I didn't think I was a going to get the time to write anything, but whaddya know. Daddy's taxi service has been cancelled at the last moment. No longer required.....I'm distraught.  Seth Rich ....I've heard the name, but I'll leave you to do the heavy lifting on the detail. I gave up on that aspect of the American dream after 15 yrs of speculation about the grassy knoll, & why did Jack Ruby shoot Lee Harvey Oswald. Tremendous interview with Douglas Murray. That's what the best tv was like a generation or so back; an intelligent conversation which anyone so inclined could listen into, & if you preferred braindead crap, you didn't have to. Now it's all braindead crap, & if you don't like it you're an elitist. Interesting what he had to say about the European converts to Islam wanting a total explanation of life after years of dissolute living. Though he's too young to know firsthand how some of the LSD generation got into cults, there's a connection to be made there too, I think. I was intrigued to hear him say that Ratzinger had disarmed the left wing firebrand Orianna Fallaci, who became a campaigner against the Islamicisation of Europe, by telling her that it wasn't necessary to believe in God (Christian version presumably) just to live as if He existed. This as if aspect is something I believe is explored in a book written 10 yrs ago, which has just come to my attention titled 'The Evolution of God' & which I've ordered from Amazon. I'll read it in conjunction with Murray's book which I'm also going to order. His 'Great Man' view of history is something I share, but reliance on that to get us out of the present predicament...I don't know, I really don't. Enoch Powell got shot down in flames although he was on course to become the best Prime Minister we never had. He was the man, who, as Minister of Health, closed down all the One Flew Over the Cuckoo Nest type institutions in England, a decade or more before that film got people talking. All forgotten as it doesn't fit with the Ratzinger didn't want to be seen by posterity as the man who sparked off a religious war, though he did try to do something. The John Chrisostom (sp) lecture incident was as far as he was prepared to go. I don't blame him for bottling out, as that system is designed to choose someone who doesn't really want the job, to have no option but to take it. Victor Orban as an interim choice, maybe ? |
