Re: “‘Santa’ founded Mustard Seed,” April 17.

Gipp Forster is widely applauded for his founding of the Mustard Seed, and rightly so, but before that there was another aspect of Gipp that bears remembering — his support of music in Victoria during the late 1960s.

Gipp ran Gipper’s Underground, a popular folk coffeehouse in the basement of the (then) Century Inn.

His wonderfully inviting and friendly nature soon attracted a large following and made it “the” place for folk music in the city.

I was a frequent guest and performer there, as were most of the folkies in town. At the height of the “folk boom” of the 1960s, Gipp’s was a place we could go and play the open stage, hear the latest songs, trade guitar licks, talk about music and hear the wonderful acts he brought in.

I remember several appearances by Sonny Terry and Brownie McGee, as well as Valdy and a very young Ann Mortifee, among many others. Gipp always had a hearty welcome for everyone, and usually a story as well, and he hosted the place with warmth and humour.

He ran it with generosity as well, as he had a “free list” of performers who didn’t have to pay, and I am sure that affected his revenue flow, but that was not the main thing for Gipp — it was about community. At the time, Gipper’s was the only place like it, and it helped to form some notable musical careers.

Agnes of Montepulciano, O.P. (1268–1317), was a Dominican prioress in medieval Tuscany, who was known as a miracle worker during her lifetime. She is honored as a saint by the Catholic Church.

[edit]Life

Agnes was born into the noble Segni family in Gracciano, a frazione of Montepulciano, then part of the Papal States. At the age of nine, she convinced her parents to allow her to enter a monastery of women in the city living a simple, contemplative life, known as the “Sisters of the Sack”, after the rough religious habit they wore. She received the permission of the pope to be accepted into this life at such a young age, normally against Church law.[1]

In 1281, the lord of the castle of Proceno, a fief of Orvieto, invited the nuns of Montepulciano to send some of their Sisters to Proceno to found a new monastery. Agnes was among the nuns sent to found this new community.

In 1288 Agnes, despite her youth at only 20 years of age, was noted for her devotion to the Blessed Sacrament and deep life of prayer, and was elected as the abbess of the community. There she gained a reputation for performing miracles: people suffering from mental and physical ailments seemed cured by her presence. She was reported to have “multiplied loaves”, creating many from a few on numerous occasions, recalling the Gospel miracle of the loaves and fishes. She herself, however, suffered severe bouts of illness which lasted long periods of time.[1]

In 1306 Agnes was recalled to head the monastery in Montepulciano. She presided over this monastery until her death. After her return, she proceeded to build a church to honor the Blessed Mother, as she felt she had been commanded to do in a mystical vision several years earlier. She also had a vision of St. Dominic Guzman, under the inspiration of which she led the nuns of her monastery to embrace the Rule of St. Augustine as members of the Dominican Order in that year. She was frequently called upon to bring peace to the warring families of the city.[1]

By 1316, Agnes’ health had declined so greatly that her doctor suggested taking the cure at the thermal springs in the neighboring town of Chianciano Terme. The nuns of the community prevailed upon her to take his recommendation. While many of the other bathers reported being cured of their illnesses, Agnes herself received no benefit from the springs. Her health failed to such a degree that she had to be carried back to the monastery on a stretcher.[1]

[edit]Veneration

When Agnes died the following 20 April, the Dominican friars attempted to obtain balsam to embalm her body. It was found, however, to be producing a sweet odor, and her limbs remained supple.[1]

When her body was moved years after her death to the monastery church, it was found to be incorrupt.[2]

The Dominican friar Raymond of Capua, who later served as confessor to St. Catherine of Siena, wrote an account of Agnes some fifty years later. He described her body as still appearing as if she were alive. Catherine herself referred to her as “Our mother, the glorious Agnes”.[1]

Agnes was canonized by Pope Benedict XIII in 1726. Her feast day is celebrated within the Dominican Order on 20 April.

GOYO DE LA ROSA: Details of preliminary designs for EARTH WEEK-EARTH WALK overhead street banner, circa 1993

+++

The unjust war-mongering Globalist Times Colonist published a full colour photo by Lyle Stafford of the Earth Walk banner which I naively painted in 1993 in Chinatown, not knowing any better.

The Earth Walk banners were painted by myself without assistance, upstairs on the roof of the corner building above the Quanlee’s grocery store, accessed from Andy Sinat’s famous topfloor studio, next to which I had sublet another studio for a couple of years…

Andy encouraged me to paint both banners out there on the roof, which worked great for ventilation and space.  I hope I didn’t bring him to much grief from his landlord for any reason, and appreciate his support to this day…

I can’t find a copy of Stafford’s colour photo online, but it was published on the back page D12 of the GO EXPLORE section of the Thursday, April 18, 2013 number of what some people call the ‘Crimes Communist.’

Shamefully, the TC pushes trash culture with all its might, and so they put a full colour first page photo of the Motley Crue band on the front of the section, coming to you soon at your publicly funded white elephant of an arena… this is certainly not culture of any quality that taxpayers should subsidize, but of course we do, and have been subsidizing the importation of this type of trash culture ever since the damn place was built.

LA ROSA NO. 28, MOTHER’S DAY, 1995, CHINATOWN STUDIO:

‘Goyo de la Rosa’ is on the left, EARTH WALK banner behind joyous friends of LA ROSA

+++

Anyway, I had fun painting two similar designs on different-sized banners provided to me by the peace group of the day, who had just changed the name of the event.

After the now infamous big eugenicist ‘green’ Globalist conference in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 (which produced United Nations’ Agenda 21 ‘sustainable development’), the Victoria peace group changed the name of the event to Earth Walk from Peace Walk, so they needed their old banners to be painted over, each using a different type of paint.

One banner was hung across Douglas Street near the Dairy Queen bend in the street, and the other is usually carried by Earth Walkers at the front of the parade, thus making a very colourful photo opportunity, as it has psychedelic rainbow colours, definitely influenced by my stay in old San Francisco.

I now see ‘green’ Globalism as a very dangerous eugenicist cult and so I resist it with every ounce of my Christian blood, and so, even though it was a pleasant experience at the time, I now regret the misleading message I am responsible for having painted, in my ignorance, on these ‘green’ Globalist propaganda pieces of historically significant art.

This seems odd for me to admit to my fellow ageing hippies, other interested anti-Globalists and pro-life readers now, but it is the stark and mysterious truth of the circular historical path of my pilgrimage to the Almighty at 60 years old.

Today, if God wills it and weather permitting, I’ll go down to Sainte Anne’s with the Earth Walkers, as an interested historian, as a free man seeking nomination signatures to stand as an independent  non partisan candidate in the upcoming provincial election, but certainly not in solidarity with the evil eugenicist New World Order of tyrannical ‘green’ Globalism… never, but certainly in resistance to it.

Faith is Freedom

CharacterDriven

Having faith in God is one of the most punk things we can do in a world that has been co-opted by a hell bent agenda.

Today’s show takes back the power of prayer, psalms and faith-focused living amidst the lies and deception of the power mongers who would have us filled with fear in a world of chaos.

This is a shout out to all those who have been the targets of the tactics of those whose only hope for victory is to put us into slavery.

The slavery of the soul is the most insidious of all prisons and through our unwillingness to capitulate…through our profession of faith and trust in God…we are able to overcome the powers of darkness that prey on our souls.

All people listen up, I am not going away, I am not going to shut up and I am not a victim but a survivor of something I refer to as Covert Harassment all brought about initially because I was concerned for my then young children and was alarmed to have my son (4 at the time) say to me, “I can’t talk to you Daddy, the man’s going to hurt me.”

Inadvertently this threw me down the rabbit hole but I am still here and I will not go away.

I have learned in the past 17 years of trying to unravel this mess what a mess the world is in and how much we have all been lied to.

Do not be afraid to step outside your comfort zone and risk appearing crazy because the crazy ones are the ones still clinging to this idea that someone or something(i.e. government) is looking out for you.

They are not!!!!!

Short personal impression of these two CharacterDriven podcast interviews between Steven Shellen and Joan Isberg-Herron by Gregory Hartnell…

Listen to two former classmates reminisce about live animals brought into their elementary classrooms… and many other bizarre things experienced over four and half decades or so…

Australian-born animal liberationist Lynn Hancock was an early friend of David Suzuki and her classes at Monterey Elementary in Oak Bay were places where small children were first introduced to the idea of animal worship, and that they were part of Gaia.

After Hiroshima and Nagasaki, highly controversial ‘green’ Gaian Globalist ‘junk science’ or scientistic theories of transhumanist evolution, anthropogenic ‘global warming’, rationalized geo-engineering, animal liberation, overpopulation hysteria, ‘clean peaceful safe nuclear energy’,  ’compassionate englightened eugenics’, ‘sustainability’ cultism, ‘climate change’ alarmism, and ‘humanitarian intervention pro-emptive war’ propaganda were introduced  into all of the elementary public school classrooms around  the world, and Oak Bay in the late sixties was no exception.

Long before the BBC, the CBC, the Discovery or History Channels, UN Agenda 21 ‘Local Sustainable Development’ or the Earth Charter, the National Geographic Society monthly magazine and its Canadian counterpart provided monthly Globalist brainwashing propaganda to the middle classes in North America in praise of the Utopian New World Order’s  fascist-socialist corporatist economic cartelization schemes, the Death Cult’s obsessive race-based anthropological classification systems, their drone photos for geographic mapping and their relentless planetary ‘family planning’ (depopulation) pornography .

Hollywood has long been a key production and distribution centre of such anti-humanist’green’ Gaian Globalist propaganda.

It is fascinating to hear these truth-seekers as they describe their own awakening to faith in God, grave doubts about the dangerous eugenicist Agenda of the planet-worshiping Globalists and the inexorable spiritual call to peaceful activism.

We learn that all of us have been programmed into a dumbed-down denial of the obvious by the Machiavellian mind control of a kind of evil Matrix, but that there is true freedom to be found in our personal faith in, love for and hope to always be with the Creator.

That faith, love and hope empowers us to find and recognize new energy to use on all of our own God-given talents to keep spreading the Good News of the Gospel.

Thanks, Joani and Stephen, for your honesty, humility and inspiration!
