Poor duped people.....like boiling frogs: The Rise Of An Empire: All The Ways Amazon Grew Even Bigger Under Trump's Nose President Donald Trump thinks Amazon.com, Inc. AMZN 3.2%has too much power. Since Trump took office, the company and its affiliates have expanded in market cap, influence, geographic reach, breadth and depth of expertise. Amazon has diversified through acquisitions, partnerships and brick-and-mortar projects; it’s taken on health care, groceries, technology and books; and it’s penetrated intimate spaces with home assistants and smart technology. Here are just a few of the achievements and experiments recorded by what Mark Cuban’s called the “best startup in the world” since Trump's inauguration in 2017: Feb. 26: Amazon Studios wins two Academy Awards off seven nominations; May 17: Amazon is reported to be exploring a pharmaceutical segment; May 25: Amazon opens its first bookstore in New York; June 2: Amazon’s stock breaks $1,000; July 20: Amazon partners with Sears Holdings Corp SHLD 3.03%; July 21: Amazon buys fintech startup Graphiq; Aug. 28: Amazon buys Whole Foods Market; Sept. 7: Amazon rallies civic and business leaders in a nationwide frenzy for its second headquarters; Oct. 5: Amazon is reported to be experimenting with a new delivery system; Dec. 22: Amazon buys smart camera startup Blink; Dec. 26: Amazon reports a record holiday season; Jan. 5: Amazon invests in Indian insurtech firm Acko; Jan. 25: Amazon opens its first Go warehouse store; Jan. 30: Amazon teams with Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (NYSE: BRK.A) (NYSE: BRK.B) and JPMorgan Chase & Co. JPM 2.49% on health care solutions; Feb. 27: Amazon buys smart doorbell maker Ring. A South Park episode exposed the company’s in-home influence with Amazon Alexa; the company is amassing assets that could build out an Amazon-branded smart house. An outage in Amazon Web Services revealed the services’ importance to the business sector, and state leaders fell to their knees just to be in the brand’s presence. The mayor of an Atlanta suburb even offered 345 acres to establish a new city called “Amazon,” with CEO Jeff Bezos serving as lifetime mayor. It’s seized the fear and respect of disparate industries, with varying reports shaking retail stocks, grocery stocks, video distribution stocks and supply chain logistics stocks. Prime has proven a consumer magnet, with membership almost doubling since 2015. A portfolio manager calculated a total addressable market of “trillions of dollars” for the firm’s AWS service. Amazon still has air warehouses in the works to support drone deliveries and expand its dominion into an untapped market. Amazon is an empire, and Bezos is its king. The CEO, who also influences public discourse with The Washington Post and is breaking physical boundaries with Blue Origin, briefly becamethe richest person in the world last year. All the while, the philanthropic and business mogul has all but ensured enduring likability for the brand and himself by donating headquarters space to a homeless shelter and aiding low-income consumers with discounts. Amazon's stock, meanwhile, has moved from $800 a share in January 2017 to north of $1,400 today. Amazon’s supreme ruler is a critical asset to the rapidly expanding kingdom. With a leader undaunted by failure and unhindered by spatial, financial or skill-related restrictions, the sky is the limit. https://www.benzinga.com/general/ed...all-the-ways-amazon-grew-even-bigger-under-tr
Is The 'Ring Of Fire' Becoming More Active? https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-04-06/ring-fire-becoming-more-active Interesting too how, within a part of Mark Taylor's "Trump Prophecy" called "Energy Energy", he says he was told that a sign for the beginning of this (re: energy production by the U.S. and Israel) would be a large volcanic eruption in Sumatra....and so he says that Mount Sinabung he believes was that sign!
For the communists. I have a hunch that the suppression of the Gospel is going to set China on fire with the longing for the Truth. The communists will never learn.
I love amazon! we order off amazon at least 2-3-4 times a week! The president needs to stay out of private business matters and leave any individual comany a lone. We would have lynched Obama for doing the same

Earthquake strikes US: California, Oklahoma, Texas and Nebraska hit in quick succession A STRING of powerful earthquakes have rocked the west and central US with several of them hitting near to the dreaded RING OF FIRE. Some eight earthquakes have rocked the United States in quick succession, all of which have taken place on April 9. The strongest of the earthquakes, and also the most recent, came in Perry, Oklahoma, when a 4.3 magnitude tremor hit the central US state. However, there have been no reports of damage to buildings in the area. People took to social media to share their experience, with one writing: “Another earthquake in Oklahoma, shaking us awake just now!” Other people share similar views, with Twitter user Arianna saying that she believes this is a sign that a bigger earthquake is coming. She wrote: “All these little earthquakes just leading up to the big earthquake soon that destroys us”. Since midnight, there have also been earthquakes in Alaska, Nebraska, Texas and three in California. Both California and Alaska sit on the deadly Ring of Fire – the largest and most active fault line in the world, stretching from New Zealand, all around the east coast of Asia, over to Canada and the USA and all the way down to the southern tip of South America – which causes more than 90 percent of the world’s earthquakes. https://www.express.co.uk/news/scie...rnia-Oklahoma-Texas-Nebraska-latest-news-USGS
https://agensir.it/quotidiano/2018/...le-implementing-a-project-for-a-joint-easter/ Patriarch Bartholomew: to the Roman clergy, “even if slow, the walk towards the unity of our Churches is unstoppable”. “Implementing a project” for a joint Easter “Since the XVI century, the distance the Julian and Gregorian calendars have taken from each other has led to having a different Easter date. We are sure that, as soon as the time is right, our Churches will be able to humbly and willingly implement a joint and to listen to St Paul’s invitation as a cry that sounds more urgent than ever nowadays, in a globalised, media-dependent world: ‘Christ, our Passover Lamb, has been sacrificed’ (1 Cor. 5, 7-8)”. This was said earlier today by His Holiness, Bartholomew, archbishop of Constantinople and Ecumenical Patriarch, as he received at Fanar the general vicar of the Holy Father for the diocese of Rome, mgr. Angelo De Donatis, and the Roman clergy, who are in Turkey on a pilgrimage these days. In repeating the Easter announcement – “Christ rose from the dead!” – which will resound in the Orthodox Churches on Sunday, April 8th, Patriarch Bartholomew invited to “go and announce this great truth to all the world, we must make it the source and walk of our personal experience, we must embody it and make it fruitful in the life of the Church”. And, mentioning why they were there, Bartholomew pointed out that “being pilgrims means walking the ways of the world, it also means converting oneself to get rid of the labours of life so as to walk a way of holiness and completely entrust oneself to God”. Then, the ecumenical Patriarch mentioned that “you come from Rome, where our beloved brother, Pope Francis, is bishop. A deep unity of purpose has bonded us since His election and has gone on fruitfully in the five years of His Papacy, and it has found us together in so many events and so many times”. “Our meetings, our common perseverance in looking for all the possible ways to solve the unsolved issues between our Churches – he added – have been imbued with great mutual respect, trust and Christian love. And so has the international Catholic-Orthodox theological dialogue, which has already borne plenty of fruit”. “Even if slow, even if sometimes hesitantly, the walk towards the unity of our Holy Churches is unstoppable – he concluded – because God wants it, and because we must be His witnesses in this world that does not care for God”.
I know this is a little overdue and perhaps it has been discussed already, but I know there are a lot of sky-watchers on the forum here. In case anyone missed it there was a lunar event on January 31st 2018. It was both a Blue Moon and a Blood Moon. That is an exceedingly rare event. It also is the feast day of St. John Bosco. I know he has a "month of flowers" prophecy that might have to do with lunar events. So for what it's worth there it is
Praetorian, Yep! We "watched" it all and Father Heilman was kind enough to cover it all for us in some very good articles! I do wonder if Father Heilman was correct that the January 31st celestial event pointed to the March 31st blue moon and something big did occur like maybe more people woke up and the direction has really begun to change for the Church. After all, St. Bosco's prophecy sounds positive! I don't think we will ever fully understand the prophecy but I pray that things are going to get better for the Church and eventually for the world. Extra Incentive from St. John Bosco to Join Nineveh 90 for Life Some members participated in this! I wish I could say that I did. I am going to do the 33 day consecration beginning next Tuesday though. January 31 Super Blue Blood Moon and St. John Bosco’s Dream/Prophecy God Seems to Be Pointing to March 31. Why?
I don't know the significance of the date except to say that since the conference in Rome the following Saturday about the crisis in the Church I have felt a tangible difference. People much more openly coming out now and pointing to the problems. Good luck on the Consecration! Best thing I ever did!
Scientists Report Two Stars Colliding in 2022…Is This The Garabandal Prophecy About The Warning? by TED FLYNN| APRIL 9, 2018 In the near future, there will be a supernatural event that has never happened before in world history — The Illumination of Conscience or The Warning. This event was one of four events mentioned by the Blessed Mother at the apparitions of Garabandal, Spain from 1961-1965. One of the four young visionaries Conchita at that time said, “The Warning would be like two stars colliding.” That is a very odd metaphor since few people other than extremely sophisticated celestial scientists ever speak like that. Astronomers have been studying a pair of stars since 2013, and are making a prediction that in 2022 two stars will merge and explode, lighting up the sky for a short time. The exact date is not precisely known, but as the date approaches they predict they will be more accurate. The name of the pair of stars are KIC 9832227 and in the constellation Cygnus. After several years of study, The American Astronomical Society predict that the pair of stars will explode as a “red nova.” Calvin College professor Larry Molnar said, “the two stars are orbiting each other now and share a common atmosphere like two peanuts sharing a single shell. When they do merge and explode, its brightness will increase ten thousand fold, becoming one of the brightest stars in the heavens for a time and be visible to the naked eye.” As the Magi followed the star above the birthplace of Jesus, we may see again science validating prophecy. The story of creation is written in the stars, and it must be remembered that the prophesied events at Garabandal are cosmic events for the entire world, not just a localized phenomena in the Cantabrian Mountains, Spain, above the nine pines. What a story it would be if two stars collide as written ushering in the “time of times.” We know at the time of the Illumination of Conscience, hope would be nearly lost in the human spirit due to deteriorating conditions in the world. When people speak about a major event they will often say, “this is of biblical proportions.” It means it is rare and big. They say it because they know it is not an ordinary event for a Moses figure to bring ten prophesied supernatural plagues on a country. Then as a follow up after leaving Egypt, God parts the sea for safe passage for His followers. It was then that Pharaoh decided enough was enough and he let the Hebrew people go. Then as the people grumbled, food fell from the heavens that sustained several million people all at once in a barren desert for decades. Yahweh then gave His people a sign of His presence in the desert; a pillar of smoke by day, and a fire (Shekinah Glory) by night to remind them of His fidelity to them. Still, they remained stiff-necked –much like some of humanity today. No matter what book you open in Scripture, you will see the supernatural. God is a God of signs and wonders. It is as much of His DNA as mercy and love. No man walked on water, turned water into wine, cured the sick, prayed over the tomb of a friend and had them rise from the dead after being laid to rest three days earlier. No man ever said about himself “destroy this tomb and in three days I will rebuild it.” The fact is, no one understood what He was talking about until after the events happened. If we are honest and have a degree of scriptural literacy, we will see when events are prophesied in scripture, they sometimes seem absurd and out of the realm of possibility — in the natural order. What most often happens is that a prophecy is given and people cannot figure out how it will happen. Reason clouds their faith and supernatural intellect, based on reason and logic alone. What one thinks may happen doesn’t happen as they thought it may, but in retrospect it does happens just as it was prophesied — most often to the letter—supernaturally. One can look at nearly any prophecy and it is often hard to understand when spoken. Akita, Rwanda, Fatima, Rue du Bac, LaSalette, and many others are prime examples of this. But, they all played out to the letter as the Blessed Mother said, when viewed in retrospect. Few believed what was said at that time and had detractors, but the serious student saw it historically happen exactly as written, but not as they imagined. Garabandal, Spain is one apparition site that embodies this thinking. None of it is logical at this point. Joey Lomangino, was blind and was supposed to see the Great Miracle. As the apostle of Garbandal, he died on June 18, 2014 never having seen the Great Miracle as he and others thought. June 18 was a significant date because St. Michael first appeared to the Garabandal visionaries on June 18, 1961, which is the date that set events in motion. It was then on July 2, 1961 that Our Lady first appeared to the visionaries. This date was then the Feast of the Ark of the Covenant, a title she has assumed as the New Ark of the Covenant. She is at this point in time the prophetess of our age, and is leading her people into battle to defeat the dark ruler of this world. The battle is so ferocious against her, because it is her appointed role by the Most Holy Trinity to step on the head of the serpent. Mari Loli, one of the four young visionaries of Garabandal, had been living for many years in Haverhill, Massachusetts as a mother and wife. She died in April 2009. Those following the messages of Garabandal know that the promises and prophecies made to the four young visionaries in the early 1960’s are of “biblical proportions.” What is promised is a Warning. Other phrases to describe it are an Illumination of Conscience, a Life Review, a Judgment in Miniature, or seeing the state of your soul as God would view you at judgment. Everyone in the world will experience this at the exact same moment. ALL people who have ever experienced something like this say without reservation, that it is the single defining moment in their lives. Often for years they are unable to find the words to describe the experience. After The Warning will be a Great Miracle at Garabandal, then a Chastisement, and an Era of Peace. There are no other apparitions of the Blessed Mother to the world that are playing out in the same fashion. Yet, at the moment, the prophecies are difficult to believe from a logical perspective. However, to the trained eye we are moving at lightning speed now to the spirit of the prophecy. A favorite parlor game up until the Jubilee of the year 2000 was to guess the date of either the Warning/ Illumination of Conscience and The Great Miracle. However, here we are in the year 2018 and no Warning or Miracle. God writes straight with crooked lines. I have found that those who continually try to predict a date are universally wrong. Often it is pride speaking with one trying to show the world how tuned in with God they are. As the saying goes, those who know don’t tell, and those who tell don’t know. At the time of the Great Miracle, it was prophesied that people would nearly all fall away in belief about Garabandal. Conchita is supposed to be alive at the time of the events, and she is at the time of this writing 69 years old. As we watch events in the church and the world spiral out of control, heaven will respond in kind to the evil in the world. Where sin abounds, grace abounds all the more. Jesus, I Trust In You
Anybody still doubt that Christians are under ASSAULT by Democrats, political allies and their Blue State/City Fiefdoms!!?? Ya can't be a Traditional Christian in word & deed in Public. Nor are you allowed to point out outrages or condemn abortion, perversion or Islam. It appears to be no different or even worse in former Christendom: "New Yorker Mag: What’s A Christian Traditionalist Business Like Chick-Fil-A Doing Infiltrating Our City?" https://hotair.com/archives/2018/04...st-business-like-chick-fil-infiltrating-city/ "Democrats Still Have a Religion Problem, Cory Booker Demonstrates" https://www.newsmax.com/billdonohue...r-religion-christianity/2018/02/02/id/841169/ "Antifa And The SPLC Successfully Shut Down Four Anti-Islam Conferences" http://dailycaller.com/2018/04/12/anti-islam-events-wisconsin-minnesota-shut-down-antifa-splc/ GOD SAVE ALL HERE!!
Thank you for the links. Makes me proud to be a “deplorable “ My son is general manager of a Chick-fil-A as I have posted before The fact that he does not work on Sundays has enabled us to attend Mass as a family and enjoy family dinners afterward, for years running now This is not a small thing That company is blessed Our Lady of LaSalette bemoaned the people who worked on Sundays, skipped Mass, and swore Crew Dog, you and I are old enough to remember the blue laws when nothing was open on Sundays.
I have seen this in a couple of other places. I just remembered also, the last total eclipse was Aug 21 2017, the next which will again cross North America is going to be in 6 years April 8 2024; after that Aug 12 2045; for whatever that's worth. Personally I want to be there in 2024. Looking at the 2017 & 2045 paths online, they are very close together. Does this mean anything? Don't know but you would think it is for us to pay attention!!
