A Note to the Reader

My Dear Friends,

We would like to thank you all for visiting our site.  We are not going away entirely, but as this site was not intended in its beginning to follow the ‘news of the day’ quite so closely as it has come to do, going forward we will post a bit less frequently on those subjects and focus more on things of an enduring nature.

We hope to see you again soon,

Trying to Start another War with Lies

The Western Elite is desperate to start a war with Russia, whether in Ukraine

http://www.lewrockwell.com/2014/08/paul-craig-roberts/respect-for-truth/

or in Syria. 

So beware the hysterical rantings you are going to hear (and are probably already hearing) from the warmongers in Washington City and their fellow travelers on Fox News, talk radio, etc. over the supposed beheading of James Foley, the Islamic State, etc.  Dave Hodges wrote a good breakdown of what to watch for in his essay ‘The Goal of the ISIS Psyops Is WWIII’.  Keep these things in mind to protect yourself from the lies of the Western powers.  Here is a portion of Mr Hodges’s work.

ISIS is everywhere and America should be paralyzed with fear. ISIS is in Ferguson, they are on Twitter, they are in Iraq and Syria, they are crossing our undefended southern border. They could be carrying Ebola into the country. Stop, stop, stop! Here is a phrase that I would like all Americans to memorize and recite often:

“ISIS is everywhere, because the CIA is everywhere”.

ISIS Is a Classic PSYOPS

America is both shocked and horrified at the video posted  on August 19th, on YouTube,  showing American Journalist, James Foley kneeling next to a man dressed in black. Foley reads a message, presumably written by his captors, that his “real killer” is America.

Foley can be heard saying in the video.  He is then shown being beheaded. ISIS controls vast territory of both Syria and Iraq, and they just posted a video on the Internet of the beheading of an American journalist. America can expect to see much more of the same in order to maximize the PSYOPS that is being directed at American public opinion as we rapidly move towards our date with World War III.

ISIS has released a number of tweets which proclaims they are going to bring to America extreme harm.

#AmessagefromISIStoUS

We are in your state

We are in your cities

We are in your streets

You are our goals anywhere

ISIS had a sign in Ferguson proclaiming that they were present. It looks like America has a lot to be worried about. ISIS is beheading journalists, threatening America on Twitter and displaying signs on the streets of Ferguson, MO.  We should be frightened and now when the next 9/11 false flag attack occurs we know who to blame, don’t we?   And on and on the drum beats on. ISIS is everywhere! Why? Because the CIA is everywhere!

Child-Like Innocence

As some prominent people in American circles would say, “The dumbing down of America is nearly complete”. Most Americans look at current events with the mindset and reasoning ability of a child.

Sorry, but the mental midgets which comprise the majority of the sheep in the country, badly need to Google the word “PSYOP(S)”, but alas, most of our fellow countrymen could not be pulled from the couch, and the upcoming NFL season, long enough to be bothered with the looking up of even this one term. For those who are too busy to familiarize yourself with the term and possess a decided lack of common sense needed to understand when you and your country are the victim of the process, please allow me to save you the time and trouble.

PSYOPS or Psychological Operations: “Planned operations to convey selected information and indicators to foreign audiences to influence their emotions, motives, objective reasoning, and ultimately the behavior of foreign governments, organizations, groups, and individuals. The purpose of psychological operations is to induce or reinforce foreign attitudes and behavior favorable to the originator’s objectives. Also called PSYOP. See also consolidation psychological operations; overt peacetime psychological operations programs; perception management.

 (Source: U.S. Department of Defense).

We might be well-advised to replace our current national mindset, which is being conditioned by the present CIA sponsored PSYOPS which is inundating us with the belief that “We (ISIS) are everywhere”, and replace this child-like thinking with some fact-based information.

ISIS Is Not Three Years Old: The MSM’s Phony Timeline Related to Terrorism In Iraq and Syria

Syria has seen terrorist groups operating in their country for over three years.  These terrorist groups are operating with the approval of the war mongers in Washington DC and their allies in London and Paris. These terrorist groups are operating with the full knowledge and backing of NATO and their allies in the Gulf, namely Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

Southern Independence Ain’t Just for ‘White People’

Most Northerners have never had any particular love for blacks; many of their pre-war State constitutions, which made it nearly impossible for free blacks to live a decent life in those States, bear that out well enough.  The Northern Elite especially have had a virulent dislike for black folks (and for ‘backward’ Southern whites, who have never much minded their being here amongst us):

http://confiterijournal.blogspot.com/2014/01/northern-racism.html

This Yankee-inspired hatred, this desire to cull the undesirables from the earth, is once again being displayed for all to see, this time in the federally approved MMR vaccine that has proved extremely harmful for black children:

(NaturalNews) Yesterday I wrote that Natural News is investigating a report of a massive scientific cover-up perpetrated at the very highest levels of the CDC.

Today I can report that I now have in my possession CDC documents which prove beyond any doubt that the former head of the CDC, Dr. Julie Gerberding, actively participated in willful scientific fraud in order to bury clinical evidence linking the MMR vaccine to a 340% increase in autism among African-American children.

Yes, the CDC knew that MMR vaccines caused autism in black babies, and its top scientists actively conspired to cover up that fact for the last twelve years.

 . . .

What is especially heinous and disturbing about these revelations is that the CDC had in its possession irrefutable data linking MMR vaccines to autism in African-American children.

The agency then went out of its way to retroactively alter the study data to commit scientific fraud which they knew would bring harm to countless African-American babies. Today, there are untold thousands of young black children and teens who grew up with autism disorders due entirely to the CDC's willful scientific fraud. Rather than warning the public about the autism risk of MMR vaccines, the CDC deliberately chose to hide this fact, all while lying to the African-American community by telling them "vaccines are safe!"

In essence, the CDC has perpetrated what can only be called "vaccine violence against blacks," knowing that black babies would be seriously and permanently harmed by these vaccines yet doing absolutely nothing to warn the public or require safer vaccines from drug companies. To the CDC, black babies are always expendable.

 . . .

This cover-up has continued for the last twelve years, during which anyone who dared mention the word "autism" in the same sentence as "vaccines" was immediately and viciously attacked by the scientific community, vaccine trolls and the mainstream media. Yet all this time, the CDC's highest officers were fully aware that the MMR vaccine autism link was real. And it was black babies who were suffering the consequences of the cover-up.

Yes, a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri shot one black man and killed him, but the CDC allowed doctors to shoot up millions of black babies with dangerous vaccines that have caused untold pain, suffering and permanent damage across the African American community. The audacity and scale of this crime against humanity is almost unspeakable.

No, Southern independence would not be good only for the descendants of the English and the Celts, the French Huguenots and the Spaniards and the Germans; it would manifestly be to the great good of our African brothers and sisters as well, who would no longer have to live under a federal government run by creepy, eugenics-obsessed Yankees intent on wiping them out.

Whatever reconciliation remains to be done between whites and blacks here in the South, let us see to it as quickly as possible, that we might all have done the sooner with the evils gushing forth from that accursed swamp on the Potomac.

The Heresy of Worldly Comfort

This heresy the South was born into, as Richard Beale Davis reveals to us in his masterwork Intellectual Life in the Colonial South 1585-1763:

By the 1585, British eyes saw the area they would settle as a terrestrial paradise, implicitly a tropical or semi­-tropical paradise. For most it was a new Eden, another land of Canaan. For some it was more nearly a pagan Arcadia which might be brought to Christ at the same time it became a comfortable and even luxurious home for Europeans (bolding added -- W.G.).

Source:  Brion McClanahan, ‘The Oldest South’, http://www.abbevilleinstitute.org/blog/the-oldest-south/, posted 12 August 2014, accessed 20 August 2014

Life in Christ and worldly comfort can have no fellowship.  Yet this is the heresy most of the Western European nations and their offspring have fallen to, because of their rejection of the True God and True Faith and True Church for human-ruled organizations called Roman Catholic and Protestant churches.  These, having lost full communion with the Most Holy Trinity, have substituted the ‘kingdom of goods’ (St Nikolai Velimirovich) for the Kingdom of Heaven.

What the South and all the Western nations need is a re-evaluation of comfort - and of suffering.  About such Gabe Martini writes in ‘Carrying the Cross and Suffering in Hope’:

 . . . A falsehood spread throughout the broader Christian world today is that God adopts us into his family without anything expected of us. Or even worse, we are promised a better life, happiness, and even material wealth or worldly success. But this is really the opposite of what the scriptures promise. Paul again reminds us that “we were saved by hope” (Rom. 8:24). Our salvation is not realized immediately, nor is it a ‘flip of the switch’ in one’s mental assent of faith, but is rather a journey that begins in Baptism and is consummated on the Last Day. And until that day, we are awaiting our true salvation. From the beginning of our salvation journey to the end is a whole lifetime of trials, temptations, suffering, discipline, asceticism, struggle, and growth.

Being “saved in hope” also means knowing in whom we place our trust:

Who shall separate us form the love of Christ? Affliction, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? . . . But in all these things we more than conquer through the One Who loved us. —Rom. 8:35,37

While we are almost guaranteed a life marked by affliction, distress, persecution, famine, nakedness, danger, and sword, we have assurance of victory through the love of Christ. Our hope is in him. He is our assurance, just as he is true Life.

Since we are guaranteed as much, our prayer should be to see suffering transformed into salvation. As Elder Paisios has said:

In every test, let us say: “Thank you, my God, because this was needed for my salvation.”

Similarly, Fr. Seraphim Rose:

Only struggle a little more. Carry your cross without complaining. Don’t think you are anything special. Don’t justify your sins and weaknesses, but see yourself as you really are. And, especially, love one another.

When faced with struggle or temptation, ask God that we might struggle a little more. Give thanks to God that we are being provided an opportunity for our sanctification and salvation in him. Look to Christ as a source of strength—as one who suffered all, and yet without sin. Consider the lives of the Saints, who have imaged Christ in their own struggles.

In the end, remember that Christ didn’t suffer so that we wouldn’t have to. He suffered, died, and conquered death-by-death so that we could handle suffering with him. Casting our lot with Christ is a calling to suffering, a calling to carry a Cross—whether great or small.

But through Christ, through the mysteries of the Church, and through our own individual struggle and ascesis, we can live as co-heirs of him, prepared for future glory.

May we in the South learn once more the incomparable value of suffering together with our Crucified and Risen Lord for the sake of our salvation, that we too might arise in the Glory of the Holy Ghost on the day of Christ’s return.

From Iraq to Our Own Cities, Towns, and Villages

The transnational Elite and their enablers across the Union have very much succeeded in turning local police forces into military units outright.  These pictures say it all.

The top shows Baghdad, Iraq; the bottom, Ferguson, Missouri.

Thankfully, some concern is beginning to be shown across the political spectrum, from Sen Rand Paul to Rep Hank Johnson.

http://www.infowars.com/congressman-wants-to-curb-military-surplus-program/

http://time.com/#3111474/rand-paul-ferguson-police/

But Southerners and those in the other States had better not wait for the federal government to fix a problem they created.  We need to work peacefully within our own States and localities to de-militarize the police and set up other protections for the law abiding plain folk, black and white.  For the Elite even now are planning on how to divide and conquer and destroy what good remains in the [u]nited States.

Wendell Berry on Invading Iraq

As the [u]nited States embark on yet another invasion of Iraq, it is worth recalling the words of Caintuck’s talented poet, essayist, novelist, and farmer Wendell Berry, which he penned at the start of the American Empire’s first invasion of that country in 1991.  The sickness of the typical self-righteous American soul described so well by Mr Berry below, dismayingly, has not improved very much in the intervening years.  And that does not bode well for anyone in the world.

Sabbath Poem I from 1991

The year begins with war.

Our bombs fall day and night,

Hour after hour, by death

Abroad appeasing wrath,

Folly, and greed at home.

Upon our giddy tower

We’d oversway the world.

Our hate comes down to kill

Those whom we do not see,

For we have given up

Our sight to those in power

And to machines, and now

Are blind to all the world.

This is a nation where

No lovely thing can last.

We trample, gouge, and blast;

The people leave the land;

The land flows to the sea.

Fine men and women die,

The fine old houses fall,

The fine old trees come down:

Highway and shopping mall

Still guarantee the right

And liberty to be

A peaceful murderer,

A murderous worshipper,

A slender glutton, Forgiving

No enemy, forgiven

By none, we live the death

Of liberty, become

What we have feared to be.

Why Now? -- Part II

One more possible reason that America/Western Europe are now paying more attention to Iraq and calling for her Prime Minister al-Maliki to be sacked, etc.:  Iraq is growing very friendly with Russia, buying some significant military weaponry from them. 

http://news.yahoo.com/russia-delivering-weapons-iraq-report-204458029.html

The Western Empire surely is not happy that one of its puppet states is no longer showing complete submission to its will (nor patronizing its military-industrial contractors).

Help for Iraqi Christians: Why Now?

The Christian communities of Iraq have been under continual assault since the ‘liberation’ of that country by the American Empire and the so-called Coalition of the Willing in 2003.  Yet few have paid them any mind until now.  What has changed?

Sadly, as is so often the case with the [u]nited States and Western European countries, the motivation isn’t a sterling love for mankind or deep devotion to Christ and His Church, but, rather, their own material self-interest.  The rescuing of Christians, Yazidis, and others trapped on a mountain near Erbil is only a conventient mask for their efforts to protect the oil interests of transnational corporations friendly with America and the West:

 . . . The U.S. and France have never lifted a finger to protect the Kurds. Indeed, the U.S. has actively betrayed the Kurds and let them be slaughtered. For example, during the Gulf War, the U.S. called on the Kurds to rise up against Saddam (implying that he would protect them), but then let Saddam slaughter the Kurds en masse.

So why are the U.S. and France moving now to protect Erbil?

Because Erbil has now become a major oil center. The Kurdish government estimates that the region is the world’s 9th largest oil producer.

Oil companies from around the world operate in Kurdistan, including (major oil companies are indicated in bold, U.S. and French oil companies in italics):

Yup … with Chevron, Exxon, Marathon, Hess and Total operating major facilities in Erbil, the latest Iraq war is also about oil … as confirmed by the New Yorker, New Republic and Vox.

For those who don’t believe that Iraqi oil is driving foreign policy, take a look at what Brookings wrote in June:

It should be obvious that a key consideration for the United States arising from [the seizure of huge swaths of Iraq by ISIS] is its potential to affect Iraqi oil production.

***

Any significant disruption of current Iraqi oil production or long-term diminution in its expected growth could have major repercussions for the U.S. economy.

Kurdistan also possesses approximately 89% of all Iraqi natural gas reserves. And so the West – including France – is eager to protect Kurdish hydrocarbons from falling into the hands of ISIS.

Postscript: Indeed, virtually all U.S. wars involve a fight over hydrocarbons.

It will be interesting to see how the BRICSA nations (who also have some holdings in the Kurdish region, as shown above) respond to this latest effort of the Western elite and their neo-con servants (Sen Lindsey Graham, Bill O’Reilly, Hannity, etc.) to make the world safe for democracy (i.e., corporate colonialism).
