Notes From The Field – Book 3:3

-I sense there is a deep thirst in society for a return to the societal virtues of the past as most observe the crumbling ruins around them caused by the adoption of an evil, leftist worldview.

-Halloween is the glorification and celebration of evil and darkness. Its popularity is a reflection of the world. If people experienced the evil they celebrated, Halloween would disappear from mainstream culture.

-Death is the pinnacle of all fears. If you’re not afraid to die, nothing else in this world should scare you.

-The person who is brave and courageous, wins.

-White Christians were the ones who led the movement to abolish slavery. It wasn’t other blacks, who were selling their African neighbours to the slave ships, nor was it the predominantly secular slave owners.

-Christianity is solely responsible for our conception of “rights.” All were created in the image of God, so all are equal in value. The concept of equal rights has the Christian faith as its foundation.

-Christianity was the soil in which the seeds of Western civilization was planted, and was able to flourish.

-The people who know the worst things about you, and still love you, are the greatest blessings you can have in life.

-Drugs and alcohol are isolating. People use them to aid in connecting with others, yet end up depressed and lonely.

-Saying and speaking the truth out loud is more powerful than any gun. The truth is a threat to the liars who run the world.

-We are at war for Truth.

-If we allow people to treat us poorly, we will never be disappointed that they continue to do so.

-Every worldview is based on faith. Even the rationalist must place faith in his ability to reason correctly and inerrantly. The world around us is proof that this is impossible.

-Almost every critic of the Bible makes it obvious they’ve never bothered to read it. They show themselves to be superficial thinkers.

-Spend some time watching a bird and tell me there is no God.

-My heart aches for the downtrodden; yet my heart burns in anger against the evil men responsible for so much hurt in the world.

-Society is okay with comfortable lies; lies that do not cost what truth demands.

-I wish I had moments where I could turn my brain off and rest my mind. Its inability to stop is the only way I feel abnormal.

-Those who walk in nature commune with the handiwork of God. Those in cities merely witness the evil and meaninglessness of humanity.

-In many ways, I have been humbled, yet still have a long way to go down the road of humility.

-Sometimes it takes many years to make peace with those you’ve wronged and those who have wronged you. It always starts with a right understanding of your own heart.

-Oh how I love and long for the Ancient of Days.

-There is no truer line from a hymn than John Newton‘s “…that saved a wretch like me.”

-We live in a time where people think their opinions are more important than their deeds.

-There is no lasting happiness or contentment outside of God. All feelings are fleeting moments between the mundane and meaningless.

-If science can’t determine how the pyramids were built, and as of yet it hasn’t, then we should reject any prognostications that so-called scientists make about evolution, climate, vaccines, or anything for that matter.

-The pursuit of one dopamine hit after another can only lead to unhappiness. Very few these days pursue anything meaningful.

-How did “sticks and stones can break my bones, but names will never hurt me” morph into “hate speech” and “words are violence”? The former embodies personal strength of mind and character while the latter signifies deep weakness. We are solely responsible for how words affect us. To live unbothered by the words of others is a show of strength.

-If you reject the notion of God, you’ll easily celebrate the extermination of babies and call it a “health service.” Reject God and you’ll accept all manner of evil.

-One of the amazing things about our current culture is how many people are obsessed with their bodies and appearance, yet spend so little time concerned about the condition of their minds.

-Those who trust their government can only do so if they are historically illiterate.

-Diversity crushes nations. People will vote in accordance with their identity, not their ideology. We have created a dysfunctional world where identity trumps all.

-The inversion is deep, and it is dark. Absolutely everything we see and hear now is a lie. The truth is hated, and the evil influence of government and media continues to grow.

-Deleting God from Western discourse has made us sick and weak. Only a return to the great Physician can save us.

-We are here for but a short time to speak the truth and share the gospel. We are here to redeem the time for the days are evil.

-“The heart of man is desperately wicked…” There is enough observational data to know this is true.

-Ideology and beliefs either amplify or subdue the evil that resides in the human heart.

-Christmas without the celebration and adoration of Christ is just empty commercialism. It is a holiday devoid of any true meaning without the remembering of this epic event of human history.

-“Has God really said…” The serpent’s first lie and deception continued throughout history and flourishes today. The rejection of God‘s word and words is the cause of almost all the world’s evil and ills.

-Divorce law is written by lawyers for lawyers. It is a fleecing scheme that cares not one whit for the pain and anguish the couple is suffering.

-People who dislike true things being spoken or obvious facts being stated are responsible for the current state of the world.

-Why are there so few flourishing Islamic countries in the world today? Because at its heart, it is a philosophy of destruction.

-In 1984, Orwell believed the truth would be hidden from us. In A Brave New World, Huxley thought the truth would be drowned out in a sea of irrelevancies. Both men were correct, and we are living through both.

-Leftists think they are God with ultimate power and authority. That is why they love abortion, for it takes life on a whim as if they were a god.

-I want to be remembered as someone who loved God, loved his family and friends, and was kind to all. I have failed it this more times than I can count and in some pretty spectacular ways. But from here on out, that’s it; that is what I am striving towards.

-I have caused pain, and I have felt pain. Living with the former is worse than the feeling of the latter.

-The Pope recently sanctioned the blessing of same-sex couples. Rome’s complete apostasy is now clear for all to see. Catholicism is a political movement, not a religious one; the Pope a politician, and by no means a representative of Christ. Rome is a corruptor of the gospel, not a preserver of it.

-When a man does not fear God, anything is permissible. Absolutely anything.

-Abortion is the seed from which a culture of death blooms.

-Over one million dead Ukrainians in the war with Russia and their blood lies solely on the hands of the US warhawks, who care not one whit how many innocent civilians die for their profits.

-Modern day “fact-checking” is deployed to subvert and protect the narrative. Fact-checking only became necessary when the truth needed to be hidden.

-We are bombarded with ugliness. From gross architecture to disgusting art. From men with lipstick, pretending to be women, to the fat acceptance movement masquerading as beautiful. The great inversion is all around us upending the good, and the beautiful, and the true; those things that swell the human heart in appreciation of this life.

-The wiser the man, the less alcohol he drinks; for it is the elixir of the impotent and the weak, the drink that enslaves body and mind.

-Some of the world’s most evil men and vile women just “followed their hearts”. There is no more idiotic modern saying than that. It belies a complete misunderstanding of human nature and the utter corruption of the human heart. Yet so many fall for empty jingoism and meaningless aphorisms that inevitably cause harm. It’s one of hell’s most effective slogans.

-We suffer from a selectivity of outrage. People are upset over Israel’s treatment of Palestinians. But no one cares about China’s treatment of the Uyghur muslims or Saudi Arabia’s extermination of muslims in Yemen. Some genocides matter, others don’t.

-It’s easy to rationalize and accept the mediocre.

-Manners are a forgotten courtesy in a selfish age. Common civilities seem lost to time. The disappearance of the “courtesy wave” is a sign of a selfish, declining civilization.

-Covid taught us that intelligence is not fallible. Doctors are generally some of the smartest amongst us. But look how many were completely wrong about Covid and continue to be. I can only assume they are literate and can read. Even the intelligent can fall for observably false propaganda.

-Very few have realized how thoroughly evil the leaders of Canada are. The country has fallen and hardly anyone can see it.

-From ancient civilizations to our very own, we have allowed the sacrifice and murder of children. The ancients did so because they thought they would get power and happiness in return. Today, we do it for freedom and convenience. Every society has believed that in some way, if they killed their children, their lives would be better. This is another example of the great inversion caused by unchecked evil.

-Do the people who ask, “why would God allow this negative thing to happen?” also praise and thank Him when good things happen to them? Most likely not. Man wants to blame God for the evil in the world most often caused by man. God has become an easy scapegoat for the person who does not want to believe.

-Like most things, the world has destroyed the beauty of Christmas.

-2024 motto: Be Thou My Vision.

-The sounds of a bird chirping in the morning is annoying to the hung over person, and beautiful to the sober. Alcohol turns everything beautiful and natural, ugly and unwanted.

-Atheists should not hold power; they are the first to turn to genocide because they believe they are God. That is the testimony of history.

-Politicians are the enemies of the people.

-We live in an age where words are used to manipulate, not communicate.

-You cannot have both diversity and a meritocracy. If you choose diversity as your goal, you are implicitly admitting you do not want the best, by definition.

-Cromwell’s aphorism “Pray much and keep your gunpowder dry,” might read today, ‘Keep the Bible in one hand and a gun in the other.’ Interesting times are upon us.

-A critical person and a sensitive person do not work well together. The critical person always makes a sensitive person feel as if their feelings are a delusion rather than evaluating their own harsh spirit.

-In Genesis, God created the individual nations. In Revelation, Satan himself moves the world towards a one-world government. God created the nations, globalism is satanic. The current immigrant crisis is the toppling of western nations and the demons in charge love watching the destruction in order that they can achieve their global model of governing.

-We are not fighting against anti-democratic forces in the world, but against those that want to invert good and evil.

-The absolute dumbest members of society are those who believe that “climate change” is an “existential threat” to humanity. This is a sure sign they are scientifically illiterate, and the easiest to manipulate.

-Some of the most irrational people I’ve met will call themselves rationalists. The mind is a justifier of almost anything, no matter how absurd.

-Most think that seeing is believing. That is a great inversion of what is true. Believing is seeing. You cannot see the truth unless you first believe it.

-I want my pastor to punch me in the face with the gospel. This hard head needs that, at a minimum.

-The more meritocratic a system is, the less racist it can be, by definition. The greatest enemy of racism is a system of merit.

-Do people still think that the blessings of God are upon America? Because, at least from afar, it looks a lot more like a place that has been profoundly cursed.

Random Thoughts #9

1)  It would appear that Yale Divinity School now employs mixed-race, Black, queer, community organizer, facilitator, witch, and “goddess” to teach the new divinity students. This is how you know how pervasive evil is in society today. It co-opts the good, the beautiful, and the true; and praises the evil and the dark. Jonathan Edwards wept.

2)  We are a culture of death that celebrates this darkness in so many forms: abortion, euthanasia, drug and alcohol abuse, to name but a few. There is a new “Euthanasia Coaster” concept that is going to help people who want to end their lives through the “elegance and euphoria” of a fairground ride, claims creator Julijonas Urbonas. Why is it that those who love abortion also love euthanasia? Because they see no value in life whatsoever and walk in darkness. A society that celebrates and promotes death is not one that will survive for long.

3)  The science fetishists aren’t going to like this one. We know for well over a decade now how corrupted the peer review process has been since “publish or perish” has become the call of the priestly class in lab coats. Less than 50% of alleged “peer reviewed” studies are repeatable. “Trust the science” has never been more laughable.

4)  The climate cult has some explaining to do, again. After being told how hurricanes are a product of man-made climate change and we were going to be inundated with storm after storm, it appears the hurricane action in the Atlantic, and globally, has hit a low not seen since 1965. I’m sure it’s just a temporary hiatus, before the deluge of hurricanes hit. It’s the longest stretch in more than half a century without a single late-summer cyclone. The catastrophe is always on the horizon, and needs to be, for the cult to maintain its power through fear. Or, maybe the fleecing of the populace in paying carbon taxes to our govt overlords has finally started to work? Who knew we could pay more in taxes and stop hurricanes? And if you thought these were all innocent people who just love the planet, these pagan cultists want to jail those who disagree with their religious earth worship.

5)  Well besides great restaurants with amazing food, we can now add animal sacrifices to the short list of wonderful things diversity brings to a country. No wonder there were ancient warnings about letting the pagans inside the gates of the city.

6) This is a great site that demonstrates the mathematical impossibility of Darwinian Evolution. It’s time the science fetishists admit their pet theory is demonstrably false. “Galileo demonstrated in the 16th century that theories incompatible with the mathematical language of the universe will fail the test of time. It’s worth checking the mathematics before our time in this universe is up.”

7) If you still want to drink alcohol after watching this video, you’re either an idiot or an addict.

8) The Presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris is tonight. He will embarrass her as she is the least qualified and objectively stupid candidate that’s ever run. In November, Donald Trump will win in a landslide.

Alcohol And The Ignorance Of A Drug-Addled Age

If I were to subtitle this article it would be: If You Still Drink Regularly With All We Now Know, You’re An Idiot Or An Addict.

My opinions on alcohol don’t win me many friends as almost to a drinker, they get angry and defensive when the topic arises, as if they are defending the honour of a cherished lover from insult. My disdain for the stupidity of those who defend it as “fun and harmless” has grown immensely over the past couple of years as I watch people destroy and enslave themselves to a substance. The facts, data, and science behind the consequences and effects of their drug use is now clearer than ever. And yes, alcohol is a highly addictive drug, and drinkers are drug users, albeit, “socially acceptable” drug users, or so they think. To drink regularly in the face of what we now know can only be classified as total ignorance or addiction, that deep down many realize, but have difficulty admitting to.

I’ve written extensively on alcohol before, here; and many other posts here reference my contempt and scorn for alcohol and the people who knowingly use it and abuse it, in 100% of the cases, to their own detriment. I can say in all humility that I have been way ahead of the curve on this topic for decades and have read more research than 99.9% of the population. The average person succumbs because they are brainwashed by “big money alcohol company” advertising and their own weakness giving in to peer pressure. As the science continues to develop, much of what I’ve written has been shown to be correct as it filters down to the mainstream, drinking population. But the insidious nature of this drug is such that no science, no data, or no rational argument will ever convince a person who is emotionally and physically attached to their booze.

Have you ever talked to a friend about their drinking habits, only to watch them get defensive? And that ends up being their reaction every single time? It’s an implicit admission that deep down they know they have a problem. I once had a friend with a drinking problem; a drinking problem that they could not see. It was not alcoholism, but like almost every regular drinker, it was an alcohol use disorder and it was obvious. They couldn’t go out and have just one or two; they always over drank.

Many started drinking in their teen years and the chemical alterations that this caused in their brains have caused them problems to this day. Their brain is now programmed by the drug to crave more. They get excited about the drinking they’ll do at the party this weekend. They make a special trip to buy the booze they want the most. They think of what drinks they’ll order that night at the bar when they go out with friends. They plan to get drunk on certain nights, days in advance. It consumes them, and their thoughts. All these things will seem perfectly normal because their brain has normalized it after years of substance use and abuse.

The overwhelming majority of drinkers go out and enjoy 1 or 2 drinks with their friends and leave it there. About 15-20% cannot handle their alcohol and their nights often end in a sad, drunken stupor. They may even say “I’m just going to have a couple drinks” but then as the drug hits them they suddenly want more and more and their ability to control themselves is lost. This is the sad reality for many, many who don’t yet fit the clinical definition of alcoholic.

Alcohol is the elixir of the weak, the social crutch for the insecure, the drug that many want and need. It is a scourge on society and a lie that many fall for. They go out with friends and think their “drinking buddies” care about their well-being as they walk together down the road of addiction, all the while hating the ones who truly care and are not afraid to confront them over their destructive life choices. A true friend doesn’t order you another drink; they are the ones who tell you you have a problem.

People are naïve, and generally obtuse and self-destructive in considering what alcohol does to them. More and more research has come out over the past 10-15 years and the data is now overwhelmingly clear how bad drinking is for us as individuals, and as a society. Let’s first define the various levels of alcohol consumption according to the NIÃAA (National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism). There are so many problem drinkers out there who think they have it under control.

Safe drinking – 0 drinks for men, 0 drinks for women. There is now no safe level of alcohol consumption. Every drink comes with deleterious effects. (No one should ever exceed 2 drinks in one sitting, and 2 drinks total in a week should be the upper limit).

Moderate drinking – 2 drinks in a day for men, or a total of 7 per week. 1 drink per day for women, or a total of 4 per week. This level of drinking comes with various levels of harm.

Heavy drinking – 5 or more drinks in a day for men (once in a month), or 15 or more per week. 4 or more drinks in a day for women (once in a month), or 8 or more drinks per week. These limits are also the limits that define “binge drinking” and “alcohol misuse,” according to the NIAAA.

You will never convince a problem drinker that they drink too much. The number one sign of addiction is the inability of the user to see they have a problem at all; they’ve always got it “under control.”

As Dr. Andrew Huberman, who runs the neurolab at Stanford says:

 

Top 7 Reasons Why You Should Stop Drinking If You Actually Care About Your Life

1) Alcohol Is Highly Addictive: Alcohol is the second most addictive drug after heroin and other opioids. This addiction can take many forms, from degenerative alcoholism to functional alcoholism; from a needed short term stress reliever to a drug necessary to enjoy social situations. Many suffer from alcohol use and misuse disorders that they think are normal, but are far from it. Addiction is weakness, not a disease, and the reliance on a substance always points to deeper problems. Another way to understand the potency and addictive nature of this drug is to be reminded that there are only two drugs whose withdrawal effects can kill you: alcohol and benzodiazepines. Perhaps one of the saddest developments over the past 20 years or so is the incidence of alcoholism and addiction that has exploded among women. Women are abusing alcohol at record rates and it’s no wonder they are suffering a mental health crisis that coincides with their increase in consumption. Young women are the most broken demographic group and alcohol is exacerbating these problems. They are lost and their lives lack purpose and meaning, so they turn to a “socially acceptable” drug to find acceptance.

2) Alcohol Is A Major Cause Of Death & Disease: According to the prestigious medical journal, The Lancet, alcohol is the seventh leading cause of death and disease globally. “When you omit deaths from tuberculosis, car accidents, and suicide, alcohol moves further up the list even though it plays a major part in the latter two.” The shocking conclusion of the study stated this:

The level of alcohol consumption that minimized harm across health outcomes was zero (95% UI 0-0-0-8) standard drinks per week. Alcohol use is a leading risk factor for global disease burden and causes substantial health loss. We found that the risk of all-cause mortality, and of cancers specifically, rises with increasing levels of consumption, and the level of consumption that minimizes health loss is zero.

I’ve covered the diseases that alcohol is linked to in the past, but this list serves as a good reminder of the ruination it causes. Another recent study confirmed that alcohol was the third leading cause of preventable death behind smoking and obesity. It is directly linked to cancer and many other diseases. And we know that 1 in 5 deaths of adults, that’s 20%, from age 20 to 49, is from excessive drinking. Alcohol will kill you early; this is now indisputable. “Alcohol has been a level-one carcinogen for as long as we’ve been listing carcinogens…It’s on par with things like smoking, UV light, hepatitis B and human papillomavirus or HPV.”

The Lancet reported that even 1 drink per day is associated with an increase in all cause mortality as moderate drinkers (1-2 per day) were diagnosed with 1 out of 7 cancers in 2020. In Canada, alcohol was linked to 7,000 new cancer cases in 2020 alone.

The 3 leading causes of preventable death are smoking, obesity, and alcohol consumption. But by certain metrics I would argue that drinking alcohol is probably the worst thing you can do for yourself in that the effect it has on mental health is far worse than the first two. I had someone once remark to me, that “I feel fine mentally after drinking so it doesn’t really effect me.” This person no longer knows what their optimal mental health even feels like anymore because the unending level of depressant that is in their system from drinking. Anything a regular drinker tells you about their consumption habits is most likely incorrect, for they try to hide it from watchful eyes as the spiral downwards begins.

 

3) Alcohol Weakens the Immune System, Gut Biome, and Skin: Alcohol is a diuretic and dehydrates your body, including the skin – and this happens every time you drink. When you drink, the dehydrating effect of alcohol means your skin loses fluid and nutrients that are vital for healthy-looking skin. This can make your skin look wrinkled, dull and grey, or bloated and puffy. It dries out and prematurely ages your skin. If you drink, your skin will never be as healthy looking as it should.

The gut is sometimes called the body’s “second brain” as it is responsible for so much of its proper functioning. Alcohol damages the stomach lining and gut; killing the good bacteria in our stomachs. Alcohol begins to break down the lining of the stomach and the gut which allows the ethanol (toxin) to enter the body and cause further damage and disease. If you have nagging stomach issues, alcohol is likely the culprit.

Our immune system is responsible for fighting off viruses, bacteria, and disease. Alcohol weakens our immune systems and opens the drinker up to many adverse health conditions. Alcohol consumption does not have to be chronic to have negative health consequences. In fact, research shows that acute binge drinking more negatively affects the immune system than perviously thought. 

I recall a conversation I had with another friend. They had just returned from an overseas trip and were in the middle of a course of antibiotics to help with an illness that they had caught. They went away to a nice country for a week, saw the sites and enjoyed themselves. But every night they went out to a bar and drank excessively till two or three in the morning. It was both sad and hilarious to hear them defend their abuse of alcohol and not think it had any effect on their health.

4) Alcohol Is Destructive Of Mental Health: Alcohol is a depressant and causes mental health issues for many drinkers. Just 25 minutes after a drink, a person reaches peak euphoria, after which the depressant feelings start to impact the user which begins the “night out’s” cycle of drink after drink to retain the original level of euphoria and ward off the onsetting depressive feelings of the come down. The depressive effects last for almost 7 full days afterward before it leaves the system; hardly a rational trade off, but no one who drinks excessively can be said to be rational.

Alcohol is a self-soothing mechanism (anxiety, fear, self-loathing, etc) and the drinker is unaware that it actually magnifies these feelings in the long term, and generally makes them worse. Many drink to help with these issues, when in fact, alcohol makes them worse.

5) Alcohol Is A Thief of Joy: This to my mind is one of the more shocking effects alcohol has on the brain. It chemically alters the brain and desensitizes our dopamine receptors  and adrenal glands to real stimuli and pleasures. The alcohol-altered brain can never truly feel or never truly experience the fullness of natural pleasures and joys in life, when they are NOT drinking, for their perceptions have been altered and dulled. They cannot experience the fullness of joyful events when they are NOT drinking because of how their drinking has changed their brain chemistry.

Again, Dr. Huberman sums it up this way:

 

It chemically alters the brain and desensitizes our dopamine receptors to real stimuli and pleasures. Think of it this way: you go out on a Friday night to party and get drunk. Your Saturday is spent dealing with your hangover. On Sunday you decide to go for a hike in the mountains. The scenery is beautiful, the experience is nice, but you are unable to experience the hike as you should because you have impaired your brain’s ability to experience the fullness of that joy when you’re NOT drinking. What a tragedy. To put this another way, you are unable to experience positive emotions to their fullest because of your alcohol consumption:

 

6) Alcohol Promotes Social Weakness: Alcohol creates weakness in those that use it as a social lubricant to feel more confident. It provides the illusion of confidence and makes the person reliant on the drug to feel comfort in interacting with others, rather than motivating them to become naturally better in these social circumstances and working on becoming a more socially adept person in reality. It can only provide a drug-induced, fake confidence; never the real thing. It will ensure you stay socially weak if you rely on it.

 

7) Alcohol Ruins Sleep: Alcohol affects your brain in such a way that both your sleep quality and sleep quantity suffer. It causes you to wake up in the night far more frequently even if you’re not concious of it, and you do not get the required amount of REM and Deep sleep your brain needs to repair your body and brain during the night as is the norm. People confuse the sedative nature of alcohol with quality of sleep; the sedation it causes is not healthy for brain and body reparations that are needed. Here is a short clip of Dr. Huberman talking to sleep expert Matt Walker on what alcohol does to our sleep:

 

The alcohol industry, like most, is very corrupt. Companies like Heineken and Carlsberg paid off government officials at the NIH to promote the benefits of moderate drinking when they knew there weren’t any. The study said that moderate alcohol use reduced the risk of cardio vascular disease, when we now know the exact opposite is true. A recent peer-reviewed study showed that alcohol consumption causes life-long arterial stiffening which is a cause and precursor of cardio vascular disease and stroke. Drinkers have been brainwashed and have believed a lie for decades, and bars are filled with those naive to the damage they are doing as booze producers fool people into believing their product is essential for a good time, while it kills them slowly.

Not everything is negative, however, as there are some encouraging signs on the horizon in all the data. 38% of Americans say they do not drink at all, the highest number of abstainers in a generation. While we may lament the dark path of weekly reckless drunkenness some of our friends have chosen, there are good indications that the younger generation is yearning for a better life and leaving their poor choices behind. A recent study revealed that Gen-Z are leaving alcohol in big numbers with 65% (two thirds!) reporting not having a drink in the previous 6 months and 35% that do not drink at all. The share of adults ages 18 to 34 who say they ever drink dropped from 72% in 2001-03 to 62% in 2021-23. Only about 25% of Gen-Z are regular drinkers, with 15% of those being classified as heavy drinkers. Young people, especially Gen Z, are leading this sober trend. They care more about feeling good, being healthy and productive rather than drinking alcohol. They worry about how alcohol affects their bodies and more than any other generation are concerned about the long-term consequences of poor choices when it comes to their mental and physical well-being.

 

In Canada, about 15.6% of the population over 12 years old engaged in heavy drinking in at least one month in the past year (5 drinks for men, 4 for women). That is quite low, thankfully, and those who think regular drunken nights in a bar is a worthwhile pursuit is a small minority of the population. The overwhelming number of Canadians are only occasional or moderate drinkers as many understand the dangers and risks. The number of heavy drinkers, those who abuse or misuse alcohol, has declined steadily since first measured in 2015. It’s hard to imagine why anyone would still knowingly put themselves in this category. It’s evidence to the overwhelming power of this drug on some people still, and is viewed as a type of self-harm, akin to cutting or eating disorders.

In 2024, more people are choosing not to drink alcohol, and sobriety is becoming a big thing. Gen-Z is becoming known as the “sober curious” generation. The trend has shifted dramatically and it is now only a minority of people who are reliant on the drug aspect of alcohol in order for them to cope with life or enjoy things that non-drinkers are able to without the social crutch. Gen-Z is moving towards more sober gatherings and leaving alcohol because of the mental and physical toll it takes and they are becoming more aware of its negative impact on their well-being. We should be encouraged by this, but there is a long way to go.

To truly understand who you are as a person you need to remove alcohol from your life, for it masks and hides who you are. Some people don’t like themselves and use alcohol to numb their feelings of despair and self-loathing. To know yourself, and to truly love yourself, removing the blinders and fog of alcohol is a must.

Watch who you befriend. Too many people surround themselves with losers whose only comfort in their free time is drinking. If 4 of your friends are drinkers, you will be the 5th. Show me your friends, and I can show you your future habits. Choose your circle of influence wisely if you want to live a good life free from the consequences of poor choices.

People need to leave their booze behind permanently. Embrace the goodness and beauty in life, and leave the drunkenness, the hangovers, the poor life choices, and the mental and physical damage behind. We are given one chance in this life to be present, to feel, to live; for good or for ill. No longer should we laugh at and praise those who need to cauterize their souls or medicate their brains to all that is good about life. Drinkers should be mocked and shamed for these are powerful tools for behavioural change in society. We were able to successfully shame a generation of smokers and a movement needs to begin to shame those who drink. While there may be some encouraging signs on the horizon, I am not very hopeful that meaningful change can happen as alcohol consumption has become a lifestyle for many; a drug they love and can’t live without. Drinking is not freedom; it is bondage. Sometimes the slave, loves their master. If we truly loved the people around us caught up in this abusive self-harm, we would do all that we could to warn them. That is the tough love we owe them.

 

We have one life and it should be our desire that we, and those around us, flourish to the greatest extent possible. Living an aimless and meaningless life drunk in a bar every weekend will only help to exacerbate ones sense of loss of purpose as they wander aimlessly through life. You do not have to “give up” alcohol, for it is not a loss. Rather, you are gaining health, mental well-being, sharpness of mind, greater energy levels, being present and sharp in social situations, time, money, and a host of other benefits! You are not sacrificing anything in the end, but gaining so so much that will lead to a better life.

If you’ve made it this far and think nothing of your current drinking habits then only two conclusions can be reached: 1) you don’t care about your life or health, or 2) you have a drinking problem you refuse to address.

Listen to Harvard doctor and researcher Dr. Sarah Wakeman: “Every single drink you have increases your cancer risks.” There is no safe limit.

There’s an old Irish saying that goes “A man takes a drink, the drink takes a drink, the drink takes the man.” Too many have let the drink take them. They never saw it coming. Don’t let it take you too. 

A better life awaits…

There comes a time when the obvious can no longer be defended or denied. The psychological operation was effective beyond their wildest dreams and the cover-up continues today. 

The oft quoted George Orwell, in 1984, could not be more prescient for the times in which we live: “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

Notes From The Field – Book 3:2

-Whatever narrative comes out through mainstream media sources should not be believed; none of it. It may be hard to discern what the real truth is, but rest assured, the truth is anything other than what they are reporting.

-Veganism is mental illness.

-All men really want is someone that is nice to them and respects who they are.

-Any company that embraces DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) is making a public proclamation that they are not a serious company. They are telling the world that they are more interested in a person’s immutable characteristics than they are success. It necessarily entails employing less qualified people and ensuring under performance.

-There is something wrong if you find no joy in being alone.

-We can’t use plastic straws because one turtle died. Yet we can kill our babies, helpless inside their mothers, and celebrate it as freedom. Leftist ideology is bathed entirely in evil.

-We are witness to the controlled demolition of the West.

-The LGBTP community has a paedophile problem, and the lack of will to purge their ranks from this evil should speak volumes as to the real purpose behind the pride movement: the sexual grooming of children.

-“I don’t judge people” is one of the dumbest things a person can say. Everyone judges everything. They just have different standards by which they judge. Ironically, the ones who claim to be non-judgmental are usually the ones who judge the most.

-“Long-Covid” is pure fiction. It is the safe name they’ve given to vaccine injury to hide their malfeasance.

-Social media has become an addictive drug that keeps people from pursuing a good and enjoyable life, much like every other drug.

-To the people who live in a bubble and do not try to learn, everything is a “conspiracy theory.”

-Getting tattooed in your 20’s is telling the world that you are impulsive; easily swayed by trends; unable to stand against public pressure; a short term thinker; show little concern for your future; and have a higher propensity to use and abuse substances. Tattoos definitely tell a story, just not the one you think.

-Alcohol is a cause of physical sickness, mental sickness, emotional imbalance, and spiritual emptiness. It weakens people on every level, yet they will live with their alcohol delusion because they are weak and dependant.

-That alcohol is seen as socially normally is a big con. People are easily brainwashed.

-Tolerance is not a virtue. It is a sign of immaturity, thoughtlessness, and weakness. The man who tolerates evil will eventually be overcome by it, for he allowed it to flourish.

-Joy needs to be an intentional habit, for bitterness and resentment occur naturally by default.

-The only truth relevant to me: I am forgiven.

-We live in times of the great inversion: good is evil, evil is good; true is false, false is true; beautiful is ugly, ugly is beautiful.

-David is a character and man who gives hope to those of us who failed: he remained a man after God’s own heart.

-If the history of art has taught us anything, it’s that art that seeks to express the divine is magnitudes more beautiful than that which is centred on the place of man in the world.

-The decriminalization of all sorts of recreational drugs in Western nations is a sure sign of a nations hatred for its people. When they denigrate and strip purpose and meaning from peoples lives, they legalize the means for them to cauterize their despair with a substance and destroy themselves.

-Sometimes the most compassionate thing we can do is shame the lies and nonsense that others believe. We should never let falsehoods flourish because we are cowards.

-There are no new heresies; just old ones repackaged. Climate change is just a type of environmental paganism where the earth is worshiped, not the Creator.

-The 1960’s sought to remove the moral restrictions on sexuality. The 2020’s seeks to now glorify and normalize the sexually perverse and mock the virtuous.

-It’s important to remember, there are evil men in this world; men who want to control and bring harm to others. They enjoy, and want to increase, the suffering of others. The most sinister of these will always make it look like what they really want for humanity is beneficial.

-Even the best things end.

-Chasing after happiness is a fool’s errand. It can never be caught; at least not for long. We should pursue contentment, for we then will possess it no matter our station.

-The trans movement has shown feminism and the feminists to be colossal failures. They have failed to protect women against the onslaught of men in drag from invading their spaces and usurping their rights.

-It’s a special kind of stupid that believes every event is due to climate change. Catastrophic events have happened since the beginning of time. The primitives blamed the gods. We blame humanity. It’s everyone else, not me.

-The tattoo is really the perfect symbol of this generation; an outward emblem to put on display for others with empty and frivolous meanings. The inward virtues of loyalty, truth, honesty, compassion, and justice; all don’t have the same permanence in peoples hearts as does ink on the skin.

-Life is sorrow, interspersed with little moments of joy.

-Somewhere a childless 35-year-old woman is hung over at brunch telling her friends how fulfilling her life is after spending the night drunk at a party dancing. Her lonely 30’s are just the extension of her wasted 20’s. If you pursue a meaningless life you will most definitely find it.

-We live on such a beautiful planet, yet the world can be so ugly.

-The alcohol experiment is over. Back to zero for me. I am not weak. I do not need a drug. I value a strong mind and present life.

-Man’s greatest endeavour can only be the pursuit of God. All of life flows from that.

-Emptiness and lack of meaning are the biggest factors in drug and alcohol use. People need to numb themselves against the outcome of their poor life choices.

-The financialization economy over the last 40 years has done more to increase the wealth gap, create income disparity, and divorce man from meaningful work. It has allowed the syphoning of wealth from the many to the few and will ultimately lead to a financial collapse as the disparity grows.

-We have allowed the mentally ill to ascend to seats of power because the cowards amongst us were too afraid to call these deviants what they are: mentally ill.

-People use alcohol to quench their mental and emotional thirst, only to make themselves thirstier.

-When Hamas beheads babies, it’s called terrorism. When Americans murder babies, it’s called “healthcare” and “abortion rights.”

-Feminists don’t hate men. They hate other women who embody the ideals that men desire.

-I think the main reason why we have so many insane ideas permeating our society right now is because we allow them to gain traction without adequately ridiculing and mocking them as they deserve.

-The old lies don’t work anymore and are being exposed. Freedom is a lie. Democracy is a lie. Free speech is a lie. Equality is a lie. Human rights are a lie. Almost every ideology is a lie. All these lies help create hell on earth.

-The proof that Islam is an evil, false religion is in the fact that it adherents have no respect for human life. It is merely a political movement, not a religion.

-Evil is coming for all of us. Nobody is immune, and nobody will come out unscathed in the fight against the powers and principalities. The weak ones will bend the knee and lie in order to survive. The strong ones who adhere to the truth and trust God will surely live. God grant me strength.

Elegy For A Country In Decay

Every morning I wake up in a country I no longer recognize.
I walk the streets of my city and notice only decline and decay.

I knew every family on the street I grew up on.
Now neighbours are strangers and do not talk to one another.

People don’t speak the same languages.
No one makes eye contact or smiles at one another.

I step onto an elevator and I only see foreign faces.
People want to call me a bigot for noticing.

We no longer look the same or live the same.
With diversity comes distrust, and it is everywhere.

I never thought about personal safety as it was just a given.
Now stabbings and shootings are in the news every day.

I’m told Christmas and Easter make people feel uncomfortable.
But l have to applaud Diwali and Ramadan celebrations.

I’m told all cultures are equal and worthy of respect.
Except the one l grew up in which is now racist and oppressive.

People complain about the lack of community.
But community requires commonalities, and we no longer have any.

I remember when doctors cared, and health care was functional.
Now my leaders ask how and when I’d like to die.

The government takes the majority of my earnings.
They tell me they know what’s best for me.

I only wanted freedom to live how I chose.
But the people around me clamoured for mandated “safety” instead.

The death took decades to happen, slowly then quickly.
A nation cannot survive when it decays from within.

I no longer want to walk the streets any more.
I no longer recognize the place l live.

Some civilizations are conquered,
While others commit suicide.

Canada has suffered a long painful death.
Most don’t even realize She’s gone.

One day I’ll tell my grandchildren what Canada was like.
They won’t believe me. Very few left will remember.

Where Eagles Dare

On June 15th at Clallam Bay, WA, I had an other-worldly social interaction with a convocation of bald eagles for almost an hour. What follows are but a few of the moments I captured of one of the most majestic creatures to grace the sky.

Notes From The Field – Book 3:1

For some time now I’ve carried Field Notes notebooks with me to write down and record various thoughts when I have them. It is something I wanted to become habit-forming and enjoyable over time. I like to write and sometimes jotting down a quick note is enough. I think that in the computer age many people’s hand-writing has suffered, mine included. I’ve always thought there was something more beneficial to writing things down.

I am not claiming there is anything wonderful, or original, or ground-breaking, in any of these thoughts and musings. On the contrary, sometimes they are the product of those boring moments when the mind wanders. There is no organization to them although the themes at times seem common. I will record them here in the way they were first written, only correcting any grammatical and punctuation errors.

Each completed book of notes is too much for one blog post, so most notebooks, once filled, will be broken up into two or three parts and posted over time.

-I try and be a hard critic of myself first. That being said, it in no way invalidates the cultural criticisms and truth claims I make towards the issues I discuss. Objective truth exists independent of the person asserting it.

-People today try and undo centuries of progress out of envy and bitterness.

-If you think paying a carbon tax to your government is a good way to change the weather, then you are exactly the type of gullible citizen they love to manipulate and extort.

-Concerts and live music can really bring joy and be uplifting. Music is food for the soul.

-I no longer can believe in the principle of free speech because no one truly does. Speech laws just becomes a different set of revolving “blasphemy laws” enforced by whoever is in power. If God believed in free speech, why was blasphemy a sin?

-Many people choose, and are responsible for, their own misery through the choices they make. It usually comes cloaked as “fun and enjoyable” and leaves them in despair.

-The Left is a death cult. Everything they advocate for is to lessen human flourishing.

-Freedom is becoming unafraid and fearless of the consequences in an age of weakness and gullibility.

-Tolerance is the virtue of the weak. It’s really no virtue at all, and is usually the means by which evil is embraced and celebrated.

-Poor life choices often lead to loneliness and despair.

-We as a society have allowed the court jesters to ascend to the throne. Our politicians really are the least qualified people to lead us.

-The first song I heard today was Beautiful Day by U2. It’s impossible not to smile while listening to that song. As gloomy and down as my spirits can be at times, music can lift me up when I need it.

-Tattoos are an outward sign of narcissism. They scream “look at me.”

-The world is not horrible because of some fictitious, white male patriarchy, or some absurd notion of Christian or religious oppression. These nonsensical ideas are observably false. The world is horrible because people have embraced leftist ideologies that are destroying the hearts and minds of decent people. Evil often creeps in unaware.

-Look at the art a culture produces and you will see what it values.

-The global pandemic response, and those who fell for it, serves as a great filter to determine who will make it; which humans are strong enough to resist the evil before them.

-The West is in the decadence, degeneracy, deviancy, and decline stage of Empire. The open embrace of evil always leads to collapse.

-There are few things more pure than the love of a dog for his or her master.

-There are few things more fundamentally important to society than the distinction between male and female; men and women. The trans movement is dyscivilizational and an evil that needs to be opposed at every opportunity.

-People want to be entertained, not educated. Global IQ is dropping at a time when more information than ever is available to us. They mindlessly scroll and take in this information without really thinking deeply about what they are being shown or manipulated to believe.

-The Pride movement has been the most successful psyop in history. They’ve gotten the majority of the world to fall in line and believe that which is observationally false with the ultimate goal of sexualizing children. That is what the rainbow flag is now a symbol of: the sexual objectification and grooming of children; the very real symbol of evil.

-I write, and say out loud, what many others think, but are afraid to say. It’s not done to offend, but to give a voice to truth. I do not care what others think of me and the views I hold.

-Tolerance is a pretend virtue. It’s about signalling the goodness of the tolerant with no real heartfelt concern for the object of tolerance they purport to care about.

-If Covid taught us anything, it’s that doctors can now be equated to lawyers when it comes to trustworthiness. Are there good ones? Sure. But most fell in line and advocated for vaccines that had no credible testing or studies behind them and that we now know are causing higher mortality and lower fertility in those who received them. They can no longer be trusted if they merely act on what they’re told. It’s against the very oath they took.

-All alcohol does is reveal how weak the person is who relies on it.

-I long for the day when the battle is over. I do not fear death. I welcome it. All to be in His presence.

-Those that deny the concept of sin need only take a few moments of quiet reflection on their own hearts to understand the reality of it and how deep it runs. Evaluating yourself can be painful.

-I’ve spent many years reading the prominent atheists: Dawkins, Dennett, Harris, and Hitchens to name a few. They are remedial thinkers, and only impressive to those with average intelligence. If someone speaks of them favorably, you can almost immediately determine everything they believe.

-“So will I choose their delusions.” Isaiah 66:4.  It’s hard to think of words any more self-evident in the days in which we live. Delusions abound.

-The men worthy of admiration are those who have given up much and sacrificed comfort. The modern world idolizes the worst people society has to offer.

-Fear God, do not fear men. That is the true basis of freedom.

-Men will believe anything, no matter how ridiculous or absurd, in order to reject the truth, and justify their own depravity.

-If there is nothing you’d die for, you live a life without passion and meaning. What a pathetic way to live.

-One of life’s great pleasures is sitting down and listening to the sound of music on vinyl.

-It is hard to forgive those that wish you harm or hate you. But I have found this most freeing. Forgiveness is a beautiful thing.

-If Darwinian evolution is true, then homosexuality is a choice, not a genetic disposition. Because of its non-procreative nature, the gene would have been selected out of existence almost from its initial appearance.

-I need to be more gracious.

Words Into The Ether

I am under no delusions that anything written here is interesting or revolutionary. I just enjoy putting pen to paper, typing words onto a screen, and always have. It’s good to look at the world and sort out ideas in your head. It helps keep you from deception and closer to reality. Reading, thinking, writing: it is the necessary exercise for the mind.

A Society…

A society controlled by government, will never know freedom.
A society ruled over by politicians, will never know prosperity.
A society administered by lawyers, will never know honesty.
A society beholden to bankers, will always be in debt.
A society that overfunds its military, will never know peace.
A society reliant on pharmaceuticals, will never be healthy.
A society permissive of drugs, will be weighed down by addiction.
A society flowing with alcohol, will be awash in depression and despair.
A society addicted to technology, will be engulfed in misery and envy.
A society dependent on the media, will never know reality.
A society infatuated by celebrity, will be shallow and stupid.
A society that lauds the vulgar, will never know virtue.
A society that normalizes deviancy, will then celebrate the perverse.
A society that exterminates the unborn, will grow in contempt for all life.
A society that reveres science, will be easily manipulated by falsehoods.
A society consumed by the present, will be ill-prepared for tomorrow.
A society that cares not for its people, will never flourish.
A society that worships the creation, will never worship the Creator.
A society that does not look heavenward, will be overcome by evil on earth.
A society that cannot stand against evil, will surely be conquered by it.
A society divorced from the bible, will never know what is true.
And a society devoid of truth, will only ever know chaos, confusion, and decay.

Ugly Beauty – The Elephant Seal

From a young age my favourite animal was always the polar bear. I’m not sure why, but I always thought it was cool, and Canadian. But this powerful apex predator has fallen to number two on my list and replaced by the fat, ugly, and sometimes smelly, Elephant Seal. For the last few years I have photographed the elephant seal on the beaches of Pt. Reyes, California, and watched them for hours during their two months of birthing and mating on the same beaches, year after year. As I’ve learned about them, I’ve become enamoured with this animal that can only be considered a display of God’s sense of humour.

These animals are as interesting as they are unusual. The Elephant Seal mating season begins in January and the males make their way down from Alaska to a series of the same coastal California beaches they journey to every year. The females make an equally impressive journey from the warmer waters of Hawaii where they’ve spent the last nine months. They will return to these same beaches to give birth to the pups that have been gestating since last year’s fruitful mating season.

You can see the moms and their suckling pups all over certain beaches, with the blood stained sand bearing witness to the violence of birth in nature. The pups feed for two months before they are on their way into the ocean and do their best to dodge the enormous, larger males getting ready to impregnate the worn down females for yet another year.

The males are relatively solitary and bear no responsibility in the caring of their offspring. They are only interested in displays of dominance, which in turn will give them control over the largest harems of the population.

An alpha male can impregnate up to 500 females in a season and many of the larger ones have harems of up to 200 females. Smaller males scurry about the perimeter of the beaches in the hopes they can find just one lone, willing female to mate with. It is a hierarchical display of nature’s survival of the fittest. The strongest and most fit will breed the most in order to strengthen the species.

As March nears, the males enter the ocean where they will remain for the next 9 months straight, as they make their way back to Alaska. Similarly, the females leave and head towards Hawaii, carrying their newly fertilized egg which will grow into next years pup as they spend all the upcoming months in the water feeding and putting on lots of fat. The cycle continues and the Elephant Seal “circle of life” continues for another year.

Some put their faith in the magical powers of mindless mutations as the cause of these “miraculous” occurrences in nature. That sort of faith springs forth from the depths of self-delusion and the worship of nature as a god in and of itself. Modern day pantheism is indeed, alive and well. These curious creatures display the behaviours they were created to show, and to point towards the imaginative powers of a magnificent Creator. How do the salmon find their way back to their birthplace after years in the ocean? How do the monarchs migrate to the same areas of Canada and Mexico with no prior knowledge of their ancestors birthplace? And how do these giant seals travel thousands of miles only to return to the same beach year after year? The incomprehensibility of their innate behaviours points to something beyond ourselves, greater and more complex than anything we can imagine. They point to a Creator and Designer who certainly had fun with this one!

 

 

Notes From The Field – Book 2:2

-It is now plain to any rational observer, that the government and those in authority, prefer people to be physically weak and mentally ill. Society certainly has an abundance of both.

-“I drink just to have a good time with my friends,” they say. This is a tacit admission that they need a drug to enjoy themselves, even with friends. Sober moments are not enough for many.

-What am I doing with the time I’ve been given?

-Climate change is modern day pantheism. Old heresies are made new again. Conflating the material with the divine is nonsensical on its face.

-Cancel culture exists solely to try and ban people who have devoted themselves to objective reality. They can’t tolerate those who do not bow the knee to scientific absurdity.

-Homogenous nations arise out of the rubble of failed, heterogeneous empires. Immigration, if left unchecked, will most assuredly destroy a nation from within. Out of that destruction, a new nation (homogeneous people group) will emerge, and the cycle of history will repeat.

-Governments, especially local ones, have adopted a revenue model of governing. They are not concerned with improving the quality of life of people. In fact, the exact opposite seems to be the goal.

-Recent studies reveal that more and more people do not want to have children. Kids are work, but work that produces one of the greatest pleasures of life.

-Cities are soulless. Man was not meant to live in shoebox sized condos. Our souls are deadened by the concrete structures of man, rather than uplifted by the creations of a loving God, in nature.

-Every man needs a great watch, and a sharp knife; one for contemplation, and the other, for preparedness. And both for utility.

-The fundamental premise of freedom is one’s ability to defend themselves. In Canada, it is illegal to carry anything for the purpose of self-defense. Canada is not a free country, nor does it value the freedom of its citizens.

-Those who claim an adherence to “science” still must do so on the basis of faith. Every first principle is asserted and unprovable; it can only be falsified. Both religious and scientific claims have “faith” at their foundation.

-The observable existence of evil is not a proof that a good God does not exist. Rather, it proves the need for a robust Christianity, as the only means to defeat such evil.

-Europe and North America have yet to realize they are at war. The gates have been thrown open, and they have been invaded. The fighting has yet to begin. Homogeneous nations rise from the ashes of fallen heterogeneous empires. No nation has stood for long after such a vast movement of people groups from one nation to another. Prepare for the fall of the west.

-The notion of hate speech is a weapon to silence unapproved words and ideas. Those in charge are purveyors of hate, and are not really opposed to hateful rhetoric. They merely pronounce what kinds of hate are permissible, and what groups can be freely targeted.

-The “best” critics of the Bible are always those who have never read it.

-If everyone were to examine the darkness in their own hearts, the world would be a kinder place.

-‘Sound of Freedom’ is a spectacular film. Everyone needs to see it in order to understand the magnitude of the child sex-trafficking problem around the globe. It’s hard to comprehend this level of evil.

-How is it that evil flourishes in a world that boasts it is more enlightened than ever?

-America is but an ugly shadow of what it once was. As Christianity fades, evil ideologies rush in to fill the void and hollow out what’s left of the corpse of a fallen nation.

-Every aspect of society is degrading. In short order, we will lose all that we love and cherish, to the point where indoor plumbing may be considered a luxury for only the wealthy. A new ‘dark ages’ is dawning and few see it coming.

-The promotion and celebration of homosexuality has made it a lot harder for men to form meaningful relationships with other men.

-One of the main ills of our day is cowardice.

-Drag queens who want to be around children are pedophiles. Drag is overtly sexual. Don’t be fooled by them. Call them what they are. Shame them. They are pedos.

-Drag queens are demons in lipstick.

-People will treat you the same way they feel about you.

-Why do we worry about things beyond our control?

-People do not value life. They harm themselves with drugs and alcohol and proudly champion abortion. Life to many is worthless, and holds no meaning.

-The problem with much of the left is that they are certain about what they hate, but barely coherent about what they love. They do not create; they only destroy and tear down.

-If an atheist honestly searches for truth, he will invariably be led to God; the Truth. Atheism is never an honest quest for truth, but rather, a justification for one’s rejection of what is true.

-Gratitude is a lost virtue.

-Rise early, even if only to enjoy the quiet of the morning. This habit is restorative to the soul.

-The best way to destroy people is to get them to disbelieve things that are obviously true. Get them to believe lies, or fear telling the truth, and you’ve eviscerated their soul.

-Walking through life, you gather a collection of scars; wounds that heal, but leave a mark. For some of us, it feels as if we are limping towards heaven.

-The collective intelligence of Western nations is plummeting, and voting is now an IQ test. Our leaders become dumber and more corrupt as a reflection of the people they govern.

-Endurance in life and endurance in death; it is not ours to give up. Fight till your last breath.

-There is something profoundly ungrateful in giving up your life, suffering aside, before your ordained time.

-The modern mind would rather be entertained, than think.

-The American experiment is over. It could only function with a virtuous people, and that is no longer the case.

-There is no such thing as a trans person. No one is trapped in the wrong body. That people believe this is testimony to the power of brainwashing, and the ability of people to believe utter nonsense in the face of public coercion and pressure.

-The truth doesn’t mind being questioned, for it can withstand the scrutiny. It’s the lies and liars that must cower, hide, and censor any prodding or challenge to their dishonesty.

-A fully converged and captured organization (woke) is, by definition, incapable of performing its primary function.

-There are so many things I’d do differently; so many wrongs I’d right.

-The Pride flag is the flag of the LGBT “nation. They hang them on buildings like “colonizers” of the past to signify this place has been conquered (by the ideology). They think of themselves as a nation, set on “colonizing” the minds of the “natives” with their perverse morality.

-Liberals are more apt to abort their kids. Conservatives more apt to raise and teach their children. The future belongs to those who value it, and raise the next generation.

-The dying light of the sunset,
Is a beauty forever lost.
The departing soul of a loved one,
Is a beauty forever lost…
…until heaven.

-The current generation is awash in the vulgar. They consume it. They revel in it. They celebrate it. They have lost all admiration for the good, the beautiful, and the true. They are “as dogs returning to its own vomit; as fools glorifying their own folly.” As they think and act, so will they be: vulgar.

-300,000 to 400,000 Ukrainians killed in a war that didn’t need to happen; one started by the US and NATO as a proxy war against Russia. Pure evil.

-In other gay news, a Florida school board has allowed a kids book with two “penguin dads,” but banned Shakespeare’s, Romeo and Juliet, because of “sexual content.” They are allowed to read excerpts from the play, but some parts must be omitted. The whole world is fake and gay, and wants nothing more than to devour and pollute the minds of children.

-People have too many worthless friends and acquaintances in their lives. Drinking buddies, gossips, partiers, and the intellectually vacuous; to name just a few. These types of friends will always keep you from becoming a better person, as you walk the wide, lazy path of life alongside them.

-Homosexuals can’t have children. In order to “multiply” they need to target and sexualize the children of others. Grooming children is their procreative act.

-Most paedophiles hide in the shadow of the LGBT community and cloak themselves in the safety of the Pride flag. Henceforth I will only use the acronym LGBTP as a more accurate descriptor of this group until they purge themselves of the cancer in their body.

-Leftist’s want us to believe that people are born gay; that their sexual orientation is fixed at birth. Yet the same people also want us to believe that our sexual identity is fluid and can be different every day. Their world is incompatible with science, reason, and logic. It is contradictory nonsense.

-First it was mandatory toleration. Then it was mandatory acceptance. Now it’s mandatory celebration. How long before they demand mandatory participation?

-Women stop drinking when they’re pregnant so their babies don’t get foetal alcohol syndrome, which retards their brain development. So why would anyone continue to drink and damage their own brains? The drug of alcohol has such a strong pull on most drinkers that they just don’t care.

-The proliferation of alcohol in every aspect of peoples lives is a certain sign of their inability to enjoy themselves naturally, as well as an indication of how much they’ve created a dependency in their brain for substance-induced enjoyment.

-Is it any wonder that in a society that loves and promotes abortion, which is the dehumanization of the most vulnerable amongst us, that these same people do not care about the child sex-trafficking that goes on everywhere?

-A man can murder and cause such immense pain in the loved ones of the victim, that they can decide to have their lives taken by the state (MAID) because of their pain and depression. Yet, the murderer’s life is spared and often can go free. Is that not a sign of the insanity of modern society?

-What if I asked you to eat a particular food because you would find it delicious and it would make you feel happy for a couple hours? I’m sure you would try it. But then what if I told you that this food was a known carcinogen; that it causes heart disease, strokes, and liver disease; that it’s a depressant that will leave you feeling down and gloomy afterwards; that it is something that shrinks your brain and weakens your immune system and takes nearly 7 days to fully leave your system after eating it. Would you still eat it? No? Then why do you drink it?

-I read today that California Democrats blocked a bill to make child sex trafficking a felony. This is what happens when you remove boundaries around sex. This is the slippery slope of passing gay marriage legislation. The deviants come out and keep pushing the boundaries. The full sexualization of children and removal of age of consent laws is the ultimate goal and endgame. The paedophiles will keep pushing to normalize their evil proclivities.

-It was the so-called conservatives who sold out the American middle class, and sent almost all their manufacturing to Mexico and China in the name of capitalism and profits. It was the conservatives who gutted American prosperity and turned them into a consumer and service economy. America is a hollowed out corpse compared to what she once was. Conservatism cannot revive her. Only a strong nationalism can.

-Capitalism cannot work across borders with different laws and economic systems. This is the failure of globalism.

-Once Western nations become unmoored from their historic Christian roots, all manner of evils can flourish. It’s as if Lady Liberty has grown horns.

-For all those still looking at the numbers and following the excess mortality stats, it is now clear that the Covid vaccine was a bio weapon designed to kill hundreds of thousands of people, and make those behind it, rich. The next one will be even deadlier as this test run showed them how gullible and pliable the population is.

-The same people who forced vaccines on us because they cared about our ‘health and well-being,’ are the same ones who do nothing to stop the flow of fentanyl over the borders. They cared not one whit. Never believe them. They are evil.

Revolution Is Necessary

This past week Tucker Carlson delivered a couple of speeches in Alberta, Canada. (The one from Calgary above, was particularly good). He came to encourage Canadians, and speak against the objective evil of the Canadian government. These speeches coincided with the Canadian Court ruling against the Trudeau Liberals for their abusive use of the Emergencies Act against the people of Canada during the Covid lockdowns. Any normal leader would step down in shame, but Trudeau and Freeland are not normal people.

The Canadian media, clutching their pearls at Carlson “being allowed into Canada,” attempted to frighten their shrinking audience that “Hitler was about preach hate” to everyone! Carlson invited the CBC to interview him and put it on TV, but the national Canadian propaganda outlet declined. They never bothered to listen to his talk.

I have followed Carlson’s career now for well over a decade and his personal philosophy can be boiled down to this: 1) a government’s fundamental obligation is to its own citizens, and 2) everything the government does should result in human flourishing and stronger families. Governments of the West have abandoned these goals for their globalist visions, and in fact, are doing the exact opposite, on purpose. They have set upon a course that will only cause increasing misery. Our leaders are evil. Trudeau and Biden are evil men bent on destroying their countries. There is no other rational conclusion one can reach.

It goes without saying that what Trudeau did during the Covid lockdown and the trucker protests can only be described as evil. He had no authority to take away the rights of his citizens in the manner in which he did. Likewise in the US, Joe Biden has exemplified evil in leaving the southern border to Mexico wide open. The invasion that has occurred over the last 2 to 3 years has forever changed the face of America and will bring unimaginable hardship to that country over the next several decades. We haven’t even begun to witness the rotten fruit this tree will bear.

We need to call evil what it is, and it is embodied in these derelict leaders with every decision they make. Think of what these men advocate for: abortion on demand at any point in a pregnancy, assisted suicide (50,000 this year in Canada alone), open borders, privileges based on skin colour, foreign wars, massive debt, and national surveillance programs, to name but a few. We are embarking on dark times as the even darker hearts of men attempt to rule over us, not for us.

This evil we are witnessing, if history is our teacher, can only lead to revolution. When evil abounds, good men must rise against it. We must not allow this evil to gain any greater a foothold than it already has. We need the good among us to stand, and fight the good fight. We need to see the evil men in charge held to account and punished for what they have done. When evil abides, revolution is necessary, so justice can prevail.

Thoughts On The World This Christmas

Everywhere you look the world is in turmoil. At almost every turn you can see the results of man’s destructive nature, and their abandonment of God. Over the last several decades we have done our best to eliminate God from modern discourse, and mocked the importance of Christian belief, one of the founding pillars of Western civilization, as primitive and unnecessary to the enlightened of our age.

Society is divided over every issue. Some think there are two sexes, while others think a man can be a woman. Some cheer the recent attacks on Jews, while others decry such evil. Some believe we can exterminate the life of the unborn without a second thought, while others fight to save the most vulnerable in society. Some celebrate ugliness in all its forms, while others struggle to bring man back to an understanding of what is good, and beautiful, and true.

The only answer to these problems and the sick, sinful condition that so plagues the heart of man, is the baby whose birth we celebrate this day. Jesus, the Christ, was God made flesh, who came into the world to conquer sin, death, and evil. He is the only answer to the depression, the loneliness, the despair, and the wickedness, that engulfs every corner of this planet.

The world is hopeless. Only a turning to Christ can save us from what is coming. Our time of blessing and abundance has wained, and a time of war, persecution, and scarcity is upon us. Hard times are coming, and refuge will only be found in the Lord. Only that babe who was once placed tenderly in a manger can save us. This is why we celebrate Christmas: we rejoice over God’s love for us.

Notes From The Field – Book 2:1

For some time now I’ve carried Field Notes notebooks with me to write down and record various thoughts when I have them. It is something I wanted to become habit-forming and enjoyable over time. I like to write and sometimes jotting down a quick note is enough. I think that in the computer age many people’s hand-writing has suffered, mine included. I’ve always thought there was something more beneficial to writing things down.

I am not claiming there is anything wonderful, or original, or ground-breaking, in any of these thoughts and musings. On the contrary, sometimes they are the product of those boring moments when the mind wanders. There is no organization to them although the themes at times seem common. I will record them here in the way they were first written, only correcting any grammatical and punctuation errors.

Each completed book of notes is too much for one blog post, so most notebooks, once filled, will be broken up into two or three parts and posted over time.

-There has never been a thriving and safe atheistic society in human history. Atheism always evolves into evil.

-Society’s problem is a colossal lack of meaning. They will medicate themselves with drugs and alcohol to assuage their feelings of emptiness.

-Diversity is not a strength. It always leads to conflict within a population. We need to glorify the things that unite us as humans, despite our diversity.

-Trans people are lashing out in violence because they know inside they are broken people and they have an intense hatred for those who are normal. They cannot cope with their mental disorder.

-The drinker is weak, the drunkard a fool.

-One of the best things I ever did was not allow my son to be medicated for a wrongful and fictitious diagnosis of ADHD, with some brain-frying drug. Young men who have been on these SSRI’s are struggling badly in all kinds of ways.

-It is frustrating to watch those who know nothing, think they know best. This is the folly of our age.

-No one chooses to do evil because it’s evil. They choose seemingly good things in the hopes that the evil underneath the surface will not deceive them.

-To gaze up at the stars in the dark of night, and think we are just one big cosmic accident, is either the height of arrogance, or stupidity.

-Watching how drunk people talk and act, and how grossly sad  and pathetic it is, makes the sober life all the more appealing.

-Do virtuous things daily, and then do them again. As most embrace pleasure and deviancy and lead lives of despair, the virtuous person who pursues beauty and truth will flourish like a field of mountain flowers.

-We live in a time when dialectic has become irrelevant and rhetoric wins the day. Whoever can make the best emotional argument, devoid of science, facts, or reality, wins. This has been one of my main criticisms of conservatism. We seed ground by playing on their field. We lose the rhetorical battle before the real war begins.

-Universities are cesspools of idiocy, and academia a scourge on society. The sooner this whole enterprise collapses, the better off civilization will be.

-Leftism wants to make you believe that everything ugly, is in fact beautiful.

-The trans activists are proof that demons walk among us.

-We are at war for the soul of the west. The time for compassion is over until sanity is restored.

-A person is the sum total of the thoughts he thinks, and the words he says; that is why we see such decadence, deviancy, and despair in this modern age, where people have given up on the pursuit of those things which are good, beautiful, and true.

-Alcohol is a stupid trade. The drinker exchanges a few hours of fake, substance-induced joy, for 5 to 7 days of the depressant effects of the alcohol leaving his body after its harm is done. Only someone with poor risk assessment skills would make such a trade.

-There are no do-overs. Life is a series of choices. So choose wisely. Regret is painful.

-Objective truth must be the reality of a prosperous society, for if nothing can be called true, everything is permitted.

-The new pagans have gained control; the barbarians have seized the city. The civilizational collapse is well underway.

-The trans movement is the rebirth of ancient child sacrifice as they promote chemical castration and the sexualization of our most vulnerable. They are sacrificing children to the gods of this age.

-The modern pagans love abortion. It is the genteel method by which we sacrifice our children to the gods.

-“Pronouns in your bio” signify nothing more than adherence to the doctrines of a religious cult.

-One day I will die. So today, I am going to live.

-The climate changes. It has since the beginning of time. Putting the same morons in charge of this issue who miss handled COVID-19 so poorly, is civilization suicide.

-What a tragedy that people will give up “amazing” for “mediocre.”

-Western nations are in decline, or rather, free fall. Nations always rot from within first, and the moral degradation of the last few decades has hastened the demise.

-Heartbreak and loss are greater pains than any physical ailment. The heart feels far more than the body ever could.

-Travel is wonderful, but everyone needs to know where home is.

-The problem with the ignorant is that they’re plentiful.

-Even casual drinkers have a problem with alcohol, as they think their casual cravings are normal. That is the problem when you combine a powerful drug with a weak mind.

-There is no worse feeling than quiet despair.

-Imagine thinking that getting drunk in bars with strangers was a good and healthy way of socializing and meeting people. This is how weak and lazy people look to entertain themselves. We live in a time of quiet desperation, that craves the worst kind of entertainment. We need to rethink how we socialize with friends and look to build strong, sober relationships with people of high-quality.

-The US banking system and economy will collapse. It is inevitable. This is my prediction. (May 1st).

-You can tell everything you need to know about a person if they stand on escalators.

-Having a daughter who is sweet and wise is a real blessing. She sees right through the ways the world is trying to destroy young women.

-Evil is at its best when it disguises itself as virtuous, and masquerades as tolerance and compassion. The great evils today are done under the cover of “tolerance.”

-Two thirds of the world drinks alcohol. A third of those suffer from an AUD; alcohol use disorder. It is a powerful and highly addictive drug. We have an epidemic of people using this drug to cauterize the hopelessness, emptiness, and meaninglessness of their lives. We are watching people destroy their physical and mental well-being for a few hours of fake happiness. They are to be pitted in their weakness, and grieved over for their reliance on a drug to feel any kind of joy.

-One of the greatest ironies of the progressive mind virus, is that for all the talk of “toxic masculinity,” it’s the leftist support of the trans movement invading female spaces and reducing womanhood to a costume one can wear, that is damaging women the most. It’s not men, it’s those who support this evil ideology that denigrate the beauty of womanhood the most.

-People will give their time and attention to the things they value most.

-The trans movement and those that supported it, will be ashamed of what they have done in the years to come, when the extent of the damage done to children and teens is fully made known.

-People will gravitate to others, who make them feel good about themselves; those who give them a sense of security, and goodness.

-Always believe someone’s actions; not their words.

-It was once said that “ridicule was man’s most potent weapon.“ We need to bring back shaming, and ridicule for those who are promoting and celebrating the perversions and deviancies we see in modern culture. We need to mark those trying to sexualize kids at every turn.

-Love heralded as an emotion, and not as an act of will, has been a large part of the downfall of modern relationships.

-Is there any truer verse than Romans 7:15 to describe the heart?

-The courageous people of today are those who refuse to take part in the lies spread by the media, the government, and the rainbow cult.

-We are society awash in meaninglessness; people with no greater purpose or desire for the good. They pursue temporary pleasures to their own peril and make themselves woefully unhappy in the long run.

-If you are a slave to a substance or desire, you are not free.

-Foregoing short-term pleasures is hard. Discipline is not an easy road to walk.

-Our choices in life make us who we are. Some choose wisely and live peacefully. Others choose poorly, and must endure the consequences.

-There is much darkness in the world, and too many people afraid of the light.

-Nature and creation is the one true beauty in this world.

-Perhaps a society that chemically castrates children in the name of ideology, when we know close to 90% of them will self correct their dysphoria through puberty, really is on the side of evil, and deserves to collapse. When a society does not protect its children from predators and harm, it is lost. This is a full frontal attack on children; on the most vulnerable among us. Evil will always present itself as doing good.

-Too many men and women spend too much time making themselves appear physically attractive, and not enough time making themselves mentally and emotionally attractive.

-I think part of growing up and maturing is realizing that getting drunk in bars is what losers do.

-When you see the world for what it is, and the multitude of evils that engulfs us, it’s no wonder so many suffer from depression.

-We are a society that now glorifies the perverse, the grotesque, and the ugly. Evil’s slow march has convinced many to reject the good, the beautiful, and the true.

-There was an Old Testament dictate that the people of God should not tattoo themselves like the pagans do. One look around at the “skin“ of modern society, and the epidemic of tattoos, and one can only conclude that paganism is the dominant religion of the day.

-Sports on TV are merely distractions. For years I followed them with a cult-like further they were designed for. It’s “bread and circuses“ for the stupefied masses.

-Why is it that people so often disappoint us?

-Humans are self-destructive in almost every aspect of their lives.

-Alcohol will always always always destroy people and the relationships they value most.

-How does materialism account for evil in the world? It can’t. It’s impossible. And therefore should be rejected as a nonsensical belief system.

-Corporate culture exist to create obedient and placid worker robots. They no longer encourage any thought outside the approved woke orthodoxy.

-Rome fell because they welcomed the barbarians inside their gates. Western nations will likewise fall because of the self-destructive nature of their immigration policies.

-Evil abounds. The good man stands against it, and searches for glimmers of light in the darkness.

-Incredible that so many encourage war (always in the name of democracy, which is laughable) without understanding, or experiencing the sheer horror of it. There is no greater evil on earth than war.

-People drink out of boredom or because they are boring. They struggle to find meaning in their lives so they mask that meaninglessness with alcohol.

-Later in life, no one will remember their drunken nights because they are fake, meaningless, and forgettable. They will remember the places they’ve seen, and the people they’ve built deep relationships with. They will not remember the fog of those drug-induced nights of fake joy and hung-over mornings.

-The impulse of the powerful is to censor speech in a manner that keeps them in power. The notion of free speech is a fairytale we all like to pretend exists. There will always be speech that the powerful will deem offensive. It is just a revolving set of blasphemy laws put in place by those who want to control others.

-“All Graves go unvisited in the end.” Our mortality should humble us, and cause us to be good stewards of the time we have been granted.

58

The memories many; moments come flooding back.
There’s nary a thing in this life, I ever lacked.
I’ve loved and lived, as every man should,
With joys and sorrows, both grim and good.

Life’s twists and turns, I’d’ve never guessed,
Humbled and grateful; I am immensely blessed.
May the Lord walk before me where’er I go;
Keep my kids faithful, and help them to grow.

It’s getting dark; it’s getting late,
The flames turn to embers; my bed awaits.
I’ll arise on the ’morrow, for a new day awaits
Til my time is done, and my steps abate.
These are the things I contemplate,
As the years slip by, and I turn 58.

The Transcendentals

I often refer to what are known as the transcendentals, or, the three immaterial properties of being. The ancient philosophers wrestled with these concepts as they attempted to understand the world and the purpose of the universe. A transcendental refers to something that exists outside of the material world; something that we know exists, yet is not part of time, space, or matter; and are essential to the human experience when we speak of the nature of being and reality. They are universal values that we long for and seek. We yearn to want, and to know, the Good, the Beautiful, and the True.

The Ancients saw these as attributes of God Himself, and therefore essential elements of the created order and part of who we are and what we desire. They believed that it was through these elements that Divine meaning was communicated to us. Man desires the good, loves the beautiful, and yearns to know the truth. These things can’t be explained by some mindless, directionless, evolutionary process for they exist independent of the physical and are properties of the spiritual nature of man. These values have transcended people groups and cultures throughout time, and man has never grown weary of them, as they are the hallmarks of, and point towards, the existence of perfection. While the nature of these transcendental values may be subjective to many, their existence is innately objective to all.

We desire goodness in our lives, and beauty excites and motivates us. But that which is true is of greatest value, for no matter how good or beautiful something may be, if it is not true, then it is of little worth. It is truth that defines reality, and allows us to know what is good, and appreciate what is beautiful.

Our lives should seek to reflect these values and have our minds filled with the knowledge of them. These three transcendental qualities point to the reality of something outside ourselves, something greater than ourselves, something truly meaningful, something that itself is the Source of all things Good, Beautiful, and True.

As the Apostle once wrote, “…whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report…think on these things.” -Phil 4:8

Notes From The Field – Book 1:3

-Abortion: women exterminating their own children for whim and convenience.

-Abortion: the murder of the most vulnerable in society out of complete selfishness.

-Abortion: the most selfish act a woman could ever possibly commit.

-Abortion: making racism, sexism, and inequality, look glorious by comparison in the hierarchy of abominable acts.

-Abortion: women being convinced it’s about bodily autonomy and letting men off the hook since 1973.

-The insanity of Privilege Theory cannot be overstated. It is the subtle racism and sexism of the Marxists, based on a persons immutable traits.

-One of the worst things you can do is meet your hero. As a boy I met a hockey player I had idolized, and was so disappointed. I learned early that looking up to athletes and celebrities was the past time of the fool.

-If we praise and celebrate a mother killing her own child in a clinic, can we really be shocked at the amount of violence now overtaking the whole of society?

-Veganism is the marketing and normalization of malnutrition.

-Veganism elevates the ontological status of animals to a place they do not belong in the natural hierarchy of creatures. It is a moral belief. It is a religious belief. Scientifically, it is not a healthy diet.

-Our taste buds “evolved” as a warning system. That initial disgust at the taste of alcohol is our body warning us that the toxin is not good for us. “Acquiring a taste” for it is overriding your bodies built in warning system to your own ill health.

-There has been no lyric more poignant in the last decade than Strangers by City and Colour. It describes perfectly the despair and loneliness of the modern day functional nihilist.

-If a show or movie does not contain some form of sexual content, the modern mind will turn it off out of boredom. Their dopamine receptors have been abused, hi-jacked, and programmed.

-If you want a strong, masculine man, to care for you, you will have to submit to him.

-I am pro-choice in a sense. You can choose abstinence, contraception, adoption, or motherhood. Murder is not a choice a civilized society should allow.

-Everyone deep down knows that killing your own unborn child is wrong. That’s why we have so many euphemisms for it: choice, reproductive health, reproductive freedom, healthcare, etc.

-Porn is popular because people are starved for real intimacy and connection in a fake online, social media world.

-“Tolerance and apathy are the last virtues of a dying society.” -Aristotle. “Tolerance is the virtue of the man without convictions.” -Chesterton. Our society is crumbling at the altar of tolerance upon which we’ve sacrificed so much and ignored the wisdom and warnings of the past.

-There are no atheists. Everyone worships something. Most people just haven’t figured out what master they serve.

-The mental health of the women in a society will determine the future health of that society.

-At their heart, nations are a homogenous group of people. Multi-ethnic nations do not prosper or survive for any great length of time. Liberal immigration policies will destroy the West, for we know that the greater the diversity in a population, the greater the conflict.

-Sex, drugs, and alcohol, exemplify the empty folly that enslaves this generation. Nihilism is the modern religion of the masses.

-Progressivism creates nothing. It destroys the happiness created by past traditions, out of envy.

-If you’ve ever wondered how or why “good Germans” participated in the atrocities of the Holocaust, look no further than today’s “woke” leftists. It’s the same anti-human ideology. It’s the same evil. If history is our teacher, we have a good reason to oppose it, and stand against their hatred.

-In a prosperous and selfless society, the adults will sacrifice themselves for their children and the future generations. In a sick and selfish culture, the adults will sacrifice their children for their own prosperity and comfort.

-Western civilization arose from the combination of three things: the European nations, Christianity, and the Greco-Roman rule of law and philosophy. If any of these three pillars crumbles, the whole house will begin to fall. All three are under attack. They need to be protected at all costs.

-The rejection of the Christian sexual ethic leads to abortion, single motherhood, perversions, and the destruction of family units. The sexual revolution has stolen our long-term contentment in exchange for short term pleasure.

-Many years from now, the pro-abortion advocates will be viewed much like we view the slave owners of the past. They were for the selfish subjugation of another. They believed their leisure and convenience was more important than another’s life and freedom.

-Failure is hard. Admitting you failed is harder.

-“Climate science” is for those who want to cloak themselves in the veneer of science.

-Atheism is a sign of a collapsing society. It is destructive by its very nature.

-The unintelligent and incompetent use “wokeness” in order to replace those more intelligent and more competent than themselves because they can’t compete on a level playing field.

-True peace is being content in the mundane things of daily life.

-“If God be my judge.” Imagine if we all lived knowing that that will be the reality.

-Every cemetery and every gravestone should be a reminder to us that our time here is finite, and that we should awake each day with purpose.

-The “rod of correction” can sting for a lifetime.

-There is nothing more soulless than a city.

-The “silent treatment” is a killer of relationships. There is nothing more immature and selfish than ignoring someone and staying quiet. It is a weapon born of malice and contempt.

-The advent of the birth control pill made the legalization of abortion an eventual necessity.

The Myth Of Equality

It is hard to go anywhere, or read anything these days without someone somewhere blathering on about equality and how important it is to be striving for equality in such an unfair and uncaring world. It has to be said: the world is indeed unfair and uncaring, AND the notion of equality is a complete myth, and an impossibility to achieve. It does not exist, and never will. If it actually did it exist, we would not have to hear about it incessantly by the malcontents who use it as a bludgeon and a weapon to coerce and control others.

Let me state it clearly so there is no confusion: humans are equal in value, but they are not equal in any other way. Every person, no matter their station, is of equal worth, for they bear the image of God. (That is why in every godless, atheistic society in history genocides occurred because some were seen as worthless and expendable in the eyes of the powerful). But, and it should be obvious to all, there exists no two human beings that are equal in ability, intelligence, motivation, skill, and a host of other individualistic traits that make us unique. By definition, humans cannot be equal.

Much is said about racial inequality but I find that topic almost irrelevant. Skin pigmentation should not even matter and these people differences are more cultural in nature than they are in colour. I think the more interesting topic is that of male and female, especially in this age where the gender lines are purposely being blurred.

Men and women are not equal. They never will be. They are complementary to one another; neither one more valuable than the other, and both necessary in a functioning society. Men are the builders of civilization, and women are the nurturers of it; each role important in its own right. (I’d argue that the latter is actually the most important role of the two).

Destroying the proper functioning of male/female relationships can only serve to weaken society. The promotion of effeminate men and masculine women does a disservice to these attributes that are necessary to pass along generation after generation. Camille Paglia, the lesbian, feminist historian, has remarked that, “as androgyny in a society becomes more prevalent, it is a sure sign that a civilization is starting to unravel. You find it again and again and again in history.” This has always been one of the seminal markers of societal decline as a culture descends further into decadence and perversion, and we are witnessing a great unravelling of this societal fabric as the trans activists attack every traditional structure with their hate-filled rhetoric.

Men and women are not at war. The sexes need not battle one another. These divisions are meant to weaken and divide us and we should resist all talk of sexism and inequality. We should look to the other as necessary and complementary to what each has to offer. I have said nothing new or revelatory here. This was understood for millennia. I have merely stated the observational truth of history and what has worked from the beginning of time. Those that want to dismantle these things that are good, and beautiful, and true, need to be opposed. Society needs strong, complementary, male/female relationships to function as they were meant to.

Paglia went on to say,

…I found in my study that history is cyclic, and everywhere in the world you find this pattern in ancient times: that as a culture begins to decline, you have an efflorescence of transgender phenomena. That is a symptom of cultural collapse….So rather than people singing the praises of humanitarian liberalism that allows all of these transgender possibilities to appear and to be encouraged, I would be concerned about how Western culture is defining itself to the world…Because in fact these phenomena are inflaming the irrational, indeed borderline psychotic opponents of Western culture …Nothing better defines the decadence of the West…than our toleration of open homosexuality and this transgender mania now.

We need to celebrate and affirm traditional masculinity and femininity as the achievable ideals for society so that we can maintain order and function and build strong relationships and families. We need not view the other as the enemy, but rather, as a partner in building something beautiful together, each with a different, but necessary role.
