Mailbag: General Confession after a Barnhardt Podcast deep-dive

Dear Ann,

I have written before with my praise of your work. Today I have to relay an incredible story to you and again to offer you my thanks. I started listening to the Barnhardt Podcast back in February and I was hooked. Something about the way you, Supernerd, Nurse Claire, et al. present your information reminds me of my decades of listening to Rush Limbaugh. As I have mentioned in my previous emails, I frequently find myself driving between our home in Texas and the Northeast. This past weekend, my kids and I were on such a drive. I decided it would be beneficial to “binge” your podcast starting at episode 1. My wife had flown ahead of us for meetings. When we met up with her, our 13 year-old son told her “We had a great drive. I now know all about the sodomites in the Vatican.” We chuckled at that.

But what was even more amazing is that I got to hear you and Supernerd discussing the concept of general confession in Barnhardt Podcast episode 15. I had long thought about doing a general confession but had assumed it was something that would have to wait until I was able to make a retreat. I envisioned going to a monk and spending hours going over my life’s sins. You described the process in such terms as I began to take courage and to fervently pray for the grace to do this as soon as possible. Well, about two hours ago, only four days after listening to that episode, I made my first general confession. I’m in my 40’s and have been a practicing Catholic all my life. This was one of the most beautiful and spiritually edifying moments I have been blessed to experience. I was able to confess things that I previously had overlooked or not confessed adequately or accurately. It took five minutes and believe me, I got off easier than I deserved by far.

Thank you, Ann, for all that you do. This afternoon, right before I left for the church, I got word that my 53 year-old cousin lost her battle with cancer. She had been away from the Church for a while. In God’s mercy, she received Last Rites including the Apostolic Pardon. Could there be any better news to share than these good things?

If you ever doubt that you are indeed doing God’s work, I hope you will re-read this email and reflect. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

God bless you,

T

PS: I recently requested a Mass be said for you at my home parish, in Texas. I will let you know when they give me a date so you may join your intentions with that Mass at that hour.

Mailbag: “I actually view it as a matter of justice and charity to our enemies to make them face the reality of what they are doing, irrespective of whether or not it provides any actual legal protection.”

Ann,

I’m listening to Podcast #154, in which Nurse Claire says that she and her colleagues are resisting the jabs and won’t give in. My brother is a prominent labor lawyer in Maryland. He has been advising me and some of my colleagues who work at a world famous hospital in Maryland. We are also being pressured to get the jab by an employer mandate. He advises us not to resign or retire. He says we should make them fire us. Otherwise we give up all sorts of legal leverage. Of course, that assumes that there is/will be a functioning and just legal system, which is a whole other matter. Nevertheless, people facing termination for refusing to get the jab should make their employers and supervisors fire them. I actually view it as a matter of justice and charity to our enemies to make them face the reality of what they are doing, irrespective of whether or not it provides any actual legal protection.

Thanks for all your work!

This is why we do what we do Mailbag:

Ann,

My 80+year old relative is in hospital with coo void and one kidney that was shutting down…….. this relative’s spouse has been sneaking this person “evermechton” because docdor and horsepital all forbid this drug and things were looking really bad…… kidney was shitting down, too weak for dial-suss….. but the spouse kept on slipping him drug that staff was totally oblivious too and guess what? It worked and relative is muc much recovered……

Want you to know that I share a lot of your articles on that drug and that I think made the difference for the spouse of the relative making the decision to deceive the staff and save my relative.

I write things in encrypted way but you know email is not very secure and anybody can read it

God bless and thank you.

Signed,

xxxxxxx


Guess who’s walking on clouds tomorrow?

If you’d like a little insight into Ann-aged-seventeen, here you go.  One of the first things I bought upon moving to Manhattan, KS to begin my two-year-and-seven-month sprint to a bachelor’s degree in Animal Husbandry and Ag Econ at Kansas State was Elvis’ Gospel Anthology CD set. This would have been September of ARSH 1994.

These two songs match the moment.  Poor Elvis.  What an amazing convert he was primed to be – but the Church was in total retreat just as Elvis was falling into obesity and drugs.  Can you imagine Elvis and… Gregorian chant? Can you imagine Elvis who LOVED singing the bass part… and BYZANTINE POLYPHONIC CHANT? Elvis, until the end, despite his sinful ways, insisted that his band and backup singers sing gospel music with him every night.  This video is one of those evenings.  And yes, the skinny kid in the tan shirt is Richard Sterban of the Oak Ridge Boys – my SECOND “boyfriend” after, naturally, John “Bo Duke” Schneider, as a toddler. And yes, can we all just contemplate for a moment J.D. Sumner and Richard Sterban, the two greatest bass singers of the 20th century, singing eighteen inches away from each other, and what a moment THAT was – made possible by Elvis.

Listen to what Elvis says at the beginning of this video: “It more or less puts your mind at ease – it does mine.”

“LEAD ME, GUIDE ME”, followed by “Rock My Soul (In the Bosom of Abraham)”.

Lead me, guide me along the way
For if You lead me, I cannot stray
Or just open mine eyes, that I may see
Lead me O Lord, won’t you lead me
I am tired and I need Thy strength and power
To guide me over my darkest hour
Lord, just open mine eyes that I may see
Lead me O Lord, won’t You lead me

 

 

Mailbag: The Paramedic Purge – “This is the intentional destruction of our healthcare system. This is genocide.”

Ann,

My husband is a retired fire chief (53 years in the fire service) and today had lunch with a deputy fire chief from a neighboring department in the northwest suburbs of Chicago. His friend shared that his department has just been informed by their local trauma hospital (Advocate Lutheran General Hospital, Park Ridge) that any of the fire department paramedics who are unvaxxed will no longer be allowed to transport patients to the hospital effective immediately. The hospital systems run the certification programs for paramedics and therefor wield a lot of power over them. In our area, paramedics are crossed-trained to be firefighters.

My husband’s friend was scheduled to attend a meeting with his town’s HR department later to discuss firing the 4 paramedics who are unvaxxed, unless they comply. The Fire Departments in other towns only have vax rates of 20-50%. There will be a lot of firings, because most fire chiefs and towns will not stand up to these hospital bullies and these unvaxxed paramedics will not comply and will be fired.

Almost all of the suburban Chicago hospitals are owned by just two entities. That means that with their absolute control of paramedic certification and need for medicare compliance, hundreds of paramedics could very soon be fired in our area. There won’t be enough left of them to man the ambulances. People will die when ambulances aren’t available. BTW it takes about 3 years for a new person to complete paramedic training. This is probably happening all around the country.

Now who will want these jobs? Even before covid, few people were leaping at these jobs, even with the great pay and hours. These paramedics are run ragged during their 24 hr shifts. They deal with life and death. They see blood and guts. They are thrown up on, peed and pooped on, and bled on. They have drugged out people try to stab and shoot them. They all develop depression, anxiety disorders, and PTSD from the trauma they experience. They die 10 years sooner than other professions due to the constant stress. During the past year-plus they have heroically continued to serve, exposing themselves to covid infection. Now those who refuse medical tyranny will be shunned and kicked to the curb. They will lose their means of support and their pensions. And all of us around the country will suffer and see loved ones die due to lack of advanced medical care given in the ambulance.

This is the intentional destruction of our healthcare system. This is genocide.

I hope you will let your readers know what is happening to their paramedics, so they can pray for these brave men and women and brace for the days to come. Thank you for keeping us all informed and focused on our only source of hope and salvation, our Almighty Father.

Blessings,

D

Barnhardt Podcast #154: Vash Yur Handz All ze Time

[Direct link to the MP3 file]

In this episode Ann, Supernerd, Dr. Beep, Nurse Claire, and Vanessa discuss the declaration of war on the unvaxxed which was pronounced on Thursday September 9th by the Sundowner in Chief. Nurse Claire and Dr. Beep share their observations from the front line which, as you might expect, contradict the official narrative. Is the vax mandate the planned next Great Leap Forward in the Cloward–Piven strategy or are “they” just jumping on the chance to make “order” out of chaos? It’s definitely looking like we’re in for a dark winter so prepare now both spiritually and temporally!

Ann’s Prep Kitchen: Seasoning with Hog Grease a new 12” Lodge Frying Pan

THIS is why we save our bacon grease. To season a new cast iron skillet, melt and wipe hog grease over every surface, then place in a HOT oven for an hour. Turn oven off and let cool. Repeat two more times. Congratulations. You now have an indestructible non-stick pan with no Teflon.

First “recipe” in this bad boy is going to be Pan Pizza. Fried crust. I’ll post pics when it happens.

And yes, that is a Le Creuset enameled cast iron Dutch Oven on the top-right burner. If you don’t have one, get one. It is one of the most versatile pieces of kitchen equipment there is. It’s expensive, but the Dutch Oven and the Lodge are the only two pieces of equipment you need in an emergency situation. You can do EVERYTHING in those two vessels. Cast iron. 💪🏻

(The “van” down by the river smells WONDERFUL – not as good as the bacon-bookmarked koran burning, obviously, but still fantastic.)

9/11 hurts worse this year because many Americans are looking at the pictures of the burning buildings, the jumpers, and the piles of debris and saying to themselves for the first time, “Lucky…” Sit in stillness with that.

Slowly, gradually, in the near-silent whispers of the internal dialogue of millions of Americans, scripture and prophecy are being fulfilled. The living envy the dead. It was thought unthinkable for Americans to ever be in such a state in any significant numbers just a few months ago, and even in the days after 9/11 there was no sense of suicidal despair.

Now? As the inevitable civil war looms, and a murderous kakistocracy is the only organized force that is visible, with fully half the populace ready to call for the internment and blood of their own family members, the death of a civilization is visible like the towers burning on the New York Skyline.

And I praised the dead rather than the living:

And I judged him happier than them both, that is not yet born, nor hath seen the evils that are done under the sun.

et laudavi magis mortuos quam viventes;

et feliciorem utroque judicavi qui necdum natus est, nec vidit mala quae sub sole fiunt.

Ecclesiastes 4: 2-3

The truth is that it couldn’t go on. The abortion. The sodomy. The open hatred of Jesus Christ and His Holy Church. The relentless spreading of everything bad and poisonous and EVIL throughout the entire world through its anti-culture, its media, its governmental and financial corruption and coercion. It cannot go on. The evil cannot go on. And it won’t. Like the burning Towers, it can only end now with collapse. Will it hurt? Of course. Will people die? Yes, probably millions. But anyone who is still morally sane knows that it can’t go on. That it MUST not go on.

But don’t despair. Get yourself to safety, and if you have a proverbial boat, get to Lower Manhattan and help with the evacuation. Don’t envy the dead because for them it was “quick”. Thank God every day that you get to live, to help others, to fight the good fight, and to be able to praise God on earth, even through suffering, for one more day.
