Who Are These Men?

We've been going through old pictures and found the above. Who are these men? Jagos, add-on founders of Denton, my Mother's people? Or just some random gang my Great Great Grandmother happened to know and like. Both options are more than possible, combined. 

That in mind, you get the feeling from the photo that there wasn't much law here back in the day. And think, "back in the day" means what, 1918-20? Something like that, and something like that wasn't so very far from the frontier and all that went with it. Respect.

Regardless, any help with a positive ID would be most appreciated.

Back In Dallas

 

At Dallas HQ on a pre-Christmas mission. Part of that involved going to Hunky's in Bishop Arts for excellent burgers. Seriously, they do a good job and you should go, but beware, it's not easy to find parking and you might have  deal with the Bat Woman muriel.

Rando Revolver

Huh, since when did Bat Woman free Palestine? Last year she was standing with Ukraine and the year before she was trusting the science, wearing a mask and getting vaxxed. Like no kidding, zhe's a right social trend barometer.

Genuinely Good Burger

Delicious burgers complete, we drove around the neighborhood, looking in awe at new apartment blocks going up in what was once shacktown ghetto. Smart people snapped those shacks up and guess what, now they're worth lots. 

A Wooden Tree With Glass

We balked at that investment opportunity, oh well, but did manage to set up a tree which glistens in the living room. Nice. In other news, the Pope's gone gay but not as gay as the Church of England, and the Senate's apparently some kind of bath house. And people are fleeing Democrat cities because Climate Change. But of course they are.

Gaudete!

 

Well here we are on sunny Advent III, Gaudete, Rejoice! And so we must, not least after three Masses, the last being in Spanish. Vaguely on topic, the diocese kindly fired off a Mexican deacon to the Missions and what a good man.

El Senor con ustedes? Y con tu espiritu, type of thing. Speaking of which, since when did a country having a border become Fascist? Since the Left decided to go hell for broke immigrant votes. Not that I'm complaining, though my legal Deacon might. He's all about El Senor, Trump, so we get on just fine. 

Regardless, here's Farrer by way of spiritual illumination:

JESUS gave his body and blood to his disciples in bread and wine. Amazed at such a token, and little understanding what they did, Peter, John and the rest reached out their hands and took their master and their God.  Whatever else they knew or did not know, they knew they were committed to him, body and soul; they were consenting that he should die for them, and that they, somehow, should live it out.  The cock had not crowed twice that night before Peter thrice denied, but still he knew he was committed to Christ, for Christ had given him his body and his blood.  Christ’s body and blood lived in him, and Christ forgave him; there was no breaking of the sacramental tie.  We are not worthy of Christ, but we are bound to Christ.  With all the sincerity of our minds let us renew the bond, and pray to live for him who has died for us.

 

Bless you all,

Oh Look, It's A Satanic Goat Skull And Pentagram In The Iowa State Capitol

 

Perhaps you've been following the story, viz., Iowa's Governor Kim Reynolds allowing a satanic goat head idol shrine to be set up in the State Capital. Nice, Hail Satan and right in time for Christmas. You can imagine the Satanic Templars polishing their pointed teeth in ironic glee, "Take that, you stupid Christian bigots." But others weren't so keen.

"Nothing much to see here, just a Satanic Baphomet horned goat skull in a cape and a blood red pentagram on display in the Iowa State Capitol. Pretty much par for the course in government buildings at Christmas now, right?" posted Iowa State Representative Brad Sherman on social media.

Exactly, just a Satanic Baphomet horned goat skull in a cape and a blood red pentagram on display in the Iowa State Capitol, in Advent. What an offensive mockery of the Faith, seemingly endorsed by the State of Iowa in the name of religious freedom. Can you imagine such a thing sitting well with the framers of the First Amendment?

Of course not, and it didn't sit well with reserve Navy pilot Michael Cassidy, who drove to Iowa and beheaded the blasphemous Baphomet idol in an act of "Christian civil disobedience." Cassidy then handed himself in to Capitol Security and has been charged with criminal mischief. 

Keen-eyed readers will note that destroying statues of heroic gentlemen, like General Lee and JEB Stuart is applauded by today's polity. But goat head satan idols? Not so much, they get a pass.

Mark me well, it's all a larf 'til you're in a Wicker Man and it's on fire.

What Are Your Politics?

 

Such an obnoxious question, and that in mind I remember standing decades ago before a roaring fire at a drinks party, in a soutane no less. An untidy woman came up, announced herself as a social worker and asked, "What are your politics?" 

Resisting the urge to say, "Dam your impudence," I held fire while a senior priest leaned over and offered, "I wouldn't ask him, dear, he's Hitler's chaplain." She walked off, discomforted. But that was then, this is now. What are your politics? Well I can't speak for all three of you who read this Space Reich mind blog, but I can speak for myself. 

Henrietta Maria

In sum: Both parties are unfit-for-purpose copies of something they might once have been; labels giving people the illusion of choice in their governance. Call it it a Uniparty if you like, a uniparty which has become increasingly intent on enriching itself at the expense of the people it governs. By all means call it a self-serving oligarchy, made all the more revolting for hiding and masquerading under leftist, liberationist slogans.

OK, we could go on into further tyranny but what's the positive, what do you actually stand for, as opposed to against. Good question. For me: The Catholic Faith, once delivered, and by extension, No Bishop No King. 

Newbury 2

I guess that'd make me a Monarchist, as above so below? In the meanwhile, do we even have elections anymore? Asking for a friend before zhe gets arrested.

BREATH TAX

 

Tax That Terrorism

Everyone knows we're in a war, a bitter war, a vicious war, a no-holds-barred war against a ruthless enemy, the Weather. You see, what happens is this. Thanks to man-made Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions, fragile planet earth is shrouded in CO2 and heats up like a greenhouse, which melts the glaciers and floods Vanatu and Martha's Vineyard. Disaster.

So Not Satanic

Polar bears die, sad, and multi-million dollar mansions get washed away in the flood of rising sea water, tragic. Awful, and it's all down to Carbon Dioxide being spewed out by us, humans. So to save the planet we must stamp out Carbon Dioxide. Yes, you may even have heard the slogan, NET ZERO. That means no more. Absolutely zero CO2. The venerable if shrinking Church of England's all in favor of this, obviously, but here's the thing.

Note Bear

Humans produce CO2, Carbon Dioxide, it's a function of breathing, and accounts for 0.1% of the UK's Gaia destroying carbon emissions says the Sceptered Isle's Daily Mail. This is a problem, to put it mildly. Here at the Compound we propose a solution, tax the air. Here's a song:

On topic, don't you think?

War

 

Do you remember how experts predicted the useless, rubbish, totally not fit for service Russian army would be ejected from the Ukraine sometime last year? 

Sure you do, those stupid subhuman Slavs were all about to lose Crimea, the Donbass, Luhansk and everything else, hell, a victorious NATO/UKR combined arms battlegroup was gonna take Moscow itself, or at least make it quake and dethrone terminally sick Putin.

what useless peasants

Nice, and it seemed to be working. The idiotic peasant Russkies failed to take Kiev, in fact they retreated, and then they lost Kherson, Izium, and all the rest, just showing how corrupt and useless they were. How idiotic of Vlad Putler to nonsensically wage war against the Garden of our totally free democratic rainbow utopias. What an unhinged autocrat.

Right. 2014 STATE coup/maidan aside, things haven't been going so well for Victoria "Fat Devil Dog" Nuland, far from it. Russia hasn't collapsed, wondrously. On the contrary, they're getting stronger, with over 600k soldiers in the SMO.

good thing WWIII isn't on the table anymore

I know, a small number by historic standards, see BAGRATION, but still. And guess what? Russia manufactures stuff like artillery shells on its own soil, they have factories. No kidding, they really do, and they're churning out tanks and IFVs 24/7.

Point being, we don't. We've off-shored/asset stripped our manufacturing and can't make things like millions of steel artillery shells or ships or planes or guns or anything else needed to fight the industrial scale war which was never supposed to happen. It seems, my dear friends, that Vladimir Putin called the West's bluff.

idiotic subhumans who are going to lose any day now

England, the once great lion whose roar woke the world, has, maybe, 150 aging tanks and perhaps 12 long range artillery pieces. France, La Belle France, has, apparently, 90 serious guns, wow, and pathetic Germany has enough ammo to fight for two days on the battlefield, according to the WSJ.

Dear readers, at the risk of ad naus, I say again with emphasis: The Western Power, in particular Europe, has lied to itself for several decades, kidding itself that it will never, ever, ever have to fight a major war again. Instead, pump all that cash into vote winning migrant assets and Rainbow Baphomet take the hindmost.

huh

Seems to me, and it's just an ill-informed guess, that Christian Russia's  called out the LGBTQ+ unicorn riding godless West on this score. Of course time will tell.

Per the WSJ: 

Europe has “systematically demilitarized itself because it didn’t need to spend the money,” thanks to the lack of an apparent threat and U.S. military dominance around the globe, said Anthony King, a professor of war studies at the University of Warwick. “They have basically gone to sleep.”

A Short Advent Reflection

 

What a beautiful drive to Mission #2 for evening Mass as the sun tried to break through the clouds. "This," I thought gravely to myself, "is Texas." Mind like a steel trap, you see, but en lieu of anything beyond bears, climate change and impending civil war, here's Austin Farrer on the season, behold wisdom:

OUR journey sets out from God in our creation, and returns to God at the final judgement.  As the bird rises from the earth to fly, and must some time return to the earth from which it rose; so God sends us forth to fly, and we must fall back into the hands of God at last.  But God does not wait for the  failure and the expiry of our days to drop us back into his lap.  He goes himself to meet us and everywhere confronts us.  Where is the countenance which we must finally look in the eyes, and not be able to turn away our head?  It smiles up at Mary from the cradle, it calls Peter from the nets, it looks on him with grief when he has denied his master.  Our judge meets us at every step of our way, with forgiveness on his lips and succour in his hands.  He offers us these things while there is yet time.  Every day opportunity shortens, our scope for learning our Redeemer’s love is narrowed by twenty-four hours, and we come nearer to the end of our journey, when we shall fall into the hands of the living God, and touch the heart of the devouring fire.

 

Touch the heart of the devouring fire. I love that.

Bear Attacks Surge In Japan

 

2023 is a record year for bear attacks in Japan, that fabled land of the rising sun. Yes, some 203 persyns have been attacked by the furry beasts this years alone, a record. According to CNN via Breitbart, the hungry bears are looking for acorns and find tasty human flesh instead:

“The thing is that you can have years of bad harvests and years of good harvest of acorns,” contends Maki Yamamoto of Nagaoka University of Technology. “And when the harvest is bad, the bears cannot store enough energy before hibernation by eating mountain acorns alone, so they get closer to human settlements looking for fruits, chestnuts, persimmons, walnuts, and farm products in general.”

So why the sudden uptick in ursine attack? Climate Change, obviously, which is why we all need to be taxed moar or we'll get eaten by bears.
