Well written. As far as I can see the West has been parisitised by Marxist idelology via the long march through the institutions. Marx himself identified religion as the enemy - a barrier to the revoution - the opium of the people - so every single aspect of Judeo Christian religious values including the sanctity of the innocence of the child must be mocked and destroyed to enable critical consiousness or some such nonsense like that. To the Marxist every norm is simply part of the ideology supporting the current order which must be totally destroyed to usher in the supposed utopia but, as you eloquently point out, this path to utopia actually leads us back to a state of barbarism.

Does the left even talk about utopia or some better world in their lust to destroy everything?

They do. Although even their utopian talk has atrophied. Once they would have described the utopia. Now it’s just one word promises that are meaningless but supposed to be positive-change, hope, joy, etc.

Perhaps they Hope for death and get Joy from suffering?

Brilliantly said!

The nihilism of the left is an evil beyond anything which has ever before existed without the slightest redeeming quality. Not for bountiful crops or for some fatherland, just satanic evil. This is the worship of death for the sake of death, the worship of destruction for the sake of destruction. I submit that the world has never encountered such evil, not even the Aztecs.

If the good doesn’t find a way to give the left what they worship we’re all going to perish.

Thanks Richard. Yes, it’s in one way true that even the Aztecs or the Nazis had more excuse. The Nazis hid their death camps, the Aztecs lived in far more primitive times and conditions.

Apparently the height of Aztec sacrificial rituals coincided with serious overpopulation and then climate shifts that threatened major famine. Mass murder/depopulation was one way of dealing with it.

In nature, overpopulation always results in population crashes, and if you cram too many rats together in a cage they start eating each other. Always. The Aztecs were just behaving like overpopulated rats! (Only worse.)

It’s an interesting point, but I believe the human sacrifice started much earlier and the torture of children too. Certainly the things you mention would probably have a causal role in increasing these actions. Mervyn King suggested that the entire cosmology was constructed to justify cannibalism due to the lack of large cattle type sources of protein. Another very disturbing thing that links to your comment though is the Universe 25 experiment.

Excellent once more. The key notion, brought from History in world civilisation and compared to today, is very pertinent.

Thank you, Daniel. What a wonderful piece of journalism. You are easily on par with Melanie Phillips, if not, even better.

Among traditional Catholics in the U.S., Cardinal Cupich, whose opening prayer did not even invoke the name of Jesus Christ, is about as villainous a figure as one can find in the Modernist Catholic Church. An Aztec priest indeed.

You know, it's a funny thing how much men object to the idea of abortions and yet think it's ok to have casual sex with a woman without bothering themselves about what happens next. If men don't want women to have abortions maybe they should stop impregnating them so carelessly. The stigma of being unattached and pregnant is still a thing. As is the poverty and difficulty that a single parent bringing up a child faces. I know women could not agree to have sex or could all be on the pill but men could try taking some responsibility too. As long as it is acceptable for men to "tomcat around" and take no responsibility I'm not sure they should be spouting about the murder of the innocent.

(And I would like to add that, as a woman I would not have an abortion myself and was adopted as a baby so could, in different times, have been an abortion. But I don't think many women see abortion as some sort of birth control - it's generally a difficult and heartbreaking decision. Mind you, I think the limit should be about 8 weeks not, as it seems to be according to your article, 9 months. That is murder!).

Anyway, the rest of the article was, as usual, very interesting!

LOTS of wonen see abortion as birth control! Or worse, as a Satanic ritual of child sacrifice, so they deliberately get pregnant, repeatedly, so they can regularly perform their rituals! Confused, deluded Sickos!

Thanks, but I should clarify that my position is that the casual sex revolution of the 1960s was a bad thing for men, women and society. I also think decent men don’t impregnate women unless they intend to stay with them in a partnership raising the child and that men who abandon children are as morally wrong as women who murder their child in the womb.

I don’t think abortion qualifies as murder when we are talking about insensate cells, but the truth is that an embryo develops very rapidly and that most abortion is murdering a distinct human being who by that point can feel suffering and had recognisable human characteristics. The point at which termination is allowed has been pushed back and back and it’s now at a level that is disgusting.
