Pope Benedict XVI’s Resignation Opened the Door to a Reign of Sacrilege, Blood

David Martin | The Daily Knight

Since the election of Pope Francis in 2013, we have witnessed what is being called the most chaotic epoch of Church history. Everything from Pachamama idol worship in St. Peter’s Basilica to the Vatican funding of abortion has rocked the universal Church.

Pope Benedict XVI’s decision to abdicate the Throne of Peter is what opened the door to this treacherous time. Credible reports confirm that Benedict XVI was placed under great pressure to resign in 2013 so that progressivist one-world architects could move forward with their plan to shackle the Church under a world government that oppresses the innocent.

We know from the late Cardinal Danneels of Brussels that he was part of a radical “mafia” reformist group opposed to Benedict XVI. Danneels, known for his support of abortion, LGBT rights, and gay-marriage, said in a taped interview in September 2015 that he and several cardinals were part of this “mafia” club that was calling for drastic changes in the Church, to make it “much more modern,” and that the plan was to oust Benedict and have Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio [Pope Francis] head it.

Abomination in Rome

What Benedict’s resignation did was to set in motion a new order of ‘ecclesial ecology,’ which came to a head in October 2019 when Pope Francis and several cardinals were filmed chanting, dancing, and “praying” before the idol Pachamama inside St. Peter’s Basilica. The idol served to symbolize Francis’ ecological effort to make “reparation” to the planetary idol of “Mother Earth” for the “sins” committed against her.

Francis Consorting with U.N. Abortion Advocates

With this, Francis has repeatedly invited U.N. population-control experts to the Vatican to lecture the Church concerning its “duty” to assist their Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of making “mother earth” a safer place through population control (abortion). As they see it, the great enemy of mankind is human babies since they will grow up and ‘pollute the environment’ with their CO2 emissions, so these satanic one-world planners have deemed it the Church’s duty to assist them in sacrificing children to the planet via abortion.

On October 28, 2019, the Pontifical Academy of Sciences partnered with U.N. pro-abortion advocates to sign a common declaration committing themselves to universally implementing the U.N. sustainable development goals championed by socialist rebels like George Soros, Bill Gates, and Jeffrey Sachs. According to Francis, when these U.N. globalists speak “our duty is to obey.” https://www.youtube.com/embed/FBOeHudjqGM?autoplay=0&mute=0&controls=1&origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.knightsrepublic.com&playsinline=1&showinfo=0&rel=0&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&enablejsapi=1&widgetid=1

Vatican Invested in Murderous Abortifacient Pills

If that isn’t bad enough, we now learn that for years the Holy See’s investment management and real estate office (APSA) invested 20 million euros in two pharmaceutical companies that produce the abortifacient morning-after pill that murders the living child after it has been conceived in the womb.

Sinister Health Conference

Rome’s collusion with abortion advocates is seemingly tied with the upcoming Vatican health conference May 6-8, titled, “Unite to Prevent & Unite to Cure”, since the thrust of the conference is to garner support for the universal COVID vaccine made with aborted baby parts that has killed nearly 10,000 people who have taken it.

In a word, Rome today is colluding with U.N. population control gurus in their plan to oppress the Faith and eliminate the unborn — a plan that kicked into high gear upon Benedict’s consent to abdicate. Under insurmountable pressure, he announced on February 11, 2013 that he was vacating the Chair of Peter and just hours after this two foreboding shafts of lightning struck the dome of St. Peter’s Basilica, which many saw as an omen of something dire to ensue. We indeed have since witnessed a Petrine debacle of unprecedented proportions.

Yea, we have seen an avid communist sympathizer on the Chair of Peter who has glaringly displayed his red marks by his repeated praise of communist leaders, actions, and ideas. In a 2016 interview Francis famously said:

“It is the communists who think like Christians…. It is they who must help to achieve equality and freedom.”

St. Francis’ Prophecy

Consider now the following prophecy of St. Francis of Assisi concerning a future pope. This is taken from Works of the Seraphic Father St. Francis of Assisi, R. Washbourne Publishing House, 1882, pp. 248-250, with imprimatur by His Excellency William Bernard, Bishop of Birmingham. The source of this prophecy is the Opuscola or Writings of St. Francis (1623) by Fr. Luke Wadding, recognized as history’s foremost scholar and historian on St. Francis of Assisi.

At the time of this tribulation, a man, not canonically elected, will be raised to the Pontificate, who, by his cunning, will endeavor to draw many into error…. Some preachers will keep silence about the truth, and others will trample it under foot and deny it. Sanctity of life will be held in derision even by those who outwardly profess it, for in those days Jesus Christ will send them not a true pastor, but a destroyer.

Whether or not Pope Francis fulfills the above prophecy cannot be ascertained, but what is certain is that Francis is “not a true pastor, but a destroyer” who has “drawn many into error.” For he has spent the past eight years consorting with godless one-world planners in their covin to abolish Christianity and shackle humanity under a world government that murders the innocent and the “non-essential.” To think that God’s headquarters on earth should become a consortium to advance the aspirations of a satanic brood of vipers.

We are truly witnessing the fulfillment of the Blessed Virgin’s prophecy at La Salette that:

“Rome will lose the Faith and will become the seat of Antichrist.” (1846)

BREAKING NEWS: Cheney booted from Republican leadership spotInboxPOLITICO <alert@email.politico.com> Unsubscribe8:24 AM (4 hours ago)to meHouse Republicans voted quickly on Wednesday to remove Liz Cheney as their No. 3 leader over her repeated criticism of Donald Trump, amassive shakeup that ties the party tighter to Trump and threatens to create a new litmus test in the GOP.The fast-moving campaign to dump Cheney, Congress’ highest-ranking Republican woman, and replace her with a Trump loyalist was orchestrated by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and his top deputies. The California Republican and his allies complained that Cheney’s constant readiness to call out Trump’s lies about the 2020 election was a distraction that prevented the party from unifying around a cohesive message to win back the House next year.Cheney briefly addressed the conference before the voice vote, vowing to keep fighting”If you want leaders who will enable and spread his destructive lies, I’m not your person, you have plenty of others to choose from. That will be their legacy,” Cheney said.”But I promise you this, after today, I will be leading the fight to restore our party and our nation to conservative principles, to defeating socialism, to defending our republic, to making the GOP worthy again of being the party of Lincoln,” she added.McCarthy faced mounting pressure to oust Cheney from Trump and the right flank of his conference — a crucial voting bloc if he wants to claim the speaker’s gavel after the midterms. His push to unseat his own No. 3 culminated Wednesday in a leadership eviction that proved most shocking because of how quickly the outcome became predictable. Cheney was recalled as conference chair, a role responsible for both party messaging and member services.Veteran GOP Rep. Virginia Foxx of North Carolina introduced the formal resolution to boot Cheney during Wednesday’s closed-door meeting. A replacement election for the House GOP conference chairmanship is expected to happen later this week or next week. So far, Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York — a moderate turned Trump ally — is the only candidate running for the position. She has been working quickly to lock down support, while McCarthy and members close to him are whipping members hard to support her.“Each day spent re-litigating the past is one less day we have to seize the future,” McCarthy wrote in a letter to his colleagues ahead of the vote. “If we are to succeed in stopping the radical Democrat agenda from destroying our country, these internal conflicts need to be resolved so as not to detract from the efforts of our collective team.”Cheney’s removal from leadership delivered a demoralizing blow to the small but vocal anti-Trump wing of the GOP, while serving up a major victory to hard-line conservatives who failed to take her down in February and have agitated for her removal ever since.It’s also a stunning fall from grace for Cheney, a political scion who was once seen as a fast-rising star in the party. The Wyoming Republican passed on a Senate bid last year to seek her fortunes in the House and was floated as a future speaker. Now, Cheney is a woman in GOP exile who may struggle to even hold on to her congressional seat next fall.Yet Cheney, who has framed the debate as a fight for democracy and freedom, has made clear she feels comfortable being toppled for sticking to her beliefs. She didn’t try to persuade GOP colleagues to keep her in the post. In a fiery floor speech on the eve of her ouster, she defiantly deemed Trump a “threat we have never seen before” and raised concerns about the direction of her party.”Remaining silent and ignoring the lie emboldens the liar,” Cheney said Tuesday night, wearing a replica pin of George Washington’s battle flag. “I will not participate in that. I will not sit back and watch in silence while others lead our party down a path that abandons the rule of law and joins the former president’s crusade to undermine our democracy.””We must speak the truth,” she added. “Our election was not stolen, and America has not failed.”Frustrations inside the GOP conference over Cheney have brewed for weeks, with one member referring to the situation as a “slow burn.” After easily holding on to power in February following her vote to impeach Trump, Cheney continued to speak her mind about the former president in interviews, press conferences and op-eds. Republicans started to complain that they were being asked about Cheney by their constituents and donors back home.Those tensions reached a boiling point at the House GOP’s annual policy retreat in Orlando late last month, where Cheney once again publicly split with McCarthy on Trump in a move that other Republicans saw as undermining their message. The effort to expel her from the No. 3 spot in leadership escalated quickly after that.Even some of Cheney’s closest allies, like Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-Wis.), and moderates who voted to fully certify Trump’s loss, said a change was needed. Lawmakers from all corners of the conference said Cheney should have been focused on bashing the Biden administration — not continually shining a spotlight on their internal divisions over Trump. “You can’t have a Republican conference chair who continually recites Democratic talking points,” said Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), a Freedom Caucus co-founder and Trump ally. “You can’t have a Republican conference chair who takes positions that 90 percent of the party oppose. … I just don’t see how that’s helpful.”While McCarthy argued just a few months ago that the GOP is a “big tent” that could house a multitude of viewpoints, Wednesday’s vote suggests that the party’s competing Trump factions in the party may be too difficult to reconcile. “Kevin McCarthy (an employee of Donald Trump) may win tomorrow, but history won’t be kind,” tweeted Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), who voted to impeach Trump. “Never has our party gone after it’s [sic??] own leadership like this, but Kevin and Steve Scalise made history, because Trump has thin skin. I’d be embarrassed if I was them.”Aside from Kinzinger, though, the vast majority of House Republicans weren’t conflicted about dethroning Cheney — even if some of them were uncomfortable with the optics or privately worried about the potential repercussions with voters in 2022. Republicans say McCarthy will likely suffer little consequences, at least internally, for purging Cheney from their leadership ranks.And unlike February’s attempted Cheney dethroning, McCarthy is not dealing with simultaneous drama caused by controversial Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.). At the time, McCarthy felt it would be politically disastrous to defend Greene while ousting Cheney, so he ultimately stood behind both lawmakers. Now, McCarthy has some distance from both the Greene turmoil and Jan. 6.But Democrats plan to make the moment as painful as possible for Republicans. They have already seized on the Cheney chaos, using her expulsion to yoke the entire GOP to Trump, the conspiracy theories of QAnon and lies about election fraud circulating on the right.”Liz Cheney spoke truth to power, and for that, she’s being fired,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Tuesday.Read more: https://www.politico.com/news/2021/05/12/cheney-booted-prewrite-hold-487522

German Priests, with approval of bishops, now publicly blessing gay unions!

Fr. Brown

In Germany they’ve begun “blessing Gay unions” now in “Catholic Churches” with the approval of several German bishops.  One dumb bishop came forward to say “this is not schism” -correct…Rome has not excommunicated any of them!   Rome had no problem “excommunicating” traditional Roman Catholic bishops for simply ordaining and consecrating bishops and priests (who would never dream of such a monstrosity as “Gay unions” nor promote heresy, or Liturgical insanity…or the thousands of now reported “New Church” invalid baptisms…all “in union with Rome” -just remember folks…we are NOT in union with these people.  What will Pope Francis say about it?  Nothing as of yet…Fr. B.

The Whimpering New York Times, Liz Cheney & Trump the “Walking Red-Pill”

May 12, 2021

Laughter is good for the soul. Please read the Biden Democracy Stealing collaborator New York Times, O.J. Simpson and media friends sniveling hysterical headlines and cryings on how the ouster of Fake Republican Liz Cheney from the GOP conference chair post is a “Plot Against… Our Democracy.” I’m still chuckling at this moment at the New York Time’s hilarious ridiculous headline. [“The Trump G.O.P.’s Plot Against Liz Cheney — and Our Democracy”: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/11/opinion/liz-cheney-gop.html]

Today, the great Catholic website The Deus Ex Machina Blog posted an article by The Conservative Treehouse, Excellent News, On Eve of Liz Cheney Ouster 100 DeceptiCons [RINOs] Proclaim Threat to Create a Third Party, explaining to conservative critics of Donald Trump why he “is a walking red-pill” of the Deep State and its friends such as the whimpering New York Times and all RINO NeverTrumpers: 

Tomorrow DeceptiCon leader Liz Cheney, the Mitt Romney of John McCain’s, is expected to be thrown out of Republican leadership by a closed-door conference vote.  Hopefully, this is the beginning of the purge so desperately needed to continue The Big Ugly.  The former professional republican party is one wing of a UniParty bird.  The MAGA movement is the future of the Republican party…

…  Hindsight is 20/20, but there are people who proclaim that Donald J Trump should have been more wise in his counsel; more selective in his cabinet; more forceful in his confrontation of corporate globalists. Let me be clear….

I will never join that crew of Trump critics because I have understood his adversary for decades. CTH did not just come around to the understanding of the enemy.  CTH has been outlining the scope of the enemy, the scale of the specific war and the financial and economic power of the opposition for over a decade.  We understand the totality of the effort it will take to stop decades of willful blindness amid the American people.  We also see with clear eyes exactly what they are doing now, even with President Trump forcefully removed from office, to destroy the threat he still represents.

Donald J Trump was/is a walking red-pill; a “touchstone”: a visible, empirical test or criterion for determining the quality or genuineness of anything political. I have been deep enough into the network of the Deep State to understand the scale and scope of this enemy. To think that President Trump alone could carry the burden of correcting four decades of severe corruption of all things political, without simultaneously considering the scale of the financial opposition, is naive in the extreme.

POTUS Trump was disrupting the global order of things in order to protect and preserve the shrinking interests of the U.S. He was fighting, almost single-handed, at the threshold of the abyss. Our American interests, our MAGAnomic position, was/is essentially zero-sum. His DC and Wall-Street aligned opposition (writ large) needed to repel and retain the status-quo. They desperately wanted him removed so they could return to full economic control over the U.S, because it is the foundation of their power.

You want to criticize him for fighting harder against those interests than any single man has ever done before him? If so, do it without me.

I am thankful for the awakening Donald J Trump has provided.

I am thankful now for the opportunity to fight with great American people who finally understand the scale of our opposition.

Without Donald J Trump these DeceptiCon entities would still be operating in the shadows. With Donald J Trump we can clearly see who the real enemy is.

I will never relent in my support for anyone who fights this enemy.

I will align with and encourage anyone who joins this fight.

If you are looking for criticism against the only person I have ever witnessed who actually fought our correct enemy, look elsewhere.

I am thankful for President Trump.

CTH will never stop the fight….

Stop for a moment of silence, ask Jesus Christ what He want you to do next. Make this a practice. By doing this you are doing more good than reading anything here or anywhere else on the Internet

Francis Notes:

– Doctor of the Church St. Francis de Sales totally confirmed beyond any doubt the possibility of a heretical pope and what must be done by the Church in such a situation:

“[T]he Pope… WHEN he is EXPLICITLY a heretic, he falls ipso facto from his dignity and out of the Church, and the Church MUST either deprive him, or, as some say, declare him deprived, of his Apostolic See.”
(The Catholic Controversy, by St. Francis de Sales, Pages 305-306)

Saint Robert Bellarmine, also, said “the Pope heretic is not deposed ipso facto, but must be declared deposed by the Church.”

– “Could Francis be a Antipope even though the Majority of Cardinals claim he is Pope?”: http://www.thecatholicmonitor.com/2019/03/could-francis-be-antipope-even-though.html

 –  LifeSiteNews, “Confusion explodes as Pope Francis throws magisterial weight behind communion for adulterers,” December 4, 2017:

The AAS guidelines explicitly allows “sexually active adulterous couples facing ‘complex circumstances’ to ‘access the sacraments of Reconciliation and the Eucharist.'”

–  On February 2018, in Rorate Caeli, Catholic theologian Dr. John Lamont:

“The AAS statement… establishes that Pope Francis in Amoris Laetitia has affirmed propositions that are heretical in the strict sense.”

– On December 2, 2017, Bishop Rene Gracida:

“Francis’ heterodoxy is now official. He has published his letter to the Argentina bishops in Acta Apostlica Series making those letters magisterial documents.”

Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Church by the bishops by the grace of God.

Jesus Christ Is TRULY PRESENT, Bishop McElroy!by Judie BrownShareTweetForwardRead online and share: https://all.org/jesus-christ-is-truly-present-bishop-mcelroy/It is hard to believe, but there is at least one Catholic bishop who has put into writing his personal opinions regarding the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. His name is Bishop Robert McElroy, and his statements are many, but the following stands out as particularly troubling given the sacred nature and identity of the body of Christ:The Eucharist must never be instrumentalized for a political end, no matter how important. But that is precisely what is being done in the effort to exclude Catholic political leaders who oppose the church’s teaching on abortion and civil law. The Eucharist is being weaponized and deployed as a tool in political warfare. This must not happen.The Eucharist is not an inanimate thing. Therefore, it could never be instrumentalized by anyone other than those who have denied the sacred nature and identity of it. The body and blood of Christ are very real. So, while Bishop McElroy selectively used the Catechism to support his position, he also ignored this enduring truth taught in that same Catechism: “The Eucharistic presence of Christ begins at the moment of the consecration and endures as long as the Eucharistic species subsist. Christ is present whole and entire in each of the species and whole and entire in each of their parts, in such a way that the breaking of the bread does not divide Christ.”Many devout bishops and priests do strive to defend and protect the real presence of Christ from sacrilege. That is what leads them to call for the denial of the sacrament to pro-abortion Catholics like President Biden.They do so precisely because of Christ’s teachings. We see in the Gospel of John that Jesus taught: “I am the living bread which has come down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is my flesh, for the life of the world.”The Eucharist is this gift, which is why St. Paul declared that those who flagrantly receive the Sacrament unworthily are literally consuming their own condemnation.What McElroy has done is create confusion among many Catholics by relegating the body of Christ to an item on a political agenda. This alone shows the level of disregard he apparently has for truth. The Church teaches that Christ is truly present in the Eucharist. By extension, He could never be weaponized. Political issues are often used for such purposes, but Christ Himself is not. As I stated in a recent press release:Frankly, the reason good bishops, priests, and deacons strive to protect Christ from sacrilege and obey Canon Law by denying the body of Christ to the Catholic who embraces killing babies is because they love Christ and wish to bring the offending Catholic to His mercy. They wish to make it clear that those who are publicly engaging in manifest grave sins such as abortion must be truly repentant, sorry for their offenses to Christ, and willing to say to Him and to the public that they are truly sorry. Why McElroy does not understand this is beyond us, but one thing is clear: Defending Christ from sacrilege is NOT a political matter, it is a matter of eternal salvation.Capuchin priest Fr. Thomas Weinandy recently wrote about this very thing, saying: “Faithful Catholics know that there is an irreconcilable disconnect between what is being held by such Catholic politicians and their receiving Communion. And they see that it’s the dissenting Catholic politician who is politicizing the Eucharist.”And that, my friends, is what Bishop McElroy does not see as clearly as you and I.Please join with us in praising God for the defense of the Eucharist that has been so eloquently taught by Archbishop Joseph Naumann, Bishop Thomas Paprocki, retired Archbishop Charles Chaput, Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone, Archbishop Samuel Aquila, and Bishop Thomas Olmsted among others. Further, let us pray for all bishops, including those who, like Bishop McElroy, are called to be shepherds rather than apologists for the errant men and women who call themselves Catholic while spitting on the face of Christ through their support for killing babies.No matter how much some twist and pervert the truth, these verbal gymnastics will never change it. Jesus Christ is truly present in the Eucharist. That is the truth.

Skojec’s 1P5 COVID DeathVax Non-Science/Medical Expert vs. Professor of Statistics at Cornell University with Specialties in Medicine and Philosophy of Science

May 11, 2021

Influenza cases in the USA, 2016-20212016-2017: 29 million2017-2018: 45 million2018-2019: 36 million2019-2020: 38 million2020-2021: 0.0015 millionMasks and distancing work.

Actually, they don’t. Covid cases in the USA, 2020-2021

2020-2021: 32 million Ignore the corrupt scientists. There is absolutely no question anymore. Covid is the freaking flu -Ann Barnhardt[https://www.barnhardt.biz/2021/04/16/covid-is-the-freaking-flu/]

Yesterday, Steve Skojec’s One Peter Five got the non-science or non-medical expert Joseph Seifert to promote the COVID and DeathVax after ironically saying”:

“It should be noted that it is not Prof. Seifert’s purpose here, nor ours, to evaluate the efficacy, safety, or advisability of these vaccines for reasons related to the nature of their mechanism of action and accelerated release. Those remain open questions with cause for both caution and concern.” [https://onepeterfive.com/pro-life-catholic-philosopher-josef-seifert-speaks-out-on-coronavirus-vaccine/]

After this amusing disclaimer by the ideologically COVID pro-lockdown Skojec’s website, Seifert who has no expertise in medicine or science claims “ideological dispute overshadows scientific and moral discussion of the issue” then ideologically says:

For example, the claims that COVID-19 is in fact a mild cold that can be successfully cured with vitamin C and aspirin, or the claim that the large amount of deaths worldwide associated with COVID-19[1] is in fact a big lie, cannot be decided on political or rhetorical grounds. To make such claims that contradict results of rigorous examination of facts does not contribute to the scientific discussion, but misrepresents facts.

The moral aspect of the issue is similarly misrepresented, apart from such voices as the clear, sober and concise study by Professor Roberto de Mattei entitled On the Moral Liceity of the Vaccination (Fiducia, April 2021, available in different languages). To date, no one has refuted it. The only critiques that I am aware of (published at LifeSiteNews and by Christopher Ferrara at Catholic Family News) are written largely from a political and polemical perspective. But I fear that by lending an unequivocal moral voice to the polemical political discussion, these critiques will confuse and misinform their readers, as well as risk damaging the credibility of the pro-life movement, which has been so hard-earned over many years.[https://onepeterfive.com/pro-life-catholic-philosopher-josef-seifert-speaks-out-on-coronavirus-vaccine/]

Today, Skojec’s non-expert in medicine or science was answered by renowned statistician Dr. William Briggs who is a consultant and adjunct Professor of Statistics at Cornell University with specialties in medicine and philosophy of science:

BURDEN OF PROOF

I remind readers that we skeptics have no burden whatsoever to prove that mask mandates and lockdowns don’t work, or even that experimental vaccines don’t cause harm. We have prima facie evidence that, indeed, masks and lockdowns are useless and that these rushed-to-production vaccines do cause more harm than usual. 

Where is the definitive proof, and refutations of the evidence we possess, for masks and lockdowns? It does not exist.

There is a paper going around from Experts at MIT saying, in the same way journalist say it, that only certified opinion should count in the mask debate. Hello, Appeal to Authority! (It’s way funnier than that. It amounts to them saying, “Random dudes on the internet know more than we do: how do we stop them?”

There is also Nicholas Wade’s work providing solid, but not definitive, evidence the coronadoom was indeed lab engineered, for use in so-called gain-of-function experiments.

This update is already too long to get both of those things, which we’ll do another day.

VEXED

Nothing says “effective, safe vaccine” more than celebrities, elites, Experts, rulers, officials, quacks, and nitwit reporters screaming at you, telling you how stupid you are, swearing at you, giving you the finger, or even offering you free beer and credit at school, with the rest cajoling, wheedling, castigating, and, finally, forbidding you freedom if you refuse to comply. 

As some foaming-at-the-mouth media hack shrieks “TAKE YOUR MEDICINE!”, you think to yourself, “Boy, that must be one miracle drug.”

Is it any wonder people become anti-vaxxers? That the least of us (arrogant Experts etc.) treat people like something that needs scraping off their shoes makes it rational to distrust what they’re selling. 

It’s worse than that. Obviously, if the costs outweigh the benefits of the vaccines, then these Experts have blood on their hands when they manage to coerce somebody into taking a vaccine they shouldn’t have taken. But also, suppose the benefits of these experimental vaccines really do outweigh their costs. Then because the boorish and ludicrous behavior of Experts cause people to forgo the vaccine, then the Experts are responsible for killing people. Either way, Experts acting like jackasses causes harm.

All vaccines cause harm. They are designed to. They force your body to react as if it was being attacked, which it is, by the vaccine, so that your body might better fend off stronger attacks. Again I say, causing harm is what vaccines are designed to do on the age-old theory no pain, no gain.

Many, and perhaps even all (numbers, as we’ll see, are hard to come by), vaccines cause so much harm that some die from the vaccine. Not just the coronadoom vaccines, but all of them.

So there’s a risk of either death or great, measurable harm to all vaccines. There’s also a risk of death or great, measurable harm from the diseases the vaccine are for. People, not Experts, have to choose between these risks. [https://wmbriggs.com/post/35617/]

Lawyer and journalist Chris Ferrera put it best:

“Meanwhile, the Catholic commentators who have lent credence to this farce – we all know who they are – should have enough honesty to hang their heads in shame for the way they led the faithful, by fear, into the jaws of tyranny.”

On October 10, 2020, Rocco Galati, who is a Constitutional Lawyer and the Executive Director (Founder) of the Constitutional Rights Centre Inc. (CRC), tweeted “uncontroverted facts about mortality rate of Covid-19”:

Rocco Galati@roccogalatilaw
Must repeat the uncontroverted facts about mortality rate of Covid-19. It is, in Canada, a 99.976% survival rate. Where’s the “epidemic”(pandemic)? which is defined by WHO/CDC as: when 7% of those infected die. That would be a 93% survival rate. We are, at 99.976%—the flu. twitter.com/FatEmperor/sta…  Here is a great image of the mind of a Catholic media brainwashed COVID believer from pundit Ann Barnhardt’s blog:  https://www.barnhardt.biz/2020/08/26/the-mass-insanity-in-one-image/

Stop for a moment of silence, ask Jesus Christ what He want you to do next. Make this a practice. By doing this you are doing more good than reading anything here or anywhere else on the Internet

Francis Notes:

– Doctor of the Church St. Francis de Sales totally confirmed beyond any doubt the possibility of a heretical pope and what must be done by the Church in such a situation:

“[T]he Pope… WHEN he is EXPLICITLY a heretic, he falls ipso facto from his dignity and out of the Church, and the Church MUST either deprive him, or, as some say, declare him deprived, of his Apostolic See.”
(The Catholic Controversy, by St. Francis de Sales, Pages 305-306)

Saint Robert Bellarmine, also, said “the Pope heretic is not deposed ipso facto, but must be declared deposed by the Church.”

Flashback: “Violence in Northern Mexico is not stopping at the Border… it is the Drug- and People-Traffickers against each other”

May 10, 2021

June 18, 2007According to the Inside Tucson Business “[v]iolence in northern Mexico is not stopping at the [USA]border.” And the”[t]he only action we see is toward integrating Mexico into the U.S. and Canada.” This is the secretive Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) to make a United States of North America.

War is coming to Tucson

Posted: Friday, May 25, 2007 – 02:19:33 pm MDT

You are not going to like what I have to say today. But it must be said, out loud. People are whispering about it now, but if we don’t face up to it, it will only get worse.

The violent incident in Cananea, Sonora, has hit the consciousness of Tucson squarely between the eyes. Northern Mexico is in a state of war. Who is fighting? That’s hard to say. Officially, it is the drug- and people-traffickers against each other and the government. But in Mexico, you can’t tell the players even with a program. You cannot assume the police or the Army are loyal to their commands. Many are working on their own.

In case you were out of town two weeks ago, about 50 armed men drove into Cananea and killed five policemen and two other residents. The men fled into the hills with police and soldiers in pursuit. In subsequent gunfights, 16 more were killed.

The U.S. State Department has issued a travel announcement saying narcotics-related “violence by criminal elements affects many parts of the country.”

It is not too much to say there is a war going on right across the border. It’s not a hot war with firefights all the time. It is not a cold war, either, with posturing and press releases. Let’s call it a warm war. Violence breaks out from time to time for reasons unknown to us, but completely unpredictable.

And here’s the part you don’t want to hear. Violence has spread across the border and has resulted in several deaths of Americans residents and visitors. Most such crimes are reported as isolated incidents. But the violence in northern Mexico is not stopping at the border. It’s headed this way and a lot of Tucsonans know it.

It is crossing the border because there is little to stop it. The Border Patrol is in virtual rebellion against its supervisors. They have felt betrayed by prosecution of some of them for what they see as doing their job. Union Local 2544 of the Border Patrol has published its position of “no confidence” in supervisory and command personnel. They have called a meeting (members only) for June 13 to consider their options.

You can’t learn about it in most media, but the whispers around town are people saying they are thinking of getting out. It looks like war and it’s coming here. [http://azbiz.com/articles/2007/05/25/lionel_waxman/lionel.txt]

The Meaning Of Linguistic Politics May 11, 2021 Catholic League president Bill Donohue comments on what is driving changes in the way we discourse: The left has always been convinced that they have some gnostic calling, often manifested in utopian ideas, to change society. That is why they have no ethical problem imposing their beliefs on society. What drives them is an insatiable appetite for power: They want to control the way we think and act. The meaning of linguistic politics is thought control. Its purpose is to get people to adopt a new mindset, one that mirrors the politics of elites. The consequences are far reaching. Those who control our words control our thoughts, and our thoughts influence our behavior. They know what they are doing. Today’s brand of journalists and educators are masterful practitioners of thought control. They are convinced that it is their job to  have us talk the talk. Their talk. In the 1980s, I remember a faculty colleague of mine who objected to what someone said, though he did not take issue with the content of what was said. He objected to the “negative” phrasing. At the time I thought what he said was strange. No longer—I’m used to it. Indeed, not a day goes by without Orwell being validated. The Associated Press (AP) publishes a stylebook that is used by many journalists, inside and outside of AP. Its 55th edition, 2020-2022, contains more than 200 new and revised entries. Among the changes are calling the homeless “people without homes” or “people without housing.” To call them “homeless,” the linguistic masters insist, is “dehumanizing.” We must rid our vocabulary of such terms as “insane,” “crazy/crazed,” “nuts” or “deranged.” The elites have determined that these words are “derogatory.” Similarly, we should not use the term “defund the police,” and that is because it “is sometimes misrepresented as abolishing police.” So what should we say when those who explicitly demand the abolition of the police endorse defunding the police? The masters do not say. Under the Biden administration, customs and immigration agents are no longer allowed to call illegal aliens by their proper name. What is even more bizarre, they cannot call them “undocumented aliens.” So what should we call those who crash our borders? “Undocumented noncitizen.” Also, we cannot speak about assimilation anymore: We must use the word “integration.” Homosexual activists are very good at promoting thought control. They are still harassing Jack Phillips, the Christian owner of Masterpiece Cake Shop. He has never turned down a customer who wanted to buy one of his cakes on the basis of the person’s race, ethnicity, religion, sex, sexual orientation, and the like. Everyone is treated equally. But when Phillips was asked to make a cake celebrating the “marriage” of two men, he refused. Had he done so he would have sanctioned behavior he could not  in good conscience accept. He was sued; he won in the U.S. Supreme Court. Now he is back in Colorado courts again, this time because he refused to custom a cake celebrating someone’s sex transitioning. The campuses are alive with invoking punitive measures against students who dare to challenge the reigning linguistic politics. “If I’m a man, and I think I’m a woman, I’m still a man. If I’m a woman who thinks I’m a man, I’m still a woman.” As recently as 20 years ago, no one would have regarded this as anything but commonsensical. Now it’s controversial. The student who said this was suspended at the State University of New York Genesco. CNN recently showed its brilliance when it declared that “it’s not possible to know a person’s gender identity at birth, and there is no consensus criteria for assigning sex at birth.” This is a remarkable statement. Are the deep thinkers at CNN aware that the sex of the baby can be known while he is developing in his mother’s womb? Moreover, no one is ever “assigned” his or her sex—it is determined by the father and acknowledged by hospital employees.   These instances demonstrate that linguistic politics is very much an expression of postmodernism. To be exact, it is a frontal assault on truth. Educators are its most rabid advocates. I recall a meeting of the academic senate at the college where I worked where one of the faculty members took umbrage at the idea that there was such a thing as “correct” spelling. He called it “logocentrism.” I looked around the room and noted that some of my colleagues appeared to agree with him. I then asked if he would object if the finance office were to issue his paycheck with his name and address scrambled. Only a few of us thought it was funny. Now there are educators in California who insist that there is no such thing as “correct” math,” saying it is “racist” to think otherwise. Perhaps we can scramble the numbers in their paycheck as well, the first numeric being a zero. The more the masters of linguistic politics push, the more we need to push back. We have common sense on our side. More important, we have truth on our side.
