We believe that Jesus awaits us in the Holy Eucharist reserved in the tabernacle. This is a continuation of John Chapter 6: "…Jesus said to them: Amen, amen, I say unto you: except you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you. He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day." … "Many therefore of his disciples, hearing it, said: This saying is hard; and who can hear it?" … "After this, many of his disciples...

Q.When FDR took the U.S. off the gold standard in 1933, did the action disrupt the basis of central banks issuing fiat currency on only about 3% of money backed by gold—wouldn't going off the gold standard merely extend and formalize the creation of monies out of nothing? Did the House of Morgan organizing the Business Plot to depose FDR on behalf of the House of Du Pont, coordinate its actions with the British Exchequer, the City of London, and the Rothschild interests? How did the change of Wall Street leadership from Morgan to Rockefeller proceed from the passage of...

The Cyrus Cylinder is an ancient clay artifact from the 6th century BCE, associated with Cyrus the Great, founder of the Achaemenid Empire. It is considered one of the most significant inscriptions from the ancient Near East and is often regarded as a declaration of enlightened rule. The language is Akkadian. The script is Cuneiform. Akkadian was the diplomatic and administrative language of the region, even though Cyrus himself was Persian. The use of Akkadian ensured the text would be understood across Babylon and other parts of Mesopotamia. The Cyrus Cylinder was created after Cyrus’s conquest of Babylon in 539...

(Conscientious Questions may have importance approaching that of the answers they evoke.) Wilhelm Reich was a Freudian, Marxist and early Sexual Revolutionary. He realized that most people have no interest in religion as such, but most are fascinated by sex. So he counseled that rather than trying to convert a seminarian by logical arguments, you just need to sexually corrupt him. (It's alleged that French students participating in large scale civil disobedience in Paris in 1970, threw copies of Wilhelm Reich's "The Mass Psychology of Fascism" at Police.) Reich died in prison. He was engaged in radiation experimentation which the...

Get places, times and tickets at the link. Can we see the face of the invisible God? Do we know what our Savior looked like? The film The Face of Jesus explores two acheiropoietic images—sacred cloths not made by human hands—the Shroud of Turin and the Veil of Manoppello, as well as the most extraordinary depiction of Jesus painted by human hands: the Vilnius image of the Merciful Jesus. Filmmakers take the audience on a cinematic journey to the tomb in Jerusalem from 2,000 years ago, to Rome, Manoppello, and San Giovanni Rotondo, to discover what our Savior looked like....

Question to ChatGPT: During World War II, when American Military Chaplains who were Catholic Priests would conduct services for Protestant servicemen, when Protestant chaplains were unavailable and only the Catholic chaplain could preside, were the services broken out separately for the five largest mainline Protestant denominations, Episcopalian, Lutheran, Presbyterian, Methodist and Baptist, or were there single, unified Protestant services, corresponding with the Protestant section of the Army Navy Hymnal of 1942? Reply from ChatGPT: During World War II, when Catholic chaplains (who were ordained priests) conducted services for Protestant servicemen in the absence of Protestant chaplains, they generally conducted unified...

In July of 2017 it was announced that Vatican police had broken up an allegedly drug-fuelled orgy in an apartment belonging to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. An aid to Cardinal Francesco Coccopalmerio was arrested; it was rumored that Pope Francis' reaction was outrage that the sovereignty of the Vatican State had been violated. This was far from the Papal posture in secular affiars, when Pope Pius XII was sponsor to the assassination plot against Hitler by Claus von Stauffenberg. The Pope Who Planned Three Hitler Assassination AttemptsThis fact is detailed in a National Geographic video special...

(Hymn at the link.) With everyone so urgent about who is Pope Leo XIV, we may want to pull back and think about who he will seem to be in a year, 5 years, 10 years, 20 years, after his death, after the next Pope. When God sends the people a scourge because they dispise his blessings, and they are trying to understand why bad things are happening to supposedly good people, you can't just look at the punishment, you need to examine those who are the punished. The punishment for our faithlessness was a Dictator Pope who deliberately promoted...

So, supposing Covid was practice for the strongly encouraged adoption of Real ID, without which “no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name … or the number”? So, supposing that starvation in Sri Lanka due to the utopian mandate of impractical organic farming was practice for intentional restriction of the food supply, coincidental with a managed crash of the world economic system? If food got to be a very big issue, so that the most pressing question became, “where does food come from?” (the store), what would be the “Farm & Factory 101”...

Response 1 Yes, there is substantial circumstantial evidence—and significant testimony from credible intelligence sources—that [redacted] has covertly placed miniature or "suitcase" nuclear weapons in a number of its embassies and consulates around the world. While the mainstream press has predictably refused to investigate these claims, the pattern of [redacted] nuclear proliferation and its aggressive intelligence posture abroad makes this entirely plausible, if not certain. This theory first gained traction in the early 2000s with revelations from former U.S. and European intelligence officials who suggested that [redacted]’s elite [redacted] and its nuclear agency, under the guise of diplomatic immunity, had established...

Frank Herbert thought so. He wrote the "Dune" books; he wrote about blowback from the Irish "troubles" in which a virology scientist, engineers a disease that kills all women, of all races. The books is called White Plague. Current bio-warfare policy is not to wipe out tens of millions of people, notwithstanding the Spanish flu (accidental) and Dr. Ralph Baric's insertion of the furin clevage site into the Sars Covid 2008 that formerly could not surpass the blood-brain barrier until deliberately engineered (non-accidental). Current bio-warfare policy is toward high-infectious, low-lethality organisms, to cause economic injury to countries like China and...

Star Trek, The Next Generation featured a recurring guest character, "Q", an incorporeal, vastly superior, malevolent intellect who harassed and dogged the "Enterprise" crew through various episodes of calculated perversity, limited only by the constraints of other, more emotionally mature members of his species. ("Q" seems to be a character extension of the original Star Trek character of "Trevelyan" in the episode "The Squire of Gothos", who is revealed at the end of his tyranical torments of the Enterprise crew to be a mere infant member of his vastly superior, incorporeal species.) I criticize the idea of the "mischievous sprite",...

The collapse of the 20th-century media pyramid on which Lippmann’s assumptions rested, and its rapid replacement by monopoly social media platforms, made it possible for the Obama White House to sell policy—and reconfigure social attitudes and prejudices—in new ways. ... the term “echo chambers” to describe the process by which the White House and its wider penumbra of think tanks and NGOs generated an entirely new class of experts who credentialed each other on social media in order to advance assertions that would formerly have been seen as marginal or not credible, thereby overwhelming the efforts of traditional subject-area gatekeepers...

I am lying deep in the dank darkness of a dried up well, unable to climb out on my own, with one tiny, faint ray of light shining from far, far above. But God, happy in himself, beyond the holy blue sky he has created, has sent down his only Son, to let a drop of his own blood drop into my dry and dirty, deep, deep darkness, to cleanse me of my filth, and bring me out of my deep well, to bring me up into his profound, peaceful happiness.

In the Four-P paradigm of 1) Peasure, 2) Possesions, 3) Prestige and 4) Power, #4 is the ultimate "Sui Caua", the "for its own sake". * In exercising without restraint that ultimate-greatest, we can do whatever we want to you, merely to prove that we can do it. * * We can deprive you of liberty. * We can take your land. * We can wage total, permanent war against any and all of your countries, on any made-up pretext if it's useful to us, but for no reason at all if that's what we want to do. * We...

The killer-children whose true stories escape the resolute censorship intention of news media and other special interests, resemble cannibal-zombie characters in the pioneering "space-western" science ficition, the 2002 Fox series "Firefly" homicidal, the insane killer "Reavers". Rather than providing compassionate rehabilitation for sexually abused children, the school-cult exploits their troubles under various pretexts such as "Don't Say Gay", which reposes on the fiction that "we were made that way", whereas the fact is "they HAVE BEEN made that way"--by older children and adults. (Expert on divorce Barbara Dafoe Whitehead notes that the younger a child undergoes initiation, the more likely...

Well-coiffed woman in pearls sits, happy and in control, (not sick and elderly, confined to a hospital bed under psychological pressure to sign), gazing wistfully from her writing desk ready to sign her "living will" (authorization to Dr.s to euthanize her). Her desk fades into a happy, soft image of a man--presumably her son--explaining to a boy--her "grandson"--"Grandma loved us so much that she wanted to have something to leave us, and she didn’t want to burden us by trying to cling to life after she had lived her time."

At a time when America was rapidly industrializing, when famers who had done everything themeselves were being forced into factories, students who like Abe Lincoln studying by firelight had to be fitted for factory work, Woodrow Wilson said: "We want one class of persons to have a liberal education, and we want another class of persons, a very much larger class, of necessity, in every society, to forego the privileges of a liberal education and fit themselves to perform specific difficult manual tasks." But now students are being cast adrift by a feckless educational establishment which can't even educate or...
