GEOPOLITICS: THE UNSEEN ROOT

Source: Wikipedia.


By Wolfgang von Eschenbach
June 20, 2019


In 1789, the same year that the Constitution of the United States came into effect, John Carroll, a Jesuit who was the first catholic bishop and archbishop in this young nation, founded Georgetown University.

Since then, according to some experts, this university has been playing a considerable role in US politics and policies, at home and abroad. This is the unseen root.

Let us not forget that at the root level in man´s world, from the beginning of civilisations up till today, religion and politics go hand in hand.

Why is this so?

Because (perfect) gods do not need to eat, but people do. 

Thus, any religious efforts to spread the so-called Word must sit on sound economic and political chairs. As simple as that.

Since we believe that intelligent people do not need much explanation, the following clip (Video 1) will show you what we mean by all of this:

COMPANY OF JESUS: FROM GENERAL TO GENERAL

William Pardow (1916: 16), a Jesuit priest himself, once wrote thatIgnatius was not born a saint. He was much like ourselves. He did such human things as to be vain and to fall in love. Then came sickness, and he read a book. When he arose from bed, the world was changed." 

Since then, what they can directly change, they change. And what they cannot directly change, they work hard so that others change what they want to change to get what they want to change. The idea is to change what they think should be changed.

Living in a world that is in constant change, they themselves also change what they think should be changed to adjust their changes to changing times.

And they change in company, for they are the Company of Jesus.

The following video shows one of their changes: The 30th General, Father Adolfo Nicolás Pachón, S.J., from Spain, saluting and greeting the newly elected 31st General, Father Arturo Sosa Abascal, S.J., from Venezuela:
