ACT OF CONSECRATION OF  THE HUMAN RACE TO THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS 

Most sweet Jesus, Redeemer of the human race, look down upon us humbly prostrate before Thine Altar. We are Thine, and Thine we wish to be; but to be more surely united to Thee, behold, each one of us this day freely dedicates himself to Thy Most Sacred Heart. Many, indeed, have never known Thee; many, too, despising Thy precepts have rejected Thee. Have mercy on them all, most merciful Jesus, and draw them to Thy Sacred Heart. Be Thou King, O Lord, not only of the faithful who have never forsaken Thee, but also of the prodigal sons who have abandoned Thee; grant that they may quickly return to their Father’s house, lest they perish of wretchedness and hunger. Be Thou King of those whom heresy holds in error or discord keeps aloof; call them back to the harbor of truth and the unity of faith, so that soon there may be but one fold and one Shepherd.

Be Thou King of all those who even now sit in the shadow of idolatry or Islam, and refuse not Thou to bring them into the light of Thy kingdom. Look, finally, with eyes of pity upon the children of that race, which was for so long a time Thy chosen people: and let Thy Blood, which was once invoked upon them in vengeance, now descend upon them also in a cleansing flood of redemption and eternal life. Grant, O Lord, to Thy Church assurance of freedom and immunity from harm; unto all nations give an ordered tranquillity; bring it to pass that from pole to pole the earth may resound with one cry: Praise to the divine Heart that wrought our salvation; to It be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Today is the Feast of the Sacred Heart

O Heart of love, I put all my trust in Thee; for I fear all things from my own weakness, but I hope for all things from Thy goodness.

—St. Margaret Mary Alacoque

GRAPHIC artists with creepy rapidity produced enough expensive-looking Covid propaganda posters, or agitprop, this spring, to cover the actual and virtual worlds, including billboards, transportation kiosks, and Internet ad spaces, with revolutionary imagery and slogans evoking collective strength amid the trials of house arrest.

I draw your attention to one in particular: the supposedly stirring Covid poster above by Shepard Fairey, the artist who made the famous Obama ‘Hope’ poster and who is, you might say, America’s foremost Communist artist. There is no question that Mr. Shepard, I mean Mr. Fairey, brings great talent to his work. He’s accomplished and his mind, apparently undisturbed by the extremely violent and oppressive legacy of his idol, is stuffed full of Marxist clichés. Among his many works is this poster promoting Proposition 8 in California with the Marxist raised fist and rays of the rising sun, just in case you didn’t know that “marriage equality” stands for total revolution.

Fairey’s Covid poster was commissioned by the extremely well-funded graphic arts political propaganda organization, Amplifier.  According to Amplifier, also promoting “artwork” calling for the defunding of the police, the organization was working directly with government agencies on Covid art. Fairey informs we the little people:

In response to COVID-19, Amplifier launched an emergency campaign with top art curators and public-health advisors from around the world looking for public health and safety messages that can help flatten the curve through education and symbols that help promote mental health, well-being, and social change work during these stressful times.

With all of the stresses coronavirus puts on healthcare workers, public servants, and the public psyche in mind, I created this art piece, “Angel of Hope and Strength.” This piece was created to celebrate the courage of healthcare workers specifically, and generally symbolize the spirit of hope, strength, compassion, and resilience that we can all find in ourselves and share collectively. It’s a tough time even for tough people, but we will all fare better if we summon the better angels of our nature.

Got it? Covid — a virus — is about social change, that chilling euphemism for social destruction.

At the request of Rhode Island governor Gina Raimondo, one of the more aggressive Covid shysters, Fairey, a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, offered the poster to the state and titled it, “Rhode Island Angel of Hope.” Sick, yet? The poster depicts a “Rosie the Riveter” nurse lifting high the torch of hope against the virus. Fairey created another poster featuring a nurse (of ambiguous nationality), released when nurses in many places were being furloughed because hospitals and clinics were empty of everyone but the few with Covid.

He promoted it on May 1, which as he noted is the Communist International Worker’s Day:

The Valor & Grace Nurse print represents one of the many healthcare workers whose selfless acts of compassion and service are always meaningful, but at this moment are especially heroic. I’m inspired to glorify those who don’t seek glory, but rather to serve humanity when it is most challenged. I want the portrait to emanate the comforting warmth and empathy healthcare workers provide in the midst of anxiety and crisis.

This poster emanates as much warmth as Chairman Mao. I have to admit though that it is much warmer than a recent Chinese image of a nurse fighting Covid.

“Soviet Realism” was known for just the kind of schmaltz-y idealization of the working man that Fairey has produced. The “working man” was glorified while powerful cliques were ripping him off and making sure he would become an indentured servant of the state for life, standing in line for his basic necessities (sound familiar?) and getting only what was deemed “essential” by the state. The working man was glorified while he became the pawn of the mercenary and powerful.

The Russian aristocracy, the middle classes, the intellectual elite, the landed peasantry, and those workers who could be regarded as the elite of the working class, were all executed. The independent landed peasantry were robbed of their lands and deported to Siberia. Individual and independent smallholdings were replaced by the kolkhoz system, and the “liberated” proletarians were enlisted in the works’ divisions of the factories, where they had no leaders any longer but lords and masters only.

I’m not sure what ordinary people who have seen Tik Tok videos of nurses dancing make of these glorious heroes. Does it occur to them that American nurses don’t usually wear Lenin caps, favored by both Bolsheviks and the Chinese Red Army?

The right-arm salute that we see in the first Covid poster, in addition to the raised fist, is also a familiar symbol of Communist collective strength: Read More »

THIS INTERVIEW with Russian retired military intelligence commander Vladimir Kvachkov was made on March 25, 2020 and so some details are dated. The substance of the interview and his main points are as relevant as ever.

(Thanks, Fitzpatrick Informer)

THIS 2016 article by James Simpson offers an important history of Black Lives Matter, looking at its extensive funding and connections to major Communist organizations, including the Freedom Road Socialist Organization, which uses cases such as Trayvon Martin and George Floyd as pretexts for insurrection in the streets and total revolution. From the piece:

The Black Lives Matter movement (BLM) casts itself as a spontaneous uprising born of inner city frustration, but is, in fact, the latest and most dangerous face of a web of well-funded communist/socialist organizations that have been agitating against America for decades. Its agitation has provoked police killings and other violence, lawlessness and unrest in minority communities throughout the U.S. If allowed to continue, that agitation could devolve into anarchy and civil war. The BLM crowd appears to be spoiling for just such an outcome.

Nevertheless, BLM appears to be exercising considerable leverage over the Democratic Party, in part by pressuring and intimidating Democratic candidates such as Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders (VT) into embracing their cause. The movement could also assist President Obama’s exploitation of racial divisions in society beyond his final term in office.

This report examines in detail, for the first time, how communist groups have manipulated the cause of Black Lives Matter, and how money from liberal foundations has made it all possible.

THIS IS A TEST. It’s not quite an IQ test. It’s a test of your fundamental ability to discern reality.

Here we go.

Please view this interview of George Floyd’s supposed second grade teacher talking about an essay he allegedly wrote about wanting to be a Supreme Court Justice someday. Please notice that she does not call Floyd by his real name, but refers to him as “Perry.” Please also note that at several points she appears to be looking downward and reading from a script. Please ask yourself, forgetting the improbability of little George even knowing what a Supreme Court justice is let alone wanting to be one and the sad irony that he did not become a judge but actually became a convict in jail for, among other things, violently assaulting a pregnant woman, how this sweet and innocent teacher, so sweetly untroubled by the criminal past of her now famous student, even came to the attention of the bigwigs at CNN, who are not just sitting around waiting for retired elementary school teachers to call with their interesting little stories.

If after viewing this video by the propaganda outlet CNN, you are emotionally touched or still trust the official version of Floyd’s death, you should distrust your own grasp of reality and basic judgement. You have flunked this test. You should exercise caution in ordinary activities, especially if you are a “conservative” blogger supposedly dedicated to the truth or a Christian who believes it is impolite, unpatriotic or literally insane to question the veracity of the government or the media even though these institutions are explicitly committed to burying everything you hold dear.

I would also like to sell you my house. It’s going for $5 million and is a bargain. Read More »

IT’S INTERESTING that many Jews passionately support — and provide a great deal of the funding for — Black Lives Matter.

It’s interesting because Jews never organized in this way to oppose the slavery of Africans in America. And in fact, many Jews — a much higher percentage than among white Christians — were in the business of selling slaves and owned slaves themselves. Gee, even comedian Larry David’s great-great grandfather, Henry Bernstein, was a slave owner. Winter Watch reports on his history as revealed in a 2017 PBS documentary.

Most of the abolitionists were professed Christians. Many Jews supported the Confederacy — and yet don’t hold your breath waiting for them to issue public apologies.

Rabbi David Einhorn was, according to WW, the sole rabbi who spoke out against slavery and he found little support from his Baltimore congregation in 1861:

Of the moral condition: There are enough churches, synagogues and temples, but there is very little religion, little morality … here [among the Jews]. Everything is empty, everything is glimmer … Here, too, rules the golden eagle rather than the … Here, too, all feelings of the heart and dreams are concentrated only on acquiring [things] … There is only one thought: to make as much as possible. [Fein, Baltimore Jews]

More from WW:

The American and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society in their report of 1853 expressed their frustration. Excerpts from the report state:

The Jews of the United States have never taken any steps whatever with regard to the slavery question. As citizens, they deem it their policy to have every one choose which ever side he may deem best to promote his own interests and the welfare of his country. They [142] have no organization of an ecclesiastical body to represent their general views; no General Assembly, or its equivalent. The American Jews have two newspapers, but they do not interfere in any discussion which is not material to their religion. It cannot be said that the Jews have formed any denominational opinion on the subject of American slavery… The objects of so much mean prejudice and unrighteous oppression as the Jews have been for ages, surely they, it would seem, more than any other denomination, ought to be the enemies of caste, and friends of universal freedom. [Louis Ruchames, “Abolitionists and the Jews,” PAJHS, vol. 42 (1952), pp. 153-54]

Even the Jewish scholars can find but a few sentences of Jewish protest over the plight of the Black slave. It is now clear, writes Dr. Marcus, “that most antebellum Jews, those in the North as well as in the South, cared little about the moral issues of human bondage.

“Jews not only accepted this doctrine, Dr. Korn admits, but “some of them helped to formulate and circulate it …

Those Jews who stood against the institution were scorned and rebuked — most harshly by their own brethren in the synagogue. Even the anti-slavery Jews, opposed the spread of slavery not out of sympathy for the condition of Blacks, but because it was a threat to their jobs. [Robert Korn, “Jews and Negro Slavery,” p .215]

More information about the Jewish role in the African slave trade is available in this lecture by the late Wellesley College Professor Tony Martin. The actual lecture starts at minute 10:00. It is a measured, dispassionate assessment of the Jewish role in the slave trade. Martin faced intense, unremitting persecution, mostly from Jews, for his academic research, persecution which he wrote about, and all his lectures are banned on Youtube. He is one of thousands of inquiring intellectuals whose lives have been upended, their careers sometimes permanently undermined or their liberty entirely lost in jail, by Jewish bullies. He died unexpectedly at the age of 70 in Trinidad, where he was born.

HERE IS an interview I missed when it came out in April. I hope this smart nurse has since woken up about Trump. On the subject of Covid, she observes what many others have observed.

I also hope all readers are keeping a social distance “in these difficult times” from those who are tragically afflicted with Coronaphobia.

Be kind, gentle, observe your basic social obligations, pray for those who have caught this mental virus, but keep your distance. There is nothing you can do for Coronaphobes. Having surrendered themselves to “lying wonders,” they are mentally unbalanced and in some cases seriously deranged, making them a potential threat to your own mental peace. It is futile to reason with powerful delusions. Occasional acts of kindness to those afflicted with this mental virus are important but so is detachment. Practice social distancing. This virus, which lasts for months and possibly years, is highly contagious!! There will be second waves, third waves, fourth waves, and so on because professional liars have only just begun to enforce the changes that are the real goal of this propagandized event.

A READER writes:

I was almost physically handled at Whole Foods today when I went to shop without a mask. They had this big guy at the door who got right in my face. Then the manager called security; that’s when I took out my order and had him read the exemption, and he let me shop.

I told him I’ve spent thousands of dollars at that store, and how dare he treat me like a criminal. I got a tongue-lashing from a customer too. He had a heart problem. I thanked him for wearing a mask for me. Read More »

Thomas Hutchinson, Portrait by Edward Truman

[Reposted from July, 2013]

APROPOS of the discussion in this entry about the American Revolution and the motives of the Founders, here is the long rebuttal to the Declaration of Independence written in 1776 by deposed Massachusetts Governor Thomas Hutchinson. The 32-page letter was published anonymously at the time and was addressed to British Prime Minister Lord Frederick North. Hutchinson, whose Boston house was ransacked by a mob in 1765, called the Declaration’s complaints against the Empire “a list of imaginary grievances.” He writes in closing:

They have, my Lord, in their late address to the people of Great Britain, fully avowed these principles of Independence, by declaring they will pay no obedience to the laws of the Supreme Legislature; they have also pretended, that these laws were the mandates of edicts of the Ministers, not the acts of a constitutional legislative power, and have endeavoured to persuade such as they called their British Brethren, to justify the Rebellion begun in America; and from thence they expected a general convulsion in the Kingdom, and that measures to compel a submission would in this way be obstructed. These expectations failing, after they had gone too far in acts of Rebellion to hope for impunity, they were under necessity of a separation, and of involving themselves, and all over whom they had usurped authority, in the distresses and horrors of war against that power from which they revolted, and against all who continued in their subjection and fidelity to it.

Gratitude, I am sensible, is seldom to be found in a community, but so sudden a revolt from the rest of the Empire, which had incurred so immense a debt, and with which it remains burdened, for the protection and defence of the Colonies, and at their most importunate request, is an instance of ingratitude no where to be paralleled.

Suffer me, my Lord, before I close this Letter, to observe, that though the professed reason for publishing the Declaration was a decent respect to the opinions of mankind, yet the real design was to reconcile the people of America to that Independence, which always before, they had been made to believe was not [32] intended. This design has too well succeeded. The people have not observed the fallacy in reasoning from the whole to part; nor the absurdity of making the governed to be governors. From a disposition to receive willingly complaints against Rulers, facts misrepresented have passed without examining. Discerning men have concealed their sentiments, because under the present free government in America, no man may, by writing or speaking, contradict any part of this Declaration, without being deemed an enemy to his country, and exposed to the rage and fury of the populace.

BLACK nationalist Marcus Garvey would not be a fan of Antifa, Black Lives Matter and George Floyd agitators, all of which are motivated by malice, envy, egotism and greed. For timely thoughts on his work, see here and here.

Racial nationalism is not enough though. No race can lift itself up without religion. Religion is the school of virtue. And human beings are not capable of virtue on their own efforts alone.

Pope Pius XI celebrating the Feast of Corpus Christi in Rome

FOR THOSE Catholics who aspire, despite their many and obvious failings, to be simple, direct and docile in their faith and who, through the unmerited grace of God, the use of reason and this effort at total submission, realize that the papal chair is currently vacant and no true pope sits in Rome, the words of the French monk Dom Prosper Guéranger relating to today’s Feast of Corpus Christi, which celebrates the true and miraculous Presence of Christ in the Sacrament of the Eucharist, a belief which modern materialists and pantheists, like their forerunners in ancient times, find barbaric and repugnant, may serve as a stern warning about the possibility of obtaining the Eucharist at this time.

Aspiring to be simple and submissive despite my many failings and sins, I consider Guéranger’s words on the indispensable bond between the Vicar of Christ and the Eucharist cause for grave doubt about the Traditionalist Chapels which rightly disavow the false pope in Rome while still dispensing what they claim to be the lawful and valid Eucharist. Where there is doubt, we must not act.

The fact that these chapels are not united in their beliefs, especially as to who should receive and who can lawfully consecrate the Blessed Sacrament, is another cause for grave doubt. Catholics are expected to make gruelingly difficult decisions on jurisdictional matters before they can approach the altar at some of these chapels. The faith is not enough; one must be a genius in ecclesiastical law and spend hours poring through reams of documents about the psychological status of certain deceased bishops to know what is right.

Then there are the rogue “independent” chapels that simply take one and all, as if there ever was a thing called “independence” in the Catholic Church. As long as you like the look of Traditional Catholicism, you’re in. Appearances count most. All this smacks of Protestant disunity, which leads inevitably to two very unfortunate and opposing calamities: fanaticism and indifference.

As the prophetic Guéranger put it in the nineteenth century, “Christ in his Sacrament, and Christ in his Vicar, is in reality but the one same Rock that bears the building which is erected upon it; the one sole Head, visible in his representative, his Vicar, and invisible in his own substance, in the Sacrament.”

I recommend Guéranger’s The Liturgical Year, Volume X, “Tuesday after Trinity Sunday” reading in full. Here are some pertinent excerpts: Read More »

SING, my tongue, the Savior’s glory, Of His flesh the mystery sing; Of His Blood, all price exceeding, Shed by our immortal King, Destined, for the world’s redemption, From a noble womb to spring.

Of a pure and spotless Virgin Born for us on earth below, He, as Man, with man conversing, Stayed, the seeds of truth to sow; Then He closed in solemn order, Wondrously His life of woe.

On the night of that Last Supper, Seated with His chosen band, He the Pascal victim eating, First fulfills the Law’s command; Then as Food to all His brethren, Gives Himself with His own hand.

Word-made-Flesh, the bread of nature, By His word to Flesh He turns; Wine into His Blood He changes; What though sense no change discerns, Only be the heart in earnest, Faith her lesson quickly learns. Read More »
