Disrupting the Narrative of the New Left, its allies in Academia, Hollywood and the Establishment Media, and examining with honesty the goals of cultural Marxism and the dangers of reactionary and abusive political correctness.
THE NARRATIVE AND POLITICAL CORRECTNESS
“Threats to freedom of speech, writing and action, though often trivial in isolation, are cumulative in their effect and, unless checked, lead to a general disrespect for the rights of the citizen.”-George Orwell
According to Bishop Shyrokoradiuk, more than 18 million people live in his diocese, including about 60,000 Roman Catholic Christians.
"We are a missionary Church," he said. "Twenty years ago, we didn't have a single parish; today there are more than 50. The faithful have Ukrainian, Polish, Russian as well as Vietnamese roots."
The parochial work of the diocese is focused on pastoral as well as social and humanitarian tasks: "We receive shipments of relief supplies and medicine from Western Europe. We need this help, Christian solidarity, but also political aid," said Bishop Shyrokoradiuk.
He is worried about the rising tide of refugees from the war zones, estimating there are more than 20,000 in Kharkiv at this time.
"We are trying to help where we can. Just a few weeks ago, we were at least able to give 300 pairs of shoes to children."
But Bishop Shyrokoradiuk's influence is limited. To his knowledge, the aid intended for people in the self-proclaimed People's Republics of Donetsk and Luhansk does not reach those in need.
In western Ukraine, Bishop Vitaliy Skomarovsky of Lutsk also sees the consequences of the battles in the East.
"The war may seem far away. But in reality, many young men from the western part of the country have joined the war. Just recently, a row of fir trees was felled in the cemetery of Lutsk to bury 13 young soldiers."
Other cities have also buried soldiers killed in the line of duty. According to Bishop Skomarovsky, the Church is taking care of the bereaved as well as those families whose fathers have gone East as soldiers.
"The war is ever-present. We notice that financial resources are being used for it; many things in the social sector have been stopped. However, people are now doing a lot more on their own initiative, solidarity is growing among the people," Bishop Skomarovsky said.
Warm clothing, among other things, has been collected because many soldiers in the East are inadequately equipped and feel as though they have been abandoned.
With 35 parishes and 25,000 faithful, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Lutsk is the smallest in Ukraine. Until World War II, it was part of the Polish territory of Volhynia. Ukrainian nationalists carried out a number of massacres of the predominantly Polish population in the region, beginning in mid-July 1943. These were tolerated by the German occupying force. More than 50,000 people were killed.
As a result of the massacres, many Catholic parishes are still deserted today...

Obama & Merkel sounded delusional on Ukraine. Putin is attacking & taking European territory by military force. What diplomatic solution?
— Garry Kasparov (@Kasparov63) February 9, 2015
Obama & Merkel have given Putin every incentive to grab as much Ukrainian territory as he can, as fast as he can. No deterrence.

Until West realizes that what is bad for Russia has little to do with what is bad for Putin & act accordingly, this war will continue.

Jeff Bezos has named Fred Ryan to be the Washington Post's new publisher. Ryan is a former Reagan administration official. He served as Director of Presidential Appointments and Scheduling and as head the White House Office of Private Sector Initiatives. Near the end of Reagan's second term, Ryan became Assistant to the President, the highest level of staff position in the White House, as I understand it.
After Reagan left office, Ryan served as Chief of Staff to the former president. He was responsible for the establishment and operation of Reagan's office in Century City, and he helped create the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library.
Should liberals worry that Ryan's selection as publisher of the Post signals less leftism in the paper's news coverage and less liberalism in it editorial page? I don't think so.
Ryan co-founded Politico, which is about as reliably left-leaning as the Post. Moreover, those who have worked with various media companies owned by Ryan's corporation say he's a businessman above all else, and not one to attempt to influence the direction of coverage or editorial policy...
Bezos (Amazon/WaPo) hires a Reagan worshiper as publisher of WaPo to go along w/ his Amazon/CIA cloud partnership. http://t.co/fmOcrRgEXG
