Confusion, Intrusion, and Delusion with No Earthly Solution

“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron [no longer responding to moral and spiritual warnings]” (1 Timothy 4:1-2).

“Evil men and seducers [impostors] shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived” (2 Timothy 3:13).

At least 20 colleges or universities associated with the Catholic Church have held, or plan to hold, these “lavender graduation” ceremonies and celebrations, done separate from the main commencement ceremony, intended to “honor and celebrate achievements of LGBTQ+ graduates.” ‘Sativa the Drag Queen’ is expected to perform at Seattle University’s separate LGBTQ+ grad ceremony. At the University of San Francisco (private Jesuit school), the school’s website indicates it plans to hold a “Queer Prom” directly after their “Lavender Commencement.”

Godless Globalist Goblins and Mother Earth Worshipers

Countries Plan “Fossil Fuel” Phaseout at Colombia Conference. Countries already publish climate plans under the Paris agreement, but these were called not sufficient because they addressed only countries’ domestic greenhouse gas emissions, allowing fossil fuel producers to sidestep the [so-called] climate impact of their exports.

Economic and Food Insecurity

Legendary economist known for 1969-70 recession prediction warns downturn may hit in 2026. Gary Shilling, known for his bearish accuracy and firing from Merrill Lynch for predicting the 1969-70 recession, is sounding the alarm on a 2026 economic collapse.

SUPER EL NIÑO, IS THE TERMINATOR TO BLAME?
In a 2023 paper, Robert Leamon of NASA and the University of Maryland (Baltimore County) made a striking prediction: The next El Niño would arrive in 2026. He based it on the Terminator, a magnetic event on the sun that ends one solar cycle and ignites the next. Averaging the past five solar cycles into a “standard cycle” and projecting it forward, Leamon found that El Niños follow about five years after a Terminator. The most recent termination event happened in December 2021, putting the next El Niño squarely in 2026. His model says nothing about the strength of this El Niño, but the timing is spot-on.

What to know about the Ebola outbreak blamed for scores of deaths in Congo
Africa’s top public health body has confirmed a new Ebola outbreak in Congo’s Ituri province, the 17th since the disease first emerged in the country in 1976. A total of 246 suspected cases and 65 deaths in Congo have already been recorded in the new outbreak, the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention said in a statement on Friday.

Chinese Intellectual Property Theft Zeroes in on AI and Advanced Chips 
While Chinese intellectual property theft has plagued the United States and the West for decades, recent efforts by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to zero in on artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced microchips could prove particularly disastrous for American economic and national security. Congress must act decisively to stay ahead of Beijing. CCP-backed entities are now stealing AI labs’ intellectual property on an industrial scale. “Leveraging tens of thousands of proxy accounts to evade detection and using jailbreaking techniques to expose proprietary information,

Prophetic Pieces: As Putin Ups The Ante In The Arms Race, Russia Considers Providing Refuge To Top Iranian Leaders
Preparations for the Gog Magog coalition prophesied in Ezekiel 38 and 39 are increasing and intensifying. Written 2,500 years ago by Ezekiel, these chapters prophesy an end-time invasion of Israel led by the nations of Russia, Iran, and Turkey. Two significant developments showcase that the prophetic pieces are falling perfectly into place.

Trump warns Taiwan against declaring independence from China after meeting Xi

Border crisis fallout: Midwest prosecutions of South American theft ring ongoing
Four people were indicted this week in connection to more than a dozen completed and attempted residential burglaries in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Florida. In the Midwest, prosecutors are also hoping to put behind bars alleged members of a South American Theft Group who were allegedly targeting residents in the Green Bay area.

Nonprofit Crackdown: Feds Target the Liberal Dark Money Infrastructure 
A dual-pronged investigative and regulatory pincer movement is moving to close on the nonprofits and “dark money” networks that have long anchored the American left’s political and cultural infrastructure. From Congress to the Justice Department and the IRS, the Trump administration and allied lawmakers are examining the anonymity and tax-exempt status enjoyed by some of the most influential progressive organizations in the country. The latest development came on Thursday when the House Oversight Committee issued a subpoena to the Sixteen Thirty Fund, the massive non-profit hub managed by Arabella Advisors.

SSPX responds: ‘Excommunicated? But by whom? By those who kneel before Pachamama?’
The Society of Saint Pius X responds to the Holy See’s recent statement regarding excommunication if episcopal consecrations are carried out on July 1. The novelty that appears in this declaration from Rome is that the episcopal consecrations scheduled for July 1st will not be “accompanied by the corresponding papal mandate.” Coming from a Prefect of a Vatican dicastery, this remark is quite clearly an attempt to convey to the Society that Pope Leo XIV will refuse to authorize the consecrations.

Russians published footage of a drone striking a UN convoy in Kherson. UN says they “don’t know” who did it.
A clearly marked UN humanitarian convoy was struck by Russian FPV drones in Kherson on 14 May, according to the UN and regional authorities. The UN says it cannot identify who carried out the attack.

Further negotiations are expected toward the end of the month. The announcement comes after a third round of talks between the parties in the United States. Yechiel Leiter, Israel’s ambassador to the US and chief negotiator, describes the talks as “candid and constructive.” “There will be ups and downs, but the opportunity to achieve success is great,” he writes on social media.

Scientists Looked Inside an ‘Impossible’ Crystal Formed in the Heart of a Nuclear Blast—And Found Something No One Had Ever Seen
The research team behind the discovery said that the extreme heat and pressure conditions released during the early atomic weapons test created the unique glass, including rare “mineral and metallic” specimens trapped within its crystalline structure, which are not commonly seen outside the laboratory.

Deadlocked At Square Zero: Very First Line Of Iran’s Latest Proposal ‘Unacceptable,’ Trump Says
Tehran and Washington are truly not just back to square one, but it’s as if no rounds of dialogue – direct or indirect – have even taken place. It’s more like being back at square zero – and the US President has just acknowledged it. President Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One Friday while departing Beijing that even the very first first sentence of Iran’s latest proposal was “unacceptable” and blamed the Iranians for backtracking on the nuclear issue.

IDF targets top Hamas leader in Gaza airstrike
The IDF on Friday evening conducted an airstrike on a residential building in the Rimal neighborhood of Gaza. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz later confirmed that the target of the strike was Izz al-Din al-Haddad, the leader of the Hamas terrorist organization’s military wing and one of the architects of the October 7th massacre. A senior Israeli defense official stated that according to initial indications, the elimination attempt was successful.

The UFO Phenomenon Is Not Proof Of Extraterrestrials, But Evidence Of A Larger Spiritual Deception
Many people in our churches have noticed the recent increase in news stories, government hearings, military footage, and online discussions regarding UFOs-UAPs/aliens. Add to that the recent (unverified) report of a “Pastor’s meeting” with government officials discussing these topics, and it is understandable why some believers are taking notice—especially those who hold to a biblical view of the rapture of the church and the return of Christ. I have personally awaited this day to begin addressing UFOs/aliens out of necessity and not speculation.

Canada’s Assisted Suicide Program Could Include Children And The Mentally Ill
Canada’s MAID program is the subject of ongoing concern among anti-globalist movements across the western world. The assisted suicide system kills around 15,000 or more Canadians each year and is quickly expanding to include more and more people who are not terminally ill. Almost all assisted suicide programs are created by liberal governments and all of them are initially promoted as a way to “end the suffering” of people who are close to death anyway. However, this is merely the first stage of the greater goal, which is to normalize the government sanctioned killing of almost anyone for any reason.

Re-Arranging The Global Game-Board ‘Bigly’.
“Trump has done so much damage to libtardery that the Democrats will need a decade of uninterrupted power to undo it, which they’re not going to get.” If you learned anything from this week’s extravaganza in Beijing, it is that Donald Trump is aggressively re-aligning world relations so that the USA does not end up one of the losers in the global resource scramble that lurks darkly behind all current events. China does not intend to be an eventual loser, either, though it has lost a lot of traction lately. The Eurolands are certainly the main losers, Iran is the poster boy for that. It could go either way for them, soon, and rather sharply. If Iran’s jihad-happy leaders just quit FAFOing, they have the chance to re-enter the global community as an advanced modern economy with a comfortable standard of living.

Japan hit by powerful earthquake as warnings issued for five regions

Defra wants to replace native white Britons with anything but white to “diversify” the countryside
The British gov’t launched a project to increase ethnic minority visitation and employment in the English countryside. Why? It’s “too white”; therefore, in skewed minds of left-wing ideologues, “racist.” So, the Dept for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs embarked on a project to replace the “whiteness,” i.e., natives, of the English countryside with non-whites.

Muslim Brotherhood Takeover: Chicago City Council Fights to Free Convicted Hamas Operative Salah Sarsour 
The Chicago City Council has been seized by the Muslim Brotherhood as three aldermen fight to free convicted Hamas fundraiser Salah Sarsour from ICE custody, a direct execution of the Brotherhood’s secret 1982 master plan called “The Project.”

Supreme Court Justices Spotted Wearing Abortion Pill Sponsor Shirts After Key Ruling
Supreme Court justices stepped out Thursday sporting matching polo shirts from Abortion Pill Inc. shortly after the court preserved nationwide mail delivery of mifepristone, the leading medication for murdering babies.

The UFO Phenomenon Is Not Proof Of Extraterrestrials, But Evidence Of A Larger Spiritual Deception
Bible-believing Christians should view the UFO phenomenon not as evidence of benevolent extraterrestrials, but as part of a spiritual deception preparing the world for end times. Could this help explain the rapture of the church after believers disappear? This would be ideal for the Evil One to keep the focus from Christ and to national gov’ts, maybe a world leader – antichrist.

Fox News Crew Snared by China’s Massive Surveillance System While Covering Trump Visit: ‘They See Everything’

Israeli strike targets Hamas military leader Izz al-Din al-Haddad, ‘last architect of Oct. 7’
He was supposedly killed in an airstrike in Gaza City on Friday. There was no immediate confirmation that he was killed, but news of the strike prompted a joyous response from several hostages he’d personally held, and many hailed the apparent death of the last of the major architects of the October 7, 2023, massacre.
