Paying Taxes & The Slaughtering of the Innocents

“The mandate was joyously obeyed, for the poor people imagined they were going to receive a reward.”
-Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich (visions of the Slaughtering of the Holy Innocents)

There is almost no limit to the magnitude of tyranny the population will obey in exchange for material sustenance or simply to enjoy the approval of their vicious masters.

According to the visionary Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich, when the time came for Herod to slaughter innocent newborn males, most Jewish families were anything but resistant. In fact, being dutiful to their authority figures, whom they feared, they willfully offered their defenseless children to be murdered. They had no qualms with following brutally unjust dictates from secular rulers (i.e., the ruthless King Herod).

I believe we’ve reached a similar decadence where the denizens of Western Civilization readily comply with a far more murderous regime by paying taxes and honoring today’s phony Caesars.

Slaughter More Children or Flee to Egypt With the Holy Family?

Whenever we volunteer to pay taxes (filing an IRS tax application, rather than await confiscation), we consent to whatever our oppressors wish to do to us. They seldom ever force anything any more; the docile public gives them what they want without the slightest confrontation. Americans (along with similar serfs in other countries) welcome their own destruction by cooperating with annual “tax drives.”

What does this chump charity finance for sovereign governments who NEVER balance their budgets?

• Millions of abortions each year
• Overseas conflicts
• Domestic surveillance, wiretapping, and other invasive tyranny
• Massive corrupt and self-serving bureaucracies
• Glorified bread-and-circus schemes (Medicare & Social Security)

Does this sound like something, which should be the basis for ALL of us “paying our fair share?” I suspect there is no fair share that should contribute to these awful aims.

Instead, it appears high time we withdraw our compliance, “go Galt” so to speak, detach from the world, and flee this secular malice. This was the example given to us by The Holy Family during their flight to Egypt, while the other Hebrew parents obeyed government procedures, enabling the Slaughtering of the Innocents. This is also what Sts. Elizabeth and Zachary did, at the command of God, by sending St. John the Baptist to grow up in the wilderness.

Both families recognized the impending dangers as well as the moral imperative to disobey the hideous requirements of maniacal authorities.

Leave The World → Let It Become a Desert

If you believe I’m suggesting something radical, then consider the examples of the saints. St. Alphonsus Liguori, referencing a “Fr. Horvat,” claimed that if everyone took their eternal destiny seriously, the earth would become a desert almost instantly. That’s because there would no longer be any interest in cultivating anything other than a loving union with God, to include penance for one’s sins.

Everyone would retreat to desert life, and that alone would exhaust the global hegemony’s coveted tax base in short order. The ensuing result would be the desertification of the rest of the world, leaving the tyrants with nothing left to pillage. Never forget that the secular parasites depend on ordinary worldlings chasing after success, money, comfort, and honor in order to have anything to consume or dominate.

If this were to happen, then detachment from the world would become standard fare. Nobody would worry about “muh salary and benefits,” or calculate the supposed costs and benefits of sacrificing children or the unborn to remain in any tyrant’s good graces.

With as bad as the world has gotten, and considering the possible loss of the Holy Mass itself, we have two choices:

1. Remain in the world with its titillations, fleeting pleasures, worsening scarcity, and mammon worship, all akin to murdering your soul.
2. Flee to the desert with Joseph, Mary, John the Baptist, and Jesus and await God’s providence.

Today’s World Empire → Worse Than Every Vile Kingdom in Biblical History

Remember that God punished his chosen people, the Israelites, by giving them precisely what they desired: a king. This paved the way for many of the hardships we’ve all faced ever since. You can refresh yourself of the details by reviewing Chapter Eight of First Kings.

In those days, because the Hebrews demanded to be ruled by a mortal monarch, God obliged them, omitting none of the requisite miseries that accompany Rule by Man.

• Mandatory male military service
• A loss of a tenth of all wealth
• Forced cooking and cleaning for women
• Confiscation of land for the king’s purposes

“Ah, but there is no forced cooking for women in today’s secular humanist paradise!”

Yes, for now . . .

What awaits us next (and is already here) will be much worse because not only will men pay taxes and fight wars, but so will women! As the American and European bank-ocracies inch closer to full conscription of young men, a similar fate awaits their female counterparts. Soon, every “strong and independent woman” will be forced to show their “rah-rah-you-go-girl” superpowers in violent conflicts reminiscent of Saigon or Fallujah.

Somehow, I imagine this won’t be popular once feminists realize that active duty won’t always involve a desk job, clerical work, or some type of computer programming . . .

By the way, did you notice how God (back in 1 Kings) only charged the Hebrews a “tithe” or 10%. Even as He chastises us, His punishments never approach the cruel severity of the modern pseudo-Caesars, who routinely confiscate well over a quarter of what anyone earns.

Taking all that into consideration, we’ve reached a point where tax-paying parents are doing essentially the same as the Holy Innocents’ parents, who offered them up for slaughter. If you pay taxes, you’ve reached a position we can only describe as auto-genocidal.

Greed & Murder: In Gospel Times & Modern Times

So much of today’s horrible plight, in no small way orchestrated by the murderous global state, revolves around brutality, greed, and indulging the passions. This is not the gentle peace-loving hippie facade of the 1960s (itself, a disingenuous farce). It’s as if we’ve reverted to the ways of those ancient assassins, who smoked Hashish, and killed whenever or whomever they pleased.

The villains in the Gospel (typically men of power, like Herod and his lineage) exemplified this. 2024 western civilization has plunged even deeper into these miseries.

Herod Not The Only Murderer, Though

That important Gospel episode (the Fifth Joyous Mystery, the Finding of the Child Jesus), illustrates further blood thirst, some 10 years after Herod stopped seeking to kill Jesus.

Once again, according to Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich, when the 12-year-old Savior taught the doctors at the Temple, he encountered men who ultimately wished to kill him. That would have been His reward for demonstrating far greater wisdom than they possessed. In a foreshadowing of things to come during His public ministry, Jesus only narrowly escaped the many Jewish murderers all around him (including among the professional classes).

Does that sound familiar? Have we too arrived at times where most professionals, experts, and (God help us) “public health authorities,” seek to kill as often as possible?

Culture of Death or Culture of Homicide?

I contend it is not enough to say our world basks in a “Culture of Death” as Pope John Paul II and various commentators have lamented. We must be more specific about the pervasive evil we face. Our world doesn’t celebrate mundane death so much as it does blatant homicide.

• Death Vaxes
• “Assisted” Suicide
• Rampant Abortion
• Political Assassinations
• Wars All Over the Place
• . . . countless other examples

These are not incidental deaths, folks. They’re premeditated; not the result of incompetence, either.

In yet another part of the Gospel, Jesus encounters authority figures who wish to extinguish his life solely for the crime of raising a man from the dead. This was obviously because they noticed the threat Jesus posed: the end of their hypocritical, Jewish oligarchy. With rulers like them (the Pharisees, Romans, etc.), if you infringe upon their greed, pleasure, or power, they will kill you. 

Despite All The Murder; No Love for the Holy Sacrifice Among “Modern” Catholics

Perhaps if it were just a Culture of Death, then the death fetishists would at least appreciate and venerate the passion, death, and resurrection of Our Lord. Nevertheless, among those tepid individuals, including most Catholics today, you’ll scarcely hear a word of it.

In fact, the rotten Antichurch bastards are ready to cancel any veneration of His Holy Death and sacrifice by suppressing the Traditional Latin Mass. For every other deviant practice imaginable, the pro-death crowd would insist that we “live and let live.” However, the authentic Catholic liturgy, properly emphasizing Christ’s redemptive sacrifice, cannot be permitted such liberty.

Modern society, which disdains laying down one’s life for one’s friends (as Our Lord did), insists there be NO genuine liberty; only mountains of libertinism.

Psalm 82 → Our Enemies Are Diverse and Abundant

Psalm 82 also foreshadows the struggle of just men against evil alliances all throughout history.

“For they have contrived with one consent: they have made a covenant together against thee,  7 The tabernacles of the Edomites, and the Ismahelites: Moab, and the Agarens,  8 Gebal, and Ammon and Amalec: the Philistines, with the inhabitants of Tyre.”

In ancient days, those idolatrous civilizations formed massive coalitions to conspire against God’s chosen people. Ironically, nowadays, we suffer chastisement from a group who exalt themselves as “the chosen people of Israel.” Though they are far from our only foes . . .

• Talmudic Jews
• Freemasons
• Moslems
• False Clergy (infiltrators)
• Sodomites

All those groups seek the destruction of anyone who espouses any small morsel of Traditional Catholicism, or any note of good will, for that matter. Yes, by the way, there is plenty of overlap among those aforementioned parties. 

The Gospel explains this dynamic in the narrative of Our Lord’s Passion. There, the alliance consists of Jewish clergy (Annas & Caiphas), the Roman secular authority (Pontius Pilate), and the diminished Hebrew secular authority (Herod). These men were responsible for murdering God Incarnate, either aggressively (the clergy), or passively (as with Pilate and Herod, who became friends over the matter).

Today, evil again opposes us pluralistically rather than as a singularity. Even if we examine just the Church’s ordained clergy, the same dynamic exists. There, we find an array of men who vehemently hate Catholicism along with those lukewarm clerics who blow with the prevailing winds, promoting no particular side; only their selfish survival. It’s no different from any other secular or cultural institution (the U.S. Congress, popular media, education, etc.).

The Irony of All This Animosity & Antipathy

At least when Adam & Eve plunged humanity into exile, they did so by foolishly coveting “forbidden fruit.” Ever since Our Lord’s Passion, men have incurred more and more curses upon themselves for wishing to murder the very Bread of Life, Jesus Christ. The wicked Jews insisted they (and their children) be cursed, whereas today’s antichristians (of which there are many) do the same by profaning the Holy Eucharist.

Cleanse the Temple of Greed & Usury? Then You Must Die!

What was it that tipped the scale in favor of crucifying Jesus Christ?

Aside from their loss of power, there was the element of greed, evident by the Jews reaction to Jesus cleansing the Temple. St. Matthew’s account of the Gospel places this event at the end of Christ’s ministry, not long before His apprehension, puppet trial, and crucifixion.

His cleansing of the Temple angered the greedy Jews, particularly the powerful ones who had established loan sharking and other forbidden commerce amidst the House of God. We might consider this disruption of Jewish greed as the straw that broke the camel’s back. Bust up the banksters, and you’ll pay with your life.

The Devil’s Temptations in the Desert: More Greed & Murder

The other accounts of the Temple cleansing occur at the beginning of the Gospel, after he had endured his fasting and temptations in the desert. During those temptations, you’ll notice how the evil one imposed the same manner of temptations on Jesus as those that consume modern men.

We hear all the time about pride and over-pursuit of power and vainglory. These are important, to be sure, but less attention goes to those other temptations, which assailed even Our Savior.

• Temptation to Greed/Covetousness/Gluttony → If thou be the Son of God, say to this stone that it be made bread.
• Temptation to Murder (oneself) → If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself from hence.

Obviously, Our Lord, invulnerable to Satan’s temptations, did not succumb to such trickery. However, it is some variation of these snares that lures so many powerful men to lie, cheat, steal, and murder (often simultaneously, according to one’s capability).

Is Killing Always Evil? What if God Asks It of Us?

Now, before we assume that “killing” always equates to “murder,” I’ll remind the reader that God does indeed command us to fight our enemies, sometimes to the point of bloodshed. In Caesar Vacantism (my book critical of fake rulers at almost every level), I devoted a section to this topic. It’s a sampling of the many times God called upon His holy heroes to vanquish their biblical foes with extreme prejudice.

I call it the “kill paragraph.”

“The bible is full of saintly figures who not only opposed their enemies, the enemies of God, but KILLED them. David KILLED Goliath. Judith KILLED Holofernes. Jael drove a nail through the head of and KILLED Sisera. Elijah KILLED the prophets of Baal. Jehu KILLED Jezebel. Gideon KILLED Zebah and Zalmunna. Mattathias KILLED the Jew offering sacrifices to idols and KILLED the Greek occupier who put him up to it. Phineas KILLED Zambri and Cozbi. Moses KILLED an Egyptian. Moses ordered the KILLING of the golden-calf idolaters and the KILLING of the schismatic who followed Korah. Joshua ordered many Canaanites to be KILLED when the Hebrews met resistance in the promised land.”
Caesar Vacantism (2020), Page 166

So, let us not delude ourselves into believing there is no room for violence for the virtuous Catholic. There is indeed a time to kill, once Divine Providence makes it clear to us.

Most of the time, however, the loss of life, especially children’s lives, are senseless acts perpetrated or abetted by the global hegemony. This is what your taxes, which you insist on paying, finance most effectively.

“Ha! You Don’t Really Avoid Paying Taxes, Do You? Liar!!!!”

I avoid them as much as I’m able. Other than the state property tax I pay on my car (which I may not need soon if the Traditional Mass disappears, negating my need for travel), I don’t comply. I haven’t filed an income tax for the past two “seasons,” and wish I had the foresight to have quit doing so much sooner.

Alas, even when I wrote Caesar Vacantism, I had yet to reach the conclusion that we needed to refuse participation in the annual confiscation process. I encourage you to consider this important method of resistance.

Conclusion – Stop Feeding the Beast

Regardless of how much you resist the state and its vampiric tax confiscation, you’d better bolster your spiritual life. As I always recommend, pray the Rosary (15 decades) every day, and beg God for guidance on how best to oppose the evil alliances of our times. At our particular judgements, we will be required to give an account for how much (or little) we fed the rotten beast of Zionist/Freemason/Sodomite secular humanism.
