“[S]INCE the inception of the U.S. Federal Reserve, the U.S. dollar has lost 97 per cent of its purchasing power, and there have been 19 recessions, the great depression of the 1930s and the current great depression which started in 2008, and notwithstanding mainstream media propaganda, appears to have all the symptoms of a depression. Since 1910, the National Debt has increased from $2.65 billion to $17.5 trillion in 2014, while unfunded liabilities exceed $240 trillion.”
— Stephen Mitford Goodson, A History of Central Banking and the Enslavement of Mankind [Blackhouse Publishing, 2014]
“SINCE World War II ever increasing numbers of married women in the Western world, deluded by the malevolent propaganda of feminism and gender equality, have been forced to seek employment, so that their families can pay the ever increasing amounts of interest necessary in order to make ends meet. Most of this interest is accrued on mortgage loans i.e. on money which banks have created out of nothing. The direct result of this iniquitous financial system has been the undermining of normal family life and a dramatic reduction in female fertility. According to Aaron Russo, the Rockefellers were behind this diabolical scheme which was created to draw women into the income tax net, place their children in school at an early age where they could be indoctrinated, destabilise society and set up the New World Order. In this manner the link between usury and demographic decline has been established. Even if the usury system should be abolished in its entirety within the next five to ten years, these trends will not be easily reversed over both the short and medium term. If usury remains intact, then the world must brace itself for a depression, similar to the Dark Ages, which will last for many centuries.” [emphasis added]
I have long determined to make public the origin of the greenback and tell the world that it is one of Dick Taylor’s creations. You have always been friendly to me, and when troublous times fell upon us, and my shoulders, though broad and willing, were weak and myself surrounded by such circumstances and such people that I knew not whom to trust, then I said in my extremity, “I will send for Colonel Taylor; he will know what to do.” I think it was in January 1862, on or about the 16th, that I did so. You came, and I said to you, “What shall we do?” Said you, “Why, issue treasury notes bearing no interest, printed on the best banking paper. Issue enough to pay off the army expenses, and declare it legal tender.” Chase thought it a hazardous thing, but we finally accomplished it, and gave to the people of this Republic the greatest blessing they ever had – their own paper to pay off their own debts. It is due to you, the father of the present greenback that the people should know it, and I take great pleasure in making it known. How many times I have laughed at you telling me plainly that I was too lazy to be anything but a lawyer.
The present position of the monetary system, which is the beginnings of its complete breakdown, is the living reductio ‘ad absurdum’ of a proposition which first formulated itself in man’s consciousness thousands of years ago, which has since been worked out in human flesh and blood, and which has now reached its illogical conclusion in this century.
[…]
The present monetary mechanism is “obsolete” because it derives from dark and unsuspected throw-backs in the human subconscious. It is only by realizing and admitting that these dark places in the subconscious are part of the traditional pathology of idolatry that we can connect the workings of the present system not only with such visible evidences of destruction and sacrifice as the toleration of unemployment in a society where actual employment constitutes the only claim to independent existence; with the sabotage of plant and commodities and the restriction of production, on a large and increasing scale, side by side with the fact of partial or total destitution for millions throughout civilization; with the imminence of a second international war in a world which dreads it, which cannot “afford” it, and which prays for peace: but also with the desperate sense of frustration, resulting in suicide, mental illness, neurosis, involuntary cynicism and disillusionment, and every variety of psychological perversion or inversion which is the unfortunate inheritance, or developed experience, of every sensitive person who responds to or is brave enough to exercise his creative impulse in life as it is to-day. It is particularly necessary to realize this, because we have so long been the victims of the vagaries, stupidities and the monstrous injustices of the monetary system, that large sections of the population in every country have come to regard even the acutest forms of material and psychological misery as part of the natural order of things.

“THE demographics of Singapore’s multiracial citizen population has remained stable for five decades, at approximately 75% Chinese, 15% Malay, and 8% Indian, and 2% other.
“The Singaporean government stated that they have a “commitment to maintain the racial balance in the citizen population, [which] enables us to preserve social stability and the multiracial character of our society” (source).
“Since Chinese are the majority demographic, I presume this actually means “we need to stop the Indians and Malays from outnumbering us.” Only ~60% of Singapore’s total population are citizens, eligible to vote, hold office, etc.
“Of the remaining ~40% who are politically disenfranchised, ~10% are ‘permanent residents’ and ~30% are ‘non-residents.’ According to the 2010 census, ~43% of Singapore’s total population were foreign born.
“Not a situation that any Western country should emulate, but it does prove that you can maintain stability simply by refusing citizenship to immigrants.”
Since the founding of Hamas in 1987, Israeli, American and Palestinian officials have repeatedly acknowledged that Israel did indeed help create and fund the Islamist group.
The point made by many of these officials is not that Israel “allowed” the rise of Hamas or that Hamas emerged in response to Israeli “occupation” of Palestine. Rather, their point was and is that Israel’s intelligence agencies actively helped create and finance the Hamas group.
As the officials cited below make clear, the overall goal of supporting Hamas has been to thwart the creation of a Palestinian state and avert the implementation of a two-state solution to the Palestine question. From Israel’s perspective, a two-state solution would reduce Israel’s territory to the internationally recognized pre-1967 borders, prohibit any future territorial expansion, and prevent the recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital city.
More specifically, supporting the Islamist Hamas group has served several Israeli objectives at once: first, it undermined Yasser Arafat’s secular nationalist PLO; second, it helped prevent the implementation of the 1993 Oslo Accords; third, it undermined the Palestinian National Authority and isolated Gaza from the Westbank; fourth, it impeded Western support for the Palestinian cause; and fifth, it justified Israeli (counter-)attacks on Palestinian territory.
O Virgin Immaculate, Mother of God and my Mother, from thy sublime height turn upon me thine eyes of pity. Filled with confidence in thy goodness and knowing full well thy power, I beseech thee to extend to me thine assistance in the journey of life, which is so full of dangers for my soul. And in order that I may never be the slave of the devil through sin, but may ever live with my heart humble and pure, I entrust myself wholly to thee. I consecrate my heart to thee for ever, my only desire being to love thy divine Son Jesus. Mary, none of thy devout servants has ever perished; may I too be saved. Amen.
This truth of Mary’s Immaculate Conception, which was revealed to the Apostles by the divine Son of Mary, inherited by the Church, taught by the Holy Fathers, believed by each generation of the Christian people with an ever increasing explicitness, this truth, we say, was implied in the very notion of a Mother of God. To believe that Mary was Mother of God, was implicitly believing that she, on whom this sublime dignity was conferred, had never been defiled with the slightest stain of sin, and that God had bestowed upon her an absolute exemption from sin. But now, the Immaculate Conception of Mary rests on an explicit Definition dictated by the Holy Ghost. Peter has spoken by the mouth of Pope Pius; and when Peter has spoken, every Christian should believe; for the Son of God has said: I have prayed for thee, Peter, that thy faith fail not. (Luke 22:32) And again: The Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring all things to your mind, whatsoever I shall have said to you. (John 16:26) Read More »
GERMAN judge, Anne Meier-Goering, ruled last week that eight men who gang-raped a 15-year-old girl in Hamburg should receive no jail time. She sentenced an additional rapist to two years in prison. At least four of the men were from the Middle East and the perpetrators recorded their acts, including beating the girl, on their phones. From The Blaze:
Among the so-called expert witnesses was psychiatrist Nahlah Saimeh. Saimeh intimated that the gang rape may have been a means to let off some of the “frustration” that supposedly comes with “migration experiences and socio-cultural homelessness.”
Saimeh said rapists “who live on the margins of society, completely uprooted culturally, linguistically and socially” might face a “mix of emotions of anger, sadness, powerlessness, depression, fantasies of grandeur as a compensation attempt to cope with one’s own misery, and drug use.”
“Disordered, unprepared migration experiences and socio-cultural homelessness increase the risk of addiction and psychosis,” said the so-called expert. Sex, she continued, could serve as a “means of releasing frustration and anger.”
The psychiatrist further suggested that gang rape fosters identity and strengthens group feeling.
Are feminists around the world up in arms about this ruling? Of course not. Being part of the Marxist, anti-white revolution, feminists only criticize white men and consider non-white men their allies in the struggle to defeat Western (read: Christian) hegemony and bring about a world of utopian peace, which in fact, as can be seen already in much of Europe, is a hell on earth for women.
FROMThe Christmas Book by Francis Weiser (St. Augustine Academy Press, 1952), p. 152:
One of the most beloved of all the Saints long ago was St. Nicholas of Myra. In many parts of Europe children still believe St. Nicholas appears to them on the eve of his Feast (December sixth) laden with gifts. His role is that of a heavenly messenger, coming at the beginning of Advent and admonishing little children to prepare their hearts for properly welcoming the Christ Child at Christmas. He is usually impersonated by a man wearing a long white beard, dressed in the vestments of a bishop, with miter and crozier, a friendly and saintly figure, who comes down from heaven once a year to visit the children, whose patron saint he is. He examines them, questioning them on their Catechism and hearing their prayers. After entreating them to be good boys and girls and to get ready for a devout and holy Christmas, he distributes candy and fruit and departs with a loving farewell, leaving the little ones filled with holy awe and joy.”
In America, his image has, as Fisheaters put it, “been mixed up with a lot of traits and imagery from sources as disparate as the poetry of Clement Moore, pagan Norse mythology, and American advertising.”
A wealth of information about St. Nicholas, both legendary and real, can be found at the St. Nicholas Center:
Was St. Nicholas real? Yes, he was a real 4th century Greek bishop who lived in Asia Minor, along the Mediterranean coast.
Was St. Nicholas a Turk? No, Nicholas was Greek, living in a Greek province (Lycia, Asia Minor) that was part of the Roman Empire, centuries before Turks came. The region was Lycia, now in modern-day Turkey.
Was Santa/St. Nicholas a pagan god? The Germanic god Thor may have influenced Santa’s characteristics somewhat, but Santa primarily developed from the real bishop St. Nicholas.
An ancient English hymn, a Bulgarian song and a popular American tune, all dedicated to the saint, are sung below. From Godes Druth, written by the English hermit St. Godric of Finchale in the 12th century:
Saint Nicholas, God’s beloved,
Build for us a fair bright house;
At the birth, at the bier,
Saint Nicholas, bring us safely there.
Saint Nicholas, glorious Confessor of Christ, assist us in thy loving kindness.
“WHY, we ask, ever since men have been men — or rather since they became civilized — why have men in all times and places been irresistibly borne to differentiate and divide the functions of the two sexes? Do we not have here strict testimony to the recognition by all mankind of a truth and a law above man?
“To sum up, wherever women wear men’s dress, it is be considered a factor, over the long term, in disintegrating human order.” [bold added]
Angelus ad virginem is a medieval carolthat has been sung continuously for about 700 years. It was brought to Britain by French friars in the 13th or 14th century. The oldest surviving appearance of the carol is in a manuscript from 1360.
Based on the Hail Mary, this cheerful carol remains popular with choral ensembles today. To be fair, it truly deserves the title of popular music.
(I’m sorry, but I do not know who is performing this wonderful version.)
Translation from the Latin:
Angelus ad virginem
The angel came to the Virgin,
entering secretly into her room;
calming the Virgin’s fear, he said, “Hail!
Hail, queen of virgins:
you will conceive the Lord of heaven and earth
and bear him, still a virgin,
to be the salvation of mankind;
you will be made the gate of heaven,
the cure of sins. Read More »
TODAY is the feast day of St. Barbara. Like many Catholic women in history, this saint of the third century was no stranger to controversy:
Barbara — one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers — was the beautiful daughter of a rich and powerful pagan named Dioscuros. She grew up in Nikomedia (in modern Turkey). To keep her a virgin, her father locked her in a tower when he was away, a tower with only two windows. Upon his return from one journey, he found three windows in the tower instead of two. When he asked Barbara about this, she confessed that she’d become a Christian after being baptized by a priest disguised as a physician, and that she’d asked that a third window be made as a symbol of the Holy Trinity.
She was then denounced by her father, who was ordered by the local authorities to put her to death. She escaped from her tower, but her father caught and killed her. When he dealt the death blow, he was immediately struck by lightning. (Source)
St. Barbara is a patroness of the dying. For approved prayers for her intercession, go here.
