GunnerQ2

One of the most unpopular aspects of the New Testament is that it contains many gray areas. There are practical reasons for that… you cannot have a monocultural global religion… but more importantly, Christ wants His followers to be transformed into gods. That requires breathing space for initiative and self-determination.

Many people don’t like that. Many people prefer their religion to be a list of rules rather than a fountain of opportunity. Their God is NOT bigger than a bread box, thank you very much. He fits very nicely between Saturday’s nightclub and Sunday’s football game.

Let’s start easy. I don’t disagree with this bishop, but what he didn’t say needs to be said very loudly.

Belgian Bishop Claims Euthanasia Is ‘Not Necessarily’ Morally Wrong

h ttps://www.breitbart.com/faith/2023/10/11/belgian-bishop-claims-euthanasia-is-not-necessarily-morally-wrong/

By Thomas D. Williams, PhD, 11 October 2023

For example, it’s easy to discern that Mr. Williams is an emotionally insecure midwit. He’s smart enough to get a PhD and insecure enough that he wants the world to know.

ROME — Catholic Bishop Johan Bonny of Antwerp, Belgium, has sparked controversy by suggesting that euthanasia is not necessarily morally wrong in all circumstances.

In a recent interview, the progressive Bishop Bonny took aim at the Vatican, asserting that Church leaders are mistaken in teaching that euthanasia is “always an intrinsic evil, whatever the circumstances.”

“This is too simple an answer that leaves no room for discernment,” the bishop said, elaborating, “We will always oppose the wish of some to end a life too prematurely, but we must recognize that a request for euthanasia from a young man of 40 is not equivalent to that of a person of 90 who faces an incurable illness.”

“What do you say to someone who has been affected by an incurable illness for years and who has decided to request euthanasia after talking to their family, their doctor, their loved ones?” Bonny asked.

“We must always refer to the Bible, but nothing is more difficult than interpreting it and applying it to a particular situation without falling into fundamentalism,” he contended. “God relies on our intelligence to fully understand his word.”

That is correct.

The bishop said philosophy has taught him “never to be satisfied with generic black and white answers.”

That is NOT correct. Your philosophy degree and six dollars will buy you a cup of coffee in Kommiefornia, but you still won’t know what a woman is.

“All questions deserve answers adapted to a situation: a moral judgment must always be pronounced according to the concrete situation, the culture, the circumstances, the context,” he said.

The Christian moral judgement on euthanasia, in a vacuum, is that your life belongs to you. God does not want slaves; neither does He want us treating our siblings-in-Christ as slaves. You can choose to live or die. There will be consequences either way, but nowhere in Scripture does God impose a duty to live.

We would, on occasion, have to temporarily renounce Christ, if Christ’s Will for us was longevity.

BUT, that is Christian morality “in a vacuum”.

Saint Pope John Paul II said euthanasia is often accepted out of “misguided pity” but is also “sometimes justified by the utilitarian motive of avoiding costs which bring no return and which weigh heavily on society.”

The boldfaced is where we are in Current Year. In the context of socialized health care, the opportunity to die becomes… very quickly… the duty to die. As soon as government starts paying your medical bills, government will start looking for ways to minimize your medical bills, and cue the Death Panels.

Euthanasia is immoral for the time being, because we are ruled by people who hate us and want us dead and are trying to create as many ways to off us as they can imagine. We should not allow the State to exploit our freedom over death.

That will not always be the situation. And yet, many Christians are so uncomfortable with the spirit of God’s Will that they insist upon the letter of God’s Will. If God was not explicit then Churchian bureaucrats… at the request of the insistently immature… will happily step in to correct God’s mistakes.

This is what they mean, when they say you cannot free a man who was born a slave. Little has changed since Moses wore a veil.

A major cause of church friction is clergy imposing moral codes where God did not, then refusing to change those moral codes as time passes and situations change. Perhaps there was a time when dancing was sexually immoral, but it’s not immoral everywhere and always. Perhaps there was a time when the King James Bible was supernaturally special, but today I can’t hardly read it. I once heard of a promising pro tennis player who decided he was making an idol of tennis, and walked away from the sport. No rule or prophet required him to do that. He simply wanted, to the best of his knowledge, what God wanted.

God will surely reward him for that devotion even if he was mistaken.

But no. Instead of churches being groups of men worshiping God and building up each other, they’re bureaucracies of variable relevance, united only in their certainty that a man should not be permitted to judge his own way through life.

The issue here, is that discernment is DEAD in the Christian Church. Deader than disco. Christians, ESPECIALLY clergy, fail so completely to recognize evil or identify God’s Will in changing situations, that many unbelievers see nothing unique about God.

Do Christians have more stable marriages? No and don’t argue otherwise, because “No” is what they honestly see. Any quoted statistics are secondary. You have not the beginnings of discernment, if when other people think for themselves, your knee-jerk response is “don’t believe your lying eyes”.

Can you tell the difference between a Godly young woman and a Godless young woman without having to ask? No. How often does a “believer” alter his life path specifically because he is a believer? Heh. Unbelievers watch Christians live no differently than non-Christians, and reasonably ask why they should bother with Christ.

I cannot answer them because “come to Jesus, shun His Church” is nearly the same thing as “don’t believe your lying eyes”. The only reason it isn’t, is because the average Christian is lying about being a Christian… but “90% of Christians are faking it” is a hard sell. I myself don’t attend church because I’m a believer. It would be a decent social opportunity; I could make some friends or at least hang out a little; but I would either live the complementarian lie they offer, or be kicked out for denouncing that lie.

And you know me. I’m so quiet. Got no tongue at all.

Discernment isn’t hard, or at least, you can start with the easy stuff like “when is self-killing a bad idea?” or “do I go to Hell if I burn with lust but no woman will marry me?” or “is getting involved in yet another Mideastern war, on behalf of foreigners who hate Jesus, something that Jesus would do? Even if we assume, despite the evidence and history, that their cause is legitimate?”

Or how about, “did God mean what He repeatedly said about women submitting to men and wearing head coverings? Nah, we today are smart enough to know that God secretly wanted us to do the exact opposite, just like the God-hating Marxists are teaching us to.”

IT’S NOT DIFFICULT, CHUCKLEHEADS!!!!

I’m not even asking for action. I’m asking you to make smarter choices about what you choose to believe & say, because it’s frustrating to be associated with morons who say God and do Satan. For serious, the typical “Christian” is two steps* away from believing Christ died so we wouldn’t have to sacrifice chickens on the pentagram any longer.

Christ has already covered any spiritual penalty for the inevitable mistakes you’ll make as you begin to actively participate in God’s plans for humanity. You have godhood to gain, and nothing to lose but your flesh.

…

*Step One: discover what your daughter is being taught at the local government school. Step Two: feel sad for the chicken.

Israel is now a triumvirate dictatorship… and poised for rapid growth!

Netanyahu Is Sharing Power With One of His Most Popular Political Opponents. It Could Keep a Broader War at Bay.

h ttps://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/10/netanyahu-israel-emergency-unity-government-gantz.html

By Fred Kaplan, 11 October 2023

No, Benny is NOT sharing power. He won, permanently, full stop.

The formation of a unity government in Israel, with power shared by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and one of his most popular political opponents, is a major development—a necessary step to sustain support for the war, on the home front and among Israel’s allies, as the fighting is about to intensify.

Just as important as the step itself—which was announced on Wednesday and will last only as long as the war does—is the new government’s co-leader: Benny Gantz, a former Israeli defense minister and army chief of staff whose party won more votes than Netanyahu’s in the 2019 election but failed to piece together a majority coalition. Until Saturday, Gantz had said he would never join a government with Netanyahu.

As part of the arrangement, Gantz demanded—and Netanyahu ultimately agreed—that all decisions about the war would be deliberated by a small emergency cabinet consisting only of those two men and the current defense minister, Yoav Gallant. This will exclude the other cabinet members in Israel’s governing coalition, all of whom are to the right of Netanyahu and, therefore, are distrusted by half of the country.

QED, a Triumvirate. And you thought democracy was an unstable government? Keep reading… I seriously doubt that a threesome was Gantz’ idea.

The two men also agreed that, for as long as the war lasts, the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, will not consider any legislation unrelated to the war. This means that Netanyahu’s most controversial motion—a package of laws to slash the supreme court’s powers, a proposal that has spurred hundreds of thousands of Israeli citizens to protest in the streets every Saturday night—is off the table.

Bibi wins.

The proposed laws have been the biggest source of political dissension. Just a few weeks ago, many reservists refused a call-up in protest of the pending law. Over the weekend, when the call-up did come, in response to a real, possibly existential threat, the reservists all turned up. Many Israelis living outside the country have flown back in the past few days to rejoin the army.

Bibi wins again.

A former senior U.S. official with long experience in the Middle East told me in an email on Wednesday, “The main thing Benny brings is credibility and rationality.” His presence “will strengthen the argument that, whatever the Israelis do in Gaza, it will be based on national interests, not on Bibi’s personal political interests.”

Bibi started this with attacks on the Palestinians, notably desecrating the Al-Aqsa Mosque less than a week before Hamas launched its attack.

Segue

h ttps://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/10/4/israeli-settlers-storm-al-aqsa-mosque-complex-on-fifth-day-of-sukkot

4 October 2023

Dozens of Israeli settlers have forced their way into the flashpoint Al-Aqsa Mosque complex in occupied East Jerusalem to mark the fifth day of Sukkot, according to the Islamic Waqf Department.

Since Sunday, thousands of settlers have been carrying out provocative tours of the mosque complex following calls by ultranationalist Jewish groups.

That’s Bibi’s faction.

Israeli settlers stormed the complex on Wednesday in groups through the al-Mughrabi Gate by the Western Wall near Al-Aqsa Mosque and attempted to perform “Talmudic rituals”, according to a Waqf official.

Police imposed age restrictions and prevented young Palestinians from entering the mosque during the incursions, witnesses told the Anadolu news agency.

Age restrictions? Why were young male Palestinians singled out for special maltreatment? To get them angry.

The Israeli army forced Palestinians to shut down their stores in the Old City to allow Jewish prayers to take place. The Palestinian Wafa news agency reported that Israeli forces prevented a number of Waqf employees from entering the holy Islamic site in the morning.

But nooo, it was Hamas who started the latest violence “for no reason at all” a couple days later.

Meanwhile, Israeli police on Wednesday arrested five people suspected of spitting towards Christians or churches in the Old City of Jerusalem and formed a special investigative team to deal with growing complaints of hostile gestures against Christians.

Have you no shame, Zionist Christians? When God said to bless those who curse you, He didn’t mean you should reward them for hating your Savior.

End segue

Then Bibi turned off his people’s border security for the retaliation, in order to maximize casualties.  Watching puppet organizations such as BLM protest in favor of Palestinians is good evidence that this political rift is not over yet… but any efforts to undo Bibi’s seizure of the courts can now be construed as undermining the war government’s stability.

What convinced his opponent to play ball? Ockham’s Razor says Gantz has his own list of deplorables to cross off during this ‘state of emergency’, but maybe he’s just taking the best offer on the table. He’s a defense minister. He’s nothing without a war to fight.

He’s also fatally stupid. Does Gantz realize who the odd man out is in that threesome of Bibi, Bibi’s ally defense minister and Bibi’s rival defense minister? If somebody needs to take some blame, guess who it’ll be… which will let Bibi discredit his political rivals.

Bibi wins again.

President Biden has sent two aircraft carrier task forces into the region. The point of doing so is to deter Hezbollah, Syria, or Iran from getting involved in the war. 

One to be sunk a la USS Liberty, and one to retaliate against Iran before any questions can be asked about who those masked men were. I’d guess that only one of the two carriers has dual-citizen senior command.

Bibi better not win that one, too.

Meanwhile, it’s disgusting that USA’s primary military concern is how to reach the battlefield. We had no enemies, not even peers in the entire Western hemisphere, but D.C. being infested with Nosy brain slugs means we struggle to keep Forever Wars going on the proverbial far side of the planet. If we need helicopters that transform into transatlantic-capable airplanes just to make the logistics of war bearable, then we’re picking fights where we don’t belong.

Thank God that Russia acknowledges it ain’t the American people playing Forever War. Would be nice if China did, too.

I’ve been monitoring the situation in Israel as best I can, me being a monolingual, provincially-minded ‘Murican who would be THRILLED to forget the Old World even exists. The Western Hemisphere has enough excitement for me.

Alas, my cuntry is a pawn of Israel and/or China… and/or Satan… the problem with buying politicians is they never stay bought… so I’ve cared to notice, unlike most major American media outlets, that Israel has been on the brink of civil war ever since Netanyahu’s Orthodox/Likud faction gained power in the November 2022 election.

Support for his coalition has plummeted since, as it consolidated power and warmongered against (COUGH, HACK, AHEM) the Palestinians… and while polls are propaganda at the best of times, IDF servicemen threatening to stand down is pretty serious.

Now, Palestine’s Hamas has just launched a very expensive and very sophisticated attack on Israel. It was unusual not in size and cost, actually, but because the Israeli border with Palestine was inexplicably unguarded while it happened.

Which. Never. Happens.

Israeli parliament votes in Netanyahu’s controversial supreme court changes

h ttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jul/24/israeli-parliament-votes-in-netanyahu-controversial-supreme-court-changes

Israel’s far-right, ultra-religious government has succeeded in passing a key part of the coalition’s judicial overhaul, seven months after introducing the legislation, in the face of widespread, sustained opposition from protesters.

The bill abolishing the “reasonableness” clause that allows Israel’s unelected supreme court to overrule government decisions was passed into law by a final vote of 64-0 in parliament on Monday. Every member of the coalition voted in favour, while opposition lawmakers abandoned the Knesset plenum in protest, shouting “Shame!” as they left.

“Alexa, how many members does the Knesset have?”

“The term “Knesset” is derived from the ancient Knesset HaGdola (Hebrew: כְּנֶסֶת הַגְּדוֹלָה) or “Great Assembly”, which according to Jewish tradition was an assembly of 120 scribes, sages, and prophets, in the period from the end of the Biblical prophets to the time of the development of Rabbinic Judaism – about two centuries ending c. 200 BCE.”

Sooo… a 64-0 vote means the winning faction had a bare majority, and the entire ‘everybody else’ stormed out in protest. Maybe they were trying to prevent a quorum.

The Sadducees controlled Israel via the court system, but this was the Pharisees de-throning them in favor of the Parliament that they control.

But the Pharisees’ control of Parliament is based on Dumbocracy, which is not reliable… and 64-56 is a very weak majority.

I checked if they had elections coming up. They do at the end of October, but seems to be local elections only.

In the Knesset, which was empty of opposition members, the mood was jubilant…

The streets around the parliament building in Jerusalem were thronged with approximately 20,000 protesters waving blue and white flags, some of whom marched to the city over four days last week. There were cries as news of the vote result filtered through the crowd, together with shouts of “we will never give up”.

VERY weak majority. The two sides are literally not talking, and only riot cops were keeping them separate.

Israel may now have a full-blown constitutional crisis on its hands, as a political watchdog group immediately moved to file a supreme court appeal on the grounds that the new law was a “de-facto elimination of the judicial branch”.

Upwards of 10,000 military reservists – some in crucial roles, such as special forces, pilots, and intelligence officers – may stop reporting for duty as promised now that the overhaul has advanced, sparking fears both inside the military and outside over the army’s operational readiness.

And wide-scale industrial action is expected after the head of Israel’s largest trade union said he would meet other union officials to discuss the possibility of a general strike – similar to a strike in March that brought the country to a standstill and forced the prime minister to temporarily freeze the overhaul.

QED, “brink of civil war”.

What might Prime Minister Netanyahu do, to BOTH cement his grip on power AND get his opposition to see him as a good guy?

The Palestinians, that Netanyahu already wanted to exterminate, and was already in process in exterminating, suddenly managed a “Pearl Harbor” soon after he gained ultimate power but was in danger of Israel disintegrating as a result?

And like America’s Pearl Harbor, “nobody” saw it coming?

It’s good to see that the Jew doesn’t treat his own people any better than he treats me. Netanyahu sabotaged Israeli border security and incited a massive attack to kill many of his own people, to ensure that he and his rivals would now have a common enemy that Netanyahu was planning to exterminate anyway.

And to judge from the reactions of his rivals thus far, this act of domestic terrorism is, indeed, keeping Israel united.

‘We Are at War’: Netanyahu Responds to Hamas Attack

h ttps://www.yahoo.com/news/war-netanyahu-responds-hamas-attack-094825655.html

By Storyful, 7 October 2023

Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said the country was “at war” following a large-scale attack on October 7.

Netanyahu said Hamas had launched a “murderous surprise attack against the State of Israel and its citizens.”

He said he had ordered a mobilization of Israel’s military reservists and that Israel would return fire with a magnitude “that the enemy has not known.”

Ten thousand reservists, am I right?

Netanyahu wins everything, and his enemies feel good about him “defending” them. Or, “avenging” them. Depends if he cares to rescue those hostages.

Biden and Netanyahu meet to discuss ‘hard issues’ as tensions simmer

h ttps://www.politico.com/news/2023/09/20/biden-netanyahu-meeting-u-s-israel-00117069

20 September 2023

President Joe Biden and Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu met Wednesday for the first time since the prime minister took office last December, placing the leaders face-to-face at a time of strained relations.

The location of the high-stakes bilateral, on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly instead of the White House, was viewed as a signal of U.S. discontentment with Israel. The president and his White House have raised alarms about Netanyahu’s efforts to weaken the power of Israel’s judicial system, a move that critics say leads the country toward authoritarianism.

Behind closed doors, the two leaders broached Netanyahu’s court reform agenda that seeks to curb the power of judges. Biden has publicly urged the prime minister to find compromise, saying that he “cannot continue down this road” amid monthslong protests against his government. But the Israeli leader has forged ahead even as his negotiations with Israeli opposition drag, moving the first major piece of legislation through the parliament earlier this summer.

U.S. sends aircraft carrier group to eastern Mediterranean in response to Hamas attack on Israel

h ttps://www.cbsnews.com/news/hamas-attack-israel-secretary-austin-american-aircraft-carrier-group-eastern-mediterranean/

8 October 2023

U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin announced Sunday that he has ordered American military ships, including an aircraft carrier and additional aircraft, to move closer to the eastern Mediterranean in response to Hamas’ unprecedented, multi-front attack on Israel. Several U.S. citizens were among those killed in the attacks, a National Security Council spokesperson confirmed Sunday after Austin’s announcement.

“Today, in response to this Hamas attack on Israel, and following detailed discussions with President Biden, I have directed several steps to strengthen Department of Defense posture in the region to bolster regional deterrence efforts,” Austin said in a news release.

The announcement came shortly after the White House confirmed that President Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke again Sunday morning. The two leaders discussed Hamas’ taking of Israeli hostages, with Mr. Biden assuring Netanyahu that U.S. assistance for the Israel Defense Forces was on its way to Israel, with more to follow over the coming days.

Not even three weeks for a full-blown policy reversal. I don’t know the details of how Benny arranged this; I only know Cui Bono.

 

Evil makes you Stupid. The Lie doesn’t just take root in your soul, it expands to cover your senses. All of reality gets filtered through the Lie.

Activist Group Tells Archaeologists Not to Assume Gender of Ancient Skeletons

h ttps://www.ancient-origins.net/news-history-archaeology/gender-ancient-skeletons-0017060

By Ashley Cowie, 26 July 2022

Self-declared “anarchist archaeologists” are warning archaeologists not to assume the gender or race of ancient skeletons because they see the categorization of sexes as discriminatory to the dead and as enhancing “white supremacy.”

Many people use the word “woke” without knowing what the word actually means.

Me: “I woke up this morning…”

She: “NO YOU DIDN’T REEEEE!!!!”

Added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2017, this African American vernacular English word describes someone who is sensitive or alert to issues of race and social justice . But has it gone too far?

The controversy has been raised by The Black Trowel Collective of multiethnic and “anarchist” archaeologists based on the notion that attributing sex and race to skeletons is fraught with issues, according to a report in the Daily Mail.

Writing on anthro{dendum} in August 2021, the team of ‘woke’ archaeologists warned against “biological essentialism” when it comes to categorizing ancient human remains. In their statement they asked professionals to be “wary of projecting our modern sex and gender identity categories onto past individuals… as this leaves aside the frequently contextual and contingent nature of gender variation.” Following this line of thought they argued that this kind of “anti-trans violence” shares a common origin with “white supremacist ideals.”

I pity Normal People, who have no idea what is going on when they read insane paragraphs like that. ATTENTION NORMIES: this is a religious war between Christ the Creator, who founded our human identity on our being made male and female, and Rebel the Deceiver who declares us to be anything but.

Yes indeed, ancient-origins.net, let’s talk about “ancient origins”.

This spiritual war is heating up for a final showdown. You want to be neutral? You don’t get to be neutral. We Christians won’t force the issue but Satan absolutely will. Which means that some of my peers in Heaven will be there only because of Oppositional Defiance disorder. Somehow, that sounds right. Logic and polite debate are observably not accomplishing the job of evangelism.

Critics of (this) latest movement, however, told the Daily Mail that such ridiculous demands would “lead to a rewriting of history and imposing current ideology ‘where it doesn’t belong’.”

That’s the idea.

Sooo… after a year or Normies waiting for this ‘trendy’ insanity to fade… 

Battle lines drawn over sex, gender at major anthropology conference amid controversial cancellation

h ttps://aim.org/2023/10/07/battle-lines-drawn-over-sex-gender-at-major-anthropology-conference-amid-controversial-cancellation/

By Just The News, 7 October 2023

North America’s largest annual gathering of anthropologists won’t get to hear why sex remains a “necessary analytic category in anthropology,” not replaceable by gender identity, because the idea is comparable to eugenics and would “cause harm” to everyone in the discipline.

That was the explanation the American Anthropological Association and Canadian Anthropology Society gave for canceling the session “Let’s Talk About Sex, Baby” scheduled for their November joint conference in Toronto.

Aww. I was SOOO looking forward to that panel, that I planned to hit an ATM on the way in.

AAA President Ramona Pérez and CAS President Monica Heller provided few details in a Sept. 25 letter notifying the sexperts their session wouldn’t happen, claiming the groups’ executive committees received requests to review its content from “numerous members.”

That wasn’t their motivation.

Segue

h ttps://elizabethweiss74.files.wordpress.com/2023/09/230925-panelist-letter.pdf

Dear panelists,

We write to inform you that at the request of numerous members the respective executive boards of AAA and CASCA reviewed the panel submission “Let’s Talk about Sex Baby: Why biological sex remains a necessary analytic category in anthropology” and reached a decision to remove the session from the AAA/CASCA 2023 conference program.

The reason the session deserved further scrutiny was that the ideas were advanced in such a way as to cause harm to members represented by the Trans and LGBTQI of the anthropological community as well as the community at large.

They added “as well as the community at large” because SJWs derive legitimacy from being self-appointed representatives of the proletariat.

This is an exploitable vulnerability. That AWFL screeching at you for being racist? Ask her what organization appointed her to represent them.

Going forward, we will undertake a major review of the processes associated with vetting sessions at our annual meetings and will include our leadership in that discussion.

“You will never again get the chance to be heard in the organization we control, as we purity-spiral it into a nihilistic crater.”

End segue

The sexperts hit back in a public letter the next day…

Yay defenders of the Faith!

…accusing the two groups of choosing to “forbid scholarly dialogue” by “an international panel concerned about the erasure of women.”

Yay defenders of the TERF!

“What are they going to cancel next[,] teaching evolution?” pediatric gender clinic whistleblower Jamie Reed, who says she learned to “sex skeletal remains” as an anthropology major, wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

Let me continue to rain Red Pills upon any Normals innocently passing by my blog. Women were deceived into thinking that Satan freeing them from men would liberate and empowerment them. In fact, Satan was destroying the husbands who defended and sheltered those women from evil.

Now that Satan doesn’t need women to betray and destroy men anymore, he’s begun erasing “female” from history, too… even, literally, from the fossil record.

No more male, no more female, and because the male is strong enough to defeat him, Satan used women to attack the missing rib err, chink in male armor. That is how Satan wins. All these lies and abuses of power are mere means to the end of destroying humanity’s willingness, then ability, to accept Christ as the Husband of Humanity.

Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminism is womens’ doomed effort to stop Satan’s taking from them what they have rightfully stolen.

h ttps://elizabethweiss74.files.wordpress.com/2023/09/open_letter_aaa_casca_meeting_cancellation.pdf

Dear Drs. Ramona Pérez and Monica Heller,

We are disappointed…

From the time of [our panel’s] acceptance until we received your letter dated September 25th, 2023, no one from the AAA or CASCA reached out to any of the panelists with concerns.

QED, the SJWs were self-appointed gatekeepers.

Our panel included a group of diverse women, one of whom is a lesbian. In addition to having three fields of anthropology presented in our panel, our panel also included anthropologists from four countries with three languages – an international panel concerned about the erasure of women.

“We were allies with you! Why can’t we still be allies?”

Answer: Satan doesn’t need you useful female idiots anymore. He gulled you into destroying & abandoning your husbands who protected you from Evil, now you’re wide open (heh) for Evil to exploit.

Yes, “let’s talk about sex”.

Your suggestion that our panel would somehow compromise “…the scientific integrity of the programme” seems to us particularly egregious, as the decision to anathematize our panel looks very much like an anti-science response to a politicized lobbying campaign. Had our panel been allowed to go forward, we can assure you that lively contestation would have been welcomed by the panelists and may even have occurred between us, as our own political commitments are diverse.

It was never about diversity. It was never about equality. It was ALWAYS, from the beginning, about Christ against Satan.

Sincerely,
Kathleen Lowrey…
Elizabeth Weiss…
Kathleen Richardson…
Michèle Sirois…
Silvia Carrasco…
Carole Hooven.

Hmm… it was never about men, either. Apparently.

Women and SJWs vie for power… SJWs winning easily… while men aren’t even in the room anymore.

Or the fossil record.

 

The Mosaic Law is MORALLY TOXIC.

When the Second Temple was destroyed in AD70, the Jews tried to hold on to the Mosaic Law, which they had never kept and could not keep, instead of following Christ, because Moses offered them this world and Jesus offered them the next one. That devotion to Moses’ promised prosperity gave the Pharisees the opportunity to shift Israel’s (no longer feasible) Mosaic loyalty to them. Moses promised worldly success and the Pharisees promised Moses 2.0, and so the Jews embraced Satan forevermore.

I fear that history is repeating. This time, for Protestants. (Catholics have mortal issues of their own at the moment.)

God Still Curses Nations

h ttps://younggospelminister.blogspot.com/2023/10/god-still-curses-nations.html

By Rev. Matt, 5 October 2023

There are Christians today who believe that God does not still judge nations as he did in the Old Testament.

Yo!

They believe that the New Covenant has now changed how this kind of judgement works. They would base this argument on a few different prepositions.

The biggest difference is that the Old Covenant didn’t work. Israel was so faithless that God repeatedly persecuted and destroyed that nation. So much for Moses’ promises of worldly success. The highest point was God rewarding David’s bastard for David’s good deeds, because as devoted as David was, God didn’t want a bloodlusting corpse factory to build His temple. He wanted somebody known for his wisdom instead.

My burns pale next to God’s.

The second biggest difference: the Old Covenant is literally dead. Remember it was between God and Moses? Well… God died. Hebrews chapter 9 is explicit that the OC is gone and the NC is the ONLY offer on the table.

Segue

Hebrews 9, partial:

For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant.

Boom. Christ’s death was the END of the Old Covenant, and with it, Moses’ offers of blessings & curses. Which is also why Israel didn’t need to listen to the Pharisees in AD70 when they could no longer offer sacrifices at a temple. All they had to do, was accept Christ’s sacrifice as the real one, and they would no longer have needed a Temple. They would have BECOME the Temple. God never left them trapped.

But no, they chose worldly success instead, and became living proof that money can’t buy love.

Matt quotes some of the Mosaic moral laws to bolster his arguments, but he neglects to mention the laws of cleanliness and separation. I’m pretty sure that Matt doesn’t take his mildewed garments to a certified Levite for cleansing.

That was one of the things that Moses offered blessings & curses about. Seriously:

Segue2

Deuteronomy 28:15,28

However, if you do not obey the Lord your God and do not carefully follow ALL his commands and decrees I am giving you today, all these curses will come on you and overtake you… The Lord will strike you with wasting disease, with fever and inflammation, with scorching heat and drought, with blight and mildew, which will plague you until you perish.

Emphases mine, as usual.

End Segue2

Back to Christ superseding Moses,

In the case of a will, it is necessary to prove the death of the one who made it, because a will is in force only when somebody has died; it never takes effect while the one who made it is living. This is why even the first covenant was not put into effect without blood. When Moses had proclaimed every command of the law to all the people, he took the blood of calves, together with water, scarlet wool and branches of hyssop, and sprinkled the scroll and all the people. He said, “This is the blood of the covenant, which God has commanded you to keep.” In the same way, he sprinkled with the blood both the tabernacle and everything used in its ceremonies. In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

It was necessary, then, for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with human hands that was only a copy of the true one; he entered heaven itself, now to appear for us in God’s presence. Nor did he enter heaven to offer himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own. Otherwise Christ would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world. But he has appeared once for all at the culmination of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself. Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.

Matt, what is your motive in wanting to return to the Mosaic Law? That inferior copy of what Christ accomplished? It didn’t save anybody, and its bribes… Moses’ promises of good results for good deeds… didn’t motivate.

Answer: you want worldly success against evildoers. Which Christ never offered.

Just like desperate Israel did before you, you’re grasping for practical results because the religion you have, feels inadequate to your needs.

Don’t do that. Do not use Christianity as a means to anything but Christ.

End segue

One particular passage I have heard people use to support this case is from Matthew 25 where Jesus says this,

“31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left” (Matt. 24:31-33).

They use this passage, and other similar passages, to argue that God is going to judge the nations on the final day, therefore, he now no longer judges nations as he did in the Old Testament.

What an odd argument, both ways. God is obviously doing a “resubdivision” of humanity in that passage, collecting all the nations into one group, then dividing them between heaven and hell irrespective of nation. He’s erasing the nations, not judging them.

It also does not account for the fact that near the end of Revelation in chapter 18 God describes the judgement of a nation/empire, Babylon, in the precise same terms and style as he pronounced judgement on nations in books like Amos, Isaiah, Jeremiah and others. Indeed, I suggest you compare Revelation 18 to Jeremiah 50-51 and you will see some incredible parallels.

Parallels? Oh sweet summer child, whoever said the Whore of Babylon is not Israel itself?

To be sure, I doubt it’ll be geographic Israel… the top geographic candidates are currently New York, London, Brussels and Rome… but which ethnic group, which nation is it, who teaches the peoples of today to worship the ancient gods of Babylon? I bet it’s one that previously lived there.

This shows us, very clearly, that nothing has changed with regards to how God judges nations from the Old Covenant to the New.

Because I follow Matt semi-regularly, I know that today’s complete failure of logic & theology is an exception, not the rule, to his normal quality.

I get it. I even sympathize. The reason “God still judges the nations” is perennially attractive to Normie conservatives, is because the implication is that we have the power to wish all the wickedness of GAE away. Don’cha know, God is stamping His foot with impatience because we haven’t yet ordered Him to act. I am also weary of evil… but that does not imply anything about my ability to stop it.

Or, maybe God made me Rambo but I didn’t notice. In which case, God is not yet impatient enough to offer me a clue how special I am. Big mistake, Boss, teaching me to be humble and control my temper instead of slaying my HUNDREDS of thousands….

Another prominent argument that such people will use, and perhaps their most powerful argument, is that God judged Israel according to the covenant that he made with them. Therefore, once that covenant was brought to completion, judging peoples as nations is no longer on the cards…

Yep.

But just because God held Israel to a specific or certain standard, does not mean that he does not judge other nations according to another or similar standard.

No, Matt. Very obviously No. God personally founded Israel with a personally selected clan, by personally leading them there and personally dictating their new government into existence. He did not merely give them a moral code to obey… He wanted them to be a metaphor of Heaven, so He gave extra laws for only that people.

Thus, Israel was a theocracy. Everybody had to participate in the State Religion. You had to bring sacrifices to the mandatory priesthood yearly, if not more often; you have to obey laws covering everything from God’s standard morality, to dressing only in certain fabrics, eating certain foods, living in assigned areas, observing specified holy days… it was a very hands-on religion, often without specified punishments, so it made sense for Moses to warn “the people” about obeying it all.

By contrast, I am not a participant in my society, by no fault of my own. Already landless and a second-class citizen with no family, and homelessness is on the horizon. No vote even, because Dumbocracy. Why would God promise me rewards/curses about my leaders mutilating children? I’m not involved in that. I’m not even allowed in the building.

Any nation that worships false gods will experience the curses that come with that. Any nation filled with disrespectful children will experience the curses that come with that.

Consequences, not curses. But there are consequences for literally everything you choose, so that’s a meaningless statement.

Certainly, “God will judge you” is not the same statement as “that’s eventually going to hurt” or “listen to your conscience”. The former implies direct action by a wrathful God.

Let me state the problem outright. Is God going to punish the innocent for the crimes of their guilty leaders, until those leaders learn to fear God? If yes then God does indeed judge nations, and He better enjoy it, because He’ll be punishing me for an eternity and a half before Governor “Hair Gel” Newsom repents of status, power and money.

If no, then God does not judge nations… and according to Hebrews 9 above, we the people die first and THEN face judgment. Meanwhile in reality, the depraved will suffer the predictable consequences of depravity, and so on.

God did not found any existing nation to have a special divine status. There is no Australian Covenant. There is no Chinese Covenant. There is not even an Israeli Covenant. That was broken with Christ’s death, as mentioned above. Israel today is nothing like Ancient Israel.

It is critically important that you Normal Christians understand that modern Israel is not Ancient Israel. There is a growing moral threat of the Noahide Code, which will offer you a ‘temporary’ substitute for Christ, just like the Babylonian Talmudists offered the Israelis a substitute for Moses. I don’t have the full details yet, perhaps it hasn’t reached Australia, but the threat has appeared in USA.

God still judges nations. But the corollary of this is that he wants to bless nations if they would receive this… The choice is ours as a nation today whether we want to flourish or decay, God wants to bless, but he cannot bless those who foolishly reject him.

The idea that Moses’ offer of worldly success is still on the table, is one of the Jews’ attack vectors against Protestant Christianity today.

How so, you ask? You can’t accept Moses’ promises without accepting Moses’ Law. The entirety of the Law, including a “Levite” Jewish priesthood. Your churches won’t even be run by Christians anymore.

And those promises were useless even back when God had bound Himself to honor them.

Defend yourself by letting go of false hope and false guilt. Our current situation is not your fault. It did not come about because of you, and it won’t go away because of anything you might possibly do. Life right now is ugly, hard and poised to get worse… but it’s not your fault. God promised us suffering in return for our loyalty, not the halls of power in return for good deeds.

That’s the New Covenant. The ONLY Covenant. And the freaky thing is, it works better than the Old ever did. God’s offer of worldly success did nothing to foster devotion among the ancient Israelis. But suffering in return for devotion? Two thousand years later, Christianity triumphantly completed its mission to evangelize the entire planet… and I daresay that our finest hour is still ahead.

There are such strange things in this world.

Grim determination in Truth’s defense > bribes for good behavior. Which is why God does NOT judge nations.

I wish conservatives would do more analysis in their reporting. Their hot takes are yelling about how Laphonza Butler of Emily’s List PAC, Governor Hair Gel’s designated replacement for Corpse Senator Feinstein, isn’t even a California resident. That was not to snub Californians. Newsom is happy to pick a Californian to represent him, err, California, because here is where all his sycophants and toadies live.

Thus, his pick WAS to snub… his house niggaz!

You might not think so at first glance, because Laphonza Butthurt is, herself, Cro-Magnon err, Colored. You must realize 1. USA is a satrapy of Israel, and 2. California is too important to be ruled by a servant race.

That’s right! It’s not me being rayciss today, it’s the Schiffs yanking on Newsom’s chain.

Gov. Newsom promised to appoint a black female to replace Feinstein after his appointment of Alex Padilla to replace Kameltoe Harris, upon her elevation to Veep Throat. That unnamed person of interest was state Rep. Barbara Lee, the only black female already campaigning for the seat. But postmortem, Newsom clarified that the “black female appointee” he promised would only be to finish Feinstein’s remaining term of barely a year.

That’s because ((Adam Schiff)) is the designated heir to ((Feinstein)) in 2024. Gotta keep the power in the Tribe! Surely, a blacktivist will understand that…

Or not.

Don’t hold back, Lee. Tell us how you feel about being snubbed for a D.C. wage slave, just because you refused to accept a term limit of ZERO!!!

h ttps://newsone.com/4740415/barbara-lee-reacts-to-laphonza-butler/

Newsom’s response was “insulting,” Lee said.

“The idea that a Black woman should be appointed only as a caretaker to simply check a box is insulting to countless Black women across this country who have carried the Democratic Party to victory election after election,” Lee responded. “Black women deserve more than a participation trophy. We need a seat at the table.”

Deserve’s got nothing to do with it. The Finklesteins will use you blacks for as long as you’re useful, then it’ll be abortion and free vaccines for the lot of you.

That ain’t how we Christians do business, but you’d rather suffer Newsom’s boot heel than our return.

On Sunday, the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) cited similar reasons to urge Newsom to appoint Lee to fill the Senate vacancy.

Butler will be the third-ever Black woman to be a U.S. Senator, following Harris and Carol Moseley Braun of Illinois.

That glass ceiling just ain’t what it used to be. I got news for you, Barbie Lee: you ain’t gonna win in 2024 either, because you’ll be running against a ((Schiff)) in an election-fortified state that’s also the testbed for the Jew World Order. Newsom offered you a graceful exit and you chose to mud-fight instead.

So, he snubbed you.

The reason Newsom chose a nonresident of California, is to ensure that La-phonics or whoever can’t leverage that brief stay into an incumbency. While he could always just fix the election, Newsom clearly took the opportunity to put you and your Black Caucus in your place at his feet.

But hey, you’re free of white Christian racism now. Not even Satan can take that from you.

…

Postscript, do you know how “Emily’s List” got its name? Not from an “Emily”. Quote from Wikipedia: “The group’s name is an acronym for “Early Money Is Like Yeast”. [Founder Ellen] Malcolm commented that “it makes the dough rise”.”

EWW! Just when you think the whores of Babylon can’t get any more disgusting.

Several Christian voices have wondered lately where everything is headed. I believe I have the answer, although the comfort it brings is questionable.

The organized Church had two purposes: to preach the Gospel to all nations and make disciples of all peoples. That has been accomplished in our lifetimes… the lives of we who’ve watched the newfangled Internet become the final word in whether the entire planet is aware of Christ’s teachings and offer of salvation.

At the same time, modern telecommunication have eliminated the protections, imposed and lasting since the Tower of Babel, against humanity uniting against God (again). It’s not a coincidence that world government swiftly followed world telecommunications.

Clever of God, to have the Church’s final success also be the key to the unification of Satan’s kingdom.

Which is where we are today. God is allowing the organized Church to collapse because it has served His purpose and now is obsolete. Everybody alive has had their chance to make their decision regarding Christ. Continue attending church if you have a decent one, by all means, and of course never abandon the faith. But I suspect that restoration will not be our decision to make.

The next phase, per prophecy, is God crushing the rebellion that He has patiently tolerated for millennia. No more fence-sitters, no more ignorants… When everybody has taken a side, it’s time for the showdown.

Thus, wickedness is spiking because God has chosen to quit restraining it, so it can unify into a convenient last stand for the Ages. Part of this, unfortunately, is that most of us will soon be murdered by the wicked; God’s reward to us for accomplishing the task He gave us for the past two thousand years. Beheaded, most likely.

It doesn’t look like a reward on this side of mortality, but we have both God’s guarantee and Christ’s example. I don’t intend to go quietly, of course, and neither should you… a child molester is a wonderful thing to waste… but that helps explain God not communicating to us. He’s allowing the devil some wins, in order to set him up on the Cosmic Bulls-Eye, but He can’t tell us to give up while doing so.

(It helps to think of Father God as a storyteller. An author will create a dangerous villain and give him many successes, but that never means the author approves of what the villain does. The villain is created to serve a purpose, and when that purpose is completed, the villain will… MUST… be properly disposed of. Looking at YOU, Clown World!)

Not all of us will die. Some will be spared/raptured so Christ can build His coming kingdom, since the dead can’t have kids and don’t live twice.

We saints are not needed for that ultimate battle. We aren’t equipped for it. God intends to handle it Personally and on a much more supernatural level than our mortal limitations can process. As God put it in Psalm 82, speaking to the current Principalities of Earth, “even though you are gods, you will die like men“.

Many Christians do not realize that Christ Jesus is hardcore, the O.G. Angel of Death. He was gentle to humans, yes, but not to demons or their allies. When He famously spoke of the gates of Hell, he was speaking of crushing His enemies’ defenses. Not of taking body blows from doorposts.

Move over, Conan. Take a seat next to Alvin York and Carlos Hathcock, and watch how a real God of War takes out the trash. Christ will simply order His enemies to die.

But that fight will be to God’s glory, not ours. Our glory will be of a different sort… impressive only to the One Who Matters.

After that… somewhat one-sided… battle, will be Christ Victorious upon the Earth, and happy times for another thousand years before God finally shuts down this Saint Production Line that we call reality.

Satan is ascendant and the Church is fading, because the Age of Mercy is drawing to an end. Next up, will be the Age of Justice.

The Totalitarian believes that laws are whims spoken into power. Having rejected the notion of objective morality, they enthrone the State as the only source of subjective power. And then cling to the halls of power until they shit their diapers and stroke out on the floor at the ripe old age of Methuselah’s granddaddy, because giving up control of the State would enable their enemies to do unto them. Not that Christians are the vindictive sort… we don’t have to be… the Totalitarian helpfully assumes that we’re just like him.

Trump is not that vindictive sort either, would that he was, but in New York City’s haste to destroy him, they undid a defense that they themselves will need in the near future.

More than that, however, is the Totalitarian is a coward at heart. He is reluctant to cross lines until the Narrative provides him with a precedent. Like demons, Totalists feel agonizing pain when they transgress into sunlight.

Trump sued under New York law extending statute of limitations in sexual assault civil cases

h ttps://www.jurist.org/news/2022/11/trump-sued-under-new-york-law-extending-statute-of-limitations-in-sexual-assault-civil-cases/

By Madeline Bruce, 25 November 2022

New York’s Adult Survivor’s Act went into effect Thursday, allowing survivors of sexual assault or abuse who were 18 years or older at the time to file a civil lawsuit against their abuser past the state’s statute of limitations. The act was signed into law by Governor Kathy Hochul in May and amends the statute of limitations for civil actions related to sexual offenses committed against adults in the State of New York. Under the act, civil actions which were previously barred by the statute of limitations are now revived.

That was the most blatant example of ex poste facto legislation that I’ve yet seen. The entire point of limitations is that trials become so difficult as the years pass, that prosecution becomes impossible. Or defense, if the burden of evidence is shifted upon the accused.

Survivors now have a one-year window to file the allowed civil actions for cases of sexual assault for which they previously could not file suit past the time limitation placed on the crime.

One hour would have been sufficient.

E. Jean Carroll, a writer for Elle magazine, Thursday filed an amended lawsuit against former President Donald Trump, minutes after New York’s Adult Survivor’s Act went into effect. She previously filed a defamation suit against Trump in 2019 for statements he made against her when she publicly accused him of sexual assault.

In the amended lawsuit, Carroll sues Trump for battery regarding the alleged rape in 1995 and defamation regarding the alleged false and degrading statements he made against Carroll on social media and in the press in the years following her claim that he raped her.

Carroll brings civil action under the act against Trump for her alleged rape committed by Trump in a New York City department store dressing room in 1995.

That would be a very risky place to commit a violent sex crime. Ah, but she was only civilly rayyyped, not criminally rayyyped.

What’s my point? Now that the defense of limitations has been breached by the leaders of the Narrative, the second-tier minions rush in.

Archdiocese of Baltimore files for bankruptcy, braces for expected wave of sex abuse lawsuits

h ttps://www.theblaze.com/news/archdiocese-of-baltimore-files-for-bankruptcy-braces-for-expected-wave-of-sex-abuse-lawsuits

By Collin Jones, 1 October 2023

The Archdiocese of Baltimore made an announcement on Friday that it has filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. This comes after the institution expects to face dozens of sex abuse lawsuits.

Did Archbishop William Lori get caught diddling kids? Nope… it’s the return of the Cold War!

There was a 456-page investigation that goes into detail about 158 teachers, clergy, seminarians, and deacons within the Archdiocese of Baltimore who had allegedly assaulted more than 600 children going back to the 1940s. The document was compiled by the Maryland Attorney General.

They are now prosecuting the living for the alleged crimes of the dead.

Additionally, a Maryland law that was passed in April will reportedly see the statute of limitations lifted to allow for new claims about old acts of abuse to be investigated. The law was passed by the General Assembly.

Media partners at the Baltimore Banner noted that attorneys and victims of sexual abuse had planned to move forward with dozens, perhaps hundreds, of lawsuits against the archdiocese, but the recent bankruptcy announcement has brought litigation to a screeching halt.

The litigants stopped because they won. Lori is a gutless, Godless yellowbelly.

Archbishop William Lori said that the religious organization’s decision would allow “the Archdiocese both to equitably compensate victim-survivors of child sexual abuse and ensure the local Church can continue its mission and ministries.”

“I acknowledge that no apology, compensation, or knowledge of our present-day accountability measures will necessarily lead to healing for victim survivors, nor repair the harm they suffered,” Lori wrote. “To be sure, conversations with victim-survivors have taught me that neither I nor the Archdiocese can undo what was taken from them…”

He announced the lawless accusations were legitimate, assumed criminal and civil liability for actions that he couldn’t possibly be responsible for, and then…

“Chapter 11 is one of two types of bankruptcy. With an approved plan under Chapter 11, the Archdiocese will be reorganized, victim-survivors will be equitably compensated, and the Church will continue its mission and ministries,” Archbishop Lori said. “This is different from Chapter 7 bankruptcy where organizations sell all of their assets to satisfy creditors and shutter their doors.”

…Lori voluntarily surrendered control of the Archdiocese to the State. Without a fight.

I understand why the Totalitarian does what he does. His behavior is consistent, predictable and in the short term, beneficial.

I don’t understand how every enemy of the Totalist finds joy in defeat. They can’t all be closet pedophiles parachuted into halls of power. From clergy accepting false accusations at face value, to law enforcement nobly doing nothing at all about crime, to doctors knowingly poisoning children in fear of Fauci the Midget’s nonspecific displeasure, it’s getting quite tedious.

On the upside, we are now free to accuse these people of murdering Christ. The statue of limitations on the events of A.D.33 expired some time ago, and today’s SJWs weren’t alive back then, but that is… QED… a quick legislative fix.

 

I found an excellent dissertation on narcissism here:

Part 1

Part 2

An extract is presented here, for me to riff off on my concept of the Hollow Soul.

The basic mechanism

As previously discussed, lack of self-consciousness creates a perception or definition of self which has three main properties:

1. 1. The definition of self is heavily influenced by others.
   2. The self is “fluid” – i.e. there is poor correction mechanism for the self, and correction is dependent on others.
   3. The definition of self is unrealistically positive.

This results in a “model of self” – which defines both self-perception and the perception of others. The model must always be maintained in such a way that self-perception remains high in relation to others.

The basic internal narcissistic mechanism essentially has two main components: the maintenance of this model, and how emotional factors are involved in its maintenance. The two traits thus come together and form the narcissistic behavior pattern. This can be described in the following sequential fashion:

Mainly caused by low self-consciousness:

1. 1. The narcissist has developed an internal model of self and others.
   2. This model is unsustainable under normal conditions.
   3. The model is unsustainable because it is simply wrong. It is wrong about the narcissist and wrong about other people.
   4. Because the model is wrong, it lacks robustness against the environment. It is inherently fragile.
   5. Because it is wrong, it will constantly clash with reality (mostly other people).
   6. Because the model has been emotionally internalized, it must be protected from reality – constantly and at all cost.

Mainly caused by emotional factors:

1. 1. The incorrect internal model will take on very strong emotional properties. Self-perception is intensely connected to emotions – negative and positive.
   2. Any value or belief system which is connected to the high sense of self will become a part of the internal model, and will be intensely connected to emotions much like the sense of self.
   3. Any outside stimulus which moves the model up or down will result in a very strong emotional response.
   4. When the model is reinforced (self-perception moved upward), it will result in what is basically an emotional “high.”
   5. When the model is challenged (self-perception moved downward), it will result in an emotional low – even an emotional crash.
   6. This will create what can be described as addiction. The narcissist will seek reinforcement of his model to get the emotional high, using whatever tools he has. This will become compulsive and tends to escalate over time.
   7. This will also result in elaborate defensive tactics to prevent challenge to the model – to avoid the emotional crash.

In other words: the incorrect internal model will take on such emotional properties that its maintenance and defense will create a state of emotional dependence which is similar to drug addiction. This means that the reinforcement-seeking behavior becomes compulsive, like the next fix for a drug addict. This dependence is not figurative – it is a real chemical dependence based on real neurotransmitters (rather than drugs which simulate neurotransmitters).

The narcissist’s behavior has two main goals; to receive reinforcement for the model (emotional high) and to avoid challenge to the model (emotional crash). For this he has two “tactical sets” of behaviors – which are basically tool sets of sorts. One set is designed to affirm or elevate the self and reinforce the model; the other one is designed to protect the model from challenges. The use of these tools differs between narcissists, mainly depending on how far out on the distribution of the two traits they are. That will be discussed later.

My main takeaway is that the narcissist is a person who defines himself by his external environment… inverted solipsism, perhaps… and then controls his environment to define himself as he wishes.

I have some trouble with “narcissist” being hung on that, because there are two subforms of narcissist here: The one who chooses his identity based on the social “climates” available to him, and the one who manipulates his social climate for optimal results. The latter is appropriately called a narcissist, but the former probably doesn’t think highly of himself. Instead of defending his own ego, he rents a well-defended ego.

It’s comparable to the Venezuelans being imported to exterminate white America. The Venezuelans will be extremely loyal to the American Regime because their survival in this country, err, economic zone depends upon them being extremely loyal. They might not enjoy the resulting self-image of foot soldiers for child molesters, but if they had chosen to be proud of who they were, they’d still be in Venezuela.

My concept of the Hollow Soul is a person who rejects self-ownership and self-identity, and consequently, tries eternally to fill the resulting void with other peoples’ identities. Or ideological identities. He is a pawn ever in search of a king to purchase and use him… as livestock.

Narcissists often select “pre-brainwashed” or “pre-broken” spouses that can be controlled and molded more easily. Narcissistic men often pick insecure women with already broken self, and female narcissists often pick emotionally damaged men, or men who are extreme “beta-males” and content to live on their knees.

This explains why every single Communist effort is explicitly and furiously suicidal. Everything about a  person’s identity is projected outward… the past and the soul are both straight-up deleted as quickly as possible. It is not that Communism is rabidly atheistic. It knows that God is real and seeks to separate humanity from him.

Humanity thus emptied, can be jammed full of any lie imaginable, and the people will busy themselves choosing between competing social “climates” rather than developing who they are.

None of my readers are in danger of becoming the active narcissist, but the passive narcissist is a trap we can still fall into.

An example of this comes from the prepper community. Reasonable precautions against the coming hardships are appropriate, but there is a subset of preppers who have defined their entire lives in preparation for “the Collapse”. They have made life-changing choices that they would not have, had America never been prostituted to the Monster From Jekyll Island.

That is a spiritual death, a hollowing of the soul away from who they should have been, in favor of a probably-false guarantee of material success.

If circumstances for a life change upon you, that is not your fault.

If the choices you make are the choices you’d have made regardless, no harm done. If you would’ve been a gun nut anyway, there’s no harm in being a gun nut preparing for the Apocalypse.

But if you’re an artistic type and feel obliged to redefine yourself as a gun nut preparing for the Apocalypse, then that will harm your soul even if it preserves your life.

Another observation to be made is that a person who depends upon a social climate for identity, can put very little effort into creating and refining that identity. This may be the underlying reason for consumerism.

Or to be pithy, once you have nothing left to defend except your next meal, you’ll be tempted to embrace oblivion.

A third observation is that technology has made laziness more accessible than ever in history. I feel the temptation at my work to not improve myself professionally. That is not at all to mean continuing education (ugh). Useless seminars about the latest toys and software repackaged to be sold as new again, no. I mean, figuring out what other people do with my work, for example… a VERY interesting question… and how to prevent my field from being Converged into an unholy marriage of Autocad and lactation rooms.

Bureaucrats think that mandating education credits is how to ensure I stay competent. Me asking myself the interesting questions, and bothering to look up the answers, is how I stay competent. But after I’m forced to check the social-climate boxes, it’s hard to find the energy for legit self-improvement.

I can always sit back and have my identity spoon-fed to me. In fact, the active narcissist insists.

Self-discipline, self-pacing and self-ownership are incredibly hard qualities for most people to develop. And yet, I think those qualities are exactly what will defeat our Current Year’s Regime more effectively than hot lead in Reptiloids. They aren’t after our lives, after all; not until they’re done with our souls.

Both the passive and the active narcissist have no internal moral compass. This is a situation manufactured by participation awards and echo-chamber social media. The passive types end up needing the active, abusive, gaslighting narcissists to give their lives structure. Which is what we saw in the Covid Plandemic; everybody’s continuing education turned out to be repeating whatever they were told. “Handshakes spread disease. Christianity is unhealthy. Human contact is obsolete unless you’re looting a Walmart.” Actual advice given by licensed professionals!

To oppose that, choose your own structure, your own priorities, then make them happen, and that will give you something to defend. That is how you become you and not an interchangeable, bug-eating mammal in the pod.

Bonus, it’s way more fun to be you than anybody else.

The ride never stops for Gamergaters. Some people think the young are hopeless; I hear stories like this and think they’re rather precocious. I’ve grown a bit too technophobic in my old age to enjoy A-list games anymore, not to mention that the very real (and very First-World) problem of dopamine addiction means I can’t do the spastic FPS shooters like I used to. (I hit bottom during Borderlands 2 and have been mostly clean since then, but I sometimes load up Prey for a quick, shotgun-based soap opera.)

Headlines of sociopathic bankster CEOs debating how best to LITERALLY addict people to their games, for optimal wealth extraction, doesn’t help. Maybe I’m just waiting for Doom the LARP to hit the streets. Ahem.

But I keep it real with my roots, even if I don’t play the games anymore. Here is the Starfield Shenanigan for my readers who are even less gamer-y than me. We start with early access, because nobody releases finished games in Current Year. Finished games cannot be sold a second time… when they’re, you know, finished.

Streamer meltdowns and mass refunds: Players boycott Starfield over pronouns controversy

h ttps://www.sportskeeda.com/esports/news-streamer-meltdowns-mass-refunds-players-boycott-starfield-pronouns-controversy

By Richik “anarkiddie” Bhattacharya, modified 4 September 2023

Starfield’s Early Access launch a couple of days ago has already seen a number of controversies, with the latest prompting players to mass refund the game and streamers having meltdowns, all because it allows them to choose their preferred pronouns during character selection. A clip of YouTuber HeelVsBabyface ranting about the customization option has gone viral, with Dr DisRespect also revealing that he was rejected by Bethesda for his past comments.

Ahh, I’m home among my people once again! With proper English names such as anarkiddie and Dr Disrespect, not Bhattacharya.

Many players seem to be refunding Starfield because it allows pronoun choice.

Or as HVB put it,

“You take everything we love and shovel your dogsh*t ideology.”

What triggered that? (GunnerQ ducks)

For those wondering, Starfield allows players to select their preferred pronoun when starting a new character, which has ruffled many feathers.

That is the entire complaint, that has seen half the Legionnes Gamergateur demanding refunds and boycotts against publisher Bethesda for nearly a month solid now.

When you make a new character in Starlight, an open-ended exploration game comparable to Bethesda’s older and beloved works such as the Elder Scrolls Oblivion and Skyrim… there is one point at which you can choose gender pronouns independently of your choice of gender.

That’s it. Blink and you miss it. Gender, Wokeness or other Social Justice dogsh*t plays no further point in the entire game.

Many [Twixter] accounts have been calling out Bethesda for including it in the game. Meanwhile, people on the other side are making fun of those demanding refunds and boycotts.

[HVB:] “I love nothing more than to be dragged out at every f*cking conceivable opportunity so that you can f*cking current-day us. Sorry, you wanted to get immersed in our world? Guess what, f*cking pronouns! F*cking gender ambiguity! F*cking current-day Californian sh*t, because that’s what we f*cking know because we are boring. We’re so, f*cking, boring! We can’t see past our own f*cking reflections, that’s the level of our narcissim at the Bethesda Western Gaming Company.”

[ReviewTechUSA on Twixter, 2 September 2023:] I’m jealous tbh. I want to live in @heelvsbabyface’s world where life is so easy that pronouns in a character creation screen cause me to rage like this.

So, what do you think? Is this an overreaction to a mere microaggression (GunnerQ ducks again), or did HVB and friends correctly, and instantly, diagnose an SJW infiltration?

One video-streamer that I have great esteem for, Upper Echelon Games (UEG), believed it an overreaction.

“You can call the game dogsh*t and you’d have valid reasons to do it. [Some bugs, some balance issues, quantity over quality of explorable areas.] Likewise, you could call the game a masterpiece after exploring it for 100 hours, and you’d have valid reasons too. [UEG liked the game overall but is reserving final judgment.] But it’s not a game that deserves to be the focal point of a console war, a political powder keg and a social media gamer civil war of sorts, all at once, at the same time.”

Today, I disagree with him. This is the Mockingbird Mechanic I coined in my preceding post. Here’s a game that UEG wants to like, but oops, there’s just a little Narrative in it “for no reason at all”.  In truth, that’s exactly why it was included, in such an inoffensive way… so he would accept an evil that he would normally be opposed to.

Therefore, the correct response is total war for the first offense, no matter how trivial that offense.

Which of us is right?

Fortunately, there’s a simple litmus test to determine whether the inclusion of gender pronouns was malicious. Remove the option with a post-release, voluntary mod. Easily and quickly done.

Behold, the long knives immediately came out.

Starfield mod that removes pronoun options has been banned by NexusMods

One of the biggest PC mod repositories in the world, NexusMods, has banned a mod that lets Starfield players remove all mentions of pronouns.

The mod was presumably crafted after a tiny number of perpetually angry snowflakes kicked off because Bethesda had adopted the inclusive practice of enabling players to select their pronouns for their sci-fi adventure.

[Quote from NexusMods:] “It’s not a ‘political statement’ or an ‘alignment to one side or the other in the culture war’. We stand for diversity and inclusion in our community and the removal of diversity, while appealing to many, does not promote a positive modding community.”

“Frankly, we are not sad to see them go,” NexusMods said.

That settles the question. The inclusion of gender pronouns was malicious.

The ironic part is that the mod in question removed all gender; your character became they/them.

UEG has a tough choice to make. He just wants to play games, as do all us Gamers. The only way that we’ll be allowed to play the games we enjoy, however, is an absolute-zero-tolerance, first-strike-you’re-out policy with respect to Social Justice.

EXACTLY AS THEY ALREADY DO TO US.

We cannot coexist. They are agreement-incapable. They will demand endless concessions while making none of their own, until they allow us no game to play but The Last Of Us Part Twat.

I grant that NexusMods is not Bethesda, but I’m not going to wait and see if Bethesda voluntarily removes the gender option. It’s too late for apologies. They knew what they were doing. Heck, I can see their thought balloon: “Normal people have some tolerance, but SJWs have none. Therefore, since we can’t please both sides, let’s offend the Normies then walk it back if we have to.” Every single time. Until Normie becomes equally easily offended, and equally unforgiving.

God bless these Gamergaters who have already figured out the game! They didn’t write the rules; they’re just playing to win.
