FROM an article by Will Tanner at The Tablet:

“When Nelson Mandela ascended to power in 1994, with his African National Congress (ANC) winning South Africa’s first multiracial election, the world was full of hope. South Africans hoped that the “rainbow nation” would turn out differently than the Congo, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, and Angola, among other decolonized lands where mass violence between ethnic groups and tribes filled the vacuum of postcolonial defeat and withdrawal. To this day, South Africa has seen no Gukurahundi between its native groups nor mass slaughter between natives and Europeans. (more…)

“Here’s what I will do to defeat anti-Whiteism and defend our White citizens in America. My first week back in the Oval Office, my administration will inform every college president that if you do not end anti-White propaganda, they will lose their accreditation and federal taxpayer support.”

— Donald Trump to the White-American Council at a “Fighting Anti-Whiteism In America” event in Washington DC.

Just kidding.

Politicians don’t stand up for White people. [Trump] said this regarding “antisemitism” at the Israeli-American Council’s “Fighting Antisemitism In America” event in Washington DC.

After decades of unabashed, institutional anti-White hatred and discrimination from colleges across America…

~ Colleges that have served as the front lines in the War On White people

~ Colleges from which malicious anti-White theories and policies such as CRT and DEI have spread

~ Colleges where tenured professors have openly called for the genocide of the White race (more…)

"IN the Convent garden and elsewhere he delighted to sing [prayers to Mary] with intense sweetness, devotion, and enthusiasm. His sighs and tears would often interrupt his song, and thus disclose his fervour, love, and ardent piety. 'What a touching sight to witness the greatest scholar of the Middle Ages, who combined in himself every species of science, walking alone in the garden of Cologne Convent, and singing with tears the praises of Mary his queen! "Nor does Prussia seem able to tell us enough of our Master's devotion to the holy Mother of God. He styles him Mary's secretary, who surpassed all who have ever written Concerning her. 'For,' says he, 'the Jeromes, the Ambroses, the Augustines, the Bernards, the Anselms, and the John Damascenes have extolled her in rapturous language and with all the charms of the most fragrant devotion; they have shown, in a style brilliant with beauty, how amiable she is, how powerful, full in merit, rich in virtue, in short, how good and compassionate she is; but, despite their reasoning, which amounts even to evidence, they know not how to convince the mind of the auditor as our venerable Master docs when he speaks of Mary in his sermons." --- Dr. Joachim Stighart, Albert the Great, of the Order of Friar-Preachers: His Life and Scholastic Labours (1876)

One of the cultural trends that philosopher Richard Weaver wrote about in the 1940s-’50s was the increasing deference by the older generation to the younger. A consequence of that surrender of authority was the development of the Vital Child.

Laura Wood wrote in 2009 that the Vital Child “is not a creature of repose. He is a dynamic, rapidly evolving being, capable of ‘socialization’ even as an infant”. [“The Vital Child”, The Thinking Housewife, May 11, 2009 ]

I was part of the first generation born after World War II, the first in American history to be told we were Something Special: We had more choices, more opportunities, more possibilities, more things, more toys, more to do, see, and hear, more diversions, more amusements, and more Fun! available to us than any previous generation, we were told. In return for doing what? For doing nothing; just for existing! Some of our parents told us those things, but most of the time the message was pounded into us by the mass communications, entertainment, and advertising industries. Soft drink companies were part of that campaign. They played a significant role in promoting the youth subculture of the 1960s.

EXPECT more traumatizing staged shooting events or domestic terrorism attacks under the second Donald Trump  presidential term. "Gun control" is a major aim of the New World Order agenda -- and he's part of it. Under the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012, the federal government was given permission to stage propaganda events and there have been dozens of them since then. These staged mass shootings are perfectly "legal" and have been wildly successful, creating a whole new sick, art form, with the help of centralized media empires -- one of the most successful forms of fraud in the history of the human race. The goal is not just to shred the Second Amendment and make tens of millions of dollars, but to increase division in society, make citizens weak, drained and fearful; and promote a state of government dependence. Fear is conducive to government control and so is mental enfeeblement. These events have a cumulative psychological effect and it's not healthy. This is not to say that there isn't a real gun problem in the U.S. -- and you can find it every Saturday night in cities such as New Orleans, Philadelphia and St. Louis. See my post "Signs of a Staged Mass Shooting" to understand fake events and steel yourself for more.  

THIS outstanding 1983 talk by Matthew J. Browning tells the story of the 19th-century Guernsey Experiment in monetary reform, pointing out its relevance to today.

How Guernsey Beat the Bankers is a 1958 pamphlet that tells how the Island of Guernsey “created its own money, without cost to the taxpayer, and established a prosperous community free of debt:” (Note: The “social credit mentioned in this pamphlet is not the Communist-style social credit.)

An excerpt:

Our story opens in the year 1815. It was a year of considerable difficulty for the people of Britain but the people of the little island of Guernsey were particularly hard hit. The effects of the Napoleonic wars had resulted in a state of despair on the part of the island community due to the acute economic distress then prevailing. The following extract from a document presented by the States (as the island Parliament is called) to the Privy Council speaks very eloquently on the state of affairs:

“In this island, eminently favoured by nature, nothing has been done by art or science towards the least improvement; nothing for the display or enjoyment of local beauties and advantages; not a road, not even an approach to the town, where a horse and cart could pass abreast; and the deep roads only four feet six inches wide, with a footway of two or three feet, from which nothing but the steep banks on each side can be seen, appeared solely calculated for drains to the waters which, running over them, rendered them ever yet deeper and narrower. Not a vehicle, hardly a horse kept for hire, no four-wheeled carriage existed of any kind, and the traveller landed in a town of lofty houses, confined and miserably-paved streets from which he could only penetrate into the country by worse roads, left the island in haste and under the most unfavourable impressions.

“THE perils of an all-digital currency range from the fairly obvious to the altogether inconspicuous. In order to adequately appreciate the crucial importance of establishing and upholding the right to cash, it is necessary to explore them in some detail.

“The clearest danger arising from the elimination of all physical money is the threat to privacy it entails. Purchases using digital money, be they via credit card, mobile phones or online banking, are never as anonymous as cash transactions: a record is invariably created and held by a third party – usually a bank or credit card company. While these entities may be obliged by law to keep such information confidential, such confidentiality can be breached by government pressure or broken by skilful hackers. In short, it is only cash that provides full anonymity – and the concomitant autonomy. Only with physical money may we say with Dostoevsky:

“‘Money is coined liberty.’

“Sadly, the convenience of using credit cards, the rise of online shopping and propaganda campaigns portraying cash as unhygienic or maligning it as an instrument of criminality have generally sufficed to overpower privacy concerns. In order to strengthen the case for establishing a right to cash, it is therefore necessary to study some of the less evident negative consequences of an all-digital currency.”

SOME interesting thoughts on the Trump victory — written the day before the election:

The Trump psyop is so multi-layered and undeniably genius.

The establishment has successfully conditioned both parties to focus on Trump for all the wrong reasons.

He’s not Hitler, like Democrats think. And he’s not a savior, like Republicans think.

He is a very convincing, consuming, and charismatic actor, who will absolutely be selected this election, so he can continue to distract supporters of both parties. (more…)

"THIS will cause acute pain, greater pain than we have ever known; it will be like a sword going right through the heart. Were death still possible we would die for sorrow, but death is over and we have to bear it, till God relieves us. When Christ was in agony in the Garden of Gethsemane, He sweated blood and the drops of His blood fell on the ground. There was then no bodily pain, but only mental sorrow: 'My soul is sorrowful unto death,' He had said on entering the garden. He writhed in agony, and, prostrate on the ground, He pleaded: 'Father, all things are possible unto Thee; let this chalice pass away; yet not My will but Thine be done.' A picture ' indeed of our sorrows in purgatory, when our souls, shall be sorrowful unto death, when mere bodily death would be a welcome respite, when we would be willing to die a thousand times if thereby we could reach God one instant sooner." --- J.P. Arendzen,. Purgatory and Heaven (Sheed and Ward, 1960)  

“APART from the happiness of the saints in heaven, I think there is no joy comparable to that of the souls in purgatory. An incessant communication with God renders their happiness daily more intense, and this union with God grows more and more intimate, according as the impediments to that union, which exist in the soul, are consumed. These obstacles are the rust and the remains, as it were, of sin; and the fire continues to consume them, and thus the soul gradually expands under the divine influence. Thus, according as the rust diminishes and the soul is laid bare to the divine rays, happiness is augmented. The one grows and the other wanes until the time of trial is elapsed. Yet the pain is not lessened, it is only the time of suffering which decreases. With regard to the will of these souls, they can never say that these pains are pains, so great is their contentment with the ordinance of God, with which their wills are united in perfect charity.” --- St. Catherine of Genoa, Treatise on Purgatory Prayers for the Faithful Departed  

ALAN writes: Enough already!  Could we please talk about something weightier than pollytix and elections? A friend of mine put up a sign in her back yard instructing the squirrels -- in plain English, yet -- that they should not eat from the feeder intended for the birds.  Alas, Mama Squirrel has disregarded the sign and helps herself to the daily offerings.  Not that we blame her.  We suspect that she is a distant cousin of Peanut and is in mourning.  

AN AFRICAN gang reportedly beats an Irishman.

This is the kind of thing you find in this country too, but not in Harris/Walz neighborhoods.

What is the answer to this phenomenon? I will tell you what is not the answer — and that is race war or violent retaliation.

The answer is peaceful separation. Africans belong in Africa and Europeans belong in Europe. Racial harmony is possible, but not by throwing people together into an amorphous mass of workers and consumers. In the meantime, this type of crime should never disturb our good will toward the people we meet in this multicultural society. (more…)

"THE REAL takeaway from this 'election' is just how FAKE the ‘81 million Biden 2020 votes' were. Trump got about 2 million FEWER votes this time than he did in 2020 & yet he 'won big' this time? Kamala got about 14 mil FEWER votes than Biden did in 2020? Are we expected to believe that Biden was THAT popular? Or is it now more than obvious that the fraud during 2020 was SO massive that it truly boggles the mind. Clearly when the Dems were being watched more carefully in 2024 they simply couldn't pull off a fraud at that 2020 level. And when NOBODY goes to prison for what we now KNOW happened in 2020, it will be clear that both parties are in on the whole scam together. Tacking back and forth between red and blue as they sail us all to prison island under the guise of 'voting.'" Legalman  

WHEN European settlers came to this continent in the 15th and 16th century, they found a vast and magnificent wilderness populated by barbarous people given to tribal warfare and demon gods.

Europeans conquered America and, despite the conflict among colonial powers, it was a righteous conquest.

Europe gained a new and much-needed territory to support its families and defend what still remained of Christian civilization from Islam and Asian apathy, from the darkness of Africa, from the rationalism and atheism afflicting the European continent.

We take it so for granted. But America could have been conquered by a much worse people. Left to itself, it would have been.

Beginning in the 16th century, Muslims, over the course of three centuries, would drag into slavery more than 1.25 million Europeans, snatching them from ships and off the coasts of the Mediterranean and even the North Atlantic. Major portions of the Italian coastline were abandoned, so fearful were people of Muslim raiders. Thousands of European boys were taken to surgery centers by Jewish slave dealers and castrated. They would serve as eunuchs for Muslim harems and Ottoman courts and, unless they were ransomed, would never see their families again. (See ‘Recommended Reading’ below for sources.) That’s how powerful Islam was — and the Europeans who first came to America were highly conscious of the threat. (more…)

I PREDICT that a candidate who violated the U.S. Constitution, committed treason, took part in devastating fraud and established the conditions for wild inflation -- all in a first term in the White House -- will be our next president. I don't know whether it will be Trump or Kamala yet.
