Post-apartheid South Africa

Since the end of dreaded "white rule" in South Africa things haven't necessarily improved.

This is, alas, nothing new for these horrible attacks on nuns (such as those in the Belgian Congo some years back) can only happen when there is no wall between the civilized and the savage.  A hard saying, yes, but realities are realities.  It is also worth noting that these kinds of unspeakable crimes are occurring with greater regularity in an increasingly dystopian America, where the race of the perpetrator and the race of the victim are exactly similar. (For example, here is a story of a bored teenager who decided to kill somebody, because he was, well....bored: http://www.kmov.com/story/28845083/bored-oklahoma-teen-convicted-in-random-thrill-kill)

The whole recent history of how South Africa has slowly been relapsing into barbarism is not a pretty sight.  This relapse was well-chronicled by the late Ivor Benson, a resident of that land, who saw it all as it was happening and predicted that things like this would happen with more frequency.  Many of his articles were published in Hamish Fraser's periodical, Approaches. Not surprisingly, few would listen to his warnings in their hysterical mad rush to end apartheid.  Indeed he was showered with the usual epithets for mentioning inconvenient facts that escaped the notice of the mainstream media.

Pray for the soul of Sister Gertrud.

The Purchase of Presidential Candidates

King maker Sheldon Adelson

This is "same old, same old" to veteran observers of how politics really work, and how candidates are really selected, but for those of you who would like to be informed how presidential candidates are bought and sold, and who when elected always do the bidding of those who fund them, here is an excellent analysis of how the game works.

This has been going on for a long, long time.  The article serves as a timely reminder of the near-futility of becoming excited by a presidential race.

It also neatly explains why nothing ever changes and the country we live in goes from calamity to degradation to worse.  A pity our school history books never discussed this.

(FWIW: the mega-billionaire donor in question - pictured above - is also a key supporter of the movement to legitimize sodomy.)

God Bless her!

A woman finds out her son is among the lawless rioters and looters in Baltimore - and takes action.

She gets my vote for "Mom of the Year".

UPDATE 4/29/15
Apparently this amusing video was taken down due to, ahem, "copyright" issues.  Of course that has never been a problem before when showing, say, police retaliating after having been attacked by mobs/  I guess when something shows up that doesn't fit the mainstream media's playbook it must disappear.

If we can find another version of this we will post it.  In any case, kudos to the black Mom who beat the stuffings out of her thuggish son for participating in this media-induced nonsense.

The Charm of God

This rather charming story of a herd of elephants who pay their last respects to a man who protected them is a needed antidote to the usual depressing news.

Compassion, it seems, can even sometimes be found in the animal kingdom.

Dear Churchmen, do not worry

The stench of sodomy is destroying the Church from the lowest pew to the Vatican.  Countless souls are going to hell because of this vice, a vice so awful that even the Devil, having tempted men into committing this mortal sin, looks away in disgust.  Unless these poor, wretched souls confess and receive absolution and amend their lives they will be eternally damned.

There, Your Excellencies, Your Holinessses, Reverend Fathers, we've said it now so you don't have to.  Now you can go back to what you were doing and not have to worry any longer about preaching against this vice. You can continue with your photo-ops, your meetings with the high and the mighty, you can revel in all the good press you will receive from the media and sodomite-friendly presidents, and you don't need to be bothered with telling anyone they are living in a state of mortal sin.

We'll do that for you.  We laymen, writers, bloggers, people in the pew...we'll relieve you of your duty to teach since you apparently aren't terribly interested in doing so.  Don't preach sermons telling Catholics that contraception, abortion and sodomy are destroying souls and destroying countries. That's not your job.  Your job is to train altar girls, and make sure we're all participating at what you call a Mass and things like that.

We'll take the hits, the lawsuits, the persecutions, the destruction of our livelihoods (perhaps even our lives, I guess) the opprobrium of the media and everyone else.  We bakers and photographers will see our businesses ruined, our reputations torn to shreds, our bank accounts disappear simply for the pleasure of relieving you of the burden to teach faith and morals.  And you don't even have to visit us in jail if you don't want to.

We'll watch our own churches shun us, or former Catholic friends abandon us and our pastors studiously ignore us.  We accept this because we know you don't wish to get your hands dirty by teaching the Faith. You can continue to golf, go to the movies, sit on your thrones, smell your sheep, get interviewed on TV, receive the goodwill of impostors, heretics, blasphemers and haters of Christ.  Don't worry; we'll do your fighting for you.

You have more important things to do.  You have to scurry to Rome and share a glass of wine with the cowards who connive with our oppressors.  You have to worry about the environment, about saying anything Christ-like that might offend rabbis or Hindus (Heaven forbid that you try to convert them!), There are meetings with Happy Clubs and Happy Organizations you must address.  You must extol diversity and Welcoming.  This is what you must do.

So please don't trouble yourselves about having anything to do with Catholicism.  Continue to sit on your collective rumps and enjoy the cheers of the crowd.

Because, as I said, I guess we'll have to do your job for you.

Gates and Rockefeller, Masters of Eugenics

The poor get poorer and the rich get richer...and they kill people.

Another fascinating report from William Engdahl on what Bill Gates and David Rockefeller have been up to recently.

From the article:

"Eugenics was a fraudulent social theory that a “better society” could be created by eliminating “undesirable” human blood lines and promoting the desirable types like those of Rockefellers or DuPonts or their likes. To the present day eugenics is the guiding ideology of the very rich, loveless American oligarchs including Bill Gates and David Rockefeller. To this day the major financial backers of the criminal activities of the UN WHO (World Health Organization) and their fraudulent swine flu pandemic scares are the Rockefeller Foundation and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation"

Hardly surprising.

It is good to be on the case of these characters if for no other reason than it serves as a reminder of what Hilaire Belloc always warned would happen when Capitalism, unrestrained, held sway. More and more people, especially those of a conservative bent, are beginning to ask why the Right should be so obsequious towards Capitalism.  There is, after all, a Third Way, a Catholic way, that doesn't involve either Socialism or Capitalism.

I think to begin to answer these questions Mr Engdahl's article would do nicely.

An excellent open letter to Bishop Lynch from Dr David McKalip, MD.

Most Reverend Robert N. Lynch
Bishop of the Diocese of St. Petersburg

February 23, 2015

Your Excellency,

It is with humility and respect that I write a letter of deep concern to you to be shared with the public. This open letter relates to your recent public statements regarding creation of a government-defined same-sex “marriage”. (I write this openly since you have specifically declined to meet with me to discuss this matter or answer these questions in writing.) In your statements[i], published in the Tampa Bay Times on January 7, 2015, you were right to point out that there may “no doubt be confusion”  relating to the understanding of changing societal definitions of marriage by Catholics.  In that spirit, I write to ask you to clarify some matters and help this faithful member of the Catholic laity clear up confusion created by this matter and by your public discussion of this matter.

To clear up any confusion I will offer some questions that I hope you will answer in public, in the same way in which you have made public your thoughts on the matter of so-called same-sex “marriage” created by the government. My questions will refer back to the document that has been defined by the Magisterium of the Catholic Church as the basis of Catholic doctrine, the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC).  His Holiness, Saint Pope John Paul II, described the Catechism as an “authoritative exposition of the one and perennial apostolic faith” and as a “sure norm for teaching the faith,” as well as a “sure and authentic reference text” for preparing local catechisms (cf. Apostolic Constitution Fidei Depositum, no. 4).”
