Excellent work as usual Frank. I will read the book which you recommended by Pope Pius X.

Ad Jesum per Mariam⚔️

Thank you Laura and I am glad you found it useful. I came across the apostolic mandate quite by accident and thought it strikingly apposite. The book is splendid and is one to return to, time and again. What a prescient man was Pius X.

Look upon the face of Pope St Pius X and then compare it to the soft , doughy visage of Bergoglio or almost any present leader , religious or secular in the West . You needn't even read a word that he had written or spoken to know that they be the words of a serious man and that his modern counterparts are weak and effeminate .

As to present day Hitlers , let us not forget him who is possibly "worse than Hitler" , out-Hitlering even Hitler Actual , Mr Donald J Trump .

I didn't know anything about St Pius X when I started going to the traditional mass. When I started reading what he had written I was astonished at how much of the error of the 20th century he predicted. This apostolic mandate, which I came across by accident, is a remarkable example of his prescience and insight. I have read much on European thought and very little with the explanatory power seen in the writings of Pope St Pius X.

I pray to him with the kids every night now. He is an inspiration and a great help in these times.

I had overlooked the Hitlerisation of Bad Orange Man, which is remiss of me. From the point of view of a dissolving power it is a dangerous game to Hitlerise advocates of law, order and common sense, and propose a bunch of diabolical fairytales as the alternative.

You could do no better . The distillating and compilation of how to order society and live one's life in accordance to the Will of God from Pope Leo XIII to Pope Pius XII is a blueprint for a healthy society and a happy life .

Recently I had a conversation with a young man (20) (I'm a 68 year old widow)who was taking me home from the dealership where my car was being serviced and we engaged in a few conversations about things you perhaps only speak about with longtime friends. After getting into several rather deep thoughts, asked me how to get his wife to do the household type chores that I had done naturally as a wife, it was rather startling to realize he actually wanted a person that he barely knew for real advice but I answered directly and completely. He actually didn't realize that he as a man needed to direct his wife(very kindly) and then explained his role as a man. He truly didn't know that he had a specific role in his marriage. Happily he returned my repaired car two days later a changed man, very happy and standing tall and confident, and thanked me rather clearly with no explanation and I of course didn't ask. My point, some young people just are not getting advice from parents, and society isn't telling the truth or perhaps are afraid to explain common sense things to young people. BTW, strongly directed him to get he and his wife to church, read the Bible together and pray together -which was another side conversation. Lord, please help this generation 🕊️

Oh he was blessed to meet you Siobhan. We have been raised to be perpetual children it seems. The want of practical wisdom is terrible, and leaves us alone in a maze of choices. This man's fortunate encounter with you shows how a small moment of magnanimity can make such a big difference. Well done.

A fascinating discussion, looking forward to reading more on this. I agree with your theory.

Oh thanks Lauren. I have a post coming out today which goes on about the liberal idea and that.

Absolutely spot on Frank. It is just phenomenal to see where humanity has landed now. I actually found a few of the scenes in the film ‘Nefarious’ really effective in exposing the ‘liberal’ mindset. This idea that ‘we’ve never been freer’ which is oft repeated. A total fallacy of course. God bless you. Glad to have discovered you on here.

Oh wow. Sorry for going on so much. I told Mike off air he should have a remote electrocution device to operate to shut me up.

Oh no, these are all very-very good and important insights. I usually print out your writings, process & learn them, so that these thoughts are integrated into my thinking & worldview. This is the veritas, and liberabit nos and gives our children hope in this world. (Before I received the diagnosis of our age from your writings, I was quite desperate) The Holy Spirit works through you!

He sends me links sometimes. I will try to find my old videos and put them up on the youtube channel. I think Mike has one now too. Will check.

My guy Curtis Yarvin :

“ So you ask your priest: if not, God, king and church what should I believe? Who is against God king and church? And your priest said: Satan. And so thinking logically you became a Satanist. This probably happened to you except it wasn’t a priest but a guidance counselor. The way the world works, never changes.

At least in the USA where I'm at, the label "Liberal Democracy" is itself a lie because the USA (and from what I know the UK as well) has over the last several decades hyper-centralized both political power and economic decision making in the private sector, while the political system has become more and more removed from most all people's ability to participate in it in any autonomous sense (in groups/geographic areas, I mean); so we absolutely do not have what people used to refer to as "Liberal Democracy" (or perhaps most people never used that phrase at all?). Or take the time period's you referenced, pre war or I guess we should say 19th century since the years just before the war had the board already set, well, those time periods are referred to as Liberal Democracy but they are very different than today, and in the case of the UK, they were very different than the years leading up to the war

five centuries of lies, beginning in earnest with the Jesuits.

Henry, please continue.

ignatius loyola, founder of the Jesuits was a crypto-jew. the Jesuits were founded in the 16th Century. the purpose of the Jesuits was to defend the church, above all...ie above the Bible and word of God. the method employed was 'learning against learning'.

the printing press (15th century) had revolutionised the situation in europe. more and more translations of the Bible in native tongues were being disseminated....causing a revolt against the hypocrisy of the catholic church. the church countered with executing the translators, firstly, but this proved insufficient. many brave souls met their fiery ends.

the jesuits changed the game. instead of persecuting the translators, they realised that the cat was outta the bag and all they could do was reclaim the authority of interpretation. ie people needed experts to interpret the word of God for them.

the jesuits infiltrated the educational institutions and began the centuries long process of pushing a heliocentric narrative,,,the narrative of copernicus.

the process was more or less complete once newton and darwin had added their two cents to the academic narrative, displacing earth and mankind from the centre of the cosmos....instead we became insignificant, a speck in an endless cosmic ocean with apparently no rhyme or reason to it....eventually we were left with a mechanical universe with no purpose and man relegated to being just another animal, which like all others evolved from a primordial soup (somehow).

in short the church was primarily worried about its power above all, its primary position in society....in time the power shifted from church to academy, but by this time the jesuits had control of the latter....so the power remained where it always had been.

At bottom we are talking about pure evil here. We are being subjected to a Satanic attack on western Christendom. Suggest you look at my Substack - Lastpost Bugle. My 9 Chronicles capture the same themes you develop. www.lastpost.net goes into a Christian evangelism strategy that targets what I call the two giants - Fascist Liberalism and Feudal Corporatism. Also my book NGC: Next Generation Church: A Church Resolved to Grow Expansively and Spark the Restoration of Western Civilisation.
