Elon Musk: The Man Who Saved America

DRAFT

military brass thinks Trump is more of a threat to the nation, than its pursuit of DEI policies. Such behavior is idiotic and treasonous.  Why the top military brass, if they have a modicum of self-awareness and integrity, should present their letter of resignation no later than January 1, 2025

The Democratic Party's actions had left many U.S. citizens feeling humiliated. Signs of a Trump victory were proclaimed well before Biden withdrew from the race. The voters had had enough

The 2024 Election Results tells me unequivocally that the X-Factor was Elon Musk: The Man Who Saved America. Why, you may ask? I'll tell you. For starters, he averted the proverbial last blow as described in Without Firing a Single Shot, America’s Infidels Are Now Atheists. November 5, 2024 could be the last blow.



Dominion Software V.0: From the film, The Free State of Jones

Whether the role Elon Musk's X played in the 2024 election fighting misinformation was calculated, coincidental or providential, the role that X played in the 2024 election rivals only the role Dominion Software played in the 2020 election.

 A few monts back I wrote: Is Elon Musk a hypocrite as his critics say for the way he manages content on X? An incompetent businessman as Bette Midler charges? A Don Quixote Battling the Free Speech Windmills of Social Media or cyber-utopia as Evgeny Moroz might say. History tells us that freedom of speech and social media has been proven to be an Oxymoron, there’s one man on earth today that can prove history wrong: Elon Musk. If anything, Musk is a visionary. If anyone can brake through the Freedom of Speech on Social Media Paradox, is Elon Musk

What happened

The 2024 Kamala Harris campaign, with the exception of abortion, was mostly based on platitudes, like not going back, celebrity endorsements, name-calling: racists, misogynist, dictator, ignorant, uneducated and so on. Despite warnings of a colossal gender gap, Women were more evenly split than in 2020.

If you paid attention to media coverage including social media activity leading up to November 5th and you ran sentiment analysis models disregarding the pareto rule of social media: 20% of prolific users post 80% of the content where posts are retweets, likely to contain misleading statements or misinformation and 80% of the users are registered Democrat, you would guarantee a Kamala Harris win, not unlike Allan Lichtman's prediction: "I admit I was wrong. I called a Harris win and she didn't win. But I was far from the only forecaster that was wrong. Most other models were wrong." Lichtman said on a YouTube livestream.

Allan Lichtman makes my argument, that Elon Musk was instrumental in the outcome of the presidential election- but like the NYT and the MSM, Musk neutered their Propaganda 

 

The results of the 2024 presidential were unexpected, if not downright shocking for Democrats. 

The DNC admited as much, after all, the New York Times/mainstream media were projecting Kamala Harris was going to win: Yet the Kamala Harris campaign is $20 million in debt. Lindy Li, a member of the DNC Finance Committee, said she and others were misled. Pollster Luntz told CNN’s MJ Lee that the president holds “a lot of blame” for her defeat and a number of Democrats have slammed Biden for his decision to seek reelection last year, declaring that he “hung on too long” before abandoning his presidential bid in July. A Harris aide has also pointed to a moment during the vice president’s interview on “The View” last month, when she told hosts that she couldn’t think of something she could’ve done differently from Biden over the past four years, Reuters reported. But Occam’s Razor suggests the NYT/MSM ‘experts’ played a big part on the failed campaign by misleading its subscribers and advertisers – a sort of red journalism.

The New York Times wants your family to know how to spot Disinformation;  Disinformation in the Age of Artificial Intelligence:
Jeff Hancock, Stanford expert on 'lying and technology' accused of lying about technology. Don't forget Stanford's #two projects. Nor Stanford's president forced to resign. And the crown jewels of Disinformation? NYT/MSM

Terms added to the Progressive Logic handbook: #ConspiracyTheory, #Disinformation in the Age of #artificialintelligence 

6.  Conspiracy theory - an argument against the prevalent progressive narrative propagated by the NYT/MSM which turns out to be true

7.  Disinformation. In the artificial intelligence age. Information deemed to go against progressive interests as determined by #StanfordUniversity's #twoprojects,  #JeffHancock,.expert on 'lying and technology' accused of lying about technology, Stanford University President #MarcTessierLavigne, forced to step down and NYT/MSM 

The 2024 presidential election results also show that the ‘uneducated’ and ‘ignorant’ like the other ad hominem attacks were just that. What it all boils to is free stuff.

While Trump ran a substantive campaign based on issues; the economy, border, inflation, crime, war and freedom of religion.

The NYT led the mainstream media cheering squad promoting the sizzle campaign, while surrogates used social media as a boom box to expand on the strategy like announcing a daily celebrity endorsement and post misinformation, vonsusten with previous Pew Research findingd.

Exhibit A: Situational Awareness Challenged New York Times.  It's post election journalism just like before 

I've said I will never bet against Elon Musk and for the most part I have liked what he has done with X, previously known as Twitter.  I got my Twitter Blu checkmark, then after  X's CEO Linda Yaccarino unveiled the 'Freedom of Speech, not Freedom of reach,"  I let the mark expire.

Gross Misapplication of the Theory of Allo
NYT starts CYA 'reporting'
It's a great victory for America
It's a great victory for free speech
It's a total repudiation of mainstream media
Why Elon Mask is the Man Who Saved America

My biggest gripe was X's CEO Linda Yaccarino's 'Freedom of Speech, not Freedom of reach strategy.' What this means practically is that if you pay, you get the exposure.  Otherwise it's like the proverbial tree that falls in the forest that nobody hears.  

Apparently others saw similar phenomenon on X

The X advertisers cater to the woke users and that's the most prevalent point of view you hear.  Then came a change in X's Community Notes implementation, which basically gave Democrats free reign to post misinformation.

The New X Community Notes Policy is a glorified popularity contest and not a bona fide fact-checking operation. If users don’t like the output, the Community Notes author is exiled.

 The New X Community Notes refuses to fact-check Joe Biden and the Democratic Coalition. If anyone attempts such feat, he will soon be banned from Twitter. If a Twitter subscriber wants to refute Joe Biden’s assertions, they will need to pay Twitter for the additional word count and even then, more than likely, they will be throttled or shadowbanned, unless they belong to an X Influencer silo.

Further, Pew Research reports on the Pareto Rule of Social Media aka the 90-10 Rule. A small minority of users create the vast majority of tweets from US adults. 70% of these highly prolific tweeters are Democrats: Most U.S. adults on Twitter post only rarely. But a small share of highly active users, most of whom are Democrats, produce the vast majority of tweets. The Center’s analysis finds that just 10% of users produced 92% of all tweets from U.S. 69% of these highly prolific users identify as Democrats or Democratic-leaning independents.

According to 2020 Pew Research Study, X users follow the Pareto Principle. The Pareto principle, also known as the 80/20 rule, maintains that 80 percent of the output from a given situation or system is determined by 20 percent of the input. The Pareto Principle applies to Elon Musk’s firing 80% of Twitter’s staff, for example.

Consequence of X’s, (Twitter’s) new policies: intended, or unintended, plays right into the Democrat Coalition’s hands. Elon Musk has turned X into the Democrat Coalition’s Biggest Boom Box in the World – if we didn’t know better, we could say, it was by design

The Progressive Universe Hates Elon Musk - Almost As Much as Donald Trump

Is Elon Musk a hypocrite as his critics say for the way he manages content on X? An incompetent businessman as Bette Midler charges? A Don Quixote Battling the Free Speech Windmills of Social Media or cyber-utopia as Evgeny Moroz might say. History tells us that freedom of speech and social media has been proven to be an Oxymoron, there’s one man on earth today that can prove history wrong: Elon Musk. If anything, Musk is a visionary. If anyone can brake through the Freedom of Speech on Social Media Paradox, is Elon Musk

In the Beginnig

The same people who mourned the death of the Buddhas, the destruction of artifacts of Afghan culture, and celebrated the removal of not only Confederate Leaders but also Teddy Roosevel now battle Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter. Writing for Fortune Magazine, Steve Mollman writes: Musk has owned Twitter under a week and big names are already leaving the platform, complaining about a hate surge, and calling for tighter regulation “That didn’t take long. It’s been four days since Elon Musk finalized his $44 billion takeover of Twitter, and already he’s facing pushback from celebrities, lawmakers, and advertisers worried about Musk's management style.

Progressives complain about freedom of speech while calling Musk a traitor- in his own platform!

Bob Fertik, President of democrats.com, was not happy with Elon Musk. In fact, his last mass mailing calls Elon Musk a traitor for endorsing GOP traitors.

MSM mefia had a field day 

Just days after savaging Paul Pelosi with rightwing lies, Elon Musk endorsed every Republican Traitor for Congress.


These Traitors voted against certifying the landslide victory of Joe Biden right after MAGA’s violent assault on the Capitol on January 6. They willingly joined a GOP coup d’etat to keep Trump in power.

Musk supports Traitors because he’s the world’s richest man – worth $254 billion – and these Traitors will cut his taxes. Musk now owns Twitter and has 115 million followers who may help him elect Traitors – who will pay for Musk’s tax cuts by cutting jobs, health care, education, Social Security, environmental protection – and everything else we urgently need.

So we must stop Elon Musk by making sure every Democrat votes on Tuesday.

Xxx

For as much as the Democratic Coalition hates Elon Musk and free speech, while Musk appears to relish his role as the free speech superhero, X is now the Democrats’ World’s Biggest and Loudest Boom Box. 

In the Beginning 

The Taliban of the West vs. Musk

But Musk is no stranger to controversy. Even before he took control of X, formerly known as Twitter, Musk faced ridicule, praise and vehement opposition by the legacy media, social media, television and politicians, collectively referred to as the Taliban of the West, for his stance on freedom of Speech and his pledge to place Twitter algorithms in the public domain

On X:

Ricky Davila @TheRickyDavila calls Dwayne Johnson coward because Johnson now regrets having voted for Biden.  Would Davila calls Johnson ‘coward’ to his face?

Ricky Davila @TheRickyDavila calls RFJ Jr a deranged chaos hired by white supremacist.

@FrankFigliuzzi1 denigrates Michigan police officers’ union for endorsing president Donald Trump ⁦

@RpsAgainstTrump calls #MGT a moron for publicly professing her faith

@JonCooperTweets just called the Speaker “AntiChristian” for not supporting aid to AntiChristisn Zelensky.

@Kessesinstein says that people of faith like MGT should not be in government 

@Kessesinstein called #CharkesKirk ignorant for his pro life advocacy

Misinformation

Thanks to a lawsuit brought by journalist John Stossel, it “has exposed the left’s supposed battle against  “misinformation” as a farce” according to NY Post’s editorial board. “Facebook finally admitted the truth: The “fact checks” that social media use to police what Americans read and watch are just “opinion” it stated. BotSentinel is just another social media fact-checker

According to the Daily Mail, YouTube has been accused of censorship after it was revealed that it has been removing the ability for users to make money from their videos if they express politically incorrect or offensive views. “And the latest video to fall victim to the site’s new censorship rules is, ironically, one on left-wing censorship.”

We know for instance that Microsoft has a working relationship with a number of CCP-run organizations.  The Daily Wire reports that recently, Bill Gates has been complimentary of current CCP Chairman Xi Jinping. “The area of science, where China is now leading a lot of ways and willing to invest,” Gates said, before boasting to a Chinese state-run media outlet, “that’s been something I discussed with President Xi.”   The National Pulse published an in-depth exposé into the partnership, revealing that the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has been conducting research on bat coronaviruses alongside the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation at the infamous Wuhan Institute of Virology, which is where the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) is believed to have “escaped” after being sent there by Ralph Baric from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. While Trade Spokesperson Peter Navarro has cited Microsoft’s Bing search engine and Skype platform, saying they “effectively are enablers of Chinese censorship, surveillance and monitoring.” Is this why the  FBI Christopher Wray on threats posed by Chinese Government was compelled to single out #LinkedIn

Xx

As I wrote before, if you are on X, and you are not a Democrat or a member of the Legacy Media. you must think you are either in Gotham City or looking to buy the Brooklyn Bridge.

AP News‘ Stephen Groves and Lisa Mascaro wrote  “With an overwhelming vote Saturday, the $61 billion in aid for Ukraine passed in a matter of minutes, a strong showing as American lawmakers race to deliver a fresh round of U.S. support to the war-torn ally. Many Democrats cheered on the House floor and waved blue-and-yellow flags of Ukraine.”

On such news, immediately the biggest virtual celebration of the national security hoax being offered to the military industrial complex gods broke out on X.

the people who mourned the death of the Buddhas and the destruction of artifacts of Afghan culture and History celebrated the removal of not only Confederate Leaders statues, but also Teddy Roosevelt’s – the same people were mourning the sale of Twitter to Elon Musk. Writing for Fortune Magazine, Steve Mollman writes: “Musk has owned Twitter under a week and big names are already leaving the platform, complaining about a hate surge, and calling for tighter regulation “That didn’t take long. It’s been four days since Elon Musk finalized his $44 billion takeover of Twitter, and already he’s facing pushback from celebrities, lawmakers, and advertisers.” Steve Herman tweeting for Bloomberg sounds a different alarm. He tweets: “ A tide of slurs and racists memes swell on #Twitter, sparking concern, the site is entering an era of hateful speech following the takeover by @elonmusk.” We actually found the opposite to be true: LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook – even #Twitter et al have intensified their attack on free speech since Elon Musk bought Twitter. Instagram uses USA Today to fact-check a prayer and agrees with Washington Post and NY Times concludes that Prayer may be hazardous to your health, for example. Does that mean Elon Musk is an incompetent businessman as @BetteMidler implies in an April 7. 2024 on a post on X?

MSM Induced Election-Related Psychosis: Cognitive Dissonance

Orange helps you sleep, Red helps you even better. You see Blue, diagnosis is psychosis

As expected Facebook took exception to this piece. In 2020 Zuckerberg apologized for election interference.  Will he apologize now?

Cognitive dissonance- psychosis - is a psychological term that describes the discomfort you feel when you believe what mainstream media says will happen don’t line up with reality. It generally refers to symptoms related to a break with reality, or a difficulty perceiving what is real and what isn’t

Repugnant:  why MSM should apologize to America

Or it could refer to the tension of holding two conflicting beliefs at once. “Cognitive” means relating to your thoughts. “Dissonance” describes a lack of harmony. Your thoughts – on the one hand, that you consider yourself a staunch supporter of a certain political party and, on the other hand, that you cannot support that party’s policy about the US Constitution, are not in harmony with each other. The discomfort this causes can push you to make a change, either in your behavior or your beliefs, that will make you feel more comfortable. You may feel threatened, insignificant and display an aggressive behavior toward people or things that make you feel small.




According to WebMD

Causes of psychosis include:

Getting new information. When you receive new information that challenges your beliefs – like learning that President Donald Trump soundly defeated Kamala Harris – you can feel cognitive dissonance.

Even on election day, Main Stream Media was projecting a major Kamala Harris' win.

What really happened.

Reality Happens:  Dodged a mortal blow.

Reaction from those with little to no Cognitive Dissonance:

Thank you God. Thank you PNut

Social pressures. Peer pressure often refers to children and teenagers, but adults can behave in a way that goes against their values because of social pressure, too. Laughing at an offensive joke because your Facebook friend told it or because others are laughing is an example of that.

Forced compliance. Being made to do something in public that you don’t agree with can cause cognitive dissonance.

Making a hard decision. Making any difficult decision can lead to cognitive dissonance.

Symptoms of cognitive dissonance.

According to Alta Mira, everyone’s experience is unique, but there are some general and common symptoms of psychosis. These can be triggered by drug use

Hallucinations. These are perceptions from the senses that are not real.

 
Delusions. This is a persistent belief in something that is not true, even when evidence is presented.

 
Disturbed thoughts and emotions. Common with psychosis is disordered thinking, rapid and unorganized speech, inappropriate emotional responses, or a lack of emotions

According to WebMD If you do have cognitive dissonance, you might:

Feel anxiety or stress

 
Feel guilt, shame, or regret

Justify to yourself or to others why you did something

Dismiss or downplay the results of your actions to yourself or others

Feel physical tension in your body, such as tightness in your neck, back, or shoulders

Feel tension or conflict in your relationships if the situation involved another person

Righteous Indignation at Name-Calling: real or feigned?


Just hours ago, the New York Times reported "Donald J. Trump and his allies are full of bravado over his chances of victory in the closing days of the 2024 campaign. But there are signs, publicly and privately, that the former president and his team are worried that their opponents’ descriptions of him as a racist and a fascist may be breaking through to segments of voters." It doesn't report that in 2020 Kamala Harris got 1% of the primary votes. In 2024 she got zero percent of the primary vote. The New York Times previously reported Joe Biden was on top shape, that the economy was up. Then swoosh, something happened. Biden was moved aside and Kamala came in to 'fix' the economy that just days before was in good shape. The NYT didn't report that it had previously argued the US Constitution was dangerous.

How would a rational person react at the results? An acute case of Cognitive Dissonance; Readers reacting to the great difference from what the were told to what actually happened.

On X, 20% of users, identified as progressives, are the most prolific users on the platform, according to Pew Research, accounting for over 80% of the posts. They generally campaign, using progressive logic,  that Kamala Harris ran a 'substantive' campaign.  But Kamala ran on platitudes: celebrity endorsements, name-calling, such as convicted felon, fascist, serial rapists, debunked hoaxes. She would neither defend the Biden-Harris record nor say what she would do differently.

Meanwhile, Trump ran on issues such as,  the border, inflation, crime, war, freedom of religion and freedom of the press.

Clearly Kamala ran the sizzle campaign, Trump had the steak.

Sadly, the mainstream media went full in for the sizzle 

When election results show that every race, creed, gender and age voted for President Trump, but progressives react by call the voters RACISTS - what does that tell you?




Reaction to 2024 Election Results Exhibiting Acute Cognitive Dissonance

It tells me that America deserves an apology from the main stream media. Clearly MSM has abdicated the 4th state. If you have been on X to monitor the election results, traditional journalism is irrelevant. Citizen journalism, also known as the 5th estate has replaced the mainstream media

Can you recognize Cognitive Dissonance 

WebMD says that you can have cognitive dissonance and not even know it. You could be in a state of cognitive dissonance any time you feel guilty about a choice you made or find yourself trying to justify an action that you just took. A cursory look at X clearly shows that most users have no idea they have acute cognitive dissonance.

Way Forward 

Cognitive dissonance theory assumes that, we want to live in a state of cognitive consonance. That is, we want our beliefs and our actions to be in harmony with each other so that wr can be at peace with yourself.


To make that happen, we need to accept the Serenity Prayer:   “God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.” The serenity, often used in 12-step programs and other recovery settings, is a prayer for peace, strength, and wisdom.

Saint Philip Neri's Maxim of the Day for November 6 is a propos:

He who really wishes to become a saint must never defend himself, except in a few rare cases, but always acknowledge himself in fault, even when what is alleged against him is untrue.

Divine Intervention?

Saint Jude was an Apostle of Jesus and  is the patron saint of desperate cases and lost causes. We prayed to St Jude to intercede for us, so we would have our judeo-Christian values restored.

It so happens that after much delay, TODAY, we finally received the statue we ordered 

The Heart Of Jesus As Described By the Saints

Dilexit nos,” Pope Francis’ fourth Encyclical, retraces the tradition and relevance of thought on “the human and divine love of the heart of Jesus Christ,” calling for a renewal of authentic devotion to avoid forgetting the tenderness of faith, the joy of serving, and the fervour of mission. It is packed with testimonies from the saints of prayer and devotion to the heart of Christ throuhout the centuries as described by the pope’s new encyclical.

Jesus revealed to the saint His heart, burning with love for humanity. Pierced and crucified, offering salvation and mercy. Jesus’ heart longs for us to offer our love and devotion in return. If some distorted forms of spirituality focused only on God’s punishment, the Sacred Heart emphasized mercy. If many believers inordinately feared God, here divine love and joy were manifest. If Jesus had seemed distant and unapproachable before, the Sacred Heart beckons us to enter into the divine furnace of charity.

In his “Spiritual Exercises,” St. Ignatius of Loyola (1491–1556) - a Basque Spaniard Catholic priest and theologian, who, with six companions, founded the religious order of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits), and became its first Superior General, in Paris in 1541 - encourages retreatants to contemplate the wounded side of the crucified Lord to enter into the heart of Christ. Ignatius founded the Society of Jesus, also known as the Jesuits, which has promoted devotion to Jesus’ divine heart for more than a century. The society was consecrated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus in 1871.

Other saints mentioned in Pope Francis' encyclical:

St. Francis de Sales (1567–1622)

was a Savoyard Catholic prelate who served as Bishop of Geneva and is a saint of the Catholic Church. He became noted for his deep faith and his gentle approach to the religious divisions in his land resulting from the Protestant Reformation. He is known also for his writings on the topic of spiritual direction and spiritual formation, particularly the Introduction to the Devout Life and the Treatise on the Love of God.

St. John Henry Newman (1801–1890)

St. Margaret Mary Alacoque (1647–1690)

St. Claude de La Colombière (1641–1682)

St. Gertrude of Helfta (1256–1302)

St. Mechtilde of Hackeborn (1241–1298)

St. Vincent de Paul (1581–1660)

St. Catherine of Siena (1347–1380)

St. John Paul II (1920–2005


St. Bernard of Clairvaux (1090–1153)


St. Bonaventure (1221–1274)

St. John Eudes (1601–1680)


St. Charles de Foucauld (1858–1916)

St. Thomas Aquinas (1225–1274)


St. Thérèse of Lisieux (1873–1897)

St. John of the Cross (1542–1591)

St. Ambrose (340–397)

St. Augustine (354–430)

St. Daniel Comboni (1831–1881)

Saint Borromeo, Gives Up Wealth to Become a Zealous Shepherd

November 4th is the Feast Day of Saint Charles Borromeo. He founded the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine and was a leading figure of the Counter-Reformation together with Ignatius of Loyola and Philip Neri. He was responsible for significant reforms in the Catholic Church, including the founding of seminaries for the education of priests. He was canonized by Pope Paul V in 1610

On March 23 in 1564 Charles Borromeo received his pallium as Archbishop of Milan. He was not only the Cardinal/Archbishop of Milan but the most significant person of the Counter-pReformation. He is the patron saint of bishops, cardinals, seminarians, and spiritual leaders.


The Catholic Church honors Saint Borromeo for his holiness, love of God, piety, humility, and devotion. Many Catholic charity organizations, schools, and religious education efforts can trace their origins to St. Charles Borromeo.

You have heard it say: "Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Amen, I say to you, it will be hard for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of God."
And “If you wish to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me. Matthew Chapter 19

Saint Charles Borromeo was born to a wealthy family and his uncle, Pope Pius IV made Charles, aged 22, a Cardinal of the Church. A skeptic might say thar Charles becoming a Cardinal at such a young age, was purely nepotism. But recall Gamaliel, a Pharisee and teacher of the law, respected by all the people, ehen he stood up, said to the Sanhedrin, "For if this endeavor or this activity is of human origin, it will destroy itself. But if it comes from God, you will not be able to destroy them (The Apostles) you may even find yourselves fighting against God.” Acts Chapter 5





Education matters.
While Charles Borromeo was the second son of distinguished and wealthy parents, and seemed like a typical child - had friends, played the violin, went hunting and enjoyed his life - they raised him in an extremely religious atmosphere. When he was twelve, he was given tonsur - shaving the top of a priest or monk's head. This marked him for the priesthood and he was educated with that goal in mind.

Charles studied theology and also earned his degree in law at the University of Pavia in Milan. Because of his organizational and social skills, the Pope promoted Charles to the office of Secretary of State, the Cardinal Protector of several countries and of six religious orders as well as naming him Archbishop of Milan.


In 1562, Charles was appointed to help organize the upcoming Council of Trent. During this planning, Charles’ brother died. This event was life-changing as Charles was forced to look at the meaning and purpose of his life. He decided to reform the Church. He 1) rewrote the catechism 2) started reforms in the preparation of candidates for the priesthood; 3) ordered changes in the prayer book of the Church; and 4) asked the Pope to decree that political appointments could no longer be made in the Church. Many of these reforms, and others with which Charles is credited, grew out of the Council of Trent.




After the Council of Trent, back to Milan as full-time Archbishop, Charkes continued his work with the poor, caring for them in the streets when the plague hit Milan. His heroic behavior during the plague of 1576–78 won him much respect, as he gave away his wealth to feed the hungry and care for the sick in Milan. even saw that the curtains in his palace, his clothes and other possessions were turned into money for medicine for the poor. Charles, the Archbishop of Milan, was usually seen in rags. He taught catechism, found the sick and elderly places to stay, established schools and ran the diocese. He lived a life of prayer, slept little and ate less. He once said, “Here all kinds of poor will be housed, outsiders as well as Milanese; men, women, children because charity knows no distinction of nations, and we are all brothers and sisters in the Lord.”

Toward the end of October in the year 1584, Charles fell ill with a heavy fever and died a few days later.

Prayer to Saint Charles Borromeo

V. Pray for us, O glorious Saint Charles: R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us pray. Ever keep Thy Church, O Lord, we beseech Thee, under the protection of blessed Charles Thy Confessor and Bishop; that through the intercession of him who became glorious by his watchful care over his flock, we may ever burn with love for Thee. Through Our Lord Jesus Christ Thy Son, Who with Thee and the Holy Ghost liveth and reigneth, ever one God, world without end. R. Amen.

We can't expect the American people to covert from Christianity to atheism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small doses until they awaken one day to find that they are no longer a Christian nation

We do not have to invade the United States, we will destroy you from within.


Although once-trusted fact-checkers question the veracity of the source, the statement was prophetic in more ways than one. Democrats like Bernie Sanders and Kamala Harris keep pushing Socialism,

Not too long ago we could safely plan a family outing without worring the children would exposed to indecent behavior whether at the movies, an NFL game, a baseball game. a women's soccer game, an Olympic sports event or even a high school sporting event. No longer.





Gallop reported that, 20 yrs ago, 42% of U.S. adults attended religious services. 10 yrs ago 38%, and currently at 30%. Gallop attributes the decline to an increase in the percentage of Americans with no religious affiliation. But why? Been to the movies lately? 

Because Obama, Hollywood, Netflix legacy media and Politicians have done what Islam has failed to do: Use subliminal Manipulation to convert millions of infidels without firing a single shot. 

 If you are a disciple of Coca-Cola spirituality, Obama, Hollywood, Netflix legacy media and Politicians want you.

The Midnight Mass. A Netflix film is not only a horror movie and pro-Islam but is sacrilegious and a gross mischaracterization of Catholicism.

Meanwhile. All Souls Day has nothing to do with scary things, nightmares or Coco, the film. It’s a Catholic holiday when the living remember our beloved deceased family and friends. In the Mexican culture, All Souls’ Day is known as Día de los Muertos or the Day of the Dead. Pixar immortalized such belief in the movie Coco.

Why Pope Francis warns against becoming “disciples of Coca Cola Spirituality,” using the metaphor to warn against superficial approaches to faith formation.

Common Sense Media gives the film 4 out of 5 stars writing that Coco is “colorful, beautifully animated, and culturally vibrant, Coco is an affecting, multilayered coming-of-age drama. Miguel just wants to make music, even though it’s forbidden to him because his family believes that music cursed them.” It’s actually more than that: it’s artistically appealing and so well-made, it makes it one more in a myriad Hollywood films that contribute to The Subliminally Forced Conversion.






From the Midnight Mass to Coco, there’s a full spectrum of antiJudeo-Christian films consciously designed to weaken the faith.



Children are under attack from all sides. Including Hollywood, The White House, ChuckSchumer, Hakeem Jeffries, Kamala Harris, Main Stream Media and the whole AntiChristian Democrstic coalition: they claim childrem belong to the state & use reproductive freedom as euphemism for abortion on demand.




What you see out of the classroom, including government and the entertainment industry is what Khrushchev predicted and that we refer to as subliminally forced conversion.



November 5th may just be the nail in the head as the Democrat Coalition has bowed not to go back..

Nov 2nd All Souls Day. Separating superstition from verity.

All Souls Day has nothing to do with scary things, nightmares or Coco.

It’s a Catholic holiday when the living remember our beloved deceased family and friends. In the Mexican culture, All Souls’ Day is known as Día de los Muertos or the Day of the Dead.

Pixar immortalized such belief in the movie Coco.

Common Sense Media gives the film 4 out of 5 stars writing that Coco is "colorful, beautifully animated, and culturally vibrant, Coco is an affecting, multilayered coming-of-age drama. Miguel just wants to make music, even though it's forbidden to him because his family believes that music cursed them." It's actually more than that: it's artistically appealing and so well-made, it makes it on more in a myriad Hollywood films that contribute to The Subliminally Forced Conversion.

Forced Conversion Spectrum: From Subliminal to Explicit:  From Coco to AntiCatholic Midnight Mass by self-described atheist Mike Flanagan

Just like in the Middle Ages, people believed the souls of the dead could appear on this day in the form of witches, toads or will-o’-the-wisps. Will-o'-the-wisps are ghosts with lanterns fated to wander aimlessly for removing their neighbor's boundary markers. They believed graveside food offerings supposedly eased the rest of the dead.

While the Church has encouraged prayer for the dead from the earliest times as an act of Christian charity. “If we had no care for the dead,” Augustine noted, “we would not be in the habit of praying for them.” Yet pre-Christian rites for the deceased retained such a strong hold on the superstitious imagination that a liturgical commemoration was not observed until the early Middle Ages, when monastic communities began to mark an annual day of prayer for the departed members.


In the middle of the 11th century, Saint Odilo, abbot of Cluny, France, decreed that all Cluniac monasteries offer special prayers and sing the Office for the Dead on November 2, the day after the feast of All Saints. The custom spread from Cluny and was finally adopted throughout the Roman Church.

The premise of the feast is the acknowledgment of human frailty. Since few people achieve perfection in this life but, rather, go to the grave still scarred with traces of sinfulness, some period of purification seems necessary before a soul comes face-to-face with God. The Council of Trent affirmed this purgatory state and insisted that the prayers of the living can speed the process of purification


Thus All Souls Day is a day for commemoration of all the faithful departed. The prayers of the faithful on earth helps cleanse these souls in order to fit them for the vision of God in heaven, and the day is dedicated to prayer and remembrance. It is part of the three-day triduum dedicated to remembering the dead, beginning with Halloween (October 31) and followed by All Saints’ Day (November 1) and All Souls’ Day (November 2)
