Religion and Geopolitics Review: Saturday, March 17

By Dr. David Pence 

WEEKLY BRIEF
A Masculine American wins in Pennsylvania..turns out he is a Catholic Democrat. 
Conor Lamb did not "run as a Republican" in the Pennsylvania election for the House of Representatives that he won on March 13. He is one of a growing number of young Iraq-era veterans who are coming to Congress "to replace the people who sent them there." They are mostly Democrats. Mr. Lamb ran as a soldier who had done his manly duty, and an American who would work with the elected president to do the work of the nation. He rejected Nancy Pelosi in the same way Donald Trump rejected Jeb Bush. Been there, done that... let's try something different. The Democratic Party is the natural tribal home of Catholic warriors and workingmen. How it came to lose God and masculinity is a twisted  50 year tale of hollowing out the industrial working class, promoting middle class feminists, de-Christianizing the civil rights movement, and succumbing to the power couple opportunism of Bill and Hillary Clinton. There was a time of very different Democrats before the Clinton-Obama-Clinton era. The masculine and nationalist leadership of the Kennedy brothers(John and Robert) was stopped by the bullets of a Communist atheist and a Palestinian nationalist. Their youngest brother, Ted Kennedy was not made of the same cloth. Jack Kennedy had carried men to life out of the Pacific Ocean. Ted Kennedy left a girl to die at the bottom of a Massachusetts pond. Jack Kennedy's favorite priest was ex-soldier Philip Hannon, "the Archbishop who Wore Combat Boots." Ted Kennedy's personal prelate was the notorious Washington DC cardinal and homosexual predator "Uncle Ted" McCarrick. The corruption of the Democratic Party is a religious story of Jews who quit believing in God, Protestants who embraced transgenderism and liturgical cross-dressing with female clergy, and a Catholic priesthood of big city, mostly Irish, hard drinking Democrats that was deeply corrupted by lavender predators. Conor Lamb looks different.
President Trump has broken up the Bush-McCain careerism in the Republican party, but he may end up with the neocons running foreign policy again. We will need strong American men who accept and thank Donald Trump for his presidency, but are willing to stop him from the repeated mistake of misreading friends and foes in the Mideast. American politics will be renewed when Democrats repudiate the sexual revolution by electing God-fearing masculine leaders who, tempered by war, will lead the country to peace. The return of masculine Democrats can not come too soon.    


I. POPE FRANCIS AND THE CATHOLIC CHURCH

THE POPE: ...And the campaign against sex traffickingFive surprises after five years of his papacy by Fr Raymond de Souza.

CARDINAL MARX OF GERMANY ON BLESSING HOMOSEXUAL UNIONS: This has nothing to do with marriage. It is the incest lobby emerging within the priestly fraternity.

DIVINE PROVIDENCE...Still guides us.


II. ISLAM AND THE MIDDLE EAST

AFGHANISTANNeeded - A Dialogue with the Taliban and Five Countries. The near neighbors are Pakistan and Iran. The far neighbors are Russia, China and India. All of these countries have larger stakes than the US in the region's stability.

ISRAEL PRIME MINISTER TO 18,000 AT AIPAC MAR 5, 2018. THIS IS ONE VISON OF THE MIDEAST. SHOULD THIS BE THE VSION OF THE UNITED STATES? DON'T TELL ANYONE BUT ISRAEL IS A FOREIGN POWER THAT EXERCISES A LOT MORE INFLUENCE ON AMERICAN POLICY AND ELECTIONS THAN RUSSIA EVER DREAMT OF... AND FOR MANY DECADESBenjamin Netanyahu:
"Darkness is descending on our region. Iran is building an aggressive empire: Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Gaza, Yemen, more to come. Now Iran is seeking to build permanent military bases in Syria, seeking to create a land bridge from Tehran to Tartus on the Mediterranean.

"And in addition to moving its army, its air force, its navy to Syria to be able to attack Israel from closer land, it's also seeking to develop, to build precision guided missile factories in Syria and Lebanon against Israel.

"I will not let that happen. We will not let that happen. We must stop Iran. We will stop Iran.

"Last week, we read in the Book of Esther about an earlier Persian attempt to exterminate our people. They failed then. They'll fail now..."

III. CULTURE OF LIFE, CULTURE OF PROTECTION

FORGET YOUR PRAYERS - WE NEED GUN LAWS: John Horvat on Prayer shaming. Cardinal Cupich of Chicago on prayer is not enough.

TUCKER CARLSON A SHORT SYNOPSIS ON THE DECLINE OF MALES IN AMERICA: He has begun a series on "Men in America" airing through the month of March on Wednesday's. His succinct spectacular beginning (aired March 8, 2018) and second episode in the series (aired March 14, 2018). Here is a Tucker interview with Jordan Peterson on the current crisis of masculinity.

ROD DREHER ON OPIODS, COMMUNITY AND END OF LIBERALISM: Great synthesis of different thinkers - "Everyone knows Something is Coming."

CONFISCATING THE NATION: The New York Times makes it clear: "nations are just made up."

FAKE NEWS ABOUT HOMOSEXUAL KILLINGS: The killing of Matthew Shepard and Shooting up the Pulse Disco aren't quite the stories we've been told.

SALVIFIC MASCULINITY: Clint Eastwood film 15:17 to Paris.

CHINA POLICY ON BOYS TO MEN: One Child policy led to "little emperor syndrome". Boys need risks not pampering. No reticence in China about official policy treating boys and girls differently.

EUROPE'S LEADERS HAVE NO CHILDRENStartling fact from mid 2017.


IV. AROUND THE WORLD R&G NATIONS ROUND UP

THE GOAL IS ONE KOREA:  Not communism, not capitalism, but one Korea again after a century of occupation and then division. Let us untie this last knot of the Cold War. That means we cannot pull too hard on the old ropes. Let the nation emerge.

REAL HOPE IN NORTH KOREA AS KIM JONG-UN EXPRESSES HIS DESIRE"To write a new chapter in the country's unification." In the search for status as a Korean statesman, the goal is to reassemble the nation. These men are Koreans - they are nationalists. His grandfather (Kim il-Sung) is considered the Father of the People's Republic. He ruled from the founding of the state in 1948 to his death in 1994. He almost succeeded in the 1950 reclamation invasion of the South which ended in the stalemate of the Korean War (1950-1953). Kim Jong-Un of the North has a very capable and willing partner in the South. Moon Jae-In is a "liberal" and a practicing Catholic. The Pope's initiative in China may be a diplomatic boon to this radically new opportunity. President Trump's clarity has certainly helped the new nationalist focus. Here are four AoA articles to help think about Korea. Asia and the Nations. Map on Monday - Korea. American targets for North Korea (scroll down to Korea and American Foreign Policy). A Unified Korea - not just for the Olympics (this includes a good linked profile of South Korean President Moon Jae-In).

GERMANYGet rid of "fatherland" and and "brotherly" in national Anthem. No country needs to return to God the Father and the brotherhood of Lutherans and Catholics as a national accord more than Deutschland. The bitterest fruit of the Protestant revolution was the civil war of Christian Germany. The subsequent organization of a racial national identity was built on on hatred of the Jew and devotion to the pagan Fuhrer. Hitler argued that the Christians had lost their martial virtue and were rendering the fatherland unable to resist the atheistic materialism of Communism.

ITALY: On the left Luigi de Maio of the Five Star Movement  and on the right Matteo Salvini of the National League. Both anti immigrant Eurosceptics. A victory for nationalists against the globalists. 

V. AMERICAN POLITICS

TILLERSON OUT, POMPEO IN: There is nothing more globalist than Exxon and no one more globalist than the corporation's top executive. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson brought to his office his incredible knowledge of the physical world and a unique understanding of the relations between states and corporations that constitutes the "global economy." He was an extremely important figure of responsibility, maturation, and loyalty to the President. As President Trump said however, they were not of the "same mind." In the first year Mr. Tillerson was a model for those who were not of the same mind as the President but served him as the President. As President Trump establishes his sea legs, he will need men much more committed to his world view to effect his policies - those include openness to Russia and hostility to Iran. Enter Mr. Pompeo who is plenty hostile to Iran. President Trump stabilized his government with strong competent patriots - from his VP to UN Representative to top generals - but all of these patriots were more globalist than nationalist. All were distinctly anti-Russian. All were loyal to the office though and protected the legitimacy of the Trump Presidency against a powerful assault. The assault has failed. Now Mr. Trump is going to hire the men who will be committed to effecting his agenda. Pompeo for Tillerson is the first necessary move.

AMERICAN TARIFFS - MAY HISTORY HELP THE HYSTERICS: From Hamilton to Clay and the American System to McKinley and Roosevelt... and there's more.
