"The new feudalism" "It looks like the Mafia, it smells like the Mafia, it is the Mafia" – Lecture on the book by political scientist and publicist Hermann Ploppa (With video) December 15, 2025 by WS. Reading time: 1 minute. In his book "The New Feudalism," political scientist Hermann Ploppa describes the puppet masters behind the rampant expropriation and disempowerment of the people, and where they intend to lead us. His lecture begins with warnings from the middle class and the question of whether we are sliding into a new form of lawlessness. Ploppa traces the line from historical feudalism to today's power structures and talks about privatization, BlackRock, platform capitalism, corruption and the role of media and think tanks such as the Atlas Network. Further topics of the lecture include party politics as a vehicle for lobbying interests, the pressure on small and medium-sized enterprises, and the question of how citizens can regain more sovereignty and defend themselves against …More
Yes, the Above quote is correct, too bad a lot of Catholics don't realize this Truth of Life. SSA, divorced and remarried are "Todas, Todas, Todas" to quote Pope Francis. Welcome! Where are the St Thomas Acquinas in our Clergy?

According to Ed Dowd, a former portfolio manager at BlackRock, the COVID vaccines "were designed to take care of a pension problem with the boomers, and then bring in 10 to 15 million younger, mostly male folks as replacement population."

"Then it (the soul) comes to the knowledge of the divine Scriptures, where it must show itself meek in its piety, lest it should venture to condemn that which seems absurd to the unlearned, and should itself be rendered unteachable by obstinate disputations. After that, it now begins to know in what entanglements of this world it is held by reason of carnal custom and sins: and so in this third stage, in which there is knowledge, the loss of the highest good is mourned over, because it sticks fast in what is lowest."
[St. Augustine of Hippo – IV-V Century AD; Thagaste, Roman Empire/Hippo, Western Roman Empire; (aged 75) – Church Father – Doctor of the Church – Blessed; Resting Place – Pavia, Italy] CHAPTER. III.--10. There are in all, then, these eight sentences. For now in what remains He speaks in the way of direct address to those who were present, saying: "Blessed shall ye be when men shall revile you and persecute you." But the former sentences He addressed in a general way: for He did not say, Blessed are ye poor in spirit, for yours is the kingdom of heaven; but He says, "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven:" nor, Blessed are ye meek, for ye shall inherit the earth; but, "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth." And so the others up to the eighth sentence, where He says: "Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." After that He now begins to speak in the way of direct address to those …More

A report by La-Croix.com on December 14 describes the rise in France of young Catholics who attend both the Novus Ordo and the Mass in the Roman rite. The article cites a Bayard–La Croix survey conducted by Ifop: • 9% of regular Mass-goers say the Latin Mass is their preferred form; • 25% appreciate it as much as Eucharist in French; • 67% of weekly Mass-goers say they have no objection to the Tridentine rite. La Croix identifies a generation of “bi-ritual” Catholics, mostly under 35 and living in large cities. They reject labels and do not see themselves as part of a “parallel Church,” a term used by Pope Francis in 2021 when restricting the Roman rite. At Saint-Georges parish in Lyon, many young adults and families attend the Latin Mass. Grégoire, 31, says he began going five years ago with his wife, who was already attached to the traditional liturgy. He recalls having “preconceived ideas about this world of traditional Catholics,” but now alternates easily between rites. “…More
Sun Dec 21, 2025 - 12:01 am ESTFri Dec 19, 2025 - 5:35 am EST (LifeSiteNews) — The Church announces to us today, in her Office of Lauds, these solemn words: Fear not: for on the fifth day, our Lord will come to you. This is the last feast the Church keeps before the great one of the Nativity of her Lord and Spouse. She interrupts the Greater Ferias in order to pay her tribute of honor to Thomas, the apostle of Christ, whose glorious martyrdom has consecrated this twenty-first day of December, and has procured for the Christian people a powerful patron that will introduce them to the divine Babe of Bethlehem. To none of the apostles could this day have been so fittingly assigned as to St. Thomas. It was St. Thomas whom we needed; St. Thomas, whose festal patronage would aid us to believe and hope in that God whom we see not, and who comes to us in silence and humility in order to try our faith. St. Thomas was once guilty of doubting, when he ought to have believed; and only learned …

12/21/2025 Entire blog as a free PDF eBook. If we label corruption as lobbying and declare it legal, it remains common, often criminal, bribery. If we refer to civilians killed—whether accidentally or not—not as victims of war but as collateral damage, it changes nothing—they are victims of human brutality in war. If a ceasefire is declared and yet defenseless civilians are still shot, we are still dealing with genocide. All these situations have one thing in common: The public more readily accepts crimes against others when they are properly named. Chris Hedges is a Pulitzer Prize-winning author and journalist who served as a foreign correspondent for The New York Times for fifteen years. Chris Hedges published an article on his website, chrishedges.substack.com, on Monday: Rebranding Genocide. First, it was Israel’s right to defend itself. Then it was a war, even though, by Israel’s own military intelligence database, 83 percent of the casualties were civilians. The 2.3 million …
