Musical Interlude

Heh. Typical. Rock on boys, even though you're pushing, ahem, 60.

Uplifting, right?

Colonels

You know me, so desperately reactionary as to think wimmin shouldn't be priests or soldiers or, in Hillary's case, presidents. But what about colonels?

Yes, honorary colonels of horse, like Empress Viktoria. Perhaps you don't think she looks smart and brave in her Deaths Head Hussar rig.

That would be your call and I disagree. Melania, by the way, is the honorary colonel of an irregular Texan cavalry unit. D'ye think that improves morale?

Right dress,

SUMMER SOLSTICE 2019

Yes, the Summer Solstice was yesterday, an important date by anyone's reckoning. How did you celebrate? 

At the Stones?

Perhaps the Tor.

Here at the Compound we cleaned guns, like this handy CZ Bobwhite 20.

And flew the flag.

Witch way, mysticke sister?

One flag to rule them all. 

Dixie forever,

45 was so impressed by Carpe Donktum's infovideo that he broadcast it to his millions of followers. TIME magazine was quick to reassure its declining reader base that the inspiring animation wasn't, in fact, a TIME cover.

Is Lord Trump King of the Trolls?

Hate Speech

Hate speech. The scourge of our time. It's just like the 1940s with millions of people being tortured and killed in gulags and KZs by words. That's right, violent, hate-filled words. Except they weren't, they were being killed by actions and they are today, ask a Christian in, say, Mosul.

Point being that words, in and of themselves, don't hurt anyone. Try it for yourself, say the most hateful words you can imagine, such as all Blue Heelers must die! and see if a single Blue drops dead because of your hate speech. Trust me, they'll probably look at you and beg for treats.

Where does that leave the heinous crime of hate speech? Let's cut to the chase and go Orwell. It's an attempt to erase thought crime, the precursor to real crime. And that's just it, hate speech, objectionable as it is, isn't a crime and the attempt to control our thoughts by force is. Where will it end? Let's guess.

A massive, violent, hate-filled lashback against the left.

Remember kids, everything the left enacts produces pretty much the opposite of its intended result. It's like an axiom and by way of a parting shot, remember how women's liberation was going to free women? To be what? Wage slaves. Now everyone has to work for their Illuminati overlords. 

So go ahead and beat people up for thought crime hate speech, but don't be surprised if your risible experiment in mind control backfires disastrously.

Trump Goes 2020

You may disagree and that's fine, there's no "rule," think what you like, but I thought Trump pretty much knocked it out of the ball park last night. And to be fair, the Democrats have created a minefield for themselves.

Such as the great Russia Hoax coup conspiracy, Hillary's 33,000 missing emails, the hate-filled attack on Kavanaugh, open borders migration vote grabbing masquerading as compassion and, perhaps above all, failure. 

The Democrats represent an established political status quo which oversaw the deindustrialization of great swathes of America and the subsequent impoverishment of the people. Trump hit on it, 60,000 factories shuttered since 2001, the date China joined the WTO, and with it the loss of at least 6 million jobs. Well done, trade deal geniuses.

Democrat solution? More of the same in an ever brighter rainbow flag. You might not have any jobs, proles, and we've become South America's welfare system, but think. At long last you can, finally, throw off the chains of cisgender oppression and use the trans bathroom at Harvard while beating women at track like the man you are! Sorry, woman. 

And Trump's a Russian spy who's literally Hitler, so forget about all the industry we shipped out of the country to make us rich while you live in the ghetto. Where you can get an abortion.

It's just not a great platform and Trump gave it a beating while playing to his strengths: jobs, manufacturing, rebuilding the military, not fighting endless wars, securing the border so we actually have a country, tax cuts, deregulation, putting America first in trade and not being ashamed of Christian values and the country itself. LL puts it well here.

Of course Satanists hate all this and haven't lost any time deploying their magic power to hex the President, so maybe it's a good thing last night's rally featured a prayer:

Paula White: “Father you have raised President Trump up for such a time as this… Let every demonic network that has aligned itself against the purpose, against the calling of President Trump, let it be broken, let it be torn down in the name of Jesus. Let the counsel of the wicked by spoiled now according to Job 17. I declare that President Trump will overcome every strategy from hell and every strategy from the enemy. Destroy and divide their tongues, Oh Lord.

Amen.

Fathers Day Washout

It was a simple plan, elegant even. Say Mass at the Missions, expound on the Trinity and then drive back to the Compound for an afternoon's Fathers Day grillout with the Recruit. What a great plan, then it fell apart.

The kid got roped into working for an elderly churchperson. Well done, charity is key, and there went the lunch component, but not to worry, adapt and move the grilling forward to the evening. Pleased with the evolving genius of the plan I watched clouds move in from the West, storm clouds, dark and ominous.

Boom, deluge, and that was the end of that. We consoled ourselves by sitting on the porch as lightning cracked, thunder rolled and rain poured down with all the fury of an enraged god, the Weather God, our ancient enemy.

Still, it was neat to watch the storm from the safety of the compound's porch. Like being on the bridge of a ship, I always think.

Try Not to Lose Your Lunch

In other exciting news, Groper Biden's apparently well ahead of 45 in the polls which is why the toothy politician's attracting such, ahem, massive crowds. Who knows, maybe Michelle will lurch out of left field and boost the Party's fortune. Think, what chance would Old White Privilege himself have against a transsexual woman of color? 

Candace For Press Secretary

Perhaps Trump would do well to counter this not inconsiderable threat by taking on Candace Owens as Press Secretary, as opposed to Stephanie Grisham. Just a thought.

Heathen Banding - Holy Trinity

Here we are, on the day of the Feast of the holy and undivided Trinity itself, so how to make sense of it all, how can God be three persons in one divine nature? 

Well, you couldn't make it up, especially if you wanted to start a religion and make some loot and that, for me, is a powerful proof of the revealed nature of the thing, its veracity.

Regardless, perhaps Frank Sheed lifts us up to the brink of mystery. From Theology For Beginners (do yourself a favor and get one, it's free): 

So God utters a word – not framed by the mouth, of course, for God has no mouth. He is pure spirit. So it is a word in the mind of God, not sounding outwardly as our words sound, akin rather to a thought or an idea. What idea produced in God’s mind could possibly be God? Christian thinking saw early that it could be only the idea God has of himself.

…the idea that God has of himself cannot be imperfect. Whatever is in the Father must be in his idea of himself, and must be exactly the same as it is in himself. Otherwise God would have an inadequate idea of himself, which would be nonsense. Thus, because God is infinite, eternal, all-powerful, his idea of himself is infinite, eternal, all-powerful. Because God is God, his idea is God. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God. And the Word was God.”

…Father and Son love each other, with infinite intensity. What we could not know, if it were not revealed to us, is that they unite to express their love and that the expression is a third divine person. In the Son, the Father utters his self-knowledge; in the Holy Spirit, Father and Son utter their mutual love.

Their love is infinite; its expression cannot be less, Infinite love does not produce itself finitely; it can no more produce inadequate expression than infinite knowledge can produce an inadequate idea. Each gives himself wholly to the outpouring of his love for the other, holding nothing back – indeed the very thought of holding back is ridiculous; if they give themselves at all, they can give themselves only totally – they possess nothing but their totality! The uttered love of Father and Son is infinite, lacks no perfection that they have, is God, a person, someone.

Make of this what you will but be very sure you don't go against it. That way leads to madness and destruction.  

In the meanwhile, heathen banding on the wall, if we could be bothered to build it. Chop, chop.

Your Friend,

Trinity

We celebrate the Feast of the Holy Trinity tomorrow and contemplate the revealed life of God as Father, Son and Spirit. A trinity of persons in unity of substance. I like this reflection from Fr. Crouse:

To know God as absolute Being, absolute Knowledge, and absolute Love, [Father, Son, Spirit] is to be spiritually reborn: it is to know ourselves as encompassed and upheld by Providential care, and thus it is to see our own lives in a new spiritual perspective. It is to lose ourselves in the worship of a goodness and a glory infinitely beyond ourselves, infinitely beyond all earthly things, infinitely beyond all worldly pretensions and pettiness. It is to see our troubles, our frustrations, our disappointments, our ambitions and achievements, all in a new spiritual perspective, "high and lifted up" -- a radically different perspective, the perspective of eternity. 

But perhaps we ask, with Nicodemus, "Is this really possible? Is this really practical? Can a man be born when he is old? How can these things be?" Nicodemus was a sensible man, no doubt: a Pharisee, a leader of the Jews, and he couldn't let go of his supposedly sensible, practical perspective. Jesus warned him, and Jesus warns us: unless you are spiritually reborn, you have no part in God's kingdom. "That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." It is what we worship that makes us what we are.

It is what we worship that makes us what we are. There's wisdom in that, to say nothing of the Holy and Undivided Trinity.

God bless,

What Dhimwits

Here's Blue Martel relaxing on an attractive Moslem rug, he's obviously not Islamophobic. Neither is Ss. Matthew & Luke Darlington, which offered to veil its crosses and a picture of Christ so that local Muslims could pray in the church without being offended. 

Offended by what? Christianity, of course, which this church used to represent. Christianity is the world's most persecuted religion. Too bad that places like Ss. Matthew & Luke are part of the problem.

Here at the Compound we call them dhimwhits.
