I thought the same thing Byron when I read that. The final insult to God's creation. I remember Malachi Martin saying God would only let man go so far in destroying His creation.
Yes. I noticed that. I also noticed how "it all went away". The info is out there if anyone wants to find it. Journalists who have doggedly pursued the truth have had a lot of threats and trouble.
this happened in my country too! was the original story about Argentina? or did the same thing happen in different places?
I do remember that Wayfair story. I believe it was Mel Gibson who also said that every Hollywood studio is bought and paid for with the blood of innocent children, and that the elites feast on their blood. You hear these things, but at the time you think it's so out there it just couldn't be true. With everything that has gone down over the past few years I'm inclined to believe all of this evil is actually happening, and they will will soon be exposed.
I agree. I believe it will all come to light. I saw an old interview with Mel Gibson from 98 on you tube. He said when he first got to Hollywood he knew something was very very wrong but he couldn't figure it out. Later he knew. Horrible. I remember reading something about Keanu Reeves having a similar experience. He refuses to live there.
It's so horrible, it's hard to accept it could be true. But when you see the kinds of things they think up to put in horror movies...it makes perfect sense. What kind of minds could come up with these things and stomach acting them out?

https://www.marcotosatti.com/2023/0...with-rossyia-tv-the-war-the-u-s-the-churches/ This interview with Archbishop Vigano should be read by everyone. He lays out the evil players that he says are intent upon destroying Christianity and ushering in the New World Order led by the Antichrist. These evil people have powerful tentacles throughout the Western world including the Catholic Church and are driving the Ukranian war. Father Ripperger always says you have to name the evil spirit to drive it out. Archbishop Vigano defines the evil players in detail. We as Catholics have a duty to understand the evil we face in order to effectively pray and act against it. If we choose not to face this evil, recent events have shown us that we are very likely to become its victims and, even worse, its cheerleaders.
Constructive criticism cam be helpful but Archbishop Vigano isn't helping the Church with these tirades. I lean towards believing that there was a colour revolution in the Church culminating in the resignation of Pope Benedict. I'm not convinced that Pope Francis played an active role in that. For example, if the insurrectionists inside the Church conspired with banksters to cut the Vatican from the SWIFT system, I think it most unlikely that Pope Francis knew anything about it. Archbishop Vigano seems to believe that Pope Francis micromanaged it all. If he doesn't intend to give that impression, he should be more careful how he expresses himself. Pope John XX111 wasn't a Mason. Vatican 11 was a valid Council. The worst anyone can say about its documents is that they were bland. How the Council's decisions were implemented isn't the fault of Pope John. Casting doubt on Church Councils is a no-no for any Catholic. The Orthodox have been doing that for centuries, and look where it got them. Even if Pope Francis were the worst scoundrel in the world, he's still the occupant of the See of Peter and entitled to all the respect of the office he holds. He, like any other person, is entitled at the very least to the benefit of the doubt. Remember how St. Peter reacted when he was told that he had not shown deference to the High Priest? Archbishop Vigano is no St. Peter and Pope Francis, for all his faults, is a walking Saint compared to the High Priest. With direct personal knowledge of what Pope Francis knew about McCarrick, it's fair enough for the Archbishop to criticise the Pope's decision to bring McCarrick back into service, but he shouldn't be using it to lend credence to speculation. I also don't believe it wise to mix internal matters of Church governance with global politics. I honestly believe that the Archbishop's tirades are not good for him or for the Church. Pope Francis will be gone soon enough. What if he is replaced by a saintly Pope intent on getting us back to the narrow path? That Pope's opponents will be able make all kinds of unproven allegations against that Pope using Archbishop Vigano as an example of their right to so-called freedom of speech. He may be a terrible Pope and he can be rather vindictive, but I don't believe that Pope Francis is an out and out heretic on a mission to destroy the Church. These are troubling times but God can bring good from the worst situations. If cutting the Vatican from the SWIFT system really was part of a plan to oust a sitting Pope, whoever was behind it signed the death warrant for SWIFT. We may not live to see the conversion of Russia but we might live to bid good riddance to SWIFT although I have no great hopes for whatever replaces it.
Isn't the plan for Mexico to send in US troops to take out the drug cartels? About a year ago I watched some expert give a talk in a US military base and he said that was a possibility. I'm fairly sure that I posted that video on the forum. He also said something to the effect that the Chinese military is so bad that New Zealand could beat then. That video came to mind recently when a US politician actually proposed that as a solution to the fentanyl problem.
I think, Jack, that Putin was hoping for closer ties with the West because Russia and China have had issues in the past over their shared border. The West's sabre rattling made Putin and Xi conclude that closer ties was their best chance of withstanding Western aggression. NATO will always need an enemy to justify its existence. I expect the Arctic to be the next disputed region after Taiwan and the South China Sea. We'll probably be put under pressure to join NATO. Although we're not strategically important, I fear they won't take a chance on having an outlier in the North Atlantic. People who criticise Russia for its high abortion levels conveniently ignore the fact that Russia is coming out of nearly a century of Communism. I read that approximately one in five American women have had an abortion. What's their excuse? Then there's the tripe about Russia being a country of alcoholics. Is their drug problem as bad as ours? I go to evening Mass in the city on Sundays. Every Sunday on at least three occasions a drug addict will beg from me when I'm stopped at traffic lights or when I enter or leave the church. I'm sure it's no better in the rest of Europe. News of fentanyl and opioid addiction in the US suggests that they are in no position to point fingers at Russia's alcoholics. None of the above makes Russia or China our friend. China is hardline Communist. Putin may or may not be a believing Christian. It's in his interests to be on good terms with the Orthodox Church. State involvement in Church affairs seems to be a thing in traditionally Orthodox countries. Putin's getting old and his successor may a believer or he could be a communist. Even if his successor is a believer, the Orthodox can be just as vitriolic against Catholics as hardline Protestants and it doesn't help that Catholic Poland seems to be on a mission of vengeance against the Russians, seizing the opportunity to kick them when they appear to be down, I hope the Pope has maintained good relations with the Orthodox Patriarch. All we can do is pray and put our trust in God. He might have a surprise for us and do something that converts the powerful elites.
One in 5 American women have had an abortion. How many more use abortifacient birth control? The push is on to sell birth control without a prescription now.
In a grisly and horrible way this reminds me of the nazis stepping up the murder count as they began to lose the war. These are horrifying statistics. One in five! Dear Jesus have mercy!
