(I originally wrote and posted this on June 23, ARSH 2010, almost a full year before I went viral. Wow. It’s almost as if you could see this all coming, or something. Actually, I have seen this coming since the late summer of ARSH 2008 when I realized that the United States was about to elect and install a Communist plant who wasn’t even an American citizen. Things like that tend to end . . . badly.  If California, Oregon and Washington secede, there will be Chinese Red Army boots on the ground within a year, easily, invited in as “peacekeepers” and “health safety enforcers.”  Many leftists today are Maoists.  They WANT to be under Chinese rule.  I remember so very well saying “If Obama usurps, it will end with Chinese boots on the ground in North America” to a friend in Denver over drinks in the Chili’s at Arapahoe & Parker in the summer of ARSH 2008 and watching his face fall in the “she’s crazy” sense. Being a Cassandra is not for the overly-sensitive.  I think my old friend, from my RCIA class no less,  still lives in Denver.  Say a prayer for him and his safety.  Denver is spinning out of control fast, from what I’ve been told.)

I have received many emails and have heard much talk about the U.S. breaking into two countries ‐ one Constitutional Republic built on a foundation of Christian principles consisting of the Mountain, Central and Southern states (essentially a Second American Republic), and a Marxist‐Socialist‐Atheist confederation consisting of the Pacific Coast states, the Upper Midwest (IL, MI, WI) and the New England states.

While it is sorely tempting to think about drop‐kicking the liberal states and going our separate ways, the reality is that this would be a MASSIVE mistake, and would almost certainly set in motion a chain of events that would end Western Civilization.

If this sort of “divorce” were to happen, we all know that the Second American Republic (SAR) would thrive while the Marxist Confederation (MC) would quickly fail catastrophically. When that failure happened, the MC would come begging to the SAR to bail it out. Now, you might be thinking, “Screw ‘em. They made their bed, now they can sleep in it. They’ll get no help from us.” That’s a knee‐jerk reaction, and it would be the WRONG reaction. Why? Because if the SAR turned down the MC’s requests for help, who would be the ONLY other nation capable of bailing out the MC? China. And as we should all understand with crystal clarity, the liberals in the MC states would be, without question, idiotic enough to actually INVITE the Chinese to take over their economy, and eventually their land ‐ purely as a “peacekeeping force” to control the food shortage riots, you understand. So, in order to stave off Chinese involvement in North America, we would have to bail the MC out anyway. It’s a textbook “damned if you do, damned if you don’t.”

In the event of a divorce wherein the SAR didn’t prop up the MC, the ports of San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland and Seattle would be completely vulnerable, and eventually would be thrown wide open to a cold invasion by the Chinese – almost certainly by invitation. The same could also be said for the East Coast ports. Boston, New York and Washington D.C. would be vulnerable and/or invite a “peacekeeping force” from the U.N., probably led by Russia.

Now we need to talk military tactics. Assume that what I have just laid out actually came to pass. The SAR and Constitutionalist refugees from the MC states are now compressed into the geographic center of the continent. To the west lies the Chinese Army. To the east lies the UN/Russian army.

This is called a “Strategic Flanking”. In fact, this would be the largest strategic flanking in world history. To be “flanked” is very, very bad. If you are fighting any sort of battle, you want to keep your adversary in front of you at all times and your sides CLEAR. You must NEVER allow the adversary to move along your sides (flanks). Combat tacticians are CONSTANTLY looking for a way to move their troops in such a way so that they “gain the flanks”. Once a force loses its flanks, it becomes nearly impossible (without a massive advantage in weaponry) to escape. The most famous tactical flanking in history was executed by Hannibal at the Battle of Cannae in 216 BC. With fewer than 40,000 men, Hannibal drew the Roman army of 90,000 men into his center, and then wrapped around their flanks on both sides, thus forming a semi‐circle around the Romans. By doing this, Hannibal was able to COMPLETELY DESTROY the Roman army with fewer than HALF the number of men.

The most famous strategic flanking to date is probably the flanking of Nazi Germany by the Soviet army to the east and the Allies to the west. While this involved the entire European continent, the flanking I describe above on the North American continent would dwarf the Nazi flanking in size and scope. It is not hard to imagine a massive Chinese force pushing and compressing the SAR from the west, eventually wrapping around the northern flank, with a UN/Russian force compressing from New England in a southwesterly direction, pushing the people of the SAR south towards the Gulf of Mexico – which is at this moment being taken out of strategic play by the Russians via the cold lodgements of Cuba and Venezuela – and utter defeat.

Given these obvious tactical realities, I hope that one and all now see that the TERRITORIAL BOUNDARIES OF THE FIRST AMERICAN REPUBLIC MUST BE PRESERVED. Integrated sovereignty MUST remain intact from “sea to shining sea”. Amicable divorce is NOT an option. We can not allow Marxism to establish any quarter, even in the spirit of “compromise” and the avoidance of possible hostilities, because that “compromise” and “avoidance” would be to sign our own death warrants, and the death warrant of Western Civilization. It would be far better to fight a civil war of territorial preservation than to fight a war against a conquering Sino‐Russian invasion.

How sick is it that I have to post this crap? I’m a 33 year old single woman (when this was written). I should be planning my next business move, or thinking about recreational travel. Instead, I’m standing here, mid‐morning on a Wednesday, writing essays on secession dynamics and military tactics for the North American theater. This is the living, breathing definition of FUBAR. God save us.

——————————

Because this clip can never, ever be posted too much, here is Larry Grathwohl, the man who infiltrated the Weather Underground, outlining Bill Ayers’ and Bernadine Dohrn’s plan for balkanizing the former U.S. territory after overthowing and collapsing the Republic, and delegating administration of the quadrants of the landmass to Russia, China, Cuba and Vietnam. Since Cuba and Vietnam are mere satellites, the dynamic today is clearly that of a Sino-Russian axis.

Bill Ayers, you will remember, wrote Obama’s fictional “autobiography” Dreams From My Father, and Ayers’ family supported and groomed Obama for the Presidency from the time he was a teenager. It appears that Chicago Communist Frank Marshall Davis handed Obama off to the Ayers group, partnered with the satanist faggot Cardinal Joseph Bernardin in Chicago in the early 1980s. Bernadine Dohrn’s fingerprints are also all over Obama’s course syllabus when he was an adjunct lecturer at the University of Chicago. And of course, Obama’s entire adult life and political career has had Ayers and Dohrn as the main enablers and drivers.

Oh, and just as an aside, Grathwohl’s eyewitness testimony confirms that Ayers and Dohrn have planned on and anticipated the need to murder fully 10%-15% of the population as “unreformable, die-hard capitalists.” In the early 1980s when this interview was recorded, the population of the U.S. was 250 million, thus Grathwohl’s number of 25 million that Ayers and Dohrn were planning on killing. Today, that number would be 30-45 million Americans that will need to be “eliminated” in order to quash the “counter-revolution.”

Today is the feast of St. Polycarp.

“St. Polycarp was a disciple of the Apostle John, and was consecrated by him Bishop of Smyrna. He was reckoned the chief of all the Christians of Asia, because he had been taught by several of the Apostles, and other persons who had seen the Lord.

During the reign of the Emperor Antoninus Pius, and while Anicetus presided over the Church of Rome, Polycarp came thither to discuss some questions regarding the time for observing Easter. He found some heretics at Rome, who had been led astray by the doctrine of Marcion and Valentine, and brought back many of them to the faith.

One day Marcion met him by accident, and said to him: Do you recognise me? whereto he replied: I recognise the devil’s eldest son.

Some time after, in the reign of Mark Antonine and Lucius Aurelius Commodus, during the fourth persecution since Nero, when the Pro-consul was ruling in Smyrna, the whole population being assembled in the theatre, clamoured against Polycarp, and to please them he was burnt. He wrote an extremely useful Epistle to the Philippians, which is publicly read in the Churches of Asia even to this day.”

Roman Proconsul: “Then do this, old man. Just swear by the spirit of the emperor and that will be sufficient [to prevent your execution].”

St. Polycarp: “If you imagine for a moment that I would do that, then I think you pretend that you don’t know who I am. Hear it plainly. I am a Christian.”

Thou art a vessel of election, holy Paul the Apostle: thou art indeed worthy to be glorified. The preacher of truth, and doctor of the Gentiles in faith and truth. Through thee all the Gentiles have known the grace of God. Intercede for us to God, who chose thee. (Tract of the Mass of the Feast of the Conversion of St. Paul)

Today is the Feast of the Conversion of St. Paul. Here’s what St. Paul DIDN’T say as he was laid out supine on the Damascus road:

“But, but, but, I’ve worked for YEARS to get to this level of seniority in the Temple bureaucracy. I’ve just reached the highest pay grade for my department! I’ll lose my pension! And the health insurance – I CAN’T walk away from the health insurance. You don’t understand.  Full dental! FULL. DENTAL.! Hey! Dontcha think I would be FAR more effective working, you know, on the INSIDE? Huh? Huh? Like a mole. I could be an incredibly effective mole, passing info from the inside out, and then, you know, steering and shaping the narrative internally?

Right? See where I’m going with this? Right?

No. Being converted means BEING CONVERTED, not half-in half-out.

St. Paul, pray for us.

Happy Feast Day.

Golden cup depicting St. Emerentiana being stoned to death at the tomb of St. Agnes

Today is the feast of St. Emerentiana.  While her name might sound obscure, she is actually a very important saint, and I look forward to her feast every year.  St. Emerentiana is described as the “friend” or “foster sister” of St. Agnes of Rome, whose feast we just celebrated on January 21st.  St. Agnes was a young virgin of Roman nobility, who refused to marry and was executed after many torments, including being dragged naked through the streets to a brothel. Despite all the efforts of her tormenters, her virginity and modesty were maintained throughout her martyrdom, and finally giving up, her torturers beheaded her.  You can visit St. Agnes’ skull in the church of St. Agnes in the very famous Piazza Navona in Rome.  St. Agnes is commemmorated in the Canon of every Mass at the Nobis quoque peccatoribus, which is one of the “landmarks” in the Mass wherein the priest says the words out loud, not only so that the faithful might confirm exactly where the priest is in the order of the Mass, but also because the Nobis quoque peccatoribus is one of the NINE instances in the Mass wherein Our Lord offers His forgiveness of our venial sins.  Here is the text of the prayer, which comes after the Consecration – so remember, when this prayer is said, Our Lord is physically substantially present on the altar in the transubstiated host – now Body – and chalice – now Blood, and space-time has been manipulated by God Almighty such that the moment of Calvary intersects and touches that moment of “now”, and thus we are literally present at the foot of the Cross.

Nobis quoque peccatoribus famulis tuis, de multitudine miserationum tuarum sperantibus, partem aliquam, et societatem donare digneris, cum tuis sanctis Apostolis et Martyribus, cum Joanne, Stephano, Matthia, Barnaba, Ignatio, Alexandro, Marcellino, Petro, Felicitate, Perpetua, Agatha, Lucia, Agnete, Caecilia, Anastasia, et omnibus Sanctis tuis, intra quorum nos consortium, non aestimator meriti sed veniae, quaesumus, largitor admitte. Per Christum Dominum nostrum.

To us also, thy sinful servants, confiding in the multitude of Thy mercies, vouchsafe to grant some part and fellowship with Thy holy Apostles and Martrys; with John, Stephen, Matthias, Barnabas, Ignatius, Alexander, Marcellinus, Peter, Felicity, Perpetua, Agatha, Lucy, Agnes, Cecily, Anastasia, and with all Thy saints, into whose company we beseech Thee to admit us, not weighing our merits, but pardoning our offenses.

When the priest says aloud, “Nobis quoque peccatoribus”, it is a pious practice for the faithful praying along with the Mass silently on their knees in the nave, to bow their heads and strike their breast, as this is the fifth of nine moments of contrition and, if the person is so disposed, forgiveness of their venial sins in the Mass.

And little St. Agnes is included in the list of saints invoked by name.

But back to St. Emerentiana.  St. Emerentina’s mother was actually St. Agnes’ wetnurse, and thus what would have been called a “slave” of St. Agnes’ noble family, but really such employees of noble families like these were considered part of the family.  So, St. Agnes and St. Emerentiana, while not blood relatives, were more than friends in the sense that St. Emerentiana was a legal part of St. Agnes’ father’s household.  And, naturally they were playmates and friends, but with a decidedly sisterly dynamic between them.  St. Agnes had told St. Ementiana of Our Lord and His Holy Church, and St. Emerentiana wanted to likewise be a Christian, and was thus receiving convert instruction in preparation for her baptism.  Back in those days, this period of instruction lasted years, as it was deemed absolutely essential that catechumens know and hold the Catholic faith whole and entire.  They had to know what exactly they were professing, and be willing to die for it.  If a catechumen were poorly or incompletely catechized, the odds of them apostatizing under threat or torture obviously increased, and such apostasies were profoundly scandalous. Furthermore, as we have discussed previously, hell for the baptized is far worse than hell for the unbaptized precisely because the baptized soul will know, for all eternity, that they had the Beatific Vision, eternity with God, in their grasp, and they lost it by their own free choice to turn their back on Christ in favor of indulging their appetite for sin.

So, St. Agnes was murdered, and a few days later, St. Emerentiana went to her tomb to pray and mourn.  A group of pagans saw St. Emerentiana weeping and praying at St. Agnes’ tomb, and filled with murderous hatred, they stoned her to death.

So, what do you think?  St. Emerentiana had not yet been baptized.  Was she saved?  The Church says, “Yes!” St. Emerentiana is, in fact, a virgin martyr.  She is an example of what is called The Baptism of Desire, and also in this case because she was murdered for her faith, Baptism of Blood.  She had the faith.  She loved Our Lord and His Holy Catholic Church.  She was actively in the process of being catechized so that she could receive the Sacraments of Initiation.  She wasn’t just a “nice person” who nebulously “tried to live a good life”. She was specifically in the process of entering The One True Church.  And since Our Lord is a Person, and not an impersonal legal code or philosophy, and since Our Lord is not a jerk, and is not limited by His Own Sacraments, He can do what He wants, which is ALWAYS perfectly JUST and MERCIFUL.

Now, there is a heresy floating around that was invented by a priest in the 20th century, a Fr. Leonard Feeney, who fell under the influence of… wait for it… a woman, that is called “Feeneyism”. 

The heresy of Feeneyism revolves around the doctrine of Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus (EENS), which means, “Outside The Church There Is No Salvation”.  Feeneyites argue, very unsuccessfully, that God Almighty is, in fact, limited by His Own Sacraments, and that it is completely impossible for someone who never received Water Baptism to be saved.  So what do Feeneyites say about not just St. Emerentiana, but the other saints that The Church has lifted to the altar? namely, Saints Victor, Rhais and Hericlides, who were all catechumens, and even an unnamed soldier in England during the reign of Diocletian who was converted by St. Alban as the soldier was escorting St. Alban to his execution.  The soldier was thus executed with St. Alban, and The Church thus holds this soldier, St. Alban’s companion, as having been Baptized By Blood.

The Feeneyites tend to stare at their shoes, and then mumble something about these people being “baptized by the angels”.  Well, we can see where this leads.  If the angels come down and baptize with water, then why don’t the angels baptize babies that are about to be murdered by abortion?  And if the angels DO preternaturally baptize babies with water, then why, exactly shouldn’t a woman murder her own child – after all, if the angels swoop down and “baptize” the child, the child goes instantly to heaven, right?  So, yeah, the heresy of Feeneyism leads very quickly to abortion being the greatest act of love and mercy a woman can do for her child.  Murder the child and guarantee it heaven.  Because, folks, ALL HERESIES, BECAUSE THEY ARE BASED ON A FALSE BASE PREMISE, INEVITABLY LEAD TO TOTAL INVERSION. Some heresies only take one or two logical steps to end up at child murder or the like, while some are more subtle and take a few more logical steps, but they ALL end up in hell.  There is only One Truth, and this is why Our Lord said, “Enter ye in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there are who go in thereat. How narrow is the gate, and strait is the way that leadeth to life: and few there are that find it!”

If you would like to read more about the doctrine of Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus, which is so critical, and which is openly denied today by Antipope Robert “FtR” Prevost after his beloved mentor, Antipope Bergoglio, and the rest of the Freemasonic infiltrators of The Church, I wrote a piece a while back that tries to explain it a bit.  In contemporary parlance, the denial of EENS is called the heresy of “Universalism” and “Indifferentism”.  Long story short, of course there is no salvation outside The Church.  Heaven is The Church Triumphant, that is all the angels and saints INDWELLING inside The Triune Godhead, eternally adoring God “from the inside”, offering the endless Sacrifice of Praise and Thanksgiving.  There is no domain of heaven outside of this.  There is certainly no “Hindu heaven” or “Buddhist heaven” or “Protestant heaven” or “atheist heaven”.  Everyone in heaven is Catholic, because the Catholic Church, Triumphant, is The Father’s House of Many Mansions. And there is no other House.  There is no other Truth. Only hell exists outside of the Beatific Vision.  The domain of hell called “The Limbo of the Innocents” does not involve torment, but it is hell because it is outside of God.  The hell of the damned, which, sadly, most people probably end up in, involves torment because the people there are aware of the fact that they will never see God, and that they COULD have been saved, but freely chose not to be.  God, in His mercy, allows these lost souls to be tormented by demons, and by each other, AS A MERCIFUL DISTRACTION.  Sit in stillness with that until it sinks in.  Not only should it drive home how truly awful eternal damnation will be, but more importantly, it should drive home how incredibly, incomprehensibly GOOD heaven is.  Heaven is so good that the worst possible torment would be for a damned soul to spend all eternity, alone and undistracted, pondering what they will never see by their own free choice – God Himself.

I hope this helps.

St. Emerentiana, pray for us.
Saints Victor, Rhais, Hericlides and the Companion of St. Alban, pray for us.

Christ, have mercy on us.

Dear Ann,

So, apparently you come across as “not kind, nice or helpful”?

Interesting perspective.

In my humble observation you certainly bring a very uncomfortable truth hammer to anybody that is lukewarm in their faith, indifferent toward current events, and mindlessly following what they’re told whether it be by corrupted church leaders, politicians of any stripe, or various talking heads/media entities pushing their evil lies.

Personally, I wouldn’t call it “nice” when your brutally honest words or extremely clear thinking:
• Influenced me to not only pull my kids out of public schools, but then pull them out of the local ‘Catholic’ schools when I smelled sulfur and move them to a very strict Catholic school over half an hour away from home
• Get my sinning self back in the confessional after a several decade ‘break’
• Ignore the coof death machine and reject the jab, and use Ivermectin to treat my family (IMO saving my wife’s life and that of a close friend who would have ended up hospitalized and subjected to ‘care’ ending with toe tags)
• Brought clarity as to why obvious heretics Jorge and Robert are NOT under supernatural protection, thus preventing thoughts of leaving the Church (i.e., if they were actually valid popes, then papal infallibility would observably be false doctrine; what else might be false?)
Anyway, that’s just a few examples of the not-nice impact you’ve had on one guy – but it was certainly a loving impact if your intent is trying to help souls avoid the road to hell. I think you’ll be dumbfounded when (IF… the question is still open! -AB) you eventually achieve the beatific vision and look back at the full impact of your time here.

Please keep on being “not nice”, including when you publicly pray for the souls of those serving the prince of lies (that they convert, repent, die in a state of grace …)

God bless you and thank you for what you do.

15 years and mumblemumble pounds ago… my second ever YouTube video. Man, this hits hard given the events of the past decade and a half. Ooof.

Dear Ann,

He was not from Kansas as you are, but rather Wales. And he’s not “retired,” only obscure.
Still, St. Lawdog makes me think of you. Don’t know quite why.
Maybe Ike has something to do with it.
Happy feast.

Fr. A

She seems nice….

I know all about Martin Luther, I’ve heard all the stories, it’s all the same tho
We are all sinners, but hey, maybe you’re not, maybe you’re perfect

Nope, you have too much arrogance, snarkiness, sarcasm, all those personality things
that I personally can’t stand in a woman.
You don’t like anyone to criticize you, you’re a know it all Catholic that doesn’t even act Catholic.

What I think of you is that you are not kind, nice or helpful to the people you ‘think’ are not to your liking,
no clue why, but you lady, are a fake a roni.

total fake.

bossy woman with a chip on her shoulder.

no, I will not pray for you, God will take care of it.

—B.S. (her actual initials, I promise)

That Ann is such a fake!!

Whenever whatever happens, happens, and sanity is restored, a Day One item on the to-do list will be to cancel this joke of a “holiday”.

His name was MICHAEL, not Martin Luther. “Martin Luther” was a stage name. Klassy.

He was a serial adulterer.

He was a sodomite.

He was a plagiarist.

Come to think of it, he’s quite an apt mascot for the post-Christian west. A fake, gay, faithless, idiot heretic. Chef’s kiss.

Happy Feast of Saints Marius, Martha, Audifax, and Abachum Martyrs, and of St. Canute, Martyr.

When I was a kid, we had two Mexican fast-food joints: Taco Grande and Taco John’s.  Then, when I was about ten, Taco Bell came to town and built from a dirt-start a brand new Taco Bell on a formerly empty lot.  I never liked Taco Bell, and never ate there.  I preferred Taco John’s.

Fast-forward in the story 12-15 years.  I am now in my early 20s, have been gone from the Kansas City area for many years, and have given exactly zero thought to the hometown Taco Bell.  I get a call from someone back in the ancestral homeland who tells me, “Hey, they razed the Taco Bell – went in with dozers and scraped it.”

“What happened? Did it burn?”  After all, why would they raze a building that was less than 15 years old?  Surely there must have been a fire, and razing the remains was the cheapest option, right?

Wrong.

It turned out that inspectors had discovered that the building was so filthy and thus so overrun with cockroaches that even intense treatments from professional fumigation and pest-control firms were ineffective in clearing the building of cockroaches.  So, the only path forward was to raze the building, haul away the cockroach-infested debris, apply pesticide to the pad and surrounding area, and build a brand new building.

Folks, this is what is going to have to happen in Rome.  Because people have failed to take any meaningful steps against the infiltration of sodomites into The Church, and especially in Rome itself, Rome is now like the Taco Bell – the only way to clear Rome of the faggots is to destroy Rome.

The faggots are absolutely everywhere in Rome, and as much as it pains me to say it, some of the worst, most spectacularly evil, most notorious, sacrilegious, and most enthusiastic of them are on the so-called “right” or “conservative” or “traditional” side of the spectrum.  A friend who works in Rome told me that his black pill moment was when he realized that there was a “gay conservative German” faction inside the Curia. And it makes sense.  Where can satan still do the most damage? Where does it benefit satan to hide at this late hour? Amongst the Remnant Church.  As long as they remain hidden, like the filthy cockroaches they are, they can continue to privately scandalize, subvert and sabotage.  If they are publicly exposed, the resulting scandal will cause even more people to either leave The Church (usually for Eastern Orthodoxy or sedevacantist cults) or to lose their faith entirely. Either way, satan wins.

Sixty years of looking the other way, not saying anything, treating sodomy as a joke or a novelty, when it is, in fact, a never-sufficiently-execrated depravity and a capital crime, and specifically in Rome, where faggots are literally meeting up for sacrilegious sodomy INSIDE ST. PETER’S BASILICA, and then turning around and serving the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass or Divine Liturgy a few hours later across town, now the cockroaches are coming home to roost. It is too late get rid of them one-by-one, because they saturate the structure.

If you do your duty and keep the structure clean, you won’t get cockroaches.  If you aggressively attack and exterminate cockroaches at their first appearance, you have a chance to save the structure.  If you pretend not to see them, laugh them off, or even call them “cute” and “harmless”, or worst of all say, “That isn’t a cockroach!  That is a fluffy little bunny! How dare you say that sweet, innocent, fluffy little bunny is a cockroach!”, they will eventually necessitate the complete demolition of the structure.

“Those aren’t roaches! They’re fluffy bunnies that talk funny and act like girls because they are so intelligent and misunderstood!”

And only after the complete destruction of the structure will rebuilding be possible. And that is where we are.  We have failed spectacularly to keep the Church clean, and when the first signs came, we denied there was a problem.  Now, God will do what we refused to do.

The aching tragedy in all of this is that a Taco Bell can be thrown back up in a matter of weeks.  The Sistine Chapel and the rest of the artistic, cultural and ecclesial patrimony of Rome can never be replaced.  But, as we all heard when we were children, “THIS is why we can’t have nice things – because you won’t take care of them.” Indeed.  The chastisement is coming, and it is for all of us, because we have all been complicit in our silence and negligence.  In The House of The Lord, EVERYONE is responsible for helping to keep things clean.

“The but******rs, all together.” —Monsignor Marco Agostini, December ARSH 2025
