“ST. Mary of Cleophas (First Century) was one of the ‘three Marys’ who stood at the foot of the Cross on Calvary. She was the mother of St. Jude, St. James the Less and St. Simon, Apostles, and of St. Mary Salome, the mother of the Apostles St. John and St. James the Greater.”

“SO tired of hearing that poverty is why black people commit crime.

“There are 32 million more white people living in poverty in the US than black people.

“But blacks commit 60% of the murders.

“Clearly it’s not poverty.”

PRIOR to the Second World War, one could still speak of the more noble word propaganda; before the First World War, it was still possible to speak of public opinion. Today, the manufacturing of opinion is a gigantic industry. This industry revolves around the axiom launched only fifty years ago: “A lie repeated a thousand times ends up being accepted as truth”; and falsehood has become an art of great finesse and flexibility, rid of the gross brutality of the past, embellished by all the seductions of the many modern means of presentation. All the major means of presentation are connected, directly or indirectly, forming a vast network that circles the earth, so that a global campaign to steer minds one way or another is a daily possibility.”

“Franchino Gaffori (or Franchinus Gaffurius) was born in Lodi, Italy in 1451. He was director of music at the Milan cathedral from 1484 until his death in 1522. He was well known in Europe as he published several works on musical theory. His “Practica Musicae” from 1496 was reprinted not less than 6 times and was still in use in the 17th century.’

POSTED at William Makis, MD:

A bombshell study published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, confirms ventilators killed more COVID-19 patients than the virus itself, triggering deadly bacterial pneumonia in ICU wards and vindicating conspiracy theorists who’ve been sounding the alarm for years.

The study, conducted by a team at Northwestern University, analyzed records from 585 ICU patients at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, including 190 with COVID-19, all battling severe pneumonia or respiratory failure. Using cutting-edge machine learning, researchers uncovered a pattern that shatters the official story.

Forget the hyped-up “cytokine storm”—the idea that COVID triggered a fatal inflammatory meltdown. That theory crumbled under scrutiny, with no evidence of multi-organ failure in the patients studied.

Instead, the real killer emerged: ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), a bacterial infection sparked by the very machines meant to save lives.

“THE advent of a Universal Republic, desired by all the worst elements of disorder and awaited by them with confidence, is an idea already ripe for realization. From this Republic, founded on the principles of the absolute equality of men and community of goods, will be banished all national distinctions; the authority of the father over his children will not be recognized, nor that of God over human society. If these ideas are put into practice, an unprecedented reign of terror will inevitably follow. Already, even in our day, a vast portion of Europe is passing through this sad experience and we see that it is sought to extend this state of things to other regions”.

— Pope Benedict XV, Bonum Sane; 1920

THERE’S too much scripting, too much grifting, too much media coverage (crimes like this are typically ignored) and too much bad acting for the Austin Metcalf murder to be real.

They are messing with your minds and enjoying it. The participants in this event are disgusting people all around — the victim, the relatives, the phony perpetrator. All disgusting degenerates. The intent here is not just to direct your energies into highly emotional and futile outlets, but to pull you down and pollute your minds by bringing these lowlifes into your field of vision.

A big part of this  psychological operation is open mockery and distortion of Christian forgiveness, the idea being to make this ethical ideal so exaggerated and so inhuman that people are repelled. (See the video below for a hilarious attempt to ridicule Christian forgiveness.) They want those who are waking up to anti-white hatred to be repelled by Christianity because it is the only true and sure foundation of racial identity and national moral strength. Making whites rally around a degenerate football player flashing devil’s horns and a father more concerned about the murderer of his son than his son is absolutely delicious to these mind rapists.

Of course, most Americans can’t tell the difference anymore between staging and real life. They’ve watched too much fake reality on their big screens. They live in a fake world and sadly will go down with it.

Some good analysis here (not a blanket endorsement):

The father, Jeff Metcalf, conducted 6 interviews with different networks within 48 hours of this hoax. A lot of people have been circulating a short clip of his initial interview, in which he states he forgives the shooter, only hours after this event allegedly occurred. The entirety of Gab has been parroting a theory that the family was visited by the DOJ’s “Community Relations Services” and that they were threatened or bribed into making such idiotic statements. That is incorrect; they are merely crisis actors following a script.

Immediate public forgiveness of the patsy in a fake event has been seen many times before, for example in the Fake Charleston Church Shooting in 2015. In that hoax they swapped races and black crisis actors lined up to forgive Dylann Roof directly after the “shooting.” Also, a couple of black crisis actors from that event, when interviewed by the BBC, stated that “their hearts were filled with nothing but love,” only a day after their mother was supposedly killed by “White supremacist” Dylann Roof.

“HOW many times have important people come to me and said: ‘You are absolutely right, I have studied the question for so many years, I have investigated the subject. Continue, denounce the danger. But, in my case, you understand, I can do nothing because I have a business.’ One feared being attacked, defamed; another feared losing votes; another was afraid to lose his Jewish suppliers; yet another his Jewish customers; and another to be squeezed financially. Others, those trembling rabbits who claim the title of intellectuals, feared being taken for anti-Semites, not quite ‘proper people’. All these fainthearted shepherds admit the danger of the wolf, but they fear him even more than the sheep do that they are supposed to defend. Each has his particular fear and all walk in fear; above all, the fear of losing money. Read More »

REALLY, these gals need to just go hire nannies and get off the air so they can perform the drudgery of well-paid, political puppets, drudgery which they sought out themselves and which is so much less important, so much more boring, so much less rewarding in the long run than being mothers (especially mothers of many children, even more so mothers of children who are holy and good), homemakers, loyal wives and the feminine builders of civilization.

These Marxist magpies with their expensive make-up and hairdos make the “old, white men” of the past look better every, single day — with the shameful exception of those male lawmakers who passed the 19th amendment, many of whom, to be fair, were threatened by whiney suffragettes with public exposure of their personal sins.

They left us the living hell of an overwhelming increase of women in politics. They left us a catastrophic collapse in character and decency caused by women exiting the home en masse. They left us the end of civilization itself, once vigilantly guarded by those feminine builders, so hidden and so beloved. Read More »

“WE must accustom ourselves to the light which streams from that day on those who contemplate it in the spirit of faith. That light will change our whole lives, it will give us new conceptions concerning God, and ourselves, and the future for which we are in preparation. It will make us see beforehand, in some measure, how great and beautiful and tender and merciful are the dealings of God with us, how great He is in His justice and in His provisions for His children. It will make us see how rich we are already in the abundance of the means of grace and salvation by which we are surrounded. It will make us understand how intense must be that happiness which is in preparation for the children of God, how glorious that existence into which we shall wake up, to exercise therein for ever the faculties of that new life, of which we shall have the first taste and use in that great day of account.”

— Henry James Coleridge, The Return of the King: Discourses on the Latter Days (1883)

O GOD, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, give me the grace to detest my sins as Thou dost detest them. Make me see that my sins and imperfections offend Thee, that they keep me from striving for perfection, that they are the cause of unhappiness to myself and to others. Fill my heart with sorrow for sin, so that I may never sin again.

O Holy Spirit, soften my heart, that I may detest my sins as I will on judgment day, which is so terrible even for the innocent soul.

O Mary, Mother of God, and my mother pray for a poor sinner who places all his confidence in thee. St. Joseph, listen to my prayer. All ye Saints of Paradise, help me to detest my sins and imperfections.

[T]HE history of His Passion will reveal to us many sad secrets of the human heart and its perverse inclinations; for what happened in Jerusalem happens also in every sinner’s heart. His heart, according to the saying of St. Paul, is a Calvary, where Jesus is crucified. There is the same ingratitude, the same blindness, the same wild madness, with this difference: that the sinner who is enlightened by faith, knows Him whom he crucifies; whereas the Jews, as the same apostle tells us, knew not the Lord of glory.”

— Dom Prosper Guéranger

“DURING the preceding four weeks, we have noticed how the malice of Jesus’ enemies has been gradually increasing. His very presence irritates them; and it is evident that any little circumstance will suffice to bring the deep and long-nurtured hatred to a head. The kind and gentle manners of Jesus are drawing to Him all hearts that are simple and upright; at the same time, the humble life He leads, and the stern purity of His doctrines, are perpetual sources of vexation and anger, both to the proud Jew that looks forward to the Messias being a mighty conqueror, and to the pharisee, who corrupts the Law of God, that he may make it the instrument of his own base passions.

FROM The Return of the King: Discourses on the Latter Days, by Henry James Coleridge, 1894:

The Christian loves his country for the sake of God’s ordinance, and for the many benefits which he receives from its laws and its protection. He loves it for the sake of conscience, and therefore not more than his conscience. He knows that he must obey God rather than man. He knows that he will lose his soul if he makes his patriotism an excuse for hatred against his fellow-men, for violence, for revengefulness, and other bad passions. He knows that he is a citizen of a higher and nobler unity, the Kingdom of God in this world and in the next. He is a Christian first, and after that, and in harmony with the duties and the charity which that name implies, he is an Englishman or an Irishman or a Frenchman.

The Pagan knew none of these qualifications to his love for his country. His country or his city was to him a divinity, it was the highest unity and polity that he knew. Its interests overrode his conscience, its commands justified sin. Read More »
