S11 Ep 68(290)S11E9/12: The Death of Peace

November 11 has been celebrated for over a millennium as a day of peace, the feast of Saint Martin, a Christian ego declared that war was against the law of Christ. It sought to sacrifice others rather than to sacrifice oneself, even for enemies. This celebration - a precursor to Advent - a looking forward to the Prince of Peace, was transformed into Armistice Day in 1918, following the end of World War One. Still, it commemorated peace. But during the Cold War, the United States altered the focus of this day, turning it from a celebration of peace to a celebration of those who wage war.A huge thanks to Seth White for the awesome music!Thanks to Palmtoptiger17 for the beautiful logo: https://www.instagram.com/palmtoptiger17/Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/thewayfourth/?modal=admin_todo_tourYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTd3KlRte86eG9U40ncZ4XA?view_as=subscriberInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/theway4th/ Kingdom Outpost: https://kingdomoutpost.org/My Reading List Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/21940220.J_G_ElliotPropaganda Season Outline: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xa4MhYMAg2Ohc5Nvya4g9MHxXWlxo6haT2Nj8Hlws8M/edit?usp=sharing Spotify Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4VSvC0SJYwku2U0awRaNAu?si=3ad0b2fbed2e4864Episode Notes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tsChO4QAFmFGqp2PILbZx1oE9ysw3UTZe5kedsj30YQ/edit?usp=sharing Smedley butler’s letter to mothers: https://www.anarchochristian.com/a-letter-to-mothers/ Puckle Gun different bullets: https://sofrep.com/news/the-puckle-gun-for-shooting-square-bullets-into-non-christians/ Martin of Tours: https://stmr.hwcdsb.ca/ourfaith/patron/Veterans Day History: https://web.archive.org/web/20060728130527/http://www1.va.gov/opa/vetsday/vetdayhistory.aspAll Quiet on the Western Front: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kr_Ouytl9Ws&feature=youtu.beMartinmas: https://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/MartinmasBattle of Mons: https://www.britannica.com/event/Battle-of-Mons-1918Henry Gunther: https://veteransbreakfastclub.org/the-last-man-to-die-in-world-war-i/VFW 1858: http://vfwmd.org/di/vfw/v2/postroster.asp Truman's Barbarity: https://www.trumanlibrary.gov/library/truman-papers/correspondence-harry-s-truman-bess-wallace-1910-1919/november-11-1918 Truman/Oppenheimer: https://screenrant.com/did-president-truman-call-oppenheimer-a-crybaby/Nagasaki Bombing and Urakami Christians: https://artsandculture.google.com/story/atomic-bombing-in-nagasaki-and-the-urakami-cathedral-nagasaki-atomic-bomb-museum/uwXRRfqvSwUA8A?hl=enTruman's I Am Cyrus: https://www.christianitytoday.com/history/issues/issue-99/i-am-cyrus.htmlEisenhower's 1st Prayer Breakfast: https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/remarks-the-dedicatory-prayer-breakfast-the-international-christian-leadershipJesus Galindez: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jes%C3%BAs_Gal%C3%ADndez Niebuhr's King's Chapel and King's Court: https://www.religion-online.org/article/the-kings-chapel-and-the-kings-court/November 11 Deaths: https://www.ncpedia.org/wwi-last-days-warArmistice Day Deaths: https://www.armytimes.com/veterans/salute-veterans/2017/11/10/nov-11-1918-wasted-lives-on-armistice-day/Wilfred Owens's Poem: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/46560/dulce-et-decorum-estPatton's Poem: https://war-poetry.livejournal.com/879105.htmlPatton's Quote: https://quoteinvestigator.com/2015/04/24/war/Last American Death: https://www.history.com/news/world-war-i-armistice-last-american-deathAnti-War Films: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kr_Ouytl9Ws&feature=youtu.be11th Month, 11th Day, 11th Hour: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/348518.Eleventh_Month_Eleventh_Day_Eleventh_Hour Thanks to our monthly supporters J Phillip Mast Laverne Miller Jesse Killion ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

That is not deceiving. What is deceiving is our interpretation based on assumptions, limited information, etc. So what I “know” isn’t what always truly is. 2) Eyes being the windows to the soul is meant to say that we can read emotions and intentions in others eyes, regardless of what they say. However, I take this phrase literally. If I look into another’s eyes and don’t see or believe in a soul behind them, I just view them as another pile of matter. And while beauty being in the eyes of the beholder is meant to give the beholder the power of importing meaning and value, here I flip it to mean not that the power to import beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, but beauty actually lies behind the one beholding (or using their eyes to see). 3) The saying is really that “time remedies all ills.” However, the accrual of enough time is simply synonymous with death and destruction, as that is what eventually happens, and what is meant in the saying. In this section I flip the intended phrase by saying that death will cure the ills time will build, which opposes the common saying.[2] It’s not really the looks of things that are deceiving. Everything that enters our eyes and senses is true. It’s when it gets to our brain and our thoughts that things get twisted. If my mind is so good at twisting reality, even as the facts are right in front of me, how can I trust any assessment I make of “facts?”[3] So often the things I have “known” to be true ended up not being true. There’s a tension between what I feel I know, and the knowledge that what I’ve “known” in the past has frequently been overturned because of my twisting of reality.[4] Physicalism has many moving away from notions of the soul, and other such spiritual concepts. When I look into another’s eyes I’m just looking at a conglomeration of carbon and other elements. What my brain extracts and takes as knowledge is largely a social construct.[5] But if the eyes I look into are windowless, what of my eyes? If there’s no beauty in the eyes of those I behold due to there being no soul, then I’m not really a beholder myself, as I have no soul. What then of beauty? And what then of the value of others, and of my own value? What then of essence? Do I become a machine moving along purely by the laws of

For there is no lie that is not contrary to truth. For, as lightand darkness, piety and impiety, justice and iniquity, sin andright-doing, health and weakness, life and death, so are truth and alie contrary the one to the other. Whence by how much we love theformer, by so much ought we to hate the latter. Yet in truth there besome lies which to believe does no harm: although even by such sort oflie to wish to deceive, is hurtful to him that tells it, not to himthat believes it.2: Some man will say, So then any thief whatever is to be accountedequal with that thief who steals with will of mercy? Who would saythis? But of these two it does not follow that any is good, becauseone is worse. He is worse who steals through coveting, than he whosteals through pity: but if all theft be sin, from all theft we mustabstain. For who can say that people may sin, even though one sin bedamnable, another venial? But now we are asking, if a man shall dothis or that, who will not sin or will sin? Not, who will sin moreheavily or lightly.3. Apostle Peter had that in his heart which he had on his lips whenhe denied Christ? Surely in that denial he held the truth within anduttered the lie without. Why then did he wash away with tears thedenial which he uttered with his mouth, if that sufficed for salvationthat with the heart he believed? Why, speaking the truth in his heart,did he punish with so bitter weeping the lie which he brought forthwith his mouth, unless because he saw it to be a great and deadlyevil, that while with his heart he believed unto righteousness, withhis mouth he made not confession unto salvation?4. Why then do we not rout out heretics, in order to their beingcaught, by the flesh committing lasciviousness in adultery, and yetthink right to rout them out by a mouth committing fornication inblasphemy? For either it will be lawful to defend both the one and theother with equal reason, that these things be therefore said to be notunjust, because they were done with intention of finding out theunjust: or if sound doctrine wills not even for the sake of findingout heretics that we should have to do with unchaste women, albeitonly in body, not in mind, assuredly not even for the sake of findingout heretics wills it that by us, albeit only in voice not in mind,either unclean heresy were preached, or the chaste Catholic Churchblasphemed.5. But he who says that some lies are just, must be judged to say noother than that some sins are just, and therefore some things are justwhich are unjust: than which what can be more absurd? For whence is athing a sin, but for that it is contrary to justice? Be it said thenthat some sins are great, some small, because it is true; and let usnot listen to the Stoics who maintain all to be equal: but to say thatsome sins are unjust, some just, what else is it than to say thatthere be some unjust, some just iniquities?6. commit not thou a great crime thine own, while thou dreadest agreater crime of other men, for be the difference as great as thouwilt between thine own and that of others, this will be thine own,7. e36For if a lewd woman crave of you the gratification of her lust,and, when you consent not, she perturbed with the fierceness of herlove should die, will chastity also be a murderer? Or, truly, becausewe read, We are a sweet savor of Christ in every place, both in themwhich are saved and in them which perish; to the one, indeed, a savorof life unto life, to others a savor of death unto death; shall wepronounce even the savor of Christ to be a murderer?

Smith's Mall: https://jameskasmith.com/the-mall-as-consumerist-cathedral/ Arendt's Quote: The word religion must be understood in its original roman sense and [the piety of the founders] would then consist in binding themselves back to a beginning as roman pietas consisted in being bound back to the beginning of roman history the foundation of the eternal city…… And since it was in this respect that the American revolution was most conspicuously different from all other revolutions which were to follow, one was tempted to conclude that it was the authority that the act of foundation carried in itself rather than the belief in an eternal legislator, or the promises of reward and the threats of punishment in a future state, or even the doubtful self-evidence of the truths enumerated in the preamble to the declaration of independence that assured stability for the New Republic. Ballou's Quote: As constituent supporters of human government, ( whether civil or military, or a compound of both -) in its state or national sovereignty, men are morally responsible for all constitutions, institutions, laws, processes, and usages, which they have pledged themselves to support, or which they avowedly approve, or which they depend upon as instrumentalities for securing and promoting their personal welfare, or in which they acquiesce without positive remonstrance and disfellowship. Thus if a political compact, a civil or military league, covenant, or constitution, requires, authorizes, provides for, or tolerates war, bloodshed, capital punishment, slavery, or any kind of absolute injury - offensive or defensive, the man who swears, affirms, or otherwise pledges himself to support such a compact, league, covenant, or constitution, is just as responsible for every act of injury done in strict conformity thereto, as if he himself personally committed it. He is not responsible for abuses and violations of the constitution.But for all that is constitutionally done he is responsible. The army is his army, the navy his navy, the militia his militia, the gallows his gallows, the -^ pillory his pillory, the whipping-post his whipping-post, the branding-iron his branding-iron, the prison to prison, the dungeon his dungeon, and the slaveholding his slaveholding. When the constitutional majority declare war, it is his war. All the slaughter, rapine, ravages, robbery, destruction, and mischief committed under that declaration, in accordance with the laws of war, are his. Nor can he exculpate himself by pleading that he was one of a strenuous an

As a great river flows by a thousand channels through fertile country, so let your wealth run through many conduits to the homes of the poor. Wells that are drawn from flow the better; left unused, they go foul…Money kept standing idle is worthless; but moving and changing hands it benefits the community and brings increase…“I am wronging no one,” you say, “I am merely holding on to what is mine.” What is yours! Who gave it to you so that you could bring it into life with you? Why, you are like a man who pinches a seat at the theater at the expense of latecomers, claiming ownership of what was for common use. That’s what the rich are like; having seized what belongs to all, they claim it as their own on the basis of having got there first. Whereas if everyone took for himself enough to meet his immediate needs and released the rest for those in need of it, there would be no rich and no poor.Did you not come naked out of the womb? Will you not go naked back into the earth? (Job 1) So where did the wealth you now enjoy come from? If you say “from nowhere,” you deny God, ignore the Creator, are ungrateful to the Giver. If you say “from God,” then explain why it was given to you.When a man strips another of his clothes, he is called a thief. Should not a man who has the power to clothe the naked but does not do so be called the same? The bread in your larder belongs to the hungry. The cloak in your wardrobe belongs to the naked. The shoes you allow to rot belong to the barefoot. The money in your vaults belongs to the destitute. You do injustice to every man whom you could help but do not.If you are rich, how can you remain so? If you cared for the poor, it would consume your wealth. When each one receives a little for one’s needs, and when all owners distribute their means simultaneously for the care of the needy, no one will possess more than his neighbor.Yet it is plain that you have very many lands. Why? Because you have subordinated the relief and comfort of many to your convenience. And so, the more you abound in your riches, the more you are deficient in love.Saint John Chrysostom (347–407 AD):If a poor man comes to you asking for bread, there is no end of complaints and reproaches and charges of idleness; you upbraid him, insult him, jeer at him. You fail to realize that you too are idle and yet G

When we enquire by what means this wonder is effected, we shall find, that, as Force is always on the side of the governed, the governors have nothing to support them but opinion. It is therefore, on opinion only that government is founded; and this maxim extends to the most despotic and most military governments, as well as to the most free and most popular. The soldan of Egypt, or the emperor of Rome, might drive his harmless subjects, like brute beasts, against their sentiments and inclination: But he must, at least, have led his mamalukes, or prætorian bands, like men, by their opinion.DOUGLAS QUOTE: But a change has now come over the affairs of mankind. Walled cities and empires have become unfashionable. The arm of commerce has borne away the gates of the strong city. Intelligence is penetrating the darkest corners of the globe. It makes its pathway over and under the sea, as well as on the earth. Wind, steam, and lightning are its chartered agents. Oceans no longer divide, but link nations together. From Boston to London is now a holiday excursion. Space is comparatively annihilated. -- Thoughts expressed on one side of the Atlantic are distinctly heard on the other.The far off and almost fabulous Pacific rolls in grandeur at our feet. The Celestial Empire, the mystery of ages, is being solved. The fiat of the Almighty, "Let there be Light," has not yet spent its force. No abuse, no outrage whether in taste, sport or avarice, can now hide itself from the all-pervading light.SELECTED WIMBERLY QUOTES: - Most individuals are quick to note that they are no dupes and harbor many suspicious and critical thoughts about propaganda. But, in trying to evaluate the impact of propaganda, it has to be remembered that propagandists have almost no interest in the individual. Propagandists focused on mass subjectivities—human beings in their collective social relationships and actions. It is perfectly possible that an individual might feel as an individual that she is critical and little impacted by propaganda: after all, does not she know that it is all smoke and mirrors? However, what we are judging is n
