Matt, you sure packed a lot into this essay. My brain hurts. Definitely will refer back to these great perspectives. Certainly a Godless world is doomed to be hell on earth.

Interesting note in your comments below, from Lorraine Smith: the Saxons come from "Isaac's sons." Per the Latin dictum, "Nomen est omen," I believe the English language is a particularly un-arbitrary language, literally the language of angels. On a similar note, "Christus" does not mean "the annointed one--everyone knows that doesn't make sense. Rather it relates to the Hellenic word for "golden," like a chrysalis, from whence the new paradigm springs.

Matt = thank you for another great read! I love especially that early Patristic period's prophetic visions. A great classical book is by Charles Avila, Ownership: Early Christian Teachings. Have you come across it? It took me 30 years to track him down, now working with Charles who is in the Philippines.

Remota justitia, quid sunt regna, nisi magna latrocinia?

And that's just what our current so-called democracies are now, magna latrocinia, big criminal gangs.

Thank you Matt, so much history has been hidden, forgive me if I have mentioned this before, Joseph of Arimathea, the Uncle of Jesus, was a merchant who traded with the Druids who had tin mines in Devon, at this time Britain had approximately 53 cities, 23 universities and schooling. When Jesus was crucified those who chose to follow Jesus in God's Way were persecuted, Joseph of Arimathea took on board his ship twelve disciples, Virgin Mary and Mary Magdalene, they sailed to France, met with Druid Bishops and were invited to Britain to practice their religion, each disciple was given 12 hides of land which is documented in the Domesday Book, the first church built above ground outside of Jerusalem was in Britain and Christianity is an English word, Joseph of Arimathea is the true Apostle of Britain. The head of the Church of England is Our Majesty the Queen Elizabeth II, we are answerable to God, we do not have a Pope, a Druid King defended Christian faith, and it was the first Christian King who was named the Defender of the Faith, Queen Elizabeth I, inserted into the Coronation Oath Defender of the Faith, therefore many have questioned whether the signing of the Treaty of Rome was alleged treason? King James VII wanted Britain to be ruled by the Pope, giving the Catholic's prominent positions in order to persecute those who followed the Church of England, this is when the Bishops allowed William of Orange and Mary King James VII daughter to invade England, to restore the faith, which is all documented in the Declaration of the Peace Treaty Bill of Rights 1688/89, and in the Coronation Oath, which is part of our Fundamental Law as well as the Magna Carta 1215 , also confirmed in Magna Carta 1297.

Our Majesty the Queen Elizabeth II was asked to relinquish her title of Defender of the Faith and she refused, Rome has confirmed Britain is where the first church was built above ground and the word Christianity is an English word, it was approximately 150 years later, when Rome took to Christianity. It is interesting some have said the word Saxons comes from Isaac's Sons? The Declaration of the Peace Treaty Bill of Rights 1688/89 , is Fundamental Law it cannot be altered or changed by Parliament. When the Prime Minister Boris Johnson asked Our Majesty the Queen to Prorogue Parliament he had done nothing wrong, the Royal Courts of Justice threw out the case, however the Supreme Court did not, yet the Supreme Court has no jurisdiction over Our Majesty the Queen who had Prorogued Parliament, read The Fixed Term Parliament Act 2011 , Section 6. ? How many countries have the Peace Treaty Bill of Rights 1688/89 , which is Fundamental Law ? Thanks Matt once again, being in business, I have seen the systemic collapse of the private sector and now the damage inflicted on the public sector amenities, the snow is grey, is what they say, when you open your eyes, the snow is white, especially on a Winter's Night when it turns night to day.

Wonderful comments, Lorraine Smith! As I mentioned above, English is the language of angels and Christianity is the golden chrysalis religion. Thanks for your history lesson! From an Anglophile in Wisconsin USA, Kyle E. (email: fattigmann@yahoo.com)

Thanks for another interesting dive into history, Matt. With your reference to St. Augustine, I'm reminded of another one of my favorite historians, E. Michael Jones. His 'Libido Dominandi : Sexual Liberation and Political Control' is based largely off of St. Augustine's notion that 'a man has as many masters as he has vices'. I'm not sure if you're aware of his work, but I'd love to see a podcast between you two some day. Cheers!
