Signs

Discussion in 'The Signs of the Times' started by themilitantcatholic, Sep 3, 2015.

  1. An article today on Spirit Daily about the region of this earthquake involving recent apparition .... Our Lady of Zaro .... mentioned here in another thread:

    Last May, one of the visions involved earthquakes around the world (see messages below). Another: “My children, hard times await you, war sounds are getting closer and closer, the battle is near, be ready children.

    She is known here as “Our Lady of Zaro,” in accordance with the specific community, and it started on July 26, 1993, when a local fellow named Paul, with his brother Luigi, began seeing the Madonna.
    ..........
    once again, an apparition in a place that incurs shaking, another place that sets us in wonderment at how many such places and claims there are.
    ............
    The prohibition to give interviews was lifted following the events of September 11 in New York, it seems, “because this prophecy had been announced by Our Lady of Ischia to the seers,” says a website devoted to it.
    ............
    An official inquiry was started in 2011.

    And so it is.

    Just last May 6, one supposed visionary said, “I saw Mamma, she had a white dress, a long blue mantle that came from her head down to the feet that stood barefooted on the world, where there were wars, revolutions, earthquakes and tsunami, felt hate and suffering. Mom was sad; in her hands in prayer she had a pearl crown.”


    A nice summation and more......

    Feds start talking about 'Black Sky' catastrophe
    08/23/2017 @ 7:22 pm
    - WND - http://www.wnd.com- Posted By -NO AUTHOR- On In APP Frontpage,Faith,Front Page,Politics,U.S.,World | No Comments
    It’s been called a matter of “when, not if.” Some of the most powerful people in the world are meeting to discuss how the world will react to a “Black Sky” event, a large-scale catastrophe that would disrupt the functioning of critical national infrastructure such as power supplies.

    And exercises are already under way to plan how the world will cope with the inevitable disaster.

    “Earth Ex,” an “Emergency All-sector Response Transnational Hazard Exercise” featuring “a remarkable range of corporations, government agencies and NGOs on three continents,” reportedly took place on Aug. 23. The “invite only” event, featuring “new exercise tools” from the Department of Homeland Security, had the objective of improving “community resilience to long duration power outage events through cross-sector exercises,” and was scheduled to last for four hours.

    Different “operational lanes” have been established for different kinds of institutions, including “federal government,” “state government” and those for utilities and the private sector.

    “Individual and Family Preparedness” also was one of the “operational lanes” identified in Earth Ex’s June 15, 2017, final planning document.

    The Electric Infrastructure Security Council, which hosted the exercise and is staffed by former high-ranking government officials and corporate leaders from a number of allied nations including Israel, argues the connectedness of global infrastructure actually makes catastrophe more likely.

    The EIS Council declares:

    “Today’s lifeline infrastructures are interconnected and resourced on unprecedented scales, with supply chains spanning the nation and, increasingly, the world. With this growing integration and global reach, they have brought us remarkable capabilities.

    “At a price.

    “Concerns have grown over the potential for severe malicious or natural ‘Black Sky’ hazards associated with subcontinent scale, long duration power outages, with cascading failure of all our other increasingly interdependent infrastructures. This creates a grim and difficult dilemma: Restoration of any sector will only be possible with at least minimal operation of all the others.”

    Recently, 200 experts from 24 countries and dozens of states met to discuss how to prepare for a Black Sky event. The Washington, D.C., summit was hosted by Rep. Yvette Clark, D-N.Y.; Rep. Trent Franks, R-Ariz.; and several British leaders.

    Michelle Rehwinkel Vasilianda, a former member of the Florida House of Representatives who attended the summit, wrote in USA Today such meetings are necessary because a Black Sky catastrophe is inevitable.

    Nutritious food. Safe drinking water. Essential equipment to protect you and your family. Advanced tactical gear to safeguard electronics from an EMP attack or nuclear blast. The WND Superstore has you covered when it comes to preparedness. Don’t wait until it’s too late! Stock up on the survival gear you and your family will need in an emergency. It’s all here in the WND Superstore.

    “Our work is to learn about, discuss and plan for the inevitability of large-scale catastrophe, referred to as the ‘Black Sky events’: extreme weather, mega earthquakes, cyber terrorism, high-altitude electromagnetic pulse, Intentional Electromagnetic Interference, and coordinated physical assault …” wrote Vasilianda. “It’s not ‘if’ but ‘when’ a Black Sky event will occur. The time is now for each of us to do all we can to be resilient, to prevent – but also to prepare to restore and rebuild.”

    Carl Gallups, a pastor, former law-enforcement official and author of “Be Thou Prepared,” says ordinary Americans need to do more to safeguard themselves. While the rich and powerful are clearly preparing for catastrophe, he intoned, the average person seems unaware of looming threats.

    “The federal government is meeting with 200 experts from 24 countries preparing for a Black Sky event,” he said. “They’re telling us. It’s not if. It’s just when. This is going to happen, somewhere, sometime, and they’re saying, ‘We need to be prepared as nations and you need to be prepared as families and churches.’

    “Are churches prepared? My family’s prepared. We’re not going to go hide under a log and eat grubs. We have food and water and clothing and weapons and ammunition stored in various places. And we know how to do it without being crazy about it. That’s what my book is about.”

    Jeffrey Yago, author of “Lights On: The Non-Technical Guide to Battery Power When the Grid Goes Down,” recently told “The Hagmann Report” one electromagnetic pulse device, or EMP, could wreak nationwide havoc coast to coast.

    In the interview, Yago warned the government is preparing to defend itself, but is not preparing to defend the people.

    “It seems like most of the preparation this country has been doing is just for continuation of government,” Yago said. “They certainly are doing preparations and making facilities available for the government, but not only are they not doing anything for the people, but I think they made a decision years ago that it’s just physically not possible for the government to be able to provide food and shelter and water for millions of people if we have a grid-down event.”

    Gallups argues churches will be one of the most critical institutions in the case of a Black Sky event, and he urged pastors to take charge of making preparedness a priority for their congregations. He maintains such actions are simply part of the Christian tradition.

    Furthermore, he says a back-to-basics approach, in which Americans would learn how to survive without electricity, would simply be a way for Americans to reconnect with how their ancestors lived not long ago.

    “They used to do it,” Gallups said of early Americans. “The pioneers who settled our country in the United States, that’s how they lived. They canned food. They raised their own food. They stored up. They learned how to sew and to make their own shoes. That’s how we lived until about 50, 60, 70 years ago. Now you start talking about it and people think you’re some kind of conspiracy theorist. Well, wait ’til the Black Sky event happens to you.”

    Hurricane Harvey poised to unleash flooding disaster on Texas into early next week
    [​IMG]
    By Alex Sosnowski, AccuWeather senior meteorologist
    August 24, 2017, 2:50:27 PM EDT


    As Harvey continues to gather strength and moisture, the hurricane is poised to stall over coastal Texas and unleash life-threatening and disastrous flooding into next week.

    Harvey will have major impact in terms of dangerous surf, beach erosion, coastal flooding and damaging winds. However, Harvey is likely to be remembered for tremendous rainfall and days of flooding.
    Harvey is projected make landfall along the Texas coast on Friday night as a Category 3 hurricane. The last hurricane to make landfall in Texas was Ike as a Category 2 on Sept. 13, 2008.

    A state of disaster was declared for 30 counties in Texas in advance of Harvey by Gov. Greg Abbott.

    The decreasing forward speed of the storm will lead to long-duration rainfall and gusty winds. Harvey will cause much worse damage from flooding and wind than would normally occur from a swift moving storm of equal magnitude.

    "Impacts from Harvey will be tremendous in terms of displacement of people, property and economic loss and travel and freight disruptions," according to AccuWeather Vice President of Forecasting and Graphics Operations Marshall Moss.

    Some communities could be under water for days

    The event may be nothing short of a flooding disaster.

    "Since Harvey is forecast to stall, we expect 10-20 inches of rain over a large part of southern and eastern Texas and southwestern Louisiana from Friday into early next week," according to AccuWeather Hurricane Expert Dan Kottlowski. "At the local level, more than 2 feet of rain may fall."
    [​IMG]


    This amount of rain will lead to widespread flooding of streets, highways, bayous, streams and major rivers.

    Because of the flat terrain, some areas along the major rivers and bayous may remain flooded well after Harvey weakens or crawls away later next week.

    "People should be prepared to leave their homes if evacuation orders are given," Kottlowski said.

    Soon after the storm begins, roads in low-lying areas may become flooded. For those in flood-prone areas, now is the time to gather personal belongings.

    Prolonged gusty winds to topple trees, lead to power outages

    Since there is the potential for Harvey to stall close to the coast, the storm may retain significant strength for an extended period of time.

    "If Harvey remains reasonably close to the coast, it could be classified as a tropical storm through the weekend," Kottlowski said.

    [​IMG]


    "In addition to ongoing heavy rainfall, strong wind gusts and saturated ground will likely cause widespread fallen trees," according to AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Mike Doll.

    When trees fall and catch utility lines, power outages will result. Fallen trees and power lines will block some roads. Some gas stations may not have power to run the pumps. Some refineries may have to shut down.

    "If the power goes out during the storm, it could take days and perhaps a week or more for crews to get to all locations, due to lingering flooding," Doll said.

    There will also be the potential for brief, spin-up tornadoes.

    "As Harvey makes landfall, the risk of tornadoes will be greatest near and northeast of the center," Kottlowski said. "Once Harvey is inland, isolated tornadoes could occur throughout the circulation of the storm."

    Harvey to bring dangerous conditions, cause damage at the coast

    Seas and surf along the western Gulf coast will build well ahead of Harvey's arrival.

    How strong Harvey becomes prior to landfall will determine the initial magnitude of inundation and damage along the coast.

    "The combination of storm surge and wave action will bring a total inundation of 6-10 feet in coastal areas and bays with the greatest inundation north of the center of landfall," Kottlowski said.

    "Very rough seas and dangerous rip currents will occur well away from where Harvey makes landfall, including northeastern Mexico and the northern Gulf coast of the U.S."

    The long-duration storm is likely to cause extensive beach erosion and raise the risk of property damage along the coast.

    Harvey may stay alive for days

    There is a chance that Harvey meanders back over the western or northern Gulf of Mexico for a time after making landfall. Regeneration and strengthening could occur in this case.

    There is a slight chance that Harvey fails to make landfall in Texas and could move ashore farther north along the Gulf coast.

    As a result, all interests from northeastern Mexico to the U.S. northern Gulf coast will need to monitor the progress of Harvey.

    Eventually, Harvey may find a way well inland over the eastern U.S. as a tropical rainstorm later next week and into the Labor Day weekend.

    Only if the system moves inland and stays away from the coast will the storm diminish.

    This is to be a monumental catastrophe! My son, Christopher, his wife Michelle, and many of her relatives live just outside of Houston. Harvey is now predicted to have winds up to 110 mph. Galveston will now be hit by a 6-12 ft. storm surge by Saturday morning!

    Lord have mercy!

    Safe Under Our Lady's Mantle!

    Right now, experts are saying the cost of a gallon of gas nationwide may go up from 5 cents to 15 cents a gallon next week owing to disruption of refinery operations in the Houston area.
     
  15. HeavenlyHosts

    HeavenlyHosts Powers

    Yes
    The refineries shut down a day or two ago
    I heard USA gets 45% of our oil and gas from that area
    Might take a good while after the storm to be up and running
    There are rigs in the Gulf offshore

    After Barcelona, terrorists name Rome, the Vatican as their next target
    [​IMG]
    A picture taken from a December 2016 video distributed by terrorists, which has been circling in jihadist social media accounts and points to Italy and the Vatican as the next targets of terrorism. The writing in Italians says, "You must fight them." (Credit: Twitter.)

    After the terror attacks in Barcelona, Spain, terrorists are targeting Italy and the Vatican again with videos that call for 'lone wolves' to drive cars into the crowds and show people tearing up images representing saints and Pope Francis. "It may be only a matter of time before such an attack takes place," the commander of the Swiss guards said.
    ROME - Terrorists once again threatened Italy and the Vatican with violence not long after jihadists in Barcelona, Spain, orchestrated a series of attacks that left 15 people dead and many more wounded.

    “We will have our vengeance,” “We will arrive in Rome,” an Islamic terrorist said in a new video called ‘The Islamic State - Inside the Caliphate’ that was filmed in Marawi, Philippines, and distributed by al-Hayat, the pro-ISIS media organization.

    In the video ISIS-sympathizers threaten the Vatican while destroying images of saints and the Virgin Mary as well as crucifixes. One man in the video rips a poster of Pope Francis in half.

    A few days before, Telegram, the ‘app-of-choice’ for terrorists, incited Italian jihadists by naming Italy “the next target” after Barcelona. “The channel urged lone wolves to hit specific targets, after having explicitly threatened Italy a few days ago, to attack with vehicles there as well as in Belgium and Denmark,” the U.S. website Site, which monitors jihadist activities on the web, reported.

    On August 24 a picture showing a man holding a knife behind his back and looking toward a city started appearing around social media. On the picture there was the text in Italian “Devi combatterli,” (You must fight them) which according to Site was obviously directed toward jihadists living in Italy.

    The image was taken from a December 2016 video shared by pro-ISIS social media accounts that offered instructions on how to commit acts of terrorism with easy-to-find tools, such as a knife or an automobile driven into the crowd. The image circling on social media these past two days is a freeze frame from that video, which had Italian subtitles.

    Despite being constantly threatened by terrorist groups, Italy and the Vatican have not been the victims of the kind of terrorist attacks that have swept over other parts of Europe. This was possible in part because Italy, despite being a migrant gateway into Europe, does not have a large number of second or third generation immigrants, who have often been the perpetrators of terrorist acts in Europe when indoctrinated by ISIS recruiters.

    Another factor has been the hardened, no-nonsense approach of the Italian police, which has been tempered by the political terrorism of the ‘Years of Lead’ in the 70s. Phone tapping regulation is also very lax in the country, allowing authorities to identify extremists quickly and more easily.

    According to the Italian Minister of the Interior up to 70 suspected terrorists were deported in 2017 alone, and 202 have been sent back to their country of origin since 2015. The last to be arrested were three extremist Muslims from Morocco and Syria on August 19.

    “It may be only a matter of time before such an attack takes place in Rome,” Commander Christoph Graf of the Swiss guards told the Swiss Catholic website cath.ch. “But we are prepared for it.”

    Speaking at their 27th General Assembly in Solothurn on August 19-20, Graf said that Swiss guards, with their colorful uniform, swords and halberds, are not just a tourist attraction but a modernized troop capable of facing a terrorist attack if and when necessary.

    Since the attacks in Barcelona, security has been tight in Rome and the Vatican. More snipers and armed policemen can be seen on Via della Conciliazione, the main artery that leads to St. Peter’s square, and many roads have been closed to traffic.

  18. CrewDog you beat me to it....just saw this news:


    167 Year Old California Catholic School Removes Statues of Mary and Jesus to be More Inclusive



    [​IMG]


    Removal of a number of statues and other smaller Catholic icons from the campus of San Domenico School in San Anselmo has raised concerns among some parents.

    In an email to the school’s board of directors, Dominican Sisters of San Rafael and the head of school, Shannon Fitzpatrick objected to the removal of the statues and other steps the school has taken in an effort to make the school more inclusive.

    “Articulating an inclusive foundation appears to mean letting go of San Domenico’s 167-year tradition as a Dominican Catholic school and being both afraid and ashamed to celebrate one’s heritage and beliefs,” wrote Fitzpatrick, whose 8-year-old son attends the school.

    She added, “In our time here, the word ‘Catholic’ has been removed from the mission statement, sacraments were removed from the curriculum, the lower school curriculum was changed to world religions, the logo and colors were changed to be ‘less Catholic,’ and the uniform was changed to be less Catholic.”

    Responding to follow-up questions Monday, Fitzpatrick wrote, “There are other families having the same concerns I do. Many parents feel if the school is heading in a different direction then the San Domenico community should have been notified before the signing of the enrollment for the following year.”

    I'm not sure if this has been shared on MOG before but even if it has been it is worth sharing again...

    I wonder if it is a sign that Hurricane Harvey is making it's direct hit on Corpus Christi, Texas. I think the last time a major hurricane hit Corpus Christi, Texas was on August 3, 1970 and on March 7, 1970 part of the mainland USA experienced a total solar eclipse, the most states touched with total darkness from a solar eclipse until 2017 (the 2/26/79 solar eclipse is the only other total solar eclipse to touch the mainland USA in this timeframe).

    So, we just experienced a total solar eclipse on 8/21/17 which crossed the entire nation, passed directly through Kansas City, Missouri, a city which is considered to be in the middle of the nation. This city experienced a severe flash flood beginning on the evening of 8/21/17 and ending the morning of 8/22/17. Now, Corpus Christi, Texas is expecting to be directly hit by Hurricane Harvey, at category 3 level on 8/25/17.

    Keep praying...

    Some facts about the name Harvey:
    The name Harvey is of French origin.
    The meaning of Harvey is "warrior".
    It is also of English origin, where its meaning is "battle worthy".
