TRANSCRIPT
As U.S. bishops finalize their plans for their Baltimore meeting in less than two weeks, it will be interesting to see if they have any discussion on the COVID craziness they have been so instrumental in helping spread.
Bishops, like Ed Burns in Dallas, have led the charge in promoting fear and instituting virtual tyranny with the faithful. Of course, it's all done in the name of health and your safety because, you know, you aren't mature enough to make your own decisions.
For decades, this lackluster group has done nothing except promote the notion that we Catholic laity are not children — we are mature adults and should stand upright in our decision-making. Our consciences are our guide. We don't have to kneel like little children to receive Holy Communion or be fed like we are toddlers. We are mature — full Catholic citizens.
We should be involved in the life of the Church. We should be in the sanctuary. We need "active participation." Of course, all that hogwash gets dumped overboard the instant any layperson actually takes it seriously and follows it to its logical conclusion.
What is the logical conclusion? Well, for starters, the bishops can't be trusted. Therefore, everything they say and do must be scrutinized and weighed against logic and truth. Too often they come up woefully short. And the COVID madness is just the latest in a long string of such failings.
We've gone from a two-week "slow the spread" to a "get jabbed or lose your job" mentality in a very short period of time. So much for standing upright in the Faith as mature adults making our own decisions based on our consciences. All over America, multiple dioceses are firing long-time workers in parishes, schools and chanceries for refusing the jab.
In instituting this level of madness, the bishops keep in lockstep with their Marxist overlords in Washington, D.C. Every time Church Militant reports some new government COVID madness, you can bet that some lousy bishop somewhere has already instituted it in his diocese, and, of course, others follow suit: No mask, no entrance to the parish; no mask, your child is kicked out of Catholic school.
Talk about Democrats in robes, but this is nothing new. But what is new, or at least the latest development, is the requirement that seminarians either get the jab, or they will be expelled. Yep. In the middle of a vocation crisis — brought about by the gay crisis within the clergy — certain bishops are now saying that without the jab, there will be no Holy Orders.
Of course, that had already been institutionalized with other sacraments during the scamdemic. Access to the Blessed Sacrament was cut off along with confession and, in many, many locations, the anointing of the sick and dying, commonly referred to as "last rites."
That's three of the seven sacraments; so heck, why not go for a majority — four out of seven. They'd likely eliminate baptism as well, but they don't completely control that, since anyone can administer that sacrament. But if they control it, you can be sure they'll limit it, all in the name of "health and safety." (But only the health and safety of your body. Your soul? Meh, not so much.)
How many Catholics died alone without the sacraments during the last almost two years? Cut off by orders from the bishop, even when individual priests were willing to go to hospitals and risk their lives for the sake of those souls. There is no word to describe that level of evil by the bishops.
And now we have come to the issue of the fake-Catholic and unelected Biden's vaccine mandate. Again, some bishops were already out in front of the old fool on this one. Even when state governors were challenging it and refusing to enforce it and even threatening any business that imposed it, the bishops stuck to their guns.
No Jab, no job. And in the case of the sacraments — no jab, no Jesus. This has raised the ire of hundreds of priests all over the country, who are somewhat helpless to resist this publicly without suffering severe consequences. That's one reason that earlier this year, Church Militant formed what we call the "New Catacombs."
The New Catacombs is an organization of hundreds of priests and deacons across America who, while remaining anonymous, even to each other, challenge the insanity of various bishops' words and actions. With regularity, they publish their own statement decrying some horrible thing the bishops are pushing (like, in this case, kicking out young men prepared to give their lives for Christ because they won't get vaccinated).
Here is the latest statement from the clergy of the New Catacombs:
The removal of seminarians for not submitting to an order to be vaccinated (i.e., coercing seminarians to act against their consciences) is unjust, as implied by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. The CDF has further stated there is no moral obligation to be vaccinated and that vaccinations must be voluntary. The right to free exercise of religion is not subject to any statement of belief of any religious group but is rather an individual right, one not tied to adherence to any religious organization or its precepts.
They conclude with a summary statement, which is pretty powerful:
The use of experimental vaccines on unwilling individuals violates the dignity of the person and is contrary to the moral law.
Because the right to free exercise of religion is not tied to a statement of belief of any religious group or adherence to its precepts, the U.S. Constitution protects the individuals' practice of their Faith whether or not they are supported in their choices by any church or religious institution. This interpretation has already been recognized by the EEOC.
Therefore, the removal of seminarians for not submitting to a vaccination is seen by the Church as unjust and demeaning of human dignity and also as conflicting with Church doctrine regarding freedom of conscience, as well as the moral law.
For the record, the statement was approved unanimously by the hundreds of priests and deacons who are members of the New Catacombs. One hundred percent.
It's disgraceful that such an organization as the New Catacombs even has to exist, but these are the times we are in. Priests are canceled by their weak, cowardly or gay bishops for simply speaking the truth (or they're threatened with it) so they have gone down into the "catacombs" to operate secretly and still be able to reach Catholic laity to support them.
If you are a priest or know a priest who wants to know more about the New Catacombs, please just click on the provided link. Your identity is kept so confidential that even the other priests in the group don't know each other. We set it up that way on purpose to protect everyone from a nutty bishop trying to learn more about all this.
Word to bishops: Don't waste your time. Only a very tiny number of people, all of them here inside the walls at Church Militant, know these clerics' identities, and we are not going to reveal any of them.
And speaking of "canceled priests," Fr. Paul Kalchik, driven out of Chicago by a combination of pro-gay Cdl. Cupich and lesbian mayor Lori Lightfoot three years ago, is continuing to be persecuted for speaking the truth. The archdiocese of Indianapolis has forbidden him from speaking on Church property about the Blessed Sacrament — we kid you not.
Father Kalchik is a priest in good standing. He won his canon law case in Rome against the crooked Cdl. Cupich, and yet, he is still ostracized by the homosexual cabal that runs the Church. Lay people in the Indianapolis archdiocese, after having failed to get the permission of their archbishop, Charles Thompson, simply moved the talk off church property and rented a venue the archdiocese has no control over.
The talk by Fr. Kalchik, entitled "The Real Presence in the Eucharist and Worthy Reception," is this Saturday, Nov. 6 at 10:30 a.m.
Please click on the link for details and make every effort you can to attend. Father is a splendid priest, a victim of abuse and even more egregious abuse now by the hierarchy. Your support of him would do wonders, not to mention he knows a lot about the Faith.
So can you see what's happening right now in the Church? Lay organizations are reduced to having to fight the evil — not so much of the world but against that of the hierarchy. Thrown off parish property; canceled left, right and center; having to come to the defense of good priests receiving a mauling at the hands of crooked cardinals and bishops: This is the Church of America in the 21st century.
But is any of this likely to come up at their Baltimore meeting in a couple of weeks? Nope; not unless it's a discussion on how to attack the faithful even more and shut 'em down. No wonder they are operating behind the scenes to thwart our "Bishops: Enough Is Enough" rally and have been for months.
The bishops of America crossed a line back in the summer of shame when the McCarrick revelations came out. They lied and lawyered up. And screwed over priests and laity who would not accept their treachery. But the jig is up.
Official rally or not, from what we hear, a pretty sizable crowd is going to be there on Tuesday, Nov. 16 to make their voices heard that this corruption and mauling of the Faith has got to stop.
See you in the nation's first diocese on Nov. 16.
And bishops, since so many of you are so keen on quoting the pope about the marginalized and the outcast, why not come out and hang with that very crowd you have created in the Church?
C'mon. Come out to us and get the "smell of the sheep" on you.

TRANSCRIPT
Remember today — especially since it's All Souls' Day — to pray for all your loved ones who have died marked with the sign of faith. That's an important line, extremely important, one you should pay very close attention to Bp. "Reasonable Hope All Men Are Saved" Barron. No, all men are not saved. The Son of God said so.
But that kind of ambiguity, deliberate or otherwise, is the mark of the Church of Nice. "All is good." "Everyone goes to Heaven." "Sin is really nothing else than just a bad choice."
Obfuscation, ambiguity, off-balance, keep 'em guessing: Those are the four marks of the Church of Nice. And that means anything and everything can be permissible. Never out-and-out condemn anything, even child murder because, you know, we should "never be judgmental" (unless, of course, it's calling faithful Catholics "rigid"; that is okay).
But calling child killers "rigid" in their unswerving orthodoxy to wanton slaughter of the most innocent, that can never be allowed, which is why the secular media and faithful Catholics were in such a state last Friday when Biden dropped in on the pope to pay him a little social visit.
Almost nothing came out of that meeting other than a series of questions and uncertainties. Did the Vatican cancel the live video feed at the last minute because Biden had a "bathroom in his pants" incident as was suggested on social media?
That's probably unlikely because, according to faithful Catholic and director of Human Events, Jack Posobiec, his sources told him it was because the White House was insisting that Biden say a rehearsed line and the pope respond with a rehearsed line that "all was good" with the pope and the child-killing president about his abortion stance.
Is it true that someone in the Vatican lost their cool when this was being pushed by the White House advance team, and they decided to pull the plug? There's no official announcement one way or the other from the Vatican.
Also, when Biden was asked a shouted question from a reporter about if he and the pope had discussed abortion, Biden said back, "No, it didn't. It came up; we just talked about the fact that he was happy I was a good Catholic, and I should keep receiving Communion."
First, well which is it, Joe? Did it come up, or did it not? Go back and look at the words. Did it come up? "No, it didn't. It came up." Huh? That's about as clear as double-masked, double-vaxxed White House press secretary Peppermint Patty — er — Jen Psaki catching COVID over the weekend.
In addressing the question, was "Brandon" just reverting to the alleged script that was supposed to have happened until the Vatican supposedly pulled the plug on the high-stakes theater? We don't know. Did the pope say that to him? Well, Biden — even without dementia — has been the consummate liar for his entire life, so it's easy to see things that way.
On the other hand, the Vatican refuses to respond to questions to clarify if what Biden said is true or not. That is its own very large problem.
What is clear from Friday's escapades is this: Abortion continues to remain the issue in politics today — as, in truth, it should be. Child sacrifice on the altar of consequence-free sensual pleasure is no small matter. Note that the ostensible reason given for the high-level meeting of the two old men was the upcoming environmental meeting in Scotland.
But none of the media cared about that. All anyone wanted to talk about is the real issue of abortion. Following on the heels of Nancy's meeting where she dashed off to Mass after she and the pope fawned all over each other, Biden shows up and all attention switches to abortion.
Would the pope put Biden in his place? Would Biden get the blessing of the pope despite the old fool's ongoing support for child killing? Here is the premier example of everything wrong in the Church today: We don't know.
With this entire compromised hierarchy, the truth is the last thing they care about. Did Pope "Environmental Crisis" Francis even say anything to Biden about his 85-car motorcade pulling into the Vatican (that's a lot of carbon footprint even for Joe and his possible "Poopgate" emissions)?
We don't even know if either man actually believes their own emissions about carbon emissions. Do they seriously believe all that, or are they simply using it, like COVID, to spread fear and then weaponize the fear to increase government power even more?
There is simply too much hidden in the Church these days. In fact, everything is hidden. Even the teachings are hidden. The politics, the finances, the abuse, the cover-ups, the authentic teachings, the homosexual relationships — all of it is hidden under piles of "emissions."
What we can deduce is this: The truth is glorious on its own; resplendent in awe, in majesty. Anyone — president, pope, hierarchy, politicians — who either actively obscures it or refuses to let it burst forth will have to answer to Him who is Truth.
People, meaning individual souls, should not have to guess at the truth; they should not be kept in a state of "keep 'em guessing." It's spiritual criminality.
It will be interesting to watch how the U.S. bishops conduct business in two weeks at their Baltimore meeting. Even there, the truth is obscured. Media are reporting (incorrectly, because they want an abortion/Joe Biden/Holy Communion headline) that the worthless document the bishops are toiling over will have a section where they address Holy Communion being given to pro-abort Catholics.
It won't. We've already been told that by the bishops themselves in charge of the document. Why on earth, after half a century of obscurity and obfuscation, would anyone think that now, at last, the bishops will finally decide to actually obey canon 915?
There's as much of a chance of that happening as there is discovering the truth about "Poopgate" or what the pope actually told Biden or if Biden just straight up lied or had a senior moment thinking the script he had memorized actually happened.
Good luck with all that.
And touching on Baltimore, for those wondering, the City, in conjunction with the venue, is still throwing up legal hurdles and contract hurdles in hopes of running out the clock. We are now exactly two weeks away and have no definite answer about the rally happening at the pavilion — because this is what it's like fighting city hall.
As of yesterday, the case had now moved to the U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. A ruling to allow the rally to go forward in the pavilion could be forthcoming in the immediate future, or maybe not.
So what we are now telling people (with just two weeks to go) is this: If you are aware of the importance, to show in Baltimore. Whether there is a rally in the pavilion or not, then by all means, it's a free country (for the moment anyway) so you do what your Catholic mind and heart inspire you to do.
If, in the meantime, the Fourth Circuit rules in our favor, we will jump quick like bunny rabbits to let you know and have you reserve a seat in the pavilion. If they either rule against us or don't rule in time, then from what we hear (and totally unrelated to anything Church Militant is organizing) there will still be some kind of massive presence in front of the hotel, just like the city attorney said should happen in open court.
One way or the other, the bishops are going to see and hear that enough is enough!

TRANSCRIPT
The former boundaries or camps are rapidly disappearing: political-party affiliation, color of skin, financial status, liberal/conservative. While those designations have not completely lost their meanings, they probably mean less now than they ever did.
Almost every former identifying adjective now needs a new adjective in front of it to clarify. We see this, for example, in the war within the Democratic Party over the budget bill. Identifying as just a Democrat these days doesn't really tell you much. Are you a so-called progressive Democrat or a moderate Democrat (for example)?
Same in the Republican caucus: Are you a "Trumpian Republican" or a "never Trumper." The second word, Democrat or Republican, is essentially meaningless these days without a qualifier in front of it.
But Catholics have been into this whole specificity issue for decades now, as we see the Church imploding due to gay bishops who have subverted so much of the Faith as to bring about massive division. Like in politics, it now is essentially meaningless to identify as simply a Catholic. It needs an adjective in front of the word to give it any meaning.
Are you a liberal Catholic, for example, or a faithful Catholic? The label "Catholic" has been gutted of its meaning by the traitorous actions of homosexual clergy. On the political scene, while these second-tier delineations have been around for a while, it was the emergence of Trump back in 2016 that accelerated it all and brought it into sharp focus.
Likewise, in the Church, while these second-tier groupings have been developing for decades, they have been made much clearer owing to the Francis pontificate. All over the world (and in the Church, most especially), a giant separation is occurring — a pulling apart of what has essentially been a vehicle for evil.
Civil liberties, natural law and Church teachings have all been massively diluted because of the mixture of the good with the bad: vaxxed, unvaxxed, masked, anti-mask and so on. Evil has advanced on all fronts, and the good has been on defense and shrinking.
There is not a sector of society untouched by this. On the Evening News portion of our Church Militant Catholic Info Hour just last Thursday, the stories we covered were so ridiculous, it's hard to even report them: male high school students in drag doing lap dances on their principal, the most outrageous gay theater performance held at a Catholic high school, 8-year-olds being taken to a local gay bar as a school field trip.
As one of the regular hosts of Evening News, I can say frankly that I can't believe some of the stuff that sometimes comes out of my mouth. It's insane. But here we are — 2021. But as evil continues to reveal itself, there is a reaction against it that is also growing.
It appears that the reaction is something less than the tsunami of evil being reacted against. But nonetheless, it is a gathering of the good in opposition to the evil, a waking up to the reality. For too long now, the weeds have grown up alongside the wheat, wrapping themselves around the wheat and slowly stunting it and choking it off.
It is, in short, exactly as Our Blessed Lord said it would be. And recall in Gospel of St. Matthew that Our Savior also said, "And unless those days had been shortened, no flesh should be saved: But for the sake of the elect, those days shall be shortened." In the same passage, Our Blessed Lord also stresses, "And He shall send His angels with a trumpet, and a great voice: And they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from the farthest parts of the heavens to the utmost bounds of them."
What we are witnessing today in the world is something of what Our Lord was foretelling. The good and the bad cannot long mix: There must, by necessity, come about a separation. And in all certainty, precisely what is being separated over is the single issue of God and His kingship.
The lines of Democrat, Republican, conservative, liberal, Black, White are, at their foundations, meaningless. It reveals nothing of substance of where a person, a soul, stands in relationship to Almighty God. That is the only category that matters.
For way too long now, evil has been allowed to operate and collectivize and plot and strategize under the radar — while good has been pretty much asleep at the switch, with the result being many people of goodwill have been sucked into the chasm of evil. In Our Lord's parable of the wheat and the weeds, He even says that the weeds grew up around the wheat "while we were sleeping."
Interestingly, when the servants in the parable ask if they should go rip up the weeds, the master says no — let them grow together until the appointed time so as to not harm the wheat. But when the time comes, Our Lord says it will be by His hand. He will separate the wheat from the weeds, the sheep from the goats. He will intervene and save the elect before the damage is too much to be overcome.
All of what the Son of God says is very clear: There must be a separation, a division, for the sake of the elect. They must be preserved from the effects of the evil around them, a harvesting time. We see something of this now unfolding right before our eyes.
A great separating is happening, even for those who, at this moment, may not be faithful Catholics or who are ignorant Catholics; those who are still responding to the natural law written on their hearts and are looking out on the world and recognizing the horror of all this evil.
As it was in the days of Noah, there will be the few on the Ark who are preserved, and the vast number will be lost (note to Bp. Barron). No one — especially Our Lord — ever said the time of the separation, harvest time, would be easy to endure. Tearing away evil from the good must by necessity be a painful and messy process.
Even in the individual soul, think of the pain and difficulty in wresting away sin and its attraction from our hearts. We are striving for perfection, for nothing impure can enter Heaven. Of course, this will be a hard and messy affair, full of tears and pain. Such is the effect of sin, especially if a soul has become somewhat comfortable with its sinful state, yet still hears that quiet voice of the Savior echoing in its depths.
God is the great divider. This we must never forget. For all the blather from the ungodly about unity and tolerance and acceptance, that's all fake. Those dynamics are covers, masquerades for the evil-minded. For the wicked, those qualities are not rooted in the good but abused for the glorification of their sin.
The only true unity that has ever existed is within the Blessed Trinity. And it is to that unity that the elect are called and must strive for. So my fellow Catholics, do not become alarmed or even distraught as we see events unfolding as they are: It must be so.
God is at work separating, as He promised He would do, to bring about the salvation of the elect and authentic unity in Himself. The wicked must go to their own place, and, while it is a sad spectacle to behold souls willfully casting themselves into the fiery pit, know that all of this has been preordained from all eternity.
Our duty is to never surrender the good — no matter how unpopular, no matter the cost. Remain in a state of grace, or get back into one and stay there. It would certainly seem that the harvest has just begun.

TRANSCRIPT
Swimming in the corrupt waters of the U.S. hierarchy can be somewhat confusing if you don't understand the connections between many of these men.
Most are highly immoral and, as such, they keep company with each other. It's all about personal relationships and how and where all their paths have crossed. Remember, most bishops have done time in other dioceses before coming to a new one. In those other dioceses, they were almost always chancery rats who hung around with other chancery rats. Prior to that, they were in seminary and developed all sorts of relationships there as well.
As the years pass by in their careers, they forge deeper relationships with other scoundrels who eventually become bishops in their own right. And what we could call the internal migration within the hierarchy begins; the shifting of various scoundrels from one diocese to another and then on to another.
And when enough of these men have done enough shifting around, a web begins to form; an extensive network of cover-up and lies and deception all designed to insulate and protect themselves. That is the state of things right now — it's a virtually unbreakable web, akin to a steel mesh that is very difficult to penetrate unless you understand from the outset that this is what you are dealing with. In law enforcement, they call it a crime syndicate, with each mob boss protecting the other sufficiently to prevent his own corner of the web from crashing in.
The evil these men participate in is a tightly woven fabric with strings and overlaps and interconnections, things that happened years earlier suddenly shedding light on something recent or vice versa.
Take, for example, the recent revelations earlier this week about Fr. Gregory Loughney from the diocese of Scranton, who got busted on video trying to seduce what he thought were teenaged boys. It was a sting operation, and he eventually admitted on camera he has a problem.
So let's look a little deeper into this.
Bishop Bambera (Bambi) ordained the sketchy Loughney. In fact, Loughney was the very first ordination of his episcopate. Loughney had a pretty shady past when Bambi embraced him. More on that in an upcoming Church Militant investigation.
But it's noteworthy that right about the time Bambi was ordaining this creep, he was also forbidding Church Militant to speak on church property in his diocese. It was, in fact, the first time, but not the last, that Church Militant would be denied being able to speak on Church property in a given diocese, so Bambi and we go back a long way. The same year Bambi ordains a child predator with a sketchy past is the same year he's issuing statements about how "unCatholic" Church Militant is.
Anyway, that 2011 incident caused a small uproar since we had been invited by local Catholics to come to give a talk about the Faith. They wrote to Bambi asking about it, and the answer they got back all those years ago has now taken on new significance as the large uproar surrounding our Baltimore rally unfolds.
First, here is the relevant part of the answer the local Scranton Catholics got back from Bambi's chancery: "It was expressed to us by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) that there have been a number of controversies which have occurred as a result of Mr. Voris' presentations."
And there it is, all the way back in 2011, from Bambi's Vicar General: The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops was denouncing Church Militant in communications to bishops. Ten years ago.
And so now you can see where this is heading — from Scranton a decade ago, straight to Baltimore just weeks ago. The Bishops' Conference has proven time and again it hates the glare of the spotlight on it and does anything and everything it can to escape it. So when the city of Baltimore violated our First Amendment rights by cancelling our rally, forcing us to sue and win, the media contacted the USCCB and asked if they had any role in it.
Of course, the conference issued a statement saying they had nothing to do with it, even though it was their very meeting we were protesting As we said yesterday, this gang is little else than liars. Does anyone really think that they would conspire with the local bishop in Scranton a decade ago to prevent us from talking and yet 10 years later when Church Militant has a much higher profile and is rolling into town with the likes of Bannon, Milo, Malkin and persecuted priests to denounce their evil that they would just give us a pass? Please.
Of course, unlike Bambi 10 years ago, the local bishop this time is William Lori, one of the top bishops in America owing to his being bishop of Baltimore, the first diocese in the country.
And just as Bambi had some horrible homosexual stuff in his diocese to hide, so does Lori — and with Lori, it stretches back to his time in Bridgeport. But, we do have to say that his time in Bridgeport made him something of an expert.
Church Militant has published an article on our site, the content of which was obtained from investigative sources within the Church who have extremely extensive knowledge of the homosexual cabal up and down the East Coast over the past 20 years or so. We highly recommend you read the article, entitled 'Archbishop Complicit With Gay Network.'
It details the homosexual orgy and party circuit that was highly active when Lori was bishop of Bridgeport and of which Bridgeport was a central gathering place.
According to Church investigators, along the 1-95 corridor that stretches from New York to Boston, multiple homosexual priests and seminarians would arrange weekly Friday night get-togethers at select locations and meet up and do their thing well into the wee hours of Saturday morning.
According to the report:
Included in this grouping of priests who were involved in the gay hook-up culture with seminarians were a number of clergy from the Diocese of Bridgeport under Bishop Lori.
At the time of the 2012 investigation, it became common knowledge among clergy and seminarians that Bridgeport diocesan priests were involved in the gay pipe-line and hook-up culture which centred around the local gay bars in the Bridgeport and New Haven area.
Bishop William Lori was the Bishop of Bridgeport from 2001 to 2012 and during the eleven years as shepherd of the Bridgeport Diocese, was overseeing many members of his clergy who were directly involved in the sexual abuse and homosexual activity with individuals both under and over eighteen (18) years of age.
Lori is either a dirtbag who knew about this and ignored it or is so highly negligent in what he should have known about it that he should be removed from his role immediately.
There's just no way that a true bishop in such close daily and regular contact with such people never saw or heard anything that would raise questions in his mind. He was there for almost a dozen years and never saw or heard anything? No reports, no accusations, nothing? His seminarians and priests are among the organizers of the weekly East Coast gay orgy circuit and he's completely clueless? That's about as believable as the USCCB wasn't a player in trying unsuccessfully to get our rally cancelled in Lori's new archdiocese of Baltimore.
What the bishops' behind-the-scenes involvement with trying to undercut our rally has done is twofold: First, it's given Church Militant a massive First Amendment win in the ability to use our free speech right to criticize them for their evil of homopredation and resulting cover-up. Second, it has now opened the door to the specific evils of Abp. Willaim Lori and his entire episcopal career of cover-up and cooperation with the homoheresy and its crushing of its victims.
But this is how this entire corrupt web works. Go along with the clerical sodomy, even participate in it, and you get promoted.
Lori's career has followed suit. He went from Bridgeport to Baltimore and is even chaplain for the Knights of Columbus. This, of course, begs the question: What exactly do the Knights of Columbus know about Lori, and is there anybody there all caught up in the episcopal web?
Lori is a cover-up artist who has successfully navigated the waters of this filthy swamp and would have been ecstatic to see the rally cancelled. He's also influential in the USCCB, given the fact that he is archbishop of the first diocese in America.
Catholics need to understand the web of relationships between all these men — their connections, crossovers, friends, who ordained them, where they went to seminary, etc.
A web may be intricate, and this one is, but it is comprehensible. You start with the assumption that a given bishop is corrupt, gay, a thief and a liar. From there, you just go backwards in his timeline, and if you run across other corrupt and lying thieves, then you know.
See you in Baltimore, USCCB — and especially you, William Lori, since you are playing host to this den of thieves.
We'll have much more on Lori in the coming days since it was his cooperation with the city that started all this.

TRANSCRIPT
As Church Militant has been pointing to for at least a decade, the poison flowing through the U.S. hierarchy is the sin of sodomy.
It's certainly not confined to the United States, but it's well-ensconced here in the American hierarchy. The sin of sodomy and its embrace by so many bishops is what is responsible for countless cases of victimization of the faithful.
Be it physical victims or spiritual or both, homosexual bishops and priests have wrecked the Church in the United States, and battling for their victims is the whole point of our rally in Baltimore in a few weeks, one way or the other.
Three years ago, one of the biggest liars in robes — Cdl. Donald Wuerl — insisted in an interview that this whole case of homosexual abuse by homosexual bishops and clergy was decades and decades ago. That was a lie, as is almost everything he says in this regard. Not only did he himself cover up sex abuse, which came out after that interview, but the implication of his words is that nothing like this was still going on, even if it did happen in the past.
Almost every bishop in the United States deftly avoids this awkward subject. It's awkward because too many of them are homosexual themselves or friends with bishops who are. It's noteworthy that they don't actually deny the problem of homosexuality in their ranks — they just don't ever acknowledge it.
And if or when it comes up, they quickly shift gears. But to try and imply this is all something from decades and decades ago is flat-out lying. If what the lying Wuerl said is true, then there shouldn't really be any headlines today about homosexual bishops and priests, right? But what about the recent case of Fr. James Cosgrove of Cleveland who got busted sexually harassing seminarians? That was just a couple of weeks ago.
Or what about the news earlier this week from the diocese of Scranton where Fr. Gregory Loughney, the first priest ordained by pro-homosexual bishop Joseph "Bambi" Bambera, was busted on camera trying to have sex with teenage boys in a sting? That was three days ago.
This past summer, the highest-ranking non-bishop in America, Msgr. Jeffrey Burrill, was busted for hundreds of homosexual hookups on the phone app Grindr. And less than a year ago, Fr. Peter Miqueli of New York stole tons of money for his male prostitute for years and Cdl. Dolan knew about it.
The recent scandal (of many) at the North American College in Rome, where homosexual harassment forced the resignation of the vice-rector, took place this past summer. Almost two years ago, the release of social media photos of two homosexual priests in Patterson, New Jersey, were protected by their then-bishop, the highly suspected homosexual Arthur Serratelli.
There was also the news from about a year and a half ago about the two priests from New England who left the priesthood to get civilly married to each other.
Then there were the seminarians driven out of seminary by Abp. William Lori of Baltimore (about whom we will have much more damning news shortly) after they reported sexual harassment by seminary officials in 2019. That was two years ago.
In 2019, there was the episode of two Chicago priests "clericalizing" each other in a car across the street from a Miami, Florida school playground. That was just two short years ago.
And let's not forget the case of the priest who left the priesthood to civilly marry his homosexual lover in 2016 and whose best man was — and still is — a priest in Rockville Centre, New York. The two became buddies as seminarians at the NAC just a few years ago.
The U.S. hierarchy is composed of homosexual liars and heterosexual avoiders of conflict. They destroy bodies and souls through their actions or their silence.
We'll see you all in Baltimore, bishops. Enough is Enough.

TRANSCRIPT
All over the country, bishops are closing down parishes. Too few Catholics. Too little faith. Too few priests. Practically every priest in America has multiple parishes he must attend to.
The giant contraction has begun, indeed, is well underway. It's been given the Madison Avenue moniker of "managing the decline, but no matter how much lipstick you put on this pig, it marks the most incredible wipeout of the Faith since the Protestant revolution of the 16th century."
And right now, there really is no end in sight. The Church in America is on the road to oblivion, save some small pockets of faithful here and there.
All that said, there is one particularly galling aspect of all this which lands squarely at the feet of the bishops. For these vindictive men, it's always someone else's fault. It's the blame game, specifically, bishops blaming everyone else (meaning priests and laity) and, of course, exempting themselves from any responsibility whatsoever.
For example, the archbishop of Dubuque, Iowa, Michael Jackels, recently issued a letter with the very strong suggestion that his taking an axe to parishes is essentially the fault of the laity. Speaking of any given parish, he says, "Parishioners have decided it should be closed."
That statement is as deceptive as the lies from Satan. Yes, it's true that the number of practicing Catholics is declining, actually in freefall. And yes it's true there are far fewer priests than are required. But what the caustic archbishop deliberately leaves out of his missive is the simple fact that both those facts are true directly because of the "gaying" of the priesthood for the past half-century.
Regarding the priest shortage, the question needs to be asked, "Why?" The answer is simple. It's because there are fewer priests because good men were turned away and active homosexuals were let in. That, in a nutshell, is the entire crux of the problem.
Over the decades, those homosexuals, many of them active, have ascended the heights of the hierarchy and wiped out the faith of those in the pews. They deliberately, little by little at first, chipped away at the moral teachings of the Church: in the confessional, in homilies, in schools, in seminaries, everywhere, like a swarm of termites eating away at the foundation until the collapse was imminent.
Along the way, the homosexuals in the clerical ranks prevented good men from getting in — and by good men, we mean masculine role models who displayed a passion for truth. These types of men tend to draw other good men into the same cause.
But the opposite is also true in that weak, emasculated, feminine men are a turn-off to masculine males, but they are a draw to those like them. Hence, the priesthood, as multiple secular media outlets have reported, has become a homosexual profession.
But it's not just the priesthood. It's also the episcopate.
About 15 years ago, former priest Richard Sipe, who helped the Boston Globe expose the scandal of sexual abuse of minors in 2002, compiled a list of numerous bishops he said were or are homosexual. Before presenting the list, he pointed out, "Each name has been closely vetted based on some—usually public—facts that can lead to a reasonable opinion.”
Of the 44 bishops or archbishops he named, 36 of them, he says, are homosexual. In the 15 years that have passed, it's clear that his list is pretty much accurate. And, most of the big-name cardinals in the Church in the United States are on his list. McCarrick, Wilton Gregory, Francis Spellman, Joseph Bernardin, John Quinn, Robert Brom, and on and on. In the time since he developed his list, many more names have emerged that should also be added, such as Michael Bransfield of Charleston-Wheeling, West Virginia, and John Nienstedt.
And, of course, these homosexuals make sure they are reproduced and maintain control by determining who gets accepted to seminary (especially at the North American College in Rome), who gets ordained and who gets recommended to become a bishop.
It's insidious and, frankly, demonic. Immoral men are getting into seminaries, where they develop romantic, sexual relationships and move into the priesthood and cover for each other. Those that become bishops are particularly careful because it's left to them to cover up for priests who get discovered, such as Bp. William Callahan of La Crosse, Wisconsin. But many suspect bishops engage in this evil. They protect their homosexual priests or at least do it for the benefit of other homosexual bishops.
In the case of Detroit's Abp. Allen Vigneron, for example, his homosexual-protection cloak is so big that it actually extends to non-clergy, such as his archdiocesan music director Joe Balistreri, who Church Militant busted on video, which forced Vigneron to pay him off to shut his mouth about all the homosexual stuff he knew about Vigneron's Detroit.
Just a few days ago, a homosexual priest from Scranton was busted for soliciting sex from a 15-year-old male, and that is pretty par for the course with this lot. The priest in question, Fr. Lockney, belongs to another suspected homosexual bishop, Joseph Bambera, who, according to some of his own priests, has the nickname of Bambi. For the record, Bambi is good friends with the poster boy for all things homosexual, Fr. James Martin.
In Saginaw, the notorious Fr. Robert DeLand, now out on parole, used his collar to ensnare young men just beyond the legal age but nevertheless groomed them during their teen years and attacked at the first opportunity. DeLand was protected by the bishop at the time, Joseph Cistone, who had a well-deserved reputation for midnight document shredding parties at the chancery when a cover-up was needed. He was so proficient at destroying evidence that other bishops called him "Bishop Shredder."
And so it goes that homosexual bishops, many active, covering for each other, lying to laity, stealing money for extravagant lifestyles, boyfriends or victims on the side, attacking anyone who accuses them, this is the state of the U.S. hierarchy. And, for the record, there is still almost no reporting from their lapdog media, who are paid to keep their mouths shut and go on the offensive against anyone who shines a light on the filth.
That's what you do when you are not independent media, like Church Militant. You cover for the guys who funnel you money. It's called enabling. And you sure don't sponsor rallies at the bishops' annual boondoggle in Baltimore to challenge their evil.
These homosexual bishops take your money and quietly settle lawsuits (if it ever gets that far) and keep their evil hidden from you. They shift assets around to hide them from victims of their molesting clergy, who they did everything in their power to protect.
Back in the early 2000s, when all their evil was splashed across every newspaper in the country for moving these homosexual child molesters around from parish to parish and even from diocese to diocese, they concocted the excuse, "But we didn't know. The psychiatrists were telling us they were cured. We relied on their advice."
Well, Church Militant has unearthed more than a dozen documents proving that was a lie. Bishops all over the country had been told differently for decades before the scandal broke on the Church in 2002. In 1947, a religious community called Servants of the Paraclete was founded to provide mental health treatment and other services for priests with drug and alcohol problems and also those preying on minors.
In letters obtained exclusively by Church Militant from the Superior, Fr. Gerald, he gives dire warnings to the bishops, just a few of which we quote here.
Speaking of homosexual abusers, he said, "We find it quite universal that they seem to be lacking in appreciation of the serious situation," and "Real conversions will be found to be extremely rare. Many bishops believe men are never free from the approximate danger once they have begun."
Both of those quotes are from a letter to the bishop of Reno in 1952. And then there is this letter from 1957 to another bishop that says, "These men, Your Excellency, are devils and the wrath of God is upon them, and if I were a bishop, I would tremble when I failed to report them to Rome for involuntary layiration. It is blasphemous to let them offer the Holy Sacrifice."
The Paracletes even detail in some of the letters from the 1950s that they hunted for a Caribbean Island to ship them all to. One letter was particularly stark where it said, "We are amazed to find how often a man would be behind bars if he were not a priest."
Fr. Gerald even wrote of the dilemma to the bishop of Manchester, New Hampshire, saying, "I trust that this does not seem too severe. But I have my own soul to save, and I do not dare recommend such men."
From another letter, this one from 1960 to a religious superior, he said, "Father, in God's Name, get this man laicized as quickly as possible. This extreme type will never be converted ... he will hurt the Church."
And within weeks of Pope Paul VI being elected, the Paracletes were granted a papal audience, specifically to talk about homosexuality in the priesthood. In a follow-up thank you letter, the Paracletes' Superior said, "Personally I am not sanguine of the return of [homosexual] priests to active duty."
In a 1964 letter to yet another bishop recounting his conversation with the pope, he said that when he was ordained 43 years earlier, homosexuality was a practically unknown rarity, but now it was "rampant." He called it "infectious" and even said, “We know of several seminaries that have been deeply infected."
He concludes his letter mentioning the "strange attitude of bishops who place these men after reactivation in assignments where they are most exposed to a recurrence of a vicious habit which the majority of experts consider practically incurable."
But just a few years later, bishops were admitting homosexual men to seminary, and a large number of those men made their way into the episcopate.
Not a few of them will be at the bishops' Baltimore meeting where a large number of Catholics will be present to say, "Enough is Enough."
The issue in the Church that is destroying everything is homosexuality in the clergy. But you aren't going to hear homosexual bishops admit that. All they do is lie, steal your money and keep promoting their own.
They know. They all know. This gay shutdown of the Church has got to stop.
Enough is Enough.
TRANSCRIPT
There is what can be described as a "false front" being presented today by the hierarchy. It's a pretended unity — a brotherhood, as it were — where bishops can never be seen to publicly disagree with one another. There cannot even be a whiff of division among them. That's the party line. And the cost to maintain that facade of unity is truth.
Too many of the bishops (and their minions in the Catholic establishment media) scoff at faithful Catholics demanding accountability from the hierarchy, that they do their jobs and teach the authentic Catholic faith.
And to that point, it's extremely important to realize just how well-insulated the bishops keep themselves from criticism. They have an entire web that keeps them protected from truth bombs.
For example (as you know), a couple of weeks back, we had our Bishops: Enough Is Enough prayer rally in Baltimore that the USCCB tried desperately to have canceled through their cooperation with the city. About 1,500 faithful Catholics were in attendance, and on stage were canceled priests, sex abuse victims of homopredators in collars and, interestingly, multiple secular media outfits. But unsurprisingly, not one single Catholic establishment media outlet (with one exception) covered the event or even mentioned it.
You know something is amiss when the Associated Press, Washington Post, New York Times and so forth are reporting on a gathering of faithful Catholics and no Catholic media does.
That deliberate ignoring of the rally did not go unnoticed by faithful Catholics, and it actually became a topic on Relevant Radio's Patrick Madrid Show a couple days ago. A fellow wrote in and excoriated Relevant for refusing to cover the rally in any form, as well as sidestepping the much-wider issue of the evil within the hierarchy.
Amidst all the sex abuse, prolific presence of homosexuality and its embrace by bishops, the financial theft of billions of dollars, the widespread departure from the teaching of the Faith and much much more, here was Patrick Madrid's condescending answer to the listener asking why not give some attention to the Baltimore rally: "How does that contribute to anything beneficial? ... What will be accomplished, other than making people more angry? ... Other than that, nothing. ... Channel all of your anger at prayer and good example. ... That's where you can really effect some change."
Now that's an extremely interesting response because not only is Madrid refusing to engage with the actual substance of the listener's concerns, but he also fails to mention one his motives for taking the "pray and shut up" approach is because of how tightly Relevant is bound to the bishops. Look at this from their website: They have more than 30 bishops on their episcopal advisory council, and some of them, frankly, are a little shocking, like Cdl. Joseph Tobin.
Tobin had an Italian active-homosexual underwear model living with him in his rectory a while back. When asked about it, the archdiocese of Newark responded that the Italian active-homosexual underwear model was just a student at Seton Hall, taking English as a second language. When asked further about why the Italian active-homosexual underwear model had to live in the rectory, and not with the rest of the students on campus, the Newark archdiocese refused comment.
Not too long after, the Italian active-homosexual underwear model returned to Italy.
But according to Madrid, no one in the Catholic world is supposed to question that or demand answers — ask for transparency.
The bishops themselves are the ones who are always saying, "Let's have transparency, schedule listening sessions, engage in dialogue." Maybe Madrid didn't get the meme that it's the bishops themselves who have publicly said this. We agree. We've been trying to speak with bishops for a dozen years, asking these questions, and — make sure you're sitting down — they never seem to want to talk or answer questions.
Why would that be, we wonder? What reason could they possibly have for not wanting to talk and engage, and "get the smell of the sheep" on them?
In fact, Madrid went further, employing the language of the Left: "You are not called by the Lord to attack the bishops of the Catholic Church. Whether they're doing bad things or not, that's not for you to do. ... The purification of the Church is going to come from the Lord, not from me and not from you."
Pay very close attention to the characterization. Attack? Really, Patrick? Calling on bishops to give up their evil is an attack Letting others know that who they are dealing with are shepherds in wolves' clothing — that's an attack? Well, if it's an attack, why did you claim that you yourself have done it over the years?
So which is it? When Church Militant says something about bishops and their evil, it's an attack. But when Patrick says something, it's acceptable. That's ludicrous. What exactly did Patrick say about the bishops that he's now grandstanding on?
Exactly what is it he is so free to say that would be meaningful with 30-plus bishops on the advisory council? Does he really expect anyone to believe that he's going to be champion for authentic Catholicism, in the face of hierarchical malevolence, when 30 of them are looking over his shoulder?
As Biden would say, come on, man!
And speaking of Biden, did Madrid have any response to the news that broke last October — that Relevant Radio had accepted money from the Biden campaign to run his ads on Relevant?
That would be the same Biden who sent his solicitor general scurrying to the Supreme Court last week to argue in favor of Roe v. Wade not being overturned and has promised that if it is, he and his fellow Democrats (peppered with phony Catholics) should pass a federal law enshrining the child killing. That Biden?
Relevant Radio got blasted by its listeners for that — it had to call an emergency meeting on the weekend and change how they do business so they could turn down the political ads. But that was after the fact of accepting the money and the resulting blowback.
Is that out of bounds also, Patrick? Does reporting that qualify as an attack?
Here's the problem with defending the bishops when you are part of the establishment — the episcopal network. Not only is it hypocritical because you are parasitic (making your living off them or their approval), but you also enable the evil to continue.
Because so many in the Catholic media world live and die on the adage that they should never bite the hand that feeds them, they constrict themselves, refusing or unable to talk about the actual malice and evil of so much going on in the Church.
What practical effect does this have — day to day?
Well, first, by ignoring the evil, they perpetuate injustice on the victims of the evil. Those victims are myriad. Not just sex abuse victims, but a vast multitude of spiritual victims — people who have lost their faith because they were never told the richness of the Faith, because the teachers were (and are) wicked or cowardly men.
Another practical effect: Their silence enables wicked and cowardly bishops to continue in their rot.
To remain silent in the face of monstrous spiritual evil — do Madrid and the entire cohort of the establishment really expect us to believe that our only duty is to shut up and obey? Go participate in Church bake sales and be friendly to each other?
For the record, that's what has been going on for decades and how things got to the place they now stand. For all those media types out there who sponge off the establishment, ask yourselves this: Where does Church Militant get the information we air?
As a bishop in Baltimore asked me that very question, here was the answer. We get it from people in the Church who know: priests, seminarians, canon lawyers, chancery workers and so forth.
Every now and then, something we report is verified by secular media (like McCarrick, for example).
So the next question should be, why do these sources from within the Church come to Church Militant and not the Catholic establishment media? That answer should be pretty obvious. Because the Catholic establishment media are owned — lock, stock and barrel — by the bishops.
Victims — sex abuse, mothers, grandmothers, seminarians, canceled priests, those who had lost their faith and returned because of Church Militant's bluntness — come to us because whenever they approached the institution, they were dumped on. Why? Because the institution exists to protect itself, to advance its own machinery.
Part of that strategy involves bishops never showing any public disagreement, pretending there is some unity that exists there, within their own ranks.
Some of those bishops don't even believe the Catholic faith. How on God's green earth can there be any unity? What exactly are they unified around?
But never let it be said that a parasitic gang of "professional Catholics" (to use Pope Benedict's depiction) ever did anything to crack that perception of unity!
It's a lie — a bald-faced lie — that the bishops are unified. They are not. Some are unified around Our Lord and the authentic Faith, even if some of them are malformed from their days in seminary in the wake of the sexual revolution and the resulting influence of communism. But most are not unified around Christ and His Church. They are unified around the institution and its priorities. They revolve themselves around multiple things that have nothing to do with the affairs of Heaven and salvation.
Yet many of them are content to let little evangelical efforts sit in the sidelines, and give them pats on the head and allow them to sponge off the establishment because they are useful idiots to them.
As long as these outfits are dependent on the bishops, the bishops know they will provide cover for them. That's why none of these outfits ever would dream of having Church Militant on to talk about any of the evil we talk about and that they know is true.
If these guys think it's enough to just talk about the Faith (while deliberately ignoring the destruction of the Faith and belief that goes on behind the scenes), well, good for them.
Church Militant isn't that foolish. It's ugly; it's sordid, but it's real. And until you man up and talk about it, confront it and start working to end it, don't say, "Oh, just leave it Jesus' hands." If Our Lord did not want Catholics to be involved in the works of justice and truth, then why hasn't He cleaned it all up already?
TRANSCRIPT
Fallout continues from the U.S. bishops' conference meeting last week as the disaster that is the U.S. hierarchy comes into sharper focus for everyday-Catholic pew-sitters.
The U.S. hierarchy, as a body, is theologically malformed.
That should not be a shock, considering when almost all these men were in seminary; the tumultuous years from the 1970s through 2000 were nothing short of a disaster. The Faith was not being properly transmitted, the Church's devotional and liturgical life was being gutted, extremely questionable men — child molesters and active homosexuals — were flooding into the seminary and working their way up to the episcopate.
Catholic identity was in the process of being lost, and we don't mean just cultural.
Catholic theological identity was vanishing, and today it has almost entirely evaporated, and that is most stunningly clear among the hierarchy. Church Militant spoke to multiple bishops at the conference and asked the pressing questions about sacrilegious Holy Communion and cozying up to the pro-sodomy camp in the Church.
Especially in response to the sodomy question, the common answer we kept hearing was we 'have to consider that we have many sheep, we can't alienate them in the process.' Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to big tent Catholicism, where there is room for everyone — those who believe the teachings, but most importantly, those who reject them.
Nothing remains neutral. Nature abhors a vacuum. When an identity is lost, it is replaced with another. The idea that the bishops are actually open about and defending the insane idea that the Deposit of Faith cannot be stressed or taught because some people might leave the Church is beyond stupid.
First, people have left the Faith by the tens of millions since the time these men were in seminary — tens of millions. Many of those who do remain treat the Church's teachings like a Sunday brunch buffet.
Second, the bishops seem to have forgotten that the Son of God Himself did not soften what He said to spare people's feelings and keep them "in the fold." He let them walk. That was specifically about the Eucharist. Are you listening, bishops?
The reason Church Militant spends so much time focusing on culture as well as the Church is because they are both so inextricably intertwined. There really isn't a way to untangle them. For example, in economic terms, the middle class is being wiped out, and while Biden didn't start that process, he is certainly accelerating it. There is a "middle class" in the Church as well — those of simple faith who are rocked by every one of these scandals, these demonstrations of lack of faith, lack of clarity — all of it.
It all has the effect of destroying the Faith, whittling away generation by generation until the number who actually believe are disregarded by bishops in favor of those who reject the Faith.
Somewhere in their world, they have constructed the convenient view that they can keep silent about the truth, pretending it's a genius strategy to get the nonbelievers to come into the Church. Philosophical problem here, Your Excellencies — since you stand for nothing, preach nothing, insist on nothing, what exactly would be attractive to anyone to come into?
You can't even keep those you have from leaving. What are you thinking is so cool that new members are going to want to join?
The Church is collapsing, and the bishops don't seem to understand what is meant by "Church." Too many of them are actually attacking the middle class of the Church while others are naïvely believing that they are shepherds to the "lost sheep."
When I asked one bishop, point-blank, why he disregards the faithful and never says anything about the social evils practiced by those who claim to be Catholic but couldn't be any less Catholic, his response was, "Michael, I have many sheep."
Ridiculous — the sheep don't recognize you. They reject you. That isn't a "lost sheep." That's an enemy of the truth. And however you want to handle those cases, you don't get to do it over the bones of those who believe. Middle-class Catholics are constantly steamrolled, plowed under, kicked to the curb, lied to, deceived, you name it.
It's not that the bishops are cleverly trying to get the "lost sheep" back in the fold. The lost sheep don't want to be in the fold.
The reality is the bishops don't have the spine, knowledge or formation (and in some cases, desire or faith) to teach the actual Faith.
Their big tent Catholicism is a farce, meant to provide an excuse for the bishops' abject failure. They don't understand sacrilege, they don't understand the Deposit of Faith, they don't even understand that in order to be saved, you must die in a state of sanctifying grace.
Make the tent big enough, and far from gathering in everyone, what you actually gather underneath the canopy is error and evil. It's called compromise.
Michael Voris speaks at Church Militant's "Bishops: Enough Is Enough" rally in Baltimore on Nov. 16, 2021.
TRANSCRIPT
I'm Michael Voris coming to you from Tucson, Arizona, where once again the controversy surrounding the stolen 2020 election is front and center.
Republicans are gathering here to announce plans for a legislative hearing to demand answers about tens of thousands of votes they say are not valid. That many votes would alter the outcome of the race here in Arizona, raising the serious prospect that the Republican-controlled legislature could decertify its 11 electoral votes that went to Joe Biden helping him secure the electoral college majority.
The vexing question of whether Joe Biden actually won continues to haunt the American electorate, of which a full one-third insist he cheated. Even more believe that while actual cheating per se did not occur, they don't sufficiently trust the system to produce accurate results in close races.
Just one of those is bad on its own, but, taken together, they produce a staggering lack of confidence in election results and, by extension, the government itself and whatever authority it tries to exert.
For example: Various research indicates that those who doubt (or refuse to believe) the 2020 election outcome also doubt or refuse to believe the entire COVID narrative and the constant push by government officials to mandate masks and jabs and "vaxports" and on and on. Likewise, they see themselves being railroaded by media who keep insisting claims that the election was stolen are "false" and "debunked" — while, in fact, the claims have never been "debunked" by anyone other than them. And by debunked we mean simply refused to be considered and reviewed.
On the question of debunking: Who precisely would be the expert or institution that would have the authority to decide and declare the claims are false and, therefore, debunked?
Certainly not the media who spent four years spreading outright lies about Trump (Russia and Ukraine come immediately to mind) and, even after Trump, are now pushing a phony "insurrection" claim about Jan 6.
The media, as their backup for claims of stolen election charges being debunked, keep pointing to the string of losses Trump suffered in the courts, wrongly portraying it as the courts heard the evidence and decided the election was fair and Trump lost.
But while the media have dubbed the stolen election claim "The Big Lie," what's actually the big lie is that the claim has been debunked. It has never been debunked, and the media's relentless claims about it don't make their claims true — it just makes them constant and annoying.
No court ever actually heard the actual evidence in the case. They simply ruled Trump (or voters or states or members of Congress or anyone living and breathing) didn't have standing, so judge after judge just threw the cases out of court — including the Supreme Court.
So it's not possible to make the claim that Trump or his surrogates around the country lost in court. They never got into court in any meaningful way.
And moreover, the courts refusing to man up and actually consider the evidence, refusing to settle the matter, has now left the matter open to nonstop speculation and action on the part of those voters who feel they were cheated — and they are legion in that belief.
So events like what's unfolding here in Arizona are now assuming a kind of commonplace foothold among voters and Republicans.
In fact, the entire election theft may have backfired on the Democrats despite the reality that Joe Biden is in the White House (likely without actually having won the electoral college vote), and here's why: The sense of theft and being cheated has so ticked off enormous numbers of people that they have now become activists on all levels of the political process.
For example, in Virginia's recent gubernatorial race between Democratic hack, phony Catholic, and child-killer Terry McAuliffe and newcomer Republican Glenn Youngkin, a veritable army of Republican poll watchers fanned out across the state and manned hundreds of early voting locations, Election Day precincts, drop-off ballot mailboxes and so forth (3,500, in fact), causing the Loudon County general registrar to tell The Washington Post she'd never seen anything like it, especially for a midterm election.
But that's just a smidgeon of what ticked off Republicans are doing around the nation. In place after place, but especially in battleground states where they control the state legislatures, Republican activists are mobilizing on different fronts. Some are stepping up and making sure that "RINOs" in their statehouses — now understood as those who did not back challenging the 2020 results — are primaried and removed.
Likewise with congressional candidates running for reelection — and as Trump recently said of Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger: "Two down, eight to go" (referring to the total of 10 who refused to back him and went along with the Nancy Pelosi narrative).
While the congressional kerfuffle is getting the headlines in the national press, what's really going on, as far as the more effective strategy, is happening away from those national headlines, in places like this here in Pima County, Arizona.
As the saying goes, all politics is local, and in state after state where they control the legislature (and even the governor's mansion) Republicans are ensuring (through various processes as well as the upcoming elections) that the means by which the Democrats cheated in 2020 are sealed off forever.
Republican election officials were asleep at the switch in the run-up to 2020, allowing the Democrats to ignore laws and rules left and right.
In some places (like Georgia), a Republican secretary of state actually helped set the table for widespread fraud (by overstepping his authority and striking a deal with state Democrats — led by Stacey Abrams — to usher in all manner of chicanery, which paid off in Fulton County on election night, delivering the state to Biden). Raffensperger has announced his reelection campaign for the coming year, but hardly a soul believes he's going to survive the primary.
First, the state legislature punished him for his going along with the Democrats by stripping him of his power to oversee elections moving forward.
Second, Trump has endorsed Georgia congressman Jody Hice to defeat him in the primary, virtually ensuring he will have nothing official to do with the 2024 presidential race in the peach state. Brad's days are numbered.
And so are the days when the machinery of cheating can be so easily exploited — at least if the massive groundswell of channeled anger has anything to say about it.
From the redrawing of congressional districts in Republican-controlled states to appointing and electing state officials keen to prevent anything like 2020 from happening again to the banishment of as many RINOs as possible to armies of poll watchers, the Republican rank and file has become like a sleeping giant that has been awakened and is roaring mad.
Events like this one here in Arizona are designed (in part) not only to get to claims of fraud and errors but also to keep the fires stoked. It's been more than a year since the great election theft, which means the next election (the midterms) is less than a year away.
The midterms are the necessary stepping-stone for political conservatives and Republicans to prevent 2020 from being repeated in 2024.
The midterms are being viewed, and the strategy is being developed and implemented, to lock down the issue of election integrity by scoring big wins across multiple states. The conservative winners in the governors' races like in Michigan and Pennsylvania and various secretary-of-state battles like in Georgia, would then go on to preside over the 2024 election and prevent a second theft.
How effective the plan will be is, of course, unknown; but as of today, the anti-RINO, pro-Trump, we're-mad-as-hell crowd has all the momentum. Biden's pathetic first year, a crashing economy, polling numbers in the toilet, non-stop mockery summed up in the "let's go Brandon," all of it, frankly, is scaring the hell out of Democrats.
What went largely unreported in the wake of the 2020 election theft was that the much-talked-about blue wave not only did not materialize, but, actually, a smaller red wave emerged. And that red wave shows no signs of receding. What many people don't realize is that in Virginia, with all the noise about Youngkin beating McAuliffe, the GOP also captured the lieutenant governorship and the state attorney generalship and recaptured the statehouse as well as coming within one seat of gaining control of the state Senate as well.
In short, in one night, Democrats went from total control of the state to hanging on for dear life — and that's a full year after 2020. Republicans are energized, and Democrats are sick over Biden.
It's that red wave, which flipped some states from Democratic to Republican and greatly narrowed the Democrats' congressional influence, that is now providing the leverage to move forward with this national recapturing of the entire integrity issue.
The Republican Party is going through a reordering — some might call it a purge — and it's happening on a grand scale.
The end goal is the recapturing of the White House in 2024, but, in the process, large swaths of the country are also being refashioned. A few years from now it may turn out that, in hindsight, the worst thing the Democrats could have done was steal that 2020 election. It's become the fuel for a large new movement of political activists and candidates that no one really saw coming and that shows no signs of going away.
