Month: February 2013

Police tonight seemed to close in on fugitive cop Christopher Dorner.. But just then a fire started and a gunshot was heard. CBS2′s Carter Evans, who also reported that tear gas was fired into the house before the fire broke out…

People are not being permitted near the burning cabin..

But
Is it Dorner?!

This from CNN:

Authorities also aren’t certain that Dorner was the person they chased to the cabin and fatally shot a sheriff’s deputy, but that the suspect has been described as looking like Dorner and “we have reason to believe that it is him,” she said.

She added that she’s not aware of any hostages at the cabin.

Coming on this developing story..

The epicenter was in a rural area of the state.. The AP reports:

The U.S. Geological Survey says the magnitude 4.9 earthquake hit at 4:10 p.m.

It was centered 45 miles west of Tonopah, Nev., and followed by two smaller earthquakes recorded at magnitude 3.1 and magnitude 3.3.

North Korea says it ‘successfully’ conducted third underground nuclear test at a northern test site.

More from the AP:

An earthquake was detected Tuesday in North Korea just north of a site where the country has conducted nuclear tests. Neither Pyongyang nor Seoul confirmed whether the tremor resulted from a widely anticipated third nuclear test, though an analyst in Seoul said a nuclear detonation was a “high possibility.”

This is an actual image (source here) of lightning striking St. Peter’s in Rome–just hours after Pope Benedict announced he would resign at the end of this month..

Those who feel there is something strange in the air may look to this photo as proof. Religious people may be humble by the power of God striking the home if men.. Or maybe the omen of the age is present in the image? A single lightning bolt from the heavens, signaling that something has gone awry or perhaps the chain of inevitable events have begun…?

Benedict is the first Pope to resign since Gregory XII in 1415 and no Pontiff in history has stepped down on health grounds.

I always think back a few years to the weeks before Pope John Paul met his fate. Do recall the doves flying around his head? He tried to shoo them away but was unsuccessful… They kept circling his face. Some took that as a sign.. Some looked deep at the meaning.

And now tonight, lightning striking the dome, may very well be looked on the same way…

The London TELEGRAPH is reporting that Pope Benedict’s resignation is spawning conspiracy theories.. this is exactly what the HORROR REPORT spoke about early this morning as we were reading user comments on forums across the world.. The ‘whodunit’ on the papacy was in full effect.

By the way the TELEGRAPH neglected to mention and prophet or prophecy of the popes in its story…you’d think that would be among the ‘conspiracy theories’ wouldn’t you??

But do the Cardinals in Rome understand the gravity of the situation given the prophecy of the Popes and what it may foretell for either the church, the world, or both?

There is intrigue in Rome tonight, as the Vatican prepares to say goodbye to a pope who is leaving on his own volition for the first time in hundreds of years–And in the Holy Roman Empire behind closed doors chatter and whispers gather… Who will be that succeeds Pope Benedict?

There is also chatter online tonight, as Horror Report showcased earlier, There is a strange prophecy of the Popes has been around for hundreds of years as well.. I received a number of email questions today regarding this, and tried to explain it in an earlier post today.

Someone pointed out that there is controversy with as to whether or not St. Malachy even wrote the prophecy. Albeit there is controversy about the source of the document, what is amazing is how accurate the prophecy has been when compared to actual events and men who became pontiff.

We will continue to monitor the story, the conclave, the rumors, and the eventual choice. When the black smoke turns white at St. Peter’s Square in Rome, there’ll be a pope and quite possibly the final one if this prophecy holds true.

A user emailed me asking more on the prophecy of the popes..

Saint Malachy is believed you’ve written it.. Some have said he didn’t and instead the document is a fraud.

The 1913 Catholic Encyclopedia wrote this on Malachy:

The most famous and best known prophecies about the popes are those attributed to St. Malachy. In 1139 he went to Rome to give an account of the affairs of his diocese to the pope, Innocent II, who promised him two palliums for the metropolitan Sees of Armagh and Cashel. While at Rome, he received (according to the Abbé Cucherat) the strange vision of the future wherein was unfolded before his mind the long list of illustrious pontiffs who were to rule the Church until the end of time.

This full prophecy is available here to read.

Malachy (supposedly) wrote this on the next Pope:

In persecutione extrema S.R.E. sedebit Petrus Romanus, qui pascet oves in multis tribulationibus: quibus transactis civitas septicollis diruetur, & Judex tremêdus judicabit populum suum. Finis.
(In extreme persecution, the seat of the Holy Roman Church will be occupied by Peter the Roman, who will feed the sheep through many tribulations, at the term of which the city of seven hills will be destroyed, and the formidable Judge will judge his people. The End.)
