‘I Want a Death That the World Will Hear’

Lew Rockwell Institute - Lun, 21/04/2025 - 05:01

Israel assassinated a photojournalist in Gaza in an airstrike targeting her family’s home on Wednesday, the day after it was announced that a documentary she appears in would premier in Cannes next month.

Her name was Fatima Hassouna. Nine members of her family were also reportedly killed in the bombing. She was going to get married in a few days.

The documentary is titled Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk, and it’s about Israel’s crimes in Gaza.

In an Instagram post from August of last year, Hassouna wrote the following:

“If I die, I want a loud death. I don’t want to be just breaking news, or a number in a group; I want a death that the world will hear, an impact that will remain through time, and a timeless image that cannot be buried by time or place.”

Palestinian photographer Fatima Hassouna was killed, along with nine members of her family, in an Israeli airstrike that targeted their home in Gaza on Wednesday.

Hassouna said she viewed her camera as a weapon to change the world and defend her family, making the following statements in a video shared by Middle East Eye:

“As Fatima, I believe that the image and the camera are weapons. So I consider my camera to be my rifle. So many times, in so many situations, I tell my friends, Come and see, it’s not bullets that we load into a rifle. Okay, I’m going to put a memory card into the camera. This is the camera’s bullet, the memory card. It changes the world and defends me. It shows the world what is happening to me and what’s happening to others. So I used to consider this my weapon, that I defend myself with it. And so that my family won’t be forgotten. And so I can document people’s stories, so that my family’s stories too don’t just vanish into thin air.”

Israel saw Hassouna’s camera as a weapon too, apparently.

As Ryan Grim observed on Twitter:

“For this to have been a deliberate act — which it plainly was — consider what that means. A person within the IDF saw the news that Fatma’s film was accepted into Cannes. He/she/they then proposed assassinating her. Other people reviewed the suggestion and approved it. Then other people carried it out.”

Israel has been murdering a record-shattering number of journalists in Gaza while simultaneously blocking any foreign press from accessing the enclave because Israel views journalists as its enemy. And Israel views journalists as its enemy because Israel is the enemy of truth.

Israel and its western backers understand that truth and support for Israel are mutually exclusive. Those who support Israel are not interested in the truth, and those who are interested in the truth don’t support Israel.

That’s why the light of journalism is being aggressively snuffed out in Gaza while Israel massively increases its propaganda budget to sway public opinion.

It’s why journalists like Fatima Hassouna are being assassinated while the western propaganda services known as the mainstream press commit journalistic malpractice to hide the truth of Israel’s crimes.

It’s why western journalists are banned from Gaza while western institutions are silencing, deporting, firing and marginalizing those who speak out about Israel’s criminality.

Israel and truth cannot coexist. Israel’s enemies know this, and Israel knows this. That’s why Israel’s primary weapons are bombs, bullets, propaganda, censorship, and obstruction, while the main weapon of Israel’s enemies is the camera.

Fatima Hassouna’s death has indeed been heard. All these loud noises are snapping more and more eyes open from their slumber.

Priests Must Hold Fast To Tradition as the Church Goes Through This Agony

Lew Rockwell Institute - Lun, 21/04/2025 - 05:01

The following was written and published in French by Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò on Holy Thursday. The following is an unofficial English translation.

NEC SENESCAT TEMPORE

Homily of Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò for the Chrism Mass on Holy Thursday

On Thursday of Holy Week, the Church honors with the utmost solemnity some of the most important mysteries of our religion. In ancient times, this blessed day began with the reconciliation of public sinners who had atoned for their sins during Lent. Vivo ego, dicit Dominus: nolo mortem peccatoris, sed ut magis convertatur, et vivat.

But for the sinner not to die, but rather to be converted and live, it is indispensable that the Sacrifice of the New and Eternal Covenant, the Holy Mass, be perpetuated in an unbloody manner; and for this eternal Sacrifice to be celebrated, it requires the Priesthood, and thus the Episcopate to transmit it in the line of Apostolic Succession; and with the Priesthood, the Oils and Chrism of the anointing of Priests and Kings, Prophets and Martyrs. In short, it is necessary that the Messiah – the Χριστός, the Lord’s Anointed – gloriously risen and ascended to Heaven after suffering and dying on the Cross, perpetuate His presence in Holy Church, His Mystical Body, until the day of His return at the end of time.

On this blessed day, we remember the Last Supper, the institution of the priesthood, the Mass and the Blessed Sacrament.

The evening liturgy takes us back to the Upper Room, where the Apostles received His spiritual testament from the Lord, before the agony of Gethsemane and the arrest by the Sanhedrin. And while the days before and after Maundy Thursday offer us the Gospels of the Passion and the outward signs of mourning, today the Church dresses in white, intones the Gloria and concentrates on contemplating these last hours that the Redeemer spends with His disciples.

Never as in this crucial phase in the history of the Church and of humanity can we feel and share the apprehension of the Apostles, their disorientation at seeing their feet washed by the Master, their awareness of an imminent destiny, the sleep that seized them during the Agony in the Garden of Olives, the fear that led them to flee, Peter’s triple denial in the Praetorium, the despair that led Judas to take his own life, the silent presence of John and the holy women on the ascent to Calvary and at the foot of the Cross.

In the space of a few hours, the ritual banquet of the Jewish Passover, anticipating the only Mass celebrated before the Sacrifice on Golgotha, gives way to the apparent triumph of the executioners, the arrest of the Lord, a trial conducted with fraud and false witnesses, His condemnation to death on the infamous scaffold reserved for slaves, the outrages of the crowd stirred up by the scribes and priests.

We find all this in the modest signs of the Liturgy, which ends in sadness, with the rite of the stripping of the altars accompanied by the monotonous singing of Psalm 21, and the replacement of the sound of the bells by the austere noise of the rattle.

On the day when the Levites renew their priestly promises and the bond of unity with the Bishop, we must ask ourselves to what model we wish to conform our Priesthood.

There are indeed many ways of understanding and living the priestly ministry, but only one conforms to the will of Our Lord Jesus Christ. It is not you who have chosen me, but I who have chosen you (Jn 15:16), said the Divine Master.

And if He has chosen us, if He has chosen you, it is so that you may be as He wants you to be, and so that you may go and bear fruit and that your fruit may remain (ibid.). That you may go, not that you may remain. That you may grow in holiness, not wallow in mediocrity, or worse, sink into sin. That you may bear fruit. You are not trade unionists, propagandists, leaders of a humanitarian organization or members of a philanthropic circle.

You are not called to reassure souls, nor to please them, but to awaken them from their torpor, to warn them, to prod them opportune, importunate. You are no longer of the world, but in the world: the black robe you wear is a sign of separation and renunciation, an example for the good and a warning for sinners. You are not presidents of an assembly, but ministers of Christ, dispensers of the Mysteries of God (1Co 4, 1). You are not actors on a stage, nor lecturers on a podium: you are priests, in whose gestures and words those who listen to you must see and hear Our Lord, the High Priest, stretching out his arms on the Cross to offer himself to the Father. The Church, the Priesthood, the Mass, the Sacraments, the Liturgy and the Gospel are not your property, nor a draft that God leaves you free to alter, distort or “reread” as you please.

So honor Holy Tradition, not as the cold, extinguished ashes of a past now buried, but as a living flame that should set everything ablaze with supernatural Charity, starting with yourselves. For if you are not the salt of the earth and the leaven of the mass, you will end up being thrown to the ground and trampled underfoot (Mt 5:13) by those you think you are pleasing.

Make the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass the main reason for your life and your days, for on it depends the salvation of the Church, the world and your own. Complete in your body what is lacking in Christ’s sufferings, as the Apostle says (Col 1:24), for the good of His Body, which is the Church. Resistite fortes in fide (1 Pet 5:9), as St. Peter exhorts us. Beware lest your hearts be deceived and you turn aside, serving foreign gods or bowing down to them (Dt 11:16). Heed the advice of the Commonitorium of Saint-Vincent de Lérins: In ipsa item Catholica Ecclesia magnopere curandum est ut id teneamus quod ubique, quod semper, quod ab omnibus creditum est.

This is the most certain rule of Faith, before an apostate Hierarchy that eclipses the true Church of Christ, and before a usurper of the Supreme Pontificate. Learn to obey God rather than men, remembering that the destiny of the priest or bishop is indissolubly linked to that of his Lord:

If the world hates you, know that it hated me first.

If you belonged to the world, the world would love what belongs to it. But because you are not of the world, and I chose you out of the world, the world hates you because of this. Remember what I said to you: The servant is not greater than the master. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my word, they will also keep yours. But they will do all these things to you for my name’s sake, because they do not know him who sent me (Jn 15:18-21).

The Church is preparing to face the passio Ecclesiae, the Mystical Body of Christ, which, like its Head, must not only face torment in the individual members of the Martyrs, as has happened throughout history, but also in the whole body, brought before a new Sanhedrin that hates the Church as it hates Christ. And in these blessed hours, we are given the opportunity to celebrate the Priesthood that has been conferred upon us: some in the fullness of the Episcopate, others in participation in the various degrees of the Order you have received. Gathered around the Calvary of the altar, let us repeat the words and gestures that the Lord taught the Apostles, faithful to the mandate received: Hæc quotiescumque feceritis, in mei memoriam facietis (1Co 11, 25). Each of us can say with Saint Augustine: Admiramini, gaudete, Christus facti sumus (Tract. XXI). We have become Christ: the faithful, in Baptism; you, Sacred Ministers, in the ordained ministerial Priesthood; we, Bishops, in the fullness of the Priesthood and in the Apostolic Succession.

We repeat what we have been taught and ordered to do. Let us pass on intact – with God’s help and the assistance of the Holy Spirit – what we have received: Tradidi quod et accepi (1 Cor 1:3). For we have nothing of ourselves to pass on, except all that Christ has given us: Dominus pars hereditatis meæ et calicis mei: tu es qui restitues hereditatem meam mihi (Ps 15:5), the Lord is my inheritance and my cup: it is You who brings me back into possession of the inheritance I had so abruptly lost. And if we are children, we are also heirs: heirs of God, co-heirs with Christ, if we truly share in his sufferings so as to share in his glory (Rom 8:17). Our being heirs of God and co-heirs of Christ thus involves assimilating the royal priesthood of Our Lord: a priesthood that consists in offering the divine Victim in the unbloody Sacrifice of the Mass; but also in offering ourselves, mystically, as victims in union with the Immaculate Lamb; and in being, like Christ, the cornerstone, the mystical altar on which the rite is celebrated. Only in this way, dear brothers, can we be worthy of hearing the Master repeat the consoling words he spoke to the Apostles in the Upper Room:

This is my commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you.

There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends, if you do what I command you. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, because all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you, that you may go and bear fruit, that your fruit may abide, and that the Father may grant you whatever you ask of him in my name (Jn 15:12-16).

Let us implore the Blessed Virgin, the Regina Crucis, Mother of the High Priest, Mother of the Divine Victim, Tabernacle of the Most High, that we may truly be friends of Christ, doing as He commands. By staying awake and praying during the agony of His Church; by remaining faithful to Him when new Judases hand Him over to the Sanhedrin; by not fleeing in fear, by not denying Him as Peter did. By loving one another as He loved us: Congregavit nos in unum Christi amor; by knowing how to give life as He gave it for us. By sharing in His sufferings, so as to share in His glory. And may it be so.

The Truth

Lew Rockwell Institute - Lun, 21/04/2025 - 05:01

What is Truth?

It can be hard to know.

Not because it doesn’t exist, but because it’s usually too distant, vast, and complicated to comprehend. Or…like an ocean to a fish or a forest to a tree…it’s too close, and all-encompassing. As Chesterton said, it’s easy to be blind to a thing, so long as it’s big enough.

What we think we see is often a consoling mirage, a portrayal we create to validate our assumptions. It’s tempting (and often reasonable) to base unequivocal conclusions on preconceived notions.

And why not? In some sense, that’s what preconceived notions are for: handy guides to keep us from wandering in the desert. But we tend to rend our garments whenever they’re refuted.

We all have biases that beg to be affirmed. Most are harmless, some are helpful, many are dangerous.

To keep from being singed, we sometimes hide our candle under a bushel, to curtail controversial opinions so that we keep receiving our pieces of silver. When suspected of holding dissident perspectives, it’s easiest to deny three times we ever deviated.

It’s convenient to follow the crowd and go with the flow. To preserve professional status or personal clout, we’d best join the chorus…and choose Barabbas over Christ.

That’s human nature. When given a choice, most of us opt not to carry a cross. I’m no different.

Their Own Reward

I’ve spent most of my life on the prescribed path. College…graduate school… corporate career…leafy suburbs. For most of that time, aside from intimate family and close friends, I kept my opinions private.

For two decades, my writing was mostly personal diaries, family stories, and travel journals. Only in the last few years did more controversial topics enter these essays, tenuously transported on the ignorance of an ass.

Regarding religion and politics…which converge on Good Friday as on no other day…my opinions are occasionally welcomed with waving palms. Often they’re met with rhetorical scourging.

That’s fine, and to be expected. These are acrimonious subjects we’re not supposed to discuss, except to repeat approved pronouncements from our appointed priests.

It’s understandable that “respectable” society avoids these contentious themes. We don’t want relationships ruined over political disputes that are often irrelevant, and typically beyond our control.

Regardless the intensity of our concern for some distant war, domestic policy, or religious dogma, there’s usually little we can do about it.

But deliberation and discussion can be their own reward. Philosophical topics would be less interesting if they weren’t controversial. And they’re engaging because they matter, whether for the wisdom they instill, the damage they do…

or the hope they provide.

Spreading the Word

On the holiest day of the year, we dispense with Good Friday gloom, and exult in Easter optimism. Let’s wash our hands of rancor, to focus inward on family and upward to God.

From the Resurrection to the Ascension, the followers of Christ were reacquainted with the Redeemer, humbling themselves before the Conqueror of death. Having been confined to the Chosen People for two thousand years, it was time for the Word of God to be transmitted to the world.

When Christ was crucified, the Roman Empire was nascent. Like the US after the Second World War, it was energetic, expansive, and unrivaled. Its money was good, its military strong, its competitors subdued. For another century it continued to expand, till decadence and hubris slowly withered it away.

It’s said that with God there are no coincidences. In the time of Christ, Rome approached its apogee. Maybe He came when he did because His path had been paved.

Literally.

Roman roads and the Augustinian peace permitted Word to spread. Never before had the known world been so seamlessly connected. After the Resurrection, Christ’s disciples could multiply adherents by traveling vast distances with (relatively) few internal hindrances or foreign threats.

And they did. From Jerusalem, they scattered far afield.

We know Peter and Paul ultimately went to Rome. Andrew evangelized what’s now the Ukraine, and probably Greece. James went west to Spain. Thomas traveled east, to Parthia and India. Bartholomew may also have gone to India, but almost certainly arrived in Arabia.

A Church established, the message was magnified. After a couple centuries of periodic persecution, it seeped into the crannies and crevices of the declining empire. In the 4th century, Constantine adopted and adapted Christianity to Rome.

Net and Sieve

In large measure, Gibbon ascribed the fall of Rome to the rise of Christianity. Perhaps.

But many factors precipitate an imperial collapse. Sometimes, as Nietzsche said, that which is bound to fall deserves to be pushed. If the Church gave Rome a shove, it also served as a net, and a sieve… retaining seeds of revival as it let degraded soil wash away.

Regeneration was tedious. It began when the Church embedded belief in the sanctity of all human life. This was based on a worldview rooted in reason, that acknowledged an orderly universe created by God, with each person crafted in His image.

Unlike some random creation subject to arbitrary whims, such a rational system was susceptible to observation, experiment, and study. This formed the basis for modern science, of which Church scholars were at the forefront.

Their efforts laid the foundations of Canon Law, from which emerged Western notions of human rights and the rule of law. Five centuries before Adam Smith, Catholic priests developed precepts of free-market economics. To facilitate scientific exploration and philosophic inquiry, the Church invented the university.

Today these achievements are mostly forgotten, attributed elsewhere, or overtly denigrated. The Catholic Church (and Christianity itself) is routinely ridiculed as anachronistic and oppressive. It hasn’t helped that since the Second Vatican Council, the Church has engaged in what seem to be concerted efforts to undermine itself.

Ostensibly “opening its windows” to welcome the world, the Church instead stooped to its level. Sacramental reverence and ecclesiastical credibility have all suffered erosion as earthly concerns superseded the salvation of souls.

But even with the Church in shambles or consigned to catacombs, we’re certain it’ll survive. Christ affirmed the Gates of Hell wouldn’t prevail against it, and that He’d be with us till the end of time, as the Way and the Life.

And the Truth.

Happy Easter.

And it’s a doozy. US Catholic bishops have been in a bind for years, and this book tells us how we got there — including the role played  by the taxpayer grants from the Agency for International Development and Obama-Biden’s millions for the bishops’ border “charities” that  wound up on the front page this year.

So it’s kept me busy (and silent) these past couple of years… but it’s worth it. I hope that LRC can give it a link!

Tariffs to Cause Huge Shortages in Critical Rare-Earth

Lew Rockwell Institute - Sab, 19/04/2025 - 09:02

Leo Higgins

Looks like the tariffs have struck us in the backside yet again, in another exercise of President Trump’s penchant for creating unforeseen consequences in mindless “statecraft.” This time, due to the overall shortsighted tariff policy (aimed, as a practical matter, mostly at China), China has embargoed 7 rare-earth minerals which are essential for many “defense related” components to our high end weapons systems, and which are equally vital in many civilian uses, as well. 

This shortsightedness is becoming more and more typical of the mercurial pronouncements of President Trump, I’m afraid.   While it is doubtless true that the overall picture would have been even bleaker under Harris, it does no good for conservatives to bury our heads in the sand regarding Trump’s strategic gaffes and moral lapses.  His thinking is almost pure impulsiveness and flailing “reaction,” there is no “wisdom” behind any of it, it seems.  And his choices for advisors – especially in military and foreign affairs – are leading him to make the same mistake of surrounding himself with backstabbing neocons of the same “quality” that permeated his administration the last time around.  From backing Israeli genocide in Gaza, to seriously undermining the freedom of speech of American citizens (also in support of Israel), to picking unnecessary fights with China via tariffs and general saber-rattling, we’re not off to a good start. 

I tried to point out Trump’s rather weak grasp of details all through the campaign, but people just wanted to reply with: “Yeah, but we have to stop Harris!”  Perhaps so, but the Republican/conservative electorate, by thinking this way, and reflexively pinning all their hopes on Trump, just managed to kick the can down the road *yet again* with regard to forcing *real* change.   He’s LARPing as a clumsy Trojan Horse for political change, and, wittingly or otherwise, he’s setting the stage for the continuation of the Republican Party’s penchant for carrot-and-stick-based Hopium for the plebes out here in the national chorus.  There’s always tomorrow!  Besides, we’re ‘Murica, dadgummit!  We can cajole the whole world and take orders from one particular “ally,” while riding the wave of worldwide chaos to unimagined prosperity!  Well, sure.  Except that the reckoning for our collective, long-term, hubristic insouciance is nigh.  Judging from the trajectory of President Trump’s first three months, there will be precious little of constitutional principles or true liberty left to preserve by the next national election in 2028, and the can won’t even be able to get kicked along any further. 

Now, just three months in, Trump’s policies in military and diplomatic relations – or those of his advisors, if one insists on the distinction – have us very close to WW3 if Israel attacks Iran (entirely and solely with our direct help);  close to another international crisis that could lead to hot war with China;  close to a real First Amendment crisis of free speech for US citizens via muzzling opinion over Israeli genocide in Gaza at Israel’s behest, with possible incarceration in foreign hell-hole prisons yet;  and close to potential economic collapse, critical resource shortages or sundry other severe crises because of these crazy tariffs. 

The foregoing are the end-result of conservative complacency over 40 years at the least, where RINOs and neocons have led us by the nose because they took over the Republican Party and offered themselves as the only “choice” opposed to even worse Democrat sociopaths and communists. We did basically nothing to demand better choices in candidates, and just concentrated on being mere “game managers,” and wound-up *still* losing in the end. 

We’re toast.  Perhaps that’s an alien and incomprehensible concept for MAGA to ruminate on, and I take no delight in saying it.  Less attention should have been paid to NASCAR, the NFL, Dancing with the Stars, and other inconsequential inanities, in favor of focusing on stopping the looming national (global?) calamity dead ahead.  Fox News, Newsmax, and the rest of the so-called “conservative” mainstream media aren’t going to give anyone a heads-up about any of that.  They’re in bed with the crowd that is about to hang us with the rope we gave them by taking our own eyes off the ball for decades. 

Anyway, check out this short video from Kernow Damo’s website on the rare-earths fiasco engendered by tariffs and mindless aggression…
