FOR 20 years, the website Tradition in Action** has insisted Americans are living through a holy war with Islam similar to the Crusades. The opening salvo of this war, according to TIA, was the alleged attack by Muslims on the World Trade Center in 2001.

TIA argued for war with Iraq both before and afterward. (See here, here, here, here, and here.)

On the 20th anniversary of 9/11 last week, the ostensibly Catholic website was unchanged in its position: The 9/11 attack was the work of nineteen Muslims with box cutters in hijacked planes. Pete Riehm wrote:

It has been twenty years since the cowardly sneak attacks on 9/11, 2001. Americans were shocked when Islamist terrorists crashed airliners full of innocent passengers into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon – and incredibly, some unknown heroes forced the terrorists’ evil designs down into a remote field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. About 3,000 people were murdered that day on American soil. It was horrific!

The United States vowed to defeat this vile enemy and root out all the terrorists around the globe who mean us harm. Much American blood and treasure has been shed the past two decades, and we have been largely successful in the primary objective of preventing any large-scale attacks on our homeland.

I do not mean to suggest that Islam is not truly dangerous, but this description is disturbingly cartoonish, especially at this late date. (more…)

AT Fitzpatrick Informer, Timothy Fitzpatrick writes that the hideous Tear of Grief monument, a 9/11 “memorial” donated by Vladimir Putin and located in Bayonne, New Jersey, is “a symbol of Soviet conquest.”

He writes:

In hindsight of the “Covid-19” scamdemic, it seems that 9/11 served as the foundation for final Bolshevist world government expansion into the West, by way of the two precedents it set for unconstitutional changes (brute force, as outlined in the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion) via “emergency” powers. So it is that the Soviets and their proxies in the U.S. government sought to leave their mark at or near the crime scene—in this case, across the shore from the World Trade Center in New Jersey. It seems the more we look into the criminal conspiracy surrounding the 9/11 false flag, the more we see Soviet fingerprints. We shall continue to explore the hypothesis that 9/11 was carried out by a joint KGB/Mossad initiative to bring about what we are now finally seeing in 2021—the realization of world communism.

We should all cry tears of grief for what has happened to America since that fateful day in 2001. (more…)

 AFTER making this video, Dr. Anne McCloskey, who has practiced medicine for over 30 years in Londonderry, Ireland, was suspended by a local medical board and cannot practice medicine while a full investigation is completed.  

"WE must trust with a special trust all that belongs to God, or looks like Him. Our trust must be incessant, universal, prudent, and bold. In divine things there is no prudence which is not bold. It must live and work in the dark, as briskly as in the light. It must distrust itself. It must be gay, playing blithely with difficulties; for difficulties are the stones out of which all God's houses are built. Of a truth our whole generosity with God is nothing more than the measure of our confidence in Him. To sum it up in one word, in the pursuit of sanctity confidence is progress." --- The Rev. William Frederick Faber, "Confidence the Only Worship"

Personally, again, just for the record: I am not now, nor have I ever been, a right-winger. I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I’m never been dumb enough to fall for that scam. Right-wingers are knuckle-dragging morons with a perfect, 100% track record of losing every single battle with the left and failing to conserve anything, even the women’s restroom.

F*** right-wingers. Also, f*** Z-Man and Jim Donald, morons who don’t know jack shit about most things but are simply tied to a ridiculous ideology that is hardly all that different than various leftist ideologies. All they engage in is right-wing virtue signaling – Jim Donald’s entire output is purity spiraling, which is just hysterical, as he sees that in everyone on the left, but never seems to notice it even in his own writing and commenting. What an astonishing lack of self-awareness from these not really “dissident” right-wingers.

I don’t read the writers Banned Hipster mentions above, but I second his sentiments about conservatives and can attest to what he says, though I have in the past been dumb enough to fall for some of these cons. Right-wingers hate the truth. So do those “traditionalists” who bury lies in a mountain of pseudo-intellectual sophistries and cater to morons. Right-wingers have a cult-like mentality. They have dragged this nation to the ground with their refusal to cope with reality and truth or their actual complicity. Hipster also writes:

I’ve found 9/11 truth is an almost completely 100% reliable indicator of people who have a clue, and people who do not. The anti-truthers are all invested in one idea, and that is, facts, reality, evidence, observation, none of that matters, because they can “prove” something simply via words. “I write this sentence, therefore 9/11 truthers are wrong.” [Emphasis added.]

My favorite was always, “someone would have talked!” I mean, literally scores of people have talked they just didn’t get broadcast on TV, so you’ve never heard of any of them.

All of what they are doing is called “thought-terminating cliches.” E. Michael Jones is particularly bad about this. He rejects physical reality in favor of language. He also simply hates white people, hates America, and believes whatever the Vatican tells him to believe, because he’s a textbook religious fanatic. [TTH comment: Jones is wittingly or unwittingly a Kremlin shill.]

Anyone who believes in the official narrative of 9/11 at this point is either guilty of such extreme mental sloth that his opinions on anything happening in the world can be disregarded or he is a disinformation agent. The very laws of physics and gravity are against him — and these laws cannot be altered by moronic right-wingers no matter how holier-than-thou they are.

Not long ago I learned of the death last year of a woman whom we met in 1965.  She, her husband and her parents owned a four-family flat on Pennsylvania Avenue in south St. Louis.  All of them lived there.  We moved there in August 1965.  It turned out that we could not have chosen a residence owned and cared for by better people.  They were German, and they exemplified the spirit and determination of the “Scrubby Dutch” of south St. Louis.

Pennsylvania Avenue is a brick street.  It was a clean, safe neighborhood in 1965 and for years after.  We would never have moved there had it not been.  It was within walking distance of schools, churches, parks, and stores.  It was one block from the building that had been Maryville College.

Our years in that house left many priceless memories.

The woman who died was the last of the four. Elisabeth and her husband, Hans, had a son whom I remember from those years as being a few years younger than me. (more…)
