After the Vatican Directives, What's Next in the Diocese of Arlington for the Latin Mass? And so it begins. My bishop, Michael Burbidge, Bishop of Arlington, spoke about the Vatican directive that came out last weekend in his 12/20 podcast, a portion of which I've transcribed below. The bishop won't be issuing his own implementation document until the new year, but it's pretty clear that it will be bad news for those of us who attend the "extraordinary form" at diocesan parishes, even if only occasionally. The Latin Mass (TLM) will not be totally suppressed in the Diocese of...

In the next legislative session beginning January 5th, 2022, the New York Senate and Assembly could vote on a bill that would grant permissions to remove and detain cases, contacts, carriers, or anyone suspected of presenting a “significant threat to public health” and remove them from public life on an indefinite basis. Bill A416 presents a serious risk to the basic liberties of all Americans in the state of New York, including their right to choose whether or not to receive medical treatment and vaccinations related to thus far undetermined contagious diseases. The bill gives the Governor of New York,...

A new report from the Rockefeller Foundation called “Reset the Table” (sound familiar?) calls for a total centralization of the global food supply in order to solve the “hunger and nutrition crisis.” The Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) plandemic increased hunger in children by more than 500 percent, the report alleges. And the only way to solve it is for food to be communized and controlled entirely by a global central government. Dr. Rajiv J. Shah, the foundation’s president, admits in the opener that calls to globalize the world’s food systems is “not new.” Globalists have been pushing for it for many...

The Health Ranger Mike Adams told Brannon Howse about the global effort to achieve depopulation during a recent episode of “Brannon Howse Live.” A published scientist who owns a multimillion laboratory, Adams explained that Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccines contain aluminum, which has toxic effects on neurology, fertility and other physiological functions. Adams shared that many years ago, he was labelled as conspiracy theorist for talking about fraud in the vaccine industry. He finds it interesting that even mainstream conservative media like Breitbart and Daily Caller have awakened to the truth about how vaccines are being weaponized against humanity and why...

A video posted last week showing how a microchip can be implanted containing a person’s COVID-19 vaccine status is causing speculation whether it is a precursor to the “mark of the beast” written about in the Bible’s book of Revelation. The Apostle John wrote prophetically that an evil beast would arise during the end times who would deceive many and seize control of much of the earth. John was likely referencing a beast-like person, comparable perhaps to Adolf Hitler. This beast will cause “both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the...

Roughly 4 out of 10 Britons — 39 percent — think Santa Claus can be gay, according to a YouGov poll released the day before Christmas Eve. The results come after the Norwegian postal service released an annual Christmas video featuring Santa Claus falling in love with another man to mark the 50th anniversary of Norway’s decriminalization of homosexuality. The video, entitled “When Harry Met Santa,” is a four-minute short film in which the main character interacts with Santa Claus several times, before writing him a letter stating: “Dear Santa, All I want for Christmas is you.”

Florida is an oasis of freedom. It's why everyone is sprinting down there. It's also a state the liberal media hates. They hate it because Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis owns them. At every turn and every corner, they've tried to attack him to no avail. He's just too good. How many haymakers has DeSantis blocked? The Left sees him as a threat. He is—DeSantis unites the Trump and Trump-skeptic wings. So, while Ron DeSantis is blamed for the COVID pandemic, he's moving along making the state the best it can be. It wasn't too long ago that the Sunshine State...

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said on Wednesday that coronavirus “vaccines are saving lives” and “are reducing mortality.” “If you are vaccinated, fully vaccinated, the chances of you getting seriously ill or dying from Covid is effectively zero,” he said. “If you look at the people being admitted to hospitals, over 95 percent of them are either not fully vaccinated or not vaccinated. And so these vaccines are saving lives.” DeSantis also touted the vaccines for reducing mortality rates. “They are reducing mortality. Mortality in nursing homes since we rolled out the vaccines in December is down 95 percent due...

New studies showing the Omicron coronavirus variant may be up to 70 percent less likely to lead to hospitalisation offer a “glimmer of Christmas hope,” a senior UK health official has said. But UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) Chief Executive Dr. Jenny Harries refused to retract her earlier statement that Omicron could be the most serious threat the UK has faced during the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus pandemic. According to preliminary findings published by her own agency on Thursday, someone with Omicron is estimated to be as much as 45 percent less likely to attend the emergency department compared...

Omicron is causing major disruptions in the economy and among the personal lives of Americans but it's mostly for nothing. You're 80% less likely to be hospitalized with omicron compared to the delta strain. Masks are generally ineffective against COVID and even less effective against omicron. Yet what is the death toll from omicron? So far only one person is alleged to have died from omicron. Not true. Public officials and media reported that a man in Texas became the first American to die from the Omicron variant. I checked with the Harris County Public Health Department. Turns out that's...

Four people were wounded when gunfire erupted at a Chicago-area mall, sending frightened last-minute holiday shoppers and employees scurrying for cover. Two gunmen opened fire on each other at about 5:45 p.m. Thursday in a corridor at Oakbrook Center in Oak Brook. One of the suspects, who was not immediately identified, was wounded and taken into custody, while cops were still searching for the second shooter, the Chicago Tribune reported.

The End of History and the Last MassBut one in the council rising up, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, respected by all the people, commanded the [apostles] to be put forth a little while. And he said to them: Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what you intend to do, as touching these men … And now, therefore, I say to you, refrain from these men, and let them alone; for if this council or this work be of men, it will come to naught; But if it be of God, you cannot overthrow...

George Washington knelt in prayer at McKonkey's Ferry, asking the Lord for the right words to inspire his troops to keep going, before he crossed the Delaware River for a surprise attack on the British. "We must remember, mankind allows that all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the community, are equally entitled to the protections of civil government." – George Washington The greatest Christmas gift the world received was the night of our savior's birth. And its greatest gift to world freedom came on Christmas Eve, 1776, on the banks of the Delaware River – America. The...

Nurse Collette Martin delivered jaw-dropping testimony during a hearing in Louisiana earlier this month regarding “terrifying” adverse events from the coronavirus vaccines, the complete lack of reporting, and failures of Centers for Disease Control (CDC)-approved Covid treatment protocols in hospitals.Martin also stated that she is “extremely concerned with the idea of mandating this vaccine for our children.”‘Terrifying’ Adverse Reactions are ‘Being Ignored’The long-time registered nurse said in part that “[T]he reactions [from the Covid vaccines] we’re seeing in the hospital with adults are terrifying and being ignored.” Some examples of “post-vaccine reactions” are “blood clots, heart attacks, strokes, encephalopathy, heart...

A new Politico/ Morning consult poll finds a dismal 21% strongly approve of President Biden’s job performance. Meanwhile, a much larger 40% strongly DISAPPROVE of Biden’s performance. Biden claimed earlier this month that his horrific approval rating is because Americans are getting “inaccurate information” about “their situation” and are “being told that Armageddon’s on the way.” During a recent segment of “The View” exploring why Biden’s message is not getting across, co-host Joy Behar argued the media is to blame for not portraying Biden as a winner.

Then the king of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be my camp. And the man of God sent unto the king of Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass not such a place; for thither the Syrians are come down. And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of, and saved himself there, not once nor twice. Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was sore troubled for this thing; and he called his servants, and...

South Africa will no longer impose COVID-19 quarantines and stop most contact tracing — now that as much as 80 percent of the country has gained immunity from previous infections, health officials said. Director General of Health Dr. Sandile Buthelezi announced Thursday in a release that the country will change its strategy to focus on mitigation efforts, the South African reported.

The following article was authored and submitted to RAIR Foundation USA by New Hampshire State Representative Jim KofaltThe New Hampshire Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF) recently made some waves in our state when they attempted to remove two children from their home after learning that the father had administered Ivermectin to his teenage boy a few days earlier.The facts of the case paint a disturbing picture of authorities who simply don’t respect their limits. There was clearly no ill intent and no meaningful risk to the child. Ivermectin is a safe FDA-approved medication with relatively minor potential side...
