The Toll of Race Mixing in Latin America

June 27, 2023

“[BIOLOGIST LOUIS] Agassiz wrote: ‘Let any one who doubts the evil of this mixture of races, and is inclined from mistaken philanthropy to break down all barriers between them, come to Brazil. He cannot deny the deterioration consequent upon the amalgamation of races, more widespread here than in any country in the world, and which is rapidly effacing the best qualities of the white man, the negro, and the Indian, leaving a mongrel, nondescript type, deficient in physical and mental energy.’

“The mongrel’s political ascendancy produces precisely the results which might have been expected. These unhappy beings, every cell of whose bodies is a battle-ground of jarring heredities, express their souls in acts of hectic violence and aimless instability. The normal state of tropical America is anarchy, restrained only by domestic tyrants or foreign masters. Garcia-Calderon exactly describes its psychology when he writes: ‘Precocious, sensual, impressionable, the Americans of these vast territories devote their energies to local politics. Industry, commerce, and agriculture are in a state of decay, and the unruly imagination of the Creole expends itself in constitutions, programmes, and lyrical discourses; in these regions anarchy is sovereign mistress.’ The tropical republics display, indeed, a tendency toward “‘atomic disintegration. … Given to dreaming, they are led by presidents suffering from neurosis.

“The stock feature of the mongrel tropics is, of course, the ‘revolution.’ These senseless and perennial outbursts are often ridiculed in the United States as comic opera, but the grim truth of the matter is that few Latin American revolutions are laughing matters. The numbers of men engaged may not be very large according to our standards, but measured by the scanty populations of the countries concerned, they lay a heavy blood-tax on the suffering peoples. The tatterdemalion “‘armies’’ may excite our mirth, but the battles are real enough, often fought out to the death with razor-edged machetes and rusty bayonets, and there is no more ghastly sight than a Latin American battle-field. The commandeerings, burnings, rapings, and assassinations inflicted upon the hapless civilian population cry to heaven. There is always wholesale destruction of property, frequently appalling loss of life, and a general paralysis of economic and social activity. These wretched lands have now been scourged by the revolutionary plague for a hundred years, and W. B. Hale does not overstate the consequences when he says: ‘Most of the countries clustering about the Caribbean have sunk into deeper and deeper mires of misrule, unmatched for profligacy and violence anywhere on earth. Revolution follows revolution; one band of brigands succeeds another; atrocities revenge atrocities; the plundered people grow more and more abject in poverty and slavishness; vast natural resources lie neglected, while populations decrease, civilization recedes, and the jungle advances.’’! Of course, under these frightful circumstances, the national character, weak enough at best, degenerates at an ever-quickening pace. Peaceful effort of any sort appears vain and ridiculous, and men are taught that wealth is procurable only by violence and extortion.”

The Myth of a “COVID Bioweapon”

June 26, 2023

JORDON Schachtel writes:

“It’s understandable that some politicians want to declare the Chinese state (which is undoubtedly an authoritarian actor) responsible for the deaths of millions of people worldwide.

“Lab leak or not, what happened amounted to just another cold/flu respiratory season. Everything else was the result of human intervention. It wasn’t a virus that shut down society and spooled up the money printer. Your government did that.

“None of “the measures” were ever necessary because ‘COVID-19’ was nothing more than just another series of years when lots of humans suffered from respiratory illness. Tragically, every year, millions of people, particularly the elderly, don’t make it through the annual respiratory illness season. This is to be expected, as we are not immortal beings.”

Many people died from gruesome and unnecessary medical intervention and neglect, as Schachtel points out in highlighting the infamous Diamond Princess cruise ship, where elderly passengers were put in quarantine on the ship for a month without adequate medical care.

Of the 3,711 people aboard the ship, only 20% tested positive for evidence of the coronavirus, via shoddy PCR swabs. Yet among those 20 percent, the vast majority of passengers and crew who tested positive had zero symptoms.

St. John the Baptist

 “THE faith of our fathers never ignored the great benefits for which both individuals and nations are indebted to Saint John. So many neophytes received his name in baptism, so efficacious was the aid afforded by him in conducting his clients to sanctity, that there is not a day in the Calendar, on which there may not be honoured the heavenly birthday of one or other so named (Annus Johannis, auctore Johanne N. [Pragae, 1664]). Amongst nations, the Lombards formerly claimed Saint John as Patron, and French Canada does the same now-a-days. But whether in East or West, who could count the countries, towns, religious families, abbeys, and churches placed under this same powerful patronage: from the temple which, under Theodosius, replaced that of the ancient Serapis in Alexandria with its famous mysteries, to the sanctuary raised upon the ruins of the altar of Apollo, on the summit of Monte Cassino, by the Patriarch of monks; from the fifteen churches which Byzantium, the new Rome, consecrated within her walls in honour of the Precursor, to the august Basilica of Lateran, well worthy of its epithet, the golden Basilica, and which in the Capital of Christendom remains for ever Mother and Mistress of all churches, not alone of the City, but of the whole world! Dedicated at first to our Saviour, this latter Basilica added at an early date another title which seems inseparable from this sacred name, that of the Friend of the Bridegroom. Saint John the Evangelist, also a ‘friend of Jesus,’ whose precious death is placed by one tradition on the Twenty-fourth day of June, has likewise had his name added to the other two borne by this Basilica; but all the same, it is none the less certain, that common practice is in keeping with ancient documents, in referring, as it does, more especially to the Precursor, the title of Saint John Lateran, whereby the patriarchal Basilica of the Roman Pontiffs is always designated in these days.”

A Midsummer Feast: St. John’s Eve

June 24, 2023


ENJOY a touching recollection of Irish bonfires for St. John’s Eve, the day before the Feast of the Nativity of John the Baptist on June 24th.

Hymn: Antra deserti

Thou, in thy childhood, to the desert caverns
Fleddest for refuge from the cities’ turmoil,
Where the world’s slander might not dim thy luster,
Lonely abiding.

Camel’s hair raiment clothed thy saintly members;
Leathern the girdle which thy loins encircled;
Locusts and honey, with the fountain-water,
Daily sustained thee.

Oft in past ages, seers with hearts expectant
Sang the far-distant advent of the Daystar;
Thine was the glory, as the world’s Redeemer
First to proclaim him.

Far as the wide world reacheth, born of woman,
Holier was there none than John the Baptist;
Meetly in water laving him who cleanseth
Man from pollution.

Praise to the Father, to the Sole-begotten,
And to the Spirit, equal power possessing,
One God whose glory, through the lapse of ages,
Ever resoundeth. Amen.

 

How Alex Jones Manipulates His Audience

June 22, 2023

FROM Fitzpatrick Informer:

“IN Is Alex Jones externalizing the hierarchy?I discussed how Alex Jones serves as cathartic relief for those resisting the New World Order and how he helps to get the masses comfortable with the NWO, thereby diffusing their opposition to it, making for a smoother transition to the one-world government.

“To expand on that, I will break down some of the more technical methods Jones uses to psychologically traumatize his audience into accepting the New World Order, including his use of subliminal messages and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), which is basically the manipulation of communication to provoke at the subconcious level (here is a good video example of how powerful NLP can be). NLP is most prominently used by salesman and mind programmers.

“The most obvious and ubiquitous programming Jones uses is the power of suggestion. You can set your watch by it. As of the writing of this article, Jones did it today on his show. He does it every single show. And that suggestion is the seemingly snide imitation of the elite. If you are listener, you know what I am talking about. It’s when Jones raises his voice and assumes the personality of one of the “elite” and then goes on to mock us victims of the NWO. He does not do this merely to entertain you. It is subtle suggestion and mockery of the victim—you, the listener. It’s a sort of psychodrama. What results from this process is the instilling of fear and learned helplessness into the listener (see Learned helplessness through the alternative media). And if I and many others are correct that Jones is working for the bad guys, then this suggestive programming is to mock us, which feeds their appetite as they destroy us with their world takeover.”

 

 

Rothko and the Modern Art Swindle

June 22, 2023

Bathers or Beach Scene, Mark Rothko

“ROTHKO’s skill in rendering the human form was poor, which is evident in early works like Bathers or Beach Scene (Untitled) (1933/4). [Author Simon] Schama admits as much, noting that: “When he [Rothko] stood in the Brooklyn [Jewish Center] classroom [where he taught art classes from 1929–46] it all seemed so easy. He would tell the children not to mind the rules — painting, he said, was as natural as singing. It should be like music but when he tried it came out as a croak. It’s the work of a painfully knotted imagination. No not very good.”According to the general consensus, Rothko “never stood out as a great draughtsman and could even at times appear clumsy in the execution of his oil paintings.”

“Rothko, in a speech in the mid-thirties, offered a quasi-philosophical rationale for the unimportance of technical skill, stressing “the difference between sheer skill, and skill that is linked to spirit, expressiveness and personality.” He insisted that artistic expression was “unrelated to manual ability or painterly technique, that it is drawn from an inborn feeling for form; the ideal lies in the spontaneity, simplicity and directness of children.” Such grandiloquent pronouncements from Rothko were not unusual, with Collings noting that “Rothko was outrageously over-fruity and grandiose in his statements about art and religion and the solemn importance of his own art.”

“This tendency on his part prompted one writer to declare: “What I find amazing … is how a painting which is two rectangles of different colors can somehow prompt thousands upon thousands of words on the human condition, Marxist dialectics, and social construction.” He suggests a good rule of thumb is “the more obtuse terms an artist and his supporters use to describe a work, the less worth the painting has.  By this definition Rothko may be the most worthless artist in the history of humanity.”

The Gun Called Non-Discrimination

June 20, 2023

ALAN writes:

Recently I spoke with a woman who grew up in St. Louis in the 1950s, as did I.  She was educated in Catholic schools, as was I, but in neighborhoods far apart.

She told me she had two aunts who enjoyed shopping downtown. They did not drive, so they depended on the streetcars or buses to take them downtown and back.  Occasionally they took a taxi.

One day, she told me, they called a taxi company and said, “White driver, please.”

Can’t you hear the “Liberals” howling “Evil and indefensible!”?

It did not seem that way to my acquaintance when she was a girl in the 1950s. But it seems that way to her now. She professes to be shocked by what her aunts said.  She seems to think it was a BAD THING to say and to do.  That, of course, is the standard “Liberal” dogma that has been pounded into Americans for the last 70 years.  Apparently my acquaintance absorbed that dogma and now believes her aunts were guilty of WRONG-THINK and WRONG-SPEAK.  Apparently she sees nothing wrong when government busybodies forbid Americans today to make and act upon the kinds of choices her aunts and other Americans made routinely in the 1950s.

Excuse me, but I see everything wrong with it. I contend not only that there is nothing wrong with “White driver, please”, but that her aunts had an inalienable right to say it and stand by it.  It is an exercise in freedom of choice. It does not prevent anyone else from choosing any taxi driver he desires.

To believe otherwise is, in effect, to annul common sense, the principle of individual rights, freedom of choice and freedom of association in an open marketplace, and the principle of limited government.  And for what?  For the limitless expansion of government power on the pretext of “hurt feelings” claimed by people who want something for nothing.

If you think you do not “discriminate”, think again.  If you are alive and want to remain that way, then you must discriminate endlessly. Read More »

 

A Father and his World

June 18, 2023

My father-in-law’s five children. We don’t have any decent pictures of him.

[Reposted from June, 2014 — Happy Father’s Day to all fathers who find their way to this site.]

FATHER’S DAY brings to mind a father I never knew. My father-in-law, Frank Wood, was dead — and had been dead for ten years — by the time I married my husband 27 years ago.

Though I never met him, it’s not as if I don’t know him. I think I know him pretty well and if he walked in the front door today, I would probably recognize him and know exactly what to offer him. However, I don’t think he would walk in the door if he were alive. He was a man bound to his home and his neighborhood for all but two weeks of the year.

I have a vivid image of him, sitting at the kitchen table on a Sunday evening, having spent a weekend of leisure both at home and at the Eagle Club nearby, and announcing to the assembled at dinner, “Well, the ball game’s over now.” He has told his last story and retold his last joke. He has read his last detective story and flipped the pages of his last adventure magazine. He is approaching his final bites of “rope beef.” Those words on Sunday night signaled that his extended time at home was over and the new week, when he would return to the shipyard where he worked as a machinist, had begun.

The Heart of the Man-God

June 16, 2023

“FOR, it was not with him as with other men, the pulsations of whose hearts are, at first, the consequence of nothing but the vital power which is in the human frame; and, later on, when age has awakened reason into act, the ideas so produced will produce physical impressions on us, which will, now and then, quicken, or dull, the throbbings of these our hearts. With the Man-God it was not so: his Heart, from the very first moment of its life, responded, that is, throbbed, to the law of his soul’s love, whose power to act upon his human Heart was as incessant, and as intense, as is the power of organic vitality,—a love as burning at the first instant of the Incarnation as it is this very hour in heaven. For the human love which the Incarnate Word had, resulting as it did from his intellectual knowledge of God and his creatures, was as perfect as that knowledge, and, therefore, as incapable of all progress; though, being our Brother, and our model in all things, he, day by day, made more manifest to us the exquisite sensibility of his divine Heart.

The War Against White Children

June 16, 2023

“IF I WANTED to destroy a functional society — the sort that white Europeans have built and maintained for millennia — upending the family and harming children would be a high priority. Attacking a society’s children is far easier than other groups and offers significant benefits to those wishing harm. If you can get children to turn on their families ideologically, you can likely get them to do anything you want as they mature. Thus, if I wanted to sever the roots of a people and mold them into obedient serfs, I would start by attacking the children.

“Ensuring that a people’s youth is riddled with guilt and feels a deep sense of disdain for their own identity, family, and race is a crucial measure in the continued destruction of our society. The effects of such learned shame are profound, producing an entire generation — or generations — with no true sense of identity or history.

“White children in contemporary society face a hostile onslaught from nearly every direction. Although we inhabit the same world as they do, they face considerably more antagonism, and their experiences are far more unpleasant. The world they must navigate has changed drastically since I became an adult, less than 20 years ago. White children today must deal with the same crime, hostile media, and racial tensions that we do, but from a more vulnerable place, and face additional stressors such as anti-white teachers and racial bullying at school. All of this coalesces into forms of harm, trauma, and terror for white children that are difficult to understand fully. This essay therefore seeks to understand the history and experience of white children in our society today.”

Dr. William Makis

June 15, 2023

CANADIAN doctor William Makis, M.D., is the best source I have found on COVID vaccine injuries and deaths.

I highly recommend paying the small fee to subscribe to his posts on Substack.

He brings medical expertise and high journalistic standards to the numerous and undeniable reports. He is not sensational. He is essentially amassing a vast criminal file.

Overwhelmingly, the victims of these crimes did not give informed consent. Please support the work of this courageous doctor.
