If you go back through all the various video clips of Ammon Bundy and co. at the Malheur wildlife refuge [in Oregon], you will notice that they were all dressed like regular working men. They are not/were not “militiamen” nor did they ever claim to be – with the exception of Ryan Payne.
The media started calling the peaceful protesters at the Malheur wildlife refuge “militants,” “armed militants,” “militiaman,” “armed militiamen,” “terrorists,” “armed terrorists,” “armed protesters,” etc. The leftist-(mostly)-media did this to demonize, marginalize, and de-humanize the protesters, the media’s goal was to make the protesters appear to be crazed fanatics intent on overthrowing the government, taking control of the area, etc, etc.
The protesters were nothing even remotely like a militia.
A new, Hollywood-caliber video just released by Islamic State’s media arm al-Hayat appears to at least partially confirm the official narrative of the Paris attacks. [Editor: Links to the videos omitted.]
The video shows eight of the alleged Paris attackers delivering their final statements before gruesomely decapitating various prisoners in orange jumpsuits. Unlike previous beheading videos featuring ‘Jihadi John,’ the latest snuff film does not cut out before the actual murders take place, but displays in full bloodcurdling gory detail the sequential killings, some in slow motion.
The video was obviously shot before the IS militants ostensibly departed for their terror mission in Paris, which they state in the video was personally ordered by IS “caliph” Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, a former Camp Bucca detainee who was oddly “on good terms” with US military authorities during his stay at the American prison in Iraq.
The twisted video opens with a statement by Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the alleged “mastermind” of the Paris operation, in a house in an unknown location. The rest of the video appears to have been shot somewhere in Iraq or Syria, probably near one or both of IS’s strongholds, Mosul in Iraq and Raqqa in Syria. The Paris attackers that do appear in the video are listed as follows: Abdel Hamid Abaaoud, Brahim Abdeslam, Omar Ismail Mostefai, Samy Amimour, Bilal Hadfi, Ali al-Iraqi, Ukashah al-Iraqi, Chakib Akrouh and Abu Fuad al-Faransi.
While the video significantly weakens the case for a MIHOP (made it happen on purpose) explanation of the Paris events, it does not disprove a LIHOP (let it happen on purpose) interpretation. A slew of forewarnings issued to French authorities before the attacks should have provided them enough signals to be able to prevent it, but strangely they did not. Read More »
THE lovely and inspiring mug of feminist Susan B. Anthony may someday adorn the $10 Federal Reserve note. This makes sense. Anthony was a prophet. In addition to her insights about bicycles, she stated the following:
If all the rich and all of the church people should send their children to the public schools they would feel bound to concentrate their money on improving these schools until they met the highest ideals. Read More »
I REALIZED yesterday that I have not offended my Protestant friends in quite a while. Since I do my best to offend as many different groups as possible, I offer today this strongly worded and biblically-based article on why the belief that the Bible is the source of all Christian truth (sola scripture) does not make sense. For one, this belief is not found in the Bible.
BERT PERRY writes in response to this entry on our monetary system and usury:
It strikes me that if we want to fight the current banking system and reduce usury, we really need to little more than look in the mirror. As the eminent economist Walter Williams has noted, two minimum wage incomes get a family of four out of poverty, so if a person is employable and gets married before having children, he’s not going to be poor in our country.
What’s going on here is not the Dickensian exploitation of workers, company stores, and the like, but rather people who are old enough to contract marriage, have children, get jobs, and the like, are led astray by covetousness. They want the more prestigious school, the nicer car, the bigger house, the bigger wardrobe, etc..
You want to put the kibosh on our financial system? There is an easy way to do it in our fractional reserve banking system; pay off your debts. Taking a dollar out of savings to pay off debt eliminates ten to twenty dollars in the money supply due to fractional reserve requirements. And to pay off your debts, you’ve got to confront your tendency to covet things, as Dave Ramsey would point out.
So your key issue here is not Deuteronomy 23:30, but rather Exodus 20:17. Read More »
MAJOR Clifford Hugh Douglas (1879-1952) was an Anglo-Scottish engineer who was a major advocate of monetary reform in the 20th century. He invented the theoretical system known as “social credit economics,” which is basically a proposed means for ending the privatization of credit. An introduction to social credit can be found here.
The purpose of this post is not to advocate for his theory or discuss it at length, but to offer these notes for a speech “Money: An Historical Survey,” which he gave in 1936. They are still applicable today. The crisis he identifies is even worse now than it was then. He wrote:
I find it incredible that a stable society can persist founded on the most colossal lucrative fraud that has ever been perpetrated on society.
It is one of the tragedies of this fraud upon society that the control of credit and the control of information in all its forms – education, publicity, etc. – are concentric and interdependent, and it is obvious that the primary use which is made by the financial hierarchy of this control of information is to mould public opinion into channels which will buttress the usurped authority and hypnotise whole communities into asking for what they do not want.
Here is a fuller excerpt from the speech: Read More »
TWO investigative journalists who made undercover videos of Planned Parenthood employees discussing the trafficking in body parts have been indicted on felony charges in Texas. Instead of Planned Parenthood being charged, the investigators have been. Here’s the question: “So how could [the journalists] be liable for trying to buy human organs when nobody was liable for trying to sell them?” The answer is: This ruling makes no sense. It is draconian political censorship.
The lead investigator behind the undercover Planned Parenthood videos faces up to 20 years in prison after a Houston grand jury decided on Monday not to charge Planned Parenthood with any wrongdoing – and instead indicted him for offering to purchase human organs from the abortion provider.
Center for Medical Progress lead investigator David Daleiden faces a second-degree felony charge of “tampering with a governmental record,” and a misdemeanor charge for violating the state’s “prohibition of the purchase and sale of human organs.” Read More »
Good article on usury-homosexuality. I think one of E. Michael Jones’s important points is that usury, like homosexuality, is sterile. Only where a loan represents a shared risk can we be said
to be in a real economy—that is, “being all in it together” and having a vested interest in a productive outcome.
Another book of interest on this subject I found is called Money: The 12th and Final Religion, by R. Duane Willing (publication of the Barnes Review). From the Introduction:
“This is the story of Money. It has a god called Moloch that rules through interest on money, perpetual debt and stock exchanges…[the money cult and God Moloch] have made it impossible for humanity to achieve the Biblical stewardship covenant obligation. This sacred obligation to take dominion requires a money system compatible with the balance of nature…”
Read it and weep. It seems to me that not only is the usury-homosexuality angle being promoted, but actually our money system is an engine of destruction, liquidating both nature and history. “Using things up” might be another term of usury – leaving nothing for the future.
YOU might say this is not deliberate, but the evidence suggests otherwise: “Pope” Francis hides his cross.
One more relatively minor piece of evidence that the man is a pretender.
And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose upon earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven.
(Matthew 16: 17-19)
Which is worse: that the papal office is vacant or that it is used to destroy souls? Which of those two choices most conforms to God’s promises that the “gates of hell” would never prevail against the papacy?
“Pope” Francis bows and hides his cross before an Orthodox Jewish woman in a meeting in September. The woman refused to bow to him or shake his hand. Orthodox Jews believe Jesus Christ is roasting in a pile of excrement in hell.
“PINCHUS FEINSTEIN,” an alleged 74-year-old resident of Miami Beach, has threatened a lawsuit against “Pope” Francis. Feinstein, the apparent creation of Michael Hoffman of On the Contrary, contends that his conversion to the Roman Catholic Church at the age of 17, and all the subsequent hours and money he devoted to the Church, were wasted.
“Mr. Feinstein” writes in his “Open Letter to Pope Francis:”
Over the years I have contributed tens of thousands of dollars to both Peters’ Pence (the pope’s own treasury about which you of course must be very familiar), and my local parish and diocese.
During that time I attended thousands of Masses, hundreds of holy hours and novenas, said thousands of rosaries, and made hundreds of trips to the Confessional.
Now in 2015 and 2016 I have read your words and those of your “Pontifical Commission.” You now teach that because I am a racial Jew, God’s covenant with me was never broken, and cannot be broken.
[…]
You are the Pontiff. I believe what your Commission teaches under your banner and in your name, and what you declared during your visit to the synagogue in January. As a result, I no longer see any point in getting up every Sunday morning to go to Mass, say rosaries, or attend the Rite of Reconciliation on Saturday afternoon. All of those acts are superfluous for me. Predicated on your teaching, I now know that due to my special racial superiority in God’s eyes, I don’t need any of it. Read More »
EVER wonder why corporate America is so enthusiastic about the “gay family?” Here is one example of many television commercials featuring homosexual couples that have appeared in the last two years. This isn’t just some fluke, some daring ad by a rogue company, but a common phenomenon among corporate retailers who advertise on TV. You can find on the Internet videos of similar ads by Expedia, Chobani yogurt, Cheerios, Nabisco, Allstate Insurance, Microsoft Outlook, Tylenol, Hallmark, Nordstrom’s, Taco Bell, Abercrombie and Fitch, Urban Outfitters and others. Chobani even went so far as to show two young women undressed in bed together.
Those who are angered by this, especially because children are exposed to these ads, and who wish to oppose the ads by boycotting certain products quickly find it difficult because of the large number of companies who have jumped on the bandwagon. As far as I know, there is not single ad that is critical of the homosexual agenda.
You would think that it would make more marketing sense to pitch products to middle class, mainstream families who have children and spend more money on consumer goods. But instead we see retailers appealing to a tiny subset and going out of their way to anger conservative families.
Why do they do it? Why not just play it safe and remain non-controversial? No one’s going to sue companies for not having two dads in their commercials.
Some people would say that all this is just because of the politics of the people who work in the advertising business and in corporate offices. But businesses rarely choose politics over profit. There must be a business motive.
Last fall, I attended a talk by E. Michael Jones, the author of Barren Metal: A History of Capitalism as the Conflict Between Labor and Usury,and he made an interesting point about corporate promotion of homosexuality. While I cannot reproduce his exact words, this is the gist of his argument. First, he said societies in which usury (the business of profiting from interest-bearing loans) is rampant tend to be ones in which homosexuality is more common. He did not provide historical examples but from his book, there is the case of the devastation usury caused to family stability in Renaissance Florence.
Choosing usury over investment, including higher wages in the wool industry was quite literally starving Florence to death, but the oligarchs were too rich to notice. The wool industry was the source of Florentine wealth, and yet but he early 17th century, the number of wool workshops had dropped from 84 to 46, resulting in the impoverishment of the most marginal classes.

Not only were families not being formed among the proletariat, workers were fleeing because they were hopelessly in debt. (pp. 155-157]
Sound familiar? Think of America’s closed factories. A system that favors investors over labor undermines financial independence, family and manhood. It encourages sterility. For corporate America, it makes business sense to glorify homosexual liberation not just to perpetuate an oligarchic system that is far removed from “free enterprise” and to romanticize the harm it causes, but to subvert anti-capitalism among the grass roots.
Leftists used to be anti-capitalist, Jones pointed out. Self-respecting hippies were opposed to bullying corporate monopolies and suspicious of Big Business. But that changed a few decades ago. They became fixated on the sexual revolution and specifically homosexual liberation. (Jones places much of the blame for this on the influence of Michel Foucault, the French philosopher and literary critic.) By pushing homosexuality into the faces of traditional Americans, confident corporations are not just fostering this distraction but they are in a way saying to the middle class, “Back off. You lost. You have no power over us at all.” Read More »
NEW OPPORTUNITIESshould be forthcomingfor men who want gold medals:
Transgender athletes are now allowed to participate in the Olympics without having to undergo sex reassignment surgery, according to new recommendations issued by the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
Female-to-male transgender athletes should be able to take part in male category events ‘without restriction’ under the new guidelines. Male-to-female athletes must use hormone therapy, and will need to show that their testosterone level is below 10 nanomoles per liter at least a year before participating and “throughout the period of desired eligibility to compete in the female category.” In addition, an athlete’s stated female gender identity “cannot be changed, for sporting purposes, for a minimum of four years.”
The globalists push mental illness on the people as a distraction from their crimes.
With usura hath no man a house of good stone
each block cut smooth and well fitting
that design might cover their face,
with usura
hath no man a painted paradise on his church wall harpes et luz
or where virgin receiveth message
and halo projects from incision,
with usura
seeth no man Gonzaga his heirs and his concubines
no picture is made to endure nor to live with
but it is made to sell and sell quickly
with usura, sin against nature,
is thy bread ever more of stale rags
is thy bread dry as paper,
with no mountain wheat, no strong flour
with usura the line grows thick
with usura is no clear demarcation
and no man can find site for his dwelling. Read More »
THE Age of Central Banking is the age of state-sponsored usury. Central banking is the foundation of our debt-based monetary system. It concentrates power in the hands of the few, leads to centralization throughout the economy, and depends on widespread, cultivated ignorance.
You live in the Age of Central Banking, which means that you are to some degree a slave to debt. Even if your personal accounts are in good shape and you owe little or no money, you are still chained to debt through taxation, inflation and the larger economic cycles. We are so engulfed by this system, it’s hard for us to see that it is not a work of nature, nor the inevitable byproduct of “free enterprise.” It is the Capitalist version of tyranny and the root of the immigration crisis, our declining birthrate and our perpetual wars. It cannot last because it is inhuman, but how long it will last is up perhaps to the enlightened few.
Thomas Aquinas said that man cannot be virtuous without the sufficient means to ensure his material welfare. Modern society cannot be virtuous as long as the existing monetary system persists. There was a reason the Church banned usury. It destroys whole societies and leads to moral meltdown.
There are a number of good books that explain the issue in simple, clear language, accessible to those who are not economists, such as me. I am referring to books that can be read in a few days or even hours, and that give a clear overview without getting bogged down in excessive detail.
Norma McCorvey, left, in 1989, with her attorney, Gloria Allred.
NORMA McCORVEY was the real name of “Jane Roe,” the plaintiff in Roe v. Wade, in which the Supreme Court ruled abortion a constitutional right.
Ms. McCorvey later changed her mind and became an opponent of the cause she championed.
Ms. McCorvey, who did not have an abortion but rather gave her child up for adoption as her case wound toward the Supreme Court, did not pinpoint a specific date when she changed her mind about abortion but suggested to ABC News that she had been troubled one day when she noticed some empty swings in a Dallas playground.
“They were swinging back and forth but they were all empty and I just totally lost it,” she said. “And I thought, Oh my God, the playgrounds are empty because there’s no children, because they’ve all been aborted.”
Her pro-abortion attorney, Gloria Allred, brutally dismissed her change of heart as a “career choice.”
The 43rd annual March for Life took place today in Washington, D.C, despite the oncoming storm. Abortion is a great evil and terrible crime, not liberation. That will never change. The abortion-rights movement is anti-woman (and anti-man) to the core.
