The One About SHARIA FINANCE, BLANKIES and AXE BODY SPRAY

Originally penned and posted on January 21, ARSH 2012.

I have seen people erroneously claiming that musloids have financial markets and banking without any interest.

BULL. SHIT.

Musloids are some of the worst criminal usurers on the planet, charging criminally high interest – all the while making the abject bullshit claims that they don’t charge any interest at all.

Musloids and Marxists lie. You have to assume that every word out of the mouth of a musloid or a Marxist is a lie, including “and” and “the”. They are COMMANDED to lie; musloids by the suras and hadiths, Marxists by Marx, Lenin, Mao and Alinsky. If you haven’t figured this out yet just by watching the satanic farce that is politics today, then you are beyond all help.

Here is a piece I authored back on January 21, ARSH 2012 explaining “Sharia finance”.

——————————————————–

On Sharia Finance, Blankies and Axe Body Spray

Writing about Sharia finance is oddly refreshing. Why? Because it is a chance to point out the abject stupidity – and guys, we’re talking full-on drooling imbecility here – of islam without anyone getting their head sawed off with a dull Ginsu-II or a child getting raped.

Sharia finance is so monumentally stupid that it is actually hysterically funny. Have a few beers around a campfire and I could get you laughing so hard your ribs would ache.

So the entire premise of Sharia finance is that there is NO INTEREST. If you borrow money, it is at zero percent, because the paying of interest is “haram”, which means “forbidden”, according to Sharia law. Got it? Good. Now, let me walk you through the reality of Sharia finance, and I warn you, don’t drink while you’re reading this, because if you do, you stand a good chance of spewing your Dr. Pepper out your nose, and I won’t be responsible for that.

Let’s say a person buys a $150,000 home on a 15 year mortgage at 5%. Purely for the sake of simplicity, let’s just say zero down. The amortization table shows that over those 15 years, or 180 months, at 5% interest, the monthly payment would be $1186.19 and that the total interest expense paid over the life of the mortgage would be $63,514.28. So, principal ($150,000) plus interest ($63,514.28) would be $213,514.28 for the $150,000 property.

Now here is an “interest-free” Sharia loan scenario. And bear in mind that I am dead serious here. I’m not making this up.

A musloid walks in to a “Sharia-compliant” lender and tells them that they want to buy a $150,000 property on a 15 year term. The Sharia-compliant lender then looks up what the going INTEREST RATE is. (Uh, Houston, we have a problem.)

In our example, it is 5% on a 15 year mortgage. The musloid banker then calculates the amortization table on a 15 year loan on $150,000 at 5%. (Uh, Houston, we’ve had some sort of major malfunction here.)

He sees that the total interest expense would be $63,514.28. So, the “Sharia-compliant” lender then offers to buy the property at $150,000 and immediately sell it to the customer for . . . $213,514.28. The customer then sets up a note to repay the $213,514.28 in 180 equal monthly payments of $1186.19 at “zero percent”, because $213,514.28 divided by 180 is $1186.19. Voila! Zero interest!

That’s it. I’m not kidding. I’m not making this up. If I was going to make something up, I would make something up that wasn’t totally, completely, laughably stupid.

Um, soooooo, tell me Mister Musloid, what EXACTLY is the $63,514.28 markup? Uh, isn’t that … interest? How was that amount calculated? Uh, didn’t you ping the interest rate market and calculate an amortization table to come up with that number? Yes.

Isn’t the borrower paying the lender for the use of his money over the 15 year term? Yes.

Wouldn’t TRUE zero-interest lending mean that you paid a total of $150,000 for the property, and that your monthly payment would therefore be $150,000 divided by 180 months, or $833.33 per month? Yes.

And if you did a 30 year loan at true zero interest, your monthly payment would be $150,000 divided by 360, or $416.66 per month? Yes. THAT would be zero interest.

Sharia finance is “zero interest” about as much as I am a bottle of 1964 Chateau Latour.

Over the Christmas holiday, I had the occasion to be around a two year old while traveling. There was a blanket nearby, and we inevitably fell into the old game of “”hide under the blanket”. The toddler would pull the blanket over her head right in front of me, and then I would say, “Hey, where did she go? She was here just a minute ago. She just disappeared!” And then the toddler would pull the blanket off of her head and yell “HERE I AM!” and I would act like I had just witnessed some sort of miraculous manipulation of the fabric of space-time. You know the game. And you also know that toddlers at between the ages of three and four become self-aware, and possess enough cognitive sophistication to be able to perceive and extrapolate how OTHERS perceive THEM. And as soon as that intellectual benchmark is reached, the “hide under the blanket game” no longer works, because the child KNOWS YOU CAN SEE THEM.

This is pretty much the dynamic we are dealing with vis-a-vis the musloids. These people are intellectually and cognitively stunted due to 1400 years of inbreeding. As a result of this, they actually think that this Sharia finance ”work around” is somehow valid or legit – AND THAT WE CAN’T SEE IT. They think that we non-musloids look at this and say, “My goodness! Yes . . . yes. That truly is a zero interest mortgage! No interest there! Why didn’t we think of that?!”

The sad thing is that the politically correct morons who infest our culture think that it is somehow “tolerant” or “promoting diversity” to go along with the musloids and their intellectual retardation. And so, all of the megabanks are furiously scrambling to set up “Sharia-compliant” financial products, when the only appropriate response to such absurdity would be something along the lines of, ”DO YOU THINK THAT I’M STUPID? GET THE HELL OUT OF MY OFFICE, AND TAKE YOUR BRAIN-DAMAGED NONSENSE WITH YOU. NOW. I’M BUSY.”

Finally, just a word about this in terms of the faux-religious con of islam. Have you noticed that musloids are constantly trying to cheat, deceive, and concoct bullshit “work-arounds” of ol’ allah? Sharia finance is merely trying to come up with a childish legalistic way to claim that they aren’t paying interest, while they obviously are. Islam also teaches that men can sin and do whatever they please on Mondays and Thursdays, because these are the two days of the week that allah is “inventorying the deeds of men”, and thus allah ”is busy and isn’t watching you.” This is why the “Thursday Night Club” dynamic of musloid men cross-dressing and engaging in man-on-man sodomy happens on … Thursday nights.

I’m telling you, the stupid is STRONG with these people. What the hell kind of ”religion” is built upon screwing over the deity? Oh, yeah – a “religion” that isn’t a religion at all, but a stupid, evil totalitarian political cult that uses faux-religious myths and motifs to control its cognitively damaged slaves. THAT kind of “religion”.

Guys, it is one thing to play “hide under the blankie” with a two year old. It is quite another to play that game with a 55 year old man wanting to buy real estate who reeks of goat and Axe Body Spray, and also wants to kill you, marry your six year old daughter and rape your four year old son, and take over your country.

1.) Money has time value because it is a proxy for human capacity to labor, produce and create through time,

2.) Lending involves intrinsic risk of default, otherwise known as a “cost structure component”,

3.) Money DOES ERODE over time if there is ANY inflation whatsoever. A 2% annual rate of inflation, which sounds so benign on the surface, will compound to 438% over an 85 year lifespan.

4.) And if you believe ANYTHING a musloid or a Marxist tells you, even about simple, rudimentary arithmetic, you deserve whatever hell you get.

Black comedian Katt Williams tried to warn about Sean “P Diddy” Combs running a black, gay Epstein extortion operation TWENTY years ago.

Massive language alert here, obviously, but this guy’s credibility has increased exponentially over the past week. He has several interviews and podcast appearances that now merit a second (or first) look.

Remember, whistle blowers in intrinsically evil institutions and paradigms are never going to be morally pristine themselves. This is where prudence, discernment and the ability to judge soundly comes in.

And yes, rap/hip-hop has been sodomitical since the very beginning. Yet another reason the rap/hip-hop culture must be exterminated. It cannot be reformed or rehabilitated or improved. All sodomitical cultural practices and traditions must be purged, preferably from within by the victims themselves.

Sodomy is civilizational cancer. Death to sodomy, always and everywhere.

Antipope Bergoglio Triples Down on his Public Apostasy, Trad Inc continues to pretend that he’s totally the Pope, while even current victims of Nigerian romance scammers shake their heads in disbelief at the cognitive dissonance and detachment from reality on display.

So Antipope Bergoglio declared YET AGAIN that “all religions lead to God”, which is TEXTBOOK APOSTASY.

And somewhere there’s a 78 year old woman whose IQ matches her age who has sent $300,000 to her 35 year old online fiancé who is stuck on a Turkish oil rig and needs Apple Gift Cards to pay for his daughter’s cancer treatment, shaking her head and saying to herself, “Damn, how stupid and gullible would you have to be to believe that Jorge Bergoglio is the Pope?”

That’s pretty much where we are now.

The Bergoglian Antipapacy makes Nigerian scams look sophisticated and nuanced by comparison.

If you’re new, here’s the deal: Pope Benedict never validly resigned. He tried to half-quit just the ministry of the active governance of the Church, which according to Canon Law 188 and 332.2 rendered his attempt to half-quit totally invalid. Therefore, the “conclave” of March ARSH 2013 was totally, completely invalid because the See was still occupied. You cannot validly elect a Pope while the See is occupied, whether the occupant, in this case Pope Benedict XVI, liked it or not.

That’s how we ended up with this retarded apostate Freemason faggot, Jorge Bergoglio, as Antipope. Because weak, slothful, effeminate men sat a did NOTHING in February and March of ARSH 2013 as satanists usurped the See of Peter, and have continued in their sloth and effeminacy to do nothing for these eleven long years and counting.

Now, let’s all watch the drooling imbecility unfold as cries go out for “the conversion of Pope Fwanciss to Catholicism” without the slightest acknowledgment of the violation of the Law of Non-contradiction inherent to the statement, or, my favorite, the haughty declarations that “the Church has completely misunderstood and deified the Papacy for 2000 years… but WE know better.”

Cinch those aprons tight like good 33rd Degree Masons, boys! Tear down the Papacy, and take the Church Militant with it, but don’t you dare EVER question that Jorge Bergoglio is the Pope! Nosirree!

The mind reels.

Here is my Part 3 video on the Bergoglian Antipapacy, recorded last year as a stand-alone presentation for those just getting up to speed on the issue. All three videos are on my Bergoglian Antipapacy Page HERE

There Must Be A Reckoning

(Originally penned and posted September 21, ARSH 2011. Knowing what we now know about the Obama regime’s continued control through the puppet regimes of Biden and Harris, this thirteen year old piece reads evergreen. The war, the inflation, the conquest of Europe and North America by an invasion force, the ascendancy of sodomy. It was all obvious well over a decade ago. The only thing missing is the usurpation of the papacy and installation of Antipope Bergoglio, which was yet 18 months away. —AB ’24)

The Obama regime has brought the entire planet to critical mass. A triangular imploding collapse appears imminent on the financial front as Keynesian theory coupled with the Cloward-Piven strategy enter their final destructive phase; the military front as Obama’s reformed islamic Caliphate prepares to undo the victories of Charles Martel at Tours and King Jan Sobieski at Vienna; and the cultural front as marriage has been all but destroyed, sodomy is celebrated, and pedophilia is fast-tracked for normalization and decriminalization.

And no one shows even the slightest inclination to do anything to stop, much less punish the Washington DC regime for any of this. And this is precisely the problem.

No society can survive without a firm foundation of justice upon which to anchor itself. Without a foundation of justice, there can be no law, or rule of law. Without the Rule of Law, power and freedom become pure functions of brute force, and morality, societal integrity, financial integrity and true charity, which is to say LOVE in all its forms and contexts, die swift deaths. As Obama’s Manufacturing Czar, Ron Bloom said:

“Generally speaking, we get the joke. We know that the free market is nonsense. We know that the whole point is to game the system, to beat the market, or at least find someone who will pay you a lot of money ’cause they’re convinced that there is a free lunch. We know this is largely about power, that it’s an adults-only no-limit game. We kind of agree with Mao that political power comes largely from the barrel of a gun. And we get it, that if you want a friend, you should get a dog.”
-Ron Bloom

(Remember, this was written on September 21, ARSH 2011.) In light of Operation Fast & Furious, the Solyndra scam and the recently-exposed LightSquared attempted subornation of perjury, along with the seeming attempts to bait a full-blown race and class civil war by the Obama regime, I am hard-pressed to think of another collection of 96 words that contain the essence of an entire philosophy with such brutal succinctness and terrifying clarity.

We now see that Bloom meant every word literally. The Washington DC regime has done nothing but game the system in a quest for personal power and wealth. We now know that they view the entire world’s economy and stability as a no-limit game, wherein the chips are in denominations of billions and trillions of dollars and billions of human lives, that they view as theirs for the taking. The Obama regime is nothing if not power hungry, is ramping up rhetoric with an eye towards inciting widespread violence, and perhaps hot war both at home and abroad, and is seemingly devoid of human empathy. For a dog to befriend these people would be a massive condescension on the part of the dog.

In short, these people, with Barack Obama first among them, are arch-criminals. Obama himself is one of the greatest criminals in all of human history. He has illegally usurped the single most powerful office on the planet. He has illegally and fraudulently insinuated himself into the office of Chief Executive of the largest, most powerful economy in all of human history by orders of magnitude, an economy so large and so powerful that its inevitable collapse will affect nearly every person on the planet in a tangibly negative way. He has also criminally commandeered the most powerful military force the world has ever known – also by orders of magnitude. He has hijacked a military arsenal that has the capacity to kill most of the people on this planet. He has also used his criminally-acquired power to destabilize an entire region and culture and foment what will probably become the first truly nuclear world war, centered on Israel and Iran, in which the death toll will be ultimately counted in the hundreds of millions. The scope of this crime is so large that it is difficult for the human mind to grasp it.

We are now firmly in the domain of the Stalin Principle. Josef Stalin famously said, “One death is a tragedy; one million is a statistic.” Obama, and the entire political class in Washington, and really, our entire culture collectively, now obviously determine the moral licitness of an activity solely by its scale. Once a crime surpasses a certain level in terms of scale, it ceases to be constrained by ANY moral matrix.

What’s that, you say? A non-state, non-uniformed enemy belligerent has overthrown the Executive branch and is systematically dismantling our Constitutional Republic? Well, there’s really nothing we can do about that….

What, what? A cadre of Marxists is actively debasing the U.S. dollar and consciously imploding the economy via suicidal spending, money printing and outright looting of the United States Treasury? Well, we’ll just have to wait it out and hope that everything turns out for the best….

How now? These same Marxists are actively facilitating the reforming of the Islamic Caliphate and setting up the the Muslim conquering of Europe? Well, we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it….

This apathy and moral impotence is why our nation is crumbling before our very eyes. This is why Western Civilization is imploding. There is no justice, or even a THIRST for justice. In terms of Obama, the worst consequence anyone can bring themselves to discuss is impeachment. Impeachment would be a disaster, because it would unjustly confer legitimacy and Presidential status upon Obama when he is, in fact, NOT the President. Impeachment is the constitutional remedy for removing a legally seated, legitimate President. Obama is neither. But the impeachment proceeding itself, because it would be executed by the House, Senate and Supreme Court, would give Obama a legal “stamp of approval” that he MUST NEVER be given.

Further, the Senate would be charged with voting to convict, and we all know that the moral cowards and outright criminals that now populate the legislative branch would never, ever vote to convict – no matter what the evidence. But let’s assume just for a moment that the Senate DID vote to convict. What would be the consequence to Obama? He would retire either to Hawaii or somewhere in the Middle East to live a life of extravagant wealth, of lazy days filled with ESPN, hard drug use and sodomy. This is exactly the same result that would come from Obama’s defeat in the 2012 election, or Obama’s decision to not seek re-election, OR Obama’s decision to resign at noon tomorrow.

We can no longer permit arch-criminals to evade justice. We MUST shatter the Stalin Principle if we expect our civilization to survive. Barack Obama MUST be arrested, tried as a non-state, non-uniformed enemy belligerent, convicted and punished accordingly for his crime. The MINIMUM punishment possible is a life sentence at the super-max federal prison in Florence, Colorado. Again, this is the MINIMUM acceptable punishment for one of the greatest crimes in human history.  The appropriate punishment is that after trial and conviction, he be offered the Sacraments, and at dawn the next morning be put against a wall and shot.  His body should then be hung and publicly displayed.

I am currently reading a book that should be read by every person now reading this essay. It is called “The Death of Christian Culture” by Dr. John Senior. Penned in 1978, it reads like an exegesis of current events. If you think that “Atlas Shrugged” is a prophetic read, you will be physically and emotionally shaken by “The Death of Christian Culture”. One of the key concepts covered by Dr. Senior is in chapter 7, “To Each His Own”. Beginning on page 108 comes one of the most pristine and refined discussions of the concept of justice that I have ever read. Please indulge me as I now blockquote Dr. Senior. The emphases are mine.

Justice is simply the social good, and it must therefore be done. It is defined as “giving each his due” cuique sum, “to each his own”. A man is due his life because he is a living thing; it is his nature to have life; and, since it is also his nature to be moral, if a man commits a crime, he must be punished because punishment is retributive – punishment is the penalty due the criminal in justice to him. Proportioned punishment is due him, too, and you cannot deny him that right without yourself committing an injustice against him deserving punishment in turn. The judge who fails the criminal in punishment himself incurs a greater guilt.

Because we as a nation and as a culture have failed for over 50 years to properly apply justice to the criminals among us, we have committed crimes against the criminals themselves, our neighbors, ourselves and God. And for that, we are now being punished. Justice will be done.

When Ted Kennedy was permitted to murder Mary Jo Kopechne in 1969 with no punishment whatsoever, Kopechne’s blood was spread from the hands of Kennedy alone to the hands of the entire nation. The same can be said for the blood of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. The same can be said for the crimes of Bill Clinton. In failing to punish Clinton, the matter simply didn’t “go away”. The entire nation is now reaping the whirlwind of allowing Bill Clinton to lie under oath without consequence, and fifty solid years of similar failures in millions of cases, not the least of which are the trillions of dollars stolen by “banksters” and other white-collar criminals to date and the 45 million victims (and counting) of the American abortion holocaust. No justice, no society.

“There is another justification for punishment besides retribution. Pain and deprivation are medicinal. They hurt so much that the criminal can learn that crime does not pay – or at least that the victims pay back. If you want to teach the prisoner a trade or put him to useful work, well and good; but those things are secondary and must never interfere with the first and proper use of punishment, which is the restoration of the equality of justice not only in society but in the person of the criminal. A person who commits a crime has indulged his will against reason; a disequilibrium has been established in his soul, as Plato says, which can only be righted by retributive exercise of reason against his will. The greatest evil in the world is to do wrong without being punished.”

Let us make the assumption for a moment that Ted Kennedy is in hell. It is impossible to know as Christ’s Mercy is infinite and Kennedy MAY have repented of his life of grave sin before his death. If Kennedy is in fact in heaven, he will not mind us using him as an instructive hypothetical example. In fact, he will delight and rejoice in it. If Ted Kennedy is in hell, a massive contributive dynamic to his failure to repent will have been the fact that we, his neighbors, his brothers, failed to punish him and see justice done upon him. Because Kennedy was never made to feel any pain or retributive justice for murdering Mary Jo Kopechne, he was never deeply confronted with his sin, or the fear of what the consequences would be for his immortal soul in the next life – because there were zero consequences in THIS life. In fact, it made him bolder in his sin. If Ted Kennedy is in hell, we are partially complicit in his being there, and justice will be meted out upon US for our failure in charity towards him.

Exactly the same dynamic is in play for Barack Obama and the Washington DC regime in toto. If we surrender Obama to a life of ill-gotten luxury and continued depravity, we will not only be clearing the path and scattering the rose petals for the next arch-criminal, we will also be failing Obama PERSONALLY. This is the truth of Christian Charity, which has exactly nothing to do with being “nice”.

Real Charity is ferocious, fecund and awesome in its vigor and persistence.

Real Charity does not impotently shrug its shoulders and turn its back and walk away. Ever.

Real Charity never says, “Oh, f*** him/her.”

Real Charity says, “Let justice be done upon him.”

They object to punishment itself; and that is because they deny the existence of justice; and that is because they deny that man is free, that man is responsible for his acts. Crime, they say, is sickness. It must be cured, or better, prevented by prophylaxis of the spirit, by the extermination of free will altogether so that men will react like Pavlov’s dogs to sensitivity training and even to psychosurgery and drugs . . . . They say crime is illness. Now if that were true, there could be no moral act whatsoever. If man is not free to choose evil, he is not free to choose good . . . . Everyone must remember the story of the murderer who said in court: “You can’t blame me, it was my heredity and environment that caused me to kill”, and the judge who replied, “It is my heredity and environment that sentences you to hang by the neck until dead.”

Those words were written by John Senior in ARSH 1978. As we watch the arch-criminal, Barack Obama bait a race war, with himself as the poster child in order to retain and advance his own power, and to evade the justice that is due him, remember that the total absence of justice can only lead to the total absence of freedom.

Barack Obama and all of those those complicit in his myriad crimes against the United States and humanity must be arrested, tried and punished as criminals in proper proportion to the enormous scale of their crimes. This isn’t about vengeance. It is about justice.

It is a reckoning.

 

Repost by Request: “Post-American Politics Is Kayfabe. The Word Is KAYFABE.” -Barnhardt, October ARSH 2016

This post below was written and published on 8 October, ARSH 2016:


I have been referring to post-American electoral politics as “kabuki theater”.  But I found an even better word – in fact, the perfect word.

The word is:

KAYFABE.

This comes from the world of… professional wrestling.  Here is the definition from wiki…

KAYFABE:  kayfabe /ˈkeɪfeɪb/ is the portrayal of staged events within the industry as “real” or “true,” specifically the portrayal of competition, rivalries, and relationships between participants as being genuine and not of a staged or pre-determined nature of any kind. Kayfabe has also evolved to become a code word of sorts for maintaining this “reality” within the direct or indirect presence of the general public.

Now tell me that isn’t a perfect descriptor of this utter farce.

Words have meaning, folks, and it is always best to use the word that most precisely and accurately matches the concept that one is trying to convey or discuss.  Therefore, since the perfect word for the farce before us exists, we should start using it.

Post-American electoral politics, especially national-level politics is KAYFABE. In fact, it is even more KAYFABEY than professional wrestling.

KAYFABE.

Because offstage, remember, SEATED FRONT ROW AT THE “WEDDING”. Where the dead Trump parents would have been seated.

donald-trump-hillary-clinton

 

Here’s a great example of FEDGOV propagandizing children from 40+ years ago…

I watched 3-2-1 Contact religiously as a child.  It was a public television show produced by the same Commies who produced Sesame Street.  When I was in Kindergarten in ARSH 1982-83, we went every day for a half day, and I was in the afternoon class.  So, every morning before going to school, I would watch 3-2-1 Contact on Kansas City channel 19 from 10:00-10:30, and then switch over and watch the second half of The Price Is Right on Kansas City CBS channel 5 from 10:30-11:00.

I remember this 3-2-1 Contact vignette clearly, showing a pregnant woman having an ultrasound.

Even I am stunned by the boldness and heavy-handedness of the agitprop here.  Start from the beginning, and the key quote begins at 1:45.  I’ll not spoil the surprise.

Remember, this show was 100% scripted, funded by the following rogues’ gallery and was pushed both on PBS and was shown in schools.  Schools were encouraged to use the new technology of VHS recording to record these childhood indoctrination programs off of the local PBS station and then show them as part of the school’s curriculum.

And it was “great”, because it was science, and it came from the government, and the government would NEVER try to manipulate the minds of your children.  I mean, come on.  This isn’t the Soviet Union, after all….

By the way, all of these commie PBS/Childrens’ Television Workshop programs were dubbed and rebroadcast all over the world.  And yes, both Andrew Mellon and Andrew Carnegie were Freemasons.

Funding for 3-2-1 Contact was provided by the following:

National Science Foundation (January 14, 1980 – November 18, 1988)
United States Department of Education (January 14, 1980 – November 18, 1988)
Corporation for Public Broadcasting (January 14, 1980 – November 18, 1988)
Andrew W. Mellon Foundation (January 14, 1980 – November 18, 1988)
IBM Corporation (January 14, 1980 – November 18, 1988)
Carnegie Corporation of New York (October 31, 1983 – November 18, 1988)

Remember, the fun starts at the 1:45 mark.  And the woman is 38 weeks.  THIRTY. EIGHT. WEEKS.

 

Happy Birthday Blessed Virgin Mary! Original Sin, Discarded IVF Embryos, Heaven, and Hell

The Birth of the Virgin Mary, Giotto, Scrovegni Chapel, Padua, ARSH 1305

The Birth of the Virgin Mary, Giotto, Scrovegni Chapel, Padua, ARSH 1305

Only three birthdays are celebrated on the Roman Calendar: Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Christmas, The Blessed Virgin, today, September 8th, exactly 9 months after the Feast of the Immaculate Conception on December 8th, and the Birth of John the Baptist on June 24th, six months before the birthday of Our Lord, and three months after The Annunciation on March 25th, wherein Mary was told by Gabriel that her cousin Elizabeth was six months pregnant with John the Baptist.

Only these three earthly birthdays are celebrated because only these three people were born without Original Sin.  Our Lord was sinless because, of course, HE IS GOD ALMIGHTY.  The Blessed Virgin was, by the salvific action of The Cross held free from Original Sin from the moment of her conception.  If you want to understand why, and you like science, be sure to read if you haven’t already one of my most popular essays ever, “The Science of the Immaculate Conception and the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary”.  The “Oh, COOL!” factor is through the roof on that one.

John the Baptist, called by Our Lord “The Greatest Man Ever Born of Woman” was cleansed of Original Sin by Our Lord, who had just incarnated in the womb of Mary a few days or weeks earlier, at the Visitation.  John the Baptist was a six month old pre-born baby when Our Lord, from inside the womb of Mary, cleansed him of Original Sin.

I repeat this because this all speaks to the lukewarmness of pretty much everyone calling themselves Christian in the post-Christian world today with regards to abortion, and now In Vitro Fertilization. Most Christian people believe today that aborted babies, and for that matter all babies that are killed or die before birth, especially discarded embryonic humans made using the mortal sin of In Vitro Fertilization, go to heaven.  This syrupy feminine sentimentalism is flatly wrong and beyond that, utterly undermines pretty much the entire Faith.  In one fell swoop, it denies the Dogma of Original Sin, it flatly denies the Dogma of the Immaculate Conception, and feeds directly into the Freemasonic-NWO-Bergoglian Antichurch Culture of Death, Materialism and Utilitarianism.

Think about it.  If there is no such thing as Original Sin, and all pre-born babies go straight to heaven upon being aborted or discarded as IVF embryonic babies are, then logic clearly dictates that the single most merciful act a mother could do for her child is to murder it before it is born so that it would be GUARANTEED of the beatific vision, most especially if the child were to be born into material poverty.  

“You must be murdered for your own good.”

The motto of ALL satanic cults and political systems, including the Freemasonic-Soros-Bergoglian One World Religion NewChurch that is being erected before our very eyes.

Since most Christians including, sadly, almost all Catholics today – the Church having been reduced to rubble in the past 60 years – believe that aborted babies go to heaven, no one really cares overmuch about abortion, and most people are downright enthusiastic about IVF.  You know how you can tell?  By the 50+ million abortions per YEAR in the world – and that doesn’t count China. Only God knows how many there are in China per year. And only God knows how many embryonic babies are washed down a sink and into the sewer.

And yes, this also includes miscarriages, which is why a miscarriage is such a sad event.  These children are believed to go to the Limbo of the Innocents, which is outside the Beatific Vision, and thus, technically, within the domain of hell.  However, since these children were sinless (in the sense that they did not live long enough to be able to commit personal sin), this Limbo for them is a place of natural happiness, not torment.  HOWEVER, it is still outside the Beatific Vision, and thus not the proper end for a human being, and thus a tragedy.

Thinking about the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin keeps us thinking properly and correctly about human life itself, and what exactly Christ’s death on the Cross and Resurrection means to every human life, including IVF embryonic babies, whom no one seems to think “count”.

Happy Birthday, Hammer of Heretics!  Pray for us.

Sweet September Respite

The first days whispering the rumor of the arrival of autumn, the evenings still long, but the stars peeking out while the dinner conversation is still at its peak.

An old favorite. It makes me wish that I could sing. Ah, for a Time Machine, just to visit, if only for a day and a night, this civilization, lost forever. May we live to see a restoration, better than even this.

How to Start Praying For Absolute Beginners

This is a good prayer for anyone, but in particular for someone who has never prayed, been religious, or even believed in God, but wants to start.  Don’t worry for now if you don’t really even understand what God is.  He knows who He is, and if you say, “God”, as in the One Personal Deity who created and sustains the universe, He’ll know that you are talking to Him.  He knows who He is.  And He certainly knows exactly who you are.

It is eight words. Catholics who have actually been taught the faith will recognize it as an imperfect act of contrition.  Like I said, it’s a start, and God can work with anything.  It is also a prayer which He desperately, desperately wants to answer.  He’s just waiting for you to simply say this to Him:

God, I don’t want to go to hell.

These eight words convery much.  First, that one believes in God.  Two, that one believes in hell.  Three, that one believes that it is possible to end up in hell.  Four, that one recognizes one might actually deserve to go to hell, or that one has sinned.  Five, that one wants to not go to hell, which by deduction means that one does want to go to heaven.  Six, that God is the Judge who will make the determination as to the fate of one’s eternal soul, which is why you are telling Him that you don’t want to go there and not the girl working the drive-thru window at Taco Bell.

If you get to where you’re fully comfortable with, “God, I don’t want to go to hell,” the next step is to add, “Jesus, I know that you love me.” That’s a BIG step. Some people go through life and never grasp it or believe it.

Baby steps.

I hope this helps.
