Have you seen pics from this so called gala? Satanic all the way. Skin crawling. Imagine paying 100,000 to frolic with demons. God have mercy!!!
It’s a reflection of Hollyweird. We must overcome them with our celebrations. We have World Youth Day, March for Life, Marian processions etc. Thats why I don’t participate in Halloween. We have EWTN, Catholic radio. Gotta get in their faces.
Wouldn’t be caught dead at cheap trash like that! All joking aside, isn’t it infinitely outclassed by a funeral party retreating to a nearby hostelry and having a few sandwiches, a few pints and revelling over the memories of the person they have just buried? I suppose I’m hoping I will be caught dead at such an event!
Because they are artificially keeping prices lower now than the real market price of production and delivery, they cannot keep doing that for long. In your country, they are releasing strategic oil reserves; Biden did the same. But those reserves are meant for situations like war or natural disasters not for manipulating the market because of political mistakes and starting wars. Your total reserves are around 750 million barrels. Before the war started, the reserves were at about 500 million barrels, and below 200 million the military would never allow further use because that amount is reserved for their own needs. Around 7–10 million barrels are being released weekly. The U.S. imports about 10% of its oil from the Middle East by tanker; the rest is imported from Canada and Mexico. However, oil companies are not state-owned, and prices depend on the global oil market. Here in Europe, governments removed part of the taxes, and Australia did as well. But prices are still roughly twice as high. Inflation will spread to food and other necessities, and the government will not have enough money from taxes to keep up with salary increases in the public sector, healthcare, and the welfare system especially in Europe. That will lead to unrest. They may raise taxes on private businesses, which would again lead to social unrest.
Scott Rotter here is adamant that Russia will invade Europe sooner rather than later. This is part of the fatima prophecy.... Is he right? Is this possible?
I am just curious. Why are Gas prices more expensive in California than anywhere else in the USA? Also why is pretty well everything more expensive for anything else? By chance I watched a strange little video this morning about this tiny little hamlet in the sticks of Virginia. It reminded me of my own little place here in Spain. But in other ways so different. Loads of drink and drug taking a sense of total hopelessness and implicit violence. I would guess that place in Virginia is just as Godless as here in Spain but in Virginia it kinda shows in results more. They have both so much in common and yet are so totally different. Building in stone is much better than wood.
High taxes and green levies, along with massive bureaucracy... In the U.S., $2 trillion is drained from the system every year. When you combine corruption and leftist ideology, you get California and the EU. The original idea was good these are the two most prosperous regions in the history of humankind, and interestingly, they were extremely conservative while they were becoming wealthy and during the first few decades under such politicians. However, hedonism clouded their judgment and distorted their minds, as usually happens. Now they are on the trajectory of the former Roman Empire.
I have a special place in my heart for these kind of people. Some of my ancestors came from that area--the hollers of the Appalachian mountains--and they have a hard history. In those days everyone went to church, little churches in the mountains, and little one room schools for the kids. Life was simple for families. They farmed and raised animals, and progress was much slower than the surrounding world. They knew nothing of the big cities....until the big city people came to them. They wanted the mineral rights to their land and tricked them into selling them away...and then big companies came out and blasted holes in the hills and cut all the trees down, and erosion washed away people's crops...until the people were forced to begin working for these same companies, mining in the mountains for coal, because they could no longer farm and maintain their former way of life. The companies built and ran stores, and paid the people in coupons to only use in their stores to buy food and essentials. More outsiders came in from the city to introduce politics and got people and families divided, and do-gooders who felt the mountain children were too backwards because they believed in God, modesty, traditional gender roles, and simple, old-fashioned life came to the schools and took over education. Their aim was to change the beliefs of the parents through educating their children. And they encouraged those children to aspire for "greater" things in the world beyond their holler. They encouraged them to move to the city when they grew up. All of this under the guise of rescuing the Appalachian people from poverty. But once the resources were used up in an area, the big companies laid everyone off and moved on, leaving poor, broken families with new vices and confusion in their wake. I have great admiration and sympathy for the people who are still there. They are a simpler, more down-to-earth kind of folk. A bit rough around the edges because of their past and their poverty, but childlike enough to still believe in God and be loyal to family. They still have common sense and want traditional values. A few decades ago, drugs were brought to the country. Everywhere, all over America, people out in the country began getting addicted to drugs. I don't know who started this, but I absolutely believe it was intentional and coordinated. Around the same time, big freeways were built and big corporations like Walmart began popping up everywhere, and small laid back towns began dying because they couldn't compete with big business. Thriving areas became ghost towns. The depression and poverty helped fuel the addiction. I can't help thinking the freemasons had something to do with this. There is a masonic lodge in every single city and small town, even the most run-down ones. Most likely freemasons infiltrated everything from school boards to churches to city councils. The good, simple people of every place have been targeted, to remove God and hope and traditional values. But still, from my experience living out here in the country after living in the suburbs most of my life, the country people are hanging onto God more tightly, even with all their struggles with poverty and addiction.
The Scots Irish are a tough troublesome bunch. They do tend to be religious but of a low Church Calvinist kind. They have not changed much since they left Ireland. A Law unto themselves. Not to be got on the wrong side of.
I agree with everything you say. My father's people were Scots Irish and went west with Boone into Kentuckey. They did well and went on to Ohio and Chicago but retained a fierce integrity and patriotism. JD Vance is eloquent on the subject of Appalachia. They are his people as well. And Fr Don Calloway!
In my family they married devout Catholic Irish girls right down through to me. It has softened some of those traits.
I live in WV and know people like this. Good people. I do think these types of interviews keep the stereotype going of WV hillbillies.
