Ashes Fall Down

No Pusillanimity Here

"Peace is the tranquility of order." That's damn straight, St. Augustine! And, a good God wills that we live in the happiness and mirth of that order, one in which we are called to make manifest the Kingdom of God by loving and cooperating with our neighbor. It is not primitive man, only in the state of nature, that we attain such natural heights, but in true civilization which is nothing but approved and binding adherence to Revelation and Tradition. Be gone--again!--thievery, betrayal, mendacity, avarice, pride and pusillanimity... Return--again!--cooperation, friendship, honesty, temperance, humility and magnanimity... Oak Parkers walk the tightrope of being optically inclusive, really exclusive and always "democratic". *The guys preview next week's episode which will feature a Darknotes take on the boardgame, MONOPOLY. www.hoth2ohistory.com @HotH2OHistory @chuckwest20 BUY TRIDENTINE BEER--www.tridentinebrewing.com.

The Free Will Zone

Mayor Zohran found time away from his busy schedule of talking tough publicly against Netanyahu and the Israel cabal but then kissing their local asses behind-the-scenes, so as to promote his counter-reality grocery stores. They promise to be the DMV and post office of food conveyance. Socialism does indeed suck. The U.S. Post Office announces a running deficit that exceeds the going rate of regime change wars, but no one has the gumption to dismantle the boondoggle. St. Ephrem the Syrian reminds us of the centrality of a well-informed, grace-directed and nonetheless FREE will. Progressives and elites recoil at the notion because, in the end, their worldview is driven by their megalomania and disgust for the choices of those "below" them. Oak Parker debate over just how much the government should control who gets to live next to them while ensuring that Oak Park remains the thinly-veiled, exclusive, old-money country club it has always been. www.hoth2ohistory.com @HotH2OHistory @chuckwest20 BUY TRIDENTINE BEER: www.tridentinebrewing.com.

Ashes Fall Down

The State continues to play the roles of arsonist and firefighter--albeit a poor one--up in Canada to the environmental and respiratory health of those of us to the South. What would anarcho-capitalists do to resolve the problem of air pollution, in this case coming in the form of wildfire smog? Turns out, the great Murray Rothbard penned an essay on just this topic. Privatization and incentive would likely eliminate the conditions by which these destructive conflagrations rage. Oak Park certainly has no shortage of flamers, and one was sent as a reporter to spy in on the Society of Saint Pius X church there. Errors abound from there. An Indian Oak Parker is appreciative that, after an injurious fall, paramedics did not take him to West Suburban Hospital because no one would have been there to give him treatment. www.hoth2ohistory.com @HotH2OHistory @chuckwest20 BUY TRIDENTINE BEER: www.tridentinebrewing.com BUY GARY TRIDENTINE BEER: www.buymeacoffee.com/garyrichied PAX!

The BIG Fumble

In the fullness of time in history, wherein so many nefarious forces have revealed their methods and their claws all at once--from socialism, COVID, Epstein, globalists, war-mongers, Zionists, and the rest of the cabals--the Catholic Church had the opportunity of opportunities to promote and defend Divine Majesty and human dignity in light of the Incarnation. And, she totally dropped the ball. At least, the ape church with its whorish antipopes and their lackeys did. The webbed institutions of official church continue limping on, leading sheep away from the salvific Faith and into the laps of wolves. Do graced inquiring minds and potential converts possess both the imagination and courage to take one more leap; namely that the so-called visible, official apparatus is not where the Holy Ghost resides? Do they have the fortitude to be truly Catholic? Meanwhile, the CCP in China is walking and chewing gum at the same time. Chinese patriotic catholics do not get excommunicated for elevating their own, commie-approved bishops, and Beijing encourages explosive innovations which provide solace in the mist (pun intended) of woe (and heat). Oak Parkers learn their own brand of austerity from yet more outside advisors while still ensuring the bankruptcy of the village's future generations who still prefer to ride their bikes and scooters on crumbling sidewalks. www.hoth2ohistory.com @HotH2OHistory @chuckwest20 BUY TRIDENTINE BEER: www.tridentinebrewing.com BUY GARY TRIDENTINE BEER: www.buymeacoffee.com/garyrichied PAX!

Here's to Another 250

As "Merica" is about to celebrate its 250th anniversary, Gary goes under the knife and for the life of him cannot find any meaning behind the semiquincentennial. Murray Rothbard at 100 bears much more meaning as it was dear Murray who demystified economics and elaborated on the legacy of the Austrian school with such brilliance that he rendered it the unassailable system that it runs as today. Turns out God created man to be free, to worship Him and to love his neighbor as himself. A State is not needed to enforce any of that. The Society of St. Pius X now represents the visible, actual Catholic Church since Rome has materially and formally apostatized. Ape church is the body of modernists who practice the synthesis of all heresies and promote all of the most egregiously counter-Traditional interpretations of an obviously failed council and elevated sodomitical-apostates to the most important offices (including the See of Peter) in the Church, but the faithful should still obey such infidel-Judases because they are visibly exercising their offices. Right... Whew! It's nice to get that off my chest. Sts. Athanasius, Leo I, Joan of Arc, Vincent Ferrer, and all faithful renegades--pray for us! Oak Park teen kills a man in Grant Park. Oak Parkers want to provide snacks for the underprivileged and all those who just skipped breakfast... www.hoth2ohistory.com @HotH2OHistory @chuckwest20 BUY TRIDENTINE BEER: www.tridentinebrewing.com.
