Advent Time Out: Entering the Dark Silence and Searching for the Light

Dear Readers,

How grateful I am for all of you, both those who encourage Susan and me and those who think we are on the road to hell and deserve eternal punishment. 

"All things work together for good to those who love the Lord and serve according to His purpose." (Romans 8:28)

The Excalibur Mystery: Just in Time for Christmas Gift Giving!

The third book in Donal Foley's excellent series, The Glaston Chronicles, is finally here and it's well worth reading, The Excalibur Mystery, continues the adventures of Matt Bergin and his cousins, Luke and Annie Martin. The teenagers  use the portal at Glastonbury Tor to travel through time in order to solve problems and aid those in need.They originally stumbled into the portal accidentally when Annie's little dog, Toby, disappeared at the Tor inside the arch and the cousins ran after him. They found themselves in World War II France embroiled in the underground movement.

Wind of Change - Globalists Have Giant Meltdown

Wind of Change - Scorpions

Known as the Dutch Donald Trump, Freedom Party's Geert Wilders won! sending shockwaves through Europe. Wilders will be the next Prime Minister of the Netherlands, ousting current globalist PM Mark Rutte. CNN's meltdown article is HERE. Breitbart's pro-populist article is HERE.

The Breitbart article states:

Similar to other populist leaders in the world, including Donald Trump in the United States, and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, Wilders, 60, expertly capitalized on the frustrations of disenfranchised voters who claim they feel ignored and unheard, and used similar tactics as other hard right autocrats to harness widespread frustration about migration promising that he would make “borders closed.”

Victor Orban, Hungary's Prime Minister, congratulated Wilders by sending him Scorpions Wind of Change.

Mothers, Don't Let Your Children Grow Up to Be Soldiers (in the Woke Military)!

Editor's Note: Really? The military abused all those members and now they want them back? No apology, no back pay? And for the privilege of returning you can be cannon fodder in their endless wars! My dad was career Navy and left the service as a Rear Admiral. He refused to retire. He said he never quit a job in his life. I think if he were alive today he would not be encouraging young people to go into any of the services. Check out the abuse these soldiers experienced for refusing to take the death shot. Many had to pay back their signing bonuses. And now the Biden Administration is saying pretty please come back. Anyone who does that needs their head examined. 

Please pray for our poor country, Daddy. 

US military asks unvaccinated soldiers to come back

Invitation to re-enlist comes amid dire recruiting crisis

Posted by Yudi Sherman

The US Army this month sent letters to almost 2,000 former service members who were discharged for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine urging them to come back.

Happy Thanksgiving! I Hope You're Spending it with Those You Love. Don't forget to thank the giver of all gifts!

There's a good article on the Ludwig Von Mises Institute website about The Great Thanksgiving Hoax. Did you think the Plymouth Plantation was a place where the pilgrims all landed on the rock then worked happily together and enjoyed the benefit of their labor? Unhappily that wasn't the case -- at least not in the beginning. No, the pilgrims were a contentious and lazy lot for the most part and the workers (remember the little red hen) were in the minority.

In his article, Richard Maybury writes that, "the governor of the colony, William Bradford, reported that the colonists went hungry for years, because they refused to work in the fields. They preferred instead to steal food. He says the colony was riddled with 'corruption,' and with 'confusion and discontent.' The crops were small because 'much was stolen both by night and day, before it became scarce eatable.'"

Well, gosh, how did these poor folks make it? You'll have to read the article. Then share "the rest of the story" with your family around the Thanksgiving table. You might end by quoting St. Paul's admonition that he who doesn't work doesn't eat. And remember, the cooks shouldn't have to do the clean-up. Pecan pie, anyone?

Will Bishop Strickland be Banished to Muck Island!

Editor's note: Msgr. Antall's article struck me immediately when I saw his reference to the book, The Catholics, which was made into a film of the same title later changed to The Conflict. I recommend both the book and the film. It's amazing how prophetic they were. We are now experiencing a very similar situation to the Catholic flock in the movie who are deprived of the Latin Mass and other devotions. 

Read the article! 

Anyone who is currently attending a Traditional Latin Mass is on a modern Muck Island. We can hope and pray, however, that our modern Fr. Kinsellas, with no belief in Catholic doctrine praying to who knows who from their lotus positions, will be converted. Nothing is impossible with God!

We don't know what happens as time moves forward at the end of the movie. Neither do we know the end of God's story here and now. But we can be ever confident in the reality that "All things work together for good to those who love the Lord and serve according to His purpose." 

Welcome to Muck Island

A Message from Church Militant, But Don't Look for it On Their Website!

UPDATE: The statement is now linked on the home page. Christine Niles has also released a video about her own resignation. Michael Voris' has released a video on X. In the midst of all this, Simon Rafe has sent out a message asking for...guess what...more money. As long as Simon, author of the Darknight game, is involved with CM, I'm outta there. Keep everyone in prayer, but spend your money wisely on apostolates that are really saving souls.

Michael Voris is out at Church Militant for "breaching the....morality clause.

Editor's note: Michael Voris, founder of Church Militant and chief scandal monger has resigned over "morality issues." Regular readers are aware of our longstanding concerns over Church Militant, their dishonesty and tabloid journalism.

Fr. Tom Collins to the Episcopal Vicar of His Region in the Diocese of Richmond on Bishop Strickland

With the removal of Bishop Strickland as Ordinary of the Diocese of Tyler TX, several people have raised concerns about the alleged reason for his removal was that he was taking the Deposit of Faith too seriously. Even worse, allegedly, Cardinal Pierre told him that there is no Deposit of Faith.

Hamas - The New Nazis

This is exactly like the Russia/Ukraine war, that is, Russia having to go in to de-Nazify, de-radicalize and de-militarize Ukraine because of Nazi Ukraine's murder and persecution of Russians in the Donbas. The problem with the Israel/Hamas-Palestinian war is that in order for there to be de-militarization and de-radicalization of Islamic Hamas and a future of peace in the area, Islam would have to be destroyed. 

Please study the origin of Islam in older sources (going back at least 100 years) in order not to be duped by the Left's whitewashing of Muhammad and his religion. The Archangel Gabriel appeared to the Virgin Mary at the Annunciation. Did the Archangel Gabriel also appear 600 years later to Muhammad to announce a new religion? God is immutable so that's impossible, but people easily believe Satan's deceit that Islam came before Christ and Muhammad is God's most beloved last prophet. When you discover who Muhammad's Angel Gabriel is, you'll have the key to understanding exactly what Islam is. 

Can things get any crazier? Absolutely! See what Biden's EEOC has in store for Christians!

When Sanity Reigned!

Editor's Note: Bob Marshall, a personal friend, has spent his life fighting for the unborn and for common sense government. Citizens who care about this country would do well to listen to his voice of sanity. Do you have any contacts on the Hill? Do you know any federal, state, or local government workers who will be affected by this latest assault on truth and reality? Please share Bob's article widely. Persecution of Christians in the workplace is already here. Don't be silent as the vice grip on freedom of speech is tightened to muzzle Christians while allowing the enemies of Christ free rein. Bob provides links to your senators and representatives. Please use them to oppose this latest draconian attack on, not only Christians, but all people who love truth and reality!

Viva Cristo Rey!

EEOC: Denying reality to punish Christians?

A Touching Portrait of Bishop Strickland from One of His Flock in Tyler!

They're grieving in Tyler. The portrait of Bishop Strickland from a member of his flock varies significantly from some of his critics. The latest negative article for me came from Fr. Raymond de Souza at National Catholic Register. It was a serious hit piece. His portrait of the bishop totally conflicts with this article at Crisis Magazine from a member of Bishop Strickland's flock:

When the Cathedral bells swung five minutes before Mass last weekend, they seemed to know. The Ave sung with the Rosary was so mournful, you’d think someone had died. A light went out in Tyler on Saturday. 

Scholastic Pushes Porn and Perversion on Kids! Time for Real Bankruptcy to "Reward" their Moral Bankrupty!

Caving to Leftist Pressure, Scholastic Plans to Import the LGBT Agenda to Every School in America (I've included a few photos in this post from Scholastic's gay offerings. Great for pervert story hours.)

I used to love Scholastic when my kids were in elementary school. I loved the book fairs and went over the order forms with the children to help them pick out books before it started. I often went and bought books myself. The school benefitted and so did our young readers. 

How sad it is to see Scholastic join the scandal mongers to push porn and perversion on children hardly out of the playpen. How did this all happen so fast? How could a small percentage of the population, originally miniscule, gain so much power that they are now perverting more and more kids, especially girls?

Bishop Rene Gracida on the Attempted Assassination of Bishop Strickland's Ministry!

You can get the bishop's autobiography at Amazon Editor's Note: One of my heroes is Bishop Emeritus of Corpus Christi, Rene Gracida. He stands almost alone, being one of the few bishops who ever publicly refused the Eucharist to pro-abortion politicians. He urged his fellow bishops decades ago to do likewise, but you can guess how that turned out. Look to the reaction of the pathetic and cowardly bishops during the reign of Henry VIII and you'll see history repeating itself. Cowardly and feckless are words that pop into my mind.  I pray to see the fulfillment of the prophecy from this article by Charlie Johnston that the hour of darkness is ending before I die. Thank you, Bishop Gracida, for your faithful service to Holy Mother Church! The bishops website is well worth following!

Run, Death is Near (Remdesivir, the killer drug!)

The article is from the Front Line Doctors. I know people murdered by the Remdesivir/Ventilator protocol. My sister ended up in the hospital with COVID and I told her to absolutely refuse it. She did. They still pressured her over treatment and kept her in the hospital longer than necessary. Medical murder became mainstream during COVID and they are still pushing the dangerous gene therapies. Be your own advocate and make sure you have a doctor who respects life.

Dear Mary,   We want to dry up the Medical Industrial Complex.
