Noblest City

January 10, 2024

Bethlehem, of noblest cities
None can once with thee compare;
Thou alone the Lord from heaven
Didst for us Incarnate bear.

Fairer than the sun at morning
Was the star that told his birth;
To the lands their God announcing,
Hid beneath a form of earth.

By its lambent beauty guided,
See, the Eastern Kings appear;
See them bend, their gifts to offer,
Gifts of incense, gold, and myrrh.

Offerings of mystick meaning!
Incense doth the God disclose;
Gold a Royal child proclaimeth;
Myrrh a future tomb foreshows.

Holy Jesu! in thy brightness
To the Gentile world display’d!
With the Father, and the Spirit,
Endless praise to Thee be paid.

Double Income, Double Debt

January 9, 2024

[Reposted]

HOW IS it that middle class families have gone in the last five decades from being sustainable on one income to requiring two in many cases? Why in the same period has household debt grown ever higher? You would think we would have less debt, not more.

This 2019 video discussion between two Australians, Will Waite and Chas Pinwill, explains why working mothers (war and high immigration too) are a necessity in a debt-based, central banking economy and why personal indebtedness only grows worse. Everything they say about Australia is relevant to the U.S. They discuss the “social credit” alternative (not to be confused with Chinese social credit scoring) in which every adult receives a national dividend, similar to workers in profit-sharing companies. The dividend would offset the lack of money in circulation despite growths in productivity in a high-tech age and would provide enough to support families and individuals.

“We’ve gone from a situation of single income to double income but we’re not any richer, because all the second income … goes to paying the mortgage. So the banks have done bloody well. They’ve got us in a deeper grip than ever. And we think we’re getting richer because house prices are going up but they’re only going up because they’re lending money to everybody to bid against each other,” says Pinwill, a cattleman who brings earthy wisdom to the subject.

Major banks and large corporations push feminism, homosexuality and transgenderism. Our economy needs non-reproductive worker bees to keep all that debt afloat.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

Both Capitalism and Communism are founded in usury. Both empower the few at the expense of the many.

 

 

 

The Non-Living Wage

January 9, 2024

A READER writes:

I used the living wage calculator for my city. With two adults, one working, three children, I barely make the living wage with my job ~$84k (wage calculator says $83,416). This requires me to work offshore and be away from my family half the year. I also have baby number four on the way next week so even though I make good money I still will not be making a living wage.

The one big category I noticed that was absent from the typical expenses, which are pretty spot on, was savings. Try and save for retirement or an emergency fund and your money goes by even quicker. This is also with having no car notes and comparatively low credit card debt. We still find expenses tight sometimes especially with hospital bills for the new baby coming up. I barely manage to stay afloat I’m not sure how everyone else is doing it when I know they make considerably less than me even with both parents working.

Through high taxes, usury, offshoring, greedflation, our society really is the worst.

 

 

Modern Families Are Enslaved

January 7, 2024

IN HONOR of this beautiful occasion, the Feast of the Holy Family, here are some brutal truths affecting family life today as noted by Anthony Migchels:

Interest is being payed [sic] by people borrowing money and received by people having loads of it. So it is per definition a wealth transfer from poor to rich.

It transpires, that about 80% of the poorest people pay more interest than they receive to the richest 10%. The next richest 10% pay as much as they receive. This means the vast majority is losing a substantial part of their money to interest. The richest own the banks or have a lot of money there. Read More »

 

The Living Wage

January 7, 2024

A just society makes it possible for ordinary fathers to provide for their families. Even the ancients recognized this natural law, now buried by propaganda and false notions of equality which benefit the few over the many.

The “living wage” supports a family in basic decency, health and modest comfort without onerous taxation and indebtedness. The “servile state” makes it impossible for one-income families to own property or even have enough for food. The economic underpinnings of the family have been decimated and systemic usury makes every single one of us, no matter how much personal debt we have, “interest slaves.”

The sad thing is, it doesn’t have to be this way. There truly is enough for all.

The usurers keep us distracted by stoking social conflict and pushing hedonism, to the further ruin of family happiness. Unleashed sexual desire is deliberately used for political control. Pornography is the slave’s compensation.

It doesn’t have to be this way. There truly is enough for all. God didn’t create the family without also giving the means to support it. Even the birds in the field have been given enough by their loving Father.

The Epiphany

January 6, 2024

“IT is still a strange story, though an old one, how they came out of orient lands, crowned with the majesty of kings and clothed with something of the mystery of magicians. That truth that is tradition has wisely remembered them almost as unknown quantities, as mysterious as their mysterious and melodious names; Melchior, Caspar, Balthazar. But there came with them all that world of wisdom that had watched the stars in Chaldea and the sun in Persia; and we shall not be wrong if we see in them the same curiosity that moves all the sages.They would stand for the same human ideal if their names had really been Confucius or Pythagoras or Plato. They were those who sought not tales, but the truth of things; and since their truth was itself a thirst for God, they also have had their reward.”

— G.K. Chesterton, The Everlasting Man (Ignatius Press; p. 176)

 

 

She Lost Her Son to Pfizer Shot

January 6, 2024

THE sudden death of 34-year-old Victor Simoes has been confirmed by medical testing to have been caused by one Pfizer COVID shot. Simoes was healthy, but collapsed 16 days after receiving the shot.

His mother, Henrietta Simoes, describes the profound and permanent effects on the family in another Children’s Health Defense interview.

When Henrietta reported her son’s death to the CDC’s Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), no one from the CDC called her. She complained about this lack of response and then received two condolence letters from the government agency. One letter said the vaccine was safe and effective. The other suggested she seek counseling.

Another COVID Nurse Speaks Out

January 5, 2024

ANOTHER great interview from Children’s Health Defense: Gail Macrae was a nurse in a San Francisco area hospital during the height of the reported pandemic in 2020. She said her hospital was virtually empty and so were those of acquaintances working elsewhere in the state when television news was reporting they were overwhelmed.

She said prohibiting family members from visiting hospitalized relatives was a “crime against humanity.” Refusing steroids and administering Remdesivir, in keeping with government protocols, doomed many patients. “Every day I felt I was violating my oath of office,” she said.

The honesty and moral outrage in these interviews — the very antithesis of the slick, manipulative COVID propaganda that traumatized and radicalized millions of people — are nothing short of beautiful and inspiring.

Fake Mass Shootings Are Gov’t Operations

January 5, 2024

FROM Sandra:

The truth about Fake Mass Shootings and Hoaxes has been available for over a decade. [The year] 2015 was full of researchers with hundreds of channels that exposed these theatrical productions. Researchers would immediately go to YouTube after the Hoax of the week was presented on the mainstream news and fill the comment section with refutation and evidence to contest the lies. In 2017-2018 there were a ton of Fake Shootings and Hoaxes. They really amped up the frequency dramatically. Simultaneously all these channels were removed. Now, the comment section is highly monitored and full of … trolls that support every single fake event.

The Joys of Multiculturalism

January 4, 2024

A NEVADA judge was attacked Wednesday by a defendant in a felony battery case who leaped over a defense table and the judge’s bench, landing atop her and sparking a bloody brawl involving court officials and attorneys, officials and witnesses said.

“In a violent scene captured by courtroom video, Clark County District Judge Mary Kay Holthus fell back from her seat against a wall and suffered some injuries but was not hospitalized, courthouse officials said.

“A courtroom marshal was also injured as he came to the judge’s aid and was hospitalized for treatment of a bleeding gash on his forehead and a dislocated shoulder, according to the officials and witnesses.”
