Jenner For High Office: The Ultimate Allegory

Drudge has splashed as a red headline right now “[Bruce] Jenner open to running for political office”.

There could be no more perfect allegory than for a clinically batshit insane from somatic Diabolical Narcissism white man, who has voluntarily chopped off his own penis and testicles and now parades around in drag pretending to be a woman, to be elected to high public office in the former United States.

Yes.

YES.

Former ‘Murcia, cut the crap with this limping into these penny-ante pots. Own your seven-deuce off-suit, borrow a hundred trillion in chips, and push that stack all-in.

GO BIG, OR GO HOME.

“Bruce Jenner: I’ll do to the budget what I did to my d***.”

 

 

Three TOLDYAs and Something Beautiful

Toldya#1:

Conscienceless Psychopath Murderer Aaron Hernandez was also a … wait for it… sodomite.

Huh.  It’s almost as if the whole shameless, remorseless, conscienceless, diabolical narcissism thing is somehow correlated to or begets sexual perversion.  Hmmm. Someone should make a video about that, or something.

But Ann! But Ann! Most guys in prison engage in sodomy! You can’t judge Hernandez’ actions while in prison!

Um, first, yes I sure as hell can. As someone for whom being imprisoned is a possible eventuality, let me assure you that I would die – DIE – before being coerced into any sexual activity, much less aberrosexual behavior. DIE.

Second, Hernandez was a fag outside of prison, and apparently murdered one of his victims because the victim knew that Hernandez was a fag, and was threatening to tell Hernandez’ girlfriend.

Remember folks, aberrosexuality and criminality go hand-in-hand precisely because both are derivative of the same over-arching pathology: Diabolical Narcissism, that is when a human being voluntarily purges all love from their soul – just like the demons freely chose to do.  Hence the term “DIABOLICAL Narcissism”. While many folks are shocked that Hernandez, a big butch football player covered in tattoos, was a fag, I can’t say that I am.  Evil is evil. Criminals are criminals. And sodomy is a crime, according to both the Natural Law and the Divine Law. It’s all of a piece.

And one more reminder.  The gravest form of sexual crime is SACRILIGIOUS sodomy and/or fornication.  Know anyone, cleric or layperson, who has sex/sodomy with priests or religious? Well, their sins make Hernandez look like a damn piker.

And, it bears mentioning, in true Diabolical Narcissist fashion, Hernandez scrawled “John 3: 16” on his forehead and also – which most reportage leaves out – used the same red marker to draw the Five Wounds of Christ on his hands, feet and side.  Yeah.  Because Aaron Hernandez, drug-addled murdering sodomite, was a victim like Jesus, or something.  Typical.

TOLDYA #2

Paul Craig Roberts penned a piece that was brought to my attention today wherein he posits that the Trump presidency might just be a big marketing racket to Trump. I quote Roberts now:

Where is Trump? As far as I can tell from the numerous emails I receive from him, he is at work marketing his presidency. Once Trump won the election, I began receiving endless offers to purchase Trump baseball caps, T-shirts, cuff-links, coffee mugs, and to donate $3 to be entered into a raffle to win some memorabilia. The latest offer is a chance to win one of “personally signed five incredible photographs of our historic and massive inauguration.”

For Trump, the presidency is a fund-raising device. If his VP, National Security Advisor, Secretary of Defense, UN Ambassador, CIA Director, whoever, want to start wars wherever, that’s just more memorabilia to raffle off for a $3 donation.

Ya think?  Look folks, Trump is WAY the hell in over his head. He is NOT an intelligent man.  The open reportage is that he watches cable news all day.  What genuinely intelligent person watches cable news?  And worse, he watches his “enemies” and then sits around and plans how to retaliate. Never mind that the sucking maw of the healthcare system is about to go supernova.  No.  Trump needs to spend his days figuring out how to “fire back” at Rachel Maddow. And the no-talents at Saturday Night Live. It reminds me of the people who spend hours upon hours having pissing matches in Facebook and Twitter echo chambers – and think that they’re actually doing something.

*Hey, I’ll fully admit that Barry Soetoro Obama watched ESPN all day, and Trump clearly isn’t into “big, sweaty mens” like Obama is, so he watches Cable News.  It’s a step up, but not much of one.

TOLDYA #3

Chris Ferrara of The Remnant Newspaper published a piece late last week over at FatimaPerspectives.com that reads very much like an all-but endorsement of the “Canon 188 Substantial Error Thesis” that I put forth last summer which, I believe, is the explanation of how Antipope Bergoglio has usurped the See of Peter, and Pope Benedict XVI Ratzinger remains the one and only living pope, never having validly resigned.  I’ll let you read Chris’ piece HERE.

SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL

Look!  Young people being excellent! And such beauty! There is such a haunting sadness in Russian vocal harmony. And the lyrics, even in translation, are exquisite.

And no, I do NOT believe that Russia has been consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary yet per Our Lady of Fatima’s order almost exactly one hundred years ago.  No serious person does.

Mailbag: Electroconvulsive Therapy Edition

Ann,

Thank you so much for your gracious Easter greeting !!

Of course, it obviously only applies to people that think and believe EXACTLY as you do. Anyone else, especially FAGGOTS can rot in Hell for all you care. [Sometimes I think, “Would that it were…” but then I remember that the day I don’t care whether or not the faggots burn in hell for all eternity is the day I will have descended into Diabolical Narcissism as they have, devoid of all charity, even if I never manifest particularly as a filthy, execrable sex pervert. It is the Enemy’s clear angle of attack on me, and I am aware of it.]

You are seriously delusional, paranoid, and psychotic. You should have been committed long ago. [Well, rent would sure as hell be lower, although I dare say the view wouldn’t be quite as good.] In days past, you would have been put in a straightjacket, locked in a padded cell, given daily injections of Thorazine [Since I am not schizoid I think the worst that would happen to me is bloating, which I would indeed find MOST annoying]  and frequent Electroconvulsive Therapy treatments [Can that be targeted on the abdominals? I think rich people pay big bucks for that.] If only you could get all of this now – it would help you tremendously. [It is always for “our own good” with you post-modernists, isn’t it? Let me know when and where you get your first guillotine set up. Liberté, égalité, fraternité… ou la mort!]

Ah, the good old days – when there were a lot less lunatics [I think the term you are looking for is CATHOLICS, believing, practicing, orthodox CATHOLICS] like you wandering about and spewing your filthy venom all over the place on the internet. [A few decades ago, people like me were nominal, and people like you were wallowing in the gutters of Amsterdam, Berlin, Bangkok and San Francisco. And by the way, Bruce Jenner is a man.]

You need help. Right away. I’ll pray for you. [I recommend especially St. Philip Neri.  Trust me.]

Easter ARSH 2017 – The Feast Continues

Easter is a whole week, folks.  It’s called an Octave.  Every day in Easter Week is a First Class Feast.

I, for one, have been sacrificing myself for science, attempting to answer definitively that age-old question, is it possible to overdose on maple syrup and mustard glazed ham?

Alas, I do not yet have sufficient data, and thus experiments will need to continue.

For science.

I can report that I have emerged from the Porkabetic Coma, am now once again able to stand upright and even walk, so back to work.

Happy Easter to one and all!

 

Tenebrae

The most anticipated liturgical event of the year for me personally is here again: Tenebrae, the Offices of Matins and Lauds, generally anticipated to the night before. Enter into Our Lord’s suffering, betrayal, heartbreak and agony as He speaks to us through the Psalms, and the Lamentations of Jeremiah.  Go tonight, Thursday and Friday if you possibly can.

It is traditional and befitting to depart from the church after Tenebrae maintaining silence.  There will be plenty of time for chatting after the Easter Vigil, or on Easter Sunday. Take Tenebrae home with you. Keep it with you all year.

Abu Ivanka: And Their Women Have Ruled Over Them

I have received a few “You were right about Trump” emails since the Syrian bombing.  I get the sense that at least some people are shaking off this insane Trumpolatry, and are willing to perhaps listen.  As Trump folds and capitulates to the Washington DC Soros NewWorldOrder machine on item after item, and has now, with the Syria thing, pretty much gone full prostrate before them, and people are seriously talking about the outbreak of hot, nuclear war with Russia, are we ready to turn off the pseudo-professional wrestling kayfabe show and return to dealing with reality?  If so read on.

I have been struck all along by the prominence of Trump’s eldest daughter, Ivanka, as not just a public relations face, but as a policy driver.  It was reported widely in the hours after the Syria bombing that Trump was very heavily influenced to sign off on the Washington NWO/Soros/Pentagon plan of escalation in the Levant theater by Ivanka – in a situation in which we know, and Trump first among them should know, ALL intelligence from the (former) U.S. intelligence agencies, including that supplied to the Commander-in-Chief is riddled with outright lies, and that the use of false flag attacks meant to disorient with double, triple and quadruple crosses is now the order of the day.  In this environment, Trump relies heavily on the sentimental mewings of… Ivanka?

Do you realize that in the Arab world, Trump is now being referred to as “Abu Ivanka”?  Abu means father, so they are now insulting him by calling him not by his own name, but as “The Father of Ivanka”.

Let’s talk about Ivanka.

We, who bothered to read up on things, knew from the very outset of this farce that Ivanka is a hard-leftist and that her husband, Jared Kushner, is tied up with Soros.  Well, shock!  She was, after all, a member of the Paris Hilton/Kim Kardashian social set for years.  Do you honestly think that anyone of any wisdom or integrity would associate with scum like that?  Now granted, Ivanka Trump has probably 20 IQ points on Paris Hilton, and at least 30 IQ points on the Kardashian slimesses, but folks, that is the definition of damning with faint praise.  Ivanka is particularly keen on the global warming fraud, and has already brought “global warming” communist front groups to the White House.

Now, let’s talk about Ivanka personally.

Ivanka Trump is a FORMAL APOSTATE from Christianity.  Yep.  She formally apostasized, that is, she renounced her baptism and denied that Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is God Incarnate who died for the sins of the world, so that she could marry her husband, Jared Kushner, who, did I mention, has Soros connections up to his eyebrows?  Kushner is now one of Trump’s senior advisors, and even was sent to Iraq last week. This Kushner kid is a snot-nosed hedge fund punk, and something quite rare, a practicing Talmudic Jew.  So, Ivanka had to formally renounce Jesus Christ in order to marry Kushner, and they are now raising their children as “observant” Talmudic Jews.

Ivanka Trump’s children are not baptized.

Three of Donald Trump’s grandchildren are not baptized. And his apostate daughter and son-in-law who are responsible for this horror are his two top advisors.

Tell me again about Donald Trump’s deep Christian faith. I’m all ears.

Might I suggest that a campaign of Rosaries and Masses for the conversion of Jared, Arabella, Joseph and Theodore Kushner, and the reversion from aspostasy of Ivanka Trump be organized and undertaken?

I mean, if Ivanka Trump is your de facto “president”, who will possibly lead you into global nuclear conflagration, don’t you owe it to her pray for her and her family?

Man, you simply could not make this stuff up.  I hesitate to joke about next Bruce Jenner being named Secretary of Defense, because at this rate, it could totally happen.

I am reminded of Isaiah chapter 3, verse 12…

As for my people, their oppressors have stripped them, and women have ruled over them.
Populum meum exactores sui spoliaverunt, et mulieres dominatae sunt eis.

Christ, have mercy on us.

Starting Palm Sunday ARSH 2017 Off Right

Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

PATER NOSTER, qui es in caelis, sanctificetur nomen tuum. Adveniat regnum tuum. Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie, et dimitte nobis debita nostra sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris. Et ne nos inducas in tentationem, sed libera nos a malo. Amen.

Christ’s Entry Into Jerusalem, Jean-Hippolyte Flandrin, ARSH 1842-48, Church of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Paris

Zoom in on this fresco of Christ entering Jerusalem on Palm Sunday.  Look at the faces.  Look at the people in the crowd.  Look at the slack-jawed awe, and for some of them, fear – for example the man whose head is immediately to the right of the she-ass’ forehead – that dude is SCARED. And so should we all be.

For the Lord is high, terrible: a great king over all the earth.
Quoniam Dominus excelsus, terribilis, rex magnus super omnem terram.

-Psalm 46: 3

Insurance: the Abject Fraud of Covering “Pre-existing Conditions”

Insurance is RISK POOLING.

A group of people get together, generally under the organization of a for-profit entity, and each person or unit pays into a pool.  The purpose of the pool is to pay out to any paying member of the risk pool SHOULD AN ADVERSE EVENT HAPPEN TO THEM.  In a sane world, these adverse events are rare, unforeseen and catastrophic or potentially catastrophic.

The more people that pay into the pool, the lower the premiums can be – to a point.  Why?  Because across large groups, analysts and statisticians within the for-profit company can estimate, with greater and greater precision, the number of adverse incidents that will probably occur within the risk pool group. This is called ACTUARIAL SCIENCE, and a person who studies the frequency or risk of certain events across large groups or populations is called an ACTUARY.  So, the larger the risk pool, the more precise and accurate the actuarial studies can be.  It is impossible to predict what will happen to one individual person over the course of, say, the next year.  HOWEVER, it is possible, and morally licit, to say that over the course of the next year, within a group of, say, 100,000 people, how many can reasonably be expected to be diagnosed with cancer, get in a serious car wreck, have a heart attack, be run over by a Zamboni machine, etc.

Insurance companies can also factor into their premiums activities that individuals engage in that increase the risk of an adverse, or “risk event” occurring, such as smoking, heavy drinking, OBESITY, aberrosexual activity, participation in so-called “extreme sports”, and so on.

What makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, and what indicates to me that a person is completely intellectually unserious and should be utterly disqualified from any adult discussion about health insurance is the notion that insurance can and should cover pre-existing conditions.  You know, like Donald J. Trump.  Sorry, folks, but Trump has been not just a stalwart advocate of single-payer, aka universal government “insurance”, but has and continues to beat the drum on coverage for people with “pre-existing conditions”.

Read this over and over again until you understand:

Health insurance” that “covers” pre-existing conditions IS NOT HEALTH INSURANCE.  It is a fraudulent asset-shifting racket.  This is a mathematical fact, not a matter of opinion. It is not debatable. Now if you are sitting there reading this, falling for the brain-dead agitprop that has been spewed from the government-financial-media complex for the past fifteen years or so, thinking what a horrible, cruel, mean-spirited person I am, listen up and listen good.  YOU ARE OPERATING ON THE FALSE PREMISE THAT INSURANCE IS 100% NECESSARY TO COVER MEDICAL EXPENSES.  It is not.  It is precisely because of the evil perversion of the entire concept of insurance that healthcare costs are what they are, and continue to inflate on an exponential curve – right now 9% per year, which puts the doubling period at EIGHT YEARS.  (Remember the Rule of 72.  Divide the annual percent rate of increase in costs into 72 and you will get a very close approximation of the time it takes for the cost structure to double in price.)

Do you understand that most people should be able to pay, and pay fairly easily, for even fairly serious healthcare costs?  Do you understand that the indigent poor should be EASILY provided for by, first and foremost THE CHUCH (have you not noticed that almost all hospitals USED to be named “Saint So-and-so’s Hospital”?), along with secular charitable healthcare providers?  Do you know why healthcare costs are INFLATING AT ALL, much less at NINE PERCENT PER YEAR?  One reason.  Insurance – more precisely, the criminal asset-shifting racket that is commonly called “insurance”.  If it weren’t for that, not only would healthcare prices NOT INFLATE AT ALL, they would DEFLATE exactly as the example of LASIK Vision Correction, which has deflated in price by 95% while simultaneously seeing massive advances in the technology involved.

The entire question of “pre-existing conditions” IS ONLY GERMANE WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF INSURANCE, WHICH SHOULD BE UNNECESSARY AND PURELY OPTIONAL ANYWAY. All insurance should be is a purely optional risk-management product that protects ONLY against catastrophic events, and thus is relatively inexpensive just by virtue of what it is.

No one should NEED health insurance.
No one should NEED health insurance.
No one should NEED health insurance.

As an aside, it bears mentioning the difference between health and car insurance. Car insurance, specifically LIABILITY insurance, should be required of drivers because driving is an OPTIONAL activity.  Health insurance revolves around simply living and being alive.  Living and being alive is not an “optional” activity the way driving a car is.  If you freely choose to drive a car, it is perfectly just for the society to pass a law requiring you to carry LIABILITY insurance – that is, insurance that covers damage that YOU MIGHT CAUSE TO OTHER PEOPLE AND/OR THEIR PERSONAL PROPERTY (VEHICLES) ON THE ROAD.  It is wholly unjust for a government to DEMAND that citizens purchase a service commodity (i.e. health insurance) as a condition of waking up breathing.  The fact that the service commodity in question is also a criminal asset-shifting racket just adds icing to the cake.

Now let’s go back to discussing the mathematics of this.  Insurance is only insurance if it is covering something that either HAS NOT YET HAPPENED or is NOT LIKELY TO HAPPEN.

Again, that statement is a fact.  It is not debatable, and has nothing to do the anyone’s FEEWINGS, or what the wretched antipope in Rome, or his butt-kissing hangers-on bleat.  Remember what we discussed in yesterday’s post about the post-Christian west being an anti-meritocracy?  Remember what we discussed about the higher the office, generally the more ignorant and more inept the officeholder?  Yeah.  The college of bishops is right there with the academia and high-level politics as the poster boys for this sad truth. FUNCTIONAL RETARDATION.

So, if insurance can only be risk-pooling for an event that has NOT YET HAPPENED, right off the bat anyone with two brain cells to rub together will intuitively understand that one CANNOT buy insurance for something that has ALREADY HAPPENED.  The entire notion in completely nonsensical.  I can’t call an auto insurance company and buy a policy as I am standing on the side of the road having just wrecked my car two minutes before.  The PROBABILITY of the adverse risk event (a wreck) occurring is 100%, or in actuarial parlance 1.0.

Now let’s think even harder about this.  The ONLY WAY an insurance company could stay afloat given the insane premise of being REQUIRED to insure adverse risk events that have ALREADY HAPPENED is if the insurance company charges as its premium the FULL COST of repairing/replacing the already-wrecked car PLUS the costs and overhead of the insurance company itself, plus a profit. (My cattle marketing students will remember well that since breaking even is unsustainable, it is thus a species of failure.  In order to not fail, a business must be profitable. Therefore, profit is itself a cost.  In order to stay in business, a business must be profitable, therefore profit is itself a cost.)

So, now think this through. If the MINIMUM the insurance company can sanely charge as a premium on an event that has already occurred is the cost of the repair/replacement PLUS all operating/overhead costs of the insurance company PLUS a profit, WHY IN THE BLUE FIRELY BLAZES WOULD A PERSON NOT JUST PAY FOR THE REPAIR/REPLACEMENT HIMSELF, MINUS THE OVERHEAD COSTS MINUS THE PROFIT MARGIN?

If you are struggling to understand this, it is because you have been brainwashed into thinking that insurance is a “free lunch” – you have been conditioned to believe that insurance is simply when you give people a small amount of money, and they give you back a very large sum of money – apparently for absolutely no good reason at all. If you think that it is morally licit to have the premiums paid by the other members of a risk pool who paid their premiums IN GOOD FAITH to protect them against the POSSIBILITY that something COULD HAPPEN, while you demand a payout having put in the same premium or no premium at all AFTER the adverse event has already happened, then you need to sit down and think long and hard until this becomes clear, or you acknowledge to yourself that you do not believe in the Seventh and Tenth Commandments, which, you know, will make for a pretty awkward Particular Judgment.

The next concept is the idea that insurance should pay out on “risk events” that are GUARANTEED to happen.  So what are payout events that are “guaranteed” to happen?  Annual physicals, check-ups, tests, etc.  THESE ARE NOT INSURABLE EVENTS, BECAUSE THEY ARE “GUARANTEED TO HAPPEN” BY VIRTUE OF WHAT THEY ARE: PREVENTION.  So, again, the only sane way for this to work within the context of insurance is for the cost to the insured person to be the total cost of the service, plus the overhead and operating costs of the insurance company, PLUS a profit margin.

If we were to write this as a formula, it would be:

(Service Cost + Insurance Overhead Cost + Insurance Company Profit) X Probability of Adverse Risk Event = Premium

The reason why real insurance premiums are a fraction of the Cost Term is because the Probability coefficient is less than 1.0.  Let’s say the odds of getting a brain tumor over the broad populace is 1 in 500,000.  That is to say, in the total population, it can be reasonably expected that 1 in every 500,000 people will develop a brain tumor.  So, the insurance company turns that into a coefficient that they then plug into the formula.  If the total current average cost to treat a brain tumor plus insurance company overhead costs plus insurance company profit margin is $300,000 (I made that up), and the brain tumor probability coefficient is 0.000003622 (I just made that up too):

$300,000 multiplied by 0.000003622 = $1.0866.

Divide that by twelve to get it to a monthly figure and you get $0.0955.  Let’s say your total monthly premium is $100.  So, we could think of it as nine and a half cents per month out of your $100 premium is your “brain tumor” risk premium. The nine and a half cents per month pays into the “brain tumor risk pool” and insurance company costs plus profit.

Now, let’s walk through this if the risk of brain tumor is 100%, which is to say, it has already happened that you have been diagnosed with a brain tumor, aka a PRE-EXISTING CONDITION, so the Probability coefficient is 1.

$300,000 X 1 = $300,000

If the insurance company charges ANYTHING LESS than $300,000, they will go out of business, guaranteed.

This applies in exactly the same way to events that are GUARANTEED to happen, or even mandated in some cases, such as annual physicals.  If the insurance company charges anything less than the total cost plus overhead plus profit, then they will go out of business. The notion that insurance policies should cover guaranteed-to-occur events with even ZERO CO-PAY is so jaw-droppingly stupid that it can’t even be described.

The insurance company will go out of business UNLESS they embezzle funds from their actual, legitimate risk pooling customers to the person with the pre-existing condition, or to cover “guaranteed-to-occur” events, that is, events with a probability coefficient of 1.

Which is exactly what happens.  What is called today “health insurance” is no such thing.  It is a criminal asset-shifting scheme, which the insurance companies, in total cooperation with the government, broker and execute.

Now, you have to ask yourself with regards to Trump and all of these other politicians, do these people not understand this, OR do they understand it and are dishonest, and WANT the entire health insurance, and ultimately healthcare delivery paradigm to implode?  Because it is one or the other, folks.

This is why whenever ANYONE starts talking about “insurance for pre-existing conditions”, I immediately write them off as either galactically stupid, or nefarious. Without exception.

Not only does this issue require serious adults, it requires honest people.  Barring supernatural intervention, there will be no turning any of this around until serious adults that are also people of integrity occupy the halls of power.

In other words, we’re screwed.
