Apologize from the Dead?

Who is dead and who is alive, anyway?

A few years ago, the Pope apologized for Galileo’s persecution. I’m not quite sure what an apology meant under the circumstances, but it may have been good PR.

What about child abuse?

The Pope readily apologized to the victims of pedophilia by clergy already in 2018:

This happened well after the US lawsuits had driven many Catholic dioceses bankrupt, whether the accusations were provable or not. (It was, and still is, easy to frame anyone for “kiddie porn on their computer,” mostly with a deceptive e-mail, so church officials, having to choose between cooperation and prison, “cooperated.”) Another apology arrived in 2022 for the “evil or Canadian indigenous schools,” ignoring that Native American children were forbidden to use their languages in the US as well. The children were forced to those schools by poverty their governments were creating for their parents, and the teachers at the schools were, indeed, cruel. The intention was supposed to serve two purposes: learning English was meant to assimilate the natives, but it also gave the children a chance outside the tepee):

One must not forget that schools were also cruel even in Europe at the time with corporal punishment omnipresent.

At least, it turned out that the “hundreds of abused children buried at a Canadian missionary school” was a media hoax…

However, more apologies are demanded.

For one, certain parties are now demanding a papal apology for the Spanish Inquisition that allegedly had “millions of victims.”

There are about 50 documented deaths of the Spanish Inquisition. Of course, such documents tend to vanish over time. At the same time, human lives must not be subjected to statistics alone: a single innocent person’s death is just about as horrible as the deaths of millions.

In Spain at the time of the Inquisition, the secular powers (who often had church leaders appointed with the help of a little present for the Pope) went after the rich (esp. Jews, because they were the money-lenders with money; Christians were forbidden to lend money at an interest and Jews were forbidden to practise certain trades) in order to preserve cultural homogeneity and to have their money confiscated. Perhaps sick to the stomach, the Spaniards eventually switched to banishing Jews in 1498, which put an end to the popular spectacles of auto-de-fes (in Portuguese, it’s auto-da-fe):

Until then, the ecclesiastic courts went after the poor, too, perhaps in order to make the practice less obvious. Even if someone turned “penitent” and recanted, the punishments were harsh (e.g. years in a dungeon on bread and water or having to wear a wooden sign around the neck as a “penitent heretic” that ensured the person couldn't find work and would likely starve to death or would have to become an outlaw). The purpose of the Inquisition was to maintain social stability and secular leaders embraced the idea, because they needed stability and, as a bonus, they also grabbed the assets of the condemned.

As for the poor, if you reported heresy to the Inquisition only because you couldn't stand your next-door neighbor and no evidence was found, you suffered the same fate as the heretic would have, had he/she been found guilty. I am not saying that the main inquisitors were nice, but they certainly had varying preferences towards confessions due to torture, plus a lot depended on the interrogators. Either way, it was not a walk in the park for anyone. Today, once you are arbitrarily labeled a ter**o*ist, you can be kept in prison without a trial or a time limit. Even writing down the word “Con*ti*ution” in an e-mail or anywhere on the Internet goes into your records, because “it raises a red flag.”

The Enemies of the State?

Demanding apologies is a slippery slope.

When are Stalin and Pol Pot or their descendants going to apologize for killing literally millions?

In the US, whites are supposed to apologize to blacks, because a few of their African ancestors had been sold to slavery to merchants mostly from Porto and Amsterdam.

The Allies killed about 9 million civilians in Germany in WW2, most of them after turning down German offers for peace. The Allies’ concentration camps alone killed about 1.2 million Germans, civilian women and children among them, and tens of thousands of the original inhabitants of the German labor camps died of disease (mostly typhoid fever and dysentery) for lack of medication even after their liberation, while under Allied supervision. The Germans have been apologizing ever since. Did Churchill ever apologize for promoting the bombing Leipzig and Dresden that did not have any industrial or military targets, killing anywhere between 25 and 250 hundred thousand civilians (depending on who you believe), many POWs included? Hiroshima and Nagasaki were obliterated after the Japanese had been ready to surrender with the only condition that their Emperor would be left unharmed. The Vietnam War killed anywhere between 3.2 and 3.8 million Vietnamese (and a lot more American soldiers in the long run than the official tally of 50 thousand), but the US has always been good at killing people in remote wars against adversaries who posed no danger to America. Remorse? No way. Killing about 600 thousand Iraqi civilians in a trumped-up war over weapons of mass destruction that were exactly as real as the “covid” virus, many of them children, according to Madeleine Albright, “was worth it.” Certainly not for the Iraqi who, despite their numerous factions, had enjoyed stability under their dictator, Saddam Hussein, and not for the American taxpayer, who profited nothing out of the war, only accumulated more debt. Libya had high living standards until it was also destroyed by mercenaries (Gaddafi wanted to issue a gold-based currency) and the road to Europe opened up for people, whose culture is incompatible with traditional European standards, resulting in destabilization, ever-increasing crime, and a substantial loss of money funded by the taxpayer. Christans were just about eliminated, historic sites, whole towns, and economic functionality were destroyed in Syria by American mercenaries, and remaining American forces have been pumping up and selling Syrian oil ever since.

By now, killing Americans became the latest trend. The current death toll of the “covid” injection in the US alone is about 1.2 million. “Medical” treatment has been the third cause of death since the first such Johns Hopkins study in 2000 after cancer and heart disease, but nobody knows how much “doctors” have been responsible for deaths allegedly caused by cancer and heart disease.

Who is going to apologize? Certainly not the parties who have been following the following timeline:

In Case You Are in Doubt

If the globalist plans succeed, humans will lose their will and their meager independence from the state. They will be turned into cyborgs and will have to serve the “greater good” unti the AI running the worldwide simulation decides that they are no good anymore for “society,” and activates their graphene-based nanotech kill switches.

By all considerations, these people will be, or perhaps already are, dead well before the coroner’s report.

Humanity’s best chance is that the enforcers realize that they will not be spared, either and change sides. Without them, the death machine would grind to a halt. Everybody must keep informing them, because it's not going to happen only because the information is available in Substack articles.

Still, the threat of famine, immobilization, general poisonings, long blackouts, communication lockdowns, and civil turmoil are real (with WW3 on TV and an “alien attack” on the back burner), so preparing for hard times is also essential. Readers here often provide valuable information and ideas.

In the meanwhile, those who have nothing better to do, can apologize from the dead.
