I have a feeling this is going to go really badly for me, but it has to be said. The dynamic must be explained.

Yesterday, on Good Friday, one of the high holy days of the Christian faith, the Biden Administration proclaimed Easter Sunday, March 31, 2024 *specifically* to be a "trans day of visibility." The official White House press release page shows an Easter Bunny by the White House, indicating they are fully aware that they are making this proclamation specifically about Easter Sunday, even though Easter is not specifically mentioned in the proclamation.

This isn't just an insult to the Christian faith, and indeed an intolerable one that proclaims a form of embodied Gnostic theosophy that misleads and destroys kids. It is entirely consistent with Woke Theosophy, as I've discussed elsewhere and may attach here as a thread, but it is more than that. It is also a deliberate provocation against Christians that must be understood.

A key principle of Woke activism is "your target's reaction is your real action." That derives from Saul Alinsky in Rules for Radicals and has been codified in the updated activism manual called Beautiful Trouble. They do these provocations intentionally, as I have discussed at length in the past, as a means of stoking a reaction they can use to their advantage.

On the reactionary side at present, it must be indicated that there are multiple overlapping active measures to drag faithful Christians into reactionary stances. One is the prevailing "Operation Christian Nationalism," which this same administration is framing as one of the most dangerous threats to "democracy" in the world today. Another is the more local and specific radicalization attempt during Holy Week that follows the Christian rhetoric of "Christ is King," which has been successfully tied to an antisemitic trope and active measure meant to drive a wedge between Christians and Jews and Christians and Christians. I have taken tremendous heat for exposing this active measure, as have many others, which is a testament to its status as an active measure.

This provocation, published yesterday, is overwhelmingly likely aiming to feed into those prevailing active measures ("ops") meant to drag Christians into a positions of fruitful reaction that the Regime can use to clamp down on them. Again, Christian reaction is their real action, and we know for certain that Christian circles are deeply infiltrated with a chest-beating and growing radicalism that is being baited toward and associated with a growing antisemitism. The responses to this post will almost certainly prove this out, btw. Your evil government wants this to happen. They are baiting you into it.

What should you do?

You should cleave to your faith with wisdom and discernment. You should celebrate your Christianity as loudly and publicly as you want, and you should do so aware that a reaction is being solicited from you. Pray for those caught up in the trans cult. Make your prayers visible. Welcome them to healing and communion, even if they're not ready to take it. Likewise, pray for these evil "leaders" that they repent of this wickedness. Pray also for those professing Christianity but not practicing it, seeking to lead Christians into error from within, that they repent and find forgiveness, peace, strength, and ultimately faith.

More than that, celebrate your faith openly and on terms that avoid the desired reaction of these enemies of both the church and our nations. Proclaim "He is risen" and celebrate your salvation through Him. Do not be afraid, but do not take the evil path that is being offered to you. I advise reading Matthew 10 in its entirety in this dangerous time in which your religion is targeted and in which you are being targeted and identified for this persecution, which is being set up through these provocations. It contains wisdom and guidance for times precisely like these.

Happy Easter, everyone, and may the Good News of your faith overpower the evil being done against it, not through chest-beating reaction and temptations to evil, but through the power of peace, repentance, and forgiveness that is at the heart of it, for all the people in all the nations of the world. Let not this weapon that has been forged against you prevail. Keep your faith, and keep you head. These are trying times.

I'll add some legs to this.
Yes, you are being baited, and yes, they know what they're doing. There are also ravening wolves in sheep's clothing around you urging you to take the bait. The Left infiltrates. Be discerning. Wise as serpents, gentle as doves.

As for the Woke Theosophy at the heart of this, here is a page from Paulo Freire's 1984 book The Politics of Education, in which he explains that from the Woke (Liberation Theology) perspective, Easter is dead unless it means being reborn in Woke critical consciousness. Image
Freire on the transformation that transition is a part of (since the print is small, breaking up the text to make it more readable):

"This new apprenticeship will violently break down the elitist concept of existence they had absorbed while being ideologized.

The sine qua non the apprenticeship demands is that, first of all, they [the awakened/Woke] really experience their own Easter, that they die as elitists so as to be resurrected on the side of the oppressed, that they be born again with the beings who were not allowed to be.

Such a process implies a renunciation of myths that are dear to them: the myth of their superiority, of their purity of soul, of their virtues, their wisdom, the myth that they save the poor, the myth of the neutrality of the church, of theology, education, science, technology, the myth of their own impartiality.

From these grow the other myths: of the inferiority of other people, of their spiritual and physical impurity. and of the absolute ignorance of the oppressed."
Continuing Freire's Marxist Theosophy of Easter, as above:

"This Easter, which results in the changing of consciousness, must be existentially experienced.

The real Easter is not commemorative rhetoric. It is praxis; it is historical involvement.

The old Easter of rhetoric is dead -- with no hope of resurrection. It is only in the authenticity of historical praxis that Easter becomes the death that makes life possible.

But the bourgeois world view, basically necrophiliac (death-loving) and therefore static, is unable to accept this supremely biophiliac (life-loving) experience of Easter.

The bourgeois mentality -- which is far more than just a convenient abstraction -- kills the profound historical dynamism of Easter and turns it into no more than a date on the calendar."

What he is saying here is that Christian Easter is dead unless it is Woke Easter. Being reborn into Woke critical consciousness (or "Christ Consciousness") is what Easter really means. This is a complete perversion of the Christian faith, and it lives vigorously at the heart of Woke.
Continuing Freire's Theosophical Woke Easter sermon (3/4, btw):

"The lust to possess, a sign of the necrophiliac world view, rejects the deeper meaning of resurrection.

Why should I be interested in rebirth if I hold in my hands, as objects to be possessed, the torn body and soul of the oppressed?

I can only experience rebirth at the side of the oppressed by being born again, with them, in the process of liberation. I cannot turn such a rebirth into a means of owning the world, since it is essentially a means of transforming the world."

Freire is insisting there's a "deeper meaning of resurrection" than the true Christian understanding, and it must be experienced as a personal transformation. This is Gnostic heresy, very explicitly. It's also the foundation of Woke.
Freire's Woke Theosophical Easter sermon (4/4):

"If those who were once naive continue their new apprenticeship, they will come to understand that consciousness is not changed by lessons, lectures, and eloquent sermons but by the action of human beings on the world. Consciousness does not arbitrarily create reality, as they thought in their old naive days of subjectivist idealism."

Woke praxis, not faithful Christian belief, is the only way to experience this transformation. That's why trans people are venerated so much by this evil Gnostic cult. They are very personally living out the destruction of the cult's "transformational" beliefs and working to force the world to transform with them, in the name of virtues like empathy, acceptance, tolerance, and love. All of these are invoked by Biden's proclamation (pictured below). It is an evil religion, and the Biden Administration, likely following the United Nations, is promoting it in the most provoking and vile way imaginable.Image
Image
PS: Some people are pointing out (in anger and with nastiness) that this recognition happens on March 31 "every year." That started with Biden in 2021, it is true, but the Administration would surely have known it would coincide with Easter this year (and again) then. No excuse.

I'm really serious here, in case you don't realize it. What the people who wave that flag most need is a sense of unconditional acceptance and love. They need space to repent of their rebellion and a community in which to feel forgiveness and the lifted burden, plus to grow.
The Queer Flag represents the queer political ideal: opposition to whatever is normal, legitimate, dominant. That's rejection of the Logos in favor of a poisoned Pathos. Most have trauma and hurt they haven't processed. They need truth, love, forgiveness, healing, acceptance...

What you are seeing on college campuses is textbook Maoism. The "demonstrators" you see are textbook Maoists, and many of them know they are and are that deliberately, intentionally. You are seeing Beijing University 1966, inter alia. These are our Red Guard, and it won't go away
This Maoist youth revolt will have to be confronted, but it will have to be confronted intelligently, aware of Maoist tactics and traps. Of course, they'd most like to just get their way, whatever it is (it will change next season), but second best is provoking an ugly reaction.
In China in the 1960s, the Red Guard had the support of the government it was ultimately targeting in most of the places it erupted. In America in the 2020s, it has the support of the government it is ultimately targeting in some of the places it is erupting.

Should remind people again that Critical Race Theory isn't anti-white racism. It's Race Marxism. It facilitates and makes use of racism of all kinds, and much anti-white racism is activated in the process. It's made use of too, of course, but the purpose is Marxist revolution.
This distinction matters a lot. A Marxist revolution is infinitely worse than mere activated racism, but activated racism is most people's point of contact with the program. Misdiagnosing a Marxist revolution as anti-white racism is a fatal mistake for a variety of reasons.
Seeing Race Marxism through a lens of anti-white racism is seeing the surface without the roots; the bullets without the guy pulling the trigger that fires them. It misses the most important part. It's also a trap. It induces the very identity thinking and politics CRT utilizes.

So thanks to Tucker Carlson, evolution is back on the table of contentious conversations, but, as will surprise almost no one, we're discussing it in completely the wrong way.

We need to talk about evolution, but it's not Genesis versus Darwin. It's reality versus "New Genesis."
In the podcast premiering now on @NewDiscourses, you will hear very clearly that the United Nations has been pushing a *theosophical* concept of evolution and has been angling for decades to seize control over the evolution of humanity, human beings, the planet, and the cosmos.
@NewDiscourses The theosophical idea of evolution is completely distinct from and opposed to both Christian creationism and "Darwinian" evolutionary theory (evolution by natural selection, minus any of Darwin's less useful ideas). This is very important to understand. It's something evil.

"Women" don't exist. There's no such thing as "women."

Neither do "gays" or especially the execrable "LGBTQ+."

"Christians" don't really exist either, but at least here it's closer.

These statements sound insane, but this is going to be an important thread.
I hear all the time that "women" voted for this, or "women" believe that. "Women" DOESN'T exist.

Note the grammar.

Individuals who are women (adult human females) exist. "Women" is a class made up of billions of individual females (and zero males, we have to note). This is big.
"Women" (in quotes here) refers to a class that is not a monolith. It is a descriptive term for billions of people, each of whom has an individual mind. "Women" didn't vote for anything, even if 62% of them, say, did. Almost 40% of them chose something else.

Less accurate: Woke (CRT) is anti-white (racism).

More accurate: Woke (CRT) enables and makes use of anti-white racism such that it proliferates.

This distinction matters a lot. Woke (CRT) is something far more evil and sinister than racial animus, and racial animus is bait.
I don't know how to tell people the Woke (and especially the people making use of them) WANT white people to think of themselves as a racial class that's in intrinsic conflict with other racial classes, collectively "people of color." It's the Communist Manifesto, p. 1 of ch. 1! Image
Going from p. 1 of ch. 1 of the Communist Manifesto, finding yourself in antagonistic (racial) class identities is posited always to end either in revolution (red or white) or in the "common ruin of the contended classes."

Reject the entire destructive path! It's not the way!
