Forgive me if this has already been posted on forum and I missed it..... Exorcist on Etsy scandal: Sale of Communion hosts is increasingly common COLORADO, May 9, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) ― Catholics have responded with horror to the news that nine allegedly consecrated hosts were offered for sale on the Etsy e-commerce website this week. Today a well-known American priest revealed that such outrages are common. Fr. Chad Ripperger, an expert in spiritual warfare and exorcism, told LifeSiteNews that the theft and sale of the Blessed Sacrament is a form of simony--the sin of buying or selling sacred things--that is common today. “Exorcists are often aware of the fact that the Eucharist is regularly stolen from churches, that some priests are actually involved in Satanism and provide the Hosts, etc,” Ripperger said by email. “The fact that they are being sold online is a form of simony which is extraordinarily common today as many people are selling sacred and religious items on the Internet on eBay and the like,” he continued. “This is happening even among non-Satanists and even Catholics who consider themselves in good standing even though they’re selling certain items which the church has always said is sacrilegious.” The exorcist added that as Satanism is allowed to flourish, Catholics have to be prepared for the fact that these sacrileges are going to happen more often. There are five different ways in which Satanists obtain the Blessed Sacrament. “Many of them are simply due to the fact that people who are responsible for the sacred mysteries are derelict in their protection of the Eucharist,” Ripperger said. Although naturally horrified by the the grave offense to God, Catholics will be comforted by the knowledge that Christ cannot be hurt by the profanation of the Eucharist. “According to the theologians, Doctors of the Church and saints, in the Eucharist we only act upon the accidents of the Bread and not on the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of our Lord,” Ripperger explained. “Therefore, He does not suffer when something physically happens to the accidents of the Bread,” the priest continued. “Obviously He is offended because the accidents of the Bread ... are coterminous with His Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity.” Ripperger believes that the way to stop the sale of the of the Eucharist is to “cut off the supply.” This can be done by changing certain practises in the Church that make consecrated Hosts easy to obtain and by educating Catholics “on the necessity of our obligation to protect the Eucharist as well as fighting the advancement of Satanism within our culture,” he said. The nine wafers offered for sale on Etsy as “Real Catholic Hosts, consecrated by a priest” in Germany were sold yesterday for $11.58. The vendor told LifeSiteNews’ original source that he had obtained the items from a church and that he couldn’t “risk anyone exposing [his] priest.” The vendor, who identified himself only with the initials AL and the name of his business, Pentagora, told LifeSiteNews that there are “a handful of priests in Germany who work in the Satanic underground.” In 2005, online retailer eBay cancelled the listing of a consecrated Host after Catholics protested. LifeSiteNews attempted to reach out to Etsy again, in particular to find out how readers can ask Etsy not to sell sacred objects. A representative for Etsy hung up the phone.

Looks like the butcher of SA is showing his soft side toward Abbas and the PA in an attempt to get him to accept the Kushner peace plan. This plan is going to be supported by Israel, (Netanyahu will cry crocodile tears of course) the Arab world as well as many other nations if only for the incredible amount of wealth and business that it will allow these nations in doing business with and through Israel. As it stands now they can do zero business with Israel. https://worldisraelnews.com/report-...as-10-billion-to-accept-trump-peace-proposal/ Report: Saudi Arabia offered Abbas $10 billion to accept Trump peace proposal Among economic and other incentives, the Saudi offer apparently also includes the founding of a Palestinian embassy in the town of Abu Dis, located on Jerusalem’s eastern outskirts. By JNS Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has offered Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas $10 billion to accept U.S. President Donald Trump’s upcoming Mideast peace plan for Israelis and Palestinians, reported the Lebanese daily Al-Akhbar on Tuesday. “According to information obtained by Al-Akhbar, Salman briefed Abbas about the details of the deal of the century and asked him to accept it. According to the information, Salman asked Abbas: What is the annual budget of your entourage? Abbas replied: I’m not a prince to have my own entourage.” Salman then asked Abbas: “How much money does the Palestinian Authority and its ministers and employees need?” Abbas replied with an answer of $1 billion annually, to which the Saudi crown prince replied: “I will give you $10 billion over 10 years if you accept the deal of the century.” According to the outlet, among economic and other incentives, the Saudi offer also includes the founding of a Palestinian embassy in the town of Abu Dis, located on Jerusalem’s eastern outskirts. Abbas rejected the offer, saying it would “mean the end of my political life.” White House senior adviser Jared Kushner said last week that the so-called “deal of the century” will be released after the Islamic holiday of Ramadan, which starts on May 5 and concludes on June 4.
A vast disinformation network of copycat fake news sites with names like 'Bloomberq' and 'The Indepnedent' has been pinned on Iran Tom Porter | https://www.businessinsider.com/fak...th-names-like-bloomberq-linked-to-iran-2019-5 May 14, 2019 An annotated screengrab of an untrue story, provided by research group Citizen Lab as an example of a coordinated disinformation campaign. Citizens Lab/Business Insider Researchers at the Citizen Lab research group uncovered a vast disinformation network which they say is being backed by Iran. The network — dubbed Endless Mayfly — circulated untrue articles seeking to advance narratives critical of Saudi Arabia, the US and Israel, the researchers said. The pages aped legitimate websites, often altering their web addresses by one or two characters to give names like Bloomberq or The Indepnedent. A spokesman for the Iranian government denied any involvement with the network. Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories. Researchers say they have uncovered a vast fake news network impersonating genuine news organizations and using fake social media profiles to spread disinformation. The Canadian Citizen Lab research group, which is part of the University of Toronto, in a report published Tuesday claimed that Iran is behind the program, which it dubbed Endless Mayfly. The researchers say it "spreads falsehoods and amplifies narratives critical of Saudi Arabia, the United States, and Israel." In a statement to the Associated Press, Iran denied being behind the network. The authors published "divisive content" on copycat news websites, often with names that imitated legitimate news websites, such as "Bloomberq," or the "The Indepnedent," the researchers said. The technique is known as "typosquatting," in which a website impersonating another is created under a slight variant of its name. The trolls created 72 lookalike domains, and 153 fake news articles, with one fake article designed to look like a Bloomberg report suggesting that the CIA would award Saudi Arabia's crown prince with a "medal of honor." Citizen Lab said that a the people behind the posts also made fake social media profiles to spread the posts, some of which went as far as sending messages to journalists and activists whom they hoped would repost the material, lending it legitimacy. Fake articles contained made-up quotations from a US senator alleging Saudi complicity in terrorism. Articles also claimed that Saudi Arabia was funding Trump's wall on the US-Mexican border and tried to stir tension among Arab Gulf states. In one case, Washington-based terrorism expert Ali Al-Ahmed received a direct message on Twitter from Mona A Rahman, who appeared to be a young female activist and critic of Saudi Arabia. She tried to lure him to share a fake news article about Israel, posted on a website purporting to be linked to Harvard University. Al-Ahmed said he had previously been targeted by hackers posing as female journalists. "They will never stop," Al-Ahmed told the Associated Press. "They think a hot girl can lure me." Once an article was pushed out by fake social media profiles and received a certain degree of "amplification" by being retweeted and shared online, the link to the fake website was deleted, Citizen Lab said. It would then be replaced by a link to the legitimate site of the website imitated. The report found that the disinformation has close links to a republishing network found by previous investigations to be an "Iranian government-backed disinformation operation." The Iranian embassy in London told the Associated Press it had nothing to do with the disinformation campaign. It said instead that it was "the biggest victim" of disinformation campaigns, and backed international regulation to curb them. In recent years, other adversaries of the US have sought to imitate Russia's operation in the 2016 presidential election and spread fake news and propaganda on social media. Director of National Intelligence Dan Coates in January named Iran as one of three foreign powers, alongside Russia and China, which would probably seek to subvert the 2020 presidential election. In October, Facebook closed down a network of 82 accounts, pages and groups originating in Iran which sought to spread divisive fake news and propaganda ahead of November's mid-term congressional elections. According to the Citizen Lab report, many of the accounts removed by Facebook were linked to the Endless Mayfly network. ******************************************************************************************* No U.S. ambassador to Bahamas gives China free rein to develop country OAN Newsroom UPDATED 9:27 AM PT — Tuesday, May 14, 2019 | https://www.oann.com/no-u-s-ambassador-to-bahamas-gives-china-free-rein-to-develop-country/ ******************************************************************************************* "Published on May 14, 2019 Democrat House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer is defending Rashida Tlaib's controversial remarks on the Holocaust.

I saw this article today and immediately thought about Revelation and its mention of "locusts"....wondering if this was a modern day form of what John may have meant, in some form (esp. since these tech are designed in very small forms now)....and then found this other article (second article listed below) that seems to be wondering the same thing!! ROBOT WARS China unveils terrifying new armoured truck which launches swarms of killer drones to attack its enemies The war machine - based on a Russian Tigr vehicle - can direct the drones so they simultaneously converge on targets and detonate their explosive payloads ....... The mighty YJ2080 is equipped with 12 launch tubes - four for reconnaissance drones and the other eight for explosive laden drones which can travel at 110mph. Its mission will be to eliminate targets beyond traditional line of sight and kill from above with four pound bombs. The truck's deadly drone system can search for and destroy its own targets, reports Popular Mechanics. Earlier this year, China revealed a lethal fully autonomous drones that can carry out targeted military strikes The killer drones and pilotless aircraft are fitted with AK-47 rifles and are already being exported to combat zones in the Middle East. US national security think tank Center for a New American Security (CNAS) said in a report that Chinese officials see this AI ‘arms race’ as a threat to global peace. One example is the Blowfish A2 drone, which China exports internationally and which Mr Allen says is advertised as being capable of “full autonomy all the way up to targeted strikes.” The Blowfish A2 “autonomously performs complex combat missions, including fixed-point timing detection and fixed-range reconnaissance, and targeted precision strikes.” Depending on customer preferences, Chinese military drone manufacturer Ziyan offers to equip Blowfish A2 with either missiles or machine guns. China is also interested in using AI for military command decision-making. According to the report, Zeng Yi, a senior executive at China’s third largest defense company, said AI will be at the core of future warfare. “Mechanized equipment is just like the hand of the human body. In future intelligent wars, AI systems will be just like the brain of the human body,” Zeng said, according to the report. He added that “AI may completely change the current command structure, which is dominated by humans” to one that is dominated by an “AI cluster.” This opinion is consistent with broader thinking in Chinese military circles. Mr Allen said that until globally-recognised definitions for autonomous robot warfare are drawn up, there’s an increased risk of inadvertent escalation. In August of last year, experts from dozens of countries met at the UN to discuss how to deal with these kinds of weapon systems. Some top advocacy groups say governments and military forces should be prevented from developing such systems. https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/9098437/china-armoured-truck-drones/ Is Drone Swarm Technology (Locust) A Harbinger Of Revelation 9? BY PNW STAFF AUGUST 22, 2016 Drone swarms are about to change the face of modern warfare and some prophecy watchers find both the technology and name of the US Naval program behind it perhaps more than coincidence. The US navy recently demonstrated its Low-Cost UAV Swarming Technology (LOCUST) program by putting 30 drones flying together in perfect formation. These drones are launched from a special tube in less than a minute to create a vicious swarm designed to overwhelm an adversary autonomously. What makes the swarm unique is that any hostile aircraft, manned or unmanned, can be brought down by a single missile, but a swarm can take multiple hits and keep going. The drones are self-reconfiguring so that if one drone gets taken out, the others autonomously change their behavior to complete the mission. Several test simulations by the Navy have shown that drone swarms are consistently able to get past ship defenses that are geared towards shooting down single planes. This weakness means it makes sense to attack an enemy ship with a large number of cheap drones rather than one missile costing the same. Ironically, the best counter to drone swarm attacks being studied is a defensive drone swarm that can intercept the offensive ones. The aim is to have thirty or more drones flying together without having to be individually controlled, maintaining separation safely like a flock of birds. They are different from any other drone in that the operator does not control an individual aircraft, but pilots the whole swarm as a single unit. With manned aircraft and ships, the pilots life counts for a lot; but swarming drones are expendable and high "casualties" do not matter as much. This is a very different world to the dogfights that, historically, have made up modern warfare and could drastically alter the course of air warfare forever. Experts predict that as drone swarm techniques are perfected they will expand both in number and use. The Office of Naval Research has already experimented with a swarming configuration of 13 robotic boats on Virginia's James River. The boats were able to perform a variety of tasks to protect a high-value ship from incoming craft. Some prophecy watchers find it interesting that the Bible describes "locust" type creatures that play a significant role in end-time conflict. Revelation 9 describes them this way: The shape of the locusts was like horses prepared for battle. On their heads were something like crowns of gold, and their faces were like faces of men. They had hair like the hair of women, and their teeth were like the teeth of lions. They had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots with many horses running to battle. They had tails like scorpions and stings in their tails. Their power was to hurt men for five months. They had as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek his name is Apollyon. (Revelation 9:7-11). What on earth was the Apostle John talking about? Exactly what kind of locusts did he witness on the Isle of Patmos where he received these prophetic revelations? The traditional interpretation is that these locusts could be evil entities and/or demonic physical or spiritual beings that will rise up out of the bottomless pit (abyss) to torment people and assume the characteristics of locusts (see today's article regarding CERN opening portals to different dimensions here) Others speculate they may be some form of grotesque variation of natural locusts as we know them today (perhaps even some form of chimeras or other DNA manipulation that scientists are now moving ahead with), or did John the Apostle perhaps see some advanced military aerial machinery that he lacked the words to describe? The revelations were given to him about 2,000 years ago when there would have been no way for him properly to describe 21st-century technological inventions that would follow many centuries later. Is it possible John was describing some type of technology in our day similar to the LOCUST program? Until recently, the most common technological correlation was that of helicopter gunships but, as insect looking drones and swarm technology become more common, this may present an interesting possible explanation. Either way, Revelation 9 suggests a time of immense pain and suffering that no one will want to experience, regardless of what final form it takes. http://www.prophecynewswatch.com/article.cfm?recent_news_id=580
I had a youtube video playing in the background, didn't bother to exit youtube when it finished or when other videos played automatically. I wasn't really paying attention to any of them until this one caught my attention. It's an interview with a young man who was into New Age stuff and converted to Christianity. I don't know what religion he converted to but it sounds like some strand of Evangelicalism, so be warned that he needs to continue seeking for the Truth. For example, he doesn't seem to understand that Christian meditation such as meditating on the life of Christ is not the same as New Age transcendental medidation. That said, I think that those of you with young children might benefit from learning some of the pitfalls facing your children. The New Age stuff is everywhere. I've even seen "Angel Cards" for sale in a hospital shop. Forewarned is forearmed.
PBS Kids airs gay marriage on 'Arthur' https://onemillionmoms.com/current-campaigns/pbs-kids-airs-gay- marriage-on-arthur/ Public television, in the name of 'diversity', pushes their liberal , politically correct agenda on children. Sad attempt to normalize disordered behavior.
This is no surprise to be honest, that cartoon has always pushed an adrogenous character as a little boy. If that is supposed to be a boy its the quietest mousiest boy they could come up with. I wouldn't let my kids watch that show when they were little and that was a long time ago.
Billboard in New York's Times Square catches fire AFP•May 18, 2019 New York (AFP) - One of the large digital billboards dotting New York's iconic Times Square briefly caught fire Saturday, before the blaze was extinguished with no reported injuries, officials said. Flames started bursting out of the billboard around 3:00 pm (1900 GMT). Social media users posted images and video showing the blaze burning on one side of the sign as it displayed an ad for SKYY vodka as sponsor of New York's WorldPride celebrations next month, marking the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall gay rights uprising. The ad featured drag queen Trixie Mattel. Other ads were also displayed on the billboard until firefighters turned it off. Mattel tweeted: "1) I'm happy to be in Times Square with @SKYYVodka 2) OMG HELP THEM. "My Times Square billboard is on fire so some of us have real problems. Omg @SKYYVodka our message of love!" Mattel added. A New York Fire Department spokesman said there were no injuries and no damage to the building to which the billboard is attached. The fire was under control at 3:58 pm, he told AFP, adding that it was not clear what started the fire. https://news.yahoo.com/billboard-yorks-times-square-catches-fire-221232338.html
Hmmm.....let's see....who are the ones who are really obsessed??!! Bill Maher attacks Barr's, Kavanaugh's Catholic faith: 'Strange cult he's never been able to leave' HBO host Bill Maher went on a long diatribe in which he appeared to air his grievances with his childhood faith of Catholicism, suggesting that public officials like Attorney General William Barr and Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh sought power so they could regulate people's sex lives. Barr's faith, Maher said, was the reason an apparently "smart, normal" Republican turned out to be so weird. "I'll tell you what happened -- In 1950, he was born into a strange cult and he's never been able to leave. It's called Catholicism." Maher started his criticism with Barr whom he said was "just the latest in a long lines of Republican, Catholic moralizers." He suggested that Barr and Kavanaugh had an unhealthy obsession with sex and sought, as other Catholics allegedly did, to invade people's private lives. "It's not about tyranny, it's about t**s," he said after quoting Barr lamenting the sexual revolution. Barr, he speculated, didn't care about President Trump allegedly wanting to be a "dictator" but just wanted to regulate sex. He went on to decry what he described as "this creepy, substrain of Catholic conservatives who think limited government means government should put a limit on people's sex lives." Those people, he said, included people like former Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa., Fox News host Sean Hannity, and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga. "Geez, Law and Order: Special Virgin's Unit," he quipped. He seemed to complain that Catholics represented a disproportionate amount of Supreme Court Justices including Clarence Thomas whose wife, he said, was "bats**t crazy." Maher appeared to try and psychoanalyze Kavanaugh, suggesting he was jealous of former President Bill Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky. Kavanaugh, who worked on the Starr report on Clinton, claimed Clinton "disgraced his office" by having sex with her in the White House. "He's not just mad he's not invited to the party. He's mad there is a party," he said of Kavanaugh. Maher's monologue came as Barr faced intense criticism over what some considered to be his unjust attempt to shield the president from scrutiny in the Russia investigation. Before Maher's Friday broadcast, the United States had gone through a long debate over Catholicism and traditional values. That included broader debates about abortion accessand religious liberty. In written questions for judicial nominee Brian Buescher, both Sens. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., and Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, suggested that the Knights of Columbus, a large charitable organization, was "extreme" given its pro-life positions and view of same-sex relationships. https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/bill-maher-william-barr-brett-kavanaugh-catholic
So the company responsible for the billboards yanked permission for the live fetus ultrasounds from being displayed on the billboards but failed in keeping those ultrasounds from being shown -- the organizers put up multiple large screen displays so people could still see them. And now some act of "nature" has struck, keeping the ad for the gay pride event from being shown. Hmmmm.... Nah. I'm sure there's no relation.
Member Shae started a thread on this forum about the sale on Etsy of consecrated Hosts. I posted an article from Catholic News that Etsy responded that they will not allow the sale of consecrated Hosts and to let customer service know if it happens in the future.
This is funny, right on the money and a rallying call, but I want you to take note 7 mins in. Where are they going with this 'Consent' thing? Creeps me out. Where do you think this is going?
It has been said many times, that a single nuclear bomb detonated in upper atmosphere will create a EMP that will take out all electronic equipment indefinitely. One would assume that these drones would thus be inoperable at the time or the event of EMP?
It is simply conditioning the public to the idea of "child consent" because the real "child consent" issue that they want to change is with young adult sexual consent laws. Woody Allen type stuff. The same tactics that were used with gay marriage will be used over again with the public who is largely completely void of any sort of morality outside their own clouded reason because they too have given themselves over completely to their own passions. The overton window in conjunction with the popular media on a dumbed down and enslaved population works wonders this way. Beat everyone over the head until they get so sick of hearing it they will acquiesce thinking it will never affect them anyway. Wrong. People are like horses with blinders on. The blinders being our own passions which have corrupted their hearts to anything resembling the truth of the matter.
