The Purpose of Propaganda

“POLITICAL correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.” -- Theodore Dalrymple

Playing the H-Card

SECRETARY of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas responds to criticism for his refusal to protect the southern border.

Below, from 2015, Biden envisions “an unrelenting stream of immigration” and says “people of European descent will be in the absolute minority.” Mayorkas sits next to him.

An Angry Little Boy

A MOTHER, in an interview at Children's Health Defense, describes the sudden personality changes in her son at the age of two. Years later, after continuing problems, a brain scan revealed heavy metals. The only source of these, she concluded after much research, was the childhood vaccines he had received.

“This Groundhog Was Special”

HAVE you ever seen a groundhog? Up close?

I have. And I will never forget it. He was just a few inches away. I had seen them many times from afar. But never so close.

I can assure you, they are the most hideous animals — all waddling, distended stomach and long, sharp, threatening claws. Shockingly ugly and destructive, that’s a groundhog for you. They are so unpopular there is no record at all of human affection for them. No one keeps a groundhog for a pet, even in this age of fanaticism. Many amateur methods of killing these creatures have been devised. Some peaceful souls learn to use a gun for the sole purpose of killing groundhogs.

Groundhog Day is an obscene joke. It makes about as much sense as “Vulture Day” or “Black Widow Spider Day.” When life is stripped of meaningful ritual and festivity, people come up with some truly sick ideas. Anyone who gathers in a group with excitement, waiting to see a disgusting, ravenous groundhog emerge from a hole, is, well, in serious need of better things to do. (more…)

A Candlemas Miracle in Old England

"WHILE Dunstan's mother was pregnant with her holy unborn child, the feast of the Purification of the blessed ever-virgin Mary shone forth. People from all the surrounding area flocked to the church dedicated to the Virgin in Glastonbury, to render the service of devotion at this great festival to Christ, the King of Kings. The boy's father Heorstan went with his wife, Cynethryth, to be present with their lighted candles at the Mass. During the service, it began to be read how the child Jesus was brought by his parents to the temple. And suddenly the glory of the Lord appeared in the temple: all the lights were extinguished, and the whole building was plunged into darkness by a thick mist. A cold fear crept through the congregation, their hair stood on end, their knees knocked together; they stood paralysed and stupefied by fear. But - so that all that the Lord intended should be made clear - suddenly a light from heaven blazed forth in the temple, and lit the candle which the pregnant woman bore in her hand. If they had marvelled at the loss of light, now they marvelled still more at its appearance!" The Clerk of Oxford tells more about these strange events on Candlemas in tenth century England.

The Feast of the Purification

[Revised and reposted]

IT’S Groundhog Day in America and Crepe Day in France. These empty customs fill the void where the beautiful and uplifting Feast of the Purification of Mary, also known as Candlemas Day, the liturgical end to the Christmas season, once was — and still is to the few.

“All the mysteries of the Man-God have for their object the purifying of our hearts,” said the renowned Dom Prosper Guéranger. And so it is with Candlemas. It’s “a day of purification, renewal, hope, an honoring of obedience, and light.”

A young couple and their infant, turtle doves, an ornate temple and two wizened figures filled with mystical fervor.

These are the vital elements of this day. “The most pure and beautiful Virgin, in obedience to the law, presented the child Jesus in the temple, offering a couple of turtle-doves for her purification, and five sicles as a ransom for her first-born, Jesus,” wrote Guéranger.

“Freedom” and the Inner Life

FROM Fr. James F. Wathen's The Great Sacrilege: ... The Revolution cannot tolerate the solitary man, the self-possessed man, the contemplative, the man who does not need to be forced to conform. The Revolution incessantly repeats the word 'freedom.' What it means by this word is that every man should free himself from the laws and self-preserving instincts of his own nature, that he should dispossess himself of all inner strength, restraint, and virtue, to say nothing of the inner dominance of Christ by His truth and grace. The purpose of corrupting a person is to put him at the disposal of his fallen nature; the purpose of destroying his faith and of dispossessing him of all certainty is that he will have to be controlled from without. The Revolution means to unshackle a man interiorly, that it may have the excuse of encircling him with the mindless mob (which the 'Community' is), of regimenting him, binding him, and putting him under guard. Despising virtue, which is man’s mastery of himself by the power of Christ, even being unable to comprehend it, the Revolution cannot conceive a community of truly free men, nor the idea of peace through the rule of the Spirit of God. The true Revolutionary cannot stand to be alone, to be in silence, to be inactive. In such a condition he would either go mad or find God. Because of his own spiritual vacuity and restlessness, and because…

Our Fake Money System

THE issue neither presidential candidate will ever discuss is explained in this podcast by Legalman, who loses his cool a couple of times unfortunately but does a good job explaining the basics.

The fake money system is at the root of all the fakery.

Staged Opposition in Texas?

PEGGY HALL rightfully expresses skepticism about the “Take Back Our Border” Convoy heading to Texas.

As I see it, this ruckus at the border serves to drum up support for that heinous traitor, Donald Trump, and for election-time drama between two heinous traitors, one of whom will be our next oppressor-in-chief.

“Keep ’em fighting so they don’t look at how we’re ripping them all off.”

That’s the game plan of the organized crime syndicate that is the federal government. (more…)
