I Called It: Gates now claims, “Third shot may be needed to combat new coronavirus variants.”
I was blessed to be asked to present as a distanced-speaker at the Health Freedom Summit with JP Sears and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Because I did not have time to put together an original presentation, they used this video presentation I gave back in 2020: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXSgM0JPUhU In this 2020 video, I described a scenario of how and why the technocratic communists' promoting this health-communism theatre would use a cycle of virus—vaccine—new-virus—new-vaccine, ad infinitum, to maintain social-control over us. I, along with many others, were quickly labeled as "conspiracy theorists." Now, in 2021, even Bill Gates seems bent on vindicating me, (as well as everyone else who participated in the Health Summit Freedom). This following Bill Gates quote is taken from an interview which just aired on the CBS evening News: "All five of the companies that have U.S. vaccines are looking at making [...]
Lebensraum and Climate-Change
Lebensraum was Hitler’s assertion that the German people needed more land in which they could live and breathe, and this would be accomplished by annexing certain nations found to the East of Germany. Lebensraum literally means “living space.” In fact, the notion of lebensraum was found long before World War II, for Hitler coined it in his Mein Kampf first edition (1925) and in the second edition (1928) in which Hitler wrote: And so, we National Socialists consciously draw a line beneath the foreign policy tendency of our pre–War period. We take up where we broke off six hundred years ago. We stop the endless German movement to the south and west, and turn our gaze toward the land in the East. At long last, we break off the colonial and commercial policy of the pre–War period and shift to [...]

Fatima, Portugal and Abortion
In 1917, towards the end of World War I, Mary (the Mother of God) appeared to three shepherd children (including the future Sr. Lucia) in the small town of Fatima, Portugal to speak of God's honor, the Rosary, the state of the Church, the state of Communism that was coming and heaven and hell. There were three secrets that had to do with: 1. A vision of souls in hell. 2. The Immaculate Heart of Mary and the annihilation of nations. 3. "In Portugal, the dogma of the faith will always be preserved, etc." That third secret was written down by Sr. Lucia later in her convent. Many people have asked for decades: What does "etc." refer to? Does this mean the Catholic faith would be lost in the hearts and minds of all Catholics across the globe except for [...]

CPX 53: The Hail Mary Part 2
Prayer part 11 in the Catechism of Pope St. Pius X (CPX) p. 56 Q/A #7-11. Was it sappy poetry or philosophically true when Archbishop Fulton Sheen wrote of Mary that she was “the Woman whom even God dreamed of before the world was made”? https://youtu.be/Y8UxEvsufuA
Real Union Within the Catholic Church
With all these accusations of "schismatic" and "conspiracy theorist" being hurled from normy Catholics to traditional Catholics, let's see what St. Thomas Aquinas has to say: “The sin of unbelief, which fundamentally severs a man from the unity of the Church, simply speaking, makes him to be utterly unfit for receiving this sacrament of the Eucharist because it is the sacrament of the Church's unity.”—St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica 3.80.5ad2 This means that sins against the Deposit of the Faith unchanged from Apostolic times is more what separates a Catholic from worthiness to receive the Eucharist than fighting for reform within the hierarchy. (In fact, fighting for Church reform comes from union with the Eucharist, at least when done in charity.) The above quote from St. Thomas Aquinas also shows that com-union among Catholics is based in supernatural faith in the deposit [...]
