Listen Up, Heathen, It's The Trinity

If, like Mohammad, you decided to make up a religion for profit, power and gain, you wouldn't come up with the Trinity. Three Persons, one God isn't the kind a thing a huckster would pitch to his mug punters, it's too difficult. And therein lies one of the arguments for the revealed truth of Christianity. That said, how can we make sense of it? Frank Sheed, in Theology and Sanity, explains Thomas Aquinas' reasoning with clarity.

Starting from the infinite knowledge of God, Sheed makes the point that such knowledge must have a commensurate object that is also infinite. God's knowledge must therefore be self-knowledge and this concept or idea is the Son or Word. He advises the "beginner" to study the following "minutely":

An idea is, so far as we can make it so, the mental double or image of the object we are contemplating; it expresses as much of that object as we can manage to get into it. Because of the limitation of our powers, the idea we form is never the perfect double or image, never totally expresses the object, in plain words is never totally adequate. But if God does, as we know from Himself that He does, generate an idea of Himself, this idea must be totally adequate, in no way less than the Being of which it is the Idea, lacking nothing that that Being has. 

The Idea must contain all the perfection of the Being of which it is the Idea. There can be nothing in the Thinker that is not in His Thought of Himself, otherwise the Thinker would be thinking of Himself inadequately, which is impossible for the Infinite.

Thus the Idea, the Word that God generates, is Infinite, Eternal, Living, a Person, equal in all things to Him Who generates It. Someone as He is, conscious of Himself as He is, God as He is.

So we see the Son, begotten from the infinite knowledge of the Father and as with knowledge, likewise with love. Father and Son combine in an infinite act of love which produces a perfect state of "Lovingness" which has all that they have.

To a point the two "processions" are parallel. The First Person knows Himself; His act of knowing Himself produces an Idea, a Word; and this Idea, this Word, the perfect Image of Himself, is the Second Person. The First Person and the Second combine in an act of love of one another, love of the glory of the Godhead which is their own; and just as the act of knowing produces an Idea within the Divine Nature, the act of loving produces a state of Lovingness within the Divine Nature.

Into this Lovingness, Father and Son pour all that They have and all that They are, with no diminution, nothing held back. Thus this Lovingness within the Godhead is utterly equal to the Father and the Son, for They have poured Their all into it. There is nothing They have which Their Lovingness does not have. Thus Their Lovingness too is Infinite, Eternal, Living, Someone, a Person, God. 

Observe that here again we are still within the Divine Nature. For love is wholly within the nature of the lover.

But this love wholly contains the divine Nature, because God puts the whole of Himself into love.

Complicated? No, it's not so much that as so simple it's not easy, but whoever said life would be? Thank you, Frank Sheed, for explaining the Angelic Doctor so clearly.

The Range is Hot

Keen-eyed readers of this well known mind blog will have noticed that it's been raining in Texas because the state hasn't paid George Soros' hated Weather Tax. We prefer to stand free of that and other NWO, Green Globalist carry-on. 

With that in mind, two Top Experts drove over from Dallas to the Compound, in search of a shoot.

We set up at Chandler's, somewhere between Whitney and Waco and tested out a couple of rifles, a Remington 700, a Winchester Featherweight and a Sako nice-as-you-like-I-want-one. All chambered in 30-06, the American round. How did the weapons shoot? 

Right on the money. The Sako was new and topped off with some kind of German optic which the Experts wanted to sight in. They did; well done Team. A beautiful rifle and all the more so for its variable trigger. 

On one setting it's light enough and crisp; on another, achieved by cocking the rifle and pushing the trigger forward, it's super-light, maybe 1Ib. Just touch it and BOOM, off flies a mighty 30-06, 180 grain bullet. Nice work, Sako.

The Remington 700 did well too, cheers, pawn shop, sending rounds down range with far more accuracy than the operator warranted. Breathe, LSP, you'll be a better shot.

Shoulders battered by mighty cannonry, we headed for home and here's the thing. Time spent at the range is never wasted. At the very least you'll get some fresh air and the chance to reconnect with your marksmanship. 

Who knows, maybe that'll prove useful in the hunting field and elsewhere.

Jihad And The Enemy Within

It takes a special kind of stupid to say that Islam is inherently peaceful, as though Mohammed was some sort of sand dune Gandhi. And with that in mind, we're not doing anyone any favors by pretending otherwise. 

Islam is and always has been a war religion and it's at war with the non-Islamic world now; recent atrocities prove the point, as if that was necessary. But what if our own governments are complicit?

What if the ruling powers of the West, in company with Qatar and Saudi Arabia, have financed, trained and supported the very same same Jihad that's now cutting people's throats in Borough Market? Here's Zerohedge:

This combination of Anglo-American policies across the region has contributed to further instability and the rise of violent jihadism. In fact, an even stronger conclusion may be warranted based on the evidence of the extent of UK covert and overt action in the region in alliance with states consistently supplying arms to terrorist groups: that agencies of the British government itself have, in some senses, become part of the broader ‘terrorist network’ with which the British public is now confronted.

It's long but you can should read the whole thing here.

Fanatical Islam, by the beard of the Prophet, may very well be an enemy, all the evidence points to that. So too, it appears, are the corrupt interests of our political class and we're not going to defeat the one without defeating the other. I'll leave you with this small taste of corruption:

While Tory politicians have defended the arms sales to Saudis as a move to shore up Britain’s allies in the region, Tory members of Parliament have collected £99,396 ($128,035) in gifts, travel expenses, and consulting fees from the government of Saudi Arabia since the Yemen war began.

That, I'd suggest, is the smallest tip of the iceberg and might go some way towards explaining the curious persistence of the Jihad and its mysterious impunity in the UK and Europe. All this to say nothing of the useful idiocy of the multicultural left, but therein lies another tale.

In the meanwhile,

ISIS Laughs.

News From The Front Of The War, On Weather

The dull rumble of thunder fills the air like the opening salvos of artillery on the Qatari front, and rain crashes down in sheets as lightning flashes across the sky. Harbingers of the Eschaton that has been unleashed by our ancient enemy, the Weather.

Cyborg Musk

You see, what has happened here is that the climate has changed and Texas, which failed so miserably to pay its weather tax, has been struck and struck hard. New York City, under the brave, resolute, socialist leadership of Mayor Bill de Blasio, net worth $1.5 million, are safe. 

Submission Merkel

The Weather won't attack Manhattan, San Francisco or Austin; they're sanctuary cities where everyone is safe because they obey their green globalist overlords. But in Texas, as opposed to Austin, that's not the case. This means sacrifice.

Snigger. Trudeau

There's no shooting because the range is a swamp. No fishing; who wants to get struck by lightning? And no riding; it's not fun to slosh around in a bog and get paralyzed when the horse falls over in the mud and snaps your neck. Does that mean we're defeated?

Di Caprio

No, it doesn't. We refuse to kow-tow to Macron, Trudeau, Merkel and their transnational elitocrat puppetmasters. We won't submit to millionaire green socialists like Di Caprio, Bloomberg and Elon "I'm Not A Cyborg" Musk. 

No sir. Come hell or high water, we stand for freedom and Texas.

Weather, bring it on.

London Jihad Terror

What kind of person drives a van at 50 mph into pedestrians on London Bridge and then gets out of the vehicle with his pals and starts cutting people's throats? As you're scratching your head in mute wonderment I'll supply the answer. Muslims. And that's exactly what's happened tonight in London.

In at least three incidents, at London Bridge, Borough Market and Vauxhall, Mohammedan Jihad vans rammed into people at speed. Then their occupants got out of the vehicles with knives and started stabbing and cutting throats. 

Why not, their Prophet did the same thing at Medina and it's in the Koran, "When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” (Qur’an 47:4)

Here's a snapshot of the Muslim holy warriors in action, from Breitbart:

He told the paper that he saw a van driving on the pavement with people running out of the way before three men got out.

“They literally just started kicking them, punching them, they took out knives. It was a rampage really,” he said

“They headed down towards Southwark Cathedral towards the bar, and starting running at people.

“People at the bar started fighting back. then the three of them decided to make their way up to the bridge.

“A woman was staring at them and they started stabbing her.

“Throughout the whole way across the bridge, there were people littered across bleeding. People were trying to help each other.”

In sum, these savages were only obeying orders, not least from their so-called holy book and its author, the founder of the religion of peace himself, Mohammad. But here's the thing.

How many more Muslims are there in the UK who are fervent enough to follow the head-chopping example of their founder and his instructions in the Koran? Some put that figure at around 23,000 out of approximately 6 million UK adherents of the warlord, child raping, enslaving Prophet. 

That's right, 23,000 Muslims ready to murder and terrorize until the UK submits to their barbaric death cult of a religion. 

Wake up, England, and deal with the threat. Identifying the enemy might be a good first step. And hint, it's not Methodists.

Putin Praises Trump!

Speaking at the St. Petersburg Economic Forum, nationalist champion and Russian strongman, Vladimir Putin, praised President Trump for ditching the phony Paris Climate Accord.

“By the way, we should be grateful to President Trump. In Moscow it’s raining and cold and even, they say, some snow. Now we could blame this all on American imperialism, that it’s all their fault. But we won’t.”

In earlier comments to Megynne Kelly, Putin brushed off the increasingly shrill, desperate, hysterical and unconvincing allegations made by America's lying, elite, corrupt, mendacious media, which accuse the Trump administration of being Russian spies. 

“So our ambassador met someone. That's his job. That's why we pay him. So what? What's he supposed to do, hit up the bars?”

Rumors that the New York Times, Washington Post and Maxine Waters are calling for Putin's impeachment are unverified. 

That German, French and Italian heads are exploding because Trump refuses to asset strip America at the behest of the phenomenally rich transnational elite, is settled science.

Trump Dumps Paris

The Globalist New World Order was dealt a smack 'round the chops today when President Trump announced he wasn't signing on to the Paris Climate Accord. "Pittsburgh not Paris," was Trump's motto and he has a point.

Why should America shut down and impose higher costs on its industry so that China and India, for example, can gain competitive advantage in the global marketplace? Or to put it another way, why should America redistribute its income to the developing world?

Because if we don't, it's argued, the ice caps will melt and everyone will die in a smog-ridden, polluted dystopia that makes Soylent Green attractive. The only problem with this compelling logic is that it's completely wrong.

Leaving aside the not-so-settled science of Global Warming, sorry, Climate Change, the Paris Accord allows emergent industrial powers such as India and China to go on polluting. To put it more bluntly, Paris lets the world's biggest polluters to pollute yet more still while far cleaner America, in particular, is penalized. And even if the Accord was fully adopted, the climate would change by an inconsequential degree, some 0.2 of a degree Celsius.

A Rich Lying NWO Illuminati Globalist

This means that the weather part of the Accord, its argument, its fakey raison d'etre isn't true, it's a lie and a brazen one at that. If it wasn't, the Accord would actually do something about global pollution and it doesn't. But it does do something else, it proposes regulation on American industry that either forces it to shut, such as coal, or puts it at a disadvantage vis-a-vis countries like China.

So what does the phony climate treaty actually achieve and who gains?

Typical Parisian Street Scene

Not the Weather, that still gets polluted by China and India to hell and back. Not the American worker, he gets to go on welfare when his coal mine's shut down to save a non-existent drowning Polar Bear and his steel mill's been relocated to the Asian Sub-Continent.

On the other hand, the unelected weather bureaucracy and the administrators of green climate funds do rather well. Nice money if you can make it. So do governments who are desperate to find an excuse for a new tax; look no further than the Weather! Then there's our transnational and stratospherically wealthy friends in the New World Order.

Do they gain from an America whose manufacturing base has been removed to countries with minimal slave labor costs and, by the way, equally minimal Parisian regulation when it comes to pollution? 

The Dalek

Here's a picture of Houston's Dalek to help you reflect on this difficult but important question. And while you're at it, consider Barack Obama's legacy and why he felt it necessary to exterminate so many American jobs.

Stand by the JAMS.

Memorial Day

I know, you're busy setting up firewalls and improving your IT security architecture in case the Kremlin hacks your grill and ruins all those steaks and hamburgers. But still, take some time to remember the fallen. Here's a prayer:

Almighty God, our heavenly Father, in whose hands are the living and the dead: We give thee thanks for all thy servants who have laid down their lives in the service of our country. Grant to them thy mercy and the light of thy presence; and give us such a lively sense of thy righteous will, that the work which thou hast begun in them may be perfected; through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord. Amen.

Russians Hack Memorial Weekend!

It's raining here in Texas because President Trump G6'd the G7 climate deal, allowing the Russians to hack the weather and ruin everyone's Memorial Day weekend.

Sources claim that a top-level White House insider spoke with Russian ambassador, Sergey Kislyak, opening up a special back passage which allowed the Kremlin to hack the weather, causing it to rain. The Kremlin hack, code named Soggy Bear, disrupted millions of Americans' cookouts.

President Trump unleashed a tweetstorm, accusing US media of promoting "fake news" in an attempt to get Hillary Clinton, but then went on to prove Russian collusion by addressing US troops in Italy, chanting "USA, USA!" 

Trump's display of traitorous sentiment at the close of his first foreign trip caused MSNBC's popular transsexual journalist, "Rachel" Maddow to call for the President's impeachment.

Here at the compound we're firing up the grill, despite our enemy, the Weather. Rumours of visiting Spetsnaz and Bear Cavalry officers are entirely without foundation.

God bless America.

Bodyslam A Guardian Reporter, Win An Election

Everyone wants to do it and now someone finally has, that's right, bodyslam a Guardian reporter and win an election.

Montana Republican candidate, Greg Gianforte, finally snapped at Guardian journalist Ben Jacobs' aggressive questioning and bodyslammed the hack to the ground, allegedly punching and breaking her spectacles. 

The move resonated with voters who had lost patience with the antics of the lying, corrupt, elite, mendacious, smug, condescending mainstream media.

When Gianforte apologized in his victory speech for attacking the aggressive reporter, saying that he "made a mistake," supporters shouted out, "Not in our minds!"

One commentator summed up the mood of the electorate, "With distrust and hatred of the lying media at all time highs, what Gianforte might have done might have gotten him more votes. Ben Jacobs, you are nothing but a pathetic, left wing hack and a hypocrite. Let UK Guardian pay for your new glasses."

Ben Jacobs is suing Greg Gianforte for assault. Greg Gianforte is enjoying his handy win in the Montana election. 

Whether this is the start of an encouraging trend has yet to be seen.

Carry on,
