Liar from Way Back

June 2, 2016

DR. THOMAS DROLESKEY provides some interesting background at Christ or Chaos about Hillary Clinton’s work for the House Judiciary Committee at the age of 27, during impeachment proceedings against Nixon. Jerome “Jerry” Zeifman, a Democrat, who was a senior attorney on the Committee, wrote about it in his book “Hillary, As I Knew Her,” and is quoted at length.

The sordid history of the Clinton machine is almost too much to absorb. Dr. Droleskey writes:

The gates of Hell have been let loose, and Madame Clinton’s recklessly self-centered disregard for the protection of American national security and classified intelligence information pales into insignificance when one considers the guilt she bears for her many years of supporting the willful murder of the innocent preborn, including her recent unqualified defense of Planned Barrenhood’s Aztec-like savagery, and her full-throated embrace of the agenda of what Mrs. Randy Engel rightly calls the homosexual collective.

The Handyman (and Woman) Internet

June 2, 2016

THE Internet is filled with good websites and pages that offer instructions about basic home repairs. For those of us who are embarrassed to ask too many questions at the hardware store, it’s great to be able to look up things and learn the names of all those pipes, fasteners, cutting tools, circuits and valves that make up an ordinary home. For instance, I had no idea what the little collar around a pipe that extends from a wall to a bathroom faucet or toilet is called. I looked on the Internet and found that it is an escutcheon. 

Those things are disgusting when they get rusty. Here is one woman who does much of the repair work and remodeling around the house herself, an example of what you can find on the Internet. She explains how to replace an escutcheon. Read More »

 

The Model Minority: Slavery Edition

June 1, 2016

FROM the BBC:

More than 45 million people are living in modern slavery, with Asia accounting for two thirds of the victims, a new report says.

The 2016 Global Slavery Index, from the Walk Free Foundation in Australia, defines slavery as “situations of exploitation that a person cannot refuse or leave because of threats, violence, coercion, abuse of power or deception”.

Modern forms of slavery can include debt bondage, where a person is forced to work for free to pay off a debt, child slavery, forced marriage, domestic servitude and forced labour, where victims are made to work through violence and intimidation.

The BBC looks at five examples of modern slavery. [cont.]

 

Serfs to Whom?

June 1, 2016

BROTHER NATHANAEL, the (formerly) Jewish critic of Jewish power who has been seriously considering running for president in 2020, responds to an article by Paul Craig Roberts, in which Roberts says that Americans have become “serfs” to the “One Percent.” The “One Percent” is Roberts’ term for the shadow government.

Brother Nathanael writes:

May I ask a stupid question? What is this entity, the “One Percent” that PCR keeps citing over and over?

I don’t recall ever seeing such a thing, have you ever seen it? And if so, what does this “One Percent” look like?

And if this is the ‘thing’ that has conquered the American people making them into serfs, then how can we ever have this “revolution” that PCR calls for if we don’t even know what this oppressor looks like? Who do we “revolt” against? Does this “One Percent” have a hideout that we can surround?

Which brings me to another perplexity.  Read More »

From the Bible Belt

June 1, 2016

THE BABYLON BEE reports important developments in the Bible Belt. Here’s the latest:

According to reports coming out of Grace Fellowship, church intern Greg Barona completed the eighth perfect tech performance in Evangelical history Sunday at the church’s 10:30 a.m. service.

Barona looked totally in control from the very first song all the way until the benediction, according to multiple sources. The congregation reportedly held their breath as the pastor gave the verbal cues for media like illustrative pictures, movie clips, and seemingly endless sermon points, but Barona held it together, retiring all slides with no delays, errors, or false starts. The second the 28-year-old Barona fired off the final slide, the audience erupted in emotional, wild cheering, knowing they had witnessed history. After the teaching pastor dumped a vat of old coffee over his head, the congregants swept him up on their shoulders and carried him outside, where the unrestrained celebration continued.

“It looked dicey there for a minute when the worship leader called an audible and went right into the chorus of ‘Good Good Father,’ but Greg pulled through. A real clutch player,” head tech Paul Stark told reporters during the post-service bash, shouting over the cheers from the congregation. “Guys like Greg make it look easy.”

 

Fans of Frank

COOL celebrities love Francis!

But then, in general, the more a person rejects Catholic faith and morals, the more he loves Francis. Celebrities and politicians literally drool over Francis the Fake because they crave the approval of the Catholic Church, which they secretly know is the most powerful institution on earth, without paying any of the costs, even the cost of believing in it. Fortunately for them, Francis doesn’t require that.

Doesn’t that tell you something?

Here’s a quick quiz to test your logic on all this. Read More »

 

Transgendered Soccer

May 31, 2016

ONE of the world’s top-ranked women’s soccer teams was defeated last week by boys who were under 15. The Australian Matildas, who are headed for the Olympics in Rio, fielded some of their top players but still lost 7-0 to the boys team.

A commenter at The Daily Mail wrote:

See I think this is one of the more tragic aspects of feminism along with the mistreatment of boys and men. Women under feminism are taught that their self worth is tied into their ability and willingness to compete with men, and if they can’t or won’t do that, they’re seen as lesser women. Then when they try to compete with men and nature takes its course like it did in this soccer game, they’re made to feel inferior because they couldn’t measure up to the boys.

These women have traded their feminine dignity to be faux men.

Honor the Dead: Don’t Enlist

May 30, 2016

A COMMENTER at Henry Makow writes:

In the 1950s, 60s, 70s, and 80s, a certain percentage of young American men from blue collar families would typically join some branch of the US military to gain employment, free medical and dental care, free meals and housing, technical training, perhaps some college, and above all, have an adventure and see the world.  Read More »

 

In Memoriam

May 30, 2016

 

THE “Navy Hymn,” or “Eternal Father, Strong to Save,” (lyrics here) was recently sung by a men’s glee club, apparently connected with the Naval Academy, on the California coast. Here is a description of the recording:

Last Sunday, despite the persistent drizzle and fog, a small group from the Men’s glee club opted to catch a bus to the Marin Headlands for a hike. After a morning on the damp trail, we passed through a concrete tunnel leading to an abandoned coastal defense battery which was marked as Battery Townsley. This secret military installation was built to defend the city of San Francisco during World War II. Overlooking the fog-carpeted San Francisco Bay, Battery Townsley gave us momentary relief from the cold rain as we rested for the last leg of the hike.

As we exited through the same tunnel, the chiming of nautical bells from a distant buoy could be heard faintly over the sea breeze and the echoes of raindrops in the concrete passageway. Inspired by acoustic qualities of the tunnel and the somber atmosphere, we sang the most fitting song we knew, the Navy Hymn.

Meanwhile, a man who was set up nearby to record the ambient sound surrounding Battery Townsley captured our song emanating from the entrance of the tunnel. Thankfully, Byram Abbott generously shared the recording with us. This is the un-doctored result from the fantastic accident that occurred at Battery Townsley. The recording captures the solemnity of “Eternal Father, Strong to Save,” a prayer for the safe return of sailors out at sea.

May all who have died for America in war rest in eternal peace, and may they never be forgotten.

 

The Meaning of True Charity

May 27, 2016

FROM Liberalism is a Sin, a book about religious liberalism, by Fr. Felix Sarda y Salvany (quoted here):

Charity is a supernatural virtue which induces us to love God above all things and our neighbors as ourselves for the love of God. Thus, after God we ought to love our neighbor as ourselves, and this not just in any way, but for the love of God and in obedience to His law. And now, what is it to love? Amare est velle bonum, replies the philosopher. “To love is to wish good to him whom we love.” To whom does charity command us to wish good? To our neighbor, that is to say, not to this or that man only, but to everyone. What is that good which true love wishes? First of all supernatural good, then goods of the natural order which are not incompatible with it. All this is included in the phrase “for the love of God.” Read More »

 

Hiroshima

Toilet Man in Hiroshima

OBAMA laid a wreath at the Hiroshima Memorial today and called for a “moral revolution” to meet the challenges of a world with nuclear weaponry. It’s a neat trick for a man who has ordered pedophiles into the girls’ room to call for a moral revolution. But what’s a moral revolution without an apology for a massacre? Obama refused to apologize for the devastating atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which killed roughly 200,000 people, mostly civilians.

America should apologize and repent publicly of the attack. To do so is not to dishonor those Americans who served and gave their lives in World War II. To the contrary, it is to honor them.

“Because our American egos and “Christian” morals cannot cope with the reality of an American-caused genocide, we fall easy and willing victims to rationalizations for Hiroshima & Nagasaki (and Tokyo and Hamburg and Dresden etc),” Mike King writes.

He continues:

1: There was no “need” to invade Japan because the war was unjust and could have been stopped by FDR or Truman (who replaced FDR after his death) at any time.

2: In boxing parlance, bombed-out Japan, with its navy sunk and industrial capacity devastated, was already “on the ropes” and attempting to negotiate peace terms through the USSR (which it was not at war with).

3: The mass-extermination of civilian non-combatants is dishonorable and disgraceful. When Japan carried out the bombing of Peal Harbor, its air force only targeted ships, not the inland civilian neighborhoods.

4: Unbeknownst to Japan, Stalin, Churchill and FDR (at Yalta Conference / January, 1945) had already agreed that the USSR would break the Soviet-Japan Non-Aggression Pact of 1941 and declare war against Japan no later than 90 days after the end of war in Europe (which turned out to be May 8th, 1945) — a promise which Stalin gladly kept with his August 8th entrance into the war (that’s how North Korea became communist). Soviet entry would have compelled a badly-weakened Japan to surrender unconditionally anyway.

Me Non Serviam Too

May 27, 2016

ABIGAIL writes:

I had to chuckle at Paul A.’s statement that “[i]f you summed up [the feminist] movement, the slogan would be, ‘Non Serviam!’ (I will not serve!)”  Those uppity feminists failing to accept their place, I tell you.  What a bunch of harpies.  If women would only just be “delicate, fragile, modest, and retiring” like the Virgin Mary, the world would be a much better place – at least for men like Paul A.

My father of all people (a somewhat waffling feminist at best) warned me early on to be very suspicious of people who tell me that if I only  act in the way that’s most pleasing and convenient to them, they will respect me so much more.  That’s the very con played by a male-dominated Church that reveres the meek and de-sexed image of the Virgin Mary they have promoted.  This is a de-humanized image of what they wish women to be.  And the bill of goods they sell is that somehow women will be much more “powerful”  if only we humbly submit to male domination.  Uh huh.

You Can’t Go Home in St. Louis

May 27, 2016

ALAN writes:

Fifty years ago, I lived in a four-family flat on a quiet street in a residential area of south St. Louis.

Last Sunday night, a thug fired four bullets into a black woman near the corner of that block.  The killing took place after “a large fight”, according to “news” accounts, which were typically uninformative.

The four-family flat where I lived was just down the street from that corner.  It was owned by a German couple who had come to the United States in the 1950s.  They lived there, as did their son and daughter-in-law.  They were courteous, thoughtful, and highly-disciplined people.  They attended the same Catholic church we did.  It was five blocks away.  They grew flowers in the back yard and took meticulous care of their property.  Neighbors did likewise.   Read More »

 

The End of East End

May 27, 2016

 

MICHAEL R. writes:

Whatever else might be said about it, the documentary The Last Whites of East End exposes the lie of multiculturalism. While many cultures can intermingle, one will inevitably dominate. A family from Bangladesh who moved into the London area in the 1930’s kept their Muslim religion but felt British and mixed with the English. One of them even missed his English mates who have since moved away, but he understood why they left. When they were a minority they could fit in, however, he said, once the Muslim presence became larger, the area changed in its ethos, many new arrivals weren’t going to accommodate the English.
