How to repond to this Olympic outrage? My wife vowed not to watch the events at all. She believes that the Christian athlete should protest by refusing to compete after years of sacrifice and training. Boycott French products? Leave France off the travel itinerary? I have a different take. Now the LGBTQ+ crowd (Q+ for short, there are just too many letters to keep track of) has made their claim. They are, in fact, now unquestionably, a religion, and as such, must be subject to all of the church/state restrictions and prohibitions that impact any other expressions of faith in the United States.
Their fealty is to The Adversary. Dennis Prager talked about this for years and put it in writing in his 2012 book Still The Best Hope ( why the world needs American values to triumph) when he described Leftist's ideologies as a secular religion.
He wrote "One example of the religious nature of Leftism was the term adopted by Hillary Clinton when she was First Lady - "the politics of meaning." The term was highly meaningful to the Left, but meaningless to conservatives. The reason is that conservatives do not look to government and politics for meaning. They look to their own lives-their families, their work, their friends, their hobbies, and most of all, their God-based religions."
I bave mentioned before a study that demonstrated a need to " believe" is baked into the DNA of 80+% of human. Conflating that. urge with secularism can hardly result in anything else but perversion.
Yes, the adversary, the accuser, the father of lies, many centuries ago disguised as Moloch, Baal, et. al. Currently reading Chesterton, "The Everlasting Man," where he points out that we can be thankful that Carthage did not prevail in the Punic Wars. It looked bleak for a while, when Hannibal crossed the Alps with his elephants and descended upon Rome with fury. The name "Hannibal" in the original language, translates "Grace of Baal."
Still believe that the root cause of the ever expanding Q+ phenomenon is due to chemicals that distort the hormonal balance within the human body. We are a chemical society that drives our food production with medicine being the beneficiary! Bis Phenyl A residue is found in a myriad of plastic compositions and is an estrogen interrupter. Few studies have been funded to determine the extent of the great harm.
Worthy of exploration to be sure! But if this residue is as ubiquitous as one would suppose, how to test? Maybe there's a testosterone interrupter out there as well. But can we agree that in retrospect, the sexual revolution of the '60s turned out to be a cultural disaster?
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.” (Edmund Burke maybe John Mill ??) We have all heard that leftist Marxist governments focus on the young for they have soft minds which is true. The question is why do governments focus on the young? It is mainly because the young have no life experience by which to make educated judgement on issues. It’s amazing to me that the LGBTQIA + community constantly go after Christian’s and Christ. Why don’t they ever go after Mohamed? I’ll tell you why because they are yellow livered cowards and they know for some reason Christian men will do nothing. Muslim men would never allow these perverts to put children on that stage and expose themselves to them. There would be hell to pay. So every time we see things like what happened at the Olympics or stories about Russian disinformation, fake laptops, the assassination was a set up by Trump, know their is a system that controls the media the Olympics schools etc. all to mess with the soft minds of the young and produce generations of ultra tolerant men that will do nothing even if it’s their own kids. Apologies by the French government after the fact that the grooming of these poor children sexualized on that stage means nothing to me. People should be brought up on child abuse charges and put in prison starting with Emmanuel Macron. J.Goodrich
Candace Owens has done some great videos on Macron and Brigitte available on rumble. At BEST Brigitte was a 40 year old woman that left her husband and kids to be with a 14 year old boy. Reality is likely much worse.
After the disgusting last supper portrayal, I refuse to watch the Olympics this year. I wish the best for our athletes, but want to see no more from France, which knowing and willingly allowed such an offensive display!
Sad, to say, I think the Paris Opening Ceremony probably was a prime illustration of the so-called "western values" that the ruling elites in US and EU are trying to force on the rest of the world.
Today the world consist with these THEME ( Plague - Death, New - Genders, Antichrist, Covid - Death, Climate - Death, Heat- Death, Cold - Death), what is interesting everything is repeating itself, but in a different way, it reminds me of "Four Horsemen" the Apocalypse with very much the same " Plague, War, Famine, Death. What France showed around the world at the Olympics of such Perversity, and Ugliness is unbelievable there behavior is to boost their ego to elevate their own self worth it is a false sense of superiority, if any country accepting there apologies then they are not better in what we have seen, are we in a beginning of Sodom and Gomorrah where sexual perversion was prevalent, everything we have seen and heard here in this country it sounds like we are getting there.
Excellent way to look at how things could be if the demonic was not put in charge of event planning. When will we say enough is enough? I was never Olympic material but loved riding my own horses in barrel racing as well as jumping. Keep up the good work and enjoy your homesteading.
Same with me Jayne. Did all the gymkhana events and added jumping (with a borrowed saddle, would not allow bareback) to help earn high point. So very long ago. I may have train him, but talent was the horse’s not mine.
Yeah. Ever watch a really good roping horse. A really good one means the rider hardly has much of a throw to make. And then. they actually assist hogtieing the poor little guy.
Magnificent story. Thank you for sharing it, Dr. Malone. You and Todd are two exemplary gentlemen. I was moved to share it on my blog, Crown Valley Quarterly, which offers essays that reassure us that good overcomes evil: https://liveyosemite.wordpress.com/2024/02/23/science-and-technology/
Been many yrs since I ever gave a hoot about the Olympics. Have always hated how the rules have been modified to what has seemed to be purposed to undercut US advantage in particular sports the notorious US/ussr basketball game serving as example. The final straw was the inclusion of professional athletes.
Not to forget - the Muslim people are also upset. They do consider Jesus as a great prophet. I read several reports on how they, too, took the whole scene as blasphemy
I am. Jesus Christ is the Messiah, the Messiach, YHWH the Son. He will return soon in the 2nd Advent, the paraousia, to Redeem His Kingdom, the Kingdom of G*d. And to Judge all living and dead human beings whom ever lived. Some to the new earth. And many to perdition. YHWH is the Covenant name of G*d.
What do you mean? Am I a messiah? Heck no, I am a sinner just like everyone else. I have a Messiah, a Saviour, Jesus Christ, who shed His blood on a cross to save me from my sins, and the sins of all of His people. All colors, all nations, all tongues, all tribes, all of us who believe he is G*d the Son and confess His name. Christ is the Annointed One. The Hebrew translation is Messiach. Some Jews folks confess Jesus as Messiach. All of the original Apostles were Jewish. Jesus Himself was Jewish with olive colored skin and normally spoke Aramaic in daily life.
I use the * when I write G*d as a form of respect of Judaism. I love Jewish people and especially Israelis. But like all people groups, most are good and some are very evil.
Nope, but I have known Messianic Jews and love them like brothers. Your father is my brother in Christ. I spent several nights inside the Jaffa Gate in Olde Town Jerusalem at the Christ Church Guesthouse. Messianic Jews folks worship there in the Chapel next door. Yeshua is the Hebrew translation of Jesus. English speakers also have men named Joshua which is the same root word as Jesus or Yeshua. Spanish use the name Jesus without translation.
I consider other Jews to be cousins who have not yet opened their eyes. I don’t push to convert anyone. That is the exclusive work of YHWH the Holy Spirit.
He goes to a non-denominational church now, he’s had some rough situations with non-religious ‘jewish’ family. Are you from the UK? You used the ‘Saviour’, instead of ‘Savior’. Just curious.
Thank you for sharing this excellent essay, and one that is so needed in this era of narcissism and depravity. Selflessness and a deep appreciation for the gifts bestowed upon us by our creator and those who came before us is what is needed to pull us out of the morass into which many seem to have fallen. The Olympic opening ceremony is just one example. We have to promote the principles and teachings of our God if we are to save ourselves from this evil.
Art is a reflection of culture. I went to Asheville (NC) to check out pottery and was dismayed at how edgy and disturbed it all was. I remember seeing elements of this movement back in college which has sadly now become main stream. The Paris ceremony is hardly surprising. Wasn’t there a similar thing for the CERN opening ceremony? Hopefully, we’ll move into something a lot healthier soon. I’m weary of the sick and twisted.
These homestead life essays are the best antidote I can imagine. Health still exists in the world. Thank you.
There was too much ambiguity in the 2024 opening of the games, too much debauchery that has nothing to do with world class athletic talent and performance, while the athletes themselves sleep on cardboard beds to discourage sexual encounters. Not much makes sense in this crazy world we live in.
Beautiful essay

Macron has long presented the image of being a horse's ass. He has now maybe finalized that portrait?
Oh Micheal, Macron is a Jack Ass. Don't demean the most valiant of God's gifts - the horse.
Just because you cannot throw a saddle on a cat.....
or even herd it.
Yes, Shelley. The horse deserves the highest praise!
Candace Owens has done some great videos on Macron and Brigitte available on rumble. At BEST Brigitte was a 40 year old woman that left her husband and kids to be with a 14 year old boy. Reality is likely much worse.

Thoughtful and gracefully written. A good human being.

Except those values are definitely not of the west.
They're of the dark side of humans that civilization attempts to keep suppressed.
With the degradation of civilization, more and more of these 'values' are trying to be normalized.
Tell that to the slimeballs pushing this agenda. They act like they believe otherwise
Evil doesn't know it's evil - it loves itself.

That's why they are worth six digit figures.
OH my goodness yes, it was all the horse. I just let him do his thing. I miss having horses, but not muchkng stables! LOL.
I'm still mucking for four. Have not ridden in years.

I appreciate this. A lot of people are willing to say ‘God’, how many are willing say “Christ’?
I am. Jesus Christ is the Messiah, the Messiach, YHWH the Son. He will return soon in the 2nd Advent, the paraousia, to Redeem His Kingdom, the Kingdom of G*d.

Are you Messianic?

Are you a Jewish believer in Yeshua? You used the *… it is a very Jewish thing to do. (My father is Messianic.)
I use the * when I write G*d as a form of respect of Judaism. I love Jewish people and especially Israelis. But like all people groups, most are good and some are very evil.
me too. . . . simply out of respect.
