Ayatollahs Cry, Demons Fly, and No Mo’ Hailing Cesar Chavez High

“Trump says U.S. will destroy Iran’s oil wells, Kharg Island without deal to ‘immediately’ reopen Hormuz Strait” (CNBC)

Iran’s lame strategy is merely to outlast America’s will to overcome a 47-year-old global embarrassment and threat to global security that should have been challenged decades ago.

They clearly do not understand a president who prefers outcome to process.

Let’s dispense with illusions.

The only durable outcome to this conflict is not another ceasefire, not another round of talks, not another “framework agreement” signed with ceremonial pens and forgotten the following Tuesday.

The only correct conclusion: A white flag. Conditions of surrender. The end of ayatollah rule.

Anything short of that is merely an intermission.

Iran’s underground “missile cities”—vast tunnel complexes designed to survive airstrikes and launch retaliatory attacks—were engineered to ensure the regime can keep fighting even after absorbing punishment. They must be located, penetrated, and rendered useless.

Iran still possesses 460 kg of highly enriched uranium, enough for 11 nuclear bombs. It must be neutralized. Not as punishment but as risk management.

For years, Iran has been an ogre managing a toll booth at the Strait of Hormuz, leveraging and now hindering the flow of global oil needs. That ogre must be taken out and Iranian control of the strait removed from their purview.

As for boots on the ground: Let us pray our leaders know in advance whatever hell our soldiers may be up against and are well prepared to meet the challenge. And that they also ensure our men in uniform are well compensated and properly treated when, years from now, they are veterans.

Are the shamers ashamed yet?

(They should be.)

“‘The Cult of Cesar’: Inside the Mountain Compound Led by Cesar Chavez” (NY Times)

He began managing according to the principles of Synanon, a drug-treatment program centered on verbal abuse, attack therapy, and public humiliation.

The appeal of mind control, recalled Marshall Ganz, one of his top lieutenants, was that it gave Mr. Chavez “the feeling of domination.”

In interviews, two women, both daughters of union organizers, told The Times that they were molested and sexually assaulted by Mr. Chavez as adolescents during the 1970s. They said his sexual contact with them began at La Paz when they were 12 and 13, and he was in his mid-40s.

No mo’ hailing Cesar!

In the wake of the Times investigation, members of Congress have introduced a bill to abolish and defund the Cesar E. Chavez National Monument.

Maybe they should move it to the Obama presidential library.

Because as president, in 2012, Obama turned La Paz, where Mr. Chavez is buried, into a federal monument.

OMG! Hold the presses!

Iranian hackers uncovered and published a pic of the FBI director posing with…

… Ernest Hemingway?

“Governor Gavin Newsom Says California Revoked 280+ Hospice Licenses in Crackdown on Fraud” (Edhat)

If you’re wondering why this happened, it’s not because California’s remiss administrators discovered anything amiss.

It’s because independent journalist Nick Shirley hit the pavement, knocked on doors, and exposed massive fraud.

“‘Thousands of exorcists’ needed to tackle rise in Satanism” (The Telegraph)

The first exorcist was Jesus of Nazareth, who simply ordered demons to depart the persons they possessed.

The successful exorcisms Jesus conducted were considered His first miracles. Thereafter, exorcism became a mainstay in the promotion of Christianity: if the devil exists, so must God.

Jesus wanted all His disciples to possess the power to smoke out demons and send them packing. But once Christianity became an organized religion, its high priests adopted exorcism as their exclusive domain and set “requirements” and “qualifications” for those “allowed” to practice it.

To become an exorcist, as Jesus wanted everyone to be, the basic kit is not complicated: a handful of prayers in Latin, a cross, a vial of holy water, the fortitude to engage hell—and a pack of Depends.

It also helps to possess an understanding of Diablo.

The demon does not have supernatural powers, only preternatural powers of illusion and observation. It is not all-knowing, though pretends to be and feigns omniscience. What it does know are your weaknesses and where you’ve been—rather like Santa Claus knowing who’s naughty and nice.

Before proceeding with an exorcism, discernment of diabolic intrusion is necessary. Four tests must be applied to determine whether possession is truly present—or whether you are dealing with mental illness.

Does the subject exhibit abnormal strength? Knowledge of an unknown language? Knowledge of hidden things? An aversion to things holy and sacred? Demons cannot bear looking at holy objects and are said to be especially terrified of the Virgin Mary.

One should first test for “pseudo-possession”: pretend to use Latin prayer and holy water, while actually using Latin prose and un-blessed water. If the subject reacts, she is faking (most victims of possession are women by a ratio of seven to three).

Demonic presence manifests four ways: infestation, as in a premises); oppression, whereby external demons haunt with voices or physical abuse; obsession, and possession.

If possessed, the victim must be a willing participant in the exorcism and be prompted to say, “Eternal father, you are my creator, I adore you.” So don’t try exorcising anyone behind their back or against their will. It won’t work—and may earn you a restraining order.

Then demand: “I command you, in the name of God, to depart”—and try to mean it. Conviction matters. Demons, like bureaucrats and conmen, can smell weakness.

Demons will not speak unless ordered to do so, and are notoriously reluctant to reveal their names, which they regard as defeat. Do not ask the demon any questions other than its name. After the demon reveals itself, intensify pressure. The subject may appear to pass out as the demon tries to avoid hearing prayer. When that happens, pray louder. If the demon intimidates with intense eyes, stare it down.

Be aware that the demon may pretend to depart. Deception is part of the job description. So stick around a while, be thorough and then—poof—just like that…

…it’s gone.

What a week—whew!

And you should too.
