Chaos and Confusion vs. Christ and the Crossby Mary Ann Kreitzer All of us at one time or another experience the chaos and confusion of significant weather events. A thunderstorm can completely blind drivers and force them to pull over and wait for rain and hail to subside. A dense fog dulls all the senses creating a sense of weird isolation. Some pilots crash their planes when instruments fail and they can’t tell up from down. An earthquake or hurricane rips through a town leaving chaos, devastation, and loss of life in its wake! People see clearly the results of physical chaos and its damage, but emotional and spiritual chaos can also knock us off balance and lead to serious consequences that, in many ways, are worse than physical effects. For several years the entire world has been drowning in the chaos of COVID. No one was unaffected. People often died alone, an especially tragic situation for those suffering from dementia who felt abandoned. Families were denied visitation and the ability to assist their loved ones. Funerals were strictly limited. The ubiquitous masks and isolation damaged infants and little ones who need facial cues and touch to facilitate language and social development. School closings and suppression of almost everything from sporting events to exercise options to entertainment and recreation exacerbated mental illness and even caused suicides, especially among the young. Worst of all, our churches were closed! Liquor stores could open, but we were locked out of our sanctuaries. At a time when people needed spiritual consolation and hope, government thugs defined religion as “unessential.” To their shame, many of our shepherds went along with it. They failed us, and some acted even more draconian than godless, secular authorities. Anthony Fauci seemed to replace Almighty God for many, even our spiritual fathers. They put their trust in a lying, manipulative “scientist” who helped create the pandemic by funding gain-of-function research that made the virus more lethal and more easily transmitted to humans. I could go into a long list of secular activities bringing about chaos - from the disaster at the border to inflation to horrific brainwashing in the schools, etc. We all know the laundry list of problems. But looming above them all is the big WHY? We hear about “the science” while scientists practicing effective treatments and prophylactics that save lives are silenced. What’s going on? To understand chaos and stand firm against it, one has to examine the big why? Cui bono? What’s the agenda behind the deliberate, organized chaos we are experiencing? To know the enemy is to begin to develope an effective battle plan. So let’s look at a few strategies of the enemy over decades, even centuries, to bring down America and build wealth and power for elitists playing God. Many laugh at unpopular truths, labeling them conspiracy theories; but one conspirator is a genius at manipulating his minions, and his power is no laughing matter. He doesn’t need his servants to work consciously together, (although some do). When they breathe with his spirit, their activities coalesce. Saul Alinsky dedicated his Rules for Radicals to Lucifer who preferred ruling in hell to serving in heaven. America is a baby country, not even 250 years old, unique in many ways. Other countries had long dynasties with monarchs and nobility ruling over serfs, tenants, peasants, merchants, and craftsmen. America was different. We’re a country of entrepreneurs. Farmers owned and worked their own land, inventors came from every class, cowboys, and pioneers settled the frontier. American children were taught to follow their dreams and even aspire to be president. But elitists who love money and power began conspiring against America early on. We were barely 100 years old when Britain’s Cecil Rhodes declared his “confession of faith.” On June 2, 1877 he joined Oxford’s Masonic Chapter and began to work on: “The idea gleaming and dancing before one’s eyes.... Why should we not form a Secret Society with but one object, the furtherance of the British Empire and the bringing of the whole uncivilized world under British rule...[including] recovery of the United States [to make] the Anglo-Saxon race but one Empire.” The impact of Rhodes’ grand idea, backed by rich allies, led to the Great Reset we see today. Building powerful coalitions with the moneyed class was a priority for Rhodes. He solicited the support of men like John D. Rockefeller, Sr., J.P. Morgan, Nathan Rothschild, and others including Andrew Carnegie, the richest man in America at the time. Rhodes and the men who joined his “secret society” were deeply involved in the occult or spiritualism or freemasonry and were as ruthless as Rhodes himself! Rhodes and his allies planted the seeds for many groups undermining America including the United Nations, the Trilateral Commission, the World Economic Forum, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Federal Reserve, the central banking system, and others. His associates were globalists with Utopian ideals who believed in the power of man (made in their own image) to save the world. Rhodes, a white supremacist if there ever was one, saw the “dark continent” as a source of slave labor. Testifying to the House Assembly in Cape Town in 1887 he said, “The native is to be treated as a child and denied the franchise. We must adopt a system of despotism in our relations with the barbarians of South Africa.” In more casual moments he said, “I prefer land to niggers.” That was certainly true! Rhodes, a greed-driven colonialist, made his fortune with ruthless land grabs and exploitation of the natives. He even used mercenaries to murder his opponents and ended up owning most of the gold and diamond mines of South Africa which gave him the money and influence to advance his globalist goals. Most liberals today probably don’t recognize that their beliefs are firmly rooted in bigotry, real white supremacy, colonialism, and the occult which all motivated the early architects of globalism and today’s Great Reset. And the same families continue their ancestors’ agenda using cold cash and the media to power it. As David Rockefeller said addressing the Trilateral Commission in June 1991, “We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected the promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world-government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world of bankers is surely preferable to the National auto determination practiced in past centuries.” Freedom of the individual, i.e., “auto determination,” must be stamped out in the interests of world government by powerful oligarchs. Does concern over this sound now like a “tin hat" theory? In order to fight something, you need to know what you’re fighting. The Great Reset, simply defined, is the takeover of all the institutions by a global elite to create one-world government. Their goal is control: control of the media and information (already well-advanced with digital censorship under a handful of billionaires), control of the economy, control of travel with COVID passports, control of education and brainwashing children (parents are waking up to this and fighting back, thank God), control of religion (Pope Francis is an ally advancing syncretism, one-world religion, and nature worship, i.e., Pachamama ), etc. A necessary component to globalism is the police state. COVID 19 and the January 6th “insurrection” were the means used to test the waters. Would the average person go along with draconian measures limiting freedom? Sadly, the answer has been a resounding yes! It was a repeat of the 1950s “Better red than dead!” mantra only on steroids. The new nuclear bomb was COVID. Some places experienced first-hand the horrors of a police state. Melbourne and Sydney in eastern Australia put millions on house arrest for months. Some citizens were beaten, arrested, and imprisoned for simply going outside or not wearing masks. Meanwhile, western Australia did not lock down and experienced relatively little COVID impact. COVID accomplished another important goal of the globalists, transfer of wealth. The pandemic destroyed hundreds of thousands of small businesses. Who benefitted? Big corporations. While hairdressers, restaurant owners, and gym operators went belly up, the richest got richer, especially those companies producing the gene therapies mislabeled as vaccines. Governments used fear over a manufactured virus, deliberately developed to be more lethal and more easily transmitted to humans, to put the Great Reset into hyperdrive. They criminalized normal behavior like taking a walk in the park, entering a business without a mask, or going to church. At the same time the policy at the border was to allow COVID positive illegal aliens to flood the country which proves it was never about protecting people; it was always about creating confusion and chaos to enable government control. Rhodes and his cohort and their descendants are just one part of the Luciferian conspiracy with the ultimate aim of establishing the rule of the Anti-Christ. Money is the engine using a wide variety of means: government money funneled to anarchist groups, the homosexual and transgender movements, radical feminism, the women’s ordination movement, Black Lives Matter and Antifa – they’ve all played a part in bringing the situation to a head using an army of often clueless, ignorant foot soldiers. And although the players don’t all work together consciously, they all move the ball toward the goal, because they breathe in union with the same evil spirit. That’s what the word con-spire means: to breathe together. St. Ignatius illustrated our situation in his meditation on the two standards. We take the field of battle under either the standard of Christ or the standard of Satan. There is no other choice. Jesus said the lukewarm he would vomit out of his mouth. So how does one respond to all this bad news? It begins on our knees breathing in the Holy Spirit seeking wisdom and direction. If our actions aren’t undergirded by union with God, they will not be effective. Prayer and contemplation are the fertile soil for any apostolate. Second, know the enemy. I recommend The Killing of Uncle Sam by Rodney Howard-Browne and Paul Williams. It pulls the masks off of those seeking to kill not only America, but Christ Himself. Third, remember that all politics is local. The Loudoun, VA parents fighting for their children were fulfilling the duty of their state in life and exhibited the Catholic principle of subsidiarity. To protect their children from school board propaganda pushing critical race theory and transgender ideology, they banded together to fight. In the process, they changed the face of Virginia, especially after bad Catholic Terry McAuliffe’s gaffe saying parents should leave education to the schools! “We own your kids!” was McAuliffe’s clear message. Mama and Papa bears disagreed, and their rebellion resonated with parents of all political affiliations. In defending their families against school board propaganda, they aimed a national spotlight on education which became the primary issue in the November elections. We can’t ignore the role that Our Lady played to bring about Virginia’s victory. The Diocese of Arlington called for a novena of Memorares begging Mary’s intercession for the election. Our twelve-star general, led us to victory! With God all things are possible, even the defeat of the unscrupulous Democrats’ enabling abuse of children. They are not only body killers, but soul killers. How long will God allow that to go on?It’s no accident that the battle began in the classroom. The secular education system was developed not to educate, but to brainwash. John Dewey, Father of Modern Education, was an atheist and socialist. His philosophy impacted our schools since he and like-minded professors established the teaching colleges that taught the teachers. Dewey, a signer of the Humanist Manifesto, never hid his atheistic evil agenda. He wrote, “There is no God and no soul. Hence there are no needs for props of traditional religion. With dogma and creed excluded, then immutable truth is also dead and buried. There is no room for fixed, natural law or permanent absolutes.... Teaching children to read is a great perversion and a high literacy rate breeds destructive individualism....the child does not go to school to develop individual talents but rather are prepared as ‘units’ in an organic society....The change in the moral school atmosphere...are not mere accidents, they are the necessities of the larger social evolution.” Dewey’s ideas continue to permeate the elite class controlling education, especially at the college level. Law Professor Elizabeth Bartholet heads Harvard’s Child Advocacy Program. She favors mandatory government surveillance of families and opposes home schooling. She wants government to implement policies to make it difficult or impossible for parents to teach their own children. Her extremism is just the tip of the iceberg. She believes parents can’t be trusted, that paid professionals in government can do a better job. Remember Hillary and her village. Protecting children is a natural priority for parents and protecting parental rights is a good place to start to take back our country. Statistics show that the safest place for children is in the nuclear family. Loudoun parents showed how to meet and beat out-of-control bureaucrats hurting our kids. When you enable the rape of girls by allowing boys in skirts to use their restroom and then cover it up, like the Loudoun school board did, expect a raging backlash! Here are some practical suggestions for the home front battlefield. 1) Teach the faith to your children; don’t depend on religious education programs. 2) Emphasize critical thinking. How many young people parrot propaganda with no idea of what they’re talking about? Teach kids to question “authority” when it conflicts with the truth. But remember, they need to know the truth to defend it! Teach them how to research, 3) If you choose Catholic schools, make sure they’re faithful. Keep your antennae up anyway. 4) Home school if you can or join with other parents to co-teach. 5) Don’t be too trusting. Skip overnights. 6) If your kids are grown or you don’t have any, help those who do. Can you tutor or offer time out for a busy mom? 7) Pray together daily as a family! 8) Form coalitions with other concerned parents like the Loudoun parents did. When I was a child, my civics book showed the basic building block of society was the family. Socialist elitists purged those books decades ago. But the fight to take back our country remains in the home. Children are the future. Let’s strengthen home and family life, create holy and fun memories, teach the art of conversation, encourage good manners and happy hospitality -- all these things are keys to rescuing the culture and defeating the nihilism taking such a toll on our kids. The way out of confusion and chaos begins at home – in the nuclear family and the family of Holy Mother Church. Let’s get busy rebuilding! |
