    Barbuda Civilization Extinguished
    “For the first time in 300 years, there’s not a single living person on the island of Barbuda...a civilization that has existed on that island for over 300 years has now been extinguished.” - Ronald Sanders, Barbuda Ambassador to the U.S.

    Needless to say, Barbuda remains in a state of emergency.

    Ambassador Sanders has stated that the humanitarian crisis has exploded to unmanageable levels, and that the island itself is now "uninhabitable."

    Financially, Barbuda is also unable to cover the costs of rebuilding. Sanders continued:

    "We are hopeful that the international community will come to our aid, not because we’re begging for something we want, but because we’re begging for something that is needed.”

    APOCALYPSE CIAO
    Famous Italian exorcist claims recent hurricanes and rise of ‘devil-backed Kim Jong-un’ are signs of IMMINENT APOCALYPSE

    Don Antonio Mattatelli is one of the most famous exorcists in Italy and regularly makes public statements warning of the devil’s work

    A WELL-known Italian exorcist has claimed the recent hurricane storms and flooding to rock the planet are signs of an imminent biblical apocalypse.

    The famous demon hunter also believes the devil is the real reason for the rise of war-mongering North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

    Don Antonio Mattatelli made the alarming claims in response to a string of natural disasters in his home country of Italy.

    He said: “All natural disasters, such as hurricanes and earthquakes, demonstrate that the end of the world is coming.

    “It will not be the end of the world in general, but of this world yes.

    “Natural phenomena so sudden and powerful shows that, there is no confidence in the future and we have come to an end of modernity”.

    Don Antonio is one of the most famous exorcists in Italy and regularly makes public statements warning of the devil’s work.

    He believes that Satan is present on the internet and that demonic possession can take place online.

    The exorcist made his latest pronouncements after Italy became the latest in a series of countries to be hit by extreme weather.
    .......
    In the past week the country has also been hit by an earthquake, the epicentre of which Borgorose in Rieti province in the Lazio region of Italy.

    As well as speaking out about natural disasters, Don Antonio commented on the current geopolitical situation.

    He said: “Behind Kim Jong-un is surely Satan, in North Korea all are forbidden religion and there is only the idolatry of the leader who has replaced God.

    “He could be exorcised remotely with prayer, as Pius XII did by the Vatican with Hitler.”

  4. More control by the few....the "re-education" will continue:

    Amazon Is Hungry and It’s Coming for Your Cable Channels

    Amazon already accounts for about a quarter of all online sales in the United States. Now the company is holding talks to supersize its video-channel business, not just in the U.S. but around the globe.

    In the past few weeks, Amazon has started talks to buy scores of small television channels, several major program providers confirmed to NBC News. A representative for Amazon declined to comment, but hinted there will be much to say in the coming weeks about its efforts in online video.

    Currently, subscribers to Amazon Prime get TV, movies and music, as well as free shipping on online purchases. They can also pay extra for premium channels such as HBO and Showtime, along with a host of niche-interest services on topics such as health or horror.

    As traditional pay-TV providers scale down their offerings into cheaper so-called skinny bundles, Amazon is looking to scoop up smaller TV channels with minimal distribution in order to build itself into a video destination for every imaginable niche, with a particular focus on millennial audiences. Many networks have channels like these, including Turner Broadcasting’s Adult Swim and Boomerang, or Viacom’s VH1 and CMT.

  6. "Flocking" to Akita?

    Crying Madonna statue beckons pilgrims from far and wide

    AKITA--Foreign pilgrims are flocking in their thousands to a remote Catholic convent chapel here in far northern Japan to see a statue of the Madonna that once shed tears.

    “We are often asked how to reach the Handmaids of the Eucharist,” said a staff member at the tourist information center in JR Akita Station.

    ........."I have long wanted to come here all the way to see her,” said a visibly excited Roselyn Manus, a 48-year-old doctor from Washington D.C. “We all felt that we are very blessed, and we felt happy from the inside. I would definitely recommend here to my friends.”

    She was part of a 15-strong group visiting in July that included her 78-year-old father Aldrico and 77-year-old mother Rosie, who live in the Philippines, along with other relatives.

    The statue was created in 1963 by Saburo Wakasa, a sculptor based in Akita.

    In 1975, the statue suddenly shed tears for the first time. News of the "miracle" put the isolated convent in this part of Japan's snow country on the map.

    J.J. Watt's Hurricane Harvey relief fund closes with over $37 million raised
    Josh Peter, Sept. 15, 2017
    https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/texans/2017/09/15/jj-watt-hurricane-harvey-relief-fund-ends/672397001/
    J.J. Watt's fund for Hurricane Harvey victims in Houston raised more than $37 million before it was closed Friday at the request of the NFL star, according to YouCaring, the company that handled the online donations.

    "If there is one thing that I have taken away from these last few weeks, it is the reassurance of how much good is out there in our world,'' wrote Watt, an All-Pro defensive end for the Houston Texans, in a message on
    his fund's page at YouCaring.com. "When times are the toughest, humanity stands at its strongest and you have all helped to prove that emphatically.''

    When the fund closed at 6 p.m. ET Friday, Watt wrote, efforts would shift from fundraising to ensuring the money is put to work for the people in the devastated areas in and around Houston.

    Watt started the online campaign Aug. 28 with a donation of a $100,000 and a goal of raising $200,000. More than 200,000 people donated, most at less than $100 apiece.

    "There are many places you could have donated your hard-earned money and I’m honored you have chosen to join this effort to support the people who were affected most by Hurricane Harvey,'' he wrote. "Please keep this spirit of helping one another alive. The world is a better place when we all take care of each other."


    I pray we hear more and more stories like this story about J.J. Watt and less stories like the following one,

    apocalypse 2017: Catholic saint predicted MEGA-TSUNAMI would hit US THIS WEEK
    David Trayner, EXCLUSIVE
    9-11 minutes
    How a tsunami could wipe out East Coast of America
    A Catholic soothsayer, who correctly predicted World War 2 and the 1981 assassination attempt on John Paul II, said a huge tsunami would devastate the US, a Christian author claims.

    Sister Lucia of Fatima saw a vision of a massive earthquake and the “sea overflowing”.

    The Vatican has endorsed Sister Fatima’s visions – and is in the process of making her a Catholic saint.

    In his book Unveiling the Apocalypse, Emmett O’Regan claims Sister Lucia foresaw a volcano in the Canary Islands erupt and then collapse into the sea – causing the massive tidal wave.

    [​IMG] GETTY

    TSUNAMI:Sister Lucia of Fatima predicted a giant wave would engulf the US, it is claimed
    Chillingly, this vision appears to match descriptions of the end of the world in the Bible.

    Scientists have warned this exact event is very likely to really happen.

    The volcano Cumbre Vieja on the Canary island of La Palma is at risk of falling into the sea, causing a wave between 650 and 1,500 metres high, according to research by the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics at the University of California and the Benfield Greig Hazard Research Centre at University College, London.

    The tsunami would race across the Atlantic and hit the US east coast.

    By the time it reached New York it would be twice as high as the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami, which killed 250,000 people around the Indian Ocean.

    [​IMG] GETTY

    DANGER: Part of the Cumbre Vieja volcano on the Canary island of La Palma
    “The oceans will flood entire sections of the Earth”

    Pope John Paul II
    The volcano slipped closer to the ocean after an eruption in 1949 and again in 2001 – and now hangs by a thread.

    Mr O’Regan told Daily Star Online: “The Third Secret of Fatima appears to suggest that the greatest threat to America is that posed by a future mega-tsunami emanating from the Canary Islands.

    “When the seer of Fatima, Sister Lucia, was instructed to write down the contents of the Third Secret in 1944, she was shown another vision of a terrible tsunami claiming countless lives, after the collapse of a mountain.”

    SAINTLY: The Vatican is in the process of making Sister Lucia of Fatima a saint
    An increasing number of doomsayers believe the apocalypse is about to start.

    Christian fanatics have matched Bible prophecies with the movement of the stars and planets to predict the exact date of Armageddon – on September 23, 2017.

    Mr O’Regan told Daily Star Online the extremely rare total solar eclipse in the US last month was a sign the world would be punished.

    The so-called Great American Total Solar Eclipse – which many conspiracy theorists agree was a sign the world is about to end – was the “Sign of Jonah” from God, he said.

    Other conspiracy theorists, including mega-church Mark Blitz, have used Mr O'Regan's research on the eclipse to claim the end of the world will start on September 23 – this coming Saturday.

    Mr O’Regan also pointed out it is exactly 100 years since Sister Lucia saw the apparitions of the Virgin Mary – who warned her about the apocalypse – in the town of Fatima, Portugal.

    He told Daily Star Online: “Many Catholics are anticipating this year to be a major game-changer concerning prophetic events, as it marks the centenary of the apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima.”

    Sister Lucia made a series of predictions called the Three Secrets after her and two of her cousins saw visions of the Virgin Mary six times in 1917.

    The final vision was said to be witnessed by 70,000 people – and included the sky going dark in an event known as the “Miracle of the Sun”.

    [​IMG] GETTY

    HOLY: The Vatican has already designated Sister Lucia as a 'Servant of God'
    Sister Lucia wrote down the three messages Mary gave her. The first two, which she wrote in her 1941 autobiography, described hell and predicted WW2.

    She was reluctant to publish the Third Secret and would only write it down in 1944 – giving it the Pope and saying it could only be opened in 1960 or upon her death, whichever came first – after a direct order from a bishop.

    Bizarrely, the Vatican refused to release the Third Secret in 1960 – sparking wild theories the vision warned of the apocalypse.

    Comments by top church officials only added to this.

    [​IMG] GETTY

    PALS: Sister Lucia with Pope John Paul II
    In 1984, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger – later Pope Benedict XVI – admitted he had read the secret and said it involved the "importance of the End of Days” and “dangers threatening…[the life] of the world”.

    In 1980, Pope John Paul II, who had also read the secret, said of it: “If there is a message in which it is said that the oceans will flood entire sections of the Earth – that, from one moment to the other, millions of people will perish...there is no longer any point in really wanting to publish this secret message.”

    The Vatican finally published the Third Secret in 2000.

    It described a vision in which the Virgin Mary put out a flaming sword carried by an angel.

    A precession of the Pope, bishops and priests walked through a crumbling city – and were then shot dead by a group of soldiers.

    The Vatican said it was about the failed assassination attempt on Pope John Paul II in 1981.

    Biblical message predicts APOCALYPSE is coming
    The secret didn’t seem to match up with the descriptions made of it beforehand – leading many to accuse the Vatican of faking it.

    Mr O’Regan believes Sister Lucia also wrote out an “explanation” of the vision and gave it to the Vatican – and they are hiding it.

    As evidence, he points to an account of the moment Sister Lucia finally agreed to write down the Third Secret.

    In a biography of Sister Lucia, fellow nuns at her convent said she received a vision at the moment – which referred to an angel with a flaming sword and an apocalyptic earthquake and flood.

    They reported Sister Lucia as saying: “The point of the flame-like lance which detaches, touches the axis of the earth and it [the earth] shakes: mountains, cities, towns and villages with their inhabitants are buried.

    “The sea, rivers and clouds leave their bounds, they overflow, flood and drag with them into a whirlpool, houses and people in a number unable to be counted."

    Mr O’Regan told Daily Star Online: “A number of various writers have amassed a wealth of evidence that this hidden text is kept in a bedside cabinet in the papal apartments, and is being withheld because of specific details.”


    Many Christian doomsayers, such as David Meade, think the world will be destroyed when a giant hidden planet named Nibiru or Planet X appears on September 23 – and then crashes into Earth early next month.

    But Mr O’Regan disagrees.

    He said: “the Niburu conspiracy is a load of bunk.

  9. I see more so called experts repeat the idea that "Nibiru or Planet X" will itself crash into the Earth. Those, including NASA/CIA, who have studied the astronomers who relate the history of this alleged system never speak to its history as ever "crashing into the earth". Rather it's a Binary system to our sun or "Second Sun" system with its own planets. Those following whatever it is that is causing disruption in the orbits of the outer planets and the Kuiper belt/Oort cloud do not speak to this system itself as crashing into the earth. But.....rather that it is its magnetic pull upon the planets and "space junk" such as comets/meteors, etc. as it passes and re-enters its outward orbit away from the earth that will both send such prophesied comet/s towards earth as well as give a giant pull upon earth's poles and flip them, "moving" mountains and rivers, causing the major predicted earthquakes and eruptions of volcanoes. Some believe that the current increase in hurricanes, earthquakes, sightings of unknown and suddenly appearing meteors of late are the wake up calls to the "moment" or "instance" of the coming great purification of the earth via this system or "Destroyer". Thus I don't believe that the known perturbation of the outer planets....that's fact....and the disturbance of the space junk is a "load of bunk". But the misunderstanding of all of this is incorrectly convincing those who don't understand the terms they are using...as it seems to be the case with Mr. O'Regan as he's quoted above. I don't know if David Meade actually said that this system itself or its planets will themselves "crash into earth" but if so then he's also misunderstanding the finer points of this discussion and creating false expectations and unnecessary fear. The redirecting of comets and/or meteors towards the earth will be enough to fulfill prophecies. Otherwise such a system itself would totally destroy the earth and that is NOT to be the case for the end of these times rather than a future end of the world.

    "Christian fanatics":

    That's people like us. Still, he should be reassured that this is the kind of thing fanatical Christians get up to in their spare time. Not like fanatical members of a certain other religion.

    I suspect this newspaper article is essentially intended as a mocking one, setting itself up to highlight all this if 23rd September passes uneventfully. It insults Sister Lucia as a 'soothsayer', not to mention the 'fanatics' and 'conspiracy theories' comments.

    Signs Upon Signs In The Heavens
    I really was prepared to lay off further discussion of celestial matters. However, it seems that tomorrow night, September 18th, there is to be a lunar occultation of Venus, Mars, Mercury, and the "king star," Regulus.

    This all will take place in the constellation of Leo again. As I've discussed previously, Leo is a constellation that implies kingship and royalty, and Leo is worn as a crown by Virgo.

    [​IMG]
    A lunar occultation of Saturn
    But first, what is a lunar occultation? This is when the moon passes over a faraway object such as a planet or a star.

    So, basically, tomorrow night--the week of the "Lady of Revelations" phenomenon, and at the fast approach of the 100-year anniversary of the Fatima warnings to mankind, we have this kind of conjuction of three meaningful bodies in the sky.


    The Details

    The planetary bodies involved in this event are all inner planets. They move quickly through the Zodiac.

    Now, Mercury is the messenger planet. If there is any meaning behind Mercury, it is that Mercury is a communicator of some sort. It also bears mentioning that Mercury actually made a transit across the sun on May 9th, 2016--just five days after a Fatima-styled miracle of the Sun at Ourem, Portugal.

    The red planet of Mars is a planet of hostility, aggression, and war. The meaning behind Mars is: action. Assertiveness. It is fiery in its symbolism.

    [​IMG]
    A lunar occultation of Venus.
    Venus is the morning star, and references to it can be found in Scripture and Christian writing. It is the brightest star in the sky at dawn. While through Hellenic influences, Venus has come to mean grace, passion, and love, the name "morning star" has also been attributed to Lucifer before his fall from Heaven. In this way, Venus is sort of a mixed bag.

    I have discussed the star Regulus before. Regulus is the heart of the lion in the constellation Leo. If there is a "king of the zodiac," then that would be Leo. And if that king had a heart, Regulus would be Leo's heart. Hence, the name "king star." Regulus is one of the brightest stars in the sky.

    2017 is a special year for Regulus. Regulus has been involved in a lot of phenomenon this year, including The Great American Eclipse last month.
    Every nine years, the Moon’s path aligns almost perfectly with the ecliptic, which is the apparent path that the Sun follows across the sky. The ecliptic can be traced through the zodiac constellations and Regulus, in the constellation of Leo the lion is the brightest star to sit very close to the ecliptic.For the next year or so, the Moon will travel directly in front of Regulus each month as it makes its way around the sky.
    The moon has been passing over Regulus every month this year.





    What does it all mean?



    I couldn't tell you. I'm a simple blogger. I love astronomy. But astrology is the step-mother of astronomy, and it's rather frowned upon--as it's usually transformed into a pseudo-religion by idolaters and the superstitious. So my expertise in knowledge of heavenly bodies is limited.



    If I were to hazard a guess, I would say that this lunar occultation is yet another herald of something big that is coming. Whatever this message is, whatever event is about to transpire, it will be violent, aggressive, significant, and have the marks of an Authority.



    The age that we are entering--perhaps even this very year--bear a special unique mark. And frankly, I have never heard of a people trying so hard to ignore something like this. The only occasions that comes to my mind when I consider such willful ignorance of a people is the disregard of Noah before the Flood, or the failure to find anyone worthy of saving at Sodom and Gomorrah.



    I know I'm not alone in thinking that our time is up.

    I can't remember if St. Januarius' blood liquefied last May? But I do remember the Ischia earthquake in August. I'm praying that it liquefies but something tells me that it won't.

    Philippine priest, kidnapped in May, freed
    By Catholic News Service, Sep 18, 2017

    MANILA, Philippines (CNS) — A senior Philippine priest taken hostage by Islamic State-inspired militants in the southern city of Marawi has been freed after almost four months of captivity.

    Fr. Teresito Soganub, vicar general of the Prelature of Marawi, told a news conference in Manila that he was doing as well as could be expected following his ordeal, reported ucanews.com.

    “I am physically strong and sound,” Fr. Soganub said at Camp Aguinaldo, the national military headquarters.

    He asked Filipinos to pray for other remaining hostages before military doctors whisked him off for a medical checkup.

    A local Maute terror group linked to Islamic State captured Fr. Soganub and other church workers at Marawi cathedral May 23, the first day of fighting in the Islamic city.

    As well as taking around 30 people from the cathedral offices, they also tore down and desecrated icons and other sacred images and tried to set fire to the building.

    Fr. Soganub appeared in a video a week after his capture, appealing to Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte to withdraw troops and cease airstrikes against rebels.

    He also said that the militants had more than 200 hostages. In August, the military said the number of hostages was down to around 40.

    Gen. Eduardo Ano, armed forces chief of staff, said Fr. Soganub told him the hostages held with him were fed well and not harmed, but he could not vouch for treatment of other captives not in their group.

    On Sept. 18, military officials said nearly 900 people have died in the four-month conflict.
