Juan de la Abadia; The Archangel Michael c. 1490

ALMIGHTY and eternal God, who in thy own marvellous goodness and pity didst, for the common salvation of man, choose the glorious Archangel Michael to be the Prince of thy Church; make us worthy, we pray Thee, to be delivered by his beneficent protection from all our enemies, that at the hour of our death no one of them may approach to harm us, and that by the same Archangel Michael we may be introduced into the presence of thy high and heavenly Majesty. Through the merits of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

— From Devotions to St. Michael the Archangel. The Feast of the Dedication of St. Michael is today, September 29.

I remember listening on peaceful Sunday afternoons to baseball announcer Jack Buck on KMOX Radio broadcasts of Cardinals’ doubleheaders…..and standing at our kitchen sink early one evening while listening to Jack Buck interview retired Cardinals’ pitcher Lindy McDaniel, another of my boyhood baseball heroes whose baseball cards my classmates and I carried in our pockets in those golden summers of 1958-’59.

Two blocks from where we lived was a building that Bohemians built in 1903 as a gymnastic and cultural club.  They were there until 1956, at which time it became a VFW Post.

I remember walking countless times to and across a pedestrian walkway above Highway 55 to a bus stop on Broadway in the years when I worked downtown.  Behind me as I stood there waiting for my bus were two houses that dated from the 1850s and overlooked the Mississippi River.  In the early 1900s, passenger trains stopped behind one of those houses.  The trains and the houses are long gone.

As I walked up the steps leading to the walkway, I walked past an ordinary house that was always occupied and in good condition.

In some years I would get home from my job at or around midnight.  Then I would read the two daily newspapers, and perhaps a book or magazine, and fall asleep around 3 a.m. to the wonderful voice of John McCormick on KMOX Radio.  I remember reading Arthur Koestler’s book The Ghost in the Machine in that setting in 1968.

I remember walking along the streets around our house many times late at night with no need whatever for concern about safety.  That began to change in the late 1980s and reached bottom when the liars and frauds who call themselves “The Law” did nothing to stop thugs and parasites from converting that neighborhood and others around it into combat zones.

I remember Elisabeth’s thoughtfulness in visiting my mother in the last years of her life, and in exchanging cards and notes with me for years afterward.  Her mother lived the last years in her long life in a nursing home overlooking the river, the same location where my grandfather died in 1969.

When we were in grade school, my classmate Tony and his family lived two blocks from Pennsylvania Avenue.  (They were from Germany, too.)  But in the middle of those years, their house was demolished when the highway was built through that area.

St. Hedwig’s Catholic Church was built for Polish Catholics.  Baseball’s Hall of Fame sportswriter Bob Broeg was born in the kitchen of a house just down the street from the church and school.  The school closed in 1970, the church closed in 2005, and the parish was dissolved after 101 years.  Here is a picture of the St. Hedwig class of 1962:

HOW DID virologists come up with the Delta Variant?

Dr. Thomas Cowan explains. It’s complicated, but will help you understand the bad science behind it.

NEW YORK state faces a pending nursing shortage because some 70,000 medical workers have not complied with mandatory inoculation.

Postal workers are not required to receive one of the injections.

The solution is obvious. Postal workers must work in hospitals. We know the health authorities care for us and they can make this happen.

MANY FALSE prophets have emerged to facilitate the Great Leap Forward — er, I mean the Great Reset. These are controlled opposition figures crucial to the imposition of global controls through a medical scam. That’s because they misdirect and corral the resistance. One of these figures is David E. Martin, who promotes the idea that Covid is a bioweapon. Martin is supposedly one of the good guys fighting the Covid villains.

The anonymous author of this exposé of Martin expresses my own reaction to Martin:

For some of us this person’s duplicity in the psychological operation was evident from the moment he sat down with Mikki Willis for an interview. We didn’t even need to research it further because we felt it intuitively. I smelled the deception before reading a single word about him, and now, here we are, one year later, and people are still promoting this guy as some kind of truth-teller and freedom fighter. But if you understand that this entire Covid-19 operation is part of a psychological war, then you might understand that David’s bioweapon story is and always has been a red herring. If you don’t understand this, there’s a long list of books you can read up on the subjects of Virology and Vaccines and this paper is probably not for you. [emphasis added]

Martin doesn’t really expose Fauci’s full crimes, which go back to AIDS, and what he does expose is only used to promote other falsehoods.

“IF ONE were to ask a group of American school children today what image springs to mind when they hear the word ‘German,’ you would most likely hear the following adjectives: fat, mean, violent, arrogant, ugly, loud, aggressive..or all of the above. It would be obvious that there is an aversion and negative response to the very word. If one were to ask who Schiller or Goethe were, you would probably either be met with a blank stare or be told that they were ‘Nazi generals.’

“The German people in our modern media have been alternately portrayed as silly, clumsy, beer-bellied fools or mad scientists and evil warlords. They vie with Arabs for first place as the Saturday cartoon version of the arch enemy of mankind.. their “guttural” accent alone enough to trigger fear and loathing. This conditioning started long before the National Socialists, however. It began almost a century ago and only took a few months to engineer. It is difficult to believe that there was actually a time when the German popular image was not only otherwise, but completely the opposite. It was very good and very old, going back, as we have seen, to the American Revolution.

“In the United States, Germans were the majority of immigrants for decades and they formed a huge part of the population. A German presence went back to the earliest days of the nation when most early German immigrants lived in the rural countryside. Back in 1745, there were an estimated 45,000 Germans living in Pennsylvania alone, and most were farmers. Only about two fifths lived in cities larger than 25,000 people, and even as late as 1870, German-born farmers made up one third of the agricultural industry in rural America. The German-American element was strong enough that German Language was allowed as an official alternative in the schools of many states, some requiring it upon parental demand as early as 1839. Some public and parochial schools taught exclusively in German throughout many decades, and many larger cities, such as Baltimore, St. Louis, Cincinnati and Cleveland operated bilingual schools.”

In the 1946 motion picture “Little Giant,” Lou Costello’s character is a vacuum cleaner salesman. His first attempt at salesmanship is met by a woman who says NO and slams the door in his face even before he can recite a sales pitch.

That, I submit, should be the model for all of us who have no intention of taking an alleged “vaccine” for an alleged “virus” whose existence has never been demonstrated.  It is a metaphor for how we should respond to the Militant Vaccine Pushers.

That Americans today are morally and philosophically bankrupt is nicely illustrated by the zeal with which they search for “reasons” not to accept any such “vaccines”—those “reasons” being exemptions stamped “Valid” by Authority A, B, C, X, Y, or Z.  Citing “exemptions” for alleged health reasons, alleged religious beliefs, or any other alleged excuse, or because of the alleged “dangerousness” of such alleged “vaccines” is moral cowardice on the part of people who hate responsibility.  It is as if they hate moral agency more than anything else in life.

My mommy or daddy says it is okay for me not to be vaccinated, or:

My doctor says it is okay for me not to be vaccinated, or:

My employer says it is okay for me not to be vaccinated, or:

My clergyman says it is okay for me not to be vaccinated.

Such people are a population of infants.  They have no comprehension of what is meant by individual rights, the sovereignty of an individual over his body, his health, and his life, limitations on government power, or limitations on the lust for power by do-gooders.

Because an individual says NO is all the reason he needs not to buy a vacuum cleaner or accept a vaccine.  Any vacuum cleaner salesman in the 1940s who did not take no for an answer and attempted instead to bribe or coerce a housewife into buying a vacuum cleaner would have been promptly censured and fired by his employer.  Any vacuum cleaner company who claimed no liability if their machines did not work or blew up would have been denounced by reputable companies.

FOR 20 years, the website Tradition in Action** has insisted Americans are living through a holy war with Islam similar to the Crusades. The opening salvo of this war, according to TIA, was the alleged attack by Muslims on the World Trade Center in 2001.

TIA argued for war with Iraq both before and afterward. (See here, here, here, here, and here.)

On the 20th anniversary of 9/11 last week, the ostensibly Catholic website was unchanged in its position: The 9/11 attack was the work of nineteen Muslims with box cutters in hijacked planes. Pete Riehm wrote:

It has been twenty years since the cowardly sneak attacks on 9/11, 2001. Americans were shocked when Islamist terrorists crashed airliners full of innocent passengers into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon – and incredibly, some unknown heroes forced the terrorists’ evil designs down into a remote field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. About 3,000 people were murdered that day on American soil. It was horrific!

The United States vowed to defeat this vile enemy and root out all the terrorists around the globe who mean us harm. Much American blood and treasure has been shed the past two decades, and we have been largely successful in the primary objective of preventing any large-scale attacks on our homeland.

I do not mean to suggest that Islam is not truly dangerous, but this description is disturbingly cartoonish, especially at this late date. Read More »

This interesting bit of history is from The Medical Mafia: How to get out of it alive and take back our health and wealth  by Guylaine Lanctot, M.D.:

“In 1905, the Philippines had a mortality rate of 10% due to smallpox. After a massive vaccination program, it reached epidemic proportions, killing 25% of the population, by now vaccinated. Despite this, the authorities stepped up the vaccinations. In 1918, the worst epidemic killed 54% of the people there, at a time when 95% of the population had been vaccinated. Manila, the capital, where everyone had been vaccinated or revaccinated, was the hardest hit with 65%. The Island of Mindanao, where the inhabitants had refused to be vaccinated, was the least hit. Only 11%. Despite this evidence, anti-smallpox vaccinations continued and, in 1966, the W.H.O. launched a world campaign which would last 10 years, only to be abandoned because it proved to be ineffective…

“….It is hardly astonishing that, in every major vaccination campaign, one finds the same tangled web. Government, the military, Saint W.H.O., financiers, researchers, laboratories, universities, the CIA, and the World Bank….”
