Bring Back Sister Mary, or, "Humans are NOT nice people" (Bill Maher)
How to Rid the West of Corrupt Politicians
I can’t exactly remember what year it was—maybe 1961 or 1962. I arrived at Corpus Christi Grammar School, walked to my classroom, hung my jacket up in the cloak room, and made my way to my seat. The day before, Sister Mary Wencheslaus had informed our class that, the next day, she was going to provide a special treat for the class. I had actually run to school, that morning, anxious to see what the treat would be.
As I settled in my seat, Sister Mary Wencheslaus was tinkering with a slide projector. “Good,” I heard her say, obviously finally satisfied, it seemed, that the projector was in working order. “Cartoons!!!” I thought, convincing myself that, very soon, we would be watching Bugs Bunny, or Elmer Fudd, or Yosemite Sam, certainly the best treat any 1950s kid could expect to have.
It would be a welcomed break from the normal [normal?!] stringent discipline offered by the most loving, but often most dangerous women in the planet—Catholic nuns, one of whom I’d witnessed kick the ass, in a brutal fist fight, of one of the most notorious dudes on the south side of Chicago, Fred Briskley. (For full coverage of that fight, see my Substack article, entitled, What, you got a PROBLEM with integrity??!!) It was clear that a big treat was in store for us kids, because Sister Mary Wencheslaus donned an especially angelic smile that morning.
Wencheslaus walked to a front corner of the room, near the exit, turned off all of the lights, and asked, “Will someone please close the blinds.” Barbara Lauderdale, Wencheslaus’s favorite student, immediately stood up, walked over to the windows and closed the blinds. It had always puzzled me why the nuns, in addressing the smart girls in the class, would always use all three of their names. “Norma Jean Taylor, will you come to the blackboard and show the class how this problem is solved, please?” Barbara Ann Lauderdale, Norma Jean Taylor, Judith Ann Anderson and Nedra Lee Fernandez were the smartest girls in the class, and the only ones Wencheslaus would address by using all three of their names. The surprising thing is that none of the smart girls were arrogant. The rest of us admired them.
After the blinds were closed, it was almost pitch-black dark, but you could still see the almost spooky silhouette of Wencheslaus, standing there in the corner, although you could not see the expression on her face. She then spoke: “Children, you will now see what happens to those who sin.”
She moved to the front, center of the room, and clicked a switch that activated a slide projector, and simultaneously activated a phonograph record, then she moved back to that corner of the room again. The deep, male voice on the phonograph record said, “Look!! Look!! Look and SEE what will become of YOU if you die with a MORTAL SIN on your soul!!!” Human sounds of intense agony—moaning, screaming, and pleading voices, begging to be freed from the eternal, burning fires of hell—filled the room. My heart started racing.
And then, on the projection screen, appeared the tortured, twisted faces of people who were burning in hell, fire up to their necks.
As we watched the slides of people burning in hell, the deep, male voice on the phonograph record continued:
“These are the people who SINNED!!! These are the people who HATED GOD!!! These are the people who made a MOCKERY of the Divine Salvation offered to them by the blood sacrifice of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!!! These are people who LIED; who CHEATED; who STOLE; who MURDERED. These are the people who
I actually began to shiver. The day before, I had stolen a little toy from the dime store. This day, after class ended, I ran all the way back home, with my eyes peeled to the concrete, so as to not DARE look up, see a girl, and add yet another sin, besides thievery, to my wretched soul. When I got home, I ran to my room, picked up that toy, put it in my jacket pocket, ran to the dime store, slowly walked to the back of that store, where I’d gotten the toy from, pulled it out of my pocket, and carefully put it back in place, hoping that no one had seen me.
The next day, at school, I walked into the classroom with a new-found, deep respect for all nuns. The fact that Sister Mary Wencheslaus could travel to hell, take slides of people burning there, and return to earth without ONE scorch mark (at least that could be seen on her face, the only part of a nun exposed back then) was now definitive proof that, in point of fact, all nuns, without doubt, were the spiritually protected Brides of Christ. Satan was not gonna mess with Jesus’s women!! That’s for damn sure.
You can have a good laugh, which I expect. But, back then, in my young mind, it was not a laughing matter. Those slides, admittedly a brutal way to teach morals, were the horrific seeds planted within me, by Sister Mary Wencheslaus, that kept me straight for most of my life (most of my life).
I am no longer Catholic, nor am I a Christian. I follow a different spiritual path. But, the above true story was not written to mock The Roman Catholic Religion. Not at all. I cherish my former Roman Catholic religious experience, and, throughout the years, have occasionally returned to Corpus Christi Church and sat in its rear, meditating.
When I look at today’s world—particularly our Western world, which, of course, includes my country, the United States—I sometimes wish that Sister Mary Wencheslaus could return, cloned billions of times, each clone placed in every school of the West, public or private. Incidentally, she’d have to take a paddle to the ass of the current Pope of The Roman Catholic Church, Pope Francis, aka, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, who appears, much to the deep chagrin of Traditionalist Catholics, to be eagerly attempting to dismantle every single thing that The Roman Catholic Church stood for, religiously and morally, throughout the past almost two-thousand years. For more on that, check out the videos of that community, Traditionalist Catholics, of the Catholic world. You can get up to speed on their beef with Bergoglio and his “Novus Ordo” Catholic Church by viewing the videos produced by Remnant TV, TheRemnantVideo, Church Militant, What Catholics Believe, Dr. Taylor Marshall, and others.
While checking out those videos, ask yourself a question: Why has the Federal Bureau of Investigation—the FBI—appeared to have literally placed Traditionalist Catholics somewhere near the top of their list of potential “domestic terrorists”? The answer is very deep and, quite frankly, goes to the very heart of questions revolving around the subject of whether or not Western civilization can, or will survive if it maintains its current moral and spiritual slide downward. As I said, I’m not Catholic. But, widen your perspective—on everything, whether politics, religion, education, international relations, etc.—and you’ll uncover some surprising and disturbing things.
In 2011, I served as an independent journalist, using a pseudonym, covering NATO’S assault on Libya. Decades before that, during the 1960s, journalists like Seymour Hersh, who revealed the 1968 My Lai Massacre that took place in March of that year, were actually, believe or not, uncovering and telling the truth. In addition, there were many underground magazines and newspapers that we “radicals” had access to, and that also provided accurate and reliable information. But even the mainstream media would tell the truth, at least as compared to today. I also served as a propagandist, back then, writing for any group that was against “The System,” which, today, is called “The Deep State.”
When NATO attacked Libya in 2011, I knew clearly, because of my background, and because times had changed, that the mainstream media was lying its ass off. I’m not talking only about lies by structure, lies by omission, and lies by spin. I’m talking about a third form of lies: Just LIES—straight-up, no-chaser, hardcore, funky-McNasty lies. It was absolutely astounding to witness. The lies about Libya that mainstream “journalists” [They’re actually, unfortunately for the public, just stenographers] told made 1960s mainstream journalists look like saints.
So, based on my ‘60s background, but now with the added, awesome power of effecting communication with anyone on the planet, I was able to obtain information directly from LDF (Libyan Defense Force) soldiers who were on the ground, in Libya, providing me with messages electronically. Being Muslim myself [and, by the way, a supporter of President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement], it was not as hard as one might think for me to know how to attain such relationships. I also effected direct email correspondence with a woman who had once been an educator at the former Frunze Military Academy of Russia.
I read the coverage of NATO’s assault on Libya that was offered by Dr. Franklin Lamb (Who was in Libya at the time), Dr. Webster Tarpley (Also in Libya at the time), Stephen Lendman, T. West, Lisa Karpova, Lizzie Phelan, Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya, former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney (whom I convinced, via email, to write a book about the Libyan horror that my “Black brother,” President Barack Hussein Obama, was leading, along with the President of France, Nicolas Sarközy, and British Prime Minister, David Cameron), and others.
In addition to reading their material, I also had contact with some of them. All of the the things mentioned above allowed me to write minute-by-minute accounts of the actual fighting. I wrote 200 articles, in nine months, for Mathaba.net, which now appears to no longer exist.
When Russia’s SMO (Special Military Operation) in Ukraine jumped off, on Thursday, February 24th, 2022, I knew, because of my former experience, especially my experience in 2011, that any attempt to understand what was happening in Ukraine by relying on the mainstream media would be a profound and total waste of time. The MSM (MainStream Media) of the United States had become a direct mouth piece of The White House and the Democratic Party. MSM, in short, was no different than Pravda, the official propaganda mouthpiece of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the former, and defunct, Soviet Union. Had it not been for New Media (Alternative Media), we would now be living in an information prison.
And, although I eventually viewed the documentary, Monopoly: Who Owns the World?, it did not take my viewing of that documentary to know what the deal was with MSM. Nothing of truth whatsoever would come from MSM. So, I sought out information, as I’d long learned how to do, elsewhere. Here are just some of the reliable sources of information about Ukraine that I found, and that I still use daily:
MSM told us [lied] that the military entry of Russia into Ukraine was “unprovoked,” when, in fact, provocations against Russia, due to NATO’S constant attempts to move closer to Russia’s border, which Russia had expressly warned NATO and the U.S. not to do, had begun after the Soviet Union officially fell on December 26th, 1991. After that date, the United States government had “assured” Russia that it had no intentions of attempting to gobble up former Soviet territories into NATO. This, as Scott Ritter and Col. Douglas Macgregor have repeatedly stated, was a bold faced lie. Ignoring a doctrine called strategic empathy, the U.S. and NATO continued expanding towards Russia’s border. From an article, entitled, Operationalizing Strategic Empathy: Best Practices from Inside the First Island Chain, we read,
“The United States cannot compete effectively or prevail in conflict if its approach to leading the free world through current global challenges is self-centered. Hans Morgenthau described self-centered leadership as strategic narcissism: ‘the tendency to view the world only in relation to the United States and to assume the future course of events depends primarily on U.S. decisions or plans.’”
Russia’s concerns about not having NATO right on its border were identical to the U.S. government’s concerns, during the Cuban Missile Crisis, “when American deployments of missiles in Italy and Turkey were matched by Soviet deployments of similar ballistic missiles in Cuba,” of having Soviet missiles based only 1,520 miles from the U.S. This double-standard has occasionally been noted by Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia. Despite this fact, MSM, to this very day, continues to cast Russia’s entry into Ukraine as “unprovoked.”
MSM also constantly lies by omitting the fact that the Ukrainian government had been bombing Luhansk and Donetsk oblasts, located in an area called the Donbas, in Ukraine, for eight years, in part due to a Ukrainian government initiative to deny the Russian people of that area their right to speak their own language, to have their language taught in their schools, etc. Some were warning that such moves might, or would, presage a possible genocide of the Russian-speaking people of the Donbas area. Anyone who knew anything about Russia knew that Russia was not going to allow Russian people, in Ukraine, to continue being persecuted, bombed, and possibly genocided. Russia’s move in Ukraine was a legitimate pre-emptive move.
Day after day, week after week, month after month, MSM lied about Russia “running out” of weapons, a propaganda tool designed
by incompetent politicians, who are emotionally, ideologically, and blindly stuck in the Cold War period, still believing, and attempting to get the rest of us to believe, that Russia is the number one threat to the world, so that those politicians can “justify” sending billions of dollars and military equipment to Ukraine';
to shore up support for war-mongering neo-conservative politicians (and profiteers) that want to keep the spigot of money running for the MIC (military industrial complex);
so that politicians can get their kick-backs in the form of campaign donations from the MIC, or donations in WHATEVER manner such corrupt people are experts at employing, such as setting up foundations.
Despite their almost daily claims that Russia was, and is, “running out of weapons,” Russia is pumping out, as we used to say in the hood, “weapons’ MAMMA.” They lied, telling us that Russia had “low support” from Russian citizens, for Putin’s decision to launch the SMO, when, in fact, that support rose up to 85% of the Russian populace. And the poll that was run, in Russia, that produced that result was run by an anti-Putin Russian polling company called The Levada Center.
They lied to each other, and to the public, ignoring warnings from both Wall Street and the Federal Reserve Bank not to impose sanctions on Russia, and convincing themselves that U.S.-backed Western sanctions against Russia would cause Russian citizens to rise up against the Putin government, topple it, and remove Putin from office. Instead, the Putin government gained popularity amongst Russian citizens, as the U.S. had, by its actions, openly revealed that it was operating not from truth, but, rather, from an irrational, intense hatred of the Russian people themselves. And even if that was not the case, Vladimir Putin, in speeches, was able to use the U.S. government’s virtual war against Russia as “proof” that Putin’s policies were 100% correct.
I don’t know whether or not members of the U.S. government look at girls. According to Kenny Red, the pimp that appeared in the 1999 documentary, American Pimp, they certainly do):
“Governors, Senators—you know, movie stars, actors, all that sh*t, you know what I’m saying? I mean, all of ‘em, you know what I’m saying? That’s why it go on so long, like, it’s the money, you know what I’m saying? Even when I was coming up, you know what I’m saying, I always heard about Washington, D.C., Washington, D.C. So, I come to Washington, D.C., to really see if mufukas was getin’ that kind of money, and when I came, they made me a believer.”
To borrow from the spirit of James Carville, It’s the money, stupid! And that’s the bottom line of what all the lying, by the media, is all about: Money. It’s about money, power, and, often, sex (It always fascinated me how often Boris Johnson traveled to Ukraine, supposedly for “political” reasons only. Just saying.)
The list of lies told by MSM and our politicians, during the Ukraine crises, is simply much too long to list in this article. But, it’s very important, seriously, to take note that their lies are literally—quite literally—jeopardizing the existence of all life on earth, plant, insect, animal, and human. Because of the conflict in Ukraine, which was actually orchestrated by incompetent, lying politicians, the University of Chicago, on Tuesday, January 24th, 2023, set its “Dooms Day Clock” to 90 seconds before midnight, the closest to apocalypse that it has ever been set before.
It’s ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE that young people are not out in the streets protesting in the tens of millions. They seem to have no understanding of how dangerous the current situation is. I came from the generation when this was going on:
Back then, you could write to the United States government for actual building plans that could be used to build an underground bomb shelter for your family. Uh, yeah….right. My dad was an expert carpenter. Also, he had studied architecture at Roosevelt University, in Chicago.
The tension in the air, during the Cold War, was so intense that my big brother, Marcus, begged my dad to send for one of those bomb shelter instructions and build a bomb shelter, for our family, at the family home. Here is what Daddy Cheese, the nickname we used for our dad, said. He called everybody, including us, “Jones”:
“Look here, Jones, lemme tell you what I’m going to be doing when that bomb comes. I’m gone be sitting on the front porch, in my lawn chair, with my straw hat and sunglasses on, sipping from a glass of Chivas Regal. Because, the government’s lying. I done already saw those plans. And the best thing that will happen to people who go inside one of those shelters is that they’ll be roasted.”
Decades later, one day I was watching a news item, on TV, in which a news anchor, in all smiles, said, “Remember, back in the 1950s, when our government told us that we’d be safe if we used its free bomb shelter plans, and built that shelter? Not so. It’s now known that the “best” thing that would happen to us if an atomic bomb detonated is that we’d have been roasted.”
Well, Kenny Red has informed us that politicians look at girls (at the very least). And, quite frankly, I really don’t give a sh*t that they “look at girls,” except if looking at girls poses a threat to our national security:
But when our politicians lie to us about geo-political matters, and those lies could result in the total annihilation of all life on earth, then those politicians are extremely dangerous, and they need to be booted out of office.
I admire, and support, such efforts as those being pursued by the COS (Convention of States) movement, which seeks fundamentally, Constitutionally supported structural changes to government that will give U.S. states power to greatly diminish the current power of the federal government. Nevertheless, I have concerns about such efforts.
While those efforts, in and of themselves are excellent, I keep asking myself, “What difference will it actually make, to the citizens of my country, that such structural changes are made, if the moral fabric of the country is shot? Really, if lies and corruption exist as if stemming from some doctrines of a religion, then what hope is there for the country if its leaders, and those responsible for disseminating information to the public, are addicted to lying?
There is a spiritual practice that was founded, in China, in the year 1992, by a man named Li Hongzhi, which, within a few years of its inception, grew to have a following, it’s claimed, of approximately 100,000,000 “practitioners.” Some put that figure at 75,000,000, and others place it at 150,000,000. Li Hongzhi claimed that that spiritual practice had actually existed on this earth long before religion existed, but had been kept hidden within certain families.
He said that he had decided to bring it out into the open, in part because modern society contains so much tension and immorality. That movement is variously known as Falun Dafa or Falun Gong. It teaches that the underlying qualities of the universe are Truth, Compassion, and Forbearance, and that Falun Dafa adherents should strive to attune their lives to those three qualities.
When I first heard about Falun Dafa, in 2015, it struck me and bothered me that Truth, instead of Love, was listed as one of those three-fold components of the underlying qualities of the universe. But, lately, especially in light of the fact that I have been on this planet for over seven decades, I’m beginning to think that, in a world filled with lies, and empty of truth, love cannot exist. So, maybe Li Honghi has it right: Truth, perhaps, is more important and more weightier than Love
But, since the world is in such dire need, especially with “90 seconds to go,” I have a better suggestion than practicing Falun Dafa that will work, until such time as Dafa practitioners can draw more people to Falun Dafa spiritual “cultivation,” as it’s called:
