UPDATED: The end of Western civilization is here (VIDEO)

I don't want readers to think of me as one of those street-corner preachers, wearing a hair shirt and holding a sign saying "The end of the world is coming!" But, as I wrote in  "Not only the Vatican opposes woke gender ideology" (WWW 20/11/25), the end of our world -- of our Western (i.e. Christian) civilization -- is what the One-Worlders, including many Catholic hierarchs, are planning for us and pushing on us. 

Their replacement will be a New World Order of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in which all cultures are equal -- some more so than yours, dear reader -- and Christianity is replaced by the New World Religion of secular humanism, in which believers are their own gods and define their own morality. (Offer void where prohibited by Sharia law.)

The latest episode of Anthony Stine's Return to Tradition vlog, a priest who lost everything speaking the truth to the Church, has a new warning about the end of the Christian age.

Mr. Stine seems to assume that his followers already know of Father Donald Kloster. For those who don't, Fr. Kloster is a priest of the Diocese of Bridgeport CT, and a very traditional Catholic. Reader who would like to see and hear him are recommended to click here to see "What Vatican II Did and Did Not Do".

UPDATE AND WOW!!! (added at 1237 FMT): "State Dept. Warns Mass Migration an ‘Existential Threat’ to Western Civilization", Breitbart News, 22/11/25. The first two paragraphs:

"The United States government has warned that mass migration represents an 'existential threat' to Western civilization and has warned Europe against the continuing open borders policies and the creation of two-tier justice systems that favour foreigners over native populations. 

In a shot across the bow against the open borders ideology that has taken hold in the halls of power in many Western European capitals, the U.S. State Department urged its allies 'to take bold action and defend citizens against the threats posed by mass migration.'"

The ongoing "deculturation of Europe" can only result in the destruction of Western civilzation

Ray Oliver Dreher Jr, aka Rod Dreher, is an American conservative writer and editor living in Hungary. He is a critic of large-scale immigration to the US of A and Europe, and a staunch defender of  the concept of Western civilization.

Mr Dreher has been condemned by the usual suspects for his on Jean Raspail's 1973 novel The Camp of the Saints. To be fair, he strongly criticized the novel's use of derogatory language to describe non-Westerners and called the book bad, both aesthetically and morally. But he also referred to the "valuable" and "prophetic" lessons that can be drawn from the work, including from Raspail's argument, which Dreher presents as potentially correct, that "the only way to defend Western civilization from these invaders [non-Western immigrants] is to be willing to shed their blood."

He refers again to M Raspail's book in his diary entry published October 12th, headed Role Of Church Elites In Europe's Suicide. The subhead: "Christians Cannot Afford To Trust Ecclesial Leaders To Defend The Faith". A big thank-you to BCF for directing us to the Substack post, from which we take this excerpt:

...we all heard a speech by Thibault de Montbrial...[who] has a new book coming out in France next week, about what he regards as his country's "emergency" situation.... He warned that western Europeans should prepare themselves for mass violence at the level the continent...hasn’t seen since the end of World War II. That is to say (though he didn’t use this term), civil wars.... 

He explained that Islamists have managed to infiltrate both public and private institutions all over Europe, and are using it to their advantage. How did all this happen? 

De Montbrial, a practicing Catholic, said that the core of the problem is cultural — namely, that France (and Europe) has lost all sense of who and what it is. It has forgotten its past, and any sense of connection to it, and has lost its identity. (This is what Renaud Camus calls “The Great Deculturation”).

How do you expect young people to resist people (Muslims) who are hostile to Western civilization, and who have a strong culture, if you have produced a generation, or generations, of people who have no culture? 

[De Montbrial] said that in France, Muslim activists are even succeeding in winning over the hearts and minds of no small number of native-born French, by telling them, basically: "Look around you at what a nihilistic, pornified disaster modern Europe has become. Is that really what you want? Convert, join the ummah, and gain a story. Become part of the glorious march through history of the sons and daughters of the Prophet." It works, he said....

This, he went on, is why though France and other European countries have to use legal, political, and law enforcement means to fight this stuff, the core of the struggle is cultural. If Europe doesn’t recover its sense of history and culture, and in a meaningful way, such that its people are willing to fight to defend it, all will be lost.

A subsequent speaker made the point more explicit: at the heart of culture is cult, or religion. Either Europe re-Christianizes, or it Islamizes. There is no stable third option.

UPDATED 20/3: Saint Patrick's Day greetings to ye all!

Here we are again, another Saint Paddy's Day gone by and Eire still divided. Not that it matters as much as it did when you and I were young, Magee. Today's Ireland bears little resemblance to that for which our ancestors fought. 

Faith, didn't they elect a prime minister who's not only a brown furriner, but gay to boot! And didn't his very woke government just bring forward a prooposal to change the Republic's constitution away from traditional Christian family values? On March 8th, the government called on citizens to vote in two referendums called "the Family Amendment" and "the Care Amendment".

The first of these proposals asked to remove a reference to marriage as the basis "on which the family is founded" and replace it with a clause that says families can be founded "on marriage or on other durable relationships". Like "gay marriage", you see.

The care amendment proposed to remove women's role in the home, by deleting a statement that says "mothers shouldn't be obligated by economic necessity to engage in labour to the neglect of their home duties" and adding a clause saying the state will strive to support "the provision of care by members of a family to one another".  

Thanks be to God and the Blessed Virgin, the Plain Peepul of Ireland still have enough of the Faith to reject the proposed amendments. 67.69% of voters in the referendum said "NO" to the first amendment. The second, anti-family amendment, was rejected by 73.93%! Did the wokesters in Dublin really think the Irish were going to vote against motherhood?! 

Well, enough politics. To all the Irish -- including those who identify as Irish, those who feel like they're Irish, and those who wish they were Irish [and who doesn't?! Ed.] -- wherever they are -- in Derry, Sligo, Coleraine, Tullamore, Adjala Township and/or south Boston -- HAPPY SAINT PATRICK'S DAY TO YEZ. 

Recommended reading: na Gopaleen, Myles (pseudonym of Flann O'Brien): The Best of Myles, Picador 1977. 

In particular, Walt likes the chapters titled "The Brother" (how could yez not laugh?) and "The Plain People of Ireland". 

Many denizens of the auld sod won't be able to read the parts written in Irish Gaelic. [Faith now, I can't read it meself! Ed.] But the Irish are still the Irish, even if they live in a part of Ireland separated from the rest by the foreign (read: English) oppressors. God bless all of them, and haste the day that the Six Counties will be reunited with the rest of the country.

GREAT UPDATE added 20/3/24: "It's a long road that has no turnings." (Auld Irish saying.) Glory be! Ireland's "progressive" (read: woke as all get out) Prime Minister Leo Varadkar has announced he is resigning for "personal and political" reasons. 

This news comes less than two weeks after he was soundly defeated on a referendum (see above) to redefine marriage and the role of women in the nation's constitution. Click here to read the whole story on Breitbart News. St. Patrick must indeed be smiling on his people.

VIDEO: Why the weaponized FBI is targeting traditional Catholics

Last November, Most Rev. Joseph Strickland was "fired" by "Pope" Francis from his position as Bishop of Tyler (Texas). His crime? Opposing globalism, wokeism, and the leader of the New Church of the World Order. 

Following an apostolic visitation (a word with some interesting meanins) in September, several of Francis' cronies in the Vatican advised him Francis to pressure "Bishop Joe" to resign. But the good bishop refused to bend the knee! In October he penned an open letter to the faithful saying "[resigning] would be me abandoning the flock that I was given charge of by Pope Benedict XVI." 

On 31 October 2023, at the Rome Life Forum of LifeSiteNews, Bishop Strickland read out a letter (attributed to a "friend") which included the question: "Would you now allow this one [Francis] who has pushed aside the true Pope [Benedict XVI] and has attempted to sit on a chair that is not his define what the church is to be?" The letter also described Francis as an "usurper of Peter's chair" and "an expert at producing cowards". 

Bishop Strickland did not dispute these accusations, and described the letter as "challenging". He then made his own comment that Pope Francis backed the Vatican's "attack on the sacred". He was asked to resign on 9 November, and, after refusing again, was deposed on 11 November 2023.

But the prelate has not been silenced. He continues to stand up and speak up for the True Faith, whenever and wherever he can. Last week he spoke at CPAC at National Harbor Maryland. His subject was the FBI's investigation of traditional Catholics, revealed in hearings before the House Judiciary Committee last fall. See "New Report Details the Extent of the FBI's Weaponization of Law Enforcement Against Traditional Catholics".

Bishop Strickland was interviewed on this and related topics by Breitbart News' Matthew Perdie. Listen carefully as he gives a clear and concise explanation of why the liberals, wokesters, and Deep State have a hate-on for traditional Catholics and other Christians.

Key takeaway (at about the 5th minute):  “The Catholic Church is, and should be, totally opposed to this woke agenda … The Catholic Church should reject [the woke agenda] because it’s a rejection of God. It’s a rejection of who we are: created in the image and likeness of God... [Tyrannical leaders] are threatened by those who stand for the truth and won’t budge."

VIDEO: Dr Jordan Peterson on the true nature of the war in Ukraine

About a month ago, Dr Jordan Peterson (for whom Walt has all the time in the world!) wrote an article for the Daily Wire entitled "Russia Vs. Ukraine Or Civil War In The West?" In this thought-provoking piece, Dr Peterson listed the reasons why we're seeing an extended conflict in Ukraine, and explains why a culture war in the West has fueled the Russian fire.

Since the Daily Wire is accessible only to members, the article was not widely read or circulated. So Dr Peterson read it aloud on his YouTube channel. Click here to watch the entire video. It's over 51 minutes long. If you're thinking that's too much -- some other time, perhaps -- Ed. has prepared the clip below in which Dr Peterson sums up his message of warning.

We hope you will now be motivated to click on the link to the full video to understand why there's much more to the war in Ukraine than just resisting Russian imperialism. Those who, like Walt, cherish the ideal of a free and independent Ukraine, need to take a broader and deeper view of the conflict. 

We cannot be assured that we are on The Right Side until we understand the moral, philosophical and ideological positions of the combatants. If it comes down to a civil war between those who stand for the values of Christian civilization and those who espouse today's politically orthodox secular humanism, whose side should we take? 

Thanks to Agent 9 for pointing us in the right direction.

VIDEO: Bad shepherds are leading the faithful to hell!

In this homily, preached on 18 July 2021 (before Francis' bombshell ukase against the Traditional Latin Mass), Fr Thomas Dufner, of the Archdiocese of St Paul & Minneapolis, discusses the importance of good shepherds, and the great damage being done right now by bad shepherds within the Church. And he names one of them! (Spoiler: it's not Francis.) Worth every one of the eight minutes.

 

VIDEOS: The real reason why YouTube banned LifeSiteNews

The Great Censorship that was certain to follow the fraudulent victory of the "Democratic" candidate in the 2020 fake election is picking up steam. Having deleted hundreds of thousands of politically incorrect videos and "demonetized" channels like Remnant TV, YouTube has now started "nuking" -- permanently banning -- news and commentary channels who don't toe the liberal party line.

The first major site to fall is LifeSiteNews, a popular pro-life channel which had well over 300,000 subscribers. LSN is not only pro-life but also a strong voice for traditional Catholicism* -- a double whammy, as it were, in the fight to preserve the Christian values on which our society was founded.

Of course YouTube wouldn't say that the channel's politics informed their decision. LifeSiteNews editor-in-chief John-Henry Westen told the Catholic News Agency that YouTube did not provide "a specific reason for the deletion of the account." In this video, Mr Westen shows you the videos that got LifeSiteNews booted from YouTube.

CNA said yesterday that Google, YouTube's parent company, declared it had banned LifeSiteNews for "violating its coronavirus misinformation policy", including "content that promotes prevention methods that contradict local health authorities or WHO." They were apparently referring to a video posted in December but quickly deleted, in which a Canadian pathologist, Dr Roger Hodkinson, protested the "unfounded public hysteria" surrounding the coronavirus. You'll see that clip in Mr Westen's video. Check it out.

But was giving a platform to someone who told the truth about the Dempanic LSN's Really Big Sin? Nooo... If you didn't watch Mr Westen's video (above), you missed this clip (below) of a comment by Fox News host (pro tem) Tucker Carlson, who said on February 11th that the banning of LifeSiteNews was the latest move in "the most sweeping mass censorship campaign in the history of this country." Why did Google do it? Because, Mr Carlson says, "Google supports abortion. A lot of big corporations do."

Now that Sleepy Joe Biden, who has the temerity to call himself "Catholic" while at the same time supporting the funding of Planned Parenthood and the killing of unborn babies, has been elected -- and it's not just God that knows how! -- the "cancel culture" of the intolerant, undemocratic "liberals" and "progressives" has free reign to censor any and all voices of dissent.

The Italian Catholic journal Il Timone called YouTube's decision to ban LifeSiteNews a worrisome example of "a real campaign of censorship and blackout by internet giants" targeting conservatives and, in particular, pro-life voices. Il Timone called the cancelling of LifeSiteNews a "sensational example" of this campaign, because the pro-life site is so well established and "scores a huge number of visits every day from all over the world."

Dr Edward Furton, an ethicist at the National Catholic Bioethics Center, said the Center "condemns the arbitrary decision of YouTube to censor content simply because they find it disagreeable or in opposition to their own political views. YouTube is not staffed by scientists, but by engineers and technicians who understand little to nothing about scientific matters. Far worse, they favour a liberal ideology that supports abortion not only here at home but throughout the world. They believe that there is a universal right to kill the unborn. Such a view revokes their claim to moral superiority over others." 

The sad thing is that LifeSiteNews won't be the last to be killed by the Masters of the Internet Universe. NTD, Facts Matter with Roman Balmakov, TheRemnantVideo, and Dr Taylor Marshall are all in the cross-hairs. If you watch these channels (as Walt does), you'd better keep your eyes open for alternative points of access. Meanwhile, if you're still able to see them on YouTube, be sure to click "like" every time you watch! If you can subscribe, so much the better! The more viewers they have, the less likely it is that they'll fall victim to cancel culture!

* Footnote: The pro-life movement has many supporters who aren't traditional Catholics -- evangelical Christians, for example. LifeSiteNews maintains both a Catholic Edition and a Standard Edition, for those who are not as interested in the crisis in the Roman Catholic Church.

VIDEOS: Are your kids watching Sesame Street?

Sesame Street is good, right? Kids who watch it learn to count, they learn the alphabet, they learn to play nice with others... That was the case 50 years ago, when my kids watched. I watched too, and could do pretty good impressions of Grover (my favourite character), The Count and Bert and Ernie. All good clean fun, and educational too! What could go wrong?

Answer: plenty! Once the children's show got not just established but popular, the creators at the Children's Television Workshop (known now as Sesame Workshop) and their enablers at PBS became confident enough to start pushing their liberal, secular humanist, pro-queer agenda. Now the show is nothing but incessant propaganda for "diversity", "inclusiveness", and the current flavour of the month, gender ideology. Check this out.



Ah yes, some boys like to dress up as heroes, some like to play with dolls, some like to dress up as dolls. Right? Just in case the point was not clear, Sesame Street's producers announced this week that Billy Porter, a homosexual cross-dressing actor -- oh, he's black too! -- who is known to wear dresses on red carpets to posh Hollywood events, will be bringing his "fierce vibes" to the show, to do his bit to mold the minds of young viewers into the politically correct shape.

To the surprise of the show's creators, many fans have taken to social media to express outrage. According to Big League Politics, one parent said, "That is pushing [too] much at little children, it makes no sense, kids have [too] much on their little plates as it is. Why add more?"

Another viewer commented, "Sesame Street is for children. And diversity should be taught at a child appropriate level. A man in a dress is not child appropriate, in fact, it can be confusing. While striving to teach to 'be yourself' you're teaching boys who are masculine that it's not OK for them to be masculine."

This is nothing new. Check out the video, featuring our old buddy Gavin McInnes, posted in "Lefties demand white males be ashamed of being normal", 10/6/16.

Another Sesame Street fan asked, "As though our children are not confused enough. What is your agenda?" The agenda is clear enough. Sesame Street has been on the woke bandwagon for quite some time, pushing gender equality and gay marriage on children for years. It's all part of the whole pro-queer agenda. The victims are our children, who are subjected to this incessant propaganda and wind up confused and, all too often, abused. Watch this!



"Don't confuse me!" was posted over seven years ago, and the petition referred to at the end is long gone, but lots of people got the message. Lots of people, including (I hope) you, dear reader, know that the agenda being pushed by the "alphabet people" and their liberal enablers is morally wrong and a threat to our families. But we aren't standing up to them, and they're still at it, packing their fudge into the minds of kids who aren't young or sophisticated enough to know they're being groomed. Parents! Are you going to sit there and not do something, anything, to protest?

"What can I do?", I hear you ask. For starters, how about turning off the TV when Sesame Street comes on. There are many fine Christian TV shows for kids. Click here to visit Faithful Moms, "nurturing faith + faithfulness in our hearts & homes", for some suggestions. May God and His Blessed Mother guide and protect you and your children!

VIDEO: First Canadian Rosary Bowl to be held in Ottawa, August 22nd

Here's a heads-up for our Canadian Catholic readers! Keep the afternoon of Thursday, August 22nd clear for the first Rosary Bowl ever to be held in Canada, at TD Place in Ottawa.

What's a Rosary Bowl? And why is this one being held then and there? Dennis and Angelina Girard, founders of the Marian Devotional Movement, told LifeSite News that in 2017, the centenary of the Apparitions of Our Lady of Fatime, they vowed to restore devotion to the Rosary, following in the footstepts of Father Luc Desilets.

On Ascension eve in 1867, Fr Desilets went into the stone chapel at Cap-de-la-Madeleine, Québec, and found, to his horror, a pig beside the altar munching on a rosary. As M Girard relates the story, the young parish priest "picked up the mangled rosary, shooed the pig out of the chapel and said, 'Men have dropped the rosary and the swine have picked it up.'" Five years after making a vow to restore devotion to the Rosary in his parish, and re-establish enrollment in the Confraternity of the Holy Rosary, he had enrolled 3000 souls, and the parish that was dead, with a pig chewing a rosary, became too small for the number of parishioners.

The Rosary Bowl is the public recitation of the Rosary. As well, there will be brief remarks by Most Rev. Terrence Prendergast, Archbishop of Ottawa, and Bishop Pierre-Olivier Tremblay of Trois-Rivières QC.

The site is the stadium formerly known as Lansdowne Park, now called TD place, the home stadium for the Canadian Football League's Ottawa Redblacks. That wasn't the original plan! When the Girards were organizing a five-day pilgrimage from Ottawa to the Marian shrine at Cap-de-la-Madeleine, home of the miraculous statue of Our Lady of the Cape, who also bears the title of Our Lady of the Rosary, they planned only that pilgrims would visit the stadium which was the site of the massive five-day 1947 Marian Congress, when Canada's bishops consecrated the country to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

The Girards envisioned pilgrims strolling the grounds and comparing it to a photo of the historic Congress, which was attended by more than 1.5 million pilgrims, and numerous prelates, including Francis Cardinal Spellman of New York and József Cardinal Mindszenty of Hungary. But then the VP of communications for TD Place suggested the Girards actually use the stadium. "I can give you the field for free between 2 and 3, on the feast of the Queenship of Mary," he told them.

"Can you imagine?" said M Girard. "We’ve got this hour window on the feast of the Queenship of Mary, where we're coming to pray the rosary. We are returning to the exact holy ground where our country was consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary in 1947 and we're bringing a Pilgrim Statue of Our Lady of the Cape. And, of course, it's just a few weeks before the federal election as well, so we know Our Lady has orchestrated this, because we sure didn’t plan it."

"In the Catechism of the Catholic Church 1432," M Girard told LifeSite News, "you find out that conversion is first the work of God, and He does it by pouring grace on hardened hearts, so we need more grace. That's the idea, getting everybody to enroll, so you can unleash this torrent of grace upon the policy makers. And in a devotional sense, you can't beat a whole flock of people, the whole church, praying the Rosary together."

Click here for more information on the Rosary Bowl and the pilgrimage to Cap-de-la-Madeleine. And yes, we have a short (59-second) video. Here it is.



We encourage our readers -- not just Canadians but Americans and anyone who can get there -- to attend the Rosary Bowl (it's FREE) and other pilgrimage events. You will surely receive many graces for doing so, and it's just possible that your prayers may help Canada, which desperately needs conversion to turn away from the secular humanism espoused by its nominally Catholic prime minister, and turn back to God and the Christian values on which the country was built.

VIDEO: Venerable Fulton J. Sheen interviewed by Wm. F. Buckley Jr.

We have a long (53:20) and serious video for you, suitable for a Sunday when one should spend at least some time reflecting on higher matters. This is Episode 186 of Firing Line with William F. Buckley, Jr., recorded on 6 January 1970. Mr. Buckley's guest is Archbishop Fulton J.Sheen, whose earthly remains have recently been returned to the Diocese of Peoria and whose cause for beatification is now proceeding. Although the interview is almost half a century old, it still provides many insights which are relevant to a world which has become much worse in the intervening years.

Salvini commends Italy to the Blessed Virgin Mary - Pope displeased

On Tuesday, Walt told you about Italian Deputy Premier Matteo Salvini's speech on May 19th at a rally of populist leaders in Milan, in which he decried unchecked migration, pledging to close Europe's borders to migrants. He also attacked Islam, saying it mistreats women. He said Turkey would never be a part of Europe and rejected the label of extremists for the leaders with him.

"In this piazza, there are no extremists," said Sig. Salvini. "There are no racists. There are no fascists. If anything in Italy and in Europe, the difference is between who looks ahead, between who speaks of the future...instead of making trials of the past." The "piazza" to which he referred was the huge square in front of Milan's Duomo cathedral, in which 10s of 1000s had gathered to support the right-wing populist parties contesting the European Parliament elections, which are under way at this very moment.

In my earlier report, I concentrated on politics, but the fact is that the struggle to keep Europe European -- so to speak -- is not just political but religious, for European values, the values of civilization, are Christian values, and are under attack by both Islamists and secular humanists. Make no mistake! Europe is, at this very moment, a key battleground in the war against Christianity!

Sig. Salvini did not neglect to mention the religious struggle, and we are indebted to LifeSite News for reporting on this aspect of last Saturday's rally. In "Vatican leaders outraged as anti-immigration politician commends Italy to Mary", LS reveals that Sig. Salvini kissed a rosary as he commended his country, Italy, to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, to the cheers of the crowd.

He also appealed to the patron saints of Europe: Sts. Benedict of Norcia, Brigid of Sweden, Catherine of Siena, Cyril and Methodius. And he said, "I entrust Italy, my life, and your lives to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, who I'm sure will bring us to victory."

You would have thought that the leader of the world's billion-plus Catholics, the man who calls himself "pope" and professes his devotion to the Blessed Virgin, would applaud the Deputy Premier's action. You would be wrong. Francis (whose name was greeted with boos and catcalls) immediately sent out his henchmen to denounce Sig. Salvini's action.

Among them was the Jesuit editor Antonio Spadaro, a close confidant of Pope Bergoglio. Fr Spadaro is notorious among true Catholics for opposing an Italian law mandating that crucifixes be placed in all Italian public buildings. Further rebukes were added by the President of the European Bishops' Conference, and the Vatican Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin (aka The Man Who Would Be Pope - see "'Peter the Roman' ready to take over from Pope Francis", WWW 14/1/18).

Dear Catholic readers, the teaching of the true Catholic Church is: De Maria nunquam satis (Of Mary, never enough). Those like Pope Bergoglio and his Modernist acolytes and sycophants place themselves outside the True Faith on this as on so many other teachings. It is the Pope (if such he be) himself who should be publicly calling upon the Blessed Virgin Mary to turn him and his Modernist minions away from their heresies and back to the Catholic Faith. For that, let us pray.

Birth rate rising, abortion rate falling - Christian Hungary thriving!

An assiduous reader has asked why Walt has been focusing on the politics of Canada, Europe, even Africa, anywhere but the USA. The answer is simple. I am sick, sore and tired of what passes, these days, for politics in the Excited States of America. With Chuck and Nancy now the effective leaders of the opposition to Still-President Trump, the Democratic Party and (((controlled media))) are now in the terminal stages of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

In their efforts to obstruct and damage the President in any way possible, the Dems are now trying to accomplish through the criminal justice "system" what they have been unable to accomplish by political means. The latest example is their empty threat to issue a contempt citation if Attorney-General William Barr did not show up yesterday for a committee hearing on Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report. Of course they didn't.

While the circus under the big dome goes on... and on... I ask myself, is anybody minding the store? The country's economy, foreign policy, and (most important) security seem to have been put on hold while the Democrats pursue their "agenda of resistance". If anything significant -- a war, for instance -- is done by or to the American government, Walt will write about it. In the meantime, I'll comment on events, good and bad, in parts of the world which are not all stupidly crazy, all the time.

Like Hungary, for instance, where sanity of the Christian nationalist variety has triumphed over the secular humanist, one-world madness of (((George Soros))). On May Day, the Voice of Europe reported that Hungary, which, under the firm leadership of Viktor Orbán, embraced both nationalism and Christian values, is thriving! Marriage rates are rising, the number of abortions is falling, and Christian Hungary is seeing the highest birthrates in two decades.

This demographic turnaround has not been an accident, but the fruit of deliberate programs to promote marriage and the family while defending Hungary's cultural identity and Christian roots. The article quotes Catalan Novak, the nation's Minister for the Family -- imagine the USA having one of those?! -- as saying, “After we won the election in 2010 with a two-thirds majority, we decided to build a family-friendly country and to strengthen families raising children."

A family-friendly country! Wow! What a concept! If we brought that idea into our country, we might even see a resurgence of family values! Standing firm in its position despite fierce opposition from the socialists and one-worlders (whose real goal is ethnic replacement) left, the Orbán government enacted legislation resulting in what Ms Novak calls "a comprehensive family-support system, a family-friendly tax system, a housing program, 800,000 new jobs, and many opportunities to create a balance between life and work."

"We are living in times when fewer and fewer children are being born throughout Europe. People in the West are responding to this with immigration", Prime Minister Orbán said in last February's State of the Nation address in Budapest. "Hungarians see this in a different light. We do not need numbers, but Hungarian children!"

Similarly, IMHO, what our AABC countries (America, Australia, Britain and Canada) need is not more immigrants, but more AABC children. Call that "white supremacy" if you like, but it's working in Hungary!

VIDEO: More on the meaning of the Notre Dame fire

This for all the non-Catholics out there who can't understand why Walt and others are making such a big fuss about the partial destructionby fire of the cathedral of Notre Dame de Paris. In "Notre Dame in flames: part of the Great Chastisement?" (WWW 16/4/19) I saw the tragedy as evidence of God's displeasure with the modern Roman Catholic Church. A similar view was expressed by Michael Matt in "Notre Dame will rise again!" (WWW 17/4/19).

But Notre Dame was... still is... much more than a house of worship for Christians. The building itself embodies and symbolizes the history and culture of European civilization, for the history of Christianity is the history of Europe and the entire Western world. That stone truth is discussed in this video by Bill Whittle and the men of Right Angle. As far as I know, none of the 3 is Catholic is Catholic, and that's just the point.



Notre Dame is immensely important as a symbol of Western civilization. If it is not rebuilt, or if it is "modified" to make it "more modern" and "inclusive" -- say by putting an Islamic crescent at the top of a new spire -- that would represent the finality of the decline of the West. Now is the time to resurrect not just the cathedral but of the ideas and values that informed the building of the cathedral. God save Notre Dame... and God save us Christians!

Church should NOT promote mass migration: Cardinal Sarah

Jorge Bergoglio, aka Pope Francis [Some are starting to call him "Anti-pope". Ed.], is a big believer in mass migration. Channeling (((Emma Lazarus))), the Unholy Father keeps admonishing us to be more welcoming of "refugees", asylum-seekers, and other flotsam and jetsam who wash up on the shores of Europe, especially if they're Muslims (as 95% of them are) because "we all worship the same God" and other heretical rubbish. Not everyone agrees.

One high-ranking dissident who has mustered up the courage to speak out is Robert Cardinal Sarah, a prelate from the African state of Guinea. Raised to the rank of Cardinal in 2010, he was appointed prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments by Pope Francis in November of 2014. He previously served as secretary of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples under Pope John Paul II, and president of the Pontifical Council Cor Unum under Pope Benedict XVI.

Cardinal Sarah has for years been a forceful advocate for the defence of traditional Catholic teaching on questions of sexual morality and the right to life, and in denouncing Islamic radicalism. He has called gender ideology and ISIS the "two radicalizations" that threaten the family, the first through divorce, same-sex marriage, and abortion, and the latter with child marriage, polygamy, and the subjection of women.

This week, in an interview with the French magazine Valeurs Actuelles, Cardinal Sarah branded mass migration a "new form of slavery" and said those who seek to use the Bible to promote migration are pushing a false interpretation of the scriptures. "It is a false exegesis to use the Word of God to promote migration," the prelate said. "If Europe disappears, and with it the invaluable values of the old continent, Islam will invade the world. And we will totally change culture, anthropology, and moral vision."

Without naming Pope Bergoglio, Cardinal Sarah blasted priests and bishops who "say fuzzy things, vague, imprecise, to escape criticism, and they marry the stupid evolution of the world." He went on to say that the Church should not cooperate with the increasing acceptance by politicians of mass migration into the traditionally Christian continent. "All migrants who arrive in Europe are penniless, without work, without dignity.... This is what the Church wants?" he asked. "The Church can not cooperate with this new form of slavery that has become mass migration. If the West continues in this fatal way, there is a great risk that, due to a lack of birth, it will disappear, invaded by foreigners, just as Rome has been invaded by barbarians."

He added one more thought: "My country is predominantly Muslim. I think I know what reality I'm talking about." Indeed.

VIDEO: Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson speaks up for school dress codes

During the run up to the recent by-election in the Canadian electoral district of Burnaby South (BC), Walt reposted some videos featuring Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson, the candidate for the People's Party of Canada. See "People's Party candidate kills at Burnaby South debate", WWW 16/2/19, "PPC's Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson and NDP's Sikh leader in heated debate on immigration and 'racism'", WWW 22/2/19, and "LLTT tells why she ran for the People's Party of Canada", WWW 26/2/19.

Ms Tyler Thompson did pretty well in her first run for a brand new party of the right, finishing a respectable fourth. People voted for her because of her strong public positions against abortion and in favour of Christian values. Good for her! And I'm so happy to see that she hasn't retired from the field, or biding her time until the general election due in October. No. She's back on the video stump, speaking out on an issue which is dividing communities in the BC community of Chilliwack (as well as the rest of Canada and the USA).

The issue is that of whether schools should have dress codes which require students (read: girls) to dress with respect for modesty and decency, rather than the slutty look encouraged by the lamestream media and the wimmin's lib crowd. The issue was debated recently by Chilliwack school trustees. The local CTV outlet covered the debate, giving it the usual "progressive" slant. LLTT found the CTV report and the debate itself shocking, and decided to put her comments together with several clips from the debate to make her point.

Ms Tyler Thompson characterizes the actions and perspectives of the "pro-removal of dress code" trustees and BC Teachers Federation President Glen Hansman, "extremely creepy and dangerous!" She accuses them of wanting to bring in the SOGI agenda: a sex-positive culture where social norms, values and morals don't exist. Those who promote this new agenda want to remove a dress code that protects young women from harassment and being objectified. They want to bring in a policy that makes it perfectly acceptable to allow teenagers' bra straps, cleavage, short shorts and their underwear to be showing.

In this video, LLTT calls it "very disturbing and sick" for an adult female (Board Vice-Chair, Willow Reichelt) and her male colleagues to be pushing for the removal of all semblance of modesty, appropriate attire and protection for young vulnerable women. She calls this incessant push to make what's right wrong, and what's wrong right, "social terrorism". Good phrase, that.



I like the way Ms Tyler Thompson ends this commentary. She reminds Canadians -- and not only Canadians -- that in an election year they should vote for those who stand for "justice, truth, integrity, values and principles." And, she concludes, "God help us all!" Amen.

Leon DeWinter: Not the citizen but the small elite chooses

As promised, here is the English translation of the opinion piece by Leon DeWinter which appeared in the December 12th edition of the Dutch newspaper, De Telegraaf. Thanks to Agent 69 for sending this and providing the translation as well.

Throughout Europe, citizens look powerlessly at the decisions of ruling political‐cultural classes that deal with awe‐inspiring issues.

One such issue is mass migration. The welfare states, according to the elites, must open their borders to non‐Western migrants. The welfare state does not exist outside the Western Protestant nation states, or: its religious‐cultural identity is of crucial importance. Do immigrants with non‐Western religious cultures disturb the welfare state, which is an impressive function of the cultures of northern European peoples? Can the welfare state survive if it also needs to be an immigration state? The elites claim that this is possible ('Wir schaffen das') but refuse to mention the confusing consequences that disrupt mutual trust: chronic unemployment, high crime rates, religious backwardness.

And the energy problem? There are scientists who think differently about climate change than the elites, but moderates and skeptics have not been heard by parliament. They also do not speak in the media. And if that does happen, they are put away as 'deniers' ‐ in the sense of Holocaust deniers, so genocidal climate killers.

Since the beginning of parliamentary democracy in the nineteenth century, 'climate' has never been on the agenda of parliament and government. This subject is larger than any other subject, apart from war, and has only existed for two decades; the choices that our elites make as a result of this have enormous consequences for the energy supply, and thus for the foundations of our society.

Today, in The Hague and in Brussels, themes are so extensive that they transcend the field of politics. But the decision‐making process has remained the same. On the basis of a vote issued by the civilian population once every four years, a small elite claims the right to change our society existentially and forever. They do not want to realize that the gigantic extent of the problem is not in balance with that
one election vote.

Brussels has processes that are intentionally complex and largely invisible. The unification of Europe has been set up from the beginning as a 'top‐down' project: the elites lead their peoples to an ever closer form of living together, which ultimately leads to a real union led from a powerful center. For this, the nation states, and everything that belongs to them culturally, such as patriotism, nationalism, ethnic and religious identity, must be watered down. The people involved are not asked for approval while they are being rummaged into a union.

Just like migration, the so‐called energy transition shakes society to its foundations. Here the elites claim apocalyptic problems; if they really are so colossal, should citizens nevertheless express themselves through binding referendums on the need to adapt the fabric of society to the smallest fibers?

In the back rooms in the Hague, the unelected stakeholders discussed the energy transition. Many hundreds of billions have to finance the build‐up of geothermal energy, solar energy and wind turbines. Yield: in 2100 a heating reduction of 0.0003 Celsius (if the calculation models correctly predict the warming, which is still the question).

The elites have annexed and closed the major themes of our time for those who disagree with them ('racist', 'Islamophobic', 'sexist', 'fascist', 'Jew‐hater'). The so‐called 'populism' is a direct reaction to this. Just like the Yellow Hesjes. Just like Trump and the rise of the Alternative für Deutschland.

Most media behave like state propaganda organs as their journalists inhabit the same ideological and cultural cosmos as the political elites. Thus politicians, without being denounced by most media, can propose propaganda and censorship models in the Marrakesh Pact that until recently only occurred in tyrannies. They are counting on the powerful online companies to censor unwelcome messages. They do so eagerly because their directors also live in that cosmos.

Due to migration and energy adjustments, Western life patterns come under pressure, and many Europeans realize this, most of whom are reasonably satisfied with their current existence. Numerous middle groups, better educated and better informed by the Internet than any other generation in
human history, conclude that they are pawns in a transnational, globalistic chess game of intellectual and political upper layers, often organized in elusive NGOs, the shock troops of the left, who work with government subsidies and donations from just as elusive billionaires. The 'common man' should not curse but -- submissive and meat‐free and sugar‐free -- follow the visionary elites when they go to the diversity, gender, climate, migration and identity paradise.

I'm curious how long this goes on before the bomb really bursts.

Indeed. We are all waiting to see when the balloon goes up... and who goes with it!

Christian crosses ordered to be hung in all government offices

Really! But (Walt hears you ask) where? Surely not in the AABC countries (America, Australia, Britain and Canada). `Struth, mate...surely not. But this is in "post-Christian" western Europe, specifically... wait for it... Germany! Well, in Bavaria, the most Catholic of all German states. Really.

As one of his first acts in office, Markus Söder, Bavaria's newly sworn-in state premier, has ordered that crosses be hung in all government buildings in the southern German state, by June 1st. He called the move an "avowal of Bavarian identity and Christian values."

Herr Söder said the directive was not a violation of constitutional rules about religious neutrality, the Premier explained, because it was a symbol of "Bavarian identity" rather than religion. He told the meeja that after the cabinet meeting at which the decision was made, he had immediately gone out to hang a cross in the lobby of the state chancellery in Munich.

The directive applies only to buildings housing agencies of the state of Bavaria, including all courts and school classrooms, but not local district buildings or federal buildings, over which the Bavarian government has no authority. It comes amid heated public debate over the role of religion in Germany society. Angela Merkel publicly rebuked her interior minister, Horst Seehofer, earlier this year after he claimed "Islam has no place in Germany."

Herr Söder, leader of the Christian Social Union (the Bavarian sister party to Frau Merkel's Christian Democrats), took over the premiership from Herr Seehohofer when the latter joined Frau Merkel's hastily cobbled-together coalition government in March. In spite of the criticism of his Islamophile boss, Herr Seehofer has steadfastly refused to walk back his statement or change his views on the issue.

Walt says Herzliche Glückwünsche to both of the courageous Christian politicians. God bless them, and send us in the politically correct AABC countries some politicians who will stand up for the Faith of our fathers!

A stark warning to the West from Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán

Credit where credit is due. What follows are key quotes from a speech given recently by the prime minister of Hungary, Viktor Orbán, as reported by Jack Montgomery on Breitbart News.

In a speech on Hungary's National Day, March 15th, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán issued a stark warning to the peoples of Europe, telling them that "Europe is now under invasion", and that "the empire of (((George Soros)))" is seeking to "break Hungary" for standing in its way.

"The situation, dear friends, is that there are those who want to take our country from us," he said. "Not with the stroke of a pen, as happened one hundred years ago at Trianon; now they want us to voluntarily hand our country over to others, over a period of a few decades. They want us to hand it over to foreigners coming from other continents, who do not speak our language, and who do not respect our culture, our laws or our way of life: people who want to replace what is ours with what is theirs.

"What they want is that henceforward it will increasingly not be we and our descendants who live here, but others. There is no exaggeration in what I have just said. Day by day we see the great European countries and nations losing their countries: little by little, from district to district and from city to city. The situation is that those who do not halt immigration at their borders are lost: slowly but surely they are consumed.

"External forces and international powers want to force all this upon us, with the help of their allies here in our country. And they see our upcoming election as a good opportunity for this. National and globalist forces have never squared up to each other so openly. We, the millions with national feelings, are on one side; the elite 'citizens of the world' are on the other....

"We who believe in nation-states, the defence of borders, the family and the value of work are on one side, and opposing us are those who want open society, a world without borders or nations, new forms of family, devalued work and cheap workers -- all ruled over by an army of shadowy and unaccountable bureaucrats. On one side, national and democratic forces; and on the other side, supranational and anti-democratic forces."

Prime Minister Orbán was clear that, in his view, the consequences for Europe of acquiescing to the European Union implementing what his government has described as the "Soros Plan" would be dire: "This is our homeland, this is our life, and we have no other."

He declared that his party, Fidesz, would "fight for it to the end and never surrender." But he acknowledged the strength of the forces arrayed against it, which seek to "break Hungary, which stands in the path of immigrants; and settle thousands, then tens upon tens of thousands of immigrants in Hungary within a few years.

"Europe is now under invasion," he added. "The western half of Europe looks at all this with its hands raised in surrender. Those who raise their hands have laid down their weapons, and will never again decide their own fate. The history of the defeated will later be written by others. The young of Western Europe will see this when they become minorities in their own countries, and they have lost the only place in the world that could be called home."

Finally, he warned that "Forces are appearing, the like of which the world has not seen for a long time. In Africa, there will be ten times as many young people as in Europe. If Europe does nothing they will kick down the door on us. Brussels is not defending Europe and it is not halting immigration, but wants to support it and organize it. It wants to dilute the population of Europe and to replace it, to cast aside our culture, our way of life and everything which separates and distinguishes us Europeans from the other peoples of the world.

"It will be small consolation," Mr Orbán concluded, "that the peoples of Europe will not forgive those leaders who completely changed Europe without first asking its people."

PC police hound Christians for refusing to say Easter Bunny is real

You couldn't make this stuff up. A Christian couple from Hamilton ON had to go all the way to the province's Superior Court to be allowed to continue acting as foster parents. Why? Because the Children's Aid Society took away the girls they were fostering because the pair refused to tell the children that the Easter Bunny is real!

The court was told that CAS support worker Tracey Lindsay had visited Frances and Derek Baar to see how the girls, aged 3 and 5, were getting along. Although Ms Lindsay acknowledged that the girls looked well cared for in all respects, she was horrified to find that the Baars had neglected or (gasp) refused to teach the girls about the Easter Bunny! The Hamilton Children's Aid Society said it expected staff and foster parents to put aside their "personal beliefs and values" when caring for children who are coming from "different settings".

The Baars told Ms Lindsay they intended to hide chocolate eggs and have the girls find them on Easter and play other games, but didn't plan to speak to the children about the Easter Bunny, unless the girls specifically asked questions about the character. Describing themselves as a Christian couple with "strong religious faith", they argued that telling children in their care that the Easter Bunny is real was contrary to their religious beliefs.

In a rare win for common sense over political correctness -- and for Christian values over secular humanism -- Superior Court Judge A.J. Goodman agreed with the Baars. He found that the couple did try to have the children enjoy holidays such as Easter and Christmas. "There is sufficient evidence to assert that the Baars did, indeed, attempt to preserve the children's enjoyment of the holidays, even of they were not able, pursuant to their religious beliefs, to positively perpetuate the existence of the fictitious characters that are associated with those holidays," wrote the judge.

Mr Justice Goodman went on to say, "There is ample evidence to support the fact that the children were removed because the Baars refused to either tell or imply that the Easter Bunny was delivering chocolate to the Baars' home. I am more than satisfied that the society actions interfered substantially with the Baars' religious beliefs." Those beliefs, he concluded, include the couple's belief that it is wrong to lie.

Mr and Mrs Baar have been vindicated, but they will no longer be taking in foster children in Liberal Ontario. They have moved to Alberta, where political correctness is said to be somewhat less pervasive. We close with a small graphic reminder of the main point to this story.

A modest suggestion: the Christian Republic of America!

Since the rise of the Taliban, al-Qaeda and ISIS, and the beginning of the Gulf Wars, American presidents have routinely told the sheeple that the jihadis are trying to kill us because they hate us. Why so? Democratic presidents say it's because the USA has freedom and democracy and equal rights for wimmin and gays and vizmins, yada yada yada. Republicans say it's because the camel jockeys are jealous of America's wealth, high standard of living, freedom and democracy, yada yada yada.

There is some truth in all of that, but the real reason why the Islamic terrorists are so devout, so strong in their Muslim faith that they're willing to die for it -- never mind about the 72 virgins -- goes deeper than that. It has to do with Islamic values, in which they believe, as contrasted with Christian values, which we say we believe, but really don't.

I was thinking about that on Sunday when Father Duffy was preaching a good Lenten homily about turning away from sin and turning back to the Gospel. (That's what priests in the mainstream Church say nowadays when they make the Sign of the Cross on your forehead with ashes. What ever happened to "Remember man ["person"? Ed.] that thou art dust and unto dust thou shalt return!" But I digress...)

I confess that my mind wandered a bit from what the good Father was saying to a passage I read in The State of Africa, by Martin Meredith (rev. 2011, Simon & Schuster), a worthwhile analysis of how the Dark Continent (including, in this case, the Arab north) came to be in its present parlous state. In Chapter 25 [It's not a short book. Ed.], "In the Name of the Prophet", the author introduces readers to Sayyid Qutb, "an Egyptian intellectual-activist whose writings influenced generations of radical Islamists.

"Once an admirer of the West and Western literature, he...turned into a formidable critic as a result of a two-year stay in the United States in the late 1940s, appalled by what he saw as its moral decadence, its materialism, racism and sexual depravity. Returning to Egypt in 1951, he became a leading figure in the Muslim Brotherhood...."

"Moral decadence, materialism, racism and sexual depravity." Indeed. And that was in the 1940s! Before the hippy-dippy `60s, when, IMHO, our Western society really began to fall apart. Those things -- particularly moral decadence and sexual depravity -- are all contrary to the values and principles of life taught by Our Lord Jesus Christ and enjoined by His Church. Yet today, those are hallmarks of our so-called Christian society.

Sayyid Qutb became one of the leading voices of the Islamic revolution, calling for the establishment, by force if necessary, of a pan-Arab theocratic state -- an Islamic republic -- in which the evils of Western society would be rejected and a society established which would be run according to the strict Islamic principles of Sharia law.

A theocratic state, like today's Islamic Republic of Iran, in which the Seven Deadly Sins are punished not just in the next world but here on earth. What would it be like, I thought, if the Ten Commandments were strictly followed in Western society. If, say, people had their  hands cut off for stealing or were stoned to death for adultery, as they sometimes are under Sharia Law.

The thought made me cringe. Here in the "Christian West" we can do what we want. We can make all the graven images we want. Or commit "serial monogamy", which is really just adultery licensed by the state. Or kill millions of innocent children and be paid by the state for doing it. Or perform every kind of what used to be called "unnatural acts".

The state doesn't care. The mainstream Church herself has pretty much stopped preaching against these sins, because... well... "everybody's doing it". Those bemoaning the fact that our Western society has "lost its moral compass" might well consider the alternative presented by Islam -- a theocracy, a confessional state with a state religion and strict laws against all those things which we know are wrong but tolerate in ourselves and others because we don't want to appear old-fashioned and (horror of horrors) religious!

How about establishing "the Christian Republic of America"? That's my brilliant idea for a better society:"One nation under God." Oh... wait... Really??? But I didn't think it would look like this!
