Spy Balloon FINALLY Shot Down

The big white balloon entered American airspace on Saturday, Jan. 28, near the Aleutian Islands at the southern tip of Alaska. We have nine military bases in Alaska. (Two are in Anchorage, so the markers overlap.) I’m pretty darned sure our people spotted the damn thing while it was still over the Atlantic and tracked it carefully from the get go.

For two days, the balloon was over U.S. waters and zero-to-barely populated Alaskan air space carrying what U.S. officials believed were surveillance cameras powered by solar panels.

On Monday, Jan. 30, it entered Canadian airspace in freaking British Columbia where it again passed over zero-to-scarcely populated land. I’m sorry, but aren’t the Canadians supposed to be our allies?!

On Tuesday, Jan. 31, the balloon crossed back into U.S. airspace over northern Idaho. U.S. officials reportedly considered shooting it down, but decided not to risk injuring people on the ground. Seriously? Our military can accurately shoot down a falling satellite. I think they could’ve figured out how to take that balloon down safely over all those unpopulated mountains.

On Wednesday, Feb. 1, it floated over Malmstrom Air Force Base, where several nuclear missile silos are located.

So yeah … let’s not shoot it down over the Pacific Ocean OR over nobody-lives-there Alaska OR over nobody-lives-there British Columbia OR over FREAKING nobody-lives-there IDAHO. Let’s WAIT until it gets a chance to photograph our NUCLEAR missile silos up close.

According to Gen. Mark Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, FAUXTUS didn’t ask for military options until Wednesday, FIVE DAYS AFTER IT FIRST ENTERED OUT TERRITORY! At that point he told them to shoot it down … but not until it was over the ATLANTIC. IOW, after it had had a good, long peep at us all the way from sea to shining sea. Calling this administration a clown show is an insult to clowns.

On Friday, the balloon passed over Kansas and Missouri. At this point, China’s Foreign Ministry issued a statement claiming it was just a rogue weather balloon that had strayed from its intended course by mistake. Funny thing how it managed to “accidentally” pass right over our nuclear missile silos in Montana.

Pentagon spokesperson Brig. Gen. Patrick Ryder said, “We know that it’s a surveillance balloon, and I’m not going to be able to be more specific than that. We do know that the balloon has violated U.S. airspace and international law, which is unacceptable.” … NOT unacceptable enough to do something about it when it was over the damned Pacific Ocean!

On Saturday, Feb. 4, the balloon was spotted over Asheville and Charlotte, North Carolina, where LEOs warned citizens not to take pot shots at it. “It’s flying at 60,000+ feet. Don’t try to shoot it!! Your rifle rounds WILL NOT reach it. Be responsible. What goes up will come down, including your bullets.”

At about 2:39 p.m. EST, an F-22 Air Force fighter fired a missile into balloon as it crossed the South Carolina coast. CLICK https://twitter.com/ashlynforsc/status/1621956652688711682 to see a civilian video. Military personnel are gathering the debris from the ocean.

It makes me so sad and angry for our honorable troops who have to work for the Chinese puppet in the White House and his corrupt appointees at the Pentagon.

CHICOMS: I was gonna ask why the spy balloon(s) haven’t been shot down yet … but then I remembered who is in the White House.

MASKS: The highly regarded Cochrane Library has just published a meta-analysis of 78 randomized controlled trials regarding the effectiveness of physical interventions in reducing the spread of respiratory viruses. The Slime Stream Media has ignored it, probably because it shows the absurdity of mandating universal face masking.

While immunocompromised or medically vulnerable individuals may benefit personally from wearing masks during cold and flu season, there is no evidence that forcing everyone to do so has any impact at all. In addition, a very large study of healthcare workers providing direct care to COVID-19 patients showed little difference between surgical masks and N95 masks.

PROJECT VERITAS: [9:59] – PV has now released its third video on the CRT scam “Teaching Lab” that used non-profit grant money to develop a for profit curriculum, written by sales people who have no teaching experience and who hate kids, that is designed to covertly teach CRT in states that have banned it. The previous two are embedded at the links below.

CANADA: Just hours before the nation checked in with its official groundhog – Fred La Marmotte – he was found dead in his burrow.

FAUXTUS: CLICK https://twitter.com/greg_price11/status/1621242276897820673 [:08] to hear him say, “More than half the women in my administration are women.”

IRELAND: This tiny nation began its COVID-19 jab program in January 2021. By mid-February, over 80% of the 18+ population had received both doses, with another 10% having had one dose. With such wide coverage, one might suppose that, if the mRNA serum worked as advertised, the death rate would either return to its 2019 level or else drop lower, owing to the numbers of elderly who had died prematurely from the virus. Instead, the numbers of deaths in Ireland has continued to climb. In January 2023, with 42% more deaths than in pre-pandemic January 2019, the bodies have piled up so quickly that mortuaries and coroner’s offices have run out of room to store them.

LAPTOP from HELL: In order to ask state and federal agencies to go after people who are using laptop finds to tarnish the Biden family and administration, Hunter has finally had to admit that it was, indeed, his laptop.

MALTA: These two independent journalists have been charged with advertising conversion therapy in violation of Article 3 of Malta’s “Affirmation of Sexual Orientation, Gender and Gender Expression Act.” The offense carries €5,000 in fines or up to five months in prison.

According to a transcript of the interview, Grech never invited anyone to attend therapy to change their sexual orientation or gender identity. He merely talked about how and why he decided to leave the homosexual lifestyle.

NEW JERSEY: On Wednesday, Eunice Dwumfour (30) was found shot dead outside her Sayreville home. The New Jersey Republican Party remembered the councilwoman for her “steadfast dedication to the community, as well as her deep and abiding Christian faith.”

NEW YUCK: The SUNY Board of Trustees has voted that, beginning in Fall 2023, all State University of New York System (SUNY) students will be required to take Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Social Justice classes (aka, Marxist identity politics) as part of their general education.

Faculty that doesn’t agree will be subjected to reeducation. To be fair, I was subjected to this crap in multiple classes when I attended SUNY-Binghamton (Class of 1976). It just wasn’t condensed into a single course and required. But I also had really good professors who kept politics out of their lectures. I’m guessing that won’t be allowed going forward.

OHIO: A fully intact male who claims to identify as a female has been charged with public indecency for allegedly parading around naked in the women’s locker room of a YMCA in the presence of minor girls. The charges cover three separate incidents that were reported by three different people. In the third incident, at least three young girls were present while he exposed his junk. The YMCA says their locker room guidelines ask people to “remain properly covered while in public areas of the locker room.”

OMAR: House Republicans won the vote to remove Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) from the chamber’s Foreign Affairs Committee. The Dems went batsh*t crazy, screaming that she was targeted for being female, dark skinned, and/or Muslim.

PROJECT VERITAS: James O’Keefe has dropped another piece of the undercover interview with the Pfizer director who said he was just trying to impress a date when he claimed Pfizer was doing “directed evolution” research on the ‘rona virus.

In this clip, he says, “There is something irregular about the menstrual cycles. So, people will have to investigate that down the line. That is a little concerning, because the [COVID] vaccine shouldn’t be interfering with that [menstrual cycles].”

“I hope we don’t find out that somehow this mRNA lingers in the body and like — because it has to be affecting something hormonal to impact menstrual cycles. … I hope we don’t discover something really bad down the line. … I mean, the scale of that scandal would be enormous.”

The video is embedded at the link below.

The speech was apparently written by a Kindergarten teacher: “Which brings me to May 30, 2020. Bob and Doug returned to the Kennedy Space Center. They suited up. They waved to their families, and they rode an elevator up nearly 20 stories. They strapped in to their seats and waited as the tanks beneath filled with tens of thousands of gallons of fuel. And then they launched. Yeah, they did.”

VITAMIN D: [14:07] – Dr. John Campbell reports on a new meta-analysis of the effectiveness of Vitamin D supplementation in preventing infection, hospitalization and death not just from the ‘rona virus, but for just about any infection. Despite the vast numbers who are deficient in this vital nutrient, doctors don’t include Vitamin D in standard blood panels. I had to ask my doctor to run it and he warned me I might get a bill. Thankfully, my insurance paid for it.

GOOD HOMILY ON THE BEATITUDES: 7:32 through 15:18.

1A: On January 20, a dozen Catholic high school students and their chaperones were kicked out of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum for refusing to take off and hide their pro-life hats. They say the museum staff mocked and cursed at them and claimed the museum to be a “neutral zone” where political or religious messages are not allowed.

The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) is representing some of the parents who have chosen to sue. ACLJ Executive Director Jordan Sekulow says the staff’s behavior was an example of “outrageous” and “abhorrent” discrimination, particularly given that the Smithsonian Institution is a federal entity that receives upwards of $1 billion from the government each fiscal year.

COVID-19: Check out what appeared in Newsweek, of all places. – “As a medical student and researcher, I staunchly supported the efforts of the public health authorities when it came to COVID-19. I believed that the authorities responded to the largest public health crisis of our lives with compassion, diligence, and scientific expertise. I was with them when they called for lockdowns, vaccines, and boosters. I was wrong. We in the scientific community were wrong. And it cost lives. … “

CRUELEST THING: [10:59] – Tucker Carlson weighs in on the impact of COVID policy, racial division, then transitions into why it looks like Michelle Obama is running for president.

HUNTER BIDEN: I don’t want to report on this. CLICK if you must.

LAPTOP FROM HELL: Hunter wants the feds to go after anyone who has published what was on the computer he abandoned years ago. He also thinks Tucker Carlson should retract and apologize for the mean things he has said about him.

TEL AVIV: A couple was turned away by staff at Israel’s Ben-Gurion airport, because they did not have a boarding pass for their newborn. So they left the baby and attempted to board without it. They are in police custody.

TRANS: Did you know that some mtf trannies shove tomato juice popsicles up their surgically-inverted-penis-coochies? Apparently, “experiencing my period is absolutely essential for completing my femininity!” And here’s me thinking how awesome it is to be done with all the mess and bother of having actual periods. But I’m a ciswoman, so what do I know? CLICK https://www.youtube.com/shorts/4uYh59qCA-M.

In other clown world news, an mtf trannie made a video about going to the hospital to get checked out for breast tenderness, gassiness, bloating, and irritability. The doctor actually diagnosed “PMS.” CLICK https://twitter.com/troonytoons/status/1620809407671177221. The comments are priceless:

“Tenderness in breasts, bloating, irritability, hmm… you don’t think that could be a symptom of high estrogen in men, do you?”

“Young girls during puberty silently deal with their PMS. Male who opted for it hospitalises self, makes video complaining.”

“The prostate releases an egg every 28 days and this can be quite painful. I recommend a heating pad and two Midol.”

“Blood coming out of weird places … misogyny in plain sight.”

“Wants to live as a women but talks about menstruation like a man from the 1950s.”

VAXXX: As news about how abysmal the jab is spreads, demand for the serums has waned. Drug companies are refusing to refund $1.4 billion in prepayments they received for vaxxx shipments that are no longer wanted.

VENTILATORS: By May 2020, the medical community knew between 50% and 86% of COVID-19 patients who were put on vents ended up dying. They also knew that high-flow nasal cannulas and putting patients on their stomachs led to vastly better outcomes. Why then is venting ‘rona patients still the “standard of care”?

“Military operatives in the UK’s ‘information warfare’ brigade were part of a sinister operation that targeted politicians and high-profile journalists who raised doubts about the official pandemic response.

“They compiled dossiers on public figures such as ex-Minister David Davis, who questioned the modelling behind alarming death toll predictions, as well as journalists such as Peter Hitchens and Toby Young. Their dissenting views were then reported back to No 10.” – Mail Online (URL below)

Pray for the Souls in Purgatory

Here are the photos they talk about:

My favorite part of this video is in the comment section:

“In 2010 I was a liturgical pianist for a Catholic church. One Saturday I had to play for the funeral of a woman who I was told was murdered by her boyfriend. The next day, Sunday, I entered the church break room to have coffee before mass. I heard a sorrowful moaning sound to my left. I instantly got the impression of a woman holding her head in pain. The moan occurred again when a group of us were in the break room. Everyone froze. The next Wednesday at choir practice I was alone in the ladies room when the automatic towel dispenser kept activating by itself. That following Saturday I was in the music room getting music, and consistent banging on the metal cabinets started to occur. I then realized that it must be this woman who I had played her funeral for. I immediately went to the Pastor and told him all. He was not surprised- he told me that she had been suddenly shot in the head and died instantly. He said masses and prayers for her soul – and I never heard from her again.”

“My mother died Feb 11 2002. Before she died, I had made a mental promise to offer a 9 day Novena to the Miraculous Medal for her. Family came pouring in, and I had forgotten about it. At her funeral, a pebble seemed to drop out of the ceiling at my feet while I was talking to her best friend. After 4 weeks off from work to care for her with hospice at home, I had to go back to work. On the night before I was to work, at 3am, I was awoken by my mother’s voice calling my name. At the sound of her voice, I immediately realized she was young again – about 30 yrs old. But I heard a harsh growling in the background. Sounded like a demon. Her voice was gentle but urgent. After a while I had to go back to sleep. When I was walking out the front door I saw a very shiny Miraculous Medal lying in the doorstep, right in front of me! I instantly remembered my promise to her. So I made that Novena, I never heard from her again.”

“My mother passed away at the age of 86 about 13 years ago sometime in 2022 I started seeing her face show up in a picture which is not of her that is hanging in my bedroom wall. I have seen her face there for at least five or six months. She’s not bathed in light. She doesn’t look like she’s super happy; she looks like she’s suffering somewhat. I’m getting the impression that she’s in purgatory and needs prayer. This has never happened in my life so I am starting to offer masses for her and increasing my prayers for her.”

“On Christmas Eve morning, I woke up filled with anxiety and a prayer came to me (not from me) …if any of the Holy Souls have benefited from me praying the St Gertrude prayer please pray for me now. The response was immediate…a white tube of light started at the top of my head and traveled down the length of my body and relieved my anxiety as it passed by. I learned that as we pray for the Holy Souls can pray and help us as well. All Glory to God!”

“A good man I’d known quite well visit me about 5 years after his death. It seemed to me that he was not in torment, just in a gray, blah place of nothing much. I understood that he had been stuck there, between death and eternal LIFE. I told him, ‘You have to accept Jesus as your Savior before you can move on.’ He said, ‘Why?’ He and I had once had a deep conversation during which I learned that truth was the most important thing to him. So I just said, ‘Because it’s true.’ He nodded and I stopped seeing him.”

“My father came to me about a year after his death. I wasn’t thinking about him at all. In fact, I was in bed reading a novel when I became aware of him standing with a companion at the end of the bed. He said, ‘I just wanted to let you know I’m okay now.’ Then they both left. That’s all he said, but I understood him to mean that he was done with Purgatory and headed toward Heaven.”

CANARY HOUSING: [1:48] – I have this disease, but am extremely blessed to have safe housing and a husband who takes care of me. Because we know how critical safe housing is for people like me, Dearest has been the volunteer architect for this non-profit for years now. But they’re running out of money. The team of volunteers has put literally years of blood, sweat and tears into buying, gutting, and renovating the first Canary house. When it is finished, it will provide safe rental housing for three chemically-sensitive individuals. If you have any money to spare, I’d greatly appreciate a donation @ https://www.gofundme.com/f/environmentally-safer-housing. I guarantee every penny will go toward getting the house ready for occupancy.

HUNTER’S LAPTOP: There is a note on these reports saying the emails were found on a verified copy of the Laptop From Hell, whose “chain of custody is known and complete.”

  1. On April 13, 2014, just one week before Joe Biden visited Ukraine to meet with then-Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk, Hunter Biden sent his business partner Devon Archer a very detailed email about Ukraine that contained classified information. At the end, he told Archer they should both get burner phones “tomorrow.”
  2. In early November of 2015, Hunter Biden and Devon Archer asked John Sandweg to help them get U.S. visas for Burisma executives. In response, Sandweg provided them with classified visa information about a foreign national that none of them had any right to see.
  3. On December 2, 2015, Blue Star Strategies emailed the minutes of a White House memo containing details about U.S. policy regarding Ukraine and the agenda for then-VP Biden’s upcoming trip to Ukraine. This was classified information that neither Blue Star nor Hunter Biden had any right to see.

PRODIGAL SON: [5:02] – Dearest and I just finished watching a movie based on the Parable of the Prodigal Son. I feel badly for Charles but, you know … he kind of made this bed when he married Diana, a woman he didn’t love, while continuing to carry on with Camilla, who was herself married to someone else.

PROJECT VERITAS: Steven Bannon & James O’Keefe Discuss Viral #DirectedEvolution Investigation [8:38] – Funny thing how ::crickets:: the Legacy Media is being about this BLOCKBUSTER story. Why am I not surprised that this is at the top of his Wikipedia entry … “James Edward O’Keefe III is an American political activist and provocateur who founded Project Veritas, a far-right activist group that uses deceptive editing techniques to attack mainstream media organizations and progressive groups.” And never you mind that PV posts their unedited videos as well, PLUS has yet to lose a single lawsuit! But the Wrongs gotta wrong.

RAAACISM: According to the Wrongs, when a Black man is killed by Black police officers from a Black police force led by a Black police chief in a Black city, it’s really all about racism!

SCOTLAND: The justice secretary has announced that no imprisoned mtf trannies will be allowed in women-only prisons if they have committed sexual and/or violent crimes against women.

TERF stands for trans-exclusionary radical feminist – i.e., women who believe mtf trannies are not really women.

GRAMMY NOTES: Dearest and I were folding the queen sized sheets together when I was suddenly just ‘whelmed with love for him and said, “I really like being married to you.” He stopped folding and said, “I really like being married to you too!” Then we finished the sheets.

About Exorcisms and Relics

LifeSiteNews interview [1:00:30] – Fr. Carlos Martins talks about some of the exorcisms he has performed and about how Catholics can protect themselves against the forces of evil. The podcast is @ https://www.exorcistfiles.tv/.

The Exorcist Files Podcast [1:00] – In the last several years, there has been an alarming increase in the number of reported demonic possessions. Father Carlos Martins has been in the exorcism ministry for almost two decades and has encountered evil in nearly every way imaginable. The Exorcist Files are his stories.

In addition to being an exorcist, Fr. Martin is director of the Treasures of the Church ministry. [2:53] – This exposition has special significance for me and Dearest, because one of our grands got to visit it with his parents last fall. When they came for Christmas, they brought us a third class relic and the DVD version of the presentation Fr. Martin gives to those who attend in person.

Since thinking about people venerating objects will no doubt strike many of you as blatant idolatry, I hope you’ll read the following from the Treasures of the Church website.

About Relics

Relics are physical objects that have a direct association with the saints or with Our Lord. They are usually broken down into three classes. First class relics are the body or fragments of the body of a saint, such as pieces of bone or flesh. Second class relics are something that a saint personally owned, such as a shirt or book (or fragments of those items). Third class relics are those items that a saint touched or that have been touched to a first, second, or another third class relic of a saint.

Scripture teaches that God acts through relics, especially in terms of healing. In fact, when surveying what Scripture has to say about sacred relics, one is left with the idea that healing is what relics “do.”  

  • When the corpse of a man was touched to the bones of the prophet Elisha the man came back to life and rose to his feet (2 Kings 13:20-21).
  • A woman was healed of her hemorrhage simply by touching the hem of Jesus’ cloak (Matthew 9:20-22).
  • The signs and wonders worked by the Apostles were so great that people would line the streets with the sick so that when Peter walked by at least his shadow might ‘touch’ them (Acts 5:12-15).
  • When handkerchiefs or aprons that had been touched to Paul were applied to the sick, the people were healed and evil spirits were driven out of them (Acts 19:11-12).

In each of these instances God has brought about a healing using a material object.  The vehicle for the healing was the touching of that object. It is very important to note, however, that the cause of the healing is God; the relics are a means through which He acts.  In other words, relics are not magic.  They do not contain a power that is their own; a power separate from God.  Any good that comes about through a relic is God’s doing. But the fact that God chooses to use the relics of saints to work healing and miracles tells us that He wants to draw our attention to the saints as “models and intercessors” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 828).

Is It Ten Years to Triumph?

In the first 21 minutes of the video above, Daniel O’Connor discusses the authenticity of Fr. Gobbi’s prophecies. After 21 minutes, he talks about the specific prophecy that many say proved Gobbi wrong, which conclusion he shows was based on a poor translation and interpretation of the original Italian words of the revelation.

I realize the second half is 30 minutes, but if you can find the time, please do. I think O’Connor makes a very good case and that it fits with what I have posted in recent months. The next two were posted here on January 6 (“End Times Update 2”), so my regular readers will not need to view them.

On December 12, 2022, Pope Francis announced that he had had a vision of great destruction and desolation coming for mankind.

On Feb. 11, 2020, a Brazilian priest named Fr. Oliveira says he saw Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI die in 2022. Since this has happened, it lends credence to the rest of what he reported. This includes the timeline, starting with 2022 and ending in 2029, which coincides with the current Hebrew Shemitah cycle.

The current Hebrew Year 4783 began on September 26, 2022. It is the first Jubilee Year in the Hebrew calendar since HY5733 (1972-1973). It is also the first year of the current Shemitah Cycle. The Jubilee Year is both the 50th year following seven Shemitah cycles and Year One of the current Shemitah Cycle, which will end on September 9, 2029. Given all of the above, I believe we may be in the last Shemitah Cycle of all time.

The Shemitah Cycle is a seven-year period of time prescribed by God. Cf. Exodus 21:2; 23:10–11; Leviticus 25:1–7; Deuteronomy 15:1–6; and 31:10–13. Every seventh year, the people of Israel are commanded to forgive all debts owed by fellow Israelites, to let the land lie fallow, and to permit people and animals to harvest freely whatever food grew on its own.

God also instructed that, at the end of seven Shemitah Cycles (49 years), the Jews were to celebrate a 50th or Jubilee Year. During this year, the land was again to lie fallow. In addition, God mandated that Jews were to set all their slaves free. They were also to return any land they had purchased to the original owners who were to return to that land and live on it.
