https://www.foxnews.com/us/defrocke...ge-boys-fatally-shot-in-nevada-police-say.amp A defrocked Roman Catholic priest who was among nearly 200 New Jersey priests facing accusations of sexual abuse was shot and killed in a Las Vegas suburb, officials said Tuesday. John Capparelli, 70, was found dead Saturday inside the kitchen of his Henderson home with a gunshot wound to his neck, said Nicole Charlton, the Clark County Coroner’s Office medical examiner. Capparelli had moved into the $319,000 home in August 2016, according to property records. Police believe Capparelli died amid “suspicious circumstances,” but authorities haven’t divulged details as to whether there’s a suspect in his death or if the killing had anything to do with the abuse allegations. “Preliminary investigation indicates the victim died of suspicious circumstances, and the incident is being investigated as a homicide,” police said in a statement, according to NJ.com. “A suspect has not been identified at this time and police are following up on developed leads.” Capparelli, who was included last month on a list of 180 priests facing abuse allegations as named by five New Jersey dioceses, was a math tutor for high school and college students. Joann D’Angelo, a neighbor, told the Associated Press that Capparelli lived alone. “He was a very quiet man,” she said. “He minded his own business.” Capparelli was among the priests accused of groping and brutalizing teen boys in the 1970s and 1980s and was defrocked in 1992, according to an NJ.com report last month. He later worked as a public school math teacher in the Newark, N.J., School District but agreed to have his teaching licenses revoked in 2011 when the allegations first emerged.
Maybe it's time to take the remaining herds and stencil the Divine Mercy Image on them for protection. (Can you imagine the uproar in the MSM if the next time a blizzard came through the only cattle that survived were these ones with the DM image on them?) (Yeah, neither can I.)

Tarrant's manifesto cites Finsbury Park mosque attacker Tarrant’s extremist manifesto also cites ‘Darren Osbourne’ an apparent reference to Darren Osborne who was jailed for life for his murderous attack on Muslims at London’s Finsbury Park mosque in June 2017. It said: “I support many of those that take a stand against ethnic and cultural genocide. Luca Traini, Anders Breivik, Dylan Roof, Anton Lundin Pettersson, Darren Osbourne etc.” Osborne was convicted of murdering Makram Ali and the attempted murders of other people in the attack. The judge said he attacked innocent people, but his particular choice to target a group wearing traditional Islamic dress reflected his “ideology of hate towards Muslims”.

On a now-deleted Twitter account, Tarrant posted multiple photos of what appear to be machine gun magazines and a link to what is being described as a manifesto for his actions. The 74-page document starts off quoting a Dylan Thomas poem, Do not go gentle into that good night, and then moves onto a rant about white genocide. Tarrant outlines his motivations: including to “create an atmosphere of fear” and to “incite violence” against Muslims while offering up autobiographical details.

Another victim died in hospital. A man in his late 20s has been charged with murder and will appear in Christchurch court tomorrow. Two others arrested at the scene with guns are being investigated. A fourth person arrested may have had nothing to do with the attack. Several guns have been recovered from both mosques. Two explosive devices were found on two vehicles at the scene. One has been disabled. The suspects were unknown to the police. The police remain vigilant but are not looking for anyone else in connection with the attacks. Updated at 7.47pm AEDT
This is what happens when Governments and society reject the social enthronement of Christ and embrace paganism. This man is a product of it and the belief that violent revolution is the only solution to the problems we face. From his "manifesto" which I have attached; Why did you choose to use firearms? I could have chosen any weapons or means.A TATP filled rental van. Household flour, a method of dispersion and an ignition source.A ballpeen hammer and a wooden shield.Gas,fire,vehicular attacks,plane attacks, any means were available. I had the will and I had the resources. I chose firearms for the affect it would have on social discourse, the extra media coverage they would provide and the affect it could have on the politics of United states and thereby the political situation of the world. The US is torn into many factions by its second amendment, along state, social, cultural and, most importantly, racial lines. With enough pressure the left wing within the United states will seek to abolish the second amendment, and the right wing within the US will see this as an attack on their very freedom and liberty. This attempted abolishment of rights by the left will result in a dramatic polarization of the people in the United States and eventually a fracturing of the US along cultural and racial lines.
Apathy is what is on the loose. The West long ago abandoned Christ in the public space. JFK spoke all about it and his hopes for a nation with absolute separation of church and state. Without Christ there will be no peace that is ever lasting. History proves this and yet here we are reliving it once again in the hope that this time it will be different. Our own governments have taken up arms against Him and relentlessly attempt to indoctrinate our children to paganism. How long before the Roman system of law which has served us well has faded away completely.
I researched Conyers GA for a while when it first began, and had thought it had been condemned. Apparently not, which is why we have to be VERY careful when reviewing contemporary reports of apparitions. The Evil One does not hesitate to deceive or to use those who claim to (or even try to) report the truth to spread misinformation, at the very least. Nancy Fowler's alleged apparitions have not been condemned, but her local bishop is taking a neutral stance, waiting to see what fruits it bears. Here's a link to an old story from Spirit Daily, which includes a link to a news program from Fox on the alleged apparition: https://spiritdaily.org/blog/uncategorized/a-little-alleged-seer-update
My daughter was cured from chronic asthma while we were visiting Conyers. It was a miracle. Our Lady did appear there. My rosary turned gold, and the scent of roses was everywhere. I saw sparks surrounding the house when Our Lady appeared to Nancy. Even the devil attacked me while visiting there. Believe me it was very real. But the Freemasons of Georgia did everything they could to condemn the property and they were successful. So sad. But I will never forget our experience, and I am so grateful Mother Mary was there for me and my family.
Estonian President Urges Unity Among Allies Against Russia March 13, 2019 8:42 PM | Natalie Liu | https://www.voanews.com/a/estonian-...er-us-involvement-to-face-russia/4827949.html Estonian President Kersti Kaljulaid speaks during an interview in Tallinn, Estonia, Jan. 22, 2019. WASHINGTON — Estonia's president called for continued unity among democratic allies in the face of Russian aggression on Wednesday and expressed a wish for even greater U.S. involvement in the Baltics. Kersti Kaljulaid, on her second visit to the United States in less than a year, told an audience at the Brookings Institution that membership in the European Union and NATO have served to defend and enhance her country's sovereignty. With only 1.2 million people and located on the Baltic Sea near Russia, the former Soviet republic has been especially concerned about growing Russian assertiveness, particularly since its annexation of the Ukrainian region of Crimea and its military support for two breakaway regions in Georgia. 'Direct involvement in Baltics' The United States has responded with military exercises along NATO's borders with Russia and a troop presence in Poland, actions acknowledged by Kaljulaid. While "America's contribution to enhanced forward presence in Poland is appreciated, we would love to see more U.S. direct involvement in the Baltics as well," she said. Rachel Ellehuus, deputy director and senior fellow with the Europe Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), said Estonia and its Baltic neighbors have served as model members of NATO since being admitted to the defense alliance in 2004, but cannot defend themselves without help. "Due to their small size, they need our and NATO's help in procuring big-ticket capabilities," Ellehuus said in an interview. Quick US response appreciated The former Pentagon official noted that the United States was the first country to send forces to the Baltics following Russia's takeover of Crimea. She said she would like to see "a persistent rotational presence of U.S. forces in the Baltics and possibly funding in the appropriations bill to support regional capability development in areas such as air and maritime surveillance." In an age of increasing attention devoted to big-power politics and competition, it is understood that small states like the Baltic countries cannot win a war against a power like Russia, but they can raise the cost of war for their potential adversaries. "Their strategy is to increase resilience and hold the line until reinforcements, i.e., NATO, regional partners, can come to their aid," said Ellehuus. She quoted her former boss at the Pentagon, Secretary of Defense James Mattis, saying that "even the bear knows to avoid the porcupine.” In Ellehuus's words: The Baltics can take steps "to make themselves as indigestible as possible," even though they don't have the capacity to win an all-out war against their giant neighbor to the east. 'Follow-up plan' In her speech on Wednesday, Kaljulaid said her country was prepared to "hold the line" against an initial assault but that the "follow-on plan" involving sufficient allied forces was not yet in place. Her visit to Washington comes at a time when the Pentagon made it clear in the latest national defense budget proposal that it is focused on countering rising capacities from both Russia and China and ensuring that potential adversaries know there is "no path to victory" if they choose to fight the United States.
The problem is we can’t afford NATO. These wars in the Middle East has been a huge problem for us. A never ending nightmare. We were focusing in the wrong area. Our own Pope John Paul II warned Bush of this including Maria Esperanza, and I believe the seer from Ukraine, Terelya. We now have the enemy in our own back yard, in our schools, media, etc. We should have invested in our own country first, like Russia and China did. 3 trillion dollars from the Pentagon went missing during the Bush years. And nobody was held accountable. I’m still praying for America, but we really need a miracle.
From what I've read, in order to obtain organs one cannot be dead....why they have their own definition of when death occurs. There are so many cases where patients declared as "vegetables" are quickly encouraged to have systems shut down prematurely. Those who go through the hoops of opting out would, as things go today, probably have those records lost! Strange how all the systems that want population control (perhaps this is one of the methods) via abortion et al, seem to be using such "experimentation" as an excuse for helping humankind live longer. Go figure! All Adults Automatically Organ Donors Unless They Opt Out in New English Law The Organ Donation (Deemed Consent) Bill received Royal Assent on Friday, meaning that from 2020 all of England’s adult residents of sound mind will be presumed to have “consented” to having their organs donated after death unless they have specified otherwise. The law, similar to that adopted in Wales in 2015, “will mean adults in England will be considered potential donors unless they chose to opt out or are excluded,” according to a Government statement. Excluded are those who have not lived in England for at least one year before their death, those who “lack the mental capacity to understand the changes for a significant period before their death,” and children under the age of 18. Those who do not want their organs to be taken will need to actively inform the National Health Service, by recording their choice on the NHS Organ Donation Register. Next of kin are still able to object. The government believes that presuming consent will help reduce the list of people currently waiting for an organ; however, the similar Welsh law has so far failed to increase the number of donated organs. Sceptics of the law say that better campaigning, education, and more trained staff to discuss organ donation with people would increase the numbers of those actively signing up to donate. It has also raised questions of the moral implications, and issues of personal autonomy, if the state can presume rights over a person’s organs after death. The Christian Institute’s Ciarán Kelly advises that “The law should respect the voluntary nature of organ donation. This is also a concerning shift in the balance of power between the state and the individual.” NHS psychiatrist Dr Max Pemberton said, “It’s no longer a powerful and generous gift that brings families together, but an assumption by the State that it can do what it wants with your body.” While medical ethicist Dr Piers Benn said in August, in advance of the bill being debated in the House of Commons, that it could leave some people feeling “cheated” and “uncomfortable”. “The issue really is how do we weigh up the number of lives saved with the need to respect fully the consent of the person who has just died to what happens to their organs,” Dr Benn said. Telegraph comment editor Tom Welsh wrote that “politicians are completely blinded to how seriously people take the principle of active consent. “Presumed consent upsets many precisely because it is presumptuous: it turns donation from a wonderful gift into a mechanical process of appropriation; more disturbingly, it subtly shifts the ownership of our bodies to the state.” https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/03/16/all-adults-presumed-organ-donors-new-english-law/
Here in the US many are not aware that if they are organ donors in a vegetative state then they are kept functionally alive by the hospital until their organs are harvested which kills them. These "organ harvests" are also not performed by doctors. Lovely eh? I know someone that flies all over the western US harvesting organs.

This is ludicrous. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think we would see this sort of abandoning of fundamental principals of decency to include the protection of children from perverts and in Texas of all places. https://www.rt.com/usa/453976-drag-queen-storytime-sex-offender/ Oops! Texas library apologizes for hiring sex offender to dress in drag & read to kids Published time: 16 Mar, 2019 07:57 Edited time: 16 Mar, 2019 11:16 Get short URL © Global Look Press / Timothy L. Hale The Houston Public Library has apologized to parents after a man who volunteered to read to kids during "Drag Queen Storytime" turned out to be a sex offender charged with assaulting a child. What are the odds? Albert Alfonso Garza – a volunteer drag queen associated with the Houston Public Library program, who performs as Tatiana Mala Nina – was charged with child sex assault on an eight-year-old boy in 2008, according to Mass Resistance, a group that has protested the Drag Queen Storytime program. Read more The library admitted they had hadn’t run a background check on Garza and issued a statement saying they are very sorry and promising never to do it again, though some protesters want more than an apology. "If they had done their job and due diligence, if they had said wait...maybe it's not a good idea to have a sex offender who at 200 pounds and 5-foot-11 assaulted an 8-year-old boy!" said Tracy Shannon, a member of Mass Resistance. "No participant is ever alone with children, and we have not received any complaints about any inappropriate behavior by participants at storytimes," the statement, cited by media, read, assuring parents that the library is taking "appropriate action" to ensure all other participants are "verified." The library declined to elaborate on whether participants are normally subjected to a criminal background check, or what "verification" entails, but assured parents that "this participant will not be involved in any future HPL programs."

The program launched in 2017 at the Montrose branch, ostensibly to teach children "to embrace gender diversity in themselves and in others" and has met with considerable resistance from locals, including lawsuits, petitions, and protests
The following story is truly unique. I wasn't sure where to post it but here it is... Mar. 14, 2019 Underwater Crucifix Draws Hundreds to Frozen Michigan Lake The underwater monument is a touching remembrance of divers who have died in Michigan waters Kathy Schiffer | http://www.ncregister.com/blog/ksch...impse-of-underwater-crucifix-in-lake-michigan It was cold on Saturday morning, March 9 in Petoskey, Michigan – it's been a cold winter, to be sure – but that didn't stop an estimated 1,200 of the faithful and the curious from venturing out onto the frozen ice of Lake Michigan, then trekking 800 feet from shore to peer through a hole in the five-foot-thick ice. There, clearly visible with the help of underwater lighting and a tent that shielded from the sun's rays, was a giant crucifix. What was it doing down there, 22 feet below the surface in the cold waters of Little Traverse Bay? The Sad Origins of the Petoskey Crucifix Carved in Italy by local artisans, the 11-foot, 1,850-pound white marble crucifix was commissioned by a wealthy farming family from Rapson, an unincorporated town near Bad Axe, in Michigan's Thumb area. Their 15-year-old son, Gerald Schipinski, had been accidentally killed in a shotgun accident on the family farm, and Schipinski's parents selected the crucifix to be placed on his gravesite. However, the crucifix was badly damaged while being transported via ship across the ocean; and when it arrived, the parents – seeing its arms broken off and other damage sustained while at sea – refused to accept it. To return it to Italy, where it had been created, would have been cost-prohibitive; so it was set out for a single season at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Rapson. The following year, it was put up for an insurance sale. A Second Life for the Damaged Crucifix The damaged crucifix was purchased for only $50 by the Wyandotte Superior Dive Club, from the Detroit downriver suburb of Wyandotte. The club wanted the crucifix to become a diving destination, commemorating Charles Raymond, a diver from Southgate, Michigan who drowned in nearby Torch Lake. Later, the club expanded its remembrance to include all divers who have lost their lives in Michigan's waters. The diving club repaired the crucifix at a cost of approximately $900; and on Aug. 12, 1962, carried by the U.S. Icebreaker Sundew, the crucifix was dropped into the waters 1,200 feet offshore from the Petoskey breakwall. But the crucifix hadn't yet reached its final resting place. Divers found that its location, 55 feet below the water's surface, made for a difficult dive; so in 1984 it was moved to its current location, only 800 feet from shore and 22 feet deep. There, it has remained a popular dive site. Every year on one Saturday in February or March, if the ice is firm, the public is invited to cross the ice to see the crucifix for themselves. For the past few years, the ice has been unstable, and visitors have not been welcomed to the site. In 2015, the last year in which the statue was seen by the public, the Emmet County Sheriff's Office Dive Team reported that a record 2,021 local and international visitors stood in line for two and a half hours to see the crucifix and to pray.
It is so strange this. Did you know that two different woman also disappeared round different parts of the coast? That makes five dead. St Patrick's Day can be dangerous. I notice how often priests pray for protection round this time at mass.
