Rome’s Extraordinary Immigration Lies

Posted in Immigration, tagged , , , , , on August 13, 2023| Leave a Comment »

Members of a US-bound migrant caravan stand on a road after federal police briefly blocked their way outside the town of Arriaga, Saturday, Oct. 27, 2018. Hundreds of Mexican federal officers carrying plastic shields had blocked the caravan from advancing toward the United States, after several thousand of the migrants turned down the chance to apply for refugee status and obtain a Mexican offer of benefits.

In last week’s post, I detailed how a few GOP lawmakers have pointed the finger at Rome for its extraordinary role in promoting the extraordinary immigration treason carried out on a daily basis by the Biden Regime all along our Southwestern border.

Unsurprisingly, prelates of the Roman Catholic Church-State in good cry bully fashion have come out whining about all the supposedly unfair criticism of Holy Mother Church. 

As a case in point, let’s look at a recent article by Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio, retired bishop of the Dioceses of Brooklyn.  His piece titled “Fix the immigration system but don’t scapegoat the Church.”  In the bishop’s opinion, the problem is not the millions of illegal aliens pouring across our southern border and imposing their costs on the American people.  The problem is that there are not enough legal immigration channels.  In his words, “the real issue the nation is confronting” is “a lack of legal channels for migration under our present immigration laws.” 

Put another way, the ongoing immivasion of the United States and all its attendant evils is the fault of stingy American immigration laws and the selfish American people and the selfish politicians they elect.  By no means is it the fault of the welfare migrants violating our immigration laws, and certainly it isn’t the fault of the Catholic Church or its eminent representatives such as, say, Bishop DiMarzio. 

According to DiMarzio,

A review of the social ministry teaching of the Church will help dispel the doubts that have been placed in the public forum by some uninformed public officials. First, let me be clear: The Church does not advocate for open borders. In fact, the teaching is clear that a sovereign nation has the right to admit those whom it chooses, but it must be based on the common good — not only of the receiving nation but also of the migrants.

This is an extraordinary lie.  The Roman Church-State by all means advocates for open borders and has zero respect for national sovereignty.  In fact, there are few things in all the world that Rome hates more than sovereign nations making their own decisions without consulting the Antichrist popes of Rome.

The Trouble with Scotland

And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab: and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipeth a dish, wiping it, and turning it upside down.

  • 2 Kings 21:13

“The trouble with Scotland is that it’s full of Scots.” Or so said the evil English king Edward Longshanks in the movie Braveheart. 

I bring this up because Edward’s view of Scotland, at least as depicted in the movie, seems to have been adopted by every government, every university, and every institution of any power in the Western world. 

Except for Viktor Orban in Hungary, I cannot think of a single head of state in the West that is not openly working for the destruction of his own people.  It’s an amazing phenomenon to behold and one that demands an explanation.

In Canada, Justin Trudeau is at war with the Canadian people.  The trouble with Canada is that it’s full of Canadians. The current occupant of the White House (I do not call him president) has openly and repeatedly expressed his disdain for a large swath of the American people.  The trouble with America, in Jesuit Joe’s opinion, is that it’s full of Americans. The seed was sown for recent Islamic riots in France by the French government’s policy of importing millions of Muslims into the country over the past several decades, such that Muslims now make up about 10% of the French population.  In Great Britain, the government’s decades-old immigration policy has reduced London’s white British population to minority status, while the government shows no interest in stopping the illegal alien invasion coming across the English Channel.  In the Netherlands, Prime Minister Mark Rutte’s government has attempted to destroy the nation’s farmers under the guise of fighting climate change.  There are reports that Rutte’s government intended to take 3,000 farms and use the land to house migrant invaders.  And speaking of Scotland, the new Scottish First Minister is a Muslim named Humza Yousaf.  Imagine that.  A Muslim ruling in the land of John Knox.  Apparently, Scotland is no longer as full of Scots as it was in Edward’s day.

I could go on, but the pattern is clear.  Western governments have abandoned the idea that they are the servants of the people and are instead attempting to destroy their own people.

The Protestant Reformation and the American Republic

Posted in Politics, tagged , , , , on July 2, 2023| 4 Comments »

Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof.

  • Leviticus 25:10

As we approach the 247th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, I’m moved once again to consider what a precious and rare commodity liberty is. 

Throughout the course of human history, most people have lived under some form of lawless tyranny.  Whether it was the pharaohs and kings of the ancient near east, the Caesars of Rome, the medieval popes, or the fascist and communist dictators of more recent times, the lot of most men in most places at most times is to have their rulers “lord it over them” as Jesus put it.

Given the long history of tyranny experienced by the human race, it’s worth asking why it is that we in the West have experienced such a long and blessed period of liberty.  Growing up, I was taught that our constitutional republic was the product of the Enlightenment.  It wasn’t until I was long out of school that I learned that the liberty that we historically have enjoyed as Americans was not the product of secular thought, but of the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century.

The Defenestration of Tucker Carlson

Posted in Politics, tagged , , , , , , on April 30, 2023| 1 Comment »

“Looks Like He Made it While Waiting for a Table at the Cracker Barrel.” That was Jimmy Kimmel’s arrogant comment about Tucker Carlson’s video from which this image was taken.

Defenestration.  It’s an interesting word.  One that gets your attention. 

Literally, it means the act of throwing someone out of a window – for a Biblical example, think of Queen Jezebel. A more recent example is known in history as the Second Defenestration of Prague which took place in 1618 and is cited as a spark that set off the Thirty Years’ War. 

When used today, defenestration is commonly meant in a figurative sense.  That is the sudden or violent removal of someone from his position.  And it is in the metaphorical sense that I use the term in this instance. 

I confess I found Carlson’s work to be a breath of fresh air compared to the normal diet of talking points from network new programs.  He was, in my opinion, the only mainstream TV personality that was worth watching.  Any number of times I found myself watching his show in amazement at what he was talking about.  Not, mind you, that I was amazed at the content so much as I was that someone on a major network was actually saying it. 

On any given night, you could hear Carlson talking about replacement migration, the plight of men in modern America, opposing the war in Ukraine, defending the January 6th “insurrectionists,” criticizing the Federal Reserve’s practice of money printing, raising questions about the “most secure election in American history,” questioning the COVID cult including its most sacred mRNA gene therapy “vaccine” sacrament, skewering Critical Race Theory, and lambasting the LGBTQ agenda.  At this best, watching Carlson was like watching an independent YouTuber or reading a blog.  It was as close to an anti-corporate, anti-mainstream journalistic experience as I have seen in corporate-controlled media. 

Over the past week since the cancellation of Carlson’s show, there has been no end to the theories about why his popular program was canceled.  One article titled “5 Theories That Are Swirling Around The Internet About Why Fox News Fired Tucker Carlson” does a nice job summarizing the more popular theories making the rounds of the internet. 

For my part, I think there are two closely related reasons for his removal.  First, Carlson had the audacity to speak up for ordinary, white Americans and defend them from elites out to do them harm.  Second, this is part of the establishment plan to rig the 2024 presidential election for Joe Biden or whomever they plan to install in the White House next year.

Vatican Fiend Skulking Behind ESG

Posted in Globalism, tagged , , , , , , , , , , on April 23, 2023| 2 Comments »

Group photo of Antichrist and his fellow globalist fiends in the Council for Inclusive Capitalism with the Vatican. Yes, that’s really the name of this group. Note, to Pope Francis’ right is Lynn Forester de Rothchild, heiress of the Rothchild central banking dynasty, Mark Carney, former head of the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England, and Brian Moynihan, Chairman of the Board and CEO of Bank of America, one of America’s, and one of the world’s, largest financial institutions.

And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.

  • 2 Corinthians 11:14

If you were to ask people what ESG is, odds are you’d get a blank stare.  On the other hand, if you were to ask people about the Bud Light ad campaign featuring transgender “woman” Dylan Mulvaney, there’s probably a better chance they’d know what you’re talking about. 

ESG is short for Environmental, Social, and Governance Investing.  According to Investopedia, ESG investing refers to a set of standards for a company’s behavior used by socially conscious investors to screen potential investments.”

Put differently, ESG is the investing philosophy pushing companies to pursue wokeness over profitability and is the theory of which Bud Light’s transgender ad campaign is the practice. 

The Dylan Mulvaney ad campaign, at least according to some American conservatives, has backfired on Anheuser Busch, leading to a boycott of the brand, a drop in the parent company’s stock, and falling sales.  Supporting the notion that the ad campaign has angered many customers is the report that the VP of marketing who headed the ad campaign has “taken a leave of absence.”   

Worth noting is that this is not Anheuser Busch’s first foray into woke advertising.  In 2016, the company ran an ad celebrating homosexual marriages for Gay Pride Month, a time of year formerly known as June, but in recent years is become a sodomite bacchanalia.

There are other examples of woke advertising.  A few years back. Gillette ran an ad campaign that took aim at its customer base, men.  I can’t speak for others, but I switched from using Gillette products and will never go back.

 Doubtless, other examples of woke advertising can be found.  What is remarkable about them, at least the examples cited above, is that they seem to contradict every assumption we have about the purpose of advertising.  If advertising is about getting people to like and to purchase your product, how does insulting your customer base help achieve that end?  It hardly seems like what we would expect in a capitalist system.

The Twitter Files: There’s Fascism in Your Social Media

Posted in Social Media, tagged , , , , , , , , on December 18, 2022| Leave a Comment »

Over the past few years, it’s been common to hear defenders of social media censorship retort to those who complain about, “Twitter is a private company, and they can ban whom they want.  If you don’t like it, go start your own Twitter!” 

One interesting aspect of this argument is that those who made it generally were individuals who were not known to respect laissez-faire capitalism or private property.  In fact, they tended to be socialists of one stripe or another. 

Those who complained about the censorship, generally those people who tended to favor political and economic liberty, then were wrongfooted.  Either they felt they had to call for government regulation of social media, which contradicted their free market principles or to make charges that the government was behind the censorship, at which point they’d be called “conspiracy theorists.”

“Conspiracy theorist” is one of those terms that seemingly everyone wants to avoid.  “I’m by no means a conspiracy theorist,” is a common turn of phrase people will use when they’re about to introduce an idea that sounds like a conspiracy theory.  It’s as if to believe in conspiracies is the very height of ignorance, and that one must deny conspiracies exist if he wants to remain a member of society in good standing. 

But conspiracies do exist and are even recognized in criminal law.  In many Western nations, one can be charged with conspiracy to commit murder.  In the Bible, we find many conspiracies. When Absalom sought to overthrow David, his plot was rightly described in the King James Bible as a conspiracy.  Twice, the Apostle Paul found himself the object of conspiracies to kill him.  The arrest and crucifixion of Christ was the culmination of a three-year-long conspiracy by the Jewish religious leaders to get rid of the man they perceived, rightly, as a threat to their power.  Doubtless, other examples of conspiracies can be found in the Bible, but these should be sufficient to make the point that conspiracies are not a figment of the imagination, but a documented historical reality. 

If he has done nothing else, Elon Musk has exposed for all the world to see that the “conspiracy theorists” were right.  As the Twitter Files have revealed, the government was deeply involved in the social media censorship business.  Not that there was any lack of evidence of this previously.  For example, the New York Post ran a headline on July 15, 2021, that read, “White House ‘flagging’ posts for Facebook to censor over COVID ‘misinformation.’” The Independent ran a piece on February 3, 2022, with the headline, “White House urges Spotify to take further action on Joe Rogan: “More can be done.’”  Why did the White House want Spotify to censor Joe Rogan?  It was due to the popular podcaster’s explosive interview with Dr. Robert Malone, who among other things, called the hysteria over Covid an example of “mass formation psychosis.”

The 2022 Midterms: A Preview

Posted in Politics, tagged , , , , , on November 6, 2022| 1 Comment »

“In our bones, we know democracy is at risk,” said Joe Biden at Union Station, Washington D.C., 11/2/2022.

“Donald Trump if the Democrats don’t steal it.”

Two years ago about this time, I was sitting in a friend’s family room watching the final Trump/Biden presidential debate.  My friend had asked me who I thought was going to win the 2020 presidential election and I replied to him that I thought Trump would win if the Democrats didn’t steal the election.

As things turned out, the Democrats with a little help from their friends in the Deep State, major corporations, the courts, the Covid lockdowns, Antifa, Black Lives Matter, the mainstream media, major social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, the entertainment industry, pollsters, schools, universities, and various and sundry thugs in the Democrat party, etc. did manage to steal the election for the most incompetent and uninspiring presidential candidate in my lifetime, possibly in all of American history. 

The theft of the 2020 presidential election and the ability of the Democrats and their helpers to make it stick bodes ill for the future of our republic.  The successful steal, perhaps it’s better to call it a coup d’état, of the 2020 election has led many to the opinion that we cannot vote our way out of the problems currently facing our nation.  Count me among their number. 

But for all that, the aim of this post is not to discourage people from voting, giving up, and heading for their survival bunker in the hills.  As Christians, we are called to be salt and light in a lost and dying world, and this includes carrying out our civic responsibilities the best we are able.  Further, we do not know the future.  Perhaps the Lord will have mercy on America for the sake of his elect and save us from the oppressive darkness we see gathering all around us.  He’s done that sort of thing before, and he can do it again if he so wills.  Has the arm of the Lord been shortened?

For this reason, it’s not my purpose today to fill people with dread and fear of the future.  I’ll leave that to the Democrats.  Rather, my aim is to realistically assess the situation facing America in November 2022 and offer a few suggestions and perhaps even venture a prognostication or two.
