British Imperialism and Irish Genocide

October 18, 2022

FROM Chris Fogarty’s book Ireland 1845-1850: The Perfect Holocaust And Who Kept It “Perfect:”

What England extracted from its colonies varied from country to country. In addition to usurping the land for distribution to its Crown- connected undertakers, it also looted the colony’s other resources. For example, from Australia from 1851 through 1862, after the easiest gold was gone, 21 million additional ounces of gold were taken into the British Government’s Gold room in Melbourne. Fertile Ireland’s main resource was the human energy that produced a torrent of agricultural products. The Irish were made tenants on their own land, and forced to pay rents that consumed most of their year’s labor. With force supplied by the British army, Irish output was commandeered by English landlords (many if not most absentees) on the basis that the English, not the Irish, owned the land on which it was produced.

Anglo Self-Worship

October 18, 2022

The Faustus character, from whom we get “Faustian bargain”, is believed to have been based on John Dee. (1620 printing of Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus.

FROM a 2017 article by Jude Duffy at Fitzpatrick Informer:

John Dee, the occult magician at the court of Elizabeth I, was apparently the first person to coin the term “British Empire”, so from the very get go the Empire was an occult cabalist project—all its main propagandists, and indeed actors, being occultists of one sort or another.

According to Stuart Piggot’s book The Druids, Dee “grew up surrounded by the controversy and currents” of what became known as the British Empire—and “sought to merge the Arthurian Imperial tradition with cabalistic interpretations of Hebrew scripture”.

“Dee created the concept of British Israel, which gave the British and the Jews a common racial identity, and invoked biblical prophecy to show the inevitable triumph of British imperialism, the British as Abraham’s seed were to inherit the earth.”

Far from being simply an ethnocentric take on Biblical Christianity, Dee’s pseudo-genealogical supremacist theory was steeped in pagan druidism, being “Christian” only in the sense that New Age pantheism is “Christian”, i.e., it co-opted elements of Christian doctrine and ritual, the better to insinuate itself almost effortlessly into the mainstream of British Christian life.

For Joe A.

October 17, 2022


 

JOE had read this site from the very beginning, back in 2009, and for many years, he sent me links to interesting news, almost every day. He was a fighting patriot, a family man and a Ham radio enthusiast who had retired involuntarily from his career in finance because of poor health.

I hadn’t heard from him for a while and thought maybe he finally gave up on this site because I disliked Donald Trump. (I never get upset when someone stops reading me. After all, I get pretty sick of me too. In fact, I’m surprised anyone does read it.) But something didn’t seem right. I finally did a little research and unhappily learned of Joe’s death at the age of 57 several months ago. He left behind his wife and two teenaged sons.

I was  saddened to know Joe was gone. I send my sincere condolences to his family and pray for his eternal rest.

 

Resisting the Attilas

October 17, 2022

FROM The World at the Cross Roads by Boris Brasol (Hutchinson, 1921):

There can be no compromise with the Attilas of the Twentieth Century. To compromise is to surrender. It is only the coward who surrenders in face of impending danger. There is no other issue than to accept the challenge. The strategic plan of the enemy is known. There is no mystery about it. This plan itself predetermines the measures of defense to be adopted by those who are attacked. The enemy preaches class hatred. The answer to this challenge is cooperation between the classes. The enemy strives for economic destruction, which must be counteracted by economic construction. The enemy seeks to undermine religious faith. Accordingly, the consolidation of religious faith and the fight against atheism must be urged. The enemy spreads the plague of internationalism. There is no other way to combat this plague than by giving support to the national ideal and national tradition. The enemy appeals to the ignorant. He uses the ignorance of the masses as a means of throwing them under his control. Ignorance can and must be combated by education. The enemy is trying to dissolve the family because it is the nucleus of the present social order. There is probably no task more urgent to-day than the protection of the family and its stabilization. The enemy has declared war on art and beauty, and accordingly, it has become the duty of the enlightened part of humanity to cultivate art and beauty, to disarm brutality by aesthetics, to bring nearer to the masses the immortal creations of genius. Such are the lines of defense, such are the tactics. Read More »

Common Sense Has Evaporated

October 12, 2022

COMMON SENSE is the basic wisdom that comes from everyday encounters with reality. You don’t have to be super-smart to have common sense. You just have to live in the real world, not a make-believe world.

Not many people today have common sense. The smarter someone is, the less likely he is to have it. Schools have destroyed common sense. Television propaganda has destroyed it. Myth and lies presented as “history” have destroyed it. Movies and spectacles have immersed people in make-believe, drenched them with illusions. In a totalitarian society such as ours, people have to abandon the truth just to survive and put food on the table. The lie is all.

The belief that truth is subjective and that objective reality doesn’t even exist has also so softened the cognitive faculties that sense cannot penetrate. The windows are shut. The blinds are drawn. The mind is darkened and dormant. No one’s home.

Common sense is now uncommon.

Sadly, you cannot talk much with people who lack common sense. It’s a dead end. Read More »

 

A Speech by Marcus Garvey

October 11, 2022


MARCUS GARVEY, the enormously popular black nationalist leader, gave this speech in 1920.

“In 1916, Marcus Garvey established the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) Branch in Harlem. Emphasizing unity between Africans and the African diaspora. He campaigned for an end to European colonial rule across Africa, and the political unification of the continent. He envisioned a unified Africa as a one-party state that would enact laws to ensure Black racial purity.

“He was committed to the Back-to-Africa movement, arguing that many African-Americans should migrate there. The UNIA grew in membership and Garveyism ideas became increasingly popular. Garvey was a dramatic and invigorating public speaker. Harlem History features one of Garvey’s most powerful speeches from 1920, on Leadership and Black Empowerment.” (Video notes at Youtube)

The Attack on Columbus Day

October 10, 2022

ROBERT ROBBINS of CatholicEclipsed defends the celebration of Columbus Day.

Please don’t call the holiday celebrated today “Indigenous People’s Day.” Those who have conceived this particular deconstruction of the past have no concern for the true welfare of the “indigenous” and are simply using their descendants as pawns in the project to overturn Christian civilization for good.

As Robbins explains, Christopher Columbus was not a saint, but he was an undeniably great man who fulfilled a noble mission. Here is Pope Leo XIII in his encyclical on Columbus, Quarto Abeunte Saeculo:

He was distinguished by this unique note, that in his work of traversing and retraversing immense tracts of ocean, he looked for a something greater and higher than did these others. We say not that he was unmoved by perfectly honourable aspirations after knowledge, and deserving well of human society; nor did he despise glory, which is a most engrossing ideal to great souls; nor did he altogether scorn a hope of advantages to himself; but to him far before all these human considerations was the consideration of his ancient faith, which questionless dowered him with strength of mind and will, and often strengthened and consoled him in the midst of the greatest difficulties. This view and aim is known to have possessed his mind above all; namely, to open a way for the Gospel over new lands and seas.

Comedy without Resentment

October 7, 2022

ALAN writes:

As another example of the kind of television entertainment that Americans found rewarding in 1959 in comparison to today, continuing from my previous essay, I offer the following:

This memory is from Tuesday nights in the midst of winter in the years 1958-1961. My mother was very selective in the matter of TV entertainment, but one variety program earned her approval and favor — and mine.

Many years afterward, Carol Burnett wrote, “…too few people remember what a fabulous weekly comedy variety show Garry Moore hosted…”  [Carol Burnett, This Time Together, Three Rivers Press, 2010, p. 48]

Indeed true. But I am one of those few. From the little man pushing a lawnmower in the opening scene to the unforgettable scene at the close, I remember it clearly and fondly. It was an hour-long variety program, filled with comedy sketches and highly-polished song and dance routines — and all of it in black and white. It never occurred to us for a moment that color could have made it better.

Garry Moore, who started out in radio, was a family man. Read More »

The Illusion of Sexual Freedom

October 5, 2022

Lust, Pieter Van Der Heyden; 1558

Lust, Pieter Van Der Heyden; 1558

[T]HE effect of treating sex as only one innocent natural thing [is] that every other innocent natural thing [becomes] soaked and sodden with sex. For sex cannot be admitted to a mere equality among elementary emotions or experiences like eating and sleeping. The moment sex ceases to be a servant it becomes a tyrant. There is something dangerous and disproportionate in its place in human nature, for whatever reason; and it does really need a special purification and dedication. The modern talk about sex being free like any other sense, about the body being beautiful like any tree or flower, is either a description of the Garden of Eden or a piece of thoroughly bad psychology, of which the world grew weary two thousand years ago.”

— G.K. Chesterton, St. Francis of Assisi, Image Books, 1957; p. 29

 

 

The Guardian Angels

October 4, 2022

[The Feast of the Guardian Angels was on Sunday. I would like to have reposted this entry then, but due to circumstances could not.]

THE knowledge that distinct and individual angels watch over human beings has existed for thousands of years. Nabopolassar, father of Nebuchadnezzar the Great, said: “He (Marduk) sent a tutelary deity (cherub) of grace to go at my side; in everything that I did, he made my work to succeed.”

In the Bible this doctrine is clearly discernible and its development is well marked. In Genesis 28-29, angels not only act as the executors of God’s wrath against the cities of the plain, but they deliver Lot from danger; in Exodus 12-13, an angel is the appointed leader of the host of Israel, and in 32:34, God says to Moses: “my angel shall go before thee.” At a much later period we have the story of Tobias, which might serve for a commentary on the words of Psalm 90:11: “For he hath given his angels charge over thee; to keep thee in all thy ways.” (Cf. Psalm 33:8 and 34:5) Lastly, in Daniel 10 angels are entrusted with the care of particular districts; one is called “prince of the kingdom of the Persians”, and Michael is termed “one of the chief princes”; cf. Deuteronomy 32:8 (Septuagint); and Ecclesiasticus 17:17 (Septuagint). (Source)

This knowledge of angelic presences grew through the ages through the aid of divine revelation and apparitions, such as that of the Guardian Angel of Portugal who appeared to the children of Fatima 100 years ago and the Guardian Angel who appeared to Tundale the 12th century Irish knight after he fell into unconsciousness. Tundale was never the same again.

Fra Filippo Lippi

Angels, far more intelligent than human beings, are pure spirit and can travel as speedily as our thoughts. They number in the millions, both on earth and in heaven, where they ceaselessly adore God. They may be the best of friends but most don’t know it. With this in mind, we should rely less on our own powers and seek the protection and intercession of these holy friends. “The providence of God, always infinitely wise, infinitely holy, and infinitely gracious, vouchsafes to employ superior created beings in the execution of his will in various dispensations towards other inferior creatures.” (Butler’s Lives of the Saints)

The Russia-Ukraine Conflict Is Contrived

October 3, 2022

FROM the blog of the Protestant writer Andrew Mackinnon*:

The Russia-Ukraine conflict conveniently came into the view of the citizens of countries around the world, courtesy of the mainstream media, and completely eclipsed and replaced the criminal fraud of non-existent COVID-19 and associated mandates at a time when opposition to this criminal fraud was rapidly growing among citizens of countries around the world and when this criminal fraud was therefore being abandoned by its perpetrators.

All indications point to the Russia-Ukraine conflict being deliberately contrived by the Rothschilds-led synagogue of Satan (irrespective of any legitimate basis this conflict has, which can be interpreted as plausible deniability of this deliberate contrivance) in order to dominate the narrative associated with world affairs and to thereby provide a justification for economic turmoil and general disruption in countries around the world, as a pretext for advancing the agenda of the Rothschilds-led synagogue of Satan to establish world government involving draconian, oppressive, satanic rule.

*I am not very familiar with MacKinnon’s work, though I agree with this post and others. As with all links here, this is not a blanket endorsement.

 

 

An Extraordinary Night Sky

September 29, 2022

TERRY Morris writes:

Thanks for writing about the Jupiter event. I own an 8 inch Newtonian Reflector on an equatorial mount (we plan to upgrade to a 10″ in the not too distant future). The kids and I have been looking at and studying the subject in question once or twice a week for the last month or so. Saturn is up as well, in Sagitarius (and Mars comes up during the early morning hours, from our line of sight), although its (Saturn’s) rings are not as favorably prominent as they have been in our past experiences viewing them through the telescope. One reliable test of a telescopes optics is whether or not they can resolve Cassini’s Division in Saturn’s rings. Read More »
