The fires of Hell are lapping up everywhere, higher and higher. The heat can get a bit
uncomfortable at times, what is with that? It'd be nice to seriously
consider how to slide away from them, but sadly I believe too many
just like warming themselves at its hearth.
A couple of huge blasts emerged from the Infernal
Cottage this past Thursday. A gentleman pretending
to be a woman and insisting everyone else celebrate
his folly sat in a US Senate hearing room fielding
questions about his qualifications to be a top
public health official. When a senator asked about
the breadth of his unique policy considerations, the gentleman simply offered
to hold a consultation about those things in his
office sometime.
He could not share openly for the record the extent
of his relationship with Hell, things anyone with
any conscience already know extraordinarily well.
The second major blast came from the House of
Representatives, which passed a bill that if enacted
into law would require everyone to assent to the
previous gentleman's folly or face stiff federal
penalties. The intentions of the inordinate number
of "Equality" Act supporters are to completely
obliterate the distinction between male and female
by government dictate, and if the absurdity of that
idea doesn't resound loudly enough then yes, this
country as a whole is in dire peril.
Understandable. Many believe quite insightfully that
God's judgment on the US has already been
established. It is definitely further fulfillment of
the prophecy in the third chapter of the second
letter to Timothy. "In the last days people will be
lovers of themselves..."
This conception has already exploded in the
still-raging Covid hysteria. Authorities continue to
pound their chests and boast about how much they
are doing to protect the simpering masses, that
everyone must acknowledge how magnificent they
are in destroying the livelihoods of so many in the
name of heroically stopping dead in its tracks a bug
that is for the most part laughing at them.
This is what Cain does, however, so no worries. The
extended reaction from a dread-injected populace
much of which now sporting two or three facial
diapers is what devout Catholicists also do they
like it when Cain commits acts of human sacrifice
against others to ensure they have another few years
of a mostly besotted existence to plod through.
I once thought this Covid thing was really bad.
But it was only the undercard for the main event...
The Equality Thing.
It is running ramrod through everything anyone once
held dear. Many see it forming as "The Great Reset,"
and they aren't wrong, its progression accelerating
quite well. I enjoy seeing observant posts that call
it things like "The Plutocratic Oligarchy," not bad
or one of my favorites, "The Techno-Feudalism,"
that's a fine one as well. Whichever one is the
trendiest ugliest epithet for the current hegemony, World Devotees have always been under the
hypnotic powers of what is best called the Ecclesiocracy.
Starting with Babylon and carrying its authoritative strength through any number
of political entities including most recently the "clay mixture" of
Britain and the United States, Rome has faithfully administered the World
System for the past 2,000 years still does today. The Vatican
may be the most visible seat of government in this divinely ordained
arrangement, but it is really the Church of the Gesu from which everyone
is issued their lifestyle
instructions.
Please note that the Latin ecclesia does not exactly mean
"church" but is better rendered "discursive community." Thus the
contrast between the World and Kingdom may be summarized in this
way.
Kingdom dwellers live by the words of the Theocracy, which
the World interprets as government by state-approved religious leaders. To the genuine
follower of Christ the term simply means living under God's
bountifully manifest love and enthusiastically expressed purposes. He
is obedient to God and His ways because He worships God and honors his
neighbor from the depths of his heart.
The World devotee is under the power of the Ecclesiocracy,
which is merely the ultimate rule though the deepest channels of sin
management authority showing itself through any number of
storefronts: ingratiated non-profit church, ministry, and community
organizations, chartered financial institutions and commercial enterprises,
the robust university networks, the ferociously strident
journalistic behemoths, and
of course formally registered government offices at every strata.
It is all still the Ecclesiocracy, and as the World's discursive
power it utilizes all sorts of Narrative Mythologies about the way things are
supposed to be considered. Modern forms of media and communication
technology make the propaganda spectacular and compelling. Remember,
the World devotee lives by the principle of pathodicy, or
in other words "justification by Psyche." Everything truth
and rightness comes from one's feelings.
The Kingdom, on the other hand, is about the theodicy, or
"justification by God." Anything that happens in life is because God
is working great wonders in the lives of people. Even in suffering
and death, if
one is giving his or her life in His service because of love of
Father, friend, and even enemy, he or she will experience
resurrection into eternal life not because of anything done but
because Christ already justified one by His saving work on the
cross.
In
thinking about how to respond to the rampaging
sodomist dominion, I ponder what to say when someone
says, "I should be free to decide my own ___ (fill
in the blank with whatever insane identity
pronouncement the profoundly insecure must clench to
try to get people to tell them how courageous they
are)." The answer came to me when on my long walk.
On this particular excursion I came across a small
pond and in and around it were mallard ducks, about
twenty of them. As I gazed upon their beauty for a
moment, I thought, hmm, the distinction between the
male (the one with the bright green head) and the
female (with the speckled brown pattern) is pretty
obvious. It should also be quite obvious as to which
human is which also.
But again, what of the microphone-drop response the
progressive persuasion always has to that position,
"People should be free to decide for themselves
so back off!"
It is simple. It is one of the simplest logical
truths around, and when employed it cannot be
rejected except by a simpleton or lunatic yet
sadly we know so well how many of them have been
shoving their way into positions of major public
decision-making.
Here is it. When they question the male/female
distinction is true by saying "Nothing is
really true unless the individual says it is (and
any given individual should be able to choose their
gender)," merely ask,
Is that true?
The point is people who "choose their gender" are
appealing to subjectivism, that they may determine
truth. If that is the case, then they themselves
are making a truth claim. Put more simply, they
are saying "It is true you must believe my truth
that there is no truth binding on all." Obviously
this is nonsense, they are logically violating their
own claim. The truth (ouch) is no one lives
by the precepts of subjectivism. It is impossible,
even though the excuse is bleated any time someone
wants to squirm out of their logical predicament.
Another way you'll hear it is the stupendously
ubiquitous, "Don't judge me!" Wow, yeah, that's
harsh. But the fact is we all judge. We
can't help it. For someone to say in the name of
some goddess named Tolerancia that I must
concur with what they say about a thing
many times that they are some gender identity of
some sort is to make a judgment. Against
me! A pretty severe one too! Now the government is
involved in some pretty fierce judgments about,
about...
What things actually?
This is significant because anyone saying
anything is making a truth claim. The
real question is whether or not that claim is
actually really truly objectively transcendently
teleologically
True.
To simply concede the point is wisdom. To
interminably continue the discussion as if it is
still in question is folly. Yet this is the way
of the World, and more specifically of the Hegelian
discursive propaganda that animates the
Ecclesiocracy's designs. It doesn't mean we can't
have the conversation, the follower of Christ is
willing to give his life to share the Living Word.
In contrast Rome must have its way with people who
refuse to see Christ for Who He Truthfully Is, and
how ironic that its conception of truth is as
draconian and oppressive as it is.
We
now cannot help but confront this sodomist law the
Ecclesiocracy has passed and whether it is
ultimately enacted, the idea is still quite
metastasized in the mainstream. We must believe
that a man is a woman and a woman is a man. And
war is peace and freedom is slavery and ignorance is
strength.
Those enjoying a richly enraged life under the
Ecclesiocracy will be enslaved endlessly to the
discursive edicts they've been hypnotized to follow.
This is a right and proper thing, Cain's legacy can
do nothing else.
Real freedom comes by Christ and humbly acceding to
truth well, Truth, as well as Grace.
It is about knowing one is in His embrace and thus
never having to worry about the things man, his
princes, his chariots, or anything else under Heaven
can do to him.
People do see, very clearly, the wounded duplicity
of a hifalutin man trying to be a woman and then
rallying his cohorts in academia and media to enlist
Caesar to coerce us into affirming that. But what to
do?
The concluding paragraph of a recent book review of
a tome titled Escape from
Rome is worth citing here:
Americans are always fretting: Are we Rome?
[The author's] response would be: Who cares?... The
famous quote by Gibbon about the period of the "good
emperors," Nerva to Lucius Verus, being the happiest
in human history. Nonsense. Marcus Aurelius may have been a philosopher, ...but he was also
capable of extraordinary violence in the name of the
state. Statists gonna stateand Rome was the biggest
and most statist of them all. The main thing is to
move past empire and get back to human freedom.
Don't emulate Rome. Escape from it.
Thuh end. That's his final word.
Really? Escape how? How exactly?
In fact the Ecclesiocracy's "escape" is merely a
trap door that goes right into another part of the
World System, like one of those nightmarishly dark
multi-dimensional labyrinths in the worst fantasy
horror movies. One place may look like Candy Cake &
Colorful Sprinkles Land but it is really just rotten
through and through. The next room at the end of
another foreboding passage looks spectacular and
novel, but it too is grotesquely decrepit when the
embroidered tapestry is pulled up.
Oh but how much I can be still be shrill in the
loud pathodic discourse! It is so invigorating!
No, the only escape is to stay, accept Rome
for what it is, yet do one simple thing.
Put hearts on your knees.
Whut?
You see, when I was out on another long walk, I happened upon a girl, about seven
years old, who tumbled out of the back seat of her vehicle parked
there on the curb in front of her house. I noticed she had
hearts on her knees. Little hearts there, just the size of her
kneecaps, sown on to her jeans.
She had hearts on her knees.
Just a very small observation, but one that made me think deeply,
that I could richly ponder of the love I may share with my Lord as I
enter His courts and kneel before Him simply out of Who He Is
His character and His sacrificial love for each one of us. He died
for me and my sinfulness, as well as for the man who thinks he
is a woman and anyone who thinks that's just fine. How
awesome is that. At that point we may fully be far away from the
hellfires the World System stokes and enter into His joy forever.
As for now, I just want anyone and everyone I encounter to have that
too.
We must reside for a bit somewhere in the Ecclesiocracy
labyrinth.
The eternal Kingdom may still be our home.

Notes:
-
Among the things the Equality
Act does are penalize organizations
for refusing to admit or hire people
who prominently exhibit their sexual
identity confusion in some manner -
this is the essence of sodomism
and why that term is used here. It
also penalizes medical practitioners
for refusing to provide abortion
services claiming it is a
discriminatory act against women.
Wonder how that'll work for all the
female babies aborted.
-
The image of the tweet is a
retraction of one put out by the
World Economic Forum trying to
convince the faithful that lockdowns
were good things. Notice they still
use deft casuistry to rationalize
their claim. The WEF is simply a
collaboration of
System-administering powers
comprised of all the major players
from the entities listed there in
the piece.

The book review was by Jason Morgan at the Mises
website of the book by Walter
Scheidel. It was titled "The Greatest Thing the
Roman Empire Did Was Go Away," which
caught my attention because of
course, it hasn't.
-
I had been planning to add some
thoughts about the characters in the
biblical story of Jesus' sentencing,
but that will have to wait for
another time. I think I'd like to
flesh that out a bit more, we'll
see. I mention this because the
people in that story are merely the
same people mentioned in this home
page piece, or in any activity where
people formally interact, really. Look at those
gospel accounts, you'll see it
there.
-
I have to add
this news story, about a
Catholic priest disgusted with the
things newly minted US President Joe
Biden has been doing. Take special
note of his observation, "Georgetown
Jesuits celebrate with elation his
Mass attendance as President."
-
Here is a terrific and very short
piece that brilliantly
elucidates the idea that someone who
says there is no truth is actually
saying there is truth.
-
Here is a page
with a list of all the Jesuses
people have been convinced there are
to follow. Nice selection! The way
good wholesome churches enter into
contractual obligations with Cain's
legacy to effectively enable these
horrific evils is
here.
-
Here is a home page piece I
wrote recently on the concept of
pathodicy. I'd love to see more
elaboration on it by solid thinkers,
please engage if you find it
worthwhile.

Orwell's propaganda slogan from his

Here
are a few thoughts about The One
