This is such an intriguing post. Loved how beautifully things are written..

I too have a piece that I am sharing, do have a look.. in your spare time.

Something different, something magical, something that expresses visually and caligraphically.

David Hawkins is someone that I have learned a lot from (https://veritaspub.com/) A useful tool is the Map of Consciousness, which helps to rapidly assess a situation, event, person and even the concepts like communism. Karl Marx scores low on the map.

Communism made the threats, has killed hundreds of millions, promised World domination, uses same techniques.

People simply believe it's an economic system. No! Militant atheism by people who want to kill, kill, kill

In communism, one cannot have family ties or love, for that will eventually lead to a person desiring property. They will destroy that desire.

I dig your style!

I heard people start saying, that's not politically correct, John. 1980s. Testily

What???

Much of time, they use this nonsense against Catholic teaching and natural law.

As close as I can tell, pc is social narxism.

I've always despised and rejected it... And been banned more than I can count😎✌

I’m so glad you saw right through PC when it began. In college, I saw through it, but was (usually) careful to use the proscribed language because I knew bad things would happen if I didn’t. Soon after graduation I came to understand who I truly am and I eschewed those things.

I still do my best to be charitable and polite, of course, but as a grown woman, I vowed I wouldn’t bow to any other god, but the God who created the universe - the Holy Trinity.

Fulton J Sheen said communism must and always begins with an atheistic base. That way, the men (in charge from the top to the lowest) can be conditioned to no longer make the distinction between right and wrong. This makes them ready to establish the social system, which is communism.

It is a system of spying on one's neighbor, coworkers, even one's own family. The punishment for those turned in is always death. In short, this makes all persons involved slaves and equal in their slavery -- true equity (what our country is trying to achieve right now -- equity).

She definitely wasn’t kidding. At all. It’s everywhere and worse than any pathogen that could be created by evildoers in some lab (who are mostly defacto communists anyway).

Well said. Evil thrives among us and good men do nothing. I would shake my head in wonder, but I know the game is all about good vs. evil. God wins but the going through hell first is going to separate the wheat from the chaff. We cannot afford to be lukewarm.

Thank you, Sadie. My daddy always said, "You can't walk in the middle of the road. You must choose one side or the other. Otherwise, you're gonna get hit one day and it won't be a hit you'll survive." People need to heed that...it's a warning.

Your dad sounds like a smart man. Mine was, and he gets smarter every day.

Thank you, Sadie. We are VERY fortunate women (wealthy, even) to have had such wise and loving dads. As you know, one of the greatest tragedies of our time is the denigration of fathers (by the feminists and weak men who sign on to that ideology) that has caused so much strife, turmoil, and loss of life.

Lenin came into Russia from Germany on a "Special Train" through the WW I battlelines. Trotsky came from NYC with pockets full of Bankster Gold. These Bolsheviks overthrew the Christian Tsar and murdered his entire family to subjugate Russians for 75 years.

I was aware of Lenin coming from Germany, but certainly didn’t know Trotsky came from NY. Wow. Yes the murder and overthrow of the Romanov family is unspeakably tragic and they are not forgotten. I was raised with stories of them and even photographs.

I would like to learn more about how Trotsky came from NY. I shall research this later today. Thank you so much for reading and commenting.

Lenin wasn't his real name . . . Lenin, Trotsky, and Stalin were all Jews . . . Karl Marx came from rabbinical families on both the paternal and maternal sides . . .

Interesting. And I hadn’t heard that quote from Martin Luther. Makes me want to read Esther again!

THis was very good! I am a convert, as well, and was led to begin learning about Catholicism through Bishop Sheen and William F. Buckley, Jr.

Hello dear friend, Spiro. Yes, I am quite familiar with Bella Dodd and have read her entire book, "School of Darkness," now out of print, but it's free online in PDF format. If you haven't read it and would like it, I have it somewhere and can send you the file.

You are correct, it was Cupich who said this and it is Cupich who is holding up the progression of his journey to sainthood. You may know that a couple of years ago, he was to be elevated to Blessed, but Cupich and others of his ilk blocked it. I agree with you that McCarrick (however one spells his name) was one of her recruits. But now the infection has been spread by him and others like him. As with a family, the sins of the father...

Haha you were booted from Twitter? And for that? But what you said is TRUE! Of course, we know that these people care nothing for actual truth. I tried, but wasn't booted. I guess you were banned prior to Musk. Things have opened up there quite a bit. I'm still no longer too active there because I've simply taken up other things and I've gotten much more needed client work lately (ad majorem Dei gloriam).

Yes the FBI is no longer the agency of the great Eliot Ness. I've no idea of Ness's spiritual affiliations, but if he's in Purgatory or Heaven, I'm sure he's lamenting that the agency he served so valiantly has turned into such a pit of putrid corruption (not the rank and file, but the leadership). Those creeps can spy on us all they like. We're praying, worshipping, working out our salvation with fear and trembling...we are the Church Militant and if we must fight, so be it. I do not believe I am meant to wear a martyr's crown, at least I do not want this, but if I must...I will do it.

And yes, Russia will spread her error throughout the world. But whose fault is that? I think you know the answer, dear brother. It is the weak popes who did not release the 3rd secret and did not do as Our Lady asked regarding consecrating Russia. I do not blame Russia. I blame THEM!

I love JBP and we've read 12 Rules, watched countless hours of his talks, and I've taken his personality test. I haven't read Beyond Order yet, but my husband has. I REALLY want to read it, so need to finish the book I'm reading now, Christus Vincit.

We abandoned labels a while ago, but still, we are conservatives. But, that's kind of a misnomer because, though we're conservative (VERY), we're definitely independent first. I completely understand your reasoning behind your abandoning all of the crazy labels others insist on putting upon others. In a way, we need labels. I mean, I'm a wife (label), a mother (label), and athlete, etc. But these other people, their use of labels is meant to separate, not just to describe a person with no implications as to character. For example, just labeling me as a wife is fine, but does it tell you anything good or bad? No. It doesn't convey whether I'm a good wife (I strive to be with all my heart) or a bad wife. And that's ok. It's when labels begin to take on the character of lumping all people bearing a certain label into one box. Nowadays, a conservative comes with certain connotations that make some people literally want to KILL us. It's ridiculous.

"That being said, I worship my Creator and study his Holy Bible. Someday this might get me into hot water and that is ok." <- It might get any of us who worship Him and study His Word in trouble, but I won't stop.
