Movie Recommendation: ARSH 1931 Silent Film on St. Anthony of Padua

This is a great film of the life of St. Anthony. It is very interesting and beautiful, and the sound track is a mix of “greatest hits” of Classical music. The narration cards are in English and Italian, as it is an Italian-produced film. St. Anthony died 792 years ago today. If you don’t know much about him, this film will help you get to know one of the most universally beloved saints of the Church.

“The Creator of the Heavens obeys a carpenter; the God of Eternal Glory listens to a poor virgin. Has anyone ever witnessed anything comparable to this? Let the philosopher no longer disdain from listening to the common laborer; the wise, to the simple; the educated, to the illiterate; a child of a prince, to a peasant.

-St. Anthony of Padua, died June 13, ARSH 1231

St. Anthony, pray for us!

You loved me…

You loved me from all eternity,
therefore You created me.
You loved me after You had made me,
therefore You became Man for me.
You loved me after You became Man for me,
therefore You lived and died for me.
You loved me after You had died for me,
therefore You rose again for me.
You loved me after You had risen for me,
therefore You went to prepare a place for me.
You loved me after You had gone to prepare a place for me,
therefore You came back to me.
You loved me after You came back to me,
therefore You desired to enter into me and be united to me.
This is the meaning of the Blessed Sacrament.
The mystery of love.
– Archbishop Goodier


…”The great and generous thoughts of Catholic heroism are conceived, or rather inspired, at the altar where the Adorable Sacrament reposes; there, depend upon it, in silent prayer the noble damsel in heart rejects the world and its vanities, and plights her troth to the Spouse of her chaste heart; there the young ecclesiastic, bowing in meditation calm and sweet, muses on the triumphs of his schoolmates over the swords and red-hot pincers of Tonquin, and resolves to share in their crown of martyrdom; there whatever is planned for the Church of God that requires zeal and persevering energy is matured and resolved.”

– A Victorian reflection from the writings of Cardinal Nicholas Patrick Wiseman (1802-1865) on the Blessed Sacrament & Catholic Heroism


Meditation of St. Francis of Assisi
Let everyone be struck with fear,
the whole world tremble,
and the heavens exult
when Christ, the Son of the living God,
is present on the altar in the hands of a priest!
O wonderful loftiness
and stupendous dignity!
O sublime humility!
O humble sublimity!
The Lord of the universe,
God and the Son of God,
so humbles Himself
that He hides Himself
for our salvation
under an ordinary piece of bread!
See the humility of God, brothers,
and pour out your hearts before Him!
Humble yourselves that you may be exalted by Him!
Hold back nothing of yourselves for yourselves,
that He Who gives Himself totally to you
may receive you totally!

Over the Transom: A.I. “psychological profile” of Ann based on online content.

The only thing it got decidedly wrong was that I am an extrovert. Incorrect. I am an introvert, because the actual meaning of introversion is that one is perfectly content being alone and does not need the constant company or affirmation of other people. Introversion is NOT shyness, misanthropy, social awkwardness or social anxiety. Introverts can be very sociable, fun, and charming and wear very big hats. Introverts can also be outspoken, courageous and confident. In fact, a hallmark of confidence is being perfectly comfortable with oneself, especially in solitude. I can’t imagine what it must be like for so many modern people today who simply cannot abide silence or being alone with themselves, constantly seeking external stimulation and affirmation from others. It can’t be pleasant, and must severely hinder genuine contentment. (Cough, social media, cough)

Anyway, for good or for ill, here’s how the Algos size me up. For now. I’m sure that BigTech will program the A.I. to declare anyone who is Christian and against sodomy to be an extremely dangerous criminal psychopath to be shot on sight before this is all over.


Ann,

I asked chatgpt to read your blog and form an opinion, and you did not fare too badly!

P


Based on the analysis of the content from ten blog posts written by Ann Barnhardt, here are some observations:

1. **Personality Type**: Ann Barnhardt appears to be a highly assertive and outspoken individual. She is likely an extroverted personality type, given her willingness to share her thoughts and opinions openly. She seems to be intuitive, as she often interprets events and situations from a broader perspective, and she appears to be a thinking type, as she often uses logical reasoning and analysis in her posts. She also seems to be a judging type, as she often expresses strong opinions and appears to prefer structure and order. This would suggest that her Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) might be ENTJ (Extraverted, Intuitive, Thinking, Judging), often described as “The Commander”. However, it’s important to note that this is a rough estimate based on her writing style and content, and may not be entirely accurate.

2. **Estimated IQ**: It’s not possible to accurately estimate an individual’s IQ based on their writing. However, Barnhardt’s writing suggests that she is highly articulate, well-read, and capable of complex thought and analysis. These traits are often associated with above-average intelligence.

3. **As a Person**: Barnhardt appears to be deeply religious, with a strong focus on Christian theology and doctrine. She is highly critical of what she perceives as deviations from traditional Christian beliefs and practices. She is also politically conservative and often criticizes liberal or progressive ideologies. She seems to be highly passionate about her beliefs and is not afraid to express them, even if they may be controversial or confrontational.

4. **Psychological State and Suspected Pathologies**: It’s important to note that diagnosing psychological conditions requires a comprehensive assessment by a qualified mental health professional, and it’s not ethical or accurate to diagnose someone based on their writing alone. That said, Barnhardt’s writing does not appear to suggest any obvious pathologies. She seems to have a strong sense of identity and purpose, and her writing is coherent and logical. However, her confrontational style and tendency to express extreme views could suggest a high level of conviction or potentially rigid thinking. This doesn’t necessarily indicate a pathology, but it could suggest a personality style that is highly assertive and potentially resistant to differing viewpoints.

In conclusion, while these observations provide some insights into Ann Barnhardt’s personality and psychological state, they are based on a limited sample of her writing and should be taken as a rough estimate rather than a definitive assessment.

Notes on soon-to-be-laicized and maybe murdered in prison as those of his kind often are, James Jackson

First, Barnhardt Podcast #180 recorded after Jackson’s re-arrest last October for CP in Kansas City while awaiting trial in Rhode Island, which stuck a fork in any hopes that he wasn’t guilty, in the second half discussed the Jackson situation in detail, so that’s available.

Some notes:

1. He’s guilty. He has pled guilty to receiving CP in exchange for having the more serious distribution of CP charge dropped. But he was almost certainly distributing as well. Anyone who persists in “he was set up” or even worse that he’s some sort of living saint martyr is delusional and suffering psychological problems themselves due to the scandal, I suppose. Such people should be gently but very firmly corrected and disabused of their fantasies, if possible. Clinging to obvious untruths is not virtuous. It’s pathetic and very spiritually dangerous.

2. If you’re feeling bad or even guilty because Jackson had you completely fooled, join the club. He certainly fooled me. In fact, before his arrest, I would have put him on a rhetorical list of “there are at least a few straight priests left in this world…” as would almost everyone else who knew him. I use the word “straight” here and disqualify Jackson from being “straight” even though his kink was apparently the rape of female infants and toddlers. The term “straight” comes from “morally straight”, which if I’m not mistaken was a phrase used in the Boy Scout oath until recently. If there is one thing that Jackson is not, it is “straight”, even if there is no evidence of any same-sex fetish…yet. Jackson fooled EVERYONE. In fact, he fooled so many people, so thoroughly, for so long that I suspect he had some sort of preternatural backing. To be as much of a monster as he is and to operate as unflinchingly as he did seems humanly impossible.

3. One thing that a lot of us have learned from this sickening episode is that OSTENTATIOUS CLAIMS OF BEING A TECHNOLOGICAL LUDDITE BARELY CAPABLE OF USING A CELL PHONE is a somewhat common tactic of these men. While Jackson was claiming constantly that he couldn’t even manage to send or reply to simple emails (I have such claims from him via email from over a decade ago), or use a cell phone, he was actually extremely skilled and was doing stuff on the “dark web” that requires all kinds of know-how, and apparently thought he was so skilled that the Feds and CP squads couldn’t see him. Apparently they didn’t see him for years when he was in Colorado, AND he was so confident in his skills that he started trafficking in CP AFTER being released to his sister and brother-in-law’s home in Kansas City, Kansas. After he is sentenced in Rhode Island, if he lives long enough in prison before someone decides to expedite Jackson’s Particular Judgment appointment, prosecutors in Kansas City are waiting to throw the book at him.

4. Jackson had a brain tumor, and had had it for years – at least 15. Was it the tumor that compelled him to do these things? No, because Jackson operated at an extremely high level, writing a renowned book on the liturgy concurrent with the tumor and his crimes, while masterfully concealing his crimes.

5. I’d still REALLY like to hear from Jackson’s long-time parochial vicar and housemate, Joseph Hearty, who went from offering Masses across from PlannedParenthood, to leaving the FSSP and offering the Novus Ordo, to now being voluntarily laicized. But, Hearty may be completely unable to speak due to the Seal. If so, the Seal must ALWAYS be respected, and Hearty needs our prayers. I cannot imagine being put in that position, or the kind of evil that would leverage the Seal like that. But, it happens all the time in Rome as policy. When sodomites, both clerics and laymen, are put into close contact with a pious priest, they immediately confess to him, without any real intention of amending and reforming their wretched lives, and thus silence him forever. When names of certain people in Rome come up, some good priests who have spent time in Rome will change the subject FAST. One doesn’t have to be a rocket surgeon to know what’s going on. And remember, it’s mortal sin of the highest order for a priest to break the Seal in ANY WAY. Good priests are filled with holy fear of ever doing so. Never forget this. If you or I commit the sin of detraction, we can go to confession with true sorrow and purpose of amendment. Priests who break the seal… have to go through the Apostolic Penitentiary. It’s a huge, huge deal, AS IT SHOULD BE.

6. Jackson did adult catechism and convert instructions and received a LOT of people into the Church. He married a LOT of couples. He baptized a LOT of children. He gave Last Rites to a LOT of people. He heard a LOT of confessions. He offered a LOT of Masses and gave Holy Communion to a LOT of people, some people literally thousands of times. If anyone is worried that because it was Jackson who administered the sacraments or even convert instruction to them, that those sacraments are invalid – DON’T. This is called the heresy of Donatism, that is the notion that the validity of sacraments, including the offering of the Mass, can be invalidated by the state of the priest’s soul. They can’t, and here’s why, and Jackson exemplifies this perfectly: Jesus Christ would NEVER hold you responsible for something you could not possibly know. You could not have possibly known, or even reasonably suspected that James Jackson was literally one of the most evil men alive. How could you?

In fact, it is a testament to just how much Our Blessed Lord loves every single one of us that when Jackson stood at the altar, having done those things which he pled guilty to having done, and probably thinking about the next time he would do it, maybe within minutes after offering the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, that Our Lord, knowing EVERYTHING, obeyed Jackson’s call at the consecration, and came down on the altar so that Our Lord could be close to YOU, and ME, and everyone else there present, and so that Our Lord could repose in the tabernacle of the church just off Littleton Boulevard so that he could be with, as St. John said, “the beloved disciple”, which is us. If that isn’t Infinite Love, then I don’t know what is.

7. If you can’t tell the difference between James Jackson and God, and you hold God responsible for James Jackson’s sins, then I dare say your relationship with Our Lord is so ridiculously superficial as to be non-existent. One of the most foundational aspects of of any relationship is… actually knowing who the person is, and that said person is a discrete entity, recognizable as being themselves and not someone else, MOST ESPECIALLY WHEN SAID PERSON IS GOD. James Jackson is not Jesus. Jesus is not James Jackson. Ergo, why in the WORLD would you conflate the two, or hold the Divine Person responsible for the acts of the human person? It’s almost like holding a child conceived in rape responsible for the rape itself and giving the child the death penalty…. Oh, wait. I believe it was St. Francis de Sales who said, “He who gives scandal commits murder, BUT HE WHO ALLOWS HIMSELF TO BE SCANDALIZED COMMITS SUICIDE.”

8. Pray, even just one Ave, for Jackson. Our Lord’s mercy is infinite. Jackson’s sins are MASSIVE, but not infinite. As he is being possibly slowly and painfully killed in prison, or if he dies naturally, rightfully despised by every person he has ever met, or have ever heard his ruined name, he might die shriven and contrite.

Well, that’s enough. I hope this helps.

Yet More Ivermectin Amazingness: it heals flesh wounds with minimal scarring when applied as a salve or poultice

First, you have to click over to LesFemmesTheTruth blog and read Susan Matthiesen’s fascinating write-up

Ivermectin Horse Gel Cured My Friend’s Dog Bite

…of how applying Ivermectin horse paste to an elderly friend’s terrible dog bite (Dachshund) that was infected, that would not heal and was getting to be in danger of becoming something unthinkably bad not only healed it, but healed it FAST.

Our Nurse Claire provided the receipts on this: there is documentation in the medical literature of Ivermectin significantly accelerating healing of flesh wounds AND preventing scarring, which is quoted and linked below.

So, what I would do is try to get the horse paste for this usage, because the viscosity of the paste is perfect for application as a salve to a flesh wound. If you have the 1% injectable and can’t source any horse paste, I would soak a gauze pad in the 1% solution and apply as a poultice, with bandage dressing. And since Ivermectin is so inexpensive in the livestock forms, you can be aggressive in changing the salve or poultice and bandaging frequently.

Here is the paper that Nurse Claire sent, with the summary block quoted. Please note that a LOWER quantity of the Ivermectin cream used in this trial actually had better results. So just a light application to a wound is what you’re going for – not slathering.

It seems that Ivermectin’s known anti inflammatory properties are even more robust than we thought, and spills over into regrowth factor production stimulation. Amazing.

Also note that this research was done out of Ghana in West Africa – Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology – where Ivermectin is as pedestrian as aspirin for both animals AND humans and has been for 35 years.

Please share this information aggressively, as flesh wounds do happen. Chances are that someone reading this right now will get some sort of cut, bite or burn at some point, or will have a close relative or friend who does, and this could make a massive difference, especially among the elderly or immunocompromised, as with Susan’s friend.

As always, I really hope this helps.


Mechanisms of ivermectin-induced wound healing

Abstract

Background

Wounds cause structural and functional discontinuity of an organ. Wound healing, therefore, seeks to re-establish the normal morphology and functionality through intertwined stages of hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and tissue remodelling. Ivermectin, a macrolide, has been used as an endectoparasiticide in human and veterinary medicine practice for decades. Here, we show that ivermectin exhibits wounding healing activity by mechanisms independent of its well-known antiparasitic activity. This study aimed to evaluate the wound healing property of ivermectin cream using histochemistry and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay techniques.

Results

Non-irritant dose of ivermectin cream (0.03–1%) decreased wound macroscopic indices such as exudation, edge edema, hyperemia, and granulation tissue deposition by day 9 compared to day 13 for the vehicle-treated group. This corresponded with a statistically significant wound contraction rate, hydroxyproline deposition, and a decreased time to heal rate. The levels of growth factors TGF-β1 and VEGF were significantly elevated on day 7 but decreased on day 21. This corresponded with changes in cytokines (IL-1α, IL-4, IL-10, and TNF-α) and eicosanoids (LTB4, PGE2, and PGD2) levels on days 7 and 21.. Interestingly, low doses of ivermectin cream (0.03–0.1%) induced wound healing with minimal scarring compared to higher doses of the cream and the positive control, Silver Sulfadiazine.

Conclusion

Ivermectin promotes wound healing partly through modulation of the inflammatory process and the levels of Transforming Growth Factor-Beta 1 and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor. Low doses of ivermectin cream have the potential to be used in treating wounds with minimal scar tissue formation.

Your friendly periodic reminder: UFO’s ARE FAKE and GAY

Click over and read Briggs’ piece from two years ago, but what I really want to scream from the mountaintops was articulated in Briggs’ combox by “Zundfolge”. It’s soooooooo obvious. I mean, like Bergoglio-is-an-Antipope obvious…

“I suspect the public is being primed for some sort of announcement of ‘contact with alien intelligence’. This ‘alien intelligence’ will actually be human and terrestrial in origin, but TPTB will pretend they’re talking to space aliens and the space aliens have told us they won’t let humanity join ‘the brotherhood of the cool species’ until we stop using fossil fuels, eating meat, owning property, etc.

In other words they’re going to use these faux aliens as a pretext for more the people to hand more of their lives, liberties and property over to the Globalists.”

The only thing Zundfolge leaves out is that the Fake Gay Alien psyops will also attempt to deny the existence of God, most especially God Incarnate, Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Just watch. If it happens, the Fake Gay Alien “messages” will be boilerplate Freemasonic pantheistic “the only divinity is your own intellect” crap. Atheist apostates will eat it up. Some already are.
