The Crosses We (Should) Bear...

Years ago, when I frequently donated blood for various causes, there was a slogan inside some of the facilities that read: Be A Quiet Hero, Give Blood, or words to that effect...

Some, I'm sure, did it for vainglory, but most would not brag about their donations, and kept their kindness and sacrifice for those in need, below the radar screen.

The very first time I donated blood was in 1966 while in the Air Force.  The call went out base-wide for blood donors to help replace the blood and plasma that was used for the child of one of the Airmen stationed at our "tiny" Strategic Air Command base in the northeast corner of the state of Arkansas...

After working the overnight shift, providing perimeter security (protecting the alert B-52 bombers and KC-135 refueling tankers), nearly the entire flight (equivalent to an Army company) boarded an Air Force bus, and headed down to Memphis, Tennessee.  Our final destination was the St. Jude Children's Research hospital, founded by the actor, Danny Thomas, where the Airman's son was being treated, for what I believe, was some type of rare cancer.

A few of my fellow G.I.s dozed-off during the 70-mile trip to Memphis...  In fact, we didn't have enough time to change out of our duty uniforms, which included our fatigues, combat boots, and B-15 insulated jackets, minus only our Air Police badges...

The long trip culminated when we arrived at St. Jude's, tired and hungry, but glad to be able to help out our brother's son... To our happy surprise, we were treated to a great dinner of southern fried chicken and all the fixings... 

After the blood donation, we were given a tour of the incredible facility, treating mostly very young children with various diseases, especially rare forms of cancer.   

Even though this event took place 54 years ago, I, and most of my brother G.I.s, were quite impressed with the space-age-type-machines and associated equipment to treat the little patients.  And what was most impressive, as we were taken through the halls and treatments areas, was seeing up close and personal, these little troopers fighting for their very lives.   Some of these youngsters were barely ten years old, and many younger...

I wonder how many of these children knew what was really going on, or how and why they should be handling their individual dilemmas.   Did they think of their suffering as a Cross that had to be carried to the end of their successful treatment of their disease, or carried to the end of their young lives?   I don't know what they were thinking, but their parents knew exactly what was going on, and shouldered the burden of carrying Crosses for themselves -- and their child...

Such parents, and others who bear their Crosses, are the real heroes in this life...

Do we have the courage and guts to bear our Crosses and follow Our Lord on that narrow road that leads to life-eternal?  

Pray for strength and honor -- and His grace!

Face-Masks Required At Price Chopper Market?

Yesterday, my wife bought a few things at the supermarket chain, Price Chopper in Liberty, Missouri...

There is a sign at the front entrance telling any perspective shopper that they must wear a face-mask.  My wife walked in without a face-mask; no one stopped or questioned her, either at the entrance to the store, nor while inside the store...

I decided to stay in the parking lot and observe those shoppers coming and going...  Every customer that came out of the store had a face-mask, as well as those about to enter the store who put on their useless face-mask.  

The day was bright, sunny, with a slight breeze.  In other words, a beautiful day in western Missouri...

What I did notice, though, is that when the customers exited the store, and headed back to their vehicles, most still had on their masks while putting their groceries in their cars or pick-up trucks.  In fact, most didn't take off the masks until they got behind the wheel to head home.  

Interestingly, the Price Chopper employees that collected the shopping carts outside, in the parking lot, did not wear a face-mask. 

I have also seen some completely indoctrinated adult drivers wearing a face-mask while driving down the street in their vehicles!   

A recent survey claims that 9 out of 10 Americans wear a face-mask outside of their homes!  I find that hard to believe, but after watching all those mind-numbed robots entering and leaving Price Chopper, perhaps that survey is more accurate than I first thought. 

What really angers me, is that most of those "freedom-loving" Americans, accept at face value what they are told to do without researching; without questioning to find out if the (unlawful) mandates from the civil and medical "authorities" is factual or not.

That is scary!

What's next on the agenda of the fear-mongering, deep-state globalists?   Face-masks forever; "social distancing" forever; forced vaccinations for every man, woman, and child in America?   If that is the case, then we can change the spelling of our beloved nation from America, to Amerika, indicating complete government control of the populace, under the guise of "keeping us safe" from every germ under the sun...

One last thing that must be repeated: the paper or cloth face-mask -- even the "more effective" N-95, which can only filter down to 3 microns -- cannot stop the microscopic, COVID-19 virus, less than 1 micron in size!   In essence, all face-masks that you see folks wearing, are completely worthless.  In fact, when using a face-mask, you are breathing in your own germs, bacteria, dirt and saliva, and sending that filth down into your lungs.  

Remember the prophetic words of Ben Franklin: those who willingly sacrifice their liberties for security  (safety) -- deserve neither!

Resist the stupidity!

Strength and honor!

It's All About Sexual Promiscuity..

Regardless of the social or political movement, or cause, the commotion is all about unrestrained, sexual promiscuity.   

How so?

Look at those politicians, or Antifa anarchists, or, especially, the newest of the bizarre and seditious groups to wreak havoc on the streets of America, the so-called "black lives matter" Marxists, and what is the real bottom line to them?  What is the real cause celeb? 

No, it's not about justice or police brutality.  If one looks a little deeper, you will see that every single one of these lunatic entities, are concerned with one thing: the ability to engage in sexual promiscuity without any restraint or rules whatsoever.

I'm not exaggerating one single bit, because they know that if or when the female gets pregnant  (because the pill didn't work) there is always the available "legal" killing of that new life through the heinous procedure of abortion.

If you notice, one of the aims or goals of these groups is the destruction of the family unit.  Of course, that means not having any moral authority tell those folks what to do, or not to do regarding their own bodies.  

We have seen the signs: "my body, my choice."   

This faulty thinking rejects the idea that our bodies are not ours to do what we please.   Our bodies are supposed to be the temples of the Holy Ghost, designed for the purpose of multiplying and subduing the earth, if in the married state...

Sadly, it is not only the radical, leftist, anti-life Christ-haters that have little regard for any moral objectivity, it is also those women -- and men, of course -- who claim to be Christian/Catholic that have revolted against the moral teachings of the Natural Law, and the church's magisterium, regarding faith and morals.  

To such individuals, there is no accountability; there is no one to answer to for their actions, except themselves, so long as their actions do not impugn or restrict in some way, the rights of others.  This is right out of the Declaration of the Rights of Man, formulated from the reign of terror known as the French Revolution of 1789... 

No one to judge their actions; no judge, jury or church...

We see burning and destruction of people and businesses that, in some cases, poured their entire life-savings (blood, sweat and tears) to establish, only to see their dream destroyed right in front of their eyes, with little or no help from the police to stop the madness.

These are the same gangster-thugs that wouldn't give a second thought to destroying the little pre-born baby girl developing in the womb of her mother, rather than accept the responsibility for their sexual activity... 

After all, It's All About Sexual Promiscuity, and keeping abortion "legal" and "safe." Safe for who?  Certainly not for the target of the barbaric diabolical procedure...

Pray for our country...

Strength and honor!

S E D I T I O N!!

Sedition: conduct or speech inciting people to rebel against the authority of a state or monarch.

So, who is being seditious in our nation today?

Is it the law-abiding? 

Is it those Americans who believe in the (God-given) rights guaranteed under the Bill of Rights to the U.S. Constitution, especially the First Amendment: the right to peaceably assemble, and to exercise our right to practice our religion, along with the power and means to do just that, in the Second?

No.

It is those individuals and organizations that are not only anti-American, but also anti-Christ, that are burning, looting, and destroying significant sections of some of our major cities. Most especially those cities dominated by a leftist, Democratic machine intent on transforming our beloved country into some sort of "big brother utopia" where the state is god.  And make no mistake, their version of "god" is one that demands complete submission to its diabolical agenda, or else.  This has been proven time and time again.  And if we are not careful, history will repeat itself with a vengeance.

Do not take my word for it, just look around and see -- and listen -- to the actions and the words of our elected representatives who recently "questioned" Attorney General, Barr, in Congressional hearings: their intent was not to get answers, but to force-feed their twisted attacks and opinions on the General, without giving him a chance to respond.  This is not free speech: this was a vicious, controlled attack right out of the Marxist playbook... 

So, dear readers, it will be incumbent upon us freedom-loving Americans to put these seditious monsters in their place, and vote them out of office, post-haste, because it is they who give aid and succor to these insurrectionist demons.   

November is right around the corner... It's up to us to deliver a decisive blow to their anti-God agenda to enslave His faithful, and destroy the foremost building-block of society: the family...

Strength and honor!

The New Berlin Wall: Which Side Are We Americans On?

It is said that if we don't learn from history, it will be repeated.

 

When we went to school, we learned about the infamous Berlin Wall that separated East from West Germany.  That symbol of enslavement was built to keep a freedom-loving people from -- living free!

 

The Wall was part of what was to become the "Iron Curtain," that was established after World War II, when the old Soviet Union entered Berlin and gobbled-up much of Eastern Europe.  Some would call the Iron Curtain imaginary, but try telling that to those people that were under the heavy-handed reign of Communism.  Not only was there little economic opportunity, there was the more important elements of fear and control over the residents of the various Eastern European states.

 

The Berlin Wall was the focal point of world attention for many reasons, one being the nearly 100,000 attempts of escaping from the East (Communist controlled) section of Germany, to get to the (free) West.   About 5,000 succeeded in doing so.  However, several hundred died trying to overcome the impenetrable concrete barrier.

 

Even though there was a very real possibility that they would not survive their attempted escape, and could die at the hands of the heavily armed East German border guards, still, that did not dissuade their insatiable determination to be free. 

 

In 1989, the Wall came down.  But the memories of those who lost their physical lives are still honored and prayed for to this very day...

 

That was Germany.  Look what has, and is, happening right here in the United States of America...

 

We are now living under the illegal, immoral, unconstitutional mandates from civil and medical "authorities" demanding that we submit to their tyranny by wearing an ineffective face-mask, or being prevented from going to church, or if we can go to church, from singing our praises to God almighty!

 

There is a good possibility that a second lockdown will be implemented across our beloved nation.   But even worse, we may have to stick out our arms and be forcibly vaccinated.  This is something that we free Americans cannot let happen.

 

Very shortly, we will have to make the painful, yet necessary decision, to stand on the right side of "The New Berlin Wall." 

 

Child psychiatrist, Dr. Mark McDonald said this:  “This little girl was completely well and completely healthy until this pandemic began.  The pandemic, in my mind, is not so much a medical pandemic. It’s an emotional pandemic...  And this emotional pandemic is based on and centered around fear.”

 

Strength and honor!

Chief "Justice" John Roberts ("Conservative" "Catholic") Votes To Bury The First Amendment -- That Guarantees Our Right To Freely Practice Our Religion!!

Here we go again... 

Chief "justice" John Roberts of the U.S. "supreme court," voted -- AGAIN -- with the four ultra-liberals on the court, to help bury the First Amendment that guarantees our right -- given to us by God, not government -- to practice our religion.

You have read it right: John -- I have lost my mind, "conservative," "Catholic" -- Roberts sided with the court's four anti-Christ liberals to stifle those American citizens of the state of Nevada (and by extension, all Americans), telling those who want to worship God almighty, that they must adhere to the unlawful, illegal order that the governor of Nevada issued regarding the number of people that can gather in a church for services.  

But!  

Want to gamble in the casinos on Sunday in Nevada? No problem.  In fact, that's what Nevada is all about: gambling.  

You see, my dear readers, it all depends on the bottom line, that is, money, and not God-given common sense, or our duty to render to God, the things that are God's.

Be warned!  The First Amendment has been torn asunder -- again.  This time, however, it just might be the death knell to our cherished right to practice our faith without government interference.  

This is not an exaggeration...

There are nine unelected, rogue, blacked-robed "justices" that are appointed -- for life -- to legislate from the bench, to make unconstitutional decisions that affect the lives of all Americans...

Keep in mind, that there are three branches of government: the executive, the legislative, and the judicial branch.  But the separation of powers has long since past into history at the expense of our liberties and freedoms.  

We, as a nation, continue to sink into lawlessness, not only in the streets, but even more importantly, in and through the courts of our land.  

I urge all my readers to read the Constitution of the United States of America, and also the Declaration of Independence, especially the passage where the Founders admonish us to throw-off an abusive, despotic government, and start over again... That, by the way, is the main reason for the Second Amendment!!

Know your rights or you and I will lose those rights.  

Strength and honor!

Is Immorality And The Chaos We See In American Society Today, Related?

I'm not just talking about sexual immorality, but also the "immorality" of the mind and the inability to judge rightly.

It is a known fact, from history, and the Bible, that when a people turn from their Creator, and make unto themselves a craven image, and reject God, He will allow the operation of error to enter their intellect and their decision-making process.

What we also know from Biblical teaching, is that there will come a time when a person will think he is doing the will of God by mistreating or killing their brothers, sisters, or neighbors.

Are there examples of this?  Absolutely.  Take for example, the slaughter that takes place on a daily basis specifically directed at the pre-born by the likes of Murder, Inc., a.k.a., "planned parenthood."  

But such a killing machine is only one immoral entity that thinks they are doing a service to God -- more obviously, for filthy lucre's sake...  We know, however, what they are really doing is a "service" to Satan, their god...

Pre-born life has been so cheapened to the point of the innocent baby being -- legally -- torn apart and discarded as trash, or if the baby survives the attempt to kill her, we have read the horror stories of such babies being thrown into the trash and left to die cold, and alone.  And now it has been revealed that some of those precious, little lives are sold to the highest bidder!  These sick, heartless actions, by those heavily influenced by the demon, can no longer recognize evil from good; right from wrong.  

Let me continue to make the connection between the near-total destruction of the sanctity of life, and chaos of burning and looting we see in some of our major cities across the country.  The pretense for these "demonstrations" has been the death of a black American at the hands of some bad-apple police officers.  

But we know better...

The anarchists (Marxists), and the so-called "black lives matter," are nothing more than thugs and gangsters.  Their stated goal is to destroy the family unit, and the Republic.  These outlaws have become emboldened by weak-kneed, liberal politicians afraid of their own shadows, instructing their police to stand-down, allowing the beating and killing of the innocent, and the destruction of homes and businesses.  In effect, they are the real thugs and gangsters, in other words, they too, are the enemy of the law-abiding...

Here's the rest of the story...

Let's turn to the "Catholic" church, and see what is happening behind the closed doors, not only in the Vatican, but also in some of the major dioceses in America, as well as in most of the nations of the West...

The massive infiltration that took place several generations ago by Communists and sexual deviants, has now produced the evil fruit that we presently see, in the form of financial and moral corruption, and more importantly than that, is the betrayal of Christ, their Master...

Is it any wonder why the Marxists and other anarchists are enjoying such incredible success in tearing apart the American fabric?   Keep in mind, that as the church goes, so goes society, this is an obvious, undeniable fact...

 

And a majority of the blame falls on the shoulders of those false shepherds that are currently in control of the parallel church that carries the august handle of "Catholic," but their version of Catholicism is an allusion meant to subvert the true message and the mandate of Christ: to preach and baptize all nations.  Our Lord also told us that we would be persecuted for His namesake.  That prediction has come true in spades!

With the extreme weakness in the Church, coupled with what Pope Pius XII said of the Modernists reducing the Dogma of Christ's church, that outside of His earthly kingdom (the church militant), no one can enter His heavenly kingdom (the church triumphant), to a meaningless formula, is the main ingredient to the religious indifference we hear being preached from the pulpit in the new-order church... This denial started long before the satanically inspired Second Vatican Council, but culminated in a new regime aimed at killing-off the Traditional Latin Mass, and most importantly, the absolute belief in the Real Presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist.  Recent research shows that nearly 70 percent of those who claim to be Catholic, no longer believe that Our Lord is truly present after the priest consecrates the bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ...

Christ or chaos?  The answer is self-evident.

Strength and honor!
