Week?
Fr. Bill is a man of vocabulary!
And truth!!!
Well, maybe I won’t leave all my thoughts for another day. I’ll reiterate that I think what’s going on with the present presidential intrigue really does tie in to many other things including the previous year’s election intrigue and COVID (of course.) To be honest, that’s just the start.
Regarding conspiracies more broadly but with definite relationship to the “oddness” of our present worldwide weirdness I’ll say that I’m no expert here either. I’m a Christian by God’s grace and I try to use the mind that He gave me to consistently understand what I encounter. And I’ve had the opportunity to spend time exposed to a decent amount of broadly “conspiratorial” content and material over a number of years, partly as hobby, partly as interest motivated by an attempt at love for the truth. Attempting meaningful understanding and analysis of such materials truly is rife with pitfalls. There are important topics to know about, though, too and there is a continuity to many of their relationships to one another that make the history of, at very least, the post-WWII era take on a number of aspects that I, for one, was never taught in school. And there are modern “praetorians,” so to speak.
I think that it is from there that much of the corruption functions but I also often give consideration to what some who have or have had such roles and tried to do so honorably (or even as Christians) think about each of the issues under discussion and how they inter-relate, as well as how they experience grief over the state of the country. I think that, tragically, some of the most honorable to serve both in the armed forces and also in other forms of foreign service and the intel agencies have often been the least honorably treated when they have become aware of serious criminality, wrongdoing, and in some cases profound evils. Their attempts to expose the blatantly un-American and illegal realities often carry the doubly injurious situation of being attacked by the systems that should be protecting all Americans while at the same time having their rather earth-shattering information largely ignored, certainly by “the news.”
I had assembled a number of links and typed up some descriptions to material that I think help to introduce some modern topics that would give a picture as to why I think and speak like the corruption is so systemic and partly coordinated. I decided against posting it right now, simply because I feel the discussion is involved enough that it would be difficult (for me at least) to give a full enough description in this communication format to be as accurate as I would want with my thoughts. I’d love to actually discuss some of the related topics, though. Perhaps that sort of thing works best in person or more slowly for the written format.
Since it’s slightly boring to read my remarks, maybe I’ll include one picture, though. When I say there’s a continuity to some of the current corruption and intrigue, though, I really do think it inter-relates in some ways to things that go back much further. This is, in my mind, one of the most remarkable historic photos of the 20th century.
May our Lord grant courage to those who sacrifice for the exposure of wrongdoing.
