The New Nosferatu

Nosferatu

Directed by

Robert Eggers

2024

In 1922, the first version of Nosfetatu was released starring Max Schreck.The filmmakers were sued by the widow of Bram Stoker, the author of Dracula which was published in 1897. In truth, Nosferatu was a ripoff of Stoker’s novel with the names of characters changed. Dracula became Count Orlok.

Stoker’s widow won the lawsuit but fortunately prints of the film survived despite court orders to destroy them. The 1922 film served as forerunner to Bela Lugosi’s Dracula which was released in 1931. In 1979, Nosferatu was remade in German and that version of the film remains a horror classic.

Now we have another remake and this is excellent as well. This was a fun and creepy film with an excellent portrayal of Orlok/Dracula. This is one of the most disturbing portrayals of the count ever depicted. This is an original and creative take on the character. As great as Lugosi’s Dracula was, they got Rumania’s Christianity wrong. The villagers always crossed themselves in the Roman Catholic tradition.

This film depicts the villagers crossing themselves Orthodox style. There are Orthodox priests and nuns in this film, something I really appreciated. Previous to this, Francis Ford Coppola’s 1992 Dracula film showed the Orthodox but that film was boring.

This film is great and a tribute to old fashioned horror. Scary, creepy, suspenseful, and great atmosphere. Fine acting and directing. The best Dracula film in many years.

Transgenderism Being Challenged!

The war on children in America today must be challenged by Christians. Child sacrifice is under way in America. The State of California passed a law over the summer that would take children away from parents who refuse to affirm them as being the opposite sex.

Even in other states such as Wyoming and Indiana, families have had children removed from their custody for refusing to consent to “transitioning” their children. In one case in California, a boy was being socially transitioned (treated and dressed as a girl by his mother) at the age of two years old. In another case that started out in Texas and has moved to California, the boy was begun transitioning by his mother at the age of three years old.

The Supreme Court is presently hearing a case from Tennessee. The state of Tennessee has passed a law banning puberty blockers and perhaps more extreme procedures on anyone under the age of eighteen years. The ACLU and Biden administration officials are challenging the law. This will have a profound significance not only for the human rights of children and for families, but for freedom of religion and freedom of conscience as well. Fortunately, the Court has the reliable Justice Clarence Thomas and three justices appointed by Donald Trump in his first term of office.

In other news regarding the transgender horrors A twenty year old woman has filed a lawsuit against the notorious (for conservatives) Dr. Johanna Olson Kennedy. Dr. Kennedy is a long and passionate advocate for treating “transgender Children”. She was once recorded suggesting that young girls who came to regret trans surgery in their upper body could get artificial breasts.

The lawsuit claims that the now adult woman filing the lawsuit began seeing Dr. Kennedy at the age of twelve. At thirteen, she was put on puberty blockers, and at fourteen underwent a double mastectomy. This plaintiff asserts she did not receive psychological counseling (she had been sexually abused as a child) and that the good Dr. Kennedy frightened and alarmed her parents by stating that the then child would commit suicide if she did not transition. According to the plaintiff, she was never suicidal.

The war on children by trans activists and their lackeys in medicine and the Democratic Party precedes the Biden administration. But the Biden administration has given much support to this morally depraved ideological movement. Biden officials such as Dr. Rachel Levine (a trans official at the Department of Health and Human Services) openly advocate for lowering the age of consent so children can have the full surgery.

The Republicans in Congress have taken notice of the good Dr. Kennedy. In October, Dr. Kennedy (of children’s hospital in Los Angeles) conducted a study using taxpayer funds to inquire as to whether the use of puberty blockers leads to the improvement of children’s mental health. The study found there was no improvement.

Dr. Kennedy herself did not make the results of the study public. It is believed that she feared the “right wing” would use the results to discredit her”work” with children. The zealot seeks to carry on her work with young and impressionable children.

The election of Donald Trump will liberate the country from Biden and the lunatics he has appointed to office such as Dr. Levine. As Christmas approaches, we will worship Christ the King, and following Christmas the Church will commemorate the holy innocents slaughtered on the orders of King Herod. Let us give thoughts and prayers for the children being sacrificed on the altar of the trans cult.

Biden, the Neocons, and Hell

It appears that Syrian President Assad has left Damascus and the government has fallen. This may turn out to be like the Turkish entry into Smyrna a century ago. Since the first uprising in Syria in 2010 and 2011 the involvement of Al Quada and later ISIS was made clear.

It now appears the deliberate destruction of Syria is in an effort to hurt Iran. Syria is a longtime ally of Iran. The fate of the Christians should be of profound concern in Syria. In all likelihood, they will suffer the fate of the Greeks, Armenians, and Assyrians under the Turks a century ago.

The Biden administration has been the most disastrous and immoral since the Bush-Cheney administration. Having lost the election, the Biden administration supported Ukraine’s direct attack on Russian territory. Now they are supporting the further destabilization of the Middle East with the downfall of Syria’s traditionally moderate and pro Christian government.

Four years ago, the Trump administration left behind a world that was stable. There was no war in Ukraine and Trump himself had no desire to bring Ukraine into NATO. Trump’s biggest fault on foreign policy has been his support for Israel’s Netanyahu. But even there, as brutal as Israel was in Gaza, there was no outright genocide.

The people of Gaza became the direct targets of genocide during the Biden administration. An October article in the American Conservative suggested the Israelis were nervous about Trump’s return to power. What is certain is that the world is in a state of hell after four years of rule by this senile old man.

There is a good chance that Syria will either become an Al Quada or ISIS state, or a failed state with no real government that will serve as a base for jihadists to attack America, Europe, and Russia. Eight years of anti Russian hysteria in America and Europe and the biggest winners may be the jihadists.

The neoconservatives have succeeded in nearly destroying the world. From Ukraine to Nagorno Karabakh to Gaza to Syria, there is nothing but human misery. This is the world emanating from the LGBT cult which has reached the height of its influence in America under the senile old man.
