I once believed that the Americans were the good guys. Like many others, the genocide in Gaza forced me to really open my eyes. Then, I fell for the Maersheimer line about the Lobby. Not any more. Here's some more evidence of the sheer depth of the evil (go to the 6th minute): It's bad enough that millions of them think that they slaughter on God's behalf but their leaders act as though they believe they are gods. The Evangelicals are bad enough but the Catholics supporting this are far, far worse because they should know better but their faith seems to be a mix of superstition and masonic protestantism. "Catholic" Vance actually said that Israel is not committing genocide. And for every evil act those Catholics condone they'll exonerate themselves with a chorus about Russia's errors. They've been spreading that corruption of Catholicism wherever they have influence. Look around you to see the evidence of it here. Perverse doesn't begin to describe it.
That’s a heavy and emotionally charged statement, and it's understandable that such sentiments—whether one agrees with them or not—can provoke deep reflection, especially for someone trying to approach the world through a Christian lens. As only one American Catholic Christian I dont feel it describes me. But perhaps I am blinded through ignorance or pride I do hear the deep frustration in your words, and I can’t begin to grasp all the layers of injustice that people around the world have endured. As a Christian, I try to remember that real peace isn’t forged through more anger, but through truth spoken with compassion and a genuine desire for reconciliation. I pray we’re all guided not by fear or power, but by justice and mercy. Peace
Great response. Praying to Our Blessed Mother for this mess, I feel like it's difficult to get a grasp on what truly is going on within the Middle East, personally. I'm powerless anyhow, even if I knew the truth. Come Holy Spirit!
Look uo what St.Thomas Aquinas said about anger. The powers controlling this couldn't be more incompatible with the Catholic faith. You'll be angry when they come for you. And they will, just like they came for the Christians in the Levant. Did you have a nice holiday? Pity about the weather. We had glorious weather in May but June is something of a washout. Today is St.Anthony's feast day. The single lily that survived in my wilderness of a garden bloomed early and is withered now. I'll have to buy some if I manage to get to the Mass for the feast day and the blessing of the lilies
Does this story with the Jews perhaps remind you of the scenario when Satan fell from God and led a rebellion? In both cases, God had a special purpose — to serve those beneath Him. We know that Satan said, “I will not serve.” The Jews were meant to be the people who would spread the joyful message of salvation. They killed the prophets, killed Christ, persecuted the apostles, and to this day they persecute Christ’s Church. They simply said, “We do not wish to serve,” and I would even say that the teaching of Christ “disgusted” them, and that they desired only earthly power. I’ve come across several statements from saints who said that the Jews live for an earthly paradise. This situation with them where they are gaining power reminds me of scenes from Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings, in the first part, when Saruman’s troops advance, kings fall and surrender, and darkness spreads over the Earth. In my opinion, all other rulers and empires were “child’s play” compared to what they are doing. They have conquered the whole world without firing a bullet, and now they are simply building their plan for the realization of power. They hold the entire political, economic, and media world in their hands. Globalization, a unified world economy, and a modern way of warfare — where it is no longer the warrior’s courage, but the power of technology that is the key factor — allow them to create the Great Israel. Imagine that power when you can change the entire religious culture of a country like they did with Protestants and years of propaganda, when you can blackmail generations of American presidents that you brought to power and only as a "safety net" so that they wouldn't accidentally show disobedience like other politicians... When you are so strong that you manage to prevent the arrival of the then 99% certain British Prime Minister Corbyn... About 20 years ago they said they would overthrow the regimes of Syria, Lebanon, Iran, Iraq, Libya and Egypt. So far, they have all fallen except Iran and this is now their goal. When you can bomb and starve the civilians of a country that has no army for 2 years in front of the entire world and in the age of modern technology because you are "looking for" hostages, and you can locate the highest military officials of Iran and Hezbollah who are 20 meters underground in nuclear bunkers and kill them together with their families in a country od 100 millions??? The Western Christian world, along with its population that long stood as an obstacle to them, is simply being erased — to be replaced with African and Asian populations, whom they consider less intelligent and not a threat. The very fact that, in a few attacks, they killed the entire Iranian military leadership, the Syrian, Hezbollah — and feel nothing but contempt and vengeance — shows they are ready to go all the way. There is no negotiating with them because from the very start they see you as a lower being created only to serve them, and the life of anyone who is not one of them is merely a number. The amount of mutual coordination and dedication to the goal — which is obviously global dominance — is astonishing. Their ability to infiltrate any country, any system, regardless of how much good those people or countries have done for them, they remain firmly on the path of destroying everything that does not belong to them, all working together toward that same goal. They function as if they have the same brain distributed into different bodies. That's where their dominance comes from, they are guided not by political or religious ideologies, but by identity, where regardless of whether you are a believer or not, you are a member of the same group with the same goal. That group will help you, you will help other members, and together you will achieve the same goal. The level of loyalty and dedication to an idea based on a blood alliance surpasses other national ideas of today's democracies. That's why empires, monarchies, and kingdoms had to fall because they are the most similar to their functioning, they are difficult to break through because loyalty lies in one person, not in parties and replaceable political leaders, and the country is not divided into various ideologies and the masses are not the ones who choose the government. It took them centuries to break the monarchies, and now after only a few years of democracy in the West, we are looking at the complete chaos of Western civilization, which is demographically, morally, economically, and religiously on a death bed. Just one example of how they work. They could not change the West if they did not first change the Catholic Church's position which was always that everyone, including Jews, had fallen and had to be baptized and accept Christ. The Catholic Church always saw them as apostates from the faith which they were. However, after WW2 comes this man https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jules_Isaac who wrote several books in which he argues that the Catholic Church, like all Christians, is inherently anti-Semitic and that this position towards Jews must be changed. Isaac's diary entries regarding his preparation and the audience with Pope John XXIII can be read at “Isaac’s Audience with Pope John XXIII.” The audience was a major impetus for Pope John's directing Cardinal Augustin Bea, the president of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, to draft "a declaration on the Catholic Church's relationship to the Jewish people for the upcoming Second Vatican Council." This action by the Pope led to the promulgation of Nostra aetate (In Our Time) on October 28, 1965. "With Nostra Aetate the Catholic Church took leave from an almost 2,000 year old anti-Jewish tradition, a profound break with the age-old teaching of contempt." Cardinal Augustin Bea hired three priests to draft the document, who were both Jews and great supporters of Israel, and who also attacked the Catholic Church from within. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_M._Oesterreicher https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregory_Baum https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruno_Hussar For example Baum... In particular, he urged cessation of Christian efforts to convert Jews, writing in a 1977 publication: "After Auschwitz the Christian churches no longer wish to convert the Jews. While they may not be sure of the theological grounds that dispense them from this mission, the churches have become aware that asking the Jews to become Christians is a spiritual way of blotting them out of existence and thus only reinforces the effects of the Holocaust." AND LATER IN HIS LIFE: In 1978, after leaving the Augustinians, he married his close friend Shirley Flynn and lived with her until her death in 2007. He remained committed to "exploring my sexuality in non-conformist ways."[8] A strong supporter of gays and lesbians in the Church, Baum had been aware since adolescence of his own attraction to men. After moving to Montreal in 1986, he fell in love with a former priest.... BUT he changed the attitude of the greatest institution in the world and teaching through infiltration...The Church has been in decline since the Second Vatican Council. It is interesting how all three of them formed several institutes and communities that mention the Judeo-Christian name in their names, forcing it as a synonymous term. And you know what else is interesting. That the three popes who held the pontificate after and during the council were declared saints, which was intended to impose the view that if saints led the council, then it must also be holy.... Pope Francis declared all three saints( JPII, Paul VI), Pope John XXIII immediately, almost in the first year of his pontificate. And for example, Pope Pius XII, who saved thousands of people of various faiths and was declared a servant of God in 1990, did not receive the title of saint even though he led the Church for 21 years during WW2 and the most aggressive form of communism during the 1940s and 1950s.
Our Lady of Akita feastday was yesterday, June 12th, when the bombing occurred. There are no coincidences
There is more going on behind the scenes than we know. Currently, the riots in the US are being discovered to have ties back to communist philanthropists. My previous observation of a war between satanic-zionists and islamic-communists seems to be holding more weight. It is bizarre to see the free Palestine protesters alongside those protesting against deportation. Everything, including the anti Gaza war protests have been hijacked for agendas. We are driven like cattle through our emotional desire for positive change. We are fed propaganda, which is likely AI driven to keep us confused. Padraig is correct, we are already at war. It is just never announced and the attacks used are mostly indirect. Every exploit that can be used is being used, game theory. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_theory Another dark part is that all of these groups are involved in the satanic occult. So we have people in power, controlled and influenced by satanic forces, using AI to amplify their reach using game theory. Much of society seems to be under its hypnotic effects. I was at the dentist a couple days ago, there was a woman's magazine I picked up because on the cover a woman was wearing a necklace in the shape of a serpent. Throughout the whole magazine, women were wearing serpent shaped jewelry. I think the serpent is primarily what we are dealing with. As hard as it is, not letting our love grow cold appears to be the priority at this time. Matthew 24:6-13 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains. 9 “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13 but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.
I don't want to be depressing but a lot of what is going on in the Church is simply being reflected in the World. Things, in my opinion, are very very grim with the Church and so the World.. New Pope or not. To put it in an Old Testament way God is very,very angry. Very, very angry indeed. Nothing that is happening in the World is not directly connected to the General Apostasy in the Church. The worst of it from the very top.
I agree about the manipulation. I think that all sides are being controlled by the same powerful shadowy group. They know which buttons to press thanks to years of conditioning. It's their identity that's hard to pinpoint. There's certainly some Jewish involvement but I think that it's not a purely Jewish cabal. Rather, I think that the cabal is international and includes people of all faiths and none. It's about power and money and they will use communism, capitalism, fascism, anarchism and any other ism, including religious denominations to control the masses through fear and hatred, dividing people against each other until they lose all sense of proportion.
I don’t know if you’ve noticed the tactic used by Israel and the USA... It’s the same one once used by the USSR, which Bishop Fulton Sheen addressed in Season 3 of Life Is Worth Living, in an episode titled “Lullaby of Co-Existence.” Sheen warns that the USSR’s call for co-existence with capitalist nations is merely a strategy: “The Soviet Union's desire to co‑exist with Capitalistic nations until it could take over the world.” The worst enemy is the one who comes to you with a smile, while secretly planning revenge and attack. That’s exactly how the Soviets acted before attacking Finland in 1939—they first came and signed a peace agreement. But from a practical point of view, one thing is absolutely clear here: this is a real foreign policy, cleansed of illusions . No treaty, no resolution, no principle of "humanity" restrains the state at the moment when it believes that its interests are threatened. A week ago Israeli politicians announced they were going to vote to bring down the Netanyahu government over the failure to pass the conscription law. For an entire week, the Israeli media was reporting on how Netanyahu’s government was on the verge of collapse. The entire thing was a ruse. There was never any internal division. The plan to attack Iran was formally signed off on Monday June 9 but the USA announced they planned to have peace talks on Sunday June 15 and that Witkoff would personally attend even though the USA knew Israel was going to attack Iran prior to June 15. Israel announced it was planning to meet with Witkoff prior to the 6th round of negotiations with Iran. Israel also announced that Netanyahu was going to take a vacation in the north of Israel this weekend. Since Netanyahu would never take a vacation during a major military operation this was the final layer of the ruse. Iran was caught completely off guard. In addition to over 300 planes from the IDF that spearheaded the attack, the Mossad built a secret explosive drone base INSIDE IRAN that was activated simultaneously as waves of IDF jets were pounding Iranian targets. The explosive drones were sent on suicide missions crashing into all of the ballistic missiles that Iran had pointed towards Israel. "Two Israeli officials claimed to Axios that Trump and his aides were only pretending to oppose an Israeli attack in public — and didn’t express opposition in private," the report explained. "The goal, they say, was to convince Iran that no attack was imminent and make sure Iranians on Israel’s target list wouldn’t move to new locations." President Trump told The Wall Street Journal that he and his team were read in on Israel’s plans to attack Iran. Asked what kind of heads-up the U.S. got ahead of the attack, Trump said in a brief phone interview, "Heads-up? It wasn’t a heads-up. It was, we know what's going on." Negotiations are being used solely to deceive the enemy and buy time to create further instability. There are no worse aggressors than those who use peace to wage an even greater war. Trump turns out to be worse than his predecessors—indeed, a wolf pretending to be a sheep. This tactic is being used simultaneously in Ukraine and now in the Middle East, and after Israel's attack, he has come out and gloated over it. It is now clear why he was allowed to become president.
I think about Mary's words to the Fatima children... How Wars can be entirely averted by prayer. It's harbinger is Sin... effects can be averted with people clearing up their own personal black clouds, establishing their own personal peace... and giving forth. I reminisce of a time... many men do I find (at least many friends of mine did lol)... of Medieval life. Sword and Ploughshare lol... "Roughin' it" so to speak. But trying to actually place one in the shoes of medieval living folk... Changes the perspective on anything. They would see our society as strange as well lol. But it got me to thinking about how the Crusades were... and how the different 'Knight' organizations and classes around Europe and within the Middle East areas, were travelling with Faith at the forefront of every step of their Lives. Don't get me wrong lol... Many of these Knight classes went out of order as well based on human greed. But these 'Knights' who many within our society would look at as more 'rudimentary' than we are... Were taking Daily Bread, Meditating on Christ, Calvary, Rosary.. Mary... It was first and foremost in essentially all they did. They travelled WITH Priests as part of their army legions. Noblemen gave an heir, the spare typically became one of these knights... or perhaps monks, friars... etc. How full was the Church??? Loaded. Burgeoning People attempting to live for Christ and hearing his word, weekly. Was there issues? Of course. But I do fret on how devastatingly worse things can get before interventions will transpire. The Immaculate Heart of Mary message from Fatima is nearing 100 years. The book 'The Divine Impatience' speaks of the continuation of Fatima through Sister Lucia... in 1925, & 1929. There was a warning given by a vision of Christ mentioned... that not heeding the warning to the Consecration of Russia to the Immaculate heart, would lead to the Church suffering what happened to France's Monarchy when St. Marg.-Marie Alocque offered to King Louis XIV the Sacred Heart of Jesus to France (which was subsequently denied, for exactly 100 years to the day, was the birth of the Jacobin party that imprisoned King Louis XVI and ended Monarchy in France. Either way, I do believe the Connection to what is happening connects Fatima/Garabandal/Akita. The book, mentions wars & rumors of wars... Crazy economic strategies playing out, kind of like Monetary war lol... Etna exploding, Blatten flattening under a mountain, Even reports online about crazy, crazy sunspots on the sun... (like at one point a good chunk of it went dark, like maybe 1/3? - I think it usually culminates in Solar Flares... aka Northern Lights)... Somewhere between this and planetary alignments... THEY say, are what causes these unbalances. I however, recall that within the Fatima message, in re: WWII that 'strange lights' would happen prior to the start of WWII... The lights happened, and it came to pass.. Blitzkrieg started. The Strange Lights are & were said to be Northern Lights (I can only base it off what I have been told, as I am born much later than 1938 lol)... Then the Social unease/unrest... People dwelling within their unhappiness, without ever quite being able to place a 'trigger' on the actual issue. Whether it is any sort of social differences, it constantly is rearing it's ugly head within this modern day society. People trajecting Inwardly instead of projecting out. Then to think... connecting it to Garabandal... The Warning, Miracle, Chastisement. again, classic Marian things said and done there... Elevating from the Lowest to the Highest (as she was)... What the girls were doing within the visits and their message... thoroughly goes Church FIRST (by obeying Priests/Bishops, as Mary has instructed in the past, she has shown great respect to priests via Marian visits... It's another thing I believe makes for good evidence). What is understated is that she asks for the same PRAYER, PENANCE, EUCHARISTIC ADORATION... almost to the point of plea/frustration the message wasnt getting across... In Fatima... the cup of wrath (judgement) was 'filling up'. In Garabandal... the cup... 'Runneth over'. We were required to ask for such things we needed (world peace, ending hunger, prayers for sick, elderly,youth et al)... None are being done... Grace cannot be delivered. = to the festering of the 'black cloud' over society that is sin. Where are we today? Akita... mentions a terrible finality. A weeping Queen of Heaven asking for our repentance. A warning of Fire... eerily enough. The Comet Apophis (frankly scares the daylights out of me...) projected to pass the Earth April 13th 2029. as in a very close pass. Possibly so close as to go between the Earth and Moon, causing 'gravitational disruption'. I believe the issue is God is trying to get our attention. We are out of Grace, we need to turn back to him as a whole... The problem is, we live in the times of Noah... Where sin is just running rampant. To and Fro, like the Crow. We simply need to turn back to him as a society, like the Dove... We are inherently useless when left to our own accord, without his Grace leading the way. My heart and thoughts and prayers, go to the victims of violent measure performed tonight, either side... I pray for the Lord's peace. But understanding that all things are made possible through him, I pray his Divine Will to overcome the Earth. I apologize for the lengthy post. (tbh I was going to delete... then thought, maybe I should just post my thought...) .. I dont like the news of the day... It makes me sad for the loss of human life. War is so completely worthless AND pointless. While I dont have an immediate solution for all... I just hope people start listening with their 'spiritual' ears. Pray for Peace... The World clearly is in need of it.
Put very well Jason. I too don't even want to read today's news....it disturbs my peace. But I will say that I've never prayed so much in my life.
Sigh. It's true we must look to the beam in our own eye first and fix it. Our own sins first. I'd love to sit down with someone like Padre Pio and have a good talk with him about all this.
Just one correction. There was an agreement between Iran and the US since the Obama presidency. Iran kept to the agreement. Trump rubbished it and was pretending to re-negotiate it. Now Trump is saying that he gave Iran 60 days to sign a new agreement and the strike happened on day 61. The US also had an agreement with Russia concerning the 'planes struck by Ukraine. What's the point 9f having any kind of agreement with a country that can't be trusted? Maybe Iran would be safer following N. Korea*s example. Israel doesn't control the US. The US controls Israel. Remember all the standing ovations they gave Netanyahu. They were thanking him for his service. And they*re so proud of how bravely they are fighting Russia to the last Ukrainian. There's a cabal running the Western powers. The politicians are just clowns in the circus that entertains the public. The real powers have well stocked bunkers because they believe they can survive nuclear war. Some people say that New Zealand might be a preferred location but my bet would be some remote plece in Southern Africa or Asia.
God chose His people. He never said that He chose them on merit, as far as I can see. Perhaps He chose them on the basis that if these can follow My commandments, it is possible for all mankind. The implication being that Our Lord chose not only the ultimate humiliation of being downgraded from God to man, but the humiliation of being downgraded to beimg one of that tribe which has shown itself most sinful.
I can't agree that the US controls Israel. To me, the opposite seems incontrovertible. Ask yourself, cui bono? Ultimately, what reward will the deluded heretics and liberals that support the Zionist agenda receive? On the other hand, the Zionists in America have succeeded in personally enriching themselves, manipulated American law into corresponding with their own (anti-) values, while simultaneously promoting the interests of their messianic entity in their occupied Palestininian colony.
