ST. JANUARIUS
Psalm 56, Verse 12
In God I trust, I do not FEAR.
What can man do to me?
Beset
physically and psychologically, the psalmist maintains a firm confidence in
God. Nothing will prevent the psalmist from keeping the vow to give thanks for God’s
gift of life.[1]
The CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) was founded to
wage psychological warfare against the enemies of the United States.
Psychological Warfare and the New World Order[2]
America
is at war. But this not a conventional war waged with tanks, battleships and
planes in conventional battlefields —at least not yet. It is a secret,
insidious type of war whose battleground is the people’s minds. Its main
weapons are propaganda and mass brainwashing by disinformation, cunning,
deception and lies in a large scale not used against the people of any nation
since Nazi Germany.
Though important, however, those elements are
just part of a series of carefully planned and executed long and short-term
psychological warfare operations. In synthesis, it is a psychological war —a
PSYWAR.
If an
unfriendly foreign power had carried out against the American people the
actions carried out by Wall Street bankers, Oil magnates and CEOs of
transnational corporations entrenched at the Council on Foreign Relations and
its parasite organizations, we might well have considered it an act of war.
Unfortunately,
most Americans ignore that they are under attack. The reason is because, like
Ninja assassins, the main weapon used by the conspirators who have managed to
infiltrate and take control of the U.S. Government and most of American life
has been their invisibility. For almost a century, these small groups of
conspirators have been waging a quiet, non-declared war of attrition against
the American people, and it seems that they are now ready for the final,
decisive battle. Unfortunately, as the last two presidential elections showed,
the brainwashed American people reacted by changing the puppets, leaving the
puppet masters untouched and in control.
Psychological Warfare in Post-Christianity[3]
In the 1954 book Psychological Warfare
Paul Linebarger outlines the war for the mind and soul of mankind. Linebarger
describes some of the special characteristics of ideological warfare, namely
that the enemy must not only be
defeated, but converted. He points to the wars of Islamic conquest to define
two main techniques:
1.
First,
conversion by force. “A people can be converted from one faith to the other if
given the choice between conversion and extermination, stubborn individuals
being rooted out. To effect the initial conversion, participation in the public
ceremonies and formal language of the new faith must be required. Sustained counterintelligence must remain on the alert against
backsliders, but formal acceptance will become genuine acceptance if all public
media of expression are denied the vanquished faith.”
2. The second solution, though slower,
leads to the same outcome: the consignment of the old faith to the private
sphere:
“If immediate wholesale conversion
would require military operations that were too extensive or severe, the same
result can be affected by toleration of the objectionable faith, combined with
the issuance of genuine privileges to the new, preferred faith. The conquered
people are left in the private, humble enjoyment of their old beliefs and
folkways; but all participation in public life, whether political, cultural, or
economic, is conditioned on acceptance of the new faith. In this manner, all
up-rising members of the society will move in a few generations over to the new
faith in the process of becoming rich, powerful, or learned; what is left of
the old faith will be a gutter superstition, possessing neither power nor
majesty.”
“These two rules worked once in the rise of Islam. They were applied again by Nazi overlords during World
War II, the former in Poland, the Ukraine and Byelorussia, the latter in
Holland, Belgium, Norway and other Western countries. The rules will probably
be seen in action again. The former process is difficult and bloody, but quick;
the latter is as sure as a steamroller.
If Christians, or democrats, or
progressives — whatever free men may be called — are put in a position of
underprivilege and shame for their beliefs, and if the door is left open to
voluntary conversion, so that anyone who wants to can come over to the winning
side, the winning side will sooner or later convert almost everyone who is
capable of making trouble. (In the language of Vilfredo Pareto, this would
probably be termed “capture of the rising elite”; in the language of present
day Marxists, this would be described as “utilization of potential leadership
cadres from historically superseded classes”; the language of practical
politics, it means “cut in the smart boys from the opposition, so that they
can’t set up a racket of their own.”)
When I give talks on The
Benedict Option, people often ask me to explain why I am so dark
about the future for orthodox Christians in the West. The idea of persecution
seems far-fetched and paranoid to them. I tell them that I too consider
persecution unlikely in the near term, at least. In the book, I quote the
then-abbot of the Norcia monastery as saying that faithful orthodox (that is to
say, traditionalist) Christians who don’t do something like the Benedict Option
aren’t going to make it through what’s to come. Maybe he meant persecution, but
I think it more likely he was talking about this phenomenon Linebarger
describes. That’s what I think is far more likely to happen than any
direct persecution. But the result will be the same: the widespread loss
of the Christian faith. The reader who sent that to me says he “keeps
[my] Christian identity quiet among [my] educated peers, for
precisely the reasons of social disgrace and heresy implied above.” If you,
your family, and your church are not preparing for resisting this, you are
going to be steamrolled. You don’t have forever to decide, either.
On September 19, 1846, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to Maximin Giraud and Melanie Calvat on the mountain of La Salette, France. After thorough investigation the Catholic Church gave approval to the message and secret of La Salette as written by Melanie. The account was published in Lecce on November 15, 1879 with the imprimatur of Bishop Zola of Lecce. Mary's message was much the same as at Fatima, "If my people do not wish to submit themselves, I am forced to let go of the hand of my Son. It is so heavy and weighs me down so much I can no longer keep hold of it." She lamented with tears those who do not keep Sunday holy and who take the name of the Lord in vain. She indicated that if men did not stop offending Our Lord the potato crop would fail. She gave Maximin his secret which he never revealed. She then turned to Melanie and gave her a secret which Melanie revealed 30 years later only to the Holy Father, who gave orders that it was never to be revealed.
Saint Raphael is one of the three
archangels mentioned in the bible in the book of Tobit. He is the angel of
peace, health and joy. We should call upon his help in conquering the devils
influence and overcoming the flesh. He is the angel sent by God to guide and
guard, to heal and save. He is forever watchful, and tender and helpful along
with our own guardian angel. When tempted call upon the help of Saint Raphael;
he is more powerful than a ninja turtle.
On 3 August 1992 during
the morning prayers I received the following message from the Holy Angel
Raphael. The Holy Raphael spoke:
"Coming in the Name of my Lord and Master Jesus Christ, to bring you
the following message destined for all the youth of the earth.
I bring a special blessing from my Lord and Master, the Lord Jesus
Christ. His love goes out to them and all who are true to Him. He calls all
youth to unite into a large army at the helm my Master, the Lord Jesus Christ
and his beloved mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary, who together will lead them to
victory.
Therefore, everyone who joins this army shall carry with them a medallion,
with on one side hereof the image of my Lord and Master, dressed as King, with
in his left hand the sceptre and in the other hand the staff with the cross.
Thereby the following writing: “Christus Vincit, Christus regnat, Christus
imperat.” On the other side thereof must be the image of the mother of my
Master, with on her arm my Master, depicted as a child. In the hand of my
Master is the globe with above that the cross and the hand of the Blessed
Virgin. Hereby the three titles that belong to her: “Queen of Peace, Queen of
the Universe and Queen, Our Lady of All Peoples.”
This is your assignment: let these shields or medallions be made
according to the description given above. After that these shields or medals
must be blessed by a God-anointed. Spread them over all the earth. Of everyone
who joins this army, the following is expected: with conviction of faith, pray
the rosary every day and carry this rosary always with you. Attached to this
rosary shall be the above described shield or medallion, so that everyone knows
that my Master, the Lord Jesus Christ and his mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary
stand behind them and protect them.
All who wish, can join this army under the same conditions, so that they
can form a mighty army together with the youth, and so call a halt to the
needless slaughter of the unborn children in the mother’s womb. They shall
avoid the places where sin is openly committed against purity, and also
occasions were Satanic music plays to
please their ears, because in this way is the message spread of hatred and
loveless behavior. They shall divert their eyes from all immoral depictions of
the human body. All of you, join, and so stop the evil in this world.
Place this message for affirmation before the supreme shepherd of the
Church of my Lord and Master, Jesus Christ, so that he can give his blessing to
this task. Urge also your near relatives to give their full support in
fulfilling this task.
Pax Domini sit semper vobiscum.”
Ember Saturday of September-Commemoration of Yom Kippur and the Feast of Tabernacles (both of which occur in the Jewish calendar around this time), two important foreshadowing’s of the Christ event.[5] The church reminds us of the profound importance of total conversion.
St. Januarius[6]
Little is known about St. Januarius. He was Bishop of Benevento in Campania. He died near Naples, about the year 305, martyred under the persecution of Emperor Diocletian. Around the year 400 the relics of St. Januarius were moved to Naples, which honors Januarius as a patron saint. He supposedly protected Naples from a threatened eruption of the volcano Mt. Vesuvius. The "miracle of Januarius" has world-wide fame. At least three times a year—on his feast day, December 16 and the first Sunday of May—the sealed vial with congealed blood of the saint liquifies, froths and bubbles up. This miraculous event has occurred every year, with rare exceptions. Popular tradition holds that the liquefaction is a sign that the year will be preserved from disasters. (In 1939, the beginning of World War II, the blood did not bubble up.)
