That's some full on Mao, Stalin and Pol Pot.....speak right there.

Another great issue, @Ashe. Thank you, and thanks to the entire Badlands stable.

I am an American, born and raised here. I have a Bachelor's degree in English, my native language. I read much. Our legal system is so complex, and the language required to navigate it, is so tedious that I cannot read an article about a case and understand what point is being made or reported without interpretation. Is this what we are destined to live with?

Donna Ruth's avatar

Yes, it is obscure, tedious, and seemingly fraught with a purpose to deny comprehension to the average citizen. In short, snobbish bullying.

We are seeing the same in earnest now in the last 12 years during the Francis papacy and the topic of “synodality.” Documents are filled with manipulative, obscure “synodal” bully language in what seems to be a well-planned effort to re-create the Church. It remains to be seen if Leo intends to follow this path, but early murmurings suggest it will be more of the same, culminating in a major shift in an October 2028 gathering May the Lord correct them.

I am hoping for Archbishop Vigano to weigh in.

I am reading the new book released October 10, “The Trojan Horse in the Catholic Church” by Fr Enoch, with a forward by Cardinal Müller. It is available on Amazon in paperback and on kindle. Jaw-dropping is not strong enough. We suspected much of this but the author combs through the history and the documents of the Synod gatherings in the last few years.

Truly a Trojan Horse - nearly all the way in. Shudder. Our marching orders must be to pray our little hearts out. We are talking rank heresy - and, dare we say it, evil.

GregoryPravda's avatar

Thank you, I definitely need to read this one.

I almost lost a friendship a couple weekends ago because I asserted that Roman Catholicism was hijacked by the Deceiver and it's an entire religion that's following Satan (but they don't realize it).

Thanks for your comment, Gregory.

I am a serious Catholic who studied her way back into the Church 40+ years ago. The Lord touched me in a special way to jumpstart a re-examination of the faith of my childhood. I lived without faith for 15 years and well know how utterly desolate and sad it is to turn one's face away from God.

I love the Church as revealed in her sacraments, teachings, encyclicals, liturgy (TLM, Ad orientam NO, Ukrainian Catholic). We know holy priests who inspire us with their faith and their deep love of God. But all that matters is that we seek to love Him more deeply each day.

It stands to reason the Church will be attacked by satan, and she has been undergoing a full-scale barrage for decades now.

Popes, bishops, and priests come and go, but the fullness of the Church stands - perhaps even in an remnant state - but the gates of Hell shall not prevail. We are called to grow in knowledge, love, and service of God. The rewards are out of this world :^)

May the Lord bless us, protect us from evil, and bring us to life everlasting. Amen.

You're not alone. The very language of legalese was designed to separate from and obfuscate the truth and English is, truly, the most perfect language on Earth in which to bury it. I'm writing a book about this presently... from Hebrew to Greek to English and legalese. Double speak, changed definitions, and dual-defined words (Websters vs Black's Law). Our language is intentionally keeping us in the dark and is resulting in what we see today.

Jordan Merhib's avatar

Thank you for your insight, and I agree. We have reached "communication stasis" where it is possible to find data, and prove virtually every position, even opposite ones, logically with the right words. I look forward to your book.

At times like these, I wonder if the Marquis de Lafayette looks down and thinks "this isn't exactly what I had in mind, my friends".

No, it’s what was designed to ensnare and control us.

—-It’s always been about the children at the core….and the ancient pagan gods the cabal apparently still believes in.

—-If I had done what Bolton did (had a high clearance), I would be in jail. Plus, when I retired, my clearance was immediately suspended, as it should have been. People underestimate the knowledge associated with these clearances and when individuals (you know who I mean) retain clearances years after being out of the position that warranted them, one knows there’s something wrong 😑. I wonder how many spouses are actually the handlers, too, Ashe!

—-‘Nazi’ assumes a whole new meaning when associated with Ukraine. Hmmm….Prussia.

—-🧐. Ghost, interesting relationships Israel’s intelligence has had with terror groups…

—-Funny (kind of) watching Cuomo attempting to be the good guy….

—-Free Tina Peters! Jail her prosecutors for treason. (Or whatever other sentence that can be applied for those guilty of said treason.)

—-I’m convinced, BB….it’s against globalism and the head leg of the triangle of global power is England. Now, about those other two legs…..👀

—-Israel saved for last? 🧐 Netanyahu betrays whom?…..

—-Hmmm. Wonder what Patricia Krenwinkle knows…particularly given the CIA machinations surrounding the cult’s leader and actions

God bless the truth seekers! Thank you.

Hi Altab?

Re: Israel saved for last? 🧐 Netanyahu betrays whom?…..

I would bet he betrayed just everyone around him, starting with God Himself!

It certainly appears that way on the surface, Trumpist!!❤️🕊️🇫🇷

Which Bibi's surface do you think about ?? 🤔😉😃

🤔. One has to wonder how many he has/had….

Maybe that's why 🇮🇱 Israel 🇮🇱 will be saved for the last: God seems to be still counting them while unfolding Bibi's life ! 😉🤗😃

The first article about funding the military using special manipulation of our tax money seems very important to me. The President refers to our Constitution to justify his manipulation, but why is that necessary? The whole thing is confusing to me.

Our shutdown government is funding our “Mandatory Spending” and refusing to fund our “Discretionary Spending”. But the mandatory is defined to be Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. These are not even mentioned in the Constitution. What is demanded in the founding document is our national defense. So, how can our Congress refuse to pay our military while they gladly pay our retirees?

Am I the only one who sees the ridiculousness of this situation? How has America come to this Constitutional crisis in 2025, but our news media is oblivious. We truly have been duped into buying the crazy system that now defines our reality. America really needs a history lesson because our manipulation has been well documented all along the way along our road to serfdom. It isn’t like we weren’t warned, but here we are.

The government shutdown is showing us about our real problem. The problem is our government! Please note how insignificant the shutdown is in reality and who is being harmed. The truth is right in front of us if we merely open our eyes.

“Our Take: In his call with Putin today, Trump referred to the war with Ukraine as “inglorious.”

“The film ‘Inglourious Basterds’ is about the hunting of Nazis. Putin refers to the Ukraine War as a De-Nazification effort. All alongside Putin and Melania discussing the plight of children.”

There is so much we do not know about this proxy war. But a serious problem with a nazification there has been popping up for over a decade. Where there is smoke …

@Ashe: "What does it mean to “pull a Khashoggi”?" Check out Adnan Khashoggi - the world's richest arms dealer...In 1988, Khashoggi was arrested in Switzerland accused of concealing funds. He was swiftly extradited to the US on charges of racketeering and fraud, but later cleared by a Federal jury. The damage to his reputation was done though and the court cases came thick and fast after that. He began defaulting on debts and in the early Nineties his empire and obscene lifestyle quickly unravelled.

Hello HGV !

I wonder if there wouldn't be a misunderstanding about the name... 🤔

Please have a look to this Brave AI summary:

"Jamal Khashoggi, a Saudi journalist and Washington Post columnist critical of the Saudi government and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, was murdered on October 2, 2018, inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey He entered the consulate to obtain documents for his upcoming marriage to his fiancée, Hatice Cengiz, and was last seen on CCTV entering the building at 13:14 local time […]"

Two different men - so I guess it would depend on what individual 2 was implying.

Exactly why I asked the question. What did Bolton and his fellow spies mean?

"Our Take: What isn’t being disclosed to the public is that there are ISIS-affiliated gangs (rivals of Hamas) who are funded and armed by Netanyahu.

Those are the people Hamas is going after, not innocent Palestinians – which wouldn’t make much sense, logically, unless you believe that Hamas are deranged animals as the public has been conditioned to believe."

Therein lies the problem -- it's very difficult for the average person to know what to believe. We don't even really know who is doing the disclosing or the intended effect of its timing toward resolving our "problems". Problem->Reaction->Solution.

“If Hamas continues to kill people in Gaza, which was not the deal, we will have no choice but to go in and kill them,” he warned in a Truth Social message."

NO, Mr. President we most certainly do have a choice.....and that should be NO.

Walk away.....

GregoryPravda's avatar

The thing we lack is actual knowledge of facts and strategy so we are forced to infer and hypothesize. Intentional disinfo in a war of stories is expected though and given Trump's efforts here I'm sure "kill Hamas" is designed to placate Israel, doesn't mean we'll actually do it.

The Civil Case Against Jon Herold Looks Serious. If Badlands was a listed company, the share price would be tanking and there'd be a shorting rush.
