The nations have fallen into the pit they
have dug;
Their feet are caught in the net they have
hidden.
The Lord is known by His acts of justice;
The wicked are ensnared by the work of their
hands.
- From the ninth Psalm
The obvious is that which is
never seen until someone expresses
it simply.

One of the
most trenchant threads in any motion picture
is this one from Monty Python's Life of Brian.
Through a couple of key scenes we take in the blistering satire
perpetrated by that splendidly valiant revolutionary
organization The People's Front of Judea.
They share so
very much, so very simply.
The People's Front is led by a proudly
demonstrative man named Reg who inspires an upright and
mild-mannered people who just want
things in life to be better for everyone and hold
as the most significant activity to reach that goal
getting rid of that pesky ugly imperialist Roman
Empire patriarchischmarchy.
We are first introduced to Reg and his three cohorts
enjoying a fight at the arena, and our hero Brian
asks to be included. After an
inquiry about his motives, Reg asks him, "Okay, but
how much do you hate the Romans?"
He answers with profound conviction, "A lot."
Reg thinks for about half-a-second, and replies,
"Okay, you're in."
A bit later they are holding a
secret meeting of the group's rank-&-file, which
pitifully numbers barely a dozen. To generate some
enthusiasm Reg asks them a strictly
rhetorical question, "What have the Romans ever done
for us?"
A member meekly answers, "The aqueduct." Reg
reluctantly concedes and repeats the question.
Another comes back with "The roads." Others add
things like sanitation and public safety, until some
ten or fifteen very fine things are mentioned. So Reg
then repeats the question with "Besides the aqueduct, the
roads... [all are cited], what have the
Romans ever done for us?"
The film contains much more fun from The People's Front of
Judea, they could very
well be the best thing in the movie.
I've spent my web ministry life hoping to elucidate
the distinction between the World and the Kingdom as
simply, boldly, and clearly as I can. This simple
montage does quite well with this, to be honest
one comment added to one YouTube posting of a
film's scene puts it
well. "40 years later it is still hilariously on
point. Millions of 16-21 year-olds on the Internet
fighting and talking like this daily. It's amazing."
But, alas. If that is so...
People are still not getting it.
So I will give it a go again, with some thoughts
here in this season's home page piece.
My wife and I recently spent our anniversary weekend in Solvang, a quaint little tourist trap in a
beautiful part of California known as the Santa Ynez
Valley. The town is best known for its cute overbearing Danish look and feel.
Our first morning there we strolled on a trail outside
of town to get there, and were surprised to find
ourselves running right smack into one of the
California missions, named of course Santa Inés
and I have no idea why the difference in spelling.
There it was, in all its majestic glory, as they all
are now pretty-much grand museum pieces
its gift shop stocked with all the idolatrous
Catholic paraphernalia one may purchase.
Still, it does stand as one of those powerful symbols of Roman
Ecclesiocratic dominance in the region. Just like the
performance art so exquisitely exhibited inside
during services, the large pronounced edifice still
bellows to all the stark reality of who rules the World
System.
Out on my morning walk the next day I thought about
and prayed for the apocalyptic revival, in contrast
to beholding this monument. I
thought, huh, for that to really happen it would have to come down. The Romanist
System is only about enslavement to shame, to
guilt, to condemnation... there is no real
freedom there.
But then I thought, oh, if I were to, say,
go take a wrecking ball to the mission building,
indeed to Rome, I'd be doing nothing other
than what the French Revolution iconoclasts were
trying to do. Remember what happened when they took over
Notre Dame? When they thought ridding the
world of the incessantly irritating Romanist scold would bring
niceness and utopia and everything nice? Those
heroic sans-culottes (I'm sure they were really BIPOC
in some way hat tip to the brand new historically accurate Google Gemini "A.I."
image-generating service) tossing out all those
ponderous
saints and biblical heroes, replacing them with busts of the
ultra-enlightened shining halogen lamps of Voltaire,
Rousseau, and even Benjamin Franklin (and certainly
a few BIPOC famous people, you know, we can't be any
less anti-racist) you know, so
the waaay better Goddess of Reason would reign.
Reg would be so proud.
The problem too is that whatever ruling elite is in
power, it is indeed there by God's hand. Grasping
the truths illuminated in Scripture, most pointedly
for this treatise those in the fourth chapter of
Genesis, goes a long way to understanding what God
did with Cain, what his present-day minions do with all ordained
potentates, sectarian or secular and then what
happens with just about any other political thing
that racks our brains far too often.
Any organized rebellion against those powers, even
my own sometimes stirred desire to bring Rome down,
is a part of the Ministry of Sin. In God's
divine wisdom He established the Ministry of
Condemnation to keep that ministry in check,
requiring Rome to employ great evil to combat the
evil that humans routinely do. Me, Reg, the rabid
leftist sporting some kind of Che Guevara-like
t-shirt getting paid good money to rage in the
crusade by, say, splashing tomato soup all over some
really valuable painting and then gluing hands to the wall the
most courageous iconoclasts!
Ahem.
Who will free us from this body of death?
Rome has so many options for System salvation, but
it does so to keep us all hypnotized by the
Romanist mandarins, visible and not-so-visible. It
will blare that it is really doing something about
the evils it provokes, but it does need those evils in
order to do its virtue-signaling about how wonderful
it is fighting them, and it does it with seven times the force any
of the very best detractors have. Think your own
special brand of maniacal agitprop fervor will do
anything about that? In fact you're just part
of it, just doing their bidding while they gleefully
sneer at your insidiously manipulated true-believer sentiments.
That's the beauty of the People's Front of Judea.
They delightfully show us how pathetic those efforts
are. This one and that one and that one and this
one, over and over and over again they've been
happening for centuries before the People's Front
and for centuries after. All so imaginative and
entrancing and engaging. Today's quite elaborate
social control innovations are really just no
different. I hear them now, can you? The brilliantly
contrived excuses, proudly bleated but
exasperatingly sorrowful.
Trying to be stupifyingly simple many have taken to
a twisted version of deconstructionism. "Well I've looked carefully at this Christianity
thing and it's just no good!" Ahh, a complete
bastardization of
a mostly silly philosophical pustule anyway, tweaked a bit it becomes the
latest Jesuit concoction now so woven into the
religious landscape ultimately to transform more young people
into the most sniveling sodomists, furious racialists,
and imperious socialists.
The final product is an inevitable rejection
of what was once a supposedly vibrant faith
in Christ, when all that's happened is
the realization that their peculiar
Jesus was merely an impotent
System-assembled one. Well then, ahem
if that's the case, then really:
Deconstruct away! Go ahead and
comprehensively
expose the magnificently ornate
window-dressing Jesus for what
it is, a genuinely weird
distasteful simulacrum invented to keep
people pounding out interminable
penances, or at some point
jettisoning altogether as worthless
religious folderol.
There're so many more ways the System Ops keep its
charges enslaved and worshipping
their Jesuses even
if it means sticking them in an endless loop of
rejecting one and embracing another in the name of
so very smartly and courageously DECONSTRUCTING.
So many hapless
blitherings to try to rationalize away the
simplicity of the true liberating gospel.
That one comes through The Savior and The Kingdom by way
of the Ministry of Reconciliation.
It is a trillion light years from any of the
sin-condemn-death sin-condemn-death
sin-condemn-death that consumes World
inhabitants.
The Kingdom is only
mercy-salvation-restoration-life-joy-peace-insight-contentment-freedom.
The only way this is manifest across a community is
when worship assemblies become ungrafted to the
System. "Abjure the realm" as it was once
called long ago. Churches that remain obligated to
the World through their contractual incorporations
and registrations with that World are merely
subdivisions of that Roman Catholic dominion. I just
can't see how people who say they're Christians can
ignore the plain proscription
all over Scripture,
viscerally shared there in the letter to the
Galatians: "I do not set aside the grace of God, for
if righteousness could be obtained from the law,
Christ died for nothing!"
What would happen if genuine worship communities of
people who do actually have the name of Christ on
their lips were never grafted, never tied
to Rome even to begin with? The sheep of
His Pasture would then by prayer, fellowship,
worship, and real vibrant communion with Him oh my
how much more would there be miracles and healing
and deliverance and rapture and mountains being
moved...
Jesus said as much.
It is quite simple.
How then does all the institutionalized evil continue
to still metastasize all around us then?
For one, people are so wickedly inured to doing
everything the World Ops have told them to believe
they must do no matter what it is. "Hey, the Roman
Catholic Church is just as Christian as anything."
It is a virtually routine trope to conflate the two,
and its entrenchment one of the clearest successes
of the Jesuit Order in its never-ending objective to
extirpate Protestantism. This simple conception
moves so many to vehemently censure or actively
protest some thing a relevant ruler has do,
but still rationalize the value of most things he or
she does.
The well-schooled Catholicist will also
consider a firm ingratiation with the
System their salvation, especially from
the dread facing all the evils they
don't know it has generated to begin
with. "Don't
bother asking too many questions because they'll
hurt you."
Yes, they might hurt you, and often do, they're sworn to
sounds like the behavior of a racket to me.
Jesus said this too very clearly: He knew it was
supposed to be that way. "Be the Kingdom instead!
Be the Kingdom even the midst of all that!"
He insisted, then urged us to acknowledge the World
will pass away but only after it's done its
legitimate duty now.
Another reason it continues to thrive is because the worst of
it happens at the deepest levels of the System's
machinery, and no, it isn't from the ones you
think are pulling Joe Biden's strings. It is
coming from those who labor quite fastidiously to
install the potentates and instill in them with the
enduring mentality needed to make it all happen.
It is much more intricately arcane, murderously
manipulative, and painfully political.
There is
indeed a deep-state with which we're most familiar
more identifiable bureaucrats, academics,
think-tank thinkers, or even whole countries like
Russia, China, or Iran. Another level down are more
insidiously clever
deep-state actors the Trilateral Commission and the
Committee of 300 and the Rothschild family and
all
the other usual suspects.
Oh so complicated!
No, just
the presentation is complicated.
Again,
the truth is simple.
The deeper
level of deep-state elements has the most
influence of all.
If you really want to look, you may see beyond all
the apparent complexities and find it too is quite
simple. Their main goal is to get people
passionately devoted to System sentiments any way
they can, whether by shaming them into pusillanimous
obedience, stirring the most ferocious
remonstration, or anything in-between. One of the
best is handing the smartest of them the cushiest
jobs somewhere so they'll comfortably
settle into a benighted state of perpetually
oblivious preoccupation.
It is fun to hear a quite pertinent remark from
the recent acclaimed motion picture Oppenheimer,
even though it does only go as far as that
first level deep-state. At one
point in the midst of his explanation of the
machinations required, chairman of the Atomic
Energy Commission Lewis Strauss whispers
"Power stays in the shadows."
Note it isn't just that the power resides
there, it is that it stays there. It is
carried forth from there, though it does originate
from an even deeper state you can check out a bit
of Dante to learn more about that level. With the
advances of video and communication technology, especially the
new gods "The Algorithm" and "The A.I." it is so
much easier for its purveyors to stream the essential
propaganda unfettered into susceptible hearts and
minds.
As you can see in the screenshot of yet
another of John and Nisha Whitehead's tediously
droning expositions of the product's impact, it
will always involve the most ruthless prosecution of those who request it
after all they are paying good
money for it
and it will
always employ the most extreme prejudice accompanied
by boasts of how not-prejudice they all
are.
How far down that rabbit hole do you want to go?
Sadly most just stay around close to the top, where
some light still seeps in.
Not far enough.
Doesn't mean you can't go farther down.
It does mean you'll need His eyes and His light to
guide you.
Doesn't mean you can't understand it all with
His mind, knowing He has allowed it since the
dawn of civilization explicitly to draw people to
Him after they actually see the consequences of
their own part in the horrors there.
As you go down there even deeper than you've ever
gone before, be sure to grip His hand tightly. You
don't want to get lost down there.
Especially since without Him they will
successfully trap you there forever.
One final note. It
is a brief but sobering
metaphor for the death that is the Roman Catholic
Hegemony and the World it governs. And please, it will be simple.
Just outside the Santa Inιs mission is a vineyard,
or at least a batch of grapevines. I say that
because to look at them you can't help but feel
grave sadness.
They're all dead.
There you go, you can see it in my photos. Not only
is it all completely bereft of life, but the plaque displayed
to describe what
should be that life is so faded it
is illegible.
No life.
No words.
No anything.
Just decay, despair, death.
Jesus is The Vine.
The Kingdom is The Vineyard.
There is life there, and only there.
That we get to be branches...
***
For those who find me [wisdom] find life
And receive favor from the Lord.
But those who fail to find me harm
themselves;
All who hate me love death.

Notes:
-
March 13 2024 note:
Since I published this
piece two weeks ago I
changed a bit of the
part about the things
people do to rationalize
away holding a quite simple belief on Christ.
I included definitions
but also should add here
that any of the
philosophical ideas
introduced in this or
any Catholicist
Nation item
requires much more
discussion. In fact that
is a key part of the
actual thing deconstructionism.
While it does
involve the idea no one can
actually grasp any
objective truth from
written ideas - all you
can get is your own
interpretation which can
never really be trusted
since there is no truth
standard, itself a
preposterously
self-defeating
philosophy, it does
allow for the
modestly valuable
precept that spoken
engagement with others
is preferable to gain
genuine understanding of
an idea. This is, of
course, why Jesus as
the Living Word and
communion with Him is so
important. Meanwhile
Christendom today has
been overwrought by
people rejecting a
healthy abiding faith in
Christ claiming they are
"deconstructing" but are
actually only succumbing
to yet another
Jesuit-generated ruse to
keep people rigidly
Catholicist-minded.
-
For those not
acquainted with the
acronym, "BIPOC" stands
for "Black, Indigenous,
People of Color," who
have definitely attained
quite an elevated stature
in today's woke world.
The Google Gemini "A.I."
service rolled out just
recently was widely and
justifiably criticized
for comically generating
images exclusively based
on a racialist
perspective. This is
further proof that there
is indeed no such
thing as AI, at
all, only foolish people
feeding the
super-duper-fast
processing machinery.
-
About my mention of whole
nations as players
engaged in "deep state"
activity, because I
didn't mention other
countries like Israel
doesn't mean they too
aren't yanked around by
the deeper state
operatives. Russia,
China, and Iran always
seem to get the most
press, however.

The part of Reg in
Life of Brian was
played by John Cleese.

The painting of the
Goddess of Reason
finally shaping the
perfect worldwide utopia
we all enjoy today is
La fête de la
Raison dans Notre-Dame
de Paris le 10 novembre
1793 by
Charles-Lewis Müller,
1878. I mention the
sans-culottes but they
were just put out for
show by the much more
powerful exploiters
doing what is now called
"astro-turfing," making
everyone believe it was
some authentic
grass-roots movement of
the righteous masses but
really just those System
mandarins doing their
thing from the bowels of
that deepest state.
-
The screenshot of
the masthead for the
John and Nisha Whitehead
piece is from
Off-Guardian. Note
that anything
"Globalist" as cited in
the headline does by
definition mean
"Universal" and as such
"Catholic." Also shown
is an image of the
Capitol Building, an
edifice which has never
been considered anything
but the authoritative
governing Temple of
Jupiter. This serves as
one of the many
iconographic signatures
definitively
establishing the
authority of Cain's
Legacy.

For a bit more on who's
actually running things,
here's a page with
some.
Here's another page
with some thoughts about
a worship assembly
becoming ungrafted, or
perhaps even a group of
followers of Christ
becoming never
grafted, and why.
-
Here's a rough sketch
of the way the Hegemony
carries out human
sacrifice as a matter of
established practice.
Some thoughts about the
Ecclesia's role in that
are
here.
-
I know it is hard to
convince a reader that
this is about simple
truths when brand new
words are introduced,
like ecclesiocracy.
What exactly is
that? Actually the
term is employed for the
purpose of making it
simple to understand:
that the Roman Catholic
Church (the
ecclesia) does
indeed regularly and
authoritatively generate
the evils all around in
response to the masses
requiring those evils by
virtue of their own
habitual sinfulness, and
it does this simply
through its routine
governance (the
-ocracy) at the
behest of its rather
opaque militant order
(the Society of Jesus). A home page
piece with a bit about
the Ecclesiocracy is
here.
-
I'd like to think I did
okay here, but making
the distinction between
the World and the
Kingdom simple can be a
challenge. You may
look around at my
webzine for further
attempts, but the only
way you may fully grasp the
beautiful simplicity is
if you read
Scripture, every
single day. Read the
gospel of John,
prayerfully, then talk
about it with those
you'll soon recognize
are not
sold-out deputized
agents of Rome. When
finished, start over
again.
-
Reconciliation with God
is nicely described in
the letter to the
Ephesians,
second chapter,
starting in the 14th
verse especially: "For
He Himself is our
peace..."
-
Here
are a few thoughts about The
Vine. Check out the 15th
chapter of John's gospel
to get the full beauty
and richness of the
person and character of
Jesus.
