When Kamala Harris mocked Jesus, she joined Obama, Hillary, and Biden in the relatively new tradition of antagonizing potential voters, something we never saw before the Kenyan was installed. Politicians never insulted any voter, and went to great lengths to try to appeal to everyone in order to win votes. Curiously, after Obama became president, he had no problem revealing his disdain for the conservative “bitter clingers to guns and religion”, Hillary exulted in ridiculing the “basket of Deplorables” who supported Trump, and Biden called them “white supremacists” and “terrorists”. It appears the tradition of insulting American voters signaled the end of any actual votes electing representatives, and the actual installation of operatives by “elites”.

Kamala Harris’ triumphant rejection of Jesus Christ may well be a bridge too far for the Novus Ordo religionists who were so gleeful at Trump being ousted in 2020, uncaring of the very shady circumstances. We will see if these “Catholics” support this communist even after she openly scorns Christ.

Will their Trump-hate overcome their love of Christ? (more…)

A MAN yells "Jesus is Lord" and "Christ is King" at a Kamala event while she's promoting abortion. To wild applause, she tells him he's at the wrong rally and should be at the "smaller one" down the street.  

OCTOBER — Robert Frost O hushed October morning mild, Thy leaves have ripened to the fall; Tomorrow’s wind, if it be wild, Should waste them all. The crows above the forest call; Tomorrow they may form and go. O hushed October morning mild, Begin the hours of this day slow. Make the day seem to us less brief. Hearts not averse to being beguiled, Beguile us in the way you know. Release one leaf at break of day; At noon release another leaf; One from our trees, one far away. Retard the sun with gentle mist; Enchant the land with amethyst. Slow, slow! For the grapes’ sake, if they were all, Whose leaves already are burnt with frost, Whose clustered fruit must else be lost— For the grapes’ sake along the wall.

CHARLIE DAVENPORT, at age 100, reminisced about his days as a slave:

Us Niggers didn’ know nothin’ ’bout what was gwine on in de outside worl’. All us knowed was dat a war was bein’ fit. Pussonally, I b’lieve in what Marse Jefferson Davis done. He done de only thing a gent’man could a-done. He tol’ Marse Abe Lincoln to ’tend to his own bus’ness an’ he’d ’tend to his’n. But Marse Lincoln was a fightin’ man an’ he come down here an’ tried to run other folks’ plantations. Dat made Marse Davis so all fired mad dat he spit hard ’twixt his teeth an’ say, “I’ll whip de socks off den dam Yankees.”

Dat’s how it all come ’bout.

My white folks los’ money, cattle, slaves, an’ cotton in de war, but dey was till better off dan mos’ folks.

Lak all de fool Niggers o’ dat time I was right smart bit by de freedom bug for awhile. It sounded pow’ful nice to be tol’:

“You don’t have to chop cotton no more. You can th’ow dat hoe down an’ go fishin’ whensoever de notion strikes you. An’ you can roam ’roun’ at night an’ court gals jus’ as late as you please. Aint no marster gwine a-say to you, ‘Charlie, you’s got to be back when de clock strikes nine.’”

I was fool ’nough to b’lieve all dat kin’ o’ stuff. But to tell de hones’ truf, mos’ o’ us didn’ know ourse’fs no better off. Freedom meant us could leave where us’d been born an’ bred, but it meant, too, dat us had to scratch for us ownse’fs. Dem what lef’ de old plantation seamed so all fired glad to git back dat I made up my min’ to stay put. I stayed right wid my white folks as long as I could. (more…)

"SLAVERY was put down in America, not in consequence of any action on the part of the slaves, or even any express desire on their part that they should be free. It was put down entirely through the grossly illegal conduct of certain agitators in Boston and elsewhere, who were not slaves themselves, nor owners of slaves, nor had anything to do with the question really. It was, undoubtedly, the Abolitionists who set the torch alight, who began the whole thing. And it is curious to note that from the slaves themselves they received, not merely very little assistance, but hardly any sympathy even; and when at the close of the war the slaves found themselves free, found themselves indeed so absolutely free that they were free to starve, many of them bitterly regretted the new state of things." --- Oscar Wilde,  The Soul of Man under Socialism (1891)  

FREEDOM is all right, but de niggers was better off befo' surrender, kaze den dey was looked after an' dey didn' get in no trouble fightin' an' killin' like dey do dese days. If a nigger cut up an' got sassy in slavery times, his Ole Marse give him a good whippin' an' he went way back an' set down an' 'haved hese'f. If he was sick, Marse an' Mistis looked after him, an' if he needed store medicine, it was bought an' give to him; he didn' have to pay nothin'. Dey didn' even have to think 'bout clothes nor nothin' like dat, dey was wove an' made an' give to dem. Maybe everybody's Marse and Mistis wuzn' good as Marse George and Mis' Betsy, but dey was de same as a mammy an' pappy to us niggers. --- Tempie Herndon Durham, 103 years old (1937)  

  

AT In the Spirit of Chartres, I talked a bit today with Judith Sharpe about the history of slavery. I hope to have more on the subject in the future. We only scratched the surface. The above photo is of Isaac Jefferson, a slave of Thomas Jefferson's whom I mentioned today and who was born in 1775. Isaac shared his memories of his slave days at Monticello, Virginia with Charles Campbell in the 1840s. Campbell collected them in the book Memories of a Monticello Slave. Isaac's account does not fit the popular narrative of slavery in America or the views conveyed to visitors to Monticello today, where more than $20 million was recently spent to diminish Thomas Jefferson's legacy and reputation by making slavery the central fact of his life and presenting it in a harshly negative light, with a 60-foot-long, steel sculpture created to help visitors solemnly reflect on the suffering of slaves at Monticello. Isaac seemed to have only tender memories of his master. From the book: Mr. Jefferson always singing when ridin or walkin: hardly see him anywhar out doors but what he was a-singin: had a fine clear voice, sung minnits (minuets) & sich: fiddled in the parlor. Old master very kind to servants. And: Mr. Jefferson bowed to everybody he meet: talked wid his arms folded. Gave the boys in the nail-factory a pound of meat a week, a dozen herrings, a quart of molasses &…

ST. GREGORY of Nyssa was arguably the world’s first abolitionist. In the fourth century, he condemned all trafficking of human beings and it is one of the great tragedies of history that his view was not heeded many centuries later when the transatlantic slave trade began:

“For what is such a gross example of arrogance (…) as for a human being to think himself the master of his own kind? ‘I got me slaves and slave-girls’, he says, ‘and homebred slaves were born for me’.

“Do you notice the enormity of the boast? This kind of language is raised up as a challenge to God. For we hear from prophecy that all things are the slaves of the power that transcends all (Ps 119/118,91). So, when someone turns the property of God into his own property and arrogates dominion to his own kind, so as to think himself the owner of men and women, what is he doing but overstepping his own nature through pride, regarding himself as something different from his subordinates?

“’I got me slaves and slave-girls’. What do you mean? You condemn man to slavery, when his nature is free and possesses free will, and you legislate in competition with God, overturning his law for the human species. The one made on the specific terms that he should be the owner of the earth, and appointed to government by the Creator – him you bring under the yoke of slavery, as though defying and fighting against the divine decree.

"BY supporting NAZI-ism and Hitler worship as the solution to the malaise of Masonic-Bolshevikism [sic], these greenspammers undermine the foundations of our Christian and Anglo society. They do so by replacing: the free-market with socialism, European Christian society with racial purity and occultism, and law and order with might makes right and violence, along with the idolization of a morally evil, highly stigmatized man. .... "World War Two is a tragic event in history and it is this author's opinion that both World Wars were organized by Satan and his minion to destroy Christianity, yet we should be glad that Hitler did not win for his victory would have achieved our great enemy's goal far more than his defeat did which allowed for half of Europe to exist as a free society for some time." --- The case against Hitler, and why Britain was right to stay in the war

KAMALA Harris delivered the above statement yesterday in “honor” of “Indigenous People’s Day.” Of course, we’ve long known what it would mean when the name of this day was changed from Columbus Day and given this mouthful of a name. Communists love to change holidays and to eradicate the roots of the people they conquer — while maintaining their own. Still Kamala’s openly Marxist comments and undisguised contempt (notice her facial expressions) for America’s origins — on a day once devoted to patriotism — are shocking even for her. These are the words of a dangerous revolutionary. Furthermore, they are false, or at the very least highly slanted.

Columbus Day used to be a day to love America. Now it’s a day to hate it. Again, look at the anger. She has all but said, “Get Whitey.”

“We must not shy away” from the truth, Harris says.

The truth is, no people have been more interested in the crimes of their ancestors than European-Americans. No people have written and read more books or watched more movies about the dark deeds of their forebears or explored more honestly their history. They do not “shy away” from admitting wrongs.

I have been contemplating your October 2 post about Hurricane Hazel and other natural disasters.

I agree with many of your points about fear mongering and what (in my opinion) is quite frankly a global warming hoax. I do believe that the issue is a bit more nuanced when it comes to weather warfare; that is to say that it appears that we have the capacity to steer hurricanes, at least to some extent. In reference to the most recent hurricane (Helene) perhaps you have seen this short video.

Apparently the capacity to steer hurricanes has been available for at least 70 years. (That is not to say every hurricane is steered.) I leave you with a video on that history. While I do not endorse everything this man says or does, I am simply leaving the video here to consider his points on the ability to steer hurricanes. It’s up to us to dig deeper and not buy into everything we hear in the media. (more…)
