Do your best. Speak the truth.
There are higher powers and there are lower powers. The world we see manifest today reveals many lower powers. This page has more “artwork” of this nature. We do need to see representations of the slaughter of innocents from time to time to remind us that reason often does not rule. Nor that random chaos or glitches in the human system are the cause. There are higher powers and there are lower powers. ABN
Editor’s Note: This morning I received an urgent email from his Excellency Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, asking us to give top priority to his message on the crisis in Ukraine.
“In the Russian-Ukrainian crisis,” the Archbishop writes, “we must clearly recognize and denounce the coup d’état of the deep state worldwide, which has worked to install the New World Order, involving the WEF, NATO, UN, the European Union, the IMF…”
I could not agree more with his Excellency, that this is indeed a geo-critical moment and that this discussion must move beyond the realm of Fox News and CNN if we are to bring anything constructive to the de-escalation of this crisis.
If this issue is not addressed with integrity and objectivity, Viganò cautions, “there is a real risk that the Biden Administration will take advantage of this crisis, of which Joe Biden himself is an accomplice and responsible.”
“There is also a real risk,” His Excellency continues, “that this crisis will serve to cover up Biden’s crimes, those of his son Hunter, the China virus pseudo-pandemic, the Durham investigation, the 2020 electoral fraud, as well as jeopardizing the mid-term elections in the United States.”

…Ukraine is no democracy. The nation’s current government came into power after the 2014 coup engineered by President Barack Obama’s State Department at an estimated cost of $5 billion. The regime change was driven by State Department Russophobe Victoria Nuland with a little help from international globalist George Soros. It removed the democratically elected President Viktor Yanukovych who was unfortunately for him a friend of Russia. Ukraine is reputedly both the poorest and most corrupt country in Europe, witness the Hunter Biden saga. Zelenskyy who is Jewish and claims to have holocaust victims in his family tree is a former comedian who won election in 2019. He replaced another Jewish president Petro Poroshenko, after being heavily funded and promoted by yet another fellow Jew and Ukraine’s richest oligarch Ihor Kolomoyskyi, who is also an Israeli citizen and lives in Israel. As an entertainer, one of Zelenskyy’s musical acts consisted of his playing a piano with his penis, suggesting that Ukrainian humor has some unique characteristics.
After the election of the post-coup new model Ukrainian government in 2014, opposition parties were declared illegal and some leaders were arrested for “treason,” the media was censored and the parliament outlawed Russian, the language of a third of the population, as an official language. Then the government declared war on the predominantly Russian Eastern provinces and, for past eight years, has killed 14,000 people.

…When then-President Petro Poroshenko nationalized Kolomoyskyi’s PrivatBank (which was also operated by fellow Jew Gennadiy (Zvi Hirsch) Bogolyubov) in 2016, Kolomoyskyi threw his influence behind fellow Jew and popular actor Volodymyr Zelenskyy, now a hero and darling of the Western media. Zelenskyy’s campaign, strangely enough, began with his appearance on Kolomoyskyi’s media channel as the star of the television series Servant of the People, where he played the role of the president of Ukraine. In the series, Zelenskyy’s character was a high-school history teacher in his 30s who won the presidential election after a viral video showed him ranting against government corruption in Ukraine. In retrospect, the show was a masterwork of social engineering and life imitating art.
There was initially some unease that the whole thing might be too obvious. “There are legitimate reasons to worry about the future of Ukrainian Jewry,” said Vladislav Davidzon, the editor-in-chief of the magazine Odessa Review. “Having a Jewish president, who is also backed by a picaresque Jewish oligarch might cause any failings to be directed at the Jewish community.” He needn’t have worried. Zelenskyy sky-rocketed to prominence, and one of his earliest measures was to nominate fellow Jew Volodymyr Groysman as Prime Minister and target Poroshenko, setting in motion a sequence of events that would result in the reversal of the nationalization of PrivatBank and the return of the bank to Kolomoyskyi. Although posturing as an anti-corruption populist, Zelenskyy’s links to Kolomoyskyi have continued to dog him, and in October 2021 it was revealed via the Pandora Papers that Zelenskyy, who constantly denied that he was a “puppet” of the Jewish oligarch, and his associates had received $40 million into offshore accounts from funds linked to Kolomoyskyi.

…There exists a principle of philosophy that I observe, which falls along the lines of Sir Isaac Newton’s third law of motion, also known as the law of action-reaction. That is, unless one is very careful, an appeal to truth will almost always be accompanied by, at the very least, an implicit appeal to embargo. Nihilism is the embargo, which comes commensurate with the ‘truth’ of not being able to measure outside the bounds of physical reality. Collectivism suffers the embargo which results from the ‘truth’ of a successful deployment of capital. Freedom suffers the embargo which arrives under the awesome specter of an impending cataclysm‘s ‘truth’.
link
When an advocate appeals to authority of truth, by means of enforcing an embargo of competing ideas – they are typically protecting a lie, or at least hyperbole. Even if that advocate is accidentally correct about their truth in the end, such mechanism still constitutes a lie because of the way in which the truth was enforced – by means of explicit or implicit false dichotomy, and enforcement of a false null hypothesis with no competing alternative idea. Accuracy in such a case, is a mere triviality.
Above is an excerpt from a worthy essay on bad science and erroneous exclusion of competing ideas. The essay is called Sciebam – Religion with P-Values. Throughout the essay the word religion is repeatedly used to represent a close-minded way of thinking. But that itself is a close-minded way of thinking about religion. ABN
…Going by his concrete record… [Collins] seems like a strange ambassador to spread the government’s Covid messaging to theologically conservative congregations. Other than his proclamations that he is, himself, a believer, the NIH director espouses nearly no public positions that would mark him out as any different from any extreme Left-wing bureaucrat.
He has not only defended experimentation on fetuses obtained by abortion, he has also directed record-level spending toward it. Among the priorities the NIH has funded under Collins — a University of Pittsburgh experiment that involved grafting infant scalps onto lab rats, as well as projects that relied on the harvested organs of aborted, full-term babies. Some doctors have even charged Collins with giving money to research that required extracting kidneys, ureters, and bladders from living infants.
…Under his watch, the NIH launched a new initiative to specifically direct funding to “sexual and gender minorities.” On the ground, this has translated to awarding millions in grants to experimental transgender research on minors, like giving opposite-sex hormones to children as young as eight and mastectomies to girls as young as 13. Another project, awarded $8 million in grants, included recruiting teen boys to track their homosexual activities like “condomless anal sex” on an app without their parents’ consent.
…Francis Collins has been an especially successful envoy for the Biden administration, delivering messages to a mostly-Republican Christian populace who would otherwise be reluctant to hear them. In their presentation of Collins’ expertise, these pastors and leaders suggested that questioning his explanations as to the origins of the virus or the efficacy of masks was not simply a point of disagreement but sinful. This was a charge likely to have a great deal of impact on churchgoers who strive to live lives in accordance with godly standards. Perhaps no other argument could’ve been more persuasive to this demographic.
How The Federal Government Used Evangelical Leaders To Spread Covid Propaganda To Churches
This is a strong takedown of Collins’ strategy of lying to Christians with the help of many major Christian organizations. By deceitfully equating “The Science of Covid” with Christian devotion, Collins deliberately misled millions of Americans, often with the help of their pastors who should have known better. During covid, we have seen every major US institution completely fail to provide truthful and transparent information to the public. Instead, they all have lied, misled, and by their actions harmed millions of naively trusting Americans. ABN
U.S. President Joe Biden joined Pope Francis and a leading Sunni imam on Friday in calling for greater global co-operation to fight the coronavirus pandemic, climate change and other world crises on the second anniversary of a landmark Christian-Muslim peace initiative.
The Vatican released a statement from Biden marking the International Day of Human Fraternity, a U.N.-designated celebration of interfaith and multicultural understanding inspired by a landmark document signed on Feb. 4, 2019, in Abu Dhabi by Francis and Sheikh Ahmad al-Tayyeb, the imam of the Al-Azhar centre for Sunni learning in Cairo.

Dubious from any of them separately and only more dubious when coming from all three together, especially since their way of “fighting coronavirus” is by using failed and dangerous vaxxes even more. ABN
This nurse, Tawny Buettner, often refers to what sounds like MIS-C (Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children), which is a condition where different body parts can become inflamed, including the heart, lungs, kidneys, brain, skin, eyes, or gastrointestinal organs. Notice also that Buettner has deep religious convictions, which she speaks about near the end. Dr Peter McCullough finds similar strong religious beliefs in doctors who are willing to speak about vax injury and banned early treatments. In just this, we can see that religious beliefs have an eminently practical value in society. I personally find Buettner’s testimony in this video very credible. ABN
Anti-Semitic flyers falsely blaming the Jewish community of a COVID conspiracy were distributed in Florida, Colorado, Texas and California this weekend
Similar flyers have been disseminated Wisconsin and Maryland boasting the logo and name of the Goyim Defense League hate group
The Goyim Defense League is a known anti-Semitic hate group with sectors across the US and an online streaming site GoyimTV
The hate group took off in 2020 as they began spewing false information vilifying the Jewish people with anti-Semitic tropes and COVID conspiracies

A new study done in Germany suggests that faith in god or ‘a higher power’ was greatly weakened by the pandemic. In a cross-sectional survey, Catholics and Protestants – the two largest religious denominations reported a precipitous drop in faith during the COVID-19 pandemic, especially around the second wave.
The study used self-reported measures of wellbeing, and self-reported changes in faith to arrive at its conclusions. It found that wellbeing decreased significantly with the second wave of COVID-19, when stringent restrictions came into effect in the country. At the same time, stress caused by the pandemic and restrictions in daily life seem to have contributed to increased anxiety, insecurity, loneliness and financial woes.

I know one person whose faith and interest in Buddhism increased greatly due to the pandemic showing them very clearly the truth of the First and Second Noble Truths of Buddhism. It would not surprise me if there are many others. In Buddhism, this world is characterized by delusion, which has been glaringly apparent during covid. We make our ways out of this morass as individuals and with good friends we know well, not in large groups. ABN
In my book, suasion that maliciously uses or perverts other people’s good moral intentions is among the worst moral acts you can do. It is not only evil in itself but also harms the conscience, morality, and clear thinking of the person so abused.
An example of this is the CDC telling people to get vaxxed “for others.” By appealing to our moral sense, they are maliciously using our good and morally-felt intentions to get us to override our reason, thus warping our consciences.
The road to heaven or enlightenment is paved with good intentions, no doubt about it. Good intentions arise from good thoughts and produce more good thoughts in self and other. Clearly, wisdom is also called for because this world is filled with people who will knowingly betray our trust, abuse our innocence, or maliciously use or pervert our good intentions.
I used the CDC example because it is current, but many other examples of this idea can be found. Understanding this is an important part of the line we all must eventually cross between innocence and wisdom. We have to know ourselves what is right and not be fooled by others who seek to use us for unwholesome ends.
We won the big one, exactly as forecast — 6 to 3, with the 3 conservatives wanting to go further. I believe the OSHA ruling sets the more significant precedent. What saved the Medicare mandate was 3-fold: first, religious exceptions required in the rule itself; second, the percieved beneficiary is old & poor patients; and third, the history of hospitals mandating vaccines. Very good to see Barrett join the conservatives on the Medicare mandate. All in all, a good day.

The religious exception is of magisterial importance and shows we still have something left of our country. Barnes elsewhere has said that the religious exception to vaxxes is fundamentally a matter of “personal conscience,” a point I agree with very strongly. All people, including atheists, have the core right to assert a religious exception based on this reading of the Constitution. No individual should ever give up their right to think, speak, believe, and act on the deep promptings of their conscience. ABN
OUTRAGE: @CalgaryPolice arrest Pastor Artur Pawlowski AGAIN. Again with a SWAT-style highway takedown, again dragging him into the street as cars speed by, in the night, in the snow. 20 cops. 20 thugs. http://www.SaveArtur.com.
One cop thought he’s humiliate Nathaniel, Artur’s son who recorded the arrest. N. says, “no criminals to catch today?” Officer Moore says, “just him”. But Artur is not a criminal. He has not been charged or convicted of a crime. That’s defamation. And it shows malicious policing.
I’m reminded that this is actually the 3rd time police have made a SWAT-style arrest of Pastor Artur. They’re obsessed with him. It’s a vendetta. It’s personal. I honestly think there’s a chance they’re going to arrange for him to be stabbed in prison. They so obviously hate him.

Zelenko makes some interesting religious observations throughout but especially in the last segment of this video. The diabolical plan, if that is what it is, is to trick the gullible and stupid into taking the vax and dying. Hard not to notice that the plan, if that is what it is, is aimed directly at Western civilization. ABN
