    Catholicism >> Orthodoxy >> Protestantism.

    I have my doubts if all Russians are Dostoevskian in their views towards the Catholic Church. Even Dostoevsky didn't reach Paisleyite extremes. But of course Putin won't directly save us, but the toppling of the current antiChristian regime in Brussels would not be unhelpful. If the prophecies are true, the Russians will be turned back.

    The Protestant Reformation lead almost immediately to the predatory, rapacious, utterly materialistic Whig, Liberal type of politics and economics that ruined Ireland, most severely, but also led to similar experiences for much of the rest of the world. The same level of Whiggery was reflected in the United States, but until the First World War this Protestant country was happy enough to mind its own business. There was still a strong America First, isolationist tendency between the wars, but Roosevelt, with the help of a lot of wealthy American Jews (cf Jones and Unz), conspired to take a reluctant US into the war. Even after WWII, the US was not entirely eager to do Israel's bidding. There is a great deal of circumstantial evidence that Kennedy was shot for not agreeing to supply nukes to Israel (cf a recent article in the Unz Review). At any rate, JFK's replacement, LBJ, bent over backwards to do whatever Israel asked, including giving them the nukes. Since then, Israel has managed to establish such influence and extreme lobbying power that it is now coherent and plausible to assert that it is they who are ruling the US and that it is not the case that Israel is a mere vassal for the US.

    The present war against Iran provides little prospect of advantage for the US, apart from their Military Industrial Complex. It does, on the other hand, contain very grave risks for its economy and, in the short term, for the electoral prospects of the present Republican regime. It is only Israel, expecting to drag the US into a huge war that will eliminate its final combat-capable enemy in the region, that stands to gain, opening the road for the genocidal expansion represented by their plans for a Greater Israel.

    So, I think it's the Jews who are doing most of the using. The Judaeo-Christian Zionists can only really hope for their 'Rapture'. It will cost them their money, their sons and the enmity of the greater part of the world. Some few will get rich over it, but it would probably be salutary to read who they are connected to.

    It is very likely that Muslim conversions are drastically under-reported, because of their persecution of overt converts.

    From our present low point, it is difficult to imagine it, but it seems very conceivable that in a century most of the world, if there's still one left, will be Catholic.

    I could be wrong, bit it seems like St. Paisios wouldn't pray the Our Father with them because of what was going on at high levels in the Catholic church. He was making a point. The Orthodox definitely have a sore spot when it comes to the Catholic church, I don't like it either, but I don't throw the baby out with the bath water. What I love about St. Paisios is that he is a contemporary saint IMO along the lines of the desert Fathers, so he speaks a lot of wisdom regarding these times, having died only in 1994. In fact in all of his writings, I rarely hear him mention the Catholic church. It isn't his focus in the slightest.

    Apparently in the old days five decades of the rosary was known as the children's rosary.

    Adults were expected to do the full 15 as a matter of course. How much stricter than we they How much wiser.

    The Fatima children must have been doing the children's rosary

    Sister Lucia saw this. Remember? She was caught up into a kind of ecstasy after she finished writing the third secret. She kept repeating " in the end only one Holy Catholic Apostolic Church.." She kept repeating it. I think she must have seen the Reign of the Immaculate Heart.

    Uniquely Mary has a wonderful interview recently with Barry and Anthony--two gentlemen from. Derry involved in the Eucharistic Processions and the Men's Rosary. They are seeing miracles. I urge you to listen. It's so faith building.

    I must do this first thing in the morning. Before I even get up. Good idea.
    I always pray the Rosary while driving too. I want to start the Mother of Sorrows chaplet daily. Soon i hope. I pray the prayers to the Holy Face but not the chaplet. My best prayer time is at my Holy Hour. I usually go a half hour to hour earlier if I can. The time wings by.

    The time of chastisement is being shortened through the great mercy of God. People always say they can't wait until the warning comes, but all in God's good time. I often think that God is waiting on the conversions of our children and family and friends for the warning so that it shall be clearly seen to be by God's hand that this is done.

    In my opinion, the USA is the last strong obstacle to the globalist order because it still has some foundations embedded in the Constitution and the hearts of the people. Europe suffered through two world wars, demilitarized and liberalized for the most part.

    We will see to what extent this Israeli attack on Iran is actually an attempt to further exhaust the USA economically, to increase tensions on all levels, be it political, ethnic or religious.
    The war against Russia has already exhausted large supplies, a war against Iran where it would have the support of Russia and China in the background, which are much closer to supplying that war, would be catastrophic for the West. If the goal is to overthrow the world order, then such a war is the right solution for the globalists.
    Trump first said that he would not enter the conflict directly, now he has already opened the door a crack for the USA to enter.. Judging by his current actions in the past 5 months, we see that he is extremely fickle and that he is openly untrustworthy.


    The American right, or voters, voted for the policy of isolationism, the withdrawal of troops and the end of wars in which the USA participates.
    The American left is against Israel, I can even say about Iran, so they certainly don't support the US entering the conflict either. So American public doesn't want war.
    It means that there are two scenarios, the first is that we could see something like a 9/11 that will drag the USA into a war against Iran and for which Iran will be blamed like Pearl Harbor which was the reason for entering WW2. Others that they could see mass protests against any sending of American and Western troops into that war, which could lead to major social unrest.
    A war in Ukraine, where the West is at war against the Russians, a war in the Middle East, where the West could clash with Iran and, in the background, Russia and China, could lead to a world catastrophe. Pope Leo XIV came like Pope Pius XII once did at dawn before the beginning of WW2 in 1939 and he was a great pope.

    Not really. To be honest, I never took much interest in geopolitics because it all happened far from us and we were neutral. I did see that Colin Powell was lying about the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq but there's nothing special in seeing what the whole world could see. They were lying then about Iraq and they're lying now about Iran, Palestine and Russia.

    I'm paying attention now because I fear that our neutrality is in jeopardy. If our country is going to be involved in a foreign war, I think we have a duty to our young people to check into the whys and wherefores of how we got to this stagel That's the least we should do before blithely seeing them off to foreign lands where they will kill or be killed, possibly dying with hatred in their hearts for "enemies" they know nothing about and who are equally loved by their own people.

    I feel sorry for the Ukrainians but not sorry enough to sacrifice our youngsters in a war that never should have been fought. They made a mistake trusting the British. That's bad enough but they trusted Boris Johnson of all people! Even the British wouldn't trust him.

    By the way, the fact that the Iranians are in the right now doesn't mean that it's all sweetness and light in Iran. They've been subjected to sanctions upon sanctions for years, lied to, cheated and back stabbed to the extent that there's a large portion of the population paranoid about all things Western and that's reflected in how the country is governed. At least that's the impression I get, but I could be wrong because my knowledge of it is very limited to what I've been reading and listening to lately.

    I can't entirely agree about your comments on the American Left. The Democratic Party is absolutely controlled by the Zionists, as was obvious during the pathetic Biden Administration, with a hugely disproportionate more than seven hundred Jews employed in it, many in positions of great power, notably Blinken who was conducting foreign policy. Most Jews continue to vote for the Democrats and it can be said that the effective Left, as distinct from the aspirational left, who are incapable of even defining what a woman is, is completely supportive of Israel. At least, there is debate on the issue within the Republican Party and I have read that it is a toss-up currently whether the present US administration will back Israel or not.

    I don't expect catastrophe, unless it comes from Israel, with its Samson option or the United States with its record of being the only country to deploy nuclear weapons. The situation favours the BRICS, who need only slowly bleed the US, until the latter disintegrates as it did in Vietnam. A war of this scale cannot be won by a house so divided against itself.

    I am afraid that Israel may be preparing to launch a Jericho nuke into Iran without Trumps permission.

    Trump has gone way over his head in all this.

    Bibi and co have lost the plot a long time ago.

    I meant people/voters on both sides of the spectrum, Trump voters don't want wars, left-wing voters, although they support the war in Ukraine (manipulated), don't want a war in which American soldiers will fight for Israel. Gone are the days when the mass media could convince the majority that a war for other people's interests and a military-industrial complex on the other side of the world is patriotic and useful. Numerous veterans have fewer rights than illegal immigrants.

    It is clear to politicians that they are controlled by Jews, they are anarchists/Bolsheviks by nature and will be until their conversion. Although they are intelligent, which is felt in their treachery, they are extremely destructive. They have no limits, look at practically every country where they brought communism to power. During their rule, they emigrated from those countries because such a system stifles everything they are good at. We will see how far this destruction will go, I don't think we will watch nuclear bombs being dropped again, although if anything, history and human malice teach us that there is no safety when it comes to people.

    The Russians declined the US suggestion that peace talks be held in the Vatican. Lavrov said that the Russians don't consider the Vatican to be neutral.

    Some people say that Putin is genuine about his Orthodox faith. Maybe they're right. That's between him and God. Love him or loathe him, he has been a good, pragmatic leader of Russia. He made a mistake trusting the Europeans. People condemn him for that but I can see the sense in it. Good relations and trade between Russia and the EU would have benefited all involved but I'm not sure it would have suited the Americans and it would have made NATO redundant. There's something seriously amiss in Europe. Anyone with half a brain can see that people like Von der Lyen and Kallas weren't chosen for being the sharpest tools in the box, yet they're speaking and making decisions for nearly 500 million people. I seriously doubt that they actually make any decisions about anything other than what they wear for the photo shoots. The EU is in need of a root and branch clean out but I see no signs of anything better waiting in the wings. Trouble is that we don't know who really makes the decisions. The outlook is bleak.

    I don't know how accurate it is but a few people have said that there's a rail link between Iran and China that is nearing completion. That would be a huge concern for the US. Here's a link to the document quoted by Brian Berletic: https://www.brookings.edu/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/06_iran_strategy.pdf
    He quoted from Part 11, Chapter 5, headed Leave it to Bibi: Allowing or Encouraging an Israeli Military Strike.
    It lists the pros and cons of having Israel strike Iran's nuclear sites or the US doing it. Attacking a nuclear site is a war crime but that doesn't seem to bother them. Dated 2009, it could have been written this year with a few minor changes. I read a comment somewhere that US control of Iraqi air space finishes later this year.
    The Zionist lobby is powerful but nothing takes precedence over safeguarding the status of the US dollar.

    The chances are between slim and none that mega rich Jews in the US would move to Israel. Sure, some Israeli Jews make lots of money but I think that always being in conflict with their neighbours means that the average Jew in Israel drew the short straw. Who'd want to live like that? So fearful and hating of their neighbours that they are reduced to behaving like uncivilised wretches. Sure, someone with a nothing job in a pokey apartment in Eastern Europe might fancy being a land owner, lording it over the Palestinians but they will always carry with them the knowledge that they're living in prop0erty they stole from a person they either killed, evicted or had imprisoned. No civilised human being could sleep at night with that on their conscience. And the country will never know real peace no matter how many powerful allies they have. They're losers.

    It's clear unfortunately that some country will eventually hit the nuclear button, as prophesy says will happen. I just don't know which country. Certainly, Israel currently seems ruthless enough to do it, but I thought I heard once in a prophesy I read online that the nuclear weapons do not get used until there is war practically everywhere, because no country will want to be singled out by the few that survive as being the one that started the nuclear conflagration. So, it sounds possibly that things have to escalate even more to get to that horrible point.
