THERE'S a lot of theatrics in the alleged ICE raids -- staged propaganda to inflame the gullible. Here's one example.  

YOUR every breath is taxed to pay for this. In addition to federal aid to Israel, states pay out:

“Do you know how much your State sends to Israel annually? In 2023 the US signed a MOU w/Israel to guarantee $3.8 Billion in Federal aid per year til 2028, but how much does each of the 50 States pay Israel every year??

Alabama: $54.8M, Alaska: $972 K, Arizona $355 M, Arkansas $53.7 M, California: $1.68 B, Colorado: $54.4 M, Connecticut: $232 M, Delaware: $15.2 M (more…)

WOMEN have such an extraordinary biological advantage over men in the family that it can only be balanced by social mores that protect fatherhood, marriage and the provider role of men. Without these customs, civilized life is impossible. Once again, George Gilder on this subject: "The desire of men to claim their children thus emerged as the crucial impulse of civilized life. It is chiefly in the nuclear household that the man's connection to his children becomes central. He is the key provider. His fatherhood is direct and unimpeachable, and he identifies, loves, and provides for his offspring. His role as provider then becomes almost as crucial for the maintenance of the family as the mother's role. He thus can feel equal to the mother within the family and he can join it without damage to his sense of himself as a man." (Men and Marriage, 1992)  

THE specialization required of men involves sacrifice by its very nature. George Gilder wrote in his 1992 book, Men and Marriage:

Among men the term dilettante is a pejorative. Yet, because the range of human knowledge and experience is so broad, the best that most people can ever achieve, if they respond as a whole person to their lives, is the curiosity, openness, and eclectic knowledge of the dilettante. Most men have to deny themselves this form of individual fulfillment. They have to limit themselves, at great psychological cost, in order to fit the functions of the economic division of labor. Most of them endure their submission to the marketplace chiefly in order to make enough money to suatain a home, to earn a place in the household, to be needed by women. (more…)

THIS 2010 piece, “Are Fathers Necessary?,” published just around Father’s Day in The Atlantic almost 15 years ago, sadly could have been written yesterday:

The quality of parenting … is what really matters, not gender. But the real challenge to our notion of the “essential” father might well be the lesbian mom. On average, lesbian parents spend more time with their children than fathers do. They rate disputes with their children as less frequent than do hetero couples, and describe co-parenting more compatibly and with greater satisfaction. Their kids perceive their parents to be more available and dependable than do the children of heteros. They also discuss more emotional issues with their parents. They have fewer behavioral problems, and show more interest in and try harder at school. 

Got it, Dad? We don’t need you.

The most important institution — fatherhood — is the least celebrated. The deference and respect due to fathers is so often attacked most people don’t notice it. The government even conspires to keep fathers out of their homes.

Can you imagine what it’s like to know your father spent 15 minutes conceiving you in a loveless act and then handed over his contribution to a medical technician? It hurts. Losing a father through death hurts, but losing a father through cold deliberation and medical innovation must hurt even more.

In Charles Dickens’ David Copperfield, the protagonist is a young boy born without a father. The trajectory of his life is established from the beginning by his fatherlessness. It mattered that his father was gone: (more…)

“ONE day I saw the Son of God, holding in His Hand His own Heart, which appeared more brilliant than the sun and which was casting rays of light on every side; then, this amiable Saviour gave me to understand that all the graces which God unceasingly pours forth on men, according to the capacity of each, come from the plenitude of the Divine Heart.” --- St. Mechtilde  

"ONCE the ultimate objective and desideratum of the communist-internationalists is grasped, their policy and propaganda is easy to understand. That desideratum, is, in a phrase, absolute power for themselves and absolute equality and subservience for everyone else. The first phase and objective is the smashing up and wrecking of all existing institutions and States. For this purpose all revolutionary, anarchical and disintegrative forces must be stimulated and encouraged." --- The World Significance of the Russian Revolution, George Pitt-Rivers; 1920  

IN 1924, Mexico became the first country in the Western hemisphere to give diplomatic recognition to the Soviet Union. Fr. Denis Fahey, in his 1928 book, Secret Societies and the Kingship of Christ," wrote: "... [W]e can discern the secret alliance between the Masons of the two countries to carry on the war of persecution and calumny against the Catholic Church in Mexico." U.S. Air Force General Glen Van Herck (US Northern Command & North American Aerospace Defense Command commander) stated in March 24, 2022 in Senate testimony: "I would point out, the largest portion of GRU [Russian military intelligence] members in the world is in Mexico right now." President Calvin Coolidge referred to the country in 1927 as "Soviet Mexico." (Sources available here)  

"AS a reminder while riots rage in Los Angeles: "LA’s Mayor, Karen Bass, was a Fidel Castro supporter. "She was a member of the Venceremos Brigade and made 7 trips to Cuba during the 1970s — when it was illegal for Americans to do so. "Later, she traveled there with Obama in 2016." Source  

"RE: The Chicano claims of the border "crossing them", the statistics don't back the Aztlan delusions up. "In 1930, the census introduced a separate Mexican category and found that CA was 6.5%🇲🇽. Virtually all of their population growth is a result of post-1965 illegal immigration." Source

A friend put me on to your beautiful website. I’ve been enjoying it for the past couple of days. I just finished reading your Greetings and I want to whole-heartedly congratulate you for breaking the code.  It is no small feat to realize what you have in the face of the relentless lies about womanhood that drown our society.

A few months ago, and far away, I stumbled into the third chapter of Genesis. I read the familiar curses to man, woman and snake, but for the first time I grasped the last phrase of the curse to the woman (3:16).  I suspect you are familiar with the Douay Rheims Bible (drbo.org, on the internet).  You get the full force of the curse there.

I have no more idea what led me there, any more than I could explain why I never grasped until then what that phrase said.  It was as if an angel took me to a window and invited me to look out to see what caused devastation in my own life, but infinitely more important, how far our world is from the rails that brought our civilization to this moment in history.
