No Pope, No Eucharist

June 11, 2020

 

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 »

 

Pange Lingua Gloriosi

June 11, 2020

 

 

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 »

“Public Safety:” Coming to a Town Near You

June 10, 2020

FROM The Anti-New York Times:

“A veto-proof majority of the Minneapolis City Council pledged on Sunday to dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department, promising to create a new system of public safety.”

That’s Red Minneapolis. In Red New York City, the Marxist sub-group of the City Council which has jurisdiction over the Civilian Complaint Review Board — and hence, a big say in de-balling the cops — is called “The Committee on Public Safety.” Hmmm. Now where have we heard that exact term before? If you read Planet Rothschild, you would know that it is from the bloody French Revolution.

The original Committee of Public Safety was created by the Jacobin terrorists (Reds) during the Reign of Terror (1793–1794) phase of the revolution. The Committee defined its role as the protection the new republic against foreign attacks and internal rebellion.

In Communist Czechoslovakia, the dreaded national police force which was founded by Stalin’s henchmen in 1945 was called “Public Safety.” You see, Marxists have their own code-language which centers around them. For example, the word “progress ™,” to a Marxist, doesn’t mean progress in the cultural, economic or scientific sense. No. It means “progress” toward their final revolutionary destination.

Similarly, the term “public safety” doesn’t mean safety for the common people. The word “public” means the Revolutionary government; and “safety” actually refers to the protection of the new gangster regime — by any means necessary — from any “counter-revolutionary” resisters crying foul.  Get it?

“Protestors” vs. Columbus in Richmond

June 10, 2020

 

Columbus in Byrd Park, Richmond

OPEN, unhindered acts of Communist insurrection, animated by intense racial hatred, continued in Richmond, Virginia last night, when a statue of Christopher Columbus was defaced with graffiti, torn down, set ablaze and thrown in a lake by people allegedly upset by the death of George Floyd, a violent thug in Minneapolis.

See our previous report on other recent acts of destruction in Richmond. The Hill reports:

The 8-foot-tall memorial to the explorer in Richmond, Va., was pulled down with ropes and dragged roughly 200 yards to nearby Landing at Foundation Lake, according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch. It was also reportedly briefly lit on fire.

The base of the statue was covered in graffiti, and protesters held signs reading “This land is Powhatan land” and “Columbus represents genocide.”

A makeshift headstone poster was also placed in front of the sunken statute in the water that read, “Racism. You will not be missed.”

The figure was reportedly the first statue of Columbus erected in the South, according to the newspaper. It was dedicated in December 1927.

The statue’s toppling came after demonstrators in the city were seen marching down Arthur Ashe Boulevard, one of hundreds of demonstrations across the U.S. protesting racial injustice and police brutality following the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis late last month.

Protesters in Richmond noted that African Americans and indigenous peoples both face white supremacy and institutionalized racism in the United States since Columbus first arrived on the continent.

Vanessa Bolin, a member of the Richmond Indigenous Society, spoke to the crowd earlier in the night, according to the Times-Dispatch.

“This continent is built on the blood and the bones of our ancestors, but it is built off the backs and the sweat and the tears and the blood and the bones of Africans,” Bolin said. “We’re not here to hijack your movement. We’re here to stand in solidarity.”

Another speaker, Joseph Rogers, referenced genocide committed by white colonizers like Columbus against Native Americans.

“We cannot fight white supremacy without recognizing and uplifting one of its earliest victims on this continent,” Rogers told the crowd.

Another statue of Columbus was beheaded in Boston overnight in the park named after him, according to CBS Boston.

How many of these “demonstrators” were paid from the millions that go to groups associated with Black Lives Matter from billionaires and foundations, we will probably never know.

One thing we do know, this is no more a simple grassroots uprising than the Bolshevik Revolution, which was funded by Wall Street bankers and led to levels of death and destruction most Americans can’t even imagine.

These “protestors” would be charged with a racial hate crime if they toppled a statue of a Native American or black. No chance that’s going to happen with Columbus.

 

 

 

The New Euthanasia

June 10, 2020

HERE IS one of the saddest figures in connection with the devastating effects of Corona Madness. In England and Wales, 10,000 more dementia patients than usual died in April. None of them had the virus.

They apparently died from lack of social contact and adequate medical care, which would have been reduced because family members were not permitted to visit and exercise their normal vigilance. The Guardian reports:

Gavin Terry, head of policy at Alzheimer’s Society, said that isolation can be devastating as family members and friends often play a crucial role in maintaining the health of people with dementia by bringing them meals, taking them out regularly to exercise and keeping people socially engaged. Withdrawing this support can cause people to rapidly go downhill, he said. “We’re hearing that some people are ‘just giving up’ or ‘switching off’ and not eating or drinking,” he said.

Facilities continue to be under lockdown.

Trevor Salomon, 67, whose wife Yvonne, 64, is in a care home in London and was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease when she was 57, said that the pandemic has led to dramatic changes in his wife’s care. “The familiar faces of family and friends are gone, and carers are behind masks and can’t touch or comfort the residents,” he said. “Yvonne has lost her sparkle, she’s in a world she doesn’t understand. The staff at the care home are doing an amazing job looking after the residents, but we’ve only got video calls to keep in touch, and Yvonne doesn’t always understand them. If lockdown continues, I’m really fearful my wife won’t be able to recognise me at the end of all this.”

Sad beyond words.

WHO: Asymptomatic Transmission Rare

June 9, 2020

NOW THAT it’s successfully acclimated billions of people to soft totalitarianism and inflicted untold economic and psychic damage, the World Health Organization announced yesterday that its previous claim that Covid-19 was highly transmissible by those without symptoms was wrong.

The notion of asymptomatic transmission was the primary justification for economic shutdowns, school closures, “social distancing” and mask orders.

“From the data we have, it still seems to be rare that an asymptomatic person actually transmits onward to a secondary individual,” said Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, who leads the WHO’s diseases and zoonosis unit, during a press briefing in Geneva, where WHO is headquartered. [Source]

Hey, don’t worry about it!

The fact that someone with no advanced degrees in medicine could easily tell that this virus was not highly transmissible by asymptomatic carriers simply by looking at the infection rates and lethality in places like China and South Korea doesn’t mean that those with worldwide responsibility and top medical credentials should know! We all make mistakes. Some of them lead to global depression and some of them don’t. Some of them qualify as treason or fraud and some of them don’t.

Besides, it doesn’t matter anymore. The belief that healthy people are extremely dangerous and the practice of social isolation are already ingrained in 75 percent of the population. The facts are beside the point now!

I’m just glad that the WHO gets billions of dollars from national governments, the pharmaceutical industry and concerned citizens like Bill Gates so that it can figure out when it’s made a miscalculation.

I’ve Never Met a White Racist

June 9, 2020

I’VE NEVER personally met a white person in my entire life who was “racist,” who considered blacks less than human, who believed blacks should not be judged as individuals, who believed slavery was moral, who was openly rude to blacks, who mistreated blacks, who called them “nigger,” who believed blacks should not be educated or given economic opportunities. I have met a few whites, not many, who considered blacks different and criticized some of their behavior, but never someone who was unwilling to befriend a black person of good will.

I know that there are whites who categorically dislike blacks, I know there have been whites who mistreated blacks and that there still are people like that, but I haven’t met any of these people.

So for me white racism is a myth.

It’s sort of like … well, the Coronavirus. I’ve never met a healthy person who was afflicted with Covid-19. I don’t know of a single healthy person who has died of it — or even sneezed from it.

I’ve never met a white racist, I but have met hundreds and hundreds of whites willing to do anything for blacks and who even worship them and who get a glowing, tingly smile on their face when they are talking to blacks, as if somehow the mere act of friendship with a black person or even mere physical proximity to the object of their worship elevates their worth. It seems like vanity to me. It seems just a way of dehumanizing blacks, it would make me angry if I were black and encountered this patronizing friendliness, but clearly in saying this I must be “racist” and mentally disturbed. I must harbor some hidden antipathy toward blacks that I’m not even aware of. Maybe I have Covid-19 too?

I don’t know. As far as I can see, “racism” is a term invented by those who want to feel morally superior to others. I see only vanity and deceit and dark political machinations behind it. It is based on a myth.

Clearly, I need to be re-educated.

 

 

 

“Police-Free Society”

June 9, 2020

I think the idea of having a police-free future is very aspirational, and I am willing to stand with community members who are asking us to think of that as the goal.”

— Lisa Bender, President of Minneapolis City Council

Read more of Bender’s comments here.  In a few weeks, we’ve gone from police kicking children out of playgrounds to un-policed burning urban playgrounds.

The old police, representing law and order, will be replaced by the new police, representing tyrannical psychological control, staged deceptions and engineered chaos.

From Masks to Struggle Sessions

June 9, 2020

 

HURRICAN BETSY writes:

How on earth did this happen?  I have known for years that we were too depraved to continue as if life was normal, and that something would occur to bring it all down but I did not think it would happen in my lifetime.  How deluded I was. Anyway, this is a great article:

During the Maoist Cultural Revolution, in struggle sessions, the guilty party – accused of selfishness, ignorance, and the embrace of bourgeois ideology – was pilloried with verbal and sometimes physical assaults by her comrades–until she broke down and confessed her characterological and ideological flaws. ‘Autocritique’ or self-criticism often began with voluntary submission of the guilty party, who subjected herself to a brutal verbal self-inspection and denigration before the jury of her comrades. Autocritique and struggle sessions could lead to imprisonment or death as the comrade was often found to be insufficiently pure. Today, they lead to diminished social standing, public humiliation, and the loss of jobs.

In the aftermath of the killing of George Floyd, we see these personalized, Maoist-derived rituals in full force. The examples are legion and include New York Times Editorial Page Editor James Bennet’s forced resignation amid a staff revolt after Bennet published an op-ed by US Senator Tom Cotton (R – Arkansas) entitled“Send in the Troops” (in response to widespread rioting in US cities).

Black Lives Don’t Matter

June 8, 2020

 

TWENTY-FOUR people, all of them black, were shot and killed during the weekend of May 30-31 in Chicago while hundreds of Chicagoans were looting and rioting over the alleged murder of George Floyd. An additional 61 people were injured in shootings. The Chicago Sun-Times did a yeoman’s job of highlighting these shootings, committed by other blacks, but everyone knows the truth about the victims: they don’t matter, nor do the detectives and other policemen who will investigate.

No billionaires, no foundations will be giving millions to publicize and oppose these crimes. Not a single one of these victims will ever become a household name, you can be assured of that, and if their killers ever come to trial, no reporters or television cameras will be there and the police will get no credit, none at all, for pursuing justice.

The grisly drive-by shootings and other apparent revenge shootings included 18 fatalities in a 24-hour period, the highest in 60 years. This suggests a surge of generalized criminality has been unleashed by the rioting — and national and local leaders who pandered to the looters and did not intervene are heavily to blame for that. This increased criminality will hurt many blacks, probably for years to come.

Life is cheap in black neighborhoods. Disgustingly cheap.  And that’s not because of guns. It’s because of revenge, hatred, greed, and jealousy, none of which can be controlled in places dominated by gangs, political agitators and soulless bureaucracies.

Blacks have plenty of reason to be mad at whites.

But it’s not because of white “racism.” It’s not because of brutal cops. It’s because whites have left them to this God-forsaken hell. Read More »

 

Monument Avenue, Richmond

June 8, 2020

 

RUDIGER writes:

I’m glad I spent the last few weeks of the shutdown walking Monument Avenue in Richmond, Virginia. I got to see its magnificent statues in pristine condition for the last time. I’m sure they will all come down now. On the Stonewall Jackson monument is painted: “Will Kill Cops for Money.”

I went back today and took these pictures. [Click for larger view.] There was a party on Monument with blacks taking pics, white liberals taking pics. I overheard one boomer couple talking to a big black guy. He said, “Things happen for a reason!”

The cruelest was Jefferson Davis (above). They could not reach Lee. He was up too high. But there were blacks flashing gang signs in front of the statue, with people taking their pictures too.

Two other statues remained untouched and pure: the strong black horseman with dreadlocks called “Rumors of War.” Ever seen a black man with Nike’s on a horse? The other was tennis star Arthur Ashe. I bet in 10 years, he will have to go. Racist St. Paul is quoted on his statue.


It’s a sad day for me. Those whites think they get credit from black agitators and their white/Jewish apologists? They think that this is over? That these dead statues are the end?

They want blood. Read More »

THERE’S SOME vulgar language in these videos about the George Floyd “memorial service” and I sincerely apologize for that, but this man has the outrage that is so lacking among those who are more refined, and he has a great eye for fakery. (If intellectual types didn’t consider themselves above delving into the details of the world’s most prominent news stories, I wouldn’t have to post hard-working, unpaid reporters who occasionally use four-letter words.) MagNation also has important insights into the staging of Floyd’s death.

George Floyd Had the Corona

June 4, 2020

JUST IN CASE you hadn’t sensed any obvious connection between a world-changing respiratory virus and a world-changing respiratory “murder,” the authorities have announced that, yes, George Floyd tested positive for Covid-19. He tested positive in April. The circumstances of his testing are not mentioned.

This should qualify Floyd as a Covid death (“I can’t breathe’), thus ramping up the highly inflated Covid death figures by one. But it is safe to assume this will remain a police statistic, not a Johns Hopkins Center for National Virus Hype statistic.

As a reader said, things have come full circle. A corona circle.

This is a two-fer-one mass event, stoking civil war and Coronaphobia. Doctors assure us that even though George was not symptomatic, he still had “positivity” for the virus at the time of his death, which would mean you would not want to have run into him at a grocery store.

 

 

Images of Derek Chauvin

June 4, 2020

 

ONE OF the reasons I believe the George Floyd “murder” was staged is very simple.

This by now world-famous photo (above) of Derek Chauvin, the cop with an oh-so-stagey name accused of Floyd’s murder, and the mug shot taken when he was arrested (below) just do not appear to be the same man. The one at the scene looks much older. His hair is grayer and his head appears larger, his face less firm and his chin less cleft.  I definitely could be wrong, but they do not look like the same person to me.

Also what kind of cop would keep his hand in his pocket while he’s trying to restrain a large, supposedly violent man, and why would he look straight at someone filming him?

Could the truth be staring us right in the face?
