The upside down medical world Americans live in (a must-read)

Amici,

This is one of those articles one just has to read in full. It's titled:

Why Do Doctors Go Along with COVID Panic Porn and CDC Prescriptions? Ted Noel, MD (retired) is the author.

It is on of those articles you-all HAVE to read to understand how insane medicine is in America today. A true SNAFU. An endless maze of bureaucracies on the lookout for a doctor who breaks from the herd on anything, even doing charity work. Had I gone into medicine, I would have had to get out. I simply couldn't function in an upside down nut-house Hell such as standard medicine in the U.S. has become (and I imagine it is not much better in the most of Europe).

I'm not going to post an excerpt, because the whole piece needs read. I'm going to post another about a presentation Dr. Peter McCullough did recently on how American doctors, and the CDC/NIA system of bureaucracies actually refused to engage in the normal procedures used when a new disease appears. That's a video. McCullough details how not only actual "medicine" procedures and protocols were shut down over Covid, but how the mass of you-all were herded into taking the vaccines (of which even the CDC's VAERS reporting system now how over 15,000 vaccine deaths in the U.S. and over 700,000 "adverse event reactions" short of death.

Put both of these together, and you will understand just how evil, twisted, and hopeless the modern governmental management world is.

• N.B. "CMMS" refers to "The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services", obviously a nasty bureaucracy to get on the wrong side of.

You'd think the Churches, especially the Catholic Church, which invented hospitals and has its own extensive hospital network, would be in the forefront of demanding massive change, if not elimination, of this perverted system. Yeah, right. There are plenty of Jewish hospitals, as well. Everyone seems on board with the current unmedical racket. A doctor like Vladimir Zelenko is as on the outs with the medical establishment as Fr. James Altman is on the outs with the Catholic Church.

Australia government's insane fascist authoritarian behavior explained...

 Amici,

A great interview of Dr. David Martin by Mike Adams here. 

The article has a lot on Covid, etc., but we all have been wondering what's going on in Australia. So, here's all your "Why is Australia so crazy questions?" answered.

Some notes, extracts, and comments (highlights mine):

• N.B. Dr. David Martin founded M·CAM® in 1998 and has served as its CEO and Chairman since that time. M·CAM® has been an international intangible asset underwriter and analyst firm spanning work in innovation finance, trade, and intangible asset finance. (https://www.m-cam.com/about-us/) Martin has also lived in Australia for a time.
  

1. Why is Australia turning into a crazed police state? "During the period of time from 2016 to 2018, for reasons that were not entirely transparent, the Australian government was passing laws that were very clearly draconian control and suppression laws about the ability to surveil their citizens, the ability to actually intrude into personal computers, into cell phones and all sorts of things.
   
   "All these surveillance tools, all under the name of what we did back after 2001, after 9/11, where we saw things like the Patriot Act and we saw other things get into legislation which in fact marched in on the civil liberties. But in Australia, it was more draconian.  
   
   "The fact is that in Australia, what effectively were like the sedition-type laws were extended to any time you say something nasty about the government, no matter what it is." 
   

2. Details on Australia and China:

"Bear in mind that Australia lost its sovereignty to China many years ago. And I say that both literally and metaphorically. You can’t go into an airport in Australia and not see – particularly in places like Melbourne – as many signs in Chinese as you see in English. That should tell you something.

"When you go to look at the real estate market, you see that the vast majority of real estate in the major investment markets are being acquired by the Chinese. But that’s just the last icing on a cake that started with the dependency that the Australian government allowed to unfold, where somewhere between 70 and 80 per cent of the entire export interaction with the world from Australia happens to be with one counter-party, China.

"When the only money you’re making, the only thing that’s supporting your GDP, is a single country, guess whose wills you bend to? You bend to that country.  

"And I’ve said this, by the way, in Australian audiences, much to the chagrin of the government there – that Australia was taken over a long time ago. It’s only now that we’re seeing the evidence of it.

An P again:

Clearly, Australia has become, or is a very long way toward becoming, a Chinese colony. I've also read articles and seen video about the Chinese moving into many of the Pacific islands the U.S. and Japan fought over in WWII. Deja Vu. And look at the U.S. itself and the insidious ties Red China has bound so many in the U.S. to.

The whole article should be read.

Columbus, Ohio mayor signs mask mandate for city

 Mike, Hank, and you others in town:

https://eu.dispatch.com/story/news/2021/09/14/ginther-signs-indoor-mask-law-stiffer-fines-but-exemptions-aplenty/8338838002/
 

Columbus Mayor Andrew J. Ginther on Tuesday afternoon signed a beefed-up city mask mandate approved by the City Council Monday evening, meaning potential city fines for failing to mask up in most indoor public places are now immediately in effect.

The mask mandate applies to anyone over the age of 2 and whether you have been vaccinated or not.

After an initial warning, the city Health Department can fine businesses $500 for a second offense and $1,000 for subsequent offenses for any customers or staff failing to wear masks.

Individuals also can be fined $100 after a warning.  That's up from $25 originally in response to concerns from businesses about getting fined for noncomplying customers. The fines for individuals grows to $250 for any subsequent offenses.

The fines add teeth to an emergency executive order issued by Ginther last week.

The fines are "civil" penalties, and police officers won't be involved in enforcing the mandate. However, law enforcement will be authorized to enforce trespassing laws if someone who refuses to comply with the mask mandate is asked by representatives of the restaurants, bars, grocery stores or other publicly accessible buildings to leave the premises and does not.  

Don't tolerate this absolute imbecilic garbage! The wearing of standard cloth masks/hospital masks do nothing to prevent the spread of an airborne (aerosol) virus. If you are coughing on a regular basis and have a running nose/blowing nose, you might want to consider mask wearing just to avoid dirty looks. But of course you should not sneeze into a mask! And a coughing/running nose just forces the mucus out, regardless. And making children wear masks is simply evil. Not only is it actually physically dangerous for kids not to breathe freely, seeing everyone with their faces covered is going to "mess them up" for life! Remember Biderman's Chart of Coercion wherein Enforcing Trivial Demands was a central tool tyrants use?

Mass civil disobedience is required to really change things, but in the meantime, bring a class action suit or join ones that I'm sure will be being put together. Please pass this msg on, and the following list, for here are some Ohio lawyers who might help, thanks to an email a friend sent me:

Alright, enough! Professor Julie Ponesse eloquently teaches her last class...

 Ok, friends, enough is enough.

What the video linked to below of this noble lady, Professor Julie Ponesse, immediately. I don't often (never) say this to friends, but watch it. It's only six minutes long. Watch this profound, gripping, vivid, ardent, woman's heartbreaking video: Dr Julie Ponesse, 20-year professor of Ethics at the University of Western Ontario, and member of the Canadian Covid Care Alliance (CCCA). You get slapped in the face and kicked in the ass with the power of her sadness and devastation, with the awfulness of what was done to her: fired from her job of 20 years for refusing to take "the Jab".

• And being fired, I presume she receives no separation benefits and loses any retirement programs. I sure pray folk with money set up a Go-Fund-Me account for her and she hires a first-rate lawyer to strip the hide off her university, strip the hide off them down to marrow, to legal beat them with ball bats, axe handles, whatever comes to hand (metaphorically speaking).
• A report appeared last month that a Carnegie Mellon/U. Pitt study found that the most strongly "vaccine hesitant" are the most educated and the least educated. "Well, this certainly doesn't fit the liberal media narrative." Nope, it doesn't. So this Dr. Ponesse is an example, then, of the most educated refusing this garbage narrative about the vaccines. It was a U-shaped curve, too, in that the least educated would be folk actually laboring for a living and who drive the trucks that deliver your food and who fix your plumbing, people who have a lot of "street smarts", like the fox, Nick, in the Zoostropolis movie.

So, enough is enough. Let's put a stop to this insanity. To Hell – the real place – with all that evil people pushing these damned (literally) vaccines! They are liars. They are evil. They are cruel and vicious and stupid. I mean that. For proof of this assertion, check out this article my friend Dianne Irving sent me. It details the "shell game" "bait-and-switch" the FDA did on the Pfizer "approval" of their Covid vaccine. That "approval" was a fraud. Patrick Coffin talks to Reiner Fuellmich about it here at 26:10 minutes into the video.

And when I say enough is enough, I mean we have to get just as mad-as-hell as this Portuguese judge. The Portuguese judge, Dr. Rui da Fonseca e Castro, the article reports, is "one of the only serious ones in the Portuguese Magistracy confronts police officers who were preparing to beat people who were not wearing mask on public roads." Please watch the vid. The worthless POS academics at the University of Western Ontario need to be confronted in full "Judge Ruis da Fonseca style!

• N.B. The CCCA is "a group of more than one hundred Canadian medical doctors, scientists, professors and healthcare workers who are doing their best to raise awareness about COVID related issues and solutions. They are looking to have a more complete, scientific, and balanced discussion around COVID in comparison to what government and mainstream media are offering."
• It was the CCAA who posted the video the other day about Dr. Julie’s dismissal from her job.
  

An P again:

Now, I need to report that in the past week or so, four people I know have come down with Covid Vaccine "Adverse Events". That's four out of a random mix of folk I know, say 20 individuals, with whom I am in some sort of contact, either often or monthly. That's 20 percent of 20 "just folks" people. HOWEVER, not all that 20 let themselves be "jabbed", either. Unlike Hungarians, who always ask you whether you've gotten it, I do not inquire.

Anyway, two of the the four I know pretty well, two I've known over the years but am generally not in very close contact with. All of them however exhibit the classic Covid vaccines' adverse reactions after receiving the vaccine: i.e., two have coughed up blood and after initial hospitalization, are now home with an uncertain diagnosis (i.e., doctors "puzzled"), one has developed chronic heart arrhythmia, and one a pretty strong case of shingles. In no case, so far as I am aware, did their medicos suggest "the Jab" may be even a contributor.

Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi explains it here: how the vaccines will cause such bleeding, and he goes into some detail about how shingles and others such diseases many people have that are kept in check by their immune systems suddenly "get loose". This happens when the "vaccines" attack their immune systems, these illnesses return. I loosely transcribed some of it:

Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi explains that the Covid vaccines, especially the mRNA ones, get into places in one's body that are not normally accessible to agents from outside, especially for a "respiratory virus" that normally couldn't get itself into the blood stream. The vaccines, being injected into one's arm, immediately get into the blood stream. This is apparently now well proven, Bhaki says. It seems that early on, many officials argued against this. (Of course they would, lying sacks of cockroach guano aggregations that they are.)

1. Once there, the spike proteins in the vaccine get into the lymph nodes. These lymph glands, kidney-shaped organs of the lymphatic and the adaptive immune system that are located throughout the body, contain the lymphocyte white blood cells (i.e. natural killer cells, some T cells, some B cells). These are "life-long sentinels that keep latent infections suppressed". They make up between 18% and 42% of circulating white blood cells.
2. But the Covid vaccines soon end up in the Lymph nodes, and Bhakdi says they cause havoc in those Lymph nodes, killing some lymphocytes and turning others into spike-protein manufacturers, which then in turn are attacked by their non-affected lymphocyte brethren ("brothers and sisters" Bhadki called them).
   
3. The result, Bhadki says, is "fraternal war" of immune cells against immune cells. The lymph nodes quickly swell and are painful – sometimes for weeks.
   
4. All of this causes a system crash, which naturally, varies in various individuals. The formerly suppressed viruses or illnesses one's body still contains locked up by one's healthy immune system are able to escape and multiply and one develops all sorts of illnesses that have been there for a while, but which were under control.
   
5. Bhakdi says Shingles and the related Cytomegalovirus are two of the most common signs of this process at work, and it worries him that so many of his colleagues seem "immune" (to coin a phrase) about what these sudden breakouts mean. Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) is another virus coming back to bite the vaccinated, and in certain countries, Bhakdi says, TB. Tumors also are appearing as a result of the vaccines, as well. Tumors form everyday in our bodies, Bhakdi says, but the lymphocytes recognize the tumor cells and suppress them. Covid vaccines foul all that up.
   
6. The pattern is clear. As is also the pattern of internal bleeding, as well. Sometimes this vaccine-induced bleeding is only microscopic and determined by a D-Dimer test. This D-Dimer test is not usually prescribed, but if one has the vaccine, one needs to have a D-Dimer test because it will show microscopic bleeding that the spike-protein causes in the walls of arteries and in the capillaries.
   

• Sucharit Bhakdi has made an interesting analogy: the immune system is like an orchestra directed by a conductor, he said. The conductor might say, "This virus here is no big deal, so the trumpet section needn't play to loudly..."; however, "the Covid vaccines put the orchestra out of tune and out of tone and they try to replace the conductor with their own direction, and doom results." "Doom" is Bhakdi's word for it.
  

• Another quite significant aspect to the whole story is that in many people, their lymphocytes seemed programed to recognize Covid (supposedly a "novel" coronavirus) and this indicates it isn't novel at all. In any event, and this is important: if the unvaccinated are getting ill, they'll get over it (unless they're quite old with serious conditions), AND have natural immunity thereafter. But the medical industry wants to hype one cause of illness, one cure for that illness, just as they hype the PCR test as one diagnostic of this particular illness.

Anyway, all of us, both those who got "vaccinated" and those who didn't, need to be angry. We should be righteously angry on many levels; indeed, we need to be as angry as Judge Rui da Fonseca e Castro and angry also for poor Dr. Julie Ponesse. Angry for all the Dr. Julies of whatever economic rank or social station. Anywhere in the world that the "authorities" implemented lockdowns and now vaccine "mandates", the people need to rise up and bring them down. We'll be living with the devastation this disaster has bestowed to us for the next century, a century bound to be more of a dystopia than any of us would want to see.

So, alright! Enough already!

Children’s Health Defense criticism of the FDA's vaccine approval...

Friends,

Here's an excerpt from Children’s Health Defense, August 23, 2021, article:

FDA Grants Full Approval of Pfizer Vaccine, Critics Blast Agency for Lack of Data, Scientific Debate

(Thanks to Dianne Irving and others for cluing me in on this. Highlights mine.)

Critics said it was concerning that full approval was based on only six months’ worth of data — despite clinical trials designed for two years — and that there was no public discussion of the data.

by Megan Redshaw

Critics accuse FDA of ‘unprecedented, naked power grab’

...

According to an article published Aug. 20 in the BMJ (N.B. BMJ is the "global healthcare knowledge provider with a vision for a healthier world. We share knowledge and expertise to improve healthcare outcomes."), transparency advocates have criticized the FDA decision not to hold a formal advisory committee meeting to discuss Pfizer’s application for full approval — an important mechanism used to scrutinize data.

Last year the FDA said it was “committed to use an advisory committee composed of independent experts to ensure deliberations about authorisation or licensure are transparent for the public.”

But in a statement to The BMJ, the FDA said it did not believe a meeting was necessary ahead of the expected full FDA approval.

An FDA spokesperson said the agency held numerous meetings of its Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee (VRBPAC) related to COVID vaccines in 2020, and did not believe a meeting was needed related to this biologics license application for Pfizer.

[AnP note: Oh, great. Rush it all through, discontinue the placebo "control" group utterly necessary in any sort of "science" experiment, and then drop public advisory committee hearings. THIS is "science"?]

According to the BMJ, companies typically apply for full approval after a longer period has elapsed so that more data are available for review.

Kim Witczak, a drug safety advocate who serves as a consumer representative on the FDA’s Psychopharmacologic Drugs Advisory Committee, said the decision removed an important mechanism for scrutinizing the data.

“These public meetings are imperative in building trust and confidence especially when the vaccines came to market at lightning speed under emergency use authorization,” said Witczak. Wticzak was one of 27 experts who launched a citizen’s petition demanding the FDA “slow down and get the science right” before approving COVID vaccines.

“The public deserves a transparent process, especially as the call for boosters and mandates are rapidly increasing,” Wticzak said. “These meetings offer a platform where questions can be raised, problems tackled and data scrutinised in advance of an approval.”

Witczak said it’s concerning that full approval is based on only six months’ worth of data — despite clinical trials designed for two years — and there’s no control group after Pfizer offered the product to placebo participants before the trials were completed.

“They know they can’t win this argument on the science and that’s why they had to abolish the public process and independent oversight,” said Children’s Health Defense Chairman Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “They believe themselves so powerful now that they are stripping off all pretenses that this is about public health, and are baldly revealing the corruption.”

Kennedy told The Defender:

“This is a sinister scheme for mandating a badly flawed vaccine that has already made history with record deaths and injuries, that neither prevents disease nor transmission, and does not improve mortality. Pfizer’s most recent six-month data show that while the jab prevents some COVID deaths, it causes more heart attacks yielding a net loss of life.”

Diana Zuckerman, president of the National Center for Health Research, told The BMJ it’s obvious the FDA has no intention of hearing anyone else’s opinion, and says making decisions behind closed doors can feed vaccine hesitancy.

“It’s important to have a public discussion about what kind of data are there, and what the limitations are,” Zuckerman said. “As we think about risk versus benefit, we need to know.”Joshua Sharfstein, vice dean for public health practice and community engagement at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and former FDA deputy commissioner during the Obama administration, said advisory committee meetings are more than just a way of receiving scientific input from outside experts.

“It’s also an opportunity to educate the public about the important work that the FDA has done reviewing an enormous amount of data about a product,” Sharfstein told The BMJ. “It’s a chance for questions to be asked and answered, building public confidence.”

AnP again: I encourage everyone to read the full Children's Health Defense criticism.

And remember: whatever anyone, ANYONE tells you, THIS is our reality:

We now even have the specter of people needing critical or life-saving surgery being told they must submit to becoming fully vaccinated before they will be accommodated.

The powers-that-be care so much about our health they are basically telling us to “eff off” and die unless we agree to be vaccinated. One gets the distinct impression that our rulers would love to deport all of us MAGA-wearing unvaccinated types and replace us with refugees from anyplace that has no history or concept of individual liberty and the rule of law.         

The elites are telling us what we can and can’t do, where we are not allowed to go and that we likely can't have gainful employment. What are they afraid of?  Either the vaccinations work and they are protected or they don’t and they are lying.  I am sick and damn tired of the fulminations of those who purport to care yet use this pandemic to put their knees on the throats of those with whom they disagree. You do not shun people, ban them from public spaces, mock them as idiots, deny them gainful employment – and life-saving surgery – out of concern for their well-being.

[Ron: This last sentence needs shouted from the rooftops.]
Plainly put, these frauds are conducting the biggest hoax, power play and act of evil in human history, all while attempting to cloak themselves in virtue-signaling glory. Sound vaguely familiar?

PS The Children's Health Organization is Robert F. Kennedy's group, and mainstream critics will just call it an anti-vax nut house, but after more than a year researching Covid and since January, the history of vaccines, I can honestly say that if even half of what I've found out about vaccines is true, no one would want ANY vaccine. (Edward Jenner was supposed to have saved the world from smallpox in the later 1700s but England's worst outbreak was in the vaccine-mandated 1840s, and so on.) But on top of that, of course, the Covid "vaccines" don't even fit the definition of "vaccine".

Pressure ever-mounting; crash coming...

 Friends,

Things are mounting to crash-level madness. Afghanistan is a complete fiasco (maybe the powers-that-be intended just that to happen? Part of a far bigger plan?). People are fed up. Even Donald Trump was booed at his mega-rally in Alabama when he tried to encourage people to get 'vaccinated'. I'm glad. Someone needs to get it through his head what's going on. (If the "vaccines" turn out to be half as half deadly as many are predicting, then Trump will be dead politically, but we'll have to wait for that to develop.) 

I see the FDA is going to approve the Pfizer "vaccine" as early as today, regardless of all the injury and death it causes, and regardless of the fact that Pfizer lost the "control group" and regardless of whatever "good" effects it is claimed to have, they're limited, and have to be propped up with continual "booster shots". I would expect a number of legal people to file emergency stay petitions with various courts. But once the FDA (as political an organization as any) gives its approval, suddenly government will have legal force to compel vaccination.

Microbiologist Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi details "vaccination" effects. 

Information from Israel, Norway, etc., i.e. heavily vaccinated countries, is revealing that the so-called "Delta variant" is NOT a product of the unvaccinated, but rather a product of the vaccinated. This is just incredible, but absolutely true. Yet, the forces of government grind ever on to force everyone to be "vaccinated".

The news from Australia and New Zealand is insane. Absolutely, purely insane. (Lots of video.) The police in Australia are beating more people than the Taliban are beating in Afghanistan. I read about a couple of runners, joggers, that were chased by a helicopter, chased to their home and the chopper stayed over their house, preventing their getting out again. 

Meanwhile, Australia's truckers are getting ready for a strike. They, the "Long-haul truck drivers, "are not permitted to stop and eat, or shower, or rest outside their vehicles by orders of the government." That is insane. So they're going to try a nationwide shutdown.

Thousands have been arrested, shot with rubber bullets (nasty things, if you don't know; they're huge and dangerous) sprayed with tear gas or pepper spray, and so on. 60 people, the entire congregation at one church, were arrested. Absolute madness. And all this, according to world meters, for a total of 984 deaths (supposedly) due to Covid, or 38 per million. My friends, this is madness!

For just one great video of Aussie man-on-the-street interviews, click here. "You won't see this video in the mainstream media". The interviews begin at about 55 seconds in. At 7:08, especially, watch the Anglican priest's speech. Excellent!

Things are truly out of control, and literally anything can happen, and might just well. And remember, all this madness in Australia, France, and other countries, is expected to come soon to the U.S. Get ready, for someone somewhere will "go postal" and then a national martial law will be imposed and the fight will be upon us.

One good bit of news is that since neither Biden nor Camel-toes Harris is capable of doing anything, the Left has no leadership acceptable to the majority of the country, and the Right will be forced to stand up for individual rights or be itself destroyed.

A few weeks ago, just to show how divided and sick our society is, I listed some of the headlines at LifeSiteNews. (One could do this with any news organization, but Lifesite is more honest than most.)

An P again: every day, it just gets nuttier and nuttier. Sooner or later, probably sooner, the system will just go BOINK! and crash. In fact, I've been seeing a number of mainstream articles about "the coming crash". In the beginning of the 16th chapter of St. Matthew's Gospel, we read this famous passage:

1 And there came to Him the Pharisees and Sadducees tempting: and they asked Him to shew them a sign from heaven. 2 But He answered and said to them: When it is evening, you say, It will be fair weather, for the sky is red. 3 And in the morning: To day there will be a storm, for the sky is red and lowering. You know then how to discern the face of the sky: and can you not know the signs of the times?

Ok, so how is it that so many cannot see the signs of impending doom? How is it that the mainstream media insists on counterfactual "fact-checking" that tells us what we know is false?

In The Gospel of Mark, Chapter 3, we read the following:

22 And the scribes who were come down from Jerusalem, said: He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of devils He casteth out devils. 23 And after He had called them together, He said to them in parables: How can Satan cast out Satan? 24 And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25 And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand. 26 And if Satan be risen up against himself, he is divided, and cannot stand, but hath an end.

Abraham Lincoln used this passage in his famous 1858 "A House Divided" speech, which won him national acclaim. (Well, not so much in the South.) But today we in the West are divided in cultural basics, and I mean the very essence of what constitutes life, personhood, sexual identity, and so on. Absolutely basic stuff.

For example: Is abortion murder? Is the taking of a human life permissible when the person hasn't even been born yet, and thus innocent? If that is so, why not kill a new-born babe? (Many actually do and academics with cushy jobs and tenure argue for just that.) Can two men, or two women (or two women and one man, etc.) "marry"? Doesn't that equate coitus, the sexual process involving the physical transmission of life, with anal intercourse and tribadism? Must a man who has been surgically mutilated and chemical polluted (à la Bruce Jenner) be called a woman? Do not laws passed and enacted that declare a man who claims to be a woman a woman – actually, legally – negate the female sex from legal standing?

All of these items involve lying about the actual nature of thing – things understood in their right nature in all of human history – in order to achieve some social end and the promotion of some cultural statement, almost always narcissistic statement by the cretinous. But can we base a healthy society on lies, at all, especially such sociopathic narcissistic lies?

In politics, the situation is the same. The Western government system is based on elections, because of the practical idea that all government needs audit, and regular elections encourage perpetual audit. Yet underlying all that, deep below the electoral mechanism, is the Western and Christian religious idea that all men (the English word means all people) are created by God and thus equal, not in individual ability, but in individual rights. Yet what happens when massive questions arise about the legality of elections? Doesn't it behoove the winners of the election to work with the losers to uncover any irregularities of outright fraud, and thus ally fears and suspicion? And when the winners try every trick in the book to keep the elections in shadow, obscured legally and forensically, isn't it obvious that the losers are going to conclude fraud DID occur? Denying audit of such an election is the recipe for revolution, or slaver. Or both.

Or how can an economy work when jobs are shipped overseas? People are equal legally but not in talent, drive, and fortitude. Not everyone can "code" or "flip burgers" all their lives. Doesn't a country like the U.S. become a mercantile colony of China when American manufacturing jobs go to China, and then the Chinese sell the products back to Americans? What sort of government promotes that? It's insane. What government closes down oil exploration and pipelines in its own country but allows its traditional enemies to build their own pipelines?

One could go on and on. Perhaps most significantly of all, what sort of government bends every law and smothers every right to force "vaccinations" on its population for a disease that does not kill 99.5+ of those supposedly infected with it, especially when the "vaccines" are emergency use only?

Does any of this make any sense? Maybe to Chinese Communists and a few other groups who want to see Western Civ go down, but not to too many others. 

It makes no more sense than a narcissistic moron stamping down on the central religious rite that has animated and encouraged and form a great religious Faith or two millennia. But that is the world we live in, and it cannot, and will not, last much longer.

It's the signs of the times, about a house divided against itself.

Latin Mass, Jews, & "Pope Francis is tearing the Catholic Church apart..."

 Amici,

Here's some reflection on the Traditional Latin Mass issues that the Catholic Church seems to be wrestling with.

Extraordinaryform.org

First, a long but detailed article at this extremely helpful site: the extraordinaryform.org, to which I repair often for Sunday and Weekday Propers and much else beside. I highly recommend the site. They say, BTW: A NOTE TO THE FRIENDS AND USERS OF THIS SITE:

While we are saddened by the lack of charity evinced in the motu proprio "Guardians of Tradition," and, while our site's name may have been 'abrogated' - we are not going away.

Be assured, our mission to propagate the Mass of the Ages will continue unabated.

An P again:

There's a lot that goes on behind the scenes of any even small event, let along a major one. I'm sure there's a lot of "worms in the wainscot" regarding the current occupant of the See of Peter and his attempt to squish the TLM. Please be cognizant of the fact that any "Modernist" in the Church believes, deep down, that the Church MUST "modernize" or "evolve" or "reform" radically if it is to survive. So strong is this idea in Modernists that I'm sure if you could somehow infallibly (pun intended) peer into Bergoglio's mind, you would find, even more deeply than any religious dogma, this idea that the Church must evolve and change to suit the times or it will die. Ergo, since TLM is "rigorous" and its priests and congregations are "rigorous", they have to be eliminated. 

• This notion exists because Modernism, which began in the mid-19th century in Protestant Germany, was heavily influenced by Darwin and the theory of evolution. Really, Modernists believe that all life evolves, human life has evolved, humans evolve during their own lifetimes, going to idea to idea, and the Church must evolve. Ultimately, of course, they believe God evolves. God is something we created, ourselves, and the Modernist "higher criticism" has revealed the Bible is the evolutionary history of our evolving religious belief.
• This is why the vast majority of sexual deviance in the Church's ranks occurs among those – regardless of just when they were ordained – who embraced the basic tenets of Modernism. After all, if we're evolving all this, then sexual morality evolves, too, right? And all those old, careful, even draconian strictures of the lives of priests and religious, well, we've evolved far, far beyond those! Alas, these "grandiose ascenders", obnoxious "I'm too spiritual for carnal desire or sin" types are easy prey for Satan. Communists have long known this. Their rule was never try to logically argue atheism with a cleric of any sort. Just get 'em drunk and "shacked up" and you've "won" the argument! (There's actually something weirdly Cathar-like, Albigensian, in all Modernists.)

The Jews

The Traditional Latin Mass isn't muti-cultural friend, esp to Jews

It is controversial to many to bring Jews up in any context, but it is a necessity regarding the TLM once you consider it. Why? Because they're not fans of the TLM. For those Jews of influence in the world, the Catholic Church is a concern. (Christianity is a concern!) They want it to refrain from anything that might encourage what they consider antisemitism, at worst, or renewed conversions of Jews (even worse). In the world we live in, even criticism of Israeli government policies can easily get one called "antisemitic". And with Muslim attacks on Jews in Europe, one can see why they're so touchy. But Islam is not Christianity.

Jews and the Church

One thing you won't hear much about, unless you are remotely familiar with E. Michael Jones (many consider him anathema), is the strength of Jewish influence the modern Church. There's always been a back and forth between the two since Our Lord's days in Galilee and Judea. Christians are supposed to be the "new Jews", the "Synagogue of the Risen Messiah King", the "grafted in" inheritors of the ancient Covenants. That is insulting to Jews by itself, but St. Paul clearly teaches Jews are lost unless they convert. Now, that is anathema to Jews, and has been since the beginning. (Most early Christians were Jews, of course.)

Yet they've played a significant role in the Church since Vatican II because the Holocaust occurred in nominally Christian (mostly Catholic) countries, at the hands of people who were, nominally in many cases, "Christian", and important figures in the Church have been deeply shamed ever since. Indeed, one of the reasons behind calling Vatican II was to somehow make the Church morally relevant after World War II, and make up for what a lot of critics considered its failure during the Nazi period.

So, Vatican II produced the document NOSTRA AETATE to patch things up with the Jews in particular. But again, the two religions, though Biblically and in Christ Himself "joined at the hip" in Siamese Twins style, just are pretty much mutually exclusive. So, some Jews, certainly, were they to have a mind to, are in a position and have motive to influence the Church. Jones makes the case – and it is easy to make – that Jews put the kibosh on the TLM because of course, bringing it back restores a lot of supposedly "anti-Semitic" New Testament texts that have been studiously left out entirely from the Novus Ordo Mass.

• Jones also thinks Jozef Ratzinger is sort of "bi-polar" considering he came of age in an occupied Germany that nearly starved in the winter of '46/47 because the infamous Morgenthau Plan, something (Jones doesn't mention) didn't happen that winter in part because of the exertions of one Herbert Hoover, former U.S. president. (No one ever seems to remember that Hoover had an important "after-life" after he left the White House.) George Marshall would later put the kibosh on the Morgenthau Plan, and replace it with his (surprise, surprise) "Marshall Plan". 

So much for ancient history. Why would certain Jewish concerns (George Soros, for example, or influential Jews in academia) be concerned with the TLM? And if they they were, what could they do to the Church? Well, it is not antisemitic to observe that influential Jews do make up an important segment of the world's banking and financial services area, and the Church is a "big business", with land holdings galore, investments in all sorts of enterprises, good and bad, and huge funds stored up over the past 100 years or so. In Germany, the Catholic Church is the largest employer outside the governmental system (Bild asserts this). And we all know, or ought to, that financial scandals are an even bigger millstone around the Church's neck than the sex scandals. Bergoglio himself infamously "rehabilitated" the putrid, diabolical Theodore McCarrick to go to China and "make a deal" with the Chicoms that involved betraying the underground Church there, for money. (McCarrick is far, far, light-years far more evil, carnally insane and putrid than ANY Renaissance Pope, or all of them together – or basically anyone since Judas Iscariot – to serve in the Church.) "Reform" of the financial aspects of the Vatican seem far more impossible than reform of anything else!

Therefore it would easy enough for important financial concerns to jerk Bergoglio's chain. (It has been long alleged that Benedict XV had to become "Father Benedict" because the Vatican bank lost its ability to serve its bank teller machine.) Bergoglio is also a Jesuit, and for a number of reasons, those Jews of influence who bother about the Catholic Church naturally have more access to him than they would, say, to Ratzinger or even Karol Wojtyła, who grew up with Jews as neighbors and friends in pre-war Poland.

So all in all, I think it is a good bet that culturally influential people, whether Jewish or cultural/entertainment big shots (often Jews, of course) do NOT want to see a restoration of a strong Catholic identity via the TLM – and all that goes with it; i.e. strong families, traditional morality, etc. Remember that during the '20s and '30s, the Catholic Church backed "National Legion of Decency" played havoc with Hollywood's incessant demoralization (literally) of the popular culture. A Catholic Church buggering boys and mouthing saccharine platitudes fits better for ANYONE seeking to make money off of "sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll."

"Pope Francis is tearing the Catholic Church apart..."

Michael Brendan Dougherty is not someone I quote from often, but he's always been very strong on the Traditional Latin Mass. He had an op ed at the NYTimes, and I refuse to even register with them, but I found it here at this site. I recommend it. (Not a high recommendation, exactly, but a solid one, nonetheless.)

Fr. Zuhlsdorf has an important, and very short post, here. This one IS a must read.

But Bergoglio is not the only one in these insane times ripping up, tearing apart, out-and-out trying to destroy something they're charged with protecting. We see that in the U.S. to an absolutely insane level. Victor Davis Hanson recently wrote powerfully of that, here. 

The bottom line is common-sense clear: neither Bergoglio nor Biden can be legitimate holders of their offices. We may well be imprisoned tomorrow for any number of reasons, but at least we don't have to warp our minds thinking legitimate rulers are doing this to us. To paraphrase Ann Barnhardt, "The Catholic Church is [not] an abuse cult that operates on gaslighting and Stockholm syndrome!" Even if Bergoglio tries to make it that.

Indeed, it is is not.

Some Good news: Alberta is done with Covid. Who's next?

 Amici,

Some Great News! The Canadian provice of Alberta is done with Covid. 

In a news conference last week, Dr. Deena Hinshaw, Alberta’s chief medical officer of health, explained the province’s public health system needs to respond to a variety of diseases besides COVID-19, especially as fall approaches.

“What we know from looking around the world is that COVID-19 will not be eliminated,” Hinshaw told reporters. “We will be needing to live with this virus for years to come.”

According to the Alberta government website, the province will begin “bringing the health response in line with influenza and other respiratory viruses.”

This includes shutting down all COVID testing centers by the end of August, lifting the mask mandate for public transport as of August 16, and lifting all requirements to quarantine after exposure to the virus, or even after experiencing COVID symptoms. The provincial government of Alberta is thus putting the response to virus squarely back in the hands of the people, which is where it ought to have been all along.

This is, of course, great news, indeed. And equally of course, it is bringing outrage from "all the usual suspects":  "Doctors express outrage over Alberta's plan to eliminate Covid rules" – well, of course they do. That  would be the equivalent of turning part of Canada into Sweden and exposing the fraudulent narrative that Covid is. Or perhaps to put it in a more North American context, it would be the equivalent of turning one of Canada's provinces (the wealthiest, most American like, actually) into "North Florida".

So now we have Florida, Sweden, Singapore and Alberta. Who will shake off "the Narrative" next?

• N.B. Notice how the second article says, "doctors" – would that include any of the tens of thousands of physicians and medical researchers around the world who have gone on record opposing the "vaccines"? Hmmm? Or just a few medicos the paper contacted?

Tumble-Down Biden

Look, my friends, as Joe Biden's fraudulent Regime falls all over itself as Kabul falls to the Taliban, with people falling of escaping American aircraft, as one Afghanistan mayor waits for her own "fall" – she's that country's first woman mayor, says she's waiting for the Taliban to come and kill her: "27-year-old Zarifa Ghafari is the first-ever female mayor of an Afghan city. She has survived three assassination attempts. Now she sits and waits for the Taliban to come kill her."

And that Biden reveals America to be a freak-show disaster, China now is advancing on Taiwan. (Note, the Global Times is a Chicom regime mouthpiece.) And as all this is unfolding, demonstrating that the the Biden/Obama 2.0 regime is a hopeless collection of Keystone Kops, well, can anyone believe Biden is going to have any success forcing national mask and lockdown mandates on the U.S.

Meanwhile, reports from Israel and the U.K. show unequivocally that the "vaccines" don't work, for example, the Pfizer one is only 39% "effective".

So, Joe, who even had to be photo-shopped in his center of power, is clearly an unmitigated disaster. Joe is no one and nothing, but we all knew that. (Even Obama used to say the same.)

Now, who will come out of the woodwork and try to lock us down again? Justin Trudeau?

New TLM movie, Mass of the Ages, Episode I; and Importance of The Assumption

 Amici,

If you've not seen it yet, please access The Mass of the Ages, Episode I, here or go to the site of those who produced it, The Liturgy.org. They're some folks from Dayton, apparently (Lex Orandi, LLC; 3080 Ackerman Blvd #215; Dayton, Ohio 45429, United States)

There'll be three movies altogether, and this first one is free. I know they we're working on this project when the lockdowns began, so it has been in process for a while. It is surreptitious that the team has been working on this project now, isn't it, that The Ogre is trying to stamp it out? Divine Providence, it is. Someone (a lot of us 'someones') need to tell the Church's Modernist bigshots that we're not going back. Period.

To put it metaphorically, both Fat Arry 8th and his sickly puppet son are long dead, so someone needs to tell Bergi that his imitation of Queen Elizabeth Tudor isn't going to work. (True, she was even uglier than the Argentine, but still, Bergoglio has filled the Vatican so full of "queens" that there's no room for even one more.)

The Assumption

Sorry I didn't get an article out yesterday for the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. (For an extended article and explanation of the Feast, see Fr Z on the subject. Old Fr. Hunwicke has a insightful reflection regarding this in an article here.)

The TLM I usually attend was packed yesterday morning, with a triple-sized choir an about ten or so brass horn/trumpet musicians. Alas, I wanted to attend the evening Solemn High Mass at the SSPX, but didn't make it, being "Married, with Kids". I'm sure it was exquisite. Along with all the other senses, memories, prayerful reflections and simple power of the Incarnation that these glorious Holy Sacrifices of the Mass envelope us in, it is astounding how they 'ennoble': they ennoble one's worship, one's spirit, one's soul. They truly uplift one toward Heaven and the Divine Judgment that awaits all of us.

So is it any wonder the Modernists want to deep-six it?

Bergoglio is scheduled to visit Hungary, September 12, and it is expected he's going to jerk the chain of Cardinal Erdő regarding the Latin Masses here. Pray God's will is always done, as the Lady Galadriel's prayer put it, "What should be will be", and that one way or another, Bergi's evil intentions are thwarted. Massively so.

Bottom Line

It's plain that "the Bad Guys" have seized the Church's control mechanisms, and as Fr Zuhlsdorf says, "Holy Mother Church is indefectible. The Lord promised that Hell would not ultimately prevail. He didn’t, however, promise that it wouldn’t prevail quite a lot. He made no promises about the mighty Church in N. Africa or Asia Minor… or these USA… or Rome."

We're all "domestic terrorists" now...

 Didn't know we were notorious, did ye?

From The Conservative Treehouse: Dept of Homeland Security Makes Official U.S. Government Announcement, If You Question Govt COVID Response You are Considered A Domestic Violent Extremist.  

The United States Department of Homeland Security made a quiet and alarming announcement yesterday, creating the official position of the United States Government under the Joe Biden regime. [SEE DHS STATEMENT HERE]  According to the statement, if you question the orthodoxy, mandates, or COVID-19 response from the U.S. government, you are now considered a “terrorist”, specifically a “Domestic Violent Extremist” (DVE).

This is quite a remarkable development and seems to underpin the tenuous, unstable and fragile disposition of the current regime.  The Department of Homeland Security seems rather paranoid in their need to label anyone who would question the COVID-19 response.  More than half the country would now be defined as dissidents and domestic terrorists within their our homeland.  Think about that.

An P again: indeed, think about it. And then, check out Dr. Ryan Cole's explanation of how dangerous the vaccines actually are. 

Dr Cole gives a standard medicine explanation of viruses and how they work, and how the "vaccines" don't work, and refers to a number of international studies now published from the UK and Israel.

From the show notes:

I am NOT anti-vaccine. I am pro-good science. My body, my choice.

Step back and look at the data and forget the politics. A quick analysis of the situation without fear and media hype. We need to have courage and logic and approach this in a manner the preserves liberty and protects people.

It is criminal these mandates for our young people.

Leave the kids alone, they survived this 100%. We are seeing a 200% increase in heart damage in our young men after this. This damage is scarring the heart, that's long-term! This is unethical, and a violation of morality.

This new 'variant is a 'scarient'. This is turning into what all coronaviruses turn into - a common cold.

If you want to be a subject in an experiment and think it's going to be a benefit to you. Your body your choice, be fully informed about what your risks are.

We shouldn't be coercing people into a shot where one of the potential side effects is DEATH!

And remember, Dr. Ryan Cole would now be deemed, by the Biden Regime, to be a domestic terrorist.

Sweden, Sweden, Needin' Talked About: Its Covid Success

Friends,

In the "Covid Year" from early 2020 to now mid-2021, Sweden is an incredible story of a country that didn't go along with the standard "Covid Narrative". I remember distinctly arguing with a few correspondents over the course of 2020 who argued that yes, Sweden didn't do lockdowns or mask-wearing, but they regretted that and were changing their tune as fast as they could. I argued back that that wasn't true then, and for the most part – the vast most part – I was correct. Sweden never did follow the standard lockdown-mask up "narrative". The people I corresponded with were reading the MainStream News propaganda. They were lied to.

So, how is Sweden doing today? It's doing fantastic, and that is in itself and in comparison to other countries caught up in the whole Covid idiocy. This article here at American Thinker, titled: "How Sweden Triumphed Over Covid" by William Sullivan, provides the latest news and links.

I would note that while the article opens with Sweden, and offers links to further info, it is also a review of the idiocy in the U.S. and other countries. Here's an excerpt:

Coerced lockdowns and masks must be the only viable solutions, Progressives told us for over a year, because their “experts” like Anthony Fauci said that was what “the science” demanded. 

And yet, there proudly stands Sweden, openly mocking the leftists’ most sacred orthodoxy of the moment.

But Sweden’s relative success isn’t limited to its medical outcomes.  Not only did Sweden avoid the ravages of the virus in terms of death rates, but its citizens are unquestionably happier and more readily poised for the future.  According to a new Pew Research poll, 86 percent of Swedes say the current economic situation is good, which dwarfs the assessments of Brits (44 percent), Canadians (49 percent), or the French (26 percent).  Sweden’s citizens are most likely, among a host of world nations, to say that their government did a “good job” in handling the 2020 pandemic.  Sweden’s 86 percent positive outlook on the economy is nearly reversed in America, with 71 percent saying that the current economic outlook is bad.

This is an extremely important point, how the spirit, the mental attitudes of the Swedes is so much better than the public moods of so much of the rest of the world. Forcing people to be "vaccinated" is grotesquely immoral. People instinctively know that and respond with anger and depression (and eventually, if pushed far enough, violence).

And making second-class citizens of those who aren't "sheeple" is profoundly immoral, and is sowing the seeds of forcing people into insidious classes that didn't exist before. Here in Hungary, someone I know just found out that they can't get a dental procedure done, something scheduled weeks ago, because just the other day the Health Minister ruled that "intrusive" procedures (like drilling teeth) could only be provided to those proving they've been double "vaccinated" or willing to pay for a PCR test. The PCR test is utterly fraudulent and even the CDC is backing away from it.

Dental work is apparently an "elective" procedure as opposed to a "life-saving" procedure, even though not getting the tooth fixed will result in a far more serious medical situation in a few months.

This is screamingly evil – it is evil to refuse care to anyone. That's especaill true to refuse care to someone who refuses to take experimental drugs for a disease that 99.7 percent of all people who get it survive.

It is also evil because it creates outcasts, "untouchables" and it replicates the status Nazis put Jews in from about 1938. The phrase they used, "Dirty Jews" was not just an insult, a pejorative, but it was a specific descriptive: the Nazis meant the Jews were naturally carriers of disease, that having Jews around infected non-Jews with weird, dangerous illnesses that only Jews carried. This is exactly what's beginning now. We must all work to stop this for if we do not, concentration camps are next, and in fact, plans are being drawn up for those! See here for an example: Detention Camps Being Built for Those at High Risk.

Fr. Ripperger on Tradition's Gaolers

 Amici,

Fr. Chad Ripperger read through Bergoglio's Traditionis Custodes (aka "Tradition's Gaolers") with Steve Cunningham and Ryan Grant here online. It is over an hour and a half long, but obviously it is very thorough. I transcribed Fr. R's summation. (It's amazing they're still on YouTube, of course.)

Resistance Podcast #194: Thoughts on Traditionis Custodes w/ Fr. Ripperger & Ryan Grant   

(1:39:00 in) Fr. Ripperger: "God will not allow the Traditional Latin Mass to be stamped out. The theologians in the past said the primary reason God created man is to have rightly ordered worship. That's the why He created us, so we would worship Him in a rightly ordered way. So that's what the Old Mass is, and so He's not going to allow this thing to be stamped out. We just have to be willing to stay the course and realize this is where our salvation is worked out in fear and trembling. This is wear the rubber meets the road. We have to be willing to suffer and grind this thing out. And this is where we win our crown of glory in Heaven, is by fighting for what is right, by fighting for what is just and good. And we just maintain it and don't allow ourselves to get sucked in to the negativity of it. (1:40:00)

(1:46:34) Historically, they always said that the longer a liturgical part of the Mass was part of the rite, the more it was indicating, indicates, that that's God's will that it be there. So in relationship to the Old Rite, we know that the essential structure of this thing has been there for 1400 or 1500 years, and even longer. So, that tells us that we know this thing is the will of God; we know it because He's had it around for so long. And if He didn't want what we're going through now, He would have brought this about a long time ago. But He didn't; okay, so, this indicates this is what He wants.

Now, one last thing to put together with that. We just read, on the Feast of St. Martha, where Martha says, "Tell her to come help me," Christ says something very important, which Trads have to keep in mind, and that's this: That she (Mary) has chosen the greater part, and it will not be taken from her. If we are worthy of the Traditional Mass, by being being holy, God will not take it from us. He might make it difficult, but He's not going to take it from us. So, our job is to be worthy of the Mass. (1:47:42)

Steve Cunningham then brings up Act 5:33-39, when Gamaliel told the Sanhedrin to leave the Apostles alone, for if what they were doing was not from God, it would die away on its own; but if it were from God, they, the Jewish leaders, could not stop it. Cunningham concludes: On the good side of all this, the lines are crystal clear; there's no gray matter anymore.

Among other comments, Ryan Grant observed:

1:43:47 The fact that this document came out, (Traditionis Custodes) I think it shows we're getting to – like Fr. Ripperger said – it's coming because we're doing something and all the players that are applauding this document, or all the people that we've noted for years do not exhibit that they have the Catholic Faith, okay, or whatever faith they have is not ours. And so it is a good sign, I think, silver lining too is that the whole problem of ordinary form and extraordinary form is really problematic, because they're really not part of the same rite, and now that's been wiped away for good. 1:44:17 The reform of the reform is dead. We're going to have tradition, or we're going to have Fr. Billy-Bob Masses. If you take stock in that and embrace that you know God is setting up, I think you know, a great victory for us in the future. And we just need to persevere like St. John Capistrano and Saint Bernardine of Sienna in the 15th century, trying to reform the Church, trying to perform their Franciscan order...and all these reforms –  they got some moderate reforms but none of it was really taken until 130 years after they were dead. ... You may not see it in your lifetime, but what matters is are you faithful. ... Are you becoming a better Catholic in response to this document, or are you becoming a worse Catholic? That's the question I think you should ask with some very serious spiritual introspection.

An P again:

A good number of important point are made throughout this discussion. The most important come at the end and regard our own spiritual welfare. One of the earlier observations I note is that the haste of producing and publishing Tradition's Gaolers indicate that Globalist powers-that-be, who now fund (to some extent) the Vatican, might well have told Bergoglio to stamp down on the one section of the Church that is resisting the "vaccines". I myself had brought up some time ago the "curious" timing of Tradition's Gaolers during this Covid Crazy Time. Interesting. Also, Fr. Z reports that Mount St. Mary Seminary, a part of St. Mary's University, in Emmitsburg, PA, one of the most prestigious seminaries in the US, is demanding students and seminarians to be vaccinated.

We live in truly evil times, and that is demonstrated best, perhaps, by the agonies the Catholic Church is going through. However, we need to "chose the better part", do we not?

Also...

St. Mark's Gospel 13, excerpt:

6 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am he; and they shall deceive many.

7 And when you shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, fear ye not. For such things must needs be, but the end is not yet.

8 For nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and famines. These things are the beginning of sorrows.

9 But look to yourselves. For they shall deliver you up to councils, and in the synagogues you shall be beaten, and you shall stand before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony unto them.

10 And unto all nations the gospel must first be preached.

11 And when they shall lead you and deliver you up, be not thoughtful beforehand what you shall speak; but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye. For it is not you that speak, but the Holy Ghost.

12 And the brother shall betray his brother unto death, and the father his son; and children shall rise up against the parents, and shall work their death.

13 And you shall be hated by all men for my name's sake. But he that shall endure unto the end, he shall be saved.
