Bernie Sanders, Judaism, and Gozzer worshipers

Amici,

In the blogs, I came across an excellent comment that Bernie Sanders was the form of "The Destructor" as referenced in the original Ghost Busters movie. I thought it a clever and oh-so-appropriate movie ref. 

“Bernie the Destructor” strikes me as an insane orchestra conductor, hair everywhere, ranting and raving. A true Gozzer worshiper. He’s not even a remotely “nice” human being to be around, from what I understand. For example, in some interview or other, he says he never remembers people's birthdays, and “If you expect a card from me, you're not going to get it.” Nice guy.

None of those idiot Democrats running for prez are “just folks”. There’s an underlying viciousness there, and if it doesn’t come from the Communism, it comes from abortion. I note Sanders has one biological child, Levi, born out of wedlock to a girlfriend. His elder brother, Larry, lives in England. Interesting. Larry’s been a Green Party member and rep in Britain for years, apparently. (Bernie seems to have found the gravy train here too good.) Born and raised a Jew, by parents who weren't particularly “religioius”, A “cultural Jew” like a “Cultural Catholic”. Sanders apparently has quite idiosyncratic religious beliefs. Just overall, the guy is far, far too fringe for anything remotely “American”. And the closer people look at him, the less they’ll want to see more. I think those who say that Sander’s just setting the stage for the Return of Hillary are probably correct.

Jews, even more so than Cultural Catholics, have a strong legacy of producing unreligious or irreglious people of a Leftist political bent. But Catholics produce 'em too, myriads and myriads of them. The Kennedy family and the Cuomos are both excellent examples, and the Bidens. They all fit the adage: "If you're a Leftist, you leave your inherited faith behind for Leftism" or "A Leftist is a Leftist, first and foremost." Gozzer worshipers, in other words.

The Novus Ordo Mass the Product of Radio Days?

Amici,

I think the Vat2-ers and "liturgical experts" of the '60s were raised on radio. So much of the N.O. liturgy is talky-talky and staccato, like radio. The TLM was made for a visual world as well as an aural world; the Vat2 N.O. is one-dimensional, in comparison.

Democrat Party Moral Meltdown: Bloomberg Booed for Defending Capitalism

Amici,

There can be no question as to how former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg got on the Democrat debate stage in Las Vegas. To get there, the hyper-wealthy Finance Capitalist "oligarch" simply paid off the venal Democratic National Committee; however, there really ought to be a good number of people asking the obvious question as to how a contender for the Democrat Party's presidential nomination can be booed – as Bloomberg was – when he defended Capitalism. (And as a corollary, how the debate's moderator, MSNBC's idiot Chuck Todd, could be such a pro-Communist talking point martinet for the entire evening.)

N.B. Bloomberg is actually a variety of "Crony Capitalist", technically I suppose a J.P. Morgan-type market-manipulating "financier", and those are often closely enough related or interwound with socialism to be extremely dangerous. They certainly tend to be social "progressive" in the extreme. Finance Capitalists want "Capitalism" for themselves, no doubt, but for us hoi polloi, Socialism will be our lot. 

With that distinction in mind, then, how did the Democrat audience snigger and boo at Bloomberg's (rather weak) defense of Capitalism? The Democrats have gone full Marxist, that's how. And just how did that in turn come about? This has been a classic Commie "Long March through the Institutions" since the 1930s. A book that goes into detail about this is "In Their Own Words", by Terry Turchie and Donagh Bracken. 

Like maggots, or termites, or cancer, the Communists have been eating away at both the Democrat Party and the Catholic Church (so historically aligned with the Democrats) for ages. Bella Dodd warned about what was happening in the Church back in the 1950s, and the same was true for the Democrats.

And then there's abortion: in their support of Roe v Wade, the Dems lost all moral authority; they've been twisting themselves into moral and intellectual knots defending baby killing ever since. The result, literal madness. Those who defend an incoherent thought/philosophy end up incoherent retarded zombies, basically.

The Reason Bill Barr Did Not Try to Prosecute Andrew McCabe

Amici,

If, as has been said, the whole "Trump Russia Hoax" was begun to hide the fact the Obama Administration had been mining the National Security Agency's database for political dirt, as Admiral Rogers discovered in 2016, it certainly seems to have also developed into a full coup d'état to remove Trump.

The recent, shocking news that the DOJ won't prosecute Andrew McCabe, a FBI high-level guy who actually confessed to lying, reveals a deeper problem.

So here's a great article here by "Sundance" on why Barr didn't prosecute McCabe, as in why he really could not do so: 

Basically, his argument goes thusly: the DOJ didn't prosecute McCabe for the same reason Jessie Liu didn't prosecute SSCI Director James Wolfe: both guys knew too much and would have revealed too much had they been formally prosecuted. They would have forced government bigshots to testify at their trials, and the whole rotten mess would have been exposed. For those who have forgotten, Wolfe, head of security at an important Senate committee, leaked the FISA material to his bed-partner journalist under orders from his Senator bosses, and McCabe would have brought down not only the FBI, but the DOJ, by revealing just high up the attempted coup against President Trump went. Bigshots throughout the government hierarchy were trying to stop and then remove President Trump. They can't let the extent of their actions be known.

As one commentator to the above-linked article, "Dutchman" summed it up (italics mine):

As I see it, Sundance is saying NOT that the prosecutions of McCabe and Wolfe can’t happen because they threaten the DOJ/FBI. He says such prosecutions threaten to expose a seditious conspiracy that involves ALL 3 BRANCHES of Government.
Executive; members of the Obama admon, up to Obama, AND career executive branch employees.
Judicial; the FISA court
Legislative; Leadership of BOTH parties, in BOTH Houses.

The evidence Republicans were ‘in on it’ can be seen by their actions, and inactions.

The Comment goes on in like vein. Or as "Sundance" of The Conservative Treehouse himself writes in the linked article:

When the prosecution of SSCI Director James Wolfe was being considered, AG Jeff Sessions was recused; the Robert Mueller probe was ongoing; and as a consequence Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein and U.S. Attorney for DC Jessie Liu were decision-makers.

I’m not going to repeat all the issues, you can re-read them HERE; however, the baseline is that Wolfe could not be prosecuted without running the risk of collapsing key institutions of the U.S. government. The consequences of a Wolfe prosecution were beyond the capacity of Rod Rosenstein, or the DOJ to handle. There would have been massive constitutional crises created and the literal definition of ‘sedition' was at the center of it.

Accepting the 2018 objectives from Rosenstein; and factually I doubt Jeff Sessions would have made a different decision even if he was not recused; when AG Barr takes the helm in February 2019 he is forced to carry-over those same objectives.

In essence, regardless of Bill Barr’s outlook or opinion of what took place, he had no alternative except to defend the previous decisions. As a result, Barr has no option except to protect Rod Rosenstein.

If former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe was ever to be prosecuted, the same issues that surfaced with James Wolfe would surface again. The actions by DAG Rosenstein in 2017 merged with the objectives of Andrew McCabe at the same time. 

Pretty grim, but it makes total sense.

Let me review some history, shall we?

Lyndon Johnson ran a pretty lawless administration. Jack Kennedy, too, remember he -- and Johnson? I'd have to look it up -- let the CIA try to assassinate Castro, and Kennedy did help in/lead to the assassination of the South Vietnamese president (and a Catholic!) Ngô Đình Diệm, on November 2, 1963 (20 days before JFK was hit, notice; how portentous was that?).

Then Nixon got (nearly) impeached for doing with private contractors in 1972 what Johnson had illegally did repeatedly with the FBI and the IRS when in 1964 LBJ spied on Goldwater, etc. Jimmy Carter was too moral for all of that, but Clinton and Obama had no such scruples. Remember when Nixon lost to Kennedy and wouldn't contest it back in 1960? Nixon said something like "People must not think their president is a crook", only to later be reduced himself to saying, "I am not a crook" thirteen years later. (There was some weakness, some indecisiveness, about Nixon; a character flaw not possessed by more ruthless people, such Johnson and Jack, the Clintons or Obama.)

"The Left" in the U.S. has a history of bringing down Republican presidents. Nixon had an overwhelming re-election in 1972, only to be ousted within two years, and all of his second, shortened, administration taken up with fighting the allegations that brought him down. (And let me repeat, Nixon did what LBJ did, but not as massively, and not using U.S. government agents. LBJ could get away with the great crime; Nixon, no way. Hypocrisy.) Ronald Reagan had an overwhelming re-election and his entire second term was taken up with the ridiculous "Iran-Contra Affair".

This time around, the Left is taking no chances, and have gone after Trump from the git-go.

But when the Left tried to unseat George W. Bush through electoral defeat in 2004, via the Texas Air National Guard "narrative", the "narrative makers" suddenly ran afoul an attack from a new quarter: the Internet and the "pajamas media." An irregular force of conservative citizen journalists used the new social media to stop the Left in its tracks. Ka-pow! The Left was, as the Irish say, "gobsmacked." Bush was re-elected, and with a national plurality of votes. The hold of the MSM and legacy media in general was broken! They still haven't quite figured that out. Or perhaps one should say, they still refuse to accept it.

Of course, McCain (McStain) and "Pierre Delicto" Romney were total campaign failures, but Trump beat all the next generation's McCain-Romney 2.0s.

The Left has, in response, gone completely mad.

So now Bill Barr and Rosenstein and God knows how many others are covering up yet another great U.S. government fiasco. This time a truly seditious one. Main players of the U.S. Federalis actively worked a coup d'état to prevent, then cancel, the presidency of Donald John Trump. These evil sods are desperately covering up for each other.

And here's that same Donald John Trump, the target of all their combined, focused, hate, who "tweets" at just the right moment, to millions of his followers, end-running completely around the legacy "narrative builders" in the MSM, to keep the heat on them all. It is great fun to watch, but in all seriousness, the coup has to be exposed. Left the chips fall where they may.

The BVM Hers was the first face He saw...a contemplation on Mary

Hers was the first face He saw in His new Person, 100 percent God and 100 percent Man, two Natures in One Person, Immanuel, God-with-us; Her face God Almighty first saw with His human eyes. 

Ever think of that?

The first eyes He looked into were Her eyes, the first voice His Divinely perfect ears heard was Her voice. The touching, caressing, all the intimate reality of being a human mother caring for her child, He, Our Most Blessed Lord, could PERFECTLY see, taste, smell, hear, in short, realize in all its intimacy – through Her. AND do so in the womb, as well. Think of that. God Almighty spent nine month's in a Jewish teenagers womb, because he wanted to bring Salvation to us, Jesus, Joshua: Yehoshu'a, which means "YAHWEH is salvation", (from the roots יְהוֹ (yeho) referring to the Hebrew God and יָשַׁע (yasha') meaning "to save").

And let's not forget, God chose HER, and she responded with Her freely given fiat. (Talk about Abraham going to sacrifice Isaac! She knew getting pregnant outside of marriage in her culture meant death by stoning, yet she said, "Yes.")

We cannot even begin to appreciate the power of Their intimacy with One Another. Words fail, it is so glorious. We'll spend Eternity contemplating it.

Rejecting the Mother is most definitely a rejection of the Son, certainly in His Incarnation, and Christianity is all about the Incarnation, a word we don't hear or read much today. 

Thank you, oh Lord God, for what you did and are doing for us through your Incarnation, and thank you, oh Blessed Virgin Mary, for all you've done, and are doing. You are, through our participation in the Seventh Covenant, the Most Holy Eucharist, our Mother, too. We have Our Lord in us, and thus we have you.

Reflections on James Carville's comments

Here's a link to a Washington Times story on James Carville's recent comments about the fall of the Democratic Party. 

Carville is like so many actual "card-carrying" Dems, especially, of course, those above 50. They just can't believe what they're seeing. It's not the Party they grew up in, as they keep saying in divers ways.

Carville & Co. should have seen it coming, however: Obama was nothing but a cheap Ivy-League Affirmative Action Commie in a melanin suit, who ran against the wretched John McStain and the putrid weathervane Romney. (Maybe Rapist Bill Clinton DID see it: remember he said, "There was a time this guy (Obama) would have been getting us coffee.") The Bamster was a tourniquet on a Party that's had no new ideas since the 1930s, except one: abortion, on demand, at any time, even infanticide. That's all the Party has to offer. That's all they've become. Time to close the book on them.

Ah, right. They're big on Global Warming, too. Can't forget that.

There might be a political party called the "Democratic Party" that survives, of course, but it'll be a Socialist/Labour-style party; the Democrats as Carville & Co. knew them is gone. In that it mirrors the Catholic Church as so many of us knew it: it's breaking up into National Language Churches, as the 14 Orthodox Churches are. (A "Roman Catholic" Latin Mass Church will survive, of course, any everyone will understand that to be the actual "Catholic" Church, but it will be small, very small, indeed.)

The Global Warming Hoax, a Jihad Against Plant Food

I keep forgetting that "Global Warming" is still a thing, that it hasn't been trashcanned like the 1970s' "Global Cooling" or the "Global Trash Crisis" of the 1980s' (don't remember that one?).

Then I came across an article here: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/energy/demise-of-coal-in-rich-countries-brings-global-carbon-emissions-to-a-stall that had a line like this:

U.S. emissions fell 2.9%, or by 140 million tons, continuing the trend of the United States leading the world in total emissions decline since 2000.

Emissions in the European Union declined 5%, while Japan’s emissions were 4.3% lower in 2019.

But emissions in the rest of the world grew by nearly 400 million tons, with 80% of that increase coming from developing countries in Asia due to strong demand for coal. Scientists from the United Nations say global emissions must steeply decline in the coming years to avoid the severe consequences of climate change.

Wow. "Scientists...global emissions must steeply decline in the coming years to avoid the severe consequences of climate change."

Well, well. "Carbon emissions", i.e., CO², we're not exactly talking about pure carbon, the element, but it in conjunction – covalently double bonded, to be precise – with two oxygen atoms, the latter that totally unnoble element that just loves to combine with all sorts of things, especially iron. 

Carbon dioxide is a "trace element" in the atmosphere, and billions of years ago, when the Cambrian Explosion occurred, CO² was 17 times more dense in the atmosphere than now. It's been going down ever since, as plants (trees, by themselves, are the largest weight of biomass on the planet) began sucking it out of the air and sequestering it via coal (coal being laid down before the rise of organisms that decomposed the fallen trees) and other fossil fuels, not not to mention the simply staggering amount of carbon (100 million billion tons, no less) sequestered into limestone, chalk, marble, and other rock over the eons by Coccolithophores (Phytoplanton), shellfish, corals, and foraminitera (zooplantion), who used carbon dioxide to make calcium carbonate building and armor structures. When the big Ammonite shellfish were alive in Dino times, CO² was 2,000 ppm (parts per million), but by 18,000 years ago, at the height of the last glaciation, it was down to 180 ppm. All this is according to Dr. Patrick Moore, an ecologist Ph.D., and one of the co-founders of Greenpeace, who left that organization when it became – in effect – an anti-scientific Luddite fringe group. Dr. Moore says that had we humans not come along and started putting CO² back into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels and releasing the sequestered CO², life on Earth was on course to extinguish itself (once CO² gets to 150 ppm, plants start to die off).

Because of us putting the CO² back, the Earth is greening up, what's called the CO² Fertilization Effect, and this effect is as measured by the Australian CSIRO, their top science body.

So, the Global Warmists are on an anti-CO² Jihad, because they say CO² is causing "Global Warming" (officially now "Climate Change"). Yet there's plenty of proxy temp dating that shows CO² levels have followed planetary warming, not preceded it. But whatever. I'm sure the Greenpeace crowd and "Warmists" in general decry Dr. Patrick Moore as a "Big Oil Sellout", as he defends the mining of the oil sands in Alberta (Moore is a native of the coastal area of Vancouver Island, actually having grown up on a floating village). Moore is also an advocate for both hydroelectic and nuclear power. A lifetime of achievement (he really did help to stop above-ground nuclear testing in the US, and also "saved the wales") and his devotion to actual science, is all besmirched.

Anyway, I find it fascinating that such scientific ignorance is so prevalent, that today, in the "space age", we have Luddites galore, so "galore" we have to put up with a war on plant food (note: no one is in favor of toxic pollution; the issue is calling carbon dioxide – the very stuff of life, its substance and sustainer – a pollutant.

Luddites oppose so much, for example those new strains of rice that could feed 100s of millions, all because it is "bio-engineered" food. What the heck do they think corn (maise) is? It wasn't "bio-engineered" in a lab with guys in white coats, but it was definitely "bio-engineered."
