“What is perfection in love? Love your enemies in such a way that you would desire to make them your brothers … For so did He love, Who hanging on the Cross, said ‘Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.’” (Luke 23:34)
History
Why the Rich Feel So Poor
During a trip to Hong Kong, the billionaire duo decided to grab lunch at McDonald's. To Gates' amusement, when Buffett offered to pay, he pulled out a handful of coupons.
Warren Buffett is a billionaire. He gets his meaning from making or saving a dime. Most of the super-rich suffer from spiritual poverty.
Whether we are poor or rich, money holds us prisoner. The rich feel poor because of GREED. No matter how much they have, their identity ("feeling good, important, secure") was forged by a society dedicated to making and spending more money.
Money is supposed to free us from material concerns. Paradoxically it does the opposite. We become its prisoners.

Few people take a rational approach to money.
This would involve calculating how much money they need in relation to how much money they have, and how much money they make.
Rather, people tend to focus on their last 2%. Did their "net worth" increase or derease on a given day?
Depending on their tax bracket, this may involve their last $100, $1000, $10,000, $10 million or $10 billion. They ignore their big bank balance or stock portfolio. They always feel poor.
Money is supposed to free us from material concerns. Paradoxically it does the opposite. We become its prisoners.
We are satanically possessed. This means we identify with money rather than our Divine soul. We are money rather than God's personal representative on earth. The more money we have, the bigger and better we feel. These values are inculcated by our satanist-controlled mass media.
I am addressing the roughly 50% of my readers who, according to my Gab poll, have enough or more money than they need. I don't fault the other 50% who don't have enough or are broke for feeling oppressed.
Paradoxically the rich suffer from a spiritual impoverishment.
The more they identify with their money, the smaller they are. The more money they have, the smaller they are.
In the case of the Illuminati bankers, this inner poverty is toxic. They are a cancer that threatens to destroy mankind.
They want to "absorb" (their word) all the world's wealth leaving nothing to support humanity. They want it all!
We're indoctrinated to seek money. Within limits, money is a great motivator and measure.
I know someone who doesn't have to work. He works because he has nothing else to do, and it makes him feel productive and rewarded.
Another friend is independently wealthy from investments. He retired a couple of years ago but is returning to his old profession out of sheer boredom.
PERSONAL
I am as satanically possessed as anyone. I have had a lifelong struggle with greed. At age 74, I am just starting to master this demon.
Recently I did the calculation above and realized that I have more money than I'll ever spend.
My spending habits were formed during eight years as a graduate student living on roughly $10,000 per year. I really don't need or care about material things.
Paradoxically, this lack of concern for money did NOT stop me from developing a gambling addiction. When I didn't have much money, I didn't care about it. When I sold Scruples to Hasbro in 1986, I became a money manager and thought my game smarts would extend to the stock market. MISTAKE.
Scruples had been a labor of love. I did it because It was a workshop on everyday morality.
After my windfall, I became satanically possessed (i.e. GREED.) If someone asked how I was, I said, "I'll ask my broker."
We have to be on guard constantly because the voice in our head often is the devil!
Then another voice arises from our soul and says, "Cool it, you greedy moron."
You gamble with money you'll never spend. More or Less. What is the point? You don't even know your balance.
Surely, these human qualities represent our true riches.
Money is the lowest common denominator. People today are consumed by money. They are charmless.
YouTube is packed full of "how I got rich" stories.
While the world descends into Communist tyranny or faces a nuclear catastrophe, they act like money will save them.
For people who have enough, freedom lies in eschewing money. Just not caring about it.
Can you do that?
May 7 - Whites Blamed for Murders of Indigenous Women by their Men
(Jeremy Skibicki, an aborigine who admitted to killing four women is portrayed as a white nationalist!)
Commie Canada is trying to guilt white men for the murder of dozens of aboriginal women. In fact, digging up the landfill in search of their remains was a winning formula in the last Manitoba election. Most if not all of these murders are committed by indigenous men.
This fact is NEVER mentioned.
Too many Indigenous men abuse too many Indigenous women
"Only when the victims are Indigenous and the perpetrator non-Indigenous does it become a matter of public concern. If both the victims and perpetrator are Indigenous, it is stoically and silently accepted as a fact of life by both the Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities. Simply put, there is no outrage."
"Until Indigenous men are held to the same standards as everyone else, nothing will change."
-
Lest justice be imparted, there will be no jury. A Masonically appointed judge will decide.
CBC (Communist Broadcasting Corporation) reviewed posts on a Facebook page linked to Skibicki, dated before his arrest, which was rife with violent sentiments, as well as antisemitic, misogynistic and white supremacist material.

UN to vote on motion granting PA the rights of a state, Ambassador Erdan criticizes
Israel's UN Ambassador Gilad on expected vote in the General Assembly: If UN grants the PA the rights of a state de facto, the US must stop funding the UN.
The UN General Assembly is expected to vote on Friday on a proposal that will grant the Palestinian Authority (PA) the rights of a state de facto. The resolution would give the PA "the rights and privileges" to ensure its full and effective participation in the work of the General Assembly and other UN organs, "on equal footing with member nations." The PA's initiative follows its failure to achieve full UN membership, after the US vetoed its bid at the UN Security Council.

Canada introduces horrifying retroactive hate speech law that punishes past speech and imprisons people deemed "likely" to commit a hate crime
https://www.naturalnews.com/2024-05-06-canada-introduces-horrifying-retroactive-hate-speech-law.html
Canada is veering dangerously close to the type of complete control over people's thoughts and speech seen in places like North Korea with a new bill that aims to censor people on the pretense of protecting others from "hate speech" - and that's not even the most daunting part of it. What's even more horrifying is the fact that it is retroactive, which means that the things that people have said in the past can now be weaponized against them.
Makow- Religious Fanatics have Hijacked Israel (and the US)
Attacking Gaza has been Netanyahu's go-to plan
to counter domestic discontent for decades.
by Henry Makow PhD
Haim Bresheeth-Zabner's book "An Army Like No Other" (2019) is an eyeopener. It establishes that the current genocide is not an aberration but a continuation of a consistent policy of ethnic cleansing and genocide upon which the State of Israel was built.
Indeed, Benjamin Netanyahu had a policy of slaughtering Gazans whenever there was domestic unrest in Israel, such as the opposition to his "judicial reforms" prior to Oct 7, 2023. For example, in 2012, there were protests due to the high cost of living.
"Netanyahu (who was trailing badly in the polls) decided to give the public its favorite medicine, an attack on Gaza. The 2012 attack on Gaza put an end to the social protest and boosted Netanyahu to a leading position again. While the Israeli Jewish tribes are deeply divided on many issues, the "security" issue serves as the most effective social adhesive." (p.344)
Only an external threat can hold the country together.
While Israel gives lip service to a "two-state solution" its goal has always been to control Palestine from "the sea to the river" and beyond.
This is more true now that parties representing the 800,000 "settlers" in the West Bank have taken control of the government and the IDF.
Israel's treatment of the Palestinians has always been barbaric. "During the Christmas festivities of 2008, Israel moved into Gaza with enormous force. Almost 1500 Palestinians were killed, mostly civilians, of which more than 400 were children. The devastation in Gaza was more intense than in any IDF assault. Israel hit at the infrastructure--electricity, gas and water systems, fragile in Gaza at the best of times and already affected by the blockade Israel announced in 2006."
"In the following two incursions into Gaza during Nov. 2012 and July-August 2014, the already terrifying level of death and destruction was surpassed: the IDF killled 2310 Gazans in the summer of 2014 and wounded 10,626. Entire swaths of Gaz neighborhoods disappeared overnight, with more than 120,000 people losing their homes. The infrastructure, partially repaired since the last attack, lay in ruins." (322)
They did the same thing to Beirut in 1982. In fact, the doctrine of inflicting disproportionate destruction is named after "Dahiya" the district of Beirtut that Israel flattened. (207)
I was struck by the total barbarism and lack of common humanity displayed by the Israelis, people who regard themselves as civilized.
The West has signed on to a sinking ship. Israel gets 55% of all US Military aid.
If you understand the fanaticism of Israel's leaders, you realize there is no hope for peace. The leadership comes from the most fanatic element of Israeli society, the settlers. The fastest growing population are the heredi or Orthodox Jews who contribute nothing but demand all kinds of subsidies and privileges. They support the expulsion or liquidation of Palestinians.
HB-Z explains that war is Israel's bread and butter. The IDF is the richest institution in the country. More than 20% of the population work for it or the military Industrial complex it fosters. They have created a society that "feeds on aggression, thriving by it." (198)
While the Zionists may pay lip service to compromise, there will be none. The only way to stop the genocide is to defeat Israel in combat.
I suspect that this is what Iran, Turkey and Russia are planning. This will result in the third Masonic Jewish world war.

Israel: Hamas 'Acceptance' Of Ceasefire Deal Is A Ruse
Update(1255ET): There are breaking reports from several Middle East outlets, including Al Jazeera and Al Arabiya that Hamas has accepted the ceasefire proposal of Egypt and Qatar.
Egypt offered a new proposal for a truce between Israel and Hamas in which some Israeli hostages would be released in exchange for Palestinian prisoners and a three-week cease-fire, in a bid to stave off an Israeli military offensive in the southern Gazan city of Rafah.
Israel, which helped create the proposal, according to Egyptian officials, would commit to entering longer-term discussions once Hamas releases a first group of 20 hostages over the truce period--a formulation designed to overcome the militant group's reluctance to release any hostages without any prospect of ending the war.

B'nai B'rith Mocked Freemasons for 'Joining Jewish Plot'
left. Pope Benedict and the future Pope Francis in Masonic (thumb on knuckle) grip.
Jewish Masonry has now completely subverted the Catholic Church.
In 1936, two Catholic newspapers published excerpts from speeches given at a B'nai Brith conclave in Paris. The speeches expressed contempt for Freemasons' gullibility, cravenness, and venality.
"And the Gentiles, in their stupidity, have proved easier dupes than we expected them to be. One would expect more intelligence and more practical common sense, but they are no better than a herd of sheep. Let them graze in our fields till they become fat enough to be worthy of being immolated to our future King of the World..."
Formerly - Catholics Unveiled Masonic Jewish Plot in 1936
Secret Jewish Plot Unveiled by the Catholic Gazette of England
In the London Catholic Gazette of February 1936, a sensational article was published under the heading: "The Jewish Peril and the Catholic Church".
The monthly organ of the Catholic Missionary Society of England was quoting speeches delivered in a series of secret Jewish meetings in Paris.
A few weeks later, the Parisian weekly "Le Reveil du Peuple" published a similar account, adding that the statements had been made at a recent convention of the B'nai B'rith (secret Masonic order in which no Gentile is admitted) held in Paris.
The article from the "Catholic Gazette" read as follows:
"THE JEWISH PERIL AND THE CATHOLIC CHURCH"
--------
"As long as there remains among the Gentiles any moral conception of the social order, and until all faith, patriotism and dignity are uprooted, our reign over the world shall not come.
"We have already fulfilled part of our work, but we cannot yet claim that the whole of our work is done. We have still a long way to go before we can overthrow our main opponent: the Catholic Church...
"We must always bear in mind that the Catholic Church is the only institution which has stood, and which will, as long as it remains in existence, stand in our way. The Catholic Church, with her methodical work and her edifying and moral teachings, will always keep her children in such a state of mind, as to make them too self-respecting to yield to our domination, and to bow before our future King of Israel...
"That is why we have been striving to discover the best way of shaking the Catholic Church to her very foundations. We have spread the spirit of revolt and false liberalism among the nations of the Gentiles so as to persuade them away from their faith and even to make them ashamed of professing the precepts of their Religion and obeying the Commandments of their Church. We have brought many of them to boast of being atheists, and more than that, to glory in being descendants of the ape! We have given them new theories, impossible of realization, such as Communism, Anarchism, and Socialism, which are now serving our purpose...The stupid Gentiles have accepted them with the greatest enthusiasm, without realizing that those theories are ours and that they constitute our most powerful instrument against themselves...
GENTILES BUILDING THEIR OWN JAILS
"We have blackened the Catholic Church with the most ignominious calumnies, we have stained her history and disgraced even her noblest activities. We have imputed to her the wrongs of her enemies, and thus brought these latter to stand more closely by our side... So much so, that we are now witnessing to our greatest satisfaction, rebellions against the Church in several countries... We have turned her clergy into objects of hatred and ridicule, we have subjected them to the contempt of the crowd... We have caused the practice of the Catholic religion to be considered out of date and a mere waste of time..
.
"And the Gentiles, in their stupidity, have proved easier dupes than we expected them to be. One would expect more intelligence and more practical common sense, but they are no better than a herd of sheep. Let them graze in our fields till they become fat enough to be worthy of being immolated to our future King of the World...
"We have founded many secret associations, which all work for our purpose, under our orders and our direction. We have made it an honour, a great honour, for the Gentiles to join us in our organizations, which are, thanks to our gold, flourishing now more than ever. Yet it remains our secret that those Gentiles who betray their own and most precious interests, by joining us in our plot should never know that these associations are of our creation and that they serve our purpose...
"One of the many triumphs of our Freemasonry is that those Gentiles who become members of our Lodges, should never suspect that we are using them to build their own jails, upon whose terraces we shall erect the throne of our Universal King of Israel; and should never know that we are commanding them to forge the chains of their own servility to our future King of the World.
INFILTRATION
"So far, we have considered our strategy in our attacks upon the Catholic Church from the outside. But this is not all. Let us now explain how we have gone further in our work, to hasten the ruin of the Catholic Church, and how we have penetrated into her most intimate circles, and brought even some of her Clergy to become pioneers of our cause.
"Apart altogether from the influence of our philosophy, we have taken other steps to secure a breach in the Catholic Church. Let me explain how this has been done.
"We have induced some of our children to join the Catholic body, with the explicit intimation that they should work in a still more efficient way for the disintegration of the Catholic Church, by creating scandals within her. We have thus followed the advice of our Prince of the Jews, who so wisely said: 'Let some of your children become canons, so that they may destroy the Church'. Unfortunately, not all among the 'convert' Jews have proved faithful to their mission. Many of them have even betrayed us! But, on the other hand, others have kept their promise and honored their word. Thus the counsel of our Elders has proved successful.
REVOLUTION
"We are the Fathers of all Revolutions - even of those which sometimes happen to turn against us. We are the supreme Masters of Peace and War. We can boast of being the Creators of the REFORMATION! Calvin was one of our Children; he was of Jewish descent, and was entrusted by Jewish authority and encouraged with Jewish finance to draft his scheme in the Reformation.
"Martin Luther yielded to the influence of his Jewish friends, and again, by Jewish authority and with Jewish finance, his plot against the Catholic Church met with success...
"Thanks to our propaganda, to our theories of Liberalism and to our misrepresentations of Freedom, the minds of many among the Gentiles were ready to welcome the Reformation. They separated from the Church to fall into our snare. And thus the Catholic Church has been very sensibly weakened, and her authority over the Kings of the Gentiles has been reduced almost to naught.
.
"We are grateful to Protestants for their loyalty to our wishes - although most of them are, in the sincerity of their faith, unaware of their loyalty to us. We are grateful to them for the wonderful help they are giving us in our fight against the stronghold of Christian Civilization and in our preparations for the advent of our supremacy over the whole world and over the Kingdoms of the Gentiles.
"So far we have succeeded in overthrowing most of the Thrones of Europe. The rest will follow in the near future. Russia has already worshiped our rule, France, with her Masonic Government, is under our thumb. England, in her dependence upon our finance, is under our heel; and in her Protestantism is our hope for the destruction of the Catholic Church. Spain and Mexico are but toys in our hands. And many other countries, including the U.S.A., have already fallen before our scheming.
CHURCH WAS LAST BASTION
"But the Catholic Church is still alive..
.
"We must destroy her without the least delay and without the slightest mercy. Most of the Press in the world is under our Control; let us therefore encourage in a still more violent way the hatred of the world against the Catholic Church. Let us intensify our activities in poisoning the morality of the Gentiles. Let us spread the spirit of revolution in the minds of the people. They must be made to despise Patriotism and the love of their family, to consider their faith as a humbug, their obedience to their Church as a degrading servility, so that they may become deaf to the appeal of the Church and blind to her warnings against us. Let us, above all, make it impossible for Christians outside the Catholic Church to be reunited with that Church, or for non-Christians to join that Church; otherwise, the greatest obstruction to our domination will be strengthened and all our work undone. Our plot will be unveiled, the Gentiles will turn against us, in the spirit of revenge, and our domination over them will never be realized.
"Let us remember that as long as there still remain active enemies of the Catholic Church, we may hope to become Masters of the World... And let us remember always that the future Jewish King will never reign in the world before the Pope in Rome is dethroned, as well as all the other reigning monarchs of the Gentiles upon earth."

We are grateful to them for the wonderful help they are giving us in our fight against the stronghold of Christian Civilization and in our preparations for the advent of our supremacy over the whole world and over the Kingdoms of the Gentiles.
"So far we have succeeded in overthrowing most of the Thrones of Europe. The rest will follow in the near future. Russia has already worshiped our rule, France, with her Masonic Government, is under our thumb. England, in her dependence upon our finance, is under our heel; and in her Protestantism is our hope for the destruction of the Catholic Church. Spain and Mexico are but toys in our hands. And many other countries, including the U.S.A., have already fallen before our scheming.
CHURCH WAS LAST BASTION
"But the Catholic Church is still alive..
.
"We must destroy her without the least delay and without the slightest mercy. Most of the Press in the world is under our Control; let us therefore encourage in a still more violent way the hatred of the world against the Catholic Church. Let us intensify our activities in poisoning the morality of the Gentiles. Let us spread the spirit of revolution in the minds of the people. They must be made to despise Patriotism and the love of their family, to consider their faith as a humbug, their obedience to their Church as a degrading servility, so that they may become deaf to the appeal of the Church and blind to her warnings against us. Let us, above all, make it impossible for Christians outside the Catholic Church to be reunited with that Church, or for non-Christians to join that Church; otherwise, the greatest obstruction to our domination will be strengthened and all our work undone. Our plot will be unveiled, the Gentiles will turn against us, in the spirit of revenge, and our domination over them will never be realized.
"Let us remember that as long as there still remain active enemies of the Catholic Church, we may hope to become Masters of the World... And let us remember always that the future Jewish King will never reign in the world before the Pope in Rome is dethroned, as well as all the other reigning monarchs of the Gentiles upon earth."

Hamas attack only makes sense as a pretext for longstanding Israeli policy of ethnic cleansing.
The October 7, 2023 "Hamas" Attack was an Israeli False Flag Attack
The entire Israeli pretext to carry out the ongoing Gaza genocide was based on a well-planned and highly calculated false flag terror attack designed to evoke immediate and intense sympathy from the world community of nations.
"According to the official story, during a massive rocket barrage by Hamas, thousands of Hamas terrorists penetrated the most secure, most well-guarded, most technologically-advanced border wall in the world, without any real Israeli military response. Then these terrorists rampaged through Israel for the next 7-8 hours before Israel's military finally got around to fighting back (there are reports that Netanyahu ordered the military to stand down for seven hours). We are told that this attack took Israel's world-reknown intelligence agencies completely by surprise. Does that really seem plausible?"

73CE - 1000 Jews committed suicide rather than be captured. According to the Sampson Doctrine, Zionists will take us with them.
The Zionist Psychosis- Israel's Masada Complex
"One political scientist has referred to this as a "Masada complex," in which the Israeli public imagines itself to be a besieged people facing death, with no option but resistance even to the point of suicide. Indeed, Israeli youth for generations went on pilgrimages to Masada, as part of the country's collective memory of Jewish historical resistance. Generational Holocaust trauma and victimhood are socialized and collectivized in Israel. Perpetual sensitivity to the possibility of Jewish genocide has led to a militaristic society in which the IDF and the political elite are intertwined. For Israelis, statecraft is a redemptive project as much as it is an institutional one, aimed at restoring agency and political self-awareness to the Jewish people, while geopolitics carry a perpetual awareness of the apocalypse. The upshot of all this is a "security concept" fixated on overwhelming military power and anxious about the very survival of the Jewish people."

Are Jews The Israelites Of The Bible?
Ashkenazic (and Sephardic) Jews are themselves the Gentiles that many rabbis warn their congregations not to marry. To further the re-branding, they also call themselves Semites or Shemites when they're JAPHETITES, which means they're not Hebrews either. This re-branding is much like the way most of them - if not the majority of them - keep changing their last names every time they settle in a new country. The reason is simple and quite pragmatic. It's a survival mechanism.

Anti-Semitism Is A trick? Oh Dear!
However, when one wakes up from the media's induced stupor, one realizes that Jews are themselves the victimizers of the world (see addendum below) who camouflage themselves as victims.
That's how they a) keep control of the Federal Reserve, and b) preserve the satanic state of Israel - the twin linchpins by which they subdue America, the world's greatest superpower: they wag all US financial institutions using the Fed's domination of the US money supply; while Israel's intelligence agency, the Mossad, spies on American politicians, blackmailing them with their dirty laundry at the same time that AIPAC continuously bribes them, thereby securing Jewish dominion over the US Dollar, the world's current reserve currency.

Top immunology expert warns that everyone who got COVID-19 jabs could die within a few years
Other leading experts have made similar warnings, with Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche, a world-class virologist, cautioning that a "massive tsunami" of "death" and "chaos" will hit the vaccinated population. He said that it could collapse hospitals and lead to economic, social and financial chaos.
Bossche believes that people's vaccine-compromised immune systems will lead to a slew of illnesses, and the surge of cancer diagnoses we are seeing now will give way to a more chronic phase that ends with "a hyper-acute phase, a huge, huge wave."
He explained: "The thing I want your audience to understand, what we will be facing in the hyper-acute Covid crisis that is imminent, is that we will have to build a completely new world..."
He appears to have no doubt that this is in the cards, stating: "It's very strange for me to make such statements, but I'm not hiding it because I'm two hundred percent convinced that it will happen."

"Oh, my people! They who guide you lead you astray." (Isaiah 3:12)
(revised from 2005 and 10/07/23)
By Henry Makow Ph.D.
The worst antisemites are Zionists who create antisemitism to dupe Jews into advancing the Illuminati bankers' plan for world government dictatorship.
In the past, I have argued that Zionism is a protection racket and conspiracy against Jews.
Before Zionists took over the US government, they took over the American Jewish community and made it their instrument.
They have suppressed the normal cultural/spiritual/political aspirations of US Jews and drafted them to their pernicious cause.
Henry Hurwitz's Menorah Journal and Menorah Societies were an attempt by American Jewry to see itself culturally and spiritually as an end in itself, rather than a support system for the "Jewish homeland." Zionists suppressed this free and democratic group, in the same way as they have deprived Americans of their political and cultural freedom.
THE MENORAH SOCIETY
Henry Hurwitz started the first Menorah Society at Harvard University in 1906 and its journal The Menorah Journal in 1915. The Menorah movement stood "for the study and advancement of Jewish culture and ideals in America."
By the end of the First World War, the movement had expanded to include the Intercollegiate Menorah Association, Summer School, Education Conference and Board of Lecturers.
Essentially the movement fostered non-dogmatic, non-political study of Jewish history, spirit and culture. It was open to different points of view and initially received support from the central bankers. But when Hurwitz insisted that Judaism had nothing to do with Zionism, and Jews ought to feel perfectly at home in America, the bankers froze the Menorah movement's Jewish community funding.
In 1958, Hurwitz wrote a friend, "We have had more than one coy proposal from this and that wealthy organization to take us over. Our financial problems would then be solved. And our freedom--that is, our true life--dissolved." (Menuhin, The Decadence of Judaism in Our Time, 1965. p.366)
In the Autumn-Winter 1959 issue of the Menorah Journal, Hurwitz describes the effect of "bigotry" i.e. Zionist banker control of organized Jewry.
"This bigotry strikes beyond one old established independent organization and its magazine, which have perhaps rendered some service to Judaism through more than half a century.
"This bigotry poisons the air of Jewish communal life in America. It tries to suppress...the basic American principles of free speech and free press. It penalizes honest analysis [of those] who control the Jewish public tax-exempt philanthropic funds, and hence have the power to enrich favorite organizations, while starving others that do not bend the knees...Thus, they actually hinder here a rational long-view consideration of the best interests of the people of Israel themselves.
" Moreover, as is well known, a very large proportion of the supposedly voluntary philanthropic donations are extracted from business and professional men on threats of punitive economic and social sanctions. This must be described as what it is--a species of terrorism. Such terrorism has become a most effective technique in large Jewish fundraising." (Menuhin, p. 367)
Unfortunately, the Menorah movement died with its founder in 1961. Its work was partly continued by the American Council for Judaism, under its dynamic founder Rabbi Elmer Berger (1908-1996.)
(l. Menuhin's son is the famous violinist, Jehudi Menuhin.)
In 1965, Moshe Menuhin, left, characterized American Jewish life in the following terms:
"Today in America, Jewish culture and even Jewish religion has degenerated into 'Jewish' nationalism, and Jewish philanthropists, Jewish schools, Jewish segregated services, have been all subverted (with a few noble exceptions) into serving...the upbuilding of the 'Jewish homeland'...(468)
(A measure of this: Moshe Menuhin had to self-publish his book.)
CONSEQUENCES
My guess is that American Jewry is about evenly divided: half is alienated from all things Jewish; half is under the control of organized Jewry, i.e. the central banking cartel.
This cartel, synonymous with the name Rothschild, is behind all major wars and depressions of the past 300 years, behind Communism, Fascism and the Holocaust, behind 9-11 and the bogus war on terror. Nothing in this world happens without money and they control government credit.
They need to enslave us in order to protect this world monopoly. Their goal is to remake mankind into a slave race by destroying the basis of our humanity: nationhood, religion (God), race and family.
This enemy sits at the heart of our political, financial and cultural life. It has co-opted all groups in the same way as it has co-opted Jews. However, organized Jewry is leading the assault on our freedom.
They are the real antisemites. They have sacrificed Jews to their agenda before (Communism, Nazism, Zionism) and will do so again. All Jews will be blamed for the New World Order, even though half are indifferent, and the other half are willing dupes.

Proof of Zionist-Nazi Collaboration
--- Eichmann told another story of his dealings with the Zionist Dr. Rudolf Kastner, which ultimately resulted in the deaths of countless assimilated Hungarian Jews, and the survival of the fittest Zionist Jews for Israel, Jews who were Kastner's friends. Eichmann stated, inter alia,
"As a matter of fact, there was a very strong similarity between our attitudes in the SS and the viewpoint of these immensely idealistic Zionist leaders who were fighting what might by their last battle. As I told Kastner: 'We, too, are idealists and we, too, had to sacrifice our own blood before we came to power.' I believe that Kastner would have sacrificed a thousand or a hundred thousand of his blood to achieve his political goal. He was not interested in old Jews or those who had become assimilated into Hungarian society.
But he was incredibly persistent in trying to save biologically valuable Jewish blood--that is, human material that was capable of reproduction and hard work. 'You can have the others,' he would say, 'but let me have this group here.' And because Kastner rendered us a great service by helping keep the deportation camps peaceful, I would let his groups escape. After all, I was not concerned with small groups of a thousand or so Jews."--A. Eichmann, "Eichmann Tells His Own Damning Story", Life Magazine, Volume 49, Number 22, (28 November 1960), pp. 19-25, 101-112; and "Eichmann's Own Story: Part II", Life Magazine, (5 December 1960), pp. 146-161; at 146.
Hannah Arendt wrote in her book Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil, "Of greater importance for Eichmann were the emissaries from Palestine, who would approach the Gestapo and the S.S. on their own initiative, without taking orders from either the German Zionists or the Jewish Agency for Palestine. They came in order to enlist help for the illegal immigration of Jews into British-ruled Palestine, and both the Gestapo and the S.S. were helpful. They negotiated with Eichmann in Vienna, and they reported that he was 'polite,' 'not the shouting type,' and that he even provided them with farms and facilities for setting up vocational training camps for prospective immigrants. ('On one occasion, he expelled a group of nuns from a convent to provide a training farm for young Jews,' and on another 'a special train [was made available] and Nazi officials accompanied' a group of emigrants, ostensibly headed for Zionist training farms in Yugoslavia, to see them safely across the border.)

Related -- Rothschilds Keep Jews Mental Prisoners
New First Comment from Dan Butler:
A question, would you say that Hollywood and television's persistent Holocaust and other persecuted Jews narratives are aimed just as much at fostering Jewish paranoia as it is for sustaining European guilt and American sympathy?
When I was in college in Illinois, a Jewish student got an acceptance letter to teach at a college in Georgia. He asked me, "you grew up in the south. Will the KKK burn a cross on my yard?" He was serious. At the time I thought it was just funny, but now I wish I'd asked him what stories he'd been told to make him afraid of travelling south of the Mason Dixon line.
It seems to me television, some movies, and all magazines contain a lot of propaganda directed at keeping Jews herded inside the proverbial Pale. Much of it is fear based and just as transparent as the phony 'race war' propaganda that's been aimed at blacks and whites the last few years.
On the other hand, the Israeli government tipped it's hand in 2011 with a commercial in Hebrew directed at young Israelis in college in the United States, urging them not to marry American Jews. The ad was pulled due to complaints from American Jewish groups. Israel gov removes ads

THE NUCLEAR F-35 MYSTERY - FINAL UPDATE
1. It's now fully established that The Information was confirmed independently by the intel of a Big Power.
2. The Information was NOT relayed by Russia.
3. It then reached a third nation - and from that to me.
4. The players involved are not backing down an inch from The Information.
5. I was privately provided with two examples of the accuracy of recent intel by the Big Power on two separate big developments in West Asia .
6. The source that contacted me notes that "sometimes, after news has entered the media space, there is no choice but not to provide clarification."
Additionally, a senior Russian diplomat who does not know the Information, said the following:
1. "That is entirely possible."
2. It shouldn't have been revealed to the public.
3. "If this is true, then all sides will be determined to cover it up."
One unanswered question for me is: Why did the Big Power source relay The Information to an intel agency from another nation? I tend to believe this was to erase its tracks in the chain. Particularly because my initial source has now revealed that the Big Power gained their intelligence firsthand - and that it was not transmitted to them by the Russians, Iranians or other direct parties to the hot war in West Asia.
To sum it all up, via the source who originally received The Information: "If anyone should be accused of fabrication it is the 'source'; but in this case the 'source' remains confident of the accuracy."
I rest my case. I published raw intel the way I received it. It's up to a wider audience to judge whether - and how - The Information connects with new developments occurring at breakneck speed, and part of a New Paradigm.

Although Hippocrates, reportedly the founder of Western medicine, said, "Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food", medical schools now provide almost no information about nutrition.
In the Shadow of Flexner is a groundbreaking documentary film by Justin Smith that exposes the century-old corruption that forever altered the trajectory of healthcare. At the heart of this riveting narrative lies the Flexner Report, a document published in 1910, the insidious purpose of which was to eradicate all traces of natural medicine from the educational landscape. In an era when conventional doctors faced public skepticism, the Flexner Report became the tool of choice for industrial capitalists seeking to monopolize medicine.

Caitlin Johnstone--The 'Antisemitism' Moral Panic Has Officially Jumped The Shark
Antiwar's Dave DeCamp reports: "The House on Wednesday overwhelmingly passed a bill that conflates criticism of the modern state of Israel with antisemitism and will mandate that definition be used by the Department of Education when enforcing federal anti-discrimination laws.
"The bill could be used to crack down on pro-Palestine protesters at college campuses across the country, who have been falsely labeled 'antisemitic' despite Jewish students participating in the protests.
"The legislation adopts the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's (IHRA) definition of antisemitism, which lists 'drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis' as an example of antisemitism.
"The IHRA also defines antisemitism as applying 'double standards' to Israel by 'requiring of it a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation' and 'denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination' by 'claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor.'"

The Illuminati's Secret Weapon - Sin
Updated from 2-3-2023
by Henry Makow PhD
An Illuminati member sent shivers down my spine when he echoed my words.
In an article "Entertained to Death," posted in December, 2015, I said people today are "externalized." We seek happiness outside of our true selves, i.e. our soul.
Forget about the Patriot Act and the NSA. Our enslavement takes a much more subtle and pervasive form. Truly, we are unconscious victims of a diabolical spiritual attack.
ENTERTAINED TO DEATH
First my description.
We are "feel-good" addicts. We need a cocktail of money, sex, knowledge, drugs, purchases, hits, "likes," food, love, praise, etc. If we make our quota, ego is happy. We had a good day.
In my article, I compared our souls to the light bulb in a slide projector. We covet the slideshow displayed on a screen. "Wanting" them makes us miserable. We may not get them; or even when we do, we find they are a chimera. The mind is a prison where the soul is tortured by thoughts. The key is to not identify with the slides ("thoughts") but with the light.
There is no mystery about religion. It is simply obeying God's voice speaking through the soul. This is not an option. We cannot thrive and find happiness without obeying His directives. "Sin" is being enslaved to material desire instead.
"The Lord is my Shepherd and I shall not Want."
If we don't want to be beggars, we must say, "I have enough" and renounce the pursuit of money. Marriage is the way to say I have "enough" when it comes to sex.
Instead of arranging our beggar bowls each day, we must serve God instead. Define what that means for you. For me, it means dedicating every thought and deed to Him. It means dedicating my life to a spiritual ideal, like Truth, Beauty, Love (service, family) or Justice. It means praising and thanking God for the gift of life and the miracle of creation. (I don't pretend to have mastered this.)
It means shutting out the world and vibrating according to an inner voice. God is Consciousness, a spiritual dimension we enter only by rededicating and purifying ourselves.
This is the basis of all true religions. The scary thing is that the Illuminati understand this and deliberately sabotage this process (the devil's work.)
ENTERTAINED TO DEATH BY THE ILLUMINATI
Harold Rosenthal was an Illuminati Jewish insider. He worked for NewYork Senator Jacob Javits. (See my Protocols of Zion Updated.)
In an 1976 "tell all" interview, he said the following:
(Left, "Masters of Sex" promotes Cabalist gospel that sex and relationships are the meaning of life.)
"Your people never realize that we offer them only worthless baubles that cannot bring fulfillment. They procure one and consume it and are not filled. We present another. We have an infinite number of outward distractions, to the extent that life cannot again turn inward to find its definite fulfillment. You have become addicted to our medicine through which we have become your absolute masters..."
We have converted the people to our philosophy of getting and acquiring so that they will never be satisfied. A dissatisfied people are pawns in our game of world conquest. Thus, they are always seeking and never able to find satisfaction. The very moment they seek happiness outside themselves, they become our willing servants."
The Illuminati Jews display a deep spiritual understanding. If we had a first-hand connection to God, we would need nothing else. Because we don't, they can mystify and sell us baubles to fill the vacuum- sex, romantic love, art, knowledge, toys etc.
They suffer from this ailment themselves. Rosenthal gave this revealing interview, which ultimately cost him his life, to get some "gambling money."
(Jonah Hill in The Wolf of Wall Street which celebrates greed, sex and dishonesty. Uses the f-word three times per minute.)
Most of us see sin in terms of human frailty. We don't realize that society is organized by Satanists to entrap us. It is a giant behaviour modification laboratory. The goal is to enslave us mentally and spiritually, and ultimately physically.
Wherever something degrades us and distracts from Truth, we will find Illuminati Jews and Masons pulling the levers: War. Sexual liberation. Pornography. The stock market. Sexual deviance. Movies and TV preaching the liberal gospel.
Wherever we find ugliness being promoted as beautiful, lies promoted as truth, evil promoted as goodness, and sickness promoted as health, we will find these people. Wherever evil is advocated as "tolerance", and self-discipline is condemned as "repression", you will find these satanists who preach "do as thou wilt."
Wherever we find ugliness being promoted as beautiful, lies promoted as truth, evil promoted as goodness, and sickness promoted as health, we will find these people. Wherever evil is advocated as "tolerance", and self-discipline is condemned as "repression", you will find these satanists who preach "do as thou wilt."
Forgive them father, for they know not what they do.
We cannot afford to be naive about the world in which we live. At the same time, we can still find true happiness personally. Belief in God is really a belief in oneself. Not because we are God, which is ridiculous, but because we answer to no one but God. We live in the Spirit of God and need nothing else. That's why the illuminati have worked hard to displace God and become our master. Without the God connection our lioves are trivial.

May 2 - Zionists Move to Ban Christianity as "Anti Semitic"
Please send links and comments to hmakow@gmail.com
Christianity is antisemitic
Criticism of Israeli genocide also deemed "antisemitic"
The House vote was 320 to 91 with 70 Democrats and 21 Republicans voting against the bill. The GOP opposition largely came from the right flank of the conference. The bill would next need to be taken up by the Senate.
Andrew Torba, Founder of Gab--"The bill adopts the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's definition of "antisemitism" which includes the basic Biblical Truth that the Jews killed Jesus Christ as "classic antisemitism." The bill has raised serious concerns among Christians who believe that their First Amendment rights are being threatened. For example H.R. 6090 could potentially make it a crime for pastors to preach sermons that adhere to Biblical passages, of which there are many, which explicitly state that the Jews killed Jesus.
As a result, churches may become targets for Civil Rights Act discrimination lawsuits, leading to a wave of anti-Christian sentiment and the stifling of religious expression. This legislation follows just a few weeks after we learned, during Holy Week of all times, that saying "Christ is King" is "antisemitic" from many of the gatekeeping establishment voices on the right. It also follows a slew of similar "hate speech" legislation at the state level that is being passed by Republican governors in red states, including Ron DeSantis who flew to Israel to sign his.
Are you paying attention yet, Christian? Do you see what is happening here and what is at stake?
The New Testament provides ample evidence that the Jews killed Jesus. This is a basic core tenet of the passion story and thus a basic core tenet of our faith that we are required to affirm as Christians."

Mike Stone - Hidden Hand Guides College Demonstrations
There are pro-Palestine anti-genocide demonstrations on college campuses across America.
Although the cause is just, there is no question that these demonstrations are being helped along by George Soros et co.
Mike Stone thinks Donald Trump is behind them. I think Mike is out to lunch this time.
by Mike Stone
(henrymakow.com)
What we're seeing with the current college student protests is political street theater. It's very similar to the street theater we saw during the virus hoax.
Remember all of those people collapsing on the street in China?
Remember people fighting over toilet paper?
Remember people calling the police on their neighbors for sneezing? Remember all that?
Back then, just as now, almost none of the people who participated in the "pandemic" street theater were aware that they were being used. They thought everything happening around them was real.
Thus we had people donning face diapers and lining up for the kill shot "vaccine," thinking the entire time that they were doing the right thing. To this day, there are tens of millions of people who still believe that the phony pandemic was a real thing, that there was an actual virus going around killing people.
And no amount of facts, evidence, or plain common sense is going to change their minds. They'll go to their graves believing that what they saw on television was true. Indeed, many of them have already gone to their graves, thanks to the fake vaccine that killed them.
I'm not the only person who thinks we're being hornswoggled here. The 2nd Smartest Guy in the Room 2ndsmartestguyintheworld@substack.com says, "The anything but organic protests currently metastasizing across American college campuses is yet another example of the Ideological State Apparatus deploying ever more of their Hegelian Dialectic psyops across the most self-entitled, impressionable, and brainwashed demographic; namely, the useful idiot student."
Those are harsh words, but then he gets even harsher: "Combine the surge of illegal invaders, the imploding welfare scam, the worsening political crisis, the slow kill bioweapon "vaccine" poisoning of society at large, the Ponzi financial system and untenable debt supercycle, and what we are witnessing is the horror-show Cloward-Piven Strategy endgame on roids en route to the global Great Reset dystopia."
He criticizes the students relentlessly: "These students are literally being primed for a lifetime of debt-servitude to the State and their partners-in-crime like BlackRock and the Intelligence Industrial Complex; these people will be the early adopters of the AI-based X Everything App social credit score system which will grant them Universal Basic Income (UBI) and discharged college debt in the form of CBDC payments, but only if they obey the Statist mandates like being current on all "vaccinations," complying with their carbon footprint allocations, abiding by the latest groupthink psyop, remaining in their 15 Minute City zones, etc. & etc. At which point in the near future, protesting the latest psyop will certainly earn one some bonus CBDC credits."
I don't agree with that, as I find many of the student protesters to be far more intelligent than the average American. In fact, here's one example:
https://twitter.com/akmuhtadie/status/1783067231779279241?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw
Still, it's worth checking out his complete article. And if you really want to take a trip down the rabbit hole, look at what Miles Mathis has to say: http://mileswmathis.com/protest.pdf
He calls out both the student protests and the entire Hamas/Israeli war as nothing but fakery from beginning to end. That Americans are falling for such nonsense really says something about our country's intelligence level.
Nothing Happens on Its Own
I believe it was Mike King who first went public with the belief that nothing ever happens organically, that every time we see a "color revolution," a street protest, or any sort of mass uprising, it is always the result of a coordinated effort. An effort that is being led by a small handful of individuals.
Thus the students that are out protesting actually believe they are doing the right thing - and they are; it's never wrong to protest a genocide - however, they are unaware that they are being used to create a groundswell of energy against the Democratic Party. Their actions are being coordinated and carried out by a handful of "organizers."
I mentioned in my last piece that it wouldn't surprise me if we saw provocateurs embedded among the protesters causing violence in order to elicit a violent government response. Well, that's now starting to happen. It could be the next step in the scripted drama we're witnessing.
In the same way that the left organized and carried out the violent riots of 2020 (an election year) to try and destabilize the Trump presidency, the right is now doing the same thing (in an election year) to destabilize the fake Joe Biden presidency. Only while the 2020 riots were violent, today's protests are peaceful. At least they were, until the provocateurs were brought in.
It's this writer's opinion that the protests are actually being orchestrated by the Trump campaign, either by Trump himself, whom I maintain is our acting Commander in Chief, or by other factions who want to see him elected in 2024.
These actions are actually brilliant when you think about it. They are going to get all the braindead Evangelical "Christians" who grovel before the feet of Israel, AND the radical left, who are now super-pissed at the fake Joe Biden presidency, all voting for Trump in November.
And summer hasn't even started. You ain't seen nothing yet.

Netanyahu: Israel will enter Rafah with or without hostage deal
Mark Glenn--"Netanyahu and his cohorts-namely Smotrich and Ben Gvir-don't care about the hostages, never did, never will. As far as they are concerned, the longer they are gone the better, as it gives the Judaic warlords justification for the continued carnage they are inflicting on Gaza. Even more so, when these hostages die, either by being shot, bombed or starved deliberately by Israel, it can only enflame the Israeli public more, resulting not only in their support for the already-occurring genocide in Gaza, but as well, the demand for revenge later.

WEF promotes pedophilia
From Reader---you repeatedly mentioned a model of women sacrificing power for a man´s love. I believe this might be the universal blue print to make things work.
Accidentally in a comment section I found a hint to Ephesians 5:21:
21 „Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing[b] her by the washing with water through the word, 27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. 28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church-- 30 for we are members of his body. 31 "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh."[c] 32 This is a profound mystery--but I am talking about Christ and the church. 33 However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband."
Amazing to find your discovery also there.

In an unsettling sign of the times, this federally-insured bank was trading at 1-cent on Friday; down from 27-1/2 cents last September when we first reported on its dire condition.

Hamas considers Israeli offer - 40 day ceasefire, release of prisoners in exchange for hostages
https://www.theglobeandmail.com/world/article-israel-waiting-on-hamas-to-respond-to-proposed-halt-to-fighting-before/
But so far, there has been little sign of agreement on the most fundamental difference between the two sides, the Hamas demand that any deal must ensure a withdrawal of troops and a permanent end to the Israeli operation in Gaza.
"We can't tell our people the occupation will stay or the fight will resume after Israel regains its prisoners," said a Palestinian official from a group allied with Hamas. "Our people want this aggression to end."
For Netanyahu, any move is likely to be affected by divisions in his own cabinet between ministers pressing to bring home at least some of the 133 Israeli hostages left in Gaza, and hardliners insisting on the long-promised assault on remaining Hamas formations in the southern city of Rafah.
An incursion into Rafah will happen "with a deal or without a deal", Netanyahu said on Tuesday, adding that ending the war before reaching its objectives was "out of the question."

Why a Pope Instituted the Feast of Saint Joseph the Worker - The Unique History Every Catholic Should Know
Do you know the unique history behind Saint Joseph the Worker’s feast day?
This feast is celebrated by the Catholic Church each year on May 1. It is set apart as a celebration of the life and work of Saint Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus Christ.
The origins of this feast day can be traced back to the early 20th century.
Pope Pius XII instituted the feast of Saint Joseph the Worker in 1955 to coincide with International Workers’ Day, a day dedicated to the secular celebration of labor and workers’ rights.
However, the Holy Father recognized the misplaced role of work in society at the time. He believed there was a growing threat of communist and socialist ideals against the dignity of workers and family life.
The devotion to Saint Joseph as a worker dates back to the Middle Ages when Catholic theologians and writers began to emphasize his role as a model of humility, hard work, and dedication.
Saint Joseph was not only Jesus's foster father but also a carpenter by trade.
He worked tirelessly to provide for his family and taught Jesus the skills he needed to become a carpenter. He was a faithful and hardworking man, who lived a life of service to God and his family.
In the 19th century, the Catholic Church began to promote devotion to Saint Joseph the Worker, with Pope Leo XIII issuing an encyclical on the subject in 1889.
You can read the full encyclical on devotion to Saint Joseph here.
He emphasized the importance of Saint Joseph as a model of Christian living, stating that “Joseph became the guardian, the administrator, and the defender of the divine house whose chief he was.”
The feast day of Saint Joseph the Worker has become an important day for Catholics around the world.
This day celebrates the dignity of work and the contributions workers make to society. It is also a day to reflect on the example of Saint Joseph, who worked tirelessly to provide for his family and to serve God.
In addition to the feast day, numerous prayers are dedicated to Saint Joseph the Worker. The faithful often turn to his intercession in work-related matters, employment, and financial stability!
Here is a great prayer to Saint Joseph the Worker:
God our Father, Creator, and Ruler of the universe, in every age you call us to use and develop our gifts for the good of others.
With Saint Joseph as our guide, help us to do the work you have asked and come to the rewards you have promised. Please grant this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
“Let us love Jesus above all, let us love Mary as our mother; but then, how could we keep from loving Joseph, who was so intimately united to both Jesus and Mary? And how can we honor him better than by imitating his virtues? Now, what else did he do in all his life but contemplate, study, and adore Jesus, even in the midst of his daily labors? Behold, therefore, our model.” -Saint Madeleine Sophie BaratThe So-Called “New Natural Law Theory”
A Spanish version of this paper appears in: Miguel Ayuso Torres (ed.), ¿El derecho natural contra el derecho natural? Historia y balance de un problema (Madrid: Marcial Pons, 2024).
Introduction
The so-called “New Natural Law Theory” is a name applied to a certain attempt at recovering natural law theory in a form that would make it impervious to objections taken from Hume’s “is-ought problem.” The attempt was begun by Germain Grisez in 1965, and carried on by Grisez himself, John Finnis, Joseph Boyle, Robert P. George, and others.1 The theory began as a new interpretation of St Thomas Aquinas’s teaching on natural law, but it quickly diverged from St Thomas’s teaching on many particular conclusions. The name “New Natural Law Theory” seems to have been used first by critics of the theory.2 The theory has been influential in jurisprudence, political philosophy, moral theology, and the interpretation of Catholic Social Teaching. While it has had some influence among non-Catholics,3 its primary influence has been among Catholics.
The New Natural Law Theory has been found useful as a way of defending what I will call “neo-conservative” Catholicism. By the term “neo-conservative” I mean to signify writers who, in the decades following Vatican II, were concerned, on the one hand, with defending the objectivity of moral norms and the truth of the Church’s moral teachings on matters such as abortion, euthanasia, and contraception; but who, on the other hand, interpreted Vatican II as allowing for a rapprochement between the Church and classical liberalism on such matters as usury, free market economics, social contract democracy, the primacy of individual rights, the separation of Church and state, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and (in short) most of the ideas that had been condemned by the 19th-century Popes as “liberal errors.”4 Thus, a theory whose theoretical concern was in part reinterpreting the natural law in response to the moral epistemology of the Enlightenment ended in endorsing many of the particular political and juridical conclusions that originally stemmed from Enlightenment thought.
In this paper I offer a critique of the New Natural Law Theory from the perspective of the traditional Thomist understanding of natural law, and more fundamentally of the good to which natural law is directed. I will argue that New Natural Law Theory exaggerates the distinction between theoretical and practical reason. This exaggeration leads its proponents to a fundamental misunderstanding of the good. Counter-intuitively, their exaggeration of the distinction between speculative and practical truth leads them to have an overly abstract understanding of the good; they neglect the implications of Aristotle’s insight that while the truth is found primarily in the mind, the good is found primarily in things.5 They consider the good according to the mode of existence that it has in the mind. As a consequence of this, the proponents of the New Natural Law Theory misunderstand the way in which the good is most properly said to be universal or common. They tend to understand the universality of the good as a universality in predication (one name said of many things), rather than a universality of causation (one elevated cause of many effects below it).6 They thereby misunderstand the way in the which natural law is related to the good. They understand the first precept of the law, on which all the precepts of natural law are founded—“good is to be done and pursued, and evil is to be avoided”7—to refer to the universal predicate “good,” a name abstracted from particular goods and said of particular goods, rather than as referring the actual common good of all things, in which all other goods participate, and to which all goods are directed. The proponents of the New Natural Law Theory therefore deny that there is a hierarchy among the goods to which we are inclined by nature. This leads them to the astonishing opinion that God is not the complete end of human life. The denial of the hierarchy of goods also leads them to deny the primacy of the common good of a complete society (societas perfecta) over the private goods of individuals. They therefore also misunderstand the relation of the common good to individual rights. Instead of rights flowing from the common good by means of law (which is always directed to the common good), the proponents of the theory see rights as the foundation of law, and the common good as an instrumental good that secures rights to individuals. The proponents of the New Natural Law Theory therefore accept modern liberal errors on such rights as freedom of speech, freedom of religion, etc.
In Part I of this paper, I will give an outline of the New Natural Law Theory and show how the conclusions just mentioned follow from its principles. In Part II, I will explain the traditional Thomistic understanding of the good and the natural law and show how it grounds the rejection of liberal errors by the 19th-century popes.
Part I: Goodness, Law, and Right in the New Natural Law Theory
In 1965 Germain Grisez published an article that came to be seen as the beginning of the New Natural Law Theory. The article offered a new interpretation of Summa theologiæ Ia-IIae, q.94, a.2, in which St Thomas treats the question of whether the natural law contains only one precept or many. It will be useful to summarize St Thomas’s text before turning to Grisez’s interpretation.
St Thomas points to an analogy between speculative and practical reason. Just as speculative reason moves from self-evident, naturally known principles to conclusions, so practical reason moves from self-evident, naturally known principles to its conclusions. Reason first apprehends being, and from this first apprehension, the first principle of speculative reason is derived: the principle of contradiction. This principle is based on the understanding of the opposition of being and non-being. What is is and cannot not be. Or, in other words, the same cannot be affirmed and denied of the same thing at the same time. All other self-evident principles of speculative reasoning are based on this first principle and would be meaningless without it. For example, it is self-evident that a whole is greater than any one of its parts. But this proposition would be meaningless if the same could be affirmed and denied of the same, for then the whole could be both greater and not greater than one of its parts.
In practical reasoning, i.e. reasoning directed to action, St Thomas argues the first thing apprehended is the good, that which all seek after, because “every agent acts for an end under the aspect of good.” From this the first principle of practical reasoning follows: “good is to be done and pursued, and evil is to be avoided.” All other self-evident principles of practical reason, St Thomas argues, are based on this first principle and would be meaningless without it.
Nevertheless, St Thomas goes on to argue there are many precepts of the natural law, because man is inclined (slanted) by nature to many different kinds of goods that perfect or complete him. Human reason apprehends such goods as ends on account of the first principle that the good is to be done and pursued. Nevertheless, the goodness of those ends is self-evident and naturally known through the natural inclinations in man. Thomas shows how various levels of nature in man result in various kinds of inclinations. The first level is what man has in common with all beings. As a being, a substance, man is inclined like all substances to conserve his being, to keep on existing. And because the being of living things is life, natural law commands man to preserve his life. The second level has more particularly to do with man’s being as an animal, a sensitive being. In accordance with this level man is inclined to sexual intercourse and the rearing of young, and such things. The third level has to do with man’s specific nature as a rational being. According to this third level, man is inclined to specifically rational goods, and thus he is bound by natural law to shun ignorance and falsehood and, moreover, to avoid offenses contrary to rational sociability.
In his interpretation, Germain Grisez reads St Thomas as making a rigid distinction between speculative and practical reason. He takes Thomas here as having anticipated the famous “is-ought” problem raised by Hume:
The theory of law is permanently in danger of falling into the illusion that practical knowledge is merely theoretical knowledge plus force of will. […] [P]ractical reason really does not know in the same way that theoretical reason knows. For practical reason, to know is to prescribe. This is why I insisted so strongly that the first practical principle is not a theoretical truth. Once its real character as a precept is seen, there is less temptation to bolster the practical principle with will, and so to transform it into an imperative, in order to make it relevant to practice. Indeed, the addition of will to theoretical knowledge cannot make it practical. This point is precisely what Hume saw when he denied the possibility of deriving ought from is.8
Although practical reason does not know in the same way as speculative reason, nevertheless it still does know abstractly. This is seen in how Grisez understands the notion of “good” in the first precept of the law. At first, Grisez seems to indicate that “good” refers to the last end, the ultimate final cause: “The good of which practical reason prescribes the pursuit and performance…is the last end, for practical reason cannot direct the possible actions which are its objects without directing them to an end.”9 But it soon becomes clear that Grisez does not think the first precept orders reason to any actual good in things, rather “good” in the precept is merely a universal predicate, one name said of many particular goods. The good of the first precept is indeterminate. For Grisez the first precept does not actually prescribe any actions, but rather makes human actions possible by “determining that action will be for an end.”10 “Good” in the first principle does mean the actual final cause of human action, but rather signifies abstractly anything that man might choose as his final cause:
The will necessarily tends to a single ultimate end, but it does not necessarily tend to any definite good as an ultimate end. We may say that the will naturally desires happiness, but this is simply to say that man cannot but desire the attainment of that good, whatever it may be, for which he is acting as an ultimate end. The desire for happiness is simply the first principle of practical reason directing human action from within the will informed by reason. Because the specific last end is not determined for him by nature, man is able to make the basic commitment which orients his entire life.11
For Grisez there is therefore a “gap” between the first precept of law and the subsequent precepts of the natural law. Each of the subsequent precepts is in a sense a “first” precept; each of them is a self-evident ordering to some kind of good to which man is inclined. There is therefore no order between the other self-evident precepts of the natural law. They cannot be ordered by their proximity or distance from the true final end, because the first precept, at work in them, is not about the true final end. Rather, any of the goods of the other precepts, or any synthesis of them, can be taken by man as his final end. This is why proponents of the New Natural Law came to call such goods “basic goods.”12
One of the most startling consequences of the New Natural Law Theory’s denial of a hierarchy of ends is Germain Grisez’s thesis that God is not enough to satisfy the human heart. In a 2005 lecture entitled “The Restless Heart Blunder,” Grisez argued that St Augustine’s famous dictum that our hearts are restless until they rest in God was a blunder, because friendship with God is only one good among others. Therefore, he argues, the true end of human life is not God, but the Kingdom of God, which includes all human goods: “Strictly speaking, God is not the ultimate end toward which we should direct our lives. That end is God’s kingdom, which will be a wonderful communion of divine persons, human persons, and other created persons. Every member of the kingdom will be richly fulfilled in respect to all human goods, including friendship with God.”13 This opinion is so offensive to pious ears that it scarcely needs refutation. I will, however, show why it is wrong in Part II. I believe this to be the most pernicious error of the New Natural Law Theory.
The denial of the hierarchy of goods leads proponents of the New Natural Law Theory to deny the primacy of the political common good, the common good of the complete human community, over the goods of parts of the community as parts. Although their position is qualified in various ways, proponents of the New Natural Law Theory tend to see the “specifically political common good” as being “limited and in a sense instrumental.”14 The role of the state is to provide the necessary conditions for persons and smaller communities to seek their basic goods. The state, according to them, is therefore not ordered to the fullness of human virtue, but only towards such social virtues as are necessary for maintaining public order: “As the public good, the elements of the specifically political common good are not all-round virtue but goods (and virtues) which are intrinsically interpersonal, other-directed…, person to person…: justice and peace.”15
In this instrumental understanding of the political common good, proponents of the New Natural Law are closer to the political philosophers of the Enlightenment and their 19th-century liberal heirs, than they are to the Socratic tradition of political philosophy as it was developed by Plato, Aristotle, and the great thinkers of the Middle Ages. It is thus not surprising that proponents of the New Natural Law Theory tend to agree with the Enlightenment philosophers and the 19th-century liberals on the vital importance of rights such as freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, etc.
To his credit, John Finnis points out that there was a “watershed” in the understanding of the concept of right or jus between the time of St Thomas Aquinas and that of Francisco Suárez. St Thomas had seen the primary meaning of right as being “the just thing itself,” meaning “acts, objects, and states of affairs, considered as subject-matters of relationships of justice.”16 Finnis implies that the distribution of such rights is related to the common good. To make his point more explicit: the duty that someone else has to render to you, what is your due by justice, is measured by law, which is an ordinance for the common good. Three centuries later, Finnis notes, in the work of Suárez, the primary meaning of jus comes to be a moral power that a person has over what belongs to him or is due to him.17 Finnis, however, disagrees with theorists such as Michel Villey that this watershed represents a bad development that needs to be corrected. According to Finnis, “there is no cause to take sides as between the older and the newer usages.”18 In a postscript to the second edition of Natural Law and Natural Rights, Finnis goes even further, arguing that the “watershed” between Thomas and Suárez, “must be regarded as much more a matter of appearance and idiom than of conceptual, let alone political or philosophical, substance.”19 The main reason for this is Finnis’s instrumental understanding of the common good. Since the common good is ultimately for the sake of the enabling the enjoyment of basic goods, “right” in St Thomas’s sense is ultimately for “right” in Suárez’s sense:
[W]hen we come to explain the requirements of justice, which we do by referring to the needs of the common good at its various levels, then we find that there is reason for treating the concept of duty, obligation, or requirement as having a more strategic explanatory role than the concept of rights. The concept of rights is not on that account of less importance or dignity: for the common good is precisely the good of the individuals whose benefit, from fulfilment of duty by others, is their right because required in justice of those others.20
Ultimately, therefore, Finnis can affirm the modern use of rights language as “a supple and potentially precise instrument for sorting out and expressing the demands of justice.”21 Finnis certainly disagrees with some contemporary claims about rights, such as the claim of a right to abortion or homosexual marriage,22 but he agrees with others. Particularly, he defends the right to free practice of religion. He reads Vatican II’s Declaration Dignitatis humanæ as having defended that right on the basis of an instrumental understanding of the common good.23 I would argue that his reading of Dignitatis humanæ is, in fact, incorrect, and that his error of interpretation flows from the error in his principles.24
In Making Men Moral, Robert P. George disagrees with the radical liberal claim that politics should not be concerned with morality, yet he uses the New Natural Law theory to defend the rights that had been defended by classical liberals: freedom of speech, freedom of the press, the right to privacy, freedom of assembly, and freedom of religion.25 The list reads almost like a list of liberties condemned by the 19th-century popes.
Part II: Contrasting the New Natural Law Theory with the Old
Contrary to Grisez’s claims, St Thomas did not hold the main theses of the New Natural Law Theory. An understanding of his “old” natural law theory will, therefore, show the conclusions of the new to be erroneous.
For St Thomas the distinction between speculative and practical reason is not as rigid as for Grisez. Practical reason is distinguished from speculative reason from something that is accidental to reason as power—namely that practical reason orders what is known to action, whereas speculative reason orders it to contemplation. But, St Thomas argues, “to a thing apprehended by the intellect, it is accidental whether it be directed to operation or not.”26 In other words, to know for the practical intellect is not radically different than for the speculative intellect.
Nevertheless, since the good is in things, the practical intellect ought to consider goods according to the existence they have in reality, rather than merely according to their abstract existence in the mind. Hence the first precept of the law, “good is to be done and pursued, and evil is to be avoided” refers not to a universal name, said of many goods, but existing only abstractly in the mind; rather it refers to a good common in its causality—the final end attracting all things by its actual goodness.
Hence, in discussing the essence of law in general St Thomas argues that law is always ordered to a good which is universal in causality. Thomas argues that law is always ordered to “the common good.” He raises an objection: “Law directs man in his actions. But human actions are concerned with particular matters. Therefore the law is directed to some particular good.”27 In response, Thomas writes: “Actions are indeed concerned with particular matters: but those particular matters are referable to the common good, not as to a common genus or species, but as to a common final cause, according as the common good is said to be the common end.”28 In other words, in any kind of law, particular actions are commanded because they are directed toward that common good which is their final cause. Therefore, in the first precept of law, “the good” refers to the most common good to which all other goods, and all actions, are directed. Insofar as it refers to other goods to be done, it is referring to those other goods as actually ordered to the highest good and last end.
But what is the last end and highest good?29 It is God Himself, the unbounded ocean of actuality, perfection, and goodness. The good is what all things desire insofar as they desire their perfection. But since every created perfection is from God as its agent, exemplar, and final cause, it is a participation in God’s perfection. To participate is to take part in something without removing a part from it. My reflection in a mirror partakes of my form, without depriving me of any part of my form. God does not have parts, but creatures share in Him in an incomplete, that is, a partial way. Therefore, creatures are ordered to their Creator the way parts are ordered to a whole. The perfection that each creature desires consists in an ever-greater likeness to the Creator. But that means that the perfection that they desire only ever exists in a secondary way in themselves. It exists fully only in God. Therefore, St Thomas teaches, creatures naturally love God more than themselves:
In natural things, everything which, as such, naturally belongs to another, is principally, and more strongly inclined to that other to which it belongs, than towards itself…. For we observe that the part naturally exposes itself in order to safeguard the whole; as, for instance, the hand is without deliberation exposed to the blow for the whole body’s safety. And since reason copies nature, we find the same inclination among the social virtues; for it behooves the virtuous citizen to expose himself to the danger of death for the public weal of the state…. Consequently, since God is the universal good, and under this good both man and angel and all creatures are comprised, because every creature in regard to its entire being naturally belongs to God, it follows that from natural love angel and man alike love God before themselves and with a greater love. Otherwise, if either of them loved self more than God, it would follow that natural love would be perverse, and that it would not be perfected but destroyed by charity.30
As all the great mystics of the Catholic tradition have known, therefore, God and God alone fully satisfies the desires of the human heart. Contrary to Grisez’s impious thesis, the one who has God and all created goods does not have more than the one who has God alone.
As James Berquist has shown, however, it does not follow that one could simply restate the first precept of the law as “God is to be pursued and what leads to Him is to be done.”31 This is because what is first naturally known to us is rather indistinct and confused. We know there is some final end of desire, but we do not yet know explicitly that it is God. Hence St Thomas writes:
To know that God exists in a general and confused way is implanted in us by nature, inasmuch as God is man’s beatitude. For man naturally desires happiness, and what is naturally desired by man must be naturally known to him. This, however, is not to know absolutely [simpliciter] that God exists; just as to know that someone is approaching is not the same as to know that Peter is approaching, even though it is Peter who is approaching; for many there are who imagine that man’s perfect good which is happiness, consists in riches, and others in pleasures, and others in something else.32
A human being first apprehends the natural law when he attains the age of reason. St Thomas describes the first deliberation that takes place at the age of reason as the discernment of the true end to which man must order himself. If he fails to order himself to his end, he commits a mortal sin.33 As James Berquist has shown, the one who fails to order himself to his end does not see the good as a common good, to which he must order himself, but rather as a private good which he wishes to order to himself.34
From this primacy of God as the universal common good follows a hierarchy of all other goods, which are good because they are like God and because they in some way (either indirectly or directly) help us to approach God. The highest good of the human moral life is the common good of the complete human society, the political community. The intrinsic common good of the polity is peace, the tranquility of order that results from justice and prudent governance. This peace is a thing of beauty, in which the splendid virtues of citizens are brought into a harmonious unity, like a symphony of human life which imitates the beauty of Heaven. As Socrates puts it, “no city can be happy which is not designed by artists who imitate the heavenly pattern.”35 The extrinsic common good of the city is happiness. As Aristotle teaches, a city is founded for living well, that is acting according to moral virtue.36 Human happiness is found in doing the human activity (ergon) virtuously. And this is ordered to God both by making human beings more like God, and by preparing them for the contemplation of God. This virtuous activity is a truly common good when it is shared in political friendship.37 All other human goods are directed to this common good. This does not mean that the political community can simply destroy lesser human goods; on the contrary, the lesser goods are necessary for the primary good, which depends upon them.38
Given the primacy of the common good, Finnis is wrong to see the watershed between the older understanding of “right” as found in St Thomas and the modern theory of “rights” as a matter of appearance rather than substance.39 On the contrary, on the older understanding, since the common good is understood as true human happiness, rights are distributed with a view to that true happiness, to the fostering of the virtuous activity in which it consists. But on the newer understanding, the common good is degraded to an instrument for serving rights understood as something merely personal. As the Laval School Thomist Henri Grenier put it:
If objective right is understood as right in the strict sense, it follows that subjective right, i.e., right as a power, is measured by the just thing, according to conformity to law. Moreover, since law is an ordinance for the common good, it follows that the whole juridical order is directed to the common good. But, if subjective right is understood as right in the primary, strict, and formal meaning of the term, it follows that the juridical order consists in a certain autonomy, independence, and liberty. For subjective right is not measured by the just thing, but the just thing is measured by the inviolable faculty, which is a certain liberty. Therefore, according to moderns, the juridical order is directed to liberty rather than to the common good. This gives rise to errors among moderns, who speak of liberty of speech, liberty of worship, economic liberty,— economic liberalism,— without any consideration of their relation to the common good.40
As Charles De Koninck argues, this reversal has “execrable practical consequences.”41 For, when each orders the common good to his own private good, every member of society is a little tyrant.42
The papal condemnations of the demands of 19th-century liberals for freedom of speech, worship, etc. can be understood in this light. The popes recognized that the freedom being demanded was a tyrannical freedom, contrary to the fostering of true virtue and the common good. Thus, Pope Leo XIII in examining liberal demands for religious liberty teaches that such a liberty, understood as “the principle that every man is free to profess as he may choose any religion or none” is contrary to the virtue of religion, whereby we render to God what is His due. He then goes on to discuss the relation of this supposed right to the common good of the state. It is worth quoting him at length:
This kind of liberty, if considered in relation to the State, clearly implies that there is no reason why the State should offer any homage to God, or should desire any public recognition of Him; that no one form of worship is to be preferred to another, but that all stand on an equal footing, no account being taken of the religion of the people, even if they profess the Catholic faith. But, to justify this, it must needs be taken as true that the State has no duties toward God, or that such duties, if they exist, can be abandoned with impunity, both of which assertions are manifestly false. For it cannot be doubted but that, by the will of God, men are united in civil society; whether its component parts be considered; or its form, which implies authority; or the object of its existence; or the abundance of the vast services which it renders to man. God it is who has made man for society, and has placed him in the company of others like himself, so that what was wanting to his nature, and beyond his attainment if left to his own resources, he might obtain by association with others. Wherefore, civil society must acknowledge God as its Founder and Parent, and must obey and reverence His power and authority. Justice therefore forbids, and reason itself forbids, the State to be godless; or to adopt a line of action which would end in godlessness—namely, to treat the various religions (as they call them) alike, and to bestow upon them promiscuously equal rights and privileges. Since, then, the profession of one religion is necessary in the State, that religion must be professed which alone is true, and which can be recognized without difficulty, especially in Catholic States, because the marks of truth are, as it were, engravers upon it. This religion, therefore, the rulers of the State must preserve and protect, if they would provide— as they should do— with prudence and usefulness for the good of the community. For public authority exists for the welfare of those whom it governs; and, although its proximate end is to lead men to the prosperity found in this life, yet, in so doing, it ought not to diminish, but rather to increase, man’s capability of attaining to the supreme good in which his everlasting happiness consists: which never can be attained if religion be disregarded.43
This argument is based on the contrast that Pope Leo XIII sets up between true liberty, ordered to the true good, and false (liberal) liberty, which is ordered indifferently to whatever human beings take to be their end. Thus, liberty of speech, of publishing, etc. are condemned in similar terms. True liberty is essentially ordered to God, who is the last end and first principle of all human moral acts. As Leo XIII teaches in the encyclical Au milieu des sollicitudes, the true understanding of human morality is thoroughly theocentric:
The idea of morality signifies, above all, an order of dependence in regard to truth which is the light of the mind; in regard to good which is the object of the will; and without truth and good there is no morality worthy of the name. And what is the principal and essential truth, that from which all truth is derived? It is God. What, therefore, is the supreme good from which all other good proceeds? God. Finally, who is the creator and guardian of our reason, our will, our whole being, as well as the end of our life? God; always God.44
The errors of the New Natural Law Theory remove God from the center of human moral, juridical, and political life. The acceptance of those errors therefore leads to a hollowing out of morality, and a secularization of jurisprudence and politics. Ultimately, it represents a capitulation to the modern enemies of the Church, who have set up a secular anti-culture in the place of the noble customs of Christendom. It is therefore imperative that those errors be resisted.

When you're in show business, it helps to have a Svengali, someone to manage, guide, and help create your career. In fact, without such a Svengali, many famous entertainers would have never gotten to first base in the music or movie industries.
Cher had Sonny Bono, a hit songwriter, without whom she'd have never amounted to anything.
The Sex Pistols had Malcolm McLaren, who created the group from scratch.
Frankie Avalon and Fabian had the Idolmaker himself, Bob Marcucci, who built both of their careers.
The Beatles had Brian Epstein managing their career, and some would say Theodor Adorno writing all of their songs.
Bono, McLaren, Marcucci, Epstein, and Adorno (if he did write songs for the Beatles) were directly responsible for the success of their protégés.
Of course, not every Svengali gets along well with every protege.
Paul Snider brutally murdered Dorothy Stratten.
Tippi Hedren, commenting on the one thing that no one in Hollywood was ever allowed to comment on, called Alfred Hitchcock a "fat pig."
And Elvis Presley frequently clashed with perhaps the greatest Svengali of them all - Colonel Tom Parker.
The Colonel Who Was Never a Colonel
Colonel Tom Parker was never a real colonel, his name wasn't Tom Parker, and he wasn't an American citizen. He was born Andreas Cornelius van Kuijk in the Netherlands in 1909 and immigrated to the United States illegally when he was twenty-years-old. As for the rank of colonel, it was an honorary title bestowed upon him by Governor Jimmie Davis of Louisiana for helping to get Davis elected.
In the make-believe land of entertainment, no one held any of those things against Parker. After all, anyone who could help Davis, a singer with no political experience, get elected as governor, and consequently reinvent his own life in such spectacular fashion, deserved to be called "colonel." For what it's worth, Davis wrote and recorded the immortal song "You Are My Sunshine."
Parker met Elvis Presley in 1955 and quickly became his "special advisor" and then his manager. Because Presley was still a minor, his parents had to sign the contract with Parker. A contract which gave the colonel 50% of Presley's earnings - for life.
When people outside of show business, and even some naive people in show business, hear about that they immediately balk. The idea of signing away 50% of one's earnings to a manager sounds like fraud, especially when the standard rate is 10%. But you have to remember that Parker was directly responsible for Presley's massive success. Without Parker, there's no Elvis Presley, as we know him today.
It was Parker who helped Elvis exit Sun Records and get signed by RCA Victor, where he became an instant million-selling artist. It was Parker who convinced Elvis to make movies and then set up and negotiated those deals. It was Parker who got Elvis's career back on track after he was discharged from the army. He was worth every penny of his 50% commission.
Presley and Parker fought frequently. In 1973, after a massive backstage argument, Presley fired Parker, who responded, "You can't fire me, I quit." After two weeks of trading insults, however, they decided to maintain their business relationship. Parker remained Presley's manager until his death, and then afterwords, running the Presley estate and merchandising scores of Elvis products.
Parker himself died at the age of 87.
Preying on the Young?
It's interesting to note how Parker and other Svengalis are attracted to youth. Elvis was twenty when he met his future manager, Parker. Cher was a sixteen-year-old waif when she met Sonny Bono. Both Frankie Avalon and Fabian were teenagers when Bob Marcucci stepped into their lives. Dorothy Stratten was seventeen-years-old and working at a Dairy Queen when Paul Snider promised he'd make her a star.
The basic premise of a Svengali finding a talented youngster and managing them to success is as old as "A Star is Born." Companies like Walt Disney have institutionalized the process.
If you want to make your mark in the world as a Svengali, find yourself a talented young teen to represent and sign them to a managerial contract. Of course, if you go by the rumored history of Mario Puzo's "The Godfather," you may find yourself confronted by someone else with a stake in your client's future; a stake bigger than yours; someone with no qualms about making you an offer you can't refuse.

With the new right-wing government, Sweden has suddenly done a lot of things right. They SCRAPPED climate taxes on fuels.
They SCRAPPED Agenda 2030 goals from government directives. They SCRAPPED renewable energy goals, will focus more on nuclear power. Going AGAINST cashless agenda looking at forcing shops to accept physical cash. Good news!

CAF goes on to point out, "There is so much effort in persuading people to think there is nothing you can do, and it's hopeless. Let me tell you something . . . the central bankers are telling you what they are going to do, and this is not far away in the future.

Arthur Topham RIP - ZOG Opponent
Arthur Topham - 25 February 1947 - 23 March 2024
ZOG tried to silence this courageous Canadian. They failed.
March 2017--No jail time for Canadian man convicted of online anti-Semitism
Arthur Topham barred from internet for 6 months, says he has a duty to alert the public to 'imminent threat of Jewish lobby'
by Monika Schaefer
(henrymakow.com)
Sadly, we have lost a great thinker, writer, teacher, courageous truth-teller, and brave warrior who always fought for what is right. Arthur Topham passed on after an illness with cancer on the 23rd of March, 2024 in Quesnel, BC. He was 77 years old.
Many people will remember Arthur through his brilliant writing and creation of memes and articles on his site Radical Press. This began in 1998 as a print publication called The Radical with a subtitle "Digging to the root of the issues", and a few years later he switched from print to solely online production. The subtitle was a direct reference to the etymology of the word "radical" - the root. Digging to the root of the issues was what Arthur Topham did brilliantly. He had long been an activist who wrote frequent letters to political figures and to editors of newspapers, and over the years, as he dug down deep to learn about true history, his writings became ever more dangerous to the "establishment". There were complaints from Jews about the contents of his Radical Press website, and a dozen or more years of legal harassment, persecution and conviction followed.
I was first introduced to Arthur Topham in about 2013, and I became an avid reader of his Radical Press on-line publication. In subsequent years Arthur published several articles in which he featured content from me. Later when I was thrown in jail, Arthur worked tirelessly to publicize my case. He created memes and posters, he informed the public about whom they could write letters to on my behalf, and he wrote excellent letters pushing for my release. He was so effective in fighting for me,in fact, that at some point he was accused of breaching his own sentencing conditions which resulted in more years of legal harassment for him.
I am forever grateful to Arthur Topham for all that he did, for all of us.
(Holocaust skeptic Monika Schaffer)
This was how Arthur finished one of his emails to me a number of years back, before my incarceration. I include it here as a message of inspiration to us all.
"Be strong my friend and keep on loving, living, making music and speaking the truth! And may God protect you always. (My theme has always been Psalm 23 since I began this quest and I find great comfort in it. The table is just about prepared!)
Mehr Licht!"
[More Light!]
Although he at various times occupied various parts of the political spectrum, Arthur Topham was a consistent free speech warrior. He paid dearly for his outspoken courage. CAFE supported him at his 2015-2016 "hate trial" in Quesel. An eclectic group of free speech supporters attended the trial and rallied around him, people from as far away as Japan, England (expert witness Gilad Atsman), the U.S., Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta and, of course, British Columbia.
In cross-examination, we learned many interesting things, especially from Len Ruidner, the Canadian Jewish Congress's "expert" witness. Some of the problematic and horrific, yes, hateful, verses from the Talmud, for instance, justifying sex with little children, he didn't disavow, except to suggest that these passages were merely rabbis "speculating." The jury, in a typically Canadian half-and-half decision, convicted Arthur of one count of promoting "hate" and acquitted him of the other. Juries in Canada don't give reasons. So, we never learned which writing they deemed "hate" and which was merely opinion. -- Paul Fromm, Director, Canadian Association for Free Expression.
Arthur attended Simon Fraser University back around 1969. He became a school teacher and taught in Quesnel for a while.
For a long time, he published a hard copy tabloid called The Radical. It was a lot of fun -- an old fashioned hippy paper advocating decriminalizing marijuana and all sorts of alternative ideas.
He/the Radical was put through the meatgrinder of Court because he printed the scandal about Indian Chief Ed John being accused as having committed sexual assault. At that point in time, Ed John had been appointed to the Cabinet of British Columbia, even though he was not an elected MLA!
Arthur wound up in the Supreme Court of BC at Vancouver, along with Kevin Annett. The judge, James Taylor, issued an Order that Arthur was prohibited from publishing anything about the scandal. I was there. Arthur stood up in Court. Mr Annett was there, lurking around, but lacked the courage? to go into the Courtroom. The thing was just begging to break wide open as an important test of Freedom of the Press but Arthur did not have the means to pursue it. Years later, his own people called-out Ed John.
The turmoil Arthur went through after being charged with "hate speech" demonstrated how the meatgrinder process of the criminal justice system is a punishment unto itself. The cops / the Prosecutors did things that were blatantly ILlegal. For instance, they walked in with a very suspect Warrant to Search, seized everything in sight, especially his computer, which was crucial to him being able to prepare his Defence. Then they kept his computer for years.
Lawyer Doug Christie relished the case, because it gave him the opportunity to test his question about "if something happens in cyber-space, alleged to be a crime, where does it actually take place?" Sadly, Doug died in 2013 prior to Arthur's trial.
At Arthur's trial, the judge took Judicial Notice that the material at issue, Arthur repurposing the book Germany Must Perish", into a perfect parallel entitled Israel Must Perish" was satire. I thought that what he had done was very witty.
I am pretty sure that Arthur had composed his piece of Art ( satire) at his home in Quesnel British Columbia. Then sent it via the internet to a website with a server in the United States of America.
At that point, anyone who accessed that website, in order to view it on a computer screen, was "operating' in the territory of the U.S. of A.
The point being no-one ever did an act in the real world anywhere in the Dominion of Canada, which contravened section 319 of the Canadian Criminal Code. In the US, that material is not a criminal offence. In the US the concept of Free Speech, includes the reciprocal ... the right to listen
I was in communication with Arthur all that time. I got Dr Henry Makow to agree that he would take the witness stand for the Defendant. But Arthur's lawyer never called him. As well, I was adamant that Arthur take the witness stand in his own defence. But his lawyer Barkley Johnson prevented him doing so. A jury wants to see the Defendant. They make up their mind whether or not they like him. Then they decide if he's guilty or not.
The black humor at the end of the trial was there were two charges identical except for the dates of the allegations. The jury convicted him of one, but acquitted him of the other! The sentence was UN-believable: he was ordered not to talk about anything to do with the Jews for years
He was pretty de-moralized for years after. -- Gordon Watson, Justice Critic, Party of Citizens Who Have Decided To Think for Ourselves & Be Our Own Politicians

10 Glorious Facts About Italian Mystic & Doctor of the Church Saint Catherine of Siena
Saint Catherine of Siena is a 14th-century Italian mystic and theologian.
Here are 10 things to know and share about her life of profound holiness!
Caroline Perkins, ChurchPOP1) Born in Siena, Italy, in 1347.
She was born on the solemnity of the Annunciation of Jesus (March 25))
2) Said to have had her first visions of Jesus when she was just a child.
Her experiences as a mystic continued throughout her life.
3) Had the nickname “Euphrosyne.”
She was such a joy as a child that she was called “Euphrosyne”, which is Greek for JOY.
Caroline Perkins, ChurchPOP4) She was NOT a nun.
Motivated by a vision of Saint Dominic, she entered the Third Order of Saint Dominic at age 16.
5) Spent several years of solitude in her cell within her family’s home
…before living a life of service to the poor and sick in Siena.
Caroline Perkins, ChurchPOP6) Played a role in ending the Avignon Papacy.
She convinced Pope Gregory XI to return to Rome from France!
7) She received the stigmata
…but her wounds were visible to her alone!
8) She had the Gift of Tears.
Pope Benedict XVI explained that this was part of her spirituality – to express an exquisite, profound sensitivity and tenderness.
Caroline Perkins, ChurchPOP9) She is the only lay Doctor of the Church.
The others are all clergy or religious! Pope Paul VI declared her a Doctor of the Church in 1970. Her spiritual testament and teachings are found in "The Dialogue of Divine Providence."
10) She died on April 29, 1380, at the age of 33.
Here is a prayer written by Saint Catherine of Siena:
Eternal God, eternal Trinity, you have made the blood of Christ so precious through his sharing in your divine nature. You are a mystery as deep as the sea; the more I search, the more I find, and the more I find the more I search for you. But I can never be satisfied; what I receive will ever leave me desiring more. When you fill my soul I have an even greater hunger, and I grow more famished for your light. I desire above all to see you, the true light, as you really are.
Amen.
And here is a prayer for her saintly intercession:
O Saint Catherine of Siena, God our Father enkindled the flame of holy love in your heart as you meditated on the Passion of Jesus His Son. Moved by His grace, you devoted your life to the poor and the sick, as well as to the peace and unity of the Church.
Through your intercession, may we also come to know the love of Jesus, bring His compassion to all, and work for the unity of His Church. We ask this in Jesus’ Name and for His sake.
God, You caused Saint Catherine to shine with Divine love in the contemplation of the Lord’s Passion and in the service of Your Church. By her help, grant that Your people, associated in the mystery of Christ, may ever exult in the revelation of His glory.
Amen.
