Pro-Terror Folks Pull Down Posters of Kidnapped Kids, London Police Say: “Hold My Beer” Apparently Reality is to Blame

Screwtape: No doubt he must very soon realise that his own faith is in direct opposition to the assumptions on which all the conversation of his new friends is based. I don’t think that matters much provided that you can persuade him to postpone any open acknowledgment of the fact, and this, with the aid of shame, pride, modesty and vanity, will be easy to do

C. S. Lewis The Screwtape Letters #10

There have been plenty of stories about supposed “anti-racism” protestors taking down pictures of hostages taken by Hamas at colleges and in cities in order to support the “big lie” that exists on camps and elsewhere concerning Hamas’ attack. All of these things are disgraceful.

In response to this a non-profit called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” decided to run giant electric billboards on trucks so they couldn’t be taken down and run said convoy though London to make sure people couldn’t pretend that it wasn’t happening.

That’s when the London Police looked at all those people who’ve been taking down those signs and said “Hold My Beer”.

However, the convoy was stopped on Wednesday by anti-Israel protesters who began heckling and intimidating them. When police officers came, they asked the CAA convoy to shut off its billboards and leave the area.

“The officers told our drivers to turn off their billboard and stop showing the faces of children kidnapped by a proscribed terrorist organization, apparently because their sympathizers on British streets might attack us for showing them,” CAA executive director Gideon Falter said in a video posted to the organization’s X/Twitter page after the encounter. “Before we set out, we had worried that these billboards might attract attention from Hamas sympathizers. We never imagined that it would be the police who would stop us from showing the faces of children kidnapped by a terrorist group banned by the UK government.”

You see if dozens or hundreds or even thousands of Hamas supporters in London attack a convoy of trucks bearing the images of Jewish children being held hostage by Hamas then this would force England in general and the City of London in particular to acknowledge publicly a reality that everyone privately knows but wants to suppress.

I suspect this is why the news that there has apparently already been at least one terror attack in London over Gaza is currently being suppressed:

An asylum seeker bent on avenging deaths in Gaza has carried out a suspected terrorist attack in Britain, The Telegraph can disclose.

The public has not been told that the man, who came to the UK in 2020, told police he had done it for “Palestine”.

MPs said on Friday night that the public had a right to know, amid warnings that demonstrations this weekend could encourage so-called lone-wolf terrorist attacks. 

What’s that reality? That a significant portion of Muslim population they have allowed to come to England legally, illegally and/or as asylum’s seekers are a bunch of unassimilated anti-Semitic thugs who have become too large to effectively control without force and in a generation likely won’t be controllable even with force

The powers that be in England has decided that their own wealth and power depend of postponing the inevitable confrontation this truth will produce at all costs and if that cost means conceding to them the rights of Englishmen today that’s fine with them.

My opinion? The time to have that confrontation is NOW when you still are likely to win it. In one generation you will only have a chance of winning it and within two generations the issue will no longer be in doubt and on that day the English people will regret their lack of a 2nd amendment right.

I’m Old Enough to Remember When the Left Insisted “All Lives Matter” is a Racist Dog Whistle!

For the last four years I’ve been reliably told by the left that anyone who insisted that or Tweeted out “All Lives Matter” was a racist, a bigot and a person who hated blacks.

Now while that’s of course nonsense since all men are created in the image of God and thus their lives matter, my opinion on this subject was ignored and the “new rules” were put in place by people of the left like the folks at Vox:

Offensive political dog whistles: you know them when you hear them. Or do you?

Or USA Today:

#AllLivesMatter hashtag is racist, critics say

Or Distractify:

Maybe You Mean Well, but This Is Why You Shouldn’t Say “All Lives Matter”

Or even the Washington Post

The racist roots of the dog whistle

In fact do a search for the phrase: “All lives matter is a racist dog whistle” and you will find pages of results of our friends on the left declaring that under their rules (not mine) the phrase “all lives matter” is a racist dog whistle and a reliable sign that the person who utters it is beyond the pale.

Well lo and behold apparently now that Israel is about to invade Gaza to destroy the babykillers of Hamas guess what phrase is acceptable again:

Why I’m shocked SHOCKED that Congresswoman Talib would DARE to suggest that “all lives matter” after all the best and the brightest of the elites have told us for almost half a decade now that any person who dares utter this phrase must be a horrible racist who should be shunned and disreguarded.

Now of course I don’t believe that myself but these aren’t my rules, these are the rules that the left in media, academia and Politics have insisted on so how can it be that Talib can say this without being denounced.

Why anyone might suspect that they don’t actually believe in these new rules that they’ve prorogated and only apply them when there is a political advantage and toss them aside as soon as any ally, like say Mass murderers who slaughter helpless women and children and behead babies allies, might be held responsible for their actions.

I look forward to reading the numerous columns in the left media denouncing Congresswoman Talib as a racist.

I’m sure they’ll be ready to print the day after Iran declares that Israel has a right to exist and defend itself from terrorist attacks.

Unexpectedly of course.

Update: Instalanche: Thanks Glenn, Welcome all take a look around check out how Hamas compares unfavorably to the actual Nazi’s and how parts of the shocked left is a great example of how Hell works.

The Perfect Example of How Hell Works, The Jewish Left’s Sudden Encounter With Reality

I was in conversation with my priest this morning after mass and confession and I noted how today’s 1st reading from Joel was almost a blueprint for what is happening and going to happen in Gaza.

As we continued to talk we discussed confession. To get the forgiveness of God paid for by Christ one must be willing to look at oneself in the light of truth. The knowledge that you have sinned and contrition for them is what drives a good Catholic to confession. This is why before absolution one recites an act of contrition like this one.

O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins because of thy just punishments, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, who art all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve with the help of Thy grace to sin no more and to avoid the near occasion of sin. Amen.

There are those who are unwilling and incapable of looking at once self in the light of truth. Who are in denial of their sins. This is why Hell is in fact a mercy of God. Demons under compulsion during exorcisms have bluntly admitted they understand the love of God and the decisions they have made but when asked if they would change their choices they’ve replied emphatically NO! Their pride will not allow it.

Thus do people put themselves into hell as the merciful alternative to admitting a reality that they can’t bear to admit. Pride the ultimate sin.

And that brings us to the pains that parts of the left, particularly the Jewish left is now feeling.

You see many of on the right, particularly folks like Pam Geller and Robert Spencer have been talking about the antisemitism of the left in General and the Muslim left in particular for many many years. For their troubles they were called bigots and hate mongers by all the “right” people of the elite left. How DARE they suggest that any people of the left might think this way! Any such statement was “hate” speech and “violence”.

And then came the Hamas attacks and the slaughter and worse of not only of men but of women and children.

That was painful and awful, particularly to those who had argued for the Palestinians (although a lot more painful for some and even fatal for others) but the pain increased when in colleges around the nation and the world groups (particularly groups heavy in the DEI defended hamas and the slaughter of woman and children. As Victor Davis Hanson put it:

In Australia you actually had the spectacle of people publicly shouting “Gas the Jews” while the only person taken into custody was a single Jewish counter protester with an Israeli flag. In America the highest bastions of Education openly supported these murderous bastards.

To some on the left, particularly the Jewish left it was an eye opening moment. A moment of clarity that shows their “allies” for what they actually are and have always been. Ready to decry “microaggressions” of any of opposed them but declaring that loud public support for the mass murder of woman and children is “free speech’ to be protected and/or excused.

To these people comes the great decision. Do they divorce themselves from this barbarians, do they admit that those of us on the right have been telling the truth all along or do they hate us on the right so much that allying with folks who support their own murder is better?

But for all the angst that this decision will bring their situation at least they now see beyond the bubble and are in a position to make a choice.

There are others on the left who still maintain denial, both of the acts of Hamas or that they bear any responsibility for them.

You see for those folks acknowledging any of these things means they must face the possibility of being wrong. They mustn’t see things in the light of truth it is more then they can handle. Much better to live the lie and remain in the bubble.

How these groups will respond to the reality will define them for the rest of their lives. The question: How many will rather suffer the hell of denial than the pain of reality?

Pray for them all.

Redefining “violence” in Norfolk

I don’t think too much about Civic Leagues, since the one for my neighborhood isn’t very active. I’ve spoken at some before in nearby neighborhoods, and most seem pretty tame, simply trying to connect people with their local officials and help the cops keep better track of crime.

Then there is Norfolk. Because Norfolk always seems to do something stupid, and in this case it was to not recommend that Armed Forces Brewing Company open a taproom in their city.

Was it because AFBC was bringing alcohol to a residential neighborhood? Nope. The location previously hosted O’Connors Brewing.

Was it because AFBC tried to use bad paperwork, bribes and other tactics to flout the rules? Nope. None of those shenanigans seemed to take place.

Civic League people were mad about statements made by AFBC spokesman Rob O’Neill. According to Joe Hamm, the vice president of the League, these were really bad!!!

“So a business that comes in and has insinuations of threats and violence, intimidation through guns in their marketing, does not align with our vision for having a healthy neighborhood and healthy city,” Hamm said.

Threats and Violence!! And using guns in their marketing!?! Better not tell the US Navy to use any guns in its marketing…but I digress. What did Rob say that was so bad?

Well, he was mean to drag queens. From X:

Alright. The U.S. Navy is now using an enlisted sailor Drag Queen as a recruiter. I’m done. China is going to destroy us. YOU GOT THIS NAVY. I can’t believe I fought for this bullshit.

Uhm….sure, you may disagree with his statement, but is it violent? I don’t see Rob calling on people to kill anyone, certainly not any drag queens. I scrolled through Rob’s feed, and while he’s brash and swears a bunch, I didn’t see him once suggesting someone be killed.

Meanwhile, supporting Palestinians and BLM supporters that ACTUALLY hurt and/or killed people is totally fine.

Did people grow up to become huge wimps, or are they calling “violence” on purpose whenever they hear someone say something they don’t like?
