Contra the “News”

Dude, they don’t want you to know what’s really going on. All their “news” – all of it – is made up stuff, or picked out and heavily edited, aimed at disturbing you, so that you keep tuning in to find out what’s going on, so that they can keep disturbing you, so that you then support some narrative or other. Not, NB, necessarily the risibly fake Establishment Narrative of our Overlords. Just, rather, some narrative or other, by which you might be controlled, or at least influenced.

All narratives feed the core Narrative. All of them. Including those that point out its absurdity and evil.

All the narratives are bullshit.

Check out of all of it. Focus on what the 4 year old said this afternoon – or on how to get such an one as wholly your own, and impeccably honest. That’s real. All this other stuff is almost entirely noise. Let the noise sort itself out. Almost all of it will disperse with the passage of time. You have no control over any of it. You need not – so, nor should you – concern yourself with it.

There is only one narrative that matters really, and ontologically, so permanently, and for real: the narrative of your relation with the Most High, and so – as entailed therein – of your decisions about this or that worldly thing in respect thereto, which lies within your ambit of influence. Such as the aforementioned 4 year old, and his mother.

Just do the right thing, in respect to those near you. Everything else is noise.

So is it a distraction of the Enemy, from your right thing, right now.

God help me, I preach to myself first and foremost. God help you, too.

 

Moloch Wants His Meals

Attentive and faithful readers will recall my post of shortly after the rejection of Roe versus Wade, in which I proposed that despite the righteous rule of the Supreme Court, Moloch would try to find some other way to sate his insatiable appetite for human lives. He shall ever want his human food – of attention, lives, bodies, worship – so as to maintain himself for a time until the end, which is foredoomed by his own evil and thus his inaptitude for being, if not by the judgements of the Most High (which – the conditions of being per se being wholly aspects of the Most High, eternally and so necessarily, amount to the same thing: to controvert the conditions of successful being just is to controvert the Logos of being as such).

Sure enough, the Dutch seem set to come through for their omniphagous Master, ensuring a constant supply of victims to his holocaust. The Canadians likewise are doing their part in his behalf, with their burgeoning program of killing people who suffer more than the bureaucracy of death considers quite proper.

Let’s be clear here: the Dutch proposal is that parents should be able to kill their children up to age 12.

Age 12.

Hi You Pathetic Dickless FBI Weenies

Now that we know that the FBI has been targeting traditionalist Catholics such as we *in our own churches* – and, no doubt, the devout in the temples also of our Evangelical and Orthodox brethren – we can be *absolutely sure* that they have been tracking all of us here.

We all of us here are known to the FBI. They have all our contact info, and all our email traffic. Those utter fools consider us enemies.

So pathetically sad. You infamous impotent weenies of the FBI. How can you live with yourselves?

Probably you compensate for your profound weakness with sadism of some sort. How forsooth could you bear up from one day to the next, otherwise?

So absurd; so sad, your lives, so wicked and so sordid.

May God bless and keep you, and may he make his coruscant light to shine upon you. It can’t give you peace, unless you repent.

Repent, I beg you. Don’t go to Hell.

What Will Happen When There Is Only One Bank?

The campaign of intentional destruction of the West now in the first stages of its culmination in the banking system is quite straightforward:

Blackface Bad, Dragface Good

The  President of [West] Texas A&M has just manfully stepped up to declare in public that drag shows “degrade women and are ‘derisive, divisive and demoralizing misogyny.’” This has prompted the predictable storm of manufactured gayfake outrage from the Commies, which he must have known would be sure to follow his remarks.

Now, while his courageous act is extraordinarily unusual these days in any figure of prominence, the most remarkable aspect of this turn of events is I think that *it had never before occurred to anyone that, in effect, drag shows treat women the way that the old blackface vaudeville productions treated blacks: with contempt.* This had not even occurred to me, and I wager that I am fairly unusual in my extreme sensitivity to and morose cynical enjoyment of the manifest and absurd contradictions espoused by the Left (whatever the character of its current skin suit).

For white men to make themselves up as black in public performances is bad, horrible, a sin that cannot be forgiven. But for men to make themselves up as women in public performances is totally cool.

So funny.

The Vipers Are Now in Charge

But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

Matthew 3:7

O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? For, out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

Matthew 12:34

The Pharisees whom both John and his cousin Jesus called a brood of vipers were in first century Palestine the counterparts of what today we would call the Woke Enforcers of Political Correctness. Not of Justice, properly so called. Just of Political Correctness.

Goodness, Truth & Beauty are Classist, Racist & Sexist

Woke seppuku reached something of an apotheosis – I shall not say, a maximum – in the recent announcement by a Loyola professor of marketing (marketing, forsooth – that quintessential organ of oppressive capitalism) that clean, tidy, well stocked pantries are “classist, racist and sexist.”

I kid thee not. Pantries. What’s next: butt wiping?

One wonders immediately whether professors of marketing are per se classist, racist and sexist. How not?

Keep working your way down this rabbit hole with me. For “clean, tidy, well stocked pantries,” substitute any other denotation of something that has been from ancient days – or even in the last day or two – thought unremarkably good. To wit:

On the Slippery Slope of Classical Liberalism

This post about slippery slope arguments subsequends three priors: JM Smith’s post, Bill Vallicella’s critique thereof, and JM Smith’s response thereto. Readers might want to run through them, before essaying what here follows.

The slippery slope argument is to be sure, and strictly speaking, a logical fallacy, as Vallicella notices. But then, it is not intended first as a logical argument; so that it is mistaken to take it first as such. It is rather intended as an empirical and pragmatic argument – or even, rather, a simple observation, from which we might begin to adduce logical arguments.

The Lethal Economic Lacuna of the Left

In an article that details the economic disaster the West has visited upon itself by the sanctions it has in its war upon Christian orthodoxy imposed upon Russia – to the gist of which (to my amazement: strange bedfellows and trenchmates, that’s history for you, am I right?) I mostly concur – longtime Leftist Cassandra Medea Benjamin and a fellow traveler of hers whose name I don’t recognize, or care to learn about (Nicholas JS Davies) utter an economic absurdity:

Western sanctions on Russia reduced the global supply of oil and natural gas, but also pushed up prices.

This is like writing:

Democrat defund the police policies reduced the supply of policing services nationwide, but also increased crime.

It is also like writing:

War reduced the population, but also killed a lot of people.

They immediately continue:

So Russia profited from the higher prices, even as its export volume decreased.

Well, duh. Honestly, did these guys learn nothing in Econ 101? Did they even take it? Do they even understand Newton’s Third Law (generalized in Emerson’s Law of Compensation, aka Karma)? Do they know how to count change?

Wait, dumb questions: of course they didn’t, and don’t. Manifestly, they cannot put two and two together, even in an article that cleaves pretty close to sagacity. I suppose they approach geopolitical sagacity the way that the broken clock approaches temporal accuracy twice each day.

This is why the Left must never be allowed to take power. Their hearts are ostensibly in the right place, I suppose. Some of them, anyway. But, they are economic idiots. This is as much as to say that they are idiots about reality, period full stop. They talk nonsense. This is sufficient indication that they think nonsense – that, i.e., they do not think. They must never be allowed access to levers of economic or political power.

Kill Them All, & Let God Sort Them Out

This is how social deliquescence appears concretely. One faction or another – or, all factions – throw up their hands, give up negotiations, and resort to civil war. As soon as the percentage of those in the nation ready to take such a step surpasses about 3%, war is on, no matter what, sooner or later, and despite the wishes of all the other nationals. On such occasions, a Fort Sumter event is inbound. It shall soon or late happen. Then, all bets are off.

This is where we now find ourselves. Far more than 3% of Americans – perhaps it is as much as 5%, or even 7% – have decided that all Americans who are remotely such as we of the Orthosphere ought to be, and so are to be, deleted. So, the war is on.

The shooting has not yet begun, but the imprisonments have. The American gulag has already begun.

What is more, the plan is already out in the open. The elite have by the offices of the FBI declared war upon Traditional Catholics, such as I. Good heavens, and forsooth: I sang the Hassler Missa Secunda at Mass this last Sunday, in Latin; probably that makes me an enemy of the state.
