“WHILE the True Mass was being withdrawn from them, the people watched and endured it helplessly, uncomprehendingly, resignedly. And all the while it was being done, they were being ‘re-educated’: on the one hand, while the True Mass was being hidden from view, erased from their memory, every kind of irreverent, pseudo-liturgical, and specious criticism was being made against it by their clerical indoctrinators; on the other hand, as the parts of the Replacement were being eased in, various and sundry equally implausible rationalizations were being pumped into their bewildered brains. Those who showed mistrust and suspicion or who raised objections were subjected to withering scorn. Even now, most Catholics are unaware of the immeasurable dissimilarity between the True Mass and its perfidious Plagiarism. (more…)

As an RN forced into retirement due to refusing to take the shot, I consider this a good summation of what went down in hospitals. My small town had very little “Covid”, so I did not experience the horrors of the big cities.

It was Trump’s giving blanket liability immunity for all things “Covid” that allowed, actually facilitated, most of this to happen. It allowed non-medical administrators to practice “medicine”, sidelined the medical people, and enabled outright killing of people. This is not spoken of, but without that, these [bureaucrats] would never have risked their necks. And that immunity is why the pharma companies were pushing for getting it on the childhood “vax” schedule: liability immunity is a license to experiment, sterilize, kill. (more…)

"FLIES harass us less by what they do than by reason of their multitude, and so great matters give us less disturbance than a multitude of small affairs. Accept the duties which come upon you quietly, and try to fulfill them methodically, one after another. If you attempt to do everything at once, or with confusion, you will only cumber yourself with your own exertions, and by dint of perplexing your mind you will probably be overwhelmed and accomplish nothing. "In all your affairs lean solely on God’s Providence, by means of which alone your plans can succeed. Meanwhile, on your part work on in quiet co-operation with Him, and then rest satisfied that if you have trusted entirely to Him you will always obtain such a measure of success as is most profitable for you, whether it seems so or not to your own individual judgment." --- St. Francis de Sales  

TAUGHT by the world around her that housewives are failures in life, it’s no wonder this woman ended up where she is —  divorced, childless and past her prime.

From The New York Post:

Melissa Persling recently wrote an essay for Business Insider titled, “I’m 38 and single, and I recently realized I want a child. I’m terrified I’ve missed my opportunity.” She said after it went viral in November, hate began to pour in from men telling her that she’s lived a selfish life. Persling has a much different account of her story.

When Persling was 22, she married a traditional man and moved to a rural community in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, where she grew up.

“He wanted a simple life with children and home-cooked meals,” she said. However, Persling – despite coming from a religious Christian background – made it clear to her husband-to-be that she did not want children.

“At that time I felt very strongly I did not want children, that I wasn’t going to be like the traditional housewife. I knew I did want to pursue a career,” she told Fox News Digital in an interview. “And I felt very strongly that that would never change. And I guess I was wrong.”

Millions of women like her have been betrayed by feminism during their young and impressionable years. It takes courage to buck the conditioning and become a housewife or support the ideals of domestic life. At least Persling has the humility to admit she was wrong.

By the way, the media, after glorifying careerism in women every day of the week, seems to take perverse delight in stories like this that frighten and demoralize young women with the specter of childlessness and a lonely old age. Creating fear, depression and anxiety is a big business. The reality is, whatever a woman has experienced, however much she has been betrayed by falsehoods and however many bad decisions she has made, she can still find happiness at any age in life by pursuing truth and virtue. (Persling could make some progress in this direction by dressing with feminine dignity and modesty.)

IT'S time the world knew what the Talmud, the holiest book of Judaism, says about non-Jews. It says they are animals who may be cheated, murdered, lied to and sexually exploited. A Polish member of parliament, using a fire extinguisher to put the candles out on a menorah in the hallway of the parliament building, tried to bring this to the world's attention. Grzegorz Braun is, of course, facing the usual barrage of insults and defamation experienced by anyone who dares to speak out against Jewish supremacism. I'm sure this minor act of righteous vandalism that harmed no one will be equated with mass murder. Any criticism of Jewish power is considered literally genocidal. The dishing out of vicious cruelty and name-calling to righteous critics of Jewish power is in itself an affirmation of the Talmudic mindset. The hatred Jews so glibly accuse others of is psychological projection of the hatred of the Other that lies embedded in the Talmud. Though no one should despise or mistreat a person for privately celebrating menorahs, as many people do without malice, Braun was indeed correct that menorahs should never be lit in government buildings in Poland -- or in any ostensibly free nation anywhere on the earth. Note: This is not a blanket endorsement of Grzegorz Braun, whom I know nothing more about, and it is not a blanket endorsement of site linked.  

“[S]INCE the inception of the U.S. Federal Reserve, the U.S. dollar has lost 97 per cent of its purchasing power, and there have been 19 recessions, the great depression of the 1930s and the current great depression which started in 2008, and notwithstanding mainstream media propaganda, appears to have all the symptoms of a depression. Since 1910, the National Debt has increased from $2.65 billion to $17.5 trillion in 2014, while unfunded liabilities exceed $240 trillion.” --- Stephen Mitford Goodson, A History of Central Banking and the Enslavement of Mankind [Blackhouse Publishing, 2014]  

"SINCE World War II ever increasing numbers of married women in the Western world, deluded by the malevolent propaganda of feminism and gender equality, have been forced to seek employment, so that their families can pay the ever increasing amounts of interest necessary in order to make ends meet. Most of this interest is accrued on mortgage loans i.e. on money which banks have created out of nothing. The direct result of this iniquitous financial system has been the undermining of normal family life and a dramatic reduction in female fertility. According to Aaron Russo, the Rockefellers were behind this diabolical scheme which was created to draw women into the income tax net, place their children in school at an early age where they could be indoctrinated, destabilise society and set up the New World Order. In this manner the link between usury and demographic decline has been established. Even if the usury system should be abolished in its entirety within the next five to ten years, these trends will not be easily reversed over both the short and medium term. If usury remains intact, then the world must brace itself for a depression, similar to the Dark Ages, which will last for many centuries."

Letter from Abraham Lincoln Chicago Illinois December 1864 Colonel E D Taylor: I have long determined to make public the origin of the greenback and tell the world that it is one of Dick Taylor's creations. You have always been friendly to me, and when troublous times fell upon us, and my shoulders, though broad and willing, were weak and myself surrounded by such circumstances and such people that I knew not whom to trust, then I said in my extremity, "I will send for Colonel Taylor; he will know what to do." I think it was in January 1862, on or about the 16th, that I did so. You came, and I said to you, "What shall we do?" Said you, "Why, issue treasury notes bearing no interest, printed on the best banking paper. Issue enough to pay off the army expenses, and declare it legal tender." Chase thought it a hazardous thing, but we finally accomplished it, and gave to the people of this Republic the greatest blessing they ever had - their own paper to pay off their own debts. It is due to you, the father of the present greenback that the people should know it, and I take great pleasure in making it known. How many times I have laughed at you telling me plainly that I was too lazy to be anything but a lawyer. Yours truly A Lincoln  

FROM The Modern Idolatry, Being An Analysis Of Usury and The Pathology of Debt by Jeffrey Mark (Chatto & Windus, 1934):

The present position of the monetary system, which is the beginnings of its complete breakdown, is the living reductio ‘ad absurdum’ of a proposition which first formulated itself in man’s consciousness thousands of years ago, which has since been worked out in human flesh and blood, and which has now reached its illogical conclusion in this century.

[…]

The present monetary mechanism is “obsolete” because it derives from dark and unsuspected throw-backs in the human subconscious. It is only by realizing and admitting that these dark places in the subconscious are part of the traditional pathology of idolatry that we can connect the workings of the present system not only with such visible evidences of destruction and sacrifice as the toleration of unemployment in a society where actual employment constitutes the only claim to independent existence; with the sabotage of plant and commodities and the restriction of production, on a large and increasing scale, side by side with the fact of partial or total destitution for millions throughout civilization; with the imminence of a second international war in a world which dreads it, which cannot “afford” it, and which prays for peace: but also with the desperate sense of frustration, resulting in suicide, mental illness, neurosis, involuntary cynicism and disillusionment, and every variety of psychological perversion or inversion which is the unfortunate inheritance, or developed experience, of every sensitive person who responds to or is brave enough to exercise his creative impulse in life as it is to-day. It is particularly necessary to realize this, because we have so long been the victims of the vagaries, stupidities and the monstrous injustices of the monetary system, that large sections of the population in every country have come to regard even the acutest forms of material and psychological misery as part of the natural order of things.

"THE demographics of Singapore's multiracial citizen population has remained stable for five decades, at approximately 75% Chinese, 15% Malay, and 8% Indian, and 2% other. "The Singaporean government stated that they have a "commitment to maintain the racial balance in the citizen population, [which] enables us to preserve social stability and the multiracial character of our society" (source). "Since Chinese are the majority demographic, I presume this actually means "we need to stop the Indians and Malays from outnumbering us." Only ~60% of Singapore's total population are citizens, eligible to vote, hold office, etc. "Of the remaining ~40% who are politically disenfranchised, ~10% are 'permanent residents' and ~30% are 'non-residents.' According to the 2010 census, ~43% of Singapore's total population were foreign born. "Not a situation that any Western country should emulate, but it does prove that you can maintain stability simply by refusing citizenship to immigrants." -- Thuletide

FROM Swiss Policy Research Group: Since the founding of Hamas in 1987, Israeli, American and Palestinian officials have repeatedly acknowledged that Israel did indeed help create and fund the Islamist group. The point made by many of these officials is not that Israel “allowed” the rise of Hamas or that Hamas emerged in response to Israeli “occupation” of Palestine. Rather, their point was and is that Israel’s intelligence agencies actively helped create and finance the Hamas group. As the officials cited below make clear, the overall goal of supporting Hamas has been to thwart the creation of a Palestinian state and avert the implementation of a two-state solution to the Palestine question. From Israel’s perspective, a two-state solution would reduce Israel’s territory to the internationally recognized pre-1967 borders, prohibit any future territorial expansion, and prevent the recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital city. More specifically, supporting the Islamist Hamas group has served several Israeli objectives at once: first, it undermined Yasser Arafat’s secular nationalist PLO; second, it helped prevent the implementation of the 1993 Oslo Accords; third, it undermined the Palestinian National Authority and isolated Gaza from the Westbank; fourth, it impeded Western support for the Palestinian cause; and fifth, it justified Israeli (counter-)attacks on Palestinian territory.

 To the Virgin Immaculate O Virgin Immaculate, Mother of God and my Mother, from thy sublime height turn upon me thine eyes of pity. Filled with confidence in thy goodness and knowing full well thy power, I beseech thee to extend to me thine assistance in the journey of life, which is so full of dangers for my soul. And in order that I may never be the slave of the devil through sin, but may ever live with my heart humble and pure, I entrust myself wholly to thee. I consecrate my heart to thee for ever, my only desire being to love thy divine Son Jesus. Mary, none of thy devout servants has ever perished; may I too be saved. Amen. Indulgence of 500 days.
