    The investigation wasn't carried out by Boeing.

    The fact that the switches were turned off one second apart does not indicate systematic failure but human interference.

    I am only going on the official report from the investigative team.

    The Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) is the designated authority for such investigations in India & is most influenced by Boeing or other aircraft manufacturers in its investigations as India sends it's crash flight-box's to the US for decoding process. The switch is not like a normal tubelight switch, that if its flipped on, tubelight has to turn on, it require to be pulled hard & then turned up or down. The switch value is then read by a microcontroller which took 4 seconds to switch ON again simultaneously & turning it OFF one second apart doesn't play human interference. Thus, one can assume a case where the microcontroller misinterpreted switch value and cut off the engine, which the pilots then physically tried to re-engage the switch, but by then it was too late. This is just a speculation, based on possibilities enabled by the preliminary report, if the FDR verfies that the switch was physically engaged, the argument holds no water. Lets wait for the final report.

    We might have a long wait as the final report could be a year away.

    French Prime Minister François Bayrou has announced austerity measures because the government needs to cover a deficit an annual debt of €300 billion, and is planning annual savings of about €40 billion.

    The measures include stagnating pension growth, cuts in healthcare and medication spending, abolishing two public holidays (Easter Monday and Victory Day on May 8), eliminating positions and laying off employees in public services, where wages will also be frozen.

    At the same time, France has approved an increase in the military budget by €6 billion, bringing it to €67 billion. You're taking on debt and paying interest in order to fund the military and weapons, while on the other hand, you're keeping borders open, abolishing public holidays that connect you to your Christian past and traditions—which you're simultaneously attacking—and cutting support for the poor, retirees, and the sick. If you know even a little about France, then you know that protests are practically a national sport there. For almost as long as anyone can remember, the French have always been on the streets.

    If they go through with this, France could erupt in protests and riots.

    Statement of the Patriarchs and Heads of the Churches in Jerusalem during the solidarity visit to Taybeh: https://lpj.org/en/news/statement-of-the-patriarchs-and-heads-of-the-churches-in-jerusalem-dur
    [​IMG]

    We, the Council of Patriarchs and Heads of Churches of Jerusalem, are here today in Taybeh in solidarity with the local community following an intensifying trend of systemic and targeted attacks against them and their presence. We ask for the prayers, attention, and action of the world, particularly that of Christians globally.

    On Monday, 7 July 2025, radical Israelis from nearby settlements intentionally set fire near the town’s cemetery and the Church of Saint George, which dates back to the 5th century. Taybeh is the last remaining all-Christian town in the West Bank. These actions are a direct and intentional threat to our local community first and foremost, but also to the historic and religious heritage of our ancestors and holy sites. In the face of such threats, the greatest act of bravery is to continue to call this your home. We stand with you, we support your resilience, and you have our prayers.

    We give thanks for the local residents and firefighters for extinguishing the fire before our holy sites were destroyed, but we join voices with the local priests - Greek Orthodox, Latin, and Melkite Greek Catholic - issuing a clear plea for support in the face of repeated, systematic attacks from these radicals, which are only growing more frequent.
    In recent months, the radicals have led their cattle to graze on the farms of Christians on the east side of Taybeh - the agricultural area - rendering them inaccessible at best but at worst damaging the olive groves that families depend on. Last month, several homes were attacked by these radicals, lighting fires and erecting a billboard that said, translated into English, “there is no future for you here”.

    The Church has had a faithful presence in this region for nearly 2,000 years. We firmly reject this message of exclusion and reaffirm our commitment to a Holy Land that is a mosaic of different faiths, living peacefully together in dignity and safety.

    The Council of Patriarchs and Heads of Churches calls for these radicals to be held accountable by the Israeli authorities, who facilitate and enable their presence around Taybeh. Even in times of war, sacred places must be protected. We call for an immediate and transparent investigation into why the Israeli police did not respond to emergency calls from the local community and why these abhorrent actions continue to go unpunished.

    The attacks by the hands of settlers against our community, which is living in peace, must stop, both here in Taybeh and elsewhere throughout the West Bank. This is clearly part of the systematic attacks against Christians that we see unfolding throughout the region.

    Furthermore, we ask diplomats, politicians, and church officials worldwide to provide a prayerful and outspoken voice for our ecumenical community in Taybeh, that their presence may be secured and that they can live in peace to worship freely, grow crops without danger, and live in a peace that seems to be in far too short of supply.

    We join our fellow clergy in Taybeh in reiterating this of hope in the face of a persistent threat: “truth and justice will ultimately prevail”. And we recall the words of the Prophet Amos, which become our prayer during this challenging time: “let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream”.

    The problem I would have with someone trying to Exorcise the Entire Planet would be Tradition. I have never ever heard of such a thing before in the entire history of the Church. I know of no record of such a thing in Scripture. So this makes this a new thing, an innovation. I am very,very wary of innovation.

    President Trump may have lost his mind.

    July 15 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump has privately encouraged Ukraine to step up strikes deep in Russian territory, even asking Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy whether he could hit Moscow if the U.S. provided long-range weapons, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday.
    The newspaper, citing two people familiar with the conversation, said Trump spoke to his Ukrainian counterpart in a call on July 4, a day after speaking to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

    I realize this is a part of a lay political
    Apostolate, but the information in it is about the historical use of cloud seeding as a weapon of war. The US used it during the Vietnam War. This is very very dangerous to life and property, as we have recently seen in Texas.

  11. I propose that he lost it a long time ago. Now he's lashing out at his supporters for asking for the Epstein list. Prayers that God shows the strength of His arm, scatters the proud in their conceit, casts down the mighty from their thrones and lifts up the lowly...so many world leaders need to go...Netanyahu, Putin, Trump, Xi, Macron, Starmer, Metz, Kim Jong Il, and on and on, it would be nice to get a break from these people.

    Unfortunately, it is part and parcel of our times. I still regret the warmongers sending Boris Johnson over to convince Zelensky to help scuttle the Peace Treaty that was ready to be signed some 3 years ago.

    Come Lord Jesus!

    In my mind, the event that coincides with the Great Miracle at Garabandal is the reunification of the Catholic and Orthodox Churches.

    I don't know if it was mentioned here, Israel bombed the Catholic Church of the Holy Family in Gaza two days ago, killing 3 people and wounding about 10, including a Catholic priest Gabriel Romanelli.

    It was the favorite church of Pope Francis, who has often been in contact with Palestinian Christians and has often criticized Israel. Israel said there was a mistake, which is of course a lie, and they deliberately bombed the only Catholic Church in Gaza.

    Israel bombed all churches in Gaza..."Our greatest ally".
    They literally led all the communist movements in the west where priests and the Catholic Church were persecuted and killed. For anyone who knows history, this is nothing new.

    Since Oct 7, 2023, verified attacks on Gaza churches by Israeli forces include:

    - St. Porphyrius Greek Orthodox Church (Oct 19, 2023): Airstrike killed 18, damaged building.

    - Holy Family Catholic Church (Dec 16, 2023): Snipers killed 2 women.

    - Holy Family Catholic Church (Jul 17, 2025): 3 killed, strike injured 10+ including priest; building damaged.

    - Byzantine Church of Jabalia (Oct 2023): Destroyed by airstrikes.

    - Monastery of St. Hilarion (ongoing since Oct 2023): Damaged in bombardments.

    Time to stop this double speak before the last remaining presence of Apostolic Christianity is erased from the Holy Land. Israel is a US proxy. All the Zionist wars are carried out on behalf of the US, are funded by the US, and its munitions are provided by the US. The US wants rid of indigenous Christians in the Holy Land. Most if not all the Islamist terrorist groups are also US proxies. Jeffrey Epstein laundered money for the transfer of weapons. Tucker Carlson has a very informative albeit very long interview with a man named Darryl Cooper about Epstein and the shady network.

    The truth is shocking but burying our heads in the sand won't save innocent lives and does absolutely nothing to spread the Gospel. How many lives could have been saved if European and especially American Catholics had raised their voices earlier against this slaughter and against Israel's decades long ethnic cleansing agenda? We shouldn't need investigative journalists to open our eyes to the evils that Israel has been committing in the Levant since long before the Holocaust. Most Catholic influencers couldn't be bothered condemning the genocide, probably because the vast majority of victims are Muslims. Do they share the Zionist belief that Muslims are sub-human? Did they think their silence would save Christians from the demonic Zionists? Candace Owens and Taylor Marshall have been the most vocal, and both of them are converts.

    This Taylor Marshall video is excellent although he, like many Americans, has yet to see that the "greatest ally" is merely a useful tool:
