“COMPARED with ours how calm and how luminous is the knowledge of pure spirits! They are not doomed to the intricate discoursings of our reason, which runs after the truth, composes and analyzes, and laboriously draws conclusions from premises. They instantaneously apprehend the whole compass of primary truths. Their intuition is so prompt, that it is impossible for them to be surprised. as we are, into error. If they deceive themselves it must be of their own will. (more…)

"WOULD that I could persuade spiritual persons that the way of God consisteth not in the multiplicity of meditations, ways of devotion or sweetness, but in one necessary thing only, in knowing how to deny themselves in earnest; inwardly and outwardly, giving themselves up to suffer for Christ’s sake, and annihilating themselves utterly. If he be deficient at all in this exercise, which is the sum and root of all virtue, all he may do will be but beating the air; utterly profitless, notwithstanding great meditations and communications." --- Fr. Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange  

FROM Devotions to St. Michael the Archangel (The Feast of the Dedication of St. Michael is today, September 29):

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; (more…)

PEGGY HALL has a piece at Substack on “Christian” singer Chris Tomlin’s occult symbolism. Tomlin performed e at the Charlie Kirk Memorial earlier this week. Hall writes:

Those with discernment do realize that signs and symbols are ways that gangs, clubs and secret societies communicate with each other.

Just like rainbows are beautiful, colorful and enjoyed by many — the rainbow symbol is strongly associated with homosexuals. In California for example, there are restaurant and businesses that prominently display rainbow flags, stickers and other paraphernalia. It is a way to communicate their message without having a sign outside that says “Gay owned business” (though I’ve seen that as well.)

The point I’m trying to make is that most people who are aware of the rainbow/gay association would understand what flying a rainbow flag means. It’s done intentionally to communicate with those who understand it meaning.

A FRIEND told me a memorable story yesterday.

One of her Italian relatives who lived and worked as a teacher in Philadelphia as a young woman in the 1970s went home to visit her parents, who had never joined others in moving to this country from Italy.

She met a man there and they decided to marry.

He came to visit her in this country first and while he was here, he gave her one condition of their marriage: They would never live in America!

SINCE I have raised questions and criticisms of Charlie Kirk, I would like to balance these posts with this outstanding talk by him on the sexual revolution at an unknown campus in 2023.

He offers a clear and measured defense of virginity before marriage and he comes across as extremely likable.

It is a loss that he will no longer be doing this work and it is too bad that, regardless of what exactly happened on September 10, he was not remembered in a more respectful way than the political show that was his memorial service.

RIGHT after making a (blasphemous) analogy between the plot to kill Jesus Christ and the alleged martyrdom of political pop star Charlie Kirk, Tucker Carlson, speaking at the gaudy and glitzy extravaganza of pseudo-Christian piety and patriotism that was Kirk’s “memorial service” on Sunday, burst into laughter.

The above images capture his hilarity.

I wonder what he was thinking. I wonder what made him laugh so. Could he have been thinking: “I can’t believe anyone would buy this nonsense. And from me!!”?

Carlson, who has often been seen wearing the red-string bracelet of a practitioner of the Kabbalah, just couldn’t maintain the piety or supposed grief. We see the same odd behavior in crisis actors.

THE 1998 mystery thriller Snake Eyes, directed by Brian De Palma and starring Nicholas Cage, involves the story of the assassination of American politician Charles Kirkland, with a shot through the neck at a public event on September 10, the same date as the Charlie Kirk alleged assassination.

“FULL of the spirit of Satan, who, according to the words of the Apostle, knows how to transform himself at need into an angel of light, it [Freemasonry] gives prominence to its humanitarian object, but it sacrifices everything to its sectarian purpose and protests that it has no political aim, while in reality it exercises the most profound action on the legislative and administrative life of the nations, and while loudly professing its respect for authority and even for religion, has for its ultimate purpose, as its own statutes declare, the destruction of all authority as well as of the priesthood, both of which it holds up as the enemies of liberty.” --- Pope Leo XIII, Annum Ingressi, March 1902  

“IF we contemplate the provident action of God as it moves through His creation, we everywhere see the signs of His divine patience, sustaining what is by nature feeble, upholding what left to itself must fall, enduring evil and disorder for the sake of final good, providing for all things according to their needs, and conducting all things to their destinies according to His eternal designs. If we contemplate the ways of God in souls, with what a sovereign patience He endures their wayward follies and ungrateful crimes, to bring them from their evil to His good.

[….]

“As a divine attribute of God patience is infinite and eternal. In His divine benignity He exhibits that patience towards us in bearing with our offenses and ingratitude, and in waiting for our repentance and return to His love. As He has made us to His image that we may be formed to His likeness, He sends to us the grace of patience through the gift of charity, that through its faithful exercise we may imitate His patience. This virtue is the tonic medicine of our enfeebled nature; it fortifies the will, soothes down the irritabilities that derange the soul, braces the powers into unity, and gives stability to all the virtues. It secures the mind from dissipation, the will from perturbation, and enables us to preserve our self-possession. It is the pith and marrow of charity, strengthening the love of God in the children of light, that it may persevere under every cloud of tribulation and adversity.

ANOTHER experienced gun user looks at the Kirk shooting.

“Mr. Gunsngear” is a graduate of the Massachusetts Criminal Justice Training Center and a military veteran who was in both the Air Force and the Army. He said as soon as the story broke, he received “a ton” of messages from gun users who thought something was off, given the type of rifle allegedly used.

“CRISIS actor Erika Kirk, the pageant queen, slithers into the spotlight for the revolting finale of this theatrical production. She’s announced to the stage like she won ‘American Idol,’ complete with pyrotechnics to celebrate her arrival as the new CEO of Turning Point USA. As the melodramatic music swells to a crescendo, this sociopath tilts her head skyward with icy poise, capturing a cinematic moment of plastic despair. Every traitorous shill in the lineup has already endorsed this cheap farce, and now Erika, cloaked in sanctimonious religiosity, shepherds the gullible herd into the next phase of the JWO’s psychological programming. It’s all fanfare, glitz, pomp, and grift – a tour de force in mind control layered within fantastical salvation narratives.”

AT minute 3:50 in this video of the revolting and schmaltzy memorial service for Charlie Kirk, whose alleged murder is filled with fakery, Erika Kirk flashes the devil’s horns to the audience. [Correction: That was “I love you” in sign language. It’s the kind of thing one would do at a rock concert, not in mourning,] You can see it for yourself. Erika, who also can’t hide a duper’s delight smile, can’t make it anymore clear.

Erika has an interesting history, including an alleged stint working in a Romanian foster home connected with the American military. The organization was accused by locals of trafficking in children.

Government in St. Louis takes pains to make the streets safe for lawbreakers, thugs, and parasites. Not so, you say?  My reply: As good as.

Recently, a friend of mine, slightly past retirement age, became a victim.  A thug broke into her home, attacked her, and demanded money.  There are so few neighbors left that it was unlikely any of them would come to her aid because they, like her, are extremely reluctant to go out after dark.

“…..the older people worry about crime and fear the streets almost as much as they took sustenance from them in the old days.  …in the 1950s they considered the streets to be their home, an extension of their property, whereas today the streets are an alien place…”.  — Alan Ehrenhalt, The Lost City, Basic Books, 1995, p. 254

What he wrote is true.  He was writing about Chicago, but his words apply perfectly to similar neighborhoods in St. Louis. (more…)

FROM Holy Serpent of the Jews by Texe Marrs:

The clearest indication of the hatred by Jews toward Gentiles is the Talmudic commandment, “The best of the Gentiles—kill!” Naturally, this law can only be exercised in a territory or region when the Jews have full authority. In wartime, this law is often imposed, and that is why so many Palestinians and Arabs are unmercifully treated and innocents captured and murdered.

A booklet published by the Central Regional Command of today’s modern Israeli Army, written by the Chief Chaplain, gives this advice to soldiers:

“When our forces come across civilians during a war or in hot pursuit or in a raid, so long as there is no certainty that those civilians are incapable of harming our forces, then according to Halakhah (the law) they may and even should be killed… (more…)

“THERE is, throughout history, a melancholy sameness in the reactions of mankind, sighing for redemption, to the Redeemer that would answer its appeal. ‘As it is Jesus Christ, yesterday and to-day and the same for ever,’ so man, looking for salvation, is yesterday and today and the same for ever. The one thing fallen man desires to know is how to live his life on earth so as to be happy. This is the very thing that Jesus desires to let him know. And yet, as was prophesied by Simeon, the Redeemer ever remains ‘a sign to be contradicted.’ The sick world, like a patient in the delirium of fever, is for ever turning on its physician and submitting him to violence and maltreatment.
