How I Will Win This Election

October 22, 2024

Navigating between two evils
I HAVE no campaign staff or advertising budget. You won’t see my name on lawn signs or my annoying face in your mailbox. I have no big donors — or even small donors. I am bought and paid for by no one.
I have made you no promises and given you no plans. I haven’t offered you cheap prescription drugs like a petty salesman or flashed false smiles from any screen or stage. I’m a woman who doesn’t even believe in women presidents — that’s how bad my sales pitch is.
Still I am confident, despite these obvious handicaps, that this complete and utter nobody will win the presidential election on November 5th. I will wake up the next morning with the heady feeling of victory and new energy to get to work.
What will I gain? What will I win? My soul, that’s what I will win — and there’s nothing better than that. Yes, victory will be mine!
By voting for neither of these selected-and-bought candidates who have zero accountability and are both moral degenerates in a system that is now fundamentally unlawful and evil, I will survive this election season with my integrity intact. Victory will be mine in a world of disappointed losers who have taken the bait and bought into the scam. It is only a matter of time before they realize all they have lost.
This country’s biggest problems are moral. Every person who refuses to sell his soul to the scam of mass democracy is a stone in the foundation of a better building. I want to be one of those stones. I want our descendants to live in that building, imperfect though it will be.
I haven’t traveled through the stormy waters of Scylla and Charybdis this election season, tempted by the false songs of the “lesser of two evils.”
Donald Trump broke his previous campaign promises. He has vowed to keep our borders open to mass, “legal” immigration when there is no need for it and no popular support for it. He violated our so-called constitutional rights during his first term by enforcing the Covid operation, and is responsible for murderous medical harm to many thousands, as well as the ruin of countless businesses. He boldly faked at least one assassination attempt and has shown his complete facility in the art of lying. He is an actor first and foremost. To quote the star of The Apprentice, You’re fired! Where is the accountability? There is none. Mr. French Fry can promise anything and it doesn’t matter. Voters will forgive him because they are incapable of placing their worldly hopes anywhere else. They have no imagination for a better way. They have the mentality of slaves.
Just two weeks ago, Trump paid his respects at the tomb of Rabbi Menachem Schneerson, a man who was very open in his lifetime about his hatred of non-Jєωs. Schneerson was a first-class bully dressed up as a religious figure. Trump supports his legacy and the more than $3 billion we send to the genocidal state of Israel every year and will be more than happy to send our mercenary troops into another conflict against the enemies of international Jєωry. Our military sadly does not represent the will of the American people anymore.
As for Kamala — well, she’s not even on my radar. She’s for people, blind and naive they may be, for whom politics are a religion and for whom every solution to every problem is more government. Their dreams always end up empowering the few and bankrupting the many. Utopianism and its search for perfection bring chaos and suffering.
I have not been tempted by those who say that as a Catholic I am morally obligated to give my assent to an evil system. Those theologians who argued that we must vote even if we are dissatisfied with the options were not even remotely speaking about the sort of election system in which we now live, based as it is on the arts of mass manipulation and candidates selected by the biggest donors, not the people.
Call it what you like, but this is not representative democracy.
For support, I quote the great abbot Dom Prosper Guéranger from his essay on the Twenty-Second Sunday after Pentecost, which was observed this week. He discusses Jesus’s words, “Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s; and to God the things that are God’s.”
So long as those rulers comply with the compact, or do not turn to the ruin of their people the power they received for its well-being, so long their right to the obedience of their subjects is the right of God Himself, whether they exercise their authority in exacting the subsidies needed for government; or in passing laws, which, for the general good of the people, restrain the liberty otherwise theirs by natural right; or again by bidding their soldiers defend their country at the risk of life.
….
When God is not with Him who governs, the power he exercises is nothing better than brute force. The sovereign, or the parliament, that pretends to govern a country in opposition to the laws of God, has no right to aught but revolt and contempt from every upright man; to give the sacred name of law to tyrannical enactments of that kind is a profanation unworthy, not only of a Christian, but of every man who is not a slave. [bold added]
We are slaves to a facade of democracy. As a patriot, I mustn’t assent. By unjust wars, predatory taxation, the violation of our borders, the shredding of constitutional law, the incessant degrading of the descendants of those who built this country, the continual plundering of the economy by centralized banking and the ongoing war against the family, our government has violated God’s laws. Our government is based now on thievery and the corruption of the people. It’s not what the Founders had in mind when they spoke of liberty.
It is my duty to resist non-violently. Every person who resists is a stone in the foundation of a new structure. Every person who resists has energy to give to the laying of the mental and spiritual groundwork for what’s next. Our energies are finite. I will not be wasting mine on election day.
I don’t resent those who will vote. To resent them would be to give my emotions to this election, and I’m not gong to stoop to that. Besides, I understand the temptation.
I am just saddened that they too won’t wake up on November 6th in victory and peace — as I know I will. My prayers for my country will be all the more meaningful. I know with God anything is possible — even a better way for America.
Our first duty now is to have the courage and patriotism to imagine, to yearn for and to pray for something better than this.

Applause, applause, for this!
I have been going a little crazy over this whole thing myself, what with semi-trad and some Sede armchair theologians all over the net (well-meaning as they may be) telling Traditionalists they must vote for the “lesser of two evils” OR ELSE! According to many of them, to abstain from voting for the little-bit-of-abortion-is-better-than-a-lot, throwing-inconvenient-wives-under-the-bus, take-the-shot!! candidate places you securely in the clutches of Satan.
Phooey! Evil is evil and I believe, according to the Church, that choosing the lesser of two moral evils holds only regarding private, personal issues. Our whole political system has given itself over to evil, so it is only a question of not whether, but how quickly any office holder will enact or ignore future evils. And worse evils will come!
I voted by writing-in several times before (though I knew my choice never stood a chance of winning the presidency). I stopped. Writing in is a statement in an echo chamber that will never be heard, the way things are set up. So … I will sleep easy, too, knowing I have not participated in this satanic charade.

Glad you will win too!
Those making these theological arguments are simply not willing to admit how bad things are. If you had to choose between Lenin and Trotsky, would you be sinning by not voting for one? Of course not. That’s how bad things are. I know there are many decent people not ready to come to these conclusions, but I believe their patriotism is being abused with clever sophistries. If I were unjustly jailed and the prison warden came to me and said I should join in the vote for a new warden, would I be sinning by refusing to vote? Of course not. This system, as I said, is based on blatant thievery, anti-family policies, unjust wars, mass deception and calculated corruption of the people.
There is no way things will get better unless we first go through the stage of refusing to participate in the existing charade and refusing to give our loyalty to degenerates who are liars and traitors to this country.
There’s one thing they want even more than your vote — and that’s your integrity.
 

This is Catholic Resistance.

Just because it doesn't come all wrapped up in some perfectly pre-conceived package and delivery you spurn it. If the early Christians thought like this they would have rejected Constantine the Great because he was a pagan and wasn't baptized yet and they'd still be being fed to the lions and in the catacombs.

Agree.  Too many Trads are perfectionists.  And they don’t see how this is extremist.  They don’t recognize the fault in the thinking.

The perfect is the enemy of the good.

The picture is the most accurate of the entire thing (dripping in false humility, especially the cherry picked praise comments included in the piece).

Alone in a boat amongst a storm when others have offered you a lifeline and you spurn it out of a false humility and false purity.

Like that saying, where one is stranded in a life raft and someone comes along and asks if they need help and they say "no thanks, God will save me" then by the 3rd time they drown and ask God why He didn't save them, which God replies, "I sent three rescue boats."

The truth is that nobody will be good enough for such people and they will always look for how it can't and won't work. To just give up is the easy thing to do, no risk involved in that and when the inevitable conclusion arrives you can say "see, I was right"... right in misery and destruction.

"For the sake of His sorrowful passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world."

"Our Lady of Victory, Ark of the New Covenant, Co-Redemptrix, Mediatrix and Advocate, Pray for us."

She didn't advocate for this, it was also before Vatican II so cannot be read in that context, better her hand than to just let the host fall onto the ground and she was troubled by it too thus the consolation and for that you condemn her?

"For the sake of His sorrowful passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world."

God Bless

• Pope Pius XII placed Sister Faustina's writings on the Index Librorum Prohibitorum (Index of Forbidden Books), deeming their content potentially misleading for the faithful.
• Cardinal Ottaviani, head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, upheld the suppression, emphasizing that the distribution of materials promoting the Divine Mercy as proposed by Sister Faustina should be forbidden.

• Advocacy for Communion in the Hand: Her writings include instances that suggest a departure from traditional Eucharistic reverence, a practice condemned by the pre-Vatican II Church.
• Claims of Personal Exaltation:
  
  
  • Page 168: "From now on, do not fear God's judgment, for you will not be judged." — Contradicts the Church's teaching on the Last Judgment.
  • Page 288: "That is why I am uniting myself with you so intimately as with no other creature." — Implies a union surpassing that of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which is theologically unsound.
  • Page 583: Faustina recounts Jesus telling her, "You are that saint," in response to her desire for a saint in her congregation — Suggesting self-exaltation.
    

• Deviation from Traditional Devotions: The Divine Mercy devotion diverts focus from the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Dom Prosper Guéranger, in The Liturgical Year, emphasized that new devotions should not overshadow established feasts, particularly the Octave of Easter.
• Church's Warning Against Novel Devotions: Pope Pius XI cautioned against "new forms of worship and devotion" that lead to confusion (May 26, 1937; AAS 29-304).

You really think you are participating in "good"? Then you are in the right place, I guess
