Are you inclined, dear readers, to surrender? As in, "Oh, I read the New York Times and Politico and NPR and now I have to be a globalist NWO puppet." Sure, go on, go right ahead, dumbass, obey your rulers.
Here at the Compound we take a different path, the path of freedom, truth and beauty. As in part of that involves firearms; a free man can defend himself, a slave cannot. Take note, serfs.
PS. Ahem.
Marine Le Pen joins a growing list of lawfared political figures, such as Bolsonaro in Brazil, Imran Khan in Pakistan, Calin Georgescu in Romania and Donald Trump here in the US. Elon Musk weighed in on social media, "When the radical left can’t win via democratic vote, they abuse the legal system to jail their opponents. This is their standard playbook throughout the world." Italy's deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini went further, blasting the court's decision as "a declaration of war from Brussels."
Keen-eyed readers of this inconsequential taco stand on the Information Super Highway might remember a time when Europe and the Free World prided itself on free elections, a free press and an independent judiciary. Now? Not so much. Why, then, should the US under its current leadership spend a single cent on the defense of countries which are at best against our values.
Defense aside, maybe tariffs and increasingly surging nationalism will bring Rainbow Fortress Europa to something resembling sense.

It'd be a shame if this short Sea Hag infovid went viral, wouldn't it:
What a SEAHAG https://t.co/KoMjPIYOHn
— Michael Heidt (@michael_he72580) March 29, 2025
SEAHAG has an estimated net worth of over $230 million, which wasn't bad for a socialist civil servant on a congressional salary of $174,000. SEAHAG makes such good trades that there's even an X account tracking her fiscal genius, Pelosi Stock Tracker. Check it out and maybe you too can become multi-millionaire Socialist Sea Hag rich.
Thanks for the tip, LL.

Knife crime is at epidemic levels and is ruining lives across Britain.

As Prime Minister, I'll crack down on sales of these lethal weapons once and for all.
When I announce a ban, you’ll get a ban.https://t.co/ducB1yikwu
Yeah, all that knife crime. Caused by all those Moslem and POC votes. Better ban ninja swords then, hadn't you. For goodness sake, the country whose empire once spanned the globe is now a Rainbow Stasi, Ninjato Banning Great Replacement Globalist laughing stock.
That's not all, the UK also has some of the highest industrial energy costs in the world, four times that of the US. But don't worry, no one's going to cut you off with their ninja sword when you can't afford your bill, they'll just send you to jail for mean Facebook posts.
Maybe the UK's heading towards a crisis if it's not already in one. I, for one, wouldn't want to be there when and if it erupts.

You're probably wondering why anyone reads the appalling Atlantic, much less giving its Editor access to sensitive defense information. Or perhaps you're pondering the World Ice Theory, what caused the Younger Dryas megafauna extinction event, and whether catastrophism is preferable to uniformitarianism. Or whatever, but here at the Compound we're reflecting on the parable of the Prodigal Son. Here's St. Justin Popovic:
Only the gospel of Christ fully knows the mystery of sin and the problem of sin and everything which hides within it. The prodigal son of the Gospel is the perfect example of the repentant sinner. The Gospel shows us that man, through his free will, can share his life with Earth and with Heaven, with Satan and with God, with paradise and with hell. Sin gradually strips man of everything divine in him, paralyzes his every divine inclination and desire, until it finally throws him into the bosom of Satan. And then man reaches the plight of grazing the swine of his master, the Devil. The swine are passions, which are always greedy and gluttonous. In such a life, the unfortunate man is nothing more than insane. In a shocking parable of the Gospel, the Lord says about the prodigal son, ‘he came to himself,’ (Luke 15:17) How did he come to himself? He came to himself through repentance. Through sin, man becomes mad, insane. Every sin, even the most seemingly insignificant one, is always an insanity of the soul. Through repentance, man comes to his senses becomes complete again, comes to himself. Then he cries out loud to God, runs to Him, and cries towards Heaven, ‘Father, I have sinned against Heaven, and in thy sight’ (Luke 15:21). And what is the heavenly Father doing? He is always infinitely merciful upon seeing His child in a state of repentance. He has compassion for him, runs, embraces him, and kisses him. He orders His heavenly hosts, the holy angels: ‘Bring forth the best robe and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: and bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry: for this is My son who was dead, and is alive again; and he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.’ (Luke 16:22-24) And this is taking place for each and every one of us, and for the sake of every sinner who repents. Namely, joy and happiness is taking place in the heaven of the All-merciful Lord and God, and together with Him, all of the holy angels.
Every sin, even the most seemingly insignificant one, is always an insanity of the soul. Yes indeed, but never forget the mercy and love of God, which runs out to meet the repentant sinner.
God Bless,

Unlike our adversary the Devil, I try to take a day off on Monday. It doesn't always work, far from it, but today it does, at least so far. And what a day it is, sunny, clear, bright Texan weather, a lull before the ferociously incoming heat of summer. Beautiful, and with it, lazy Mexican music floats across the air from Eduardo's yard only to meet Seven by Seven and Riding a Raid. I tell you, it's a veritable battle of the bands.
Speaking of which, d'ye think 47's got a chance at defeating the pernicious, partisan, fraudulent, unconstitutional lawfare being waged against him by off-the-hook rogue judges? It seems he's appealing to SCOTUS, good luck with that, but perhaps the old I'm going to ignore you gambit's the best play. Who knows, situation developing.
Not unlike the war in Ukraine, curiously. Word has it that UKR reps left their peace meeting in Riyadh "thunder faced." Who knows, maybe they were told the US cash spigot's about to be turned off. Or not, let's see. That in mind, I don't recall voting to spend a single penny on the Cocaine Fuhrer. Regardless, grilling's on the menu for later.
Enough of the frivolous tomfoolery that characterizes this so-called "blog," it's time for something serious. Namely some wisdom for the third Sunday of Lent from Austin Farrer:
"CHRIST broke his mysterious body and gave it to his disciples at the Supper without explaining at that time what the breaking and giving would mean. There was no need, the facts would presently make it clear. What, then, was done to this body? It was stripped, scourged, and nailed to a cross: stripped of all dignity and all possession, scourged with the stroke of penal justice, and nailed up like a dead thing while it was still alive. The body you receive in this sacrament accomplished its purpose by nailing to a tree. You are to become this body, you are to be nailed: nailed to Christ’s sacrificial will. The nails that hold you are God’s commandments, your rules of life, prayers, confessions, communions regularly observed. Let us honour the nails for Christ’s sake, and pray that by the virtue of his passion they may hold fast."
The nails that hold you are God’s commandments, your rules of life, prayers, confessions, communions regularly observed. Surely Farrer was the greatest Anglican theologian of the last century.
God Bless,

Free falling. Would that be Western Civ, the Church of England, our beloved Uniparty Globalist New World Order or just the song itself. Good question, and I drove to Dallas to find out.
It wasn't hard, I35 was bizarrely clear at 0700, and there we were, in Downtown Dallas at 0830. Talk about free falling, every indigent POC that ever there was was gathered there today, slumped around the McDonalds, waiting for free Egg McMuffins.
Like what's wrong with us? Every single one of our major cities is a major hell hole, seriously, and guess what, they're all run by Democrats and POCs. Weird, right? Surely there's no connection. Speaking of which, Heathrow airport shut down today.
How could that possibly happen, LSP? you ask with startled breath. Because, dear friends, the genius patrol in charge of Europe's largest air hub went NetZero and shut down their generator, or something like that. You can read about it on the internet.
Point being, punters, when is the collective West going to stop suiciding itself? Imagine yourself, if you can, in a small Irish town suddenly doubled in size and violence by Moslem imports. I call, with all the charity in the world, trouble. To put it mildly.
We left Dallas on I35 heading south and the further south we went the better it got. Yes, here in the Texas Redoubt we will resist and defeat State tyranny. Check us out and see. Your Clubbable Pal.
🚨This is the official PRESS RELEASE of the Massive Underground Structure Findings at the Giza Plateau from the Khafre Pyramid Project

Have you heard about the latest Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) scan of Khafre's Pyramid, revealing massive cylindrical structures reaching deep beneath the enigmatic pyramid itself? Ground shaking, if true, and Corrado Malanga, from the University of Pisa, and Filippo Biondi, from the University of Strathclyde, who conducted the ground penetrating scans, believe it is. Greg Reese reports:
This March 15th press release summarized the key findings in the team’s research of the second largest pyramid of the Giza Plateau, known as the Khafre Pyramid. And what they found was astonishing.
The analyses of dozens of tomographic SAR images obtained from different angles enabled the 3D reconstruction of inside the pyramid of Khafre. And deep beneath the surface of the plateau.
Near the base of the pyramid, 5 identical structures are seen, connected by geometric pathways. Inside each of these are 5 horizontal levels and a sloping roof.
Below these 5 structures are 8 cylindrical structures which appear to be vertical wells, hollow inside, and surrounded by descending spiral pathways. These 8 vertically aligned cylindrical structures, arranged in two parallel rows from north to south, descend to a depth of 648 meters where they all merge into two large cubic structures measuring approximately 80 meters per side.
The entire structure extends approximately two kilometers beneath the surface. And extends beneath all three pyramids of the Giza Plateau complex.
Again, if this is true, it's a remarkable discovery, evidence of an advanced pre-deluvian, pre-cataclysm civilization, capable of building immense structures out of stone. To what end? We don't know, though some, such as Christopher Dunn, believe the Giza Pyramids functioned as power plant.
🚨Groundbreaking Findings on the Giza Pyramid Complex Could Re-Write Human History!

This should not be possible. pic.twitter.com/Q3eAoAqwSL
But that's as maybe, what we do know is that current archeological orthodoxy will do its level best to ignore and debunk Malanga and Biondi's claims because too many lucrative careers would be ruined otherwise.
Still, perhaps a bold, fearless and well financed archeologist will find a way to excavate under the pyramid and penetrate the mysteries therein. I hope they do.

Another day, another triple dose of inanity from a lib judge attempting to usurp the power of the Executive. This time, uber Dem Judge Boasberg ordered President Trump to turn planeloads of Venezuelan gangsters around, midflight, and bring them back to the US. Why?
Because Boasberg thinks he can run US foreign policy, being as he's a DC judge and all. Trump essentially ignored the rogue judge, whose family has nothing whatsoever to do with the Democrat party at all, and sent the Tren de Aragua crims to El Salvador. You can read all about it here, if you haven't already. In the meanwhile, check out the gangsters' reception in their new home.
Democrats are vehemently defending these Tren de Aragua gangsters and are demanding their release from El Salvador.

El Salvador's really law abiding and safe now, unlike US cities. No wonder, they're pretty much run by the kind of people who'd prefer violent murderers walking our streets and terrorizing our people than not. People like Boasberg and the power that runs him, who are actively working against their country.
Behold their awesome platform. How dare 47 cut tax payer funded egregious corruption, grift, fraud and waste. How dare he deport illegal alien gangsters. How dare he. So get out there and torch a Tesla. Good look, right? Let's see how well it plays out in '26.

"Are there many who will be saved?" asks an anon of Christ in Luke 13. What a question, but Our Lord doesn't answer back directly, instead he says "strive to enter by the narrow gate" so that when the man of the house shuts the door he'll recognize you when you knock. "Lord, let me in!"
To some he will say, "Depart from me, I never knew you." To others, repentant sinners, he will welcome into the kingdom of God. They will sit down at the heavenly banquet with Abraham, the Patriarchs and the Prophets.
Long story short, which side or gate are you on? The narrow way, which is Christ crucified, or some other thing, the broad way with its wide, iniquitous lintel. In St. Paul's words, is your god the belly and do you glory in your shame? Or are you focused on Christ and the Cross. If the former, take heed, your path is destruction, you are enemies of the Cross of Christ. If the latter, stand firm and double down. You will receive your reward, the reward of everlasting life.
That's what we're shooting for, dear friends, life itself. Embrace it and renounce darkness, evil, and the fools' gold of the world, the flesh and the Devil. Embrace life and the Cross instead, the narrow gate, the strait way, which is Christ crucified. Is such a thing easy? Try it and find out; you will be blessed abundantly in the endeavor.
Here endeth the Lesson.

No, it's a Best Western Plus outside of Georgetown, Texas. Georgetown, word to the wise, is an Olde Worlde Texan town which lives cheek by jowl to Austin. Yes, the very same Austin that's twinned with San Francisco and the appalling SXSW music festival. Why, LSP, would you go to such a place, you ask with bated breath.
Because, dear friends, I had to celebrate a marriage there, in a little prairie gothic wooden chapel right off the town square. And you know what? It was perhaps the best wedding I've ever officiated at. Simple but dignified, totally not contrived, and a great company of people, young and old.
The bride was gorgeous and elegant, the groom and his men looked sharp and the whole thing was a joy to be at. Was it because almost every man there was former military, some having served with distinction? Quite possibly. Was it because nobody had any side or something to prove? Most definitely, what a down to earth group of people. Was it because the bride and groom are genuinely in love? Yes indeed, what a stand-up couple.
By way of a short homily, I counseled S&S to never, ever give up on one another, come hell or highwater and, when the going gets tough, persevere. At that point, which inevitably comes my friends, love becomes a sacrificial act of will, a conscious, deliberate, giving of oneself for the benefit and good of the beloved. With that in mind, never forget your vows. Viz:
I N. take thee N. to my wedded Wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part, according to God's holy ordinance; and thereto I plight thee my troth.
Till death do us part. Serious business, and in performing it, be assured of God's abundant blessing. To that end, I was more than happy to pronounce the couple Man and Wife and, in conclusion, we all fell back to the City Post for a fun and delicious reception meal.
I tell you, I've not celebrated a better wedding in over 30 years. Just a lot of fun and, I think, uniquely American or Texan. Optimistic, patriotic, down to earth, humorous, experienced but not jaded, eyes-wide-open good people with none of that old world clever cynicism we loathe and despise. Ranchers, soldiers, cops, doctors, pilots, hunters, fishermen, professors, you name it, and not a rainbow lib in sight. Great result.
At the end of the day I retired to the jolly old Best Western Plus and parsed the world with the Father of the Groom, an outstanding man and friend. Was he armed? Of course, think waistband 1911 .45 and a little XD boot gun in the same caliber. You see, free men can defend themselves, slaves cannot.

Keen-eyed observers of the war in Ukraine may have noticed Ukrainian positions in the Kursk pocket folding up like a deck of cards, with the Russians recapturing over 12 settlements and 100 square kilometers of territory in 24 hours. Unusual, to say the least, in a war that's been typically measured in meters. So why the sudden collapse?
Partly because of Operation Potok (Flow), which saw some 800 men infiltrate into the Ukrainian rear near Sudza via a 15 kilometer stretch of gas pipeline. Arriving at their staging posts undetected after a week of piping, the Russian combat teams moved onto their various objectives. A major engineering, logistical and tactical feat. RWA waxes lyrical from the Russian side:
What a beautiful, clear, springlike day in rural Texas, and I tell you, it was all go at the Compound. Salvador was up on a ladder, scraping, caulking and priming, these wooden houses have to be kept up, and Carlos was busy with his crew inside the church, where they were replacing an interior window frame.
Well done Team. Catching the spirit of the thing, and not wanting to seem like some kind of idle layabout, I set to, polishing a serried rank of loafers. Those shoes weren't going to shine themselves! The same held true for a couple of guns.
Apply cleaning rod, patches, Hoppes, and get those weapons fit to fight. You see, if you don't clean them they get dirty, and a dirty gun left untended has a nasty habit of not working. Some of you may have noticed that out in the field.
Cleaning imperative complete, it was time to dial up the Royal Scots Club in Edinburgh with a view to a September exeat. Why the long lead time? Because if you don't get on the RSC early, you won't get the excellent room at truly excellent value that you want.
What a great little club in a neat city, check it out if you can. In the meanwhile, all's well in this part of the North Central Texas Exclusion Zone.

Here we are on the first Sunday of Lent, and with it Christ's temptation in the wilderness. After fasting for forty days we read that Jesus was "hungry," admirable understatement from St. Luke. Then Satan appears on the scene and tempts Our Lord three times. In sum:
The unclean spirit appeals to Jesus' bodily appetite, "If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread." Rebuked, the Devil takes Christ to the top of a tall mountain and offers him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them, but there's a catch, Jesus must worship him. Failing in this, Lucifer takes Jesus to the pinnacle of the Temple and urges Christ to "throw himself down... for it is written, 'He will give his angels charge over thee lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.'" Again, Jesus says no, and the Serpent leaves him and the angels minister to him.
Reflect on this in the light of Luke's account, in which the mountainous temptation plays a central or pivotal part. See it if you like as a head and shoulders graph with the all time high being Devil worship, flanked by gluttony on the one hand and faithlessness on the other. What does this suggest? A diabolical Sinai, an anti-Sinai, in which Satan inverts the giving of the Law to Moses on the mountain top. What was this God-given Law?
It's summarized thus, "Love the Lord your God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy mind." And, "Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself." Love God, love neighbor, two essential commandments given to us by God. What's suggested by Satan is the exact opposite of this.
Again, we have two commandments, but what are they? Stones to bread, gluttony, and throw yourself from the Temple, faithlessness, the former precluding love of neighbor and the latter love of God. I say again, the satanic mountain intends and produces the opposite of the heavenly. What are we to do with this?
Be aware that as we go out into the wilderness to confront evil, we'll be tempted in the same way as Christ, by the Devil. Say no to this and beat the Serpent back by fasting, charity, and prayer, and in doing so align yourself with Christ and walk the way of the Cross which leads to new and everlasting life.
Stand strong in the Faith,
LSP

EU Kaisarin Ursula von der Leyen is all behind the Rainbow Bloc sending billions of Euros to Ukraine, and is warmly in favor of 2TK's incisive military plan to put "boots on the ground" and "planes in the air" to support Cocainsky's faltering Eastern Front against the Russians.
But Ursula, we're confused. How can you invade Russia when you've banned your country's rousing armored anthem, Panzerlied? Aristocratic Ursula did that in 2017, when she was Germany's historically useless Minister of Defense, in case you were wondering.
According to Rueters, Germany's armed forces are at 50% readiness and some may remember Ursula's Bundeswehr resorting to training with broomsticks due to a lack of machine guns.
How many Rainbow Euro Panzers are actually ready to roll into Ukraine? I don't know, but I do know this, they won't be singing Panzerleid. President Trump is, meanwhile, excoriated and scorned by Democrats and their paymasters for attempting to negotiate peace.
Your Friend,

2TK (Two-Tier Kier) is at it again, fawning all over the Midget Mascot of Rainbow Garden Fortress Europa and pledging undying support for Ukraine. Yes, right up to and including "boots on the ground" and "planes in the air."
Come on, Two-Tier, you don't have any boots, you don't have any planes, and you don't have any ships, neither do your Rainbow allies. What's more, you don't have the manufacturing industry to make them, which makes EU Princess Ursula von der Leyen's pledge to turn the Ukraine into a "steel porcupine" seem more than a little hollow.
Perhaps that's why the beloved UK ruler said that his, ahem, strongman proposal needed US support. But what if we don't want to support you, Kier? What if we don't want to subsidize your green, woke, rainbow tyranny, much less your defense. More to the point, what if Blackrock's somehow out of favor in the corridors of US power. Don't say RFK.
