Monday Pile of Prep- Irony: The Cult Of Death Lives Via Facebook Live

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 –“’The argument is that we will succeed in carrying out the tasks indicated here only by re-centering the culture in conception, birth, and being born: That is, in these as realized literally in the procreation of children, even as this literal procreation of children is itself understood to bear an entire vision of human being and acting before God. Absent this re-centering of the culture in conception and birth so understood, our culture is in imminent peril of an ever-increasing loss both literally of the lives of children, especially in their most innocent and defenseless beginnings, and of the integrity of the human in its natural givenness.”– David Schindler, Today’s Veritas et Sapientia

The Judgement Pornosphere™ At Not So Golden Globes – “Hollywood” belches out a never-ending stream of mortally-sinful tripe, assisting tens of millions into fulfilling Our Lady’s promise from Fatima that “millions of souls will fall into Hell like snowflakes” but no matter! Actors have earned the right to act all actor-ie and pronounce what is good and what is bad, and President Trump is BAD, just ask Golden Glove, Lifetime Achievement Award winner Meryl Streep. In accepting her award for ACTING, Streep reminded the few people watching, that Trump allegedly made fun of a physically disabled reporter and it was beneath the dignity of the office of the Presidency. Never mind that Trump did not mock the reporter in question’s disability, Streep’s audience and “Hollywood” don’t bother with facts and why should they when manufacturing apostasy as entertainment is so much fun. If Streep wants to protect and defend the disabled, why not spend the moments of her speech denouncing the 4 black teenagers who planned the executed the diabolical plot to abduct then torture 18 year old Austin Hilbourn? Hillbourn’s mental disability and the real-life fact that he was targeted because he was white AND disabled is what actual hate-crime “acting” looks like, Ms Streep.

Facebook LIVE Provides ‘Muricans With The Ability To See REAL Violence, Not The Jason Bourne Kind, Yeah! – Our children will see the images of tens of thousands of people being killed by the time their twenty and yet some wonder why something like FaceBook LIVE would be used to broadcast the real-world equivalent of this and then the real-world consequences via comments. shares and “likes”. An average ‘Murican yewt will witness 200,000 acts of violence and 16,000 deaths on TV (according to a study done at the University of Michigan), this does not include video games. What else can possibly be the result of long-term exposure to the cult of death especially considering that The Church no longer exercises much authority to counteract the violence? The WaPo published an editorial questioning whether Facebook’s “LIVE” video streaming isn’t tailor made FOR the broadcast of hatred and violence. This is the world in which social media’s promotion of prideful obsession is taking us and short of a divine intervention, it is only going to get worse.

Will Doctors Go Trans Or Will They Go Carmelite – A woman who mistakenly believes she is a man, has sued a Catholic hospital to force them to violate their faith by assisting in her transition. The fact that doctors are now encouraging patients to physically mutilate their bodies is shocking enough, add to that the charge that people of faith must surrender that Faith and then ASSIST in the mutilation is the end of days. Here is the pertinent question: even IF a Federal Judge orders St John’s hospital to mutilate Jionni Conforti, can they actually compel a doctor and team of nurses to actually perpetrate the act? If so, the we are now at the threshold of red martyrdom and doctors may be the first to earn that crown.

But Mitter Chur! If We Can Juth Get Baaa To The Contitution…. – That’s the rallying cry from the abused, beleaguered but now allegedly ascendant “Tea Party-Constitutional Conservative”: “back to the constitution!” This is based on the ahistorical and misguided belief that ‘Muricah was “founded” as a Christian nation and even more wrong: that the Constitution enshrines and protects this Christianity. So sayeth the latest to fall for this David Bartonian, urban legend, the International Christian Concern *(ICC), ICC now claims, correctly, that ‘Muricah is a “nation” that has joined the rest of the secular world in persecuting Christians. But don’t worry, citizen supporter of guns and Trump, our Founders gave us the Constitution and its foundational edict to protect the faith, the First Amendment. ICC erroneously asserts: “The Founders carefully and deliberately placed religious freedom as the first liberty because it encompasses several fundamental rights including thought, speech, expression, and assembly. The First Amendment explicitly grants freedom of religion, not freedom from religion. The essential aim is to  protect the right of citizens to practice religion in the public square.” First off the First Amendment is an afterthought and was aimed at the Federal Government only and did no such thing as is plainly evidence that being Catholic in Maryland or Rhode Island at the time of ratification, was illegal. For an entertaining and historically accurate view of this, get my CD set: The Spirit of ’76-The Story Continues.

Dapper Dan Beats Cargo Shorts & Crocks – “Clothes make the man” used to be a prized, adhered to adage that drove men and women to dress with great modesty and respect when entering the public square. No man in a Cary Grant/Hitchcock movie would be caught dead without a spagetti tie and blazer and no woman without a modest dress cut at below the knee length. Yet today, if you dare to cache into a Fourbucks coffee shop your eyes will be assaulted by peasants, sluts and hoboes in all manner of undress and some even cavorting about in pajamas. John Horvat (Return to Order) points out that this is yet another sign of a sick, deranged society. Dress also impacts business! “Prof. Michael Kraus compared the results of two groups of men, one wearing business suits and dress shoes and another in sweatpants, T-shirts, and plastic sandals. Those in the two groups were told to negotiate the sale of a hypothetical factory and were given leeway to make concessions. The men in suits conceded an average of $860,000 off the list price of the factory as compared with concession of $2.81 million for those in the sweatpants. The researchers found that those better-dressed behaved with more control; they elicited more respect and exuded more confidence.” Time to bow-tie and vest up, lose the cargo shorts, tank tops and Crocs gentlemen, the era of the Sharp Dressed Man has returned.

Texas Has Gone Carmelite Will DeceptiCONS Follow? – A Federal judge has ruled that Dear Leaders’ “perverts have rights to your children” Executive Order does not have to be enforced in Texas, thus liberating 9 year old girls from having to use the potty with 43 year old perverts claiming to be men. Yay, Texas! When asked for comment, Ezra Young of the Transgender Legal & Education Fund said “Judge O’Connor’s conclusion that transgender people and persons who have had abortions are somehow excepted from protection is deeply troubling, legally specious, and morally repugnant”. Oh that’s rich, claiming that you have moral superiority when you are promoting and defending total denial of the law of Nature and of Nature’s God.  Folks, these people continue to need our prayers to overcome these mental disorders but beware, they seek the political power to exact our total surrender and nothing less; Carmelites, beware.

Social Media’s Judgement Pornospohere™ Is Coming For You – The British Anthology TV Show Black Mirror has opened at least 2 windows into the very near and very bleak future that social media is about to unleash on the Western prideful. The episode called “Nosedive” is so well-made and provocative on the subject, despite the language and vulgarity issues, I encourage all of you to watch it (it is available via Netflix and other outlets). The Atlantic has a pretty good review of this episode as a primer but let me add: if you know someone who has become addicted to their keyboard and Facebook life, then you know a Lacey. “The idea that a society where everyone is forced to be pleasant and agreeable all the time becomes a nightmare underpins Lois Lowry’s The Giver, where “sameness” gets rid of emotional and physical pain but also eradicates individualism and free will. So the parts of “Nosedive” where Lacie learns to embrace being honest (thanks to the assistance of a grizzled truck driver ex machina played by Cherry Jones) felt far more predictable than the scenes that imagine how future societies could punish people simply for being unpleasant. Lacie’s coworker, blacklisted by colleagues after a breakup, can’t physically enter his office after his rating drops below 3.5.” Watch this episode if you have Netflix here, the trailer is below.

The Sick, BIG, Murican Bidness of War, War, War, Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Kill, Kill, Kill – NBC News reports on something readers and listeners already know: war is a racket and the business of unjustly killing non-combatants and assisting the rest of the world in doing the same thing is a stain upon humanity that the U.S. Government engages in with shocking success. I am listing the top 5 “Contractors” to the U.S. Government below and note they are all “defense contractors”. Folks the numbers below are BILLIONS of dollars and should give any Christian citizen pause, knowing what is being done with those dollars. This too shall all end in tears.  LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATION  $36,259,911,070.83
THE BOEING COMPANY $16,646,781,379.52
GENERAL DYNAMICS CORPORATION  $13,632,984,913.57
RAYTHEON COMPANY $13,114,246,704.69
NORTHROP GRUMMAN CORPORATION $10,637,246,770.72

90,000 Christians Went Carmelite in 2017…Oh Look An LGBTQ “Right” Was Trampled! – A Vatican radio report reveals that an estimated 90,000 Christians were murdered for their faith in 2017 making followers of Christ the most persecuted religious in the world. While this occurs we are daily regaled with ridiculous claims about “assaults” on the “rights” of the “transgender community” or “LGBTQ community” that rarely involve any type of violence. Now of course this is not a surprise but that doesn’t make the reality of the fact that Christian martyrs are still being made by the thousands any less reprehensible. Meanwhile The West obsesses over defending the “right” to kill the soon to be born and promotes behavior that these same Christian martyrs gave their lives to charitably bring an end to. This is yet another reason to consider supporting Brother Alexis Bugnolo’s Ordo Militaris and taking the defense of the faithful into the hands on 21st century CRUSADERS.

The Article V Convention That Mark Levin Claims To Have Invented Gains Steam – On April 09, 2010, I, Kevin Gutzman, Bruce Fein, Randy Barnett and the late Tony Blankley hosted a “Symposium On A Federal Solution for a Federal Crisis-An Article V Amendment Convention” – book available here. In this meeting we answered the objections raised against an Article V effort and proposed 10 amendments that convention could offer to repair our ailing Constitution. Now comes Texas Governor Greg Abbott proposing 9 amendments to the Constitution and among them are some of those proposed by our Symposium in 2010, mirabile dictu (speak of miracles)! Abbott’s amendments all make sense AND the fact that ‘Muricans are having Article V conversations in increasing numbers is a good sign for our beleaguered, festering “republic”. My hope is that Article V enthusiasm can be used to encourage taking on the necessary task of remaking the ‘Murican Union.

Facebook Live, For Beating The Trump Out of You – Remember when Obama was elected and we were told he’d be the first “post-racial” President-that Hope and Change were coming and that all men would come to love each other? Remember that column written by Gerald Warner “This Will All End In Tears” (quoted above)? Now comes this video from “Facebook Live” that shows 4 yewts, one of them a young black woman, who have bound and gagged a young white male, beating and flogging him while demanding he say “f**k Donald Trump”. This shocking level of depravity is part of the legacy that President Obama leaves behind, a virtual trail of tears that far too many will revel in via social media.

Progressives Have Become So Odious, They Are Driving The Less Diabolical From Their Ranks – I have been talking about the ongoing spiritual war that we are embroiled in. Most people either ignore or deny this war and all that does is embolden the enemy: Mammon’s hordes. That Mrs Clinton Is/Was the Nephilim spawn of Satan and Margaret Sanger is evident in her deeds; that those who refuse to accept here defeat are of similar composition, I am convinced of by their deeds. Now comes a confession from one of these that the forces of darkness have become a threat to her and her family. This confession is published by Rod Dreher, here’s a snippet: “I am tired of their acceptance of vulgarity and sarcastic irreverence as the cultural ocean in which their kids swim.”

From Russia CIA With Love – Is the CIA behind the WaPo leaks of Donald Trump’s plans for a new detente with Russia? Why are DeceptiCONS McCain and Graham denouncing Trump’s foreign policy plans before he can even articulate them publicly. Patrick J Buchanan, correctly I think, sees the danger to Trump’s presidency coming from inside the parasite ring, the DC Beltway rather than the inside the Kremlin. Folks, there are TRILLIONS of war $$ at stake in any attempt to moderate ‘Muricah’s bellicose foreign policy and those who gorge themselves at the lethal feast are not going to give any of it up, easily. Buchanan: “The real saboteurs of his new foreign policy may not be inside the Ring Road in Moscow; rather, they may be inside the Beltway around DC. The real danger may be that a new Trump foreign policy could be hijacked or scuttled by anti-Trump Republicans, not only on Capitol Hill but inside the executive branch itself.” With the assassination of a Russian diplomat in Turkey, the chips are being placed on the never-ending war’s poker table that the demons who are really in charge of our affairs have their sites set on tens of millions of souls and they mean business.

Will Tar Heels Go Trans Or Go Carmelite? – The state of NC is in a panic over the continued, hysterical opposition to its “HB2”, “bathroom bill” that is now the subject of a legislative special session called for by lame-duck governor Pat McCrory. This comes after the Charlotte city council repealed their perverted “bathroom bill” not because it promoted perversion, mental disorder and Mortal Sin but so Bruce Springsteen would come back and play concerts there. “This Council desires to help preserve and protect the economic wellbeing and the reputation of the State of North Carolina as a welcoming and inclusive State that values all of its people and visitors.” So, as per the usual method, the currency of economics triumphs over any decent defense of Natural Law.

DeceptiCONNED: Conservatives Are Getting the Government They Want – Michael Brendan Dougherty continues leading the cynics march to suffer our dysfunctional government by cynically saying that misery is our lot in life, so suck it up, Buttercup. Writing that “conservatives” are getting the “conservative” cabinet they once only dreamed of and that means their “conservative” policy solutions are actually going to be tested, MBD hypothesizes that this could trigger some sort of what I will call a “parasite spring”, a revolt against the middle-classes revolt that resulted in trump’s win. The signal achievement of this line of thought in my mind is to point out what ought to be obvious: [r]epublcian government is at an end, having been tried and found incapable of tempering its own encroaching and corrupting power.

What Wal-Mart Culture Hath Wrought – The final week of “Christmas shopping” is upon us and the predictable traffic jams, road rage and checkout line meltdowns will begin, ugggh. Now, after the “uggghhh” I would like to pose the question: why go through the imported, Chinese made, injection plastic molded misery? This year in the Church household we are foregoing mountains of gifts in exchange for purchasing a family item we actually need and pledging to begin Christmas on the first day and  celebrate it with reverence for all 12. Does that make us strange or different? Yes. Does that make us or the Wal-Mart society in error? Well, let’s ask Rod Dreher’s reader Pat Maloney of Winnetka, Illinois who penned today’s Veritas et Sapientia about the above subject, here’s a sample: “This is the world we have all made and the shame and the blame extends to all of us. Because we listened to the free traders for whom the value of cheap goods from China via Walmart was more important than the industrial jobs that sustained young families and provided some discipline and dignity to young lives.” Maloney’s critique is aimed squarely at what I call “the paradigm” and his conclusions match my own: the diaspora back to Bedford Falls has begun.

Do You Kiss Your Mother With That Mouth? – The anti-cult has now produced the logical result of its never-ending pursuit of public displays of lust: porno “poets”, nay, FEMALE, porno “poets”. Rod Dreher informs us of the “poet’s”, Rupi Kaur’s, penchant for writing about then photographing and displaying her body’s “lady time”. Folks, this is sick, but over 1,000,000 young girls have purchased it. “After Instagram banned a photo, published as part of a university assignment, showing Kaur lying in bed with her pyjamas and sheets stained with a small amount of menstrual blood, Kaur fought back. She pointed out the hypocrisy of being censored by a site that readily publishes photos of underage girls who are “objectified” and “pornified”. Followers flocked to her, cheering her on as she added, “I will not apologise for not feeding the ego and pride of misogynist society that will have my body in underwear but not be okay with a small leak.”  This poor, demented soul has over 722,000 “followers” on Instagram – Rev Jim Jones is looking more sane and well-balanced by the day – and has sold over 500,000 copies of her “poetry” book Milk and Honey. The book is a how-to commit sexual mortal sin with no one else in the room for young girls and teenage girls are actually asking for it for Christmas! Perhaps that is because female high school newspaper editors are giving it rave reviews IN their school newspapers. Think I’m making that up? Read and truly weep: “The messages are simple to understand and it would be quite difficult for a young girl to not be able to find a relatable poem in this book, since the topics are so broad and so centered on women’s feelings and struggles.” Here is an excerpt from Milk and Honey, quick, get to amazon and add it to the bundle including Shades of Grey, wish-listed for your 12 year old. I digress…

Ronald McDonald Decrees: Fat Petulant ‘Muricans To Get More Fat And Petulant – I have coined a lot of new terms in 2016 e.g.  Has-Been-Media, lgBtqRSTLNE and Trumpzilla. Let me add my first fast-food franchise to the list: Shovels. At your local Shovels Restaurant, the cast extras from Pixar’s WALL-E, drive up, bellies tucked under their steering wheels, and order a simple variety of grossly fattening foods, brought via roller skates to their cars by the only skinny people left on earth. There, the attendants do the light work of taking payment and then perform Shovels signature service: shoveling the junk directly into the mouths of the “diner”. Don’t laugh, that is the premise of WALL E and now that McDonald’s will be delivering fattening sludge to your house in 2017, we’re closer to boarding the blimp shaped space ark then ever before. How ’bout a Fresca! In Brave New World, Aldus Huxley’s dark, 1932 warning, of the events we currently call life, the character, Linda is so disgusted at being fat that she hasn’t the energy to be disgusted by it. “Finally-and this was by far the strongest reason for people’s not wanting to see poor Linda-there was her appearance. Fat; having lost her youth; with bad teeth, and a blotched complexion, and that figure (Ford!)-you simply couldn’t look at her without feeling sick, yes, positively sick. So the best people were quite determined not to see Linda. And Linda, for her part, had no desire to see them. The return to civilization was for her the return to soma, was the possibility of lying in bed and taking holiday after holiday, without ever having to come back to a headache or a fit of vomiting, without ever being made to feel as you always felt after peyotl, as though you’d done something so shamefully anti- social that you could never hold up your head again.”

Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Moe, My Mother Said To Pick The Very Best One… – The WaPo reveals HOW Trumpzilla came to choose Rex Tillerson as his pick for Secretary of State and it wasn’t through “vetting”. This has sent the Has-Been-Media into fits of rage over Trump’s “unorthodox” method of selection, almost as if he went to a sou kitchen and went “Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Moe, My Mother Said To Pick The Very Best One…” (which would have yielded better results than Madeline Albright). But isn’t that the point about the Trump phenomena? If what Mordor on the Potomac has been doing for the last 50 years is “orthodox” then to begin the repair would require blasphemy to that Orthodox or “unorthodox” behavior and acts, right? Consider this dismissive account of part of the process from the WaPo, dripping with condescension: “Names were floated, aides took sides, and Trump grew increasingly disenchanted. Many Trump traits were in evidence, from the reality-show-like parade of candidates, to the dismissal of onetime allies [bold mine-MC], to the efforts by aides to influence him through tweets and television appearances. The process reflected Trump’s refusal to be rushed or pushed and showed how he was not necessarily beholden to his strongest supporters or inclined to dismiss his most strident critics, on the right terms, yet yearned for a personal connection. And he did not seem worried about the potential for a difficult confirmation, even as Republican lawmakers began to speak up, questioning Tillerson’s perceived close ties to Russia.” gasp! He did not seem worried, that orthodox Mordor might not approve! No, not that! I don’t know much about Tillerson outside his disastrous presidency of The Boy Scouts but this story keeps my maverick hopes alive.

Time For Trump To tell The Has-Been-Media: “You’re Fired” – On the Constitution hour with Kevin Gutzman (listen to this episode here), we have been discussing the idea that Pres-elect trump should do away with having an office for a press secretary and do his own media briefings, when and where he wants to do them to his benefit. It is well know that the White House “Press Corps” (as if they’re a military unit!) is sharpening bayonets and buying armor piercing rounds to inflict as much damage as possible on the President when he takes office and the “White House Briefing Room” is their war room. Why let these saboteurs play a home game? Heck, why even give them access to what the President is doing, there’s no rule that says he must comply? As Newt Gingrich points out, these people boast of their status as a title of nobility as if they’re part of the Constitution system itself; well, its time to stick a dagger in that carcass. “The Trump administration should use technology to reach the public with fewer or no middlemen. Why continue to advantage an incumbent press corps that hates the incoming president and has no intention of giving him a fair shot?” Amen, look forward to my daily White House briefings delivered here:

It’s January 2017 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.”
