On Evil, Intrigue and the Left

Dr. Evil

It is often the case that detractors, opponents and skeptics will themselves latch onto a catchphrase or cliché statement about “how the world really works” in order to debunk the claims of anyone who challenges the mainstream account of events.  For them, “conspiracy theorists” will read everything as a conspiracy.  Ironically, the forebears of modern leftists were themselves the ones who asked questions about the status quo of their day, but as one learns in the study of paradigms and worldviews, the new opinions become the new dogmas.  As Foucault correctly explained, the modern world did not rid itself of hierarchy, “shepherds” and authority: it merely exchanged the old ones for a new.

Not all truths are to be told to all men, and not all people are sufficiently mature to deal with the harsh realities of realpolitik.  The fact remains that men are easily duped and fooled.  The system knows this, and thus statecraft is based largely on psychology and social engineering.  Guided by pragmatism, this idea is ancient, but Machiavelli is a great example.  For Machiavelli, statecraft was precisely the ability to manage intrigue.  And the reality is, it is much more this than ideology that guides men and nations.  In his Art of War, Machiavelli writes of the corruption of the military industrial complex of his day:

“But because military institutions have become completely corrupt and far removed from the ancient ways, these sinister opinions have arisen which make the military hated and intercourse with those who train them avoided. And I, judging, by what I have seen and read, that it is not impossible to restore its ancient ways and return some form of past virtue to it, have decided not to let this leisure time of mine pass without doing something, to write what I know of the art of war, to the satisfaction of those who are lovers of the ancient deeds. And although it requires courage to treat of those matters of which others have made a profession, none the less, I do not believe that it is a mistake to occupy a position with words, which may, with greater presumption, have been occupied with deeds; for the errors which I should make in writing can be corrected without injury to anyone, but those which are made with deeds cannot be found out except by the ruin of the Commanders.” Read more of this post

The Satanic Nature of Nazism

Image of Savitri Devi that Pretty Much Says it All

By: Jay

A couple of years ago, when I first began to look at race studies and “national socialism,” someone (I don’t recall who) argued to me that national socialism was not Teutonic paganism. This is a bunch of bull. It clearly is, and I intend to demonstrate that. What the movement also has is interesting connections with is Hinduism and gnosticism and can also be considered as a forerunner to the modern green movement. Yes, Nazism as a forerunner to the modern green movement. How is this? The key players in demonstrating this claim are Savitri Devi, Heinrich Himmler and other notables of the so-called “traditionalist studies,” such as Julius Evola, Ananda Coomaraswamy as well as the infamous God-hater and fraudster, Madame Blavatsky.

Just as I critiqued the notion of “perennial philosophy” that specifically rejects the biblical God who is in covenantal relationship with man, so these theorists also posit at times a “perennial religion.” What is this? Once again, it is the age-old pantheistic lie that “Nature” is God. You will notice in these writers that, having rejected a personal God, like with Guenon, his move was more gnostic in nature, become a Sufi Muslim. With someone like Savitri Devi, a huge promoter of the Nazi movement and well-known writer of the traditionalist school, Devi makes clear what the agenda is – a green, neo-pagan, polytheistic-that-blends-into-pantheistic mythos that looks to Hinduism and the myth of Aryan “godhood.” Thus the convergence of Devi and Heinrich Himmler’s fables. Devi makes this abundantly clear in this article, which is indisputable proof. Read more of this post

Lenin’s False Flag Terrorism and Philosophy Echo Hitler & US

May 22, 2010 Leave a comment

By: Jay

I was awestruck while reading a biography on V.I. Lenin recently.  The strange synchronicities concern his creation of a massively extended police state-the “Cheka,” compared with the actions of Hitler and our modern U.S. are prodigious, to say the least.  One might be tempted to think that, since Lenin was a Communist and of Jewish origin, there would be no similarity between his philosophy and Hitler’s.  However, the facts speak otherwise.  Hitler was a  racist and an occultist to be sure, but it is not often mentioned that Lenin was, as well.  The explanation for this is that the real power behind these statist regimes in the false dialectic of communist and fascist is the banking power.

Despite his appearance of being a sophisticated, modern atheist, Vladimir Lenin appears to have had an affinity for the Satanic (as did Marx). According to researcher Juri Lina and the Modern History Project, was inducted into the Masonic Lodge of the Nine Sisters.  Lenin’s philosophy was, in fact, highly racial: a key point missed and ignored by many researchers.  In fact, Lenin, like many of the elites (such as Hitler), was obsessed with bloodlines and racial purity.  Lenin Biographer Dmitri Volkogonov writes:

“Paradoxically, for a Marxist who believed in the primacy of the environmental over inherited factors, she [Lenin's sister] also asserted the dubious proposition that Lenin’s Jewish origins are further confirmation of the exceptional abilities of the Semitic tribe, [confirmation] always shared by [Vladimir] Ilyich Lenin…Lenin always valued Jews highly.’  Anna’s claim explains, for instance, why Lenin frequently recommended giving foreigners, especially Jews, intellectually demanding tasks, and leaving the elementary work to the ‘Russian fools.’ [Anna continuing] ‘…in the Lenin Institute, as well as in the Institute of the Brain…they have long recognized the great gifts of this [Jewish] nation and the extremely beneficial effects of its blood on the progeny of mixed marriages.  Ilyich himself rated their revolutionary qualities highly, their ‘tenacity’ in the struggle, as he put it, contrasting it with the more sluggish and unstable character of the Russians.  He often pointed out that the great attributes of organization and the strength of the revolutionary bodies in the south and west of Russia arose precisely from the fact that 50% of their members were of that nationality.”[i]           Read more of this post

The Incarnation Versus Calvinists and Lutherans

May 3, 2010 16 Comments

A Detailed Analysis of the Implications of Reformation Theology

By: Jay Dyer

St. Gregory of Nyssa wrote of the reason for the Incarnation: 
“Sick, our nature demanded to be healed; fallen, to be raised up; dead, to rise again. We had lost the possession of the good; it was necessary for it to be given back to us. Closed in the darkness, it was necessary to bring us the light; captives, we awaited a Savior; prisoners, help; slaves, a liberator. Are these things minor or insignificant? Did they not move God to descend to human nature and visit it, since humanity was in so miserable and unhappy a state?” (Orat. Catech., 15)
 
The Catholic Catechism goes on to say as well of the Incarnation, quoting Ss. Irenaeus and Athanasius:
“The Word became flesh to make us “partakers of the divine nature”: ”For this is why the Word became man, and the Son of God became the Son of man: so that man, by entering into communion with the Word and thus receiving divine sonship, might become a son of God.” ”For the Son of God became man so that we might become God.” ”The only-begotten Son of God, wanting to make us sharers in his divinity, assumed our nature, so that he, made man, might make men gods.” (Par. 460)

In the never-ending debates with Calvinists (and Lutherans), the questions of the proper views of the Trinity, Incarnation and salvation continually arise.  What becomes evident to those weathered in these disputes is he differing theologies that arise from these camps when compared with the Catholic view. As we will see, our Catechism in masterly fashion, explains the Scriptural, patristic and conciliar theology of the first seven centuries in an erudite, pristine fashion.  And, to be sure, most Calvinists and Lutherans are not willfully desiring to be Nestorian or Pelagian, but as I’ve come to see, there’s often a lot of misunderstanding.  In other words, they are these errors without knowing it.   Read more of this post

Pagan Dualism, the Occult and the Trinity

April 14, 2010 3 Comments

By: Jay

A common thread in non-Christian religions and worldviews is that of dualism. In fact, nature itself does exhibit all forms of dualities, such as night and day, masculine and feminine, black and white, etc. In philosophy there has been the problem of mind versus body, while in physics there is the wave versus particle debate. In one sense there is a legitimate duality, in that these entities and things are not, of course, evil in themselves. No thing is inherently evil, as all things are created by and have their summation and meaning in the Logos (Col. 1:15). Thus what has being has it’s being and meaning or archetypal predetermination (logoi) in the Logos. The many logoi are one in the one Logos of God.

Non-Christian systems of thought, and paganism in general, never transcend the dualities that are prevalent in nature, however. In fact, dualism is itself a hallmark of those religions. Think, for example, of the dialectic of matter and spirit in gnosticism, where matter was viewed as base and grotesque. Gnosticism in general is defined as:

“A collective name for a large number of greatly-varying and pantheistic-idealistic sects, which flourished from some time before the Christian Era down to the fifth century, and which, while borrowing the phraseology and some of the tenets of the chief religions of the day, and especially of Christianity, held matter to be a deterioration of spirit, and the whole universe a deprivation of the Deity, and taught the ultimate end of all being to be the overcoming of the grossness of matter and the return to the Parent-Spirit, which return they held to be inaugurated and facilitated by the appearance of some God-sent Saviour.” (Catholic Encyclopedia, “Gnosticism”) Read more of this post

Quotes From Calvinist Theologians Proving Arian/Nestorianism

April 12, 2010 3 Comments

By: Nick

I would hope that anyone reading the title of this post would consider the suggested question nothing short of blasphemy. For those who don’t know, there are Christians who do give an affirmative answer to this question. While you might be thinking this is some fringe group, you will probably be shocked to find the groups who affirm this are Protestants of the Lutheran and Reformed (Calvinist) traditions.

The following quotes are from well respected Protestant teachers, going all the way back to Luther Himself:

————————–

We should remember that Christ’s suffering in His human nature, as He hung on the cross those six hours, was not primarily physical, but mental and spiritual. When He cried out, “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me,” He was literally suffering the pangs of hell. For that is essentially what hell is, separation from God, separation from everything that is good and desirable. Such suffering is beyond our comprehension. But since He suffered as a divine-human person, His suffering was a just equivalent for all that His people would have suffered in an eternity in hell.

Definitions of Various Relevant Theological Terms

April 12, 2010 Leave a comment

By: Jay Dyer

Many are confused about the meaning and terminology of the debates that have been occurring lately in regards to Calvinism, the Trinity, Nature, Person, etc. So, an explanation of what these terms have come to normatively mean in theological discourse is appropriate. If we grasp these terms, the rest falls into place in a cogent system for talking about the Trinity, Incarnation and soteriology. If we are to have fruitful debates and dialogues on these points, the terms need to be grasped.

(1) Persons- or Hypostases (also subjects). answering the question “Who is doing it?”
(2) Energies answering the question What is it that They are doing?”
(3) Essence or Nature or ousia, answering the question what are the they, that are doing these things.
(4) Manichaeanism is an ancient heretical system influenced by Persian Zoroastrianism where there are two eternal principles good and evil, ever at odds.

Christ’s Assumption of Fallen Nature: Calvinism’s Pelagianism

April 8, 2010 1 Comment

By: Jay Dyer

One of the best ways to distinguish the Protestant, and particularly the Calvinist,view of anthropology and soteriology is to consider the way both systems view pre-lapsarian man (or, man before the Fall). In classical Calvinist theology, man in the garden was not in need of any grace, but was placed by God under a so-called “covenant of works,” whereby he and his posterity could attain eternal life contingent “upon perfect and personal obedience to the law of God” (Westminster Confession of Faith, Ch. 7:2). It goes on to state that man failed in this covenant and was later given another, the covenant of grace.

The flaws in this view are manifold, not the least of which pertain to christology and soteriology as a whole. This will be fleshed out later, but remember: the Logos assumed human nature. In fact, as I will argue, and as many Catholic theologians since the time of the reformation have observed, the reformed Calvinistic view is actually a Pelagian view of pre-lapsarian man, the Calvinist and the Pelagian differing only in how they see the results of the fall. For Pelagius, as well as for the Calvinist, man did not need grace in the garden. In fact, as one well-read Calvinist recently told me, it all goes back to the garden, and “man did not need grace before the fall.” Read more of this post

R.J. Rushdoony Was Nestorian

April 6, 2010 6 Comments

By: Jay Dyer

Lately, I have been re-reading some old reformed Protestant materials I read several years ago. One of these books is by a very respected reformed thinker named Rousas J. Rushdoony. Rushdoony wrote and did some good things, like defending homseschoolers and giving that movement an initial impetus. However, these things don’t magically make him orthodox or erase his denials of the Incarnation. In my many dealings with reformed pastors and theologians, I’ve learned that it generally doesn’t matter what heresies their heroes have, nor does it matter how serious the heresies are. No, reformed thinkers have their demi-gods and none dare challenge them. So it doesn’t matter that Rushdoony also promoted the Jewish food laws, which is condemned by St. Paul. It doesn’t matter that Van Til said the essence of God was a Person. It doesn’t matter that Bahnsen thought one could have pictures of Christ and that he celebrated Christmas, which John Knox thought worthy of death. And none of this stuff would be so bad if the reformed didn’t claim to hold to the ecumenical councils.

No, if the reformed thinkers decide you’re a hero, you can, in fact, get away with quite a bit. Forgiving men for errors and passing them over is one thing, and it’s an aspect of love. However, when it comes to the point of excusing men or ignoring their substantial heresies on Christ and/or the Trinity, that’s another story. The reformed thinkers and pastors that have despised and blasted me, fail to realize that whatever errors I have held, I haven’t promoted serious Trinitarian and Christological errors like Van Til and Rushdoony. And none of this would be so bad if Rushdoony’s foundation wasn’t named “Chalcedon.” Other men in these circles also name their publications and churches after Chalcedon. Read more of this post
