CHRISTOPHER BOLLYN writes at his site:

To understand why President Trump has launched military strikes against the Assad government of Syria one needs to understand that the master plan for Syria is to break the country up into ethnic statelets (i.e. Balkanize). This is the Zionist (Israeli) Likud plan, known as the Yinon Plan (1982), which calls for destroying the military forces of both Syria and Iraq and then breaking them up. To read more about the Zionist master plan for Syria, see yesterday’s posting:  Why trust Al Qaida terrorists about the gas attack?

“U.S. IS ABETTING INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM”

Does this mean that Donald Trump’s cruise missiles were fired to help the Al Qaida terrorists, the same group he blames for 9/11, who are fighting to overthrow the government of Syria?

Yes, that is exactly what the result of the U.S. military action is. The U.S. is actually waging war against the elected government of Syria, illegally, on behalf of terrorists, which the U.S. designated as terrorists in March 2017! This is a “big mistake” for President Trump (and the U.S.) and proves the veracity of the expression, “The War on Terror is really a War of Terror.” (more…)

DONALD TRUMP started a new war in the Middle East yesterday — exactly one hundred years after the U.S entered World War I and less than three months into his presidency. He launched airstrikes against Syria late in the day, breaking his campaign promise to avoid foreign interventions and to put America first. Reports of an alleged chemical attack by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on Tuesday, an allegation which defies belief, were the cause, Trump said. There was no time for investigation, certainly not for the level of investigation needed before going to war. [See CNN anchor berate Congressman Thomas Massie (R-Kentucky) for saying the perpetrators are not yet known.]

Trump is the neo con-man that some of us have always suspected him of being.

  RON PAUL believes the alleged chemical attack by Assad is another false flag to provoke American aggression against Syria. There is "zero chance," Paul says, that Assad is responsible for the attack. And Trump reverses himself, fully supporting what is obviously "fake news:"   Former UK Ambassador to Syria, Peter Ford, reacts to the alleged attack:

  Reflect then, Christian reader, that our divine Savior is crowned with sharp thorns, to punish on his own head all your sinful deeds, but more especially the wicked thoughts, by which you have offended God, and have defiled his divine image impressed upon your soul. Numerous thorns pierce, and torture his divine head, because we have harbored in our mind many bad thoughts of different kinds. Our thoughts against faith and against hope, our thoughts of presumption, or despair, impious and blasphemous thoughts against God, have produced the longest and sharpest thorns that torment the most holy head of our divine Savior. Our habitual dissipation of mind, our forgetfulness of God's holy presence, our voluntary distractions in prayer, are the reeds with which, like his cruel executioners, we strike and more deeply press his thorny crown. Uncharitable thoughts against our neighbors, rash judgment, envy and jealousy against our fellow Christians, are the cruel thorns that torture our Savior's head. Those frequent thoughts of pride/ambition, vain-glory; that hypocrisy, that habitual disposition to overreach, and deceive our fellow men, so common in human society at the present time, those desires of revenge, sensuality and lust, have produced that terrible thorny bush from which the Crown of Thorns has been formed, that pricks and torment the head of the incarnate Son of God.

JOHN VENNARI, a traditionalist Catholic writer, died yesterday at the age of 59. May he rest in peace. Here is an excerpt from Vennari's book The New Paganism and the War against Life: What is the New Paganism? There have been great men and women in the recent past who have warned in advance against the rise of the godless and anti-human period of history in which we now find ourselves. One of the most keen-eyed warnings came from the renowned Catholic historian Hilaire Belloc, in a magnificent essay he wrote in 1931 called “The New Paganism”. He makes this point: the central aspect of the Old Paganism was deep respect for tradition, and the defining element of the post-Christian paganism is a revolutionary contempt for Tradition. Belloc wrote: “The Old Paganism was profoundly traditional. Indeed it had no roots except in Tradition. Deep reverence for its own past and for the wisdom of its ancestry and the pride therein were the very soul of the Old Paganism; that is why it formed so solid a foundation on which to build the Catholic Church, and that is also why it offered so long a determined resistance to the growth of the Catholic Church. But the New Paganism has for its very essence contempt for tradition and contempt for ancestry. It respects perhaps nothing. But least of all does it respect the spirit of ‘Our Fathers have told us’.”1 Throughout history, our fathers…

  Let him take up his cross, the one that is his. Let this man or this woman, rarely to be found and worth more than the entire world (Prov. 31, 10-31), take up with joy, fervently clasp in his arms and bravely set upon his shoulders this cross that is his own and not that of another; his own cross, the one that My Wisdom designed for him in every detail of number, weight and measurement; his own cross whose four dimensions, its length, breadth, thickness and height (Eph. 3, 18), I very accurately gauged with My own hands; his own cross which all out of love for him I carved from a section of the very Cross I bore on Calvary; his Cross, the grandest of all the gifts I have for My chosen ones on earth; his Cross, made up in its thickness of temporal loss, humiliation, disdain, sorrow, illness and spiritual trial which My Providence will not fail to supply him with every day of his life; his cross, made up in its length of a definite period of days or months when he will have to bear with slander or be helplessly stretched out on a bed of pain, or forced to beg, or else a prey to temptation, dryness, desolation and many another mental anguish; his cross, made up in its breadth of hard and bitter situations stirred up for him by his relatives,…

MARK J. PERRY writes at the American Enterprise Institute:

The American Association of University Women (AAUW) and the National Committee on Pay Equity (NCPE) are major participants in the feminist propaganda machine that mobilizes forces every April and engages in statistical misrepresentations to publicize the annual feminist holiday known as Equal Pay Day. According to the NCPE, Equal Pay Day will fall on Tuesday, April 4 this year, based on a 20% unadjusted difference in median annual earnings for women and men in 2015 when absolutely nothing relevant is controlled for that would explain income differences like hours worked, marital status, number of children, education, occupation, and the number of years of continuous uninterrupted job experience. Therefore, Equal Pay Day on April 4 this year misleadingly represents how far into 2017 a typical woman will allegedly have to continue working to earn the same income that her male counterpart earned last year for doing the exact same job.

In fact, looking closely at statistics, it is clear that men are paid more as a group largely because they tend to work in less safe occupations (incurring a far greater on-the-job fatality and injury rate), work longer hours, take less time off, work in physically more demanding jobs and take fewer jobs with hours convenient to caring for children.

The public face of the “Equal Pay” campaign this year is Facebook CEO Sheryl Sandberg, who shamelessly contradicts herself in her article today in USA Today. She loads the beginning of the piece with misleading statements and then reverses these farther on in the propaganda piece, where most readers will probably have already moved on. She writes:

Today is Equal Pay Day. This means that on average, women in the United States had to work all of 2016 plus this far into 2017 to catch up to what men earned last year.

She later explains that more than half of the differential is due to occupation choices. The average woman does not face the average man in a losing battle for pay. Sandberg never acknowledges that many of these women supposedly struggling to catch up are also supported financially by men.

The Equal Pay campaign has always been based on patently fraudulent premises. But that doesn’t matter, folks! Feminism is not about reality or facts. It’s a form of mass psychosis. Millions of men, we should note, sit around and passively accept these lies and slanders against them. Sandberg writes:

A world where women ran half of our companies and countries and men ran half of our homes would be a better world.

Our companies would be more successful,

our laws more just,

and our children would gain from their fathers’ care as much as they do from their mothers’.

Thanks for the fantasies, Sheryl, you anti-gentile, Commie con artist and control freak! Only a very sick woman — only a loser — gets her kicks from making men and women hate each other. There’s a special circle in hell for people like you. It’s marked: EQUAL PAY. (more…)

LAST WEDNESDAY was the fourth anniversary of the death of traditionalist writer Lawrence Auster. A few friends of his and I met at his grave that day to remember him and pray for his eternal happiness. We enjoyed some counter-cultural conversation afterward in fitting memory of our departed friend, whose wit and wisdom are missed by many.

Here in belated recognition of this anniversary is an excerpt from one of the many excellent entries, this one from February 11, 2009, that Mr. Auster posted at View from the Right on one of his all-time favorite subjects — Darwinism. The philosophical errors of the Darwinian theory, he believed, could never be exhausted:

As they work themselves into a proper celebratory frenzy over the bicentennial of the birth of the man who, they fondly imagine, successfully murdered God and who is thus himself the ultimate god of modernity, the priesthood of the Darwinian cult are engaging in the same doublethink that I have frequently noted before in their periodic boasts of triumph. The doublethink consists in the fact that right in the middle of their assured, oh-so-confident, sweeping-aside-all-doubts declarations of the absolute, unquestionable truth of Darwinism, that truth that is “the bedrock of modern biology,” and indeed of modern civilization itself and of all that is good and decent, that truth that no one but low IQ backwoodsmen and Christian bigots dares deny, the Darwinists quietly but clearly let on that the core and essence of Darwinism—the evolution of new species by means of random genetic mutations and natural selection—has not been proved. Repeat: the Darwinians openly admit that Darwinism has not been proved. Yet such is the hypnotic power of the Darwinian ascendancy over men’s minds that even as the emperor strips himself naked before the populace, no one notices that he is doing this. (more…)

IN THE ARTICLE "Four Years with Francis, Supreme Blasphemer of the Vatican,” the pseudonymous author Miles Christi writes of "Pope" Francis: When it comes to referring to the sayings and the facts of Francis, it is impossible not to find blasphemies scattered everywhere, whatever the subject addressed or the action performed. If I have decided to dedicate an article to some of his numerous blasphemies, it has been with the precise pedagogical purpose of highlighting the most outstanding, so that Christians, becoming aware of the unspeakable malice and impiety of this foolish man, may escape his diabolical schemes and not be seduced by the false gospel which he preaches, nor by the adulterated Christ which he deceitfully presents to the world, shielding himself in the immense prestige and considerable moral authority conferred upon him by his investiture. Christi provides ample evidence that Francis is not even a believing Catholic, let alone a legitimate pope to whom Catholics owe submission.

HENRY MAKOW reviews the movie “Get Out:”

Despite being written and directed by Mad-TV veteran Jordan Peele, “Get Out” is a dreary cliche-ridden horror flick bereft of any humor or satire. It flogs the tired liberal-Jewish theme of white racism and black enslavement that, in this context, is somehow considered edgy and chic.

A READER has informed me that this photo I posted with a brief entry on college women of yesteryear is not a photo of women in college at all.

It is a photo of women in high school, from the 1958 graduating class of Upper Darby High School outside Philadelphia.

Wow, pause for a moment and reflect on this astounding glimpse into the past. Judging by appearances, these are mature women prepared for real life, not children prepared for another phase of extended childhood.

Some of these young women are very beautiful. They have movie star looks. But notice how the ones who have humbler looks are beautified and even ennobled by their dignified dress and charming modesty. Styles of today are, in contrast, especially unkind to women not endowed with great looks. By the way, Upper Darby was not a wealthy town. These are middle-class students. Thanks, feminism! Thanks all you pink-hatted gripe artists! Thanks for destroying the beauty, purpose and nobility of femininity! (more…)

NED HOLSTEIN, founder of the National Parents Organization, writes:

This Washington Post article about “the sea of despair” among working class whites is a variant on “Meteor Threatens Life on Earth: Women Affected Most.”

Both the researchers and the Post (and also NPR) report the relative increase in these deaths by sex, which makes it look as if the burden is shared by both men and women (196 percent increase in men, 115 percent increase in women). But a 115 percent increase in a small number is still a small number. A 196 percent increase in an already large number is a huge number. They need to also publish the ABSOLUTE death rates by sex; these will show that the problem is lopsided, with men affected at a much, much greater level than women.

Obscuring the lopsided gender effect by only reporting percentage increases instead of absolute increases is not an accident; after all, nothing today is important unless it affects women.

I also fear that the researchers who follow up on this will utterly fail to take into account the large effects on dads of being non-custodial parents, forced to pay back-breaking amounts of child support for children they do not get to see. If they did, they would find lots of low-education young and middle aged men with no decent job prospects, AND no prospect of ever being able to pay the child support that is demanded of them by law, NOR any prospect of being allowed to be close to their children. The researchers will neglect this out of habit, because they have never wanted to look at the reality of men’s lives, preferring to look at the politically correct causes. (more…)
