Cracks in the Devil's Dam
Volume XXV, Number 16 – September 22, 2021
As I pondered our fasting and prayer initiatiaves of the Operation True Cross, the following image came into my mind. It will help you comprehend just how effective and history-changing your participation in this spiritual warfare to save America really is:
That's the largest dam in Europe. From a human perspective, the enemy can seem like a gigantic concrete barrier holding back an enormous Sea of Divine Victory.
Satan, who is using his worldly dominance (which is quite real) to drag souls into hell, however, is also attempting to fool us into believing an illusion: that the wall of this dam is unbreakable, all-powerful, and impenetrable.
I assure you this dam is a facade built upon a trillion horrific lies, occult practices, and mortal sins, held together by the unholy sacrifice of billions of unborn babies. The evil one would have us believe that our daily exorcism and Divine Mercy atonement prayers, along with every tiny act of self-denial we offer in union with Christ, are weak wooden arrows glancing and plinking off his terrifying superstructure.
Quite the contrary! From the supernatural perspective, we are firing potent, invisible, penetrating cruise missiles into this dam with every prayer and with every "No" to our desires to break our fasts or abandon our self-denials.
Cracks are FormingImpelled by grace, our prayers and reparations mystically pass through the facade, then burrow deep into the icy black heart of darkness, fatally disrupting an ever-more desperate enemy's inner workings and plans.
Cracks in the foundation are already forming. Hosts of Angels are storming the fortress! Even if we cannot see them from the outside, deadly fissures and explosions from our stealth bombs are wreaking havoc inside that fortress!
Listen closely. Can you imagine the sound of the cracks in the foundations growing? I can.
We, Our Lady's hidden remnant, shall continue to pound and pulverize the inner workings of that dam until the entire satanic edifice finally collapses in a (metaphorical) matter of minutes.
Many of our fellow countrymen, especially the ones who serve the father of lies, oblivious to this unseen battle of powers and principalities, will be shocked when the walls of Jericho crash down.
You will not be.
When the dam breaks, torrents of Holy Spirit Grace will pour forth from the sea and cover the entire world in a Eucharistic Reign of Christ. In the Holy Name of Jesus, I declare this victory and you should declare it with me:
We will see this entire structure fall soon (in God's version of "soon," at least). This is the battle that matters most. If you are with me and our founder, Father John Anthony Boughton, during these crucial times, you are on the front lines, climbing out of the trench and into the field of battle, day after day, with serene confidence—all of us mere humble grunts following upon angelic hosts led by Saint Michael and the Guardian Angel of the United States!
Future Cathedrals and HymnsAfter the victory, our children and grandchildren shall build cathedrals upon the rubble so future generations will always remember this moment in salvation history when the Mighty Hand of Our King swept those demons back into the abyss. Hymns will be composed to commemorate Immaculate Mary's great triumph to end this corrupt, baby-murdering, God-ignoring era!
So please, my friends, keep the image of that fake dam in your mind as you fire cruise missile after cruise missile until the victory is complete. As for me, I shall never, ever give up, especially knowing that so many of you, Mary's army of the willing, are with me.
JOIN OPERATION TRUE CROSSPerfection is Completion
• Pray the Daily Prayers
• Distribute the Daily Prayers
• Be Free of Demonic Influence
• Give Alms to Atone for Sin
I want to introduce you to a better definition of the concept of perfection to help you deal with life. A modern understanding is that perfection refers to something that does not have any flaws.
However, the Latin root word, factus, means done or finished, and the prefix per means through. Therefore, a better definition of perfection refers to something that is completed to the end. Perfection, in terms of human action, is following through until finished.
For you, as a Catholic, or a father or mother, or a worker, or in our case today, as someone involved in a prayer movement, perfection means finishing what you set out to accomplish.
So finish things. Complete your tasks. Don't worry so much about how well you do things; concern yourself with completion, even if you make mistakes along the way according to some unattainable standard of flawless "perfection".
Completed tasks, in this sense, are perfected tasks.
"Anything worth doing is worth doing badly."
- G.K. Chesterton
This applies to your spiritual life. Imperfect prayer, imperfect fasting, and imperfect parenting tasks can be completed. Mess up along the way, sure, but don't give up. We can be perfect as the Father is perfect if we look at the burdens in our lives as challenges to be faced and finished.
Perhaps this is what Jesus was referring to when He warned that no one who looks back from the plow is fit for the Kingdom of God. "Finish plowing," in other words, once you know God's will for any given situation.
And was Jesus "perfect" during His passion? No, he fell three times. He needed help carrying the cross. He was thirsty. He strained and struggled back up three times. Getting back up, my dear friends, is part of perfection. "It is finished," he proclaimed just before death.
"Whoa-Oh, We're Halfway There...""...Livin' on a prayer." I'm sending this out on Wednesday, having just finished off nine straight days of strict fasting. (For some bizarre reason, for the first time in my life, my neck began aching all the time a few days ago, but I'm hanging tough.)
Today, Wednesday, marks Day 10, and thus we begin the "second" of our back-to-back novenas to call upon our Everlasting God to directly intervene to save our country.
If you are reading this before September 30th, it is not too late to join the rest of your fellow Catholicity Citizens, so order the new book version or please print out (or bookmark) the Daily Prayers to Save America and start praying today:

A benefactor from Australia (which has become a totalitarian hellscape), asked me if this prayer initiative counts for nations outside America. Of course it does. Just mentally "add" your country into the prayers. (I always include Canada in my heart.) Plus, if America is not transformed through divine intercession, billions of Christians will suffer all over the world.
Remember This Image While PrayingLike the Jewish captives in Babylon, for generations we have been waiting for God to deliver us from the diabolical entities dominating our planet. Despite reassurances from Our Lady herself that an unprecedented period of peace will be granted to the world, such a long wait makes it easy to become discouraged.
Little Flower NovenaIf you need a special favor from heaven, you can also begin a nine-day novena tomorrow (Thursday September 23rd) to Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, to culminate on her feast day, October 1st.
October 1st is my birthday, so she's my girl. I will offer my novena for your intentions. What is a Bud, after all, if not a little flower?
Thanks for Having My BackI especially want to thank the many, many people who emailed me with your commitments to undertake various forms of self-denial to join my own 18-day fast. It's simply not possible to answer all of you right away, but I will get back to you when I can.
Thanks for having my back.
5 Reasons It's Never Too LateIn case you missed the original announcement, here are five reasons to join us "late," starting today:
1. As with every army, God needs reinforcements. You can help us finish off some of the bad guys, who are already reeling and wounded. Every defeated demon represents a real person in this world being released from the bondage of sin. Real conversions will happen which otherwise would not.
2. Prayer (and optional fasting) is good for our country and crucially, it's always good for you. It is effective training for future spiritual battles. Before the victory, things are likely to get pretty grim in the short run, so it is a way to prepare your spirit for persecution.
3. As I always say, God is not a bureaucrat. It is never too late to do a good thing. You are not late if you finish with us.
4. Based on numerous emails I've received from your fellow CatholiCity Citizens, this initiative is beginning to spread beyond our humble little apostolate. Store up "treasure in heaven" by sharing this email with others.
5. While not exactly fun, spiritual warfare can be deeply satisfying because the spiritual fruits are so numerous. It is always rewarded with a clearer personal knowledge of God's will (which the saints call spiritual acuity or "sight"). We receive the sublime joy of helping souls convert. We also enjoy the sweet hope that comes from fighting for our children's future. Finally, you receive the warrior's reward of heavenly honor, grounded in a properly formed patriotism.
Please hit reply and let me know if you're with us, and, what kind of self-denial you are offering to arm those spiritual cruise missiles. It encourages me more than you can imagine.

Next time, I will tell you about our mini-pilgirmage last weekend to permanently place your intentions at the National Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help in Wisconsin. As a preview, that's my son Xavier and his friend Anthony Mencini just paces away from where Mary appeared after we finished the Daily Prayers to Save America.
With Saint Joseph,
Terror of Demons,
William "Bud" Macfarlane
Founder
P.S. If you feel prompted to support our work, Anthony asked me to remind you that we still have plenty of unique Holy Land rosaries pictured below.
It's loaded: touched to my True Cross and first class relics, blessed by a priest, sprinkled with Lourdes water, with a custom Holy Sepulchre Crucifix, gift box and pouch, and a leather tie I hand-carried to the Holy Land.
