by PAUL COLLITS – THE Paris Olympic Games has turned into a freak show celebrating weirdness and perversion.
The creative direction of the opening ceremony was delivered to a French homosexual activist who packed the performance with pro-LGBTQ messaging and anti-Christian mockery.
- Perhaps the Paris Olympics should be re-named the brownest ever games.
- It has neither cleanliness nor godliness.
- The perverts have named their enemy.
Thomas Jolly – you couldn’t make this up – was chosen for the job because he “was consistent” with the French Olympic Committee’s “vision”.
Here’s a headline you won’t see every day: Iran condemns 2024 Olympics for mocking Last Supper.
TURDS
Quelle horreur! Along with turds in the Seine, drag queens carrying the torch, the lights going out, the trains not running as a result of arson, the drenching rain and the poor Aussie girl gang raped by – was it Presbyterians? – you would have to say no wonder Channel Nine is losing millions on its Olympics coverage.
Jolly denies any reference to things Christian.
Well, he would, wouldn’t he? Of course, the French are easily confused.
It is only a matter of weeks since they voted in massive numbers for a Right-winger, then, shortly thereafter, changed their minds!
Non-Christian viewers of the catastrophic opening ceremony at the Olympics were merely offended by its length and endless boredom.
Here is another recent headline, from Alexandra Marshall at The Spectator Australia: The Olympics have gone to sh#t.
He continues: “PR is pretty bad when various officials, including the Mayor of Paris, have to jump in the river to ‘prove’ it’s safe for athletes. What an excellent vote of confidence for ‘The Greenest Ever Games’!”
Perhaps they should be re-named the brownest ever games. With neither cleanliness nor godliness.
But the problem is much deeper than faeces. This is just a useful metaphor for the decay of Western civilisation so clearly revealed in the Paris disaster.
Where does all the French blasphemy come from?
ENEMY
Bishop Barron of Minnesota and the Word on Fire Ministry said the blasphemous act was emblematic of a “deeply secularist postmodern society” that identifies Christianity as its enemy.
Other leaders have weighed in.
For his part, US Senator Marco Rubio, a Catholic, responded to what he called the Olympic “freak show” by quoting Jude 1:18: “In the last time there will be scoffers who will live according to their own godless desires.”
There was no accidental offence-giving here, despite the inevitable non-apology from the Games organisers.
Echoing Bishop Barron, the powerful Catholic Unscripted Podcast, featuring the Queen’s former chaplain, Gavin Ashenden, said: “The opening Olympics ceremony tells us they are afraid of Catholicism.”
It is out in the open. The perverts have named their enemy, in what some see as a spiritual, indeed Luciferian, war.
Their demonic propaganda – for that is what it is – is there for all to witness. Many Church leaders and Christians generally have taken to the airwaves since Friday, heeding Bishop Barron’s advice to be vocal and loud.
One voice, though, seems to have remained silent since the furor broke. Yes, you guessed it. Pope Francis doesn’t appear to be overly disturbed.
He was on-message, though, before the event.
During his Sunday Angelus address on July 21, Pope Francis expressed his hope that this year’s Olympics will bring athletes and spectators together and “peacefully unite people from different cultures”.
“I hope this event may be a beacon of the inclusive world we want to build and that athletes, with their sporting testimony, may be messengers of peace and authentic models for young people,” he said.
INCLUSIVE
Ah, that inclusive world. Perhaps the Pope has been busy working on his next anti-Trump speech.
Trump, of course, only two weeks ago, thanked “Almighty God” for saving his life. Ben Carson, a renowned American and deeply Christian friend of Trump, has suggested that God has great plans for the 45th and possibly the 47th president.
God’s plan for our man in Rome seems to be less clear.
Back to Paris and what Ashenden calls the “solipsistic madness” of the age, exemplified in hedonistic Paris.
In relation to the source of the blasphemy, in the case of the Olympics drama, failure has many fathers. Two specific French events come to mind.
The first was the French Revolution of 235 years ago this month, where the old order of hierarchy and tradition was, literally, put to the blade in a decade of Jacobin bloodlust and anarchy, carefully disguised as “liberte”.
The second was the other French revolution of the 1960s, the intellectual – if that is the right word – mopping-up operation led by a bunch of neo-marxists, critical theorists and assorted postmodernists that included Foucault, Derrida, Lacan and Lyotard (pronounced, yes, leotard).
The late Roger Scruton termed them, first, thinkers of the new Left, and later, “fools, frauds and firebrands”.
Look what happens when your intellectual parents are Freud and Marx, from Austria and Germany respectively. They were all there in spirit on Friday.
As were, no doubt, the neo-marxist sons and daughters of those who cancelled Scruton for writing the truth about their “intellectual” forebears.
Of course, two things that united the two libertine movements were opposition to the normal family and opposition to organised religion, especially Christianity.
These were, and are, the enemies of both the classes of 1789 and of 1968. The streets of Paris became rivers of blood in each case.
Roger Scruton witnessed the events of ’68 up close and personally, and they informed his then emerging conservatism.
And the French students of ’68 didn’t even have (or need) all the Algerian and Middle East migrants that have since invaded the place, roaming the streets looking for trouble and opportunities to destroy their new environment – and to rape Western women.
RADICALS
In more recent times, the new arrivals have proven to be unexpected and strange allies of the domestic radicals in their own war on the Western tradition. They were all Frenchmen back in ’68. Same as in 1789.
These blatantly queer Games are the direct descendants of Foucault and his peers and followers.
On this theme, the term Gay Paree is quite ironic, of course. The term was first used in the nineteenth century, as far as one can gather.
As Quora notes: “It’s ‘gay Paris’ (the French pronunciation of Paris is approximately Paree) and the term comes from a time when ‘gay’ meant ‘happy and carefree’. ‘Gay Paris’ means something like ‘joyous Paris’. It has nothing to do with homosexuality.”
Simpler times. Happy and carefree. In the same spirit, Humphrey Bogart said to Ingrid Bergman, “we’ll always have Paris”.
Then there is Ernest Hemingway, who wrote: “If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.”
Well, this diseased version of Paris that we now confront – with its reverse-colonisation from the third world, its Muslim rape gangs, its communist governance and its collapsing infrastructure – might be a grave disappointment to the late Hemingway. Let alone Bogart and Bergman.
But yes, the Paris of today is a movable feast. A giddy combination of Godless secularism, communism and anything goes bohemianism, informed by faux love-is-love, leave-truth-at-the-door satanism.PC
There are many lesbians and gay men who cringe at all of this stuff. We just happen to be part of a sexual minority. These clowns do not represent us. It is a small number of activists in league with big corporations and big government who want to drive an explicit anti-Western and anti-family agenda. They want to destroy truth and beauty. The ugliness of the open ceremony is not a matter of taste or something misunderstood. Promoting ugliness is precisely their point.
“Perhaps the Paris Olympics should be re-named the brownest ever games.”
Why not call it “The Olympic Gays”?
“God’s plan for our man in Rome seems to be less clear.”
Not so – the man is Rome is demon-possessed, and, as the leader of a pseudo-Christian cult which denies the both the Scriptures and the Saviour revealed therein, is destined for an eternity in the Lake of Fire. As an impenitent blasphemer who moves by an anti-christ spirit he will burn, and his fire will not be quenched.
Why do monarchists want Australia’s head of state to be inferior to a foreign power’s head of state?
