Walk out of work. Ditch school. March into your streets everywhere in America in protest of the unprecedented loss of freedom that has occurred in the world since the COVID-19 pandemic was announced. Take pictures, forward them to mayors, politicians, governors, etc.
America needs brave citizens to peacefully refuse to comply with unlawful and unethical edicts that for the past year and a half that have been allowed to trump individual rights and freedoms. Nuremburg Code laws have been trampled. What Americans never thought would have is happening. We must apply the brakes.
Join Southwest airline pilots who have put their jobs on the line. Join firefighters and police officers across the country who stand up for freedom. Go to local town halls, court houses, their department of education or state capitols or any high-profile, high-traffic area. Any location works and no event is too small or too large.
Ungodly forces not in keeping with our Constitutional guarantees and liberties are forcing school children to be vaccinated when they are naturally immune to COVID-19 infection. There is no benefit to vaccination for these already over-vaccinated children.
Children’s Health Defense has released data from the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) received 818,044 reports of injury following COVID vaccination including 17,128 deaths. You won’t find these numbers at major news media sites.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., CHD Board Chair and Lead Counsel: “No government in history has ever surrendered power in the absence of a demand. We need to tell these governments and their friends in the technocracy, the Silicon Valley billionaire boys club, the mainstream media, and the pharmaceutical industry that we will no longer tolerate their trampling of citizens’ rights.”
Government will take all of our rights away, but only if we let them.

YOU’VE BEEN CONNED
COVID-19 VACCINES WORK, BUT FOR THE WRONG REASONS
You should be receiving vaccines that create antibodies and T-cells against a coronavirus. Instead you are getting a pretend vaccine that instills 40 trillion RNA/DNA particles to make SPIKE PROTEIN that produces antibodies and T-cells against SPIKE PROTEIN, not specifically against CORONAVIRUS!
While the RNA/DNA vaccine does increase immunity, the effect is only temporary and continual booster shots will be needed for the remainder of life.
Following vaccination, spike protein will be produced abnormally in cells that line the inside of your blood vessels and will induce imperceptible blood clots in small arteries which may raise blood pressure and eventually lead to heart failure. Some cardiologists say this happens 60% of the time. This is happening now in children who are vaccinated. DON’T LET THEM VACCINATE YOUR CHILDREN!

Were the 2021 Virginia Democrats Afraid to reuse the “300,000 Votes [that] Magically appeared for Joe Biden in the Middle of the Night” in 2020 Biden Steal?
LifeNews.com@LifeNewsHQ·Glenn Youngkin’s pro-life stance gave him a 12% advantage over Terry McAuliffe with voters who cited abortion as their top issue. In a race that he won by 2.1%, that’s a huge help. [https://twitter.com/LifeNewsHQ/status/1455919508258967553]
It appears that the 2021 Virginia Democrats were afraid with the whole nation looking to reuse the “300,000 votes [that] magically appeared for Joe Biden in the middle of the night” in the 2020 Biden Steal according to Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft. He thinks it may have been a “head-fake by Democrats on the American public”:
On Tuesday Glenn Youngkin won the governor’s race in Virginia. He was an impressive candidate and it was a stunning win.
As Joe Hoft reported earlier today — One year ago 300,000 votes magically appeared for Biden in the middle of the night to give him the win in Virginia. These magical votes have yet to be explained. The Democrats, fake news and even the Republican Party are incurious.
So where were the magical votes this year? Was this omission on purpose? Was this part of a larger psyop on the American public? Was this part of their game? Throw in McAuliffe as a sacrificial lamb knowing they can steal any future election at will?
Never forget that the 2020 Joe Biden “win” was a steal or better yet a heist of biblical proportions:
Last year, The Catholic Monitor was greatly honored to post, with permission, the full November editorial on the 2020 presidential election, “A Biblical Heist!,” of the most influential Traditionalist Catholic journal in the United Kingdom, the Christian Order, by its editor Rod Pead:
A Biblical Heist!
THE EDITOR
The portentous Freudian slip:
“We have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organisation in the history of American politics.”
– Joe Biden, 24 October
The portent realised:
“We have just been through the most corrupt election in American history. I think a threshold has been crossed. Those who watched this travesty will never again fully trust the election process as it is practiced in America.”
– R. Emmett Tyrrell, Editor-in-Chief, The American Spectator
Operation Big Steal, the CIA-Mockingbird Media’s latest psy-op, aimed at convincing the entire world that Joe Biden is the new President of the United States, rages on as I write. That votes are still being counted, recounts are to be held, and a plethora of lawsuits are being filed by the Trump team — based on voluminous evidence of voter fraud and electoral law violations that would shame a Banana Republic — has all been waved away with the same arrogant disregard that defines Soros and IPPF-funded placemen who hold their public oaths to uphold the U.S. Constitution in contempt.
Epic and flagrant
In keeping with 2016, when the same Democratic playbook was followed, the fix is in. Only this time, with the pain of that failure still raw four years on, the fraud was heightened to truly Pythonesque levels. A minute sampling:
The Trump recount team in key states “plans to present evidence that Democrats were using dead people to steal electoral college votes from the president” [Newsmax, 8/11/20].
The chairwoman of the Republican Party in Michigan informed a 6 November press conference that software provided by Dominion Voting Systems that caused thousands of Trump votes to go to Biden was used across several dozen counties: “In Antrim County, ballots were counted for Democrats that were meant for Republicans, causing a 6,000-vote swing against our candidates. … We have now discovered that 47 counties used this same software in the same capacity.”
Although Dominion Voting Systems insist on the reliability of their software, a letter of 13 November signed by Michigan State Senators Lana Theis and Tom Barrett, and forwarded to the Michigan Secretary of State (the person who must certify the election in that state), also noted that “at least one other Secretary of State, specifically in Texas, refused to certify Dominion Voting Systems for use because the examiner could not verify that the system was ‘safe from fraudulent or unauthorized manipulation’.”
Among “allegations that election officials critically mishandled numerous ballots,” the two Senators listed the following:
counted ineligible ballots;
counted the same batches of ballots multiple times;
instructed poll workers to backdate absentee ballots;
counted late ballots after illicitly pre-dating them;
used false information to process ballots, such as using incorrect or false birthdays to and inserted new names into the QVF [Michigan’s voter registration database] and recorded these new voters as having a birthdate of 1/1/1900;
accepted ballots deposited in drop boxes after the deadline;
duplicated ballots illegally;
counted ballots even though the voter’s name did not appear in the official voter rolls;
ordered workers to not verify voters’ signatures on absentee ballots;
barred poll challengers from observing the transposition and certification of absentee ballots that need to be transposed, including military ballots; and
coached voters to vote for a particular candidate and party.
The Senators went on to inform the State Secretary of further, jaw-dropping allegations:
[T]here are allegations unsecured ballots arrived at the TCF Center loading garage, outside of sealed ballot boxes, without any chain of custody, and without envelopes. According to the allegation, this included a batch of 40,000 ballots that arrived early Wednesday morning from out-of-state vehicles after officials said all ballots arrived. All of these ballots were allegedly for one candidate.
Also listed in the letter were multiple “allegations of illegal and official intimidation with lawful election challengers and poll watchers, which is an essential aspect of election integrity” (e.g., “removal of challengers from the site if they politely voiced a challenge”).
Concerning all of the above, the senators assured the Secretary of State: “Each of these allegations is backed up by sworn affidavits of over 100 Michigan citizens, real people, willing to face legal consequences to their lives and livelihoods to stand by their assertions.”
Patrick Colbeck, a former Michigan state senator and official poll watcher tasked with overseeing the Republican poll observers (who were kept so far from the counting that they were unable to observe and validate it) told LifeSiteNews that anybody who claims “an election victory on the basis of what happened, particularly in the state of Michigan and in the Detroit Absent Voter [AV] counting board, should not be claiming any sort of victory at all. Because I’m telling you, the fraud that we witnessed, the interference … are going to knock the socks off of people [who] may think that this is just a matter of the vote that’s been cast, move on, there’s nothing to see here. … [S]ome of the chief election officials seemed to be intent on interfering with actual oversight activities of our officials, which is blatantly against the law. And that interference did not start on election day, November 3 — it started well before that.”
In Detroit, “election officials were covering windows into the absentee ballot counting center and cheering the removal of Republican observers.”
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who is assisting the Trump campaign with its legal pursuit of election fraud, said that in Pennsylvania as many as 650,000 unlawful ballots were cast in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh alone. (At the time of writing, Biden led Trump in Pennsylvania by just under 54,000 votes.)
There was much additional ‘workaday fraud’ — such as casting multiple votes on behalf of one person (also rife in 2016, as Democrat operatives in New York boasted to Project Veritas undercover reporters), and the casting of votes by the dead (resurrected especially for the occasion) and by those ineligible to vote (e.g., not resident in a state for a mandated period).
And of course “ballot dumps”: boxes stuffed with thousands of pre-prepared Biden ballots delivered in the dead of night during and after the election to slash huge Trump leads.
Grassroots indignation
Despite the media covering over such flagrant fraud, keeping the nation in the dark while calling the election for Biden, a Rasmussen poll of 10 November still showed Donald Trump’s approval rating in the week since the election up 3% (to 52%) and his disapproval rating down 3% (to 47%). From the poll findings, author and columnist Daniel Flynn drew the logical conclusion:
Most Americans do not believe that Joe Biden legitimately won the presidential election. Forty-nine percent told pollster Scott Rasmussen that he did. Thirty-four percent believe Trump won. Sixteen percent describe themselves as “not sure.” Given this lack of confidence in our institutions, pro-Biden forces should welcome the challenges to the election by Trump’s legal team if only to prove the legitimacy of their candidate.
An American subscriber sent this assessment which captures the widespread indignation behind the Rasmussen figures:
There is NO WAY Sleepy Joe got the most votes in US History. More than Obama in 2008?(1)More than Hillary? Voter turnouts higher than 100% in some areas? And 90% in others? Dead people and people over 100 years old voting in record numbers? What kind of nonsense is this? In the BEST of times, voter turnout is lucky to get in the 60s-70s%. Once numbers are corrected, I believe it will show Trump got the most votes in US history.
EVERYONE, no matter who you voted for, should be outraged and want a recount to prove who won without question! We have the right to FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS in the USA! NO ONE will trust the election process if we don’t take this to court.
If Sleepy Joe won fairly, then we’ll have to accept it, but it has to be proved one way or the other. Notice how no Dems want a recount? Notice how the only states in question are the swing states? Notice how the shady counting happened in the middle of the night and days later? HOW STUPID do they think Americans are?
Trump votes were a RED [Republican] TSUNAMI and the Dems didn’t see those numbers coming. They didn’t make enough fake ballots to beat the lead that Trump had in almost every state, so they halted the count in the middle of the night to get more fake ballots made. They had to buy more days to get more fake ballots in! They didn’t plan on all the votes from Hispanics, Blacks, and Women for Trump. They pretty much did it out in the open. There are TONS of witnesses and proof! Don’t believe what the mainstream media is saying. Biden did NOT win and the courts will show the truth! The Dems were not allowing Republican pollsters to watch the counting, or to be close enough to witness the signatures. They broke so many rules it’s insane!
Explosive, “irrefutable proof”
This passionate reaction is bolstered by the incorruptible Sidney Powell.(2)A former Federal Prosecutor assisting President Trump’s legal team, she affirmed on 8 November during a television interview:
“[T]here has been a massive and coordinated effort to steal this election from we the people of the United States of America. They have done it in every way imaginable, from having dead people vote in massive numbers to absolutely fraudulently creating ballots that exist only voting for Biden.”
She explained that they had discovered more than 450,000 ballots in the swing states cast for Biden alone, with no other selections of the many to be made down the ballot paper. She also charged that computer software “glitches” in the earlier referenced Dominion Voting Systems that flipped votes from Trump to Biden were not an accident.
Powell has uncovered “irrefutable proof” by way of “staggering statistical evidence” and “staggering witness testimony” of the way in which votes were stolen and precisely who is involved. “If you want to talk about foreign election interference, we certainly have it now,” she said, claiming that the Canadian company Dominion Voting Services, for one, had created its software to alter votes beginning with outcomes in Venezuela for Hugo Chavez. In this regard, another Trump legal team leader, Rudy Giuliani, speaking on 15 November alongside Powell on Fox News show Sunday Morning Futures, explained:
And the software that they [Dominion] use is done by a company called Smartmatic — a company that was founded by Chavez. And Chavez’s two allies who still own it. It has been used to cheat in elections in South America. It was banned by the United States about a decade ago.
Smartmatic has come back as a subcontractor. And Dominion sends everything to them. Can you believe it? Our results are sent overseas. Why?
Together with Giuliani and their other legal colleagues, Powell is exposing financial and political interests in Dominion, including those of certain US governors and Secretaries of State who conspired in this self-enrichment scheme to change votes.
Now, while explosive, these revelations would not elicit a single blink of surprise from anyone familiar with the global pyramid of financial, economic and political power and its labyrinthine networks of influence (including subversive, omnipresent CIA fronts, the type of which descriptions of Dominion Voting Systems and Smarmatic instantly call to mind). It is Powell’s spotless reputation and record of successfully exposing and prosecuting criminality at the highest levels, however, that allows us to be morally certain of the veracity of her claims.
During the 15 November Fox News interview, for instance, she introduced the name of one Peter Neffenger, a retired Coast Guard admiral. Apparently, he is the Chairman of the Board of Smartmatic — and… guess what? He is a member of the Biden transition team. Powell went on:
I never say anything I can’t prove. Secondly the evidence is coming in so fast I can’t even process it all. Millions of Americans have written I would say by now. Definitely hundreds of thousands have stepped forward with their different experiences of voter fraud. But this is a massive election fraud, and I’m very concerned that it involved not only Dominion and the Smartmatic software, but the software was essentially used by other election machines also. It’s the software that was the problem. Even their own manual explains how votes can be wiped away. It’s like drag and drop Trump votes to a separate folder and then delete that folder. It is absolutely brazen how people bought the system and why they bought the system, in fact, every state that bought Dominion for sure should have a criminal investigation or at least a serious investigation of the officers in the states who bought the software. We’ve even got evidence of some kickbacks, essentially.
At one point during the Powell/Giuliani interview, the Fox News host, Maria Bartiromo, added this vital information, quoting a source identified as a senior U.S. Intelligence Official:
The key point to understand is that the Smartmatic system has a “backdoor” that allows it to be “mirrored and monitored” allowing the intervening party a real-time understanding of how many votes will be needed to gain an electoral advantage.
She also noted the strategic state-targetting of the software:
The swing states who used the Dominion voting machines with the Smartmatic software: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. And I have a graphic of the states where they stopped counting. They are: Nevada, Arizona, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin.
There are still moreastonishing links in the criminal chain. “The Dominion/Smartmatic controversy,” writes The American Spectator’s Scott McKay, “is apparently related, though how we aren’t quite sure, to a supercomputer named Hammer created by the NSA for signals intelligence purposes and an application on that computer known as Scorecard, which is, reportedly, capable of rigging elections all over the world. Whether Hammer and Scorecard used Smartmatic to hack into Dominion machines to flip Trump votes for Biden is a matter of speculation at present.”
“Yes, it all sounds quite fanciful,” observes McKay, “like a John Grisham or John le Carré novel come to life, and the temptation is to throw up one’s hands and ask if these lawyers have lost their minds. On the other hand, American politics has lost its immunity to fanciful conspiracy theories coming true,” he adds, citing the non-stop conspiracies to unseat President Trump, including the most comically absurd conspiracy theory of all: that he colluded with Vladimir Putin to rig the 2016 election with $200,000 in Facebook ads!
On the one hand, you really can’t make this stuff up. On the other, it’s all so tediously predictable. For as mind-blowing as it is, from the Russia collusion and Ukraine impeachment mega-hoaxes — both intended to project the crimes perpetrated by the hoaxers themselves onto Donald Trump and his administration, to distract attention from their treason and criminality — it is a mere dolly step to this particular mega-fraud.
As the upstanding Steve Mosher wrote on LifeSite: “Virtually all the power centres in our country, from Big Media and Big Tech to Hollywood and Wall Street, are attempting to deny the true winner of the presidential contest his victory, and to perversely claim the runner-up as the president-elect. If every legal vote had been counted, and every illegal ballot thrown out,” he states, “Trump would have over 300 Electoral College votes [only 270 are required for victory]. Joe Biden would have called to concede the evening of November 3rd.”
The only response to such brazen subversion is the truth and transparency ever denied to the hapless public by a complicit media — which, at last count, has now merged into just five controlling corporations. So, always bearing in mind that only hard evidence tested and proven in court is of ultimate value to the President, let us continue with further ‘bombshell’ information pouring in from credible alternative media sources that points overwhelmingly to an election heist of biblical proportions.
Foreign raids and CIA meddling
As revealed by Powell and Giuliani, attention has turned to massive foreign internet servers through which (against all common sense and national security) U.S. election data is routed. In a 14 November video interview Republican congressman Louis Gohmert (Texas) revealed a tweeted report of a raid on the internet server ‘farm’ of a bankrupted company in Barcelona, involving the U.S. military. Great Game India reports:
Days after it was revealed how 2020 US Elections were rigged by Canadian Crown Agent Dominion Voting Systems through a so-called “glitch”, now GreatGameIndia has found involvement of another dubious foreign company in US Election meddling. The votes cast by Americans were counted by a bankrupted Spanish company Scytl in Spain. Like Dominion Voting Systems, Scytl has a long history of election fraud in various nations including injecting backdoors in its election software. The issue has prompted experts to question why the sensitive job of counting votes was outsourced to a foreign company? How could a bankrupted Spanish company count American votes in Spain?
Due to such widespread fraud, the Chairman of the US Federal Election Commission Trey Trainor believes that the 2020 US Presidential Election is illegitimate.
The Gateway Pundit, a respected conservative news outlet at the forefront of uncovering the 3 November conspiracy, reached out to its sources to confirm the military operations in Europe related to gathering evidence of election theft.
The US government, once they determined that this Dominion server was involved, then the intelligence community began to a search for the server and discovered the server was in Germany. In order to get access to that server and have it available for use in a legal manner they had to have the State Department work in tandem with the Department of Justice. They had to request that the government of Germany cooperate in allowing this seizure of this server. The appropriate documents required to affect that kind of seizure were put in place, signed off on, and it appears there was also US military support in this operation. The US military was not in the lead. But this helps explain why [former Defence Secretary Mark] Esper was fired [by President Trump last November] and [former director of the National Counterterrorism Centre Christopher] Miller and Kash Patel [the top counter-terrorism adviser on the White House National Security Council, who also helped expose the conspiratorial roles of President Obama, FBI chief James Comey et. al., in the Russia-collusion hoax against the President] were put in place [i.e., appointed as Defence Secretary and Chief of Staff respectively] — so that the military would not interfere with the operation in any way.
By getting hold of the server they now are going to have the direct evidence of when they were instructed to stop counting and who initiated the algorithm that started switching votes. The CIA was completely excluded from this operation.
The decision to sideline the nefarious CIA was particularly wise in this case, since we know from documents released by Wikileaks in March 2017 that the CIA used a data centre in Frankfurt as a remote hacking base to rig US elections! As reported by DW.com at the time:
Wikileaks released a trove of CIA documents on Tuesday [7/3/17] that it claimed revealed details of a secret hacking arsenal. The release included 8,761 documents that it claimed revealed details of “malware, viruses, trojans, weaponised ‘zero day’ exploits, malware remote control systems and associated documentation.” The leaks purportedly revealed that a top secret CIA unit used the German city of Frankfurt am Main as the starting point for numerous hacking attacks on Europe, China and the Middle East. German daily Süddeutsche Zeitung reported the building was known to be home to a vast network of intelligence personnel including CIA agents, NSA spies, military secret service personnel, Department of Homeland Security employees and Secret Service employees. It reported the Americans had also established a dense network of outposts and shell companies in Frankfurt.
As commentator Mike Adams reasonably observed:
It appears the CIA was using the same foreign data centre to hack the US elections… and got caught. This is precisely why, as the Gateway Pundit reports, the CIA was kept completely out of the server raid operation that just took place in Germany. The raid was likely levelled against the CIA’s own server farm that ran the remote Dominion hacking operation the night of the election. [Natural News, 13/11/20]
He continued:
It should be obvious to any informed person that everything Big Tech and news media did to rig this election, then bury the Democrats’ massive vote fraud operations, was a covert, fraudulent deception and unlawful action… and it was all carried out on behalf of communist nations like China and globalist operations that are located outside the United States. It’s not merely that the voting system companies whose hardware and software systems rigged the election were located in Canada and Spain; we’re also told that part of the CIA’s rigging of the election in real-time involved data being offshored to servers located in Germany and possibly in Serbia. So there are at least three of four foreign countries involved in this election, and that doesn’t even include China and Venezuela, who both had other roles in running influence operations to rig the election outcome in favour of Biden. (Funding for Dominion was also provided, it is rumoured, by wealthy socialists in Venezuela.)
Are the recounts irrelevant?
As demonstrated in these pages many times, the term “Deep State” effectively serves as a broad label for institutionalised (i.e., taxpayer-funded) transnational organised crime. (Just as “Deep Church,” its synergistic ecclesiastical twin, signifies institutionalised graft and corruption of faith and morals.) The global nature of Operation Big Steal should not therefore, surprise us. But in Adams’ view, once Trump’s team gathers all this “irrefutable evidence of criminal collusion to carry out election interference,” it is precisely this foreign dimension that offers a realistic means of voiding the fake result.
That happy outcome for Christian faith, conscience and life (especially in the womb) is legally possible due to a little-known Executive Order signed into existence on 12 September 2018 by President Donald J. Trump. Adams explains:
That order, available at Whitehouse.gov, is entitled, “Executive Order on Imposing Certain Sanctions in the Event of Foreign Interference in a United States Election.” In that executive order, which almost no one has covered since the day it was signed, President Trump declares a national emergency. That emergency is still in play to this day, and the 2020 election was conducted under this state of emergency, which is a crucial point to understand what’s coming next.
In the Executive Order, the President states that people and organisations located, in part, outside the United States are known to be able to, “interfere in or undermine public confidence in United States elections, including through the unauthorised accessing of election and campaign infrastructure or the covert distribution of propaganda and disinformation.“
“Team Trump already has the full transaction logs of Dominion Voting Systems election alterations,” Adams continues,
and with raids taking place in Europe, more evidence of foreign interference is being secured. Importantly, this enormous cache of vote fraud evidence will be more than sufficient for President Trump to present this evidence to the American people, then declare an illegal insurrection attempt against the United States of America while deploying US Marshalls or military police to arrest the treasonous actors in the United States who attempted to carry out this elaborate criminal fraud. “
[…] Once all the evidence is compiled and presented, President Trump merely needs to declare the entire election to be null and void as an artifact of a failed foreign coup attempt against the United States, aided by treasonous operators inside the Democratic party and certain dark corners of the intelligence community (CIA, FBI, etc.)
As an immutable legal principle, any party that engages in a social contract (such as an election) and then cheats to try to unfairly “win” that contract, is disqualified by default. You cannot win an election by stealing it. There is overwhelming precedent for this in court decisions from both SCOTUS [Supreme] and Federal district courts. The recounts are irrelevant. The “certification” of the fraudulent votes is just theatre. None of that matters once the overwhelming fraudulent nature of the entire operation is documented and revealed to all.
We may hope that it works out in that just and logical way, since recounts very rarely overturn the initial vote. Yet we know that the global forces of subversion hold such a firm grip on the switching points of power and influence, to include a weaponised entertainment-media that so easily and repeatedly warps public perception of reality, that only fervent prayer can overturn this blatant political heist.
Our great hope lies, therefore, not in the dutiful ongoing investigations but the worldwide ascent to Heaven of untold prayerful pleas for justice. And since God will receive and weigh each petition perfectly, every unlikely thing is still to play for. Anything remains possible; even the seemingly fanciful nullification and mass arrests called for by Mike Adams.
But regardless of the final outcome, let us continue to examine the mechanics of the attempted Big Steal which would place the Culture of Death back in the Oval Office — on steroids.
“Mail-in voting”
The major platform for the fraud was universal “mail-in voting.” Rolled out nationwide at Democrat insistence for this election (under cover of Covid hysteria), it fuelled the “ballot dumps.”
Rather than normal absentee voting that requires strict verification of voter ID, unsolicited ballots were sent out without proper checks and controls; such that absentee voters who didn’t provide complete information on their envelope about a witness who saw them fill out the ballot, for example, would not have to complete a new ballot and locate another witness.
This naturally broadened the market for “ballot harvesting” (stealing and forging ballots) upon which the dumping of great numbers of fraudulent ballots during the election counts largely depended.
Consider that only five states normally offer voting by mail as their primary means of casting a ballot: Colorado, Hawaii, Oregon, Utah, and Washington. And yet, according to data from the federal Election Assistance Commission, between 2012 and 2018 even these small states were unable to account for 28.3 million mail-in ballots: missing votes that amount to nearly one in five of all absentee ballots and ballots mailed to voters residing in those few states. The authorities simply have no idea what happened to these ballots.
Moreover, among those five vote-by-mail states, only Utah does not have multiple convictions for election fraud, which run into the dozens among the other four.
Nationally, the Heritage Foundation maintains an election fraud database that documents 1,285 proven cases of voter fraud, many of which involve mail-in ballots in swing states that will decide the eventual outcome of this election.
Even congressmen and their staff have been convicted of running electoral scams. In 2013, for instance, the chief of staff to Joe Garcia, Florida’s Democrat representative, was convicted and jailed for “orchestrating a plot involving the submission of hundreds of fraudulent absentee-ballot requests.” The New York Times described Garcia’s exploitation of just one chronic vulnerability of mail-in voting:
Election administrators have a shorthand name for a central weakness of voting by mail. They call it granny farming.… Voters in nursing homes can be subjected to subtle pressure, outright intimidation or fraud. The secrecy of their voting is easily compromised. And their ballots can be intercepted both coming and going.
Former Democrat representative Austin Murphy was indicted by a Pennsylvania grand jury for multiple counts of forgery, tampering with public records, criminal conspiracy, and election code violations. “After closed door negotiations, however, all charges were dropped except for absentee ballot fraud. He was eventually convicted of forging the ballots of senior citizens living in a nursing home. Murphy was quite literally smiling as he walked with mere probation.” [“Why Has Biden Hired 600 Lawyers?”, The American Spectator, 13/7/20]
Shortly before the election, in September, Project Veritas had presented further, irrefutable undercover video evidence of rampant “ballot harvesting” by a Somali cabal in league with Minnesota’s Democrat machine, which is headed by notorious Muslim Congresswoman Ilhan Omar.(3)This rank criminality, decried by President Trump at the time, was rewarded by the decision of Democrat officials in Minnesota to bypass a state law requiring absentee ballots to be accompanied by the signature of a witness — a decision rationalised, of course, by the “public health emergency.”
Trump and his team were doing everything possible to ensure a fair election by blocking this mail-in voting system which, they warned, “invites fraud, coercion, theft, and otherwise illegitimate voting.”
Meanwhile, as if anticipating the 24 October admission by Joe Biden’s senile subconscious that his own party was “the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organisation in the history of American politics,” Democrat operative Josh Mendelsohn, CEO of an organisation working for major pro-Biden Political Action Committees, had boasted a few months earlier that “Trump’s election night victory” would be “chipped away by mail-in votes that will [eventually] show Biden as the winner.” [“Democrats Plan to Steal the Election Using Mail-In Voting,” Fox News and Breitbart, 4/9/20]
To cite just one example of how this Democrat ploy played out: in Pennsylvania, Donald Trump’s 700,000-vote lead on Election Night was indeed “chipped away by mail-in votes” which poured in over the next several days and allowed Joe Biden to open up the modest margin he used to declare his miraculous victory — precisely as Mendelsohn prophesied.
Biden’s laptop: the decisive cover-up
On election night, seeking “to protect the integrity” of this particular election, and in consequence the entire electoral process on which the American Republic stands, President Trump addressed a crowd of his workers and supporters. Simply and truly he laid out the reality of the election, to include the sort of criminal reality described above, but also many positive outcomes such as outstanding Republican results in the concurrent Senate and House elections; historically remarkable results which fly in the face of Biden’s presidential tally. Herewith a few excerpts from a LifeSite report of the President’s 5 November update:
“If you count the legal votes, I easily win. If you count the illegal votes, they can try to steal the election from us.”
Trump called attention to his “decisive” margins in “many critical states, including massive victories in Florida, Iowa, Indiana and Ohio.” “We won these and many others despite historic election interference from big media, big money and big tech.”
This combined interference was embodied in the cover-up of the damning contents of a laptop belonging to Biden’s son, Hunter.
The laptop and original hard drive were first handed over to the FBI in November 2019, and copies of the hard drive later given to Rudy Giuliani’s attorney by the owner of a Delaware computer repair shop. He had stumbled across incriminating emails and visual material while preparing the laptop for resale after Hunter, who left it for repair in 2019, had failed to collect it, thus legally forfeiting ownership under the terms of the contract. Giuliani, former mayor of New York City and President Trump’s personal attorney, provided one of the copies of the hard drive to the New York Post.
The contents revealed Joe’s headship of the Biden crime family’s dirty dealings with China (read: Chinese Communist Party), Ukraine and other foreign powers while he was Vice President. Voluminous graphic evidence of Hunter’s drug-taking and sexual degeneracy (including with minors) — behaviour which mirrors his father’s own degenerate proclivities — was also revealed.
The scorching material confirmed, once and for all, Joe Biden’s lifelong monetising of his public office (he has portrayed himself as nearly penniless when, in fact, he is a multi-millionaire), as well as the insatiable greed that compliments his equally renowned insatiable lust. On 15 October, Giuliani told Newsmax TV:
Now we have [Hunter] Biden’s own text messages to his father, to others, which make it clear they were stealing money, taking money from countries like Iraq, Ukraine, China, Romania, don’t forget Moscow, the $3.5 million from Moscow that Biden lied about at the [televised presidential] debate.
Giuliani added that the FBI has had the hard drive’s contents for eight months, keeping it under wraps despite the fact that, in his view, the pictures and videos constitute a “national security threat to the United States” because they are all in the hands of China so they can extort Joe Biden with them. “How come Joe lost every negotiation with China?” he asked rhetorically. “He’s been using his family to make millions for years. He’s been doing it by selling us out. And it’s disgraceful that the media covers it up.”
Giulani told Fox News that after the shop owner called the FBI in the first instance, “the FBI came. The FBI interviewed him. He told the FBI everything I just told you. And then he said to the FBI agent … ‘I’m really afraid because the Bidens are very powerful around here.’ He said, ‘I’m really worried what they’re going to do to me’.”
According to Giuliani, the FBI agent answered, “Don’t worry, if you keep your mouth shut, nothing will happen.”
He added that the shop owner made four copies of the hard drive, leaving two “with friends of his in case he was killed.”
This further underscores the interlocking white-collar criminal interests of The Swamp inherited by political novice Donald Trump.
The FBI functions under the authority of the Department of ‘Justice’, the current head of which, Attorney General William Barr, is a former diehard Bush functionary: viz., a veteran of Deep State Central! (President Trump was clearly manoeuvred into appointing Barr as a compromise candidate to quell Operation “Insurance Policy” — the FBI’s self-professed Russia-collusion hoax devised to unseat Trump in the unlikely event of his victory).
Ever in lockstep with Deep State comrades, when the Biden scandal finally broke a month before the election, the MSM and their Silicon Valley counterparts (Twitter, Facebook, YouTube/Google) shut up shop; censoring news coverage to protect Beijing Joe. They locked accounts of media, celebrities, government officials and anyone else who shared the New York Post’s story — including accounts of the White House Press Secretary and those of the editors of New York Post itself, one of whom tweeted:
This is a Big Tech information coup. This is digital civil war. I, an editor at The New York Post, one of the nation’s largest papers by circulation, can’t post one of our own stories that details corruption by a major-party presidential candidate, Biden.

Gregg Jarrett, legal and political analyst for Fox News Channel, nailed the tyrannical double standard, tweeting:
Let me get this straight: The NY Times can post to Twitter & Facebook its story on Trump’s taxes based on unnamed sources and documents it won’t produce. But the NY Post cannot post its story on Biden based on documents it produced. Confused? Don’t be. It’s political censorship.
Underlining the pervasive Orwellian fear treated in his October 2020 documentary Trump Card: Beating Socialism, Corruption and the Deep State (“an exposé of the gangsterisation that now defines the Democratic Party”), bestselling author and film-maker Dinesh D’Souza told America First radio on 3 November:
I never thought I would see a time when not only would the media ignore huge stories — because think how hard that is to pull off in the free market; there are thousands of journalists, hundreds of media institutions — why won’t even one guy at the Dallas Morning News, or the Sacramento Bee say, hey, listen, all my idiot colleagues don’t want to cover the Biden scandal, I’m going to do it, and I’m going to become the most famous media reporter in the country. But even that guy won’t do it. He’s scared.(4)
To get around the censorship, Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee put this Facebook and Twitter-censored @NYPost article about the scandal on their press website:
Press Releases and news | October 14, 2020
Hunter Biden introduced his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, to a top executive at a Ukrainian energy firm less than a year before the elder Biden pressured government officials in Ukraine into firing a prosecutor who was investigating the company, according to emails obtained by The [Washington] Post.
The never-before-revealed meeting is mentioned in a message of appreciation that Vadym Pozharskyi, an adviser to the board of Burisma, allegedly sent Hunter Biden on April 17, 2015, about a year after Hunter joined the Burisma board at a reported salary of up to $50,000 a month.
“Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together. It’s realty [sic] an honor and pleasure,” the email reads. An earlier email from May 2014 also shows Pozharskyi, reportedly Burisma’s No. 3 exec, asking Hunter for “advice on how you could use your influence” on the company’s behalf.
The blockbuster correspondence — … flies in the face of Joe Biden’s claim that he’s “never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings”…
The sordid truth was further confirmed when the laptop revelations were verified by Hunter Biden’s ex-business partner, former naval officer Tony Bobulinski, who was compelled to speak out publicly when his good name risked being muddied by the lies spewed forth by the Bidens. In attendance at the second presidential debate when Joe Biden again denied any involvement in his family’s business, Bobulinski told Fox News’ Tucker Carlson, “I almost stood up and yelled “Liar!”.”
Why & What if?
On 14 October, straight-shooting attorney Robert Barnes, who deals in civil, criminal and constitutional law, tweeted his view of why they would launch such an apparently suicidal blackout:
Twitter, Facebook, and Google have the real election data, from their internal algorithmic information. They are risking public notice of their brazen censorship to suppress the Biden story to the extent of blocking the White House. What does that tell you about how close [the election] is?…
“If the content of the hard drive had been released [by the FBI] when received in November 2019,” former Trump adviser Steve Bannon told Revolver News, “there would have been no impeachment of Trump, and Bernie Sanders would be the Democratic Party nominee.”
Equally, if news reports of the contents of the hard drive had not been censored by the media in October 2020, imagine the number of decisive votes Trump would have won. A new post-election poll from the Media Research Center, conducted by McLaughlin & Associates, provides a clue.
Conducted on 2-3 November, the nationwide survey of 1,000 actual voters (including early voters) shows that 36 percent of Biden voters were not aware of the evidence linking Joe Biden to corrupt financial dealings with China through his son Hunter. Thirteen percent of these voters (or 4.6% of Biden’s total vote) say that had they known these facts, they would not have voted for the former Vice President. Such a shift away from Biden would have seen President Trump win the election with 289 electoral votes. [NewsBusters, 9/11/20]
Righteous presidential plaint
Against that background of wholesale media and FBI collusion and cover-up — all with a view to re-establishing the Deep State-Chinese Communist cabal that ruled the U.S. and global roost prior to Donald Trump’s election — the President’s 5 November update speech before his assembled troops is even more compelling:
Trump cited major victories of Republicans, and of his own campaign, during the 2020 election cycle. “We grew our party by four million voters, the greatest turnout in Republican Party history,” he said. “We kept the Senate despite having twice as many seats to defend as Democrats. For the first time ever, we lost zero races in the House. It’s a very unusual thing.
“This was also the year of the Republican woman. More Republican women were elected to Congress than ever before. That’s a great achievement.
“I won the largest share of non-white voters of any Republican in 60 years, including historic numbers of Latino, African American, Asian American and Native American voters. At the national level, our opponents’ major donors were Wall Street bankers and special interests. Our major donors were police officers, farmers, everyday citizens.”
“Democrats are the party of the big donors, the big media, the big tech, it seems. Republicans have become the party of the American worker.”
Trump went on to describe in detail numerous instances of apparent election meddling. He also discussed some of his ongoing efforts to fight what he described as “tremendous corruption.”
“Media polling was election interference, in the truest sense of that word, by powerful special interests,” Trump said.
“There are now only a few states yet to be decided in the presidential race. The voting apparatus of those states are run in all cases by Democrats. We were winning in all the key locations by a lot, actually. And then our numbers miraculously started getting whittled away in secret and they wouldn’t allow legally permissible observers.”
Trump alluded to the lawsuits his administration is filing to challenge indications of fraud. “Even beyond our litigation, there’s tremendous amount of litigation because of how unfair this process was,” he said. “I’ve been talking about mail-in voting for a long time. It’s really destroyed our system. It’s a corrupt system and it makes people corrupt even if they aren’t by nature.”
“They want to find out how many votes they need and they seem to be able to find them. They wait and wait, and then they find them. It’s amazing how those mail-in ballots are so one-sided too. This is a case where they’re trying to steal an election, they’re trying to rig an election, and we can’t let that happen.
“Detroit and Philadelphia, known as two of the most corrupt political places anywhere in our country, easily, cannot be responsible for engineering the outcome of a presidential race.
“And Pennsylvania Democrats have gone to the state supreme court to try and ban our election observers. They don’t want anyone watching them as they count the ballots. There’s absolutely no legitimate reason why they would not want to have people watching this process because if it’s straight they should be proud of it. Philadelphia observers have been kept very far away, so far that people are using binoculars to try and see.
“Democrat officials never believed they could win this election honestly. I really believe that, that’s why they did the mail-in ballots where there’s tremendous corruption and fraud going on. That’s why they mailed out tens of millions of unsolicited ballots without any verification measures whatsoever. They refused to include any requirement to identify signatures or even determine whether they’re eligible or ineligible to vote. They have no idea.”
Trump additionally pointed out that ballots are being counted “without even postmarks or any ID whatsoever.”
“I challenge Joe and every Democrat to clarify that they only want legal votes. We want every legal vote counted. We want openness and transparency. No secret count rooms, no mystery ballots, no illegal votes being cast after election day.
“We want an honest election, we want an honest count. That’s the way this country is going to win.”
Fight to the bitter end
Some within the President’s inner circle are said to be encouraging him to eschew what they see as a damaging scorched earth-approach; effectively urging him to adopt the false magnanimity of Richard Nixon, who conceded despite election theft by the JFK Democrats.
As ever, the appeasers are wrong.
The primary concern is not the historical futility of recounts.
Nor is it the massive voter fraud viewed in isolation.
What should exercise their minds is the fact that the Republicans knew the Democrats were going to cheat as never before, yet weren’t able to do anything to prevent it.
That chilling fact speaks to the exponential subversion of the democratic process and, in consequence, the stability of nations. For make no mistake, if such brazen U.S. election fraud is not at least challenged, it will be mimicked even more rapidly by other Western democracies already primed for the brutal police-state alternative, as pitiless Covid Crackdowns have so graphically revealed.
Trump must, therefore,stay his legal course. To bow to a media coup d’état would render allU.S. elections superfluous, with a destabilising global flow-on effect. A fact admitted even by a few coup-collaborators. The anti-Trump Houston Chronicle for one stated on 5 November that the American people must never be “deprived of the sense of ownership they should always have in an election, no matter which candidate wins.”
Come what may, therefore, this most unlikely, extraordinary pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-freedom, pro-sovereignty, patriotic President will stand his ground and exhaust every legal avenue available to right this monumental injustice: the “greatest theft in the history of America,” as he described it to the New York Post.
A 12 November presidential tweet quotes a progress report
Just as he has dared to proclaim Our Lord Jesus Christ before the prideful lords of this world, he will dare to defy MSM megalomaniacs who believe it is they who determine winners and losers, simply by parroting the preferred result of their Deep State employers.
When they did so in unison several days after the vote, world leaders duly rushed to congratulate Biden, including a certain papal infiltrator, who quickly offered Deep Church felicitations to his Deep State comrade.
But not all of them toed the globalist party line. Presidents Putin and Bolsonaro were among several who refrained from trampling over diplomatic protocol to cement a lie.
Andrés Manuel López Obrador, the Mexican president since December 2018, was another. He told reporters at a news conference that “with regard to the US election, we are going to wait until all the legal matters have been resolved. I can’t congratulate one candidate or the other. I want to wait until the electoral process is over.”
This is all the more noteworthy since López Obrador, who runs a left-wing party, is representative of Donald Trump’s dealings with many foreign leaders; which cordial, productive relationships the media ever distort and spin into the polar opposite of reality.
“President Trump has been very respectful with us and we have achieved very good accords,” said López Obrador. “We thank him for not having been a meddler and he has respected us.”
Contrariwise, advocacy-journalists of the MSM lack all respect for President Trump despite his many successes, to include profitable foreign relations, and never stop meddling with bad intent.
But they will not deter Trump.
He is too focussed on the seismic fallout of their seditious role in the Big Steal.
“We think there’s going to be a lot of litigation,” he told his troops.
“We have so much evidence, so much proof. It’s going to end up perhaps at the highest court in the land. We can’t have an election stolen like this. We can’t let that happen to the United States of America. It’s not a question of who wins, Republican or Democrat, Joe, myself. We can’t be disgraced by letting something like this happen.”
They never learn!
The creatures of the fetid Swamp, left and right, should have known better than to expect the indomitable New Yorker to buckle and roll over.
Bad mistake!
Truly, they never learn. Not even from the abject failure of their furious campaign of heat and hatred, including:
never-ending misrepresentations and abject lies (— The Washington Post typically alleged just two days ago that Trump dropped a key claim in his Pennsylvania lawsuit, which was 100% false);
criminal set-ups of his colleagues and supporters, especially but not only through the Russia collusion scam(5);
hateful personal attacks on his wife and children (including threats against his little boy Baron and legal harassment of his totally innocent eldest son);
the baseless Ukraine impeachment pantomime;
endless Hitler comparisons at once vicious and absurd.
Spewed forth in a constant stream for the best part of 5 years (starting well before his election), this unrelenting bile and mendacity, which fuelled the Trump Derangement Syndrome that incited the country, would’ve crushed the toughest of seasoned politicians in half the time.
They underestimated him right from the outset, when he outthought and outplayed the Never Trumpersof the Republican National Committee; self-satisfied establishment hacks who joined the Mockingbird Media in mocking him, even as their preferred 17 heavyweight candidates fell like dominoes before the massive patriotic movement he created on the way to unlikely nomination and miraculous presidential victory.
In permanent denial about his astonishing energy and staying power ever since, they have preferred to exaggerate inevitable disagreements and presidential mistakes and missteps while decrying or misrepresenting astounding achievements at home and abroad, if reported at all.
And yet his polarising stand against a Culture of Death personified by Hillary, Barack and Joe, inspires awe among those who hail above all else his heroic support for the unborn, including graphic reminders before Congress itself of their gruesome and painful fate each and every day by the thousands.
Likewise, we can only give thanks for his unabashed public praise of God and unyielding support for Catholics and our vital right to conscientious objection (— and that despite expressions of contempt rained upon him by the putative Vicar of Christ and his chosen chorus of homo-enablers: Tobin, Cupich, Gregory, et. al.).
Just four years ago, only in our wildest dreams could we have imagined such a pro-life champion in the Oval Office. Yet there is so much else that warrants secular praise:
record GDP and stock market highs, taking economic growth to levels considered impossible when Obama left office after running the country into the ground;
record food stamp and unemployment lows (especially among blacks);
unprecedented slashing of red tape (the barely mentioned fulfilment of which campaign promise turbo-charged the economy);
starting no new wars; thereby saving untold lives and hellish misery, while even bringing U.S. troops home (the first president for several decades to defy the all-powerful Military Industrial Complex in that lucrative regard — no mean feat!),
One could list many more historic successes, before any one of which journalists would gush and bow if achieved by a globalist incumbent.
“Instead,” noted Mark Bauerlein in August 2018, “we get quibbles and warnings of what the future may hold. [Liberal commentator] Ezra Klein even argued that with such a low unemployment rate (3.8%), Trump’s economy should be performing much better than it is.”
In other words, where Trump is concerned, even good news is bad news in the Orwellian peace-is- war/war-is-peace parallel universe constructed and promoted by Deep State-controlled corporate media.
In a world blessed with objective news reported by journalists worthy of their vital profession, however, this President’s deep connection with American workers sold out, disenfranchised and deplored by criminal Deep State actors like Crooked Hillary and Beijing Joe — a unique relationship on show at every Trump mega-rally yet ignored by the press — would of itself and alone be lauded as worthy of a presidential Memorial.
Like the Lincoln Memorial, that Trump tribute would surely feature inscriptions from his many memorable speeches, the plain-speaking likes of which may never again grace presidential lips.
Not least the peerless inauguration address of 20 January 2017, in which his predatory predecessors seated behind him — the Bushes, Clintons and Obama, who all soiled their souls and lined their pockets with American blood and treasure — were shot down like ducks in a row as Trump drew first blood in his quest to restore the pride, dignity, and greatness of his beloved country.
For over thirty years he had quietly and thoughtfully bemoaned the run-down state of his nation, all the while resisting entreaties to enter politics because, he mused on one such public occasion, “It’s a very nasty business.” In hindsight, a portentous reflection.
In the end, thankfully, for all our sakes, capitulation is a foreign concept to Donald Trump.
“He doesn’t like losing,” confirmed his acting chief of staff, putting the Swamp on notice that whatever the outcome of his legal challenge there is not the slightest possibility his boss will be departing the political scene. Since that would leave them free to flood the U.S. public square with their endless, treacherous, ruinous, Godless machinations — which endanger life on earth, born and pre-born.
Peerless intervention
Pondering the epic scale of this latest Deep State operation and all the equally unprecedented and directly associated Covid/BLM/Reset Operations we have witnessed this year, I wondered: how best to tie it all together, with so much that needs explaining about the Deep State/Deep Church nexus personified by sinister puppets like Biden and Bergoglio?
The question answered itself, however, when I read the ensuing statement by Archbishop Viganò.
Even by his exalted standards, this latest critique by His Grace is so exceptional —in its pithy summation of events at once complex and frightening — that it really must be given pride of place; to be read (and carefully re-read!) by all those who genuinely believe, as readers of this journal most certainly do, that only the truth, however alarming, can set us free to re-establish Christendom — or in Davos-speak, to Build Back Better for Christ the King!
In keeping with his previous statements, the Archbishop’s letter once more resonates with the angelic clarity and conviction of the Encyclicals, Apostolic Letters and Exhortations of the great pre-conciliar pontiffs. One thinks, for example, of Our Apostolic Mandate (1910), St. Pius X’s blistering and prescient condemnation of those Catholics seduced by
the great movement of apostasy being organised in every country for the establishment of a One-World Church which shall have neither dogmas, nor hierarchy, neither discipline for the mind, nor curb for the passions, and which, under the pretext of freedom and human dignity, would bring back to the world… the reign of legalized cunning and force, and the oppression of the weak, and of all those who toil and suffer.
Archbishop Viganò’s excoriating summary analysis echoes St. Pius at a time when that tyrannical “reign” is being brought “back to the world” before our very eyes, under Orwellian slogans like “build back better” and “the new normal.”
Concise and incisive, his clarification of events will especially strengthen the prayerful resolve of those confused and despondent before the interlocking psychological operations being waged against us on several fronts.
Just as God gifted us a mercurial President to confront His enemies without, so He manifestly raised up this true Shepherd to expose and decry His enemies within; the Great Apostasy “at the top” of His Church. We do well, therefore, to heed his voice and follow his prayerful advice.
Through the Holy Rosary commended so highly by His Grace, may the foul political winds blowing directly against the Trump legal team be reversed and the enemy thrown into confusion, exposed, and crushed.
We may then rejoice like our Catholic forebears in 1571 and 1683, after last gasp victories at Lepanto and the gates of Vienna, offering thanks to God and Our Lady for a second presidential term promising greater strides still: for faith, life, family, freedom and sovereignty — everywhere!

(1)As noted political author Jack Cashill commented caustically in this regard: “It would appear that a senile old man who represents everything the Democratic Party claims to have outgrown — sexism, racism, whiteness — attracted nearly 10 million more Democratic voters in 2020 than did the party’s articulate, bright, clean, nice-looking African-American messiah in 2012.”
(2) Author of the bestseller Licensed to Lie (which calls out vicious and unethical government prosecutors harboured within and enabled by an ironically named Department of Justice), Powell is renowned for her competence, courage and integrity. For instance, she heroically stepped in to defend the President’s former National Security Adviser, General Michael Flynn, after he had been framed and ruined by Deep State forces (crooked FBI agents, lawyers and judges). She exposed the web of corruption and had Flynn’s conviction quashed.

As recently as 10 November, FoxNews.com reported: “Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., has paid nearly $2.8 million to her husband’s political consulting firm so far in the 2019-2020 election cycle, including nearly 70% of her third-quarter disbursements.” (The account does not detail if Omar’s campaign provided any funding for: her brother, her ex-husband, or her ex-husband/brother!)
(4)D’Souza speaks from personal experience of the chilling censorship and political control that fuels this reign of fear. On Barack Obama’s extensive political hit-list, a trivial violation of political campaign donation laws was used to fine him $30,000 and sentence him to 5 years probation and 8 months in a detention centre undergoing “therapeutic counselling.” He was later pardoned by President Trump. His brutal experience, which left him a convicted felon unable to vote, made him realise that even he himself had underestimated “the gangsterisation of the Left.”

Released online last month and available to stream or download,this engrossing documentary features many of the politicians, aides, attorneys and reporters who courageously joined the dots and followed the money to the sources of the Russia hoax. In doing so, they overcame the same kind of pressures now being re-applied to ensure that arch-criminal election fraud is accepted as a fait accompli.
Pray an Our Father now for reparation for the sins committed because of Francis’s Amoris Laetitia.
Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Church as well as the Triumph of the Kingdom of the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Stop for a moment of silence, ask Jesus Christ what He wants you to do now and next. In this silence remember God, Father, Son and Holy Ghost – Three Divine Persons yet One God, has an ordered universe where you can know truth and falsehood as well as never forget that He wants you to have eternal happiness with Him as his son or daughter by grace. Make this a practice. By doing this you are doing more good than reading anything here or anywhere else on the Internet.
Francis Notes:
– Doctor of the Church St. Francis de Sales totally confirmed beyond any doubt the possibility of a heretical pope and what must be done by the Church in such a situation:
“[T]he Pope… WHEN he is EXPLICITLY a heretic, he falls ipso facto from his dignity and out of the Church, and the Church MUST either deprive him, or, as some say, declare him deprived, of his Apostolic See.” (The Catholic Controversy, by St. Francis de Sales, Pages 305-306)
– LifeSiteNews, “Confusion explodes as Pope Francis throws magisterial weight behind communion for adulterers,” December 4, 2017:
The AAS guidelines explicitly allows “sexually active adulterous couples facing ‘complex circumstances’ to ‘access the sacraments of Reconciliation and the Eucharist.'”
– On February 2018, in Rorate Caeli, Catholic theologian Dr. John Lamont:
“The AAS statement… establishes that Pope Francis in Amoris Laetitia has affirmed propositions that are heretical in the strict sense.”
– On December 2, 2017, Bishop Rene Gracida:
“Francis’ heterodoxy is now official. He has published his letter to the Argentina bishops in Acta Apostlica Series making those letters magisterial documents.”
Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Church by the bishops by the grace of God.
Posted inUncategorized|Comments Off on It appears that the 2021 Virginia Democrats were afraid with the whole nation looking to reuse the “300,000 votes [that] magically appeared for Joe Biden in the middle of the night” in the 2020 Biden Steal according to Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft. He thinks it may have been a “head-fake by Democrats on the American public”:
There are subtle and overt signs in our culture of a ‘woke’ agenda to revise our history, transform our values, and filter our ideas. Resistance is not yet futile.
October 20, 2021
There is a new feature on the menu of Beyond These Stone Walls called “Voices from Beyond.” The photo atop the new page is a radio astronomy telescope from the Very Large Array National Radio Astronomy Observatory near Socorro, New Mexico. I chose the image because I spent some time studying there long ago. My adventure in radio astronomy was a happier time for me, but by “Voices from Beyond,” I didn’t mean quite that far beyond.
I meant the dozens of articles, editorials and other commentary about my situation and this blog that have been published in various other venues from the Prison Journal of George Cardinal Pell to The Wall Street Journal. We decided to collect some of them in one place, though it is a hefty task. We hope to add one or two examples each week. I hope you will check it out on occasion.
The “Voice” the new feature presents this week is that of Rod Dreher from The American Conservative for which he is an editor and major contributor. His commentary is about a “blood boiling” review of my trial by Dorothy Rabinowitz in The Wall Street Journal. We chose it even before I planned to write this post which also happens to feature the voice of Rod Dreher on a topic he calls “soft totalitarianism.” Coincidence is sometimes not very subtle.
Totalitarianism is an ideology in which all social, political, economic, intellectual, cultural and spiritual information is subordinated to a central authority. But before I get back to that and Rod Dreher, I must first explain what prompted this post. Even from behind these high walls, I see daily signs that our culture is being subtly molded to a radically revised agenda. It is chosen for us, and imposed on us, by an elitist few who require our conformity with it. Sometimes the nudge toward that agenda is so subtle that we barely notice and feel little pressure to resist.
“Woman, Behold Your Son.” (John 19:26)
Here’s a recent example that bows to the so-called “woke” cultural agenda to revise and impose new, and sometimes bizarre, language rules about gender. The American Civil Liberties Union has decided that the word “woman” no longer belongs in any reference to gender.
In a September 18, 2021 tweet about a pro-abortion quote from the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the ACLU took it upon itself to edit out the word, “woman,” and replace it with “person” using editorial brackets. The ACLU, the guardian of civil liberties, also neutered the related pronoun from “her” to “their”:
“The decision whether or not to bear a child is central to a [person’s] life, to [their] well-being and dignity.”
Setting aside the fact that the ideology behind the Ginsburg quote disregards the “well-being and dignity” of the child’s life, the editing out of “woman” by the ACLU renders it ridiculous. Would any “person” other than a woman bear a child? Also, the gender neutral replacement pronoun, “their” instead of “her” adopts the rules of “wokeness” while discarding the rules of grammar. Is the denial of gender differences worth destroying the English language? Charles Cooke, writing at NationalReview.com, protested:
“[The ACLU] is an organization that once understood that even viewpoints widely considered odious deserved to be defeated in the marketplace of ideas, not with redaction tape. But it now seeks to retroactively alter the speech of public figures with whom it shares common cause to avoid offending those who deplore the idea that only women can have babies … . This kind of thinking requires ‘the acceptance of the Soviet-esque idea’ that history ought to be revised to serve the current definition of ‘progress.’ ’’
The push now underway to eliminate gender distinctions is only just beginning, but the concerted effort to revise and replace the word “woman” only gets worse. The U.S. Justice Department under Attorney General Merrick Garland (who was President Obama’s last minute, mercifully defeated, nominee to the Supreme Court) made a notation in a brief filed to combat a new Texas abortion law by substituting “women” with “any individuals who become pregnant.”
The White House budget proposal also replaced the word “mothers” with “birthing people.” In a September bill, House Democrats defended the use of “birthing people” by saying that it “reflects the majority of people” who might seek an abortion citing that …
“… it is intended to protect all people with the capacity for pregnancy — cisgender women, transgender men, non-binary individuals, those who identify with a different gender and others.”
It gets even worse. The distinguished British medical journal, The Lancet, published an article on problems with menstruation by replacing the word, “women” with “bodies with vaginas.” After some people whose bodies fit that description objected, Richard Horton, The Lancet Editor-in-Chief, defended this as an attempt to reach “maximum inclusivity of all people.”
How far will we go to allow these substitutions for traditional terms that, for thousands of years, have described our identities and distinctions as human beings? Sacred Scripture has 4,976 references to man or men and 710 references to woman or women. In a very popular post awhile back, “In the Absence of Fathers: A Story of Elephants and Men,” I wrote that the word, “father” appears 1,932 times in the Bible while the word “mother” appears 354 times. “Father” is how God identifies Himself. The differential is only because Scripture has its own inclusivity: Human-kind = “mankind” which was never understood as a value statement about gender differences.
Caving in to this redesign of language about our identities and faith requires our abandonment of both. It also demands that we radically re-edit and reinterpret Sacred Scripture, the story of our lives in the Presence of God. Are we prepared for this divisive adventure in nihilism, the belief that the destruction of our existing political, social, and religious institutions and traditions is necessary for a just society?
Like a Colonization of the Mind
“Totalitarianism” as both an ideology and a system of government is unique to the 20th Century. In its practice, people become wholly dependent on and subjugated to the whims of a political party. Among its typical features are a monopoly of media and mass communication, a centrally controlled economy, and an enforcement arm in service of the ideology itself and the party it represents. Every totalitarian system has begun with re-education on acceptable language and thought. As for enforcement, consider the recent U.S. Justice Department decision to send the FBI to investigate dissent over mask and vaccine mandates in local school districts.
The ruling ideology assumes control of the news, social media, and publishing, as well as radio and television broadcasting. Social media especially lends itself to totalitarian controls dictated by a “woke” agenda. Recent examples are too many to fit into a single post:
An elected president’s Twitter account was permanently suspended while he was still in office; Twitter, Facebook and most print and broadcast news media removed or suppressed content about evidence of influence peddling by the ethically-challenged son of a presidential candidate during an election season; Amazon removed books from its catalog based upon conservative political views; An editor of The New York Times was forced to resign upon the demands of a “woke” newsroom when he allowed a conservative Republican senator to publish an op-ed. This list could go on for many pages.
I experienced a personal example recently. Catholic author Ryan A. MacDonald wrote about it in these pages a week ago in “Fr Gordon MacRae in the Prison Journal of George Cardinal Pell.” When our editor published an article at the r/Catholicism page of Reddit, I was permanently banned by an unnamed Catholic moderator from future participation in the site. It was not because I am in prison nor was it because I am an accused priest. It was because the article called into question claims of victimhood that are considered sacrosanct for the far left, and never to be questioned.
“Dreher maintains that our soft totalitarianism is ‘metaphysical’ in the sense that it spreads like a colonization of the mind, infecting our everyday language and behavior, in turn shaping governmental policy … . If we are to effectively resist, we must understand the crucial importance of religion. A vague resistance unmoored from that bedrock is not only incapable of endurance under totalitarian conditions … . To cultivate cultural memory as a method of resistance demands that we rediscover, and spiritually dwell within, our Christian historical reality.”
Rod Dreher warning of “a colonization of the mind” captures exactly what I have written above about imposed gender-related language. It is intriguing that resistance requires cultural memory and assent to the truth that Western Culture is a product of Christian religion. I believe this to be true, and its most direct evidence is the vehemence with which the socialist left seeks to marginalize and diminish Christianity and its role in society.
In light of this, it is troubling that Pope Francis imposed severe restrictions on more traditional forms of liturgy, a deeply felt suppression of a tradition cherished by many that I wrote of in “A House Divided: Cancel Culture and the Traditional Latin Mass.”
“Islam Would Never Stay Silent!”
No one should feel helpless to respond in the face of all this, but response is a long effort that requires commitment. Rod Dreher described the necessity of regaining and maintaining our religion. Historical and cultural awareness of Christian traditions is our best and only hope for “woke” resistance. In the 20th Century, Pope John Paul II and President Ronald Reagan literally brought down history’s most oppressive totalitarian regime, the Soviet Union, through their teaching and promotion of Christian ideals.
I hope readers did not choose to skip over my recent post, “Left in Afghanistan: Taliban, Al Qaeda, ISIS-K, and Credibility.” It was a hefty dose of history, but only 30 years’ worth. The catastrophic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan would have gone quite differently with a better understanding of that culture’s historical and religious context. Our culture marginalizes religion to its peril.
Islam is currently the fastest growing religious faith on the planet. That is so only because it has its own “woke” extremists who demand totalitarian compliance. I have to give the last word to Jamil Malik. That is not his real name. Jamil was Coptic Christian university student when he began writing to me after the famous public ISIS beheading of Coptic Christians on a beach in Libya in 2011. Due to the grave danger he faced for “visiting the websites of the infidels” he adopted a screen name. I have not heard from him for a decade. His last message to me was this:
“Americans and American Catholics seem divided over many issues, but they are mostly the issues of the elite while most of the rest of the world’s people struggle to survive and preserve their lives and freedoms and basic human rights.
“My struggling Christian friends in Iran and Syria have something to say to American Catholics ready to leave their faith over the latest demands of popular culture. I have friends who have been killed for their faith in just the last few months.
“Over here, Catholic priests are sacrificed by radical Islamic fundamentalists seeking revenge over the 1,000 year old Crusades. In America, priests are sacrificed by lawyers, the news media, and Catholic bureaucrats. Most Catholics stay passively silent. Islam would NEVER stay silent.’ ”

“For a conquered people, peace is a sign of total subjection.” – Saint Maximilian Kolbe
Cardinal Robert Sarah says the Vigano faction is one with which he is in “total disagreement,” so evidently he must be in at least partial agreement with Ted McCarrick’s behavior, since Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano is the only one vocally to denounce it.
Is Sarah, in stabbing Vigano in the back, showing again that he apparently is at least partially a Francis/McCarrick man as he did before?
First, the hero Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano has single-handedly destroyed Francis’ credibility by exposing his sex abuse cover-up legacy. The LifeSiteNews headline said it in a nutshell: “Pope Francis covered up McCarrick abuse, former US nuncio” Then, again, the courageous Archbishop Vigano showed he is the leader of the Catholic resistance to the attempt to impose a world leftist censorship and tyranny. Sadly, Vigano at the beginning of his resistance to the world tyranny attempt was already being betrayed by Francis collaborator Cardinal Robert Sarah according to Gloria.tv in the article “Did Cardinal Sarah Lie?”: “Cardinal Sarah told the authors of the May 7 appeal which warns that the coronavirus is exploited for promoting a one-world government, to cancel him from the list of signees.”
“Sarah wrote on Twitter (May 8) that ‘a Cardinal Prefect, member of the Roman Curia, has to observe a certain restriction on political matters; he shouldn’t sign petitions in such areas.'”
“Therefore, he asked the authors of the text not to mention his name, ‘From a personal point of view, I may share some questions or preoccupations raised regarding restrictions on fundamental freedom, but I didn’t sign that petition.'”
“Promptly, Archbishop Viganò, the appeal’s initiator, accused Sarah in a May 8 communique of ‘a grave wrong which he inflicted on the truth.’”
“Viganò writes that he had a May 4 phone conversation with Sarah, ‘The call was recorded and lasted 6 minutes and 25 seconds.'”
“He transcribes Sarah’s words. Sarah said, ‘It seems to me that this is a very serious matter. I think that this Appeal can do a lot of good, because it will make people think and take a position: I agree that it should be published as soon as possible.'”
“Asked whether he would sign the appeal, Sarah replied, ‘Yes, I agree to put my name, because it is a struggle that we must wage together, not only for the Catholic Church but for all humanity.’”
“However, after the appeal’s publication, Sarah told Viganò via SMS that a friend advised him not to sign the text.”
“These are Sarah’s words: ‘Perhaps it would be better to withdraw my name this time. I am very sorry for this. You know of my friendship and closeness to you.'” [https://gloria.tv/post/VHCXz1aRh8Ny3nmV3BFZrQ4p6] Sadly, it appears that Sarah has greater loyalty to Francis than to the truth. Is this Cardinal Robert Sarah’s new creed: “The Francis Creed”?
“I believe in Francis and that it is infallible dogma that he is pope no matter what evidence shows that he violated the Pope John Paul II constitution that governed the validity or invalidity of the 2013 conclave. He suffered under Bishop Rene Gracida who classified the evidence that the constitution was violated and called the cardinals to investigate. He descended into the Vatican gay lobby. He ascended to the papal throne where he sits surrounded by the gay lobby cardinals from where he shall judge the teachings of Jesus Christ, the Ten Commandments and all the infallible Catholic teachings““I believe in Amoris Laetitia, the Communion of adulterers, Francis’s representation of globalist teachings which embodies the Soros gospel of unlimited mass immigration, climate change, a coronavirus one-world government and the goddess Mother Earth everlasting.” It appears that this may be Cardinal Sarah’s new creed since he just betrayed the truth and also recently said “[a]rguably… pure heresy… [or, is it] in the very least a false and gross misrepresentation of the Catholic Faith” according to From Rome.
The editor of From Rome made this assertion when Cardinal Sarah claimed “He who is against [Francis] the Pope is by that very fact outside the Church.” Here is what the editor said against the statement: In his interview, Cardinal Sarah made this shameful confession of impiety: First, just three days after the Apostasy in the Vatican Gardens, in which Bergoglio presided over the adoration of the idol of Pachamama (the Andean equivalent of Astaroth), the Cardinal made this outrageous statement, in reference to Bergoglio: «Chi è contro il Papa è ipso facto fuori dalla Chiesa. La Provvidenza ci vede benissimo, sa?». My translation: He who is against the Pope is by that very fact outside the Church. The (Divine) Providence sees us very well, you know?” In all my years as a Catholic I have never heard such an absurd form of papolatry stated. There have been many Saints who argued or disagreed with the pope. They are now in Heaven. Saint Paul, the first of them, and his opposition is approved of by the Holy Spirit in Scripture. Arguably, then, what Cardinal Sarah has said is pure heresy. It is in the very least a false and gross misrepresentation of the Catholic Faith. But the Cardinal, to utter this just after the wicked deed in the Vatican, is incredible. That he uttered it at all, after 6 years of Bergoglio’s daily heresies and opposition from many Cardinals and Bishops, is incredible. IS THE CARDINAL SAYING THAT BURKE, SCHNEIDER, BRANDMULLER, ETC. are OUTSIDE of the Church? But Cardinal Sarah’s impiety does not stop there. In the same interview he says, immediately before the above statement: « La verità è che la Chiesa è rappresentata sulla terra dal Vicario di Cristo, cioè il Papa ». My translation: The truth is that the Church is represented on earth by the Vicar of Christ, that is, the Pope. One wonders if the Cardinal has ever been to seminary. Because for more than a thousand years the Church has taught: That Christ Jesus is represented on earth by His Sacred Ministers who receive valid ordination and jurisdiction in the Apostolic Succession. To say that the Church is represented by the Pope, is to make the Pope the Vicar of the Church, not the Vicar of Christ. It also excludes that anyone else represents the Church. But when you add both these errors of the Cardinal together, what he is really saying seems to be: The Church of Apostasy, which is the New Christ to be worshiped, is represented on Earth solely by Jorge Mario Bergoglio, its Pope.[https://fromrome.wordpress.com/2019/10/08/cardinal-sarahs-shameful-confession-of-impiety/] Another option besides Sarah being in “[a]rguably… pure heresy” might be that he is being brainwashed by cognitive re-definition management techniques?
In 2017, I wrote a article presenting evidence that Cardinal Gerhard Muller may have been a possible victim of a type of cognitive re-definition management manipulation when he worked under Francis in the Vatican and even afterward the effects were lingering.
It appears that Cardinal Muller after a few years away from the Vatican is getting a more balanced understanding of the infallible Catholic teachings with some of his recent statements against the proposed heresies of the Amazon Synod.
Unfortunately, Sarah, now, seems to be where Muller may have been which is possibly under a type of cognitive re-definition manipulation.
Here is the post I wrote in 2017 called “Is Francis Applying a Type of Gaslighting or Brainwashing Management Technology?” which may apply to Cardinal Sarah’s present situation:
“We need a total, I might say ‘brain washing.'”
Governor Jerry Brown made the above quote on climate change inside the Vatican.
He was invited by Francis’s Pontifical Academy of Sciences. (The Sacramento Bee, November 4, 2017, “World needs ‘brain washing’ on climate change, Jerry Brown says at Vatican”)
Are Francis and his inner circle at the Vatican applying a type of cognitive re-definition management manipulation called brainwashing and sometimes in popular culture called gaslighting?
Brainwashing and thought reform are other labels for this type of management manipulation.
Richard J. Ofshe, Ph.D., gives a overview of the cognitive re-definition manipulation:
“Coercive persuasion and thought reform are alternate names for programs of social influence capable of producing substantial behavior and attitude change through the use of coercive tactics, persuasion, and/or interpersonal and group-based influence manipulations (Schein 1961; Lifton 1961). Such programs have also been labeled ‘brainwashing’ (Hunter 1951).”[https://culteducation.com/group/798-abusive-controlling-relationships/3260-coercive-persuasion-and-attitude-changes.html]
Generally when thought reform is used in management manipulation it can be summed up as persons being pressured, usually by fear of losing their job or position in an organization, into changing their deepest beliefs.
(Management manipulation will be explained in more depth later by quoting cognitive re-definition expert Edgar Schein.)
Persons under this manipulation have only two choices.
They can stay with the organization so long as they are willing to change their deepest beliefs.
Or, they must be willing to leave the organization to keep their most cherish beliefs.
Fr. Thomas Weinandy is an example of one who decided to lose his position with the USCCB instead of betray his beliefs.
The courageous Fr. Weinandy said in a letter to Pope Francis:
You “seem to censor and mock those who interpret Chapter 8 of Amoris Laetitia in accord with Church tradition… Many bishops are silent… Many fear that if they speak their mind, they will be marginalized or worst.” (National Catholic Register, “Full Text of Father Weinandy’s Letter to Pope Francis,” November 1, 2017)
The example of the other side of the management manipulation coin would be all the silent bishops and Cardinals who “fear that if they speak their mind, they will be marginalized or worst” so they appear willing to betray their most cherish beliefs.
Vatican Expert Edward Pentin this year said “40 to 70 Cardinals” are silent because of their petrified fear of Pope Francis and his Vatican. Pentin said:
“I was told earlier this year by a senior prelate that there is great concern by a good number of Cardinals about this pontificate and I also heard from another well placed source that… their estimate of about 40 to 70 Cardinals want a change, they are very concern, but they are simply petrified about speaking out.” (Fr. Z’s Blog, November 4, 2017, “Edward Pentin’s talk at the Catholic Identity Conference 2017,” Quote from video in post)
These Cardinals by their silence appear willing to betray their most cherish beliefs.
In fact, Francis appointed Cardinal Blase Cupich said that bishops and Catholics must betray their most “cherished beliefs” which he associates with “and long-held biases” to follow Francis:
A final example of the other side of the management manipulation coin is Cardinal Gerhard Muller.
Remember Cardinal Muller’s interview that caused puzzlement among his co-workers according to an article by Vatican expert Edward Pentin.
The January 9, 2017 article for the National Catholic Register is titled “Cardinal Muller’s TV interview Causes Bewilderment.”
The Cardinal’s Sunday interview in which he criticized the Four Cardinal’s dubia is causing “bewilderment” because in it he contradicted “everything he said…on the matter until now.”
Those who know and work with him in the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) are puzzled by his behavior. Pentin wrote:
The “bewilderment” of those who know the Cardinal best can only have grown greater after Muller’s newest statement this week that those in adulterous second marriages can be sexually active if they according to scholar Steven O’Reilly have subjective “doubt as to the validity of the ‘first’ marriage, He [Cardinal Muller] writes:
‘In a matrimonial annulment procedure, therefore, the real will of marriage plays a fundamental role. In the case of a conversion in mature age (of a Catholic who is such only on the certificate of baptism) one can say that a Christian is convinced in conscience that their first bond, even if it took place in the form of a marriage in the Church, was not valid as a sacrament and that their current marriage-like bond, prized by children and with a living relationship matured over time with their current partner is a true marriage before God. Perhaps this cannot be canonically proven because of the material context or because of the culture of the dominant mentality. It is possible that the tension that occurs here between the public-objective status of the “second” marriage and subjective guilt can open, under the conditions described, the way to the sacrament of penance and Holy Communion, passing through a pastoral discernment in internal forum.’(see here; emphasis in the original article)’
“Though Cardinal’s Muller’s “answer” to the first dubia remains a “no” to communion for divorced and remarried whose first marriage involved a “valid marital bond;” he now seems to intend something of an escape clause where the validity of the bond is in doubt. Muller’s out clause in the quote above from his essay relies on the subjective belief of the individual – and the discernment of the internal forum – that there never was a “valid marital bond” in the first marriage. By this device, I suppose he thinks he does not run afoul of Familiaris Consortio 84.”
“Now, in my opinion, Muller’s new (?) position on this sort of internal forum ‘annulment’ is no less destructive of the institution of marriage in the Catholic Church than is blessing the “yet, but” communion-for-public-adulterer cases where a valid marital bond certainly exists. Certainly, to the observer in the pew they are the same thing. The obvious temptation for divorced and remarried individuals in such a position would be to discover they ‘sincerely doubt‘ the validity of their own first marriage, thereby easing acceptance of their second. There are other problems in such a system, not least of which is the lack of transparency of process and justice for both parties to the first marriage – especially if the other spouse would contest the subjective conscience of the other party or the discernment of the internal forum. I just do not see how Muller’s position, if I understand it correctly, saves him from contradicting Familiaris Consortio 84 (FC 84.” (romalocutaest.com, “Cardinal Muller, the Dubia and the Formal Correction,” October 31, 2017, by Steven O’Reilly [Click to see whole article: https://romalocutaest.com/])
Muller appears to be saying one can self annul, with the help of an undefined “internal forum,” a first marriage if one has subjective belief that the first marriage was never a “valid marital bond” and have sex in the “second marriage” which is not a valid marriage.
If Muller’s confused argument was true then the couple would be committing fornication.
In reality, what Muller is saying is that those in adulterous relationships can be sexually active if their subjective conscience doubts.
Muller’s confusion and bewildering reversal in beliefs and convictions might be explained by cognitive re-definition management manipulation.
Francis and his inner circle appear to be using Edgar Shein’s cognitive re-definition management manipulation which coercive persuasion and attitude change expert Richard Ofshe labeled “thought reform” and “brainwashing.”
This manipulation is specifically being used on persons who disagrees with their apparent cognitive re-definition of Church doctrine in Amoris Laetitia, the Argentina letter and other papal actions covered in the Filial Correction.
Below is Jesus Christ’s teaching on divorce and adultery, next is Francis’s apparent redefinition of Church teaching on divorce, adultery, conscience and reception of Holy Communion and, then, the doctrine of the Catholic of Church on these same subjects.
St. Matthew 5:32 says:But I say to you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, excepting for the cause of fornication, maketh her to commit adultery: and he that shall marry her that is put away, committeth adultery.
Amoris Laetitia and the Argentina letter reveal Francis’s new teaching to be:
Divorced and “remarried” Catholics, in some cases, can receive Holy Communion.
The Church has always taught those in the intrinsically evil act of adultery can’t receive Holy Communion.
So, Francis and his inner circle appear to have redefined conscience, intrinsically evil acts, Trent’s infallible doctrine of grace and adultery in a way that is contrary to the 2,000 year infallibly doctrine of the Catholic Church.
They redefine the intrinsically evil act of adultery as a “irregular relationship” and say mortal sin is not mortal sin because of the ultimacy of conscience and the supposed lack of grace to change sinful behavior.
This redefinition of Catholic conscience tells the murderer, rapist, sex abuser, the person in adultery or anyone in objective mortal sin that “if they can’t change their sinful behavior” (which contradicts Trent’s doctrine on grace) or don’t know it is wrong that they are not in mortal sin.
Therefore, they may receive Holy Communion without forming their conscience and changing their sinful behavior.
Their redefinition of conscience is wrong.
As St. Thomas said “An erroneous conscience may bind, but it does not excuse” as the great moral philosopher Ralph McInerny wrote:
“I think murder is wrong, but make up your own mind…It is pretty clear that we do not really accept the ultimacy of conscience in this way. That the rapist and the one raped have different views on the morality of rape does not much interest us when we consider the kind of deed it is….”
“Each agent is obligated to follow his conscience, but this is not tantamount to saying that every agent has a well formed conscience. It is erroneous to believe that theft is permitted. It is wrong to hold that adultery is all right…If it is erroneous, we will be interested in his changing it. Indeed, we often prevent people from acting on their real or alleged views when those views are erroneous. Professional thieves are not considered to have an interesting and defensible concept of private property. As Thomas put it, an erroneous conscience may bind, but it does not excuse.” (Ralph McInerny, “Ethica Thomistica,” 1982, 1997, page 110-111)
Francis and every Catholic is obliged to have a well formed conscience and have a firm amendment not to commit mortal sin in order to receive Holy Communion. The infallible Church doctrine of Trent teaches that God gives everyone the grace to repent and overcome sinful behavior.
These Catholic Church doctrines can’t be redefined, even by the Pope, because they are part of Revelation.
“GASLIGHTING is defined as:a form of psychological abuse in which a victim is manipulated into doubting their own memory, perception, and sanity.” “What we are a witness to is Francis, the bishop of Rome engaging in a form of PSYCHOLOGICAL ABUSE whereby he is manipulating the Faithful “priests” into doubting their understanding of the meaning of the passage contained in Holy Gospel according to St. Matthew 5:32, among others, thereby trying to get them to doubt not only the OBJECTIVE TRUTH that the Catholic Church has taught for two millennia, but also their own memory, perception and sanity (rationality and healthiness of the human mind, like the ability to recognize objective truth).”[https://sarmaticusblog.wordpress.com/2016/12/13/the-soap-bubble-papacy-the-battle-is-in-your-mind-francis-gaslighting/]
As stated earlier, Richard J. Ofshe, Ph.D., shows that the cognitive re-definition process is another label for gaslighting or “brainwashing”:
“Coercive persuasion and thought reform are alternate names for programs of social influence capable of producing substantial behavior and attitude change through the use of coercive tactics, persuasion, and/or interpersonal and group-based influence manipulations (Schein 1961; Lifton 1961). Such programs have also been labeled ‘brainwashing’ (Hunter 1951).”[https://culteducation.com/group/798-abusive-controlling-relationships/3260-coercive-persuasion-and-attitude-changes.html] They redefine the meaning of words which have objective meaning in morals, faith and reason through association and repetition with this coercive persuasion, then isolate those who don’t accept the new definitions, after which they ostracize the good name of any person or group that doesn’t accept the new “culture” and isn’t a “team player.”
The ostracized Dubia Cardinals have experienced this part of cognitive re-definition.
It appears possible that Cardinal Muller has been influenced by this persuasive process because he has “a career investment in the organization” of the Vatican even after he was dismissed by Francis.
Muller appears to still hope that Francis might bring him back to the Vatican or as least be in his good grace and not be ostracized and pressured like the Dubia Cardinals.
The very respected management scholar Edgar H. Schein of MIT Sloan School of Management, who Ofshe considers very important in thought reform or brainwashing research, explains the pressuring procedure in Organizational Learning as Cognitive Re-definition: Coercive Persuasion Revisited:
“It may seem absurd to the reader to draw an analogy between the coercive persuasion in political prisons and a new leader announcing that he or she is going ‘to change the culture.’
“However, if the leader really means it, if the change will really affect fundamental assumptions and values, one can anticipate levels of anxiety and resistance quite comparable to those one would see in prisons. The coercive element is not as strong. More people will simply leave before they change their cognitive structures, but if they have a financial stake or a career investment in the organization, they face the same pressure to ‘convert’ that the prisoner did. … Consider, for example, what it means to impose a ‘culture of teamwork’ based on ‘openness and mutual trust’ in an individualistic society.”
This is a process some corporate executives and gay ideology leftists, such as Pope Francis appointee Fr. James Martin, with media marketing ability learned they could use to create massive peer pressure – some would call it a “mob mentality,” which changes the worldview of people with weak morals and weak faith.
These types of people see themselves as the “elite” because they accept the “culture of teamwork” and have “openness” to the new definitions.
Catholics who are open to the redefinition of “mercy” to mean the ultimacy of conscience may cease to be Christians because they deny that the Incarnate God-man Jesus Christ died to save us from our sins.
Pope John Paul II’s Veritatis Splendor warns against the ultimacy of conscience in the third part called “Lest the Cross of Christ Be Emptied of its Power.”
The ultimacy of conscience denies mercy because if there is no objective sin to be forgiven and if one doesn’t have by grace the power to overcome sin then the cross of Christ is emptied of its power.
Pope Francis and his inner circle who are ostracizing the Dubia Cardinals for questioning the parts of Amoris Laetitia that appear to reject Veritatis Splendor are apparently rejecting the cross of Christ and saying it has lost its power.
They talk alot about atheistic secular issues and social work, but rarely or never about life after the death of the body, salvation and damnation.
Francis and his inner circle say Jesus had authority because he was (past tense) a servant, but rarely if ever that Jesus has authority because he is (eternal now) God.
One reason that they rarely or never talk about the four last things is that apparently in making individual conscience supreme, they deny truth, the authority of God and implicitly the existence of God.
Pope John Paul II said in Veritatis Splendor:
“Certain currents of modern thought…are explicitly atheist. The individual conscience is accorded the status of a supreme tribunal of moral judgment…about good and evil…in this way the inescapable claims of truth disappear.”
It may be a valid question to ask those who promote these redefinitions: Do you even believe in the Incarnation and salvation since you appear to deny the very words of Jesus Christ and his Church that he died to save us from our sins?
These persons of weak faith and weak morals wishing to be part of the “culture” or “team” are open to the managers semantic redefinition of “good or bad.” Schein explains how it works:
“‘Cognitive redefinition’ involved two different processes. First, concepts like crime and espionage had to be semantically redefined. Crime is an abstraction that can mean different things in different conceptual systems when one makes it concrete. Second, standards of judgment had to be altered. Even within the western concept of crime, what was previously regarded as trivial was now seen to be serious. The anchors by which judgments are made are shifted and the point of neutrality is moved. Behavior that was previously judged to be neutral or of no consequence became criminal, once the anchor of what was a minimum crime was shifted. These two processes, semantic re-definition and changing one’s anchors for what is good or bad, acceptable or unacceptable, are the essence of cognitive re-definition.”[Organizational Learning as Cognitive Re-definition: Coercive Persuasion Revisited]
Fr. Antonio Spadaro who is called the “mouthpiece” of Francis unwittingly pointed to where cognitive re-definition leads to by using a Doublethink phrase from the novel 1984.
Doublethink is a process that uses “peer pressure” and other “programmes” on “thought-criminals.” Spadaro Tweeted:Theology is not #Mathematics. 2 + 2 in #Theology can make 5. Because it has to do with #God and real #life of #people…
— Antonio Spadaro (@antoniospadaro) January 5, 2017 Wikipedia explains:
-“The phrase ‘two plus two equals five’ (‘2 + 2 = 5′) is a slogan used in many different forms of media, most notably in Part One, Chapter Seven of George Orwell‘s book Nineteen Eighty-Four; therein, it is used as an example of an obviously false dogma one may be required to believe, similar to other obviously false slogans by the Party in the novel. It is contrasted with the phrase ‘two plus two makes four,’ the obvious—but politically inexpedient—truth.”
Orwell’s protagonist, Winston Smith, uses the phrase to wonder if the State might declare ‘two plus two equals five’ as a fact; he ponders whether, if everybody believes it, does that make it true? The Inner Party interrogator of thought-criminals, O’Brien, says CV of the mathematically false statement that control over physical reality is unimportant; so long as one controls one’s own perceptions to what the Party wills, then any corporeal act is possible, in accordance with the principles of doublethink.”[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2_%2B_2_%3D_5]
-“Doublethink is the act of simultaneously accepting two mutually contradictory beliefs as correct, often in distinct social contexts.[1] Doublethink is related to, but differs from, hypocrisy and neutrality. Also related is cognitive dissonance, in which contradictory beliefs cause conflict in one’s mind. Doublethink is notable due to a lack of cognitive dissonance — thus the person is completely unaware of any conflict or contradiction.”
The above could be an example of how the cognitive re-definition and/or the Doublethink process worked on Muller.
Cardinal Muller had cognitive dissonance, according to those who know him at the CDF, about Amoris Laetitia teachings which contradicted with Church doctrine.
But, now it appears that he is “completely unaware of a conflict or contradiction” between Amoris Laetitia and the 2,000 year old doctrines of the Church.
To Muller’s credit in the face of the tremendous peer pressure, until now, was saying couples in adulterous sexual sinful behavior are not allowed to receive Communion despite his cognitive dissonance between Amoris Laetitia and Church teachings.
Sadly, Muller is no longer in cognitive dissonance, but his new position is total confusion.
As stated before, he appears to be saying one can self annul a first marriage if one has subjective belief that the first marriage was never a “valid marital bond” and have sex in the “second marriage” which is not a valid marriage.
If Muller’s confused argument was true then the couple would be committing fornication.
In reality, what Muller is saying is that those in adulterous relationships can be sexually active if their subjective conscience doubts.
Sadly, how many millions of Catholics are having cognitive dissonance and are beginning to deny that adulterous sinful behaviors are mortally sinful because of Francis, his inner circle, the many fearful bishops and now Muller?
How many are in danger of hell because of their gaslighting?
Francis and his inner circle are responsible for all the souls in danger of hell because of their teachings.
The Dubia Cardinals are, also, responsible for those souls if they don’t do all in their power to rebuke and correct those false teachings.
The Dubia Cardinals need to issue the correction for the sake of those millions of Catholics who are in danger of losing their souls to hell and also for their own souls.
They need to remember that Dante said:
“The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis.”
Pray an Our Father now for reparation for the sins committed because of Francis’s Amoris Laetitia.
Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Church as well as the Triumph of the Kingdom of the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Stop for a moment of silence, ask Jesus Christ what He wants you to do now and next. In this silence remember God, Father, Son and Holy Ghost – Three Divine Persons yet One God, has an ordered universe where you can know truth and falsehood as well as never forget that He wants you to have eternal happiness with Him as his son or daughter by grace. Make this a practice. By doing this you are doing more good than reading anything here or anywhere else on the Internet.
Francis Notes:
– Doctor of the Church St. Francis de Sales totally confirmed beyond any doubt the possibility of a heretical pope and what must be done by the Church in such a situation:
“[T]he Pope… WHEN he is EXPLICITLY a heretic, he falls ipso facto from his dignity and out of the Church, and the Church MUST either deprive him, or, as some say, declare him deprived, of his Apostolic See.” (The Catholic Controversy, by St. Francis de Sales, Pages 305-306)
– LifeSiteNews, “Confusion explodes as Pope Francis throws magisterial weight behind communion for adulterers,” December 4, 2017:
The AAS guidelines explicitly allows “sexually active adulterous couples facing ‘complex circumstances’ to ‘access the sacraments of Reconciliation and the Eucharist.'”
– On February 2018, in Rorate Caeli, Catholic theologian Dr. John Lamont:
“The AAS statement… establishes that Pope Francis in Amoris Laetitia has affirmed propositions that are heretical in the strict sense.”
– On December 2, 2017, Bishop Rene Gracida:
“Francis’ heterodoxy is now official. He has published his letter to the Argentina bishops in Acta Apostlica Series making those letters magisterial documents.”
Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Church by the bishops by the grace of God.

· Did the lead medical authority on America’s COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Anthony Fauci, deny under oath the fact that he routed U.S. aid money, through a third party, to the ground-zero Wuhan virology lab to enhance gain-of-function viral research?
· Did Attorney General Merrick Garland sic the FBI on parents complaining about critical race theory—on the concocted accusation from a school board group, in part cooked up with White House staffer help, that the parents were likely “domestic terrorists”?
· Did we really spend 22 months and $40 million chasing the “Russian collusion” hoax, a myth ginned up by the left-wing media and its enablers in the FBI and CIA?
Does the public really believe:
· Our current ministry of information that the “border is closed”?
· Or that high gas prices are good?
· Or that empty shelves reflect strong demand and will result in a more mature public no longer needing to buy superfluous goods?
· Or that spiraling inflation is proof of a strong economy?
· Or that the road to the Kabul airport was open to anyone with a U.S. passport who wished to leave?
· Or that the accidental U.S. drone killing of a family in Kabul was a “righteous strike”?
· Or that Russians and Trump operatives created a fake lost Hunter Biden laptop, as our former intelligence officials implied on the eve of the election?
Since when did the government and the now state media issue such serial lies? When did we begin to resemble our old Cold War enemies—to the delight of our current enemies?
Commissars and Culturalists
In the ancient days of the Cold War, the United States relied on its open society, political tolerance, the Bill of Rights, and meritocracy to outproduce and out-arm both the far larger Soviet Union, and Red China.
In other words, the Soviet commissariat and ideological watchdogs of Communism were drags on Russian and Chinese research and development. Apparatchiks were not only unproductive but expensive. They even hampered the pursuit of science if they believed it challenged the monopoly of Marxist-Leninist ideology and control.
In the case of Mao’s Zedong’s Cultural Revolution, Communist China destroyed entire cadres of scientific and intellectual research teams for generations by unleashing the Red Guards who applied Orwellian revolutionary litmus tests to the most productive elements of society. And they usually found them worthy of death, imprisonment, or forced nonexistence for their supposed lack of correct Maoist fervor—as proven by reading the wrong books, wearing the wrong clothes, saying the wrong slogans, or belonging to the wrong faction.
At the end of the Cold War, the crumbling Soviet Union still had a population 40 million larger than that of America, and an area over twice as large, with greater natural resources. Yet after initial disarmament and confusion in the immediate postwar era, the United States throughout the ensuing 40 years of the Cold War consistently out-produced the Soviet Union and fielded more sophisticated and high-tech weaponry, as it enjoyed a far more innovative higher-education system and corporate sector.
The same disparities held true of Red China. Beijing was never able to leverage its much larger population (some 850,000 million larger then than the United States in 1989), and similar area, to threaten America militarily, technologically, or economically. Again, rigid ideological censorship, indoctrination, and coercion spelled the doom of both Communist behemoths. In both, mediocre and politically correct lackeys rose to positions of influence, while the unorthodox, innovative, individualistic, and outspoken talents were deemed enemies of the revolution, of the people, and especially of the ruling apparat.
In contrast, the United States even welcomed countercultural and idiosyncratic capitalists—from the wacky founder of CNN Ted Turner to the unorthodox Nebraska investor Warren Buffet to the loner Steve Jobs of Apple. SAT and ACT college-entrance standardized tests were seen as meritocratic. They were envisioned as a balance to toady letters of recommendations, wealth and status, or grade inflation and distortions, and thus helped ensure talented undergraduates from all walks of life.
Whereas in the Soviet and Maoist systems, large swaths of public discourse were off-limits—curbing not just free expression but inhibiting science, history, art, literature, music, and religion—in theformer United States, citizens spoke freely about anything and assumed that their talent and hard work could trump even the ideological, ethnic, racial, religious and class prejudices of the ruling classes.
The result was that postwar American universities surpassed their global hostile counterparts in almost every field of research. When lazy corporations and unions squandered their postwar global prominence, natural self-criticism and self-reflection ensured more innovative successors who quickly regained advantages over their 1980s Japanese and German economic rivals—who had been deemed for a time during the Carter era as the real winners of World War II.
No longer.
Most American universities are now madly rushing to institutionalize expensive, unproductive, and dangerous commissars to warp research, restrict free speech, and monitor instruction and expression. They are euphemistically deemed diversity, equity, and inclusion administrators and human relations directors. Like French Jacobins, Russian Bolsheviks, and Chinese Maoists they justify their anti-Enlightenment and totalitarian means by their supposedly exalted ends of “equity.”
Maoist Woke
A social media lynch mob, born and bred in America, equates incorrect thought with felonious behavior. Our online American Red Guards act as judge, jury, and executioner canceling out careers and lives in the manner of a virtual online gulag—in hopes of deterring all incorrect thought and expression. Ministries of the U.S. government sic the FBI, as if it is the KGB, on incorrect expression at school board hearings. The IRS both targets and exempts the elite on the basis of ideology. The CIA and Pentagon are likewise weaponized, as attuned to the dictates of social justice ministers at home as thwarting enemies abroad.
In the culture at large, the way movies are reviewed, books are rated, and universities calibrated so often hinges on the apparent degree of wokeist adherence. As in the Soviet and Maoist systems that likewise in multifaceted ways destroyed meritocracy, so too engineers, researchers, CEOs, mavericks, innovators, writers, artists, and musicians now calibrate their own career trajectories in terms of whether they will satisfy or offend critical race theory, green, or identity politics commissars.
The Communist Chinese put dunce caps on professors and political operatives deemed counterrevolutionaries; we simply dox, cancel, ostracize, and shout them down or drive them off campuses.
Note how the United States, in its woke reinvention, is doing its best to stifle creativity, free expression, and scientific and social research by applying ideological parameters and doling out political rewards and punishments for right and wrong thinking.
Does anyone really believe that Governor Andrew Cuomo (D-N.Y.)—serial sexual harasser and virtual killer of thousands of elderlies who were the victims of his insane policy of transferring the COVID-infected into rest homes—deserved an Emmy award for his talents?
Or was it his daily anti-Trump agitprop and race and gender virtue-signaling that delighted his Hollywood aficionados? Can a comedian still joke about anything he pleases, a professor lecture without fear of disruption, or a CEO publicly doubt critical race theory?
As we learned from the impoverishment of the Soviet Union and Maoist China, eventually the ideological pandemic results in poverty in the streets. Or in our current terms, nine months of constant woke bullying and government ideological recalibration really do result in internecine racial animus, empty shelves, sky-high gasoline and natural gas prices, stagflation, soaring debt, high labor non-participation, military mediocrity, international humiliation, and a national state of fear and paranoia.
Are our law and medical schools admitting students on the basis of their GPAs, test scores, and recommendations? Or do they assume that ideology, race, gender, and ethnicity will better serve their own ideological rather than meritocratic agendas?
Do we hire K-12 administrators on the basis of their proven records of improving student test scores, and upping graduate rates while avoiding grade inflation, or on the criteria of their own appearance and proper vocabulary of woke activism?
Do the COVID-19 public-health policies of Admiral Rachel Levine, or the administrative talents of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg in solving supply-chain hold-ups, define their media coverage, or do we hear more about their sexual identification and status?
Will we soon issue “The Hero of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Revolution” medals?
The New Vladimir Warns Us About the Old Vladimir?
Notice how both the former Soviet Union and the former Maoist Chinese are reacting to our own regressions into systems that they once embraced, but finally discarded when they resulted only in poverty, civil strife, and ultimately mass death.
Autocrat Vladimir Putin, smiling as the Cheshire Cat, recently lectured America on its bizarre regression into racial tribalism, ideological intolerance, and cultural revolutionary nihilism. Putin surreally assumed the role of the all-knowing “I warned you” truth-teller, as he compared 2021 America to his own former Soviet Union.
So, he acted delighted that such wokeism might do to the United States what Sovietism once did to his Mother Russia—creating the Orwellian conditions that can only lead to implosion—while bashing illiberal Americans as if they were the natural descendants of Bolsheviks. Indeed, Putin managed somehow both to wish us well in our headlong descent into Hell and to virtue signal his moral superiority and greater historical insight:
The advocates of so-called ‘social progress’ believe they are introducing humanity to some kind of a new and better consciousness. Godspeed, hoist the flags as we say, go right ahead.
It may come as a surprise to some people, but Russia has been there already. After the 1917 revolution, the Bolsheviks, relying on the dogmas of Marx and Engels, also said that they would change existing ways and customs and not just political and economic ones, but the very notion of human morality and the foundations of a healthy society. The destruction of age-old values, religion and relations between people, up to and including the total rejection of family (we had that, too), encouragement to inform on loved ones—all this was proclaimed progress and, by the way, was widely supported around the world back then and was quite fashionable, same as today.
There is nothing like an old Bolshevik grinning that ossified American wokesters are stuck circa 1920s in the old Bolshevik Russia.
Racist Chinese Love Racist Wokeism
China just about every month displays some new sort of frightening strategic weapon or boasts of yet another stratagem of destroying Taiwan. Meanwhile, at about the same pace, our defense secretary, chairman of the Joint Chiefs, chief of naval operations, or CENTCOM generals offer another reassurance that Afghan refugees arrive in correct gender ratios and with culturally sensitive food awaiting them, or that advocates of white supremacy and white privilege are systematically being rooted out of the military, or the military is busy fighting climate change and white rage.
So, the new Communist-state capitalist Chinese naturally gloat over our wokeness. Whereas a Putin sees fundamentalist diversity, equity, inclusion religion as suicidal Bolshevism worthy of celebration, the Chinese are more adroit. They prefer not to mock but to tap into what they see as our fatal strategic disadvantages. In other words, rather than boasting that even the former Soviet Union is tired of destructive ideological wokeism, Beijing eggs it on—albeit in America.
During the COVID-19 pandemic that China likely birthed—even if accidentally—and helped to spread, the Chinese hierarchy replied to any criticism with accusations of “racism!” An accusatory China was hardly shamed that it is one of the most racist countries in the world and institutionally discriminates against non-atheists and the non-Han Chinese residing in its midst. Instead, Chinese propagandists brilliantly egg on U.S. wokeism in the surety that it is both weakening the economic, military, and political sinews of the country, and useful in deflecting its own racist, imperialist, and colonialist policies by accusing America of just those sins.
Are we supposed to treat seriously charges of racism from an accuser that has incarcerated in forced labor camps over 1 million Uighur Muslims, and yet annually sends over 300,000 of its brightest and most privileged Chinese youth to American universities where supposedly they would be targets of racist Americans?
The chairman of the Joint Chiefs either hated his former president so much or was so enthralled or terrified by his Communist Chinese military counterparts, that he called them to reassure them that the U.S. military would warn them beforehand should Trump consider any preemptive action directed at China. After that, China likely felt it had already won the propaganda war.
Beijing interprets such naïve American magnanimity as weakness to be exploited and hardly to be reciprocated in kind. It is assured that no Chinese leader would ever act so foolhardy as to send his American counterpart any such reassurance. It grows even more supercilious that while Mark Milley would rightly never warn Putin ahead of time about any supposedly lunatic move by Donald Trump, the four-star general will fall all over himself in appeasing the Chinese, who in the narrow terms of their nuclear stockpile are a small threat compared to Moscow’s nukes.
In a strange transference of domestic witch-hunting to foreign policy, the American woke detested the Russians in a way they never did the Communist Chinese. And yet by any fair measure, Trump was harder on the Russians than was any prior administration. But according to woke party lines, he was considered soft on Russia and excessively hard on China.
China, to take one example, was able to warp Hollywood enough to demand whiter actors for its huge domestic market, while Russians were the favorite tattooed, oligarchic, and orthodox villains of most Hollywood spy movies. So, stereotyping and hating Russian belligerents became patriotic while doing the same to the wealthier Chinese was racism.
Why the asymmetry in appeasing one totalitarian threat and ignoring the other? Was it the greater assets of China and thus our elites’ greater chances to get rich with them? Was it because however dictatorial and murderous the Chinese may be, they were still “the Other” and thus de facto victims of the American oppressor class?
The Cold War has been over for over 30 years. But who really won that war of ideas may be the real question of the new millennium.
After all, America is now seeking to emulate the crude modalities of the old Soviet Union and Maoist China that the now-gleeful autocratic Russians and Chinese at least realize nearly destroyed them.

How did our southern border simply vanish — in complete nullification of all federal immigration laws?
Since when did our unelected leaders — Dr. Anthony Fauci of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, James Comey and Andrew McCabe, the former directors of the FBI, former director of the CIA John Brennan, and James Clapper, former director of national intelligence — feel they could routinely exceed their legal authority?
Who allowed them to spin untruths or feign memory loss while under oath before our Congress? Who gave these unelected partisans the power to warp the very political process of the nation?
How is it that our tax-exempt universities and publicly funded colleges ignore the First Amendment and due process with impunity in their campus kingdoms?
How did a small number of extremists hijack our culture — toppling statues in the night, erasing ancient names from streets and monuments, canceling our Founders, hounding their critics, and assuming birthright amnesty for rioting, looting, and arson?
Why did America abruptly give up its long aspirations to be a racially blind society?
Why did our universities, our media, our professional sports teams, our corporations, and Hollywood revert to pre-civilizational tribalism, insisting that our superficial appearances were now central not incidental to who we American citizens are?
When did our generals and admirals begin talking down to citizens about their supposed biases, prejudices, and conspiracies, while on their watch nonchalantly suffering the worst military defeat in the last half-century?
Why are citizens struggling to fuel their cars? Is it because an arrogant Biden administration deliberately cut back oil and gas production, canceled pipelines, and put vast swaths of federal lands off-limits to drillers?
Is first-world America now Venezuela, as are our store shelves empty, our ports stay paralyzed, and our streets of the major cities after dark grow as unsafe as medieval cities?
Why do the homeless freely violate health and public safety laws, in a way the middle-class citizen would be jailed if he did the same?
Since when do the formerly hardest working people in the world sit home awaiting inflated government checks while their country is in desperate need of their labor?
How did it happen that thrifty citizens permitted their government to run up $30 trillion in debt, and to claim printing money would bring anything other than rampant inflation? Are we so rich or so stupid that we can just abandon tens of billions of dollars of our best military equipment to terrorists in Afghanistan, so secure that we can flee in ignominious defeat and abandon our allies?
American citizens must show their passports when they reenter their own country, but not noncitizens who enter illegally and for whom our borders are their open doors.
Federal employees and soldiers must be vaccinated, but not so refugees and illegal immigrants who are exempt from such mandates.
Citizens go to jail if they lie under oath, not so their unelected grandees. Everyone must show an ID to board a plane, but not so to vote — as if the sacred right of a citizen is less important than a vacation.
The very wealthy and the very poor often are de facto exempt from onerous regulations. But middle-class citizens lack the clout of the former and the romance of the latter, and so are targeted unduly because they follow the law, pay their fines and taxes, and become the bureaucrats’ primary targets. When societies go broke, their desperate regulators and functionaries fixate on the shrinking law-abiding middle class that alone always complies and pays up.
The root cause of the chaos? The American citizen is dying and is losing civilian control of the country. Eroding is the ancient idea of an empowered and self-reliant middle-class that makes its own laws, sees that they are enforced, and ensures that accountable elected officials — and not unelected functionaries — govern the country.
How did the forgotten citizen lose control of America?
For years the middle class has seen its wages shrink, as the hyper-wealthy got richer, and the poor grew more reliant on subsidies. There is no sacred space anymore between secure borders to sustain a common, shared civic identity.
Somehow running a state bureaucracy became a kingly perk, as clerks aggregated the powers of judges, juries, and executioners. When progressives felt they had lost public support, they sought either to change the demography of America or to jettison its ancient customs, traditions, and even constitutional norms — or both
Globally spreading Westernized consumer capitalism was one thing, but letting a mostly non-democratic world, rather than U.S. citizens, share in the governance of the United States, was suicidal. Yes, citizenship is dying — but it is not yet dead.
In its eleventh hour, we can sense it stirring from its coma. Seemingly out of the shadows, millions of angry middle-class parents are reemerging to reclaim local control of their woke schools, despite being smeared as “domestic terrorists” worthy of being hounded by the FBI.
Thousands of state and federal employees and soldiers are demanding to know why those with naturally acquired COVID-immunity must be fired or discharged unless they are vaccinated, despite often being better protected from COVID-19 than are the inoculated.
Communities along the southern borders are jettisoning political orthodoxies and choosing new leaders to enforce old immigration laws for their own protection.
A reckoning is coming, through popular protests now and a year from now in the midterms. Radicals and leftists have assumed battered and denigrated citizens are forever comatose, but they have been silently seething — and are just starting to resuscitate in ways the intolerant Woke cannot even fathom but will soon learn all too well.

Dr. Mazza: “Centuries of Saints and Scholars hold that Ratzinger is just Plain Wrong… Substantial Error [is] when your will Chooses Something Based on… Bad Information… his Renunciation was Invalid”
Here’s another interesting quote, I’ll try to weave this in. The very month, February 2013, when Pope Benedict makes this renunciation. Gianfranco Ghirlanda, a Jesuit, the former rector of the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, and a very highly respected doctor of law, in of all publications it was Cattolica Civilta, the Jesuit- [La Civilta Cattolica]…
… He says that Ratzinger”s view of the sacramental ontological munus, when applied to the juridical office of the Bishop of Rome, is going to create major problems. Let me give you his exact words. “The greatest difficulty that arises from the affirmation, that the primacial power of the Roman pontiff comes from his Episcopal consecration and not from the acceptance of the election, would be that in the event that the pope resigned from his office, not because of death, he would never lose the power as it is conferred by a sacramental act, which has an indelible character.” Well, this is precisely what Benedict has stated in his interviews with Peter Seewald, why he’s Pope Emeritus, and not simply Bishop Emeritus, or Cardinal. It’s why he still issues apostolic blessings in his own name and why his proper form of address is still His Holiness, but here’s the wrinkle. Ghirlanda and other candidates and theologians not to mention centuries of saints and scholars hold that Ratzinger is just plain wrong and that’s not how it works.
He’s just wrong. Here’s the problem, if Ratzinger had ever been convinced of the real truth of the matter, I argue, he likely, would never have renounced the papacy, seeing as how committed he is to fulfilling his Petrine vow and living only for the Lord and his flock. So what do you call this? This is called substantial error. When your will chooses something based on the fact that your intellect has bad information. This is the theory that I personally hold to, why I think his resignation, or his renunciation was invalid. And I can go into more detail on that. – Dr. Edmund Mazza
In an interview on PCM, renowned Catholic historian Dr. Edmund Mazza, a former full professor of history at Azuza Pacific University, said that “if Ratzinger [Pope Benedict XVI] had ever been convinced of the real truth of the matter, I argue, he likely, would never have renounced the papacy, seeing as how committed he is to fulfilling his Petrine vow and living only for the Lord and his flock. So what do you call this?This is called substantial error. When your will chooses something based on the fact that your intellect has bad information. This is the theory that I personally hold to, why I think his resignation, or his renunciation was invalid“:
There’s been several book-length interviews between the German journalist Peter Seewald and Pope Benedict. I mean going back to when he was Cardinal Ratzinger…
… Seewald puts this question to Pope Benedict. He says is a slow down in the ability to perform, reason enough to climb down from the chair of Peter? And Instead of saying yes, next question. Benedict responds “One can of course make that accusation, but it would be a functional misunderstanding. The follower of Peter is not merely bound to a function. The office enters into your very being. In this regard fulfilling a function is not the only criterion.” What misunderstanding and what is all this about function? He repeats the word three times. A simple “yes” would do. But Benedict doesn’t give a yes or no answer to a simple question. All the more bizarre, since his answer in fact must be a “yes”. Otherwise he’s contradicting the very reason he gave for stepping down in his official resignation speech, if you follow me. So something is off…
… It would be a functional misunderstanding. What do you mean “misunderstanding”? You gave us that excuse, for leaving the papacy. So it forces us to figure out what does he mean by “function” And what does he mean when he says that the munus enters into your very being. You see were back to ontology again, if we haven’t lost anybody…
… Benedict in his declaratio is stipulating, like a lawyer, that, “Yes, I’m going to give up the active exercise of the papacy. I no longer have the strength to do the active stuff, but I’m stipulating that I’m only leaving to become Pope Emeritus”. Not even Bishop Emeritus, he’s leaving as Pope Emeritus. Then of course he gave talks. After February 11th, he gave a talk at one of his last general audiences, where he says that, “I no longer return to private life.”
He basically says whoever accepts the Petrine Ministry, it’s a forever, it’s an always. So how do we understand that? So I did a deep dive into how does he understand munus. And what I discovered is that Vatican II, surprise, surprise, introduced a new wrinkle into how we understand priesthood, episcopacy and even the papacy. So let me give you a brief quote from Vatican II…
… It goes like this “Without higherarchical communion the sacramental ontological munus, which ought to be distinguished from the canonical juridical aspect, cannot be exercised”. Now let me break that down for the average person in the pew. In other words, what Vatican II is saying is that when you are consecrated a bishop you are given a sacramental, which means that you can never get rid of it, ontological meaning it’s transcendent, munus. What does munus mean here? It means a gift that allows service.
How’s the best way of expressing this? Vatican II talks about this in Gaudiaum et spes: Christ has three munira. To teach, to sanctify and to govern. The priests and bishops, and for that matter, the pope, what do they do? They teach, they sanctify and they govern and these are the three munira or the munis’…
… That is distinguished from the canonical, canon law, juridical law aspect. It’s like this. Traditionally the church has understood that there is something called potestas ordinis, which is the sacred power to teach to govern and sanctify; that a priest or a bishop gets when they are ordained or consecrated. That is directly from God. You never lose it, but because you can lose it. Like you said a priest who gets de-frocked, or a pope who resigns. Like Pope Celestine, back in the Middle Ages, they would no longer have their munus, their office.
So there must be something, another aspect to the munus besides the sacramental ontological, or you would never lose it, if you follow what I mean. There are also theologians that tell us, Thomas Aquinas, Bellarmine and Vatican I, they tell us that there is also the canonical juridical aspect. So in other words a bishop becomes the Bishop of Los Angeles, New York, or wherever, Paris. That is a grant of authority given to him by the Pope, by the church, which is separate from the munus that was given to him when he was consecrated a bishop, and somehow the two work together.
Vatican II says that without hierarchical communion, without being in union with the pope and the Catholic bishops, the sacramental ontological munus or the potestas ordinis, which is distinguished from the canonical juridical aspect, which we were just talking about, it cannot be exercised. At consecration you’re given the gift, the munus, to teach, to sanctify and to govern, but you’re not allowed to exercise that unless you’re in hierarchical communion, unless the pope has given you a canonical juridical office…
… Through my research what I’ve discovered is that Joseph Ratzinger, the darling of the parity of Vatican II, and of the post-Vatican II church, he is on record on multiple occasions as saying that what really counts is your sacramental, ontological munus, and not the canonical juridical office, if you will. Let me explain why this is important. The devil’s in the details, so to speak…
… Canon law, as it is generally understood is pretty simple. It says Canon 332 part 2, says “If it happens that the Roman Pontiff renounces his office… “In the original Latin, of the 1983 code of Canon law, the word is munus. If it happens that the Roman Pontiff renounces his munus, it is required for validity that the renunciation is made freely, and be properly manifested.” You know, which is why he gave a declartio on February 11th 2013, but not that it be accepted by anyone at all. It’s not like the pope has to turn in his resignation to a superior. He has no superior. The key thing here is, again he has to renounce his munus, his office. But, now we get back to the sacramental ontological munus versus the canonical juridical munus, if you will. Let me introduce a quote from Joseph Ratzinger from Principles of Catholic theology from 1987, available from Ignatius press. Basically he says, “I disagree with those who teach that “The papacy is not a sacrament that it is only a juridical institution, but this juridical institution has set itself above the sacramental order.”
Let me unpack that. Razinger is arguing that what’s important foremost is the sacramental ontological munus not the “office” that perhaps comes and goes. Obviously, Benedict ruffled a number of feathers with his renunciation and his taking on the office of Pope Emeritus, right? For example, Cardinal Walter Brandmuller, one of the dubia fathers, was very upset. Roberto De Matei, Dr. Matei was upset and Dr. Matei went on record saying, “look there is no such thing as a sacramental papacy. It is only a juridical institution.” Yet we have this quote. And, why is that? You could never lose it if it was sacramental, but you can lose it if it is just a juridical office…
… What does Joseph Ratzinger say? He says, “No, no, no. “I disagree with those people who say the papacy is not a sacrament, that it’s only a juridical institution. That juridical institution has set itself above the sacramental order.” Now here is another quote from Ratzinger right after the counsel. This is from his book Theological highlights of Vatican II, Published 1966 by Paulist Press.
Again another money line. “The ministry of the bishop, meaning munus in Latin is not an externally assigned administrative power, but rather, is itself sacramentally-based. The ruling of the church and its spiritual mystery are inseparable.”
Here’s another interesting quote, I’ll try to weave this in. The very month, February 2013, when Pope Benedict makes this renunciation. Gianfranco Ghirlanda, a Jesuit, the former rector of the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, and a very highly respected doctor of law, in of all publications it was Cattolica Civilta, the Jesuit- [La Civilta Cattolica]…
… He says that Ratzinger”s view of the sacramental ontological munus, when applied to the juridical office of the Bishop of Rome, is going to create major problems.

Stop for a moment of silence, ask Jesus Christ what He wants you to do now and next. In this silence remember God, Father, Son and Holy Ghost – Three Divine Persons yet One God, has an ordered universe where you can know truth and falsehood as well as never forget that He wants you to have eternal happiness with Him as his son or daughter by grace.

Francis Notes:
– Doctor of the Church St. Francis de Sales totally confirmed beyond any doubt the possibility of a heretical pope and what must be done by the Church in such a situation:
“[T]he Pope… WHEN he is EXPLICITLY a heretic, he falls ipso facto from his dignity and out of the Church, and the Church MUST either deprive him, or, as some say, declare him deprived, of his Apostolic See.” (The Catholic Controversy, by St. Francis de Sales, Pages 305-306)
– LifeSiteNews, “Confusion explodes as Pope Francis throws magisterial weight behind communion for adulterers,” December 4, 2017:
The AAS guidelines explicitly allows “sexually active adulterous couples facing ‘complex circumstances’ to ‘access the sacraments of Reconciliation and the Eucharist.'”
– On February 2018, in Rorate Caeli, Catholic theologian Dr. John Lamont:
“The AAS statement… establishes that Pope Francis in Amoris Laetitia has affirmed propositions that are heretical in the strict sense.”
– On December 2, 2017, Bishop Rene Gracida:
“Francis’ heterodoxy is now official. He has published his letter to the Argentina bishops in Acta Apostlica Series making those letters magisterial documents.”
Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Church by the bishops by the grace of God.

Archbishop Viganò’s Statement on the Biden Visit to the Vatican
STATEMENT
of Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò
on the occasion of the visit of Joe Biden to the Vatican
On the occasion of the October 29 visit to the Vatican, the press agencies have spread the news that Joe Biden reported the content of the meeting and said that Francis called him “a good Catholic,” inviting him to “continue to receive Communion.” It is disconcerting that, to date, no clarifying comment has come from the Vatican Press Office. This leaves us to presume that Joe Biden’s words correspond to the truth and that Bergoglio actually spoke them.
Even if what Biden said corresponds perfectly to the intemperate quips of Jorge Mario Bergoglio – who called a notorious radical abortion activist a “great Italian” – it is evident that such statements represent an unheard of scandal, since they fail to condemn the positions of a political personality who supports abortion, disavow the immutable position of the Magisterium of the Church, and resound as a blatant invitation to commit sacrilege, profaning the Most Holy Eucharist by receiving it in the state of public and manifest sin.
Every Catholic knows that the killing of a defenseless creature in the mother’s womb is a horrendous crime; and that the most serious scandal is given to the faithful not only by Joe Biden as a convinced supporter of abortion, but also by Bergoglio himself, who is recognized as holding the authority of Supreme Pastor of the Church. His work of demolition knows no respite before the astonished silence of the Cardinals and Bishops. The very rare exceptions of Pastors who truly have at heart the souls entrusted to them – the example of His Eminence Cardinal Burke stands out among others – are seen with hostility by the majority of their brother Bishops and by the Vatican, in a disturbing subversion of the mission of the Church of Christ, which today has been reduced to climate change, inclusive capitalism, and mass vaccination. Bergoglio was recently recognized as “moral guide” by the Council for Inclusive Capitalism led by Lynn Forester de Rothschild, and he appointed Jeffrey David Sachs as a member of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences. Sachs is the president of the Sustainable Development Solutions Network of the United Nations, a supporter of reducing the global population and of the fight against climate change – this has nothing to do with the mission of the Papacy and ought to lead the Prelates of the Church to seriously ask themselves about Bergoglio’s mental and moral suitability for the role he holds.
I exhort the faithful, on the Feast instituted by Pius XI in honor of the social Kingship of Our Lord Jesus Christ, to beseech the Divine Majesty, asking that among the many societies afflicted by the present crisis, the Church of Christ may be the first in which Jesus Christ, who today has been replaced by the idols of globalist ideology, returns to reign.
