Summer Duck, Mark Catesby (1722-26)

MARK CATESBY (1682-1749) spent four years exploring and documenting the wildlife of the Carolinas, Florida, and the Bahamas. His extraordinary watercolors are the result.

FROM an article by Anthony Migchels at Real Currencies:

The Banking System is One. It is controlled top down. Those that control it are the Money Power. It’s global and it rules finance. It dominates every Government on the planet through it.

Its basic operations are simple: maintain monopolistic control of the money supply. Provide credit at interest. Create a boom/bust cycle by inflation and deflation. Finance those under control or to be brought under control and starve the rest. Translate this financial omnipotence to Global Despotism.

The implementation of these basic policies have become more complex during the last century. But for the controllers little has changed. Read More »

“THE GIFT of Wisdom is an illumination of the Holy Ghost, thanks to which our intellect is able to look at revealed truths in their more sublime light, to the greater joy of our souls.”

— Rev. M. Meschler, S.J. “The Gift of Wisdom: Meditations on the Holy Ghost”

O Blessed Light of Life Thou art,
Fill with Thy Light the inmost hearts
Of those that hope in Thee.

Without thy Godhead nothing can
Have any price or worth in man,
Nothing can harmless be.

THE BLESSED VIRGIN ON
PENTECOST MORNING

Maid and Mother, pure and kind,
’Tis the Whitsun morning;
June hath wearied sun and wind
For the world’s adorning,—
Earth is blossomed like a bride
For the blessed Whitsuntide.

Thrice the mighty Spirit wrought
For thy soul’s completing:
First, thy stainless self He brought
To the world’s entreating;
Next, to work thy “Fiat” came;
Last, He crowns thy brow with
flame.

’Tis Elijah’s olden rite,
Slow the sign preparing:
First, God built thee, altar bright,—
Christ, the Victim, bearing;
Last, from Heaven, at thy desire
Flashed the Lord’s consuming fire.

– Edward F. Garesché, S.J

I have appreciated your blogs for about a year now. I am not sure I understand your distaste for pizza fully, as you have written several times about it. The photo of “the sleeping woman in subway with pizza sliding to its zero-mechanical state” made my day and I am glad you mentioned it in your blog.

I post this link about a high school senior admitted to Yale after writing an essay on pizza. Imagine getting into Yale based upon a Papa John’s (no less) pizza!

So much for the Ivies. Read More »

The Russian exclusive interview you posted recently was perfect. There must be other “sleepers” who have adopted the American way of life and are undermining truth, justice and the American way!

We used to have an eccentric Auntie who regularly warned us of foreign invaders coming to our coasts. I always thought the invasions would be foiled by the pizza and the music (noise-ick). The invaders would soon be acclimatized, in debt, distracted and done-in by the culture, though I am not sure what they would do with their weapons.

It’s hilarious how the author poses beside Putin, and posts his photo as a girl.

In a recent post, a commenter from Tradition in Action mentions how it seems the only decent modern classical music is made for film scores, such as by John Williams for Star Wars or Harry Potter.

Maybe you’ve noticed that since the 80’s, more and more films are scored with recycled music; often the soundtracks are a collection of pop songs from a certain era, with little if any “new” scoring specifically written for the film. Read More »

“Through the ages, I have disclosed in various ways My love for men and My burning desire for their salvation. I have allowed them to know My Heart.”

— Revelation of Jesus to Sr Josefa Menendez, 11 June 1923

Devotion to the Sacred Heart is “an aristocratic devotion aiming for the restoration of Christendom.” 

THINK ABOUT IT: If you were the devil — I know it’s hard, but try to imagine it — wouldn’t you seek to convince people that you are only a symbol?

Paul A. writes:

Your comment is obviously true. But perhaps more to the point, if you were an unrepentant sinner, would you not try to convince yourself that the Devil is merely a symbol?

“What a stroke of utterly malevolent genius, to portray opposition to your group’s agenda as a form of psychiatric illness.”

POSTED at Ebenshades Garden Centers:

“The petunias we know today are a far cry from those that first appeared in 19th century gardens, although they’re all based mainly on two species that were discovered in South America in the mid-1700’s and early 1800’s: White-flowered Petunia axillaris and purple-flowered Petunia violacea. Introduced into Europe in the early 1800’s, these species weren’t spectacular garden flowers–they were lanky and rather small-flowered–but breeders even then, especially in Germany and England, began crossing them in search of larger flowers and more colors. The result was the garden petunia–a group of plants in exciting colors, some with large, sometimes double flowers, others with fringed single flowers. Referred to as Petunia x hybrida, the plants weren’t hybrids as we know the term; they were chance crossings of species. Burpee’s 1888 catalog listed a ‘Black-throated Superbissima‘, which had deeply veined, dark crimson-purple petals and a black throat.  Read More »

Ariana Grande with one of many occult symbols she has posed with — the Monarch butterfly.

FRANK R. writes:

Here is a photo of the dead.  I think you do yourself a great disservice by rushing to call these attacks false flag.

Laura writes:

Thank you for your concern.

I’m sorry, but the photo you mention does not, in my opinion, prove anything. There are no close-ups of the fatally wounded or realistic images of wounds. It is similar — actually less convincing — than this photo of a terror drill last year at the Trafford Center shopping mall in Manchester.

In this age of cell phones — probably 90 percent of the people at the concert had a cellphone with a camera — it stretches belief that no photos of grisly carnage have emerged on the Internet, especially since the people at that concert would not exactly all have been mature, restrained citizens. I covered many crime stories when I was a newspaper reporter — for The Daily Register in Red Bank, N.J. and The Philadelphia Inquirer. I know what a victim of violence looks like.

But there are other reasons to suspect the story of Manchester. A drill of a similar terror attack occurred in Manchester a year before. Firefighters last week were prevented from helping the victims. Ariana Grande is heavily into the occult, which links her to Freemasonry. (There’s lots about this on the Internet.) The interviews with witnesses (such as here and here) were stilted and those who were supposedly witnesses or victims did not display traumatic effects. People have complained that photos of their dead relatives were posted in collages of the supposed victims. As usual, the suspect was killed and ISIS was instantly identified as the culprit. If rushing to judgment is itself wrong then the whole world should not have been orchestrating the fact that it was the work of ISIS, but should have waited for the results of an investigation. The land of Sherlock Holmes seems to reject investigation. How does one so instantly identify a body that has been blown apart? One more tidbit: Here’s a video showing that concertgoers were told over the public address system after the alleged explosion that nothing had happened — not in itself damning, but one more scrap of counter-evidence.

I wrote that I would be very suspicious of the story until realistic photos emerged. I will continue to believe it was either a false flag or the work of a patsy until more evidence to the contrary comes forward. I am open to being wrong.

I urge you to take seriously the papal warnings about Freemasonry, which has been active in England for a long time.

ROME wept this week upon the retirement of its favorite soccer player, Francesco Totti. Mike King writes:

… Sports — sports — sports! That’s all the typical TV-addicted European or American male seems to be able to get excited about, is it not? With his mind, his passion and his natural warrior spirit thusly diverted towards endless games and inane “round-table” commentaries about the game, Boobus Athleticus is left with neither the time nor the interest to study the dangerous illusions that have been and continue to be pulled over his eyes — illusions that are enslaving him and destroying his own family’s future. Adding insult to injury, the sports press openly mocks Boobus Athleticus by referring to him as a “fan” — short for “fanatic.”

Mamma mia! What a tragic farce. Read More »
