The hypocrisy of the media; the mouthpiece of the left...

Brainwashing; what is it, and how it affects what people think and do.

First, here is the dictionary definition of brainwashing: to indoctrinate so as to replace a person's convictions with an opposing set of beliefs.

The problem is with this part of the definition: "so as to replace a person's convictions..."

What convictions?  Does the average "Joe" have convictions?  A set of beliefs that can fend off the attempt to brainwash in the first place?

How many folk, for instance, watch the 6'oclock "news," then immediately have it implanted in their psyche that what they just heard and watched, is now "gospel."  Do they even have the slightest inclination to question what they just heard?   To find out if the news is truthful, or real, or, perhaps, just made up?

Look at the current tidal wave of lies regarding our president; the ongoing investigations into "collusion" with Russia to influence the 2016 presidential election.  But completely ignoring the obvious felonies committed by the radical left, especially those of the Clinton and Obama regimes.

There are so many felonies it would take a book to list all the corruption and rotten deals made behind closed doors, but also those consummated in the open.

The arrogance of it all!

Let me pick just one example...

The handling, or, should I say, the mishandling of classified information.

For many years, I worked with sensitive, highly classified information, while an employee for the US Navy, and later, for a major defense contractor.  

If I had mishandled, or misplaced just one Top Secret message or document, or transmitted it in the "clear" (unencrypted) and it fell into unauthorized hands (mostly through electronic eavesdropping), I could have been convicted and sentenced to a lengthy term in Leavenworth federal prison.  

Hillary Clinton used computers, and other devices, to store and transmit classified information "in the clear."  That means, it could very easily have been -- and probably was --intercepted and used against the US or our allies, to the detriment of the security of our nation, and our agents in the field.

So, the question begs: why hasn't this witch been prosecuted?   What spell does she have over the media and those responsible for enforcing the laws of our country?   Threats?   Fear of retribution?  "Suicide"?  Is the media that powerful?  Complicit?

I ask this question rhetorically, because, I feel, all are true, and more.

That is one of the reasons that I always point out, that we, as a people, cannot and should not, put our trust, hopes and dreams in any one man or woman politician, or political party, no matter how "conservative" he or she may be.

The proper use of our sexuality...

As I wrote in a previous post, true masculinity compliments true femininity.  Our very bodies compliment each other; they complete each other, and make the two, one.

This should sound familiar for anyone that has done even a cursory reading of the Bible: (paraphrasing) the man will leave his mother and father, and cleave to his wife; the two become one flesh.

But is the Bible really necessary to point out these data?

Don't get me wrong, it is a good thing to read the Bible, but God-given common sense dictates that we recognize the Natural Law in all of this.  Problems begin when that very same natural law is cast aside in favor of our pride.  Unfortunately, many of us use our free will to do what we want, when we want, instead of living according to the moral traditions past down to us through the generations.

But I digress...

So, what is the proper use and role of our sexuality, and when should that expression of our sexuality legitimately be used?

The answer is "simple," but instead has become quite complicated with all the superfluous  circumstances in the form of "ifs," "ands," or "buts," that society has injected into that simplicity.

So, here is that SIMPLE answer: our sexuality should only be used within the state of matrimony, as husband and wife.

See, it's that simple!

Within marriage, the true expression of the sexuality between husband and wife serves two major purposes as created by the Author of life: the multiplication of humankind, along with the remedy for concupiscence (this is intended to support and reinforce fidelity and commitment between spouses).

I welcome any comments regarding this post.

I fully expect that some might hurl various epithets for stating this truth, but that's okay, I can take it...

The monsters of Murder, Inc. (AKA: "planned" "parenthood")

So, you think that the ancient Incas or Aztecs were barbarians regularly sacrificing live humans to their "gods"?   Well, they had nothing on the monsters who tear apart pre-born babies and sell their parts to other demons for filthy lucre.

What strikes me as almost baffling, is the coldness of heart when I hear those "doctors" (remember the Hippocratic oath?  Do no harm!) discuss what they do if they have a "problem" if the poor, tiny girl or boy doesn't "cooperate" and, perhaps, fights for his or her life while still in their mother's womb -- the greatest of all instincts, to preserve one's life.

What is also striking, are some of the recent rulings by various liberal judges who attempt to sensor, and even stop, the undercover videos exposing these heinous "procedures" employed at Murder, Inc.  (By the way, there really was a Murder, Inc.  A mob organization formed back in the 1930s for the purpose of putting "contracts" out -- a hit -- on their enemies.)

Remember, it was our so-called supreme court that, back in 1973, using phony info from brainwashed females, concluded that somewhere in the Constitution, was a "right to privacy" so the mother -- and I use that term very lightly -- could terminate her pregnancy (kill her baby, legally, with no consequences).

Funny thing, those judges, in their ruling, failed to mention the Declaration of Independence -- not to mention the Natural Law -- expounding our right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

You can't have liberty or the pursuit of happiness, without LIFE.

So, here we are 60 + million pre-born murders later, with little change in sight.

Sure, Pres. Trump would like nothing better to defund that hellish "non-profit" organization, but the resistance from the Demonrats -- and even from too many Republicrats -- is astounding, and, yes, diabolical, and outright frightening to any decent soul.

Another aspect of those who support Murder, Inc., is the fact that so many bought and sold politicians are "Catholic," or claim to be same.

Right, and if you believe that, I have this bridge for sale...

One more thing: this ongoing disaster continues to have so much momentum because of contraception.

Those who claim to be "pro-life" (and there are some true pro-lifers out there) might also be using contraception.  So what if the contraception fails?

See the dilemma, and the possible next course of action?   After all, if "I" have that "problem," there is always the alternative, right?  And no one has to know about it; this is called self-deception.

Either one is pro-life -- and that includes NOT using contraception -- or stop using the term pro-life to describe yourself or your organization...

But always pray to end abortion, contraception, homosexuality and euthanasia, and for the stability of marriage in this country and around the world.

The moral virtue of fortitude; what it is and how it helps us...

Fortitude: One of the four cardinal virtues.

Simply stated, it is strength of mind allowing a person to withstand pain and adversity courageously.

Here is an example... A fireman runs into a burning house to rescue a child or adult, and takes him out of harms way, to safety.

In another example, a soldier runs out onto the battle field to pull his wounded brother from certain death, to get him medical aid.

In my own experience, when I was on the perimeter in Vietnam, and things started to get a little "dicey," come hell or high water, I had to stay at my post, and face whatever danger was approaching the wire.  Or, when my brothers and I were out in the boondocks, and a report came over the radio that a large contingent of enemy troops were heading in our direction, we had to stay put, hunker down, and prepare for the worst.

In any one of these examples, did anyone involved have to think about the virtue of fortitude?

No.

If they, or I, were interviewed after the fact, and were asked the question: did you have to think about what the consequences might be by running into that burning house?   Or saving a wounded brother from enemy fire?

Again, the short answer would be no.  We just went ahead and did what had to be done.  I guess you could say that fortitude was built into  us.  It helped us to overcome the fear of what we had to deal with.

But no one has to have the experience of running into a burning building, or saving a wounded soldier on the battlefield, just getting through the day sometimes can require great fortitude.

Always pray for that very important cardinal (moral) virtue of fortitude, and, if you have it, thank God for it.  If you don't have it, pray FOR it...

A Father's Day wish for all those Dads out there in the hinterlands..

If there ever was a time and need for strong fathers, this is the time!

Men, by nature, have to be masculine -- not just "male", but masculine! -- to compliment the femininity of women.

The husband compliments his wife in many ways, not just in the physical sense, but also in the roles that each plays in bringing life into the world and raising and nurturing their offspring.

A strong father is necessary to guide his family toward the final end of the Beatific Vision; the mother is the heart of the primary building block of society.  As the old song says: you can't have one without the other!

I hope that this day will be a happy one for all fathers.

God bless!

What is the primary cause of the tidal wave of evil in the world?

Evil, it seems, is having its way with the world with little to impede its progress.

How can this be?

I contend that there is a main reason for this phenomenon; the obvious cannot be denied.

I will tell you all that it is the weakness in the Catholic Church.

The patience of the Founder of the church, I feel, must be close to the end.  And yet, He told us that the gates of hell will not prevail against her!  So what does this mean in "numbers" of the remnant that will be left?  It could be small, very small, but what matters is that there will be an element of the faithful left to fulfill the command to spread the Word and baptize all nations.

It is said that it will be the laity, and not the hierarchy that will save and serve His church.  I believe this to be true.

The church, at one time, was seen as a moral and spiritual beacon in a world gone mad, even by non-Catholics; a lighthouse, if you will, in the fog of heresy and the storm of revolution, but no more.

I admit that it would be easy, very easy to despair, but remember the promise.  He does not renege; the Word is concrete; it will last until the end of time...

Keep that promise in mind; never give up the fight for what is right and just!  Be charitable toward your family and your neighbor, and, above all, have faith!

Evolution and atheism.

The unproven "theories" of evolution as presented by Charles Darwin have swept the world.

As a natural consequence of this disaster, the rise of secular humanism has also swept the world.

Many have come to believe that because of the "reality" of evolution, the idea or need for a Creator being has been negated.  This, of course, plays right into the hands those who believe that mankind evolved from some lower form of life, e.g., an ameba that crawled out of the pond full of scum, and eventually started to "think."   (I have shortened the timespan here by about a couple of hundred million years, of course.  No need to continue to believe in the Biblical story of creation...)  

How did all that happen?  Easy: natural selection.  Right?

Now, some would criticize me for bringing in religion regarding a comment about evolution, but bear with me and I'll show you the connection, or, should I say, the disconnect between communistic atheism and God.

In the early- to mid-twentieth century, there was a Catholic bishop by the name of O'Gara who was assigned to care for, and evangelize the needy in China.  As World War II got under way, the Japanese, initially successful in their rampage through many provinces, arrested and imprisoned the good bishop O'Gara in 1941, and sentenced him to death.

The sentence was never carried out, so he, and others survived only to be re-arrested by the Communists (under Mao) in 1949, and again, imprisoned.

I will now let Bishop O'Gara tell in his own words what he and others were "taught" in the re-education camps:

“Now what, I ask,” wrote the bishop, “was the first lesson given to the indoctrinees? One might have supposed that this would have been some pearl of wisdom let drop by Marx, Lenin, or Stalin.  Such however was not the case. The very first, the fundamental,  lesson given was man’s descent from the ape – Darwinism!  . . . Darwinism negates God, the human soul, the after-life. Into this vacuum Communism enters as the be-all and the end-all of the intellectual slavery it has created. In the Red prison in which I was held, the slogan, ‘Bring your mind over to us and all your troubles will end,’ was hammered into the minds of the prisoners with brutal and numbing monotony.  Nothing but a groveling holocaust of the human person can satiate the lust for dominance of Peking’s Red regime.”

Darwinism; evolution; the state; the negation of God; the result: slavery, not freedom...

Are all atheists Communists?  Certainly not, but those who choose not to believe in God (He gave us free will to do just that!) will "believe" in anything except God.
