'Rona

 I've gone through several stages in deciding what to think about this novel Coronavirus.  Briefly I considered the possibility that there was no virus, after watching David Icke's interview on London Real at the start of the outbreak.  Even if he was wrong, kudos to Mr. Icke for having the courage to break the taboo and contradict the narrative that was being played out in the media.  The media tried to label such ideas as "dangerous," but I think in the end he caused no harm at all and probably did some good by saying such a thing.  Then the conspiracy theorist in me had an idea of his own and thought that perhaps 'Rona was simply the common cold re-branded as something dangerous, but the idea sort of petered out and led to nothing as it wasn't based on any evidence.  Finally, I had to admit that perhaps, maybe, there is a bug going around.  I know several people who have had the illness, and it certainly seems to fit a certain pattern.  It might even pose a danger if you are old or in ill-health.  But that doesn't change the fact that the reaction to the virus was worse than the virus itself and in the end Covid-19 was a hoax.  If we had simply done nothing in response to the outbreak of this illness we would have fared better off.  And further, had we done nothing, you probably wouldn't have even noticed.  People just would have thought of it as the flu.

How was it a hoax?  How is it possible that the whole entire world is convinced that this thing was real, and not only real but really dangerous as well?  How could so many people be fooled?  Don't you believe the science?  Actually, no.  I don't believe the science.  I'm anti-science.  To illustrate with an example of how it is possible that the whole world could believe a falsehood, take a look at the moon landing.  Supposedly man landed on the moon in 1969 when Nixon was president.  I was taught that this was a fact in second grade, so it must be true.  The whole world believes it.  Well, if you believe that I don't blame you but you probably haven't looked into it too deeply.  The more you look into it, the more you will become convinced that the moon landing was a hoax.  For a very entertaining dive into the subject, read this series of articles by Dave McGowan.  It is both hilarious and extremely convincing.

Another thing that I was taught about when I was in second grade was "global warming."  When global warming didn't pan out, they re-named it "climate change," and now anytime we have weather that was different than last week people shrug their shoulders and shake their heads and say "climate change."  Then we go on about our day.  This is not to deny that we are polluting the atmosphere, but we need to make a distinction between pollution and climate change.  Pollution is real.  It is not good.  Climate change is a hoax.  It is an elaborate way to create a tax with which to fund the one world government that will eventually be ruled by the anti-christ.  But that is a topic for another day.

Prepare to Die

A few years ago I was contacted by my priest who asked me if I could give a ride to church to a new member of our community.   He was a college age kid (Zoomer) who attends the local university.   He gave me the boy’s phone number and I arranged to pick him up outside of his dormitory.   He came to church with me, and stayed after the service for coffee hour.   The boy’s name was Adam.   Sitting around the table during coffee hour our conversation turned towards politics and somehow the name of Nick Fuentes came up.   Suddenly, out of nowhere, Adam turned to me and asked me point blank “would you die for Nick?”   I was taken aback, and didn’t exactly know how to respond.   It was clear to me by the way Adam had asked this question that he had already settled the question in his own mind, and if I had asked him the same question he would have answered in the affirmative.   This isn’t the first question that a normal person would have asked in polite company.   Under normal circumstance

Don't Sleep on Young P.

I work as a groundskeeper at a hospital.   I’ve been working there for 18 years.   It’s a four man crew.   I’m the only person in the department who graduated from high school, and sometimes I feel out of place.   When I was in high school I went to class and passed without having to study.   The guys in my department skipped class to smoke cigarettes and joints, probably.   They didn’t study either, probably.   The previous lead of our department also didn’t graduate high school.   He could barely even read or write.   When he would try to write “grounds” (as in “grounds department”) he would spell it “gronds.”   I could just picture him staring into space and trying to pronounce the word phonetically, mouthing the “o” sound, when he figured that one out.   Nobody ever said anything to him because it probably wouldn’t have done any good because he was so hard headed that he was impervious to being told anything.   Also, we thought it was funny.   You can read “gronds” every day and it

Since You Asked…

Lately I’ve been on a kick promoting monasticism on social media.   I got a lot of pushback because of it, and that’s okay.   I think the crux of the matter was that people who were already married or are planning on getting married took it personal when I laid out the argument that monasticism is a higher path than marriage.   Where did I get such a ridiculous idea, anyway?   Allow me to explain. First, I’ll cite a few sources.   I have two books called The Law of God .   One is by the priest Daniel Sysoev who was killed in a church in Moscow by a Muslim man who was angry that he had been converting Muslims to Orthodoxy, and who is generally known for his missionary work in bringing people from other faiths into the true faith.   In the section of his book dedicated to the sacraments of the Church he has a subsection on monasticism.   In this section he cites the apostle Paul who “says that one who remains a virgin is more blessed than one who enters into marriage…This does not mean t
