The only people shocked by this are those who get their info from the MSM

Picture if you will an election that wasn’t stolen in 2020. Picture Donald Trump about to begin a 2nd term in 2021 with the rollout of the vaccine.

Imagine what would be happening.

Suddenly every sudden heart attack , every case of Myocarditis, particularly among athletes, would be front page news. People in media, politics and Hollywood and academic would be lining up to decry the vaccine and proudly declare that they would not be taking it led by Kamila Harris and the VARES web site and chart would be as ubiquitous as the various rainbow flags on leftist campus.

And of course all the tech giants would be lionizing those who questioned the vaccine and the side effects.

Does anyone actually believe that it would be any other way?

Repeated line: THERE ARE NO MACRA!

Doctor Who the Macra Terror 1967

There are two things I do regularly while I work:

I pray my rosaries and divine mercy chaplets

I listen to Doctor Who audios

In terms of the Rosary it’s the same on a daily basis. I pray 3 20 decade rosaries for specific intentions for each decade and for variable intentions for two of the three Rosaries. (If you’ve ever asked me to pray for something and I’ve told you I’ll do so till you tell me to stop, odds are I’m still praying for your specific intention daily).

But the Doctor Who audios are different. I listen to them in order and once I finish Capaldi I go back to the 1st Doctor and start again with the 1st Doctor. It takes about nine months to listen to them all.

Right now I’m on the 2nd doctor. The currents companions are Jamie and Victoria and the current story is The Great Space Elevator. But it was just last week that I was listening to the Macra Terror with Jamie, Polly and Ben traveling with Patrick Troughten’s 2nd Doctor.

It’s’ the story of a society that’s being lied to and manipulated by it’s leadership (which has been taken over by the Macra for their own ends). There were a lot of such stories in the 2nd-5th Doctor era at a time when the people who wrote such stores preached skepticism toward government power.

I could not help but think of our current situation as I listened to it.

So I would like to offer a challenge to people in general and to Doctor Who fans who tend to lean left in particular.

I challenge those who have either the audio of the episode, Britbox, or the animated version of said lost episode to watch it and I challenge those who have neither to read this transcript of the episode.

Then ask yourselves if those pushing the vaccines and punishing those who refuse them remind you of anyone in the episode.

Today is the final day of the Christmas season and the beginning of ordinary time in the Church with the feast of the Baptism of Christ.

Because Christmas fell on a Saturday this is the shortest possible Christmas Season under the new calendar (under the old Calendar Christmas ran till Feb 2nd, forty days till the Feast of the Presentation) but it’s an appropriate end to the season as the events are a precursor of “Water and the Spirit” that Jesus explains to Nicodemus in John’s Gospel:

Nicodemus said to him, “How can a person once grown old be born again? Surely he cannot reenter his mother’s womb and be born again, can he?”

Jesus answered, “Amen, amen, I say to you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit. What is born of flesh is flesh and what is born of spirit is spirit.

John 3:4-6

As John the Baptist noted Christ did not need baptism but yet he submits to it as an example and the spirit descends and makes it clear exactly who Christ is.

This is what our baptism does for us which is why so many are so desperate to delay or stop it from happening. As soon as we are baptized we are part of that Christmas morning when we become flesh and spirit and enter into this world a new creation.
