    A picture I stumbled upon.
    New York City Children Playing Next to a Dead Horse. As of 1903, this dairy company was located at 527 West 125th Street.There are 10 kids,all but one seem to be barefoot, playing in the street gutter and around puddles of raw sewage,all within in a few feet of a dead horse; circa 1903.

    People forget how hard life used to be, that more than half of children died by the age of 5, if you ate twice a day you were happy, children from the age of 6 worked in mines and factories, there were no medicines, life expectancy is was about 40 years old (today it is over 80), people used to freeze in their houses in unsanitary conditions, sometimes 10 people in a few square meters... And yes, what I am writing about were the lucky ones in the cities, those on in the outskirts and in the countryside they had even worse experiences. And I didn't even mention the wars, the Great Depression, the Spanish flu, etc.
    These are the "privileges" that today's cultural Marxists say our ancestors had, which is why we are successful...

    Despite all these sufferings, these people were honorable, honest with a firm faith in God despite all the sufferings and torments . Today we have never more food, clothes, a warm home, technology and people have turned their backs on God, lost the meaning of their own existence, contact with reason and traditional values.

    A spoiled generation has been created that does not believe in anything but itself and only wants to satisfy its hedonistic appetites, full of hatred for dissenters that cannot stand God, truth and freedom.
    You need no greater proof than the existence of God, the mere fact that none of the above, neither food, nor wealth, luxury, technology can satisfy modern man because he lacks that spiritual sphere and until God dwells in him he will feel restlessness and wander like a madman in which he pretends to be. All modern diseases, especially psychological ones, are proof of this.

    History repeatedly tells us that civilisation is merely a thin veneer, that can easily and surprisingly quickly fall asunder.

    I have just begun ploughing into E. Michael Jones' great history of the Jews, "The Jewish Revolutionary Spirit". In that context, the present genocide by the people who are most accurately identified as the rejectors of Christ, is yet another in a false Messianic series that will, if previous events are any guide, terminate in cataclysm for them. I've only read fifty pages yet (there are 1,000!), but already have read of two post-Incarnation, absolutely disastrous Jewish rebellions, the first in AD 70 and the second little more than a half century later. Both featured spectacular initial success, but each ended in apocalyptic defeat. The strategy of Netanyahu seems just a new version of the old Messianism, in its militarism and over-reaching ambition. Tragically, they chose to crucify the true Messiah and their very identity and being is most accurately defined by their continued rejection of Him. As Jones points out, being a Jew is not an ethno-racial (many races can be Jews), national or religious (one can be an atheist or Buddhist Jew, but not a Christian one, according to the Jews themselves) identity, but rather they are best described as those who have rejected their own, true, Messiah.

    This might sound like a wild hypothesis but after the warning would it be possible that Israel would convert to Christianity and the Temple Mount become a new church recognizing Jesus as the Messiah? Also Muslims would convert and everyone could worship there? The road that Israel is traveling now is suicide and the only way they can stay in existence is through the warning. That’s why I think the warning is coming soon. How do you feel about that?

    Would be interested in synopsis of the book as you go along or at the end. I realise it is asking a lot but I love E Michael Jones.

    Will take a while!

    On another tangent, Jones has been completely vindicated in his criticisms of Michael Voris. A prickly but sound judge of character.

    I think, for what it's worth, that the conversion of the Jews will come in the final end. The Muslims are already quietly converting in significant numbers and I think many will convert long before the Jews. Unlike the Jews, Muslims do not categorically reject Christ, regarding Him as a prophet and, correct me if I'm wrong, the One who will judge all. Also, many venerate His Mother. The persecutions notoriously perpetrated by ISIS against Nazarenes could bring one to question whether this untypical persecution might be connected to the foundation and support of this group by the Jewish-dominated US neo-conservative faction.

    The problem with Jews is that Christianity is their biggest enemy and when you look deeply, practically all actions lead to its destruction. Communism is the main tool where not only is Marx the founder, but they brought out all the revolutions, 90% are leftists, and the small part of rightists who at least pretend to do so do everything in their interest.
    Lately, those who pretend to be conservatives can't hide that they hate the name Jesus.

    I don't know how much you followed the situation with Candance Owens, who was fired by Ben Shapiro (The Daily Wire) for criticizing Israel, and then insulted him.
    She put "Jesus is king" on Twitter, which they interpret as anti-Semitism.

    This is their explanation...

    Jeremy Boreing, the chief executive of US conservative media company The Daily Wire gave a long explanation on X: "How is saying "Christ is King" anti-Semitic? The same way anything becomes antisemitic - when it is used for the purpose of expressing antisemitism. It's like asking "how does a shovel become a murder weapon?" When it is used to murder someone. This isn't hard. A shovel is not inherently a murder weapon. Saying "Christ is King" is not innately anti-Semitic. It's all about how a thing is used. Saying "Christ is King" for an evil purpose - like using it as a weapon to express your hatred or disdain for the Jews - is a grave sin... God will not be mocked. Invoking Him in vain self-promotion, or to troll Jews, or to attack your political rivals is to carry forth His Name in vain.”

    There are currently 35 Jews in the US Congress, of which 33 are Democrats (9 senators) that means 95% are liberals by party membership.
    There are two Republicans in the House of Representatives. Those who are supposed to protect the traditional Christian values of the USA.

    However, one of the Republican Jews Max Miller.

    On August 15, 2023, in a post on X (formerly Twitter) Miller called on Lizzie Marbach, the director of communications at Ohio Right to Life, to delete a post in which she stated, "There's no hope for any of us outside of having faith in Jesus Christ alone. In his response Miller said, "This is one of the most bigoted tweets I have ever seen. Delete it, Lizzie. Religious freedom in the United States applies to every religion. You have gone too far." Individuals such as Matt Walsh, Christina Pushaw, and U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar all rebuked Miller's statements. He later apologized for the post...

    True colors come out, while at the same time doing everything in the interests of Israel/Jews...

    After the October 7, 2023 attack by Hamas in southern Israel, Miller criticized Rashida Tlaib for displaying a Palestinian flag outside her office, saying: "I don't even want to call it the Palestinian flag because they're not a state, they 're a territory, that's about to probably get eviscerated and go away here shortly, as we're going to turn that into a parking lot." Miller further stated there should be no "rules of engagement" in the Israeli assault on Gaza...

    Of course, the media hides this. However, the fact that they become so open in their intentions is worrying.

    I find him eminently orthodox, while simultaneously learnedly broad in his theology. He typifies that ability of the Church to contain manifold points of view without straying into heresy. Of course, this requires deep knowledge and profound understanding of that which is professed by the Catholic Church, something which seems beyond so many of Her supposedly learned prelates, at this time.

    He also can handle himself in controversy.
