The Roman Forum: "Why should lasting values tremble if transient things fall?” (Prosper of Aquitaine)

August 28, 2020: Feast of St. Augustine

“This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper.”
(T.S. Eliot, The Hollow Men)

“In the world you shall have distress. But have confidence. I have overcome the world.“
(John 16:33)
--------------------------------------------------------

Dear Friends of the Roman Forum,

“Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad”.

Our entire secularized but formerly glorious Christian civilization has gone stark raving mad, and deserves whatever fate lies in store for it for having abandoned God. Since it has lost its Faith it has also lost its Reason, proclaiming absolute nonsense as unquestionable, infallible, scientific wisdom.

At least we Catholics can take consolation in the fact that we have been provided by our robotic opponents with a “Galileo Case” that they will never be able to live down: when - and if - our brain dead civilization ever does regain its sanity. And Christ will, of course, triumph over an arrogant, modern, “enlightened” world, now seemingly ending with a pathetic whimper regarding not a Bubonic Plague but an admittedly tragic flu that nevertheless has mercifully left 99% of mankind quite intact.

Given everyone’s justifiable focus on the electoral drama, and given also the great uncertainty surrounding a crisis being manipulated by a variety of what I can only label terrorist organizations - whose crimes cry out to heaven for a new set of Nuremberg Trials to punish - this Roman Forum information letter will be very brief.

If the borders are reopened and conditions permit our proper use of the parish church of Gardone Riviera, our 28th Annual Summer Symposium dealing with The Traditionalist Movement: Its Origins, Its Manifold Ramifications, Its Divisions, and its Enemies, planned for 2020, will take place in the summer of 2021. Further information and exact dates will be provided as we become more secure about the future.

The last four years of our New York City Church History Lectures may be found for free on the Internet by calling up The Roman Forum at Sound Cloud. As already mentioned in the past, our hope is eventually to redo all of the previous lectures of this present cycle of the history program - some 450 conferences in total - and make them similarly available to interested listeners. Meanwhile, the tentative schedule for the 2020-2021 New York City Church History Lectures, The End of the Modern World: From the “Purifying War” to Danger on All Fronts (1914-1945), is pasted below.

We are obviously grateful to those still capable of offering us tax-deductible donations in these difficult days. Donations can be made either through PayPal on our website or by checks made out to the Roman Forum and mailed to the address indicated above. All donors are remembered in the monthly Traditional Mass said on their behalf, offered by our chaplain, Rev. Dr. Richard A. Munkelt. And all of you are always in our daily prayers.

Viva Cristo Rey!

Laurel: Reclaiming a Hometown - One Home At A Time

Laurel, Mississippi went on a downward spiral after its pine woods industry went downhill. But, forests grow, and communities rise, especially with dedicated reclaimers, like Erin and Ben Napier.

Nobody knows and loves Laurel, Mississippi, quite like Erin and Ben Napier. After all, the small Southern city is where Home Town is filmed, and the Napiers are the stars of the HGTV show.

Bringing positive attention to their hometown was a major factor in the couple's decision to star in the show, currently airing its second season. In each episode, the husband and wife (and brand new parents!) help Laurel newcomers find and renovate their dream home. Along the way, we get a good look at the quaint town (population 18,756) that the hosts are so very proud of.

Through the series, Erin and Ben have indeed put Laurel on the map. And since it's only a matter of time before people start planning to visit the small town (just look at all the folks trekking to Magnolia Market and Pioneer Woman Mercantile!), here's our guide to the Home Town filming location, complete with Erin and Ben's favorite local spots.

Ethiopia's Unity

Entrance to Unity Park, in Addis Ababa

PM Abiy is working to unify Ethiopia, contrary to the accusations that he is deliberately fomenting the country's splinter.

The Story of All of Us: Ode to Unity Park in Addis Ababa
Alemayehu G. Mariam

On a partly cloudy January morning
I took a walk in the (Unity) park
There I found His(Her)story with a puzzled look
Asking me curiously,

“Do you know?”

On these grounds of power and glory
In this place of honor and shame
Where hope and despair tangled to the bitter end
Is written the Story of All of Us.

“Do you know?”

In this place of sadness and joy
On these grounds where victory was conceived and defeat born
Where horror, terror and torture were hid in a dungeon
Is written the Story of All of Us.

“Do you know?”

On these grounds of promises made and promises broken
In this place of truth and deceit
Inscribed on the ancient granite walls
Is the Story of All of Us.

“Do you know?”

On these grounds of virtue and vice
In this place of darkness and light
Where quest turned into conquest
Is written the Story of All of Us.

“Do you know?”

On these grounds where trees stand tall
In this place where they stood silent sentry for a century
New flowers today sing in dazzling colors
And write the Story of All of Us.

Do you know?

On these grounds where our leaders prayed and sinned
In this place where they plotted and schemed
Did they forge one nation indivisible
Is written the Story of All of Us.

“Do you know?”

On these grounds where we founded our nation’s capital
In this place where our ancestors came together in wisdom and folly
To do dastardly deeds and recite sublime poetry
Is written the Story of All of Us in blood, sweat, tears and laughter.

Answered I to His(Her)story:

Now is the time to turn a page
To inscribe a new chapter filled with hope and optimism
To affirm in this hallowed park the sanctity of our unity
To boldly declare our humanity in our diversity.

Answered I to His(Her)story:

Now is the time to write the new Story of All of Us
To sing out loud our songs of peace, prosperity and unity
Rebuild our City Upon a Hill amidst a bed of new flowers
Then let our “sons and your daughters prophesy, our young men see visions, and our old men dream dreams”

Answered I to His(Her)story:

Somewhere ages and ages from now
A generation will walk in Unity Park and sigh in relief and pride:
“Thank God, our ancestors seized the moment
On two roads that diverged in the night
They took the road marked ‘Peace and Prosperity’
Made a right turn on a road named “Reconciliation and Forgiveness”
And that has made all the difference in the Story of All of Us!”

Who's That Masked Man?

Who's That Masked Man
By David Stockman

It should be evident by now that the Donald’s one and only north star is his own glorification and self-aggrandizement. That’s why he’s totally flat-footed at this crucial moment in the pandemic saga.

What he needs to be doing is taking off the gloves for a bare-knuckled counter-attack against the Virus Patrol, which is ruining America’s economic and fiscal future.

Instead, yesterday he put on the Mask and the tweeted a juvenile boast that he’s the most patriotic muzzle-wearer in the land. Apparently, there is no place the Donald won’t go to reverse his sagging poll results:

We are United in our effort to defeat the Invisible China Virus, and many people say that it is Patriotic to wear a face mask when you can’t socially distance. There is nobody more Patriotic than me, your favorite President!

But no, Donald, you ain’t no favorite among lovers of liberty, capitalist prosperity, free market opportunity and the constitutional fettering of state power.

After all, you said you came to Washington to drain the Swamp, yet there is no more odious set of Swamp Creatures than the camarilla of NIH/CDC/FDA doctors and apparatchiks, along with their Big Pharma and Gates Vaccine lobby allies, who bamboozled you into the folly of Lockdown Nation last March.

But now—when its way past time to reverse course and repudiate your malpracticing doctors— you actually genuflect to their Mask Totem, when you should be declaring loudly and unequivocally the opposite: Namely, that the the coronavirus has meet it match in the immune systems of the overwhelming share of Americans, and that it’s beating a fast retreat into the archives of still another infectious winter virus that passed through the population and moved on.

On the one hand, the Grim Reaper of Covid has long since vacated the epicenter of its brief rampage in New York, where the foolish actions of Gauleiter Cuomo caused a surge in nursing home infections, sickness and death, which accounts almost entirely for the four week surge in the state’s WITH-Covid death count during April.

By contrast, during the current month thru July 20, New York has tested like crazy, but has come up with no cigar with respect to new Covid cases. Compared to a total of 1,250,000 tests during that 20-day period, only 13,872 have tested positive, and many of those are surely the same people taking and re-taking their PCP swab in order to gain license to go back to work.

In any event, the gross positive rate is just 1.1 percent and would probably well less than that if the data were de-duped.

Likewise, there have been an average of just 10 WITH-Covid deaths reported during the first three weeks of July, which self-evidently is a tiny fraction of 500-800 deaths per day—heavily in the nursing homes—reported during April. Moreover, there is no real mystery as to why the curve is (thankfully) plunging to the lower right of the chart and heading right off the page. This virus like other virulent influenza’s strikes the weakest and most vulnerable population first, and thereafter tends to meet its match as the immune systems of the healthier parts of the population join the battle.


What that natural progression of the contagion means, of course, is that Governor Cuomo’s economically destructive lockdown orders had virtually nothing to do with the coronavirus’ welcome retreat.

That’s evident by comparison with Sweden, which had virtually no lockdowns at all. As of yesterday, however, the WITH-Covid death rate was 130 per 100,000 persons for New York state overall, and 235, 223 and 200 per 100,000, respectively, in the Bronx, Queens and Brooklyn.

By contrast, the mortality rate in Sweden has been about 55 per 100,000, and the preponderant share of those have been people over 70 years, heavily institutionalized in care facilities. In any event, the chart below says it all. Governor Cuomo’s boot heels did not “flatten the curve” relative to the open social and economic regime in Sweden, and also resulted in a 2.5X higher mortality rate on a cumulative basis.



By the same token, there is no “second wave” crisis in the so-called hot spot areas of the Sunbelt, either. Like in the case of New York, the virus is simply moving through the population in a time frame that is a month or two lagged relative to the original contagion’s spread in the Northeast; and, again, it is meeting its match in the immune systems of the healthier parts of the population.

The proof for that is straight-forward and is measured by the hospitalization rate per new case. The latter has plunged from 15-20 percent in the early days of the contagion in these new so-called hot spot states, but is now in the low single digits. The data for new cases, hospitalizations and the hospitalization ratio for the first 20 days of July includes the following:

· Florida: 207,960 new cases, 6,726 additional hospitalizations=3.2 percent;

· Arizona: 65,968 new cases, 1,962 additional hospitalizations=3.0 percent;

· Tennessee: 36,245 new cases, 1,047 additional hospitalizations=2.9 percent;

· Georgia: 64,284 new cases, 3,996 additional hospitalizations=6.2 percent;

· Arkansas: 13,150 new cases, 883 additional hospitalizations=6.0 percent;

· South Carolina: 35,046 new cases, 1,328 additional hospitalizations=3.8 percent;

· Mississippi: 21,642 new cases, 610 additional hospitalizations=2.8 percent

In a word, hospitalization rates of 3-6 percent are not indicative of a public health crisis or a dread disease laying waste to the population. In fact, they are only slightly above the hospitalization rates for normal winter influenza.

The chart below is the CDC’s assessment for the 2010-2018 seasons, and shows that the hospitalization rate per infected case has averaged 1.5 percent-2.0 percent over that eight year period; and that’s against a generous guesstimate of total influenza illnesses, not lab confirmed cases as with the current Covid stats.

Still, the point hardly needs saying. We do not close the bars, restaurants, gyms, hair salons, movies, malls etc. every winter owing to the flu. Yet that’s exactly what the Donald’ camarilla of malpracticing doctors are now urging for the states listed above in the face of a virus that is only slightly more severe than normal.

Stated differently, even now 94-97 percent of the ballyhooed “new cases” in the so-called Red Zone states are either asymptomatic or result in mild illness and recovery at home. The fact that what the Donald mistakenly thought was the Greatest Economy Ever is now swamped in unemployment, business failures, payment delinquencies and a fearful, muzzle-ridden public is ultimately the doing of the Masked Man above.

Harry Truman was right. The buck stops in the Oval Office.

At the end of the day, it was the Donald who empowered Dr. Fauci, who, in turn, paved the way for the governors, public health departments, mayors and lesser officials to attack the livelihoods and well-being of their own constituents in their tens of millions.



To add insult to injury, however, you can leave it to Dr. Fauci. The man had the gall to offer New York state as a shinning example to the rest of the nation when, in fact, it’s governor is damn near criminally negligent on the state’s nursing home death tsunami alone.

The fact is, New York’s mortality rate per 100,000 is well more than 2X greater than the European basket cases of Italy, Spain and the UK, and is actually more than 4.5X higher than Florida’s and 9.5X higher than that of Texas.

In the face of such abysmal judgement, the Donald’s trademark “you’re fired” would be the least that might be expected. But what we got was not just the ostentatious tweet of POTUS in a muzzle, but a renewed signal for the power-grabbing, Trump-hating local Dem officialdom to intensify their attacks on the main street economy.

The Dem rulers of Broward County, Florida, for example, have just now issued an order requiring homeowners to enforce the mask rule against visitors in their own homes-–upon penalty of fine or jail and subject to county inspector surveillance.

Likewise, County mayor Dale Holness’ announced a curfew and criminal penalties for having more than 10 people in your own home, or being part of a gathering of more than 10 people inside a PRIVATE RESIDENCE.

Of course, Broward County is just a microcosm of the economy-crushing mayhem that has been unleashed by the Donald’s own presumptive subordinates. This is no longer just a few aggressive governors like those of New York, New Jersey and Michigan in the early days of the pandemic: What you have now is a veritable army of petty officialdom, enforcers and self-appointed snitches literally tearing apart the fabric of economic and social life in much of America.

Of course, the Donald is clueless about this because the retainers and sycophants who surround him insure he doesn’t grasp the enormity of the economic collapse that has been triggered, and which shows no sign of some kind of miraculous “V”-shaped rebound.

Nor does he realize that the pre-Covid economy was a fragile tinder-box of debt, speculation and malinvestment that was stumbling forward on cyclical fumes and the residual growth momentum of capitalism—even in the face of the giant obstacles to sustainable prosperity stood up by the state and especially its central banking branch.

So any old Black Swan could have triggered the deep recession now underway. But owing to the sudden, concentrated blunderbuss attacks of Lockdown Nation, this one will prove to be the blackist avian visitor of all.

For instance, nothing like this chart has ever been seen before in the annals of modern history. Compared to a peak of 6.6 million UI beneficiaries at the bottom of the Great Recession (May 2009), there are now upwards of 32 million workers drawing state and Federal UI benefits. That’s more than 20 percent of the 158 million employed workers as of February.



Ordinarily, the jolt to income and spending from a 32 million person army of the unemployed would have sent the US economy reeling months ago because in the hand-to-mouth world that the Donald inherited, 80 percent of the households have no meaningful financial cushion or rainy day funds.

Of course, that unemployment based income and spending plunge is now being temporarily cushioned by the unprecedented eruption of free stuff from Uncle Sam that was packed into the Everything Bailouts three months ago. That includes upwards of $500 billion of wage support via the PPP program at the SBA, the $1,200 helicopter checks which went out to 160 million citizens and especially the $600 per week Federal “top-up” on UI benefits.

The impact of the latter in disguising the economic pain implicit in the UI chart above cannot be over-emphasized. On a nationwide average basis, the regular state UI program pays about $500 per week or an annualized rate of $26,000 to covered workers.

In the middle of the night during the frenzied legislative sessions of late March, however, Congress upped the ante to $1,100 per week, which annualizes to $57,200.

Them there is different kettles of fish entirely!

But the Federal top-up also costs $75 billion per month and has put nearly two-thirds of unemployed recipients in a higher income bracket than when they were on the job drawing a paycheck; and, also, by the way, producing output of goods and services which are the real building blocks of the macro-economy.

It now comes to pass that at least some of the sleep-walking GOP senators have figured out that you can’t shell out a $75 billion per month dole for unemployment and expect the engines of economic life to restart or the tattered remains of Washington’s fiscal accounts to ever be repaired.

So there is a rather considerable chance that the battle over the impending Everything Bailout 4.0 will be prolonged, and that the giant air-cushion of transfer payments which has disguised the Lockdown Nation disaster will be abruptly deflated in August.

The chart below, in fact, shows how the phantasmagoria of free stuff from Washington since March has tuned upside down the traditional notion of a recession, and especially one where one-fifth of the labor force is unemployed. The chart shows total monthly household personal income—including dividends, interest and proprietors profits which mostly goes to the top 10 percent—-since January.

Incredibly, during April when the bottom literally dropped out of industries ranging from air travel to neighborhood restaurants and bars, total household income was actually 5 percent higher than it was during January—a time when both Wall Street and the Donald claimed the US economy was booming like never before.

Since then, household income has managed to stay right at the pre-Covid January level, notwithstanding a loss of wage and salary disbursements that is still running at a negative $850 billion annual rate.

What portends for August and many months to come, therefore, is the delayed income and spending contraction of a battered economy which has already experienced a double-digit plunge in the actual production of goods and services.

Needless to say, that’s going to shock both Wall Street and the Masked Man alike.

And it will be enough of a blow to voter confidence—even in the Trumpite precincts of Flyover America—so as to insure that the best outcome possible on November 3 will be the Mother-of-All-Hanging Chad battles at the Electoral College and Supreme Court, while the likely outcome is a return of the vengeful coalition of Clintonista poltroons and Progressive-Left ideologues to the seats of power on both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue.




In either contingency, today’s lagging indicators of the underlying economic distress generated by Lockdown nation will be aggravated enormously. These charts on failing rent collections and small business closures are, in fact, just the tip of the iceberg—and will continue to worsen even if some gussied-up Everything Bailout 4.0 is cobbled together on Capitol Hill before the real election season blood-lettings get underway.


Indeed, on any number of high-frequency variables, the data has already plateaued and that’s before the August plunge and the most vicious election battle in modern history have taken their toll.

And now with the new lockdown orders and a renewed MSM campaign of Covid-Hysteria in the Sunbelt, there is indeed a “second wave” coming—that is, more hemorrhaging of jobs, incomes, defaults and business failures across the length and breath of main street America.





As we said, anyone who actually believed the Donald had any semblance of a plan for MAGA should now be asking “Who’s that Masked Man”?

We’re not.

"What a Sleazeball": My Original Take on Trump

Via The Thinking Housewife:

Trump, Melania, Jeffrey Epstein and Maxwell in 2000

TRUMP sent good wishes yesterday to Ghislaine Maxwell, awaiting trial in New York for sex crimes against minors:

Donald Trump has sent a message of support to Ghislaine Maxwell as pedophile billionaire Jeffrey Epstein’s accused madam awaits her trial for sex trafficking minors.

The president admitted meeting Maxwell ‘numerous times’ over the years and wished her well in his Tuesday White House press conference – his first since vowing to return to coronavirus news briefings as cases soar across the US.

Trump’s connections to Epstein and Maxwell have long come under scrutiny as they mixed in the same wealthy circles for decades, with Trump once describing the convicted pedophile as a ‘terrific guy’.

What a sleazeball.

-----------------------------------------------------

I never liked, or followed Trump. I wrote about him in a June 2016 post:

Trump is a media guy. He knows how to handle those "fake newsers."

I blogged on my original thoughts of Trump several years ago, where I focused on his pornographic life, and wife Melania, who posed nude for various magazines, arguing that America doesn't want such a man for president.

What a sleazeball!

Trump and His Darth Vaders

US President Donald Trump wears a mask as he visits Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland on July 11, 2020 [Image Source]

President Trump appears to be backtracking from his statements during his recent Fox News interview with Chris Wallace this past Sunday, July 21, but I don't think so.

I wrote about the interview here: Trump is Getting Back on Track.

Trump vacillates often, and I think he is reined in by forces we don't understand, primarily originating from his son-in-law Jared Kushner.

But Trump has sharp instincts, and his vacillations are a way of gauging the political atmosphere, as he showed during the Chris Wallace interview. He cannot afford to alienate important segments of the American population, and cannot go back to the days when he called various politicians "liars." Remember the "Lyin' Ted" days?

And his statement after his mask-wearing visit to the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center shows that:

“When you’re in a hospital, especially ... I think it’s expected to wear a mask.”[Source]

Expected, is what he said, rather than "mandatory." And he never said "everywhere."

During his July 21 interview, Wallace asked him about mandating mask-wearing:

Wallace: Question, the CDC says if everybody wore a mask for 4-6 weeks, we could get this under control. Do you regret not wearing a mask in public from the start, and would you consider – will you consider a national mandate that people need to wear masks?

Trump: No I want people to have a certain freedom, and I don’t believe in that. No, and I don’t agree with the statement that if everybody wear a mask everything disappears. Hey, Dr. Fauci said don’t wear a mask. Our Surgeon General – terrific guy – said don’t wear a mask.

Everybody who is saying don’t wear a mask – all of sudden everybody’s got to wear a mask, and as you know masks cause problems, too. With that being said, I’m a believer in masks. I think masks are good.

But I leave it up to the governors. Many of the governors are changing. They’re more mask into – they like the concept of masks, but some of them don’t agree.[Source]

"No, I want people to have a certain freedom, and I don't believe in [a national mandate], no."

And if ever he was to go public wearing a mask it would be surrounded by tough military men in full regalia, as during his recent visit to the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Maryland. They came out looking like a Darth Vader troop. And their masks have the White House insignia on them!

And Trump ditched his mask as soon as he left the hospital:

Trump was wearing a mask in Walter Reed’s hallway as he began his visit. He was not wearing one when he stepped off the helicopter at the facility, and also during his press brief after his visit. [Source]

At that press brief, he answered a heckling reporter, who was fully masked and socially distancing asking him why he removed his mask later after the press briefing:


Masked and Heckling Female Reporter in Lilac [Note KPA: I searched for this woman's name and her news media affiliation, but nothing]

Trump replies, in his signature manner, which people mock frequently, but which shows his particular way of covering his perspective:

If you can, use the mask. When you can, use the mask. If you're close to each other, if you're in a group, I would put it on, when I'm in a group. If I'm in a elevator and there are other people with me, including, like, security people, it's not their fault, they have to be in the elevator. I want to protect them also. I put on a mask.

I have no problem with the masks. I view it this way: anything that potentially...In theory you don't need the mask. I'm getting used to the mask.

And the reason is, think about patriotism. Maybe it is. It helps. It helps. Now we've had experts that said in the recent past that masks aren't necessarily good to wear...But now they've changed their mind. If they change their mind, that's good enough for me, so I wear it when appropriate.

Good. Why should Trump get into arguments with hostile media? He is right, when close to people, just wear the mask. It actually makes people around him feel better. They have been fed the fake news media harassment on the COVID-Scam, and may turn belligerent, or just simply get nervous and agitated, if you walk in with your unbridled face.

Let's wait and see what Trump does. I think he will be clever and alert, and return to his mission of "Make America Great Again." Hopefully, it will be soon. And hopefully, he will get rid of his son-in-law, and those strings that pull at American politics.

Trump knows ALL about the mafia, and their tactics and strategies.

Trump is Getting Back on Track

Here is the full transcript for: Fox News Sunday interview with President Trump, if the video is no longer available.

Below, I have posted what I think are the important points.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

President Trump refused to be bullied by fake-new Fox reporter Chris Wallace, who questioned him on the new book out about his family, by his niece, who went on a mission to destroy Trump, and especially Trump's father.

Here is the telling part during the interview, around 31 minutes:

My father liked to win. My father was a very good man, he was a strong man. It's disgraceful that she said that. She was not exactly a family favorite...She writes a book that so stupid and so vicious. And it's a lie.

My father was a great wonderful man.

It hurts me more about attacking my father [than attacking me], not being kind to my mother. I have a mother who was like a saint. She was incredible. She was an incredible woman. And she [...] was nasty even to my mother.

[...]

She [the author] was not much of a family person.

[...]

My father was...I think he was the most solid person I have ever met. And he was a very good person. He was a very very. good person. He was strong, but he was good. For her to say that kind of things. A psychopath? That he was a psychopath? Anybody who knew Fred Trump would call him a psychopath?! And you know what? If he was, I would tell you.

[...]

My father, he was tough. He was tough for me. He was tough on all of the kids. But tough in a solid sense. In a really good sense.

[...]

That book is a LIE!

And Trump and his take on Fox News:

I'm not a big fan of Fox, I'll be honest with you. They've changed a lot since Roger Ailes.

[...]

Look, I know you very well. I know your father very well [referring to Mike Wallace]. He was one of the most talented journalists there are. And you likewise are a very talented person.

I do think this. I think you are a very, uh. I think you are toward the Democrat side. Which is ok...

[KPA Note: Which Chris Wallace of course denies, with "footage" to prove, which he shows]

It just seems to me that you are very prone to be with the Democrats, and maybe I'm wrong about that Chris. But it's an honor to be with you.

[KPA Note: Regarding the elections]

Trump: I don't think I'm going to lose at all.

Wallace: But if you did, how crushing would it be?

Trump: First of all, let me tell you something. I know everyone wants to know that because they'd LOVE to see me lose...Do you know how many times I've been written off?...

[KPA Note: Wallace persists with the "lose" question. And Trump doesn't take the bait]

And you know why I won't lose? Because the country in the end, they're not going to have a man whose shot. He's shot.

[KPA Note: Trump points to his head indicating that Biden is not right in the head]

Trump: He's mentally shot.

Let him come out of his basement and go around. I'll make four five speeches a day. I'll be interviewed by you. I'll be interviewed by the worst killers that hate my guts. They hate my guts. There's nothing they can ask me I that won't give a proper answer to. Some people will like it, some people won't like it.

Wallace: I agree with that.

Trump: But look. Let Biden sit through an interview like this. He'll be on the ground crying for Mommy. He'll say "Mommy, Mommy! Please take me home!"

Wallace: We've asked him for an interview, sir.

Trump: He can't do an interview. He's incompetent.

There's a number you haven't mentioned. It's the "enthusiasm number." The enthusiasm for Trump is through the roof. Even higher than last time. The enthusiasm for Biden in non-existent. Everyone knows he's shot.

Wallace: But the enthusiasm AGAINST YOU is high.

Trump: Well, that's OK. That's his only shot.

Wallace: Right.

Trump: That's his only shot. I agree. And those people know I'm doing a good job. But there's something in my personality that they don't like.

Because look. Nobody's done what I've done!

Biden wants to come in and ruin our country.

[...]

He will destroy this country.

But. It won't be him. It will be the radical left. The same type of ideology that took over Venezuela, one of the richest countries in the world. They now have no water. They've not food. And they have no medicine.

That's gonna happen here if he wins.

[KPA Note: The devious Wallace asks this as his "final" questions]:

Wallace: Are you a good loser?

Trump: I'm not a good loser. I don't like to lose. I don't lose too often. I don't like to lose.

Wallace: But are you gracious?

Trump: You don't know until you see. It depends.

I think mail-in voting is going to rig the election. I really do.

[...]

Wallace: Whether it's in 2021 or 2025, how will you regard your years as President of the United States?

Trump: I think I was very unfairly treated. From before I even won, I was under investigation by a bunch of thieves, crooks. It was an illegal investigation.

Wallace: But what about the good parts, sir?

Trump: No, no. I want to say this. I have done more than any President in US history in the first three and a half years, and I have done it suffering through an investigations

[...]

The Russia Hoax, it was all a hoax. The Muller Scam, it was all a scam. It was all false.

I made a bad decision. One bad decision: Jeff Sessions. Now I feel good because he lost overwhelmingly in the great state of Alabama.

Here's the bottom line. I've been very unfairly treated. And I don't say that as paranoid. Everybody says it. It's going to be interesting to see what happens. But there was tremendous evidence right now as to how unfairly treated I was.

[...]

Let’s see what happens. Despite that, I did more than any president in history in the first three and a half years.

Council of European Canadians and Their Can of Worms

The Council of European Canadians just opened a can of worms. LOL.

But it is more than that. Many "white nationalist" groups are actually a-Christian, if not anti-Christian.

What a wonderful way to support, and promulgate, the West (sarcasm alert).

Misinforming the American Public

I wrote recently of the cut-and-paste "journalism" that I coined for Steve Sailer's style of writing which I discuss in a longer post here: Ethiopia's Independence and Strength.

The very last comment (#58) in Sailer's article Minnesota is Turning into a Front in the Ethiopian Civil War comments section is by:

stephen 🇬🇧
@LFC_blano
Always Loyal ☆ Fortune Favours The Brave ☆
BRITISH AND PROUD

"stephen" has attached a video with his comment:

Video footage of a 100 strong mob of Ethiopian youths destroying the statue of Emperor Haile Selassie in Cannizaro Park, Wimbledon London https://t.co/O4zTtlfBqr pic.twitter.com/x7b2doJDaO

— stephen 🇬🇧 (@LFC_blano) July 6, 2020

Of course, besides the non-identification of the statue-destroyers, and the pending investigations by the London police, it is TOTALLY reasonable to associate this vandalism with "Ethiopians" (sarcasm alert).

The language that these vandals are speaking is not Amharic, the official and historical language of Ethiopia, but the regional Oromigna. Thus, clearly and unequivocally, these vandals are Oromo, who, like their counterparts in Addis Ababa, simply wish the destruction of the historical Ethiopia.

Steve Sailer has left this piece of twitter in the comments section of his Oromo article (which I have discussed here), adding to more misinformation for the American public.

This, as I have written before, adds to my gathering of proof that American leaders, left or right, are strategizing toward a subdued Ethiopia.

A strong Ethiopia will be difficult to coerce into the various Middle East policies that America, and I am convinced in conjunction with Israel, is currently developing.

As I wrote in my recent post Ethiopia's Independence and Strength about the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, which is now in its final stages of being filled, a strong and independent Ethiopia is not what these global powers want in northern Africa.

Sailer knows the implications of this, and he left the post and its comments for all to be misinformed.

A God-Given Earth

I recently posted on VDare's (via Steve Sailer) cut-and-paste post on the rebel protests in Ethiopia.

There is something ugly about race-antagonism, even when it comes from the "victims," which is how Americans see themselves in this world of spiraling protests.

Of course, I don't think Americans, and American whites, are necessarily victims, rather victims of their own doing. They are (partially) to blame.

Regardless of politics, Americans allowed entry into their country people from distant shores and continents, for many decades now.

The question is why.

I believe this is a question best answered with a religious lens.

Americans, and especially American leaders, abandoned their faith in God, their commitment to God's words, and decided that they can make a land of their own making, imagination, and desires.

Since the biggest crime for American thought is "racism," they couldn't use the logical and true argument of race to close off their borders to all these aliens.

Why not (to continue with the "why" question)?

To become a racist is to be evil, to deny the humanity of another human being. So believe contemporary Americans, of all faith, political, social and cultural nuances.

But, God's Bible is replete with stories of race, of families of races, the most important and significant being the Jewish race of the Old Testament, those chosen people.

Through these Jewish ancestors, came Jesus Christ, a Jew himself, who opened up the Bible, and the people of the world, to be equally deserving of the Grace of God, through their acceptance of the Grace of God.

But nations were never annihilated. Families were never cast aside.

We learn our lessons through both the Old and the New.

If Jews, as generations of families, lived such a long and God-blessed existence, then so can we, with our own families, in our own corners of the world.

If America's leaders cannot openly and proudly submit to bowing their heads to the grace and power of God, then they are hurtling their country, and their people, to doom.

I believe this is where VDare, with its erudite, intelligent and clever leaders, have failed. They have decided to make America, perhaps some without realizing so, "a land of their own making, imagination, and desires."

That is why their immigrant stories resonate as horror stories. Ugly and fighting words, without the Grace of God, the humility before God, simply become horror stories.

Those immigrant rabble-rouser leaders will hook on to these words, and convince their communities that American whites are racist and evil. And so continue the headlines with news of bombs of words and steel, with no end in sight.

But through humility and grace, America's leaders, by leaning on the word of God, could convince that Mexican family (with its ostracized bomb-throwing unemployed son), which is making as honest a living as possible with a paycheck that barely covers rent and food, that its members (including those born "American," and that son) have another place, a God-given place, created by their own ancestors. And that they are better off there, even as their lives might change dramatically at first. That they can start to plan for generations into the future, rather than for the end of the month, each month.

How enlightened they could be. And how thankful they would be to realize their Catholic God has forgiven them, with their trail, and trial, of an infinity of burnt candles.

Mexicans, especially those in the rural areas, and more the seniors than the youth, have a beautiful way of describing their place. "Mi tierra" they would tell me: "My land, my earth." This visceral expression is more real and more tangible than "my country," "mi pais."

VDare's sin came in increments. Their immigration influencing capabilities are now basically nil. No-one listens to them. Even President Trump has put on hold his "close the borders" mantra on which he got elected.

As I explain in this post discussing a recent VDare article Is It Time For Americans To Start Talking About The Devil?, the Devil lurks around finding devious, clever ways to derail good works.

...there is no article [on VDare] that is exclusive to the praises of God's excellent hand in this American Nation.

Rather, we now have a full expose on the Devil himself.

And those who refuse and abandon the protection and wisdom of God are easy prey. And their missions will never be accomplished.

How the Devil Plays the Game

VDare, about whom I've recently written here, has finally decided to put some Christian, spiritual article on its website, other than as a "War on Christmas" tag (without the Christ and the Christian).

In the article Is It Time For Americans To Start Talking About The Devil? Matthew Richer does an extensive expose on the Devil, and why we should acknowledge his presence.

But confronting the Devil becomes the final frontier in saving America, not presenting the grace of God. To my knowledge, and I've searched through the extensive articles written for/by/against VDare, there is no article that is exclusive to the praises of God's excellent hand in this American Nation.

Rather, we now have a full expose on the Devil himself.

Via The Thinking Housewife:



“CASES” are climbing. That’s because more people are being tested as they go back to work. But there is no significant increase in deaths.

Heather Mac Donald reports at The Spectator:

Since April 24, the daily case count started declining, then began rising again after around June 9. What virtually every fear-mongering story on America’s allegedly precarious situation leaves out, however, is the steadily dropping daily death numbers — from a high of 2,693 on April 21 to 808 on June 24. That April high was driven by New York City and its environs; those New York death numbers have declined, but they have not been replaced by deaths in the rest of the country. This should be good news. Instead, it is no news.

[…]

There are no crises in hospital capacity anywhere in the country. Nursing homes, meat-packing plants, and prisons remain the main sources of new infections. Half the states are seeing cases decline or hold steady. Case counts are affected by more testing; the positive infection rate captured by testing is declining. The current caseload is younger, which is a good thing. The more people who have been infected and who recover, the more herd immunity is created. Meanwhile, daily deaths from heart disease and cancer — about 3,400 a day combined — go ignored in the press.

The situation is likely identical in Canada.

Antisemitism and the Victimhood of Looting Thugs

Above is a screen shot of Peter Brimelow on June 3 at the Berkley Springs Castle, while being interviewed by RamzPaul (what serious adult has a "nickname" RamzPaul - there's a whole "joke" behind it I'm sure, and I'm not interested).

Sir Brimelow, master of the Berkeley Springs Castle, comes looking like one of the (imaginary) hired hands.

Which begs the question: How does one manage a huge property, in four-season West Virginia (Winter snow, Fall leaves, Spring rains, and Summer growths)?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In my last post on the series of posts I've don on the VDare non-reporting on the devastation that the fake COVID has done on the US economy, I wrote on VDare author's Sailer's June 4 post: Cristalnacht in the Fairfax District:

It begs the question: Was the VDare group, realizing that eventually the fake virus would unleash societal upheavals, cleverly deducing that it would become a racial blowup, where blacks would feel even more "oppressed," while whites, even the poor whites, appear to be doing that (little) much better?

I wrote, on Sailer's comment in that article: "The Fairfax neighborhood in West Hollywood, CA is known both for its elderly Jewish population":

As always, the VDare group has some wrong end of the stick. And it usually involves blacks. And a subservient, under-the-radar acknowledgment of Jewish "victimhood." Who exactly finances VDare's big enterprises - e.g.: Their Castle on the Virginia Hills? And who has the deepest, and strongest, vested interest in destroying Christianity?

Sailer is not letting off his Jewish-link, i.e. antisemtic, theory, as an update on his June 4 post.

In his latest article on June 5 at VDare: More on Cristalnacht in West Hollywood, Sailer quotes from Jerusalem Post's June 3 article, Jewish business owners describe vandalism, looting of businesses in LA.

In that article, Jewish business owners describe the vandalism and looting of businesses in LA:

Rosenfeld described the scene late Saturday night with people driving down the Fairfax district streets screaming, “effing Jews,” at them.

Notice that this is the generic "people." Were they whites, Hispanics, blacks? How many? A whole Dionysian mob?

Is it the "antifa" which is effing the Jews?

Well, here is some information:

Israeli-born philanthropist and activist Adam Milstein...said: “The rioters are antifa and Black Lives Matter and they are inherently antisemitic.”

Why anti-semitic? Because they ransacked some stores? No, because:

"...synagogues got tagged and Jewish businesses were looted with [signs saying] ‘Free Palestine’ and ‘Kill the Jews,’ [which] is not a coincidence. The rioters are antifa and Black Lives Matter and they are inherently antisemitic.”

So who at VDare really cares about the fate of blacks, those hundreds of thousands of blacks, who are at at the same mercy, (and even worse), as are whites, of the vicious hands of these hired gun thugs who are rampaging through America's cities?

But Jews are leftists, and "activists," in one form or another, and explains Jonathan Friedman:

....who owns Syd’s Pharmacy, also in the Fairfax area, he’s unclear if he was targeted because he is Jewish or if it’s because looters were after narcotics – all of which were taken from his store.

“It’s frustrating,” he added. “We had no part in this. They had no reason to involve us. I understand the [protesters’] cause. They’re actually right. Someone was murdered and they’re right, but I don’t see where myself and other businesses, that were suffering with corona, have the extra $3,000 to cover the deductible for their insurance, fit into this whole thing.”

Syd "understands" these thug looters, who are victims, don't you know. There can be some excuse for antisemites.

Accelerate the Revolution

The image above comes from Steve Sailer's article on VDare: Cristalnacht in the Fairfax District.

Sailer writes:

The Fairfax neighborhood in West Hollywood, CA is known both for its elderly Jewish population of 1940s refugees and its luxury stores selling conspicuous consumption items that rappers crave, like Cristal champagne.

So the smashing of windows and looting of high end shops on Fairfax and Melrose boulevards could be dubbed Cristalnacht, especially because a small number of the terrorized residents can likely still remember the Kristallnacht of 82 years ago.

Sailer just got on piece of information (fact) wrong:

‘It has come to my attention that the managing director of Cristal, Frédéric Rouzaud, views the “hip-hop” culture as “unwelcome attention”’, said Jay-Z. ‘I view his comments as racist and will no longer support any of his products through any of my various brands, including the 40/40 Club, nor in my personal life.’ [Source: Decanter, June 16 2006]

That was fourteen years ago!

Who knows why Jay-Z chose Cristal? He's into bling bling, has a lot of money to throw around, and his wife Beyonce thinks she's the Queen Bee, who also glitzes her wardrobe with shiny stones. So Cristal might just be a name thing (and a "religion?").


Beyonce crystalled out in her Witchcraft video: Formation

There's a deeper connection, actually, which Sailer might have got to had he not used his race-tinted cool shades. Or, he never meant to report on this.

Both Beyonce and Jay-Z use their "black power" image to project a "neo-black power" occult movement. In fact, all their videos and languages are filled with double meanings, the double, the hidden, being their Illuminati messaging. Their occult stand.

J and Queen B are deeply embroiled in the occult, devil worship.


Skull from Jay Z's "On to the next one" video

Of course, the atheist VDare (and that includes Sailer and Brimelow), who "celebrate" Christmas as a one-up on the religion of the multi-culti and blaspheme against the true celebration of Christ's birth, find nothing wrong with (or at least, nothing to report about) different religious stands. No-where, in any of their reports, do they discuss the Christian implications of immigration (including all those Catholic Mexicans who cross that border). Christianity simply becomes a celebratory prop to distinguish, and elevate, the white Brimelow from those brown Catholics, along with all those other religions. So even Satanism counts as a religion to stand on, and perhaps even better than the others, since it builds towards the destruction of Christianity and the Gotterdammerung, a fresh clean slate for the white West.

As always, the VDare group has some wrong end of the stick. And it usually involves blacks. And a subservient, under-the-radar acknowledgment of Jewish "victimhood." Who exactly finances VDare's big enterprises - e.g.: Their Castle on the Virginia Hills? And who has the deepest, and strongest, vested interest in destroying Christianity?

---------------------------------------------------------

I wrote yesterday (June 4) in my post America-Destroying Entities

There is no attempt by VDare et al., and Faith Goldy, who has regular video posts on Vdare, to delve into the underlying causes of black thuggery. E.g., who exactly is it that funds the "movement?" How do other blacks, and especially the poorest (pregnant women living alone!), fare under the fear of this black underworld of crime and murder, which also viciously attacks them?

But, I had some speculations in previous posts. This time regarding the VDare group's silence on the COVID "crisis" which resulted with the real crisis from the economic shutdowns of whole countries:

But, I discovered that what I wrote earlier still holds: that VDare has no interest in the societal and economic upheaval that this fake pandemic is causing the world[Reclaiming Beauty, May 14, 2020].

What is disconcerting is that VDare has not posted a single coherent piece on the spectacular "lockdown" (a prison term, by the way) on Americans and Canadians, and actually the whole world, on a fake pandemic for a virus that has killed less than the flu virus (and viruses), which originated from an outdoor market in China[Reclaiming Beauty, April 28, 2020].

It begs the question: Was the VDare group, realizing that eventually the fake virus would unleash societal upheavals, cleverly deducing that it would become a racial blowup, where blacks would feel even more "oppressed," while whites, even the poor whites, appear to be doing that (little) much better?

I continue in my May 14 post:

The discussion between Derbyshire and Brimelow [during one of Brimelow's regular interviews with writers and journalists] centered around black crimes on whites, which is the repetitive, mantra-like, redundant postings through which VDare has made its trademark, over the couple of decades it has existed.

I have to speculate whether it is something that they wish for, some kind of racial war, to start the machinations of a global Gotterdammerung, to start their America on a clean, white slate.

Ordinary whites appear to have a complicit head start in the COVID recovery, which the media talking heads, fronted by blacks and whites, tell us. Thus ALL whites appear to prevent blacks from getting their daily bread. And this "narrative" is followed by whites and blacks alike. But the violence of black thugs has nothing to do with their daily bread, COVID or no COVID. And it has nothing to do with "their" race.

Thus, this manipulated "pandemic" became the starting point for the race war that race instigators from all corners and political stripes, and especially the elite leaders, are content to see happening.

It will simply accelerate the revolution toward:

Black subjugation and wipe out

or

White subjugation and wipe out

---------------------------------------------------------

It is a war.

America-Destroying Entities

More posts and analyses at The Thinking Housewife on the "riots." The most recent are here and here.

And perhaps the most revelatory are here and here.

Once again, it is revealing that the "America" websites and bloggers like VDare ("We inform the fight to keep America American") and the Canadian Faith Goldy ("For Christ the King & Country") do not address the issue of the sabotaged blacks, whose criminal members are the front men for larger America-destroying entities.

VDare continues with its vicious "portraits" of black thugs, which ordinary blacks do not support in any manner, and who are in fact, as this black woman points out, its primary victims (pregnant women - think about that).

There is no attempt by VDare et al., and Faith Goldy, who has regular video posts on Vdare, to delve into the underlying causes of black thuggery. E.g., who exactly is it that funds the "movement?" How do other blacks, and especially the poorest (pregnant women living alone!), fare under the fear of this black underworld of crime and murder?

COVID as the Great Delineator

City Centre Lockdown
Photo take Sunday May 17, 2020
By: KPA

The COVID Scamdemic has shown us how easy it is to disrupt and uproot whole countries, whole economies, whole societies.

I took a set of photographs around the Mississauga Civic Centre, and the adjacent Square One Shopping Centre and its parking lots in mid-March, shocked by the parking lots which emptied days after the first announcements of COVID, and posted them on April 9: City Centre Lockdown.

On May 9, a month later, I posted a commentary I wrote in mid-March, which I titled Death through Acquiescence.

Two months later, nothing has changed. Ontario's Premier, Doug Ford, promised of "gradual" openings starting in June, but I'll believe it when I see it.

Those that we trusted as mediators of information, analysts and interpreters of opaque Orwellian language, betrayed us. I can only deduce that they are complicit, either directly through financed support (what else is there?) or through deliberate activity to disrupt and destroy.

Whole cities of grownups have been reduced to infantile acquiescence for a virus that hardly makes it up the Richter scale. Whole economies have bent to the order of shutdowns and lockdowns.

And no-one says anything! Some smugly sit in their dubious castles, others sing praise to Western ingenuity, as their very leaders behave like quivering epileptics, convulsed by invisible spiritual forces.

Lies, lies and more lies is what we've got with COVID, and those we thought we trusted have said NOTHING.

I posted my City Centre Lockdown images on April 9, and wrote Death through Acquiescence in March 17, which I posted on May 9, a month later. I wrote: "The world belongs to us, now. We are the inheritors, and its spokespeople. All else want its destruction."

Now nearing June, my impressions have not changed one iota. And neither has the City Centre Lockdown.

The Iniquities of Immigration

Below is my post from July 4, 2018: The Iniquities of Immigration
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Immigration is the contemporary world's greatest iniquity. From there arises all the adjoining iniquities, the biggest being multiculturalism. The sin of immigration is as much the immigrants' as it is those accepting the immigrants.

In God's design of our world, there is no immigration, as we understand it in our contemporary world: the mass movements of peoples from one region of the world to another, and more specifically from the southern/eastern regions to the western.

Each people has its own country, its own region, its own place, its own home, built and nourished and sustained by its own people, ancestors and those still living. Each people knows how to maneuver and live with the deficiencies of its particular country, and often loves it more because of these struggles and, many times, the victories, small or large.

By immigrating, contemporary people cut off these ties, sever them and often irreparably. They remain in limbo with memories fading further into the recesses of their minds of that beautiful country which gave birth to them and which they so readily abandoned for a few material comforts. This trauma lives on in their children and their grandchildren.

I make a bold suggestion. Let's follow Moses' example. Let us make an Exodus away from the false promise and to the real promise. Our real promised lands.

The Globalists Inc.

The biggest mistake of Trudeau and the Globalists Inc. going down in the socio-political history of the 21st century is that they thought they could re-structure the world.

I still believe the response to COVID ought to be a spiritual one, with the admittance that we ALL made mistakes in our heathen atheism, and where we ask for forgiveness, and redirection by our almighty God.

Still, revolutions are fomenting everywhere, one individual at a time. Throughout the planet.

This blogger agrees with me (or I agree with him):

It's totally counterintuitive to everything they do, they rule with an iron fist and fear. To defeat them we have to do the opposite of their tactics -- promote beauty and love. We have to promote things that truly mean a lot to us and shine our light while we can. And if we set an intention to do this, I know that God will help us.

Brimelow and the Christophobes and Dooming America

Victoria's Secret—A Christmas Victory!
VDare
10/29/2009

We can always find bad news to write about at VDARE.COM, so here's some good news: Victoria's Secret, which sells, well, everyone knows about Victoria's Secret, has just come out with a CHRISTMAS 2009 CATALOG! With "CHRISTMAS 2009" RIGHT ON THE FRONT COVER! (Inspect here).

Not only that, but the model on the cover has BLUE EYES and BLONDE HAIR! Isn't that a Hate Crime, now that Obama has indeed signed the Matthew Shepard Free Speech Suppression Act?

Thank Victoria's Secret. Seriously—the Christophobe crazies will be complaining.

Fortunately, I got the gist of the "immigration" "patriots" and just left them to their space soon after. Of course, though, who said that immigration patriotism doesn't pay dividens.

Why Can't Conservatives Get It Together?
Some passing thoughts
Camera Lucida
Friday, October 30, 2009

Peter Brimelow, founder and editor of Vdare.com, has written a blog on his website about a lingerie company using the word Christmas on their catalog. Not only that, Brimelow graces his blog post with a photo of a woman in Christmas-red underwear.

A group of conservatives (I hate to use that word, because I'm convinced that many of them are variations of libertarians) are attending the The HL Mencken Club 2009 conference. And the conference is titled..."We are Doomed!" with an exclamation mark, no less. It is of course after John Derbyshire new book (with exclamation mark in tact): "We are Doomed! Rediscovering Conservative Pessimism."

Addendum 2020:

Brimelow's point is of course that these Victoria's Secret soft porn lingerie models are blond and blue-eyed. What's showing a little flesh if one advertises those blue eyes?



These people have a knack for picking those perfect - self-destructive - imagery. I already covered that with Ms. Mercer, and, of course, the Derb.
