Western Rising “Prince of the degradations, bought and sold, These verses, written in your crumbling sty, Proclaim the faith that I have held and hold And publish that in which I mean to die.”Hilaire Belloc

“In the end, My Immaculate Heart will triumph.”***** They themselves once sowed at cost,Our Lady of Fatima

for “Greater Glory of God!”Now they turned upon the Chair, And took what He had planted, And took what He had Christened. But still vow to keep their orders, To keep while going native. Then for what for greater glory? While affirmed to treat The Order.

But they desecrate their office, To organize their fetish, And lie among the branches, Like the snake that strikes the talus, And inside our very orchard.

Be precise, pray tell, to tell it, Just how so it’s something better,

1

While we know that they untaught us, Yet they spin us to assure us? For we’ve seen our splintered families, And our fellow un-wrought Christians, Pitching, falling into daydreams, Drinking madness from the culture, Eating poison from their fathers, Sipping folly with their mothers; Now to die the death too slowly,

In the pews of their own choosing, In a so-called enculturation, Long-lived, deracination.That blasted downright circus Drives much faith and reverence from us, While it mutilates the sacred And creates a wretched revel. As we hold our hands and praise us Since they never taught the difference. All to view the priest’s reflection, The loss of faith, relentless.By what name for Christ in heaven Have you wrought such cursed changes,

To our lives and in our worship, In our churches, in our bedrooms? Just to keep the face of old men? And the schemings of periti? Or the lech’rous dreams of clergy, Who stand burning in their pulpits; In formation taught to watch what In old times would all be censored, Which they bring to bear upon us In their muddled lisping voices. Those meek, ironic Marxists

have lost the whole religion, And recast the Saints and Angels As like harbingers of Oprah, As like harbingers of Gnostics.

As we see the Western Rising Is it in Il Papa’s blessing? Must we shoulder costs without him,

2

‘til the one in white beside him Spreads his blood upon the martyrs Spreads our blood upon the concrete.By the hand of ancient demons, Now disguised as if our brothers, Don’t accept the Christ that saved them, And resolve by ancient schisms, Drive their death into our families,

While we mince and lie for profits, While we break our sacred purpose; Lose our lives for nothing better. Plead to Christ for brighter outlooks; Pray Our Lady stands to shield us.And in all this vast adventure Cries the child who lost his purpose Or the babe who lost her future Stands in limbo for our heartbreak, Shrieks aloud among the fluids, While his mother cannot hear him, While her mother will not bear her, Closed her ears for greener futures, Caged in wisdom with the serpent,

Spreading evil like the deluge, Blackened sins in need of washing.But she does what you’ve accepted, What you’ve taught her, What you’ve told her. Praising Moloch with her future.Now we’ve inculcated evil ‘til the heap cries out to heaven And the sins scream out for justice. For the serpent was more subtle

Than the other beasts and creatures, Claimed, “Your eyes shall each be opened. Like gods this act shall make you,Knowing good and knowing evil.”

And knowing evil. Where to turn in present darkness?

3

Look around for something better, You find nothing looking at you, And find nothing looking at you. But silence, Sound of contracepted families Wondering how the future V anished.Yet with all that stands the monstrance,

That deep and solemn monstrance, Which can part the shroud of heaven When it holds the Sacred Body Of our Lord who stands before us. If only for a moment, And if only for a twinkling, Guards us from resurgent heathens, Shields us from the grand delusion, Hides us from this haggard Eagle. Who is dying while we write this. And is dying while we write this.Who participates in rituals So vindictive as to screen it From the shame it rightly conjures

Through deception and collusion. And the past it now disgraces Murders hope and faith within us, Kills the truth as dead as Judas, Saps the root of civ’lization And despises true religion; Humanizing mice for profit. Contriving marked monies Which eviscerate the savings Of the men and of the women, Making slaves for their leviathan.

At the root of all this dying Stands not the desert warlord Or the petulant monastic, Placing notions onto doorways

While conversing with the devil, Making doctrines so polluted As to lead to dissolution,

4

But that frightful fallen angel, Who contrived from the beginning, With his murder and his lying, To strike out at the heel bone And with enmity deceive us.Each lie more convoluted, Each strike more laced with venom, But She crushed the head that strikes us,

Killed that godforsaken creature, That godforsaken culture Coalescing right before us. As the children of that prophet, That prophet from the desert, And the children of the goddess, That goddess of the demons, Who was born in insurrection, Consummated on the altar, (the altar of Our Lady) Who dreams of revolution, An endless revolution, And indoctrinates our children, Band together with their father In the treaty of Forsaken,

They themselves and with the princes, To nullify the faith.Could we live to see the coming, The coming of our Savior, of The protoevangelium; The destruction of its power. The final consummation? Will the King come to reclaim us? Will He crush the head that strikes us, As foretold from the beginning?

Or will we fall into despair, As we let abomination, Best known with skies of sulfur, Take hold of this great country? And worse, the Bride of Heaven,

What’s here on earth among us, Or at least the part that man has Who is feeding off its mother,

5

Reject the milk that nursed it, And turn to self-delusion As if self creates creation, Drinks instead the well of magic, Of the mystics, and cabalists; Of the masons, and the pagans, Places stock in autogenesis,As they quest to find omega – Suck the worm that dieth not.

Transhuman, Posthuman, Heretics and liars.How to break this weary bondage? As the clergy chase the dragon, Chase his tail into the fire, The burning of Gehenna, That raw unquenching fire, With shrieks and cries and gnashing, Lose the right and name of fathers, But in vain they scuttle forward. A cold and blind obedience They demand as if a birthright. They lead us to our downfall,

Forsake the whole tradition, Leaven words with grains of evil, Leave us in a painful quandary. Blame the movement of the “spirit,” And defenestrate the Church.We hate to break authority, Yet we can’t abide their teachings, Forsake the book and lessons And what’s written in the Prophets, And told by the Apostles,

And deepened by the Fathers, And reflected by the Councils, The words of the Messiah, Adopt His Holy Mother.(Χαῖρε, Kεχαριτωμένη!)

Even if they make us martyrs, By dry or open glory,

6

Alone or if broadcasted At the hands of Mahound’s minions, Who slaughter like great butchers Ever since the seed that sired them, Like their bothers, like their fathers, Poured open from the wasteland, Reaping deserts with the whirlwind, Now parading through our cities, Coming down the generations,

Running, racing with a blood lust: Holy Martyr, Father Hamel, Empty coastlines of Hispania.Will we wallow in the embers? Paint our faces with the cinders. Let our tears etch out the blackness, As we cry out for forgiveness. Can we rent our clothes asunder? Can we fight like the Cristeros? The Crusaders? Regain the grit of Christians And stop groveling and sinning Before dark an’ ancient Egypt. Or will this last night of Europe

Leave its weapons on the wall?At least stand to face the dying, Or try to see it coming. Avenge the fallen soldiers Who lie buried and forgotten, Who died fighting for a country, An idea that lost its moment to The wild abomination Who took office glibly smiling. The thin man, son of Kansas.

The enfleshment of this nexus, Distorting every word and Inverting each intention, Feeding Moloch with his actions, Killing Godfrey with his PSYOPS.

Preaching words that make us weaker, Lying thrice in each encounter, As to gaslight half a country,

7

Or the world. Precursor. Habemus doppelgänger.Has it altogether passed us? Left us all with few decisions. Circled tight by those who hate us, Pushing closer, growing quicker. Circled round by those who love death,

And would rather kill our children, Than see the earth more burdened To ensconce their Sister Nature, And maintain their medications, And persist with predilections, And continue in their error – Teaching others their perversions, Wrecking men and souls for profit, Organizing what they conjure. Suffering the grand delusion. Abomination, desolation. Russia’s errors in the bloodstream, Strewn wide by the monopoly.Where to turn in present darkness?

Look around for something better, Is there nothing looking at you? But silence, And the contracepted families lying vacant and accosted, Courting mystery and darkness. Who, to hunt their relaxation, swap abortion for invasion. The homicide selection In the aisles of despair, Who embrace the thought that stops thought –

smoke of Satan in our lives.But what found Castilian roses On the hill of Tepeyac? Or upon the lupe river

Where the Lady lay at rest. She was hid in times of plunder, When old Europe failed the test,

8

For the time when Reconquista, Stood to fight the crescent quest.Now the Aztec, Quatlasupe Invigorates conversion, Where the daughter of Khadija, Bears in reverence to the Virgin That the children find salvation, Turn the face from carnal teachings,

From the lies and the misgivings, (And the technocratic myth.) Short of arms, but crown of roses and the symbol of our sire, Son of Heaven, Flesh of Mother, With the moon beneath her feet, (Tilma bears the upset crescent) And the stars upon her head.Pray for us, oh shepherd children That we might by grace to glory Find rebirth within the luna, Or consume the spotless Corpus, And approach to make our offering, And endure until the end.

“In time, One faith, and baptism, One Church, that’s Holy, Catholic, Apostolic and eternal.Penance, penance, penance! Heaven.” Dedicated to His Excellency Bishop Athanasius SchneiderFor Jane Irene Moore*****

Dr. Ed Mazza: “Faith Alone: Is it Justifiable?”

February 25, 2021

Faith Alone: Is it Justifiable?

By Ed Mazza, PhD

Grace is given freely, not earned by human effort

Nothing can act beyond its species, since the cause must always be more powerful than its effect. Now the gift of grace surpasses every capability of created nature, since it is nothing short of a partaking of the Divine Nature, which exceeds every other nature. And thus it is impossible that any creature should cause grace. For it is as necessary that God alone should deify, bestowing a partaking of the Divine Nature by a participated likeness, as it is impossible that anything save fire should enkindle.

St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologiae, I-II, 112, 1.

‘But when the kindness and love of our Saviour God shone upon us — not of works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the laver of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Ghost, whom He shed upon us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; that, being justified by His grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life’ (Titus 3:4-7).
From these and similar passages of Scripture, we gather the proof that God’s grace is not given according to our merits. The truth is, we see that it is given not only where there are no good, but even where there are many evil merits preceding: and we see it so given daily. But it is plain that when it has been given, also our good merits begin to be — yet only by means of it; for, were that only to withdraw itself, man falls, not raised up, but precipitated by free will. Wherefore no man ought, even when he begins to possess good merits, to attribute them to himself, but to God, who is thus addressed by the Psalmist: Be Thou my helper, forsake me not. By saying, Forsake me not, he shows that if he were to be forsaken, he is unable of himself to do any good thing.

St. Augustine, On Grace & Free Will, Chap 12, 13
Faith AND works, Grace AND Free Will

Now there was…a decided merit in the Apostle Paul, but it was an evil one, while he persecuted the Church, and he says of it: ‘I am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the Church of God’ (1 Corinthians 15:9). And it was while he had this evil merit that a good one was rendered to him… and, therefore, he went on at once to say, ‘But by the grace of God I am what I am (1 Corinthians 15:10). Then, in order to exhibit also his free will, he added in the next clause, ‘And His grace within me was not in vain, but I have worked more abundantly than they all.’ This free will of man he appeals to in the case of others also, as when he says to them, ‘We beg you that you receive not the grace of God in vain (2 Corinthians 6:1). Now, how could he so enjoin them, if they received God’s grace in such a manner as to lose their own will? Nevertheless, lest the will itself should be deemed capable of doing any good thing without the grace of God, after saying, His grace within me was not in vain, but I have worked more abundantly than they all, he immediately added the qualifying clause, ‘Yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. (1 Corinthians 15:10) In other words, Not I alone, but the grace of God with me.’ And thus, neither was it the grace of God alone, nor was it he himself alone, but it was the grace of God with him… 

St. Augustine, On Grace & Free Will, Chap 12, 13

Someone might find fault with this because our Lord did not say that the apostles would do greater things, but he who believes in me. Should we say, then, that those who do not do greater things than Christ are not to be counted among those who believe in Christ? Of course not! That would be too harsh.

We should say, rather, that Christ works in two ways. In one way, he works without us, as in creating the heavens and the earth, raising the dead to life, and things like that. In the other way, he works in us but not without us: the result of this is faith, by which the impious are brought to life. Our Lord is speaking here of what is found in all believers: this is the result which Christ produces in us, but not without us. The reason for this is that whoever believes is producing the same result since what is produced in me by God is also produced in me by myself, that is, by my free choice. Thus the Apostle says: “it was not I,” that is, I alone, “but the grace of God which is with me” (1 Cor 15:10). Christ is speaking of this result or work when he says that believers will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, for it is a greater thing to justify the impious than to create the heavens and the earth. For the justification of the impious, considered in itself, continues forever: “Righteousness is immortal” (Wis 1:15). But the heavens and the earth will pass away, as Luke (21:33) says. Further, effects which are physical are directed to what is spiritual. Now the heavens and the earth are physical effects, but the justification of the impious is a spiritual effect.
St. Thomas Aquinas, Commentary on John 14, Lecture 3, 1900

Faith Alone?

“See, how rich therefore is a Christian, the one who is baptized! Even if he wants to, he cannot lose his salvation, however much he sin, unless he will not believe. For no sin can condemn him save unbelief alone. All other sins — so long as the faith in God’s promise made in baptism returns or remains —all other sins, I say, are immediately blotted out through that same faith, or rather through the truth of God, because He cannot deny Himself.”

Martin Luther, Babylonian Captivity of the Church, 1520

But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a loud noise, and the elements will be dissolved with fire, and the earth and the works that are upon it will be burned up.

Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of persons ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness, waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be kindled and dissolved, and the elements will melt with fire!  But according to his promise we wait for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells. Therefore, beloved, since you wait for these, be zealous to be found by him without spot or blemish, and at peace. And count the forbearance of our Lord as salvation. So also our beloved brother Paul wrote to you according to the wisdom given him, speaking of this as he does in all his letters. There are some things in them hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other scriptures. You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, beware lest you be carried away with the error of lawless men and lose your own stability.
2 Peter 10-16

Unintelligent persons, however, with regard to the apostle[Paul]’s statement: ‘We conclude that a man is justified by faith without the works of the law,’ (Romans 3:28) have thought him to mean that faith suffices to a man, even if he lead a bad life, and has no good works. Impossible is it that such a character should be deemed a vessel of election by the apostle, who, after declaring that in Christ Jesus neither circumcision avails anything, nor uncircumcision, Galatians 5:6 adds at once, but faith which works by love. It is such faith which severs God’s faithful from unclean demons — for even these believe and tremble, James 2:19 as the Apostle James says; but they do not do well. Therefore they possess not the faith by which the just man lives — the faith which works by love in such wise, that God recompenses it according to its works with eternal life. But inasmuch as we have even our good works from God, from whom likewise comes our faith and our love, therefore the selfsame great teacher of the Gentiles has designated eternal life itself as His gracious gift (Romans 6:23).

St. Augustine, On Grace & Free Will, Chap 18

‘To him that believes in Him that justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness’ (Romans 4:5). This is the work in which we may be doing the works of Christ, for even our very believing in Christ is the work of Christ. It is this He works in us, not certainly without us. Hear now, then, and understand, ‘He that believes in me, the works that I do shall he do also’: I do them first, and he shall do them afterwards; for I do such works that he may do them also. And what are the works, but the making of a righteous man out of an ungodly one?

‘And greater works than these shall he do.’ Than what, I ask? Shall we say that one is doing greater works than all that Christ did who is working out his own salvation with fear and trembling? (Philippians 2:12) A work which Christ is certainly working in him, but not without him; and one which I might, without hesitation, call greater than the heavens and the earth, and all in both within the compass of our vision. ‘For both heaven and earth shall pass away,’ (Matthew 24:35) but the salvation and justification of those predestinated thereto, that is, of those whom He foreknows, shall continue forever. In [heaven and earth] there is only the working of God, but in the latter [justified men] there is also His image. But there are also in the heavens, thrones, governments, principalities, powers, archangels, and angels, which are all of them the work of Christ; and is it, then, greater works also than these that he does, who, with Christ working in him, is a co-worker in his own eternal salvation and justification?… And it is assuredly something less to preach the words of righteousness, which He did apart from us, than to justify the ungodly, which He does in such a way in us that we also are doing it ourselves.
St. Augustine, Tractate on John 72, 2-3 (14:10-14)

(The Catholic Monitor is honored to post this piece by the scholar Dr. Ed Mazza at his request.)

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)

Saint Robert Bellarmine, also, said “the Pope heretic is not deposed ipso facto, but must be declared deposed by the Church.”
[https://archive.org/stream/SilveiraImplicationsOfNewMissaeAndHereticPopes/Silveira%20Implications%20of%20New%20Missae%20and%20Heretic%20Popes_djvu.txt]

– “Could Francis be a Antipope even though the Majority of Cardinals claim he is Pope?”: http://www.thecatholicmonitor.com/2019/03/could-francis-be-antipope-even-though.html

 –  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.

Trump Versus Big Tech

By Jay Valentine

American Thinker

February 24, 2021
Uh oh!Word is leaking out of Mar-a-Lago that President Trump may be delivering a major social media platform on which conservatives can chat away. There’s something hidden in the technology disruption shadows behind that rumor, so let’s explore it a bit.
Twitter. Facebook. The Washington Post. The New York Times.People, there is no fancy technology at any of those sites; there is simply scale.
We are at the end of life for current silicon-based technology. Even the highly regarded Gartner Group in its 2021 technology forecasts said that companies need to understand silicon can no longer scale by adding faster circuits.
Companies need to look for an alternative to the current tech stack — yes, the one used by all those Big Tech companies with scale.
Disruptive new tech stacks are coming to market. Some have been quietly accumulating customers for the last two years. More about that here if you care.
Twitter, Facebook, Amazon, and Google are the pinnacle of scaling the current tech stack. They spent billions of dollars building incredible data centers, honing algorithms, and bringing in armies of millennials to sit in cubicles all day, wearing their favorite tech logo wear and building scale.
Scale cannot survive technology disruption.
New tech stacks reduce the price of computing somewhere between 1/10th to 1/100th of the cost. They reduce the price of entry into any of these markets by factors of a thousand to a million, no exaggeration.
Don’t believe me?
Remember IBM? Sure, you do. Are you aware that they lost $95 billion in valuation in the last decade? Scale does not matter when the ground changes under you. Actually, scale becomes its own burden, keeping you from adapting to the agile, flexible new entrants who eat your lunch.
IBM missed the PC or failed at it; it also missed the phone, the tablet, the cloud, and it is sure to miss the edge, new technology being deployed right now. Just look at that $95 billion haircut. IBM is not done. This will continue unless it finds a way to get out of supporting and selling the obsolete current tech stack.
Let’s not pick on IBM. Add Hewlett Packard, Dell, and scores of other formerly high-flyers that are in life-sustain mode rather than hair fluttering growth.
There is no technology behind Twitter or Facebook. They were simply there first, built the audience, went public, and continued building the audience. They benefitted from the “network effect.” That means every Facebook user adds value to every previous user because each might connect.
As long as nothing changes, they cannot be surpassed. Then again, as long as nothing changes, we will ride horses. If nothing changes, we will live by candlelight. If nothing changes, we will never have a computer.
But stuff changes. Disruption. It is here with new tech stacks.
OK, now back to President Trump.
A Twitter equivalent could be built for a few hundred grand. It could run on hardware that fits on a dining room table and easily support a billion users, run in triplicate so it could survive a nuclear war. It just would not have any users. Adding significant numbers of users takes several years.
Here comes President Trump!
President Trump brings an ingredient to the party no technology company can recreate, even in an artificial intelligence lab. President Trump brings an audience – tens of millions – passionately connecting with their pals and building the kind of scale that weathers any setback. These users show up because it is a cause, not a platform.
While it would take a decade for some technologist to build another Twitter with a new tech stack, President Trump and the MAGA team could do it in months.
There is nothing Twitter can do about it. Nobody is going back to Twitter from the MAGA equivalent. Twitter needs massive revenue to make a buck, mostly from ads. As its audience dwindles, the network effect — remember that? – well, it works both ways. Ad revenue plummets.
The President Trump Twitter equivalent is running on new technology that costs a fraction of what Twitter costs to run. The Trump team does not need to feed that monster, with its obsolete technology and armies of programmers. With new technology underneath, a Trump equivalent could be profitable in months, perhaps out of the box.
Let’s not pick on Twitter. It is the same deal for Facebook or any of these older platforms. Their stuff can be recreated at a fraction of the cost.
With an audience as passionate as Trump’s, well, that changes all the rules. These new platforms can be major players.
What does it mean if President Trump has a communication platform that rivals, even exceeds Facebook, Twitter, and the rest? What does it mean instantly to have a fired-up following of 80 million people with one mind? Well, let’s leave that for another post, but it ain’t good news for Mitch McConnell or Ben Sasse.
There’s something happening here, and it feels like good news.
The Big Tech, Swamp Dweller, RINO crowd have fired every weapon they have. Other than clear election fraud to elect a person in early-stage dementia, they have little to show for it.
It’s our turn.
If President Trump decides to do the world stage equivalent of The Art Of The Comeback, he enters the fray already having neutralized many of the advantages the Left thought they owned around communication.
Disruption is an unstoppable force in technology. Joined with an on-fire, passionate audience with an attitude — well, that’s something we are going to enjoy watching.

President Trump brings an ingredient to the party no technology company can recreate, even in an artificial intelligence lab. President Trump brings an audience – tens of millions – passionately connecting with their pals and building the kind of scale that weathers any setback. These users show up because it is a cause, not a platform.
While it would take a decade for some technologist to build another Twitter with a new tech stack, President Trump and the MAGA team could do it in months.
There is nothing Twitter can do about it. Nobody is going back to Twitter from the MAGA equivalent. Twitter needs massive revenue to make a buck, mostly from ads. As its audience dwindles, the network effect — remember that? – well, it works both ways. Ad revenue plummets.
The President Trump Twitter equivalent is running on new technology that costs a fraction of what Twitter costs to run. The Trump team does not need to feed that monster, with its obsolete technology and armies of programmers. With new technology underneath, a Trump equivalent could be profitable in months, perhaps out of the box.
Let’s not pick on Twitter. It is the same deal for Facebook or any of these older platforms. Their stuff can be recreated at a fraction of the cost.
With an audience as passionate as Trump’s, well, that changes all the rules. These new platforms can be major players.
What does it mean if President Trump has a communication platform that rivals, even exceeds Facebook, Twitter, and the rest? What does it mean instantly to have a fired-up following of 80 million people with one mind? Well, let’s leave that for another post, but it ain’t good news for Mitch McConnell or Ben Sasse.
There’s something happening here, and it feels like good news.
The Big Tech, Swamp Dweller, RINO crowd have fired every weapon they have. Other than clear election fraud to elect a person in early-stage dementia, they have little to show for it.
It’s our turn.
If President Trump decides to do the world stage equivalent of The Art Of The Comeback, he enters the fray already having neutralized many of the advantages the Left thought they owned around communication.
Disruption is an unstoppable force in technology. Joined with an on-fire, passionate audience with an attitude — well, that’s something we are going to enjoy watching.

28-Year-old Wisconsin Healthcare Worker has Aneurysm – Brain Dead Five Days After Second Experimental Pfizer mRNA COVID Injection 

28-Year-Old Sara Stickles – DEAD (Image source Facebook)

Editor, Health Impact News

The COVID Blog is reporting that 28-year-old Sara Stickles from Beloit, Wisconsin, a healthcare worker at SwedishAmerican Hospital, has suffered a brain aneurysm and is now brain dead just 5 days after receiving the second experimental mRNA COVID injection from Pfizer.

Sadly, this is another instance reported where a young healthcare worker in the prime of their life and with no previous existing health conditions has died after being injected with one of the experimental mRNA COVID injections.

She was an organ donor, so her body is being kept alive until they find suitable recipients for her organs.

She leaves behind a young son, siblings, friends and family members who have expressed shock on Facebook at her sudden death.

Her sister Jamie Lynn Cruz announced on Facebook, February 11, 2021, that the family was saying their goodbyes because there was no hope for her recovery:

It’s true, The Good Die Young. Because my sister was SO incredibly good!

Today My mom, siblings and I were asked to come to the hospital to say our goodbyes to Sara.

Sara had a hemmorage stroke in her brain stem on Sunday Feb 7th, at the young age of 28.

She has been on life support ever since. After all of the tests run, and the MRI results, the Doctors determined that there is no possibility of recovery and eventually her body will shut down.

Because Sara is an organ donor they will continue to keep her body alive until it is time to harvest them. Sara will go on to save countless lives. She continues to give her gifts even after she has gone home to heaven.

My sister is truly an amazing angel. (Source.)

In an earlier Facebook post from February 8th, her sister mentioned that Sara had been sick and “breaking out” from the COVID “vaccine”:

Update: Dr. Called, There going to preform Cerebral angiography tomorrow thru her groin all the way up to her brain to take pictures.

There are not quite sure if it is an aneurysm or avm or a tumor or something else, so they have to do more research of her brain. She is stabilized.

She will react to a pinch, but thats it, eyes are still not open. Subarachnoid hemmorage is what happened. (Bleeding in the space between the brain and the tissue covering the brain, is usually from a bulging blood vessel that bursts in the brain)

The Dr. Is hopeful, he said she’s young, and healthy. I did inform him of her covid vaccine, and that she was sick and breaking out from it. (Source.)

Today, February 14, 2021, Sara’s twin sister, Kara Stickles, shared this post on her Facebook page from someone who reported that mentioning Sara had the Pfizer COVID mRNA injection was being censored and deleted in social media:

This beautiful, healthy 28-year-old mother received an experimental, non-FDA-approved “medical procedure,” and now her family is raising money for her funeral (gofundme link in IG bio and here: https://bit.ly/2NlzdAy)

My deepest sympathies to the family.

Please see @circleofmamas on IG for the entire post. (Edit: “Circle of Mamas” outstanding IG account was deleted; please follow @circleofmamas_ .)

(Social media accounts are getting deleted if they talk about adverse events of certain experimental products. Search for her sister Jamie Lynn Cruz ‘s post, or my Telegram channel has info https://t.me/glassforsenate .)

Question: Are government officials protecting Americans from a (treatable) virus with a nearly 100% survival rate, or is there another reason the powers that be are pushing this “emergency use authorization” product? (Source.)

From the data that the CDC has released so far in the VAERS database, there have been 176 cases in Wisconsin of adverse events, including 26 hospitalizations, 5 permanent disabilities, 58 emergency room visits, and 11 deaths, although none below the age of 44.

So if Sara Stickles’ case has been reported to the CDC VAERS reporting system, the CDC has apparently not released it yet.

As we reported yesterday, the CDC has stated on their website that there have been 1,170 deaths recorded in the U.S. following the experimental mRNA COVID injections, and according to the CDC and the FDA, NONE of them are related to the “COVID vaccines.”

I would propose another argument for the absolute immorality of using vaccines tainted in any way with cells from aborted babies. First of all, the justification of the use of any remains of an aborted baby, no matter how little or how distant it may be, is preempted by the fact that the ultimate motive for using such is nothing less than a means of promoting abortion. And such a motive does not distance itself from the abortion nor from any juncture in the preparation of a vaccine.

Secondly, as B. Calamy, D. D. says:
(https://biblehub.com/sermons/auth/calamy/we_must_not_do_evil_that_good_may_come.htm)

“I This will appear from THE NATURE OF MORAL GOOD AND EVIL.

“1. To denominate an action morally good there must be a concurrence of all conditions requisite thereunto. If the object be lawful, the manner of the performance regular, and it be fitly circumstantiated, yet if it be done for a wicked end, this mars the action and renders it sinful; and for the same reason let the intention be never so good, the end never so excellent, yet, if the thing we do is forbidden by God’s laws, it is a vicious action.

“2. Nay, further, such is the contrariety between the good and evil, that what is really evil cannot be chosen as a fit means to produce good, any more than darkness can beget light, or false premises infer a true conclusion, or an evil tree bring forth good fruit. To do evil to obtain good is as if a man should put his hand into the flame to cool it.”

“IV. THE ILL CONSEQUENCES OF SUCH A CONCESSION AS THIS, that evil may be done for a good end. This one principle sets us free from all authority either Divine or human, and everyone may do whatever he thinks fit, so his intention and end be but good.

“1. What we are to do, or to avoid, if this doctrine be admitted for true, we are not to learn from God’s law. Things are either good or evil according as they seem to us, and our own judgment is the measure of lawful and unlawful, and thus we are wholly our own masters and lawgivers.

“2. Nay, this principle plainly overthrows all justice and faith amongst men, all peace and security in societies, and makes all government precarious, since everyone is an arbitrary subject, and may obey or resist the laws as they appear to himself to be for or against the common good; and every man’s life and fortune is at my disposal, if once I think it most for the glory of God and the safety of religion that they should be taken away. You know our Saviour tells His disciples of some that should arise, who would think they did God good service in killing them. According to this doctrine St. Paul was innocent when he was so mad against the Church.”

It is true that God does bring good out of evil, BUT HE NEVER DOES EVIL IN ORDER TO BRING GOOD FROM IT.

Defeating COVID Test Fraud: Memo to Lawyers and Clients

Feb25by Jon Rappoport

by Jon Rappoport

February 25, 2021

(To join our email list, click here.)

As I’ve detailed in my current series of articles on the COVID PCR test fraud, the test is run in cycles.

Each cycle is a quantum leap of magnification of the swab sample taken from the patient.

When the test is run at 35 cycles or higher, the result is meaningless. Millions of those results are false-positives. The patient is falsely told he is “infected.”

However, most labs FRAUDULENTLY run the test at 40 cycles, or even higher. And the labs do not disclose, to patients or doctors, how many cycles they are deploying.

So…here is a legal strategy lawyers should consider.

If a client is told to get tested, his lawyer states the following: “My client needs a sworn affidavit from the lab declaring how many cycles will be used.” 

If the lab refuses to comply, sue them.

If the lab complies, and the cycles are higher than 35, sue them.

We also know that test results from various labs are not uniform. One lab will say the patient tests positive; another lab will say negative. This fact has been an open secret in the testing community for decades.

Strategy: A lawyer has his client tested at several centers, in one day, in different locations, in different states—knowing that a different lab will process each test.

If the tests come back with different results, sue the labs.

What would happen if, say, 50 lawyers and their clients pursued these two strategies and sued? What would happen if a significant amount of publicity surrounded each lawyer and his client?

A breakthrough would occur. A huge number of people across the world would become aware that COVID PCR testing is rife with fraud.

Even if judges and courts refused to hear the cases, the publicity alone would provoke a major transformation in public insight.

There is a recent precedent for demanding to know the number of cycles the PCR labs are deploying. It comes from the governor of Florida’s office and his public health department. On December 3, 2020, both offices issued a regulation requiring state labs to report the number of cycles for every test they run.

“Cycle threshold (CT) values [number of cycles] and their reference ranges, as applicable, must be reported by laboratories to FDOH [Florida Department of Health] via electronic laboratory reporting or by fax immediately.” 

“If your laboratory is not currently reporting CT values and their reference ranges, the lab should begin reporting this information to FDOH within seven days of the date of this memorandum.”

We can assume there is only one reason for this order. Florida Governor, Ron DeSantis, and the State Department of Health are aware that tests run at 35 cycles or higher are useless and misleading, and they want to stop this crime.

Public interest law firms, lone attorneys—do something vital now. Expose and defeat the COVID PCR test. By defeating it, you reveal that millions of so-called “COVID cases” are a massive fraud and a lie.

And you also defeat the lockdowns, which are based on the number of cases.

Our Supreme Court Goes Full Nicaragua in PA Election CaseBy C. Edmund Wright

American Thinker

February 23, 2021

For a couple of years, my wife and I escaped Obama’s America by owning a Pacific Ocean hotel in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua. The irony was that in supposedly socialist Nicaragua, Daniel Ortega’s government left us alone far more than government did in the supposedly free country of the United States of Obama. 
Still, while Ortega 2.0 might have shed most of his socialism, he had not shed his lust for power, and the job of making sure he never lost again was that of the Chief Justice Roberto Rivas Reyes of what is in effect the Nicaraguan Supreme Court. I’m not sure who was actually more powerful or corrupt — President Ortega or Justice Rivas — but Rivas’s was bigger. His motorcade, that is, and he owned the two biggest homes on the two most elevated lots in San Juan del Sur, the nation’s top coastal town, a few hundred yards from our hotel.
Today I’m not sure whose court is more corrupt vis-a-vis election law: Nicaragua’s court or our Supreme Court. It appears that Donald Trump has remade the U.S. Supreme Court — in Mitt Romney’s image! (I am not blaming Trump, just stating the obvious.)
While I think the United States Supreme Court stumbled badly in its 7-2 rejection of the Texas case on standing last year, the refusal to “grant cert” (i.e., to take the case) yesterday in a Pennsylvania case is horrifying beyond words. I could say that our election laws are now full-on banana republic, but I’d hate to insult bananas that badly.
What the Supreme Court codified yesterday, and what it started with the Texas rejection, is that election laws and procedures cannot be challenged beyond a state court, at any time, regardless of how badly those states shred the United States Constitution, and regardless of the major consequences to the other 49 states as a result. They don’t ever say that per se, but the results of what those two rulings have done are just that. Period.
Those trying to challenge Pennsylvania’s obviously corrupt and rigged election system have been told that they cannot challenge the laws ahead of the election, because there is not yet a victim. They’ve been told that fellow Americans impacted by Pennsylvania’s corrupt system cannot challenge, because of standing. Now they’ve been told that they cannot challenge after the election, because it’s after the election – and therefore moot.
Ortega on line one, asking the Democrats just how do they get away with this?
This kind of infantile and absurd logic just defies belief and takes one’s breath away. And not just mine. I think it’s clear that Justice Clarence Thomas is even more mystified than am I, and he was livid. He was also, as he always is, right on the money in his analysis.
“One wonders what this Court waits for,” understates Thomas in his dissent, adding “we failed to settle this dispute before the election, and thus provide clear rules. Now we again fail to provide clear rules for future elections. The decision to leave election law hidden beneath a shroud of doubt is baffling. By doing nothing, we invite further confusion and erosion of voter confidence. Our fellow citizens deserve better and expect more of us.”
In other words, we are punting the ball again. But let’s make no mistake — this is “not doing nothing” with all respect to Justice Thomas. This is proactive, and it absolutely legalizes institutional voter fraud and neuters state legislatures in lieu of state courts. Lawyers gonna lawyer, I reckon.
The only other quibble I have regarding Justice Thomas’s statement is that actually no, we don’t expect more of our courts anymore. This is exactly what we have come to expect. We saw Brett Kavanaugh emasculated in his hearing process, and clearly, he hasn’t had enough testosterone replacement shots yet, and Amy Coney Barrett, the mom, seems worried about her kiddies at school. Cancel Culture 1, Constitution 0. Voters be damned.
For the record, the broad strokes of the Pennsylvania case revolve around the fact that the Pennsylvania Supreme Court changed election laws at the last minute to expand unchecked mail-in voting. The Constitution, that once relevant but now apparently irrelevant document, makes it clear that the state legislatures are in charge of state elections. In Pennsylvania, as in many states, the legislature is controlled by Republicans – while Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court is controlled by radical leftists. One lesson the late, great Rush Limbaugh helped teach us is that the left always uses the courts to get stuff done that they could never accomplish through the ballot box.
Never has that been truer than in the 2020 Election, in Pennsylvania and other places as well. As Thomas adds:
“The Constitution gives to each state legislature authority to determine the ‘Manner’ of federal elections…Yet both before and after the 2020 election, non-legislative officials in various States took it upon themselves to set the rules instead…. [T]he Pennsylvania Legislature established an unambiguous deadline for receiving mail-in ballots… the Pennsylvania Supreme Court extended that deadline… (and) ordered officials to count ballots received by the new deadline even if there was no evidence—such as a postmark—that the ballots were mailed by election day. … these cases provide us with an ideal opportunity to address (this) before the next election cycle. The refusal to do so is inexplicable.”
Tragically, it’s not inexplicable. It’s very explicable. It’s that the explanations are chilling and uncomfortable. Our Supreme Court is now part of the Washington Swamp, and the Washington Swamp is now totally divorced from any understanding of or caring about the rest of the nation. Roberts surrendered to the Swamp shortly after being seated. Kavanaugh and Coney-Barrett have done so even quicker.
Our Supreme Court is now no more an agent of a free people than similar courts are in places like Venezuela and Nicaragua. Our nation is becoming ungovernable because there is no reason for a thinking person to have any respect for our institutions like the FBI, The Justice Department, or our courts on any level. We are facing dark days indeed.
