Revisiting Evolution

Many people feel comfortable today not believing in God because they feel that the great complexity evident in the world can simply be explained by Darwinian evolution theory.  But does it really make sense?  Does this even pass the smell test, or is this sort of a 19th-century fable that has been desperately kept alive by a group of biologists that we’re just supposed to trust with blind faith?

No analogy is perfect, but let’s consider one that should at least get the gears turning a bit.

The theory of evolution by Darwin posits that organisms can form into new species (“speciation”) even of greater complexity through two independent processes:  random mutation and natural selection.  Mutation can occur from radiation or copying errors during cell replication, etc.  And natural selection covers the idea that a mutation that is beneficial to the organism is likely to be retained and one that is detrimental is likely to be rejected.

Now there’s a lot of hand-waving here.  First, since mutations are more often detrimental than beneficial to the organism, every mutation is not going to promote evolution.  Second, it’s not shown how natural selection keeps positive mutations at a higher frequency than it fails to reject negative ones.  (In other words, since mutations tend to be detrimental more often than beneficial, one would expect, over time, an accumulative effect that shows genetic entropy rather than evolution.)

But consider a simple analogy.  Let’s say we have a blank hard disk.  Information is stored on the disk, at the lowest level, as 0s and 1s.  Zero represents no magnetism on the medium, and 1 represents some magnetism.  These bit states can be unintentionally modified through electromagnetic radiation.  The hard disk has a piece of software called firmware installed on a chip, which has algorithms that assist in reading and writing from the disk and correcting data errors.  Let us say, for the sake of argument, that the firmware on the drive has a program that simulates natural selection:  it can detect bit-level changes that are beneficial for the overall system and keep those, while throwing out those changes that are bad.

My question is:  how long would it take — just by changes in electromagnetic radiation — to go from a blank hard drive to a fully-functional Windows 10 system?  How much time would it take to develop that level of complexity just from random mutations to the 0s and 1s?

If that seems like an unfair question, then let’s start with a hard drive that has Windows for Workgroups 3.11 already installed.  How many years of random radiation effects and copy errors would it take to evolve into Windows 10?

An evolutionary biologist would just answer, “Ohh with a trillion years it’s possible!”  But to be honest, I don’t think it could ever happen.  It just doesn’t make sense.

People are biased to believe in evolution because they see progress all about them and project that onto biology.  We used to have rotary phones, now we have smartphones — evolution!  We used to have aqueducts and now we have indoor plumbing — see, evolution!  But moving from a rotary phone to a smartphone didn’t happen simply through random mutations, it was an application of human intelligence that caused the progress and the increase in complexity is explained by intelligence.

(And for the record, a single human cell is significantly more complex than even a smartphone.  In fact, just a single human cell has more information than the entire Windows 10 source code, if converted to a computer storage measurement.  The complexity of a human cell was something completely unknown in Darwin’s time.)

What do you think, does it make sense?  Going from a fish to a human is a far greater increase in complexity than going from Windows 3.11 to Windows 10.  And I can tell you that anyone who thinks the latter is possible simply does not understand how source code works.  So what does it say about a biologist who believes the former is possible?

 

Why Still Be Catholic?

A question I see out there a lot on the Internet forums is why would anybody still be Catholic considering the absolutely horrible and embarrassing state of the Church these days.  It must be said, that without a doubt it is a heavy cross to be a good Catholic today: one can’t help but to have a sorrowful heart.  The mess is so bad — and most people have only seen the tip of the iceberg, believe me — that sometimes you wonder if maybe we’re in the End Times.  There is no doubt that the enemy is embedded deep within and high up.

But let’s consider first, what is the cause of this great humiliation we now suffer?

The root of the issue is the pride that is within the members of the Church, which, while latent for a couple of centuries, finally exploded out into the open in the post-War period.  This pride is manifest in a few ways.  Popes, bishops and theologians began to entertain their own speculations rather than submitting themselves to the traditions of the Church.  More and more, the lay Catholics didn’t want to submit to God’s law.  And worse, we threw out the way that God provided for us to worship Him through the Mass handed down to us.  Instead, a handful of bishops went into a room and came up with a “New Mass”:  a greatly desacralized and banal version said in the vernacular.  “We’ll come up with a Mass that WE like.  We’re not going to accept what God has given to us down through the centuries.”  It is just plain simple PRIDE.

Now we all have to know and accept our place.  If we’re not going to humble ourselves and receive what is given to us, rather than trying to make up our own way, then it’s just natural that God is going to have to humiliate us to purify us of our pride.  And the humiliation is going to get worse and deeper until we finally humble ourselves and remember that God is God and we are not.

And the same exact thing is happening to our nations.  Look at how the hordes of third-worlders are coming into our countries, going on welfare and showing no appreciation, taking our women for their own, committing crimes with impunity — and we seem powerless to stop it.  It is a great humiliation.  And it’s for the same reason:  we got prideful.  We forgot God.  We thought we could do it all alone.  And now He’s going to humiliate us until we come to our senses and return to reality and re-learn our place.

So to the question of why I am still a Catholic despite the circumstances, I can provide a short answer:

If Our Lord was willing to suffer the greatest humiliation — of the scourging, being spat on, being mocked and crucified — all for me, and He didn’t walk away… then how can I?  For surely the servant isn’t greater than the Master?

Programming the Mind

One of the most effective tools of social engineering in the last half-century has been the television. I believe it even rivals the education system in terms of the level of impact: it’s far broader, inter-generational, and more degenerate.

John Watson was a 20th century psychologist who understood how the power of association could elicit desired behaviors. He moved into the advertising industry and showed himself to be quite successful. We read from Wikipedia:

An example of Watson’s use of testimonials was with the campaign he developed for Pebeco toothpaste. The ad featured a seductively dressed woman, and coaxed women to smoke, as long as they used Pebeco toothpaste. The toothpaste was not a means to benefit health or hygiene, but as a way to heighten the sexual attraction of the consumer. They were not only buying toothpaste, they were purchasing sex appeal.

Since the time of John Watson, the advertising industry has become more sophisticated (and knowledgeable) in its approach to manipulating a person’s behavior.  Unless one is looking for it, he is unlikely to see much of the subliminal messaging — often unrelated to the advertised product — but the individual will accept it into his subconscious for no other reason than just the frequency of receiving the message.  When the advertising industry is composed of agencies that are not simply eager for profit, but also to push a certain agenda (“social engineering”), people need to be on guard.

Consider the following group of commercials and ask yourself, “Do I see a similar pattern when I watch TV?”

The above commercials are designed to be received differently depending on the viewer. For white men, they are to see themselves as being in the role of the lesser. For blacks, they are to see themselves as living the role of the greater. Both groups see the other group according to the script.

The programming is quite different from reality, but with enough consistency, one might be apt to believe the fantasy on TV over reality. The truth is, whites disproportionately make up the working and tax-paying class. The average IQ of whites is a full standard deviation higher than the average IQ of blacks (in the US). The inter-racial crime rate is overwhelmingly disproportionately black on white.

I don’t think it’s inaccurate to say that in the modern world the culture and moral norms are almost completely dictated now using the mechanisms of television, movies, music, etc. And that’s a real danger because the people who run these industries are not moral people. In ancient European times, morals were guided mostly by custom and the wisdom of elders. After the establishment of Christendom, morality and culture followed the dictates of the Church, through the Word of God, the application of God’s moral law and the practice of the Holy Faith. That’s all gone now.  But can we really build a high, noble culture on just Doritos and football?

According to a Nielsen report cited by Wikipedia, “United States adults are watching five hours and four minutes of television per day on average.”  Five hours.  PER.  DAY.

The concern I see is that this opens up a susceptibility to having one’s mind and focus formed towards an end that is contrary to both the truth and what God desires of us.  (And this is just a diplomatic way of saying that we need to be aware of the agendas — some perhaps very evil — that are pushed through this medium.)  I wonder how much time the average person spends in prayer every day?  If we don’t spend the time to pray, to read God’s Word, to learn about the Faith, to learn about the great saints of history, how will our minds be formed and centered on what’s truly important?  And without that knowledge, how can we inoculate ourselves against this evil programming?

After all, the television will pass way, but eternity is forever.

 

Israeli-Occupied Territory

Israel is a quasi-apartheid ethnostate. In some sense, there’s nothing really wrong with that. That’s exactly how the United States was founded. It’s in the Constitution. Many Arabs (Palestinians) live in occupied territory and can not vote in elections. Jews don’t want this because if the Arabs could vote, they could, because of their size, overwhelm the vote and gain control of the country.

I understand completely.

But why can’t Americans have the same courtesy? If Americans want to restrict immigration because it’s fundamentally changing the character of the nation and resulting in voting patterns that are against the interests of the people, this is swiftly denounced 424-1 as “white nationalism”.

How come Israel is allowed to be an ethnostate but the US isn’t? Why aren’t Belgium and Ireland and Sweden and all the other European countries allowed to be ethnostates? We are told that these countries must not be racist and must open their borders and accept the entire world.

Why is apartheid okay in Israel but not in South Africa? Look at what has happened in South Africa: the people who founded the country are now being driven right out of it.

It really makes you wonder who owns the US Congress.

Generational Divides

One of the things you notice about the past 80 years is just how radically the United States has changed.  Not just in terms of technology and political perspectives, but especially demographics.  For that reason, some of us can not easily relate, through our own experience, to the mindset of the youngest generations.  They’ve grown up under a completely different environment.

This is especially true for us older conservatives, but you also see it with some of the older Democrats that are being ejected from power in favor of the likes of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Paul Ramsey explains the dynamic very well:

And to give some more insight on the type of environment white kids are growing up in today, we can see an example in today’s controversy from Esquire magazine, where the periodical was criticized for publishing an article that was insufficiently hateful of white men:

Whites Need to Organize

People are so distraught with the state of their government that they’re wondering if civil war is inevitable.  And it might be.  But before such a drastic step is taken, all peaceful means must first be exhausted.  And there are still a couple of peaceful avenues that remain.  But they require that we put aside our divisions and get organized and take action in an organized fashion.

In his State of the Union address, President Trump devoted 20 minutes to talk about the supposed anti-semitism problem that’s roiling the country.  Other than some hoaxes here and there, there is generally not a problem that I see.  In fact, Jews enjoy some of the greatest privileges in the country, all while using the media bullhorn to grind their axes against whites.  Their privilege is so great that they can’t even be criticized.

On the other hand, I heard that Trump devoted exactly 0 minutes talking about the widespread epidemic of anti-white racism and hatred that has taken ahold of practically every major institution — not just in America, but worldwide.

Trump bragged about the record-low unemployment for African Americans and Hispanics.

Consider that 90% of Jews and 90% of African Americans voted against Trump, and 75% of Hispanics voted against Trump.  The only demographic bloc that delivered Trump his victory is the very one he routinely ignores:  whites.  Whites are also the group that refuse to stick together to protect their own interests.  Blacks and Jews always vote with their tribe, and they almost always defend their own.  As the saying goes, “My tribe, right or wrong.”

White interests have been pushed out of positions of power in the media, in the universities, in the entertainment industry, and even in politics.  Could you imagine if whites tried to create a lobby as powerful as AIPAC?  It would simply never even be allowed.  The only remaining clout that whites have is also the biggest:  they make the broadest part of the working and tax-paying population.  (However, “the powers that be” are working hard, as we speak, to remove even that last remaining bit of power — by displacing white Americans from their jobs with “legal” immigrants.)

If the working class would organize a large-scale work and / or tax strike, things would change in a hurry.  First of all, blacks love to target whites as their oppressors and as the sole source of their misery.  If whites stopped paying taxes today, the food stamps would end tomorrow.  Then we can finally see some damn appreciation for our labors.  If whites stopped working today, the markets would collapse, the banking industry would freeze up, and your flush toilets would stop working.  If whites would organize and put aside their stupid differences and begin to make serious threats of work stoppages, we could regain control of the system.

Look at what the Yellow Vests are doing in France.  That kind of organization is necessary to be noticed.

 

Sit in the Back of the Bus

Anytime you hear talk of Democrats and Republicans coming together with a bipartisan bill, you can be sure of one thing: Americans are about to get hosed.

The pro-mass immigration Koch brothers’ network of billionaire, donor class organizations is backing a Republican-Democrat coalition that would allow for the swift outsourcing of middle-class American jobs to mostly Indian nationals.

A plan known as the Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act introduced in the Senate by Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), as well as Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) and Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO), would eliminate the U.S. country caps in the legal immigration system that would fast track outsourcing of white-collar American jobs to mostly Indian and Chinese nationals imported to the country by businesses, outsourcing firms, and multinational corporations.

Translation:  Jobs that tend to be most affected by Indian recipients of H-1B visas are about to get hit even harder with this new bill.  Aren’t you glad that Congress is busy at work making your employment prospects as limited as possible?  And you thought they weren’t doing anything?  As if it wasn’t enough of a crime to hollow our the lower- and middle-income families by bringing in labor from south of the border, they want to eliminate Americans’ opportunity for higher-paying, white-collar jobs as well.

Is it no wonder that young people are so rapidly turning to socialism?  They are living a system that simply does not work for them.  They drop $100,000 for a college degree and the best they can do is make ten bucks an hour as a barista at Starbucks.  If you’re a millennial or Gen Z, you can forget about having a family these days or owning a nice home.  And all of this because the billionaire Koch brothers aren’t happy enough with their billions so they have to bribe the traitors in Congress to depress wages even more.  We graduate more Computer Science students every year than we have new job openings.  So why do we need to bring in these people from India?  It’s a simple equation:  they want to lay off their existing employees and replace them with cheaper labor simply so they can clear more profit.  They do not care about their fellow Americans.  There is no way you can have this kind of economic stratification that we see today without socialism taking roots in people’s hearts.  Consider this:  if these billionaires are destroying America by eliminating job opportunities for Americans, why shouldn’t Americans seek to destroy them right back?

In his State of the Union speech, President Trump said that “America will never be a socialist country.”  He also said, “I want people to come into our country in the largest numbers ever, but they have to come in legally.”  These two statements are a contradiction.  If President Trump does not build that wall and remove those here illegally and END legal immigration, America WILL BE a socialist country in less than a decade.  It is inevitable.  Because, for one, everybody that comes up from Central and South America ARE socialists.  And they don’t change their world philosophy just because they walk on United States dirt.  And two, because the more that you replace Americans’ job prospects with opportunities for “legal immigrants” — just to please the billionaire Koch brothers and the Chamber of Commerce lobbyists — the more you move these kids to demand socialism simply as a means of survival.  Those inclined to the political left will go to communist socialism.  Those inclined to the right will demand national socialism.

Recall a simple fact:  Americans do not want this bill.  They have never voted for this immigration system.  By a large margin they want immigration restrictions.  So how’s that democracy working out for us?

Playing to Win

For the sake of argument, let’s say two teams participate in a certain sport and play for a championship.  A wealthy person wants to own a team and win a championship.  What would he do?  He could buy a team and try to get the best players and hope that his team, eventually, wins the championship.  Or he can just be smart and buy both teams and be done with it.

Inherent in contemporary American politics is a global power unmatched by any other nation.  In that sense, politics can be more of a tool rather than merely an exercise of ideology.  For those who recognize and want to capture that power — to exercise it for their own ends — the divisions of left vs. right or Democrat vs. Republican are not important.  These divisions are only useful in the sense that they keep the American population divided upon itself, constantly arguing and distracted in prolonged, almost meaningless election battles.  The real powerful are way above the fray… they transcend the democratic process.  They don’t care about ideology.  They care about their own interests.  They can, simply, own both Democrats and Republicans to force their intended goals.

As an example, I present Jacob Wohl, who has magically popped onto the Twitter scene as some kind of right-leaning political talking head in the Trump era.  By some amazing feat he has managed to accumulate 182,000 followers.  In his profile he describes himself as a conservative, Trump supporter, and Zionist.

Let’s take a look at this tweet:

For those who aren’t familiar with the term, the “Greater Israel Plan” is basically a newer formulation of the Yinon Plan, which includes an idea that envisions Israel dramatically expanding its land area in the Middle East, as pictured in the following graphic:

Now how can this task be accomplished?  Well, for one, you will need to destabilize nations in the region by overthrowing their powerful governors — e.g., in Iraq and Syria — and watch as the national governments fall to pieces, allowing the total anarchy of disparate terrorist groups to reign.  You would also want to de-populate these countries through massive migration into, let’s say, Europe.

Does it sound ridiculous?  Well consider this video where Gen. Wesley Clark details a conversation he had after the September 11th attacks:

Consider also that the US Senate just voted by a large margin to force the President to keep troops in Syria and Afghanistan.  This Senate, which can not figure out how to fix the health care affordability problems in this country, despite the strong desire of the American public, and which can not come together and agree on how to fix our disastrous immigration problems, again, despite the strong desire of the American public, can somehow, surprisingly, come together and agree on that very thing that Americans have said repeatedly that they DO NOT want:  our continued military action in the Middle East.  Why?  We’re an energy-independent nation now.  What is the point?  And now we hear more and more saber-rattling about regime change in Iran.  Doesn’t Iran have every reason to want to build a strong military defense? Why is the US Congress so resistant to giving Americans what they want in this area?

Fast-forward to today where kooky Rep. Ilhan Omar managed to say something accurate for a change, and was scolded for it.  She simply acknowledged that AIPAC — the Israeli lobbying group — has far too much power in Congress.  She was chided for showing a strain of “anti-Semitism” and was forced to apologize.  But the question we should ask is:  why do we tolerate ANY foreign country lobbying our elected officials?  Would we allow Japan or Spain or China to have an open and powerful lobbying group in Washington directing our foreign policy? And what policy is AIPAC “buying” with their money?  They say that it’s okay because Israel is our “Greatest Ally”.  Israel did not have a single boot on the ground in Afghanistan or Iraq.  Even the Netherlands and Australia had soldiers dying in Iraq.  Israel sent nobody to help.  That’s an ally?

So back to politics.  Isn’t it obvious that certain people are pushed on both the “left” and the “right” to gain trust from us average folks, but then guide us to… well… to put Israel first, of course!  I mean, if both sides accept it, and there’s no disagreement… it must be right!

Just what the hell is going on here?

Prediction: unless President Trump can keep Jared and his goons away, our military will not be withdrawing from the Middle East. And we could very well be seeing “regime change” in Iran in the future.

Europe: Get ready for more refugees.

We’re on Our Own Out Here

“The floor of hell is paved with the skulls of bishops.”  So said St. Athanasius in the fourth century.

If he could only see us now.

Consider the following statement released by the US Conference of Catholic Bishops in response to the execution of Domineque Ray:

The execution of Domineque Ray deeply troubles us. The death penalty itself is an affront to human dignity, and the Church has long called for its abolition in the United States and around the world. Mr. Ray bore the further indignity of being refused spiritual care in his last moments of life, in violation of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and Alabama law. This unjust treatment is disturbing to people of all faiths, whether Muslim, Christian, Jewish, or otherwise. People deserve to be accompanied in death by someone who shares their faith. It is especially important that we respect this right for religious minorities. As Pope Francis said during his recent trip to the United Arab Emirates, ‘What we are called to do as believers is to commit ourselves to the equal dignity of all.’ Let us make this commitment today.

How is it possible to fit so much effeminacy and heresy into such a short passage?  Try as we might, only a US bishop can excel at such an achievement.

Before we correct this obnoxious drivel, it must be said that one of the co-authors of this statement is Archbishop Joseph Kurtz of Louisville, KY, who was quick to put out a statement criticizing the Covington Catholic high school kids for smirking in the direction of a “native elder”, calling it a “shameful act of disrespect”.

The first problem with the statement is that it brings undue sympathy to the executed.  Nowhere is there a consideration for the actual victims of his crimes:  Tiffany Harville was raped and murdered by having a knife jabbed into her brain and her throat slit.  Two other boys, Reinhard and Ernest Mabins, were also killed by Ray a year earlier.  To talk about the “indignity” that Ray supposedly suffered by not having an iman at his side while not even mentioning the victims is just pathetic.

Second, can you imagine a Catholic bishop talking about some “right” to have a minister of a false religion at one’s death bed?  Only a priest can bring a penitent soul back to God at death.  There used to be bishops who would lose their heads for steadfastly upholding the one, true faith.

And finally, we have to address this completely false argument — now so often repeated — that the Catholic Church is “against” the death penalty.  There may be some people in the Catholic episcopacy today who don’t accept the death penalty, but that’s not God’s law, as espoused by the tradition of the Church.

I copy the following quotes that were put together by Ann Barnhardt for your consideration, and judge for yourselves who to believe.

St. Augustine
The same divine authority that forbids the killing of a human being establishes certain exceptions, as when God authorizes killing by a general law or when He gives an explicit commission to an individual for a limited time.

The agent who executes the killing does not commit homicide; he is an instrument as is the sword with which he cuts. Therefore, it is in no way contrary to the commandment, ‘Thou shalt not kill’ to wage war at God’s bidding, or for the representatives of public authority to put criminals to death, according to the law, that is, the will of the most just reason.

St. Thomas Aquinas
Every part is directed to the whole, as imperfect to perfect, wherefore every part exists naturally for the sake of the whole. For this reason we see that if the health of the whole human body demands the excision of a member, because it became putrid or infectious to the other members, it would be both praiseworthy and healthful to have it cut away. Now every individual person is related to the entire society as a part to the whole. Therefore if a man be dangerous and infectious to the community, on account of some sin, it is praiseworthy and healthful that he be killed in order to safeguard the common good, since “a little leaven corrupteth the whole lump” (1 Cor. 5:6).

The fact that the evil ones, as long as they live, can be corrected from their errors does not prohibit that they may be justly executed, for the danger which threatens from their way of life is greater and more certain than the good which may be expected from their improvement.

They also have at that critical point of death the opportunity to be converted to God through repentance. And if they are so obstinate that even at the point of death their heart does not draw back from malice, it is possible to make a quite probable judgment that they would never come away from evil.

…a secondary measure of the love of God may be said to appear, for capital punishment provides the murderer with incentive to repentance which the ordinary man does not have, that is a definite date on which he is to meet his God. …the law grants to the condemned an opportunity which he did not grant to his victim, the opportunity to prepare to meet his God. Even divine justice here may be said to be tempered with mercy.

St. Alphonsus Liguori
It is lawful to put a man to death by public authority: it is even a duty of princes and of judges to condemn to death criminals who deserve it; and it is the duty of the officers of justice to execute the sentence; God Himself wishes malefactors to be punished.

Thomas Aquinas laid the groundwork for our modern Western ethics and theology.  He is one of the true greats of Christendom.  Do these bishops and popes really put themselves above St. Thomas and St. Alphonsus?  Who do they think they are?

Folks, no bishop or pope is going to save us, that seems for sure.  We are on our own out here to restore our traditions and take back our religion.  God will send us good shepherds in due time.

 

Clown World Has Arrived

No wonder knife crime is out of control in the UK. The police are too busy patrolling Twitter for speech crimes:

A mother was arrested in front of her children and locked up for seven hours after referring to a transgender woman as a man online.

Three officers detained Kate Scottow at her home before quizzing her at a police station about an argument with an activist on Twitter over so-called ‘deadnaming’.

The 38-year-old, from Hitchin, Hertfordshire, had her photograph, DNA and fingerprints taken and remains under investigation.

More than two months after her arrest on December 1, she has had neither her mobile phone or laptop returned, which she says is hampering her studies for a Masters in forensic psychology.

What do you think?  Is today’s West the most unserious, degenerate generation in human history?  Our ancestors would kill us if they ever found out what we’ve become.

Confirming the arrest, Hertfordshire Police said: ‘We take all reports of malicious communication seriously.’

The case is the latest where police have been accused of being heavy-handed in dealing with people who go online to debate gender issues.

Sitcom writer Graham Linehan was given a verbal harassment warning by West Yorkshire Police after transgender activist Stephanie Hayden reported him for referring to her by her previous names and pronouns on Twitter.

Holy shit are we in the End Times?  They have a Muslim horde coming in and knifing kids in the streets and they’re worried about people using the wrong pronouns on Twitter?

How long are people going to allow themselves to be so humiliated by the mentally ill until they finally overthrow these obviously illegitimate governments?

And where the hell is the Queen?
