At the Root

I’ll put this very succinctly. As Dostoevsky used to stress, left ideologies ultimately have their root in atheism. So this is essentially at war with the sacred, insofar as it admits its existence. If there is no God, there is no sin, the individual desire is an absolute and all is permitted.” So why is abortion a “sacred” issue for leftism/progressivism or whatever we call it? Because abortion is one of the strongest played out statements that there is no sin. 

Relativism

Why is something wrong, say intellectually? Because it contradicts what us right. This is very obvious in mathematics which of course rests on the foundation of truth. Thus 3+3=6, not 7. Relativism is the exact inversion of truth where all answers are valid, it’s so inclusive, and here the genuine truth is actually the problem as it doesn’t allow all these other “truths”, such as 3+3=7, to be true. Instead actual truth is now the bigoted oppressor of inclusivity and tolerance. We even have Bill Gates apparently funding the pushing of the idea that mathematics is racist, which is a perfect illustration of this spirit - truth is the problem and must be dethroned.

The devil is said to be “the ape of God” who has no creativity in himself, but instead imitates, distorts and inverts truth. And basically this is exactly the nature of relativism, which could be considered the spirit of “the world.” And the only answer to lies is truth. I saw a story a few days ago where a man in his 60s in Scotland was turned away from donating blood because he refused to answer whether he was pregnant. He refused to degrade himself by dwelling within the domain of lies, whereas to the relativist ideology, wokeism, he shows himself to be an intolerant bigot because he insisted on truth which doesn’t allow for the false to be true. So as said above, this is the exact inversion of truth where truth is the problem because it doesn’t allow the false to be true.

And so relativism, when pushed along a bit towards its implications and conclusions, is essentially the dethroning of truth and exaltation of falseness.

Wow

 

Holy crap! You can’t talk to the media like that surely. They deserve our respect, our faith and our love - surely not simply our utter contempt.

Revelation, Fr Heers

 I found this very worth watching from Orthodox priest Fr Peter Heers from a series focusing on the Book of Revelation, including the lens it places on the ever more weird current events - pregnant men anyone? The relevant talk begins about 14:45 into the video. It is in turn based on writings frlm 40 or so years ago by Athanasios Mitilinaios.

Garden

“If you don’t look after your garden, what happens?”

“Everything dies?”

“No. It goes wild.”

Straight

“What’s the shortest route between two points?”

“A straight line.”

“Yes, but only if the straight line is lined up correctly. If it’s misaligned, it’ll take you somewhere completely different. Your straight line will end up being the longest route.”

“That’s true. I didn’t think of that.”

Satan

“What do you think of Satan - do you think he’s cool?”

“No. He’s a cunt.”

Whatever

Whatever you do don’t read this. 

I admit that was a pretty useless piece of advice, but at least I tried. You shouldn’t have bothered trying, you might think, if that’s the kind of effort you come up with, and yes, that might be fair enough.

Self-sufficiency

A man, filled with pride and self-belief, was determined to be self-sufficient, “not bowing down to anything or anyone”, and the greatest statement and realisation of this self-sufficiency, he decided, would be to live without breathing. “Breathing implies subjugation. I will either create my own air or learn to live without it.” However he didn’t manage to achieve either, and in the end, after almost endless torments of shame and rage and so on, he gave in and even, strangely, began to feel that this dependency wasn’t perhaps so shameful after all and all this air was even quite pleasant.

Napoleon

“So you’re getting on ok working in the psychiatric hospital?”

“Oh yes. It can obviously be challenging but I’m finding it very rewarding.”

“And tell me about that inmate you said who thinks he’s Napoleon Bonaparte.”

“Well the problem is his thoughts are misaligned with external reality.”

“Putting it mildly. So do you think you can help him?”

“Of course. What we need to do is help bring his thoughts and external reality into closer alignment.”

“And how are you going to manage that - what kinds of therapy?”

“Mainly plastic surgery.”

“What?!”

“Since the thoughts in his head are identifying as Napoleon, we need to bring his physical appearance into alignment with those thoughts. And with the advancements in plastic surgery, we think we can get his appearance and those thoughts quite close to each other.”

“But those thoughts are mental! You need to help his mental well-being, have his thoughts at one with the physical world, not the other way round.”

“That’s a very bigoted and reactionary view. We in the psychiatric establishment take a far more compassionate view of things. Height will unfortunately always be a bit of an issue - he is quite a tall man and of course Napoleon was short - but with the right clothes and the bouts of surgery, we think we should be able to do wonders for his quality of life. It hardly needs saying, we will officially change his name to Napoleon also.”

Work

“There’s workers outside.”

“What are they doing?”

“Making noise.”

“Yes, but what work are they actually doing?”

“Well I haven’t looked but as far as I know they’re just making noise.”

“That can’t be right! The noise is only a consequence of the work. It’s not the work itself!”

“Maybe you’re right. I’ll have a proper look later when I go out.”

Is that a parable or a joke or what? I’ve no idea. I’ll allow it to live anyway apart from me feeling I need to figure it out first!

Gifted

Someone was gifted a beautiful piece of furniture, but he couldn’t find space for it and so it was left outside.

Thoughts are Portals

Say you’re sitting in silence and into this silence comes a thought of, let’s say a football result, ok, I’ll check on it, it will only take a few seconds, then twenty minutes later you’re immersed in sport, one irrelevant article to another - so the thought that poked its way into the silence was a portal into whatever pathway and world. All kinds of thoughts obviously can be there instead from the seemingly semi-benign distractions to the obviously toxic. I’m sure we can also include thought on the creative, constructive side of things but anyway we see we don’t have to go to science-fiction to enter the world of portals! 

And just to point out that this is exactly the nature of thought as temptation in the negative sense.

New Paganism

 The division of spirit and flesh isn’t so clearcut as may be considered within crude mental constructs, but anyway here to have a quick look at the general nature of paganism and how it involves worship and subservience to the elements, as in aspects of the natural world deified as spiritual entities. Thus one worships the sun, the wind, the spirit of the forest and so on. So here a sense of spirituality is coloured by one’s existence on the natural or biological plane and desire to survive and prosper within it; and so ultimately it is more a religion of a kind of materialism or the material world rather than the spiritual and God as spirit in the highest and unimaginable sense, which gives birth to the natural, which has no power to create itself.

In New Age spirituality, one of the most notable intellectual aspects is the replacement of God as the highest force with “the Universe”, and with the unspoken sense that nothing harmful is being done here, and if this was fleshed out, the underlying idea is that in fact we are freeing ourselves from an oppressive thought of God as a spiritual dictator, a thought that also depending on our particular belief system divides  us, and that “The Universe” is comparatively all-embracing and without such negative connotations. 

The Universe though is simply the world of elements, all now lumped together into a totality, and so that pagan, materialist  worldview is simply unified into one power rather than many individual spiritual powers - Sun, Moon, etc. So ultimately this is a descent from the spirit into this impure mix of spiritualism and materialism. And one could say this overthrow of God is an embedded desire or realised temptation within it. 

Remember to carry out scientific experiments involving say gases, one has to be very precise in the elements used, and one’s methods. Otherwise one gets impure and ultimately false results. The same applies with the spirit. Tarnished thoughts will push onwards onto impure results.

The Azovs

An interesting and exciting release by new band The Azovs, titled Hardcore Soft Core. Lyrics from the chorus below:

I used to be a hardcore Nazi

But I’ve seen the error of my ways 

And now I’m gonna be a gay communist

For the rest of my days.

Pope Francis is said to be a big fan.

More Underworld - Cool Kids of Death

 

Underworld’s remix of Cool Kids of Death by Saint Etienne, from 1995. I don’t think I’ve even heard the actual original song by Saint Etienne, but I’d not be surprised if it doesn’t have a whole lot of resemblance to Underworld’s offshoot.

Spanish

This post is written in English but is identifying as Spanish so I encourage you to translate it, using whatever means, into that language as a mark of respect. I don’t know Spanish and to be honest am insufficiently motivated anyway to try to do the translating mentioned myself, regardless of how intensely I feel about this issue as a whole.

Tony

Tony Blair’s creative juices are seemingly in full flow as suggested by his newest release, an aggressive disco funk number titled Got Me Wound Up Like a Bitch. The B-side is I Still Know My Way Round the Clubs.

Nazis No More

 

It appears Nazism wasn’t cutting it in Ukraine so the Ukrainian Nazis - that is unless their Nazi symbolism was merely a fashion statement - have decided to go big on gay, lesbian, etc symbolism instead. As military tactics go this is revolutionary thinking. It remains to be seen though whether this rapid shift from far-right ideology to what seems to be modern far-left ideology will be effective as well as revolutionary. 

“It’s interesting isn’t it how the leftists, all so sincere in their concern with the good and true, and obviously so obsessed with hating the evil incarnate far right, even defining themselves for example as Antifa,  anti-Fascist … well when they finally came across the real genuine hardcore far-right, guys actually using Nazi symbolism and ideology, it turned out they seemed to love these Nazis with all their souls.”

“Yeah, that was a bit odd all right. And they’d go mad if anyone pointed out these Nazis were actually Nazis. They’d accuse them of all kinds of things.”

“Confusing stuff. It’s almost like all their sincerity turned out to mean absolutely nothing.”

Boat

“If a boat is sinking, water pouring in, you know what the problem is?”

“The water.”

“No, the leak. A boat is always surrounded by water, but that doesn’t mean it has to pour in. And if there is a leak, the water will pour in. It’s very simple.”

False Flags Forever

 

I think it’s been a pretty open secret for a long time that certain incidents are pretty obvious false flag, order from chaos, operations with very obvious goals in mind - the disarming of the public being the solution to the created chaos so that all the power is now in the hands of the totalitarian government against the citizenry, who are now basically helpless beneath the corrupt state and whatever they choose to impose. So no surprise that the latest two such incidents in the US are as typically suspect as one might by now expect.

Musical Entry

Looks like Barack Obama wants a slice of the music action, and has a soulful single coming out titled: Never Thought I Could Love Somebody Half As Much As I Love Myself. This will be released simply using the artist name “Barack” (including the inverted commas).

Map

“If you were going somewhere would you prefer to have an inaccurate map or no map?”

“It would depend on where I was going.”

Isaac Fanous

 

Martyrdom of St Mark and The Crucifixion by Isaac Fanous, 1919 - 2007, an Egyptian who painted in what is termed a Modern Coptic style, after the iconographic tradition of the Coptic Church.

Oldest

The world’s oldest man, George Soros, has tested positive for being a megalomaniac, satanic psychopath, and also worryingly for monkey pox. If only they can develop a completely safe vaccine in time to save him. Ironically, Soros has always apparently gotten on well with monkeys.

Track Me Now

 

Donald Trump Jnr’s response to one of the benevolent overlords at the World Economic Forum (“You will own nothing”) talking of the ability now to implement total surveillance of the public’s external activities, for the best of reasons of course - to save the world, there’s no better reason than that. Naturally you’d have to be a criminal degenerate not to wish to do your part in saving the world, and letting the overlords’ minions track everything you do. And also naturally, for security reasons, it would be unwise and unnecessary to track the overlords’ themselves activities and their slightly enormously bigger carbon footprints as they stomp their way around this wonderful world of ours. Otherwise people might draw unfair conclusions that could jeopardise everything. That’s why Trump Jnr’s response is so typically toxic: doesn’t he know we have a world to save, and if we have to enslave the masses to do that, then that’s what has to be done. And no, we shouldn’t start with first tracking everyone at the World Economic Forum first. What would that serve, apart from exposing unimaginable levels of hypocrisy. We all know there’s quite large quantities of hypocrisy in the world. That doesn’t mean we should go looking at it.

The King of Freudian Slips

This is so off the scale, you’d have to wonder about divine intervention. If only Donald Trump hadn’t have come along, the US could have had the back and forth of Clintons, Bushes and the gang on till the crack of doom. Oh those innocent days of yesteryear.

Another Book

For all literature fans out there, Barack Obama has yet another new book out, and this one is titled I Am a Child of the Future - Heal My Pain. 

Unstoppable

Tony Blair has just released his newest single, I and the World Are One.

Civil War

Why do civil wars so frequently follow successful wars of independence - where rather than enjoy this new freedom from a foreign ruler and generally oppressor, so often divisions immediately lead to more war. People can point to the particular details that lead to such divisions and strife, but I think the real  or deeper reason is you can’t just neatly put a lid on the kind of very powerful, violent energies that have been let loose during war, regardless of whether the cause that instigated them has seemingly been won. Similarly you can’t just ask a gambling addict why doesn’t he just quit his self-harming addiction since it doesn’t make rational sense for him to go on with it.

Camp Preference

“Which would you prefer - to be in a concentration camp run by the far left or by the far right?”

“I don’t think I’d have much in the way of preference.”

“But while if you were in one run by the far right you’d just be a victim of evil, if you were in one run by the far left, you’d still have the joyful consolation of knowing this was part of a beautiful project leading to future bliss for everyone worthy of living in this future bliss.”

“And what about everyone not deemed worthy?”

“Well they end up in the concentration camps, but they’d realise, if they had a conscience, that they’d still be playing their part in some sense for the future. Like manure. So which camp now would you prefer to be in?”

“I still don’t think I’d have much preference either way.”

“God, you’re stubborn!”

Song of Life

 

The Steppin’ Razor mix here by Underworld of a track by Leftfield from 1992. Preferably give it a bit of volume.

Hottest Ticket in Rock

U2 have just announced they will soon be embarking on their Tax Exiles for Freedom World Tour. Bono bestowed the following words, along with permission to faithfully reproduce them, to certain members of the press whose presence was deemed merited on grounds of both journalistic and spiritual integrity: “Tax exiles are some of the most vulnerable, victimised and misrepresented peoples on this beautiful Mother Earth. These adrift and scattered souls, these beautiful children of our beautiful Mother Earth, are punished for their success and are forced to flee from persecution to these tax havens, these so-called safe places, which are safe in name only. These exiles’ culture and past have been ripped from them, and now they lie, naked and exposed on the slab of modernity, their extreme wealth offering them but the flimsiest protection from the prying eyes of a cruel world. We, the rock group U2, want to let these displaced peoples know they too now have a voice. And some of them are our neighbours.”

Milk

“If you were about to pour fresh milk from a container into a jug, but then you noticed that the milk that was already in the bottom of the jug was sour and lumpy, what would you do? You’d smash the jug, wouldn’t you?”

“No, why would I smash it?!”

“You’d hardly just pour the lovely fresh milk in on top of the sour stuff, would you?”

“I’d clean out the jug, and after a good wash then I’d pour the fresh milk into it.”

“Oh.”

Not Going

This is not going to be satirical. When is it not going to be satirical? In the future I suppose. But what about in the present - is it going to be satirical then? I can’t say about that. I thought I’d covered everything, but it turns out I hadn’t really covered anything.
