A Canticle for Fauci

Original Article

Posted By: Boni, 6/20/2021 8:03:05 PM

The novel A Canticle for Leibowitz begins in the deserts of the American Southwest, some centuries after nuclear war devastates the earth. There, generations of Catholic monks copy and preserve the fragments of texts from earlier civilization that they themselves don’t comprehend. Canticle may have been science fiction but it was inspired by a mix of history and the author’s experience.

Comments:

I agree that the lasting damage from the pandemic and the government's response to it is incalculable. They have lied to us and claimed to do it for our own good.

I Read A Canticle for Leibowiz decades ago, after it was mentioned in James A. Michener's "Space" (my personal favorite). Well recommended. As for Fauci, we can only hope that he crashes and burns as publicly and permanently as humanly possible.

Some extremely interesting points. Really one of the most damnibg assessments of the “powerful” I’ve ever read, more CS Lewis than Doran. However i have no hope that the children or anybody else will wake up. And in any event the “powerful” are looking to replace them with new “citizens” or “slaves.”

We all need to be digging dirt, taking names and building detailed files on ALL of the people and events involved in this coup and attempted destruction of our Republic. At the same time, the guilty must be assured that when the whirlwind comes, and it will, justice will be certain, thorough and unblinking. Fortunes on both sides will be brought low, and the righteous will face many trials to rebuild our damaged Nation, but they must be faced with courage, wisdom and faith. These people have attempted, with malice and premeditation, to hijack our Republic and destroy our Repuves, our legacy and our dreams, and the penalties must be meted accordingly.

FTA: "Many [the Covid generation] are likely to sooner or later rebel against the teachers who taught them that a person is good or evil on the basis of epidermal pigment or genitalia. ...for children often come to hate those who cannot protect them,..." I've been wondering for some time when the next modern "youth rebellion" will begin. The Roaring Twenties generation got sidelined by the Great Depression and WWII. It was their grandchildren, the Baby Boomers, that picked up where the Jazz Age ended. And, now, the Boomer grandchildren will rebel against the Deep State that scarred their childhood with calculated cunning and insidious lies. I'd like to see the old, wizened leaders of the 60's student riots be hauled out by their progeny and left by the trash dumpster. What goes around, comes around. I find it interesting that so many futuristic novels employ the use of Catholic monasteries and convents as the vehicles in which knowledge is saved and preserved; reprising their role of the Dark Ages. I think that speaks to mankind's universal understanding that Catholicism will survive every human catastrophe, especially those brought on by ourselves. The gates of hell will not prevail against Christ's Church. Gates are a defensive position, Our Lord means His disciples to be the soldiers on opposition. He expects us to storm those gates without fear, no matter the age in which find ourselves living. Each one of us was made by God for this time; to stand for the truth and testify to Christ Crucified. The Eternal Truths will never fail, never dissolve and never disappoint.

#7, I am a Benedictine Oblate and was at a Mass where the current abbot of Monte Cassino was present. The abbey of Monte Cassino was bombed, but the archives of the Benedictines were saved. I have no doubt that if humanity goes feral, the Benedictines and other people of faith will keep the remnants of learning and civilization until mankind comes to its senses.

Could it be that Fauci overplayed his hand when he said we should wear two masks? That was sort of like when, in Animal Farm, the pigs chanted 'four legs good, two legs better.'

Please. Go back and read Canticle again. It is multi-layered. Each time you read it you will learn more. There is no better chronicle of the Wandering Jew anywhere. And the Hebrew quotes make Ben special. The explanation of the roles in canonization is excellent. Our habit of collecting stuff is superbly shown in the way the Brothers have rounded up fragments and put them in lead boxes. And the scene where the Scholar enters the cellar and the dynamo starts turning? How did they ever con that much copper to swage into wire? There is so much more. Especially the moral question of affording easy death to the radiation poisoned. A tricky question, that.

If we had some real justice, we'd have some strong punishment for Fauci. Being responsible for funding the development of a bioweapon that has killed millions - what's the proper punishment? In other times, we hung docs who worked for the Germans for much less death and harm.

It’s a really bad sign when the military force we rely on to protect our nation focuses less on being an effective warfighting organization and more on being another woke group that focuses on mainstream political messaging. It gets even worse when you compare it to the way our enemies are viewing their own military as the former and not the latter. Case in point, the left in America has infiltrated and introduced its rot to the U.S. military, and you can now see the infection in its recruitment ads.

Over the past few months, as conspiracy theories have circulated regarding the election results and President Joe Biden’s inauguration, social platforms have struggled to keep up with the onslaught of misinformation. Much of these false narratives have been driven by believers of the QAnon conspiracy theory, the baseless idea that President Trump is lying in wait to expose a secret cabal of Democrats engaged in a child sex-trafficking ring. Inauguration Day was supposed to mark the “storm,” or the day of reckoning when Trump would arrest all of his enemies and send them to Guantanamo Bay; when the storm never arrived, many QAnon believers were left angry and confused.

At one point he even suggested that America may not even see blacks as “fully human” at all.The headline for the interview clearly laid out where they wanted to take things with a quote from Lemon suggesting: “We’re living in two different realities as Black and White people.”

Disney has been accused of pricing out loyal customers by targeting affluent families with $800 hotel rooms and $100 sandwiches at its theme parks, despite having scaled back its 'magic' since the pandemic began. A family vacation to Disneyland - once the pinnacle of summertime for middle-class American families - will today set a family of four back more than $6,000. With the average annual income now standing at $5,725 a month, this means a visit to the so-called 'happiest place on earth' is increasingly out of reach to the average American family.

(snip) Why have the media failed to sell Kamala Harris to their viewers as someone ready to jump into Joe’s shoes, if his advancing debilitation required it? There are two obvious reasons for this failure. One, Kamala Harris was an affirmative action pick for the second spot on the Democratic ticket

Business owners and residents in New York City are expressing fury at the revelation that prosecutors have dropped looing and rioting charges against hundreds arrested during chaos that swept the city last summer. After 603 were arrested in Manhattan and the Bronx during the most intense days of looting last June, 295 of the cases have been dropped completely, according to NYPD data reported by WNBC-TV on Friday. Now Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr and Bronx DA Darcel D. Clark are facing tough questions about why hundreds walked free after the looting rampage caused an estimated tens of millions in damages.
