How do we know He's turned His Face away from us?
When we look at the dying remains of what was Christian Europe, we can see that He has allowed the ancient enemies of Christianity to occupy great stretches of land. He has allowed them to subvert the European countries with bribes and threats, becoming ever stronger as the once Christian peoples disappear.
When they feel they can attack with impunity, they will destroy the remaining Christians, and replace the governments and laws with their own. Women will be treated little better than animals, slavery will be common, rich men will own all the women, and repression will be the order of the day.
God allows this to happen. When we read the First Programming Record (Old Testament), we see that God sent "lying spirits" to lead the evil kings astray. Now, He uses bribes. He has allowed a government to set itself whose leaders need neither Church, kings, nor votes, but is moved by bribery. (The last President of France, after ten years of office, had over $60,000,000.00 deposited in Japanese banks.)
Europe has gone from Monarchy to Democracy to Bureaucracy. The European peoples, severed from The Church, have no power that protects them. Their leaders are bribed with money stolen from them, even as the oppressors' boots stomp ever more heavily upon them.
As the First Programming Record attests, we can be saved from corrupt, evil governments by returning to God. Catholic Fundamentalism is one road to follow, helping us all to see the Power of The Programmer.

The leftist mind. Selective use of brain segments.
All of us go through a phase where we enjoy liberal contradictions. Rousseau, the famous French leftist, spoke of the joys of "Primitive Life" while putting several of his children in orphanages where he knew they would starve to death. He was too vain to care.
We enjoy seeing Al Gore complain about "excessive carbon footprints" while flying to meetings in huge, private jets. It's fun watching John Edwards complain about "over-consumption" while living in a house ten or twenty times bigger than the people whose votes he seeks.
It's an observation of insanity to see people complain about badly treated animals while never complaining about aborted human babies. It's fascinating to watch them inventing the imaginary terrors of "Man-made Global Warming!" as they ignore solar output, which goes up and down exactly on track with planetary temperature changes from Earth to Neptune.
Liberals complain about drug use, but never worry about over-drugging students with mind-altering drugs like Ritalin.
When we point out contradictions and inconsistencies that keep them from truth, we hear name-calling and often sense great anger.
They have shut down whole areas of their brain. Literally, they cannot see the truth because they have blinded themselves to it. When the New York Times reporter said "Communism is working" while millions were intentionally starved to death, he was valuing his own view of the world more than the lives of helpless Russians.
The acceptance of shallow excuses to justify the death of others is the hallmark of the liberal mind. And, of the soul that freely chooses damnation as its destiny.

Sin lives in parts of the brain.
Scriptures record that evil spirits were often driven out of people. All but the most saintly of us have evil spirits inside us.
The evil spirits of lust, for instance, tend to live in one part of the brain. From their cerebral home, they move like lightning to focus the mind on gratifying the the senses around them. One can sometimes feel these demons taking a quick glance at something improper and trying to magnify it into a longer thought that the demon wants to become a destructive obsession.
Other demons live in other parts of the brain. The demons within feed on the tiny amounts of electricity they can focus on themselves. If we don't think about sensuality, the demons of lust in our mind will grow dim, but, like a reverse light-emitting diode, is always ready to darken up.
Demons of Anger live in another part of the mind. They love to focus our thoughts on hate and revenge. Like all demons, they, too, feed on the negative energy they can generate.
Each of the tribes of demons (the mnemonic, PEAS, Green, Good, and Little helps us remember them in order of danger: Pride, Envy, Anger, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony, and Lust)
generates and absorbs special wavelengths of negative spiritual energy. Their end goal is death, so it pays to short-circuit their feeding by prayer, fasting, and more prayer.
Prayer and fasting generate a spiritually positive wavelength that cancels out the negative wavelengths that feed and empower the demonic forces to take over ever more of the mind until they can cause its death.
Those whose minds are dominated by demons tend to have political beliefs that are often reflective of how badly their minds have been ravaged by one or more tribes of demons. If demons gain power over people, and encourage them to take over political entities, whole nations can be destroyed.

Feeding the spirits.
In the spiritual realms, there are two types of energies. One is love. The other, hate. They manifest themselves within human beings in the usual ways. Those who love are pro-life and freedom. Those dominated by hate are pro-death and slavery. We can tell the differences between those who chose to love God and neighbor and those who do the opposite.
There are, among human beings, very few pure wavelengths of love or hate. Those who hate, for instance, will sometimes love their own children. Those who love will often hate some of their enemies.
The Programmer has set up things so that the spiritual forces are able to feed on the positive or negative "electrical forces" (we can think of it as that, but only as a crude analogy) that we generate.
Those we choose to "feed" are the ones that will grow stronger in our minds. They will obtain more power from their sources.
So, pray a lot. Keep the power to do good stronger.

Spirits.
Most of us find spirits to be undetectable. Others can communicate with them. The Witch of Endor was able to call spirits up from the dead and speak to them. Jesus was able to recognize demons and drive them out of people. So were His Disciples. The Roman Catholic Church routinely drives evil spirits from people.
Such spirits are disrupters of both mind and body. If we are disorganized, our life and work suffers.
Evil spirits cause disorganization, confusion, and aim to inflict the chaos that is death. The human mind and body is the most complicated thing on earth. Spirits who want to destroy mind and body do so by introducing confusion. Angels, on the other hand, know that our basic, spiritual nature is best served by the Catechism of The Church.
Every person is constantly being undermined by those who wish their neighbors to be father from love and life toward hate and death. It helps us to gain spiritual strength by imagining The Programmer as the source of "good" energy. We absorb "good" energy by opening ourselves up to that energy by praying. As we pray, the "good" within us becomes stronger. We are able to see that those who seek our destruction are possessed by demons of chaos.
While we are praying, the demons have a harder time attacking. They simply can't get past the armor that prayer provides. So, we grow stronger by becoming closer to The Programmer while simultaneously moving farther from the source of confusion.

"We do not do battle with men, but with Powers and Principalities."
St. Paul
Our neighbors are not "evil spirits" but are often possessed by them. Understanding that helps us obey the injunction, "Love your neighbors, do good to them that hurt you."
The "neighbors" and the "them" are pawns of the other side, convinced that is it "all right" for them to hurt their neighbors in pursuit of some "higher goal".
The goals that justify their hatred of neighbors seem more different than they are. "Global warming" is no different than "central planning" or "equalization of income", or whatever the latest excuse for bigger government is. All their causes are the same; all are designed to disrupt the natural, human tendency toward organization.
Every human activity becomes an opportunity for the other side to destroy their neighbors. Public education offers every confusion from "new math" to routinely giving mind-altering drugs to children. Medicine and transportation offer many excuses for the greedy to confiscate money from their neighbors.
Once any human activity has enough participants, the demon-possessed want to "help". Those who pick their neighbors' pockets have turned public education into an expensive joke. Teaching has become progressive brainwashing, medicine turned into an increase of pain and impoverishment, transportation into a vast wasteland.
It does little good to get mad at those who profit from the destruction of people and institutions. We can, however, pray that The Programmer lets them understand that their souls are more important than their ever-growing masses of pottage.
Praying for them channels power from The Programmer into their minds and helps them get rid of the chaos that stems from thinking that they are better than us. It's better to pray for them than hate them.

Programming power.
The orbiting Hubble telescope was pointed at one portion of space. It was like holding a tiny lens the size of a grain of sand at arm's length, and looking through it. Over time, the light that came through the lens showed that there were countless galaxies in the direction it was pointing.
By one implication, no matter what direction it was pointed, a similar number of galaxies may be inferred.
One interpretation is "The cosmos is so big that no God could have produced it."
Catholic Fundamentalists have a different idea. "The Programmer programmed vast programs, some of which are replicating. His Program has no boundaries that He has not written."
He programmed men in such a way that we could interpret every part of His Program that we discovered in two ways. We can decide to think: "Things are so vast and complicated that they must have appeared over billions of years." Or, we can think, "The Programmer, to provide each generation with free will, programmed things for us to see, no matter where we looked."
We can choose to see all as a naturally occurring event or as a result of His Program. We know what our latest choicees were.
We must choose carefully. The eternal fate of our immortal soul depends on which approach we take.
P. S. To be sure we're considering all the angles, we have to admit that it's possible that God programmed whatever light would go through the Hubble by only programming the light sources that He, with His infinite knowledge, knew that the Hubble would receive.

Self-hating whites.
More than any other people in history, Caucasians in Caucasian countries are richer and freer than any of Shem's, Ham's, or Japheth's children. So, it's no surprise that members of the other two tribes are desperate to get into Caucasian Countries.
Catholic Fundamentalists understand that's because most Europeans are descended from the 12 Tribes, which began with Shem. That's why most white people are Semites. Our ancestors were familiar with the First Programming Log (Old Testament), and were quicker to accept the validity of the Last Programming Log. The societies based on those Logs valued love, truth, and obedience, so those societies are the targets of those who have chosen hate, lies, and ego-mania.
That closeness to The Programmer has manifested itself in riches and freedom. But, just as there were Jews against Jerusalem, there are many Caucasians who plot against their neighbors. Such neighbor-haters have always sold out their fellow countrymen for bribes.
The hatred that many white people have for other whites comes from the sins they embrace. They invite the demons of Pride and Envy into minds. Anger and Greed quickly follow. Fortunately for us, Sloth slows them down.
Neighbor-hating is sometimes camouflaged. "Equal opportunity" is a perennial excuse for destroying people. "Equal opportunity" and "fairness" are buttressed by ever more laws and agencies, all of which seek to destroy Caucasian excellence in every field. Soon, the insanity of such notions is extended to animals, which are, in extreme cases, given quasi-human "rights".
White people are continually attacked. Spear-heading that onslaught are self-hating whites. It is the enemy's hope that we are all enslaved, then, destroyed. Just as Benedict Arnold sold out his fellow freedom-fighters, so there are many Caucasians who will sell us out. The Demons convince them that loving their neighbors is the greatest sin of all.
We, who know that neighbors are there to be loved, begin to fight back by understanding that their hatred comes from the utter lack of love in their lost and lonely lives. Prayers access the rays of love that emit from The Programmer. Prayers direct that holy energy into the disordered, demonic minds flooded in chaos and hate. One can picture angels surfing down the rays of love into the dark corners of the haters' mind.
Our goal must not be to hurt the hater. Our job is to request The Programmer to get rid of the demons who freely chose to become hate by getting them away from us.

Exorcism.
Our primary responsibility in life is to save our souls. To do so, we must drive out the demons that keep us from downloading The Programmer's Program. As we do so, we make tremendous intellectual and spiritual progress. As lies and demons (they may be the same thing) are driven from us, or reduced in power, we become both freer and smarter. And, better.
The Sacraments are a tremendous help in getting rid of our personal demons. So is prayer. When we pray, we are actually "plugged in" to The Program. Prayer is not as direct a download as Communion, and not as straightforward as Confession, but is available to us at any time.
As we pray to drive the causes of confusion and chaos out of our own minds, we must remember to pray as well for our family and friends. And, we must also pray for The Church to survive and thrive despite the endless attacks launched on it from the other side.
We pray for people, and peoples, as well. Those who wish to destroy us are driven by the same old demons; Pride, Envy, Anger, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony, and Lust. We pray that The Programmer will send enough power to everyone in the world to set themselves free of the demons that drive them to sin.
Angels and saints are powerful sources of spiritual power. Asking them for help is akin to putting a "booster" on a transmitter. They can help us with every problem we have, beginning with those that dwell within us.

Many have a problem seeing how Catholics and many Protestants can believe there are three persons in One God. They may wish to consider many of the men they see who, on our programming level, reflect the same components.
God is the Father.
God is the Son.
God is the Spirit.
Three Persons in One.
A man is a father.
He's also a son.
At the same time, a husband.
Three persons in one.
God is the Father.
God is the Son.
God is the Spirit.
Three Persons in One.

When did "global warming" begin to be followed by "moron"?
"Global Warming" is often followed by "Moron" or "Morons". The poor, deluded fools who make a living by any falsehood are doomed to lives based on lies. They are unhappy, miserable people who lie to, and steal from, their neighbors. Global Warmers are among the least sane, least honest people on the planet.
Recently, it was discovered that they had manipulated figures to "prove" that 1998 was the warmest year on record. The numbers, when corrected, show that 1934 was actually a little warmer than 1998. That, of course, prompted more lies and distortion because it's hard to sell "global warming" when 1934 is warmer than any year between that and 2007.
Global Warming Morons are slightly brighter than the Global Freezing Morons whom they replaced. Those pitiful creatures had signed on to the alarm du jour a couple of decades ago, only to find there was no money in that lie. The lies with the greatest opportunity of profit were to be found in the Global Warming lies. Global Freezing, after all, required mining more coal, drilling for more oil, and, horror of horrors, building more nuclear generating plants. None of these offered any opportunities for the burgeoning Moron Community.
Global Warming gave them an excuse to stop all that, and more. The main loss of credibility did not come from science, but from the sheer "dumbness" of global warming's most irrationally vocal supporters.
"Each person should only be allowed to use one square of toilet paper." one of them announced.
Suddenly, the pitiful intellectual level of Global Warmers was seen clearly by all, and the word "moron" began to follow "global warming".

Down the stairs of doom.
Bird-watchers enjoy studying the way different kinds of birds fit into the larger scheme of things. It's fascinating to watch swallows grabbing bugs out of the air, woodpeckers chiseling them out of trees, and robins gobbling them up on the ground.
Some of us like to watch liars lie. The very best liars gravitate to the high-paying jobs on big news networks. Associated Press writers spread un- and half-truths through thousands of newspapers. Television broadcasters insert lies directly into the minds of even the most illiterate citizens.
The Global Warming lies are invariably intriguing. One exaggeration follows another. "Polar bears are disappearing." is followed by, "Too many polar bears may cause extinction." We shake our heads in wonderment. "How can they contradict themselves so often?"
When we meditate on the passage, "A house divided cannot stand." we see how spiritually suicidal it is to put our trust in any group of self-serving liars. Like Leninists fighting Trotskyite's fighting Stalinists, their endless war against the world and each other goes on as long as they are on the earth.
Each lie takes them a step farther from the truth. As they descend, the awareness of the eternity that awaits makes them easily possessed by the demons of anger. "I'll take as many of them with me as I can." they say as they attack others more viciously.
At that point, they are no longer fun to watch, but dangerous to all. Hate is their master, and hating is the only thing they love.
When we pray for them, we can visualize a laser firing a soothing burst of invisible, spiritual energy into their souls. Nothing else can neutralize the hatred that burns within.

Prayer, access to energy.
Catholic Fundamentalists are grateful for computers. They give us another way to see how powerful The Loving Programmer is. We can see how a wi-fi connection allows an isolated computer to connect with a vastly more powerful server. That server can then send information to other isolated computers.
It's a primitive analogy for our relationship with The Programmer. When we pray for something, or someone, we should understand that each prayer is a request for Programming Assistance. Some requests for Programming Assistance, mostly of the "Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes-Benz" variety are ignored.
Catholic Fundamentalists often pray to specialists. Those, for instance, in the artillery may call on St. Barbara for assistance. When we've lost something, we may ask St. Anthony to help us find it.
Angelic and saintly specialists have more rapid and direct access to The Programmer than humans attempting direct access. Specialists are able to get authorization more quickly.
When requests for Programming Assistance are answered, a command is sent from The Heavenly Server to the appropriate off-site being to provide whatever is thought to be necessary.
Often, we pray for the enlightenment of others. That sort of prayer is frequently answered. The spiritual nature of a soul, no matter how shriveled, spotted, and stained it may be by sin, will still respond to good spiritual forces. Praying for others also helps us to cleanse our mind of resentment or anger toward the person for whom we're praying, providing earthly reinforcement for the work of angels above.

Sensory deprivation.
The blind are not able to take wavelengths of light into their brains in a meaningful way. Blindness is caused by damage to eye, optic nerve, or parts of the brain, itself.
Those who are color-blind are not able to distinguish between colors, generally blues and greens.
Some of us have trouble hearing. The problem can be in one of many places from the ear to the brain. Ditto with tasting, smelling, and feeling.
The most dangerous form of blindness is spiritual. That sort of blindness keeps people from sensing The Programmer, Program, and Holy Wireless Connector. Spirits are usually kept beyond direct human awareness. And, within all of us, evil spirits work to keep us from seeing how real they are because sensing their reality may lead us to seeing how real God is.
"Faith is the evidence of things unseen." gives us a clue to sensing spirits. Those most beloved by The Programmer "step out on faith" to believe in the reality of spirits. As time goes on, prayers are answered, and The Programmer's spiritual reality becomes more obvious.
Those who spend a lot of time in prayer and fasting become more sensitive to the reality of spirits. While all of us are haunted by destructive thoughts and desires, those who bring themselves closer to God often seen the spiritual beings behind such things.
Alternatively, those same people are often able to directly sense God, His Angels, and His Saints. We can read the biographies of such holy people, and from them learn that we, ourselves, are not living lives that are as fulfilling as they might be.
We live among the spirits as fish do among water molecules. They are unaware both that they are in the water and that, if they are not careful, they will swallow bait in which a barbed hook has been hidden by an unseen enemy.
Belloc, a Catholic writer in the early part of the 1900s summed up spiritual reality in a line: "We are being watched by great and awful faces from beyond, and on those faces there are no smiles."

Caucasoids are Semites.
Catholic Fundamentalists believe that most peoples between India and Ireland are related since they are largely descended from Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The Ten Tribes that spawned them were moved into the southern Caucasus in 720 B.C. From there, they spread throughout much of Europe and Asia.
In their outward moves, they replaced the Hamites whose former presence is indicated by the many, many areas of standing stones and buried chambers. When we see the "Migratory Period" that took place after the semi-Semite Roman Empire fell, it is obvious that dozens of tribes immediately moved into the power vacuum left by Rome's collapse.
Semi-Semite Rome destroyed the Hamite culture of the Phoenicians/Carthaginians. Their success drove most human sacrifice from the area God's Chosen People would soon settle and in which most would eventually become Catholics.
Franks, Frisians, Angles, Saxons, Danes, and Norwegians were the latest to move into the area. They replaced the Celts, the name given to the first of the Ten Tribes to move into western Europe. It was they who exterminated and absorbed the Hamites who left their place names (many with the syllable "bal") behind.
From the "holy cows" of India to the "cattle raids" of Ireland, the bovines, made in gold and worshipped by the Ten Northern Tribes, were an important part of their pre-Catholic faiths.
The Visigoths of Spain are related to the Franks of France, the Danes of Denmark, and the Saxons of Saxony. As each tribe splintered, and many groups became kingdoms, they fought endless wars with each other.
What a stupid thing to do.

Leftists, autism, anorexia, attention deficit disorders, brain damage, etc.
People who hate tend to be leftists. Their hatred comes from the evil spirits of envy. They are driven by the desire to have more and for their neighbors to have less. Unable to provide goods and services that their neighbors freely choose to buy, they gravitate toward inserting themselves into tax structures that will support them better than they would be able to support themselves in a freer market.
Leftists universally hate intelligence. The historical constant of the left is their war on intelligence. One way they can make others dumber is to deprive them of essential nutrients, especially in their formative years.
The human brain is mostly fat. By depriving children of fat, the leftist hinders brain development. Children on fat-free diets are comparatively dumber, which makes the leftist comparatively smarter. Severe mental problems are caused by nutrient shortages, like running an engine on watered gasoline. Such disorders bring more opportunities to those seeking leftist funding.
Just as those with epilepsy can often be greatly helped by an ultra-high fat diet, lesser neurological disorders like autism and anorexia, can be helped, even cured, simply by eating more fats. When the brain is deprived of fat, lives are ruined, but a few leftists are enriched.
Intentionally ignoring the obviousness and ease of the cure for many sufferers, leftists purge diets, especially in schools, of fats, sugars, salt, and other sources of nutrients and energy. The damage this causes to the brains of children cannot help but be manifested by behavioral extremes.
At the same time, leftists force as many children as possible to play soccer, where "heading" the ball does even more damage to their brains.
Between diet and soccer, more problems are created. So, more programs to fund more leftists to "fix" the new problems are created.
Pray for those who participate in such evil, complex frauds. It is the only hope their souls have.

Another lie collapses.
Few things are as enjoyable as watching Babylonian lies fall apart. Yesterday, for instance, was the "coldest August 21st in history" in New York City.
And, it's hilarious to see sites like surfacestations.org that show actual pictures of weather stations next to barbecues, basketball hoops, air conditioning discharge vents, runways, or on top of roofs, asphalt, and concrete.
A week or so ago, the 1930s were found to be warmer than the 1990s. It's hard to prop up the Global Warming Lies with actual, hard evidence like that.
Now, we have the fun of watching the liars scramble to make up new lies. Yesterday it was said, "Temperatures in the United States, only two percent of the world's land mass are meaningless in the overall scheme of things."
Naturally, if all the temperature sensors in the United States were properly sited, and if the U.S. temperatures had been rising, and if, in fact, these same sensors had found global warming, we would hear it shouted from the housetops.
Truly, we do not do battle with men, but with "powers and principalities", as St. Paul tells us. We must love our enemies, and do good to them that hurt us.
But, we can still snicker at the obviousness of the lunacy their love of lies has inserted into their minds.

Similarities of lies.
All lies are told for illicit gain. All liars value earthly things and positions more than they value obeying The Programmer. Demons keep them focused on these goals.
Those who wanted to profit from the dissolution of the monasteries under Henry VIII told lies that exalted individual freedom. "Do free men have to listen to the Pope, his bishops and his priests? No! God wanted us to be free!"
Before the French Revolution, similar cries for "Freedom! Freedom! You have nothing to lose but your chains! " preceded the bloodbath that was to follow. That became, under Napoleon, a tsunami of slaughter that obliterated an entire generation of Frenchmen.
The same cry for "Freedom!" became an excuse to bring the entire Russian people under the most brutal enslavers in history.
Now, The Programmer has given those countries over to the enemies of all good English, French, and Russian people. Even now, the recurring cry for "Freedom!", (in this case, freedom from global warming, rising sea levels, air pollution, unfairness, etc.) keeps them from returning to the easy yoke and light burden of The Programmer's operating instructions.
They continue toward annihilation and slavery, sliding down the well-greased slides of lies. None of them realize that only by returning to The Programmer and His Church, the only defense of true freedom on earth, can they be rid of the demons that have infected them so badly that they are disappearing.
When any person or nation, turns away from His love, they are defenseless against the forces that have chosen lies, hatred, and death over truth, love, and life.
The vanity that causes men and nations to abandon God makes us easy prey for the forces of death.
Friday, August 24, 2007
Fear.
Fear is an absence of God. The less that people believe in Him, the more fearful they become. Leftists have to suffer through fear of every single thing on earth. Their fear leads them to conclude: "The world would be a better place without people."
The Programmer knew that many could be led to feel that way, so He made it clear that "we are here to dress and prune the earth" and that we are "to be fruitful, and multiply".
Those who turn from The Programmer automatically turn from those basic commands. Their punishment is fear. They force themselves to spend this life worrying about imaginary problems, frightened of imaginary bogeymen, and running from truth . Courage is a gift of The Holy Wireless Connector. The fearful become dour and negative, disapproving and sullen, untruthful and bitter. They are driven with fear.
The first step to overcoming our own fears is to ask The Holy Wireless Connector for an infusion of Courage. Then, we should humbly request Him to provide another of His gifts, Wisdom. "Holy Spirit, please give me the courage to confront these lies. At the same time, please give me the wisdom to understand their nature, and to deal effectively with those who tell and believe these lies."
Wisdom helps us focus courage on those forces with whom we must battle. Wisdom saves us from doing damage to our neighbors because it keeps us from fighting evil's deluded puppets rather than their demonic puppeteers in the spirit world nearby.

Causes of gun crime.
We've all heard that "Guns don't cause crime, people do." That truth may be refined somewhat. "Gun crime is caused by wearing hats backwards."

Britons, least capable of Celts, still fight the Teutons.
When Britons needed help against the far brighter Pictish and Irish invaders, they begged the Saxons to come over and protect them. The kindly Kings, Hengst and Horsa sailed over to save the Brits from the few dozen Irish raiders who caused such consternation among that weak and fragile people by stealing a few of their cows every year or so.
In the process of defending them against enemies that were readily sent into retreat by a half-dozen Saxon seamen loudly slapping their oars on the water, Saxons, along with Angles and Frisians, quickly realized how incompetent and disorganized the British tribes enjoyed being.
"A century ago, these same people were pleading with the Romans to come and protect them. Romans finally got sick of 'em, whining while they picked their pockets. Now, they want us to help. They just can't get organized enough to run their own country." the Teutons realized. An early Kipling described their zeal to help the Brits in The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle,
"'Tis our Teutonic burden, to send the best we breed.
To help the Celts in every way to serve their basic needs."
As had the Romans before them, Saxons soon realized how basically selfish, short-sighted, and self-centered the British Celts were. As the Chronicler reports in disappointment, the Brits' limited desires were generally recorded in only two words:
"Each one doth whine
'It's mine! It's mine!'
And that is all they say.
'It's mine! It's mine!'
Each one doth whine,
And not one of them will pray."
Their greed grew tiresome. Despite endless, and usually intentional, Brit shortcomings in every field of human endeavor, the Angles and the Saxons, to their everlasting credit, were patient with them for centuries.
To help the bitter Brits learn the principles of cooperation and getting along, Teutons had to organize much of the Island, if for no other reason than to keep them from using wells as outhouses. "Yes, yes, you like the splashing, but, really, it isn't good for you.", ten thousand Saxons explained to as many Brits.
And, taking over was the only way to teach the basic farming techniques that might someday allow the brighter Celts to feed themselves. "No, no, you must not throw the seeds into the air, but plant them in the ground." was one of the basic, Saxon lessons taught by their early "Peace Corps". Saxon missionaries taught so well that, in only a few centuries, many of the brighter Brits were able to appear to understand. Well, "understand" may be a bit of an exaggeration. "Mimic" is probably more accurate.
It became more difficult for the Saxons' descendants to deal with the stubborn, perverse, increasingly inbred Britons because of their bizarre breeding habits. Among that deeply unhappy people, only the most bitter and miserable were allowed to breed. This peculiar custom produced a race of ever-increasing sullenness, a people in which rage and envy soon replaced all other emotions. Fortunately, only a few hundred of them survive to the present day, and their numbers dwindle with every generation.
Finally, one Saxon king threw up his hands in defeat and decided, "These greedy, back-biting, splay-footed Brits are so wretched and miserable that we, even with the help of Holy Mother Church, are unable to help them. We will deport them to Wales and Scotland. There, they can live in steep, narrow valleys and do what they do best. Drink and complain."
Perpetually resentful, today's even unhappier and more miserable Celts, the backbone of every collective boobery in modern times, have never forgotten their loss. "They made us stop sacrificing our happiest and most well-adjusted children, kept us from burying cheerful people alive in the peat bogs, wouldn't allow our weekly orgies, and don't let us burn whole villages full of people in wicker statues. We must regain those ancient rights, and renew our former rites, so as to preserve what we will tell people is a 'civilization'."
So, the remaining Brits have joined with the more demonic forces of government, and are counter-attacking the Saxons, Angles, and Frisians from the fringes with a power far beyond their numbers. Dark-hearted, Celtic remnants from a Stone Age whose technology they could, with relative ease, grasp, are ever-angrier at the internal combustion and electronic devices they cannot fathom, so are claiming their independence from the people who have so successfully saved them from themselves for over a thousand years.
Allied with the perverse and hateful forces of government, the Celtic remnants are successfully looting the English people. Their final goal is to have them wiped out by their own government. As is their perpetual wont, they have asked for help from overseas.
Once again, bitter Brits have brought in the usual hordes of foreign invaders to help them destroy their enemies. The appearance of huge numbers of foreign, hostile throngs of bombers, arsonists, and homicidal maniacs in the Saxon areas manifests the Celts' latest insane scheme to regain control of their island.
Like Hengst and Horsa, these new invaders will soon refuse to leave, as well, but out of a desire to kill, rather than serve. The Brits don't care. "We just want them to exterminate the Anglo-Saxons. We want that so badly that we don't care if our new allies kill or enslave all the rest of us after they have eradicated the English."
Some of the English have tried to explain to the tiny handful of surviving Brits: "You miserable wretches have never been able to take care of yourselves. And, we treat you ever so much better than your new 'friends' will. You're better off letting us take care of things while you go have a drink and look knowingly at your precious trees."
The Brits reply: "We don't want to be taken care of. The Romans helped us, and we hated them. We only begged the Saxons to come and help us because we hated the Welsh, Scots, and Irish more. We want this latest horde to move in and destroy you horrid English people."
"And why is it that you hate us so?" an innocent Englishman may inquire.
"We have always hated our betters more than we love ourselves. It's the British way." they hiss through perpetual sneers.

The English are paying the price.
The dumbest thing the English people did was to get rid of the Catholic Church. God began to turn away from them. By WWI, He had allowed the English government to march an entire generation of its young men into enemy machine guns. The English government had become the most brutal destroyer its people had seen since the Romans reacted to Queen Boadicea by slaughtering countless numbers of her people.
Employees of the British government, afraid to give up their jobs, kept WWII food rationing in place until the 1950s. Other government agencies let a flood of unskilled immigrants into the country. The influx of cheap labor decimated the formation of English families. Professional meddlers preferred that England's working people were dependent on government programs rather than their ability to make an honest living.
At the same time, and for the same reasons, public education was made to decline. Now, with even more immigrants encouraged to come in to further destroy the remaining sane inhabitants of that de-sceptered isle, the smarter English are fleeing in droves.
God could, of course, help them drive out their government enemies. They have but to ask. They could ask Him for His aid most effectively by returning to, and bending the knee in, the Catholic Mass that was the center of their God-and-neighbor-loving religion for a thousand years.
They'd rather die.
And they will, hectored to death by the homicidal mediocrities who live only to lord it over them.

Governments' endless war.
New governments always say "We want to make things better." What they really want to do is lie to justify destroying their hated neighbors. Those who hate their neighbors quickly find that they can do the most damage to them from safe government jobs.
One prong of their attack is to identify selected occupations as "criminal". Then, they put those involved in such activities in jail and then take over those same functions. A few decades ago, we were all told that the evil "number runners" were helping the "numbers racket", which hurt and damaged the weakest people in our society.
The "criminals involved" were hunted down like mad dogs. They were jailed, their property was confiscated, and some are still in prison. As soon as the "numbers racket was cleaned up" (competition was eliminated), government agencies quickly got into the lottery business. "Rackets" became "gaming", and, as such, was exalted.
When Prohibition was repealed, several states began running their own liquor stores, providing high-paid jobs for well-connected hacks. Now that drugs are illegal, many public agencies provide various drug substitutes for addicts. Soon, drugs will be made obtainable in modern versions of government-run opium dens.

How long can looting last?
As soon as a government gets into power, it attracts people who lust to tax and regulate their neighbors. These neighbor-haters cost the society an ever-increasing amount of money. Only if production efficiencies can increase faster than the costs imposed by control freaks, can the society can be maintained.
Solomon's administration, for instance, was able to bring in as much or more money than his government spent. His son, Rehoboam, brought a whole new staff of taxers and regulators with him without any plans to increase efficiencies. So, he had to raise taxes. The Northern Tribes revolted, and the Kingdom centered in Jerusalem shrunk, never to fully recover the gains made in the previous generations of David and Solomon.
In democracies, each new administration must reward new taxers and regulators who helped elect them. At the same time, they must maintain the ever-vaster public sector costs that rewarded the supporters of previous administrations. For democracies to survive, productivity must increase or costs be lowered.
Currently, American manufacturers lower their costs by automation and by going overseas. Automation reduces the number of employees and increases the number of people clamoring for public-sector jobs. Going overseas reduces the country's solvency by shifting profits to foreign countries, causing startling shortfalls in the balance of payments, thereby cheapening the currency.
That increases taxes as public employees demand higher wages. Increased taxes make it harder for native businesses to automate or otherwise increase efficiencies. That accelerates the shifting of manufacturing overseas to places with cheaper labor. Then, the balance of payments grows worse, money loses value, and the cycle repeats.
The only thing that can keep a democracy from choking itself with a bloated public sector are the tiny percentage of people who can reduce production costs. When they are under-educated or dispirited, the democracy must be replaced with an autocrat. Naturally, the neighbor-haters do whatever they can to accelerate that process.

India
Much of India is at the same stage as England before the Romans came. Many Indian farmers still use wooden plows pulled by oxen. Landholdings are small, little larger than the fields outlined by stone walls, remnants of the Stone and Iron Ages, still visible in the British countryside.
Many Indians still make a living with primitive occupations. Wheelwrights continue to make wooden wheels. Farmers plant one seed at a time. One or two metal pots and pans are the only modern possessions of many families. Visiting India is, except for the railroads, like going to Britain or Ireland in the year One.
The rich prey upon the poor. Moneylenders end up with more and more land by forcing cash-starved farmers into pledging their assets and driving them into bankruptcy.
The hundreds of millions of people locked into early technologies and occupations make the modernization, centralization, and automation of India very difficult.
Many in each segment of Indian society are taught to hate and despise other divisions, rather than encouraged to love their neighbors. As a result, the peoples and castes have a harder time working together. They are more divided than were the separate Celtic tribes (to whom many are related) in early Europe.
Europe zoomed ahead because, after the first and second centuries, it moved toward a common religion that commanded both rich and poor to love their neighbors. Many obeyed. Their adoption of Catholicism was made easier by Caesar's earlier destruction and centralization of many small political entities.
That did not happen in India. The Apostle Thomas did go there after the Resurrection, assigned to tell the easternmost of Abraham's descendants about The Programmer, Program, and Holy Wireless Connector. But, intra-country hostility was too great to make much headway and no Caesar had combined the many kingdoms into one, which made the other Apostles' work easier to accomplish in the westerly mission fields.
The most modern sections of India's economy are involved with computers. As the Indian people make the leap from that unifying intellectual technology to understanding about The Programmer, Program, and Holy Wireless Connector, many more souls will know the joy of One God, one Heaven, and one Kingdom in this world and the next.

"News" is a direct result of bribes.
People have always used bribes to influence public opinion. Today, some of the wealthiest countries in the world have bribed their way to respectability.
We know bribery is taking place when countries that allow slaves to be bought, sold, and owned are not held up to the same standards as Western countries' ozone levels.
We know bribes are being paid when brutal practices like female circumcision are ignored but "equal opportunity for women" is a common theme.
Bribes focus populaces away from failures in public public programs and focus attention on the need for more spending. "News" will focus on the occasional child molester far more than the intentional "illiterification" of generations of schoolchildren.
We pay several times more for electricity because providers of wind, coal, gas, and oil generators make generous payments to keep people thinking that "nuclear power is dangerous".
The killing of women for reasons of "honor" is tolerated because those who could be outraged are bribed not to be.
The contents of "News" papers, magazines, and broadcasts are mostly placed by the generous payment of bribes.
Understanding the existence and use of bribes is important. We must learn to watch for their effect. One way is to ask ourselves, "Who would have paid for that?" every time we watch the news. That discipline will show us a great deal about the way the lower world works.
