"THE first end I propose in our daily work is to do the will of God; secondly, to do it in the manner He wills it; and thirdly to do it because it is His will." ----- St. Elizabeth Ann Seton
FROM Sandra:
The truth about Fake Mass Shootings and Hoaxes has been available for over a decade. [The year] 2015 was full of researchers with hundreds of channels that exposed these theatrical productions. Researchers would immediately go to YouTube after the Hoax of the week was presented on the mainstream news and fill the comment section with refutation and evidence to contest the lies. In 2017-2018 there were a ton of Fake Shootings and Hoaxes. They really amped up the frequency dramatically. Simultaneously all these channels were removed. Now, the comment section is highly monitored and full of … trolls that support every single fake event.
A FLORIDA nurse who worked in hospitals treating patients diagnosed with COVID says, in this Children's Health Defense interview, that she saw many unnecessary deaths, poor treatment and callousness. She also says she personally knows doctors who made tens of thousands of dollars for pushing the COVID shots.
"A NEVADA judge was attacked Wednesday by a defendant in a felony battery case who leaped over a defense table and the judge's bench, landing atop her and sparking a bloody brawl involving court officials and attorneys, officials and witnesses said. "In a violent scene captured by courtroom video, Clark County District Judge Mary Kay Holthus fell back from her seat against a wall and suffered some injuries but was not hospitalized, courthouse officials said. "A courtroom marshal was also injured as he came to the judge’s aid and was hospitalized for treatment of a bleeding gash on his forehead and a dislocated shoulder, according to the officials and witnesses."

OCCIDENTAL Observer has posted an interesting historical analysis by Marshall Yeats: At time of this writing, the taboo remains strong. Today, no group of people on earth enjoys legal protection of its historical narrative to the extent enjoyed by the Jews. Publicly refusing to accept the claim that six million Jews were systematically executed during World War Two, a significant proportion of them via specially constructed gas chambers, is a criminal offence in more than fifteen European countries. An even stronger legal aspect of the taboo is the growth and spread of ‘hate speech’ legislation, versions of which have been adopted by almost every Western nation. These ‘group libel’ laws protect not only the Jewish historical narrative, but also the contemporary Jewish population, from critique. Moreover, Jews enjoy uniquely positive portrayals in the media, are uniformly and lavishly praised by the political establishment, and enjoy special police protection at many of their institutions. Along with legal intervention from the state, dissent from such patterns of praise is closely monitored and censored by a large number of international Jewish ‘anti-defamation’ bodies, some of which are explicitly Jewish and some of which strategically disguise their Jewish origins, leadership, or funding sources. The taboo can also be observed in the case of the State of Israel, which occupies one of the most incongruent and inexplicable positions in modern politics. Acting in every sense as an ethnostate, Israel nevertheless continues to enjoy the strenuous support…
FROM The European Union Times: The surge in serious sexual crimes in Germany since the onset of the asylum crisis in 2015 has raised alarming concerns, with approximately 1,000 German women now reported to be victims of rape each year by asylum seekers, according to figures from the country’s family ministry. The uncontrolled influx of young men from the third world during the asylum chaos has resulted in an influx of sex offenders into Germany, creating a complex challenge for law enforcement. Read more. In this video, African men describe how they go about raping women in South Africa: In France, they do it too:
PERHAPS if these upstanding young men in Houston had a few hundred thousand in reparations, they wouldn't savagely beat the elderly, as they did with this man in a parking lot. It's all our fault.
A LAWYER analyzes the efforts to exclude Trump from state ballots, riling up conservatives against a "threat to democracy." It's a tempest in a teapot to get your mind off issues that matter.
ROBERT Robbins writes at CatholicEclipsed:
It is no exaggeration to say that video games are the new main medium of entertainment and high art, more so than paintings in museums, theaters, opera or drama works, novels, concert halls, etc. The reason is video games, like Halo, are all those things plus the immersive experience of being a part of the plot. Video games are the cultural repository of art and beauty. (more…)

THE STRANGER
— Rudyard Kipling
The Stranger within my gate,
He may be true or kind,
But he does not talk my talk—
I cannot feel his mind.
I see the face and the eyes and the mouth,
But not the soul behind.
The men of my own stock
They may do ill or well,
But they tell the lies I am wonted to,
They are used to the lies I tell.
And we do not need interpreters
When we go to buy and sell.
The Stranger within my gates,
He may be evil or good,
But I cannot tell what powers control—
What reasons sway his mood;
Nor when the Gods of his far-off land
Shall repossess his blood. (more…)
HAPPY New Year to readers near and far. I wish you contentment, confidence and peace in 2024.
“EVERYTHING is a grace, everything is the direct effect of our Father's love - difficulties, contradictions, humiliations, all the soul's miseries, her burdens, her needs - everything, because through them, she learns humility, realizes her weakness. Everything is a grace because everything is God's gift. Whatever be the character of life or its unexpected events - to the heart that loves, all is well." --- St. Thérèse of Lisieux
Quelle est cette odeur agréable
Traditional French Noel (Lorrain)
[Translation by A. B. Ramsay]
WHENCE is that goodly fragrance flowing,
Stealing our senses all away?
Never the like did come a-blowing,
Shepherds, from flow’ry fields in May.
Whence is that goodly fragrance flowing,
Stealing our senses all away?
What is that light so brilliant breaking
Here in the night across our eyes?
Never so bright the day-star waking
Started to climb the morning skies.
What is that light so brilliant breaking
Here in the night across our eyes? (more…)
Christmas commemorates not just the birth of a divine baby, but the death of little ones — the young children under the age of two killed in Bethlehem by soldiers of King Herod, who feared a royal rival. If the Christmas narrative was the creation of fiction writers would they have included in the romance of Bethlehem this unsettling account of murdered children known so touchingly as the “Holy Innocents?”
There’s an important message in this incident:
“These infant Martyrs represent … what must in its measure befall everyone who draws near to Jesus. Suffering goes out of him, like an atmosphere. The air is charged with the seed of crosses, and the soul is sown all over with them before it is aware. Moreover, the cross is a quick growth and can spring up, and blossom, and bear fruit almost in a night, while from its vivacious root a score of fresh crosses will spring up and cover the soul with the peculiar verdure of Calvary. They that come nearest to our Lord are those who suffer most, and who suffer the most unselfishly,” Fr. Frederick Faber wrote in his great work, Bethlehem (Tan Books, p. 195).
