Disinformation Board Censors Speech in First Century Jerusalem

Peter and John cure the cripple at the gate, by Nicholas Poussin 1655

If you want to correctly interpret the madness of our own time, you can often find similar situations in the Bible. That's exactly what I found yesterday morning when I was reading Chapter 4 of Acts of the Apostles. Really! The more things change the more they stay the same. The "banality of evil" marches to the same drum in every generation. Liars lie. Minions of Satan engage in strategizing to keep themselves in power and annihilate their competition. That's exactly what happened in the first century: truth debunked as "disinformation," unpopular speech censored and forbidden. The competition labeled as insurrectionists troublemakers who must be forced to shut up or face persecution.

Biden Reich House Arms Militant Nationalists, White Supremacists and Nazis

The Biden Reich House believes these are
brave Ukrainian Nazi Azov boys fighting for freedom

Ideologue liberals live a misty fog-brained existence where nothing makes coherent sense to those of us living in the real world with the ability to see the evil plans ideologues have concocted for us. It would all be hilarious if the ideologues weren't the same people in control of our government, schools, universities, health care systems - and the Catholic Church - and therefore our lives in general. Plus there's the Lucifer Factor - that being the obvious evil embedded within ideologue minds whipping up confusion among the populace to form mob thought control.

One must carve through thick walls of lies and half truths, propaganda and distortions, deceptions, deceit and dishonesty in everything today in order to emerge on the other side able to see at least a resemblance of truth somewhere. Just mention the word Ukraine or Russia and see the visceral vitriol cast one's way when merely hinting that quite likely the media is leading the West down the path of error exactly as they did with their Covid-hype and see anger and confusion on people's faces. "How could you? Putin is evil. He's a KGB agent (no, he was a lawyer paper pusher), Russia is the aggressor, and there are no Nazis in Ukraine! The Nazi movement died after WWII with Hitler!"

What Do You Think? Does Anyone Really Believe We Are Getting the True Story about the Russia/Ukraine War?

That the war in the Ukraine continues is a tragedy. That we are funneling billions of taxpayer dollars into it while people here in the U.S. suffer is immoral. Did Biden care a hoot when the Ukraine government killed 14,000 civilians in the Donbas region of the Ukraine over the past eight years? And why should we care about the Ukraine's border invasion by Russia when our own border invasion by the world doesn't matter? Where is the money gushing into Ukraine really going? Is this one more opportunity for Joe and Hunter to get Ukraine kickbacks? Where will all the weapons end up? In the hands of terrorists who hate us? Really, folks, are you so gullible you believe CNN's version of what's happening? They are as reliable as Joseph Goebbels ministry of disinformation. So what about this? True? False? 

Acts of the Apostles Reminds Us That God Always Brings Good from Evil

Martyrdom of St. James

I generally read Acts of the Apostles during the Easter Season. How that book impresses one with God's Providence. No matter what persecution falls on the heads of the apostles and disciples of Christ, good comes from it. 

• The persecution of the Christians in Jerusalem, particularly after the execution of James by Herod (about 15 years after the resurrection), sends Christian disciples all over the known world spreading the gospel. The blood of the martyrs is, indeed, the seedbed of the faith.

• As the early martyrs go singing to their deaths, the faith spreads not only among those already oriented toward faith, but to their persecutors converted by their amazing witness. 

• The destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. accelerates the exodus and sends believers out en masse to evangelize the known world. What looked like an unmitigated disaster becomes an important means of spreading the faith.

Of the Latest Attack by a Black Racist, the USCCB on Racism, and Bigotry in General: Let's Just Stop It!

This video shows the vicious attack by an Antifa mob against journalist Andy Gno  in Portland, OR in 2019. Gno was also attacked by Antifa in 2021. The video below is an example of bigotry of belief. Antifa claims to be "anti-fascist" as they use violence and hatred against those who oppose their ideas. They are themselves fascists! Not all bigotry is racist but all racism is bigotry.

I'm going to focus primarily on racism in this post.

Prepare for Spiritual Warfare to Engage the Enemy

We fight under the standard of Christ the King!
Painting credit: Peace is Coming by John McNaughton

We are born for a great enterprise – the monumental conflict between the forces of good under the banner of Jesus Christ versus the forces of evil under the prince of this world. Every person on earth was delivered on the battlefield. Recognition of that fact is impressed on Catholics from the earliest moments of life. On our baptism day the priest anointed us as soldiers committed to fight in the Church Militant. Later, confirmation confirmed our duty and gave us the strength to persevere. The sacraments initiate us into the battle and give us the weapons we need to fight. Our demonic enemies, vicious and powerful, are a lot smarter than we are. So unless we put on the armor of God, make use of the weapons of spiritual warfare, and embrace the battle strategy of our generals we are no match for the evil power of the bad angels. 

Looking Back and Looking Forward: Living in Times of Religious Crisis is Nothing New!

Out of curiosity yesterday I pulled out my old high school religion book, The Way, the Truth, and the Life and began reading. It was published in 1956 and was first in a series for high school students. In the first chapter I read this about the Jewish faith in the era of Pax Romana:

Sometimes Ya Just Gotta Laugh! Steve Skojec is an "Empath."

I used to read Steve Skojec and liked his articles until I noticed how vitriolic and nasty he could be to people who disagreed with him. I don't mean people who engaged in tirades and ad hominem attacks; I mean people who just politely disagreed and tried to engage in Socratic dialogue. 

Nope! He would have none of it! If you don't love everything I say, you hate me!

He blocked a friend of mine for an innocuous comment. "Well," I thought, "Here's a man who is totally full of himself. Time to move on." So I stopped reading and did, in fact, move on, leaving OnePeterFive off my daily visit list. Now that Skojec no longer runs the site, I visit again.

Ukrainian Nazis and the Collective West Partner on the Path to Nuclear War

The Collective West and Zelensky's most fervent wish

Zelensky was just quoted as saying, "Don't fear nuclear war. Just be ready for it." In this article I will henceforth call Zelensky, "Elensky" since the letter "Z" has been deemed illegal in Ukraine. I will do this since I don't want the Ukrainian Nazi Azov troops to ask the FBI to disappear me - not that I'm important enough to have anyone do that, but like Elensky said, I need to "be ready for it". 

By now the world should see that after WWII the bacilli of Nazism wafted eastward in the air and settled in the west of Ukraine, embedding itself in the Ukrainian Azov troops who use the Swastika as their insignia while they brutalize eastern Ukrainian Russian civilians with rape, torture or just shooting them on sight. What with all the hoopla about the Capitol "rioters" being evil Nazi type right-wingers one would think that the Left would be able to recognize real Nazis, but apparently not. The Left, that is, the Collective West (USA, EU and Australia) who hates itself and its former Christian civilization, loves Nazism. One can see true love blooming in the Collective West's falling all over itself with little red meme hearts flowing from the breasts of Western leaders calling for nuclear WWIII.

Barbarism on Steroids: California and Maryland May Join Colorado's Most Evil States Status

With the Reproductive Health Equity Act, an oxymoron if there ever was one, Colorado solidified access to abortion through all nine months of pregnancy for any reason or no reason. They also stipulated that no matter what the federal government does, abortion will still be the state sacrament. We all know abortion has absolutely nothing to do with reproductive (or any other) health. It certainly isn't healthy for the baby and takes a horrible toll on a woman's health with a higher risk of cancer, cervical incompetence, hemorrhage, and even death. As for equity, there's certainly none of that for the baby who is treated like a piece of property just like Dread Scott was in the famous slavery case.

Parents, Protect Your Children from Abuse!

There's been a lot in the news lately about the abuse of children through brainwashing in the classroom. It's hard to believe what some of the pierced, purple and pink haired, tattooed teachers are doing to little innocent children. Believe it! I suspect many of them are possessed and the devil hates innocence above all things! We are way past the time for abuse to be treated by going to the superiors of the abusers or the abusers themselves. We've seen too often how badly that turns out.

Have a Blessed Easter Sunday! Christ is Risen, Alleluia!

"I am the Resurrection and the Life. Whoever believes in Me will never die!" Lord, by Your Resurrection, increase our faith!

Albrecht Durerer (1471-1528)

Thirteenth and Fourteenth Stations: Jesus is Taken Down from the Cross, Jesus is Laid in the Tomb

 

Jesus is Taken Down from the Cross, Rembrandt

The Twelfth Station: Jesus Dies on the Cross

The Eleventh Station: Jesus is Nailed to the Cross

Albrecht Durer (circa 1500)

After all the agony of the preceding night and the long journey on the Via Dolorosa to Mount Clavary, the Skull Place, Jesus begins the final chapter. Jesus suffers every inhumanity man can inflict on a person. He has experienced in His soul, every sin every committed and suffered for them in the Garden. May we repent in tears our active participation in the cruelty inflicted in our gracious Lord. Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.

The Tenth Station: Jesus is Stripped of His Garments

James Tissot (1836-1902)

Jesus had nowhere to lay his head in life; he goes to his death with nothing except the scorn and hatred of his enemies and the betrayal of most of his friends. Only Mary and a few of the women and St. John were there to be with Him at the foot of the cross. O Jesus, through the intercession of Your Immaculate Mother, give me the grace never to betray You again.

 

Ninth Station: Jesus Falls the Third Time

Ilya Ovcharenko

How exhausted our Savior must have been leading Him to fall once again under the weight of the cross. When I am exhausted and discouraged, Lord, help me to unite my trials to Yours and help You to carry the cross.

The Eighth Station: Jesus Meets the Weeping Women of Jerusalem

Josef Piens Cooreman from St. Peter's Church in Gent, Belgium

The women brought their children to Jesus in happier days. Now they weep for Him as He warns them of the coming suffering in the dry wood. We are living those days in our time. Let us teach our children and grandchildren to imitate St. Francisco of Fatima and console the hidden Jesus. 

The Seventh Station: Jesus Falls the Second Time

Giandomenico Tiepolo - 1772

When we fall into sin, let us immediately recall the suffering of Christ for us and for our salvation, repent, and hurry to Confession and make reparation.

The Sixth Station: Veronica Wipes the Face of Jesus

Paul Delaroche 1797-1856

 We are called to become the image of Christ to the world. Let us worship before His Holy Face.

The Fifth Station: Simon Helps Jesus to Carry the Cross

Tiziano Vecellio, c. 1488/90 - 1576 (Titian)

Is Jesus asking you to help Him carry His cross by carrying your own?

The Fourth Station: Jesus Meets His Sorrowful Mother

Bartholomew Esteban Murillo (1617-1682)

The Third Station: Jesus Falls the First Time

 

The Second Station: Jesus Accepts His Cross

 

Passiontide Silence: No Articles Until Easter....The First Station: Jesus is Condemned to Death

 ....I've decided to go silent for the next two weeks and focus on the passion in silent prayer and meditation. I will be posting no articles and seriously limiting my presence on the internet. I will only be posting a Station for each day beginning today with the the first station, Jesus is Condemned to Death. I urge all our faithful readers to limit internet and social media use and instead focus on Scripture Reading, Meditation, Silent reflection, and prayer -- especially for those who persecute you. Let us unite ourselves to Christ whose Kingship is so hidden during the Passion. That's what I will be doing. May God draw us all closer to His Sacred Heart during these final two weeks leading up to the Easter Triduum and the celebration of the Resurrection, Christ's victory over sin and death. May Jesus Christ be praised!

The First Station: Jesus is Condemned to Death

Church Militant is in Full Court Press Shilling for their Holy Week "Retreat" in Texas!

Traditional Latin Mass at Mater Dei Catholic Parish in Dallas suburb of Irving. Why would anyone go to Easter Mass at a hotel when they can attend the Mass of the ages nearby?

Every day it's a new ad, and a new email from Church Militant TV for the Michael Voris Holy Week Show at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Dallas. For only $1250 (double occupancy) + travel expenses, you too can listen to almost a dozen talks by Michael Voris and, as a bonus, a couple of Q & A sessions too. Wow!

Just think! Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday at a hotel. 

But hurry, hurry, hurry...they have "limited space" and if you don't immediately slap down your bucks, there may be no room at the inn. (Oops! Wrong feast day.)

Ukraine: Story of a Marriage Gone Sour

I found the following explanation on Postcards from Paris & Elsewhere

"Recently, I read this interpretation of what might have caused the present problems in the Ukraine, somewhere on the internet. I have lost the source to this story but have the feeling that it was not in the mainstream media, since it obviously does not follow the official, uno-voce narrative colported by the West. All things considered though, I think it's not a bad explanation."
