Incarnation



In a bold attempt to find something positive in this dark and barbarous time, my mind goes to the Incarnation. Here's some Austin Farrer:

"We cannot understand Jesus as simply the God-who-was-man. We have left out an essential factor, the sonship. Jesus is not simply God manifest as man; he is the divine Son coming in manhood. What was expressed in human terms here below was not bare deity; it was divine sonship. God cannot live an identically godlike life in eternity and in a human story. But the divine Son can make an identical response to his Father, whether in the love of the blessed Trinity or in the fulfillment of an earthly ministry. All the conditions of action are different on the two levels; the filial response is one. Above, the appropriate response is a co-operation in sovereignty and an interchange of eternal joys. Then the Son gives back to the Father all that the Father is. Below, in the incarnate life, the appropriate response is an obedience to inspiration, a waiting for direction, an acceptance of suffering, a rectitude of choice, a resistance to temptation, a willingness to die. For such things are the stuff of our existence; and it was in this very stuff that Christ worked out the theme of heavenly sonship, proving himself on earth the very thing he was in heaven; that is, a continuous perfect act of filial love."

I like that, a lot.

Germany Awake?



Germany's anti-immigration movement, PEGIDA, staged a rally in Dresden this evening, drawing some 20,000 people. 

They believe that a massive influx of Muslims into Germany might result in Paris style terrorism. How could they think that?



I mean to say, how misguided could you possibly be. Muslims = Muslim terrorism? Why would anyone think that? It's ridiculous. And racist. And absurd.

Who knows, maybe Europe will grow a spine, because if it doesn't Deutschland Erwache! might just rise up to bite, and we don't want that. 

Good luck, Germany.

Out On Patrol


I patrolled down to Montes Mexican Diner, keeping a keen eye out for Daesh terrorists. They could be anywhere.



Takfiri safe house?



Is that Daesh, hiding under a pile of trash?



And what about here?



Perhaps you see a dumpster. I see a hardened defensive position. Clear.



A snake. Good thing I'm armed. With a Glock.



Think twice before you walk down this road. Situational awareness is key.


The patrol ended without incident, apart from a tasty helping of Huevos Rancheros, and this time ISIS stayed under cover. Smart move, guys. But seriously, people are saying that CHL holders have a duty to carry. That might not be such a bad idea.

In the meanwhile, the real war, the War on Weather, continues, with a fine drizzle of rainy attrition. Like being back in the Old Country.

Gun rights.

France Launches Peace At Raqqa



In a stunning show of force, James Taylor and a holographic John Lennon are being beamed in to Paris by Senator John Kerry to finally, once and for all, defeat the Jihad. Yoko Ono is also slated to appear, in what pundits are predicting to be the "most significant rally for peace since Band Aid." 

The Talent That is Yoko

Who knows, maybe the incredibly talented vocalist, Yoko, will shriek the Jihad into submission. Failing that, France has launched a massive Peace Raid on the Caliphate's capital, Raqqa, consisting of 20 bombs. 


Vive

Yes, 20. It's a lot like the allied bombing raids on Nazi Germany, only way smaller. Still, despite their reputation, the French can be made of pretty stern stuff. Maybe the attack on our frenemies, ISIS, will continue.


Good Luck, Paris

In the meanwhile, Paris, already reeling from one attack, steels itself for Yoko. It survived ISIS, at no little cost to itself. It remains to be seen whether this iconic city will survive the sonic assault of the genius that is Yoko.

All you need is love,

Clean Your Gun, it's Sunday



It's a pretty typical Sunday afternoon, here at the Compound; Gun cleaning, a late lunch consisting of a bollo and something advertising itself as "Beef Bologna." I find Duke's mayonnaise helps with this, but hey, go for second best Hellman's, there's no "rule."


Iraqi Forces Wave Captured Weather Flag

As I reflect on this, my mind goes to this morning's Gospel, in which Jesus warns of "false Christs" and "false prophets." No shortage of those, right about now. Speaking of which, Bernie Sanders blames our ancient adversary, The Weather, for the recent terrorist attacks in Paris.


El Nino

Does The Weather know no bounds? Will it stop at nothing in its ongoing attempt to destroy our civilization and overthrow everything we hold right and true? Apparently not, which is why our first installment of Climate Change Refugees landed in New Orleans this Saturday. I guess they're running from El Nino.

What. Could. Possibly. Go. Wrong.

You Pathetic Fools



Breitbart -- "Your country has just been attacked by a wave of at least half-dozen terror attacks. More than 120 innocent people are dead. Upwards of 300 are hospitalized. Your iconic city is trembling in fear and unease. Muslim-extremist barbarians, many of whom you invited to live among you, are cheering, plotting, and anticipating the next round."




So you draw a peace sign. Why not a rainbow, and a unicorn too? Then you could doubly beat back the Jihad.

You pathetic fools.

ISIS laughs.

Oh, The Right Did It



Look how quickly the shariasymp left blames the Jihad Paris massacre on the nascent, or burgeoning right-wing movement in Europe. 

If only right-wing nationalists hadn't engaged in "incendiary rhetoric," none of this would have happened.

Excuse me, I thought it was Muslims.

Wake Up And Smell The Jihad



As of this evening, over 150 people are reported dead in the latest terrorist attack in Paris by Muslims.

President Obama has denounced the atrocity as "an attack on all of humanity and the universal values that we share."



But that's precisely it, we don't all share the same set of values. Authentic Islam, following the example of its founder Mohammed, the Koran and the Hadith, is an ideology of violent conquest and enslavement that does not shrink from wholesale terror to achieve its end, namely, the subjugation of humanity.




Paris, tragically, saw that ideology in play tonight and we're reminded of it daily, in every country that's home to any sizable concentration of Muslims. There you will find all the barbarity of a 7th century tribal war cult, inflamed to white-hot fanaticism according to the ebb and flow of adherence to divinely sanctioned Jihad.



Stoning, crucifixion, torture, slavery, murder and terror are the currency of this ideology, anti-values sanctioned and encouraged by its founder. The West needs to wake up and recognize the threat.

France has closed its borders. Some might call that a day late and a dollar short.

It's The Fryday Roundup

It's hard to concentrate, here in the Newsroom, over the sheer din of The Whine, caused by the custodians of our national conscience, rich, privileged, entitled students, who have risen up to challenge the injustice and oppression endemic in the soul destroying gulags that are this country's universities.

Be that as it may, the News must get through. 

Here's some highlights.






Jihad terrorists hit Paris. Breaking.

But here in the US, things are getting serious on Campus.



Yale Whine
Simmering discontent on American campuses became an outraged whine,  as furious students sparred with faculty at Yale, demanding their right to not be offended by Halloween costumes. At Mizzou, mobs of chanting children forced  the low-tier school's President and Chancellor to resign, for not apologizing for "white privilege." But that didn't stop one white Mizzou professor from threatening a journalist with "muscle." 

Melissa Click subsequently resigned from her position at Mizzou's prestigious school of journalism, but remains on the faculty.

Protests then spread like wildfire across the country, becoming the Million Whine March, with enraged protesters lying down in the middle of campus pathways, writing emails, shrieking into megaphones, and waving #BlackLivesMatter placards. 

Sensing an opportunity, heavy-hitting Democrat donors are apparently planning to broaden their party's voting base by sponsoring the #BlackLivesMatter movement. But how will this affect Hillary?



World-renowned pop star, Sister Souljah, has accused Democratic Party frontrunner, Hillary Clinton, of being a slave owning plantation wife. “She reminds me too much of the slave plantation white wife of the white ‘master,’ ” Souljah said, according to Time.

Souljah, who recommended that blacks kill whites for a week, in 1992, is a supporter of #BlackLivesMatter. Does this mean that the Democracy Alliance will walk away from Hillary?

Who knows, but what we do know is that the declining Church of Iceland (there is one) has made gay marriage compulsory.



The Church of Iceland has told its clergypersons that they have to perform gay marriages. A 2007 conscience clause allowed clergy to opt out of the gay marriage rituals, but this has been overturned. Speaking at the denomination's Church Council, Rev. Helgudóttir argued that the declining church had to “take things the whole way and place no limits on human rights.” Except, of course, if you're weird and oppressive enough to think that marriage is something that occurs between a man and a women.

Not to be outdone, the Church of Norway's House of Bishops has decided to create gay marriage liturgies. The decision has to be approved by the church's Synod next year before taking effect. As of 2013, 8 out of 12 bishops in the Norwegian denomination are in favor of gay weddings.

But that's the Vikings for you. In the meanwhile, the Church of England just got a bit less gay.



Canon Jeremy Pemberton, who according to Virtueonline was married with five children before deciding to go gay, has lost a discrimination lawsuit over being turned down for a job as hospital chaplain. Pemberton got married to his gay lover in April, 2014, and had his "permission to officiate" revoked.

The Church of England doesn't allow its clergy to marry their gay partners, but it does allow them to live together in a "civil partnership."

Confused? Neither are we, and the same can be said for unsuspecting Californians, who were terrified by bright lights in the sky.






Frightened San Diego residents were shocked by what at first appeared to be a missile, or a Taureid meteor shower, streaking across the night sky of the LA basin. But it was just the rogue Diocese of San Diego, warping out of deep space on its way to shut another parish. After its brief appearance, the diocese left earth to return to its home in the icy depths of interstellar space.

Bishop James Mathes was unavailable for comment.

The Ithaca Whine


Residents of Ithaca, in upstate New York, have been disturbed by a strange, high-pitched whine, that seems to come from nowhere and makes it impossible to work, or even think. 

"All I can hear is this whining sound," said one one disturbed Ithaca resident,"It gets so bad I can't even hear myself think, it's like tinnitus but worse. I had to call in sick to work today. We call it The Whine."

Whining in Ithaca

Some have accused the government of causing the mysterious noise, but anomaly hunting experts have revealed its cause, rich kid students, at Ithaca University.

"At first we thought it was a DAARPA mind control project," said one investigator, "but it's just whining from the students. It gets real noisy!"

Ithaca locals have had to buy ear defenders to protect themselves from The Whine. Will someone put a stop to it? Please?

It costs $58,798 a year to send a kid to Ithaca.

Go To Mass, Escape The Whine



In a brave attempt to escape marauding gangs of privileged elite Student Stasi on full Mau-Mau, I drove to Dallas and assisted at the SSC's November Requiem Mass. 

It was good to be Thurifer and the plainsong Latin Mass setting was beautiful; the liturgy wasn't bad either. Well done, local SSC chapter.

Whine, Shriek, Whine, Safe space, Whine, Shriek, Whine

But all good things must come to an end, in this life, as the serenity of the Requiem gives way to the shrieks of pampered college children on the Million Whine March. 

Stand back in awe, as spoiled brat, rich kid libs turn America into a transsexual pink Marxist utopia. 

I'm off to buy better ear protection, to muffle the whine.
