"You who make wicked judgements, who write oppressive laws to deprive the needy of justice, and to rob the poor of their rights, that widows may be your victims, and that you may make the orphans your prey— what will you do on the day of reckoning, when the consequences come from afar? To whom will you run for protection, and where will you hide your riches?"
Isaiah 10:1-3
"The impotence one feels today—an impotence we should never consider permanent—does not excuse one from remaining true to one’s self, nor does it excuse capitulation to the enemy, whatever mask he may wear.
Whether the mask is labelled Fascism, Democracy, or Dictatorship of the Proletariat, our great adversary remains The Apparatus—the bureaucracy, the police, the military. Not the one facing us across the frontier or the battle-lines, which is not so much our enemy as our brothers’ enemy, but the one that calls itself our protector and makes us its slaves.
No matter the circumstances, the worst betrayal will always be to subordinate ourselves to this Apparatus, and to trample underfoot, in its service, all humanity in ourselves and in others.”
Simone Weil, Reflections on War, February 1945
"They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good. They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. They will act religious, but they will refuse the grace that could make them righteous."
2 Timothy 3:3-5
"For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be."
Matthew 6:21
God is not going to ask us, when we stand before him in judgement, 'whom do you serve, whom do you love?'
He is asking us this now, and every day we answer — with what we say, and what we do.
Whom do you love? Whom do you serve?
Stocks managed to rally today, most likely in a Potemkin tribute to Donnie's address to the nation this evening.
There is a need to distract the true believers from l'affaire Epstein.
We need such exorbitant decorations and embellishments. Because the reality is too awful to sustain the illusion.
The rallies in gold and silver were pressed back.
The Dollar ticked up in late hours of trading.
There will be a stock option expiration this Friday.
Bread and circuses.
And no one could see it coming.
Can you see what is coming for you? Or is it easier to become a beast to avoid the struggle of being a man?
All the finest people are doing it. Worshiping the Beast. It's the fashionable thing to do.
Have a pleasant evening.
