Freeper trolls need to take the RED PILL (red pill in all caps for the FBI) after John "Dog Feces" Brennan, former CIA Director, NWO Pimp and American Traitor, gave a speech to the Council on Foreign Relations. Traitor Brennan delivered a speech to the Council on Foreign Relations during which he clearly confessed in plain English to the use of geoengineering for years around the globe.

Unfortunately, the use...

Not the way to slash property prices in the game. A Monopoly match in Belgium turned into a bloodbath — and not in the figurative board game sense — after a perturbed neighbor confronted the players with a samurai sword. The fracas occurred around 5 a.m. April 2 while a group of four gamers was playing the classic strategy game outside on the sidewalk in Forest, Brussels, per local outlet La Libre. The noise reportedly awoke the neighbors, who came outside brandishing a stick at the rowdy players, who may have been homeless, according to France’s Midi Libre. This resulted...

"Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; "Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. "For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ." Luke, Chapter 17 1 Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come! 2 It were better for him that...

[Catholic Caucus] Francis, Pontiff for Life. But Without a Successor “of His Own”“Still alive,” in his own words, after his latest hospital stay, Jorge Mario Bergoglio is doing all he can to discourage those who are counting on his imminent exit from the stage. But what is happening in the twilight of this pontificate does not at all foreshadow a succession congenial to him.A month before Easter, Francis brought five new cardinals onto the council of nine who are supposed to help him govern the universal Church. All close to him, one more so and another less, and at the...

TUESDAY IN THE OCTAVE OF EASTER John 20:11–18Friends, in today’s Gospel, we find Mary Magdalene weeping by the tomb of the risen Lord. She then sees Jesus and doesn’t recognize him immediately.In a wonderful detail, she thinks he’s the gardener. In the book of Genesis, God, the gardener of Eden, walked with his creatures in easy friendship. Sin, the sundering of the loop of grace, put an end to those intimate associations.Throughout the history of salvation, God had been trying to reestablish friendship. Through the death of Jesus, through that tomb placed right in the garden, he accomplished his goal....

Explanation: Why is Polaris called the North Star? First, Polaris is the nearest bright star toward the north spin axis of the Earth. Therefore, as the Earth turns, stars appear to revolve around Polaris, but Polaris itself always stays in the same northerly direction -- making it the North Star. Since no bright star is near the south spin axis of the Earth, there is currently no bright South Star. Thousands of years ago, Earth's spin axis pointed in a slightly different direction so that Vega was the North Star. Although Polaris is not the brightest star on the sky,...

Russia is ready to introduce electronic military draft papers for the first time in its history in an effort to make it harder for men to avoid being drafted after the lower house of parliament gave its backing to the move. The State Duma, the lower chamber, gave its backing to the necessary legislation in two separate votes. Some lawmakers complained the changes were being rushed through without giving them enough time to scrutinise the changes. -snip- NO SECOND MOBILISATION Peskov dismissed suggestions that the digitalisation plans might spark a further wave of panic and emigration among young male Russians...

Images of the departure show Joe Biden’s sister, Valerie Biden Owens, and Hunter Biden also boarding the flight with the president to Ireland. Both Valerie...

It’s official: America is a Third World country. Don’t let the industrial prowess and atomic weapons fool you. Haiti and Honduras have nothing on the U.S. regarding a legal system that the ruling party hurls like a harpoon at its opponents and holsters on behalf of its friends. Masons should chisel quotation marks around the words in marble above the entrance to the U.S. Supreme Court. Equal Justice Under Law is now purely sarcastic. Consider the radically different treatment afforded 2016’s presidential nominees. Republican Donald Trump is in a heap of trouble, thanks to Democratic Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg....

He slipped his holstered SIG Sauer P320 pistol onto his belt, put on a button-down shirt and leaned across his bed for his wallet.

"I looked down and saw blood." His wife heard the shot from down the hall and screamed. She called an ambulance while Jackson hobbled...

Yesterday, Russian President Vladimir Putin, for the most part, listened to the recommendations of the attending physicians and rested almost all day. In the evening, Putin held a meeting with representatives of the leadership of the power and military blocs in video communication mode, but if the image of the meeting participants was present on the president's monitor, then on the monitors of the meeting participants themselves, the image of the president was absent, only a voice was heard. This format of communication happens in cases of poor health of the president. During the meeting, the president was informed about...

The announcement that came from the White House is spooky in its brevity. It was just one sentence announcing the end of the COVID emergency. The 15 Days announced on March 16, 2020, which implemented the national emergency declared a few days earlier, ended up lasting 1,135 days. What resulted? National ruin. We see it in every aspect of our lives: cultural, economic, educational, public health, familial, community, and trust in institutions. Life expectancy is in free fall, not from COVID but from the fallout of the response. Cities are wrecked. Millions have been professionally and demographically displaced. It’s not...
