Did you know that the Chief Executive of Hong Kong Carrie Lam is a practicing Catholic and she was the one who tried to bring forward new laws meaning people in Hong Kong can be sent to man land China? She appears to think she work closely, as a Catholic with the Communists to do things like this...and no wonder since the Vatican has paved the way. On the other hand Catholics including Cardinal Zen have been leading protests out there. What a terrible situation. Carrie Lam
All I can say is God Bless Cardinal Zen. This man will very likely drink the cup of Martyrdom IMO. I don't know much about him outside what he has spoken out against but I think he is a living Saint for what he is enduring and for his encouraging his brethren and brothers and sisters in Christ. He was also made a priest under the old rite in 1961 if that interests anyone. wsCatholic ChurchFri Jul 5, 2019 - 1:42 pm EST Cdl. Zen warns Pope Francis that Vatican directives for China church may lead to ‘death of true faith’ HONG KONG, July 5, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – The Bishop Emeritus of Hong Kong has spoken out forcefully against the Vatican’s newest “pastoral document” for the Chinese Church which gives reasons for why priests should register with the communist government. Cardinal Joseph Zen presented nine criticisms to Pope Francis and Cardinal Pietro Parolin on a recent trip to Rome, July 1, that outline his concerns about the document. "A text is signed against the faith and it is stated that the intention is to promote the good of the community, a more suitable evangelisation, and the responsible management of Church assets. This general rule is obviously against all fundament[al] moral theology! If valid, [it] would justify even apostasy!" stated the Cardinal in his criticisms which were published on his website today. "This document has radically turned upside what is normal and what is abnormal, what is rightful and what is pitiable. Those who wrote it hope perhaps that the pitied minority will die a natural death. By this minority I mean not only underground priests, but also the many brothers in the official community who have worked with great tenacity to achieve change, hoping for the support of the Holy See," he stated later in his criticism of the pastoral document. Cardinal Zen had been deeply involved in the recent protests that opposed the Chinese State imposition of extradition laws in Hong Kong. Many believe these laws would continue the methodical takeover of the former British colony, now acting as an independent “Special Administrative Region”. His absence, however, was noted in the recent protests. In his statement, issued this morning, His Eminence explained what caused him to remain silent until this week. “On the evening of June 28, I received notice (that) the Holy See (had issued the newest pastoral document for the Church in China). As a bishop and a cardinal, I cannot accept this quietly. I must raise my doubts. It was (for this purpose) that I boarded a plane to Rome on the evening of the 29th.” He continues: “At noon on Sunday (June 30th), I handed a letter to the Pope, to the security guard at Santa Marta dormitory (the Papal Residence) asking the Pope to let me (and the author of the statement) discuss the (document) in front of him. As I had not received a response by 4 pm on Monday, (July 1) I wrote another letter to the private secretary of the Pope, where I also attached my 'dubia'. The secretary confirmed that my initial letter to the Pope had been received.” Cardinal Zen finally received a response from the office of the Secretary of State, the evening of Tuesday, July 2. His Eminence was told by an official that “the Pope said my question could be discussed with the Secretary of State. I said, 'Then it is (lost). I have absolutely no confidence that meeting him (Cardinal Parolin) will have any impact.'" Wednesday evening, however, Cardinal Zen received an invitation by Pope Francis, to have dinner with him and with Cardinal Parolin, Vatican Secretary of State. He writes: “It is impolite to argue at dinner. We spoke (only) about the situation in Hong Kong. As for the pastoral document and my statement, I only mentioned it to the Pope in the last few minutes. The Pope said several times, 'I will pay attention to this matter.' This is the only sentence I (have) brought back to my people. I also handed my 'dubia' to the Secretary of State, who did not say anything at the dinner.” In his criticisms, listed below, Cardinal Zen provides commentary on why, section by section, the newest Sino-Vatican “pastoral document” falls well short of any real pastoral care of the members of Holy Mother Church, in China. "When brothers from China ask me what to do, I have always given the answer: respect the choices of others and to remain firm in the conviction of one’s conscience. This is because I have no authority to impose my views on others about what is right or wrong. But doesn’t the Holy See have the authority and therefore the duty to clarify precisely this to the members of the Church? Are the Pastoral Guidelines doing that?" Zen ends his criticisms with the following exhortation, “May the Lord not allow the fulfilment of the wishes of those who want the death of the true faith in my dear homeland.” The following are the English translation of the nine criticisms presented by Cardinal Joseph Zen of Hong Kong to Pope Francis. The English translation, Italian, and Chinese may be found on his website. LifeSite has reached out to Cardinal Joseph Zen, and will report on any developments or statements from him. *** “Dubia” by Cardinal Zen on the pastoral guidelines of the Holy See concerning the civil registration of the clergy in China First of all I find strange that the document is issued by “The Holy See”, without specifying which Department and no signature of the responsible Officer. In paragraphs 1 and 2 the document explains the problem and the general solution. 1. The problem is that the government has reneged on its promises to respect Catholic doctrine. In the civil registration of the clergy, it almost always requires the clergy to accept the principle of self-governance, self-support, and self-propagation of the Church in China (this could be completed with what the letter from Pope Benedict XVI says in point 7.8: “to adopt attitudes, make gestures and undertake commitments that are contrary to the dictates of their conscience as Catholics.” 2. Faced with this complex situation, which is not always the same everywhere, the Holy See provided a general outline on how to behave: on the one hand, it says it does not intend to force people; hence calling (but omitting to explicitly say “the government”) for respect for the conscience of Catholics. On the other hand, it states as a general principle that “The clandestine condition is not a normal feature of the Church’s life”, that is, it is normal for her to come out of it. With respect [to] the quotation from Pope Benedict XVI’s letter at 8.10, I took the liberty of taking almost the entire paragraph: (a) “Some of them, not wishing to be subjected to undue control exercised over the life of the Church, and eager to maintain total fidelity to the Successor of Peter and to Catholic doctrine, have felt themselves constrained to opt for clandestine consecration.” (b) “The clandestine condition is not a normal feature of the Church’s life,” (c) “and history shows that Pastors and faithful have recourse to it only amid suffering, in the desire to maintain the integrity of their faith,” (d) “and to resist interference from State agencies in matters pertaining intimately to the Church’s life.” Continued
Fr Jeroom Heyndrickx and Card Parolin like to cite only part (b); Pope Francis also adds part (c); but it seems to me that parts (a) and (d) are also important. The paragraph clearly shows that non-normality is not the choice of the underground clergy, the choice is inevitable. It is the situation that is abnormal! Has this situation changed now? 3. The third, long paragraph tries to prove that which is suggested in par. 5. First test: the Constitution which guarantees the religious freedom. What does the long history of persecution tell us, the Constitution notwithstanding? Second test: After the Agreement, “independence” logically should no longer be understood as absolute independence, but … First of all, if I cannot see the text of the Agreement, it is difficult for me to believe that they have really recognised the “particular role of the successor of Peter”. Is there something logical in totalitarian systems? The only logic is that, according to Deng Xiaoping, a white cat is the same as a black cat, as long as it serves the purposes of the Party. In the immediate post-agreement period, nothing has been changed. Everything has been officially restated and the facts prove it. Third test: The context of the “consolidated” dialogue Does the document not acknowledge that the government has reneged on its promises, as noted in both in the first and ninth paragraphs of this document? Fourth test: All bishops are legitimised. This only proves the unlimited generosity of the pope or perhaps the all-powerful pressure of the government, but we see no change on the part of the forgiven and “rewarded”; no sign of repentance; only clear acts of bold triumph, laughing at others who have bet on the losing horse. 4. Paragraph 4 states that the aforementioned reasons justify a new attitude. Here at least there is the honesty of saying that what is proposed is something new, and that it is thus not in continuation with the past, but a denial of the past as something already bygone, something no longer valid. It is also said that the Holy See is trying to agree with the government on a formula (and have it both ways). But our question is: “A formula“? What is being asked and accepted is not the statement of a theory: it is an entire system, a regime in which there will be no pastoral freedom, in which everyone will follow orders of the Party, including minors under 18 banned from taking part in any religious activity. 5. In par. 5 we find the pastoral guidelines proper. In short: It is alright to sign everything the government requires, possibly with a written clarification that denies what is signed. If the written clarification is not possible, let it be done verbally, with or without a witness. As long as there is the intention of conscientiously not accepting what was actually signed. A text is signed against the faith and it is stated that the intention is to promote the good of the community, a more suitable evangelisation, and the responsible management of Church assets. This general rule is obviously against all fundament[al] moral theology! If valid, [it] would justify even apostasy! 6. In par. 6 it is said that the Holy See understands and respects those who, in good conscience, do not accept the aforementioned rule. Obviously, this is compassion towards a “stubborn” minority that still fails to understand the new rule. 7. Par.7 speaks of certain duties that fall on bishops, citing a document that has nothing to do with our issue. 8. In par. 8 it is said that the faithful should accept the decision of their pastors. What does that mean? That they do not have the individual freedom to choose? Mustn’t their conscience be respected? When brothers from China ask me what to do, I have always given the answer: respect the choices of others and to remain firm in the conviction of one’s conscience. This is because I have no authority to impose my views on others about what is right or wrong. But doesn’t the Holy See have the authority and therefore the duty to clarify precisely this to the members of the Church? Are the Pastoral Guidelines doing that? 9. In par. 9 it is said that in the meantime the Holy See asks (and omits again the word “the government”) that unofficial Catholic communities not be placed under undue pressures, like in the past. The decision not to use the word “government” is almost like the traditional reverence in not mentioning the name of the emperor. Finally, it is recommended that everyone discern God’s will with patience and humility. I wonder though: did the steadfastness of the faith get lost somewhere? Then it says that “the journey of the Church in China, [is] marked, …, by much hope in spite of enduring difficulties”. It seems to me instead, that the facts have destroyed every foundation of human hope. As for hope in God, it can never be separated from the sincere desire to suffer in accordance with His will. This document has radically turned upside what is normal and what is abnormal, what is rightful and what is pitiable. Those who wrote it hope perhaps that the pitied minority will die a natural death. By this minority I mean not only underground priests, but also the many brothers in the official community who have worked with great tenacity to achieve change, hoping for the support of the Holy See. May the Lord not allow the fulfilment of the wishes of those who want the death of the true faith in my dear homeland.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen to be beatified By Courtney Grogan Vatican City, Jul 6, 2019 / 04:00 am (CNA).- Pope Francis approved the miracle attributed to Archbishop Fulton Sheen Friday, making possible the American television catechist's beatification. The Vatican Congregation for the Causes of Saints promulgated the decree approving Sheen’s miracle on July 6. The miracle involves the unexplained recovery of James Fulton Engstrom, a boy born apparently stillborn in September 2010 to Bonnie and Travis Engstrom of the Peoria-area town of Goodfield. He showed no signs of life as medical professionals tried to revive him. The child’s mother and father prayed to Archbishop Sheen to heal their son. A seven-member panel of medical experts advising the Vatican Congregation for the Causes of Saints gave unanimous approval of the miracle attributed to the famous television personality and evangelist in March 2014.

CA, now D.C., ....... should NY be concerned? Flood the Swamp: D.C. Gets Pelted By Furious Rainstorm and the Videos are Just Bonkers It’s an extremely rainy Monday in Washington D.C., and commuters are reporting that the water levels have gotten so intense that multiple stops on the Metro rail are getting flooded at an alarming rate. The National Weather Service declared a flash flood alert earlier today for the capital and the surrounding areas of Arlington and Alexandria in Virginia. Emergency situations have reportedly broken out on the Metro lines, plus the weather service has also announced that its already having a considerable impact on public transportation.

etoa, We had our somewhat strange weather a week ago yesterday, it was quick and deadly. I hope that were done for awhile. Some people thought it was a tornado, that happens here but very rarely and small, thank God. The winds were bad in my area and I thought that it was hail but I think it was just huge raindrops by us. Other areas had hail, bad flooding, downed tree and power outages. 2 Dead, Thousands Without Power After Storms Tear Through Tri-State Syndicated Local – CBS New York 7/1/2019 https://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/t...fter-storms-tear-through-tri-state/ar-AADGQYc © Provided by CBS Local, a division of CBS Radio Inc COMMACK, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) – Deadly storms powered through the Tr-State Area on Sunday, downing trees and leaving thousands in the dark this morning. At least two people were killed when the storms swept through the area – one on Fire Island and another in Connecticut. Parts of Suffolk County, Long Island saw the worst damage. Utility crews have been working throughout the night to restore power. Hail bore down, winds gust up to 50 miles an hour, trees toppled onto homes and a utility pole crashed into a car. Near Hallock Beach in Miller Place, beach goers were caught in the downpour as the fast-moving storms interrupted what was a beautiful Sunday afternoon. “I heard a loud bang. I was like, ‘boom!’ Everyone was saying it’s a tornado, but I don’t think it was,” one man said. In Northport, it was a dangerous scene as cars got caught in flash flooding. At Seaview Marina on Fire Island, a woman drowned during the storm. Police in Fairfield, Conn. said a downed tree also killed a man who was in his car. The bad weather only lasted about 15 minutes but still leave devastation in its path. “We’ve been here 55 years and we’ve never seen a storm this way,” said Commack resident Rochelle Masters. Widespread power outages impacted tens of thousands of residents on a hot and humid day. Many had no electricity through the night. “About one minute into the storm, everything went out,” one resident said. “I have a generator. I’ve never used it before. So now I started it up, it’s running, just periodically. That, and candles,” said Alan Bryan. As of 5:30 a.m., PSEG Long Island said 23,834 customers still did not have power. *** This next article states that a much higher number of power outages occurred and a few continued thru Wednesday. PSEG says electricity restored to Long Island customers after Sunday's storm Electricity has been restored to PSEG Long Island customers ... PSEG said. Power was restored first to critical ... Just over 96,000 PSEG Long Island customers lost power in the pop-up storm that struck central and western Suffolk, and just under 100 had remained early Wednesday morning. All since have had their power restored, PSEG said. “The damage was significant,” PSEG Long Island president and chief operating officer Daniel Eichhorn said. “There were major trees down. Every job was time-consuming.” ... Some 846 downed trees led to most of the damage, and 185 utility poles were replaced. There were 405 blown fuses, and 291 damaged transformers replaced, PSEG said. [And the storm was said to last only 15 mintues.]
And people wonder if an implanted chip will be able to realy messages of control and force even actions? Already generations have been molded to feel insecure without their various forms of "smart" phones. The usual social interaction, even just polite interchanges with, say, the elderly, or newly introduced persons is already left wanting....or the art of give and take conversation is experiencing cluelessness. It would seem that anyone with an understanding of defective human nature would get what some "genius" discusses in such articles as this, but then, if your education has neglected the Truths of Revelation and from the Creator you're rather dependent upon just your own limited thinking. Yuval Noah Harari: Humans are on the verge of merging with machines ......... At his keynote address at the Fast Company European Innovation Festival at the Gucci Hub in Milan, Harari described a vision of the future where humans and machines become one. While that seems like the plot of a sci-fi movie, Harari says it’s a reality that is not so far away. Technology companies–from Apple to Facebook to Google–have created smartphones and an online reality where we already spend most of our time. “It’s increasingly hard to tell where I end and where the computer begins,” Harari says. “In the future, it is likely that the smartphone will not be separated from you at all. It may be embedded in your body or brain, constantly scanning your biometric data and your emotions.” WELCOME TO POST-HUMANITY If we are able to somehow merge these technologies with the human body–through chips in our brains or bodies–Harari says this would be the biggest revolution in all of human history. Throughout our existence as a species, we have always been able to manipulate our environment and create tools that make our lives better. But until now, we haven’t been able to manipulate ourselves. ............ Harari is in regular talks with technologists. (He recently had a discussion in a public forum with Mark Zuckerberg, for instance.) He is concerned that many technological experts are more familiar with the technology than with the other aspects of the human experience. He urges them to think more holistically about how these technologies may be changing humans themselves. For instance, many platforms today–from Facebook to Google–are designed to “capture and hijack human attention,” Harari says. “This is the basis of their business model. [It is hard for them] to now say this is a bad idea. What will their shareholders think about that? With the best intentions, they are now captivated by the machines they have created. They are trapped.” https://www.fastcompany.com/9037362...ans-are-on-the-verge-of-merging-with-machines
So are these signs that God has been very merciful towards us for a very long time when nature itself has not punished as was naturally/scientifically expected....but now we should see that such Mercy could be ending due to the response being growing sin instead of conversion? Focus Of Concern Shifts To West Coast Volcanoes California’s uncanny “earthquake pause” is over. It should have already had several “big ones” by now. All that pressure has to go somewhere. Now geologists are nervously eyeing eight nearby volcanoes. And why has Yellowstone supervolcano been acting so weird? The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has warned Southern California to expect more big earthquakes to come. Some, they say, may even be more powerful than those experienced in the past few days. “(These quakes do) not make (the Big One) less likely,” local seismologist Lucy Jones told The Los Angeles Times. “There is about a one in 20 chance that this location will be having an even bigger earthquake in the next few days, that we have not yet seen the biggest earthquake of the sequence.” In part, that’s because California is way overdue for “the Big One.” The past century has been abnormally quiet in terms of large, ground-rupturing earthquakes. The last “Big One” was in 1906 when a force 7.9 earthquake realigned the real estate of San Francisco. And U.S. geologists are beginning to suspect this is not just a lucky roll of the dice. Something deep under California appears to be changing. And its implications are yet to be understood. OMINOUS SILENCE The past week’s earthquakes are the most significant experienced by Southern California since 1999. Then, a 7.1 magnitude event tore through the remote Mojave Desert. It was an isolated event. And it wasn’t a surface quake, either. “We’re unusually quiet,” co-author of a recent study, The Current Unlikely Earthquake Hiatus, Glenn Biasi, told Live Science in April. “The biggest faults and the faults carrying most of the slip have not ponied up.” Something has broken the geological pattern. The USGS has carefully scoured California’s terrain for evidence of past earthquakes. They know how many lives could potentially be at stake. And forewarned is forearmed. They’ve assembled seismic records dating back some 1,000 years at 12 key sites along the Golden State’s major fault lines — the extensive San Andreas Fault, the Hayward Fault and the San Jacinto Fault. That data reveals the odds of all three faults being quiet for 100 years is next to none. Instead, the USGS study says California should have expected about six “Big Ones”. “We do not think it’s happened in the previous thousand years,” Mr. Biasi said. The quake “hiatus” remains a mystery. Speculation that the faults had merely vented much of their pent-up tension in an unusually active 1800s remains that — speculation. Another possibility remains: That there is something even deeper, something so big that it is causing the activity of the state’s five major fault lines to “synchronize.” EXPLOSIVE IMPLICATIONS “The potential for damaging earthquakes, landslides, floods, tsunamis and wildfires is widely recognized in California,” another recent USGS report reads. “The same cannot be said for volcanic eruptions, even though they occur in the state about as frequently as the largest earthquakes on the San Andreas Fault.” Of the state’s eight volcanoes, seven have been found to sit above “active” magma chambers. Disturbingly, it finds some 200,000 people are classified as “at-risk” if an eruption was to occur. And it argues there is a 16 percent chance of such an event within the next 30 years. Like the fault-line studies, geologists have pulled clues from California’s landscape to determine volcanic activity over the past 5,000 years. It’s found five volcanoes – Mount Shasta, Medicine Lake, Lassen, Long Valley and Salton Buttes – have erupted during the past 3000 years. Clear Lake Volcanic Field near San Francisco – while rated as potentially of very high risk – hasn’t blown for longer. The trick is in predicting when the next eruption is likely to occur. It’s an inexact science. But there are clues. GPS sensors and satellite radars are used to measure deformations in the volcanoes’ surfaces. Seismometers detect subterranean movements. Gas emissions are regularly tested for changes in content. So far, all eight remain quiet. CORE ISSUE The Earth’s molten heart is always on the move. Movements deep beneath the crust are believed to be behind the North Pole’s shifting magnetic field. There’s a magnetic “anomaly” in the South Atlantic that’s even giving some satellites headaches. The geysers at Yellowstone National Park – which sits above the world’s biggest “supervolcano” – have been acting erratically. Is there any link? Seismologists say there is simply no evidence to support this. And a surface quake in California won’t have any impact on Yellowstone, some 1,000 km away. But speculation remains rife: Social media is awash with supervolcano talk. So what do the experts think? The USGS unit specifically tasked with monitoring the famous geysers and the monster that lurks beneath has been baffled by shifting patterns in normally regular geyser eruptions. When it comes to the activity of the enormous magma chamber far beneath, though, little has changed. Instead, changes in a “crystal mush” within the Yellowstone chamber itself are believed to be distorting the hydrothermal channels feeding the park’s biggest attractions. And, while Yellowstone supervolcano’s last eruption was an earth-shattering event, it’s not due to blow again for several hundreds of thousands of years. https://www.foxnews.com/science/supervolcano-fears-big-one-is-coming

While a number of asteroids - classed as Near Earth Objects (NEOs) - pass the Earth on a regular basis, these two will make an exceptionally close flyby. On Tuesday, an object dubbed 2019 MB4 will pass at just 315 000km from Earth, a closer distance than the moon, which averages 385 000km away from the planet. This asteroid is estimated to be 22m long - around half the length of an Airbus A380-800 - the biggest passenger plane in the world. NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory data revealed that 2019 NN3 will pass Earth on Wednesday at a distance of just 320 000km. That asteroid is estimated to be between 35m to 77m in length. Asteroid 2019 MB4 is travelling at 7.1km/s (or 25 560km/h) while 2019 NN3 is travelling at 8.84km/s (31 824km/h). A typical rifle bullet travels at about 750m/s (2 700km/h). Finding asteroids is difficult because they travel fast against the blackness of space, making it difficult for instruments to detect. Asteroid 2019 MB4 was only discovered on June 29 while 2019 NN3 was first observed on May 31. *** SATELLITE IMAGE OF EPICENTER OF MAGNITUDE 7.1 EARTHQUAKE BEFORE THE EARTHQUAKE: SATELLITE IMAGE OF EPICENTER OF MAGNITUDE 7.1 EARTHQUAKE AFTER THE EARTHQUAKE: https://twitter.com/Will4Planet Coso volcano (California, USA (mainland exept Alaska)) activity update: Strong earthquake swarm- no cause for concern [Yet] Saturday Jul 06, 2019 19:29 PM | BY: MJFLEGEND | https://www.volcanodiscovery.com/co...pdate-Strong-earthquake-swarm-no-cause-f.html The M7.1 earthquake has also triggered an earthquake swarm at the southern end of the volcanic field, with around 30 earthquakes per hour.

Linda Sarsour gets backlash for 'Jesus was Palestinian' tweet By Caleb Parke | Fox News | July 9, 2019 | https://www.foxnews.com/us/twitter-jesus-palestine-linda-sarsour-hate Democrats' ties to Linda Sarsour raise questions [Explains that George Soros also funds Linda Sarsour's organizations.] Activist Asra Nomani speaks out Controversial left-wing activist Linda Sarsour is under fire for claiming "Jesus was Palestinian." The Brooklyn-born Muslim Women's March co-founder claims she is a victim of "hate" after a 24-hour Twitter debate this weekend on the roots of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. “Jesus was Palestinian of Nazareth and is described in the Quran as being brown copper skinned with wooly hair,” the anti-Israel political activist tweeted on Saturday. Sarsour has lauded Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan, objected to the Jewish right to return to Israel, and even called for "jihad" against President Trump. But this time she argued Jesus is both Jewish and Palestinian, saying Palestinian is a nationality and Judaism is a religion. “Palestinian is a nationality not a religion. Your point is not negated. Jews lived with Palestinians in peaceful co-existence before there was a state of Israel,” she tweeted. LAURA INGRAHAM: LINDA SARSOUR, MARC LAMONT HILL AND ANTI-SEMITISM HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT Sarsour switched from insisting Jesus is from Nazareth, which is currently in Israeli territory, to reminding her followers he was born in Bethlehem, which is part of the Palestinian Authority. “Why so upset by the truth. Jesus was born in Bethlehem aka بيت لحم in Arabic. Bethlehem is in Palestine. It’s currently militarily occupied by Israel and home to a predominately beautiful Palestinian Christian community. Yes, the birthplace of Jesus is under military occupation.” Her followers pointed out that Palestine as a concept didn't exist until over a century after Jesus was born in Bethlehem and grew up in Nazareth, both of which were on land called Judea. But Sarsour countered that "multiple truths can co-exist." Eventually, she had enough "Jesus talk" and was saved by the Women's World Cup game Sunday morning. ISRAEL UNVEILS ANCIENT ROAD ‘WHERE JESUS WALKED’ TO TEMPLE "There is no reason to repackage Jesus as Palestinian. He can be a historical figure from Bethlehem or Nazareth without being 'Palestinian,'" Jerusalem Post's Seth Frantzman wrote Sunday. "Sarsour’s attempt to reference the Quran is interesting because she seems to not mention other aspects of how Jesus is described in Islamic theology," Frantzman added. "For instance, he is seen as a messenger to the ‘Children of Israel’ and an adherent of the laws of Moses. He is linked to the line of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and the Tribes of Israel, as well as kings David and Solomon.”

Willing minions of Satan w/ power to do his dirty work: Mark Zuckerberg Brags: We Didn't Allow Pro-Life Groups to Advertise Before Ireland's Abortion Vote During this year's Aspen Ideas Festival, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg explained that Facebook is increasingly trying to work with governments to determine what political speech it does and does not allow. Oh sorry, I mean: what kind of political ads it is willing to approve. In the particular example Zuckerberg cited, in 2018, American pro-life groups wanted to run advertisements for Facebook users in Ireland. This is because the Irish were about to vote in a referendum on whether abortion should be legalized. When Facebook saw the ad requests, the company contacted the Irish government asking whether this should or should not be allowed. "Their response at the time was, 'we don't currently have a law, so you need to make whatever decision you want to make.'" In other words, Facebook could do as it pleased. There was no legal reason to disallow the ads. But what did Facebook do? You guessed it: "We ended up not allowing the ads." This is extremely disturbing, but it's very expected. Facebook's top managers have a long history of leftist activism, and it's clear from the company's policies that they're pushing their authoritarian leftist views on the company itself. As abortion activist Lila Rose explains on Twitter, for example, "FB COO Sheryl Sandberg donated $2 million to Planned Parenthood." This is Facebook's real face. They ask a government whether they should ban a specific case of conservative speech, and do so, even when they're told there's is absolutely no law on the book calling on Facebook to take action. Facebook has truly become a force for authoritarian progressivism -- and it's downright frightening. https://pjmedia.com/trending/mark-z...s-to-advertise-before-irelands-abortion-vote/
Very Frightrning. For their souls!!! As a very holy woman once told me "pray for them! It is a terrible thi ng to fall into the Hands of the Living God."
Yes, all of these "recent" natural disasters seem to follow quickly behind one another and with greater and greater force, costing over and over again in the billions of dollars. And this seems to fulfill the prophecies, one being that of Therese Neumann, that America will be brought down economically via natural disasters. Another force for our President to contend with....beyond the daily human haters/traitors who want to hand over the country to its mortal enemies on a silver platter.
There's lots of shaking going on too.

Well it's hard to Second Guess God but Ill have a go at it anyway. If I were God and my children went kinda crazy and disobedient how would I steer them back on the right path? Well since I love them I would want to do it firmly but in a kind of way loving and gentle enough , but firm enough that get's the job done. It seems to men that physical changes are as good as way as any. Did God do this in the past. Well...looking at the Old Testament certainly it seems that this was one of His main ways. We need only look to Noah's Flood , Sodom and Gomorrah and the twelve Plagues of Egypt. In fact we see He has four main weapons...in the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, in which disasters figure very prominently. Clearly our understanding of Marian Apparitions and recent statements of Popes show us we have moved into events well into the Apocalypse.
