It is a peculiarity of modern life that a lot of people have a very superficial knowledge about many things, but no depth of knowledge on anything. Then we have cohorts who have extreme depth of knowledge on certain niche subjects (usually technology) but little general knowledge beyond that. Weirdly, this combination conspires to convince many that we live in an enlightened, genius age…when the truth is that we are become intellectual and moral pygmies. Some people convince themselves they are genius because they can operate technology that a prior generation created – while regarding the generation that created it as dull-witted. Strange. Some people convince themselves they are genius because they can Google superficial information on almost any subject while remaining clueless on the context of it…or for that, much of anything about it beyond what Wikipedia tells them (much of which is inaccurate or even directly contrary to the truth). Bizarre. People think “doing research” means choosing which “experts” to believe rather than doing the hard work of learning first principles of how something works and then extrapolating from there. Horrifyingly, this includes many who are credentialed professionals. The biggest shock I got from the whole Covid fiasco was that much of our medical profession does not consist of professional scientists at all, but mere glorified cable installers – who merely parrot instructions from the home office.
There is, ultimately, a terrible price to be paid for this – and a deep vulnerability. Because of our extensive hubris at all we think we know, we are ill-prepared to grapple with the reality that actually is when the chickens of hubris come home to roost. Ronald Reagan once said that, “The problem with our friends on the left is not all the things they don’t know, but all the things they know that aren’t so.” It was a witticism that was, unintentionally, prophetic about the trajectory of our entire culture.
I was taken by a story in the New York Times about how schoolchildren are not reading books anymore. Heaven forbid anyone get any depth of knowledge on anything anymore. I remember, in college, the funny looks I got during the couple of weeks when I was reading Marx and Engels’ tomes, The Communist Manifesto and Capital. I was reading globally influential stuff I considered deeply errant, because you can’t effectively analyze something you don’t know. At the time, people were wont to say that Marxism was good on paper, but didn’t work in reality. That angered me – because I believed it to be as ill-conceived as it was ill-executed. I had a proudly Marxist poli sci professor who laughed out loud when I told him that “Marxism is the opiate of the pseudo-intellectual.” (Some leftists still had a sense of humor in the 70’s). To his credit, he gave me an A+ on my essay explaining, in detail, why Marxism was deeply errant from its first conception because of its false, underlying assumptions about just about everything – and he wrote a note that it was the best critical deconstruction of Marxism he had ever read. Perhaps, but it was not terribly effective: he didn’t change his mind on the subject. I guess a college student now who was caught reading Marx and Engels would be greeted as a comrade by his fellows rather than viewed with suspicion. In their defense, I suppose I should note that my generation saw in brutal and painful reality what communism really was – and so were more immune to its siren song. Even so, there were still plenty of Lenin’s “useful idiots” who partook liberally of this opiate to show how “smart” they were.
When a population is comprised of dullards, it has trouble ahead, though it can last a long time if its ruling elite is comprised of people of wisdom and restraint. When the ruling elite is comprised of dullards, the end is nigh. When the ruling elite is comprised of dullards who have convinced themselves they are geniuses, fiery crash is ahead. The countries that comprise Western Civilization are ruled by the biggest class of elite dullards, perhaps, in world history. Only in America is there a major effort to fight back the tide of idiocy that threatens to engulf us all. So, let me survey a few quick things. There are many more I pay attention to, but these will suffice for today…
- I absolutely LOVED our International ZOOM call last Sunday. I was heartened that we had a lot of people, most stayed until the end, and the questions were good and on point, for the most part. We had a little hiccup when some folks got frustrated that I just wouldn’t hate on Jews the way they wanted me to. I will concede that secularized Jews who have abandoned their faith are notably self-destructive and idiotic…but so are many secularized Christians. There is, unfortunately, a lot larger percentage of secularized Jews – and they have a weird propensity for supporting movements targeting their own ethnicity unlike any other group I have seen. They come by it honestly, though, for that trait goes back to Old Testament times. I don’t mention Candace Owens much anymore – for good or ill. At our first CORAC National Conference in 2021, someone said that Micki Blunt (head of our health team) was “our Candace Owens.” I retorted more hotly than I intended that, “She is NOT!” From early on, I noted that, though Owens makes a good presentation, there is not nearly as much mental acuity and intellectual depth there as people liked to think. With our Micki, there is plenty of both. When Owens first started getting nuttier and nuttier, it angered me. But I have come to think that she may have some real, organic problem – and those who are close to and love her – should be getting her help rather than trying to ride off the grift. I am both annoyed by and feel sorry for her, so I just keep away from the subject. But it tells me something when someone tries to cite Owens as a knowledgeable expert – about the person talking to me. I’m telling you, generalized Jew hatred is the snake in your garden, however you try to justify it.
- NATO is a dead man walking. The collective treaty organization was originally formed in 1949, primarily to protect Europe and Western Civilization from an aggressively predatory Soviet Union. At the time the Soviet Union was a one-party communist state where you would be jailed or killed for disagreeing with the government or saying something it did not like. We were not about to allow our allies in the west to have their basic freedoms stolen from them. Then communism received a wound, as of death, with the fall and breakup of the Soviet Union. Miraculously, it was healed – and reconstituted itself in the very heart of the Western Civilization that had conquered it. Now it is countries such as England, Germany, and France that will jail citizens for their thoughts and speech. America is not going to spill blood and treasure to defend Western Europe’s “right” to persecute its own citizens any more than we would have to defend the Soviet Union’s “right” to do the same. European officials are going through a weird schizophrenia, fawning all over NATO (which is their protection from global realities) while simultaneously lecturing America and trying to end free speech of Americans by hugely fining American social media companies for not censoring speech. Most European leaders (and certainly ALL those of the European Union) are pompous, censorious rubes, while imagining themselves to be the height of sophistication. Those Americans who are also pompous rubes insist America must stand with Europe and fight on its behalf. Of course, our pompous rubes expect the boys from flyover country to do any fighting and dying called for, while they sip their soy lattes somewhere else. It is all over but the shouting. The latest American National Security Strategy Assessment worries that much of Western Europe is in such steep decline it is in serious danger of “civilizational erasure.” It expresses hope for the emergence of true patriot parties in Europe, but also makes it increasingly clear that if the people of Europe are going to regain and keep their freedom, they will have to do it. We are not going to defend, much longer, national leaders who depend on us while biting our ankles and jailing their own people for saying things they don’t like. These same leaders (pompous rubes) are importing and defending Islamic Jihadists en masse. It’s over. If the U.S. wins the battle for sanity here, we may, indeed, rescue the Europeans for the third time in a little over a century from their own existential foolishness, but it will forever put to rest the grift of “European sophistication” when we do.
- The Covid Shot Cover-up is Entering Full Collapse. Stanford University has released a paper on how Covid (and all mRNA) Shots can cause myocarditis. This follows the far-left Atlantic Magazine conceding that the Covid Shots killed some babies. With these establishmentarian institutes conceding that the “conspiracy theory” people were right all along about the “safety and effectiveness” of the Covid shots, we are at the spot where a mile-long complicated domino-stack begins its collapse. I said, on Dec. 23, 2020, in this space, that the Covid Shots were destined to become the greatest medical disaster in history. I thank some of you, especially Linda Graziani, for noting that I was publicly telling everyone from the beginning. I have told you before that Jeff Childers, with his Coffee and Covid Blog, is one of the best and shrewdest writers on the scene today. You might also want to read his recent pieces on this subject here, here, and here. (And I should note that Sandra, from California, with whom I sometimes disagree, played a big role in getting me to read Childers every day instead of just occasionally. Thanks, Sandy!)
- Supernatural communication is the beginning of responsibility, not the end of it. I was first told what a dangerous fraud so much of the Covid nonsense was supernaturally. Some, including many who consider themselves mystics and many who actually have mystical communications, sadly would think that settles it all. No, it does not. The Lord and His messengers have emphasized to me from childhood that I, and I alone, am responsible to Him and to others for what I say and do. Never have I ever told anyone that, “The Lord says you must…” The closest I have come is to say, “I believe the Lord wants you to…” That is because if the Lord genuinely speaks to you, the devil is busily trying to imitate Him to mislead you. If you are convinced the devil could never mislead you, then you are an ignorant, petulant child – and are dangerous to yourself and those around you. When I am given something supernaturally, I have to get to work. Truth will stand the test of examination. So I start doing hard research – both to try to prove it wrong and to confirm it. I began an average of just under two hours of hard research each day on the subject in late May of 2020, which continued for a little over two years. By December, I knew from the actual science and from the effects, that the Covid narrative had almost nothing to do with public health and everything to do with cementing permanent authoritarian control over the public. So, then I was ready to speak publicly. This is why I long ago asked the Lord to tell me what I need to do my work, but nothing else: because it immediately imposes a heavy burden of vetting on me. Thankfully, the Priests who guide me all understood this very well. Occasionally they would ask a question in which I would tell them that I could explain to them, but if I did, they would share in my responsibility to God on the matter. They would then consider and make an informed decision on what they wanted to know. I am very grateful now that I had to do this research, both for helping me to sound the alarm, and because last June I discovered that I had had prostate cancer for a good, long, while when it became very aggressive. I developed a treatment protocol with which I experimented on dosage and other things in it. Mirabile dictu! It worked. I would not venture whether I have eliminated the cancer or sent it into remission. But I have reached a sweet spot in my choice of medications that has left me with more energy than I have had in at least five years. That would not have happened without the Lord forcing me to do such extensive research in order to vet what I had been told. The Lord is kind and merciful. But anytime someone tells me, authoritatively, that “The Lord told me…” in an effort to coerce my will and behavior, I instantly dismiss what they are saying, thinking that they may be getting an authentic message, but they have learned no discipline or humility and have NOT yoked themselves to the Lord’s service just yet. Always remember that you – and you alone – are responsible to the Lord for everything you say and do. Take that responsibility seriously. If you understand that, you will understand that though it is an honor to speak with heavenly beings, it is a huge burden with every new encounter of substance. Decades ago, my son told me he was praying to get a touch of what I had on that score. I panicked and begged him not to do that, to pray he be spared. I was almost crying (actually, I did get there). He was shaken by the vehemence of my negative reaction. A few days later, I explained to him that there is real honor in getting this, but it is like the honor of throwing yourself on a live hand grenade: you do it in hope that none you love will ever have to do the same. So if someone has even authentic mystical visitations, and then uses it to lord over you and try to coerce your will, rebuke and/or flee from them. They are like a toddler with a loaded pistol.
I appeal to you to think through everything you do – and think you know. Make a hard effort to prove yourself wrong. If you are right, you will go forth with more confidence that you can defend what you have come up with. If not, you will learn your error before you have done extensive damage. We have walked into a time of great choosing – and the devil’s attacks are more subtle and deadly than ever. Now his primary targets are those faithful he can glean who have not put on the full armor of God by putting aside vanity and hubris. It is the power of deception – and it is the most deadly tool of all when used against people who are actually faithful. Do not unwittingly become one of his recruits.

Hey, Charlie, it’s good to hear you have healed and even regained lost energy! 🙂
Thank you for the heads-up that the Covid and mRNA baloney has begun to come apart. It will take longer to play out, but it’s good to see it at least starting to fail. Unfortunately, in some blue states or blue institutions, this year’s flu and virus problems are providing excuses to reimpose useless (even mildly harmful) mask mandates and so on. I must admit that it amazes me how many people remain clueless – or malicious – about this, especially among the Left.
I guess that once you’ve been bitten by the snake of the lust for power, there is no cure, or at least for most of these people, not even a desire for one.

Charlie, is it possible that you can share the meds you are on to get to feeling better with your prostate cancer?
Asking for a friend who recently had a PSA of 12. He’s 71 years old. No other symptoms except getting up often at night to go to the bathroom.
Like you, after the pandemic fiasco, we don’t trust hospitals or conventional medical treatment. They all pushed the jabs with only financial incentives in mind. Not for the good or wellbeing of the patients.
Any advice you can give will be greatly appreciated. Any advice that SteveBC has will also be greatly appreciated. He helped our community a lot during Covid for which we will be eternally grateful. We are researching this now.

Charlie I just got done reading your amazing piece and sharing it on fb but I have tears in my eyes because I didn’t know that you have had prostate cancer 😩😩😩. I am deeply saddened to hear of this and yet heartened that you feel it is under control!!! I , as probably most of us do, pray for you so very often, but now I’m going to pray to Jesus for you even more!!! And in particular, St Raphael, which I’m sure Chaz invokes often too! Ha!
Yes, I tell so many people how you told us all that day in our living room that the COVID jab would be known as “the greatest medical disaster in American history!” I can still envision you telling us all that!
I knew you were telling us true!
I thank God Mike and I listened to you too! Getting old is hard enough let alone all that poison ☠️ circulating throughout our bodies!!! lol 😂
Thank you for this piece, Charlie! I treasure them all! I treasure all your advice and the one that helps me the most is to acknowledge God, take the next right step and be a sign of hope to all those whom God puts in your path! I swear I would’ve ended up in a psych unit if not for you and all your spiritual advice living in these tumultuous times! Thank you thank you thank you!!!
You’ve turned very painful and confusing times into actual great joy!
I pray we get another global zoom 🏎️ sometime soon! That was fun!

Wondering if you would share what treatment you have been using.

Send me a note to charliej@coracusa and I’ll talk to you, Robert. It would be risky to talk about that in a public forum. One might say it is crazy that, if you have a medical credential you can freely recommend all sorts of garbage (like remdesivir or the Covid shots) but if you don’t, you can be fined or even arrested for publishing medical stuff. BUT, when I was doing research and writing about what a disaster the Covid shots were and pushing people to Ivermectin or Hydroxychloroquine, I came to understand. I had people pushing me to recommend all manner of “miracle” cures that, when I studied them in depth, turned out to be dangerous for your kidneys, would taint your blood stream…or other things that were worse than what they tried to cure. But send me a note and we can talk privately.

As always, thank you, Charlie!
So grateful to hear you are feeling well. I have listened to and read a lot over the last year about the work of various health professionals using intermitting fasting, ketogenic diets and off label meds to help with cancer and mental health conditions. The FLCCC/IMA just posted a conversation between Dr. Marik and Jane McLelland about her book using various methods to slow and stop what’s fueling cancer. Dr. Thomas Seigfreid’s work is fascinating. Both believe that cancer is a metabolic desease. One of the things I like most about their paths in approaching this disease is that they don’t out right say NO to conventional medicine – i.e. imaging, chemo, etc. They argue that there is a better way by using these conventional methods in conjunction with these other pathways depending on the cancer…specifically targeting and the use of less potent meds/amount of meds, etc..
God Bless – Happy Advent!

Yet among the mature we do impart wisdom, although it is not a wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are doomed to pass away. But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, which God decreed before the ages for our glorification. None of the rulers of this age understood this; for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But, as it is written,
“What no eye has seen, nor ear heard,
nor the heart of man conceived,
what God has prepared for those who love him,”
God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. For what person knows a man’s thoughts except the spirit of the man which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might understand the gifts bestowed on us by God. And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who possess the Spirit.

None of the rulers of this age understood this; for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But, as it is written,
“What no eye has seen, nor ear heard,
nor the heart of man conceived,
what God has prepared for those who love him,”
God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. For what person knows a man’s thoughts except the spirit of the man which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might understand the gifts bestowed on us by God. And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who possess the Spirit.
The unspiritual man does not receive the gifts of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.The spiritual man judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one. “For who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.”
(1 Corinthians 2)
