Resist the Beast

But the snake (devil) said to the woman: “You certainly will not die! God knows well that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened and you will be like gods, who know good and evil.” (Genesis 3;5-6)

How clever are the words of the devil? He gently undermined God by saying, “You certainly will not die” and promised Eve she would be elevated to a god-like status. As a result, she obeyed him, ate the forbidden fruit, and gave one to Adam. Today the devil is the same clever liar, manipulating humans to accumulate more power and control, not only over individuals, but over society at large. It is every Catholic’s duty to identify his traps and educate others.

Dear brothers and sisters!
Our Lord, Jesus Christ suffered and died on cross to free us from the devil’s chains, but first He instructed us how to avoid falling back into slavery: “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but underneath are ravenous wolves” (Matthew 7:15)

Today He grieves, because every two years many of his children are voting for politicians without examining their morals and character. Many Catholics are satisfied when a candidate claims, “I am for the little people, those without a voice.” Through this deceit, the wolves get elected. But who pays attention after the election is over? The wolves feast, and at the next election they put on the same act, getting elected again and again. But our Lord said, “By their fruits you will know them… Just so, every good tree bears good fruit, and a rotten tree bears bad fruit.” The devil’s wolves do his bidding, twisting morals and killing souls. This rotten tree has born its fruit and has transformed the United States from a country built on Christian values into a pagan abomination.

Jesus proclaimed, “Blessed are those who hear the word of God and observe it.” (Luke 11:28) and He also said, “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name? Did we not drive out demons in your name? Did we not do mighty deeds in your name?’  Then I will declare to them solemnly, ‘I never knew you. Depart from me, you evildoers.’” (Matthew 7:21-23)

Obedience is the path to salvation. For Catholics who failed to follow the will of God in choosing their representatives, the future looks bleak, but there is a simple solution, there is hope.
In 1917, in Cova da Iria, Fátima, Portugal, the Blessed Virgin Mary “a Lady more brilliant than the Sun”, showed Herself seven times to three shepherd children – Lúcia dos Santos, Francisco and Jacinta Marto.
The message given by the Blessed Virgin Mary in Fatima summed up as a passionate appeal for the world’s conversion through devotion to Her Immaculate Heart. This devotion was to be manifested in the Communion of Reparation of First Saturdays.

On December 10, 1925, the Virgin Mary appeared to Sister Lucia (Lúcia Santos, one of the visionaries of Our Lady of Fátima) at the convent in Pontevedra, Spain, and by Her side, elevated on a luminous cloud, was the Child Jesus. According to Lucia, Mary requested again the institution of the Devotion of the First Saturdays in reparation to Her Immaculate Heart. Then She promised to assist at the hour of death with the grace necessary for salvation those who, with the intention of making reparation to Her, will practice the this devotion on the first Saturday of five consecutive months.

Jesus said to St. Faustina Kowalska; “every conversion of a sinful souldemands sacrifice.“ (Divine Mercy in My Soul 961)
Dear brothers and sisters, there are five first Saturday’s prior to the election on November 5th, 2024. You may offer the First Saturday Devotion yourselves, encourage friends and relatives to do the same, and ask your pastor to organize it in your parish. If this devotion spreads it may draw in the fallen away Catholics and gain them the graces necessary for salvation.
To practice the First Saturday Devotions:

⦁    Go to the Sacrament of Confession. While preparing for the Sacrament, in addition to contrition    for sin, one must intend to make reparation for the offences against the Immaculate Heart of Mary. (You may receive the Sacrament of Confession up to eight days prior to the First Saturday, provided that no mortal sin is committed between Confession and the First Saturday.)
⦁    Attend Holy Mass on the First Saturday of the month.
⦁    Receive Holy Communion, offering up the benefits thereof in reparation for offenses against the Immaculate Heart.
⦁    Recite five decades of the Holy Rosary, including the Fatima prayer after each decade.
⦁    Keep Our Lady company for fifteen minutes while meditating with her on the mysteries of the Rosary.
God bless you and God bless America

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

From the first sentence in the Preamble to the Declaration of Independence, we can conclude that the American “Revolutionary” War (1775-83) was not about a radical overthrow of the existing order, but about reforming it according to God’s laws and eliminating abuses and corruption.

When the 2023 MN legislative session ended on May 22nd, Governor Walz signed into law various bills.

Among these bills: HF 1 / SF 1 and HF 366 / SF 165 – providing taxpayer financing and legal protection for Abortion, HF 146 / SF 63 – allows the government to mutilate children without parental consent, HF 100 / SF 73 – legalizing recreational Marijuana, HF 15 / SF 1117 – allows the state to confiscate firearms without due process under the law, alarming many Minnesotans.

Overall, the laws enacted at this legislative session have the devil’s mark, even those which may appear harmless have the power to corrupt people’s hearts and minds. Some of them encroach on basic human rights granted by God, others promote bad behavior, and some do both.

A small group of Catholic Minnesotans seeking to solve the present situation started Make Minnesota Catholic. This is their opening message for Minnesotans.

Dedicated to converting Minnesota to Catholicism

For the average person this sounds like a dream requiring billions of dollars, billboards, radio and TV commercials, alongside an army of missionaries and volunteers going from house to house knocking on doors. A full-scale propaganda campaign.

Nothing is further from the truth. It appears impossible to man, but nothing is impossible for God. No money is necessary, only the good will of Catholics.

On July 13th, 1917 at the third apparition in Fatima, the Blessed Virgin Mary announced the requirements for conversion:

“If people do what I ask, many souls will be saved and there will be peace. The war [WW I] is going to end. But if people do not stop offending God, another, even worse one will begin in the reign of Pius XI. When you shall see a night illuminated by an unknown light know that this is the great sign that God gives you that He is going to punish the world for its many crimes by means of war, hunger, and persecution of the Church and the Holy Father. To prevent it, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart and the Communion of reparation on the first Saturdays. If people attend to my requests, Russia will be converted and the world will have peace.”

Skeptics will say that Our Lady was talking about Russia only, but the recent legislation passed through the Minnesota Congress and signed into law by our Governor proves that the Communist agenda has found a home in our state. Since the Blessed Virgin Mary was addressing the spreading errors of Communism, Her remedy is also applicable to Minnesota. If done the way Our lady has asked, the conversion of Minnesota to Catholicism will happen.

“When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will realize that I AM, and that I do nothing on my own, but I say only what the Father taught me. The one who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, because I always do what is pleasing to him.” (John 8; 28-19)

True meekness of heart is the humble acceptance of the will of God and carrying the crosses He has prepared for us.

By Their Fruits You Will Know Them

Maximilien de Robespierre was a French lawyer and statesman who became one of the best-known, influential, and controversial figures of the French Revolution. Robespierre played an important role in the fall of the French monarchy on the 10th of August 1792 and the summoning of a National Convention.

As a member of the Estates-General, the Constituent Assembly, and the Jacobin Club, he campaigned for universal manhood suffrage, the right to vote for people of color, Jews, actors, domestic staff, for the abolition of slavery in France and its colonies and ending French involvement in the Atlantic slave trade. He was an outspoken advocate for male citizens without a political voice, for their unrestricted admission to the National Guard, to public offices, and to the commissioned ranks of the army, for the right to petition and the right to bear arms in self-defense. His goal was to create a unified France, where each man had equality before the law, to abolish prerogatives and to defend the principles of direct democracy. Judging by the issues he stood for, this fighter for social justice resembled the American Founding Fathers. In July 1793, this opponent of the death penalty was appointed as a member of the Committee of Public Safety, which had been reorganized into the Revolutionary Tribunal. Under his management, within one year during the Reign of Terror over 300,000 were arrested, more than 17,000 people were executed and at least 10,000 died in prison without trial. To understand what happened, let us look into his life story.

Maximilien François Marie Isidore de Robespierre was the eldest of four children, born on the 6th of May, 1758, in Arras, in the old French province of Artois into a family of lawyers. His grandfather, also named Maximilien de Robespierre, established himself in Arras as a lawyer, as did his father François Maximilien Barthélémy de Robespierre.

Robespierre was only six years old when his mother died after giving birth to a stillborn daughter in July 1764. Abandoned by his father, he was taken in and raised by his grandparents, who made the necessary preparations to secure his brilliant future in the family trade. And brilliant he was, at the age of eight he started attending the middle school (collège of Arras). Two years later he received, on the recommendation of bishop Louis-Hilaire de Conzié, a scholarship at the Collège Louis-le-Grand in Paris. In 1776 he was awarded first prize for rhetoric. Then he studied law for three years at the Sorbonne. Upon his graduation on the 31th of July, 1780, he received a special prize of 600 livres for exemplary academic success and personal good conduct. On the 15th of May, 1781, Robespierre gained admission to the bar. In March of the next year, the bishop of Arras, Hilaire de Conzie, appointed him a judge at the Salle Épiscopale, a court with jurisdiction over the provostship of the diocese. This appointment gained him prestige at Arras. In 1783, at the age of 25 was admitted to the Arras Academy and soon became its chancellor and later its president. His 1784 essay on the question of whether the relatives of a condemned criminal should share his disgrace, awarded him a medal Academy of Metz. At the same time his private practice providing him with comfortable income gained him the reputation of a lawyer for the poor. The concepts of individual responsibility and being charitable are essential in Christianity, so in 18^th century Catholic France the positions he took increased his support among the bishops, clergy, and the general community. He would take high profile, unusual cases, such as a case involving a lightning rod in St. Omer, thereby gaining national recognition and the status of a local celebrity.

When the Estates General/ National Assembly was called by King Louis XVI in 1789, Maximilian Robespierre was selected as one of 16 deputies for Pas-de-Calais department. He quickly became the most frequent speaker in assembly. In five years, between the 5th of May 1789, the first day of the assembly, and the 27th of July 1794, the day of his death, he made some 900 speeches, on average one every other day. In his first speech on June 6th, he attacked the church hierarchy, the same hierarchy which had sponsored his education and supported his brilliant career. The pretense had begun to drop, revealing that the actions and positions he had taken over the years were only a facade to fulfill his ambitions.

He became a member of the “Society of the Friends of the Constitution” also known as the Jacobin Club (also running under the banner of Equality before the law) and quickly climbed the ladder. On the 31st of March, 1790, was elected as their president. On the 19th of June he was elected secretary of the National Assembly. As powerful member of Assembly he was the loudest voice for abolishing slavery, but as a lawyer he knew that slavery was already illegal in France. Over four hundred years ago, in 1315, king Louis X had published a decree abolishing slavery and proclaiming that any slave setting foot on French ground should be freed.

As an elected representative, he supported a direct democracy, a form of democracy in which the electorate decides on policy initiatives without elected representatives.

When on the 11th of June 1791, Robespierre was elected as “public accuser” he became an outspoken advocate for male citizens “without a political voice,” for their unrestricted admission to the National Guards, gendarmerie, police reserve force, commissioned army ranks, and public offices, which were reserved for citizens with good reputations. In his speeches he provided a justification for civilian armament. These positions envisioning the poor as victims of the existing system gained Robespierre their support and created the Sans-culottes (“without breeches”), which were an armed mob of individuals with questionable character used to enforce revolutionary laws and eliminate opposition.

In July 1793 when he was appointed to the Committee of Public Safety and organized the Revolutionary Tribunal, all the principles of democracy and equality before the law were fully swept aside and his narcissistic personality took control. His army of Sana-culottes wore dirty, ragged clothing, but he always had his hair powdered, curled, and perfumed. When the people around him were dying from starvation, eating scraps, he was served at the table first. An unwavering supporter of free speech was sentencing to death those who had objections.

He became so arrogant, that in July 1794, in his pursuit for absolute power, he announced a new wave of “purification” in the Committee of General Security, the Committee of Public Safety and members of Convention. He was arrested and executed on 28 July 1794.

Today we have many narcissists like Robespierre among us. Using the same slogans of equality, liberty, democracy and social justice, they gain more influence, accumulate more power and become more oppressive. Not by their words, nor their speeches, but by the rotten fruits of their works should they be known. They need to be exposed, for our good and their own before they become another Maximilian Robespierre, Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Pol Pot, Fidel Castro, Hugo Chávez, etc.

Social Justice Warrior

Robin Hood is a legendary, heroic outlaw originally depicted in English folklore and subsequently featured in literature and film. According to legend, he was a highly skilled archer and swordsman of noble birth who fought in the Crusades before returning to England to find his lands taken by the Sheriff.

On October 2nd, 1187, Jerusalem was captured by Saladin, Sultan of the Islamic Empire of Egypt and Syria. Christians lost access to the Holy City, so when in 1189 Richard the Lionheart, a great military leader and warrior, the third of five sons of King Henry II of England, assumed the throne he swore an oath to renounce his past wickedness. To show himself worthy of Kingship he started to amass money to raise an army of crusaders. He spent most of his father’s treasury, sold the right to hold official positions, lands, and other privileges to those interested in them, and even agreed to free King William I of Scotland from his oath of subservience to Richard in exchange for £6,500. In 1190 he left England and joined Philip II of France and Frederick I of Holy Roman Empire in an attempt to secure passage for Christian pilgrims to the Holy Land and Jerusalem.

In Richard’s absence, his younger brother Prince John forced himself on England. As the new ruler he imposed high taxes on the population with exemptions for his own supporters, and prosecuted those who couldn’t pay them. Often, he would confiscate their property and brutally crush any form of resistance. Many people fled their homes to seek safety in the hard to access parts of Sherwood Forest.

Meanwhile, in 1192 after recapturing the important cities of Acre and Jaffa, King Richard forced Saladin to sign a truce providing unarmed Christian pilgrims and merchants access to Jerusalem which ended the Third Crusade. King Richard, being ill with Arnaldia, left for England on 9 October 1192. He sailed from Corfu with four attendants, but his ship was wrecked near Aquileia, forcing him onto a dangerous land route through central Europe. He was captured shortly before Christmas 1192 near Vienna by Leopold of Austria. The detention of a crusader was contrary to public law and on these grounds Pope Celestine III excommunicated Duke Leopold. Thus Leopold, on 28 March 1193, handed over Richard to the Holy Roman Emperor Henry VI. The emperor demanded that 150,000 marks (about three times the annual income for the English Crown) be delivered to him before he would release the King. At the same time John, Richard’s brother, and King Philip of France offered 80,000 marks to Henry VI to hold Richard prisoner until fall 1194. Finally, on 4 February 1194 King Richard was released. This is why in the story, Sir Robin of Locksley returned to England from the Crusade long before King Richard. As a just, honorable young noble man he quickly got in trouble with the henchmen of Prince John, the Sheriff of Nottingham. Forced to seek refuge in the forest he joined other outlaws like himself and became their leader. With these “Merry Men,” he would rob tax collectors and return the money to the rightful owners, the overburden taxpayers. In the story, traditionally depicted dressed in Lincoln green, Robin was about fighting the high taxation imposed by Prince’s John dictatorial, brutal administration/government.

Today we have numerous people portraying themselves as Robin Hoods. Modern Robin Hoods are screaming from the tops of their lungs, “tax the rich, tax the corporations, make them pay their fair share” and promoting opinion that “Robin Hood stole from the rich and gave to the poor.”

Sadly, the high taxation imposed by prince John in the twelfth century and by modern “Robin Hoods” is ultimately harming the poor the most.

To maintain their wealth, the rich must constantly work to restore their capital, otherwise they would expend their wealth over time, and like many lottery winners fall into poverty. This is why modern Robin Hoods want to tax the income of wealthy people. Siphoning their income creates a steady flow of money to the government and forces the wealthy to adjust, not only their personal spending habits, but also the habits of businesses they are involved with. The increased burden on businesses stagnates the economy, which hurts average people the most. Some of them, especially employees of small businesses, will experience a loss of income, others may lose their job and are forced to seek a new career. Similarly, raising taxes on corporations forces them to adapt and change the way they conduct business. To survive, some will outsource production or move their headquarters to countries with lower taxes, other will have to raise the prices of their products, some will go out of business. Again, the poor are the ones hurt the most. When a factory closes or an entire company goes bankrupt, when the prices of items in the stores rises while household income does not, the poor suffer.

Sadly, modern Robin Hoods, who are robbing the rich and giving to the governmental bureaucracy, are never blamed for the poverty they create and sustain by raising taxes. They pit the poor majority against the wealthy minority to secure permanent influential positions in leadership, becoming governors, congressmen, senators, etc. They receive royal treatment from the rich and corporations who are forced to pay them protection money by donating to re-election funds, hiring family members of politicians to lucrative positions, and donating to designated foundations, paying favor for favor. The loudest among these politicians usually end their careers with more money in their bank accounts than they made during their entire term.

At the same time, among the electorate they are glorified as a social justice warriors/ Robin Hoods helping poor people get back at the evil rich.

The Legendary Robin Hood cared for the poor people and for his country. Modern robin hoods care for themselves, crushing the country and dividing its people.

Did you know?

Thursday, October 13, 1977, began as just another routine trip for the crew of Lufthansa Flight 181, as the Boeing 737 departed the island of Palma de Mallorca bound for Frankfurt Germany. Onboard, 86 passengers and five crew members went about their business, while the coast of mainland Europe slipped away below them. Little did they know that it would take an ordeal to eventually reach their destination. Some 30 minutes into the flight, two men and two women rose from their seats brandishing pistols and hand grenades, while shouting commands to the passengers. They called themselves “Commando Martyr Halima” – in honour of fellow militant Brigitte Kuhlmann, who had been killed in Operation Entebbe the previous year. The leader of the hijacker group was Palestinian terrorist Zohair Youssif Akache (23, male), who adopted the alias “Captain Martyr Mahmud”. The other three were Suhaila Sayeh (24, female), a Palestinian, and two Lebanese people, Wabil Harb (23, male) and Hind Alameh (22, female). The Los Angeles Times, on Friday October 14, 1977, reported that they were wearing Che Guevera T-shirts

Ernesto “Che” Guevara was an Argentine Marxist revolutionary, physician, author, guerrilla leader, diplomat, and military theorist. A major figure of the Cuban Revolution.

Ernesto Guevara was born to Ernesto Guevara Lynch and Celia de la Serna y Llosa, on 14 June 1928, in Rosario, Argentina. He was the eldest of five children in an upper-class Argentine family of pre-independence Spanish and Irish ancestry. Two of Guevara’s notable 18th century ancestors included Luis María Peralta, prominent Spanish landowner in colonial California and Patrick Lynch, an emigrant from Ireland and significant landowner in the Rio de la Plata Governorate.

From the beginning, Ernesto was raised as a Marxist revolutionary. His father was a staunch supporter of the Republicans/Communists from the 1936 Spanish Civil War, and often hosted many veterans from this conflict in the Guevara home. His parents’ home library contained more than 3,000 left leaning books, including the writings of Karl Marx (the author of the Communist Manifesto) and Vladimir Lenin (the father of Russian revolution of 1917) which he enthusiastically read.

He enjoyed the lavish lifestyle that came with his family’s high middle-class status. Ernesto was active in sports like swimming, football, golf, rugby, and shooting, while also becoming an “untiring” cyclist. In 1948, Ernesto entered the University of Buenos Aires to study medicine. Two years into his studies he took a 4,500-kilometer (2,800 mi) solo trip through the rural provinces of northern Argentina on a bicycle on which he had installed a small engine. This was followed by a nine-month, 8,000-kilometer (5,000 mi) continental motorcycle trek through part of South America. In 1952 he took a year off from his studies to spend a few weeks volunteering at the San Pablo leper colony in Peru, and the rest of the time journeying through Argentina, Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Panama, and Miami, Florida, before returning home to Buenos Aires. At the end of the trip, he came to view Latin America not as a collection of separate nations, but as a single entity requiring a continent-wide liberation strategy, envisioning himself as its leader. On 7 July 1953, Guevara set out again, this time to Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras and El Salvador Guatemala.

Guevara arrived in Guatemala where President Jacobo Árbenz Guzmán, through land expropriation and redistribution, was attempting to end the latifundia (a large estate / ranch) system. Pleased with the road the nation was heading down, Guevara decided to settle down in Guatemala to “perfect himself and accomplish whatever may be necessary in order to become a true revolutionary.”

In Guatemala City, he sought out Hilda Gadea Acosta, a politically well-connected member of the Marxist organization APRA (American Popular Revolutionary Alliance). She introduced Guevara to a number of high-level officials in the Árbenz government. Then he established contact with a group of Cuban exiles linked to Fidel Castro and became part of Fidel Castro’s efforts to overthrow the Batista government in Cuba. He served as a military advisor to Castro and led guerrilla troops in battles against Batista forces.

When Castro took power in 1959, Guevara’s first assignment was to oversee executions at an infamous La Cabaña prison. As a “man of the people and for the people” he moved into the biggest, most luxurious mansion in Havana. Between 1959 and 1963, approximately 500 men were killed under his watch. He took a personal interest in the interrogation, torture, and execution of political prisoners. Ciro Roberto Bustos, Guevara’s fellow Communist revolutionary, described him as a ‘synthesis of pathological sadism and fundamentalist extremism.

Lacking any managerial training and skills, he was named head of Cuba’s central bank. Later, he became Minister of Industries, as such he called for the diversification of the Cuban economy, and elimination of any material incentives. By 1963 he had brought the economy to its lowest point since Castro came to power, at the same time Cuban dependence on the USSR for military equipment and economic aid was growing. The Soviet Union was intentionally overpaying for Cuban sugar, in 1969 Cuban sugar cost three times the price of any other.

In return Fidel Castro declared his readiness to support revolutionaries “in any corner of the world.” Guevara was the most visible advocate of this commitment. In 1965 he was deep in the African Congo leading a contingent of approximately 100 Afro-Cubans. His reputation outside of Cuba, among leftist intellectuals and the radical youth that called itself “the new left,” grew by leaps and bounds. At the order of Fidel Castro, on November 3,1966, after six months training in the mountains of Cuba, the legendary rebel Che Guevara entered Bolivia to ignite a continental revolution.

Guevara’s guerrilla force, numbering about 120 well equipped men, members of “National Liberation Army of Bolivia” entered Bolivia. However, Bolivia’s Communist Party reneged on the commitment to help him, and Fidel Castro cut off all supplies. Lacking outside support, Guevara was captured and executed on 9 October 1967.

In the 1930s, Joseph Stalin during the “Great Purge” eliminated high officers of the Red Army as well as almost all the activists of the Leninist party. From June 30 to July 2, 1934. Chancellor Adolf Hitler ordered a series of political extrajudicial executions called the “Night of the Long Knives.” In 1967 Fidel Castro got rid of Che Guevara. All of them to consolidate their power. Because the compassion for poor and needy is not a goal but a means to power, power at any costs. To manipulate poor ignorant young people to do things that they would never normally do, power hungry charlatans need legends like Che Guevara. The four young people who hijacked Lufthansa Flight 181 on October 13, 1977, are one of many victims of this propaganda.

Follow the money?

“Follow the money” – a phrase that’s now a part of our national lexicon was popularized by the 1976 film “All The President’s Men.” Forty years later too many of us view this rule for unmasking political corruption as describing how “money rules the world” or “everything is about money.” Thus a widely popular opinion is that the military industry decides on matters of war and peace, not the heads of the states.

This would suggest that Genghis Khan was the puppet of horse breeders and fletchers. The Egyptian Pharaohs were taking orders from the builders of pyramids and chariot makers. That Napoleon invaded Spain in 1808 to satisy the expectations of boot makers or other contractors supplying his army. Imagine Adolf Hitler submitting himself to anybody.

In reality, power is the goal, the only goal, everything else, whether that be money or fame, will follow. How to gain power, how to expend power, and how to stay in a position of power is the first consideration for many. To gain power they need people who will support them, they need followers and those followers need a reason, a motive to follow.

Prior to the Industrial Revolution, military skills, abilities, and talents were the primary means of elevating people into position of power. Thomas Newcomen developed first commercially successful steam engine in 1712, which was improved in 1764 by James Watt, and by the 19th century it powered factories, replaced sailing ships with paddle steamers, and steam locomotives operated on railways. The arrangement of society changed significantly, new classes, the bourgeoisie – wealthy capitalist class and the proletariat – working class became dominant.

In this environment, risking live, shedding blood, and proving yourself on the battlefield were not necessary to climb up the social ladder. Two German philosophers, political theorists, social scientists and journalists, Karl Heinrich Marx and Friedrich Engels, devised a vehicle which could take them to the top, the international Communist revolution. Built on the idea of social justice, a world without rich and poor people, living in a world without wars, in a peaceful community. This concept rapidly spread through academia all over the world.

In 1848 the Communist League, an international secret society, attempted to spark revolution across Europe, but Europe was not ready yet. Elimination of the private property and creating a global government was too alien to people at the time, but the idea of government expanding its influence into the economy offering cheap services, the prospect of well-paying government jobs and lucrative contracts seemed acceptable to many, rich and poor. Socialism became the key word for a gradual growth of government control over economy and other aspect of people’s lives. Marx and Engels died without realizing their revolution, but the idea of Socialism survived. In the early 20th Century, Socialism became a reality in different places, forms and under different names reflecting the sentiments of citizens. Classic Socialism quickly transformed Russia into the Communist Soviet Union. Meanwhile Fascism is the name of a socialist systems installed in post WWI Italy, and later Nazism in Germany.

Russia, 1917:

During WW1, on the 1st of February 1917, the Germans initiated an unrestricted submarine assault against the Allied naval blockade which led to the killing of civilian traders, including Americans, paralyzing trade and causing food shortages in cities along the East Coast. The previously neutral United States was forced to enter the war, which endangered the prospects of a German victory against Russia in the east, while ensuring victory for France and Britain in the west at the same time. To relieve some pressure, the Germans sent, through Sweden and Finland in a sealed train, a well-known Russian Marxist, Vladimir Lenin, (the son of Ilya, director of Public Schools district in the Simbirsk) with his wife and thirty others activist, along with necessary resources to start a revolution and remove Russia from the war. In April 1917 Lenin arrived in St. Petersburg in Russia. Shortly before his arrival, due to strikes over food shortages Czar Nicholas II abdicated in March and the country came under the command of a Provisional Government. Lenin arrived promising social reforms and the end of the war, which allowed him to organize factory workers, peasants, soldiers and sailors into the Red Guard, a volunteer paramilitary force. On the night of October 24, 1917, the Red Guard began to take control of key points in the Russian capital: railway stations, telegraph offices and government buildings. On November 8th the Red Guard captured the Winter Palace, the seat of the Provisional Government. Lenin was declared head of the state, and his troops, which supposedly represented the people, adopted the name Bolsheviks “One of the Majority”. This started the so called “Great October Socialist Revolution” which quickly turned into a violent redistribution of wealth and elimination of opposition. Those who didn’t share and support Lenin’s vision of the new government were executed.

Italy, 1922:

Benito Mussolini (the son of Alessandro Mussolini who was an Italian revolutionary socialist activist) was originally an Italian Socialist politician and journalist at the “Avanti!” newspaper. On the brink of the WWI, he realized that for a majority of Italians, proud descendants of the Roman Empire the way of revolutionary nationalism was preferable to orthodox socialism. After the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, Mussolini gathered his fellow war veterans and various fascist (collectivist) groups into the National Fascist Party. The fascists organized into squads, wearing black shirt uniforms, were visible everywhere, and would burn down Communist and Socialist offices. They would also seize control of local governments and threatened to take control of Rome and the federal government through violent force. On the 31st of October 1922, Mussolini was appointed prime minister by King Victor Emmanuel III. After removing all political opposition through his secret police and consolidating power through a series of laws, on January 3rd, 1925, Mussolini declared himself dictator of Italy.

Unfortunately, today, for a significant percentage of people, especially the youth, socialism is seen as desirable, while at the same time they oppose fascism, which is socialism with a capitalist veneer. Fascism replaced the class warfare of Marxism with a focus on “national interest.” Instead of direct control of the economy, fascism indirectly steers the economy by dominating private owners by forcing them to support the “national interest” which is arbitrarily established by the autocratic authority. Where socialism abolished all market relations outright, fascism left the appearance of free market relations while planning all economic activities behind the scenes.

Both socialist and fascist governments have total control over the monetary system, set all prices and wages politically. In doing this they denatured the marketplace and abolished entrepreneurship. State ministries, rather than consumer needs, determine what is produced and under what conditions. Both systems are destructive, evil in nature, and responsible for the suffering and death of millions.

Awaken the Giant!

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

President Joe Biden, on Thursday, September 9th imposed stringent new vaccine rules. The new requirements could apply to as many as 100 million Americans, two-thirds of the nation’s workforce. Biden’s new plan directs the Labor Department to require all businesses with 100 or more employees ensure their workers are either vaccinated or tested once a week. Companies could face thousands of dollars in fines per employee if they don’t comply.

A long time ago, the U.S. was a Capitalist country. Today, politicians and bureaucrats in government use regulations and taxation to control the economy. Such a system used to be called Socialism.

A wooden horse was used by the Greeks to take over the city of Troy; Adolf Hitler burned down the parliament building (Reichstag) to secure absolute control over Germany. COVID-19 and the new vaccine rules extend the power of government over private companies and make them an arm of government. This type of Socialism is called Fascism.

If these new rules are implemented, thousands of citizens who, for various of reasons, don’t want to be vaccinated will lose their jobs without the cushion of unemployment insurance. Many will lose the ability to support themselves and their families with no money for food, clothing, and housing, becoming homeless overnight. Exemption will be used to reward political supporters and penalties will be used to crush any opposition. Joe Biden, his Merry Men and their allies are indoctrinating new generations in public schools and creating a false perception of reality through mass media. Furthermore, they are restricting the flow of information on the internet and expanding the federal bureaucracy to control everything and win the war for our souls. But there is a greater power, there is a sleeping giant. This great sleeping giant is Holy Militant Catholic Church.

The Catholic Church in the USA cannot remain silent and must oppose such a power grab. It is our Bishops job to raise their voices and lead us in this fight.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church in point 2239 says, “It is the duty of citizens to contribute along with the civil authorities to the good of society in a spirit of truth, justice, solidarity, and freedom.” Point 2240 obligates us to defend our country. The sacrament of confirmation made us members of Christ’s army and as His soldiers it is our duty to call ranks when the enemy approaches.

Dear brothers and sisters do not neglect this duty, in a few sentences considering our present situation alert via mail or email your Bishop or, even better, every American Bishop and respectfully encourage them to make the Militant Catholic Church militant again.

Dear brothers and sisters take a look at our flyer and spread the message in your church and neighboring parishes.

Special times, special measures.

In those days Mattathias, son of John, son of Simeon, a priest of the family of Joarib, a left Jerusalem and settled in Modein. He had five sons: John, who was called Gaddi; Simon, who was called Thassi; Judas, who was called Maccabeus; Eleazar, who was called Avaran; and Jonathan, who was called Apphus. When he saw the sacrileges that were being committed in Judah and in Jerusalem, he said: “Woe is me! Why was I born to see the ruin of my people, the ruin of the holy city—To dwell there as it was given into the hands of enemies, the sanctuary into the hands of strangers? Her temple has become like a man disgraced, her glorious vessels carried off as spoils, her infants murdered in her streets, her youths by the sword of the enemy. (1 Maccabees 2;1-9)

If we look around, we will see that our current situation does not differ much from the days when the Hellenistic king Antiochus IV ruled the world (175-164 BC).

The recent COVID-19 pandemic and racial unrest have revealed the sad truth about the state of our country. Evil forces through pagan politicians, bureaucrats and others holding influential positions were able to shut down the entire country, steal people’s livelihoods and close their Churches. They deprived Christians of Holy Week and Easter. They have taken our Holy Mass and limited our access to the sacraments.

Why is this happening? Today there are 2.3 billion Christians in the world, and among them are 1.2 billion Roman Catholics. Around 70 million Catholics in the United States alone. These numbers show the great potential and power of the Catholic Church. Then why is the Christian world shrinking while the pagan world is growing? The answer is simple, Catholics have allowed the “children of the Devil” to gain too much power and hold influential positions in countries built by Christians.

If Catholics would follow the teachings of the Catholic Church in choosing their representatives to govern the country, the situation would be considerably better, but today many Catholics are abandoning the holy covenant, are becoming lukewarm and align themselves with the Gentiles by adopting their lifestyle. Pictures of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, displayed in almost every Catholic home not long ago, are gone; even a crucifix is seldom on display in a prominent place.

There are many reasons for this decline, but the main reason is a misunderstanding of two important aspects of Christian life.

First is charity. The word charity originated in late Old English to mean a “Christian love” borrowed from the Old French word “charité,” which was derived from the Latin “caritas”, a word commonly used in the Vulgate New Testament to translate the Greek word “agape” a distinct form of “love.” Over time, the meaning of charity has shifted from one of “Christian love” to that of “providing for those in need, generosity and giving.” The words of St. Paul from the second letter to the Thessalonians 3:10, shows how charity should work: “if anyone was unwilling to work, neither should that one eat.” This idea is far removed from the minds of most Catholics. In today’s society and among many Catholics too, the good person is the giver. A good politician is the one charitable with other people’s money, a modern Robin Hood taking from the rich and those who have and giving it away in order to build a voting bloc. Nobody thinks about the consequences of free handouts, which eliminate the motivation to work, to do better, while also lowering expectations, spoiling recipients, creating an entitlement mentality, and finally turning them into slaves of the government which holds them in urban ghettos.

The real act of love is to help each other find their place in society, to be productive and to serve others. Mutual service ignites mutual love. A parent’s job is not to take care of children for their entire lifetime but to prepare them for adulthood. Similarly, the government’s role is not to supply citizens with free housing, food or healthcare and redistribute wealth equally but to protect them and their property from foreign and domestic enemies while giving them the chance to develop and use their God given talents.

Second is a misunderstanding of the words “meekness of heart.” We often pray “Jesus, meek and humble of heart, make our hearts like unto Thy Heart,” but being apathetic is not meekness of heart. Jesus in His three years of public life was consistently exposing the hypocrisy among clergy and scholars, and on many occasions used strong words like these: “Amen, I say to you, tax collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God before you.” (Matthew 21:31) Beginning from the temptation in the desert and ending with His dreadful death on the cross He was challenged on many occasions but never caved or compromised with evil. His meekness and humility of heart was in fulfilling the will of God the Father. “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will realize that I AM, and that I do nothing on my own, but I say only what the Father taught me. The one who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, because I always do what is pleasing to him.” (John 8; 28-19) True meekness of heart is the humble acceptance of the will of God and carrying the crosses He has prepared for us.

With the rapid expansion of Paganism shouldn’t we ask ourselves the same question Mattathias deliberated, “Why was I born?” If we are expecting a happy life with God in heaven shouldn’t we think about the moment when we expire and face our Lord? What will we tell Him when everything will be revealed, and He will ask:

“I gave you so many opportunities to do good, to stand for what is right, to prove that you love Me and love your neighbor. What have you done to prove to be worthy of eternal happiness? How have you served your God?”

The secret to a happy ending of our earthly voyage is in words of St. James 2:13 “For the judgment is merciless to one who has not shown mercy; mercy triumphs over judgment.”

Our mercy triumphs over God’s judgment.

Today many Catholics, especially in urban areas, are supporting pro-abortion, pro-homosexuality politicians, while holding socialistic or communistic views and at the same time they receive Holy Communion, unaware of the fact that they are not in a disposition to do so. Their priests are under great pressure and are often persecuted for taking a stand.

The salvation of many of our Brothers and Sisters in Christ is in grave danger, souls for which Jesus suffered so much and died a dreadful death. The Commandment of Love calls us to action. Different times required different measures, the Maccabees decided to fight and defend their faith and lives on the holy day of the Sabbath, King David took the bread of offering, which only the priests could lawfully eat, ate it himself and shared it with his companions. Our Lord Jesus asked the question; “is it lawful to do good on the sabbath rather than to do evil, to save life rather than to destroy it?” to point out the importance of prioritizing doing good over rules and regulations.

The Catholic Church has placed ‘instructing the ignorant’ as the second work on the list of spiritual acts of mercy. Since churches that were locked due to the COVID-19 pandemic are slowly opening we can help by putting instructive election flyers behind the wiper blades of cars parked around churches during Mass.

Check out our election flyers and prayer for the US.

Consequently, Pilate tried to release him; but the Jews cried out, “If you release him, you are not a Friend of Caesar. Everyone who makes himself a king opposes Caesar.” When Pilate heard these words he brought Jesus out and seated him on the judge’s bench in the place called Stone Pavement, in Hebrew, Gabbatha. It was preparation day for Passover, and it was about noon. And he said to the Jews, “Behold, your king!” They cried out, “Take him away, take him away! Crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your king?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar.” (John 19:12-15)

Between 26 and 36 AD, when Pontius Pilate was serving as the fifth prefect of the Roman province of Judaea under Tiberius. It was crucial to be in the Emperor’s favor. It was the difference between life and death, prosperity and death. Even the false accusation of not being a friend of Caesar could have deadly consequences. The fear ignited by the words “If you release him, you are not a Friend of Caesar” was strong enough to persuade Pilate to cave to the demands of the crowd and crucify our Lord.

Fear can be a positive motivator. In the book of Proverbs 9:10 it is written, “The beginning of wisdom is fear of the LORD.” The “Good Cop, Bad Cop” tactic is still used by law enforcement officers, but fear can also be used to manipulate people.

Genghis Khan’s empire was built on fear. The Nazis had the brown shirts and gestapo to spread terror among their own citizens, the communists in Russia used the Cheka, NKGB, NKVD, and MGB which in 1954 became the KGB to impose the will of dear leaders.

Today elites are using tactics straight from the Third Reich’s Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda run by ‎Joseph Goebbels‎ who once said, “Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth.” Every day we are exposed to mixture of facts, half-truths, lies and pure fabrications. They created a coalition of the mass media, entertainment industry, public schools, institutions of higher learning, “experts”, and the government in order to indoctrinate citizens, intimidate the opposition and control the economy by regulating and bullying the corporate world.

The ideas of man-made global warming, man polluting the Earth, destroying the planet, that man is the worst among animals, and that mankind is the scum of the Earth are promoted by the institutions mentioned above.

Few of us in the face of such overwhelming indoctrination can avoid sinking into this swamp. The most vulnerable are young people. Lacking experience, knowledge and critical thinking, they are eager to please teachers and become a part of something bigger, something important. This makes them an easy target. Frightened indoctrinated kids grow up to be indoctrinated adults (useful idiots) and then become part of the indoctrinated ruling class.

The result is that in a country built by Christians and based on Christian values the minds of many is poisoned with ideas such as the equality of religions, gender neutrality, international multiculturalism, socialism and other deviances. All of this in order to discredit Christianity and turn the US into a pagan country, to confuse citizens to the point that they won’t be able to recognize the difference between good and bad, right and wrong, creating the perception that “everything is grey.”

It is every Christian’s, especially Catholic’s, duty to jam the gears of this evil machinery.

Many are talking about problems facing our country and society at large, some are praying, homeschooling their children, and limiting access to mass media in their homes, but is it enough?

One day, the time will come to see our Lord face to face, the time of truth. Many, especially men may learn that from them was expected much more, that the commandment of love of God and neighbor requires us to stand up against the enemy. We must stand up to the ruler of this world – the devil – in his attempt to deceive human souls and counter his lies. For over two thousand years the Catholic Church has been persecuted. The Holy Family had to flee to Egypt, Our Lord was rejected by His own people, undermined by His neighbors, sentenced to death by His priests, but the truth prevailed, Jesus arose from death proving to everybody that He is The One, the redeemer of the world, the Son of God, true God and true man. Since then legions of saints, known and unknown were fighting the enemy in his attempt to destroy the Catholic Church using physical terror from the outside and planting all kinds of heresies to divide Christians from inside.

St. Maximilian Kolbe during his time as a student in Rome witnessed the violent demonstrations of Freemasons under the windows of the Vatican showing an image of the archangel, St. Michael lying under the feet of the triumphant Lucifer. As a response on October 16, 1917 with six other friars he founded the Militia Immaculata (Army of the Immaculate One) with the aim of converting sinners, enemies of the Catholic Church, heretics and schismatics, particularly freemasons, through the intercession of the Virgin Mary. To accomplice this task he began to publish The Knight of the Immaculate to “illuminate the truth and show the true way to happiness.”

In today’s confused world there is a need, a hunger, for the truth. Catholics are listening to Catholic radio and reading Catholic publications, right wingers will go to Rush Limbaugh and other commentators like him for their information but the rest of society, especially young people, are exploited and exposed to evil propaganda. Lies of global warming or climate change, evolution, the evil ideas of socialism and communism, movements like environmentalism and many others can be exposed as fraud but this requires some work. Generally, people stick to their sources of entertainment and information. To reach them it is necessary to pierce this bubble, and this can be done through the distribution of short, simple, easy to understand flyers presenting objective, obvious and universally accepted facts and truths because this kind of truth has the power to set people free.

Please take a look at our flyers (there will be more of them, if you are able to create a better one go for it and keep fighting), print out twenty, thirty or more copies and while enjoying a recreational Sunday afternoon walk, drop them on the doorsteps of your neighbors’ houses. By strategically changing the route a single person may reach and bring the truth to hundreds of people every month. The Decision is yours; either working for God or by doing nothing serve Satan.
