Beating The Cultural Revolution

Original Article

Hello from snowy and not-un-Siberia-like upstate New York, where I’m attending a conference at the Russian Orthodox monastery and seminary. At dinner last night with some conference-goers, I was talking about my ideas for my upcoming book. As you regular readers know, I plan to write about the warnings people living here who grew up under Soviet and Eastern European communism are now sounding about the emerging totalitarianism in our own increasingly post-liberal culture. (Snip)What the former anti-communist dissidents among us are recognizing is the totalitarianism inherent in a new Cultural Revolution, the contours of which we are only

Mr. Dreher could make a killing writing Cliffs Notes. Disintegration indeed. And no doubt a long haul. A depressing view of the present circumstances with some hope at the end. A bit like existentialism, deeply depressing until you work through it not entirely unlike Ecclesiastes. Ecclesiastes has the right answer at the end.

Growing up in the Soviet Union, my parents taught me never to believe a thing I heard in the media, and to be very careful what I say out loud. Now I find myself telling my children the same thing.”

Oooo - this hits home. I am a conservative living in the SF Bay Area and this sounds so familiar. I am adept at “blending in” so that a group of people (always liberal - it feels like everyone here is super liberal) assume I am one of them. Part of that is because they are frankly not very aware - they believe everyone around them feels they way they do. Of course everyone agrees with their views because any other view is not only incorrect, but stupid, ignorant and morally wrong. You learn to be very careful not to react or give yourself away in large groups. Why? I have seen what can happen if you are “outed” as a conservative or horrors!! - a Trump supporter. It is now dangerous - and in some areas - even physically dangerous to let your conservative politics known. There is a very small circle of friends and relatives with whom I feel safe sharing my opinions. We watch out for each other and occasionally welcome in someone new provided they are vouched for by one of the group. This is no exaggeration. As PT would say, “Sad, very sad.”

I apologize for the second post. I just shared this article with my adult daughter, also a Californian living in a liberal area. She and her family had just returned from a week at Disneyland and before they went into the park she said they had “the talk” with their kids. She and her husband warned their kids about the things they could not safely say in public. They are big Trump supporters. This is real here.

This is not socialism/communism against capitalism, it is spiritual warfare; the eternal struggle between good and evil. Satan has convinced the world he does not exist and God does not exist, therefore there is no soul - only the belly. Socialism promises to fill the belly as long as you give up your soul.

The Gospel for the First Sunday of Lent is Christ´s temptation in the desert. The first temptation is to fill the belly, the second earthly power and glory, and the third to test God´s faithfulness. These are the same temptations experienced by every human being, and Our Lord gave us the key to resisting temptation; do not dialog with the devil. (We humans are lost as soon as we begin to minimalize the effects of the tempted sin.) Jesus shuts down the first two temptations quoting Scripture, so Satan uses Scripture as the third temptation only to be overridden again by a Scripturally Greater Truth. At the core of all temptation is an alternative to True Love; it bargains with what is most precious in life.

The evil infecting our land under the guise of cultural Marxism cannot be bargained with, it must be resisted. “Dialoging” with the enemy is bargaining with the enemy, which is in essence surrender. To defeat this menace means defiant resistance. It means sacrifice if truth is to be spoken. It is relying on God’s providence for those who defend His Truth. It is a time of winnowing. If our nation is to have another Great Awakening, we must entreat the Holy Spirit to send the fire of His Love.

AMDG then MAGA.

The real state of the union 6 replies
Posted by Judy W. 2/8/2023 8:02:36 AM Post Reply
Ahead of last night’s State of the Union speech, the press reported gloom and doom for their president. Biden is stumbling but always remember, he is 10-0 in elections (7 Senate, 2 veep and 1 presidential). He is an idiot, true, but he is an election savant. Governing is another matter. He sucks like a Shark vacuum. The Washington Post reported, “Americans not feeling impact of Biden agenda, Post-ABC poll finds.” Of course, they are feeling the impact of his agenda. Inflation remains at 1970s levels, we humiliated ourselves by surrendering Afghanistan, and we are depleting our military to protect Ukraine’s border while ignoring our own.

One has to admire the brilliant highjacking of the American election process. It was multi-level, using hundreds, if not thousands of tactics, and planned down to the last compromised County Councillor and State Elections Official. Laws were ignored, ridden over, broken, transduced and corrupted into worthless paper. For every Republican election worker in the field, there are 100 Democrat activists. Last week Christina Bobb, one time OAN anchor, former Marine and Judge Advocate, now President Trump’s attorney, released her book describing what happened after the 2020 steal. Bobb covered the election on the day, and in the weeks afterwards travelled ceaselessly, reporting on the aftermath.

Lucifer woke up this morning with his head pounding and his ego deflated. He drank a gallon of Bloody Marys to stop the pain. Yesterday, that pipsqueak DeSantis beat the devil at his own game. Sure, Satan still has Biden in the White House, but to be beaten by a Florida Man truly hurts. But DeSantis stared Satan down and got the College Board to kick Satan out of its advanced placement black studies course. “At the bottom of this is the College Board’s revision of the curriculum. I don’t believe for a moment that the changes had nothing to do with the criticism from DeSantis.

On January 25, Project Veritas released what has already become by far its most-watched video ever: An undercover conversation with Dr. Jordon Trishton Walker. (Snip) But there’s another story here, worthy of at least a little discussion. It’s not as shocking, but certainly very revealing about the nature of modern America: Who the heck is Jordon Walker and how did this blabbermouth idiot get a sweet job at Pfizer? Critics of the Veritas scoop have zeroed in on the idea that Walker could not possibly hold a senior role with Pfizer, citing his relatively recent graduation and unremarkable research history. This criticism is rooted in truth.

On Wednesday, America will kick off another black history month. This year’s theme is black resistance. Among the 9 people featured in the official poster are Angela Davis and Malcolm X — not Martin Luther King or Clarence Thomas, men who made America better, but a pair of thugs. Davis is the communist who in August 1970 surreptitiously armed three murder defendants which led to a shootout with the police that left the judge and the three gunmen dead. Malcolm X was an ex-convict who once was the face of the Nation of Islam, a black supremacist church. When he left it, the church sent assassins who killed him.

Over the past few months, we've been considering the wholly negative history of the so-called "Progressive"-era constitutional amendments, none of which did anything to improve the nation but did much to undermine its founding principles. (Snip) It's not just the constitutional amendments that have contributed to the decline of the Republic, however: it's also the actions of an ever-burgeoning federal government, which has simultaneously abandoned its core fiscal, executive, judicial, and legislative responsibilities, and extended its intrusive reach into almost every facet of our existence via the creation of the regulatory agencies, which now essentially control every aspect of a citizen's public and private life.

The House of Representatives in the new 118th Congress is off to a good start. In adopting a set of innovative rules governing its parliamentary deliberations, the new House Republican majority has authorized the creation of a Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic with broad jurisdiction. After three years, and more than 1 million deaths in the U.S. associated with COVID-19, a comprehensive, sober, and detailed investigation into the federal government’s response is a necessary precondition for restoring Americans’ trust in federal public health agencies. Specifically, that includes the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Institutes of Health, the Food and Drug Administration, and

Commies have always been after the wealth of America. It is their plum, their Holy Grail, their much-lusted-after crowning achievement. From the ruined universities of Europe, they flooded to the New World after WW2, determined to get some of her lovely money. Communists are always money hungry, starved in fact, ravenous for cash, but they never figure out how it is created. So they steal it by insinuating themselves into the bureaucracy and public sector unions, there to shake down the culture, no matter what. They don’t give a damn about the people they putatively serve. Citizens are meatsuits to be exploited for benefits and raises.

Watching a Project Veritas undercover sting operation invariably leaves me with mixed feelings. On the one hand, I’m struck with admiration for yet another one of James O’Keefe’s bold strokes against the corrupt empire that now dominates our world. On the other hand, I’m shocked by the disclosure that the Empire is staffed by such moral and intellectual lightweights. Though incredible, it appears that the subject of O’Keefe’s latest sting, Jordon Walker, really is a Pfizer Director of Research & Development Strategic Operations. Here he is giddily talking about deliberately mutating SARS-CoV-2 by means of “directed evolution” in order to keep Pfizer’s mRNA vaccine gravy train going.

Himes said, “I don’t know a lot. The briefing was pretty summary, my understanding, there have been some briefings in D.C. for various committee

Fetterman suffered a stroke in May 2022 while campaigning for Pennsylvania's open Senate seat, causing him to have cognitive issues, including a problem with auditory processing. The senator, who is in the hospital after experiencing lightheadedness Wednesday, has also struggled to adjust to life in the Senate, given the challenges of recovering from his stroke and the need for technological tools

House Republicans are pushing to bar any person or business associated with the Chinese Communist Party from purchasing agricultural land in the United States, an effort gaining traction on the Hill as lawmakers look to retaliate against China over its spy-balloon incursion. Reps. Dan Newhouse (R., Wash.) and Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R., Wash.), alongside more than 40 cosponsors, last week proposed legislation that would prohibit any purchase of public or private agricultural real estate in the United States and its territories by "nonresident aliens, foreign businesses, or any agent, trustee, or fiduciary associated with the Government of the People's Republic of China."

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Saturday that an "unidentified object" had been shot down over Canadian airspace on his orders. "I ordered the take down of an unidentified object that violated Canadian airspace. @NORADCommand shot down the object over the Yukon. Canadian and U.S. aircraft were scrambled, and a U.S. F-22 successfully fired at the object," Trudeau said on Twitter. Trudeau said that he spoke with US President Joe Biden on Saturday and that Canadian forces will lead the object recovery operation. Canadian Defense Minister Anita Anand tweeted Saturday that she had discussed the incident with US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin "and reaffirmed that we'll always defend our sovereignty together."

President Joe Biden hosted the National Governors Association Winter Meeting in the East Room of the White House Friday, and he couldn’t resist the temptation to toss out one of his trademark not-off-the-cuff quips. “Every time I hear ‘the President of the United States,’ I look around and say, ‘Where the hell is he?’” Biden said. The line apparently failed, as very few in the room laughed and some looked confused or concerned. Watch: Very funny, Joe. Actually, it’s not that funny, and although he’s made similar jests in the past, it points to a larger problem: many don’t believe the President is really in charge—including seemingly himself.

A new government report reveals that the total amount of American soil owned by Chinese investors is nearly twice as large as the entirety of New York City. As the New York Post reports, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) revealed in last month’s report on foreign-held land that Chinese buyers currently own at least 384,235 of American land. By contrast, the full expanse of New York City covers just 193,700 acres. Even Bill Gates’ total land ownership is dwarfed by China’s, with just 270,000 acres. Of all the foreign-owned farmland in the U.S., China owns roughly 0.9 percent, or about $1.2 billion worth of land, according to the USDA report.
