Obama Devil Horns

Reviled by many as a Red Communist and a Green Eco-Nut, Pope Francis has nonetheless succeeded in revealing President Obama as Satan. 

Known for his scorn of Christianity and love of transsexuality, Obama can be clearly seen standing next to the Pope, with a pair of devil horns.

This has happened before.

Coincidence? Unlikely.

Pope Francis in America

Pope Francis is in America and set to make an historic, first-ever papal address to Congress. Some have condemned him as a Marxist for daring to criticize greed:

“Once capital becomes an idol and guides people’s decisions, once greed for money presides over the entire socio-economic system, it ruins society, it condemns and enslaves men and women, it sets people against one another and, as we clearly see, it even puts at risk our common home.”

That's not Marxist, or comsymp War Against the Weather Obamunism, it's common sense and it's Christian. 

Mammon

You cannot serve God and mammon.

Giles Fraser Says Internet Stole Anglican Communion

Celebrity leftist Vicar and Aleister Crowley lookalike, Giles Fraser, claims that the internet stole the Anglican Communion and broke it.

This is him, writing for the Guardian:

"But it was the world wide web that finally did for global ecclesiastical solidarity. Through the web, different churches could finally experience each other’s theology first hand. We could read their sermons and church pronouncements. And they could read ours. And we didn’t like what we saw. Western liberals saw anti-gay bigotry. African conservatives saw an abandonment of the traditional gospel. We had become strangers to each other. No, worse than that: we realised we were fighting on very different sides. And, however hard they tried (and Rowan Williams really did) the men in mitres could not put Humpty together again."

Right, the Internet did it. 

No, it was comsymp leftists who had lost their faith and were busy shilling for the Mantis People that broke the Communion. Normal Christians didn't want to be part of that, so they walked.

Mantis People, Ripping Off  a Communion

In the meanwhile, this shill can go on pretending to be anti-establishment by writing for the Guardian. But who's fooled. 

Fraser, I don't care if you're hermetically channeling Aleister Crowley. You are an Illuminati dupe stooge for the New World Order of gayness.

U.S. Foreign Policy Caught on Camera!

U.S. foreign policy was captured on film by two hikers on Mount Rainier, in a revealing photo showing two ghostly figures clasping hands in a rainbow halo.

Known as a "Broken Deceptor," US foreign policy appears as a shadow on mist or cloud, causing a circular rainbow halo to form around it.

Obama Waves Goodbye to Foreign Policy

According to one of the hikers, "As the day went on, the Deceptor would last longer and was more prominent and colorful. The best display was in the evening, when the Deceptor appeared very clear, large and a short distance from us, right before thick clouds rolled in and obstructed the sun."

NATO Cultural Attache to the Kremlin

Rumors that Elton John, NATO cultural attache to the Kremlin, has been asked by President Obama to take over from John Kerry as Secretary of State have not been substantiated.

Get Humble And Clean Your Guns

If you don't clean your guns they break and don't shoot right, like the long-lost Anglican Communion itself. That's why I took some time out this morning to put a couple of firearms to rights. I won't lie, they were filthy little beasts.

As I cleaned the miserable offenders my mind strayed to the virtue of humility, something that's in short supply in the world but mandated by the Gospel."If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all," says Christ to the disciples and to us. So we've got to get humble, but how?

Eat Humbly at the Compound

Aquinas, commenting on the Rule of St. Benedict, says this:

The first degree of humility, then, is that a person keep the fear of God before his eyes and beware of ever forgetting it. Let him be ever mindful of all that God has commanded; let his thoughts constantly recur to the hell-fire which will burn for their sins those who despise God, and to the life everlasting which is prepared for those who fear him. […] Let a man consider that God is always looking at him from heaven, that his actions are everywhere visible to the divine eyes and are constantly being reported to God by the Angels.

There is no Fear of God Before Their Eyes

The fear of God is fast disappearing from the West, will it be replaced by the satanic tyranny of pride?

Final Proof? Abducted Woman Draws Star Map of Anglican Communion

After years of speculation, proof is in that the Anglican Communion does exist, in the form of a star map, drawn by alien abductee, Betty Hill.

In 1961, Betty and Barney Hill of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, claimed they were abducted by aliens. When questioned, an alien called The Leader showed them a map, revealing the exact position of the Anglican Communion.

The Anglican Communion

Betty Hill reproduced the map under hypnosis, and experts were swift to denounce the drawing as a simplistic rendition of the Zeta Reticuli system. Now, years later, a scientist has reexamined Betty's map, and argues that the unusual alignment of key sun-like stars in the drawing could never have happened by chance, but must, in fact, be the Anglican Communion.

The Zeta Reticuli System

"It can't be Zeta Reticuli," stated the scientist, "It bears no resemblance to any known formation. It has to be the off-worldwide Anglican Communion. There's no way Betty could have drawn this by accident, the statistics are as improbable as the Communion itself."

The Examiner

Before her death in 2004, Betty described her abduction by aliens: "I was taken on board. Barney was taken into one room and I was taken into another. The one who did the testing we called The Examiner, it looked like a bishop figure.

The Compass

"Then they tried to insert a compass-like instrument in my navel which caused pain so they stopped doing it. Barney’s exam was very much like mine in the beginning except they were interested in his 'bone structure.'"

The Fruit

From 1961 to 2004, Betty Hill spent her life attempting to prove the existence of the Anglican Communion. Doubted, scorned and dismissed by skeptics, she may at last be vindicated.

A Sunny Saturday in Pershore

Psych! I wasn't really in Pershore, which is an attractive market town in England, I was in rural Texas, somewhere between Waco and Dallas, with a truckload of guns.

The State Protects You in Pershore

The heat beat down, shimmering off the fields, and I shot away at a silhouette, steel plates, clays, a Sprite can and an old plastic bottle of root beer. And a steel turkey. 

Not Allowed in Pershore!

The guns worked, and I was especially pleased with my Ruger American .17 HMR. Well made, inexpensive, and dead on. Pistol performance wasn't bad either, with the plate swinging more often than not at 30 yards. Take that, steel plate, .45 ACP.

Ride On in Pershore

In Pershore you're not allowed to own a pistol or an AR 15, because the less able you are to defend yourself the safer you'll be. But don't worry, the State will look after you as you're attacked by the village toughs. 

Banned in Pershore

Still, Pershore does have pubs, a river, cider and Guy Fawkes night, but that's a different story.

Obama Gets Even More Gayer in Bid to Shame Pope

Just when you thought President Obama couldn't get much gayer, we learn that he's invited a cast of rainbow clowns to meet and shame Pope Francis, when the Supreme Pontif visits America in September. Who are these clowns?

Love Free or Tank at the Box Office

The most famous gay bishop in the world, ever, Gene Robertson, who left his wife and kids to marry Mark and then divorced him, but not before he wrecked the Anglican Communion and starred in the blockbuster smash hit "Love Free or Die." Good choice, Obama.

All Means All, Viv

Then there's "Viv," the famous Episcopalien transsexual, who started off a man, then became a woman, got hired by Integrity and then got a pink slip. "All means all!" was Viv's war cry and Obama's told him to bring all 5 of  the friends he thought most appropriate for a meeting with the Pope. Who are these friends? According to Virtueonline:

Nicole Santamaria, the Secretary of Asociacion Colectivo Alejandria an Hispanic LGBT advocacy group; Marcia Garber a member of Dignity-USA and the mother of a transgendered child; Mateo Williamson, a cross-dressing transgender Catholic and the former co-chairman of Transgender Caucus for Dignity-USA; the Rev. Canon Stephanie Spellers, an LGBT advocate, liberal Episcopal theologian, the director of Mission & Reconciliation at General Theological Seminary and chaplain to the Episcopal House of Bishops (reports are that Canon Spellers will be unable to attend the Pope's soiree because she didn't RSVP in time); and the Rev. Cameron Partridge, a transgendered Episcopal priest who preached at the Washington National Cathedral.

Nice mark of respect for the leader of the majority of the world's Christians, right? 

The catholics of this country need to stand up and be counted, in fact all Christians do, before they get steamrolled by the pink juggernaut of gayness.

Pompey, Trump, and Hilarion Tells it Like it is

I'd walked the dog, said Morning Prayer and set up on the front porch to write something on Anglican-Orhodox relations. This wasn't easy because my mind kept wandering to the phenomenon that is Donald trump.

Is Donald Trump an aggressive version of Pompeius Magnus, from an alternate future reality? I asked Blue Classicist while clicking through the Moscow Agreed Statement. Blue Triumverate didn't seem to care and started to doze, so I applied myself to Metropolitan Hilarion's 2010 address to the Nicean Club. Here's an excerpt:

"We are also extremely concerned and disappointed by other processes that are manifesting themselves in churches of the Anglican Communion. Some Protestant and Anglican churches have repudiated basic Christian moral values by giving a public blessing to same-sex unions and ordaining homosexuals as priests and bishops. Many Protestant and Anglican communities refuse to preach Christian moral values in secular society and prefer to adjust to worldly standards.

"Our Church must sever its relations with those churches and communities that trample on the principles of Christian ethics and traditional morals. Here we uphold a firm stand based on Holy Scripture.

"In 2003, the Russian Orthodox Church had to suspend contact with the Episcopal Church in the USA due to the fact that this Church consecrated a self-acclaimed homosexual, Jim Robertson, as bishop. The Department for External Church Relations made a special statement deploring this fact as anti-Christian and blasphemous. Moreover, the Holy Synod of our Church decided to suspend the work of the Joint Coordinating Committee for Cooperation between the Russian Orthodox Church and the Episcopal Church in the USA, which had worked very successfully for many years. The situation was aggravated when a woman bishop was installed as head of the Episcopal Church in the USA in 2006 and a lesbian was placed on the bishop’s chair of Los Angeles in 2010."

Hilarion is a remarkable figure, a former soldier, composer, church historian, theologian and No. 2 in the Russian hierarchy. If you're interested in Anglican-Orthodox dialogue, check out his Nicean address.

I file this story under God, Dogs and Country Life in Texas. Didn't get any guns in. Sorry, next time.

A Zombie Communion, Archbishop Welby Calls a Primate's Meeting

It's happened, the moment we've all not been waiting for, when the head of the world's third largest denomination, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, calls a Primates meeting. It's going ahead, the letters are out, and the Primates have been invited to meet, face to face in Canterbury, June, 2016.

So what's it all about? To find a way forward for worldwide Anglicanism to somehow exist while holding irreconcilable differences within itself. Here's Welby:

Useless

"Our way forward must respect the decisions of Lambeth 1998 (which upheld Scriptural teaching on marriage)... recognising that the way in which proclamation happens and the pressures on us vary greatly between Provinces. We each live in a different context.

“The difference between our societies and cultures, as well as the speed of cultural change in much of the global north, tempts us to divide as Christians: when the command of scripture, the prayer of Jesus, the tradition of the church and our theological understanding urges unity."

Zombies

Roughly translated: The Anglican Communion can continue as one big tent provided everyone agrees to disagree and by the way, to break unity with the big tent is against Scripture, Tradition and the will of Christ himself. So take that, trads. If you split from us and our lesbian bishops, you're being disloyal Christians, and anyway, take a pill, it's all contextual anyway.

The GAFCON (Global Anglican Future Conference) Primates weren't slow to answer:

"It is on this basis that the GAFCON Primates will prayerfully consider their response to the Archbishop of Canterbury’s letter. They recognize that the crisis in the Communion is not primarily a problem of relationships and cultural context, but of false teaching which continues without repentance or discipline."

Pathetic

False teaching which continues without repentance or discipline? Right on, and Welby's way forward doesn't seem to envisage much of that, if any at all. But it's a moot point; the Anglican Communion hasn't been a communion since the 1970s, when women were ordained and the orders and sacraments of its various provinces were no longer mutually recognized.

At best, Anglicanism since then has been a fellowship of Churches held together by "bonds of affection," but even these have been strained beyond breaking point by the radical liberalism of what Welby refers to as the "global north."

Oh! I have a Barbour! Whatever.

This has resulted in a so-called Communion that exists in name only, a Zombie Communion of Provinces that don't recognize one another's sacraments, orders, faith or morals. In other words, a sham.

House Elf

Welby has dared to call this hollow man together in the New Year. He shouldn't be disappointed if it blows up in his face.

Welby is known variously as Dobby, Sharkey, House Elf, and Chino.

Trump Uber Alles

Donald Trump filled Dallas' American Airlines stadium yesterday with 20,000 people to rapturous applause. His rise to GOP front-runner has been meteoric and no wonder, he says all the right things and he says them forcefully. 

Like, Hillary Clinton was the worst Secretary of State ever, or, make America great again and make its people rich; end the kind of crony politics that puts self-serving inside-the-Beltway amateurs in charge of affairs of state; make illegal immigration actually illegal; honor veterans, stamp out gangs; put an end to allowing America to be treated like some kind of patsy by the rest of the world, especially China.

The list goes on and it's popular, no doubt about it. No other Republican candidate has the kind of mass appeal that Trump has, and that's rattled the GOP establishment. According to Mark Halperin there are several lines of attack to bring the Trumpian Juggernaut down. Viz:

    Trump can’t be trusted because he is an egomaniac with a 

    bad character.

    Trump is a liberal and unprincipled.

    Trump is not close to being fit to be a serious president or 

    commander-in-chief.

    Trump is a politician, not a businessman/outsider.

That's Halperin, writing for Bloomberg, and I'd say he pretty much sums it up. There's another line, though, and it's this. "If Trump wins, the Left will be laughing at us until the next millennium." Maybe, it might also be the case that Trump is a demented shark, but he's evidently a shark that appeals to Americans after what seems like centuries of Euro-Communist rule in Obama's White House.

I think he has a chance at the Presidency, especially if there's a financial meltdown in 2016. 

Does that mean we've devolved as a nation?

Bears Surge Into Texas

Everyone's now aware of the Californian migrant surge into Texas, but the Lone Star State is being hit by another wave of unasked for settlers, bears.

Bears are crossing into Texas from Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana, heading for the Big Thicket in the eastern part of the state.

“They’re coming,” stated biologist, Don Dietz. “I had dinner with a guy two weeks ago in San Augustine County who’s seen a bear twice in the past few weeks.”

According to conservative estimates, as many as 800 bears thrive in the four-county area across the Texas border from Red River County. And while there's a limited bear season in Oklahoma, it's illegal to hunt bears in Texas.

“It’s exciting to think that the bears were here when my family first owned this land and now they’re coming back,” said rancher, Mike Ford, “The landowners that I’ve talked with are excited about it. They appreciate all the native animals, whether they’re turkeys or bears.”

I second that opinion,

The Gramsci Beat

Are you sick of people saying "narrative"? As though reality was some kind of fruity little story? If so, you might like this:

"The crucial importance of narrative to the leftist project cannot be overstated. Storytelling—or a form of it in which old themes are mined and twisted—sits at the center of everything the Left does. Leftists are fueled by a belief that in the modern world, it does not so much matter what the facts are, as long as the story is well told. Living in a malevolent, upside-down fantasy world, they would rather heed their hearts than their minds, their impulses than their senses; the gulf between empirical reality and their ideology-infused daydreams regularly shocks and surprises them, even as it discomforts or kills millions who suffer the consequences of their delusions."
