Scary stuff. Now that Russia and China are apparently banding together, what will stop them from causing more harm in the world?
Coincidence? https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/suez-canal-blocked-by-huge-container-ship/ar-BB1eThZE We are talking an additional 9000 kilometers to get stuff to Europe and an incredible increase in prices.
Time to pray the prayers of the Holy Face devotion. They were given to St Mary of St Peter to battle against the enemies of God, in particular communism. Download the prayers here: http://holyfacedevotion.com/ "Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Holy Face of Jesus, covered with blood, sweat, dust and spittle, in reparation for the crimes of communists, blasphemers, and for the profaners of the Holy Name and of the Holy Day of Sunday."
I pray this every day and bought a bunch of pamphlets and holy cards to spread, but am not sure where to leave them. Any ideas?
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/mar/23/oakland-california-universal-basic-income-program Oakland is set to become the latest city in California to launch a guaranteed income program, with the mayor announcing Tuesday a privately funded program for low-income families of color. The Oakland Resilient Families program will give families that meet a certain threshold $500 a month, with no rules on how they spend it. The program has so far raised $6.75m from private donors including Blue Meridian Partners, a national philanthropy group.
This is taking on mammoth proportions. I have read where this stalled ship is called the Ever Given or I have also heard it called Evergreen. Evergreen is Hillary Clinton's Secret Service name.
I get a lot of emails from a group in the UK pushing for Universal Basic Income. They have been inundating my inbox with emails this last week. It seems we are heading that same direction here in the US as well but UBI has a stigma most Americans don't support so they are just going about it a little differently here. https://www.the-sun.com/news/us-new...thly-2000-stimulus-checks-gains-momentum/amp/
You could give them to everyone you meet. For instance, every time you are paying for something in a shop as you are about to leave, turn to them and say here is a gift for you and give them the card or holy medal. Same when you go through toll booths, bus drivers, work colleagues and even the police or Garda. When you get stopped at checkpoints, as you are leaving just offer them a holy medal or say here is a gift. Very few people refuse a gift. You could also go door to door in your neighborhood or a neighborhood outside your area and place them through letter boxes.
Yet another interesting turn of events. https://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-...economic-cooperation-agreement/2371616870102/ Iran, China announce 25-year trade agreement March 27 (UPI) -- Iran and China signed a 25-year economic cooperation deal Saturday. Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and his Chinese counterpart, Wang Yi, took part in a ceremony announcing the deal, dubbed the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, on state television. The deal comes on the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, Politico reported. It's the first time Iran has signed a long-reaching agreement with another major world power, though a 10-year deal the country made with Russia underwent two five-year extensions, making it last 20 years total. Few details on the agreement have been published, but media reports say the agreement addresses a variety of economic sectors, including oil and mining as well as transportation and agricultural collaborations. The New York Times reported that experts say the deal is similar to a draft deal the newspaper obtained last summer. Under that agreement, China would expand its presence in Iranian banking, telecommunications, ports, railways and other projects. And in exchange, the country would receive a regular -- and heavily discounted -- supply of Iranian oil over the next 25 years. It's not clear how much of the deal can be implemented while the United States is still in dispute with Iran over its nuclear program. President Joe Biden's administration has said it is willing to reopen negotiations over the nuclear accord that then-President Donald Trump exited in 2018. RELATED China sanctions British officials, entities over Uighur 'lies, disinformation' Iran has so far refused to participate in negotiations until the United States lifts economic sanctions that have hampered Iran's economy.
