On virtue
2 Peter 1:5-7 KJV
[5] And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
[6] And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
[7] And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
The definition of virtue from the 1828 Webster’s Dictionary:
Bravery valor. This was the predominant signification of virtus among the Romans.
Trust to thy single virtue
Moral goodness; the practice of moral duties and the abstaining from vice, or a conformity of life and conversation to the moral law. In this sense, virtue may be, and in many instances must be, distinguished from religion. The practice of moral duties merely from motives of convenience, or from compulsion, or from regard to reputation, is virtue as distinct from religion. The practice of moral duties from sincere love to God and his laws, is virtue and religion. In this sense it is true,
VIRTUE is nothing but voluntary obedience to truth. A particular moral excellence; as the virtue of temperance, of chastity, of charity.
Remember all his virtues.
Virtue is directly linked with courage. Without virtue, courage is often rare and impossible.
Today, there are many facets of virtue, but there are three behaviors, quite common among men and women, which make the practice of virtue very difficult to impossible. These behaviors are sex outside of marriage, particularly the related vices of masturbation and pornography, though fornication is a common vice as well. Secondly is the viewing of television and movies, which are full of violence, sex, and debauchery. Thirdly, is the use of psychotropic drugs.
Of course, there are other vices too, Pride, Lust, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, Greed, and Gluttony, are the seven deadly sins.
Without virtue, and avoiding vice, objective truth becomes very difficult to both see and practice, and without truth, life becomes very difficult indeed.
As a boy, growing up as one of 18 children, we were poor, and it’s sad the culture trains nearly all of us that family, love, and relationships aren’t worth anything. The culture trains us that money, things, popularity, and pleasure are what life is about. Back in elementary I remember all the kids around me with name brand shoes, popular t-shirts, jeans, backpacks, and their parents had nice cars and homes. I had very little of that, and yet, what I did have was more than all the money on earth could buy. I had a loving Father and Mother, happy relationships, and above all else, I had my innocence, which is the source of everlasting peace and joy.
How often the world will try to make us trade the valuable riches that we do have for the pathetic pleasures and riches that cost us what is worth more than anything else, our soul?
“If there is to be peace in the world,
There must be peace in the nations.
If there is to be peace in the nations,
There must be peace in the cities.
If there is to be peace in the cities,
There must be peace between neighbors.
If there is to be peace between neighbors,
There must be peace in the home.
If there is to be peace in the home,
There must be peace in the heart.”

It is impossible to have peace in the heart and home without virtue, and without virtue, liberty is impossible for the individual and the nation. Peace, joy, and liberty are inextricably bound up with virtue.
The ancient Greeks and Romans were big believers in virtue, long before Christianity.
Consider your origin. You were not formed to live like brutes, but to follow virtue and knowledge.
— Dante, 1265-1321, Italian poet
Pleasures are mortal while the virtues are immortal.
Αι μεν ηδοναί θνηταί αι δε αρεταί αθάνατοι.
— Periander of Corinth, 668-584 BC, tyrant of Corinth
Virtually every problem faced by the world can be fixed by virtue, and the more virtuous the average citizen becomes, the wiser and more knowledgeable their rulers will become. Right now, the citizens are corrupt and foolish, and so we have corrupt and foolish rulers.
Along with virtue, the order designed by nature and nature’s God must be adhered to. Part of this order is the role that God gave the man to lead the home, the marriage, the church, and nation, and the role given to women to bear, nurture, and care for children. A woman who leaves her role to care for the home, other women, and her children primarily, is a woman who begins to take on masculine attributes, and this leads to total chaos. For, where there is no order of roles, there can be no peace and harmony.
The Beatles Were an Illuminati Creation
Helen Gurley Brown Taught Women to Use Sex for Career, not Family
(l. Cosmo Editor Helen Gurley Brown in her office in 1965)
Women want love, marriage, and family. Men want Sex.
Before second-wave feminism, the watchword for women was “No sex before marriage.”
Feminists like Brown duped women into giving sex in exchange for NOTHING.Thanks partly to her,
almost 50% of American women are childless today. She deprived women of their honored natural
and social roles as wives and mothers. Feminism pretended to empower women while doing exactly the opposite.
“For every genuine case of men sexually harassing women, there are probably ten cases of women using sex for advancement. Helen Gurley Brown made that strategy explicit.” -Reader
Author of Sex & the Single Girl, Cosmo Editor Helen Gurley Brown, (1922-2012) taught women to sell their bodies rather than demand love, courtship, and marriage first. She was an Illuminati social engineer, a Satanist whore who made prostitution seem chic.
In her autobiography, “I’m Wild Again” (2000) she tells us right away that in 1941, at age 19 she joined an “escort service” and had sex with a 50-year-old man for $5 (worth $80 today.) Page 4 She also boasted she slept with 178 men before her marriage.
Feminism Tricked Women Into Giving Up Their Power
From Aug. 14, 2012 & May 21, 2019
By Henry Makow PhDIn 1965, Helen Gurley Brown, the editor of Cosmopolitan, said that a housewife was “a parasite, a dependent, a scrounger, a sponge or a bum.” She didn’t call them whores because she respects whores.
Her sister-in-arms, Betty Friedan, compared homemakers to “concentration camp inmates” because of the lack of stimulation and opportunity for advancement in concentration camps. (The Feminine Mystique, p. 306)
These mind-boggling attacks typify the vicious psychological war against society by Illuminati Satanists. Their program to degrade women, destroy families, arrest heterosexual development, create dysfunction, and reduce population has been devastatingly successful.
“The scale of marital breakdown in the West since 1960 has no historical precedent,” says historian Lawrence Stone. In 40 short years, the marriage rate is down by one-third, the divorce rate has doubled, the birth rate is one-half, and single-parent families per capita have tripled. Forty percent of all children born in the US in 2007 were out of wedlock compared to 4% in 1957. (Bennett, The Broken Hearth,p.10)
In 1952, the Rockefellers controlled $250 million dollars of media advertising annually. They hyped Helen Gurley Brown’s 1962 book, “Sex and the Single Girl” and the movie. Single women were told they should have careers and sex instead of family. At the same time, the Rockefellers were also funding and lobbying for population control and eugenics.
As editor of Cosmopolitan (1965-97), Brown was a role model for career women the world over (36 foreign editions.) She married her manager at age 37 and remained childless. Along with Communist activist Betty Frieden,and CIA agent Gloria Steinem, Brown belongs to the triumvirate of modern feminist social engineers. When she died, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said, “New York City lost a pioneer who reshaped not only the entire media industry, but the nation’s culture. She was a role model for the millions of women whose private thoughts, wonders and dreams she addressed so brilliantly in print.”

WHAT HOUSEWIVES ARE NOT…
Brown respects whores because prostitution is her program for women. In her autobiography, “I’m Wild Again” (2000) she tells us right away that in 1941, at age 19 she joined an “escort service” and made out with a 50-year-old man for $5 ($80 today.)
“Why wasn’t I revolted? I was a little but not utterly. I think even then I was a practicing realist… I tried to do whatever you needed to do to survive.” (4)
She got a secretarial job on the understanding that she would sleep with her married boss and he would “take care” of her in return. This arrangement lasted for a few years. She describes the routine:
“After cocktail hour we did go to my flat to make love. The lovemaking? …This was two people copulating — he seemed to have a good time…Moi learned to fake often and well.” (15)
Brown’s excuse is that she was helping a mother and invalid sister back in Arkansas. (Prostitutes generally don’t come from wealth.)
Her only regret: she never really got the promised financial payoff: “I needed somebody to tell me how to treat a man in this situation, how to flatter and cuddle and coo. I should have done it better.” (19)
Helen Gurley Brown became that tutor. She taught women how to parlay sex appeal into profit and control. She helped to transform feminine nature from love and devotion to calculated predation.
(At home with husband, producer David Brown)
Here is how she got her husband to marry her.
“You get the hook in. The darling, charming, delicious, sexy you has to have sunk into him so seriously; the hook [is] buried so deep he can’t get it out without severe pain, i.e. can’t live without you. You then close in and deliver your ultimatum. I had to deliver mine twice.”(27)
While Brown claims she was loyal, she thinks adultery is just fine. The man’s wife is to blame if he strays. Sex, Brown says, “is a physical feeling” and “it feels good… one of the best things we have….” not to be subjected to “a moral imperative.”
Suffocating a sexual urge can lead to “twitches, tension or depression” and driving “off a cliff some night.” (52) But, like a practiced madam, she cautions “never sleep with someone who has less money or more troubles than you.” (225)
Office romances and even sleeping with the boss are just fine as long as you’re discreet. (107) She tells her readers to make the boss “look good,” let him take credit for their work, and not complain about putting in extra hours.
Feminism, it seems, has removed wives and mothers from their families, and put them to work for corporations. Instead of serving husbands and children who love them, women now obey bosses who pay for their services and fire them in a downturn.
In Brown’s view, if a loving husband provides for a devoted wife, she is a “parasite.” But if she is a corporate slave or whore, then she is “independent” and “liberated.”
This quote from the review of a new biography reiterates her contempt for marriage and family: “When “Sex and the Single Girl” came out in the early 1960s, the most shocking thing … was Brown’s matter-of-fact attitude toward affairs with married men.”
Feminism is an excuse to sell yourself:
“…she recommended that her readers take advantage of the situation, milking a guilty and grateful married lover for gifts, money and workplace advancement, which Brown regarded as fair recompense for the fact that men got paid more than women and kept the best jobs for themselves.”
FAMILY vs. FEMINISM: THE BATTLE LINE OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER
The message that sexual urges were not to be denied, that promiscuity was “cool” and “modern,” was instilled in women to degrade them and undermine marriage. The state is intended to replace the family.
In reality, women achieve fulfillment through self-sacrifice. It is a vicious slander to portray devoted hardworking wives and mothers as “bums” and “parasites.”
The assumption that only work performed for cash (state/economy) is of value is sick. They want to denigrate the personal and spiritual realm, the private life of the family, and the effort that this entails.
Brown says, “Whenever you live through someone else, they want someone else.” This is simply not true. We love Mom because she put us ahead of becoming the top producer at Century 21. Love is self-sacrifice.
Beyond a certain point, worldly ambition in a woman is masculine and impersonal. America is full of bitter neutered women and befuddled emasculated men.
The only question remaining was, Was she Jewish? This is unclear, but she married a Jew and perfectly advanced the Masonic Jewish agenda.
Jews definitely mourned her passing. If she wasn’t an Illuminati Jew by birth, she was in every other respect. She did more than most to fulfill a primary goal of Communism- destroy the nuclear family.
