Categorize this up in the ‘crazy Romanian’ file–one overwhelming in high strangeness..
This time the story involves a tragic outcome.
The six-week-old suffered a cardiac arrest and was rushed to hospital on Monday but he died a few hours later, the autopsy revealing liquid in his lungs. Prosecutors have opened a manslaughter investigation against the priest in the north-eastern city of Suceava…
The UK GUARDIAN is among those reporting facts about the religious killing,
An online petition calling for changes to the ritual had gathered more than 56,000 signatures by Thursday evening. “The death of a newborn baby because of this practice is a huge tragedy,” said a message with the petition. “This risk must be ruled out for the joy of baptism to triumph.”
One internet user denounced the “brutality” of the ritual and another criticised the “stubbornness of those who think that it is the will of God” to maintain it.
Local media recounted several similar incidents in recent years. Church spokesman Vasile Banescu said priests could pour a little water on the baby’s forehead instead of full immersion. But Archbishop Teodosie, leader of the Church’s traditionalist wing, said the ritual would not change.
Eminence Calinic, the Archbishop of Arges, is the most prominent voice so far who appears open to change. “In other icons, Jesus stands in the water up to his neck, and with his head bowed he receives baptism by pouring water over the top of his head,” he was quoted as saying.
The Archbishop of Tomis, however, took a more belligerent stance. “We will never change the ritual. The canons of this religion have been in place for over 1,000 years,” he said. “That is why we won’t change. We are not intimidated.”
It features the beauty and grit of New York along with once busy streets tampered down by a snowstorn.. and the ambulance reminds us also of the virus. A virus that created space on sidewalks long prior to the blizzard of 2021.
To the Reddit user’s credit, it truly is like the cover of a video game about a pandemic in a end times scenario..
Another REDDIT user said, “Was walking back from work (tv studio) with my kids the other day, we walked about 2 blocks in midtown passing literally nobody, no cars, no people, nothing, at 3 pm on a weekday. My daughter flapped her arms around and whispered to me, ‘are we still on set?’”
And one more,
“If it wasn’t for this picture, I’d have a hard time imagining NYC with nearly empty streets. Just doesn’t seem possible”
Not only possible but evident and real..
This photo has no name. But to correspond it with realty, perhaps the perfect fitting label would be titled: “Dark Winter, New York.”
An actor in California who appeared in a live-action Stranger Things experience, is suing Netflix and other defendants for failing to provide adequate COVID-19 work conditions.
Timothy Hearl, who played an alternate dimension Demogorgon monster on Stranger Things: The Drive Into Experience, is the first actor to sue entertainment employers over COVID-19 working conditions in the January 15 suit he filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court.
Netflix, Empyrean Production Services, Redrock Entertainment Services LLC, Fever Labs Inc. and Secret Group U.S. Inc are named as defendants in the case.
Hearl was required to wear a costume for the monster role, complaining to superiors in work emails about safety before he was reassigned to play a character who wore a hazmat suit. The lawsuit states that Hearl expressed concern about being exposed to COVID-19 while at the indoor rehearsals..
Hearl and other actors would learn that they had been replaced after complaining, with the company firing him for what they say was “making women uncomfortable.”
According to published reports, Hearl now fears that he’ll be blacklisted from the industry because of the allegations, the suit states. He had to out himself as a gay man, which prompted defendants to then change their reasoning for firing him to ‘due to client’s request,’ the lawsuit reads.The actor has suffered depression, pain, humiliation, severe emotional distress, trauma and sleeplessness. Hearl is seeking unspecified damages, according to the suit…
Here is a video of just what the drive in experience was like:
Neighbors engaged in a snow shoveling dispute from this week’s significant winter storm in northeastern Pennsylvania are all now dead. In the northeastern Pennsylvania community of Plains, roughly 15 miles southwest of Scranton, Luzerne County District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis said a husband and wife were shot to death in the street outside their home just before 9am Monday.
The suspect who shot them was found dead in his home of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The Luzerne county coroner pronounced all three dead just before 11:30 a.m. Monday.
According to a joint statement released by Salavantis and Dale Binker, who serves as Police Chief for Plains Township, 50 year old James Goy and 48 year old Lisa Goy were shot to death by their neighbor, 47 year-old James Spaide.
“The Goys were shoveing the snow from their parking spots, shoveling the snow across the road, and throwing the snow onto Spaide’s property,” the joint statement said. Witnesses told investigators that Spaide asked the couple to stop, escalating the incident to a shouting match. Witnesses said Goy then took a tool he was using to remove snow from his car and threw it at Spaide. When Goy approached Spaide, Spaide retreated into his house, grabbed a gun, and returned to shoot them. The incident, captured on a resident’s security camera, shows Spaide firing multiple times into the Goys. Spaide returned to his house after killing them, where according to officials, he used another firearm to commit suicide as the police arrived and approached his home.
In the security video, Spaide can be heard muttering that the Goys are “scummy” before he appears in the frame, sparking an immediate reaction from the pair.
“This is bull s—,” Lisa shouts.
“You can go f— yourself,” her husband adds.
When Spaide returned with the gun, Lisa shouted, “Go ahead,” she urges her armed neighbor. “Go ahead.” After some more shouting, Spaide opened fire.
The Goy’s 15 year old autistic child remained in the house during his parent’s murder. He is now in the custody of his grandparents.
With the entire incident captured on video and the gunman dead, officials have declared the case “closed.”
This made major news organizations throughout the days afterwards. For some reason, it became a largely shared story in the United Kingdom.
But what may have made matters even more disgusting about this event has been two things 1) The social media response. Some have opined in ways that truly show the socials have become the ghetto of the internet.. and 2) The video.
THE VIDEO
For more than a day, several Youtube channels had the full video of the entire encounter posted.. It is really not clear how the video was able to be leaked so fast and how it remained on social media for the amount of time it did.
After all, any mention of the My Pillow Guys gets you automatically disbanded! But this video stayed for hours showing the murder of two people in broad daylight..
The video, which Eyewitness News will not be showing, was shared on social media and garnered over 1,000 views before being removed. Around 1:30 p.m. the link to the video had been disabled, stating: “This video has been removed for violating YouTube’s policy on violent or graphic content,” according to YouTube.
Eyewitness News has reached out to the Luzerne County District Attorney’s Office for comment and is awaiting response.
The image is out there of the encounter right before the first shot is fired .. almost all news sources are using that. The caption underneath reads that it is from the Luzerne County prosecutor’s office.
How the entire video leaked out is a question. Why YouTube took days to remove is..
Meanwhile atrocious media was able to share it by the thousands before a crackdown began…
It seems to be offline now .. but with its short life span in the scheme of things, it is now “out there” in Internetland. Ready to pop up again in a future setting when you least expect the horror ..
Now before anyone labels this article “fake news” or tries reporting it on social media for some violation of some rule, let us first say this: COVID-19 is real, it is true, and it is still affecting people in big ways. I have personal experiences with family who are very close.. I know. The crisis is not over and we have many more challenges before it is.
That said, something baffling appears to be happening…
Cases are rising in just 6 states in the United States right now. The other 44 are seeing drops..Not only that, but hospitalizations are falling and so are case counts globally..
And this without the vaccine being in a huge segment of the population.. This without herd immunity..
There are mainstream reports stating that experts are a little baffled by the sudden drop in numbers.. Maybe, a few ponder, it shows that much more of the population actually had the virus and didn’t even know..
Perhaps the Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years surge really increased the cases and now with those concluding the numbers are falling? But the more highly contagious UK variant is still set to become the dominant strain soon, so this drop could be a false hope?
That said.. other factors have not changed. It is still winter. Vitamin D levels are still low.. there should not be this dramatic of a drop taking place as the setting of the viral spread stays the same as when it was spiraling out of control.
From the UK DAILY MAIL report,
Public health experts believe that the decline in cases is likely a combination of a higher number of people who’ve had the virus than official counts suggest – meaning as many as 90 million people have antibodies against the virus – and fewer people traveling and holding gatherings than did over the winter holidays.
It’s not just the U.S., however. The World Health Organization (WHO) said on Monday it has also seen declining new infections globally over the past three weeks. Our World in Data graphs show the daily infection rate has fallen by 30 percent in that period.
But Director-General Tedros Adhanom warned against relaxing restrictions to slow the spread of coronavirus on the heels of the good news.
‘Over the past year, there have been moments in almost all countries when cases declined, and governments opened up too quickly, and individuals let down their guard, only for the virus to come roaring back,’ he said.
There is one other factor not being stated: People may not be either going for as many tests as they were initially despite having the virus, or perhaps testing itself is not keeping up with the virus?
Many theories that have abounded about why the case count is dropping so swiftly state that the virus is still spreading at the same rapid pace, but testing just is not accurate.
One other number providing a fly in that ointment are the hospital numbers. They seem to be falling as well. Have we peaked?
We are the HORROR REPORT, so we include angles most mainstream sources don’t.
While this drop in cases certainly does not equate to the virus being vanquished from our world, it does bring up an interesting memory of the early pandemic days just about a year ago at this time.
When the first outbreak and lockdowns began to rifle their way through global society, a fearful world looked to physics for some form of prediction. One famous prediction was uncovered by a book called END OF DAYS written in 2008 by the late and some may argue great or not so great Sylvia Browne.
Remember that book?
And remember her? She had a track record of helping law enforcement, but also having some huge embarrassments :
In her book END OF DAYS, Browne wrote this about what could happen in 2020:
In around 2020 a severe pneumonia-like illness will spread throughout the globe, attacking the lungs and the bronchial tubes and resisting all known treatments.
“Almost more baffling than the illness itself will be the fact that it will suddenly vanish as quickly as it has arrived, attack again 10 years later, and then disappear completely.”
Controversy followed Sylvia Browne in life.. and now additionally in death.
A few months ago, the YouTube channel G TEAM PARANORMAL INVESTIGATORS tried contacting Browne from beyond the grave about her COVID predictions.. this video will provide entertainment for your end of days:
Six people were in custody after altering Los Angeles’ landmark Hollywood sign to read “Hollyboob,” police said.
Photos shared online showed the sign — which overlooks the Hollywood hills — with the W and D replaced with Bs.
According to local outlet NBC Los Angeles, the group were activists trying to raise awareness about breast cancer, and used large sheets of tarpaulin to make the edits.
They did not cause any permanent damage to the sign, a policeman told local media.
LAPD Hollywood police chief Captain Steve Lurie said the stunt was “way uncool.”
“Los Angeles landmarks are precious,” he said on Twitter.
The incident is far from the first time the landmark has been modified — having been edited on three separate occasions by marijuana-loving locals to read “Hollyweed.”
A survey of more than 31,000 people shows that insufficient sleep, mental health problems, and stress were the causes of a whole host of symptoms doctors are used to seeing in head injury patients. Symptoms of what doctors call post-concussion syndrome (PCS) range from persistent headaches, dizziness and anxiety, to insomnia and loss of concentration and memory.
While 27 percent of people report having several of these symptoms, between one-half and three-quarters say they experience at least one. The most common symptoms are fatigue, low energy and drowsiness. Yet despite their findings, researchers believe the number in the general population could be much higher.
The National Collegiate Athletic Association and the US military officially funded the study that produced this shocking results.. It was designed to improve care for athletes and soldiers who suffered concussions. A total of 2,039 military service academy cadets and 18,548 student athletes were surveyed.
While there is no conclusion or theory as to why such a dramatic number of people are walking around as though they have brain damage, the past year has not helped!
Perhaps the zombie mentality we find ourselves in has been the result of the news cycle in overdrive, fears over the virus, and addiction to our smart phones. People are restless and edgy.. Their smart phones and social media wars aren’t helping.
