Burke and Hare and Cecile Richards

Entrepreneurs Burke and Hare conducting business

Once upon a time in Edinburgh, not too long ago, Mr Burke and Mr Hare ran a thriving business. They would dig up the graves of the newly dead in the town and sell the reasonably fresh corpses to local doctors for purposes of study and teaching.  They made lots of money, the doctors were pleased and the living relatives of the dug-up bodies would cry over the desecrations.

But every once in awhile, not enough people were conveniently dying, and this caused a deficit in the Burke and Hare enterprise.  So in order to keep the profits rolling in they decided to "create" their own corpses...by murdering a few unwary souls.  They "Burked" them, so to speak.

The fabled Dr Knox was perhaps their best customer.  The prices he paid were so high that it provided inspiration to Messrs Burke and Hare to sally forth and procure for him only the freshest of dead bodies.

It was a lucrative business for all concerned.(except the murder victims).

But at last the long arm of the law found out about the scheme and those responsible were dealt with by the magistrates.

That's how it was in Edinburgh in the 1820s.  But in Washington, DC in 2015 Mr Burke and Mr Hare would not be prosecuted for murdering people and selling their bodies (or body parts); instead they would be given millions of taxpayer dollars to continue their business, and their protectors in Washington would attempt to prosecute anyone who would object to their enterprise. Had they been alive today they would have found a new and comfortable home....at Cecile Richards' Planned Parenthood.

Poor Mr Burke and Mr Hare.  It was just their bad luck that they were born several generations too early.

Boris Karloff as "The Body Snatcher"

That September 11, 2001Thing

Though being somewhat sick of hearing about the September 11th Great Blowback I must share an amusing comment by one Mr Bill Jones over at Unz Review, in which he humorously chides author Philip Giraldi who seems to accept at more or less face value the approved story of what happened on that day.

Take it away, Mr Jones:

The Official Version of 9/11 goes something like this…

Directed by a beardy-guy from a cave in Afghanistan, nineteen hard-drinking, coke-snorting, devout Muslims enjoy lap dances before their mission to meet Allah…

Using nothing more than craft knifes, they overpower cabin crew, passengers and pilots on four planes…

And hangover or not, they manage to give the world’s most sophisticated air defense system the slip…

Unphased by leaving their “How to Fly a Passenger Jet” guide in the car at the airport, they master the controls in no-time and score direct hits on two towers, causing THREE to collapse completely…

Our masterminds even manage to overpower the odd law of physics or two… and the world watches in awe as steel-framed buildings fall symmetrically – through their own mass – at free-fall speed, for the first time in history.

Despite all their dastardly cunning, they stupidly give their identity away by using explosion-proof passports, which survive the fireball undamaged and fall to the ground… only to be discovered by the incredible crime-fighting sleuths at the FBI…

…Meanwhile down in Washington…

Hani Hanjour, having previously flunked 2-man Cessna flying school, gets carried away with all the success of the day and suddenly finds incredible abilities behind the controls of a Boeing…

Instead of flying straight down into the large roof area of the Pentagon, he decides to show off a little…

Executing an incredible 270 degree downward spiral, he levels off to hit the low facade of the world’s most heavily defended building…

…all without a single shot being fired…. or ruining the nicely mowed lawn… and all at a speed just too fast to capture on video…

…Later, in the skies above Pennsylvania…

So desperate to talk to loved ones before their death, some passengers use sheer willpower to connect mobile calls that otherwise would not be possible until several years later…

And following a heroic attempt by some to retake control of Flight 93, it crashes into a Shankesville field leaving no trace of engines, fuselage or occupants… except for the standard issue Muslim terrorists bandana…

…Further south in Florida…

President Bush, our brave Commander-in-Chief continues to read “My Pet Goat” to a class full of primary school children… shrugging off the obvious possibility that his life could be in imminent danger…

…In New York…

World Trade Center leaseholder Larry Silverstein blesses his own foresight in insuring the buildings against terrorist attack only six weeks previously…

While back in Washington, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and Paul Wolfowitz shake their heads in disbelief at their own luck in getting the ‘New Pearl Harbor’ catalyzing event they so desired to pursue their agenda of world domination…

And finally, not to be disturbed too much by reports of their own deaths, at least seven of our nineteen suicide hijackers turn up alive and kicking in mainstream media reports…

And if you don’t believe that, you’re a “conspiracy theorist”

Walter Kasper, in his own words

"The God who is enthroned over the world and history as a changeless being is an offence to man. One must deny him for man’s sake, because he claims for himself the dignity and honour that belong by right to man…. We must resist this God, however, not only for man’s sake, but also for God’s sake. He is not the true God at all, but rather a wretched idol. For a God who is only alongside of and above history, who is not himself history, is a finite God. If we call such a being God, then for the sake of the Absolute we must become absolute atheists. Such a God springs from a rigid worldview; he is the guarantor of the status quo and the enemy of the new."

Walter Kasper “Gott in der Geschichte”, Gott heute: 15 Beiträge zur Gottesfrage, (Mainz 1967)

Thus spake Walter Kasper.  Read it carefully. Most especially, the first sentence.

You could, with a lot of imagination and a lot of mental gymnastics, suggest that he is trying to find a more accessible (for him) God than the one we have.  But consider:  to make such statements seems to average minds like my own objectively blasphemous.  Who would speak of God in so humanistic a manner?  The "old" God Kasper wishes to do away with "claims for himself the dignity and honor that belong by right to man"?  I believe that in that one phrase we find the vital secret that unlocks the mind of Kasper; it sounds very similar to what Adam and Eve heard in the Garden from a visiting reptile.

 " ...your eyes shall be opened: and you shall be as Gods, knowing good and evil."

Other websites have alluded to this famous Kasper remark; I am republishing it because I believe we need to keep it in mind any time we read about this man.  Yes, men can change.  They can wake up.  They can realize the terrible things done or said in the past and try to make amends for them.

But Kasper isn't making any amends if his wheezings and lies at the Synod and afterwards are any indication.

The Unbearable Stink of Mitch McConnell

As an ongoing reminder to readers who still believe that the Republicans are the conservative Party, and that they are defenders of the unborn, the moral leaders, the great tax-cutters, etc., we present the following article on how Republican leaders just got together to save Planned Parenthood:

http://www.politico.com/story/2015/07/senate-obamacare-repeal-ted-cruz-mike-lee-120637.html?hp=t3_r

Mitch McConnell worked with Democratic hack Harry Ried to make sure that the ghouls of Planned Parenthood would continue to receive US taxpayer money for their murder racket.  Mitch McConell saved Planned Parenthood, even as our Justice (sic) Department begins to investigate the brave souls who exposed their criminal activity.

Pro-lifers: do you still want to support these people?  Do you really, truly believe the Republicans, the party of war and Wall Street and buggery and baby murder, are your friends?

Soldiers: do you still want to fight for such an insane, corrupt government?  Do you want your arms and legs blown off, your minds wrecked and your life ruined fighting for such a regime, so that two sex perverts can crush normal peoples lives and little children can be butchered and their body parts sold to the highest bidder?

Is it not long past time to put away our grade school US history books and face the present reality.

Abortion and Sodomy, the twin symbols of America today.

I want to vomit.

Tokyo Rose is back in the news

The geriatric Righter of All Wrongs is bellowing again very loudly at some mildly critical remarks made about him by Donald Trump.  (Instead of, as McCain demands, Trump owing POWs an apology I believe it should be Mr McCain to be the one offering apologies to POWs.)

Before anyone takes a firm side on this question I recommend the following article by Ron Unz over at Unz Review:

http://www.unz.com/runz/american-pravda-when-tokyo-rose-ran-for-president/

A sample:

[The recent remarks of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump have triggered a political media firestorm regarding the Vietnam War record of Sen. John McCain, resulting in a surge of renewed traffic to my "Tokyo Rose" piece, which I am now republishing below.

An even greater flood of attention has gone to Sydney Schanberg's original 8,000 word article, which I had published as a cover story for The American Conservative several years ago. I urge people to read that remarkable expose.

As a Pulitzer Prize winning former top editor at The New York Times, there are few living Americans who can match Schanberg's journalistic authority in this subject, and the fact that our entire American media has spent years entirely ignoring the explosive and massively-documented charges of one of its most distinguished members demonstrates to all of us that we are indeed living in the world of "American Pravda." I also include a link to my own discussion of Schanberg's remarkable findings]

The Republicans have a Brain Trust. No, really.

I post this photo especially for Republicans, once the Great Whig Party.  I'd make it larger only it would blot out everything on my blog.

Dr Boyd Cathey, one of this blog's favorite Catholic writers, has explored the depths of the Republican Party.

I don't envy him the privilege.

But if you want to know how these people think, and how they get to where they are, I recommend Cathey's latest over at the Unz Review:  http://www.unz.com/article/first-the-battle-flag-then-what-remains/

The author describes the"brain trust", aka the back room boys, who keep the Republicans weak, useless and stupid (though when we view people like Tom Cotton or Scott Walker we see that they are not necessarily in need of lessons in stupidity).

A taste:

For some time, I have been documenting this situation in what passes for the American “conservative movement”: recently the managing editor of National Review,came out for same sex marriage(Jason Lee Steorts, “An Equal Chance at Love: Why We Should Recognize Same Sex Marriage,” May 19, 2015,” ); major leaders of the College Republicans have also endorsed it and warned GOP candidates not to oppose it (“Study finds 61% of young Republicans support same-sex marriage,”); on Fox News, the leading Neocon media organ in the nation along with The Wall Street Journal, Jonah Goldberg, Steve Hayes, and former Marxist Charles Krauthammer (again, how much Marxism has actually left him?) have endorsed same sex marriage, and George Will literally has been orgasmic about it (no pun necessarily intended). They may not agree with the unconstitutional means of achieving it, but they have no qualms with the end result.

The Supremes Think They've Killed States Rights

Something is rumbling in the hinterlands.

From Kirkpatrick Sale:

The principle of states’ rights, which has lived on for the last 150 years as a noble, though often sickly, memory of the Founding Fathers’ intentions, was dealt its final, fatal blow by the Supreme Court’s same-sex marriage decision last month.

Thirty-one states banned same-sex marriages between 2000 and 2012, responding presumably to the wishes of their populations, and they were easily a majority of Americans.  Those bans are now overturned and the will of the people in those states is now thwarted.  States do not have rights that a liberal majority of nine non-elected judges declares they should not.

Justice Scalia realized immediately what the majority was doing: its decision “robs the People of the most important liberty they asserted in the Declaration of Independence and won in the Revolution of 1776: the freedom to govern themselves.”  The People made the mistake of governing themselves against the will of five wily Ivy League lawyers who believed that homosexual marriages were good, and justified by the 14th Amendment.  They had to be set straight.

The Great Ozama Has Spoken

The Great Ozama:

You WILL change your religious views on buggery.

And it IS ok to rip up unborn children and sell their body parts.

The peons:

"Yes sir, Mr President, sir!  We'll get right on that.  Is there anything else you would like us to think, Mr President?  Please, please tell us so we can think correctly, the way you want us to.  Thank you for being you, Mr Oz...er, I mean Obama."

The Synod Gnomes have been very busy....

....in the past months.  I wonder how busy we have been?  I must ask myself how busy I have been.

They - meaning the Modernist Radicals - have been keeping their eye on the ball and doing Herculean work preparing for the October catastrophe-in-waiting, for it will be a catastrophe if they are successful.  Do not fault these people for lack of candor; they are quite bold about saying what they want even if at times they have to be a bit secretive. Do not fault them for lack of industry. They prepare well and follow through. They are not amateurs. They have realized that what worked so brilliantly in the past to advance Modernism will work well once more.  The fabled "pastoral approach" worked wonders at the pastoral Vatican II Council. The Kaspers, Bonnys, Marxes et all are not slow to learn.  No doctrines were changed at that unnecessary Council, but it was eminently pastoral and, as such, has been a disaster for the Faith..

 It was the masterstroke of "pastoralism": while not directly denying any dogmas nevertheless the liberals pastoralized whatever dogmatic touches the Council documents had pretty much out of existence.

Here is a short list of the pastoral initiatives that emerged after Pastoral Vatican II (and I do hope to be spared the efforts to explain that the Council was badly interpreted.  It's documents were deliberately shrouded in ambiguous phrases so that it could be interpreted any way at all, depending upon the temperament of who was doing the interpreting).

1.  Public Eucharistic devotion has more or less disappeared.
2.  Catholics accept contraception, abortion and sodomy in large numbers.
3.  Passing along the Faith has vanished almost overnight.
4.  The exquisite Ancient Rite Mass was virtually abolished and replaced with an unfunny parody of it.
5.  Mass attendance has plummeted (who can blame them?)
6.  Catholics aren't having large families anymore.  Some aren't having any families.  Some aren't even bothering with matrimony.
7.  Confessionals are covered in dust.
8.  Catholic schools are closing.
9.  Catholic churches are closing, being sold and/or demolished.
10. A homosexual infestation has been bankrupting the Church, bringing in its wake ruined lives, opprobrium and ridicule upon the True Faith, and has been instrumental in advancing the destruction of nations.

I needn't go on.  Those are some of the fruits of Vatican II and its pastoral approach.  This is the approach being touted by the Synod Villains.

Having been so successful in bringing corruption to a vibrant Faith the Synod radical Modernists are using that same approach again.  If it worked once it will work again.

Some blogs and websites have been doing valiant, yeomen work on the Synod, pounding away at the actors who are working diligently to bring their twisted views into the mainstream of the Church. I commend these sites, like The War Against Being (see their call to action at the sidebar), Vox Cantoris, Restore-DC- Catholicism, The Deus Ex Machina Blog and many, many others.  God bless them for their efforts.  They are an inspiration.

They have inspired the editor of this blog, too.  Taking a leaf from the book of the gnomes who are busy preparing for the next disaster for Catholicism we will do what we can do, such as it is.  We will laud and encourage the good Bishops and priests who are fighting the noble fight, like the Athanasius Schneiders, the Bechara Rais and others who have shown they still have backbones. And we will continue to speak out, name names and dissect the clerical traitors and nincompoops who are preparing the final shipwreck.

We still have time.

The Iran Follies

Whew!  What a relief.  Iran has finally agreed to stop doing what it was never doing in the first place. As the Iran comedy circus goes on simple facts must never get in the way of a good round of rabble-rousing and fear mongering. As usual, America the Wonderful has saved the world from yet another non-existent threat.

Patrick Foy explains:

• 
  
• 
  

Am I laughing. As Peace Prize Obama lectures us and the Republicans and Neocons have a cow, maybe we should pause to contemplate the full fraudulent spectacle in progress and analyze what we are being told about the just-concluded nuclear negotiations with Iran.

First of all, I’ve been wondering what in the world the phalanx of negotiators could possibly have been talking about behind closed doors all these many months, busting through multiple deadlines, in view of the fact that Iran possesses no nukes and has no nuclear weapons program, is a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency, and that Iran’s Mullah leadership has denounced and outlawed nuclear weapons from day one.

In the second place, it is amazing that any deal at all was arrived at, since Obama & Company, following in the footsteps of Bush and Clinton, has allowed the incredible demonization of Iran to go unchecked and unchallenged. The demonization continues and may yet blow up the agreement on Capitol Hill.

Both the Grand Ayatollah Khomeini (who ignited a revolution which terminated the Pahlavi dynasty in 1979) and the current supreme leader, the Grand Ayatollah Hosseini Khamenei, issued Fatwas which prohibit the manufacture and/or use of nuclear weapons by Iran.

On top of that, the U.S. intelligence community has itself informed the White House, the U.S. Senate, and the Congress of the non-existence of an Iranian nuclear weapons program in no uncertain terms in 2007.  These conclusions were reiterated in 2011. The information was contained in National Intelligence Estimates compiled by Washington’s 16 intelligence agencies.

Read the rest of the article here:http://www.counterpunch.org/2015/07/17/the-iran-nuclear-straw-man/

What isn't mentioned here is the blustering of the Israelis who also know perfectly well Iran has no nuclear weapons program and has known it from day one thanks to their own intelligence agencies. But the blustering goes on.

Now we know why.

Hang on to your wallets, Americans, because Obama and Co. are rushing over to Tel Aviv to "reassure" Mr Netanyahu that all is well.  How will he reassure him?  By giving him zillions of American tax dollars and weaponry, gratis.

I guess the real winner, again, is the war criminal in Tel Aviv.

Walter Kasper's Mission

For those who have not as yet seen Edward Pentin's interview with Professor Thomas Heinrich Stark you must do so if you want to grasp what Walter Kasper, and others like him, are about.

http://www.ncregister.com/daily-news/understanding-cardinal-walter-kasper

This blog has in the past labelled the man a pure Modernist, and the Eye Witness is not the only one to have done so.  But we stress the point again and again because that is the crux of the whole matter, the triumph of Modernism which has been making gigantic strides under nearly every pontificate that came after St Pius X but of course exploded with the Second Vatican Council, a Modernist's dream come true.

I say "almost every pontificate" and that, unhappily, is the bitter truth.  Neither Pius XI nor Pius XII were immune from its baleful influence.  Despite the good projects that emerged from those two Popes it cannot be gainsaid that they did indeed advance Modernism in one way or another, either by an awkward phrase here, a lack of action there, a poor appointment or an important initiative left undone.  As personally good and holy as these men no doubt were it was under their watches that Modernism creeped along at an alarmingly quickened pace.  And now we are face to face with the dreadful dead end of this "synthesis of all heresies".

Professor Stark makes some shrewd observations about the strange mind that inhabits the head of Walter Kasper.

I have said several times, “As far as I understand him,” because the problem with this sort of theology is that it is difficult to understand, not because one has to be very intelligent to understand it, but because it is not coherent, in my opinion. And one can only figure it out if one understands the language they use. I mean, it’s not only Kasper; it’s very many people of influence in modern theology. If one reads this language carefully, one can easily see an admixture of imitating [Martin] Heidegger and the influence of Existentialism, some pieces from [Emmanuel] Kant and [Georg Wilhelm Friedrich] Hegel, which are read into Thomas Aquinas. They read Thomas through the lens of Hegel and Kant, which simply cannot be done, in my opinion. And they mix up various philosophical positions that really can’t be put together in a coherent, logical way.

The way they attempt to intertwine all of their theories forms a sort of pseudo-dialectic that is not really logical and coherent, and they put it in such a way as to provide an opportunity to get away with novel theories without being under the critical view of the magisterium, because they can always shift to the right and then to the left, as need be.

It is a fine example of the studied incoherence practiced by Kasper and too many others.  Polished ambiguity, a recourse to obfuscation and a determination at all costs to avoid clarity are the hallmarks of men like Kasper.  If not met head-on by rational thinkers and simple Catholics it will decimate the Church.

Mr Pentin asks the Professor if he believes that the Kasper line of thinking can lead to apostasy.

Well, this is a strong word, but I certainly fail to understand how this line of thinking does not lead to apostasy, at least objectively speaking.

What else can I think of someone who writes that dogmas can essentially become outdated and pointless or that they even can be stupid? And yet this is what I was quoting just today. Or somebody who says, “Well, one of the effects of historicism,” which he openly accepts, “is that ancient holy Scriptures or texts lose their validity”?

I don’t know what people who say things like this really believe, but in my opinion, what they believe is not what a Catholic believes. I mean, I’m really sorry to say that, and I hasten to add that when I started to write my lecture, I was very careful to give every benefit of the doubt. I really tried to approach the work of Kasper in a neutral way, because I have every desire to understand him. But when I got deeper into his thought, I was confronted with a system, if there is one, and with ideas that are so shocking that I really can’t see how somebody who is arguing — who is talking in that way — can still be considered a Catholic.

I’m really very sorry to have to say this, but this is the only conclusion I can draw; and it is based, not only on my suppositions, but on Kasper’s own words.

That is clear enough.

UK: Oppose Sex Perversion? You are an ISIS-like Extremist

Great Britain has some news for those who try to stop the Sodomy Train: You are extremists like ISIS.

Mrs. Nicky Morgan, the UK’s Education Secretary, has recently said that a child that expresses negative views about homosexuality is at a risk of becoming an extremist. Apparently, the aim of the new guidelines the government is about to impose on schools is to root out ISIS-style extremism from educational establishments. However, as it is often the case, the new rules will likely be used to attack Christian schools and subject Christian believers and their families to tough sanctions.


My poor, sad England, once Our Lady's Dowry.

Use this little news item as a preview of coming attractions in the Benighted States of America.

Read about it here:  http://russia-insider.com/en/uk-establishment-lectures-russia-freedom-while-persecuting-christians/ri8602

There is not much else to be said about this other than proffer the question which asks, how long will people take this trampling upon sanity before there is finally a reaction.  Will people of all races, nationalities and religions at last unite in opposition to this lunacy?  It is an interesting question. Events do seem to be coalescing into some sort of major confrontation between the worldwide powers of chaos and those who may just about have had enough.  As I watch international events from one little corner of the world I note  the people and nations who promote this chaos, and I note those who are rejecting it.  We know, or should know, that all wars are religious, whether those wars are fought with guns or whether they are fought in the culture. Christianity in general and Catholicism in particular are, of course, the main targets in this war. Like their Jacobin and revolutionary forefathers the Masters of Chaos must "crush the wretch", the "wretch" being the entire Catholic idea.

A pity Catholicism is so poorly served by so many clerics high and low.  When they aren't being embarrassing or wearing their mediocrity on their sleeves (or wearing their masonic aprons under their cassocks) they are sowing confusion and despair throughout the entire Church.  Fathers who vex their children so outrageously will pay for this when they meet God face to face.

Our Pope has recently done the apology bit again, taking up where John Paul II began.  When you begin to realize that he is in effect apologizing for his Holy Mother - yes, his Mother - for having saved the people of South America from devil-worshippers, you begin to understand that here is a man sorely in need of prayers, not to mention some elementary history.  In heaping scorn upon his Holy Mother this way and resurrecting the old, debunked Black Legend against Spain he has disastrously strengthened the powers of chaos.

These powers, as we see in the news report from England, are fully prepared to bring on a major persecution.

Francis has much to answer for.  One hopes he realizes this.

Ezra Kaplan thinks it's a pretty good time to nuke Russia

https://news.vice.com/article/now-would-be-a-pretty-good-time-to-launch-a-nuclear-attack-on-russia

Thanks, Ezra, for that helpful suggestion.

I would like to ask, though: do you speak only for yourself or for your co-religionists as well?

Does the incineration of several million men, women and children weigh terribly heavily on your conscience?

Could you possibly explain to us why you think Russia should be reduced to ashes just now?  I note that you wrote gushing articles over at US News and World Report about the recent "Supreme Court" decree decision to impose sodomy on America.  Might that have something to do with your animus against a nation that isn't imposing sodomy?

Are you a homosexual - or shouldn't I ask??

May I offer you a suggestion, Ezra?

Go to Hell, and take your revenge fantasies with you.

Somebody pinch me, please.....

....I want to see if I'm awake.  The UN has just come up with a pro-family resolution.

The UN?

LifeSite News has the dope on it:

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/un-passes-unprecedented-pro-family-resolution-outraging-sexual-radicals

The usual suspects, like America, were adamantly opposed to this, of course.  But so was Ireland.

Yes, Ireland.


The voting on the “Protection of the Family” resolution was 27 for and 14 against, Slater noted. Those opposing the motion included the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland and other Western European countries, while its sponsors included Russia, China, Belarus, and more than a dozen Muslim and African countries. The four abstaining members of the council—Brazil, Mexico, Argentina and Macedonia—probably were forced to do so by the rich countries opposing the bill.


Even more surprising is the presence of a country not particularly noted for human rights, or the protection of unborn children, China.  I have no explanation for that one.  Maybe a reader can figure it out.  The other opposing countries, like the African nations, Russia and a number of Muslim countries, have a longer history of supporting the family at the UN so their pro-natural family stance was not surprising.

Interesting.

Wall Street Blues

Hank Greenberg, a  poor, beleaguered businessman

In Norway men like Mr Greenberg (see link) would be in jail for financial crimes.  But the US government has taken our money to bail him and others like him out, even as he sits upon a multi-million dollar personal fortune.

Now with the chutzpah so characteristic of his class he would like more billions of our tax dollars.

Yes, he really does:

USA To Poland: Let's You and Them Fight

I am beginning to believe that the nation of Poland should be put on a suicide watch.  Not only are they allowing US military and equipment into their country, and allowing the US some black sites for little exercises in torture, but they are practicing war games with the US in anticipation of a fight with Russia, a country so large it encompasses eleven time zones.

What the US is saying to Poland is simply this: you let us fire our missiles at Russia and when Russia fires back and destroys much of Poland we will be safely ensconced in our bunkers in Nevada.  The retaliatory strikes that Russia makes will undoubtedly be aimed at the location of the Missile launchings, which is in Poland.  I wonder if the Polish people realize what their government is setting them up for.

Recently Poland elected a new president, Mr Duda, who seems to be a good man but who also seems to be another European politician in thrall to the US and NATO (or do I repeat myself?)  True, as has been noted many times by many sources the USA bribes European politicians with American tax dollars to do its bidding and leaders in France, Germany, Latvia, Britain, Spain among others, because of those bribes, happily acquiesce to whatever demands the US might make of them, even, it appears, to the point of committing national suicide.  The sanctions game is just one example of Europeans shooting themselves in the foot to make Uncle Sam happy, but allowing themselves to be hit with retaliatory fire power from Russia is just breathtaking.  How much money does it take to make a Merkel, or a Hollande, or Poland agree to such a thing?

Dear people of Poland, resist this insanity.  And take your country back.  The crazed loons who run US foreign policy seem hell-bent on fighting with Russia and think nothing of seeing your country and others ravaged by destruction, some of it very possibly nuclear.  Put your past hatreds of Russia away at least for awhile. Remember, it is not Russia pushing sodomy, sex perversion and financial destruction on your country. America is doing that.

Disentangle your beautiful country and your people away from this dangerous strategic alliance with an unstable partner and go your own way in the world, glorying in the Catholic Faith you hold so dear and that your US "ally" detests with the passionate hatred of the Pit.

Chief Rabbi Attends Farewell Dinner for Adolph Hitler

In yet another demonstration of his unsuitability for the cloth he wears Cardinal Dolan at a recent meeting of the openly and proudly anti-Catholic coven known as the Anti Defamation League is seen hugging and making nice with one of the more notable persecutors of the Church, one Abe Foxman.

Famous comedian (l), anti Catholic monster (c), Obama stooge (r).  Notice how the comedian attempts to look cool and hip.

Abe Foxman is without question one of the world's great lost souls, and most proud of it. Rejecting his Baptism into the Faith by a family that saved him from a life of misery he has gone on to be a sly and brilliant persecutor of the Church (Candida Moss, late of Tooting-on-the-Thames, England, notwithstanding).  He enjoys watching weaklings squirm under his gaze, like the organizers of the Oberammergau Passion Play, who withered under his considerable pressure and turned the Play into a celebration of Jewish power instead of a depiction of Christ's sufferings.  He has used his power, money and connections to humiliate the Church, drive the Church from the public square and agitate for the foulest crimes against morality imaginable, one of the most successful being the exaltation of public sodomy.  Proud parent of a son who entered marital bliss with another man (by the way, Abe, which one is the groom and which one is the bride??) Mr Foxman has not been shy about his happiness over his accomplishments, now enshrined in something called a "law" dictated by five very fallible employees of the Federal government headed by Anthony Kennedy and his crew of apostate Catholics, Jews and lesbians.

Quoth Dolan at the gala Foxman affair:

“Yes, I’m jealous you seem to have a lot more access to the pope than I do,” said Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the archbishop of New York.

 (Oh, dear; did I read that right?)

With such an agenda one might think a Catholic would shrink from being asked to even shake the hand of such a creature.  Not Laughing Timothy Dolan.  Oh no.  The Church's Clown Prince embraces his persecutor and his master, all smiles and corny jokes, grovelling and toadying as only he knows how.  I'm trying to imagine Berlin's Chief Rabbi attending a congratulatory dinner for Adolph Hitler, for that is what we have here when a Cardinal of the Catholic Church drools at the feet of a sworn enemy of Catholicism.

Pray for Abe Foxman.

Pray for Timothy Dolan.

Take Down This Flag.

My Congratulations to Archbishop Jerome Listecki

This blog has not been shy in calling on the carpet cowardly Bishops, do-gooder Bishops and out and out villainous Bishops, and it has not been shy in criticizing Jerome Listecki, my Bishop.

But credit must in justice be given where credit is due, and Archbishop Listecki has made a courageous public statement about the latest debacle which emerged from the despotism in Washington.  Our thanks to the Badger Catholic blog for bringing it to our attention.

A quote:

We will not be assuaged from what the Church teaches and I believe it calls for even greater courage in the face of this rejection of truth. Ever the social critic, Cardinal Francis George may be right when he said that he will die in his bed, his successor will die in jail and the one who follows his successor will die a martyr in the public square. He envisioned the social upheaval in our society as a mounting persecution of the Church. I will willingly wear the orange jumpsuit, if it means standing up for the truth and the Catholic faith.

Thank you, Your Excellency.

Now the fight has begun in earnest, and we will be with you.
