Truth is the providence of aristocracy, those of ability and of agency. It is not that those who cannot tolerate truth are simply different – it is that they are inferior.

by Anne Summers The inability to face Truth, and the ability to take comfort in
by Anne Summers
The inability to face Truth, and the ability to take comfort in an omission of Truth is causally dense and nuanced.
Think of the poor guy who has to have his heart ripped out and frapped several times before he can accept that the “love” of his life isn’t. Even then, sometimes Truth can’t be brutal enough to get through to him about her nature.
The pain one feels when they willfully and honestly stare straight into the Mirror (in the mythological context of soul, or self examination) is similar to placing flesh over an ionizer – only it radiates from the heart/chest cavity and gut. It’s not an condition where one’s tolerance of the experience is sustainable.
I believe those conditions are the origin for the practices of sacrifice, sanctifying, purification and baptism. And later on in the ritual of expulsion what’s further conceptualized as forgiveness.
Somehow, the evil of doing wrong, of being wrong had to be expunged, numbed, healed and renewed. Verity, Truth, kills those not annealed.
(Truth is a luxury of security?)

THE PRICE OF TRUTH You know, truth is merciless, and the deflation and criticism
THE PRICE OF TRUTH
You know, truth is merciless, and the deflation and criticism of both mercies and taboos painful for all. There are very few of us who can tolerate investigating the truth. There are very few who will tolerate observing it.
I would prefer no one who knows me personally in real life read what I do, because they will eventually be horrified by something that violates their most sacred mythos.
This is one of the prices we pay for the truth – regardless of consequences.

—“The Spanish and Portuguese inquisitions focused particularly on the issue of Jewish anusim and Muslim converts to Catholicism, partly because these minority groups were more numerous in Spain and Portugal than in many other parts of Europe, and partly because they were often considered suspect due to the assumption that they had secretly reverted to their previous religions.”—

THE ORIGINS OF “KILL THEM ALL AND LET GOD SORT IT OUT” —“In 1209, Pope Innocen
THE ORIGINS OF “KILL THEM ALL AND LET GOD SORT IT OUT”
—“In 1209, Pope Innocent III decided it was time to crack down on followers of a religious sect that had become popular in Southern France. Originally called Albigensians, they came to be more widely known as the Cathars.
Cathars were Christians. But they rejected the authority of the Pope and other key aspects of Catholicism, so they were deemed heretics by the Catholic Church.
This apparently didn’t matter much to most people living in the French town of Beziers.
Catholics and Cathars had lived there together for many years in relative harmony.
On July 22, 1209, they were celebrating the annual Feast of Mary Magdalene together, a religious holiday observed by various Christian religions.
Suddenly, the festivities were cut short when an army of “Crusaders” sent by Pope Innocent III showed up outside the walls of the town.
The military leader of the army was Simon de Montfort, a French nobleman highly motivated by the Pope’s promise that he could keep the land of any heretics he killed.
The Crusaders were accompanied by an official representative of the Pope, a French Cistercian monk named Arnaud Amalric (also variously referred to as Arnald Amalric and Arnauld-Amaury).
De Montfort demanded that the leaders of Beziers turn over the town’s Cathar heretics to him. They refused. The Crusaders attacked.
According to accounts written decades later, as the attack began, a soldier asked Amalric how they would be able to tell which Beziers townspeople were Catholics and which were Cathars.
Amalric supposedly answered (in French):
“Kill them all. God will recognize his own.”
Some sources give the alleged quote as “Kill them all, for the Lord knows his own” or as “Kill them all. The Lord knows his own.”
It eventually came to be most commonly paraphrased as:
“Kill them all and let God sort them out.”

Roman has deleted his FB and Twitter Accounts, but still publishes on http://romaninukraine.com/ . You should follow him there. FYI: he has a wife and two year old that keeps him busy, and is working in management at a technology company in Ukraine. But he manages to publish quite a bit on his web site.

My favorite recent post on Romaninukraine is a rant about how banking with credit cards is literally impossible in Ukraine.
The reason is simple: VISA/MC, AMEX have flagged the entire country as high risk. This means that your cards rarely work online, and never outside the country.
I used German, UK, and Swiss banks.
But it is not uncommon in ukraine for the owners or maintainers of ATM machines to sell your card information to crime networks. Nor is it uncommon for restaurants and merchants to sell or use your card information.
I had to replace my cards, and have them sent from the UK about every three months.
This is the primary ‘cost’ of dealing with life in ukraine: (a) you need a foreign bank, and (b) it’s a cash economy.
Conversely, you can bribe people to get to the front of lines etc quite cheaply.Rafael AureliusBitcoin.Jun 21, 2018 6:42amCurt Doolittledream on.Jun 21, 2018 6:42amRafael AureliusAre you not a fan?Jun 21, 2018 6:43amCurt Doolittleit’s just a practical reality that its slow, costly, and not accepted in the mainstream.Jun 21, 2018 6:44amAnne SummersUkraine sounds like an interesting contrast.
