1 of 8) While there is the theological context to Ecclesiastes when saying, “What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done; and there is nothing new under the sun.” Ecclesiastes 1:9
2) The point I would make is that there is nothing “new” or “evolved” about how we think today that couldn’t be - and was - understood in 400 BC. The modern soft-sciences are the deracinating dialectical disease of our time.
3) This is because American culture has been fatally infected with dialectical narratives that have us thinking, a la Hegel, that history moves forward and, because of this, everything thought of or said today is more accurate, true and correct . . .
4) . . . precisely because it is said today (and not yesterday). Hence, there is no need for history or a historical perspective. It is erased. The goal of these attacks is the deracination of the population – rendering them modern primitives - by design and intent.
5) The dialectical materialism that drives Marxism is not only derived from Hegel but also from the secret societies then popular in Europe that he frequented. They were relentlessly anti-West and anti-Judo-Christian. They still are -
6) Everything bringing America down today can (and should be able to) be explained exclusively in terms of Plato’s Dialogues from 400 BC. Pieper called today’s crisis “the Platonic nightmare.”
7) This is THE line of attack destroying the West (and America) today. Perfected in 400 BC. This explains Pieper’s point that overwhelming target audiences with superficial information bits is to disorient them while transitioning them to a false sense of reality -
8 of 8) Plato called these people sophists. Nothing has changed. Hegel knew this. So too did Marx and Lenin. It is the backbone of the Frankfurt Marxist attacks. Know the threat or perish because of it. You can’t fake it. You can’t learn it by osmosis. You must decide to know.

1 of 11) Today, for a change of pace. Some things simply don’t translate, or at least not elegantly. On this day, let’s take a phrase from the ancient Greek, “Χαῖρε, κεχαριτωμένη!”
2) In Luke 1:28, the Angel Gabriel says something to Mary recorded in ancient Greek that doesn’t easily translate. He says “Χαῖρε, κεχαριτωμένη!” – or - "Chaire, kecharitomene!" Chaire means “hail” or “rejoice.” Easy enough. But “kecharitomene” needs more explaining.
3) First, it’s the only place in the Bible the term used in either the Old (Septuagint) or New Testament. The core term of “kecharitomene,” is – κεχαριτω (kharito) - from the word χᾰρῐτόω (kharitóō), but more on that later.
1 of 11) From the United Nations. Shut up and obey! When speaking of Marxist mass line enforcement narratives, Safa’s short Tweet hits all the buttons. It needs unpacking. It’ll be long.
2) GASLIGHTING: you have no right to an opinion if you’re not a state spokesperson, a state-approved scientist, or a member of the cadre of pundits who enforce mass line narratives.
3) DISCOURSE THEORY: You’re only allowed to listen to state pronouncements and state-approved and MSM/SM promoted “experts.” Other voices will be suppressed. How many qualified, competent scientists and doctors does Safa ignore (because they’ve been silenced)?
1) John's comments are heavily grounded in Church Dogma. When a pope wanders from his basis of authrotiy, when he wants to "shake it up," he is argualbly of base. Pastor Aeternus states the authority always present since Jesus gave Peter the authority in Matthew 16:19. Let's see:
2) From Chapter 4 Paragraph 6 seems to have been written w Francis in mind: "For the Holy Spirit was promised to the successors of Peter not so that they might, by his revelation, make known some new doctrine but that, by his assistance, they might religiously guard . . .
3) . . . and faithfully expound the revelation or deposit of faith transmitted by the apostles."
Then comes Chapter 4, Paragraph 9: “Therefore, faithfully adhering to the tradition received from the beginning of the Christian faith, to the glory of God our savior, . . .
A key takeaway - There ARE people who think this way in high places. Very anti-God, typically Socialist, Mitterrand was. Not new, this sounds just like the Fabian Socialists from turn of last century - George Bernard Shaw or example? H G Wells? Still on mission.
2) From H G Wells: "The men of the New Republic will not be squeamish, either, in facing or inflicting death, because they will have a fuller sense of the possibilities of life than we possess. They will have an ideal that will make killing worthwhile." - Anticipations, 1902.
3) From G B Shaw: “You must all know half a dozen people at least who are no use in this world, who are more trouble than they are worth. Just put them there and say Sir, or Madam, now will you be kind enough to justify your existence? . . .
1) For those who recognize the initiate code (signaling), a dispositive argument can be made that Francis’ 2000 Encyclical Fratelli Futi was a victory lap celebrating the lodges’ victory of the Alta Vendita over the Church.
2) It even signals the French Revolution just like Ratzinger, his refs to 1789, when calling for the raising of the (Church’s) Bastions, Fratelli Futi replaces Catholic theology for that of a movement formally condemned by the Church more than any other.
3) Consider, while Fratelli Futi mentions the Holy Spirit only 3 times, liberty (6), equality (15) and fraternity (55) are mentioned a combined 76 times. In fact, paragraphs 103 to 105 are bundled under a section titled “Liberty, Equality and Fraternity.”
A friend undertook the translated subtitles. I've been planning to put something together on this and will soon. Habermas is second generation Frankfurt School. There is reason to think that this concept was first tried in prototype at Vatican II -
2) I know what you’re thinking: “Vatican II, WT*, that’s a reach, even for you. But consider, it was well known at Vatican II that microphones were turned off for those who opposed the periti and there were other events as well that map with Habermas’ DT.
3) Then, consider that in 2005, Habermas coauthored a book with Cardinal Ratzinger titled THE DIALECTICS OF SECULARIZATION: ON REASON AND RELIGION. In the US, the Jesuit Ignatius Press published it never once suggesting that Habermas was a Marxist.
