In the Name of The Father, and of The Son and of The Holy Spirit, Amen.
Countrymen,
ORBIS NON SUFFICIT
SOLUS DEUS SUFFICIT
Tyrants routinely attempt to ingratiate themselves by arresting language to support their pretensions. Orwell wrote books about this. Today, queers and statists do just that. They do not deserve to succeed, nor must they. They can be stopped and dismissed, driven out of the cities and towns into the wastelands they merit and belong.
Where there is being, there is the logos of being.
Parmenides
The word is God, God is the word. Who is less than God is not authorized, entitled or capable to own language or to define its meaning and purport. Language belongs to the dimension of spirit and its functions, which are religion, culture and morality.
Language is liberty. No self-promoter owns language or controls it. And every one of them should be told they do not.
Speak the truth to falsehood and laugh in its face. That is the way to overcome tyranny. It must succeed because it is the truth.
Language belongs to itself. It has aseity, as God does, as God only does. Language is God.
I condemn over-bearing and self-righteousness, queering and dandying, tyrannizing and self-promoting.
It is unseemly and absurd to condone homosexuals’ subterfuge to arrest the word gay, a wonderful word and condition they have no business owning because they do not embody its meaning. Nor is it comme il faut, or even dernier cri, to condone statists’ exertions to present themselves as liberal or progressive, two delightful and commendable words and sensitivities statists have no business owning because they do not represent their meanings.
I condemn the effort to arrest perfectly good words by individuals whose sole interest in capturing them is to paint themselves as something they are not, namely, conditions of existence indicated by the words they want and try to affix to themselves.
Homosexuals are hardly gay, they are desperate. And statists are hardly liberal or progressive, they are tyrannical.
Homosexuals, or better, queers, and statists, or better tyrants, deserve to be told to shut up and behave themselves. It should be a mission of every human being to do just that directly to the face of such individuals. Homosexuals and statists are enemies of humanity, spirit, culture, prosperity and history.
They abound today because this is Kali Yuga. There is no paucity of opportunity, therefore, to declare the truth to falsehood directly, courageously and indomitably. Doing so must be attended by success because the truth has no second. The best offense and defense is to laugh at them.
