From (Ms.) BB @ US

I wanted to share with you this video (1) on You Tube.

When I viewed it, the first thing that came to mind was, what better tool to use to deceive the masses in the falsification of Jesus’ second coming than Project Blue Beam. The “elite” will use fear to convince the world that aliens have invaded our earth, a comet hit the earth and/or falsify the second coming of Jesus. This deception is so profound, why else would Jesus have warned the “elect” not to believe in this deception. Without the Illumination of the Holy Spirit anyone would fall for it.

The following readings from Luke 17:23-30 come to mind:

And He said to the disciples, "The days will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. They will say to you, 'Look there! Look here!'

Do not go away, and do not run after them. For just like the lightning, when it flashes out of one part of the sky, shines to the other part of the sky, so will the Son of Man be in His day.

But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

And just as it happened in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: they were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.

It was the same as happened in the days of Lot: they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building; but on the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.

It will be just the same on the day that the Son of Man is revealed .

May Jesus be Praised for His many warnings!!

(Ms.) BB


A.
Thank you for sharing this with us all.

We could not have illustrated any better the point that we keep bring up over and over again: Without the Illumination of the Holy Spirit anyone would fall for the deceptions in store.

We entreat - no, we beg - the readers to share this information with anyone and everyone, as if it had been sent by God Himself.

Without knowing the project's name, nor who (2) is behind it (agency and/or personnel), miguel de Portugal was well aware of said options/plans, through Divine inspiration, long before 1993 and exposed them - via hundreds of mailings to individuals in key worldwide religious and political positions. The White House received some of those communications which seem to have contributed to the shortening of the duration of the New World Order by ten years (3).

Should anyone be surprised because nothing about this project appears on the mainstream media, consider this: Were there any details or clues of the Manhattan Project in the local or national press while it was underway?

As the Christmas Season is being forced upon consumers (1)... we want to share with our readers how to Fight Fraud. (2)

There are several useful resources for ensuring your online safety.

FTC.gov The Federal Trade Commission's site has lots of fact sheets that tell you what to do you if you've been scammed. Under the Consumer Protection tab, click on "Consumer Information" and then "Shopping for Products & Services." Don't miss the helpful primers on what to do if you're billed for merchandise you never receive and "How to right a wrong."

Safeshopping.org This site is sponsored by the American Bar Association and is packed with advice on safe payment methods, protecting your privacy when you shop, and other need-to-know topics.

OnGuardOnline.gov This site has tips on Internet shopping and is sponsored by government agencies. Quizzes test your knowledge of spyware, online auctions, ID theft, and more.

Antiphishing.org The Anti-Phishing Working Group, an industry-sponsored association, has a tip sheet on how to avoid being scammed. Click on "Consumer Advice", then "How to Avoid Phishing Scams."

Check sellers Before you do business with anyone, go to the Better Business Bureau, at www.bbb.org/us. Grades A to F are based on how long the seller has been in business and how good a job it does resolving complaints. Other sites that are worth a look include SiteJabber.com, Complaints.com, and RipoffReport.com, for its user reviews. Also do a Google search of the site or retailer and the word "complaints."

Do you wonder what... not being a fanatic is? (1) Read on...

A Catholic church in Switzerland is distributing condoms as part of an HIV/AIDS awareness campaign. That is contrary to the official stance of the Vatican, which does not condone the use of condoms under any circumstances.

Florian Flohr, the local church's spokesman, and Jack Valero, the press officer for Opus Dei and a member of Catholic Voices, were interviewed about this situation and you may now listen to the 7+ minute interview/debate (2).

As anyone who is not blind and deaf knows, our position about Opus Dei, in general, could not be more negative. Within the last month or two we have not spoken kindly about statements made by Mr. Valero. However, we believe that he did splendidly in the referred to interview/debate, and we recommend that you listen to it.

This is what not being a fanatic is all about.

When man is not capable to discern between the wheat and the chaff within the same field, he is destined to disaster. We have six thousand years of recorded history to prove it.

           
(1) Fanatics are neither from nor of God
(2) Interview/Debate



also...

...when the servant of a military commander of an occupying force is sick and a citizen of the occupied territory heals him [Luke 7:2-10], that citizen is not a fanatic either; and

...when a member of a discriminated-against group finds a citizen of the discriminating group who has been assaulted and left for dead and helps him [Luke 10: 30-35], that discriminated-against individual is not a fanatic either, but


on the other hand...

Fanatics are...

... those who are as blind as the Temple Masters of Jerusalem who, even though Jesus had resurrected a corrupting corpse at the gates of Jerusalem [John 11], crucified the individual Who had worked such an unprecedented miracle; and

... those who (like the mob that called for the crucifixion of Jesus [John 19:15] because they had beenmanipulated by the Temple Masters) act without thinking when they hear the "buzz words"; and

...those who will not believe even if faced with a startling truth, such as someone rising again from the dead [Luke 16].


and that is why...

...many are called, but few are chosen. [Matthew 20:16]


Did you know that... our brethren of the Jewish faith are now "spinning" the theology of in-vitro fertilization? (1)

As the article reports:

For the last 400 years or so, Catholics have maintained that as soon as fertilization occurs, a full human being has been created. When Drs. Edwards and Steptoe invented IVF, Catholics expanded their doctrine to cover even a zygote (a fertilized egg) in a Petri dish, where there is zero chance of its developing into a baby unless it is implanted into a woman's womb. Catholics have therefore been opposed to IVF because some of the embryos will probably be discarded, ... and that amounts to murder, too.

The Talmud, however, maintains that during the first 40 days of gestation, the embryo is “merely water.” From the 41st day of gestation until birth, the fetus is “like the thigh of its mother.” Only at birth does the fetus become a full-fledged human being.

The truth is that neither tradition is supported fully by modern science. Hormonal studies indicate that fully 75% to 80% of fertilized eggs are miscarried. That should give each of us a renewed appreciation for our very being — after all, we beat four-to-one odds in making it out of the birth canal alive. It also makes it clear that a fertilized egg, even in a woman's womb where it has a chance to develop into a baby, is definitely not a baby upon conception. That is mistaking potentiality for actuality.

The M+G+R Foundation comments: If an atheist would propose such statistical "theo logic", we would not even bat an eye. However, when a believer uses statistics to establish theology, we do have a problem with it. The One Who decides which are the fertilized eggs that will be miscarried - even if the percentage were as high as 99% - is God. Therefore, "statistical theology" simply does not work.

Take note, Paul (2): we do not approve in-vitro fertilization either.

From Paul @ Trade Desk - Last Atlantis Capital Management (0)

Your statement about the Tea Party (see letter by Mark Karlin posted on October 26th (1)) is perfectly cohesive with your pro-choice, pro-gay marriage, pro-stem cell, pro-war, pro-illegal immigration, anti-catholic viewpoints.

May God have mercy on your soul.

Paul

A. Thank you for your kind invocation although we know that it was not meant.

The point of that posting was to illustrate the dangerous evils of fanaticism (2) which your accusations are a confirmation of.

You claim that we are pro-choice: Yet, our position has been clearly stated many times about abortion - Abortion is not justified even if the mother's life is in danger. God is the only Master of Life and Death.

You claim that we are pro-gay marriage: Yet, we continue to insist that marriage is a Biblical institution, thus two individuals of the same gender cannot be united in marriage. In addition, no civil entity can establish a marriage - even if that is what they call it.

You claim that we are pro-stem cell: See our position on abortion. In addition, we hold that the moment the female egg is fertilized, a human exists – accompanied by his/her Guardian Angel.

You claim that we are pro-war: Yet, we do not even agree with the "justified wars" approved by the "Catholic" Administration. Nor do we accept capital punishment. God is the only Master of Life and Death.

You claim that we are pro-illegal immigration: Yet, our position - which is also applicable in any country - is that we would not accept unwanted guests in our homes, thus, logically, illegal immigration is not an option. Legal immigration is, of course, fine as long as when the citizenship is taken: (a) Formal allegiance to the adopted country is a requirement; and (b) Anyone under 50 years of age must become fluent in the adopted country's language.

You claim that we hold anti-catholic viewpoints, yet, we spelled out: what changes were not acceptable by God in the Church (3); that the Catholic Faith contains the greatest amounts of revealed truths that any faith has (4); the enormous importance and impact the Holy Sacraments have (5); that a properly performed Sacramental Union cannot be dissolved under any circumstances (6); the true Petrine Ministry (7); etc., etc.

Now - if your claim that our views are anti-catholic because:

We have proven without a shred of a doubt that the Roman Catholic Church Administration is fully responsible for the carnage of World War II and what followed (and what is yet to come) (8);

We have shown the completely flawed theology of the Opus Dei (9);

We have named Benedict XVI as the AntiChrist (10);

We have accused the Church Administration of repeatedly ignoring (11) the pleas from Heaven and turning each Heavenly Manifestation into just another profit center; and

We have denounced the sexual abuse throughout the four corners of Roman Catholic world; etc. etc.

Then you are still wrong. None of what we have denounced can be dignified as "Catholic"; that would be blasphemy.

We thank you for the opportunity to show our readers who sympathize with the Tea Party movement to be very cautious because not all is what appears on the surface.

It seems that... our Lady of La Salette keeps on "talking".

The man who wants to control population through vaccines - Mr. Gates - has investments in Monsanto (1), the principal developer of GMO (genetically modified seeds). Apart from the health problems associated with GMO products (more sick people, reduces population and at the same time enriches Big Agro (2)), it presents economic problems for the farmers who use them:

Corn, Soy and Cotton, by now, are principally GMO crops. GMO seeds are infertile, requiring farmers to buy new seeds annually for each year’s planting. Monsanto owns the U. S. patents on these GMO seeds. Farmers who have lost their crops due to bad weather or other disasters do not have money to buy more seeds, and lose their land because of indebtedness. (3)

We read at the message of La Salette: "...the earth will produce nothing but bad fruit" (4)

But that is not all She said. In the same breath, She said: "The seasons will be altered, the earth will produce nothing but bad fruit, the stars will lose their regular motion (5), the moon will only reflect a faint reddish glow. Water and fire will give the earth's globe convulsions and terrible earthquakes which will swallow up mountains, cities... Rome will lose the faith and become the seat of the Antichrist. (6)"

[Feast of Sts. Simon and Jude Thaddeus]


From (Mr.) IW @ US

In reference to the letter from Mr. WO published on October 24th (1) about praying to persons who may not actually be real saints... the following memory came up:

Back in 1990 I was taking some additional university courses and desperately needed to pass an exam in order to pass the course. There was no way that I could have passed the test. So I prayed, asking the intercession of St. Thomas Aquinas and the 'Servant of God', Cardinal Terence Cooke.

I passed the exam, though there was no earthly way I could have done this.

Many years later, after some research, I realized to my horror 'what' I prayed to, quite innocently:

1) Without going into a lengthy explanation: Suffice to say that there is evidence to assert that Aquinas was an occultist. His writings are also the basis for much of the worst of Canon Law, the Church's treatment of women, justification for and methodology of the Inquisitions, etc.

2) In 1976, Cardinal Cooke was the honored guest at the national convention of Ancient Accepted Order of Freemasons. In his speech to them, in the Grand Ballroom of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, he spoke of:

"...the desire for greater mutual, fraternal cooperation between the Church and Freemasonry..."

There is also more than adequate evidence that as Archbishop of NY (1968-83) he enabled and knowingly covered up many incidents of clerical sex abuse - including transferring and hiding the guilty, payoffs to victims in return for silence, and threatening victims via both lawyers and Chancery office clerical "trouble maker" handlers.

Without the guidance of the Holy Spirit, indeed anyone can be fooled.

It should be noted that Fr Benedict Groeschel came onto the national stage when Cardinal O'Connor arrived in NYC in early 1984. With the two of them lauding Cooke as a 'saint'. Groeschel claimed to be Cooke's confidant and personal Confessor. He was the initial Postulator for his canonization cause.

(Mr.) IW

A.
Without addressing your allegations about Aquinas and Cooke we will go straight to the heart of the matter, which is truly more important than any man - saint or no saint.

Let us assume that your allegations are solid as rock, then, the question is: "How did you manage to pass the exam which, according to your own words, there was no earthly way you could have done?"

God is the One Who works the miracles, and He certainly does not need anyone's intercession if He desires to grant the request. Let us not forget that God is Truly Sovereign.

With that said: How could God turn down the request of an honest, trusting and needy soul just because he/she may have picked the wrong intercessor(s)?

Don't you or anyone else forget that...

...Ask, and it shall be given you: seek, and you shall find: knock, and it shall be opened to you. For every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.

And which of you, if he ask his father bread, will he give him a stone? or a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? Or if he shall ask an egg, will he reach him a scorpion? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father from heaven give the good Spirit to them that ask him?
[Luke 11:9-13]

The evils of man can't ever soil the Word of God or condition His Mercy.

Thank you for the opportunity to clarify this possible point of contention.

Did you know that... Divine Justice really does not exist?

Just because man has chosen to call the natural and logical reaction to the transgressions of Divine (Spiritual) Laws "Divine Justice" does not "create" it.

If one jumps off the top of a building and badly hurts or kills himself - are we going to call that: "Physical Justice"? Of course not! That individual violated a Physical Law (the law of gravity) and he just suffered the consequences.

On the other hand - what really exists is "Divine Mercy". Divine Mercy (1) (2) mitigates or simply rescinds the consequences of violating Divine (Spiritual) Laws.

We must recognize that, as the result of 1600 years of failed Evangelization, many people are still in the dark - even if they profess some sort of faith.

Anyone who thinks that God will allow upon a soul the full consequences for the transgression of a Divine Law, a Law they were totally ignorant about, needs to pick up the Sacred Scriptures, in one hand, and the Catholic Catechism in the other and, on their knees, as a sign of penance, learn what Christianity is all about.

Remember - Fanaticism (3) has nothing to do with God. Be it Jewish, Christian, or Muslim, or of any other religion, fanaticism is a child of Hell.

From (Mr.) SB @ US

I have just read the October 24th document titled: A Tribulation Summary - Straight to The Chastisement.(1)

I am confused, or ignorant. Pardon me for either.

But when the churches and their administrations fall, where will the faithful find the sacraments, or are they to die as well?

SB

A.
Confused, yes; ignorant, no. However, the confusion is understandable due to the failed Evangelization effort plus the complexity of the matter at hand. Therefore, Thank You! for asking and giving us an opportunity to clarify it further.

The last entry of the referred to document reads:

6. After this short time of worldwide suffering and darkness, there will be the Return in Glory of our Lord, God, and Savior, Jesus Christ. (This will be the True Dawn, and not the False Dawn I have warned about.) Christ will rescue His people, cast Lucifer and his lieutenants into the Abyss, and renew the face of the earth. Although evil seems triumphant now, its dark towers will soon crumble to nothing. Soon, we will see the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Our Lady.

Now, if you review Step No. 17 of the Sequence of Events (2), and we quote:

Step No.17 The return of the Elect to the New Creation. Thus, the fulfillment of the New Covenant as prophesied by Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Daniel. [Jeremiah 31:33-34; Ezekiel 36:26-31; Daniel 9:24, 12:12; Joel 4:17-18; Revelations 21:1-7, 9-27]

...and read the Biblical quotations the picture will become much clearer and your questions will be answered. Should any doubts remain, visit The Creation Time Line (3) from which we quote thus:

God is left with no choice and, once again, allows the destruction of most of humanity. This brings the surviving groups back to almost zero, in numbers and in level of technology . They start rebuilding just as those, symbolized by the Noah story, had to do. This group composes the "Fifth Cut" of the Elect.

This time satan is locked up; the remnant can rebuild in accordance with God's plan, and without satan's interference. In about one thousand years, satan is briefly released so that he can once again tempt all who populate the Earth then. This time, most of the living will choose Godly ways. God will be finally glorified by most of humanity and God brings Creation to a close on or about the year 2832 AD.


Now, hold on to your Faith, grab your Rosary, sit back and enjoy the ride.

You may think: "These people must be mad - enjoy the ride - they say? Enjoy what? The chastisement? Insanity!"

Not so, not so! Unless God intervenes and the chastisement, that we brought upon ourselves, is not unleashed upon humanity there would not be any hope for humanity. None! We would completely and totally destroy ourselves.

So, you see, the reality of the chastisement, painful as it will be, is indeed "Good News".

Once again, Thank You! for this opportunity.

Rejoice! We have been deemed so important that a denial-of-service-attack (1) was launched against our main Site.

If the work being done were not so disruptive to the forces of evil, why would they bother trying to block the access to our pages?

             
(1) A denial-of-service attack is an attempt to make a computer resource unavailable to its intended users. It generally consists of the concerted efforts of a person or people to prevent an Internet site or service from functioning efficiently or at all, temporarily or indefinitely.

By the way..., the latest Wikileak escapade seems to have "done the trick". What has stayed in the collective mind of the world is:

(a) Iran has been actively interfering in Iraq, thus causing major instability for the country.
(b) The situation in Iraq is so fragile (thanks to Iran!) that the moment the US pulls out completely major (and dangerous to the Free World) chaos will ensue.

Obviously then, the only "just and good and plausible" solution to this nagging problem is the annihilation of Iran while the "saved" people of the world cheer on. We will then rule our Eastern Empire (the whole of the Middle East) from our Embassy in Baghdad which, if you recall, was built to be the biggest in the world.

For some reason, this brings to mind the Western and Eastern Empires of antiquity: Rome and Constantinople.

and...

...before any other news station had reported on the leak, Al Jazeera was presenting a full blown multimedia analysis - with charts, graphs, etc. - of the contents of the leak. Obviously they had the information long before anyone else did so that everyone one else just echoed their findings.

(Mr.) IW @ US

In reference to your post of October 25th - I had no idea that souls in Purgatory could intercede for us, or that we could (or should) ask for their intercession.

Being raised Protestant left some gaps in my knowledge, it seems.

IW

A.
As we have stated many times - the Catholic Faith is the faith that contains the most revealed Truths (1) and this interaction with the souls in Purgatory is one of them.

This is the reason why we must try to settle all of our accounts with God while still in the flesh because, once in Purgatory, the soul becomes dependent on the charity of those still in the flesh to reduce the length of their stay in Purgatory... and you know what that means!

Knowing how "charitable" humans are, our loving Mother, by means of the Scapular, afforded us the Sabbatine Priviledges (2) which allow us pre-settle accounts with God before departing to Purgatory ensuring a brief stay there. Conditions do apply! (2)

Of course, we should pray for the souls in Purgatory not so that they pray for us, but as an act of charity. To assist us, God has given us the opportunity to shower upon them great benefits as we secure plenary indulgences for them starting on November 1st through November 8th. (3)

Initially m de P did not request the intercession from the souls of Purgatory since he wanted to make sure that he was assisting them as an act of charity and not to get something in return. Then, one day, "someone" explained to him that by not requesting their intercessions he was depriving them from the only way they could express their gratitude for continuously being remembered by him. This is how one can become selfish by trying to be "too good".

Therefore, on occasion m de P seeks their assistance. Nonetheless, he must admit that it is so infrequent that he still is shortchanging those poor souls who want to express their gratitude.

Lesson: We can take something good and be selfish as a side effect.

We cannot stress this enough:

Team up with the souls in Purgatory and change your world!
Love them out of Purgatory straight into Heaven!

From Mark Karlin @ Editor - BuzzFlash at Truthout (1)

"If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal." - Corinthians 13:1

Why is it that so many men and women who believe themselves disciples of Christianity are so errant in the very faith that they profess? Why have so many died - and suffered - at the hands of evangelists for Christianity because they would not convert or were thought heretics?

The Tea Party followers and Republican fundamentalists are "resounding gongs and clanging cymbals" because they have replaced the inclusion that comes of love for humanity with the hate of exclusionary religious vanity and a restrictive personal vision of a God.

An Islamic fundamentalist and a Christian fundamentalist share the same power of hate that betrays "the tongues of men (women) and of angels." It is the error of pride and the easy, lazy path of feeling redeemed by feeling chosen - and others being damned. It is couch-potato religion because it requires no responsibility other than to hate other humans who choose a different route through the perilous path of life.

Democracy embraces diversity; it doesn't try and compress it into a narrow tunnel of bile and arrogance. The Constitution ensures the separation of church and state because true freedom comes only with the right to choose one's religion - or to not believe in a God at all. What is the difference between a tyrannical government of any ideology and the cultist Christianity that a Sarah Palin would impose on us? None.

Without a love for the spark that ignites the glories of the human spirit, there is only a grim, spiteful self-indulgence wrapped in the harsh din of claims to knowledge of the divine. Human history has paid dearly for such selfish religious shackles. Is it our turn in America to learn this painful lesson?

From (Mr.) WO @ US

Let's make sure that we know who we are praying to...

If I am your friend, and well known to you personally, you might ask me for my help in some matter, or to "put in a good word" for you. That is the basis of intercessory prayer with the saints. Key to this is the concept that we are not "praying to..." a saint, but rather requesting that they pray for us. Mary always made this clear.

Many Catholics mistake the saint as the object of prayer, instead of a helper and friend.

Asking the intercession of any saint is certainly proper, just as is asking for the intercessory prayers of the souls in Purgatory (and praying for them!).

Now, the thorny question is: What is the result of 'asking the intercession of' (or praying to) a soul which is neither in Heaven nor Purgatory?

The Devil 'hath power to assume a pleasing form'; and to grant favors or even 'miracles' as if they were of God. All of this is to deceive the unwary. (0)

But how would any Catholic fall into this trap?

First, let us look at the recent changes in the beatification/canonization processes.

"The office (of the Devil's Advocate) was established in 1587 during the reign of Pope Sixtus V and abolished by Pope John Paul II in 1983. This reform changed the canonization process considerably, helping John Paul II to usher in an unprecedented number of elevations: nearly 500 individuals were canonized and over 1,300 were beatified during his tenure as Pope as compared to only 98 canonizations by all his 20th-century predecessors, which has led many persons to question the validity of the process and whether all of those canonized today are deserving of the recognition..." (1)

The answer is: Many Catholics simply do not know any better, as they are blindly accepting every new 'Beati' or 'Saint' as 100% unquestionably legitimate. This goes hand in hand with the conditioned response to 'blanket Infallibility' (2) upon which such Beatification and Canonizations rest... ...like the proverbial 'house built on sand'.

We mortals have no right to judge the eternal destiny of a soul. Yet at the same time, we are being asked to turn off our intuitive faculties as well as our spiritual discernment (which is guided by the Holy Spirit of God).

Some questions are in order:

1) what if one is (innocently) asking the intercession of someone presented as a 'saint', who is neither in Heaven nor Purgatory? (i.e. in Hell)

2) what if one is (innocently) venerating the image/statue or relics of the same alleged saint?

3) what if a church builds a shrine or side chapel honoring the same alleged saint?

4) what if priests and bishops say the votive mass or feast day mass of the same alleged saint?

Items #3 and 4 above have one meaning if the cleric who does such is ignorant of the reality, while they have quite another meaning if done knowingly (even if only by a select few...), nonetheless, both have the same net effect - the glorification of evil.

This could be equated with the global scam of distributing un-consecrated hosts for 'Holy Communion'. It could also be done by both the knowing and the ignorant priest - nonetheless, both have the same net effect: The next-to-the-ultimate deception to the Faithful who unknowingly is receiving a false-host and not receiving the true-host - the Living Christ.

Perhaps some of this is what Mary referred to in La Salette:

"In the year 1864, Lucifer together with a large number of demons will be unloosed from hell; they will put an end to faith little by little, even in those dedicated to God. They will blind them in such a way, that, unless they are blessed with a special grace, these people will take on the spirit of these angels of hell; several religious institutions will lose all faith and will lose many souls.

"Evil books will be abundant on earth and the spirits of darkness will spread everywhere a universal slackening in all that concerns the service of God. They will have great power over nature:
there will be churches built to serve these spirits. People will be transported from one place to another by these evil spirits, even priests, for they will not have been guided by the good spirit of the Gospel, which is a spirit of humility, charity and zeal for the glory of God. On occasions, the dead and the righteous will be brought back to life. (3)

The spiritual effects of items #3 and 4 may have something to do with what I have 'felt' and sensed in certain churches and prominent Cathedrals. When this is combined with what may either be the continual or periodic absence of the Real Presence in the tabernacles of these churches - a "different spirit' may be present in its stead.

A. Thank you for sharing your views and logic with us. You have, through the Grace of God, "given flesh" to what our Heavenly Mother warned us about in La Salette.

Our Lady of La Salette "keeps on talking" and that is why She has so many enemies in the sects and other fanatical elements within the Catholic Church.

As another example...of how important is to understand how to read the Holy Scriptures (1) we will use the post-Pentecost speech by Peter:

... Ye men of Judea, and all you that dwell in Jerusalem, be this known to you, and with your ears receive my words. For these are not drunk, as you suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day: [Acts 2: 14-14]

Considering the importance wine has had in the New Testament (remember the wedding feast at Cana), from such statement, Bible-bashers could claim that the Apostles must have been known for frequently getting drunk - but not so early in the morning.

The key is that Peter was addressing people from all over the Roman Empire and beyond and the mentality and customs of some of them could have caused them to think of drunkenness. But even if the Apostles would have been thought of as heavy social drinkers, social drinking did not start so early in the morning, thus Peter remarks underscoring the time.

Were you aware that... it appears that Benedict XVI joined the "let's whitewash Judas" movement as far back as in the year 2006? (1)

Among other "gems" we read in his General Audience of October 18, 2006:

Besides, when we think of the negative role Judas played we must consider it according to the lofty ways in which God leads events. His betrayal led to the death of Jesus, who transformed this tremendous torment into a space of salvific love by consigning himself to the Father (cf. Gal 2: 20; Eph 5: 2, 25).

The word "to betray" is the version of a Greek word that means "to consign". Sometimes the subject is even God in person: it was he who for love "consigned" Jesus for all of us (Rm 8: 32). In his mysterious salvific plan, God assumes Judas' inexcusable gesture as the occasion for the total gift of the Son for the redemption of the world.

The M+G+R Foundation Comments: It seems that now Judas did not betray Jesus... he just "consigned" Him. Lord have Mercy!

It seems that...
the first part of Step No. 6 of the Sequence of Events (1) - The New Evangelization will gain tremendous momentum - was being virtually started up on September 21, 2010 (2) although it is now a moot point since we are heading straight into the chastisement as we have explained elsewhere. (3)


In the Apostolic Letter in the Form of Motu Proprio - UBICUMQUE ET SEMPER - Benedict XVI established the Pontifical Council for promoting the New Evangelization.

Art. 1.

§ 1. The Pontifical Council for Promoting the New Evangelization is established as a Dicastery of the Roman Curia in compliance with the Apostolic Constitution Pastor Bonus.

§ 2. The Council pursues its own ends both by encouraging reflection on topics of the new evangelization, and by identifying and promoting suitable ways and means to accomplish it.

Art. 2.

The action of the Council, which is carried out in collaboration with the other Dicasteries and Organisms of the Roman Curia, with respect for their relative competencies, is at the service of the particular Churches, especially in those territories of Christian tradition where the phenomenon of secularization is more obviously apparent.

Did you know that... now the Mayan Apocalyptic date of December 21, 2012 is being defused? (1)

It's a good news/bad news situation for believers in the 2012 Mayan apocalypse. The good news is that the Mayan "Long Count" calendar may not end on Dec. 21, 2012 (and, by extension, the world may not end along with it). The bad news for prophecy believers? If the calendar doesn't end in December 2012, no one knows when it actually will - or if it has already.

A new critique, published as a chapter in the new textbook "Calendars and Years II: Astronomy and Time in the Ancient and Medieval World" (Oxbow Books, 2010), argues that the accepted conversions of dates from Mayan to the modern calendar may be off by as much as 50 or 100 years. That would throw the supposed and overhyped 2012 apocalypse off by decades and cast into doubt the dates of historical Mayan events. (The doomsday worries are based on the fact that the Mayan calendar ends in 2012, much as our year ends on Dec. 31.)

The Mayan calendar was converted to today's Gregorian calendar using a calculation called the GMT constant, named for the last initials of three early Mayanist researchers. Much of the work emphasized dates recovered from colonial documents that were written in the Mayan language in the Latin alphabet, according to the chapter's author, Gerardo Aldana, University of California, Santa Barbara professor of Chicana and Chicano Studies.

The M+G+R Foundation Comments: As we understood it, the claim was associated with a planetary alignment and not some numbers in a calendar. As we stated in our document (2) about the Maya Calendar:

Astronomically speaking, exactly what is expected take place on December 21, 2012?


We learn from John Major Jenkins' article (3) that there is going to be a very unique galactic alignment on that day which involves our whole Galaxy, our Sun, the Earth, etc. The details of this alignment are outside of the scope of this document. What is necessary for us to share with the reader is the following quote:


It should be noted that because precession is a very slow process, similar astronomical alignments will be evident on the winter solstice dates within perhaps 5 years on either side of 2012. However, the accuracy of the conjunction of 2012 is quite astounding, beyond anything deemed calculable by the ancient Maya, and serves well to represent the perfect mid-point of the process.


We contacted Mr. Major Jenkins about this plus or minus 5 year period, to ensure that we understood what he meant. Our question was:

Do you speak of a "bell shaped probability curve" wherein the highest probability for this event is in the year 2012 but that there is a high probability for "whatever is to take place" in the period 2007 through 2017?

To which he kindly responded in confirmation:

You could very well conceive it as a bell shaped curve, but that would be the ideal. Astrologers know there are offset trigger events, perhaps other events like eclipses and so on. It is certainly not realistic, in my view, to expect something specific on December 21, 2012, unless it was a humanly contrived event.

Notice that Mr. Major Jenkins has stated that " ...unless it was a humanly contrived event". This is precisely the reason why we had to address the Maya Calendar issue. Mr. Major Jenkins may be more spiritually illuminated than he is currently aware of.

As we have stated - we do not necessarily doubt the accuracy of the timing of the precession/alignment. We do know that as we approach the Second Coming of Christ, the Earth and its inhabitants will feel that the end of the world is near - as we have amply described in our Sequence of Events Leading to the End of These Times (Not of the World!) (4). It will be a time of despair to those who are away from God (even if they think now that they are not away from Him). This is precisely what satan wants so that he will have a "begging audience" when he manifests himself as the Savior of Humanity and the World.

However, as many seem to always forget: There is only one God: an Omnipotent God Whom even satan (or an extraterrestrial, if the reader so wishes) must serve. Therefore, the Faithful may rest assured that what is to come, The End of These Times - IS NOT the end of the world, and will take place BEFORE December 21, 2012.

This schedule change (5) will catch those who are carefully planning the False Second Coming completely by surprise. As they precipitate themselves to produce the False Christ ahead of their updated schedule (6), they will stumble and will achieve the deception for only a brief period. This will spare many who would fall for the deception and who should not, in accordance to the listings in the Book of Life (7).

Indeed, Mr. Major Jenkins (8) , not realizing it, was right on target when he stated: "...in my view, to expect something specific on December 21, 2012, unless it was a humanly contrived event. "

From miguel de Portugal @ US

We received a not-for-publication letter. Our complete response hinged on two statements made by the writer.

We feel that the writer's statements and our response will be of consolation to many, thus we are reproducing them below.

The writer's statements:

I trust in God implicitly, and I have consistently prayed for Our Lady to take control of my life. My request is for a prayer that I will see the direction God is asking me to go, that I not be distracted by irrelevant considerations.

Our response:

You may be assured of our prayers for precisely the intention that you request, since it could not be a better one. Trusting God as you do, and "getting your self out of the way", so that you clearly see the direction He is pointing out, means that success is the only possible outcome.

Since I have personally lived it, I know - without a shred of doubt - that success is the only possible outcome.

Did you know that... the Vatican, via the L'Osservatore Romano has endorsed comic strip/cartoons The Simpsons? (1)

The official Vatican newspaper has declared that beer-swilling, doughnut-loving Homer Simpson and son Bart are Catholics -- and what's more, it says that parents should not be afraid to let their children watch "the adventures of the little guys in yellow."

"Few people know it, and he does everything to hide it. But it's true: Homer J. Simpson is Catholic", the Osservatore Romano newspaper said in an article on Sunday headlined "Homer and Bart are Catholics."

It's the second time the animated U.S. TV series, which is broadcast in 90 countries, has been praised by the Vatican.

But executive producer Al Jean told Entertainment Weekly on Monday he was in "shock and awe" at the latest assertion, adding that the Simpsons attend the "Presbylutheran" First Church of Springfield.

"We've pretty clearly shown that Homer is not Catholic", Jean said. "I really don't think he could go without eating meat on Fridays -- for even an hour."


The M+G+R Foundation Comments: As the OD did with Harry Potter (2), by essentially endorsing a "product" consumed in 90 countries, they hope that it will bring benefits to them - certainly not to God, but to them.

The way we forget... has been made far too clear as our national amnesia extends over the last two years.

After an era that saw vast economic collapse, the abrogation of basic rights, the trashing of Constitutional law, two decade-long wars that still have no end in sight, a catastrophic terrorist attack that could have been prevented, the virtual annihilation of a major American city that could have been prevented, and the theft and waste of trillions of dollars, every available poll appears to indicate that the American people have already forgotten all about it. (1)

The M+G+R Foundation Comments: This IS NOT a political statement. What we are trying to illustrate again is the "forgetfulness" of humanity. We humans keep making the same grievous mistakes. Please remember this, as God allows what He Will upon humanity. He is doing it for our own good.

We want you to also be aware that as we type these words the forging of an anti US-UK axis is well advanced among the leadership of Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Lebanon, Syria and Turkey. The Latin American Branch of this axis is headed by Venezuela's Hugo Chavez.

Short of the annihilation of nations (sounds familiar?) we will not be able to stop it, or its consequences upon the US, the UK, and Israel, plus allies.

[Feast of Mary, Wonderful Mother]


From (Mr.) TK @ US

I have been thinking for some time now if the flurry of UFO and alien information, being covered by the media on all fronts, is part of a demonic deception. Based on your information on the Book of Enoch (1) and some of your very recent postings on the FYI&R page such seems as a very possible scenario.

I have run across an article (2) in Spirit Daily and it seemed to be very interesting and timely. I have no idea about the author of the article or the book (3) he refers to.

No need for you to reply, just an FYI.

Hope that you are feeling well!

TK

A.
Thank you for your kind concern and referral.

We have only looked into the subject matter of the referenced book and it seems to be yet another derivative of what we have been publishing for years - note the date of publication of the book - August 2010.

This, by no means, is meant in a derogatory manner to either author (of the article, or of the book). What it means is that it does not add anything to what the faithful need to know to safely navigate through the End of These Times - information that we have already published.

On the other hand, it could very well be that our "Guardian Angels" (those at the Pentagon) are putting to good use what we are revealing in the Name of God.

We could safely say that the last major exposé that we published about these matters was our warning about Javier Sierra's book The Lady in Blue. (4)

A quote from said article follows:

As part of the story, Mr. Sierra covers the fallen angels and their mating with the daughters of men. His statements - fueled by Agreda's alleged writings - are error ridden. These errors are mixed with facts, figures and documents in such a convincing manner that many of Sierra's readers would accept his errors as logical truth. He even dragged St. Teresa de Jesus (de Avila) into this charade, an individual whom we know well and can personally vouch for. We have covered the issue of the fallen angels in a separate document (5).

Thus - in a nutshell: A very well known, well intentioned and informed investigative author "proves" that the Marian Apparitions were concocted by The Vatican, and that the angels of God are helping to unmask such falsified Marian Apparitions. Thus, the eight lane highway-landing strip has been prepared for the arrival of the False Christ. Sierra has even provided a subtle hint that could justify bringing aliens into the picture - were it necessary.

We are glad that you alerted us to the existence of yet another publication about these matters.

If you are wondering... what a Financial Statement of The Vatican looks like, a committed cooperator came across one and shared it with us, with his comments. His communication follows:

The following two sentences (labeled here (a) and (b) for your convenience) are extracted from "the statement published Saturday [July 10, 2010] by the Council of Cardinals for the Study of Organizational and Economic Matters of the Holy See on the 2009 financial statement of the Holy See and the Vatican City State Governorate." (underlining is mine): (1)

(a) His Excellency Archbishop Velasio De Paolis explained the 2009 financial statement of the Holy See, that records income of 250,182,364 euro [US$ 316,317,777] and expenditures of 254,284,520 euro [US$ 321,504,333], with a deficit of 4,102,156 euro [US$ 5,186,556].

(b) There are then the donations made by other institutions, among whom are the I.O.R., which donated 50,000,000 euro [US$ 63,217,441] for the religious activities of the Holy Father.

It is unclear to me whether the I.O.R. [the "Vatican Bank"] (2) donation is part of the 250,182,364 euro income or not. Regardless, the comparison is inevitable: in 2009, the I.O.R. made a donation to the Vatican equivalent to the 20% of the income of the Holy See for that year.

As for the I.O.R., "Since its assets are not considered property of the Holy See, it is not overseen by the Prefecture for the Economic Affairs of the Holy See" (2). Remember - the I.O.R. does not have precisely a record of "transparency" (had it been the case, Marcinkus would not have needed diplomatic immunity in the Banco Ambrosiano scandal). In essence, the I.O.R. fits perfectly under the label of anonymous financial interests. Thus, the Papacy also depends on substantial anonymous power - the same "power" Benedict XVI recently spoke against.

The words of Benedict XVI of October 11, 2010 (underlined by sender): (3)

A. "We think of the great powers of the present day, of the anonymous financial interests which turn men into slaves, which are no longer human things, but are an anonymous power which men serve, by which men are tormented and even slaughtered. They [i.e., anonymous financial interests] are a destructive power, a power that menaces the world." -- Pope Benedict XVI, Reflection after the reading of the office for the Third Hour this morning in the Synod Aula, Vatican City, October 11, 2010


The M+G+R Foundation Comments: It is interesting to note that it is only through ZENIT (the Legionnaires of Christ media arm) that this complete report is published.

It is also interesting to note as one reads the full report (1) that: The largest contribution (outside that of the Vatican Bank) was made by the dioceses of the United States, followed by the dioceses of Germany.

This is coherent. Germany - because the claimant to the Papacy is German and the US because, if the truly generous Americans were better informed (4) about religion in general, and, in particular, about the immense ("unlimited" seems to be a better word) (5) wealth of the Roman Catholic Church, the US collection plates would dry up.

To sum it up: It is business as usual... Mammon's business, of course.

Did you know that... Jesus clearly spelled out the consequences, for all, of a failed Evangelization?

In part of today's Mass Gospel [Lk 12:39-48] we read:

“Who, then, is the faithful and prudent steward whom the master will put in charge of his servants to distribute the food allowance at the proper time?

Blessed is that servant whom his master on arrival finds doing so.

Truly, I say to you, he will put him in charge of all his property. But if that servant says to himself, ‘My master is delayed in coming', and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, to eat and drink and get drunk, then that servant’s master will come on an unexpected day and at an unknown hour and will punish the servant severely and assign him a place with the unfaithful.

That servant who knew his master’s will but did not make preparations nor act in accord with his will shall be beaten severely; and the servant who was ignorant of his master’s will but acted in a way deserving of a severe beating shall be beaten only lightly.

Much will be required of the person entrusted with much, and still more will be demanded of the person entrusted with more.”


Who is who in that parable? Notice that He uses two terms - "steward" and "servant" - thus there are two "collective" entities.

(a) "Blessed is that servant whom his master on arrival finds doing so." Blessed are those who, still under any steward, have served the Master well;

(b) The servants who knew his master's will and did not act accordingly, shall be beaten severely; and

(c) The servants who were kept in the dark by a deceitful steward(s) will only be beaten lightly.

Therefore - we could say that: Regardless of the Church Administration (The "Steward") and their sad history - Much will be required of the person entrusted with much, and still more will be demanded of the person entrusted with more.

May those who have Eyes, See and Ears, Hear!

Part of the mystery... surrounding Benedict XV's photograph mentioned on this forum on October 15th (1) has been solved through the assistance of a close cooperator of The M+G+R Foundation.

To remind our readers of the issue at hand, we quote our response of October 15th:

We visited the link you suggested and observed what you stated. However, the "palm of a hand" sees more like a paw of an animal since it only has four fingers. We could not make any more than what you did ("profi cia") when we examined the writing that you referred to.

Maybe that paw print and the semi-transparent writing on it is being used by the photo owners so that others cannot use the photo although they usually use the name of the company or press agency.

What also called our attention was that when we enlarged the photo by 200% the face of the man in the window does not resemble that of Benedict XVI.

The paw of an animal and the (misread) partial letters "profi cia" are indeed part of the watermark used on the photgraphs "fotobanka Profimedia" (2) produce.

Our cooperator also enlarged and cropped the field of Benedict's image. You may see it for yourself now (3) and may then decide whether it really looks like the face of Joseph A. Ratzinger or not.

From (Mr.) IW @ US

From first letter:

As part of my research work I have come across this horror:

In 1534, John of Leyden, a 25-year-old tailor, took charge of a religious-communist, Anabaptist revolution in Münster, Germany after the original leader fell in battle.[*] In September of that year, he accepted the title of Messiah, an honor granted by a wandering prophet. John said, “Now I am given power over all nations of the earth ... and the right to use the sword to the confusion of the wicked and in defense of the righteous.” His rule included forced polygamy and execution of dissenters.

In 1535, a Catholic army besieged and took Münster; Leyden and his inner circle “lived opulently and commandeered what little food remained in the city,” while “the starved population ate rats, grass, shoes, and even corpses.” John and two confederates were tortured to death with hot irons in 1536; their bodies were put in cages to rot, and the cages were suspended from the tower of St. Lambert’s Cathedral in the middle of Münster – where they remain to this day, more than 400 years later.

[*] Information in this paragraph is from Paul Boyer, When Time Shall Be No More: Prophecy Belief in Modern American Culture, Harvard University Press, 1994, pp. 59-60.

The iron cages in which the mutilated corpses of the Munster ringleaders were left for display are indeed still on display on the tower of the Cathedral of St. Lambert in Munster. (1)

From second letter:

Last night, I was looking up something in one of my Church history books, and found a photo of a medieval carving of a person crouching on the ground, with his/her buttocks exposed. The photo legend says, "The figure, its rear facing the high altar, formed part of the ensemble screening the priest's chancel from the people's nave." (legend for photo facing p. 196, in Diarmaid MacCulloch's The Reformation, 2003, Penguin Books.)

This reminded me of what you had said in the past, that there is satanic art in some of Europe's oldest and grandest cathedrals.

I did a Google image search, but could not find the photo. If you want to see it, I could scan the image and send it to you.

I did a Google search on the photo topic, and found an on-line excerpt from the same MacCulloch book: (2)

Lurking in a little English country church, at Preston Bissett in Buckinghamshire, is an object lesson in the difficulty of understanding the religious outlook of past generations. Holding up the arch at the entrance to the chancel, the most sacred part of the church building, are two carved stone figures, sculpted sometime in the early fourteenth century. The figure on the north side, crouched on all fours under the weight of the arch, is displaying his ample buttocks toward the high altar, the place where, day by day before the Reformation, the priest of Preston presided at the Mass, transforming bread and wine into the flesh and blood of the crucified Christ. Some later vandal has knocked the head off the carving, as with countless other carvings in Protestant Europe, but the buttocks are unscathed.

Whatever else the placement of a stone figure "mooning" the Altar might be, it could not have been an accident. Someone had to order it, design it, sculpt it, place it ... and allow it to remain in place during the several centuries before the Reformation.

A. Thank you for sharing your findings with us. We appreciate your offer of sending a scan of the image in your book, but it will not be necessary.

We live surrounded by that filth. Less than 500 meters from where these lines are being typed, there is a Cathedral where in the choir loft alone there is a multitude of similarly obscene wood carvings which the local residents call: "The Mercies".

As we have said in the past - the European Union has been made to be "the bad guy of the film" when they refused to mention the Christian heritage of Europe. However, anyone that has been exposed to the real history (and much of the architectonic art) of Christianity in Europe should be amazed that God has not razed the European continent to the ground... yet.

As we have also said many times - If I did not know the spiritual truth of Christianity and that Catholicism contains the greatest concentration of revealed Divine truths, from what I have witnessed from institutionalized Christianity, I would have practiced any faith BUT Christianity and, if I had been in a position of supreme power, I would have barred its practice in an effort to protect the innocent.

That is how bad the situation was and is, and that is why God, tired of giving "one more chance", will allow its crucifixion (1) so that it may be finally Glorified.

May anyone from the Elect who dares cry "Where is/was God?" when, literally, all hell breaks loose stay in Purgatory until the full sentence is served in accordance to the Will of God.

We have been, in the Holy Name of God, warning humanity - primarily institutionalized Christianity - for nearly twenty years, in no uncertain terms, and we are, frankly, fed up with the lack of adequate response from those who claim Christianity as the faith they promote and profess.

[Feast of St. Luke the Evangelist]


From (Mr.) IW @ US

I've had a number of thoughts on the use of various supplements to restore health and prevent disease, and there is something that troubles me and I'd like to outline it here.

There are indeed ways that we can augment our health, or restore it, by giving our bodies what they need and sometimes lack. This can only be considered good and proper. Still, as I very selectively try different supplements I find myself sometimes carried away by the promise of beating the aging process. God quickly reminds me of the limitations of my fallen state. While this is a minor sin quickly fixed, it exposes a longing of the human condition that can be exploited by the right person with the right information.

What do I mean specifically?

The vitamin D story, which you now follow even more closely than I, is one that should not have been suppressed for so long. It should be shouted from the rooftops. I find similar stories throughout the medical establishment, whether it pertains to the real causes of heart disease, the effectiveness of this or that drug or why anybody would take various sleeping pills, when the natural hormone Melatonin is so effective. In short, there is a complete disconnect in medicine between what is true, and what is considered "officially proven".

I can't be the only one to see through this mirage, as I'm not an expert on everything, and the field is full of very capable people. As with the vitamin D story, in most cases the truth is out there, yet the establishment interests have no incentive to publicize it and in some cases seem to aggressively avoid it.

Now - the concern that troubles me: Suppose that a charismatic leader were to emerge, one who can solve financial and political problems, who was well informed of what can already be known about medical science, who restructures the information presented to people, and made real dents into the diseases of mankind. He could even promise that with the right natural supplements, specified by him, we might just beat the aging process.

To the degree that the truth is unknown, whoever can first present some of it to the people, can gain a huge advantage in perception. I would not be surprised to find the same at work in various hi-tech enterprises, where breakthroughs are held back, until the right person presents them.

IW

A.
Thank you for sharing your views and concerns with us.

As you wisely stated: "...the field is full of very capable people...". Unfortunately the field is fuller of people in denial which means that only few can "...see through this mirage." With this qualifier in public perception as a backdrop, the thought that troubles you: "To the degree that the truth is unknown, whoever can first present some of it to the people, can gain a huge advantage in perception. I would not be surprised to find the same at work in various hi-tech enterprises, where breakthroughs are held back, until the right person presents them. "

Just as the RC Church authorities were planning to coattail on the specific dates of apocalyptic events revealed to certain individuals (1), others are planning, and feverishly working on, precisely what you have brought up. Let us not forget that there are different "World Saviors" (2) yet they are following different stratagems to implement their saving "grace".

To give our readers a sample of something that really exists yet would sound simply unbelievable if you see it in a Start Trek or Star Wars episode, take a look at the Digital Pen. (3) Only God knows how many other "magic devices" are in satan's arsenal to fulfill part of the secret of La Salette: The demons of the air together with the Antichrist will perform great wonders on earth and in the atmosphere, and men will become more and more perverted.

As we have said many times - unless the Holy Spirit of God is a "permanent resident" (4) in the soul of an individual, said individual will be deceived and lost.

             
(1) The manipulation of Heavenly Announced Dates
(2) The fundamental three groups of World Saviors
(3) Digital Pen
(4) Baptism does not ensure the permanent residency of the Holy Spirit of God. Basically, the baptism is equivalent of formatting the soul to receive the Holy Spirit of God and not a mechanism that permanently binds the Holy Spirit of God to our souls. Striving to live the Word of God is what ensures permanent comunion with the Holy Spirit of God.

Gluten-free has gone big time... but why so popular? (1)

Because gluten-free is what low-carb was a decade ago: The "it" diet discussed on daytime talk shows, promoted by hyper-slim actresses and adopted by masses. Grocery aisles are stocked with the likes of gluten-free pasta, crackers, cereal and beer.

But why?

Unlike some other dietary boogeymen like trans-fats, gluten is not inherently bad to eat. Only a small percentage of people can't tolerate the protein, which occurs naturally in wheat, barley and rye. Plus, banning gluten from your diet can be really hard.

The fad seems to be partly fueled by the celebrity factor: Paltrow talks it up on her website, Clinton stirred online chatter this summer when she ordered a gluten-free cake for her big day, and the muscular guy on the funny Old Spice commercials recently told Jay Leno gluten is one of the things he cut from his diet.


The M+G+R Foundation comments: The gluten-free travesty is a perfect example - in a very small scale - of how bad what Mr. IW's concerns (see above post) can get to be. The gluten issue produced some benefit to a very small fraction of the population. Imagine now the scenario if the issue in question produced miraculous-like effects to a great percentage of the population.

Do you wonder what... else is associated with the number 42? (1)

Amazingly enough, "42" is the result given by the web search engines Wolfram Alpha, Google and Microsoft's Bing when the query "the answer to life the universe and everything" is entered as a search.

There are 42 principles of Ma'at, the Ancient Egyptian personification of physical and moral law, order, and truth. There are 42 gods and goddesses of Egypt, personifying the principles of Ma'at. These 42 correspond to the 42 Nomes (Governmental Units) of Egypt. If the departed successfully answers all 42, s/he becomes an Osiris.

42 also is the number with which God creates the Universe in Kabalistic tradition. (2)

Did you know that... the true relics of the Three Magi who journeyed to the Holy Land to honor Jesus upon His birth rest in the Cathedral of Cologne?

We do not fully agree with the story presented by Wikipedia; (1) however, the alternate version, about which we just learned, adds to its credibility.

In the alternate version we see Empress Helena (Constantine's mother) searching for relics in the Holy Land and finding the cross of Our Lord. While there, couriers sent by the King of Persia brought to her the relics of the Three Magi as a way of honoring the Emperor of the Roman Empire. She, in turn, brought them back and presented them to the church in Milan where she had been baptized. Centuries later, Fredrick Barbarossa, while pillaging and plundering Milan, took them with him back to Germany. Later, Fredrick Barbarossa became the Holy Roman Emperor and, logically, "heavy make up" was applied to the story - which is probably what we see in Wikipedia today.

and that...

...there was indeed a King Gaspar (maybe Gondophares I) which seems to have been one of the Three Wise Men/Magi/Kings?

The name of Gondaphares was translated in Armenian in "Gastaphar", and then in Western languages into "Gaspard". He may be the "Gaspard, King of India", who, according to apocryphal texts and eastern Christian tradition, was one of the three Biblical Magi who attended the birth of Christ. (1)

and that...

...two of the three greatest archeological finds in the 20th century were the finding of the Gnostic Gospels (1945) and the Dead Sea Scrolls (1946-1956 )?

The other greatest archeological find of the 20th century was the Tomb of Tutankhamon... which eventually opened the gates to learn about the one monotheistic Pharaoh of Egypt - Akhenaten (formerly Amenhotep IV) - whose existence had been erased from history by vested interests of the institutionalized religion of Pharaonic Egypt.

The M+G+R Foundation comments: Someone may be thinking now: "So what? Why should we get excited about it?"

Picture this... August, 1945 - Japan... Hiroshima and Nagasaki are practically vaporized. This, in essence, ends of World War II which could have been prevented if the Roman Catholic Church leaders had any faith (1). Almost immediately God tries to impress upon faithless humanity that the Biblical stories are not "just stories" or "money making myths" by allowing humanity to discover what, in essence, would have been the "Local Library of the Holy Land" at the time that Jesus walked amongst us - the Gnostic Gospels and the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Later on - in the fifties and seventies - the reality of the Three Magi/Kings/Wise Men is confirmed via the discovery of coins with King Gaspar's image, as well as the ruins of his capital city.

It seems that God was doing all He could - after the Universal pains humanity brought upon itself through World War II - to catch faithless humanity's attention. He used Marian Apparitions with their messages - Rosa Mystica (2), Garabandal (3) and Akita (4) and Kibeho (5) - and the archaeological finds, confirmations of Scripture that would be acceptable by the world of science.

As anyone not on denial can see, His "Plan B" failed too. Humanity continues to drift away from Him faster, thus, further. Stand by (6) for God's "Plan C" - the Final One.

[Feast of Mary's Purity]


Speaking about the date 10-10-10... Of course that date symbolizes October 10, 2010.

In some cultures that date would be expressed as 10 October, 2010 and yet, in another cultures, it would be expressed as 2010 October 10. When these options are reduced to a series of two numbers, it does not matter how it is expressed since it would appear as 10-10-10 universally - for all three systems of expression.

Next... The number "101010" is a binary number (numbers used in computer systems) which, expressed in the numbers we commonly use, represents "42". Therefore, no matter which culture’s date notation is used, that date means "42". As you know the number 42 is very Biblical; actually, it is very Apocalyptic - 42 months (or years or days as we have explained elsewhere).

As we also mentioned on the October 14th post, on October 10th Benedict XVI, inaugurated a new Coat of Arms which made a very strong statement, as we pointed out. On that same date period (October 10 - October 11 (1)) he opened the Synod on the Middle East with language with a very strong Apocalyptic flavor (2), as we also pointed out in the referred to post.

Without pursuing the issue in the numerology context, we realized that half of 42 is 21 and October 31st (now popularly celebrated as Halloween Day (2)) was 21 days after October 10th. Since we have traveled that far with this "number theory", we wondered what November 21st would be. To our astonishment it is Sunday, the celebration of Christ the King. As most of our readers know, the celebration of Christ the King falls on a different day every year and, this year it fell 42 days after the 10-10-10 date.

The deciphering of the obvious symbolism illustrated above is left to be achieved between the reader and the Holy Spirit of God

             
(1) On Earth there are always two dates present - one before the International Date Line and a different one after. Therefore, universally speaking October 10th and 11th can be considered the same for events of planetary impact.

Did you know that... the Pentagon is looking into breeding immortal ‘Synthetic Organisms,’ with molecular Kill-Switch included? (1)

The Pentagon’s mad science arm may have come up with its most radical project yet. Darpa is looking to re-write the laws of evolution to the military’s advantage, creating “synthetic organisms” that can live forever — or can be killed with the flick of a molecular switch.

As part of its budget for the next year, Darpa is investing $6 million into a project called BioDesign, with the goal of eliminating “the randomness of natural evolutionary advancement.” The plan would assemble the latest bio-tech knowledge to come up with living, breathing creatures that are genetically engineered to “produce the intended biological effect.” Darpa wants the organisms to be fortified with molecules that bolster cell resistance to death, so that the lab-monsters can “ultimately be programmed to live indefinitely.”

Of course, Darpa’s got to prevent the super-species from being swayed to do enemy work — so they’ll encode loyalty right into DNA, by developing genetically programmed locks to create “tamper proof” cells. Plus, the synthetic organism will be traceable, using some kind of DNA manipulation, “similar to a serial number on a handgun.” And if that doesn’t work, don’t worry. In case Darpa’s plan somehow goes horribly awry, they’re also tossing in a last-resort, genetically-coded kill switch.

The M+G+R Foundation comments: Someone needs to tell our "mad scientists" that the genetically-coded kill switch is not their idea. God thought of it first and we are equipped with it. To wit:

Wherefore thus saith the Lord concerning the king of the Assyrians: He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow into it, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a trench about it. By the way that he came, he shall return, and into this city he shall not come, saith the Lord. And I will protect this city, and will save it for my own sake, and for the sake of David my servant.

And the angel of the Lord went out, and slew in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand. And they arose in the morning, and behold they were all dead corpses.
And Sennacherib the king of the Assyrians went out and departed, and returned, and dwelt in Ninive. [Isaiah 37:33-36]

Oh, pardon us... we forgot, "mad scientists" and powerful leaders do not believe in God – and according to their non-Bible, if one does not believe in God, one is outside His reach.

Notes

(1) If you are a new visitor, you may get the idea (from what you may read on this page) that we are part of what is known as the "liberal movement" within Catholicism. We strongly suggest that you first review our positions regarding the Pristine Catholic Faith (we said "Faith" and not "Church Administration), RC Church Administration, Only Possible Changes Within the RCC Allowed by God and Our Function.

(2) If you prefer to evaluate positions using the "liberal", "moderate" and "conservative" labels, we would fall in the "practicing conservative" group, without the fanaticism which most "talking conservatives" exhibit. The difference between "practicing conservative" and "talking conservative" is that the first strives to live what Jesus Christ taught, while the second one, the "talking conservative", just talks about the faith and practices just enough for others to see.

(3) In an effort to keep our readers informed in the areas that matter most as we approach the End of These Times and better utilize the limited time available to us we will post what used to beposted on Did you know that...?, Private Forum, Public Forum Part II and Points to Ponder About on this one single page - FYI&R



You are encouraged to be an instrument in reaching all who must be reached in His Name through your assistance.
