Pope Leo XIII, that is.  Here are some choice excerpts from his Encyclical SPAIENTIAE CHRISTIANAE – On Christians as Citizens, from January ARSH 1890, which was recently brought to my attention.  And boy, did it ever get my attention.

HERE IS THE LINK TO THE FULL DOCUMENT, which I cannot recommend strongly enough.  If you can, print it out and take a highlighter to it.  You might run out of highlighter ink before you get through it.  Every paragraph is a manful, crystal-clear tour de force.  Read this, and then compare it to the nebulous, wishy-washy, clear-as-mud rhetoric we get today.  When you read Leo XIII you comprehend EXACTLY what he is saying immediately.  Bam.  Pow.  Here it is.  Take it or leave it.  2+2=4.  Period.

I can’t resist posting these excerpts, because he is speaking directly to us.  “Relevant” doesn’t begin to do it justice.  All emphases are mine.

From paragraph 2, (confirming) my position that the United States no longer actually exists as a licit state:
…if, in administering public affairs, it [government] is wont to put God aside, and show no solicitude for the upholding of moral law, it deflects woefully from its right course and from the injunctions of nature; nor should it be accounted as a society or a community of men, but only as the deceitful imitation or appearance of a society.

From paragraph 4, (confirming) my position that people are responsible for both their government and for their knowledge (or lack thereof) of the faith – especially in this day and age wherein the sum of human knowledge is available instantly on the internet, to which you all obviously have access:
Considering that forthwith upon salvation being brought out for mankind, Jesus Christ laid upon His Apostles the injunction to “preach the Gospel to every creature,” He imposed, it is evident, upon all men the duty of learning thoroughly and believing what they were taught. This duty is intimately bound up with the gaining of eternal salvation: “He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not, shall be condemned.”

From paragraph 5, shooting down the false premise so commonly held today that “Render unto Caesar” implies equality of the state, or even a supremacy of the state over God and His Holy Church with regards to loyalty and earthly submission:
We are bound, then, to love dearly the country whence we have received the means of enjoyment this mortal life affords, but we have a much more urgent obligation to love, with ardent love, the Church to which we owe the life of the soul, a life that will endure forever. For fitting it is to prefer the good of the soul to the well-being of the body, inasmuch as duties toward God are of a far more hallowed character than those toward men.

From paragraphs 6, 7 and 8 speaking directly to right action when a state is in open conflict with God:
For, instances occur where the State seems to require from men as subjects one thing, and religion, from men as Christians, quite another; and this in reality without any other ground, than that the rulers of the State either hold the sacred power of the Church of no account, or endeavor to subject it to their own will. Hence arises a conflict, and an occasion, through such conflict, of virtue being put to the proof. The two powers are confronted and urge their behests in a contrary sense; to obey both is wholly impossible. No man can serve two masters, for to please the one amounts to contemning the other.

7. As to which should be preferred no one ought to balance for an instant. It is a high crime indeed to withdraw allegiance from God in order to please men, an act of consummate wickedness to break the laws of Jesus Christ, in order to yield obedience to earthly rulers, or, under pretext of keeping the civil law, to ignore the rights of the Church; “we ought to obey God rather than men.”  This answer, which of old Peter and the other Apostles were used to give the civil authorities who enjoined unrighteous things, we must, in like circumstances, give always and without hesitation. No better citizen is there, whether in time of peace or war, than the Christian who is mindful of his duty; but such a one should be ready to suffer all things, even death itself, rather than abandon the cause of God or of the Church.

8. Hence, they who blame, and call by the name of sedition, this steadfastness of attitude in the choice of duty have not rightly apprehended the force and nature of true law.

From paragraph 10 on the positive duty of civil disobedience and the false charge of sedition:
But, if the laws of the State are manifestly at variance with the divine law, containing enactments hurtful to the Church, or conveying injunctions adverse to the duties imposed by religion, or if they violate in the person of the supreme Pontiff the authority of Jesus Christ, then, truly, to resist becomes a positive duty, to obey, a crime; a crime, moreover, combined with misdemeanor against the State itself, inasmuch as every offense leveled against religion is also a sin against the State. Here anew it becomes evident how unjust is the reproach of sedition; for the obedience due to rulers and legislators is not refused, but there is a deviation from their will in those precepts only which they have no power to enjoin. Commands that are issued adversely to the honor due to God, and hence are beyond the scope of justice, must be looked upon as anything rather than laws. You are fully aware, venerable brothers, that this is the very contention of the Apostle St. Paul, who, in writing to Titus, after reminding Christians that they are “to be subject to princes and powers, and to obey at a word,” at once adds: “And to be ready to every good work.” Thereby he openly declares that, if laws of men contain injunctions contrary to the eternal law of God, it is right not to obey them.

And, for those who send me hate mail telling me that I have no right or authority to say, well, anything about anything (mostly cuckoo-pants sedevacantists who hate me because I don’t want to round up and murder every person on the planet with Jewish DNA), here ya go from paragraph 14:
But, when necessity compels, not those only who are invested with power of rule are bound to safeguard the integrity of faith, but, as St. Thomas maintains: “Each one is under obligation to show forth his faith, either to instruct and encourage others of the faithful, or to repel the attacks of unbelievers.”  To recoil before an enemy, or to keep silence when from all sides such clamors are raised against truth, is the part of a man either devoid of character or who entertains doubt as to the truth of what he professes to believe. In both cases such mode of behaving is base and is insulting to God, and both are incompatible with the salvation of mankind. This kind of conduct is profitable only to the enemies of the faith, for nothing emboldens the wicked so greatly as the lack of courage on the part of the good….Nor is there any ground for alleging that Jesus Christ, the Guardian and Champion of the Church, needs not in any manner the help of men. Power certainly is not wanting to Him, but in His loving kindness He would assign to us a share in obtaining and applying the fruits of salvation procured through His grace.

And then paragraph 16:
No one, however, must entertain the notion that private individuals are prevented from taking some active part in this duty of teaching, especially those on whom God has bestowed gifts of mind with the strong wish of rendering themselves useful. These, so often as circumstances demand, may take upon themselves, not, indeed, the office of the pastor, but the task of communicating to others what they have themselves received, becoming, as it were, living echoes of their masters in the faith. Such co-operation on the part of the laity has seemed to the Fathers of the [First] Vatican Council so opportune and fruitful of good that they thought well to invite it. “All faithful Christians, but those chiefly who are in a prominent position, or engaged in teaching, we entreat, by the compassion of Jesus Christ, and enjoin by the authority of the same God and Saviour, that they bring aid to ward off and eliminate these errors from holy Church, and contribute their zealous help in spreading abroad the light of undefiled faith.”  Let each one, therefore, bear in mind that he both can and should, so far as may be, preach the Catholic faith by the authority of his example, and by open and constant profession of the obligations it imposes. In respect, consequently, to the duties that bind us to God and the Church, it should be borne earnestly in mind that in propagating Christian truth and warding off errors the zeal of the laity should, as far as possible, be brought actively into play.

There’s more.  Just go read it and bask in the radiance of manful, intransigent faith manifested in supremely coherent and understandable prose.  Sigh.

Pope Leo XIII, intransigent monologue-er.

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.

Please God, let me remain intransigently faithful like St. Andrew.

New favorite phrase: “intransigently faithful”.

Intransigent:
unwilling or refusing to change one’s views or to agree about something.

Dread.  From the moment the white smoke appeared, it has just been dread.  Every day I dread what he is going to say or do.  What must be remembered in all of this, and what I have been saying since day one of the Franciscan pontificate is that we MUST understand and remember that Our Lord is ANGRY.  Very, very angry.  And as St. John Eudes told is in no uncertain terms, when God is angry with His people, we get bad clergy.  Given the unprecedented sins of the once-Christian world, it should be no surprise whatsoever that we now have not just bad priests, but a bad pope.  Hey, if we had the pope we deserved we would have Pope Snoop Dogg right now, so… yeah.  Sigh.

If you have listened to the first podcast, you heard the discussion about the criticality of thinking and arguing from the foundation a TRUE PREMISE.  That is what we have to do here when unpacking Francis’ latest mess. Let’s establish some TRUE premises and compare them with the FALSE premises that people are trying to use.

False premise #1:  Pope Francis is intelligent, because only an intelligent man could ever rise through the Church and be elected pope.  (This sounds eerily familiar somehow…)
TRUE premise:  Pope Francis is not a terribly intelligent man.

We want to believe that the people who are in charge or in positions of authority are competent to wield that authority, and that the world is a perfect meritocracy.  It is not.  It is consoling to one’s self to think that there are people out there who know and understand more than we do and can thus take care of us and handle problems.  This is not always true, and as our culture rots and corrupts, the less frequently this is true.  Academia is filled with idiots, liars and abject incompetents.  The business world rewards psychopathy and elevates stupid people and the unqualified who present no real threat to the able psychopaths, and are regarded as easily controlled pawns.  Once you shake off your innate, and quite frankly FEMININE, bias toward believing that occupying a position of authority PROVES competence, it is actually quite easy to spot people who are “the real deal” and, conversely, the poseurs.  One simple metric?  Real Deals answer questions clearly and directly.  Their “yes” means yes, and their “no” means no.  Poseurs are evasive and rely heavily on slogans and buzzwords; “speaks much, says little”.  Pope Francis’ main buzzterms are “humility”, “dialogue”, “encounter” and “the poor”.  I’m not convinced that he has a thorough or even adequate understanding of even one of those terms.

False premise #2:  Pope Francis understands economics and the financial system.
TRUE premise:  Pope Francis understands little to nothing about economics and the financial system.

This cannot be overemphasized.  Taking economic advice from Pope Francis is like taking advice on deep sea oil drilling or the proper playing of the French Horn from me.  For those of you who have watched my 2.5 hour video series on YouTube about the financial system and economics, do you honestly believe that Pope Francis knows ANYTHING about any of that?  Do you think he understands the situation with regards to the banking system, the debt bubble or the massive global derivatives exposure?  And that is just barely scratching the surface of the topic.  Do you think Pope Francis even understands or has thought about what money actually is?  Let me answer that question clearly.  No.  Pope Francis’ entire economic platform is, “Give poor people more free stuff forevah.”  That’s it.

False premise #3:  Pope Francis is politically conservative or completely non-political.
TRUE premise:  Pope Francis is a Peronist-Fascist which is a particular subset of Marxism in South America that believes that the state should control the economy and redistribute wealth.

Being that he is not terribly intelligent, he does not understand or have figured out that all political agitation for state-driven, forced coercion of “redistribution of wealth” has NOTHING to do with helping the poor and EVERYTHING to do with consolidating wealth and power among a cadre of oligarchs precisely by creating and then looting a massive underclass.  Lenin called these people who actually believe that Marxism genuinely cares about the poor, “useful idiots”.  Trapped by his own misguided belief that the poor are somehow INTRINSICALLY SPIRITUALLY SUPERIOR, when he sees the inevitable results of Marxism, namely the proliferation and spread of material poverty throughout a culture, he reconciles it in his own mind by canonizing the underclass and telling himself that they are spiritually “better off” for being materially poor.  This is not a malevolent position, but it is a deeply stupid position.

False premise #4:  Pope Francis is fully versed in and fully understands and fully believes what the Church teaches and has taught for 2000 years.
TRUE premise:  Pope Francis is a Jesuit and a direct product of the post-asteroid (aka post Vatican II) era.  As such, he is woefully uneducated and contra-educated, and believes that the Church was “reborn” in approximately ARSH 1968, and that everything before ARSH 1968 is inferior and/or irrelevant. 

The main architect of the destruction of the Church in the mid-20th century was a priest named Annibale Bugnini.  Bugnini was quoted as saying, “Modern secular man is the perfect man and the everlasting man.”  This statement explains pretty much everything that has happened in the last 50 years, and why.  This mindset, of which Bergoglio, a South American Jesuit and full product of the post-conciliar Church, was utterly formed in, allows for the utter rejection of and total lack of curiosity about everything that happened before ARSH 1968.  It doesn’t matter what the Mass was like before, and it doesn’t matter what the Fathers and Saints taught before, because MANKIND ITSELF was different, and not just different but INFERIOR.  Thus everything “old” is bad, and everything “new” is good, and thus the Church must also be new, and thus different.  Nothing “old” can possibly speak to the new, superior modern man, who can now “encounter” Christ and “dialogue” with Him as an equal.  Modern man can now act as his own arbiter of truth, conceptualizing the notions of good and evil within himself, and truth, goodness and beauty are now negotiable and dynamic.  Modern man need not rely on strict, antiquated teaching, but now, in his superiority, can confidently rely on how things make him FEEL.

Pope Francis doesn’t know what the Church’s teachings on these important questions are and he has clearly not availed himself of the wisdom left to us by giants like Augustine, Aquinas, and even popes who lived through the ascendancy of Marxism itself, like Leo XIII, because he simply doesn’t particularly care what they have to say.  Why consult inferior, backward men from an inferior, backward time when you can consult yourself in all of your modern, humble, post-1968 glory?

False premise #5:  Pope Francis wrote the Apostolic Exhortation (aka the manifesto) himself.
True premise:  Pope Franics almost certainly had significant “help” in writing the document, if it wasn’t totally ghostwritten.

If there is one skillset that we all should have picked up over the last six years, it is identifying a written text that in no way matches the voice of the speaker.  Pope Francis cannot speak with any coherence or sophistocation when he speaks off the cuff.  I know people who have personally witnessed his weekday morning homilies in Rome.  They are painful, rambling, incoherent streams of consciousness filled with excruciatingly awkward pauses, verbal ticks, and lost trains of thought in MID-SENTENCE.  This is why the Vatican media does not publish the verbatim transcripts but rather “summaries”.  They CAN’T publish the verbatim transcripts because the verbatim transcripts are massively embarrassing in their inarticulateness.  Men who cannot speak generally cannot write.  Bear this in mind.  I say this not to defend, but simply as a statement of fact.

Once you start addressing things like “the manifesto” from these true premises, it becomes much easier to parse them.  It hurts terribly to see the damage that is done, but we do what we can and remain ever-zealous for the salvation of souls (beginning with one’s own – ahem), and always remember that this is just all part of God’s wrath, which we so richly, richly deserve, and of which I fear this is just the very, very beginning.

Now, I am going to Mass of the Ages to encounter Our Lord, physically present in the Eucharist, as have so many saints before us.  Please God, let me grow ever-more intransigent in my faith.

1.  I’ve been partaking of Hot Toddies while fighting this chest cold virus.  My preferred recipe is one shot of The Famous Grouse, four whole cloves, one generous teaspoon honey, juice of half an orange, hot water to fill the mug.  Medicine is delicious!  We should have medicine every day!

2.  Tomorrow, November 29th at 12:30pm EST the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass will be offered for all of my benefactors, supporters and those who have prayed for me.  Set an alarm on your phone or some such and make a spiritual communion with Our Lord.

3.  I have been taken aback (yes, jaded as I am) at how many Catholics have emailed me about the Rosary explanation piece saying that while aware of the Rosary, they never had any idea what it actually was or what it meant.  Yup.  THOSE, my friends, are the fruits of the Second Vatican Council.  Behold the New Pentecost, the “New Springtime” in the Church, where apparently since ARSH 1968 it is always Winter and never Christmas – to quote Mr. Tumnus.  Congratulations especially to the Protestant lady who emailed to report that she had prayed the First Sorrowful Mystery – just the that one mystery – on her fingers and thought about Our Lord’s Agony in the Garden while saying the ten Hail Marys.  The longest journey begins with a single step.

4.   May I relate an anecdote about the Sacrament of Confession?  So I have been availing myself of the Sacrament of Penance frequently of late, and went yesterday with one sin that I needed to confess.  I always go to confession anonymously and I don’t know the priests and the priests don’t know me, and can’t even see me because I go where they have real confessional booths with opaque grills, so please believe me when I tell you, there is no way the priest last night knew who I was.  I confessed my one sin, let’s hypothetically say it was, “Bless me Father, for I have sinned.  It has been x days since my last confession.  Since my last confession I accuse myself of eating my soup with a fork one time.  For this and all other sins that have escaped my memory I am heartily sorry, humbly ask pardon of God and penance and absolution of you, Father.”  Do you know what the priest said back to me without skipping a beat?  He said, “The internet can be a wonderful tool for education and evangelization.”  Full stop.  And then he addressed the sin of “eating one’s soup with a fork”, which had nothing to do with the innerwebz.

Ummmm.  Okay.  Where did THAT come from?  I sure was happy to hear it.

Confession isn’t therapy.  It is a Sacrament of the Church, and Our Lord is the Actor, just as He is the Actor in the Mass.  Your best odds of physically, auricularly hearing God talk to you are in the confessional, on your knees, not looking for therapy or someone to justify your bad behavior.  Just tell Our Lord out loud what evil you have done, and He may just speak back to you through the priest.  In fact, it happens quite a lot.  Hmmmm.  Isn’t it too bad that most Novus Ordo priests and parishes make confession next-to-impossible, turn it into navel-gazing psychotherapy when they do do it, or tell people outright that it isn’t necessary at all?  Isn’t it sad, and frankly evil, that most new construction Catholic churches, even the super-high dollar ones, are built WITHOUT ANY CONFESSIONALS?  It’s almost as if there is some sort of conspiracy to keep people away from Our Lord in the Sacraments, or something.

The proper posture for confessing one’s sins is kneeling, not sitting on a leather sectional with one’s legs crossed in Father Jazzhands’ office as you both “dialogue about your feelings”. Confess properly and you may confidently expect little miracles.

Very redneck.  One sloppy edit splice, and maybe a couple of coughs.  Sorry.  As I continue to work with the software I’ll make it look prettier, and maybe even add music bumpers.  For now, it looks like something made in a van down by a river.  Because it was.

It is basically a stream of consciousness riff, but the three main topics are:
1.  Logical validity vs. Truth and the importance of always thinking and arguing from a foundation of true premises.
2.  Church-state dynamics and challenging Americans to start thinking about what we have learned from the implosion of the American experiment as predicted by John Adams.
3.  Thanks to donors.

In my effort to add some value around here, I have added something that has been in the back of my mind for years.  It’s up on the Menu Bar above as a permanent feature and ever-growing work in progress: DISC JOCKEY ANN.  The categories are Popular, Country/Bluegrass, Secular Classical and Sacred.  I have started with 40 songs, and it is just barely scratching the surface.  This will be an inexhaustible project.  Enjoy!

1.  My, but there are a bunch of you out there!  I continue to be bowled-over at your generosity with the donation button.  Either God really doesn’t want me living in a train station just yet or hell just got WAY hotter for me.  If it is the former, then it is all on you guys.  If it is the latter, it is 100% on me, and you are my victims.  I still worry.  I worry.

It is still bizarre to be confronted with the fact that there are hundreds of thousands of you out there reading this stuff.  Understand that every post has been written while standing, alone, in front of my desk (back in the old Lone Tree office) and now sitting at my desk in the Van Down By the River.  I get these tremendously moving little messages appended to the donations that show up in my email box from PayPal, and it is almost impossible to comprehend how it is that such profound feeling could spring from me staring at my monitor and pounding on my keyboard in solitude.  It is all very strange.  While I can’t reply to everyone, just know that I see, and I hear.  We will almost certainly never meet on this earth, but I’m waving back.  Hello!  Thank you!  If I make it to heaven, we’ll meet there!

REMINDER!  The next Tridentine Mass for my benefactors and supporters is coming up on November 29th at approximately 12:30pm EST.  Mark your calendars!

2.  By urgent and overwhelming request, The One About … THE SCIENCE OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION AND ASSUMPTION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY has been posted just below and permanently on “The one about…” page.

3.  Red beer is basically half beer, half tomato juice or V-8.  You can sprinkle salt and pepper in it to make it extra-good.  If you are ever near Sidney, Nebraska, stop in to Dude’s Steakhouse.  I have eaten some SPECTACULAR meals there of Prime Rib and Red Beer.  Sidney is a really cool town.  It is the corporate headquarters of Cabela’s, and is thus … doing well.  And, it can also thus be safely assumed that everyone in Sidney is packing at all times.  Odds of being targeted in the “knockout game” in Sidney?  Uh, yeah.  That would be just below… ZERO.

4.  I have decided that Tuesday will be podcast day.  I have had a bit of a deep chest bug for the past several days and am hacking and rasping like Lucille Ball circa 1968 after chain smoking a pack of unfiltered Camels, but hopefully I’ll be in good voice on Tuesday.  Even if I’m not, at least my voice will be lower in tone.  Speaking of which, I have been playing with “Garage Band” on my MacBook Air, and I think I have the settings contorted enough so that I sound like Lauren Bacall in “To Have and Have Not”.  Anybody got a match?

After seeing all of these stories about how blacks are now knocking random people out on the streets, and sometimes killing them, I became inspired to repost this piece written all the way back in ARSH 2010, with a little love letter to everyone’s favorite puddle of Southside garbagejuice, Michelle Obama, kicking it all off.  Remember, the rap videos cited below are now THREE YEARS OLD.  In a culture wherein the depravity curve has gone parabolic, the rap shown below is now relatively TAME, not just in relation to other rap acts, but now in comparison to white girl teeny-boppers.  My point?  Because we as a culture refused to shut this crap down while we still could, our culture is now doomed, and deserves to be destroyed.

The reposting of this essay was inspired by Michelle Obama inviting a “rapper” to perform at a “poetry” event at the White House. The rapper, Common, is a filth monger very similar to the rapper cited below, L’il Wayne.

Hey Michelle, your taste in music is despicable and you need to keep your filthy, degenerate rap-trash friends out of the People’s House. And don’t you dare tell me that I simply don’t understand “your culture”. I understand “your culture” completely. It is rotten to the bone and satanic to the core. The race card has been officially maxed-out, Michelle. You have cowed good, decent people of all colors and races in this country for decades into tolerating filth and evil in our culture. But that era is over now, Hon. We have had enough, and WE WILL NOT BE COWED AND INTIMIDATED ANY LONGER. We are here, we never left, and we are mad as hell, so you and your filth-peddling friends better step back. And take your Godforsaken rap noise back to the gutter with you where it belongs.

Love,
Ann

“Speaking the Truth in times of universal deceit is a revolutionary act.”

I’m making this post because I suspect that most of the people who read this blog have absolutely no idea how bad the rap/hip-hop culture has become. From what I can tell about my readership, I’m guessing that the average reader is white, male, rural, over 50, and, apparently, retired from the United States Air Force. What up, flyboys.

First, I want to show you a couple of videos of contemporary, popular, chart-topping rap/hip-hop. I was a kid when rap first started and the popular acts were Run DMC and MC Hammer. Rap was simply rythmic speech laid over a simple beat track. It was crude in the sense that it was lyrically stupid and lazy, and did not contain any intrinsic beauty. The lyrics were often shouted and/or grunted, and if there was more than one voice, the combination of shouting voices produced sonic dissonance. I think that we all made the mistake of dismissing it as a fad, thinking that something with no intelligence or beauty could persist. It wasn’t a fad. It was the beginning of a cancerous evil. If you are like me and have not really listened to any rap music in 20+ years, you need to listen to these videos so that you can understand the level of sheer evil that we are now dealing with.

CONTENT WARNING. These videos are EXTREMELY graphic. There are no images – I refuse to post the “music videos” because they are pornography, and even in the interests of education and intelligence gathering, I just can’t do it. These videos are simply the text of the lyrics, because most of us couldn’t understand what was being said without the lyrics printed. But believe me, the children who are listening to this garbage read the lyrics and know every word by heart – so we need to know too. The language is extremely profane and sexually graphic. It could certainly be characterized as verbal pornography. If you feel that you can’t handle such things, DON’T WATCH. And for goodness sake, make sure there are no children within earshot. Finally, as you are watching these videos, understand that this is actually MILD. This rapper, “Lil Wayne”, is a very mainstream, popular rapper. This is the kind of stuff that gets played on the radio and makes the Billboard charts. This is the “bubblegum” category of rap/hip-hop. Obama has stated publicly that he is a fan of this guy and has him on his iPod. (That in and of itself should be grounds for impeachment.) But there are additional levels of fouler, more pornographic, more “hard core” rap. Remember that. The first rap is called “Gonorrhea” and the second is called “I Am Not Human”.

Did you have any idea it was that bad?

What you just heard was pure evil. What you just heard must be fought against and, with God’s help, exterminated from the face of the earth. What you just heard contains absolutely no beauty, goodness or truth – only ugliness, sin and lies. It has no redeeming qualities, and can do nothing but damage and corrupt those who listen to it. What you just heard is a clear and present manifestation of satan running free in the land. The rapper’s voice sounds demonic. The beat and sonic accompaniment sounds demonic and hellish. And where to begin with the lyrics? Every single sentence is either talking about horrific sexual objectification, murder, extreme pride (braggadocio) or extreme materialism. There are also several instances of blasphemy, wherein the rapper calls himself “god” and remarks about women kneeling before him (performing a sex act) as if they were in church.

This is the mainstream, contemporary rap/hip-hop culture in the United States. The vast, vast majority of black Americans under the age of 50 listen to rap/hip-hop like this on a regular basis, and many other people of all races listen to it too. How do I know? Because this “Lil Wayne” person, and scores of others like him are eight and nine-figure millionaires. His product is being consumed at a massive rate.

Why does this matter? Because the evil twin towers of rap/hip-hop and government welfare are destroying the black culture, and by extension and spillover the broad culture, and by extension the broad economy, and by extension western civilization. Don’t think for a second that this filth has no effect on you on your ranch in rural Nebraska. Let’s think this through.

Over the past 30 years, rap/hip-hop culture has conditioned many black Americans (and others as well) to actively disdain education, work, honesty, integrity, personal responsibility, generosity, humility, marriage, fatherhood and human life. If you think I’m making generalizations, GO BACK AND WATCH THE VIDEOS AGAIN. Young black boys and men grow up believing that the only worthwhile endeavors are basketball and/or football, dealing drugs or rapping. They are taught materialism on a level never before seen in human history. Bentleys. Multi-million dollar mansions. Gold and diamond capped teeth. Gold and diamond- crusted jewelery. Any job or vocation that yields less than the exorbitant wealth showered upon rappers, drug dealers or professional athletes is rejected in favor of a life of complete sloth subsidized by the welfare state.

They are taught that sex is a perverse contact sport consisting of merely slapping pieces of human meat together in various ways in order to achieve orgasm. The black family in the United States has almost completely disappeared. Illegitimacy rates in the cities are now in excess of 90%. Most urban blacks have never, ever heard or been taught that sex is limited to marriage. Let me say that again: most urban blacks have NO IDEA that sex is limited to marriage. Most urban blacks have little or no personal contact with marriage or even monogamy. The concept of a father being present in a household is completely foreign. And just today it was reported that in New York City, 41% of all pregnancies end in abortion. Among blacks in NYC, the figure is a jaw- dropping 60%.

They are taught that drug use is desireable and normal, and that drug trafficking is just a means of making easy money.

As a result of all of this, in combination with labor unions and a general rejection of Judeo-Christian morality by all people, we are now staring down the barrel of a total societal and economic collapse as engineered and executed by Marxist elites over the past 50 years. The welfare and entitlement state has reached critical mass. The entire system is about to implode, and it will take ALL OF US with it. Because our culture has been reduced to an animalistic self-absorption, this collapse will not be like the Great Depression. Men will not take any job they can find to support their family – because men stopped supporting their families decades ago. Men will not take any job they can find in order to feed themselves, because men have been conditioned to believe that honest work is for “suckas”.

At this point, some of you reading this may already be feeling very uncomfortable with what I have just said. You may be thinking me “racist” and “bigoted”. Of course you are. You have been conditioned your whole life to have that reaction.  We have been conditioned to believe that any statement of truth, rooted in direct observation and objective evidence MUST be “bigoted”. We have been conditioned to believe that anything that discerns between two or more options, and determines that one option is superior or inferior to any other option is an act of evil, which is named “discrimination”. We have been conditioned to believe that the only morally acceptable stance on anything is complete indiscrimination – in other words, ANYTHING GOES. According to our culture, if I watch the videos above and discern with my powers of observation, reason, intellect and transcendent universal morality (called the Natural Law) that they are, without a doubt evil, then the problem is with ME. I am the evil that must be eliminated. I am the stumbling block to a utopian culture. If I would just sit down and shut up and embrace evil, then there would be no conflict in the world. By engaging in rational thought, I am perpetrating a hate crime. The only way for me to be a “good person” in this world is for me to utterly abandon Reason and Truth. And as I have stated many, many times on this blog, Reason and Truth are a Person, and His Name is Jesus Christ. Oh, yes. Satan is most assuredly afoot in the land.

If you are still feeling latent guilt about criticizing the rap/hip-hop culture, I would invite you to simply defend it. Go back to the two videos above and find me ONE example of virtue, goodness, selflessness, generosity, humility or LOVE. Go ahead. DEFEND IT. Defend pure satanic evil. Tell me about “diversity”, “cultural differences”, “artistic license” and “tolerance” whilst defending and justifying this:

“Diva in the room, she blowin me just like a band horn / Got her on her knees, the same knees that she be prayin on.”

Tell me who the racist is: me, or a man who proclaims, “I am not human.” My God, what more do you need? What more is there? Satan has these people denying their own humanity. I’m trying to reassert and proclaim the humanity and infinite dignity of Lil Wayne and everyone who listens to him. Lil Wayne IS A HUMAN, made in the image of God. God made the universe so that He could create and love Lil Wayne. Christ went to the Cross with Lil Wayne’s face in His mind, and “Wayne” on His lips. Yeah. Jesus that hateful bigot.

In the cities today, more than half of all black children are murdered by their own mothers before they are delivered. Abortion is obviously being used as contraception. Over the past 40 years, nearly 20 million black human beings have been murdered in utero in the United States alone. This means that there should be at least 20 million more black people in this country than there are today – and that isn’t counting the children and grandchildren that would have been born to those aborted black Americans by now. It is a geometric progression. I mourn those lost souls. I mourn the lost potential. This country would not be in death throes that it is in if those children were alive today. If our culture valued human life and thus prevented those children from being killed, God would still be shedding His grace on us. If our culture valued human life, then the rap/hip-hop culture would not even exist. It would have been consigned to the dustbin of history by a collective moral action of the people long ago, and almost all black children would be born to a mother and father, united in marriage, just as they were 60 years ago. One of the objective proofs of the brokenness of our culture is the fact that there aren’t nearly as many black people in our population as there should be. Now, what was it you were saying about Ann being a klannish racist?

What is the solution? I would assume that most everyone reading this blog already has a zero tolerance policy for rap/hip-hop. But we have to do something, because the opposite of love is indifference. As long as we are here in this world, we are COMMANDED to love our neighbor. This means that indifference is impossible. The only thing we can do is start speaking up about this, and not be afraid of being called racist. I hope that there are some black readers out there, because the key to killing the rap/hip-hop culture of death lies squarely in the lap of the black Christian community. They are going to have to rise up and end it themselves.

Like I said, I think we are too far gone to get out of this peacefully. But, if there is a war coming, it is absolutely critical that we know the depth and scope of the evil that we are up against. The rap/hip- hop culture gives us a window into hell itself. As Our Lord told us in Matthew 10:

“Behold I send you as sheep in the midst of wolves. Be ye therefore wise as serpents and simple as doves. But beware of men. For they will deliver you up in councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues. And you shall be brought before governors, and before kings for My sake, for a testimony to them and to the Gentiles.”

Thank you all for the continued generosity and truly edifying moral support.

I really can’t add anything to this except Oooh-rah!:

Let no one mistake our intention, we will not precipitate violence but you already know that you have pulled the pin on the economy and its collapse will bring the fight  you have been prodding for months and months.  Somewhere in the back of your wretched, sickened minds you know there will be judgement for you.  It’s coming.
