FROM Dom Prosper Guéranger on the Third Sunday of Lent:

Assuredly, we should be the blindest and most unhappy of men, if, – surrounded as we are by enemies, who unceasingly seek to destroy us, and are so superior to us both in power and knowledge, – we were seldom or never to think of the existence of these wicked spirits. And yet, such is really the case with innumerable Christians now-a-days; for, truths are diminished from among the children of men [Ps. xi. 2].

So common, indeed, is this heedlessness and forgetfulness of truth, which the Holy Scriptures put before us in almost every page, that it is no rare thing to meet with persons who ridicule the idea of Devils being permitted to be on this earth of ours! They call it a prejudice, a popular superstition, of the Middle-Ages! Of course they deny that it is a dogma of Faith. When we read the History of the Church or the Lives of the Saints, they have their own way of explaining whatever is there related on this subject. To hear them talk, one would suppose that they look upon Satan as a mere abstract idea, to be taken as the personification of evil. (more…)

"IRELAND has a worse immigration problem than Germany, Sweden, the UK or France. That statement will astonish many people, but they can confirm its truth by spending a weekend in Dublin or any other city in the Republic of Ireland. On O’Connell Steet, Dublin city centre’s main thoroughfare, foreigners often outnumber native Irish at a rate of well over 100 to one. The official figures say migrants account for around 15 per cent of the Irish population—much higher than in most European countries, but still a huge underestimate. "These days you can drive from the centre of Dublin to its northern inner suburbs without seeing one white Irish pedestrian en route. Schools in many parts of Dublin have almost no white Irish pupils, and convenience stores, restaurants and supermarkets are staffed overwhelmingly by south Asians, Africans, Chinese and Eastern Europeans. Last year Merkel and her fellow Rotchshild shills opened the gates of continental Europe to millions of “refugees”, but successive Irish governments had beaten them to it by about 20 years. From the mid-1990s onwards, Ireland welcomed hundreds of thousands of migrants from all over the globe. This process accelerated rapidly from the mid 2000s onwards—to the point where foreigners now form a majority in many localities." --- Jude Duffy, 2017 More interesting reading by Andrew Joyce at Occidental Observer  

"ALL the depth of suffering that any one can undergo, all the extremities of misery to which any one may be brought in following justice, all are in the Passion; all deliverance from illusion and all learning of the truth are in the Passion; all knowledge, understanding, and heavenly wisdom are to be found in the Passion. The great Apostle of the Gentiles said that he knew nothing but Christ crucified, and, because of the greatness of the treasure herein hidden, we find that the saints occupied themselves ordinarily in this thought of the Passion, as may be proved from their works and treatises. "For this cause, therefore, and on account of the devotion that the whole Christian people in general feel towards the Passion of our Redeemer, I have thought well to choose this matter out of all other, and set it before those who meditate, giving them first some good instruction as to the manner to be followed in making meditation, though I leave the full discussion of this for my larger treatise." --- The History of the Sacred Passion, Luis De La Palma, 1559-1641    

FROM THULETIDE: You've probably seen this meme like 20 times already but it perfectly encapsulates something I noticed a long time ago: Major globalist psyops seem to come one at a time, and they get turned on and off like a light switch. Suddenly a psyop will appear out of nowhere, flood every single media channel simultaneously and cause total chaos among the masses, then it will disappear just as suddenly as it appeared, and the next psyop will start almost immediately. Sometimes they recycle psyops or incorporate elements of one into another, but they always have one major psyop that they concentrate on with others taking a back seat, e.g. climate BS being a minor aspect of COVID BS. I think they do this because normies can't concentrate on too many things at once and they'll just check out if they get overwhelmed. So, globalists give each psyop enough time and space to sink in and do the required damage. That's my theory, anyway. To call the Russia/Ukraine conflict a "psyop" is not to deny the suffering of its undeniable victims, to whom I extend my sincere compassion.    

HERE are examples from popular culture in Russia, the supposed bastion of Christian morality. See more here, here, here, here, here, here and here. See also "White Westerners Are So Demoralized They Are Looking to the Hammer & Sickle for Salvation" (not an endorsement of Renegade Tribune): As Russia is rolling through Ukraine, I see tons of people White westerners cheering them on, even as images emerge of them flying the old hammer and sickle. Somehow these people think that the Russians and their “based” allies in the Middle East and China are going to save us from Cultural Marxism, apparently with some old fashioned Communism. They would prefer to be out of the frying pan, so it seems they would gladly jump into the fire.  

FROM The Passion and Death of Our Lord Jesus Christ by Alban Goodier, 1944:

Naturally the topography of the Passion is far more simple than is that of the Public Life. If before we had to remind the reader of the small area of Palestine, much more must we do the same when we speak of Jerusalem and its neighbourhood. As for the sites of the various scenes* though, as we have said, scholars can be found who differ concerning almost all, and though time, instead of solving these problems, seems only to increase them, for a study such as this these discussions must be of minor importance. The author has accepted, more rather than less, the traditional sites as they are shown in and about Jerusalem to-day; and he has done so, both because he believes they have as good a claim to acceptance as any other, indeed in most cases there is no other ; but also because in any case it is more important to be definite from the beginning, than to break the narrative by side issues.

"AND the disciples hearing, fell upon their face, and were very much afraid.  And Jesus came and touched them: and said to them, Arise, and fear not. And they lifting up their eyes saw no one but only Jesus. And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying: Tell the vision to no man, till the Son of man be risen from the dead." [Matt. 17: 6-9]  

 IN “I’ve Never Been to Me” sung by Charlene Marilynn Oliver, known simply as Charlene, an older woman addresses a young woman and reflects on her own past, ruined by the false dreams of feminism. At the (pseudo-Catholic) Remnant,  Chris Jackson offers perceptive commentary.  She notices a younger lady who is miserable with her state in life, married with children. We can imagine so many young women in our country who no doubt find it extremely difficult trying to raise a family in our current society. The drudgery of daily obligations, trying to make ends meet, the constant needs of the children and husband. Meanwhile the culture is constantly providing the enticing siren song of an escape. If you free yourself of this burden of a family you can make more money, you can go on expensive vacations, you can find true romance, you can live your dreams. The song continues as the older lady explains she has already lived the life the young wife and mother is dreaming about ... I know many women who have lived this song. Feminism creates an ever-flowing river of tears. Won't you share a part of a weary heart that has lived a million lies? The song, by the way, was written and composed by two men, Ron Miller and Kenneth Hirsch. It was not much of a sensation when it was released in 1977, but became a hit in 1982. In this…

KAMALA HARRIS in her speech alongside Polish President Andrzej Duda this week in Poland offered a quick study in why women should not be political leaders.

Notice how glaring the male/female difference was as the gigglingly effusive Harris stood next to the rigidly unsmiling Duda.

In other roles, perhaps if she was a hostess at a nice restaurant, Kamala’s laughter, her expressions of empathy, her consistent appeals to emotion, her bungling of basic phrases might all be perfectly charming. But not for a world leader near a purported war zone.

Granted many women would do much better than this and men can make terrible vice presidents. But it’s not worth the risk of having an entire nation led by a kindergarten teacher. Besides women, even those as ambitious as Kamala, have better things to do.

The globalists have always wanted women at the top because they are easier to control and are better at emotionally manipulating the masses. Honestly, I felt a bit sorry for Harris. Not that I have ever seen her looking or acting even remotely  vice-presidential. But she seemed so nervous and out of her depth. Men are made for stress and crisis, not women. Is it any wonder many talented women are half-mad (or completely bonkers)? They are placed in such stressful situations and are as out of their element as ducks in a desert. (more…)

“RUSSIA is nothing but a long impoverished multi-ethnic state run by a cabal of criminal Jewish mobsters seeking world domination—the same as it was under Gorbachev, Khrushchev, Stalin, and Lenin. Nothing has changed but the design of the national flag and the official titles of the country and its massive internal security apparatus (Putin even reverted the national anthem back to the Soviet one, although without lyrics). If you haven’t figured this out by now, you absolutely must read the revelations of late Soviet defector Anatoliy Golitsyn in New Lies for Old and The Perestroika Deception. Genuine Western conservatives and Christians are being set up for total annihilation. It’s a trap! Get out!”

 THIS music video allegedly from an anti-tank unit in Ukraine must have been conceived by the same liars who cooked up the idea of dancing nurse videos and brought you the dystopian flick, COVID: The Pandemic.  

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
