The Music Of The Church

 

The Western Rite, dear friends, has beautiful music and it's part of our inheritance, an inheritance which has been trashed by the vandals who took control of our worship some 50 years ago. Out went plainsong, in came banalsong, nylon vestments and industrial attack language vernacular. The argument was and is simple, unless we ape secular fashion and trend we won't appeal to all the secularists.

So, get rid of our liturgy and music and all those disbelievers will come flocking to church, just you wait and see. Well, we've waited and we've seen, they haven't, go figure, step back in utter dumbfounded amazement. Vatican Two? Empty the pew. But all's not lost, listen to the Sisters of Aquinas sing the Veni Creator.

What is that, a seven person schola/choir? I tell you, If my country missions had even a four part equivalent people would drive for tens and tens of miles to worship with them, no kidding. We would stand out in the beauty of holiness, a beauty which the world and all of us badly need.

Surely a 4 person plainsong choir could be achieved, even in rural Texas, right here for the glory of God. That said, you might be surprised to know how hard such a thing is to achieve. Praise bands? Different story. But I won't bang on.

Veni,

The Persians Are Revolting

 

It looks as though the Mullahs are about to go down in an Iran which will soon become Persia again. Thousands, some report millions, are on the streets protesting an Islamist regime which rose to power with the unholy help of Marxists in 1979. Nioh Berg reports on social media:

I can't overstate how monumental tonight is, as someone who has followed every major uprising since 2009.

The islamic regime has always fallen back on two things when pressured into a corner: 

1) Communication blackout

2) Mass murder

This has always worked in the past, silencing Iranians into going home battered, scared and traumatised. 

This time however, Iranians responded to both 1 and 2 by coming out in even greater numbers. This has NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. I tell you this as someone who saw the images of Neda Agha-Soltan's dying breaths in 2009, who saw the 2017 uprising crushed, who saw the 2019 November blackout and massacre, who saw the 2022 uprising fizzle into nothing after relentless oppression.

Not only has this movement not died out - for the first time there is a commanding leader and a guiding voice who makes calls and decisions for his people. He is the Shah of Iran, and the vast majority of Iran has proven to want him back on the throne. Nobody can deny this any longer.

And now, we have a unified Iran defying regime blackouts AND regime massacres, organising and fighting back, inflicting real and devastating casualties. There has been nothing like this ever. The regime did not expect people to come back out.

I repeat: This wasn't supposed to happen. This is a living nightmare for the mullahs and all their cheerleaders.

I don't know what happens next. All I know is this has moved from an uprising to a revolution.

 

You'll be unsurprised to know that protestors are burning down mosques, torching government buildings and going hard in the streets. You'll also be amazed to know that the BBC hasn't covered this revolution; surely they wouldn't want to offend the Islamo-Marxist vote on their home turf.

Thanks to Elon Musk and Starlink, the revolution's televised on X, the same platform Kier Starmer and his merry band of Crescent Moon Bolsheviks want to ban in the UK. Odd that, ain't it.

A mosque set ablaze in Tehran at Kaj Square.

Why do you think the good Iranian people — fighting for their freedom (and indirectly our freedom) — did this?

The Shah of Iran, Reza Pahlavi, issued this request tonight on social media:

Mr. President, this is an urgent and immediate call for your attention, support, and action. Last night you saw the millions of brave Iranians in the streets facing down live bullets. Today, they are facing not just bullets but a total communications blackout. No Internet. No landlines.

Ali Khamenei, fearing the end of his criminal regime at the hands of the people and with the help of your powerful promise to support the protesters, has threatened the people on the streets with a brutal crack down. And he wants to use this blackout to murder these young heroes.

I have called the people to the streets to fight for their freedom and to overwhelm the security forces with sheer numbers. Last night they did that. Your threat to this criminal regime has also kept the regime’s thugs at bay. But time is of the essence. The people will be on the streets again in an hour. I am asking you to help.

You have proven and I know you are a man of peace and a man of your word. Please be prepared to intervene to help the people of Iran.

Following the Pahlavi's statement protests intensified, with many of those taking to the streets in their thousands chanting for the Shah's return.

The Most Albertan Man In The World

 

Let's take a break from deranged lesbian poet persyns getting shot, an Oreshnik hitting Lvov, the BBC's risible failure to cover Persians overthrowing their hated Islamic overlords and French people getting sent to gaol for "cyber bullying" Macron's husband figure. 

Yes, they accused, ahem, Brigitte, of being a man and got sent to prison. Truth apparently hurts. But enough of that, move on to something more uplifting, like Albertan independence. Check it out.

And again.

Hard winters made him. Common sense armed him.

Some men chase approval. He collects signatures.

They wanted a compliant Alberta. Instead they got an Albertan awakening.

Reliable sources in Canada's Cow Town tell me they've had enough of Ottawa, and who can blame them. Imagine how prosperous Albertans would be if they weren't shackled to the Rainbow Stasi State which bleeds them dry, supposedly for their own benefit. As in, "Look here, rich province, send all your money to the poor provinces, like Quebec, and then you'll be richer."

Classic Leftist logic, the poorer you are, the richer you'll be, just wait and see. Not unlike Climate Change, when you think on it. Oh look, it's so much hotter now, which is why it's colder. So pay us moar tax.

C'mon, Alberta break free,

Renee Not So Good

 

Who is this "Krassenstein" persyn anyway, if that's his real name, which we doubt. JDV? Different story, rock on. In related news, a lesbian poetess who drove her car from Missouri to Minneapolis to harass ICE agents got shot while trying to run over one of the agents she tried to harass and kill. Renee leaves behind her a wife, not that women can have wives, and a child.

What a tragedy. All she/her was/were had to do was look after her kid, not get infected by the woke mind virus, not drive to an ersatz "workers revolt" in Minny and attempt to run over ICE agents. Simple. But no, Renee couldn't do that. Her faux wife figure's evidently upset about this and blames zhirself. Maybe she should.

So look, Leftists, at what you've caused. A woman's dead because of your Kool-Aid agitprop and a child's left without its Mother. All because you want to yawningly larp at civil rights in 2026. You'll note, dear readers, all three of you, that people of color aren't turning out in their hundreds of thousands for this Lesbyterian martyr. Why would they? That in mind, what utter carnage the Left and its bankster sponsors have wreaked upon our once civilized society. 

Here, look what they took from us:

An enchanting glimpse of Edwardian elegance captured in England, 1901. Gentlemen doffing hats to the camera, little girls in bonnets, and families with huge prams. A beautiful 125 year old film with charming new details emerging every time you watch it. pic.twitter.com/EluHrEK9gz

Point being, we don't have to live this way, surrounded by ugliness, violence, grift, graft, fraud, skulduggery and malfeasance, to say nothing of a valueless secular void. Look, even the classical pagans were better than us, at least their cities and associated art were beautiful. I won't bang on, you get the point.

In the meanwhile, the Left's howling, shrieking, getting shot, and breaking out in hives because the US is actually obeying its own laws and enforcing immigration controls. Since when, fellow psychonauts, did a country having a border become Fascist?

Some people are saying, "Look what you can do when you're actually allowed to fight." Others are saying, "What next?" Good question.

Here at the Compound we pooled our geostrategic brains and came up with this. Rainbow Fortress Europa is clearly a lost cause, irrelevant. They can't even power their own homes much less industry, despite all their windmills, transexual surgery, and solar panels. That leaves America, Russia and Chyna.

How unpleasant

A tripartite world or, if you care to be classical, a Triumvirate. That in mind, how will the US, hegemon that it clearly is, deal with 30T$+ in debt? Simple. Reset the currency with a Trump Mark, backed by gold obviously, and go from there. One fiat, dear friends, deserves another.

In the meanwhile, Great Britain's well behind the 8 Ball, sunk in self-loathing for its glorious past. What can we say?

Benefits Of A Small Country Town

 

Behold the bucolic boulevards of Olde Texas

There was a time, dear friends, and not so long ago, when I'd have laughed at you for suggesting I'd end up in rural North Central Texas. "Ha, ha!" I'd exclaim, "Don't be stupid." Well the joke was on me and almost 18 years later here we are. Complaining? No, thanking God.

You see, here in the country the air's clear, the pace of life slower and more human, and, let's be honest, it's often more convenient. Say you want to go to the post office, DMV, police station, dry cleaners, supermarket or any of those things. Guess what, just a two minute drive or short walk away.

Don't you dare trespass. That's a positive.

That in mind, the rig caught a nail in the front door passenger side wheel and was slowly losing air. In the metrosprawl? All kinds of hassle. Here? Call up Tom's Tire after Morning Prayer (1928 BCP, thank you very much) and ask, "Hey, can you fix my tire, it's got a nail." Sure, they reply, bring it over. And so I did, easy, country style. And then?

Walked back home along the leafy boulevards of Olde Texas, answered church emails and then, after a call from the shop, wandered back again to the land of tires and trucks. "That'll be 40 bucks, Mr LSP, here's the nail." I gazed at the offending nail, "Appreciate you, man," and that was that.

Miserable Offender

Easy. Everything would've been harder in Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston. It might have been forbidden in Austin, San Francisco, London or Paris, but here in Hill County all was well. Did you know, punters, that Hill County Texas was, apparently, neutral ground for various warring tribes before we arrived in force?

All best for the great Feast of the Epiphany.

All Hail Texas,

Aaaaand He's Gone

 

Tim Waltz, Governor of Somalia Minnesota, the very same he/him man that ran as Vice President on the Kamala Harris ticket, has told the world he's not running for reelection. Can't think why, because he was so awesome, apart from massive, egregious levels of vote importation fraud, skulduggery and malfeasance. All masquerading as compassion and tolerance. Try not to throw up in your mouth.

What the Devil is This?

And so it seems that Mogadishu Tim's decided to retire from the cursus, but not before the damage was done. Viz. Importing hundreds of thousands of Allahu-Snackbar votes into Minnesota, of all places. How did such an utterly unlikely thing happen, as in hordes of desert Moslem savages being welcomed into the ice-bound Mid West?

Libby Lane Bishop Figure of the Diocese of Derby. Don't say some kind of joke

Doktor Swankenstein, who knows about such things, suggests suicidal empathy brought on by rainbow Lutheranism. Not, when you reflect for a second, unlike the Episcopal Church, the Church of England, United Methodists, Presbyterians and apostate Romans.

To him, Boye

Be that as it may. If we can launch a carrier group at VZ, capture its president and his wife and kill all his Cubans, all of that, why can't we sort out the traitors and Globalist Shill Illuminati criminals in our midst, on our home turf.  

Good question, right?

Damme,

PS. Waltz was always a pathetic joke. Democrats, hire a better PR firm.

Today Venezuela, tomorrow Greenland? Katie Miller suggests "SOON" on  social media, provoking Denmark to freak out and swallow its tongue. This will be the end of NATO! they rage and fume. What if nobody with an actual army happens to care.

Then there's Canada, waiting to be liberated from commie oppression. Except maybe Ontario, which can exist in a Rainbow Utopia all of its own. Also the UK, just waiting to be freed from socialist sock puppet Kier Starmer and his merry band of bolsheviks. But maybe that's too far afield, for now.

Have to take care of our own backyard first, you see.

Time To Go - A Short Sunday Homily

 

One narco-terrorist commie dictator down, how many more to go? It's quite a list, but a name stands out. He lives in a shiny fronted black house in central London. C'mon, WAR HEGSETH, here's the postal address:

                                          10 Downing Street

                                          London

                                          SW1A 2AA

                                          United Kingdom

                                          SW1A 2AA

For goodness sake, it's not as though the UK's commie tyrant is even protected by an air force, army or air defense. No, the Sceptered Isle spent all the money needed for its defense on importing votes, trans theater workshops, DEI, money money laundering via Venezuela, and Carbon Commissars (interesting. Ed.). Point being, if we can seamlessly take out Maduro, why not 2TK (Two-Tier kier).

🚨🇺🇸🇹🇷🇮🇷 A dozen US C-17A Globemaster III transports arrived at RAF Fairford, UK, unloading at least five MH-60 Black Hawks and one MH-47G Chinook from the 160th SOAR, plus several CV-22B Ospreys from the USAF's 7th Special Operations Squadron.

Venezuela Reflection

 

Diversity Is Our Strength

Like wow, I no sooner post BOC's awesome Godzilla than SOCOM goes kinetic. What a raid, leaves Skorzeny in the techno dust, and now Maduro's getting the perp walk in New York. A message to Commie Mamdani? Yeah, and every other corrupt rainbow leftist that ever there was. What can we say?

The Venezuelan flex leaves risible Rainbow Europa and Whitehall looking peculiarly irrelevant, as in nobody cares what you think. Russia and Chyna? A strong signal, to put it mildly, stay out of our back yard, dammit, and let's hear it for Monroe. More broadly, some call it the end of globalist orthodoxy and a return to multipolar national interest.

Perhaps, but what do you think, so-called LSP? Good question. On the one hand, a bravura display of military power or, in the hideous language of our technocrat overlords, force projection. Respect, world take note. On the other, who will we choose to run Venezuela? Pressing issue, surely. One commenter on this shallow and frivolous mind blog offered a timely caveat:

The Bush Doctrine is apparently back. I wonder if Venezuela will be a better place now with the Carlyle Group running their ports, BlackRock controlling their shipping, the Gates Foundation running their farmlands, Musk running their media, Bezos running their economy, Pfizer running their healthcare, Palantir in charge of their security, and Royal Dutch Shell extracting their resources. Let's not forget too, Trump's Ambassador-at-Large---Log Cabin Republican Ric Grenell---who'll make sure that the Catholics down there accept the Rainbow Agenda.

 

Thanks, Night Wind, good call. But Bush doctrine? I don't see a ground invasion here but what can I say, situation developing. Still, NW's corporate interest caveat in mind, who will we chose to take over this oil rich state? Who knows. And also this.

The late Roman Republic fell, it would seem, into Empire, Imperium; as Roman conquest added up from Carthage on, delenda est, so too did tribute/tax money. In the end the cross currents of greed, power, ambition and the Republican mores of a free if now imperial city clashed. The upshot? 

After a brutal civil war, Octavian won and became Augustus, the Empire had an Emperor. Fast forward to the 6th Century AD and a desolate city in ruins and a deserted Via Sacra. Do you think, dear friends, that history rhymes?

SPQR,

LSP

47 Goes Hard

 

Well that wasn't on my bingo card and neither, apparently, was it on Maduro's. Wow, US spec ops swooped in and bagged Venezuela's president, who's now on a boat to New York. Say what you like, but it certainly goes hard.

A young sergeant called me up in the wake of the news, "Dad, I'm out of a job." I reflected on this for about two seconds, "Why, son?" Because, obviously, "we don't need Big Army to fight and win wars anymore." He was joking but you get the point.

Reconquista

 

Today, dear friends, is the anniversary of the Reconquista in Spain. You've perhaps been taught  that the Crusades were acts of vicious white colonial oppression against peaceful, civilized, algebraic Muslims. Not so fast, punters.

Within a century of the prophetic warlord's arrival in the sands of what's now Saudi Arabia, his fanatic followers had swept through the Persian and Eastern Roman empires, carrying all before them. In fairness, Rome and Persia had recently exhausted themselves in a vicious, bloody and expensive war, neither were fit to fight the savage whirlwind that swept upon them from the desert.

Neither was Visigothic Spain, which fell to the Saracen war horde in the early 8th century AD. Imagine that, Spain itself under Moslem control, your churches turned to mosques, your women raped and enslaved and you, what's left of you, forced to pay Jizya, the unbelievers tax, to your new Mohammedan overlords.

The Crusades were launched to defend Christendom from this very real threat, and in Spain they succeeded. From a small stronghold in the Asturias, and over seven centuries, Christian warriors fought back against the followers of the false prophet until the Moslems were utterly defeated. On January 2, 1492, the Catholic Monarchs, Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile, took control of the Emirate of Granada, the final remaining Moslem sovereignty in Iberia.

Spain, Vivat Hispania!, followed up her success by conquering Mexico and all things south of the border. if only they had turned their attention to North Africa as well, then life would be very different. Gold, surely, got in the way. 

This in mind, do you think the first Reconquista will be echoed by a second?

Go Go Godzilla

 

Here we are at the beginning of a whole new year, a future space awaiting fulfillment (excuse me, did you just write that? Ed.) and what better band do we have to lean on than Blue Oyster Cult.  Viz. Godzilla and Don't Fear The Reaper. Here they are, as a kind of compendium of awesomeness:

Go, Godzilla. Right on, kick out the predatory reptile beast of the State from our lives, with all its grift, graft, gaslighting deceit, outright fraud, betrayal of the social contract, and sheer criminality and vice. Time to go, Godzilla.  Bold call, right? And scary too, but here's an inspirational anthem:

Have no fear, don't be afraid says Christ, the Word made Flesh, and nor should we moving into this new evolution. What will it hold? I don't know, but wish you all the best as God moves everything to its perfectly ordained end. You might say τέλος.

Happy New Year

 

A cheery note to wish you all a great New Year. 2025 was more than a little seismic at the Compound, featuring major truck surgery, Kyrie Eleison, a vastly enjoyable trip to Clubland, DOGE/MAGA, lawyers guns and money, and on. Highlight? Perhaps Mass at the Brompton Oratory followed by perfect roast beef at the East India. 

Then again, maybe the constant of genuinely good, faithful people at the Missions where I feel honored to serve. I tell you, punters, if you'd said, back in the '90s, "LSP, you'll end up in rural North Central Texas," I would've laughed, "Don't be stupid." But no, the laugh was on me and thank God for it. Preface in hand, what will 2026 bring? As we ponder that, here's a video of a drone on OSTFRONT:

So, what will the New Year bring. Revolution in Iran? Sure looks that way, and watch that space. Democrats arrested for fraud, corruption and grift, not least in Minneapolis? We can but hope. An end to the war in Ukraine? Please. And who knows, maybe Great Britain will rise up and overthrow loathed, despised, deceitful, pudding faced, unfit for purpose, globalist puppet Two-Tier Kier. About dam time and perhaps Iran serves as a bellweather, a canary in the coal mine. Boot the Islamo-Commies outta town.

But this is contingent, it may or may not happen, though necessary in the mind  of God who knows all things absolutely. What's not contingent is the loving providence of our Creator, who guides all things, even 2026, to their rightful end.
