ACTOR Sean Penn the other day, in an interview with CIA-affiliated Anderson Cooper, tearfully praised another actor, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky, as a great hero. Translation: Zelensky is being deliberately valorized by the globalists for their own strategic reasons and a Hollywood actor/con artist has been brought in to help.

“I don’t know if he knew that he was born for this, but it was clear I was in the presence of something. … This is such an extraordinary moment and I was endlessly impressed and moved by him.”

This is emotional manipulation by highly-skilled psychopaths — brainwashing even Orwell wasn’t clever enough to imagine.

Penn also said that every day he is “inspired” by his “extraordinary ex-wife.” Yes, indeed, no one could be more inspiring than the used-up, pornographic, black-robed, Lucifer-worshipping senior citizen, Madonna. Honestly, I just can’t help but see the producers of this stuff keeling over with laughter afterward.

I don’t know everything that’s going on, but I am absolutely sure the Russia/Ukraine conflict is a narrative heaped to the sky with lies and is being used to further destabilize this country with the sort of subversion that former KGB agent Yuri Bezmenov (see below) warned of years ago.

Traumatized and beaten up by the COVID scam, willingly hostage to screens and professional con artists, apocalyptically witless Americans face a new round of political theater. No one is more easily preyed upon than the person who doesn’t really believe in evil and lacks even a mental framework for believing in it.

IN CASE, you didn’t know: Volodymyr Zelensky, president of Ukraine, is an actor.

Similar to Donald Trump, he’s not a real statesman, but an accomplished entertainer playing a role.

His sleazy dance videos illustrate just how much the world is being played. The Russia-Ukraine conflict has taken over the Covid narrative in the news. Both sides of the war are certainly controlled by the same people. (more…)

"IT IS very necessary that the tongue be well-bridled and regulated because we are all much inclined to let it run on upon those things which are most pleasing to the senses. "Much speaking springs ordinarily from pride. We persuade ourselves that we know a great deal; we take delight in our own conceits, and endeavor by needless repetitions to impress them on the minds of others, that we may exercise a mastery over them, as though they needed instruction from us. "It is not possible to express in few words the many evils which arise from overmuch speaking. "Talkativeness is the mother of sloth, the sign of ignorance and folly, the door of slander, the minister of falsehood, the destroyer of fervent devotion. A multitude of words adds strength to evil passions, by which again the tongue is the more easily led on to indiscreet talking." ---  Dom Lorenzo Scupoli, The Spiritual Combat, 1589  

"THE charity which the world has set up, which it calls Philanthropy, and which it exercises not in the name of God, but solely for the sake of man, this pretended virtue is a mere delusion, is incapable of producing love between those who give and those who receive, and its results must, necessarily, be unsatisfactory. There is but one tie, which can make men love one another: that tie is God, Who created them all, and commands them all to be one in Him. To serve mankind for its own sake, is to make a god of it; and even viewing the workings of the two systems in this single point of view, the relief they afford to temporal suffering, what comparison is there between mere Philanthropy, and that supernatural Charity of the humble disciples of Christ, who make Him the very motive and end of all they do for their afflicted brethren? The Saint, we honour today, was called John of God, because the Name of God was ever on his lips. His heroic acts of charity had no other motive than that of pleasing God; God alone was the inspirer of the tender love he had for his suffering fellow-creatures. Let us imitate his example, for our Lord assures us, that he considers as done to Himself, whatsoever we do even for the least of his disciples." -- Dom Prosper Gueranger, "St. John of God," The Liturgical…

FROM Brandon Smith at Alt-Market.US: Putin recently threatened western governments with a reprisal the likes of which they have never seen before if they try to interfere in Ukraine. The problem is that many in the mainstream and alternative media automatically assumed this was a threat of nuclear war. I don’t think this is what Putin was referring to. I have another theory… The globalists are unlikely to spend the past several decades building up one of the most complex technocratic control grids in history to track and dominate the public only to then annihilate it all in the blink of an eye with nukes. A post-nuke environment would be impossible for them to control.  What is more likely, in my view, is a massive cyber-attack that targets the functionality of the internet itself, and it would have to happen relatively soon. The amount of economic and business operations tied to the web is staggering. Even if the internet was to go down for a mere two weeks, the repercussions to our markets and to our supply chain would be devastating. By extension, the benefits to the globalists would be immense. They could implement filters and firewalls on any part of the web they don’t like (including the alternative media) and claim that this is to protect the internet from possible sources of viral spread. They could whittle the web down to only a handful of approved corporate and government sites…

“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 of his conceited passion for ruling, for managing others, he cannot permit anyone to be alone.”

DISCUSSION, when there is any, goes like this:

“You’re entitled to your opinion, and I’m entitled to mine.”

Or, “That’s fine for you, but not for me.”

Or, “We all have different paths.”

The air is ignited with the gasoline of self-assertion. Truth is engulfed in flames of opinion. Try to stand and the bottoms of your feet are scorched.

Teeth are razor sharp. Fingernails are like daggers. Right and wrong can’t be right or wrong. But they facilitate discussion.

Everyone agrees to disagree. (more…)

IN a new, televised interview, Melinda Gates (now rebranded as Melinda French Gates) suggests that her husband’s friendship with Jeffrey Epstein was a factor in her recent decision to seek a divorce.

I previously wrote about the divorce of Melinda and Bill:

I could care less about the alleged divorce of these two nauseating, murderous megalomaniacs with their poisoned needles. Did people in Soviet gulags take a sincere interest in the love life of Stalin? I hope not. The Gates Divorce is like the Meghan and Harry story — soap opera slop revolving around two vile creatures. Reading it is like handling slime. I believe this story is intended to boost the heterosexual creds of the eugenicist Bill Gates. Oh, what a lothario he is with his corporate exec girlfriend!! I suspect far more sinister predilections for this effeminate friend of pedophilia-pusher Jeffrey Epstein.

But even so, I am interested in the power and influence of these shady characters.

We can’t trust anything the Gates’s say, so heavily is their image managed. But we can read between the lines.

And listening to the interview, with its teary, feminist cliches, I realized that this divorce was necessary in order to protect the Gates’s global “philanthropic” schemes.

Bill’s friendship with Epstein cast a pall over one of the major boasts of Bill and Melinda: their concern for the rights of women. The recent trial of Ghislaine Maxwell provided all too many details of Epstein’s conception of women’s rights.

How could the Gates’s liberation of the women of the world go on if the couple remained together?

Now that Melinda has expressed her abhorrence of Epstein and left Bill, she is free to move ahead with their joint agenda of “empowering women.” That means encouraging them in every way to pursue life outside the family. That means worldwide distribution of pharamceutical contraceptives, encouragement of abortion, and efforts to undermine the male provider through anti-male discrimination in lending. “Empowering women” looks suspiciously like empowering global financiers, for whom large, traditional families stand in the way of reducing every human being to a tax-paying, fully employed, debt slave.

In light of this interview and Melinda’s ongoing claim to be an advocate of women, this 2012 “Open Letter to Melinda Gates” by the Nigerian woman Obianuju Ekeocha is worth reading: (more…)

YOU MIGHT be surprised at just how different Lent was through the ages:

During the two thousand and more years, which preceded the Deluge, men had no other food than the fruits of the earth, and these were only got by the toil of hard labour. But when God, as we have already observed, mercifully shortened man’s life, (that so he might have less time and power for sin), – he permitted him to eat the flesh of animals, as an additional nourishment in that state of deteriorated strength. It was then, also, that Noah, guided by a divine inspiration, extracted the juice of the grape, which thus formed a second stay for human debility. (more…)

TURN FOR TURN --- Benjamin Dionysius Hill, C.S.P. Jesus, my King, I have crucified Thee: Now it is Thy turn to crucify me. Make Thou the cross —- be it only like Thine: Mix Thou the gall —- so Thy love be the wine. Shrink not to strip me — of all but Thy grace. Stretch me out well, till I fit in Thy place. Here are my hands (felon hands!) and my feet: Drive home the nails, Lord: the pain shall be sweet. Raise me, and take me not down till I die. Only let Mary, my mercy, stand by. Last, let the spear while I live do its part: -- Right thro' the heart, my King -- right thro' the heart!  

"WITHOUT the grace of God, no one can attain eternal life: in neglecting the practice of mortification, in giving way to sensual indulgence, in leading a life of softness, of pleasure and dissipation, you are directly opposing the influence of divine grace; you are throwing down the arms, which were given you for combat, and are placing yourselves defenceless in the power of your mortal enemies. As you value, then, your salvation, my dear friends, let your notions and conduct on this vital subject be, from this moment, reformed. Resolutely undertake the mortification of your sensual appetites, the conquest of your rebellious will, the destruction of the empire of self-love. Undertake it as men, lest indulgence should strengthen, and render irresistible those evil propensities, of which you are the inheritors. Undertake it as christians, lest you degrade that sacred character which you bear, and break the solemn engagements, into which you have entered. Undertake it as sinners, lest, by failing to satisfy the injured justice of God in the present life, you come to feel the weight of His indignation in the life to come. "Let the holy season, on which we are entering, be to you the commencement of a new life. Courageously join with all the true children of the Church of God in declaring war upon the flesh and its concupiscences. If you are terrified at the prospect of privations and restraints, know, that God Himself will…

 HERE is a great list of resources for the season of Lent, which begins today Ash Wednesday. There is nothing more important than to give yourself to prayer and penance during the next 40 days and to capture some of that collective spiritual energy of the season, a vitality that still exists in these nihilistic times. While exterior works of penance are important, inner mortification is superior. From Dom Prosper Gueranger's The Liturgical Year: "Our Redeemer would not have us receive the announcement of the great feast as one of sadness and melancholy. The Christian who understands what a dangerous thing it is to be behindhand with divine justice welcomes the season of Lent with joy; it consoles him. He knows that if he be faithful in observing what the Church prescribes, his debt will be less heavy upon him. These penances, these satisfactions (which the indulgence of the Church has rendered so easy), being offered to God unitedly with those of our Savior Himself, and being rendered fruitful by that holy fellowship which blends into one common propitiatory sacrifice the good works of all the members of the Church militant, will purify our souls, and make them worthy to partake in the grand Easter joy. Let us not, then, be sad because we are to fast; let us be sad only because we have sinned and made fasting a necessity. In this same Gospel, our Redeemer gives us a second counsel, which the Church will…

I’ve kept up with your work in the last two years as somewhat of a lifeline. I homeschooled my sons before and during the “lockdown” and did my level best to keep life as normal for them as possible. Still, the pervasive fear tactics made me grateful for your site to remind me there was more to the story than met the eye.

As the insanity winds down, I find myself looking at our nation. What a spoiled bunch of children we are. Such shallow lives we’ve led, with our focus on shiny objects and entertainment. I have lost interest in mass entertainment because I find it dull and filthy. No wonder we allowed this charade to continue for so long. It’s like being in a horror movie and our society enjoys horror movies.

I move forward, though. I prefer that to the alternative. Thank you for the dose of reality along the way. (more…)
