Why not the Constitutional Option?

Which, stated, is simply this: that Congress can remove.the Supreme Court's appellate jurisdiction in certain cases....like sodo-"marriage".

William Quirk argues the case in Chronicles:

http://www.chroniclesmagazine.org/2013/June/37/6/magazine/article/12307/

Easier said than done.  The Democrats are in thrall to the sodomite lobby and the Republicans are in thrall to pro-sodomy billionaires like Sheldon Adelson and the Koch Brothers.  But I suppose if enough people started mentioning this to their representatives some good might come out of it.

I have very little hope left for any US politicians  Even Mr Bobby Jindal, after boldly announcing that he will not allow this homosexual onslaught to befoul his state and showing therefore some signs of courage, quickly announced after the Court's "decision" that he will only allow it if ordered by the courts!!  Bobby, dear, do you think it will take the courts more than about ten minutes to order you to do it?  I don't suppose you could stick to your guns and just tell Washington to go to Hell, could you? Will they send in federal troops to harass your state?  Very possibly.  But isn't it better to let the world see with their own eyes the military forces of the country using guns and tanks to enforce the unspeakable crime of sodomy?

The politicians love the Supremem Court.  They can let them do all this damage and then hold up their hands lamenting that there is nothing they can do.  It is a coward's perfect option.

But there is something they can do, as William Quirk lucidly explains above.  We still have this option in the case of this mounting degeneracy.

My Dear "Supreme Court": No, I don't think so.

Epitaph for the failed experiment that was America

A few years ago on this blog this writer made use of an old saying: the Devil has the people by the throat.  It was the ancient lament of peoples watching the disintegration of their homelands by forces that were most certainly of  sinister origin.  This lament has turned up more recently by other writers on the internet for it describes perfectly where we stand today.

There are sure to be countless analyses of today's decision by the Nine Divine Oracles.  But there is no need for analysis.  It was expected, pre-ordained by the degenerate elites of the ruling class. There is nothing to analyze.  Put in simple terms, five employees of the Federal Government voted in favor of their employer, so let us put away at last the facade that we are a "democracy" and that there are "checks and balances" that ensure good government.  It is a sham.  It has always been a sham.  It has been that way since 1776.

A bought and paid for Congress could have stopped this by simply removing the Court's jurisdiction from such matters.  But Congress is the plaything of the Haim Sabans' the George Soros' and the Sheldon Adelson's of this world, all of whom want this degeneracy to be foisted upon the weak, so don't look to them for relief.  Or "checks and balances". (As is the usual practice when something horrible comes from the federal government, be it contraception, the forced destruction of Catholic neighborhoods or abortion, they always find a Catholic of sorts to drop the bomb.  In the case of the queer marriage decision, it is pseudo-Catholic Anthony Kennedy who does the honors.)

Do not be shocked at the Supreme Court decision.  A country that has degenerated as low as America has is to be expected to see this.  An illustration of this degeneracy can be found by reading the "lyrics" of creatures known as "Rap singers", but I don't recommend it.

The prancing deities of Washington and their trolls are all atwitter now.  They've told the world where America stands, and on whose side she stands.  Watch them as they swish and exult in their easily-won victory to become lower than animals.  These are the same people running around the world imposing their "values" on other countries.  These are the same people who are provoking Russia into another world war. In their minds, now that sodomy rules this nation they believe they are invincible and they are now blithely antagonizing a nation that is not ruled by sodomy. If (God forbid!) it should actually come to war it is not too difficult to figure out who will be victorious.

Americans are understandably appalled by this as any right thinking person would be, but they shouldn't be surprised.  In the grand scheme of things America is nothing.

People all over the USA are shocked.  But why?  The "judicial" decision of these five twits, lesbians and ignorami is comparatively minor compared with the real victory of the dark forces:  the real harbinger of the Satanic stranglehold was Ireland a few weeks ago. This blasphemy was not imposed on the Irish by their corrupt government.  No.  Irishmen chose this abomination to fall upon their heads.  That is bigger news than the last, dying gasps of the United States.  When the people of Ireland willingly spat in the face of God, a people that once gloried in their Catholic Faith, that was the official beginning if you will of what we all know is coming.

Organization and coordination techniques tell quite a story. The fact that you have an onslaught that is so perfectly coordinated as this one should tell you that there is a great Intelligence behind it.  That co-ordination even includes prelates of the Catholic Church, as is quite evident in this upcoming Synod.  And timing is everything. I do not say that Cardinals Kasper and Marx and others consult with George Soros on a regular basis.  They don't have to.  Some thing or some one is directing them and it doesn't take a lot of imagination to guess who it is: a being usually described as the Father of Pride...and lies.  Am I saying that certain Catholic prelates are doing the will of the Evil One? Yes, of course.  Let's stop being faint-hearted about this; let us rather face the reality: the Devil's agents sometimes wear clerical collars. They may not know they are doing the work of evil but they are most certainly doing it. They too can be puffed up with Pride.  Have we all forgotten about Arius?

So now the sodomites officially have the upper hand in Ireland and America and dozens of other nations.  Indeed they have the whip hand.  And they will use it.  Their target of choice, to no one's amazement I hope, will be the Catholic Church.  It is the last man standing.

What is to be done  Frittering away our energies and money supporting Republicans who will not come to our rescue, a presidential race between Haim Sabin's Democrats and Sheldon Adelson's Republicans are not sensible options.  Nor is allowing one's self to be mesmerized by the daily bread and circuses provided by the Ruling Class.  I hope we don't squander our efforts in those directions.

The First Saturday in July is coming in a few days.  This is as good a time as any to start or re-start the First Saturday devotions.  This poor writer will get off his complacent rump and will be at Mass on July 4, 2015  [not watching "bombs bursting in air" nor participating in state worship parades].

One thing seems to be crucial just now.  It is a good time  to approach our pastors and Bishops to let them know that we will stand behind them if they should uphold the teachings of the Church. A hand-written letter or an email requesting a meeting would I believe prove productive.  I doubt the Robert Lynches or some of the others will give us the time of day but that's life: they will be dealt with when they meet their Maker.

Let your priests and Bishops know now that you will stand with them.  I would like to see Days of Fasting and Prayer instituted in dioceses all over the world.  Perhaps we can all persuade our pastors that this is the time to consider that.  As Catholics we know that fasting and prayer, together, are powerful weapons against devils.  Our current Pope once instituted such a day of fasting and prayer to prevent an American air strike on innocents in Syria.  It worked.  The indestructible world power that was preparing to rain death and annihilation upon innocent Syrians was stopped.  That same power is raining sodomy and abortion on other lands and on us. Fasting and prayer will stop them again.  It is a weapon in our arsenal that we would do well to use.

Despair is not an option now, but hope is and courage is.  Banish fear as best you can and remember Who it is who is on our side.  These corrupt nonentities in Washington who fancy themselves having the power of Zeus have drawn the battle lines clearly and for that we can be grateful.  There is no more shilly-shallying, no more wondering if someone in that benighted city will come to their senses.  They won't.  They are either cowards or demons or demented. Prepare for the worst but rest assured in the fact that Christ is King, the Supreme Monarch.  The King will protect His subjects.

They are preparing their weapons but we are preparing ours - and ours are much better.

Inside the Mind of a Monstrous Man

Let us thank the hackers for this one.  They have uncovered the exploits of one of the world's truly rotten men.

CyberBerkut hacked into George Soros' private emails.  Here is what they found:

http://journal-neo.org/2015/06/12/an-american-oligarch-s-dirty-tale-of-corruption/

An interesting look into how the world really works and a look into the minds of both Mr Soros and his friend, Nathaniel Rothschild...and Soros flunkey Jeffrey Sachs, who is now advising the Pope on climate issues and who talks about the Pope in such soothing tones. I do wonder if the Holy Father realizes he is being played for an utter fool by Messrs Sachs, Soros and Rothschild.

Marco Tosatti Speculates on the Kasper Proposal

Dr Maike Hickson over at Catholicism.org writes about the speculations of journalist Marco Tosatti. Tosatti's observations center upon the confusion engendered by Cardinal Kasper's switching of stories regarding the Pope's approval of his plan for radical change in Catholicism:

From the article:

"While observers of the discussion concerning the Synod of Bishops on Marriage and the Family are still wondering what it was that has recently caused Cardinal Walter Kasper suddenly (but stammeringly) to deny that which he had claimed a year or so ago – namely, that Pope Francis personally supports his “Kasper proposal” – the well-informed Vatican journalist Marco Tosatti now has his own explanation.

On 10 June, in an article placed on his own blog linked to the Italian newspaper La Stampa, and entitled “The Pope, Kasper, the Denial,” Tosatti quotes the crucial part of the Kasper interview with Raymond Arroyo where Kasper now claims that he did not really have the support of the Pope in his reform proposals concerning the moral teaching and practice of the Church, especially about “remarried” divorcees: “… no, I would not say that he [Pope Francis] approved of my proposal, no, no, no.” Tosatti comments:

These are words that in a way surprised everybody, because they are in contradiction to that which one has been given to understand in the recent months. Eye witnesses of meetings with Pope Francis concerning this topic, as in the one which took place prior to the creation of the recent Cardinals, have a completely different memory; rather, they remember just the opposite.

More importantly, Tosatti reveals what just also happened during the recent assembly of the Italian Bishops’ Conference in May of 2015. Behind closed doors, says Tosatti, Pope Francis is alleged to have said the following: “Some Cardinals have published a book with the single intention to fight against Kasper; that is what a mortal sin is (against charity, probably).” 1

We can only speculate, as Tosatti can only speculate, about what is going on in the preparations for the next round of the Sodomy Synod.  Whichever way our speculations direct us it is likely that this gathering will turn very ugly, and unlikely to produce any good fruits to nourish the faith of Catholics.

Get the Hook

This morning's newspaper in my town, amid stories of black violence against white people, unimportant sports news that is made to seem important, pro-sodomy and pro-war propaganda from Washington and other notable sources and the latest news about which over-the-hill rock groups will be playing at the upcoming Summer festival next week, we find more ramblings from Peter's Chair in Rome.

These unhistoric and somewhat incoherent ramblings amount to some tardy finger pointing at governments during world war two who did not do enough to get rid of the concentration camps.  In order one supposes of papal preference, top billing goes to the Jews, then the gypsies, then the Christians (thanks for mentioning it) and, of course, homosexuals.  Homosexuals had to be mentioned because it is "the thing to do", and all good soldiers in the fight against racism and faggophobia must do their bits.

No historical context for these remarks was given, no suggestions as to what might have been done, not even any hindsight observations about how people should have responded to them - nor even how many people knew what was even going on in those camps, just as there are many Americans now who have no idea what was/is going on in our little secret camps around the world - or if they do know, refuse to acknowledge it.  It's all very nice and easy and cozy to castigate your ancestors about their failings real or imagined but not so easy to stand up to the current powers that be and demand an end to their injustices.  These remarks may win Rome some points with the Jewish press and the homosexuals but we cannot see how a single soul will be saved here and now, especially since no specifically Catholic view of the matter was expressed. When one incessantly talks in generalities it is not surprising that few consciences are pricked.  What these remarks seem to suggest is yet another performance for the ruling elite who like it so much when the powerful can be brought to, shall we say, their point of view.

As this dog and pony show has been going on a bit too long now our only response is: Get the Hook.

Faith, Mercy, Delusions

Thomist writer James Larson looks into mercy and faith in another of his thoughtful, penetrating articles at The War Against Being.

A sample:

In other words, in this life in which our intellects see God only in a “dark manner” through faith, which is an anticipation of the Beatific Vision, there can be no charity without this faith. And, most significant for our understanding of the relationship between faith and charity, “Just as mortal sin is contrary to charity, so is disbelief in one article of faith contrary to faith. Now charity does not remain in a man after one mortal sin. Therefore neither does faith, after a man disbelieves one article.” (II-II, Q.5, A.3). For someone to culpably doubt or disbelieve in even one article of our Faith therefore necessitates that charity totally ceases to exist in such a person. Any notion, therefore, that the demands of charity can supersede faith, or contradict faith, is a profound delusion of Satan.

Larson has much to say and it is important that we study it most carefully for the wealth of information it contains.  In this coming "Year of Mercy" it is incumbent upon us to know what we're talking about when we speak of mercy and why doctrine is not be shunted aside when dealing with the subject.  James Larson in this article helps point us in the correct direction.

Arrogance, Thy Name is Victor Fernandez

Pride is the favorite tool of certain Angelic Intelligences who made it quite clear to their Creator that they would "not serve".  Arrogance goes hand in hand with pride and if there was an Academy Award for that sort of behavior it would have to be awarded to one of Pope Bergolgio's right-hand men, Victor Manuel Fernandez.

Sarcastic, cynical, smug and indifferent, Fernandez is telling us quite clearly that the Church is going to change and there will be "no going back".  How terribly funny.  Where have I heard those words before about not going back?  Genesis?

Dr Maike Hickson tells us quite a bit about this character in an article at Catholicism.org:

On May 10, the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera published an interview with Archbishop Victor Fernández who is a close collaborator of Pope Francis. He is said to have ghost-written Pope Francis’ first Apostolic Exhortation, Evangelii Gaudium, and to be now involved in the drafting of the Pope’s encyclical on questions concerning the environment. He had previously worked together with then-Cardinal Bergoglio in Argentina, and headed Cardinal Bergoglio’s team redacting the touchstone Latin-American bishops’ (CELAM) document ofAparecida in 2007. His words are therefore to be taken very seriously, since, more than most people, he knows the Pope’s mind.

This interview immediately caused a stir in Rome because it turned out to be a more-or-less direct attack on the Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller. “Catholics know from reading the Gospel that it was to the Pope and the bishops that Christ granted a special governance and enlightenment — and not to a prefect or some other structure,” Fernández said. “When one hears such things, one could almost get the impression that the Pope is merely their representative or one who has come to disturb and must, therefore, be monitored.” This criticism aims unmistakably at Cardinal Müller and his prominent official remarks that his duty as the head of the CDF is “to provide the theological structure of a pontificate.”Vatican Insider journalist Andrea Tornielli had himself previously and quite sharply rebuked Cardinal Müller for his public remarks.

Fernández himself is already known for his earlier ridiculing of Cardinal Müller publicly. On the third day of the October 2014 Synod on the Family, where Pope Francis appointed him a member of the drafting commission for the final report on the Synod, Fernández spoke to reporters and said that Pope Francis had invited everybody in the Synod to speak up “without fear that Cardinal Müller will come after you.” The reference to Cardinal Müller reportedly caused chortling in the press room. Cardinal Müller was and is among those prelates of the Church who have strongly opposed any altering of the Church’s essential moral teaching concerning marriage, as it was clearly taught by Jesus Christ.

Fernández is also known for his sardonic comments in an interview with the Argentine journal La Nación right after the October 2014 Synod on the Family, where he said: “There was only a group of six or seven fanatics, somewhat aggressive, who didn’t represent even 5% of the total [of the Synod Fathers]. […] Perhaps we missed saying, at the very least, with Pope Francis: ‘Who are we to judge gays?’” With these words, Archbishop Fernández showed his own sympathies for the reformers during the last Synod, and for Pope Francis’ expression “Who am I to judge?” During the same press conference of 9 October 2014, he insisted that doctrine can be further developed: “When it’s said that this is a ‘pastoral’ synod, it doesn’t at all mean that one cannot deepen the doctrine,” he said. “We need to develop the doctrine on the family much more. If we came here only to repeat what we’ve always said, the church wouldn’t grow.” At the time, his words were considered to reflect Pope Francis’ own views.

Fear not, Victor Manuel Fernandez: the Church will go back, and be greater than ever before, while you, and all you stand for, will find yourself in the dust bin of history, where the good God will drop you.

But do keep smirking, Your Excellency, and enjoy your triumph while you may.  .

Laudato Si: the Mountain Gives Birth to a Mouse

And don’t start like the old writer of epic cycles:

‘Of Priam’s fate I’ll sing, and the greatest of Wars.’

What could he produce to match his opening promise?

Mountains will labour: what’s born? A ridiculous mouse!

(Ep.II.3, 136–9)

                                                (Horace, The Art of Poetry)

The huzzahs have begun and the minds have been closed and the Vatican mountain has given birth to a mouse.  Sound and fury have signified nothing.   And the Church's enemies have just been handed another heavy club to beat God's people with.

I look about me and see devastation in the Church.  I see the annihilation of one nation after another to the Devil's favorite perversion - for others, that is; it revolts him so much that even he looks away after helping men to commit this heinous, unnatural vice.  I see a Mass which is a parody of what was once the most beautiful thing on earth, a Sesame Street-styled liturgy that appeals to those with IQ's of about 79.  I see priest after priest, Bishop after Bishop, Cardinal after Cardinal talking filth and heresy and being rewarded while the good Churchmen "are sent empty away".  I see a Church close to extinction, or at least giving every outward sign of it, and with all this staring us in the face the current successor to St Peter is concerned about temperature.

Humans can pollute lakes and streams, yes.  They can befoul the earth with their chemicals and Frankenstein-inspired manipulated seeds.  Shiftless people living off the public welfare can turn once beautiful neighborhoods and cities into garbage cans and crime-ridden hellholes. But are we really being asked to believe that man can affect the vastness of outer space?

To Peter I ask:

Have you perhaps forgotten the social encyclicals of your noble predecessors Leo XIII and Pius XI?  Are you unaware of how saintly monks in the Ages of Faith taught ignorant native peoples how to cultivate and conserve their lands and produce abundant food?  Do you recall the magnificent economy of the Catholic Middle Ages which was so just and so stable that prices stayed about the same for nearly 500 years and men needed only labor for six months to earn enough to feed their families for twelve months?

You rightly condemn corporatism and an unbridled free market, something the Church has done for centuries before you were ever born but never did She give encouragements to governments to get more oppressive, which your encyclical seems, I say seems, to do.  Yes, there are crooks, oligarchs and charlatans who deny the idea of man-made climate change but have you noticed the crooks, oligarchs, charlatans and truly vile men who support that doubtful notion?  And are you aware that ignorant people, myself included, have enough horse sense to realize they are being conned, swindled and maneuvered into a worldwide prison by those who think a million gas lawn mowers can somehow cause the stars to fall from the heavens?

Yes, there are evil people in the world who do terrible damage to the world we live in both environmentally and politically.  Why don't you name them?  Name the big companies protected by the government - the same government that applauds the man-made climate change meme: BayerAG, Monsanto, BASF, etc.

On June 5th Mr Joe Doyle, the distinguished Catholic from Boston, penned this note to The Pilot.  It is worth reflecting upon, Your Holiness:

Acknowledging the obvious — that the text of the encyclical is, as of this date, unknown — five considerations are in order:

1. Catholicism has traditionally criticized liberal capitalism as an economic system, particularly in its treatment of workers and debtors. It is consistent therefore, with traditional Catholic social teaching to extend that critique to an examination of the impact of capitalism on God’s Creation — the natural environment.
2. We should remember, especially in Boston, that an indifference to the environment had a devastating impact on inner city Catholic communities, when, a half century ago, a corporate driven public policy to promote highway construction obliterated urban Catholic  neighborhoods. It was the incipient environmental movement which finally halted the injustice of eminent domain.
3. There is a danger however, in any cooperation with an ecological movement that is militantly secularist, profoundly anti-life, and intrinsically committed to population control.
4. There is also the risk that some in the Church will exploit the encyclical to revive the “seamless garment” argument, in order to diminish the centrality of the struggles to defend the sanctity of innocent human life, and preserve the integrity of traditional marriage and the natural family — the two greatest challenges in the moral order confronting what remains of Christian civilization today.
5. Finally, neither the Holy Father nor any other member of the hierarchy have a specific competence in scientific matters, nor could any ecclesiastical authority bind Catholic in questions which require purely prudential judgments.    

These are the observations of a Catholic who understands the long history of his Church and who doesn't believe the Church was born in 1965. (With thanks to Catholicism.org)  A little bit of Mr Doyle's wise remarks can be found in Laudato Si, but only a little.

Finally, I must ask our Peter this:  how does this encyclical save one soul from the fires of Hell?  How does it in any way heal the deep wounds in Christ's Church?  I know it helps the ignorant and the enemies of the Church, emboldening them.  I know it will drive away, as if using whips and chains, some who might have thought about becoming Catholics.  I know it will attract the superficial, the unthinking, the modernists for whom nothing is a sin except avoiding Modernism, and I know many of these who flock to you now will become sorely disillusioned when, at last, the Church comes back to her senses.

Yes, we weary Catholics will pick through this thing and find the good in it, for there is some good in it to be sure.  While we are being mocked, ridiculed and hated by your new friends we will still point out the few good things we find in it.  Then too, we can make a judgment, not about individual details of your encyclical, good and bad, but of its effect on a weak and dying Church: there was much publicity and public relations effort put into the begetting of this thing, but all your monumental effort has produced a mouse.  There are more serious things to be worrying about, Francis, than this.

And one more thing, Holiness: young people yearn for eternal Truth, not carbon emissions.

And the Gates of Hell still beckon.

The next time one of those beheading videos shows up...

....please try to remember how this all started.

The following report is not news to me.  Regular readers here are aware that there was mounting evidence that ISIS was created by the US government, Israel and Saudi Arabia, as a proxy army used to destroy Syria and its president, Bashar al-Assad, and that we have published numerous posts on the topic.  Though elements of it were speculation, they was based on hard facts.

Now the US' role in the creation of these monsters has been officially confirmed - and the news media, which has been covering this up for months, is scrambling to look for a place to hide.

The evidence has at last arrived and here is a report detailing it:  http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-05-23/secret-pentagon-report-reveals-us-created-isis-tool-overthrow-syrias-president-assad

Innocents being murdered, priests being kidnapped and tortured, ancient treasures destroyed...all so that Israel can get rid of Assad and America can glom on to more oil reserves (and do Israel's bidding, as they generally do) and Saudi Arabia to eliminate some competition.  The controlled media keeps us focused on the gory details and the Hollywood-style beheading videos but never how these murderous criminals came into existence.

When the diplomatic efforts of Russia and the organized prayers of the Catholic faithful defeated the US' planned annihilation of Syria in 2013 the destroyers of that ancient land had to come up with Plan B, and that plan had several prongs: keep Russia on the ropes by arranging the coup in Kiev and organizing an army of extremists and supplying them with money, weapons and training.

                                                  

From the photo above it looks like Mark 1 Plumbing from Texas City was joining the Jihadists. Not really.  So we might ask ourselves (and Pamela Geller and Jihad-watchers David Horowitz and Robert Spencer might ask themselves) where ISIS obtained this lovely Ford F250 truck. From a recent artile "Where Does ISIS Get Those Wonderful Toys" we find the answer:

Since the spring of 2012, the State Department has also been providing millions of dollars of what it calls “non-lethal aid,” including, “MREs, combat casualty bags, and surgical equipment,” according to Mother Jones magazine, which also reported in 2013 that the US had precious little control over who ultimately received this aid, and whether or not it ended up giving succor to terrorists. Later, this non-lethal aid came to include pick-up trucks. So, perhaps that’s where ISIS got those wonderful Toyotas.

For “Buy American” types whose patriotism is offended by seeing American-backed Islamic extremists driving around in Japanese trucks, there is something you can do about it. Apparently, if you sell your Ford truck in the US of A and it ends up at auction, there’s a chance it might wind up in Syria. Just don’t forget to remove any identifying decals before you sign the title transfer. A Texan made this mistake and sorely regretted it after he starting receiving death threats. As the Huffington Postreported in December 2014:

“A Texas plumber says he has no idea how his company’s work truck ended up in the hands of Islamic extremists in Syria.

The truck, a black Ford F-250 with the logo for Texas City’s Mark-1 Plumbing emblazoned on the door, appeared in a tweet posted Monday by the Ansar al-Deen Front, a jihadist group operating near Aleppo. In the photo, a man fires an anti-aircraft gun mounted to the bed of the truck, presumably where plumbing equipment used to sit.”

“No idea,” huh? Let’s just say it was almost certainly your tax dollars at work.

It is difficult, I know, for ordinary good people to contemplate cynical evil of such depths, especially when it is committed by their own leaders.  Because it is so difficult to face this (as it was difficult for this writer to face it) many people simply stopped thinking about it and willy-nilly accepted the Official Narrative.  I find this odd if for no other reason than that the same government that is committing these war crimes is also the one promoting sodomy and sexual perversion on a global scale.  As neocon creep Michael Ledeen so famously said, America's best response is "creative destruction".

The US has invaded and creatively destroyed numerous nations (they're not above incinerating innocent populations either, as the Japanese or the citizens of Dresden could tell you), they have creatively destroyed the very concept of morality with their promotion of heinous crimes like abortion and buggery.  They have creatively destroyed our wealth and our savings and our jobs and they have creatively destroyed the nation that America once was.

To the good folks who look in on this blog from time to time I encourage you, when you hear of yet another ISIS atrocity, to direct your anger at the source, so as to immunize yourselves against the propaganda, and to not fall into despair.
