As Is The Feeling,
So Is The Result.
Criminal conspiracy indeed. Flynn was/is? the door to revealing it. It is American elected, appointed, and hired decision-makers embedding the Moslem Brotherhood, their cloud of Salafi fronts, fellow travelers, and IRGC allies inside DOJ, DOD, DHS, DOS, CIA, Treasury, White House and virtually all agencies. In other words, stewards of American liberty and sovereignty handing their countrymen’s treasures to spoliation by their enemies, no doubt upon earnest of this consideration and that.
This infidelity began some decades ago. Bushies pushed it into overdrive upon the attack of 11 September 2001. Their successors went warp-speed from 2009. Moslems have made it so that where there are Moslems, moral tone dissipates and disappears. Institutions are not maintained. Responsibilities are not valued. Law ceases to exist. Beauty vanishes. Charm is condemned. A man’s word is meaningless.
It takes tremendous courage to resist the lure of appearances. The power of being which is manifest in such courage is so great that the gods tremble in fear of it. Paul Tillich, The Courage to Be. Where POTUS Trump and LTG (R) Flynn walk, the innocent rejoice and the guilty tremble.
Never doubt for an instant, Countrymen, the efficacy of your patriotism.
The world is real. Taking it as the world is a real delusion.
The ontological ground for this essay Augustine noted with this famous dictum: esse qua esse bonum est. Combined with the Imago Dei doctrine, that ontological ground and this essay can be built out (economos) to something along the lines of: trust yourself, your nature is divine, immutable, permanent, strong, and blissful; enjoy it.
The great early church historian Cyril C. Richardson posed to his students the question: why, with its welter of religious yearning and experimentation, did Greco-Roman Civilization adopt Christianity as their escutcheon?
He would listen to answers from his students, staring fixedly at the ceiling, as he always did — and where students occasionally fixed, shall we say, objects of interest — and then declare a reason usually omitted: Christianity became the religion of Greco-Roman Civilization because it was superior morally to the alternatives. In other words, it was true-to-life.
Cyril C.’s reference was to the ontological ground expressed by Augustine, just quoted, and by this essay, not to any set of moral or any other kind of codes or laws, which, as everyone knows, cannot enforce their terms and thus are soteriologically useless.
Christianity’s grounding in the divinity of creation, in telling the truth, in common human-divine sensibility and uncommon divine-human love, clinched the deal with Greco-Roman man and woman high and low.
Update 1: Not long now and prosecutors and even trial lawyers will realize that reputations and careers are to be made hauling before the bench participants in this criminal conspiracy to undo the founding of The United States Of America by force of arms. The perps have made themselves a huge target of opportunity.
Update 2: At least some of these guys must be busting a gut for a chance to prosecute the perps. I expect a preference cascade coming to do just that to insurrectionists. After all, prosecutors belong to the system — The USA — our precious insurrectionists are in train of throwing down by force of arms. With luck, they will eat their way up the chain of causation to boys and girls — and foreign adversaries — funding Democracy Alliance and their cloud of fronts.
Update 3: There is that word vision again. Upholding the law is not in their to-do list. Only achievement of visions, theirs. In former times this outlook on life and reality was deemed mental illness and moral turpitude.
Glad to hear you have put the blighters in court on a matter. In fact, I heaved my lazy limbs out of the rack this morning thinking that it will not be long now that a preference cascade appears comprising prosecutors and even trial lawyers realizing that careers and reputations are to be made hauling insurrectionists before the bench and into statutory lines of fire on a smorgasbord of delightful little reminiscences from the annals of American jurisprudence.
Visions indeed. Americans for law enforcement happily would settle.
Update 4: Susan Katz: Amid Capitol riot, FBI released files from Kennedy-era investigation into Nancy Pelosi’s father
Ron Kampeas: New head of powerful US liberal donor group looks to shake secretive reputation
To promote the best interest of mankind, you must cultivate the holy urge of service to others and the attitude of sharing. The parrot-talk, “Service to man is service to God (Manava seva is madhava seva)” does not extend to all people; those who reel off this axiom don’t enquire who has to be served. They are eager only to fill their own stomachs; for this purpose they restrict their mental horizons to the uplift of their own people. Thus they lay waste the valuable education they have received. One forgets the fact that God is in perceptible form in all beings. Service rendered to any being is service offered to God. This has to be the chief goal of the educated. A human is God (nara is Narayana). Every single act has to be elevated as an act of service to God.
