Michael Voris has just produced the most OBJECTIVELY SIGNIFICANT video that he has produced to date!

In this video, Michael lays out the proper understanding, in the humble opinion of this most humble blogger, of what can be called the missing piece of the wider Restoration puzzle as it pertains to the CONSERVATIVE SOCIAL COMMENTATORS.

A small digression…

Many of my dear and loyal readers have from time to time commented that I take the videos produced by the likes of Stefan Molyneux, Dr. Jordan Peterson and others, and promote them on this humble blog. The essence of the criticism, and it is very small is that I do it “uncritically”. In my defense, I point out that the aim is to “illuminate” a PROCESS and that the material should not be seen as being “proper Magisterial teaching”.

In other words, when speaking about Jordan Peterson, what is of VALUE in his work is the framework that CAN, and many times DOES lead his listeners to not only understand the CORRECTNESS of Christianity as a NATURAL PHENOMENON, but also leads said individuals to that point in that individual’s mental and spiritual development that the Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard termed as the “LEAP OF FAITH”.

Remember folks, it was Aristotle that provided us with the first logical proofs for the existence of God two centuries before the birth of Our Lord. I mention this here to illustrate the distinction between the Natural proofs and divine Revelation, i.e. the Supernatural “proofs”. And it is the Natural proofs and divine Revelation that are the two pillars of the Catholic Faith. Excuse the digression…

But the larger point is that conformity with, say OBJECTIVE MORALITY can be easily atttained through Natural proofs.

Now, Catholicism as a religion has one underlying condition that must be met and that is this: in order to be Catholic, one has to VOLUNTARILY ascend to the FAITH. The reason behind this condition is that if there was no voluntary ascent, there would be no exercise of free will. And since God’s creation could not exercise free will, his nature would be just like any of the other creatures that God has created. In other words, without the ability to exercize free will, man would not be created in God’s image.

Which then brings us to one important observation that needs to be made here. If God created man in His image, i.e. gave him a conscious that allows for the exercise of free will, then man can choose. And what can he choose, you may ask dear and loyal reader? Well, at the highest level of analysis, i.e. the theological, man can choose to do GOOD or not do good (EVIL – i.e. the absence of GOOD). Therefore, given that man has a choice, there has to be a consequence (different ends) for those two choices. And those two consequences are termed HEAVEN and HELL.

Aside, this is why Bishop Barron and “shepherd” of his ilk are so very dangerous for ones spiritual condition. But I digress again…

Which brings us back to the conservative commentators. These individuals who… to use a “spirit of the new springtime” phrase, subsist in TRUTH but do not conform to it in its totality, can’t be forced, or even coerced to ascend to the ONE TRUE FAITH.

Yes? (Free will…)

But even in their present flawed “partial truth” state, they are providing an invaluable service. And that invaluable service is this: through what can be called OBJECTIVE INTELLECTUAL HONESTY, they are using their God given ability to introduce and send forth their listeners into a PROCESS whose ultimate end will lead those individuals to that point in these individuals intellectual and spiritual development that is the “LEAP TO FAITH”. And that Faith, given the individual accepts the entirety of TRUTH, can only be one: Catholicism.

Which brings me to Michael Voris.

When listening to Jordan Peterson’s lecture on post-Modernism, he made the brilliant observation that the post-Modernist ideology is fractionated. In other words, one group might promote 5% of post-Modernism, while another group might promote 15% in their public activities. But when taken as a whole, these groups represent 100% of what is the post-Modernist (Cultural Marxist) ideology.

Well, this understanding can also be applied to the Conservative Social Critics. In this case, Dr. Peterson’s work reflects approximately 99% of Catholicism, while Stefan Molyneux’s only reflects 90%. Ben Shapiro is basically 92% Catholic while Dave Ruben is say at 65%. Aside, these are best guess estimates from our proprietary analytical model, which by the way are to a varying degree confirmed by Michael Voris in the video above.

And now for the missing 1% to 35%.

This is where Michael Voris’ contribution to this discussion is critical to understand. The last piece of the puzzle that would bring all these individuals into full compliance with the NATURAL part of Catholic theology is to understand the nature of MORALITY, specifically that morality is OBJECTIVE in its essence.

In other words, morality just like Truth, good, et al, exists in nature in and of itself. Therefore MORALITY, since it exists in and of itself, must be accepted as is.

What is, that it is!

And not accepting morality “as is”, i.e. as an objective phenomenon has dire consequences. It leads to what Dr. Jordan Peterson terms “tearing the fabric of reality”. In other words, once we abandon the exercise of objective morality, we begin stretching this fabric of realty until tears appear, and the consequences that follow are not GOOD.

And example will follow shortly…

And finally, one more observation about PROCESSES. Just as with objectively good processes, bad processes also have a (il-) logical progression. What appears to be the case is that once an individual departs from the trajectory of objective reality, that individual finds himself in a process that is illogical, i.e. self refuting. In order to stay on this illogical trajectory, this person needs to become even more irrational. The reason being is that ERROR, in order to be sustained, needs to be reinforced with more ERROR.

Here is a good case in point that appeared yesterday and can serve as an example mentioned earlier.

In this video, Dr. Steven Turley explains why the recent comments made by the radical leftist Governor of Virginia were predicted by the Pro-Life Movement decades ago.

Specifically for our case here, the Pro-Life advocates reasoned in the 1970’s that the ERRONEOUS arguments of the death-cult that is the abortion industry would need to become even more radical, just so they could be sustained over time. The logical conclusion of this erroneous process that has materialized at present is that the “right to choose” (agency over “her” body) of a women, which was the original (false) premise behind legalizing abortion in 1973, has now been “transferred” from the women to a third party (DEATH) PANEL made up of “doctors and experts”.

Not only have women lost the “right to choose” (agency over “their” bodies), but now this “right to choose” has been inverted to the point where it now provides the BASIS (rationale) for killing children of those same mothers and against their will.

And finally, if this is allowed to go on, this “right to choose” will eventually be used to terminate the “women” when they are deemed by the DEATH PANELS to be an  “economic burden” on society.  I.e. euthanasia.

We’ve seen just this embedded in the US legal statutes in the ObamaCare legislation. It’s like a ticking bomb that is set to go off and the situation in Virginia and New York State are precedential forerunners…

Demonic…

… bah…

SATANIC…

But not to leave you dear and loyal reader on a low note, this humble blogger is providing you with a screen grab and video from two of the favorite personalities that are referenced on this blog.

In the third video embedded below, a discussion is presented between Dr. Taylor Marshall and Lizzie Reezay from Lizzie Answers about… Catholicsm, Philosophy and the Latin Mass.

Of note, this humble blogger has not yet seen the video so today, we all “live dangerously”…

Have a great weekend…

PS The Armaticus Family is skiing next week, so if there are no postings, don’t worry…

Prof Goes After Covington Kid And “Smiling Face Of Whiteness”

Authored by Celine Ryan via Campus Reform,

An Ivy League professor bashed “the smiling face of Whiteness” in response to the recent controversy involving an interaction between a Native American man and a Catholic teenage supporter of President Donald Trump.

“Whiteness endlessly forgives its own transgressions,” University of Pennsylvania associate professor Ebony Elizabeth Thomaswrote on Sunday about the confrontation between Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann and Native American Nathan Phillips.

“It rarely, if ever, gives those of us it harms and maims and kills time to process our motions [sic].”

Thomas teaches in UPenn’s Graduate School of Education.

“‘You forgive us, right? You have to forgive us! Understanding will make it better! Reconciliation! Diversity! Inclusion!’” she continued, conveying what she suggests to be the attitude of most white people.

According to Thomas, the “smiling face of Whiteness” is one that “always hides a knife behind its back.”

“That knife says this: ‘You must forgive us. You must educate us. Or else.’”

“Usually, that ‘or else’ happens anyway,” the professor adds. “But it will assuredly happen unless you kiss Whiteness’ ring.”

Thomas goes on to claim that she knows “all about Whiteness’ outrageous demands.” She reiterates that “whiteness endlessly forgives its own transgressions.”

“Time’s up for instant forgiveness, for demanding free labor of the walking wounded, and for demanding that those you’ve offended ‘make it right’ so you can feel better before they have time to mourn, grieve…and breathe,” Thomas claims.

“The focus shouldn’t be on how these people can learn from BIPOC [Black & Indigenous People of Color],” she said. “This isn’t a Hollywood movie, and we’re flesh and blood, not magical creatures you get to use and abuse on your journey toward enlightenment.”

“The focus should be on how White folks can do better *among yourselves.*”

Thomas then explains her reasoning for not sharing the highly circulated video of the confrontation between the Native and the Covington schoolboy, noting that “out of respect and solidarity,” she does not wish to reinforce such “visual trauma.”

The tweets came on the same weekend that much of the mainstream media jumped to negative conclusions of the Covington students after seeing a two-minute video clip circulating on social media. What many reporters missed, however, was the key context that was offered in two hours of additional footage. The added video shows Phillips approaching the boys, not the other way around, just before the moment that went viral.  A number of reporters later apologized for jumping to conclusions. At the time of publication, Thomas had yet to do the same. 

Campus Reform reached out to Thomas for comment but did not receive a response in time for publication.

Today we stay focused on the Gilet Jaunes Movement in France and ramifications for the wider European Union. As this humble blogger has mentioned earlier, Manu Macron is the last of the G7 die-hard GLOBALISTS who is holding onto power. The entire hope of the GLOBALISTS (cultural Marxists) rests on his shoulders.

What is also important to understand is that the mechanism which brought about the Gilet Jaunes Movement, which is explained below by Charles Hugh Smith, what he calls the neocolonial-financialization model, is operational in the entire global financial system.

We presently see a variation of this same mechanism, although at an advanced state in the FrancisRepublic of Venezuela. In that FrancisDictatorship, the lenders, i.e. the Chinese are beginning to call in their loans. If the Venezuelans can not come up with the cash, the Chinese will be taking over one or more of Venezuela’s oil industry assets. (see here)

Now for countries in the developed world, the mechanism works differently. No physical assets are taken over, but if they are, they are monetized as is happening in Greece, and the cash flows go to pay off the indebtedness. So this variation of the neocolonial-financialization model, in essence leaves the assets in the hands of the nominal “owner” while siphoning off the cash flows and repatriating them back to the lenders home country.

However, the downstream effects of “foreign owners” is that the profits are repatriated back to the home country of the owners, or more likely to jurisdictions where the marginal tax rates are low. This in essence starves the hosting country of tax revenues. Therefore, these lost tax revenues must be made up, and they are made up by milking the local populations.

Or as they are presently refered to: TAX MULES.

Think Detroit or currently Illinois.

So the TAX MULES are tapped out in Francis and are revolting…

The end result of this version of the flawed system is: FRANCE.

And here are some of the latest pic:

Ok This will be my Thread of the Police brutality of in #France of the #GiletsJaunes protests since November the 17th, this will take me a long time and will be a long thread but i don't care.

— Sotiri Dimpinoudis (@sotiridi) January 15, 2019

So it’s all on the line for the GLOBALISTS, and that includes Francis, the GLOBALIST of Rome. If the Gilet Jaunes can topple Manu Macron and bring about a government that starts to serve the interests of the local population rather than multi-national GLOBALIST interests, it could be the beginning of the great unwind of the New World Order.

And without a NEW WORLD ORDER, there is no need for a ONE WORLD RELIGION.

And if the GLOBALISTS are cut off from their income sources, so is the FrancisPervChurch and the post-conciliar sect that subsists in and has hijacked the leadership of the Holy Roman Catholic Church.

So we will stay on top of this story and pray, do penance…

You get the drift.

The Decline And Fall Of The European Union

Authored by Charles Hugh Smith via OfTwoMinds blog,

This exhaustion of the neocolonial-neofeudal model was inevitable, and as a result, so too is the decline and fall of the European integration/exploitation project.

That a single currency, the euro, would fracture rather than unite Europe was understood long before the euro’s introduction as legal tender on January 1, 2002. The euro, the currency of 19 of the 28 member states of the European Union, is only one of the various institutions tying the member nations of the European union together, but it is the linchpin of the financial integration touted as one of the primary benefits of EU membership.

Skepticism of the benefits of EU membership is rising, as citizens of the member nations are questioning the surrender of national sovereignty with renewed intensity.

The technocrat elite that holds power in the EU is attempting to marginalize critics as populists, nationalists or fascists, overlooking the untidy reality that the actual source of tyranny is arguably the unelected bureaucrats of the EU who have taken on extraordinary powers to strip the citizenry of member states of civil liberties (i.e. the right to dissent) and of meaningful political enfranchisement.

As I have patiently explained since 2012, the underlying structure of the EU is neocolonialism, specifically, neocolonial-financialization. Stripped of artifice, the financial institutions of the EU core have colonized the EU periphery via the euro and the EU and imposed a modernized system of extractive serfdom on the citizenry of the core and periphery alike.

To understand the neocolonial-financialization model, we must revisit the classic model of colonialism. In the old model of Colonialism, the colonizing power conquered or co-opted the Power Elites of the region, and proceeded to exploit the new colony’s resources and labor to enrich the core or center, i.e. the Imperial nation and its ruling elites.

This traditional model of colonialism was forcibly dismantled in the 1940s-1960s. Former colonies established their political independence, a process that diminished the wealth and control of former colonial powers.

In response, global financial powers sought financial control rather than political control. This is the key dynamic of the Neocolonial-Financialization Model(May 24, 2012), which substitutes the economic power of financialization (debt, leverage and speculation) for the raw power of conquest and political control.

The main strategy of financialization is: extend cheap credit to those with limited access to capital. Those with limited access to capital will swallow the bait and willingly agree to onerous conditions.

Then, when the credit expansion reaches levels that cannot be supported, the lenders demand collateral and/or favorable trade and financial concessions.

These tactics have been well-documented in books such as The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism and Confessions of an Economic Hit Man.

But the economic pillaging of former colonies has limits, and as a consequence the global financial powers developed the Neocolonial Model, which turns these same techniques on one’s home region.

Thus Greece and other capital-poor European nations were recognized as the periphery that could be exploited by the core, and the euro was the ideal tool to exploit the economies of nations which could never have generated credit/housing bubbles without the wide-open spigots of cheap credit flooding their economies.

In Neocolonialism, the forces of financialization are used to indenture the local Elites and populace to the financial core: the peripheral “colonials” borrow money to buy the finished goods manufactured in the core economies, enriching the Imperial Elites with A) the profits made selling goods to the debtors B) interest on credit extended to the peripheral colonies to buy the core economies’ goods and “live large”, and C) the transactional skim of financializing peripheral assets such as real estate and State debt.

In essence, the French and German banks colonized Europe’s periphery nations via the financializing euro, which enabled a massive expansion of debt and consumption in the periphery. The banks and exporters of the core extracted enormous profits from the periphery via this expansion of debt and consumption.

The assets and income of the periphery are flowing to the core as interest on the private and sovereign debts that are owed to the core’s money-center private banks.

Note how little of the Greek “bailout” actually went to the citizenry of Greece and how much was interest paid to the financial powers. The core has stripped Greece of collateral and political independence, just as the colonial powers of the 19th century stripped the African and Indo-Asian regions of income, assets and political independence.

This is not just the perfection of neocolonialism but of neofeudalism as well.The peripheral nations of the EU are effectively neocolonial debtors of the core, and the taxpayers of the core nations are now feudal serfs whose labor is devoted to making good on any financialization schemes that go bad.

Neocolonialism benefits both the core’s financial Aristocracy and the periphery’s oligarchies. This is ably demonstrated in the essay Misrule of the Few: How the Oligarchs Ruined Greece.

The EU has finally reached the endgame of the Neocolonial-Financialization Model. There are no more markets to exploit with financialization, no more assets to strip, and the serfs (a.k.a. yellow vests) of the core are tiring of being stripmined in service of the EU kleptocracy.

At this point, the financial Aristocracy has an unsolvable dilemma: writing off defaulted debt also writes off assets and income streams, for every debt is the core’s asset and income stream. When all those phantom assets are recognized as worthless, the system implodes.

This exhaustion of the neocolonial-neofeudal model was inevitable and as a result, so too is the decline and fall of the European integration/exploitation project.

Soros Can Run, But He Can’t Hide In A New RE-TRADITIONALIZED Europe…

Today the focus again will be on the Gilets Jaunes Rebellion in France.

As you dear and Faithful readers know, from reading this blog, the most important developments taking place today, the 11th of January, Anno Domini 2019 with respect to what is being called RE-TRADITIONALIZATION, or what we here refer to on Deus ex Machina blog as the Restoration of ALL things in Christ, are going to happen on the streets of France tomorrow.

So today, this humble blogger will do a 30,000 feet above sea level post to provide you with a clearer understanding of what exactly is at stake.

What is at stake is the entire post-Soviet NEW WORLD ORDER (NWO). This NWO was created by the sole remaining super power in order to make “the world safe for democracy”. Now, this humble blogger does not deny that there were some altruistic elements behind this NWO, however, given that human nature is what it is, this “altruistic” project was hijacked by what can be called SPECIAL INTERESTS.

Now these special interests are not fixed, aside from the fact that they want to RULE. So as we know from Dr. Jordan Peterson, the motivation for the attainment and maintenance of POWER, regardless of the reason for why one wants that POWER, is Marxist at its very core.

So what this means is that the “interests” behind the RULING SPECIAL INTERESTS (RSI) are fluid. If one can identify the BANKING interests as those that dominated the RSI post fall of (economic) Communism, they were co-opted by the new and even bigger money of Silicone Valley and the TECH SECTOR. Now the problem with the BIG TECH is that the money is controlled by young men who have created their own VIRTUAL REALITIES about what “the world should look like” and are using that money to influence their respective government policies in such areas as the climate hoax, gender fluidity, uncontrolled migration, etc.

Yet these RSI are rotten stinking capitalists at heart and don’t really believe in wasting their own hard earned money, with the exception of political elections. Instant gratification appears to be their Achilles heals. So what has happened is that this new BIG TECH money is being used to subsidize the operations of the old RSI’s, i.e. the BIG BANKING and are in fact driving the agenda.

Now, these new RSI’s would not be having such an impact if it was not for an existing structure through which they were able to exact these changes. This GLOBAL STRUCTURE this blog identified in a post titled: FrancisChurch Living On Borrowed Euro Time…

And now to the important part: THE FUNDING!

So who in fact funds this NWO?

Well, actually the PRIVATE FUNDING is only a small, small part of the overall FUNDING. The vast majority of the money actually comes from you and me, i.e. the TAXPAYER. 

What is in fact the case is that organizations which can be labeled as “clearing operations” which organize and coordinate these various NWO “assets” have access to GOVERNMENT FUNDING through their networks of domestic “Charitable” organizations and through their network of INTERNATIONAL Non-Governmental Organization.

We can see this mechanism with the US Catholic Church and their reliance on US Government funding which accounts for half their yearly income. See here.

So back to 30,000 feet.

The NWO, i.e. the GLOBALISTS have suffered some serious blows since the Hungarian  election of the Orban government in 2010. Then came the Law and Justice victory in Poland in the Presidential (President Duda) and Parliamentary (Prime Minister Morawiecki) elections in 2015. Then came BREXIT, which shook the GLOBALIST’S “European project” (more on this later) since it deprived this PROJECT of its second biggest contributor after Germany. And then the coup de grace came with the election of President Trump. The US government under Obama increased the US government debt from $8 trillion to $20 trillion, where a lot of this “printed money” went to support the global CULTURAL MARXIST agenda, via the “pass through” vehicles such as Soros’ Open Society Foundation. And after some small victories along the way, Austria for example, the Italian Parliamentary victory of Matteo Salvini and Luigi Di Maio from the 5 Star Movement occurred in 2017. Now the significance of Matteo Salvini is that he is in fact the force behind the current government. It will be only a matter of time before his League is the largest party in Italy and he is the Prime Minister. He presently is enjoying approval ratings in the 60% level.

Which brings us to the meat of the matter and the European Parliamentary elections that will take place in May of this year.

Now, the EU Parliament is powerless. It can pass laws but it can’t enact them. The real POWER is in the European Commission, a present day “Soviet” POLITBURO that makes the decisions that are in fact approved in the German Chancellery in Berlin.  The EU Commission is made up of individual appointed by the various EU governments. Each government gets two seat on the Commission.

Needless to say, the present Commission which was seated 5 years ago, is made up of government appointees of the GLOBALIST forces that ruled Euroland in 2014. Since then, the following transpired:

1. Angela Merkel became a lame duck due to underperforming in a series of elections and needing the keep the official opposition party (SPD) in her coalition in order to maintain POWER. This has been bad for the SPD since they are seen as co-contributing to the general societal disaster that is plaguing Germany at present,
2. Franscious Hollande was so despised that he did not seek a second term as President of France, instead found the empty suite Manu Macron to replace him. In fact, Hollande needed to create a new political party, En Marche since his leftist Socialist Party would have been unable to get a presidential candidate into the second round runoff.
3. Now Manu Macron’s incompetence and hubris has caught up with him and is being driven from POWER. If he is forced to RESIGN, (which the Deus ex Machina blog has predicted will happen this year), there will not be a head of state in any of the G& that publicly supports the GLOBALIST AGENDA.
4. In Italy, the “young, fresh, soul of Europe” Matteo Renzi lost two disastrously elections. First a referendum and then a general election in 2017. It is this election loss that has created an untenable situation for the GLOBALISTS.

And here is why.

In the upcoming EU Parliamentary elections, if the election was held on the 8th of January of this year, the following would be the case:

What this means is that of the 5 largest parties in the European Parliament, 4 of them (League in Italy, Law&Justice -PiS in Poland, 5Star in Italy and National Front in France) would be ANTI-GLOBALIST parties.

What’s worse, the German CDU/CSU, after their disastrous election results in regional elections in 2017, and with a new party leader Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer (a nominal “c”atholic), are rumored to be trying to engineer a move toward a more Christian values (as opposed to cultural Marxist “values”) orientation, i.e. a shift to a political platform more in line with NATURAL LAW with Christian underpinnings.

Which is where the important stuff is happening…

The governments that will appoint their new commissioners for the new European Council that will be seated after the May 2017 election will be:

1. A Germany that is being force to ditch cultural Marxism.
2. A France that might have a new government (If Macron is forced to RESIGN, new elections will certainly take place)
3. An Italy governed by Matteo Salvini and Luigi Di Maio and strongly anti-cultural Marxist.
4. Poland ruled by the anti-cultural Marxist Law & Justice Party
5. Austria ruled by a center right purportedly anti Leftist coalition. (Don’t trust Kurz – appears to be controlled opposition so European Commission appointment is questionable)
6. Spain with a minority leftist government that will try to hold on until the EU elections. Strong growth in Catholic VOX party which unexpectedly gained 11% of the vote in local elections -Andalucía and will be first national election in which they take part.
7. Hungary with a strong anti-cultural Marxist government.
8. Czech Republic with a conservative government. Definitely anti-Globalist
9. Croatia with center-right government but very good relations with Poland, Hungary and the US, especially Donald Trump.
10. Romania has a leftist (opportunist) ruling government at present but it is very unstable. Hard to say what will appear there.
11. And the rest of the countries are mostly conservative governments with the exception of Malta, Portugal and Greece.

Summa summarum, what we see is a new European Union emerging politically. Whether this new RATIONAL Europe will be able to appoint a majority European Commission is to be seen. What will be in fact the case is that the Commission could be very close to a Conservative RE-TRADITIONALIZING majority.

In addition, it would appear that the European Parliament will be dominated by either economic conservatives or by outright RE-TRADITIONALIZING conservatives. Like it was mentioned earlier, the EU Parliament is a fig leaf, but the appearance of CONSERVATISM will definitely set the tone for the next 5 years.

And that tone, if not outright RE-TRADITIONALIZING movement will look something like this:

Yes, the German-French axis (how fitting) will be replaced by a new POWER STRUCTURE, i.e. one along the Warsaw-Rome axis.

And the smaller countries are getting on board:

Which leads us to the significance of these developments:

Once these countries obtain control of the POWER structures in the EU, the FUNDING channels of the GLOBALIST NWO will come into their sites. Mr. Orban has already driven Soros’ front operations from Hungary. Soros had to shift them to Austria, hence reservation about Herr Kurz.

And once the government funding to the NWO is stopped, we will see a cessation of these anti NATURAL activities from this patholigical sector.

So Soros can run, but he can’t hide.

And finally, these events are leading to a new situation on the Old Continent and should lead to more scenes like this one below appearing on European streets in the not too distant future…

… and this.

So please, please pray for the Yellow Vests!

And please pray fo the President of the United States, the leaders of Christian Europe and most of all, for your families and their salvation!

Quick post.

The above is a must watch.

Now, I don’t agree with Eric Weinstein about the Very Stable Genius President Donald J. Trump. I think President Trump is the best US President EVAH…

I also think that the Trump Presidency is an act of Providence…

Yet, I firmly believe that the best way in which ERROR can be identified and CORRECTED in Anno Domini 2019 is through an exchange in the free market of ideas.

Now that the qualifications are in place, when watching the video, think of Sick, Crooked, Unelectable Hillary and the Democratic Party as a proxy for Francis and the FrancisChurch.

They line up perfectly…

And I will have some more comments in the near future.

UPDATE 13:30 7 January 2019

And then there is this:

Today we interrupt our regularly scheduled program to bring a public service announcement to our loyal and faithful followers.

It has come to the attention of this humble blogger some time ago, that all is not well in the camp of the forces of the Restoration. The cause of these problems are due to what can be termed as “personal issues”. Technically,  what we are dealing with are confirmation biases and normality biases.

In other words, individuals who are engaged in the fight against the neo-Modernist post-conciliar church and or the post-Modernist FrancisChurch (whether they know it of not) appear to have become critical of other individuals who are engaged in the fight against the neo-Modernist post-conciliar church and or the post-Modernist FrancisChurch (whether they know it of not).

Yesterday, this humble blogger came across a great post that explained just this. The title of the post is More Traddie Sniping and appeared on the Unam Sanctam Catholicam blog, (see here) which I have republished for your information below.

The reason why I am brining this matter to your attention is that these “disagreements” are in fact frivolous.

Why are they frivolous you might ask dear and loyal reader?

The reason that they are frivolous is because, as Michael Voris makes quite clear in the video that is embedded above, is that there can only be one Truth. So in fact, we are dealing here with what is known as process.

So given this above  immutable statement of objective reality, it can be inferred that at the end of the process, there can only be ONE, CLEAR, UNITARY RESULT.

If this is the case, and all evidence suggests that it is, then all the individuals who are engaged in the fight against the neo-Modernist post-conciliar church and or the post-Modernist FrancisChurch are in fact engaged in a process that is CONVERGING toward that ONE, IMMUTABLE, CLEAR, UNITARY TRUTH.

Whether all these bloggers know it of not!

And Michael Voris’ video above explains just such a process, a process that he and his ministry have been undergoing.

But the news is better still. This process is also presently observable in the political sub-set of the Visibislium Omnium, et Invisibilium. Below is a short video from Dr. Steve Turley, who is explaining the natural process that is being termed “RE-TRADITIONALISATION” that is taking place in the political and social areas of society.

And if we examine the psychological sub-set of the Visibislium Omnium, then we can also observe the “RE-TRADITIONALISATION” that is emanating from the Jungians… in fact the Piagetians. The figure here is none other than Dr. Jordan Peterson.

Concluding, you see folks, regardless of whether it is Steve Skojac or Vox Cantoris or Ann Barnhardt or Fr. Anthony Cekada or Mundabor or Phil Lawler or Raymond Arroyo or Louie Verrecchio or Taylor Marshall or any of the other bloggers fighting the good fight is “right”, they are only right locally (at any given point in time), but ultimately their respective positions will have to CONVERGE.

And to what exactly will these positions converge to?

They will converge to ontological reality.

And what is the standard for what defines ontological reality?

The answer to this question is: THE UNIVERSAL MAGISTERIUM.

And as we know, the Universal Magisterium defines not only the minimum that a Catholic must believe in order to be saved, but it is also a statement of what constitutes the IDEAL.

And finally, and as you dear and loyal readers know, the IDEAL IS A JUDGE!

Therefore, it will be the UNIVERSAL MAGISTERIUM that will ultimately JUDGE BERGOGLIO.

Just as the Universal Magisterium judged Honorius.

IPSO FACTO!

More Traddie Sniping

There’s a lot of snark and calumny going around on blogs and social media recently with Trads sniping each other. The so-called “circular firing squad” strikes again. I would have assumed that with the liberal coterie in the Church in full ascendancy, traditional Catholics would be forming alliances and finding new unity in a common effort.

Nope. If anything, the opposite seems to have happened. Traditionalist outlets and commentators are descending into mutual accusation and recrimination of each other. The reasons for this are varied, and some are bigger offenders than others. “The LORD will cause you to be defeated before your enemies. You shall go out one way against them and flee seven ways before them” (Deut. 28:25). This curse seems to have befallen us, as we not only flee seven ways but make sure to take pot-shots at our brethren while we do so.

Yes, there are always rationales. “I’m just defending my reputation”; “So-and-so is leading people astray”; “All Catholics have an obligation to speak out against X”; “They started the battle, not me.” And so on.

Personally, I love Rorate Caeli. I love 1P5; I count Steve Skojec as a friend of mine and have always enjoyed my banter with him. I also respect Michael Voris and Church Militant. I love The Remnant. I love Vox Cantoris. I chuckle when I read Mundabor. I love Ryan Grant. I love Fr. Zuhlsdorf. And there’s a whole slew of other traditional blogs, media outlets, and individuals whom I respect and count as allies. I don’t find liking anyone of them precludes me from liking any other, nor does 

Do I agree with them all? Of course not. But that’s okay. We are really in uncharted waters here, and everybody is pursuing the course they think best. Everybody is just trying to make sense of our situation. I’ve taken my fair share of sniping as well; one of the outlets mentioned above once said I was “doing the devil’s work” and unlinked me because I disagreed with them on an extraordinarily minute issue that was entirely prudential. And I myself have doled it out in the past as well.

But I don’t think now is the time for it. Now more than ever we need to set aside petty squabbling; not to say all disagreements are “petty”—a person who is insisting that Francis is not the Roman pontiff is making an extremely serious accusation. But to be honest, most of this sniping is petty. It’s about people preserving their “turf” and maintaining their street-cred as traddie luminaries. I guess a charitable explanation would be that the developments in the Church have everybody on edge and are making us overly sensitive and irritable, like how people get when on a long car ride and someone takes a wrong turn and gets lost and everybody becomes cranky because of the situation.

A less charitable explanation would be that some traditionalist outlets have begun to think of themselves as a “Trad Magisterium”, veritable thought leaders and opinion setters who equate their own positions with orthodoxy itself. I spoke about this some time ago in a post called “No Trad Magisterium” (Feb. 2015), the central thesis of which was that “there is no one website or blog, no organization, no one author, no one order or society, no one publication, no one prelate, no one individual who authoritatively speaks for Catholic traditionalists, and whom to disagree with is to risk ostracism. There is no trad Magisterium.” But if you want to read a more eloquent explanation of this, I recommend the essay “Faithful Catholics and Theological Positions — A Difference Which Must be Overlooked” (Dec. 2014) on Eponymous Flower by guest contributor Victor Clemens Oldendorf.

People have often challenged me publicly in my 10+ years of blogging; often someone with the attitude of “Boniface, I debunked you on this very long post (**includes link**); how will you answer? Debate me!” My response is usually to yawn, congratulate them on such a witty rebuttal, and move on without answering or sometimes even reading the article. I don’t personally care. Perhaps I should care more. Perhaps I’m just a bad blogger. 

Well, whatever. People are gonna do what they’re gonna do. Let’s just not take ourselves too seriously. We ought to always take the Faith seriously while maintaining a certain amount of levity about ourselves.

God bless all my fellow bloggers.

As the revolt of the Yellow Vest spreads to France’s neighboring countries, the French President and self avowed “Roman god Jupiter” has abandoned his energy tax increases.

The significance of this move needs to be understood in terms of the effect, i.e. the loss of an estimated €4 billion in tax revenue. This revenue deficit will create a problem for the French budget which is constrained by various European Union treaties.

Now in times gone by, the French and the Germans didn’t need to worry about European Union wide budgetary constraints since the rules didn’t apply to them. Yet today, with the Nationalist Italian Salvini government in Italy, the French will either be held to the same standard, or the Italians will need to be allowed to break the constraints.

And folks, it can’t be both.

But whatever the outcome, the DEBT DESTRUCTION PROCESS that has been unleashed after the financial crisis of 2008, will surely come to fruition.

And the end will be similar as that experienced by the former Soviet Union, as this humble blogger has been arguing since the inception of this blog. All that is needed presently is the trigger that will ignite the entire mess and from the looks of it, we are getting closer by the day.

Below is a post that appeared on the Zero Hedge website that does a very good job of explaining the SIGNIFICANCE of what we are witnessing in France and its neighboring countries.

The Real Significance Of The French Tax Revolt

Via Alt-Market

Any large and apparently spontaneous activist event can force a measure of change within a system (depending on longevity), but the problem is always how that movement is being directed.  Is it a legitimate grass roots effort, or is there something else at play? 

I am reserving judgement on the “Yellow Jackets” for now, and simply watching.  When they start engaging in public relations regularly, they will present terms, and also probably present their vision of France’s future.  There will also be politicians that attach themselves to the movement if the movement achieves some success, as they seem poised to do.  Then, we will know who is involved, and if the movement is controlled opposition or a real front against centralization. 

Also keep in mind that the globalists may be seeking to give such “populist” movements room to grow, because they plan on collapsing the system anyway and blaming the whole mess on decentralization activists.  I certainly hope this is a win for the people of France, but I would never underestimate the 4th Generation warfare of the establishment.

– Brandon Smith, Founder of Alt-Market.com

This article was written by Peter C. Earle and originally published at AIER.org

The gilets jaunes (Yellow Jacket) anti-tax riots in France escalated over the past weekend, again citing the impact of higher taxes on fossil fuels – and high levels of taxation in general – on everyday life. French citizens, already subject to the highest taxes in the OECD, are being crushed by both new and systematically increasing taxes, and have taken to the streets by the hundreds of thousands in a “citizen’s revolution”. Recommendations to declare a state of emergency have for the time being been tabled.

With no sense of irony whatsoever, in a press conference on Saturday French President Emmanuel Macron stated:

“I will never accept violence.”

Yet violence is the core component of his chosen vocation as a statesman.

Taxation poses as an equitable transaction – goods and services provided by a government in return for a fee (more galling and Orwellian, a “contribution”) from the taxpayer – but the nature of the interaction is obvious to all but the indifferent or determinedly thoughtless. It is not voluntary and does not follow from reason; neither will even the most indefatigable defenders of state appropriation, given the choice (and confidentiality), miss an opportunity to skirt the taxman and retain their property.

The force of violent compulsion is the quintessence of taxation and tax policy, thinly ensconced behind a veil of platitudes regarding social goods and general welfare. In Paris, an oft-repeated phrase among the protesters is that they’re “fed up.” Ambulance drivers have joined the protests, as have both teachers and students in at least 100 schools across France.

Levying taxes on individuals to combat climate change – or for the accomplishment of any social betterment project – is unfailingly undertaken in the name of the sanctity of life. Yet if life is an invaluable state and condition, so too is that of the right of personal property. A life absent the ability to enjoy the products of our toil by utilizing them directly or voluntarily exchanging them with that of others is a life circumscribed, and thus a life forcibly, purposely denigrated in quality.

Media images depicting the tax insurrection are dominated by burning cars, graffiti on the Arc de Triomphe, and clashes with police – despite the fact that the majority of the 136,000 protestors on Saturday were disruptive but peaceful.

Yet none should doubt the long-seething precursor to this conflagration despite the impossibility of capturing winnowed domestic budgets and severe fiscal hardship on film. Furor arising over a life circumscribed by bad luck or adverse conditions is considerable; that which results from unquestionable bureaucratic decrees is ultimately incendiary.

The public reaction to the incremental repression of life’s expression by state coercion at a certain point becomes immediate and visceral. It is playing itself out in the streets of Paris right now.

Consider the larger stakes here. For more than 100 years, European governments have built their invasive states, with the public sector controlling ever more of life. The promise of combining security and prosperity through state enhancement has failed to achieve its promise. And what does the political class propose? More government power, this time in the name of green energy.

At some point, it is too much. Just as the citizens suffering under Soviet rule finally said no more, the people suffering under social-democratic rule might someday do the same. Observers have waited decades to see reforms that might forestall such a thing. Reforms haven’t happened. Now the people are in the streets, setting fires and protesting the police.

And it’s not just France. It’s spreading to Belgium and the Netherlands – the building of a European Spring.

What we see in Paris today might be the end of social democracy as we know it. What comes in its place is what the battle of ideas today is really about.

Quick post today.

For a change, no Dr. Jordan Peterson video.

Instead, your humble blogger provides you dear and loyal reader, with a video with two gentlemen speaking about Dr. Jordan Peterson.

The reason for today’s post is due to something this humble blogger has been noticing lately. Over the last couple of months, I have been noticing comments in my comment box questioning the usefulness of that which Dr. Jordan B Peterson is bringing to what this humble blogger would call the: Proselytization Space.

And as it just so happens, I ran across this great video which I embedded above. The host is known to our dear and loyal readers as the protestant minister. His guest is a young Roman Catholic man who changed his Catholic Faith to Nihilism.

His loss of the Catholic Faith was due to bad catechesis ( the base assumption) which was then turbo-charged by a Jesuit education at Boston College. But it’s worse than that. During his college years, he was formally indoctrinated into the Social Justice sect by the JESUITS!

Needless to say, he must have had a remnant of Catholicism left over in his psyche since he had the good sense to question this “new age” garbage. The questioning left him in a place where a lot of young Catholic men appear to end up since the “spirit of the new springtime” blew through the Catholic Church, i.e. on a bar stool.

He ain’t alone folks…

Yet before he could completely self-destruct, he came across the work of Dr. Peterson. And it is Dr. Peterson that saved him from not only himself, but from the “new atheist” movement likewise.

Above, he tells his story to our protestant preacher.

Please watch… as you are waiting for the stores to open on Black Friday.

UPDATE: 23 November 2018

And then there is this…

Something’s afoot…

This below appeared on the Rorate “the glass is half empty” Caeli blog. See what I mean:

Given the above, and as a Faithful Catholic who remembers the liturgical debasement (1969/1970 is inscribed with indelible ink on this humble bloggers conscience since the tender age of 10), it is worth our while to remind all of our readers that in 1970, there was only ONE Archbishop, ONE Bishop and a handful of seminarians in Fribourg Switzerland who held onto the ONE TRUE FAITH publicly.

In all fairness, there were some other priests (the Independents), who sacrificed everything for the ONE TRUE FAITH. Cześć i Chwała Bohaterom… as the Poles would say. (Glory and Honor to the Heros) 

But there were no other princes…

The debt that we Faithful Catholic have to these above mentioned men of Faith is incalculable!

But anyways, it’s good to see the Fr. Cipolla’s piece on their website (see here), so this humble blogger will re-post…

FOR THE RECORD

“This Evening I saw the Future of the Church: The Future is the Traditional Mass”

by Fr. Richard G. Cipolla

This evening I saw the future, the real Future of the Church, not the one being imagined by the crowd in Rome who mistake the future because of the mindless bureaucracy that thinks it has the Spirit imprisoned in the 1960s under the title of the “spirit of Vatican II.” When the present Pontiff was elected, I wrote an essay called “Back to the Future”, which predicted that the Church would have to relive the sixties but this time with a vengeance. All those prelates and their briefcase carrying followers who went underground during the pontificate of John Paul II would meet and talk with great nostalgia during those dark (for them) years under John Paul II and Benedict XVI. They talked about the “unfinished work” of the Council, that work that had little to do with Council documents but much more to do with their image of the New Church that would be updated to fit the needs and desires of Modern Man.

Poor things. They did not realize that Modern Man died in the sixties and that Post-Modern Man was emerging and was slouching towards Bethlehem. When you live in a sealed container that is the Vatican and its bureaucracy, there is little chance you will be conversant with what is really happening in the world and in the mind and hearts of people. But the 60s crowd are back and with a vengeance. The only 60s program that kept on going during their exile was the program of the moral corruption of the clergy. That continued to grow and flourish. The destruction of the liturgical life of the Church was for a time halted, and it seemed that there might be a possibility of questioning the basis of liturgical reform following the Council and of at least thinking that there was in fact a discontinuity in the liturgical life of the Church that resulted in the emptying out of our churches.

But a bureaucrat cannot possibly conceive of a discontinuity in the life of the Church, for the bureaucrat must believe that whatever happens is by definition the work of the Holy Spirit, and so the only thing that he must do is to rethink and change course according to what he hears and what he is told is the latest manifestation of the Spirit, be it in a synod, or a sermon, or an encyclical, or a press conference, or what is whispered in the hallways and the loggia.

It is the bureaucrats at all levels of the clergy who kept the apparatus alive for fifty years, so that when a Pope resigned, they only had to change the direction in which they faced when they woke up in the morning: from the East to the West. One need not wonder how the double coup of a resignation of a Pope and an election of a 60s bishop to the papacy did not result in confusion and chaos. For when those formerly in power and then underground for fifty years came into their own once again, back to the future, the supporting bureaucracy in all levels of the Church were ready and able to support them in their project of remaking the Church in their own 60s image. And part of the glue holding this together and making it possible was the damnable success of the moral corruption of the clergy at all levels, a corruption that enabled the bureaucracy to control by intimidation based on incriminating knowledge and to advance their agenda unimpeded, except for a few gadfly cardinals and bishops.

So it is precisely while the Synod for Youth is meeting in Rome in quasi-secrecy that I saw the Future this evening. I was invited to sit in choir during a Traditional Solemn Mass in a parish church of my diocese. The celebrant, the pastor of the parish, the deacon and the sub-deacon were each young priests of the diocese. The Mass was celebrated with no frills, no excesses, no sign of aestheticism. The Feast was the Maternity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, instituted by Pius XI to celebrate the anniversary of the Council of Ephesus, at which Mary was proclaimed as Theotokos, the bearer of God, affirming the full divinity of the person of Christ. The music of the Mass was all Gregorian chant, Mass IX. The servers were all young men, some new to this, some quite practiced in serving this Mass. It was the worship of God in its purest form, in its traditional form, a form whose liturgical modesty and reticence invites prayer and therefore worship. The sacred ministers gave themselves over to their roles in the Mass in a naturally self-effacing way. They knew the proper tones for the various chants and sang them well. The sermon was intelligent and truly Catholic. These three men made worship possible by getting themselves out of the way and letting the rite speak for itself.

Many of the young priests in my diocese have learnt the Traditional Roman Mass, aka the Extraordinary Form. They love this Mass in a sober way without any hint of “high church” prancing or panting. They love Christ and his Church. They are loyal to the teaching of the Magisterium. They are priests who are at home in any situation and who enjoy each other’s company. They enjoy the company of both men and women in their parishes. The bureaucrats who run the Church do not know that these priests exist. And that is good. For while the bureaucrats are running around at synods and conferences and trying to put out noxious fires without the water of moral purity and therefore failing every time: these young priests, not only in my diocese, but in most dioceses through the Catholic world, are just learning once again how to worship and are discovering the beauty of worship, and they are teaching this to their flock. And they, and the Traditional Mass they love,— they are the Future of the Church.

Today we return to a “high level” theme since information is appearing about what can be described as the “instability” of governance in certain countries that used to be known as stable “pillars” of Western Civilization.

As my dear and loyal readers already know, we are following the situation of the “silent” coup d’etat that is taking place in Washington D.C. Just as a friendly reminder, the “soft putsch” was brought about by an “unfortunate” situation whereby the wrong person won the 2016 US Presidential election. The source of our information flow is The Conservative Treehouse and its proprietor, one Sundance. (see here)

Over on the other side of the pond, we see a situation on the Old Continent where another “pillar” of post-WWII stability, the Federal “Republic” of Germany is becoming ungovernable also. Germany presently is ruled by what is called a “grand coalition” made of of the legacy “conservative” and legacy “socialist” parties that have ruled this country since the end of the last War. It’s as if political “differences, policies, values, etc.” in Germany don’t matter? Hmmm….. But I digress…

Now the situation in Germany is diametrically opposite to that in the US.

Whereas in the US, an “informal” Deep State, made up of rogue criminal elements embedded in the US government and administration by the Obama “administration” is trying to bring down the current government, over in Germany the Uni-Party government and administration is trying to keep to prop -up Chancellor Merkel in orde to keep her in power for as long as possible. Here is the European side of the story.

So why is the above important to where we Faithful Catholics sit?

Simple.

What we are seeing presently is the disintegration of a “formal” yet not entirely invisible “world order”. A WORLD ORDER whose existence until recently was attributed to “conspiracy theories” and “tin-foil hat” types!

What appears to be the case is that the same “rogue” elements within the US Department of Justice and FBI appear to have formal support from the formal intelligence assets of foreign governments.

Furthermore, it would appear as if these foreign governments assisted the “rogue” elements in the US Obama administration to overthrow a duly and legally elected US President.

So what is the evidence for the above assertion?

Well, it appears that after President Donald Trump ordered the declassification of the Intelligence Communities material used to obtain the FISA Court warrants was met with urgent phone calls from TWO Heads of Governments of counties closely allied with the US. (see more here)

Can’t make the stuff up, folks…

And FrancisChurch and other #FakeReligion sects are playing a leading role in these undertakings:

PS “St. Stephens” is an Episcopal Church that does not appear to formally belong to the Jesuits. Just thought I would mention that. Excuse the digression…

So what does all this mean?

Well, simple.

What we are observing is the disintegration of an “informal” system that is trying to hold its grip on GLOBAL POWER through holding onto the POWER in individual countries.

It would appear as if whether it’s in the US, Germany, the UK, Australia, or for that matter in the Vatican City State, there is an transnational POWER STRUCTURE that is trying to keep itself in… well… POWER.

We will leave off here for today.

Below a post that appeared at The Hill, (via Zero Hedge) written by Mark Penn of all people. The reason why this is significant is that Mr. Penn was Bill Clinton’s pollster from 1995 to 2000.

The reason I am bringing this particular post to your attention is that it gives us all a good idea of how the game is being played.

And we are being played folks, or at least they’re trying…

Donald Trump’s Rosenstein Dilemma

Authored by Mark Penn, op-ed via The Hill,

Damned if you do. Damned if you don’t.

That is the dilemma President Donald Trump faces as he decides whether to fire Rod Rosenstein following revelations that the deputy attorney general allegedly talked about taping the president and rounding up Cabinet officials to invoke the 25th Amendment. 

There were several people present at this meeting in the aftermath of the firing of former FBI Director James Comey. Despite the fact that Rosenstein wrote the key memo trashing Comey for his handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation, he reportedly was angry and uncertain after the president actually did it, using his memo as a justification. 

The prime source for this information appears to be none other than fired FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, who faces investigation by a grand jury and whose memos are being declassified. McCabe appears to be even angrier at the Department of Justice (DOJ) brass who fired and humiliated him just for leaking and lying when he may have far worse on his comrades.

This is the deep state unraveling.

People bristle when I sometimes adopt and use that term: “deep state.” But as an outside observer, watching the unmasking of the actions of one official after another at the FBI, CIA and DOJ, I have come to accept that an unelected group of well-educated, experienced individuals running these departments became inebriated with their own power during the last election campaign and apparently came to believe they were on a mission to stop, defeat or remove President Trump and his associates for crimes they would find or, if necessary, manufacture.

Perhaps Rosenstein was joking when he referenced the 25th Amendment, as another meeting participant reports. But Rosenstein’s statement in response to the news accounts carefully avoids denying having discussed wiring himself or others in some effort to entrap Trump. This cabal is meeting and planning, post-Comey’s firing, despite the fact that Rosenstein himself in his memo to President Trump said Comey was “wrong” and the FBI could not regain lost public trust without a new director who understood his errors. 

It seems Rosenstein also may have believed we needed a new president. Just days into his expanded role and after these conversations, he appointed Robert Mueller as special counsel with a still-secret charter to investigate the Trump campaign and administration; the precipitating act was the very firing he recommended. 

Whether it involved sending missiles to Syria after chemical attacks on civilians, moving the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, or firing Comey, Trump actually has moved ahead and done some of the things that Washington elites complain about but go along with out of some extreme sense of caution and timidness. And those acts are then branded as some kind of lunacy.

Perhaps the true headline item in Bob Woodward’s book, “Fear,” is that Trump was so incensed at the murdering of women and children by Syria’s Bashar Assad that he actually raised the idea of taking out the dictator responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of his own people. Sheer madness? Hardly. President Obama stood idly by as mass murder happened in Syria, and President Clinton’s biggest regret is that he did too little to stop the massacres in Rwanda; he believes 300,000 lives could have been saved had he sent in troops earlier. It’s presidential inaction in the face of madness that has proven most dangerous to the world. Ask the Crimeans. 

I say this not to defend all of the actions of President Trump,  many of which I might disagree with, but to condemn the arrogance of those in the deep state who convinced themselves that they would rescue our country from ourselves. They were on a mission, it turns out, not to save our country but to undo our democracy, and Rosenstein finally has been unmasked as having the attitudes and conflicts we all suspected.

There has been an eerie pattern of events involving Rosenstein. Remember how he became downright testy in front of Congress when asked why he signed the fourth surveillance warrant against Carter Page and whether he even read it. In response to lawful demands for documents as to the origins of the investigation, he responded that he wouldn’t be “extorted” by Congress. And, in another one of his jokes (he appears to have quite a wry sense of humor), he raised turning the tables on Congress by reviewing the emails of members and staff who were there to gather information from the FBI. Just kidding. 

Until now, Rosenstein has escaped real scrutiny despite this series of defiant statements and actions. He managed to make it impossible for the president to step in and remove him, or for Congress to supervise him, claiming he reports to some higher authority that he defines as his commitment to the rule of law. 

And, yet, our laws and our Constitution set up no politically unaccountable officials in the executive or legislative branches of government. It is disappointing to see leaders like Sen. Charles Schumer(D-N.Y.) ignore the actions uncovered here in favor of anything that damages Trump, no matter how egregious the activities of these government officials.

Of course, the president is stuck here. Firing Rosenstein, even if deserved, would be spun like an act of impetuous madness just before the midterms. Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who would have the acceptable power to do so, appears unable or unwilling to act in any bold manner. All Trump can do is get out all the documents and call upon the inspector general to fully investigate these reports.

After the midterms, though, he could instruct the attorney general to appoint — or, perhaps, do so directly himself — a second special prosecutor to investigate the actions of the FBI, CIA and DOJ in the Clinton and Trump investigations. Over 70 percent of Americans in the Harvard/CAPS poll believe such a counsel should be appointed now. If Democrats take over Congress, there will be no way without that appointment to continue investigations that have turned up real malfeasance of the sort by these officials. Democrats have other plans for their investigative powers, if they get them.

Whatever you want to call these well-heeled members of the intelligence community and Justice Department, many of whom now have book and speaking contracts, it is clear they all engaged in a conspiracy to bring down this administration on the basis of unverified information, and to turn the most basic acts of presidential power, like the firing of Comey, into obstruction of justice.

The more information that comes out here, the ever more egregious the actions of all of these officials appear in the light of day.
