Meanwhile, in Glendale, California, there were clashes at a school board meeting between between Armenian-Americans and pro-LGBT elements who wanted the school board to vote to affirm "Pride Month." Apparently attendance at one of the schools was down 60% on one of the pride-festival days at a Glendale elementary school.

From what I've been able to glean online, 70% of Armenians in and around Glendale tend to vote for Democrats, so this is not necessarily "conservatives versus LGBT."

People keep talking about a new "civil war" between "red" and "blue," but this is more evidence of my theory that the real "civil war" is going to be the Blue Civil War, between conflicting elements of an American left that can't (and never can) make sense of all the contradictions it's been pushing. "Trannies über alles" is not sustainable.

So are you saying that the armenians are pro or anti rainbow pedos? Im confused.

I'm saying they're inclined to vote more Democrat than Republican, but a significant number of them obviously oppose LGBT indoctrination in schools.

JB,

At the risk of wildly understating your situation, I'll state the obvious: it can't be easy. I have four children who are, chronologically, grown, so they missed the worst of this evil, I think. If they hadn't, I might be where you are now.

I'm praying for you, your children and for anyone else swimming against the tidal wave. We may not have the power to do so unassisted, but we do with the help of the Divine.

"...if they do have an inclination toward trans or gender dysphoria, or being gay, it is really easy to alienate them! I have been sitting in church when our pastor briefly spoke against these things, and it was so hard with my son there. It is very easy to sound not loving....And here we are, my husband and I, hanging on by our fingernails and just barely getting him to church."

Did you communicate this to your pastor to improve the homilies? My opinion is that the "old way" was to speak the truth, the "new way" is to speak lies (or at least be silent in the face of lies) out of misplaced love, and the "right way" is to speak the truth with true love. The right way is not easy, but it must be done if Christianity is to mean anything, and perhaps that is the real positive to come out of our times.

Did you communicate this so your pastor can befriend your children? Your pastor really should, perhaps everyone will learn something.

Through my wife, I talked to a young woman, college age, who felt certain she was meant to be male. She took testosterone and told my wife that she couldn't concentrate in college because the testosterone made her think about sex all the time. The fact that she hadn't foreseen that, that the prospect hadn't even crossed her mind, made it clear she had no idea in her teens what it felt like to "feel like a boy."

Have you asked them what makes them specifically feel like they must be something other than what they are? I know you're trying to undo this evil through Christian belief, but is there possibly a way to discuss with them what it really feels like to be male or female and show them that they're dangerously misinterpreting their youthful hormones? These young people don't seem very good at justifying their own feelings when someone pushes back a little.

I'm sorry if it seems like I'm putting you on the spot. I don't mean to do so. I really feel for you, and I'm wishing you the best, because I'm seeing three couples I know dealing with similar issues with their teens.

Thanks for telling us your story, JB. Some parents I know simply repeat the party line and act like they've been newly "educated" into a realer world they knew nothing about. You're right to be resisting, even if all you can do is vent here online. You'll be proven right in the long run.

In my hallway is a photo of Sgt. Eddie Thomas, a Canadian serving in the RAF. He was from a small town in southern Saskatchewan and he was my great-Uncle. He died in a life-raft on the North Sea in 1942 after his Hampden bomber's engine broke down and the pilot ditched the plane in the sea. His Canada is gone, gone, gone. But modern Canada has the opiate of hockey.

Hampden bombers had four man crews. Pilot, co-pilot, and two gunners. Nineteen at the time, Eddie was a gunner. The crew were on a routine mission off the Friesan Islands when the engine went. They ditched and the co-pilot went down with the plane. The pilot and two gunners reached a life raft with very little water or food. The life raft leaked and the three bailed much of the time. The other gunner, a Scot, began to drink sea water on the sixth day and died. Eddie did the same on the day twelve and died. The pilot, an American volunteer in the RAF, was picked up on the 14th day. He had gangrene in both legs and they were amputated. He died in 1946 from pneumonia.

Good God. War is hell.

Expand full comment

Since war is hell and Christians want to save people from hell, I believe Christians should never start, declare, fight, or support wars. Any necessary self-defense (or defense of others) should be nonviolent, legal, and moral. IMO, Christians should never use deadly force against others.

I consider myself a pacifist. I refuse to serve in combat (of course, I am a 56-year-old woman in mediocre health, so it is extremely unlikely any government would draft me) and refuse to support any war (even with taxes — but I am on SSI and the only taxes I pay are sale taxes). Some people may consider me a freeloader full of cheap grace, for which may God forgive me if that is true.

Thank you for your kind thoughts. Sgt. Eddie Thomas sacrificed the last sixty years of his life for Canada, the Allies, his family and posterity. That makes me even angrier when that brat Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, declared a few years back that he didn't want Canada to have an inner ethnic or cultural core. Men like Eddie Thomas, who were part of that core, have been consigned to the memory hole by the Trudeaus of the West.

We left Ottawa for exurban Alberta eleven years ago. In spite of the the best efforts of the (hopefully) one-time NDP socialist government, there is still(for now) some sanity in exurban schools here.

The Catholic school our three kids attend does the bare minimum required by the NDP law in providing GSA clubs in school, without forcing the full agenda on everybody.

Apparently when the school staff talk too much about LGBT, the kids start giving each other the bombastic side eye. Doesn't seem to be hatred toward gays, just the kids recognizing the agenda I guess.

This very possibly will change for the worse in years ahead, but for now it's good to see the kids being independent.

As my daughter told me, in mock elections at school even the furries and emos support conservatives.

Thank you for not letting us live by lies!

A few reactions:

1. Every cell of that “thing” is female. Isn’t that amazing?

2. Regarding the reality vs public image of pride parades, did you know that, decades after that famous Philadelphia movie with Tom Hanks was released, a major gay journal did a retrospective on it and admitted it was fundamentally dishonest, the activists praising it at the time it was released knew it was dishonest, but they lied and praised it anyway just to trick us all?

We are living through some combination of Chinese Cultural Revolution and the Color Revolutions exported (and beta tested) by the US State Dept, and the Gender cult is a demented Red Guard who have been unleashed on all of us, most especially children. The goal is to lock in a managed and surveilled postnational post-democracy overseen by a Church/State ruling coalition between the global corporate state and the Church of Social Justice.

The saddest part of all is how easily every institution was captured and how in every sphere of our societies—from science to religion to journalism to culture and academia etc—the leadership class rolled over and kissed the feet of our new rulers, denounced themselves, their histories and specialties, their entire countries. Anything to maintain their social status, careers, and finances.

I know there are multiple factors over multiple decades but for me the beginning of the end for Western Civ began when we rolled the Trojan Horse called Critical Studies inside the gates of our universities—50 years of endless barrages of guilt and shame later, 50 years of state-subsidized propaganda to paint all our cultures and traditions as bigoted hate crimes, 50 years of acid nihilism poured onto every Western person, place or thing, and at last the Long March has ended in victory and we have been conquered.

It’s only now that you can see how we have pulled away at our roots.

Thanks for the warnings, Rod--I didn't scroll down. I don't think I ever will. What I've already seen has been hideous enough. Perhaps some will be shocked enough to wake up when they see it; I'm already shocked enough.

It is an evil age, to be certain. This month has become my least favorite month of the year, and drives home to me that the America in which I was born and raised and loved is dying or dead. Yes, there are millions of Americans with whom I share many views (maybe even the majority)--but we have little or no cultural power. Those who lead us hate us and think they are far superior to us. They think of themselves as edgy and in control; but in fact, they are mere pawns in Shaytan's grip. And when you align yourself with the enemy of humankind and reject your Creator, what can the end result be but madness and regret?

I used to wonder why trans people would insist on identifying as the opposite sex when they still have the genitals of their birth sex. All that BS about women can have a penis & birthing people & other delusional ideas. Well, that awful picture made me think, maybe they’re not so sure they want to go under the knife & end up with a useless & gross appendage like that. Or a fake vagina which has to constantly be opened because it’s a wound & wants to heal. Because once the surgery is done there’s no going back. You can stop hormones & have breast reconstruction & go back to your real gender. And you can hedge your bets by just dressing as the opposite sex & insist that people pretend along with you. Dylan for example, I think it’s an act. He will probably return to living as a gay man at some point. Sweden & Finland have banned or restricted transitioning for minors. Hopefully this will become more widespread.

But doesn't the above rap sheet beat writing YA books and having to spend all year at a third-rate liberal arts college in Maine, where the snow doesn't melt until April, rather than a gig on the upper West Side and a summer place down east?

I was listening to Jordan Peterson talk with Matt Walsh for a bit today and Peterson made the comment that ultimate freedom results in chaos, like having 1000 types of shampoo to buy at the store. In the end, one is unhappy because you know that something better is out there. However, if you have some limitations (shelf space, in this case), a person is probably going to be happier because one can think that they made the best choice of the options available. Then one of them switched the terms to dating apps... Ooooh boy! But one wonders how so many people "back then" were happy with a pretty limited number of available options, shall we say, and this actually gives one a pretty decent answer.

I doubt that danger is the issue. The much bigger issue is that there aren't that many kids these days so the nearest possible playmates may too far for younger kids.

That's what the forum Kiwi Farms is all about: it's an archive of all the lies and evil surrounding the trans movement and what is "really happening" within it. Lies like: "Trans people are gentle and sane". And "Surgery is safe & effective and saves lives". (That fake phallus Rod showed is a remarkably good one. The average phalloplasty does not look like that. At all.) Granted, KF's membership is a messy melting pot and vicious mockery prevails. But they are performing a public service. Or were. Trans rights activists and their friends in high places have been attacking KF relentlessly, and they have managed to exile it on Tor for the time being. They do not want the lies (and the indisputable evil) revealed or archived.

Rod doesn't cover this aspect of the trans nonsense enough: There is an incredible amount of self-loathing involved for the people who do go down this route, and this self-loathing is amplified by both online grooming communities and by the vipers in the medical and political communities. In order for someone to reach the point where self-mutilation is even remotely considered, they have to first be brought, or bring themselves to a point much akin to being suicidal, for "going trans" is very much a type of suicide.

I can appreciate the spirit of what you are trying to say. But there comes a time when we need to face the fact that we can have become so heavenly-minded that we are of no earthly good.

As for me, June will forever be D-Day remembrance month. We remember a time when young men sacrificed their lives in order to put in check the genocidal, hegemonic lust of a fascistic power on earth, a warped ideology.

They didn’t exchange flowers and make mud pies. No. They turned the tides red with their own blood. They cut the germans out of their holes with cold steel and made them accountable for what they had done. They rained fire from heaven and turned cities into heaps of twisted metal and burning dung.

If you want humility, pray for the proud ones who are blaspheming our Lord and butchering our children to be suitable f**k meat for their satanic desires. Pray that they dispense with their proud hearts before they get into the hands of a holy God who will hold them and all of their co-conspirators accountable. Pray for the lives and families ripped apart by this goddamned scourge from the pit of hell. I have nothing but contempt for the powers of hell and earth.

Rod, I am glad that you were able to slow down and detox from America for a few days. Just stay there a bit longer.

Is the earth in danger of evil? Of course. Is it different now? No. Go back to Genesis, right before Noah. It was far more evil with angelic beings in their actions towards human beings. What did Yahweh do? He gave us a flood. And then a rainbow to tell us that He would never do that again. What is the rainbow 🌈 symbol now in 2023? Not the same thing. It is a symbol of pure evil for Satanic minions. So, what to do?

Continue weekly Christian services. Communion. Council. Confession, forgiveness, and love of the Saints. I am a solid Reformed person. Anyone in dwelled by Yahweh the Holy Spirit is a Saint. We don’t need special recommendations. Jesus choose us before the foundations of the universe. Why? We don’t know.,but He did that. What did mere human beings add to our salvation? Absolutely nothing at all. The Council of Dort settled that point in the West. Do any of us actually know? No. We will find out in glory, the real truth. Until then……

Praise God from whom all blessings flow.
