Cromwell: Warning to Parliament on Domestic and Foreign Affairs, 1658; Pt. 4 of 4
Oliver Cromwell, Defender of the Protestant Faith
This incomparable Englishman and Servant of the Most High God, His Royal Highness King Oliver Cromwell (oh, would to God he had accepted the Kingship!), now concludes his speech to the Second Protectorate Parliament. This is his rhetorical coup d’ grace, the final crowning climax of this, yet another discourse for our learning. The Protector of the Commonwealth of England, Scotland and Ireland, the Defender of Reformation Bible-based English Protestantism, as well as our sacred Christian right of “freedom of conscience,” gives us an insight to the thoughts and intentions of his heart. Oliver’s determination to resist Rome’s designs unto death rather than submit to the bogus, Satanic Temporal Power of the Pope, namely, to a certain execution by crypto-Roman Catholic Charles II, is absolutely exhilarating, inspiring the most apathetic of souls! Our Man of God has only seven months more to live, before he departs to be with the Risen Lord Jesus Christ, a departure to be effected by the Black Pope’s “poison cup” slipped to our dear Oliver by his trusted doctor, the diabolical and cowardly George Bate. May you enjoy the Protector’s unabashed, closing exhortations to the men he sincerely entrusted legislative power to bring his beloved Three Nations to final Settlement of Government as much as did your Editor.
“And now having said this, I have discharged my duty to God and to you, in making this demonstration,—and I profess, not as a rhetorician! My business was to prove the verity of the Designs from Abroad; and the still unsatisfied spirits of the Cavaliers at Home,—how from the beginning of our Peace to this day have not been wanting to do what they could to kindle a fire at home in the midst of us. [The Jesuits, via their many stealthy agents, are presently at this very work of fomenting domestic insurrection and civil war in the midst of us Americans.---EJP] And I say, if this be so, the truth,—I pray God affect your hearts with a due sense of it! [Yea!---Carlyle] And give you one heart and mind to carry-on this work for which we are met together! If these things be so,—should you meet tomorrow, and accord in all things tending to your preservation and your rights and liberties, really it will be feared there is too much time elapsed ‘already’ for your delivering yourselves from those dangers that hang upon you!—[Such is the case also, presently here in America!---EJP]
“We have had not Six Years of Peace [1651-1657---EJP], and have had an interruption of Ten Years War [1642-1651---EJP]. We have seen and heard and felt the evils of War; and now God hath given us a new taste of the benefits of Peace. Have you not had such a Peace in England, Ireland and Scotland, that there is not a man to lift up his finger to put you into distemper? Is not this a mighty blessing from the Lord of Heaven? Shall we now be prodigal of time? Should any man, shall we, listen to delusions, to break and interrupt this Peace? There is not any man that hath been true to this Cause, as I believe you have been all, who can look for anything but the greatest rending and persecution that ever was in this world! [Peppery Scott's hot head will go up on Temple Bar, and Haselrig will do well to die soon.---Carlyle]—I wonder how it can enter into the heart of man to undervalue these things; to slight Peace and the Gospel, the greatest mercy of God. We have Peace and the Gospel! [What a tone!---Carlyle] Let us have one heart and soul; one mind to maintain the honest and just rights of this Nation;—not to pretend to them, to the destruction of our Peace, to the destruction of the Nation! [As yet there is one Hero-heart among you, ye blustering contentious rabble; one Soul blazing as a light-beacon in the midst of Chaos, forbidding Chaos yet to be supreme. In a little while that too will be extinct; and then!---Carlyle] Really, pretend what we will, if you run into another flood of blood and War, the sinews of this Nation being wasted by the last, it must sink and perish utterly. I beseech you, and charge you in the name and presence of God, and as before Him, be sensible of these things and lay them to heart! You have a Day of Fasting coming on. I beseech God touch your hearts and open your ears to this truth; and that you may be as deaf adders to stop your ears to all Dissension! And may look upon them ‘who would sow dissension,’ whoever they may be, as Paul saith to the Church of Corinth, as I remember: “Mark such as cause divisions and offences,” [Romans 16:17---EJP] and would disturb you from that foundation of Peace you are upon, under any pretence whatsoever!—
“I shall conclude with this. I was free, the last time of our meeting, to tell you I would discourse upon a Psalm; and I did it. I am not ashamed of it at any time—especially when I meet with men of such consideration as you. There you have one verse which I forgot.
“I will hear what God the Lord will speak: for He will speak peace “unto His people and to His saints; but let them not turn again to “folly.” [Psalm 85:8; AV1611---EJP]
“Dissension, division, destruction, in a poor Nation under a Civil War,—having all the effects of a Civil War upon it! Indeed if we return againg to “folly,” let every man consider, If it be not like turning to destruction? If God shall unite your hearts and bless you, and give you the blessing of union and love one to another; and tread-down everyting that rieseth up in your hearts and tendeth to deceive your own souls with pretences of this thing or that, as we have been saying,—[The Sentence began as a positive, "If God shall;" but gradually turning on its axis, it has now got quite round into the negative side (for the Protector knows this Parliament will continue its path of stalling inaction thereby favoring internal strife, civil war and ultimate foreign invasion by that "Cain" of previous mention, Charles Stuart II)---Carlyle (EJP)],—and not prefer the keeping of Peace, that we may see the fruit of righteousness in them that love peace and embrace peace,—it will be said of this poor Nation, Actum est de Anglia, ‘It is all over with England‘!
“But I trust God will never leave it to such a spirit. And while I live, and am able, I shall be ready—
[Courage, my brave one! Thou has but some Seven Months more of it, and then the ugly coil is all over; and thy part in it manfully done; manfully and fruitfully, to all Eternity! Peppery Scott's hot head can mount to Temple Bar, whither it is bound; and England, with immense expenditure of liquor and tar-barrels, can call-in its Nell-Gwynn Defender of the Faith---(Actress Eleanor Nell-Gwynn was the mistress of serial adulterer King Charles II, he practicing the standard sexual immorality of most Roman Catholic royals. Upon that damnable "Restoration" in 1660, a national party-fest ensued for days with accompanying drunkenness and adultery on every hand. When it came to punishment of those in opposition to the Jesuit-tutored Stuart devil, many were tarred and feathered---a favorite humiliation of the restored king, now Rome's "Defender of the Faith."), ---and make out a very notable Two-hundred Years under his guidance (that is, from 1660 to 1860 under the Stuart/Hanoverian British Monarchy, Hanoverian Queen Victoria reigning at the time of Carlyle's writing); and, finding itself now nearly got to the Devil (under secret Jesuit rule), may perhaps pause, and recoil, and remember: who knows? Nay who cares? may Oliver say. He is honourably quit of it, he for one; and the Supreme Powers will guide it farther according to their pleasure (aye, the Risen Son of God at the right hand of His Father in Heaven will enforce His law of "sowing and reaping" as it pertains to nations, especially to the Jesuit-ruled Hanoverian royals King George III, King George IV and Queen Victoria)---Carlyle (EJP)].
“—I shall be ready to stand and fall with you, in this seemingly promising Union [new Frame of Government---Carlyle] which God hath wrought among you, which I hope neither the pride nor envy of men shall be able to make void. I have taken my Oath [In Westminster Hall, Twenty-sixth of June last (1657)] to govern “according to the Laws” that are now made; and I trust I shall fully answer it. And know, I sought not this place. [Who would have "sought" it, that could have as nobly avoided it? Very scurvy creatures only. The "place" is no great things, I think;---with either Heaven or else Hell so close upon the rear of it, a man might do without the "place"! Know all men, Oliver Cromwell did not seek this place, but was sought to it, and led and driven to it, by the Necessities, the Divine Providences, the Eternal Laws.---Carlyle] I speak it before God, Angels, and Men: I DID NOT. You sought me for it, you brought me to it; and I took my Oath to be faithful to the Interest of these Nations, to be faithful to the Government. All those things were implied, in my eye, in the Oath “to be faithful to this Government” upon which we have now met. And I trust, by the grace of God, as I have taken my Oath to serve this Commonwealth on such an account, I shall,—I must!—see it done, according to the Articles of Government. That every just Interest may be preserved; that a Godly Ministry may be upheld, and not affronted by seducing and seduced spirits; that all men may be preserved in their just rights, whether civil or spiritual. Upon this account did I take oath, and swear to this Government!—[And mean to continue administering it withal.---Carlyle]—And so having declared my heart and mind to you in this, I have nothing more to say, but to pray, God Almighty bless you.”

End of Part 4 of 4
Cromwell: Warning to Parliament 1658 Pt3
Cromwell: Warning to Parliament on Domestic and Foreign Affairs, 1658; Pt. 3 of 4
Oliver Cromwell, Defender of the Faith
Having concluded his warning of a foreign, Jesuit-led “Design” against the Commonwealth, our beloved Oliver Cromwell turns to domestic affairs. The Protector mentions a multitude of divisions among the Three Nations, both theological and political, these intolerant factions being most beneficial to the Pope’s plot of inciting insurrection and rebellion. As previously stated, Cromwell has proven the Socialist-Communist, Commoner “Levelers” and the Cartel-Capitalist, Noble-born “Cavaliers” work together—as they do today! This damnable, conspired national anarchy shortly to erupt in massive bloodshed, while Jesuit Temporal Coadjutor Charles Stuart II lands in England with Spanish horse and foot, Oliver seeks to thwart. He encourages this Second Protectorate Parliament (stifled from taking action by a few, key Jesuit Coadjutors in its midst) to act quickly and decisively. For only days separate the demise of this most wondrous Protestant political citadel of hope, defending “freedom of conscience” for the Risen Son of God’s Reformation English Bible-believing people, from bloody fire, sword and canon of the Pope’s foreign invaders. If the Parliament will not act, HE WILL.
“If this be the condition of your affairs abroad, I pray a little consider what is the estate of your affairs at home. And if both these considerations, ‘of home affairs and foreign,’ have but this effect, to get a consideration among you, a due and just consideration,—let God move your hearts for the answering of anything that shall be due unto the Nation, as He shall please! And I hope I shall not be solicitous; I shall look up to Him who hath been my God and my Guide hitherto.
“I say, I beseech you look to your own affairs at home, how they stand! I am persuaded you are all, I apprehend you are all, honest and worthy good men; and that there is not a man of you but would desire to be found a good patriot. [Reformation Bible-believing Protestant and Baptist-Calvinist men are patriots, in fact, the foremost of all patriots on earth. We defend our sovereign nations if it costs us our last penny and our last drop of blood. We utterly repudiate the Pope's Temporal Power, that duplicitous usurpation of the authority of the Risen Lord Jesus Christ, upon which heresy the Jesuits have plotted the end of all nations defended by patriotic nationalists. To impose Rome's internationalism---its Satanic world government defended by "International Versions" of Rome's Latin Vulgate-based, false bibles (NIV)---all nationalists must be "terminated," especially patriotic nationalists of conscience, and most importantly, White Reformation Bible-believing patriotic nationalists!---EJP] I know you would! We are apt to boast sometimes that we are Englishmen, and seek the real good of this Nation, and the interest of it.—But, I beseech you, what is our case at home?— —I profess I do not well know where to begin on this head, or where to end,—I do not.
“But I must needs say, Let a man begin where he will, he shall hardly be out of that drift I am speaking to you ‘upon.’ We are as full of calamities, and of divisions among us in respect of the spirits of men, ‘as we could well be,’—though, through a wonderful, admirable, and never to be sufficiently admired providence of God, ‘still’ in peace! And the fighting we have had, and the success we have had—yea, we that are here, we are an astonishment to the world! And take us in that temper we are in, or rather in that distemper, it is the greatest miracle that ever befell the sons of men, ‘that we are got again to peace’—that we are got again to peace. And whoever shall seek to break it, God Almighty root that man our of this Nation! And He will do it, let the pretences be what they may!
“‘Peacekeepers, do they consider what it is they are driving towards? They should do it!’ He that considereth not the “woman with child,”—the sucking children of this Nation that know not the right hand from the left, of whom, for aught I know, it may be said this City is as full as Nineveh was said to be;—he that considereth not these, and the fruit that is like to come of the bodies of those now living added to these; he that considereth not these, must have the heart of a Cain; who was marked, and made to be an enemy to all men, and all men enemies to him! For the wrath and justice of God will prosecute such a man to his grave, if not Hell!—I say, look on this Nation; look on it! Consider what are the varieties of Interests in this Nation,—if they be worthy the name of Interests. If God did not hinder, it would all but make up one confusion. We should find there would be but one Cain in England, if God did not restrain! We should have another more bloody Civil War than ever we had in England. For, I beseech you, what is the general spirit of this Nation? Is it not that each sect of people,—if I may call them sects, whether sects upon a Religious account or upon a Civil account—[Sentence gone; meaning left clear enough---Carlyle]—Is not this Nation miserable in this respect? What is that which possesseth every sect? What is it? That every sect may be uppermost! That every sort of men may get the power into their hands, and “they would use it well;”—that every sect may get the power into their hands! [A reflection to make one wonder.---Let them thank God they have got a man able to bit and bridle them a little; the unfortunate, peppery, loud-babbling individuals,---with so much good in them too, while 'bitted'!---Carlyle]
“It were a happy thing if the Nation would be content with rule. ‘Content with rule,’ if it were but in Civil things, and with those that would rule worst;—because misrule is better than no rule; and an ill Government, a bad Government, is better than none!—Neither is this all: but we have an appetite to variety; to be not only making wounds, ‘but widening those already made.’ As if you should see one making wounds in a man’s side, and eager only to be groping and grovelling with his fingers in those wounds! This is what ‘such’ men would be at; this is the spirit of those who would trample on men’s liberties in Spiritual respects [specifically, first Romanists, then Anglicans and then Presbyterians, all vying to be the State Church of England. It is for this reason the Presbyterians of Scotland sided with Charles II, he "promising" the Scots the State-Church status if they would but help him defeat Cromwell, a promise crypto-Roman Catholic Charles never intended to keep with "heretics." This alliance necessitated Cromwell's invasion and defeat of Scotland first at Dunbar and finally at Worcester, 1651---EJP]. They will be making wounds, and rending and tearing, and making them wider than they were. Is not this the case? Doth there want anything—I speak not of sects [Bible-reading Christian sects---EJP] in an ill sense; but the Nation is hugely made up of them,—and what is the want that prevents these things from being done to the uttermost but that men have more anger than strength? They have not power to attain their ends. ‘There wants nothing else.’ And, I beseech you, judge what such a company of men, of these sects, are doing, while they are contesting one with another! They are contesting in the midst of a generation of men (a malignant Episcopal Party, I mean); contesting in the midst of these all united. What must be the issue of such a thing as this? ‘So stands it;’ it is so.—And do not judge what proofs have been made of the spirits of these men. Summoning men to take up arms; and exhorting men, each sort of them, to fight for their notions; each sort thinking they are to try it out by the sword; and every sort thinking that they are truly under the banner of Christ, if they but come in, and bind themselves in such a project!
[This is the very reason why your Editor seeks to establish a new White Protestant and Baptist nation somewhere within Pennsylvania, New York or New England practicing no amalgamation of races; a new nation having learned from the failure of Cromwell's White Republic of the Commonwealth of England, Scotland and Ireland (1649-1660) and having learned from the failure of Washington's White Federal Republic of these United States of America (1789-1868); a new nation separate from Washington, Rome's District of Columbia, where only racially White, Reformation Bible-believing Christian sects from around the world are welcome; a new nation in which these Christian sects agree on the essential, fundamental Christian doctrines (i.e., only the New and Old Testament Holy Scriptures being the final authority for Biblical faith and practice; the Biblical Triune One God; the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ; the death, burial and resurrection of Messiah Jesus of Nazareth; the Second Coming of Christ; salvation by grace through faith via the preaching of the Gospel; justification by faith alone; forgiveness of sins through blood redemption of Christ; utter repudiation of and absolute religious and political separation from Mystery Babylon Religion now centered in the Antichrist Pope of Rome leading his Jesuit-ruled Vatican Empire; and non-persecution of the racial Hebrew/Jewish/Israelites who may voluntarily live within our new nation that we may enjoy God's blessing of Genesis 12:1-3); a new nation that has secured religious freedom/freedom of conscience for these non-Roman Catholic, Christian sects alone; a new nation that, with nearly the same words of the "Baptist First Amendment" to the U.S. Constitution, separates any organized, Christian Church denomination from the duly-constituted Government of our new Sovereign Nation-State of "ProBaptiCal (composed of Protestants, Baptists and Calvinists!); a new nation that utterly outlaws and condemns the public or private promotion of any sort of government-mandated secular religion such as Evolution, Humanism, Socialism or Communism! The White people and their sects of this new nation are Christian; the government is not Christian (rightly stated by George Washington and John Adams concerning the First American Government (1789-1868) in the American Treaty of Tripoli (1797), i.e., the government is NOT united with a specific Protestant Christian Church, the Baptist distinctive of true "Separation of Church and State" being part of the new nation's written Constitution). Yet the government, manned by Bible-believing Christian people, promotes the reading of Reformation Bibles in all languages while its governing powers are specifically limited by the nation's written Constitution reflecting Christian principles championed by the the anti-divine right, White Protestant Reformation fine-tuned by historically non-persecuting, White Independent Baptist-Calvinists.---EJP]
“Now do but judge what a hard condition this poor Nation is in. This is the state and condition we are in. Judge, I say, what a hard condition this poor Nation is in, and the [condition the---EJP] Cause of God ‘is in,’—amidst such a party of men as the Cavaliers are, and their participants! Not only with respect to what these—["Cavaliers and their Participants," both equally at first, but it becomes the latter chiefly, and at length exclusively, before the Sentence ends]—are like to do of themselves: but some of these, yea some of these, they care not who carry the goal [Frantic-Anabaptist Sexby, dead the other day, he was not very careful!---Carlyle]:—some if these have invited the Spaniard himself to carry on the Cavalier Cause.
“And this is true. ‘This’ and many other things that are not fit to be suggested unto you; because ‘so’ we should betray the interest of our intelligence. [Spy-Royalist Sir Richard Willis and the like ambiguous persons, if we show them in daylight, they vanish forever,---as Manning, when they shot him in Newburg, did.---Carlyle] I say, this is our condition! What is your defence? What hindereth the irruption of all this upon you, to your utter destruction? Truly, ‘that’ you have an army in these parts,—in Scotland, in England and Ireland. Take them away tomorrow, would not all these Interests run into one another?—I know you are rational prudent men. Have you any Frame or Model of things that would satisfy the minds of men, if this be not the Frame, ‘this’ which you are now called together upon, and engaged in,—I mean, the Two Houses of Parliament and myself? What hinders this Nation from being an Aceldama, ‘a field of blood,’ if this doth not? It is, without doubt, ‘this:’ give glory to God; for without this, it would prove as great a plague as all that hath been spoken of. It is this, without doubt, that keeps this Nation in peace and quietness. — And what is the case of our Army ‘withal’? A poor unpaid Army; the soldiers going barefoot at this time, in this city, this weather! [Twenty-fifth of January.---Carlyle] And yea a peaceable people, ‘these soldiers;’ seeking to serve you with their lives; judging their pains and hazards and all well bestowed, in obeying their officers and serving you, to keep the Peace of these Nations! Yea, he must be a man with a heart as hard as the weather who hath not a due sense of this! [A severe frost, though the Almanacs do not mention it.---Carlyle]
So that, I say, it is most plain and evident, this is your outward and present defence. [This frame of Government; the Army is part of that.---Carlyle] And yet, at this day,—do but you judge! The Cavalier Party, and the several humours of unreasonable men ‘of other sorts,’ in those several ways, having ‘continually’ made battery at this defence ever since you got to enjoy peace—[Sentence catches fire---Carlyle]— — What have they made their business but this, To spread libellous Books [Their "Standard," "Killing no Murder" (the doctrine of the Jesuit Order's Moral "Immoral" Theologians), and other little fiddling things belonging to that sort of Periodical Literature---Carlyle (EJP)]; yea and pretend the “Liberty of the Subject”—[Sentence gone again---Carlyle]—?—which really wiser men that they may pretend! For let me say this to you at once: I never look to see the People of England come into a just Liberty, if another ‘Civil’ War overtake us. I think, ‘I’ at least, that the thing likely to bring us into our “Liberty” is a consistency and agreement at this Meeting!—Therefore all I can say to you is this: It will be your wisdom, I do think truly, and your justice, to keep that concernment close to you; to uphold this Settlement ‘now fallen-upon.’ Which I have no cause but to think you are agreed to; and that you like it. For I assure you I am very greatly mistaken else, ‘for my own part;’ having taken this which is now the Settlement among us as my chief inducement to bear the burden I bear [as the Defender of the Protestant Faith---EJP], and to serve the Commonwealth in the place I am in [as as the Protector of the Commonwealth---EJP]!
“And therefore if you judge that all this be not argument enough to persuade you to be sensible of your danger—?— ‘A danger’ which ‘all manner of considerations,’ besides goodnature and ingenuity ‘themselves,’ would move a stone to be sensible of !—Give us leave to consider a little, What will become of us, if our spirits should go otherwise, ‘and break this Settlement’? If our spirits be dissatisfied, what will become of things? Here is an Army five or six months behind in pay; yea, an Army in Scotland near as much ‘behind;’ an Army in Ireland much more. And if these things be considered,—I cannot doubt that they will be considered;—I say, judge what the state of Ireland is if free-quarter come upon the Irish people! [Free-quarter must come, if there be no pay provided, and that soon! ( For the Jesuit Coadjutors within Parliament have deliberately withheld voting pay to the Army so as to incite martial revolt---thereby breaking Cromwell's power---further contributing to the general insurrection necessary for a successful foreign invasion led by Charles II)---Carlyle (EJP)] You have a company of Scots in the North of Ireland, ‘Forty or Fifty thousand of them settle there;’ who, I hope, are honest men. In the Province of Galway almost all the Irish, transplanted to the West. [During World War II, Irish Roman Catholic Galway was a Nazi stronghold, and some English intelligence officers believed that if Nazis were to invade Great Britain during Hitler's plotted "Operation Sea Lion," U-Boats would be deployed to Galway harbor.---EJP] You have the Interest of England newly begun to be planted. The people there, ‘in these English settlements,’ are full of necessities and complaints. They bear to the uttermost. And should the soldiers run upon free-quarter there,—upon your English Planters, as they must,—the English Planters must quit the country through mere beggary [as intended by the anti-Protestant Jesuits, they seeking to keep Ireland for the Irish Roman Catholics in anticipation of "Irish Independence" attempted by Jesuit Coadjutor Napoleon Bonaparte and later achieved, with aid from the Order's British Crown, in 1923.---EJP]: and that which hath been the success of so much blood and treasure, to get that Country into your hands, what can become of it, but that the English must needs run away for pure beggary, and the Irish must possess the country ‘again’ for a receptacle to the Spanish Interest?—
“And hath Scotland been long settled? [Middleton's Highland Insurrection, with its Mosstroopery and misery, is not dead three years yet.---Carlyle] Have not they a like sense of poverty? I speak plainly. In good earnest, I do think the Scots Nation have been under as great a suffering, in point of livelihood and subsistence outwardly, as any People I have yet named to you. I do think truly they are a very ruined Nation. [Torn to pieces with now near Twenty Years of continual War, and foreign and intestine worrying with themselves and with all the world.---Carlyle] And yet in a way (I have spoken with some Gentlemen come from thence) hopeful enough;—it hath pleased God to give that plentiful encouragement to the meaner sort in Scotland. I must say, if it please God to encourage the meaner sort—The meaner sort ‘in Scotland’ live as well, and are likely to come into a thriving a condition under our Government, as when they were under their own great Lords, who made them work for their living no better than the Peasants of France. I am loath to speak anything which may reflect upon that Nation: but the middle sort of people [the Middle Class born out of the Protestant Reformation---EJP] do grow up there into such a substance as makes their lives comfortable, if not better than they were before. [Scotland is prospering; has fair-play and ready-money;---prospering though sulky.---Carlyle]
“If now, after all this, we shall not be sensible of all those designs that are in the midst of us: of the united Cavaliers; of the designs which are animated every day from Flanders and Spain; while we have to look upon ourselves as a divided people—[Sentence off---Carlyle]—A man cannot certainly tell where to find consistency anywhere in England! Certainly there is no consistency in anything, that may be worthy of the name of a body of consistency, but in this Company who are met here! How can any man lay his hand on his heart, and ‘permit himself to’ talk of things [Roots of Constitutional Government, "Other House," "House of Lords" and suchlike (while the country is about to be invaded)---Carlyle (EJP)], [irrelevant things---EJP] neither to be made out by the light of Scripture nor of Reason; and draw one another off from considering these things,— ‘which are very palpable things’! I dare leave them with you, and commit them to your bosom. They have a weight,—a greater weight than any I have yet suggested to you, from abroad or at home! If such be our case abroad and at home, That our Being and Well-being,—our Well-being is not worth the naming comparatively,—I say, if such be our case, of our Being at home and abroad, That through want to bear up our Honour at Sea, and through want to maintain what is our Defence at Home, ‘we stand exposed to such dangers;’ and if through our mistake we shall be led off from the consideration of these things [concerning England's survival as a Protestant nation---EJP]; and talk of circumstantial things, and quarrel about circumstances; and shall not with heart and soul intend and carry-on these things—!—I confess I can look for nothing ‘other,’ I can say no other than what a foolish Book expresseth [a pamphlet of the day---EJP], of one that, having consulted everything, could hold to nothing; neither Fifth-Monarchy, Presbytery, nor Independency, nothing; but at length concludes, He is for nothing but an “orderly confusion”! And for men that have wonderfully lost their consciences and their wits,—I speak of men going about who cannot tell what they would have, yet are willing to kindle coals to disturb others—! [An "orderly confusion," and general fire-consumption: what else is possible?---Carlyle]
[The Protector concludes this section of his speech to a Parliament hell-bent on inciting domestic rebellion by pretending to legislate, but in fact accomplishing nothing---as intended by the Jesuit Order! Presently in early April of 2011, we see a similar situation within the American Congress, the Republican-led House of Representatives passing a budget bill to "fund the government," but the Democratic-led Senate rejecting it outright. Is not the American Congress pretending to legislate but, in fact, doing nothing thereby furthering the growing "New Right," White Fascist Tea Party Movement born out of legitimate grievances perpetrated over the last 80 years, beginning with the reign of President Franklin D. Roosevelt (1933-1945) constantly advised by Georgetown University Jesuit Priest, Edmund A. Walsh?---EJP]

World More Than 1,000 Shot and Hacked to Death in Ivory Coast Town
JOHANNESBURG (AP) — The Roman Catholic charity Caritas says more than 1,000 people were massacred in a western Ivory Coast town.
The U.N. mission in Ivory Coast says it has nearly 1,000 peacekeepers in Duekoue but no information of mass killings.
Spokesman Patrick Nicholson told The Associated Press that Caritas workers visited the town of Duekoue on Wednesday. He says one neighborhood was filled with bodies of victims killed by gunshots and hacked to death with machetes.
He says the workers “estimate over 1,000 killed.”
The International Federation of the Red Cross said more than 800 were killed there in “intercommunal violence,” apparently Tuesday. The town had been seized a day earlier by rebels moving south in a bid to oust the entrenched incumbent leader.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP’s earlier story is below.
JOHANNESBURG (AP) — More than 800 people have been massacred in a western Ivory Coast town where hundreds of U.N. peacekeepers are based, the International Committee of the Red Cross said Saturday, but the U.N. military spokesman said he has no information about mass killings there.
The government of internationally recognized President Alassane Ouattara meanwhile denied its forces were involved in any atrocities including in western Ivory Coast, without referring to the latest allegations. Previously, the United Nations put the toll at 492 from four months of fighting to install rival leaders following disputed November elections.
Col. Chaib Rais told The Associated Press that nearly 1,000 peacekeepers at Duekoue, the town where the killings allegedly occurred, “are protecting the Catholic Church with more than 10,000 (refugees) inside and we have military camps in the area.”
But he said “I have no special report of (mass killings).”
Rais said there was fighting in and around the town on Sunday and Monday, between forces loyal to the rival leaders.
On Monday, fighters loyal to Ouattara took Duekoue.
ICRC spokeswoman Dorothea Krimitsas said “communal violence” erupted there, apparently on Tuesday.
International and Ivorian Red Cross teams visited Duekoue Friday and saw a “huge number of bodies,” estimated at more than 800, she said.
“We think there is a risk that this kind of event can happen again and hope that by calling today again for protection for the civilian population, we hope that such events can be avoided in the future,” Krimitsas told The Associated Press by phone from Geneva.
The area has been a hotbed for conflict between two tribes that support rival leaders vying for power in Ivory Coast, the democratically elected Ouattara and incumbent Laurent Gbagbo, who refuses to accept his defeat at November elections held after numerous postponements.
The International Organization of Migration said Friday that tens of thousands of refugees have overcrowded Duekoue and that others who had fled the violence in Duekoue “are now stranded along the route, in fear for their lives.”
It said some of those slaughtered apparently were killed by “mercenaries” from nearby Liberia. Liberian mercenaries have been reported to be fighting for both Gbagbo and Ouattara.
The Roman Catholic bishop for the area, the Right Rev. Gaspard Beby Gneba of Man, said he was called by a priest from Guigloo, a town near Duekoue that also is sheltering refugees. He said the priest told him refugees were dying and that they were burying two people Saturday.
Gneba said tensions in the area are a mixture of political, ethnic and land rivalry, aggravated by the influx of tens of thousands of new Ivorian refugees and long-established refugees from neighboring Liberia. In January, an unknown number of people were killed in violence in which some homes were torched and others looted, he said.
Gneba said more than 30,000 refugees had flooded the town of about 50,000 since January. Many are being sheltered at the Salesian priests’ Mission of St. Theresa of the Baby Jesus.
“There’s a traumatic humanitarian situation there,” Gneba said. “They need everything: food, medicine, water, sanitation. People have lost everything, houses, clothes, they do not even have a mat to sleep on.”
Rais, the U.N. colonel, said there are nearly 400 peacekeepers based at Guigloo who were doing what they could to help with water and food.
Ouattara’s government, in a general statement Saturday responding to allegations of abuses by Amnesty International, blamed any killings on Gbagbo forces acting as they retreated.
Ouattara had long tried to distance himself from the northern-based fighters taking up his cause who fought in a brief civil war almost a decade ago that left the country split in two. Those fighters were accused of many atrocities at the time.
But Ouattara’s repeated calls for an international military intervention to force out Gbagbo and end the violence have gone unheeded and he appeared to change tack as the fighters, known as the “Republican Forces,” this week began a swift advance on Abidjan.
“The government firmly rejects these accusations and denies all implication of the Republican Forces of Ivory Coast in any possible violations,” a government statement said Saturday.
Human Rights Watch issued a statement Saturday saying it had documented abuses, with the vast majority perpetrated by forces loyal to Gbagbo against real or perceived Ouattara supporters, as well as against West African immigrants and Muslims.
“The documented abuses include targeted killings, enforced disappearances, politically motivated rapes, and unlawful use of lethal force against unarmed demonstrators,” the statement said. “These abuses, committed over a four-month period by security forces under the control of Gbagbo and militias loyal to him, may rise to the level of crimes against humanity.”
It was not immediately possible to reach Gbagbo or his ministers.
But the New York-based organization said atrocities committed by pro-Ouattara forces also could amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity, including three detainees burned alive and four whose throats were slit, all in Abidjan.
“Human Rights Watch has also received credible reports of abuses committed when Ouattara’s forces took control of several towns in western (Ivory Coast),” it said.
In one village near Abidjan, the statement said, at least nine civilians were killed “in an apparent case of collective punishment against alleged civilian supporters of Gbagbo.”
It added, “The killing of civilians by pro-Ouattara forces, at times with apparent ethnic or political motivation, also risks becoming a crime against humanity should it become widespread or systematic.”
Cannibalism is a Dish Served Pipin’ Hot
World Cannibalism is a Dish Served Pipin’ Hot in Papua New Guinea
“Here’s a topic you can feast on,” Megyn Kelly jokes, “cannibalism!”
But that’s no laughing matter to members of a New Guinea tribe.
Especially the ones who have been eaten by other tribe members.
In a special set to air on National Geographic on Sunday called “Eating With Cannibals,” explorer Piers Gibbon seeks to explain to viewers what motivates members of a Papua New Guinea tribe to kill and eat other human beings. After living among tribal members for a month, he found out that justice is what drives these people to cannibalism. He spoke to Megyn Kelly today about his experience:
Here’s Mediaite‘s take on it:
He discussed a tribe in Papua New Guinea that eat other human beings as a form of justice. He explains that this group kills, and then consumes, those whom they believe have caused harm on their village in the form of, say, “causing” an illness. According to Gibbs, this happens because the tribes people no longer see the suspected culprit as being human, but a witch who much be destroyed.
“How often does this happen?” asked a visibly concerned Kelly. “This is not something that happens all the time,” Gibbon responded. “And, for them, it would be something maybe once every six months, they would…” Kelly interrupted him with the rather emphatic observation that “That’s often enough!”
Ok, ok, but let’s get down to the morbid, sensational, chilling nitty gritty: What do people taste like? Are we more filet mignon or filet o’fish? According to Gibbon, the tribe claims people meat is “rather delicious.”
Delicious and illegal, kids, so don’t get any ideas.
Yikes.
