Nightfall, Reconsidered

It never occurred to me that the people who periodically massacred the scientists in Isaac Asimov’s famous short story, “Nightfall”, were actually the good guys.

Researchers at Boston University have created a new strain of Covid-19 that has an 80% kill rate in humanized mice.

Their names should be posted somewhere, publicly and prominently, in the event that their creation ever “escapes the laboratory”. The Mandarins may well have been onto something when they forcibly shut down technological development in China.

Gatekeepers

A little doggerel inspired by AC’s observation that many, if not most, of the self-appointed “opinion leaders” of the Right are faker and gayer than a transman at a lesbian bar in San Francisco.

No matter what they do,
No matter what they say,
All of it is building cred
To lead the weak astray.

No matter what they swear,
No matter how they bark,
All of it is gatekeeping
To leave you in the dark.

No matter what they vow,
No matter how they’re based,
All of it is fake and gay
To keep your trust misplaced.

And when they turn upon you
To denounce your tawdry tone,
It’s just an act designed to make
You think that you’re alone.

On a related note, I can affirm, state, and confirm that I am not in the club and I do not have an official 302, or a 302 of any kind. Non serviam.

The Memes Must Flow

Today, and today only, please feel free to send your meme of choice – note the singular – for the Weekly Meme Review. Remember, there is an automatic -1 for #dogposting. We may have to consider a similar penalty for #orcposting, given my known predilection for it.

Speaking of things memetic, Lacey Fairchild has produced what has got to be among the top ten weirdest crossovers ever in comics, in which she reveals her sneakily funny sense of humor.

And, of course, a reminder that now is the time to get your MIDNIGHT’S WAR print editions. An update on the campaign will be posted later today.

Educating the Spiritually Blind

Archbishop Vigano addresses those whose hearts are in the right place, whose spirits are justly offended by the wickedness and evil of Clown World, but fail to grasp the fundamentally spiritual nature of the conflict they are observing:

In this series of events that we are witnessing and will continue to witness, your commitment could risk being thwarted or limited by the fact of not being able to see its essentially spiritual nature. I know that two centuries of Enlightenment thought, revolutions, atheistic materialism and anticlerical liberalism have accustomed us to thinking of Faith as a personal matter, or that there is not an objective Truth to which we all must conform. But this is the fruit of a propaedeutic indoctrination, one that happened long before what is happening today, and it would be foolish to believe that the anti-Christian ideology that drove the secret sects and Masonic groups of the eighteenth century had nothing to do with the anti-Christian ideology that today drives people like Klaus Schwab, George Soros, and Bill Gates. The driving principles are the same: rebellion against God, hatred for the Church and humanity, and destructive fury aimed against Creation and especially against man because he is created in the image and likeness of God.

If you start from this evidence, you will understand that it is not possible to pretend that what is happening before our eyes is solely the result of profit-seeking or the desire for power. Certainly, the economic part cannot be disregarded, considering how many people have collaborated with the World Economic Forum. And yet, beyond profit, there are unstated purposes that stem from a “theological” vision – one that is turned upside-down, it’s true, but still theological – a vision that sees two opposing sides: the side of Christ and the side of the Antichrist.

On the one hand, there is the City of God – the one Saint Augustine writes about – and on the other hand there is the city of the devil. We can say that in this era the city of the devil is clearly identifiable in neo-Malthusian globalism, the New World Order, the United Nations, the World Economic Forum, the European Union, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and in all those so called “philanthropical foundations” that follow an ideology of death, disease, destruction, and tyranny. And also in those forces that have infiltrated the institutions, which we call the deep state and the deep church.

The archbishop is absolutely correct. How many times have I warned you of the dangers of propaedeutic indoctrination! Well, none, actually, since that’s a new one on me.

Propaedeutics (from Ancient Greek προπαίδευσις, propaídeusis ‘preparatory education’) is a historical term for an introductory course into an art or science.

But if the words are new, the point is clear. Too many people who are on our side don’t even know what our side truly is because they have been spiritually lobotomized and forced to perceive the world through the false and illogical lens of the rational materialist. The Good, the Beautiful, and the True sings out to them, but they can only hear the faintest echoes of it, they do not hear the music itself.

And yet, they can smell the stink of sulfur that permeates Clown World, and their very being revolts against it. What the archbishop is telling these people is that they will be forced to make a choice, and it’s not our side that will force them to make it. Submit to God or submit to the world, those are the only two options available to every man.

Go Woke and Choke

Wales is the latest World Cup team to lose after making a public display of their dedication to the rainbow agenda.

ITEM: Gareth Bale’s side wore rainbow shirts during their-warmup ahead of the crucial game. Captain Bale led the way as all 26 players wore a white top with multi-coloured stripes running down each shoulder pre-match. Following the warm-up, the players returned down the tunnel and later re-emerged wearing Adidas jackets with rainbow flashes amid an ongoing row with FIFA over political statements and its ban on the LGBTQ ‘OneLove armband.

So brave. Much wow!

ITEM: Disaster for Wales at the World Cup after Welsh goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey was sent off for clash with Iranian. Wales have suffered a gut-wrenching 2-0 defeat in their crucial match with Iran
Wayne Hennessey was sent off and Iran struck the post before two late goals.

The soccer gods are clearly not amused by teams that put politics and globalist propaganda ahead of sports.

For example, back for the first paperback (issues 1-6), then add on the second paperback (7-12) and the third one (Night Streets 1-6). While you aren’t permitted to do multiple backings, you can add add-ons to your backing later.

Happy Thanksgiving

SPACEKRAKEN

Among the many things for which I am thankful to God this Thanksgiving is this community. We may be a diverse and esoteric collection of souls, but we have continued to find common ground in devotion to the Good, the Beautiful, and the True, particularly as personified in the divinity of Jesus Christ.

And all of us can also be thankful to be privileged to find ourselves living in such interesting and challenging times, where we have been given the opportunity to stand up and declare a side in the long-running war between the servants of God and the servants of Satan. As much as we might long for the peaceful salad days of yore, it is the conflict that tests and tempers us that makes us become more than we were before.
