The door to hell stands open, day and night.
But to retrace one's steps, to return once more
to the pure clean air, and cheerfulness and life:
That is the task, that is our true labour."
Vergil, Aeneid
"To whom can I give warning?
Who will listen when I speak?
Their ears are closed,
and they cannot hear.
They scorn the word of the Lord.
They don’t want to listen at all.
From the least to the greatest,
their lives are ruled by greed.
From prophets to priests,
they are all frauds.
They offer superficial treatments
for my people’s mortal wound.
They give assurances of peace
when there is no peace.
Are they ashamed of their disgusting actions?
Not at all—they don’t even know how to blush.
Therefore, they will lie among the slaughtered.
They will be brought down when I punish them, says the Lord."
Jeremiah 6:10-11,13-16
"And I saw a white horse, its rider having a bow, and there was given to him a crown, and he went forth overcoming not in righteousness, but that he may conquer."
Revelation 6:2
Stocks traded weakly ahead of the Non-Farm Payrolls tomorrow, and a weekend of escalating conflicts.
Gold and silver were hit early and hard with selling, but managed to climb back and regain their levels.
VIX is just swinging in the wind.
This might be an interesting weekend.
The servants of Moloch stalk the land, spreading darkness and lawlessness.
I almost cannot believe the things that I am seeing.
So many have closed their ears and eyes, and remain blithely trusting, seduced by the voices of madness, unprepared.
Have a pleasant evening.
