The parables of Jesus would be one example: say, the man who hired servants at all hours of the day to harvest, but then paid them all the same is a metaphor of heaven, where you still have access even if you repent at the last minute.

This could also be a factor of rabid loved ones desperate to squeeze a few more years out of their dying relatives... Doctors would be hard-pressed to say "nah, just take them home, it's their time", plus that makes them less money.

There's a difference between stopping treatment and letting nature take its course vs. actively smothering grandma with a pillow. Canada is at the pillow stage.

Canada has government-funded health care, and legal MAiD. So of course the government is interested in cost-cutting, and dead people don't cost anything. The government doctors here push MAiD on the unwilling and twist peoples' arms to kill grandma. In the US, it will probably be pushed by the insurance companies to limit payouts.

Way too short a time frame "rewinding to the 1970s". Try the 1070s, or maybe the 570s. Islam has been a threat to the rest of the world since its founding, actually. In fact, Islam had actually conquered much of Europe by the 10th century, and much of European history of the next few centuries was about ridding themselves of the same invading force that they are now welcoming with open arms.

The Franks were fighting to keep Muslims out of what was to become France in the early 700s. Only Charles Martel's victory at the Battle of Tours in 732 (located roughly in the middle of what is now France) prevented them for expanding farther north.

The Spanish effort to retake Spain from the Moors (the Reconquista) only ended shortly before Columbus sailed West in 1492. In fact, the reason he sailed West at all was to try to get a trade route to far east that did not cross Muslim-controlled waters in the Mediterranean.

The Naval battle of Lepanto in 1571 was a strong victory for Europe against the Muslim invaders, celebrated by the poem of the same name by G. K. Chesterton https://classicalpoets.org/2012/08/19/lepanto-by-g-k-chesterton/

The Siege of Vienna in 1683 finally ended the Muslim expedition into Europe, thanks to John III Sobieski of Poland. The lifting of the siege marked the beginning of the end of Ottoman domination in eastern Europe.

At that point, the Muslims had been sufficiently defeated that they were not a threat to Europe / the West for a couple of centuries, but movements had started within Islam that were troubling by the mid-1800s if one was paying attention.

Hilaire Belloc in the 1930s predicted Islam would rise to become a threat again: https://thefederalist.com/2017/07/20/80-years-ago-hilaire-belloc-predicted-radical-islams-re-emergence-cultural-relativism/

Recent events (and the 1970s are very recent), are not unique. Islam needed no outside help to "radicalize". Territorial expansion is baked-in to it's geopolitics, and what we are seeing now has been brewing since the late 1600s.

Nationalism in the European sense involves an element of race/language: the French by race are a "nation", the English by race are a "nation", the Poles by race are a "nation" etc. Nationalism in Europe generally means expanding the boundaries of your political entity to encompass all "your people".

In the United States of America, that was deliberately downplayed to extinction. In the USA (and to a lesser degree in all of the Americas) it was the deliberate choice to live under a certain political system that made "the nation". The melting pot idea, where you leave whatever culture you came from to be part of the USA, goes right back to the founding.

No, you are correct.

It's common human behaviour in a crisis to try to save yourself, and yes sometimes at the expense of others.

It's so common that people who are able to overcome that impulse to throw others under the bus to save yourself are acknowledge as heroic.

Yes, and some of them are still alive. First hand accounts.

This historic revisionism "holocaust never happened" shit has Islam written all over it, IMHO.

Trump’s planned visit to Pennsylvania Catholic shrine with Polish president is canceled

https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/259401/trump-s-planned-visit-to-pennsylvania-catholic-shrine-with-polish-president-is-canceled

... The campaign’s scheduled stop at the National Shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa in Doylestown has been canceled. The reason for the change in Trump’s schedule is unclear. ... A spokesperson for the shrine could not be reached for comment.


Former President Trump cancels his planned visit to Polish Catholic shrine in Bucks County

https://www.inquirer.com/politics/election/trump-bucks-county-pennsylvania-visit-canceled-20240919.html

... Sunday’s visit was not slated to be a campaign rally. Trump had planned to pray at the church and attend the monument’s unveiling outside the shrine, a spokesperson for the shrine said. ... But after Trump was the target of another apparent assassination attempt earlier this week, there had been some concern about the former president being out in the open, Blichasz said.

“Maybe this is OK for everybody’s benefit,” Blichasz added. “In today’s world, you never know what kind of characters are out there. It might be better to be careful.”

I was in Ireland in the late 1980s for several months. I could tell something was deeply "not right' -- the hatred for, almost embarrassment of, their own Irish cultural and religious (Catholic) background was visible even back then.

And the children and teens of the 1980s would be middle-aged or even newly retired now.

People from the music and entertainment industry may have had connections to Diddy, but some (many) of the others are quite a stretch.

It is not likely that a Canadian travel agency executive, a sportswear executive, a prosecutor from Tennessee, and someone on the University of Texas Board of Regents would have had any connection to Diddy, or have ever moved in the same circles such as to cross paths with him.

Even more so #16, a Chief Minister in India (India !!!) who had previously been arrested by the Indian government on a tax fraud case. Far more likely the resignation had to do with that than with any Diddy connection...

The link for #15 says: "Former Australia head coach Darren Lehmann has resigned from men's assistant coaching roles at Brisbane Heat and Queensland to take up a full-time radio commentary job for the upcoming summer of cricket in Australia." It is not likely that leaving a coaching job for a radio commentary job has anything whatsoever to do with Diddy.

Sorry, but this is a rather misleading post.

One explanation to this is that the promise of disclosure elicits moves by the Cabal, and is the real intention of the event in the first place.

Seems very likely, actually.

The authority of the Roman Pontiff is vicarious of Christ’s authority and derives legitimacy from its conformity with this ontological reality.

Conversely, Bergoglio’s authority openly proclaims itself to be independent and self-referential: he thinks he can use and abuse his own power and the authority (and authoritativeness) of the Catholic Church simply because he knows that the clergy and the Christian people have been accustomed, in the last sixty years, to accept any change imposed on them by the Authority of the Church.

Oh so true!

In civil society, laws are written by legislators in some cases decades before a court case occurs. The exact circumstances of a case may not have been foreseen by the legislators, for example because a certain technology did not exist at the time or perhaps for other reasons. The point being that in a good and proper justice system lawyers argue by reference to other cases and by analogy why this or that particular action in question fell under that particular law. The point is they don't pull shit out of their ass, they look at the case in context of other similar cases.

The Catholic Church is supposed to function like that too. Popes are not supposed to be pulling shit out of their ass, but by making references to similar circumstances in history, making references to other papal teachings in similar circumstances, and obviously making references to the Bible, they are supposed to bring Christ's wisdom to bear on present questions of the day as needed and only as needed.

As Pope Francis, he sometimes (arguably even "often") does actually say true things. But as Abp. Vigano rightly points out, the same man often pulls shit out of his ass. There is no possible way you can trace Bergoglio's teachings on (say) the morality of using air conditioning or the requirement to accept random invaders into your country to any context in past Church teachings or the Bible.

This is the basic strategy of the Left, as described by the late great Anne Roche Muggeridge in her books "The Gates of Hell" and "The Desolate City" about the revolutionary forces within the Catholic Church and how the pattern of revolutions in the political sphere was being followed in the Catholic Church after Vatican II.

It's the process IowaHawk David Burge on Twitter pithily described as:

  1. Identify a respected institution.
  2. Kill it.
  3. Gut it.
  4. Wear its carcass as a skin suit, while demanding respect.

Indeed, very important. One of the reasons the leftist have gutted the curriculum with particular focus on history is to actively prevent people from knowing background, context, and origins of present problems.

It is not so much the sudden increase in population but, a huge culture shock because, most all the new people popping up know or care NOTHING about culture of the USA.

I agree it's twofold: quantity and quality. I just fear that focussing on the quality is losing sight of the quantity, and brings the potential criticism of "you just raciss".

Even if all the refugees were from, say, Scotland (with a compatible culture and shared language) it would still be a problem.

You can't suddenly dump an extra 25% of the population on a small town without serious fallout.

It would still be an issue, regardless of culture of the newcomers.

But this means people are talking about the invaders! And we needn't worry about the people who won't begin to ask themselves "why are there so many invaders?"

Fair point. It could well be the entry point to normies seeing the bigger picture.

It's certainly an attention grabber!

It may well be; I wouldn't doubt it, but I don't know and it would be difficult to prove. But arguing about cats vs. no cats is a distraction from the gross overall numbers, which is far the more significant point. IMHO.
