Barack The Slave

~ POTUS OBAMA IS–FOR MANY BLACK AMERICANS— a symbol of slavery reversed. Of course, the ancestors of his Kenyan father was never an American slave, so it’s not technically true for him, even if it is the fruit of the Civil Rights movement.

~ WHEN THE TUDOR BUREAUCRACY of Henry VIII enforced protestantism on the former Catholic bastion of England, it set off generations of conflict, persecution, civil war, spiritual and ecclesiastical vandalism, and oppression and misery on the local and parish level. And lotsa dead bodies.

As detailed in his magisterial book The Stripping of the Altars: Traditional Religion in England, 1400-1580, Dr. Eamon Duffy makes clear that most of England was unwilling to change.. indeed, there are more than a few shades of Human Rights Commission spying, enforcement, top-down bullying, crippling fines, abusive government agents on inquisition– all the ugliness of the modern state apparatus deployed against its won people which became the hallmark of the modern age.

Enter Papa B-16

Exactly 500 years after nasty ol’ Henry 8.0 came to the throne, history is unfolding before our eyes.

~ WHEN YOU THROW AWAY THE REAL COMMANDMENTS, it’s not like you got rid of them, but you’ll be replacing them with other ordinances. Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery? Hmm.. Draconian Smoking Bylaws cover that. No Bearing False Witness?.. how’s about mandatory curly-bulbs to save the earth? Never mind all the diets & food rules, speech-codes, politically forbidden topics of conversation or disagreement. We gots commandments aplenty.

– ITEM: When Government Replaces God and Family.

~ THE VIRTUE OF distilled and eternal wisdom is that it can save us from endlessly repeating the same mistakes; from thinking we’re just the bestest thing ever; from that pride and limitation of vision which is a particular human failing.

So as we watch Count Iggy in Canada, or Emperor Obama in his USSR, it almost seems to strike some people as shocing that leaders are prone to teh stupid, teh arrogant, and general opportunism and badness. Watchers of Greek drama would know better; those who knew the history behind Roman law-codes would understand; and the Bible is quite plain:

“Put not your trust in princes, nor in any child of men.” [ Psalm 146:3 ]

All-powerful all-giving government is a 20th century innovation and hope. It was part of the whole utopia-thing, to remove people from poverty and sickness. Communism, Fascism, democratic Capitalism are all attempts to use government as a means to the greater end– and in many ways, it has succeeded. The sick and poor in any third-world country would willingly trade places with those of Toronto or New York: our poor are often pretty well off, materially speaking.

A Great Blog

~ BACK WHEN I WAS AN Intel Chief in the Anglican Wars, I ran a couple of go-to websites for the Rest Of The News on those particular current affairs. Big hits, big work, lots of excitement. We were eventually hacked offline via two Episcopal Church sources– the head office, and a Left Coast Diocese. But I digress.

If you’re watching the rise of Draconistan under Mr. Obama, one website you simply must attend to is The Real Barack Obama (RBO). Consistent, factual, hard-hitting. Bookmark it, pass the word.

Your Treasure Hoard

~ TO BE SPECIFIC: We need to remember, recover, and re-establish Western civilization: our history, ideas, law, and faith.

Radicals know that the patient take-over and undermining of institutions– the systems and structures we have for doing things, and passing them on to the next generation– are crucial to the rebellion against the Western heritage they despise as Marxist fascists. So church, education, government, an culture must be taken over and turned to the new purpose of revolution, utopia, and mindless conformity. The third fascist wave of the West (according to Jonah Goldberg’s excellent Liberal Fascism) began in the 1950’s and 60s with the taking of the schools and universities. Always go for the brains, first. The old guard collapse like tissue paper, and the era of radicalism, anti-Westernism, and a hundred other little isms began the giant stinking brain-rot that is most politically correct indoctrination/ education that we have today– all at the tax-payers’ dime, of course.. radicals love infecting other people’s institutions, tearing down other people’s work, adn spending other people’s money.
