Great article. And, yes, I do believe they will start killing Canadians. I visit Canada each week to care for a sibling in LTC who has suffered strokes and now has serious dementia. They tell me that he probably won't live much longer, but they don't tell me why. He looks perfectly healthy, albeit overweight. He has not been diagnosed with heart disease, lung disease or any other illness beyond dementia. I fear they're planning to give him MAID -- with or without my permission. He's in his 60s and over time, will cost the government more money than they want to spend on "traditional Canadians" when they need the money for invited immigrant invaders.

And to think that we were (and even still are) mocked for warning of "death panels" when others say what a great idea it is to have the government in charge of healthcare here. When all healthcare is paid for with tax dollars, the government is almost guaranteed to have an incentive to "cut their losses" early. And obviously the faceless bureaucrats aren't going to care about any given individual as much as the family will. Plus, they need that money to destroy industry and western civilization.

My sympathy for your plight. I wish I had something to suggest that could help. I hope your brother avoids the executioners axe as long as possible.

Too many Canadians are given statins which assuredly converts their brains to hard lumps as the cholesterol that is reduced is exactly what the brain needs. Stop the statins and increase Vita D3 (plus K2), at least 20000 IUs daily. Many other supplements, (glutathione, NAC, zinc, etc) and vitamins can help. Avoid too much Vitamin A and Omega 6. There are ways to avoid Alzheimer’s and dementia with proper diet supplementation. For Heaven’s sake, stop with the statins, as many are now aware. Check to see what meds he takes.

Well we began by killing the indigenous,; it isn't a great stretch to kill our own.

Even the Institution that we all thought would be a mitigating factor for conflict in the Global Community:

(This is an excellent essay.)

https://indi.ca/the-undoing-of-the-un/

"The United Nations is the fig leaf they put over colonialism, to tell us it was a statue. Alas, colonialism is still very much a living, killing thing, and the UN is in on it. The UN created 'Israel,' sustained it for generations, and now dies with 'Israel' and its general ruination."

I can see what's going on with the population and cultural replacement in the west. That's obvious. But do you have any insight into the motives? The people behind all this are descendants of Europeans & European cultures. Do they want to live in filthy, chaotic, dangerous cities? At some point this affects their lives too, so I wonder what the end game is for these guys because when the majority becomes something very different they won't be at the apex anymore.

Maybe it's like what I heard about the Bolshevik takeover in Russia, more than a century ago now. Most of those who fought for the revolution, who worked so hard, true believers who thought they were doing the best to bring communal ownership for benefit of all... Well, once the coup was complete and an autocracy was in place, they were put up against a wall one by one and shot.

If you continue to dig down to the core you will find it leads to Satan and those who have chosen to follow him … yes that is the inconvenient truth … the papacy (yes the Pope), the club of Rome, the trilateral commission, the council on foreign relations, the Bilderburg Group, the world economic forum, the united nations, the Jesuits, the Knights Templar, the Freemasons, the 13 bloodline families, etc. all of it all of it leads to the satanic demonic luciferians of the bible … here is just one example https://youtu.be/2okFk6zrVrE?si=3kGa7-vUhk6qkTcrhttps://thepeoplesvoice.tv/banker-sacrifice-children-illuminati/ … once you see it you cannot unsee it …

Modern society is Luciferian. Islamism is Satanic. They are different. Lucifer offers enlightenment. He is the Light bringer. Our whole society up until recently has been Lucifer. ‘Yes! You too can be a Superstar!’ That is Lucifer. He says you can be Enlightened, a God on Earth. Lucifer talks to your ego. And we have elevated ‘stars’ to near Godly status. If George Clooney walked into a coffee shop on Salt Spring the Island would be abuzz about it for weeks. Think of how absurd that is. We have God’s work all around us. Miracles happening daily if you only look and notice, yet Tay Tay and Jason are mentioned a billion times a day!!.

There is nothing better than watching a little industrious four year old boy climbing up somewhere he hasn’t climbed before. Don’t help him. He does not need it. Or making your grandchildren kill themselves laughing over some silly bit. There is no better feeling than a real hug from your spouse, when they love you. We have been led away from that. Young women especially. But many are moving back to that.

Mystic William, what is the foundational nature of Islamic Satanism? Luciferian post-modernism I understand, it's celebrity culture as you say, narcissistic, comfort-seeking. Islamic Satanism seems to be a glorying in literal physical slaughter, & achieving supremacy for its own sake. Satanism seems to have a focus on the body & its pleasures. That combined with Islamism has a vision of the future of utter devastation, inane cruelty (again a bodily stimulant). As Islamization advances there may be muted attempts at resistance, & then a new October 7 will happen, & will bubble up out of the Islamic each time there's a pushback.

Do you agree with Elizabeth's thesis? It seems about 90% correct. Her one blind spot is over-optimism about US conservatives. The Charlie Kirk movement will likely subside. I watched the Greg Gutfeld show on YouTube for several months, & it's a good guage of US conservatism I think. The only person who consistently seemed potentially able to rebuild selflessly is Tyrus, high IQ & very socially motivated. They all mostly seemed only a bit less narcissistic than the left, frankly. Even so, the gulf between left & right is huge, how can that not be a LT existential problem ...

Mystic William's avatar

First, i know a ton of deep and kind Islamic people. But the deep inner motivation of Islam is destruction of all others.

For me Satanism might use hedonism and or violence as a bloody ritual but the goal is destruction of the individual.

I think there are two distinct negative energies, which I refer to as Satanism and Luciferianism. Whether there are two actual beings that personify each is something to discuss, but the two tendencies exist. Luciferianism exalts the ego. It makes one sacrifice everything to become a Godlike creature. Beyonce! LeBron! Satanism is a destructive force. It wants to tear down and destroy. It piggybacks onto the first.

Islam has been captured by this destructive urge. The various Eastern guru type beliefs and religions are definitely Luciferian. They promise enlightenment. You can be a star!

Amy Joy's avatar

Excuse me, gentlemen, I could not help but overhear your conversation...

Perhaps, when considering the attributes of Islam as compared to Christianity and how they manifest Satanism, the faults we all share to some degree or another will help. Those faults are: ignorance, weakness and disinterestedness. When up against the force of the ideological puritans such as the proselytizing Muslim, a persons ignorance of God's Will, their weakness to do God's Will and their lack of interest in preferring God's Will over their own (which is most generally immediate self-survival) has a place.

Satan, who is sin itself, knows he can use those faults against us. Islam keeps us from a true father-child relationship with God.

Satan appeals to faults, Lucifer to ego.

Perhaps the enemies of the west have aligned and are using the useful idiots of Islam to break our backs. The rulers of the Mideast join with Russia and china to divide and conquer and poison internally while buying farmland and implanting their next generation of rulers. Backward Muslims will tolerate poverty and clean out the intellectual class so the oligarchs can rule over them as kings. Believers of pagan faiths are easy to manipulate. Just ask Moses.

A.'s avatar

The first round of Useful Idiots in the West were found in our own youthful Baby Boom generation in the 60s and 70s. They were lured by their vanities into leftwing attitudes. And truly believed they were superior progressives for doing so.

Which is Elizabeth's story.

Gotcha!

Cia Parker's avatar

Read Londonistan by Melanie Phillips and any book by Bat Ye’Or. An immense, well-organized force has been working toward the Islamification of the world for decades. The prime directive of Islam is to submit every person in the world to Islamic law. All Jews and Hindus must be killed, all Christians either killed or submitted to semi-slave dhimmitude, with formal contractual obligations.

A.'s avatar

I read Londonistan when it came out. Admired Melanie Phillips as a thinker and writer. Then during COVID-mania she did an about-face and wrote in the British press that she could not see what all the fuss was about democracy and freedom.

That was it. Another previoulsy awakened soul bit the dust. Melanie went down.

Cia Parker's avatar

She spoke insultingly of Tommy Robinson several weeks ago, while I love and admire him. But I love and admire MOST of what she says. No one is going to agree 100% with anyone about everything.

A.'s avatar

When it is as big and important an issue as democracy and freedom, especially during an authoritarian scare, I think everyone should back away from a public figure trying to denigrate these concepts.

I suspect Melanie flipped back to the leftwing. Either that or she has become very unstable. It happens sometimes. Lionel Shriver flips back and forth at times too.

Cia Parker's avatar

Those are very broad concepts and everyone will have different definitions and understandings. Education and shared community values are essential for proper working of democracy, so you have many different conceptions right there. An illiterate, tribal society with no conception of human rights will not have an organized, humane society regardless of whether or not everyone votes for certain uneducated, barbaric candidates. Voting in itself means nothing.

Was she referring to Covid vaccine mandates? I am now against all mandates. But in the thick of Delta four years ago, I struggled with the issue.

A.'s avatar

Cia, Melanie Phillips was referring to the modern West of course. And she had been well aware of the meaning of democracy and freedom in that context when she wrote "Londonistan". More so than many others.

I realized that COVID-mania was a Psy-Op from the first week. I was astonished that Ms. Phillips missed it.

She writes for the Times of London, which is a moderately leftwing newspaper. Not as bad as the Guardian, but not exactly awakened either.

I think you just have a hesitancy here in letting go of one of your gods. And you're grasping at straws so as to be able to justify her flip. Sounds like Cognitive Dissonance on your part. Although you are free to think as you please. It is just that you have not convinced me to trust or admire Melanie Phillips again.

To believe that what gets put out doesn't come back to the perpetrators is central to religious duplicity. Wouldn't want to bank on it.

Richard Kudrna's avatar

When a prof is marginalized pre tenure he is excommunicated and blackballed. Maybe end up teaching high school or such. Post tenure profs can be stripped of classes, removed from any committees, isolated.

Test this. Look up classes / departments on history. You will find everything. You will not find Islamic conquests (I mean the old one, not the current one). Ask an Iranian about destruction of the Persian culture and religion.

A good place to begin in comprehending this and to define the enemy is 'Tragedy and Hope' by Carroll Quigley and then 'Tower of Basel' by Adam Labor. 'The Creature From Jekyl Island' by G. Edward Griffin. There are thousands of books now addressing this topic...Those are just three reading quickly which are information intensive in digestible ways.

The enemy is NOT loyal to any nation, ethnicity, religion...Or, even family for many. These are the Luciferians believing themselves God as well as Pagan Demon Worshipers this Substack Author has mentioned; the Pedophiles, Cannibals and Vampires recently reported to exist while camouflaged in society as any number of mainstream religions or cults. They're known by many names and hide behind manufactured multiple layers of secular, sacred and the occult having international membership.

NOBODY IS ALLOWED WEALTH OR INFLUENCE UNLESS ALIGNED WITH HELL'S FORCES.

They are the Eurasian Monarchs/Aristocracy, City of London Central Bank Family Coven, Multinational Conglomerate Corporatists with their Philanthropaths and other assorted psychopaths intent upon worldly success and wealth. Their eternal dream is THEFT OF ALL GOD'S CREATION and it's taking form under their 'One/New World Order' or GLOBAL DIGITAL SLAVERY. Of course, most of the population of the world must die leaving only themselves and enough slaves to serve them. I define them as Luciferian and Demon Worshiping Imperialist while other call them 'Zionists' and still others 'Black Nobility', The Club of Rome...

Expose the GUILTY of Epstein and Diddy...The GCHQ/MI6/CIA Plants aligned with those they're blackmailing, threatening, murdering. Must undermine the CORRUPTION INHERENT TO GOVT. OFFICIALS.

The Bio-Nanoweapon Injections MUST be banned immediately with a full FORMAL transparency of the horrid ingredients within the concoction meant to genocide, sterilize, disable and ENSLAVE.

There must be complete BAN to Chemtrails spewing the same concoctions and more into the environment and the planes vomiting such poisons must be IMMEDIATELY SHOT OUT OF THE AIR.

The Frequency Weapons; HAARP, Nexrad/Dopplar among others must be exposed and all the horrors they perpetrate known...The Weather Warfare, Natural Disasters as Maui, CA, Australian, Canadian Wild Fires, Earthquakes as in the South Pacific last year and those off of Kamchatka, Russia and Alaska this year...Those trying to drum-up Tsunami.

U.N. must be completely DESTROYED with no more U.S. funding of any kind.

TURN-OFF THE ELECTRICITY AND WATER/SEWAGE. Send "Movers" to pack and transfer items for shipping to the docks. Uber to take Officials, Staff and all family to the airport for their home nations. Those employed from the U.S. perpetrating Human Trafficking/Slavery must be indicted for Crimes Against Humanity, etc.

WHEN THOSE MOST THREATENING OF TACTICS IN 'UNRESTRICTED WARFARE' LEADING TOWARDS THE STRATEGY IN WHOLE ARE REMOVED...Then, will believe Trump is serious. Until then, he and his administration are just as guilty as the rest

Dale Warren's avatar

You have obviously bought into almost EVERY loonie tune that is on the net.

Do you actually believe that the Dems put the Epstein File in a drawer for the Next Administration to examine? Then I have a Bridge to sell you.

Obviously they said NOTHING about Trump or we would have seen it years ago. It has been thoroughly neutered . . . Epstein had connections to MI6 and the CIA . . .

If you have been paying attention Kennedy has already banned mRNA injections.

Earthquakes take place over 75 Miles or Deeper under the surface . . . not controlled by puny man or the result of Fracing at a mile or so.

Cdn Wildfires caused by Arsonists and Very Poor Forest Management . . .

California was Obvious Incompetence . . . and everyone knows it !

We haven't gone this deep into a Hurricaine Season with only one since 1994 ... perhaps HAARP is broken or being repaired . . . lol

Know people in the Airline Industry and none know anything about strange stuff in the fuel. But Cloud Seeding has been going on since the 1940s and still today. If they are putting strange stuff in the mix it needs to be examined.

Trump is doing an amazing job of Shutting the Border, Deporting Criminals, Finding large numbers of the 300+ 1000s unaccompanied children the Biden Adm let into the country. Could be as many as 2 million already gone, only about 30 million to go . . .

Indyting some of the Criminal element like Comey, likely many more to come.

Trump has ONLY been in office 9 months now . . . did you think he would solve everything by now?

Too bad the Dumb Canuks didn't listen to his advice on the massive Fentenyl industry operating in Cana Duh . . . Sam Cooper just was saying that even Iran, Hezbola are involved with the CCP & Mexican Cartels now . . . laundering Billions through Canada's Banks & Casinos . . .

The Cdn Auditor General just told the Country it is on the Verge of Bankruptcy . . .

Did you bother to check out Prometheanaction.com?

You seem to have a jaundiced view of everything . . . where do you get your information and do you have any "Facts" to back it up or just opinions ?

Have you been listening…HE HAS NOT BANNED THE INJECTIONS. The injections/serums are available for anybody wishing them inclusive of children and babies by stupid parents. Don’t give a lousy damn about Epstein’s connections to any INTEL…HE was an evil man and the evil must be exposed to be cleansed from our culture. Diddy...Ditto.

Advise you to research ‘Emerging Technologies’ which have actually been forced onto an unsuspecting public/world for almost 60 years as outgrowth from Nazi Germany and continued by U.K./U.S./Canada with perfecting in China under the CCP.

FREQUENCIES SURPASS ALL BARRIERS INCLUDING WATER AND EARTH, ITSELF.

Voted for Trump three times and he's the best President of a lifetime...And, THAT does not mean it's wise to be unaware of dirty dealings behind closed doors. More is happening than 'Cloud Seeding'...The testing indicates the same BUILD BACK BETTER TECHNOLOGY towards Bio-Convergence/Transhumanism as the Injection.

Dale Warren's avatar

I believe they banned the mRNA injections for Kids and stopped the mandatory vax nonsense . . .

Every day more and more information is coming out as to the health issues related to the "Experimental vax" . . . still pushed by the insane WHO and Globalist Controlled countries you have listed. But many countries are waking up like Japan, Germany and others. Trump is likely the only hope to not have a Digital ID surveylence state like is happening in Europe today.

They wish to carry out the wishes of their demon masters who whisper in their ears. Destroy Western CHRISTIAN civilization. Bring back phallic worship, child sacrifice, cannibalism, and worship of the pagan gods that they worship in their secret occult ceremonies.

Our country (USA) was founded for the glory of God and the advancement of Christianity. It is the essence of the Mayflower Compact. This Christianity is not about worshipping Christ and going to church (although those are fine things to do)...it is about following His example and living in service to others. That was what He was showing us when He washed His disciples' feet. This world is built on service to self and that is what will (thankfully!) change. Soon we will all say, "not my will but Thy Will...Thy Will be done on earth as it is in heaven". Fiat!!

The Left has recently gone into Death Overdrive in order to control - submit to our lockdown and you'll get to live, but only until you've outlived your usefulness and then we'll put you out of our misery. But their use of death couldn't control Charlie Kirk. The crowds at his memorial showed he will live on in more and more people. It showed they can't use death anymore. The Left is going to have to realize the meaning of “getting a life.”

The crusade has been on full swing for years. Started in the 60s through Russian subterfuge and continued by using Muslim displacement as the tip of the spear in convincing Christians to take in the poor refugees we created with our forever wars. Now we have the Muslims subjugating all of Europe and now Canada. They will destroy us all. The US included. It is their religious mandate. They must all be deported or ended. Time for the Christian’s to fight back against the progressives and their suicidal policies of migration and climate alarmism. Save your culture now. There is no later! Islam breeds like cockroaches and will destroy all we have.

The grand children of the people who brought North America, meaning the USA and Canada through the last century, turned rotten. The industrialists and visionaries, gave rise to the very worst. They were “given” everything, and supplied nothing in return. The baby boomers, really got the riot going. Hell no we won’t go to Vietnam! We will stay home in the comfort of our university castles, and they then demonized those that did go, those that followed their nation’s ask and came home shattered. The rebels without a cause stormed the president’s offices at these cess pools of “education’. Then traded in their lamb chop side burns and long hair for slick hair cuts and slicker suits and thin watches. They pillaged everything. This Wall Street horde made the Mongols look tame. The real fire brands went to “journalism” and the very president’s offices they had stormed and destroyed everything in sight. No lie was big enough. Like talented professional athletes, the recognition as “best” was no longer defined as how “good” you were at the position, rather how much money your agent got you. Joe just made a billion, will I better do better, because it is no longer about the good you might have created, rather the “number” your “number.” But we are seeing a change. Charlie Kirk’s murder awakened many more, and this Tuesday, it is likely that the Secretary of War is going to unveil a new military structure, similar to the Key West meeting of 1948, when Secretary Forrestal laid out the vision, tasks and goals that the US Military used for the last 7 decades. In Trump 47, we have “Trump Years”, a day is like a week, a week like a month, a month alike a year. We are 8 years in. The speed is breath taking and they are taking no prisoners. While there is much to still be very concerned about, (Ukraine and Israel/Middle East) the very fact that people are waking up to the grift gives room for modest optimism. So let the Boomers go forth every Saturday this fall, new fluorescent tennis balls stoppers on their highly polished walkers, cannabis gummies mixed with their SSRI’s and blood thinners, washed down with some noon time Chablis, their 60’s attire refitted in size XXL’s so that they can protest in old nearly forgotten glory….”no kings.” Indeed. News Flash Boomers and recalcitrant X’er’s. Your kids and grandkids don’t like you much. There is a cohort of Y and Z’s coming up the road and they can carry a lighted candle just as well as a rifle. They are awake and they eat meat.

If I may - I'm one of those "Boomers" who went to Vietnam along with a whole lot of really great, brave young men. They were the absolute best our country had to offer, and I am very proud to be one of them. It was an enormous disappointment to see the rest of our country go along with the pro-enemy Left and find excuses to avoid combat service. I believe that this was a crossroad where our generation picked the easier, safer path and we have been enslaved by the Left and their idiocy ever since.

"Refused" somehow imparts a dignity that didn't really exist. The South Vietnamese were well worth fighting for - they were invaded by the North Vietnamese who were in turn openly supported by the Soviets, the Warsaw Pact, and China. That fight was for us and our safety in that theater of the Cold War.

If the enemy's influence on our "antiwar (pro-enemy) movement" requires any proof, all you have to do is look at the photos from that time and see the VC/NVA flags and hear the chants. How long do you think parading the enemy flag would have lasted during WWII?

No, those that "refused" to serve were not noble - they missed their chance to be with us.

Gen-x spent our youth watching as boomers sold our inheritance out to the highest bidder, watched as farm after farm was repossessed and sold at auction, industries were shuttered and jobs and livelihoods vanished in front of our eyes as NAFTA gutted the hardest working Americans. Having spent our youth being either ignored or punished by our elders we put our heads down and worked as many hours as we could fit into a day, bought cheap houses and made them nice, sold them and did it again (sadly even that is hardly possible anymore) working, working, working. My millennial knows exactly where he comes from, was devastated when Charlie was murdered, we mourned together as the man was a beacon of hope for the future of our country.

I find it difficult to fault those who didn't want to go to Vietnam. Not our circus, not our monkeys. And in the end, communism has fallen apart under its own weight almost everywhere we haven't subsidized the heck out of it by moving our manufacturing there. It didn't really need "fighting" because it's unsustainable crap of an economic theory.

But I don't think the US should have done the first Gulf War either, or basically anything else that we've used the military for since the Soviet Union fell. Again, not our circus. And I'm not any sort of pacifist, aghast at the thought of the use of force, I just think we should be *far* more judicious with it. It's certainly the case that most of the objectors against Vietnam behaved egregiously, and have done nothing to improve the country, but rather the opposite.

I dunno. I'm late Gen X, and I have no kids, but I try to be a decent example to my nieces and nephews, even if sometimes it's a good example of what *not* to do. I work, I pay my own bills, and try to push back against the idiots as best I can. Gotta admit it feels like trying to hold back the tide with a tennis racket, most days.

I resent the generalization of all Boomers being blamed for our current situation. Many Boomers older than I, that I knew, went off to Viet Nam. When we fought against 'the Establishment' we were rewarded w the backlash. I think one of the early landmarks of that was the movie 'Easy Rider' and why it held such impact. It was the truth and it was scary. All we wanted was to be free and to 'do your own thing'. Yes we had our Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dorns but they were the minority as opposed to the sorely misguided, misinformed and indoctrinated who came after us.

If the Sh*t fits wear it. The war such as it was, was a war of opportunity that failed badly, agreed in that point. However if the rich kids had been forced to go and get killed and or wounded, instead of a free ride on a college campus the war would have ended in a year. As soon as binkie came home the same way the poor and middle class guys did, mommy and daddy would have stopped the war. But they didn’t did they…as a Marine Infantrt Officer seervibg after the war, I have zero respect for my boomer cohorts. Sorry it is a stone I will grind for a long long time.

You’re not wrong about the rot. The grandchildren of builders inheriting everything and supplying nothing back, that’s the core of the tragedy. A whole generation coasting on what others built, congratulating themselves on their cleverness while hollowing out the institutions they were supposed to steward. The long march through the universities, journalism, Wall Street, government you’ve nailed it.

Where I’d push back is on the blanket blame of “the Boomers.” Yes, a massive part of that generation traded in their rebellion for suits and stock options. But tucked inside that same generation are the ones who built the movements, fought the culture war when it was still unfashionable, kept the faith when the institutions went hostile, and have been holding the line for decades. My own parents were of that generation. They lived service, not slogans.

And you’re right, something is shifting. Charlie Kirk’s murder was a brutal shock, but also a flare in the night sky. People who’ve been asleep are stirring. Gen Y and Z, as you say, aren’t all indoctrinated; many are hungry for meaning, willing to carry a candle or a rifle if it comes to that. That’s the seed of the Fourth Great Awakening I keep talking about, a revival that crosses generations and shatters the caricatures.

So yes, let the comfortable shuffle off to their book clubs and tennis courts. They’ll be irrelevant soon enough. What matters now is that those awake young and old, stop waiting for permission and start acting with courage and service. That’s the fire our ancestors carried. That’s the fire we need to carry now.

I am a Boomer but Class of ‘72 and female so I didn’t go to a Viet Nam. I was “against” the war because my older cousin ran away from home, lied about his age, and enlisted. He came home a mess and ended up being persuaded to blow up a NG building in UT, which came back to haunt him years later. He got off, but it was on his record and caused him to go to prison in WY (not a nice place to be in prison) for things he didn’t do. I was programmed by educators for most of my adult life (I have an AA, BA, MA, and JD) and enjoyed being in the Kool Kids Klub (see what I did there?) but the dissonance became too great in 2016 when the Dems locked Bernie delegates out of their convention. That is what woke me up to start listening to Patriot Radio. David Webb at night, Steve Bannon in the early morning, Wilkow, Hannity, and Levin during the day. I listened in the car to early morning exercise classes, after court, on the 42 mile trip back to the office and on the way home after work. I woke up.i am not a spoiled Boomer. I have no 401k. I have a very modest SS benefit. I am still practicing law at 71, in a new state for the past year - where my husband went when we escaped from the Portland, OR orbit, albeit on the WA side of the river. He is younger by ten years and we are just hoping our efforts now will provide enough subsistence for the times, coming soon enough, when we can’t work but are still alive. We love this country and both of us voted three times for President Trump. We avoided the cancer, heart attack, stroke causing jabs. NOT ALL BOOMERS ARE AS YOU DESCRIBED- but because there are so many of us, there are plenty of those. Frankly, the women are the worst. Feminism was the worst thing that happened to women in the 20th century. I used to be a Feminist. Now I am a Trad Catholic. How things change as we age and start seeing clearly.

To the service members who also responded to your comment - I know it is late, but hoping not too late: thank you for serving. It was a corrupt war but you served loyally and faithfully and for that, you deserve all praise and respect. Thank you! <3

Appreciate your honors very much. As you may remember, things were less than peachy with our civilian friends when we got home, so thanks.

Despite the propaganda you were fed, the South Vietnamese were good, brave people and for at least ten long years we kept them free and the critical waterways around Vietnam were kept open for all of our allies (the Philippines, South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan). Why do you suppose the Soviets, the Chinese, the Warsaw Pact, and all sorts of communist cats and dogs out everything they had into supporting the NVA/VC?

Semper Fi.

> The reason that the American Revolution did not devolve into violent retribution like every single other revolution, was that it was run by Christians. Period.

That bodes rather poorly for the next one.

"there is only one faith on Earth which believed its founder to be the Creator himself, incomprehensibly clothed in human flesh:

There is a sort of notion in the air everywhere that all religions are equal because all the religious founders are rivals; they are all fighting for the same starry crown. It is quite false. The claim to that crown, or anything like that crown, is really so rare as to be unique. Mahomet did not make it any more than Micah or Malachi. Confucius did not make it any more than Plato or Marcus Aurelius. Buddha never said he was Brahma. Zoroaster no more claimed to be Ormuz than to be Ahriman."

- G. K. Chesterton

Yes! If one thinks Chesterton is wrong, ask Siri, or ChatGPT or Grok, and it'll report the same thing: the Catholic Church is the only religion founded by Jesus Christ.

As flawed as the hierarchy is--and it is deeply, deeply flawed--the Gospels, Scripture, Magisterium and Tradition have remained intact for 2,000 years. No other human organization on earth has survived as long or can make such a claim because Jesus told Peter regarding His Church that "the gates of hell will not prevail." Admission is free.

Not True . . .

Reading the Scriptures it is Jesus that is the Rock . . .

The Peter thing is a fabrication created centuries later.

Constantine founded the Roman Church in the 4th Century. Ran the population into the sea to baptise them. The week before they were slaughtering Christians.

The Roman Church is an extension of the Roman Empire, who have become incredibly Wealthy over the centuries.

For 1000 years Pope's ran Europe, hating Jews as Christ killers, starting Wars and collecting indulgences. Till the reformation in the 16 hundreds . . .

.

The "Church" are the "Believers aka Saints" and followers of Christ . . .

.

We are living in what the Prophets call the "Last Days" . . .

To Elizabeth's point, even ultra Lib Bill Maher has a lot to say about what's going on in Nigeria where they aren't even trying to hide the massive genocide against Christians that is going on. This is what's coming to the US, UK and every other Christian country if the Islamists aren't stopped.

According to leading human rights groups, over 15 million Christians have been displaced since 2009, tens of thousands killed, and more than 19,000 churches burned to the ground. Survivors describe a systematic attempt to erase Christianity from vast regions of the country.

Maher said: "You are in a BUBBLE. I’m not a Christian, but they are systematically killing the Christians in Nigeria,” he continued.

“They’ve killed over 100,000 since 2009. They’ve burned 18,000 churches… They are literally attempting to wipe out the Christian population of an entire country.”

Pointing to the focus on Gaza, Maher asked, “Where are the kids protesting this?”

Maher is desperately trying to stay relevant. He sees the cards he has been holding for the last 4 decades and knows it is a loser's hand. He should not be heard from anymore.

Beautifully stated, Elizabeth and so true! I can align with your thought completely, ‘ I strive for nobody status.’ Me, too.

God bless you!

You have encapsulated the Canada I too endure. Will the loss of Charlie Kirk really start the 4th Awakening? Only a full and enduring revolution in the US will be sufficient to wake up Canada.

Outstanding essay!

Elizabeth, you wrote: "I have the receipts, the letters, journals, newspapers, deeds, all the chronicles." That is extremely valuable material. Young people have no vision of that world, and they really need to. They need to see precisely how it plays out in real human lives. Please publish it somehow. Thanks.

Interesting thought about the American Revolution. I have a paternal line extending back to the Puritans, and have studied American history through court cases, deeds and wills. I think you are right about Christianity being the reason our Revolution succeeded while so many failed. Somehow I missed that.

Elizabeth: I love your writing, and hope you are correct about the Fourth Great Awakening. But evil will not simply surrender. Please listen to Pope Leo's short speech about Charlie Kirk. In words of prophecy, he speaks of the coming persecutions and the preparations that are necessary. The road ahead will not be easy, but we have the consolation of knowing that in the end, light will triumph over darkness.
