An "orchestrated 'White rebellion' that was designed to make Whites look like reactionary, barbaric fools who are easily duped by 'fake news.'" Below, police deliberately shepherd "far left" protestors in Liverpool to confront "far right" protestors.
TEAM WOMAN is off to a roaring start. Remember, a woman can do no wrong. A vote against her is a vote against every woman who ever lived.
[Reposted] "WHEN about thirty years of age, I accepted for a time the doctrine of Woman Suffrage, and publicly defended it. "Years of wide and careful observation have convinced me that the demand for Woman Suffrage in America is without foundation in equity, and, if successful, must prove harmful to American society. "I find some worthy women defending it, but the majority of our best women, especially our most intelligent, domestic, and godly mothers, neither ask for nor desire it. The instinct of motherhood is against it. The basal conviction of our best manhood is against it. The movement is at root a protest against the representative relations and functions by virtue of which each sex depends upon and is exalted by the other. This theory and policy, tending to the subversion of the natural and divine order, must make man less a man, and woman less a woman. "A distinguished woman advocate of this suffrage movement says, 'We need the ballot to protect us against men.' When one sex is compelled thus to protect itself against the other, the foundations of society are already crumbling. "Woman now makes man what he is. She controls him as a babe, boy, manly son, brother, lover, husband, father. Her influence is enormous. If she use it wisely, she needs no additional power. If she abuse her opportunity, she deserves no additional responsibility. Her womanly weight, now without measure, will be limited to the…
"At His Transfiguration Christ showed His disciples the splendor of His beauty, to which He will shape and color those who are His." - St. Thomas Aquinas
"THE Apostle Peter, therefore, being stirred by the revelation of these mysteries, despising things worldly and scorning things earthly, was carried away by a certain excess of mind to the desire of things eternal; and, being filled with rapture at the whole vision, longed to make his abode with Jesus in the place where he was gladdened by the sight of His glory. And so also he says: Lord, it is good for us to be here: if Thou wilt, let us set up here three tents, one for Thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. But to this proposal the Lord made no reply, signifying that what he asked was not indeed wicked, but irregular; since the world could not be saved except by Christ's death, and by the Lord's example in this the faithful were called upon to believe, that, although there ought not to be any doubt about the promises of happiness, yet we should understand that, amid the trials of this life, we must ask for power to endure, rather than for glory." --- Sermon of St. Leo, Pope (from the Roman Breviary)
AT that time, Jesus taketh unto him Peter and James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart: And he was transfigured before them. And his face did shine as the sun: and his garments became white as snow. And behold there appeared to them Moses and Elias talking with him. And Peter answering, said to Jesus: Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. And as he was yet speaking, behold a bright cloud overshadowed them. And lo, a voice out of the cloud, saying: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased: hear ye him. And the disciples hearing, fell upon their face, and were very much afraid. And Jesus came and touched them: and said to them, Arise, and fear not. And they lifting up their eyes saw no one but only Jesus. And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying: Tell the vision to no man, till the Son of man be risen from the dead. --- Matthew, xvii 1-9
"PROBLEM, reaction, solution." The goal of the Southport hoax is to demonize "far-right extremists" and implement more intense government surveillance and security measures. Those in power want engineered civil unrest so they can prevent true civil unrest.
FROM Notes on the State of Virginia by Thomas Jefferson (1787):
[T]hey should continue with their parents to a certain age, then be brought up, at the public expence, to tillage, arts or sciences, according to their geniusses, till the females should be eighteen, and the males twenty-one years of age, when they should be colonized to such place as the circumstances of the time should render most proper, sending them out with arms, implements of household and of the handicraft arts, seeds, pairs of the useful domestic animals, &c. to declare them a free and independent people, and extend to them our alliance and protection, till they have acquired strength; and to send vessels at the same time to other parts of the world for an equal number of white inhabitants; to induce whom to migrate hither, proper encouragements were to be proposed. It will probably be asked, Why not retain and incorporate the blacks into the state, and thus save the expence of supplying, by importation of white settlers, the vacancies they will leave? Deep rooted prejudices entertained by the whites; ten thousand recollections, by the blacks, of the injuries they have sustained; new provocations; the real distinctions which nature has made; and many other circumstances, will divide us into parties, and produce convulsions which will probably never end but in the extermination of the one or the other race.—To these objections, which are political, may be added others, which are physical and moral.

"ONE of the worst effects which Adam’s sin produced in us, was its blinding our reason by means of the passions, which darkened the mind. O how miserable is the soul that allows itself to be ruled by any of the passions! Passion is a vapour, a veil, which will not suffer us to see the truth. How can he fly from evil, who knows not what is evil? Our mental obscurity increases in proportion as our sins increase." -- St. Alphonsus de Liguori
THE suspect in the alleged Southport stabbings is a confirmed actor. From The Daily Mail:
Footage unearthed by MailOnline shows Axel Rudakubana, then aged 11, emerging from the Tardis in David Tennant’s trademark trenchcoat and tie – before urging the nation to help children by getting involved in fundraising.
The clip featuring Rudakubana, filmed in Blackpool in 2018, was deleted earlier today by both the BBC and the Ology child talent agency that represented him. (more…)

Just about everyone in my circle is what would be termed a “conservative”, i.e. supportive of the Republican party and Trump, very supportive of America, “freedom”, and the capitalist/consumerist system. I put quotation marks around the word “freedom” because the American conservative uses the word in its post-Enlightenment connotation, basically being free to do what one wants, as opposed to its traditional or classical meaning of being free of one’s own passions.
This week, I was approached by three friends about the pummeling of a female Olympic boxer by someone suspected of being a trans/male (I’m not really sure of the proper term). (more…)
IN 1854, a slave in Washington, D.C., along with her two daughters, was provided with references so that she could seek new masters. The three were being offered for sale for $1,800 — the equivalent of about $67,000 in today’s currency.
Here are their references:
The bearer, Mary Jane, and her two daughters, are for sale. They are sold for no earthly fault whatever. She is one of the most ladylike and trustworthy servants I ever knew. She is a first rate parlour servant; can arrange and set out a dinner or party supper with as much taste as the most of white ladies. She is a pretty good mantua maker; can cut out and make vests and pantaloons and roundabouts and joseys for little boys in a first rate manner. Her daughters’ ages are eleven and thirteen years, brought up exclusively as house servants. The eldest can sew neatly, both can knit stockings; and all are accustomed to all kinds of house work. They would not be sold to speculators or traders for any price whatever. (more…)

We met when you were still in your glory days in the 1950s and when I was a wee lad. Among my earliest memories of you are the colorful parades and bands who marched along Washington Avenue through the garment district, where thousands of people worked in companies that made clothing, hats, and shoes; when my father took me downtown and we walked along the cobblestones on the riverfront; and when my mother and I stepped aboard the majestic S.S Admiral for a river cruise from downtown to Jefferson Barracks.
As I grew up, you continued to flourish in the early 1960s when groups of businessmen expressed confidence and optimism in the pages of their Downtown Newsletter.
Goodbye to the Ambassador Theater and Lowe’s State Theater, Miss Hulling’s Cafeterias, the Forum Cafeteria, and the Pope’s Cafeterias. And to the old Sheraton-Jefferson Hotel, with its attractive lobby, bank of pay telephones, Gas House Room, and elegant Gold Room, where actress Lucille Ball spoke one winter evening in 1965.
Goodbye to the big Woolworth and Kresge dime stores, Hunleth Music on Broadway, the Mark Twain Hotel, the Old Spaghetti Factory, and the magnificent Union Station, where we greeted loved ones when they arrived on passenger trains in the 1950s.
Goodbye to the masculine police officers –never women– who directed traffic at busy intersections, and to the streetcars and many bus routes that crisscrossed downtown.
Goodbye to the magazine departments in drug stores and department stores, to Gladys at the Baldwin Piano Company, and to my good friend Mr. T. and the Catholic book store on Olive Street where he worked.
When she worked as a secretary before getting married, one of my cousins lived downtown in the Evangeline Residence, and she had fond memories of the Orient Restaurant on North Seventh Street. (more…)
"IF YOU choose to lump all flowers together, lilies, and dahlias and tulips and chrysanthemums and call them daisies, you will find that you have spoiled the very fine word daisy ... It is barbaric and reactionary to destroy cultural distinctions between one thing and another, because it is like rubbing out all the lines of a fine drawing." --- G.K. Chesterton, What's Wrong with the World
