2012-Jun-24JEMAIL: Apoldo, Lou (MC1963) thinks a shutdown plays into the Cloward-Piven approachfrom: Apoldo, Lou (MC1963)to: Distribute_Jasper_Jottings-owner date: Sun, Jun 24, 2012 at 1:31 AM subject: Re: [Distribute_Jasper_Jottings] JASPER JOTTINGS Week 26 - 2012 June 24 In response to your End Note that the Church should consider closing down all Catholic hospitals, schools, etc. providing public services beyond those facilities involved directly with actually running a church for worship purposes, this would be exactly the Cloward-Piven approach that the Obama Regime is using to create chaos by overwhelming our current government systems. Then when chaos prevails, the Obama Regime will be less constrained to move in and assume powers well beyond the limits imposed on them by the Constitution. Just the closing of all Catholic hospitals and parochial schools would put such a burden on other public and private hospitals and schools, that these remaining systems would not be able to even begin to handle the patient and pupil overload, which would create a crisis that the oligarchs and czars in the Obama Regime would not be able to pass up. They would probably use the ensuing chaos to mandate Obamacare rules for hospitals, and outlaw all private schools in favor of universal gooferment schools. Thus, if the Church intends to consider closing Catholic hospitals and schools to apply pressure to the Obama Regime in reaction to their serious incursion into our First Amendment religious freedom, the plan may backfire and instead give the Obama Regime an opportunity to usurp even more of our God-given freedoms that have been insured to us under our Constitution. Perhaps it would be better to have Catholic institutions just engage in delaying lawsuits and non-violent public disobedience of the illegal Obama Regime rules to violate our religious freedom, until next year when President Romney and a new Republican Congress can rescind these over-reaching Obama Regime's unconstitutional rules. Lou Apoldo BCE '63 # - # - # - # - # CIC respectfully responds: We learned from the 1960's Civil Rights movement — I actually wanted to go when I was in High School, but my Mom said "Adbsolutely Not". — that until the tyrants are directly confronted, nothing stops them. We only HAVE the God-given RIGHTS we are willing to FIGHT for. (Yes, and that implies die for.) Lawsuits? In Gooferment courts? Yeah, right. Respectfully petitioning the "King" for our rights reminds me of the Mel Gibson movie "The Patriot". And we all know how that works out. Dead children. Dead civilians. Dead soldiers. A lot of dying. I'm reminded of the Winston Churchill quote. “…if you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.” -Churchill, The Second World War, vol. 1, The Gathering Storm (London: Cassell, 1948, 272, on the British guarantee to Poland in Spring 1939. And, the Solzhenitsyn one: "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? . . ." --- Alexander Solzhenitsyn I would assert that the time for polite objection has passed. We're "slaves" in so many dimensions — financially, politically, educationally, morally, and spiritually. And, the children are being sold into future economic slavery. Hard times are coming. Time to up the ante! imho. # - # - # - # - # 2012-Jun-24 @ 04:09 |

DU initially agreed to an election but then hired a new lawyer and reversed course and made church-state arguments similar to those made by alma mater a year (or two?) ago. As I recall we had some good discussion of the issue in JJ for few weeks. Do you or any other JJ readers/contributors know what ultimately happened with Manhattan's adjuncts. Was alma mater's appeal successful? Was there an election? Are we still waiting for a decision? At what level? Thanks to you or any who are able to enlighten me.

2012-Jun-30ENDNOTE: Heroic defense by a young man demonstrates how we've become effetehttp://www.theblaze.com/stories/14-year-old-shoots-armed-intruder-while-babysitting-his-younger-siblings-in-phoenix/Crime 14-Year-Old Shoots Armed Intruder While Babysitting His Younger Siblings in Phoenix Posted on June 23, 2012 at 5:15pm by Erica Ritz Erica Ritz *** begin quote *** (The Blaze/AP) — A 14-year-old boy shot and nearly killed an intruder who broke into his Phoenix home and pulled a gun on him while he was watching his three younger siblings, police said Saturday. The teen and his siblings, ages 8, 10 and 12, were at home alone when a woman rang the doorbell on Friday. A common enough occurrence, the boy still chose not to open the door because he didn’t recognize the woman. Quickly escalating into a far more dangerous situation, the 14-year-old rushed his siblings upstairs after he heard a loud bang on the door, grabbing his father’s handgun on the way. When he got to the top of the stairs, he saw an armed man break through the front door and point a gun at him. Acting swiftly, he reportedly shot the 37-year-old man, who was taken to a hospital in extremely critical condition to undergo surgery. However, he is expected to survive and will be booked into jail within the week on counts of aggravated assault and burglary, police Officer James Holmes said. The suspect did not get a shot off, according to police. He also declined to release his name until he is booked into jail. *** end quote *** The CIC comments: On the heels of the Sandusky verdict, this demonstrates one of the premises of my "great american novel" CHURCH 10●19●62 (available as $2 kindle book) that we underestimate what "children" can do and waste their time from ages say 12 to 24! Also we ignore Heinlein's dictum: "An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life." --- Robert A. Heinlein And, of course, one of the other RKBA's bumper sticker philosophy: “Victim disarmament is the view that it is somehow better to see a woman raped in an alley and strangled with her own pantyhose, than see her with a gun in her hand.” — T.D. Melrose And, my own pronouncement on the topic: "So if a Bravo Golf was to try and rape your sister, you'd kill to stop him; right?" "Yes, Miss Marie." "If someone was going to kill any of your Classmates, what then?" "I'd do what needs doing." "Yes, we women do. Did you know John's paternal grandmother traveled the Oregon Trail, bore 13 children, and fought Indians and Outlaws? She's in her 90's now. I've read her letters. Women can kill when it's needed. We may not be as physically strong as men, but who seems to get to change all the diapers?" -- character "Marie" answering a question in CHURCH 10●19●62 Volume 1 Page 262 That's true about my paternal Grandmother, rest her soul. You wouldn't cross her or mess with her kin. She had a loaded shotgun by her door. I doubt when I saw it in the 70's that it would fire or she could control it. But who in their right mind would want to find out. As a nation, men and young boys have been gelded. # - # - # - # - # |
