Dear Mr. Fantasy

 

Go on, play us a tune, and then some:

Wow, Mr. Winwood's got it all going on and if a session singer seems eerily familiar, well, so be it.

Rock on,

Diversity Is Our Strength

 

Or is it? Perhaps our enemies scent weakness

And degeneracy

Which is so stupid because everyone knows diversity's a force multiplier on the battleground as the enemy falls over laughing. You see? Winning strategy.

So over the Rainbow,

Babylon Bee Satan

 

Is it just me or is the Bee taking over where SNL dismally let off? Here's Satan telling Democrats to tone down the evil:

What A Beautiful Evening

 

What a beautiful Texan  May evening in this small rural haven betwixt the Metrosprawl and Waco. Not too hot, not too cold, just right. A bit like California, perhaps, with the benefit of not being in California. 

Ah yes, how delightful, but of course this will change, as 6 digit temps come blasting through the ether like a troop of TOS 2s working out on the Unicorn Brigade in Chasov Yar. Terrifying.

Still, for now, all's well unlike, for example, worshiping attendance in the Church of England, being a member of Iran's top governance or living in Oakland, where they've got rid of traffic lights because homeless thieving.

In other news, Crypto's surging, with ETH leading the pack, and everyone's favorite token isn't doing badly either. Come on, DOGE, stop messing around and run. 

Speaking of which, more than a few bulls see exponential crypto growth between 2030-35.  That in mind, I'm diamond hands long and we'll see how this strategy plays out in the fullness of time. In the meanwhile, you might want to watch silver too, just in case you're not.

Cheers,

SUPERGROUP

 

Yes, there's one Supergroup and that's Blind Faith. If you argue against this you've already lost, so there it is. That said, Stevie Boy ducked right in there and played the Mass music for my dad. And I recall this, standing in his space ship recording studio in the Cotswolds. 

"You know," said the giga pop star, "I wish I was you, studying theology in London." I didn't get it, then, being a fool. It makes sense, now.

Pentecost 2024

Fifty days after the Passover, the Holy Spirit descended upon the disciples with great power and so began the mission of the Church.

St. Luke tells us in Acts that the Spirit filled the house where the disciples were gathered like a rushing wind, alighting on their heads as tongues of fire. Wind and fire, ancient mystical signs of the creative life giving power or energy of God and of his presence

Wind, think of the Spirit hovering over the waters of creation, breathing life into clay of Adam, animating Ezekiel's dry bones. Fire, from which God spoke to Moses from the burning bush and led Israel through the wilderness by night, fire which fell upon Horeb to the dismay of the heathen priests.

Wind and fire, the creative energy of God and the burning love of his presence, with this the Holy Spirit descended upon the disciples at Pentecost with power. Lo and behold, but was the date of descent significant in itself? Surely yes.

The Jewish Feast of Pentecost was and is a celebration of two things, thanksgiving for the early harvest, and a celebration of the giving of the Law on Mount Sinai. The giving of the Law by God himself, signified by the fire which enveloped the summit of the mountain on which he stood, his presence proclaimed by a trumpet call blown by the the divine breath. Yet again, the wind and fire of the Spirit.

This Pentecost, the Pentecost of the Upper Room, is therefore a new Sinai, a new giving of the Law, the new Law of Divine Love, engraved this time upon the human heart instead of stone. Filled, then, with an ecstasy of Divine Love, the disciples proclaim the Good News of salvation in Christ, they begin to reap the harvest, the harvest of souls for eternal life. So, the ancient Feast is gloriously recapitulated and fulfilled. It is so miraculously.

Devout Jews from every nation, gathered together for the Feast, hear the universal language of the Gospel, each in their own tongue and with that the curse of Babel is lifted. As man blasphemously attempted to scale heaven, only to be struck down in confusion and discord, so now God descends to earth, uniting us to himself and to each other in the Word of Truth.

Yes indeed, a harvest, and we read that some 3000 souls were converted on that day, and it didn't stop there. The Apostles went on to the ends of the then known earth, bringing souls to salvation, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. Their successors, Bishops, Priests, Deacons and the faithful people of God do so today and this will continue to the close of the age. And let me tell you this.

Those who go against the Holy Spirit, against Truth Himself, will be relentlessly destroyed by that same Spirit. Then again, those who side with the Spirit will have life and truth and freedom and all that's good. 

Your Call,

LSP

Come, Thou holy Paraclete,

And from Thy celestial seat

Send Thy light and brilliancy:

Father of the poor, draw near;

Giver of all gifts, be here;

Come, the soul’s true radiancy.

This One's For Wild

 

Sorry, Neil, but I remember playing Sweet Home at great volume from an upper story flat in Lamb's Conduit Street, London, of all places, in the '90's. 

Far-Sighted Readers Will Spot LSP Overwatch On The Fourth Floor

The people down below on the street liked it, a lot. But that was then, this is now. Turn it up.

Good call, Wild,

Warsaw Bans Crucifixes

 

Warsaw's radical leftist globohomo mayor Rafał Trzaskowski has banned crucifixes and religious symbols from public buildings and instructed government workers to use gender neutral language and preferred pronouns. This will, apparently, make Warsaw's civic governance less discrimnatory. Unless, of course, you're Christian.

In related news, NATO supremo Jens Rainbow Stoltenberg has told the world that our mighty military alliance exists to defend gayness.

Imagine all those new soldiers, sailors and air persyns flocking to fight for the Rainbow Alliance of Gayness. Thanks, Stoltenberg, for solving our recruitment crisis. And in response to the former skulduggery, the Green Pontif's predictably said nothing other than bad mouth traditional Catholics. Go figure.

DFTR

 

Are you worried? A little bit future testy, sitting in your wretched little foxhole? If so, buck up and Don't Fear The Reaper, kids, unless maybe you should. Speaking of which, M, a seasoned session singer outta Minneapolis (?) told me back in the halcyon she was suffering from "catholic guilt." Huh.

"What, m'dear have you done wrong?" She laughed and we moved on from there into the wilds of Shoreditch and Columbia Road's flower market, , it was cool then. After that? Well, everyone went home to bed, obvs.

OBEY CSNY

 

Uplifting and educational, don't you think? Here's some snappy suits, via Infidel:

yes, it was better then, and even that was really bad

Along with pop music, see above early CSNY video, what can we say, apart from attractively vintage suits speaking of the elegance of a bygone age?

OBEY,

POINTER SISTERS STEPPIN
