Wisdom Wednesday Prep-Trump’s Mexico Trip: The “September Surprise”

Mandeville, LA – Today’s Pile of Prep: most of the stories and research used to put together the Mike Church Show on the Veritas Radio Network’s CRUSADE Channel. 2016 is here and WELCOME to the All-New, Mike Church Show on the CRUSADE Channel, listen LIVE for Free (don’t cost nuthin’).

Sapientia et Veritas – “And it is actually true that the Reformation began to tear Europe apart before the Catholic Church had had time to pull it together. The Prussians, for instance, were not converted to Christianity at all until quite close to the Reformation. The poor creatures hardly had time to become Catholics before they were told to become Protestants. This explains a great deal of their subsequent conduct. But I have only taken this as the first and most evident case of the general truth: that the great ideals of the past failed not by being outlived (which must mean over-lived), but by not being lived enough. Mankind has not passed through the Middle Ages. Rather mankind has retreated from the Middle Ages in reaction and rout. The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult; and left untried.” – Gilbert Keith Chesterton, What’s Wrong With The World

DeceptiCONNED: War Mongers Regret Decision To NOT Bomb, Kill & Maim Syrians – Anne Applebaum of the WaPo is whining into her digital ink-well about the “disastrous non-intervention” to NOT attack the Syrian government in 2013 which would have almost certainly cause the destruction of thousands upon thousands of private dwellings and the death of hundreds of the non-combatants living inside. The fact that Applebaum can actually be paid to compose agitations for war and the death of foreigners we are not at war with, would shock any Western civilization previous to ours save for the Radical Republicans of the 1850-70’s, who wanted “rivers [to] run red with blood”. Daniel Larison is shocked as he should be: “The U.S. could have been more deeply involved in the conflict than it is for many years, but all that would have meant was that the U.S. was doing more to inflict death and destruction on a suffering country. When interventionists “mourn” a decision not to bomb, they are regretting the decision not to kill people in another country that posed no threat to the U.S. or any of our allies. That’s a horrible position, and it’s no wonder that most Americans still recoil from it.”

There Is No Justice In The Social Justice Warrior Cult Your College-Aged, Child Is A Member Of – One of the most disruiptive social forces of our day are all these “SJW’s” – Social Justice Warriors – the misguided, unholy punks, responsible for such social & spiritual disasters as “occupy Wall Street”, “LGBTQrstlne” and “Black Lives Matter”. Because the SJW gibberish that suffices for a creed holds that all authority and authoritarian offices and institutions, because SJW’s aren’t in charge of them, are naturally evil and must be annihilated. These include God’s authoritarian institutions like Parents and the Church as defenders and teachers of all moral law. Anthony Stine explains this at CRISIS: “Power arrangements, as the Church teaches, are of concern when they violate human dignity and cause harm to the family. This is where many Christians fall into the secular trap of social justice, as seemingly unjust power arrangements are highlighted by secular authorities (including Marxist professors) to present an image of society that draws the mind of Christian students away from the teachings of the Church and instead focuses on the solutions presented by cultural Marxists. Insidiously this is enabled by these professors using some of the same language that the Church uses, such as love, and human dignity, in addition to social justice.”

Is That A Wetland On your Property Or A Patch Of Land That Identifies As a “Wetland”, Sir? – The EPA is getting into the LGBTQrstlne fan-boy business now by conducting an all-important survey to catalogue all EPA employees sexual preferences and what “gender” they currently identify with. I am puzzled though as to why the usual suspect, ACLU types aren’t screaming “invasion of privacy” and “unconstitutional!” over this massive data gathering? If my boss came and asked me to fill forms out identifying what conditions and positions I was currently having sex in I would tell him a few things about sand and how to pound it. Yet, I’ve heard nary a peep from EPA employees or left-wing “privacy advocates”. At least the warfare-state crowd has an excuse: any personal data obtained from anyone is useful in the “war on terror”, what’s the ACLU’s excuse?

DeceptiCONNED: Who Gave U.S. Generals Permission To Fly Combat Missions In Syria? – Did you know that the United States was flying combat sorties in Syria? Do you know the date on which Congress authorized these missions? If Congress didn’t authorize as is their sole prerogative. then who did? Obama? General Townsend? Anderson Cooper? Hillary? As Patrick J. Buchanan points out, if the Russians want to help out Assad and crush ISIS, then why not let ’em? “First, recognize that ISIS and the al-Nusra Front are our primary enemies in Syria, not Assad or Russia. Geostrategists may be appalled, but the Donald may have gotten it right. If the Russians are willing to fight to crush ISIS, to save Assad, be our guest.”

No, Reader, You CANNOT Support Hillary AND Be A Roman Catholic – I have previously written of the mortally sinful act of giving your endorsement to the most diabolical, pro-abortion, political candidate in ‘Murican history. Yet again, Rod Dreher cannot find the catechetical spine to inform his “Reader” of his grave error that undeniably promotes abd lengthens the reign of the Cult of Death. From Dreher’s blog: “I hate everything about this election. I feel like a peasant in the pre-Constantinian Roman empire, having no hope that the emperor will be Christian, and at best praying that the new emperor won’t be a crazy Nero who appoints a horse to the Senate and sends us to the lions. Thus I will probably vote for Hillary with my nose held, because in the end, I think she’s less likely to void the constitution and impose martial law or start WW3.” Then Dreher’s response when asked by the Reader, what he should do:

“I don’t know.”

Well, I do, Rod and the question is an easy one to answer for a Catholic: walk away from your heretical threat to assist the woman who believes a human life is not a creature of God until Roe vs Wade and “our Constitution” says it is. Full stop, cease and desist and beg the Holy Ghost or the Communion of Saints for wisdom on a not-sinful, Catholic course of action. Nota bene: the Reader and the blogger both proceed from the erroneous notion that there are but two choices, served up as an either or but you must choose edict. Read my response to the last alleged “Catholic” claiming to be Catholic, pro-life and pr-Hillary.

The Romans Went Carmelite on Transgender’s, What Direction Will You Go? – Over at the 4th Wave Now site, the concerned parents who run and blog the site continue their principled opposition to the unnatural fad of pushing “transgender” kids through the actual mutilation procedure. Today 4th Wave explores the lack of historical evidence that supports today’s “kids are born hard-wired” in the wrong “gender’s” body, propaganda. Surely there must be medical evidence that the transformation procedures were crudely attempted. Surely we must see gender confused kids in artwork and literature as well, yet try as we might, there is no evidence of this. “The notion that a child could be “born in the wrong body, creating such a sense of misery that the child and his or her family sought relief via medical intervention—is there any archeological or documented evidence of that amongst the ancients? Try as I might, I was unable to discover any evidence of ancient trans kids who so hated their own bodies that they demanded either psychological or medical interventions. No records of boys wanting to hack off their penises or girls desperate for “top surgery” to remove their despised breasts.” Read the whole article.

‘Muricah, Secede or Die: Reason Number 7,671 To Leave The American Union – The AP informs us that the U.S. has “met its goal of importing 10,000 Syrian refugees“. This makes me wonder, does the U.S. have a goal of liberating 10,000 American refugees from abortuaries in New York City or Los Angeles? How about importing 10,000 refugees from American public schools, made so by virtue of Obama’s edict on bathroom usage? This happens after it has been proven that these “refugees” are comprised of Orthodox Muslims, ready to serve “Allah” and act against the infidel, American citizenry. Would YOUR state import 10k “refugees” given the chance to say yes or no?

The Civil Religion Strikes Back At Kaepernick – 49er’s QB Colin Kaepernick is now refusing to stand for the “national anthem” until “things change” and the “oppression of black people” ends. One wonders if Kaepernack is protesting the wonton slaughter of 75,000 black babies who will massacred in abortion clinics in NYC alone this year? Now comes writer

The Evil That is On The TV Show “Glee” – One of the “stars” of the TV show “Glee” is now boasting and bragging that she had an abortion during the show’s run on Fox so she could “put career first”. Then, in the latest example of diabolical, moral relativism, informs us via her memoir that she can’t wait to share the story of her abortion with her 11 month old son: “She also looks forward to when her 11-month-old son with Dorsey, Josey, will be able to read about what she went through because she hopes “it gives him a better perspective on the issues women face.” ” In a previous age we could hope the boy would grow up to ask of her mother “why?” she took the life of the big brother or sister he never had. Instead Naya Rivera believes her son will lionize her sinful and there’s a good chance that in 2026 ‘Muricah he will. God help us and someone call an exorcist to Rivera’s movie set trailer.

The Media Industrial Complex, Still Clinton-Crooked After All These Years – What if the cash lavished on the Clinton Crime Family via their “foundation” is used to buy the silence of the same media that is currently not covering this greatest non-scandal scandal in history?

Memo To God: Whether You Like It or Not, You MAKE Gay People Gay – That is the best way to describe Robert VerBruggen’s review of the Mayer & McHugh report on the origins of homosexuality and the rest of the alphabet soup of LGBTQrstlne of sexual disfunctions. According to VerBruggen the “evidence” Mayer & McHugh cites actually shows that God makes sexual weirdos at conception so they are “born that way”. This is what used to be called heresy but today is called “opinion”, why? Because VerBruggen could also rise to the defense of Ted Bundy and Jack the Ripper, if the “evidence were available, that serial killers are “born that way”. The similarity between the two are easily “proved” when viewed through the lens of God’s Natural Law. Men and women are created by God and blessed, in their nature, to create children, thus perpetuating His creation, both homosexuals and serial killers terminate that creation one by brute force the other by the absence of action but the results are the same. The “evidence” VerBruggen presents in his apologia for LGBTQrstlne  such as: “Another key piece of evidence is the “fraternal birth order effect”: the more older brothers a man has, the more likely he is to be gay. This phenomenon is well-established…Whatever drives the correlation, it seems to happen before birth, as adoptive older brothers don’t have the same effect.” Got that, Christian soldier? God “seems” to make homosexuals and the rest of the LGBTQrstlne so there, accept them and move along rather than seeing “them” in the same light we see the slut and philanderer, made in God’s beautiful image and given the free will to distort it or preserve it from Sin.

Will Your Kids Go transgender or Will YOU Go Carmelite? – Many schools have now begun classes and the impact of Obama’s tyrannical, gender ideology edict, issued to every school system last May, is now being felt. I have been warning since last February that the agenda of the HB2 crowd is to win your kids over to the ideology of secular humanism, that there is no Creation, no natural order outside what is needed to promote climate change ands that there is no God. The evidence that this analysis was correct can now be tragically seen in the thousands of stories shocked parents are now telling about their kindergarten aged children. Still don’t believe me? Explain this: “So imagine my surprise when I received a communication from the grade school principal stating that there was a gender non-conforming (had to Google that) student in the school and that the kindergarten through fifth graders would be read a book called, “My Princess Boy” to create a more welcoming environment.” A commenter identifying as a lesbian is shocked as well: “It’s disappointing that “LGBT” organizations are supporting this insanity. As an L from the acronym LGBT, this ideology is not what I want and I do not support it.”

Will YOU Go LGBTQrstlne Or Will You Go Carmelite? – Following the story above, browse over to the 4th Wave Now site to read the horror stories of shocked, gravely concerned, despondent parents who cannot believe the schools they went to as kids have now turned on them and thrown in with Beazlebub’s plot to divorce the created from their Creator. 4th WaveNow’s introduction to their site begins:

“Seemingly overnight, US public schools have been transformed into no-questions-allowed re-education centers for inculcating the notion that children as young as 4 or 5 years old can be innately transgender, and that any student, of any age, who claims to be or “feel like” the opposite sex is entitled to use not just private bathroom stalls, but shared locker rooms and showers designated for the sex s/he “identities with. Parents who have questions about the wisdom of this exercise in social engineering are ignored, marginalized, and even deliberately excluded from decisions about how their children are treated during the school day (and on overnight field trips, as well).”

The Chirping Sectary That Gary Johnson Has Become – “Libertarian” presidential candidate Gary Johnson is a walking, talking, billboard for the case I’ve been building to restore the order in our political affairs. Libertarianism, like so many other isms and “beliefs” has a fatal flaw: because it is not grounded in universal principles it can wander into any particular “belief” it wants and Johnson has now chosen “Climate Change”: “I do think that climate change is occurring, that it is man-caused. One of the proposals that I think is a very libertarian proposal, and I’m just open to this, is taxing carbon emission that may have the result of being self-regulating.”

It’s The Culture of Death Stupid – On the surface it appears that what is driving the #TrumpTrain is a longing for an economic gilded age for the middle class. While that may be one of the symptoms of our current crisis it is not the cause, the flight from Tradition and morality is The Cause. John Daniel Davidson, recognizes this and writes of it: “The truth is, entire swaths of working- and middle-class white America are now afflicted by something much worse than foreign trade or immigration. Their communities are in the throes of a moral and cultural crisis—a breakdown of the family and social institutions that has given rise to drug addiction, welfare dependency, and simmering resentment.” Note well: Davidson counsels acceptance of the “global citizen” narrative and the age old, fracturing ‘Murican practice of “voting with your feet” which is not a recipe for shoring up community and tradition.

It’s August And The Immodesty Is About To Go Nuclear Because It WENT Nuclear – Venerable Bishop Sheen called out ‘Muricah back in the 1960’s while speaking to a group of young Catholics on “Youth and Sex”: “8:15 in the morning, the 6th of August, 1945, when we flew a military plane over this city, when we dropped that atomic bomb on it; that bomb on blotted out boundaries. There was no longer a boundary between the military and the civilian, between the helper and the helped, between the wounded and the nurse and the doctor, between the living and the dead. For even the living who escaped the bomb were already half dead. So we broke down boundaries and limits and from that time on the world has said we want no one limiting me. … You want no restraint, no boundaries, no limitsI have to do what I want to do. Now let’s analyze that for a moment, is that happiness?”

The Tragedy of Post Christian, Philosophia Perennis Devoid Thinking – Read this piece from AmConMag writer Noah Millman to get a closeup view of why Philosophia Perennis is so desperately needed to corral the erroneous thinking Men are sure to engage in when NOT grounded in the eternal quest for True Wisdom i.s. Sapientia. The issue Noah, is not whether “only the Saints” can live by the Magisterial code, it is that by God’s Grace the Saints DID live the Tradition WHILE receiving the Graces needed to do so. You cannot approach Grace as zero sum, mathematics, as in if I do ______ I will receive ______ “Grace credits” but if I do ______I will have deducted ______ Grace Credits. Grace is present in the world and we are given the supply needed at Baptism, the suffering of the Christian Faithful is simply to maintain the state you enter at Baptism, using the Gospels and the Traditional Teaching as MEANS to that END. As Padré Gaetano tells us in Humility of Heart: “And has not a saint abundant reasons, from the thought of his own weakness, to live always in a state of great humility, when he knows that from one hour to another he may lose the grace of God and the kingdom of heaven which he has merited by years of laboriously-acquired virtues? “Unless the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it.”
