Zadok The Priest
Hail To the Chief Or What
How did Sleepy Joe, popularly known as "The Corpse," get all those votes, by campaigning? No, he didn't have to. He relied on charisma and mass, popular, grass roots appeal. That's why more people voted for him than for any other president in the history of ever. He's just that popular, hands down, no holds barred.
No wonder, then, that the Corpse's Inauguration party will be limited to members of Congress. They'll be fortunate enough to hear acclaimed Illuminati popstar genius Lady Gaga sing the national anthem as they exchange gifts en lieu of the traditional lunch. And they'll also be guarded by some 25,000 part time soldiers, because Joe Biden's just that popular.
Seriously, if you buy into this shameless, brazen, autocratic fraud you need your head examined. And don't even think of blaming Trump on Jamiroquai's Capitol takeover. If 45 had wanted a coup or a putsch he could have called it, right there and then on January 6. He had the people and he had the numbers, unlike the Corpse. But he didn't. So stop the stupid, ignorant, low-info, dumbass rhetoric about Beer Hall.
No, Trump didn't attempt a bizarre latter day Fascist coup, but someone else has, and DC's occupied by what, two divisions of soldiers. And why? Because Joe Biden's just so very, very popular. What a fraudulent, faked up, exhibition of chicanery, malfeasance and skulduggery. To put it mildly.

The Dorset Ooser
The news cycle moves fast, but some may remember the horned DC protester popularly known as "Jamiroquai." Is the horned anarchist the latest example of the ancient pagan cult of the Dorset Ooser, alive and kicking in the US? Alan Delgarde reports from the UK:
The horned headdress of a protestor at the heart of the riots and invasion of the US Capitol building in Washington on 6th January may have been inspired by an ancient ritual mask known as the 'Dorset Ooser.'
The horned protester has been named in news reports as Jake Angeli who goes by the on-line moniker 'QAnon Shaman.' He stood out among demonstrators at the centre of the invasion of the US Capitol on 6th January and features on photos which have circulated around the world. His distinctive headgear resembles the image of the Dorset Ooser, still used in in mid-winter and mid-summer re-enactments and ceremonies today.
A replica of the horned headgear is preserved at Dorset County Musuem in Dorset. It is a copy of the originals of the mid-winter mask once used at Melbury Osmund and also at Shillingstone where, by the 19th century, it had become known as 'the Christmas Bull'.
The donning of horns, weird masks and strange animal costumes is a widespread tradition and, in various forms, is recognised as a European wide-folk custom practised in rural areas since ancient times. The custom was condemned by the early Church and later associated with the figure of the devil.
In Archbishop Theodore of Canterbury's (668-690 AD) Liber Poenitentialis (Penitential Book) wearing animal heads was condemned as 'devilish.'
"(He) goes about as a stag or a bull; that is, making himself into a wild animal and dressing in the skin of a herd animal, and putting on the heads of beasts; those who in such wise transform themselves into the appearance of a wild animal, penance for three years because this is devilish."
It is striking how this headgear worn by the 21st century protester so closely resembles the seasonal folk costume worn for centuries in disorderly folk customs in ancient Britain and Europe, and is now sported at exactly the same point in the winter calendar in the Capitol of the United States.
Is the QAnon Shaman an example of a faked up Fed mimicking Old World archetypal folk customs emerging in the New World or just another Anarcho-Marxist crisis actor out for cheap thrills and kicks, or both?
As always, you the reader be the judge.
Your Friend,

A Miracle!
I managed to buy a valupak of 12 ammo today and celebrated the miracle with hot dogs. Thanks, LL, for the inspiration. Speaking of which, here's a photo of a Tech Giant caught in the act of taking down Parler. Via Virtual Mirage:
Let's hope this sinister enemy of free speech was brought to swift and decisive justice.
Shoot straight, if you can find any bullets.

They're Coming to Gitchoo
Winter Wonderland!
It started off as cold, sleety rain, and then our Old Adversary the Weather escalated the fight. Yes, it began to snow. "Well that's exciting," I thought as I fired up a Mission for Mass, "Snow, in Texas." But here's the thing, it didn't stop, on the contrary, it intensified.
By the time Mass was over and we opened the doors of the church and looked outside, there it was, a veritable winter wonderland. "Haven't seen anything like this in ten years," said one churchman. "This is more snow than we had in Oklahoma," said another, mysteriously. And I agreed, we haven't seen this much snow here since the great Global Warming blizzard of 2010. Exciting.
Back at the Compound I started getting calls from Mission #2. Like, "We've had to turn around, padre, sorry about that," or, "We fishtailed on 56 and headed back, didn't want to risk it." Also the power was down in the area, so we called a snow day on the service and I emailed the crew with a "make your Spiritual Communion" reminder. Then what?
Brush the snow off your rig and take a recce through town. No small thing, I tell you. It was like the Kharkov Front, or maybe Narnia. Still, I wasn't complaining, it's rare to see anthropogenic global warming like this in the great state of Texas.
I know, same-old, same-old for everyone living north of the border, but a big thing here. So too, apparently, with the Corpse and the Whore's incoming ascension to power; all the shotgun ammo was gone at Walmart yesterday, no fooling. Never seen such a thing before, make of it what you will.
In the meanwhile, snow continues to fall.

A Gentle Reflection
Well here we are. Twitter's banned the President of the US, the GOP's baying for the blood of the anarchists(?) who got into the Capitol and stole Pelosi's laptop, and the FBI are working round the clock to bring the perps to justice. Election fraud on an industrial scale obviously wasn't worth the time, eh? But where to from here.
Good question, will our cold civil war become hot? It might, given current levels of anger and dehumanization, to say nothing of the fact that everyone's armed to the teeth. No epiphany there, though perhaps the utter lack of spine on the part of the GOP is an eyeopener, or not.
