Pope Francis arrived in Fatima, Portugal yesterday to commemorate the Centennial Anniversary of the celebrated appearances of Our Lady of Fatima. The Pope very humbly stated that he was on a pilgrimage, like all other Catholics, and so forwent most of the typical events associated with a state visit.
On May 13th, 1917 Mary first appeared to three shepherd children with several revelations and messages of hope and peace. The site is holy to Catholics and pilgrimages are made to Fatima regularly. The Centennial was naturally a special event.
Before his devotions, the Pope agreed to speak to a press delegation; mostly of European reporters. They asked him a variety of questions relating to Fatima's message, the mysterious 'Third Secret', ecumenical issues, and a very interesting exchange about the alleged apparitions at Medjugorje. But then NBC reporter Claudio Lavanga piped up on the subject with which Ameroboob Liberals are obsessed:
"Yesterday you asked the Faithful to break down barriers, yet on May 24th you meet a head of state (i.e. President Trump) who is threatening to build walls! It is a bit contradictory to your word, and he also has opinions different from yours on the need to confront global warming and the welcoming of migrants...In light of this meeting, what is your opinion of President Trump's policies and what do you really expect from a meeting with a head of state with opinions so radically different from yours?"
What an arrogant ass. Who else but the American Liberals would presume to lecture the Pope and turn a spiritual pilgrimage into a political diatribe? The Pope calmly, but firmly stated that he was more opposed to judging a person before hearing his side of the story. That rebuke only maddened Lavanga the more and this shamefully disrespectful exchange took place, marked by Lavanga's arrogant insanity and Francis' firmness:
Lavanga: "What do you think about his reception of immigrants?"
Pope Francis: "But all know my position---"
Lavanga interrupts, near white with rage: "Instead then, what do you expect from a meeting with a head of state who is contradictory to you?!?"
The Pope, no doubt recalling the meetings between Christ and the Pharisees, cleared his throat and gave a most manly and Christ-like answer:
"Always there are doors that are not closed. You should look for doors that are the least little-bit opened, enter, talk about common things and go on. Step by step. Peace is handcrafted. It is made every day. Also friendship among people, mutual knowledge, esteem is handcrafted. It's made every day. If you respect the other person, say what one thinks, but with respect, and walk together. That is the better way, isn't it?"
But Trump Derangement Syndrome, as we have seen is repelled by Christian moral teaching---which ought to give us all a clue as to its true origins. Lavanga was no exception:
"Do you really hope to soften his decisions with a meeting?" he snorted.
"That is a political calculation I do not permit myself to make." the Pope calmly replied.
The stunned foreign press entourage briefly recovered at Lavanga's outburst, and the moderator discreetly called on another reporter; probably saving Lavanga from being returned to Rome in a straitjacket in the process. The next reporter, a charming French woman, discussed with Francis his thoughts on a Catholic revival in France.
And the American Media wonders why everybody hates them.
Meanwhile, the same Corporate Media ignored Vice-President Pence's inauguration of the first International Summit in Defense of Persecuted Christians. The Summit brought together Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox leaders from 130 countries.
"On behalf of President Trump, I say that we're with you and we stand by you." Pence told the audience, "Each one of you bears witness to the power of Truth to transform lives."
Thus wherever Faith and Truth are present, the Liberal Media is conspicuously absent.
It should be no secret to anyone who's seen the last three administration's mishandling of the US Military that the Pentagon is another Swamp in desperate need of draining. Our dumbed-down, politically-corrected schools and 'inclusive' lowered recruiting standards have been taking their toll.
So General Mattis has begun a joint operation with British and Norwegian troops to "accustom Marines to fighting in the cold and snow". Apparently, until the Trump Administration nobody in the Pentagon thought that this might be a good idea.
The first rotation in Norway has proven an embarrassing failure. First, European trainers had to lead the few, the out and proud because qualified American trainers were unavailable. The grueling three weeks in the cold and snow deeply traumatized the Millennial generation. The pajama-boys took their frustrations out on the USMC Evaluation Team.
"That was an emotional experience for many people," Lt. Sean Gil, a platoon commander lamented to the Media, "The unit had just gotten off almost continuous field operations, suffering from certain shortcomings in the gear, and they felt like taking it out on the evaluators."
"Imagine walking through subzero temperatures and having your pack break!" huffed Sgt. Troy Hauck, "We had to use parachute cord and duct tape to fix them! It was not fun!"
Sgt. Nelson Avecedo fussed that 'Marines' boots often tore while trying to put on skis. "This could cause potential injury to the individual."
And so, our brave men and women in uniform retreated to their 'safe spaces' under considerable hooting and ridicule from NATO allies. And they don't even have porn to console them anymore. Nobody can argue that the Pentagon doesn't have its priorities, at least.
From this:
To this:
We've got a long way to go...
While the Corporate Media has been occupied in collective hysteria over the dismissal of FBI Director Comey, the Trump Administration announced today the conclusion of the largest gang crackdown in US history. In a six-week campaign, the Department of Homeland Security took nearly 1,400 Crips, Bloods, MS-13 and other dirtbags out of circulation.
General John Kelly, DHS Secretary announced that "this operation targeted gang members and associates involved in transnational criminal activity including drug trafficking, weapons smuggling, human smuggling and sex trafficking, murder and racketeering."
One has to wonder at this news: what exactly was the Obama Administration actually doing for the last eight years? This monumental operation took only six weeks to organize and execute. General Kelly goes on to describe what upstanding pillars of the community were taken in the dragnet:
"Of the 1,378 total arrested, 1,098 were arrested on federal/state criminal charges including 21 individuals arrested on murder-related charges and 7 for rape and sexual assault charges. The remaining 280 were arrested on immigration violations. Of the total arrested, 933 were US citizens and 445 were foreign nationals."
Kelly noted that some of those legal immigrants entered the country under Obama's DACA program.
Among the contraband seized by authorities were 238 firearms, 50 pounds of cocaine, 34 pounds of methamphetamine, 7 pounds of heroin, 502 pounds of marijuana, and about a half million dollars in currency. The leaders of the Tango Orejon Gang in San Antonio were among gang chieftains taken into custody as were two narcotics distribution leaders of the Crips in Newark. In San Diego, 23 gang leaders running a network of American and Mexican streets were apprehended and their operation broken up.
But the Corporate Media seems to have blacked out this entire story---even though it was publicized on the DHS website. Instead the public is being distracted with absurd conspiracy theories about the Comey firing. That includes Leftist wingnuts like Keith Olbermann, who was raving again yesterday that Trump is affecting a coup of some sort. Not a peep out of him though about the thousands of Scum who've been taken off the streets.
Police officials in Tennessee announced today they had arrested 35 year-old Wendi Wright on charges of felony reckless endangerment. According to WPSD-TV 6, Wright tailed and followed Representative David Kustoff and his aide as they were leaving a Town Hall Meeting at the local University of Tennessee branch.
Wright allegedly tried to force the Congressman off the road. Kustoff pulled into the driveway of a friend's home when Wright pulled in behind them, blocking them in. She came screaming out of the car, banging on Kustoff's vehicle, grasping at him through an open window and bellowing obscenities. Kustoff called police, but Wright escaped before their arrival. She was later arrested at her home after boasting of the deed on a Left-Wing social media site.
According to authorities, Wright was angry at Kustoff for his vote to repeal Obamacare.
At some point, there's going to have be a serious national dialogue addressing these kinds of outbursts because they are becoming all too frequent. It was reported yesterday that the FCC has been under a sustained troll attack since pundit John Oliver called for a protest over some proposed Net Neutrality policies. The extremist rhetoric coming out of people like Keith Olbermann and Stephan Colbert is clearly calculated to push unstable people like Wright into violent actions.
This is not to say, either, that the Far Right isn't guilty of doing the same things. We've documented numerous cases of their pundits inciting violence and other despicable acts. As Pope Francis said, the tongue is a dangerous weapon and can even be the most potent weapon in the hands of political terrorists.
In terms of social psychology, it's well-known that a certain percentage of the population---either through lack of education or psychological problems---are very susceptible to the influences of those they consider leaders. When they hear hyperbole they are bound to take it literally and act accordingly. This is why Codes of Professional Journalism in the past forbade language like that. In an even broader sense, these acts can encourage copycats---as we've seen with the increased number of attacks on police since the Dallas shooting last year. It can also lead to mob violence, and we've seen that in places like Berkeley and Portland recently.
What should happen via a national dialogue is for leaders in the Media to start policing themselves. Some media watchdog groups are doing that already; but their influence is very limited.
Some may object at this point that there's no proof that Wright's actions were motivated by media extremism. It may be so, but the fact that she posted this on social media suggests that she was seeking the same kind of validation in the same venues.
It's a complicated problem, because what we are seeing is the First Amendment being badly abused. This situation---if allowed to continue---cannot possibly have a positive outcome. The universal tendency of all governments (and ours is no exception) is to restrict freedom when it becomes a public nuisance. When the Right of Assembly constantly ends in destructive riots; the Right to Petition ends in troll acts; Freedom of Speech and Press ends in attacks on Congressmen and mass-shootings; then the Government will not only move to restrict freedoms but will do so with the full blessing of the general population. We've actually seen this historically happen during the US Civil War and both World Wars in America.
What has to be emphasized and exposed in public discourse is that the demagogues at both ends of the political spectrum actually desire that outcome. A government of either Red Pill or Antifa types is unlikely to be sympathetic to First Amendment liberties once in power itself. They actually would like nothing more than to force the Government's hand to restrict such freedoms (against their respective enemies, that is). Then they can also sit on their perches and claim that the Government has become a tyranny and needs to be overthrown.
Once people understand that these demagogues are simply using them for their own purposes, their power will largely be diminished without the need for restrictive new laws. But it's going to take leaders in the media and government to put aside partisanship and speak out from the bully-pulpit; because if they don't there may not be a pulpit to speak from.
Robert Fisher, a New Hampshire legislator who was recently exposed a ringleader of the vile Red Pill Sub-Reddit, is in trouble again. Since our last story on Fisher the New Hampshire Legislature has opened a bipartisan inquest into Fisher's activities which could potentially lead to his impeachment or official censure.
Fisher was exposed as the notorious 'pk_atheist', a Red Pill gadfly and founder of The Red Pill Sub-Reddit. TRP is one of the worst of the Cult's websites---advocating violence against women and male supremacy. Fisher argued both to the NH Legislature and in media interviews that he had formerly made some "injudicious' comments about women in the past, influenced by some bad experiences. He stated that in 2013, he turned over control of TRP to another fanatic called 'redpillschool'. This new administrator set up some new websites and was active in the Gamergate campaign of harassment and trolling. Fisher testified that he no longer holds the views of the Red Pill Cult.
Fisher is also squawking that he is the victim of a witch-hunt and fake-news. "You're looking to drag my name through the dirt." he huffed to local media recently, and vowed that he would be exonerated before the Legislature.
Unfortunately for Fisher, however, further investigative reporting reveals that 'pk_atheist' and 'redpillschool' are one and the same person. And that person happens to be Robert Fisher.
"This suggests that Fisher fabricated a passing of the torch; and indicates that as 'redpillschool' he has maintained control of the forum for the last four years, growing its followers to over 200,000, and dedicating 80 hours per week to the forum's upkeep." wrote Bonnie Bacarisse, whose research has now exposed Fisher twice.
Redpillschool has a track-record of even more injudicious comments than pk_atheist. If Fisher's views have really changed, they've become more---not less---radical than before. Rape fantasies figures largely into his writing: he once did a series All Women Lie About Rape.
"Every woman wants to be attractive enough to be raped." he opines, though he doesn't explain why so many elderly women and little girls are also rape victims. "It's like the pinnacle of male desire when he can't stop no matter what."
Fisher also denies that married women have a right to refuse sex and argues that women haven't the intellectual capacity of men. As recently as this weekend, he wrote praises to himself under his pseudonym for his fortitude in resisting "female vitriol".
When reading of Fisher's behavior, it must be remembered that fanatics do not operate by normal moral logic. To their minds, the ends always justify the means and adherence to ethical standards is a sign of weakness and inferiority. Thus such a character feels no shame in lying in front of the State Legislature if it answers the agenda of his cult. However, this new revelation is likely to bring Fisher face-to-face with reality when the Legislature convenes next week to decide his fate.
Luckily for the women residing in Fisher's district, New Hampshire is a strong 2nd Amendment state. With such predatory figures as Fisher running loose, it might not hurt to invest in some self-defense in case he or his disciples decide to put some of their theories into actual practice.
On Sunday, France elected a new president---a mainstream Conservative by French standards---by nearly a two-to-one margin over a Right-Wing candidate. Emmanuel Macron's victory would normally be interpreted as a positive development. Macron was denounced and protested by the radical Left and Antifa, who are currently carrying on with a 'Not My President' movement and Macron Derangement Syndrome of their own. The fact that both finalists for the French Presidency represented varying degrees of the Right shows that France is still a strongly traditionalist country and has finally rejected corrosive Cultural Marxism.
The US Corporate Media, however, is trying to spin this as a rejection of Trump-style populism---even though both in character and policy Macron is probably closer to Trump than Le Pen was. Both are wealthy businessmen who became president with no political experience; both had a broad appeal to the national working class; and both have a deep nationalist orientation. Macron gave a very Trump-like Acceptance Speech, stressing that national unity and healing must be a top priority; that the forgotten of France would be forgotten no more; and pledges to uphold law and order and to 'drain the swamp'.
The main difference between Macron and Le Pen really centered on France's future as a member of the European Union. Macron is a staunch supporter of the EU; and some pundits have concluded from this that he opposes French sovereignty. This remains to be seen; but Macron's victory gives France considerable leverage in the EU---if Macron seizes the opportunity and takes political advantage of it. The EU is dominated by Germany; but the potential that France might withdraw from the Union sent a wake-up call throughout Europe that France can't be taken for granted. Even German officials were forced to admit that BREXIT was survivable; but FREXIT would end the EU. Germany could push France around with the weak Hollande in power; but Macron may not be so easily handled.
Macron also has the advantage of a huge plurality of French citizens who favor FREXIT, so too much German bullying could easily get him to change course and bring the whole EU infrastructure. Thus, he has Germany over a barrel and since BREXIT, the Reich can't use Britain any longer to triangulate on France. If anyone doubts that France would do this, recall that President De Gaulle once withdrew France from NATO when he was fed up with American over-reaching. In spite of all its problems, France is still a world power.
What damaged Le Pen more than anything was her party's connections to foreign interests---something that the American Far-Right has also been implicated doing. Le Pen's party was tied to other parties in other countries; which calls into question just how much it really represents the interests of France. And Le Pen had plenty of support from the Red Pill/Alt-Right factions who were quick to denounce Macron as a cuckservative and a racial traitor.
Paul Ramsey: "France is like an SWJ girl who goes to Syria to combat 'Islamophobia' and ends up getting raped. At a certain point you just don't care."
Florian: "It's not just the obvious fact that Democracy is fruitless, but that the people are fools. You cannot trust them to make change."
Vox Day: "Macron will fail miserably of course, which is why I expect the National Front to come to power in the next election cycle."
Mike Cernovich: "The board is set; Europe will have violent civil war."
Andrew Anglin: "Macron's stunning victory no doubt confirms in the minds of Jews their most ardent belief: that the Goyim like being ruled over by them."
Based Stickman: "We've hit a ceiling with nationalism and democracy. The question is whether an extra-democratic resistance forms next, or whether the West dies silently."
White Millennial: "Don't be under the illusion that voting will save us. France is a time-bomb; the floodgates of Islamic terror remain open."
Sargon of Akkad: "France was the last chance and they decided to cuck for the Rothschilds."
Don't be THOSE guys. Democracy works and France is safe: in much better hands under Macron than under Hollande, certainly.
President Trump congratulated Macron on his victory and plans to meet with him at the upcoming NATO Summit this month.
On the 8th of May, 1945, WW2 on the European Front came to a decisive end. Nazi forces surrendered unconditionally to the US, UK, France, and Russia and resistance forces fighting in several other countries. In the Pacific Theatre, the war would continue through the Summer; with American, Chinese, and British forces leading the fight.
It's sad to realize that merely 2-3 generations later, most Ameroboobs are not only ignorant of WW2, but Naziism is actually making a comeback; attracting numerous radicalized and rootless young men. And it isn't simply Nazis or their variants; but Neo-Confederates, Anarchists, Communists, Jihadists---movements long thought dead and discredited---are gaining adherents as well. It is doubtful that at any time in American History have we seen so many anti-American movements on our soil at the same time.
The Nazis and their modern imitators have an especial and dangerous appeal for alienated young men. The Nazi tells these men that they and others like them are intentionally kept down by a corrupt system. There is actually partial truth in that; but the Nazi goes on to argue they themselves are the real elite; entitled to even greater powers than the corrupt Establishment wields. The Jews, they claim, envy White men and seek to destroy them by empowering minorities and women and thus degrading the culture. The corrupt Elites secretly work for the Jews---although where the Jews get all this money is never quite explained; nor why countries with hundreds of times the military power of Israel should submit to a country the size of New Jersey. But people who ask questions don't make good Nazis, which is another reason that the Nazi hates freedom.
In one fell swoop our hypothetical young man is thus transformed from an alienated, rootless youth to an Alpha Superman. Action for the sake of action; leadership through force and fear; the worship of success and force---all part of a Universal Brotherhood for which this young man now fights---replace ideals of law, liberty, morality, and religion; as FDR says above. Failures are excused as the fault of Jewish intrigue. They present to the young a rosy picture of the future:
Of course, they leave out the fact that in actual Nazi-run countries, sweet-looking children like those in the picture were taught in school to do things like inform on their parents and friends; beat up old people; to spit on priests and rob non-Aryans, etc. But that's beside the point to modern Nazis; because the important thing is that in their fantasies every stormtrooper is entitled to a pretty blonde wife; as Red Pill Andrew Anglin of The Daily Stormer explained yesterday:
"The fact that women are sexually aroused by rape and abuse is exceptionally difficult for a lot of men to process...the reason that White men shame other White men is that they themselves are incapable of dealing with the fact that their women are not the princesses they imagine them to be...
"All you have to do is look around you. In all likelihood, your own mother destroyed your life and the life of your father for no explainable reason. Your friends and family members have had their lives destroyed by women. You are told that 'somewhere out there' there are women who are different. You keep looking and you never find them...
"Women do not have moral concepts or ideologies. These are masculine concepts and all philosophers understand this. Given that women do not possess their own beliefs, they adopt the beliefs of those whom they consider their physical protectors. So, in our modern situation, women adopt the beliefs of the State. The way we will get women into our movement is by getting girlfriends for the men already in the movement. Not by trying to cater an ideological movement to women...as such the way to get women involved in our movement is very simple: create a movement of men who are desirable to women."
And how would Anglin achieve this? Just loop back to his first quote: "women are sexually aroused by rape and abuse."
The America of 1945 that the earlier Nazis sought to overthrow really looked a lot more like this:
American men back then didn't rape and abuse their women; they bought homes and worked to provide for their families. And they put on uniforms and went to war to defend their families against people like the Nazis.
Our Founding Fathers overthrew an arrogant aristocracy that presumed a birthright to rule over us as our lords and masters. They set up a system of laws where none need answer to a 'Master Race', a 'Supreme Leader', or 'The Party'. Granted, we haven't always been perfect, but our system is designed to make necessary reforms peacefully.
Alienated young men---and there are lots today---need to understand this. There is no quick and easy way to reform: it takes effort; a belief in oneself, and Faith in God. Here was the effort Americans spent between 1941 and 1945 to defend the United States:
407,316 killed or missing
671,846 critically injured
130,201 captured and usually tortured
12,100 civilians killed incidental to the war.
About 20% of American men were in the military during this period. Yes, things are difficult for men today, but we've come through hard times before, and we can again.
