Stilton on Chaz

2020_06 15 Stilton

In the newly formed principality of CHAZ (the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone), the only thing actively being produced is irony – and plenty of it. The leader (an admittedly hazy distinction) is a local rapper with an AK-47 and enough gold rings to pay for all of the commune’s needs…if he was willing to give them up, which he’s not. Apparently seizing his property for the people is still unacceptable.

CHAZ has erected border walls to keep out foreigners and demands voter-unfriendly (and likely racist) photo IDs at checkpoints. The local citizenry divides its time between demanding that all land be seized for communal farming, and begging for food that someone else has produced. To paraphrase Steve Martin in “The Jerk,” land and freedom and autonomy are all they need. And food and ice and Gatorade. That’s all! Land and freedom and autonomy and food and ice and Gatorade are all they need. And Cigarettes. And clothes. Land and freedom and autonomy and food and ice and Garorade and cigarettes and clothes and shoes and solar chargers and pillows and flashlights and Tracfone minutes and folding chairs and body lotion. That’s all! And disinfectant.

While we’ve previously suggested going Branch Davidian on these numbnuts, our better angels have spoken to us and we now realize that this situation should be handled non-violently. So rather than drag them out of CHAZ, we keep them in. As in permanently. And we cut off the flow of all of those items that they want for free but haven’t earned.

Let them break up the streets and plant their crops. Let them turn dumpsters into dwellings. Let them defecate on the sidewalks and drink rainwater from the gutters. And let them see just how long one a**hole can hold on to his gold rings without help from the police.

Perspective

2020_06 15 Perspective

For a small amount of perspective for snowflakes during these crazy times, imagine you were an American born in 1900. When you are 14, World War I starts, and ends on your 18th birthday with 22 million people killed. Later in the year, a Spanish Flu epidemic hits the planet and runs until you are 20. Fifty million people die from it in those two years. Yes, 50 million.

When you’re 29, the Great Depression begins. Unemployment hits 25%, global GDP drops 27%. That runs until you are 33. And there was no welfare, food stamps or bailout money. You were mostly on your own. The country nearly collapses along with the world economy. When you turn 39, World War II starts. You aren’t even over the hill yet.

When you’re 41, the United States is fully pulled into WWII. Between your 39th and 45th birthday, 75 million people perish in the war and the Holocaust kills six million. At 52, the Korean War starts and five million perish.

At 64 the Vietnam War begins, and it doesn’t end for many years. Four million people die in that conflict. Approaching your 62nd birthday you have the Cuban Missile Crisis, a tipping point in the Cold War. Life on our planet, as we know it, could well have ended. Great leaders prevented that from happening.

As you turn 75, the Vietnam War finally ends. Think of everyone on the planet born in 1900. How do you survive all of that? A kid in 1985 didn’t think their 85 year old grandparent understood how hard school was. Yet those grandparents (and now great grandparents) survived through everything listed above.

Perspective is an amazing art. Let’s try and keep things in perspective. Let’s be smart, help each other out, and we will get through all of this. In the history of the world, there has never been a storm that lasted. This too shall pass.

CHAZ

The Neon Revolt Show: [27:50] This is a good overview of the madness that has befallen Seattle. It’s well worth your time, even if the moving neon doorway thing is incredibly annoying. You don’t actually need to look at it. He reads aloud all the stuff he posts (on top of the annoying neon).

Do not miss the section at around 11 minutes where some of the citizens of CHAZ attempt to call the Seattle PD to get help with Raz, the armed thug who has declared himself the CHAZ chief of police. Or maybe he’s declared himself king now.

Progressives want us to believe that they’ve all about peace and love. They preach “no borders” and “gun control”, as if those things would bring about global harmony. They also claim that the atrocities committed by every progressive government wouldn’t happen here, that it just hasn’t been done “right” yet.

Well, now it’s happened here, in Seattle. And it looks EXACTLY like it does everywhere else it’s been tried.

Do ghosts exist?

Do ghosts

I know they do. And Catholic author, Dr. Peter Kreeft, agrees.

The dead often do appear to the living,” Kreeft asserts. “There is enormous evidence of ‘ghosts’ in all cultures.”

The first and most important thing Catholics should know about ghosts is that we should not try to contact or communicate with them. Any kind of participation in the occult or spiritism is not only sinful, but also deeply dangerous.

The second thing we need to know is that ghosts sometimes contact or appear to people who are not seeking them. If that happens, the best response is prayer.

Kreeft suggests there are three kinds of ghosts, one kind from each of the places of the afterlife:

  1. Spirits from Hell – “[T]here are malicious and deceptive spirits,” Kreeft explains, “and since they are deceptive, they hardly ever appear malicious. These are probably the ones who respond to conjurings at séances. They probably come from Hell. Even the chance of that happening should be sufficient to terrify away all temptation to necromancy.
  1. Spirits from Purgatory – This is “the most familiar kind: the sad ones, the wispy ones,” Kreeft explains. “They seem to be working out some unfinished earthly business, or suffering some purgatorial purification until released from their earthly, business. These ghosts would seem to be the ones who just barely made it to Purgatory, who feel little or no joy yet and who need to learn many painful lessons about their past lives on earth.”
  1. Ghosts from Heaven – Lastly, “There are the bright, happy spirits of dead friends and family, especially spouses, who appear unbidden, at God’s will, not ours, with messages of hope and love. They seem to come from Heaven. Unlike the purgatorial ghosts who come back primarily for their own sakes, these bright spirits come back for the sake of us the living, to tell us all is well.

Thankfully, I have only read about the first kind. But I have personally experienced the second and third kinds on half a dozen occasions. Continue reading
