Tucker Carlson – Catherine Fitts: Bankers vs. the West, Secret Underground Bases, and the Oncoming Extinction Event

Posted on by johnbarleycorn12

I have been following Catherine Austin Fitts off and on for many years once I became fully convinced, she was “the real deal.” Her extensive “insider” background status at the top echelon of one of Wall Street’s most prominent and politically connected investment banks, and her sub cabinet stint at HUD during the George H W Bush regime, demonstrated she was being groomed for a seat within elite power brokers. (She served as managing director and member of the board of directors of the Wall Street investment bank Dillon, Read & Co. Inc., as Assistant Secretary of Housing and Federal … Continue reading →

Never Forget: Pope Francis on Covid – LewRockwell

Posted on by johnbarleycorn12

It was August 18, 2021. I was at a coffee shop in Paso Robles, California. I had kids in college who feared that their institutions might kick them out if they didn’t get one of the experimental mRNA-based Covid “vaccines.” They didn’t need the shots for many reasons, from their healthy age and lack of any co-morbidities to the most important fact of all: our entire family had gotten and fought through Covid and we all had antibodies, easily demonstrated by blood tests we offered to provide from their doctors to the schools. Worse, there were legitimate fears of myocarditis and … Continue reading →

The Free Market and Catholic Social Teaching – LewRockwell

Posted on by johnbarleycorn12

The death of Pope Francis highlights a concern of many Catholics, including myself. Can we believe in the free market consistently with our faith? If we accept the Peronist views of the late pontiff, we obviously cannot do so. But fortunately, there is a better option available to us. Churchill, Hitler, and… Patrick J.

Second Week of Easter
John 3:1–8
Friends, today in this inexhaustibly rich conversation with Nicodemus in the Gospel, Jesus tells the Israelite elder: “Unless one is born from above, he cannot see the Kingdom of God.”
He is speaking with great directness here about metanoia, about the change of attitude required before one is capable of living in the energy of the Incarnation. Jesus senses that Nicodemus, the great “ruler of the Jews,” is caught in the net of ego concerns, still clinging fearfully to his power and status, still exulting in his grasp of the religious traditions of his people. 
And Jesus’ concerns are confirmed by the almost comic rationalism of Nicodemus’ response to his invitation to rebirth: “How can a man once grown old be born again? Surely he cannot reenter his mother’s womb and be born again, can he?” While Jesus speaks the evocative and analogical language of the soul, Nicodemus hears with the ears of the ego, the rational power that wishes to know clearly and control.
It is precisely that fearful rationalism that Nicodemus must abandon in the painful process of rebirth and reconfiguration of the soul.
