Often the thought processes of the voting masses are incoherent
because their knowledge, the reality, and their basic instincts of survival and
safety are perverted by the globalist agenda but they are too ignorant to
realize that what they espouse is quite contradictory. So they vote into
Congress frightening Millennials like Alexandria Occasio-Cortez, who will now
have the power to fundamentally alter our collective future in the distorted image
of her disordered and ill-informed mind.
It’s not just the political representatives who are working
against the wishes of the people. The Christian clergy of all stripes are
organizing on behalf of foreign invaders looking for welfare and against the
best interests of the American people.
Educators and academics are happy to shape the minds of young
people in their own globalist Marxist vision. They’ve been indoctrinating us
for decades that we cannot mix Church and State, we must tear down any symbol
of Christianity that might offend others, while bending over backwards through
threats and the courts to accommodate a few offended atheists, many offended
Muslims, and other refugee “stock” as the U.N. defines them, mushrooming all
over the world with help from the U.N. Refugee Agency (UNHCR). https://www.unhcr.org/
Citizens in European countries are ahead of the curve in this
indoctrination into Cultural Marxism, a world-wide phenomenon driven by controlling
globalists with large pockets, aiming to erase borders and to destroy every
country’s sovereignty. Ordinary people with good intentions are voting for
their own demise, for the Socialist Democrats, who are short on knowledge and
long on propaganda, corruption, and deceit.
Romanians fight bitterly over investment in the construction
of Orthodox churches. They want instead to improve the declining education of
their children, to build hospitals and roads which they were denied under Ceausescu’s
bleak communist regime. Decades of communist indoctrination and terrible
medical care has confused their priorities. The soul of a person or a nation cannot
be healed through Marxist ideology and globalist education. Faith and church
are needed.
Eastern Europeans admire the wonderful education system in
Western European countries as a model of “global citizenship.” But they fail to
see how morality has decayed there and how they’re losing their national identities,
histories, and their borders to the demands of Angela Merkel’s EU.
European Union “globalist policies” (diversity,
multi-culturalism, manufactured global warming, aggressive anti-fossil fuels environmentalism,
border destruction, the right to unimpeded migrant movement across national
borders) have destroyed smaller countries with “progressivism” that has instead
regressed western civilization and allowed invaders from third world nations to
take over. “While Europe slept,” Europeans lost their national independence and
control over their respective nations’ monetary policies.
Romanians bemoan the fact that too many Orthodox Churches
are being built, that the cost of one church could help build five badly needed
kilometers of interstate.
The church was instrumental in founding universities across
Europe and in the printing of books and educational materials. The oldest universities in Europe were run and
staffed by priests. And where would we be today if beautiful cathedrals were
not built over the centuries by very poor and rich parishioners alike who
donated to the construction funds?
Perhaps Romanians should be outraged not by the expenditures
to build churches but by the 3,000 euros spent each month for every corrupt
politician in Parliament, a financial waste that dwarfs any spending for the
building of a church that would preserve the soul and character of the nation
for generations to come.
People need both cathedrals and hospitals to care for their
souls and their bodies. Churches must not be just museums for tourists, or
places for baptisms, weddings, and last rites.
Additionally, the building of a school or of a library does
not guarantee a proper education or the storing of real knowledge and ideas -
both can be just places of indoctrination.
Why are we visiting in awe the Sistine Chapel and the
Vatican, all gold-leafed and marbled with sarcophagi, religious statues,
paintings, colonnades, murals, mosaics, and objects d’art, reaching sky-high to
Heaven? Poor people suffered for the glory of God, the Church, and the Pope. Good
or bad, it is our collective history, our collective civilization which has
evolved over the centuries of human existence.
Atheists complain about megalomaniacal priests and too many
churches, but who is to say what is too much? Priests have always been vectors
of faith, education, and of the political class in order to steer society’s
mind and soul in the desired direction. A few higher ranked priests like the current
Pope have used their faith podium to dabble in the “scientific consensus” of climate
change and social engineering.
Others argue that people can pray anywhere, they don’t need
a golden church to do so, and money is much better spent on education. What kind
of education would that be? Common Core Standards? Building a fancy library
does not guarantee that people will suddenly start reading. And what would they read and study? “Progressive” propaganda? Will they read the classics? Will they learn
about documented and archived history or revisionist history? Will they learn
civics? Will they learn national pride and to appreciate God and country?
Many former Iron Countries citizens have left their homes
and are building the library of the future in other countries, influencing the
spread of Cultural Marxism they call Socialist Democracy, a sad perversion of
reality which naïve humans believe blindly.
Church and State have been intrinsically connected
throughout history and separating them is destroying the essence of who we are.
We cannot separate the influence of the church from the foundation of the state
no matter how many times atheists and their corrupt lawyers sue.
