A judge overturned the city councils decree about less than lethal items so now the police are using them again.
So apparently it is not a good idea to throw the seeds away.(they may contaminate the food stock if they grow in a landfill.) Don't open them. Send them to your local food and drug regulatory agency
I would recommend caution when reading a book about Israel written by a Jewish person especially if you don't understand the history of the Catholic Church relative to the Jews. If this book presents Israel as chosen by God or as a nation with a providential role willed by God then i would be particularly wary. The final eternal covenant sealed with the most holy body and blood of our Lord, Jesus Christ is the new and everlasting covenant. A covenant with the current Jewish religion no longer exists. While Israel exists as a nation, it is not chosen by God.
I'm interested to read what the book says. Yes, Jesus came into the world to save it, not condemn it . . .and it is the world he saved, not just one country.
I have been listening to a video series by Roy Shoeman who converted into the church titled What is Judaism. It is a 12 part series and is quite long but I have found it very interesting and insightful. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMixAhiTrzGqOHSDkMA5jDy8qjh4cDmEL
BL, I just read this now. You're welcome! Catherine Austin Fitts is one of my favorite people and someone that we pray for regularly and confide to Our Lady. But you must know that she's not a fan of the Q cult ("trust the plan") as she calls it? One of the things that she talks a lot about and that hardly no one else does is the missing money in the budget - $21 trillion dollars of undocumentable adjustments in the US budget. She and Professor Skidmore have worked on that subject for years, but if you study the evidence, you will have to conclude that the fraud is deeply institutionalized within the laws and the opaque governance system. If anyone is interested, you can go to her site, https://home.solari.com/ and search for Missing Money to find her public reports. Here are a few links on her website to get you started (here, here) or on youtube (here, here ). I like this interview where she says bluntly that we will soon be at the point of having to choose between freedom (governed by God) or slavery (governed by the machine/beast). Her message really should be considered alongside our own prophetic Catholic voices. Sorry I posted that too fast: I wanted to add that she saw the financial fraud first hand as assistant secretary of HUD where she served under Bush Snr. She left the government in the 90s I think, to start her own investment company in order to "stop the financial coup d'état" going on in the US. She is Christian (Protestant) and is another wonderful voice crying out the truth in the wilderness.
Good grief.....well, these times certainly do expose the renegades in all parts of this world today. Whenever individuals of a certain age claim they "grew up Catholic" one would have to assume that they know nothing, in truth, of what "growing up Catholic" really would mean....and it's not the permissive as well as culpable ignorance offered by the Faithless who have molded such persons in those times. National Catholic Reporter: ‘AOC is the Future of the Catholic Church’ The progressive National Catholic Reporter (NCR) has declared Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to be “the future of the Catholic Church” noting her frequent references to “Catholic values” and her “passion for justice.” In an op-ed Monday, NCR’s executive editor Heidi Schlumpf praised Rep. Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) as a “rock-star millennial leader of the left” who “grew up Catholic and even wrote about how her faith influences her views on public policies such as mass incarceration, for a Catholic magazine.” As I listened to her “stunning speech” on the House floor last week, “I was struck by how often it referenced Catholic values,” Ms. Schlumpf wrote. The National Catholic Reporter is notorious for aping the positions of the Democrat Party even when they contradict clear teachings of the Catholic Church, and over the years has pushed for abortion, same-sex marriage, women’s ordination to the priesthood, an end to celibacy, and greater restrictions on religious liberty and conscience objections. It is unsurprising, therefore, that among Rep. Ocasio-Cortez purportedly “Catholic” values one discovers a full-bore embrace of the Democrats’ advocacy of taxpayer-funded abortion-on-demand as a “human right.” Ocasio-Cortez has slammed attempts to pass legislation protecting unborn children, insisting that they are about “owning women” and establishing theocracy in America. “Abortion bans aren’t just about controlling women’s bodies. They’re about controlling women’s sexuality. Owning women,” she tweeted in 2019. “From limiting birth control to banning comprehensive sex ed, US religious fundamentalists are working hard to outlaw sex that falls outside their theology.” MORE: https://www.breitbart.com/2020-elec...ter-aoc-is-the-future-of-the-catholic-church/
The Reporter was established in the Kansas City-Saint Joseph diocese in 1964. Bishop Finn noted that four years later, in 1968, “Bishop Charles Helmsing...issued a condemnation of the National Catholic Reporter and asked the publishers to remove the name 'Catholic' from their title – to no avail.” National Catholic Reporter 'proud' to identify as Catholic
I would suggest you be VERY careful in proceeding with this line of thought. It is VERY close to Replacement Theology, which while at one point was supported by the Church it has since been rejected, and may very well be considered heretical, when applied as you seem to be doing. I fear you are allowing your feelings towards the Jewish people and Judaism to color your perspectives. First of all, please do your research before making accusations against people. Joel C. Rosenberg was raised Jewish, and converted to Evangelical Christianity in his early 20s. In addition to his work as a novelist (and yes, the man really knows how to turn out a page-turner), he spent the past 20 years being a frequent speaker to groups within the State Department and the Pentagon. He got this prestige because when he worked in at State, of all the analysts in the Middle East department, he was the ONLY one who predicted that Saddam Hussein would invade Iraq. Everyone else poo-poo'd the idea. When after the fact, he was asked why his prediction was so accurate, he replied, "Because Saddam said he would." He happened to be finishing up his first novel, about terrorists hijacking a plane to fly into the White House, literally typing the last pages, when the jet flew over his house and crashed into the Pentagon. And for a while people looked forward to his books because it seemed the events in his books would come true a few weeks after being published. The man is smart, he knows his history, and he knows his scripture. You may say that "A covenant with the current Jewish religion no longer exists" but the PROMISES MADE BY GOD TO ISRAEL ARE ETERNAL AND WILL BE IN EFFECT UNTIL THEY ARE FULFILLED. Let me say that again: when G_D told Abraham that his descendants would outnumber the stars in the sky, He didn't put in any caveats or exclusions. G_D led Abraham through Canaan and promised the land to his descendants, but not yet. That was because the spiritual desolation of the Canaanites and the surrounding people was not yet complete. Once that happened, G_D led them to the Promised Land and gave them sway over all other people living there. The land was granted by G_D to the Israelites and their descendants. In the 4,000 years since then, Jews have lived in the land of Israel. They may not have been plentiful, but they were still there and so the land grant by G_D was still in effect. To say that the people living in modern Israel are NOT the descendants of the Israelites and therefore have lost claim to the land is nonsense. The people are still there; there is nothing in Scripture to support the claim that G_D has revoked His promises to them, and as I said earlier, to claim otherwise is to come to the edge of heresy. In short, they ARE still the Chosen People, as much as that might irk you. But unless you are going to preach and teach that G_D's promises are NOT eternal, that He will break His Word when it suits Him, then your claims that the Modern State of Israel is not directly related to the Israel of Scripture are false. Please do not simply dismiss this man and his work "because he's a Jew." Read the book first, then read it again to absorb the implications of what he is saying.
BREAKING: Over 100 Police Agencies Pull Out Of Agreements To Guard DNC Convention More than 100 law enforcement agencies have reportedly pulled out of security agreements to send personnel to help with security at the Democratic National Convention next month in part because they are concerned about recent efforts to limit law enforcement’s use of tear gas and pepper spray in responding to violent riots. Milwaukee Police Chief Alfonso Morales was ordered last month to change the department’s policies to ban the use of tear gas and pepper spray. “Since the Milwaukee order was issued, more than 100 law enforcement agencies in Wisconsin and across the country decided against coming to Milwaukee, Morales told WTMJ-TV on Tuesday,” the Associated Press reported. “They were concerned with directives placed on the police department, including not allowing tear gas or pepper spray, he said.” In Wisconsin, Franklin Police Chief Rick Oliva said, “It is apparent there is a lack of commitment to provide the Milwaukee Police Department with the resources it needs to ensure the safety of peaceful protesters, attendees, citizens and police personnel. I can not send personnel if they are not properly equipped or will not be allowed to engage in appropriate actions which would ensure their safety.” Waukesha Police Chief Daniel Thompson responded by indicating that his department would not be sending officers to event, saying, “I understand that use of chemical irritants and pepper spray is serious and those are to be used only when legally justified. But when you take that out of the continuum that doesn’t leave the officers much other than getting harmed or using deadly force and that’s not good for any officer or the public.” BREAKING: Over 100 Police Agencies Pull Out Of Agreements To Guard DNC Convention | The Daily Wire
I'm looking forward to reading it. I found a used one online, didn't pay much for it and will see what it says.
What I'm stating is that you are promoting a Protestant and Jewish view of scripture and prophecy as well as mid-East politics involving Israel. From what I've read Mr. Rosenberg's view of scripture vis-a-vis the mid-East reflects dispensatioal premillenarism, a view espoused by Scofield and Hal Lindsey among others. You are advocating reading a book that does not reflect what the Catholic Church teaches.
Totally my personal opinion...but the Jews are still God's chosen people and they have a very important part in the history of salvation. And just like Catholics there are some very good ones and some very evil ones. Those evil ones shouldn't even be called jews.
Today's Meditation from St. Faustina's Diary......How God works w/ special and hidden souls in a world that is all noise and disruption today: Meditation: Chosen souls are, in My hand, lights which I cast into the darkness of the world and with which I illumine it. As stars illumine the night, so chosen souls illumine the earth. And the more perfect a soul is, the stronger and the more far-reaching is the light shed by it. It can be hidden and unknown, even to those closest to it, and yet its holiness is reflected in souls even to the most distant extremities of the world (Diary, 1601).

Hyperinflation Hits Lebanon: Food Prices Soar 200%, Biggest Crisis Since Civil War Lebanon has entered hyperinflation, the first country in the Middle East and North Africa to do so. With a 462% annual inflation rate and food prices rising by almost 200% this month, Lebanon has joined Venezuela in hyperinflating. Meanwhile, the Lebanese pound has lost 82% of its value this year. Lebanon in Hyperinflation Lebanon has become the first country in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region in history to experience hyperinflation, explained Steve H. Hanke, Professor of Applied Economics at the Johns Hopkins University, and a hyperinflation expert. Hanke and his colleague Nicholas Krus have traced 61 other instances of hyperinflation in world history, including Hungary in 1945 and Yugoslavia between 1992 and 1994 when hyperinflation peaked at 313 million percent per month. Hyperinflation occurs when a country’s inflation rate exceeds 50% per month for 30 consecutive days. On July 22, Lebanon entered the record books with the world’s 62nd episode of hyperinflation, Hanke confirmed. He described in the National Review publication: Now there are two ongoing hyperinflations: Lebanon’s, where the annual inflation rate is 462 percent, and Venezuela’s, where the annual rate soars at 2,219 percent. Venezuela has been in hyperinflation since April, Hanke said. He further noted that only a small number of emerging markets are currently experiencing severe inflation problems, but the number is rising. Zimbabwe, Syria, Sudan, and Iran are all facing surging inflation, but none are currently suffering hyperinflation, he clarified. “The underlying causes of inflation are always the same,” the professor was quoted by Reuters as saying. “Governments start running larger and larger fiscal deficits and call on the central bank to fund those deficits because tax and bond financing avenues are inadequate. In hyperinflations, central banks are required to virtually fund the governments entire fiscal operations.” This is Lebanon’s worst crisis since the 1975-90 civil war, Hanke pointed out. The situation became worse when the country defaulted on its debt in March. The official data cited by Credit Libanais shows that food and clothing costs surged 190% and 172% respectively in May from a year earlier. Other reports show similar stats early this month. The Lebanese pound has lost 82% of its value against the U.S. dollar on the black market since January. “As for the official exchange rate, the Lebanese can forget it,” Hanke remarked, adding: Their savings are frozen in Lebanon’s banks. The banks have no dollars to exchange and have imposed capital controls (strict withdrawal limits) to avoid collapse. https://news.bitcoin.com/lebanon-hyperinflation-food-prices-soar-200-biggest-crisis-civil-war/
