Wesley: if you don’t believe in witchcraft, you blaspheme the Bible

“It is true likewise that the English in general, and indeed most of the men of learning in Europe, have given up all accounts of witches and apparitions as mere old wives’ fables. I am sorry for it, and I willingly take this opportunity of entering my solemn protest against this violent compliment which so many that believe the Bible pay to those who do not believe it. I owe them no such service. I take knowledge, these are at the bottom of the outcry which has been raised, and with such insolence spread through the land in direct opposition not only to the Bible, but to the suffrage of the wisest and best of men in all ages and nations. They well know (whether Christians know it or not) that the giving up witchcraft is in effect giving up the Bible; and they know, on the other hand, that if but one account of the intercourse of men with separate spirits be admitted, their whole structure (Deism, Atheism, Materialism) falls to the ground” (John Wesley, 25 May 1768).

 

Why ask?

“Life without enquiry is not the life for a man” (Socrates).

What the Arch-Philosopher is trying to say is that those who never research, never investigate, never question what they are bred and groomed to believe, are accidents of history, footnotes of life, puppets for aliens and alienists, playthings for the psychics and psychologists of the world. It is only with the most generous hyperbole imaginable that we declare souls that dismally timid to exist at all. Everything in the world around you is a wonder beckoning you: Please explore! The Internet is called the “Information Superhighway.” We men were born experimenters. But unless you’re a multi-billionaire, your schooling was probably a sick joke, a sad excuse for an “education,” barely superior (or perchance inferior) to just goofing off in the woods for free! But now it’s your move. It’s your turn. Your time is now. Don’t waste it!

State of Missouri Legislature Bans UN Agenda 21

Missouri Legislature Bans UN Agenda 21

Written by 

 

With a veto-proof majority, the Missouri legislature approved a popular bill protecting private property and due process rights by banning a deeply controversial United Nationssustainability” scheme known as UN Agenda 21. The legislation, SB 265, now heads to Democrat Governor Jay Nixon, who has not yet taken a public position on the issue.

The effort to ban Agenda 21 in Missouri, widely celebrated by activists from across the political spectrum, comes in the wake of similar moves to stop the UN plan across America. In Alabama, for example, lawmakers in both houses unanimously approved a law last year prohibiting the international “sustainable development” agenda within the state. Numerous other states are working to do the same, and multiple legislatures have adopted strongly worded resolutions blasting the program.

In Missouri, the legislation was approved 24 to 9 in the GOP-controlled Senate last month. The Republican-dominated state House of Representatives, meanwhile, approved the bill 131 to 42 on May 8, also with a slight veto-proof majority. It remains unclear whether the governor will try to stop the legislation, sign it, or simply do nothing and let it quietly become law, according to news reports.

With lawmakers able to override any potential veto, activists who supported the effort are cautiously optimistic that the state government, as well as city and county authorities, will soon be prohibited by law from implementing the controversial UN agenda in Missouri. Liberty-minded legislators, responding to strong grassroots pressure from constituents, also say the law is needed to protect the rights of citizens.

The two-page legislation is short and simple. “Neither the state of Missouri nor any political subdivision shall adopt or implement policy recommendations that deliberately or inadvertently infringe or restrict private property rights without due process, as may be required by policy recommendations originating in, or traceable to Agenda 21, adopted by the United Nations in 1992 at its Conference on Environment and Development,” the bill reads, defining political subdivisions as cities, counties, public-private partnerships, and other public entities.

If the legislation becomes law, the state government and all of its political subdivisions would also be barred from adopting or implementing any other “international law” or “ancillary plan of action” that contravenes the U.S. or Missouri constitutions. Lawmakers in the “Show-Me” State and around the country say such prohibitions are needed to protect citizens from unelected international bureaucrats seeking to impose their will on Americans — especially considering recent overt moves by the UN to broadly expand its powers on everything from guns and healthcare to the environment and welfare.

The Missouri bill ends with a ban on cooperating with UN allies involved in pushing the controversial agenda. “Since the United Nations has accredited and enlisted numerous nongovernmental and intergovernmental organizations to assist in the implementation of its policies relative to Agenda 21 around the world, the state of Missouri and all political subdivisions are prohibited from entering into any agreement with, expending any sum of money for, receiving funds from, contracting services from, or giving financial aid to those nongovernmental and intergovernmental organizations as defined in Agenda 21,” it states.

The widely criticized UN scheme, adopted by governments and dictatorships worldwide at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro more than two decades ago, has been marketed as a way to make humanity more “sustainable.” According to UN documents, however, Agenda 21 essentially seeks to restructure human civilization under the guise of environmentalism. Even human thought is in the crosshairs, official reports show.

While the UN plot has not been ratified by the U.S. Senate as required by the Constitution, it has been quietly creeping into states and local communities with prodding and bribes from the federal executive branch. “Here in Arizona, Agenda 21 is slowly creeping into the state,” popular Arizona state Sen. Judy Burges, a Republican who sponsored similar legislation in her state, told The New American recently. “It has its tentacles in everything from the schools to local government all the way up to the state.”

Also key to foisting the agenda on communities are “non-governmental organizations” (NGOs), such as the Germany-based ICLEI, formerly known as the International Council of Local Environmental Initiatives. During an interview with The New American in Rio last June at the UN Conference on Sustainable Development, ICLEI President David Cadman said he did not understand opposition to Agenda 21 and did not believe state governments could ban it. If Missouri’s legislation becomes law, however, all state and local agencies will be barred from working with his controversial organization.

“This is truly a bill that’s going to help protect Missourians and their private property rights,” said Missouri Rep. Lyle Rowland, a Republican who sponsored the legislation. “Just because Agenda 21 hasn’t been approved by the federal government — there’s a lot of things that we get hit with that there hasn’t been any legislation passed on.” Numerous other lawmakers echoed those sentiments, saying it was important to defend the rights of citizens from unconstitutional assaults.

As has become typical in the increasingly fierce nationwide battle, some Democrat politicians opposed the bill, mostly citing bizarre arguments that revealed a profound and troubling ignorance of the entire subject. House Democrat Leader Jake Hummel, for example, apparently woefully uninformed about Agenda 21 and UN sustainability schemes, absurdly compared the effort to protect private property rights, due process, and state sovereignty with regulating extraterrestrials.

“Could we talk about space aliens coming down? That could happen,” he said, drawing a swift rebuke from better-educated legislators. “Do you think we should waste time on a mythical thing?” It was not immediately clear whether Rep. Hummel was unaware of the existence of Agenda 21, which is touted all over the UN’s websites, or was simply engaged in a strange attempt at humor or ridicule by feigning ignorance.

Of course, many Democrats have supported efforts to stop Agenda 21 — in Alabama, every lawmaker voted to support a similar bill. Still, some rabidly pro-UN, big government-supporting lawmakers have also resorted to childish jokes, suggesting either that the UN plan does not exist or that it is actually just a harmless “non-binding” agreement. The international body, however, actually offers a concise summary of the massive plan on its website that has sparked alarm among lawmakers and activists nationwide.

“Agenda 21 is a comprehensive plan of action to be taken globally, nationally and locally by organizations of the United Nations System, Governments, and Major Groups in every area in which human impacts (sic) on the environment,” the UN admits on its website. Even the relatively tame summary has sparked suspicions from analysts, who point out that virtually every aspect of human existence has some “impact” on the “environment.” The UN even claims, for example, that carbon dioxide — a gas exhaled by everyone on Earth and required for all plant life — is a “pollutant” in need of a global CO2 regulation regime.

If the latest legislation eventually becomes law, Missouri would be the second state after Alabama to protect private property, state sovereignty, individual liberties, and due process rights by officially banning the controversial UN program. Recent bids to ban the agenda in Arizona and Oklahoma almost succeeded, and multiple other states are working to adopt similar laws. In addition, numerous state and county governments have adopted powerful resolutions blasting Agenda 21 as a “socialist” and “communist” plot completely at odds with American values and constitutional self-government.

While the UN has found a determined ally in much of the establishment media and among some extremist Democrats, the effort to quash Agenda 21 is gaining momentum across America. The Republican Party officially opposes it, and even liberty-minded Democrats have joined the movement to protect private property and national sovereignty. Grassroots activists, who have largely led the effort to stop UN encroachments, said the legislation in Missouri was likely just a harbinger of more major victories to come.

The B.S. of America

Taking aside the fact that the Boy Scouts of America’s inner circle, the Order of the Arrow, was founded by a (heavily documented) Freemason, even taking aside Scouting’s Pagan ceremonies (in which counselors dress in loincloths and parade before the campers) whose performance is just part of the program at their “boy’s camps” (!), I think what may be the most disturbing thing about the Scouts is that they trained us in “preparedness” and “survival” but studiously avoided “survivalism.” That is, we were taught nothing about farming or anything that would lend itself toward peaceful independence or laissez-faire (i.e. hands-off, apart from the corrupted and corrupting affairs of state) sovereignty; they just wanted us to be Marines or perhaps even less ethical lethal operatives such as CIA spies. But what do you expect, after all, from an organization that calls itself Scouting, which essentially means Spying!

We willingly expose our youth to the most severe brainwashing; for my money, it’s all to eventually roll out a martial law police state with a fascist hegemony at the top and Marxist masses on the bottom. Just watch the organization be transformed as the U.S. Presidency (Rep or Dem, it’s indifferent) becomes more and more and more unconstitutional and tyrannical. The gays and atheists are in many respects weapons of mass distraction, red herrings to help us ignore the overall strategy. The aptly-abbreviated “B.S. of America” is too important to the globalists (who themselves go for the occasional “fairy camping trip”) for them to allow their fake little lobbyist henchmen to get at the Boy Scouts they way they’ve gotten to all the other organizations that stood up, or even spoke up, for decency.

What the Bohemian Grove means for you

Equation3The globalist cryptocrat usurpers worship Moloch the Owl. Their Islamo-Marxist views build from their earth-worship: Lex orandi, lex credendi (The law of prayer is the law of belief)! Their agenda rests on robbing all men (except a very few who agree with them and are royalty) of not only property but even more fundamentally of any connection to their inherited heavenly nature, their godlike dignity, twisting the Rule of Law into the rule of courts with their corporate, activist judges. They have moved the definition of terrorist away from person who explodes buildings (often C.I.A. patsies anyway!) and toward anyone with any sense of their own dignity or who questions anything done in the name of Holy Globalism. I can testify that I was indoctrinated with this during all of my schooling. As the Femi-Nazi habitless Pagan (or just trendy) Femi-Nuns (now you talk about your useful idiots!) who run the military-industrial complex’s programming system dumb down the Christian Faith, they fill the vacuum by subliminally insinuating Marxism and Deep Ecology, even falsifying data where necessary, just like their god Al Gore! Please stop being deceived by the pomp. Underneath it all, the New World Order (Novus Ordo) or New Age people and their Mohammedan, socialist and bankster (gang + banger?) friends are the only true terrorist organization I am aware of (CIA runs Al-Qaeda) because they hate manhood and thus mankind. COULD WE PLEASE HAVE THE PRESENCE OF MIND TO ERADICATE NATIONALISM (YES, THAT TOTALLY INCLUDES ZIONISM) BEFORE IT ERADICATES US?

“War on Moron…ism” Unit III. Men who aren’t men?

Being a man is difficult. And to make matters worse, in today’s world, with its globalism, it is openly despised. Be a man anyway. Speaking the truth to power and to pettiness is going to mark you for crucifixion. Speak the truth all the louder. Manhood is essential to humanity. It is a sublime, endangered element. The neat- and control-freaks, the modern Masonic pharaohs hate and envy true men. The work of just being a man is the most thankless work there is today. Only the noble souls will take it up, take up the cross of being virile and virtuous. Weakness and softness–even immorality–are routinely mistaken for meekness and humbleness. “Loving your neighbor” today means “tolerating everybody” rather than anything that would suggest the strength and spontaneous self-sacrifice of the Good Samaritan! Men do what is right by God and by men. Men are not prissy “gentlemen” but would naturally recognize what is valid about the code of chivalry and help the weak before the strong. People who enunciate personal convictions are unhesitatingly considered arrogant. Words have lost their meaning. Everything is covered in slime now. “Freedom of religion” was replaced with “freedom of worship.” We have so much garbage in our bodies (cell phone radiation, GMO corn and soy products and Crisco/margarine petroleum/plastics), it’s a miracle we can function–albeit with many tragic miscarriages and stillbirths–and those who take pharmaceuticals (including steroids) to boot can’t even do that much!

“War on Moron…ism” Unit II. Religion, Chapt. 2. Duh! (if you will)

Bless your hearts, dear non-Orthodox Christians. Your Bible, upon which you claim to base your whole way of life (and, God help us all, your *ahem* “philosophies”), comes from Greece and points east from there, yet you insist that your culture is “Western” and the Greeks don’t “get” you. Such a fine line between imperial pride and slobbering stupidity, don’t you find? Let’s face the historical reality, which is as painfully obvious as it is painful: the Greeks gave the Italians Paganism, and the Italians invented Caesar. The Greeks gave the Italians Christianity, and the Italians invented the Pope. We gave you the Bible, and you turned it from the Word into a bunch of numbers. You could be mystical instead of imperial, then things would make a whole lot more sense for you. No matter how much your world-view flies in the face of history, you probably still won’t “get” the value of apophasis until you try it. Don’t be Eastern, just be Orthodox, I mean why won’t you get back to the Divine Liturgy of St. Gregory?

What drives the Citizen Disarmament Crusade?

According to Sigmund Freud (one Jewish celebrity who earned it), it is overwhelmingly the gun-grabbers, NOT THE GUN-OWNERS, who are sexually and emotionally stunted. (As if there was any real doubt anywhere on earth as to whether this was the case.)

“Freud associates retarded sexual and emotional development not with gun ownership, but with fear and loathing of weapons…[his] views provide no support for the penis theory of gun ownership” (Don B. Kates, Jr., “Guns, Murders, and the Constitution,” February 1990).

“War on Moron…ism” Unit II. Church History

Every time I hear someone translate “Ora et labora” as “Work and pray,” I want to do a Homer-on-Bart stranglehold. Because contrary to the Google search result numbers on this quote (!), prayer is always first, and modern Western “Christianity” has gotten it 180 degrees wrong. “Ora” means “pray,” and “labora” means “work.” Hence, “Ora et labora” means “Pray and work.” Which showcases how the Western/Occidental/Latin/Anglo/Celt/Gallic/Iberian/Germanic Church used to be, as exemplified by Holy Father Benedict of Nursia, best known of the Western Orthodox monastics! No wonder why some want Latin to stay dead in the mind of the average Catholic, right?

“War on Moron…ism”

Those who force the issue of what is “crazy,” “chemically imbalanced,” “abnormal,” “indicative of anger,” “too fast,” “arrogant” etc., you may be sure are not genuinely invested in equality, much less common sense; they are in fact–and many unconsciously–vying for a Communist high priesthood who shall determine what is “normal” and “moderate” (free translation: “banal,” “emasculated,” “least-common-denominator infantility”). A survival instinct wearing the deceptive mask of idealism. They will emphatically affirm they want all people and all nations to be equal, but their sweat betrays them: what they want is to make sure they stay where they are by aligning themselves with the program that is dragging the rest of humanity’s status inexorably downward. They identify with an élite occultist/mystical tyranny, and they do this by–many unconsciously ancipatorily and not following direct orders–labeling an ever-expanding lexicon of ideas as “politically incorrect,” “conspiratorial”–“too shrewd for common consumption.” Sociology–that is, hypocrisy elevated to the status of a field of science–is society’s undertaker. Yet who can blame them? Don’t get me wrong: I do blame them for being willing to sell out their neighbor. But I sure as hell don’t blame them for not wanting themselves or their children to be in the bottom 99.99% when they roll out full-blown Police State Communism. Which brings me to why we need to wage a “War on Moron…ism”!
