Artifice of Eternity

“People no longer accept this as being self-defense. Killing masses of little children, people don't accept it anymore. During the holocaust our grandparents would have been delighted if people in the free world had stood up for them. But today if you stand up for the Palestinian people-- who desperately need and deserve the voices of righteous people around the world-- you will be labeled as a self-hating Jew. Or if you are not Jewish, you will be labeled as anti-Semitic. Why is this happening? Because the Zionist movement uses every tool at their disposal to silence criticism, and dismissing righteous people as ‘anti-Semitic’ is one of their most powerful tools. There has been a decades-long effort to confuse the masses. There has been a coordinated effort to make ‘Judaism’ synonymous with ‘Israeli Nationalism,’ so that anyone standing up for the human rights of Palestinians can be accused of criticizing all Jews. But this is deadly wrong. For me Judaism means one thing only. The...

“West Point Cadets’ Silent Revolt—Anonymous Graduates and Faculty Reveal Why President Trump Didn’t Shake Their Hands” By Robert Hawks  May 28, 2025 WEST POINT, NY — In an unprecedented turn of events that unfolded with all the subtlety of a brass band playing “Taps” backwards, President Trump declined to extend his stay at the graduation ceremony of the United States Military Academy, leaving the newly minted second lieutenants’ hands as unsullied by presidential sweat as the honor code itself. The mainstream media, ever allergic to nuance and eager to maintain their symphony of static, hasn’t said a peep about the real reason for the snub.  But through a series of clandestine interviews with anonymous graduates and equally reticent Academy faculty members, I have unearthed the hidden story of this ceremonial duck-and-cover.  The reason, dear reader, lies within the very marrow of West Point’s ethos: the Honor Code. For those unfamiliar (or who haven’t been paying attent...

As Elon Musk became one of Donald J. Trump’s closest allies last year, leading raucous rallies and donating about $275 million to help him win the presidency, he was also using drugs far more intensely than previously known, according to   people familiar with his activities. Mr. Musk’s drug consumption went well beyond occasional use. He told people he was taking so much ketamine, a powerful anesthetic, that it was affecting his bladder, a known effect of chronic use. He took Ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms. And he traveled with a daily medication box that held about 20 pills, including ones with the markings of the stimulant Adderall, according to a photo of the box and people who have seen it. It is unclear whether Mr. Musk, 53, was taking drugs when he became a fixture at the White House this year and was handed the power to slash the federal bureaucracy. But he has exhibited erratic behavior insulting  cabinet members, gesturing like a Nazi and garbling his answers in a...

The thugs throw blanket blame at black people and “Leftists” whatever in their racist and hatefully bigoted imagination these bugaboos are. But the origins of revolt, violent revolt, against a oligarchic corruption of the courts of justice and civil laws against workers and laborers and even a nascent middle class… began with the very beginnings of European civil laws. At the very end of the 15th century, in 1595, the German King Maximilian I established the first civil law system banning the the resolution of wrongs committed by revenge, or the “right to vendetta.” Called Ewiger Landfriede, Eternal Peace, disputes could only be resolved through a newly established system of courts and advocates. This paradigm shift in Western Civilization gave the monopoly of right to violence to none other than the State. And the “State” was assumed to be an objective protector of the people. Even Kings could not dictate. But in practice, the wealthy and powerful now could manipulate judicial decisio...

“When Hillary Clinton was first lady, a furor erupted over reports that she had once made $100,000 from a $1,000   investment in cattle futures . Even though it had happened a dozen years before her husband became president, it became a scandal that lasted weeks and forced the White House to initiate a review. Thirty-one years later, after dinner at Mar-a-Lago, Jeff Bezos agreed to finance a promotional film about Melania Trump that will reportedly   put $28 million directly in her pocket   — 280 times the Clinton lucre and in this case from a person with a vested interest in policies set by her husband’s government. Scandal? Furor? Washington moved on while barely taking notice. The Trumps are hardly the first presidential family to profit from their time in power, but they have done more to monetize the presidency than anyone who has ever occupied the White House. The scale and the scope of the presidential mercantilism has been breathtaking. The Trump family and its bu...

Those who think themselves capable of grasping the nature of God would do well to consider whether they have looked into themselves.

"I was hungry" and you cut SNAP. "I was thirsty" and you cut funding to ensure clean water. "I was sick" and you cut medicaid. "I was a stranger" and you deported me. "I was in prison" and you just left me there to rot. "Whatever you do to the least of these, you do unto me."

1. “Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” Uhhh…. This life is our home while we’re living it. We are not in some distasteful purgatory just waiting to get to the end. What a coward’s way out. Nihilistic, vapid, desacralizing. Jesus and the Father clearly want us concerned with (loving) the life around us and fully engaged in it. We are followers of the Way and ministers of the Gospel. Matthew 25 agrees. Your will be done on Earth! Not just the church. Church doesn’t even have a roll in the Lord’s Prayer aside from the universalizing plural pronouns, “our Father”; “give us today”; “forgive us or sins.” We’re all together in this project of love and care and seeking the Divine. Judgment of the Deniers won’t be pretty. No poverty, no homelessness, no sectarianism. All knowledge and love and joy. That’s heaven. Jesus tells us to pray that we work for the same here on Earth. God’s will is not for the Thugs to disparage humanity, hurt it, and turn away in the and fragility of soull...

Today, yet again, Stan depends on one word to keep his book holier than the Spirit, a person wholly part of the three-person’d god. But Stan prefers his book. Stan cannot do without 2 Timothy where Paul writes that, “All scripture is god-breathed…” [Never mind that Adam was god breathed and not perfect. Never mind that Jesus breathed on the disciples and they weren’t perfect. A book, though? Perfect! And Stan oddly translates it as godbreathed “out”. There is no “out” in the Greek. Also, Stan bizarrely thinks Paul is quoting Luke’s gospel when it’s easily seen - and universally agreed - that Matthew and Luke both had Mark as a forerunner and a book of Jesus’ sayings we call the Q document as a forerunner. Paul and Luke are quoting from the same godbreathed document of scripture that was lost to history: not godbreathed enough apparently.] Stan would prefer it if the Holy Spirit was contained in a book. Controllable, able to be mastered. Just ain’t the case.  What Paul absolutely do...

 

Hermetically sealed for protection: Stan Pure Bullshit: Anonymous None of them offer a faith for the real world. They cannot contend. They only stew in impotent anxiety: too many Whiteness demons. Μὴ  φοβοῦ;  μόνον  πίστευε.

Today, Stan writes, “But  there is  Truth . Jesus said, ‘I am ... the truth’ (John 14:6). Our culture denies Objective Truth while operating on the basis that there is.” His culture does. That’s absolutely true. But my christian culture does not. We proclaim the Triune God as the absolute being bearing perfect characteristics of what we call Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. And each of these characteristics depend upon their right expression when in constant relationship with the other two.  But we also agree with Paul. We cannot grasp any of this objectively with perfection. We grasp Objective Truth imperfectly. “ For our knowledge is imperfect and our prophecy is imperfect;  but when the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away.  When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became a man, I gave up childish ways.  For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall un...

… which is precisely why the very existence of the world is a sign that it has been loved into being. ___ paraphrase from, Catholicism: A Journey to the Heart of Faith, Robert Barron

 

Lust - Addiction - Betrayal - Greed - Lies - Abuse of Women - Laziness The wicked sins of this world is what the Thugs hear when they read “ Do not be conformed to this world…” This is what Craig has in my mind when yesterday he wrote, “ those who seek to conform to the world in an attempt to gain the favor of the world.” Or, at least it’s what Romans 12 has in mind. [Craig just wanted to smear those who read scripture and absorb it in devotion rather than worshipping it untouched.] And it’s true that all the above wickednesses are ways that Trump and various hand-picked members of his administration have confirmed to this world in a narcissistic drive for favor. Other sins, less destructive, though, we all have and therefore should be humble. Craig quotes from Romans 12, which warns us, “ For by the grace given to me I bid every one among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith which God h...

Craig rejects everything about the world and refuses to love it: “Which seems unlikely for those who seek to conform to the world in an attempt to gain the favor of the world.” Thank god there is one who loves the world with an absolute love: “For god so loved the world he sent his only Son… not to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him.“ “For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do: sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh.” If Christ had not emptied himself to conform to human flesh, redemption would not have come. But now that we ARE saved by his conforming to the world. What do we do? “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” Craig has turned the gospel life upside down. He wants a closed club. He cannot love what god loves so much.

And Craig also loves to give his money to rich white people… Craig, on Monday, kept his membership active in the bizarrely mass movement of self-destructive White masochism by yet again blinding himself to rich Takers by blaming poor and struggling Americans. Or, in Craig’s language, Colored people and those who love Colored people (Craig’s straight out of the 1950s). He chooses to ignore what’s obviously going on: And then! in order to conceal his disgust at black people he: 1. Co-opts self-hating black people who, in a psychotic attempt to escape the reality of anti-blackness that constitutes the society ALL Americans live in, try to show their White patriotism. Like OJ, they think it will protect them. That there are self-hating black people is due to the same reason there are other-hating White people: we all swim in the same dirtied social sea that is Whiteness. 2. In Craig’s most egregious move, he shows only a truncated clip of Aaron McGruder that appears to suggest black people...

… Jesse ran away never to return.  They hide behind a Psalm about shunning the foolish and in the same breath talk about converting the world. And while they support a King who cheats the poor and blasphemes the Spirit.  They haven’t really read the prophets. If they can’t talk to me, a believer in one, holy, universal, apostolic church and in the resurrection of the Incarnate Word… it all just looks like immature fragility. They follow a White Supremacist gospel that adds burdens to people not like them. They haven’t really read Paul admonitions to the early church.

For the first 500 years of its life the christian church worked on thinking about the divine nature of Jesus without appearing to suggest that there are multiple gods: one nature/substance ( homoousios ), three persons ( hypostases ). Roughly . For 500 years after Chalcedon the challenge was to affirm Jesus’ human nature: fully divine   nature/substance ( homoousios ) and fully human   nature/substance ( homoousios) in one reasonable soul and body, or person. (Roughly) When it comes to god, there is a conceptual two sides to the coin. In the West, we are instinctually inclined from to think of God as one, general giving chiefest of places to God the Father. While there shouldn’t be chiefest of places among the Trinity of persons, it’s what we do by thinking first of the one God.  This leads to all kinds of problems, the biggest one being that Western Christians use metaphors for god like Kingship, THE Father (gender required), Judge of all, etc. The Authoritarianism patin...
