Woe to you that call evil good, and good evil: that put darkness for light, and light for
darkness: that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter.
—Isaiah 5:20

Never has the individual been so completely delivered up to a blind collectivity, and never
have men been less capable, not only of subordinating their actions to their thoughts, but
even of thinking. Such terms as oppressors and oppressed, the idea of classes—all that sort
of thing is near to losing all meaning, so obvious are the impotence and distress of all men in
the face of the social machine, which has become a machine for breaking hearts and crushing
spirits, a machine for manufacturing irresponsibility, stupidity, corruption, slackness and,
above all, dizziness.
—Simone Weil

Relentless and inexorable

This menacing creation
That we ourselves conceived
With covetous verve and credulity
Something this intensely profound
Can never be allowed
The fabric and all that holds it
Will all burn
It will all be torn down
To contain it in its lair
Pandora's quantum prison
In wave after wave
It will see us fail
Consign to oblivion
This thing we cannot grasp
Bury deep this entity
Unlearn it ever existed
This is our omega
Factitious nemesis
The great dismantler
Of our dominion
If evеr there was a reason
Maintain this grеatest lie
That never did we look
Into the abysmal eye

—Meshuggah, “The Abysmal Eye”

 Preface

This book attempts to put into spiritual, psychological, moral, historical, cultural, and political
perspective the incredible evil we have witnessed and suffered over the past three years,
amounting to the greatest crime against humanity ever committed. The plandemic was an all-out
assault on every human being on the planet. Though its most obvious effects were economic and
political, at its core it was a spiritual and psychological-terror operation knowingly and
deliberately orchestrated by a small global elite of unspeakably evil and psychopathic people. It
was executed by a larger group of lower-tier cooperators ignorant of the master plan but vicious
enough to use their power and influence to inflict untold harm on those in their charge. And it
was enabled by the masses of idolatrous, fearful, alienated, rootless, selfish, and cowardly men,
the rotten fruit of a godless and decadent liberalism. How did this happen, where are we now, and
how should we prepare spiritually for what comes next? How we can best dispose our souls to be
in union with and conduits of God, Who alone can defeat this diabolical evil? This book tries to
answer these questions.

 Introduction
Antichrist Rising
The sacred is that which ineluctably holds us in its grip, a reality it is forbidden to eschew or
doubt. The sacred is ineluctable and inevitable, for it is the divine ground of reality, and to treat it
as a mere option, as modernity teaches us to do, is deadly to both the soul and the community of
souls. The contemporary worship of “options”—from what brand of high-fructose poison to
consume to what gender to adopt—is nothing but defiance of the sacred order of logos antecedent
to and authoritative over any of our subjective preferences: “Am I really a creature of this God
standing before me, or is He perhaps a creature like me? After all, I did not witness my own
creation!” And with that proto-modern gesture of defiance, the Miltonian Lucifer inaugurated his
eternal rejection of Reality. But what is sometimes taken to be sacred, of course, might not
actually be so, for counterfeits abound, and we must defy idols at all costs. Indeed, any sacred in
opposition to the One, True, Sacred of Jesus Christ and His Church is a lying counterfeit
deserving to be smashed to smithereens.

Contemporary society is replete with idols, for it is not in conformity with the Gospel. Indeed,
its leaders and reigning ideologies celebrate the four sins that cry to heaven for vengeance: over a
billion legally authorized murdered babies since abortion was first legalized in Soviet Russia; the
ubiquitous public endorsement of sterilized fornication and sodomy; oligarchic theft through
usury, taxes and wage slavery; and the physical, psychological, and spiritual oppression of the
poor though the same, along with mass-media propaganda, formalized and systematic de-
education, and ritualistic, trauma-based, state-sponsored mind-control events. Thus, everyone,
and especially Christians, have a moral obligation to doubt the counterfeit sacreds that are offered
to us for acceptance and worship by the puppeteers. From 2001 until March of 2020, the regnant
counterfeit was the false-flag attacks of IXXI (as S.K. Bain has shown, a satanic, human-sacrifice
ritual), and the genocidal war of terror it unleashed, resulting in millions of murders, a
traumatized, brainwashed, and anemic populous, and an incipient globalist totalitarianism. Now
we have been given the “Covid-19 pandemic,” and in both the scope and depth of its horrors,
IXXI now looks neither satanic nor sacred—it looks more like Disneyland (although Disney itself
is becoming more and more satanic).

Now, lest the reader misunderstand, by “the Covid-19 pandemic” I do not mean any disease
by that name, nor any virus purportedly causing it. For, as every bit of common-sense and
scientific evidence, as well as the in-between-the-lines admissions of today’s principalities and
powers (WHO and CDC), make abundantly clear, there is and has been no “Covid-19 pandemic.”
As just a little research will tell you, if you can still think the true and will the good in this milieu
of incessant propaganda and psychological torture, the fatality rate for what is called Covid-19 is
much less than 1% of those showing symptoms. And the vast majority of deaths were caused by
the lockdowns, medical abuse, forbidding effective treatments, and since its release, the
poisonous clotshot. What I mean, then, by “the Covid-19 pandemic” is the installation, under the
cloud of a hoax pandemic and engineered “virus” (in truth, as Dr. Judy Mikovitz has proven, a
pandemic of retro-virus diseases caused by decades of poisonous, animal-DNA infected
vaccinations, now being deliberately triggered through the unleashing of a bio-engineered
pathogen under the name Sars 2-Covid) of a global religion of Satan-worship commanding our
obedience to the Great Lie and the fear and hatred of all that is true, good, and beautiful,

8
including psychotically fearful, masked zombies celebrating their forced isolation and torture (see
Amazing Polly, who makes it clear that the Covid “regulations” fit perfectly the Amnesty
International definition of torture and Biderman’s “Chart of Coercion”), the destruction of their
livelihood, the shutdown of the food supply chain, and the New Normal of the Hunger Games.
But isn’t the sacred an extinct relic of our benighted, superstitious, medieval past? 

In truth, the hell-on-earth that is emerging—and we are descending to lower levels each day—
is precisely what we must have when the true Sacred is replaced with a false one, under the cover
of the godless and nihilistic denial of the objective existence of any sacred at all—other than “my
choice.” Reality Himself, Whom we should fear with holy reverence, the omnipotent,
omnipresent, and invisible True and Only Sacred, namely, The Eternal Father, His Son the Lord
Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit who is their Eternal Love, has been rejected and replaced by
Unreality, a fake omnipotent, omnipresent, and invisible “virus” (literally, an
existing nothing with no substance of its own) that we are commanded to fear with unholy terror
or suffer perpetual mockery, ostracization, and even death (for those who dare speak out against
it). And now, we must all be anointed, else be cast into the outer darkness, with a sacramental
“vaccine” that is nothing other than a disease-delivery system inserted right into our DNA.

How can we account for this emerging hell-on-earth, overseen by psychopathic technocrats
and their willing slaves, and orchestrated by demons and their occultist worshipers on earth? This
is something literally unimaginable only a few months ago. I have been racking my brain for
months trying to answer this question, and this morning it dawned on me. God is mercifully
revealing to the world the naked and brutal reality of our collective choice, both personally and
corporately, to live in unreality. This unreality is now being administered to the world by
globalist elites using the latest propaganda technology and a panopticon-like surveillance and
censorship apparatus. The effectiveness of their creation of unreality can be gauged by the
success of their two-fold Big Lie, namely, that there is a deadly pandemic, and that asymptomatic
transmission is a thing, a lie that has given these psychopaths total control of the world economy
as well as all the major institutions of governance and culture.

Due especially to those in positions of responsibility and leadership embracing this lie, or at
least not opposing it, but also to the masses who have irresponsibly deferred to these, we find
ourselves in a seemingly inescapable matrix of inverted reality, with meaninglessness masking
itself as conviction, fear as love, isolation as solidarity, destitution as generosity, poison as
medicine, ideology as science, propaganda as fact, abuse as justice. But why have so many
accepted a lie over the truth? I don’t think the answer is just the ubiquity and sophistication of the
propaganda. Common sense and personal experience make it patently obvious that there is no
pandemic, not to mention that the Elites have admitted it quite plainly (you just have to listen to
what they are saying in between the lies—they have admitted that the Covid-19 fatality rate, for
example, is comparable to a bad seasonal flu, and this even with so many deaths from other
causes attributed to Covid). There is a widespread and mysterious yearning for these self-
destructive lies.

Insofar as the West embraced Liberalism, i.e., the privatization of Truth and Goodness—
practical atheism—we have already been living in unreality for centuries. The hard physical and
legal totalitarianism we are now experiencing is but the flip side of the soft psychological and
spiritual totalitarianism that has made us ready and willing to accept and even embrace the
former. The empty shrine of the American idol of “the freedom of religion” was never actually
empty, though the diabolical entities inhabiting it and manipulating our souls were then well
disguised. Now, not so much. The same siren voices of authority that pre-Covid were instructing
the left-minded to “question authority” and “keep religion out of the bedroom,” and the right-

9
souled to “kill the terrorists over there before they kill us over here,” and “support our troops” is
now commanding us to slowly suffocate ourselves and allow our livelihoods, communities, and
families to be destroyed—and we listen and obey like the good Americans we are. After all,
we’re free! We don’t have an “established religion” like those ragheads over there and those
papists way back when. We’re enlightened! And that’s why we are lining up to be injected with a
poisonous and fatal DNA-changing technology at the behest of senile pedophiles like Joe Biden,
frauds like Anthony Fauci, and genocidal maniacs like Bill Gates. Individual liberty, the rule of
law, and the separation of Church and state have quickly become individual self-enslavement, the
rule of psychopathic will, and Church-approved state apotheosis (the American Bishops as a
whole seem almost gleeful to give over their shephard staffs to moronic and brutal bureaucrats—
wear your mask!). It was never freedom and autonomy and self-government was it? It was always
obedience to the Sacred State and the demonic voice speaking through it. When that voice was
seductive and libertine and mammon-friendly, then it seemed like freedom and bliss to obey it,
but now that it is showing its true face, the face of pure hatred, control, and murder, we must still
obey, even though we know that it is leading us to hell.

As I say, I have been racking my brain trying to figure out how we can get out of this
seemingly inexorable spiral to complete enslavement and unimaginable horror. My conclusion is
that we cannot. We are in a collective state of perfect possession. There are saints among us, of
course, who have remained immune to the leprous spiritual disease, and these are suffering
tremendously and heroically for us as victim souls; and there are many who are doing their best to
resist the evil and insanity, though I am afraid many are doing it in the name of the very demons
they think to be fighting -“bodily autonomy,” “individual liberty,” “religious freedom,” etc. The
only solution is for the whole world to be given a clear vision of reality, for satan to be blinded if
only for a moment, for everyone everywhere to see themselves as God sees them. Such an event
is coming, very soon if the consensus of Catholic mystics and visionaries are right, and it is called
the Miracle of the Illumination of all Consciences, or The Warning. Perhaps the only thing we
can do right now, along with burning our facemasks, giving the finger to every Covid Karen we
meet, and trying to find some land to buy off the grid, is to prepare our souls for it.

Platonic Prelude

 1
Why Reading Plato is Necessary for Salvation—Now

In his Confessions,1 St. Augustine remarked that he found all the fundamental truths in Plato… except
the Incarnation. Well, that’s a pretty big except. And if true, which it is—nowhere in the entire corpus of
Plato is there even a hint of the “Good beyond Being” ever mixing itself with matter, for while the eternal
and immutable forms may manifest themselves to us, they could, by metaphysical necessity, never
descend to our world of time and space. If Augustine’s remark is accurate, it would constitute a definitive
answer to the question that is the title of this paper. For since the Incarnation of the Second Person of the
Blessed Trinity is man’s salvation; since the authoritative account of it is found nowhere else but in the
Gospels, and since Plato, at least implicitly, denied its very possibility, then it would seem that in no way
can reading Plato be necessary for salvation. Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and no one
comes to the Father except through Him; one must love the Lord with one’s whole heart, mind, soul, and
strength; love is impossible without knowledge of the beloved; and ignorance of Scripture, as St. Jerome
said, is ignorance of Christ. So, reading the Gospels, not Platonic dialogues, is what is necessary for
salvation.

But even though we seem to have our answer, let’s keep going. Let me share a brief story: In the weird
time of my life when I was working on my dissertation, I landed a job tutoring the children of a multi-
millionaire traditionalist Catholic in Santa Cruz, California. I was charged to teach all six of them, one-
on-one, all of the liberal arts as well as theology. Well, one day I came to the house and all the literature
books in the library were replaced with Lives of the Saints. I asked the father of my students what had
happened to the library, and he said something like, “Mr. Kozinski, I realized last night that all that
matters is my children’s salvation, that we are saved by being good Christians, and that the best Christians
are the Saints, so they should be reading their lives—not Charles Dickens!”

Even though it is true that all that really matters is our salvation, there is something off with this
mentality. But what is it precisely? Perhaps it has to do with the paradox that even though happiness is
what we desire above all, if we try too hard to obtain happiness, concentrating on it alone as a goal,
instead of just doing the things that we love and trying to God’s will, we end up miserable. Perhaps it is
the same with salvation—we must desire salvation, surely, but we attain it by desiring God for His own
sake, more than for our salvation.

Somehow revelation, faith, grace, the sacraments—though these are necessary for our salvation, they
are not sufficient. But why not? To explore this question, and to see if indeed reading Plato is somehow
necessary for salvation, we shall first describe what I would like to call “existential Platonism,” which is
more of a mindset and attitude than a set of philosophical doctrines. Then we shall examine the culture we
live in to show why this existential Platonism is the natural antidote to its anti-logos immanentism and
materialism. Next, we shall examine what Rahner called “everyday mysticism,” and discuss why this is
the spiritual mode of being that God is calling us to, and why existential Platonism is its necessary
complement and condition. Lastly, we shall discuss how Platonic dialectic as an intellectual ascesis or
discipline can help up obtain “metaphysical courage,” and avoid intellectual idolatry.

Existential Platonism

12
 We have heard the story of Abraham Lincoln being educated on nothing but the Bible and
Shakespeare. Prescinding from the exact truth of this narrative for a moment, why not just the Bible?
Even if we say that of the two, the Bible is vastly more important for our souls, is not our intuition that
the Bible cannot really be read profitably without Shakespeare, that is to say, without something like a
liberal arts education, which, while not teaching us about the inner life of God and His dealings with
human beings, allows us to understand human beings and the world to which the God of the Bible
revealed Himself? How can we really understand the Gospels if we do not have a deep and accurate
understanding of the human nature that God subsumed into His Divinity, a human nature about which no
one, except perhaps for Plato, wrote more profoundly, comprehensively, and accurately than
Shakespeare? The liberal arts, the trivium and quadrivium, were considered, before modernity, the
indispensable tools for understanding the Bible. So, the liberal arts have some role in our salvation. But
what about Plato?

We are born separated from God, and we are saved through grace, which makes us one again with the
Divine, makes us children of God, and it is this reestablished kinship with God that constitutes our
salvation. But before grace can render us children of God and divinize our souls, our souls must yearn for
this sonship, this divinization. What makes us so yearn? A sense of the inadequacy and shadow-like
nature of this world, an intense feeling of alienation and homesickness, a profound intuition that there is
much more to reality than what ordinarily appears to us. Plato’s dialogues, I would argue, more than any
other non-revealed writing man has ever penned, evoke these senses, feelings, and intuitions.

We know that Jesus Christ is the answer to the ultimate desires of the human heart. But
what about the question? Can there really be an answer without a prior question? And can an answer be
an answer for me, unless it is the answer to my question? Jesus Christ is our Salvation, but is He salvation
for me unless I first desire this salvation. Eric Voegelin, the great twentieth-century German Platonist,
wrote that, “There is no answer to the Question other than the Mystery as it becomes luminous in the acts
of questioning”; Archbishop Bruno Forte once said, “What really is important in life is not so much to
provide answers, as to discern true questions. When true questions are found, they themselves open the
heart to the mystery”; and Origen, that great Platonist eunuch for the kingdom, wrote: “Every true
question is like the lance which pierces the side of Christ causing blood and water to flow forth.”
Paradoxically, then, the answers to spiritual questions are found in the questions themselves, or better, in
the very act of questioning, the art of which was brought to perfection in practice by Plato’s teacher
Socrates, and in writing by Plato himself.

Along with how to inquire into Being, Plato teaches us the essential spiritual and metaphysical truths,
as well as the mystical habit of mind and soul, without which Faith and Grace are stillborn in our souls.
We must believe in the biblical God through obedience to revelation, but do we not need to some
extent know that He exists, and know it intimately and existentially? If we believe by Faith and even
know by experience that He exists, but we cannot reconcile the revealed doctrine of His providential care
of all material things with what our modernized, materialized, mechanized, and Darwinized minds tells
us, then we are really part atheist in our souls. If we believe by Faith that He cares for us, but everything
in us but our Faith tends to see human power in perpetual battle with inexorable chaos, then we suffer
from a dividedness of soul that is spiritually perilous. If our Faith tells us that absolute Goodness exists,
but our souls cannot see anything absolute in a world that has been flatted, demythologized, and
disenchanted through the imposition of an immanent frame, then we are in danger of believing with one
divinely infused part of us, and disbelieving with all the other natural powers. We are told in the
Scriptures and the Church that we have an eternal soul, but can we be truly faithful to a truth that is alien
to our everyday awareness and intellectual paradigms? God is spirit, we are told by the Church, and so we
must believe that there is more to reality than matter, but compared to the men of the ancient and
medieval worlds, we tend towards an unconscious materialism.

13
 Plato can teach us to see “the world in a grain of sand” and “eternity in an hour” as the great mystic
and Platonist William Blake wrote. He can teach us to see the absolute through the relative, the
immutable in the mutable, the divine in the profane. It is Plato above all who teaches us those natural
truths dispositive to the fruitful reception of revelation: the existence of the Absolute Good, His
providential interest and care for the world, the existence and immortality of the soul, the symbolically
charged character of all material things. We cannot be saved, or it will be much harder than it has to be, if
we do not experience these realities, even if we ultimately accept them in obedience to Divine Faith.

In short, in Plato’s capacity to prompt recognition of our alienation from true, to provide us a mystical
glimpse of this true reality, to evoke a perpetual yearning for it, and enable us, through the dialectical
method of inquiry he invented, to achieve some participation in it by a diligent ascesis of mind, he is
simply indispensable, both as a precursor to Faith, and a guide along the way to our heavenly home.

Max Scheler, the great twentieth-century German phenomenologist and sociologist, captures well the
existential Platonism I have been recommending:

This new attitude might first of all be characterized vaguely enough from the emotional point of view
as a surrender of self to the intuitional content of things, as a movement of profound trust in the
unshakableness of all that is simply given, as a courageous letting oneself-go in intuition and in the loving
movement toward the world in its capacity for being intuited. This philosophy faces the world with the
outstretched gesture of the open hand and the wide-eyed gaze of wonder. This is not the squinting, critical
gaze that Descartes—beginning with the universal doubt—casts upon things, nor the eye of Kant, from
which comes a spiritual beam so alien as, in its dominating fashion, it penetrates the world of things. The
man who philosophizes with the new attitude has neither the anxiety characteristic of modem calculation
and the modem desire to verify things, nor the proud sovereignty of the “thinking reed which in Descartes
and Kant is the original source—the emotional a priori of all their theories. Instead, the stream of being
flows in on him, and seeps down to his spiritual roots, as a self-evident benevolent element, simply that,
apart from all content. This surrender to being is characterized by love, a willingness to be dominated
rather than to dominate, to bathe in the richness of being rather than to impoverish being by seeking to
control it for the sake of one’s own subjective assurance.

Faith, by which we are saved, is not reducible to the affirmation of doctrinal propositions, for it is the
substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen. We need an existential encounter with the
God who transcends subjectivity and human consciousness, but, nevertheless, can be touched by us, as
von Balthasar puts it: “Suddenly and in an indescribable manner the ray of the Unconditional breaks
through, casting a person down to adoration and transforming him into a believer and a follower.” It is
meeting the living God in the depths of our souls, not merely adhering stubbornly to beliefs about Him,
that saves us. Jesus said that unless you become a little child, you cannot enter the Kingdom of God.
What I am calling “existential Platonism,” is, I think, tantamount to the natural spiritual childlikeness of
which Our Lord speaks.

The Enemies of Logos

A flower cannot grow in infertile soil, may even die, or not even be born in the first place. Our present
culture is, among all the myriad descriptions one could give it, anti-logos, rather than simply anti-
Christian. Listen to Hans Urs Von Balthasar describe the Western world in the 1960s, a world in which
the enemies of Logos were only just beginning their all-out onslaught.
In a world without beauty—even if people cannot dispense with the word and constantly
have it on the tip of their tongues in order to abuse it—in a world which is perhaps not
wholly without beauty, but which can no longer see it or reckon with it: In such a world the
good also loses its attractiveness, the self-evidence of why it must be carried out. Man stands

14
 before the good and asks himself why it must be done and not rather its alternative, evil. For
this, too, is a possibility, and even the more exciting one: Why not investigate Satan’s
depths? In a world that no longer has enough confidence in itself to affirm the beautiful, the
proofs of the truth have lost their cogency. In other words, syllogisms may still dutifully
clatter away like rotary presses or computers which infallibly spew out an exact number of
answers by the minute. But the logic of these answers is itself a mechanism which no longer
captivates anyone. The very conclusions are no longer conclusive. And if this is how the
transcendentals fare because one of them has been banished, what will happen with Being
itself?
Thus, we need existential Platonism more than any other post-Christian age did, for Platonism at its
core aims at the visceral experience of logos, of order, of an enchanted, soaring, mystical reason that
touches the real true, good, and beautiful, of the absolute and transcendent in the thick of the contingent
and immanent, of the divine in everything and at every moment. Josef Pieper wrote, in his great
commentary on Plato’s Phaedrus:
For the general public is being reduced to a state where people not only are unable to find
about the truth but also become unable to search for the truth because they are satisfied with
deception and trickery that have determined their convictions, satisfied with a fictitious
reality created by design through the abuse of language. 2
Plato singlehandedly took the sorely abused language of his Athens and lovingly rehabilitated it to
become the primary conduit for the human translation of the Divine Logos who came to us four centuries
later. We need Plato’s help now to do the same for the tortured and mutilated discourse of our day.

Alasdair MacIntyre:
We have within our social order few if any social milieus within which reflective and critical
enquiry concerning the central issues of human life can be sustained…. This tends to be a
culture of answers, not of questions, and those answers, whether secular or religious, liberal
or conservative, are generally delivered as though meant to put an end to questioning. 3
The death of questioning, of inquiry, of what Eric Voegelin called “existential unrest,” is the death of
the soul. Thus, ours is a culture of not just physical but spiritual death. The life blood of man’s soul is
spiritual and existential inquiry—“Why?” Why? Why? The child asks, and when he loses his innocence
he ceases to do so, or only out of self-serving curiosity, for he has become self-sufficient, impervious to a
sense of the mystery of Being, whether he is a faithful believer in God or not. As Paul Evdokimov puts it:
The outdated religious person and the modern sophisticated irreligious individual meet back
to back in an immanence imprisoned within itself…. The denial of God has thus permitted
the affirmation of man. Once this affirmation is effected, there is no longer anything to be
denied or subordinated… On this level total man will not be able to ask any questions
concerning his own reality, just as God does not put a question to himself.[xiv] 4
Insofar as the ideology and spirit of secularism and liberalism, technocratism, anthropocentric
humanism, mammonism, and moral relativism incarnates itself every deeper into everyday life, the
existence of a reality other than naked human will and desire and its various artifacts becomes less and
less apparent and available to the soul. Charles Taylor calls this trajectory the Immanent Frame. And not
only is the supernatural banished from consciousness, but the natural as well. Guardini tells us that we
live at the end of the modern world, modernity being the apotheosis of the trinity of nature, culture, and
man, and post-modernity its rejection in an unnatural nature, anti-cultural culture, and inhuman man. The

15
upshot of all this that we are living in the first culture whose primary habituating effect is to render
repentance, and thus salvation, as close to impossible as possible. Peter Kreeft:
C.S. Lewis says, in “The Poison of Subjectivism,” that relativism “will certainly end our
species and damn our souls.” Why does he say “damn our souls?” Because Lewis is a
Christian, and he does not disagree with the fundamental teaching of his master, Christ, and
all the prophets in the Jewish tradition, that salvation presupposes repentance, and repentance
presupposes an objectively real moral law. Moral relativism eliminates that law, thus
trivializes repentance, thus imperils salvation. 5
If Plato teaches us anything, and if reading Plato has any effect on our souls, it is this: The Good
exists, and we are not it; it is absolute, demands our obedience, is thoroughly knowable by every human
being; finally, that it is in searching for, knowing, and obeying this Good, which we can encounter in the
very heart of our souls, that we are become happy, and are rendered pure so as to possess this happiness
forever. We need to repent to be saved, but we need first to believe in and encounter the Good in the
created world before we can meet Him in the Creator.

Everyday Mysticism
I now want to try to describe the mode of spiritual consciousness and practice I think God is calling us
to, and why an existential Platonism of the heart is the best preparation for these graces. I believe that
Romano Guardini’s depiction of the future that he penned in 1956 is true, and the I believe the future he
envisioned is now. He wrote:
The new age will declare that the secularized facets of Christianity are sentimentalities. This
declaration will clear the air. The world to come will be filled with animosity and danger, but
it will be a world open and clean…. As unbelievers deny Revelation more decisively, as they
put their denial into more consistent practice, it will become the more evident what it really
means to be a Christian. At the same time, the unbeliever will emerge from the fogs of
secularism. He will cease to reap benefit from the values and forces developed by the very
Revelation he denies. He must learn to exist honestly without Christ and without the God
revealed through Him; he will have to learn to experience what this honesty means.
Nietzsche has already warned us that the non-Christian of the modern world had no
realization of what it truly meant to be without Christ. The last decades have suggested what
life without Christ really is. The last decades were only the beginning. 6
Guardini does not leave us without hope, or a practical prescription for action in this frightening
apocalyptic scenario. He tells us that “free union of the human person with the Absolute through
unconditional freedom will enable the faithful to stand firm—God—centered—even though placeless and
unprotected.” “Loneliness in faith will be terrible. Love will disappear from the face of the public world,
but the more precious will be that love that flows from one lonely person to another, involving a courage
of the heart born from the immediacy of the love of God as it was made known in Christ…. Perhaps love
will achieve an intimacy and harmony never known to this day.”

This immediacy of the love of God, and this harmonious and courageous and intimate love for our
neighbor, seem to indicate a new and higher mode of Christian spirituality, what one might call
an existential Christianity. This does not mean that a dogmatic, an ecclesial, a sacramental, a liturgical, a
charismatic Christianity are thereby excluded or even deemphasized. It just means, I think, that absent a
deep existential component, without a mystical intimacy with and awareness of the living God in our
hearts, we will not be able to withstand the onslaught of the anti-logos nihilism and lovelessness that
awaits us. What Guardini is describing is an experience of God that goes beyond images and concepts.

Raimon Panikkar puts it profoundly: “The touch with the real without the mediation of consciousness is
precisely the mystical.” I think Panikkar here sums up the deeper teaching of Plato, who was trying to tell
us in his dialogues that all words, images, and thoughts are merely fingers pointing at the Sun, but never
the Sun itself, and that it is precisely in recognizing the limitations of human thought and consciousness
that the Sun, the Good beyond Being, can be touched, or rather, can touch us.

Karl Rahner in the 1960s wrote: “The Christian of the future will be a mystic, or he will not be at all.”
He describes this mysticism in some detail in his work, The Practice of Faith: A Handbook of
Contemporary Spirituality. He calls it everyday mysticism. Anyone who consistently does the will of God
is, for Rahner, a true Christian, though perhaps an anonymous one, as well as a mystic:
There is an individual who discovers that he can forgive though he receives no reward for it,
and silent forgiveness from the other side is taken as self-evident. There is one who tries to
love God although no response of love seems to come from God’s silent
incomprehensibility, although no wave of emotive wonder any longer supports him, although
he can no longer confuse himself and his life-force with God, although he thinks he will die
from such a love, because it seems like death and absolute denial, because with such a love
one appears to call into the void and the completely unheard of, because this love seems like
a ghastly leap into groundless space, because everything seems untenable and apparently
meaningless. There is the person who does his duty where it can apparently only be done,
with the terrible feeling that he is denying himself and doing something ludicrous for which
no one will thank him. There is a person who is really good to another person from whom no
echo of understanding and thankfulness is heard in return, whose goodness is not even repaid
by the feeling of having been selfless, noble, and so on. There is one who is silent although
he could defend himself, although he unjustly treated, who keeps silence without feeling that
his silence is his sovereign unimpeachability. There is someone who obeys not because he
must and would otherwise find it inconvenient to disobey, but purely on account of that
mysterious, silent, and incomprehensible thing that we call God and the will of God. There is
someone renounces something without thanks or recognition, and even without a feeling of
inner satisfaction. There is a person who is absolutely lonely, who finds all the bright
elements of life pale shadows, for whom all trustworthy handholds take him into the infinite
distance, and who does not run away from this loneliness but treats it with ultimate hope.
There is someone who discovers that his most acute concepts and most intellectually refined
operations of the mind do not fit; that the unity of consciousness and that of which one is
conscious in the destruction of all systems is now to found only in pain; that he cannot
resolve the immeasurable multitude of questions, and yet cannot keep to the clearly known
content of individual experience and to the sciences. There is one who suddenly notices how
the tiny trickle of his life wanders through the wilderness of the banality of existence,
apparently without aim and with the heartfelt fear of complete exhaustion. And yet he hopes,
he knows not how, that this trickle will find the infinite expanse of the ocean, even though it
may still be covered by the grey sands which seem to extend forever before him. There is
God and his liberating grace. There we find what we Christians call the Spirit of God.
To me, these are beautiful and powerful descriptions of the experience of salvation, in the here and
now, right in and through the most ordinary events of our daily lives. Yes, we need to go to Mass and
confession (if we are Catholics), to keep to a discipline of prayer, virtue, and good works, to study
Christine doctrine, to “keep the Faith.” But are we merely going through the motions? What did Our Lord
mean when he said, “Not everyone who says to Me, “Lord, Lord,” shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but
he who does the will of My Father in heaven”? If the emotional, psychological, and spiritual comfort and
security of our Benedict Option fortresses is making these kinds of radical acts of love, obedience and
abandonment to the will of God non-existent, or just rare, then maybe we should depart from them, or
even destroy them.

17
 Plato teaches us that every particular being we experience is always and already more than itself, for
each bespeaks a transcendent and mysterious fullness of being of which it is a partial constituent as well
as a mystical pointer. But the deepest teaching of Plato is that reality not only exceeds the written word,
as the Phaedrus teaches, but also the spoken word. For, ultimate reality exceeds thought and
consciousness altogether—yet we can still somehow touch it, or allow it to touch us. This is what arising
out of the cave and ascending the ladder of love to the top of the divided line amount to—the experience
of the Real beyond thought, even beyond consciousness. St. Paul wrote, “For the invisible things of him
since the creation of the world, are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made.” We
have all but lost this Platonic vision, and the fructification of grace in our souls requires its recovery.

Metaphysical Courage: To Infinity and Beyond

Over three hundred years ago, Blaise Pascal decried the state of his society: “Truth is so obscured
nowadays and lies so well established, that unless we love the truth we shall never see it.” Pascal’s
description of his day is a fortiori descriptive of ours, as purpose, meaning, coherence, order, and love,
things that make existence endurable and enjoyable, are diminishing fast as a function of our collective
cowardice. It is not that truth is not available in our society, but that its being found is a function of our
desire for it—and we lack this desire, for we have lost hope in the Truth. As our pluralistic society falls
into pieces and becomes ever more fractured into disparate groups with irreconcilable worldviews, the
need for a uniting intellectual and moral consensus becomes more and more urgent, and this can only be
one centered in Logos. But because radically different worldviews have radically different first principles,
it is very difficult to come to agreement on the existence and nature of this Logos through argument
alone; and since each group has its own unique philosophical starting point and mode of discourse,
argument, discussion, and debate are becoming more and more futile.

We all need—traditional Christians not excluded—to question boldly our assumptions and reflect
rigorously upon our first principles. Do we have a courageous understanding of what is real, or do we
hide fearfully in false first premises and partial truths we take to be the whole? Are we open to correction,
because we see that our consciousnesses always, to some extent, distort reality? Are we truly open to the
deepest truth of reality, that it is wild, unsafe, ultimately exceeds our grasp and control, but, is,
nevertheless, good and trustworthy? Or do we prefer the secure mental order we create for ourselves? If a
lack of mental manhood is the underlying cause of our cultural decline, then we need to take mental risks
and perform feats of spiritual endurance in the midst of overwhelming odds. But with the extrinsic help of
Tradition, the intrinsic help of grace, and our cooperation with this grace through courageous and
relentless inquiry and dialogue in the Platonically existential mode, coupled with our practice of everyday
mystical contemplation, we can ascend now, at least partially, to the whole which awaits us personally in
the Beatific Vision.

Well, we have yet to hear from Plato, so he can have the last word:
When a man is always occupied with the cravings of desire and ambition, and is eagerly
striving to satisfy them, all his thoughts must be mortal, and, as far as it is possible altogether
to become such, he must be mortal every whit, because he has cherished his mortal part. But
he who has been earnest in the love of knowledge and of true wisdom, and has exercised his
intellect more than any other part of him, must have thoughts immortal and divine, if he
attain truth, and in so far as human nature is capable of sharing in immortality, he must
altogether be immortal; and since he is ever cherishing the divine power, and has the divinity
within him in perfect order, he will be perfectly happy.

What Plato can Teach us about Plandemics

Plato taught us that the purpose of life is to know, love, and serve the Good, which is at once Reality
itself, its source, and the power by which we know and love it. Plato also taught us that, as humans are
communal, they know, love, and serve the Good together in communities, especially the larger
community of the polis or city.  For Plato and the philosophia perennis as a whole, Reality is the Good
and the Good is Reality, and as such the foundation and purpose of both personal and political life. 
 
But what is Reality, and how do we know it? No one grappled with this question more deeply than
Plato, giving us the classic distinction between what appears and what is. The Good is both What Is and
the perfect self-awareness of What Is, and so the distinction doesn’t apply to It. But you and I are not the
Good, and this otherness puts us at some distance from it, in the space between which, as it were, the
Good makes its appearance. The whole point of Platonism is to reduce this distance as much as possible,
such that for all intents and purposes, we become one with the Good and thus with Reality. When the
philosophers who are to rule the city have obtained this unity through rigorous formation and years of
contemplation, they order the city so that those living within it are enabled to become as united with the
Real and the Good as possible. Otherwise, as Plato makes clear, tyrants, those who put their desires in the
place of the Good and their dictates in the place of Reality, will rule a city of unreality unto self-
destruction.

Many people today, particularly the religiously inclined, still agree with Plato that knowing and loving
Reality and the Good is the purpose of life, but not many think that political life should be based upon
spiritual or even moral reality. Liberalism (in both the classical and late-modern versions) is responsible
for this change, as it teaches that the purpose of politics is to provide a secure space and the
economic/legal (free-market exchange, constitutional law) provisions and communal (family, school,
church, etc.) resources by which individuals can freely work out for themselves the difference between
appearance and reality and choose to live according to their conclusions without coercion. People in
political power are not authorized to impose their view of the Good and the Real on everyone else, which
is what we didn’t like in the bad, pre-liberal old days. It’s not that it wouldn’t be a great thing if we all
came to agreement on the highest good and the most real, if that were to occur through the free pursuit of
truth and individual happiness, but even then, no established religion or confessional political order would
follow. The secular, pluralistic city is the best one, we know now, for it secures the blessings of liberty
and freedom for all requiring only a modicum of shared principles, such as not killing each other over
disagreements about the Good and the Real, educational and economic opportunity for all, and not taking
other people’s stuff. Plato helped us to recognize the connection between the search for the truth about the
Good and political peace and happiness, but he went too far when he authorized the political community
to establish and impose the Good on its citizens.  We cannot force people to move from appearance to
Reality.

But if Reality and the Good is not something we want imposed on us by our rulers, why is it that since
March of 2020, we let them do just that? Suddenly, whatever the medical “experts” and “authorities”
declared was Reality—the most deadly global pandemic in human history— and Good—the shutdown of
all social and economic life, social isolation, wearing a mask, and mandated injections. The philosopher-
kings also made sure that all people in the world rejected any appearances to the contrary of their
declarations, with money, moral accolades, and prestige for the Reality-knowers, and sanctions,

19
demonization, and cancellation for the appearance-lovers. Why did we allow our social and political order
to regress to the Middle Ages? Did everyone suddenly re-read Book V of Plato’s Republic (in which the
details of the theocracy of the Good are laid out) and have a conversion experience?    

The short answer is fear. It seems that fear can bring out truth, and the truth that emerged in the past
eighteen months is that the liberal adventure of “choose your own good” was nothing but a facade. As
long as nothing life-threatening was at stake, the postmodernist play-acting of private bourgeois self-
creation and the secularist public agnosticism about Reality and the Good could continue along.  IXXI
was a significant interruption to the liberal status-quo, after which the fear of terrorism saw our
ecumenical non-judgmentalism and liberal tolerance morph into a fundamentalist theological crusade
against pure evil—with bombs. After the buildings blew up, millions of frightened American children
(adults who regressed) were initiated into Reality by their President-Father: Islamic terrorists (who didn’t
know how to fly airliners) destroyed two buildings (turning them to dust in mid-air), and terrorists were
now hiding in every town in America. Just like today, all dissent from the government-media narrative
was forbidden and punished, and agreement rewarded. But secular life in America (apart from airports,
perhaps) essentially remained the same: the Good/Real was still a private matter. And though on
IXXI geopolitical reality was dictated on to us from on high, there was still much of the Good and True
that we were still permitted to work out for ourselves. As long as “we killed them over there so they
wouldn’t kill us over here,” we were safe in our cities, our homes, and in our bodies, and so we were
happy with the liberal status quo.

But this episode of medieval atavism was only a prelude to the full-scale regression of the entire
globe.  If fear brings out truth, pathological fear is magisterial. Prefaced by an incessant onslaught of
horror propaganda, beginning in April of 2020, we were initiated from on high not only into the new
political reality of “the new normal,” but also into the new physical reality: Every air molecule in the
whole world was now toxic (except the air molecules in the restaurant or plane as soon as you take off
your mask to eat and drink). Our healthy, non-symptomatic neighbor’s very bodily existence would
certainly kill us if we didn’t interpose six feet and a piece of cloth. Staying inside one’s home and
shutting down the in-person economy was the only way to avoid certain death. And now every child on
earth needs to be injected with an untested experimental drug (even though children don’t die from the
disease, the drug doesn’t prevent or cure the disease, and the drug is killing more people than the disease).
Did I forget to mention that the human immune system no longer exists? Yes, we obeyed Reality as it was
revealed to us day by day by the medical priests and bureaucratic bishops. We listened and believed
because we wanted to know the True Good and the Really Real, and we wanted to know it together. C. J.
Hopkins:
The New Normals — i.e., those still wearing masks outdoors, shrieking over meaningless
“cases,” bullying everyone to get “vaccinated,” and collaborating with the segregation of the
“Unvaccinated” — are not behaving the way they’re behaving because they are stupid. They
are behaving that way because they’re living in a new “reality” that has been created for
them over the course of the last 17 months by a massive official propaganda campaign, the
most extensive and effective in the history of propaganda.7
It is well known that people in a psychotic state of fear will believe anything, no matter how absurd
and destructive, if it promises to give them a way out of the torturing fear. Every would-be totalitarian
knows this, and that is why totalitarianism is most effectively ushered in by a mass-trauma event followed
by an arbitrary assignment of blame, a scapegoating campaign, and a recipe for fear mitigation. If you
follow Reality by first believing this horror story (now you have an object for the free-floating anxiety
caused), scapegoating these people (now you belong to the community of the righteous), and
following these mandates (now you have the cure), your loneliness, fear, and guilt will cease. But I think

7
Ref.?

20
there is a deeper explanation for the transformation of so many postmodern relativists into medieval
dogmatists. And here we return to Plato. 

Human beings are indeed ordered to the Good and the True, and we are ordered to these  by and in
community. We crave to know and love and celebrate Reality, to live within it and for it, even to give our
lives for it, and we want most of all to do these things together. We want the Good for ourselves and for
others, and we want it with others, for, like Reality, the Good cannot really be enjoyed alone.  Reality,
after all, is a Common Good, one that increases and deepens the more people know, love and share in it.
What we want most of all is for our political community to express, authorize, and be founded upon the
Reality of the Good, for we know intuitively that if it is founded on mere human will and contract (and
there is no third option), however apparently benevolent, it will tyrannize us. Aristotle expresses the
Platonic insight:
When the community made up of several villages is complete it is then a city, possessing the
limit of every self sufficiency, practically speaking, and though it originates for the sake of
life it exists for the sake of good life. Consequently every city is by nature, if, that is, the first
communities also are. For the city is the end of those communities and nature is an end, since
we say that a thing's nature is the sort of thing it is when its generation has been completed
(as in the case of a human being, a horse or a house). Further, that for the sake of which
something is, or its end, is best and self sufficiency is both an end and best… By nature,
then, the drive towards such a community exists in everyone; but the first to set one up is
responsible for very great goods. For as human beings are the best of all animals when
perfected, so they are the worst when divorced from law and right. 
“Right” and “law” are common goods that cannot be adequately established or fully possessed by
individuals, families, or even villages. These perfecting goods are only found in the larger and more
complex polis, and, as Aristotle says, a man who doesn’t live in a polis, or doesn’t need to, is either a
beast or a god. But in Liberalism, “right” and “law” are not based upon the Good and Reality, for they are
mere contractual edicts expressing nothing more than human will.

Liberalism’s privatization of the Good not only “divorces us from law and right,” thus making us the
“worst of animals,” but also makes us crave reality-based law and good-expressing right. 

In the absence of a nationally or globally coordinated psychological operation of terror and torture
(both IXXI and Covid-19 respectively fit this bill), citizens of liberal regimes tend to fixate their free-
floating anxiety, assuage their loneliness, and satisfy their inexorable desire for a communally-shared
Reality and an authoritative Good by joining together in worship (including authentic religious worship,
but also the cults of career, sport, money-making, shopping, etc.). For the saintly among us, who being
god-like don’t need the polis as much as others, they are perfected well enough by the Reality that they
know through Divine Revelation and the Tao, without requiring the political publicization of the Good,
with their anxiety and loneliness and guilt taken care of by their intimate relationship with God. But the
vast majority of us need a polis as well as a Church, one that unites us, not in the isolated and isolating
“pursuit of happiness,” but in the communal enjoyment of happiness, in the knowledge, love, and
celebration of the Good in the Real. 

The Church is a polis, indeed, the best one, and the perfect model for all other polises. But there is
nature as well as grace, reason as well as Faith, the temporal as well as the spiritual, and we are
inexorably political animals as well as religious ones, citizens of the City of Man as well as (hopefully)
the City of God. In any event, it is not clear that the Church herself (in her human element) hasn’t now
become a servant of the totalitarian polis. An official Vatican conference was held in May of 2021 that
supported the injection of the entire global population with a gene-altering serum. Not to mention their
willing closing of Churches, refusing to hear confessions or give Last Rites, mandating masks and social

21
distancing, and even using parishes as injection sites. Here we have the very custodians and mediators of
ultimate Reality, the Bishops of the Catholic Church, renouncing their sacred vocation and embracing a
counterfeit Reality. They must have been starving for the Good and the True even more than the rest of
us.    

The totalitarianism to which we have been subjected for the last eighteen months is best explained
then as the “return of the repressed,” and as we know from horror movies, the form this return takes is
always a monster. Observing the totalitarian monster birthed from the ontological and spiritual vacuum of
liberalism rampaging around the globe claiming to be Reality Incarnate, and the billions following the
monster blindly as he approaches the cliff, we can see just how powerful our need is for institutions and
authorities to be based upon Reality and the Good. When Christ is dethroned, Antichrist is waiting in the
wings, and we would rather have him than nothing. Literal global insanity has now been unleashed due to
this primordial spiritual need having being repressed for so long and so extensively, giving birth to
existential fear now grown to pathological levels, satiated and exacerbated by a counterfeit reality
promulgated by a counterfeit authority offering a counterfeit savior from a counterfeit evil. 
In short, the last eighteen months is perhaps the demonstrative proof that Plato was right, though he
did not know that the Good would eventually come down and live in a backwater town somewhere east of
Athens. And since we know that the Good and the Real is Jesus Christ, perhaps we have demonstrative
proof of Catholicism as well, particularly the Social Reign of Christ the King. Pope Pius XI:

With God and Jesus Christ," we said, "excluded from political life, with authority derived not from
God but from man, the very basis of that authority has been taken away, because the chief reason of the
distinction between ruler and subject has been eliminated. The result is that human society is tottering to
its fall, because it has no longer a secure and solid foundation."

From Liberal Democracy to Global Totalitarianism

An excessive desire for liberty at the expense of everything else is what undermines
democracy and leads to the demand for tyranny.
—Plato

In a recent lecture at Notre Dame, Alasdair MacIntyre argued that the claims and conceptions of
universal and inalienable human dignity as reflected in documents such as the 1948 United Nations’
Universal Declaration of Human Rights and in various post-war European constitutions are puzzling,
since this dignity requires a duty of respect to everyone just for being human, no matter their behavior or
character, so Stalin the mass murderer has as much dignity and deserves as much respect as Mother
Teresa. Aquinas’ view of dignitas as interpreted by Charles De Koninick is a challenge to this view, for it
assigns human dignity, not to the mere fact of being human, but to end to which we are called, which is
supernatural, union with God, which might not be attained due to one’s choices on earth against those
common goods which enable our attainment of the supernatural end, and so human dignitas could be lost.
According to this view, which is founded on the end to which humans are called and the virtue of justice,
not the mere fact of being human and an ambiguous and philosophically ungrounded human dignity, the
20th-century concept of human dignity is much too individualistic, and because it is not based in justice
and the common good, only can provide negative prescriptions against the undignified treatment of
humans. It is unable to provide positive prescriptions that enable persons to obtain the common goods and
the virtues they need to attain their supernatural end. For MacIntyre, we need to speak of human dignity
in terms of justice, what we owe to each other for the sake of enabling persons to attain their personal and
common goods and final end, which is the knowledge and love of God in this life and the next.

I would like to use MacIntyre’s lecture as a springboard to talk about the current situation of the world.
Since March of 2020, we have suffered an all-out, deliberate, and planned assault on both human dignity
and justice. To see this, I cite the Catechism of Catholic Church’s section on “Respect for the Dignity of
Human Persons” which is a kind of synthesis of the Thomistic justice and common good-oriented and the
modern rights and dignity-oriented views, presenting a set of both negative proscriptions and positive
prescriptions for what this respect requires. It will be shown that every one of these has been violated to
the core under the pretext of public health.  I think the reason for the success of this assault, waged by
billionaire globalist elites with the complicity and cooperation of national governments, is the lack of
popular resistance to it, indeed, the popular acceptance and even celebration of it. And I think the reason
for this malignant effect upon souls is the ideology of secular liberalism.

David Walsh in his 2016 book Politics of the Person as the Politics of Being argues that the secular
liberalism that produced the 1948 United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights and various
post-war European constitutions, although not founded on any particular theology or metaphysics or

24
anthropology, indeed, not founded on anything other than a consensus and commitment to the rights and
dignity of the human person, is worth preserving and celebrating for its wonderful achievements. He
writes:
Liberal constitutions have emerged from the competition of modern political forms to outlast
and surpass all rivals. Not only did they supersede monarchical and aristocratic forms to
establish commercial republics, but they have overcome the far more formidable challenges
posed by collectivist and authoritarian rivals in the last and present centuries. Despite their
weakness and unpreparedness, liberal democracies found within themselves the resources
necessary to defeat fascism and persevere through the long confrontation with communism.
Now they stand as the exemplars not only of economic and political success but as the model
of moral legitimacy the world over, even as they are challenged by the lingering assertion of
authoritarian models. No higher aspiration prevails in the contemporary world than to create
a political order that is derived from and ordered toward the preservation of individual
dignity and respect. The moral and political authority of liberal democratic forms may be
ironic, given their own inner self-doubt, but it can hardly be denied as a global reality.
Well, the irony, I am afraid, is much deeper than mere “inner self-doubt.” In the section on the Fifth
Commandment, under the heading of “Respect for the Dignity of Persons,” the Catechism of the Catholic
Church presents five norms that must be obeyed and upheld by persons and societies. Far from fulfilling
these norms, virtually all the governments of liberal democracies in the world, those with “no higher
aspiration . . . than to create a political order that is derived from and ordered to the preservation of
individual dignity and respect,” have attacked the dignity of persons on a scale never before seen in
human history. The Catechism states:

Respect for the souls of others: scandal

Therefore, they are guilty of scandal who establish laws or social structures leading to the decline of
morals and the corruption of religious practice, or to "social conditions that, intentionally or not, make
Christian conduct and obedience to the Commandments difficult and practically impossible." This is also
true of business leaders who make rules encouraging fraud, teachers who provoke their children to anger,
or manipulators of public opinion who turn it away from moral values.

Respect for health

Concern for the health of its citizens requires that society help in the attainment of living-conditions
that allow them to grow and reach maturity: food and clothing, housing, health care, basic education,
employment, and social assistance.
If morality requires respect for the life of the body, it does not make it an absolute value. It rejects a
neo-pagan notion that tends to promote the cult of the body, to sacrifice everything for its sake, to idolize
physical perfection and success at sports.

Respect for the person and scientific research

Research or experimentation on the human being cannot legitimate acts that are in themselves contrary
to the dignity of persons and to the moral law. The subjects' potential consent does not justify such acts.
Experimentation on human beings is not morally legitimate if it exposes the subject's life or physical and
psychological integrity to disproportionate or avoidable risks. Experimentation on human beings does not
conform to the dignity of the person if it takes place without the informed consent of the subject or those
who legitimately speak for him.

Respect for bodily integrity

Kidnapping and hostage taking bring on a reign of terror; by means of threats they subject their
victims to intolerable pressures. They are morally wrong. Terrorism threatens, wounds, and kills

25
indiscriminately; it is gravely against justice and charity. Torture which uses physical or moral violence
to extract confessions, punish the guilty, frighten opponents, or satisfy hatred is contrary to respect for the
person and for human dignity. Except when performed for strictly therapeutic medical reasons, directly
intended amputations, mutilations, and sterilizations performed on innocent persons are against the moral
law.

Respect for the dead

The dying should be given attention and care to help them live their last moments in dignity and peace.
They will be helped by the prayer of their relatives, who must see to it that the sick receive at the proper
time the sacraments that prepare them to meet the living God.

How have the “models of moral legitimacy” called liberal democracies lived up to these five norms?
Since March of 2020, we have witnessed the emergence of a global totalitarianism the scope and gravity
of which has no precedent in history, replete with monstrous scandals (laws allowing abortion mills and
liquor stores to stay open while schools and churches are shut down), domestic terrorism ( fear-porn
propaganda and state-sanctioned violence against peaceful protesters), horrific medical experimentation
with no informed consent, and a wanton disrespect for health (outlawing effective life-saving medicine,
mandating immune-system destroying injections), bodily integrity (mandatory masks, and vaccinations
known to cause sterilization and death), and the dead (forcing the dying to die alone in nursing homes and
hospitals).

Reiner Fuellmich and Vladimir Zelenko, just to name two of the most prominent and heroic truth-
tellers and activists, have made a powerful case that what should be called the plandemic is the greatest
crime against humanity ever committed, essentially a global medical experiment ordered to genocidal
depopulation and sterilization, Big Pharma profits, and elite, totalitarian, economic and political control.
We must add to this the psychological devastation of billions of brainwashed, abused, degraded, and
dehumanized persons through what has been diagnosed by competent psychologists as mass-formation
psychosis. What we have witnessed in the very liberal democracies that according to Walsh are “the
exemplars not only of economic and political success but as the model of moral legitimacy the world
over” is a global mass-terror campaign of fear and torture in which millions consented to, or at least did
not widely and forcefully resist, a global economic shutdown leading to millions of deaths, the
devastation of national economies, and the destruction of the property-owning middle class. This
shutdown included deprivation of fundamental human rights, including the setting up of literal
concentration camps for the unvaccinated, the physically and psychologically damaging and medically
useless masking of whole populations, including young children, and the coercive program of injecting
every living human being with an untested, gene-altering serum known to kill more than it saves, all for a
disease that according to the actual numbers was and is for the vast majority of people no more fatal than
the flu.

In America in particular, we have also seen the cultural decadence and scandal of television shows
glorifying the sexualization of pre-teens and death games for sport, and the wholescale rejection of the
natural law with the ever-increasing celebration and normalization of abortion, sodomy, and
transgenderism. Marxist critical-race theory has fueled the scapegoating of non-minority populations as
intrinsically racist, with full permission given for mass rioting and looting, and the FBI has declared
parents to be domestic terrorists just for raising questions about the curriculum and policies at their
children’s schools at school board meetings.

Walsh writes:

26
 Whatever benefits might accrue to the whole society, they are not worth gaining if it means
the sacrifice of its humblest member. We simply know that we do not wish to belong to any
society that would live at the expense of its most vulnerable members. 8
If this is true, why did the majority of citizens around the world acquiesce so quickly and easily to
measures that sacrificed their most vulnerable members? The economic victims of the lockdowns and
school shutdowns were primarily the lower classes and children, and masking children for hours on end is
literal torture. The Injections are killing more children than they save, they are known to be made from
aborted fetuses—and children are virtually immune from any harm from the virus! Can this be seen as
anything but living at the expense of the most vulnerable? We are literally sacrificing our children to the
new Moloch of “public health.”

However one explains the present totalitarianism (and if you deny that we are now living under
globalist totalitarianism, you are beyond the reach of argument), it cannot be denied that it emerged from
the cultural and political soil of what we call liberal democracies. There are only two explanations for
this. One is that a revolution happened, one in complete opposition to those secular, enlightened, liberal
principles and practices that are truly ordered by and to the dignity and respect for the human person.
Marxists or fascists or psychos have infiltrated the liberal sanctuary and profaned it. The other
explanation is that the totalitarianism we are now undergoing is logically entailed by the very principles
and practices of liberal democracy, which are not actually ordered by and to the dignity and respect for
the human person, but only claim to be. I think the latter explanation is the more plausible one.

Chad Pecknold:
The progressive civic-religious regime is very dangerous sort of pseudo-integralism, which is
to say an inverted parody of Christianity. The good news is that this has exposed something.
It has exposed the lie that a religiously neutral polity is possible at all. For all of human
history, political and social order has sought religious unity precisely because religion is a
precept of the natural law — we cannot do without it. The liberal dream of religious
neutrality is an anomaly of a couple hundred years that is simply not natural, and so it’s
simply not sustainable.9
The empty shrine of liberalism was never really empty, as all political orders seek religious unity, even
if the religion is a satanic one in opposition to all that is true, good, and beautiful. We have enshrined
arbitrary power and meaningless, directionless, anarchic freedom, and we are all supposed to have this
power and freedom, but who are “we”? From the perspective of the liberal state in which the Good is
privatized and Truth is perspectival, man is an intrinsically meaningless, directionless, anarchic vector of
force (hopefully not getting in the way other men), determining his personal meaning and direction of life
by his own will and choices. But that all changed in March of 2020. Suddenly we were vectors, not of
free choice, but of deadly disease, and we were not permitted to think or act otherwise. Since, according
to liberalism there is no God-imaged-and-ordained teleological human nature and person underneath the
state-imposed vector assignments, or if there is, it cannot be recognized by the State (for the State is
proudly a metaphysical, moral, and theological moron), but since the State is in absolute charge of
providing, defining, managing, and enforcing personal and group rights, when the State changed the
vector denomination from freedom to disease, and forced us all to cover our faces and await mandatory
injections under house arrest, there was really nothing we could say or do about it. “If you can’t beat em,
join em” describes the Stockholm syndrome that ensued, with billions of freedom-loving people all over
the world celebrating their enslavement, and scapegoating the minority who resisted it.

 Liberalism represents a transformation of human nature from the ground up; it is an
extraction of human nature, root and branch, from the actual tradition in which it is
embedded, so as to enable a truly radical re-interpretation of every dimension of human
existence. . . . We propose that there is literally nothing good about liberalism per se—there
is nothing good about it because, first of all and according to its essence, it is as total a
rejection of Christianity as is possible, and, moreover, by its nature it is parasitical,
something unreal in itself in the strict metaphysical sense of being privative, insofar as it is
founded in a potency that asserts itself over actuality: it is not a reality, as we have seen, but
a negation of reality, or perhaps a contrived conspiracy to negate reality. To put this in an
extreme formulation, understanding evil in the ontological sense of the privation of
goodness, we could say that liberalism is evil as a political form.
Insofar as liberalism succeeds in privatizing the good and thereby rendering metaphysical and moral
reality purely subjective (and the technocratic manipulation of perceptions has contributed much to this
success), its citizens are habituated—imagination, memory, intellect, body, soul, and spirit—accordingly,
so that objective reality itself becomes an empty vessel, nothing but the pure potency of “options,” as
Schindler puts it, to be filled with arbitrary desires and idiosyncratic personal preferences, the strongest
ones of the moment (or the most ruthless and cunning group) always winning out. What this amounts to is
a “free” populace habituated to be literally out of their minds because cut off from the Logos, the Tao,
from God. Hannah Arendt was prophetic, and I think her words apply to our day even more than they did
to hers.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist,
but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction (i.e., the reality of experience)
and the distinction between true and false (i.e., the standards of thought) no longer exist. 10
My thesis is simple: The only plausible explanation for the totalitarianism we are suffering is that we
citizens of so-called liberal democracies have become the ideal subjects for it. MacIntyre was right.
Unless we ground the dignity of the human person in terms of justice, the justice we owe to persons due
to their being created in the image and likeness of God and called to communion with Him, we have no
rationally compelling reasons for respecting the dignity of persons. But I will go further than MacIntyre to
say that unless the political order is explicitly and constitutively ordered to the supernatural end and
universal common good of persons, God as revealed by Jesus Christ, it cannot adequately provide the
particular common goods of family, workplace, school, and local and ecclesial community, along with the
virtues needed for the flourishing of such communities and the securing of such goods. It must thus
counterfeit man’s supernatural end and universal common good,  replacing it with the subhuman,
unnatural end of “freedom,” but then, logically (as Plato showed in Book VIII of the  Republic)
enslavement to the most ruthless and powerful in a collectivist and idolatrous worship of state power
under totalitarian rule--the annihilation of human dignity. The liberty we all collectively worshipped pre-
Covid was already an enslaving, unjust, and self-destructive one, but it remained hidden to most. Now it’s
undeniable and out in the open, though many still can’t see it, and perhaps never will.

What is Being Revealed
Medicine, science, technology, academia, law, politics, economics, journalism,—these and all the
sundry institutions of contemporary, western, secular liberal society and culture are now in a state of
complete corruption.11 And I mean complete. Incomplete corruption entails intact ends, but corrupt
means, e.g., medicine seeking to promote health, but, due to greed or incompetence, promoting illness
instead. Complete corruption ensues when the natural ends themselves are no longer sought.

Medicine,12 instead of promoting health and life, is now promoting illness and death—consider the
poisonous and deadly spikeshot13 calling itself a vaccine. Science,14 instead of promoting empirical truth
based upon impartial research, is now promoting empirical falsehoods based upon
ideology. Technology,15 instead of helping man to harness nature for his flourishing, is now working
to enslave the many to the few. 16 Academia,17 far from being a bastion of free inquiry ordered to truth, is
now nothing but woke group-think ordered to power. Journalism 18 reports lies as truth, politics19 secures
the common evil, economics20 destroys wealth, and media21 mediates unreality.

What’s the reason for this systemic and absolute corruption? Did a group of evil, psychopathic men
infiltrate these institutions and get into positions of power? Well, yes, certainly.22 But the question
remains as to how and why that happened. My thesis is that absolute corruption is what happens and what
must happen when societal institutions are officially divorced from natural and supernatural reality, when
they are set up and made to function as self-sufficient entities, needing no explicit, corporate, and
deliberate grounding in the true and the good. When man, a creature of God, acts as if he were self-
created and independent, he becomes a monster. It is the same with institutions. First they are corrupted

by atheist ideology (whether explicit as in Marxism or cloaked as in liberalism), then they are taken over
by psychopaths and their wicked minions.

I have been committed to this thesis on an intellectual level for some time now, but it is something else
to see its truth playing out in practice right before our eyes. Ever since I figured this out decades ago, after
reading Plato’s Republic, Christopher Dawson, and the Encyclicals of Leo XIII, I have been trying to help
people, especially Catholic academics, to see this truth, at least on an intellectual level in terms of logic,
of what follows and must follow from first principles, the primary of which being, to paraphrase Douglas
Farrow,23 that politics flows from culture, culture from religion, and religion from theology. But now, the
truth is right here in living color, manifest, concrete, palpable, in front of our eyes. The incarnate
revelation of evil.

I had once thought that when the obviously evil consequences of diabolically evil ideas, such as the
grotesque, cunningly hidden godlessness of liberalism, became manifest in existential and material
reality, the masses would wake up, repent, revolt, overthrow the elite of psychopaths and Luciferians in
power, and work with the grace of God to establish a new Christendom. Well, the evil consequences are
here now in spades—virtually the entire global population has injected itself with a deadly, human-
genome altering poison, and the leaders of the Church that the God-Man Himself founded promoted this
diabolical sorcery—and I see no sign of such a graced response, though there have been pockets of
resistance. Quite the contrary. It is as if the whole world is under diabolical possession. The end game is
the voluntary, consensual spiritual self-enslavement of every human being to the will of Satan via a
technocratic globalist elite. The means to this is staged “crises” (fake pandemics, false-flag provoked
wars) that tempt us to turn on our own brothers and sisters and cry out to the minions of antichrist for
salvation from the very evils they have caused.

God is allowing these demonic elites to torture us so that their masks fall off and we finally realize that
rejecting God as our Father, we don’t get to govern ourselves, as liberalism tells us. The only alternative
to submission to the Living God who gave His Blood for us is enslavement to vampiric monsters who lust
for our blood. God is allowing this final chastisement—and it is going to get worse—so that so that as
many people as possible will recognize Him, cry out to Him, and repent. God cares about nothing more
than the salvation of souls. We are His creatures, and we are to obey and live in His will. He has given us
the gift to do this on earth. 24 It is the same with the institutions that we have created in modern times.
They are to be instruments of His will, ordered and grounded in it, not instruments of human will in
rebellion against reality and thus His will, the ground of reality. There is no neutrality, no “secular,” no
“liberal,” no “separation of Church and state.” There is just the Holy Will of God, and all humans and
human institutions must be obedient to it. If they are not, they have hell to pay, both now and in eternity.
And this is also a consequence of God’s love. He will bring us into His arms, even if it’s because the only
alternative is the hideous mouth of the devil.

When “I think” is “I want”

Relentless and inexorable

This menacing creation
That we ourselves conceived
With covetous verve and credulity
Something this intensely profound
Can never be allowed
The fabric and all that holds it
Will all burn
It will all be torn down

To contain it in its lair

Pandora's quantum prison
In wave after wave
It will see us fail

Consign to oblivion
This thing we cannot grasp
Bury deep this entity
Unlearn it ever existed

This is our omega

Factitious nemesis
The great dismantler
Of our dominion

If evеr there was a reason

Maintain this grеatest lie
That never did we look
Into the abysmal eye

—Meshuggah, “The Abysmal Eye”

And when he was sitting on mount Olivet, the disciples came to him privately, saying: Tell
us when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the
consummation of the world?  And Jesus answering, said to them: Take heed that no man
seduce you:  For many will come in my name saying, I am Christ: and they will seduce
many. Then they that are in Judea, let them flee to the mountains . . . . For there shall be then
great tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now, neither
shall be.  And unless those days had been shortened, no flesh should be saved: but for the
sake of the elect those days shall be shortened. 25 
At the end of our lives, we will say to God, “Thy will be done”—and be saved, or “My will be
done”—and be damned. We will say what we will say based upon how we lived our lives in our deepest
intentions, whether we consistently submitted to God’s will or our own will; if the latter, we will be given
a last chance to repent before our final say and God’s final judgment. God’s will is Reality, and our will

when separated and thus in defiance of His is unreality. Hell is best defined as eternal and irreversible
unreality.

I’ve said before that the scamdemic was and is (it’s not over) a pandemic of unreality. Its underlying
spiritual intent, whether conscious or unconscious in the minds of the human intenders—though definitely
conscious in the minds of the angelic intenders—was to condition us voluntarily and knowingly to choose
to believe and live in unreality. Every particular lie, ideology, institutionalized structure of
sin/mendacity/injustice, false-flag psy-op, occult sorcery, technological domination/seduction, and
propaganda program is aimed at such conditioning, of course, but the plandemic was, as it were, the
ultimate synthesis of all these evils. If the sorcery of IXXI was the inauguration of the Reign of
Antichrist, and if the pandemic served to prepare us for his imminent arrival, then the Ukrainsanity may
very well bring us his actual presence on the world stage.

The propaganda now is on another level than the scamdemic, if that were even possible, and the real
possibility of a global economic shutdown, universal famine, financial ruin, and even nuclear holocaust is
more apparent than ever. Only God can save us from all this, but the Antichrist will present himself as the
savior, and as the scamdemic has revealed, the vast majority of people desire illusion over reality,
enslavement over freedom, oppression over liberation, and scapegoating-fueled self-righteousness over
repentance-induced humility. The Antichrist will (temporarily) save us from Armageddon, yes, but at the
cost of our souls, and just as we willingly accepted the status of walking diseases, inmates of a global
panopticon and medical experimentees of psychopaths as long as it promised to take away the fear, so too
will we accept the status of worshippers of the Antichrist as long as he promises to save us from global
chaos and mass annihilation. And if we fell for Fauci and Gates, clownish human caricatures who
nevertheless swept billions up into their lies and murders, we will be no match for Antichrist, whose
deceptiveness and seductiveness will be at such a level “as to deceive (if possible) even the elect.”

As I have said in previous essays, God will indeed save us from all this, including the curse of the
Antichrist, and He will do this through The Warning, The Miracle of the Illumination of all Consciences.
We will still have to make our choice for God’s will over our own, for Reality over nothingness, right
after this event, but we will now be in a position to do so with full knowlege and consent, for the Warning
will destroy all rationalizations and self-deceptions, all excuses and justifications, and we will see
ourselves just as God sees us, and we will know God’s judgment on what we see. If we want Truth, we
will repent and God will inundate us with His grace to make us know Him intimately and love Him
intensely. If we want lies, He will allow us to enter into a state of utter unreality, and honestly, I don’t
know what will happen to these people. They will be like the walking damned, but haven’t we seen an
intimation of these in the scamdemic, all those masked covidiots and covidian cultists raging at the Truth
you tried to convey to them and walking blindly like zombies to get their poison injections, rejecting
anything other than the satanic narrative and hating you viscerally for your truth-telling?

All this is a preface to what I really wanted to talk about in this post, which is a phenomenon I have
noticed lately, one that is directly tied to the preceding. I am sure you have noticed it as well. It occurred
to me that this phenomenon was prophecied by Dostoyevski in Crime and Punishment. Raskolnikov
chooses unreality over reality by murdering his landlady to show his capacity to transcend the moral law,
and the novel shows us the psychological and spiritual consequences of his choice. Towards the end of
the novel, before his repentance and conversion, Raskolnikov has a dream:
He dreamt that the whole world was condemned to a terrible new strange plague that had
come to Europe from the depths of Asia. All were to be destroyed except a very few chosen.
Some new sorts of microbes were attacking the bodies of men, but these microbes were
endowed with intelligence and will. Men attacked by them became at once mad and furious.
But never had men considered themselves so intellectual and so completely in possession of

33
 the truth as these sufferers, never had they considered their decisions, their scientific
conclusions, their moral convictions so infallible. Whole villages, whole towns and peoples
went mad from the infection. All were excited and did not understand one another. Each
thought that he alone had the truth and was wretched looking at the others, beat himself on
the breast, wept, and wrung his hands. They did not know how to judge and could not agree
what to consider evil and what good; they did not know whom to blame, whom to justify.
Men killed each other in a sort of senseless spite. They gathered together in armies against
one another, but even on the march the armies would begin attacking each other, the ranks
would be broken and the soldiers would fall on each other, stabbing and cutting, biting and
devouring each other. The alarm bell was ringing all day long in the towns; men rushed
together, but why they were summoned and who was summoning them no one knew. The
most ordinary trades were abandoned, because everyone proposed his own ideas, his own
improvements, and they could not agree. The land too was abandoned. Men met in groups,
agreed on something, swore to keep together, but at once began on something quite different
from what they had proposed. They accused one another, fought and killed each other. There
were conflagrations and famine. All men and all things were involved in destruction. The
plague spread and moved further and further. Only a few men could be saved in the whole
world. They were a pure chosen people, destined to found a new race and a new life, to
renew and purify the earth, but no one had seen these men, no one had heard their words and
their voices. But never had men considered themselves so intellectual and so completely in
possession of the truth as these sufferers, never had they considered their decisions, their
scientific conclusions, their moral convictions so infallible.
Does this not sound like the men of today? I can’t think of a better description of the virtue-signaling
Covidiots of the scamdemic and the “Kill-Putin” zombies of the Ukrainsanity.
“They did not know how to judge and could not agree what to consider evil and what good; they did
not know whom to blame, whom to justify.”

Now, this sounds like the opposite of the previous description, but it really is the same thing. It is
precisely because they don’t know, and, more precisely, don’t care to know what is evil and good, what is
true and false, that they take their opinions to be infallible. What causes the contradiction between
infallible knowledge and absolute ignorance in those infected with the plague is their putting, before any
conscious and reflective evaluation of what is actually the case, “I want” in the place of “I think.” In other
words, “I want this to be the case,” therefore, “I think this is the case,” and finally, “This is the case.”
There is a part of them that knows that they don’t know, but because they so much want things to be a
certain way, they eclipse that Socratic part of themselves with a neurotic “will to knowing,” a
pathological and fanatical dogmatism that is just a defense mechanism against their dawning awareness of
ignorance. I know from my own experience of doing this on occasion that it is not usually a fully
conscious choice. I do think that for the most wicked, the Faucis, Gateses, Soroses, and Schwabs, and
those even more wicked lurking behind the scenes, it is a quite conscious choice of the will to power over
reality and God. But for the vast majority, it is a conditioned, pre-rational pathology. But I think that we
are all being conditioned to become more and more consciously complicit in this choice for desire over
reality. This, to me, is the ultimate intention of the scamdemic and Ukrainsanity, notwithstanding the
other intended goals, such as the Great Reset, global chaos, democide, totalitarianism, war, famine,
enslavement, et. al.
It is easier than ever before for us to choose “I want” over “I think,” and “I think” over “It is.” How
easy it is now to live in our dialectic-averse silos of self-justifying “communities,” whether online or in-
person, in which we can remain impervious to any “other” who might challenge our desires-beliefs-
thoughts-judgments. It is an atavistic return to the worst kind of tribalism, a regression to a degraded and
perverse primitivism. It is the worst because now it is a conscious, sophisticated, cultivated choice to
regress in our consciousness, all the while knowing the alternative, a perversity that primitive tribes, of

34
course, were not able to descend to. They were more like ignorant children. We are knowledgeable adults
choosing to behave as, nay, be ignorant children.

Here’s an example of what I am talking about. Recently, a book came out called  Ask Your Husband, a
wife-of-eight-children’s screed against godless, male-hating feminism, the kind of screed I would usually
favor. But it presents as the antidote to feminism something akin to the  paterfamilias “family” of pagan
Rome, ostensibly justified by the plain interpretation of Scripture and Catholic Tradition. Recalling
Raskolnikov’s dream, this is, of course, an infallible book, and judging from their response to criticisms
(such as my wife’s), anyone who disagrees with the author’s prescriptions of, say, under penalty of sin,
the wife agreeing to the marital act always when desired by the husband (except for, say, extreme illness),
or never leaving the home without asking the husband, or never working outside the home (even  with the
husband’s permission) is obviously anti-Catholic and on the side of the evil feminists. This refusal of
dialectical inquiry mixed with ad hominum and accusatory attacks on dissenters all based on the most
tendentious of Scriptural and doctrinal interpretation bespeaks the “I want” = “I think” = “It is” mentality.
Why this particular husband and wife want this kind of relationship, which is psychologically oppressive,
emotionally abusive, morally unjust, and spiritually perverse is beyond me. Needless to say, it has nothing
to do with “what is”, that is, the Catholic Church’s teaching or Scripture or human nature or actual gender
characteristics and common-sense roles or justice or charity. This internecine Catholic squabble is just a
microcosm of the “debate” on the scamdemic and Ukrainsanity, and here we could include the plague-
like discourse among Christians on the nature of modernity, World War II revisionism, IXXI, and the role
of Freemasonry and occult sorcery in world events. Are you woke yet?

So, what to do? Truly, we can only look to ourselves to solve this problem. Are we putting “I want”
over “It is”? Are we engaging in that sort of relationship with an other or others that could alert us to this
anti-truth tendency in ourselves? I know my relationship with my wife helps me quite a bit, and this is
because she is vigilant about all this, and is not afraid to call me out when needed. The Warning will
shock the hell (literally) out of the best of us, showing us in graphic detail just how much we have put our
own wills over God’s will, how much we live in untruth while thinking we are courageous truth-seekers.
Can we give ourselves little warnings now so the shock then will be less painful? Let us get out of our
solipsism by prayer, fasting, and almsgiving, first of all, and by being as vigilant as possible to avoid
infectious areas, people, groups, and activities, and by practicing immune-strengthening activities,
seeking to be in close relationships with plague-immune people, such as Jesus Christ and those who truly
love Him, and truly love us.

—2 Timothy: 3

I was thinking about what the past two years, including the present Ukrainsane, means, what are
we really encountering here, what exactly is being revealed to us, what is at the heart of it all?
And the word that kept coming to me was manipulation. We have all experienced manipulation in our
personal lives, and it is the worst of traumas. A child never suspects being manipulated by those he trusts,
and the first time it happens, it is a great fall, a catastrophe, for it is a deep wound to love. Her whole
world becomes dark and menacing, and here begins the possibility of a life of suspicion and self-
protection, where manipulation becomes the lingua franca, and she must manipulate first, more
cunningly, more ruthlessly, and always so as not to be manipulated by others into a state of perpetual
weakness and slavery. Or one could just escape into oneself in loveless isolation. If the love of others
doesn’t come to his rescue, these are the paths that will be taken, and love dies in his soul. How many
have taken one or the other of these paths, and perhaps don’t even realize it or what caused it. I think it’s
a very large number. The scamdemic and Ukrainsane have exacerbated this already endemic trauma to
pathological levels.

Public discourse now is pure manipulation, pure lovelessness, where what is claimed as fact, just,
right, good, and true is simply the will of the ruling class member, what he wants you to think is fact, just,
right, good, and true. And the Masters of Discourse are not content with simply lying to you, for this is
low-level stuff. They seek to put you in a state where the only reality you experience, nay, want to
experience, is the one they make for you. Postmodernism told us that all narratives and claims to truth are
just the expressions of human will, with the ones now predominating the expression of the strongest.
Knowing this “truth,” we are enabled to resist and deconstruct the “master discourses,” and thus escape
the mass-manipulation to maintain our autonomy and freedom. But what if we choose instead to embrace
the manipulation, learning to love it and the power or control it seems to bring us? We may never become
one of the elite masters of discourse, but we can be great fanboys!—we can show ourselves to be their
good and faithful servants! Great rewards in this. We can always be the ones who point the accusing
finger, with it never pointed at us.

I think this is the stage that most people are now at. Incessant and relentless propaganda, scapegoating,
gaslighting, and domestic terrorism and torture—in other words, the scamdemic—has led to mass
Stockholm Syndrome, among other pathologies of the soul. The real abusers are celebrated and defended
with affection and love, and we go on to verbally and mentally abuse through manipulation those in our
communities and sub-communities, whether in-person or virtual, in imitation of the manipulative
discourse that has victimized and corrupted us. And just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, here
comes the Ukrainsane by which the Masters of Discourse have superboosted the manipulation pandemic
to neverbeforeseen and heretofore unimaginable levels.

When one comes to realize just how toxic the discourse is today, and how much it has possessed
everyone, including ourselves, it is natural to want to avoid it, and only associate with and talk to those
we still trust not to manipulate us. These are becoming fewer and farther between. It is a miracle now just
to have members of one’s own family, let alone one’s religion or workplace, who are not manipulative.
And this manipulation plague is more contagious than any virus. But we must not give in to this
temptation. We must be healed and then serve as models of non-manipulative discourse and deeds so as

37
to counteract and shine a light on the manipulative mimesis that is taking over the world. And for this, we
need much intimate converse with God, whose love is the model of and medicine for the manipulation
contagion.

When you read the words and actions of Jesus in the Gospels, the love manifested in them is what
makes the greatest impression on our hearts. It is true love, not mere sentiment (niceness) or tolerance or
empathy or pushoverness, because it is grounded in truth. But in light of the foregoing, the opposite of
love in words and deeds, and especially words, is not so much hate, for this can be caused by love, or
even indifference, for this can be caused by mental illness or mere distraction, but manipulation. If you
think about it, the last word you would ever think of describing Jesus Christ as is manipulative. His
intentions always match his actions, his actions always match his words, his words always match his
thoughts, and his thoughts, words, actions, and intentions are never self-serving. In every encounter, He is
focused purely, intensely, and entirely on the good of the other, even at the expense of His own reputation
and life. Manipulation is the complete opposite—always self-serving, even at the expense of another’s
good, sometimes at the expense of his immortal soul.

Jesus will cure us, and through us the world, from the spiritual disease of manipulation. Let us go forth
in truth and love, even if it means a journey to the Cross. “Let your yes be yes, and your no be no.”

GEOPOLITICAL TRUTHS: The Ukraine conflict is Scamdemic Part II, imposed on the minds of
the masses with even more intense and diabolical propaganda than the Scamdemic, promising even more
mayhem and death and insanity to usher in the Hunger Games Great Reset Antichrist Enslavement
System. The Covid “pandemic” was orchestrated and executed by elite globalists from WEF, WHO,
CDC, NIH, Gates Foundation, and Big Pharma, with the complicity of lower-tier officials and puppets of
media, religion, tech, science, medicine, law, academia, and government, with billions of people
subjected to trauma-based mass hypnosis and mind-control in order to reduce the population through self-
inflicted vaccine genocide and sterilization, and to usher in the Great Reset, the final and complete
enslavement of the 99% to and by the .01%.

HISTORICAL TRUTHS: The “Wars of Religion” were actually political intrigues to gain the reigns
of State power, more accurately described as the birth-pangs of the nation-state. Freemasonry and
atheistic liberalism are the two greatest forces in modernity. The World Wars are not what we think they
were, and both the liberal and conservative narratives taught to everyone in the history books are full of
huge lies. The greatest force for good in history is the Roman Catholic Church, since it was founded by
Jesus Christ, the God-man, to bring His truth and grace to the world, and all history turns on the
acceptance or rejection of her authority. All evil men and groups in the world seek her destruction, and
that’s what history since the Incarnaton is all about. At present, the Church hierarchy is replete with
wicked men, but also some saints.

PHILOSOPHICAL AND THEOLOGICAL TRUTHS: Secular liberalism is an illusion, for all

political orders are inexorably religious and based upon a particular conception of man, the good, and
God. Good and evil are realities that can be known by human reason, and all political orders and laws
must be based upon the Good and opposed to evil, not mere arbitrary social consensus and contract. Both
pious deference to Tradition and Socratic inquiry into public truth claims are indispensable for knowing
the Good, for while humans are tradition-dependent in our knowledge, we are also tradition-transcendent

39
in our capacity. The purpose of life is to know, love, and serve God, and eternal reward and eternal
punishment are the only options. God exists, preserves and rules the universe, became a human being, and
established one and only one religion and community, the Roman Catholic Church, outside of which there
is no salvation, though the grace of which she is the only conduit is available outside of official
membership due to the infinite generosity and love of God.

PROPHETIC TRUTHS: We are now in the Great Tribulation, and all the evil that is happening now
—the times we are now in are eviler than before the Flood—and in the near future is permitted by God to
prepare you and me for the Warning, the Miracle of the Illumination of all Consciences, coming VERY
soon, which is to prepare you and me for the Reign of Antichrist and Great Chastisement, after which will
be the Era of Peace in which Jesus Christ will reign through His intimate and ubiquitous and irresistible
spiritual presence, and no evil will exist on the earth.

I do not adduce these claims but merely state them. It would take a book to even begin to justify them
adequately. I trust many of my readers know them, or many of them. It has taken me years of study and
prayer to acquire the knowledge of them, and some of them are pure gifts of Faith through the Holy
Spirit. They are accurate descriptions of geopolitical, historical, philosophical, metaphysical, theological,
and prophetic reality. At this point, I know them to be true, and there is more than adequate evidence of
their truth, although the geopolitical claims, being what they are, are more amenable to change with
further evidence. And I know that anything less than unwavering and heartfelt committment to these
truths, especially the philosophical and theological ones, but to some extent each and every one of them,
means a willing or unwilling compromise with lies and evil, and therefore vulnerability to these lies and
evil posing grave danger to one’s soul.

It is more important than ever before to be grounded in Truth, for we are in the midst of the greatest
pandemic ever to threaten humanity, not one of bodily disease, but of soul death, the deliberate embrace
of unreality. Hell is spiritual death, and hell is a kingdom of unreality. The scamdemic inaugurated the
kingdom of lies on a global scale, and the lies will only multiply and metastazize, as they are right now
with Ukraineinsane (my neologism) until the Warning, in which the Truth of everything will be revealed
simulatenously in the deepest recesses of the souls of every human being on earth. If we have not
prepared ourselves for this moment by living in the truth in love as much as possible, we will not be ready
for it, and the suffering will be unspeakable. Those with a good will will be healed through this suffering-
in-truth, but I fear that those whose wills are turned against truth will be confirmed in evil, unable to
repent before they die. Those who promoted the scamdemic and are now promiting the Ukraineinsane, all
the way from the psychopathic elites at the top to the school-board, maskhole covidiot covdians and low-
level, moronic fact checkers, are, it seems to me, in great danger of final impenitence. If you’ve tried
talking to these people, you know what I mean. Gaslighting is all you get, and that’s indicative of pure
hatred of truth.

In the list of truth claims, I include more than recent and present geopolitical ones, for the
metaphysical, theological, and historical truths are necessary to understand all the others. Many who are
in-the-know accept the former but not the latter, or the latter and not the former. This will not do. We
need them all. Those who understand the geopolitical but not the metaphysical and moral and spiritual are
ungrounded in deep reality, and thus subject to deep soul and mind errors that render them susceptible to
deep spiritual deception. Those who understand the metaphysical and the moral and the spiritual but not
the geopolitical are sitting ducks for mind-control—consider the horrendous number of orthodox
Christian and morally conservative covidiots and Ukrainidiots who have internalized the commands of
their demonic oppressors.
One more truth: God is gifting the world with the greatest possible gift, the Gift of Living in His
Divine Will. I know this to be true. For four bucks, buy and read this book, now. This is the nuclear
weapon God is giving us to destroy the devil and all his works.

The Best of Times, The Worst of Times
Never has the individual been so completely delivered up to a blind collectivity, and never
have men been less capable, not only of subordinating their actions to their thoughts, but
even of thinking. Such terms as oppressors and oppressed, the idea of classes—all that sort
of thing is near to losing all meaning, so obvious are the impotence and distress of all men in
the face of the social machine, which has become a machine for breaking hearts and crushing
spirits, a machine for manufacturing irresponsibility, stupidity, corruption, slackness and,
above all, dizziness. —Simone Weil
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of
foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of
light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.
—Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities
The best social and political order is the one whereby it is easiest to know truth, adore beauty, and love
goodness, especially the highest, most sublime, and best truths, beauties, and goods. This is so because
the purpose of life is to attain holiness of soul. Not to mention thtat truth, beauty, and goodness is the
earthly trinity mirroring the supernal Holy Trinity, and God created you and me to know, adore, and love
God in His creation and in Himself now and for eternity. Indeed, the best social and political order is the
one that enables the most people possible to know this truth and practice it, that is, it would be a
fundamentally religious society—truly religious, that is, deeply spiritual and suffused with agape, not
Phariseeical and cultish, full of hypccrisy and self-serving—founded upon and ordered to this truth. Such
a society would also have in positions of authority and power only those people and institutions most
knowledgeable of and loving towards this and all other soul-enriching truths, beauties, and goods. And
these leaders and institutions would seek to inculcate in the citizens through law and customs those
virtues and practices that best enable such knowledge and love, virtues such as courage, temperance,
justice, prudence, faith, hope, and love, and practices such as critical, Socratic inquiry in private and in
public, an economy of freedom, justice, charity and leisure, and public celebrations and festivities that
solidify the commuity in friendship and intensify our joy and solidarity by making explicit what and
whom we love together.

I could attempt to defend the aforementioned claims, but it seems to me that my readers already know
them to be true, or at least the basic thrust of them to be true (we may differ on the details). I trust that
anyone who has plumbed the depth of the evil of the scamdemic knows that money and power is not the
purpose of life, that lying is evil, that every human being is sacred, that God and love is real, and that this
world is wonderful and beautful, but ultimately just a preparation for eternity, in comparison to which all
created things are insubstantial shadows.
How do contemporary societies and political orders measure up to our ideal society? Simone Weil’s
words above regarding her own society almost one-hundred years before today are illuminating. With
those with eyes to see, the evil now is so blatant and visceral, so profound and ubiquitous, so monstrous
and ugly, so inhuman and diabolical, it is akin to a Divine Revelation of evil. Murder and lies are the
trademarks of Satan, and the scamdemic is nothing but murder, mass-global-genocidal murder, and lies,
the greatest lies ever uttered and practiced:

● Psychotic fear (and now heart attacks and strokes in children) is normal.

41
 ● Official claims and pronouncements are always true, and arbitrary dictates, however cruel and
irrational, must be obeyed without question.
● Healthy people are sick, nay, are contagious and deadly diseases.
● The human face and breath are abominations to be covered and suffocated.
● Children should be tortured (mask wearing for 7 hours a day, even outside and when playing) and
sacrificed (poison injections), even by their own mothers, for the comfort of adults.
● Universal and objective reality is off-limits to humanity, replaced by the declarations and dictates
of self-and-State appointed “knowers.”

But I wonder if Weil wouldn’t change her words a bit had she been alive now: “So obvious are the
power and triumph of all men in the face of the plandemic, which was supposed to be a machine only for
breaking hearts and crushing spirits, a machine for manufacturing irresponsibility, stupidity, corruption,
slackness and, above all, dizziness—but has also, by God’s grace, become a fountain of truth to
embolden and enliven hearts, to empower responsibility, intelligence, purity, diligence, and above all,
clarity.”

For those with eyes and ears to see and hear, the scamdemic revelation of pure evil has been revelatory
also, through contrast, of pure goodness. We know more than ever what goodness means and how
important the truth is, for we have experienced their radical absence and negation. We are experiencing a
worldwide knowing of truths that has been eclipsed and repressed for so many centuries due to the mass
moral and spiritual lobotomization program that began in earnest in the “Enlightenment” and culminated
in the postmodern dictatorship of relativism and technocratic totalitarian liberalism. 26 What do we know
now?

● The human face is sacred and must never be shunned and covered as if it were intrinsically
disgusting and evil and shameful.
● The simple things in life—good work, joyful play, wholesome parties, public fellowship in
honest discussion and debate, these are precious and to be guarded with utmost vigilance from
debilitating, suicidal fear and hatred.
● It is just pure evil to wage power and submit to it when this power is not being used for the good,
when it is arbitrary and disconnected from settled law and reality.
● There just is absolute Goodness, Truth, and Beauty, and our personal and social and economic
and political life must be based upon these.
● We either have God and reality as the basis of our personal and corporate lives, or we have Satan
and unreality.
● Liberalism, wherein the truth—except for “science”—and the good—except for what’s good for
the oligarchs—are privatized and depoliticized, doesn’t now and had never existed. All political
orders are religious.

Those most complicit in the scamdemic want unreality and the hell that is its essence, as long as they
get to rule over it. Those less complicit but still guilty of cowardice or greed or just apathy and passivity
are okay with unreality and hell as long as they can have their little pleasures of judgment and
scapegoating and their home-office tech jobs. But the rest of us want, more then ever before, reality and
the heaven that is its essence, the reality/heaven that bespeaks and promises eternity and love and
providence, the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man under His loving protection and guidance.
What we no longer want, after experiencing its hellish unreality for two years, is “the right to define one's
own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, and of the mystery of human life," to use the
words of Justice Anthony Kennedy in the Planned Parenthood vs. Casey Decision of 1992. For we know

42
that this is not the “heart of liberty” as Kennedy assured us. At the heart of liberty is  Reality, God’s
reality, not the reality of technocratic eugenicists, sadistic billionaire psychopaths, soulless corporate and
political puppets, and mindless, petty, and spiteful bureaucrats, and not even the reality as it appears to
each of us in our inevitably ego-distorted consciousnesses. And we don’t want a “concept of existence,”
either another’s or our own, but existence itself. We don’t want the right to define existence, but the
ability to recognize, receive, adore, and love existence as it truly is.
Again, what we have experienced since the installation of liberalism in modernity is a slow process of
moral, psychological, and spiritual retardation, where the masses have lost the ability to know and love
the Good, satisfied with the simulacra of “defining” it by reducing it to shallow, propaganda-conditioned
emotion and sheer, irrational, arbitrary will. And those who have managed to escape the dumbing-down
process, who still retain the ability and desire to receive and love reality as it is, have been relegated to the
margins of culture to live out their definitions and conceptions “of meaning, of the universe, and of the
mystery of human life,” in private social clubs.

Even after the unspeakable horrors of the World Wars, fascism, totalitarianism, genocides, and IXXI
and the Global War of Terror, all of which was a sort of dry run for the more comprehensive and
profound horrors we are now witnessing and to come, so many of us were still content with our
postmodern bourgeoise lives of self-creation and our post-truth politics, as long as we had enough money
and comfort and the freedom to live within out preferred sub-cultures. We took reality for granted—it will
always be there won’t it!—and our basic grasp of it, more or less accurate, we assumed with insouciance.
And we didn’t really care too much if our views of things really corresponded with reality, as long as they
were “respectable” views. Even less did we care or even want politics to be based upon the actual Good
and the morally and metaphysically and theologically True, but only on our contracted “rights” and
“freedoms.” If it secured those, to hell with reality, politically speaking. The Natural Law, the Tao, God’s
Will? Whatever. Politics can’t be based on those now, with pluralism and freedom and all that. Most
people are nice and leave you alone. We still have the power to vote and go to Church. Little did we know
that in a few short years, reality itself would be taken from us and replaced with a counterfeit, a “concept
of existence” of a few psychopaths imposed on the intimacies of our lives, with most of us embracing the
counterfeit without hesitation and without even knowing it. D.C. Schinder articulates the pre-covid
mindset:
The absence of any social quality in truth leads to a peculiar dialectic in our relationship to
our convictions. On the one hand, we affirm them with an odd detachment, a 'self-irony,'
such as Vattimo advocates, and which may not even be conscious. We don't really believe
anything. On the other hand, whatever attachment we do have becomes absolute, because it
is unreflected and immediate, i.e., not mediated by reason. In this respect, the conviction has
the essential form of fanaticism, an emotional attachment that is immune to all reasoning.
There is thus no incompatibility between half-hearted irony and fanatical conviction; these
can reinforce each other, produce each other in an escalating way, turn immediately into each
other, and even in some sense exist at once in the same mind. The tolerance that is expressly
embraced as an ideal by the modern West therefore fosters at the same time an ethos of
irrational violence. This ethos strangely increases at the very time that any apparent 'conflict'
is neutralized; no one is denying you the right to hold it as true that leaves are green, and
even to declare this publicly—under certain conditions: as long as, when you say, 'true,' you
do not mean that anyone else would have any obligation to accept it against his arbitrary
will.27
But this is all over. We are no longer ironic about our beliefs. And if we have a strong emotional and
rigid conviction, it is not because we are fanatical but because we are grounded in reality. And we are
indeed being denied the right to hold it as true that grass is green, but in this case:

● That masks don’t protect you from a virus.
● That it is a form of mass torture to lock down the economy and mandate face-mask wearing and
social distancing of healthy people.
● That a “case” indicated by a medically non-diagnostic test doesn’t mean you are sick or
contagious with anything.
● That a “casedemic” is not a pandemic.
● That experimental, untested injections are dangerous, have shown to be injurious and fatal to
many, and should never be mandated.
● That many people are dropping dead in the streets—and athletic fields, and newsrooms, and in
their sleep.
● That there was no state of emergency due to “Covid-19” but that there is one due to the
injections.
● That we are in a state of global totalitarianism based upon deliberate, malicious, and coordinated
lies.
● That “the science” is a code word for insane propaganda.
● That everyone in power is lying

We are fighting to the death now for the right, not to define reality, but to reality itself. Pre-Covid,
when, as good post-modern liberals, we lusted after the right to define reality for ourselves, we
inadvertently gave that right to the most powerful, cruel, and ruthless, to corporations and states and
media, and finally to the evilest human beings ever to live on God’s green earth. And they proceeded to
define reality for everyone else. Let us never go back to our vomit, but press on in the knowledge that
God alone matters and God alone is Ultimate Reality. If we know this, we will love God and our
neighbor, and heaven will come. Maranatha.

The Unforgivable Sin
Woe to you that call evil good, and good evil: that put darkness for light, and light for
darkness: that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter. (Isa. 5:20)
The evils that have been caused by the plandemic satanists are unprecedented and catastrophic. Reiner
Fuellmich and Vladimir Zelenko, just to name two of the most prominent, have made a powerful case that
the plandemic is the greatest crime against humanity ever committed, and there can be no doubt of this. In
terms of human carnage and societal, cultural, political, and economic destruction, nothing in history
comes close to the scale of this genocide, and I fear after two years of it, we are still only at the beginning.
We must add to this the psychological devastation of billions of brainwashed, abused, degraded, and
dehumanized persons, most of which will never recover absent a miracle of grace. And the mass trauma
and terror that has been inflicted upon the world’s children is simply unspeakable—to say that we will
have a mental health crisis in a decade or less is beyond understatement. It is already the case that our
world has become a gigantic insane asylum, and what it will be like when these traumatized children
grow up is unimaginable.

But physical, societal, and psychological evils are not the worst ones, for they do not necessarily have
eternal consequences, and they can be, by the power of God’s grace, occasions for spiritual growth,
intimacy with the Crucified Lord, and redemption. They are not sins, though they can be caused by and
lead to them. Not so with the spiritual evil at the heart of the plandemic, an evil that Our Lord Himself
deemed to be unforgivable and unredeemable precisely because it is unrepentant and unrepentable sin.

Many are calling these unspeakable evils and crimes good, and the resistance to them and the goods
that they are attacking evil. It’s good that more people died from the lockdowns than of Covid-19. It’s
good that we wear medically useless masks that harm health and dehumanize us. It’s good that we must
give up our long-held sacred personal rights at the behest of an elite of billionaire psychopaths who are
intent on our enslavement, a la The Hunger Games and The Matrix. It’s good to inject yourself and your
children with a poison spike protein that is aimed to sterilize, maim, and kill you, either short or long
term. It’s good to censor and deplatform credentialed experts and only allow a narrative created by
professional propagandists at the behest of Big Pharma and globalist oligarchs and eugenicists. It’s good
to demonize and ban effective anti-viral treatments that could have saved the lives of millions. It’s evil to
obey the truth and one’s conscience instead of harmful and malicious elite dictates. It’s evil to think that
there are any values higher than bare life and health. It’s evil to distrust officialdom even though it has
shown its criminal nature. It’s evil to value the soul more than the body. It’s evil to love one’s country
and its traditions.

What this all amounts to is, as Hannah Arendt put it, a “contempt for reality and factuality.” But this is
ultimately hatred of God, who is ultimate reality and Truth. To call good evil and evil good is to hate
reality and thus to hate God. This hatred is the essence of totalitarianism, and insofar as you consent to its
lies and the hatred of Logos that they express, you are guilty of it:
Arendt:
While the totalitarian regimes are thus resolutely and cynically emptying the world of the
only thing that makes sense to the utilitarian expectations of common sense, they impose
upon it at the same time a kind of supersense which the ideologies actually always meant
when they pretended to have found the key to history or the solution to the riddles of the
universe. Over and above the senselessness of totalitarian society is enthroned the ridiculous
supersense of its ideological superstition. Ideologies are harmless, uncritical, and arbitrary
opinions only as long as they are not believed in seriously. Once their claim to total validity

45
 is taken literally they become the nuclei of logical systems in which, as in the systems of
paranoiacs, everything follows comprehensibly and even compulsorily once the first premise
is accepted. The insanity of such systems lies not only in their first premise but in the very
logicality with which they are constructed. The curious logicality of all isms, their simple-
minded trust in the salvation value of stubborn devotion without regard for specific, varying
factors, already harbors the first germs of totalitarian contempt for reality and factuality. 28
In the Gospel, Jesus casts out a demon from a man who was brought to him. When the Pharisees saw
this, they accused Jesus of doing the act of exorcism by the power of the devil. In other words, they
judged Jesus’s act to be an evil one, even though they knew it to be a good one. It was a knowing hatred
of truth and goodness, pure malice. This is the ultimate blasphemy, the sin against the Holy Spirit, and it
is the one sin that cannot be forgiven because as long as one is knowingly and willingly intent on calling
good evil and evil good, repentance, and thus salvation, is impossible. Damnation, not suffering, sickness,
or death, is the greatest evil, for it is the eternal loss of God, the eternal union with Whom is the purpose
of everyone’s life.
There are parallels to the unforgivable sin of calling good evil and evil good, which is to say, the
malicious hatred and rejection of the Real, which is the Good, in the IXXI event. It was the anti-John-the-
Baptist to the Antichrist that is now present in the world. If you believed the official story, you received a
great reward in terms of the goods of this world and fallen human nature: social solidarity, self-
righteousness, and a clear and simple object upon which to assuage existential anxiety, unholy anger, and
neighbor hatred. If you disbelieved the “box-cutter-wielding terrorists” narrative, you were cast into the
outer darkness—“Either you’re with us or with the terrorists.” Allow me to quote at length from the
scholar of Rene Girard, James Alison:
As we were sucked in, so we were fascinated. The "tremendum et fascinosum," as Otto
described the old sacred, took hold of us. Furthermore, we did not come to the spectacle with
fresh eyes, as to something entirely new. We came with a script given us by a thousand
movies and conspiracy novels of the Robert Ludlum / Tom Clancy genre. . . And
immediately the old sacred worked its magic: we found ourselves being sucked in to a sacred
center, one where a meaningless act had created a vacuum of meaning, and we found
ourselves giving meaning to it. All over London I found that friends had stopped work,
offices were closing down, everyone was glued to the screen. In short, there had appeared,
suddenly, a holy day. Not what we mean by a holiday, a day of rest, but an older form of
holiday, a being sucked out of our ordinary lives in order to participate in a sacred and
sacrificial centre so kindly set up for us by the meaningless suicides.
And immediately the sacrificial center began to generate the sort of reactions that sacrificial
centers are supposed to generate: a feeling of unanimity and grief. Let me make a parenthesis
here. I am not referring to the immediate reactions of those actually involved — rescue
services, relatives, friends, whose form of being drawn in was as a response to an emergency
and a family tragedy. I am referring to the rest of us. There took hold of an enormous number
of us a feeling of being pulled in, being somehow involved, as though it was part of our
lives. Phrases began to appear to the effect that "We're all Americans now" — a purely
fictitious feeling for most of us. It was staggering to watch the togetherness build up around
the sacred center, quickly consecrated as Ground Zero, a togetherness that would harden
over the coming hours into flag waving, a huge upsurge in religious services and observance,
religious leaders suddenly taken seriously, candles, shrines, prayers, all the accoutrements of
the religion of death. The de facto President fumbling at first, a moment of genuinely
humble, banal, humanity, then getting his High Priestly act together by preaching revenge at
an Episcopal Eucharist. The Queen "getting right" what she "got wrong" last time there was

28

46
 a similar outbreak of sacred contagion around an iconic cadaver, by having the American
National Anthem played at Buckingham Palace.
And there was the grief. How we enjoy grief. It makes us feel good, and innocent. This is
what Aristotle meant by catharsis, and it has deeply sinister echoes of dramatic tragedy's
roots in sacrifice. One of the effects of the violent sacred around the sacrificial center is to
make those present feel justified, feel morally good. A counterfactual goodness which
suddenly takes us out of our little betrayals, acts of cowardice, uneasy consciences. And very
quickly of course the unanimity and the grief harden into the militant goodness of those who
have a transcendent object to their lives. And then there are those who are with us and those
who are against us, the beginnings of the suppression of dissent. Quickly people were saying
things like "to think that we used to spend our lives engaged in gossip about celebrities' and
politicians' sexual peccadillos. Now we have been summoned into thinking about the things
that really matter." And beneath the militant goodness, suddenly permission to sack people,
to leak out bad news and so on, things which could take advantage of the unanimity to avoid
reasoned negotiation.
And there was fear. Fear of more to come. Fear that it could be me next time. Fear of flying,
fear of anthrax, fear of certain public buildings and spaces. Fear that the world had changed,
that nothing would ever be the same again. Fear and disorientation in a new world order. Not
an entirely uncomfortable fear, the fear that goes with a satanic show. Part of the glue which
binds us into it. A fear not unrelated to excitement.
What I want to suggest is that most of us fell for it, at some level. We were tempted to be
secretly glad of a chance for a huge outbreak of meaning to transform our humdrum lives, to
feel we belonged to something bigger, more important, with hints of nobility and solidarity.
What I want to suggest is that this, this delight in being given meaning, is satanic. When we
are baptized, we, or our Godparents on our behalf, renounce Satan and all his vain pomps
and empty works. And here we were, sorely tempted at least to find ourselves being sucked
up into believing in just such an empty work and pomp. A huge and splendid show giving
the impression of something creative of meaning, but in fact, a snare and an illusion,
meaning nothing at all, but leaving us prey to revenge and violence, our judgments clouded
by satanic righteousness.29
But IXXI, though a heretofore unmatched act of unreality-creation, performance of ritual scapegoating
and human sacrifice, and institutionalization of a counterfeit religion, was only the dress rehearsal for the
plandemic main event. In IXXI, we were required to believe in its counterfactual reality to obtain
assurance of being one of the good guys, and the moral license to hate our neighbor (if he wasn’t “one of
us”) and worship the state, but it was a quite small, narrowly constructed reality imposed on us, a merely
geopolitical one of evil—middle eastern terrorists and religious fundamentalists—and good—American
power and secularism. It was a cult, but a parochial one. We were still permitted to accept the larger
reality of God, man, and the world, as long as we dutifully believed in and recited this brief chapter of the
globalist’s catechism and offered some incense to its sundry idols. It was more tyranny than
totalitarianism, and if it was totalitarianism, it wasn’t quite total. IXXI established a counterfeit religion of
scapegoating and state-worship,30 but it was not global and catholic, and it was one that could exist
alongside others, even the one revealed by God Himself, as witnessed by the many “conservative”
Catholics who certainly “wanted to kill them over there so they wouldn’t kill us over here,” but didn’t
quite want to lose their souls, though they were okay with a good amount of soul-poisoning. And most
reverted back to the normal Americanism of having God and eating their mammon-cake too, with God
taking a slightly more elevated place, when, after about a decade, the IXXI ritual lost its efficacy.

 If IXXI was the old covenant of Yahweh, provisional and parochial and destined to be fulfilled by the
new eternal and universal covenant of Jesus Christ, the plandemic cult is the eternal covenant with satan, 31
the one, true, and universal religion of the antichrist, the final apocalyse of evil rendering all prior
revelations defunct. Just as the Catholic religion, the plandemic religion is totalitarian in every sense,
geographical, physical, societal, cultural, psychological, and spiritual. The “totalitarianism” of Christ is
the enslavement to the freedom of the Children of God, the absolute love of and obedience to Reality
leading to theosis in this world and eternal happiness in the next. That of the plandemic is the coerced
(but not entirely involunatry) worship of unreality, literally Hell on earth, preparing for and culminating
in the loss of reality for all eternity, which means a soul trapped in its own self-referential consciousness
unable to love either itself or another forever. And its greatest commandment: “Thou shall call good evil
and evil good.”
But the side benefits of obeying this commandment far outweigh the ones of the previous
dispensation. You get to give your entire being over to others and allow them to determine reality for you,
to tell you exactly what you are supposed to think, love, and do, and do not do. You no longer have to
take responsibility for your life, for discovering reality, rejecting its counterfeits, and acting in accordance
with the truth of what you find; you are released from the sacred duty of discovering your unique purpose
in life and directing every thought and action toward fulfilling it. In short, you do not have to be a
creature, and thus you don’t need to fear or love God. And the reward for giving away your soul is just
irresistible: You get to be a god, saying with authority “My Will be Done” by your continual, moment-by-
moment rejection of and blasphemy against the reality that God the Holy Spirit relentlessly communicates
to you in the depths of your soul, and your pious, knowing acceptance of the counterfeit reality that the
propaganda priests of the plandemic communicate to your now mass-formed32 counterfeit self.
To wit: I am told to bring my 5-year old child to the vaccination site to get her booster shot. Deep
down I know I shouldn’t be doing this, because in spite of the propaganda and pressure and virtue-
signaling, I know that I am not being responsible for and with the precious gift given to me by God. But
my false, mass-formed self assures me that I “know” that the shot is safe and effective, that this is the
most moral and responsible and God-pleasing act I could do. My true self, not yet fully eclipsed, knows
with certainty that I don’t know these things to be true, and that the main reason I am doing what I am
doing is fear of men, not God, and that at my core I really don’t want to be responsible for my own
unique interpretation and judgment of reality, that is, I don’t want to be responsible for my soul to God. I
chose and am now continuing to choose to give that responsibility away to others because I no longer
want to live as a responsible creature. I am choosing to continue to obey my false self, the one created by
mass formation, which I know in my heart is evil. The result of my choice is that my child dies the next
day. I could wake up, mourn for weeks, suffer a nervous breakdown, and eventually repent. But I don’t. I
reject the reality of what I did and blame the death on the unvaccinated. I go further into hell—I celebrate
the death of my own child on twitter as a god-pleasing sacrifice to the common good. Damnation is all
but assured at this point absent a miracle of repentance powerful enough to undo the Sin Against the Holy
Spirit.

The plandemic is the greatest evil that has ever been committed, save the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. It
is aimed at causing every human being to maliciously hate the truth and the good, that is, to commit the
sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, to cause damnation, en masse. Absent a miracle of Divine
Intervention, perhaps prompted by prayer, fasting, and a sufficient number of people heroically resisting
it, it will accomplish its aim. If what I am saying is correct, then those who still know that they can and
must seek to know reality for themselves, a duty which Socrates first taught the West, those who still love
reality more than power and self and still accept the God-commanded responsibility to know and love it,
that is, those who worship Truth above all else, must pray every day and harder than ever before to God

for the strength to persevere in our commitment to Reality and Responsibility, and to be given the divine
love to try to help as many as possible to wake up (if they are basically innocent victims of the mass
brainwashing, and there seems to be many of these), or to repent (if they are not so innocent). For this is
truly a pandemic of sin, the heart of which is the hatred of Reality, and the virus is the sin against the
Holy Spirit, untreatable and incurable because unforgivable.

Why is God Allowing this Hell on Earth?

“He scared the hell out of me!” There is nothing more frightening than hell, and that’s because heaven
is the perfect opposite, the fullness of love, which casts out all fear. God’s greatest desire is for all the
men He created and will create to be in Heaven with Him for eternity, and His greatest sorrow is for any
of them to end up in Hell, in eternal separation from Him, in a state of perpetual fear, as well as anger and
sadness, the three basic emotions evoked by the presence or expectation of evil. So, God, using
demonically possessed billionaires and power-intoxicated psychopaths, is now literally scaring the hell
out of people by allowing hell to incarnate itself in a last ditch effort to save them. It’s working for some,
with the terrifying emerging totalitarianism waking them up from their habitual neglect of God and their
souls. Others, however, mostly establishment professionals and bureaucrats, are embracing hell for the
diabolical and sadistic pleasures it affords—torturing, bullying, and scapegoating. And the rest, the herd
of compliant sheep, are trading their priceless and unrepeatable gift of life, with all its depths of drama,
responsibility, meaning, purpose, mystery, and adventure, for an infantilized life of safety and mindless
obedience and conformity, willingly enslaving thereby both their bodies, minds, and spirits to the most
evil human beings ever to exist on earth.

I for one am not going to question God’s providential judgment that allowing psychopaths and
satanists to create hell on earth, with all the unspeakable horrors we have already witnessed during the
past two years and those even worse to come, is necessary for their and our salvation, as well as His glory
and inexorable Judgment. It seems to me that God is presenting us with a foretaste, not of the beatific
vision, but of the miserific vision, as a kind of pre-death trial to see where our hearts are. How many
people in the world actually love God? I hope I’m one of them.
I am a religious person, devout even, and was before the plandemic, but I am not sure how well I was
doing pre-plandemic, and how well I would have done if hell didn’t emerge in March of 2020. I surely
did not recognize how complacent I was about my own life, the preciousness of every moment and the
dramatic significance of every thought and action. I am much less complacent now. I did not recognize
then how precious everyone around me was, how each conversation could be the last. I took for granted
my freedom to live as I pleased, and even though I tried to live according to God’s will, I was not doing
this with the urgency and diligence and humility God requires.

When they came out (when the world was still sane), I watched the Lord of the Rings movies with
great enjoyment but also gravity, both yearning and fearing to be caught up in such a cataclysmic drama
of good vs. evil, and perhaps being a main protagonist in it. And I read then much end-times theology and
apocalyptic literature with an analogous seriousness and thrill. But unless it actually happened, the Great
Tribulation, I mean, unless I was forced into it, as it were, I don’t think I would have ever had the
magnanimity and courage to seek out the kind of trying circumstances and perilous drama necessary to
achieve heroic virtue. I would have been quite content with safe vicarious counterfeits.

What I am trying to say is that for us who recognize that Saruman and Sauron and the vast army of
orcs are now at the gates—indeed, they are past them— the time we are now living in is a great gift from
God, one of both judgment, mercy, and opportunity. By putting us at the center of Mordor—and perhaps
even Tolkien didn’t describe with sufficient depth the evil we are now facing—He is all-but forcing us to
be saints, whether it be of the warrior, healer, teacher, leader, encourager, or victim kind. What God is
doing with the others who seem now to be aligned with Mordor (Many of these call themselves
Christians) whether knowingly or not, is His business. Our job is to try to save them if we can, to pick up

51
the pieces of their ruined lives if and when they wake up, and to fight the enemies of all that is good, true,
and beautiful with the courage of Hobbits.

The Government Hates You

Once is enough, trial is alone

Grace fall into us
All through the night
Father, I crawled
Sun of my soul, be revealed
Walking amongst the stones from the sky
Feeling their rhythm wash over me
Rite of this waring god
Destructive, alive, frees you now
Rivers of fear, don't you know?
Vigil of faith stills you now
You've been shown over and over, don't you know?
You've been shown over and over, don't you know?
—Neurosis, “Stones from the Sky”

John Waters has written a masterpiece. Astounding it is how many diverse strands of analysis—
geopolitical, economic, historical, cultural, sociological, psychological, philosophical, theological—
Waters’ seamlessly weaves together, articulated with unmatched grace and eloquence. And above all,
Waters is prophetic. His penetrating analysis of the present situation is all to the purpose of warning us of
what most certainly is to come:
It is exceedingly likely that, in addition to the risks of hyperinflation, within a few months,
the chief currencies of the free world will, without exception, become subject to outright
collapse, which means that the savings of citizens will become worthless. This will affect
virtually all existing currencies, including the dollar, the pound sterling and the euro. In the
unlikely event that anything remains in the wake of this meltdown, this is likely to be subject
to governmental ‘bail-ins,’ which is to say that any remaining financial assets will be liable
to partial or total confiscation. A global digital currency is planned but, leaving aside the
myriad other problems and dangers arising from this, the chances of any future compensation
of citizens under such a system are unpromising.
Right now, it is as though nothing like this could possibly be imminent, since it is receiving
either negligible or extremely opaque or misleading coverage in the legacy media.
Throughout our lives, we have become accustomed to a more or less honest press, which we
have felt able to rely upon to alert us in times of danger. This press was by no means perfect
— it was afflicted by manifold financial compromises and ideological corruptions. But never
in the history of Western civilisation have we before been threatened by anything remotely
like what is coming without as much as a murmur from the Fourth Estates of our nations and
societies, to prepare us to defend our own and our families’ lives. 
The absence of a warning, as we must surely know by now, offers no reassurance
whatsoever. The dog-not-barking has been sedated and muzzled. Though expected to
continue paying for these corrupted platforms, we must look elsewhere to discover and
confirm the truth. Moreover, we need to be watchful for the new role of the old ‘Fourth
Estate,’ which resides in deflecting us from any kind of certainty or even awareness of what

52
 is really happening.  We most certainly need to take notive of and override the insinuated
scorn that is one of the modern media’s core products: the rejection as ‘conspiracy theory’ of
everything and anything that does not fit the prescribed Narrative.
For the past two years, these tendencies have destroyed innumerable businesses and cost
millions of lives. To be waylaid by the same voices now will almost certainly prove fatal to
the very civilisation we have hitherto felt able to take for granted.  
The world, including the former ‘free world,’ faces a calamity of existential proportions, and
it will accelerate rapidly from the very near future. To describe this in factual terms is to
invite the incredulity of most of those who may hear or read it described. It does not seem
possible that those upon whom we have depended to protect our societies, our economic
welfare, our lives and our well-being, could possibly not be warning us in the event that
some such catastrophe is now imminent. That, after all, is the very definition of their
function, and arguably the whole of their necessary purpose. But that is precisely what is
occurring.
Let us state things straightforwardly:  The world, including the former ‘civilised’ world, now
faces shortages of essential products that are likely to lead to widespread hunger, hardship,
and very possibly starvation, and death. The flashpoints are the most critical conceivable:
food and fuel. Moreover, there is every reason to believe that these shortages are being
deliberately engineered to achieve something akin to that outcome.
The upshot is that the ongoing war of the Luciferian .0001% elite against the entire present and future
global population is about to enter the final phase, in which those who are not mass-murdered by
injections and starvation will be turned into their (literally) mechanized, soulless slaves. Imagine a
synthesis of Brave New World, 1984, The Matrix, and The Hunger Games. The scamdemic was the
initiation ritual into their demonic psychopathic fantasies, implemented by force and fraud, and seduction,
on the global population. What’s coming is the full liturgy, ending with the arrival of a posthuman world:
Where the Combine of 2022 plans to take us has the appearance, superficially at least, of
something like a neo-feudal world, but is more complex than that. The lockdowns were in a
sense predictive of the future in the context of the enforced idleness they imposed upon the
human race by virtue of the insinuated fear of death arising from a deadly virus. This was, in
part, a rehearsal for a world without conventional work. In the early stages of the
post-‘pandemic’ world, this model will become part of a trial in which the world’s
populations will be invited to consume without producing, to see if it is possible, in practice,
to create an economy that operates on a more or less totally mechanised process of
production, with a consumer base comprising idle, unproductive consumers who simply
spend the money which is skimmed off the top of the transactional wealth accumulation
process so that it may serve this manufactured economic model while ensuring that the
totality of the world’s wealth and tokens gravitates to and remains within the control of the
oligarchs. The objective is not power for the purposes of enrichment, but the other way
around: money as the instrument of total power.
Their plan is that the many must submit themselves as instruments of the few — the ‘elite’
which has finally stepped up to sit on the throne recently presumed to have been vacated by
the deity. Physically indistinguishable from the rest of mankind, the ‘few’ plan to maintain
their dominion by the usurpation of earthbound power, having accumulated most of the
earth’s resources so as to leave the majority of men disempowered and bereft, while bribing
a sufficiency of willing collaborators and traitors to defend themselves from any possible
rebellion.

53
 The super-rich have never wanted to share the planet with those who merely struggled to get
by and wished for nothing other than the means to do so and be let alone to do it. They most
certainly do not want to share the planet with those they have made poor, and might — some
of them anyway — be inclined to seek revenge.
We had displeased our ‘betters,’ who now become our new ‘creators’ — both by our unclean
natures and our desire selfishly to exploit the resources of the earth, as we claimed God had
permitted us to do. The escalating numbers of the human race as a whole had, in the
estimation of the elites, threatened to leave an insufficiency for themselves. The self-
proclaimed gods had become alien and hostile to man, desiring all things to be theirs. More
precisely, we had outlived our usefulness, for very soon technology would deliver the few of
the need to have the many around them. The harmony between the people and the hidden
elites had suddenly revealed itself as fictional. Man, as he stands, even at his best, is of
limited use to the ‘few’. When it comes to doing what is to be done, technology is more
malleable, cheaper, more efficient, adaptable. And technology shows no inclination to rebel.
In these circumstances, there has arisen a clear and urgent need to absorb the bulk of the
human population into the mechanistic realm, to make them, in effect — and in no sense
metaphorically — parts of the machine.
Honestly, I don’t know to handle this. I’d like to stop it. I don’t know how to do that. I don’t think it
can be stopped. I’d like to prepare for it. I don’t know how to do that. I don’t think it’s possible to prepare
for it. It’s like putting your head between your legs and hiding under your desk at school in case the bomb
is dropped, or like wearing a mask, nothing but psychological and emotional theatre. But Waters insists
that this plan is bound to fail because both it and its orchestrators are out of touch with reality, and reality
always wins in the end. That it is failing and must fail will be made abundantly clear soon, Waters tells
us, but not before “they will have completely dismantled the world as it was.” 

One must read Waters and other godly conduits of reality whom God has raised up for us at this time
to understand what is happening, not because understanding it means we can stop it, but first and
foremost because understanding is the key to being in touch with reality, even if the reality we are in
touch with is the unreality of evil—we are obliged as creatures to inhabit reality by knowledge and love
of the truth, for no other reason than that it is the Truth. God is Truth. Period. Second, understanding,
particularly understanding how things are on the ground, as it were, can protect us from unconsciously
abetting the evil through ignorance and imprudence. We can have the best speculative and practical
formation in the liberal arts, philosophy, theology, spirituality, etc., along with a good moral character and
will, but if we are ignorant to what is happening right in front of us and the conspirators who are doing it,
either due to the unavoidable contagion of massive propaganda and social enginering, or because we have
our head in the sand or up someone or groups you-know-what, or both, then we, at best, cannot act
effecitvely for the good, and at worst, our actions will contribute to the evil against which we are
intending to fight.
We must pray, suffer, read, inquire, research, observe, listen, understand, and then act, personally,
culturally, socially, politically, legally, and, if need be, coercively and militarily, but always in, by, and
with God’s love flowing through us, in the truth. But it may very well be that what we are experiencing is
a real chastisement from God, and perhaps the final one to purge the world before the promised Era of
Peace. And if this is so, though our grace-inspired acts may mitigate the chastisements, they will still
come, and many will suffer tremendous hardships, including those who in God’s eyes do not deserve
them.

As I have opined in other essays, IXXI, the Scamdemic, and now the Ukrainsane are essentially
counterfeit religions, cults aping the one true religion of Catholicism. They have everything our hearts
desire: infallible doctrines, sacraments, rituals, friends, community in the “truth,” moral prescriptions and
proscriptions, saints, an eschaton, sacred awe and fear—and for our fallen hearts, enemies and scapegoats.

54
These are prepatory for the ultimate counterfeit religion of the Antichrist, who, I think, is coming very
soon. So, so, so many people have embraced these cults, while thinking they are still members in good
standing of their previous religions, and being in complete denial that they have willingly initiated
themselves into satanic worship. What this amounts to is a final judgment before the Final Judgment. It is
akin to the scene in Homer’s Odyssey in which the evil suitors, right before they are all dispatched in a
bloodbath by Odysseus and his son Telemachos, are sitting at table ready to feast:
Pallas Athena roused them all to laughter, with no sense of control. She unhinged their
minds, so the laughing from their mouths came from an alien source, and the meat they ate
became blood-spattered. Their eyes filled up with tears. All their hearts were filled with
thoughts of lamentation.
Right after this public premonition and revelation of their imminent doom, they go back to their
feasting as if nothing had happened. They are shown their fate and guilt, for a moment, like a last-ditch
effort of mercy granted to them by Athena to repent of their ways and avoid their doom:
Then godlike Theoclymenus addressed them all:                                
 “O you miserable men, what troubles
are you feeling now? Your heads, your faces,
your lower limbs are shrouded in the night.
You’re on fire with grief, faces wet with tears,
fine pedestals and walls have gobs of blood,
the porch is full of ghosts, so is the yard—
ghosts rushing in the dark to Erebus.
Up in the sky the sun has disappeared—
an evil mist is shrouding everything.”
Theoclymenus said these words. But they all laughed,                     
enjoying themselves at his expense.
Oh you miserable men, with your filthy masks on, suffocating and cowering in fear, begging for the
next suicidal command, giving your arm to the poison elixir and your souls to demon-men, cheering the
slaughter of innocents by the Nazis you love to hate, offering your babies and children to be murdered in
body and soul by Moloch-Gates-Fauci-Schwab, celebrating your enslavement, degradaton, and
dehumnization—all just to get a vitual and socially-distanced pat on the back from your fellow slaves and
slavemasters—”You’re a good person!”

But Jesus says: “Do you really want this? I am showing you now what it looks like to reject me
and my Lordship. It means being tortured and mocked and ruled by cruel, malicious, vampiric demons.
There is no other alternative. My yoke is easy and my burden is light, and you will have rest for your
souls. Yes, but you must renounce your desire to be praised and accepted by corrupt men. You will be
scorned and ridiculed and persecuted by them, but it’s worth it, I tell you. I am the truth. If you want
something other than truth, you can have it, I permit you, but I will make it clear exactly what you are
choosing. You are choosing Hell. The whole world will celebrate and praise you as a saint, but I won’t.
And that’s all that matters, for I am the Truth. And you will know, and I will make sure of this, in the
back of your mind, that everything they are saying is a lie. I am giving you this chance, now, to see what
it really means to reject me, and giving you the chance to reject this rejection, but after this grace, you
will note able to choose Truth.”

Pre-plandemic and pre-Ukrainsane, so, so, so many people, including Church-going Christians, had
already rejected Christ by doing their “good” deeds so people could see and praise them, but caring
nothing for God’s eye and approval. This is the essence of liberalism. It was so easy to get away with this
Phariseeism in the past, but God is no longer allowing it.

55
 “If you reject the Beatitudes and Christ’s easy yoke and light burden of absolute integrity and
humility, doing all for my pleasure and no one else’s, and instead embrace the counterfeit God of the
Beast of Virtual-signaling Prestige, the hatred of all personal responsibility for your own precious soul,
the Luciferian will-to-power and non-serviam of postmodern bourgeoise therapeuticism—the lukewarm I
will vomit from my mouth!—you have chosen hell over heaven, right now, and this will be your eternity.

“I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that I have set before you life and death,
blessing and curse; therefore choose life, that you and your descendants may live.”
This is what Waters is teaching us. Listen. Listen. And Obey God.

A Catechism of Sanity

As we are forced to don masks of submission and humiliation, the enemies of freedom, human
flourishing, and all that is true, good, and beautiful are unmasking themselves, as their diabolical beliefs
and criminal intentions become increasingly explicit and obvious. We can now see that we are the victims
of the greatest mass-causality/mass-trauma crime and hoax in all human history, and the crime is ongoing,
with no end in sight—due to a virus with a 99.7% survival rate.
Though they are attacking our physical bodies, their ultimate target is our minds and souls, and their
main weapon is trauma and fear-based mind control. And there is only one invincible shield against fear,
and that is love, for, as St. John teaches us, “Perfect love casts out all fear.” But we cannot love what and
whom we do not know, and that is why they want above all to deprive us of the Truth, the truth about
who we are, why we are on this earth, and the reality of our loving Creator. They want us all to exist
within a counterfeit kingdom of their technological construction, in which we are all their willing slaves
and hosts, instead of the kingdom that God has made, in which we are all called to be His children and co-
heirs. To help us withstand the onslaught of lies, and the fear that always accompanies and cloaks them,
we need to be grounded in the Truth about reality and ourselves.
All the major wisdom and religious traditions of the world agree in and are grounded upon the
following set of philosophical and theological truths, though they express them differently according to
their historical, cultural, conceptual, imaginative, and linguistic particularities. These are the fundamental
truths of logos, that is, the metaphysical, moral, and spiritual order of the universe, accessible to human
reason and perfected in the Divine Revelation of Jesus Christ. They comprise an indispensable bulwark
and shield against the enemies of logos that are now engaged in an all-scale attack on human life.

Spiritual/Theological Truths
● The universe did not make itself, as it is not a necessary being. Thus, it must have been the
creation of an omnipotent, omniscient, eternal God. Indeed, reality itself is continually being
created and sustained in existence, moment-by-moment, by this God, who, being perfect, is
infinite love and perfect happiness. Every moment, event, and circumstance of our lives is an
ongoing gift of this God to us out of his infinite gratuitousness.
● God created human beings in His divine image to know, love, and serve Him because in doing so
we participate and share in His infinite divinity and perfect happiness, and His loving will for
every human being He has created is to share in His Divinity. Since God is eternal, such
participation for us means eternal life with and in Him, beginning now and continuing forever
after we die. 
● We cannot know, love, and serve Him without His assistance because we are born with an
ineradicable tendency to selfishness, separateness, and disobedience, rooted in pride and
ignorance. Thus, prayer in all its forms—vocal, mental, meditative, silent, communal, liturgical,
through which we access this assistance, is the most important and essential human activity. 
● Knowledge and love of God make us like Him, and since He is love itself, love of neighbor flows
inevitably from our growing likeness to Him. If we do are not loving our neighbor to the best of
our ability, it means we are rejecting our likeness to God and our creaturely obligation.
● Both human reason and Divine Faith allow every human being to recognize Jesus Christ as the
only possible human incarnation of the God described above.

Metaphysical Truths
● All that exists is good because being itself is good, as well as true and beautiful.
● The universe as a whole, as well as every part of it, is purposeful and intelligent, being made by a
purposeful and intelligent creator. 

57
 ● Evil exists, but it is parasitical—it has no independent being. It is a real absence of a real good
that should exist but doesn’t due to deliberately bad human choices.
● Human beings can become evil in their souls due to deliberate, knowing, choices against the
Good and their morally informed consciences. If they persist in these choices and do not repent of
them, they will be punished for them in both this and the next life.
● Reality is more than mere matter, for it includes immutable, immaterial substantial form and
eternal spirit. Matter doesn’t exist without the unchanging form that gives it definite essence and
existence. Form doesn’t exist without matter, or at least some level of potency, as in the angels.
● Human beings are comprised of matter, form, and spirit, or, using different terms, body and soul.
We are neither souls nor bodies alone, but soul and body syntheses or composites.
● Death is the separation of our body and soul, but since the soul is one and indivisible, it is
immortal. 
● All men by nature desire to know, and for the sake of knowing, since it is in knowing, loving, and
acting in accordance with the Truth that men find their perfection and happiness.
● The human intellect can distinguish between what appears, on the one hand, and what is, on the
other, that is, between opinion and knowledge. Thus, Truth exists and can be known as such.
● Truth is the conformity of our minds to reality (through human reason), and our minds to the
mind of God (through prayer and the gift of Faith).
● All human actions are determined by thought and will (practical reason), which is the conformity
of the intellect to the truth about the Good, and conformity of rational desire (the will) to right
Reason.  
● We are obliged by natural law to love and do good and to hate and avoid evil, and therefore we
must be able to know the difference between good and evil, objectively and absolutely.
● The human intellect can grasp universal truth, and it can know essences and the causes of things.  
● The attainment of Wisdom, not power or pleasure, is the purpose of our knowing. Wisdom is the
loving knowledge of the most important truths about God and the universe accompanied by an
inclination of the will to live and act in accordance with them.
● Knowing and loving in the natural, created order should prepare and dispose the mind for
supernatural, mystical knowing and loving in supernatural, divine order.

Moral and Political Truths

● The human person is inherently good; therefore, he must never be treated by other humans as a
means but only as an end.
● Men are social and political animals; thus, they find their perfection and happiness and good with
each other in political community.
● The purpose of political community is to secure the material, moral, and spiritual conditions in
which human being can thrive and flourish, and humans thrive and flourish through virtuous
activity and contemplation of God.
● The natural law, which is the set of moral laws that govern the universe ordered to human good,
happiness and perfection, is a higher authority than the political law, and thus both leaders and
citizens must act in accordance with it as its inexorable subjects.
● Since human laws must be ordered to the human good and be in accordance with the natural law,
when they are not, citizens are under no obligation to obey them.
● Just as human persons owe in justice obedience to and worship of God, so too do human persons
in community, including the political community; thus, a godless political community is unjust
and evil. 
● If the political community, with its laws, institutions, economic structures, and cultural norms, is
not ordered to the natural law and to God, it will necessarily become tyrannical and totalitarian,
for it will exalt man’s will over God’s will, human law over the natural law, and lies over truth.
Both history and political ethics prove this.

58
 ● The moral obligation to worship and follow God according to our consciences, and thus the
freedom to do so, is part of the natural and divine law; thus, the State must not only do anything
to hinder the exercise of this freedom, but it should also assist citizens in fulfilling this
obligation. 

The New World Order that is emerging from and through the Covid-hoax, a Dis-Order of technocratic,
totalitarian rule, a globalist hunger-games economy of hundreds of masters and billions of slaves, and
incessant and endless trauma-based mind control, must be resisted at all costs, for it is the attempt to set
up an anti-logos system based upon a rejection of reality. I have tried to articulate this reality in the above
set of principles. With these truths as a guide, and with Jesus Christ as our invincible strength, let us shut
down the shutdown, unmask the masks, and neutralize the new normal.

Foucault was Right
Our life remains
A process of guilt and obfuscation
And it stays the same
No closer to the deeper truths
And further from a divine light

We rode on wings, baring our souls / Into the night

Leaving scattered remnants of self / When the stars fall
We fell from the sky / The depths went black
And with a blink / The lesser wind
Stood and teetered on the chasm's brink / Submitting to the darkness

And grey, and black and nothingness

We form a line, from there to here
Hoping to find our way back
—Minsk, “Within and Without”
“There is no power relation without the correlative constitution of a field of knowledge, nor
any knowledge that does not presuppose and constitute at the same time power relations.”
“...it's my hypothesis that the individual is not a pre-given entity which is seized on by the
exercise of power. The individual, with his identity and characteristics, is the product of a
relation of power exercised over bodies, multiplicities, movements, desires, forces.”
—Michel Foucault

Michele Foucault was committed to the “truth” that discourse is nothing but the surreptitiously
coercive use of power, and the more hidden the power, the more effective the coercion. The power hiding
behind claims to truth is so all-pervasive and effective that the very person who speaks and listens to
discourse is itself its product and mouthpiece. The conviction that I am an individual person with agency
and freedom and knowledge before I am influenced by words and the power hiding behind them is itself a
mask of power, as is the “individual” himself.

Nevertheless, Foucault used his non-agency over several decades trying to expose the powers hiding
behind discourse systems and working to fight them. What if he were to win? To replace them with what?
The truth? But there is no such thing—-it’s only power. Foucault was right, though, if we confine his
claim to the kind of discourse, and the institutions, society, and culture in which it is exercised, that has
been thoroughly corrupted. For, the pure purpose of words is to discover and communicate reality,
whether in a declarative, optative, interrogative, or exclamatory mode, as an act of love of God and
neighbor, with self-effacing worship being the highest form of speech. When words are used against their
pure purpose, such as to communicate unreality to gain power over another, this is the corruption of
words, and when it becomes habitual and institutionalized, it evinces precisely the characteristics
Foucault describes. Josef Pieper:
Whoever speaks to another person--not simply, we presume, in spontaneous conversation but
using well-considered words, and whoever in so doing is explicitly not committed to the
truth-—whoever, in other words, is in this guided by something other than the truth—such a
person, from that moment on, no longer considers the other as partner, as equal. In fact, he

60
 no longer respects the other as a human person. From that moment on, to be precise, all
conversation ceases; all dialogue and all communication come to an end.
Public discourse, the moment it becomes basically neutralized with regard to a strict standard
of truth, stands by its nature ready to serve as an instrument in the hands of any ruler to
pursue all kinds of power schemes.
2020 was the inauguration of the global institutionalization of the corruption of discourse, and the
Plandemic was its inaugural event. Domestic terrorism by the government (shutting down businesses,
imprisoning the healthy, imposing the wearing of oxygen-depleting masks, etc.) and the deliberate
democide of the world’s population through a mandatory poison injection were successfully translated
into the discourse of “public health.” And in case there were still some leftover non-corrupted elements of
discourse lying around, as well as to reinforce the mass corruption to irreversible levels, in 2022 they held
the second inauguration in Ukraine, wherein supporting a literal Nazi genocide of Russian-speaking
Ukrainians was successfully translated into “fighting for freedom.” In the meantime, self-mutilation
became gender-freedom, conditioning children to tolerate and even desire being molested, inclusive
curriculum, and let’s not forget the less-recent transformation of child-murder into reproductive health
and elderly-murder into death with dignity.

The global program of discourse corruption was a top-down agenda, orchestrated by the elites of
technology, corporations, intelligence, media, finance, medicine, science, academia, as well as the various
alphabet-soup agencies of global control (WEF, NIH, CIA, WHO, FDA, CDC, etc.), the multitude of
satanic foundations and thinktanks (Rockefeller, Council on Foreign Relations), and let’s not leave out
the City of London, the Zionists, and the Freemasons. But it couldn’t have been as successful as it was
without the cooperation of first the lower-tier rulers of discourse in the professions, business, religion, the
arts, entertainment, education, tech industry, media, government bureaucracy, and management, and then
the rest of us ordinary people, who used to be called the unwashed masses, but should now be called the
brainwashed masses.
I am not writing this for the psychopaths and those confirmed in wickedness at the source of this
malevolent fountain of language corruption, the die-hard Foucaltians in both theory and practice. And I
am not writing for their lower-tier cooperators, those whose talents and vocations have put them in
positions of cultural influence, but whose cowardice, venality, vanity, spite, envy, sloth, hypocrisy, virtue-
signaling, faux-compassion, ambition, and overall worldliness has lead them to complicity in deception
and slander for what they can get personally and career-wise. In Catholic circles, these types are legion on
both the “right,” neocons, and the “left,” “progressives”—what binds them together is their worship of
state power. These are so immersed in the corrupt discourse and so good at making the best of it that they
wouldn’t know how to live outside of it, and they don’t want to.

Rather, I am writing to and for those of you aware of this corruption, for the most part at least, and are
more victims than agents of this corruption, but who, due to the power and subtleness of this corruption,
could too easily become agents—it is to help us avoid both victimage and complicity, and to empower us
to unmask and destroy the corruption, that I write.

If you are still reading this, then it means that you hate the supreme evil of using language to
manipulate and gain power, and would rather die than committ it. The first thing I want to say is that if
you are indeed committed to using language as God intended it to be used, as an instrument of love, in the
present climate, and it’s only getting worse, you are going to be hated, persecuted, gaslighted, mocked,
canceled, scapegoated, driven to insanity (if you let them), and, in the not too distant future, murdered—
many of those most dangerous to the lie-regime have indeed been murdered since the Plandemic began,
and it has been happening at an exponential rate since Plandemic II, the Ukrainsane. But it seems to me
that the violence will eventually spread to anyone committed to the truth and unwilling to hide this
commitment.

61
 The second important thing is that though we have this commitment to truth above power, the
corruption is so pervasive and insidious that we are inevitably tainted with it, meaning that there are
beliefs and judgments we are used to holding and asserting as true that are actually just vectors of power
relations put into our minds by hidden manipulation and brainwashing. What those are in particular are
for you to discover, but they are there. Pray and be quiet, watch and observe, inquire and doubt, read
outside your comfort zone, accept the suffering of cognitive dissonance and the loss of some social
relations and worldly securities that will come when you recognize and renounce what Pierre Grimes has
called the pathologoi in your soul.

Thirdly, it is imperative to find others to talk to and be with that are committed to truth over power,
and I mean actually committed, not just claiming to be or having the standard beliefs of someone who is
committed. I can’t tell you how many Catholic, conservative, anti-postmodern, truth-believers I have met
that are Foucaultian to the core in practice. And don’t get me started about “orthodox Catholic colleges”
and certain kinds of homeschooling families with, say, more than four children and who decry what they
call “rock music” (post-rock too?) and wives having their own wills. It’s as if they think their attendance
at an ancient liturgy and the number of children they have will hide or justify their pathetic power-
worship and love of manipulation and image over love and reality. It’s hard to find the good souls, but if
they are present to you when you talk to them, and you really feel their presence, and if they are willing to
suffer for you, when no one is looking, that’s some sure signs of their commitment.

Finally, take heart in the fact that God loves and protects those who refuse to put power over truth,
because this means you desire Heaven, and His will, approval, and presence, more than anything else, and
this makes Him happy.

The Will to Truth

Seeing God everywhere and all things upheld by Him is not a matter of sanctity,
but of plain sanity, because God IS everywhere and all things are upheld by Him.
What we do about it may be sanctity; but merely seeing it is sanity. To overlook God's
presence is not simply to be irreligious; it is a kind of insanity, like overlooking anything else
that is actually there.
—Frank Sheed, Theology and Sanity

The Will to Truth, which is to tempt us to many a hazardous enterprise, the famous
Truthfulness of which all philosophers have hitherto spoken with respect, what questions has
this Will to Truth not laid before us! What strange, perplexing, questionable questions! It is

63
 already a long story; yet it seems as if it were hardly commenced. Is it any wonder if we at
last grow distrustful, lose patience, and turn impatiently away? That this Sphinx teaches us at
last to ask questions ourselves? WHO is it really that puts questions to us here? WHAT
really is this "Will to Truth" in us? In fact we made a long halt at the question as to the origin
of this Will--until at last we came to an absolute standstill before a yet more fundamental
question. We inquired about the VALUE of this Will. Granted that we want the truth: WHY
NOT RATHER untruth? And uncertainty? Even ignorance? The problem of the value of
truth presented itself before us--or was it we who presented ourselves before the problem?
Which of us is the Oedipus here? Which the Sphinx? It would seem to be a rendezvous of
questions and notes of interrogation. And could it be believed that it at last seems to us as if
the problem had never been propounded before, as if we were the first to discern it, get a
sight of it, and RISK RAISING it? For there is risk in raising it, perhaps there is no greater
risk.
—Frederick Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil

Why not untruth? I mean, it is a live option. We can know something to be true, and at the same time
act like it isn’t, can we not? We can accept two opposing claims to be true, if we just  want to. Nobody is
stopping anyone. We can believe something knowing it’s not true, sort of, or disbelieve something
knowing it to be true, to some extent. In short, we can disobey truth and we can obey untruth. We  can do
it. So, why not do it? Nietzsche wondered about this, specifically, why truth was privileged and deemed a
non-negotiable and exclusive starting point in thinking and discourse. This was the case for his late-
nineteenth-century Germans, and further back, since the time of Plato, when the latter invented the fateful
and, for Nietzsche, foolish and servile and emasculating and dishonest distinction between appearance
and reality, between the shadows of untruth and the Sun of truth, between the Good and what only
appears to us as such.

The obvious one-word answer to Nietzsche’s question is insanity. Lying is knowing the truth about
something but saying otherwise. The liar cares about the truth, but only for himself. But insanity is not
caring about the truth at all, even for oneself. It is a sort of dedication, willing or otherwise, to untruth. To
even pose the question, “Why not untruth,” is to flirt with insanity, to begin walking down the path that
leads to it. It is tantamount to saying, “Why not insanity,” because sanity or mental health is secured and
sustained through one’s dedication to reality, and truth is the conformity of the mind to reality. Being
dedicated to something other and more than truth, then, is both an indication and cause of mental illness.
M. Scott Peck:
Mental health is a dedication to reality at all costs; and mental illness occurs when the
conscious will of the individual substantially deviates from the will of God, which is his or
her own unconscious will. We attempt to defend our consciousness, our awareness, against
reality.  We do this by a variety of means which psychiatrists call defense mechanisms.  All
of us employ such defenses, thereby limiting our awareness.  If in our laziness and fear of
suffering we massively defend our awareness, then it will come to pass that our
understanding of the world will bear little or no relation to reality. Although our conscious
mind has denied reality, our unconscious which is omniscient, knows the true score and
attempts to help us out by stimulating, through symptom formation, our conscious mind to
the awareness that something is wrong.  In other words, the painful and unwanted symptoms
of mental illness are manifestations of grace.  They are products of a powerful force,
originating outside the consciousness which nurtures our spiritual growth.

64
 Nietzsche was the first philosopher to pose seriously the question, “Why not untruth,” and to be taken
seriously as a philosopher for doing so. The fact that he eventually went insane and never recovered is
suggestive. Hamlet’s question, “To be or not to be?” is an equivalent interrogative sign of imminent
insanity. Your and my existence is a gift we did not give ourselves, and it is one that we can’t unreceive.
It simply is. There was once a “not to be” for us before we existed, but not after. To pose the possibility of
“not being” as if we could make this possibility a reality is to move into unrealty, mental illness, insanity.

What prevents the vast majority of people from seriously entertaining this question, and living it out is
the loving grace of God, keeping us in reality by making us suffer pain when we depart from it, like the
pain we receive from touching a hot stove from which our mother may choose one time not to protect us
so the lesson is firmly learned, never to be forgotten. We all depart from reality, particularly
moral reality, from time to time and to some extent whenever we choose a lesser good over a higher
good, when we lie or believe a lie knowing it’s a lie, when we seek to gain unjustly, when we act self-
interestedly when duty-bound to care for another, etc. Internally, we suffer interior guilt for such actions,
and if we repeatedly ignore or repress or rationalize the guilt, we suffer some level of mental illness.
Externally, we suffer the moral opprobrium of friends and society when we trespass against the law and
moral norms and customs. If we rebel against and resent this external pressure and punishment, we may
be put in jail or otherwise ostracized by family, friends, and society at large. All this pain and suffering is,
as Peck says, for our spiritual growth: “God chastises those He loves.”

Truth is the good of the intellect, and that’s why Dante tells us that all those in the Inferno have lost
the good of the intellect. To ask, “why not untruth” is thus to ask, “Why not evil,” since truth and
goodness are equivalent, as are untruth and evil. In seeking an answer to this question, one is seeking the
truth, the good of one’s intellect, so one cannot really ask this question honestly and earnestly. Is it akin
for me to claim right now, “I am not writing,” as I write this sentence. “Why not untruth” is not a question
posed to the intellect but an attack on the intellect, and so an attack on truth and reality. To even ask this
question seriously and earnetly is to sin against the truth, against reality itself. It is thus to dedicate
oneself to unreality, which is the definition of insanity, more specifically, moral and spiritual insanity.
One would hope that, internally, God, working through what Peck calls the omniscient unconscious or
what is more plainly called guilt, and, externally, society and culture through its laws, norms, customs,
and other pressures and coercive punishments, will inflict enough merciful and just pain on those who are
tempted to ask this question and thus dedicate themselves to unreality to prevent them from doing so, and
on those who have already gone down this path, to wake them up to repentance and metanoia.

But what if not just a few insane weirdos but a whole population were to ask this anti-question, being
seduced into doing so by a corrupt education and culture, and even brainwashed into doing so by trauma-
based mind control, terror-ritual induced scapegoating, and mass formation? And what if the cultural
elites and their toadies were relentlessly and ubiquitously to promote and endorse and celebrate such
questioning, denigrating, punishing and marginalizing those who don’t or won’t ask it? This, of course, is
not hypothetical. The internal defense mechanisms that usually protect the soul against consistently acting
against reality are completely corrupted now, as the psychopaths who have no such internal guides have
created a global pathocracy in their own image. Every institution from medicine to academia to
journalism to politics is now fully predatorial and tyrannical, serving only itself and the elites at the
expense of the good of those it is supposed to serve. It’s worse than this. These institutions are now
systematically intended to maim and paralyze and kill, physically and spiritually, and feed off those who
remain, keeping them barely alive. Everything is vampiric and parasitic now. Add to this the
psychological damage of incessant propaganda rendering unreality reality to perception and imagination,
the intellectual damage of ideological indoctrination replacing liberal education and common sense and
tradition, the moral damage of immersion in a culture in rebellion against the Tao, particularly in sexual
matters, and the spiritual damage of a Church in full apostasy, with its leader baptizing deadly injections
as sacraments of the love of neighbor, destroying by deliberate confusion the salvific doctrines and

65
sacraments of the Faith, and offering up the Mystical Body of Christ to the globalist Luciferians, such as
Schwab and Gates, to use as they see fit. Not to mention the hordes of treasonous leftist Marxist
intellectuals, who identify as Catholic but are nothing but white-washed tombs of hypocrisy and filth,
serving as willing mouthpieces and maskers of the Luciferian Great Reset propaganda, from the LGBTQ
agenda of normalizing pedophilia, to the plandemic agenda of mass brainwashing and medical and
financial enslavement, to the “sustainable development” agenda of .00001 propertied and 99.9999 (of
whomever is left after they attempt to redue the world population to 500 million) propertyless.

How is the ordinary twenty-first-century secular person, not God-fearing, well-catechized, liberally
educated, virtuous, etc., so say the least, supposed to save his soul, let alone remain immune from these
evils and thus avoid the temptation to commit his life to untruth? All the rewards and blandishments are
there for the taking if you do, and hell is unleashed upon you if you don’t. Insane people have always
considered themselves the sane ones, and psychopaths see their elite club as the superior breed, but they
didn’t get to impose their judgments on the sane and the moral. Now they do, and they have. The insane
question in Nietzsche’s day was “why not untruth” because truth was the default existential position. The
fact that Nietzsche even received a public hearing for his question indicates that things then were not
good. And soon after that, the question would lose all its shock value. But it took a century and a half for
untruth to become the default and only position, with even the spark of consciousness of any alternative
extinguished in the collective consciousness. The result of Nietzsche’s question eventually infecting the
consciousness of mankind, plus a global propaganda campaign made possible by a level of technology
and malice never before seen in human history, has not only been the global reign of untruth, but the
spiritual lobotomization of the masses such that the question of truth, let alone it’s unimpeachable and
nonnegotiable authority, is no longer posed. We all seem to be in Plato’s Cave now, but without anyone
to break our chains.

But God is here, and He knows what’s happening, and He is allowing it. He can stop it in a nano-
second. But He needs to test us, and this is the final exam. He is asking, “Do you love me” every time we
are confronted with propaganda, every time we are pressured to act against truth, every time we have a
choice to act to gain the praise of others at the expense of our integrity and what we know to be true,
every time we are tempted to ignore the warnings of others, to accept a narrative before assessing it
because it makes our lives more comfortable to believe and promote it, to indulge in the self-
righteousness of scapegoating. For, to put anything, however much it seems “necessary” or “prudent” or
“caring,” or “progressive,” above the truth in our thought and speech, and above the spiritual good of
others and ourselves in our action, is to tell Jesus that you do not love Him, and he takes our answer quite
seriously.

We can tell Jesus we love him, and perhaps that’s all we can do at this time. I think it’s good enough.

Don’t Consent
In order to understand fully what Man’s power over Nature, and therefore the power of some
men over other men, really means, we must picture the race extended in time from the date
of its emergence to that of its extinction. Each generation exercises power over its
successors: and each, in so far as it modifies the environment bequeathed to it [by
technology] and rebels against tradition [especially by moral Subjectivism], resists and limits
the power of its predecessors. This modifies the picture which is sometimes painted of a
progressive emancipation from tradition and a progressive control of natural processes
resulting in a continual increase of human power. In reality, of course, if any one age [ours?
the twenty-first century?] really attains, by eugenics and scientific education, the power to
make its descendants what it pleases, all men who live after it are the patients of that power.
They are weaker, not stronger; for though we may have put wonderful machines in their
hands we have pre-ordained how they are to use them. And if, as is almost certain, the age
which had thus attained maximum power over posterity were also the age most emancipated
from tradition, it would be engaged in reducing the power of its predecessors almost as
drastically as that of its successors. . . . The real picture is that of one dominant age . . . which
resists all previous ages most successfully and dominates all subsequent ages most
irresistibly, and thus is the real master of the human species. But even within this master
generation (itself an infinitesimal minority of the species) the power will be exercised by a
minority smaller still. Man’s conquest of Nature, if the dreams of some scientific planners
are realized, means the rule of a few hundreds of men over billions upon billions of men. . . .
   The final stage is come when Man by eugenics, by pre-natal conditioning, and by an
education and propaganda based on a perfect applied psychology, has obtained full
control over himself. Human nature will be the last part of Nature to surrender to
Man. . . .
   But the situation to which we must look forward will be novel in two respects. In the
first place, the power will be enormously increased. . . . The second difference is even
more important. In the older systems both the kind of man the teachers wished to produce
and their motives for producing him were prescribed by the Tao—a norm to which the
teachers themselves were subject and from which they claimed no liberty to depart. They
did not cut men to some pattern they had chosen. They handed on what they had
received; they initiated the young neophyte into the mystery of humanity which
overarched him and them alike. It was but old birds teaching young birds to fly. This will
be changed. Values are now mere natural phenomena. Judgements of value are to be
produced in the pupil as part of the conditioning. Whatever Tao there is will be the
product, not the motive, of education.
   . . . Simple-minded critics may ask Why should you suppose they [the Conditioners]
will be such bad men?’ But I am not supposing them to be bad men. They are, rather, not
men (in the old sense) at all. . . . Stepping outside the they have stepped into the void. Nor
are their subjects necessarily unhappy men. [Remember Brave New They are not men at
all: they are artifacts. Man’s final conquest has proved to be the abolition of Man.

Every second brings us closer to death, and thus eternity. Stop reading and say that word. Say it again.
Consider its meaning. Consider a never-ending state of being, either never-ending bliss, peace, and joy, or
never-ending misery, frustration, and torture. Eternity begins right now, in this and every moment, and we
are here undergoing this and all the moments allotted to us to decide, now and especially in our very last
moment on earth, what our eternity will be like. God created us to live with Him, one with Him in an
unimaginable intimacy, forever, and that forever-intimacy begins now, at this moment, if we want it to.
Otherwise, we begin to live in hell, right now, at this moment, by separating ourselves from God through
sin, and getting ourselves used to such separation so that when we end up in Hell, it will be no surprise,
though we will be drowned in futile regret, relentless sorrow, and impotent rage for all eternity; indeed,
we will become nothing but this.

I preface my essay with this because I want to put into perspective the evil we are facing and fighting.
IXXI, the plandemic, and the Ukraininsane were and are mass-psychological, mass-terror operations
created and orchestrated by a very small group of very evil and/or totally psychopathic people, enabled by
another slightly larger group of somewhat evil and/or psychopathically susceptible people, and given
mass-energy by a large group of cowardly, physical and psychological comfort-idolatrous people. Mass
death and destruction, and eventually, total enslavement, were and are the main goals of the planners, as
well as the demons—I mean, literal demons—inciting and energizing and empowering them. They have
been largely successful in inflicting unprecedented and unspeakable death and destruction, and the
enslavement process is well underway. But as my words at the outset suggest, there is a worse evil than
these: “And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy
both soul and body in hell” (Matthew 10:28). Now, not even Klaus Schwab can do this, but only God, so
we should fear only unrepentant disobedience to His will, which is the only action that can put us in hell.
And this action is caused by knowing and willing consent to grave evil, to mortal sin.

Those who blew up the buildings on IXXI, created the Sars-Cov2 virus and the graphene-oxide
spikeshot, and who are now trying to destroy Russia, the world economy, and provoke a nuclear
holocaust (not sure how many, if any, of these people can take credit for all three) are happy with all the
death and destruction they have caused and will continue to cause—absent a global mass resistance and
Divine Intervention. They are even happier, I suppose, and most definitely surprised with the level of

68
totalitarian physical and mental control they have gained over the global populace through their
monstrous lies. But what Mr. Global or GlobalCap or the Pathocrats (to use the terms of Catherine Fitts,
C.J. Hopkins, and Andrzej Łobaczewski respectively) truly want, and this desire of theirs comes directly
from the demons they worship, is for us to become like them, to become evil, and for this, they need to do
more than merely kill and enslave us. They need to get us to sin, and their chief strategy for this, which
they also learned from Satan, is to get us to consent to the evil they are doing to us, that is, to make us, in
effect, inflict the evil on ourselves. They want us above all to do this knowing it is evil, knowing that it is
evil being done to us, evil that we are, in turn, doing to others, and evil we are doing to ourselves.

Now, how can they do this? Well, obviously they lie—and they lie constantly and always—and their
lies need to be believed by the vast majority in order to have the power to murder, destroy, and enslave.
They also need us to internalize the lies and construe them as the truth, to accept and live in their
constructed reality, the new normal. This is, of course, the result of brainwashing, and they do this
through relentless, ubiquitous, and sophisticated propaganda and trauma-based mind control. But when a
person has internalized the commands of his oppressors and, say, voluntarily wears a medically useless
mask and takes a poisonous injection after being put into a state of psychosis through mass-formation, the
evil he inflicts upon himself is not voluntary. He is literally out of his mind and does not know what he is
doing. Similarly with the evil that infected people through IXXI (the evils of scapegoating, wars of
aggression, and idolatry), and is infecting people through the Ukraininsane. Add to IXXI’s evils the
unhinged hatred of Putin—and I’m not saying he’s a good guy—and all things Russian, the siding with
actual Nazis which, as several credible news reports have shown, are using Russian-speaking Ukrainians
as human shields and blaming Russians for their atrocities (again, I’m not saying the Russian army isn’t
also doing evil), and the enabling through this hatred and complicity the real possibility of a nuclear
holocaust.

These are plainly the evil, self-and-other destructive actions of brainwashed people, unwitting dupes
and useful idiots of the knowing wicked who are pulling their strings. Such evils, directly or indirectly,
kill, destroy, and enslave on a massive scale but they won’t land someone in hell unless consented to. And
in order to consent to these evils, we must know that they are evil, and choose to believe and do them
anyway. So, the only means by which they can get us to consent to these and all the evils they are
planning is to bring us in on the lies, as it were. They must make the truth of the evil available to us, even
broadcast it to us to some extent, but not so much as to reveal it plainly so that we reject it. And this is
precisely what they have done and are doing now.

The absurdity of the official “eighteen hijackers” story of IXXI, the insanity of asymptomatic
transmission of a virus and treating healthy people as sick and contagious, the obvious medical
uselessness and harm of masks and lockdowns, the clear danger and irrationality of taking an untested
experimental injection that doesn’t prevent infection or spread, the mass deaths that are now occurring
because of the injections all over the globe, hidden in plain sight, and the fact that the US and NATO are
supporting actual nazis, along with a Jewish president who also supports them, engaging in war crimes
against Ukrainian civilians (with Facebook now “approving” of posts that support these nazis)—these are
all examples of the “truth-giving” propaganda I am talking about. And I don’t think all this is just an
unintentional mishap by incompetent propagandists. When someone is confronted with these truths, and
he still “believes” the propaganda and does the grave evils to himself and others that it instructs him to
do, it may be that he is too far gone to see the truth, a complete victim of brainwashing and so no longer
culpable for believing the lies and doing the evil directed by him because he actually believes them to be
true and the actions good, and his ignorance is not entirely or seriously culpable.
But it might very well be that he both believes and doesn’t believe the propaganda, both knows and
doesn’t know that they are lies, both judges and doesn’t judge that the actions he is doing and plans to do
are good. In other words, could it be that this person has consented to the evil, and is simply lying to
himself and others? Could it be his “ignorance” is more feigned than real, the result of culpable

69
ignorance? Are there people who have actually asked and answered Nietzsche’s question: "Why Truth?
Why not rather untruth?” Are there people who actually don’t believe the IXXI, or Covid, or Ukrain
propaganda to be true, since truth is no longer a category of their reality, but believe and obey it anyway?

I am thinking that there may be more of these people than we suspect, and if so, we are seeing the
ultimate success of the Enemy. I am not sure how to help people like this, people who, at best, are so
worn out and despairful from two years of hell that they are now knowingly and willingly consenting to
evil out of sheer exhaustion and lack of courage and self-respect, and at worst, have decided for untruth,
other than to keep telling the truth in love, to warn against the wages of sin and encourage them not to
give up, and to invite them into a relationship with the God who is Truth and Love, and who loves them
so much he was willing to be tortured and murdered for them. Let us consent to this Love by never
consenting to any lie or evil, no matter what. Eternity is at stake.

—Meshuggah, “Broken Cog”
Know also this, that, in the last days, shall come dangerous times.  Men shall be lovers of
themselves, covetous, haughty, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful,
wicked, Without affection, without peace, slanderers, incontinent, unmerciful, without
kindness, Traitors, stubborn, puffed up, and lovers of pleasures more than of God:  Having
an appearance indeed of godliness, but denying the power thereof. Now these avoid.
—2 Timothy: 3
I was thinking about what the past two years, including the present Ukrainsane, means, what are
we really encountering here, what exactly is being revealed to us, what is at the heart of it all?

And the word that kept coming to me was manipulation. We have all experienced manipulation in our
personal lives, and it is the worst of traumas. A child never suspects being manipulated by those he trusts,
and the first time it happens, it is a great fall, a catastrophe, for it is a deep wound to love. Her whole
world becomes dark and menacing, and here begins the possibility of a life of suspicion and self-
protection, where manipulation becomes the lingua franca, and she must manipulate first, more
cunningly, more ruthlessly, and always so as not to be manipulated by others into a state of perpetual
weakness and slavery. Or one could just escape into oneself in loveless isolation. If the love of others
doesn’t come to his rescue, these are the paths that will be taken, and love dies in his soul. How many
have taken one or the other of these paths, and perhaps don’t even realize it or what caused it. I think it’s
a very large number. The scamdemic and Ukrainsane have exacerbated this already endemic trauma to
pathological levels.

Public discourse now is pure manipulation, pure lovelessness, where what is claimed as fact, just,
right, good, and true is simply the will of the ruling class member, what he wants you to think is fact, just,
right, good, and true. And the Masters of Discourse are not content with simply lying to you, for this is
low-level stuff. They seek to put you in a state where the only reality you experience, nay, want to
experience, is the one they make for you. Postmodernism told us that all narratives and claims to truth are
just the expressions of human will, with the ones now predominating the expression of the strongest.
Knowing this “truth,” we are enabled to resist and deconstruct the “master discourses,” and thus escape
the mass-manipulation to maintain our autonomy and freedom. But what if we choose instead to embrace
the manipulation, learning to love it and the power or control it seems to bring us? We may never become
one of the elite masters of discourse, but we can be great fanboys!—we can show ourselves to be their
good and faithful servants! Great rewards in this. We can always be the ones who point the accusing
finger, with it never pointed at us.

I think this is the stage that most people are now at. Incessant and relentless propaganda, scapegoating,
gaslighting, and domestic terrorism and torture—in other words, the scamdemic—has led to mass
Stockholm Syndrome, among other pathologies of the soul. The real abusers are celebrated and defended
with affection and love, and we go on to verbally and mentally abuse through manipulation those in our
communities and sub-communities, whether in-person or virtual, in imitation of the manipulative
discourse that has victimized and corrupted us. And just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, here
comes the Ukrainsane by which the Masters of Discourse have superboosted the manipulation pandemic
to neverbeforeseen and heretofore unimaginable levels.
When one comes to realize just how toxic the discourse is today, and how much it has possessed
everyone, including ourselves, it is natural to want to avoid it, and only associate with and talk to those
we still trust not to manipulate us. These are becoming fewer and farther between. It is a miracle now just
to have members of one’s own family, let alone one’s religion or workplace, who are not manipulative.

72
And this manipulation plague is more contagious than any virus. But we must not give in to this
temptation. We must be healed and then serve as models of non-manipulative discourse and deeds so as
to counteract and shine a light on the manipulative mimesis that is taking over the world. And for this, we
need much intimate converse with God, whose love is the model of and medicine for the manipulation
contagion.

When you read the words and actions of Jesus in the Gospels, the love manifested in them is what
makes the greatest impression on our hearts. It is true love, not mere sentiment (niceness) or tolerance or
empathy or pushoverness, because it is grounded in truth. But in light of the foregoing, the opposite of
love in words and deeds, and especially words, is not so much hate, for this can be caused by love, or
even indifference, for this can be caused by mental illness or mere distraction, but manipulation. If you
think about it, the last word you would ever think of describing Jesus Christ as is manipulative. His
intentions always match his actions, his actions always match his words, his words always match his
thoughts, and his thoughts, words, actions, and intentions are never self-serving. In every encounter, He is
focused purely, intensely, and entirely on the good of the other, even at the expense of His own reputation
and life. Manipulation is the complete opposite—always self-serving, even at the expense of another’s
good, sometimes at the expense of his immortal soul.

Jesus will cure us, and through us the world, from the spiritual disease of manipulation. Let us go forth
in truth and love, even if it means a journey to the Cross. “Let your yes be yes, and your no be no.”

 17
A Pandemic of Disobedience

God permits fallen angels and men to do evil for His greater glory, and so that He can bring more good
to men and the world than would have been possible without it. God is like that. There is no exception to
this truth, even when the evil is the unspeakable and incalculable and unfathomable evil of the plandemic.
Does it get more evil than this?

But what good could He bring to the world from His allowance of an elite of the demonically
possessed, the psychopathic, the morally depraved, and the worshippers of Satan—some are all four—to
commit the greatest crime against humanity in history, a global democide not just of bodies but of souls,
aimed at manipulating every person on earth to commit the Unforgivable Sin. And, spiritually speaking,
what could be worse than the visible leader of the Church founded by the Second Person of the Blessed

74
Trinity promoting this satanic idolatry and mass formation as the epitome of Christian love, while
mocking and denigrating those courageous and good souls who, obeying the Holy Spirit, won’t bow
down before this monstrous medical Moloch?
The truth is that there is nor can be nothing worse than this, except for what the future portends, absent
Divine Intervention, which is the ever-increasing unfolding and metastasization of this unprecedented evil
in scope, intensity, and depth. If this is correct, then the good that God plans to bring out of this evil, and
is already beginning to do, must be the greatest good since the Incarnation, Death, Resurrection, and
Ascension of the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity, which was itself preceded by the greatest evil ever
committed by man, the deliberate murder of God. What could this second-greatest Good be, and how
might it come about?

The murder of Jesus Christ, the first greatest evil, was the attempt to kill the God-man Himself, which
succeeded—then failed. That failure brought about the greatest good, the descent of the Holy Spirit on
earth and the institution of the Mystical Body of Christ on earth, for now the presence of God, which once
existed only in the body and soul of a Jewish carpenter in Palestine, now living in Heaven, could
potentially inhabit the souls of all men, through Baptism, until the end of time. What brought about this
new greatest good was the perfect obedience to God’s will of one human being, Mary, and what brought
about the greatest evil was the perfect disobedience to God’s will of a group of people chosen from
eternity and prepared especially by God to receive this gift. Of course, the evil was not exclusive to them,
for as the Church has always maintained, all men in a mystical way were complicit in the murder of Jesus
Christ, every time we commit sin.

And the same is true of the next-greatest evil in the history of humanity, the plandemic—we are all in
some way responsible for it. Every act of cowardice, untruth, malice, idolatry, hypocrisy, betrayal—all
have contributed to and caused the living hell we are undergoing. Some, of course, are more responsible
than others, just as in the time of Jesus, and God will hold those in positions of authority and power,
especially spiritual power, such as the Pope and the Bishops, much more accountable than the man in the
street. But of all the sins that have led to the plandemic, one seems to me to be at the core of it, the sin of
disobedience. And if this is true, then the plandemic will end through obedience, an obedience that will
put an end to the Hell on earth we have incarnated and bring about the greatest possible good, the reign of
God on earth as it is in heaven.

Those who planned the plandemic, I think, are beyond the reach of God’s mercy, for they acted with a
level of knowing malice that is damnable. If God chooses to grant them the grace of repentance, they are
free to accept it, but honestly, I can’t think of any scenario in which they would. When Jesus cried out to
His Father from the cross, “Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do,” St. Thomas Aquinas
tells us that Jesus was not referring to the Pharisees and Sadducees who wanted Him crucified, for, as it is
clear from the New Testament, they knew precisely what they were doing and whom they were
crucifying. It also seems to me that the great majority of media, academia, medical, pharmaceutical, tech,
law, and government elites (particularly mask-loving board members of schools and public health officers
of upper-middle-class cities) are probably in the same spiritual boat as the ultra-elite of the WEF, Big
Pharma, WHO, CDC, NIH, FDA, Central Banks, etc. Their disobedience to God and the Tao seems quite
knowingly malicious, and as the truth about the unspeakable crimes they have done, especially to
children, becomes more clear, they only become more firm in their lies and malice and projection.

But the rest of us, either those who never bought into any of it, those who did, compromised with evil,
but saw the light and repented, and those who from the beginning until now have obeyed the True and the
Good, are still savable. For our disobedience was not out of diabolical malice, but fear or greed or mass
formation psychosis, or perhaps just apathy, laziness, or stupidity. We are being called by God now to
practice the supernatural virtue of obedience to a heroic degree, for we must repair and undo the countless
infidelities and lies-to-self of others and ourselves that we have committed in the past, and we must attain

75
to a new level of obedience to put an end to this nightmare once and for all. If we do so, God will give us
literally heaven on earth, something He has been waiting to do for 2000 years.

Here’s what the disobedience of the vast majority of human beings on the planet looks like: I suspect
that there is no law requiring masks, but I’ll wear one because I am being told to do so, and I love
obeying false authority, especially when so many others are doing it with me, because it means I don’t
have to obey the Truth that discomforts me. I suspect that viruses are too small for masks to work, which
someone told me once, but I’ll believe an expert who says otherwise anyway, because I will be
considered a loving person by my fellow teachers. I suspect that my child will be harmed by wearing a
mask, but I just don’t want to homeschool her, so I’ll go along with the narrative. I know that I am in
charge of the schools in my area and my duty is to the good of families and children, but I am bring given
a lot of money to mandate masks and experimental injections, so I won’t listen to any position that
contradicts the goodness of masks. I need the money. I am pretty sure as a doctor that the vaccine isn’t
really a vaccine, and can probably do harm, but I need to keep my license, so I’ll ignore what I know. I
don’t know if the vaccine is harmful or not, but I am not going to look at the evidence because Trump
supporters might be the source of it, and I hate them and need to hate them for some reason. I like
thinking that healthy people are sick because it feels good not to have to obey reality and to have other
people join me in this disobedience, for I can then keep looking at the unreality of porn without feeling
guilty. I like being a priest and telling people to wear masks because I hate telling them to stop sinning
because it reminds me of my own favorite sins that I do not repent of, and so this satisfies my need to feel
like I am a good person and priest. I like being a bishop and telling people that wearing a mask and
getting the vaccine is loving one’s neighbor because I love to spite the real men I have met who actually
love their wives, children, and neighbors, and it is just so satisfying to me in my narcissistic lovelessness
to tear down real men. I know I am supposed to be responsible for my own health, but it’s too scary for
me and takes too much effort, so I just love believing that vaccines are all I need, not because I really
think it’s true, but because I can sort of get away with thinking it’s true. I want to think that I am a good
person more than anything, and wearing a mask and getting the vaccine makes me look and feel like a
good person, and I want this more than I want the Truth about these things as well as myself, and I can
easily exclude any information that suggests I am not a good person for doing these things by canceling,
mocking, and scapegoating “them.” I know I am supposed to uphold my oath to the constitution and
protect the citizens of my county, but no other sheriff is doing this and I can easily get away with just
towing the party line and this will be over soon anyway so I need to just do what I’m doing even though
somethings telling me I’m betraying my office and letting evil occur. But I won’t think about that right
now.

What freedom I have now to do just what I want and not have to obey anything above my will in this
pandemic! I feel like I am in heaven! Praise be Fauci!

But there are also the disobediences of the more righteous among us. Have we done everything we can
do to resist, to know God, to love, to go against our own wills, to be heroically courageous, to get out of
our comfort zones, to put aside those addictions and desires and slothful distractions that keep us from
doing God’s will at every moment? We who know and understand the evil and the good are called to a
higher level of virtue and holiness. Let us pray to God for the courage and love to become embodiments
of truth and reality for others.

This is a pandemic of disobedience to reality, to what one knows or suspects to be true and good, to
love, to God. And God is allowing it “so that the hearts of many will be revealed” both to others and to
ourselves. Before the plandemic, our “little” disobediences to our consciences, to what we knew was true
and good, our willing small hypocrisies and self-serving “white” lies, our putting prestige and image over
the reality of things, our virtue-signaling and sundry idolatries of pleasure, comfort, opinion, image—all
of these didn’t seem to amount to much, didn’t really hurt anyone. But now, it is being revealed, these are

76
causing children, even our own children, to be tortured and murdered, and on a mass scale. Because of
our disobedience, we are literally injecting ourselves with the blood of murdered babies. We are joyfully
enslaving ourselves, with no possibility of liberation, to malicious sadists. We are so in love with
disobeying reality that we would rather have hell on Earth than His gentle rule, “My yoke is easy and my
burden is light.” Well, that’s what we’re getting.

God in His mercy is allowing us to see the true upshot of our little disobediences, each of which
pounds the hammer onto the nails of the cross, and this is why He is allowing Hell to come to us before
we die and live in it eternally, so that we will finally realize what we are doing before it is too late. In the
movie Signs, the protagonist, Preacher Graham Hess, loses his faith in God after his wife dies in a brutal
car accident. Aliens then take over the earth and threaten to destroy it. Nothing can stop it but Hess
repenting of his sin. Yes, one man’s sin of infidelity to God would have caused the whole world to be
destroyed. “When a man lies, he murderes some part of the world.” This plandemic is the global alien
onslaught, and it is our little disobediences to Reality and God that have caused it. It is His mercy that is
allowing this, so that it doesn’t have to become His justice. And if we obey, He will give us the greatest
good.

What does obedience look like and entail? Nothing very special or magnificent or showy. In fact, it is
simply to live the life of failure, in the world’s eyes, which is triumph in God’s eyes. The key to this is the
Beatitudes:
Often, people are wont to refer to someone as "blessed" to highlight a condition of acquired
happiness: "Blessed is he that ...", "Blessed are you that ...”. The beatitudes that we are used
to, however, are very different from those proposed by Jesus! We say blessed are the rich,
because their future is guaranteed, blessed is he who laughs because he does not know
suffering, blessed is the violent person because he is powerful and does what he wants,
blessed are the clever and the unjust because they know the way to success, blessed is the
lustful because he is free and fully enjoys the pleasures of life, blessed is the vengeful person
because he obtains honor, blessed are the persecutors because they will gain the favor of the
powerful and earn rewards, etc. The consciousness of worldly blessedness is based on envy:
lucky him, because he has what I don’t.
But Jesus completely turns this way of life upside down. He not only asks us to climb the
mountain on a weekday, to struggle in order to meet Him in such an unusual place, to sit on
stone, to appear as frivolous, annoying and romantic idealists in the mood for a one-of-a-kind
vacation, but affirms that true blessedness belongs to those who are poor, suffering, meek,
chaste, thirsting for justice, merciful, peacemakers, and persecuted! All people who are
failures. Those who today are considered as failures are those that Jesus calls blessed or to
which He paves the way to blessedness. He asks us to recognize ourselves as failures, to be
such … This is too much! It is certainly a message beyond reason.
Our society (which aside from what we might think we like as it is, otherwise it would be
different) does not propose the Beatitudes of the Gospel to the destitute or the defeated, but
offers three possibilities: to become bad and get away with illegal means, to destroy one’s
true identity by tirelessly searching for therapies to come up with one that works, ready for
any compromise with one’s own conscience, or to remain excluded and die in darkness.
Jesus teaches that in the condition of being last a person can find the first treasure –
acknowledging one’s own nothingness, a blessed state. And so, blessed are the poor in spirit
who know and live this condition by renouncing self-love, blessed are those who mourn and
who know pain and deprivation, blessed are the meek who respond to the abuser or to
offenses with patience and long-suffering, blessed are the merciful who do not take revenge
but become the object of wickedness, blessed are the pure in heart for they consider the other

77
 as an end and never a means causing scandal, blessed are the peacemakers who live in defeat
and whose voice is never heard, blessed are the those who thirst for justice enduring injustice
without committing any, blessed are the persecuted for justice’s sake and in the name of
Christ, who are the stones rejected by the world and the cornerstones.
How to live the beatitudes? Pray to God as much as possible and look inside your soul and listen to
His voice and obey what He calls you to do at every moment according to your state of life and vocation.
And always search for and love the truth. It’s not rocket science. In the Republic, Plato said that justice
was “minding your own business.” I can’t put it better. One indispensable tool for knowing God and what
he wants us to do, which is to live in His will, is silence. Spend 20 to 30 minutes twice a day reciting
lovingly Jesus-Abba in your mind and when your mind gets distracted come back to these words.

Now you wish to empty yourself of all thoughts so that you can be filled with the formless
presence of God - Father, Son and Spirit- the living Trinity that dwells within you. As you
continue in a relaxed manner to breathe deeply in and out, synchronize your breathing with
these two names who are unseen but very really present: Jesus ... Abba. Breathe in deeply
and mentally recite the name and experience the presence of JESUS. Breathe out slowly and
mentally say the name and experience the presence of ABBA. Continue to breathe in slowly
and mentally think of Jesus. Breathe out slowly and mentally think: Abba. Jesus ... Abba ...
Do not be concerned about any thought content. Let the words become for you a way to rivet
your attention and focus your mind so that you can reach a meta-rational state of
concentration that will allow you to listen in a deeply receptive mood to God as He speaks to
you in the utter silence of your body, soul and spirit. This is what it means to pray in the
heart and in the spirit. It is to allow yourself to be filled like an empty receptacle with the
Spirit's gifts of faith, hope and love. I believe this is what St. Paul was referring to when he
told us that our recited prayers are not the highest form of adoration but that it is when we
yield to the Spirit of Jesus and allow Him to pray within us that we pray the best. (Father
Maloney)
I am going to reveal to you the secret of holiness and happiness. Every day for five minutes control
your imagination and close your eyes to the things of sense and your ears to all the noises of the world, in
order to enter into yourself. Then, in the sanctity of your baptized soul (which is the temple of the Holy
Spirit) speak to that Divine Spirit, saying to Him:
O, Holy Spirit, beloved of my soul, ... I adore You.
Enlighten me,
guide me,
strengthen me,
console me.
Tell me what I should do ...
give me Your orders.
I promise to submit myself to all that You desire of me and to accept all that You permit to
happen to me.
Let me only know Your will.
If you do this, your life will flow along happily, serenely and full of consolation, even in the
midst of trials. Grace will be proportioned to the trial, giving you the strength to carry it and
you will arrive at the gate of Paradise, laden with merit. This submission to the Holy Spirit is
the secret of holiness. (Cardinal Mercier)

 IV
Modernity as Apocalypse: Revisited

80
 18
From Apocalypse to the End of the World

Christopher Loughman:  If it’s all right, Dr. Kozinski, I’d like to quote from the introduction of your
book for the sake of anyone unfamiliar with it:
To its devotees, modernity is just the way things really are….  But to those more resistant
and skeptical of its soteriology, modernity is Christendom’s rotting corpse, having been
murdered sometime in the Enlightenment by the sword of de-hellenization, the poison of
nominalization and the stranglehold of secularization.  And modernity has divided up the
body, giving us Christ without the cross, in its liberal-democratic half, and the cross without
Christ, in its totalitarian half.  Modernity is nothing more than a counterfeit of and parasite
on the Mystical Body of Christ.
Can we try teasing some of that out?
Thaddeus Kozinski:  I think I would still agree with most of that.  What we are dealing with now I
don’t think I could have imagined back then—the emergent global totalitarianism.
What I mean by modernity is more the ideology that accompanies public discourse and the way
institutions function—the kind of implicit presuppositions and absolutes and the cult, the religious
background that is inherent in modern life.   What I am trying to do is reject the idea that [modernity] is
just a kind of neutral space where one can freely live any type of life one wants without influence or
conditioning or restrictions.  I see it more as a kind of mood or background—the “imaginary,” to use
Charles Taylor’s language—that has hidden metaphysical, theological, anthropological dogmas and
customs and beliefs.  So we need to be very wary and vigilant in order to detect them.
CL:   Can we talk about how this applies to America?  In section V of your book, entitled
“Apocalypse,” you speculate:
Perhaps Lucifer employed his unimaginably powerful intellect to create and then immerse
himself in an abstract and unreal universe of words—`liberty’ and `equality’ come to mind—
thereby severing himself from the concrete and real being of God.
Now I’m reminded that when Alexis de Tocqueville made his monumental survey of our young
country in 1835, these were the two ideas he saw playing out in conflict here: the two you mentioned.
“equality” and “liberty.”  And that conflict looked to him something like a closed dialectic, it looked to
him something like the whole ballgame.  We see these two ideas roughly manifest today in the camps of
conservatism and small-l liberalism and that battle looks to many as if it’s the whole ballgame.   It’s just
the way things are.
One of the things you seem to be saying is that this conflict is not only not the whole ballgame, but
that it’s a counterfeit conflict delineating a counterfeit reality—and quite possibly something worse.   Is
that fair?
TK:  My main foe is ideology—in the [Eric] Voegelinian sense of it as a kind of gnosticism, a kind of
second reality.  And what I am referring to about Lucifer is the ability of human beings to reject reality by
repairing to abstractions and living life according to unreal universals.  And when that gets
institutionalized and enculturated, you wind up with an ideological culture.  Add to this the technology
and the complex institutions we have, the bureaucratization that takes us away from the ordinary activities
of life, [you wind up with] the imposition of a counterfeit.
[This] counterfeit begins in the minds of philosophes and ends up for the masses being
indistinguishable from the real.  [As for] “liberty” and “equality,” you have opposite sides of the spectrum
using those terms, believing and behaving in the most dramatically antithetical manner.  Ideology serves
the oligarchs, not the public.

81
 CL:  In the same section of the book, you quote David Schindler: “The state cannot avoid affirming,
in the matter of religion, a priority of either `freedom from’ or `freedom for’—and both of these imply a
theology.”  You then go on to say: “By prescinding from the particularity of religious truth in the
organization of the American body politic, the American founders enshrined a theology, a religion.  [And
that] this religion’s first commandment is the first amendment—and it does nothing less than separate the
order of nature from the order of grace, person from faith and, indeed, freedom from truth itself.”
Why do you think it was necessary to the founders that these profound separations occurred?   What
was the point?
TK:  I don’t want to condemn the American Founding simply because of what’s come after it: the
consequences of certain decisions they made out of circumstantial prudence based on the complexities of
geopolitics, etc.  It’s extremely complicated, obviously.  But if you look at something like the First
Amendment:
To set up a constitutional regime and prescind from the order of religion, the supernatural, the reality
of the Catholic Church….
It’s the first time in history that a political order was set up where the cult, the sacred, the transcendent,
the relationship to the divine is put wholly within the political order and, in effect, privatized: you have a
first attempt at an a-religious political order.
CL:  Is it as simple as Madison pitting our privatized belief systems against each other so that, for
instance, the Catholic Church cannot establish hegemony?
TK:  A lot of the Founders were hostile to the Catholic Church.  John Locke, in the Second Treatise of
Government, forbade two types of people from being good citizens in the new kind of commercial
republic: the atheists and the Catholics.  And that’s because he knew that, for a Roman Catholic, political
allegiance and citizenship were bound up with one’s religious identity and the authority of the Church. 
Locke wanted the state to define what religion is and its place in the city.   The state was going to limit
itself and everything outside it.  Whereas in Catholic political theology, it’s not the state’s prerogative to
define the boundaries of church and state, of the secular and the sacred….  It can’t do it.  [The state] can
only do it if it already has an ecclesiology—in this case a Protestantized and deistic one. Locke says:
“Every church is orthodox to itself.”   Meaning that no church has a from-the-inside monopoly on what’s
true in religion.  That statement itself denies the reality and authority of the Catholic Church.
And so, if you have a kind of political order that’s based on this universal statement that there is no
access to God’s will that is an any way objective and authoritative for the public….  [No,] it’s all a private
matter.  You can see the logic.  What that implies.  And what’s going to happen.
CL:  I hate to tell you how old I was when I learned that there was something very specific called
“Americanism” and it was condemned as a heresy by no less than Pope Leo XIII….
TK:  Testem Benevolentiae, yes.
CL:  And I don’t think I’m unique in my ignorance.  Now I had a terrific elementary Catholic school
education, taught by bright, pious, committed nuns….  But the pledge-of-allegiance, you know, was said
with our morning prayers.  And up on the wall behind the good sister, on each side of the crucifix, were
pictures of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln and probably one of our first Catholic president
Kennedy….
So that was the “social imagining,” to use Charles Taylor’s phrase, that we were immersed in.   It all
came at one as of-a-piece.
So, you know, being an American Catholic is…interesting.
TK:  I had a similar awakening shortly after I was married.  I was at a conference with Professor John
Rao and the Dietrich von Hildebrand’s group [The Roman Forum] at Lake Garda and I heard some talks
given on Leo XIII and John Locke.
Before then, I was on my way to becoming a good neoconservative, going to Lord Acton conferences
and the Heritage Foundation and the Philadelphia Society and all these things….
I had never read Leo XIII.  Or if I had, I’d only heard about his economic encyclicals.  I didn’t know
he had written about the Christian constitution of states or on Americanism or on freedom:  Immortale
Dei, Testem Benevolentiae, Longinqua….  The letter to the U.S. bishops where he says the Church has

82
borne good fruit in America simply because it had a certain amount of physical freedom to do its work. 
But, he says, the Church would be better off of it wasn’t dissevered and divorced, as it is in America,
from the state.
A statement like that, from the pope, of course got me thinking: What are the alternatives here?  I
thought theocracy was the kind of outdated, restrictive, repressive sort of state that we’d grown out of. 
But he’s not talking about theocracy.  And he’s not talking about integralism, either.
D.C. Schindler does a great job with integralism: the solution is not to use the centralized,
bureaucratic, Lockean state and import into it Catholic principles.  The solution has to be much more
radical and imaginative and therefore much different.
We see the problem as a kind of religion of Liberalism.  D.C. Schindler has an essay called “What is
Liberalism” in New Polity, and a book called The Politics of the Real, which I think is the best thing
written on this topic.  [He makes the compelling case] that if you want to know what modernity is, what
liberalism is, [you have to ask]: What is it rejecting, most of all?
[The answer is] the Catholic Church.  Not “Christianity.”  Not Christian “values,” Christian
principles.  [It’s rejecting] the reality of the Catholic Church.  What-it-actually-is.
CL:  And does this correspond to [D.C. Schindler’s] explication of the [Lockean] inversion of the
[Aristo-Thomist categories] of potentiality over actuality?
TK:  Yes.  That’s in his first book of the trilogy he’s writing, the first book [being] Freedom
from Reality—that tremendous work on John Locke.
Because what that actuality is—the Catholic actuality—is the tradition that synthesized, once and for
all, the Greek, the Roman, the Hebrew, the Germanic—all the tributaries of the axial age that came
together with Christ.  [The Incarnation] synthesized them all into a living reality, a lived tradition.
And what the Enlightenment represents in liberalism is [an attempt] to access these ingredients—the
Greek sense of the truth and science, the Roman sense of the law and authority, the Jewish understanding
of God’s omnipotence and [man’s] sin….  In Christ all of this is gathered up together.  {And liberalism’s
approach winds up with] Humpty Dumpty.  You can’t separate them out.  Once you try to access [these
components] outside the Church’s tradition they wind up becoming heresies.  They end up becoming
mad.
[And so] liberalism says: the Church and the tradition it embodies—not just intellectually, but morally,
politically, in its economics and sociology, its [complete] living reality….  Liberalism says that it is not
going to recognize this reality in our political order, in our laws and what we consider to be the human
good….  [In its] rejection of reality it has to try to build upon something else.
Schindler says that liberalism has substituted the God of the Catholic Church, the true God, with
“nature and nature’s god.”  Well, what nature is this?  What’s this nature’s god?  It’s a “potential
religion”—it’s pure potency overcoming actuality—which is impossible.  There’s no actual reality to it.
CL:  Is that potency, that prioritization of potentiality….  Are we just talking about pure power at that
point?
TK:  Yeah, I think so.  What makes you say that?
CL:  Well, because ontologically [having bracketed the actual]—that’s what you’re left with.  I think
that’s why we’re steeped in power politics.  Because that’s all that’s left.
TK:  Yeah.  And it’s masked very well.
CL:  It certainly is.
TK:  Well, it’s becoming unmasked now.  My recent articles on Substack deal with what was implicit
in early classical liberalism, [that it’s manifesting now] as this monstrous, arbitrary power, a most
inhumane diabolical dynamic.  People are waking up to it because of the obviousness of it.  And what
they are doing is basically fighting it with old-school assertions of the Tao and simple goodness, the
goodness of mothers and the working man in the street.
People without much higher education are seeing the basic realities.  Because of the great evil we are
undergoing they are recognizing the value of a human person and their ability to make their own
decisions and to be cared for.  When you’re deprived of normal face-to-face conversations and you’re in

83
constant terror—propagandized—people are starting to realize: this is unreality.  They may not put it that
way.  But they are actually demanding that the political order recognize the authority of reality.
When Schindler, for instance, says that liberalism is against reality, that it’s potentiality over actuality,
that liberalism is an all-out assault against the reality of the Catholic Church—what does that look like?  
Well, it looks like what we have today.  It looks like the face of Fauci as savior.
CL: “Catholic” Fauci.
TK: [Laughs] You have someone telling us what to do in our public and private lives who has
engaged in experiments putting monkey’s heads in a tank to be eaten by sandflies or whatever it is….And
he has experimented on human beings in the past, killing many and getting away with it. It’s all in Robert
F. Kennedy, Jr’s recent book The Real Anthony Fauci. He is a psychopathic sadist, but he’s our avuncular
wise and loving man to whom we have given dictatorial authority over reality.
CL:  You brought up the historian Dr. John Rao.  And he said in a recent interview that in a time that
loudly proclaims the separation of church and state as a given, that in fact there has never been greater
unity of church and state but that it’s an ironic if not inverted unity.  And you recently quoted the
theologian Chad Pecknold: “The progressive civic-religious regime is a very dangerous sort of pseudo-
integralism, which is to say, an inverted parody of Christianity.”
Now if this is true, then we are really through the looking glass.
Do you think it’s just a matter of having a seat at the World Economic Forum and that the truth really
doesn’t matter?
TK:  Yeah, that a pretty low level of consciousness. I can’t imagine a lower level of consciousness,
actually, because what it comes down to, as we were saying, is pure power.
Being a person of faith means that you are not governed by pure power.  You are governed by truth
and love.
CL:  You make the distinction between authority and power.  I would think, given his transcendent
concerns, he would be more committed to authority than he would be to pure power.
TK:  Authority being reality.
CL:  Right.
TK:  Schindler says that authority is essentially generosity.  That’s what authority does—it gives
itself, it gives reality, so to speak, so that power can do good work.
To call a literal poison good and to mandate it for children….  And for those people who [refuse to
wear] the satanic sacramental of submission to arbitrary power—the mask—which everyone knows is
medically useless and harmful—I think all this is the elites mocking us, like a diabolical liturgy.
I could use words like “diabolical disorientation” like Lucia at Fatima, we could talk about the
antichrist and the spirit of antichrist, the great delusion, the prophecies of La Sallette and of other
mystics….  But when you are actually living through it, it’s literally incomprehensible.
CL:  Something you maybe thought you would never see in your lifetime—the diabolical
disorientation….
TK:  But the thing that has shocked me most of all—and it’s why we know we’re in a kind of great
tribulation—is the absolute complicity and cowardice of the clergy in shutting down the churches, in
refusing to give the sacraments, and having their churches become “vaccine” sites—This is unimaginable
stuff.
CL:  You just mentioned scapegoating and one of my questions has to do with your interest in Rene
Girard….
One of the more pernicious counterfeits going involves the therapeutic state and the grievance industry
and it centers on the cult of victimization.
In the canon of the mass I attend, the priest references: “…a victim which is pure, a victim which is
holy, a victim which is stainless….”
Now I have an impossible time—and mere cognitive dissonance doesn’t begin to capture it—
reconciling our Lord Jesus Christ with the mass media victim of various sexual and racial stripe that we
are saturated with.

84
 I think you go so far as to identify this manufactured victim as the new dominant oppressor.  Of the
new scapegoat.
TK:  Girard makes a good case that the dynamic of scapegoating is the ultimate counterfeit salvation.  
The feeling you get from scapegoating another is instant self-righteousness in identifying all that is evil in
the accused.  You feel this sense of salvation and purification and you achieve [a type of] solidarity with
your fellow scapegoaters.  So, you have an enemy that you can project upon.
Girard shows that either you are allowing yourself to be the scapegoat—because you are guilty—but
knowing that your Redeemer lives and has been scapegoated before you and therefore you will not be
doomed and that the scapegoaters will not have the last word. The scapegoaters didn’t write the Gospels.
Or you are going to be doing the scapegoating.  There is no neutrality here.
And so what do we have with our culture right now?  It’s obvious that it’s based on self-righteousness
of the most cowardly, idolatrous and hypocritical people—the Covid-cult, the Covidians….  They are
scapegoating those who will not accept this self-justifying community of the irrational—[clearly]
totalitarian.
Now, the Church is supposed to be the one institution that doesn’t do this.  Every other institution will
fall to it.  [And so] it is not only doing it in its most elevated power structures—it’s taking a lead in it.
I don’t think Girard ever witnessed such a thing.  He talks about certain things in the Middle Ages,
when the Church got caught up in a kind of regression: pogroms, torture, etc.  But if Girard were alive
today, I don’t know how he would understand what is happening.
CL:  Your writing is not without some profound approaches to something like solutions.  In a recent
Substack article entitled: “The Only Way to Survive and Defeat the Satanic Plandemic,” you quote
Romano Guardini from The End of the Modern World:” 
“The new age will declare that the secularized facets of Christianity are sentimentalities.” And: “That
the free union of the human person with the Absolute through unconditional freedom will enable the
faithful to stand firm—God-centered—even though placeless and unprotected.”
And while I hope everyone understands the controversies surrounding Karl Rahner, you forward this
arresting quote from him: “The Christian of the future will be a mystic, or he will not be at all.”
Now, we utilitarian Americans are built for something like the opposite of mysticism.  So where does
a typical American, specifically an American Catholic, begin?
TK:  Well, the Catholics don’t have a home anymore in most churches—the ones who are not
Covidians are already being uprooted.  But I have found a place with people I would never have dreamed
I would be relating to in the last two years: new agers, atheists, animal rights people.   [Laughs.]  People
who would normally be on the left, progressivists who have woken up, who feel alone and isolated.   And
we’ve come together in little activist groups against the mass insanity.  People who are trying to love in
the middle of this lovelessness.  It sounds pretty hippie-ish, but it isn’t.  People have been brought to this
position of needing each other.  I see Guardini’s prophecy coming true in ways I never would have
thought when I quoted him.
In terms of mysticism….  To me [it means] being connected to what’s real….  Whatever is the
opposite of being a Covidian.  [Laughter.]
But it’s the life of prayer, mortification, the cross.  I think it is also recognizing with Guardini that God
is taking away the normal supports.  We’re talking about the possibility of being rounded up into
concentration camps, of starving, of new diseases coming down the pipe.  So if we are not crying out to
God and asking to be in His will, mystically, so that we can know what to do and how to survive….  God
wants us to call out to Him when we have nothing left.  And I can’t understand what is happening, the
gravity of the evil—genocide, totalitarianism—I can’t understand it unless I think of it as God saying:
“Look, I’m letting this happen because I want you to depend on me completely. And I want to show you
what happens when you don’t.”  And that means that there is no more time, no more excuses—that when
you pray, it has to be mystical.  And mystical, to me, means complete surrender: be quiet, listen to God
[in] the direct experience of God.  As much as possible.  Because we need it.
CL:  It’s not the Rod Dreher approach, “The Benedict Option?”  I think you said somewhere that
that’s not even possible right now.

85
 TK:  No, that’s not going to happen.  Of course we have to flee from this cult and, as much as
possible, the institutions that have enshrined it.  We have to be present to each other, those who
understand what is happening.
CL:  Didn’t Guardini say that at the end of the modern world the faithful are going to be lonely but
that they’ll find each other….
TK:  Yes.
CL:  …but that it was going to be a lonely trek.  It’s not a sentimental view of what a Catholic is
going to be looking at the end of the modern world.
TK:  No.  Another prophecy I want to bring up is by St. Louis de Montfort.  In The True Devotion to
Mary he says that saints in the end times will be the greatest saints in the history of the Church.  And their
greatness will be in their heroism and love and surrender.  And Guardini says that the loneliness will be
harsh, but the love will be greater.  And so we’ll be able to handle it.
And I wanted to bring up Luisa Piccarreta from Italy.  I’ve been reading through her 36 volumes over
the last few years.  And from what I understand, she lived a life of virtue and holiness that was
unprecedented, achieving for the world and the Church a new outpouring of grace greater than all the
others.  It’s called “The Gift of Living in the Divine Will.”  And when I read her writings and I try to
understand what is going on right now….  It only makes sense that we need to be fused with Jesus Christ,
to be one with Him in a way that is even higher than spiritual marriage.
It’s not that anybody deserves this grace or that you can do it with your efforts.   It’s pure gift.  It is
being given to the world now and it’s available to everyone.
So it’s a new normal!  And the new normal for Christians now has to be at this next level.  Because
what’s coming down the pike….  I think we’re just at the beginning.  I don’t like to say this.  I say this
with fear and trembling.
But I think there are also good signs.  I don’t keep my earthly hopes up—I keep them medium, as my
son says.  But there are some good signs that this two-year cycle is waning down and I don’t know what’s
coming next.  We need to keep on our toes and make God the priority.

Education in the Age of Unreality

Two decades ago, much talk existed globally of a “post-911” world and its permanency: “We’re never
going back to the world that existed before the Two Towers fell,” we were told. Sometime in 2020, “The
New Normal” was declared. Both these announcements signify paradigm shifts in global culture and mass
psychology. Such shifts have occurred before in history, and we have learned all about them in our
history books: From the Homeric to the Axial age to the Dark Ages, from Medieval Christendom to the
Renaissance and to the Reformation, from the Enlightenment to the Industrial Revolution and to the
Information Age. Is there anything unique or exceptional about this latest shift into “new normality,” or is
it just one more in a long litany of human cultural evolutions?

In 2020, all public Masses throughout the Catholic world during Holy Week were cancelled. This has
never happened—never—in the history of Christendom. The reason for the cancellation was, we were
told, the worst plague in history. The fact that the Church was shut down—indeed, shut herself down—
during her most sacred and otherwise inviolable celebrations reveals that this is a unique and exceptional
paradigm shift.

The paradigm shift that has occurred and is still underway, with each day witnessing an ever-
deepening shifting, is, I maintain, to the Age of Unreality. The most compelling evidence for the accuracy
of this description is the fact that the Church herself has not only succumbed to this propaganda-
concocted unreality, but has also taken a leading role in spreading it to the world.

As all the actual scientific evidence now indicates—and the data was available soon after March 2020
for those with eyes to see it and some conversance with credible alternative media journalism—no
“pandemic” (in the traditional sense of the word, i.e., hundreds of millions of terminally sick and dead
people all around the world) had actually existed.

What existed was a treatable, mostly non-lethal disease with an infectious fatality rate comparable to
the common flu. And a pandemic exists, as I am writing this essay; it is not one of “variants,” but the
mass deaths and injuries of the injected. Yet, an official Vatican conference was held in May of 2021 that
supported with spurious and tendentious moral and theological rhetoric the false narrative, its attendant
propaganda, and its final cause and raison d’etre: the injection of the entire global population with what
the consensus of true science indicates is, not a vaccine at all, but an experimental, untested, and
manifestly harmful—and fatal for a significant number—gene-altering serum.

As the abovementioned facts indicate, we are truly in uncharted waters: a worldwide propaganda
onslaught the scale and malice of which the world has never seen hypnotizing the global populace into
state of psychotic fear in which millions consented to, or at least did not widely and forcefully resist, a

87
global economic shutdown—a crime against humanity on a massive scale. This shutdown included a
deprivation of fundamental human rights, the physically and psychologically dangerous and medically
useless masking of whole populations, including young children, and now the coercive program of
injecting every living human being with a untested, gene-altering serum, all for a disease that according to
the actual numbers is no more fatal than the flu.
Add to this the official endorsement of this totalitarian program by vast majority of Catholic clergy—
indicated by closing of Churches, refusing to hear confessions or give Last Rites, mandating masks and
social distancing, and even using their parishes as injection sites (not to mention the ever increasing
celebration and normalization of abortion, sodomy, transgenderism, and the recent emergence of a full-
fledged secularist, totalitarian technocracy), and it is easy to see we have truly transitioned into a physical,
moral, intellectual, cultural, political, and spiritual Age of Unreality.

We know from Sacred Scripture and Tradition that a Great Tribulation will come upon the world in
which the Antichrist will make his first personal appearance, coinciding with a great chastisement and
persecution of Christians under his behest. After this, along with his counterfeit “church” now globally
established and ubiquitous among Catholics and non-Catholics alike—“even the elect will be deceived, if
that were possible”—he will be vanquished, followed by an Era of Peace in which Christ in the Eucharist
will reign over the world in a spiritual state of supernatural and natural harmony, a civilization of love.
The Age of Unreality we are now in is, if not the complete establishment of this counterfeit, global
“church,” the inauguration of it; and we are undoubtedly now living in the Great Tribulation.

Real Christian University (RCU)

In the remainder of this essay and in a follow-up essay, I would like to inquire into the kind of college
or university that would need to be founded to educate young people most effectively in and for the Age
of Unreality. I shall call this hypothetical institution, “Real Christian University” (RCU). My thesis is that
such a university would have to be both radically traditional and radically new.

The kind of teachers, students, curriculum, and pedagogy that enable any university’s mission to
succeed must be determined in light of that mission; and the mission of any university must be
determined in light of both the perennial and universal principles of education and the human soul and the
exigencies and dictates of the time and place of its founding.

As a robustly Christian and integrally classical, liberal-arts university founded in early twenty-first
century America, RCU would have only to consult as her models the successful colleges and universities
of similar mission that have preceded her in the last several decades to discover these perennial principles
in both theory (in their founding documents) and in practice (in the concrete and dynamic life and shape
of their communities). Thus, RCU would take its essential core from the Christian, predominantly
Catholic, intellectual and educational tradition and institutional models that have recently been built upon
it.

But these institutions, however excellent and resonant with our mission, were founded before the Age
of Unreality had reached and revealed the fullness of its nature. Thus, their capacity to serve as models
for a similar institution founded in 2021 is significantly limited. The cultural and educational crises to
which these colleges’ founders responded were profound—the culture of death, secularism, scientism, the
dictatorship of relativism, the instrumentalization and fragmentation of curriculum, the loss of wonder—
but none of them compare to the crisis we now face, for it is both the synthesis and culmination of all of
them: the global, totalitarian, technocratic supplanting of Reality by a man-made counterfeit. As C. J.
Hopkins puts it:
The New Normals — i.e., those still wearing masks outdoors, shrieking over meaningless
“cases,” bullying everyone to get “vaccinated,” and collaborating with the segregation of the

88
 “Unvaccinated” — are not behaving the way they’re behaving because they are stupid. They
are behaving that way because they’re living in a new “reality” that has been created for
them over the course of the last 17 months by a massive official propaganda campaign, the
most extensive and effective in the history of propaganda.
Thus, in addition to being traditional and conservative, RCU would need to be radical and
experimental. Józef Życiński has written:
To live the faith of Abraham is to be ready at a day’s notice to pack the tents symbolizing
everything that is dear to one and to go to a new, unknown place, which God will indicate,
completely independently of rational calculations or our emotional predilections. To live the
faith of Abraham in the cultural context of postmodernity is to be able calmly to pack up the
tents of congenial concepts and arguments, not in order to set out on a desert path, but to set
them up again in a different context and in a different form, in a place indicated by God. In
an Abrahamic testimony of faith, one may not lose heart on account of the wildness of new
places or on account of a feeling of loneliness in a foreign landscape. We must constantly
seek the face of the Lord (Psalm 27:8), listening carefully to His voice, which could be either
a discreet whisper or a delicate breeze (1 Kings 19:12). We need to love God more than the
logic of convincing deductions and the collection of respected authorities, to which we like
to refer in times of difficulty. We need to accept the provisionality of contingent means, in
order that the Divine Absolute might all the more clearly reveal in them his power. Only then
does the contemporary “wandering Aramaean” reveal the style in which, amidst the darkness
of our doubt, flashes the light of the great adventure of our faith.
For our purposes, the “tents of congenial concepts and arguments” are the curricula of the
predominantly and traditionally Christian, integrated liberal-arts colleges and universities. The “different
context” is the Age of Unreality. The “place indicated by God” is yet to be determined. As for the
“different form,” we will attempt to set this out in the remainder of this essay and in a future essay, but we
can say now that whatever form the “faith of Abraham” must take for today, it will not only have to
incorporate, integrate, and transmit the classical and predominantly Catholic intellectual and educational
tradition, modeling itself upon them, but also render this tradition fit and fruitful for an age whose
discontinuity from all preceding ones is all but absolute.

An Education Into Reality

Many Catholic colleges and universities have articulated well the perennial principles and curriculum
of Catholic liberal education in their founding documents. And their foundings share essentially the
same raison d’etre, though expressed differently according to their particular charisms. The reality of
American Catholic higher education to which their founding was a grace-ordained response was etsi Deus
non daretur, “as if God did not exist.”

Of course, there were then courses offered in the humanities, philosophy, and theology where the idea
of God was discussed, but His reality was not taken seriously by a critical mass of students, faculty, and
administrators—especially the large, big-name ones that I need not mention. If it had been, the end result
of four years at these institutions would have been, and be, greater Faith, wisdom, and holiness in the
graduates, instead of greater confusion, immorality, worldliness, and apostasy. For the newer integrally
Catholic colleges and universities, taking the reality of God seriously meant revising of the entire
curriculum and culture to be ordered mainly to the study of God as its first principle and end, with the
reality of God as the heart of their institutions’ mission.

When the Living God, the Most Holy Trinity, was dethroned from Catholic higher education in
America, reality itself became obscured. For God is ultimate reality, and when education leaves God
aside through practical atheism, or relegates Him to one belief or idea among others through theological

89
relativism and subjectivism, it is bound to become an education into the unreal, regardless of how
‘scholarly’ or ‘scientific’ it might claim to be. As Frank Sheed wrote decades ago:
Therefore if we see anything at all—ourself or some other man, or the universe as a whole or
any part of it—without at the same time seeing God holding it there, then we are seeing it all
wrong. If we saw a coat hanging on a wall and did not realize that it was held there by a
hook, we should not be living in the real world at all, but in some fantastic world of our own
in which coats defied the law of gravity and hung on walls by their own power. Similarly if
we see things in existence and do not in the same act see that they are held in existence by
God, then equally we are living in a fantastic world, not the real world. Seeing God
everywhere and all things upheld by Him is not a matter of sanctity, but of plain sanity,
because God IS everywhere and all things are upheld by Him. What we do about it may be
sanctity; but merely seeing it is sanity. To overlook God’s presence is not simply to be
irreligious; it is a kind of insanity, like overlooking anything else that is actually there.
For Sheed, education into reality meant first reauthorizing the Church in Catholic education, and not
just one community of like-minded religious believers among others, but as the true and unique Mystical
Body of Christ whose infallible teachings on nature, humanity, and God, and whose eternal-life-giving
sacraments and liturgy serve as the bulwark and guide for all learning.

And it meant a rejection of the anti-tradition of Enlightenment scientism, naturalism, and pragmatism,
with its soulless curriculum of fractured disciplines ordered to will-to-power and ideology. It meant a
return to the medieval, sapiential Tradition of the marriage of Faith and reason, with its soul-nourishing
curriculum of the trivial and quadrivial arts and humanities ordered to the architectonic natural and divine
sciences of philosophy and theology.

The means of education are determined by its subject and end. The subject is the human person who is
to be educated, and the end is the transformation we seek to make in his soul. The telos of this educational
transformation is, generically, the same for all ages and places—perfection of the human soul and person
through attainment of contemplative wisdom in intellectual virtue through perfecting of the speculative,
or contemplative, powers of the intellectual soul and moral virtue through perfection of prudential powers
of choice within the same soul.

In modern cultures, this end is prudentially adapted to the exigencies of practical life, including an
orientation of the curriculum and pedagogy to the needs of the Church for evangelization and vocations,
the common good of large-scale, technologically conditioned political and economic order, and the
flourishing of family life through professional education and career success. This is not to say that liberal
education must become mere job training and preparation for career, but only that it must have an eye to
these things as at least indirect, subordinate, and prudent, or common sense, ends.
The various curricula developed by these colleges were identical in the end to which they were
ordered: natural and supernatural contemplative wisdom. Thus, they were also very similar in
fundamental content and pedagogy, with philosophy, theology, and Great Books at the core, and Socratic
discussion as the primary mode of teaching and learning. The trivial arts, mathematics and the natural
sciences, and classical languages were also considered essential and given varied but serious weight, and
lecture and pure seminar were employed, again, to varying extents, to complement the primary pedagogy
of Socratic dialectic.

The main differences were in emphasis and charism, with colleges like Thomas More and the
University of Dallas focused more on humanities, Thomas Aquinas College giving Thomistic philosophy
pride of place, and Wyoming Catholic College attempting a balanced synthesis of theology, philosophy,
and humanities undergirded by an experiential outdoor curriculum ordered to physical, emotional, and
moral virtue.

90
 All sought to provide their students a deep, comprehensive, and integrated immersion in the Real, both
imaginatively, intellectually, and spiritually (with WCC including physically), through a curriculum and
institutional milieu grounded in the Catholic intellectual, spiritual, and cultural tradition and leading their
students from wonder to wisdom to God.

RCU would be no different than the aforementioned colleges and universities in being a Catholic and
classical “school of reality,” with its curriculum, pedagogy, and culture essentially modeled upon these
institutions—there is no reason to reinvent the wheel. Yet, as all of these institutions were founded before
the Age of Unreality, RCU could not use these as adequate models. Indeed, there is no model for her to
use that would be adequate to her traditional, yet unprecedented mission. We are literally in unchartered
territory. So, a sense exists in which the educational wheel must be reinvented. What would educational
immersion in the Real look like in an Age of Unreality?

Lovers Of The Real

The proper means of liberal education, especially the curriculum and pedagogy, is determined by the
result at which it aims. Liberal education aims at the perfection of the rational powers of the soul of a
rational animal—to the attainment of wisdom. Pater Edmund Waldstein has put it well:
A liberal education aims at helping educating persons to attain to universal truth, and thus be
truly free. Such an education is worthwhile for its own sake, rather for the sake of some
further end, such as professional success. Nevertheless, it also enables persons to contribute
to the good of society. It provides the foundation for sound political activity, based on a true
understanding of the common good. Moreover, it helps to articulate the theological
understanding necessary for the life of the Church, and the habits necessary for the Christian
life.
To attain universal truth and be truly free, to contribute to the good of society, to engage in sound
political activity based on a true understanding of the common good, and to articulate theological
understanding and develop the habits necessary for the Christian life are the ends for which RCU would
be established; and, in light of these ends, its curriculum and pedagogy would be essentially similar to the
colleges that have come before it.

In all ages, the means to attain these perennial ends are also perennial: master teachers and master
works in dialectical discussion, theology, philosophy, and the seven liberal arts in a community of
learning ordered to truth and holiness. How these curricular and pedagogical means would themselves be
applied to the educational end, the ‘means to the means,’ as it were, will be different, adapted to the
particular language, culture, habits of mind, and exigences of the place and time in which they are
engaged.

For example, the medieval trivium and quadrivium have been radically revised and extended due to
the exponential growth and complexity of the arts and sciences beginning in the Renaissance. And so,
what a successful and fruitful liberal-arts college education means and requires for an eighteen-year-old,
middle-class, homeschooled freshmen in twenty-first century America is, however alike in essentials,
dramatically different from what even a late twentieth-century American student would have required, let
alone a European or Middle Eastern one.

But in an Age of Unreality, the age-place-time requirements and hence the differences will need to be
even more dramatic. For, again, what we are dealing with in our day is something unprecedented and
unimaginable to prior generations. Therefore, RCU would teach theology according to the Catechism, the
Encyclicals, Council Documents, the Fathers, and the Scholastics, as well as those modern and
contemporary theologians faithful to the Deposit of the Faith. It would teach the perennial philosophy in
accordance with the Catholic philosophical tradition, with St. Thomas Aquinas as Master-guide, again,

91
along with those modern and contemporary philosophers who have continued and developed this
tradition.

And while it will teach the humanities, contemporary physical sciences, and the fine arts in an
integrally Catholic manner ordered to the True, Good, and Beautiful, the exigencies of our time would
require a radical and innovative adaption of these perennial sources and disciplines.

We must prepare future evangelists and religious for a Church that has been deeply coopted by the
evilest of forces, and for a world that is awash in the most sophisticated, effective, and malicious
propaganda ever created, causing the vast majority of people in the world to be in a perpetual state of
psychological trauma and delusion.
We must prepare future Catholic families to flourish in a world where men and women no longer exist
as stable identities, where children are seen as exploitable commodities or insufferable burdens, and
where marriage no longer exists as a natural, let alone a supernatural, reality. We cannot afford merely to
have ‘an eye’ to these challenges.
We must incorporate them intimately and intrinsically in the curriculum and pedagogy. This does not
entail any essential change in the traditional Catholic liberal-arts program in its means and end but it does
mean more than keeping these challenges in the background. RCU must face them head on.

In a future essay I hope to delve into the details of what this would look like in terms of mission,
curriculum, pedagogy, and culture. To give you a taste, let’s just say that Jacques Ellul’s Propaganda,
Andrzej Łobaczewski’s Political Ponerology, and the complete works of René Girard will be some of the
Great Books we study; courses will include the liberal art of deconstructing media and government
narratives, the history of false-flag terrorism, the nature of the Deep State, Catholic prophecies if
Antichrist, and the reality and power of occult societies, such as Freemasonry.

There will be practical, skills courses on economic independence and self-sufficiency. There will be
deep teaching in psychology, especially psychopathy, narcissism, and ritual scapegoating. In sum, to
claim that our students will become aware of the actual world in which they live and adept at Socratic
inquiry and dialectics would be a bit of an understatement. Lastly, education of their hearts to love the
One, Good, True, and Beautiful will take precedence over mere intellectual formation. For it is only wise
and prudent, loving and courageous hearts that can supplant the Age of Unreality with the Civilization of
Love, and usher in the Great Era of Peace.

Judgment

93
 20
All is Counterfeit

"I don't need to look at the evidence. I wouldn't believe it even if it WERE true." 

“History," a skeptical author of our time has said, "is the judge of peoples, and her judgment,
which continues throughout the ages, renders the Last judgment pointless and superfluous."
Our reply will be that the judgment of history is not a public judgment, whereas evil is public
and rises up with an arrogance that is a scandal to men and a constant outrage against God.
The judgment of history remains incomplete, because every good or bad act is a mainspring
of good or evil, a seed of life or death, all the fruits and results of which its author could
neither feel nor foresee. That is why, if the universal judgment had not been foretold to us, it
would be our duty to demand it, to insist on it as a necessary consequence, as the final
enactment of that Divine Providence which guides the movement of history throughout the
ages, and as a final measure to complete His work and place His seal on it. This universal
judgment is but the last scene of the universal drama: the general fulfillment of all the partial
judgments emanating from God's justice. It is only on this understanding that history
becomes clear and comprehensible, that we shall see it, not as the confused mind and eyes of
man imagine it to be, but as it really is, like a book open to every eye.
—Fr. Charles Arminjon, The End of the Present World and the Mysteries of the
Future Life

This is the age of the counterfeit, inaugurated on IX XI, 2001, which was planned by
counterfeit humans in counterfeit Intelligence agencies and executed by counterfeit planes driven
by counterfeit hijackers into real buildings and mass-murdering real people. But this was only the
prologue. The counterfeit of all time was incarnated (though planned for decades) through the
global announcement of a counterfeit pandemic on March 11, 2020 (notice the 11) by a
counterfeit global health organization with the complicit connivance of counterfeit authorities and
the complicit obedience of the masses aspiring to be like the counterfeits they obeyed and feared. 
There are, of course, other counterfeits, both past and present (put scare quotes on these in
your mind if you like): democracy, social contract political orders, separation of Church and state,
the Enlightenment, Liberalism, and the official histories of the Dark Ages, the Crusades, the
Inquisition, the Wars of Religion, the Protestant Reformation, WWI and WWI and every war

94
after that. These days: critical race theory and practice, gender theory and practice, science,
medicine, law, farming, health, academia, media, school, social media, government, religion,
Pope Francis—all counterfeits, all of them, completely counterfeit. Totalitarianism is the state of
a society in which counterfeits have replaced real things, institutions, authorities, and people, and
global totalitarianism is where the replacement is everywhere. We are now living in global
totalitarianism, not yet perfect global totalitarianism (which is to say, hell, which can’t exist
perfectly in this dimension), but it is being attempted. 
For something to be a counterfeit, it must resemble what it counterfeits, and to be an effective
counterfeit, it must resemble it a lot. Human beings, even in their fallen state, are not attracted to
non-being per se, because the ineluctable objects of our senses, intellects and wills are the
beautiful, the true, and the good. Thus, we are not attracted to counterfeits as counterfeits, for
they are literally nothing in themselves, but only to what appears to be true, good, and beautiful in
and about them, but it is in reality not. 
For example, take the face mask. No one would want to wear this thing unless it was thought
to be good to wear one, and its only good could be preventing a larger evil than the evil of
covering one’s airways, risking bacterial pneumonia and hypoxia, and looking like an idiot. If
these are good for anything at all, it is to prevent relatively large-sized toxins from entering one’s
body, like bacteria from a surgeon’s spittle entering a patient’s open wound, or bacteria in
spurting blood from an infected wound entering the mouth or nose of a surgeon. This good would
have to be balanced against the evils I mentioned of wearing masks for more than a few minutes
at a time, and that is why some doctors choose not to wear them, at least before March of 2020.
So, the fact that billions of people around the world were at one point wearing these all the time,
inside or outside, on hikes, at the beach, and even when swimming tells you that they thought
what was evil was actually good. We have been dealing with not just a counterfeit, but one with
the highest possible effectiveness. To get masses of people, nay the whole world, including the
educated, religious, and good-willed, to suffocate themselves on a daily basis and appear to the
world every day (N95 style) looking like demented ducks indicates a counterfeit of the most
exquisite kind. 
And what was it about these germ-soaked disgusting rags that made them so attractive? It
wasn’t really that they were believed to be effective medical devices. Yes, the counterfeit fear
unleashed on the masses did render these magical talismans quite attractive. But it was most of all
their religious significance that made them irresistible. By the satanically inspired design and
incantations of the counterfeit Covid priests, disgusting face diapers turned into religious
sacramentals, badges of morality, and emblems of the saved. And thus, not wearing them
indicated one’s status as godless (the god being, of course, “science”), immoral, and damned. Just
as we are ineluctably attracted to what is good, true, and beautiful, we are inexorably religious
animals. As Rene Girard has proven, if we do not believe the Gospel, obey the authority of His
Church, and worship the Divine Scapegoat, we will believe and obey and worship anything,
especially a counterfeit that promises safety, security, and moral superiority, and that approves
and encourages assigning all evil to a group of which, you are incessantly assured, you are not a
member, and that makes scapegoating and mocking and hating this group a sure sign of your
goodness, superiority, and salvation. 
But the mask counterfeit, notwithstanding its power and brilliance, was only preparatory, a
second-rate con job compared to the counterfeit of all counterfeits, the vaccine. Just take what I
have written about the mask and ratchet it up to 11 (Spinal Tap), and you’ve got it. But the
difference between 10 and 11 is significant. It’s bad enough to choose a counterfeit over the real
thing, thinking it is the real thing, but what if we were to choose a counterfeit as counterfeit, that
is, knowing, at some level, that it is not the real thing? I said that that was impossible since we
cannot choose evil as evil, only as what we perceive to be good. Well, it should be impossible,
but to tell the truth, after living through these past two years, I am not so sure anymore. 

95
 It does seem to me that there are people, perhaps many people, who knew at some level that
the masks were counterfeits, that the vaccines were counterfeits, and even that the whole
pandemic was to some extent counterfeit, but who, nevertheless, wore the mask, keep getting the
shots, and remained a true believer in the narrative. And it seems that there are many today who
know they are being lied to, and are still doing these harmful things, and may never stop. Why?
How could someone believe a lie knowing it’s a lie, especially one that is harmful to oneself? 
About IX IX, a person who was interviewed by a psychologist said: "I don't need to look at the
evidence." "I wouldn't believe it even if it WERE true." "I refuse to believe that that many
Americans could be that treasonous. Someone would have talked. (Frances Shure, 20-Year
Licensed Professional Counselor, Psychotherapist, from the movie 9/11: Explosive Evidence -
Experts Speak Out, Final Edition - 911expertsspeakout.org - VOD
link: http://link.clickstreamtv.net/video/1...). “I wouldn’t believe it even if it WERE true.” The
Devil is behind all counterfeits because he is himself a counterfeit. “He was a murderer from the
beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he
speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of lies.” The Devil knows that he can’t win,
yet he still fights, because at least he can bring others down with him into hell, where all is
counterfeit, nothing but counterfeits, nothing but lies, with him as the arch counterfeiter for all
eternity. If we are damned, it must be because we reject Truth knowing it is Truth, or believe a
very spiritually significant lie knowing it is a lie. It can’t be that we are damned when we are
deceived into thinking something is a counterfeit when we think it is real, for then we are not
entirely at fault. Thus, if damnation is possible, it must be possible for us to embrace a counterfeit
knowing it is a counterfeit, to reject reality as reality,to embrace unreality as unreality; otherwise,
hell wouldn’t exist, or no one, angel or man, would be there, which we know from Revelation is
not true. St. Thomas Aquinas tells us that when Jesus said from the cross, “Father, forgive them
for they know not what they do,” He did not include the Pharisees who called for the death of
Christ, because they knew precisely what they were doing, killing the God-man. “And he said to
them: Go ye into the whole world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and
is baptized shall be saved; but he that disbelieveth shall be condemned.” Josef Pieper tells us that
the sin of disbelief is not committed through ignorance of the truth of the Gospel that is preached,
but in believing it to be true and given to mankind by God Himself, and rejecting it anyway. 
In my view, the deepest purpose of the pandemic and the global totalitarianism it spawned and
which is becoming more and more perfect each day is to manipulate as many people as possible
to choose counterfeits over reality, and to choose them as conterfeits, that is, knowing them, to
some extent at least, to be unreal. And the counterfeits they want us most to choose knowingly
and willingly are the counterfeits of Jesus Christ and His Church, because it is knowing and
loving these that we are saved, and in rejecting and hating that we are condemned. Those who
lead the Church today have all, save a very small few, already chosen these counterfeits, and they
were confirmed in this choice, I believe, when they shut down the Churches in 2020 during Holy
Week, revealing their counterfeit Faith in the Satanic State instead of Jesus Christ, and their
worship of its counterfeit sacrament of fear instead of the Holy Eucharist. 
The plandemic was the first incarnation of this counterfeit ape of the Catholic Church (IX IX
was its John the Baptist), and the Great Reset is the counterfeit Christendom these wicked
bastards are now attempting to establish throughout the world (they are now in the “demolition
phase,” as they need to destroy every remnant of non-counterfeit reality and silence or kill every
influential non-counterfeit person in order to build back better their kingdom of unreality).
Instead of love, we are to worship malicious power; instead of truth, the dictates of the most
powerful and malicious; instead of the Eucharist, injections of the body and blood of murdered
babies; instead of loving and defending our neighbor, we are to hate and scapegoat him; instead
of the resurrection of our bodies unto eternal life with God, life-in-death and death-in-life as
sacrificial, cannibalized victims of human-machine hybrids who plan to live forever in a hell on
earth of their making. Antichrist is rising. 

96
 I began this essay with a quote about the Final Judgment. There will be no counterfeits there.
Nothing but truth and love. But God’s justice is perfected by His mercy. He will forgive our
attraction and embrace of counterfeits, but only if we repent of them before our personal
judgment at the moment of our death. But if we have allowed ourselves to be manipulated by the
Devil and his minions to embrace counterfeits as counterfeits, then we are in danger of
committing the unforgivable sin, the sin that immures ourselves in ourselves, preventing any
saving encounter with God and immunizing ourselves against repentance. “Woe to you that call
evil good, and good evil: that put darkness for light, and light for darkness: that put bitter for
sweet, and sweet for bitter” (Isaiah 5:20)

21
Are You Aware?

The general public is being reduced to a state where people not only are unable to find about
the truth but also become unable to search for the truth because they are satisfied with deception
and trickery that have determined their convictions, satisfied with a fictitious reality created by
design through the abuse of language.

—Josef Pieper

Vision will blind. Severance ties. Median am I. True are all lies.

—Meshuggah

There is a broad spectrum, as broad as the distance between heaven and hell, describing the
level of awareness of people as to what is truly happening now in the world today, and why. The
awareness abyss between those who know the truth and those who don’t is a result of many
things, including bad education and formation, a culture of lies, and the effect of the innumerable
choices for or against reality people have made in their lives, from the moment they became
responsible for their choices, at the dawning of the age of reason, to the present moment. But the
main reason for where people stand today vis-à-vis reality is the state of their souls vis-à-vis God.
If I know and love God as a saint does, I will be aware of reality as it is; if I know and love God
as a demon does, I will not be. 
Let me try to describe the awareness of someone on the lower side of the spectrum. There are
myriad varieties of these people, depending on accidents of education, culture, socio-economic
status, belief system, and political leanings, but at core the lack of awareness and alienation from
reality is the same for all of them, and for the same reasons. I will begin from the most specific
and superficial, in terms of geopolitical awareness, and end with the most general and profound,
in terms of spiritual awareness. I don’t pretend to be at the highest level of awareness, but as
Plato teaches us, it is true that when we leave one cave, we do know that we’ve left it, even if
there are many more to discover and escape from.
The low-level-awareness person thinks that there actually was a global pandemic, and that it
is, for all intents and purposes, over, as Biden has told him, thanks to the Vaccine, the wise
leadership of people like Tedros and Biden and Fauci and Gates, the heroic efforts of the best and
brightest scientists and doctors, and the sacrifices and cooperation of the many good, responsible,
loving citizens throughout the world—and it would have been over a long time ago if it weren’t
for Trump and the small number of his selfish, irresponsible, and disobedient followers, who, like
spoiled children, wouldn’t lockdown and mask-up and get the shot, and who believed in and

97
promoted conspiracy theories that endangered public health and led to many deaths that could
have been avoided. Biden said that they are an imminent and grave threat to our democracy, and
he told the truth.
She thinks that Ukraine and the entire world is defending its freedom from Russian
aggression, led by an insane new Hitler, and opposed by a courageous hero and new leader of the
free world. She thinks Ukraine is winning and will win, thanks to American assistance, just like
in World War II when America rescued the Jews and the entire world from Hitler. He thinks that
once Ukraine is liberated and Russia justly punished and chastized into submission (like Germany
was), we can get back to the real and most formidable evil the world is facing, climate change. He
is ready for all the sacrifices our leaders will ask us to do, and the final unification of and
disappearance of divisive, racist, and outdated nations into a global government, and just like
with the pandemic, we will vanquish this great evil our unenlightened predecessors bequeathed to
us, the final obstacle preventing us from establishing a new world order of peace and prosperity
and happiness for all. Oh, and the high gas and food prices? That will go away soon, she assures
us, as soon as the MAGA people are eradicated, Putin is assassinated, and everyone gets their
eighth booster. Sit tight and be patient and get used to less white privilege. Bugs aren’t that bad.
Less calories. 
She sees the recent overturning of Roe vs. Wade as only a temporary setback in the ongoing
and inexorable struggle for individual freedom, whose victory is assured and imminent, as
witnessed by the exponential increase in freedom over the last decade, with the right to gender-
reassignment surgery for children being only the latest triumph among many more to come. She
awaits eagerly the new technological advances that will, like contraception and abortion pills,
mRNA vaccines, and the Metaverse, enable humans to further evolve into full adulthood and take
control over that evolution, so that the last vestiges of our imprisoning givenness can be sloughed
off and we can finally become the kind of beings that we for way too long have projected onto
gods and God due to the ignorance, self-hatred, and cowardice of our religious forebears. She
likes what sees in Pope Francis, and especially the German Synod, because he is taking the
Catholic Church in the right direction, although it has a lot of catching up to do. 
Why these views? For the answer, we have to move from a description of his low-level,
reality-averse awareness of what is happening socially, culturally, and politically to her even
lower-level awareness of historical, metaphysical, and moral reality from which she/her/it derives
his/they/rabbit’s asinine opinions. The following is one version of her historical narrative,
translated into the highfalutin English of the typical idiotic academic: 
Only in secular modernity did man finally achieved his liberation from oppression and
ignorance, from superstition, magic, tyranny, and priestcraft, from the dark forces of religious
power, fanatical belief, and sectarianism. Man achieved this liberation primarily through the
secularization of reason, morality and society, which included the separation of religion from the
political order, the church from the state.  Ever-increasing religious and ideological pluralism
ensued as soon as men of good will were permitted to exercise freely their reason and act on their
consciences. It is certainly the case that when Christendom was finally broken up in the wake of
the Reformation, religiously intolerant, confessional, monarchical states emerged, but these
evolved quite quickly, historically speaking, into the secular, tolerant, pluralistic, democratic
states we have today. The rise of secular society after the sixteenth and seventeenth-century wars
of religion was rendered possible only by the removal of religion from all positions of political
significance and power. Good-willed, reasonable people were ready and willing to accept the
desacralization of the state after decades of incessant bloodshed over religion. Sequestered,
depoliticized, and privatized, religion and the sacred would now no longer cause war,
divisiveness, and oppression, and the newly liberated, autonomous, politically secular individual
could finally thrive. In the religiously tolerant, secular, pluralistic liberal democracy governed by
the rights of men, not God, the sacred would still have a place and a capacity to exert influence
over politics, but now it would have to coexist with the many competing sacreds residing in the

98
same city, proliferating and dwelling together in peace precisely because none are permitted to
obtain societal, cultural, and political power, let alone a monopoly on power.  In short, secular
modernity was born when the archaic, violence-inducing sacred lost its public, political
hegemony and influence, being relegated to the sub-political, private sphere of men’s fancies and
hearts.  What took its place in the public square is what should have always been there in the first
place, the right of individuals to self-determination, to freedom of thought, action, speech, and
religion. In modernity man had the courage and intelligence to attempt, for the first time in
human history, to construct a political order not based upon the religious, the sacred. While not
denying the right of every citizen to believe in a sacred, superhuman, cosmic, divine, transcendent
power as the true ground of man’s existence, both personal and social, the theoreticians of the
modern paradigm, people such as Machiavelli, Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, Kant, and Madison,
decided that secular values and rights, codified in a social contract, would replace any supposed
power or will higher than man. And we are so thankful they did.
And these are his core metaphysical beliefs: Mindless Matter is all there is, well, except for
my Mind, which is free and limitless, though determined by economics, but I’m free. I am a free
spirit. And truth is the opinion of the powerful, which is oppressive and untrue, unless I’m in
power, or perhaps it’s the opinion of the marginalized. And all opinions are equal, except those
that aren’t, like Science and Critical Race Theory. 
And as for morality—it’s relative, period. Except for racism and sexism and homophobia,
which are absolute evils. And MAGA is evil. But good and evil are the labels of the intolerant, or
the rationalizations of class consciousness, but vaccines are absolutely good and people should be
forced to get them, and Putin is evil. And we today in the 21st century are morally superior to
everyone who lived before us, except that we’re all equal. And abortion is good, so it should be
imposed on everyone, but morality is relative. Freedom is the Good, and the Good is Freedom—
except for the freedom to try to make something other than freedom the Good, which must be
stopped, by force if need be. 
Spiritually, she believes in love, or power, or both, or nothing. The diversity of religions is
willed by God, except those religions that claim to be the true religion, which God, who probably
doesn’t exist because we are God, hates. Jesus was a nice man and a good moral teacher, but
some of his disciples were antisemitic, such as St. John and St. Paul. Crusade may. Inquisition.
Nazism. Trump. We know this now, and have sought or demanded forgiveness and groveling,
and that’s why we love Pope Francis. The universal religion of love is sweeping across the planet,
as we await its definitive spokesperson. It is already showing itself, as evidenced by divinely
inspired masterpieces of art like this one:
The lockdowns were the first fruits of the New Spirit, bringing us all together in sacrificial
love and Science. And the Vaccine is our new sacrament. The moral, metaphysical, and spiritual
beliefs of the low-level awareness people are, in a word, incoherent, a mishmash of relativism,
absolutism, particularism, universalism, self-righteousness and self-deprecation, individualism
and collectivism, nihilism and crusaderism, materialism and idealism, atheism and idolatry. They
indicate the lowest level possible of spiritual awareness because it, in spite of the illusion of
diversity, they all reject the law of non-contradiction, which is the first principle without which
truth-knowing and truth-telling are impossible. It would evince a higher level of metaphysical
awareness to be a full-fledged materialist or atheist or nihilist, for at least there would be an
implicit recognition of the possibility of truth, even if the truth claim itself is self-contradictory
and false. But this eclectic spirituality rooted in a chaotic moral and metaphysical soup is the very
nadir of human consciousness, and is the perfect breeding ground for global totalitarianism and
the Antichrist who will soon embody it, literally. 
Why would someone holding this set of moral, metaphysical, and spiritual attitudes or moods
—let us not dignify them with the word beliefs—endorse the forced covering of one’s face and
injections into one’s body, the placing of the entire world under house arrest, the censoring of all
speech not in line with arbitrary “expert” claims, the requiring of papers to merely exist in

99
society, the greatest wealth transfer in history to the richest elites on the planet, and a NATO war
of aggression against a nuclear power, on the one hand, and the genital mutilation and
sexualization of children, the goodness of murdering babies, sodomy, and cannibalism (coming
soon), and the replacement of popular entertainment with satanic occult rituals, on the other? It is
because the upshot of those “beliefs” is the promise of power to their adherents, for they are all
predicted on the rejection of any authority above man’s will, either his individual or collective
will. And since the collective will always trumps the individual one due to the dynamic of sheer
power, which is all that is left when there is nothing above the human will; since the most
powerful and ruthless elites always dominate the collective will; and since Satan always
dominates the most powerful and ruthless, the will of Satan will be done on earth as it is in Hell
when the conditions are ripest for his enthronement, and those conditions exist perfectly among
the lowest-level awareness people, and to only a slightly lesser extent among those of higher-
level awareness, which, apart from the very highest, is still very, very low. It is only those with
the very highest-level awareness who stand in the way of the Antichrist at this time. 
What are the geo-political, moral, metaphysical, and spiritual beliefs of those with this highest
level of awareness? Well, I wish I knew them, and to say that I do is to arrogantly imply that I am
among these. I daresay that I try to follow those institutions, traditions, and personages which
have proven their exquisite level of awareness by their works and fruits, their holiness, integrity,
courage, charity, and prophetic witness. Suffice it to say, I try to know, love, and obey reality, a
sign of a high-level awareness in an Age of Unreality. What is this reality according to these
authorities?
For geo-political reality, if it is true that we are in a state of full-fledged global totalitarianism,
and to see this one must already have a high level of awareness, then those institutions and people
telling the full truth would be infallibly detected by the vehemence of the attacks against them by
the Global Regime of Lies. The highest level of awareness, then, can be described accurately
simply by compiling the claims of these. 
There is no institution that is attacked more frequently, ferociously, and insidiously than the
Catholic Church, both from without and within, both by intimidation and persecution, seduction
and infiltration. Therefore, just read the Catechism of the Catholic Church for an infallible
description of the highest level of awareness in terms of moral, metaphysical, and spiritual truth.
For a more detailed account of metaphysical awareness in terms of the history of philosophy, I
would recommend E. Michael Jones’ Logos Rising: A History of Ultimate Reality.
In terms of historical narrative, the highest level of awareness can thus be found by rejecting
any political history that denigrates the Catholic Church and rejects its true reality as the Mystical
Body of Christ, and that doesn’t see the Incarnation as the center of human history. The following
narrative of liberal democracy and the so-called Enlightenment is the high-awareness
counterpoint to the low-awareness narrative described above, based upon the fact that anyone
holding anything like this narrative would be immediately fired from any mainstream academic
or government position:

Since his creation, man has attempted to flee the ubiquitous reality of God through creative
abstraction from the natural things of His creation and the supernatural plan of His redemption.
Fallen man has always been offended at the “scandal of particularity,” always seeking to live in a
universe of his own devising, always abstracting from the concrete, contingent, particular, fleshy,
historical realities in which he, as a creature of matter and spirit, finds himself, and through which
God has chosen to communicate Himself to him.
All was well in the Garden until Adam and Eve began abstracting: “It can’t be this particular
fruit on this particular tree that could be so significant to God and to our happiness!” For the
ancient Greek philosophers, God’s existence was knowable; for the Jews, He was a living
presence. But that he would limit Himself to a backwater village in the Middle East, or become
anything less than a divine conqueror, was foolishness to the former and a stumbling block to the

100
latter. Martin Luther accepted the truth that the universal became particular in the Incarnation, but
denied that this Incarnation should be seen as continuing mystically in a particular, historical,
visible institution demanding man’s obedience. Enlightenment man accepted the existence of
God and absolute truth, but demanded that these be universally accessible solely through man’s
reason. “Enlightenment” would be the result of abstracting from one’s particular and contingent
cultural and religious “superstitions” to attain the universal truth transcending them. But such a
position was tantamount to abstracting the Incarnation out of reality, to rejecting the entire
supernatural order made manifest in and through Our Lord, and denying the necessity of His
grace and teachings for an accurate understanding and practice of even natural truth and virtue.
Postmodern man appeared to have overcome this error, rightly rejecting Enlightenment man’s
facile claim to have discovered self-evident absolute truths in abstraction from particularist
commitments. He discovered that the historical, the cultural, the societal, that is, the particular,
cannot be so easily cut out of the picture. “Self-evident”—to whom? A fair question, that. Yet by
denying the possibility of attaining universal truth through and in its particular embodiments, the
atheist-oriented postmodernists rejected the reality of transcendence for the abstraction of pure
immanence. In short, every error of man throughout history has been the result of missing the
balance between immanence and transcendence, the human and the divine, the particular and the
universal, by abstracting out some particular realm of natural or supernatural reality.  
The diabolically fomented World Wars of our past century, the plandemic, and WWIII we are
now in, sapped the life out of the religious and cultural tradition of the West, with the anti-
traditional abstractions of communism, fascism, Nazism, neo-liberalism, and the Great Reset
serving as demonic parodies of the Catholic Church. But Lucifer’s coup de grâce would be saved
for our century. To his dismay, his all-out destructive assault on tradition in the first half of the
twentieth century had provoked a robust counterattack by men of goodwill in the second half.
Lucifer learned his lesson: men cannot exist without some sort of tradition. Thus, instead of
attempting again the direct destruction of the Western Christian tradition (rendered rather
vestigial, decrepit, and paltry, it must be admitted, from his first assault), this time he pursued a
subtler but more effective method. Realizing that any authentic tradition, even a barely-breathing
one, is a receiver and transmitter of the divine, his stroke of genius was to inspire the construction
and establishment of an abstract anti-tradition that would receive and transmit nothing. Although
similar in its unreality to the abstractions of communism, fascism, Nazism, and globalism, it
would bear such a striking resemblance to the Christian tradition that it would escape detection.
Implemented surreptitiously and cloaking itself in the form of its host, it would serve as the
tradition to end all tradition. Not only would there be no counterattack this time, men of good will
would have no idea what hit them—or even that they had been hit.
 Secular liberal democracy is the cave, liberalism the shadows on its walls, and
“conservative,” “liberal,” and “radical” shadows of various shapes and sizes. For those in the
cave, reality is contacted by comparing and choosing among the shadows; certain shadows appear
“true,” while other shadows seem “false.” But since shadows are all they know, it cannot be said
that they really know any of these shadows at all. They do not know the shadows as shadows.
They may use the word “shadow” in their many echoey, cave discussions, but they do not know
of what the shadows are. Indeed, if they ever recognized the shadows as shadows, they would
escape the cave.
Liberalism is just such a cave. People in the modern West may use the term “liberalism,” and
identify “other” points of view in contrast to it, but because they are inside liberalism and do not
know it, they do not recognize the liberalism of liberalism. They do not see it as an alien, artificial
ideology projected upon the walls of their minds by the elitist puppeteers of academia, religion,
bureaucracy, and media, but simply as “just the way things are.” They are like fish that never
recognize their immersion in water because they know of nothing else. Liberalism claims to
provide a religiously neutral social framework within which individuals can autonomously
determine their own vision of the world in perfect freedom. But we must reject liberalism’s

101
official public claim that it lacks any particular conception of the good and any restrictions on
others’ conceptions of the good. Since liberal culture is founded upon a particular conception of
the good and a particular doctrine of truth—namely, the good of the privatization of all claims to
truth, and the truth of the irreducible plurality of conceptions of the good—and since the publicly
authoritative rhetoric of liberal culture denies having any substantive conceptions of its own,
what liberalism amounts to is an established and intolerant belief system—a religion—that
indoctrinates citizens into disbelieving in its very existence. Just as the puppeteers must ensure
that the shadows are never recognized as shadows, else the cave be identified as a cave and the
prisoners break their chains, liberalism must never be exposed as liberalism, that is, as a
historically contingent, non-necessary, manmade ideology. It must at all costs be identified with
“the facts,” “the way things are,” as the inexorable social reality. In short, as the great
Nietzschean ironist Stanley Fish, a cave-puppeteer with a genius for exposing his fellow
puppeteers to the light, has confessed: “liberalism doesn’t exist.”
The problem, however, is that it does, and its existence is no longer limited to an abstract idea
or a revolutionary experiment—it is now a well-established social reality. The liberal incubus has
found a willing consort in the decrepit culture of the secularized West, and unfortunately, we
citizens of the modern liberal democracies of the West are its traditionalists. With a track record
of human sacrifice, how has the empty shrine of liberal nothing worship (to conflate names for a
moment) managed to escape our detection? The short answer is that it has removed our eyes.
Authentic traditions, both natural and supernatural, embody and transmit the ultimate realities of
man’s existence, the transcendent origin, end, and meaning of things that cannot be grasped by
the isolated individual, and cannot be fully rationalized or defined. Ultimate reality must be
experienced through and in its incarnation in tradition. It is in this sense that tradition is the eye
that allows men to see the spiritual, eternal, and transcendent meanings hidden in the physical,
temporal, and mundane facts of everyday existence. Participants in the anti-tradition of
liberalism, however, are prevented from ever seeing themselves as participants in a tradition,
even though they are its slaves. They are blinded to their God-given identity as members of a
common good higher than themselves, even as they serve as mere cogs in the liberal machine.
The freedom cult includes all others, even the cult of the Eucharist, and so it is more universal,
more “catholic,” and therefore more divine than the Eucharist. By not prescribing any particular
object of public devotion, the State’s empty shrine appears to allow all devotions to exist and
thrive more successfully than if there were an exclusivist, established cult, such as Catholicism.
However, all of this is a grand illusion. As David Schindler points out: “The state cannot finally
avoid affirming, in the matter of religion, a priority of either ‘freedom from’ or ‘freedom for’—
both of these imply a theology.” 
As for the geo-political reality described by high-level awareness, if you look at what those
whom the Regime of Unreality hate the most are saying, it amounts to something like this: The
incredible evil we have witnessed and suffered over the past two years amounts to the greatest
crime against humanity ever committed. The plandemic was an all-out assault on every human
being on the planet. Though its most obvious effects were economic and political, at its core it
was a spiritual and psychological-terror operation knowingly and deliberately orchestrated by a
small global elite of unspeakably evil and psychopathic people. It was executed by a larger group
of lower-tier cooperators ignorant of the master plan but vicious enough to use their power and
influence to inflict untold harm on those in their charge. And it was enabled by the masses of
idolatrous, fearful, alienated, rootless, selfish, and cowardly men, the rotten fruit of a godless and
decadent liberalism, a liberalism that encourages children to mutilate their bodies, allows mothers
to murder their babies, and celebrates when men penetrate the rectums of other men. 
In the end, we are each responsible for our level of awareness, and God created us to aspire to
the highest level possible, the intimate awareness of Him. We can only become aware of our
unawareness by His grace, and we need His minute-by-minute help to ascend to higher and
higher levels, lest we fall backwards into our own darkness and blindness. Let us practice the

102
presence of God always so that we become more and more aware of His indescribable love for us
and share this awareness with all whom we meet.

On the Present and Final Judgment

We know from Christian doctrine, particularly Catholic doctrine, the Catechism, declared
dogma, the Church Fathers, Scripture, the Creed, that He shall come to judge the living and the
dead. There is at the end of time a Final Judgment whereby God will publicly, with everyone
gathered around, judge the lives of each and every human being ever to have been created in this
world. And that judgment will be perfect, accurate and final. There will be no escaping it,
denying its truth, evading its consequences. And for those who tried their best to do God's will as
they knew it, who cooperated with the grace that was given to them by God, that judgment,
although fearful--that's an understatement--will ensue in an eternity of bliss of perfect happiness
and union with God forever. For those who die in a state of enmity with God, having rejected his
will even up to the very end, even after Jesus’ visit to their souls three times (As Saint Faustina
tells us) in the most winsome and compelling and attractive manner possible, those who say to
Him, “My will be done, not thy will be done,” there will be everlasting torment, the consequence
of a self-chosen rejection of God's loving will. The damned soul wants to be right at all costs, not
having ever to admit any wrong, and God permits this want to be fulfilled. The damned wants to
be entirely self-sufficient, not a creature dependent on God for everything, and God allows the
soul to experience what it really means to be without God, forever. That is what hell is.
We do also have another alternative open to us before the final judgment. Having died in a
state of friendship with God but yet not having attained the kind of holiness and sanctity and love
of God required for full intimacy with Him in heaven, God in his mercy gets us ready for that
intimacy by making us undergo a certain duration of suffering, which we will undergo gladly
because we know we are saved, and we know that this suffering means finding our complete
happiness quicker and to become worthy of it.  We are completely in love with and committed to
God's will at the moment after we leave our bodies, and we fly with the greatest rapidity and
desire to the purgatorial fires as if we were starving and discovered a fresh all-you-can-eat feast
down the road.
We are being judged at every moment. We're given opportunities to fulfill our nature as
humans with every choice we make. As creatures ordered to the knowledge and love of God and
to obedience to the truth as it's revealed to us as we know it by our God-given reason and through
the gift of Faith that is preached to us through the Church, our lives provide us with innumerable
opportunities to show whether we in our hearts are committed to God's reality, God's truth, or
some simulacra of our or other humans’ making. Do we choose the Truth that sustains our very

103
being, the truth in which we find our fulfillment and happiness now and in eternity? Or do we
choose a lie, our own will to power over our will to the truth. Every decision is ultimately one
between power, my own power, my own ability to live as I want, to get what I want, and the
reception of the gift of reality that I am to serve and cooperate with in love. Only God has power,
and if we have it, it is only because He shares it with us, for without God I am nothing. “I am the
vine, and you are the branches.”
Although it can be understood and analyzed through a variety of lenses and paradigms, is at
root an unprecedented and unimaginable act of organized crime, a totalitarian takeover by the
most wicked men ever to exist. We know it's also a heist, a theft of wealth from the 99.999% to
the .0001% of incalculable malice, through the lockdowns, the engineered inflation, the energy
and food tyranny, and all the rest of the diabolical methods they are using to squeeze the wealth
and property and money, the communal and financial and physical and psychological and
spiritual self-sufficiency of all the peoples of the world. We know that coinciding with the
scamdemic, providing it with a sort-of theology and dogma, is the onslaught of wokeness, in
which social and psychological engineering has been ratcheted up to unprecedented levels of
cruelty and destruction. They are attempting, for example, to normalize extreme mental illness
and child physical sexual abuse, to make it an act of love and good parenting to take one’s
children to watch a sodomite expose his genitals at a library, to construe irreversible mutilation
and sterilization as finding one’s identity. We know it's a complete satanic onslaught at the very
core of the human person, his imaging and likenessing of God. And of course, we know that the
“vaccine” is nothing but deadly poison: millions have already been murdered, and the final death
toll promises to be unimaginable. And they mock us as they murder us, insisting, and getting the
stupid masses to insist, that these deaths either aren’t happening or are being caused by an
unexpected loud noise or sleeping on one’s stomach.
So, it's an actual democidal holocaust that we're undergoing, unprecedented and on such a
scale as to make all past genocides child’s play. Why is God allowing this? What is He asking of
us? I have been thinking that more than anything else we've witnessed a kind of mini-judgment
come upon the world in the form of this totalitarian plandemic. He wants us to choose Him, and if
we won’t choose Him after a revelation of His presence, His infinite love and goodness, then
perhaps we will choose Him when we have experienced exactly what it feels like when He is
absent. Are you going to care and discover what the truth is and act on it, no matter what it is, no
matter how much it might hurt or make you uncomfortable or take away your power? Or are you
going to put something else above the truth, above Him and his Will? Do you not care about
Truth because you care more about what your little tribe thinks, and will think about you if you
go off the reservation? Does your job expect something of you that contradicts the Truth? What
will you choose? Do you want above all solidarity with others and the power you feel from the
collective wagging of the accusing finger at another group that you can look down on and judge?
Do you want above all some kind of sense of collective identity and control? Is that all your life is
going to be?
These are all choices that are being made, the options we are being given. You can have the
whole world if you simply ignore or reject the truth. Don't search for it. Scapegoat those who do.
Allow your cognitive dissonance to make you immune to any facts outside the narrative that
you've embraced as your God. You can do that. And when you do it, when you place truth under
some other value, desire, and priority, you certainly can “get away with it.” Indeed, you
immediately feel that you are part of the group “who knows,” and you feel oh so morally
superior, holy even, because compared to this other group, these conspiracy theorists, these
selfish people, these irresponsible threats to public health, these domestic terrorists, these far-right
extremists, compared to them, if anybody is evil, it's them, not you, never you. You’ve found
salvation. You also get a lot of pats on the back, financial rewards, career rewards, social and
political and legal privileges. You really feel like you're a good person. All you have to do for
these prizes to be yours is just not care if what you now believe and think is actually true and

104
what you are now doing is actually good. Just don’t care if any of these flattering judgments that
people are making about you, and that you're making about yourself, are actually in accordance
with the reality of your soul. And there’s no one to catch you out for lying to others or yourself, is
there? Who's going to judge you? For those who would and could judge you, the “truthers,”
you've already excluded from your consciousness. They don't have a voice. They don’t really
exist. And if Biden has his way, communicated to us recently in his 1984 Emmanuel Goldstein =
MAGA speech, they will literally not exist.
Or do you recognize that you're just not allowed to behave this way, even if, in this life
anyway, you’ll never “get caught”? Do you see that you're never allowed to put anything above
the truth? And do you accept this absolute law of creaturehood and obey it always? This is the
Divine Judgment that God is now making through this global counterfeit, this religious
counterfeit that mocks and yet imitates the Christian religion, the Catholic religion. It has
doctrine, a priesthood, a gospel, sacramentals, sacraments. The mask is a sign of your religious
observance and membership. The poison injection is the Eucharist. You've got your Church, the
mystical body of the vaccinated and virtue-signalers (Ukraine and climate change are the latest
signals), and you have your enemy. You are the sheep, and the far-right unvaccinated conspiracy
theorists, Russia-lovers, etc., are the goats. Social distancing, of course, is the liturgy, but they are
revising that one, and we’ll have new ones soon. Ukraine, climate change, social credit, digitized
currency—the Great Reset is the new Christendom.
To be a full member of this new religion, you just have to not really care whether it's true.
That makes you a true believer. Maybe you know it's all a lie, but you hate the truth so much that
you would rather live a lie. That's the judgment. That's the judgment that is being made right now
on your soul. And in the Final Judgment, it really is going to be all about whether or not you've
lived your life putting truth first, accepting your creaturely status as obligated to be in reality as
much as you can. He is reality and we were created to live in Him now and for eternity. And that
reality is beautiful beyond comprehension.  It's love, it's truth, it's eternity, it's fruitful and joyful
and deep relationship, it's endless generosity, adventure, excitement, mercy, happiness, joy, bliss,
glory—it's all those things and much more than any words could describe. But it's also the cross
because that's reality too. Jesus showed us that. And the cross is the way, the only way, to
ultimate reality. The plandemic and all that will follow it in the apocalyptic future is a fake cross.
We’ve been forced to do a fake penance to prepare for the fake Easter of the vaccine and a fake
eternity of transhumanistic, collectivist immortality.
If you live a life averse to truth now in your little daily decisions, when your personal
judgment comes at the moment after your death, you're going to be in danger of being confirmed
in a habitual hatred and indifference to truth. What will you choose in your last moment? If you
choose against God, you'll have to live without truth for all eternity, living in utter unreality all
alone, for reality is loving relationship with others, especially God. Living forever in unreality
means living isolated, alone, trapped in your own self-consciousness. But at least you can say
you're right.
Let us think of the four last things frequently and carefully in our prayer and in our daily life.
Death, judgment, heaven and hell. And remember that all this evil we are now experiencing is
meant by God as a spiritual trial, because he loves us so much. If we won't embrace Him for his
goodness and truth, maybe we'll run to Him as he shows us what the alternative to truth really is.
And that's what we're experiencing in this nightmare, what it is to be without truth, without God,
without his magnificent authority, merciful power, and loving presence. He’s waiting for all of us
to cry out to Him, and then he’ll end the nightmare.
