Episode 110 – Pilgrimage – Mind Virus Podcast

A pilgrimage is defined as a journey to a sacred place or shrine. And a pilgrim is defined as one who takes that journey. And Bobby Fludd is now, not only in form and function, but title, technically an official pilgrim. Join us today and hear tell of these great honors and the latest exploits of Mr. Fludd.

Once more with joy O my home I may meet
Once more ye fair, flowr’y meadows I greet
My Pilgrim’s staff henceforth may rest
Since Heaven’s sweet peace is within my breast.
The sinner’s ‘plaint on high was heard
accepted by a gracious Lord
The tears I laid before His shrine
Are turned to hope and joy divine.
O Lord eternal praise be Thine!
The blessed source of Thy mercy overflowing
On souls repentant seek Ye, all-knowing
Of hell and death, I have no fear
My gracious Lord is ever near

Alleluia!
Alleluia!
Eternally, Eternally
Wagner: Tannhäuser – Pilgrim’s Chorus

This website and podcast contains some quotations and excerpts from copyrighted material. These uses fall well within the copyright doctrine of "Fair Use."

Section 107 of the United States Code, Title 17, specifies the conditions under which, "the fair use of a copyrighted work . . . for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching . . ., scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright." It provides four considerations for determining fair use: (1) The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes, (2) The nature of the copyrighted work, (3) The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole, and (4) The effect of the use upon the potential market for, or value of, the copyrighted work.

The use on this website and podcast of other material is primarily for criticism, comment, news reporting, scholarship or research and teaching. (1) (a) The "purpose and character" of the website, podcast and any derivative book(s) are not commercial. (b) The overwhelming majority of the material is the authors' original work. It is in no way a mere collection of others’ copyrighted works, nor competitive with those sources. (2) The nature of the copyrighted work quoted is often "news" or "history," categories given lesser protection in fair use cases than works of fiction. (3) Most uses involve excerpts rather than entire works.

Because the adverse financial impact on copyright owners is central to the purpose of copyright law, and the analysis of alleged violations, it’s relevant to note that, under factor (4), (a) no one in search of the quoted material would substitute this website, podcast or related book(s) for the original source, (b) it is highly unlikely this website, podcast, or book(s) created from it will ever have more than a de minimis impact on any of the copyright works’ potential market, and (c) to the extent it might do so, it would be far more likely be a positive, rather than a negative, impact (by drawing attention to the work, crediting it, and providing a source where it may be found).

Congrats on your recent “pilgramage” Bobby. It’s a shame you must not have been worthy to proceed to the Grail the way Harrison Ford did in that documentary, Indian Jones and the Last Crusade.

Have you guys thought about who are the up and coming targets for discussion?
With Fauci stepping down at the beginning of the year and now Jacinda Ardern resigning this week, you are one Spencer Cox announcement away from needing a whole new Statist Trinity to talk about.
