This very special MALE & FEMALE thread
celebrates Heaven’s original blueprint for
both the male and the female genders.
An African Cardinal Speaks
I believe this Cardinal, Robert Sarah, brings a beautiful moral clarity to many of the topics discussed here at Wolf’s Q Treehouse, but let’s to focus on the gender issue for a moment.
Cardinal Sarah, Prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship, says that the spiritual crisis that currently blights “the whole world” has its roots in Europe, because Europe has rejected God:
“Western people are convinced that receiving is contrary to the dignity of human persons. But civilised man is fundamentally an heir, he receives a history, a culture, a language, a name, a family. This is what distinguishes him from the barbarian. To refuse to be inscribed within a network of dependence, heritage, and filiation condemns us to go back naked into the jungle of a competitive economy left to its own devices. Because he refuses to acknowledge himself as an heir, man is condemned to the hell of liberal globalisation.”
Cardinal Sarah links this idea of the rejection of humanity’s inheritance to another that he says is at the root of current malaise: the rejection, in the West, of the idea of fatherhood.
The two rejections, he explains, are intimately bound up with our rejection of God.
“From Him we receive our nature as man and woman. This is intolerable to modern minds. Gender ideology is a Luciferian refusal to receive a sexual nature from God. Thus some rebel against God and pointlessly mutilate themselves in order to change their sex. But in reality they do not fundamentally change anything of their structure as man or woman. The West refuses to receive, and will accept only what it constructs for itself.”
He continues: “Because it is a gift from God, human nature itself becomes unbearable for western man… This revolt is spiritual at root. It is the revolt of Satan against the gift of grace.”
We ignore the gift of grace found in gender differences to our great loss.
However, I’d like to redirect our attention to something else about the Divine blueprint. There are two versions of the creation story in the book of Genesis. The first is more like a requirements specification, the second is more like an elaboration process.
So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
18 Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is just right for him.”19 So the Lord God formed from the ground all the wild animals and all the birds of the sky. He brought them to the man to see what he would call them, and the man chose a name for each one.20 He gave names to all the livestock, all the birds of the sky, and all the wild animals. But still there was no helper just right for him. 21 So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep. While the man slept, the Lord God took out one of the man’s ribs and closed up the opening.22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib, and he brought her to the man. 23 “At last!” the man exclaimed.
“This one is bone from my bone, and flesh from my flesh! She will be called ‘woman,’ because she was taken from ‘man.’”
24 This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.
25 Now the man and his wife were both naked, but they felt no shame. — Genesis 2:18-25
Have you ever considered that Wolf’s famous BOTH logic applies to God? In the first reference the term human beings (Hebrew ’ādām) is the generic term for humankind and does not imply gender. In the blueprint, humankind is created in the image of God, BOTH male and female. To truly defend and honor gender, we must first respect this reality. There is the biology AND the spirituality.
John Eldredge’s writing have captured the power of celebrating the qualities of gender for the most recent generation. And recently a theologian has pointed out that section in that corresponds to the governmental portion of the Mosaic law in the Ten Commandments is, “honor your father AND your mother.” Talk about revolutionary. There have been patriarchal cultures and matriarchal cultures, but a culture of honor for BOTH???
What if we’ve been duped into looking at the wrong thing (again). What if true leadership and authority and inner peace flow out of embracing the partnership of two very powerful and very different genders, BOTH made in the image of God?
To be honest, I’m just scratching the surface of what feels like an intense and very deep reality here. I don’t think I’m even close to where we need to be on this. There is something here that we must understand in order to prevail in the culture/spiritual war we are dealing with. But it seems this needs to be put out there for discussion.
This very special DESPAIR & DISILLUSIONMENT thread
commemorates the greatest psy-op ever
attempted against Heaven’s beloved, mankind.
Think’s Thoughts
Imagine being Peter, seeing the miracles, the honor given to his teacher, the wild popularity with the people, and then, Jesus explains all of this is going to change.
31 He then began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and after three days rise again. 32 He spoke plainly about this, and Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. 33 But when Jesus turned and looked at his disciples, he rebuked Peter. “Get behind me, Satan!” he said. “You do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.”
Peter feels he must help his teacher out. Jesus must be tired and have made a mistake. It’s hard to imagine the intensity of the sting of that rebuke from Jesus. Peter, soon to be the rock of the church, had been the mouthpiece of satan? Ouch.
But Jesus then pivots and turns this into a teaching moment Peter would never forget.
The Way of the Cross
34 Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.35 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it. 36 What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?37 Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?38 If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.”
And then the ministry starts to get really busy. I wonder if Peter forgot those words in the whirlwind of activity, or did he in quiet moments would revisit that stinging encounter and try to make sense of it all?
Later on, Jesus would tell the parable of the tenants.
“A man planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a pit for the winepress and built a watchtower. Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and moved to another place.2 At harvest time he sent a servant to the tenants to collect from them some of the fruit of the vineyard.3 But they seized him, beat him and sent him away empty-handed.4 Then he sent another servant to them; they struck this man on the head and treated him shamefully.5 He sent still another, and that one they killed. He sent many others; some of them they beat, others they killed.
6 “He had one left to send, a son, whom he loved. He sent him last of all, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ 7 “But the tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’8 So they took him and killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard.
Then, in Bethany, a woman pours a very expensive perfume on Jesus’ head, scandalizing all present, excepting Jesus. Again Jesus patiently explains what is coming.
6 “Leave her alone,” said Jesus. “Why are you bothering her? She has done a beautiful thing to me.7 The poor you will always have with you, and you can help them any time you want. But you will not always have me. 8 She did what she could. She poured perfume on my body beforehand to prepare for my burial.9 Truly I tell you, wherever the gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her.” Mark 14:6-9
This is when Judas snapped. He’d been following a madman. How could the Son of God be talking of defeat and death this way?
But Jesus did indeed suffer humiliation, torture, and death. Afterwards his closest disciples are ashamed at their lack of courage and in deep grief. His betrayer, Judas, hangs himself in despair.
The disciples of Jesus have taken a gut punch. The women following Jesus have proven to have much more courage than the men. What embarrassment! The only leadership shown was by Joseph of Arimathea, not in the inner circle at all, who boldly goes to Pilate and asks for the body of Jesus and gave some dignity to him in his death.
The disillusionment stung. The grief nearly unbearable. Such a dark fog of evil swirling around them, that they can’t even remember the promise he gave to rise on the third day.
This very special PASSOVER REFLECTIONS thread
honors the ancient tradition
of commemorating the deliverance of the Jewish people
from slavery in Egypt.
Pesach (Passover) is April 19 – April 27, 2019
Passover Reflections
21-22 Moses assembled all the elders of Israel. He said, “Select a lamb for your families and slaughter the Passover lamb. Take a bunch of hyssop and dip it in the bowl of blood and smear it on the lintel and on the two doorposts. No one is to leave the house until morning. God will pass through to strike Egypt down.
23 When he sees the blood on the lintel and the two doorposts, God will pass over the doorway; he won’t let the destroyer enter your house to strike you down with ruin.
24-27 “Keep this word. It’s the law for you and your children, forever. When you enter the land which God will give you as he promised, keep doing this. And when your children say to you, ‘Why are we doing this?’ tell them: ‘It’s the Passover-sacrifice to God who passed over the homes of the Israelites in Egypt when he hit Egypt with death but rescued us.’”
28 The Israelites then went and did what God had commanded Moses and Aaron. They did it all.
29 At midnight God struck every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sits on his throne, right down to the firstborn of the prisoner locked up in jail. Also the firstborn of the animals.
30 Pharaoh got up that night, he and all his servants and everyone else in Egypt—what wild wailing and lament in Egypt! There wasn’t a house in which someone wasn’t dead.
31-32 Pharaoh called in Moses and Aaron that very night and said, “Get out of here and be done with you—you and your Israelites! Go worship God on your own terms. And yes, take your sheep and cattle as you’ve insisted, but go. And bless me.”
33 The Egyptians couldn’t wait to get rid of them; they pushed them to hurry up, saying, “We’re all as good as dead.”
34-36 The people grabbed their bread dough before it had risen, bundled their bread bowls in their cloaks and threw them over their shoulders. The Israelites had already done what Moses had told them; they had asked the Egyptians for silver and gold things and clothing.God saw to it that the Egyptians liked the people and so readily gave them what they asked for. Oh yes! They picked those Egyptians clean.
37-39 The Israelites moved on from Rameses to Succoth, about 600,000 on foot, besides their dependents. There was also a crowd of riffraff tagging along, not to mention the large flocks and herds of livestock. They baked unraised cakes with the bread dough they had brought out of Egypt; it hadn’t raised—they’d been rushed out of Egypt and hadn’t time to fix food for the journey.
Here’s my quick sum-up of the Pesach (Passover) event, also called the Festival of Liberation…
The descendants of Abraham had been in slavery for a long time, but lately it had become over the top oppressive. The current Pharaoh of Egypt was on a power trip and wanted to crush them. God gives Moses a plan that nobody liked, including Moses. But they somehow find the grace to obediently follow the plan. When they do, God moves against the many dark powers of Egypt, crushes the will of the Pharaoh and the Egyptians, AND THEN has these former slaves PLUNDER the Egyptian households for all their valuables before walking out of their prison camp situation.
Now that is festival-worthy liberation! Moses is instructed to have the Israelites celebrate their remembrance of this glorious deliverance every year, on the 10th day of their first month, down through the generations.
Think*3
23 Then Israel entered Egypt;Jacob resided as a foreigner in the land of Ham.24 The Lord made his people very fruitful;he made them too numerous for their foes,25 whose hearts he turned to hate his people,to conspire against his servants.26 He sent Moses his servant,and Aaron, whom he had chosen.27 They performed his signs among them,his wonders in the land of Ham.28 He sent darkness and made the land dark—for had they not rebelled against his words?29 He turned their waters into blood,causing their fish to die.30 Their land teemed with frogs,which went up into the bedrooms of their rulers.31 He spoke, and there came swarms of flies,and gnats throughout their country.32 He turned their rain into hail,with lightning throughout their land;33 he struck down their vines and fig treesand shattered the trees of their country.34 He spoke, and the locusts came,grasshoppers without number;35 they ate up every green thing in their land,ate up the produce of their soil.36 Then he struck down all the firstborn in their land,the firstfruits of all their manhood.37 He brought out Israel, laden with silver and gold,and from among their tribes no one faltered.38 Egypt was glad when they left,because dread of Israel had fallen on them.
-- Psalm 105:23-38
This very special HOLY THURSDAY thread
honors the tradition of the church to reflect on the day
when Jesus gave a new commandment to love one another,
washed the feet of his disciples, gave us the Eucharist,
laid down his will in prayer in the garden of Gethsemane,
was betrayed by a kiss, arrested and put on trial.
Holy Thursday
Deplorable Patriot,
And so we arrive at Holy Thursday. The music that says “we have arrived” to me is actually the Pange Lingua Gloriosi chant. It’s six verses of text written by St. Thomas Aquinas, OP, and we sing it as the Ciborium is carried from the high altar to the altar of repose for the night. Unfortunately, the current pastor thinks it should be in English. The choir and congregation disagree, but 70s priests don’t care about that.
The other text that is used at the Mass of the Lord’s Supper specifically, is for the washing of the feet. It’s been years since I’ve heard anything other than Ubi Caritas. Translation:
Where charity and love are, God is there. Christ’s love has gathered us into one. Let us rejoice and be pleased in Him. Let us fear, and let us love the living God. And may we love each other with a sincere heart. Where charity and love are, God is there. As we are gathered into one body, Beware, lest we be divided in mind. Let evil impulses stop, let controversy cease, And may Christ our God be in our midst. Where charity and love are, God is there. And may we with the saints also, See Thy face in glory, O Christ our God: The joy that is immense and good, Unto the ages through infinite ages. Amen.
This setting is an adaptation of the chant. It is from the 1960s.
Deplorable Patriot, …
This setting of In Monti Oliveti I learned earlier this year. It’s MUCH nicer than the hymn setting a certain BIG NAME music director had us sing.
And I forgot the Gradual for the day.
Christ became obedient for us unto death,
even to the death, death on the cross.
Therefore God exalted Him and gave Him a name
which is above all names.
This is the Bruckner (1884) setting which is not for the faint of heart.
And Then … A Very Long Night Leading Into Good Friday (T*3)
Some may say a certain person or a certain people group tried, condemned, tortured and killed the Son of God. The greater reality to embrace is that he willingly entered this battle space to obtain the prize, the redemption of his beloved. His love for us held him to the cross. Nothing less could hold him there.
Certain things about the 2016 primaries may make sense upon seeing that image, by the way.
“Strategery”, as a term, is part of FAKE HISTORY, which is a byproduct of FAKE NEWS.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategery
However, “strategery” as a term actually originated in FAKE ENTERTAINMENT.
Starting to see how all the FAKE is connected? Good. The CLOWNS are intensely interested in putting down our perception of the FAKE, by the way.
And that brings me back to the SPRING LOGISTICS.
That’s a military vehicle, rather intentionally, because this is, to some extent, a #WAR of Peace. It is a war between SWEET LIES and BITTER TRUTHS. It is an information war, and the other side is willing to make sneaky, bitter moves in the dark to make those sweet lies victorious.
That is the nature of their PROPAGANDA coupling with their SPYCRAFT.
This spring, I not only have to deal with my normal “keep the world of Wolf running” stuff – I have to deal with various Soros-related clown ops which should be illegal, but – thanks to COMMUNISM and its thorough infiltrations of the most unexpected places – are managing to skate by.
Our long-term goal is to have this site free of Clown bullshit at all levels, and working hard to get 4 more years of Trump in 2020. There are a large number of ways this is accomplished, not all of which need to be discussed. Maybe NONE of which need to be discussed.
Anyway, here is the deal. You should expect the following:
Dayswhere I simply don’t show up, and somebody else has to put up the daily thread. I am going to set an arbitrary time of 1 AM Eastern Time as the cut-off. If you have not seen either a new Daily Thread or SOME notice by me near the end of the prior Daily Thread that I am working on the next Daily Thread BY THAT TIME (1 AM EDT), then one of the other Authors should feel free to CLAIM AUTHORSHIP in that prior daily thread, and put up the post.
“Canned” Daily Threads that are scheduled in advance, appearing just after 12 AM.
Me not commenting or replying to comments directed toward me.
Few articles by me, other than the daily thread.
Cryptic tells to the White Hats about information gleaned from clown ops.
Less cryptic tells broadcast to “aware” parties on our side, for their benefit and knowledge.
Some disinformation may be necessary.
Some lack of information may be necessary.
American manufacture is TARGETED by the ENEMIES of our FREEDOM.
NOW – I am also putting out a call for MORE DAILY THREAD AUTHORS. Right now, Wheatie has the Saturday thread (put up Friday night), and ThinkThinkThink has the Sunday thread (put up on Saturday night). If somebody is interested in being another weekly Daily Thread Author, then speak up now, and let me know your preferred day.
You may not like this guy, but I’m putting his face up for a reason. WAR is not always pretty. Even when it’s PEACEFUL. Lesson learned from CHINA and the CLOWNS.
Likewise, if you don’t think we’re at #WAR right now, you are sadly mistaken.
Learn who are your FRIENDS. Learn who are your REAL FRIENDS. Learn who are ALLIES. Figure out who are your FAKE FRIENDS and your FAKE ALLIES. And always let THIS GUY be a friend during WARTIME.
#2020 is going to be a time of ALLIES again. BUCKLE UP, BUTTERCUP.

I just realized that there was a little script that went like this:
They needed to sell us on world government
So they needed to make us feel like we had to BARGAIN with the outside world
And they needed to make us believe certain things were INEVITABLE
And those things included PEOPLE COMING HERE
So they needed a PSYCHOLOGICAL EVENT
And they had to CREATE ONE
And it had to be BIG
And it had to involve SYMBOLS
And those symbols couldn’t just be STRUCK
Those symbols had to COLLAPSE
And it couldn’t just be a movie including destruction of American icons made by German globalists or Hollywood globalists although they used those as well
And then they had to make sure the story STUCK.
Welcome to the world where the STORY FELL APART.

And if your eye offend you, pluck it out, and cast it from you: it is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.

THIS little bit of news about FAKE NEWS does not sit well with me.
Many news anchors in the United States do a terrible job obscuring their true partisan biases. But CNN’s Chief International Anchor Christiane Amanpour does not even try.
The supposed straight newswoman asked former FBI Director James Comey in a recent interview whether federal law enforcement officials should have done more during the 2016 election to punish Donald Trump and his supporters for chanting “lock her up!” about Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
“Of course, ‘lock her up!’ was a feature of the 2016 Trump campaign,” Amanpour said toward the conclusion of her interview with Comey.
She added, “Do you, in retrospect, wish that people like yourself, the head of the FBI, I mean the people in charge of law and order had shut down that language — that it was dangerous potentially, that it could have created violence, that it’s kind of hate speech — should that have been allowed?”
Whoa! The former FBI director politely shrugged off her suggestion that the federal government should arrest people for saying things that upset Christiane Amanpour.
“That’s not a role for government to play,” Comey said.
He added, “The beauty of this country is people can say what they want even if it’s misleading and it’s demagoguery. The people who should have shut it down were Republicans who understand the rule of law and the values that they stand for. Shame on them, but it wasn’t a role for government to play.”
Though some have expressed shock that Amanpour would advocate an authoritarian crackdown on free speech, I cannot say I am entirely surprised that she would propose such a thing, especially on behalf of a Democratic politician.
She often plays the role of the arbiter of the moral good, routinely dipping into personal political commentary from her perch as an alleged news anchor. Recall that Amanpour accused Britons of xenophobia and anti-immigrant views in 2016 after they voted to leave the European Union. She made that specific claim no fewer than five times during a single broadcast immediately following the Brexit vote. Later, Amanpour berated one of the Brexit leaders, European Parliament member and Washington Examiner contributor Daniel Hannan, during a post-vote interview, claiming repeatedly, without evidence and falsely, that Hannan was now backtracking after campaigning to “stop the free movement [of people].”
Of course, you could just say she’s a tough news lady, but the problem is that Amanpour is not always so confrontational an interviewer. Let us not forget when she interviewed Hillary Clinton in May 2017, tossing the two-time failed presidential candidate the softest softballs ever lobbed, including when the CNN anchor asked:
[Y]ou’ve just spoken about the sexism and misogyny and inequity around the world, but do you believe it exists here still? … And do you think – were you a victim of misogyny, and why do you think you lost the majority of the white female vote?
The Trump administration is not without its upsides, Amanpour said later that same month. Indeed, she explained, it has caused “a huge rise in necessary activism” to combat what she characterizes as a “grave and existential threat.”
“You know, everybody was getting a little lazy, everyone was taking everything for granted, particularly in the United States. And I think women of have come out, you know, black people have come out. The press have come out,” she said. “Everybody is coming out to defend their profession and their right to exist under the Constitution and the laws of the United States.”
You’ll pardon me, then, for not being even a little surprised to learn Amanpour is maybe a little sympathetic to arresting opponents of the Democratic Party for so-called “hate speech.”
Now – this gets a bit personal with me. You see…..
Once you realize that MS. AMANPOUR’S desire that THE FBI “lock us up” matches rather well with my run-ins with pesky “lookin’-for-a-reason-to-lock-that-boy-up” “Radium Rod Brand” FEEBS in 2018….
Once you realize that 9/11 was largely a psychological manipulation tool to herd Americans into various configurations required for global socialism – and that THIS is the really big secret they absolutely do NOT want to let get away from them – but it pretty much already has…..
Once you realize that the ACCELERATED TIMING of said “lock up Wolf” operations was shortly after I got religion on the videographic hoaxing involved with 9/11, and linked it to the attempted videographic fraud in the CA3 operation of which I have somewhat more familiarity, and OH that’s not a thing YET….
And once you realize what Americans are going to think when the TRUTH can no longer be suppressed by the FAKE NEWS….
WELLLLLLLLL….
Things all start to make sense.
You know, I’m not completely sold on lockin’ ’em all up.
In fact, I’m not even totally sold on “throwin’ ’em out”.
THE DOORS ARE WIDE OPEN.
AND THE TRUTH IS NEVER, EVER, GOING BACK IN THE BOX.
Do the math, scumbags. While there is STILL TIME.
Flep talks about that nightstand. Well, Wolf is showing you an even easier way out.
