    The twisting of language is satanic. It's institutional murder and there will be plenty of 'encouragement', but calling it 'suicide' means it's nothing to do with them. It's just 'care', like killing babies. Mostly to save on treatment and pension costs. As for palliative care, that's for sentimental, religious social parasites.

    We've heard this before, but for me it's less of a threat than an announcement.

    After the West lifted the range restrictions for weapons transferred to Kiev, all European cities were at risk. This was stated by the head of the State Duma Committee on Defense Andrei Kartapolov.
    So he answered the corresponding question of the Kremlin pool correspondent Alexander Yunashev.

    "All European cities are under threat," Kartapolov said.

    As reported by EADaily, the German government, in coordination with the United Kingdom, the United States and France, lifted range restrictions on weapons transferred to Kiev, said German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.

    "There are no longer any restrictions in terms of the range of weapons supplied to Ukraine - neither from the UK, nor from France, nor from our side, nor from the United States. This means that Ukraine can now defend itself, including, for example, by striking military positions in Russia. Up to a certain point, she could not do this," the German chancellor said.
    Recall, if the West has really lifted restrictions on the range of weapons supplied to Kiev, this is a rather dangerous decision. This was stated by the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov.

    Fortunately, if results on the ground are any indicator, Russian missile-defense technology is currently far superior to that of the US and its NATO allies. While even the Ukrainian defense ministry is admitting that their US-supplied Patriot missiles are almost useless at intercepting Russian missiles targeted at the Ukraine, the UK-supplied missiles that the Ukraine fired at Russia some months ago were unable to reach any of their targets, if I remember correctly.

    On the other hand, it only needs one to get through...

    This Russian superiority in missile-defense technology (which has already led to Trump bluster about a new 'dome'-something that will take years and trillions of dollars to develop, by which time it will probably already be obsolete) should serve as a sobering warning for any neo-con warmongers thinking they could 'win' a nuclear exchange.

    What I read came to the same conclusion. It will not be able to change the outcome of the war strategically in Ukraine's favor. However, the probability of creating a situation in which Putin/Russia has no choice but to retaliate would increase enormously if all restrictions were lifted.
    It is well known that British Storm Shadow, French SCALP or German Taurus cannot be operated by the Ukrainians themselves. If a single one of these weapons causes major damage, say in Moscow, Putin will be forced to react. Russian TV, for example, is discussing the use of the “hazelnut” against production sites. But yes, I still don't think Merz dares to attack Moscow.

    The events currently look like they are building up for Ezekiel 38/39 to come to pass, Gog'n'Magog and all. The weird part about it is that this battle isn't supposed to happen until after satan is released for the little time in Revelation 20.

    Ukraine, i.e. "their" secret service, has carried out the largest attack on Russia to date, i.e. the most effective, where the air structure of the Russian military forces was attacked in several locations. Mini drones were used that were activated by remote control from parked trucks, which exploded after the attack.

    According to some estimates, about 40 Russian military aircraft TU-95 were destroyed from the West, which have not been produced since 1994, and were the pride of the USSR.

    The operation was allegedly prepared for a year and a half...

    Of course, this was not carried out by Ukrainian forces, but probably by the British with the help of American satellites.

    Tomorrow there were supposed to be major peace negotiations and it is interesting how every time before the negotiations some "major attack" occurs that undermines these negotiations.

    It seems that many want WW3 and that they will provoke until the war escalates to the extreme. The very fact that many EU countries have reintroduced mandatory military service and that weapons are being mass-produced says that it is heading in that direction.

    Strictly speaking, this video doesn't qualify as a "sign" except perhaps in what it exposes. Tucker Carlson is interviewing a man called Mike Benz whom I had never heard of. It's a long video but worth watching even if you can only watch it in stages because it connects so many dots. It's shocking but what shocks me most is that the fact that the tactics are being employed in the US seems to be the main concern of the two gentlemen rather than the fact that the tactics have been employed at all. Carlson does a promo for the Heritage Foundation in the middle of it. From the little I know of it, the Heritage Foundation doesn't strike me as being Catholic friendly.

    I agree with your analysis. We can watch them" blowing up "peace negotiations again and again. Why? For heavens sake why?
     
  15. Not sure why you th think the Heritage Foundation is not Catholic freindly.

    The Heritage Foundation is a secular organization but it does promote many Catholic values. The Heritage Foundation aims to promote public policies based on free enterprise, limited government, and traditional values, including opposition to abortion, LGBTQ+ rights, and other social issues.

    They support school choice for those who send their kids to Catholic school. They oppose goverment intervention into what Catholic schools choose to teach ( and not teach) our children.

    Thier advocation of limited government aligns with Catholic teaching on subsidiary.

    The following words are from the Heritage Foundation website, how are they not Catholic friendly???

    GENDER Neither federal lawmakers nor courts should have the power to redefine what it is to be a man or a woman for all Americans
    ABORTION
    The Declaration of Independence affirms life among humanity’s “unalienable Rights.” This most basic human freedom should be protected in public policy.
    Marriage and Family
    Marriage, the union between one man and one woman, and family are the building blocks of all human civilization and the primary institutions of civil society
    Parental rights
    Parental rights are a fundamental part of American life. Robust families are the foundation of a thriving society, and re-empowering parents is a cornerstone of self-government and Western Civilization.
    Religious Liberty
    The moral and religious beliefs of individuals and organizations should be respected in law.

    Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage foundation, is a Catholic, goes to Mass and receives spiritual formation and guidance from a nearby Catholic institution. He is traditional and orthodox (small o) in his Catholic beliefs, and even opposes contraception.

    He also founded John Paul the Great Academy, a small, independent, Catholic school that provides a rigorous classical education in the liberal arts and sciences and promotes the sacred traditions of the Roman Catholic Church.

    The Youtube algorithm is playing with us again, it threw me this video of a battle between two tribes in Guinea in 1964 (It's not Baltimore, don't worry ;) .
    On the one hand, this is 40 years after WW1, 20 years after WW2 and during the Vietnam War. We have planes that go over 1000km/h, cannons, tanks, telephones, TV, and soon a flight to the moon... on the other hand, it's as if we've been sent back thousands of years, this was primitive even for the ancient Greeks, Romans...

    I've always wondered how these tribes react morally to good and evil. The very call to war is an indicator of fallen beings, in the end, death itself shows that we are the same. But is the disconnection from our scientific, cultural and religious knowledge a gift or a cross for them? To avoid political correctness, from a human perspective it seems as if we are not the same beings, the same species. From God's perspective, we are all equal, and the gifts are so imperfectly distributed in my human eyes, even though from God's perspective, perfection is in everything He created.
    On the one hand, we have the knowledge of the entire human history, the gifts of science, reading and writing, medicine and hygiene, and finally the gift of faith and God's revelation to people and resurrection, sacraments... Their life is reduced to those primitive aspects of food, war and death.

    Because they won the war. Why would anyone negotiate when they won?

    Two x-posts I stumbled across. In a way they are correlated.

    The World Economic Forum's Jane Goodall suggests that reducing the human population down to 500 million people, a drastic 93% reduction from today's numbers, would make the world a much better place.

    My wife has been ARRESTED in Belgium simply for holding a sign saying "Children are never born in the wrong body" and having conversations about gender in a public place...
