Prince Andrew, gaoled on his 66th birthday no less. Well it's about time, dear punters. Do you think anyone else will be arrested for being part of our beloved cabal of pedo, cannibal, devil worshiping elite rulers? We can but hope.
In the meanwhile, this neo-scapegoat dimwit dupe prince can't be too happy tonight.
Here we are at the beginning of Lent, and it's time for that yearly installment TS Eliot's Ash Wednesday:
VI
Although I do not hope to turn again
Although I do not hope
Although I do not hope to turn
Wavering between the profit and the loss
In this brief transit where the dreams cross
The dreamcrossed twilight between birth and dying
(Bless me father) though I do not wish to wish these things
From the wide window towards the granite shore
The white sails still fly seaward, seaward flying
Unbroken wings
And the lost heart stiffens and rejoices
In the lost lilac and the lost sea voices
And the weak spirit quickens to rebel
For the bent golden-rod and the lost sea smell
Quickens to recover
The cry of quail and the whirling plover
And the blind eye creates
The empty forms between the ivory gates
And smell renews the salt savour of the sandy earth
This is the time of tension between dying and birth
The place of solitude where three dreams cross
Between blue rocks
But when the voices shaken from the yew-tree drift away
Let the other yew be shaken and reply.
Blessèd sister, holy mother, spirit of the fountain, spirit of the garden,
Suffer us not to mock ourselves with falsehood
Teach us to care and not to care
Teach us to sit still
Even among these rocks,
Our peace in His will
And even among these rocks
Sister, mother
And spirit of the river, spirit of the sea,
Suffer me not to be separated
And let my cry come unto Thee.
And here's a prayer:
Almighty and everlasting God, who hatest nothing that thou hast made and dost forgive the sins of all them that are penitent: Create and make in us new and contrite hearts, that we, worthily lamenting our sins, and acknowledging our wretchedness, may obtain of thee, the God of all mercy, perfect remission and forgiveness; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen.
Now look here you lot. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, I'm a conspiracy realist, and one thing at least is clear. They replaced her with an Iranian Lesbian or, per Ma LSP, a Lesbyterian. Terrifying, isn't it, but what should we expect from an elite NWO Illuminati cabal of Devil worshipping, pedophile cannibals?
In related news, America's celebrated Devil Witch, Maria Abramovic, is complaining that people think her a spirit cooking, sex magicke, Crowleyite, cannibalistic devil witch. Now she needs bodyguards to protect her from people opposed to her devil witchery appallingly bad degenerate art. Huh.
Let's finish with an Anglo-Catholic, Christopher Lee's perennial warning:
Keen-eyed observers will recognize downtown Dallas as seen from the 9th floor of Methodist hospital. But why, you ask in that wondering way, were you there? Because Ma LSP thought it'd be a good idea to lift a large and heavy planter on the back deck. No, it was not a good idea, it was a bad idea, which resulted in a compound stress fracture in her lower back.
Fortunately, she was able to make her way across the street to a good neighbor who drove her to Methodist, and one of the LSP sisters was able to help out to boot, very much so. Me? I tipped up today after Mass at Mission #2, Sacrament in pyx, and full of filial piety. Thank God, we all agreed, that surgery wasn't on the cards.
Surgery. No small thing at any time, much less in your 80s. As it is, she''ll have to wear a brace, she calls it a "corset," and go to rehab for a week or so, then back home. Good thing there's family in the area, eh?
Well, I left her watching Bonnie & Clyde just as the sun set over the glassy towers of the Metrosprawl, setting them ablaze with its light. Dear friends, you'll note from the above photo that one of our buildings is made of gold. Yes, gold. Surely not some kind of parable.
But more on this hospital scenario anon. In the meanwhile, do say a prayer for Ma LSP's full recovery.
Man, he's stand out above the poltroons and egregious pigs-in-the-trough mountebanks who've run formerly Great Britain into the ground. Mr. Lowe donates his salary to charity, isn't part of the bought and paid for Uniparty quango which effectively loathes and despises the people it taxes and governs for its own enrichment.
Will this man succeed, over and against the University driven shrieks of the Quisling Left? I don't know, busy here in Texas as opposed to Westminster, but here's the man himself:
I am today launching Restore Britain as a national political party.
In a shocking new development, the Church of England's General Synod voted on Thursday to halt its controversial Living in Love and Freedom process, a multi-year initiative which attempted to broker gay blessing rituals into the life of the declining denomination.
For now, stand alone same-sex union ceremonies remain officially prohibited by the denomination, and clergy are not allowed to marry their gay partners. However, new gender and sexuality working groups will continue the gay debate.
The Synod's ruling left some on the rainbow wing of the Church heartrendingly disappointed, with one priestess, Claire Robson, stating that “the cost to my life and ministry is incalculable … Hopes have been dashed and apologies rendered meaningless.” Rev. Charlie Bączyk-Bell said his “heart was broken.” Here xhe is, in full rainbow weepdown (fwd to end):
Charlie Bączyk-Bell, a queer Anglican priest, absolutely GOES OFF and RIPS into the CoE yesterday at Synod, foaming with unrighteous indignation before breaking into pathetic tears at the end.
"How DARE we come again to this place to lament and recognize distress and pain… pic.twitter.com/CdiJTY4xXd
How long will the Church of England and its Sinod be able to resist such impassioned pleas for gayness? Will clergy persyns get gay married anyway in rainbow defiance of Church law? Will there even be a Church of England by the time its new sex studies groups have stopped talking? If not, that's one problem solved, Net Zero carbon emissions from the UK's shrinking national Church.
We used to have beautiful art and architecture and a culture we exported, ending slavery, cannibalism and widow burning to the people we ruled. To say nothing of roads, schools, industry and all of that. How very, very, very colonialist evil, which reminds me of a time in the Anglican cathedral in Nairobi.
There it was, hung with memorials to Empire and mostly forgotten regiments. I stood in awe. The Bishop of Winchester's wife felt differently, "How disgusting!" she exclaimed over a cup of Kenyan coffee in the grounds of the church. I looked at her and noticed she had two snakes tattooed on her shoulder blades. Imagine, if you can, the looks of the Edwardian ladies whose sons were memorialized in that cathedral.
All oblivious to the wife of the Bishop of Winchester, all she felt was disgust at Great Britain's colonial past, and she's one amongst very many. Marxism, cultural or otherwise, poisoned their minds such that they hate their country, its past and its Faith, they're in rebellion against it even as they live with its benefits, for as long as those survive, which won't be for very Sharia longer.
Note this. self-loathing, virtue-signaling Leftism won't fare so well when it's being rainbow kicked off the nearest Victorian building in Tower Hamlets. But that's as maybe.
The Epstein thing continues to reap victims in the UK. Has a single person been brought to justice in the US, as in client list? No, they have not. For that matter, even if we win the culture war, which I hope we do, will we still have a culture to export. Ahem. Make of this what you will.
Well what have we here, a UK billionaire who has the sheer temerity to call out the obvious, that his country's being colonized by votes immigrants. Well go figure, 12 million or so imported Islamic votes over the last five years with associated welfare? Way to go. Here's Sir Jim Ratcliffe and note, the Left are shrieking and swallowing their bifurcated tongues:
It’s when the sensible people say it out loud that it becomes an acceptable thing to say. https://t.co/yEhSKhOGnF
When people with money start holding the mountebanks in power in Westminster and beyond to account there might, possibly, be some change. What's the alternative?
Welfare breaks. The vaunted, holy, sacrosanct NHS breaks. Wages drop, prices rise. Taxes rise. Rents rise. Money flees. Once great cities become urban hellholes, and only the very, very rich live in Ivory Tower splendour over the burgeoning mass of minimum wage bread and circus serfs.
Sound familiar? It should, it's the Detroit model and we're living through it. And I tell you, the above scenario's a veritable template for conflict, not least when your imported votes are Moslem savages. Maybe Ratcliffe et al can put a stop to this unfortunate trend, after all, their money's riding on it.
Yes, UK Parliament, we're looking at you. What a gang of poltroons, of self-serving, despotic, subpar, traitorous, margarine demon Blairite mountebanks. There are exceptions, like Mr. Lowe, but they're rare. Has the time come for what's left of the UK's Army to go full Cromwell? Surely a Battalion of Guards or better yet, Gurkhas, would be more than sufficient.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a full-on Charles I monarchist, obviously, and no fan of Cromwell and his military tyranny of Major Generals. But something radical has to be done, clearly, and that's just in the UK. Surely Congress and Senate have no need whatsoever of a purge.
Your Old Pal,
LSP
PS. Read Belloc's Cromwell and Charles I, two outstanding biographies from everyone's favorite belligerent.
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.
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.
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.
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:
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:
🔥 BREAKING: Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent was just featured in a NICKI MINAJ video and it's absolutely LEGENDARY
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.
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.
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.
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$.
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.
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.
