Ukraine ($$$$)

It all makes perfect sense
Expressed in dollars and cents
Pounds shillings and pence

— Roger Waters

I think this is the moment where the “war” in Ukraine has jumped the shark. IF Vietnam was about slowing the spread of communism the conflict in Ukraine is about imposing the WEF / Soros view of the world— open borders, unlimited refugees, global “democracy” censorship, de-carbonization, etc. The easiest way to know WHO is on the wrong side is to LOOK at WHO and WHAT is supporting this phony conflict. The tin pot dictator Justin Trudeau is all-in on Ukraine and that’s all I need to know about what outcome freedom-loving peoples should want in that corrupt s*** hole in Eastern Europe that Biden and Co. have been using as a piggybank.

Lenten Rosary 2022

For many, as I have often told you and now tell you even in tears, conduct themselves as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their end is destruction. Their God is their stomach; their glory is in their “shame.” Their minds are occupied with earthly things. Phil 3:17-4:1

(1) A Pastoral Letter from Bishop Philip Egan (Bishop of Portsmouth)

“The churches of Italy were kept open day and night for prayer and sacraments; Christians were asked to undertake a deep, personal renewal and conversion of life, with prayer, self-denial and charity. Above all, everyone was encouraged to recite the Rosary, to invoke the help of the Blessed Virgin Mary.”

Weekend 527.1

“When a sieve is shaken, the husks appear; so do one’s faults when one speaks. As the test of what the potter molds is in the furnace, so in tribulation is the test of the just. The fruit of a tree shows the care it has had; so too does one’s speech disclose the bent of one’s mind. Praise no one before he speaks, for it is then that people are tested.”
Sir 27:4-7

Back to the potters wheel for a second…

On the train back to London and a couple of dandies’ (classically trained musicians) were throatily arguing for escalation and US involvement in the Ukraine. I was shocked by the uniformity of thought and believe it’s driven by the same kind of mass hysteria used to harden the COVID response. My intent here isn’t to weigh in on the ethical/moral justifications for escalation, but rather to comment on the perniciousness of groupthink. It’s a formula being perfected by those in power and it will undoubtedly be unleashed on anyone (or any group) countering official narratives once this latest crisis passes. So please beware of politicians who use the phrase ‘global democracy’ because it does NOT mean your individual rights but accepting inflation as a patriotic duty¹ or a regulated thermostat or whatever sacrifice the ruling class requires you to accept next for the public good.

¹Standing up for our values is not without cost.

Well, anyway

Those are the words a cognitively impaired Biden uses when he forgets his train of thoughts and fits perfectly where we are right now as a country. IF you ever said (or thought) things couldn’t get worse than get ready for more heaps of cognitive dissonance flung at you by the “expert” class as they gaslight you into disbelieving your own eyes.

**Update: Right on cue, and now that COVID has ended, we’re rolling to the next manufactured crisis. Psaki suggests that “standing up for our values is not without cost” (see point four) and other elites are invoking history (Pelosi and Graham) to justify this next round of manipulation and exploitation.

Russia / Ukraine
(1) Biden and Harris want to lecture us on the inviolability of borders whilst our southern border remains open.
(2) Biden (and other elites) have gotten rich from their ventures in the Ukraine so our intertest in protecting this authoritarian (via blood and treasure) regime is just about protecting their financial interests.
(3) Biden talks about protecting “freedom” and “liberty” via intervention in Eastern Europe whilst failing to condemn the actions of Trudeau’s crackdown on civil liberties via the Emergency Act.
(4) Biden is using our intervention in the Ukraine as a distraction from domestic turmoil, specifically surging energy prices. He wants you to pay $6 or $7 a gallon to promote investment in green technology.
(5) Biden is likely hoping tensions in the Ukraine delay a decision by the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates (which will likely topple this entire house of cards).
(6) Biden is using as a wedge between the two factions of the GOP (see below).

The GOP is also exploiting the situation to make RINOs (establishmentarians) like Pence, Rubio, Cheney, Graham, McConnell and Romney look palatable and less insufferable.
