Chaitanya Jyothi Museum Opening, 2000

RAMANAM
In the Name of The Father, and of The Son and of The Holy Spirit, Amen.

Countrymen,

ORBIS NON SUFFICIT
SOLUS DEUS SUFFICIT

Well, you can try.  You will disappoint yourself.  Your finitude will cause you to doubt yourself as God and you will be unhappy with yourself as creature.  Then you will try to ignore your finitude and deny others theirs, meaning, you will kill.  Either way, your neighbors are not going to like you and will take action to get you out of their midst.  And they will succeed against you.

Leftism is an attack on The Church.  The churches have joined the attack.  Now what?

Counter-attack, obviously, and harder, faster and farther than Leftists attack The Church.  At what point?

At Leftists’ weakest point: their self-deification.  Where is that?

Under their arms, under what they think they are best at doing.  And that is?

Preaching.

Coincidentally, the anonymous blogger of The Conservative Tree House posted yesterday on POTUS Trump’s initiatives addressing the depth economics of this matter of liberal capitalism.  It includes this line: In reality Steven Mnuchin has more control over National Security than Secretary of Defense General Mattis or Secretary of State Rex Tillerson ….

This put me in mind of who first started calling themselves liberals: German industrialists of the 19th Century, the ones who prevailed upon young Kaiser Bill to fire Bismarck and start a war for global domination.  Liberal capitalists.  Today: Globalists.  (Is neo-liberal-capitalist a stalking-horse for Globalist?)

Then it was take by force (enter and colonize).  Now it is take by deceptive preaching (equality, inclusion, diversity) while purchasing assets overseas then inducing the home country — soon to be no longer — to transfer her wealth (Kellogg-Briand Pact, Paris Accord, Carbon Credits) overseas to maintain those assets, which are privately held, of course.

And POTUS Trump knows how to upend that fleece of the home country and is doing so.  To squeals of pain and gales of laughter.  He may get crucified, but yeah, the temple is going down.

So yeah, I have great confidence in the liberality and intentions of neo-liberal capitalists with respect to my assets and my country’s.

The preaching of the churches is atrocious.  It cannot be distinguished from the ideology of the professoriate.

For a time, the Roman Catholic Church held out against Leftism, to include the guise of Leftism calling itself Liberation Theology.  No longer.  Their multi-national combat command, The Society of Jesus, drove hard left after 1942 and controls now the Papacy and soon the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (formerly Sacred Congregation of the Holy Office and before that Sacred Congregation of the Universal Inquisition).  The Roman Catholic Church has driven left to join the other churches, who are already hard left.

So the preaching of the churches attacks The Church.  The churches, along with the professoriate, the media/entertainment complex and remarkable bits of industry, commerce and banking combinations want to be their own God.  They cannot be, of course, but they want to be and say quite insistently that they are.  But that means they are lying.  And that means they are weak.

Lies are weak, not clever.  So tell them they are lying.  Make fun of their lies.  Ridicule their lies.  Tell them they are not God.  Tell them they are attacking God and that is not such a good idea.

There is some universal lesson being applied here and some are trying to see and learn it.  Doors do not close on one thing without others opening on another.  God never leaves man in the lurch.  Something contracting here means something is expanding there.  What?  Where?  How?  When?  In order to find answers to those questions, we have to keep moving by the best light we have in the circumstances we inhabit.  No condition is without redemptive elements and opportunities.  Think, reason, see, examine, test, hear, feel, use every cognitive asset, mediated and unmediated, to the max.  By these means drive home to what The Almighty wishes for us and our country.

– – – – – – – –

The weakness of evil is the irony of its position.  It has none of its own.  It depends entirely on good to exist at all.  This is the great truth of religion worthy of the name.  To attack God you must first have God.  This is the point at which to attack Leftists: their dependence on structure to demolish structure and their insufferable and pathetic hypocrisy trying to conceal their contingency from themselves and from the world.

You cannot be your own God.  You will disappoint yourself.  You are a creature.  Accept your contingency and love your God.  You have one only, thank you very much.  Never doubt the power of speaking the truth, anywhere you wish to speak it.  So speak it.  Not to power because truth is power, the only power that self-justifies and persists, and has no interest in hearing about itself.

And do not think that speaking the truth is a revolutionary act (Gramsci).  It is a common act par excellence.  God, after all, goes through our lives mostly unnoticed!  Just speak the truth where it is not heard or is heard too infrequently.  But first, you must know the truth.  Know God, do not try to be God.

Then, when a Leftist opens their yap and you can, identify their lie and say what it is.  And identify the truth.  Go under their preaching, sap it, mine it, blow it up.  And preach God.

Update 6: Now if I was an evil Russian leader who dreamed about getting rid of the US hegemony, what would I do?

But no evil Russian leader would dream of doing that.  They would dream of a strong USA they could loot and bat about for grins and giggles but mainly loot.  But never create a total chaos, because then you go down with it.  Hillary is a total chaos, as is the Global Left.  And she and they are anti-Christian.

Vladimir is an evil Russian leader, but he is a Christian and a statesman, averse to chaos that would engulf him and not a Global Leftist.  And that is why he hates Hillary (and why Lefties hate him).  Look at her.  Everything she touches goes Tango Uniform, just as does anything touched by her former boss and his crone, ValJar.

Lefties’ obsession with Russia/Trump rests on the fact that Trump is the candidate Vladimir wanted in the White House. Lefties know that.  They are right about that.  That doesn’t mean Vladimir or FSB put him there, although one should assume they made every effort to ensure or at least not obstruct that result, as they have done on their own behalf in every USA election since 1914, and as do all the time an array of other nation states.  And vice-versa.  It does mean — and they are right about this — that they think he is the best choice for them.

So they got what they wanted.  That lowers tensions and dangers just in itself.  It also opens opportunities, and those, after all, are the stuff of statecraft, of life together on “spaceship earth.”

A leader — Russian, American, whatever, evil or not — wants a strong adversary because they are the most fun and productive to work with/against.  How are you going to feel accomplishment — or acquire things you need! — going up against an incompetent, incontinent push-over?  Heraclitus: Conflict is the father of all things.  The Brits made a delightful TV series a few years back exploring this phenomenon.  Called Sleepers.

The likes of Morsi, Erdogan, Amin, Mugabe, the Austrian Corporal, the Georgian Genocide, the Kenyan Messiah and the World Caliph fail because they essay to be adulated rather than to lead.

Mr. Putin likes to lead.  He is very good at it.  So is Donald Trump.

Statesmanship is land navigation and seafaring.  Air, space and cyber support those two fundamentals.  Statesmanship is not chess, not even close.  Statecraft has neither a circumscribed playground nor rules-restricted actors.
