Open Letter on Murder of Ambassador Chris Stevens, Libya, Egypt, Yemen, Afghanistan

“Fairy tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.” G.K. Chesterton

While we regret the loss of life there are a few points we must keep in mind.

  1. To work for The US Department of State has always carried with it the assumption of risking one’s life.
  2. To work for The US Department of State is Voluntary.
  3. To work for The US Department of State means you are supporting Benevolent Government Policies, the same ones that will most likely destroy Amerika and get you killed.

The culture of The US Department of State  as with the Executive, Legislative and Judicial Branches is one highly supportive of the Globalist Elitist agenda intent on the destruction of the Sovereign Nation-State, Socio-Political-Economic Nationalism and Cultural-Religious Identities that stand in opposition to Globalization and Benevolent Government Systems.

Ambassador Stevens, any employee of the Benevolent Government System, by the mere fact of their employment, endorse and promote its Globalist Elite agenda; sadly, this includes members of the military as well.

Are the attacks on the embassies of The Benevolent Government a November surprise or another reason to expand the mercenary forces of the Global Elites Corpo-Banker Benevolent Government System?

Predictably right after the attacks:

In the name of Unquestioned Patriotism, Revenge Sugar Coated as Justice mixed with healthy doses of Benevolent Government/Mainstream Media Hype of Fear; America sprinted to give away its Socio-Economic, Political Freedoms. -Excerpt from The 911′s There are Messages Sent to Us Throughout History

Have you seen the mindless pictures on Facebook calling for even more Internationalism that is mindless, Blood Lust, and Revenge?

Blind Patriotism, Revenge, Hate…Is it worth the cost? Do you want to continue sacrificing your Son(s)/Daughter(s) while the Global Elites, Benevolent Government profit off their sweat, blood, sacrifice?

Ask yourself if AMERIKA is the vision you had of AMERICA…

Chaos ‘Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?’

It is important for us living today to have the knowledge that Chaos is a Malevolent Spirit.  The transformative process the world is experiencing is happening through Chaos in: Economies, Societies, Cultures, and Education-Government-Religious Systems.

The Folly of Man is that we embrace Pride, Greed, and Benevolent Government Systems. Live in fear of the Malevolent Spirit Chaos that befalls us, cry out why God have you abandoned us.  It is that same pride of man that blinds the world to the fact that God did not abandon us but we abandoned God.

ARCHBISHOP FULTON J. SHEEN

In 1965, Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen presented What Holds Us Together.  After viewing his presentation, reflect upon the current polarization, chaos in every area of our daily lives.  The demarcation line is clearly drawn. Drawn in such a manner that the Moral and Natural Laws are a comfort to one side of the line and a source of great bitterness, agitation on the other side leading to increasingly violent acts in rejection of the Moral and Natural Laws; the very rejection of these laws that broke what held us together as the Human Race.  It is the Folly of Man not to return to What Holds Us Together  in submission to Pride and Greed, which placed the world in a state of chaos to begin with.

The Faces of Chaos:

1. The Catholic Church: Remarkably when the Catholic Church is attacked from those outside the Catholic Church it rouses Catholics from their slumber.  This fact has not been lost on the forces seeking the demise of the Catholic Church.

In the 1960’s the Catholic Church lost its Sense of The Sacred caused by the infiltration of Church Hierarchy, Institutions and Laity by secular humanists.  Catholic Parishes became centers for entertainment and touchy feel good theology; many remain so today.

Catholic Youth in ever increasing numbers are rejecting Hawaiian shirt, Bermuda shorts and sandals church opting to answer the Call-to-Arms, defend their Catholic Faith, return the Sense of The Sacred…Return to Orthodoxy.

“There is a huge and heroic sanity of which moderns can only collect fragments.”- G.K. Chesterton’s Orthodoxy (In Chapter III, The Suicide of Thought)

“Because children have abounding vitality, because they are in spirit fierce and free, therefore they want things repeated and unchanged. They always say, “Do it again”; and the grown-up person does it again until he is nearly dead. For grown-up people are not strong enough to exult in monotony. But perhaps God is strong enough to exult in monotony. It is possible that God says every morning, “Do it again” to the sun; and every evening, “Do it again” to the moon. It may not be automatic necessity that makes all daisies alike; it may be that God makes every daisy separately, but has never got tired of making them. It may be that He has the eternal appetite of infancy; for we have sinned and grown old, and our Father is younger than we.” – G.K. Chesterton

2. Race: From America-to-Africa, Europe-to-Asia the Malevolent Spirit of Chaos has taken full advantage of the loss of the Moral and Natural Laws when it comes to Race Wars…The weapon of choice for Benevolent Government  to ferment Socio-Political fear and instability = Chaos.

BENEVOLENT GOVERNMENT FERMENTS RACE WARS…CHAOS

3. Life vs. Death: Increasingly Advocates for Life are coming under aggressive, violent attacks.  Set aside the media bias in not reporting these attacks, they are increasing in volume and intensity for the fact that many are abandoning their positions supporting the Slaughter of The Innocent and the Nihilist Abortionist argument is failing broadly across socio-political economic spheres of influence.

ABORTION IS MURDER I THANK GOD MY PARENTS ARE PRO-LIFE!

America Throws Party of The Ages…Death

When the black breath blows
and death’s shadow grows
and all lights pass, come athelas! come athelas!
Life to the dying
In the king’s hand lying!
― The herb-master in the Houses of Healing, quoting “doggerel” spoken by Ioreth

Admittedly, we played a little with the title of Ramesh Ponnuru’s book The Party of Death: The Democrats, the Media, the Courts, and the Disregard for Human Life for the title of this post because the reality is the Republicans are just as complicit in The Culture of Death as anyone else.

While discussing the myths and realities of The American Culture of Death and its reverberation throughout society and culture on Faith & Culture (EWTN) hosted by Colleen Carroll Campbell Ponnuru made a statement that struck me as applicable across all of American Society and Culture.

Death is a natural rite but that does not give us the right to mimic it. In order for The Culture of Death to prevail, exist at all it relies on emotional narratives rather than filtering the narratives with reason. -Ramesh Ponnuru

His statement hit upon many of the on-going themes that we have presented for clients position papers, articles, journal, and op-ed pieces.  The Culture of Death has infected almost every area of life, desensitized the public to the point that it cheers on and gives rock star status to the purveyors of death whether it is students (think YouTube video), crime, academia, media, entertainment, religion, government, medicine.

Ponnuru raises the cry put forth by the Apostle of Common Sense himself G.K. Chesterton.

K2 GLOBAL COMMUNICATIONS LLC Recommended Reading: Eugenics and Other Evils: An Argument Against the Scientifically Organized State by G.K. Chesterton

Philosophy is not the concern of those who pass through Divinity and Greats, but of those who pass through birth and death. Nearly all the more awful and abstruse statements can be put in words of one syllable, from ‘A child is born’ to ‘A soul is damned.’ If the ordinary man may not discuss existence, why should he be asked to conduct it? -G.K. Chesterton “The Philosopher” – George Bernard Shaw (1910)

-More at The American Chesterton Society-

This has been made possible by language but more importantly, the losses of the ability of Americans to use reason to filter force-feed emotional narratives from the purveyors of death themselves.

The New Faithful: Why Young Adults Are Embracing Christian Orthodoxy  by Colleen Carroll Campbell 

The New Faithful is a groundbreaking book that examines the growing trend toward religious orthodoxy among today’s young adults.  author and Journalist Colleen Carroll Campbell offers strong opinions on how this movement might transform an American society steeped in moral relativism and secularism.

Blending investigative journalism with in-depth analysis, Campbell seeks the reasons behind the choice of orthodoxy in a socity that often denigrates traditional morality and rejects organized religion.

Government Systems Explained…G.K. Chesterton on Distributivism vs Capitalism, Socialism

I think we can explain how to make a small shop or a small farm a common feature of our society better than Matthew Arnold explained how to make the State the organ of Our Best Self. I think the farm will be marked on some sort of rude map more clearly than the Earthly Paradise on the navigation chart of William Morris; and I think that in comparison with his News from Nowhere this might fairly be called News from Somewhere. Rousseau and Ruskin were often much more vague and visionary than I am; though Rousseau was even more rigid in abstractions, and Ruskin was sometimes very much excited about particular details. -Excerpt from A Misunderstanding About Method, Chapter 2 from The Outline of Sanity by G.K. Chesterton, American Chesterton Society

“There is a huge and heroic sanity of which moderns can only collect fragments.”- G.K. Chesterton’s Orthodoxy (In Chapter III, The Suicide of Thought)

We are in no way qualified to address the writings and even pretend to be in some manner qualified to provide you the reader with a detailed analysis of his writings.  What we can provide, due in large part to The American Chesterton Society, is snippet presentations featuring his works on matters of concern.

Catholic Collaborators, Ringwraiths Riding Hard…Empower Sauron, Embrace Citizenship in Mordor

RINGWRAITH…BLACK BREATH

When the black breath blows
and death’s shadow grows
and all lights pass, come athelas! come athelas!
Life to the dying
In the king’s hand lying!

― The herb-master in the Houses of Healing, quoting “doggerel” spoken by Ioreth

The Dark Lord Sauron (Government Systems), his servant Ringwraiths (Politicians) Riding Hard, collaborative Catholics have destroyed all that dared stand in their path.

Black veil, dark cloud of vagueness and confusion fashioned by The Dark Lord Sauron (Government Systems), his servant Ringwraiths (Politicians) Riding Hard, collaborative Catholics; spread across Catholic America.  Suddenly Spiritual Warfare, Hell and Damnation, The Blood, Truth yes even The Cross became vague concepts in many parishes across America as too did the reality of Satan, fallen angels and demonic activity.

A perversion of Catholic Social Justice Doctrine, Liberation Theology, prevailed embraced by the church.  Simply put it is the failure of Catholic Laity, Church Hierarchy to defend the faith, readily accepting secularized Catholicism with Vatican II, collaborating with Ringwraiths (Politicians) Riding Hard, The Dark Lord Sauron (Government Systems).

 

Thus, it was agreed that it was impossible to achieve a conventional military victory through strength of arms, and instead to risk all on a last throw of the dice by Aragorn leading a diversionary attack on the Black Gate, to aid Frodo’s passage in Mordor.

Although a great and almost miraculous victory, at the subsequent Last Debate, Gandalf counseled that militarily, Sauron would still defeat them. The Free Peoples had managed to destroy an army outnumbering them at least 10 to 1, but lost almost a third of their own forces. Sauron had suffered a defeat, but he still had other legions and the force that attacked Minas Tirith, while substantial, was but a fraction of his total strength. Rohan and Gondor had been able to secure their flanks, eliminating the threat of Isengard and the Corsairs on the southern coasts, but Gandalf counseled that even with all of their forces concentrated in the main front near Minas Tirith, it would simply be enduring wave after wave of siege like a sandcastle being worn down by the ocean. Thus, it was agreed that it was impossible to achieve a conventional military victory through strength of arms, and instead to risk all on a last throw of the dice by Aragorn leading a diversionary attack on the Black Gate, to aid Frodo’s passage in Mordor. – Aftermath

Ringwraiths (Politicians) Riding Hard…have become rock star celebrities with their own cult followings.  Spreading fear, hate, and death, collaborative Catholics have empowered them to serve their master The Dark Lord Sauron (Government Systems) with impunity through the two-party system.  The two-party system in America is one of great diabolical genius.  It offers the voter the illusion of making a difference with their vote when historical realism has proven time and time again the only difference is the speed of which the political parties will strip you of your freedoms, enslave you.  Capitalism, Socialism; both offer the illusion of economic freedom but neither promotes or maintains private property ownership.

“The Nazgûl were they, the Ringwraiths, the Enemy’s most terrible servants; darkness went with them, and they cried with the voices of death.” ― The Silmarillion, “Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age”

Sometime during the Second Age (after year 1600[note 1]) Sauron gave nine Rings of Power to powerful mortal Men. It is said that three of the Nine were lords of Númenor corrupted by Sauron,[1] and one was a king among the Easterlings.[2]

For many years the bearers used the rings to gain great wealth, prestige and power, becoming “mighty in their day, kings, sorcerers, and warriors of old”. The effect of the rings caused their lives to be prolonged, and to see things of the Unseen. But over time their bodily forms faded until they became wraiths entirely, slaves under the domination of Sauron’s One Ring.[3] 

Known as the Nazgûl, they first appeared around S.A. 2251[4] and were soon established as Sauron’s principal servants. - History

 

The Dark Lord Sauron (Government Systems), his servant Ringwraiths (Politicians) Riding Hard, collaborative Catholics

The year is 2012 late in the fourth watch with The Battle of the Pelennor Fields set to begin with the mourning.  Ringwraiths (Politicians) Riding Hard, The Dark Lord Sauron (Government Systems) has blotted out the sun; Black Breath fills the air, army of The Dark Lord Sauron gathered for Battle. Catholicism Driven from The Land, Free America Died… The year is 2012.

What If Major General Cleburne Is Correct…Benevolent Government, Historical Revisionism

“Every man should endeavor to understand the meaning of subjugation before it is too late… It means the history of this heroic struggle will be written by the enemy;  that our youth will be trained by Northern schoolteachers; will learn from Northern school books their version of the war; will be impressed by the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors, and our maimed veterans as fit objects for derision.

 

It is said slavery is all we are fighting for, and if we give it up we give up all. Even if this were true, which we deny, slavery is not all that our enemies are fighting for.

 

It is merely the pretense to establish sectional superiority and a more centralized form of government, and to deprive us of our rights and liberties.” -Major General Patrick Ronayne Cleburne Confederate States Army during the American Civil War

What If Major General Patrick Ronayne Cleburne and Lochlainn Seabrook are correct? Is Benevolent Government Historical Revisionism Alive Today? What If…You Decide

Everything You Were Taught About The Civil War Is Wrong, Ask A Southerner!

Correcting the Errors of Yankee “History”

By Lochlainn Seabrook

DID YOU KNOW THAT . . .

American slavery got its start in the North

• the American abolition movement began in the South

• most Southern generals did not own slaves, and many, like Robert E. Lee, were abolitionists

• many Northern generals, like U.S. Grant, owned slaves and said they would not fight for abolition

• according to the 1860 Census a mere 4.8 percent of Southerners owned slaves, 95.2 percent did not

• Abraham Lincoln was a white separatist who wanted to send all blacks “back to Africa”

• Jefferson Davis adopted a black boy and freed Southern slaves before the North did

• Lincoln was not against slavery, he was against the spread of slavery

• Lincoln supported the idea of corralling African-Americans in their own all-black state

• true slavery was never practiced in the South

• Lincoln “won” both the 1860 and 1864 elections with less than 50 percent of the American vote

• Lincoln was a big government liberal, Davis was a small government conservative

• there were tens of thousands of both black and Native-American slave owners

• Lincoln started the Civil War, not the South

• the North fought to “preserve the Union,” not to abolish slavery

• the South fought to uphold the original Constitution, not to maintain slavery

• it would have cost ten times less to free the slaves and reimburse their owners than fight the War

• the Northern armies were racially segregated, the Southern armies were racially integrated

• after emancipation 95 percent of all blacks voluntarily remained in the South

• between 300,000 and 1 million African-Americans fought for the Confederacy

• Europe would have supported the South but she was scared off by Lincoln’s war threats

• Northern prisons had higher death rates than Southern ones

• the original Ku Klux Klan was an anti-Yankee organization with thousands of black members

• “Reconstruction” was a dismal failure, which is why the South is still recovering from the War

Another example of contemporary Benevolent Government Historical Revisionism exposed…

“How many times have my men,…/ sworn to stay after dark/ And stem that horror with a sweep of their swords./ And then, in the morning, this mead-hall glittering/ With new light would be drenched with blood, the benches/ Stained red, the floors, all wet from that fiend’s/ Savage assault-and my soldiers would be fewer/ Still death taking more and more.” BEOWULF

Irish Holocaust- Push to Educate the Facts

THE IRISH HOLOCAUST

Is Britain’s cover-up of its 1845-1850 holocaust in Ireland the most successful Big Lie in all of history?

The cover-up is accomplished by the same British terrorism and bribery that perpetrated the genocide.  Consider: why does Irish President Mary Robinson call it “Ireland’s greatest natural 1 disaster” while she conceals the British army’s role?  Potato blight, “phytophthora infestans”, did spread from America to Europe in 1844, to England and then Ireland in 1845 but it didn’t cause famine anywhere.  Ireland did not starve for potatoes; it starved for food. Ireland starved because its food, from 40 to 70 shiploads per day, was removed at gunpoint by 12,000 British constables reinforced by the British militia, battleships, excise vessels, Coast Guard and by 200,000 British soldiers (100,000 at any given moment)  The attached map shows the never-before-published names and locations in Ireland of the food removal regiments (Disposition of the Army; Public Record Office, London; et al, of which we possess photocopies).  Thus, Britain seized from Ireland’s producers tens of millions of head of livestock; tens of millions of tons of flour, grains, meat, poultry & dairy products; enough to sustain 18 million persons. The Public Record Office recently informed us that their British regiments’ Daily Activity Reports of 1845-1850 have “gone missing.”  Those records include each regiment’s cattle drives and grain-cart convoys it escorted at gun-point from the Irish districts assigned to it.  Also “missing” are the receipts issued by the British army commissariat officers in every Irish port tallying the cattle and tonnage of foodstuff removed; likewise the export lading manifests. Other records provide all-revealing glimpses of the “missing” data; such as: -MORE-

Questions we as must ask ourselves today:

What If  Major General Patrick Ronayne Cleburne and Lochlainn Seabrook are correct?

Is Benevolent Government Historical Revisionism Alive Today?

Is it just Historical Revisionism or something more sinister?

What If?  You Decide…

Magic Runes of Peace…Bring the Balance Back Oliver Curran/Battle of Evermore

I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo.
“So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide.
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.

Oh, dance in the dark night, sing to the morning light… The Dark Lord rides in force tonight, and time will tell us all

 

Oh, throw down your plow and hoe, race now to my bow…Side by side we wait the might, of the darkest of them all

 

I hear the horses thunder down in the valley below… I’m waiting for the angels of Avalon, waiting for the eastern glow

Oh well, the night is long, the beads of time pass slow…Tired eyes on the sunrise, waiting for the eastern glow

 

The pain of war cannot exceed the woe of aftermath… The drums will shake the castle wall, the Ringwraiths ride in black (ride on)

 

Sing as you raise your bow, (ride on) shoot straighter than before… No comfort has the fire at night that lights the face so cold

 

Oh, dance in the dark night, sing to the morning light… The magic runes are writ in gold to bring the balance back, bring it back

 

At last the sun is shining, the clouds of blue roll by …With flames from the dragon of darkness, the sunlight blinds his eyes

 

Oh, bring it back, bring it back…

THE HERALDS OF THE GAEL.

The topmost glory of a race is bound
Within the gleaming virtues of its sons.

Not by its carven gold shall it be crowned,
Nor best saluted by its monster guns.

Its crown shall be to fashion day by day
The stuff of greatness from its common clay.

Age upon age the worst that man could wreak
On fellow-man framed Ireland s hapless plight.

Freedom and learning yea, the right to speak
Were trodden under in her bitter fight.

Her head was bowed : her breast and feet were bare,

But mind unconquered held her from despair.

And when by random flashes gleamed a path
That led to lands with freedom s flag unfurled,

She rose amid the embers of her wrath
With poets, scholars, captains for the world,

And sent them forth to shame the broadcast lie

That Ireland s glories were to fade and die.

So from her common people rise revealed
The knightly heralds of the deathless Gael.

And lo, the boy who led the lambs afield
Becomes arch-shepherd by the chancel rail ;

The lad who drove wild cattle to the fen

Commands wide armies in the wars of men.

Behold one, chosen of the free, to stand

Before the marble altar of the Law,
And lift the iron scales with steady hand,

And fearlessly the sword of Justice draw
To cut the nets the wrangling sophists throw,
And smite the malefactor high or low.

They carve great statues : marble minsters rear ;

They sing new songs to touch a people s heart ;
They lift our banner and our message bear

Where senates meet to trace a nation s chart,
And best when clearest in the soul and face.
We see the stamp and purpose of our race

By
JOSEPH I. G. CLARKE (1911)

A MODEST PROPOSAL FOR PREVENTING THE CHILDREN OF POOR PEOPLE IN IRELAND FROM BEING A BURDEN TO THEIR PARENTS OR COUNTRY, AND FOR MAKING THEM BENEFICIAL TO THE PUBLIC

It is a melancholy object to those who walk through this great town or travel in the country, when they see the streets, the roads, and cabin doors, crowded with beggars of the female sex, followed by three, four, or six children, all in rags and importuning every passenger for an alms. These mothers, instead of being able to work for their honest livelihood, are forced to employ all their time in strolling to beg sustenance for their helpless infants: who as they grow up either turn thieves for want of work, or leave their dear native country to fight for the Pretender in Spain, or sell themselves to the Barbadoes.

I think it is agreed by all parties that this prodigious number of children in the arms, or on the backs, or at the heels of their mothers, and frequently of their fathers, is in the present deplorable state of the kingdom a very great additional grievance; and, therefore, whoever could find out a fair, cheap, and easy method of making these children sound, useful members of the commonwealth, would deserve so well of the public as to have his statue set up for a preserver of the nation.

But my intention is very far from being confined to provide only for the children of professed beggars; it is of a much greater extent, and shall take in the whole number of infants at a certain age who are born of parents in effect as little able to support them as those who demand our charity in the streets.

As to my own part, having turned my thoughts for many years upon this important subject, and maturely weighed the several schemes of other projectors, I have always found them grossly mistaken in the computation. It is true, a child just dropped from its dam may be supported by her milk for a solar year, with little other nourishment; at most not above the value of 2s., which the mother may certainly get, or the value in scraps, by her lawful occupation of begging; and it is exactly at one year old that I propose to provide for them in such a manner as instead of being a charge upon their parents or the parish, or wanting food and raiment for the rest of their lives, they shall on the contrary contribute to the feeding, and partly to the clothing, of many thousands.

There is likewise another great advantage in my scheme, that it will prevent those voluntary abortions, and that horrid practice of women murdering their bastard children, alas! too frequent among us! sacrificing the poor innocent babes I doubt more to avoid the expense than the shame, which would move tears and pity in the most savage and inhuman breast.

The number of souls in this kingdom being usually reckoned one million and a half, of these I calculate there may be about two hundred thousand couple whose wives are breeders; from which number I subtract thirty thousand couples who are able to maintain their own children, although I apprehend there cannot be so many, under the present distresses of the kingdom; but this being granted, there will remain an hundred and seventy thousand breeders. I again subtract fifty thousand for those women who miscarry, or whose children die by accident or disease within the year. There only remains one hundred and twenty thousand children of poor parents annually born: the question therefore is, how this number shall be reared and provided for, which, as I have already said, under the present situation of affairs, is utterly impossible by all the methods hitherto proposed. For we can neither employ them in handicraft or agriculture; we neither build houses (I mean in the country) nor cultivate land: they can very seldom pick up a livelihood by stealing, till they arrive at six years old, except where they are of towardly parts, although I confess they learn the rudiments much earlier, during which time, they can however be properly looked upon only as probationers, as I have been informed by a principal gentleman in the county of Cavan, who protested to me that he never knew above one or two instances under the age of six, even in a part of the kingdom so renowned for the quickest proficiency in that art.

I am assured by our merchants, that a boy or a girl before twelve years old is no salable commodity; and even when they come to this age they will not yield above three pounds, or three pounds and half-a-crown at most on the exchange; which cannot turn to account either to the parents or kingdom, the charge of nutriment and rags having been at least four times that value.

I shall now therefore humbly propose my own thoughts, which I hope will not be liable to the least objection.

I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child well nursed is at a year old a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricassee or a ragout.

I do therefore humbly offer it to public consideration that of the hundred and twenty thousand children already computed, twenty thousand may be reserved for breed, whereof only one-fourth part to be males; which is more than we allow to sheep, black cattle or swine; and my reason is, that these children are seldom the fruits of marriage, a circumstance not much regarded by our savages, therefore one male will be sufficient to serve four females. That the remaining hundred thousand may, at a year old, be offered in the sale to the persons of quality and fortune through the kingdom; always advising the mother to let them suck plentifully in the last month, so as to render them plump and fat for a good table. A child will make two dishes at an entertainment for friends; and when the family dines alone, the fore or hind quarter will make a reasonable dish, and seasoned with a little pepper or salt will be very good boiled on the fourth day, especially in winter.

I have reckoned upon a medium that a child just born will weigh 12 pounds, and in a solar year, if tolerably nursed, increaseth to 28 pounds.

I grant this food will be somewhat dear, and therefore very proper for landlords, who, as they have already devoured most of the parents, seem to have the best title to the children.

Infant’s flesh will be in season throughout the year, but more plentiful in March, and a little before and after; for we are told by a grave author, an eminent French physician, that fish being a prolific diet, there are more children born in Roman Catholic countries about nine months after Lent than at any other season; therefore, reckoning a year after Lent, the markets will be more glutted than usual, because the number of popish infants is at least three to one in this kingdom: and therefore it will have one other collateral advantage, by lessening the number of papists among us.

I have already computed the charge of nursing a beggar’s child (in which list I reckon all cottagers, laborers, and four-fifths of the farmers) to be about two shillings per annum, rags included; and I believe no gentleman would repine to give ten shillings for the carcass of a good fat child, which, as I have said, will make four dishes of excellent nutritive meat, when he hath only some particular friend or his own family to dine with him. Thus the squire will learn to be a good landlord, and grow popular among his tenants; the mother will have eight shillings net profit, and be fit for work till she produces another child.

Those who are more thrifty (as I must confess the times require) may flay the carcass; the skin of which artificially dressed will make admirable gloves for ladies, and summer boots for fine gentlemen.

As to our city of Dublin, shambles may be appointed for this purpose in the most convenient parts of it, and butchers we may be assured will not be wanting; although I rather recommend buying the children alive, and dressing them hot from the knife, as we do roasting pigs.

A very worthy person, a true lover of his country, and whose virtues I highly esteem, was lately pleased in discoursing on this matter to offer a refinement upon my scheme. He said that many gentlemen of this kingdom, having of late destroyed their deer, he conceived that the want of venison might be well supplied by the bodies of young lads and maidens, not exceeding fourteen years of age nor under twelve; so great a number of both sexes in every country being now ready to starve for want of work and service; and these to be disposed of by their parents, if alive, or otherwise by their nearest relations. But with due deference to so excellent a friend and so deserving a patriot, I cannot be altogether in his sentiments; for as to the males, my American acquaintance assured me, from frequent experience, that their flesh was generally tough and lean, like that of our schoolboys by continual exercise, and their taste disagreeable; and to fatten them would not answer the charge. Then as to the females, it would, I think, with humble submission be a loss to the public, because they soon would become breeders themselves; and besides, it is not improbable that some scrupulous people might be apt to censure such a practice (although indeed very unjustly), as a little bordering upon cruelty; which, I confess, hath always been with me the strongest objection against any project, however so well intended.

But in order to justify my friend, he confessed that this expedient was put into his head by the famous Psalmanazar, a native of the island Formosa, who came from thence to London above twenty years ago, and in conversation told my friend, that in his country when any young person happened to be put to death, the executioner sold the carcass to persons of quality as a prime dainty; and that in his time the body of a plump girl of fifteen, who was crucified for an attempt to poison the emperor, was sold to his imperial majesty’s prime minister of state, and other great mandarins of the court, in joints from the gibbet, at four hundred crowns. Neither indeed can I deny, that if the same use were made of several plump young girls in this town, who without one single groat to their fortunes cannot stir abroad without a chair, and appear at playhouse and assemblies in foreign fineries which they never will pay for, the kingdom would not be the worse.

Some persons of a desponding spirit are in great concern about that vast number of poor people, who are aged, diseased, or maimed, and I have been desired to employ my thoughts what course may be taken to ease the nation of so grievous an encumbrance. But I am not in the least pain upon that matter, because it is very well known that they are every day dying and rotting by cold and famine, and filth and vermin, as fast as can be reasonably expected. And as to the young laborers, they are now in as hopeful a condition; they cannot get work, and consequently pine away for want of nourishment, to a degree that if at any time they are accidentally hired to common labor, they have not strength to perform it; and thus the country and themselves are happily delivered from the evils to come.

I have too long digressed, and therefore shall return to my subject. I think the advantages by the proposal which I have made are obvious and many, as well as of the highest importance.

For first, as I have already observed, it would greatly lessen the number of papists, with whom we are yearly overrun, being the principal breeders of the nation as well as our most dangerous enemies; and who stay at home on purpose with a design to deliver the kingdom to the Pretender, hoping to take their advantage by the absence of so many good protestants, who have chosen rather to leave their country than stay at home and pay tithes against their conscience to an Episcopal curate.

Secondly, The poorer tenants will have something valuable of their own, which by law may be made liable to distress and help to pay their landlord’s rent, their corn and cattle being already seized, and money a thing unknown.

Thirdly, Whereas the maintenance of an hundred thousand children, from two years old and upward, cannot be computed at less than ten shillings a-piece per annum, the nation’s stock will be thereby increased fifty thousand pounds per annum, beside the profit of a new dish introduced to the tables of all gentlemen of fortune in the kingdom who have any refinement in taste. And the money will circulate among ourselves, the goods being entirely of our own growth and manufacture.

Fourthly, The constant breeders, beside the gain of eight shillings sterling per annum by the sale of their children, will be rid of the charge of maintaining them after the first year. Fifthly, This food would likewise bring great custom to taverns; where the vintners will certainly be so prudent as to procure the best receipts for dressing it to perfection, and consequently have their houses frequented by all the fine gentlemen, who justly value themselves upon their knowledge in good eating: and a skilful cook, who understands how to oblige his guests, will contrive to make it as expensive as they please.

Sixthly, This would be a great inducement to marriage, which all wise nations have either encouraged by rewards or enforced by laws and penalties. It would increase the care and tenderness of mothers toward their children, when they were sure of a settlement for life to the poor babes, provided in some sort by the public, to their annual profit instead of expense. We should see an honest emulation among the married women, which of them could bring the fattest child to the market. Men would become as fond of their wives during the time of their pregnancy as they are now of their mares in foal, their cows in calf, their sows when they are ready to farrow; nor offer to beat or kick them (as is too frequent a practice) for fear of a miscarriage.

Many other advantages might be enumerated. For instance, the addition of some thousand carcasses in our exportation of barreled beef, the propagation of swine’s flesh, and improvement in the art of making good bacon, so much wanted among us by the great destruction of pigs, too frequent at our tables; which are no way comparable in taste or magnificence to a well-grown, fat, yearling child, which roasted whole will make a considerable figure at a lord mayor’s feast or any other public entertainment. But this and many others I omit, being studious of brevity.

Supposing that one thousand families in this city would be constant customers for infants flesh, besides others who might have it at merry meetings, particularly weddings and christenings: I compute that Dublin would take off annually about twenty thousand carcasses, and the rest of the kingdom (where probably they will be sold somewhat cheaper) the remaining eighty thousand.

I can think of no one that will possibly be raised against this propasal, unless it should be urged that the number of people will be thereby much lessened in the kingdom. This I freely own, and it was indeed one principal design in offering it to the world. I desire the reader will observe, that I calculated my remedy for this one individual Kingdom of Ireland, and for no other that ever was, is, or, I think, ever can be upon earth. Therefore let no man talk to me of other expedients: Of taxing our absentees at five shillings a pound: Of using neither clothes, nor household furniture, except what is our own growth and manufacture: Of utterly rejecting the materials and instruments that promote foriegn luxury: Of curing the expensiveness of pride, vanity, idleness, and gaming in our women: Of introducing a vein of parsimony, prudence, and temperance: Of learning to love our country, wherein we differ even from Laplanders, and the inhabitants of Tompinamboo: Of quitting our animosities and factions, nor act any longe like the Jews, who were murdering one another at the very moment their city was taken: Of being a little cautious not to sell our country and consciences for nothing: Of teaching landlords to have at least one degree of mercy towards their tenants. Lastly, of putting a spirit of honesty, industry, into our shopkeepers, who, if a resolution could now be taken to buy only our native goods, would immediately unite to cheat and exact upon us in the price, the measure and goodness, nor could ever yet be brought to make one fair propasal of just dealing, though often and ernestly invited to it.

Therefore I repeat, let no man talk to me of these and the likes expedients, till he hath at least a glimpse of hope that there will ever be some hearty and sincere attempt to put them in practice. But as to myself, having been wearied out for many years with offering vain, idle, visionary thoughts, and at length utterly dispairing of success, I fortunately fell upon this propasal, which as it is wholly new, so it hath something solid and real, of no expense and little trouble, full in our own power, and whereby we can incur no danger in disobliging England. For this kind of commodity will not bear exportation, the flesh being of too tender a consistence to admit a long continuance in salt, although perhaps I could name a country that would be glad to eat up our whole nation without it.

After all, I am not so violently bent upon my own opinion as to reject any offer proposed by wise men, which shall be found equally innocent, cheap, easy, and effectual. But before something of that kind shall be advanced in contradiction to my scheme, and offering a better, I desire the author or authors will be pleased maturely to consider two points. First, as things now stand, how they will be able to find food and raiment for an hundred thousand useless mouths and backs. And secondly, there being a round million of creatures in human figure throughout this kingdom, whose whole subsistence put into a common stock would leave them in debt two millions of pounds sterling, adding those who are beggars by profession to the bulk of farmers, cottagers, and laborers, with their wives and children who are beggars in effect: I desire those politicians who dislike my overture, and may perhaps be so bold as to attempt an answer, that they will first ask the parents of these mortals, whether they would not at this day think it a great happiness to have been sold for food, at a year old in the manner I prescribe, and thereby have avoided such a perpetual scene of misfortunes as they have since gone through by the oppression of landlords, the impossibility of paying rent without money or trade, the want of common sustenance, with neither house nor clothes to cover them from the inclemencies of the weather, and the most inevitable prospect of entailing the like or greater miseries upon their breed for ever.

I profess, in the sincerity of my heart, that I have not the least personal interest in endeavoring to promote this necessary work, having no other motive than the public good of my country, by advancing our trade, providing for infants, relieving the poor, and giving some pleasure to the rich. I have no children by which I can propose to get a single penny; the youngest being nine years old, and my wife past child-bearing.  - A Modest Proposal By Jonathan Swift
