The place of truth

 You'll always discover what a hypocrite such as a Catholic or Anglican priest is really made of on his home turf. 

In Enniskillen, they are condescending boors and pious informers coming and going to government institutions such as state hospitals. On the theme of sanctimonious hypocrites and bullies,in England,you will see what any workman thinks of you in his place of work. 

We associate modern American-style Catholicism with Judaism. We say to those who they depend on, their businessmen, broadcasters and shopkeepers,"If you owe someone money,their commercial agent will try to get it back from you."

 That is the unbending law of the Jews and moneylenders and strikebreakers,all.

Those,that said,who do not like the concept of Judaism and its companion,Christianity, do not like commerce or any form of trade and financial dealing. 

They believe,and the Provos are typical of the type,in cash transactions only. As with the Provos,they do not believe in the rules of civilised society,but rather raucous discourse in public and disorderly behaviour in private. Like Irish and German farmers, the Provos have the instincts of feral rats. 

Not only that,Provo politicians think and act like polecats. Sinn Fein publicans wives behave in the style of upper-class tomcats with all the airs and graces of Lily O Reilly-Mc Donald and her daughter,Mary-Louise.

.....

"You will always know someone who has let you down-I am referring to a loose woman or serial offender such as a solicitor -by the fact that he will meet you at the door of a church or,even worse, inside a place of worship. He does so because Jesus is reputed to have said,"If you deny me before the courts,I shall deny you before the temple". Have nothing more to do with either person. By inviting further contact after being disowned,you are risking ridicule by having anything more to do with either her or him. However,a particularly conscientious sort of solicitor who believes in Gospel values will meet you regularly in a church. That is the only exception to the rule but there are no exceptions with a loose woman,not a single one."

Dimanche?

....A dimanche toujours la vérité,to use the mediaeval version of 'en dimanche toujours la vérité' is a good  guide in these troubled times. Sunday is a day of rest and prayer,a day of truth. But in the North and South, Saturday after 11.45 am is part of Sunday, part of the day of truth in the Catholic canon. This 'day of truth' lasts until fall of darkness on a Sunday evening in the English vernacular. 

The rise of secularism? A contradiction in our ever-on-the-go Irish Republic..

The Free State gougers,gurriers and scumbags on the streets and in sports booths at RTE and on musical shows torment their targets even on a Sunday such is the grip of the petty proprietor and publican and tradesman in the South. 

Similarly, Sunday is not a day of truth for an Evangelical or Christological preacher,pastor or clergyman who is often under a lot of pressure from ungrateful curmudgeons. He has to work unsocial hours while being the target of unrealistic expectations...

......the moral being ex mira mira or nothing good comes of being stressed out or of being overworked....

....

Is there a place of truth?

Let us hypothesise for the purposes of discernment, 

"You only learn about the truth of the matter and who your real friends and detractors are, in a place of prayer on a Sunday". 

.....

The other side of the coin for the supplicant...say to yourself as your father would,"Pay your dues to the Church and they won't send people to follow you around unless,that is,they want more or think ,'You are good for a few more pounds, shillings and pence. '"

....

The nub of the matter with spies such as undercover policemen and the growing number on the Secret Service list....

I say,ask a police spy or clerical witness if they have signed the Official Secrets Act on a Sunday to dispel doubt and......

..... never tell an idler or mouthpiece how much you receive in pay or social security because an idle hand lives by gossip. He is a zapporo-zhets. He lives off many people,a profligate sort of person who has a lot in common with the temple prostitutes (see the tale of King Asa,Book of Kings or Chronicles).

We will never be free of false religious testimony which originates with gurus and false evangelical teachers until we are free of organised religion and clergymen's fellow travellers,policemen.

As regards the three propositions of my opening paragraph,aren't those three anachronisms the founding values of modern society as it affects many people caught in the cross-hairs of secular and sacred?

.....

"If someone doesn't go into a Catholic Church or talk to you in one, don't have anything more to do with him if you are a Catholic. He is no friend of yours and often he keeps up a pretence to fool you into thinking that you have something in common with him. Pass no remarks on women anywhere. They only believe in appearances particularly religious women or women who go to church. Be careful about what charities you give to and give politicians and solicitors no money. They're paid by third parties to represent you. Help a friend and he will help you. Have a few good friends and tell fair-weather companions 'Get lost!' wherever you meet them."

.....

"Someone who pays his debts on a Sunday or gives things away then,is in the last chance saloon and will end up destitute and hungry living in rented accommodation unless he has a good store set by and in fact is donating to a worthy cause such as needy people who helped him on some occasion."

"Disordered affections"

 Where you have quiet diplomacy,there you have a Catholic clergy man...

Where you have a bible-thumper,there you find bitterness,rancour and division..

Where you find argument and anger,there you find a lawyer..

Where you find violence,there you find a soldier..

Where you find mischief and corruption, there you will find a policeman..

Where you find hunger and want,you will find a rich man..

Where you find homelessness,there you will find a landlord...

Where you find a child,there you will find a mother..

Where you find peace,there you will find a man of truth and wisdom..

Where you find betrayal,there you will find a spy..

Where you find medicine,there you will find a doctor..

Where you find psychiatry,there you shall find a meddler..

Where you find a farmer,there you will find naivete, unmannerliness and ignorance..

Where you find an abortionist,there you will find Death..

The IRA dimension

In 1982,I reported two Dublin IRA training officers to Mick Mc Manus and Liam Mc Girl for "promoting" Marxist literature.

Both Derek 'John' Doyle and Thomas Byrne were forced to leave Ireland but maintained their connections to the Dublin IRA. They had been found guilty of treachery to the IRA because both of them have information to the Gardai about me. The IRA never enforced "Walter Mitty" Sean Mc Bride's views on any type of literature because every underground organisation hoists a poltroon up onto its standard to suffer on their behalf, something Sean Mc Bride only rarely had to do because like all ringleaders, he gave information to Gardai. Nobody took him seriously. Everyone realised that he lived in the reflection of his own image.

 Daniel Ortega and Lula da Silva are no different from Gerry Adams in their high-and-mighty attitude. Everyone,no matter how long the time might be in coming,gets fed up with eejits such as politicians and similar nincompoops.

Chaos or Intelligent Design?

It is all well and good to counterpose chaos theory as in Marxism (or nuclear physics) to intelligent design but in Marx's conclusions to his philosophical exegeses there comes interdependence and interdependence as in the marriage relationship.

Setting out on his journey of a rationalist philosophy (Darstellung) of society,politics and the economy,Marx in his Letter to Ruge,1843 talked of bellum omnium contra omnes or 'war of everything against everyone' ('chaos theory').

In his later German Ideology (1855-6,Brussels) he rejects The Holy Family of bell,book and crown and describes historical conditions as determining consciousness.

...

Having been once an afficionado of left-wing groups, I realise that Irish Trotskyite groups base their atheist views of 'chaos theory'. 

When we are confronted by the infinity of Time and the multiplicity of existence in all its rages,obstacles and diversity,we realise eventually that there is Intelligent Design and a strange type and form of order. 

Those who believe that plankton divided in the sea and this binary set of particles later gave rise to human life should stop smoking those 'funny' cigarettes.

Change your brand,Mr Boyd Barret,or is it something stronger you're taking like 'smack' to get your rhetorical fighting game up because doctors give morphine to some difficult and contrary people as indicated by their boisterous, contrary behaviour in political defiance of the laws of God and Man.

Mr. Barrett,you may well be the contemporary representation of The Great Deceiver who is once more amongst us like a modern-day Herod. Do I  hear you asking, "Tell me where he is to be born so that I can go and worship him too"?

 Richard,the role allocated to your admirers and your fellow travellers, screeching Sinn Fein harridans is played out by their leader, a fat,pill-popping old woman "whose hips have never known the pain of child-bearing".

Goodbye, Richard! Hello,Mary-Lou!

The modern atheists,I am referring to Darwin (of "the survival of the fittest") and Marx and his deus ex machina) and Sigmund Freud (of "Future of an Illusion") were at odds with the man who saw race (gens,Kuhne,kin,cine)  and law-governed  patriarchy in communism, namely the aged Engels.In the final months of his life,Engels discerned the key to modern socialist progress in morality. Read his epigram from March 1895 on how Roman soldiers stationed in Baalbek refused to fight by indicating with a red cross on their helmets that they were Christians (1895 Introduction to Marx's Class Struggles in France 1850 to 1852). 

Non este,say some in the East, Europe and North America. They say,"The only constant is change". 

Me, myself,I?

Peace,Eternal Peace,is where CHANGE meets CHRISTIANITY.

Vollendum est,say I to myself and my do-dheanta prosaic ramblings.

Christian charity. Socialism 

In opposing intelligent design to chaos,the Church deals firmly with the Pharasaical notions of private charity only. In our times,the Pharisees philosophical tenet increases social need and aggravates political chaos.

Other readers of the Bible such as the German Lutherans,Russian Marxists and free market economists,not forgetting those who do not accept the necessity of state support to property holders in crisis or aid to unemployed workers and low paid workers in dire need, should remember that the charitable impulse is the only thing that separates a man from a beast. 

....

In summa delicti?

The immeasurable harm done by Reagan and Margaret Roberts and Denis Thatcher has taken forty years to rectify. They believed in market chaos or'letting it rip'.

If people such as those blacklegs-and Trump and Farage are typical of the type-ever gain influence again then a helter skelter of misery and  political mendacity will take the place of the Welfare State and the  US and other countries shall have lower forms of social provision suited to backward states at their more impoverished levels of development.
