THE quaint notion that the intellectual is an enlightened guru leading the masses out of darkness cannot be seriously maintained. In the modern world, the intellectual is often a destroyer. His alienation from the ordinary person grows more and more pronounced. At the root of their estrangement is this: the ordinary person needs something the intellectual doesn't need. He needs reality. Falsehood and fantasies are, for one, expensive. Tell the plumber or the store clerk that reality is a figment of his imagination, a mere product of his thoughts; that there is no transcendent God and no absolute morality; that the past was a series of mistakes and cruel tyranny, and the plumber or store clerk will quickly run up an onerous bill. He can't really afford the divorces, the drugs, the therapists and the purposelessness. The intellectual supported by a foundation, a university, or a publisher, on the other hand, may actually be paid to be irrational. He can afford to abandon common sense. He can afford to entertain utopia. His mental work may also so satisfy that the simple pleasures of stability and routine lose their savor. He doesn't need them to the same extent as the common man and he has more self-control anyway. Ideas, disconnected from reality, are the opiate of intellectuals. The examples of intellectual destroyers are legion. Let me offer just one. Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy, head of the gender clinic of at the Children's Hospital…

FROM ThinkingWest:

Transgender ideology stems from the dualist philosophy of the gnostics. In transgenderism, a person’s feelings and beliefs about their identity reveal their “true” self, while the physical reality of their genitals or hormones can be false. If a person believes themselves to be a female despite having male reproductive organs, the will wins out, not the material reality. Whether the adherents understand or not, they are promoting a dualist interpretation of the cosmos. There is the spiritual “real” (divine) world of the mind which cannot be wrong, and then there is the physical (fallen) world of material, which can be mistaken if it conflicts with the reality created in the mind.

Like its gnostic roots, transgender ideology is in direct opposition to Christian beliefs, which firmly state that mankind was created by God as a union between spirit and body. Though subordinate to the spirit, the body is intrinsic to a person’s identity, hence the importance of the “resurrection of the body” referenced in the Apostle’s Creed. The Creed affirms the goodness of God’s physical creation and rejects the idea that salvation is gnosis or any other merely esoteric transformation or enlightenment.

"TREMBLE, earth, and you who proclaim yourselves as serving Jesus Christ and who, on the inside, only adore yourselves, tremble, for God will hand you over to His enemy because the holy places are in the state of corruption." --- Our Lady of La Salette, 1846   

FROM “Black People and Morality” by Richard Knight:

In the nineteenth century, the explorer Richard Lander wrote that Africans did not appear to have the least affection for their children: “A parent will sell his child for the merest trifle”.[13] Sir William Harris wrote that Africans would sell their children for the sordid love of gain.[14] “So little do they care for their offspring”, wrote John Duncan, “that many offered to sell me any of their sons or daughters as slaves”.[15] All over Africa, according to Mungo Park, parents might sell their children.[16] Strangely enough, Herbert Ward found that the cannibals of the Congo showed more affection for their children than did the non-cannibals.[17] Only among the cannibals did he ever see a father kiss his child.

Black people still show less love for their children than they might do, as seen in the fact that social services departments are always short of suitable Black foster-parents for Black youngsters. The race produces more neglected or mistreated children than it will take. We sometimes hear of cases like that of Victoria Climbié, whose great-aunt took her in to increase the welfare payments she would receive. She ended up torturing the six-year-old to death.

If John Duncan saw little affection between Black parents and their children, he saw no more between Black adults, nor did Herbert Ward ever witness “any display of tenderness betwixt man and wife”.[18] The naturalist Samuel Baker concluded that there was no such thing as love in Africa: “the feeling is not understood”.[19] One rarely sees Black couples holding hands today.

Apologies for the language in this video.  

In America the good that is in the Negro is to be controlled and repressed, but beyond the seas from whence he came, there is hope. In the home of his ancestors he will escape that intensity of competition before which he cannot stand, and be placed in an environment where his competitive inferiority will not inhibit initiative.

—- Ernest Sevier Cox

“DURING the centuries of contact, the white man has looked upon the Negro either as a case of hardened degeneracy or he has gone wild in the other extreme of expecting the Negro to assume equal rank with the Caucasian. Both theories are wrong. Possibly equally so. To deny the Negro the right to develop according to natural laws is unjust; to expect him to develop as a Caucasian is a species of sentimental insanity. The one overlooks that he is human, the other ignores that he is a race. He is human and should not be denied the right to work out his own salvation. He is a fully constituted race and like other races, is possessed of ineradicable race instincts and tendencies, and may work out his salvation along race lines only. This understanding of the Negro and the Negro problem will be at the bottom of any rational dealing with the Negro and the problem he constitutes to civilization.

“In the Ideal Negro State the Negro will develop as a Negro, in accord with his race instincts and capacities; but he may need white guidance in the first stages of his independence. Heretofore the white man has made the Negro work for the white man’s advantage. In the ideal Negro State, the white man, if there be need, may direct the Negro’s work for the Negro’s welfare. Heretofore the white man has received chief profit from the Negro’s labor; under a rational system of developing the Negro the latter alone will profit from his toil. (more…)

"American politics is intentionally fake and personality driven. "We get to talk about Boebert's theater groping, Hunter Biden's cocaine, impeaching Biden, impeaching Trump, removing Kevin McCarthy, etc. "All to distract from the fact that no one in government is actually doing anything the people want. "As long as we are all focusing on personality politics and winning is defined by inflicting pain on the opposing side, we will be distracted from that fact that both sides are complicit in our descent to a miserable third-world country." -- Apolitical  

PATRICK HENRY writes at JMJsite.com:

[THIS] YouTube video has received a lot of views, and a lot of comments, and a number of other people making YouTube videos about “Father” James Altman’s YouTube video. In his video, “Father” Altman listed 20 cases of Francis/Bergoglio preaching heresy – and therefore he could not be the head and Pope of the Catholic Church. Because Bergoglio is not the Pope and not the head of the Catholic Church; it follows that the Conciliar Novus Ordo sect of which Bergoglio is actually the head – is not the Catholic Church. A more serious problem then the single fact that Francis/Jorge Bergoglio is not the Pope, is the fact that the Conciliar Novus Ordo sect is not the Catholic Church! Obviously, the true fact that the Conciliar Novus Ordo sect is not the Catholic Church is nothing new! That truth has been known for decades by hundreds of thousands of people. Bishop Francis Schuckardt told thousands of people that truth back in the 1960s. Years ago, Rev. Peter Scott (a priest of SSPX) stated at least 20 times in just one article that the Conciliar Novus Ordo sect is a new non-Catholic religion. It even seems ironically, jeeringly, oddly, and mockingly that Rev. Peter Scott uses the very documents and decrees of Vatican II that Archbishop Marcel 2 Lefebvre, Bishop Thuc, and the other Vatican II Council Fathers signed and promulgated to bring into existence this new non-Catholic Conciliar church!

Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre told the world in 1976 that the church he helped bring into existence is not the Catholic Church: “This Conciliar church is, therefore, not Catholic. To whatever extent Pope, Bishops, priests, or faithful adhere to this new church, they separate themselves from the Catholic Church.” (more…)

"THE composition of the inward man consisteth in having Almighty God present in his heart; And the composition of the outward man consisteth in doing all things in such sort, as it is seemly for one that is always in the presence of almighty God, and that hath him always before his eyes, as the judge and witness of his whole life." ---- Venerable Louis of Granada, Of Prayer and Meditation  

"IT is granted to few to recognize the true Church amid the darkness of so many schisms and heresies, and to fewer still so to love the Truth which they have seen as to fly to its embrace." ----- St. Robert Bellarmine

"IT HAS been said that when even the women of any society become as debased as the men of that same society, you can rest assured that its days are numbered. Surely America’s days are numbered if one considers how far too many of our women conduct themselves, especially when given a platform. Just look at how they dress. You can’t go to any store or public event without seeing an enormous ham-beast wallowing about attired in the tightest and most revealing clothes imaginable. Jiggles and cellulite for all to see. Tatted sleeves on every arm. Pierced like an African tribesmen, and a foul mouth to boot. She has no sense of shame. No self-awareness. God help the man who’d dare to suggest that she’s not the Greek goddess she imagines herself to be! "There is nothing gracious or even feminine about them. Nothing that could be deemed dignified or classy. They are not soft-spoken nor reasonable — the very qualities that might attract more men to their cause! "This is what our American women have morphed into. This is what ‘woke’ feminism does to the women of any society stupid enough to tolerate it.
