The flame-like tip may be a reference to a comet or asteroid that precipiates a pole shift. (See UNPRECEDENTED Comet C/2017 K2-‘Comet K2’)<br /><br />Perhaps a pole shift induces global seismic and volcanic convulsions that would inevitably affect the British Isles and the entire Atlantic Basin with a mega-tsunami.<br /><br />Elysium was an agrarian-based society not suited to the tropical climate and precipitous geology of the Canaries which instead abound with banana plantations. The Isles of the Blessed may also be a reference the British (Hebrew translation-Covenant People) and more specifically to the Celtic peoples whom remain an unsolved mystery.<br /><br />It is possible the location of Atlantis is the entire vastness of Americas which were once connected by land bridges to the British Isles as well as between the east coast of South America and the west coast of Africa supported by subsea archaeology.<br /><br />The connections are provocative and deserve much more research before arriving at any solid conclusions to resolve the intrigue.<br /><br />Our current history of the world has been jaded...INVERTED by revision which underlies a concerted effort by dark forces that maintain their dominance over this world...BY WAY OF DECEPTION. We will have no grasp of how we arrived at the present, much less have any clue of our future until we have a clear and unadulterated knowledge of the past. <br />Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16785877226304194761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-33314751503385815092016-07-15T07:22:51.892+01:002016-07-15T07:22:51.892+01:00p.s.

Some of my remarks may sound socialist, but I can assure anyone that I follow everything set out in The Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church, http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/pontifical_councils/justpeace/documents/rc_pc_justpeace_doc_20060526_compendio-dott-soc_en.html, and in such things such as first set out in 1891 by Pope Leo XIII in Rerum novarum, things such as Catholics being bound to support strong and unimpeded trade unions, that is is deeply immoral for any employer to pay each worker anything less than a "living wage", which means that a single person working a full-time job should have enough to take care of a family the size of three children as well as their spouse, be able to save for things such as their children's full educations, a retirement, and enough to cover any unexpected medical expenses, something that would condemn almost every employer in the Western industrialized world in the way they treat at least some of their employees.<br /><br />Many people think of the things Leo XIII and every single other Pope since then that has re-affirmed his critical encyclical as "socialist" in nature, as well as more current Popes who have introduced (or more accurately, clarified) such concepts as the preferential option for the poor, which calls on law makers when passing any new legislation to test it; if said law does not work for the benefit of the poor, but rather for richer people (i.e. more tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy who are the richest on the planet based on purely inherited wealth and assets), then that law is immoral, and the legislators responsible for its passage into law are themselves acting immoral, etc. <br /><br />Again, even though the above things are often labelled as socialist by many people, they are rather part of the teachings of the Church on social issues (to many far right-wing Catholics great surprise I suppose...).Jason R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08096932934041161725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-12781290056860088372016-07-15T06:46:59.583+01:002016-07-15T06:46:59.583+01:00cont...

Free trade and immigration have greatly increased America's GDP, but the worker's whose jobs were the price of the higher GDP growth haven't had any new jobs to replace them. This is why only 63% of Americans are even in the job market, why great centers of American manufacturing like Akron, Ohio are now into their third generation of former industrial working people living without ever having had a job of any kind, and why only 1 in every 4 Americans right now has a full-time job with benefits.<br /><br />So it's rather easy to see in a sense that the effects of currency wars can be as devastating to a country, America in my example, as a hot guns-and-bullets war can be. And not just with off-shoring of jobs, but the jobs made obsolete by technological advance (i.e. robotics, that are now even moving from the factory floor to our roads and highways, with semi drivers, bus drivers, etc. expected to be completely replaced by AI-driven vehicles within a generation; what jobs are going to replace these ones lost? If the last 25 to 30 years of American history are something to go by, no jobs will replace them and workers in the transportation sector will join the ranks of the ever growing structurally unemployed.<br /><br />It's a fact that transcends the usually left or right political paradigm that almost all GDP growth is going to the top 1/10th of 1% of the people in Western economies, that the poor and middle class (what middle class is left there is) are not receiving any of the vast benefits of globalization, and that this is unsustainable and will eventually lead to another Great Depression if governments don't come up with a solution. Either the ultra-rich need to stop their campaign against paying taxes by hiding almost all income off-shore and also stop their campaign of wage suppression against any class lower than their own, or gov'ts are going to have to implement some sort of universal basic income, because jobs are disappearing because of globalization and no new jobs are coming in to replace them. America has become a nation where 3/4 of people work multiple McJobs with zero benefits and no chance of retiring someday. This same 3/4 of all Americans in recent widespread polling were unable to scrape together even $400 over a period of 3 months to pay for an imaginary emergency like a health problem or needing to get a car fixed... the greed of the ultra-rich notwithstanding, to a large extent this is because of China's 30 year battle via a currency war with the West.Jason R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08096932934041161725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-5977502798624850602016-07-15T06:46:25.352+01:002016-07-15T06:46:25.352+01:00I am very late in commenting, but better late than...I am very late in commenting, but better late than never. You are absolutely correct Mark W. regarding the wars over relative currency right now. Though I don't work in the field anymore, I have a bachelor's degree in finance with a second major in economics with a comp. sci. bachelor's degree in science, I still follow these things with more of an interest and perhaps understanding of the average person.<br /><br />The biggest impact of currency wars/currency manipulation is that of China artificially keeping their currency way, way lower than it would be if the invisible hand of the market were to set China's exchange rates of the yuan. Why China keeps the yuan so artificially low is to boost it's exports, which are relatively more cheap when the yuan is low. China has been doing this ever since it was allowed to join the IMF, and personally I think they should have had their membership in the IMF revoked many years ago if it was put to them to stop manipulating its currency by so much.<br /><br />Generally speaking, the lower your currency the better for your exports, and the relatively bigger your currency is, the more that country will import goods whether than building things in the country itself, so a high currency generally is very bad for GDP growth. One of the biggest problems in the US is that whenever their is instability ion international markets investors run to the US dollar (a perfect current example is how after the UK's Brexit decision, the value of the US dollar skyrocketed while the pound, euro, and even the Canadian dollar where I live sank even further against the US dollar.<br /><br />For me personally, this means I will be buying less things online that come from the US and won't cross the border to shop because the weak Canadian dollar makes it way more expensive. With the energy sector in Canada really in the tank right now, the upside is that our petro-linked currency is very low as a result, so manufacturers and other exporters in Eastern Canada will benefit immensely (it might surprise many Americans to find out that Canada is by far their biggest trading partner in the world). Of course, this doesn't help Western Canada much which is suffering economically very much. We used to, in the West that is, be able to rely on bigger and more lucrative grain exports when the dollar was low, but getting grain to market has become a nightmare since a Conservative government sold the Canadian Wheat Board (a marketing group that helped farmers with pricing and getting their grain to their customers) to Saudi Arabia of all countries... I know farmers personally that have had 3 or 4 bumper crops in a row over the last 4 years with all that wheat and canola slowly rotting in bins because they can't book space on either of our national railways to get their crops to market via Vancouver's shipyards.<br /><br />Jason R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08096932934041161725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-53168264113746157112016-04-09T15:49:58.498+01:002016-04-09T15:49:58.498+01:00Mark W.

Jim Rickards is probably the most prominent voice. They say that currency wars eventually evolve into hot wars. The economic leaders often turn to war to cover over the problems they create. <br /><br />If Russia is part of prophecy, I would not be at all surprised if our current economic situation kinda "pushes" Russia toward conflict.<br /><br />Just a thought.Mark Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15138095328541163796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-62433599989082247932016-04-09T01:25:25.020+01:002016-04-09T01:25:25.020+01:00...cont

But Russia will definitely be an essential part of the Minor Chastisement brought upon us by our own sinful nature and hardened hearts against following the teachings of the Church (e.g. over 80% of practicing Catholics on a world average use birth-control, as just one example, which I wrote above, has as it's consequence a dearth of new workers to replace older ones, which will be a major demographic problem which may in part precipitate any conflict, which could yet be a very poignant sign of the "chickens coming back home to roost" due to our disobedience.<br /><br />But even is an Islamist regional hegemon doesn't ally itself with Russia, no matter how battered Russia is, her arsenal is still there with nothing to stop it to being put to use, with the chances of them happening increasing every day that Russia sees its relative power weakening and its population and economy shrinking. If the US were taken off the international stage because of the disaster of the mega-tsunami, Putin or a like-minded successor would probably act in a matters of months, if not weeks, to invade Europe. It doesn't matter who is in charge in Russia, it's a simple matter of the geopolitical imperative which it's resources, natural geography and its boundaries, etc. place upon it.<br /><br />I know Our Lord gave as His advice time and again, "Be not afraid", but knowing these things is enough to keep one up all night unable to sleep if you consider how close to all of these things we are, possible very close chronologically, that *could* come to pass as conditional prophecies, and it sure doesn't seem like the Apostasy has turned around any. Even the Pope, though he did not introduce anything new, even his statement about divorced and remarried Catholic in relation to the Eucharist this wekk, it is an ideological "foot-in-the-door" that made my heart feel very heavy.Jason R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08096932934041161725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-26670177636061259042016-04-09T01:25:02.356+01:002016-04-09T01:25:02.356+01:00...cont
And also the threat of an especially huge......cont<br /><br />And also the threat of an especially huge-big, or specially-designed, nuclear weapon whose main purpose is to generate one huge electromagnetic pulse. The right bomb exploded at high altitude, just one bomb, could fry every electronic circuit in an area as big as North America. If such thing occurred, even from a natural but especially huge EMP from an intense enough solar flare from our Sun, it is estimated by no less than the United States government (both the military and other agencies that deal with emergencies and civil unrest) that approximately 9 out of 10 Americans and Canadians would be dead of starvation and disease within one year of such an electromagnetic pulse occurring because our food transportation systems have become so complex, with food traveling incredible distances to make it to the typical plate. Our entire society is so reliant on electronics in almost every device one could think of that it's difficult to fathom how deeply effected we'd be, or any other area of the world, such as Europe, from an EMP-weapon. Even rogue and unpredictable states such as North Korea are close to being able to deliver and detonate an EMP-weapon over N. America.<br /><br />So Russia will have plenty of ways of attacking Europe and/or America, whether they would be any America to finish off after the chastisement of a mega-tsuanmi, or much of the Atlantic European nations either. But I believe, as strange as it sounds since they have been such long term and bitter enemies, that Russia and a Turkish-led Islamic super-state may find common cause and both invade Europe at the same time, with the Turks invading through their traditional route over the Bosporus and through the Balkans, while the Russians would attack through and across the wide Northern European plain north of the Carpathians.<br /><br />Jason R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08096932934041161725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-2466461634225444422016-04-09T01:24:19.023+01:002016-04-09T01:24:19.023+01:00p.s.

To Emmett, I most certainly agree with you vus-a-vas Russia being the instrument through which Our Lord will chastise this world as indicated at Fatima and through countless prophecies of Saints, Blessseds, and Venerables throughout the ages.<br /><br />Russia has their demographic troubles' their shrinking population, the population crunch with a heavy-ended elderly population (the baby-boomers as they are referred to here) as a result primarily of the scourge of abortion and birth-control hand-in-hand along with not enough workers to sustain the elderly demographic in the next coming generations, the same problem will be playing out in the West just as well, and there will not be enough immigrants available world-wide anymore to satisfy the demand to fill the demographic "hole" that abortion and birth-control have created, and the economic crisis that will accompany it.<br /><br />It seems strange when it is much in the news how countries do not want immigrants whereas in the coming decades modern, industrialized countries will be fighting over who gets them, and will even be offering incentives to attack foreign labourers. It is already happening where I live in Canada where many tens of thousands of workers are brought here as TFWs (temporary foreign workers).<br /><br />So Russia won't be alone in her problem of a drastically reduced population; Germany and France are experiencing the same crisis, as are all of the world's top economies, even in Asia, which we think of overly crowded often, in both Japan and South Korea.<br /><br />No matter how Russia may fall economically and in terms of population, the next age of warfare will be carried out in as different a way as between the First World War vs. the Second World War, if not even moreso. Hypersonic weapons able to travel 10X the speed of sound, weapons from space, Russia's nuclear arsenal (which is not going anywhere, but which they are still evolving and adapting as was seen with that nuclear torpedo capable of producing a mega-tsunami all on it's own in a man-made way), and above all, through the use of biological weapons.<br /><br />Both scripture and prophecy place a big emphasis on "pestilence" that I think many of us tend to overlook. I believe the only interpretation of the widespread pestilence predicted and what part of the planet's population it will take can only refer to biological weapons, weapons that could include such monstrosities such as, say, an airborne-transmitted hybrid of the flu and ebola virus which could be designed to have nothing that could stop it, with no known antidote or antibiotic available... by design. Could you imagine something like the 1918-19 Spanish Influenza epidemic that killed so many millions, but that had ebola spliced in? Just contemplating it feels to chill my very blood in my veins.<br /><br />Jason R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08096932934041161725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-70590931767204800052016-04-08T19:01:20.008+01:002016-04-08T19:01:20.008+01:00Hi Sam,

Baba Vanga seems to have been pretty vague, and people have to read a lot into what she said. There's a reason they call her the "Nostradamus of the Balkans" - Nostradamus was really vague as well.<br /><br />My idea comes from economics and politics more than anything else. It would be very long to try to explain it all, but economically speaking the West is really short on options right now; there are a few, but they're all very risky with seriously negative prospects. One good shove and the western economic model collapses, and with it our way of life (at least, in general terms). I don't think we have the overall strength of will to survive a 1929 style collapse and a bigger depression than the Great Depression. We're too divided. <br /><br />Odds are, we fracture in a pretty fundamental way. And in so doing, we follow some of the prophecies that Emmett has mentioned.Mark Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15138095328541163796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-49239300228526265962016-04-08T15:22:01.529+01:002016-04-08T15:22:01.529+01:00Is this same April 19th the same day the Temple O...Is this same April 19th the same day the Temple Of Baal In New York is going up and the same day the blood sacrifice to the beast begins?

It is pretty grainy, but here's a link to the pictures (they are a little grainy, we have kind of a shrine I guess you might call it on our piano where we say our prayers with the kids).

April 19 to May 1 is also known as a period of "blood sacrifice to the beast" and requires a "fire sacrifice on April 19".<br /><br />Rosaries on the 19th, anyone?Mark Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15138095328541163796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-81316424140117993982016-04-07T16:47:42.948+01:002016-04-07T16:47:42.948+01:00

And its always good to bring up discussion. The author of the book you mention does seem to know his stuff. Islam will definitely be galvanised somewhat considerably by the downfall of the US. But I think Russia will be the most to benefit, and a Russian takeover of Europe as foreseen by Blessed Elena Aeillo will be the most likely scenario. Our Lady warned Sr. Lucia that Russia will be the instrument of God's chastisement, and I don't see any reason to suggest that this has changed, or that its capacity to present such a threat has completely subsided.<br /><br />Anon - Yes, that appears to be another significant factor. There has been some further light shed on the prophecy of Pope Leo XIII by a recently published book. I hope to put up a post on this subject soon.Emmett O'Reganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01043723932377194248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-67895156869794529872016-04-07T01:21:44.715+01:002016-04-07T01:21:44.715+01:00I know this is a change of subject but I am referr...I know this is a change of subject but I am referring back to an earlier article on the Sacred Heart. I read the comment section last night in bed and was unable at the time to write a response. Many readers were speculating on the beginning/end of the 100 year reign of Satan granted to him by the Lord Jesus Christ. <br /><br />I don't think anyone mentioned it but Margaret Sanger and her sister opened the first birth control clinic in the United States on October 16, 1916. The Miracle of the Sun occurred one year later on October 13th, 1917. You may recall that an angel appeared to Lucia in the year before the apparitions began but I don't think she ever gave a date (I don't think she was sure of the date). Is it possible this angel appeared on the date of the opening of this clinic or on the 13th of that month/year? <br /><br />Irrespective of that speculation, it seems to me the 100 years began with the final battle between life and anti-life, between heaven and hell, when Mary appeared at Fatima and Satan initiated a culture of death.

I think it was Emmett that pointed out ...Hi Jason,<br /><br />I think it was Emmett that pointed out the millenarian points of that prophecy, not me. <br /><br />I read through the posts on the Turk. <br /><br />First off, I hope Emmett won’t remove them. This kind of thing is important. The whole arena of prophecies that bring us to this site are going to be played out in the world around us. So the information posted about “purely secular” news like this is valid because of its potential connection to prophecy. Pontius Pilate was a purely secular guy, but Christ himself said, “Thou shouldst not have any power against me, unless it were given thee from above.” (DRB) The Turk is the same way – any power they have to make mischief relative to the chastisement will come in much the same way Pilate’s came.<br /><br />Second, I think one thing is economically certain – Russia’s collapse, if it happens, will be economically triggered. Right now, I’m watching the economic situation pretty closely. Odds are good that the trigger will be in some way related to China, but it could be just about anything. The catch is, it will be global in nature, so the U.S., Canada, Western Europe – Turkey – Russia, et alia ad infinitum – will all suffer under the economic fall. <br /><br />I do think it’s interesting that the Turk and the Saudi’s cozied-up to one another so much when the Russians were in Syria, and that all that cozy talk died away after the Russians pulled out. <br /><br />A lot of things depend on how bad the economic situation gets. One economist (Jim Rickards), says that it will be survivable just as it was in the 70's, but gold will be trading at $10,000 to $50,000 (USD) once the reset is done. Another financial expert (Robert Kiyosaki) says we’ll be reduced to canabilism or starvation. The reality is likely somewhere between those extremes, but you get the idea. But Turkey won’t be immune to this, whatever form or depth it takes.<br /><br />I worked closely with a guy from Lebenon many years ago. He pointed out that the Arab world had not had a decent leader since Saladin (an exaggeration, but you get the idea that it’s been a long time). He did mention that if the Middle East were ever graced with a strong, good and charismatic leader, it would united around him and become a real force only then. I don’t see Erdogan as such a leader, or he would have pulled them together by now. I don’t see al-Baghdadi as such a leader either (though he may be closer than Erdogan). So someone else must be out there.<br /><br />And I still wouldn’t be surprised if the economic collapse was this year or next, and I’ve said for 8 years now that we may not get to the next election here in the U.S. We’ll see.<br /><br />But as far as I’m concerned, keep posting, Jason!<br />Mark Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15138095328541163796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767475475753279918.post-51432125620452330372016-04-06T18:02:49.411+01:002016-04-06T18:02:49.411+01:00Chris - Yes, I've heard that.
