WOKE RAMADAN
From Rod Dreher's Diary

PREFACE:

 Rod is spot on and I share his sentiments about this whole month of militant and evangelical Alphabet-soupism.   WOKE is a religion, the viel of totalitarism, and they mean to destoy the past and attack they very foundation that gave them freedom.  I want to beleive for manh with same sex attaraction it used to be about being free to love who you wanted and not fear violence an rejection, but after the Supreme Court permitted Same-Sex Unions, the gays got pushed aside and the Transwakos now run the bus.  The one people to end this madness are those individuals who want to be free to celebrate, but the Transwakos and militant gays have silence and intimidated them.   My 2 cents, Padre

Woke Ramadan

It’s Pride Month now, or as some of us call it, Woke Ramadan. You all know that I am no observer of this disgusting holiday. But this year, I am even more disgruntled than usual. I’ve had more than enough of it. Look:

  

Every other day or so in this space, I highlight one or more examples of the LGBT movement conquering more space in public and private life. It’s like the religion of white liberals, and corporate America. I’m old enough to remember when we were told by Andrew Sullivan and others that legalizing gay marriage would introduce bourgeois values into the gay community. Didn’t happen. In fact, the opposite happened, and the broader culture has allowed itself to become as obsessed with sex and sexuality as many LGBT people are.

If you had told normies twenty years ago where all this was headed, they wouldn’t have believed you. I know this for a fact, because I did, and was considered to be a fanatic and a bigot. I’m to the point now where I don’t expect society to say, “Enough.” But there does seem to have been a change of some sort. Look:

  

It’s the never-ending propaganda that’s doing it. I think most people by now don’t give a damn if gay and lesbian people pair up and get on with their lives. In Budapest, I see gay people walking almost every day, hand in hand, on the streets. Nobody’s going to mess with them. That’s what Sullivan et alia promised. If it had stopped there, things would be stable. But of course it didn’t. The trans thing exploded, and the same logic of individual autonomy, and sexual autonomy, kicked in. It’s insane, but people, especially educated people (always the most vulnerable to this kind of crap), accepted it as revealed truth. Now we are a society where the sexual mutilation of children is approved and encouraged by the highest authorities in the land, including the President of the United States.

This is seriously corrupt. And I see every day on social media hard evidence of the colonization of the minds of very small children by this garbage, at the hands of their teachers. We are assured by the Professional Calmers that it’s not happening, and if it is happening, it’s good that it’s happening. At this point I’m so cynical that I doubt the American people have it in them to say no. But maybe I’m wrong.

Look:

  

Who’s that, the Clyde Tolson Rangers? Ten years from now, on current trends, the national security state will have been weaponized to track down orthodox Christians and other hate-crimers who refuse to conform. If you can’t read the signs here, I don’t know what to tell you.

Maybe the Trump verdict will wake some folks up, and make them realize how state and institutional capture by the Left stands to affect anyone and everyone who dissents from what Mary Harrington calls “the Omnicause.”

In Seattle, the city is undertaking a manhunt to capture the person who defaced a Pride crosswalk. In this video, a city leader breaks down into tears over it. If they catch the guy, they’re going to charge him with a felony. A felony! And they say blasphemy laws are a thing of the past. Note well that Trump’s behavior by paying off Stormy Daniels, if it was illegal at all, was a misdemeanor — until DA Alvin Bragg used an arcane legal theory to bump it up to a felony, in this transparently unfair trial.

On that subject, read former federal prosecutor Andy McCarthy’s autopsy of that political show trial. Excerpt:

If you think this was a one-off, you’ve not only missed the last 15 years of what passes for law enforcement under both the progressive-prosecutor project in America’s big blue cities and — for most of that time — Democratic Party control of the Justice Department. You’ve missed over a century of American legal devolution, during which the law was reimagined into an extortionate weapon of social “progress,” due process devolved into punitive process, and bad precedents were inevitably exploited into monstrous precedents.

What happened in Manhattan was monstrous. The fallout is the antithesis of a constitutional republic that presumes innocence, imposes the burden of proof on the state, venerates its due-process rules, and guarantees equal protection of law. The antithesis is now the norm. Regardless of what happens to Donald Trump, all of us will live to regret it.

Donald Trump is very far from an anti-gay figure. But I wonder if the serious erosion of confidence in American public institutions among his supporters, brought about by this sham trial, will transfer into a greater willingness to reject other aspects of elite rule — such as the High Holy Month Of Pride.

I’ll say it again: if you come to Budapest, what you will see, in part, is what the world looked like when gays and lesbians were a normal part of public life — Budapest is a liberal city — but did not utterly dominate it with their narcissism. Get on the train, travel 2 1/2 hours to Vienna, and you’ll see what a conquered city looks like.

(By the way, today is the feast day in the Catholic Church of St. Charles Lwanga and his companions. They were martyred in the 1880s in Uganda, for refusing the sexual advances of the lustful King of Uganda, and refusing his commands to abandon their Christian faith. The king martyred a large number of Catholics and Anglicans both. If ever there was a saint for our times, it is St. Charles Lwanga.)

It’s just the fakery of the whole progressive project, you know? This captures it well:

  

And the lies, like this one about the German cop killed the other day by the stabby Afghan “refugee”:

  

Sorry, I’m rambling. It’s that kind of morning. I have a big and very unpleasant day ahead of me, and am trying to avoid getting started.

Voltaire's birthday 11-21-1694 - A brief essay by Steve Weidenkopf

Today marks the three hundred and thirtieth birthday of the Frenchman François-Marie Arouet, better known by his nom de plume, Voltaire (1694-1778).

Born into a bourgeois family during the reign of Louis XIV, the “Sun King” (r. 1643-1715), Voltaire suffered tragedy at a young age when his mother died. Never close with his father or brother, Voltaire exhibited a rebellious attitude toward authority from his youth. His brilliant mind was fostered in the care of the Society of Jesus, who introduced him to the joys of literature and theater. Despite his later criticisms against the Church, Voltaire, throughout his life, fondly recalled his dedicated Jesuit teachers.

Although he spent time as a civil servant in the French embassy to the Hague, Voltaire’s main love was writing—an endeavor where he excelled in various genres, including poetry, which led to his appointment as the royal court poet for King Louis XV. Widely recognized as one of the greatest French writers, and even hyperbolically referred to by ...

"Climate" narrative was wrong. They are admitting it finally.

Kind of. This "explanation" tries to pin it on being a bit naive, being a bit too aggressive in their analysis...

No. Climate narrative was a global conspiracy to allow a global elite to rule the world. To delete 80% of the world population. To destroy all western governments by forcing them to ruin their economies. By forcing immigration to destroy the backbone of western civilization. By poisoning the world population with drugs and fake food and spraying them with chemicals. You will own NOTHING, not even your children. Their goal is to enslave and remove all rights for the rest of humanity, whomever survives.

They are doing a hell of a job implementing this. In the meantime, here's their shit mea culpa.

The Proud Minister

One day there came into the Garden a man in torn clothes badly bruised and cut, who said to the Lover, “In the name of the Beloved I demand your help.”

So the Lover and the Disciple let him in and dressed his wounds and prepared the best of the vegetables from the Garden for him to eat.  When his wounds had been dressed and he had eaten and rested the Lover asked him how he had fallen into this plight, to which the man replied, “I was Minister of the Beloved in a city near this place, where I preached His gospel and expounded His doctrine to the people. I pointed out to them how their sins had made them wholly hateful to the Beloved and how therefore they were utterly beyond the range of His love and He would condemn them to eternal torments, whereon some fell into despair and wept bitterly but many were angry.  One day the magistrates called me before them and begged me to leave the city and preach elsewhere for they said I had made many people so angry and desperate that they feared there might be a riot and they might not be able to protect me but that I might suffer some injury.  I, however, very zealous for the Beloved and believing that the magistrates only feared that their own sins might be proclaimed, preached the more vehemently, denounced the magistrates and made it abundantly clear that the whole wicked city was foredoomed to eternal punishment by the just provision of the Beloved.  Whereon a mob, stirred up no doubt by the corrupt and venal magistrates, fell upon me with sticks and stones, nearly killing me and driving me out of the city in the state in which I came to you.”

“My friend,” said the Lover, “this was not a good deed of yours, for besides denying the unfathomable compassion of the Beloved, you have by your obstinacy caused these people to commit a grievous sin, and this cannot be pleasing to the Beloved, that through you who profess to be His minister the people should become worse.  Surely you remember that He Himself said, ‘If they persecute you in one city flee to another.’”

Therefore the man was very angry, and cursing the Lover, said, “I see that I have had a very false report of you and I do not believe that you are a servant of the Beloved at all.  When I came to you so injured for the Beloved’s sake you set before me only herbs and fruits although the garden is full of birds which you could have killed to make me a worthy meal.  I shall proclaim everywhere that you are no true servant of the Beloved but a mere falterer who dares not suffer in the cause of the Beloved.  Be sure that you are foreordained to eternal torments who suffer nothing here.”

For the man was so blinded by his own pride that he could not perceive the scars on the hands and feet and the brows of the Lover nor how the cloth beneath the armpits of his tunic was dyed with a red dye.  So he went out of the Garden cursing and shouting.

But the Lover looked sad and said, “A man like this does much harm to the cause of the Beloved, for by thus speaking falsely about the Beloved he may bring men to fear Him but none to love Him, and by love alone can any man approach the Beloved.”
