Hail Christopher Lee

 

We know this rightly acclaimed actor for his commanding presence and aura on the silver screen, where this horror legend often played the part of diabolic, supernatural, occult villains such as Dracula. But Lee was more than an actor. 

He was a direct descendant of the Holy Roman Emperor Charlemagne, an Anglo-Catholic(!), and a knowledgeable student of the occult, who felt the Wicker Man his best movie and Lord Summerisle his favorite part. He had this to say about diabolism:

I have met people who claim to be Satanists, who claim to be involved with black magic, who claimed that they not only knew a lot about it. But as I said, I certainly have not been involved and I warn all of you: never, never, never. You will not only lose your mind: you lose your soul.

 

He wasn't joking. Lee was also famous for his love of Metal, far out, and released several albums in that genre, such as Charlamagne, Omens of Death. He notoriously favored a double breasted blazer, for which we at the Compound applaud him.

Hail Christopher Lee,

The Fate of Empires

 

Have you heard of General Glubb, Glubb Pasha? A remarkable British soldier who served in World War I and went on to serve and lead the Arab Legion in the 1930s. He continued in this role until the 1950s and the arabization of the Legion's command, he died in 1986. That's by way of background, but when not soldiering Glubb was a scholar and historian who believed the rise and fall of empires followed a sevenfold pattern.

Namely: Outburst, Conquest, Commerce, Affluence, Intellect, Decadence, Collapse. Outburst, Conquest, Commerce and Affluence speak, I think, for themselves, Gilad Sommer describes the following two phases of the imperial trajectory:

The Age of Intellect – affluent young people now aim for the acquisition of knowledge and academic honors leading to new discoveries and technological progress. In a sort of nostalgic reverie, intellectuals begin to look back, document, and write down the history of the empire. A dangerous byproduct of the Age of Intellect is the belief that intellect by itself can solve the problems of the world.

“Any small activity requires for its survival a measure of self-sacrifice and service on the part of its members. (…). The impression that the situation can be saved by mental cleverness, without unselfishness or human self-dedication can only lead to collapse.” (Glubb)

The Age of Decadence – the empire is getting old… Civil dissensions arise. The boat is sinking, and instead of collaborating to repair it or to build a new one, political factions fight each other over the leftovers. Immigrants flood the cities. Memories of old rivalries reappear. In response to the sinking of the empire, the helpless citizens react with aggressiveness or with a mentality of “after me, the flood”, an atmosphere of pessimism and frivolity arises. People live for themselves and for the moment, thus accelerating the breaking apart of the empire.

missing Decadence but you get the drift

Thus in the end, through internal decay brought on ironically by success, the empire falls and is replaced. Glubb believed this process took around 250 years, and it's more than a little tempting to see ourselves in his Age of Decadence, the timing's even about right. But the question is, can we cheat the prophets and reverse the trend? That remains to be seen.

Lib It Up Fridays!

 

It's Lib It Up Fridays, and what can we say, the sheer horror.  Have you forgotten Benghazi? We haven't, and just think, this utter beast could have been our President. So we present to you Hillary Clinton, who scores an astounding 10 out of 10 Lib Points for bestial, demonic iniquity. But, dear friends, do feel free to disagree.

And for an excellent China brief, see VM here.

Nicki Minaj Rules

 

Talented, successful and loved pop star Nicki Minaj came out and said it, you can't vote Democrat and be a Christian. At least not with any integrity; their loud, enthusiastic support of killing babies in the womb alone seals that one. Republicans? Another if related story. That aside, here she is:

Nicki Minaj:

Any Christian who votes democrat again is a fool. They’re showing people that it’s ok to disrupt a church during worship. This is how they truly feel about you. The veil is lifted. No morals. No integrity. It’s not enough for them to have an opinion, they’ve escalated to physical intrusion of places of worship. The demons inside of them are so bothered. All the time.

 

Right on, Nicki. And look, here's an infovideo:

Never thought the Compound and associated DLC would be endorsing Minaj, quite the reverse, yet here we are. And what can we say? Starships were clearly meant to fly.

Vampire Ball

 

Back in 2024 Russian strongman Vladimir Putin characterized our beloved rulers as dancing in a 500 year long "vampire ball." This feast, he told the world, was about to end. On the face of it, Vladimirovic was referring to BRICS and Western colonialism. Too bad, by way of aside, that Russian imperialism didn't take back Constantinople for Christendom. Error.

But that's as maybe, it seems our rich beyond your dreams, transnational elite have literally been gorging on a feast of human flesh. See Epstein and all therein. But question, why has this only brought down "Prince" Andrew and, ahem, "Lord" Mandelson? What about Epstein's US punters, like the Clintons and Gates? The latter remain free as you like. Odd, ain't it.

Who knows, maybe it's some kind of weird MI6 glitch, maybe it'll bring down loathed and despised Two-Tier Kier and his crew of Rainbow Marxist opportunists. Maybe so, but in the meanwhile, a lid has been lifted on the whole depraved, demonic, stomach churning evil of these people. 

🇷🇺🚨‼️ Epstein’s files!?

“The western elites are used to stuff their bellies with human flesh and their pockets with money.

That vampire’s ball coming to an end”

Behold! The First Female Archbishop of Canterbury! - Wearing A Skinsuit?

 

Has the venerable if catastrophically shrinking Church of England been taken over by alien beings wearing "skin suits", as in Sarah Mullally? Sargon certainly seems to think so, and I reckon this short infovid pretty much sums it up. Check it out, not long:

A friend across the Pond commented, "Even the atheists get it." Protestant/Anglo-Catholic aside, he has a point. In the meanwhile, the COE, ACoC, TEC et al continue down their merry way to rainbow extinction, led by people who aren't actually Christians, though they dress up as that. Do they care? 

No, they are effectively or deliberately enemies of the Church and work to destroy her from within, just as their kind have worked to destroy all the institutions of what was once Western Christendom. Mark me, they will have their reward. 

Cheers,

LSP

Billie Eilish

 

Smash hit superstar pop legend Billie Eilish didn't waste her coveted Grammy Award, taking the golden opportunity to take a swipe at Law Enforcement enforcing our country's immigration laws. She's against that. A. Lot. Per the UK's Daily Mail:

As grateful as I feel, I honestly don’t feel like I need to say anything but that no one is illegal on stolen land. It’s just really hard to know what to say and what to do right now, and I just feel really hopeful in this room, and I feel like we just need to keep fighting and speaking up and protesting, and our voices really do matter, and the people matter.

And f*** ICE, that's all I'm gonna say. Sorry!

 

Stolen land? Eilish owns a multi-million dollar LA mansion, notoriously situated on land thieved from the Indian Tongva tribe by self-entitled Socialist celebrity millionaires. The Tongva commented:

Eilish has not contacted our tribe directly regarding her property, we do value the instance when public figures provide visibility to the true history of this country. It is our hope that in future discussions, the tribe can explicitly be referenced to ensure the public understands that the greater Los Angeles Basin remains Gabrieleno Tongva territory.

 

At the time of writing, Eilish hasn't returned her mansion to the Tongva tribe, curiously, even though she stole it from them and surrounded it by a high wall. Genius singer/songwriter Billie's worth a mere Rainbow Socialist 70MN$.

Excelsior!

Retreat & Candlemas

 

Last week was mostly taken up by our annual clergy retreat at the Jesuitical Montserrat on Lake Dallas. I tell you, it was a veritable snow-bound Narnia of a place this year, beautiful, if cold. Many of our priests couldn't make it, for fear of ice, but a good crew turned up and all had a convivial time.

There's a powerful rhythm to the event, shaped by the Mass and, for us, three-fold Office of Morning and Evening Prayer followed by Compline and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. By the end of it you could feel the Spirit move, a well needed reset.

Then it was back to the country and an annual meeting at Mission #2. Again, most convivial and a great congregation to serve amongst. There being no rest for the wicked, today was all about driving to Fort Worth for the Society of the Holy Cross' local chapter meeting and Mass, Candlemas.

What a good body of faithful priests, and I felt privileged to address them on "Prayers For The Departed," which sounds like an epitaph for the Anglo-Catholic Movement but is, in fact, the eighth part of our Rule. It concludes thus:

O Saviour of the world who by thy Cross and precious blood hath redeemed us, save us and help us we humbly beseech thee, O Lord.

 

And the Collect for Candlemas:

Almighty and everliving God, clothed in majesty, whose beloved Son was this day presented in the Temple, in substance of our flesh: grant that we may be presented to thee with pure and clean hearts, by thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

 

Bless you all,

Lib It Up Fridays #2

 

OK, the Compound's crack team of reporters were a bit quick off the draw on the ArchLib of Canterbury, Sarah Mullally. Granted, she's a bad middle management Lib, fair play, but let's turn on a dime with breaking news. Behold Don Lemon.

Don's been arrested for invading a Minneapolis church with a creepy crew of Cultural Marxist mountebanks and terrorizing worshippers with his appalling gayness. First time didn't stick, maybe second time Fed lucky. Charges? Not least, violating the Klan Act. Isn't it ironic.

We give the repellent rainbow Lemon an outstanding 9 out of 10 Lib Points, and applaud Bondi for actually arresting someone.

Lib it up my friends, on Friday.

Lib It Up Fridays

 

Lib It Up Fridays, a whole new series, and because we've been fasting, it's Friday, we might be able to stomach what follows. Or not. I present to you, the reader, Sarah Mullally, the new Archbishop of Canterbury. Behold.

Sic transit Saepius Officio, apostolic succession in the Church of England. Like wow, top libwork, COE. Are there other libs out there, raging libs, demented libs, lying libs, insane libs, revolutionary libs? Sure there are, but here at the Compound we give Mullally a sturdy 8 out out 10 Lib Points for middle management rainbow woke wreckery of a once venerable part of the Church. Apostolicae Curae, anyone? More to follow, many more.

Lib it up,
