The Times (of London) has announced that the recent terrorist assassination of the Russian general 'is a legitimate act of defense by a threatened nation'. It's late, but better than never, and I am grateful for the implicit legitimisation of the assassination of alleged paedophile, "Uncle Dickie" Mountbatten and the simultaneous liquidation of eighteen members of his occupying army. It's refreshing to read such honesty from the mouthpiece of the truly most evil empire in history.
Illustrative of how far into Hell Ireland is fallen is today's jailing of a man for assault in the disruption of a 'drag story hour' for children. In my opinion, he would have been morally justified to kill these perverts. How much longer, Lord? Come, Lord Jesus, in Your full Power and Glory.
A game of cat & mouse. The State will imprison Burke again when the school returns after the Christmas holidays because he will go and stand at the school gates. The interesting thing is that Enoch Burke still receives his school salary every month whilst he is in prison or not. Now poor Enoch can go and visit his Dad in prison as he was sentenced to jail this week for allegedly striking a Gard (policeman). The Burke family are a thorn in the side of the demoniac Irish State - it is a pity there are not 100 Burke families in Ireland as they would bring the court system to a grinding halt. A Biblical family of ten children - Ammi, Elijah, Enoch, Esther, Isaac, Jemima, Josiah, Keren, Kezia, and Simeon - all of them home-schooled and highly intelligent.
I hope if my time ever comes to stand up I will be as brave. Perhaps being a very close family helps a little. Some visionaries have said that Catholics need to be more and more in community for what is coming. That is probably true. We need to be closer to each other to help.
One Great Sign for me in these present dark days are the good people I see in Church every day. Every single one of them I find inspiring. All different yet each of them with something to teach me. I looked round at a lot of them before Mass the other day and thought about the good every one of them too. The people who come in every Monday morning like clock work to count the Parish Money. The couple who collect people in the mornings to bring them to Mass. The old nun so lost in prayer, so old and so gentle. A library of stories. One gentleman who attends Mass every day is very striking. He was a big time drug dealer who survived a murder attempt. Everyone seemed to want to kill him and he had to go into hiding. He stayed in a remote cottage for a couple of years and only came out to buy groceries. His family have disowned him. He even looks like a bit of a thug. Like someone from the movies. Yet there he is, large as life at Mass every day a changed person. Remarkable. It reminds me of what Mother Tereasa said, 'Some people come into your life as Lights and some people as lessons'. I am very impressed with any Catholic who keeps the Faith at the moment; they are really, really swimming against the flow. Just ordinary people; yet not ordinary at all. 'There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations - these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub and exploit - immortal horrors or everlasting splendors. This does not mean that we are to be perpetually solemn. We must play. But our merriment must be of that kind (and it is, in fact, the merriest kind) which exists between people who have, from the outset, taken each other seriously - no flippancy, no superiority, no presumption.” ' ― C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory
I didn't know it came to Europe. I know that this disease has spread in the USA and Canada, in Europe I expected maybe in Britain and liberal Sweden, the Netherlands... However, it is amazing to me that it is happening in Ireland. I really don't know what's going on in these parents' heads that they can take their child to such a demonic environment and still brag about it. It looks like the pagan sacrifice of children to demons only in a spiritual sense. Evil in its hatred of man twists God's plan for man. The marriage of a man and a woman becomes a same-sex marriage. Marriage results in children, and here they allow same-sex couples to adopt children. God created male and female, and evil through transgender ideology twists concepts, roles and genders... Jesus said let the little children come to me, and here we have a case of parents leading children towards the demonic. Sick, I don't know what to say.
Ireland, maybe because there has been such a huge diaspora to there, is hugely influenced by American society. Listening to people talk here about US politics on the radio or tv, or reading what is written in the national newspapers, usually resembles a party political broadcast in favour of the Democratic Party. That was not a problem in the days of JFK, but things have changed. Whatever is in fashion in New York or California will find a following here. Most particularly among the wealthier and more educated.
How I love Iteland and the people and I will be praying for them. I know that whatever they want to pass will pass...just like here...chaos and insanity seems to be the rule . It is so easy to see now, how, only through God's intervention, will we make it.
I think the strongest fact lies in the English language, which is the mother tongue for both regions. It's easier for people to connect and identify, and yet, as you say, the diaspora is also large. Although 95% of people under the age of 40 use English for entertainment/education, we still have that barrier where our native language is used in everyday use, domestic media, education... It is interesting how the Irish once made up 50% of the total American Catholic population and shaped American society without a doubt in a positive sense. Now it's coming back like a boomerang, only the negative, and not only towards Ireland, but also towards other countries. In former communist European countries, this "Americanization" started in 90's as we call it is a set of cultural and ideological forms of society through the media, and later social networks. In the past, trends came more slowly, but with the Internet, that process has become faster. The second segment of changes is carried by funded NGO associations that first carried out protests and quietly inserted themselves into education, and later emerged as green parties with a clearly left-wing extremist ideology. The third pillar of the attack comes from the World Bank, the EU Commission, the UN, the WHO, where member countries are ordered through various co-financed projects to fulfill their "obligations" by inserting such content into education, culture, etc. In this way, they indoctrinate in schools, through the media and social networks, and on the other hand, parents no longer have time for their children, while a large part of parents are already from the generation of the 80s and 90s, who were shaped by liberal ideologies and consider it normal. The influence of the Church weakened, and the older population that was of a different mindset "disappeared".
I think historically the Irish in America were strongly linked to the Democratic Party. Especially on the East Coast, Tamany Hall. I think this still lingers and explains a lot. I think a lot of the bad behaviour of the American Catholic Bishops is linked to them getting huge amounts of money from the Federal Government which they don't want to loose.
Yes. I'm seeing that in everything I read.. the open border here seems to point to these Bishops and so called bus nuns, definitely worried about losing their big payouts they aren't getting it from the people who attend. Latin Mass. They were the biggest contributors to their parishes and Priests...so they have to get it from somewhere. Catholic charities is just another democratic arm so alot aren't giving. Money given at Church goes to Their Bishops and to Rome so yes the money is drying up. Such a well planned game has been going on and thank God we are seeing it.
I have no idea, I know its been going the rounds on Social Media. I suppose it would take a real photographer to tell. https://spiritdaily.org/blog/news/quite-a-sight-2 https://www.facebook.com/groups/1301659750215310/posts/2369810226733585/
Actually I think I saw another photo from Glendalough that was very similiar but it looked like the Mother of God holding the child Jesus. I must see if I can find it.
The impact of seeing it for the first time makes one want to believe it is real, imho. Like a tap on the shoulder from above ~ Just before the pandemic, an amateur took this from a doorstep in our neighborhood ~ I've thought of it as a tap of love from Love Himself ~
