THE UTTER USELESSNESS OF CONGRESS, THE UN, AND THE MEDIA

       Here at the beginning of the New Year's first week of post-holiday operations, the US Congress has reconvened and is vying with the Corporate Media and the United Nations for the title of The Most Useless Institution Operating on American Soil. The White House, which has more-or-less Ruled by Decree since last January, didn't even bother to consult or even notify Congress of its recent attack on Venezuelan Sovereignty. In 2025, Congress managed to pass a less-than-impressive 38 Bills, two of which were vetoed. One of these vetoed Bills was in the interests of Wall Street but also calculated to punish Conservative Congresswoman Lauren Boebert for not displaying sufficient loyalty to the Party. Another Conservative Congresswoman, Marjorie Taylor Greene was already purged in December.

     The first Order of Business on the Congressional Agenda this year of course has little to do with violations of human rights at home or abroad, or the repeated usurpation of Congressional or Judicial authority, or the unchecked influence of Globalist Robber Barons in dictating American Policy. Instead, they hope to hold impeachment hearings against Attorney-General Pam Bondi for not sufficiently whetting their constituents' appetites for sex scandals by withholding portions of muh Epstein Files. This move probably will not amount to anything; but the Democratic wing of the Uniparty likes to fantasize that it will trigger a Blue Tsunami in November. 

      

         Meanwhile, the Corporate-Controlled Media has been falling all over itself to praise the Pentagon's actions in Venezuela. Jeff Bezos' mouthpiece, the Washington Post hailed the adventure as "a stunning demonstration of American resolve and a bold, tactically flawless operation that removed “a tyrant long allied with hostile powers,” praising Hegseth for "an operation of audacious reach and surgical precision, that sent an unmistakable message to rival powers and to any government who defies US security interests in the hemisphere!” Bezos, no doubt, is among the two dozen or so (at last count) Globalist economic interests lining up to grab a share of the anticipated plunder in Venezuela. No doubt we'll also soon see vloggers and other influencers all over the Internet advising Christian Conservatives and other True Believers on how they, too, can cash in on this ground-floor investment opportunity.

      Regarding usurpation of Congressional Powers, the Media likewise as been as silent as Congress has. The Corporate Media outlets (more overtly) sympathetic to the New Right have been scoffing about violations of the United Nations Charter and huffing, like Pete Hegseth often has, that such rules don't apply to the United States. It happens, awkwardly enough for these supposed partisans of the Rule of Law, the UN Charter is part of US law too, ratified by the US Senate and signed into law by President Truman in 1945. 

       Article 2(4) of the Charter prohibits “the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state,” and authorizes the use of force only in two narrowly defined circumstances: self‑defense in response to an armed attack, or collective action sanctioned by the UN Security Council. Likewise, the murder of Venezuelan civilians on the High Seas and the seizure of Venezuelan oil tankers stands in violation of UN General Assembly Resolution 3314, which explicitly states that “the blockade of the ports or coasts of a State by the armed forces of another State” constitutes an Act of Aggressive War. Somehow, this all seems a little more concerning than some alleged cover-up of a decades-old sex scandal; but Americans today consider allegations of sexual impropriety a much more serious matter than actual War Crimes.

      It shouldn't be surprising that, with so many actual Neo-Nazis in positions of power in the US, a marked contempt for a free press, a Legislature equal to the Executive, and International Laws: the former two designed to prevent dictatorship, and the latter to keep rogue nations from subjugating other nations to impose its utopian schemes. Unfortunately, the generations which formulated such policies have gone; and the new generations have been inculcated in the Trash Culture ethics of Ghetto Ganglands where survival of the fittest; might makes right; and the personal is political have come to define our public conduct. 

       

WELCOME TO THE TECHNOCRACY

      Most of this week has been spent in fruitless endeavors to point out to the True Believers that the Incoming Government really has no intention of slowing down---let alone stopping---the march of the Globalist Oligarchy towards the Great Reset. At this point, I think that there's nothing that the Republicans could do that convince anybody that they're not on a righteous crusade to save us all from ourselves and make the world safe for American Exceptionalism. 

   At the beginning of the 21st Century, we went through the same thing with George Bush II. Things that never would have been tolerated for a moment if Al Gore had been elected were hand-waved away; the same as the New Right apes everything that Biden and Obama did and gets a free pass from the Controlled Opposition.

   During this week, the Republicans completed the hostile takeover of NASA by appointing billionaire Musk-crony Jared Isaacman to run what's left of our once-great Aerospace Program. Like Musk, Isaacman is a major government contractor through Draken International, which trains Air Force pilots under a contract with the Pentagon, operating the largest private fleet of fighter jets (apparently the US Air Force has been privatized already). Draken already gets fat government subsidies and controls large parts of American and NATO airbases; so much for any swamp-draining in that sector.

   Speaking of science, David O. Sacks, one of the shadiest of Silicon Valley Tech Lords was appointed as Top Science Advisor.

      Like many other appointees, Sacks is involved heavily in the Florida Swamp and has a multitude of WEF connections. It also does seem rather paradoxical that a political movement that claims to be so populist has this strange obsession with creating new 'czars' at every turn. Bush Sr. started the trend by giving us a Drug Czar (we all see how well that worked out, although the position is still there); but it appears that the Bush Legacy has come back with a vengeance. 

    Last but not least, the Small Business Administration got a billionaire leader this week too. Kelly Loeffler, whose husband, Jeffrey Sprecher, is the CEO of the Intercontinental Exchange, which, in turn, owns the New York Stock Exchange. This power couple made significant profits during the Scamdemic; but as head of the SBA, we can rest assured that small businesses will be a top priority for the new government. 

   So far, the new government has appointed at least 19 billionaires to key positions, not including the four newly-elected Republican Senators who likewise have at least a ten-figure net worth.

   

    Now, of course, if Kamala Harris had won and began packing the Government with Corporate Robber Barons and committed globalist Techno-Fascists, there would be no end of outrage streaming out the Controlled Opposition. Instead, though, there has been nothing but universal praise and acclamation to the point where a flaming homosexual who works for George Soros is hailed as a based and Red-Pilled choice for Treasury Secretary.

   How does this Cognitive Dissonance come about? The recent discussions I've had online with the True Believers has one thing clear: most have a very black/white, either/or approach to issues. As Bush Jr. famously summed up the thinking: "You're either for us or you're against us." Democrats are bad, therefore Republicans must be good. Communism is evil, therefore Crony Capitalism must be righteous. The Mainstream Media lies, therefore the 'Conservative' outlets must be telling the truth. Atheist Materialism is bad, therefore Christian Nationalism must be good. So on and so forth.

    This kind of fallacious reasoning has been sown deliberately in our culture as part of the Strategy of Tension. Whether the perceived threat comes from the 'Left' or the 'Right' is a matter of indifference to the ruling class: the only important thing is that people demand an authoritarian government. That's one reason why there has been so little pushback from the Democrats this year compared to 2016 and 2020. If Kamala had won, the Republicans likewise would have thrown up the sponge and capitulated. All that the Oligarchy cares about is moving the Great Reset forward; and they are certainly poised to accelerate in the coming years. 

A TALE OF TWO HOLIDAYS

     79 years ago, about the time that most of the US' current political and economic leaders were born, the two remaining world superpowers proclaimed holidays following the unconditional surrender of Nazi forces in Europe. US President Harry Truman declared May 8th 'Victory in Europe Day', while Soviet Premier Josef Stalin commemorated May 9th as 'Victory Day;' the difference between the two being because of the respective time-zones in the two countries when the European conflict officially ended.

   Truman stated in his radio address that: "For this victory, we join in offering thanks to the Providence which has guided and sustained us through the dark days of adversity. Our rejoicing is sobered and subdued by the supreme consciousness of the terrible price we paid to rid the world of Hitler and his evil band. Let us not forget, my fellow-Americans, the sorrow and heartbreak which abide in the homes of our neighbors---neighbors whose most priceless possession has been rendered as a sacrifice to redeem our liberty...

   "We can repay the debt that we owe to our God, to our dead, and to our children, only by work---by ceaseless devotion to the responsibilities which lie ahead of us...I do hereby appoint Sunday, May 13, 1945 to be a day of prayer. I call upon the people of the United States, whatever their faith, to unite in offering joyful thanks to God for the victory we have won and pray that He will support us to the end of our present struggle and guide us into the way of peace. I also call upon my fellow-Americans to dedicate this Day of Prayer to the memory of those who have given their lives to make possible our victory."  

   V-E Day, 2024 went largely unnoticed in the United States, for obvious reasons. Both our political parties have joined hands in support of an openly Nazi Regime in Ukraine and one in Palestine which is committing blatant genocide under a Regime which believes itself part of a Master Race. Currently, around 3,000 of our fellow-Americans are in jail for protesting these policies and Congress is in the process of erecting a Secret Police Force within our schools and universities hypocritically under the guise of combating anti-Semitism. The Controlled Opposition, which is sounding more and more like outright Nazis themselves every day, have lost the battle in the Marketplace of Ideas and are resorting to the lowest forms of tyranny: censorship and terroristic forms of compulsion. 

   In contrast to this, Russia---which is still committed to fighting Nazi and Fascist Regimes---celebrated Victory Day with parades and festivities, like we used to do in the United States. 

  Russian President Vladimir Putin, who yesterday was sworn in for a fifth presidential term following his landslide electoral victory in March, gave a speech where he noted the following:

  "Today, we bow our heads before the blessed memory of all those who had their life taken by the Great Patriotic War, before the memory of sons, daughters, fathers, mothers, grandparents, great-grandfathers, husbands, wives, brothers, sisters, relatives, and friends. We bow our heads before the late veterans of the Great Patriotic War, before the memory of the civilians who died from the barbaric shelling and attacks of neo-Nazis, before our comrades who fell in the fight against neo-Nazism in the righteous fight for Russia."

  Putin also warned the world of the dangers of the resurgent Naziism overshadowing Civilization today:

  "Russia firmly opposes the West’s policies aimed at elevating a few nations by restraining the development of other sovereign states. Many Western nations would like to forget the lessons of World War II...These [actions] are part of the general policy of Western Elites of inciting more and more regional conflicts, inter-ethnic and inter-religious hostility, and restraining the development of sovereign independent states. No country or military bloc has a right to do so, which World War II proved. We reject any state's or alliance's claims to Exceptionalism. We know what the claims of such exorbitance leads to."

  Putin's comments should---but probably won't---cause many Americans to reflect upon how far we collectively have forsaken the Liberties that were worth fighting for during the lifetimes of many of our own leaders. Most Americans look back at the leadership of the 1940s as a collection of Dead White Males if they think about it all.

  

  

  

FAITH, PSYCHOSIS, AND ALIENATION

    I apologize for the long hiatus between posts. The incessant shadowbanning hasn't completely eliminated our audience yet, but sometimes it helps to step back from the sheer cesspool of insanity that our postmodern dystopia has sunk into. I used to live in a city that went from an average city teetering on the brink to full-blown progressivism and I can testify from experience that continual contact with human depravity can affect even the strongest minds.

    I recall once during my church-camp days, the aged priest used to give morning lectures before we went out. One day he had four jars: two half-full of crystal clear distilled water and the two other half-full of brackish swamp-water. He explained that jars were like the body and the waters like the soul. He showed that even a small amount of dirty water contaminated the clean, while no amount of the clean could purify the foul waters. He went on to explain that through Grace and Reason, God has given us the will to refuse contamination. "But" he explained, "Our reason is imperfect and our faith often weak. So the contamination occurs anyway. But God has given us means to purify ourselves." He then went on to show us how water can be purified which is, of course, camp-related stuff; but such was education in a day and age when spirituality was still considered important.

   The end of the last century and the beginning of this one has shown the defects of American Liberalism which has finally collapsed into a cross between Jacobin fanaticism and Bolshevist nihilism. But the last decade and a half is opening the defects of American Conservatism: which is rapidly degenerating into a sort of mix between ruthless Social Darwinism and neo-Fascism. Both of these sociopolitical tendencies have their roots in Narcissism and Egoism which, depending on the personal inclinations of their respective partisans, manifest themselves in their politics. 

  We often mistakenly refer to the Left as 'collectivists.' In reality, Western Left-Liberalism is deeply driven by Narcissism. As proof of this, just look at real Collectivist countries like North Korea. One doesn't see flash-mobs looting stores in Pyongyang and getting away with it because some group feels as though they were discriminated against; nor are North Korean men who 'identify' as women able to cancel entire media platforms and impose their lifestyles on the public schools. On the Left likes to imagine that Conservatives are religious bigots whose policies are based on whatever their religious leaders teach. Again, imagine a Neocon in a real Theocracy like Iran. Try explaining to the Ayatollahs how economic might makes right, that compassion is for weaklings, and that it is the Will of Allah that the less fortunate get whatever they deserve---and see how far that argument gets you. 

   Our 'official' attitudes towards two nations we've written of lately---namely Canada and Russia---illustrate this perfectly. The Tech Lords are censoring information from both countries: in Canada's case in submission to its requests and in Russia's case over its opposition. Nobody seems to worried that censorship is actually wrong in either case. In Canada, we've seen a government which not that long ago was supporting book-burnings and locking down churches violently suppress a peaceful protest. The suppression is still ongoing and we still don't know the number of dead. Dissidents have had their assets seized and basically been frozen out of Canadian society and there are very few legal means to help them. Canada has also restricted travel, de facto closed its borders to all but commerce and has muzzled the media. The Trudeau Regime has admitted to building internment camps and maintaining a secret police force which conducts both domestic espionage and carries out psychological warfare on the populace. This week, the Regime extended its gun-control policies to include long guns like rifles and shotguns; and there are also unconfirmed reports that so-called welfare agencies have been removing children from the homes of known dissidents.

   Yet, we don't hear a peep out of 'Compassionate Conservatives' over any of this. Despite the fact that an unstable tyrant has near absolute power over a country right on our very border and is committing wanton human rights violations along with humanitarian disasters is passed over in complete silence. After all, Corporate America has a lot of money tied up in Canada---and Conservatives don't want to rock the boat where profit margins are concerned. Besides, if the Canadian people are suffering, it's their own fault for being Canadian, according to Conservative logic. 

  Their attitude towards Canada may be hypocritical, but their stance against Russia is proof of their insanity---because the American Right is condemning Russia for doing what their own stated Conservative goals are. Conservatives say that we need to project power to fight Islamic Extremism: Russia sends an expeditionary force to Syria and wipes out ISIS and Al-Qaeda. Conservatives say we should oppose Soros-backed Color Revolutions and Russia has frustrated attempts to seize Belarus, Kazakhstan, Georgia, and Crimea. Conservatives say that we should secure our border to prevent proliferation of organized crime and drugs; Russia is doing that right now by suppressing one of the international hotbeds of these activities on its southwestern border. Conservatives say that we should support peoples who desire self-government; Russia has done so by recognizing the independent republics of Donetsk and Lughansk. It's hardly a coincidence either that Corporate America is far more invested in Canada than in Russia when accounting for the differing attitudes towards the two countries. 

  In light of this recent resurgence in Neoconservatism, we shouldn't lose sight of the larger picture, which is the fact that the Elites still fully intend to impose the Great Reset and it is a matter of complete indifference to them which tools they employ to implement it. Democrats and Republicans are equally expendable. Politicians are to these Elites what middle-management is to the Corporate bureaucracies they control. I believe that what we're seeing is the formulation of a 'Plan B.' If the Elites feel that establishing the Biden/Harris Junta in permanent power is too unstable or unsalvageable, they'll simply repeat what they did in 2000. They'll will have the RNC coronate a candidate acceptable to themselves who'll push their agenda forward under a new label---just like 'woke' corporations sell their baloney to the Left. 

    We have to beware right now of falling into this trap yet again. We had 'Red Waves' take over Congress in 1994 and 2010. What we got in return was NAFTA, GATT, the Assault-Weapons Ban, the Telecommunications Reform Act, the Omnibus Crime Bill, the Patriot Act, approving domestic espionage, the repeal of the anti-Propaganda Act; left-wing whackos appointed to the Supreme Court---court decisions which have legalized bribery in campaigns, extended the power of corporations to seize private property, institutionalized State power over healthcare, mandated homo 'equality', and upheld election theft---all punctuated by pointless military interventions on every continent. Just look at the likes of Ted Cruz, Mitch McConnell, Mitt Romney, Lindsey Graham, Greg Abbott, Jeb Bush, Glenn Youngkin, Larry Elder, and Bruce Jenner: that is what they tell you is going to save us. Don't believe for one moment that the President-in-Exile is coming back, because it isn't going to happen. 

   We need to do instead is remember the venerable priest's words from my summer camp days. Guard your bodies, strengthen your minds, and grow in faith. The narcissism and egoism of our zeitgeist is completely contrary to the spirit of Americanism. As Harry Truman said of the the Communists who were planning a New World Order in his day, "Their agenda is godless. Faith is the foundation of our democracy: faith in oneself, faith in one's neighbor, faith in God." A foundation not constructed on faith---whatever it calls itself---is not a foundation for a free society. 

   

   

     

AMERICAN MASCULINITY IN DECLINE

   During the Summer of 1945, President Harry Truman announced to the nation that the Second World War had officially ended; and that the menace of global Fascist tyranny had been neutralized. The task of rebuilding and returning to normal lay ahead. Truman reached out to the Allied Powers who'd shared in the mission to help rebuild. The international situation was still very unstable; but the general mood of the nation was upbeat. While in the midst of a severe economic downturn, the attack on Pearl Harbor destroyed most of military capability; but we'd come together, rallied, and came back to win a two-front war within four years.

   But somewhere between then and now, the American people collectively lost it. The cracks in our society began showing not long after the war. It first really became apparent during the Korean War. Military veterans of WW2 remarked that the quality of personnel had declined radically from just a few years before. In 1950, the American Army was in full retreat: the North Koreans had beaten us down to a mere beachhead and were poised to push us off the Peninsula. Had General MacArthur not come out of retirement to execute a brilliant military maneuver, it would have concluded in a massive defeat. 

   Social scientists and medical professionals also saw ominous signs. As early as 1948, psychiatrist Theodore Reik published Masochism in Modern Man, were he noted a sharp increase in masochistic and submissive tendencies appearing in postwar male subjects. "It is important to note" he writes, "that masochism as a perversion is rare among women while it certainly is the prevailing perversion among men... it is the most frequent and the most significant sexual perversion in our society and as such determines the sexual behavior of innumerable representatives of our civilization. The masochistic attitude is of still greater importance because it proves the possibilities of cultural utilization of the deviation."

    Throughout the 1950s and early 1960s, the weakness of postmodern men was becoming alarmingly apparent. To their credit, the Mass-Media of the day tried to counter it with heroic cultural archetypes. The patriot, the Western hero, the soldier, policemen and detectives, secret agents, and astronauts were---along with the strong modern family man were held up as ideals. But the ideal and the reality were becoming widely separated. Advertisers noted that the primary audience for these shows were American women. They were obviously seeking what they didn't find in their own lives. Psychiatrist Frank Caprio noted in the 1950s that: "While modern man is more sex conscious than ever before, he is still a sexual ignoramus...many men are egocentric and uninformed and are anything but 'God's Gift to women'. Their ignorance {and indifference} towards the average woman's emotional make-up and of the proper sex technique is colossal."

    Postwar social scientists saw especial concerns here, because most of them had spent the war itself engaged in research of the psychological and social conditions in Axis countries. It really became apparent through these studies that nearly all of the Axis leaders were perverts and sexual degenerates of long standing. Some who dug a little deeper learned that other totalitarian and radical movements had the same tendencies well-represented among their own leaders. There was a strong consensus that sexual dysfunction and attraction to authoritarianism had at least a statistical correlation. But even more troubling was the fact that the same weaknesses and degeneracy among the American male population manifesting in the 1950s and 1960s were noted by European scientists during the 1920s and 1930s. Wilhelm Stekel, who lived in the heartland of where the Nazi Movement began, wrote in 1927 that among German men: "Sexual inadequacy is increasing to an alarming degree and impotence has come to be a disorder associated with the rise of modern civilization (i.e. the situation in Weimar Germany after WW1)...The percentage of relatively impotent men cannot be placed too high. In my experience hardly half of {postwar German} men enjoy normal potency."

    

   When the U.S. entered the Vietnam War, the problems noted by military leaders in Korea had become infinitely worse. In WW2, American military units were characterized by effective teamwork; in Vietnam the responsibility fell mostly on the individual soldiers who able or willing to do the work. Needless to say, this had a terrible effect on morale and discipline. Domestically, this was made even worse by widespread Draft evasion and an open revolt among American men against anything even remotely resembling traditional masculinity. Men compensated for their growing effeminacy by advocating for 'free love' and shirking familial responsibilities. The archetype of the American became a slovenly, self-centered, drug-addicted loser sponging off society and giving nothing in return. 

   By the 1970s, American women joined in the general decline. Most of them until then had rejected Feminism which was always promoted by the defectives among their gender. By then though American men had sunk to the point where they were willing to let women take over their social responsibilities. We've never recovered from this decline and it's highly unlikely that we will. It's interesting to note that modern so-called 'Conservatives' look back to men of the 50s as role models while modern so-called 'Liberals' find the 60s male appealing. They are really two sides of the same coin. 

     It's difficult to decipher exactly what led to this decline. The wars we fought that we fought between 1898 and 1945 cost about 400,000 of our best men dead and another 880,000 wounded, as well as another 80,000 missing. That's a huge toll to take on a nation's best men. Consider that 3/4 of these numbers were from World War II alone. Unlike previous warfare which consumed a lot of cannon fodder, modern warfare calls for the sacrifice of the best and most able men. The conditions that Stekel had described in Germany likewise occured after the Germans had lost a whopping 15% ---about one in six---of its young men during WW1. 

   Another factor to consider is that family men who served in WW2 were absent from home on average of from 3-6 years. That's about double the time absent during the wars with Spain, WW1, and some of the other conflicts of the period. During the 1898-1941 period, even a professional military man was rarely away from home on the battlefront for longer than six months. The situation during WW2 left a lot of children de facto fatherless during their most formative years. We can well imagine that the transition from extended military service to traditional family wasn't very smooth for many of these fathers. 

   While an interesting theory, it doesn't tell the whole picture. The fact is we didn't see anything like this kind of an impact on the generations who followed the American Revolution, the War of 1812, the Mexican War, or the US Civil War earlier. Those wars were not only costly; they were fought mostly on American soil and impacted the average American even more than the later ones did. In fact, they seem to have had the opposite effect and produced men even more virile and robust than before. 

   Other possible explanations include other environmental factors such as the proliferation of narcotics, less healthy diets, environmental pollution, etc. Those aren't sufficient explanations however. As noted in the psychological abstracts, the decline effected men much heavier than women in the 50s and 60s; and it really wasn't until the 70s and 80s that women were taking on the same defects. Actually, even during that period, it was mostly reactionary and it's been from the 90s and later that we've seen a parallel rejection of femininity. If the causes were organic, it would have impacted both genders simultaneously---which is not what happened. 

  Another theory is that masculinity declined through defective education. The Long March of Cultural Marxism seized our institutions mostly through the schools during this period. But this explanation, too, is inadequate. Just like Radical Feminism, Cultural Marxism could have been stopped if it had met with even a shred of resistance. Instead, American men mostly capitulated to it and even encouraged it. Actual Communism is friendlier to traditional masculinity than the latent homosexuality of the American 'woke' Left is today.

    What is responsible for the decline and fall of American Masculinity? All of the theories proposed so far are doubtless contributing factors, but none alone actually explain the root cause. It would be interesting to consider opinions on the subject, because understanding the fundamental cause is a first step towards fixing it. Looking back to our ancestors' examples isn't enough at this point. Younger men can't relate to it and the sociopolitical infrastructure doesn't support it. Nonetheless, it's a problem that can't be ignored any longer. As of this writing, 1 in 8 American men under the age of 30 are clinically impotent and about 1 in 6 identify as not exclusively heterosexual. Suicides and narcotics overdoses rank higher than most diseases and accidents as a cause of male mortality. Recent studies indicate that high percentages of American men don't believe in God or believe that life has a purpose, have no interest in starting families or raising children, and consider work of any kind meaningless. It's obvious that we can't sustain this kind of a decline. But how do we find our way out? That answer is not so obvious. 

   

AN APPEAL TO HEAVEN

      The courageous Archbishop C.M. Vigano has spoken out again; urging us in America to hold fast to our faith in these dark times and providing an excellent commentary on the true political situation here. Although His Excellency directs this message to Roman Catholics, I would---in a pluralistic society Republic like ours---encourage those of all faiths to read the Archbishop's words and apply it to their own beliefs. As former President Truman once said in a Christmas Speech during the hellish winter of 1950 when the military situation was looking grim for the UN in the Korean War: "I urge all Americans of whatever Faith or Creed to turn to God in prayer that we may be victorious in this global crusade against Communism. Communism is godless. Faith is the Foundation of our Democracy. Faith in one's self, faith in one's neighbor, faith in God."

    I'm going to post the full text of Vigano's letter without commentary because---well----there's little that can be added to it. We'll be back soon with regular commentary.😇

   "Dear Brothers and Sisters,

    "As devout Christians and faithful citizens of the United States of America, you have intense and heartfelt concern for the fate of your beloved country while the final results of the Presidential election are still uncertain.

    "News of electoral fraud is multiplying, despite the shameful attempts of the mainstream media to censor the truth of the facts in order to give their candidate the advantage. There are states in which the number of votes is greater than the number of voters; others in which the mail-in vote seems to be exclusively in favor of Joe Biden; others in which the counting of ballots has been suspended for no reason or where sensational tampering has been discovered: always and only against President Donald J. Trump, always and only in favor of Biden.

   "In truth, for months now we have been witnessing a continuous trickle of staggered news, of manipulated or censored information, of crimes that have been silenced or covered up in the face of striking evidence and irrefutable testimony. We have seen the deep state organize itself, well in advance, to carry out the most colossal electoral fraud in history, in order to ensure the defeat of the man who has strenuously opposed the establishment of the New World Order that is wanted by the children of darkness. In this battle, you have not failed, as is your sacred duty, to make your own contribution by taking the side of the Good. Others, enslaved by vices or blinded by infernal hatred against Our Lord, have taken the side of Evil.

   "Do not think that the children of darkness act with honesty, and do not be scandalized if they operate with deception. Do you perhaps believe that Satan’s followers are honest, sincere, and loyal? The Lord has warned us against the Devil: “He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he speaks in character, because he is a liar and the father of lies” (Jn 8:44).

   "In these hours, while the gates of Hell seem to prevail, allow me to address myself to you with an appeal, which I trust that you will respond to promptly and with generosity. I ask you to make an act of trust in God, an act of humility and filial devotion to The Lord of Armies. I ask that all of you pray the Holy Rosary, if possible in your families or with your dear ones, your friends, your brothers and sisters, your colleagues, your fellow soldiers. Pray with the abandonment of children who know how to have recourse to their Most Holy Mother to ask her to intercede before the throne of the Divine Majesty. Pray with a sincere soul, with a pure heart, in the certainty of being heard and answered. Ask her – she who is the Help of Christians, Auxilium Christianorum – to defeat the forces of the Enemy; ask her – she who is terrible as an army set in battle array (Song 6:10) – to grant the victory to the forces of Good and to inflict a humiliating defeat on the forces of Evil.

   "Have your children pray, using the holy words that you have taught them: those confident prayers will rise to God and will not remain unheard. Have the elderly and sick pray, so that they may offer their sufferings in union with the sufferings that Our Lord suffered on the Cross when he shed His Precious Blood for Our Redemption. Have young ladies and women pray, so that they turn to her who is the model of purity and motherhood. And you, men, must also pray: your courage, your honor and your boldness will be refreshed and strengthened. All of you, take up this spiritual weapon, before which Satan and his minions retreat furiously, because they fear the Most Holy Virgin, she who is Almighty by Grace, even more than Almighty God.*

* (Editor's note included: 'There is some confusion regarding the reference in the text to the devil fearing the Virgin Mary, in a sense, ‘more than Almighty God’. Please note that this refers to the fact that the devil while he must accept his being vanquished by the Almighty would be more terrorized by the prospect, prophesied by God Himself, of the demon’s head being crushed by the heel of Mary – the humblest of creatures.)

   "Do not allow yourselves to be discouraged by the deceptions of the Enemy, even more so in this terrible hour in which the impudence of lying and fraud dares to challenge Heaven. Our adversaries’ hours are numbered if you will pray, if we will all pray with Faith and with the true ardor of Charity. May the Lord grant that one single devout and faithful voice rise from your homes, your churches, and your streets! This voice will not remain unheard, because it will be the voice of a people that cries out, in the moment when the storm rages most fiercely, “Save us, Lord, we are perishing!” (Mt 8:25).

   "The days that await us are a precious occasion for all of you, and for those who unite themselves spiritually to you from every part of the world. You have the honor and privilege of being able to participate in the victory of this spiritual battle, to wield the powerful weapon of the Holy Rosary as our fathers did at Lepanto to repel the enemy armies.

   "Pray with the certainty of Our Lord’s promise: “Ask and it shall be given unto you, seek and you shall find, knock and the door shall be opened unto you” (Lk 11:9). The King of Kings, from whom you ask the salvation of your Nation, will reward your Faith. Your testimony, remember this, will touch the heart of Our Lord, multiplying the heavenly Graces which are, more than ever, indispensable in order to achieve victory.

  "May my appeal, which I address to you and to all people who recognize the Lordship of God, find you to be generous apostles and courageous witnesses of the spiritual rebirth of your beloved country, and with it the entire world. Non praevalebunt.

God bless and protect the United States of America!

One Nation under God!"

A REALITY CHECK ON INDEPENDENCE DAY

    The three-day weekend on this July 4th hopefully will give the downtrodden and dispirited American public some time to reflect on this year. We are right now in an ongoing coup d'etat, though thanks to the Media Slime, many are in a state of denial unaware of what's happening right before their eyes. They've all sorts of media circuses to distract attention from the New Normal. 

    "Residents of the small New Hampshire town of Bedford were shocked to learn today of the arrest of Ghislaine Maxwell,  former consort of disgraced billionaire Jeffrey Epstein. Described by neighbors as a 'gentle giant', Maxwell was arrested in a local supermarket after customers complained that she was standing less than six feet away and maskless. Investigators also found racist material---reportedly a box of Uncle Ben's Rice and an Eskimo Pie---in her grocery cart. Upon interrogation, it was learned that she and Epstein engaged in heterosexual activities and once watched a Washington Redskins football game after a night of sex. Horrified investigators jailed her and have put her on a Suicide Watch; but don't believe any Right-Wing conspiracy theories if she actually dies. 

   "In other news, Democratic leaders are blasting the President's racist, homophobic, and ignorant Mt. Rushmore speech. Democratic Presidential Nominee Joe Biden said of the infamous diatribe: 'Orange Man Bad.' We'll have a full analysis with a panel of experts on CNN Tonight with Don Lemon..."

   You get the idea. The MSM actually deserves to be laughed at more than it merits analytical criticism. But what's no laughing matter is the mass-hysteria that the Press has been whipping on since February. 

  Americans need to pause this holiday season and start thinking for a change. Has anybody noticed that the COVID hysteria broke out less than one month after the Democrats' final attempt at Impeachment failed? Was there the slightest bit of discussion or debate at the legislative levels before Democrat and RINO governors simply declared a State of Emergency and began ruling by decree? 

   And, as we've predicted many times now, the 'Reopening' is all fake. Now that the Summer of Love is fading before the next manufactured crisis---the 'Resurgent COVID outbreak' is dominating the news. Rebel governors are already rolling back the 'reopenings' and issuing absurd decrees like mandatory mask-wearing despite the fact that we've all known from the beginning that masks are useless. 

    Instead of falling for this again, Americans need to stop and think. What caused this new 'outbreak?' The Insurgents insist that it's not the riots. It isn't because of close contact in 'essential' businesses before. No; it's because we 'reopened' too soon, according to Mad Scientist-in-Chief Fauci. 

    So, in other words, not social distancing doesn't cause COVID outbreaks and neither does not 'masking up'; at the same, however, we need to mandate these practices because they supposedly prevent the disease from spreading. Then again, masks don't have the ability to stop a virus, but we have to wear them anyway because they're mandated---and that's alright too, since virologists don't actually know at this point whether COVID is airborne or spread by close contact. But gloves aren't mandated because they're too porous to prevent contamination by contact. 

   Some of the mad doctors are saying that the virus has mutated into a new form. They don't know what it does or how it spreads; but that's reason enough to forbid you from visiting a gym with a dozen people; but not a big box store with hundreds of people. And it's not dangerous to join with the jolly neighbors to burn police cars and loot the local Safeway; but going to church is definitely unsafe. 

   All of this should tell us that all of these emergency measures---which they tell us one moment are temporary and a 'New Normal' the next---are based on nothing but a lie. Yes, COVID-19 is a real virus. A virus with a .05% mortality rate; a virus that over half of those infected are asymptomatic; a virus with an 85% recovery rate. In other words, it's a new strain of the Common Flu, and it's being treated like the Black Death---even though none of the mandates associated with it actually work. 

   

  
     Apparently part of the New Normal is mixing social restrictions with periods of psychotic rage. “It’s clear to me that we’re not going back into a national lockdown, but what people should expect are rolling periods and rotating areas of reopening phases,” David Rosenberg, founder and president of Toronto’s Rosenberg Research told interviewers in Money magazine last week, "What is more likely is a patchwork system of local response, and stepped-up promotion and enforcement of partial measures like mask-wearing and social distancing. All of which will help, but economies won’t really be let loose until the “Big Kahuna” of a vaccine eventually comes along."

    The vaccine is going end all of this just like anti-Terrorism laws after the fall of Al-Qaeda and ISIS were repealed and life got back to normal again. It didn't happen then and it's not intended that it should happen now. 

   So in June, the Elites figured out that the intervals between these epidemics shouldn't be wasted, so they've decided to employ them with rounds of Cultural Cleansing. This last month's was built on as much of a lie as the COVID 'crisis' is. A policeman in Minneapolis subdued a known thug with a legal (and non-lethal) martial arts hold. Even though said thug was talking the entire time, the consensus was that the officer choked him to death. How he could speak with a broken windpipe, nobody bothered to ask; but we're talking about a populace already conditioned to believe that a bad cold could wipe out millions of people. Just like most COVID fatalities were related to pre-existing conditions, so the thug George Floyd died of stress complicated by drug abuse. 

   Now, only a week before, police were held up among the frontline heroes bravely risking COVID exposure to keep us all safe. Then, suddenly, they became emblematic of Systemic Racism (whatever that means) and the Elites launched a campaign of defunding and disbanding police forces. That---along with releasing inmates during the lockdowns---led to a surge in crimes; however we're told that these aren't really crimes. Instead, they are only justifiable expressions of outrage felt by the oppressed communities who've suffered from White Privilege. 

   Nobody actually knows what White Privilege and Systemic Racism actually mean---or even if they really exist---but all the unthinking American dimwit has to know is that they must mean very bad things and that the demands of whoever opposes them must be good things. What destroying national monuments, scrubbing the names of national heroes from public places, and changing century-old corporate logos has to do with a very tenuous case of alleged police brutality in a Minnesota city is anybody's guess---and so far nobody has bothered to ask. 

   These are things that most Americans need to think about on this 4th: which can be summed up by saying: Pull your collective heads out of your collective butts and start thinking for yourselves for a change. Shake the Cannabis-charred cobwebs from your brains and realize that you're being played for fools. Stop pretending that compliance will save you: the Elites will only tolerate your stupidity and cowardice as long as you are considered useful to them. 

   For the actual, thinking American whose Reason and Faith are feeling shaken right now, you should reflect instead that we---as a people---have been in tough spots before. In 1950, former President Harry Truman said: "Communism is godless. Faith is the foundation of our democracy: faith in oneself, faith in one's neighbor, and Faith in God." It has always been a minority whose perseverance has carried the majority. Since the Declaration of Independence was signed, consider how hopeless the 4th of July must have looked in 1780, 1863, and 1942 when we were locked in fights for liberty and on the defensive. In 2020, we're on the defensive too, but we can still win this fight. Keep the Faith---it's our most important defense right now.

EATING WITH AUNT JEMIMA WHILE EBAY EATS CROW

   As we all have heard, there are big changes going in Corporate America---adjusting to the New Normal which they, of course, have been engineering throughout 2020. People forget that the biggest and most monopolistic Corporation of the last century was the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). That enterprise was the sole employer and business in all of Russia and several other countries before going bankrupt in 1991. The New Normal that Wall Street, the DNC, and their affiliates here is a refined version of that system. 

   With Communism comes purges, and PepsiCo ---an agribusiness cartel whose initials 'PC' totally define their social policies--- announced that it was purging one of its subsidiaries' spokeswomen, the venerable old mammy, Aunt Jemima. 

   The good news is that we've been experiencing decent economic times here, so we've decided to hire Aunt Jemima at our blog to share her culinary expertise. This is to help a lot of our readers keep from going insane with some practical stories. During the Obama years, we used to the same with movie reviews. So welcome aboard to our newest contributor and look for her columns soon! PepsiCo, meanwhile, can find a more positive role model for contemporary American Black women. Here's a suggestion:

 
 This is much closer to what we've seen lately: fist in the air, her big mouth swinging open like a trap-door, demanding exoneration for some thug. Makes one want to run out and grab a Pepsi---maybe even getting one for free if there's looting going on in your neighborhood. 

  In some other good news, it seems that Ebay's Corporate infrastructure suffered a shakeup too; although not quite as they intended. The Trump Administration---despite being targeted in the ongoing coup attempt---is still committed to wiping out White-Collar Crime. It was announced on Monday that six Ebay officials are sitting in the Middlesex County Jail facing multiple federal charges of cyberstalking an unnamed family who publishes a website exposing consumer fraud. These six worthies are were all executive-level officials:

• James Baugh, EBay’s former senior director of safety and security; 
• David Harville, former director of global resiliency; 
• Stephanie Popp, former senior manager of global intelligence; 
• Stephanie Stockwell, former manager of EBay’s global intelligence center; 
• Veronica Zea, a former EBay intelligence contractor; and 
• Brian Gilbert, a former senior manager of special operations for firm’s Global Security Team. 

   According to the indictments, top-level executives at Ebay were reading the critical website and fuming about being exposed there on a regular basis. An unnamed official gave orders to destroy the family operating the site. The defendants sent the family anonymous packages and messages of a threatening and shocking nature. The culmination of the plan was to have Gilbert (one of the defendants and former police captain in Santa Rosa, California) approach them incognito and try to negotiate a stop to the harassment in exchange for the family providing the names and information of people who'd commented on their articles. 

   The petty vindictiveness didn't stop there. According to the Indictment: "the campaign allegedly involved covertly surveilling the victims in their home and community. According to the complaint, Harville and Zea registered for a software development conference to explain their trip to Boston on Aug. 15, 2019. Baugh, Harville, and Zea (and later Popp) allegedly drove to the victims’ home in Natick several times, with Harville and Baugh intending at one point to break into the victims’ garage and install a GPS tracking device on their car. As protection in the event they were stopped by local police, Baugh and Harville allegedly carried false documents purporting to show that they were investigating the victims as “Persons of Interest” who had threatened eBay executives."

   They weren't very good at espionage, however, and their activities were reported to the Natick Police and Middlesex County Sheriff (you know, the people that the Left wants to defund) and the local authorities got the FBI involved. If convicted, these losers could be headed for about five years in the pokey. 

   Despite Ebay's damage control going into overdrive and pretending that these were a few bad apples, it came out that the two (so far) unindicted Ebay officials who ordered these dastardly crimes were none other than the former head of Ebay's Public Relations Department, Steven Wymer and former Ebay CEO. Devin Wenig.

   Wymer and Wenig, according to many business pundits, stand a fairly good chance of being adorned in striped suits themselves before the year's end. Wenig stepped down as CEO of Ebay in 2019 because of what he called "activist pressure," but not before snagging a $57 million severance package before moving on to his current job on the General Motors Board of Directors. Prior to Ebay, Wenig was CEO of Media Conglomerate Thompson-Reuters. 

   I certainly hope that certain Conservative/Libertarians out there who think that Big Business is somehow more noble and purely American than Big Government will sit up and take notice. As Teddy Roosevelt pointed out, there's really not much difference between an economy controlled by a handful of plutocrats and one controlled by a handful of State bureaucrats. Godless Capitalism and Godless Communism are only two sides of the same coin. The choice between State or Corporation is a false dichotomy; and both end in de facto slavery and political oppression.

   

    Our Founding Fathers understood that the best and safest protection for the people against autocratic regimes is a Free Market governed by laws rooted in a belief in a Higher Power to Whom all must answer. Unfortunately, corruption in public education has led us to a point where our Founders are despised. But, as long as high schools and colleges keep churning out winning sports teams, parents and alumni don't protest too much about anything taught there. And who knows? Maybe the New Normal will give us free bread and circuses too. 

TRUMP PROCLAIMS DAY OF PRAYER FOR MEMORIAL DAY

    On Friday, President Trump issued a proclamation, the likes of which haven't been seen in the U.S. now for far too long. Here's the relevant portion of it, although the full text of his remarks are on the White House website. 

    President Trump has brought back a law which became effective during the Truman Administration. As far as I know to the contrary, it hasn't been observed since Truman left office. I can't remember any president during my teen years onward who's ordered a National Day of Prayer on Memorial Day.

     It's truly astounding that since the Trump Administration took office, Americans are learning that it's OK to pray again. One of the monumental achievements of this Administration has been overhauling the DOJ Guidelines so that Christians are no longer persecuted by anti-religious bigots and their pals in Big Government. It's been noticeable that the tear-down-the-crosses gangs have been remarkably silent during the last few Christmas and Easter Seasons. 

     On a related note, the President will be in Japan during Memorial Day on a state visit. I hope that he reminds Akihito and his camarilla of just how many thousands of American men are specifically being honored on Memorial Day for giving their lives in a conflict which the honorable fathers of the Japanese leadership were responsible for starting. It would be nice if the Japs formally apologized for a few war crimes committed against the United States too.

    I have a feeling though that the President is sending a more subtle message to the Imperial Cabinet simply by appearing in Tokyo during the holiday. The old militarism has been making a comeback in Japan and Trump needs to remind them that such things won't be tolerated. His rapprochement with North Korea and the new paradigm in US-South Korean relations dealt a severe blow to Japanese designs on the Peninsula. 

    But it's not only Japan who was thwarted, but the interests of the supposedly 'peace-loving' American Liberals were likewise frustrated. Remember where Obama's 'Pivot to Asia' got us only three years ago.  And it's also not widely known; but had Hillary been elected, the DNC had already decided to arm the B-2 bombers which Obama had recently deployed to Korea with atomic bombs. Although I disagree with much of Trump's policy in the Middle East, he has been far less aggressive than his immediate predecessors. The Trump Administration has been a relatively peaceful one. 

     So overall we're making Memorial Day Weekend great again. If you live on the West Coast or some other enclave infested with uptight Liberals have a good barbecue and a moment of prayer this weekend.
