We have a couple of choices in front of us. The first is if we take courage, or accede to the narrative of this time and fall with the elite into a unity of the damned, instead of a unity of Christ. We can choose to allow the narrative of the corporate state to win, or we can be united in Christ, and stand for what we believe.

We can speak the truth. We know it is accounted as hate.

Then we can double down and preach the gospel.

“To suggest a group of our colleagues have traits that make them less biologically suited to that work is offensive and not OK. It is contrary to our basic values and our Code of Conduct, which expects ‘each Googler to do their utmost to create a workplace culture that is free of harassment, intimidation, bias and unlawful discrimination.’ The memo has clearly impacted our co-workers, some of whom are hurting and feel judged based on their gender. Our co-workers shouldn’t have to worry that each time they open their mouths to speak in a meeting, they have to prove that they are not like the memo states, being ‘agreeable’ rather than ‘assertive,’ showing a ‘lower stress tolerance,’ or being ‘neurotic.’” (Here is a take on the Damore memo by a woman who doesn’t feel a bit insulted by it).

The irony is that the sacking Damore proved his point. You cannot be a Google employee and openly express opinions which suggest men and women are different, or which otherwise challenge the ‘diversity’ agenda. In fact, in ever more workplaces, the penalty for saying something that deviates from the politically correct orthodoxy is occupational and maybe reputational death.

This is fast becoming the secular equivalent of the ‘No Catholics need apply’ or ‘No Jews need apply’ signs of old. In this case it is ‘No conservatives, no orthodox Christians and no libertarians need apply’

The contrast with this is the Syrian Orthodox, who in the face of the Islamic state parade to celebrate Christ is King. Who know that there will be martyrs. Who stand for their faith. They may be of the East, but they are better than us: for they have courage, and have not fallen into despair.

It is far better that Christendom unites by supporting such.

Psalm 133

¹   How very good and pleasant it is
when kindred live together in unity!
²   It is like the precious oil on the head,
running down upon the beard,
on the beard of Aaron,
running down over the collar of his robes.
³   It is like the dew of Hermon,
which falls on the mountains of Zion.
For there the LORD ordained his blessing,
life forevermore.

Acts 21:1-14

¹When we had parted from them and set sail, we came by a straight course to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara. ²When we found a ship bound for Phoenicia, we went on board and set sail. ³We came in sight of Cyprus; and leaving it on our left, we sailed to Syria and landed at Tyre, because the ship was to unload its cargo there. ⁴We looked up the disciples and stayed there for seven days. Through the Spirit they told Paul not to go on to Jerusalem. ⁵When our days there were ended, we left and proceeded on our journey; and all of them, with wives and children, escorted us outside the city. There we knelt down on the beach and prayed ⁶and said farewell to one another. Then we went on board the ship, and they returned home.

⁷When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais; and we greeted the believers and stayed with them for one day. ⁸The next day we left and came to Caesarea; and we went into the house of Philip the evangelist, one of the seven, and stayed with him. ⁹He had four unmarried daughters who had the gift of prophecy. ¹⁰While we were staying there for several days, a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea. ¹¹He came to us and took Paul’s belt, bound his own feet and hands with it, and said, “Thus says the Holy Spirit, ‘This is the way the Jews in Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt and will hand him over to the Gentiles.’” ¹² When we heard this, we and the people there urged him not to go up to Jerusalem. ¹³Then Paul answered, “What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound but even to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.” ¹⁴Since he would not be persuaded, we remained silent except to say, “The Lord’s will be done.”

Our example here is Paul. He spoke where he was sent. He knew the cost. He paid it. The progressives will preach on the single and holy daughters of Philip, who prophesied: I would say that these holy and godly women had the sense to live under the protection of their father, for the times were evil and there were no nunneries.

Paul set his mind on Jerusalem. He burned with this thought: he could evangelise there as he had to the Gentiles. If only the Jews would worship Jesus, and they be saved! For it is written that they will at the end of days.

When all will be revealed, and we will weep for what we have done that is wrong.

But this is not that day. Yet. We are facing the spirit of this age, and it roars against us. When the Unite the Right demonstration led to violence the leaders in their naivety considered that the state would allow free speech as the courts required. They did not, and now their other rallies are cancelled, as the left run victory parades saying that any who hold that these truths are evident shall be cast out as they are not of the West.

I know the helicopter accident wasn’t UTR’s fault, and I know the car crash wasn’t UTR’s fault (not that that’s going to matter – all that normies will come away with is the idea that three people died because UTR decided to march through Charlottesville). But it’s obvious that UTR ended up MASSIVELY underestimating both the type and amount of opposition it was going to receive. And I’m not just talking about antifa brawlers: I’m talking about opposition from the government, from the media, from mainstream conservatives – from every conceivable corner. There was an overconfidence here that led to a catastrophic lack of planning; to no one bringing up enough “What if’s”. There was no contingency plan for what happened, even though it was a possibility that anyone with a modicum of foresight and imagination should have seen coming and planned for.

• Even if UTR was completely the innocent victim here, it doesn’t matter a bit. As Moldbug pointed out, being the brave underdog who was beset upon by the mean ‘ol government/police/vigilantes/institutions/whoever only works if the elites have already decided to favor you with their support. It won’t work for UTR, which lost in basically every possible way. The media now has its “See?! Whites start race riots too!” narrative. The left can claim it drove the Nazis out of Charlottesville (oh, and that Robert E. Lee statue is toast now – I wouldn’t give it another month). Normies, who don’t like disruption, are scared and turned off. As for Trump, he has more to gain by crushing UTR than by siding with it – he can build up his “anti-racist” bona fides, which he can then turn into political capital that will help him in building the Wall and enforcing immigration law, not to mention in getting reelected (“Hey, I proved that I’m not a racist by standing up to violent white supremacists!”). This is why Trump’s FBI just announced that it’s investigating what happened in Charlottesville. Spencer, and a lot of other people involved in UTR, better lawyer up fast – things are going to get very bad for them, very soon.

Expect dirty tricks. Expect that you will be shunned.

If you can isolate yourself from this world do so: however, most of us do not have such a life. We are in this world. We need to be slippery and as wise as a dragon, but we need to not join in the false flag (The man who drove through the antifa crowd had been part of the Occupy movement) nor pretend that we will ever have the state talking of blood, nation and soil.

They will preach diversity until they fail.

They will demand the church becomes part of their narrative until they fail.

And we cannot hold with such. For the Church is not theirs. It belongs to Christ, it is of no political party or nation.

Instead let us stand with our brothers, and let us not be too fussy or demand purity. If they seek truth, they are with us.
