THE POST-EASTER WORLD

     Another Easter Sunday has come and gone. To be honest, I stayed home and had a quiet observation of the holiday. Church just doesn't feel the same anymore after two years of various lockouts and mask-mandate boycotts. If Western Democracy is now only a shadow of its former self, Western Christianity is a ghost of what it once was. 

    There really is no point in trying to evade the issue any longer; the Church has proven itself during the last two years to be every bit as compromised and corrupted as secular society. According to statistics compiled by the University of Chicago's General Social Survey, we see a trend that follows most of the political shift we've witnessed since the New World Order was announced in 1990.

  Americans identified as:

     1972: Protestant 62% ;Catholic 27%; Other: 6%; None 6%

     1982: Protestant 62%; Catholic 27%; None: 7%; Other: 5%

Then this:

     1992: Protestant 61%; Catholic 26%; None 8%; Other 5%

     2002: Protestant 54%; Catholic 25%; None 14%; Other 7%

     2012: Protestant 49%; Catholic 25%; None 19%; Other 7%

     2022: Protestant 48%; Catholic 23%; None 22%; Other 7%

  It shouldn't be much of a surprise that the biggest shift occurred around the same time we saw the Clinton Administration and their Republican enablers in Congress oversaw outright purges and revolutionizing of our education system. Church leaders, like the rest of American Conservatives simply rolled their eyes and looked the other way; this is the result. If anyone is inclined to doubt this, let's examine what other recent surveys say about the demographics of Christian America:

  WW2 Generation (b. 1918-1945) Christian 84%; Other 6%; None 9%

  Boomers (b. 1946-1962) Christian 76%; Other 5%; None 18%

  Gen X (b.1963-1985) Christian 71%; Other 3%; None 25%

  Millennials (b.1986-2000) Christian 62%; Other 4%; None 29%

  Gen Z (b.2001-2019) Christian 56%; Other 7%; None 34%

   In the mid-90s Americans collectively decided that it takes a village to raise a child---the family and the church became irrelevant; radicalized educators and social workers should do the job. Now, of course, Christians and Conservatives are clutching their bowties and pretending that they didn't know what was going on; that the Culture War just started last year when the Junta seized power.

   

     Protestant denominations as late as the 1970s and 1980s had a significant sociopolitical impact on American Culture. Since the 1990s, they seem to have split into two principal movements: a sort of 'woke' Rainbow Churchianity and its antipode, a Red-Pilled 'go-along-to-get-along' Neoconservative faction. Neither side emphasizes the spiritual element of humanity, nor encourages faith and personal growth. Protestantism in general seems to have replaced the concept of Divine Sovereignty with Party Loyalty. 

    Catholicism, as we've noticed as well, has been characterized recently by a formerly proactive Pope who seems to have disappeared during the Crisis of the last two years. In 2019, Pope Francis---then 83 years old---became ill and two years later underwent an unspecified surgery that many thought at the time was life-threatening. Since that time, considerable Church affairs are being delegated to Cardinals: some of whom are of very dubious character. Two of the major organizations active in the Vatican right now are the St. Gallen Group and the Council for Inclusive Capitalism with the Vatican. 

    The Saint Gallen Group---known colloquially by many Catholics as the Saint Gallen Mafia---is a conclave of so-called 'progressive' bishops and cardinals who meet yearly and essentially formulate strategies for undermining traditional Catholicism.  Their name comes from their headquarters in St. Gallen, Switzerland which (just coincidentally we're sure) is about a half-hour's drive from the World Economic Forum headquarters in Davos. The group was founded in 1971, the same year that Klaus Schwab published his manifesto, The Fourth Industrial Revolution, no doubt another 'coincidence.' The late Cardinal Carlo Martini was one of the main organizers of the St. Gallen Group. Julia Meloni, a reporter with Life Site News had this to say of Martini's character in 2018:

      "Martini eerily called himself an 'ante-pope' and a 'precursor and preparer for the Holy Father.' Martini was the leading antagonist to Popes John Paul II and Benedict—a Jesuit famous for groaning that the Church was '200 years behind.' In Night Conversations with Cardinal Martini, he cringed at the major damage caused by Humanae Vitae. The Church spoke too much about the sixth commandment and sin. He said legal abortion was, ultimately, a positive thing...

     "Martini said that in preparation for the 2005 papal election, he and others discussed the new answers that the next pope would have to give on sexuality and Communion for adulterers...The Church was tired, its rites were pompous... In 1999, Martini had a dream of hurtling the Church into 'permanent synodality'—that is, permanent revolution. The decentralized, synodal Church would foment changes on marriage, sexuality, penitential practice, priestly celibacy, women in the Church, ecumenism."

    Archbishop Carlo Vigano stated recently that: "If we identify the World Economic Forum as a private lobby that has placed its followers in the most important posts of national and international public institutions in order to impose the globalist agenda against the will of the citizens, it is certainly fitting to see a parallel with the St. Gallen Mafia. In a similar way, this cabal of conspirators also placed its agents in the Roman Curia and in the peripheral organs of the Church, just as it imposed the conciliar agenda against the will of the faithful...We are facing a global coup that involves both civil society and the Church. Both are infiltrated and controlled by characters who use their power and the authority that derives from it, not for the purposes of the institutions they govern, but in order to destroy them. This crisis of authority must be denounced, because the action of those who have reached the highest levels of leadership both of nations and of the Church is a subversive and criminal act."

    Like our contemporary American Republican leadership, Popes Paul VI, John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and Francis share a portion of the blame for compromising continually with this evil group and tolerating its existence. Good men doing nothing has brought to us to where we are both spiritually and sociopolitically.

   The Council for Inclusive Capitalism with the Vatican--- or The Guardians as they rather ominously refer to themselves--- is the secular version of the St. Gallen Group: it was formed during the Scamdemic of 2020 and had its first meeting with Pope Francis shortly before the Junta formally seized power in Washington DC. 

   The Guardians are composed the leaders of 27 Corporations and NGOs: 9 of which are among the WEF's 100 'Strategic Partners'; two others headed by WEF protegees, and combined they represent more than $10.5 trillion in assets under management, companies with over $2.1 trillion of market capitalization, and 200 million workers in over 163 countries. The Guardians' stated purpose is to "make actionable commitments aligned with the World Economic Forum Business Council's Pillars for sustainable value creation — People, Planet, Principles of Governance, and Prosperity—and to advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals."

   The Governess of the Guardians is Lynn Forester de Rothschild, formerly a WEF 'young leader' award winner in 1995. Her husband is Evelyn de Rothschild, a British financier and media mogul. It is the third marriage for both parties: they actually spent their honeymoon at the White House in 1998 at the invitation of then co-President Hilary Clinton. Forester is a major supporter and admirer of Hilary Clinton, which has led to some unsavory rumors about the personal relationship between the two. 

   The WEF has never made an especial secret of the fact that they intend to infiltrate organized religion and 'reset' that along with the rest of society.

     The Role of Religion in their New World Order, of course, has nothing to do with the recognition of God as a Higher Power, or a belief in Moral Absolutes, or with the ideal of Man as created in the Image of God, to Whom he is ultimately accountable. To condense all of the WEF hyperbole on faith, what they are actually describing is bending religion to their ideology in the same way that they bend government to it. Father Augusto Zampini Davies, a Vatican bureaucrat, recently wrote an article for the WEF explaining the Scamdemic's effect on society. "Now, we must embrace the moral imperative of radical change not just because it is right, but because it is the only practical course of action that can save the world from a worse fate in years to come. Fortunately, recent events have shown us that rapid and radical change is in fact possible on a mass scale. Our challenge now is to channel and build upon it." 

   One can see many specimens of these proposed changes on the WEF website. Among their top articles are "All Women Islamic Choir Smashes Gender Taboos in Egypt" and "A Gay Imam's Story:The Dialogue is Open in Islam" and "How Religious Groups and Services Have Adapted During the Coronavirus Pandemic" and "Islam, Judaism, and Christianity Come Together Over COVID-19." In 2020, the WEF launched a campaign of 400 religious leaders from 35 countries to make homo 'marriage' universally legal. 

   The Eastern Churches, called the Orthodox, have largely resisted the levels of corruption that the Western Churches are facing---although the Elites are working feverishly to exploit the 'Ukraine Crisis' as a vehicle to sow division and whip up anti-Russian hysteria to curb Orthodoxy's growing influence in the West. 

   Many pundits on the American Right opine today that faith and traditional religion are under attack. As usual, they miss the point. Faith and our Western Christian culture have been under attack for at least three decades, and there isn't very much that we can do about it at this late stage of decline. The best that we can do is to cultivate our own faith as individuals, not succumb to the State of Denial that most Conservatives are living in,  and prepare ourselves for the coming onslaught.
