Quotes of Note: History of the People of Israel by Ernest Renan

Via: “Imperium” by Francis Parker Yockey

“Socialism may bring back by the complicity of Catholicism a new Middle Age.” And there are, indeed, some rather horrifying straws in the wind as regards the Church’s traditional hostility toward communism. March 7, 1963 witnessed the Pope grasping the hand of Alexi Adzheubi, an official representative of the same Bolshevism which so far has murdered at least 50 million patriots in Russia, China and elsewhere. What are millions to think — Catholic and non-Catholic — who have heretofore looked upon Rome as a bulwark against this unspeakably degenerate conspiracy? (Decent Catholics should not be too surprised or chagrined; Protestant sects by and large were captured by the Culture Distorter years ago.) But should the two equalitarian religions converge, compromise is required on the part of the Communist Party, too; being totally bankrupt intellectually, this is not too great a price. An anonymous letter supposedly written by a CP member was reprinted in the May, 1963 Truth Seeker, a strongly anti-communist free-thought periodical. It bears repetition:

“…The Party has soft-pedaled atheism for years and now we are dropping it completely. Atheism divides the masses and offends all the good religious people in the Party and who work closely with us. Fanatical atheists who insist on preaching their views are thrown out… confusing the political problems we have with religious matters is asinine. By far the most progress the Party is making today is being made through the churches. … I expect to see a complete convergence of the Catholic Church and the Party within the next fifty years. … The shadow of this is clearly foreshown in Poland. Perhaps you have heard of Pax? This is a Catholic lay organization run by communist priests … tolerated by both the Party and the Church. … You may yet live to see the day when the dictatorship of the proletariat will be proclaimed by the Pope!” [emphasis added]

Very prescient statement, considering the election of Pope Francis who has attracted controversy with his Marxist interpretation of the Bible and Catholicism. That he was elected 50 years after the embrace of Communism by the Catholic church is almost too rich to be a coincidence.

A person with a healthy dose of skepticism, of course, can rightly point out that the anonymous letter may have been faked to slander the Catholic Church. Or that the fifty years as claimed in the letter, if it was the real deal, may just be a hollow boast such as the “1000-year Reich”. But again, 2013 has been a groundbreaking year in that, most of the conspiracies that used to dwell in the fringes of society has moved into the front and center.  Things have changed and we can’t afford to dismiss outlandish claims with little analysis, to put it mildly.

Trust in the traditional institutions of western society; the State, education, media, business and religion, is at an all-time low. Distrust is in the air. People have realized that they were lied to. And now people have begun to question things.

Addendum: Do note that I have little personal interest in the shenanigans of the Catholic Church, since I have considered it thoroughly infiltrated by progressives and mostly unwilling to root them out and stand proudly on its traditions.

Books books books

2014 started with a whimper, a distinct uncertainty that everyone can sense but not taste. But not yet, for now this is nothing more than a list of books I have read from the start of the year, books I have acquired and books I am in the process of reading.

Read:
Autobiographies:

• “I am Zlatan” by Zlatan Ibrahimovic & David Lagercrantz
• “Red” by Gary Neville

Non-Fiction:

• “Four Ball One Tracer” by Roelf van Heerden – Depicting the exploits of the controversial Private Paramilitary Company “Executive Outcomes” in Angola and Sierra Leone – Highly-recommended for those interested in that period of time or in paramilitary groups in general.
• “The Return of the Great Depression” by Vox Day – Details the shenanigans that will continue to haunt our financial/economic system until we redress them, or they collapse around us. – Painful reading, more for the facts contained than any stylistic complaint.

Fiction:

• The Carrera series by Tom Kratman. Blazed through three books in a week. Enough said.

Currently Reading:

• “Traders, Guns & Money: Knowns and Unknowns in the Dazzling World of Derivative” by Satyajit Das – A  very compelling look into the murky world of Derivatives, and how it emerged from the obscure and mundane into a “Financial Weapon of Mass Destruction”.

Soon to Read:

• “Imperium” by Francis Parker Yockey – This is a book that is rightly banned for its subversive championing of a European Empire for White Europeans. It was little surprise that the author “committed suicide” under police custody years later.
• “Full Circle” by Ferdinand Mount – Recommended by Vault-Co, always worth a closer look.
• Works by Walker Percy, an eclectic American Writer who is massively under-appreciated. and now forgotten since he hailed from the South.
• “Every Nation for Itself: Winners and Losers in a G-Zero World” by Ian Bremmer. – Relevant in a Soon-to-be Post-American world
  
• “Collected Poems” by W.B Yeats

That’s all for now folks.
