As you may have grasped from previous elements of this work, I enjoy periodically stopping by the public libraries in my area and browsing the new stacks. It has become so much less gratifying because the thought and exposition in most volumes is getting so much more vain and vapid. Quite disappointing. But what can one expect with legions of entrenched World inhabitants spewing drivel with so little grasp of the verities in God's word.

I would like to share with you one recent occasion when I saw these five books, pictured on the right, placed just like this, as the only ones on this particular shelf.

The first is Prepared, and all I saw was the title and the subtitle on the cover. From what I gather it is yet another tome describing the ways one should bring up their children, to prepare them for the adult world. I know nothing about its substance — it may be Scriptural or secular, it may be pious or prosaic. It may have many splendidly helpful suggestions in it, it may indeed. Volumes of these kinds of things have been around for eons, however — my mother read Dr. Spock, millions of moms did.

The second is American Epidemic, and sure enough it is about the opioid medication addiction ravaging the country. There is certainly a crushing amount of pain out there, and it isn't just physical. I've mentioned often before, Benjamin Franklin once said, "Nine men in ten are suicides." There is so much in that observation dismissed so perilously by so many.

The other three, however, overwhelm the field of vision here. They are typical paeans to sodomist behavior, and the world is now overrun by the idea that you must celebrate someone's commitment to sexual impropriety or immorality or you are the worst pariah on the planet. You cannot avoid it, it is now so entrenched in the American psyche that you may even be lawfully prosecuted for your justifiably righteous censure of such massive dissipation.

After a bit of a presently non-threatening skin cancer scare and a new encounter with the reality of my mortality, I've thought more about this place we call home — this planet, the lives of those around me, my nation and its future — especially with regards to the livelihoods of my children and grandchildren. My true home is heaven, but I still care about those who clutch these places with some manic fervor. In looking at life through what is called the ROE Filter, I've realized that the programs of socialism, racialism, and sodomism are quite legitimate ways God has authorized potentates to govern the reprobate populace who refuse to dwell richly in the Kingdom by Christ.

The World System was set into motion to constrain people who'd incessantly live in rejection of Him, for the purpose of allowing people the opportunity to see the evil for what it is and in turn discover Him and embrace Him and revel in the Kingdom He gives us to overflow.

I've spent much webzine and blog space elucidating the horrors of socialism, racialism, and sodomism. My latest consideration of socialism is that it merely allows Cain's minions to bellow, "Look at how good I am, look! I will use my power to rescue you, even if it means committing human sacrifice against others to do it." It really isn't much more complicated. As much as one feverishly clenching the capitalist creed rails against it, socialism works. It is brilliantly utilized as a tool in the ministry of condemnation, something God says is perfectly fine for such purposes — look there in the third chapter of the second letter to the Corinthians.

Racialism is a way for government to prosecute unrepentant sinners by making the hatred they have for one another all about race — it is so much easier to adjudicate that way. You may not actively hate, but all sin is separation from God and His Kingdom, so it makes no difference. All whites are guilty, all persons of color are victims — nice and tidy culture war conflagration to concuss with all due prejudice.

Sodomism is the key thing, in my view, that leaves the largest swath of destruction, at so many different levels. This is another form of "Look at how good and wholesome and righteous I am by cheerfully giving you permission to express yourself in ways that are so radically unconventional that not only will you overcome that aggravating self-awareness of your insecurities but you'll be deliriously applauded for the courage you've had to affirm it so brazenly."

At its core anything related to LGBTQ+ involvement or approval is the ruthless disengagement with that which truly gives one relational meaning — family. Even God wants to adopt you and be your Father making you as His son or daughter an heir to all that is truly meaningful. Note how the people running the most stridently expansive sodomist organizations labor valiantly to try to make themselves the replacement for those most vital and vibrant relationships we may have. They even employ the various strands of government to engender and disperse their disinformation about the nature of sexuality and identity.

Cain so wants to be his brother's keeper.

Want out? You're spinning your wheels if you are bent on upending what some desperately crave — furiously conducting assassination plots and disruptive crusades to sabotage his devices. Such violent remonstrations only bring the worst trial and turmoil. He loves it. In thousands of different ways he gushes, "Bring it on!"

Really, I so want to get much more into all of this idea, but it is too much to tackle in one home page piece. I've done a bit of it a number of times previously. Here I just want to introduce a page with a profound elucidation about much of how all this coalesces into the way things really are. It is something Tupper Saussy wrote just after the 9/11 tragedy in 2001, what I consider not only the seminal part of his "Abiding in Religious War" but really his entire work. It features what I call the ROE Filter Engine, the key to understanding how Rome justifies its use of those tools to regulate the affairs of those interminably "in need of salvation."

ROE stands for Rulers of Evil, a book by Tupper Saussy about the way temporal governance really works. I encourage you to read it. It is online, and I have a page with a bit more of Saussy's works.

I invite you to look around, peruse this webzine for a bit more. This has only one purpose and one purpose only:

That you may find that bountiful, beautiful salvation in Him.

Before you take a look-see at The Engine, I'd like to share an anecdotal story that adds a bit of booster fuel to the machinery. We like to pass through Palm Springs in our travels and one time while strolling through the art faire we crossed the street to browse in this shop, the one pictured. Inside were all the trappings of the most robust sexual immorality you could imagine, very upscale though, very tasteful mind you. A sample of its offerings is in the other image on the right, it is quite comprehensive.

What was so striking was among all the books for expert instruction in making your concupiscence that much more sublime was a shelf of books about the Roman Catholic Church. They were the more hip ones, you know, more about the fashionably spiritual aspects of the craft. But you'll note, as you can see for yourself in the photograph, that they were distinctly about Rome.

Why? I didn't have the wherewithal at the time to ask the proprietor, maybe I will step in again to do so next time we pass through. It could certainly be that the Palm Springs clientele and those like-minded are very committed to the best ways to have absolution when they misbehave, I got that — I mean after all, Pope Francis is the best Jesuit confessor there is. But could it also be that they're firmly acknowledging the impetuous truth that so desperately in need of salvation, they sincerely recognize where they must go for the most proficient management of their evildoing?

Moms and Dads are the earthly ministers of Christ's love to their children. It isn't even that for those without earthly parents there aren't people who love with Christ's love to be the caretakers, caregivers, care-overwhelmers — there very much are those people. But if these rich soul-lovers don't step up and do it, Cain will always replace them with his people, and it is always brutal. As socialism racialism sodomism are further employed in this task, as legitimate as this is, the world will get darker, more sinister, more destructive of body and soul — even in the depths of all the "Things aren't so bad right now!" bleating. Scripture emphatically warns when everyone is saying "Peace and safety" — watch. Just watch.

Ironic, isn't it, that opioids are dished out as the antidote to pain and they cause so much more of it. The deliverance from whatever is causing the pain is Jesus Christ, and until people start identifying the forces that keep them going, "Nah, it isn't Him — gimme another pill," they will never find the contentment they seek, much less the joy that can only be found in Him. I can't help but add how extraordinarily sorrowful it is that a number of the books on that Palm Springs shop's lower shelf were about death — also quite telling, I think.

I just saw an article in the Los Angeles Times, right as I was finishing up this home page, about suicide hotlines now losing their callers in droves because the helpline organizations are now required to play that ubiquitous "This call may be monitored for quality assurance purposes." Makes sense. Why would you spill your heart when everything you say will be analyzed by Big Brother? Even still, why should callers trust counselors who aren't being held accountable for the things they may share?

Why in the world are these people expected to replace a mother and a father who, grounded in Scripture, may bring up their children with the most rigorous and righteous understanding of the way things truly are even in and around the most gruesomely wrenching fear?

I want to close with a transcription of a scene from the rather well-known dystopian feature film Soylent Green.

After one of the protagonists, Sol Roth, joins with a number of other "Books" (scholarly elderly people) to discover the secret that the Soylent Corporation uses new human corpses to produce food products, he says this.

"Good God."

One of the Books responds, "What 'God,' Mr. Roth? Where will we find Him?"

Roth replies, "Perhaps at home. Yes, at home."

To Roth this meant going to a euthanizing facility and expediting his desired entry to heaven.

As I watched this scene I thought of home in the more immediate sense: a place where a true, real, caring and giving and sacrificing family reside, a father and mother sharing the love of Christ with their children. With Cain taking over that role, no wonder we're starting to see the result of that condition, spoken of in Scripture: "A man's enemies will be the members of his own household." This from the tenth chapter of Matthew, something Jesus said — and I know of fewer things that are more harrowing.

Yes, Jesus also said we should love God even more than a mother or a father, but He never said don't love them! He emphasized that we should love each other with the same passion, but if it is authentic agape it means self-sacrifice — that is truest love. Other-sacrifice is the way of the World, and if you use this test you can tell the Living Word from the institutional winepress...

The Kingdom from the World.

Wow.

Look at what has happened over the past several months.

First there was the raging coronavirus hysteria designed implicitly to further tighten Caesar's grip by enforcing the most excessive lockdown protocols so public officials can appear to be doing something. Then there was yet another incident plastered across the imperious media domain when a white police officer used a savage measure of force against a black man inflaming public sentiment that had already been infused into its collective psyche by, by... what exactly?

This web endeavor has been going for 16 years strong, and every few months I've put up something here on the home page for robust rumination. I say this because there has been something new I've been learning about, and I'd like to share a bit of it with you now. I think it has a lot to say about why exactly the coronavirus and racialist conflagration is happening.

What I've learned isn't a new thing, it has been around for about a hundred years or so, but I've discovered it is instrumental in forming the rigidly entrenched thinking of so many people. It is captivating more and more as you read these words.

You see its effects in the violent rioting going on right now, the result of that thinking finding its fully expected fruit not only in the rage displayed in big cities around the country, but in the rabid social media cheerleading that accompanies it. We see much of the physical violence but forget that there is even more emotional and spiritual violence exploding across the globe.

I've spent these many years working at seeing the basic substance of that benighted condition, and recently blogged about the truth that often God must allow people to see the harrowing effects of their willful folly, because only then may they truly understand what they're doing and authentically turn to Him for forgiveness, redemption, deliverance, restoration, salvation, and entrance into the Kingdom where true joy and freedom prevail.

So in that sense, this thing isn't really new at all. It is new to me, it has been around for millennia merely as one of the many manifestations of Cain's legacy of ruthless law enforcement established to constrain those who refuse to call on the name of the Lord.

I am a college educated gentleman, indeed, and growing up in that milieu I'm surprised I never really caught on to what was pushing against my soul. Oh I do know about the pressure from this thing, but that I wasn't aware of its origin is not surprising because I'm sure the thousands of rioters, the millions of lockdown girders, and the hundreds of millions of zealous supporters of these crusades don't have the faintest idea where the rationale for their actions was birthed.

Once again, there is a much deeper source of the precepts that came from this place, but one of the most powerful forces in today's political environment is indeed something called the Frankfurt School.

I'm not going to be able to cover everything about it, so forgive me, but one of the first things to note is how they use vague euphemisms and technical jargon to hide what they are truly about. The first is that it is never first referred to the "Frankfurt School," it is always this thing Critical Theory. Just that epithet alone gives them cover because it sounds so objective, so advanced, so scholarly. Who is against good, righteous critiquing of things to make life better?

At its core, however, is the following basic idea. And something real quick, this basic idea is really it. Critical Theory proponents will screech there is so much more, but it is ponderously excessive and often ridiculously illogical scholarese to make it seem like they've done all this erudite activity to justify their claims. There may be merit to some of it, but it is largely vapid hifalutin hokum to dwell richly in the skulls of potentates of every stripe.

That basic idea:

Throughout history white people have taken over the world through commandeering both culture and the communication technology through which to spread their conception of culture, and its sole purpose is to rigidly sustain the unjust oppression of targeted minority groups and those seeking their own particular sexual expression.

Really, that's it.

Now if I've missed something I'm great to know about it. They do include calls for rebellion, revolution, indeed a wholesale razing of the system and remaking it in their image. Look at how loud the hollering is for defunding and disbanding all police forces everywhere — nope, no anarchist insanity in that public policy recommendation. Certainly these peerless detractors do indeed adopt the Frankfurt School precepts as the rallying cry for their frenetic behaviors, no question.

Lots of fun terminology is used to give Critical Theory cachet: There is always a lot of sanctimonious Marxist sentiment, but that's augmented by turgid references to colonialism, imperialism, alienation, deconstructionism, patriarchy, hegemony... newer ones crop up all the time. That last one cited there is actually a perfectly reasonable one — I've even used it quite frequently because there is one thing the Frankfurt people got right:

There is a hegemony.

It was set in motion by God Himself millennia ago for the expressed purpose of regulating the conduct of habitually sinful unrepentant humans. For it to succeed in its task it needed seven times the strength of any usurper, and to administer it all the first ordained superintendent of the System went off to build a city, an apparatus to make it easier for him to prosecute those he's prodded and provoked and enraged so he could show everyone how bad-ass he was. The only way he could do that is to keep people in a state of evildoing and continue to commit acts of human sacrifice claiming that he finally can be his brother's keeper.

Don't think this isn't the way things are?

Have you been paying attention to what's happening in the cities right now? The cities? Stuff that actually happens all the time, but sometimes with a bit more convulsive emphasis, like right now? There is nothing inherently wrong with cities, some are beautiful. But that is some of the point, they must draw people to their main purpose: more proficient management of their sin within the boundaries of a place signified by the word "see," as in "Holy See," specifically referring to the authority of Roman Catholic ecclesiastical jurisdiction.

I like how some who see its surface manifestations will say "There's a hidden agenda somewhere!" No, there really isn't. It is really all there for anyone to understand, there in the instruction book. It is not hard to get.

The reality of System operations was described in great detail in the fourth chapter of Genesis, in the most reliable history book of them all, the Bible. By the way, that's another thing to note about Critical Theory, its interpretations of history must be fully considered and rigidly adopted no matter how questionable, spurious, or flat-out erroneous. Let's see what we can achieve with broad inaccurate claims about historical events to fit our agenda, you know, because Bible believers have generally been part of the hegemony crushing dissenting opinions of what history means.

One of the best examples of this at work is in The New York Times recent Pulitzer-winning piece called, "1619." Essentially it was a completely fantastical version of U.S. history supporting the now fully entrenched idea of systemic racism, and I can't believe it wasn't a catalyst for the present state of urban violence. The writer even confessed, "My ultimate goal is that there'll be a reparations bill passed... I write to try to get liberal white people to do what they believe in. I'm making a moral argument. My method is guilt."

Guilt is a tremendously powerful weapon, one of the best in Caesar's arsenal especially when it is a critical part of the Institutional Deceit. The crusade is so enticing — something to live for, a cause to fight for, a penance to achieve, a coterie of people gushing over me, a way to seize recompense and if that means looting the rich fascist corporate powers, then so be it.

To see them burn after all the things the Frankfurt School has told me they've done to me, well so be it!

Of course being nowhere near God's presence, including His wisdom and understanding and truth, they can't fully grasp how fully they themselves are employed by Cain's legacy. Yes, the truth is as much as they rail and rage and roil against the oppressive power structure...

They are just as much part of it as their oppressors.

They've been set up, all of them, from the indigent people of color to the rich liberals living in Claraboya. But this is the way it works. Because Rome is indeed the hegemony, and the revolutionaries the necessary foils for Rome to do its job of seven-fold retribution, it is indeed all one huge, monolithic, oppression organism.

The Frankfurt School and its "new" hegemony is just as fascist as the fascists they encourage you to revile. The oppressed are just as oppressive as the tyrants they despise. When the schools pour even more taxpayer dollars into their "equality sensitivity centers" for maximum guilt prosecution, will they welcome white people suffering from the discriminatory oppression of being told they're intractable racists? No? Ahh, I see, it only goes one way — that sounds like justice to me.

Look at a phenomenally sinister thing they're doing now: seducing your very own friends to insist if you are silent about the racism you are the worst kind of racist unless you're not silent about it. It is as fine a witch hunt as there could be — the clear intimation is you must make some official proclamation in favor of the benighted things they think or you're a criminal. One observant commentator called it "moral blackmail," but it only works if the enterprise has a critical mass of supporters, all spawned by World ops sworn to make this seep and fester everywhere.

Think about it, if Caesar wanted to he could end this carnage right now with the standard-issue force required to uphold the law and actually protect citizens' lives and livelihoods. But he doesn't, simply because the Frankfurt School infection is more profitable. Think about this too, how many in their hearts know this exploding climate of class, sex, and race-baiting victimology is so lethal but say nothing — or feel they must endlessly spew obsequious apologies for being white or male or just plain ignorant — simply because the governing mandarins are so ruthlessly intimidating?

That doesn't come from mild-mannered professors in some far-off German college, much less from people just hopping up one morning to take their "Silence = Violence" signs to the demonstration. The Frankfurt School is now — and has been for some time — the Jesuit-administered university system informing everything U.S. political, commercial, financial, excursive, and religious authorities decide to do, all of it heavily absorbed into the Americanist bloodstream.

Feel good about being part of The Resistance? One pundit recently mentioned he'd heard from someone in a highly regarded news organization who told him his boss admitted his job wasn't to share truth but to take down Donald Trump. Does that make you feel really good inside? Is your hatred of Trump so fully calcified it is impossible to live happily without the delightful seething against anyone who doesn't quite see things the proper way, the twisted joy believing this colossal disruption will convince enough voters to reject Trump, the ribald gratification of seeing "social justice" finally achieved when the impenitent white man finally gets his come-uppance?

It is most likely you are simply doing what the Frankfurt School has told you to do, which is what Rome has told you to do, which is what — huh, who has told you to do? Who is that?

Do you know?

So much to address here in a small home page piece, I will simply have to get to more of it in blog posts or subsequent home page pieces. I'm also worn out. I've been wrestling with difficult professional issues at this season of my life, but God is so good. In light of having to behold a so widely Catholicized nation of people doing insanely foolish things that even go beyond the current coronavirus and racialist hysteria, it can be daunting.

I look at Jeremiah, as I've shared before my favorite Bible character, simply because he is so courageous and yet he feels it just the same. I find great inspiration in his example, but I can't close without making mention of The One he worshipped: The Word, The Bread of Life, The Lodge — that One Individual with whom you may easily and readily consider approaching and embracing to leave the body of death that is the vast Frankfurt School network.

I recently came across a song that I'd heard a few times before, and this time I actually listened to the lyrics. It popped up on my radio, and I was intrigued. One reason was because it was a song that appealed to that alternative milieu cherished by so many Millennials, Gen-Z'ers, all the young people so hypnotized by Frankfurt School curricula, and, by the way, who are getting more and more important work in critical areas of the System because they can be paid so cheaply.

The song was "Time to Pretend" by MGMT, from 2005 — a lifetime to its youthful listeners. And those lyrics, they were so haunting...

This is our decision to live fast and die young...

I'll miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world...

We'll choke on our vomit and that will be the end...

We were fated to pretend...

Other verses just as much illuminate the perspective of these people — I remember what it was like when a young adult. The feelings about life and relationships and meaning and destiny were so intensely visceral. Youth is the most fertile pasture for Frankfurt School stuff, and a firmly Catholicized nation with little connection to God's words, ways, and mercy provides the rich soil for it to grow.

Even more striking about "Time to Pretend" was the official video. Thought I'd watch it after thinking about the song, and it is filled with wild images of primitive ennui, rituals involving burning items, and most notably human sacrifice featuring not only bloodied bodies but people appearing to take mass just as they do in Catholic Church services.

As much as they so definitively showcase the very real horrors of this life, these people all still heed the fiercely disseminated instruction of their lords:

"Stay inside or your possible infection will kill someone else!"

"Go outside and frantically howl against racism!"

"Human sacrifice of another is perfectly fine to further the cause."

"Adopt this revolutionary new idea (since last month's is so old) so you can pretend life has meaning."

So many more.

They listen and obey with such enthusiasm.

But again, I have nothing to say.

That is the hegemony God set in motion long ago and is always in the hands of Cain's minions.

It serves its purpose for World devotees who ask it to do so.

But then...

There is The Living Word.
