Emotionally-charged imagery from Waukesha. It proves nothing.

EVERY SINGLE massacre in the news should be considered — if considered at all — with detachment and skepticism, especially highly-charged events that tug at the heartstrings and are relentlessly publicized. There is too much evidence of past staging to take anything for granted. To that end, Winter Watch recently examined the alleged SUV attack which killed six people in Waukesha, Wisconsin last month. This time there may not have even been crisis actors. It may have involved just computer-generated imagery. (See the video discussion.) Read More »

CHRISTMAS, they say, is about the Incarnation of God — the mysterious, improbable and incomprehensible birth of God Himself as a human baby in a single moment of history.

But if you think about it for a minute or two, if you just think about it, you realize that if this is true then, well, Christmas must be about everything.

Christmas couldn’t just be about Christmas.

It couldn’t be just about a holiday with decorated trees and lights and carols and gifts. It couldn’t be just about Christmas prayers, as sublime and essential as they may be in their highest and most exalted manifestation, the ancient Christ Mass. It couldn’t possibly be just about these things.

No, Christmas must be, if it is what they say it is and if it was what they say it was, it must be about everything. Every single thing. Every single person. Every single moment. Every single place. Every single thought. Every single event.

Haven’t you sensed that already?

Haven’t you sensed on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day that something deeply personal was happening — something that was strangely and mysteriously about you? 

Well, even if you haven’t sensed that, it was. It had to be about you. And everyone who has ever lived.

It couldn’t just be this one divine Baby — it must be about every baby. It must be about people who have long since ceased to resemble the babies they once were.

It couldn’t just be about Bethlehem. It must be about San Francisco. It must be about Hong Kong and Moscow and — what’s that city in Saudi Arabia — Riyadh. It must be about Tulsa and Marseilles.

It couldn’t just be about the donkey Mary rode along those dirt roads. It must be about all donkeys and also all modes of transportation, including planes lifting off right this minute from teeming airports, freight trucks roaring down superhighways and baby strollers with their unpredictable passengers, adorable to be sure but not as holy as Jesus.

DR. Thomas Cowan, author of The Contagion Myth, discusses in this video the genesis of the latest bogeyman, the “Omicron” Variant. This really is like dissecting a fairy tale and explaining how the monster emerged from the forest. People are getting sick, and once again we see all sickness blamed on a fiction and people driven to panic, which makes them only sicker.

“TALES OF CHESTER” continues here with a few words from my husband, A. Wood, on the season of Advent:

EVERY self-respecting kid in Chester was a school resister, possessing an instinctive and deeply-rooted sense of the dignity of human freedom. But Sonny Trenjic [pronounced TRENCH-ick] raised the art of dodging school to a new level.

One day in early December, Sister St. Reginald (they called her “Reggie”) asked Sonny’s sister, Babe, why he was absent from his eighth-grade class. Babe said that a terrible mishap had occurred at home. Sonny was conducting an extra-curricular science experiment. He was attempting to electrocute a spider — for the greater cause, of course — and the spider bit him, seriously injuring his hand.

           In the annals of truancy, this was a dazzling masterpiece.

But, even artistry at this exalted level could not disarm the hardened prejudices of Sister Reggie. She stopped what she was doing and left her class in the charge of a student proctor.

She marched to the Trenjic house. She knocked on the door. Without further ado, she snagged the un-injured Sonny by the collar. The fugitive was then escorted back to class. This was all part of a nun’s job profile. She physically, as well as spiritually, battled the forces of evil. The profane waged its ceaseless war with the sacred in the streets and living rooms of this small industrial city by the rat-gray Delaware River. Reggie and the other sisters were the shock troops.

The profane weakened during the four-week liturgical season of Advent. Our small, darkened minds were uplifted with greater frequency to the supernatural as the lamps in row houses brightened the encroaching night. Expectation was in the air. Let’s be clear: It was anticipation, not fulfillment. Thanksgiving was still Thanksgiving. It wouldn’t have remotely crossed our minds to go shopping for Christmas on the day after Thanksgiving. Black Friday was not yet black. We didn’t put up Christmas trees or wreaths during Advent. We didn’t have parties until Christmas week. Read More »

FROM “Commentary on Isolation” by Jeff Green:

What I have always maintained is that there are many types of viruses—up to 320,000 known to living animals. And, that those viruses are a natural and innate part of any living creature, including plants, arising as cellular survival mechanisms; communicated and being intelligently created by cells to dissolve their own toxicity and that of other dead and dying cells unable to produce their own solvents. Each virus occurs in the living nucleated cells of each area of the body. Read More »

In your response to “Your Car’s Ready” you made this comment: “I doubt she would want to be a housewife. Nothing in her life would have prepared her for anything like that.” It brought to mind something the certified lay speaker (a young woman) said in the message in my church this past Sunday.

It was to the effect that when the Angel greeted Mary with “Hail, Favored One” Mary would have been thinking “How am I favored? I’m only fourteen and have nothing to look forward to in life but being married to Joseph, having his children, washing clothes in the stream and beating them with rocks. I’m not a princess.” Read More »

FROM Winter Watch:

Every man, woman and child in America is owed $65,000 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD), according to a report published earlier this year by Michigan State University professor and economist Mark Skidmore. Read More »

MY husband and I went for a walk last night in the winter darkness. Many houses in the neighborhood were decorated with ropes of Christmas lights, as I’m sure they were where you live. On one house, the roof of a second-floor addition was lighted up and we wondered how the elderly man who lives there got the lights so high. He must have hired someone to do it. People go to extraordinary lengths and expense to hang lights. I know of one man who got up on the roof and … well, maybe it wasn’t worth it.

These artificial lights are often festive and cheerful. But they are only outer lights — inferior to the inner lights which appear one by one in the night of Advent. They glimmer and brighten as Christmas approaches. In the blackest black, in the dark so dark, beautiful balls of fire dangle from the roof of the soul. They illuminate lonely highways and byways. Seen, but unseen.

Exert, we beseech thee, O Lord, thy power and come, succour us by thy great might: that by the assistance of thy grace, thy indulgent mercy may hasten what is delayed by our sins: who livest and reignest God, world without end.

[Collect from the Fourth Sunday of Advent]

WILL many of the elderly and disabled in the U.K. die this winter, as they did in large numbers in 2020, after being administered the drug Midazolam? The drug has been used in lethal injections in the U.S. because it suppresses breathing. Read this hair-raising report from last June by U.K. Exposé.

A new article states:

“Now the authorities are about to play this whole game again, this time under the guise of the alleged Omicron Covid-19 variant.”

The government is reportedly once again stocking up on the drug. The situation will likely be exacerbated by staffing shortages due to vaccine mandates.

THAT super-scary “Patriot Front” march in Washington D.C. a few weeks ago was some of the most poorly-executed political theater I have ever seen in the news. The blogger Banned Hipster comments:

I’m guessing that Patriot Front will be holding a lot more demonstrations as the mid-term elections heat up. The Democrats have nothing to run on except for mandatory medical malpractice for children and Permanent Covid Lockdown.

So having a Cartoon Nazi group to run against makes it much easier. Read More »

A GREAT recording by Chanticleer of Franz Biebl’s Ave Maria  can be found here.

GOD permits darkness so that we, with our feeble and clouded minds, can better see the light. 

Oh great mystery,
and wonderful sacrament,
that animals should see the newborn Lord,
lying in a manger!
Blessed is the virgin whose womb
was worthy to bear
the Lord, Jesus Christ.
Alleluia!

God the Father by Cima da Conegliano, c. 1515

MEDICAL doctors who are honest and upfront about possibly terminal illness are generally not hated for the news they deliver.  Those who speak about spiritual ailments, however, are greatly disliked.

Please pause a moment and have sympathy for the messenger before reading this post. This is not fun, but since you have kindly granted this sympathy to me, I hereby grant you permission to resent me. Please know, however, that everything I say is not said on my own authority. It is said on the authority of those greatly superior to myself, whose words and teachings I have studied and to which I am bound.

If you are guilty of any errors mentioned below, I do not revel in your error or condemn you as a person. It is the awareness of my own mistakes and sins that motivates me. I want to spare you my wrongs.

Now for my subject:

In all the posts I did about “the pandemic,” I never lamented the fact that people were forced to stay home from church. Yes, the unconstitutional orders that closed those churches were wrong and treasonous. Yes, all congregations and ministers should have resisted those orders and kept their churches open.

But it was not a bad thing in itself that people were staying home and not going to church. There were potential gains in this.

Now that the churches are open let me outrageously say this: they should all be closed. Yes, every single church should shut down or revert to a place of authentic communal prayer (mentioned below) with no priests or ministers until the real crisis we are in passes.

This is an audacious and arrogant thing to say, or so it seems. In response, I remind you of these words of Christ:

But yet the Son of man, when he cometh, shall he find, think you, faith on earth? (Luke: 18:8)

Given this prophecy of near-universal apostasy, and many other prophecies; given also the state of the world, you should at least admit the possibility that we are in the midst of that near-universal apostasy. Given that we live in a world so steeped in irrationality that the ineffectiveness of a new medicine is being blamed on the people who don’t take it, you should at least admit the possibility that there is a near-universal collapse in discernment and rational thought.

Could it be that we hear today of so much fakeness, so much fake news, so many lies, because the very thing that must be real, the reality on which all else depends, has been rendered fake?

Jesus goes on in Luke 18 to speak of the Pharisee and the publican:

The Pharisee standing, prayed thus with himself: O God, I give thee thanks that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, as also is this publican. I fast twice in a week: I give tithes of all that I possess. And the publican, standing afar off, would not so much as lift up his eyes towards heaven; but struck his breast, saying: O God, be merciful to me a sinner. [emphasis mine]

Such important words for us to ponder! Read More »
