“… NOTHING is more agreeable than to receive a good thing that we are eager to possess. But gratitude is the key to the inexhaustible treasury of that Lord of infinite wealth. Go with confidence and ask of Him what you wish; all you have to do is to return thanks for what He has already given you, and the new gifts and graces are already prepared for you. ‘Be nothing solicit­ous,’ says St. Paul ‘but in everything, by prayer and supplica­tion with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God’ (Phil. 4: 6); for gratitude gives prayer its greatest efficacy. Do you wish, therefore, to be in good health? Then thank God for the health He has given you hitherto. Do you wish to have means to support yourself and your family? Then thank God for the daily bread He gives you. Read More »

“THE folk song deals with the fundamental, universal realities of human life, realities which belong equally to the present and the past, and which always hold deep meaning for us. Thus, nothing has changed in the relation between God and man in spite of modern atheism; nothing has changed in the relation of boy and girl, man and wife, despite rising divorce rates; nothing has changed in the relation between mother and child despite birth control; nothing has changed in the relation of a man to his country despite treason and cowardice. Folk music sings of life and death, the joy of true love and the pain of disappointment, daily chores and heroic adventure, the jovial comradeship of the tavern, the difficulties of this earthly pilgrimage and the longing for our heavenly home.

“Because folk songs present these universal human experiences in a simple and beautiful form, they have the power to stir the souls of men in every age. They are always contemporary; they speak to us now as clearly and warmly as when they were first sung. We experience today the timeless beauty of the anonymous folk poetry, a beauty often equal to the work of our greatest poets and composers.”

— Dr. Jop Pollman, Laughing Meadows Songbook, Grailville Publications, 1947

“IT is a vice, by keeping quiet, to allow someone unworthy or unfit to be chosen for promotions and honors, or permit someone worthy to lose his dignity, goods or honor… The same can be said if, in meetings of the council, you keep quiet out of ignorance or malice and thus withhold the truth from the other advisers. Likewise, during a court hearing, if you see someone make a fraudulent accusation or be unjustly condemned, you will sin. And if you fail to reprehend the detractors in conversations defaming others by neither excusing nor praising the person defamed, you will sin by remaining silent. Likewise, when you perceive that a word to edify, instruct, exhort or correct someone is necessary, you commit a sin if you withhold that wholesome advice. Hence Isaiah exclaimed: ‘Woe is me, because I have held my peace’ (6:5). The same is said in Ecclesiasticus: ‘And refrain not to speak in the time of salvation’ (4:28)”

JOHN Fetterman routinely wears hoodies and shorts on the Senate floor. Is this promotion of the pajamas-and-slippers society just another psyop to demean and demoralize the masses?

Of course it is.

Politics at this point is an ongoing humiliation ritual. ‘Democracy’ is just another word for mockery of the people.

See an interesting discussion (if that’s what you call it) here, especially the comments by Legalman.

One day in 2000, I found a note in my mailbox. It was not a letter and had no stamp on it. It was a neatly-typed note from the man who delivered mail to homes in my neighborhood, and he intended it for all of them. He wrote:

Dear Friends, 

I have enjoyed being your mailman for the last few years, and have made a lot of friends on this route, but my legs have started to hurt all of the time from all of the walking over the last 36 years. Wednesday, Nov. 22, 2000, will be my last day on the route.  I will be retiring as of that date. I don’t mind leaving the job, but it’s hard leaving all of the nice people.  If you see me out anywhere in the future, please say hello. I hope you get a new mailman who takes his job seriously. Goodbye.

Your friend and mailman,

Larry 

Larry was a Vietnam Veteran. He died in 2015 at age 69.

I have saved his note because it is a remnant from Old America. It reflects the sense of life, work ethic, and loyalty to customers that postal workers once displayed throughout their daily routes. Read More »

“WHEREFORE tell me now, wherein hast thou spent thy childhood? Wherein thy infancy? Wherein thy youth? To be short, wherein hast thou spent all the days of thy life past? Wherein hast thou occupied thy bodily senses, and the powers of thy soul, which almighty God hath given thee, to this end, that thou shouldest know him, and serve him? Wherein hast thou employed thine eyes, but in beholding of vanities? Wherein thine ears, but in harkening after lies? Wherein thy tongue, but peradventure in all kind of swearing, backbiting, and most unhonest talk? Read More »

MANY Orthodox Jews oppose Zionism, as do many liberal Jews. This video focuses on the former.

ON MAY 11, 1918, my maternal grandfather, a physician who volunteered to serve in the British medical corps during World War I and sustained lifelong injuries in the war, wrote home to his mother. In the letter, he speaks mostly of his fondness of home, but also of the cause of the war: the “lust for power of man.”

Dearest Mother,

I happened to see in the Paris paper that Sunday, the 12th is Mother’s Day and that we might celebrate by writing to our Mothers, such letters to receive special consideration in the mails. So these are my thoughts to you Mother mine.

You must know it is not necessary for me to have a special day in which to remember you, for in my thoughts every day is Mother’s Day and many are the spaces of the day and the restless moments of the night that I think of Mother and of home and how much I wish I could see them both.

I have seen a good bit of England and of France and they are both quite nice but they can’t compare with little old Dunmore with all its mud and it’s not the excitement of the gay little place that makes me think it is so fine, but because you and the girls are there.

Tonight is most beautiful — warm and balmy — with thousands of stars above. Overhead you hear the monotonous drone of the planes and see their lights flashing in competition with the twinkling stars. In front are the uninterrupted flashes of guns — and out over the lines rockets and chains of light, the signals of friend and foe. A wonderful night and how calm and peaceful the elements are but how disturbing and deadly the hand of man. The continuous roar of our big guns, the short angry cracking of the machine guns in the distance, the whiz and shriek of the Hun shells going on their way to still pound to dust the once happy and serene little villages of this beautiful land. Mother Nature must indeed be sorrowful these days to see how cruelly her lovely charms are trampled upon by the lust for power of man. How little we think, in these days, of the wonders of the budding flower or of the greatness of the mother robin with her young, but all of our thoughts are of the seventy-five mile gun or the latest type of aeroplane.

“TO experience the tremendous power of genuine, unaffected folk songs, you must sing them yourself, sing them often, and sing them well. You cannot possibly experience the beauty of folk music if you simply hear the songs performed by a choir in picturesque costume. In folk singing, the goal is to sing, and this fact distinguishes the folk song from all other types of song. In the concert hall, in the cabaret, on the radio, the singing is a means to excite emotion in a passive audience who sit quietly and listen. The art song and the modern popular song are founded entirely on an appeal to the ear. But the folk song is founded on the joy of active singing, the joy of rhythmic movement of the entire voice organism. The frequent repetitions of a refrain which are so characteristic of the folk song are evidence that folk music is basically kinesthetic in its appeal. These refrains are a pure delight to the active singer, he does not tire (as a silent listener would) of repeating the same chorus many times. Folk singing is active in goal and method. It is essential to join in the singing to experience the deep beauty hidden in the music.

“If you begin to sing folk songs and to make them a part of your life, you will soon discover that they have the power to form your taste and to cultivate your artistic judgment. You will become aware of the pretension and insincerity in works of art which perhaps you admired before. You will find that you have come to prefer simplicity to sophistication, genuine feeling to empty sentimentality, real joy to superficial amusement.”

“CONCERNING the duration of Purgatory, the Church simply tells us that it is not a place of everlasting pain, but will end at the last judgment; neither are we informed of the length of time required for the purification of a soul. According to St. Thomas Aquinas, the soul, to be reunited to her Creator in Heaven, must be in the state of primitive innocence which adorned her when she proceeded from His hand. The image of God must be entirely restored within her, commensurate with the degree of glory awaiting her in Heaven. Read More »

ORDINARY Jews in America (and Europe) publicly call for genocide.

They will not spend a millisecond in jail for hate crimes, “domestic terrorism,” or “incitement of racial hatred.”

The spirit of vengeance knows no bounds.

TWO Jews, Bill Maher and Sharon Osbourne, applaud multiculturalism in England.

Never forget: They hate your guts.

FROM Understanding the Jews, Understanding Anti-Semitism by Hervé Ryssen (Translated by Carlos W. Porter; published by same, 2014):

The Jewish people consider themselves the bearers of a project governing humanity as a whole, a grandiose project which they have pursued for centuries, through and despite everything: the instauration on earth of universal and lasting peace. The notion of “peace”, in fact, lies at the very heart of Judaism: it is not by chance that this one word (“shalom”, in Hebrew) appears so frequently in the speech of all Jews, all over the world. It is not just a religious concept – one of a belief in God’s work in a distant future – but of a guiding principle which determines the commitments of Jews on a daily basis. It is in fact the Jews themselves, who, through their work, their actions, their involvement in politics, work each day for the construction of this “peace”.

In the perfect world which they believe they are creating, all conflict will have completely vanished from the face of the earth – particularly, conflict between nations. That is why, wherever they settle, Jews militate ceaselessly and untiringly for the elimination of all borders and the breakdown of all national identity. Nation states are the cause of war and disorder; they must, therefore, be hollowed out from within and without, and – in the long run – eliminated entirely, replaced by World Government, solely capable of bringing about the reign of human felicity and endless prosperity on Earth.

The aim is to unify the world by all means possible, leveling all cultural differences, which are believed to be the source of conflict. Jewish intellectuals, all over the world, work without letup for this ideal. Whether Left or Right, Marxist or liberal, believers or atheists, Zionists or “perfectly integrated”, Jews are the world’s most fervent advocates of this messianic global empire.

Judaism is, therefore, essentially a universalist political project, the objective of which is the unification of the world, as the prelude to global pacification. It is a long, difficult job, they admit, but the Jews are absolutely convinced that they can succeed in achieving this aim, obsessed, as they are, with the “Mission” entrusted to them by God. Or as the prophet Isaiah puts it: “The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them…” (Isaiah, XI, 6-9).

Contrary to Christianity or Islam, the Jews do not intend to convert others to Judaism; rather, they intend simply to persuade them to renounce their religion, their race, their identity, their family and all their traditions, in the name of “Humanity”, and “Human Rights”. This Global Empire, in fact, can only be built upon the ruins of great civilizations, using the human detritus produced by so-called “democratic societies” and the capitalist system. Read More »
