The day begins with gray and rain – all is well moistened.  Somewhere near Noah is building an Ark.  We are well beyond 40 days and 40 nights.  Gregorian Chants play.  Adorate Deum warms the heart and strengthens all within.

… the philosophy of meaninglessness was essentially an instrument of liberation from a certain system of morality … We objected to morality because it interfered with our sexual freedom … this system that … embodied … meaning … Christian meaning …

Aldous Huxley, in Ends and Means

No one … can terrorize a whole nation unless we are all his (or her) accomplices.

Edward R. Morrow (Commenting on McCarthyism in the 1950’s)

Today the “sexual revolution” has met McCarthyism as was inevitable all along.  “Inevitable?” you ask.  Yes.

Huxley tells of the destruction of meaning and resentment of Christianity and Western Civilization, of the implicit hostility embodied in Marxist “liberation” – the selfish deconstructing quest to move from God-and God-fullness to Godlessness – from meaning to meaninglessness.

The product of the “sexual revolution” is clear.  Truth is a victim, justice too.  Add family, marriage and Holy Matrimony, pregnancy, motherhood, gender, fathers being fathers, the unborn, men qua men (who must now be the villains in all cases – convenient or otherwise) and, of course, “morality.”  ‘Tis the Stalinist way.  Yet, ’tis the way of Joe McCarthy, too – guilt without fact, guilt by association – now as bad as it was then, and still is now – guilt by reason of maleness.

Look now and see the McCarthy-Left and its female captains of varied sexual self-demonination.  Like Tailgunner-Joe (but without the military service) they turn law and justice on its head – all in the name of personal desire and political objective.  Look, too, at the prep-school conspirators in the government – so sure their way is right and your way is wrong.  And think, too, of those in religious authority who cover-up rather than convert – electing convenience and corruption over Canons.

‘Tis a dizzy time with a cast of characters like none as much as those in the Coen Brothers’ Big Lebowski.  Yes, that odd and yet that so revealing of a place and a way in which sanity departs leaving the weird in stumbling and incoherent bloom.

In all this we meet newsman Morrow today, and the question remains –  can terror reign without accomplices?

Rather puts the media (digital, televised, broadcast, print), entertainers, bureaucracies and bureaucrats, legislatures, academics, ideologues, women, and in-the-tank think-tankers, and those who profess to believe in the dock – and so be it.

Shalom.
