World Medical Association.

What he says:

I’m not a fan of lockdown. Anyone who imposes something like this must also say when and how to pick it up again. Since we have to assume that the virus will be with us for a long time, I wonder when we will return to normal? You can’t keep schools and daycare centers closed until the end of the year. Because it will take at least that long until we have a vaccine. Italy has imposed a lockdown and has the opposite effect. They quickly reached their capacity limits, but did not slow down the virus spread within the lockdown.

Prof. Hendrik Streeck is a German HIV researcher, epidemiologist and clinical trialist. He is professor of virology, and the director of the Institute of Virology and HIV Research, at Bonn University.

What he says:

The new pathogen is not that dangerous, it is even less dangerous than Sars-1. The special thing is that Sars-CoV-2 replicates in the upper throat area and is therefore much more infectious because the virus jumps from throat to throat, so to speak. But that is also an advantage: Because Sars-1 replicates in the deep lungs, it is not so infectious, but it definitely gets on the lungs, which makes it more dangerous.

[…]

You also have to take into account that the Sars-CoV-2 deaths in Germany were exclusively old people. In Heinsberg, for example, a 78-year-old man with previous illnesses died of heart failure, and that without Sars-2 lung involvement. Since he was infected, he naturally appears in the Covid 19 statistics. But the question is whether he would not have died anyway, even without Sars-2.

Dr Yanis Roussel et. al. – A team of researchers from the Institut Hospitalo-universitaire Méditerranée Infection, Marseille and the Institut de Recherche pour le Développement, Assistance Publique-Hôpitaux de Marseille, conducting a peer-reviewed study on Coronavirus mortality for the government of France under the ‘Investments for the Future’ programme.

Receive a daily recap featuring a curated list of must-read stories.

The problem of SARS-CoV-2 is probably overestimated, as 2.6 million people die of respiratory infections each year compared with less than 4000 deaths for SARS-CoV-2 at the time of writing.

[…]

This study compared the mortality rate of SARS-CoV-2 in OECD countries (1.3%) with the mortality rate of common coronaviruses identified in AP-HM patients (0.8%) from 1 January 2013 to 2 March 2020. Chi-squared test was performed, and the P-value was 0.11 (not significant).

[…]

…it should be noted that systematic studies of other coronaviruses (but not yet for SARS-CoV-2) have found that the percentage of asymptomatic carriers is equal to or even higher than the percentage of symptomatic patients. The same data for SARS-CoV-2 may soon be available, which will further reduce the relative risk associated with this specific pathology.

Dr. David Katz is an American physician and founding director of the Yale University Prevention Research Center

What he says:

I am deeply concerned that the social, economic and public health consequences of this near-total meltdown of normal life — schools and businesses closed, gatherings banned — will be long-lasting and calamitous, possibly graver than the direct toll of the virus itself. The stock market will bounce back in time, but many businesses never will. The unemployment, impoverishment and despair likely to result will be public health scourges of the first order.

Michael T. Osterholm is regents professor and director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota.

What he says:

Consider the effect of shutting down offices, schools, transportation systems, restaurants, hotels, stores, theaters, concert halls, sporting events and other venues indefinitely and leaving all of their workers unemployed and on the public dole. The likely result would be not just a depression but a complete economic breakdown, with countless permanently lost jobs, long before a vaccine is ready or natural immunity takes hold.

[…]

[T]he best alternative will probably entail letting those at low risk for serious disease continue to work, keep business and manufacturing operating, and “run” society, while at the same time advising higher-risk individuals to protect themselves through physical distancing and ramping up our health-care capacity as aggressively as possible. With this battle plan, we could gradually build up immunity without destroying the financial structure on which our lives are based.

Dr Peter Goetzsche is Professor of Clinical Research Design and Analysis at the University of Copenhagen and founder of the Cochrane Medical Collaboration. He has written several books on corruption in the field of medicine and the power of big pharmaceutical companies.

What he says:

Our main problem is that no one will ever get in trouble for measures that are too draconian. They will only get in trouble if they do too little. So, our politicians and those working with public health do much more than they should do.

No such draconian measures were applied during the 2009 influenza pandemic, and they obviously cannot be applied every winter, which is all year round, as it is always winter somewhere. We cannot close down the whole world permanently.

Should it turn out that the epidemic wanes before long, there will be a queue of people wanting to take credit for this. And we can be damned sure draconian measures will be applied again next time. But remember the joke about tigers. “Why do you blow the horn?” “To keep the tigers away.” “But there are no tigers here.” “There you see!”

Over the past couple of weeks, your humble blogger has been quiet.

The reason being, that there was insufficient evidence as to the state of play to make an educated OBSERVATION.

As you dear readers are very well aware of, there was a “good” case that could have been made for the draconian reaction to the Chinese Virus and there was a GOOD case that could have been made that the DRACONIAN REACTION was not OBJECTIVELY REAL.

Remember folks, on this blog we try to discern the ONTOLOGICAL REALITY of the issues we discuss.

So how does this “discernment” work in practice, you might ask dear and loyal reader?

Quite simply as follows: while a good case can be made that the real danger of the Chinese Virus is that it could flood the health care system in a given country, the reality appears to be such that a sizeable number of… let’s call them the “principle actors” don’t seem to be too concerned about… well… flooding the health care system of the given country.

If you dear reader question the EPISTOMOLOGY of the above assertion, please reference this post here:

So why is this important?

Well because it appears that the anti-malaria drug shows signs of being very effective against the Chinese Virus.

So the question then becomes, is the Nevada Democrat Governor mad?

Well, that very well could be, but this is not the base assumption that a rational analysis of the situation would call for.

Therefore, the question becomes: is there any other EVIDENCE that could point us toward which one of the opposing positions could be considered to be closer to the OBJECTIVE REALITY of the situation.

The next critical piece of information comes via the financial markets.

The reason why this information can be seen as veracious is simply that it really affects the greatest number of people. In other words, it does not affect only the roughly 20% of the population that could be susceptible to the Chinese Virus.

Given the above, and looking at the below screen shot, we can see that the leadership in Washington, or at least that part of the leadership that has been… shall we say… exaggerating the impact of the spread of the Chinese Virus among a given countries population, is in fact not too concerned about the ramifications that this spread will have on the financial markets, i.e. on the given populations financial well being. (see here)

Now this is not a “consumptionist” view but rather a… shall we say… an “essentialist” view. In other words, people need to eat (2000 calories per day) and drink (one quart of water per day). And one way in which to deprive the general population of food and drink is to close the country down which would restrict the population from working and earning funds needed to acquire above said “food and drink”.

So now that the table is set… excuse the pun… we go to the next piece of EVIDENCE here:

Furthermore, it is these same parties that stalled the economic relief bill that was passed by the Senate this past weekend, loading it with “features” that have very little to do with… well… providing economic relief to those individuals and families that have no mean with which they can support themselves in the current situation.

Furthermore, the “seriousness” of the situation can be inferred from the following headline and CONTENT here:

Therefore, from the EVIDENCE presented above, it would appear that the more accurate approach to the Chinese Virus is that the DRACONIAN REACTION to the Chinese Virus is not in line with the OBJECTIVELY REALITY, as EVIDENCED by that part of the political class that has been the proponent of the DRACONIAN REACTION.

Now don’t get me wrong, dear and loyal reader. The issue is very serious in that this Chinese Virus is something that we haven’t really seen before. The uniqueness of this situation is that two virus’ (the SAR’s and HIV-1) have been engineered into a manmade virus that did not exist in nature.

Regardless what the “Virologist of Rome” with the intelligence of a Pachamama figurine thinks… (see here)

Yes folks, he really is that stupid…

… and once again: Post-modernism is a rebellion against COMPETENCE!

But I digress…

So summing up the above, what can be said is as follows:

  1. The Chinese Virus is very dangerous, much more dangerous that a common cold or the flu.
  2. The danger lies in the fact that this virus is man-made, therefore we had no way of knowing how it eventually could spread through the general population.
  3. Furthermore, there are no known antidotes, so introducing the Chinese Virus into the general population and allowing it to spread unabated in a given country is not a smart thing to do.

Having said the above however, what we do know about the Chinese Virus is that it does not appear to be the “son of the Black Death” that it has been and still is being billed out to be by certain sectors of our population. Neither does it appear to have the potential to kill 20% of the population.

Furthermore, the reaction of shutting down the entire economy appears to have been an overreaction driven by fear and ignorance…

… not to mention MALICE!

And it is the MALICE part that is really unforgiveable…

… outside of an environment with an ordained priest with jurisdiction, whether ordinary or supplied!

Ending, this humble blogger will republish a Zero Hedge post explaining what the OBJECTIVE REALITY behind the Chinese Virus appears to be… given the state of our OBJECTIVE KNOWLEDGE at present.

Stay safe, don’t be a COVIDIOT, but don’t PANIC!

“We’re going to be fine.”

“We’re Going To Be Fine” – Nobel-Winning Biophysicist Predicts Quicker COVID-19 Recovery

Michael Levitt, a Stanford biophysicist who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2013, has made a bold statement that the end of COVID-19 pandemic could be near and has cited China’s curve flattening to support his hypothesis, reported the Los Angeles Times.

Levitt is now predicting a curve flattening in infections could be around the corner for the US as strict social distancing measures are being implemented across major metro areas.

“What we need is to control the panic,” he said. In the grand scheme, “we’re going to be fine.”

Levitt accurately forecasted the deceleration in confirmed cases and deaths in early February in China. He said the initial infection rate in China’s Hubei province was 30% per day, but on February 7, something changed:

“The number of new infections started to drop linearly and did not stop,” Levitt said. “A week later, the same happened with the number of deaths. This dramatic change in the curve marked the median point and enabled better prediction of when the pandemic will end. Based on that, I concluded that the situation in all of China would improve within two weeks. And, indeed, now there are very few new infection cases.”

Levitt reviewed data from 78 countries that reported more than 50 new confirmed cases of the virus per day and said he notices deceleration in many of these countries. He said he’s not focused on overall cases or deaths but rather on growth rates:

“Numbers are still noisy, but there are clear signs of slowed growth.”

He said in South Korea, confirmed cases are still being reported daily, though, in recent weeks, new cases per day have inched below 200, suggesting the outbreak is slowing.

Levitt said recent trends in confirmed cases in Iran point to a slowdown. He said it suggests the outbreak there “is past the halfway mark.”

Italy is still in an acceleration period, he noted. Cases and deaths have been exponential in the last several weeks. However, 15 days since the countrywide lockdown began, it appears the halfway point could be nearing, as per the chart shown below by Nordea:

Levitt has gone on the record to say that the virus outbreak could disappear from China by the end of March.

He said most individuals are immune to COVID-19 and pointed out that only 20% of the passengers on the Diamond Princess contracted the infection.

Levitt said when countries unite behind a common goal of stamping out the virus, through mass quarantines, social distancing, working from home, closing education systems, limiting businesses from operating, and banning mass gatherings, the infection curve tends to flatten out.

As other researchers are calling for the virus to be sticking around for months, or even years, it appears Levitt is making a bold prediction that the worst could be soon over for many regions of the world.

We must note that the Spanish flu occurred over a series of waves.

When it comes to the US, cases and deaths are exponential at the moment, and as soon as social distancing kicks in, the curve could start flattening. Still, it’s anyone’s guess when that will occur.

As for buying the corona-dip in the stocks, Bill Ackman was heard on Monday as saying, “We are all long, no shorts, you know, ‘betting on the country.

“I built a lot of confidence over the last week that the president and his team are heading in the right direction,” Ackman said, adding that he had no ‘inside knowledge’ of any administrative decision.

Since the controversy over Archbishop Lenga has hit the English speaking world, and since the controversy is based in Poland, your humble blogger has decided to translate a post from the Catholic blog fronda.pl (see here) which provides the background to this incident.

But before we get to the fronda.pl post, CONTEXT is very important.

This blogger follows Poland and the Polish Church partly due to a… shall we call it a commercial interest and partly due to a personal interest, namely as a Catholic of Polish descent.

Having said the above, the reason that the Polish Church as the subject matter of posts doesn’t appear too often on this humble blog is due to several reasons. Among the most important of those is what can be called the Achilles Heel of the Polish Catholic Church which is the fact that it never went through a “de-Nazification” process after the fall of communism.

Now this PHENOMENON of a sullied national Church has been ongoing since 1989.

What appeared to be a comfortable arrangement for the Polish hierarchy in 1989, i.e. forgive and forget, has come back to haunt them time and time again.

Usually the instigators of the blackmail, because that is what the Polish hierarchy is  dealing with, comes at the hands of the domestic political class who draws much of their funding from either the Russians or the Germans. To be precise, that part of the Polish political class that is in essence the soft power assets of the neighboring continental powers.

And just as was the case with Michael Coreleone who famously complained that “just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in”, the same film clip has been replaying itself out over the last 20+ years in the Polish Church.

However, what appears to be different this time is that the current Polish government, a government that is one who is trying to break free of these historical German/Russian influences, has won reelection decisively last year and set off a panic wave among the former ruling elites. These elites are beginning to lose control over the population (and more importantly, the Polish institutions – of which the courts are the most important), are beginning to look at the “structural problems” behind their demise.

And the structural problems that these former elites have identified, just as the Prussians, Russians, communists before them, is the problem of an independent Polish Catholic Church. To this end, these folks, i.e. these former pseudo elites have launched a hybrid WAR on the Catholic Church over the past two election cycles.

When this WAR started, needless to say, the dirty laundry of the Polish Catholic heirarchy was and presently is being hung out for all to see.

The case of Bp. Mering and Archbishop Lenga is just the latest manifestation of this “dirty laundry hanging out” operation and the DIRTY WAR on the Polish Catholic Church.

Keeping this in mind, below is the post from fronda.pl, one of the Catholic news sources that this humble blogger regularly visits on all things Polish Catholic Church.

*****

Bishop Mering in the files of the Institute of National Remembrance as TW “Lucjan”

Most of the files of priests who cooperated with the Fourth Department of the SB (Ed note: “Służba Bezpieczeństwa” is the KGB equivalent during Poland’s communist occupation) were destroyed in 1989-1990. Part of the truth about TW priests (“Tajne Współpracownicy” are the Secret Informants) can be found, however, in the intelligence files of the Polish People’s Republic (Department I). There you can find information not only about agent’s work abroad, but also at home.

Fr. Tadeusz Isakowicz-Zaleski, who has been researching the cooperation of priests with SB for many, says:

– Department I files, due to the destruction of the majority of Department IV files, are the most valuable source of information about clerics cooperating with the security service.

We can read about TW “Lucjan” (pseudonym of Secret Informant) folder:

– Wiesław Mering remained in the operational interest of the IV Department in Gdańsk since May 1975. He was selected as a candidate for recruitment, taking into account the fact that he maintains extensive contacts with priests of the diocese of Chełmno studying at Catholic universities and the academic staff of Catholic universities.

And:

– During this period he (+Mering) provided the service (KGB) with valuable information about the situation in the Chełm diocese and diocese, as well as about the academic staff of the Seminary in Pelplin. On November 9, 1976, the process of acquiring Wiesław Mering by a conscious choice of nickname and willingness to continue meetings and further information on topics of interest to the SB were completed.

The same document indicates that Fr. Mering was not forced to cooperate with the Security Service and signed the commitment voluntarily, but in the circle of interests of the intelligence, Fr. Mering found himself due to a scholarship in France.  So – according to the file – it (his cooperation) was also used during his stay abroad by the Intelligence Service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Polish People’s Republic, although the leading officer wrote that he did not take his statement in writing.

The cooperation with the KGB of Bishop Mering was confirmed by Father Henryk Jankowski, who researched documents about himself in 2006.

Bishop Mering declared then:

– I’ve never signed any cooperation documents. I did not cooperate, but if there is a report signed by me saying that I was harming someone or taking money from the security service, I am at your disposal. (Ed note: It is a common defense of communist era informants that even if they did cooperate, that they “did not harm anyone”.)

In turn, Jan Żaryn from the IPN (Polish institution that houses the communist era archives) believes:

– If someone chooses a nickname, accepts gifts and agrees to secret meetings, there is no doubt that SB considers him as his collaborator

Bishop Mering did not find time to give an interview or a short statement to Rzeczpospolita.

In turn explains Fr. Michał Czajkowski, priests disclosed as being Secret Informants, usually explained that they did not sign anything.

And “undisclosed amount” of smiles!

Greetings in this New Year Anno Domini 2020 dear and loyal readers.

Coming out of the gate in this New Year your humble blogger has OBSERVED a SIGNIFICANT EVENT.

And it has to do with Catholicism…

The SIGNIFICANT EVENT which this blogger is referencing is the news that Nicholas Sandmann, the young man who stood his ground at last year’s March for Life in Washington D.C. in the face a contingent of provocateurs and was later the subject of a vile HATE campaign by the #FAKENEWS legacy media, has settled one of the subsequent law suits.

And that’s not all. The other litigating party is none other than the congenially #FAKENEWS CNN.

Folks, this is YUUUUGE!

The SIGNIFICANCE of this EVENT, from the point of view of this very humble blogger, can be summarized as follows: The  boundary between what constitutes Free Speech and Libel has been reestablished.

So why is this significant, you might ask?

This boundary has always been there… theoretically?

Well, yes…. but…

What has been the case over the last decade or so, is that the US Legal System has started to disconnect from its historical grounding in… let’s call it “facts and evidence based” legal theory.

A good case in point is summarized HERE, in this post from our friend Sundance from his Conservative Treehouse blog.

Getting back to the Nick Sandmann case, what appears to be the case is that CNN, or rather its legal team have decided not to pursue an aggressive and robust defense of their client’s indefensible actions, but rather settle the case out of court.

The inference here is that they don’t think “the time is right” to broach the Constitutional PRECEDENTS of what constitutes Free Speech and what constitutes LIBEL.

Remember folks, words do have OBJECTIVE MEANINGS AND COMMON USAGE in and of themselves. Put it another way, WORDS exist because they designate/denote something that is OBJECTIVELY TRUE, i.e. can be observed by everyone, everywhere and always. And the ultimate reason for why words exist is so that His creation can establish that which is True in order to know Him!

“In principio erat Verbum, et Verbum erat apud Deum, et Deus erat Verbum!”

No matter how much the neo-Marxist post-Modernists may not agree…

Summa summarum, what we see here is a good day for the US legal system, the US Constitution and Western Civilization in general.

What we also are OBSERVING is the beginning of what will most likely be an avalanche of LIBEL actions brought to the courts by other parties who were libeled by the #FAKENEWS media.

Aside, wonder what the increase in indemnity insurance for #FAKENEWS media will be in this post-Sandmann environment?

And while we are on this subject, wonder what the ramifications of a wider reestablishment of a “facts and evidence based” court decision will have on the “child genital mutilation” industry here in the US and Europe? (see HERE)

Anyways, going forwards your humble blogger will be monitoring this situation as it unfolds and pointing these EVENTS out to you dear and loyal readers as they arise.

And now, to the post from Zero Hedge:

Update:

CNN Settles $275M Lawsuit With ‘Punchable’ Teenager Nick Sandmann

CNN settled its $250 million lawsuit with Covington High School Student Nicholas Sandmann for an undisclosed sum on Tuesday.

Sandmann was viciously attacked by left-leaning news outlets over a deceptively edited video clip from the January, 2019 March for Life rally at the Lincoln Memorial, in which the teenager, seen wearing a MAGA hat, appeared to be mocking a Native American man beating a drum (a known political grifter who lied about the incident, and stole valor).

Around a day later, a longer version of the video revealed that Sandmann did absolutely nothing wrong – but not until the media had played judge, jury and executioner of Sandmann’s reputation.

That included CNN‘s Reza Aslan, who asked over Twitter “Have you ever seen a more punchable face than this kid’s?”

“Contrary to its ‘Facts First’ public relations ploy, CNN ignored the facts and put its anti-Trump agenda first in waging a 7-day media campaign of false, vicious attacks against Nicholas, a young boy who was guilty of little more than wearing a souvenir Make America Great Again cap,” Sandmann claimed in a 58-page lawsuit filed last May, according to the Washington Times.

Sandmann’s attorney told Fox News last March that “CNN was probably more vicious in its direct attacks on Nicholas than The Washington Post. And CNN goes into millions of individuals’ homes. It’s broadcast into their homes.”

In total, Sandmann has sought $800 million after also suing the Washington Post and NBC Universal.

Sandmann claims that the Post – which helped publicize a now infamous photo that helped trigger an Internet mob that swiftly outed the teen and demanded he be punished – led the hate campaign against Sandmann – and failed to practice proper journalistic due diligence – “because he was the white, Catholic student wearing a red ‘Make America Great Again’ souvenir cap on a school field trip to the January 18 March for Life in Washington, D.C. when he was unexpectedly and suddenly confronted by Nathan Phillips (‘Phillips’), a known Native American activist, who beat a drum and sang loudly within inches of his face (‘the January 18 incident’).”

Trial dates have not yet been set in those cases.

“This case will be tried not one minute earlier or later than when it is ready,” said Sandmann’s attorney, Lin Wood, who says they also plan to sue the owners of The Enquirer, Gannett, within the next 60 days.

Meanwhile, filmmaker and pundit Mike Cernovich compiled a short list of some of CNN‘s more memorable reporting screwups (via Cernovich.com):

  • Jake Tapper reported that fired FBI director James Comey would testify that he never told Trump he was under investigation. After Comey testified, Tapper’s article was updated to include this disclaimer, “The article and headline have been corrected to reflect that Comey does not directly dispute that Trump was told multiple times he was not under investigation in his prepared testimony released after this story was published.
  • Jim Acosta claimed Trump did not visit Steve Scalise after the tragic mass shooting committed by a far left wing terrorist.
  • CNN had to retract a story about Anthony Scaramucci being under investigation after it was revealed to be fake news.
  • CNN White House Reporter Jeremy Diamond claimed Trump was first President since George H.W. Bush to not take questions at a press conference held in China. Jake Tapper himself RT’ed Diamond. This claim was false.

  • CNN claimed that Trump committed a faux pas during a fish feeding ceremony held in Japan.

  • White House reporter Manu Raju claimed Donald Trump Jr. had advanced knowledge of the Wikileaks release of the Podesta emails. This story was confirmed by two sources, and it was fake news. To this day, Raju refuses to burn the sources who fed him a fake story.

As Christmas Eve approaches, your humble blogger would like to wish all the dear and loyal readers of this blog a peaceful and joyous Christmas Anno Domini 2019.

Haven’t been writing nor posting much recently since it has been quite busy on the work front. The issues that your humble blogger mentioned in earlier posts, that are at the root of the problems still have not been resolved. So here, prayers are still required and requested.

But that is the only bad news that comes to mind.

On the good news front,…lots of good news on what can be called the “child development” front. Turns out that the older Armaticus has a predisposition to playing hockey. So he’s (actually both Armaticii) changed clubs and folks, the weekend travel now is ridiculous. While at the same time, both are still playing soccer on a rather high level for their age groups. So on the family front, the Armaticii have a lot to be thankful for.

So as you dear and loyal reader can see, family time has drastically cut into the free time available for most other activities, which means writing and posting on a regular basis.

But writing the above, doesn’t justify your humble blogger’s absence entirely either. What has given the Deus ex Machina blog the breathing room to not write is that the subject matter written about here has gone main stream over the last year or so.

As has been mentioned in earlier posts, the problems in the Church that have been the mainstay of the subject matter of the Deus blog have been noticed and are written about by such notable Catholic sites like Michael Voris’ Church Militant and presented on Taylor Marshall’s youtube channel.

And then there is Archbishop Vigano going full Trad… Catholic! (see)

And then, then there is the Roman Curia… (see here)

Only God knows what Francis is mad about this time…

… yet it could mean that a Son of Francis pontificate is off the cards. 😉

And speaking of Taylor Marshall, one of the best illustrations of the objectively real FRANCISEFFECT, i.e. the spreading of the RESTORATION is news that at some (at least one) SSPX book stores, Mr. Marshall’s books can now be purchased.

But that’s not all. Recently, the Deus ex Machina’s… let’s call it… shining the disinfecting sunlight on the operations of George Soros is being noticed at the highest levels. Below is a recent post that appeared on the Zero Hedge website detailing the speech that the US Attorney General William Barr has given about…, well…, George Soro’s operations.

So as you can see from the EVIDENCE below,  there are enough people waking up… or as the youth would say – getting RED PILLED and at the highest levels.

As to the RED PILLING in the post-conciliar church, your humble blogger has also noticed a tectonic shift in the attitude of… let’s call it mainstream catholicism. The most heartening news is the number of first Latin Masses that are appearing in this bloggers Twitter Feed.

What this blogger has done is follow any Catholic, catholic or “c”atholic that has been identified on his Twitter feed. And folks, over this Advent season, there has been an explosion of first Latin Masses.

Given the above plus all of the recent scandals that Francis, our very own clown prince of Rome has been dispensing, it would appear that the objective tipping point has been reached. (see here)

As measured by the entries appearing on this humble bloggers Twitter feed!

And just to dot the i and cross the t, here is the definition of what breaching a tipping point entails:

Tipping point: occurs when minority opinion quickly becomes majority opinion. Over time, the minority opinion grows. Once the minority opinion reached 10 percent of the population, the network quickly changes as the minority opinion takes over the original majority opinion.

SCNARC visualization

And the significance of reaching the tipping point is as follows:

“When the number of committed opinion holders is below 10 percent, there is no visible progress in the spread of ideas. It would literally take the amount of time comparable to the age of the universe for this size group to reach the majority,” said SCNARC Director Boleslaw Szymanski, the Claire and Roland Schmitt Distinguished Professor at Rensselaer. “Once that number grows above 10 percent, the idea spreads like flame.”

When taking the above in connection with something Francis has written (or rather was written for him), time is definitly greater than space.

And from the information below and what is written above, time is running out for both Francis and for some of his funding vehicles, such as George Soros.

AG Barr Blasts Soros For Stoking Hatred Of Police

“They have started to win in a number of cities and they have, in my view, not given the proper support to the police.“

That is the warning that Attorney General William Barr has for Americans, as he told Fox News’ Martha MacCallum in a recent interview that liberal billionaire George Soros has been bankrolling radical prosecutor candidates in cities across the country.

“There’s this recent development [where] George Soros has been coming in, in largely Democratic primaries where there has not been much voter turnout and putting in a lot of money to elect people who are not very supportive of law enforcement and don’t view the office as bringing to trial and prosecuting criminals but pursuing other social agendas,” Barr told Martha MacCallum.

Specifically, Barr warned that if the trend continues, it will lead to more violent crime, ading that the process of electing these prosecutors will likely cause law enforcement officers to consider whether the leadership in their municipality “has their back.”

“They can either stop policing or they can move to a jurisdiction more hospitable,” he said.

“We could find ourselves in a position that communities that are not supporting the police may not get the police protection they need.”

The Washington Post recently reported that while two Virginia prosecutorial candidates – funded by Soros’ Justice and Public Safety PAC – have never prosecuted a case in a state court, they beat candidates with more than 60 years of experience between them.

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.
