Rest in Peace, My Esteemed Colleague, The Distinquished Gentleman from Hell?
Recently my mother called and told me we were all expected at the funeral of a well known and well understood local man, who had been among other things: an elected county judge, a Presbyterian lay minister who spoke heresy as often as possible, a womanizer who divorced his wife (while speaking heresy in Church and calling himself a ‘conservative’) and a father. For decades. He wasn’t driven to it through drink or abuse when he was little in his own eyes. That’s just how he was as fallen and reprobate and would have continued to be in the land of the living if not for mortality. God finally cut off his wickedness.
We were to go to the funeral for the sake of friendships with the ex and the family. I declined.
Mother, as always, was aghast. It was rude. These things weren’t done, etc. What about the ex; the children? How would she feel? What would they say?
The amount of damage Satan did through that one man is so immense as to be incalculable. Those who went to him for advice were lied to as he ‘represented Jesus’ to them, those he helped deceive they had ‘free’ will and the trick to a lifetime filled with emotional positives was simply that one was to ‘use’ that will ‘properly’ — were lied to verbatim/to-their-face and by the example of his own life.
Yet now that he is dead, everyone wants to say “Ah. My brother.” No thank you.
2 John 1:10,11 If any one come to you and bring not this doctrine, do not receive him into the house, and greet him not; for he who greets him partakes in his wicked works.
Here, a man well known as a liar who tried to usurp as best he could, as anti-Christ did it through him, all the people he could with lies of ‘free’ will with a communist/Leftist twist and was only stopped by physical death, (as is the inevitable end of such a lie for all within it), is supposedly lamented and the lamentation supposedly proof of ‘good form’ and adherence to a standard of Etiquette indicative of ‘Jesus’. He should have not been mentioned and given the burial of roadkill.

Townhall.com :: Columns :: John Kenneth Galbraith, R.I.P. by William F. Buckley - May 2, 2006
So it is said, for the record; and yet we grieve, those of us who knew him. We looked to his writings for the work of a penetrating mind who turned his talent to the service of his ideals. This involved waging war against men and women who had, under capitalism, made strides in the practice of industry and in promoting the common good. Galbraith denied them the tribute to which they were entitled.
When they went further and offered their intellectual insights, Galbraith was unforgiving. His appraisal of intellectual dissenters from his ideas of the common good derived from the psaltery of his moral catechism, cataloguing the persistence of poverty, the awful taste of the successful classes, and the wastefulness of the corporate and military establishments.
Where Mr. Galbraith is not easily excusable is in his search for disingenuousness in such as Charles Murray, a meticulous scholar of liberal background, whose “Losing Ground” is among the social landmarks of the postwar era. “In the mid 1980s,” Galbraith writes, “the requisite doctrine needed by the culture of contentment to justify their policies became available. Dr. Charles A. Murray provided the nearly perfect prescription. … Its essence was that the poor are impoverished and are kept in poverty by the public measures, particularly the welfare payments, that are meant to rescue them from their plight.” Whatever qualifications Murray made, “the basic purpose of his argument would be served. The poor would be off the conscience of the comfortable, and, a point of greater importance, off the federal budget and tax system.”
One needs to brush this aside and dwell on the private life of John Kenneth Galbraith. I know something of that life, and of the lengths to which he went in utter privacy to help those in need. He was a truly generous friend. The mighty engine of his intelligence could be marshaled to serve the needs of individual students, students manque, people who had a problem.
Mr. Buckley quotes himself with frequency in the entire lamentation, perhaps an inside joke between them of Mr. Galbaith’s style. Aside from the substance, the article had no business being written. It is yet another seduction to those around him to genuinely give ear to liars and thieves, call them “my esteemed colleague” or “the gentleman from ..somewhere else..” in the midst of their lies and thievery as if words did no damage and lies were a necessary kind of fertilizer the country must have to grow.
Instead of seeing lies as evils God places here and there to test His flock, Mr. Buckley is deceived such that he finds lies a supposed inoculant against other lies and so sets them up as unavoidable to all he may as a supposed physician by giving liars the stage beside him in order to knock them down. He would have the world a jungle of lies he guides others through and the young deceived that no action is holy unless first debated with a liar, such that a path to holiness in the public and private sphere is not possible without a trip to the liars podium first –a deception that has hamstrung the Republican Party to this hour concerning all Democrats –as if they needed a kind of reverse permission from the Democrats for anything.
God very plainly says to get up and leave, not give ear or company or the right hand of fellowship to those that lie:
Proverbs 19:27 Cease, my son, to hear the instruction which causeth to stray from the words of knowledge.
Proverbs 14:6,7 A scorner seeketh wisdom, and there is none for him ; but knowledge is easy unto the intelligent. Go from the presence of a foolish man, in whom thou perceivest not the lips of knowledge
God says to NOT give place to Satan:
Ephesians 4:25-27 Wherefore, having put off falsehood, speak truth every one with his neighbour, because we are members one of another. Be angry, and do not sin; let not the sun set upon your wrath, neither give room for the devil.
No doubt Mr. Buckley sees not the Word of God, but a love of discourse in all fallen human beings that excuses his disobedience such that he is deceived his speech is genuine evangelism of the good. No doubt Mr. Buckley, like so many, sees the Great Debate and the constant seeking for an opponent as “an American tradition” indicative of “a healthy nation.”
Giving known liars the stage to merely give oneself the stage as a professional eyes-to-the-blind as supposedly besting the liar in discourse in public even as one is lied through oneself by the same speech as the poster-liar, anti-Christ, while one evidences humor and subtle jokes at the expense of the poster-liar’s ‘ideas’ as THE supposed proof of the weakness of the liars ‘arguements’ is anti-Christ and the spreading of deceit. But such is the Etiquette of the Queen of Heaven the whole of the American populace worships. As anti-Christ said through Mencken: “Here. The buffoonery never stops.”
It is little wonder then that a professional debater such as Mr. Buckley would mourn the loss of one of his favorite excuses to say words and to do the Etiquette that is corrupting the nation like cancer while he trains by example as many as possible to follow in his footsteps. To teach the children by example that they must go and find a known liar and set up the liar as a supposed person of ‘influence’ as if ‘influence’ actually existed and as if liars needed a permanent podium in front of enforced attendance at debates, is to debauch the children, to cast snakes and spiders in the nursery as if the ‘natural environment’ they must grow up in –as if liars should always be the Teachers as the natural order.
The tolerance of liars is always followed by a tolerance of lies as we plainly see in American society today in homosexuality, abortion, and the free will lie rampant among the aged and the young as if ‘wisdom’ they aquired –by arguing with a liar as the bona fides of Truth and having pre-packaged debates presented to them in which positive emotion is the supposed proof of what is true and good. Mr. Buckley’s appeal to Astarte/Mary-of-the-Romanists/Queen of Heaven as Etiquette- by - example is not ‘good form’ but a lie itself that deceives to this hour.
What Mr. Buckly has always done, deceived as he is by anti-Christ, is implicitly tell the Audience that they must decide for themselves what the truth is and that a debate is a ‘truth choosing’ event. That is why he always seeks a poster liar from another school of opinion to argue with –to deceive, though plainly not ‘on purpose’ as there is no free will, that the Truth is a product of the ‘human mind’ , as if the ‘human mind’ had ‘free’ will and the speech to know Truth at all.
Galatians 5:17-21 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these things are opposed one to the other, that ye should not do those things which ye desire; but if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under law. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are fornication, uncleanness, licentiousness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strifes, jealousies, angers, contentions, disputes, schools of opinion, envyings, murders, drunkennesses, revels, and things like these; as to which I tell you beforehand, even as I also have said before, that they who do such things shall not inherit God’s kingdom.

There is another aging local pastor, famous in his own eyes for his smooth etiquette and mannerisms-to-make-the-audience-come-back-and-bring-a-friend-with-them. I won’t be at his funeral either. I’m sure I won’t be missed as all he has deceived are thoroughly deceived and ‘love’ in the Etiquette of anti-Christ all over each other.
Jeremiah 22:15-19 Shalt thou reign, because thou viest with the cedar? Did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice? Then it was well with him. He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well. Was not this to know me? saith Jehovah. But thine eyes and thy heart are only on thine extortion, and on the blood of the innocent, to shed it, and on oppression and on violence, to do it. Therefore thus saith Jehovah concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, the king of Judah: They shall not lament for him, Ah, my brother! or, Ah, sister! They shall not lament for him, Ah, lord! or Ah, his glory! He shall be buried with the burial of an ass, dragged along and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem.
In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen
Am I now come up without Jehovah against this place to destroy it? Jehovah said to me, Go up against this land and destroy it. 2 Kings 18:25
Anti-Christ tried the lie that God had sent him to conqueor Jerusalem through the Assyrians. But God says to the worshipers of demons who hate Jesus Christ and Israel: "But I know thine abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, And thy raging against me." 2 Kings 19:27
