The Hope of the New Year

Many have commented that my piece going into the New Year was very dark. I understand how it might seem that way, but it actually was not. Every great crisis involving some sort of great dysfunction has roughly four stages: revelation, confrontation, conflict and resolution.

Ever since I started writing publicly about the disorder in our world and its trajectory, I have said we are entering a great storm that will be terribly violent but will ultimately result in the renewal of the faith and face of the world. I know many have thought that there surely has to be some secret way to avoid the storm altogether. While I have sympathy with them, as I largely thought the same thing myself until the fall of 1995, I have never said or given any hint at all that the storm could be avoided. Others like to kid themselves that God, Himself, will take all the faithful to some place of safety while everything collapses. I have also been impatient – and even contemptuous – of that idea. While many of us have not engaged in attacking the faith, our faith has not been of the sort that has effectively defended that faith. When we acknowledge our sinfulness in the Confiteor, we ask forgiveness both for what we have done and what we have failed to do. I have been very insistent that the storm comes – and it comes for all. God sends the rain of the storm on the just and the unjust alike. For the just, it is the great opportunity to show our faith is intentional, unshakable and unwavering – and not just a callow plea for endless ‘get out of jail free’ cards.

Having been consistent in the call, I would be a pathetic counselor, indeed, if, on the very eve of battle, I were to tell you to rest your heads well and have no worries, for all will be well. I have never believed my job to be to give you false hope that you can exempt yourself from the vicissitudes of the storm. Since at least 1963 I have believed my job was to help you get through the trials while building your relationship with God, forming healthy communities, and making your trust in Him solid as tempered steel. That has been consistent through the decades of training, since I first submitted myself to a trio of Priests in 1995, and since I went public in 2013. You can argue that I am a bit crazy, but God save me from turning inconsistent in these critical moments!

We are headed to the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart. The only path there runs through the Valley of Death. For a time now, I will be describing the terrain of that dark valley to you – not to scare you, but to get us through it safely under God, so that we get to the Triumph together to offer God a bountiful harvest of joyfully renewed and trusting souls.

Having reiterated that, we are now in the briefest stage of the process, the confrontation stage. It is not going well for the left.

When most pundits speak of the left they describe them as the Marxist authoritarians that have taken over and replaced liberals in the Democratic Party and our institutions. I agree with that, but the most fundamental characteristic of the modern left is its hostility to Judeo-Christian faith. They are Godless but not godless. They are cynical even in that. Like proper Marxists they believe religion of any type to be the “opiate of the people.” They want the people (for whom they have utter contempt) to be well drugged with Gaia, the climate scam, DEI, transgender ideology, gun control, and a dozen other items of raw faith that must not be contemplated or deviated from. Unlike orthodox forms of Judeo-Christian belief – which demand that believers, including leaders, sublimate their appetites to established doctrines – the left’s religions are all designed to supplement and strengthen the power of leftist leaders. It is the only thing they care about. Whether that is a function of willfulness or existential despair at divorcing themselves entirely from seeking to love the true God and serve Him – or some combination of the two – I cannot be entirely sure. Their appetite for power is only rivaled by their rage at the loss of belief in anything greater than themselves.

How, then, is this period of confrontation going badly for them?

Let’s start with DEI, the racial discrimination program that has been touted by the left as social justice. The situation with Claudine Gay, former president of Harvard University, may have dealt it a death blow. After refusing to condemn antisemitism on campus and being found to have serially plagiarized in her meager work, she finally resigned. But she and many of the black DEI advocates (Kendi Ibram and Hannah Jones, among others) are blaming racism for her departure – when the parcity of her work and her cheating would have left a white man unable to secure a job at a community college.

We now have a generation, maybe two, of white men in government jobs, middle management, law enforcement and various other jobs who have direct experience at being passed over for jobs they were best qualified for in order to keep the ‘diversity police’ at bay. If there was a time when the resentments from those blows were harmless, that time is gone. Two sets of people are furious with the corrupt system; those who were passed over and those minority folks who earned their way. Even though they were accepted after showing they had the chops for the job, minorities who care about merit had to overcome the difficulty of proving that they had earned the job by the content of their qualifications rather than the color of their skin. That chafes – and it was people who were supposed to be their ‘advocates’ that put them in this situation. It still rankles that abandoning merit generally has cast a pall over their specific achievement – and every time they start a new job they have to prove all over again that it is their skill, not their ethnicity or race, that is the key to their success.

In any non-authoritarian, heterogeneous society, minorities depend on the majority’s commitment to justice and fair play to secure their full participation in that society. Such minorities generally push for unity and objective standards of quality, for their success is dependent on the good will of the majority. Bizarrely, we have a small group of minority activists who have, for more than a generation, used the language of fairness to bully and cheat everyone except themselves.

The jig is up. Almost all people of good will have figured out that DEI and cries of diversity are not designed to inject fairness into the system, but to game it. Even some of the brighter entities pushing this con are starting to back away in fear of the growing backlash. BlackRock, a linchpin of the concept of woke investing, will lay off 600 people to start the New Year, all coming from the ESG (woke) sections of their business. Only the most obtuse of the diversity activists will continue their bleating. Even a competent conman knows to back away when his mark figures out the con – because it can get ugly quickly. The marks have figured out the con here.

Five mass shootings in the last year, including the most recent in Perry, Iowa, were committed by transgenders. The left tries to somehow make them victims instead of mass murderers and shuts down coverage almost as soon as they find out a transgender did it. But people have noticed. Trannies are certainly punching way above their weight in the mass murder department. Ordinary people wonder when the left will take mental illness seriously – and stop trying to groom and mutilate children.

The left eagerly works to mutilate language, as well. If homosexual pornography that is easily available from the bookstore up the street or Amazon is removed from an elementary school library, they call it “book banning.” Meantime, blue enclaves eagerly ban classics like Huckleberry Finn and To Kill A Mockingbird, insisting it is for ‘safety and inclusion.’ People have noticed.

Leftists are reduced to making such ridiculous assertions to justify their failure that it is doubtful even many of them believe it. They try to make up for the lack of verisimilitude with angry, faux self-righteousness and by getting their trolls to swarm social media sites saying the same ridiculous things over and over again to make their numbers seem bigger. They are become puffer fish. Though somewhat comical, puffer fish are poison.

The left has already lost the confrontation stage. As their gaslighting fails the left increasingly turns to threats and coercion. They gave this its first run with the Covid scare beginning in 2020. That was a fusion of gaslighting with bullying from public health officials and the federal government, on down to the lowliest local officials and lazy police (you know, the ones who run from danger but LOVE to push around ordinary folks). All of these got quite the thrill from seeing how powerful they were. (It is a signal source of pride for me that my son, who worked for a Sheriff’s Dept. when Covid started, quietly went to the sheriff and told him that he would not enforce any Covid restrictions or mandates; that he would not make a big stink, but if the sheriff had a problem with that to tell him so he could find a new job. The sheriff told him he was good. If law enforcement officers had done that generally, we would not have had the nightmare we did). There is a steep price to be paid for the serial abuse of authority; the authority rapidly evaporates as people recognize it for what it is, mere power games. This applies to institutions, as well. People who think a title or a credential gives them carte blanche to roll over ordinary folks find, over time, that their title has not elevated them. Rather, their misbehavior has eroded respect for the institution they occupy, itself.

At his speech commemorating Jan. 6 in Valley Forge, Joe Biden insisted it was the most dangerous moment in American history – and boasted about how vigorously he had prosecuted those who trespassed in the Capitol. As always, Trump is worse than Hitler and his supporters are worse than brownshirts, according to Biden. Biden is certainly not boasting of his or the left’s commitment to law and order; crime is so out of control in leftist run cities that the justice of the Wild West would make things much safer. But that is the fig leaf he used to cover what was a naked threat: ‘dissent from the narrative at your peril, for I will send the secret police after you to jail you.’ To underscore the point, a Biden operative, U.S. Atty. Matthew Graves, announced a few days later that the Justice Dept. would widen the scope of the J6 prosecutions to include anyone who was on the Capitol grounds at all that day, inside or outside. Certainly, the Biden Injustice Dept. has acted very vigorously, if opportunistically, to target individuals such as parents of schoolchildren, traditional Catholics, and others who defy their narrative – even a doctor who exposed an illegal transgender clinic. You can get poisoned if you are one of the unlucky ones on the receiving end, but it is all puff and stuff, for they simply do not have the comprehensive power to go after everyone who opposes them. It is an intimidation tactic designed to encourage people to keep their heads low so as not to be singled out – because the law has little to do with justice anymore, only power. And all the dire pronouncements about how dangerous Trump is boil down to their fear that he might do to them what they have been actually doing to ordinary people for over three years. When they speak of threats to “our democracy” the emphasis is on the word, ‘our,’ not ‘democracy.’

The left has to use these tactics because the numbers are against them. They have to cheat because they cannot win a fair fight. They have to lie because the truth cuts hard against them – and the lies keep getting more ridiculously absurd. They have to intimidate honest people to quit the fight because they can’t win a clean fight. But increasingly they are shooting blanks – and the more they shoot the more normal people they radicalize against them. Three and a half years ago, they were able to force over 80% of the American population to take at least one Covid shot. Last year, despite all the lefty shrieking, they struggled to get over 5% to take a booster. They fired all their rhetorical and coercive weapons early and mainly managed to convince people they cannot be trusted. So now they rely mainly on threats, having squandered any credibility with all their gaslighting. When both gaslighting and coercion fail, then comes open conflict.

The left believes it can shape and control this conflict. Once again it overestimates its own prowess – in more ways than it can imagine right now. First, America has become an international laughingstock and irritant. Nation states and terrorist organizations make their decisions without reference to America, except to the extent of mollifying her so she does not formally engage. When she does engage, it is an irritant and, perhaps, impediment to their plans. But it carries little weight and is most assuredly not decisive. That means the ravenous dogs of war rising around the globe will have their portion whatever America says or does. We are no longer the straw that stirs the drink. We may get drawn into some serious wars. More likely, contestants will, when they consider America at all, utilize tactics to keep America impotent.

The left won’t even be able to control how conflict begins or from whence it comes. Kurt Schlichter believes that America is very likely to fall victim to some large-scale Oct. 7-style terror attacks on our home soil. I agree with him. Victor Davis Hanson believes we are headed for a Thermidorean reaction. (Maximilien Robespierre launched the terror during the French Revolution, keeping two guillotines busy executing hundreds per day. By the time Robespierre took over, the ideologues in France had gotten so unhinged that they were arresting and killing people both from the right and from the left – anyone who dissented or was thought maybe to dissent from their ever more doctrinaire weirdness. It ended in a convulsive pushback when Robespierre, himself, was guillotined on July 27, 1794 – which the revolutionaries had renamed the month of Thermidor. Yes, the French revolutionaries were not content to just topple statues – they renamed months and tried to manipulate reality, itself, to accommodate the increasingly weird fantasies they sought to impose on the French people. It seemed unstoppable, if unreal, until it was all unraveled in a day). I agree with Hanson, too.

Many people busy themselves trying to determine what will be the trigger. I think that to be a fool’s game: when you have a football field full of triggers, all set 10 inches from each other, one is going to go off sooner or later. Once one goes off, they all go off. Whenever and however it happens, once it begins the self-absorbed prattlers of the left will all fall with astonishing speed as ordinary people treat them with an overwhelming wave of revulsion and disgust. They will be utterly irrelevant to the serious challenges of the moment. Global alliances will start shifting like a kaleidoscope. National borders – and the borders of states and provinces within those national borders will do the same. It is no mean feat to avoid the guillotines of the left until Thermidor comes, but it is coming. Though they don’t know it, all the ideologues of the left are already dead men walking. When it does come that will not be when the struggle ends, but when it begins. The Ninth of Thermidor was followed by the volcanic rise of Napolean – and nations throughout the world will be vulnerable to their own strongmen seeking to fill the vacuum left by the suddenly impotent and irrelevant leftists who have held almost all the levers of power. The most dangerous enemies in our future are not leftist scolds, but those who would restore order without reference to God.

That, my friends, is why I formed and devote my life to CORAC. For a time we will be beset, throughout much of the world, by roving bands of rival warlords seeking to establish their primacy. I do not want to replace the oppressors from the left with oppressors from the right, but I know that, “the sons of this world are wiser in their own generation than the sons of light” (Luke 16:8). Do not be deceived. Many on the right and in the center ideologically consider Judeo-Christian faith to be rank superstition. Their dispute with current leftist overlords has more to do with who should be issuing the dictates than with faith, family and freedom. CORAC gives people who are genuinely devoted to intrinsic human dignity and free will under God a means to resist warlords of any stripe.

Thus, while being aware of and dealing with the depredations of the authoritarian left, my concern is directed to the future. The left is already irrelevant except for their exceptionally violent death rattle. We must win hearts and minds back to God to once more have liberty and justice for all. It was the rise of Christianity that made objective standards of liberty and justice universally possible. Our current descent into authoritarian paganism (okay, sometimes pantheism) must not and will not become prelude to a new atheistic totalitarianism. This is why I so value those who occupy themselves with the things right in front of them that they can do right now. They will be the heroes of this epic saga who prepare the way for the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart.

I was deeply saddened to hear of the sudden death of a good friend, Kevin Vasina, while he and his family were visiting France. Kevin was a mainstay of the Knights of Columbus at St. Joan of Arc Parish in Arvada, Colorado (my Parish). He is survived by his wife, two daughters, and a son. It made for a very difficult Christmas season for the family. Kevin was focused on home and frontier skills that have been lost – at least with me. Whenever I got home, we would get together for coffee and doughnuts. May he rest in peace and may his family find consolation in their good memories of him. And may he advocate for all of us from the other side of the veil.

  1. Great piece Charlie! Here’s my favorite paragraph

    I’m very very sorry to hear of the loss of your dear friend in Colorado! May he rest in peace and may God give comfort and signs to his family!!!!

    I’m very very grateful to you and your message of acknowledging God, taking the next right step and being a sign of hope! Things are getting very tricky! Just when I think I’m doing great, a shoe 👞 drops and I’m reminded of what a miserable frail human being I am😂😂😂. I can’t seem to find time to prep with my duties but I am ordering forage books! 😂😂😂

    I told James the librarian about you last evening when picking up a foraging book and he said it was all very interesting 🧐 what I was telling him about you! I told him to look you up and you would rock his world! Ha!

    God bless you Charlie and may God protect you wherever you are!

    I’m going to go and re-read this again and look up the definition of vicissitudes! 😂

  6. The Lord fights against the wicked and much of it is because this undoing is created by thier own hands. (The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug;  their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.)
    The devil tempted Judas to betray Jesus. It was by his own hands that his malice actually helped God saved the world of men.
    And so the Psalmist reminds us what God will do in days like today.
    “I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart;
        I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.
    I will be glad and rejoice in you;
        I will sing the praises of your name, O Most High.
    My enemies turn back;
        they stumble and perish before you.
    For you have upheld my right and my cause,
        sitting enthroned as the righteous judge. You have rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked;
        you have blotted out their name for ever and ever.
    Endless ruin has overtaken my enemies,
        you have uprooted their cities;
        even the memory of them has perished.
    The Lord reigns forever;
        he has established his throne for judgment.
    He rules the world in righteousness
        and judges the peoples with equity.
    The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed,
        a stronghold in times of trouble.
    Those who know your name trust in you,
        for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.
    Sing the praises of the Lord, enthroned in Zion;
        proclaim among the nations what he has done.
    For he who avenges blood remembers;
        he does not ignore the cries of the afflicted.
    Lord, see how my enemies persecute me!
        Have mercy and lift me up from the gates of death, that I may declare your praises
        in the gates of Daughter Zion,
        and there rejoice in your salvation.
    The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug;
        their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.
    The Lord is known by his acts of justice;
        the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands.
    The wicked go down to the realm of the dead,
        all the nations that forget God.
    But God will never forget the needy;
        the hope of the afflicted will never perish.
    Arise, Lord, do not let mortals triumph;
        let the nations be judged in your presence.
    Strike them with terror, Lord;
        let the nations know they are only mortal.”
    Psalm 9:1-20

  7. Charlie, a great piece! Exactly what we need. Your son, the deputy sheriff, showed integrity in speaking to the Sheriff. If only every single law enforcement officer did what your son did, we wouldn’t be having half these problems. Kudos to him. This new year, I look forward to reading your essays and I seek guidance and discernment. It’s good to see someone taking a moment to reflect on a friendship and I’m sure it was comforting to the family. Two thumbs up Charlie.

  8. Condolences to you, Dear Charlie, in the passing of your friend.

    As for your piece: Bravo!! Lots more to contemplate:, such as: “The most dangerous enemies in our future are not leftist scolds, but those who would restore order without reference to God.”

    Reading about the Thermidor reaction brings to mind the Carmelite Martyrs of Compiegne. Much more to contemplate here.

    Here’s a link to a little more about Robespierre and the Carmelite martyrs: https://www.simplycatholic.com/the-carmelite-martyrs-of-compiegne-and-the-reign-of-terror/

    While the Carmelites were being held in detention awaiting their trial, they shared the space with English Benedictine Sister of Cambrai.

    And here’s a passage from linked story: “Within 10 days of the Carmelites’ martyrdom, Robespierre and the members of the Committee of Public Safety were executed at the same site… The English Benedictines of Cambrai, safely home at Stanbrook Abbey, recalled their former cellmates.

    The Benedictines had been released wearing the Carmelite’s civilian clothing, and they regarded the clothes as relics of the martyrs. They ascribed the end of the Reign of Terror to the martyrdom of the Carmelites, who were beatified in 1906 by Pope St. Pius X.”

    May God grant us the grace to take every next right step with confidence in Him, knowing that all things work together for the good of those who love Him and who have been called according to His purpose.

    1. Thanks Deacon Pat…though it is not quite as simple as those passages may make many think. The passages you refer to speak to the final crisis before the end of the world. Most serious religious people do jump to that conclusion, but it is a conclusion that I do not think evidence supports – because for it to be the end we would have to omit several key steps. First, St. Augustine searched the Church Fathers and concluded that we must first go through the ‘minor tribulation.’ The name is deceptive because there is nothing minor about it except in contrast to the ‘great tribulation’ before the actual end. In fact, it will be the greatest tribulation in all of history up till this point. The minor tribulation will be followed by the devil being chained for a lengthy time and the beginning of a great new era of peace, prosperity and brotherhood.

      While the Augustinian eschatology has been overwhelmingly accepted and endorsed by the Church for well over a thousand years, I do not believe it is defined doctrine. So people can licitly dissent from it. It does trouble me that mid-level people almost always go to this being the final crisis without being fully aware of what the Church actually teaches formally on the subject. Part of that is because the hierarchy has downplayed its formal teaching on final things for quite a long time, so a lot of very good and otherwise erudite people are not even aware of that teaching.

      I wasn’t aware of it, myself, until just about a decade ago. Even so, I was firmly in the Augustinian majority because, at least from the time I was seven years old and understood the import of what I appeared to be being told and shown, my angel repeatedly emphasized that, “this is NOT the end. Many will think it is, but it is NOT.” In fact, during some preliminary investigations of me before the formal Church investigation, one of the things that told strongly in my favor was that I adamantly rejected the notion that this was the end and that the Antichrist was nigh.

      What this will play out to be is our last chance. It is very important that we get this right, for after this, the next time we fall away, en masse, it will be the end.

      I don’t know that I would have signed on to be the color commentator for the Apocalypse. But working to give people heart to get through the greatest crisis in history was, indeed, something worth devoting my life to.

      I have come to think what we have entered is the dress rehearsal for the final battle – and there will be many ‘small a’ antichrists foreshadowing the appearance of the definitive Man of Perdition at the actual end of time. But his time is not yet.

      If you are who I think you are, you are in a Diocese where many good things are happening, especially at the great Marian Shrine near the lake. Thank you and God bless you for your service to God’s people.

      1. Thanks for your response Charlie; No, I didn’t mean to imply that the return of Jesus is near. However I believe this could be an indication of the first steps we see. I too believe this will require us to fill our lives with prayer and fasting as we have never done before. This will not be the end of the world, but the end of the age where those who do not prepare themselves will think it is the end of the world. And yes, that is my 1020 and very thankful for the bishop we have guiding our ship. If you have never been to that beautiful Marian Shrine, I would love to give you a personal tour sometime.

            1. Praying Becky, but have peace. Decades ago I had an emergency surgery team come in at an odd hour because my appendix was about to burst. Thanks be to God, they got it in time – and I was sore for weeks. May it work out as well for you.

              1. Charlie and Everyone,

                Thank you all for yours prayers! I am home and resting. I give God all the glory for what turned out to be a smooth surgery.

                My husband insisted on bringing me in to his hospital. The care I received was amazing! Every person my husband wanted there to care for me from radiology to surgeons to anesthesiology were all miraculously in house yesterday.

                I was so frightened of being put under anesthesia. Only God, only God could keep me as calm as He did! When I was in surgery waiting, the nurse asked if I needed a little something to relax. I told him that I’m not a fan of meds, so to please just give me just a little. All I remember was him administering the med and my husband asking me if I could feel the effects. Next thing I knew, I was in recovery with the nurses named MARION AND MARY!!!! The Lord spared me the fear of being wheeled away from my husband and all the process of anesthesia. Praise His mercy and compassion!!

                Grateful I was discharged today and hubby could manage a safe drive through a few hazardous roads.

                Going to try and rest. JP, our almost 18 year old son, watched the kids while hubby and I were away overnight. After I arrived home today, he plopped down on the chair next to me and said, “how do you do this everyday??!!”” 🤣

                God Bless you and thank you again!!!

    2. “While the Augustinian eschatology has been overwhelmingly accepted and endorsed by the Church for well over a thousand years, I do not believe it is defined doctrine. So people can licitly dissent from it.” (CJ)
      The CCC makes a case for the mystery of the “times or seasons” to be decerned as all things are subject to our responses and “God’s perfect timing” thus making it difficult for the church to “define” it.
      “Since the Ascension Christ’s coming in glory has been imminent,566 even though “it is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has fixed by his own authority.”567. This eschatological coming could be accomplished at any moment, even if both it and the final trial that will precede it are “delayed”. (CCC)

      It is important for Christians to realize that the Kingdom of God is not physical in nature. It is an invisible and spiritual Kingdom that is among [within] the people. The Catholic Church teaches that Jesus is presently reigning on earth in His invisible Kingdom. Jesus is presently reigning among us in the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist and in the Sacred Tabernacles.
      Jesus said that the Kingdom of God is not something that can be observed; nor will they say, “Look here it is!” or “There it is!” For in fact, the Kingdom of God is among you. (Lk. 17:20-1) [Some Bible translations say “within you.”]
      Jesus states that loving him means obeying his teachings. As a result of this obedience, “My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them” (John 14: 23).

      For more insight to this mystery the Living In The Divine Will devotion brings to light this indwelling of The Kingdom.

  10. Hopefully, the next core issue, which will lurk in shadows until it strikes, will be an overreaction to the evil Leftists just turned out of office and power, just as you pinpointed, and Beckita reinforced above: “The most dangerous enemies in our future are not leftist scolds, but those who would restore order without reference to God. ”

    Yesterday, we were greeted with a clear statement of the DEI mentality from the DEI leader at Johns Hopkins Hospital:
    ” privilege as the “Diversity Word of the Month.”

    “Privilege is a set of unearned benefits given to people who are in a specific social group,” she wrote. “Privilege operates on personal, interpersonal, cultural and institutional levels and it provides advantages and favors to members of dominant groups at the expense of members of other groups.”

    A definition of the term included listed several demographics that possess privilege.

    “In the United States, privilege is granted to people who have membership in one or more of these social identity groups: white people, able-bodied people, heterosexuals, cisgender people, males, Christians, Middle of owning-class people, Middle-aged people, English-speaking people.” ”

    This bias against competitive achievement has existed in academia at least since the early ’70s as I learned first-hand. I earned my PhD in 1968, and immediately entered service in the USA Army for a 2-year commitment. With a month of service left, I got a call at work at Ft Belvoir from a prof at Stanford for whom I had conducted research; said there was an assistant professorship that just opened at S Ill U, and asked if I were interested, which I was. He called them, and then they called me, and was invited to make a paid visit– and got the job. There were literally hundreds of applicants for any job openings. What I learned was that the Dean had instructed that only women could be interviewed, and a Black woman was preferred. Given my special recommendation, they made an exception, and then went back to the Dean’s restrictions.

    But, between now and then, Iran is going to have to be confronted, and that may be left to Israel with a preemptive strike on Iranian missile and nuc development facilities. China may also strike Taiwan before Trump takes office. The Ukraine-Russian war may expand.
    N Korea is now shooting missiles again and threatening S Korea.

    Public polling is showing that Blacks, Browns, and Asians have been catching on that Brandon’s DemoRat policies are hurting them financially and ruining public safety in DemoRat run cities, and so are increasingly leaning to vote for any Republican. Unless the ’24 election is stolen (again), the DemoRats will be sent home.
    And then reconstruction begins.

      1. This state of affairs is a coordinated fashioning by the NWO and deep state. They are using Agenda 2030 as one means to get there. However, it is also likely that many of our ‘elites’ are actually pedos (or demonstrating some other sexual perversion) who are being blackmailed from a carefully collected archives made by Epstein and crew, and others like him. The sexual nonsense invaded the Church. It seems almost inevitable that it also flourished among many politicians and industry leaders. Pizzagate was likey totally real and, if it was not, it was a model for such activity. The film, Sound of Freedom, showed how it is being done and indicated the mind boggling scope of it, plus the dollar value to the vile people who are willing to collaborate /participate in the process.The free entry border of the U.S. encourages smuggling of children for these purposes, along with any other evil or threat we can imagine. Oh, I am sure that there are some desperate families who are seeking safety and freedom, but you can bet it is entirely a very, very mixed bag which none of the heads of federal agencies (starting with the executive branch of government) and deep state appointees desire to document and trace. It fits with the blackmail scenario and full-speed-ahead socialist/communist/tyrannical NWO order vision fo the world. There is no other reason to permit an unfettered invasion of people who are ever more encouraged to come when Biden offers free healthcare that even American citizens cannot get. Everyone knows the border can be secured if the head of fed agencies really want to do it. It is being done successfully in other countries. The whole thing makes no sense unless it is part of the plan by the self-appointed elites to gain more money, more power, and continue to diminish the U.S. and its citizens from every angle. One has to destroy the world’s true super power (perhaps soon to be erstwhile super power) in order to gain full control. One also has to gain control of the Church which was the guiding light for peoples of the world’s nations when secular leaders had been failing over the centuries. It is beyond my wildest nightmares and I shudder to see what comes next. Pray is our only weapon. I will vote and hope my vote is counted. I hope CORAC is successful. I shudder often and find my anxiety levels are up. The aged and the people who are inferm and ill (both young and old) cannot do all the things that CORAC suggests. It is just not possible, especially without being able to obtain medications. Life will become ever more difficult, even for the healthy. May Christ has mercy on us!

        1. It is a very troubling world in which we live, Judy. CORAC welcomes all of good will who would do what they truly can do wherever they may live. One of its foundations is to simply reach out to those around us to make connections, friendships, for we will be journeying through the worst of what’s to come with our friends around us. I don’t think any one of us is getting out of this without temptations to fear which is one of the enemy’s favorite sick games. I certainly have, and I imagine each one of us has, certain circumstances which would seem to be the demise of a family member or friend, if not the person himself.

          My goodness. I often imagine our Israelite brothers and sisters who were dramatically rescued from Pharoah’s evil intent, only to find themselves in the wilderness of the desert with all its deathly dangers. And here we are again, facing deadly events. In times like these, I must take my own childlike self by the hand and live this: “We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” (2 COR 10:5) And live this: “We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.” (Romans 8:28) And this as well: “If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.” (Romans 14:8) While encouraging myself with the truth and promises of Scripture, I am better able to look up and hold the hand of those around me who are equally tempted to fear.

          Here again, I think of Fr. Robert Spitzer’s book, The Light Shines on in the Darkness: Transforming Suffering through Faith. One passage from a brief synopsis of the book recounts this:
          Fr. Spitzer not only addresses the perplexing questions associated with suffering but teaches us how to suffer well. He points out some of the most common mistakes people make when trying to interpret God’s motives for allowing or alleviating suffering. He demonstrates why suffering – in combination with love – is one of the most powerful motivating agents for personal, cultural, and societal development.

          In what’s to come, I know I’ll be weeping; I’ll feel fear; I’ll wonder if the NRS I chose was really the best; I’ll fail at times and be grateful to be corrected and then raised up by God; and in all of these things I am determined to remember that God IS Love, that He IS the Father of all fathers, that His thoughts and ways are so far above and beyond my own and that He hasn’t sent any of this mess we’re in to us. We have brought these things upon ourselves and what He IS doing is ever bringing good from evil. I am resolved to NOT follow the example of the Israelites by blaming God, failing to thank Him and instead whining to Him all the time or criticizing His ways. (I do lament at times; I just don’t wish to aim any blame at God.) I am so very grateful God has a Plan. Daily, I continue to empty my hands of all He wishes me to release while keeping them open to welcome just what God is doing, day by day and moment by moment in this phase of the Storm.

          Praying anew for each of us to be imbued with Christ’s Peace.

    1. I find this very sad and pray it does not happen. But if it should actually happen, I pray that I would die bravely. I have only actually lived in two other countries and thought they were both OK ~ Great Britain and Japan ~ but this is the country I love second only to the Kingdom of Heaven. Heaven help us!

    1. The real threat is not from our wonderful and terrible sun but from the threat of a nuclear detonation in the atmosphere. Dr. Peter Pry made the rounds with Mark Levin and others before his death from cancer. He had been warning for decades that the threat was real, that the results would be devastating and that there was an easy, affordable fix, if only cities and states would listen. Since they haven’t and we have been lulled to believe that China, NK and Iran are not a threat to us, you can understand why preppers feel they have to take steps on their own.

      1. The video is accurate. The truth is there are so many threats to our grid from natural (stars, black holes, our Sun, …) and nation states and terrorists, … I am often surprised we still have any power. After working for an electric utility helping with IT in power plants and working for medical insurance companies helping with IT security, I am grateful to God every day the lights still work, and we can still use our tech. But it would never surprise me if everything stopped for years or decades, Lord have Mercy! I do not believe the solutions are as easy as some suggest and hope there would be charisms for the next generation of whatever tech God would allow to be rebuilt!

        I like the way Tucker Carlson lets the man speak his piece.

        And yes, I agree that sometimes Carlson feigns his incredulence – especially when others have been positing these ideas. Then Boom, he finds the irrefutable evidence.

  18. I follow Sachin Jose on X (Twitter). He posts a lot of very encouraging videos of people, mostly in Ireland and Poland, it seems, but other places as well, who are publicly praying the Rosary for peace. It is very stirring and uplifting to see. To me, the public processions and prayers are a sign the tide is turning. People are seeing they need God as their governments are letting them down and they are not afraid to be out there. Great things are coming!

As something I read yesterday said, there are now ways to hear the truth even though the “elites” try to hide it all. We have “substack” where writers can speak out, and other sites, thank God.

  24. How convenient that the WHO is claiming “Disease X” will show up just in time for the peak of vaccine injuries/deaths to spike world-wide? What better way to return us to lock-downs and cover for the mRNA damage by creating a new disease scenario to sell to the people and make more $$ for vaccine companies and their cronies.
    Charlie mentioned this peak starting around the 5-year mark. We are entering the 4th year now.

    “Early warnings about the dangers of vaccinating populations in the middle of a pandemic which could create a crisis of 30-to-40 percent mortality in highly vaccinated populations with the emergence of a new Covid variant that won’t be stopped by *vaxx-damaged immune systems*”.

    “According to the WHO, “Disease X” is an “unknown” hypothetical disease that could potentially kill millions upon millions of people. It is supposed to be a purely theoretical disease, but by giving it a name they are basically inviting people to come up with all sorts of theories about it. And that is especially true now that experts have speculated that it could cause 20 times more deaths than COVID did…”

    The corrupt Democrats, DC Alphabet Swamp and THEIR Media Masters will shed Croc Tears, bite lower lips and proclaim that THEY never imagined that such Villainy could exist under THEIR very noses! ….. then THEY will implement False Flags & Orchestrated Crisis to distract BoobLand USA and continue Trash Trump/Deplorables & Election 24 Steal Ops.

    1. CD, the Leo Hohmann article and comments are interesting. I usually don’t read much that leads me from one thing to another; don’t have time, and who knows where you end up!
      Bless your heart for all the research you do! We absolutely need the Holy Spirit to lead us in all decision making!!

He calls on Jesus to help in situations and probably the cutest thing is he keeps finding cookies in the statue of st Francis where a plant should actually be😂. He likes the bird St Francis is holding!!! Keep praying Beckita!!! He’s your little one!🥰🙏👼🥳😘

Charlie Johnston is a former newspaper editor, radio talk show host and political consultant. From Feb. 11, 2011 to Aug. 21, 2012, he walked 3,200 miles across the country, sleeping in the woods, meeting people and praying as he went. He writes on cultural, global and political issues from an orthodox Catholic perspective. He emphasizes that we find God most surely through the ordinary, doing the little things we should with faith and fidelity. His constant refrain is that, to live real joy, we must acknowledge God, take the next right step, and be a sign of hope to those around us. He lives in the Archdiocese of Denver in the United States.
