Thursday Pile of Prep-Our Lord’s Ascension Trumps Trump

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 – “On the top of Mount Olivet, from which Jesus ascended, there was a level rock. On it He stood addressing the multitude before He blessed them and the cloud of light received Him. His footsteps remained impressed on the stone, and on another the mark of one hand of the Blessed Virgin. It was past noon before the crowd entirely dispersed.

The Apostles and disciples now felt themselves alone. They were at first restless and like people forsaken. But by the soothing presence of the Blessed Virgin they were comforted, and putting entire confidence in Jesus’ words, that she would be to them a mediatrix, a mother, and an advocate, they regained peace of soul.” – Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich

NOT a Shocker AND Another “I Told Y So”: Melania IS A Catholic – Only the British papers will print this Truth but that’s to be expected. I have been calling this since day 1 but oh wait, I’m not Matt Walsh or Rod Dreher so…you know, like, move along citizen, nothing to see from this has-been. Seriously, this is CONFIRMATION of what I have been telling you, now let’s say what needs to be said: pray for the Conversion of President Donald J Trump and you’ll start to see the REAL reason Satan’s spawn was denied the Oval Office. Deo gratias!

NOT a Shocker II: The Manchester Orthodox Muslim Was part Of An Orthodox Family – Brother Alexis Bugnolo and I chatted yesterday on the show about the unlikelihood that no one in Salman Abedi’s family knew he was was about to commit mass murder, we were correct. Abedi’s “friends and family”, all steeped in the dehumanizing cult that is Islam, have been arrested for their complicity and Abedi’s sister even claims that Allah’s little helper might be in the glories of heaven right now. This is precisely what we have been pointing out as Belloc and Bosco pointed out: Islam teaches its own supremacy is so divine, anyone not in union with “the faith” are insignificant as a stray dog is insignificant to traffic on a highway. Think I’m exaggerating? Consider this from the Daily Mail: “Abedi’s younger sister, Jomana, said her brother was kind and loving and that she was surprised by what he did this week. She said she thought he was driven by what he saw as injustices. She told the Wall Street Journal: ‘I think he saw children—Muslim children—dying everywhere, and wanted revenge. He saw the explosives America drops on children in Syria, and he wanted revenge. Whether he got that is between him and God.'” Nice. Aint Islam red, white and green awesome!?

Read My Latest: Madness In Manchester: Let’s Hug, Hope And Not Hate, Muslims Are Awesome – Here’s an excerpt. “What’s that, it’s not your “cup of tea” or “I prefer to remain non-denominational and non-judgemental”. No, you prefer to remain a coward and refuse to pick up those crossed pieces of wood and bear them like the Nazarethan who bore them for you and your sins…coward. It is far easier to choose the side of consensus and social-media wind direction, whatever that may be today; but the problem with that is you will ultimately run out of choices and the “radical Muslim” standing before you isn’t going to give you one. Go ahead, offer a hug, a #standtogether tweet and a 1 year free subscription to Charlie Hebdo and see if Nonameah Eezlam takes you out for fish and chips.”

Evil Now Has a Proper Noun But We Already New Its Name: Islam – The British press is ablaze today with the identity of the nail-bomber revealed to be one Salman Abedi, a British born citizen of the UK and a recent visitor to Syria.

But Katie, Islam Is A Religion of Peace, Madame! – Katies Hopkins poured out the Truth back in March after a Muslim went orthodox and took out 5 Britons including a police officer using a small knife and his Range Rover. Hopkins prophesied that there would be more attacks as a matter of fact they were being planned as she wrote. Hopkins is back at it today, thankfully adding some common sense and much needed rage at the slaughter of 22 innocents in Manchester 2 nights ago. Hopkins “The worst kind of death. The most savage of attacks. I wanted to vomit. Crouching at the end of my bed, I wanted to be physically sick, knowing what this would mean for today. It would mean the eunuch politicians peddling their narrative that we will carry on as normal, that we stand united. Trying to find some hope to hang on to.” Hopkins is a must read for her clarity on what the UK actually is facing and I might add, what is coming our way if we don’t alter our course, quickly.

Membah, Membah? The UK Was Warned That Muslim Orthodoxy Was There To Stay – Back in March I shared, in this space, an essay written by UK citizen Kate Hopkins. Hopkins warned Teresa May and the rest of the hand-heart makers who stood in solidarity “for religious diversity” (surrender to Islam), that the maniacal attack at Parliament was just the beginning of Muslim Orthodoxy. Well, it only took 60 days for Hopkins (and Y/T) to be proven correct and for the rest of agnostic EU to be served notice: you’ll either convert to Islam or fight them as Christians, there is no other option. Hopkins: “These events are no longer extreme. They are commonplace. Every day occurrences. These people are no longer extremists. They are simply more devout. More true to their beliefs. Beliefs which will be supported endlessly across our state broadcaster for the next few months until we buy into the narrative that one religion is not to blame. That in fact we should blame Brexit supporters. For believing in a Britain. As it was before. Anything but the truth.” Hopkins warning has yet to be heeded, is today the day that begins?

Muslim Orthodfoxy On Display: ISIS Cheers Massacre of Teenage Girls In Manchester – ‘Muricah’s deadliest creation yet, ISIS, is celebrating the slaughter of 22 teenage girls at an Ariana Grande concert last night in Manchester.

Art Of The Mordor Deal: Trump Asks For 8% Gubbmint Cut, Deep State Says “How Bout, ‘No’ – President Trump has submitted a “budget” proposal that beefcakes up the military industrial complex while paring down The Welfare State. The “Make Our Superpower Great Again” budget (emphasis mine) includes a new spending program for “parental leave” that will cost $25 billion over 10 years, so much for the “conservative” approach to shrinking “the size and scope of government”. The phrase, “we been had” doesn’t adequately describe

“Donald – John – Trump!”, You Know You’re In Trouble When Your Mother Calls You By All 3 Names – Peggy Noonan has some advice for the Flounder in Chief, and it sounds like motherly scolding. “It would be good if top Hill Republicans went en masse to the president and said: “Stop it. Clean up your act. Shut your mouth. Do your job. Stop tweeting. Stop seething. Stop wasting time. You lost the thread and don’t even know what you were elected to do anymore. Get a grip. Grow up and look at the terrain, see it for what it is. We have limited time. Every day you undercut yourself, you undercut us. More important, you keep from happening the good policy things we could have done together. If you don’t grow up fast, you’ll wind up abandoned and alone. Act like a president or leave the presidency.” Is Noonan correct or has Mordor become not manageable by those who are not Mordorians? Isn’t it possible, nay likely, that the problems President Trump is encountering in his administration show what I’ve been telling you for over a decade? This monstrosity we call the Federal Government is a living beast that will defend itself as though any attempt to reign it in is a virus that the elite white blood cells must smother until death?

‘Murican Government: “Bring Out Yer Dead!” – Read this piece, written anonymously, (the author actually is actually known to me) at The Federalist and see if you can distinguish what the real problem in ‘Murican government is today. Here’s a clue:

Broadcast TV Has Reached “Peak” TV & Still Has Nothing To Say – The tabloids are all abuzz over Showtime’s relaunch of the creepy 1992 TV series Twin Peaks, that is understandable for those needing a break from writing fictions about our apocalyptic, Trumpian future, but The American Conservative Magazine!? AmConMag features not one but two cover stories today about the relaunch of Twin Peaks giving me pause to search for the link to “conservatism” and maybe that’s the point: “conservatism” has jumped the rails so far even people that ostensibly defend what’s left from it’s smoldering remains are confused over what is to be “conserved”.

What Did Ronald Reagan Know About Fatima That All The Fake Reagan Wannabe’s Don’t? – On today’s Fatima Extravaganza show featuring my “Murderer’s Row of Marian Heretic Slayers”, Brother André Marie, Chris Ferrara and Michael Hitchborn of The Lepanto Institute, we learned that in 1985, Ronald Reagan learned of Fatima Portugal’s importance to the effort against Russian Communism from the pope, John Paul II and even visited the site. This “historical excavation” as Ferrara put it, is an amazing historical find for the Fatima story’s continued buildup of importance and credibility among non-Catholics. We found the story from historian Paul Kengor who wrote: “[P]ublic proof of Reagan’s knowledge of Fatima became unmistakably evident in this May 9th, 1985 speech, with a striking statement that left the Portuguese members of the parliament momentarily shocked as they listened to the translation of the president’s words. The passage came amid the American president’s thoughts on John Paul II…. No one has done more to remind the world of the truth of human dignity, as well as the truth that peace and justice begins with each of us, than the special man who came to Portugal a few years ago after a terrible attempt on his life. He came here to Fatima, the site of your great religious shrine, to fulfill his special devotion to Mary, to plead for forgiveness and compassion among men, to pray for peace and the recognition of human dignity throughout the world. When I met Pope John Paul II a year ago in Alaska, I thanked him for his life and his apostolate. And I dared to suggest to him the example of men like himself and in the prayers of simple people everywhere, simple people like the children of Fatima, there resides more power than in all the great armies and statesmen of the world.” Read the whole story here or listen to our podcast discussion of it here.

What Did Ronald Reagan Know About Fatima That All The Fake Reagan Wannabe’s Don’t, II? – Watch the video of President Reagan’s May 09, 1985 speech to the Portugese Parliament. You can fast forward to the 19:00 mark to just watch the Fatima mentions and Reagan’s beautiful prose about his friend JPII and the devotion he had to Mother Mary, Our Lady of Fatima.

Dear President Trump, Leave Afghanistan And Leave It NOW – Trumpzilla 2016 operative Martin Rojas pleads with Trumpzilla to pull all remaining forces out of Afghanistan to “make america great again”. I have been pleading the same cause but to make Louisiana great again by ending the flow of our National Guard to the Hades-foresaken killing field that Afghanistan has become for all involved. It is time for ‘Muricans to demand military accountability in the form of drawbacks and restraint, two qualities a truly “great country” would have ample supply of-currently, ‘Muricah under President Trump has none of the first and far too little of the latter.

Millennials Get McDonald’s Cheese on QP’s Why Shouldn’t They Get Catholic Doctrine From Catholics? – The following article attempts to peacefully answer the many “accusations” that Millennials hurl at the Roman Catholic Church and then form them into a query: should the vagabond losers conform to Rome or should Rome conform to the losers? Asking questions like “Where is the task-force searching for the lost generation? Where is the introspective reflection necessary when 1/3 of a generation is ANTI-CHURCH?” Sam Eaton attempts to straddle the never-ending folly of the heretic: “Why doesn’t The Church see that its wrong and I AM RIGHT!?” Well because The Church CAN’T be wrong, she is spotless and infallible in Her teaching, that’s why. Mitter Eaton should wonder why this foundational point isn’t being made often or strongly enough, it is THE problem with the modern, ‘Murican world.

Ronaldus Magnus Went Carmelite on Fatima – This fascinating article covers a 1987 trip that President Reagan made to the Vatican to meet with Saint Pope John Paul II. Before during abd after the meeting Reagan learned of, asked questions about and talked about our Lady of Fatima and the implications for the future of civilization her requests made during the 6 apparitions.

The 100 Year Anniversary of The Armenian Genocide And The Groupthink Media That Helped It – Stella Morabito, the great grandchild of Armenian survivors reminds us that what proceeds a genocide is groupthink. The kind of groupthink that say, can be lulled into thinking that discriminate, drone-strike killing of third world Muslims is ok so long as there is an element of “terror” present. To put that in context, is drone-strike killing ok in Detroit or Los Angeles if there is an element of “murder” in a neighborhood? Of course not because we value a “system of law and order” and the strike violates it, but why doesn’t it violate it for the Afghanis? Simply put: Groupthink. Here is Morabito: “Information warfare through a centrally controlled media is key to turning neighbor against neighbor. It plays a huge role in caricaturing perceived enemies and growing an us-versus-them mindset. In short, propaganda that psychologically manipulates a population is key to laying the groundwork for extreme social polarization, and ultimately for genocide.” Think about that next time you learn of “errant drone strikes” in the mid-east, the same drone will work here.

The Revenge Of The Nerds: Your Smartphone – In today’s Veritas et Sapientia, Phillip Reed lays out his case why he refuses to buy a smartphone. In Reed’s confession we find one of those inconvenient truths Christians avoid: how to be IN the material, diabolical world and not be OF that world? Read the excerpt here, link to the whole essay is there as well.

Spyin’ Eyes Over ‘Muricah, Courtesy Of The NSA – The NSA is testing new blimp technology (don’t laugh, it’s true) that purportedly can scan the sky for incoming missiles (happens everyday in Jersey, right) and conveniently, any radio transmissions made on the ground. Yay, Raytheon!

Why “The Right Fails”: It Chooses Bread & Circuses Over Intellect Every Time – I have friends and family members who swoon over Tomi Lahren and others over Milo Yiannapoulas for their “telling it like it is” and over how “awesome” they “take it to the man” and the like and this is all well and good for bread and circuses but what does it provide for the intellect? 0.0 but I think that’s the point and its easy to make the association that O’Reilly provided the same intellectual desert for 25 years to the parents of Lahren and Milo, thus the pathetic state of our moral and political affairs: they are informed by a cult of personality instead of by The Cult of personality found in the teachings and contemplative life once cherished in Christendom. David French sums it up well: “Moreover, the pattern is repeating itself with the younger generation of conservative celebrities. The sharp rise and meteoric fall of both Tomi Lauren and Milo Yiannopoulos were driven by much the same dynamic that sustained O’Reilly for years, even in the face of previous sexual-harassment complaints — Lahren and Yiannopoulos were “fighters” who “tell it like it is.” O’Reilly was the master of the “no-spin zone” and seemed fearless in taking on his enemies. What followed was a toxic culture of conservative celebrity, where the public elevated personalities more because of their pugnaciousness than anything else.” The end is not near for the cult of personality but there is a swell building for the cult of intelligibility!

The Non-Interventionist Right Against The Talk Radio Mafia & Fox – The number of us (I count myself and The CRUSADE Channel in this group though we’re not cited) who advocate and defend non-interventionism is actually quite large and packed with some very well studied and at the same time humble people. George O’Neill is of these men and he has produced a stunning “inventory” of these groups and individuals which makes for some great reading and browser bookmarking. O’Neill notes the WHY of why a stable and fruitful relationship with the Russians is a strategic winner for Europe, Russia and yes, ‘Muricah too.

The Non Casus Belli Of Trump’s MissileGate – (NOTE: non casus belli= no cause for war) There is a “community” of former intelligence officers who monitor the war actions (they keep VERY busy) the USA takes and provide some insider perspective on, one of these is Philip Giraldi. Giraldi informs us today that this “community” is llivid over the Trump admins missile salvo into Syria and the continuing beating of war drums that will lead to an open conflict with the Russians. This despite ZERO point ZERO evidence that Assad used or even had possession of the weapons in question. “The insiders note that no evidence has been produced to demonstrate convincingly that Syrian forces dropped a chemical bomb on a civilian area.” Who needs evidence when you have 60% of the population chanting USA! USA! at the sight of “beautiful” missiles being launched toward “terrorists”?

Time For Oliver Stone To Make A Sequel To Greed Called Gov’t Contractor Gold – The more we learn about the staggering amount of $$ that official Mordor sends via rail car to “government contractors” the more the size of the deceit and the real reason for Mordor’s size is revealed. New analysis show that “contractors” to the Federal Government earn well over TWO TIMES what their private sector counterparts make. “For example, the median total compensation for a security guard in the private sector is $32,953, roughly double the minimum wage, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Security guards contracted by the federal government, on the other hand, make more than $68,000 at their annual billing rate, according to POGO.” Read the entire piece for the skinny on the great Cruise Missile Robbery.

It’s May 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.”
