    From the desk of the Final Pope

    The Pope says we are in a Third World War »

    Apparently this happened back in August, right around the time when the Pope was reportedly told that ISIS was issuing him direct threats…

    Interesting commentary from Petrus Romanos

    Meanwhile, some other strange news has hit the Church: This time in the horrible atrocity of the murder of nuns.

    3 Italian nuns found slain in Burundi convent »

    While this is pure speculation and conjecture on my part, I wonder of this some type of retribution from extremists in retaliation to the Pope’s very early aggressive stance on ISIS and his calls for war.. Notice those words have been toned down in recent weeks—after news was reported in Italian services of potential threats on Pope Francis’ life..

    Another creepy aspect of this crime: The first thing it reminded me of was the movie the SEVENTH SIGN. It feels like lots of seals have been broken and hopefully this isn’t the last. Waiting for locusts. We already have plagues and war..

    Life sure is getting troubling to live.

    Drew Carey Donates $10,000 to Help Find Teens Responsible for Horrible Ice Bucket Challenge Prank »

    Drew Carey is stepping up for a very good cause. The Price is Right host and comedian has offered…

    If you didn’t hear about this, as bunch of disgusting excuses for teenagers decided to pull a prank: They convinced an autistic boy to participate in the ice bucket challenge, but instead dumped other things on his head that consisted of urine, feces and spit.

    Drew Carey reacted and issued his own challenge: To find the teens responsible for this.. With that would come $10,000.

    If you want to see how sick the human conditions sometimes is, look no further than this video.

     

    The kids aren’t alright.. I’ve been saying that since I was a kid, too.
    And it hasn’t changed, instead it seemingly is increasingly getting worse.

    Johnny 5 is killing your job

    Here’s The Burger-Flipping Robot That Could Put Fast-Food Workers Out Of A Job »

    A company called Momentum Machines has built a robot “meant to completely obviate [employees].”

    I have been saying for quite some time that the service economy is going to get the same hit that manufacturing did.. that there will be so many fast-paced technological changes, people in service jobs will soon be obsolete.. People will happily give their orders to machines, robots will, as we see here, crank out the food, and bam.. no questions asked.. no complaints, either. And the robot may not care if you like your meal, but since it’s a robot, you won’t be inclined to tell it.

    That’s the future. It’s happening. Quickly, too..

    So when I see fast food workers clamoring for an increase in the minimum wage, I sort of stand back and see the dust settling behind them.. the dust of the jobs.

    I don’t at all say this is a good thing. But this is realistic. This is how it’s going—the future is now and the future as it is happening is making all human production obsolete. But human consumption will not be.

    This is also the beginning of a future where quite possibly money, at least as we know it, is outdated, too..

    Time will tell.

    But time is of the essence. And Johnny 5 is alive. And he is stealing your job.

  • The beheading of Palmira Silva

    The beheading of Palmira Silva

    Here is a troubling story from across the pond.. A Christian woman of Italian descent was found beheaded in her garden in a London Suburb.. Palmira Silva, 82, beheaded..

    Reuters reported that she was elderly and authorities are saying it was not a terrorist act..  So… we’re talking an every day run of the mill beheading as opposed to one of a terrorist nature. Right? Of course we see some more online sources have a bit more of the blanks filled in compared to Reuters.. such as the fact that it was a beheading taking place in the broad daylight.. the machete wielding man was ‘menacing’ others prior to this beheading.

    And the other sort of unsaid fact: Edmonton has a higher than usual  Muslim population.

    While this may not be a terror act, could it not be a terrorist inspired crime?

    Oh, and finally, this: Locals in the town told reporters that the suspect beheader converted to Islam last year.

  • Paging Dr. Wakefield?

    Paging Dr. Wakefield?

    This autism/CDC scandal continues to develop on certain websites.. This series of text messages is being shown by the website TRUTH BARRIER.. the site reports this:

    Dr. Wakefield shared two text messages with The Truth Barrier that he and his wife received from Dr. Thompson.

    The first one was to Dr. Wakefield’s wife, from August 20, 2014, Carmel, and it read:

    I do believe your husbands career was unjustly damaged and this study would have supported his scientific opinion. Hopefully I can help repair it

    Discern appropriately.  Here is the text:

  • The act of choosing your own fate

    The act of choosing your own fate

    New Study from the WHO: One person commits suicide every 40 seconds »

    One person commits suicide every 40 seconds — more than all the yearly victims of wars and natural disaster — with the highest toll among the elderly, the United Nations said Thursday. In its first report on suicide, the UN’s World Health Organisation blamed intense media coverage when celebrities kill themselves for fueling the problem.

    The Robin Williams effect, perhaps?

    There is a certain bit of parallel thought I have on this matter. On one hand, I think suicide is so unfortunate and if people just gave themselves an extra few minutes in the heat of the moment they could avoid making that final decision. But on the flipside, there is a part of me that says we should not, as fellow humans, judge the circumstance and, in a sense, the decision in literally in the hands of the people who commit the act of self-murder..

    This story reminded me immediately of what Art Bell wrote on his Facebook page after Williams died at his own hands:

    “In my opinion Suicide is not always a irrational act. Life is precious but not under all conditions which can only be determined by the person living it.”

    I tend to agree with that sentiment. But at the same time, I think better mental health care in this nation and world would lead to more people not making the choice to take their own lives.

    It’s a tough issue.. And I don’t hold myself as a person with any answers.
    I can say this though: Knowing people who have attempted suicide and another who did commit suicide, it’s a terrible thing for those who survive to have to go through..the most painful part is wondering if there is just something more the living could have done to keep the now dead from succumbing to their own self-made fate..

  • Some very troubling numbers revealed: What Ebola may look like in a few months

    Some very troubling numbers revealed: What Ebola may look like in a few months

    Alessandro Vespignani is a physicist from Northeastern University in Boston..  He worked up a model of how Ebola has spread so far and how it may continue to do so in the coming months. Presented in these numbers: A very horrid time is coming to West Africa. And maybe the world thereafter?

    SCIENCE has the full story of the study.. Kai Kupferschmidt  writes this to summarize the troubling potential visitor of death at the planet’s door step:

    Alessandro Vespignani hopes that his latest work will turn out to be wrong. In July, the physicist from Northeastern University in Boston started modeling how the deadly Ebola virus may spread in West Africa. Extrapolating existing trends, the number of the sick and dying mounts rapidly from the current toll—more than 3000 cases and 1500 deaths—to about 10,000 cases by 24 September, and hundreds of thousands in the months after that. “The numbers are really scary,” he says—although he stresses that the model assumes control efforts aren’t stepped up. “We all hope to see this NOT happening,” Vespigani writes in an e-mail.

    This would be dramatic..

    What troubles me, as well, is how little we may know of Ebola is some locales. Consider this news today, for instance: Sudan is banning truth reporting about Ebola in the nation..

    The director of the CDC confirms what we all sort of know: Ebola is spiraling further out of control.. The world is about to lose the containment battle, and NEW cases of Ebola appear to be unrelated to the current strain, according to a FORBES report today written by David Kroll..

    That is important.. and that is bad. New strain.

    If any strain goes airborne? well.. all bets are off.

    And the betting so far has been off anyway..

    BREAKING NOW: Internet video claims to show beheading of reporter..

    According to the video, if true, Stephen Scotloff met the same fate as James Foley.

    And here’s my theory, call my a kook: I think they were both beheaded years ago. I think these videos were recorded years ago.. and I think the videos are being released to coincide with a bigger picture.

  • THE ROB SCHNEIDER EFFECT..

    THE ROB SCHNEIDER EFFECT..

    Let me first say this.. I have no clue where the truth on this story is.. There are multiple sources reporting about ‘unnamed sources’ and multiple people stating those unnamed sources aren’t real.  The crowd that thinks vaccines cause autism are being accused of libel and propoganda. The people who think vaccines never cause any problems are being accused of ignoring blatant evidence of CDC lies. It’s convoluted..often crazy.. and now being graced by the inclusion of the one and only Rob Schneider.

    The group Focus Autism released a press release boasting they found out dramatic news concerning an MMR link to autism..

    Then a story appeared in Global Research stating that the US Centers for Disease Control were involved with covering up a higher incidence of autism in African Americans..  That report quoted ‘unnamed’ sources from the CDC, a whistleblower, saying that African-American boys receiving their first MMR vaccine before 36 months of age are 3.4 times more likely to develop autism vs. after 36 months.

    Yes.. the MMR vaccine.. Unless you’re under a rock, you know all about that ongoing fight.

    Natural News wrote a story about this.. pro-vaccine websites linked to it to mock it.. BUT..in the article, Natural News published an interesting email that it got from a FOIA request.., as seen here:

    Then the online information war got murkier.. A CNN iReport was published by a user ‘eplettner’ concerning the Global Research story. This report blazed online with the headline: “Fraud at the CDC uncovered, 340% increased risk of autism hidden from public.”  Comments on the story hit back hard..  The big majority of the comments thread opposed the story’s publication and said it was propaganda that will lead to health problems for children if big numbers of parents stop vaccinating their kids.

    I said before things got murky…

    There are real studies appearing on government websites that may cause a dilemma for people accusing the people behind this story of lies and deceit. There is a peer reviewed study on NCBI.NLM.GOV called “ Measles-mumps-rubella vaccination timing and autism among young african american boys: a reanalysis of CDC data.” This is a part of the quick conclusion from the study:

    The present study provides new epidemiologic evidence showing that African American males receiving the MMR vaccine prior to 24 months of age or 36 months of age are more likely to receive an autism diagnosis.

    What!? yes.. that’s what it said. The study appeared August 2014. The results section states this:

    When comparing cases and controls receiving their first MMR vaccine before and after 36 months of age, there was a statistically significant increase in autism cases specifically among African American males who received the first MMR prior to 36 months of age. Relative risks for males in general and African American males were 1.69 (p=0.0138) and 3.36 (p=0.0019), respectively. Additionally, African American males showed an odds ratio of 1.73 (p=0.0200) for autism cases in children receiving their first MMR vaccine prior to 24 months of age versus 24 months of age and thereafter

    A credible report.. on an official government website.

    BUT..
    Then came Rob Schneider.

    I first learned that Schneider got himself involved with this by seeing a link on the RAW STORY about it.. They headlined it: Actor and anti-vaxxer Rob Schneider: I have proof the CDC ‘fraudulently changed’ autism data.. Some of the comments on the RAW STORY thread have been hoping for Scheider to get measles from an vaccinated child and die.. others made fun of his acting career..  But someone did link the NCBI study to awkward reactions.. Including the RAW STORY itself, which linked a SNOPES article written a few days ago declaring the 340% autism increase as “probably false.”   Someone asked RAW STORY, “ So…believe Snopes or PubMed??”

    ALL of this confusion has led to the CDC releasing a statement, just within the last few days.. And here is their response in full:

    So….we now know the unnamed whistleblower. His name is Dr. Williams Thompson.. If am getting all of this right, it appears Thompson said that the CDC manipulated evidence by removing African American children without birth certificates for the study to justify vaccinations..

    And finally……Brian Hooker spoke to an online news organization concerning his conversations with Dr. Thompson.

    Ok.. I tried. I’m tired.. I am confused..

    Am I getting any of this right?
    Am I confused?
    Am I getting the full picture? The big picture?

    I’d love to hear thoughts.. see thoughts..

    And for Christ sakes, I wish this debate was over. But it appears it never will be..

    ….I’m confused. Is Rob?

    More weird news making real headlines

    I have written recently about my fascination with stories that ultimately are of the ‘paranormal’ making headlines in mainstream publications.. Today shows us another example of the increasing paranormal-ification of the daily news: Roberto Calderoli, a Senator from Italy, put a request in to the Pope: He wants an exorcism.. 

    Tom Kington in Rome, reporting for the The LONDON TELEGRAPH writes, this:

    At a ceremony last year attended by Miss Kyenge’s father, Clement Kikoko Kyenge, in his home village, a prayer was said in which God was asked to free Mr Calderoli from evil thoughts. A photo of Mr Calderoli was then placed before an altar dedicated to the ancestors of the village, and the same request made.

    But this month Mr Calderoli said a series of misfortunes he has incurred since then – including six hospital operations, the death of his mother, two broken fingers and two broken veterbrae – proved he had actually been cursed by Mr Kyenge.

    And more:

    To cap his year of bad luck, Mr Calderoli this month tweeted a photo of himself holding a six foot long snake he said he had found and killed at his home in Italy.

    Maybe St. Patrick freed the snakes from Ireland and they all moved to Italy..?

    Before getting to overdone in religious fervor to support Mr. Calderoli, consider a few things hidden in plain view about his past dealings with the supposed possessor.A defamation of character case was opened against Calderoli in 2013.. Before he claimed possession at the hands of Kyenge, he first compared to an orangutan—said sorry, but still said it wasn’t racist.  The incident led to the Italian Prime Minister calling for an end to the racist insults..

    With that all said, some faithful may believe that given his possession and racist sentiments, it’s high time for an exorcism. Others may just see things for what things are…

    But regardless.. what about this snake!
