American Inquisition

Guest Post by Jim Kunstler

The thinking classes in America want to emulate the theocratic lunacy of the Sixteenth Century. They have become everything they used to despise as cruel, unjust, and crazy.

Monty Python's Flying Circus" The Spanish Inquisition (TV Episode 1970) -  IMDb

The world turns and things change. Everybody knows that. But the turnings and changings throw off sparks, which light fires. The intellectual turnings of the European Renaissance lit fires in the lumbering bureaucracy of Roman Catholicism, burdened as it was with abstruse theology larded with lingering, age-old superstition. Witch hunts, inquisitions, and persecutions ensued, even as the authority of the old order wobbled and frayed. The gross cruelties of the people in charge didn’t bolster their prestige, and a few centuries later you see the result: belief is dead.

Likewise in Western Civ today. Our authorities have disgraced themselves behind a new theology of degenerate “science” that veers back into superstition and necromancy. Proof that they don’t believe their own story shows in their desperate efforts to hide the data, confabulate numbers, ignore true facts, and lash out viciously at anyone who discloses their zealous deceits.

Case in point: the persecution of Meryl Nass, MD, in the state of Maine by its Board of Licensure in Medicine. Dr. Nass is an internal medicine physician and a recognized expert in bioterrorism who famously uncovered the origin of the mysterious “Gulf War Syndrome” as a reaction to the US Army’s own anthrax vaccine. She has testified before Congress and in many state legislatures about vaccine safety. After the emergence of Covid-19, Dr. Nass spoke out and blogged about the dangers of the new vaccines, and in favor of early treatment protocols using ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine. Her outspokeness attracted the ire of Maine Governor Janet Mills, and Mills’s sister, Dora Ann Mills, the “Chief Improvement Officer” at Maine Health, a huge network of twelve hospitals, 1,700 doctors, and 22,000 employees, deeply invested in the Covid vaccine program.

In January of this year, Dr. Nass’s license was suspended by the Licensure Board based on complaints by two “activists” that she was “spreading misinformation” and for her use of early treatment protocols with her own patients. The board compelled Dr. Nass to undergo a neuropsychological evaluation to determine if she was a drug abuser or suffered from mental illness. (Flag that, since it implies official defamation of her character.) The board accused her of “fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation” in her practice, “conduct that evidences a lack of ability or fitness,” and being “an immediate jeopardy” to public health.

For most of this year, the board refused to entertain any defense by Dr. Nass for her suspension until a hearing held last week, October 11, when she appeared before the Licensure Board with her attorney, Gene Libby. The hearing in its entirety can be watched on video at Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s Children’s Health Defense website. (The first two-thirds the board prosecutes its case; the last hour Dr. Nass presents her defense.) Days before the hearing, the Licensure Board withdrew all the “misinformation” charges against Dr. Nass without explanation and now bases its case on Dr. Nass’s use of early treatment protocols.

The hearing was highly instructive on the tactics and strategies for defeating official persecutions against doctors in America (and broadly across all of Western Civ these days), since the Maine licensure Board acted with obvious ignorance and malice that is easily revealed. Dr. Nass’s attorney Gene Libby deftly got the Board on-record attesting to their own deliberate misconduct. For instance, he repeatedly invoked their charges against “spreading misinformation,” forcing the chair, an eye doctor named Maroulla S. Gleaton, to affirm that the charges had been precipitously dropped days before. There was also some lively discussion of the board’s imputations against Dr. Nass’s mental health and insinuations of drug abuse — Dr. Nass testified that she’d never been treated for mental health issues, had never taken pharmaceuticals for them, never took illicit drugs or been accused of it, and, where alcohol was concerned, enjoyed “about five drinks a year.”

Watch the video. I think you can see that the Licensure Board members begin to realize in the proceeding that Dr. Nass is fixing to sue the living shit out of them, and that just about everything they’ve said implicates them in a malice-driven campaign to defame her. In fact, it may be appropriate as events move forward for a court to recommend suspending the medical license of board chair Maroulla S. Gleaton, and the several other board members who are doctors (some are not) for official misconduct, as well as paying damages to Dr. Nass.

The archbishops, confessors, and torturors in the Inquisitions of yore had, in retrospect, at least one excuse for their misdeeds (what we might call today “crimes against humanity”): empirical science was then in its infancy and their ideas about how the world worked were still largely driven by myth, fear, and occultism. Until fairly recently, when Western Civ went off-the-rails, the thinking classes of America would have easily labeled the activities of the old Inquisition as a form of group insanity.

Alas, the thinking classes across Western Civ have now gone insane. Today, they are the ones perpetrating real crimes against humanity. They have given themselves permission — as elites will — to behave cruelly, unjustly, and idiotically against the public interest and against the inherent rights of individuals to fair treatment. They’ve subjected millions to injury and death. They’ve maintained the fraudulent “Emergency Use Authorization”(EUA) for hugely profitable, ineffective, and dangerous drugs by prohibiting treatments with proven effective drugs — the use of which would nullify the EUA and the legal protections it affords the drug-makers. They’ve concealed the statistics that would show all that. And they appear to be acting with arrant malice driven by political actors offstage.

Dr. Nass is demonstrating how they can be effectively opposed. There should be thousands of heroic figures like her among the doctors of Western Civ. Ask them why they are not standing up in places like California, with its new, idiotically-written law against doctors speaking freely with their patients for the sake of informed consent (“spreading misinformation”). These reprobate lawmakers — and the depraved Governor Gavin Newsom who signed the act — need a lesson in what it means to be civilized. The people running the CDC, the NIH, and the FDA deserve severe floggings in the civil and criminal courts. They all know it now, too, and they’re running scared.

The typical JHK happy ending. I’m at a crossroads. At 73 I’m supposed to get a medical checkup yearly. But I’ve lost confidence in what’s left of the medical profession. At this point, I won’t let any doctor stick a needle in my arm for any reason. I’m running low on the hypertension pills I’ve taken for 40 years and have to decide what to do when the prescription expires. I’m pretty sure I’ll just go it alone. Please let me know if you know a good nonpharmaceutical treatment for high blood pressure.

According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, Quercetin combined with Vitamin C or Bromelain has a natural effect of lowering blood pressure. I just read that recently and plan on trying it myself. I have the same attitude about avoiding the medical profession in its current state. Plus I will soon top your age by a year.

My parents and grandparents were healthy and I would say it is/was because they never ate any processed anything. All their food was from completely natural sources. From their beef, chicken, lamb, fish, potatoes and all seasonal vegetables in those days. I think that may be what gave me a healthy start, that so far has not been diminished by my consumption of crap.

Make what you will of this article, but the black folks years ago would always talk about vinegar for high blood as they called it.

https://www.verywellhealth.com/apple-cider-vinegar-high-blood-pressure-5204432

Bragg Apple Vinegar is an organic brand, can get it about anywhere.
My kin ran country stores from like the twenties to the sixties and we lived in a highly black population. In fact here is a video when everyone would break out the banjos and other musical instruments on a Saturday afternoon after fixing the pickup:

Apple vinegar is also excellent to stop muscle cramps. It works almost immediately. After a days work of heavy lifting and pushing around wood to have firewood before the winter, I’d get severe cramps about the time I’d been in bed for 30 minutes or so. The pain was so excruciating that I could barely stand and my hands would be balled tightly. I’d have my wife to pour me a drip, less than a finger of the vinegar. The cramps would subside within three minutes.
What I didn’t know was that it was stripping the enamel off of my teeth. It would have been cheaper to have purchased wood, oil, or some other product. for heating as I have spent a lot of money to the dentist. Dentists may well be worse shysters than MDs.
Now, I get nervous just hearing about bee gums.

Around here my kin tar and feathered black people. Mom was born here in ‘32 so I’ve no reason to believe her recollections are not true. One account was a young black boy that “looked” at a woman whose husband was “influential” in town/county politics and an “outstanding” business leader during the time. Supposedly the townsmen took the boy to the RR tracks that still run through the town to this day, pointed him north and told him never come back. My grandfather I loved a bunch and it was always fun to visit during the summer , fishing the pond etc. He was a member of the Masonic Lodge in the town and I’m thinking likely a member of the KKK. Mom never mentioned that. Talking to what is now “old timers” here that knew my family , they say my grandfather was probably KKK as well. Have to remember, “the South” and all. KKK was just a lifestyle.

Once a person “get’s something” I’m not certain any drug from any source “cures” the ailment. Just part of being flesh.

I used to believe pot was harmless. But the AHA came out with a warning a couple years ago about heart issues and pot. I’m pretty convinced it may have contributed to my AFIB episode a while back even though I was a light user of pot. Just be careful with any drug.

Likely any type of smoking can be detrimental to the heart. Every “body” is different so I have no explanation the interviews with women that are over 100 years old that smoked cigarettes since they were kids almost and still smoke.

Wonder if the AHA did tests on people that take the edibles or just the reefer smokers?

Incidentally, different subject, I cannot believe sitting in stand still traffic behind a diesel truck with the fumes leaking inside our “airtight” vehicles is not apt to be detrimental to one’s heart. In a traffic “jam” one time on I30 in Dallas for 30 minutes the fumes from a man’s dually in front of me were so bad I got out and walked up to his truck hoping he would not just shoot me (being in Texas) and asked if he minded killing the truck until the traffic jam situation cleared. He was ok with it. Nothing against diesels , only learned it’s kind of fucked up sitting behind one in stand still traffic. If it should happen again I’ll do the same, politely explain the fumes are suffocating.

CC,

This book worked for me! I cherry picked it.

Mrs. Dash instead of salt.

Get into serious deep breathing before you take your BP.

Take it three or four times at the same time of day…with deep breathing in-between.

This bullshit you now have to be at 120 on the top number no matter your age or your normal BP history is bullshit just to get everyone on their pills. My top number floats from 130 to 145 my whole life…now at 73 they want me to get it down to 120 through their pills with all kinds of side effects…BULLSHIT.

My bottom number is always perfect.

When I met my last doctor I didn’t know whether to shake his hand or burb him??? And because my top number was roaming between 134 & 145 (it’s always lower at home) and not in the 120’s he insisted I start taking a drug…said hell no. I’m thrilled with that lifelong range.

I told him, shoot when I was in was in my 20’s my top number wasn’t in the 120’s.

Odorless garlic with Hawthorn Berries (in a pill form – daily) has a noticeable reduction as well on me.

Lose any weight if needed. I just fast it away.

If you have high blood pressure, you’re not alone: nearly a third of adult Americans have been diagnosed with hypertension, and another quarter are well on their way. Yet a whopping 56 percent of diagnosed patients do not have it under control. The good news? Hypertension is easily treatable (and preventable), and you can take action today to bring your blood pressure down in just four weeks—without the potential dangers and side effects of prescription medications.

In Blood Pressure Down, Janet Bond Brill distills what she’s learned over decades of helping her patients lower their blood pressure into a ten-step lifestyle plan that’s manageable for anyone. You’ll:

• harness the power of blood pressure power foods like bananas, spinach, and yogurt
• start a simple regimen of exercise and stress reduction
• stay on track with checklists, meal plans, and more than fifty simple recipes

Very interesting, Mark. Excellent observations. I think we all learned a valuable lesson about how medicine is used and abused in this country since covid. We recently had a foreign visitor and I asked her what her perceptions were of America. Her number 1 thought is how much Big Pharma advertises and urges us to take ‘medicine’ in lieu of natural cures. Remember ‘restless leg syndrome’? Go for a walk for Christ’s sake.

My wife takes blackstrap molasses for her restless legs, and it helps her sleep.

I put a teaspoon of blackstrap molasses in Kefir as a night cap as well 1/2 hour before sleep….take it with some L-Tryptophan and L-Theanine…zzzzzzzzzz

I printed this list down for her awhile back.

‘DRUG FREE treatments for the restless leg syndrome’:

Drink a lot of water every day, at least 8 glasses per day. Even you had better drink a quarter cup of water before going to bed
Eat food which contains a lot of iron; for example, kidney beans, liver, lean beef, dark green vegetables and wheat germ
Have a good and balanced diet
Consume more food including folic acid such as beans, orange juice and leafy green vegetables
Avoid sinus and cold medications
Stretch and walk
Turn off the computer, laptop, television at least 30 minutes before going to bed
Maintain your weight
Wear sandals, shoes or boots which are soft and comfortable in many places such as the house, school, office and so on.
Try taking some painkillers
Try a pillow between your legs
TRY ME IN-BETWEEN YOUR LEGS!!!
Apply relaxing leg massage
Use muscle rubs
HAVE SEX!!!!!!!!!!
Keep mentally busy by reading, writing and crossword puzzles
Wear socks when you go to bed in order to keep your feet warm and protected
Avoid having heavy meals close to bedtime
Stay away from napping during the day
SCREW YOUR HUSBAND’S BRAINS OUT OF HIS HEAD!

But I think our most enduring aphrodisiac is we still make one another laugh. She is from West Texas and I was raised in Jersey…so there is the Civil War 2 thing (the South is winning this one) but she also does a killer Church Lady, Elvis, Pee Wee Herman, many others…and last but not least…ME!

Yea…everyone who knew me well was super surprised/shocked when they heard I had gotten married before I was 30…my long announced goal (She cut 4 years off my ROMP).

I was a Dion & the Belmont’s ‘Wander’ kinda guy…until…I met my blue eyed petite and curvy Waterloo. (Lips, hips, breasts, legs…what is a red bloodied man to do???)

I was a boy/young man/man who appreciated and devoured feminine diversity…until I met my wife.

After the romance started…and grew…we moved in together…we didn’t meet anyone in either family until our 18th month together…living far away from both families…living out our play. I was the leading Man…She was the leading Woman…all the extras were not in this first scene.

We weren’t dissing them it was just an 18 month honeymoon.

We put out roots deep down together…before we met either’s forest. (Something to be said for that…much less complicated).

Hindsight being 20-20 that was not intentional but was unusual and knitted us together.

A wonderful part of the story was how warm her West Texas & my Jersey Parents got along so wonderfully with one another the two times they were with us (and our daughter) with just the 7 of us. These were people who never got on planes…but did for us in both states.

When both sets of parents are so happy you are happy…in spite of the massive cultural gaps…and they obliviously get along and like one another…family life is sweet on all sides.

Giving both sets of parents their first granddaughter on regular visits…who spent a lot of time her first 18 years with both sets…often by herself once she was old enough – and she wanted to – was icing on the family cake.

All but one grandparent has gone home, and I take tender care of him.

Ahhh … the annual medicare ‘drive-by physical’ … and what a joke it is.

I’ve got blood pressure and sugar issues — my acupuncturist (you might try to see one — or even a naturopath) tells me to drink fenugreek tea (3 rounded TBSP of the leaves into 16 oz. boiling water, steep for 5 minutes — drink 1/2 in the a.m. and the other half in the p.m.).

I get it at AMZN …

I also drink hibiscus tea for my blood pressure … about 3 days per week … and I get that at AMZN, too … 

TX Patriot’s ideas also seem good … 

I keep confronting my MDs and the rest of their staff about just how and why did they ever manage to so instantaneously forget everything they were taught in medical or nursing schools … mostly just crickets, although some give the standard excuses that it’s either to keep their jobs or to follow orders. I remind them of the Nuremberg trials where following orders is no excuse for harming people … and, again, more crickets.

I’m 75 — not sure how many more years I’ll be around … but, like you, I plan to do as I’ve always done and avoid the medical machine as much as possible.

Happy Trails … and best of health to you …

Nitric oxide (beets). L-arginine. Breathing properly (exercises, retraining … incl during sleep) books: Breath, James Nestor & The Breathing Cure, Patrick McKeown (these guys have vids on youtube).

Fwiw, this guy, who if you’ve seen pics, has got to be considered questionable (plus I have it on good authority to never trust a women named Lola), has a supplements line ~ Ancestral Supplements ~ & this gushing review landed my inbox this morning :

Lola shared an inspiring story with us recently, check it out:

“I used to be on the maximum amount of prescription blood pressure medicine and I still had extremely high blood pressure.”

At this point, many people would simply call it quits and stop searching for answers…
But not Lola. She kept fighting and looking for a solution…

“So I quit all the medications from the doctor including thyroid medication and I ordered the Grass Fed Beef Thyroid and it is working so well for me that I ordered Grass Fed Beef Trachea too which also worked wonders and relieve my pinch nerve.”*

At this point, Lola was finding our products to work very well for her biggest health concerns. But, again, she didn’t stop there…

Next, I asked the Ancestral Supplements Tribe about my high blood pressure and was recommended Grass Fed Beef Heart and now I have great blood pressure. I highly recommend this company. EXCELLENT PRODUCTS AND CUSTOMER SERVICE!!

Here are the products that Lola used:

Not sure how big of a guy you are but an extended water fast tends to cure high blood pressure and Type II diabetes. The first three days are the worst usually. As Americans most of us have ample reserves. (ie: Fat). Try fasting for 7 days. If you succeed, refeed and eat for a week or two. Then try 14 days or however long you think you’ll need.

Then when you start eating again clean out all the junk and processed foods from your diet. Some people do well on keto/ low carb diets. Others like plant based. I won’t argue one over the other since I believe everyone’s body can tolerate foods better or worse based mostly on genetics. Still, cleaning out all the processed food garbage will help your body.

Resource to search regarding fasting:
Dr. Jason Fung (The Obesity Code)
Dr. Valter Longo (Fasting Mimicking Diet)
Dr. Alan Goldhammer (Operates a fasting clinic)
Lauren Lockman (Operates fasting retreat/spa)

I agree to a certain extent. I suppose we all have different ideas on how long is “live long”. Only recently did a man I know die at age 80 that had reached 360 pounds. He could barely walk and of course had an “electric” cart thing I would see him riding at Wal Mart’s. Jovial fellow, just looked like a wooden whiskey barrel. At the man’s “viewing” was a picture of him at age 40. Guessing, I’d say he weighed no more than 160 at that age. Me thinks, like a lot of folks I see around here, at Wal Mart’s etc. too much of a good thing like fried catfish, fries and hushpuppies. That and laziness IMO.

A friend smokes a lot of weed now. He had pre-hypertension a couple of years ago and someone told him pot lowers blood pressure so he started smoking every day.

No idea if this is what caused it, but now has slightly lower than normal blood pressure.

I measured my blood pressure for a couple years. I never took any meds for it. But of course doctors said I should. I would measure high one day, and good the next. I wondered why as I feel absolutely great everyday. I came to the conclusion that blood pressure, in my instance, means nothing. I have taken many of the things other mention: garlic, beets, Quercetin,fermented fish oil, etc.. I also exercise, walk over 5 miles a day, and when I go in the mountains, I sometimes walk over 20 miles in a day. But, great question and thanks to all for the tips.

For High blood pressure-donate blood regularly.
Donating blood forces your body to make a lot of new blood cells. The new blood cells are more flexible than the older blood cells they replace. These new more flexible blood cells can pass more easily through the very fine capillaries at the ends of your circulatory system. Thus the heart needs to pump less hard and your blood pressure will be less.
I started donating blood regularly and my blood pressure came down significantly.

I buy it by the five gal bucket and store in a cool place.

My doctor “cares” while making “good” money as most of US desire. He’s super tight with renewing existing prescriptions, at least mine, Meloxicam , Indomethacin for gout flare ups in my right big toe, like clockwork about every three years it flares. I can tell what’s fixing to happen so I pop an Indomethacin ahead of time. It’s better than going to an emergency room for a steroid shot, been there , instant relief! Then there is a muscle relaxer , Tizanidine. Last I asked my doc to renew the three prescriptions, he, looking at the prescription bottles I brought asked why I needed more. The prescription has expired , doc. Oh, ok. I did not tell him I’m a prepper of sorts and I have no problem in having extras for what pain I may have experienced in the past. Plus, when SHTF…

It’s funny about the prescription stuff because I don’t take it daily. After a visit with a orthopedic , with good “references” from local peeps, I told him I was concerned about the Meloxicam for osteoarthritis , what is in the knees, that discussing with my doc , doc said it was ok to take as needed. And I did not want to eat my liver/kidneys/stomach up prematurely because I do consume beer. The orthopedic had just come back from a German beer festival in San Antonio so he said, take the Meloxicam every day and drink some beer if you want. Alternatives, try the Meloxicam more frequently, visit the orthopedic for a steroid shot whatever they give for an injection should the situation progress or knee replacement. I did not ask the orthopedic about weed but he did mention one might try various herbal things. I’ve found the medical community in these parts to be fairly honest , IMO.

I’m sure it was a comment of yours Flash that introduced me to that book, I can’t recommend it enough now. I couldn’t help but be peeved at the characterizations either after being deeply enlightened by Mr. Walsh’s and subsequent books.

Much like The Crusades, this period of history has to be the most propagandized period of time outside of World War 2. The Inquisitors were largely brave, Christ fearing Catholics who thought and often were, providing grace in a much more austere time period. Their version of justice was much closer to our own than the prevailing attitudes of the time. It was the Inquisition that reinstituted the Mosaic practice of requiring Two eye witnesses to a crime. They essentially created modern evidentiary standards and determined the criteria for credible eye witness testimony. At a time when law & order usually meant being strung up by a local village, with little in the way of a trial.

But hey Jim keep smearing my brethren some more, Kunt-sler is really living up to that name sake.

People think I’m Catholic because I talk about the money lender op that masqueraded as Church Reformation (Protestantism) being a disunifying force in not only Christianity, but civilized society as well.
I’m not. I was born and raised as a fundamentalist Protestant and taught from a very young age that Catholics aren’t even Christian and in fact, Catholicism is the religion of the anti-Christ( i.e.Satan) and all Catholics go to hell, regardless.

Where I was raised, there were no Catholics churches locally and I’ve only ever been in a Catholic Church once, but through the years, the more real history I read, by authors like William Thomas Walsh, the more I discovered, if not for Catholics preserving the faith though, blood , treasure and self- sacrifice, and brave clergy like English Archbishop Stephen Langton establishing the inalienable Rights of Men though documents like the Magna Carta, which led directly to the Declaration of Independence, there would be no Western Civilization, much less a nation of states known collectively as America.

Over a period of 1500 years Catholics built and preserved a civilization for and by Christians, which a fractured, and incessantly at odds, Protestant faith has damn near destroyed.

Faith notwithstanding, to deny this is to deny historical fact and overtly admit to being a historically ignorant asshat.

The most lethal of Judaized Protestant ideology for, or I should say against the long term survival of a Christian Nation is the adamant force with which the individualistic Protestants preach grace not works , hence their total lack of unity and involvement when it came to building and maintaining a strong Christian community and nation .

Their mantra is, I don’t need no stinking works, I’m going to heaven on grace alone and everybody and everything comes after needn’t concern me.

God commanded his people to go forth and multiply their numbers. Protestants failed this miserably.

The only people going to heaven – saved – out of any denomination are those that believe Jesus for the eternal life He promises, and regardless of anyone’s works or lack thereof, the only WORK that is acceptable is the work Jesus accomplished. Have ye not read? John 6

28Then they inquired, “What must we do to perform the works of God?”

29Jesus replied, “The work of God is this: to believe in the One He has sent.”

The only thing a person can work for after believing Jesus for their eternal life is heavenly treasure – so how rich do you want to be in heaven? Heavenly treasure not that fun to work for – think praying for your enemies, no I mean the ones you are always hoping to see them end up in hell – pray for them sincerely!!! Right didn’t think so……….what do you mean by work?? Going to church on Sunday? Confession. Communion. dipping your fingers in holy water, bending the knee before entering the pew???? Turning cartwheels, throwing a twenty in the collection basket???? Phfffittttt

And therein lies the rub . The milquetoast Judaized bugmen , in the true vein of usury founded Protestantism believe that as long as they have their salvation, nothing else matters.
They have secured their ticket to heaven and thus anything the world does can never affect that. So let the wicked run amok; poison Christ’s well of salvation with tolerance debauchery, filth , lies and corruption, because hey. the bugman is going to heaven. He doesn’t need to risk his comfy position here on earth challenging Satan’s rule.
No works for him. It’s grace all the way.

The work is building a Christian civilization wherein Christ is King and all people and their posterity can live in peace and and security knowing that we are indeed doing the will God and truth and justice reign supreme.

It may be another 2 thousand years and a future for Christians and their posterity, must be secured. That is the WORK , brother and Catholics , up until the Protestants shattered the Church into t 22 thousand separate fragments, were very good at it.

So, I don’t really give a rat’s ass about your ‘personal salvation’ in the afterlife. What are you doing to build Christ’s nation here on earth, today ?

https://gab.com/CNofUSA

The Great Commission
16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

BTW, that fag in the video, needs to eat some beef and start lifting some weight. No man respects a weakling and you can’t win a man to nothing if you don;t have his respect.

Protestants sold the Christian birthright to rule his own nation for muh shiny shekels and a promise of a happy afterlife, but only if he didn’t bother the secular rulers of the earth with his skygod nonsense i.e. In exchange for Protestant tolerance of an evil and corrupt government , the evil and corrupt government will tolerate the self-serving milksop Protestant.

“In order to apprehend what is new in the post-liberal order, we have to first understand how liberalism as a philosophical and political project developed its distinct notions about the proper relationship between religion and the public sphere. Building on Martin Luther’s theological revolution, liberal thinkers from John Locke to John Stuart Mill embraced the Protestant ideal of religion as chiefly concerned with faith, not works. As Luther argued in one of his most influential essays, ‘On the Freedom of a Christian’ (1520):

God cannot be received and honoured by any works, but by faith alone. Hence it is clear that, as the soul needs the word alone for life and justification, so it is justified by faith alone and not by any works. For if it could be justified by any other means, it would have no need of the word, nor consequently of faith.

Please note “proper” and “true religion” as “private, faith-based, and thus necessarily individualist in nature”.

In short: your beliefs are silly, so stay out of our way as we rule over you.”

I was introduced to a Catholic church via divorce and subsequent remarriage to a Catholic by mom when I was age 8. My brief introduction to church of any kind up until that time was in the grandparents Southern Baptist church. In the Catholic church the mass was done in Latin which being from Texas had no meaning to me. I never figured out what “domino bisco” or whatever was said at every mass meant. I was placed in a youth Sunday school class and the nun scared the hell out of me. Just not for me.

I’ll type this slow, so you can understand it. I’m am not advocating anyone become a Catholic . I am not and never will become Catholic. The point I am trying to make is that Protestantism did not rise out of a vacuum. It was cleverly plotted, financed and installed as money lender initiative to break the power of Christian unity and as revenge for being expelled from various countries. What came after the shattering of a unified Christian church is illustrated everyday, across the country in the demonic displays of human filth known as drag queen story hour.

If course people that refuse to read history can never understand the battle won by Satan at the dismantling of a Universal and Unified Church.
Now any deviant with a penchant for degeneracy can start a church and sell any type blasphemy they want to unsuspecting sheep. The Church used to protect people from such assaults upon their spiritual being. Torquemada did nothing wrong.

“If you don’t know history, then you don’t know anything. You are a leaf that doesn’t know it is part of a tree. ”
Michael Crichton

Philip II: (1527-1598)
William Thomas Walsh

“It did not occur to the kings that if the money-lenders ever got
power enough, if they ever got from under the public-spirited
repression of the Church, they would destroy their own masters.
Kings were not generally as far-sighted as money-changers, and
much less so than priests. This is not to deny that clerics sometimes
condoned usury and profited by it, or that some kings repressed it.
Human affairs are never so simple as that. But there was a line of
cleavage: the Church on one side hostile to usury, the kings
compelled to make use of it on the other.

As the moral influence of the Church was weakened in the
political and economic spheres, in consequence of a series of
calamities for which she was not to blame—the Black Death, the
papal exile at Avignon, the Great Schism, the return of paganism
with the Renaissance—usury began to accumulate wealth and to
organize its influence. With canny insight it threw its influence, by
and large, against the power of Church and State, supporting now
one, now the other, until, by a see-saw process, it succeeded in
weakening both.

It early identified itself with the forces of heresy in religion and
liberalism in politics, until Protestantism at last gave money-lending a certificate of respectability, until a Lord Bacon could write a serious defense of it, and Harrison (in Holinshed) must chronicle the capitulation of the new Protestant England to “usury, a trade brought in by the Jews, but now perfectly practised almost by every
Christian, and so commonly that he is accompted but for a fool that
doth lend his money for nothing.”5 ”

What about the Catholic Priests, Bishops and Cardinals that have fondled Altar Boys for ages? Along the same lines of biblical abomination as the drag queens, eh?

I’ve never attended a Methodist church but do recall in the late 90’s a huge Methodist church in downtown Fort Worth , Texas that caught much flack because it had decided to perform a “marriage” for a same sex “couple”. I don’t recall if it was two people with penises or two people with vaginas. I think it was vaginas. I was working in the Burnett Plaza building in downtown FW the day a sizable number of protestors gathered in front of that church protesting the gay “marriage” thing.

Further, as a youngster thrown into a catholic environment, the Sunday school class, actually a class that prepared one to take communion and learn the Catholic ways including confessing your sins to some man behind a screen (weird) I dreaded it for many reasons but the nuns that would carry yard sticks and whack kids on the hands for giving the wrong answer was flat out bizarre!

I don’t attend any church with the flag up front. The visual atmosphere of the place was what it is but what had me scratching my head is when I mentioned to a chief elder type head dog man his thoughts on “reformed theology”.

AWESOME Auntie!

It HAD to be put up!

I saw it in the theater with buddies when it came out. At the time, there was little to match the comedy level….and now, we see, “insightfullness” as well.

“The little fag gets it!

Piss boy! Come here…

No, no, no, yes, no, no, yes, no, no, YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!

The Jig is Up! And gone!”

There were lines, like with caddyshack, that would get repeated in the right cirumstances for decades.

And here we go again folks, right on schedule. Another communist virus and with the same rollout too: Starting in China and John Hopkins shilling once again. Except, this time, only the vaccines can save us:

The Nightmare COVID Variant That Beats Our Immunity Is Finally Here

A new subvariant of the novel-coronavirus called XBB dramatically announced itself earlier this week, in Singapore. New COVID-19 cases more than doubled in a day, from 4,700 on Monday to 11,700 on Tuesday—and XBB is almost certainly why. The same subvariant just appeared in Hong Kong, too.

…“It is likely the most immune-evasive and poses problems for current monoclonal antibody-based treatments and prevention strategy,” Amesh Adalja, a public-health expert at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, told The Daily Beast.

That’s the bad news. The good news is that the new “bivalent” vaccine boosters from Pfizer and Moderna seem to work just fine against XBB…

Hopefully, it won’t affect the U.S. Midterm Elections though? Fingers crossed.

“…poses problems for current monoclonal antibody-based treatments…”

Ah. I knew they’d tweak a strain which would laugh at monoclonals and sneer at ivermectin.

They’ve had enough time to do that now, so let’s get back to the PLAGUE!!!

These bastards never sleep.

I think I’ve already got it. My ears felt stopped-up while driving on I-40 up Black Mountain outside of Asheville about two hours ago. Is there a test or something?
Notice my knuckles are a little white also.

Thanks for the concern and info, but the white knuckles are from gazing from the West bound three lanes of I-40 to the three lanes East bound separated by a two foot wide cement barrier with multiple ragged holes in it from vehicles crashing through all while driving eighty miles an hour on a mountain.
It is always about twenty minutes of pure reality that it is sincerely possible one just might die that day.

Ah, outside of Asheville, NC. I’ve not been there. However, while Dallas/Fort Worth driving is like rolling the dice whether one makes it in and then out , Washington State scared the hell out of me. It’s like speed demons done come up from California! It’s pedal to the metal , get out of my way out there much like Texas but possibly worse.

Have only flown into and out of Dallas/Ft.Worth, switching planes to go to El Paso. Is that the crazy place the runway goes over the top of a major highway?
I do remember sitting in the jet waiting in a long lines of jets to take off. Had never seen so many jets just taking off one after another. Pretty impressive. It was night and all the lights and the fire out of the engines and noise, now that was really something waiting for your turn. I’d never flown before so this was now the second time taking off.

Yes, approaching a runway on the north side of the DFW airport.

Delta flight 191 , Aug. 1985. Wind shear. 136 passengers and crew perished and one individual in a car.

The aircraft struck a highway street light, and its nose gear touched down on the westbound lane of Highway 114, skidding across the road at at least 200 miles per hour (170 kn; 320 km/h).[23] The aircraft’s left engine hit a Toyota Celica driven by 28-year-old William Mayberry, killing him instantly.[24][4]: 25 [16]

The inquisitiveness of childhood & youth is borne away (by monopo-fags burning brightly with arson agendas). But doing away with the middlewo/men, & especially doing away with the original, first position wo/men (that’d be you), does not erase need of the function. *Doing away with middlemen does not do away middlemen functions.*

So the so-neutered vote for the clowns the vertical integrators offer. And the inquisitiveness that was once decentralized & diversified but has always been continuously rolled up-up-up the Babel Tower storeys is concentrated – made gain of function poisonous – in the hands of Grand Inquisitors.

On one hand, stupid/cowardly people. But on the other, they were got from the get, got when they were fresh & young, & they were despoiled.

Child sacrifice … that’s a TL;DR riddle. At least it is for all grown-up kids the parental surround riddled with Munchausen Proxy pox in those formative years.

Try this: using a stopwatch, breathe in slowly for 10 seconds. Fill your lungs, then let your belly expand like a bellows opening. For the next 10 seconds, reverse. Slowly close the bellows, squeeze air from your belly to upper chest. Repeat for 2 minutes. Do this every three hours and you’ll feel better.

The stress we are all under causes alot of people to breathe shallowly, which doesn’t get all the CO2 out. The blood gas imbalance will make your nervous system alarmed, then anxious, then panic. The bellows action of this exercise reverses that.

Alternatively you could suck a bong full of sour diesel. One hit and no one has to tell you how to breathe any more. You realize there is no spoon.

Gab, aren’t those the guys that were calling for the permanent elimination of Mike Pence?

I’m not into throwing accolades toward any man in politics. I do know Trump supporters and like Trump, Pence is worshipped. So what’s up with the Gab desiring to eliminate an American hero?

“Dr. Nass’s license was suspended by the Licensure Board based on complaints by two “activists” …. “

Reality; these two complainers had ZERO to do with Dr. Nass’s license being suspended. That decision was made much much earlier. The two complainers only served as The Big Excuse to abuse her.

Ms. Freud had hundreds of clients in her psychology practice. During that entire time ONE person filed a complaint. She went through HELL for four months defending herself. (She prevailed.)

You see this all throughout America today …. in school boards, at work, wherever … where a handful, or even just one person can unleash a tsunami of pain and destruction upon another — as long as the Other Person holds the wrong-kinds-of-belief.

===============

“Dr. Nass is demonstrating how they can be effectively opposed.”

Correction ….

“Dr. Nass is demonstrating how they can be effectively opposed as long as you have time and lots of money.”

This is why we all need to withdraw all services we provide. If not appreciated or respected, fuck ’em. Let them figure out how to do all the things they relied on us for.

Go Galt until the masses die off or come to their senses. OK, so it will be the first one. I am OK with that.

Regards the ‘flogging in court”, Nay say I. They should be publicly severely flogged in the most public forum in the area in which they live with the flogging broadcast on all communication media for the encouragement of others who would emulate them.
