Twitter Doesn't Trump Easter
People Are Saying The Musk vs Twitter War Is The Most Important Story There Is... And It Is But NOT For The Reasons Almost Everyone Thinks.
First: I agree the Musk vs Twitter story is one that relates directly to the biggest issues facing modern communication and the exchange of reality based Truths over digital networks.
I also agree with Tucker Carlson’s now controversial but non-controversial statements on the matter.
“So, by doing this, Elon Musk is putting everything on the line. He knows how important Twitter is to the people who run our system and run the global system. For them, censorship and propaganda are not a feature of their rule. Their rule depends on censorship and propaganda… If you are offering policies that really benefit nobody but yourself, you have to lie about them, and you must prevent anyone from complaining about it. So, censorship and propaganda are at the very heart of neoliberalism and Elon Musk is challenging all of that directly.”
For his part, Mr. Musk said on the fabled Twitter itself.
“[A free Twitter] is extremely important for the future of civilization… to help freedom in the world.”
While I understand what Musk is getting at here but the future of civilization is not in the hands of apps and addictive communication services, I would argue they are contra said freedom, why? Because “freedom” is important for one easily definable purpose: Salvation.
Tomorrow, for the 1,987th year, the world, whether it admits it or not, will celebrate the greatest story ever communicated: The Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. The signal event of all human history because without it, the life of battling for “likes”, “blue checks” and “freedom” would be all there is and then you die.
End of story.
Except that its not. And there can be nothing more important to the well being of a human soul than the knowledge that his soul is eternal and will face the Judgement of his Creator, media freedom and all.
For when you were the servants of sin, you were free men to justice. What fruit therefore had you then in those things, of which you are now ashamed? For the end of them is death. But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, you have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end life everlasting. For the wages of sin is death. But the grace of God, life everlasting, in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Epistle of St Paul to the Romans.
Yet search the headlines on any of the news venues and “influencers” that make up this Twitterverse and you will not find any mention of Holy Saturday today, indeed in the last 6 days (Holy week), of what was proclaimed in silent film 100 years ago: The Greatest Story Ever Told. Who wouldn’t want to know this news?
Amen, amen I say unto you, that he who heareth my word, and believeth him that sent me, hath life everlasting; and cometh not into judgment, but is passed from death to life.
If it is truly so important to declare truth in the name of freedom on Twitter and elsewhere then why isn’t the one, True Freedom, everlasting life on the good side of the Four Final Things being declared? Is it being “censored” or is it simply being ignored or even worse, avoided. I’m with Chesterton and choose the latter.
The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult; and left untried.
This is no small contention I am making of the Musk vs Twitter as existential to freedom narrative. The event of The Resurrection resolves the struggle between Man, because of Original Sin, and the Principalities of this world which is what this battle is ultimately about: a contest for souls.
I’m Not Saying Its The Russians, But Yeah, Its The Russians
Caitlin Johnstone has a take on this that I think is very well written and to the secular end of this argument is spot on.
Free speech is important not because it's nice to be able to say what you want, but because the free flow of ideas and information creates a check on the powerful. It gives people the ability to hold the powerful to account. Which is exactly why the powerful work to eliminate it.
We should see it as a huge, huge problem that so much of the world has been herded onto these giant monopolistic speech platforms that conduct censorship in complete alignment with the mightiest power structure in the world. This is the exact opposite of putting a check on power.
How much are we as a society willing to give up for the US government and its allies to win a propaganda war against Putin? Are we willing to commit to being a civilization for which the primary consideration with any piece of data is not whether or not it's true, but whether it helps undermine Russia?
This is a conversation which should already have been going on in mainstream circles for some time now, but it never even started. Let's start it.
Yes, let’s, but without The Resurrection as the Final Cause of the discussion it is pointless. As a matter of fact that’s the entire problem with all of the post-Christendom world’s discussions: The Resurrection as the Final Cause is missing.
I am far more troubled than Ms. Johnstone by the complete public lack of any acknowledgement or display that there is an Easter outside of cheeseball pitches to sell furniture or Cadbury creme filled eggs. I wonder if they are still selling Cadbury eggs in Russia or if depriving Russians of Easter chocolates is part of The Cabal’s plan to starve them out?
But there’s a reason that all of the demonic machinations of the past 25 months have now, Russia, as their focus. On 25 March of this year anno Domini 2022, Pope Francis fulfilled the request of The Mother of The Resurrected One at Fatima and Consecrated Russia (and Ukraine) to Her Immaculate Heart (some will disagree that this happened or fulfilled the request, objections are noted) and thereby, I believe, cast into motion the result of that act: the end of “the errors of Russia” and the conversion of Russia back to the Catholic Church.
This has the acolytes of Beelzebub and the boys in an unrequited rage that no number of sodomies, “spirit cookings” and 13 year old genital mutilations can quell. This explains why the global digital cabalists, including Twitter, have gone to DefCon 1: they’ve lost Russia and the Theotokos is ascendent there. Not only have they lost Russia but She is now gunning for them and their hold on billions of compromised souls, because that’s what consecrated’s to Her Immaculate Heart do.
Go ahead, laugh it up, Fuzzballs. Let me give you another knee slapper.
She’s using Elon Musk to expose the Cabal’s marriage to them and She’s doing it DURING HOLY WEEK. Is that a coincidence? I don’t believe in coincidences. Oh and by the by, Beelzebub is consolidating his defenses in reaction to this.
Its The Resurrection Stupid
The Twitter vs Musk story is the most important story there is but not because of free speech wars but because of its implications in the battle of the Principalities and Man. In Mamon’s land, ‘Muricah, the Resurrection and Easter have been vanquished from the minds and attention of the vast majority of the hoi polloi and nearly all the elites, and that is according to plan. The Cabal is planning awful and monstrous things for their current conquests (thanks Satan!), you should not be one of them and be prepared for what’s coming. My Substack buddy Frank Wright has a magnificent essay on instigating the necessary Regime Change At Home. Read it all!
If you’re not a Catholic or are fallen away, revert or convert.
If you are a Catholic, Consecrate your home and family to Mary’s Immaculate Heart then take up an extra prayer devotion for the Conversion of Russia to The Faith.
All Christians should know this: our future lies in our past. Christendom is being restored and it has expanded to The New World (cause that’s how Christ rolls). You can either join that restoration or remain on the side of Principalities, the divisions are clear for you to see now. Start with Disney and Netflix; processed and manufactured “food” then work your way to credit scores, mortgages and modern banking. I talk about this stuff daily on The CRUSADE Channel’s Mike Church Show, you should listen.
This year’s 1,987th participation of the Faithful in Our Lord’s Resurrection will happen in 6 hours Central Standard Time.
So will next year’s and the next’s.
And they will all be bigger stories than who is buying or will own Twitter.
One could argue that the Resurrection has been purged from the minds of Conciliar hierarchs, or at least is a tool for their plans on making the concilar Church an NGO.
